US Catholic Bishops Reject the Need for Jesus Christ

US Catholic bishops have again denied the need for the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ for the full and free forgiveness of sins. This was reported in an August 13 'Boston Globe' article titled, "Catholics Reject Evangelization of Jews."

Representatives of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, led by Cardinal William Keeler of Baltimore, in "dialogue" with an organization representing Conservative and Reform rabbis, on August 12 published a document called, "Reflections on Covenant and Mission." The document says:

"A deepening Catholic appreciation of the eternal covenant between God and the Jewish people, together with a recognition of a divinely-given mission to Jews to witness to God's faithful love, lead to a conclusion that campaigns that target Jews for conversion to Christianity are not longer theologically acceptable in the Catholic Church."

Once again, the Catholic Church goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ. The very first "campaign" that Jesus sent His disciples out on was to preach to the Jews!! Jesus' specific instruction to His disciples in Matthew 10:6 was, "BUT RATHER GO TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL."

Jesus viewed Jews as, "LOST SHEEP," but the US Catholic bishops say otherwise. We have a choice - to believe Jesus, or to believe the US Catholic bishops. I'll stay with Jesus.

May the Lord grant many Catholics the grace to confess Catholicism as sin, forsake Rome forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE. Also, may many Jews see that the only blood sacrifice for their sin is the Lamb of God, Jesus of Nazareth.
