Catholics say hold on, wait a minute — or ought to

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Taylor Marshall goes father:

Catholicism is the religion of delayed gratification. This life is a test run to determine our eternal gratification. If we live only to have pleasure in the now, we won’t have beatitude in the future. Christ has instituted His Catholic Church to provide us with small mini-trials every day.

He who won’t hesitate is lost?
