- Peter Kreeft
Beauty is what won me. The Catholic churches all around the world give testimony to GLORY! Like Dr. Kreeft, I fell in love with the Great Whore of Babylon. Well, it sounds better the way he says it. See, in Protestantism we were taught that the Catholic Church is the Great Whore of Babylon that is talked about in the book of Revelation.
It’s not just about the beauty of Catholic church buildings as well as the beauty of Catholic art and music. It is the beauty of the liturgy, the beauty of the great minds that God has given to the Church - the whole Church that even Protestants borrow from and often add to - the beauty of Catholic theology, orthodoxy, and philosophy.
Yes, she has some very ugly marks as well. She is not completely pure and holy, but Jesus is preparing His Bride, the Church, His Bride, His Body, for future glory. She will be perfectly holy, dressed in white robes when He comes.
How will that be? He is building His Church and sanctifying her.
Protestants who believe in Jesus are not excluded, either. That is part of the beauty - her catholicity.
