Obscurity and ambiguity in teaching leads to confusion, which is not of God. However God can send the spirit of confusion as a chastisement. 1 Corinthians 14:33 "for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." Deuteronomy 28:20 “Yahweh will send upon you the curse, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you send forth your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken Me.
Well, at least at the opening of the Jubilee, he will have to celebrate a public mass, if he is alive and in minimal health conditions, of course.
I look at the news each morning I wake up and say a prayer before doing so. Very,very very big events , the most historic in all of history are upon us, both in the Church and the World. I would add a warning to people to who think by defending Papa Frankie at the moment that they are doing a good deed. Defending that which is clearly Satanic is not a good deed. Be very,very,very careful.
Once upon a time Catholics who defended Papa Frankie was understandable. Be very ,very careful. His wickedness has clearly come right out into the open now. You will have to answer defending pure evil from Rome at the Judgement Seat. This is a very,very serious matter and sin. Very,very serious indeed. How ,at the Judgement Seat will you explain to Jesus, the Judge of Heaven and Earth defending pure evil? Think about it. The Lord of life and death may not may very well not be so kind and understanding as I am. My recommendation? In the name of God stop defending pure evil.
Exactly, anytime I see unclear teaching with no attempt to clarify, it is obvious that there is an agenda that is not of God. Which would then be satanic. A question occurred in my mind this morning, asking why did God allow satan 100 years? Clearly if God is allowing it, he is using it for good. The only place in the Bible 100 years is mentioned is where Isaac is born. Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born. The meaning of the name Isaac is "he will laugh/rejoice". Just when it seems all hope is lost a new birth with laughing and rejoicing. Isaac also had sown seed and it came back 100 fold. The parable of the sower tells us the seed can multiply 30, 60 and 100 fold. I can't help but think Jesus was referring to Isaac here. I get the impression that once this time of chastisements are over, the church will be multiplied greatly like nothing ever seen before. Our suffering now is possibly paying the way forward for the church to come.
Such a good question. Why does the Good God allow times of testing for both us as individuals and for the Church as a whole? Why do we test test anyone, anything? Well my first thought is pure gold. How do we know something is pure? We put it in the fires in the furnaces to burn out the impurities, to test it. Then having got rid of the impurities pure gold comes out., Relate to this to the Church. For instance my own last Bishop had a reconstruction work on his place done worth some estimate at about 2 or 3 million pounds...(about 7.5 $). OK. This Same Bishop never let a peep about himself about Papa Frankie. Not one single peep. He just kept quiet. He was recently promoted to be Papal Nuncio to the entire EU (European Union). He was recently replaced by a Jesuit as Bishop. Now how would someone who wanted to live in a multi million mansion take persecution? Going to Jail? Maybe being killed? Maybe being tortured? Not too well of course. How would someone who has nothing at all face persecution? Well if you have nothing to loose why would you fear to loose it? It was like thins with we Irish down the centuries. We were probably just about the poorest people on the face of the planet so when they threatened us with all kinds of evil what had we got to loose? Its the same with the persecution to come. My ex Bishop and all the various faggot, corrupt, heretical, greedy Bishops , Cardinals and priests will run as fast as their legs can carry them . No more perverts.No more self seeking , materialistic, egotistical clown heads. That's why we need purification. Only the real deal will be left.
Chastisement and purification. Chastisement builds up merit, purification removes the dross. So the golden remnant moves forward with good graces. Maybe this is part of why the youth are being so inspired by God. They are going to be the ones reproducing, not the lgbt brigades. If God also converts the muslims, which seems to be the case they will also reproduce too. Interesting to see God moving the pieces together.
The great beauty & dignity of the thorn is that it protects the rose ~ same for a thistle ~ Looking at all this through the "eyes" of family, scripture, ancestors, I seriously doubt there's anyone on this forum looking to defend evil. I for one will not listen to any priest, bishop or even pope who puts their marbles in the basket of "there's hope that Judas was saved" so we've nothing to worry about. That's balderdash to the max and I'll say that bluntly to anyone to their face if that situation presents itself, no matter who it is. Anyone who figures all our sins are forgiven without realizing that there is also need to grow in virtue, which requires hard work on ones own part, is in very very much trouble. Last seat on the bus to purgatory? Without having done anything work at all to earn it, cuz we're all saved anyway?? Good luck with that. In scripture, Jesus asked who were His mother, brothers, sisters. He said in Luke's gospel "My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God and do it". Who are our brothers and sisters? Imho, it's the same answer. Deliverance prayers, especially in regard to generational healing mention honouring all our ancestors of flesh, but totally renouncing their sins. The only One Who knew what Judas was about was Jesus Himself. Judas made his choice, of his own free will. He even had one last chance, and he let it pass him by. If the others had clued into that pending disaster, would they have tried to straighten him out, or would they have shown him to the tree & handed him the rope? So many today are actually being handed a rope & shown the way to that tree, be it abortion, euthanasia, or whatever. And it's like our hands our completely tied; what can we do at this point?? Whose fault is it? I don't have the answers to these questions. But I will not be handing anyone a rope and showing them to a tree. I was saved from that fate myself; one can only imagine who prayed those mighty saving prayers on behalf of my wretched soul. So, I refuse to abandon all hope, for anyone. Even a sinful "father" who appears to have no interest whatsoever in living a virtuous life, in teaching that growing in virtue is possible by grace, no interest whatsoever in beauty, and horrid taste in art. He will make his final choice & receive his reward, as we all will. What can I do, or anyone like me do, except stand for the Truth, PRAY MIGHTILY & cry aloud with 100,000 voices united in prayer with the entire Church, militant, suffering & triumphant. Pray for those who do not pray, especially clergy. And forgive those who trespass against us, whoever they may be. ~ Better to die for the Truth than live for a lie ~
Those who advocate for Judas' salvation don't do so out of love for Judas, but out of love for themselves; on the basis that if Judas can get a pass, then neither will my sins be condemned, so I can keep on doing and enjoying them...even being proud of them. If God intended universal, unconditional salvation, it would firstly mean He was a sadist, inflicting the suffering of this vale of tears upon all men, for no reason, when He could simply have brought us straight to Heaven. Secondly, it would imply all men were slaves, lacking the freedom to reject Him. Such a God would not be the Holy Trinity (the Sacrifice of a Christ, under such conditions, would be a pointless absurdity), but an 'Allah', an arbitrary god of pure Will, devoid of Justice, Mercy and Love.
In fairness to Catholic Answers, they probably didn't want to officially, publicly oppose the papal office. Perhaps they thought this not their job, but that of others; such as the Cardinals and Bishops themselves, not what is essentially a group of laymen providing a useful service to Catholics asking questions about their faith. In terms of their mission, I have always found them very helpful and orthodox in the provision of those answers. Refusing or failing to provide an answer is not quite the same as giving a wrong answer. Sometimes silence can imply consent, but when mixed with sincere orthodoxy in all other matters, it can imply the opposite. When they do finally come over the top, out of their trenches, it now provides greater emphasis. Their obedience is unquestionable, but yet they have to draw the line. All lines are now clear, out in the open. The goats are separating themselves from the sheep. The sheep are gingerly distancing themselves from the goats.
I notice recently several very prominent Catholic commentators starting to take a stand against the wickedness emanating from the Vatican. For instance Brian Holdsworth who was a convert and attends to Latin Mass. And Mat Fradd from Pints with Aquinas. The thing I take from looking at Matt Fradd , looking rather than listening is just how shocked and frightened he appears to be at what is going on. As though a bomb had just dropped on his head. This teaches me more about how he sees things in the Church than anything he could ever say.
I am genuinely puzzled though at how long it took so long for these people to catch on what was going on.
It goes back to reinterpreting the scriptures through historical documentation. The so called scholars started to call into question the inerrancy of God's Word. Everything is called into question. St Paul didn't write Hebrews for example. Lobbying for Judas is just more of the same. Exorcists tell a different story. Judas is in evidence sometimes in exorcisms.
I am not sure why good, even saintly , highly educated, very well read men found it so difficult to come to terms with the truth about Papa Frankie. But perhaps it was that their ecclesiology , their understanding of how the Church operates maybe gave too much importance on the role of the Roman Pontiff. The Pope is there is conserve the truth, not too create it. He is rather like a museum curator, a keeper of truths. If I believed that the Church depended on there being a good Pope or always being good Popes I too would have been frightened and unable to face up to the reality of the situation. But anyone who has read Church history must know there have been quite a few bad or evil Popes before. I can't see why having another bad one would be so surprising. I was listening to Fr Linus Clovis giving a talk on all this the other day, he was speaking in the Caribbean and it appears to be the tradition of the congregations to shout out their support if they think that the speaker says something right. Quite a few of the audience started to shout out their support as Father Linus spoke. I loved this. These were very ordinary lay Catholics and they seem to have a much, much better understanding of what is going on in the Church than many of our Bishops and Cardinals and are outraged by it. Reminding me of the words of Jesus: Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
One thing I find bizarre is how tremendously weak the Catholic clerical leadership has been in general in regards to teaching the laity. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great clergy who pour themselves out, like Fr. Ripperger. But in the age of the internet, it surprises me how much great content comes from the laity in comparison to that of church authority. To the point where lay people are doing the service the church should be doing, or at least sponsoring. Yet there is seemingly endless money to pay for lawsuits against the church and for synods.
Judas is called the Son of Perdition in the Holy Scriptures, the same title that is used for the antichrist, so it is a very dangerous game to raise any possibility that he was saved.
