And Ephesians 4: SOME (not all] should be prophets, SOME evangelists, SOME pastors and teachers?

Yet she claims she was a missionary...What missionary doesn't proclaim the Gospel???

It is NOT to every one in the Church that this mission of preaching the Gospel is given. it is to the Apostles.

Talk about cherry picking verses...You neglected to cherry pick this one written to a non Apostle;

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

What is pathetic is reading right past her evident humility and devotion to Jesus to cherry pick quotes amenable to being interpreted as though she thought all religions were equally good.

Read it...That's pretty much what she said...She appeared to say that she liked her religion better but the others were good...She liked those religions as well...

But one has to wonder; her mission appears to have been to comfort the flesh but completely ignore the condition of and destiny of the souls of these poor pagans...

To me, an odd thing for someone who calls themselves a Christian...

Her mission was to bring love(what Christ is) to the suffering who have been cast away by others and left to die.

A protestant friend once told me he tried bringing a group of evangelicals to a homeless shelter and all they did is follow the homeless around quoting scriptures to them. Eventually, the homeless stopped coming when the evangelicals were there.

My friend noticed that the homeless would always be around when the Catholics were at the shelter and asked them why .

The homeless said they always felt love and caring from them and felt the Catholics treated them with respect as if they were part of their family. Thus, once the respect was earned they wanted to hear more about Christ.

Love open doors,dear ISCOOL

Amen. She died a tortured soul. She doubted the existence of God for the last 40 years of her life. She admitted she didn't pray. What kind of Christian does not pray?

And RC apologists tell us this woman was "blessed by God."

Disbelief is not a blessing. That's a curse.
