Roman "Food"

Since Catholics reject the bible, they have to resort to lessons from cheesy stories to "feed" their Catholic faith. One such tale was found in the March 5 issue of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Ohio newspaper, 'The Catholic Telegraph,' in an article titled, "Gift of Life a Triumph of Community of Love."

The article was about two Catholic men, one of whom donated a kidney to the other - and I'm glad this was able to take place. But what's so sad is how the Catholic mind tries to whip up spiritual teaching from this event. For example:

1. The donor said, "We all know Someone (Jesus) who donated not one but two kidneys, His liver, pancreas, lungs, etc."

2. "Just as the kidney was delivered to (the recipient),...so is the Eucharist given to us."

3. The donor also said, "Donating a kidney helped me better understand the mystery of Christ's true presence in the Eucharist..."

Comment - None needed.

The men are also convinced Mary helped them with this because the operation took place on Dec 12 - the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. In addition, the kidney recipient is a refugee from Rwanda, Africa - so Rome was able to add some "political correctness" to the story, as well.

Please pray for the conversion of more Catholics, that they might be fed by the word of God, and not by useless "lessons" as seen above.
