Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Christ is the Source and Summit of the Catholic Church. Everything in the Church points to God. There is nothing that takes the glory for itself. All Glory to God, All the time. pax et Agape per Maria, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 [quote]I just don't understand why anyone (short of being forced to, but hey it happens) would willingly enter the Catholic Church where their focus is taken off Christ so much and focused on other things.[/quote] The focus taken off Christ??? Please give me one example of the focus being taken off of the Trinity. Some things would appear that way (if you do not have an understanding of what it is about), but most likely you just assumed that the 'focus' is taken off Christ.
