One of our staff members ordered lunch from DoorDash. The driver went to the wrong door and accidentally came into the cathedral when the office is next door. He had never been in a Catholic church. He was struck by the beauty.
He made the delivery, went home and started researching Catholicism. He just started OCIA.
Beauty attracts.
@b_likemary@MattJSchilling@megbasham Incorrect. I do. Each Catholic Charities is a separate 501c3 and each holds different values from another. Just like they’re a liberal parishes and conservative parishes.
@needGod_net honest Catholic here…I feel closer to God. I pray of you that you that reconsider the honesty of the wording of your question. Note my correct use of the word pray.
@HomemakingLady That’s a false dilemma. Both Catholics and protestants can do both. But not all things are equal. The Eucharist was instituted before a single book of the New Testament was written. That being said the post you are responding to was provocative in nature.
@IndianaBrunner I just don’t understand why some people devote themselves only to proving Catholics wrong and why there’s devote themselves entirely approving protestants wrong. Just talk about what you believe and leave out words that are antonyms. Otherwise you’re devoted ego not truth.
@reverend_px@warmonksociety I used to be a Protestant minister. I went through a Protestant bible college and seminary and converted to Catholicism? 🤷♂️
@realJohnDouglas there is no no challenge here. The Catholic Church doesn’t teach that every single person that dies must go to purgatory. Take a look at ccc1030. The thief was fully purified through his repentance, faith, suffering, and union with Christ in that moment on the cross
