Blasphamy. Those who mock the Lord Jesus Christ pay in the end. It’s sad, and really sad that it’s usually lapsed Catholics that were ignorant of the faith to start with. Then they are not ignorant and continue to spit in the face of God by belittling His pilgrim church on earth.

Luke 18:9-14 blue: He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Not blasphemy. God saves those who throw themselves on the mercy of the court, not those who appeal to works they have done.
