I recently was arguing with a Muslim about Catholicism. He was pleased to be able to tell me that "Your church can’t be the true faith, it changes all the time

Why argue with a Muslim? Talk about the Blessed Virgin instead.

Ask your friend (hope you all are friends) to see his drivers license (which presumably will be for a car, and not “a drinker of the wind, or a ship of the desert”). If its got his photo, smile and suggest "plus ca change…: :)🙂
Catholics and non-Catholics alike now think all faiths have value and that is a great mistake.

St. Augustine loved the Illiad. Who thinks other faiths are equal to Catholicism? No one here, I am sure.

My friend, grace is always there. But God acts at a time when it’s most beneficial to us. He has the big picture and we don’t.

In addition, God cannot interfere with human freedom, even when that freedom is abused, which is often. There is what we call the passive will of God. These unfortunate things happen in our lives, not because God wants them to happen, but because he can’t stop them from happening. As much as God desires to guide all of those other people in your life along the right path, he cannot force them to walk down that path. In the end, what we see is the ripple effect of sin, often referred to as the social dimension of sin. One man’s sin can become an obstacle for another person’s progress.

Yet, God’s mercy is unceasing, almost stubborn. He continues to prick us and make us feel uncomfortable as we slip and slide away from him in order to get our attention. This is grace. Ultimately, it is we who respond or fail to do so.

Fraternally,

Br. JR, OSF 🙂
