CATOLICO BA SI ADOLF HITLER?

Pope John Paul the Great after he was installed as a New Pope. He fought Nazism during his teenage life. And Catholic Poland became one of the most devastated cities after the World War II.

Salamat po Father sa magandang paliwanag nyo tungkol sa pagbibigay ng "honor" sa mga banal.

May isang tanong lang po ako Father, is it true that Adolf Hitler was a Catholic? Meron din po kasi akong nakitang picture sa internet kung saan ang mga obispo ay nagbigay ng Nazi salute kay Hitler. Heto po yong link sa picture http://www.nobeliefs.com/images/NaziPriestsSaluteHitler.jpg

Hope you can enlighten me with this Father.

Maraming salamat po.

Dear Anonymous,

Si Adolf Hitler ay isang dating Catholic subalit ito ay kanyang tinalikuran at gumawa siya ng sarili nyang Pilosopia at mga idea na hindi tugma sa aral ng Catholic Church. Ito ang sabi ng Wikipedia:

"According to historian Bradley F. Smith, Hitler's father Alois, though nominally a Catholic, was somewhat religiously sceptical,[1] while his mother was a practicing Catholic.[2] According to historian Michael Rissmann, young Hitler was influenced in school by Pan-Germanism and began to reject the Catholic Church, receiving Confirmation only unwillingly. A boyhood friend reports that after Hitler had left home, he never again attended a Catholic Mass or received the Church's Sacraments.[3] Georg Ritter von Schönerer's writings and the written legacy of his Pan-German Away from Rome! movement, which agitated against the Catholic Church at the end of the 19th century, may have influenced the young Hitler.[4] At the Benedictine monastery school which Hitler attended for one school year as a child (1897–98), Hitler became top of his class, receiving 12 1's, the highest grade, in the final quarter. He also sang in the choir at the monastery.[5]"

Anak sa ng mga Catolico at pinag-aral sa Catholic School. Subalit iniwan nya ang kanyang Catholic Faith. Hindi nya sinunod ang Sampung Utos ng Dios at ang mga Catholic Precepts. Sa halip ipinahayag nya ang Pilosopia ng "Supremacy of the Aryan Race" na mababa ang uri ang turing sa mga Judio at mga may kulay. Hindi nya pinakinggan ang turo ng Simbahan na si Jesus at si Maria ay mga Judio at ang kaligtasan ay para sa lahat ng tao. Kaya nga Catholic Church tayo e. Ibig sabihin ay Universal... we accept all people and all cultures.

The Catholic Church opposed Hitler and tried to save the Jews from his grasp during World War II. Hundreds of thousands of Jews were saved because they were hidden by Catholics in the Monasteries and Seminaries, Convents and Churches. If you want proof for that see THE SOUND OF MUSIC. The Von Trapp family were saved by the Nuns of the Abbey. Also see, the Academy Award Winning film Schlinders List. The protagonist, Mr. Oscar Schindlers - a Catholic, worked so hard to save the lives of Jews from Gestapos. BOTH MOVIES ARE BASED ON TRUE STORIES.

The command to save Jews came from Pope Pius XII, the only one who can give the command to open monasteries to non-Catholics.

The pictures shown on those websites were taken before World War II. When Hitler was not yet the monster that attacked Europe. Being the political leader of his nation Hitler was frequently meeting all people, politicians, businessmen, Church leaders etc. Those signs were signs of respect to the Head of the State but not acceptance of his Nazi Ideology.

Hitler sent to death thousands of priests and nuns, including ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE and ST. EDITH STEIN. They both died in Gestapo concentration camps. Then ask kung may Iglesia ni Manalo o Dating Daan na namatay sa pakikibaka laban sa mga Nazi. WALA.

Si Pope John Paul the Great o si Karol Wojtyla ay dating miembro ng Anti-Nazi movement sa Poland nuong kanyang kabataan. Isa pa siya sa mga nagtayo ng underground movement using theater and arts para ipakita ang kasamaan ni Hitler at ng mga Nazi. Kaya dahil duon ay pinaghanap siya ng mga Gestapo spies subalit hindi nila nahuli dahil itinago sa Seminaryo. Siya ay ginawaran ng parangal ng Israel dahil ay isang babaeng Judio na nakatakas sa bilangguan at ito ay nahimatay sa kalsada. Mahuhuli sana iyon ng mga Nazi. Subalit dumaan ang isang batang seminarista, akala ng babae ay pari. Isinalaysay niya na siya ay binuhat ng batam-bata at napaka-guapong pari sa kanyang balikat at dinala siya sa ligtas na lugar. Pinakain at itinago. Nung dumalaw si Pope John Paul the Great sa Israel ang babae na matanda na ay nagsalita at nagsabi: "ANG PARING NAGLIGTAS SA AKIN AY KILALA NA NGAYON BILANG SI JOHN PAUL II."

Si Pope Benedict XVI o Josef Ratzinger ay isang German. Bagamat ayaw niyang maging sundalo siya ay hinuli ng mga Nazi at sapilitang ginawang sundalo. Subalit hindi siya lumaban sa gera. Nanduon lamang siya sa headquarters nagtratrabaho. Then later, tumakas siya sa Hitler Youth Camp.

Si Pope John XXIII naman ay Apostolic Nuncio sa Greece at Turkey noong panahong iyon. Nakipag tulungan siya sa mga Allied Forces para maitakas ang mga Judio palabas ng Europe. Kaya sa mga trials ng mga Nazi ay isa siya sa mga nagtestigo kung sino ang mga tumulong o hindi. Ang mga Manalo at si Soriano ay mga INUTIL. Hindi tumulong. MGA WALANG PAKINABANG.

Ang Pag-aalay Ba ng Bulaklak at Pag-alala sa Mga Santo ay Labag sa Biblia?

Thank You very much po Fr. Abe!

Yun nga po ang ginamit nya na bible verse sa old testament. Naka-usap ko po yang classmate ko na nagyaya sakin ng debate and tinanong ko po kung ano ang religion nya before. Ang sabi nya po sakin Catholic po sya at ang buong pamilya nya ay nasa Catholic Church pero sya lang daw po ang humiwala'y nung sya ay 15 yrs. old. Ngayon po 17 yrs. old na sya. Madami po syang nalaman na mali sa ating simbahan na dinedepensahan ko po naman. Even our religion teacher kinequestion nya po. Ang sabi nya po sa akin nag oobserve pa daw po sya ng mga simbahan at tinitignan nya kung alin daw po ang masasalihan nya. pero he claimed that he is a member of CHURCH OF GOD. Then sabi ko po "Alin ung ADD ni Eli Soriano?" sabi nya ndi daw po ndi sya kay Eli Soriano, basta ang simbahan nya daw po ay ang Church of God and tinatakwil nya po ang simbahang Iglesya Catolico. Ipagdasal na lang po natin na umuwi na sya sa simbahang si Jesus Christ ang nag tatag. Ang Simbahang Catolico.

Meron po akong tanong ulit Fr. Abe,

Naalala ko po ung teacher ko dati na born again nung high school student pa po ako, sinasabi nya po na bakit daw po tayong mga Catolico ay nag aalay ng bulaklak sa mga santo, santa, kay Bl. Virgin Mary, at sa mga rebulto. Ang pag aalalay daw po ng bulaklak ay dapat sa Diyos lang at ndi sa tao. nakasulat daw po iyon sa Old testament pero wala naman po sya binangit na bible verse. Ang sabi ko po eh ang mga Bayani nga ng bansa meron silang rebulto upang maalala at linalagyan ng bulaklak tuwing araw ng kamatayan nila o kaarawan nila. Ang sabi nya po saakin Mali daw iyon nakasanayan na lang daw ng tao. Kaya tutol daw sya sa gawaing na iyon na pag aalay ng bulalak sa santo at sa mga bayani.

Thank You po again for your help Fr. Abe! God Bless!

DEAR MIGUEL JERICO,

I'M VERY SORRY FOR THIS VERY LATE REPLY. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE BLOG I FINISHED A LOT OF RESEARCH AND EXCHANGES WITH SOME ANTI-CATHOLICS FIRST BEFORE I RESUMED ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

CONCERNING YOUR FRIEND, NASABI N'YA LANG IYON SAPAGKAT WALANG SUMASAGOT NG MGA TANONG NYA NUON. SUBALIT KAPAG NAIPALIWANAG SA KANYA ANG BIBLICAL FOUNDATION NG CATHOLIC FAITH AT MABUKSAN ANG MGA MATA NYA SA MGA IMBENTONG ARAL NI MAMA ELI SORIANO E BABALIK DIN IYAN SA ATING PANANAMPALATAYA.

HERE IS YOUR QUESTIONS:

[Naalala ko po ung teacher ko dati na born again nung high school student pa po ako, sinasabi nya po na bakit daw po tayong mga Catolico ay nag aalay ng bulaklak sa mga santo, santa, kay Bl. Virgin Mary, at sa mga rebulto.]

KASI SABI SA BIBLIA WE SHOULD HONOR THOSE WHO SERVED THE LORD:

Psalm 149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this HONOUR have all his SAINTS. Praise ye the LORD.

Proverbs 21:21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth LIFE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and HONOUR.

Matthew 13:57 ...Jesus said unto them, A PROPHET is not without HONOUR, save in his own country, and in his own house. [The Prophets are being honoured]

John 12:26 If any MAN SERVE ME, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my SERVANT be: if any man serve me, him will my Father HONOUR.

Rom 2:10 But glory, HONOUR, and peace, to every man that WORKETH GOOD…

ANG PAGBIBIGAY NG BULALAK AY TANDA NG ATING PAGGALANG, PAGPUPUGAY, PAGPAPARANGAL SA MGA TAONG NAMUHAY SA KABANALAN TULAD NI VIRGIN MARY AT NG MGA SAINTS. NASA BIBLIA YA. AS EXPRESSED IN THE VERSES ABOVE. ANG MGA PROPHETA AT ANG MGA NAGLINGKOD SA DIOS AT ANG MGA GUMAGAWA NG KABUTIHAN AY BIBIGYAN NG GLORY AND HONOUR AND LIFE.

ANG HIRAP SA MGA BORN AGAIN, HINDI NILA SINUSUNOD ANG BIBLIA. AYAW NILANG I-HONOR ANG MGA SAINTS, PROPHETS AND PEOPLE WHO SERVED THE LORD FAITHFULLY LIKE MARY. ANG KAPAL NG MUKA NILANG SABIHING LIGTAS SILA. SINO BA SILA? KUNG MAY TUNAY NA LIGTAS SI MAMA MARY YON AT ANG MGA APOSTOLES. HE, HE, HE...

ANG PAGPUPUGAY AT PAGLUWALHATI SA MGA SANTO AT MGA MABUTING TAO AY HINDI LANG SA PAMAMAGITAN NG BULAKLAK, EXPRESSED DIN ITO SA KANTA, TULA, ARTS, BANNERS, MONUMENTS AT IBA PA. HE, HE, HE...

[Ang pag aalalay daw po ng bulaklak ay dapat sa Diyos lang at ndi sa tao. nakasulat daw po iyon sa Old testament pero wala naman po sya binangit na bible verse.]

WALA SYANG BINIGAY NA VERSE DAHIL WALANG VERSE NA NAGSASABI NA ANG BULAKLAK AY PARA SA DIOS LANG. NAPAKA TANGA NAMAN NIYA. KUNG MAY UTAK SIYA DAPAT ITUTURO NIYA NA ANG BULALAK AY BAHAGI NG DAIGDIG NA BINIGAY NG DIOS SA TAO. HINDI KAILANGAN NG DIOS ANG BULAKLAK DAHIL KANYA NA ANG LAHAT NG IYON BILANG CREATOR. SUBALIT TAYO KAILANGAN NATIN ANG MGA FRUITS, VEGETABLES, FLOWERS AT IBA PANG MGA BAGAY NG DAIGDIG FOR OUR NEEDS AND SATISFACTION.

ANG PAGBIBIGAY NG BULAKLAK AY TANDA NG PAGMAMAHAL NATIN SA ISANG TAO. ITO AY NAGMULA SA BIBLIA KUNG SAAN ANG PAGMAMAHALAN AY SINISIMBULO NG PAGTINGKAD AT PRESENSICIA NG BULAKLAK:

Song of Songs 7:12 "Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine hath budded, and its blossom be open, and the pomegranates be in FLOWER: there will I give thee my LOVE."

SEE, FRUITS AND FLOWERS ARE SYMBOLS OF PURE LOVE AND SWEET LOVE. TULAD NG PAG-IBIG NG DIOS SA TAO AT TULAD NG PAG-IBIG NG TAO SA DIOS. GAYON DIN SA PAG-IBIG NG MGA TAO SA ISA'T ISA. KAYA NGA ANG MGA MAGKASINTAHAN AY NAG-AALAY NG BULAKLAK SA ISAT ISA. GAYON DIN SA MGA INA AT ANG BAYAN SA MGA BAYANI.

[Ang sabi ko po eh ang mga Bayani nga ng bansa meron silang rebulto upang maalala at linalagyan ng bulaklak tuwing araw ng kamatayan nila o kaarawan nila.]

BUANG NA TALAGA ANG BORN AGAIN THE TEACHER NA IYAN. NAPAKA-KITID NG ISIP. ANG MGA TELEVANGELISTS NILA AT MGA PASTOR PINAPARANGALAN NILA SUBALIT ANG MGA TUNAY NA ALAGAD NG DIOS NA NAKASULAT SA BIBLIA ITINATATWA.

TAMA ANG IYONG PALIWANAG. TALAGANG NASA BIBLIA ANG PAGPUPUGAY SA MGA ALAGAD NG DIOS SA PAMAMAGITAN NG PAGTATAYO NG MONUMENTO PARA SA KANILA:

2 Kings 23:17 Then he said, What MONUMENT is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the SEPULCHRE OF THE MAN OF GOD, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.

KAYA NGA IPINAGTATAYO NG MONUMENTO ANG MGA LINGKOD NG DIOS. AT KADALASAAN ITO AY NAKATIRIK SA MISMONG LUGAR KUNG SAAN SILA NAMATAY O NAKALIBING. GAYA NG ST. PETER'S BASILICA AT NG BASILICA NI ST. PAUL SA ROMA NA NAKATAYO SA KANILANG MGA LIBINGAN.

SIEMPRE ANG MONUMENTO AY PINABANTAYAN, PINAPAGANDA, PINAG-AALAYAN NG MGA BULAKLAK, MAY GARDEN PA NGA SA PALIGID AT PINAGPUPUGAYAN ANG TAONG DINADAKILA NITO.

[Ang sabi nya po saakin Mali daw iyon nakasanayan na lang daw ng tao.]

SIGURO HINDI SYA TAO KAYA GANON ANG PAG-IISIP NYA. DAHIL ANG MGA TAO AY NAGPAPARANGAL SA MGA TAONG NABUHAY SA KABUTIHAN AT PANANAMPALATAYA SA DIOS.

[Kaya tutol daw sya sa gawaing na iyon na pag aalay ng bulalak sa santo at sa mga bayani.]

ABA E SIRA ULO SYA. TINUTUTULAN NYA ANG ISANG BAGAY NA HINDI NAMAN IPINAGBABAWAL NG BIBLIA. SA HALIP SINASABI SA BIBLIA NA ANG MGA TUNAY NA LINGKOD NG DIOS AY DADAKILAIN O PARARANGALAN. AT ANG MAGPAPARANGAL AY DIOS MISMO THEN ANG MGA TAO.

ANG KAISIPAN NIYA AY HINDI MAKA DIOS AT HINDI MAKATAO. HINDI RIN MAKA-BIBLIA. SA SAMPUNG UTOS PA LANG NG DIOS AY KASAMA NA ANG HONORING OF ANOTHER HUMAN PERSONS: "HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER!"

OBVIOUSLY, BOBO SA BIBLIA ANG BORN AGAIN TEACHER NA IYAN.

IN DEFENSE OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH VS. A LYING ANTI-CATHOLIC, Part 12 Upholding Scriptures and Apostolic Tradition vs Sola Scriptura

The Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin on Pentecost Day. The coming of the Holy Spirit inspired the Apostles to preach and to teach and to baptize people about the Risen Lord. The same Spirit inspired them to write the Scriptures.

Fr. Abe, CRS said...

[Catechism

13. Scripture and the Tradition together are the Church’s Supreme rule of Faith [80, 82]]

SO, LET ME CHECK THE CCC ARTICLES THAT YOU HAVE CITED. LET US SEE IF YOU GOT THEM RIGHT THIS TIME:

______________

CCC#80 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, then, are bound closely together, and communicate one with the other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, come together in some fashion to form one thing, and move towards the same goal."40 Each of them makes present and fruitful in the Church the mystery of Christ, who promised to remain with his own "always, to the close of the age".

WELL, LOOK AGAIN. IT IS NOWHERE STATED THERE THAT: "Scripture and the Tradition together are the Church’s Supreme rule of Faith". NADA... WALA... NOTHING. YOUR POSITION IS 'EVAPORADA'... HA, HA, HA... IT EVAPORATES AND DISINTEGRATES UNDER INTENSE SCRUTINY. HA, HA, HA... POOR YOU. HA, HA, HA...

CCC#82 As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence."

HA, HA, HA... IT IS TRUE THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH REJECTS "BIBLE ALONE" OR "SOLA SCRIPTURA".

THAT DOCTRINE IS NOT FROM JESUS, NOT FROM THE APOSTLES AND NOT FROM THE BIBLE. THAT IS DEMONICALLY INVENTED BY MARTIN LUTHER. IT WAS A 16TH CENTURY INVENTION... "BIBLE ALONE" DOGMA IS A TRADITION OF MAN, OR AN ANIMAL IF YOU PREFER IT, AND NEITHER FROM THE LORD JESUS NOR FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE APOSTOLIC TRADITION OR THE TRADITION HANDED ON BY THE APOSTLES IS IN THE BIBLE WORD FOR WORD, LITERALLY. BUT SOLA SCRIPTURA OR BIBLE ONLY OR BIBLE ALONE IS NOT, NADA, NUNCA... IN RUSSIAN: "NYET NYET!"

AGAIN LOOK AT THIS:

1 Corinthians 11:2 (New King James Version) Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and KEEP THE TRADITIONS just as I delivered them to you.

SEE, ST. PAUL HAD DELIVERED TO THE CHURCH AND ASKED US TO KEEP "THE TRADITIONS". THIS IS NOT THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS OR THE TRADITION OF MEN BUT THE APOSTOLIC TRADITION. HE, HE, HE... GET IT... AND HERE IS ANOTHER:

2 Thessalonians 2:15 [King James Version] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and HOLD THE TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, WHETHER BY WORD, OR BY OUR EPISTLE.

WE ARE HOLDING THE TRADITIONS GIVEN TO US BY THE APOSTLES... THE APOSTLIC TRADITION.

THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE APOSTOLIC TRADITION MANIFESTS THAT YOU ARE FAKES. YOUR FAITH IS NOT APOSTOLIC BUT RECENTLY INVENTED. YOU BELONG TO THE CHURCH OF THE DEVIL. YOUR FAITH WHICH IS BASED ON LUTHER'S DOGMA IS ALSO SATANIC.

[Bible -Scripture is the Church’s only Rule of Faith (Mark 7:7-13, 2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

OK, LET ME CHECK YOUR PROPOSED VERSES WHICH YOU CLAIMED TO BE THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATION OF YOUR SOLA SCRIPTURA DOGMA:

Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold THE TRADITION OF MEN, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

THIS PASSAGE SLAPS YOU ON THE FACE NOT US CATHOLICS. OUR APOSTOLIC TRADITION IS BIBLICAL AND REPEATEDLY MENTIONED BY ST. PAUL. BUT YOUR SOLA SCRIPTURA OR BIBLE ALONE IS NON-BIBLICAL AND UNBIBLICAL. THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF TRADITION OF MEN: "BIBLE ALONE, BIBLE ONLY".

YOU SET ASIDE THE APOSTOLIC TRADITION IN FAVOR OF THE DOCTRINE INVENTED BY MARTIN LUTHER. THIS PASSAGE FROM YOUR OWN QUOTE SUITS YOUR BIBLE ALONE INVENTION. THUS THE CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO WERE UPHOLDING THE TRADITION OF MEN SHALL FALL ON YOU AND YOUR COHORTS. NOT ON US CATHOLICS. WE SHALL BE BLESSED FOR SPOUSING A DOCTRINE THAT IS WORD FOR WORD BIBLICAL.

LET ME SEE YOUR SECOND VERSE:

Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

THE WORD OF GOD DIDN'T TEACH 'BIBLE ALONE' YET YOU STUBBORNLY INSIST ON IT. YOU ARE BREAKING THE WORD OF GOD TO SATANICALLY IMPOSE THE WORD OF LUTHER. AS CATHOLICS WE HAVE TO OPPOSE YOU AND FIGHT YOUR 'BIBLE ALONE' EVIL SCHEME. WE SHALL UPHOLD THE TRADITION WHICH THE APOSTLES HANDED US EITHER BY WORD OR BY EPISTLE.

HERE IS YOUR THIRD BIBLE PASSAGE:

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

YES, WE ARE SAYING THAT ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED BY GOD. WE DON'T HAVE A TEACHING SAYING "THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOT INSPIRED". NOTHING OF THAT AT ALL. WE ARE TEACHING THAT THE SCRIPTURES ARE INSPIRED. WE HAVE THE CCC TO PROVE THAT:

CCC#105 God is the author of Sacred Scripture. "The divinely revealed realities, which are contained and presented in the text of Sacred Scripture, have been written down under THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."

THERE IT IS, WORD FOR WORD. DIRECT, CATEGORICAL, SPECIFIC, UNAMBIGUOUS... THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES THAT THE SACRED SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

HOWEVER, IT IS NOWHERE STATED BY ST. PAUL IN 1 TIM. 3:16-17 THE DOCTRINE OF 'BIBLE ALONE'. HE DIDN'T SAY: "ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED AND THEREFORE FOLLOW THE SCRIPTURE ALONE." HA, HA, HA... NO, NO, NO... ST. PAUL DIDN'T SAY THAT, DIDN'T WRITE THAT AND DIDN'T TEACH THAT.

SO, IF YOU WANT TO DEMONICALLY REMAIN IN LUTHER'S INVENTED DOGMA: "BIBLE ALONE" WHICH IS A TRADITION OF MEN SO BE IT. BUT DON'T BLAME US IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT WHEN GOD WILL PUNISH YOU FOR UPHOLDING A TRADITION OF LUTHER.

[Wala akong religion.]

YOU ARE A LIAR. OF COURSE YOU HAVE A RELIGION. PLEASE REFRAIN IN MANIFESTING FURTHER YOUR HYPOCRISY.

IF IT IS TRUE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE RELIGION THEN YOU BELONG TO THE DEVIL. THE APOSTLES HAVE RELIGION AND CHRISTIANITY IS A RELIGION. ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR INDIRECTLY ADMITTING THAT YOU ARE NOT BELONGING TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. NOW WE KNOW WHY YOU CAN LIE THROUGH YOUR HIDDEN FACE. YOUR LACK OF RELIGION AND BEING A NON CHRISTIAN EXPLAINS WELL WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE.

[Pero wag kayong magkalat ng lason sa isipan ng tao...]

WE ARE NOT POISONING THE PEOPLE. OUR QUOTES AND CITATIONS ARE TRUE AND HONEST. YOURS ARE FULL OF DECEPTIONS. YOU ARE GIVING CITATIONS AND VERSES THAT DO NOT PRESENT WHAT YOU HAVE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN STATED IN OUR CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

IN DEFENSE OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH VS. A LYING ANTI-CATHOLIC, Part 11 The Sacred Scriptures and Apostolic Tradition

[Catechism

12. The Scripture and Tradition together are the Word of God [81, 85, 97, and 182]]

CCC#81 "Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit."

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH THIS?

CCC#85 "The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ."47 This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to the bishops in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.

CCC#97 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture make up a single sacred DEPOSIT of the Word of God" (DV 10) in which, as in a mirror, the pilgrim Church contemplates God, the source of all her riches.

CCC#182 We believe all "that which is contained in the word of God, written or handed down, and which the Church proposes for belief as divinely revealed" (Paul VI, CPG § 20).

WELL, SINCE WE BOTH BELIEVE THAT THE SACRED SCRIPTURES ARE WORD OF GOD THEN THERE IS NO DISPUTE BETWEEN US ON THAT. YOU ARE REJECTING OUR SACRED OR APOSTOLIC TRADITION.

SORRY FOR YOU BECAUSE OUR APOSTOLIC TRADITION IS BIBLICAL. THERE IS A TRADITION HANDED DOWN TO US BY THE APOSTLES:

1 Corinthians 11:2 (New King James Version) Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and KEEP THE TRADITIONS just as I delivered them to you.

SO, THERE ARE TRADITIONS THAT CAME FROM APOSTLE PAUL AND IT MUST NOT BE REJECTED BUT MUST BE KEPT. WE ARE KEEPING THEM AND YOU DO NOT. THAT IS YOUR LOSS NOT OURS.

2 Thessalonians 2:15 [King James Version] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and HOLD THE TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, WHETHER BY WORD, OR BY OUR EPISTLE.

AGAIN THERE ARE TRADITIONS TO HOLD ON TO. THESE ARE APOSTOLIC TRADITION OR SACRED TRADTION. THESE APOSTOLIC TRADITIONS ARE OF TWO KINDS: ORAL OR WRITTEN. SO PERFECTLY CATHOLIC. IT CATEGORICALLY AND CLEARLY SUPPORTS THE CATHOLIC TEACHING AS EXPRESSED IN THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

OUR CCC IS NOT CONTRARY TO THE BIBLE. IT SO HAPPENED THAT YOU ARE NOT READING YOUR BIBLE PROPERLY.

[Bible

-Scripture is the Word of God (John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21).]

John 10:35 [Good News Bible] We know that what the scripture says is true forever; and God called those people gods, the people to whom his message was given.

THIS IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE CATHOLIC TEACHING. WE BELIEVE THAT THE SCRIPTURES WILL ENDURE FOREVER. THAT IS WHY THE MOST POPULAR TELEVISION NETWORK OWNED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NAMED: EWTN - ETERNAL WORD TELEVISION NETWORK. HE, HE, HE... WHERE CAN YOU FIND IN OUR CCC THAT WE BELIEVE THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS "NOT TRUE"? WHERE? GIVE THE ARTICLE NUMBER PLEASE.

1 Timothy 3:16 [Good News] No one can deny how great is the secret of our religion: He appeared in human form, was shown to be right by the Spirit, and was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, and was taken up to heaven.

WELL, THIS IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH. WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS GOD WHO APPEARED ON EARTH IN HUMAN FORM. THE INC BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS ONLY MAN, SO FOR THEM HE DIDN'T APPEAR IN HUMAN FORM, HE IS HUMAN FROM THE BEGINNING.

THE BORN AGAIN AND THE BAPTISTS CLAIM THAT THEY DON'T HAVE RELIGION. SO THE TEXT DOES NOT APPLY TO THEM EITHER.

2 Peter 1:20 [Good News] Above all else, however, remember that none of us can explain by ourselves a prophecy in the Scriptures.

THIS IS AGAINST SOLA SCRIPTURA. IT IS A SLAP ON THE FACE TO ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN BIBLE ALONE. IT IS CONTRARY TO YOUR CLAIM THAT EVERY CHRISTIAN CAN INTERPRET SCRIPTURES. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES THAT IN ORDER FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO TRULY INTERPRET THE BIBLE CORRECTLY HE MUST BE UNDER THE GRACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND GUIDED BY THE TEACHING AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH.

[Tradition is the Words of men (Mark 7:1-13)]

O NO, NO, NO... YOU ARE LYING HERE. WHAT THE LORD REJECTS IS THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS OR TRADITION OF MEN NOT SACRED TRADITION, NOT APOSTOLIC TRADITON OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, READ THE TEXT CAREFULLY. WHAT WERE REJECTED WERE NOT TEACHINGS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH:

Mark 7:2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

THIS IS ABOUT WASHING OF HANDS BEFORE EATING. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS NO DOCTRINE FOR WASHING OF HANDS BEFORE EATING. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALT THERE IS SUCH A GUIDELINE. HA, HA, HA... YOU CAN THROW THEM YOUR ACCUSATIONS IF YOU WANT. HA, HA, HA... IF YOU CAN ARGUE THAT WE HAVE A DOCTRINE ABOUT WASHING OF HANDS BEFORE EATING THEN SHOW IT FROM THE CCC.

Mark 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS.

WHAT WE HAVE IS NOT TRADITION OF THE ELDERS BUT APOSTOLIC TRADITION OR SACRED TRADITION - THE TRADITIONS HANDED ON TO US BY THE APOSTLES THROUGH ORAL TEACHING.

Mark 7:4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

WE ARE NOT BOUND BY THESE RULES. THESE ARE NOT CATHOLIC DOCTRINES. WHERE IN OUR CCC DO WE HAVE RULES AND DOCTRINES CONCERNING WASHING OF CUPS AND POTS?

YOU SEE, YOUR POSITION IS STANDING ON SAND. HA, HA, HA....

IN DEFENSE OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH VS. A LYING ANTI-CATHOLIC, Part 10 The Rejection of Bible Alone Dogma of Luther

Old Catholic Illustrated Bible

Fr. Abe, CRS said...

[Catechism

11. The Magisterium has the right to define truth found only obscurely or implicitly of the revelation [66, 82]

LET US SEE YOUR CITATION:

CCC#66 "The Christian economy, therefore, since it is the new and definitive Covenant, will never pass away; and no new public revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ."28 Yet even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries.

HA, HA, HA... LIAR, LIAR, LIAR... WHAT YOU ARE CLAIMING IS NEITHER CONTAINED NOR MENTIONED IN CCC#66. HA, HA, HA...

CCC#82 As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence."

THE SAME THING FOR THIS ART. 82. WHAT IS STATED HERE IS THAT WE REJECT SOLA SCRIPTURA, THE DEMONIC DOGMA INVENTED BY MARTIN LUTHER BUT SWALLOWED BY PROTESTANTS, BAPTISTS, BORN AGAIN, INC, ADD AND THE LIKES.

[Bible - No One has right to go beyond what is written in Scripture (1 Corinthians 4:6, Proverbs 30:6)]

1 Corinthians 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

HA, HA, HA... IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN HOW COME YOU DIABOLICALLY TEACH THE DOGMA INVENTED BY MARTIN LUTHER DURING THE 16TH CENTURY ONLY.

THE TEACHING OF SOLA SCRIPTURA IS NOT BIBLICAL. IT IS NOT WRITTEN. WHERE IS IT IN THE BIBLE? 1 COR. 4:6 DOES NOT SAY 'BIBLE ALONE'. IT DOES NOT SAY THAT DOCTRINES ARE TO BE FOUND IN BIBLE ALONE.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND 'SOLA SCRIPTURA' IN THE BIBLE?

ACTUALLY, THAT 'DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN' IS NOT THE ONLY TRANSLATION OF THAT PHRASE AND IS NOT THE EXCLUSIVE MEANING OF THE ORIGINAL GREEK. IT SPEAKS OF 'FOLLOWING THE RULES OR DOING WHAT IS PROPER'. THAT PHRASE CAN BE TRANSLATED IN MANY MODES BUT NONE OF THEM PROVES TO SOLA SCRIPTURA. IT IS TOO MUCH STRETCH OF IMAGINATION TO SEE SOLA SCRIPTURA THERE. THIS IS PROVEN BY OTHER PROTESTANT SCHOLARS:

1 Corinthians 4:6 [GOOD NEWS BIBLE] For your sake, my friends, I have applied all this to Apollos and me, using the two of us as an example, so that you may learn what the saying means, "OBSERVE THE PROPER RULES." None of you should be proud of one person and despise another.

HA, HA, HA... YOU SEE. THE UNITED BIBLE SOCIETY WHICH IS PROTESTANT TRANSLATED IT DIFFERENTLY.

1 Corinthians 4:6 [AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION] Friends, I have used Apollos and myself as examples to teach you the meaning of the saying, "FOLLOW THE RULES." I want you to stop saying that one of us is better than the other.

HA, HA, HA... IT SUPPORTS THE UNITED BIBLE SOCIETY IN SAYING ITS ABOUT FOLLOWING THE RULES. IT IS NOT ABOUT SOLA SCRIPTURA:

1 Corinthians 4:6 (Contemporary English Version) Friends, I have used Apollos and myself as examples to teach you the meaning of the saying, "Follow the rules." I want you to stop saying that one of us is better than the other.

1 Corinthians 4:6 (The Message) All I'm doing right now, friends, is showing how these things pertain to Apollos and me so that you will learn restraint and not rush into making judgments without knowing all the facts. It's important to look at things from God's point of view. I would rather not see you inflating or deflating reputations based on mere hearsay.

WHERE IS THE 'NOT GOING BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN' THERE? HA, HA, HA... NOW LET US PROCEED TO THE SECOND VERSE YOU HAVE PROVIDED AS PROOF FOR SOLA SCRIPTURA:

Provebs 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a LIAR.

IT FITS YOU PERFECTLY. LUTHER INVENTED SOLA SCRIPTURA AND SOLA FIDE AND YOU SWALLOWED HIS INVENTED DOGMAS. YOU WERE THE ONES WHO ADDED IN THE WORD OF GOD. THE CURSE IS UPON YOU, NOT US.

IN DEFENSE OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH VS. A LYING ANTI-CATHOLIC, Part 9 The Correct Interpretation of the Word of God

St. Jerome, priest and doctor of the Church - translator of the Latin Bible. Shown here in Catholic Action's Confraternity Bible.

Fr. Abe, CRS said...

[Catechism 10. Scripture is to be interpreted in the sense in which it has been define by the Magisterium [113, 119]]

NOW, YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND AND PROVEN A LIAR, LIAR, LIAR BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT. I AM AMAZED BY YOUR CAPACITY TO LIE AND DECEIVE PEOPLE. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT A PRIEST CAN BE DECEIVED BY YOUR DECEPTIVE CLAIMS?

I HAVE A COPY OF CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN FRONT OF MY STUDY AND OFFICE TABLE DAILY AND I AM USING THE SAME BOOK AS REFERENCE FOR MY THEOLOGY CLASSES. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT? HA, HA, HA...

CCC#113 2. Read the Scripture within "the living Tradition of the whole Church". According to a saying of the Fathers, Sacred Scripture is written principally in the Church's heart rather than in documents and records, for the Church carries in her Tradition the living memorial of God's Word, and IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO GIVES HER THE SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATION OF THE SCRIPTURE (". . . according to the spiritual meaning which THE SPIRIT grants to the Church"81).

YOU DEMONICALLY CLAIMS THAT OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE SCRIPTURE IS BASED ON THE MAGISTERIUM AND NOT AS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES, i.e., FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. YET, IF YOU WILL READ THE ACTUAL STATEMENT OF THE CCC THE CHURCH PROCLAIMS THAT THE INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURES COMES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THAT SHE ADMONISHES HER FAITHFUL TO STUDY THE SCRIPTURES BY BEING FAITHFUL TO THE INTERPRETATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH GOD HAD HANDED TO THE CHURCH.

YOU ARE CHANGING OUR CATHOLIC DOCTRINES TO SUIT YOUR SATANIC OBJECTIVE. AND YOU ARE EMPLOYING THE SAME TACTIC: DECEPTION. YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS AND YOUR BRAIN CELLS DOWN. SORRY FOR YOU.

CCC#119 "It is the task of exegetes to work, according to these rules, towards a better understanding and explanation of the meaning of Sacred Scripture in order that their research may help the Church to form a firmer judgment. For, of course, all that has been said about the manner of interpreting Scripture is ultimately subject to the judgement of the Church which exercises the divinely conferred commission and ministry of watching over and interpreting the Word of God."

BOTH CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANTS, EVANGELICALS AND BORN AGAIN, INC AND ADD, ETC. ARE USING EXEGESIS... MEANING SCHOLARLY STUDY OF THE TEXTS OF THE SACRED SCRIPTURES. EACH OF THESE RELIGIONS HAVE PASTORS AND MINISTERS WHO ARE TEACHING THEIR INTERPRETATION OF THE SCRIPTURES. THUS, TO CONSIDER THIS AS CONTRARY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ABSURD, ILLOGICAL AND DOWNRIGHT STUPID. GOD GAVE US REASON IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FAITH AND BE ABLE TO RESEARCH THE SCHOLARS' COMMENTARIES OF SACRED SCRIPTURES.

BESIDES, THIS CCC ARTICLE ONCE AGAIN DOES NOT EXPRESS WHAT YOU ARE CLAIMING TO BE OUR DOCTRINE.

[Bible - Scripture must be Interpreted in the original sense intended by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 3:14-16)]

HERE IS YOUR BIBLICAL TEXT:

2 Peter 3:14-16 And so, my friends, as you wait for that Day, do your best to be pure and faultless in God's sight and to be at peace with him. Look on our Lord's patience as the opportunity he is giving you to be saved, just as our dear friend Paul wrote to you, using the wisdom that God gave him. This is what he says in all his letters when he writes on the subject. There are some difficult things in his letters which ignorant and unstable people explain falsely, as they do with other passages of the Scriptures. So they bring on their own destruction.

THAT ADMONITION OF ST. PETER, OUR FIRST POPE, STRIKES TERROR IN YOUR SOLA SCRIPTURA AND NOT ON CATHOLIC DOCTRINE. BECAUSE IN SOLA SCRIPTURA IT WILL ME: "ME AND THE BIBLE ALONE". EVERY INTERPRETATION OF EACH INDIVIDUAL IS CORRECT BECAUSE AS YOU CLAIMED EACH HAS THE RIGHT AND ABILITY TO INTERPRET SCRIPTURES. SO, EVERY BODY IS CORRECT. NO WRONG INTERPRETATIONS. THIS WILL LEAD TO DOCTRINAL CHAOS.

THAT IS WHY THE NON-CATHOLICS ARE DIVIDING AND DIVIDING WITH NEW RELIGIONS YEAR AFTER YEAR. WHY? BECAUSE SOLA SCRIPTURA IS A FORMULA FOR CHAOS AND DIVISIONS. WHEN ONE DISAGREES WITH HIS PASTOR HE MAKES HIMSELF A PASTOR AND BUILDS HIS OWN CHURCH OR FELLOWSHIP. HA, HA, HA...

CONCERNING THE HOLY SPIRIT AS THE INTERPRETER OF THE SCRIPTURE THAT IS A CATHOLIC DOCTRINE NOT YOURS. THE TOPIC UNDER WHICH YOUR ARTICLES WERE TAKEN THE TITLE READS:

III. THE HOLY SPIRIT, INTERPRETER OF SCRIPTURE

CCC#109 In Sacred Scripture, GOD speaks to man in a human way. To interpret Scripture correctly, the reader must be attentive to what the human authors truly wanted to affirm, and to what God wanted to reveal to us by their words.

CCC#110 In order to discover the sacred authors' intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their time and culture, the literary genres in use at that time, and the modes of feeling, speaking and narrating then current. "For the fact is that truth is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical texts, and in other forms of literary expression."

CCC#111 But since Sacred Scripture is inspired, there is another and no less important principle of correct interpretation, without which Scripture would remain a dead letter. "Sacred Scripture must be read and interpreted in the light of the same Spirit by whom it was written."

SEE CCC#111: "SACRED SCRIPTURE MUST BE READ AND INTERPRETED IN THE LIGHT OF THE SAME SPIRIT BY WHOM IT WAS WRITTEN."

YOU SEE, THE CATHOLIC DOCTRINE IS BIBLICAL! HE, HE, HE...

A HARVARD UNIVERSITY VALEDICTORIAN WILL BECOME A DOMINICAN SISTER

St. Dominic - the founder of the Dominican Order

New York City, N.Y., August 26 (CNA) .- A recent Harvard valedictorian who intends to become a Dominican sister says that the Catholic Church has promoted the well-being of women throughout its existence. Discussing how she discerned her vocation, she reports that the elite campus has a "very active" Catholic presence.

A native of Queens, New York, Mary Anne Marks is an alumna of Manhattan's Dominican Academy. Graduating from Harvard University in 2010 with an undergraduate degree in classics and English, she delivered a valedictory address to her graduating class in Latin.

Speaking in an interview with Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review Online (NRO), Marks discussed her intention to join the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

She told Lopez that she felt privileged to be a visible representative of the Catholic Church because it is "an organization of sinners and sinners-turned-saints, emphatically alive, expanding, and responsive to the needs of the time." The Church, she said, has been "enormously effective in promoting the spiritual and material well-being of women and men throughout the 2,000 years of its existence."

Marks credited the Church's teachings about human equality and Catholic reverence for Mary as the Mother of God for elevating the status of women. The Church's "unequivocal opposition" to abortion and contraception make the Church "a lone voice above the chaos, promoting women's dignity and happiness," she told NRO.

Noting the need for women religious to witness to "supernatural realities" through their lives, she told how she committed herself entirely to her vocation during a trip to Lourdes before eighth grade.

"I had lived a double life, drawn on the one hand to immerse myself in the beauty of my faith, on the other to imitate the less than edifying dress, speech, and behavior of my classmates," she commented.

At Lourdes Marks was filled with a yearning to love God "at all times in everything I did."

"Freed from the need to conform to others' standards and willing to make Love the ruling principle of my life, I could speak unashamedly and sincerely of my desire to become a sister."

She said she was discerning with the Ann Arbor Dominicans because they are "on fire to spread the witness of faithful religious life."

"They combine love for the monastic traditions of the Dominican order passed down since the thirteenth century with a zeal for Pope John Paul II's new evangelization and for the challenges of today," Marks commented. "Their particular devotion to Mary and to Christ's Eucharistic presence is evident in the community's name."

Asked how she pursued a spiritual life at Harvard, Marks replied: "Only the grace of a religious vocation gave me the insight and willpower to carve out a part of each day for prayer."

She reported that Harvard's strong Knights of Columbus group, its "very active" Catholic Student Association, and men's and women's nearby Opus Dei houses are complements to the two parish churches within walking distance of the campus.

Harvard faculty expressed "many positive responses" to her plans. Some had siblings in the religious life, while one suggested that academics could appreciate a life of contemplation. Classmates were generally happy to learn of her plans and some also began deeply personal discussions with her about unbelief and Catholic sexual ethics.

Marks is not the only recent Harvard graduate to pursue a religious vocation in the Church. She told NRO's Lopez that a young man who finished Harvard in three years entered the seminary several years ago, while before him a woman joined the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal. One of Marks' friends who pursued a degree at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government joined the Religious Sisters of Mercy, while on July 25 two Harvard men joined the Eastern Province of the Dominicans.

Marks wants to become a teacher because she has always been "exhilarated" by the prospect of giving to children "the solid grounding in their faith that I never received in school."

She advised young women considering a vocation to spend time each day in conversation with Jesus, especially before the Blessed Sacrament.

"You can't know what He desires for you if the two of you aren't good friends. Ask Him and His mother for guidance."

"When Love asks you to be His spouse, you don't quibble about the when and where … anything worthwhile in life requires an ongoing, freely willed surrender of one's freedom," she told NRO's Lopez.

Salesians in Pakistan assisting 150,000 impacted by flooding

St. John Bosco, the saint who served the poor boys by providing them Christian Education, shelter and job opportunities

Madrid, Spain, August 25 (CNA) .- The press office for the Salesians reported this week that the congregation is helping more than 150,000 people in Pakistan affected by the severe flooding that has already taken the lives of 1,500. An additional 20 million Pakistanis are suffering from shortages of drinking water and food.

Fr. Peter Zago, director of the Salesian operations in the city of Quetta, recently told Vatican Radio that while they have been able to assist many families, international aid still has not been able to reach the area. "This morning we received around 100 families and gave them what is essential for at least a month: flour and oil, … some beans and medicine." The priest added that several of the children they have seen are "presenting symptoms of cholera and other deceases due to non-treated drinking water."

"Here the U.N. is not yet present," he continued. "We are a private institution at work. We have 80,000 euros ($101,500) and we are the only ones helping around here, looking after the families most in need."

Fr. Zago said he realizes that when the funds run out he will have to stop the humanitarian help.

Disease has also become a problem. "The north of the country has been hit by cholera. To my knowledge there are more than 10,000 who have died of cholera, but no one wants to count them as casualties.

There are "25,000 soldiers, who could easily give a helping hand, but are kept in the Swat valley, to stop the Taliban and therefore there are no personnel to help."

Bishop Joseph Coutts of Faisalabad set aside August 24 as a day of prayer among Catholics for the 1,500 victims and the more than 20 million Pakistanis who have had to evacuate.

ATTY. MARWIL N. LLASOS GREETS CATHOLIC FAITH DEFENDERS [CFD] DAVAO FOR THEIR 33RD ANNIVERSARY

Rabula Gospels Folio 14, The Pentecost - The Holy Spirit descended upon the Holy Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Bro. Marwil N. Llasos said...

I join Rev. Fr. Abraham P. Arganiosa, CRS in felicitating the Catholic Faith Defenders of Davao in their 33rd anniversary.

Truly, 33 is a number replete with Biblical significance. The Lord Jesus completed His earthly life at 33. The CFD is just beginning a new chapter in its history.

Your special day is a moment where you can take stock of the things you have already accomplished. It is also the time when you can thinks of the things that are yet to be done. It is an opportunity to once again chart the course which CFD has to take for the next 33 years. For truly, as St. Francis of Assissi said, "Let us go, for we have done so little."

Truly, whatever contribution we have in the building up of the Body of Christ that is the Church is truly little by world's standards. Our funding is kept to the barest minimum, we don't have publications to boast and we no longer have radio programs to maintain. But, despite all these deprivations, let us ask ourselves: Why are we here still? What makes us go on? The answer is, the GRACE OF GOD. Our littleness has been amply supplied by the abiding grace of Him who cannot be outdone in generosity.

The little things that we do, the little time that we share, the little treasure that we spare - in the eyes of eternity, this little is MUCH, because they have been given with so much love. They have been offered with so much faith. And they have been sacrificed with the hope that they please the Lord we serve.

On the occasion of your 33rd anniversary, I personally, who consider myself an honorary CFD member as I recall my fondest memories of you, extend my warmest congratulations to all of you. Likewise on behalf of Defensores Fidei Foundation, I also wish you all God's blessings for the coming years of toil in the vineyard of the Lord.

I press each and everyone one of you in the loving and maternal heart of our Immaculate Mother.

Onward, Soldiers of Christ!

Charge, Knights of Mary!

Long live, Hammers of Heretics!

Viva Cristo Rey!

Viva la Virgen!

Viva il Papa!

Viva CFD-Davao!

IN DEFENSE OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH VS. A LYING ANTI-CATHOLIC, Part 8 The Magisterium Tasked to Interpret the Word of God

Fr. Abe, CRS said...

[Catechism

9. The Magisterium alone has the ability and the right to interpret the Scripture [85, 100, 939]]

CCC#85 "The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED TO THE LIVING TEACHING OFFICE OF THE CHURCH ALONE. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ."47 This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to THE BISHOPS in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.

WELL, YOU HAVE COMMITTED ANOTHER LIE AGAIN. LOOK AT YOUR CLAIM: "The Magisterium alone has the ability and the right to interpret the Scripture". AND LOOK AGAIN, IN CCC#85. THERE IS NO SUCH STATEMENT THEREIN.

IT IS NOWHERE STATED THERE THAT THE MAGISTERIUM ALONE "HAS THE ABILITY AND THE RIGHT" TO INTERPRET SCRIPTURE. RATHER, THE CCC STATES THAT THE TEACHING OFFICE OF THE CHURCH ALONE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE TASK TO INTERPRET SCRIPTURES.

YOUR FORMULATION MAKES IT APPEAR AS IF THE MAGISTERIUM CLAIMS TO HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE POWER. BUT OUR CCC DOES NOT SAY THAT. IT SAYS THAT THE TEACHING OFFICE OF THE CHURCH: THE APOSTLES, WHICH WERE THE BISHOPS OF THE CHURCH, WERE GIVEN THE DUTY TO INTERPRET THE SCRIPTURES AND THE FAITH. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY SACRED SCRIPTURES BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS CATEGORICAL IN SAYING THAT NOT ALL ARE PROPHETS, NOT ALL ARE APOSTLES AND NOT ALL ARE TEACHERS IN THE CHURCH:

1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

1 Corinthians 12:28 And GOD HATH SET SOME in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

YOU SEE, GOD HATH SET SOME APOSTLES, PROPHETS, TEACHERS... IT DIDN'T SAY: "ALL ARE APOSTLES, ALL ARE PROPHETS, ALL ARE TEACHERS?" NO, NO, NO...

YOUR POSITION IS UNBIBLICAL AND DEMONIC.

1 Corinthians 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

DEFINITELY NOT.

1 Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

DEFINITELY NOT.

[Bible

-Every Christian, aided by the Holy Spirit, has Ability and the right to interpret the Scripture (Acts 17:11; 1 Corinthians 2:12-16) ]

HE, HE, HE... LET US CHECK AGAIN YOUR VERSES:

Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

IT IS NOWHERE STATED HERE THAT: "Every Christian, aided by the Holy Spirit, has Ability and the right to interpret the Scripture". NOTHING OF THAT SORT. O HO, HO, HO... YOU ARE LYING TO US.

ACTUALLY, IF YOU WILL JUST RAISE YOUR EYES ONE VERSE EARLIER YOU WILL FIND THAT ST. PAUL AND ST. SILAS TO GUIDE THE BEREANS:

Act 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

THUS, THE SCRIPTURE STUDIES MADE BY BEREANS IN ACT 17:11 ARE NOT DONE INDEPENDENTLY BY EACH BEREANS. THEY WERE GUIDED BY ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE AND ST. SILAS [St. Silvanus in Latin] ONE OF THE BISHOPS OF THE EARLY CHURCH.

1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

IT IS ONCE AGAIN NOWHERE STATED BY ST. PAUL THAT EVERY CHRISTIAN HAS THE RIGHT AND THE ABILITY TO INTERPRET SCRIPTURES. THERE IS NO STATEMENT OF THAT SORT IN THE VERSE.

THE FACT THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES THE CHRISTIANS IN THEIR READING OF THE SCRIPTURES DOES NOT REMOVE THE NECESSITY OF THE TEACHERS OF THE FAITH TO PERSONALLY AND PRACTICALLY GUIDE THE FAITHFUL. THE GRACE OF THE SPIRIT ALSO OPERATES THROUGH THE TEACHERS OF THE CHURCH PROPERLY DELEGATED WITH AUTHORITY TO TEACH:

2 Timothy 1:13-14 Hold firmly to the true words that I TAUGHT YOU, as the example for you to follow, and remain in the faith and love that are ours in union with Christ Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, who lives in us, keep the good things that have been entrusted to you. [Good News Bible]

A CHRISTIAN MUST HOLD FAST TO THE TEACHING HANDED HIM BY THE APOSTLES AND THOSE WHO WHO RECEIVED AUTHORITY FROM THE APOSTLES. AND THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH, THE BISHOPS, MUST PRESERVE THE APOSTOLIC FAITH ENTRUSTED TO THEM. THEY MUST KEEP THE ONE FAITH AND ONE CHURCH... NOT INVENT ANOTHER RELIGION AS MANALO, SORIANO AND THE BORN AGAIN DID.

IF ALL CHRISTIANS ARE TEACHERS OF THE FAITH THEN EVERY BODY WILL BECOME PASTORS. NO, NO, NO... JESUS DIDN'T MAKE EVERY FOLLOWER AN APOSTLE AND THE APOSTLES DIDN'T ORDAIN ALL BAPTIZED MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH BISHOP OR PRESBYTER:

2 Timothy 2:2 Take the teachings that you heard me proclaim in the presence of many witnesses, and entrust them to reliable people, who will be able TO TEACH OTHERS ALSO. [Good News Bible]
