Not that it matters, but your post was to me alone and didn't include any of those who are Catholic, that's why I asked.

Regarding those who He sends to humanity, at minimum, I believe it as it was. He has all of Heaven at His disposal and He still sends His prophets to us, too, just as in the recorded past.

Moreover, I also believe that the same sorts who persecuted Him and those He sent in recorded times also persecute those he sends now in ours, and for the same reasons and by similar methods.

To me, being able to "see" in this context is not having the spiritual blindness spoken of in John 9.

I regret if I've misjudged you in this.

Why?

Hasn't enough been said already?


Luke 16:27-30
 
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family,
28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them so they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
29 But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’


It seems to me that you might be singing the same song the rich man did; so long ago.
