I was really struck by this line in the second reading of the Office of Readings (from A Catechetical Instruction by Saint Cyril of Jerusalem) this morning:
For if you believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and taken up to paradise by him, just as he brought the thief there.
I wonder how the über-Catholics who disparage the 1999 Lutheran-Catholic Joint Declaration on Justification feel about St. Cyril saying that? We may have to dig him up and burn him at the stake for heresy!

Reminds me of the time we were told that an anniversary celebration was to take place at "St. Cyril the Methodist Church". It turned out that what they meant was "Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church". (I know, different Cyril!)
You have to understand who the thief is.
Fr. Charles Ledderer, The Dakotas, USA you are impersonating a Catholic priest. Your identity is fictitious. There are people on here that are believing you. I am asking you not to trick people anymore.
