And I’ll stand by what the Catholic Encyclopedia states. Just as the article states, the blood of Christ is insufficient to cleanse the soul. One has to add something to the finished work of Christ.
It always amazes me how Catholics seem to want to shy away from discussing the teachings of the Church, yet constantly defend the Church itself. It isn’t unlike a cult.

Well put Jesus as a leader of that cult then....because it was HE that said forgiveness of sin will occurr beyond a singular- one time deal.... but still only through the Grace of God - just the same....
and theres nothing insufficient about that- and its not taught as insufficient by the Church either. What you imply is false.
"But whoever speaks against the holy Ghost, it shall not be Forgiven him, in this world, NOR in the world to come."
That promise is found in the GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
