2012 TOTAL SUBMISSION
(Three
American Presidents kneel at the corpse of the late John Paul II)
Throughout Rome's long and bloody history, the one
thing that she has always and consistently demanded of the world is total submission,
no matter what.
"Pope Gregory was the first who claimed, as the
representative of Deity, to be above all the kings of the world" (Grattan Guinness, Romanism
and the Reformation, p. 18.)
Pope Leo XII also gave himself total dominion over
the whole earth; he now saw himself as God (Great Encyclical Letters, p.
193, 304.)
With this new power in hand, popes (prior to the
Second Vatican Council) actually had the authority in many cases, to personally choose
world leaders (Catholic Encyclopaedia, Vol. II, p. 666.)
Or, in the words of pope Boniface VIII:
"The Pope is of so great dignity and excellence,
that he is not merely man, but as if God, and the vicar of God. The Pope alone is
called most Holy Divine monarch, and supreme emperor, and king of kings. The pope
is of great dignity and power, that he constitutes one and the same tribunal with
Christ, so that whatsoever the pope does seems to proceed from the mouth of God. The
pope is as God on earth."
In 1949 Pope Pius XII told his priests, how they
were not obliged to submit to civil authorities in whatever country they resigned
(Catholic Encyclopaedia, Vol. XIV, p. 779.)
"The king of England [15th century] agreed to hold
his kingdom as the pope's feudatory and to pay him annually one hundred thousand marks
as an acknowledgment...Then the great and valiant emperor of Germany stood for three
winter days and nights barefoot in the courtyard of his holiness, waiting
for the honour of an audience, in which he might beg the pope's pardon for having
acted as an independent monarch!" (Guinness, p. 48,49.)
Pope John Paul II's long reign had only been successful,
due to the iron grip and fear that he had had on his church, with his army of priests
worldwide feeling the wrath.
During his time on his throne, he had excommunicated
and censored some theologians and bishops, which hadn't agreed with him on his churches
teachings (and some non-areas of theology too.)
(The Vatican, much like the Jehovah's Witnesses
and pretty much all cults for that matter, view themselves as a modern day theocratic
organization, which sees only "their leaders" being privileged to "receive special
revelation from Heaven, or in occult circles, to be "channelled" via the Holy Spirit,
or so they would have the ignorant believe.)
Second Vatican
Council
According to the Catholic writer, John Cornwell, Joseph
Ratzinger before becoming pope, gave a speech in Spain, in which he commented
about the inquisition as being:
"Not as dark as is thought." He went on further
to justify it by saying: "It fought against fanaticism" and its methods were "much
more humane" than is generally appreciated (Sunday Times, 23/8/98.)
Although the official bloodthirsty inquisition has long
ceased, Cromwell stated the following about a new wave of inquisition that commenced
in 1903, under pope Pius X and dubbed the "black terror," but this time using more
indirect and subtle methods of controlling and silencing those who'd dare rebel and
question their churches views and beliefs:
"Sister Lavina is a Roman Catholic nun, a member
of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary.... Bryne wrote a book published in 1994
called Women on the Altar. It modestly advocated ordination for women....
copies of the book quickly sold out in Britain...at the behest of the Vatican, the
press recently removed the 1300 copies of the book it had left. It is deciding whether
to incinerate or pulp them. Byrne has no idea who reported, or "delated", her book
to Rome. But she believes it was the work of right-wing Catholic women in England
who target women "dissidents" and bombard the Vatican with complaining letters and
calls for radical action."
Cromwell again states the following about this new
wave of inquisition:
"To silence the modernists, he [pope Pius X] established
a worldwide spy and propaganda network. It was directed by a grotesque individual
- clumsy, overweight, myopic, with steel-rimmed spectacles - called Umberto Benigni.
A former journalist and editor, Benigni used the
most up-to-date media methods, stringers, telegrams, copying machines, to collect
anonymous information on Catholic priests and scholars the world over.
He had a liking for secret codes and nicknames,
referring to Pius X in his cables as "Mama"....at Benigni's suggestion, Pius X insisted
that Catholic ordinands must take an anti-modernist oath. This involved assent to
all papal teaching, both as to content and as to the "sense" in which the Vatican
meant it to be understood.
Such internal assent went beyond anything dreamt
up even by Stalin or the worst imaginings of George Orwell. The oath survives to this
day in a new but similarly encompassing formula taken by Catholic ordinands, seminary
teachers and Catholic university theologians.
The pernicious result of Pius X's campaign was the
shackling of free and imaginative Catholic thinking, discussion and writing for the
next 50 years. In the 1950s, a number of Catholic thinkers attempted to break out
of the constraints imposed by Pius X, but Pius XII resumed the campaign.
In an encyclical entitled Of Human Nature,
he declared that, once the pope has pronounced on a topic of faith or morals, all
discussion must end, even among competent theologians.
Finally, Cornwell quotes Catholic theologian, Bernard Haring about his contempt for the Vatican "thought police:"
"I would prefer Hitler's courts, he said, to another
papal interrogation. Hitler's trials were certainly more dangerous, but they were
not an offence to my honour."
The Times, on 16th June 2004 reported how the Vatican had issued a statement in which they once again tried to play down their bloodthirsty past.
They claimed that out of the 125,000 known trials
of suspected "heretics" in Spain, about 1% of the defendants were executed, far fewer
than commonly believed. Many of the burnings at the stake were carried out by civil
rather than religious tribunals.
Pope John Paul II also said:
"That actions which had disfigured the face of the
Church had to be viewed in their historical context."
While it is true that some people distort history
to suit their own hidden agenda, it must also be said that the Catholic church is
certainly guilty of this. And while Rome to this day insists this "programming," much
like the way the Chinese do to their citizens, was in the best interest of the "heretic,"
isn't it more truthful to say that this was done primarily for one purpose: keep the
power over the people and not to lose their financial empire.
We find exactly the same thing in Scripture: "If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation....then from that day forth they took "counsel" together for to put him to death" (John 11:48-53.)
So one would do well to take heed to the above verse and Rome's bloody past in general, and not allow oneself to be deceived or groomed into falling for any of her seductive lies, but test everything she teaches and does in light of Scripture, for only then will one be able to infallibly understand just what a counterfeit and antichrist church looks like.
PATRICK'S STREET REPORT FOR HOLY WEEK
It's always interesting taking on this task and beneficial because of the people you meet and get to witness to and talk to.
By God's grace the weather was good, so that enabled me to talk to a lot people.
Reaction to the offered card/tracts was favourable but naturally many will decline with a polite, "No thanks," others just walk by.
It seems with the Easter festival people seem to have a mish-mash of Christian beliefs all mixed up with other false teachings. For example one lady tried to convince me that the Mayan prophecies were associated with Good Friday. She knew parts of the Book of revelation but was oblivious to the Mark of the Beast but knew all about the Four Horsemen, thinking of course they were Mayan! All very confusing I might add.
Old people mainly will accept these free gifts as most have grown up with a Biblical concept learned in childhood.
Another well-spoken middle-aged lady was very emotional, who paused after taking some, asking about God's forgiveness. Somewhere in her youth she informed me, almost as a whisper, she had done something terrible. I didn't enquire what and she didn't elaborate on it. It was a fruitful conversation and I hope I helped her.
Muslims very interestingly did take the tracts but very few will engage in conversation. But one elderly man, a Coptic I think, did stop and talk and saw this period as a very spiritual period for all of us to think about, what the price Christ paid for us.
Amongst other topics other people want to talk about as they paused was the Chilean minors and their escape from the tomb. I pointed out that some had called on Mary to save them. (She couldn't hear them of course) and I tried to explain this Catholic doctrine was not Biblical.
One old timer who had had a few drinks came up to me and remind me that Jesus knew how many hairs there were in your head, he had obviously remembered from this Biblical quotation from his youth. He then asked me if I knew how many hairs were in my head, I told him I didn't. "Neither do I but isn't it wonderful," he replied with a grin and with that he was gone.
One other story from the many others was the man who came up to me with an aggressive look on his face. I was rather concerned but after taking one he asked for another four. It seems they were for his friends.
We chatted for a few minutes then he departed. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw him returning. He then informed me that he was meeting his friends in a pub and would I mind if he took these tracts into a pub. I didn't see any reason why not and after all we are instructed to do God's work in and out of season and if a soul gets saved in the pub or elsewhere then it has been rewarding, although we may not know about this at the time.
In conclusion it was worthwhile in that special
week with many tracts being accepted and with some bizarre but interesting questions
being asked. Street work can be very rewarding but you have to be consistent and never
make it a chore.

MONTHLY STANZA
TIME
Some eagerly explain and proudly proclaim that all
Past time is eternally lost.
But I enquire is it in the present or in disguise?
Or all in the silent past?
Yet all false teachers still maintain that
None have tasted its
Sweet aroma, or listened to its
Silent vibration.
It is a living mystery, bequeathed to
Us at the Creation!
God the Master/Monarch created
Time in six
Special unique days.
Then offered He a permanent light
To what was
Once just darkness.
A blind child once enquired of a famous singer:
"What colour is the wind?"
Shaking his famous head, to these few words a
Simple answer he could not find.
Have not modern lyricists offered in song:
As time Goes By
or
Time after Time.
Yet as hard as they try none can it seems
Compose or emulate a single line.
Such is the timeless gift of Creation that
The Almighty once prepared
At the advent of time;
Then God in one saving week offered all future
Salvation for yours and mine.
Killing time is the perfect crime, or so it has
Been widely rumoured!
Yet dear friend at the final judgment many dear-
Weeping souls will be forever severed.
From spending with the Heavenly Father
Their own prime time.
Then we are promised none shall weep, nor mourn,
nor
grieve, or know strife!
But shall safely walk and talk with that Precious
One
Who gave us meaning. But most of all Eternal Life! |
