A Catholic bishop was quoted today in the news (Inquirer, 22 May 2011) that you cannot be a real Catholic by being selective of what to follow and obey from among the teachings of the Church. So beware of an organization who calls themselves "Catholics" but openly supports the RH bill. A true Catholic is one who listens and follows all the teachings of the Church without conditions. Because Jesus Christ, the founder of this Church, loves us unconditionally in the first place... giving up his life to redeem us from sins.

Today's gospel challenges all Catholics: which way will you follow, Christ's Way through his clear successors the Pope and the bishops, or some other ways  that other want to create for themselves in the name of mundane pleasures? In today's gospel Jesus unequivocally tells Thomas: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
