​"My Lord and my God." ​

Something gotta give, but not the Catholic Church.

Let's get to the heart of it... In order to push "forward" to get with the times; Modernists want to change anything and everything they can. They have been successful so far in changing the Church’s liturgy, it’s traditions and even managed to ignore it’s laws, but that can only go so far. They are not happy until the Church is fundamentally something else – something that it is not. But something is in their way. What is it?

They have hit the final roadblock and there is no getting pass it unless they change it. It is the fundamental laws, the dogmas, the absolute truths of the Catholic Church. They want to change it, but they cannot. They have been trying to change the truth, while remaining silent about the truth. Faithful Catholics are seeing this happening and so now have called them out… there is no way around this… It will be a test for each and every member of the Church to follow that they love.

The Modernists want a new church for their times, they want to change the Catholic Church into this new church that it is not. The Church belongs to Christ, and Christ does not change.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” ~ Hebrews 13:8

Catechism of the Catholic Church: The Church's ultimate trial

675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.

Repeat: What does the Church teach?

​​For a very long time now the Catholic Church have chosen to go "soft" on the Catholic teachings in the hope it  would not to offend anyone; That there was "no right or wrong answers"; that we have to be nice and get along while compromising our faith. Even now we are being told half truths and many fall for it. Like "the Church has the fullness of  the truth" while implying it was "ok" to remain outside the Church, they just don't have the full truth; that there is even other paths to Heaven. Christ  would  not be pleased.

Due to the softness in the teaching of the faith, Catholics had to, or choose to make  up their own beliefs and would consider it as being Catholic, since they are Catholics. They would also follow other Church leaders who they themselves do not follow Church teachings. Just take a look at the "Universal Church" today... unfortunately not  so much.

How do we fix this, what  can we do, or at the very least what can the individual do? When faced  with uncertainty or  peer pressure, or even if things  sound to good to be truth... Please repeat after me: "What does the Church teach?"

Yes, what does the Church teach? We only need to look to the unchanging truth of the Church, it's tradition, what our saints have said and taught us. St Paul even said: "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter." ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:15

If we claim to be Catholics we must keep on turning to the truth of the Church... we must keep in the back of our minds... "What does the Church teach?"

The Greatest Commandment Equals Love Thy Neighbour?

 Is the First and greatest commandment - Love God equal to the second commandment - love your neighbour as yourself?

Let us find out what the Catholic Church teaches ... Note: The text I highlight are my comments.

Catechism of the Catholic Church
2196 In response to the question about the first of the commandments, Jesus says: "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbour as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these. (Source)  [Here the CCC states there is two commandments and in no terms says that we are to love God and to love ourselves equally with God. God clearly states we are to love Him with much more devotion.]

CatholicCulture.org 
These two commands really do sum up everything. For love of neighbor means to will good to another for the other's sake. Love of God cannot be precisely that, for we cannot will good to God. But we do know that Scripture pictures Him as pleased when we obey, displeased when we do not. He cannot gain anything from our obedience, but He is pleased for two reasons: 1) His Holiness loves everything that is morally good: goodness says creatures must obey their Creator, children their Father; 2) In His generosity He wills to give good to us, but that is in vain if we are not open to receive. (Source) [Loving our neighbour is NOT the same as loving God. Our neighbour loving us is the same thing. We are commanded to love neighbour and God.]

Matthew 25:40
“Whatsoever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did it for Me.” [Many people do good to others, however it is not the same as doing good to others for God. Even then do we  not need  to adore, worship and love God directly? Why have two commandments?]

1 John 4:19-21
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister
 is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. [By loving God we must "ALSO" love our neighbours. It is NOT the same as love as for God.]

Luke 14:26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple." [This verse says it all: God comes first. (We are always second compared to God.)]

Matthew 10: 35-38
For I have come to turn “ ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. ​[God first!]
​
There are two thing that can be observed 1) We must love God and we must love one another as ourselves. These two commandments are inseparable. 2) There is the first (the greatest) and second commandments; it is NOT 'this' and 'this' commandment. We do not love man equally as we love God, everything has it's place even in love.

Let's make this case: However much we love God in others, we must love God much more than others, much more than ourselves. What about the Eucharistic God? All  our heart, all  our soul, all our mind, all our strength.
