2. In the 4 th century, the Catholic Church, under the Divine guidance of the Holy Spirit, compiled a number of books, Gospels and letters of the Apostles to make up the Catholic Bible. About 1,000 year later, a number of man-made religions took the Catholic Bible and changed it according to their personal desires, most religions removing a number of Books from both, the Old and the New Testaments. Only the Catholic Church possesses the original texts.

22. The Sacred Tradition has an important place in the Catholic Church.

At a later time, Jesus’ revelation was also passed on by the Bible (Sacred Scripture).

As sad as it is to say, the majority love their family and way of life more than Jesus, thus rejecting His invitation to come home.
