Arguing Catholics

I see a lot of Christians arguing lately about many things. Especially things that are not only out of our control, but things we have no business sticking our noses into. Who's right? Who's wrong? Do you honestly think that arguing vehemently and trying to get another to change their mind to align with your opinions will change anything?

The one thing that Jesus always prayed for is that we all be one as He is in the Father & the Father in Him. How arrogant is he who argues who is bad and who is good while disparaging their reputation and office? Whether true or false, is this not the sin of detraction?!


We all want to believe we're on the right track and the path that leads to heaven. And this is a valid concern, however, as St. Bernadette has said, our job is not to convince; but simply inform.

The items that I see most Catholics Arguing about today are nothing that can be altered or changed by them. Yet they seem to want to fight to the death about these things that only God Himself has control over. 
WHY?

Should we not take the two most important sentences in the prayer that Jesus gave us and pray without ceasing: "THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN." 

Please stop the arguing over things that are God's alone. Nothing can happen unless Jesus permits it and if He does, it's either in His Plan or He'll bring about a greater good from it.


Arguing among ourselves and trying to change people's minds only fuels the devil's delight as he thoroughly enjoys all our contention for each other. 


Did Jesus not promise that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church?

Trust God and surrender to His Holy Will in all things ... Be patient and wait upon the Lord. He will never fail us!
