THE CHURCH FATHER WHO WROTE THIS IN 107 AD AND IT SILENCES EVERY PROTESTANT ARGUMENT
St. Ignatius of Antioch was a student of the Apostle John. He was arrested and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions.
On the way, he wrote seven letters. In 107 AD, within living memory of the Apostles, he wrote:
“Where the bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8:2)
This is the first recorded use of the term “Catholic Church” and it comes from a man who personally knew the Apostle who leaned on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper.
He also wrote:
“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Catholic Church by name. Obedience to bishops in apostolic succession.
107 AD. Not the Council of Trent. Not the Middle Ages.
The next time someone tells you the Catholic Church invented these doctrines centuries later, show them Ignatius.
He wrote this on the way to die for it.

This is so lovely to watch.
A priest celebrating the Holy Mass in sign language. Indeed, the Gospel of the Christ is for everyone and nobody should be excluded from encountering Christ.
In this new week, the Lord himself shall go before you and be with you. He shall not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
May this new day bring healing to silent battles, strength to weary hearts, clarity to confused minds, and unexpected favor to those who are losing hope. May God bless the work of your hands and surround you with peace today. Amen🙏🏽
