I'm not particularly frustrated either, just a few niggling little irritations from time to time, but the primary reason I returned to the Catholic Church was the very Real Presence of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. I couldn't find Him elsewhere. So, as Peter said (with whom I identify, being impulsive, outspoken, and very prone to putting my foot in it,) "Where else could we go, Lord?" Compared to the richness of our church, everything else seems like a salad bar.

yes it is! ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE YOU! DO NOT WORSHIP MARY OR IDOLS!!!!!! IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS! what a wonderful God did you know that inside a walnut it looks exactly like a brain inside and avocado looks like a pregnant womb and takes 9 months to grow and the nervous system and synapses of the brain look like the theorized model of the universe, thunder looks like the nerves system a clear sign of a Loving Creator! and there is no one more Loving then Jesus who died for our sins in our place!

First off, Mary is in the Bible. Second, Catholics don't worship Mary, we pray to her for intercession. And third, youtube isn't in the Bible, so you are probably going to hell for using it.

Jesus said Love not hate! Jesus said first clean the inside of the cup then the outside will become clean also! Jesus said first take out the log from your eye then you will see well enough to point out the spec in your friends eye! how terrible that the one pointing finger is doing the same thing behind closed doors! seek Jesus and humbly point out the scripture when your follow brother or sister is in sin! do not think your better then others!

Jesus wants a personal relationship with you and Jesus will forgive every sin and His Grace gives us power over sin!!!! so if you are still living in homosexual sin and think it is ok then read The Bible it clearly says that no homosexuals will inherit the kingdom of Heaven! beg Jesus to set you free! and seek Jesus and Jesus ONLY because Bible tells not to worship idols and mary!!!!!!!!!! get real or eternal hell is waiting!!!!!
