Mt.16:9: Making friends with dishonest wealth: make prudent use of wealth in the accumulation of spiritual treasures

Mk.10:15: “Amen, I say to you…”: This indicates that Jesus will say something very important.

Update: In remaking Jesus’ Church into a worldly synodal Church in man’s image, this synodal process is welcoming worldly values, sin, and the failure to acknowledge sin into the Church.  

While Jesus associated with sinners, He told them to sin no more (Jn.8:11). (Unfortunately, we hear nothing about this now!)

Jesus exercised forgiveness and called for conversion, true compassion, and evangelization. In contrast, the Vatican seeks tolerance, inclusion, and false compassion. Pope Francis: “we must NOT have evangelization because that is proselytization which is bad”!

Total obedience and dependence on the gospel are necessary for entry into heaven. Clergy are failing in their tasks to save souls as this does a great disservice to the people.
