Truth is not enough....Absolute Fullness of Truth is needed

Internet Ad for the new book, The Faith

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*

Protestants—most of whom are more now apt to call themselves Evangelicals—know in their informed Christian hearts that Truth is absolute. There is a disconnect though, because of their failure to acknowledge the proximate (as opposed to approximate) source of the Fullness of Truth, the one, holy Catholic and apostolic Church. Absolute fullness is found in Jesus Christ, and absolute fullness was handed over to St. Peter, the first Pope when he was given the keys to the kingdom.

This Fullness is still shrouded in mystery, i.e., truths not fully revealed. Yet, I have no doubt that St. Peter really is standing as a shepherd at the Pearly Gate, keys mystically in hand.

St. Peter and the other Early Church fathers witnessed to this Truth, that is a Person, through the shedding of their blood.

This Truth—ultimate and absolute essential being—IS the communion of Persons of the Most Holy Trinity.

Concerning the soon to be released book The Faith, by Chuck Colson, Archbishop Chaput writes:

Colson and Fickett have written an explanation of our times, and a case for the Christian faith, that is clear, direct, passionate, elegant, and, in the end, deeply moving. For believers in Jesus Christ, this book will refresh the heart. But anyone with an honest spirit, believer or otherwise, will find light in this wonderful work.
– Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Denver

Another priest adds:

Pope John Paul II opened his encyclical on Church unity by pointing to the mingled blood of so many of today’s Christian martyrs united in their witness to the reality and saving power of Jesus Christ. This book is a generous and honest statement of the basics which martyrs held in common. It can both inform and inspire us to witness to Christ and mutually enrich one another as we cooperate with the movement of the Holy Spirit bringing us to for which Our Lord prayed.
– Fr. Francis Martin, Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit
