Sal@work: Mixing it up again
I'm beginning to think I should give up talking to this guy about religion for Lent...
Spirit-filled Christian Guy: "The Catholic Church is just a social club. They don't really know Jesus."
Sal: "The Catholic Church is part of the mystical body of Christ. How can you presume to judge one billion people?"
SFCG: "The Eucharist is just a symbol."
Sal: "No, it's the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
SFCG: "The Sacraments are just rituals - they don't have any meaning."
Sal: "Christ gave us the Sacraments as the unfailing sources of His grace and mercy."
SFCG: "You can't put God in a box."
Sal: "You just did! You said the Eucharist is only a symbol and the Sacraments are meaningless - you 'put God in a box' by stating He isn't really present through those means."
He wants to give me some tapes and listen to some "testimony" by former Catholics. I told him I wasn't interested. Before we parted I asked how the Holy Spirit could lead so many people in so many different ways. "You can't put God in a box," he replied. Touché.
