The Catholic faith is responsible for creating the fire in the souls of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, John Paul II, St. Louis De Montfort, St. Padre Pio, St. Therese Lisieux "The Little Flower," St. John Vianney, St. Joseph, and on and on and on and on. -- Silly me. All this time I thought that was the job of the Holy Spirit.

The RMC creates the "fire" through the Holy Spirit via the Most Holy Eucharist which IS Christ. The Eucharist has been eliminated in other faiths. That's what makes them weak, and in my opinion, why some of their members lash out so at Catholicism. They have the Word, but not the Body. All saints spoke of the power of the Eucharist. You should take pains to not remain ignorant (in regard to the RMC) your entire life. Read the Archbishop Sheen quote.

We have all we need in Christ. What’s the point in adding to Him?

Why the whole hierarchy of saints? Why pray to them and Mary when we can go directly to God the Father as Jesus commanded we do?

The Eucharist is not necessary. Christ died ONCE FOR ALL.
Jesus commanded that communion be done in remembrance of him. That’s all it is.

Wow. Look how far down in that process one would have to go to get to Christ. It is even arguable if He is in that process at all.

Sounds like a lot of prideful raising up of sin-filled fallen people to me.

Also, please post the Bible verses that substantiate this statement: “the Most Holy Eucharist which IS Christ”
