1. There is only one evangelization. What is evangelization? It teaches the way that leads to eternal life as taught by Christ. Its formula is found in the Apostolic Commission given by Christ to His Apostles and can be found in the last chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew. There is only one way of evangelizing. Any other way will not work.
There is only one way of evangelization. But like food, it is given to the people according to their abilities. In the form of milk for babies, mush solids for toddlers and solid meat for adolescents. In the same way, God evangelized the human race according to the three stages of their human development; age of the Old Testament, age of the New Testament and eschatological age.
2. The first stage of evangelization.
The first stage of evangelization is when God the Father sent prophets to a select group called the Chosen people representing the early Church. The prophets, like John the Baptist preached a set of commands containing the sins man must avoid. The people listened and kept the list of sins in their minds. The mind, then, communicates with the free will to convince it to consent to avoid what it knows. The free will consents to avoid the evil and informs the intellect accordingly. Having received the free will’s consent the intellect now makes an assent to the consent of the free will. And the intellect acts by avoiding the sins learned from the commandments of God.
This is the first stage of evangelization; it consists in avoiding sins as listed in the 10 commandments. It is the ‘Life of Repentance.’ This is evangelization; but it is incomplete and not sufficient for salvation. The Fathers of the Old Testament who died in this state had to wait in Limbo because of their incomplete training. It is from Limbo that Christ picked them up after His Resurrection to bring them to heaven.
Note that there was a prophet who preached the Word of God to the minds of the Chosen people. The mind informed the will to detest sins. The will consented and informed the intellect about it. And the intellect receiving the consent of the will makes its own assent which makes the person make the Act of Repentance.
This Act of Repentance is what was often forgotten and eventually omitted during the 2012 Bishop’s Synod making it impossible for all Catholics to repent and be evangelized.
3. The second stage of evangelization.
Since man had progressed in his development, he is now capable of higher learning. So God the Son introduced the second stage of evangelization. It is still the same but Jesus Christ added the commands of the New Testament to the commands of the Old Testament. But the procedure is the same. There is still a preacher, like the first prophets. The preacher, Christ and eventually the apostles, preached the Word of God combining the commands of the Old Testament of avoiding evil; with the commands of the New Testament to do good.
This was directed to the hearing of the listeners, the Jewish people at the time of Christ. The listeners will record the Words in their mind will have to inform the free will of these two commands, to avoid evil and do good. The will must consent to avoiding evil and to do good. When the will consents it will, in turn, inform the intellect about its consent. The intellect will respond to the consent by assenting to the learned commands. Finally, the intellect will give the ‘signal’ for the soul to act by obeying the commands. And this is Faith; an improvement from the life of repentance from the Old Testament. With Faith, the soul enters into the realm of the New Testament.
Because the Bishop’s Synod of 2012 omitted the first stage Old Testament evangelization, they could neither learn nor do the second stage New Testament evangelization. So we have a Catholic Church which is neither Old nor New Testament Church. What we have is a pagan church.
4. The third and final stage of evangelization.
Evangelization during the eschatological age is identical with the previous evangelization. The eschatological age is now! Though everything else is identical with the previous evangelization, a slight difference must be kept in mind. Now, i.e. as we approach the General Judgment Day, there will be no purgatory, that place of purification for imperfect souls. So its either heaven or hell. So there must be some finality in the process of evangelization. Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI described it as ‘new’ evangelization. It is the same evangelization but we must pass all test by hook or by crook.
The third and final stage of evangelization is destined for the future and cannot be described in Sacred Scriptures. Scriptures ended with St. John. The Fathers of the Church ended around the 7th century. We still have occasionally Doctors of the Church but it is becoming rarer and rarer. In fact, they are almost gone. So we cannot read this third stage of evangelization anywhere except in the form of type or figures in the Gospel. And this is precisely described in the Gospel of the 4th Sunday of Advent.
5. The third and final stage of evangelization in Mary and Elizabeth.
Mary went to Elizabeth and greets her. As Elizabeth heard Mary’s greetings, the child in her womb leapt. And the child cause her mother to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
We have just described the classical evangelization. Like the above we have a preacher, Mary. We have a listener, Elizabeth who received the greeting of Mary in her mind. The Greeting in her mind is sent to the free will, personified by the baby John who leapt with joy thus showing his consent. And upon experiencing the consent and joy of the will the intellect, personified by Elizabeth was filled with grace because of the assent of her mind to the truth before her. Confronted by Mary with the Infant Jesus in her womb, Elizabeth responded with an act of Faith inspired by John in her womb.
There is absolutely no difference between the three different stages. They are identically describing the Act of Faith that is the result of proper evangelization.
6. Let us go into detail in describing the Gospel showing why it is the ‘new’ evangelization of John Paul II and Benedict.
First; there is a preacher. Here the preacher is Mary, the personification of the Catholic Church, and she is with the child Jesus in her womb. The preacher must be the entire Catholic Church that is already united with the humanity of Christ which is the first degree in being inside the Church. The entire community must have all the visible signs of the true Church of Christ; either the four visible signs enumerated in the Nicene Creed or the 15 Marks of the Church described by St. Robert Bellarmine in in ‘de controversiis.’
No. The evangelist must not be one person. It must be the entire community. When St. Augustine evangelized England, he brought with him a whole community. When St. Boniface evangelized Germany he preached together with an entire community. In fact, all of them were martyred.
Here the whole community is preaching the truths of the Catholic Church. It does not consist in the community preaching but in showing their way of life to others. While the others learn, not from an individual, but from the entire community. Remember that the lesson of ‘Love of neighbor’ can only be taught by a community; and not by an individual. “See, how they love one another.” The pagans wouldn’t say that unless they are beholding an entire community. They would not say that if they only see one person preaching.
Mary with child, therefore, personifies the whole Catholic Church that had entered the Catholic Church and are in the degree of being united with the humanity of Christ.
Secondly; Mary preached to Elizabeth who was not in the city. She was in the mountains. Just as the listeners of John went to the desert to listen to him, Elizabeth was in the mountains awaiting the Word of God who would go to her. The Catholic community, personified by Mary with Child goes to preach only to those in the mountain, separated from worldly pleasures thus have hearts, personified by John, that are not attached to worldly things, but only to the Word of God.
Thirdly; Mary utters words. Elizabeth listens to the words and treasures them in her heart, personified by John. While John recognizes the treasures and rejoices at it. John’s consent to the word enable Elizabeth to be filled with grace that will enable her to assent with her mind.
Fourthly; Elizabeth’s will, personified by John and Elizabeths intellect, personified by Elizabeth, join together to cause an act of Faith……Elizabeth believed that Mary was the mother of God and that the child in her womb is God. Elizabeth believed that she was face to face with the true Catholic Church. This is the ‘new’ evangelization that John Paul II and Benedict were talking about. It is the only evangelization that will work in these days described by the Sundays of Advent when the Sun, the moon and the stars will lose its light thus bringing total darkness in the world. A darkness where almost all know nothing about the truths; and the few who know the truth are living lives of unceasing prayer.
