Baptised Catholics who walk away from the true Church often claim they have “seen the light.”
But let’s be clear, that is not the light.
No failure of a priest.
No scandal of a bishop.
Not even the weakness of a Pope is ever a justification to abandon the Catholic Church.
The truth is this: you don’t leave Christ because of Judas.
The Catholic Church is not built on the perfection of men. it is built on Christ Himself and sustained by the Eucharist.
Those who truly understand and value the Eucharist do not walk away from it.
Call it what it is, not “seeing the light,” but turning away from it.
Leaving the Catholic Church is synonymous with turning away from the Light.

The Cross is the center of our life, the center of Salvation. When we have the Crucifix up in our home, we’re telling ourselves and our neighbors that this is a Christian home, a Catholic family, and we look to Jesus as our guide and Our Savior. @thegnewsroom
Scott Adams, the creator of the long-running “Dilbert” comic strip whose art satirized the typical American workplace, died on Jan. 13 at 68 years old after a battle with cancer.
Adams, who became known later in his career for espousing conservative and at times controversial political views, revealed in May 2025 that he was suffering from prostate cancer. The disease spread in the coming months, with Adams passing away after a short stay in hospice.
On Jan. 13, shortly after his death, Adams’ X account posted a “final message” from the renowned cartoonist in which he recalled that many of his Christian friends had urged him to convert to Christianity.
“I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him,” Adams declared in the message, adding that he hoped he was “still qualified for entry” into heaven upon his death.
“I had an amazing life. I gave it everything I had,” he wrote in the statement. “If you got any benefits from my work, I’m asking you to pay it forward as best you can. That is the legacy I want.”
Adams had previously announced his intent to convert on Jan. 1, admitting that “any skepticism I have about reality would certainly be instantly answered if I wake up in heaven.”
Born June 8, 1957, in Windham, New York, Adams began drawing from a young age. His work at the Pacific Bell Telephone Company in the 1980s and 1990s inspired many of the humorous office stereotypes portrayed in “Dilbert.”
A send-up of many of the tropes that continue to define U.S. office work, “Dilbert” became wildly popular into the 2000s and eventually included a brief television series.
Later in his career he launched the video talk series “Real Coffee With Scott Adams,” which he continued until just several days before his death.
In his final message released after his death, Adams told his fans: “Be useful.”
“And please know,” he added, “I loved you all to the end.”
