The Elephant in the Room

Christ forgives sins. Christ came to earth to save man from the disease of his soul which is sin. That was Christ’s purpose in his life. This purpose is continued from Christ’s time through to our present time and for the future of the world through the Catholic Church. The Church forgives sins because it is the body of Christ. Only the Church can forgive sins on earth. If the Church could not forgive sins there would be no hope of eternal life. We need God because He is infinite love and goodness. We need his grace because we are sinners. We need to be loved despite being sinners. When we admit we are sinners, we admit we are not intrinsically good. It is a fact that we are sinners; it is the greatest truth of human existence. The world denies this truth, avoids it, cannot accept it, and covers it up. It tries to bury this truth under fallacies, distractions, psychology, counselling, self help, religions, philosophy, superstition, addictions, hedonism, materialism and any other infinite avoidance tactics the human mind can conjure. The world perpetuates a fairy tale which it knows that like all such tales at it’s heart is a great untruth. The fairy tale is that it will all work out and we’ll live happily ever after. But no matter how the world tries, deep down it cannot ignore the elephant in the room; sin.
