Two Treatises on God and Man

About the Book

"It was Christ who said, "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I shall build My Church." However, He is seldom able to remain in His Church anymore. We have now seen Christ exiled from His Church except for a few brief moments each week due to the desire to make His Church acceptable to those who have not been given the faith its members have." "If those of us who have received the Gift of Faith permit Christ to be exiled from His Church and do not obey the laws of His Church or avail ourselves of Confession, we have misused that Gift, a Gift from Providence, for the abuse of which we will be deeply answerable. However, those who have not received the Gift of Faith might be bound only by their mature judgment and their conscience for the abuse of which they will be deeply answerable."
