I read your post with great interest bewilderment, let me get this straight and I quote ---This does not mean we are not tolerant but it means we love our brothers/sisters of other religions that we want to share the truth with them that they too may experience the glorious and awesome presence of the Lord by the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Sad to say that many Catholics have not experienced the power and glory of the Holy Spirit in their lives and just " sleep and remain in slumber"! AWAKE AND -- What exactly do you mean when you say that there are Catholics in the Church who have not experienced the Power and the Demonstration of the Holy Spirit and remain asleep and in slumber ? You mean there is an elite group of people privy to such "WISDOM" which the others have not attained. How exactly did you "achieve this status". Now to the lesser mortals of other religions, do you actually believe that millions of Hindus, Muslims and believers of other religions will never be saved because they are not shaken by the" Winds of Faith". And only a REVIVAL whatever that means will SAVE them ? Would you not call this attitude, utterly lacking in HUMILITY, which the Catholic Church has always preached. Incidentally what are these "Others" to be saved from ? The other religions all preach LOVE, TRUTH and everything that is good what we need is love and RESPECT for all other religions.Love and Respect for people untainted by religious connotations. Respect for beliefs of which we do not know or understand anything about and therefore should not question. Frankly when you say ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BELEIVE THAT OUR SINS ARE WASHED IN THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST it makes me wonder what exactly what do you mean !! As we all know God is ALWAYS THERE, no matter what religion you follow, he is Good and Kind and He will see to it that he never fails us, whatever our Religion. If we follow the principles of Truth, Respect to all fellow men we cannot go wrong. Ever.
