Smvoice is another who seems to think that following Christ’s clear scriptural direction to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit those in prison and heal the sick is somehow trying to “earn” salvation. This is so false

Not only is it false, but to translate it into protestantese, it is directly contradicted by the plain language of scripture in Matthew 25:31-46.

Jesus does not say that, when the Son of Man comes in his glory, that he will ask, "OK, who here has accepted Me as Savior?" It does not say, "OK, which one of you came forward at an altar call?" It does not say, "Glad to see all of you who made a decision for Me at a young age - the rest of you Catholics who fed me when I was hungry, clothed me when I was naked, and visited me in prison, go away to eternal punishment".

The whole thread has become absurd.

Is anyone still discussing the imprudence of a Catholic pastor allowing the heretic Otis Charles to preach in a Catholic church?

Thanks. All these threads quickly become absurd, anti-Catholic screeds. I don’t know why there are any Catholics left on the forum, including me.
