Prayer for the Nativity<br />
<br />
<br />
Jesus Christ, radiant centre of glory,<br />
<br />
image of our God, the invisible Father,<br />
<br />
revealer of his eternal designs,<br />
<br />
prince of peace;<br />
<br />
father of the world to come. . .<br />
<br />
For our sake he took the likeness of a slave,<br />
<br />
becoming flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary,<br />
<br />
without intervention of man;<br />
<br />
for our sake, wrapped in swaddling bands<br />
<br />
and laid in a manger<br />
<br />
adored by the shepherds<br />
<br />
and hymned by the angelic powers, who sang:<br />
<br />
Glory to God in the heavens<br />
<br />
and on earth peace and good to men.<br />
<br />
Make us worthy, Lord, to celebrate and to conclude in peace the feast which magnifies the rising of your light,<br />
<br />
by avoiding empty words, working with justice, fleeing from the passions and raising up the spirit above earthly goods.<br />
<br />
Bless your Church, formed long ago<br />
<br />
to be united with yourself through your life giving blood.<br />
<br />
Come to the aid of your faithful shepherds,<br />
<br />
of the priests and the teachers of your Gospel.<br />
<br />
Bless your faithful whose only hope is in your mercy; Christian souls, the sick, those who are tormented in spirit and those who have asked us to pray for them.<br />
<br />
Have pity, in your infinite clemency, and preserve us in fitness to receive the future, endless good things.<br />
<br />
We celebrate your glorious nativity<br />
<br />
with the Father who sent you for our redemption,<br />
<br />
with the life-giving Spirit,<br />
<br />
now and for ever and through all ages. Amen.<br />
<br />

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">(<a href="http://www.macquirelatory.com/pdf%202/lucifer_lodge.pdf" style="color: #ffaa00;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000dd;">In preceding chapters</span></a>) all point to a cabal of child molesting and sexually abusive Catholic priests, at least some of whom were involved with various forms of Satanism.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This cabal of Luciferian priests is a very real presence in the world, and considering the support these perverted curates received form the Church hierarchy, <b><a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/profecias/esp_profecia10.htm" style="color: #ffaa00;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000dd;">Malachi Martin</span></a></b>'s claim that they constitute an organized fraternity of Satanists, which he referred to as "Lucifer's Lodge," proves true. It functions with the secret support of the church hierarchy on all levels.<br /><br />Martin alluded to this child-molesting cult several times in his writing.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">His assertions are worth reviewing at length, considering that much of what he claimed to be true has recently come to light in the popular press:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Most frighteningly for John Paul, he had come up against the irremovable presence of a malign strength in his own Vatican and in certain bishops' chanceries. It was what knowledgeable Churchmen called the 'superforce.'</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">[The] incidence of Satanic pedophilia - rites and practices - was already documented among certain bishops and priests as widely dispersed as Turin, in Italy, and South Carolina, in the United States. The cultic acts of Satanic pedophilia are considered by professionals to be the culmination of the Fallen Archangel's rites...<sup>1</sup></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Suddenly it became inarguable that now, during this papacy, the Roman Catholic organization carried a permanent presence,</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<ul>
<li><div align="left" style="margin: -2px 2px -2px 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">of clerics who worshipped Satan and liked it</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left" style="margin: -2px 2px -2px 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">of bishops and priests who sodomized boys and each other</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left" style="margin: -2px 2px -2px 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">of nuns who performed the "Black Rites" of Wicca, and who lived in lesbian relationships,</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">... every day, including Sundays and Holy Days, acts of heresy and blasphemy and outrage and indifference were committed and permitted at holy Altars by men who had been called to be priests.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Sacrilegious actions and rites were not only performed on <i>Christ's</i> Altars, but had the connivance or at least the tacit permission of certain Cardinals, archbishops, and bishops... In total number they were a minority - anything from one to ten percent of Church personnel. But of that minority, many occupied astoundingly high positions or rank.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">[The] facts that brought the Pope to a new level of suffering were mainly two:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<ul>
<li><div align="left" style="margin: -2px 2px -2px 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The systematic organizational links - the network, in other words - that had been established between certain clerical homosexual groups and Satanist covens.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left" style="margin: -2px 2px -2px 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">And the inordinate power and influence of that network.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin: -2px 2px -2px 6px;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">[Martin quoted: <a href="http://www.theharrowing.com/martin.html" style="color: #ffaa00;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000dd;">www.theharrowing.com/martin.html</span></a>]</span></b></div>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">In at least three major cities, members of the clergy have at their disposal at least one pedophiliac coven peopled and maintained exclusively by and for the clergy. Women religious can find a lesbian coven maintained in a similar way.<sup>2</sup><br /><br />In a 1996 banned interview for the <i>American Family Association</i>, Malachi Martin also reported that 1 to 2% of priests in the Roman Catholic Church are practicing Satanists who are involved with some form of ritualized sexual abuse (AFA: August 3, 1996).</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">He drew this statistic from a 1996 secret church study that he received from a Vatican source.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Some of the contents of this study were leaked to the media and have been made public. Vatican officials have never voluntarily released any of their studies concerning the sexual lives of their priests and nuns. All documents were anonymously leaked by well-meaning higher-ups in the Roman Catholic Church.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">There are those good Catholics who remain within the Church and leak damning evidence against the Vatican. Without them the injustice of Catholic clergy abuse would continue, and scores of more children and women would suffer at the hands of vile clerics.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />Martin also mentions the existence of "Mother Chapels" in the banned AFA video, and states that they were Satanist covens operating secretly in the Catholic Church. The existence of the Black Room and Devil's Room in the previous case studies points to this assertion as fact. There are in reality various ad hoc ritual chambers used by Catholic priests for the ritual abuse of children.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />What Martin called <i>Lucifer's Lodge or the Superforce</i> refers to a <i>small</i> cabal within the Vatican that controls certain aspects of church policy and has set guidelines allowing for wide-scale sexual abuse by Catholic clerics - a small number of whom are involved in satanic ritual abuse. This faction is merely a component of a greater conspiracy that operates within and outside of the Roman Catholic Church.<br /><br />It must be pointed out that the vast majority of Catholic clergy never break their vows of celibacy. Furthermore, the average Catholic cleric who sexually abuses helpless victims is not an overt Satanist or a Luciferian in that they do not worship or mimic the <i>Prince of this World.</i></span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">However, a very small number of priests do engage in SRA and have caused a huge amount of damage while enjoying the full backing of their respective bishops who bent over backwards to enable them to continue ritually abusing innocent boys and women.<br /><br />The policy of silence and cover - up promoted by the Vatican is mind - boggling. The vast amount of data which the Vatican collected concerning the sexual activity of clergy makes it clear that the Pope and Curia were well aware of how wide-spread and common the sexual abuse problem was in the Church. It did nothing to redress the situation but continued with a policy of cover - up and silence.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">It seems that the only reason the Vatican ordered these secret sex studies was to get a global picture of where they stood and to develop informed strategies for hiding the problem in the future. Never was the welfare of the victims of sexual abuse taken into consideration, nor was the question of broken chastity vows apparently of any real concern.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Although the Church has not released all the statistics it possesses on clerical abuse, the contents that were leaked from <i><a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_vatican.htm" style="color: #ffaa00;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000dd;">the Vatican</span></a> sex abuse dossier are <b>startling</b>.</i><br /> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><b><span style="color: #990012; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">The Sexual Abuse of Nuns</span></b></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"According to the 1996 survey of nuns in the United States (which was intentionally never published by the Church but was leaked by some Vatican insider), it is reported that a minimum of 34,000 Catholic nuns (about 40% of all American nuns) [CORRECT NUMBERS??] claim to have been sexually abused.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Three of every four of these nuns claimed they were sexually victimized by a priest, nun, or other religious person. Two out of five nuns who stated they were sexually abused claimed that their exploitation included some form of genital contact. All nuns who claimed repeated sexual exploitation reported that they were pressured by religious superiors for sexual favors."<sup>3</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"The 1994 Vatican study by Sister Maura O'Donohue, a physician and Catholic nun, linked the alleged sexual abuse of nuns in Africa to the spread of AIDS.</span></div>
<blockquote>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">'Sadly, the sisters also report that priests have sexually exploited them because they too had come to fear contamination with HIV by sexual contact' with other women, O'Donohue stated."<sup>4</sup></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"In November 2001, Pope John Paul II publicly apologized for the sexual abuse of nuns by priests. But critics observed that the papal apology was one paragraph long and buried within a 120 - page message ("Catholics in Oceania" of all obscure topics) that covered a wide range of issues."<sup>5</sup></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Organizations, including the National Coalition of American Nuns, are calling to the Catholic Church for accountability.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Their call includes specific allegations against the American Church, for example:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"In the United States, Church authorities shielded a parish priest from prosecution by returning him to the Philippines so that he could elude a lawsuit filed by a woman who as a teenager was sexually abused by him."<sup> 6</sup></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">After seven years of public reports and internal church memos, the truth about the sexual abuse of women by priests is starting to surface.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Articles are beginning to appear in scattered and comparatively low-circulation publications, like Jane Eisner's article in the June 16 Center Daily Times, "Abused Nuns Get Scant Attention."</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The reports all ask a version of the same question: When the 300 American bishops recently met in Dallas to formulate policy on priests who sexually abuse children, why was the abuse of women not mentioned?<br /><br />This situation concerning the poor treatment of nuns at the hands of pervert priest demonstrates that the actions of Father <b>Robert Meffan</b> are far more common than people believe. The extent of the sexual abuse of nuns is huge, and it is not too unlikely that much of this abuse involves the Luciferian sex magic that Meffan was permitted to practice by Cardinal <b>Bernard Law</b>.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The <a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_sociopol_mediacontrol.htm" style="color: #ffaa00;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000dd;">media black-out</span></a> of the sexual abuse of women by clerics in both ritual and non-ritual cases is a great disgrace. The plight of male children who suffer under abusive priests is, of course, horrifying and should receive wide media coverage.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">However, the sexual abuse of nuns and women by clerics is a far larger problem.<br /><br /> </span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990012; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><b>The Massachusetts AG's Report on Priest Pedophilia</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /><br />The Attorney General of Massachusetts, <b>Thomas Reilly</b>, called the clergy sexual abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Boston "the greatest tragedy to befall children - ever" in Massachusetts, one that involved far more priests and many more victims than 18 months of traumatic public disclosures have suggested.<sup>7</sup><br /> </span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Reilly, in releasing the report on a 16 - month investigation, said that over six decades at least 237 priests and 13 other church employees were accused of molesting at least 789 minors. Reilly said the actual number of victims may be much higher, and probably exceeds 1,000.<sup>8</sup><br /><br />But Reilly also said that, though he wished it were otherwise, he could find no criminal statute under which he could prosecute church leaders, including Cardinal Law.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Nonetheless, he concluded that Law, his two predecessors as archbishop, and numerous subordinate bishops facilitated the years of abuse, protecting priests time and again while leaving children vulnerable.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"The mistreatment of children was so massive and so prolonged that it borders on the unbelievable," Reilly said. Church leaders, he said, "in effect, sacrificed children for many, many years." <sup>9</sup></span></div>

The answer is <b>yes</b>.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Christian history is full of various heresies that have involved occult sex rituals as part of their theology and spiritual practice. In an earlier chapter, the existence of an "underground sewer" (a metaphor borrowed from <i>Saint Thomas Aquinas</i>) was examined wherein the existence of various church-run brothels was proven.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">As mentioned, it is within this underground sewer that various sexual occult heretical practices could have survived right under the nose of the church. There may even have been various cults that continued to exist within this covert world of sex and religion. One heresy that may have survived could explain much of the occultism and sexual abuse rocking the Church in our day.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">To understand this heresy, part of which has been covered in earlier chapters, we must trace its roots back to the dawn of Christianity.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"As the Christian Faith began to make inroads in the Roman Empire, it infuriated Jews who saw this new faith as a Hebrew heresy.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Part of their reaction to the success of this spin-off faith was overt hostility by Jews toward Christians. As a means to lampoon Christians, Jewish scholars began spreading rumors that <i>Jesus</i> was sexually promiscuous and unfaithful to his wife.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This rumor appears in the third century Talmud, a Jewish book of learning and philosophy used to train rabbis. The Talmud claims that <i>Jesus</i> was the bastard son of whore and was an evil sorcerer and vile (i.e., sexually deviant) man."<sup>15</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"This belief that <i>Jesus</i> was corrupt and sexually active was seen again in the writings of Celsus, a Pagan philosopher who lived in the second century AD. Celsus stated that <i>Jesus</i> had many wives and mistresses and that that was why he was hated during his life. Consequently, this belief moved from rumors repeated by Jewish scholars into the mainstream of the Roman Empire."<sup>16</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"It was not until St. Clement of Alexandria, also in the second century, that any Christian leader overtly denied that <i>Jesus</i> <i>Christ</i> was married. Clement believed that a married <i>Jesus</i> was inconsistent with his role as the Savior of the World. Not that marriage would have disqualified him, but rather that his public ministry was too demanding to allow Him the opportunity for marriage.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Consequently, Clement's rejection of a married <i>Jesus</i> clearly illustrates that many early Christians believed <i>Jesus</i> had a wife. However, this was not a matter of Church doctrine but fell more along the lines of a theological opinion."<sup>17</sup></span></div>

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">At the same time that this notion of a married and sexually promiscuous <i>Jesus</i> was current, another strange religious belief was fermenting in the ancient world - the belief that certain individuals were the Second Coming of <i>Jesus</i>.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This conviction has been neglected by scholars, and few, if any, historians or theologians have afforded it much examination. It is a larger phenomenon in the annals of Western history than one would commonly believe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">As will be seen, some of these false Messiahs (I use this term to denote only those who claimed to be <i><i>Jesus</i> <i>Christ</i></i>) were also extremely active sexually and magical in their theology, suggesting that they may have been influenced by the Talmudic view of <i><i>Christ</i></i>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"Around the time of Constantine's reign a Messiah named Moses of Crete arose, and soon amassed a large following.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Moses of Crete assembled his legion of followers on a beach front and promised these fully armored soldiers that he would part the waters and allow them to travel across the floor of the ocean.

<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Over two hundred years later St. Gregory of Tours recounts the story of the Messiah of Gevaudon.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">In AD 589 a man clothed in animal skins began professing to be <i>Christ</i>... and preached among the poor. He offered magical healing services as part of his ministry and began to attract huge crowds. Soon his congregation swelled to over 3,000 people, comprised mostly of illiterate peasants - but, reports Gregory, he also had devout followers among highly educated priests and religious.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">As the 'Savior' moved through France many towns actually capitulated and acknowledged him as '<i>Christ</i>,' most likely to avoid confrontation with his huge number of supporters, who followed him in droves.<sup>18</sup><br /><br />"Upon approaching the town of Le Puy this <i>God</i>/Man sent naked male followers ahead to convert the local Catholic bishop. These nude Apostles turned somersaults and danced their way into the bishop's court. The prelate considered them to be possessed and saw nothing but trouble coming.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Messiah of Gevaudon was also the first false <i>Christ</i> reported to be sexually active. Gregory states that 'with him he took a woman who pretended to be his sister whom he called Mary.' The church officials would have none of this and sent assassins to stab this fake <i>Christ</i> to death and send him to next world.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">After his passing, Gregory states that many of his followers considered him to be authentic and even believed that his consort (or sister) Mary was divine, reporting that she was worshiped by his followers. Gregory further asserts that he found himself debating with the followers of the Messiah of Gevaudon many years after the 'Savior's' death, thus proving that this cult survived for quite some time."<sup>19</sup><br /><br />"Around AD H44 another Messiah appeared named Eon de Stella (Age of Heaven), who began his ministry in Northern France. Eon had a flair for organizing and, after declaring himself the 'Son of <i>God</i> and Judge of the World,' formed his own church with priests and bishops. Eon's followers consisted mostly of poor folk who divided their time between foraging in the forest for food and hearing their Savior preach on the nature of his own divinity.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Fearing a rival church, the local Catholic bishop of Rouven captured Eon de Stella and imprisoned him. As a means to see if this Son of Man could live solely by spiritual means, the bishop denied him food and Eon de Stella soon died of starvation.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">His priests and bishops were burnt at the stake for their belief in Eon's divinity, although nothing is recorded concerning what became of his many poor followers."<sup>20</sup></span></div>

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The most famous of the Medieval false Messiahs was Tanchelm of Antwerp, who started out as a courtier in the service of the King of Flanders during the early twelfth century.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">After abandoning his career as a diplomat, Tanchelm sported a monk's robe, transformed himself into a freelance preacher, and began ministering to peasants. This strategy of going "straight to the people" proved effective, as Tanchelm soon amassed a huge following.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">He assembled twelve Apostles, one of whom was a woman he called Mary, and began collecting huge sums from his followers by commanding them to stop tithing to the Church of Rome and start giving him a small portion of the savings.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"With this new wealth, Tanchelm gave up his monk's robe and began living in the style of a king. He had the finest clothes, luxurious homes, and the admiration of his fanatical followers. In a surreal incident, Tanchelm proclaimed that he was betrothed to the Virgin Mary. In an elaborate marriage ceremony, Tanchelm married a statue of the Blessed Mother and his followers showered the new couple with their own jewelry.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">One can only speculate as to whether or not this union was consummated. The Catholic Church could do little about Tanchelm, as his following was huge and he was protected by zealous devotees. The Church resorted to an old trick - they had Tanchelm assassinated by a priest who was allowed to approach him, and he died of a quick knife thrust.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Thus, the <i>Christ</i> of Antwerp suffered the same fate as the Messiah of Gevaudon did almost 500 years earlier."<sup>21</sup><br /><br />"It is clear that the ancient notion of a married <i>Jesus</i> accented the beliefs of at least some of these false Messiahs. But was there any movement that solidified this odd notion and carried it over from the Middle Ages to modern times? Amazingly, the answer is yes. A religious movement called the Brethren of the Free Spirit emerged just after the year AD i200 and preached some very pertinent theological concepts.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This heresy declared that <i>God</i> is within us all and that the Church of Rome is unnecessary for salvation. The Brethren contended that every man and woman is, in effect, his or her own '<i>Christ</i>,' with no need of any <i>God</i>. As one can imagine, the Vatican had little use or tolerance for such a movement and those who preached the doctrines of the Brethren of the Free Spirit were persecuted by Catholic bishops throughout Europe.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The movement was forced to go underground, where its teachings became even stranger."<sup>22</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"The Brethren believed themselves divine - each individual was a 'Messiah' - and combined this with the conception that the original Messiah was married and sexually active. Their 'gospel' contended that after the Resurrection, <i><i>Jesus</i> <i>Christ</i></i> had sexual intercourse with Mary Magdalene and that He taught a form of sex magic.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">They also had even more disturbing beliefs - that incest was permissible and even spiritual; that homosexuality was normal and even a method of enlightenment; that parents should watch their own children being sexually abused, etc."<sup>23</sup> (One cannot help thinking of Paul Shanley's odd teachings.)</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"A statement by one of the Brethren (called Beghards) in Germany reads as follows: 'And when they go to confession and come together and he preaches to them, he takes the one who is most beautiful among them and does to her all according to his will, and they extinguish the light and fall one upon the other, a man upon a man and woman upon a women, just as it comes about. Everyone must see with his own eyes how his wife and daughter is abused by others, for they assert that one can commit sin below his girdle (waist).'"<sup>24</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"In the fourteenth century the Black Death devastated Europe and gave the Brethren of the Free Spirit an opportunity to spread their strange gospel in peace. The decimation of the secular and church authorities left a void open for the Brethren to fill. For a short time they dominated the spiritual lives of various cities and villages in France and Germany.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Brethren allied themselves with the anti-clerical Luciferians - a sect of Devil Worshipers who contended that <i>God</i> had obtained Heaven by revolution. They revised the Lord's Prayer to read 'Our Father who Art in Heaven... if He is in Heaven it is by force and injustice.'"<sup>25</sup><br /><br />"The Luciferians' primary belief was that the rule of <i>God</i> should be usurped by Lucifer, whom they worshiped in their debased liturgy. The Brethren of the Free Spirit and the Luciferians soon merged into a single heretical sect and roamed Europe spreading their devilish doctrine. It was during this period that bas-relief sculptures depicting humans kneeling before the Devil and adoring the Fallen Angel began to appear in various churches and cathedrals throughout France. These frescos were not installed by Roman Catholics but rather by the Brethren and their ideological cohorts."<sup>26</sup><br /><br />"Some of the Brethren formed roving gangs that looted villages and towns, oftentimes killing noblemen and Catholic clergy weakened by the plague. The bubonic bacterium spread quickly via rodents and annihilated entire regions throughout the continent and British Isles. This left no one alive to defend the few survivors from these murderous companies.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Survivors of the plague where sometimes killed by an advance team called the Order of the Mortus, that burned all bodies they encountered, living or dead, as a means to weaken the spread of the plague and protect the advancing plunderers from infection."<sup>27</sup></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"The most famous of these Luciferian adventurers was named Werner of Urslingen.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">During this period's worst wave of devastation, between AD 1350 and 1400, there was a mini-Dark Age bought about by the Black Death.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"Before this bitter age, all artistic representations of Lucifer depicted the Fallen Archangel tumbling from Heaven or being subdued or crushed by such heavenly figures as Saint Michael or the Virgin Mother. After the bubonic plague reached its apex (c. AD 1350), the Devil began to be represented in churches as a powerful figure being worship by human beings.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Images of same sex encounters also began to appear in church bas-reliefs. This demonstrates that the Brethren controlled certain edifices and performed Luciferian ceremonies in Houses of <i>God</i>."<sup>29</sup><br /><br />"Scholar Philip Zeigler examined this strange period and stated, 'the terrors of the Black Death drove men to seek a more intense, a more personal relationship with <i>God</i>, who thus scourged him; it led him out of the formal paths of religion and, by a short remove, tumbled him into the darkest pit of Satanism.' Consequently, the Luciferians gained many converts owing to the chaos and fatalities bought about by the plague. <sup>30</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />When the Black Death started to subside and the Church of Rome began to reassert its influence, members of the Luciferian Brethren of the Free Spirit were bought to justice. Although the Inquisition harmed many innocent victims, such as village herbalists, whom they mistook for Luciferians, one positive consequence of this ecclesiastical court was the suppression of the Brethren.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Female members of the sect, called Beguines, attested to their intent to mimic Lucifer's primordial rebellion and his attempt to become <i>God</i>. Although contemporary scholarship is wary of accepting the records of the Inquisition, which they see as biased and inaccurate, the Luciferian intent of the Free Spirit sect can be confirmed by one of this cult's surviving documents.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"The Roman Catholic Church tried hard to destroy this strange sect. When the Church retook the Cathedral of Albi, which had fallen into the hands of the Brethren, they discovered that the heretics had carved a fresco of sodomites engaged in intercourse. As with all the Brethren's diabolic art, this work was likely used as a teaching device.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The various fiendish frescos would most certainly have taken a prominent place in these houses of worship, for example, on the altar, when the Brethren of the Free Spirit were in power circa AD 1350 - 1400. As the Black Death receded and the Vatican regained control of its sacred edifices, the Catholic curates redesigned the artwork and put these diabolical representations in a lesser place in the churches as a symbol of <i>Christ</i>'s retaking of His church.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">It was more expedient for the prelates to show Christian figures dominating the infernal images in the artwork as a means to make it perfectly clear that the Pope of Rome was once again in power."<sup>32</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"The Church's degree of success in dismantling this cult is unclear. However, it is certain that around 1550 another Messiah appeared in Germany, teaching the same doctrines as the Brethren of the Free Spirit. This false Messiah's name was Klaus Lugwig, and he formed a church that he called the 'Blood Friends,' proclaiming himself the Son of <i>God</i>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Mormons, as illustrated in the chapter on brainwashing and SRA, continued this belief in the 1830s and added to it the belief that they are the blood descendants of <i>Jesus</i> and Mary Magdalene.

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality the Church of Rome sought to eradicate the followers of this belief, and those who held similar notions, by every means possible. Even the most evil of popes kept the doctrines of the See of Peter intact and fought heterodoxy even though they were personally immoral.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This is not to say that there were not people within the Catholic Church, such as the followers of Jacob Frank, who did hold strange and heretical views that mimicked the teachings of the Brethren of the Free Spirit.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">In Medieval times only the Freemasons had the skill to create the sort of elaborate stonework and art which now decked the heretical churches and cathedrals. It is not unreasonable to conclude that some branch of the Freemasons was converted to the heretical beliefs of the Brethren and other Luciferian sects in France.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Although the Church tried to suppress the heretical Brethren, their beliefs kept re-emerging in Western civilization. Perhaps it remained alive in an oral tradition passed down secretly from generation to generation. This seems quite logical, considering the lack of literacy and of documents before the invention of the printing press.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">How otherwise could such similar convictions keep recurring, unless they were passed down orally from the time of the Brethren's reign in France in the mid - fourteenth century? Even the literate would not have had access to Inquisition records and surviving sect tracts, which would be the only written history of this heretical group.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">However, even were it only a case of revival based on written records, no one can deny the damage done by devotees of this odd belief system.<br /><br />We saw in the chapter on Fr. Meffan that recently leaked Church records show that this sick cleric was initiated into a Messiah cult by an unidentified figure called "the mystic," who revealed to Meffan that he was the "<i>Christ</i> of the Second Coming."</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">It was further suggested that this mystic may have been somehow connected to the cult founded by Jacob Frank - the false Messiah who convinced the Habsburgs that he was <i>Jesus</i> <i>Christ</i>. Perhaps there was a direct link from Frank to Meffan. No one can deny that the Messianic ideas and rituals of Frank and Meffan are virtually identical.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">But how could such a connection have survived from the time of Frank in Austria, in 1791, to Meffan who operated his cult in the USA in the 1960s? Frank's daughter Eva propagated her father's teachings well into the early 1800s, but was there any other extension of the Frankist cult? Astonishingly, the answer is yes.<br /><br />Frankism not only survived, but thrived in the upper echelons of European culture.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">It must be constantly remembered that whether this set of heretical principles came down through a direct line, or re-emerged as a revival based on written records, becomes almost a moot point when one considers the great damage such sacrilegious beliefs and practices have caused to scores of victims over the past 1,500 years.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />However, there is no reason not to think that Frank's followers did not covertly continued his theology while they assumed positions of high power in Europe. Perhaps they quietly practiced their Frankism until they saw a chance to hijack the Church of Rome into conforming to Frank's original plan. Dimont mentions that these Frankists were most likely the harbingers of liberal trends in Europe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Their chance at finally moving into full control of <i>the Petrine Office</i> came after World War II, when liberalism began to become popular among Catholic prelates.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />The Second Vatican Council, held in the mid-1960s, brought a new liberal agenda into the Church. Strangely enough, the Church sought reconciliation with Freemasonry, which had been deemed an enemy of Catholicism by several Popes. Along with this openness, a directive to protect Frankist-type priests like Robert Meffan and James D. Foley came as a direct result of the Council.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Petrine Office's outreach to Freemasonic circles came in the form of a Masonic ceremony held in the Vatican sometime in 1963 by Catholic clergy who had joined the fraternity despite the fact that it was against Church law. This was permitted as part of the liberalism the Council promoted.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Malachi Martin mentions this rite in his final book <a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/profecias/esp_profecia10.htm#Windswept_House" style="color: #ffaa00;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000dd;">Windswept House</span></a> (1996).</span></div>

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Pope <b>Paul VI</b> made a shadowy reference to this ceremony in 1972, when he publicly stated,</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<blockquote>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">We have the impression that through some cracks in the wall the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of <i>God</i>: it is doubt, uncertainty, questioning, dissatisfaction, confrontation...</span></div>

<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">We thought that after the Council a day of sunshine would have dawned for the history of the Church. What dawned, instead, was a day of clouds and storms, of darkness, of searching and uncertainties.<sup>39</sup></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"If one considers how some Catholic cardinals embraced the Freemasons, Pope Paul's impression seems valid. One such prelate was Cardinal Terrence Cooke of New York. Addressing over 3,000 Masons in NYC in 1980, he stated, "I know of your firm belief in the Supreme Being, the Great Architect of the Universe, and of the holy writings appropriate to the religion of your members, and I salute you for your loyalty to these ancient values."<sup>40</sup><br /><br />"Cardinal Cooke cow-towed to Masonry's most frightening heresy - the worship of Lucifer, which, as Albert Pike wrote, was the ultimate concern of the Lodge. Cooke's comments were permeated with occult meaning. In fact, the Masonic Lodge's 'Supreme Architect of the Universe' is none other than Lucifer, who conceals himself in Lodge rituals with the names of such sinister beings as Baphomet and Abaddon, as well as in other Freema-sonic camouflage."<sup>41</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"This concession and alliance with the Masonic Lodge exploded in i982 when an elaborate money-laundering scheme orchestrated by the Vatican Bank, the P-2 Freemasonic Lodge, and elements of the Mafia was exposed by Italian authorities. The repercussions of this cabal resulted in the ritual murder of Vatican banker Roberto Calvi in London.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The investigation into the killing of Calvi has recently been reopened by British authorities. This blatant exposure of the Vatican/Masonic cabal caused Church officials to restate its ban on Catholics joining the Lodge in i985."<sup>42</sup></span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />"Although the Church reinstated its ban against Catholics becoming Freemasons, several prelates maintained strong links to the Lodge.

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The other major concession made by the Second Vatican Council involves what Malachi Martin called "Lucifer's Lodge" - the cult of Luciferian and Satanist priests who operated covertly in the Church with the protection of Catholic prelates.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Satanist Catholic priests like <b>Sean Fortune</b> and <b>Bernard J. Lane</b> were practicing a form of Luciferian religion even though they did not seek to be worshiped as <i>Christ</i>. Indeed, they performed what Martin referred to as "the culmination of the Fallen Angel's rites" - i.e., the rape of male children. In this diabolical scenario the child becomes a substitute for <i>Christ</i>.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Satanist priest destroys the innocence of his victim as an attack upon the innocence of <i>Christ</i>. In this sense the male child victim becomes a proxy for the symbolic destruction of <i>God</i> - a clearly Luciferian practice. Luciferian and Satanist priests are merely different sides of the same diabolic coin, with the Satanists practicing what is considered by this cult to be a somewhat higher form of Devil worship.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />The Church policy concerning the protection of this cult was written by Cardinal <b>Alfredo Ottaviani</b> in 1962 and was intended to be a secret internal Vatican document to be read only by bishops and cardinals of the Church of Rome.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">A copy of this document was leaked by a Vatican insider to CBS News, which reported the following:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The document, once "stored in the secret archives" of the Vatican, focuses on crimes initiated as part of the confessional relationship and what it calls the "worst crime": "sexual assault committed by a priest" or "attempted by him with youths of either sex or with brute animals."</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Bishops are instructed to pursue these cases "in the most secretive way... restrained by a perpetual silence... and everyone (including the alleged victim)... is to observe the strictest secret, which is commonly regarded as a secret of the Holy Office... under the penalty of excommunication." Larry Drivon, a lawyer who represents alleged victims, said, "This document is significant because it's a blueprint for deception."</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Drivon said this proves what he has alleged on behalf of victims in priest-abuse lawsuits: that the church engaged in a crime - racketeering. "It's an instruction manual on how to deceive and how to protect pedophiles," Drivon said. "And exactly how to avoid the truth coming out."<sup>44</sup></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Once CBS reported on the existence of this secret document, Catholic prelates began back-peddling, claiming the document was restricted to sex crimes committed in confession (i.e., priests soliciting sex during the Catholic sacrament of confession).</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">They claimed it had nothing to do with church policy concerning child-molesting priests. However, they never explained how brute animals fit into the equation (remember, Paul Shanley stated that it is healthy for children and animals to have sex).</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">But one must ask whether any Satanist priests were protected by a bishop under this policy? The answer is <b>yes</b>.<br /><br />Irish Times journalist <i>Alison O'Connor</i> reports in her book Message from Heaven (2000) that when Bishop Comisky was initially exposed for protecting the Satanist Father Sean Fortune in 1998, he claimed that he could take no effective action in the matter because the situations involved matters of confession and that he was bound by church policy to remain silent on the matter.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Comisky was, in effect, appealing to the 1962 Ottaviani document and letting his superiors in Rome know that he was following their dictates concerning pervert priests.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Keep in mind that Comisky made this statement years before the document was leaked. This tactic worked, as Comisky was given a reprieve for several years until the BBC exposed the extent to which he protected Fortune and allowed scores more boys to be molested by the priest, after which the bishop was forced to resign.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />This leads to an uncanny statistic concerning the priest abuse fiasco. In a report filed on Feb. 27, 2004, Boston Globe journalist Kevin Cullen reported:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Most of the sexual abuse reported to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston over the last half century took place between 1965 and 1982, and more than one-third of the archdiocesan priests accused of sexual abuse in that period were ordained between 1960 and 1969, raising more questions than answers about how and why abuse peaked in that era.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />Among the priests, victims, advocates, and clinicians interviewed, some suggest that the priests responsible for the bulk of abuse came of age in a more permissive era, when authority was being challenged at all levels and when the sexual revolution emboldened those who were attracted to children and teenagers.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />Others say that seminaries - especially St. John Seminary in Brighton, which is run by the Boston Archdiocese - did a poor job of screening out potential abusers.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />Still others say it was a simply a matter of demographics: the numbers of priests who sexually abused minors were highest when the total number of priests serving in the archdiocese was highest, and the number dwindled with the drop in priests and the growing awareness in the wider society of the dangers of the sexual abuse of children.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Cullen's observation really brings home the fact that the Papal policy enacted at the Second Vatican Council set the stage for Lucifer's Lodge to take over the Boston Archdiocese and the rest of the Roman Catholic Church.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">By 1982 the seminaries were so packed with gays and pedophiles that potential priests quickly fled their priestly formation. The Luciferians who ran the seminaries would harass and ridicule those who refused to engage in homosexual activity or tolerate pedophile priests. [IS THIS SUBSTANTIATED??]<br /><br />A case in point is when Cardinal Law recommended that Rev. George Berthold be given a teaching position at a Southern seminary, even though Berthold was dismissed as Dean of Students from St. John's Seminary Boston for attempting to initiate a 19-year-old seminarian into a secret gay cult consisting of priests and seminarians.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Law claimed Berthold had a spotless record in Boston even when removing him for predatory homosexual activity after students repeatedly complained. (Boston Globe May 15, 2002).<sup>46</sup> [Many similar examples are chronicled in Michael Rose's Goodbye, Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church (2002)].<br /><br />The Catholic branch of the underground sewer survived in Frankist liberal ideas held by clerics on the fringes of the Roman Catholic Church, and was what Malachi Martin called "Lucifer's Lodge."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This peripheral movement had most likely existed within the Church since the time of Jacob Frank.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />Lucifer's Lodge may have exploited the frenzy promoted by this book as a means to divert attention from their own ritual abuse of children.<br /><br />When the first accusations against child care workers at the McMartin pre-school erupted in California, it was the American Martyrs Catholic Church that spearheaded and organized much of the hype and hysteria that overtook the region.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">This led author <b>Paul Eberle</b> to write that,</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"the Church was very accommodating with the lynch mob" (and he pointed out that most of the accusing parents were members of the American Martyrs Church. They were strongly urged by the Church to file charges - however absurd - against the clearly innocent child care workers.)</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Meanwhile, pedophile priests quietly molested children in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Diocese of Orange County with the full knowledge of the two Chanceries, both quite near where the American Martyrs Church and the McMartin School were located.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">While the McMartin family faced a witch trial and the American Martyrs Church kept the media hysteria in full swing, Father Michael Stephen Baker and Father Carlos Rene Rodriguez raped children without fear of being hampered by the civil authorities. They were two of more than 52 priests in the Los Angeles/ Orange County area accused of sexually molesting children.<br /><br />Strangely, the Bishop of Orange County at the time of the McMartin trial was the Ven. <b>William Johnson</b> - former pastor of the American Martyrs Church. Johnson was appointed bishop in i976 and remained in this position until his death in i986. While his former parish members prolonged the Satanic Panic that overtook Southern California, Johnson was quietly shifting child molesting priests around his diocese.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">In 1976 Johnson hired Father <b>Siegfried F. Widera</b> to work in the Orange County Diocese even though he knew this curate had been removed from a parish in Wisconsin for raping children. Widera continued to molest children with the full knowledge of Johnson until 1985, when too many complaints flooded the diocesan office and Widera was transferred out of state.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />The McMartin case shifted public and especially media attention off the Catholic Church and gave Johnson the leeway to protect Widera and other sexually deviant priests. His former parish fueled the flames of the McMartin trial as a smoke screen while Lucifer's Lodge went about its vile business in Southern California. It is hard to believe that all of the connecting factors could be a matter of pure coincidence.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />The other major Satanic Panic case took place in Malden, Massachusetts at the Fells Acre Pre-school. It must be recalled that Fr. Bernard J. Lane, who operated the Alpha Omega House in Littleton, Massachusetts, had strong ties to the city of Malden. Lane was assigned to Malden Catholic High School and opened his first treatment center for drug addicted youths in Malden.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">According to a Boston Globe report by <b>Matt Carroll</b>, filed on March 25, 2002, the Alpha Omega House was actually headquartered in Malden - just a short walk from the Fells Acre Pre-school - under a nonprofit secular charity called Adolescent Counseling in Development, Inc. (ACD) - founded by Bernard J. Lane and others.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Even after Lane was removed from the Alpha Omega House by state officials, he remained on the board of ACD. This non-profit continued to operate until 1988, when it was officially taken over by the Archdiocese of Boston and changed its name to Life Resources, Inc., which is currently being sued by victims of Lane.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />Lane's replacement at Alpha Omega House was Father Rev. <b>C. Melvin Surette</b>, who was later accused of molesting children at Alpha Omega. Even more disturbing are the charges filed against Dr. Scott Ward, M.D., a psychiatrist hired by ACD to work at the Alpha Omega House.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Several of the Alpha Omega boys later accused Ward of molesting them, and after he left Massachusetts and moved to Philadelphia, Ward later faced charges for allegedly abusing a teenage boy in his new state. It seems that Dr. Ward employed some form of mind control or brainwashing technique on his victims similar to the methods used on Elizabeth Smart.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">According to another Boston Globe article filed on May 27, 2002, Dr. Ward actually called up one of the boys whom he allegedly sexually victimized in Massachusetts and asked him to speak as a character witness at his trial for child rape in Pennsylvania. Perhaps Ward had planted some hypnotic trigger code in the victim so that he would respond in favorable ways about him if questioned by the police. As a psychiatrist, Ward would have known how to implant and activate such a controlled response.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />While the <i>Amirault Family</i> was arraigned at the Malden Court House and was eventually tried and sent to prison, the ACD quietly operated under Lane's guidance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Many of the parents of the alleged victims at the Fells Acre School were Catholics who belonged to the local parish church where Lane once served. As parents and social workers forced children to concoct stories concerning a "secret magic room" where children were sexually abused, the ACD staff calmly sat around the corner, knowing full well that Lane actually took young boys to a real ritual chamber called the Black Room.<br /><br />The fact that the Catholic Church had a shadowy hand in both the McMartin and Fells Acre cases strongly points to the reality of a Church-generated diversion tactic to direct attention away from child molesting priests and onto innocent child care workers. Malachi Martin was correct in his assertion that Lucifer's Lodge exists within the Church of Rome. Unfortunately, there are no quick answers as to how to deal with this horrible state of affairs.</span></div>

<a href="http://theapocalypsethebookoftherevelation.blogspot.com/">The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation</a><br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<strong>The Revelation of The Lord God Jesus Christ</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">The Book of <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">St. John</st1:place></st1:city> the Apostle and Evangelist of the Revelation Given Him by the Risen Lord Jesus Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">THE APOCALYPSE OF ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST<br />{WHO IS THE LAST PROPHET OF THE BIBLE UNTIL SAINT ENOCH AND SAINT ELIJAH RETURN AT THE CONSUMMATION OF DAYS}</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;">The Apocalypse is a revelation of things that were, are and will be. We are actually witnessing some of the events foretold in this book, but many still lie in the future. It is Christ who commands John to write to the seven churches, opens the seven seals, reveals the sufferings of the saints, opens the little book, overcomes the beast, reigns during the period of the first resurrection, judges the dead, both great and small, according to their works at His Second Coming, rules over all things from the beginning, presides over all the changing scenes of earth’s history, and is the King of kings and Lord of lords.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">The book presents Christ as the Coming One; it reveals the dealings of Him who came, and who is to come. It opens with the solemn hope that the Coming One will come soon, and closes with the impressive prediction that the Coming One will come quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">The book is one of hope, but also one of warning; its aim is to assure the Church of the advent of her Lord in victory. The precise time of this victory lies hidden with God, but it is certain, although the crown will not be won without a struggle. Heaven will be stormed and carried away through suffering and conflict. And all who keep the words of this book will take part in the conflict and share in the victory.The conflict is presented under the form of symbols. It is not easy to give a full interpretation of all the types, but the general symbols are not difficult to understand. <st1:city st="on">Jerusalem</st1:city> stands as the type of the good cause, and this is the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">Church</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on">Christ</st1:placename></st1:place>. <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Babylon</st1:place></st1:city> appears as the type of the evil cause, and this is the world power. The heavenly <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city> has the assistance of divine power. The earthly <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Babylon</st1:place></st1:city> has the help of evil powers, the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. The scenes in the great conflict arrange themselves around these types of good and of evil. The numbers, the seals, the trumpets and the bowls are phases in the development and consummation of the conflict.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">John has arranged the scenes in a sevenfold structure; even in the subordinate visions he keeps to this arrangement. Commentators, however, are not agreed in marking off the limits of each structure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">The book was written in Greek by <st1:city st="on">St. John</st1:city> the Evangelist, on the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">island</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on">Patmos</st1:placename></st1:place>, about the year. 96 A.D.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Note on parallel passages and commentary. The parallel passages are based on the full concordance thereof relating to, from the Council of Trent; the commentary is late 1940’s Catholic from the full consensus of the Church Fathers on the seven within seven structure of the book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Also note that the book at the same time “opens from the middle” so to speak. Just like a megilloth (Hebrew for scroll). The first eleven chapters (1 – 11) which culminate in the general judgement – Rev. 11:18 – 19<br />And the nations were angry: and thy wrath is come. And the time of the dead, that they should be judged and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and great: and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted the earth.<br />And the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">temple</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on">God</st1:placename></st1:place> was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and an earthquake and great hail. (DRV)<br />And the second eleven chapters (12 – 22) which culminate in the general judgement (Rev. 20:11 – 14) and the New Heaven and New Earth (Rev. 21, 22)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Both the first and second eleven chapters begin from the time of Christ’s Incarnation but include the fact that He is Immortal and the Creator of Heaven and Earth. See: Rev. 1:4 – 6 John to the seven churches which are in <st1:place st="on">Asia</st1:place>. Grace be unto you and peace, from him that is and that was and that is to come: and from the seven spirits which are before his throne:<br />And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood (when He became Incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the blessed virgin Mary and went to the Cross for our salvation)<br />And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father. To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.(DRV)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">And see: Rev. 12:1, 2, 5<br />And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in pain to be delivered.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod (Christ’s Incarnation). And her son was taken up to God and to his throne (Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension). (DRV)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">And see: Rev.:21:6:<br />6 And he said to me: It is done. I am Alpha and Omega: the Beginning and the End. To him that thirsteth, I will give of the fountain of the water of life, freely. (DRV)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">These two phrases that is and that was and that is to come (Greek “‘o oon kai ‘o en kai ‘o erchoumenos”) and I am Alpha and Omega (Greek: “egoo eimi to Alpha kai to Omega”) are emphatic declarations of Christ’s Divinity and Immortality for it is the Thrice Holy Trinity – Rv:4:8 And the four living creatures had each of them six wings: and round about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come. (Greek “‘agious ‘agious ‘agious kurios ‘o theos ‘o pantocrator”) – alone Who possesses Aseity (self existence and Who is therefore alone uncreated) and Who is Immortal of the same Essence/Substance – Nature.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">In the above: the “who [that] is”, in Greek “‘o oon”, is the declaration of Aseity. The “who [that] was” and the “who [that] is to come” with the “‘o oon”, self existence, is the declaration of Immortality (having no beginning and no end – always existing). The phrase I am Alpha and Omega has exactly the same meaning. “I am” – “egoo eimi” is the equivalent of Yahweh (God’s proper name) in Hebrew meaning “I am” in the same sense as the above “‘o oon”. Alpha and Omega has the same meaning as Immortality in the above. Pantocrator (translated as Almighty) is the declaration of the Thrice Holy Lord God’s All ruling absolute Sovereignty and includes emphatically the meaning that He is alone uncreated and Creator, ex nihilo, of all of creation. This relates directly to the beginning of the Gospel of St. John and the beginning of the first book of the Torah (the Pentateuch) which is Genesis. See: Genesis 1:1 through 2:4 and <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">St. John’s</st1:place></st1:city> Gospel 1:1 through vs. 18. All of this and the exact seventy human generations recounted in St. Luke’s Gospel 3:1 – 38 from Adam to Christ (see also the parallel in St. Matthew’s Gospel 1:1 – 25 from Abraham to Christ) and the testimony of the Church Fathers does not allow any pagan evolutionary gods nor even sophist pantheistic idolatrous creationism but only creation by the Creator as He said He did it, and only Redemption in God and His Christ (the Messiah, al-Maseeh) as He said that it is; the false gods or pagan idolatrous religions that willfully reject God and Jesus Christ (those who do not willfully reject Him but seek God in their hearts are judged by God alone) are without grace and they and their followers will be damned forever, who do not repent in this life from those false gods and religions and come to God and His Christ and make confession in Him and be baptized by God’s Spirit {believers in monotheistic Islam who confess the Holy Trinity and Jesus Christ as the Son of God and all men of good will who worship only this God (in the full consensus of the Church Fathers) are included as true believers in the true God and therefore saved by their confession of belief in and fulfilling the will of God, Allah (SWT)}. Allah is from biblical Hebrew 'Eloah' and means the true God, All middle Eastern Christians, including Catholics, who are Arabic speakers call on Allah as the name of the true God. Amen.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Note on parallel passage notation – the ! after a scriptural reference means that is the emphasis or central point for explanation of the passage.</span><br />

Mary’s conception from her mother.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Church Father Pope St. Gregory the Great, one of the four
great western doctors of the church, in his 39<sup>th</sup> Epistle, To
Eulogius, Patriarch of Alexandria, who Pope St. Gregory the Great taught
elsewhere was an equal Petrine Bishop and Patriarch to Himself, quoting Mark
11:13 and John 2:4 <span style="color: red;">“Woman, what have I to do with thee?
Mine hour is not yet come.”</span> (words of the verse supplied by Pope St.
Gregory the Great), emphatically states that only in His divine nature from God
the Father does Jesus Christ possess the knowledge of prophecy especially of
the date of His Second Coming which knowledge He shares with the other two
Persons of the Trinity - but they do not reveal this to anyone else; further
Pope St. Gregory the Great teaches that ONLY from God the Father does His Son Jesus
Christ receive the power to perform miracles and from His mother, Mary, He only
receives the ability to die. Pope St. Gregory the Great is absolutely
unreservedly emphatic in this; Mary is not a prophetess nor is she source of
nor does she share in Jesus Christ’s power of miracles nor in His knowledge of
Prophecy. Mary has none of the attributes of the Divine Immortal alone
possessing Aseity All Holy Immortal from everlasting to everlasting God, the
Blessed and Undivided and Ubiqutos All Present and Almighty Trinity, the Father
and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete sent by the Father
and the Son. Her only prophecy is the inspired prayer (by the sovereign action
of the Holy Spirit) she makes when she accepts God’s proposal that she bear His
Son Jesus Christ upon earth, subsuming flesh from her: the Magnificat, Luke
1:46-55.</span></div>

<a href="http://www.fathercekada.com/2008/10/29/baptism-of-desire-perfect-charity-or-contrition/">: Quidlibet : › Baptism of Desire = Perfect Charity or Contrition</a><br />
<br />
<h2 class="entry-title" style="background-color: white; font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px;">
Baptism of Desire = Perfect Charity or Contrition</h2>
<div class="entry-content" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">QUESTION: </strong><em>On the subject of baptism of desire and blood, when I question the subject on one traditional website to a priest and say I believe in it, I am told I am in heresy. If I tell a priest on another traditional website that I am against it, he tells me I am in heresy.</em></div>
<em></em><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<em>I am very serious. I don’t know what to believe any more on the subject. If only I knew the complete truth, I would not doubt it at all. Never in my whole life, have I ever doubted the smallest thing I was taught concerning my faith.</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<em>What about the doctrine, “Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation”? I was taught that if fallen-away Catholics did not return to the Church before they died they went to hell; that Protestants, Moslems, Jews, etc. went to hell if they did not come into the Church before they died; that if God wanted a soul to be saved, He sent a “preacher” to him to lead him into the Catholic Church. I was taught of the importance of going out and seeking souls to lead to the truth of the Catholic Church. I am not sure of even this part of my faith I was taught as a child.</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<em>The last five popes say that you don’t have to be in the Catholic Church to be saved, that protestants, Jews and others don’t need to be converted before they die, etc.</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<em>If what I was taught in regards to this doctrine was false, then I wonder what else I could have been taught as a child was wrong. Maybe I don’t know my Catholic faith at all. Can you understand the dilemma I feel?</em></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<em>I have always accepted everything I was taught as a child about my faith without the least question or doubt, and I could not tolerate those who did not believe without question. I could accept baptism of blood and desire as the truth, if I knew it was really the truth.</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">RESPONSE:</strong> Don’t feel bad if you don’t remember everything you were taught. No one can do that!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Baptism of desire and baptism of blood were indeed taught in the old catechisms. This is one of the indications that a teaching belongs to <strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">the universal ordinary magisterium,</strong> and hence, Catholics are <strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">obliged</strong> to adhere to it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
No Catholic theologian teaches that these doctrines contradict the teaching “Outside the Church, no salvation.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">Q: </strong><em>So you are telling me it is correct to believe in baptism of desire and blood and it does not go against the doctrine “outside the Catholic church there is no salvation?</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">R:</strong> That is correct. It does not. The same theologians who teach one doctrine also teach the other.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">Q:</strong> <em>So those souls such as protestants, Jews, etc. that God does not put in contact with the true Faith go to heaven if they live good lives according to their religion?</em></div>
<em></em><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<em>Isn’t this one of the heresies Benedict XVI is teaching, saying that the protestants, Jews, etc. do not need to convert to the Catholic faith?</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">R:</strong> You misunderstand. This is not baptism of desire, and that is not what the doctrine means.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Here is an explanation of baptism of desire from the pre-Vatican II theologian, Father Felix Cappello:</div>
<blockquote style="background-image: url(http://www.fathercekada.com/wp-content/themes/veryplaintxt/images/blockquote.png); background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 3em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
“<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">The term baptism of the spirit or of desire</strong> [<em>flaminis seu desiderii</em>] means <strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">an act of perfect charity or contrition</strong>, with at least an implicit wish for the sacrament. ‘For the heart of a man,’ says St. Thomas, ‘is moved by the Holy Ghost to believe and love God, and repent of its sins.’</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
“Thus, baptism of desire serves to justify a man in place of baptism properly speaking, for (as our treatise <em>On Penance</em> says) outside of the sacrament actually received, <strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">perfect contrition is in itself [<em>per se</em>] an immediate disposition for justification…</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
“… baptism of desire [<em>in voto</em>] takes place when at least the implicit intention to receive it [the sacrament of baptism] is present; this intention is contained in the act of charity or contrition, insofar as it is a general will to fulfill all divine commandments and to employ all means divinely instituted as necessary for salvation.” (<em>Tractatus Canonico-Moralis de Sacramentis</em>, 4th ed. [Rome: 1945] 1:110, 112.)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Baptism of desire, in other words, is equated with <strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">perfect charity or perfect contrition</strong>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">Q: </strong><em>What happened to the concept that we must go out and convert protestants, Jews, etc. to the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation. In my early years, God sent me to many souls to “preach” to to lead them to the Cathoic Church.</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong style="font-size: 0.9em;">R: </strong>Obviously, we’re still obliged to do this.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
After all, how many Catholics, still less non-Catholics, have perfect contrition?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
So, the missionary apostolate of preaching and converting souls to the one, true faith must ever continue.</div>

<br />
We are not given to know the end of time in terms of a hard date. We are assured of that fact by Sacred Scripture, by Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself:<br />
<br />
Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Chapter 24: 36 <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br /></span>Gospel According to Saint Mark, Chapter 13:32 <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br /></span>The Greek in St. Mark is explicit - it says Christ as the Immortal Son knows with the Father both the day and the hour. What they know, their Holy Spirit Who is the third person of the Blessed Trinity the Holy Spirit the Paraclete, knows. The Holy Triune Omnipotent Omniscient All Holy Lord God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Holy Holy Holy Lord God Pantocrator, Infinite and All Powerful Creator and Ruler over all that has been created, unrestrained and uncontained by their creation and ubiquitously present throughout all of creation knows all that has ever been and is and will ever be. This knowledge they have perfectly possessed from before all time and creation and have always perfectly possessed and will always perfectly possess.<br />
<br />
They are not telling us the day and the hour and have not even told the elect angels nor any of the saints, including the blessed virgin Mary.<br />
<br />
It will come on a sudden and there will be no escaping it.<br />
<br />
The last book of the bible, the Apocalypse, tells us all the signs that lead up to it. Also included is the entire history of God's creation in types and prophecy.<br />
<br />
See: <a href="http://theapocalypsethebookoftherevelation.blogspot.com/">The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation</a><br />

But before the baptism, if possible, let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized [when there is time] to fast one or two days before.</span><br />

See this for why Jesus Christ must be confessed as the Holy Word and Son of God: <a href="http://the-final-trial.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-final-trial-mary-revered-by-both.html">The Final Trial: Mary - revered by both Christians and Muslims as the vessel through whom God made the Word, Jesus Christ, Incarnate</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
The Muslim feast of Eid only commemorates the typological sacrifice by Abraham of Issac. That prefigured the final and only Supreme Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on His Most Holy Cross. It is only by the Sacrifice of Christ on His Cross that we are saved. Jesus Christ commanded, not suggested, that we be baptized; echoing the rest of the Church Fathers, St. Augustine noted that if someone could not be baptized even though they wanted it and did everything they could to be baptized in the water in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, then their confession of faith is enough for their salvation. But no where are we allowed to refuse baptism.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All Muslims and everyone who will, are invited and encouraged to come to the water of life now and be baptized in the water and in the Spirit in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and receive Communion.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the earth, until the ninth hour.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Origen tell us this darkness was only in Palestine, and the neighbouring countries: for as to the words, over <i>the whole earth,</i> or over <i>the whole land,</i> we find one kingdom or empire, by a common way of speaking, called the <i>whole earth,</i> or the <i>whole world.</i> As to the cause of the obscuration of the sun; and secondly, as to the extent of its darkness. Origen tells us that the darkness was partial, and confined to Judea and the neighbouring countries, as the darkness of Egypt was only perceived in that country, and not in Gessen, where the children of Israel were. Saint Jerome tells us that the obscurity was caused by the rays of the sun being suddenly withdrawn by divine power, as was the case in Egypt. The darkness in Egypt during the Passover of Moses was due to God's protection withdrawn from that land at that time. The darkness when Christ was Crucified for us is the judgement of God upon His Son Jesus Christ, in our place. For Jesus Christ knew NO sin. He never sinned, nor could He ever.</span><br />

<b>The meaning of the
Pasch of Christians.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Book of Wisdom,
Chapter 17</b>, describes the devils and demons thrown back upon the Egyptians
when the Israelites under Moses were brought out of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Egypt</st1:country-region></st1:place> by God for God’s purposes (to prepare a place for the Crucifixion of Our Lord for the Redemption of the whole world of those who are saved). In
the same way the same false gods and goddesses that the Egyptians served and
which in so doing were the reason the Egyptians sacrificed their sons and
daughters to the devils and demons behind the false gods/goddesses were the
spirits that killed the Egyptian children that perished when the Israelites
were brought out of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Egypt</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
God does not murder children, period. The angel of death which destroyed in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Egypt</st1:place></st1:country-region> was one
of the fallen spirits. God did not cause any of the fallen spirits to hurt
anyone. God allowed the fallen spirits to do what it is their nature do to when
He brought the Israelites out of the gates of hell which was <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Egypt</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The
children below the age of reason that died went to be with God for eternity,
they will be resurrected with the just at the Second Coming of Christ. This principle
of God allowing the innocent to be afflicted along with guilty finds its
ultimate fulfillment in Christ’s singular and only salvific <b><a href="http://thecatholiccreed.blogspot.com/2008/01/christ-kenosis.html">Kenosis</a></b>. Jesus Christ committed no sin, not ever nor could He, and was and is and
only could be utterly and absolutely and completely innocent of any and all wrongdoing
and sin by His very nature as the Holy and True God. The guiltless sacrificed
by His own will for the guilty. Even when the innocent are afflicted by the
actions and evils instigated by the fallen spirits in the world, the innocent
are not possessed by those fallen spirits. The principle of all being afflicted
by the evil set loose upon the world for its unrepentant sin will occur when
the universal plagues are let loose upon the world. See <b><a href="http://theapocalypsethebookoftherevelation.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post_6745.html">Apocalypse 16</a> – </b></div>

The principle of our ONLY worshiping the True God, the
Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is given first in the
historical truth of the Garden of Eden when Christ, who is the Tree of Life
commands the first man and his wife, Adam and Eve to not have anything to do
with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which is Satan, the first
fallen angel, nor with any of the fallen angels with Satan. Assisi of
Babylon/Vatican/Rome is absolute and complete violation of that principle and
is the Great Apostasy in full blown Satanic evil. Have nothing to do with the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region> or
suffer its eternal damnation in hell with it. The devil and demon worshiping pagans
and the perfidious deicidal Jews are not ever any part of the Salvific action
of Christ upon Golgotha/Calvary. Individual pagans and Jews if they repent of
their not confessing Jesus Christ as the Immortal Son of God become flesh for
our sake and sacrificed for our salvation and who confess publicly their sin of
devil and demon worshiping and perfidy and deicide and who beg the Lord of
all, the Lord God, the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for
forgiveness of their horrid and abominable sins, can and will be forgiven if
they do so now in this life and will enter into the only path of salvation
there is as dictated by God Himself. The Church, all the faithful – there is no
other meaning acceptable to God for the word Church, is commanded by God to not
have anything to do with the Apostasy.</div>

1 For thy judgments, O Lord, are great, and thy words cannot
be expressed: therefore undisciplined souls have erred.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2 For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion
over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of
darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the
eternal providence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3 And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins,
they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly afraid
and troubled with exceeding great astonishment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 For neither did the den that held them, keep them from
fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them,
affrighted them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5 And no power of fire could give them light, neither could
the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6 But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful:
and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought
the things which they saw to be worse:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7 And the delusions of their magic art were put down, and
their boasting of wisdom was reproachfully rebuked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8 For they who promised to drive away fears and troubles
from a sick soul, were sick themselves of a fear worthy to be laughed at.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9 For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being
scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for
fear: and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things.</div>

11 For fear is nothing else but a yielding up of the
succours from thought.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
12 And while there is less expectation from within, the
greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
13 But they that during that night, in which nothing could
be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the
same sleep.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
14 Were sometimes molested with the fear of monsters,
sometimes fainted away, their soul failing them: for a sudden and unlooked for
fear was come upon them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
15 Moreover if any of them had fallen down, he was kept shut
up in prison without irons.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
16 For if any one were a husbandman, or a shepherd, or a
labourer in the field, and was suddenly overtaken, he endured a necessity from
which he could not fly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
17 For they were all bound together with one chain of
darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds,
among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with
violence,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
18 Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the
running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice
of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things
made them to swoon for fear.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
19 For the whole world was enlightened with a clear light,
and none were hindered in their labours.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
20 But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of
that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more
grievous than the darkness. </div>

<br />
GOD is the Truth. The Most Holy Trinity is God and none other is God. The Most Holy Trinity is Three Persons Who are One God. These Three Persons are The Father and the Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The Father is the fountainhead of the Trinity, the Son proceeds from His engendering in the Father’s bosom, the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father in the unity of the engendering of the Son from the Father. This procession of the Son and the Holy Spirit from the Father is immortal from before all time and creation and unto eternity never-ending. This Triune God alone has Aseity, that He is immortal without beginning and without end, self sustained in His existence which preceded all time and creation and, His existence, continues forever; God’s existence is infinite. This God is above all that He has created and transcendent in all that He has created. There is nothing apart from nor outside of God that He has not created. He created all that has been created ex nihilo, that is from nothing by His infinite power. Nothing that is created has aseity. Time is only an aspect of that which has been created by God. Time is therefore part of God’s creation. God is not limited by His creation, this includes that God is not limited by time. God is Omnipotent and Omniscient and Ubiquitos and with eternal complete foresight: Almighty and All seeing and knowing and equally present everywhere and knowing all things before their creation and all events before they come to pass unto eternity. There is no way to God but through the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity Who is the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom alone there is salvation by His Most Holy Cross and Resurrection. Creation had a beginning but will continue unto the eternal ages to come. At the return of Jesus Christ from God the Father’s right hand in the third heaven and the just judgement of Christ of His creatures, creation will be cleansed by fire (the damned, both angels and men consigned to hell forever) and renewed with paradise restored, with the presence around God of all His elect angels and saints, and continue in this way forever.<br />
<br />
Salvation by Christ is by His Kenosis (the elect angels do not stand in need of salvation for they never sinned and are God’s servants forever).<br />
<br />
Holy Holy Holy Lord God of hosts who will return in glory and in flaming fire taking vengeance upon those who know not God and who obey not the Lord Jesus Christ<br />
<br />

1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:<br />
2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.<br />
3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.<br />
4 Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.<br />
5 So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.<br />
6 As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.<br />
7 Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.<br />
8 And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.<br />
9 And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation:<br />
10 ¶ Called by God a high priest, according to the order of Melchisedech.<br />
11 Of whom we have much to say and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.<br />
12 For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.<br />
13 For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.<br />
14 But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.<br />

<st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">St. Paul</st1:place></st1:city> explains this same thing with different wording in Philippians.<br />
<br />
Phil:2:<br />
5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:<br />
6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:<br />
7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.<br />
8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.<br />
9 For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names:<br />
10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:<br />
11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.<br />

<br />
This is crucial to our understanding of Christ’s mission to save us. In the above “emptied” is kenosis in the Greek. Christ’s kenosis (He Who is the Immortal Son of God and has always existed from before He created anything, His emptying out of Himself for us and to us) consists of “taking the form of a servant” at His incarnation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, “being made in the likeness of men” extremely important — His incarnation in the flesh, “in habit found as a man” this part explains phrases like “learned obedience”. Jesus never had to learn anything for Himself since He is God and Omniscient – All Knowing. But He willed to be born and grow up and be taught by Joseph and Mary. Think about it, it was the Blessed Virgin who taught Him the Psalms that He was the Mediator for David to receive by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and record for us. In simple terms He taught David the Psalms and willed that Mary would teach Him on earth the same psalms, though, of course He knew them already. So all references to His learning and growing and being perfected are only those things that He willed to go through for two basic reasons for our sakes. Number two first: to show us what our attitude and efforts should be on His behalf as His ambassadors to the rest of mankind. He “learned” but is actually teaching us. Number one in importance: “being made in the likeness of men” extremely important — His incarnation in the flesh. St. Athanasius Contra Mundum (against the world [opposing heresy]) addresses this when he explains that had Christ the Immortal Son of the Father in the Unity and Power of the Holy Spirit simply have erased Adam’s sin then the natural debt we all inherited to die from that sin would have meant that all men would die forever and be lost since God doesn’t lie and He pronounced that the separation of man from God due to sin would by the natural property of human nature make anything else impossible. In other words if God simply erased the sin He would have erased men as well thereby. Worst yet, St. Athanasius tells us, the devil would thereby have won that round. But what God did, the Son, Who because of His Divine substance/essence – nature cannot die, is to take upon himself the real human nature of all men subsumed from Mary — and therefore of Adam (see the genealogies in St. Matthew’s, Chapter 1, and St. Luke’s, Chapter 3, Gospels; in St. Luke’s Gospel all the way back to Adam). Since of Adam, then, of all men. Since He had and has that nature in total union with His divine nature, when he suffered and died (it is in this sense that St. Paul says “learned obedience”) in our place as the ransom from death then we become sons and daughters by adoption unto real eternal life at the future Return of Christ and the General Resurrection of the flesh, each of us, our bodies reunited with our same soul and same spirit. Therefore death, which insured that God’s law would be obeyed, was originally God’s way to insure that man would not become a diabolic creature totally in bondage to the devil, incapable of being in union with the Holy God, Himself. Christ took death, merited by all men, upon Himself preserving what God had said to Adam and Eve “upon that day (of disobedience) you will die”. Therefore, Christ’s death, then becomes the ransom to bring us out of thralldom to the devil and into union with God in Christ. Christ’s Resurrection then becomes the guarantor of our resurrection — which will absolutely happen. This is a brief description of Christ’s kenosis. Christ’s kenosis is the weightiest subject in the whole Bible. Christ’s obedience loosed the debt of Adam’s disobedience as Mary’s obedience undid the knot of Eve’s disobedience (that last is from St. Irenaeus). A note of warning: those who retie the knot of Eve’s disobedience and who bind themselves again in the debt of Adam’s disobedience by becoming part of pagan religions, who profess atheism or agnosticism, who follow after the Antichrist or who walk not in God’s commandments though they pretend to be Christ’s, will certainly be resurrected, but to eternal undying destruction in the lake of fire with the devil and all the fallen angels and all of the demons. Only the saints will inherit paradise with the elect angels in this universe recreated by God at the second coming of Jesus Christ at the end of this age of grace.<br />

These sins abide in the memory of the self which is a man’s soul, unless a man confess his sins to christ and be forgiven and therfore cleansed by him alone who is ubiquitous and therefore present with all men in this life. (those who do not are therfore headed for hell. This is where, at the bottom of the abyss, beneath the universe, the abode of the damned is; the outer darkness consumed eternally by the unquenchable fire of god’s wrath; which jesus christ also referred to as gehenna [ge-hinnom in hebrew]. This is hell; the one place of damnation, which by god’s command exists and will continue to exist eternally, but where god’s presence by the holy spirit who is his uncreated wisdom, is not. It exists by the power of god with an energy given by him to keep it in place but totally without the holy spirit and therefore also totally without any sanctifying grace. This is forever, with no redemption there at all ever. This is the abode of the damned: the devil and all the rest of the fallen angels, all the demons and all men who are not saved by coming to christ, in repentance of their sins, and receiving the forgiveness of christ. Young children are not held accountable, for they cannot form the requisite intent to be held guilty of any sin.)<o:p></o:p></span><br />

The following is a theological explanation of how God is ubiquitously present (totally present everywhere at all times); since God created everything (except himself, always having existed, which quality is called aseity), the willful misuse of anything or anybody including oneself, is sin against God himself, who is present in all of his creation. God’s creation is composed of elements (the basic biblical elements are: fire, spirit, water, earth, called in Greek, ‘stoichea’). There are also four basic realms which are all part of God’s created cosmos: the realm of those who are created with a beginning and an eternal life, i.e. angels and men, the realm of creatures with a sentient soul but no eternal life, i.e. animals, the realm of those things created with life but not a thinking or an aware mind, i.e. plants, the realm of things created and therefore having an existence sustained by God but with no self, no consciousness, nor life, i.e. the realm of the inanimate. In all of this all misuse of any of this is sin, the misuse of the elements is sorcery and magic, the misuse of the creatures of God is idolatry and when the two misuses are combined it is the sin of witchcraft – all of these sins are instigated by Satan whom Jesus told us in St. John’s Gospel is a murderer and liar from the beginning (Gospel of St. John chapter 8 verse 44). In this verse, in which Jesus condemns those who held a superficial profession of faith in God, is the absolute definition of sin from the sin of Satan and the other fallen angels and then the fall of Adam and Eve and every other sin there ever has been or will be: “the Father from whom you are is the devil, and the desires of the Father of you it is your will to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie he speaks from his very nature, because he is a liar and the Father of lies.” in this extremely important verse is the definition of what Jesus also informs us of in his rebuke to the devil in St. Matthew’s Gospel chapter 4 verse 10: then Jesus said to him, “begone, Satan! for it is written, the Lord your God shall you worship and him only shall you serve.” angels are created noetic spirits (spirits, each with a self identity and an individual mind) and their nature at the moment of their creation is good; they are endowed with a free will. Satan and the rest of the fallen angels chose to deny God and all worship and service of God, i.e. to apostasize from God, and be their own gods (they are the false gods behind all of the pagan religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, false Islam which uses idolatry and magic (as opposed to true Islam which does not) etc., and idols and are the instigating spirits of sorcery and magic and all sin). This decision on their part immediately and irrevocably separated them from the Holy Spirit of God and therefore, at that moment their natures became evil forevermore. Men are a different case; their souls are where their self exists. Men possess free will to make the decision whether or not to worship and serve the true God; however, unlike the angels, men’s existence is in the flesh. Therefore a man’s decision is made in the flesh. God fixed the nature of man’s flesh to remain incorrupt and not know death ever, as long as man did not transgress God’s commandment not to stray from the worship and service of God who is the only Creator of all and source of life (which commandment is given universally to all angels and men). The nature of man’s flesh, as created by God, parted from perfect obedience of man and therefore indwelling of God by his spirit with incorruption, has a limited life span by God’s command. Therefore, unlike the angels who cannot die as men die in the flesh, man has a time here on earth in his flesh to make his decision whether or not to worship and serve the living God and inherit life eternal, i.e. incorruption. Adam was created in the flesh and sinned in the flesh and therefore men inherit, not sin, but death in the flesh because of Adam’s sin. Men’s decision is irrevocably fixed at the moment of their death. Beginning with Adam (the first formed man and there are none of any sort before him) all men’s souls are formed to their bodies; their souls are where their self exists eternally. Man at his creation (Adam) and each man thereafter at his soul’s creation by God at the moment of conception in the man’s body is a person. Each person is a threefold existence of spirit from God, soul created by God and body made of the elements created by God. Unrepentant sinners who go to hell upon their death and the lake of fire at the final judgement are devoid of any spirit of God forevermore. Their same souls and bodies alone (no spirit) are resurrected reunited by Christ forevermore at the resurrection of all men in the future and then condemned at that time to the lake of fire (at the bottom of the abyss beneath the universe). The saints (all of the saved from the first adam on) will be resurrected with their same spirits souls and bodies reunited (all diseases of the former life healed) and inherit life eternal with Christ incorrupt as he is uncorrupt, in this universe (God’s creation) recreated at that time unto the endless ages of ages to come. The reason for our resurrection is that Christ, by virtue of his being God, in taking the flesh of the blessed virgin Mary (who was descended from Adam 70 generations before, as well as all men – recounted in the Gospel of St. Luke chapter 3 verses 23-38) therefore took the flesh of all men, Adam and all men ever descended from Adam, and thereby took the punishment of death (upon his cross) that had been decreed by him upon men for Adam’s sin, upon himself.<br />
<br />
Note: in the passage from <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">St. John’s</st1:place></st1:city> Gospel that “…the desires of the Father of you (the devil) it is your will to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth…”. Men (who are old enough to form the requisite intention and never before that does any man sin) sin by their willing to do it. It is true, of course, that the devil tempted Adam and Eve with his own self temptation, i.e. to be their own gods, in order to draw them to the worship of himself. Adam and Eve could have said no. They chose to sin as do all men who sin. The devil was by virtue of his angelic nature (noetic), therefore having an immediate knowledge of right and wrong upon his creation, to be held immediately and irrevocably bound by his apostasy from the moment of his sin (see book of the holy prophet of God, Ezechiel, chapter 28 verses 12b through 19.)<br />
<br />
The following describes God’s holy presence throughout his creation. Therefore, as said above, any and all apostasy from he who created all of creation and any and all misuse of his creation (that is: in transgressing his commandments in any of these cases) by any of his creatures is sin. All angels, and all men who have reached the age of reason, are responsible to God for their thoughts, intentions, words, deeds and in both commission and omission in all of this and will answer to him who is the just judge. We men absolutely need our redeemer Saviour Jesus Christ. The elect angels worship and serve him but do not stand in need of salvation since they have never sinned. The devil and the rest of the fallen angels are damned forever.<br />

<b><br /></b><b>BOOK OF THE ACTS CHAPTER 8</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b>4. Now those who were scattered abroad went about preaching the word. 5. And, Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached the Christ to them. 6. And the crowds with one accord gave heed to what was said by Philip, listening to him and seeing the miracles that he worked (by the power of the Holy Spirit). 7. For many of those having unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out. {Note: this is the direct translation from the Latin and also from the Greek [by the late 1940's CCD Catholic translators] - those with the unclean spirits went out; i.e. they left, driven out by the Holy Spirit. It was a typical practice in ancient paganism, and also in the modern descendants of that infidelity to the true living God (Buddhism - especially Tibetan tantrism and Japanese esoteric/exoteric Mahayana - Nicherin Shoshu for instance, Hinduism, heretical Sufi mystics for instance, etc.), to purposely obsess themselves (cause their own possession) with demonic spirits. Doing the same thing is the basis of the so-called "catholic charismatic movement" which is total heresy. The true God, worshipped traditionally through the centuries by the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church, Orthodox in doctrine and profession of the one true saving faith, will NOT tolerate the spirits of the false gods which God forbade by the first commandment "thou shalt not have strange gods before Me".}</div>
<div>
<br />
8. So there was great joy in that city. {That the worshippers of the false gods had been driven out}</div>
<div>
<br />
9. Now a man named Simon had previously been practicing sorcery in that city and astounding the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great; 10. and all from least to greatest listened to him, saying, "This man is the power of God, which is called great." 11. And they gave heed to him because for a long time he had bewitched them with his sorceries. 12. But when they believed Philip as he preached the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were <a href="http://traditional-catholic-prayers.blogspot.com/2012/10/baptism.html">baptized</a>, both men and women. 13. And Simon also himself believed, and after his baptism attached himself to Philip and at sight of the signs and exceedingly great miracles being wrought, he was amazed.</div>
<div>
<br />
14. Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John. 15. On their arrival they prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; 16. for as yet he had not come upon any of them {that had been baptized by Phillip, however at the miracles of Phillip the self possessed by demons had been driven out by the power of the Holy Spirit}, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17. Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. 18. But when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles hands {not laid on this Simon and the Holy Spirit absolutely not given to him}, he offered them money, 19. saying, "Give me also this power, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit." But Peter. said to him, 20. "Thy money go to destruction with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money. 21. Thou hast no part or lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right before God."</div>
<div>
<br />
Note: Simony, using the Gospel for money making purposes (it is alright for a man to pray that God give him work to make a living, that is quite different), and blaspheming the Holy Spirit are both immediate and direct reasons for the complete damnation of infidels and heretics by God, which God will do! The complete history of Simon Magus (Simon the magician) who is referred to in the above passage is given in the Church Fathers, especially St. Irenaeus and St. Hippolytus, and others. Simon's final damnation is here prophesied by St. Peter, although for a while Simon pretended to repent, but went on to even more blasphemous and absurd and dirty schemes with a prostitute named Helen. Simon pretended that Helen was the reincarnation of Helen of Troy. According to St. Irenaeus and St. Hippolytus and the other Church Fathers writing on the subject, Simon is the father of the ancient heresy against the Church which is called Gnosticism. The Gnostics followed in the footsteps of the Naaseni (ancient serpent worshippers that had apostasized from the true God and turned, on purpose, to worship Satan). Amongst other offenses of which the Gnostics were guilty were: committing abortion, pretending to forgive sins by their own power and partaking in and encouraging sexual sins - especially taking advantage of women. The modern Gnostics would be those who, today, molest young people sexually, priests who take license with women parishioners sexually and/or brow beat them for money and the ecumenists who claim that <a href="http://1law-order-and-justice.blogspot.com/2012/10/will-you-leave-me-too.html">the false gods of Buddhism and Hinduism and paganism in general etc.</a> are to be tolerated. The Church Fathers further taught that the ringleaders of this sort of thing, especially priests and bishops, are to be driven out and not even offered absolution, but the little folks who have been mislead should repent of this and have nothing to do with the apostate priests and bishops, that means all of the Vatican II apostasy and the whole of the great apostasy that is upon us.</div>
<div>
<br />
OUR CHOICE, THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL -- VERSUS CHARITY, IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER BUT IT CANNOT BE BOTH</div>
<div>
<br />
In the Gospel of St. Mark in the 13th chapter, Jesus' discourse on the signs immediately preceding His second coming (in the same flesh in which He, the incarnate God was crucified, died, buried and resurrected and ascended to the Father's right hand in heaven, returning therefrom to raise and judge all men), in the 22nd verse Jesus gives us a severe warning: "For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." verse 23. "Be on your guard, therefore; behold, I have told you all things beforehand." In the 22nd verse the word 'astray' is the same word in the Greek as in St. Paul's 1st epistle to St. Timothy in the 6th chapter, the 10th verse, translated as 'erred': "For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows." (From Thayer's Lexicon: apo-planaoo, 1 aor. pass. apeplanethen; 'to cause to go astray', trop. 'to lead away from the truth to error': Mk. xiii. 22; pass. to go astray, stray away from: 1 Tim. vi. 10.) In both cases it means to deny Christ and the faith and therefore to not be saved but be judged and condemned by Christ into hell. Also, quoted under The Angel's Promise, see below in Apocalypse 18th chapter verse 23b: "because thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for by thy witchcraft (pharmakeia) all the nations have been led astray." led astray here is a closely related word in the Greek, eplanethesan. In all these cases it means led to transgress against God and be damned by Christ, not saved by Him.</div>
<div>
<br />
From "The Didache"; the Apostolic directions to Christians. This is the earliest Christian book in existence.<br />
"Thou shalt not murder a child by abortion." 2:2<br />
"The Way of Death is filled with people who are ... murderers of children and abortionists of God's creatures." 5:1-2<br />

<div>
How Christians Should Live</div>
<div>
<br />
13. For you have been called to liberty, brethren; only do not use liberty as an occasion for sensuality, but by charity serve one another. 14. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 15. But if you bite and devour one another, take heed or you will be consumed by one another. (signifies the complete ruin of the Christian Community)<br />
16. But I say: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. 17. For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you would. 18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are immorality, uncleanness, licentiousness, 20. idolatry, witchcrafts (pharmekeia), enmities; contentions, jealousies, anger, quarrels, factions, parties, 21. envies; murders, drunkenness, carousings, and suchlike. And concerning these I warn you, as I have warned you, that they who do such things will not attain the kingdom of God. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is: charity, joy, peace; patience, kindness, goodness, 23. faith, modesty, continency. Against such things there is no law. 24. And they who belong to Christ have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. 25. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. 26. Let us not become desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another. - from Galatians Chapter 5</div>
<div>
<br />
The Angel's Promise</div>
<div>
<br />
21. And a strong angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, "With this violence will Babylon; the great city, be overthrown, and will not be found any more. 22. And the sound of harpers and musicians and flute-players and trumpet will not be heard in thee any more; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in thee any more; and sound of millstone will not be heard in thee any more. 23. And light of lamp will not shine in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride will not be heard in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for by thy witchcraft (pharmakeia) all the nations have been led astray. 24. And in her was found blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain upon the earth." - from Apocalypse Chapter 18<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pharmakoi: sorcerer (or sorceress); pharmakon: sorcerer's sacrifice; pharmakos: sorcery; pharmakeia: witchcraft - all the foregoing offered to Satan via idolatry (idoololatreia); in this description, especially including the idolatry of mammon that Christ condemned as being damned.</div>

<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">From the: CATHOLIC DICTIONARY The Catholic Press, Inc. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Imprimatur + Samuel Cardinal Stritch Archbishop of Chicago - Chicago, August 5, 1950 </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"></span></span><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Resurrection of Christ.</span></span></strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> The greatest of all Christ's miracles and the proof of His divine mission. For although He worked many other wonders, yet without His Resurrection, as Saint Paul states (1 Cor. 15:17), our faith would be vain and we would still be in our sins. The reason for this is that resurrection from the dead was the sign which Christ Himself promised as the proof of His divine mission (Matt. 12:38 - 41; John 2:19), and had He failed to return to life on the third day He would have been convicted of being an imposter. His enemies, the priests and Pharisees, understood full well the importance of this sign, and therefore took precautions to seal the tomb and post guards (Matt. 27:62 - 66). Since these arrangements excluded the possibility of fraud, they thereby increased for posterity the certainty of the miracle. The Resurrection was not an apparent return or a mere hallucination of the Apostles, but resumption by Christ of His human body. It is a historical fact attested by witnesses who could neither deceive, wish to deceive, nor be deceived. Those whom the Bible mentions as having seen the Risen Christ include: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome; the Apostles; Cleophas and another disciple at Emmaus; Saint Paul; more than 500 disciples. Of the fact of Christ's Resurrection, therefore, there can be no doubt (Matt. 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20). The Apostles bore witness to it constantly; in fact, it formed the basis of their entire preaching (e.g., Acts 2:24-32; 2 Cor. 5:15; 2 Tim. 2:8). Not only is it the foundation of our faith; it is also the pledge and example of our own resurrection. Easter Sunday is the Feast of the Resurrection. Resurrection of the Body. The doctrine that the souls of all men, both good and bad, will be reunited to their bodies at the second coming of Christ. Just as the body shares in the good acts or in the sins of the soul in this life, so it will share in its reward or in its punishment in eternity. Each soul will be reunited, by the power of God, to identically the same body which it inhabited in this life. The risen body, will be without any defect of human nature and will be invested with the special qualities of the glorified body. This doctrine is the 11th article of the Creed, and one of the principal doctrines of our Faith. This consoling truth was known to the orthodox Jews of the Old Testament (2 Mach. 7:9-11) and was more clearly and emphatically taught by Our Lord on various occasions (Matt. 22:23-32; John 5: 28-29). Indeed, by Himself rising from the dead, Christ gave us a pattern and a pledge of our own resurrection (1 Cor. 15:20-23; 1 Thess. 4:13); for at His command on the last day our bodies will be restored to us in a condition like to His own glorified body: subject to our souls, and immune from decay, suffering, and death (1 Cor. 15:42-44).</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"></span></span><br />

As I have already observed, the Church,<o:p></o:p></span></h2> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">having received this preaching and this faith, although scattered throughout the whole world, yet, as if occupying but one house, carefully, preserves it. She also believes these points of doctrine just as if she had but one soul, and one and the same heart, and she proclaims them, and teaches them, and hands them down, with perfect harmony, as if she possessed only one mouth. For, although the languages of the world are dissimilar, yet the import of the tradition is one and the same. For the Churches which have been planted in Germany do not believe or hand down anything different, nor do those in Spain, nor those in Gaul, nor those in the East, nor those in Egypt, nor those in Libya, nor those which have been established in the central regions <span>of </span>the world { Jerusalem, the mother of all the Churches is here referred to }. But as the sun, that creature <span>of<i> </i></span>God, is one and the same throughout the whole world, so also the preaching of the truth shineth everywhere, and enlightens all men that are willing to come to a knowledge of the truth. Nor will anyone of, the rulers in the Churches, however highly gifted he may be in point <span>of<i> </i></span>eloquence, teach doctrines different from these (for no one is greater than the Master); nor, on the other hand, will he who is deficient in power of expression inflict injury on the tradition. For the faith being ever one and the same, neither does one who is able at great length to discourse regarding it, make any addition to it, nor does one, who can say but little, diminish it. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <h3><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">3 It does not follow because men are endowed <o:p></o:p></span></h3> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">with greater and less degrees of intelligence, that they should therefore change the<span> </span>subject-matter of the faith itself, and should conceive of some other God, besides Him who is the Creator, Framer, Maker, and Preserver of this universe ( as if He were not sufficient for them ), or of another Christ, or another Only-begotten.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">…while the Catholic Church possesses one and the same faith throughout the whole world, as we have already said.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">(Pg.) 332<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">(Pg.) 497<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">Book 4 Chapter XXVI Section 4.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-size:130%;color:red;">( Concerning how we act towards heretics – the evolutionary Gnostics )<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><span style="color:red;"><span> </span>From all such persons, therefore, it behoves us to keep aloof,…but to adhere to…the doctrine of the Apostles.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><span style="color:red;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><span style="color:red;">Jesus Christ Our Only Lord and Saviour in Your true Gospel alone Holy God, the Only Author of Covenant of Salvation, of:<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><span style="color:red;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p><p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style=";font-family:Georgia;font-size:130%;color:green;">Adam’s covenant shown forth by the face seen by Ezechiel of a lion prefiguring the Gospel of John showing forth the royal power and authority of Christ the Immortal Son Word Wisdom and Power of God through whom God the Father by the Holy Spirit created all of creation Who became Incarnate for our redemption in the flesh as Adam had sinned in the flesh<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style=";font-family:Georgia;font-size:130%;color:green;">Noah’s covenant shown forth by the face seen by Ezechiel of a calf prefiguring the Gospel of Luke showing forth the sacrifice of Christ who is our Holy Only Priest Victim Sacrifice Altar Temple Tabernacle Redeemer Salvation Immortal Immaculate Golden Ark of the covenant showing himself forth as the only begotten Redeemer in his Epiphany of fiery glory at his baptism in the Jordan<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style=";font-family:Georgia;font-size:130%;color:green;">Abraham’s covenant shown forth by an Epiphany of the Lord and two angels prefiguring the Transfiguration of Christ with: Moses, a type of the faithful departed at the future resurrection, and Elijah, a type of the faithful living at the future resurrection, Christ condemning for all time the darkness of idolatry which has no communion with light -

The entire three Persons are coeternal and coequal with one another.<br />So that in all things, as is has been said above, the Unity is to be worshipped in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity.<br />He, therefore, who wishes to be saved, must believe thus about the Trinity.<br /><br />It is also necessary for eternal salvation that he believes steadfastly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.<br />Thus the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man.<br /><br />As God, He was engendered of the substance of the Father before time; as man, He was born in time of the flesh of His Mother.<br />He is perfect God; and He is perfect man, with a rational soul and human flesh.<br />He is equal to the Father in His divinity, but inferior to the Father in His flesh.<br />Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ.<br />And He is one, not because His divinity was changed into flesh, but because His humanity was assumed unto God.<br />He is one, not by a mingling of substances, but by unity of person.<br />As a rational soul and flesh are one man: so God and man are one Christ.<br />He died for our salvation, descended to the waiting souls of the faithful departed, and rose from the dead on the third day.<br />He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.<br />At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their own deeds.<br />Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into the everlasting fire.<br />This is the Catholic faith. Everyone must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise He cannot be saved.<br />Glory be to Thee, O equal Trinity, one God, before all ages, now and forever.<br />Amen.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div>SntMartyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11197760281270769367noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762068053219172693.post-14370327617379579982011-11-28T08:37:00.000-08:002015-03-10T09:48:30.272-07:00Traditional Catholic Prayers: Jesus Christ the Son of God, who established His Eucharist<a href="http://traditional-catholic-prayers.blogspot.com/2011/11/jesus-christ-son-of-god-who-established.html">Traditional Catholic Prayers: Jesus Christ the Son of God, who established His Eucharist</a><br /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />This is the only Eucharist we must have part of.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvdaSnkdoOY-wmLZah0nNVAFubHBSyZA0aGCpQSArEgzssI6NolD8f6MtOuJz_oMWccqHJx727G2Mh-NWbPo45trmvhl4Y4bOvErb8zPgM5OlnpnAirt8b5_jT58for0gL3tbPdNHtMeo/s1600/Avatar.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674680488312951986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvdaSnkdoOY-wmLZah0nNVAFubHBSyZA0aGCpQSArEgzssI6NolD8f6MtOuJz_oMWccqHJx727G2Mh-NWbPo45trmvhl4Y4bOvErb8zPgM5OlnpnAirt8b5_jT58for0gL3tbPdNHtMeo/s400/Avatar.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 96px; width: 71px;" border="0" /></a><br /><br />At the Last Supper, Our Lord Jesus Christ instituted the Eucharist. This is for Baptized Christians only. One can believe in God with a salvific faith before Baptism or even without Baptism. St. Augustine makes an example of someone alone in a desert with no water to baptize with and no one to baptize the singular person there. If that person were to come to faith in the true Triune God, then that is a saving faith, even if he should die of thirst moments later. Is that salvation somehow retracted if he should live instead? Of course not. The water Baptism is an outward sign of an inward grace that is established by the person's confession of faith in God and the Holy Spirit's response to that confession. The Holy Spirit actually prompts, but does not force the person's confession in the first place.<br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br />The Last Supper is the New Testament fulfillment of the Old Testament type of the Paschal Lamb of the Passover that God commanded the Israelites to eat at the beginning of the Exodus from Egypt. The last supper is where Christ instituted His real presence (recreated unbloody by the Holy Spirit in the epiclesis in our communions) as it would be offered the next day on His Most Holy Cross as the only Sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. This sacrifice was prefigured in the son, Isaac, that Abraham was willing to offer to God, but God substituted the Ram (prefiguring Christ) instead. Eid al-Kabir, "the Greater Eid," is the reverent Muslim holiday recalling the faith of Abraham in that sacrifice.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;font-size:13px;color:#666666;" ></span></div><br /></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;font-size:13px;color:#666666;" ></span><br /><h2 style="color: #999999; font: normal normal normal 78%/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.5em; text-transform: uppercase;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;font-size:13px;color:#666666;" >THE LORD'S EUCHARIST - CLICK ON PICTURE TO GO TO HOW TO CELEBRATE THE EUCHARIST</span></h2><br /><div class="widget-content"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;font-size:13px;color:#666666;" ><a href="http://traditional-catholic-prayers.blogspot.com/2009/02/eucharist.html" style="color: #65b5ff; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="The Lord's Eucharist - Click on picture to go to how to celebrate the Eucharist" id="Image13_img" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM4T4EUcvH6w6m1THwFRWoTAyKwXNAVtymgwBGR36TennhcAvQT5xi-iOTLsxDx9mYpvTrT0VmDBWcIjycp5iw92SaEyjnja_GFxnBO5UzNBkYEj01-_QYIkPbgGSokdCu9gZ9vqvUcDM/s220/thumbnail.aspx.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; visibility: visible;" height="97" width="150" /> </a></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;font-size:13px;color:#666666;" ><span class="caption">St. John 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.</span></span></div><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br />The Great tribulation is ever increasing in its proximity to us, though the exact time is known by God alone. The Church Fathers said that the faithful at that time would withdraw to private places to preserve the Eucharist in its purity. Below is the original house Church.<br /><br /><br />In the ancient Church there was no term such as "confect" the Eucharist.

For neither was he left in hell: neither did his flesh see corruption.<br />32 This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.<br />33 Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.<br />34 For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand,<br />35 Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.<br />36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.<br />37 ¶ Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?<br />38 But Peter said to them: Do penance: and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.<br />39 For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.<br />40 And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.<br /><b>41 They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.</b><b><br /><b>42 ¶ And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers.</b><br /></b>43 And fear came upon every soul. Many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem: and there was great fervor in all.<br />44 And all they that believed were together and had all things common.<br />45 Their possessions and goods they sold and divided them to all, according as every one had need.<br />46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart:<br />47 Praising God and having favour with all the people.

<b>1 Peter 3:</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span"><b><i>In Christian Suffering</i></b>13. And who is there to harm you, if you are zealous for what is good? 14. But even if you suffer anything for justice’ sake, blessed are you. So have no fear of their fear and do not be troubled. 15. But hallow the Lord Christ in your hearts. Be ready always with an answer to everyone who asks a reason for the hope that is in you. 16. Yet do so with gentleness and fear, having a good conscience, so that wherein they speak in disparagement of you they who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. [verses 13 - 16, see fn. 1] 17. For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that you suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 18. Because Christ also died once for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. Put to death indeed in the flesh, he was brought to life in the spirit, 19. in which also he went and preached to those spirits that were in prison. [fn. 2] 20. These in times past had been disobedient when the patience of God waited<i> </i>in the days of Noe [Noah] while the ark was building. In that ark a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water. 21. Its counterpart, Baptism now saves you also (not the putting off of the filth of the flesh [the water is referred to], but the inquiry [response] of a good conscience after God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; 22. who is at the right hand of God, swallowing up death that we might be made heirs of eternal life; for he went into heaven, Angels, Powers and Virtues being made subject to him.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">These passages below from Saint Paul and Saint Peter are linked. See </span>Mt. 5:10 "Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Saint Peter affirms this in 1Pet. 3:14 below. This was seen in action in Thessalonica recorded in Acts 17:5-9 and referred to in 1 Thess. 2:14 below.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
Acts 17:5-9 - [5] But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them out unto the people.<br />
[6] And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also; [7] Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. [8] And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things, [9] And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
Just as the Jews persecuted Our Lord Jesus Christ, they also persecute those who follow Him. Our Lord tells us we are blessed when this occurs just as the prophets were blessed by God for being faithful to Him when the Jews persecuted and killed them - which they did to Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but He rose again and will return and raise and judge all men.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span">Saint Paul<br /><br />1 Thess. 2: [14] For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews, [see Acts 17:5-9] [15] Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men; [16] Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end. (DRV)<br /><br />Saint Peter<br /><br />1 Peter 3: [11] Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue it: [12] Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things. [13] And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good? [14] But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, [see Mt. 5:10] blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled. [15] But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. (DRV)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
[fn. 2] "19. in which also he went and preached to those spirits that were in prison." This is explained by St. Irenaeus in Against Heresies Book IV, <a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/anf01-62.htm#P8520_2395271">Chapter XXVII</a>, Section 2.</div>
2. It was for this reason, too, that the Lord descended into the regions beneath the earth, preaching His advent there also, and [declaring] the remission of sins received by those who believe in Him.<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn85.htm#P8531_2401148">385</a></sup> Now all those believed in Him who had hope towards Him, that is, those who proclaimed His advent, and submitted to His dispensations, the righteous men, the prophets, and the patriarchs, to whom He remitted sins in the same way as He did to us, which sins we should not lay to their charge, if we would not despise the grace of God. For as these men did not impute unto us (the Gentiles) our transgressions, which we wrought before Christ was manifested among us, so also it is not right that we should lay blame upon those who sinned before Christ's coming.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></o:p></div>
<div>
Notice there is no purgatory here, it is the "the righteous men, the prophets, and the patriarchs" who are in the place rendered a "prison" in the text here in 1 Peter 3:19. "Prison" has dual meaning here; it is the grave, first of all, since when Adam sinned then it was the lot of men to die - and secondly it is the "bosom of Abraham" that Our Lord Jesus Christ referred to as the place of the abode of the souls of the faithful departed awaiting the resurrection of the dead (Luke 16:22 <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.</span>, which after the resurrection of Christ, the Church referred to Abraham's bosom as the "bosom of Christ"). At the same time, Saint Irenaeus is not saying that wanton disregard for God's commandments is somehow allowed for anyone. We must repent and ask for God's forgiveness. Also, he is saying that we must not impute sins recorded in the Old Testament to the prophets and patriarchs just as they do not impute our sins to us who would later come to the same Christ for forgiveness. This is also in Our Lord's Prayer He taught us to Pray:<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our supersubstantial bread. <b>And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. </b>And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen."</span> We must, of course, confess our sins to God and ask for forgiveness and at the same time we do not hold our fellows in the body of Christ as indebted to us but as Jesus told Peter, how often do you forgive - seven times? Nay but, seven times seven times. The meaning is there is no limit. This doesn't apply to those outside the body of Christ. Instead, if they are willing, tell them about the gift of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His forgiveness.<br />
<br />
Matthew 26<br />
<br />
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: <span style="color: red;">“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”</span><br />
<br />
Neighbor in the above verse means our brothers and sisters in Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, regardless of any other connection to us they may have or not have.<br />
<br />
Note as well, that in the Apostles Creed there is a phrase that Our Lord Jesus Christ descended into "hell" incorrectly used by translators (the same word "hell" is also incorrectly used by translators in the Acts Of the Apostles 2:27 [Acts 2:27] and related scriptural verses). That is not correct, it is a bad translation from the Latin. It should read the same as the above place wherein Our Lord went to preach to those departed spirits of men that were in fact saved but awaiting the announcement that their Saviour, who is the same Saviour of us, Jesus Christ, had come. He went in to them in the time between His death on the Cross (a living death with NO bodily corruption [Acts Of Apostles 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in the abode of the dead, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.]) and His resurrection and announced the glorious and long awaited news that He had come with the salvation promised to Adam by God when Adam had sinned. This salvation is for Adam and Eve (who were among the ones awaiting Christ) and all of Adam's children that put their faith in the true God. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ went in to the abode of the dead, but He did not remain there. He never went into hell, the abode of the damned, nor did He ever preach any forgiveness to them - see Luke 16:22 above, the rich man went into hell, damned forever. At His ascension, after His resurrection, Our Lord Jesus Christ translated the bosom of Abraham to heaven with Him instead of an interim lower place. Therefore, as St. Paul and the Church Fathers attest, spiritual journeys into heaven are quite possible for those whom God grants the gift. We therefore have no reason to doubt the night journey of Muhammad (pbuh) to heaven. Three and seven heavens do not disagree. We don't mean the gnostic versions of any of it. God's throne is in the third heaven beyond and above the created universe. The first heaven is the atmosphere, the air. The second heaven is what we call outer space. The seven heavens are the journey anyone would make through the solar system past the seven visible planets. The second heaven extends to where the third heaven is, the uncreated throne room of the living God. It is not spatial as we think of created spatial places, it is the uncreated light and presence of the living God above all and beyond all, who created all that has been created and Whose presence (Tawhid in Islam, Nous in Patristic Christianity) is infinite, it is the mind of God and has the quality of His uncreated energy and is present transcendently throughout all of His creation. God is not present in hell. That is maintained by Him in existence by His will and is the abode of the damned. It is sheer terror and suffering and torment and darkness and has the quality present of nonphysical but extreme and utterly real fire that burns but does not consume, there is real pain. The "worm" of the damned souls does not die.</div>

For no other being had the power of revealing to us the things of the Father, except His own proper Word. For what other person "knew the mind of the Lord," or who else "has become His counsellor? "<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8909_2548797">2</a></sup> Again, we could have learned in no other way than by seeing our Teacher, and hearing His voice with our own ears, that, having become imitators of His works as well as doers of His words, we may have communion with Him, receiving increase from the perfect One, and from Him who is prior to all creation. We-who were but lately created by the only best and good Being, by Him also who has the gift of immortality, having been formed after His likeness (predestinated, according to the prescience of the Father, that we, who had as yet no existence, might come into being), and made the first-fruits of creation<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8910_2549424">3</a></sup> -have received, in the times known beforehand, [the blessings of salvation] according to the ministration of the Word, who is perfect in all things, as the mighty Word, and very man, who, redeeming us by His own blood in a manner consonant to reason, gave Himself as a redemption for those who had been led into captivity. And since the apostasy tyrannized over us unjustly, and, though we were by nature the property of the omnipotent God, alienated us contrary to nature, rendering us its own disciples, the Word of God, powerful in all things, and not defective with regard to His own justice, did righteously turn against that apostasy, and redeem from it His own property, not by violent means, as the [apostasy] had obtained dominion over us at the beginning, when it insatiably snatched away what was not its own, but by means of persuasion, as became a God of counsel, who does not use violent means to obtain what He desires; so that neither should justice be infringed upon, nor the ancient handiwork of God go to destruction. Since the Lord thus has redeemed us through His own blood, giving His soul for our souls, and His flesh for our flesh,<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8911_2550678">4</a></sup> and has also poured out the Spirit of the Father for the union and communion of God and man, imparting indeed God to men by means of the Spirit, and, on the other hand, attaching man to God by His own incarnation, and bestowing upon us at His coming immortality durably and truly, by means of communion with God,-all the doctrines of the heretics fall to ruin.</p> <p>2. Vain indeed are those who allege that He appeared in mere seeming. For these things were not done in appearance only, but in actual reality. But if He did appear as a man, when He was not a man, neither could the Holy Spirit have rested upon Him,-an occurrence which did actually take place-as the Spirit is invisible; nor, [in that case], was there any degree of truth in Him, for He was not that which He seemed to be. But I have already remarked that Abraham and the other prophets beheld Him after a prophetical manner, foretelling in vision what should come to pass. If, then, such a being has now appeared in outward semblance different from what he was in reality, there has been a certain prophetical vision made to men; and another advent of His must be looked forward to, in which He shall be such as He has now been seen in a prophetic manner. And I have proved already, that it is the same thing to say that He appeared merely to outward seeming, and [to affirm] that He received nothing from Mary. For He would not have been one truly possessing flesh and blood, by which He redeemed us, unless He had summed up in Himself the ancient formation of Adam. Vain therefore are the disciples of Valentinus who put forth this opinion, in order that they my exclude the flesh from salvation, and cast aside what God has fashioned.</p> <p>3. Vain also are the Ebionites, who do not receive by faith into their soul the union of God and man, but who remain in the old leaven of [the natural] birth, and who do not choose to understand that the Holy Ghost came upon Mary, and the power of the Most High did overshadow her:<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8914_2552710">5</a></sup> wherefore also what was generated is a holy thing, and the Son of the Most High God the Father of all, who effected the incarnation of this being, and showed forth a new [kind of] generation; that as by the former generation we inherited death, so by this new generation we might inherit life. Therefore do these men reject the commixture of the heavenly wine,<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8915_2553086">6</a></sup> and wish it to be water of the world only, not receiving God so as to have union with Him, but they remain in that Adam who had been conquered and was expelled from Paradise: not considering that as, at the beginning of our formation in Adam, that breath of life which proceeded from God, having been united to what had been fashioned, animated the man, and manifested him as a being endowed with reason; so also, in [the times of] the end, the Word of the Father and the Spirit of God, having become united with the ancient substance of Adam's formation, rendered man living and perfect, receptive of the perfect Father, in order that as in the natural [Adam] we all were dead, so in the spiritual we may all be made alive.<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8916_2553985">7</a></sup> For never at any time did Adam escape the <i>hands</i><sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8917_2554051">8</a></sup> of God, to whom the Father speaking, said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness." And for this reason in the last times (<i>fine</i>), not by the will of the flesh, nor by the will of man, but by the good pleasure of the Father,<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8918_2554319">9</a></sup> His hands formed a living man, in order that Adam might be created [again] after the image and likeness of God.</p> <ul><p><a name="P8920_2554446"></a> <span style="font-size:100%;">Chapter II.-When Christ Visited Us in His Grace, He Did Not Come to What Did Not Belong to Him: Also, by Shedding His True Blood for Us, and Exhibiting to Us His True Flesh in the Eucharist, He Conferred Upon Our Flesh the Capacity of Salvation.</span></p></ul><p>1. And vain likewise are those who say that God came to those things which did not belong to Him, as if covetous of another's property; in order that He might deliver up that man who had been created by another, to that God who had neither made nor formed anything, but who also was deprived from the beginning of His own proper formation of men. The advent, therefore, of Him whom these men represent as coming to the things of others, was not righteous; nor did He truly redeem us by His own blood, if He did not really become man, restoring to His own handiwork what was said [of it] in the beginning, that man was made after the image and likeness of God; not snatching away by stratagem the property of another, but taking possession of His own in a righteous and gracious manner. As far as concerned the apostasy, indeed, He redeems us righteously from it by His own blood; but as regards us who have been redeemed, [He does this] graciously. For we have given nothing to Him previously, nor does He desire anything from us, as if He stood in need of it; but we do stand in need of fellowship with Him. And for this reason it was that He graciously poured Himself out, that He might gather us into the bosom of the Father.</p> <p>2. But vain in every respect are they who despise the entire dispensation of God, and disallow the salvation of the flesh, and treat with contempt its regeneration, maintaining that it is not capable of incorruption. But if this indeed do not attain salvation, then neither did the Lord redeem us with His blood, nor is the cup of the Eucharist the communion of His blood, nor the bread which we break the communion of His body.<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8923_2556349">10</a></sup> For blood can only come from veins and flesh, and whatsoever else makes up the substance of man, such as the Word of God was actually made. By His own blood he redeemed us, as also His apostle declares, "In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the remission of sins."<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8924_2556647">11</a></sup> And as we are His members, we are also nourished by means of the creation (and He Himself grants the creation to us, for He causes His sun to rise, and sends rain when He wills<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8925_2556841">12</a></sup> ). He has acknowledged the cup (which is a part of the creation) as His own blood, from which He bedews our blood; and the bread (also a part of the creation) He has established as His own body, from which He gives increase to our bodies.<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8926_2557098">13</a></sup> </p> <p>3. When, therefore, the mingled cup and the manufactured bread receives the Word of God, and the Eucharist of the blood and the body of Christ is made,<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8928_2557401">14</a></sup> from which things the substance of our flesh is increased and supported, how can they affirm that the flesh is incapable of receiving the gift of God, which is life eternal, which [flesh] is nourished from the body and blood of the Lord, and is a member of Him?-even as the blessed Paul declares in his Epistle to the Ephesians, that "we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones."<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8929_2557924">15</a></sup> He does not speak these words of some spiritual and invisible man, for a spirit has not bones nor flesh;<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8930_2558046">16</a></sup> but [he refers to] that dispensation [by which the Lord became] an actual man, consisting of flesh, and nerves, and bones,-that [flesh] which is nourished by the cup which is His blood, and receives increase from the bread which is His body. And just as a cutting from the vine planted in the ground fructifies in its season, or as a corn of wheat falling into the earth and becoming decomposed, rises with manifold increase by the Spirit of God, who contains all things, and then, through the wisdom of God, serves for the use of men, and having received the Word of God, becomes the Eucharist, which is the body and blood of Christ; so also our bodies, being nourished by it, and deposited in the earth, and suffering decomposition there, shall rise at their appointed time, the Word of God granting them resurrection to the glory of God, even the Father, who freely gives to this mortal immortality, and to this corruptible incorruption,<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8931_2559007">17</a></sup> because the strength of God is made perfect in weakness,<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8932_2559084">18</a></sup> in order that we may never become puffed up, as if we had life from ourselves, and exalted against God, our minds becoming ungrateful; but learning by experience that we possess eternal duration from the excelling power of this Being, not from our own nature, we may neither undervalue that glory which surrounds God as He is, nor be ignorant of our own nature, but that we may know what God can effect, and what benefits man receives, and thus never wander from the true comprehension of things as they are, that is, both with regard to God and with regard to man. And might it not be the case, perhaps, as I have already observed, that for this purpose God permitted our resolution into the common dust of mortality,<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8933_2559823">19</a></sup> that we, being instructed by every mode, may be accurate in all things for the future, being ignorant neither of God nor of ourselves? </p> <ul><p><a name="P8935_2560241"></a> <span style="font-size:100%;">Chapter III.-He Power and Glory of God Shine Forth in the Weakness of Human Flesh, as He Will Render Our Body a Participator of the Resurrection and of Immortality, Although He Has Formed It from the Dust of the Earth; He Will Also Bestow Upon It the Enjoyment of Immortality, Just as He Grants It This Short Life in Common with the Soul.</span></p></ul><p>1. The Apostle Paul has, moreover, in the most lucid manner, pointed out that man has been delivered over to his own infirmity, lest, being uplifted, he might fall away from the truth. Thus he says in the second [Epistle] to the Corinthians: "And lest I should be lifted up by the sublimity of the revelations, there was given unto me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me. And upon this I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me. But he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for strength is made perfect in weakness. Gladly therefore shall I rather glory in infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me."<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8937_2561244">20</a></sup> What, therefore? (as some may exclaim: ) did the Lord wish, in that case, that His apostles should thus undergo buffering, and that he should endure such infirmity? Even so it was; the word says it. For strength is made perfect in weakness, rendering him a better man who by means of his infirmity becomes acquainted with the power of God. For how could a man have learned that he is himself an infirm being, and mortal by nature, but that God is immortal and powerful, unless he had learned by experience what is in both? For there is nothing evil in learning one's infirmities by endurance; yea, rather, it has even the beneficial effect of preventing him from forming an undue opinion of his own nature (<i>non aberrare in natura sua</i>). But the being lifted up against God, and taking His glory to one's self, rendering man ungrateful, has brought much evil upon him. [And thus, I say, man must learn both things by experience], that he may not be destitute of truth and love either towards himself or his Creator.<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8938_2562280">21</a></sup> But the experience of both confers upon him the true knowledge as to God and man, and increases his love towards God. Now, where there exists an increase of love, there a greater glory is wrought out by the power of God for those who love Him.</p> <p>2. Those men, therefore, set aside the power of God, and do not consider what the word declares, when they dwell upon the infirmity of the flesh, but do not take into consideration the power of Him who raises it up from the dead. For if He does not vivify what is mortal, and does not bring back the corruptible to incorruption, He is not a God of power. But that He is powerful in all these respects, we ought to perceive from our origin, inasmuch as God, taking dust from the earth, formed man. And surely it is much more difficult and incredible, from non-existent bones, and nerves, and veins, and the rest of man's organization, to bring it about that all this should be, and to make man an animated and rational creature, than to re-integrate again that which had been created and then afterwards decomposed into earth (for the reasons already mentioned), having thus passed into those [elements] from which man, who had no previous existence, was formed. For He who in the beginning caused him to have being who as yet was not, just when He pleased, shall much more reinstate again those who had a former existence, when it is His will [that they should inherit] the life granted by Him. And that flesh shall also be found fit for and capable of receiving the power of God, which at the beginning received the skilful touches of God; so that one part became the eye for seeing; another, the ear for hearing; another, the hand for feeling and working; another, the sinews stretched out everywhere, and holding the limbs together; another, arteries and veins, passages for the blood and the air;<sup><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-01/footnote/fn89.htm#P8940_2564355">22</a></sup> another, the various internal organs; another, the blood, which is the bond of union between soul and body. But why go [on in this strain]? Numbers would fail to express the multiplicity of parts in the human frame, which was made in no other way than by the great wisdom of God. But those things which partake of the skill and wisdom of God, do also partake of His power.</p> <p>3. The flesh, therefore, is not destitute [of participation] in the constructive wisdom and power of God. But if the power of Him who is the bestower of life is made perfect in weakness-that is, in the flesh-let them inform us, when they maintain the incapacity of flesh to receive the life granted by God, whether they do say these things as being living men at present, and partakers of life, or acknowledge that, having no part in life whatever, they are at the present moment dead men. And if they really are dead men, how is it that they move about, and speak, and perform those other functions which are not the actions of the dead, but of the living? But if they are now alive, and if their whole body partakes of life, how can they venture the assertion that the flesh is not qualified to be a partaker of life, when they do confess that they have life at the present moment? It is just as if anybody were to take up a sponge full of water, or a torch on fire, and to declare that the sponge could not possibly partake of the water, or the torch of the fire. In this very manner do those men, by alleging that they are alive and bear life about in their members, contradict themselves afterwards, when they represent these members as not being capable of [receiving] life. But if the present temporal life, which is of such an inferior nature to eternal life, can nevertheless effect so much as to quicken our mortal members, why should not eternal life, being much more powerful than this, vivify the flesh, which has already held converse with, and been accustomed to sustain, life? For that the flesh can really partake of life, is shown from the fact of it; being alive; for it lives on, as long as it is God's purpose that it should do so. It is manifest, too, that God has the power to confer life upon it, inasmuch as He grants life to us who are in existence. And, therefore, since the Lord has power to infuse life into what He has fashioned, and since the flesh is capable of being quickened, what remains to prevent its participating in incorruption, which is a blissful and never-ending life granted by God?</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762068053219172693.post-13319186321666654582010-05-21T06:24:00.000-07:002012-11-07T14:06:35.367-08:00The sons of Israel and Esau.The sons of Israel, today are the believers in the Gospel of Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

A secret accord made at Metz supplies an answer.<br /><br />Those who pass by the convent of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Borny - on the outskirts of the French city of Metz - never imagine that something of transcendental importance occurred in the residence of Fr. Lagarde, the convent’s chaplain. In a hall of this religious residence in August 1962 - two months before Vatican Council II opened - a secret meeting of the greatest importance between two high-ranking personalities took place.<br /><br /><table id="picture" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="200" align="right" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="200"><img height="320" alt="A007HT1" src="http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/htimages/A007HT1.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></td> <td><img height="1" src="http://www.traditioninaction.org/images/blank.gif" width="10" border="0" /></td></tr> <tr> <td><span style="font-family:times;font-size:100%;color:#800000;"> <center>Another player:<br />Cardinal Tisserant</center></span><br /></td> <td></td></tr></tbody></table> <table id="picture" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="200" align="left" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img height="1" src="http://www.traditioninaction.org/images/blank.gif" width="5" border="0" /></td> <td width="200"><img height="320" alt="A007HT1" src="http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/htimages/A007HT2.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></td></tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><span style="font-family:times;font-size:100%;color:#800000;"> <center>One player at Metz:</center> <center>metrolitan Nikodin</center></span><br /></td> <td></td></tr></tbody></table>One dignitary was a Cardinal of the Curia, Eugène Tisserant, representing Pope John XXIII; the other was metropolitan Nikodin, who spoke in the name of the Russian Schismatic Church.<br /><br />This encounter had consequences that changed the direction of Council, which was already prepared to open. In effect, the meeting at Metz determined a change in the trajectory of the very History of the Church in the 20th century.<br /><br />What was the matter of such great importance that was resolved at his meeting? Based on the documents that are known today, there it was established that Communism would not be condemned by Vatican Council II. In 1962, The Vatican and the Schismatic Russian Church came to an agreement. According to its terms, the Russian “Orthodox Church” agreed to send observers to Vatican II under the condition that no condemnation whatsoever of communism should be made there (1). <blockquote></blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;"><span style="color:#000080;">1. Ulysses Floridi, Moscou et le Vatican, Paris: France-Empire, Paris, 1979, pp. 147-48; Romano Amerio, <i>Iota Unum</i>, K.C., MO: Sarto House, 1996, pp. 75-76; Ricardo de la Cierva, <i>Oscura rebelion en la Iglesia</i>, Barcelona: Plaza & Janes, 1987, pp. 580-81.</span></span></blockquote>And why were the consequences of such a pact so far-reaching and important?<br /><br />Because in the 20th century a principal enemy of the Catholic Church was Communism. As such, until Vatican II it had been condemned numerous times by the Magisterium. Moreover, in the early ’60s a new condemnation would have been quite damaging, since Communism was passing through a serious crisis, both internally and externally. On one hand, it was losing credibility inside the USSR since the people were becoming increasingly discontent with the horrendous administrative results of 45 years of Communist demagogy. On the other hand, outside the USSR Communism had not been able to persuade the workers and poor of free countries to take up its banner. In fact, up until that time it had never won a free election. Therefore, the leaders of international Communism decided that it was time to begin to change the appearances of the regime in order to retain the power they had and to experiment with new methods of conquest. So in the ‘60s President Nikita Khrushchev suddenly began to smile and talk about dialogue (2). <blockquote></blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;"><span style="color:#000080;">2. Plinio Correa de Oliveira, <i>Unperceived Ideological Transshipment and Dialogue</i>, New York: Crusade for a Christian Civilization, 1982, pp. 8-15.</span></span></blockquote>This would have been a particularly inopportune moment for the Pope or the Council to issue a formal condemnation, which could have either seriously damaged or possibly even destroyed the Communist regime..<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#800080;"><b>A half secret act</b></span><br /><br />Speaking about the liberty at Vatican II to deal with diverse topics, Professor Romano Amerio revealed some previously unpublished facts. <blockquote>“The salient and half secret point that should be noted,” he stated, “is the restriction on the Council’s liberty to which John XXIII had agreed a few months earlier, in making an accord with the Orthodox Church by which the patriarchate of Moscow accepted the papal invitation to send observers to the Council, while the Pope for his part guaranteed the Council would refrain from condemning Communism. The negotiations took place at Metz in August 1962, and all the details of time and place were given at a press conference by Mgr. Paul Joseph Schmitt, the Bishop of that Diocese [newspaper <i>Le Lorrain</i>, 2/9/63]. The negotiations ended in an agreement signed by metropolitan Nikodim for the Orthodox Church and Cardinal Tisserant, the Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals, for the Holy See.<br /><br />“News of the agreement was given in the <i>France Nouvelle</i>, the central bulletin of the French communist party in the edition of January 16-22, 1963 in these terms: ‘Because the world socialist system is showing its superiority in an uncontestable fashion, and is strong through the support of hundreds and hundreds of millions of men, the Church can no longer be content with a crude anti-communism. As part of its dialogue with the Russian Orthodox Church, it has even promised there will be no direct attack on the Communist system at the Council.’ On the Catholic side, the daily <i>La Croix</i> of February 15, 1963 gave notice of the agreement, concluding: “‘As a consequence of this conversation, Msgr. Nikodim agreed that someone should go to Moscow carrying an invitation, on condition that guarantees were given concerning the apolitical attitude of the Council.’<br /><br />“Moscow’s condition, namely that the Council should say nothing about Communism, was not, therefore, a secret, but the isolated publication of it made no impression on general opinion, as it was not taken up by the press at large and circulated, either because of the apathetic and anaesthetized attitude to Communism common in clerical circles or because the Pope took action to impose silence in the matter. Nonetheless, the agreement had a powerful, albeit silent, effect on the course of the Council when requests for a renewal of the condemnation of Communism were rejected in order to observe this agreement to say nothing about it” (3).</blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;"><span style="color:#000080;">3. Romano Amerio, <i>Iota Unum</i>, pp. 65-66.</span></span></blockquote>Thus the Counci, which made statements on capitalism and colonialism, said nothing specific about the greatest evil of the age, Communism.. While the Vatican Monsignors were smiling at the Russian Schismatic representatives, many Bishops were in prison and innumerable faithful were either persecuted or driven underground for their fidelity to the Holy Roman Catholic Church.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#800080;"><b>The Kremlin-Vatican negotiations</b></span><br /><br />This important information about Vatican-Kremlin negotiations is confirmed in an article ‘The mystery of the Rome-Moscow pact’ published in the October 1989 issue of <i>30 Dias</i>, which quotes statements made by the Bishop of Metz, Paul Joseph Schmitt. In a February 9, 1963 interview with the newspaper <i>Republicain Lorrain</i>, Mgr. Schmitt said: <blockquote>“It was in our region that the ‘secret’ meeting of Cardinal Tisserant with archbishop Nikodin occurred. The exact place was the residence of Fr. Lagarde, chaplain for the <i>Little Sister of the Poor</i> in Borny [on the outskirts of Metz]. Here for the first time the arrival of the prelates of the Russian Church was mentioned. After this meeting, the conditions for the presence of the Russian church’s observers were established by Cardinal Willebrands, an assistant of Cardinal Bea. Archbishop Nikodin agreed that an official invitation should be sent to Moscow, with the guarantee of the apolitical character of the Council” (4).</blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;color:#8c6239;"><span style="color:#000080;">4. <i>30 Dias</i>, October 1988, pp. 55-56.</span></span></blockquote>The same source also transcribed a letter of Bishop Georges Roches regarding the <i>Pact of Metz</i>: <blockquote>“That accord was negotiated between the Kremlin and the Vatican at the highest level .… But I can assure you …. that the decision to invite Russian Orthodox observers to Vatican Council II was made personally by His Holiness John XXIII with the encouragement of Cardinal Montini, who was counselor to the Patriarch of Venice when he was Archbishop of Milan…. Cardinal Tisserant received formal orders to negotiate the accord and to make sure that it would be observed during the Council” (5).</blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;"><span style="color:#000080;">5. <i>Ibid</i>. p. 57</span></span></blockquote>In a book published some time after this, German theologian Fr. Bernard Häring - who was secretary-coordinator at the Council for the redaction of <i>Gaudium et Spes</i> - revealed the more profound reason for the ‘pigeon-holing’ of apetition that many conciliar Fathers signed asking Paul VI and the Council to condemn Communism: <blockquote>“When around two dozen Bishops requested a solemn condemnation of Communism,” stated Fr. Häring, “Msgr. Glorieux …. and I were blamed like scapegoats. I have no reason to deny that I did everything possible to avoid this condemnation, which rang out clearly like a political condemnation. I knew that John XXIII had promised Moscow authorities that the Council would not condemn communism in order to assure the participation of observers of the Russian Orthodox church” (6).</blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;"><span style="color:#000080;">6. <i>30 Dias</i> October 1989, p. 55.</span></span></blockquote><span style="font-size:130%;color:#800080;"><b>Since the time of Stalin</b></span><br /><br />Facts from such indisputable sources permit no doubt about the effectiveness of the Pact of Metz. They also lend credibility to the information presented in the ‘novel’ entitled The Jesuits, by the late Fr. Malachi Martin, a quite well-informed ex-Jesuit who offers similar details about what happened before, during, and after the <i>Pact of Metz</i>.<br /><br />In Martin’s work, the Cardinal Secretary of State, under the pseudonym of Stato, tells about the understanding made by the Holy See with the Kremlin from 1942 to our days: <blockquote>“<i>Stato</i> reminded his Venerable Colleagues that he had been with the present Holy Father at His Holiness’s two meetings with the Soviet negotiator, Anatoly Adamshin, the most recent of which had been earlier this very year of 1981. His Holiness had given the Soviets a guarantee that no word or action, either by His Holiness or the Polish Hierarchy or Solidarity’s leaders, would violate the Moscow-Vatican Pact of 1962.<br /><br />“<i>Stato</i> did not need to explain to his listeners that in the late spring of 1962, a certain Eugène Cardinal Tisserant had been dispatched by Pope John XXIII to meet with a Russian prelate, one metropolitan Nikodim, representing the Soviet Politburo of Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Pope John ardently desired to know if the Soviet Government would allow two members of the Russian Orthodox church to attend the Second Vatican Council set to open the following October. The meeting between Tisserant and Nikodim took place in the official residence of Paul Joseph Schmitt, then the Bishop of Metz, France. There, Nikodim gave the Soviet answer. His government would agree, provided the Pope would guarantee two things: that his forthcoming Council would issue no condemnation of Soviet Communism or of Marxism, and that the Holy See would make it a rule for the future to abstain from all such official condemnations.<br /><br />“Nikodin got his guarantees. Matters were orchestrated after that for Pope John by Jesuit Cardinal Augustine Bea until the final agreement was concluded in Moscow, and was carried out in Rome, in that Vatican Council as well as in the policies of the Holy See for nearly two decades since” (7).</blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;"><span style="color:#000080;">7. Malachi Martin, The Jesuits - The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church, New York: Simon & Schuster, 1987; pp. 85-86.</span></span></blockquote>Further on, Malachi Martin “relates” that this Vatican-Moscow pact of 1962 was “merely a renewal of an earlier agreement between the Holy See and Moscow” on the occasion of conversations that took place in 1942 in the pontificate of Pius XII. <blockquote>“It was in that year,” he writes, “that Vatican Monsignor Giovanni Battista Montini, who himself later succeeded to the Papacy as Paul VI, talked directly with Joseph Stalin’s representative. Those talks were aimed at dimming Pius XII’s constant fulminations against the Soviet dictator and Marxism. Stato himself had been privy to those talks. He had also been privy to the conversations between Montini and the Italian Communist Party leader, Palmiro Togliatti, in 1944 .... “<i>Stato</i> offered to supply reports from the <i>Allied Office of Strategic Services</i> about the matter, beginning, as he recalled, with OSS Report JR-1022 of August 28, 1944” (8).</blockquote> <blockquote><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:78%;"><span style="color:#000080;">8. <i>Ibid</i>., pp. 91-92.</span></span></blockquote>Such, then, are the official documents as well as the extra-official information about the <i>Pact of Metz</i>, which explains the incredible omission at the Ecumenical Second Vatican Council.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#800080;"><b>Some facts that we need to consider</b></span> <blockquote>1. Catholic doctrine has always emphatically condemned Communism. It would be possible, should it be necessary, to publish a small book composed exclusively of anti-communist pontifical documents.<br /><br />2. It would have been natural, therefore, for Vatican Council II, which met in Rome from 1962 to 1965, to have confirmed these condemnations against the greatest enemy of the Church and Christian Civilization in the 20th century.<br /><br />3. In addition to this, 213 Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishop solicited Paul VI to have the Council make such a condemnation. Later, 435 Conciliar Fathers repeated the same request. The two petitions were duly delivered within the time limits established by the <i>Internal Guidelines</i> of the Council. Nonetheless, inexplicably, neither petition ever came up for debate. The first was not taken into consideration. As for the second, after the Council had closed, it was alleged that it had been “lost” by Mgr. Achille Glorieux, secretary of the commission that would have been entrusted with the request.<br /><br />4. The Council closed without making any express censure of Communism. Why was no censure made? The matter seemed wrapped in an enigmatic fog. Only later did these significant facts on the topic appear. </blockquote>The point of my article is to gather and present information from several different sources for the consideration of my reader. How can the actions of the Catholic Prelates who inspired, ordered, followed and maintained the decisions of the Pact of Metz be explained? I leave the answer to my reader.<br /></span></td></tr></tbody><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/a007ht.htm</span>SntMartyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11197760281270769367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762068053219172693.post-76692087673970664112009-01-07T12:00:00.000-08:002012-11-07T14:06:35.383-08:00Early Church governance and then the Canons of Nicaea and Chalcedon<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Even assuming that Canon XXXIX is as late an addition as would be at Chalcedon in 451 A.D. and was part of what alienated the Oriental Churches, it still governed a great deal of the Church for a very long time – centuries, and is therefore not to be taken lightly. Jesus Christ Himself instituted Church law in St. Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 16 and Chapter 18. The prime example of how that governed of course is in the Acts.</span></span></b></div>

And after him the lord of the great Alexandria, which is the see of Mark. And the third is the lord of Ephesus, which is the see of John the Divine who speaks divine things. And the fourth and last is my lord of Antioch, which is another see of Peter. And let all the bishops be divided under the hands of these four patriarchs; and the bishops of the little towns which are under the dominion of the great cities let them be under the authority of these metropolitans. But let every metropolitan of these great cities appoint the bishops of his province, but let none of the bishops appoint him, for he is greater than they. Therefore let every man know his own rank, and let him not usurp the rank of another.

The only reason I mention that is it is before "trad" Catholics existed. There was only one Catholic Church then and Novus Ordo hadn't been foisted on the Church yet and tradition simply meant what it had for 2,000 years - adherence to Apostolic teaching. Nothing in the Church Fathers can contradict Church teaching from the Apostles. Inclusion in the Church Fathers is based on the following (this is from Fr. Vincent P. Miceli, S.J. - "The Antichrist" page 62.): "First, the writer or teacher of Catholic Faith and morals had to persevere unto death in a life of orthodox communion with the Church. Second, that life had to be eminent for sanctity. ... The teacher must enjoy a certain antiquity (looked at from the present day)...he could enjoy citation by a General Council:...." The last is a good example of Catholicity. In the 1950 Catholic Dictionary the four marks of the Fathers are: Antiquity (the first millenium) and Orthodoxy and Sanctity and Catholicity. Fr. Miceli's definitions are very to the point. The 1950 Catholic Dictionary also adds, concerning Antiquity that St. Gregory the Great (604 A.D.) and St. Isadore of Seville (636 A.D.) are the last in the West and St. John Damascene (8th Century) is the last in the East. The Doctors of the Church include certain of the Church Fathers and also St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Robert Bellarmine and the first of the modern (modern = the 5 centuries before 'Vatican II') Doctors namely St. Francis de Sales. The faith exposited by all of these has everything to do with the Apostles and the Scriptural record of God's revelation to us, that is the Holy Bible; and has nothing to do with Apostate Judaism, Gnosticism, Arianism, Modernism, Freemasonry, Paganism - especially idolatry (see the Book of Wisdom for a condemnation thereof), Magic, Sorcery, Kafir heresy (that is those things considered as heresy by Islam and which are either Vatican II apostasy connected or hateful towards Christians), Vatican II, synchretism with non-Christian idolatrous religion, Evolution, Pantheism, Monism and any and every other form of Apostasy and blasphemy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Therefore the correct identification of a Catholic is in keeping with the faith exhibited by the Fathers and Doctors and not a label such as "trad", as if it were only one version as opposed to another - namely the Novus Ordo. I am a Catholic, not a "trad" and certainly not a Novus Ordo Apostate, which I have nothing to do with. My point is that the true faith is unchanged throughout the centuries and when the faithful do not allow themselves to be pigeon-holed by ghetto-izing terms like "trad" -- very good. Let us all confess the Catholic faith and not be mislead by the Freemasonic imitation vomited forth by "Vatican II". God bless the remnant, which is the Church.</div>SntMartyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11197760281270769367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762068053219172693.post-14837603068310564302008-11-12T07:49:00.000-08:002011-05-21T15:23:03.944-07:00Nicene Creed at the first Nicene council - 325 A.D,<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and invisible.

In contrast the totally false base of papal ratification/infallibility is a modernist invention promulgated at Vatican II. A form of Papal Ex Cathedra pronouncement of WHAT THE CHURCH HAD ALWAYS TAUGHT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE APOSTLES AND JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF as an infallible pronouncement was proposed at Vatican I. However, because of the enemy of Christ at that time, namely Bismarck of Germany, the council was recessed and never reopened because of the threat of Bismarck's armies. As should be noted here, Bismarck was a proponent of the higher criticism and a sponsor of that atheism in modernist pseudo-sheep's clothing, which declared that Jesus Christ really never existed, at least not the way that the Church professed Him to be the Incarnate Son of God. Bismarck’s views came from the evolutionary Pantheism-Monism in vogue among Apostates at that time. A council that is recessed but not formally closed, as is the case with Vatican I, is not canonically declared nor any doctrines proposed there nor any pronouncements of such a council. The version of infallible pronouncement considered by Vatican I would have been the same as many general (referred to today as ecumenical) councils of the Church have declared in the past. What Pope Pius IX, because of his former liberalism which he then quite rightly rejected and rebounded very hard from and then was also threatened by Bismarck, pushed for was too much in terms of Papal infallibility and caused the schism between East and West to widen even further. The doctrine Pius IX proposed a few years earlier, namely the Immaculate Conception of Mary, rested on the acceptance of the new Papal infallibility. Without the formal closing of the Council and then the promulgation of doctrines thereby none of these doctrines were ever declared. The council was never formally closed and therefore none of the doctrines proposed then have ever been declared. Also, the council of Trent (1570 A.D.) stated unequivocally that no doctrine may be declared by anyone (this includes Popes, Patriarchs etc.) ever, then, now and in the future that does not have the support of the full consensus of the Church Fathers. No one may declare any doctine that is otherwise. This is doctrine and tradition and can not be compromised and is to be held by all the faithful until and at the time of Jesus Christ's return from heaven in the flesh He ascended into heaven with.</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;">Papal ratification/infallibilty is totally different. It states that a pope by virtue of being the pope can declare whatever he wants and God will ratify it at the pope's command. This is blasphemy and total apostate heresy for it is nothing other than the ancient pagan theurgy whereby pharaohs and kings and Caesars etc. of pagan nations declared themselves living gods served by the pagan gods and as absolute tyrannical dictators over the people. The Roman Caesars who lived this way were totally rejected by the early Church. Christians were martyred rather than offer incense to Caesar. This included several Popes of early Rome who were martyred for this reason. The early Church, including these Popes, also totally rejected and anathematized anyone, especially the Gnostics who did say this, who suggested that any Bishop, including the Pope of Rome, had the authority to cause God to accept any doctrine they would tell God He must accept. </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;">No ukase by any Caesar including and especially the current pretenders to the papacy can change this doctrine of the faith: 'that to be a Christian one will and must and shall at all times reject all other gods and worship and serve the True God alone - The Father and the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.' The first major transgression of this in Rome, in the recent centuries, was by a Pope who started out as an orthodox proponent of the Faith. When Pius XII (who wrote faithfully and brilliantly to defend the faith on many occasions) forced the acceptance of the assumption of Mary body and soul, based on the never declared doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, into heaven at the end of her earthly life (which would have been in the first century A.D.), he forced absolute heresy on the Church. The Masonic provoked apparitions of Mary were all banned until, unlawfully, Antipope Paul VI lifted the ban in 1969. The apparitions were the main force behind the push to approve the heretical doctrines of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Assumption of Mary. The apparition at Fatima of the Sun being turned around was prophesied by St. Hippolytus (martyred 236 A.D.) as Diabolic and of the Antichrist. When those two false doctrines of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Assumption of Mary were combined, at Vatican II and after, with the arch heretic and Communist Sergei Bulgakov’s heresies concerning Mary being a fourth hypostasis of God then this false Mary was transformed into the Antitheotokos which is the consort of the Antichrist, who will come to oppose the Church. The faithful of the Church must not and will not accept any of this. Christ alone is the Immaculate Conception by the Holy Spirit and the blessed virgin Mary and Christ alone is the first born from the dead in the flesh. Any early resurrection of Mary would make her a goddess which God will never do and she is not nor would she ever agree with or want such an abomination in her name. In Divine response to Pius XII’s immense and unacceptable blunder in eight years he was dead and the conclave in that year, 1958, saw the election of the first of several Antipopes, John XXIII, which ushered in the Great Apostasy of Vatican II; Cardinal Siri was rightfully elected at the 1958 conclave and was Pope Gregory XVII, but reigned in exile in silence due to the death threat against his family by the partisans of Antipope John XXIII and those Antipopes after John XXIII. Now that Siri has died in 1988, truly the throne is vacant. The Antipopes were and are John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;">The Church Fathers, especially as referred to here, are by definition an exact group ending with and not later than St. John Damascene in the East in the eighth century A.D. and in the West in the seventh century A.D. St. Isadore of Seville and Pope St. Gregory the Great, Pope of Rome (who said that any bishop who declared himself in charge of the whole Church, instead of all bishops, including the Pope of Rome, having no more than <u>equal</u> authority, with Rome among other Patriarchal sees and none of them coercing others, was in fact, the precursor of the Antichrist).</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;"></span> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </p><span style="VISIBILITY: hidden" woohoonamesaved="kenBurnsWoohoo"></span>SntMartyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11197760281270769367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762068053219172693.post-54412340813240134902008-07-25T20:34:00.000-07:002011-06-04T08:44:56.160-07:00False Gods<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="color:black;"></span></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="color:black;"></span></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"></span></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"></span></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"><span style="color:#000099;">FALSE GODS which men had strayed after in the ancient world</span><br /><br />Of course Jesus Christ taught men to worship the true God.<br /><br />Christians and Muslims both worship the true God.<br /><br />LILITH, ALLAH, TRIPLE ARABIAN GODDESS<br /><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;">The moon is not God</span></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="color:black;"></span></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Lilith is the most evil satanic goddess in the history of the world.

We Christians agree. Most High God is the Holy Trinity Adorable Unity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. The “Shemah” is what Moses taught the people of ancient Israel who God is. “Shemah Israel, <i>Yahweh Eloheuinu Yahweh echad” </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">is “Hear O Israel, Yahweh God plural (Trinity) is Yahweh unity of the plural”; the “Holy Trinity of three Persons, Adorable Unity” in Catholic profession of the true faith. Yahweh is the nature of God Himself and is not plural in this or in any confession of the True God. Yahweh unity of the plural is One God with the single nature of God, Yahweh. Yahweh God Plural refers to the three Persons of the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit who fully share the same nature of God, Yahweh and remain One God and not three. The Father is the fountainhead of the Triune God who is uncreated and the Son is monogenes (only engendered of the Father before all time and creation i.e. the Word of God) and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and is given without measure to the Son and acts and is sent through the Son. The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are immortal from eternity to eternity. In their oneness as the only God the Holy Spirit is the immortal bond of love of the Father and the Son.</span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic"></span></span><span style="color:black;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic"></span></span><span style="color:black;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">Jesus said:</span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">Mt:28:19:<br />19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. </span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;">The Shemah and the command to love God is in Deuteronomy 6:4, 5</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">4 ¶ Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">5<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>(DRV)</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">See Leviticus 19:18, Jesus went far beyond that.</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">Lv:19:18:</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">18<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Seek not revenge, nor be mindful of the injury of thy citizens.

Inasmuch, then, as in this world [world in Greek is “age” - the age of grace is meant] some persons betake themselves to the light, and by faith unite themselves with God, but others shun the light, and separate themselves from God, the Word of God comes preparing a fit habitation for both. For those indeed who are in the light, that they may derive enjoyment from it, and from the good things contained in it; but for those in darkness, that they may partake in its calamities. And on this account He says, that those upon the right hand are called into the kingdom of heaven, but that those on the left He will send into eternal fire for they have deprived themselves of all good.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(1, 1, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />2. And for this reason the apostle says: "Because they received not the love of God, that they might be saved, therefore God shall also send them the operation of error, that they may believe a lie, that they all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but consented to unrighteousness."(1) For when he (Antichrist) is come, and of his own accord concentrates in his own person the apostasy, and accomplishes whatever he shall do according to his own will and choice, sitting also inthe temple of God, so that his dupes may adore him as the Christ; wherefore also shall he deservedly "be cast into the lake of fire:"(2) [this will happen according to divine appointment], God by His prescience foreseeing all this, and at the proper time sending such a man, "that they may believe a lie, that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but consented to unrighteousness;" whose coming John has thus described in the Apocalypse: "And the beast which I had seen was like unto a leopard, and his feet as of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon conferred his own power upon him, and his throne, and great might. And one of his heads was as it were slain unto death; and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon because he gave power to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto this beast, and who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemy and power was given to him during forty and two months. And he opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. And power was given him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation. And all who dwell upon the earth worshipped him, [every one] whose name was not written in the book of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any one have ears, let him hear. If any one shall lead into captivity, he shall go into captivity. If any shall slay with the sword, he must be slain with the sword. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints."(3) After this he likewise describes his </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">armour-bearer</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">, whom he also terms a </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">false prophet</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">: "He spake as a dragon, and exercised all the power of the first beast in his sight, and caused the earth, and those that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he shall perform great wonders, so that he can even cause fire to descend from heaven upon the earth in the sight of men, and he shall lead the inhabitants of the earth astray."(4) Let no one imagine that he performs these wonders by divine power, but by the working of magic. And we must not be surprised if, since the demons and apostate spirits are at his service, he through their means performs wonders, by which he leads the inhabitants of the earth astray. John says further: "And he shall order an image of the beast to be made, and he shall give breath to the image, so that the image shall speak; and he shall cause those to be slain who will not adore it." He says also: "And he will cause a mark [to be put] in the forehead and in the fight hand, that no one may be able to buy or sell, unless he who has the mark of the name of the beast or the number of his name; and the number is six hundred and sixty-six,"(5) that is, six times a hundred, six times ten, and six units. [He gives this] as a summing up of the whole of that apostasy which has taken place during six thousand years. [A 'thousand years' is as a day and a day as a 'thousand years.' </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(1, 1, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:medium;" >A 'thousand years' is an age.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(1, 1, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:medium;" > The six ages leading up to Christ is meant.

Photius' teaching on Christ is simply an old heresy trying to divide Christ into two persons. The teaching on the hypostasis of the icon as the real presence of Christ the same as in the Eucharist is nothing other than sophist idolatry. The teaching on created energy divinising men is nothing other than polytheism. The idea, present in the Orthodox and the Oriental Churches, that the gods and goddesses of Egypt and Greece are types of the true God and His revelation of Himself is a lie from Satan and complete apostasy from the true God. It was this ‘Orthodox’ Church that originally proposed Ecumenism in the last few centuries, despite a few in their ranks claiming it was the Protestants. This ‘Orthodox’ Church has been the leader of Ecumenism including Demetrios I and his nonsense, on the island of Patmos of all places, provoking the Antipope John Paul II to the kind of nonsense that later with Bartholomew I, John Paul II perpetrated at Assisi. It is the Ecumenical Orthodox Church that claims the ecological Patriarch Bartholomew I (Gaia mother goddess of earth is the patroness of the ecologists). It was the Antipope John Paul II and the Heresiarch Bartholomew I that assembled in Assisi with about forty other Patriarchs and Metropolitans etc. of the Eastern 'Church' and a whole host of Catholic Cardinals and Bishops on January 24, 2002 for the totally apostate synchretist prayer meeting with leaders of every imaginable form of paganism including voodoo witchdoctors. It was Bartholomew I, Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, who dared to call the apostasy of the Assisi offence against God, "blessed are the peacemakers". </span></span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">It is the Ecumenical Orthodox 'Church' that is the self willed source of the energy of diabolic delusion that is marking men with the image of the beast.</span></span></strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color:black;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></strong></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">In opposition to the </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">traditional</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> Catholic and Orthodox Churches, this folks, is Ecumenism, an invention of Judeo-Freemasonry and Byzantine/Phanariot/Venetian/Swiss banking and with the full apostate complicity of the Novus Ordo pseudo church of the Antipope Benediktos.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:red;"></span></span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Jesus WARNED us of false prophets like Benedict XVI who promise peace but mean apostasy.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">BEWARE.

The Cumaean, Tiburtine and Delphic sibyls were the principal fortune tellers of the Roman empire which would convince the citizens of the empire of the will of Rome (the beast from the sea). The beast from the earth was the false prophet i.e. sorcerers and magicians and Caesar himself as pontifex maximus of the Roman religion. The three spirits out of the mouth of the dragon and the beast and the false prophet are the three sibyls above.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span> </span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The precursor in Egypt, of Tyche as mother goddess summation of all the gods/goddesses, is the triple goddess Isis represented and invocated as Selene-Mene-Hecate. This is the absolute worst of the virgin goddess of black magic/sorcery in the history of the world. The representation is Isis as sorceress in her lunar and chthonic form united to the sky above and ruler of earth in between standing on the globe of the world around which a serpent is coiled. One statue still extant today of Isis as this sorceress is the Farnese Isis (Naples Museum). She holds the Intaglio (magic ring of the serpent uroboros, the serpent that eats it own tail). The formula of consecration is invoked by the power of the serpent with the crescent moon with two stars one on each end of the horns of the crescent moon forming the tang of the sorcerer/sorceress with the sun of Abraxas, the ancient god of all sorcery and black magic surmounted above that. Any resemblance to the false representation of Mary as the Immaculate Conception especially as shown on the so-called "Miraculous Medal" standing on the globe of the earth is NOT ACCIDENTAL.</span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">In the fifth/sixth century A.D. the Syrian writings of Pseudo-Dionysios first appeared and were later added to. In this the ancient pagan idea of synthesizing, that is combining all the ancient gods/goddesses, an idea going back to the Graeco-Egyptian Hermes Trimegistus (Apollyon appearing as Hermes thrice blessed - a pagan false trinity), was put forth in gnostic psuedo christian dress. Included was Mary as the summation of all that is divine, i. e. the mother triple goddess. Sergei Bulgakov was condemned by his own church, the Russian Orthodox Church, as a heretic, in the first part of the 20th century for this same thing, in which Bulgakov attempted to make Mary the Hupostasis of God and the divinity by which each of the Three Persons of the Most Holy Trinity of the True God is approached and in no other way. In short, it is a sophism to make her the triple goddess and replace the worship of the True Trinity with polytheistic/pantheism. This worship of Satan in place of the True God, the Most Holy Trinity will only bring utter destruction upon the earth. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">In the summation of all Heresies and Apostasies and Blaspheming of the Holy Spirit known as Vatican II, Bulgakov's blasphemous system was inculcated by name and in this same false teaching of Bulgakov to make the Antitheotokos the virgin goddess of black magic to support all of the false apparitions (heretofor condemned), supposedly of Mary, and make these apparitions accepted and thereby bring in KNOWINGLY the Gnostic evolutionary Monism - Pantheism of this "ecumenical council of thieves". </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span> </span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:black;"></span> </span></span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">For instance the Gnostics, according to the Church Fathers, basing themselves on the Naasseni (the apostate Jewish serpent worshipping Satanist priesthood cult which is the base for all Kabalah and the Zohar) copied much of their doctrine from Platonism, Graeco-Egyptian paganism and far eastern religiosity and claimed, totally falsely, that this is what Jesus taught. It is not at all what Jesus taught nor at all what Moses taught. The Gnostic doctrines are obvious in this plagiarizing of paganism and denial of the true Jesus Christ. In the East the Buddhist teaching of how Sakyamuni (Gotama), the Buddha, obtained his “enlightenment” is obviously diabolic and has a great deal in common with Graeco-Egyptian mysticism in the west; especially this is extremely similar to Simon Magus’ portrayal of himself entwined with snakes in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as a man-god to be sought after as the ultimate teacher of true knowledge. The prime example: The Dragon Flower Tree (the banyan or pipal [fig] tree) from which the great white serpent from the abyss (the devil) granted Gotama (the Buddha) his “enlightenment” which consisted of his denying the I AM and being his own saviour.

<span style="color: #010100;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Now the virginity of Mary was hidden from the prince of this world, as was also her offspring, and the death of the Lord; three mysteries of renown,(5) which were wrought in silence by(6) God. How, then, was He manifested to the world?(7) A star shone forth in heaven above all the other stars, the light of Which was inexpressible, while its novelty struck men with astonishment. And all the rest of the stars, with the sun and moon, formed a chorus to this star, and its light was exceedingly great above them all. And there was agitation felt as to whence this new spectacle came, so unlike to everything else [in the heavens]. Hence every kind of magic was destroyed, and every bond of wickedness disappeared; ignorance was removed, and the old kingdom abolished, God Himself being manifested in human form for the renewal of eternal life. And now that took a beginning which had been prepared by God. Henceforth all things were in a state of tumult, because He mediated the abolition of death. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"></span></span></div>

She also believes these points of doctrine just as if she had but one soul, and one and the same heart, and she proclaims them, and teaches them, and hands them down, with perfect harmony, as if she possessed only one mouth. For, although the languages of the world are dissimilar, yet the import of the tradition is one and the same. For the Churches which have been planted in Germany do not believe or hand down anything different, nor do those in Spain, nor those in Gaul, nor those in the East, nor those in Egypt, nor those in Libya, nor those which have been established in the central regions </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">the world { Jerusalem, the mother of all the Churches is here referred to }.

For the faith being ever one and the same, neither does one who is able at great length to discourse regarding it, make any addition to it, nor does one, who can say but little, diminish it. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"></span></span></div>
