I found this new website today and I've been browsing through it. Looks like a good collection of writings.

Has anyone heard of this before?

LINK: JESUS-EUCHARISTE.ORG

That top ten heresy list heading reminded me of Dave Letterman's, though this one wasn't funny. Perhaps I should make a funny one on my blog. I don't know how to go about it thoug. lol_pound.gif

Never heard of but very interesting. Thank you for the link!

What got my attention, in addition to his philosophy articles, was that the author of the website has taken the trouble to attempt to get an Imprimatur for his website. Not something you see often for websites!

One thing that struck me was his "Baptism alone does not make you Catholic" statement (although I may have paraphrased it slightly). I'm in two minds on this and I think it may well be both/and rather than either/or. There's a blog post in my head growing on it P.gif

What do others think?

I found this short article today:

If I understand right, much of the Opus Dei spirituality is based on the Divine Filiation that we receive during Baptism, and our obligation to "become what we are." So I suppose it's a both/and. However, isn't it true that the effect of grace we got in Baptism requires our free co-operation? Therefore, perhaps we could say that just as grace builds on nature, God builds our sanctification upon our Baptism?

Anyway, Catholicism is, in general a Both/And, isn't it? Lots of synthesis in our faith.
