The Catholic Response
A great little follow-up to the “Why I hate religion but love Jesus” YouTube video I briefly commented on a couple of days ago:

The following question is asked by the artist on the YouTube video “Why I hate religion but love Jesus”:

Hmmm…well, I guess I’d probably tut and then roll my eyes.
Next, I think I’d open my Bible to Matthew’s Gospel:
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” – Matthew 5:16-18
I think I then might flip over to the Epistle of St. James:
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world – James 1:27
