Faz:
“Jesus' priorities were clear. He chose mercy, forgiveness and compassion over instruction, counsel and admonishment.”

False.
Another confused fazing of the words and actions of Jesus as the woman caught in adultery was commanded to “go and sin no more” clearly recognising the sin of adultery and thus instructing, counselling and admonishing clearly.

In reality Jesus founded His Catholic Church to instruct, counsel, and admonish, infusing Her with the sacraments which enable Her to forgive mercifully and compassionately those who do recognise their faults.
