| Hung on the gibbet built for Mordecai |
Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
You lock the Kingdom of heaven before men.
You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter. ~ Matthew 23
This has always been one of my favorite Gospels as it calls to task those times when we make membership in Mother Church a more onerous task than it is. Often condition upon condition are piled up when there are no such barriers keeping the little ones from the Christ.
Once baptized, we need only meet the Precepts of the Church:
More than this, folks are just making stuff up and being a stumbling block.
