This may well be an excellent gift to your pastor for his DRE. They are always looking for inspirational materials to use in catechisis. Several times this past year, certain students told me they had been invited by their protestant friends to attend a Sunday service at the new evangelical church. They had many questions. Since I will not be teaching this year, I plan on giving this book to the DRE to share with the other teachers.

I was fine until #4...then you lost me. Way too many assumptions in the interpretation...and for me, it goes down hill from there, despite what Martin Grodi says. As a Protestant, he was obviously poorly taught.

When the article says the pastor thought about all of the churches teaching something differnt than he was teaching, a Catholic church was one of those churches. He does not explain why the Catholic church is the one that is correct. I could sit in a Catholic church, as I have on many occasions, and think the same thing. Other churches are teaching something differnt. The trick is to find the one you think is correct.

**Certainly, through the Bible, Jesus would have let us know if he intended the divided Christianity of today, with its more than 33,000 denominations and its many contradictory teachings on matters on which one's very salvation may well depend.**

Very important statement here. Jesus said, "I am the Way." What He founded was the Catholic Church.

Not 30+ thousand churches!!!!!
