Theological Concern
One of the quotes attributed to Jesus in Volume Two appears to contradict Catholic doctrine. Jesus is quoted as saying "I am here in the tabernacle. Come to Me here and I will forgive all sin. I will make you as pure as if you had never sinned. My children, all in heaven are awed at the scope of this promise." The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the only ordinary way to obtain the forgiveness of grave sin is through the sacrament of reconciliation.

Famous quotes containing the words theological and/or concern:
“As liberty and intelligence have increased the people have more and more revolted against the theological dogmas that contradict common sense and wound the tenderest sensibilities of the soul.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
