Vaccinated Against Christianity | Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | July 15, 2025

Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection for Tuesday, July 15, 2025 - Memorial of Saint Bonaventure, Bishop and Doctor of the Church

Are you bored out of your mind with God? Have you been vaccinated against Christianity by small doses of church culture? Today's Catholic mass readings reveal the shocking danger of spiritual privilege creating spiritual numbness.

Jesus condemns Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum - cities that witnessed His miracles but remained unchanged. His devastating verdict: pagan cities would have responded better than these religiously privileged towns. Catholic biblical commentary shows how familiarity with divine truth can breed contempt rather than transformation.

Moses's story from Exodus demonstrates the same principle - palace privilege didn't prepare him for real ministry. Only after forty years in the wilderness was he ready to encounter God at the burning bush. Sometimes spiritual advantages become spiritual obstacles when they create comfortable distance from divine encounter.

This Catholic daily reflection confronts the uncomfortable truth that growing up in church can make you more resistant to God, not closer to Him. The closer you get to Christian culture, the further you might drift from Christ. Biblical knowledge doesn't automatically equal spiritual maturity when it creates religious immunity instead of spiritual transformation.

Perfect for Catholics who feel spiritually numb despite religious backgrounds, Christians questioning whether their church upbringing has helped or hindered their relationship with God, or anyone recognizing they've become an expert on God rather than experiencing God.

The video includes complete scripture readings and a challenging reflection that asks whether Christianity is changing you or just decorating you. Discover why the most dangerous place spiritually isn't open rebellion but comfortable familiarity with religious routine.
