\"Jesus12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at the Well<\/em> (1640 or 1641), by Guercino (1591-1666). It was Jesus<\/em> Who first said (not the Catholic Church<\/em>): \u201cthey are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.\u201d (Matthew 19:6, RSV) <\/span>[public domain \/ Wikimedia Commons<\/a>]<\/p>\n

* * * * *<\/p>\n

The bottom-line question is: \u201cdoes the Church conform to the larger society and follow all the latest trends and chic fashions, or do we present a Higher Way, a higher path?\u201d Christianity is always gonna step on some folks\u2019 toes; put \u2019em out, so to speak. That can\u2019t be helped. We can\u2019t \u201cplease\u201d everyone. Jesus said it was a narrow path and very difficult. So it\u2019s narrow<\/em>! Why should it shock or surprise anyone that various people will come up against Church moral teachings, and that it\u2019ll be difficult?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Romans 12:2 (RSV) states: \u201cDo not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillips has a wonderful paraphrase: \u201cDon\u2019t let the world squeeze you into its own mould.\u201d<\/p>\n

We can be like the Orthodox, who have caved into modernity (I would contend) by simply marrying folks a second and third time. They had already departed from apostolic and patristic teaching on divorce (in the East) by the 7th or 8th centuries.<\/p>\n

At the same time, they are widely compromised on contraception now. What once was considered as grave\u00a0sin<\/strong> by them, as well as all<\/em>\u00a0Christians of any stripe before 1930, all of a sudden becomes a perfectly permissible personal choice.<\/p>\n

That is clearly<\/em>\u00a0caving into the zeitgeist<\/em>, and not following apostolic tradition, when it is difficult to do so.<\/p>\n

The Church has always required that someone must be in full agreement with Church teaching in order to receive Holy Communion. I have written about this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why this is considered controversial<\/em> has always puzzled me. You gotta be tall (usually) to be in the NBA. You gotta be big and muscular to be in the NFL (and, as it were, also a male in both cases). Gotta know chess to be in a chess club. Gotta meet certain requirements to go to college or get a job or be in a musical group . . .<\/p>\n

Gotta be a Catholic (accept all Church teachings) to receive communion . . . .<\/p>\n

Ain\u2019t that a \u201cDUH!\u201d moment? Seems so to me . . .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

(full-time since December 2001). Formerly a campus missionary, as a Protestant, Dave was received into the Catholic Church in February 1991, by the late, well-known catechist and theologian, Fr. John A. Hardon, S. J.

Dave\u2019s apologetics and writing apostolate was the subject of a feature article in the May 2002 issue of \\\"Envoy Magazine.\\\" He served as the staff moderator at the Internet discussion forum for The Coming Home Network, from 2007-2010. Dave has been interviewed on many nationally syndicated Catholic radio shows, including \\\"Catholic Answers Live\\\" (twice), \\\"Faith and Family Live\\\" (Steve Wood), \\\"Kresta in the Afternoon,\\\" \\\"Son Rise Morning Show,\\\" \\\"Catholic Connection\\\" (Teresa Tomeo), and \\\"The Catholics Next Door.\\\" His large and popular website, \\\"Biblical Evidence for Catholicism,\\\" was online from March 1997 to March 2007, and received the 1998 Catholic Website of the Year award from \\\"Envoy Magazine.\\\" His blog of the same name (now transferred to Patheos), begun in February 2004, contains more than 1,500 papers, at least 500 debates or dialogues, and over 50 distinct \\\"index\\\" web pages. Unsolicited correspondence has indicated many hundreds of conversions (or returns) to the Catholic faith as a result, by God's grace, of these writings. Dave's conversion story was published in the bestselling book \\\"Surprised by Truth\\\" (edited by Patrick Madrid; San Diego: Basilica Press, 1994). Sophia Institute Press has published six of his books: \\\"A Biblical Defense of Catholicism\\\" (Foreword by Fr. John A. Hardon, S. J., 1996 \/ 2003), \\\"The Catholic Verses\\\" (2004), \\\"The One-Minute Apologist\\\" (2007), \\\"Bible Proofs for Catholic Truths\\\" (2009), \\\"The Quotable Newman\\\" (editor: 2012), and \\\"Proving the Catholic Faith is Biblical\\\" (2015). He is co-author (with Dr. Paul Thigpen) of the inserts for \\\"The New Catholic Answer Bible\\\" (Our Sunday Visitor: 2005), and editor for \\\"The Wisdom of Mr. Chesterton: The Very Best Quotes, Quips, and Cracks from the Pen of G. K. Chesterton\\\" (Saint Benedict Press \/ TAN Books: 2009). \\\"100 Biblical Arguments Against Sola Scriptura\\\" was published by Catholic Answers in May 2012. His \\\"Quotable Wesley\\\" compilation was published by (Protestant \/ Wesleyan publisher) Beacon Hill Press in April 2014. Several of his 49 books are bestsellers in their field. Dave maintains a popular personal Facebook page, a Facebook author page, and has a Twitter account as well. He offers almost all of his books in e-book form on his own Biblical Catholicism site (http:\/\/biblicalcatholicism.com\/), at a permanent deep discount: only $2.99 for ePub, mobi, and AZW, and $1.99 for PDF. His writing has been enthusiastically endorsed or recommended by many leading Catholic apologists, authors, and priests, including Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. Peter M. J. Stravinskas, Marcus Grodi, Patrick Madrid, Steve Ray, Tim Staples, Devin Rose, Mike Aquilina, Al Kresta, Karl Keating, Fr. Dwight Longenecker, Brandon Vogt, Marcellino D'Ambrosio, and Fr. John A.
