St. Catherine of Siena says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come to tell you the reasons why disbelief of the Messages and the Mission itself exist in the world today. These are spiritual pride, spiritual envy and a failure to search out and to recognize the truth.”

“Spiritual pride is a smug attitude that believes only in himself – his inspirations. In short, the spiritually proud is self-righteous.”

“The spiritually envious are those who want to be as holy – as inspired and as believed in – as someone else. These are like ‘wannabe' visionaries and mystics.”

“Those who fail to search out and to recognize the truth are the ones given over to rash judgment (which is false discernment), compromise and sometimes even calumnies when they propagate error.”
