Goals of CatholicismChris continued, "Please go on, what are the specific goals of Catholicism?" "The goal of Catholicism is, first of all, evangelization — to bring the knowledge of Jesus to all peoples of the world. We also have the goal of the ongoing evangelization of those who themselves are Catholics; we have a continuing eternal conversion of the heart to bring us into union with God and follow God’s will in our life — and then we seek union with one another, living as brothers and sisters in the world." "You mentioned ‘conversion of the heart.’ Do you mean becoming a better person?" "Yes," Bishop Steinbock agreed. "Becoming a better person, overcoming hardness of heart — hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness. A Catholic struggles with this, seeks to have internal conversion. Also, Catholics wish to be able to live more in love, peace and forgiveness with their fellow man and woman. |
