In your second part I do not understand what you mean but I will give it a go. You can be wronged by someone who is actually doing the right thing. As I said before the world is gray.
If the world is
gray as you call it, then there is no moral certainty in the world. The analogies one could think of to demonstrate the fallacy in this way of thinking is too numerous but I invite my fellow Catholics to chime in and put some up here.
I would dare say that anyone who thinks the world is only gray, must not be trusted. Who could trust a banker with their money if they think the world is only gray? Who could trust a teacher with their children if they think the world is only gray? Who then, in their right mind, could trust a ‘CHURCH’ - that only sees gray?
THE Truth - is black and white. Truth really does exist in the universe. We base our moral judgement and the decisions we make on eternal Truths - summarized by the Ten Commandments. The world is a place that tries to distort Truth - turning it into ‘gray’. Laws are being passed and protected in this world that are ‘gray’.
To bring it into perspective, calling the world ‘gray’ is the fruit of protestantism - . This lack of clarity is caused by not having the luxury of, or faith in any institution to give you the Truth. There is no one to teach black and white. If there is no right and wrong, then you have moral relativism. What’s true for one may not necessarily be true for another. This is what a CHURCH is for. Lack of moral certainty is what causes anarchy and what allows the enemy to gain the upper hand. Because if a man says that a girlfriend is his and another man says that the girl is his, there will be a fight. If a nation claims the West Bank as theirs and another says it’s theirs, there will be a war. In both cases, there is no gray. There is a truth. Knowing the truth would prevent the anarchy. This is what the MISSION of the Church COMBATS! When people join a church, they wish to escape the grays of the world - they wish to be told the black and white truth. They are exhausted by the anarchy of the gray.
It all brings into clarity WHY Jesus prayed what he prayed in John 17.
The High Priestly Prayer
17:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. [1] 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them [2] in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, [3] that they also may be sanctified [4] in truth.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
He sought unity - VISIBLE unity - and not just through unity of spirit as the protestants like to claim. They like to think that there is no VISIBLE church - because then they can cover the physical evidence of where it started. But it flies in the face of logic because human beings are body and spirit tightly interwoven to glorify God the Father as our Creator and Provider. God the Father, being the good Father He is, has through His Son given us a VISIBLE Church - and empowered it to teach the Truth. Would a good Father allow his children to play roulette and place his bet on the wheel of which church teaches the fullness of His Truth? There was only one Church - the Catholic Church. For 1500 years, the Catholic Church existed to infallibly teach this Truth in matters of faith and morals. For the last 500 years, some sects of protestantism has sought to systematically destroy this Teacher of Truth with fabrications and half truths - ‘grays’ if you will.
Be not afraid, Catholics. The Church Militant lives strong. She will shine forth like the Bride of Christ that She is in that day of reckoning. Be steadfast in your Faith - the Faith given to you by Christ Himself and was handed down through the ages from the Apostles to their successors. You have the fullness of Truth - there is no gray for you who are loyal to the Holy Father and the Magisterium.
God bless you,
