Dear Friends in Christ,

I try to take a day off, but it just does not come.  I am so excited about what is to come that I had to write it all done for all of my friends.  My family is in all different places so it is just me and the Lord today so I have a lot of quiet time to write and to not take advantage of that, I would feel it to be a sin.  I love you all and hope you get the word out that we want to change the internet and make it safe for our young children.  We do this by spreading the word of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We use the internet for good.

God just did not land and sell us a bill of goods like he did Moses.  He came on Earth and became man.  He wanted to have our feelings so he knew what it was like to be man.  Then he taught us gradually what it was like to be him and to be near him.  The teaching was gradual and over time.  We can not as a group expect people to understand what a Christian is from the get go.  There must be a time of preparation.  There must be adequate instruction.  The Holy Spirit descended on the disciples and gave them courage and understanding during what we as Christians call Pentecost.  This spirit gave them the courage to speak out against all who wished them harm.  It takes courage to be a Christian and it takes faith.

Faith however is only a part of it. To be justified one needs more then faith.  Justification, as defined by the Catholic Church in, Fundamentals of Catholicism, by K. Baker, is the process by which a person, through faith in Jesus Christ and sorrow for his sins, receives the gift of the Holy Spirit and so becomes a child of God and an heir of heaven. Pg 57.

Many Catholics are not up to speed on this process because we do not do it as a whole.  We are not professionals like our Evangelical brothers and our Mormon brothers.  Why is that?  The answer is simple.  As I read this in a book called Catholic Matters by Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, he writes:

Catholic clergy and parishes seldom conduct aggressive programs of evangelizations aimed at getting new members.  One decidedly nontheological reason for this is that most priests think that they have more people then they are able to serve.

In many major cities it is not on common for a priest to have a parish of upward to 15,000 families with only 3-4 priests to serve them if that.  So we as good Catholics are instructed to lead by example.  Where as our Protestant brethren are taught from the get go on how to be aggressive Christians.  This puts us at a disadvantage.  I am currently leading my own campaign and borrowing from the Protestants.  After all it is hard to find a place to learn how to become a Catholic Evangelist. I use the website Catholic Answers, by Karl Keating and I read his books. I also have friends who were protestant and I study the Mormon technique.  Why do I do this?

I feel that there is a lot to offer Protestants.  As Catholics we have wonderful churches that are great homes to many outstanding Christians.  We have a vast array of followers already to go, who want to give their lives to Christ and want to volunteer for a good cause.  I have a cause that I am passionate about.  I am sure Jesus is passionate about it too.  I want others to be passionate about it.  I want to share my cause with millions.  I need to be an evangelist of Christ to do this.  I know, being a political student that Obama won the last election because he solicited our young people.  I am starting a movement with those same young people.  We need to change things by using them.  How were great revolutions won?  By starting with the young, Mao understood this, Hitler understood this so did Lenin and so do I.  I will be reaching out to the young Catholics of America to change our world, to clean up the internet and to spread the Holy Spirit.

Obama fooled the young, already he is breaking promises.  He told them he would change politics for all and what does he do? He is bringing in the old guard and filling positions in his cabinet with people from old administrations.  There is no change in that.  Jesus will not disappoint.  Jesus brings change.  My American Catholics we will change things.

This week I start at UNLV in Nevada.  I hope to visit many a campus Newman Center.  Spread the word.  Join our cause.  Let us clean up the internet.

God Bless Vern Paul
