Expert Profile: Griff Ruby

Expertise:  I focus on the "why" and "how" questions of the Faith and one`s need for the Church to overcome sin, live the life God wishes us, and to become what God wants us to be. I seek to provide insight and information such that you are then able to see for yourself the answer to your questions.

Experience in the area
Years of extensive research, thought, and prayerful meditation on many of the issues that trouble Catholics today, taught catechetical classes to teenagers and adults, answered many questions already.

Organizations
Legion of Mary, Knights of Columbus

What do you like about this subject?  I enjoy seeing the miraculous power of God working through the course of history and in the growth in the lives of those who open up to it and yield to God's standards and the Graces flowing from His Sacraments.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I hope to promote a great deal more understanding among those of differing legitimate opinions and more clarity to see through and reject those opinions and assumptions which are demonstrably false and self-destructive.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Jesus Christ came not only to die for our sins, fulfill the Jewish Law, and preach the Gospel, but also to found a Church which is united, sanctified, universal, and which has continued as the same identical thing from His time until ours and will continue to the end of time.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  The traditional Catholic community IS the Roman Catholic Church. The distinction between the Catholic Church and the Vatican institution (decreed in Lumen Gentium) allowed much of the latter to fall into spiritual darkness, throwing many Catholics and the world into their present confusion. However the Church still exists as a visible institution and remains as good a moral compass as ever.

My reading, part of the basis for my mentioning Rome, is Revelation 17:9 "seven mountains on which the woman is seated." (NRSV) Thank you.
