Credo in Unum Deum…
We believe in one God…In one holy, Catholic and apostolic church. Or at least some of us do. Some of us pick up our cross daily and follow Christ. Others, well, they take the train. They try to circumnavigate the challenges of following Christ by ignoring the teachings of His Church. These people not only hurt themselves, but they also misrepresent the Church to the public.
I understand that people are very opinionated, but there is very little room for opinion in the business of salvation. The Church has laid out a very precise path for us. Who are we to question over two thousand years of experience? The Holy Catholic Church, the Body of Christ on earth, is concerned with nothing but trying to get all of us to Heaven. We must conform our will to the Church’s will, and therefore Christ’s will.
Whether you are homosexual, pro-choice(murder), or if you do not believe in the primacy of the Pope, I implore you to study Church teachings on these subjects. Your opinion may not change, but neither will the Holy Catholic Church’s opinion change. You cannot make your lifestyle more acceptable by trying to change Church teaching. You are hurting yourself and the Church if you do this.
I love all people and my intention is not to offend. I just don’t like to hear about people expecting the Church to conform to the ideas of a few, to just abandon thousands of years of doctrine. You are welcome to an opinion, but if you expect the Church to condone your lifestyle and give you the Holy Eucharist, then don’t you dare stand next to me in Mass and profess that you believe in “…One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church”.
