Gun Control - Catholic Style

Another example of Roman Catholic liberalism:

An editorial in a recent 'National Catholic Reporter' describes the efforts of 'Father' Gerald Waris at a Roman church school in Kansas City, Missouri. Evidently parents at the school have expressed concerns about potential school shootings. 'Father' Waris' proposed solution to the parents was that they give him all the firearms they possess! He of course, when asked, would return them any time.

The editorial concludes:

"Parents worry, they ask questions, they wonder how such things (school shootings)could happen. And they keep the guns."

However, the real root of the problem is the unregenerate heart of the students and parents - and the false gospel of the Roman eucharist does nothing to redress this problem!

One doesn't have to be a prophet to see that this violence will continue unless people repent of their sin and turn to faith in Christ ALONE. In healing Jairus' daughter Jesus said in Luke 8:50, "FEAR NOT, BELIEVE ONLY, AND SHE SHALL BE MADE WHOLE." Jairus did not have to join the Roman church, get baptized, go to confession, receive the eucharist, ad nauseaum! Jairus "BELIEVE(d) ONLY".

Those who partake of Roman works should really not call themselves "believers" but "workers", for they are working in a sacramental system with no end in sight. The good news this Resurrection weekend is I have a choice - to work for my salvation through Rome or to rest on the completed work of Jesus Christ. I'll take the completed work of Jesus Christ.
