John Paul II's Amazing Connection to the Upside Down Cross and the Antichrist.

-a transcripton of the video by Bro. Peter Dimond,MHFM

___________________________________________

"This is Bro. Peter Dimond, vaticancatholic.com.....I want to talk about the upside down cross symbol,the "beatification "of John Paul II and perhaps a few other issues...

People know that in the year 2000, when he was in Israel, John Paul II sat with a large upside down cross over his head, and when we exposed this we were actually attacked not only by defenders of antipope John Paul II and a member of the Vatican II church, but even by some sedevacantists.

They said that John Paul II's decision to sit in a chair with a huge upside down cross over his head, didn't indicate anthing nefarious or occultic at all because St.Peter according to tradition was crucified upside down in Rome.

This is a ridiculous argument as we have pointed out in the past because the upside down cross is clearly one of the most recognizable symbols in Satanism.

It is used by satanic heavy metal groups, mass murders, occultists of various stripes, and there was no commemoration of St.Peter, whatsoever, when John Paul II sat in the chair with the upside down cross over his head.

The Catholic Church does not use the upside down cross, and the only exception would be perhaps an altar or a shrine that is specifically and clearly dedicated to St.Peter.

When John Paul II did it, it was not a feast day of St.Peter - it was not any of his feast days,and there was no indication that he was commemorating St.Peter at all.

But it is another example of an action that is evil and symbolic, but there is just enough touch of ambiguity, so that the wicked defenders of the counter church can try to excuse it or explain it away. Those who defend his use of the upside down cross, whether they were members of the Vatican II church or sedevacantists,are defenders of the mockers of iniquity and demonstrate bad will.

And, on this point, I recently came across an interesting quote, and it deals with the period between the 2nd Crusade and the 3rd Crusade.

At that time there was a huge battle at the Horns of Hatton - at this battle the crusading Christians suffered their worst defeat at the hands of the Muslims of any defeat they suffered during the period of the Crusades.

In other words,it was the worst moment for the Christians in the Crusades.

In this battle the true Cross was captured by the Muslims.

I want to quote from a book called "The New Concise History of the Crusades" by Th0mas E Madden.,page 76.

He says, 'Saladin, the leader of the Muslims,also won for himself a great symbolic prize, the true cross carried into battle by the King of Jerusalem, which was paraded through the streets of Damascus upside down.

So, after winning this huge battle that was so devastating to the Christian side,the Muslims took the true cross and paraded it around the streets of Damascus upside down - I don't think they were doing it to honor St. Peter!

They were doing it because it represented the overturning of Christianity, the destruction and defeat of Christianity, and that's also what John Paul II meant by sitting in the chair with the upside down cross over his head!

Since we believe he was not only an antipope, but actually the Antichrist, it makes sense that he would sit with the symbol over his head.

By the way, I should probably add that the devastating loss suffered at the Horns of Hatton at the hands of the Muslims,was essentially avenged at the 3rd Crusade under Richard the Lionheart.

And the 1st Crusade was a miraculous success,so it's not as if the Muslims had the ultimate victory.

Now,this brings me to another point, which is where did John Paul II sit with the huge upside down cross over his head?

He did it in Israel!

If John Paul II is in fact the Antichrist, as we believe and we can prove without any doubt that he was an antipope, a heretic and Antichrist...it would therefore make sense that he would appear in Israel with the upside down cross over his head,because it was in Israel where the true Christ was on the cross - and so if John Paul II was the Antichrist, when he was in the Holy Land,he appeared as the antithesis of Christ on the Cross, with the upside down cross over his head.

It's also such a bold move to sit in a chair with a huge upside down cross over your head in front of 100,000 and on television that would be broadcast to millions of people that he could only probably get away with it once, and of course,the devilo's dupes tried to explain it away.

On this point,we recently saw the "beatification" of John Paul II on May 1st as we've discussed. We believe it will be the "canonization" of John Paul II by Benedict XVI that will fulfil Apocalypse 13., and the second beast causing people to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.

We explain that in our video,"Is the World about to End?" parts 5 through to 7.

The entire video,however, is necessary to get a full picture of that point, and the reason we believe it's the "canonization" and not the beatification" is simply because a beatification is not a binding decree on the universal church - it's a formal allowance that such a person may be considered blessed. It doesn't command the entire Church to recognize him as one of the saints.

It simply allows those who want to regard him as blessed in certain areas to do so.

It's therefore important,but it doesn't invoke the magisterial binding teaching authority of the Church.

With canonization, that's where the entire Church is commanded to recognize this individual as a saint, and that's why canonization has been held to be infallible and not necessarily beatification.

Nevertheless,the "beatification" of John Paul II was extremely significant, because it was a manifestation of apostasy to even allow such a heretic to be called "blessed" - And it's also a major step which precedes the canonization.

Benedict XVI, of course, being a heretic and antipope, has no authority to beatify or canonize anyone.

But, the point is, in view of the concilliar church, he does have authority, and when he "canonizes" John Paul II, he will be forcing the entire group of individuals who acknowledge him as "pope," to worship as a saint in the sense of venerating John Paul II.

This distinction between the allowance that beatification confers, and the obligation that canonization imposes, is clear in the beatification formula.

In the formula that was pronounced by Benedict XVI, in regard to John Paul II, he said, among other things, " With Our Apostolic Authority, we concede that the venerable servant of God, John Paul II, pope, from this hour can be called blessed."

And, he goes on to say, " It is possible to celebrate his feast."

Therefore it's a concession, not a command, for the universal church - it's still extraordinarily evil, and it's the big symbolic step that precedes the "caononization". However, it's not the command.

There's already a report that the "canonization" of John Paulo II will occur in 1 - 5 years, and it might be much sooner than 5 years - it might be a year or two.

When that occurs it will be the "canonization" of New Church, and the defenders of the antipope will be forced to venerate as a saint this man John Paul II who denied everything - he taught universal salvation, taught and denied every dogma you can possibly imagine - basically taught "every man is the Son of God"

And that brings me to another point - which is, we believe that John Paul II is the Antichrist, not only because his trademark teaching was that every man is the son of God, and that fits precisely with the Bible's definition of Antichrist and the dissolving of Jesus Christ, and not only because he fits with what's prophecied in Apocalypse 13 etc.,but also because he represented the Antichrist in so many ways.

For example, he was the man who buried Fatima.

It was under his watch that the phony 3rd secret of Fatima was published in the year 2000 - essentially he buried Fatima in the eyes of most of the world.

Not only did he bury Fatima, but he wound up putting himself in the centre of the fulfillment of the 3rd secret, because in the Vatican's official interpretation confirmed by the false Sister Lucy, John Paul II was the man who fulfills the 3rd secret.

So, he buries Fatima; he's the anti - Fatima and he puts himself as the fulfilment of it.

That's the role of the Antichrist, and it makes sense that he would do that.

Also there were numerous other symbolic actions, like I was saying earlier, like how it was in Israel that he appeared with the upside down cross over his head.

It was also in the year 2000, and around the year 2000 that he did a number of things that are highly symbolic.

For example, at that time he proclaimed new martyrs in Rome, at the Colosseum. There was this big ceremony at Rome at the Roman Colosseum, at the spot where the true Christian Catholic martyrs were tortured and killed for not denying the faith - at this spot he procaimed all kinds of non - Catholics to be new martyrs.

He is directly mocking the true saints and martyrs and their sacrifices at the very spot where they made their sacrifice - that was the role of the Antichrist.

He's overturning everything that is important to traditional Christianity.

It was at the same time, around the year 2000, that he denied that Heaven, Hell and Purgatory are places. He therefore undercut the very foundation of eternal life, and that was reported all over the world.

It was questioned for a while, and then people moved on. It was also around the year 2000 that he apologized for the "sins of the church" and the Crusades, these holy endeavors which were approved by the Church, which represented the battle against evil.

He therefore, mocked the Church!

And, the year 2000 is significant because in his first encyclical, " Redemptor Hominis," John Paul II cryptically alludes to a mark on the face of human history which will be left by the year 2000," as we explained in the video, "Is the world about to End?"

It was also, just before the year 2000, that he rejected the entire Council of Trent, by agreeing with the Lutherans on the doctrine of Justification and teaching Justification by Faith alone and that the Council of Trent no longer applied.

Thus,by the year 2000 he had systematically mocked or denied every important aspect of Christianity.

And, of course, there was his notorious promotion of false ecumenism and every detail it involved. He specifically bowed his head with the Jews as they prayed for the coming of the Messiah in the synagogue.

That was the role of the Antichrist, because he wanted to make it public, that as he is the representative of what people thought was the Christian Church, he is saying, Jesus isn't even the Messiah.

He drinks from the bowl that the pagans concoct, specifically to deny what is taught in 1 Corinthians about not drinking from the chalice of the devils, and on and on... so he covered all the bases!

The point is that there is much more than his preaching that every man is Jesus Christ, his notorious promotion of ecumenism, his fulfilment of Apocalypse 13 which persuades us that he is the Antichrist.

He represented the overturning of the Christian Faith.

And those who accept Benedict XVI in the light of the "beatification" of antipope John Paul II, blaspheme God and deny Jesus Christ, and when he "canonizes" him, they will be worshipping the beast in our view, but certainly a beast and an antichrist.

Here's something else which is extremely interesting.

If you do a search for "upside down cross" or "inverted cross," guess who comes up more prominently and more frequently than anyone or anything else?

That's right. John Paul II!

He has been memorialized throughout the world with the upside down cross - anyone who searches ... will find him displaying the symbol.

Wouldn't it make sense, that as Christ is identified with the cross, the Antichrist would go down in history as synonomous with the upside down cross.

Connections - May 1 and the "Death"of Osama Bin Laden. Wednesday 4th May,2011 Feast of St.Monica,W

Connections-May 1 and the Death of Osama Bin Laden

[ a transcription of the video from MHFM by Bro. Peter Dimond ]

________________________________________

"This is Bro. Peter Dimond,vaticancatholic.com...

I want to talk about the hoax surrounding the recent announcement that Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Those who follow these issues know that the evidence is strong that Bin Laden has been dead for years. It is also a fact that Bin Laden is nothing more than a CIA asset and creation, a character on whom they can pin any fake terror attack that they carry out!

He had nothing to do with 9/11, and in fact was not even officially charged with it, yet most Americans believe he was responsible for it.

Now, what I want to talk about is: notice on what day the conspirators announced Bin Laden was dead. They announced he was dead on May 1.

May 1 is the day on which the Illuminati was founded. It is the most important day to occultist members of secret societies.

Many of these conspiratorial events occur from April 19 to May 1, because on April 19 on the satanic calendar,there is a 13 day period of blood sacrifice to the beast culminating on May 1.

What are the chances they actually killed Bin Laden on May 1? Almost zero!

It's obviously a satanic joke that their fictitious character with whom they've been deceiving the public for years is dead and they announce it on the day dear to them.

They are laughing at the people. It's a big HOAX!

It's also relevant that a CIA special operation is the operation which supposedly killed Bin Laden- that's very interesting isn't it - it wasn't regular military,it was a special CIA operation,so it would be much easier for a special CIA operation to carry out the hoax and cover - up of the alleged "killing"of Bin Laden.

And what's interesting, is that the official speech was given just before midnight on May 1.

So, not only was the announcement made in the news, but the official speech confirming it all, happened on May 1.

I also believe it's not an accident that this news came out just a few days after Obama released his so - called long form birth certificate,which many experts claim is a forgery. The evidence for this is building, more and more people are talking about it.

What does the Bin Laden announcement do?

It distracts the entire world from the long form birth certificate issue and shifts the focus away from questions about its authenticity.

I'm convinced the two events are linked. They've had years to decide on what they wanted to do with the long form birth certificate, because they've been fighting its release in lawsuits for a number of years.

I believe they had it planned for sometime to announce the hoax of Bin Laden's death, shortly after the allegedly release of the long form birth certificate.

Not only does it distract the entire world from the long form birth certificate issue, but even more importantly, it rallies public support around Obama and gives him a new found credibility as an American, someone who will take out America's No.1 enemy at the very time many people are questioning his status as an American.

In other words,if you are doubting he is one of us - he's the guy who took out our biggest enemy!

It also, interestingly, was announced during Donald Trump's show, the "Celebrity Apprentice"- and those who follow the news know that Donald Trump and Obama have been sparring - and I read it in the news that the cutaway from Donald Trump's show on NBC, the "Celebrity Apprentice", to cover the breaking news that Osama Binn Laden is dead.

Is that just a coincidence? I don't think so.

This also gives the individuals who carry out these conspiracies numerous options.

They can carry out a fake terror attack as retaliation for the "death"of Osama Bin Laden.

They can also continue to get funding for intelligence gathering operations by pointing to this example of success.

It gives pause to many people whom might have been analyzing the long form birth certificate issue - it might "soften"them up.

So, I believe the whole thing is a hoax!

The fact they did it on May 1, makes it extremely obvious,and when you combine it with what we know about Bin Laden- his CIA connections - how on record they have produced fake Bin Laden videos as well as the fact that they do this just a few days after the alleged long form birth certificate is released, a clear picture begins to emerge.

So it kind of angered me how the whole world is being deceived again, and you see these people chanting, "USA! USA!", as if Bin Laden was our main enemy.

It's just astounding the cluelessness of most people,the level of deception that people are under, when the media is controlled, the whole world can be deceived.

It's really an outrage!"

Bonus Feature:

"Go out from her my people..."

The following article is a summary of a newspaper report by "Stuff.co.nz" reporting on damage to buildings and in particular churches,in this town of 400,000, as sustained in the recent February 22, 2011 earthquake to hit Christchurch, N.Z. - it is very interesting how the secular world has failed to grasp the significance of all this - and for us who have the true Catholic faith, the conclusions are hard to ignore...

Catholicism Canterbury spiritual home in doubt.

"A dome and part of the tower that supported it tumbled from the Christchurch Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in the February 22 earthquake.

A Statue of Our Lady, standing on a ledge inside the tower remained standing. The statue was unharmed.

Before the quake, it was facing inwards, where the bellringers could see it as they tolled the bells.

After the quake, it was facing outwards.

The bells are silent now. The ringers are wondering what message lies in Our Lady's 180 degree turn?

The domed bascilica is the spiritual home to the Catholics of Canterbury and Westland. It is also a wonderous architectural statement. Perhaps even more wonderous is that the building project was funded by a small congregation of mainly working class Irish immigrants more than a century ago....

The Cathedral has been closed since September 4th when quake damage made it unsafe to enter. The dome has been a significant element in the cityscape since 1905, renowned for its rows of columns and soaring interior vistas, the Cathedral is one of Christchurch's architectural treasures.

Banished by ancient religious bigotries to beyond the pale of the central city, it has tended to be missed by visitors who admire the city heritage buildings.

If it does not rise again, it will be missed much more. Perhaps that is why Our Lady has turned to face outwards to the world."

Conclusion:

The church which began at Vatican II does not represent the Catholic Church; it is a new religion completely opposed to the true Church in all its teachings.

I believe the fact that Our Lady is now facing outwards can only be interpreted as her rejection of the "whore of babylon" as represented by the present occupants of this once Catholic edifice, and a final warning to any Catholics who might be still open to the truth.

How could it not be otherwise?

"And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying: Go out from her my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues." Apoc. 18:4.

Blessed Oliver Plunkett, 13th February, 2011 - 6th Sunday After Epiphany

2011-02-14T14:33:00.000-08:00

Blessed Oliver Plunkett, Irish priest, archbishop and martyr [ 1625 - 1681 ]

_____________________________

Oliver Plunkett was born on 1 November, 1625 into an Anglo -Norman family at Loughcrew, near Oldcastle, Co Meath.

______________

In 1647, he went to the Irish College in Rome to study for the priesthood and was ordained a priest in 1654.

______________

The arrival of cromwell in Ireland in 1649 initiated the massacre and persecution of Catholics. Cromwell left in 1650 but his legacy was enacted in anti - Catholic legislation.

_______________

During the 1650s, Catholics were expelled from Dublin and landowners were dispossessed.

Catholic priests were outlawed and those who continued to administer the sacraments were hanged or transported to the West Indies.

To avoid persecution, Oliver Plunkett petitioned to remain in Rome, and in 1657 became a professor of theology.

________________

When anti - Catholicism eased, Oliver Plunkett returned to Ireland. In 1657 he became archbishop of Armagh. He set about reorganising the ravaged Church and built schools for the young and the clergy, whom he found 'ignorant in moral theology and controversies.'

___________________

He tackled drunkeness among the clergy, writing "Let us remove this defect from an Irish priest, and he will become a saint.'

__________________

In 1670, he summoned an episcopal conference in Dublin, and later held numerous synods in his own archdiocese. However, he had a long standing difference with the archbishop of Dublin, Peter Talbot, over their rival claims to be primate of Ireland. He also antagonised the Franciscans, particularly when he favored the Dominicans in a property dispute.

___________________

With the onset of the persecutions in 1673, Oliver Plunkett went into hiding, refusing a government edict to register at a seaport and await passage into exile. In 1678, the so - called Popish Plot concocted in England by Titus Oates led to further anti - Catholicism.

____________________

Archbishop Talbot was arrested. and Oliver Plunkett again went into hiding. The privy council in London was told he had plotted a French invasion.

In December 1679, Oliver Plunkett was imprisoned in Dublin Castle, where he gave absolution to the dying Talbot. Taken to London, he was found guilty in June 1681 of high treason on perjured evidence from two disaffected Franciscans.

___________________

On 1 July, Oliver Plunkett became the last Catholic martyr in England when he was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn.

__________________

He was beatified in 1920.

___________________

His body was buried in two tin boxes, and was exhumed in 1683, when his remains were moved to various places before coming to rest at Drogheda, Ireland ( his head ), Downside Abbey, England, and Lamspringe. Germany.

The 9/11 Pentagon Conspiracy - Jesse Ventura Monday 3rd January, 2011. - Octave Day of St. John, ApEv.

2011-01-02T23:09:00.000-08:00

The 9/11 Pentagon Conspiracy -Jesse Ventura by Brother Peter Dimond MHFM

__________________________________________

"This is Bro. Peter Dimond of Most Holy Family Monastery - I just wanted to recommend people to watch Jesse Ventura's episode of "Conspiracy Theory" dealing with the 9/11 Pentagon Conspiracy.

We have a link to the YouTube video of that episode in the description of this video - it's really a stunning episode that is absolutely worth watching for those who are interested in what is going on in the world, and really the worldwide police state that is being constructed all around us, because 9/11 was the event that set all of this in motion - it was what brought in the "Patriot Act," and all of these "security measures' to track people, to limit freedoms, and these measures have not only been extended greatly in AMERICA BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Many people have opposed the 9/11 official story - we have discussed it and linked to documentaries on it - and there is abundant evidence proving the official story is a FRAUD!

Some of these documentaries did deal with the facts which disprove the official story concerning the Pentagon, but in my opinion, this is the best compilation of evidence on the conspiracy surrounding the Pentagon - it contains one bombshell piece of evidence after another!

Among other things, in this episode, it interviews an L.A. Air Traffic Controller who heard chatter on the day of 9/11 about how the Airforce was told to "stand down" and not intercept the planes that had deviated from their courses, and that this order came from the highest level, is just stunning!

He also gets into Norman Manetto, the Transportation Secretary, who testified that the plane was allowed to approach the Pentagon and was deliberately not intercepted - that's been covered in many documentaries - but one point that is interesting is that Manetto's testimony not only was NOT used by the 9/11 Commission, but it was actually deleted from the video archive.

So they specifically deleted it, because it shatters the official story!

He also covers this Nasa Engineer, who demonstrates that the idea that the nose of a plane could have caused the damage that was done to the Pentagon, is simply non - sensensical.

Many documentaries have covered the fact that there are no pictures of a plane hitting the Pentagon, despite an abundance of cameras in the area that filmed the event; it took all kinds of lawsuits to finally get only five frames of what really happened released - and flames show a bright orange explosion more consistent with a missile strike.

One of the most fascinating pieces of information in this episode, is the interview with this woman who worked within the Pentagon, and in the area where the plane allegedly struck - she claimed she actually walked out the hole that was created and she saw no evidence of a plane at all!

She further explains how she was threatened and told not to tell the story as she saw it, but to say a plane had struck the Pentagon instead!

[ A plane didn't make this hole entering or exiting the Pentagon -it's nose simply would not survive the impact! ]

One of the most interesting aspects of the video, in my opinion was how there was no way the supposed 'highjacker' , Hani Hanjour, could have flown the plane into
the Pentagon.

Jesse Ventura interviews different pilots and they actually do a Simulation, and try to re -inact what it would be like to fly a plane into the Pentagon - these accomplished pilots conclude there is NO WAY that anyone, even an expert pilot could have flown at that speed and altitude into the Pentagon!

Hani Hanjour was not even a good pilot - they wouldn't even rent him a much less sophisticated Cessna, light aircraft!

One of the other bombshell pieces of evidence he covers in this video, is the incredible fact that on September 10th, 2001, the day before 9/11, there was a press conference with the Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, in which he said 2.3 trillion dollars of military funds could not be accounted for - lost!

The next day 9/11 occurred, and everyone, of course, forgot about it. However the area where all the information on that lost money was contained was the very spot where the the explosion occurred. So all of the data and the people who would have been working on that issue, or familiar with it, they were all lost on 9/11! [ like the lost 2.3 trillion!]

This provides a precise explanation for why they would have done this in the very area they did!

There are many other pieces of evidence, and we found it definitely worth watching, and although it's not obviously necessary from a spiritual point of view, it is important if one wants to consider what's happening in the world in a proper framework - it does have spiritual inplications because if people can recognize the massive deceptions occurring on the secular level with other events, that can cause people to realize that they need to re - assess their world view.

Coming to that realization can also cause a person to consider that he or she might be deceived on the most important spiritual matters, and that there are malevolent forces out there working to deceive people.

It frequently happens that when people wake up to secular conspiracies they look into what they have to do spiritually and find the traditional Catholic Faith.

Sometimes they can delve too deeply into these secular issues and so are distracted from their spiritual pursuits and their study of and practice of the Catholic Faith.

Nevertheless, it is important for people to be aware of these issues.

This is especially true when we consider how quickly they are working to implement this authoritarian police state.

Just yesterday, we posted on our website, the video clip concerning how Homeland Security is warning that terrorists might attack salad bars, therefore some are concluding we might have to remove salad bars from Malls/Supermarkets etc completely - they are trying to completely transform society, assume total control over everything, with cameras going up everywhere - it has really increased in the last 6 months to a year!

And it all began with the 9/11 Hoax!

It's at the point where they can now assume control of basically anything in the name of a TERROR threat or protecting people from terrorism, when as this documentary and many documentaries about 9/11 show it's all a TOTAL FRAUD!

Basically, all of these terror attacks and documentaries dealing with such incidents as the Oklahoma Bombing, 7/7, Christmas Day Bomber etc - they are all staged as part of a plan to consolidate power and control people.

If people do not believe that the Main Stream Media ( MSM) is controlled, a careful consideration of this issue - the 9/11 Pentagon attack - as well as the JFK issue, absolutely proves that, because the MSM will not give any fair coverage to the truth what really happened on 9/11.

Almost every time they mention conspiracy theories about 9/11, they blast the people who promote them, ridicule, half truth, and don't give them a chance to present any evidence - It's a hatchet job every time!

This all shows you do not have a free media at all - and that's how people are deceived because they just go along with what they are told!

[ the 'magic bullet' ]

It's just like Jesse Ventura's other episode on Conspiracy Theory covering the JFK assassination, which is extremely interesting as well and well worth watching - they have this confession from this person who was involved in in the JFK conspiracy - a total 100% proof that this was a conspiracy!

The man's name is E. Howard Hunt, an intelligence officer with the C.I.A. - a high placed officer, who was very well connected - this guy admitted to it, and on a recording prior to his death, with his son delivering the information - all this wasn't covered, not even once by the MSM. That's astounding!

You have a confession in the murder of JFK - and they don't even cover it at all!!

And, they totally ridicule anyone that doesn't believe Lee Harvey Oswald did it alone!

People may complain about body scanners and this increased security measures we are seeing everywhere - even members of the traditional movement - some of these same people have ridiculed those who seek the truth about 9/11 - their doing so helps to cement in the minds of people the entire hoax, and as a result Homeland Security and government can take over, get what they want all in the name of supposedly protecting the people from terrorism, when the whole thing, as 9/11 proves, turns out to be a Hoax!

After 9/11, Anwar al- Awlaki, who is now supposedly Al Quada's No. 1 man - the equivalent of Bin Laden, dined at the Pentagon as reported by CBS/FOX news

It's all a FRAUD! He dined at the Pentagon!

.... so those who reject the truth of 9/11 - you actually helped to perpetrate this fraud and helped facilitate the takeover of America and the rest of the world in the name of fighting "terrorism" - and by suffering these horrible measures you are getting what you deserve!"

Glory To God In The Manger. 8 December, 2010. The Immaculate Conception

2010-12-07T23:04:00.000-08:00

Glory To God in The Manger

Nineteen hundred and fifty three years ago we were confronted with something new.

We had never seen its like before, nor have we since.

Angels deserted their heavens to shout and sing about it. Shepherds abandoned their sheep on the hillside because of it. Kings left their kingdoms behind to journey in search of it.
For, nineteen hundred and fifty three years ago, God became man, and was born in Bethlehem of a Blessed Virgin Mother.

Since the coming of God-made-man was something unprecedented in our midst, we could never have predicted what its consequences would be. Certainly we could never have reasoned to the fact that it would mean bloodshed - that seventy- two holy and innocent babies would immediately be put to death as a result of that birth. And certainly, we had no idea that if God were to be born into His own world, that the world would even demand the shedding of even His Blood, thirty or so years later.

Because we were totally inexperienced in the matter of an Emmanuel, a God-with-us, we had no way of telling, left to ourselves, that the memory of Bethlehem would go on more securely than ever, after the disgrace of Calvary.

Nor indeed, could we have guessed that by a perpetuation of this very Calvary, in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. God was arranging to abide with us as our Emmanuel, in the consecrated hands of His Catholic priests.

Fittingly, the Holy Sacrifice that is offered on the twenty-fifth of December, during which God comes to our altars on the anniversary of His coming to Bethlehem, has long been regarded as especially "Christ's Mass" - which has abbreviatedly come to be Christmas.

The Christmas we are about to celebrate will be the nineteen hundred and fifty-third. And although its survival is ultimately secure, its challenging truth will suffer countless attacks.

Here in Boston, ( a town reputed to be well-disposed toward such considerations as birth and Divinity), Christmas will come as a foreign extravagance to our primeval Puritans, whose grandelders could recall how the December twenty- fifths of their childhood were dismissed as "popish feasts."

From the more recent denominations of Boston Protestantism, Christmas will get a varied reception. The followers of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy, for example, who believe there is no such thing as death, will be quietly disturbed - realizing that if they allow Jesus to be truly born at Christmas, He will grow up to be a serious threat to their theology when He truly dies on Good Friday.

And we can count on local manifestations of the older, more artful rebukes to Christmas: those of the Masons and the Jews.

Still - however much it will be scoffed at as the Birthday of God- incarnate from the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this year's Christmas will not be a failure. It will be a nineteen hundred and fifty- third commemoration of a Happy Birthday for Jesus.

For at "Christ's Mass" this December twenty- fifth, Jesus welcomed anew at the words of Consecration, will be wrapped in the swaddling clothes of bread- appearances, and laid in the most precious of mangers, a Catholic child's Holy Communion heart.

POINTERS

Martin Luther, a diabolical apostate priest, now in Hell, has been made the hero of a movie put out by the Lutheran Church. Catholics are being induced to attend this movie even by editors of Catholic magazines, whose movie reviewers report that although there are a few disappointing spots in the film, it is not, on the whole, a bad movie for Catholics to see.

If it is not an unqualified mortal sin for Catholics to attend a showing of Martin Luther, then it is utterly foolish for the Church to continue to demand that Catholics avoid occasions of sin and stay away from books on the index.

This month marks the beginning of a Marian year, proclaimed by Pope Pius XII to honour the one hundreth anniversary of the definition of the dogma of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception.

We are therefore printing below a prayer addressed to Our Lady by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, the pope who defined the dogma.

"O Mary, mother of mercy and refuge of sinners! We beseech thee to look with pitying eyes on heretical and schismatical nations. Do thou, who art the seat of wisdom, illumine their minds, wretchedly involved in the darkness of ignorance and sin, that they may know the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church to be the only true Church of Jesus Christ, outside of which no sanctity or salvation can be found. Finally, complete their conversion by obtaining for them the grace to believe every truth of our Holy faith, and to submit to the Sovereign Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth, that thus, being soon united to us by the bonds of divine charity, they may maje with us but one fold under one and the same pastor, and that we may thus, O glorious Virgin! all sing exultingly forever: 'Rejoice, O Virgin Mary! alone thou hast destroyed all heresies in the whole world.' Amen."

BY FATHER FEENEY

O LOVE

O Love, and have you come to share
Our bones, our breath, our lungs, our air?
O Weightless, shall Your burden be
Our leaden Law of Gravity?
Within our fetters dare You, Fleet,
Go groping with our hands and feet?
And must our senses be assigned You!
Ears to deafen, eyes to blind You!
If I were God, I swear I'd loathe
Myself in measurements to clothe.
Were I the Father's Word, no earth
Would straw and stable me at birth,
My tale would run - I must be honest -
Et Verbum caro factum non est.

VIRGIN MOTHER

Christianity is not the religion that holds that God exists. Every religion holds this dogma, whether it conceives God to be one or many. Christianity is the religion that holds that God became man, that He entered our ranks, assumed our nature, translated Himself into our idiom, "sifted Himself to suit our sight," and was born in Bethlehem in a temporal generation, Who was born in eternity in an eternal generation.

When we betake ourselves to the crib on Christmas morning, it is not to see just another baby, nor even to see just another mother. This is the most different child and the most different mother who have ever existed. No body like them ever was before, or will ever be again. Take the mother.

Her child was born of the love of the Holy Ghost: sheer love made her fruitful.
She is the fulfillment of a thousand prophecies uttered in the Old Testament. As a special preparation for this most holy perogative, she was herself conceived free from Original Sin, never tainted by the evil that beset our nature when Adam spoiled us all in Paradise.

The Immaculate Conception has nothing to do, as is commonly supposed, with Our Lady's chastity, nor with the chastity of her mother and father. The Immaculate Conception refers to Our Lady's Christianity. It's meaning is best studied, not in connection with the Nativity or the Annunciation, but in connection with the third chapter of Genesis and with the discourse of Our Lord at the Last Supper; for there is a world of difference between the dogma of the Immaculate Conception and that of the Virgin Birth.

The Immaculate Conception refers to Our Lady at her own birth and the sanctified condition of her soul in the nine months that preceded it. The Virgin Birth refers to her at Our Lord's birth, and to the fact that she conceived Him without the aid of man. The Immaculate Conception refers to Our Lady as a child; the Virgin Birth has to do with her as a mother.

The Immaculate Conception has reference to the condition of Our Lady's soul at the instant of its creation; the Virgin Birth to the condition of her body before, during, and after the time that she became fruitful with the Divine Child. This is the woman, the miracle woman of all the centuries, who stands so quietly by her Infant in the cold of the first Christmas Eve, and at whose side stands meekly her husband, Saint Joseph, marveling at the Child of predilection which was not his own.

NOEL

When I said Mass at midnight,
And candles were aglow,
I saw a white old woman,
Two thousand years ago,

My very great grandmother,
Who spun me flesh and bone,
Who felt my fingers aching,
In the atoms of her own,

In whom my eyes were shining,
However far away,
When Christ was in His cradle,
And it was Christmas day.

THE NATIVE - A TRACT IN ONE ACT

The curtain rises on what is plainly meant to be a Desert Island setting. A kangaroo scurries across the stage and some exotic bird-calls are heard in the distance, just to drive the thing home. Suddenly, emerging through a dense vine, a man appears. On his head is a pith helmet, around his neck a Roman collar, and under his arm a copy of the Denver Register. He is a missionary; and he is looking for the Ignorant Native.

As he stands staring about him, there is a sudden shout overhead. A figure comes hurtling down through the trees and lands upright in front of the missionary.

Missionary ( greatly excited ) - Can it be? Look at me. Do you know what I am?
Have you ever seen anyone like me?

Ignorant Native( emphatically) - I should say not.

M - The Ignorant Native! At last I have found you! And just in time. Come, we must hurry.

I. N. - Where are we going?

M. - I have been sent to bring you to America, to a huge celebration being given in your honor. A plane is waiting in the lagoon to take us to New York.

I.N. - What did I do?

M - What did you do? My dear man, as though you didn't know. You have the distinction of being the very first person in all the world ever to have received Baptism of Desire.

I.N. - ( impressed) - You don't say!

M. - Why, you are the very foundation of Baptism of Desire. It was invented to answer the question, "How is a native on a desert island, who is completely ignorant of the Catholic Faith, going to be saved?" Today, millions of people have Baptism of Desire, including almost every Jew in America. But it all rests on you. You were the first, and you opened the way for the others.

I.N. - And so you're going to have a celebration for me?

M. - The greatest celebration we ever had. As soon as we arrive in New York, there will be a ticker-tape parade down Fifth Avenue. There will be banquets and ceremonies in your honor all over the country. The week of your arrival is being declared National Native Week. Bishop Sheen is going to have you as guest of honor on his television program, and simultaneously he will begin a new series of talks, "Ignorance is Worth Having."

You are to be invited by Father Francis Connell to give a course of lectures at Catholic University on "Living Up to the Natural Law." Father Keller wants to make a Christopher film short of you playing golf with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. And,oh, I could go on and on.

I.N. - Will I be asked to make many speeches? I'm not too good at that.

M. - No, people will only expect you to affirm a few basic principles which the theologians agree are responsible for your having received Baptism of Desire. For instance, if you are asked to say something, you might simply declare your belief in the fact that God is, and is a remunerator.

I.N. - Oh, yes, I might simply do that - (confidentially) What's a remunerator?

M. - Never mind. Perhaps we had better just ask you questions. Try this one - it expresses Baptism of Desire in a nutshell; Do you fell an inchoate longing to be implicitly united to whatever it is you would want to be united to if you knew what it was?

I.N. - Awww, now you are teasing me.

M. - I most certainly am not teasing you. This is a very serious matter. Why, I'm beginning to wonder if you have Baptism of Desire at all!

I.N.- Of course I have Baptism of Desire. That's why you are going to have a celebration for me. Of course I have it . . . Except, there's just one question I would like to ask.

M. - Yes?

I.N. - What is Baptism of Desire?

The missionary hurries off, mumbling to himself; he is obviously in a state of great agitation. the Ignorant Native turns and climbs back into his tree. A kangaroo
scurries across the stage. And the curtain falls.

The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church. Monday 15th November, Feast of St. Albert the Great, BCD

2010-11-14T16:45:00.000-08:00

The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church

In the London Catholic Gazette of February 1936, was published a sensational article under the heading: "The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church."

The monthly organ of the Catholic Missionary Society of England was quoting speeches delivered in a series of secret Jewish meetings in Paris. A few weeks later, the Parisian weekly, Le Revell du Peuple, published a similiar account, adding that the statements had been made at a recent convention of the B'nai - B'rith ( Secret Masonic order into which no Gentile is admitted ) held in Paris.

The article of the Catholic Gazette read as follows: " 'The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church' "That there has been and still is a Jewish problem, no one can deny. Since the rejection of Israel, 1900 years ago, the Jews have scattered in every direction, and in spite of difficulties and even persecution, they have established themselves as a power in nearly every nation of Europe.

[ Antipope John Paul II with members of the B'nai B'rith]

Jacobs, in his Jewish Contributions to Civilization, glories in the fact that without detriment to their own racial unity and International character, the Jews have been able to spread their doctrines and increase their political, social and economic influence among the nations."

In view of this Jewish problem, which affects the Catholic Church in a special way, here are the amazing extracts from a number of speeches made under the auspices of a Jewish society in Paris around that time.

[ Antipope Benedict XVI accepts painting from the Jewish Freemasonic Order, B'nai B'rith in 2010]

- The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church -

"As long as there remains among the Gentiles any moral conception of the social order, and until all faith, patriotism, and dignity are uprooted, our reign over the world shall not come.

We have already fulfilled part of our work, but we cannot claim that the whole of our work is done. We have still a long way to go before we can overthrow our main opponent: the Catholic Church . . . We must always bear in mind that the Catholic Church is the only institution which has stood, and which will, as long as it remains in existence, stand in our way.

The Catholic Church, with her methodical work and her edifying and moral teachings, will always keep her children in such a state of mind, as to make them too self respecting to yeild to our domination, and to bow before our future King of of Israel.

That is why we have been striving to discover the best way of shaking the Catholic Church to her very foundations.

We have spread the spirit of revolt and false liberalism among the nations of the Gentiles . . . to persuade them away from their faith and even make them ashamed of professing the precepts of their Religion and obeying, and the Commandments of their Church.

We have brought many of them to boast of being atheists and more than that, to glory in being descendants of the ape!

We have given them new theories, impossible of realization, such as Communism, Anarchism, and Socialism, which are now serving our purposes.

The stupid Gentiles have accepted them with the greatest enthusiasm, without realizing that those theories are ours, and that they constitute our most powerful instrument against themselves . . . We have blackened the Catholic Church with the most ignominious calumnies.

We have blackened her history and disgraced even her noblest activities. We have imputed to her the wrongs of her enemies, and have thus brought these latter to stand more closely by our side. So much so, that we are now witnessing, to our greatest satisfaction, rebellions against the Church in several countries.

We have turned the clergy into objects of hatred and ridicule and we have subjected them to the contempt of the crowd.

We have caused the practice of the Catholic religion to be considered out of date and a mere waste of time . . . And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have proved easier dupes than we expected them to be.

One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd ( sic) of sheep. Let them graze in our fields till they become fat enough to be worthy of being immolated to our future King of the world . . . We have founded many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our directions.

We have made it an honor, a great honor, for the Gentiles to join us in our associations, which are, thanks to our gold, flourishing now more than ever.

[ yeah, right! but look what I found. And all 8 oz!]

Yet, it remains our secret that those Gentiles who betray their own and most precious interests, by joining us in our plot, should never know that those associations are of our creation, and that they serve our purpose."

"One of the many triumphs of our Freemasonry is that those Gentiles who become members of our lodges, should never suspect that we are using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect the throne of our Universal King of Israel; and should never know that we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our future King of the World.

So far, we have considered our attacks upon the Catholic Church from the outside. But this is not all. Let us now explain how we have gone further in our work, to hasten the ruin of the Catholic Church and how we have penetrated into her most intimate circles, and brought even some of her Clergy to become pioneers of our cause."

"Apart altogether from the influence of our philosophy, we have taken other steps to secure a breach in the Catholic Church.

Let me explain how this has been done. We have induced some of our children to join the Catholic body, with the explicit intimation that they should work in a still more efficient way for the disintegration of the Catholic Church, by creating scandals within her.

We have thus followed the advice of our Prince of the Jews, who so wisely said: 'Let some of your children become canons, so that they may destroy the Church.'

Unfortunately, not all among the 'convert' Jews have proved faithful to their mission. Many of them have even betrayed us! But, on the other hand, others have kept their promise and honored their word.

Thus, the Council of our Elders has proved successful.

We are the Fathers of all Revolutions - even of those which sometimes happen to turn against us.

We are the supreme masters of Peace and War.

We can boast of being the Creators of the REFORMATION!

Calvin was one of our Children; he was of Jewish descent, and was entrusted by Jewish authority and encouraged with Jewish finance to draft his scheme in the Reformation."

"Martin Luther yielded to the influence of his Jewish friends, and again, by Jewish authority, and with Jewish finance his plot against the Catholic Church met with success.

Thanks to our propaganda, to our theories of Liberalism and to our misrepresentations of Freedom, the minds of many among the Gentiles were ready to welcome the Reformation.

They separated from the Church to fall into our snare. And thus the Catholic Church has been very sensibly weakened, and her authority over the Kings of the Gentiles has been reduced almost to naught.

We are greatful to Protestants for their loyalty to our wishes - although most of them are, in the sincerity of their faith, unaware of their loyalty to us. We are greatful to them for the wonderful help they are giving us in our fight against the stronghold of Christian Civilization, and in our preparation for the advent of our supremacy over the whole world and over the Kingdom of the Gentiles.

So far, we have suceeded in overthrowing most of the Thrones of Europe. The rest will follow in the near future. Russia has already worshipped our rule.

France, with her Masonic Government, is under our thumb. England, in her dependence upon our finance, is under our heel; and in her Protestantism is our hope for the destruction of the Catholic Church.

[ 'Freedom, equality and liberty'... so what! But they were condemned by Pope Pius X in his encyclical on the errors of the Sillon- antipope John Paul II reads address to French President praising the ideals of the Revolution!]

Spain and Mexico are but toys in our hands. And many other countries, including the U.S.A. , have already fallen before our scheming.

But, the Catholic Church is still alive . . . We must destroy her without the least delay and without the slightest mercy.

[ ...and I will be with you all days, even to the consumation of the world...the traditional Latin Mass offered up by the Remnant Catholic Church of the Last Days...]

Most of the Press in the world is under our Control; let us therefore encourage in a still more violent way the hatred of the world against the Catholic Church.

Let us intensify our activities in poisoning the morality of the Gentiles. Let us spread the spirit of revolution in the minds of the people. they must be made to despise Patriotism and the love of their family to consider their faith as a humbug, their obedience to their Church as a degrading servility, so that they may become deaf to the appeal of the Church and blind to her warnings against us.

Let us, above all, make it impossible for Christians outside the Catholic Church to be reunited with that Church or for non - Christians to join the Church; otherwise the greatest obstruction to our domination will be strengthened and all our work undone.

Our plot will be unveiled, the Gentiles will turn against us, in the spirit of revenge, and our domination over them will never be realized."

"Let us remember that as long as there still remain active enemies of the Catholic Church, we may hope to become Masters of the World . . . ( nevertheless) the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before the pope in Rome is dethroned as well as all the other reigning Monarchs of the Gentiles upon earth."

[ ..." I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed; she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heal." Genesis 15.]

Creation and Miracles - Past and Present, Wed 29 Sept, 2010. Dedication of St. Michael, Archangel

Creation and Miracles -Past and Present

Brother Michael Dimond

Interviewer:

"We are here today with Brother Michael Dimond to review some of the research that you have been doing over the last year - research on Creation, Supernatural Miracles, and the Shroud of Turin, just to name a few...

Can you tell us more about your research, Brother?"

Brother Michael: " I've tried to go through everything I could on the subjects we are going to be speaking about today, Creation, Evolution, the young earth, the Flood, the Shroud of Turin, Miracles - and it would take, I don't know how many hours to present all the information I have, and so therefore, we are going to have to move quickly through this information, touching upon what I feel is the most interesting of the information that I have.

Now, one thing people have to realize, is that this is not science versus religion. This is religion versus religion.

Evolution is nothing more than a pagan religion - there is no scientific proof for it whatsoever, as you are to see in this tape, and it's a very dangerous theory because what you believe determines how you are going to behave, and evolution has created people like Lenin....Karl Marx dedicated his book Das Kapital to Charles Darwin, and it will continue to create these kinds of people.

In fact, atheistic evolution is the official creed of all Communists and atheists, and a necessary basis for atheism - and so, people believe in the theory of evolution because of their lifestyle.

They don't want there to be a God!

They have these, so-called 'missing links', because they say that we evolved from an ape, but they've only been able to produce a couple of these when they should be able to produce millions of them!

Lucy is the most complete so- called 'missing link' - and was found by Donald Johanson in 1974:

"The leg bones for Lucy were found a mile and a half away from the head bones.
The leg bones were two hundred feet deeper and in a different layer of strata. They were not all found in the same layer of strata or even in the same location; they were scattered over a mile and a half."

All these supposed missing links have all turned out to be either fully human, fully animal or false, and just because some animals have some similar features, doesn't necessarily mean a common ancester - it may mean a common designer.

Colin Patterson - he's an evolutionist, senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History - they have the largest collection of fossils in the whole world, wrote a book supporting evolution, and someone asked him, why he did not include any missing links in his book.

He responded to the letter and said, " I fully agree with your comments on the lack of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I know of any, fossil or living, I would have certainly included them.

I will lay it on the line, there is not one such fossil - so there is no missing link - there are trillions of fossils that you can study, but there are no missing links and there has to be if evolution is true.

D.M.S. Watson said, "The theory of Evolution is a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven true, but because the alternative special creation, is clearly incredible."

You see, a watch demands a watchmaker, a design a designer, and a creation a creator....and they have all these organs - residual organs or vestigal organs - they originally had 200 of them, and now they've been reduced to a handful.

They also say that we go through the process of evolution as an embryo - we have these different gill slits - these are actually folds of skin that develop into respiratory and hearing bracts.

One of the most common examples of evolution, they say, is the Peppered Moth of England. - they had 95% white moths and 5% white moths, and when you had factories burning coal, the trees started turning black from the soot.

They counted the moths again, and they found they now had 95% black moths and 5% white moths. Basically, all that happened was the white moths lost their camouflage and were eaten.

That is a sign of Micro - evolution involving minor changes in the structure and function of a plant or animal. Macro - evolution is something completely different, and that is the teaching that one kind evolves into another.

This hasn't been proven by science, and basically the key teaching of evolution is that life comes from non - living matter - spontaneous generation.

There is tremendous complexity in life.

For example, we have 50 trillion cells in the human body. Carl Sagan said that the simplest cell in the human body, has information equivalent to 100,000,000 pages of Encyclipedia Brittanica, and in this cell everything is independant and co - dependant on everything else.

There is tremendous complexity in all life forms - here is a Sail pad fish or a Sail catfish ( bagre marinus) - if you look on one side you can see the skeleton of the fish, and if you look at the other side you see what looks very much like Our Lord on the Cross - very interesting - I don't think evolution did that!

A Cray computer can do 6 billion calculations/sec, but the Honey Bee can do a trillion calculations/sec in order to fly - that means the honey bee is 166 times faster than the Cray computer - and the honey bee can heal itself .

But, the conclusion of the evolutionists is that the computer, of course is designed, but the honey bee evolved!

______________________________________

People ask why the stars are so far away?

Very simple - God put the stars far away!

That doesn't prove evolution at all.

People talk about alien life forms or extra- terrestrial life.

Conditions outside the earth are far more destructive than anyone imagined before space exploration began - Deadly Radiation, Poisonous Gases, Extreme Gravitational Forces, Gigantic Explosions, and the absence of proper atmosphere and specific chemical elements.

Just the temperature extremes in outer space would make almost any kind of life either so hot it would vaporize or so cold that it would be completely rigid and brittle and dead.

Besides, many of these supposed space alien civilizations should have technology at least superior to ours and would have colonized our whole solar system at least with mechanical robots.

They everything started with a BIG BANG 20 billion years ago, but in physics there's a Law called the Conservation of Angular Momentum, which says that if you had the "big bang" that exploded everything, then everything should be travelling in the same direction - but, we have the Sun spinning clockwise and all nine planets spinning anti - clockwise.

We also have 60 moons and 11 of them are spinning backwards.

When we look at the Earth, we find it is 7900 miles from the North Pole to the South Pole; it's the exact right size to accept the exact right amount of energy from the Sun, and it's the exact distance from the sun to give us the perfect temperature.

We could go on to give hundreds of examples how precisely balanced the earth is, and if you were to change these parameters by several percent and some cases even a tenth of a percent, we would either freeze to death or roast to death.

So, basically, the question arises.

Is the solar system and the Earth very young?

And the evolution debate can be settled very quickly if you can prove the earth is young

As the Sun burns, it is losing 5 million tons/sec, which means it's shrinking, which means it used to be heavier, which means its gravity was stronger, so even 20 or 30 million years ago, the Sun would be so big it would touch the Earth.

Comets should only last 10 - 15 thousand years before they are blown apart by the solar winds.

Calendars only go back to the year 4000 B.C.
How come they don't go back further than that?

The population growth curve looks like it started about 4500 years ago - well, there was a flood about 4400 years ago, and only 8 people got off the Ark.

Another question: How many billions of people should we have now? So, where are all the people or at least where are all the bones?

The rings orbiting Saturn, are bombarded by comets and should have been pulverised and dispersed in only 10,000 years.

Scientists admit the oldest known living trees are the Bristle Cone Pines of California - Nevada, which are 4300 years old.

How come we don't have an older tree?

We have the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and after watching it for 20 years, they took a growth rate average and found the reef was 4200 years old.

How come we don't have a reef that's older than that?

When they drill down into the ground they often hit oil and this is under tremendous pressure, sometimes as high as 20,000 lbs/sq inch - and scientists say the pressure should have leaked off in about 10 - 15,000 years.

Why is it still under pressure if the earth is so old?

Outer space is full of dust, and when the astronauts went to the Moon [ see Moon Landing Hoax on MHFM, since this article was written] and landed on the Moon they expected about 182 feet of dust on the Moon, instead they found not even one inch of dust on the surface of the Moon.

The Moon is also getting further and further away from the Earth, which means it used to be closer - there is the Inverse Square Law, that says if you half the distance, you quadruple the attraction - so even a couple of million years ago the Moon would be so close to the earth, it would flood the Earth twice a day.

The Earth's magnetic field cannot be any older than 10,000 years otherwise it would be too strong for life to be comfortable on Earth.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics - it's called the Law of Entrophy - says anyting left to itself gets worse.

They say Dinosaurs were around millions of years ago, but they have found DNA and blood cells from dinosaurs; blood cells can only last for thousands of years, not millions of years.

Job 40 :15 God said, " Behold Behemoth ... he has a tail like a Cedar."

I think that might mean it was a dinosaur.

In New Zealand, there's a place called the Chatham Rise - Japanese come down there to fish often - they pulled up this 4000lb, 32 foot skeleton of a dinosaur.

Basically, lizards never stop growing - if you put them in an environment with a water canopy,a lot of oxygen, 800 - 900 years to live, a perfect food supply with no enemies, you've got yourself a dinosaur.

In fact, before 1841, dinosaurs were called dragons, and the word 'dinosaur' means a 'terrible lizard'.

_________________________________

People ask "Is there any evidence of a World - Wide Flood and what caused it?"

Genesis 7 :11, "In the six hundred (600) year in the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the deep were broken up and the flood gates of heaven were opened."

So basically, what I think happened, was that a large planet or comet came close to the Earth and put pressure on the crust of the Earth, causing it to crack like the seam of a baseball - called the mid- oceanic ridge, which wraps around the Earth - and the subterranean waters exploded violently from this crack [ ref. Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory. http://www.creationscience.com/eationscience.com/ ]

These subterranean waters caused most of the fossil records.

They talk about the Geologic Column - how that proves evolution - the textbooks have the Cenozoic, the Mesozoic and the Paleozoic - all these different layers they say are millions of years old.

Well, if you get a jar full of dirt, shake it up, it will settle into layers for you - it's called hydrolytic sorting, and we have found as well as other people have seen trees in sediments going through all these different sediments that are said to be millions of years old.

And so, there are only two explanations for this: (1) either the trees grew in the sediment or (2) the sediment came down on top of the trees, and also many of these trees are upside down. I believe these layers have been caused by the World - Wide Flood.

The Grand Canyon, they say has been gradually eroded by the action of the Colorado River - if that's true then there should be 1000 cubic miles of sediment at the mouth of the river. There is nothing of that sort!

After the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, 600 feet of strata were deposited and in one day, it formed a canyon system,1/40 the scale of the Grand Canyon.

So these things were formed very rapidly and not over a long period of time.

Interviewer: "So Gradualism is blown away by what happened on Mt. St. Helens. "

Brother Michael ( continuing) : Exactly.

Evolutionists date layers of rock by the fossils they contain, and then they date the fossils by the layers of rock they are in - this is called 'circular reasoning'.

Fossils don't simply form when plant and animals die and rot - to be fossilized a plant or animal must usually have hard parts, such as bone, shell or wood. It must be quickly buried to prevent decay, and must be undisturbed throughout the long process." ( Fossils, NY Golden Press, 1962, P.10).

And the fossil evidence for a world - wide catastrophic flood is everywhere.

Fish have been found by the billions with their fins extended and eyes bulging; they have found mammoths with the last meal perfectly preserved in their stomachs, and that kind of food isn't found in that area today; they have found whales that are buried straight up and down; fish fossilized giving birth to their babies; clams that have petrified and closed - when a clam dies it opens up.

The Bible says that all the mountains tops during the flood were submerged under water - and when New Zealander, Edmund Hillary in 1950, climbed Mt. Everest and reached the 26,000ft level, for the next 3000ft he found sea shells and clams all over the place. So how do you get sea shells on every major mountain range - only if a world wide flood really happened.

Some people believe Noe's Ark is on the top of Mt. Ararat in Turkey. What's interesting is that on Mt. Ararat itself, they found pillar larva which is a unique formation which only forms when molten larva emerges from the earth below water; there are also salt crystals on Mt. Ararat, which could only be formed under water.

Is there any written evidence for a world wide flood?

Well, the flood account is found on Babylonian, Arcadian and Sumerian cuneiform tablets and these all date back to about 700 B.C.

In fact a study of universal flood traditions reveals that there are over 200 accounts of the flood in almost every culture and civilization around the world, including the Inca and the Aztec cultures.

They've gone back to many of theses ancient civilizations and found out that they were very advanced having such things like natural ventillation and air conditioning - you could go back to Egypt and find out that they knew how to make batteries and generate electricity - they found electroplated artifacts.

Concerning the size of the Ark - they had a model of the ark tested in a marine laboratory, and duplicated 200 foot tidal waves - they found the ark was not only seaworthy, but extraordinarily stable. During World War II, the USS New Mexico and Oregon were built on the same proportions as Noe's ark, six times longer than it is wide.

The question has ben asked, "How could you get all the animals onto the ark?"

First of all, you take the very smallest animal.

Dr. Kenneth Ebel, Professor of Biology, said, " Each family of creatures on earth have a single pair of ancestors. There are over 300 varieties of dogs in the world today, but they all have a single common ancestor. There would have been ample room to load all the species we know of today, with room left over for Noe's family, food and supplies - and due to the darkness, the animals would probably have eaten less and slept more - in a state of hibernation."

Many hundreds of people have claimed to have seen Noe's ark on top of Mt. Ararat - one was Fernane Navarra, a French demolition expert - he brought back wood he claimed was from Mt. Ararat.

The interesting thing, is that Mt. Ararat is a totally treeless volcanic peak, and the wood they brought back doesn't even grow on Mt. Ararat - in fact there is not forest within 300 miles of the mountain.

Jim Irwin,was a former astronaut, and he took a very interesting picture when he was travelling with a Dutch T.V. crew - this amazing photograph shows what they believe to be Noe's ark.

A French spotter satellite identified a 200 foot piece of wooden object 86 feet wide extending over a crevasse all under 60 feet of ice and snow. So how come somebody doesn't just go up on Mt Ararat and get the ark?

Well, the problem is climbers claim the mountain is one of the hardest mountains to climb, maybe the hardest; the ark is covered with ice and snow, so you could walk right on top of it and not know it was there.

When the Turkish Government grants research permits, it is for the South Side of Mt. Ararat.

The ark is believed to be on the North Side, and people caught on the North Side are usually arrested.

The mountain is also too high and treacherous to land a helicopter expedition, and in the ongoing battle between Turkish soldiers and terrorists over 6000 people have been killed on the slopes of Mt. Ararat during the 1990's.

Many Bible stories are proving themselves to be true. The walls of Jericho fell literally straight down - they have examined these walls and the walls were not pushed in, but they fell straight down as if the earth had opened up beneath them, and they literally dropped.

Sodom and Gomorrah, destroyed by God for homosexuality and other sins of the flesh - these are pictures showing where Sodom and Gomorrah used to be located - they look like cities and they found substance burnt with sulphur or brimstone, and have a remaining ash that is heavier than the initial unburnt substance - that is why, perhaps, these cities have been able to remain for almost 3900 years.

They found these cities have been burnt at 4000 - 5000 deg.

The Bible said it rained fire and brimstone upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah -

You can go over there and see millions of chunks of little balls of sulphur all over the place.

The definition of 'brimstone' in the dictionary is sulphur.

God asked for the circumcision in Genesis 17: 10-12, on the eighth day, not the fourth day or the third day.

They have only recently discovered that vitamin K which clots the blood, is at its peak on the eighth day, and so it would be the safest time to perform that operation.

In 1947, in a cave on a cliff on the west side of the Dead Sea, they found several large jars containing leather scrolls - these were The Dead Sea Scrolls - they've been sealed and preserved for over 1900 years. Coins were found inside the jars, and paleographers date the scrolls at 125 B.C..

Until that time, the earliest biblical manuscripts were about 900 A.D. The Isaias scroll dated at about 125 B.C. and matched precisely with the Text dated in 916 A.D. - that's a thousand years of copy after copy, translation after translation with complete accuracy.

This proves that the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus were written before He came to earth and not after - and Isaias and the rest of the Old Testament have a lot to say about the Messiah - that he would be born of a virgin, that he would be born in Bethlehem and that he would be a man of sorrows.

And there are many other predictions of the Second Coming of Christ.

Jesus says in Matthew 24:20, that if He didn't shorten those days, no human flesh would be saved - how could that be possible 200 years ago - it wouldn't.

Maybe the reason you have pictures like this - a color picture of a French Nuclear Test in 1969 - you can see Our Lord on the Cross and our Blessed Mother next to Him in white, as Our Lady of Grace.

The Holy House of Loreto is believed to be the house where the Holy Family lived.

It was originally in Nazareth and was actually picked up and moved to eastern Yugoslavia and from there it went to Italy, where it is today - they have found these places in Nazareth and Yugoslavia and checked out the area of the foundations, and it is exactly the same as the Holy House of Loret, Italy.

You can go to Loreto, Italy, and visit the Holy House, and you will find the house still does not rest on a foundation up until this day.

This is a St. Joseph Staircase - In New Mexico, there were Sisters who needed a staircase built from the choir loft that went basically straight up and down - they asked carpenters to help them, but no one could.

They put it in the hands of St. Joseph, and made a Novena to St. Joseph - on the last day of the novena, a man came and said he could help the Sisters with building the staircase.

It consists of exactly 33 steps; there are two complete 360 deg turns and there is no supporting pole up the centre - this means that it hangs there with no support - the entire weight is on the base.

Some architecs have said, by all the laws of gravity it should have crashe d to the floor the minute anyone stepped on it - yet it has been used for 100 years.

It rests against the loft at the top and the floor at the bottom, where the entire weight appears to be supported.

Wooden pegs rather than nails are used throughout, and the railing was not part of the original construction, but added two years later.

There are no nails or screws in any part of it, nor are there steel plates or angle irons, only wood and wooden pegs throughout.

Furthermore, the wood appears to be of a hard variety and according to some wood authorities is not a native wood of Mexico, and where it was obtained is still a mystery.

On December 9th , 1531, there was a Mexican peasant named Juan Diego, travelling to go to church - the Blessed Mother appeared to him and told him she wanted a chapel built where she was appearing, and that he should go to the Bishop and give him this message.

So, he went and told the Bishop, who asked Juan Diego to tell the lady to give him a sign so that he would know it was from God.

He went back and told Our Blessed Mother that the Bishop wanted a sign - the Blessed Mother told him to gather up some roses and put them in his cloak or tilma and present them to the Bishop.

Since it was winter time, that made it another miracle.

He picked the roses and put them in his tilma and took them back and presented them to the Bishop and the image of Guadalupe appeared on his tilma.

The image has been subject to rains, floods, earthquakes, and in 1921 someone place a bomb underneath it which exploded, but the image remained intact.

The tilma is made of a vegetable substance which normally deteriorates after fifty years - it should have rotted centuries ago.

The material used to produce the colors are unknown to science, and there is no undersketching on the painting, no sizing - and without sizing, it is humanly impossible to paint on its rough surface.

There is no protective overvarnish, and without protective varnishing the picture should have been ruined long ago by prolonged exposure to candle smoke and other pollutants.

There is no fading or cracking - incredible when you consider it's been there for almost 475 years.

The balanced placement of the stars is not an accident - at least not according to astronomers - the stars correspond to 46 stars and 14 constellations as they are in the morning of December 12th, the day on which Our Blessed Mother imprinted her image on the tilma.

In recent years the eyes have been the subject of considerable scientific research.

By the use of computer technology and amplifying the eyes up to 25oo times the normal 7 - 8 mm size, researchers have found what they believe to be the portrait of Juan Diego in the right eye.

Just between 1532 and 1548, you had 9 million converting to the Catholic faith in Mexico - so we lost 5 million due to the Reformation in Europe, but we almost doubled that amount in Mexico.

Twenty million come from all over the world to see the image of Guadalupe.

In 1917, Our Blessed Mother appeared to three little children, Lucia de Santo, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. in Fatima, Portugal.

She asked the people to pray the Rosary and she showed the children a vision of Hell.

The children wanted a miracle performed by the Blessed Mother, so that people would believe she was appearing, so the Blessed Mother said she would work a miracle and it would be on October 13th,1917 at noon.

It was the first time since the Resurrection that a miracle has been perdicted to take place at a certain time and place - so the people came on October, 13th, some 75,000 to 100,000 persons - up to their ankles in mud; atheists, masons, sceptics were there to mock the miracle when they thought it would not happen.

The Sun started to make movements outside the laws of nature as it started to spin on its side for about 12 minutes. Then it started to plunge towards the earth - everyone thought it was the end of the world - and when it was about to hit the earth it went back to its normal position in the sky.

The sick were cured during this miracle - and there was a second miracle for the ground and all the clothes were found to be dry.

One Engineer took a look and said, " the amount of energy you would need to dry all the clothes and the ground would be the equivalent of a ten megaton bomb - if that happened all the people would be burnt to death."

Our Blessed Mother at Fatima predicted that Russia would spread her errors throughout the whole world. She mentioned another "worse war" would begin in the reign of Pope Pius XI - and Pope Pius XI wasn't even pope at that time!

She mentioned you would know God was about to punish the world when you saw a night illumined by an unknown light - and that great light was seen on January 25th, 1938. It illuminated the skies of Europe - it was a red glow that was seen for about five hours all over Europe - so much so that people in Switzerland could read their newspapers at 11pm at night.

The only way man can reproduce that kind of phenomena is by an atomic explosion - basically, when that night illuminated by a strange unknown light happened, it was 47 days after that Hitler invaded Austria.

Our Lady said she would try to prevent these punishments if Lucy would ask for the Pope with all the bishops to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart.

She asked for the Third Secret to be released by 1960 - that has not happened. [ see later article by MHFM concerning consecration done by Pope Pius XII in 1952 ]

She asked for the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturday of each month.

Little seer Jacinta, after she died - her body was exhumed and found to be still intact, perfectly incorrupt.

There have been many hundreds of bodies that have remained perfectly incorrupt - one such is Catherine Labore - she saw Our Blessed Mother who gave her the medal Catholics wear called the Miraculous Medal - thousands of miracles have been attributed to the medal.

St. Catherine Labore died in 1876 and her body is perfectly incorrupt.

St. Bernadette Soubirous saw the Blessed Mother in Lourdes, France, where millions come each year to pray - countless miracles have occurred - she died in 1879 and her body remains perfectly incorrupt.

Not only bodies, but also scapulars have remained intact.

St. Alphonsus died in 1787 and his body turned to dust, but his brown scapular remained perfectly intact - examination proved it had no special treatment [ the brown scapular was given by the Blessed Mother to St. Simon Stock in 1251, and thousands of miracles have been attributed to it.]

There are over 16,000 canonized saints in the Catholic Church, and for each person that becomes a saint, they need at least three verifiable miracles by doctors and people, who must verify under oath their authenticity - demonstrating that the Catholic Church is very careful before declaring someone a saint.

And the Catholic Church is the only Church with an uninterrupted history of miracles from the beginning of human history.

St. Vincent Ferrer converted almost 200,000 people to the Catholic Faith, and raised 30 people from the dead; he worked more than 40,000 miracles during his life and when he was canonized almost a thousand miracles were used in his canonization.

Padre Pio was another mystic of our times - he died in 1968 - he had the stigmata visibly for over fifty years. He had many gifts - he could tell you when you went to confession last, your whole life, your sins - he was seen throughout the world.

He has worked thousands of miracles which already fill 54 volumes; since his death he has continued to work miracles.

One of the most interesting miracles during his life was of a woman named Gemma de Giorgi, who was from Italy, and is now about 40 years old ( about 1998 when this was recorded).

Gemma was born without pupils and still has no pupils, but after her Grandmother took her to see Padre Pio; she asked for a cure - he blessed her and now she can see, even though she still has no pupils - which is anatomically impossible to see without pupils.

We also have exorcisms on audio tapes - and if people don't believe in the Devil they should get some of our exorcism tapes - not only do they prove the existence of the devil, they also show the power of a traditional Catholic bishop over the power of the devil and also how powerful devotion to the Mother of God is, and how much the Devil hates the Rosary.

There have been many Eucharistic Miracles - non - Catholics do not believe that at the words of Consecration by a Catholic Priest, the bread and wine change into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. There have been many hundreds of Eucharistic miracles throughout the last 2000 years to verify this Catholic belief.

This is very essential, because Our Lord says in John 6:53, "Amen, amen, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his Blood you cannot have everlasting life in you."

In Lanciano, in 700 A.D. there was a priest who doubted whether he was really consecrating bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ - at the moment of Consecration, the bread changed into the actual visible Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ.

Scientists tested this flesh and found it to be human flesh - the blood was human blood of the type AB.

If you were to cut yourself and bleed, within 15 minutes you lose all the chemical properties of blood - if you give blood and it is not refrigerated that blood would begin to break down in one hour.

They took a particle of the petrified blood and liquified it and found it had all the proteins and chemicals of fresh blood, 1300 years old!

When they tested a slice of the heart, rigor mortis had not set in, and it was determined the slice of the heart was from a living heart!

Another miracle was in Siena, in 1730 - thieves broke into the Church and stole a ciborium filled with 351 hosts; they left the ciborium with the hosts down the road somewhere - they still have these hosts, which have not decomposed after nearly 300 years!

In Cascia around 1300A.D. there was a farmer who needed the last sacraments and he called for a priest who went out on a sick call, but instead of putting the host in a pyx he placed it between two pages of his breviary.

When he prepared the man to receive Holy Communion he opened the book and found a blood stain where the host had been. This was a miracle in itself and you can go to the Church and see the page of the book with the blood stain; if you look inside the blood stain you can see the profile of Jesus, his hair his eyes his nose and his beard.

The Shroud of Turin is claimed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ - people have been trying to say it is just a medieval fraud.

It is well documented that the shroud existed before the Middle Ages and here is a brief history of its existence:

The Shroud was carried from the tomb of Jesus by St. Peter and taken to Edessa, Turkey. It was then lost and wasn't rediscovered until the year 944 A.D. when a Byzantine emperor sent an army to bring it to Constantinople.

In 1204 the European Knights of the Fourth Crusade sacked Constantinople and took it back to France where Margaret De Charne transferred it to the Savoy family.

In 1532 a fire in the Savoy Cathedral in Chambery, France damaged the shroud.

In 1578 the Savoys established their capital in Turin, Italy and took the shroud with them where it remains today.

In spite of the overwhelming evidence there are only two points the scoffers try to bring up to discredit the Shroud of Turin. One is the carbon testing done in 1988 and the second is a reputed letter from a Bishop Darcy, which said the bishop wrote this letter that he knew who forged the shroud, and that he knew the artist.

That doesn't prove it is a fraud.

None of the copies of the letter are signed or dated. there is no proof the pope ever saw it, or that it was delivered to him.

Pope Clement VII allowed the shroud to be exposed to the public during this whole time. There is no evidence it is in the handwriting of the bishop it is claimed to have been written. It is simply estimated that it is from 1389. The artist who forged it is not named and there is no transcript of any official investigation.

The first photographs of the Shroud were taken by Secunda Pio in 1898 - he was shocked to find that the negative image was a positive image - and Barry Schwatz, who is Jewish, a shroud documentary photographer, said, "Assuming that the Shroud was manufactured in the 14th century, it would mean that someone would have to have conceived of photography approximatelt 650 years before it was invented. I don't think so."

Some of the scourge marks on the shroud appear only under ultra violet light, which means the "forger" would have had to paint the marks so that they would be invisible to the naked eye, and then discern that ultra violet light would be invented some 650 years later - impossible!

There is not a trace of paint pigment on the shroud; there are no brushstrokes; the images on the shroud are directionless, and therefore could not be painted , at least not by human hand.

Kevin Moran, Optical Engineer. "The shroud image is made from tiny fibres that are 1/10 the size of a human hair. The picture elements are actually randomly distributed like the dots in your newspaper photograph or magazine photograph - to do this you would need an incredibly accurate atomic laser. This technology does not exist."

Also, if someone was to paint the shroud, they would have to have a twenty foot brush, because the image isn't even discernible much closer than that.

They also found blood on the Shroud of Turin.

According to Dr.John Heller and blood specialist, Dr. Allen Adler, they found not only blood on the shroud, but blood highly loaded with bilirubin, a bile pigment that would only show up if the dead man had been severely and traumatically beaten.

Pathologist, Pierre Ballon, came to the same conclusion, and also found that the blood on the shroud was human blood and of the type AB.

They did thirteen tests that confirmed that there was blood on the shroud.

The image on the shroud is negative, but the blood marks are positive. Also the blood marks on the shroud have remained red, and why they haven't been darkened by time and oxidation is unexplainable.

At the back of the toes on the shroud there is an original bleeding when the man was alive, and then in the tomb there was a second bleeding - so we have two blood flows - this impossible for someone to forge.

In fact, the experts were shocked by the way the blood evidence was transferred to the shroud - it was done perfectly without one smear, which practically humanly speaking is impossible.

Dr. Max Frei, was a Swiss criminologist - he was one of the leading experts in dust and pollen analysis in the whole world - he single -handedly developed a technique to determine where criminals had been by testing samples of dust and pollen from their clothing - he was consulted on many crimes by police forces of many nations.

Dr. Frei's objective was very simple. If the shrould was forged in France in the 14th century, then only the French or Italian pollens would be found in the cloth - but his exhaustive analysis found some fifty eight specific pollens, and only seventeen were native to Europe, the rest were from Palestine, and Southern Turkey, the site of Odessa in Constantinople - and so this meant that the shroud had been in these places at some time in its history.

In fact , thirteen of the pollens come exclusively from Palestine and are growing in Israel today.

Professor Raes, found in the shroud linen, microscopic bits of cotton under the microscope - not just plain cotton, but cotton with a certain number of twists per centimeter.

We have to realize that cotton has a different number of twists depending on which country it is from - cotton grown in the western part of the world has 20 - 25 twists per centimeter, while cotton grown in the Middle East has 8 - 10 twists per centimeter. The cotton found in the shroud has around 8 twists per centimeter.

Cotton was not commonly grown in Europe at that time ( 1260 - 1390), some claim the shroud was manufactured.

They also found on the shroud many accurate images of many flowers, and twenty eight specific flowers to a good degree of accuracy - they all grow within Jerusalem or within 12 miles of Jerusalem.

Whoever produced the image on the shroud also produced the high energy field producing many images of every object that was in the shroud and hence we have a highly accurate image of these flowers.

They also found dust on the footprint of the cloth, and this dirt is found to have come from Jerusalem's Damascus Gate and nowhere else.

They also found 3 dimensional information in the shroud of Turin - this is incredible because we know that a painting has only two dimensional information, height and width, but the shroud has been found to have 3 - D information!

They put the shroud under a special machine, called the VP8 Image Analyzer, which found the shroud has 3 - D information, which an artist could not have put there.

It is also a Jewish custom when people die , to put coins over the eyes when laying the corpse out for burial, and in tests they did, it looks like there is a coin over the right eye.

This coin has 24 coincidences with the Lepton which was put out by Pontius Pilot between 29 A.D. and 36 A.D.

You can see the staff and the letters U,K,A,I - if you look at the shroud under high magnification you can see the staff and the letters U, C, A, I .

Fr. Philas, was shocked to see this, but wondered why there was a C instead of K.

In 1981, at the British Museum, he found two coins that had a C instead of a K - so this would throw forging out of the question.

Fr. Francis Philas said " Even the wildest imagination cannot justify any claim that th tiny letters 1/32 inch high could have been painted on the cloth."

Other features have proved the authenticity of the shroud - the locks of hair on the side of the face is a Jewish custom; the body on the shroud isn't even straight; the abdomen appears swollen, showing the cause of death was suffocation; the legs on the shroud are not broken, and the Romans who crucified their victims, always broke the legs of the crucified - this goes back to Exodus 12:46, where it says that they would not break a bone in His body.

Looking at the blood flows: when someone is crucified, the hands fall to an angle of 25/65 deg, and so the blood flows in a certain way - the blood flows on the shroud show it was from a man who was crucified.

In studying photos of the shroud caused Dr. Pierre Barbae, Chief Surgeon of St. Joseph's Hospital in France to say, "If this the work of forger, then the forger would have had to have been a trained anatomist, for there is not a single blunder."

When a nail pierces the median nerve in the wrist, the thumb goes automatically into the palm as shown on the shroud.

This would not invalidate the prophecy, " They have pierced my hands and my feet..." because anatomists in all countries and throughout history have understood the hand to consist of the wrist, palm and fingers.

This is a picture of a Roman scourging device called the Flagrum - it consists of a handle onto which are attached three leather straps, and on each of these straps is a dumbell shaped metal object, which was used by the Romans as a means of punishment by beating the body.

The dumbell shapeded objects fit perfectly into the wounds on the shroud, and one author estimated there were 120 scourge wounds on the Shroud of Turin, and Jewish law limited the number of lashes to forty - forty times three is 120.

The wound in the side of the shroud measures 1 3/4 inches bt 7/16 inches, which exactly corresponds to the size of the Roman spear called the lamaea, also known as the spear of Longinus, and is kept in the Hapsburg Treasure House in Austria.

Legend has it that this is the spear that pierced the side of Jesus, and was owned by Longinus, a Roman soldier assigned to duty at the Crucifixion site by Pontius Pilot.

Hitler believed this legend, and he visited the Treasure House when he was 19 years old, and when he invaded Austria, at the beginning of World War II, he took the spear because he believed he had to have the spear to go out and conquer the world.

On the shroud, the buttocks is rigid with rigour mortis, and some scientists say that the person has been dead not more than 40 hours.

Forensic Scientist, Dr.Robert Buklin, from Los Angeles County says, "The evidence of a scourged man who was crucified and died of suffocation is clear cut - the markings on his body are so clear and so medically accurate, that they are, in my opinion, beyond dispute."

Why would anyone keep this gruesome relic, unless it was the true burial cloth of Jesus Christ.

The Shroud advocates suffered a severe setback when the carbon 14 dates came back in 1988, when it said the shroud was from 1260 - 1390.

However, C-14 is far from an exact science -in fact, freshly killed mollusks show that they have been dead for 3000 years, using this method of dating.

Bristlecone Pines, the oldest trees on earth, date too young by 2 - 3000 years.

Evolutionist, William Stansfield, said that "there is no reliable long term radiological clock."

Carbon 14 is based on a number of assumptions such as : The rate of decay has always been the same throughout history; The amount of Carbon 14 in the atmosphere has always been the same: it is also based on the assumption that the geologic column is correct - and we have proved that that is not correct.

Three labs were selected to perform the Shroud Carbon 14 tests. They were given three linen samples of a known age to test the accuracy of their lab testing.

One sample was from 3000B.C., and when the tests came back the labs were off by 1100 years .

The testers defended these errors as being caused by contamination to the samples, but in subsequent retesting the sample was still 1100 years off!

There are too many variables that can affect test results, and besides the Shroud sample takers violated fourteen scientific protocols to ensure test accuracy,and also carried out their tests by consulting one another.

Secretary of State Cardinal Casaroli ( rumored to be a Freemason) gave supervision of the Carbon 14 tests to research director of the British Museum, Dr. Michael Tite. It is strange that that Casaroli would give the supervising of the reputed burial cloth of Jesus Christ to his declared enemies!

Dr. Tite wrote a letter to Jacques Evin, Director of the Radiocarbon Laboratory of the University of Lyon in January, 1988 and he asked for a cloth similar to the Holy Shroud in every detail.

Evin searched and found a cloth similar to the Shroudof Turin.

Dr. Tite denied writing this letter until his letter was published - then he admitted it!

When they did the test, they cut off a little piece of the Shroud of Turin, in front of video cameras on April 21, 1988.

The three men involved, Dr. Michael Tite, Cardinal Ballestrero, (who before the C-14 tests, said he did not believe the shroud was authentic), and Professor Luigi Gonella, (science advisor to the Archbishop), went to a separate room where there were no video cameras, and what these three men did while they were in that room was never discussed by them.

It becomes apparent, during that 30 minutes, while they were in that room , there was a substitute of cloths.

The size of the cloth tested was not the same as the piece cut from the Shroud. For some reason, the Touson lab received two samples - at first they denied this, but later admitted it.

We are unable to get the original samples because in C 14 testing the samples are destroyed.

The Chief Tester at Zurich, Dr. Wolifi, believed before the tests ,the shroud was a fake.

So most of the people involved, doubted the authenticity of the Shroud - so it looks like they had a biased agenda.

When the supposed results came back from the lab, it showed 1260 - 1390!

Professor Ed T. Hall, and Dr. Tite held their own press conference, and you can see written on the blackboard the figures "1260 - 1390!"

The London Daily Telegraph of March 26, 1989 said. " On Good Friday, March 25, 1989, forty five business men and rich friends presented to Professor Ed T. Hall of Oxford, one million pounds for his services in having determined the Shroud of Turin was a medieval fake. Hall said he was using the funds to create a new chair of archaeology science at Oxford to be filled with Dr. Michael Tite."

So, Dr. Hall assisted Dr. Michael Tite in the crime by providing him with a chair at Oxford as a reward for his work in defrauding the people of the world of the greatest religious relic of all time!

So, if the shroud is reproduceable, why doesn't someone reproduce it? No one can!

The Shroud shows very clearly that Jesus Christ lived, Jesus Christ died, and Jesus Christ rose again.

I have shown on this video that not only God exists, but the Catholic faith is the True Faith. If you don't embrace the Catholic faith - speaking as a convert to the Catholic faith - you will be lost for all eternity.

If you are a Catholic, it is imperative that you attend a Latin Tridentine Mass, pray the Rosary, wear the brown scapular, stay in the state of grace and fulfill your station in life.

______________________________

The evidence is before you - miracles, and the early church fathers believed in all the Catholic teachings - that is what the true faith was and still is today.

The Catholic Church decided what books were to be in the Bible - the Catholic Church has said what is sin and what is not and what things we have to believe in to be saved from Hell.

If you go to a non - Catholic church and ask them," what must I believe?" They will point to the Bible.

The problem is which passages do I take literally? Basically, if the Holy Ghost leads all people to interpret the Bible, how come we have tens of thousands of Protestant churches, all believing different things about the Bible?

None of them claim to be infallible, so who settles the dispute or has handed down a decision?

Just believe in Jesus and you will be saved!

Well, Matthew 9:21, says, "not all that say Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven. He that does the will of My father,he shall enter the kingdom of Heaven."

No, we don't believe in Jesus, unless we accept and follow all that he has commanded.

The theory that "once saved, always saved," and "you will never lose your salvation," - that isn't even Biblical!

St.Paul says, in Phillipians 2:13, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling."

He says in 1 Corinthians 9:7," When I am preaching to the faithful, I fear that I, myself may become a castaway." He talks about salvation, as "running a race to the end."

If where you are going to spend eternity doesn't concern you or doesn't interest you, isn't high on your list of your priorities, well, then, you are definitely going to go into the fires of Hell, and once you arrive there, there is no escape.

Your eternity is fixed. And you will burn, weep and suffer and be tortured by demons for all eternity.

God doesn't want that - he says in Timothy 2:4, "He wishes for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth."

What you have heard on this tape is the TRUTH!

If people think that what I am saying is very foolish, then you can always say to them, "What are you going to be doing in 200 years from now?

We will all be dead and forgotten, and everyone you knew on earth will be dead and forgotten, and your body will be six feet under the earth, and your soul will be in Purgatory, in Heaven or burning in the fires of Hell for all eternity.

This is reality.

Our Lord says, in Matthew 16:26," What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul - Matthew 6:33," Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and His justice, and all things will be added unto you."

Genesis 3:19, "Remember that you are dust and unto dust thou shalt return. Eccles 7:40. "Remember your last end, and you will never sin."

Basically, which way you look at it, your time is running out - No one can promise you another year, another month, another week or hour or even another breath.

So if you don't want to spend eternity burning in the fires of Hell, embrace the Catholic faith, keep the faith and may you hold it until your dying beath!

"It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father has put in His own power." ( Acts 1. 7). "Watch for you know not the day or the hour." ( Matthew 25. 13)

It is not for us to penetrate the secrets of God; but it is for us to watch that we are not surprised. For how many terrible uncertainties are there not in death!

(1) At what age shall you die?

In old age, in middle age, or in youth?

"Watch, for you know not."

(2) What kind of death shall you die?

Will it be a sudden death without time to prepare yourself? Will it be after a long illness, which will deprive you of the use of your senses, the use of time, of grace, of the sacraments? Will it be after violent pain, which will render it out of your power to attend to everlasting salvation? Will it be from a fall, from fire, from the weapon of an enemy? "

Watch, for you know not."

(3) In what place shall you die?

Will it be in your own place, or in that of a strangers? At table, at play, at the theatre, at church? Will it be in your bed, or in a prison, or on the scaffold?

"Watch, for you know not."

(4) What day shall you die?

Will it be in ten years? Why not this very year? Why not this month, this week? Why not even this day?

"Watch, for you know not."

(5) During what action shall you die?

There is not one action that may not be your last. You pray - why should not death strike you while you pray? You study - why should not death strike you in the midst of this study? You sleep - why should not this sleep be eternal? Not one of your words, not one of your movements, which may not be followed by the stillness of death?

"Watch, for you know not."

(6) In what state shall you die?

Will it be in the state of grace, or in the state of sin? Again, the same uncertainty. All that we know is that death is the echo of life, and that we almost always die as we have lived.

"Watch, for you know not."

Catholicism For Dummies Exposed - Sunday 15th, August, 2010. The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

Catholicism for Dummies Exposed

Brother Michael Dimond

An examination and expose of the heretical and best selling book Catholicism for Dummies, by "Reverend" John Trigilio and "Reverend" Kenneth Brighenti.

While it's true that the book Catholicism for Dummies contains some true statements and facts concerning what the Catholic Church teaches, it's also true that many statements in the book constitute heresy and apostasy.

So, if after reading this article, you still believe the book is completely Catholic, you are simply a dummy. You have deceived yourself into thinking it teaches Catholicism.

Please note that one of the authors, "Fr". John Trigilio, is actually a featured speaker for EWTN. He even hosted their show defending Vatican II. It was called "Council of Faith." He is currently featured on two special programs produced by EWTN. Trigilio's book Catholicism for Dummies has also received numerous recommendations from well - known Vatican II "Catholics."

Novus Ordo "apologist" Jimmy Akin said the following about Catholicism for Dummies: . . . the only secular 'For Numskulls' - type book on Catholicism that I can recommend. I have read others on the market, published under other ' For Numskulls' - type imprints, and the ones I have read, are all deficient, ranging from somewhat to seriously so. I was so impressed with Catholicism for Dummies, however, that I recommended it to Catholic Answers to carry."

Catholic Answers took his advice, and now sells it. Catholic Answers described the book in this way: "Catholicism for Dummies presents the rich tapestry and history of the Catholic Church - from devotions to doctrines.

You'll find within these pages everything you wanted to know about the Catholic Faith." The book Catholicism for Dummies has also been promoted by many others including Michael S. Rose and Professor Charles Rice. Rice described it as "A goldmine of insight on the Catholic faith for people of all ages and beliefs."

No, this book is only a goldmine of heresy and apostasy, as we will see. I will now give examples of where the book teaches heresy

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 186: "The church believes you're being irreligious when you show contempt for God, such as desecrating a holy object or place. the action is called a sacrilege. When a house of worship - a church, temple, synagogue or mosque is vandalised, the Church maintains that the sin of sacrilege has been committed; a house of God was desecrated, and contempt was shown, not solely for those who attend the house's services but also and preeminently for the person the place was built for.

You are also violating the Second Commandment if you make jokes, watch movies, or read books that are disrespectful to God or anything considerd holy.

So, for example, if you ridicule or laugh at a Jewish man for wearing a yarmulke ( skull cap), a Muslim woman for wearing a khimar ( head covering ), a nun for wearing her religious habit, or a priest for wearing a cassock ( a long close fitting garment, usually black ), you're being sacrilegious.

Human beings wear certain things out of religious tradition, or they perform certain rituals as an external way of showing their love for God. When others make fun of religious garb or religious practices, it is an insult to the one being remembered by them, God himself." ( Wiley Publishing Inc., 111 River St.,Hoboken, NJ )

This paragraph would rank high among the most heretical paragraphs ever written by a person who claims to be Catholic. They say it is a sacrilege when a synagogue or mosque is desecrated. They state that these places are holy, and when these places are desecrated contempt for God is shown.

This is amazingly heretical. They go on to teach the incredible heresy that if you show contempt for Jews and Muslims for wearing their religious clothing you are insulting God and violating the Second Commandment.

They obviously believe that to be a religious Jew or Muslim is the same thing as being a religious Catholic; otherwise they would never say what they stated above.

This clearly indicates that the false religions of Judaism and Islam are good and true. Here's what the Catholic Church thinks about these religions:

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Basel, 1434, . . . " There is hope that many from the abominable sect of Mahomet will be converted to the Catholic Faith."

Pope Callixtus III: "I vow to . . . exalt the true faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet [ Islam ] in the East."

Pope Benedict XIV, A Quo Primum, June 14, 1741: "Surely it is not in vain that the Church has established the universal prayer which is offered up for the faithless Jews from the rising of the sun to its setting, that they may be rescued from their darkness into the light of truth."

Let's look at the next heresy in the book:

Catholicism for Dummies. Page 9 : "To Catholics, all people are basically good. . ."

Catholics do not consider all people to be basicaly good. All men ( outside Our Lady ) are born in a state of original Sin and Jesus states that most men go to Hell. ( Matthew 7:13 ). The idea that all men are basically good is a bold expression of religious indifferentism, moral relativism and it implies universal salvation.

Catholicism for Dummies, Introduction Page 1: "Three great religions trace their roots to the prophet Abraham: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. And one of those great religions, Christianity, is expressed in three great traditions, Catholicism, Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy."

They state that Judaism and Islam are great religions and that Protestantism and Eastern "Orthodoxy" are great Christian traditions. This is totally heretical. Some might argue that the term "great" even though it frequently means "good", can also mean "numerically large." Since it can carry the meaning of "good," a Catholic must not use such a word to describe a false religion, unless it's made clear in the context that the religion is false but simply stands out in history.

Of course, the authors of Catholicism for Dummies, don't teach that these religions are false and evil. On the contrary their entire book constitutes proof that they regard these false religions as good.

As it stands, their statement is heretical and an expression of false ecumenism.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 11: "The practice of attending what's called the Vigil Mass - the Saturday evening Mass, wasn't universally allowed until 1983. The rationale for this relatively new practice is that in the Jewish tradition, after sundown means the next calendar day, so Mass celebrated after sundown on Saturday evening can count for a Sunday obligation."

Throughout its history, the Catholic Church has only considered Sunday attendance sufficient for the weekly holy day of obligation. However, in 1983, this was changed by the arch - apostate John Paul II.

The Catholic Church does not permit any of the observances of the Old Law of Judaism to be religiously followed. Therefore, those that think that Saturday Mass is equal to Sunday for the weekly Mass obligation are following Judaism.

The Council of Florence condemned those who followed the religious practices of Judaism.

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1441, ex cathedra: "The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the Law of the Old Testament, the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments. . . after Our Lord's coming . . . ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began . . . All therefore, who after that time ( the promulgation of the Gospel ) observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, the holy Roman Church declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least bit fit to participate in eternal salvation."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 94: . . ."Catholicism doubts the Baptism in the following faith communities to be a valid sacrament: Christian Scientists, Quakers, Salvation Army, Jehovah Witnesses, Unitarians and Mormons ( Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ). The reason has nothing to do with the religions themselves or their members, because all espouse a true love of God and neighbor.

The reason merely has to do with what Catholicism considers to be a valid sacrament."

The heretical sects they mention here do not espouse a true love of God. Notice how even any mild criticism of a non - Catholic religion is repudiated by the authors. This is consistant with the complete ( and often shocking ) religious indifferentism seen throughout the book.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 94.: "So through Catholic Baptism, a Christian's immediate spiritual family is God the Father, Jesus, God's son and a brother to all, and Mary, the Mother of Jesus and a mother to all. And everyone who was, is, or ever will be baptised becomes their extended spiritual family. Catholics believe that Baptism makes all people brothers and sisters in Christ, whether they're Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox."

It's heretical to teach that by baptism, non- Catholics become part of the same spiritual family as Catholics. True Catholics are only united to other Catholics by baptism. To be part of the same spiritual family is to be part of the same Church.

This would mean that non- Catholics are part of the true Church. All in the Catholic Church have the same faith and baptism. Non- Catholics do not have the same faith as Catholics and they are therefore not part of the same spiritual family.

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (#9), June 29, 1896: "The practice of the Church has always been the same, as shown by the unanimous teachings of the Fathers, who were wont to hold as outside the Catholic communion, and alien to the Church, whoever would recede in the least degree, from any point of doctrine proposed by her authoritive Magisterium."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 95: "Even secular science today uses the name Eve to refer to the first human woman - the first homo sapien. We want to mention that avowed aetheists from Oxford University have identified seven ancestral matriarchal groups from which all Europeans appeared to have descended.

Every European, according to the study, can trace his evolutionary history back to the seven ancestral mother groups, also referred to as the Seven Daughters of Eve.

This corroborates the study of biochemists Allan Wilson and Vincent Sarich at the University of California at Berkley who've shown that every man and woman on earth, past , present and future, can be traced genetically to one woman."

Here they promote the unscientific and unbiblical theory of evolution.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 99: "The Catholic Church doesn't see itself as being right and all other religions as being wrong . . . You can think of it like this: Catholicism sees itself as more like someone who knows everything about mathematics versus someone who only knows, algebra, geometry or trigonometry.

The Church believes that all religions know some truth, but it knows more."

This is completely wrong. The Catholic Church does see itself as being right and all other religions as being wrong.

Pope Pius VIII, Traditi Humilatiti ( #4), May 24, 1829: "Indeed this deadly idea concerning the lack of difference among religions is refuted even by the light of natural reason. We are assured of this because the different religions do not often agree among themselves. If one is true, the other must be false; there can be no society of darkness with light. Against these experienced sophists the people must be taught that the profession of the Catholic faith is uniquely true, as the apostle proclaims: one Lord , one faith, one baptism."

Pope Leo XIII, Libertas,(# 21-23), June 20, 1888: "Justice therefore forbids, and reason itself forbids, the State to be godless, or to adopt a line of action which would end in godlessness - namely to treat the different religions ( as they call them) alike, and to bestow upon them promiscuously equal rights and privileges.

Since then, the profession of one religion is necessary in the State, that religion must be professed which alone is true, and which can be recognised without difficulty, especially in the Catholic States, because the marks of truth are, as it were, engraven upon it .... Men have a right freely and prudently to propagate throughout the State what things soever are true and honorable, so that as many as possible may possess them; but lying opinions, than which no mental plague is greater, and vices which corrupt the heart and moral life, should be diligently suppressed by public authority, lest they insidiously work the ruin of the State."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 100: "People who lack any knowledge of Christ and his teachings are sometimes called anonymous Christians, and they don't consciously, deliberately, and willingly, reject Christ and his Catholic Church, so they aren't responsible for not knowing the whole truth. Therefore, the Church believes in Baptism by desire, which allows salvation for non -Christians, who, through no fault of their own, haven't yet accepted Christ explicitly but nonetheless lead good, moral lives as if already Christian.

Only those who consciously, deliberately, and willingly reject Christ are considered liable."

There is no such thing as an anonymous Christian. In this statement they manifest a complete denial of the necessity of the Catholic faith for salvation.

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Session 8, Nov 22, 1439, ex cathedra: "Whoever wishes to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic faith; unless each one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will, without a doubt perish in eternity."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 114: . . ."getting married in the Catholic Church isn't as complicated as some might think. At least one person must be Catholic, but the other person can be any other religion. If the non- Catholic was baptized in a non - Catholic church, the non - Catholic needs documentation verifying Baptism.

If the non - Catholic is unbaptized, unchurched, or of a non- Christian religion, a special dispensation from the local bishop is needed. The priest or deacon doing the ceremony can obtain it."

Historically, the Catholic Church allowed a Catholic to marry a non - Catholic only on rare occasions. The non - Catholic party would have to agree to raise all the children Catholic. The post- Vatican II Counterfeit Church now allows "Catholics" to marry non - Catholics without any dispensation. A dispensation to marry a non - Catholic is now only necessary if the non - Catholic is " unbaptized, unchurched or of a non - Christian religion."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 115: " A valid Sacrament of Matrimony requires the presence of a priest or a deacon, a bride and a groom( no same sex marriages), and two witnesses of any religion . . . secular or other writings from other faiths can be read at the reception before grace is prayed and the toast given ..."

Here these apostates promote that the witnesses of a marriage can be of any religion whatsoever and that the religious writings from different religions can be read at the wedding reception. What apostates!

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 120: " ...a nonpracticing Catholic doesn't realize that a non- Catholic minister can still marry the couple in a non - Catholic ceremony with the Catholic Church's blessing as long as the couple meets with the priest or the deacon and still performs all the Pre- Cana preparations as everyone else. A dispensation from the local bishop is possible and can allow the bride or groom to be validly married in the eyes of the Church, by a non - Catholic minister, and in a non-Catholic Church of the non- Catholic spouse, but the Catholic priest or deacon must fill out the necessary forms,and the couple still has to make the same preparations as other Catholic couples."

Here they promote the completely novel and heretical idea that a Catholic can marry before a non - Catholic minister and in a non - Catholic Church. This was never allowed in the whole history of the Catholic Church until after Vatican II.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 188: " Just going to a Christian Sunday worship service isn't good enough. In order for Catholics to satisfy and fulfill the Third Commandment, they must attend a valid Catholic Mass. Going to another denomination for a Sunday worship is nice, but Catholics must also also attend Mass the evening before or sometime during the day on Sunday."

The heretics state that going to a Protestant denomination to fulfill your Sunday obligation "is nice" but "isn't good enough" to fulfill your Sunday obligation.

Every moral theology manual before Vatican II would tell you that to actively participate in a Protestant service would be a mortal sin.

Pope Pius IX, Graves ac diuturnae (#4), March 23, 1875, speaking of a non - Catholic sect: "They [ the faithful] should totally shun their religious celebrations, their buildings, and their chairs of pestilence which they have with impunity established to transmit the sacred teachings. They should shun their writings and all contact with them. They should not have any dealings or meetings with usurping priests and apostates from the faith who dare to exercise the duties of an ecclesiastical minister without possessing a legitimate mission or any jurisdiction."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 193 "Catholicism doesn't teach that married couples must have as many children as biologically possible. It does, however, allow for Natural Family Planning ( NFP ), which is not the old archaic , and unreliable rhythm method. So responsible Catholics can morally decide how large or small a family they can reasonably afford, raise, and maintain, as long as moral means are employed to do so."

They state that you can decide for yourself how large a family you want.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 204: " Treating all citizens - regardless of gender, color, ethnicity , or religion - with the same dignity and human rights is a mandate of social justice to all governments."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 207: " The person must know what they are doing or planning to do is evil and immoral. For example, someone steals a postage stamp, thinking that it's only worth 50 cents. She knows that it is sinful, but if she's unaware the stamp is rare and actually worth a $1,000,00 dollars, she's not guilty of mortal sin, but of venial sin . . . Venial sins are any that only meet one or two of the conditions needed for a mortal sin, but do not fulfill all three at the same time, or they are minor violations of the moral law, such as giving an obscene gesture to another driver while in traffic."

To steal something that is only worth a small amount is a mortal sin, not a venial sin.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 215 :"Most religions have some controversial teachings, doctrines, disciplines and policies that the outside world rejects or misunderstands. A few members may even dislike or oppose some doctrine or other, yet these positions remain part and parcel of the official religion, because at the very core is an obligation to speak the truth "in season and out of season . . . for the time will come when they will not ensure sound doctrine but wanting to have their ears tickled." ( 2 Timothy 4:2 -3 ) For this reason, the Catholic Church, like other faiths, stands by her conviction and teachings. . ."

That seems to state that all religions - by adhering to their core teachings, are spreading the truth in season and out of season.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 224: "Woman can serve on the parish council and finance committees. They can be readers at Mass, extraordinary ministers ( laypersons who assist the priest at Mass to give out Holy Communion) if needed, and ushers. They can work in the parish office, teach religious ed. and so on, just like theri male counterparts. And many parishes have woman pastoral associates - usually nuns or religious sisters who help the pastor with many spiritual and pastoral duties.

In addition woman can hold positions of influence and power even in the diocesan chancery. The Church has women who are canon lawyers, judges, and chancellors across the country. The Church has allowed local bishops and pastors the option to allow female altar servers at Mass. Now many parishes have both altar girls and altar boys."

This is a wicked novelty condemned by Catholic teaching.

Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt ( #29), July 26, 1755: "Pope Gelasius in his ninth letter to the bishops of Lucania condemned the evil practice which had been introduced of women serving the priest at the celebration of the Mass. Since this abuse had spread to the Greeks, Innocent IV strictly forbade it in his letter to the bishop of Tusculum: "Women should not dare to serve at the altar: they should altogether be refused this ministry.' We too, have forbidden this ministry in the same words in Our oft- repeated constitution..."

1 Corinthians 14:34 - "Let women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as the law saith."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 234: "The Catholic Church permits and encourages married couples to space births and plan how big or small their family will be. But if artificial contraception is out, what's in?

Definitely not the archaic and undependable rhythm method. that's not what the Church means by Natural Family Planning ( NFP) .... By using natural science - taking body temperature, checking bodily fluids, and using some computations - a woman can determine with 95% accuracy when to have sex and not get pregnant ... when practiced properly, NFP is as effective as any artificial control method.

And it's not difficult to learn. Mother Theresa taught illiterate Indian from the gutters how to effectively use NFP. In addition, no prescription and no expensive devices are involved, so it's easy on the budget. Birth control pills, on the other hand, are commodities bought and sold for profit."

They state that the Catholic Church "encourages" couples to space births and plan how big or small their family will be. They encourage NFP as "effective as any birth control method."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 237: "The Church loves and respects the homosexual the same as it does the heterosexual. Catholicism teaches that the homosexual must be treated with respect, compassion, and sensitivity.

Every act or thought of hatred, violence, or persecution toward the homosexual is condemned."

First, they utter the heresy that the Catholic Church equally respects a homosexual and a heterosexual! Perhaps they should read Romans Chap. 1.

Then they say that the homo must be treated with respect, compassion , and sensitivity. What does treating a homosexual with "sensitivity" and "compassion" mean? A Catholic tells a homosexual in charity that his behavior is unnatural and an abomination before God.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 266: "In all 2000 years of Church history, only two papal ex cathedra statements have been made."

This completely wrong an actually laughable. There have been many more than just two ex cathedra statements in Church history. When we consider that these authors have PhDs, yet demonstrate a profound ignorance of real Catholic teaching, this reveals again how shallow, deceiving and misleading such official degrees can be.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 287: ..." the word militant isn't used in the sense that Catholics are at war with Protestants, Jews or Muslims. The term militant refers to a spiritual war against sin and the devil ... Confirmation makes the Christian Soldiers of Christ, who battle against greed, envy, anger, lust, pride, laziness, and gluttony as well as prejudice, racism, anti - Semitism ..."

They say that Catholics aren't at war with Protestants, Jews or Muslims. We are at spiritual war against these members of false religions because they lead people to Hell. But of course, heresy, apostasy and embracing false religions, means nothing to these apostates. They also say that Confirmation makes a person a Soldier of Christ to fight against anti - Semitism. I wonder what they mean by that statement. Do they mean that you are not to be a racist, or against the Jewish religion ( there's a huge difference between the two, of course) or do they mean both? They probably mean both.

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 288: ..."hell isn't a physical place. It's as real as heaven or purgatory, but you can't travel to it anymore than a spaceship can reach heaven."

Catholicism for Dummies, Page 288: "Catholics believe that purgatory evens the score and fulfills justice while accommodating mercy. They [Catholics] believe that purgatory isn't a place but a spiritual state of the soul in which it's purified before entering heaven. Known as the Church Suffering, the souls in purgatory are definitely and absolutely going to heaven, just not yet.

Think of it like this: Joe and Max were both born on the same day, and both died on the same day. Joe was a gambler, boozer, and womanizer and he was dishonest, lazy and undependable. Max, on the other hand, spent his life obeying the Ten Commandments, practicing virtue, and loving God and neighbor.

Just before dying, Joe repents of his old ways and accepts the Lord into his heart.

Should Joe and Max both go to heaven at the same time? Catholicism teaches no... both can't walk through the pearly gates side by side."

They say that Hell and Purgatory are not actual places. They got this heresy from Anti - pope John Paul II. In the summer of 1999, he taught that Heaven, Hell and Purgatory are not actual places. It's revealed in the bible that Heaven and Hell are actual places. They go on to say that two men ( of some religion) live different lives. Max loves God and neighbor. Joe was a gambler, boozer and womanizer. Max then dies. Then Joe dies at the same time. Just before dying Joe "repents" and attempts to use the Protestant method of accepting the Lord into his heart to save his soul.

They conclude by stating that they both go to Heaven, just not at the exact same time. Joe might have to spend a little time in Purgatory. This is heresy.

These few quotes from the book Catholicism for Dummies demonstrate the incredible level of heresy and apostasy held by these two authors.

These authors are simply men who are able to read and write and obtain degrees.

What's incredible is that Trigilio and Brighenti would probably be considered very conservative among Novus Ordo "priests." The real problem here is that Trigilio and Brighenti should never have become "priests."

They are utterly of bad will and they are not remotely Catholic. The people who promoted this book are also not Catholic. The mere fact that this book is considered a textbook on what the Catholic Church teaches proves once again that we are living through the final days of the Great Apostasy at the end of the world.

Catholic Doctrine:

No Salvation Outside the Catholic Church -

Pope Pius IX, First Vatican Council, Sess. 3, Chap 2 on Revelation, 1870, ex cathedra: "Hence, also that understanding of its sacred dogmas must be perpetually retained, which Holy Mother Church has once declared; and there must never be a recession from that meaning under the specious name of a deeper understanding."

And so we have the Bull, Cantato Domino of Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1441, ex cathedra: "The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives..."

Entrance into the Catholic Church is by water Baptism -pure and simple - one then become a member of the Church, a child of God, cleanses us from original sin and makes us heirs to the kingdom of heaven ( John 3:5 ) " Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."- and nothing else - not desire or blood or being ignorant or "invincibly ignorant"

And, so Vatican I has declared that there can be no departure from the teaching of Pope Eugene IV in his ex cathedra statement concerning all those who are outside the Church- its meaning remains the same now as it did then, and will always do so, in spite of heretics who will try everything in their power to cast a shadow of doubt into its immutable truth!

St. Dominic Savio 11th July, 2010. Seventh Sunday after Pentecost. St. Pius I, PM

St. Dominic Savio - Don Bosco's Beloved Pupil

____________________________

Dominic was born at Riva de Chieri in 1842. When yet a child of seven he received Jesus in his heart for the first time, and in the ardor of his angelic love he then made the following resolutions:

1. My friends shall henceforth be Jesus and Mary,
2. Death rather than sin.

At school he shone forth as a wonderful example of virtue and of application, and at the end of the senior elementary course he left his father's house in order to follow the call from on high. Dominic's first meeting with Don Bosco

The scene of that meeting is touching indeed. Don Bosco himself has handed it down to us in the life of the angelic youth. He immediately discovered that Dominic's soul was entirely given up to God and exclaimed: " Here is good material to form a saint."

From that day the boy put all his trust and confidence in Don Bosco, who in turn fashioned him into a new St. Aloysius. Dominic had resolved to become a saint. His constant prayer to Don Bosco was: "Father, help me to become a saint." He often manifested the longing of his soul to help others in doing good with the following words: "Oh, would that I could gain all my friends and companions to God! How happy I would be then."

Nor was he satisfied with words only, for his prayers, his conversation, his study and even his games were a shining example, a living school of the divine apostolate. His counsels, admonitions, prayers and above all his sufferings were directed to the sole end of keeping his companions away from evil and of drawing them ever nearer to God. Often he was rapt in ecstasy during Holy Communion. He consecrated his heart to Mary Immaculate.

Dominic's Happy Death

So bright a flower, so tasteful a fruit of divine grace could not remain long on earth. It was soon ripe for Heaven. Thus the brilliant hopes centred on him were doomed to disappointment, for the end of his exile was near and the dawn of eternal light was fast approaching for him. He knew that his days were numbered, and he looked forward to death with a smiling face.

When, on March 9, 1857, in Mondonio d'Asti, the clock of Providence struck his hour, he passed away, exclaiming happily, "Oh, what a beautiful sight!" He was then 15 years old. His mortal remains lie in the Basilica of Mary, Help of Christians in Turin.

After Dominic's death, Don Bosco wrote an account of his life, and it pleased God to glorify the youth by miracles and special favours granted through his intercession. He was canonized in the year 1954.

_______________________________

A DREAM ABOUT ST. DOMINIC SAVIO

John Bosco had this dream in 1876, twenty years after Dominic Savio's death.

On the night of December the 6th, I dreamed as follows: It seemed to me as if I was standing on a hill, looking down on an immense plain that stretched away into the invisible distance. It was as blue as the sea in perfect calm, but what I was looking at was not water, it seemed like crystal, unblemished and sparkling.

Long and broad avenues divided the plain up into large gardens of indescribable beauty, in which were lawns , groves of ornamental trees, flowering shrubs and flower beds with an amazing variety of ornamental flowers.

What you have seen in gardens can give you little idea of how wonderful all this was. There were trees whose leaves seemed to be all of gold, the branches and trunks of precious stones.

Scattered here in there in the gardens were buildings whose appearance and magnificance rivaled the setting in which they stood. I could not estimate what sums of money even one of these would have cost to build. The thought ran through my head: "If I could have any one of these buidings for my boys, how happy they would be."

As I stood there rapt in wonder, the sound of sweet and entrancing music filled the air; all possible instruments seemed to be combining in wonderful harmony, and together with them choirs of singers.

I then saw great numbers of people in the garden, some walking, some sitting, all radiantly happy. Some were singing, some playing instruments, and it was obvious that they deprived equal pleasure from hearing the others as they did from the music they were making themselves.

They were singing in Latin these words: "All honor and glory to God the Almighty Father - Creator of the ages, who was, who is and will come to judge the living and the dead through all ages."

There now suddenly appeared a great army of boys.

Many of them I knew, boys who had been with me at the Oratory or in one of our schools: but the majority I did not know. This endless line began moving towards me; at it's head was Dominic Savio; after him several priests and many other priests and brothers, each at the head of a group of boys.

I did not know whether I was awake or dreaming; I clapped my hands together and felt my arms and chest in the endeavor to see how real was what I was seeing.

An intense, brilliant light now shone all around. All the boys were radiant with happiness; it shone from their eyes, and their faces had a look of ineffable peace and contentment. They smiled at me, and they looked as though they were going to say something, but no word was uttered.

Dominic now walked forward on his own until he stood close beside me. He stood there silently for a moment, smiling and looking at me. How wonderful he looked, how exquisitely he was clothed! The white tunic which reached to his feet was interwoven with golden threads and sparkling jewels. Around his waist he had a broad red sash, also interwoven with precious stones of every color, which sparkled and glittered in a thousand lights.

Around his neck there was a necklace of wild flowers, but the flowers were made of precious stones and the light they reflected , lit up further the beauty and dignity of Dominic's face. His hair, which was crowned with roses, hung down to his shoulders and completed the quite indescribable effect of his total appearance.

The others were dressed in varying degrees of splendor, all of which had their own symbolic meaning you would not understand. One thing they all had in common was the broad red sash around their waists.

I thought to myself: "What does all this mean? - Where on earth am I?" And I stood there silently, not daring to say a word.

Dominic then spoke.

"Why are you standing there as though you were dumb?" Are you not the one I knew who was always so fearless, able to sustain persecutions, calumnies and dangers of every kind? Have you lost your courage? Why do you not speak?"

Half stammering, I replied:

"I don't know what to say. Are you really Dominic Savio?"

"Yes, indeed. Don't you recognize me?"

"How is it that you are here?"

"I have come to talk with you," Dominic relied affectionately. "We spoke together so often when I was alive; you were always so kind and generous to me, and I responded to your love with my complete confidence and affection. Ask me anything you wish."

"Where am I," I asked.

"You are in a place of happiness," he replied, "where all that is beautiful can be enjoyed."

"Is this Heaven, then?"

"No, whatever is here is of the earth, although improved beyond conception by the power of God. No living person can ever see or imagine the wonders of eternity."

"Would it be possible to have natural light more brilliant than this?"

"Yes, quite possible . . . look there in the distance."

I looked, and a ray of light suddenly appeared, so penetrating and of such brilliance that I had to close my eyes, and I cried out in alarm so loudly, that I woke the priest who was sleeping in the room nearby. I opened my eyes after a moment and said:

"But that is surely a ray of divine light . . . "

"No, even that does not give you any idea. In Heaven we enjoy God and that in everything."

I had by now recovered from my initial amazement, and was looking at Dominic as he stood before me. I said: " Why are you wearing that dazzling white tunic?"

Dominic did not answer, but the choir of voices, beautifully sustained by the many instruments sang in Latin: "They had their loins girt and have washed their tunics in the blood of the Lamb."

"What does the red sash you wear mean?" I then asked. Again Dominic did not reply, and a solo voice sang the words: "They are virgins and they follow the Lamb wherever He goes."

I then realized that the blood red sash was a symbol of the great efforts and sacrifices made, the quasi - martyrdom suffered, to live a completely pure life. It symbolized also the spirit of penance, which cleanses the soul of its faults. The dazzling white of the tunic represented a life from Baptism to death without any serious rejection of God.

My eyes were drawn to the serried ranks of boys behind Dominic and I asked him:

"Who are these boys, and why are they all so radiant and resplendent?"

The answer came from the boys themselves, who began to sing in wonderful harmony:

"These are like the angels of God in Heaven. . ."

Dominic, although the youngest, was obviously the leader, standing out well ahead of them. I therefore asked him:

"Why is it that you take precedence over the others?"

"I am the oldest."

"But you are not," I replied; "there are many here much older than you."

"I am God's ambassador."

The meaning of what it was all about suddenly dawned on me, and i hastened to say:

"Let us talk about what concerns me and my work. Perhaps you have something important to tell me . . .Speak to me of the past, present and future of our work and of our dear sons . . ."

"With regard to the past, your Congregation has clearly done much good. Look over there at the great gatherings of the boys."

"How many they are, and how happy!"

"Look at what is written over the entrance to that garden," said Dominic. I looked and saw written:

Salesian Garden

"All those there are Salesians, or those who have been eduated by you and your sons, or who in some way or other have been sent on the way to God and their salvation made really possible. Count them if you can! But they would be many many more still, if only you had greater faith and confidence in God . . ."

I heaved a great sigh on hearing this admonition and determined to set no limit to my trust in God for the future.

Dominic then held before me a magnificant bunch of flowers; they were rose, violets, sunflowers, lilies, sprigs of evergreen and, most unusual for a bouquet, ears of wheat. He offered it to me and said:

"Look."

"I am looking," I replied, "but I don't understand a thing."

"Make sure that all your boys have it and that they defend it fearlessly against anyone who would try to take it from them. With these flowers secure in their possession, they can never fail to be happy."

"I still don't understand, please explain . . "

"These flowers represent the virtues and qualities which your boys need in order to be able to live for God instead of for themselves. The rose is the symbol of love, the violet of humility, the sunflower of obedience, the gentian of penance and self discipline, the ears of corn of frequent Communion, the lily of purity, the sprigs of evergreen of constancy and perseverence."

"No one was adorned with these flowers better than yourself," I said to him. "Tell me, what was your greatest consolation when you came to die."

"What do you think?" he answered.

I had several attempts at trying to say what I thought it might be, such as having lived a pure life, having heaped up so much treasure in Heaven by all his good works, and so on, but to all he shook his head with a smile.

"Tell me, then," I said, quite crestfallen at my failure; "what was it?"

"What helped me most and gave me greatest joy when I was dying," replied Dominic, "was the loving care and help of the great Mother of God. Tell your sons not to fail to keep close to her while they are alive." . . .

Oil Spill in the Apocalypse? Monday 5th July, 2010 Feast of St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria, C

2010-07-05T01:20:00.000-07:00

Oil Spill in the Apocalypse - by Brother Peter Dimond of the Most Holy Family Monastery (www.vaticancatholic.com)

Is the current oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico predicted in the Apocalypse? [ this discussion is not part of our Is the World about to End video, but is a separate discussion, even though it is perhaps related to it. ]

As basically everyone knows, there is a catastrophic oil spill occurring right now in the Gulf of Mexico which is heading the news, especially here in America.

It has the potential to be the worst oil spill of all time - it's already the worst environmental disaster in American history, and I think we might be seeing what is predicted Apocalypse 8: 8-9

We read "And the second angel sounded the trumpet and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea and THE THIRD PART OF THE SEA BECAME BLOOD. And the third part of those creatures died which had life in the sea, and a third part of the ships were destroyed."

We read that something which appears to be a great mountain in the sea was burning, and as a result of this burning mountain falling into the sea ,a third part of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which had life in the sea died.

As you can see in the pictures, the marshlands and the seas, look like they have been filled with blood - so visually the oil spill looks exactly like St. John described.

Also the cause of this problem, in which the sea is turned to blood, is something which appears to be "as it were a great mountain...." The oil spill caused by an explosion on an offshore oil drilling platform - a mountain in the sea burning with fire - keeping in mind they didn't have oil drilling platforms in St. John's day, then if he was shown a vision of those events, what else would he describe it ass, but as something that looks like a mountain in the sea on fire. Which seems to fit with the prophecy.

Now, is this the fulfillment of Apocalypse 8: 8-9 ?

- I don't know - it might be - I would say it all depends on how bad this gets - at the moment it looks like they can't stop the oil gushing out, not at least before August and possibly not until December.

This is different from other major oils spill in that it is not from a tanker, but from an offshore operation , where they are plugged into the earth or sea floor, and so the oil just keeps coming and coming.

According to some estimates, 4,000,000 gallons per day could be gushing, and so if that's the case it will be the worst oil spill of all time - and they are talking about it going right up the east coast, if they can't control it, and so who knows how much more water it will pollute. Already one third of the sea, around the spill has been polluted, making one third of the Gulf of Mexico off limits to fisherman already.

We see sad images of creatures dying, and it says that one third of the ships were destroyed.

How could that be fulfilled?

All of the fisherman who made their living in those parts of the sea, as well as other industries and businesses which are connected to that area of the sea - their livelihoods have been destroyed - their ships for all intents and purposes have been destroyed, and as the oil spreads so too will more of fishing industry be destroyed.

To get an idea just how bad this is, compare it to the 1989 Exxon Valdez in Alaska, which spilled about 11 million gallons of oil and was considered to be the most devastating man - made disaster in history because of the damage to wildlife.

The current catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico produces the equivalent of the Exxon Valdez about once a week with no known endpoint!

If we think about the prophecy in Apocalypse 16:3, we read, " And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea, and the sea became blood as it were of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea."

This verse seems to be a restatement of Apocalypse 8:8-9. It doesn't mention 1/3 of the sea, but it seems to parellel it, because the next verse also talks about rivers and fountains of water turning into blood - and that's what follows Apoc. 8: 8-9

Regardless if one believes that those verses, or one of those verses about the sea turning into blood, will have a physical fulfillment as opposed to a spiritual fulfillment, how would that be manifested in a way that the general population of the world would not see it as miraculous or a sign from God?

For example: God could, of course literally turn the waters into blood, from out of nowhere - but it would be hard to imagine a scenario where that would occur and the majority of the world would not recognize this as something miraculous or a sign from God.

But an oil spill, which turns the waters into what looks like blood and kills life in the sea, is also something which the general population can consider to be an accident. It is something that could fulfill what is prophecised.

Is the world about to End? - Part 10

Are we living through the Apocalypse? by Brother Peter Dimond of the Most Holy Family Monastery

( www.vaticancatholic.com )

A series of transcriptions from the video of the Apocalypse by Bro. Peter Dimond

____________________________

Brother Peter Dimond,

"It's quite interesting that this week ( April 21, 2010 ), right at the time we were finalizing some of the more important parts of this recent video series, about how we believe the EU is the beast out of the sea, a volcano erupted in Iceland, sending a dark ash cloud over Europe causing flight disruptions, and in fact grounding all flights from Europe for the first time in modern history.

What's so interesting about this phenomenon, is that the ash cloud seemed only to affect Europe - it affected other countries outside of Europe, in so far as they couldn't travel to or from Europe - basically the wind blew all the ash clouds towards Europe and stopped all flights.

Headlines read, "Iceland Volcano Eruption Continues to bring Dark Ash Clouds Over Europe." - April 18, 2010. Another interesting headline, "Cloud Over EU For Week."

So we had a dark ash cloud over the EU confined essentially to Europe, which I believe is the beast, and what I believe you might be seeing with it, is the fulfillment of Apocalypse 16:10.

Apocalypse 16:10. "And the fifth angel poured out his vial on the seat of the beast;and his kingdom became dark and they gnawed their tongues for pain: And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and wounds, and did not penance for their works."

We have the interesting prophecy of how the angel will pour out his vial upon the seat of the beast - well, if this is correct, what is the seat of the beast? Europe!

And what happens? His kingdom becomes dark. What did we see? A dark ash cloud over Europe - something they have never experienced before in modern history.

The flight disruption was bigger than 9/11, and some people are of the opinion that 9/11 was significant enough to be mentioned in the Bible - this was more significant than 9/11 in terms of disruption - it disrupted all of the flights for a longer period of time and more of them.

We see this prophecy about the kingdom of the beast, and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and they blasphemed God because of their pains and their wounds - we see people stranded, we see chaos, and we read the headlines "Volcano Flights Chaos Leaves Many Passengers Broke." - airlines losing $200 million a day - people stranded in Europe with nowhere to stay, and hotels are packed like they've never seen in modern history.

So, there is definite pain that has come with the volcanic ash cloud.

It's also interesting that the vial the angel pours out resulting in the dark ash cloud over the seat of the beast seems to parallel Exodus 16:16 and the ninth plague that was inflicted upon Pharaoh for refusing to let the Israelites go, " And the Lord said to Moses, 'Stretch out thy hand towards heaven, and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt."

And the darkness in that case, was so thick you couldn't see around you - what's so interesting is that the plague lasted three days - and if this disruption lasts three to five days, it would be as long a duration as that plague.

Some people might say it's not the same. No, but it's a different kind of darkness - it's extremely disruptive in terms of the modern world.

People have to think about, that if the Lord is going to come as a thief in the night, and when people don't expect it, yet there will also be these supernatural punishments - this is exactly the type of punishment/plague that could coincide with both of these realities and fulfills the prophecy.

Unless you are looking at it more carefully, you wouldn't necessarily perceive that it's an Apocalyptic punishment.

Also, interesting is in an overhead radar shot of the erupting volcano shows a crater with a face in it that looks like a demon - as reported in the news.

So the fact that it was confined essentially to Europe, is miraculous in itself, and causing so much pain and disruption to Europe, I believe this is the probably the fulfillment.

[ Ash cloud from Eyjafjallajokull volcano, Iceland around the 26th April, 2010, shows plume heading south and then southeast towards Britain and Europe ]

[ Ash cloud from Iceland volcano around the 22nd April, 2010, spreading east across northern British Isles - leaves a deposit of ash in many parts of Great Britain, and produces lavender sunset skies ]

[ a mixture of volcanic ash and sulphur dioxide in the stratosphere - together with the red light of the setting sun produces a color known as 'volcanic lavender.' - over parts of England]

[ dark ash cloud from the erupting Icelandic volcano cuts visibility down to zero for motorists!]

Is the World about to End? - Part 9 - Mark of the Beast

Are we living through the Apocalypse? by Brother Peter Dimond of the Most Holy Family Monastery

( www.vaticancatholic.com )

A continuing series of transcriptions from the video on the Apocalypse by Bro. Peter Dimond:

_______________________________

Bro. Peter Dimond,

"And, since St. John wrote the Apocalypse in Greek, it is most logical that the name of the person would equate to 666 in Greek - and so we see Benedict XVI's name, the name "Benediktos" in Greek = 666 exactly. And, since the head or king belongs to the beast, if the number of the final king is 666, that can also truly said to be the number of the beast.

Now, what is the evidence that this mark in the hand or on the forehead, the second beast gives is a spiritual mark?

The evidence is overwhelming that it is spiritual.

It says, he shall make people to have a mark in their hand or on their foreheads.

While, what's so interesting about this, is that in Greek it means emblem or sign, and in the Latin Vulgate we have the word for "mark" - "Characterem" - and I believe this is clearly a spiritual mark, because in the Book of Exodus and the Book of Deuteronomy, God commands people to keep His words as a sign "in thy hand and as a thing hung between thy eyes ... And it shall be as a SIGN in thy HAND, and a thing HUNG BETWEEN THY EYES, for a remembrance" - Exodus13:16

Between thy eyes - in other words - your forehead; he is saying His words or commands must be that.

Here again in Deuteronomy 11:18, "...hang them for a sign on your hands,and place them between your eyes."

Does that mean literally? Obviously not. This is a spiritual message here, although some people did have some of God's commandments on their foreheads, and they were called "Phylacteries" - and Jesus rebuked some of the Pharisees for having their phylacteries too big!

We read this in Matthew 23:5, where he rebukes the Pharisees or condemns them, saying, "All their works they do for to be seen by men...for they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge their fringes."

He is referring here to the fact that they would write some of the commandments on their foreheads - obviously not everyone did that - it wasn't a literal command that everyone had to do that - so it's a spiritual message.

So the forehead and the hand are symbolic for having God's truth and His commandments before your eyes, and your heart observing them.

And there's much more evidence that the mark of the beast has a spiritual fulfillment at least on some level.

In Apocalypse 9:4, we see that it was commanded them that "they should not hurt the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the SIGN of God ON THEIR FOREHEADS."

So, in Apoc 9:4. we know the Just have the sign of God on their foreheads - Is that an actual literal thing people can see? - No, not necessarily, it's a spiritual mark.

In Apocalypse 7: 2-3, we read that, "I saw another angel ascending having the sign of the Living God, and he cried out, " Hurt not the sea nor the earth nor the trees, until we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads." - Again, a spiritual sign.

In Apocalypse 14:1, we see it again - referring to the 144,000 Just - it says, that they "have his name, and the name of his Father written on their foreheads."

Is that a physical mark? No, it's a spiritual mark.

In Apocalypse 17:5, we read of the Great Harlot - it says, "And on HER FOREHEAD a name was written: Its mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of fornications, and the abomination of the earth."

So the Whore of Babylon has her name on her forehead, as well as a spiritual mark.

In Apocalypse 22:4, we read of the Just - "They shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads,"

And so, this is just overwhelming scriptural evidence that the Mark of the beast has a spiritual fulfillment, at least on some level, and when it talks about how the second beast causes people to have a mark on their right hand or in their forehead - I believe this is a spiritual mark given by Benedict XVI - and what is interesting about this mark is that in the Latin Vulgate, the word for "mark" is "characterem."

That's the exact same word used in the Council of Trent, in Latin, for the mark, the spiritual mark, the spiritual character - that's why it's "characterem." - and it's even translated character in the Douay - Rheims.

It's a spiritual character given in the Sacrament of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders.

Quoting from the Council of Trent, Session 7, Canon 9, on the Sacraments in general, it says, " If anyone shall say that in the three Sacraments, namely Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders, there is not imprinted on the soul a character [ characterem ] , that is, a certain spiritual and indelible mark...on account of which they are not able to be repeated ... Let him be anathema."

And so, for the spiritual mark given in Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders, the Council of Trent used the word "characterem" - it's a character, and indelible character.

In the Apocalypse in St. Jerome's Vulgate translation, he gives the exact same word for the mark in the right hand and the forehead that the second beast gives.

Now, what's important, additionally, is that in the Catholic Sacraments, the Christians are signed in their heads, in their foreheads as in Baptism, Confirmation, or in Ordination where the priests hands are annointed - so you have a reference to hand and head, hand and forehead .

What I believe that is referring to, is that the people are submitting to the beast, submitting to the antipope, who is also the beast - either by lay - people submitting to his new sacramental system, or as clergy, by receiving Orders under him, being marked in the hand..

And, I want to quote from Fr. Hermann Kramer's Book of Destiny - on the point of the forehead and hand, he says, " this alludes to the signing of the Faithful in Chapter VII. - The foreheads of Christians are signed in the Sacraments, while the hands of the priest are annointed. The False prophet may institute secret rites, through which the followers of Antichrist will be advanced by degrees into the deeper mysticism of his cult."

And so, he mentions that the hand and head, the signing in the hand and the head, seem to be quite similar to the signing in the Sacraments.

He didn't mention the issue of "characterem" or the similarity to the Council of Trent - and he refers to the second beast as the False Prophet, and he thinks that he's going to initiate secret rites.

I don't think he's going to - but it's referring to a new Church and a new sacramental system as one of the ways people are submitting to the beast, having their hands annointed in these false rites, and in submission to the antipope, who is also the beast.

Now, this is not to suggest that anyone who has ever received a sacrament from a clergyman of the Vatican II Church, is perpetually branded by the mark of the beast - No, I believe it's a general indication of how people are submitting to him, and that the beast, the antipope assumes an hierarchical position, in what people think is the Catholic Church, and that he is involved with new liturgical rites.

And so, we can see the evidence that the mark of the beast is spiritual, is overwhelming.

We see it in the Book of Exodus and Deuteronomy and throughout the Apocalypse, how the Just are spiritually marked on their foreheads - we also see how it parallels the signing in the Sacraments - we see how the word parallels the spiritual mark, which the Church says comes in the Sacraments.

It's almost a counter mark which is given to those who have abandoned the Faith and submitted to the counter Church.

Additionally, certain other verses, about the mark of the beast, shed even more light on this point.

For instance, Apocalypse 14:9. "And a third angel followed them with a loud voice saying, "If anyone shall worship the beast and his image, and receive the character on his forehead, or in his hand, he shall have no rest day or night. "

And so, it connects the mark or the character, in the forehead and hand, which is the spiritual mark, I believe, with worshipping the beast and his image, and it fits, because if Benedict XVI is the second beast getting people to worship the Antichrist, it would make sense that the spiritual mark, which comes with submitting to him, is also linked up with worshipping his image - and we see that clearly in this verse, and in the verses that those who submit to the beast are damned.

So, there is a connecton to submitting to the beast, submitting to the counter Church, and worshipping the image.

We see the same thing in Apocalypse 24:4 - it speaks of those who had overcome, "not worshipped the beast, nor his image, nor received his character on their foreheads, or in their hands, and they reigned with Christ."

So we see the link between the mark in the head and the mark in the hand, which I believe is spiritual, with not worshipping the beast or his image.

A continuing transcription from the video on the Apocalypse by Bro. Peter Dimond

_______________________________

Bro. Peter Dimond,

" Now I want to move to the Mark of the beast.

In Apocalypse 13: 16-18, we find, what is surely the most famous verse of the Apocalypse - we read, "And he should make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freeman and bondman, to have a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead, and that no man might buy or sell, but he hath the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name: here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred and sixty six."

So, we have a number of different statements there, and people, often when considering this verse or verses, join them all together. But there are a number of different statements which will have to be looked at individually, and so, I want to begin by focusing on the second part of this set of statements.

Before I do that, people have to remember the whole point I have been making, throughout this discussion, is that if something is done by the empire itself, the beast coming out of the sea, that is done by the beast. And if something is done by the head of the beast, that is done by the beast.

But that which is done by the beast of the empire itself, doesn't necessarily have to be done by the head of the beast.

Now, I want move to the second statement: "And that no man might buy or sell, but he hath the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

Here is a coin of the EU - on the Euro coin, we can see the image or mark of the European Union - we see the map of the Empire area, the Mediterranean, Italy, and the boot - on every single Euro coin.

It's also on every single European cash note - here's a picture of a Euro cash note - you can see the map of the European Union ( EU ), with the Mediterranean etc.

On some of the smaller denominations of money, they don't have a full map, but they have an image or mark of the different countries so they have the Union represented.

The mark is on every single Euro coin or cash note - it's also interesting, that when you look at this Euro coin, you see six stars at the top and six stars at the bottom, and you see six lines connecting them - so you have 666 on all coins!

However, there's a much more interesting 666 connection, which I will discuss.

In the Eurozone, even though the Eurozone isn't directly identical to the European Union, there are a few countries which are in the EU, which are not in the Eurozone, and there are a few countries which are in the Eurozone which are not in the EU.

Here is a map of the Eurozone - you can see basically the whole western area - this whole block of continental Europe is part of the Eurozone.

So, no man can buy or sell , whether you are using cash or coins without the Mark of the Beast, the beast coming out of the sea.

So, St. John saw the Roman Empire, the beast arising out of the sea, and then he sees the new Roman Empire arising out of the sea; then he sees its currency and he sees the mark of the beast on every single coin and cash note - so one can see how this fits precisely with what he said.

It's also interesting, that with the Euros, you have, on the coins, a national side and a common side.

For instance, if you are in France, you would have a side specialized for France, but it will have a common side, which will have the map of the Union, the mark of what I believe is the beast out of the sea.

And, a country can't modify the common side which has the mark without that money ceasing to be legal tender.

Now, what's very interesting is that there was a Euro released in Greece, with its national side and the common side - on the national side you had the "woman on the beast."

St. John sees the woman on the beast - that's how he depicts the beast with seven heads and ten horns. We showed that Europa, from Greek mythology, was depicted as a woman riding on a beast.

The EU uses that very symbol for itself - "the woman on a beast" - and we have it on the Greek Euro coin, the national side, a woman on a beast. And this is even more important to consider, because St. John was receiving this vision on the Island of Patmos, which is in modern day Greece.

And so, if he were alive today, when he was receiving this vision, he would be in Greece - he would be part of the EU - in which the specialised coin they released, had the image of the woman on a beast.

So, you can see what he's prophesying about the beast coming out of the sea, and it has its mark on all of its currency - you can't buy or sell without it - could very well, I believe, be fulfilled here.

Some people might say, "Well, what about payment in other ways, outside of cash or coins, such as credit cards or other kinds of payments?" What's interesting is that it says in this verse, "No man might buy or sell unless he has the mark of the beast, the name of the beast or the number of his name."

And the name of the beast, means the authority of the beast - so that would be a way of indicating payment in other ways - but we have to remember, this is a general statement about what's going on - it's not necessarily all exclusive, and so if no one can buy or sell, in cash and coins, without the mark of the beast, I believe that's fulfilled.

It's also worth noting that people who comment on the Greek in this passage, point out that though it's usually translated, "No man might buy or sell," it it doesn't necessarily mean every man - it could be a general prohibition, or a large portion or some.

So, if there are any exceptions at all to that, it doesn't disprove what has been prophesized, or show that it cannot be the fulfillment, because even those who imagine that a system will come in which there is a total universal prohibition, of buying and selling without some kind of mark, they would have to admit there would probably be some people who were trading, or buying and selling outside of the system.

So, even if there are a few exceptions, it does not invalidate the point, because we have to remember St. John is writing from the Mediterranean Sea, the Roman Empire - he's writing to people within the Roman Empire - he's concerned with what's going to happen in Europe and in the area of the Mediterranean.

Some people are also under the impression that the Bible says, that"whosoever buys or sells with the mark of the beast, is damned." The Bible doesn't teach that, as we will see.

The passages which talk about those who are damned, for having the mark, are damned for having the mark in their hand or forehead, and adoring the image - so there is a link between the mark and the hand and the forehead, which I am going to discuss, and adoring the image of the beast.

It doesn't say those who buy or sell with the mark of the beast are damned. Not once! And so, I believe this is the fulfillment of what St. John was prophesying concerning the buying and selling, and the mark of the beast.

Now, moving back to the first part of the statement concerning how the second beast causes all, geat and small to have a mark or character in their right hand or on their foreheads - and it goes on to say, that the number of the beast, is the number of a man, and the number of the man is six hundred and sixty six.

There is overwhelming scriptural evidence, that the mark of the beast is a spiritual fulfillment, in addition to what I believe is the physical fulfillment, concerning the buying and selling - but before I get to that, I want to point out that Benedict XVI's name in Greek, "Benediktos" = 666 !

That is stunning!

If he is the second beast, as I believe he is, and if he is the seventh king, the final one who will cause people to worship the first beast "whose deadly wound was healed," and causes people to worship the Antichrist, because most commentators identify the first beast who was wounded as the Antichrist, and the second beast who causes people to worship him as the false prophet, that also would fit with John Paul II and Benedict XVI, because John Paul II fits precisely with the figure of Antichrist, Benedict XVI because of his false reputaton as a conservative, fits with the title of "false prophet," causing people to worship the Antichrist.

So, it has the seventh king, the second beast, the last king causing people to worship the king who was wounded, could it be the reason his name equals 666, is a signal that he is the seventh king, because as we saw in Apoc. 7, " FIVE are fallen, one is" - the sixth is, when the beast comes into existence - " the other has not yet come, and when he is come, he must remain a short time."

And so, if he is the seventh king, the fact that his name in Greek = 666, is that a signal that he is the final individual causing people to worship the Antichrist? - I believe so.

People throughout history have always speculated who the beast might be - "Was it Nero, or someone else?" - and they have tried to force fit the name usually by adding letters so as to get the numerical value to come out to 666 - sometimes it would be in a different language, like Latin or Hebrew .

But, Benedict XVI's name comes out to exactly 666, and it does so in Greek, and that's the crucial language - St. John wrote the Apocalypse in Greek!

Is the World about to End? Part 7

Are we living through the Apocalypse? by Brother Peter Dimond of the Most Holy Family Monastery

( http://www.vaticancatholic.com/ )

A Continuing series of transcripts from the video of the Apocalypse by Bro. Peter Dimond:

Bro. Peter Dimond,

"Another point that is important, that even though the scripture is very clear in connecting the beast coming out of the sea with the seven heads or kings over the seven hilled city, in Kings 6:7, some people may say - "Well , I don't see the direct connection between the kings of the Vatican City State and the EU, even though scripture seems to connect them " - and what people need to realize is, that the EU does not just represent a political entity.

As we showed earlier, St. John is describing the woman on a beast as Europa, and he's looking at it from a standpoint of not only a political union - well, yes he is - but also as a big ecclesiastical whore, because Europe was dedicated to Christ - all of these nations enshrined the true religion as part of their laws; they were dedicated to Christ and now they have rejected Him.

They have become one big whore - they have become Godless, and accept homosexuality and abortion, and all kinds of immorality and paganism, and false religions and indifferentism.

And so, Europe is one big ecclesiastical whore with a political reality.

And, whose at the centre of this ecclesiastical whore?

The kings in Rome, the antipopes of the Vatican II sect; and so they are directing the course of the transformation of Europa from Catholic Europe into this big ecclesiastical whore, which has a political union in the European Union.

So there is a direct connection between the antipope and Europa as an entity, and what matters most to God and St. John is the spiritual and ecclesiastical reality with the political consideration and entity being secondary.

It makes sense that he would describe the king of the seven hilled city, and the Roman harlot, as riding on top of the beast, because it is the antipope in Rome, and the Roman harlot which is directing the course of Europe's transformation, and is ultimately responsible for it.

It's also interesting to note that the signing of the European Union Constitution on October 29, 2004, occurred on Rome's Capitoline Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome - I don't think that's an accident, because the European Union is the revised Roman Empire, and as we've been discussing, it represents one big ecclesiastical harlot, which ultimately came from the Apostasy in Rome, from the Catholic Faith.

And, it is fitting that the new Godless Empire is signed in the city of seven hills - showing again, the link with the seven hilled city and Apocalypse 17.

And, so moving back into what the Apocalypse says about the second beast, causing people to worship the first beast, whose wound to death is healed; it says, in Apocalypse 13:15, "And it was given to him to give life to the beast, and that the image of the beast should speak."

Well, what's interesting, is that the words "give life" - word "life" in Greek is "pneuma" which means "spirit" - well, when he "canonizes" him, he will be officially declaring that John Paul II has eternal life, that he has the Holy Spirit forever!

So that fits precisely. It also says, "that the image of the beast should speak."

Well, when he "canonizes" him, if he does that, he will bring his words back into focus - he will give him a renewed voice; his teachings will again resonate with people; he might even declare him a "Doctor of the Church," which would give his words even more power in the false church.

And so, he will speak to the world again.

And, I believe that fits as well - and it goes on to say, in that same verse, "that he should cause , that whosoever will not worship the image of the beast should be slain. " - Apocalypse 13:5

Well, people will say, "Is he going to kill people?"

No, I don't believe so - the word for "slain" is [apokteino] - that's the Greek word, which usually means, physically kill, but it doesn't always - in fact, within the range it has the meaning of "to cause the loss of spiritual life."

In fact, it's used several times in the Bible with that meaning. In 2 Corinthians 3:6, and in Romans 7:11, the same Greek word "apokteino" is used not to mean physical death, but to cause the loss of spiritual life, and I want to quote Romans 7:11, "For sin taking occasion by the commandment,seduced me , and by it killed [ apokteino ] me.

Is St. Paul saying it physically killed him? No, he's not. He's referring to spiritual death here - so it can mean to cause the loss of spiritual life.

Now, if Benedict XVI "canonizes" John Paul II, he will clearly be causing that whosoever will not worship his image as a saint, should be cut off, in the sense of loss of spiritual life, absolutely.

He wouldn't even have to add an anathema to that, because a canonization in Catholic theology is binding.

A beatification, is a solemn declaration or recogniton by the Church, or a true pope, that a particular individual can be venerated. It doesn't force the Church or command the Church to enrol him as a saint, but it allows that individual to be honored - so there's a key distinction

The canonization causes people to worship him in the sense of veneration, not adoration or "latria." It causes that person, if that person wishes to remain with the Universal Church to honor that person and venerate him as a saint - and if you don't, you are not part of that church.

So, if he "canonizes" him, he will fulfill that - and he might even add an anathema - that really would be something if he did that - because then it would anathematize anyone! He would not need to, but if he did it would be interesting!

Here's something else which is really interesting - this is a quote from a Protestant essentially analyzing how the two beasts in Apocalypse 13 will interact, based on his reading of the text - and obviously, I don't think this Protestant would agree with what we are saying, because what we are pointing out, shows that the real battle involves things Catholic, because the Catholic Church is the true Church.

Here's what he says, "The second beast does, that is exercises all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and makes the earth and all its inhabitants worshp the first beast. It also does, that is performs great and miraculous signs, so as to make fire come down from the sky in full public view - the second beast is given power to do this and other signs in order to deceive the earth's inhabitants, telling them to make an image in honor of the first beast."

And so, that's their analysis of what the text says will happen - and John Paul II, and Benedict XVI ( if he "canonizes" him ), will fit all of that, precisely!

I quote that to show you how clearly that seems to fit in with what is written in Apocalypse 13 - so we can see how this fits in with Benedct XVI as the second beast getting people to worship an image of John Paul II, the first beast or precisely the head of the first beast who was wounded.

And what we have covered here, and the EU as the empire coming out of the sea, will also fit with the mark of the beast, which I will discuss.

Additionally, I want to say, that while I believe that the "canonization" of John Paul II, will absolutely fulfill what we are reading here, there is a chance that it could be fulfilled by "beatification" itself - and that a "canonization" may not even be necessary.

And the reason for that is , that the word "proskuneo" is used in this verse and in Apocalypse 13:12 about how the second beast is getting people to venerate or worship as a saint, the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed - that word also, can entail "to kiss the hand in reverence" or "to fall upon one's knees and touch his forehead on the ground in submission," or to make supplication, or as an act of homage and veneration by similar bodily movements.

And so, if there is a huge "beatification" ceremony with his image, and his image is spread all over the Vatican II sect, and people are venerating it in churches, even before the "canonization," that might fulfill what is written here; however, I would say that is less likely, and I believe the "canonization" is what is being referred to here, and that will, without any question fulfill what is written here.

Now, I want to move to the MARK of the Beast, because the things that are said about the mark of the beast are fascinating, and I believe they fit with what I've been saying about the EU and these two antipopes - these two beasts.
