It is imperative that you reach your Catholic friends for Jesus. Why? They have the wrong Jesus. And one more time, the last Pope affirmed that:
“POPE SAYS EUCHARIST IS “CHRIST HIMSELF” (Friday Church News Notes, June 9, 2023, www.wayoflife.org, [email protected], 866-295-4143) – Speaking to an audience at the Vatican in June, Pope Francis said the Eucharist, or Mass, is not a symbol of Christ’s sacrifice; it is Christ Himself as living bread. This is Rome’s false gospel of salvation through the sacraments. Speaking to the organizing committee of the United States Eucharistic Congress that is scheduled for July 2024, the Pope said, “It’s more than a symbol; it’s the real and loving presence of the Lord. … We must recover the sense of silence, of Adoration. … as Saint John Paul II said, ‘Without the Priesthood there is no Eucharist’” (“Pope to American Catholics,” Zenit.org, June 19, 2023). This confirms official Catholic doctrine. The host (wafer) of the Mass is consecrated by a priest and becomes the very body and blood of Christ. It is eaten as Christ and is the object of worship (adoration). The Eucharistic Congress aims to “revive faith in and love for the Most Holy Eucharist.” When I visited a cloistered nunnery in Quebec some years ago, a sign at the entrance of the chapel said, “You are entering to adore the Jesus-Host.” The following is from Vatican Council II, “The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery” — “Hence the Mass, the Lord’s Supper, is at the same time and inseparably: a sacrifice in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated … For in it Christ perpetuates in an unbloody manner the sacrifice offered on the cross, offering himself to the Father for the world’s salvation through the ministry of priests” The Second Vatican Council, 1962-1965 was attended by 2,400 bishops and issued the most authoritative doctrinal pronouncements of the modern Roman Catholic Church. Its doctrines are as heretical and blasphemous as they were in the darkest ages of the Inquisition. In contrast to Rome’s doctrine, the Bible says, “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. … For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Heb. 10:10, 14).”

Taking the eucharist does not and has not ever cleansed anyone of a single sin. John 3:3 has always had the answer.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Until the nets are full,
P.S. Here is the link to a talk I did called Roman Catholicism vs. The Bible. We have received a lot of neat feedback about it. It is also a great talk to pass along to your Catholic friends. Just ask them to critique it for you.

P.P.S. Also, one of the characters in the book Paradise is a Roman Catholic. There is some helpful dialogue and other information in this book, which would be good to share with someone who is in that false religious system.
