...”Jesus’ body died...It was resurrected and GLORIFIED”...... I'm convinced they are not sufficiently informed of the resurrection of Jesus and what it means in relationship to Jesus or us....bodily and otherwise. Much in catholic-ism is focused on the past, as if the New Testament is something simply to tack on now and then. Just as much, their focus keeps Him on the cross one way or the other...not about his Resurrection. For them to move forward would mean an affect on how they see communion and see the elements as well as their Priesthood...and that's too close for comfort.

If you focus too much on Jesus as a baby, you might just lose sight of his real mission.

I agree...They fashioned their buildings, attire and customs on a combination of Jewish Old Testament Temple and pagan traditions...They don't even bother with the New Testament instructions to the churches...

When one digs a little, one can find they claim their 'Church' IS the kingdom of God, on earth...When they are successful in 'uniting' all the religions of the world into their religion, THEN their 'Christ' will show up...

I am always fascinated that when they speak of their 'Christ', they rarely if ever mention the name of Jesus...
