Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI cannot walk on water

As the successor of St. Peter, Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI cannot walk on water just like Peter couldnot (no matter how much "more faith" he thinks he has than -- Peter to whom Christ said "O ye of little faith"). Benedict XVI may have "bigger faith" than Peter because he has a Ph.D in theology and has written so many theology books and he is called as the "Conscience of our Age" but to be more precise "faulty conscience" (see indepth articles in this weblog). So inspite of his great faith and knowledge of 2,000 years of Catholicism and his powers in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and now his infallible powers as Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI cannot walk on water.

Benedict XVI believes he has the "perfect faith in Jesus" in Dominus Jesu and everone else have deficient faith and most of all he served Notification on Jon Sobrino because this Jesuit's knowledge of Christ is "not sufficient" (like Peter) Benedict XVI cannot walk on water. With his red shoes, Prada shoes as the Devil wears Prada, red shoes of the fisherman, Benedict XVI cannot walk on water. Even GAY Zeffirelli couldnot produce a movie no matter what tricks he uses to make Benedict XVI walk on water. Inspite of all the Opus Dei WORLD DOMINATION Powers he claims he has Benedict XVI cannot walk on water.

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI cannot change water into wine

Christ turned the water into wine in Cana -- but the Vicar of Christ and Supreme Pontiff Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI canNOT change water into wine -- and therefore as High Priest Cardinal Ratzinger and Benedict XVI he cannot turn the wine into the Blood of Christ during the Mass.

No matter how much Opus Dei spin their lies after lies through NCR cafe John Allen the Pinnochio-nose of Opus Dei, Benedict XVI is powerless, Benedict XVI cannot walk on water and Benedict XVI cannot change water into wine and most of all Benedict XVI cannot change the wine into the Blood of Christ during Mass. Opus Dei and Benedict XVI are fathers of lies and St? Josemaria Escriba de Balaguer is THE Father of Lies partner of Lucifer. Opus Dei is Opus Satanas!

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI is schizophrenic

Benedict XVI is nothing but a pathetic old actor filled with make-up each morning to cover up his ugliness, donning on expensive papal costumes that can feed an entire African village, living with his GAY live-in secretary 30-years younger than him and wallowing in the Vatican Palace that rival that of King Herod his successor. Benedict XVI is both a successor of St. Peter and King Herod all in one. Benedict XVI is schizophrenic and is an Octopus Dei beast. Benedict XVI is 'characterized by the coexistence of disparate or antagonistic elements' of sanctity and beastiality of power claiming to hold the power over 1.2 Billion Catholics and who goes to Heaven or Hell while he himself is the living deception mirror of Lucifer. "Mirror, Mirrow on the wall, who is the most powerful of them all", the reply comes "He who is the least shall be the greatest and Jon Sobrino is the least and you have beheaded him like St. John the Baptist by silencing him and preventing him to speak and write"......so in his angst and anger Benedict XVI and Opus Dei did not say ONE Mass with the 225 Jesuits from around the world in Rome at their 35th General Congregation......perpetuating the hatred of St. Josemaria against the Jesuits. Hell knows no fury like Opus Dei scorned. Opus Dei hate like Satan. Opus Dei is Opus Satanas!

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI is antithesis of St. Peter

Unlike the first pope Peter who didn't cause one child to sin, Benedict XVI is on-the-record that he has caused twelve thousand American children to sin when he covered-up the most heinous crime of priest-pedophilia in church history for 27 years. Benedict XVI caused hundreds of thousands of victims of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army to sin and he admitted it in his quasi-apology in his recent trip to the USA. Benedict XVI apologized hoping to escape investigation and judgment by the United Nations on his violation against the Children Charter of Rights when he covered-up more than 5,448 American pedophile priests as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith who sodomized more than 12,000 American children.

Pope Benedict XVI secret Opus Dei "Code of Hatred" against the Jesuits

Well, well, Opus Dei thought we couldn't crack the "secret code of hatred against the Jesuits" that St? Josemaria has when he swore into secrecy that -- he and all popes after him must NOT say ONE Mass with the Jesuits in Rome -- at the 35th General Congregation of the Jesuits, Benedict XVI did not have ONE single Mass with them. So the Devil John Paul II who said that the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Church deprived the Jesuits of that source and summit because only the Opus Dei are to be in that source and summit and everyone else are to be below and inferior to them. St? Josemaria and Opus Dei are the PRIDE of LUCIFER in the 21st century.

Let's make this very clear: Benedict XVI and the Opus Dei priests are like Satan and are "fathers of lies" and Satan and St? Josemaria are WORLD DOMINATION partners. The Mystical Marriage couple Pope John Paul II and St? Josemaria couldnot walk on water neither can Benedict XVI . Pope John Paul II and St? Josemaria couldnot change water into wine --and therfore they couldnot change the host and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ and neither can Benedict XVI and Opus Dei priests change water into wine and therefore cannot change the host and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass. God is not so stupid as to allow his only Son to be cloned and stem-cell reproduce in an instant at the Mass through the hands of sin-full priests and sin-full GAY men and criminal priest-pedophiles and LIAR-priests Opus Dei who imitate Satan and Escriba the "Father of Lies". It is about time that 1.2 billion Catholics stop their pagan beliefs in the Eucharist and stop giving money to hocus-pocus Pope Benedict XVI and Opus Dei "fathers of lies" matrix clones of Satan...Opus Dei is Opus Satanas!

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI cannot walk on water like John Paul II

Peter could not walk on water. Inspite of the actual and real presence of Christ in person, Peter could not walk on water.
John XXIII could not walk on water even if he started Vatican II.
John Paul II could not walk on water even if he is the most travelled pope and he wrote the most encyclicals and papal bulls and canonized the most bumber saints than all popes combined.
Benedict XVI can NEVER walk on water no matter how many titles he make his journalist-liars John Allen, George Weigel, Andrew Greeley, Mother Angelica, etc. write about him...and no matter how much make-up he paste on his ugly face and let Zeffirelli orchestrate his papal deception acts each day, Benedict XVI can NEVER walk on water. Benedict XVI has no powers on Earth as it will be in Heaven. Benedict XVI and Opus Dei are clones "Fathers of Lies" of Lucifer Satan-St? Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer the Father of lies.

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI is King Herod of the 21st Century

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI is King Herod of the 21st Century because he (behaeaded) silenced the Jesuit priest Jon Sobrino in El Salvador.

Herod was a "good" king, he built the city of Jerusalem and defended it against its enemies, but he had one great sin, he beheaded St. John the Baptist (whose feast we celebrate this June 24, 3 days before the feast of Saint? Josemaria Escriva, what an irony!)

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI may be a "good" pope but like Herod he has one great sin -- he silenced Jon Sobrino, the John the Baptist of the 20th and 21st Century.

John Allen the Pinnochio nose and journalist-liar of Opus Dei lied when he said that Benedict XVI is a good pope because he only served "Notification" on John Sobrino, what he did not say is that it is the Opus Dei Bishop of El Salvador who Silenced Jon Sobrino and forbid him to write and to speak in any Catholic university including the Jesuit university of Centramericana where Jon Sobrino has worked all his life. So like John the Baptist (without the blood) Jon Sobrino too is beheaded......like the 12,000 American victims (without bloodshed) of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. (Remember: the Eucharist is the sacrifice of Christ - without the bloodshed). The Opus Dei and Pope Benedict XVI and their journalists-liars like John Allen are experts in covering-up sins. But the pedophile-altar at the Vatican from where John Paul II and Benedict XVI worshipped for more than 27 years is the cause of the demise of the Catholic Church and the Vatican will sink and burn to the ground as Pope Leo the X has seen in a vision.

Opus Dei Benedict XVI Eucharist-lies: Sacrament of Satan

So the Pope dons on the most exquisite liturgical vestments, do some special rubrics of the Mass, say it in Latin the "sacred language" and pronto, the little host baked by the nuns and some wine harvested by the monks becomes the real flesh and blood of God! What black magic! That is tantamount to George W. Bush who dons on a soldier's uniform, holds on a US Army gun, make some gestures as if he was firing the gun, and pronto, he just re-enacted the "same" war in Iraq...and therefore he is a war hero, exactly like the young soldier who was killed in Iraq!

The Opus Dei and the Pope claim that the Eucharist is the "same" sacrifice of Christ as in Calvary...just like George W. Bush claims to be an American hero fighting in Iraq while he is actually in the White House. The Eucharist is a perpetual insult to Christ and his suffering and crucifixion in Calvary. To say that Pope Benedict XVI who lives in the lap of luxury at the Vatican Palace is the "same" as poor-suffering Christ is the biggest Catholic lie ever. Christ said that "Satan is the father of lies", and therefore in reality, the Pope is the "father of lies" and his sacrament of the Eucharist is the Sacrament of Satan...

Stem Cell reproduction and cloning of Christ's body and blood

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI is against stem-cell research but they claim that the formula of the Mass at the consecration when the priest say "Take this and eat it for this is my body...etc." makes the host turn into the ADULT Body and Blood of Christ at Calvary -- is like instantaneous stem-cell reproduction and cloning faster than the speed of light. This Consecration of the Mass is hocus focus and is the biggest lie of Satan. There is only ONE Christ who is THE LAMB of God sinless and worthy to be sacrificed to God and ALL other men includng the Pope and the priests are sin-full men and all are not worthy to multiply cheaply the flesh and blood of God whether through consecration in the Mass or cloning in laboratories.

Satan and Opus Dei WORLD DOMINATION AGENDA manifested in June

Satan is copied by St? Josemaria Escriva in his WORLD DOMINATION AGENDA. St. Josemaria celebrates his feast this June and all major Bailicas and cathedrals in the world are being feted by Cardinals and Bishops worshipping the altar of St? Josemaria who is the androgynous husband of Pope John Paul II -- they are wed as GAYS in the fires of Hell.
International Eucharistic Congress

There are thousands of Catholics from around the world who traveled to Quebec City this week of June 15 to June 22 for the International Eucharistic Congress, but they are not talking and investigating how the Body and Blood of Christ was used to perpetuate the most heinous crime of the JPIIPPA John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army of the 20th Century.
49th International Eucharistic Congress

A few months ago, 225 top Jesuits also traveled from around the world to Rome for their once-in-a-lifetime meeting, but the Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI did not say ONE single Mass with them! Why?

In their hatred for the Jesuits, the Opus Dei -- refused a Mass of Benedict XVI with the Jesuits -- during the Jesuits' two month General Congregation in Rome in January and February of this year (we covered this in depth in this weblog.)

The Opus Dei use the sacrament of the Eucharist as one of their weapons in their WORLD DOMINATION AGENDA. They made John Paul II write that the "Eucharist is the source and summit of the church"...therefore the Jesuits do not belong to this source and summit when they were deprived of the Pope's Mass in Rome.
It is amazing how drugged Catholics can get with the Eucharist and what lies they feed on like swines wallowing on mud.
Eucharist fed demonic pedophile-priests

If the Eucharist really is the "body and blood of Christ", it had really fed more than 5,485 Pedophile Priests of John Paul II for 27 years. The body of God has fed the most demonic pedophile priests......and at the same time poisoned their more than 12,000 American victims! Can God be so stupid as to feed his flesh and blood to the most heinous priest-criminals of the 20th century? Christ said: Do not cast your pearls to the swine, yet he with the Body and Blood of Christ used his own bodies to feed those pedophile-priests who are worse than swines?
Opus Dei Holy Cross deception

The Eucharist is "Do it memory of me", it is a memorial, it isn't the "same" sacrifice in Calvary -- because there is only ONE Christ and therefore only One sacrifice in Calvary. But of course, Saint? Josemaria Escriva y Balaguer de Opus Dei because he was an inferiority complexed Spanish peasant raised himself to be semi-god and therefore he acts as if he is a reincarnation of Christ and a re-enactment of the Cross of Calvary that is why he called the Opus Dei "the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross"...and his entire coffin is within the altar of the Opus Dei church in Rome. He also called the Opus Dei university in Rome "the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross".

Opus Dei control all diocese

The Opus Dei of St? Josemaria use the Sacrament of the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Penance to control all his members, the Pope and the Cardinals and Bishops who must confess only to Opus Dei priests. Check the main Archdiocese of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, Boston, et cetera around the world, there are at least 2 Opus Dei priests hears confession weekly because they need to have a permanent presence in the diocese to control the Cardinals and Bishops. Check the priests who are constantly in the presence of the Pope, the evil-fox Mahony or McCarrick, Cardinal Bernard Law in Rome as they orchestrate lies after lies to control the 1.2 billion Catholics.

No-Pope-Mass and no-Benedict XVI Mass for Jesuits in Rome

Look at the 225 top Jesuits in Rome for 8 weeks, 2 months, more than 90 days in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI did not say ONE single Mass with them, not at the Vatican and not at the Gesu church? Yet the Pope flew to Washington and New York to say Mass at the biggest stadiums. Why, because Saint? Josemaria Escriba said it so - when he was alive and now that he is dead and his soul burning in Hell. Lucifer-clone-Josemaria-Escriba made it clear that there must be no Sacrament of the Eucharist or Confession with-the-Jesuits mingled with the Opus Dei members. "I would prefer a million times that a daughter of mine die without the Last Sacraments than that they be administered to her by a Jesuit". Proud Lucifer Escriba demanding worship ala Lucifer in Heaven before his downfall to Hell. The Devil is the father of lies and St? Josemaria is the modern father of lies. The Devil possesses new men in each era, Hitler, Stalin, now St? Josemaria Escriva. The Opus Dei is Opus Satanas par excellence.

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI & Saint? Josemaria Glory of Satan

Benedict XVI worships at the altar of Saint? Josemaria whose entire coffin is within the altar at Our Lady of Peace Church in Rome, the flagship church of Opus Dei. Saint? Josemaria is the spitting image of the pride of Lucifer who demanded to be worshiped alongside the throne of God: "There are many popes but there is only one founder of Opus Dei" was his favorite mantra and all popes starting with his mystical husband Pope John Paul II must kneel and bow before him. That is why the canonization for John Paul II is in full gear so that they can both march at the same pace in the aisle of Hell.

The tomb of Saint? Josemaria is THE altar and center of the WORLD DOMINATION of Opus Dei where Latin Mass is said everyday...and only men-priest can touch...that is how mcuh Opus Dei hates women! Yap, this poor peasant Balaguer from an unknown little village in Spain rose to fame in the company of Pinochet, Hitler and Stalin. Yap, androgynous Josemaria Escriva controls the papacy with his Opus Dei books that are published exclusively by Opus Dei printing press worldwide. Every Cardinals and Bishops and popes are to read his books everyday as their daily meditation. No wonder, "the worst crop of Cardinals and Bishops" are so drugged in OD Latin Ecstasy that they are all numb to priest-pedophilia and their tens of thousands of victims worldwide.

Benedict XVI had to make a few words of apology in New York because he is scared to death that the United Nations will take on the letter of SNAP to investigate him for violating the Charter of Rights of Children because he covered-up priest-pedophilia for more than 27 years. So his Opus Dei journalists-liars, John Allen, George Weigel are in Octopus Dei media spin to save his papal face and fool Americans and the United Nations. Christ said that : the Devil is the father of lies...so is Benedict XVI and the Opus Dei the fathers of lies.

Benedict XVI and Opus Dei HATE the Jesuits

The greatest proof of the Opus Dei's hatred for the Jesuits was carved in stone during the General Congregation 35 of the Jesuits from January to early March of this year --- when Benedict XVI did NOT celebrate one single Mass with them. The 225 Jesuits visited the Pope and he read his speech to them for half an hour, had their photos taken, but no coffee, no tea, no Mass. From his grave in Hell, St? Josemaria rules the Vatican and the Catholic Church from his evil altar and his words is followed to its literal interpretation: "I would prefer a million times that a daughter of mine die without the Last Sacraments than that they be administered to her by a Jesuit". Therefore the Pope and the Opus Dei obeying St? Josemaria made sure that the new Jesuit Superior General Fr. Nicholas did not celebrate one single Mass with Benedict XVI and the Jesuit Gesu Church is only a stone throw away near the Vatican Palace. That is how EVIL Benedict XVI truly is and his hypocrisy and hatred for the Jesuits is cast in history forever with the fact that he did not celebrate ONE Mass with the Jesuits in Rome. Christ said Mass with 12 Apostles but Benedict XVI did not say one Mass with 225 Jesuit Apostles. Benedict XVI is no Holy Father to the Jesuits or to the world, he is the Devil's son Josemaria Escriba's puppet and stupid servant. No professional journalists liars like John Allen and George Weigel can un-do this incontrovertible proof of the Opus Dei's hatred for the Jesuits when Benedict XVI did not say ONE Mass with the General Congregation 25 Jesuits in Rome.

Pope John Paul II called the Eucharist as the source and summit of the mission of the church and behold 225 Jesuits from around the world were in Rome for 2 months, but in his once in a lifetime as Pope Benedict XVI denied them the Mass at the Vatican. Why because the Opus Dei owns the Vatican and St? Josemaria and all Opus Dei members HATE the Jesuits to the marrow of their bones!

Opus Dei Benedict XVI's pedophiliac belly

Benedict XVI claims to be the Vicar of Christ but he has no resemblance of the true Christ whatsoever. Their greatest differences can be seen on their lifestyle: Christ was a poor itinerant preacher, Benedict XVI lives in the Vatican Palace that rivals the Caesars’ and royalties of Europe. Christ said that it is better that a millstone in someone who causes a child to sin, Benedict XVI had the pedophiliac belly to suppress the priest pedophilia for over 27 years. Pope Leo X had a vision of the Vatican sinking in a deep hole with not one pillar standing – worse than the Temple of Solomon. Today we know why—that ‘s because the two Opus Dei Pope were worshiping in the altar of pedophilia and John Paul II had a millstone tied to his neck and so does Benedict XVI inspite of his pretentious mea culpa in New York.

In EWTN, Mother Angelica posts the major Basilicas and Cathedrals int eh world and the Opus Dei Cardinals and Bishops who will celebrated in Latin style the feast of St? Josemaria Escriba. EWTN is the servant of the Octopus Dei WORLD DOMINATION AGENDA.

Mother Angelica the Bride Diamond

How many women members of VOTF can afford to wear a one-carat diamond ring or at least a 0.25 carat on their finger…while Mother Angelica has $50 Million worth of diamonds and jewels within her monastery in Alabama? And how many women of VOTF or women in America can afford the time to pray and chant and speak like Mother Angelica? Most of all, how many of the $3 Billion settlement victims of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, more than 12,000 American boys and girls, can afford and have one minute of safety in Mother Angelica’s secure $250 Million fenced monastery? (And these were the prices of more than 10 and 20 years ago.)

In the movie Blood Diamond starring Leonardo DiCaprio, based on a true story, the introduction states:

Sierra Leonne, 1999.

Civil war rages for control of the diamond fields.
Thousands have died and millions have become refugees.
None of whom has ever seen a diamond.


In the same year, on December 19, 1999, another television event in America was happening in Alabama at the EWTN Eternal Word Television Network when its founder Mother Angelica inaugurated the Temple of the Eucharist" that holds her diamonds at her monastery...... and her intention was to “overwhelm everybody” – according to her official biography. Mother Angelica's Temple of the Eucharist surpasses the Taj Mahal and imitates the jewels of the Temple of Solomon...and is encrusted with the Blood Diamonds from Sierra Leonne.

Leonardo's character in the movie says : "God has left this place long time ago". And he is so right because Jesus apparently is now living in the Blood Diamond temple of Mother Angelica, his Diamond Bride who houses him - away from Sierra Leone: Mother had ordered that the interior back wall of the tabernacle – home of the monastery’s most precious possession, the Eucharist – be encrusted with diamonds, visible only to the Occupant. Jesus deserved the very best.

EWTN, Alabama, Deceomber 19, 1999

After spending more than $50 Million and expending countless hours approving and planning every details of the temple, Mother Angelica, like millions around the word, watched its consecration on television.

The Consecration of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament had to be moved to December 19, 1999, due to shipping delay of chapel furnishing from Germany and Spain.
For the public, it was a first time glimpse of the Romanesque-Gothic Temple Mother had talked about for years. Her intention to “overwhelm everybody, should they forget the reality that this is God’s presence – God’s House -” was more than fulfilled.

The camera honed in on the twenty-four-karat-gold-leaf reredos rising like a castle from the chapel’s sanctuary. Behind the altar, the tabernacle: a resplendent cathedral of glittering spires and hand-carved gold arresting the eye. Mother had ordered that the interior back wall of the tabernacle – home of the monastery’s most precious possession, the Eucharist – be encrusted with diamonds, visible only to the Occupant. Jesus deserved the very best. As she viewed the image of her labors on the big screen, Angelica’s mind must have wandered back with satisfaction to her promise made in 1956 to “build God’s monastery in the south.” (Page 292)(Bold emphasis added)

Jesus deserved the very best...from the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army? GET REAL, Mother Angelica! What planet are you living on?

A nun is a Bride of Christ but Mother Angelica is a "Diamond Bride" because of all the diamonds she possesses in Alabama...a sharp contrast to the Mother of Christ who couldn't afford a diamond ring in Nazareth!

In the movie, protesters carried banners that said: "Diamonds equal death"

Therefore, Mother Angelica has death spattered on the walls of her Temple of the Eucharist.

The movie also cites:
"In Janaury 2003, forty nations signed "The Kiberly Process" -- an effort to stem the flow of conflict diamonds.

But ilegal diamonds are still finding their way to market. It is up to the consumer to insist that a diamond is conflict-free."

So, Mother Angelica, are your diamonds "conflict-free" or are they "Diamonds equal death"?

The song of the movie sings:
Everybody want Heaven but nobody wants death.
Everybody wants diamonds without the bloddshed.
Shine on, Shine on, Shine on...

Mother Angelica nd EWTN, shine one, shine on......

Biography Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles, (Doubleday 2005)

Author Raymond Arroyo is about as much of an insider of EWTN and one Mother Angelica's associates as you can get. He is the news director and a lead anchor at EWTN who has been close to Angelica for years. Most interesting in the book is his discussion of her early life in poverty with a highly dependent mother who simply couldn’t get by without her daughter, Rita Rizzo. This created a dysfunctional relationship that would affect both of them for the rest of their lives. Against all the odds, however, she managed to create a massive television network that reaches millions of people all around the world...the EWTN Eternal Word Television Network.

In the official website of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, it says: The Church, all throughout Her existence has spared no expense, neither has She been silent in showing forth her joyful gratitude and profound amazement for so sublime a Gift as the Holy Eucharist. Following this example, our own Mother Angelica has become an instrument in bearing testimony to this reality.(Bold emphasis added)

Indeed, she can afford to spare no expenses because the Church is the wealthiest institution on earth!

----------

EWTN is one of the main (secret) media networks of the Opus Dei that carried LIVE the canonization of their St? Josemaria Escriba in October 2002. An Opus Dei priest regularly preaches and writes for EWTN. Every year EWTN advertise the global and national celebration of Masses with complete list of presiding Bishops and Cardinals held in honor of St? Josemaria in June (which we posted last June 2007)

Mother Angelica is the biggest clue of the Opus Dei Mole in VOTF. The Vice-President candidate who ran to her received this advice:

I consulted with Mother Angelica on this and she said that moles can only be identified by people who have their heads in the dirt. She also said “It’s naughty to slander and the accuser needs to do penance!” Janet Hauter

Interpretation: Mother Angelica says that Paris Arrow can only identify moles because she has dirt in her head...and that she is naughty to slander and needs to do penance!

I've got news for you Mother Angelica, YOU are not qualified to be a member of the VOTF because you are under the payroll of Opus Dei and you are a puppet of the papacy that wants to shut down VOTF. You live in a unreal world so different from us laity and the VOTF. VOTF voice is not the same as yours…and must not be similar to yours. You are a typical preacher of "PRAY, pay, OBEY" and "ASK NO QUESTION". You would be a disastrous adviser to VOTF because you are as VAIN as Benedict XVI who puts on make-up everyday for the television and cameras and dress up pompously to meet world leaders and celebrities. The ONLY advice you will tell us is "Go to confession and do penance" (like you told Janet Hauter about me). You think that confession would have solved the sins of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army crying out to Heaven? Your diamonds-studded Temple of the Eucharist is inutile for the sins of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army and your diamonds are like the jewels of the Temple of Solomon... someday your temple too will crumble with not one stone standing up.

While we are so busy focusing on the assets of Bishops and dioceses, we miss to see that the millionaire palace of Bishops pales in comparison with the eccentricity and ostentatiousness of the Temple of Mother Angelica - who is the loudest voice for the Pope and the church in America. It is amazing how the most religious and famous “holy people” like Mother Angelica and Benedict XVI use the name of God in vain… all in the name of the poor Christ whose Mother Mary couldn’t afford a 0.01 carat diamond ring. GET REAL, MOTHER ANGELICA!

Benedict XVI and Opus Dei Wedding Bash of June

It's June Mystical Wedding bash again for John Paul II and Opus Dei St? Josemaria Escriva. Watch the WORLD DOMINATION Agenda of Opus Dei as all CArdinals and Bishops celebrate in Latin style the feast of Opus Dei on June 28.

http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2007/06/on-lot-mr-john-paul-ii-and-mrs.html
















If I were to enter a one-minute vignette on John Paul II in the new reality TV show 'On the Lot' this is how it would be.


Title: MR. Pope John Paul II and MRS.Saint Josemaria de Opus Dei


Subtitle: The new Mystical Marriage in the Catholic Church of the Pope and Opus Dei

Wedding song: You and Me against the World


Reality: The Groom Pope John Paul II wears robe in white (only) and the Bride Saint Josemaria de Opus Dei wears robe in black (only).


The Groom's name John Paul is a composite of two males (same-sex, gay), the Bride's name Josemaria is androgynous - one name of a male and a female (go figure, like the Androgynous Devil in the Passion of the Christ movie)) Actually, heshe has mutated hisher name so many times it taste bitter to pronounce hisher name
see: http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006/11/john-paul-ii-and-saint-josemaria.html


The Church is the Mystical Bride and Christ is the Bridegroom, so it is said (and taught)in Catholic Catechism. That wedding took place in the first century. In the 20th century a new mystical gay wedding took place at the Vatican when MRS. Saint Josemaria 'bought' the Vatican for 1 Billion to bail it out of the scandal of the Ambrosiano Bank. This was hisher mystical Opus Dei bridal dowry.
(see www.OctopusDei.org and http://www.odan.org/foundations.htm for the wealth of Opus Dei)


MR.Pope John Paul II abolished the office of the Devil's Advocate -- the office that proved anything negative and why a person must not be canonized a saint. That is why he was able to canonize his bride, MRS.Saint Josemaria as the fastest saint to be canonized in modern times.


So instead of spending his gay time examining his JPIIPPA John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army and using his gay papal powers to stop their heinous gay pedophiliac activities during his 26 years papacy, MR. John Paul wallowed in narcisstic self-glory with MRS. Saint Josemaria as they spent their honeymoon in the gay papal bed at the Vatican -- and prepared also for his own imminent canonization by his papal clone Benedict XVI -- their mystical marriage gay love child.


Ending: St. Michael the Archangel pushes the John Paul II Millstone...... and MR.John Paul II rolls into the deep Tiber River...... and MRS.Saint Josemaria is weeping as an androgynous widow with blood dripping from hisher black cossack ......surrounded by wailing Opus Dei members beating their heads against the walls of the 86 Billion Euro Vatican real estate they've acquired......with blood dripping also from their pants - because of the cilice they wear around their thighs!






This is posted on the occasion of the the feast of Saint(?) Josemaria and monthlong celebrations of the Opus Dei with the Pope, Cardinals and Bishops concelebrating Mass in cathedrals -- as they want to show-off their imperial power worldwide.


These are the SAME Cardinals and Bishops COHORTS in the CRIME of priest pedophilia --- who control the judges handling survivors abuse cases -- to protect the Opus Dei vested interest at the Vatican and the papacy!




-------------


Here is the letter to John Paul II against the canonization of St. Josemaria. Of course he put this in the thrash can like he did with the 1985 report of Fr. Thomas Doyle and many other reports warning him on priest pedophilia.

ODAN's Opposition to the Canonization of Josemaria Escrivá de Balaguer
September 11, 2002
http://www.odan.org/tw_opposition_to_canonization.htm

Statement on the Canonization of Escrivá


ODAN opposes the canonization of Josemaria Escrivá de Balaguer, founder of Opus Dei. Based on the testimonies of thousands negatively affected by Opus Dei, and published evidence from various sources revealing the irregularities surrounding Escriva's beatification and canonization processes, ODAN strongly believes that canonizing Escriva would be a grave mistake which would produce irreparable harm to the Church and leave thousands vulnerable to the deceitful and manipulative practices of Opus Dei. Specific details and reasons for opposing Escriva's canonization follow:


Facts & Irregularities in the Escriva Canonization

The quotes and facts below are taken from Kenneth Woodward's article, "A Questionable Saint, Is Opus Dei's founder fit for canonization?" Newsweek, January 13, 1992; from the official Opus Dei website; from Kenneth Woodward in his book, "The Helpers of God: How the Catholic Church makes Its Saints" National Catholic Register World Notes May 10, 1992; from Kenneth Woodward's article "A Coming-Out Party in Rome, Opus Dei prepares to stand by its man," Newsweek, May 18 1992; from the Vatican website; and from the Catholic Encyclopedia.

1. Based on materials worked up by a team of Opus Dei priests, John Paul II declared Escriva "heroically virtuous" in April 1990.

2. In July 1991, a miraculous healing authenticated, in part, by Opus Dei doctors was attributed to Escriva's intercession.

3. There is no devil's advocate to systematically challenge a candidate's claim to holiness. Thus some Vatican officials said Opus Dei was able to use its influence to manipulate the church's saint-making system for the benefit of its founder.

4. Opus Dei's first prelate, Alvaro del Portillo, who was also Escriva's successor, was a consultor to several congregations and councils of the Holy See, such as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Congregation for the Clergy, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. As a member of the Commission for the Revision of the Code of Canon Law, he also helped in the drafting of the current Code that eliminated the "devil's advocate," promulgated by John Paul II in 1983.

5. An Opus Dei member, Dr. Raffaello-Cortesini, a heart surgeon, headed the medical board that reviews potential miracles for the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

6. Serious charges were brought that Opus Dei prevented critics of Escriva from testifying at church tribunals called to investigate his life. Opus Dei officials insist that 11 critics were heard among 92 witnesses. Several former members were refused a hearing. Among them: Maria del Carmen Tapia, Father Vladimir Feltzman and John Roche.

7. Escriva defended Adolf Hitler. He told Father Feltzman that "Hitler had been unjustly accused of killing 6 million Jews." "In fact he had killed only 4 million."

8. Even some Opus Dei sympathizers, like retired Cardinal Silvio Oddi who served the Vatican for decades in key posts, believe the push to make Escriva a Saint has done Opus Dei "more harm than good". Although bishops are reluctant to criticize Opus Dei openly, says Oddi, many are "very displeased" by the rush to judgment and see "no need for the immediate beatification of their founder."

9. Normally to assess potential saints the Vatican appoints "consultors" who come from the candidate's homeland. Curiously, eight of Escriva's nine judges were Italian - a sign say critics that the congregation wanted to avoid Spanish theologians, many of whom are known to oppose Opus Dei. Opus Dei officials argue that because Escriva was an international figure and lived in Rome, there was no need to have Spanish judges.

10. Opus Dei has refused to let outsiders see the material on which Escriva's "heroic virtues" were judged -- an unprecedented act of secrecy, say priests familiar with the process.

11. Opus Dei officials have claimed that Escriva's cause had been unanimously approved. However Newsweek has learned that two of the judges, Msgr. Luigi De Magistris, deputy head of the Vatican's Holy Penitentiary, and Msgr. Justo Fernandez Alonso, rector of the Spanish National Church in Rome, did not approve the cause. In fact, one of the dissenters reportedly wrote that beatifying Escriva could cause the church "grave public scandal."

12. Under Pope Paul VI, Opus Dei was suspect. Vatican documents show that Paul worried that Opus Dei priests in the Vatican were leaking confidential decisions to Escriva.

13. John Paul II has increased the number of Opus Dei bishops . . . (there were only 4 before, all in Latin America) and granted Opus its own Pontifical "atheneum" in Rome despite objections from the rectors of the Church's established pontifical universities.

14. In 1982 John Paul II awarded Opus Dei a unique status as "personal prelature" which means its clerical and lay members take spiritual direction from their own prelate in Rome and not like other Catholics from their local bishop.

15. Opus Dei's real power is inside the Vatican bureaucracy . . .several ranking cardinals and at least one of the pope's personal secretaries, Father Stanislaw Dziwisz from Cracow are either [Opus Dei] "cooperators" or like the Pope himself, strong sympathizers.

16. Officials who supervise the media-conscious pope's liaisons with television are members of Opus Dei.

17. Officials of the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints not only gave the cause top priority but, as the official positio on Escriva shows, they also bent rules to exclude damaging evidence about Escriva's character and commitment to the church.

18. The positio claims that the volatile Escriva lost his temper only once, yet many former members who knew him will insist he was routinely abusive of anyone suspected of being an enemy of Opus Dei, including Pope John XXIII and Paul VI. Former numerary Maria del Carmen Tapia relates in her book Beyond the Threshold: A Life in Opus Dei that Escriva routinely lost his temper, and that as secretary in charge of writing down his words and actions, she was not allowed to right down anything negative that she witnessed. She herself was subjected to abusive words from Escriva, who called her the most filthy names, e.g. WHORE, SOW, PIG, and then screamed during this meeting with both men and women present, that someone should "pull down her panties.... and give her a spanking," referring to a fellow numerary woman who had assisted Tapia by mailing letters for her. Regarding this statement, a supporter of ODAN wrote the following: "This is the most bizarre and perverted talk coming from anyone, man or woman, but for a man to say this to an adult woman...for a priest to use this language and make this statement to a woman; for a saint to make this statement, completely perverts not only the rules of civilized behavior, but sanctity itself. There is no excuse for this conduct, no excuse at all. This, in and of itself, belies his sanctity."

19. A Vatican source said, contrary to established procedure, no published writings critical of Escriva were included in the documents given to the judges of his cause; nor did the congregation investigate Escriva's celebrated conflicts with the Jesuits, reports of his pro-fascist leanings and Opus Dei's involvement with the Franco government.

20. 40% of the testimony came from just two men, (Alvaro) Portillo (deceased Opus Dei prelate and Escriva's successor) and his assistant Father Javier Echevarria, (current Opus Dei prelate).

21. Although 1,300 bishops and cardinals from all over the world had written to the Vatican giving positive statements on the Opus Dei founder, only 128 of them had actually met him in person.

22. According to [Woodward's] research, Opus Dei members allegedly have put hundreds of bishops under financial pressure in order to have them send positive reports about Escriva to the Vatican. Especially in the Third World, bishops were allegedly told that financial contributions from Opus Dei might be in jeopardy if they did not answer the request for positive testimony.

23. The "devil's advocate" that had been part of the canonization process before 1983 was replaced by a "relator"; thus the door was open for the rapid canonization of Escriva. (Note that the current Opus Dei prelate at the time, Portillo, was part of the committee that eliminated the devil's advocate.) In the past, it was the job of the devil's advocate to ask "why shouldn't this person be canonized?"

Feedback from ODAN supporters:
(Opinions held by the persons below do not necessarily reflect the views of ODAN, its officers or Board of Directors.)

Joseph I. B. Gonzales, Former numerary, six years

The problem is not the man. It is the institutionalization of the man.

My real concern is that his faults--his harshness, duplicity, or immoderation, for example--should by the fact of canonization render these traits dubiously normative, not only for Opus Dei but for all Catholics as well.

I hope that now that Josemaria Escriva is canonized, his life and the organization he founded will be opened up to the critical perspective that time and reflection by necessity lends to the fair understanding of the lives of the saints. At this point we may perhaps begin to acknowledge the glaring reality of his defects as well as their potentially damaging influence, just as today we easily recognize the vindictiveness of St. Jerome, the rigorism of St. Alphonsus de Liguori, or the neuroticism of St. Therese of Lisieux.

Joseph Gonzales has written the Vocation Trap for the odan website.

Dr. John Roche, Linacre College, Oxford

"I am concerned about the harm that the canonization of Josemaria Escriva will do to the reputation of the whole process of beatification and canonization."

To read Dr. Roche's personal testimony of his experience as a numerary in Opus Dei, please read his True Story, "The Inner World of Opus Dei."

John Roche has also added the following points to the list of Facts and Irregularities in the Canonization of Monsignor Escriva:

1. Words of Monsignor Escriva

"... as Jesus received his doctrine from the Father, so my doctrine is not mine but comes from God and so not a jot or tittle shall ever be changed" (Cronica);

"I will pass away, and those who come afterwards will look at you with envy as if you were a relic" (Cronica i, 1971);

". . . when I think of this divine predilection, I feel ashamed" (Cronica i, 1971);

"As we come to know the Work ... not finding other more expressive words of love, perhaps we had to have recourse to scripture: tota pulchra est, amica mea, et macula non est in te (Song of Songs 4:7) ... the Work is tota pulchra ... this wonderful jewel that men admire" (Cronica v, 1960);

2. Words about Monsignor Escriva, from the internal magazine, Cronica, while he still lived

"The heritage of heaven comes to us through the Father" (Cronica i, 1961);

" ... we will bless the Lord ... because He chose our Father as the firm base for a Work projected through all the length and breadth of time" (Cronica i, 1971);

"God's grace prepared the priestly soul of our Father, making it to the measure of Christ's heart, that is open to the multitude that our Lord wanted to call to his Work with the passing of time, and even to all humanity" (Cronica i, 1971);

3. Facts about the Founder


L. Carandell, Vida y milagros de monsenor Escriva ... (Barcelona, 1975), 62-67. On 24 January 1968 Mgr. Escriva solicited the title 'Marquis of Peralta' claiming that there was a family connection. He was granted the title. At the same time his brother, Santiago, solicited the title 'Baron of San Felipe'

4. Testimony of former members


During the period 1959-1973, while I was a member of Opus Dei, it was frequently stated publicly at get-togethers of members of Opus Dei, that Monsignor Escriva had stated often that places where important events happened to him during the early years of Opus Dei would become centers of international pilgrimage -- John Roche

In July 1973, in Galway, Ireland, Fr Daniel Cummings, the then Procurator-General of Opus Dei informed me the Monsignor Escriva was divinely inspired to found Opus Dei, that he could not err in matters of the spirit of opus Dei, and that, therefore, as a condition of membership I must believe in that Divine inspiration -- John Roche

"On one occasion the Father was given the news that ... an old priest ... of Opus Dei ... had a severe haemorrhage and was near to death. Monsignor Escriva replied that this son of his lacked supernatural outlook, that he wished to go outside without wearing his cassock" -- Maria Angustias Moreno, El Opus Dei, 1993, 57.

Other comments about the canonization

Kenneth L. Woodward, Newsweek New York, NY

Fair to Opus Dei? Letter to the Editor of First Things, 61, March 1996, 2-7

I am pleased that Richard John Neuhaus ("The Work of God," November 1995) finds me "often fair-minded," though I suspect that is only when my views mirror his -- as they often do. That he detects a "long-standing hostility to Opus Dei" is not quite fair-minded of Father Neuhaus. My writing about Opus Dei has focused almost entirely on the beatification of its founder, not the organization itself. On this point, the only fair-minded conclusion I can reach, given the evidence of the positio itself and interviews with people in Rome involved in the process, is that Opus Dei subverted the canonization process to get its man beatified. In a word, it was a scandal -- from the conduct of the tribunals through the writing of the positio to the high-handed treatment of the experts picked to judge the cause. That Newsweek caught Opus Dei officials making claims that were not true is a matter of record. Escriva may have been a saint -- who am I to judge? but you could never tell from the way his cause was handled. Then, too, there is the matter of the banality of his writings, especially the axioms. Not the sort of stuff, I think, to build a spiritual community around. As for the organization itself, I'm sure it meets the needs of some Catholics. But as a parent, I am naturally inclined to worry about its methods and to take more seriously than does Father Neuhaus the complaints of those who feel they have lost a child to the organization. I, too, thought Jim Martin did a good job in his America piece, and am sorry only that so many folks felt they could not speak on the record. Whatever else it does, Opus Dei strikes fear in the timid and the mitered. I've met some likable people in Opus Dei but I'd hate to have my daughter marry one. To be fair-minded, I wouldn't want her to wed a Jesuit either, though I hope she'd ask one to say the nuptial mass.

Kenneth Woodward is the author of Making Saints, How the Catholic Church Determines Who Becomes a Saint, Who Doesn't, and Why, Simon and Schuster, 1990, in which he writes about Opus Dei and Escriva's beatification on pp. 383-389. One former numerary testifies that this book is on Opus Dei's Index of Forbidden Books, with the most restricted classification.

Hardball


This was a missive sent to an Opus Dei member who was featured on a Christianity segment of Chris Matthew's "Hardball"

Patti Lechner:

Seeing you on MSNBC’s “Hardball” stair-mastering your way to heaven fingering your rosary ring reminded me of the “drill” that takes place daily on every dairy farm across this country…as the herd makes it way, in the same “pecking order” worked out among the animals, to the “milking parlor” twice daily, 12 hours apart…without being summoned, exactly at the same time each day without watches or clocks…consistently and regularly day in and day out….truly amazing to see….all without the prompting of a bell….the summoning call of a “herdsman” or any other contrivance….just plain simple unwitting, thoughtless, routine behavior….a regimen so ingrained that 7 days a week and 52 a year they make the journey from meadow to milking parlor twice at the very same time daily, save those who periodically are “dried up” before being “freshened again”….farm lingo.


Having “worked out” my entire life, I am familiar with the drill and monotony of “jogging” around an elliptical indoor track, the mind numbing ennui of using a treadmill, the incredible tedium of riding a stationary bicycle into oblivion and the joyless restlessness of climbing a stairmaster endlessly to nowhere.


To ameliorate boredom, all exercise centers have incorporated a number of diversions to “distract” from the lassitude of unending repetition of the exercise. Thus, there is “piped in music”, numerous TVs hung, each offering a different channel with audio obtained by a headset tuned to the appropriate FM frequency, different color lights, “offbeat artwork”, and of course the exercisers themselves tuned into radio headsets or listening to the music of a favorite CD.


The whole experience is testament that unless some effort is either made by the club or exerciser, the repetition of the experience is overwhelming causing the mind to “drift off” in thought, focusing on anything but the boring repetitious exercise…..like on the day’s forthcoming work goals, tonight’s dinner party, yesterday’s excitement, the anticipated vacation coming up or just onto any “mental escape” which mentally transports the exerciser from having to contemplate the repetitious routine of the exercise.


The same is no different with the rosary. Everyone who has ever experienced its recitation and who is honest with themselves has to admit that concentrating on a “joyful” or “sorrowful” mystery while reciting 5 sets of 10 “hail Marys” separated by an “our father” and a “glory be” is impossible without the “mind drifting off” to some other thought, “such as is this repetitive experience” akin to other mind numbing activities….requiring something to break the monotony brought about by reciting “hail Mary full of grace….holy Mary mother of God….now and at the hour…” 10 times x times 5 times more in repetition, with the very words uttered, then finally “droned” in monotone mental chant.


C’mon admit it…you are no different than anyone else…. My point being that saying the rosary and its mind numbing prayers is the intellectual equivalent of having a mouse traverse the maze….no thought, unbelievable repetitious routine, all requiring our “human side” to “drift off” to some other thought while “going through the motions” of reciting this same set of words…over and over, again and again.


Want to know the origin of the rosary? Conceived and created before the invention of printing to provide some form of recollection of the life of Christ when a print version was unavailable to be used and at the same time as a prayer for the “faithful” whose lack of education left them unable to dialogue in “meaningful prayer” with their creator.


So is this where your education and Catholicism has taken you?..... to the cult like ritual of Opus Dei accompanied by “thoughtless repetition” of the rosary, accomplishing two repetitious tasks, both rosary and stairmaster in “lemming like fashion”, followed by daily attendance at mass?....whoa….the shallowness….the blind unfettered rule following with no thought to reality, Christianity as a philosophy, the ignorance of the Catholic church and the failings of its leaders….indeed your part or role in all of this as a Catholic?


To see you go through the motions and recite the “drill” of the non-thinking “ghetto Catholic”…."I always tell the kids that Christ has a plan mapped out for them and only they can execute it." to which I reply…Oh? Really?….…incredible…and in this day and age…can there exist someone seemingly so educated still perpetuating the “hapless drill” of the less educated Catholics from decades previous.


Mapped out for them? Ever heard of free will? Think Christ has plans mapped out for Catholics only….others find theirs at Wal Mart?


One needs to ask what of the poor souls who preceded the coming of Christ, who were without prophets, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Aaron, Joshua, Samuel, Eli, or Moses, tablets, an Ark of the Covenant and uh, uh, ….well you know the rest…. Saved? Doomed? Forgiven? Redeemed? Or, are they getting there on frequent walker miles… earned trodding a lifetime through their individual vale of tears?


* Don’t you just love the Catholic Church…..you do not just have original sin, you’re stained with it no matter when you entered the time line of humanity !


How is it that you can “dutifully ramble on” droning the rosary while stair-mastering and come away confident that, daily attendance at mass and performing “other mindless devotions” are accomplishing anyone’s salvation much less yours or that of your children, particularly when there is so much else going on in the world and in the Church around you that demand that an honest, thinking Catholic at least question, if not involve himself or herself in the pro-active “change thereof ” to the betterment of church and mankind?

The next scandal on the horizon is the number of children fathered by Catholic priests but being raised in secret by the Catholic Church in orphanages in the U.S. , Canada , Ireland , Mexico , South America , France , Germany , Spain , and Italy .

As for Scripture in which you profess a unquestioning belief, experiments have done seeking from individuals visual recall identification, asking a group of ten “eyewitnesses” to a subject whom they were allowed to view, to describe clothing content, hat, clothing color, facial features, apparent ethnicity, scars, tattoos, missing teeth, etc.

The varied results were amazing with only two out of ten “eyewitnesses” identifying at least three out of five of the same characteristics on the subject viewed.


Similar experiments were conducted using a phrase whispered by several subjects one to each other in rotation with the last subject reciting something totally different than the original phrase.

Given the imperfections of human behavior in attempting to maintain exacting visual or message integrity even at these levels, is there not any question at all on your part as an educated person that the “words and stories contained in the Old and New Testaments” are at best approximations.


Accordingly, are the three tomes, Torah, Bible or Koran a compilation of the musings of the male* philosophers of their day who with too much time on their hands….formulated fairly obvious truths of human nature and expressed them in a code of conduct for human behavior to enable a civil society to exist, selling them as the word of God ‘revealed’ to them as prophets….explaining life and its purpose through the concept of a "higher being", and an "eventual reward".....termed salvation, attainable only by following rigid rules of behavior?.... or as we know by now, are they precepts which essentially call for leading an honest, kind, charitable, humble, law abiding life leading to salvation.


Do you think that Christ is a sexist? Does ordination somehow confer partially divine wisdom to its male recipients allowing them and only them to sermonize, as this current Pope has proclaimed?

As for John Paul II, pray for the repose of his soul, hoping that age and Parkinson’s contributed to his inability to be decisive with regard to his lack of leadership, failing to dismiss member’s of the ‘old boys network’ and for not finding fault when and where it was due.

John Paul II may have seen many issues through the prism of life with righteousness, clarity, understanding, empathy, honesty and integrity but on the issue of Priest pedophilia, he missed it entirely….and perhaps as far as eternity is concerned….permanently!


Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. This scandal, the cover up, the lack of accountability in the leadership from the top down...no firings, no demotions, no dismissals....well it simply take your breath away because in any other company, corporation, organization...they would be gone with this record!


Think about what the Church has become since the time Christ said to Peter, "and I say to thee, thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". Matthew 16:18


Want to know what Christ is probably doing right about now….sitting with his face covered by his hands buried in his lap, weeping and shaking his head from side to side saying, “ I can’t believe they are doing this in my name!”


Finally as a woman, the philosophical question you should be asking yourself is how is it that the priesthood attracts so many gays, weirdoes, pedophiles and psychological misfits instead of the best and the brightest?


The answer is because of its very construct being open to men and only men, it seeks not the best and the brightest but rather appeals to a sizeable segment of misfits among the male population who see in it an opportunity only too good to be true…like putting the fox in charge to guard the hen house…a ready made stable of ‘boys’ to prey upon.


Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it. But, in the end, there it is.


Advocate for ordination of women priests…..and give up the mind numbing rosary routine and start dialoguing with your creator….get involved in adult discussion or prayer groups….get out and minister to the “shut ins”, those in the hospitals requesting a visit…whatever…anything but that “blind mind numbing ghetto prayer recitation” which if you are honest, you know turns into a drone…going through the motions.

I won’t even touch corporal mortification espoused by Opus Dei except to say the title alone conveys its inanity......

Believe me the Catholic church does not have a corner on the market of ideas for salvation….witness the subjects I addressed in this letter….the church’s response or lack thereof and the age old custom and practices still revered and employed without any thought to the worth thereof in terms of bringing the abider closer to God and salvation.


Hope you are not offended by my intrusion into your “comfortable world” God bless and good luck!

Opus Dei Pope Benedict XVI's infallibility questioned by Australian Bishop

A new book dealing with the most heinous sexual pedophilia of priests written by an Australian Bishop questions the authority and infallibility of Pope Benedict. And the Australian Bishops (all appointed by Opus Dei Pope John Paul II) are trying to undermine the book and defend the Pope. The Octopus Dei-Lies is again at work.

Watch how the Master of cunning and deceit Octopus Dei mastermind their WORLD DOMINATION AGENDA through the Catholic Bishops Conference in Australia and all over the world -- by attacking the book and writer -- like they did with Jon Sobrino which we report at lenght in this weblog.

Bishop Robinson confrontation leaves unfinished business
Andrew Hamilton May 29, 2008


Bishop Geoffrey Robinson's book Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church, in which he explores what he sees as the roots of abuse in the Church, continues to raise controversy.

In May this year the Australian Bishops issued a statement in which they praised Bishop Robinson's commitment to the victims of abuse, but raised issues of doctrine that concerned them in his book. In reply, Bishop Robinson expressed disappointment that they left untreated the central challenge made by his book.

Acting on the request of Roman authorities, many United States Bishops have recently said he would not be welcome to speak in their churches.

It may be helpful to put this controversy into context. When Geoffrey Robinson was assistant Bishop in Sydney, he helped coordinate the response of the Catholic Church to victims of abuse within Catholic institutions. In the course of his work he spoke with many victims of sexual abuse. These experiences inform the central arguments in Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church.

So what is Bishop Robinson's argument, and why did the Australian Bishops criticise his book?

In his book Bishop Robinson argues that the causes of sexual abuse are to be sought in the psychological state of the abusers, in their ideas about power and sex, and in the environment that shapes them. He claims that these factors are woven together in a church culture that needs to be changed if the roots of sexual abuse are to be excised. He explores broadly how this church culture developed and how it could be changed.

In the Catholic Church it is each Bishop's responsibility to teach the received faith. The Bishop of Rome, the Pope, has an overall responsibility to preserve the unity of faith and life in the local churches. He intervenes when local Bishops cannot deal effectively with issues that arise. In their decision to criticise Bishop Robinson's book, the Australian Bishops' Conference judged that matters of faith were at stake.

In their statement, they praised Bishop Robinson's contribution to the life of the church. 'We are deeply indebted to him for his years of effort to bring help and healing to those who have suffered sexual abuse, and for what he has done to establish protocols of professional standards for Church personnel in this area.'

They then claim that the book questions the authority of the Church to teach definitively. It also questions the knowledge and authority of Christ that ground the authority of the Church to teach. In detail, they claim that the book questions Catholic teaching on tradition, scriptural inspiration, the infallibility of Councils and Pope, the nature of priesthood, and elements of the Church's moral teaching. They conclude by conceding that the authority entrusted by Christ to the Church can be badly exercised.

The criticisms are sweeping. But their scope is not altogether clear. The Bishops find fault with Bishop Robinson's questioning. There are two forms of questioning: one explores, the other denies. We can question faith by exploring its grounding and its boundaries. Other questioning can be tantamount to denial. We may assume that received positions are untrue unless we are given reasons that immediately convince us, or we may simply propose an alternative position inconsistent with a received position that we do not even take into account.

In the case of this book, Bishop Robinson certainly questions the authority of the church and other matters in the first sense. He must do so if he is to explore the groundings of a church culture. But if the book is read in a way that assumes the author's good intentions, it is not evident that his questioning amounts to denial.

But the Bishops may have been concerned that the book would be widely read in this way. Indeed this risk is inherent in the shape of its argument. To discuss the pathologies of a culture is like reflecting on the factors within an organism that are conducive to cancer. The sources of cancer are also the sources of the life of the organism. If we focus only on eradicating cancer without asking what makes for a healthy organism, we may kill the organism in eradicating the cancer.

In Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church Bishop Robinson focuses on pathological ideas. His arguing partners are those who make excessive claims for the scope of Church teaching, demand too much deference to Church officials, have too narrowly negative a view of human sexuality, and who put compulsory clerical celibacy beyond discussion.

In covering so many areas so broadly, Bishop Robinson cannot give a rounded and solidly grounded view of Catholic faith and life. He cannot do full justice to the Church as a living organism. In Catholic faith, this life is identified with the presence of the Holy Spirit within the development of the Church. If the book is not read in the light of an organic view of the Catholic Church, could be read as a negatively analytical and piecemeal account.

The Bishops then may have thought it necessary to warn against this possible reading of the book, particularly for readers who assume that it has added authority because it was written by a Bishop.

Bishop Robinson has accepted the Bishops' right to respond. But he was disappointed that they did not address the crucial issues which he raised. These are the extent to which the Catholic culture, including the institutions of clerical celibacy and of the exercise of authority, shapes attitudes to sex and power. And the extent to which these attitudes damage people, making abuse and its concealment more likely.

These questions remain. They have not been answered by the criticisms made of Bishop Robinson's book, however justified they may be. Precisely because the sources of pathology lie so close to the sources of life in the Catholic Church, as in other organisms, it will require a great deal of research and self-reflection to address these questions. But the pain of the victims of sexual abuse cries out that they should be addressed seriously.

Australian Bishop Geoffrey Robinson writes a courtesy letter to some United States bishops and they have the chutzpah to disinvite him?

'Both Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony and San Diego Bishop Robert Brom have asked Robinson not to speak in their jurisdictions.'

Who asked them? What nerve.

Bishop Geoffrey, gentleman that he is, doesn’t need Mahony’s, Brom’s or any other bishop’s permission to speak. He already has it. It belongs to everyone and we call it a human right, freedom of expression. In the USA it is protected by the Constitution.

I just hope all this publicity points up the importance of reading and talking about what is in his book, Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church. I have read it and suggest everyone do the same.

I also suggest Cardinal Mahony and Bishop Brom should write letters of apology.

Statement from the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference
8 May 2008

http://www.acbc.catholic.org.au/bishops/confpres/20080508514.htm

In 2007 Bishop Geoffrey Robinson, retired Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Sydney, published a book entitled “Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church: Reclaiming the Spirit of Jesus.”

We are grateful for the contribution Bishop Robinson has made to the life of the Church. We are deeply indebted to him for his years of effort to bring help and healing to those who have suffered sexual abuse and for what he has done to establish protocols of professional standards for Church personnel in this area. In responding to the issues raised in the book, we do not question his good faith. However, people have a right to know clearly what the Catholic Church believes and teaches, and the Bishops have a corresponding duty to set this forth, as we seek to do in this statement.

After correspondence and conversation with Bishop Robinson, it is clear that doctrinal difficulties remain. Central to these is a questioning of the authority of the Catholic Church to teach the truth definitively. In Saint John’s Gospel, Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit to the disciples in order to lead them into the fullness of the truth (cf. John 16:13). It is Catholic teaching that the Church has been endowed with this gift of truth.

The book’s questioning of the authority of the Church is connected to Bishop Robinson’s uncertainty about the knowledge and authority of Christ himself. Catholics believe that the Church, founded by Christ, is endowed by him with a teaching office which endures through time. This is why the Church’s Magisterium teaches the truth authoritatively in the name of Christ. The book casts doubt upon these teachings.

This leads in turn to the questioning of Catholic teaching on, among other things, the nature of Tradition, the inspiration of the Holy Scripture, the infallibility of the Councils and the Pope, the authority of the Creeds, the nature of the ministerial priesthood and central elements of the Church’s moral teaching.

The authority entrusted by Christ to his Church may at times be poorly exercised, especially in shaping policy and practice in complex areas of pastoral and human concern. This does not, in Catholic belief, invalidate the Church’s authority to teach particular truths of faith and morals.
