Troubled by the feeling
that something was deeply wrong, Rev. Douglas Sweet left behind his obligations as an active Catholic priest in exchange for
pursuing the underlying reason for his unrest. Leading him into three years of isolation, his passion drove him to discover
that the essential truth of Jesus cross is buried beneath the misperceptions of ancient time and interpretations. As a church:
We have missed
the fundamental reason for his coming.
We have lost sight of the
kingdom to which he pointed.
We have misunderstood the gates that he
opened and why he died.
In effect, the
underlying strength of the cross has been held to silence. The mission of the Son was to bring love forward; that is what
changes the world. However, opposed to living in the solution, for two-thousand years we have lived with our focus set on
fixing the problems of sin and evil. As a result, opposed to realizing the full conquest of the Son, our precepts and practices
have been the root cause for perpetuating fear and spiritual oppression.
Readers’ comments:
“I
am inspired by knowing you. Your message is complex and simple at the same time.”
“I believe that one of the products of fear is to seek the approval of others. I believe that many Catholics,
and former Catholics, struggle with this as we seek God’s approval by doing ‘things’ as opposed to embracing
the fact that we are loved and precious in His sight.”
“Your
book will touch so many hearts and open their awareness of the Truth!”
“The
fears you address are so pervasive, and your approach to dispelling them makes so much sense. It’s about time this type
of information comes from someone who knows the church from the inside out!”
“Uplifting
and empowering…”
