Catholicism = Deep

[Chris†opher Paul]

Man, I am reading through my fourth book of my recent Amazon order. The chapter on the Eucharist is amazing.

I didn't realize how the Catholic understanding of it is rooted so deeply in the Old Testament teachings. It all makes sense when the Bible is taken as a whole.

If our separated brethren knew about how the sacrifice of the lamb must be eaten to be valid, they would know why Jesus said we had to "chew" and "gnaw" on His flesh to have life in us from His sacrifice, etc.

And the chapter on Mary, which showed the teachings of her all throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, wow, its deep.

Good stuff!

I listed the link in my post, its "Catholic for a Reason" and it is indeed edited by Hahn, although the particular essays are from a variety of scholars.

Ah. I saw it as an underlined word, not a link. Sorry about that.

Isn't that a terrific book? We have a lay group that just completed 6 Chapters of the book and we even had Dr. Ted Sri who did the Eucharist chapter come and speak.

Enjoy!

Wow, I wish I could have been there!

sOuljah-

It's sad isn't it, what so many deny themselves and then turn around and attack what they clearly do not understand. Sometimes I could just cry tears over it. I know this drives the nails in Jesus' hands all over again.

Protestants don’t get it, we are not talking about some symbol this is our lord, their lord that they so callously attack, mock and ridicule. If they were never taught or if they don’t believe fine, but don’t attack something just because you may not believe. They should be more considerate of those that do believe because of the nature of the belief.

Yep, and it is even scarier that they ignore St Paul's warnings about not taking communion incorrectly.
