Jesus is the way the truth and the life.
The Good News (Gospel) is sound.
The Church (certain Cardinals and maybe the Pope) may not be.
Mutually exclusive events.
You can always be a devout Catholic regardless.
Study Our Lady of Fatima. In my opinion there is no other Marian apparition and evidence stronger.
Can you think of a better way?
Jesus was born of the Father before all ages. SO at least 15-20 billion years ago.
All things were made through Him.
He will come again in Glory to judge the living and the dead and His Kingdom will have no end.
God sees the world through Jesus' wounds.
We see the world as if reflected through a broken mirror and dirty window.
And on a final note…. Jesus leans pretyy hard to the right. Mercy is long. Justice is swift.
Many are invited, few are chosen.
And…. Mary is 100% human.
That essentially binds us to the Father Son and Holy Spirit. We are all brothers and sisters and God's children.
