Ask ko lang po kung ano ang pinagkaiba ng El Shaddai sa Catholic Church, kasi po ikapu kay Velarde, then sa inyo, kahit magkano lang...
Ano po yun? Magkaiba pa rin po ba kayo? Sino po ang totoo sa inyo?

Dear Anonymous,
The Catholic Church is of course our ONE AND ONLY CHURCH. The El Shaddai is our largest Catholic group in the Philippines or probably in the world. I'm not sure though because I don't have the statistics.
Ibig sabihin ang El Shaddai ay isang organization lang sa loob ng Catholic Church na pinamumunuan ng isang Catholic layman na si Bro. Mike Velarde. Ito ay under pa rin ng Simbahang Catolico kasi ang pananampalatayang itinuturo dito ay ginagabayan ng Catholic Bishop [Bacani] o pari [Fr. Anton San Pascual] na nagsisilbing Spiritual Adviser at Guardians ng grupo. Every El Shaddai prayer worships either starts or culminates with the celebration of the Holy Mass. Totoong may mga agam-agam na ang grupong ito ay hindi tunay na Catolico subalit ito ay opisyal na pinabulaanan ni Mike Velarde at ni Bishop Bacani.
Tungkol sa IKAPU sa El Shaddai. Sa katunayan bilang mga Catolico hindi sila pwedeng obligahin ni Mike Velarde. Sila ay pinakikiusapan niya na mag-ikapu subalit hindi nya sila pwedeng pilitin kung ayaw. Marami sa kanila ang nag-iikapu subalit personal na desisyon nila iyon.
Sa mga hindi members ng El Shaddai na CAtholics meron ding nag-iikapu subalit ito ay mula sa kanilang sariling kagustuhan at hindi dahil sa utos ng Santa Iglesia. Yon ay personal choice hindi obligation.

good day po, kilala nyo rin po ba si father archie ng shalom? minsan napo kasi syang nag-guest sa 700 club ng mga born again, baka po apostate sya, pero di naman po sigurado, kilala nyo po ba sya?
ReplyDeleteYes, I know Fr. Archie Guiriba, OFM the leader of Shalom. Well, he is not apostate because there is nothing wrong being guessed in 700 Club but he is indeed quite controversial. For instance, he does not follow the liturgy. Imagine, during Good Friday their prayer worship in Araneta Coliseum was characterized by shoutings of Alleluia and rock bands playing in full sound. But, officially he is not an apostate just a flamboyant Charismatic priest.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Fr. Guiribas artistic style of mass can be considered as one of the liturgical abuses mentioned by Pope Benedict XVI. It seems that the mass is more inclined to the protestant that to the Catholic.
ReplyDeleteDear Bro. Noel,
ReplyDeleteObviously, the style of Guiriba is a violation of the liturgical norm established by the Holy Father and for that it can be considered a violation.
Our Mass is not inclined toward the Protestants but it is a TETANUS to Protestantism. It is Catholic in form and in substance. It is performed by a validly ordained priets, with Canons approved by the Holy See focused on the Institution Narrative as the focal point for Transubstantation, the Sacrificial Nature of the Mass is highlighted in the Canons and these are done in a language understandable to the people.
By doing so we disarmed one of the most powerful weapon of Protestants against the Church: that we don't want people to know the Mass in a language understandable to them in order to hide the pagan elements in our worship. The vernacular weakened the Protestant apologetics and made the Mass more accessible to the Masses. ACTUALLY, THAT WAS THE SAME REASON WHY THE MASS IS TRANSLATED INTO LATIN FROM GREEK. SO THAT IT WILL BE UNDERSTANDABLE TO THE PEOPLE. WHEN LATIN CEASES TO BE THE LINGUA FRANCA FOR THE WORLD THE CHURCH ONCE AGAIN CHOSE THE LATEST 'VULGATE' = THE VULGAR OR VERNACULAR LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE. The same thing done by the Church in Egypt, they translated the Mass into Coptic. Then, Sts. Cyril and Methodius even INVENTED A NEW ALPHABET for the Mass and for the education of the Slavs. They formed and implemented the SLAVIC LANGUAGE for the people of the Kievan Russ: Russia, Ukraine, Poland, etc.
NEVER DID THE CHURCH BECAME A ONE LANGUAGE CHURCH. IT IS ALWAYS MULTI-LANGUAGE FROM PENTECOST UNTIL NOW. Even during the Trent era, the Church was multi-lingual liturgically.
Read the conversion story of Dr. Scott Hahn and Steve Ray. One former Presbyterian Minister and the other former Baptist minister. When they both attended the Holy Mass for the first time they cried and it hastened their conversiion. THE PROTESTANTS AND THE BORN AGAIN HATE THE NOVUS ORDO MASS, BUT THE SSPX ULTRA TRADS THEY CLAIM THAT THE NOVUS ORDO MASS IS PROTESTANT. Who among them is lying in this case?
It is a great mystery to me why the local hierarchy has not seen fit to officially disown the El Shaddai as a Catholic group.Aside from the celebration of Holy Mass (about which I strongly doubt if anybody in the group understands what's going on)there doesn't seem to be too many similarities in their style of worship to a Catholic prayer worship.It is so far out even to resemble a regular Catholic Charismatic prayer meeting.Their use of white handkerchiefs, umbrellas to catch blessings, and other objects which are definitely not sacramentals, and used exclusively by them are definite signs, it would seem to me , that they are evolving into some kind of Christian cult.Add to that Bro. Mike's unmistakable preaching of the prosperity gospel mimicking the tele-evangelists and you have a group which it is very difficult to call Catholic by any standard.
ReplyDeleteI used to serve at Sto. Domingo Church, in Quezon City, and some parishioners who belonged to El Shaddai,invited by their neighbors attended a PREX seminar. In the application form they filled out, they entered their religion as EL SHADDAI.We found also that most of them were not confirmed, not married in Church and do not go to confession at all-but they file in long lines to receive communion at their El Shaddai services.You would never hear Bro. Mike talk about the need for Sacraments.
It seems to me the Church is afraid that any correction made to the group and its teachings will result in their bolting from the Catholic Church, taking away millions of Catholics with it and so continue to coddle it, in the meantime making it bigger because some are enticed precisely by it's claim to being Catholic.
I think the members of El Shaddai do not have any loyalty to the Catholic Church or to the Pope.And no matter what he says, neither does Bro. Mike-it would show in his teachings if he had. It has come to the point ( I suspect for a long time now) that their only authority is Bro. Mike Velarde and will follow him wherever he goes, away from the Church, if needed.
When will the leaders of the local Church end its denial stage,come to its senses and finally wake up to the truth about EL SHADDAI? I pray to the Holy Spirit- soon.
[It is a great mystery to me why the local hierarchy has not seen fit to officially disown the El Shaddai as a Catholic group.]
ReplyDeleteBROTHER, I UNDERSTAND YOUR REASONS AND YOUR SENTIMENTS. HOWEVER, PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THE CHURCH IS MOTHER AND TEACHER OF THE FAITHFUL. A MOTHER DOES NOT DISOWN HER SONS AND DAUGHTERS UNTIL SHE EXAUSTED ALL MEANS TO CORRECT AND HELP THEM. A TEACHER MUST NOT EASILY SURRENDER HER DUTY TO EDUCATE JUST BECAUSE THE STUDENTS ARE ERRING.
ONE OF THE VIRTUES COMING FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT IS PATIENCE AND AT THE SAME TIME UNDERSTANDING. BUT OF COURSE WE HAVE TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES IN THESE GROUP.
[Aside from the celebration of Holy Mass (about which I strongly doubt if anybody in the group understands what's going on)]
I KNOW PERSONALLY SOME MEMBERS THAT THEY ARE AWARE EXACTLY WHAT THE HOLY MASS IS. THEY ARE CALLING IT 'THE HIGHEST FORM OF WORSHIP."
[there doesn't seem to be too many similarities in their style of worship to a Catholic prayer worship.]
THEIR MASS IS JUST LIKE OUR MASS BUT THEY ARE SINGING VERY LIVELY SONGS BUT DURING COMMUNION THEY ARE ALSO SINGING MODERATED SONGS ALSO. POPULAR ONES USUALLY SUNG IN THE PARISHES.
THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THEIR MASS. YOU CAN CHECK IT ON T.V. I DO CHECK THEM FROM TIME TO TIME.
[It is so far out even to resemble a regular Catholic Charismatic prayer meeting.]
YES. THAT IS TRUE. BUT THEY ARE DOING IT OUTSIDE THE MASS. THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE THEY USUALLY DO IT OVERNIGHT.
[Their use of white handkerchiefs, umbrellas to catch blessings, and other objects which are definitely not sacramentals, and used exclusively by them are definite signs, it would seem to me , that they are evolving into some kind of Christian cult.]
THAT IS POSSIBLE. BUT MIKE VELARDE IS SAYING THAT THEY ARE MERELY PROPS FOR HIS MESSAGE TO THROUGH THE AUDIENCE.
I THINK THEY ARE INDEED PROPS BUT YOUR CONCERN IS ALSO FOUNDED. THEY HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL UNLESS THEY WILL BECOME A CULT.
[Add to that Bro. Mike's unmistakable preaching of the prosperity gospel mimicking the tele-evangelists and you have a group which it is very difficult to call Catholic by any standard.]
ReplyDeleteTHE GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY IS INDEED AN EVANGELICAL OR BORN AGAIN INVENTED TEACHING. IT MUST BE AVOIDED. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO DECLARE A GROUP OR AN INDIVIDUAL AS HERETIC. BECAUSE IN THE BIBLE THERE ARE REALLY ALOT OF PROMISES GIVEN BY GOD FOR THOSE WHO WILL OBEY HIS COMMAND.
[I used to serve at Sto. Domingo Church, in Quezon City, and some parishioners who belonged to El Shaddai,invited by their neighbors attended a PREX seminar.

IF THEY ARE NOT MARRIED IN THE CHURCH IT IS THE FAULT OF THE LOCAL MINISTERS. WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THEIR OWN PARISHES WHERE THESE FOLKS ARE LIVING. WE CANNOT JUST BLAME THE EL SHADDAI FOR THIS. IT IS A MANIFESTATION OF THE CHURCH FAILURE TO PROVIDE CATECHESIS AND SACRAMENTS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
[I think the members of El Shaddai do not have any loyalty to the Catholic Church or to the Pope.]
ReplyDeleteI THINK THE GREAT MAJORITY IS FAITHFUL TO THE POPE. WHEN THE POPE WAS HERE IN THE COUNTRY THE EL SHADDAI CAME IN FULL FORCE WITH CRYING AND MANIFESTATION OF LOVE FOR THE HOLY FATHER. MIKE VELARDE BECAME A NON-BEING WHEN THE POPE WAS HERE.
[And no matter what he says, neither does Bro. Mike-it would show in his teachings if he had. It has come to the point ( I suspect for a long time now) that their only authority is Bro. Mike Velarde and will follow him wherever he goes, away from the Church, if needed.]
MIKE VELARDE WAS ALREADY INVITED BY THE BORN AGAIN FROM THE VERY START TO BE WITH THEM BUT HE REFUSED. I DOUBT VELARDE'S SINCERITY BUT IN POLITICS HE REFUSED TO ENDORSE 'OPENLY' IN RESPECT TO THE BISHOPS. ON ISSUE OF DEATH PENALTY AND ABORTIONS AND RH BILL HE ALSO FAITHFUL TO THE CATHOLIC CHRUCH. SO THE PICTURE IS NOT ALL BLURRED AND NEGATIVE. HE ALSO SHOWED LOYALTY.
WHEN CARDINAL SIN CALLED FOR A RALLY AGAINST PRO-CONTRACEPTIVE PROGRAM OF RAMOS THE EL SHADDAI FILLED LUNETA WITH OTHER CATHOLICS WITH THE RALLYISTS NUMBERING 1.5 MILLION.
[When will the leaders of the local Church end its denial stage,come to its senses and finally wake up to the truth about EL SHADDAI? I pray to the Holy Spirit- soon.]
THE CHURCH KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING. AND I THINK SHE IS DOING IT PROPERLY. WHAT I HOPE IS THAT TEH PRIESTS AND BISHOPS ASSIGNED WITH EL SHADDAI WILL BE THE ONE TO ACT DECISIVELY AND START CATECHIZING THEM INSTEAD OF SIMPLY DROWNING THEM WITH STORIES, JOKES AND SINGING.
Fr. Abe,Im a Catholic Charismatic when I present myself to Some Traditionalist, they condemn us and our organizations. They jeered on us at sabi nila sa demonyo daw kami or something. We love the Lord in the Catholic Faith pero bakit ganun sila? Still we pray for them. Nagiging malakas ang loob namin kapag nagsasalita na ang Santo Papa. For we know He knows us. Kea siya ang naggng tagapag tanggol ko whenever I quote him before these Catholics. Increase my faith Fr.Abe, explain us the authenticity of the Faith. I belong to the Light of Jesus Community by Bo Sanchez and the Shepherds Flock Catholic Community by Albert Morales.
ReplyDeleteDEAR ADVENT,
ReplyDeleteWAG MO NA LANG PANSININ ANG MGA TRADITIONALISTS NA YON. KULANG LANG SILA SA PANSIN.
I HAVE GREAT RESPECT SA MGA CHARISTMATICS KASI THEY HAVE A LOT OF CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHURCH.
me too malaki din ang utng na loob ko sa El Shaddai at sa ibang charismatic movement....their preachers are also good apologists....kasi whenever na ginugulo ng ibang sekta ang isip ko....maliban sa pari ay nagtatanong din ako sa preacher at sa pakikinig ko....their explanation is really in congruent with the the Church's teachings..............kaya charismatic movements sa simbahan ay ang army ng simbahan para sugpuin ang paninira ng ibang sekta since preachers of the charismatic renewal movement are also good apologists same as the catholic faith defenders......
ReplyDeleteFr. Abe,,, re El Shaddai,,,
ReplyDeleteInvolved po ako sa aming parish,,, but never nakikihalo sa aming mga ministries ang E S members,,, meron silang separate ministries tulad ng wake group ,,,
Mukha pong hindi kaya nina Bishop Bacani at ibang kaparian na rendahan ang E S,, bagkus may “tsismis” na malaki daw po ang donation ng ES sa mga ito,,,
One time they had a prayer meeting sa aming parokya,,, they covered with cloth ang statue ni Mama Mary,,,,
Bro Mike has political (presidential)ambitions,,,, a congressman son,,,, and probably the richness.... at catholic expense,
Totoo naman po na marami ang maililigaw ng mga magsusulputan bulaang propeta,,,,
Please lang po,,, kailan po natin aaminin ang katotohanan,,,,
Salamat po,,, concern lang po ako,,,,
Jessie James
DEAR BRO. JESSIE,
ReplyDeleteI UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. THERE ARE ABUSES IN EL SHADDAI AND MIKE VELARDE IS NOT SO GOOD A ROLE MODEL.
ONE TIME I WAS INVITED TO CELEBRATE THE MASS FOR THEM IN BULACAN. I ARRIVED EARLIER AND HEARD THE PREACHING OF THE SPEAKER. HE WAS TEACHING "FAITH ALONE" BY THE BORN-AGAIN. WHEN I DELIVERED MY HOMILY PINAAPOY KO ANG PULPITO WITH VERSES REFUTING FAITH ALONE. NAPAHIYA ANG SPEAKER.
WE MUST WORK TO CORRECT THESE THINGS.
"WE MUST WORK TO CORRECT THESE THINGS. "
ReplyDeletePansin ko lang po na wala silang statue o imahen ng Mama Mary sa kanilang pagtitipon o prayer meeting, kahit na dito sa Sucat, Paranaque,,,,
Q: Can we require them to put up a more "catholic spirit" in thier prayer meeting,,, e.g. religious statues,,,,(of Mama Mary)
Salamat po,,,,, Jessie James
YES, THEIR NATIONAL SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR SHOULD TELL THEM TO BE MORE CATHOLIC IN THEIR LIVING OF THE FAITH.
ReplyDeleteSA PALAGAY KO HINDI LANG EL SHADDAI ANG MAY GANYANG PROBLEMA KAHIT YUNG IBANG CHARISMATIC GROUP RIN NAMAN MAY GANYANG PROBLEMA
ReplyDeleteWHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE PAG MAY MASS ANG CAMPUS MINISTRY ANG MGA YOUTH FOR CHRIST MAY SARILING PRAYER MEETING. SABI NILA NABE-BLESS DAW SILA SA PRAYER MEETING NILA AT SA MGA WORSHIP SONGS (USUALLY MGA KANTA NG HILLSONG AUSTRALIA). PARANG NAMANG HINDI SILA MABE-BLESS NI CRISTO SA EUCHARIST.

KUNG GANOON ANONG PAPEL NG "BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT" NG MGA CHARISMATIC?
SA PAGKAKA-ALAM KO ITO AY ISANG PAG GAYA SA MGA PENTECOSTAL (NA PINANGGALINGAN KO) NA ANG KAIBAHAN LANG EH SA PENTECOSTAL "BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE INITIAL EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES" SO KUNG BAPTIZED KA NA NG HOLY SPIRIT (AYON SA MGA PENTECOSTAL) E NAKAKAPAG-TONGUES KA, KUNG DI KA MAKAPAG-TONGUES IBIG SABIHIN EH DI KA PA "BAPTIZED"
