One thing every dedicated anti-Catholic MUST do is remain ignorant of the lives of the saints, martyrs and non-martyrs. The lives of the saints provide prodigious evidence of the working of grace, shown by their heroism, their holiness, their miracles, their great charity.
Zola famously went to Lourdes, saying, “I will believe if I witness a miracle.” While there, he witnessed a miracle. A woman with a cancerous tumor in her face was cured. He saw her before the cure, and saw her shortly afterward, when the disfiguring tumor was gone. He turned away, and said, “To me, she is still ugly.”
The same thing happened in the gospel, when the man with the withered arm was cured. The enemies of Jesus were not converted. The same enemies witnessed Lazarus come out of the tomb after four days dead. They not only refused to believe, they plotted to kill Lazarus (as well as Jesus, of course).
When a heart is full of hate, the intellect goes dark.
Mom, LOL, I see you made the "dedicated anti catholic" list of heroes. Maybe you are considered the de facto president of the dedicated anti catholic cabal. Don't you feel special? Think of the possibilities. I would ask you if another ex catholic, like me, could be the Vice President. We will need a secretary of OFFENSE. I am thinking Elsie would be a perfect fit. We can all get in on the ground floor. Sound like a winner to you? 😄😃😀
One thing every rabbit breeding Catholic MUST do is remain ignorant of the content of the Bible. The lives of the saints, martyrs and non-martyrs (like Mary) are FAR more important.
When a heart is full of Catholicism, the intellect becomes unnecessary.
