MichaelFilo Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 [quote name='DominaNostra' date='Sep 14 2004, 11:22 AM'] Doesn't the Church say that God is not happy with us if we are not Catholic or something like that? or, isn't there a council that says that you have to be Catholic or otherwise you are not pleasing God? I think that was something in the Renaissance or Middle Ages. I also was told that anyone can please God if they are doing what they think is right, so I don't know really. I think that the Devil is happy if people aren't doing God's will, and if it is God's will to be Catholic, then I think that people who are not being Catholic are probably making the Devil happy. Does that make sense? [/quote] No, God would perfer that all become Catholic, but getting closer to God by understanding him as best as we can is ultimetly the goal. I learned much about God with the Blessed Sacrament, and I learn of His forgiveness everytime I go to confession, and there is much more to learn in all the sacraments. Adoration is one of the most powerful tools, I do believe. The fact of the matter is, however, that God likes it the closer we come, and the Catholic Church is as close as we can come, but it may take a few steps up. Ash said it in the best way possible.
