More on the So-called "Gospel" Of Judas

Yesterday, the Latin American Bishops hammered the so-called "gospel" of Judas. (Which we shouldn't even call a gospel because it isn't). I don't intend to rehash this Gnostic text and the ridiculous media attention it is getting. What I do want to point out is a section of their statement that states:

"“The enemies of the Church are drudging up old arguments, apocryphal writings in order to confuse the people, and if people do not study their faith, they will get confused," said Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez of Guadalajara, Mexico. The cardinal said, "If Catholics adequately study their faith, nothing would be able to shake it, not even their enemies." He also called on the faithful to not be fooled by “apocryphal writings that only carry with them a host of lies and fables."

We need to study our faith so that we don't become confused. The Catholic faith is not a blind faith but an informed one. We bring to bear all of our faculties to know, love, and serve Christ.

These enemies of the Church are using the ignorance of the Catholic faithful to lead them astray. They over-sensationalize stories in order to cause doubt. Unfortunately, most don't have the knowledge to defend and refute. It seems to me as time goes on it takes more and more effort and inconvenience, so-called, to remain a faithful Catholic. Those who do not make the sacrifice and effort will be seduced by the false wisdom of the age. On the other hand,"“If Catholics adequately study their faith, nothing would be able to shake it, not even their enemies."

The world needs the witness of prayerful, informed Catholics. Remember, nothing can overcome the truth!
