What Rome declares about me I could care less.

I do care, and am thankful, that my name has been written in the Lamb's Book of Life. It cannot be erased.

So why do you and others regularly post statements and complaints about the Roman Catholic Church? Why do you persist in misrepresenting its teachings?

In short, why do you care? There are any number of Protestant churches, each with their own brand of Christianity. It could be a “high and holy” Anglican, a mega-church with a climbing wall and rock band, a home church, you name it.

Why not spend your time and energy focused upon the Glory of God? Why waste your time criticizing something you don’t believe? Instead, especially as we prepare for the Nativity of Our Lord, give alms, fast, and repent. Wouldn’t that serve Our Lord more?

Merry Christmas!

written in the book at Baptism, of course, but if you think that you are not free to erase it, you are sadly mistaken.

want to join ISIS because you have a spirit of adventure?, want to have sex with that girl who is nor your wife?, want to help yourself to the merchandise in my store?,

the book of life, as you describe it has certain requirements in order to remain in it. Yes, Jesus died to atone for our sins, but He certainly expects us to clean up our acts.

salvation is a gift...a gift that we are free to refuse at any time and many do. Remember, maany are called but FEW ARE CHOSEN...be careful with that book of life thing..
