Loving the Haters

If you think

the real hate-monger is

Holy Happy

"If you teach a child to be happy, they will spend the rest of their life seeking happiness, which in the end benefits no one

But if you teach a child to be holy, they will spend their life seeking holiness, and that will benefit everyone . . . and they will also find themselves wholly happy"

Things Jesus Never Said

"You are Book, and on this Book I will make thousands of Denominations"

"Everyone who says Lord, Lord, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven,

"Mother behold your son, 

son ignore her 

and focus on me, me, me, me"

"Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate, 

unless they grew apart or got fat"

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, 

unless it's 15 verses of Awesome God"

"Anyone who loves me will obey some of my teaching, some of the time"

"remember! I will be with you always, 

except for about 1500 years, 

but than I'll send Martin Luther"

No such thing as an ex-Catholic

.
Many of the trendy and pretentious can be heard to say they are "ex-Catholics" or "Recovering Catholic", knowing that regardless how bigoted or uniformed their statements are that they are rarely called out for their ignorance.

and can we completely blame them?

A man seeking a wife may pass the love of his life while walking through town, but will not pass her again once he has been formally introduced and had time to get to know her.

The pseudo ex-Catholics are like the man out for a stroll who keeps passing the beloved instead of getting introduced. They too have never actually met their bride, and mainly because they are looking for what the media, or Hollywood, or Protestantism has told them their bride should look like. Not knowing truth, they eagerly accept the pretty lie.

Is it really the fault of these unimformed, or does the burden of truth lie with, and in, we the faithful?

The Church, whether the religious or the laity, has to learn to teach better, to instruct fully the young and the old about what we believe, why we believe it, and why it matters. We also need to respect, but challenge, priests who take a wishy washy attitude to catechesis, and we really need to, in love, chastise priests who commit error (whether willfully or in ignorance). We must share with our brothers and sisters the truth if we see them acting or saying error.

If we don't aggressively teach the truth about Holy Mother Church, than that non-denominational mega-church down the street will be happy to teach the lies about her.
.

Medjugorje is a fake . . .or worse?

.
Other than Father Larry Richards, I don't know of any Catholics that I respect, that have fallen under the Medjugorje spell (and he was already devoted to Mary prior to his visits there). Actually, most of the Catholic writers and religious that I admire tend to be cautious at least, if not downright worried about this unapproved event. I have only personally known one person who reported to having a conversion there, but as I got to know the person I saw little of Jesus or Mary in her, and no real desire to be holy . . . a mere outer shell conversion, with no change in the heart or soul. For her and others, following this fantasy is more hobby than lifestyle.

If you do a search for Medjugorje you are apt to find websites with links to other fallacious pseudo Catholic writers or visionaries, as well as a lot of new age silliness.

Thankfully it looks like we may soon get an official pronouncement to accompany the recent letter by apostolic nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano asking the US Bishops to "warn" the faithful that one of the so-called visionaries now living in (and off of) the U.S. is giving talks where he is to witness apparitions (and make a few bucks as well).

Here is an article by Jimmy Akin on the subject :
14 things to know and share about the new letter on Medjugorje

We have Christ everyday in the Eucharist

We pray with our Lady every time we do a Rosary

We are filled with God's love every time we are thankful or sacrifice for another

Do we need to chase unapproved apparitions too?
(especially when we do that rather than the list above)

“A feverish brow 

that never throbs in unison with 
a Head crowned with thorns,

or an aching hand 

never borne in patience 
with a Hand on the Cross,

is sheer waste.

The world is worse for that pain 

when it might have been so much the better.

All the sick-beds in the world 

are either on the right side of the Cross

or on the left; 

their position is determined by whether,

like the thief on the left, 

they ask to be taken down,

or, like the thief on the right, 

they ask to be taken up.”

Lewis on Love . . .and why most folks don't

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.”

Determined Ignorance

.
Atheists and Protestants are more similar than they know. Both have what I see as a "determined ignorance", of the truth to their lie surrounding them but with a stubborn refusal to objectively look.

The atheist walks around this beautifully complex world, but abandoning logic contends "it just happened". They live in the creation but ignore the Creator.

The Protestant dances around the beautifully complex passages of the scripture, but abandoning logic ignores the very obvious Catholic nature of it. They lift up the Bible as authority, but ignore the authority of the men who compiled it. Loving the book and ignoring the authors God appointed and the catalogers He chose.

To be Atheist or Protestant takes a very great faith, but sadly, a faith not based on truth but of hiding from it.

Who REALLY Cares about Women?

Bad Apples

.
Recently I started asking people to tell me what is the positive side to contraception, since the negatives are vast and menacing (increases in violence and rape, increases in divorce and disease, increases in abortion and pornography, and the general decrease of happiness in women).

The only positive side given is that people can decide when to have children (granted, many can't even when they decide because of some disease they have picked up from their casual using of others as sex toys); but God has always given us the ability to decide about children in the form of self control.

People know that they can't eat anything they want, or miss going to the gym, and expect to be in decent shape; but tell them to discipline their sexual desires and it's as if you are speaking a foreign language.

Contraception does help to allow us to use another person with out worrying much about them, or even ourselves, so that our sexuality becomes closely aligned with the disordered sexuality of a person with same sex attraction. The enemy had little success in making homosexuality seem normal until he helped heterosexuality become abnormal, of robbing man and woman of the gift of pro-creation (the very gift his envy hates us for, because it was something God gave humanity alone).

In the end we see that the ironic side of the intrinsic evil of contraception
is that is has absolutely bore no fruit,
but merely made us rotten to the core.

There is no Divorce, 

nor Same-sex so-called marriage

 in the Kingdom

Matthew 19

Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and tested him, saying,
“Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?”
He said in reply, “Have you not read 

that from the beginning the Creator  

made them male and female 

 and said,
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?

So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
They said to him, “Then why did Moses command
that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?”
He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts
Moses allowed you to divorce your wives,
but from the beginning it was not so.
I say to you, whoever divorces his wife
(unless the marriage is unlawful)
and marries another commits adultery.”
His disciples said to him,
“If that is the case of a man with his wife,
it is better not to marry.”
He answered, “Not all can accept this word,
but only those to whom that is granted.

Some are incapable of marriage 

because they were born so;

some, because they were made so by others;

some, because they have renounced marriage
for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven.

Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

"One of the effects of modern liberal Protestantism has been gradually to turn religion into poetry and therapy, to make truth vaguer and vaguer and more and more relative, to banish intellectual distinctions, to depend on feeling instead of thought, and gradually to come to believe that God has no power, that he cannot communicate with us, cannot reveal himself to us, indeed has not done so, and that religion is our own sweet invention. This seems to be about where you find yourself now. 
Of course, I am a Catholic and I believe the opposite of all this."

The Epistle to Diognetus

.

"What the soul is in the body, 

that Christians are in the world.

The soul is dispersed through all the members of the body,
and Christians are scattered through all the cities of the world.

The soul dwells in the body, but does not belong to the body,
and Christians dwell in the world, but do not belong to the world.

The soul, which is invisible, 

is kept under guard in the visible body;
in the same way, 

Christians are recognised when they are in the world,
but their religion remains unseen.

The flesh hates the soul and treats it as an enemy,
even though it has suffered no wrong, 

because it is prevented from enjoying its pleasures;
so too the world hates Christians, 

even though it suffers no wrong at their hands,
because they range themselves against its pleasures.

The soul loves the flesh that hates it, and its members;
in the same way, Christians love those who hate them.

The soul is shut up in the body, 

and yet itself holds the body together;
while Christians are restrained in the world 

as in a prison,
and yet themselves hold the world together.

The soul, which is immortal, 

is housed in a mortal dwelling;
while Christians are settled among corruptible things,
to wait for the incorruptibility that will be theirs in heaven.

The soul, when faring badly as to food and drink, grows better;
so too Christians, when punished, 

day by day increase more and more.
It is to no less a post than this that God has ordered them,
and they must not try to evade it"

Behold thy Family

.
"Naturally being truly pro-family (the domestic church), the Catholic Church can not condone anti-family actions like contraception or cohabitation, nor go against Christ's teaching by accepting divorce.

But it is also Pro-family in it's teaching in that it/we acknowledge not only the Father and the Son, but also the Mother Christ died to give us

The Tally of the Mentality

Doctors make Mistakes . . . God Doesn't

Contraception was the birth of Gay Marriage

.
"While their hearts may be in the right place, a Christian who contracepts can not rationally oppose same-sex so-called marriage, because contraception is also saying the marriage is only about the two adults and their own selfish desires.

Marriage was and is the foundation of family (and the domestic Church), and at it's core a protection for children.

When Christians kicked God out of their marital door, they left the same door open to gay marriage
 . . .and in the end it is of the same childish, and childless, selfish nature"

Timeless Truth

"[T]here are many other things which most properly can keep me in [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15–17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house"
