By now you must have heard about the many Muslims all over the world who are having dreams.They see Jesus and He speaks to them.In this sense they are more privileged them many of us Christians who love Jesus and worship Him as the Son of God and the only Saviour of the world but have not seen Him in dreams or face to face, as have these Muslims.
However what is interesting is that when these Muslims encounter Jesus in dreams or in apparitions like the apparitions of Our Lady to many Christians all over the world, these Muslims turn to a Protestant or evangelical Christian.
I have not seen any Youtube video of Muslims, who have now changed their life style, coming to Jesus in a Catholic Church.Perhaps there are many there.But the Catholic Church prefers to keep it secret,or may be there is no more mission and evangelisation based on the four last things.Catholics are just not interested any more.Or so seem their religious leaders at the Vatican.
Where is the Catholic religious community or institution which says outside the Church there is no salvation (Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II) ? Or that Catholics are the new people of God, the Chosen People (Nostra Aeate 4,Vatican Council II) and that the Bible is Catholic and was put together by a Catholic Church Council.The Bible used by the Protestants is Catholic.The liturgy of the Protestants is Catholic. It was developed by the Pope during the time of Constantine.The Church Fathers of the Early Church and the Middle Ages were all Catholic.It was the Catholic who preserved the teachings and name of Jesus before the other Christians denominations came into history with their new doctrines and new teachings but with faith in Jesus.The Catholics have the Eucharist. They are a continuation of the Jewish religion.They have the Sacrifice in the Holy Mass, they have the tabernacle and the eternal Covenant made by the Jewish Messiah which is the final Covenant, among the many covenants God made with with Jewish People awaiting the Messiah.
Yes it is true that all one needs to be saved is to believe in Jesus and to baptised with water, like Peter told the jailer and his family. However that jailer and his family then had to live in a community and follow the teachings of Jesus.This was before the Bible was put together.They had to avoid sin or they would have to be put out of the community until they did penance and repented.It was only then they would be allowed to be Christians again. So that jailer and his family would see his children grow and live in a Catholic community and then there was salvation for them.It is important that the new converts to Christianity know this.
The Early Christians were the Early Catholics. They believed in Jesus, they had a relationship with Jesus, they would attend the Catholic Mass, they would heed St.Paul's advice and not receive the Eucharist at Mass in sin.They were the Early Catholic Church which Jesus founded and outside of which there was no salvation.To be saved one had to be a member of this community, this Church.
The Catholic Church is not proclaiming this any more. They are not going out to the non Catholics as are the Protestants, Evangelicals and Pentecostals.Even the Jehovahs Witnessess who have an inadequate understanding of Jesus are better organised as an institution then are the Catholics, whose Popes are following the Jewish Left.
It is the Protestant pastors who live at the level of the people, who are ready to risk taking in these new converts into their house and teaching them the faith. Most of the prisoners in jail for their faith in Muslim countries are pastors who do not belong to the Catholic Church.They speak about Jesus and they lead a simple life and this reminds us of what St. Louis Marie di Montfort had predicted for the future about these missionaries of the future time.Montfort also predicted that all the Mohammadens would be converted to Jesus.-Lionel Andrades
