I still remember those good ole days of knowing who was going to Hell and who wasn’t. God was always waiting around the corner, just waiting to pounce on some unsuspecting soul for breaking a minor infraction of the Divine Law. God had a bad temper back then and Mary was kept busy trying to hold back his wrath.

The authenticists have completely ignored Scripture that points out that God has written the Law in our hearts and denying that is denying a part of ourselves. They want to hold on to the illusion that their idea of Truth is unchanging, but if they study Church history, they will soon see that the Church has always been made up of the hierarchy and lay people, and that “we” have always been on a journey to uncover the “Truth” and that there has never been a time when we had rested on our laurels, basking in the glorious rays of Truth, finally all ours.
