Do Catholics Try to Earn Their Way to Heaven?
Is it true that Catholics don’t appreciate the role of faith in a Christian’s life, and rely too much, if not solely, upon the role of works?
In my study of Proverbs, I was astonished to discover how similar the words in Proverbs 9:1-5 are to those of Luke 14:15-24. Both of these passages seem to be a reference to the heavenly banquet. What a wonderful revelation this was to me! Once again, we see a reference in the Old Testament to Christ and we see how Christ truly is the center of the Bible and is the thread that unites the Old Testament to the New Testament. These two passages foretell of the Heavenly feast celebrated today at the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass.
Once again, I am reminded, that sadly, not all of our brothers and sisters in Christ read the Bible with the same understanding that the Catholic Church possesses. Some of our Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ do not believe the Kingdom is truly at hand, and when they see Catholics attend the Holy Mass they believe it is nothing more than a man made ritual and rule that Catholics must obey so that they may earn their way into Heaven.

1Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
2She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
3She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
4Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
5Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
15When one of them that sat at table with him, had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
17And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready.
18And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused.
19And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused.
20And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the feeble, and the blind, and the lame.
22And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
The False Doctrine of Dispensationalism
Introduction
For as many of you as were baptized in Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise Galatians 3:27-29
The Church is the New Israel for the true heirs of promise are those who belong to Christ.
Throughout history, beginning with Adam and Eve, God has gradually made his presence known to man. Despite the mysteries that make up His Kingdom and His relationship to man, God continues to reveal his glory. Sadly, however, not all of us share these same revelations. Our Jewish friends don’t see Christ as the promised Messiah, and some of our Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ do not see the Church as God’s present reign on earth. Some are waiting for the Messiah, and some are waiting for the Kingdom, but some are blessed to be living members of the family of God, sharing the divine sonship of Christ through the Sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church.
In my discussion with some Protestants, I have learned that a number of Protestants, those who refer to themselves as Dispensationalists, do not believe that all Scripture applies to them, and that God has yet to fulfill his promises to the Jewish people. Apparently, there are Christians who believe that Israel is separate from the Church, and that some are bound to the Mosaic law, while others live under the law of Grace. It is also my understanding that some Christians believe that God had intended all to be forever obedient to the law until the disobedience of the Jewish people and their rejection of Christ compelled Him to send his disciple Paul to the Gentile Nations with a message of Grace.
I was most astonished to discover that there are also those who believe that God has yet to re-establish an earthly kingdom for the Jews with Christ as King and that in this Kingdom will exist a temple where animal sacrifices will once again be resumed.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Shame
What a twisted world we live in! President Obama, a man who refuses to stand up for the rights of the weakest and most innocent members of our society, is praised as being a promoter of peace and wins the Nobel Peace Prize!
I can think of no better time than now to remind people of another recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize with the following quote.
“But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
