A man dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates and says, “We’re happy to have you, but before you settle in, I’d like to give you a tour.” They walk about heaven, passing various groups of people. They pass a group singing loudly, and St. Peter says, “Those are the Baptists.” They walk further, and another group is discussing theology, and St. Peter whispers, “Those are the Methodists.” They keep going, passing many different denominations. Finally, they reach a very high, white wall. St. Peter puts his finger to his lips and says, “Now, you have to be very quiet when we pass this group.” The man whispers back, “Why? Who are they?” St. Peter whispers, “That’s the Catholics. They think they’re the only ones here.”
Some Catholic priests and laity take exception to this joke, arguing that Catholicism is superior to other religions because its teachings represent the “fullness of the truth.” Is this not why many Protestant ministers converted to Catholicism and were reordained Catholic priests? These clergymen did not want to work for gay or lesbian bishops; they questioned the ordination of women; and they agreed with the Catholic Church’s official moral teachings on abortion and homosexuality. Today, however, many of these former Protestant ministers find themselves working for closeted homosexual bishops in a Church that:
- Blesses same-sex unions as authorized by Fiducia Supplicans;
- Fails to discipline priests, like Father Marko Rupnick, accused of raping over twenty nuns;
- Covers up for alleged predator priests like Omaha Father Dennis Hanneman, accused in a police report of inserting consecrated hosts into the vaginas of little girls;
- Gives holy communion to pro-abortion politicians who support and promote legislation that has resulted in the deaths of millions of innocent unborn children;
- Allows universities (Notre Dame, DePaul, Georgetown, Villanova, etc.) to be identified as “Catholic” that employ staff and support organizations that promote the LGBTQ agenda that would have Catholic students accept homosexual behavior as normal and moral as the life-giving love shared between a married man and woman.
