“There has been an exodus from the Catholic Church to Non-Denominational Churches in some parts of India but specially in Brazil, Argentina, and Guatemala”
And if these dear souls come to know Christ and are saved when they learn the Gospel of Grace, there is overwhelming rejoicing in heaven!
Let us rejoice with heaven when the lost are found.
They leave the Church because they are sadly unaware of what she(Church) teaches. They think it is all about Mary in a 1:3 ration, when it is all about Jesus in ratio of 100%.
You sadly don’t know that the Church that brought you the Bible and even the FIRST English translation, is the Church that brought you Jesus, the one true holy, catholic, apostolic church.
Mary is the flashlight to open your eyes that Jesus is right in front of you, that you are blind to Jesus’ love and mercy.
Every have your mother open your eyes to how much your father does for you? You can call your father the name “father” right? Because that’s what he is supposed to be representing to you in the family, the domestic church. He’s a sinner, so he will fall short. But your mother will help you see through your blindness all the same, open your eyes. Often times, like the call of the Holy Spirit - the Light of Christ is ignored, in all of its majesty, by the too smart.
Amen! When I left Catholicism for the genuine Gospel of salvation by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, it was when I became a real Christian. There is nothing in Catholicism that I need or want.
