… and that you’ve ‘observed them thousands of times with you naked eye’. Are you able to travel between the physical and spiritual world? By what means?

Also, how did the snake (evil) get into the garden of eden? Who created evil and put it there?

God is the creator of everything, including the knowledge of good and evil. Are you suggesting this is in error, that God didn’t give us “every herb bearing seed” to us for meat? [Gen 1:29].

Is this the part of scriptures you say you understand better than the all of Catholicism? Is this the part of scriptures you understand better than Christ himself?

Do you set yourself above everyone else?

I have been able to see and hear the spirit world.

It was Lucifer that brought evil into this world.

How do you see the spirit world? Does it require herbs or other additives?

Who created Lucifer?

Not what I asked, but okay… who created Lucifer and let him into the world that god created?

That is a letter _to_ the church, not from it.

That letter doesn’t confirm anything except your idea of a “cite” is different from most of ours. That letter came from [this goofy website.](http://www.conchiglia.us/UK/UK_index.html) and is about as mainstream Catholic as a Sausage McMuffin communion wafer.

The Vatican has also delicately backed away from the Shroud of Turin, using the term “icon” rather than “relic” to show caution.

re the Virgin of Guadalupe, ordinary paint pigments and binders, on a soft-woven “canvas” surface, in a conventional style, with visible brush-marks. A delightful piece of cultural art, but as miracles go, a bit of a flop.

(Amused by the story of Hillary Clinton viewing it, leaving flowers in honor, and asking, conversationally, “Who painted it?”)

Certainly bring people into church.

Pork sausage is unclean … but you can make it out of tofu.

God created you. Does He force you to do evil?

What makes you think **Rick** does evil? That is a condescending, even insulting, thing to say.

Will I start burning if I go into a church? Or only if I go into a Catholic church?

Indeed, it is a letter to the Pope. But it is not a from a “goofy website.” Your biased opinion need not apply.

I have not just fallen off the turnip truck. Everyone of you who speak out against God and His Son Jesus are doing evil. Your work leads people to hell.

My work? I’m retired. I sit and play on the computer all day. I never knew that was doing evil.

The fires of hell are indicative of a ruinous soul in need of salvation.
