By now, everyone has heard and possibly seen on Twitter and/or Instagram the #boycottdolcegabbana
or the #boycotteltonjohn debacle by the, oh-so-tolerant liberal gay rights
crowd but if you haven’t, here’s a quick recap…[links to all sources used below]
Gay fashion designers and ex-lovers Dolce & Gabbana gave
an interview recently that didn’t sit well with other gays like Sir Elton John
because Gabbana dared to share his personal opinion that IVF is not how
families should be created and that children should have both a mother and a father.
Oh the horror!! A gay
man who supports a man+woman=baby=family point of view!
Gabbana made it clear he opposed using “chemistry” to make “synthetic
children” or to “rent a womb”.
Here is the [poor] Google translation of the article:
This was just too much for poor old Sir Elton John and his
gay lover who have children they are raising together as a “family”. So distraught was old Sir Elton that he got
on social media sending up a war cry against the entire Dolce & Gabbana
fashion franchise.
They must be stopped!!
They must be made to pay for having an opinion that differs
from old Sir Elton!
After Sir Elton John blew his stack asking everyone to
boycott Dolce & Gabbana products, others joined in because of course no
one, absolutely no one is allowed to have a different opinion than the liberal
left.
If you dare to have an individual
thought or opinion that isn’t approved by the Left, you are boycotted instantly
for such an infraction against progressivism.
Gabbana fires back at the hypocritical intolerance of Elton John and his groupies on Instragram...
Sir Elton apparently was all talk and no action or he got Gabbana's message loud and clear, because just a few days later he was seen shopping carrying a Dolce & Gabbana bag!
If you don’t tote the line with gay activists and liberals they are like a
feeding frenzy turning even on their own.
Remember that the next time you hear one of them speak of “tolerance” or being “accepting” of other people for who they are or having their own opinions.
The cleansing of God’s Holy Catholic Church has begun. Oh it’s a slow process, but its happening and I am
thrilled to see it.
When Priests and Bishops STAND UP for the official teachings
of the Catholic faith and fight back against the bullying liberals/progressives
in the Church a wonderful thing happens… a purging inside the Church. Here are a few examples...
First an openly gay Jesuit priest left the Church because he was
heartbroken that the Catholic Church won’t support gay marriage and he felt hated because he was gay…
Quote: “Over time, I realized I could not be part of
an institution that hated me. I thought of the anti-gay legislation in
countries like Uganda and Russia. I didn’t want to be part of an organization
with similar policies, whereLGBT Catholics are fired for loving their
partners, for being the selves God created, the selves God delights in.” [end
quote]
Newsflash: God does NOT “delight in” homosexual
relationships- He calls them ABOMINATIONS and gays "loving their partners" is called FORNICATION- a MORTAL SIN. You'd think (hope & pray) that a priest (even a Jesuit) would at least know the basics of the Catholic faith!
The ex-Jesuit gay progressive priest whines some more…
Quote: “I’ve since left
the priesthood and have pursued a different religious life with the Episcopal
church. But I am not the only victim.
LGBTQ Roman Catholics are being fired from employment, simply because of their
sexuality.”
“victim”? How is he a
“victim”? He entered a Church that for
THOUSANDS of years has said marriage is between 1 man+1 woman and when he sees
the Church live that belief he suddenly becomes a “victim”?
Oh BOO FREAKING HOO!
The good news is this progressive ex-Jesuit has now gone to the Episcopalian’s where they vote on what
is and is not sin and where he will no longer have the opportunity to corrupt Catholics from inside the Church. Think of all the future Catholics who will now be saved from listening to this progressive homosexual who sees nothing wrong with “gay loving partners”. This IS a blessing for Catholic laity, though not for him unless he repents.
There is another cleansing victory...
Some gay “marriage” loving progressive 'Catholics' who like their
fornicators fornicating, decided to leave their parish (St. Leo’s Catholic
Church, Montana) when their Sodomite buddies were told they could no longer
have Holy Communion because they were in MORTAL sin. [Imagine that, a person being told they need to repent of their sin before receiving Holy Communion!] It started with a choir director [Shupe] who just
couldn’t believe a Catholic parish would deny a fornicating gay “married” couple HOLY
Communion and then spread to other parishioners just as stupefied as Shupe.
“Huff [one of the gay ‘marriage’ men in
the controversy] walked out of the rectory and decided he better tell choir
director Janie Shupe that neither he or Wojtowick would be able to help out
that Saturday night. Shupe was distraught. She had moved to Lewistown 23 years
before. For 20 of those years at St. Leo’s, she has served as director ofmusic liturgyand choir director. The choir of 30-plus people was like a
second family, Shupe said. After Huff broke the news, “I just felt like my
world had fallen out beneath me,” she said in a telephone interview Thursday. She
called and spoke with [Father] Spiering. Unhappy with his response, she told
the priest she’d turn in her resignation the next day."
“I can’t believe this is the church I
believed in for so many years,” Shupe said. “I thought we were moving forward,
and we did have a very joyous, very vibrant community going all these years.
It feels like we’ve been thrust back in the dark ages.”At first, she stopped going to church
altogether. Then she decided to attend St. James Episcopal Church “because it’s
the closest thing I’ve known my entire life.” [end quote]
“Thurst
back in the dark ages” for following Catholic teaching about mortal sin and the Eucharist?
Catechism
1385 To respond to this invitation we must prepare ourselves for so great and so holy a moment. St. Paul urges us to examine our conscience: "Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself." 218 Anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before coming to communion.
1395 By the same charity that it enkindles in us, the Eucharist preserves us from future mortal sins. The more we share the life of Christ and progress in his friendship, the more difficult it is to break away from him by mortal sin. The Eucharist is not ordered to the forgiveness of mortal sins - that is proper to the sacrament of Reconciliation. The Eucharist is properly the sacrament of those who are in full communion with the Church.
Is her parish so lacking that she’s never
heard this teaching? That she doesn't know the Church says fornication and gay "marriage" are MORTAL sins?
Guess not, so she too sets off and joins the “vote on sin”
Episcopal church where she can fully support fornication and gay sex and no one
will tell her it’s a sin.
More progressives are purged from the Church…
Quote from the priest Fr. Spiering who denied the gay couple
Holy Communion: “About 350 people attend weekend Mass at St. Leo’s. Some
people have left since the conflict came to light, [Father] Spiering
acknowledged, while others have expressed their gratitude for Spiering
upholding the teachings of the church.”
You’d think the laity would be more concerned about the mortal sin these gay men are in, sin that sends people to Hell, but oh no! They were too devastated that the gay lovers were denied Communion- no care at all for the homosexual couple’s souls headed for eternal torment in Hell.
Talk about having your priorities wrong!
“However,
they are called passions of ignominy because they are not
worthy of being named, according to that passage in Ephesians (5:12): ‘For the
things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.’ For if
the sins of the flesh are commonly censurable because they lead man to that
which is bestial in him, much more so is the sin against nature, by which man
debases himself lower than even his animal nature.” (St. Thomas Aquinas,Super
Epistulas Sancti Pauli Ad Romanum I, 26, pp. 27f)
These type of sinners DO NOT BELONG IN THE CHURCH! Really, the Bible says so![quote below]
Oh don’t get your panties in a bunch, I am not saying there
are no sinners in the Church. The Church
is FULL of sinners as She should be. She
is the only one through Christ’s Sacraments that can absolve the sinner of
their sins – provided the sinner confesses those sins and seeks absolution. These are repentant sinners. Sinners willing to admit when they fall, accepting Church authority and
seeking to do a better job of turning from sin in the future. That is key issue #1 (there is another).
Those are the sinners the Church was created for. Sinners with a heart for God, sinners who hate their sin and wish to be forgiven for them. Sinners who are contrite, humbled and asking for forgiveness.
The prideful sinners who refuse to acknowledge their sins or repent[that is the key
issue #2 here] of their sins are NOT supposed to be holding leadership positions [be it religious education teachers, choir directors, ushers etc] in parishes corrupting others. People in parish leadership positions are to be in GOOD moral standing with the Church. They should NOT be abortionists, 'married' gay couples, adulterers/fornicators, etc who continue to wallow in their sins with no thought of repenting. These sinners do NOT
have a heart for God, they have a lust and greed and selfishness to continue living in their
sin. And often a desire to change society to accept their sin as “normal” and
ultimately to redefine their sin as no sin at all. This happens all the time within assorted Protestant denominations and secular society, but it should NOT be allowed INSIDE Christ's Holy Catholic Church.
Note this scripture [below] is about those INSIDE THE CHURCH- not
unbelievers whom we MUST reach out to with the Gospel Message so they can
repent and enter the Church. The instruction
from St. Paul in the Bible is for the Church to be CLEANSED of ALL the sexually
immoral MEMBERS INSIDEthe Church. The Sacraments are to be denied to them (to all of us) who remain in Mortal Sin- that is our Faith. [*Yes, I know this scripture isn't JUST about homosexuals, but homosexuals and their supporters leaving the Church is the topic of this discussion*] The Church used to do this. It’s call excommunication and it’s a rarity
these days hence the tsunami of corruption flooding the Catholic Church today.'
1 Corinthians 5 - New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
(NRSVCE)
Sexual
Immorality Defiles the Church
5 1"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father’s wife.2 And you are arrogant! Should you not rather have mourned, so that he who has done this would have been removed from among you?3 For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if
present I have already pronounced judgment4 in the
name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing.When you are assembled, and my spirit is present with the power of our Lord Jesus,5you are
to hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
6 Your boasting is not a good thing. Do you not know that a little
yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?7Clean
out the old yeast so that you may be a
new batch, as you really are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been
sacrificed.8 Therefore, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast,
the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and
truth."
Sexual Immorality Must Be Judged
9 "I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually
immoral persons—10 not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and
robbers, or idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world.11 But now
I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother
or sisterwho is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler,
drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one.12 For
what have I to do with judging those outside? Is it not those who are inside that you are to judge?13 God
will judge those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”
Notice that bit there?
That we ARE to judge those INSIDE the Church based on their immoral behavior,
while God will judge those OUTSIDE the Church. THAT is the Word of God. Also notice that Saint Paul says he "has already pronounced judgement" on the sexually immoral INSIDE the Church? If Saint Paul is judging the sexually immoral why can't our Pope?
I guess Pope Francis never read that verse. So we ARE to judge those inside the Church by their sins [clearly these are visible sins- like gays getting 'married', etc]. Then we rebuke the sinner in their sin so they can repent. They can't repent if no one tells them what sin they are in that needs to be confessed and repented of. If they repent, we slaughter the fattened calf and welcome them back and the angels in Heaven celebrate!
Luke 15:10(RSVCE) 10"Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
If they REFUSE to repent and work to destroy and corrupt the Church from inside we are "to have nothing to do with them- do not even eat with such people". THAT is what the Word of God says.
SaintBernardine of Siena (1380-1444) "No sin in the world grips the soul as the accursed sodomy; this
sin has always been detested by all those who live according to God.… Deviant
passion is close to madness; this vice disturbs the intellect, destroys
elevation and generosity of soul, brings the mind down from great thoughts to
the lowliest, makes the person slothful, irascible, obstinate and obdurate,
servile and soft and incapable of anything; furthermore, agitated by an
insatiable craving for pleasure, the person follows not reason but frenzy.…
They become blind and, when their thoughts should soar to high and great
things, they are broken down and reduced to vile and useless and putrid things,
which could never make them happy.... Just as people participate in the glory
of God in different degrees, so also in hell some suffer more than others.
He who lived with this vice of sodomy suffers more than another,for
this is the greatest sin."
[St. Bernardine of Siena, Sermon XXXIX in Prediche volgari,
pp. 896-897, 915. ]
There is NO PLACE inside the Holy Catholic Church for
UNREPENTING sinners who seek to corrupt the Faith and turn people away from God's Truth. These people are protesting the Faith- they are Protestants who live under the title "Catholic". They seek the RUIN of Christ's Holy Catholic Church and the ruin of souls. They are dangerous. Sacred Scripture
demands we “Drive
out the evil person from among you!” [1 Cor. 5:13] for the good of everyone.
To be clear, I don't want these people to be lost, but I also don't want them corrupting the faithful INSIDE the Church and spreading their heretical beliefs to others. I would LOVE to see them all repent and return to full communion with Christ's Holy Catholic Church- but that is entirely up to them. They MUST admit they are in sin, confess their sins to a priest and truly repent- that is turn from their mortal sin, not embrace it and march with banners down Main street proudly trumpeting their sin. That is my prayer for them- true repentance, but while they are in mortal sin corrupting others with their ideas/theology I do NOT want to see them teaching religious education to children or adults, leading the choir, being ushers, deacons or priests or anything else. I am in fact happy to see these progressive liberals leaving the Church because it means they can do no more damage from inside the Church. The purging of the Church is damage control. Jesus doesn’t want the corrupt running
loose inside His Church corrupting others and leading them into sin and to
eternal Hell. To prevent that from happening,
we have Sacred Scripture's words telling us to “Drive out the wicked person from
among you!” I'm afraid Saint Paul's words are falling on too many deaf ears these days.
If only our Church would heed these instructions and protect us from the corrupt progressives inside our Church.
In Christ,
Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner
One last interesting Saint quote [new to me] …
Saint Bonaventure, speaking in a
sermon at the church of Saint Mary of Portiuncula about the miracles that took
place simultaneously with the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, narrates this:
“Seventh prodigy: All sodomites—men and women—died all over the earth,
as Saint Jerome said in his commentary on the psalm ‘The light was born for the
just.’ This made it clear that He was born to reform nature and promote
chastity.” (St. Bonaventure,Sermon
XXI—In Nativitate Domini,inCatolicismo(Campos/Sao Paulo), December 1987, p.
3; F. Bernardei, op. cit., p. 11)
Catholic
Catechism: Chastity and homosexuality
2357Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who
experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the
same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in
different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained.
Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of
grave depravity,141tradition
has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically
disordered."142They
are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life.
They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under
no circumstances can they be approved.
2358The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual
tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively
disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with
respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in
their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will
in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the
Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359Homosexual
persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them
inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer
and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach
Christian perfection.
Some important
quotes to think about before you read this post…
"According to
their knowledge, competence and prestige which they possess, [the Christian
faithful] have the right and even at the times the duty to manifest to the
sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church
and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful"- Canon Law 212 Section 3
"Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is
to suppress it; and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it,
is no less a sin than to encourage them." -Pope St. Felix III
"When all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this great
perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those
evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be already in
the world the "Son of Perdition" of whom the Apostle speaks (II.
Thess. ii., 3). Such, in truth, is the audacity and the wrath employed
everywhere in persecuting religion, in combating the dogmas of the faith, in brazen
effort to uproot and destroy all relations between man and the Divinity! While,
on the other hand, and this according to the same apostle is the distinguishing
mark of Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put himself in the place of
God, raising himself above all that is called God; in such wise that although
he cannot utterly extinguish in himself all knowledge of God, he has contemned
God's majesty and, as it were, made of the universe a temple wherein he himself
is to be adored. 'He sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as if he
were God' " (II. Thess. ii., 2). -Pope St. Pius X, E Supremi
"If the faith is in imminent peril, prelates ought to be accused by their
subjects, even in public." -St. Thomas Aquinas
"The greatest obstacle in the apostolate of the Church is the timidity or
rather the cowardice of the faithful."-Pope St. Pius X
"When lies have been accepted for some time, the truth always astounds
with an air of novelty."- St. Clement of Alexandria
Progressive “Catholics”
as they call themselves (they don’t like to be called “liberal” anymore) are on
the march and growing INSIDE our Church.
They are not just in our laity, but also within our clergy as you will
see.
During this year’s
2013 WYD they heard Pope Francis say, “… I want to
see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the
mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools
or structures. Because these need to get out!"
And from that
they have determined that Pope Francis is going to “decentralize” the Catholic
Church and make way for all new theology- gay marriages, women priests,
abortion, birth control, a democratic Catholic Church where the laity vote for
bishops and popes and more.
Yes, that is
what they want.
*facepalm*
They look to
Hans Kung (who in my opinion SHOULD have been excommunicated and tossed OUT on
his backside decades ago for the HERETIC he is) for his view of Vatican II and
how the Catholic Church of the future should be:
“While no reasonable person will expect
that all reforms can be effected by one man overnight, a shift would be
possible in five years….But today the direction should be made clear again: not
a restoration to pre-council times as there was under Pope John Paul II and
Benedict XVI, but instead considered, planned and well-communicated steps to
reform along the lines of the Second Vatican Council,” says Hans Kung” [quote
from CatholicChurchReform.com]
Their plan is essentially to turn the Holy
Catholic and Apostolic Church into another protestant denomination while
maintaining the title “Catholic” and claiming the Vatican.
Unfortunately, (again) SOME Catholic Bishop’s
turn a blind eye to this heresy and do…well, NOTHING. *Examples to follow*
Pope Benedict XVI (among some controversy
at the time) sat down to dinner with Hans Kung, a well known euthanasia
supporter. Kung, while forbidden from
TEACHING Catholic theology (a true blessing, trust me!),still retains priestly
faculties because neither his Bishop nor any Pope has revoked them.
*sigh*
Is it ANY wonder why we have Catholics the
likes of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden publicly declaring they ARE Catholic
while at the same time FLAUNTING their heretical beliefs without a Bishop in
site to stop them?
THAT my friends is what is wrong with the
Church today- rotten heretics IN the Church.
"The greatest obstacle in the apostolate of
the Church is the timidity or rather the cowardice of the faithful."-Pope
St. Pius X
For a Bishop, to NOT correct heretical
beliefs in the Church is to allow them to grow and spread like a disease.
What can we think of this?
Are the Bishops too lazy?
Maybe some.
Are SOME of the Bishops themselves corrupt
and holding heretical beliefs?
Yes.
We’ve seen the proof of that not only in the clergy abuse tragedy, but
also in (too many to count) dioceses where liturgical abuses occur (who can
forget Father Fred Bailey and his Halloween Masses where he dresses like Barney
the dinosaur and has women dressed as red devils handing out the Eucharist to
people like trick-or-treaters) and in some areas with entire parishes are
working hard to ensure gay marriage by having parades and fund raisers right
under the Bishop’s noses. Either those
Bishops are completely clueless or they just don’t care. Either way, they are inept and are failing
Holy Mother Church and Her commission from Jesus.
Here is Father Fred Bailey (still going
strong with his Bishop’s blessing)
http://youtu.be/khco_N-uEOY
Sadly there are many, many more like him in
our Church.
From liturgical abuses to flat out heresy,
some of our Bishops are COMPLETELY failing in their duties as Bishop to CORRECT
parish priests AND the laity. Other
Bishops are PUBLICLY PROMOTING HERESY!
Yes, it’s true.
Some examples of what I mean…
“At a conference in Pittsburgh, sponsored by New Ways Ministry, Bishops
Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit and Matthew Clark of Rochester, New York,
encouraged homosexuals to be active in the Church, and suggested that in time
the Catholic Church would approve homosexual unions. “ And from the same article: “Sister Margaret Farley of Yale Divinity School made the astonishing assertion:
"None of the sources of Christian ethics, I would argue, yields reasons to
condemn homosexual acts or relationships as such." What sort of people would participate in such
an assault on Catholic tradition? The answer to that question highlights the danger
to the Church. Francis DeBernardo, the head of New Ways Ministry, told a
reporter that nearly half of the people attending the conference were Catholic
priests or nun, and perhaps as many as 75 percent of the participants were
engaged in some form of religious education or diocesan ministry. So the people
who are being encouraged to distort the Church's teachings will now go back to
their own diocesan jobs, and spread the message of dissent.”
This “Jesuit”
University promotes the “gay agenda” that the Church officially rejects!
“Several official departments at the University of San Francisco
not only encouraged students to take part in the city’s LGBT (Lesbian Gay
Bisexual Transgender) Pride Parade on June 30 but also provided free t-shirts
to students and their guests who signed up to march.According to the Pride
Parade site, the University of San Francisco LGBTQ Caucus for Faculty/Staff
marched behind Planned Parenthood and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.”
More from the same article:
“Ironically, the University lists the McCarthy Center on its websiteextolling
its mission as a Jesuit university. It states, “Experience Jesuit Values at
USF.”
"Not to oppose error is
to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it; and indeed to neglect
to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage
them." -Pope St. Felix III
**Now I know
some of you don’t like me defending Michael Voris, but let me just interject
something here.
Michael Voris’
internet show was previously called “RealCatholicTV.com” because it stuck with
OFFICIAL “real” Catholic teachings backed up by the catechism. The Archdiocese of Detroit demanded that
Voris not use the word “Catholic” any longer because under Canon Law 216 ‘no undertaking is to claim the name
'Catholic' without the consent of competent ecclesiastical authority’, so in
the end Voris changed the title from “RealCatholicTV” to “ChurchMilitantTV”. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Voris ]
Now here’s the
rub… WHY do SOME Bishops target Catholic laity who ARE teaching and sharing
official Church doctrine, yet turn a blind eye- or WORSE -SUPPORT Catholics who
PUBLICLY oppose official Church doctrine?
Why?
Why are “Catholic”
Universities supporting things that contradict Catholic teaching? Why are Pro-Abortion “Catholic” politicians
allowed to cause scandal by publicly receiving Holy Communion regardless of
THAT Canon Law #915 that forbids it? [Canon Law #915 http://www.ewtn.com/library/CANONLAW/burkcompol.HTM]
Did no one
see these sparks of heresy growing into a forest fire?
Have we
learned NOTHING from heresies in the past?
Heresy does
not fade away. It must be STAMPED OUT.
Like the
flame in the forest, you MUST put it out or it will burn down the forest.
The Catholic
Church today has a forest fire taking up its real-estate and most people are
too blind to see the flames around them.
Others, (like me) are choking on the black smoke that is billowing out
of Her and we want to help.
We want our
Bishops to STAMP OUT the heresies, stop clergy abuse, stop scandal and stop
fanning the flames with their “If we ignore it, it will go away” approach.
It won’t go
away.
On the “CatholicChurchReform.com”
website, a recent blog post ran with the Martin Luther King “I have a dream”
speech and wrote their own “dream speech” for how they would like the Holy Catholic
Church to be. (Warning: you might want to vomit, so don’t read this on a full
stomach)
“I dream of a Church that is inclusive of all faiths.
When they come to share in our liturgy they are also welcomed to share the
Eucharist with us. I have a dream. I dream that the Church will become
less clerical encouraging more of a voice from the people of
God. I dream that the baptized faithful are encouraged to take an active
role in the selection of their bishops in every diocese throughout
the world. I have a dream. As we face a shortage of priests to lead our Church,
I dream of a time when celibacy would be optional and when women
would be given an expanded role in the Church. I dream of a Church that
encourages the faithful to exercise their conscience in matters of faith and
morals. In such instances as the use of birth control or divorce and
remarriage, the faithful would be encouraged to receive
the Sacraments if their conscience guides them to do so. Already,
with the election of Francis, I no longer have to dream of a Church that recognizes
that Jesus died for all who do good, not just for Catholics. I no longer have
to dream of a Church that embraces atheists and those who love and share their
lives with those of the same sex. Pope Francis is giving me hope. I have a
dream that reform is coming to our Church and that we, as members of the
Church, will have a part in supporting the pope to bring this about. I have a
dream.” [Source: http://catholicchurchreform.com/blog/?p=43]
This “dream” is
NOT the Holy Catholic Church that Christ created. This “dream” is just another protestant
denomination – but progressives are NOT happy with merely creating ANOTHER
protestant denomination- no. They want to FORCE the real Church to change for
them.
Sound
familiar?
True Marriage
- gay “unions” – gay “marriage”. They
wanted the term “marriage” so the nation had to REDEFINE what “marriage” meant.
Now these
progressives what to REDEFINE what the Catholic Church is!
*head
explodes*
The Apostles
didn’t ignore the heretics and wish them away.
Neither did the Council of Trent.
So why are
heretics IN the Church TODAY not dealt with as in the past?
Too high
up? Too much trouble? Not enough good men willing to take on the
task of REALLY “cleaning house” within the Church? I don’t know the answer or even if there is
ONE answer. That’s far above my pay
grade, as the saying goes.
What I think
is, we don’t need ONE good Pope to do it.
We need ALL practicing laity and the GOOD clergy- together, from laity to deacon to parish priest to Bishop to SPEAK
UP! Point your fingers at the heretics
IN and OUT of the Church and let them be known!
Or as the
Council of Trent put it… “LET HIM BE ANATHEMA!”[Meaning excommunicated]
Do you have a
wonderful Bishop? Tell the world about
him!
Pray for
him! Thank him! Ask God to strengthen him so that he can do
what Christ calls him to do. And then
thank God you have that Bishop!
We have great
and wonderful Bishops and they MUST have our support.
Do you know a
progressive “Catholic”? Teach him/her
the TRUTH. It might not be entirely
their fault they are “progressive”!
"When lies have been accepted for some
time, the truth always astounds with an air of novelty."- St. Clement of
Alexandria
If they
belong to a liberal leaning/progressive parish they are being spoon fed heresy
and it’s corrupting their thinking.
You can
change that! You can put out the fire of
heresy and keep it from spreading to others.
Plant the
seeds of Truth every chance you get. You
just might be the ONLY one they hear the Truth from. You can change a person’s life and lead them
to the path of salvation simply by telling them the Truth of God’s Word.
And don’t
neglect to correct the “progressive” clergy either. Just because they are
clergy doesn’t mean you can’t approach them with your concerns.
Write them letters
filled with quotes from the catechism, Saints and Popes showing them the Truth
of the Church.
"According to
their knowledge, competence and prestige which they possess, [the Christian
faithful] have the right and even at the times the duty to manifest to the
sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church
and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful"- Canon Law 212 Section 3
And remember…
"When all this is considered there is good
reason to fear lest this great perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and
perhaps the beginning of those evils which are reserved for the last days; and
that there may be already in the world the "Son of Perdition" of whom
the Apostle speaks (II. Thess. ii., 3). Such, in truth, is the audacity and the
wrath employed everywhere in persecuting religion, in combating the dogmas of
the faith, in brazen effort to uproot and destroy all relations between man and
the Divinity! While, on the other hand, and this according to the same apostle
is the distinguishing mark of Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put
himself in the place of God, raising himself above all that is called God; in
such wise that although he cannot utterly extinguish in himself all knowledge
of God, he has contemned God's majesty and, as it were, made of the universe a
temple wherein he himself is to be adored. 'He sitteth in the temple of God,
showing himself as if he were God' " (II. Thess. ii., 2). -Pope St. Pius
X, E Supremi
Are we
fighting against the “Son of Perdition” or FOR him?
Catholics
must FIGHT FOR YOUR FAITH. Don’t let the
progressives gain any more ground. Teach
TRUE Catholicism! Call out the
heretics! Expose the lies being fed to
the mass AT our Masses and beyond.
As Sacred
Scripture says (which is the motto of this blog) “Do not allow what you
consider good to be spoken of as evil.” Romans 14:16
Our Holy
Catholic and Apostolic Church IS GOOD as are Her teachings. Don’t let anyone
tell you anything less.
