@@LeonieMart Saint JHN was one deep, deep dude. I mean, his writings will literally give you a headache( I tried to read " the Grammar of Assent" and all I got was a migraine. Basically I think he came to the conclusion that real acceptance of God and His love means undergoing changes so profound that we may never appreciate in this life the extent of this experience. I think.). But mercifully he wrote great poetry too. May I recommend a very enjoyable experience? "The Dream of Gerontious" was a poem he wrote that was set to music by Sir Edward Elgar. Watch and hear it here on YT. In it I think you will find a soul stirring look into the heart and mind of convert whose experience will touch your heart. Praying for you!👑🍞🍷
St. JHN is the patron saint of my household. I converted to Catholicism at 63. My son fowllowd me into the Church he is now a KOC. Together with Saint Michael Archangel, Saint Maximillian Kolbe, Saint Francis of Assisi ans a good Orthodox friend, Saint Elisabeth Feodorevna, this blessed company prays for me and my son, offers guidance and points the wayvto His Grace. Blessed freinds of Jesus, by your example, courage and holy lives, act as guides to us your brethren still on Earth as we stumble our poor way to Him. Pray for us , as Saint John Newman wrote, " Lead kindly Light" finding each day the path that leads to where He is Amen.
9:42 Medicine againts Augustine again: that holy Father believed that some non-predestined humans were easily identificable: Children who had dies without Baptism. He based all his errors in this "piece of evidence".
I doubt that not being chosen means the non-chosen are eternally rejected by God. I think that the non-chosen will spend some of their next life regretting their lack of love and holiness, (Purgatory), but of course God did not create hundreds of millions of people who will suffer eternal punishment. I very much respect the scholarship and sincerity of Cdl. Newman, but it seems he has overlooked something.
The non-chosen can't mean the souls in Purgatory - the chosen or "elect" includes everyone who is saved, so the souls in Purgatory are very much among the chosen. As to the greater number being lost, that is the traditional interpretation of the Doctors of the Church.
@@CatholicCulturePod I am a convinced and committed Catholic because I know something of the adorable goodness of God. Some how the doctrine ? of the fewness of the saved seems to be inconsistent with the adorable goodness of God. " We see through a glass darkly ".
@@noeldoyle4501 Exactly. Calvinism makes no sense. Who builds a house just to burn it down? If that is so why evangelize since the odds is that you are wasting your time? My God is not a maniac who delights in destroying those who had no hand in their destiny. If I believed in predestination I wouldn't bother with a God worse than Moloch. English Protestant pride demanded that they could claim they were "chosen" and therefore born better than the humble Irish living in huts barefoot Too sad.
Thankyou for this. Lots to ponder on. Praying for the graces of humility, contrition and ongoing conversion of heart to persevere in the race 🙏🏼

You think. But do you know for sure?

@@noeldoyle4501 This talk is from his Anglican phase. Orthodox Christians pray for the souls of atheists and suicides too.
