When our conclusions regarding regarding troubling passages in the NT contradict the clear, positive
statements out
of the mouth
of Jesus in John 3:16, 18, 5:24, and elsewhere, regarding eternal life being a
simple matter
of faith we need to keep seeking until our understanding
of those passages agrees with that He said.
Whether it was deliberate or unintentional, I would hope in the future the author
of this article would use better judgment or take more time to research the Catholic teaching on the Eucharist (to at least put Sebastian's
statement in context) before quoting a
statement that is clearly an error to any Catholic that has a sense
of reverence («frozen holy wine transformed into the blood
of Christ» on popsicle sticks) but could mislead those with
simple faith or those who are unfamiliar to the true Catholic teaching.
