18. How Can the Proselytizer Kill Catholic Faith?
INFERNAL INTERNET
My dear Helbib,
How can the faith of Catholics be undermined by other religious folk? One instance, which comes to mind, was the result of an invitation to a Protestant bible study wherein the anti-Catholics picked apart the tottering believer's faith. They made him feel elitist himself, one of the specially chosen to see deeper than the rest. They gave him bible tracts that punched holes in what he had always thought was the truth. I find it hard to believe that Catholics would fall for this, but they do. Does the move excite the defector? Oftentimes there is an attraction to these new friends, this is the case, particularly for the young. But, what is all this compared to what they have lost? One day they will have to confront the L-rd and he will ask each of them, "Why did you stop receiving me in Holy Communion? Why did you attack the Church I myself established? Why did you abandon my family of faith, my saving body? How is it you could speak my name with devotion, and still not know me?" We devils will laugh along the sidelines. Sorry for my rambling and literary license, I am just so thrilled to be in what seems a winning cause. Oh how the good shepherds of Catholicism must grieve. Poor priests struggle long and hard to save souls and yet it is to no avail. May they know despair and haunting questions: "Maybe a smarter man could impress them with his genius and bring them home by argument? Maybe a more loving man could have given them a passion for Khrist that many say they long for? Maybe if I had a voice that could excite people and make them feel that Jeezus is in the room-- maybe that would have satisfied them?" Dream on pathetic priests! Think the work is yours instead of Khrist's, and we win for sure.
With all my curses and bad wishes,
