From Fr. Ray Blakes Blog Here: marymagdalen.blogspot.com/…/the-end-of-chri… I was a bit disappointed by attendance at Mass this morning, Saturday is not normally that good but I thought for the Holy Souls it might be better. It strikes me there is a lot of confusion about our end, and consequently about the 'ends' of the Church and of Jesus Christ himself. What I mean is simply; why did Jesus come, what did he achieve? His Death and Resurrection according to survey after survey are a source of confusion.

Jesus came upon the earth to accompany us humans through life, e.g., birth unto death. The meaning of Jesus's death (and apparently of his resurrrection) was effectively a therapeutic act helping us humans to live life. Jesus is with us every step of the way. Zollitisch's interpetation appears heretical to me, although I know of no negative reaction by Pope Francis.
