Q: Are there? If not, why not? Isn’t the Great Commission the main mission of the Church? Where is the Catholic effort to do this? Why is there such a “Zeal Gap”?
All Zeal, No Truth
Vort-2011-12-01
Hello everyone and welcome to the Vortex where lies and falsehoods are trapped and
exposed. I’m Michael Voris.
The much esteemed and highly loved archbishop Fulton J. Sheen used to say of the
conflict between Catholicism re and Communism … we have all truth and no zeal and the
communists have all zeal and no truth.
And isn’t that just the way of things. It seems in every age and every challenge … that too
few Catholics have any zeal … or what little zeal they have is quickly dispatched at the
slightest hint of challenge or confrontation.
But when you look at the Protestant world … now there is a group with zeal. In fact … one
looks at them and is more impressed with their zeal certainly than with their truth. They
certainly don’t fit the notion of having NO truth as Sheen would say of Communists … but
they are lacking in the truth department … sometime substantially.
Now granted … there are many instances … one suspects most instances in fact … where
this is due to glaring ignorance of the TOTAL revealed truth … and where they are lacking
is in large part owing to a lack of zeal among Catholics.
Take a look at this email ad that was went to me a couple of weeks back.
Its for a conference in mid-January in Orlando called … Winning the Second Billion. The
upshot is clear enough. Evangelical Protestants claim to have converted a billion people
worldwide to Christianity and are now on schedule to start on the second billion. That
billion with a “B” by the way.
So they are having this massive conference with thousands of attendees … many of them
preachers … to put their heads together and map out how to get 5 million new “churches”
and rake in another Billion souls.
Now whether their math is spot on about having snared a billion souls for Christ is not
the point of this Vortex. I suspect their accounting methods are slightly exaggerated, but
that they are a worldwide force is beyond dispute.
Nor is the point of this Vortex to hammer out what the theological differences are
between Catholicism and this brand of Protestantism. There are many. MANY. Which
is why … in the end … this is very very troublesome.
Suffice it to say that to convince a naïve soul of a distorted and heretical view of Christ is
saddening in the extreme.
The point of this Vortex is to say … where is the Catholic effort to do this?
Yes … we hear all about The New Evangelization. This committee there has been formed
and that commission here has been established…
Are there really people in the Church establishment who wake up every day with a burning zeal to convert one BILLION souls to the Faith? Really?
