St. Augustine: You cannot have God as Father without the Catholic Church as Mother
A brilliant exposition of timeless Christian belief by St. Augustine. Since Christ and His Bride, the Catholic Church, have become One Body, they can never be separated. There can be no later claims or justification of “divorce”, because they are forever one. “What God has joined, let no man tear asunder” (Matt. 19:6).

Here are St. Augustine’s words:

“Let us love our Lord God, let us love His Church: Him as a Father, Her as a Mother; Him as a Lord, Her as His Handmaid, as we are ourselves the Handmaid’s sons. But this marriage is held together by a bond of great love. No man offends the one, and wins favor of the other.

Let no man say, ‘I go indeed to the idols, I consult possessed ones and fortune tellers, yet I abandon not God’s Church, I am a Catholic’. While you hold to your Mother, you have offended your Father.

Another says, ‘Far be it from me; I consult no sorcerer, I seek out no possessed one, I never ask advice by sacrilegious divination, I go not to worship idols, I bow not before stones, though I am in the party of Donatus [heresy/schism]’.

What does it profit you not to have offended your Father, if he avenges your offended Mother? What does it serve you, if you acknowledge the Lord, honor God, preach His name, acknowledge His Son, confess that He sits by His right hand, while you blaspheme His Church? Does not the analogy of human marriages convince you? […]

Hold then, most beloved, hold all with one mind to God the Father, and the Church our Mother. Celebrate with temperance the birthdays of the Saints, that we may imitate those who have gone before us, and that they who pray for you may rejoice over you, that ‘the blessing of the Lord may abide on you forevermore’. Amen and Amen”.
St. Augustine, “Exposition of Psalm 89”

Protestant hypocrisy

Protestants following the pagans😅😂

It's intriguing that the Federal Reserve was established just seven months before the start of World War I. It almost seems as if they anticipated the impending conflict.
