By Fr. John A. Perricone, Crisis Magazine - As soon as any soul seeks another path other than the one set out by the Catholic Church, he soon finds himself in a spiral of deceptions. St. John of the Cross tartly replied to those given to this temptation: (it) outrages Our Lord, that you not merely glance at your crucifix. God would have a right to say, “Here you have my Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased. Hear Him, and do not seek for new modes of teaching. Because in Him, and by Him, I have told you and revealed all that you can desire and ask me,—giving Him to you as a brother, as a master, as a friend, as a ransom and as a reward.”
