What you fail to recognize is that ONLY the true Disciples recognized what Christ was saying and lived their lives according to the Beatitudes

First of all, I want you to reread Mark 9:38-41.

That is to expect to be persecuted in this world for your faith.

Next, I want you to reflect on the Ugandan Martyrs (I'm sure you've heard of them: the Catholic ones were canonized by Pope Paul VI) and remember that quite a few of them were not Roman Catholic, and understand just what this means.

Thank you for posting that reflection on the Beatitudes by Archbishop Sheen. It's wonderful stuff, and I've come to expect nothing less when I read his writings.

Dear Friend,

I fully understand that those who love unconditionally are guided by the Holy Spirit.

The Catholic Church says the same .

We don’t condemn the poor Muslim women who loves unconditionally and has been given a scarecrow my the mullahs.

If she loves unconditionally she has the spirit of Christ and thus can be saved,

It is only the fundamentalists protestants who believe otherwise
