  1. Is it being done out of ignorance or intentionally?
      What is going on is hard to understand.   But it looks like it is beingdone very thoroughly and intentionally.  What must one do in his attempt to destroy the Catholic Church. 

  2.  His FIRST MOVE  must be directed towards Catholics who are not really Catholic but who do not know it,  due to ignorance of their catechism.   Since they are still outside the Church, he will prevent them from entering the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church,  by teaching that the true Church had collapsed. To prove it he will tear down the doctrine on the three main structures of the Catholic Church, the theological virtues. And he will say; ‘see, the church is no more. So we have to construct a new one.’
     Of course, all of these  are just in his imagination.
     It will be easy for him to do this because he and his co-horts do not really have the three structures of the Church, they not being real Catholics. 
     He will nullify the ancient process of evangelisation by dumping the Apostolic Commission Christ gave the apostles as described at the last chapter of Matthew’s Gospel. Then he will introduce a new way of entering the church that is similar to entering a dance hall and call it ‘evangelii gaudium.’ Nice shell but empty of contents. 
       The directions given in ‘Evangelii Gaudium’ is  an entirely new road map, new street names and new address leading towards a Protestant neighbourhood. 

   3. SECOND MOVE. The first move had frozen every one in their status quo.  Because everyone have lost their address of the Church (lost the four visible signs of the Church and how to enter the Church through repentance, Faith, Hope and Charity) so no one is moving. Everyone is in the state of  static infidelity, as Blessed John Newman described the present age.
       
        a.) Everyone is frozen; adulterers in their adultery, Protestants in their Protestantism, Atheist in their atheism, gay in being gay, transvestites in their being transvestites, pagans in their being pagans. And the destroyer will now worsen their situation by encouraging them to unworthily receive Holy Communion. 
         b ). Religious orders that are no longer Catholic because they do not have the four visible signs and have lost the spirit of their original founders continue to have Mass and receive Holy Communion in the deplorable state of their souls thus become worse. 
          c.) Secular institutes, like the Opus Dei and Catechumenate, because their knowledge  of doctrine and morals were never perfected, begun to deteriorate when they lost their founder. While other groups, because they were founded by mere laymen, also, because they never developed a perfect Faith, deteriorated keeping in mind; ‘he who does not progress…. regresses.’ 
     This, also, were open to getting worse because of the prevailing confusion in the Church. Here, also, are included the parishes and dioceses with their respective parish priest and bishops whose spiritual state became worse due to erratic Papal exhortations.  
         d.) Bishops were organised into Synods so they can cut themselves away from the main head and become independent which will make them loss their Unity, thus losing the visible Mark of the Church. With this lost they ceased to be the True Church. 
          e.)The destruction of the family at the Bishop Synod’s of 2015. With this, parent became incapable of training their children to sanctity. So no decent soul was entering seminaries or religious orders;  Catholic organisations became purely social inter-personal meetings. 
          f.) to ascertain that these stagnant groups do not move forward and progress, the office of the Curia were filled with thugs to use strong arms tactic to discourage any one who tried to be holy. 

     With these acts of destruction,  nobody was entering the Catholic Church.  Nobody could enter the Church because nobody knew where was the Church and where was the door. Or as Hilaire Belloc wrote; they did not know the number of house, nor the name of the street. Such people as described above had no possibility of salvation because they did not know where  the Church was and they did not know where  the door of the Church was and how to enter the door.


4. THIRD MOVE   CONFUSE THOSE  tending to  THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
     In the first and second move, we saw how the destroyer is able to completely prevent those who are outside the Church to enter the true Church. The next target of the destroyer are those who are still outside the Church but are progressing towards the true Church. They are not quite inside but they are in the right direction.
     The destroyer will try to confuse them or distract them so they will lose the right direction.
     These who are in the right direction will take only a short while and they will certainly enter the Catholic Church and acquire the four visible Marks of the Church described in the Nicene Creed. Who are these?
     a. Those in the right direction leading  to the Catholic Church are; the Society of Pius X, the Orthodox, the Coptics, the Anglican High Church, etc.
         Also, at the eye sight of the destroyer, are nations who do not have the three theological virtues yet but who have simple Faith; like Mexico, Poland, Japan, Korea and the  Philippines. They are being targeted with Papal visits and their Bishop’s conference are being pressured to join the heresy of the hermeneutic of discontinuity that holds that the Apostolic Church had  discontinued and, therefore, the new church is the new Protestant Church made by the Gaelen Mafia and assembled in Argentina.  
     The International Eucharistic Congress in Cebu is an example. A seemingly Catholic nation holds a Eucharistic Congress in Cebu and the main speakers are known in the world for not believing in the transubstantiation of the Sacred Species. Their workshop was directed towards the complete destruction of the Liturgy of the Mass presented  to Pope Francis for approval by the now famous Pope Francis clones.
     b. The next target of the destroyer are those attempting to return to the spirit of their founders; because all orders have betrayed the spirit of their founders. They are no longer as their founders meant them to be. 
          Some of these recall how the Church looked like during the time of their founders. They recall where the door was and how to enter the door.  
          They only lack the wedding garment necessary to attend the banquet. They are  in the right direction, like the Franciscans of Fr Manelli. They were still far from approaching the Church’s door being a new order but they are very well on the right way. They just needed time to finish the ‘following of Christ’ and some peace necessary to accomplish this. Peace??? The destroyer knows he must take away their peace.
        Those going in the right direction should be stopped. Commissars are sent to suppress them, disband them, forbid them from doing the right things.  Somebody certainly does not want them to go to heaven and the suppressive measures are unbelievable. But since God does not sleep, the Commissar died but another immediately replaced him to continue the suppression in  their attempts to be holy.
     Good bishops, also,  who clearly lead others to the truth will be fired or demoted or  silenced, like Cardinals Burke and Muller.

5. The FOURTH MOVE of the destroyer.  The real and ultimate target of the destroyer is the new monastic community described by St. Bonaventure and repeated by Pope Benedict. It is the sole product of the ‘new’ evangelisation of Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI.’ It is not the popular new evangelisation acclaimed world wide. 
     The target  is the Apocalyptic Woman who fled to the desert. The Book of Revelation states that the devil will flood the desert to ‘destroy this Woman,’ which is the unique Church of these times. But he will not be able, not even, to touch her. The devil’s flood may harm all the rest but not this Marian Church, described by Pope Paul VI. Because God, Himself, will put the Church in a place specially prepared by Him.

6. ‘Vultum Dei Quaerere’ is a beautiful phrase. It is found in the Psalms. It is the soul’s quest to do God’s Will and attain everlasting life. And Christ left three images to satisfy man’s quest for His face. Each one reflecting the state of one’s soul. One, is the image in the sudarium of Oviedo in Spain. The second is the image in the shroud of Turin, Italy. And the third is the Image of Manopello in a Franciscan convent. These are the images of the true face of Christ. But the quest of the soul is an image meant not for the eyes but for the mind and heart. The sight of it is a sign of predestination of those dedicated to doing the Will of God will all their heart, with all their mind and with all their strength.
     The exhortation ‘Vultum Dei quaerere’ is doing one’s will and inserting them surreptitiously in the way of life of contemplatives. It is the destruction of the activity of Mary sitting at the foot of Christ. It is sitting at the foot of one’s concupiscence and see how it can be called the will of God. It is not even being a Martha who was serving Christ. It is serving adulterers, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, pagan religions, atheists, transgenders, transexuals, sad old men and unemployed youth, pagan immigrants, and one’s passions and concupiscence. Is that serving Jesus Christ? The exhortation is exhorting contemplatives to serve St. Augustine’s City of men which Jesus, Himself said,  was the kingdom of Lucifer. 

7. LAST WORDS 
     This spiritual genocide is not man’s doing. Man simply placed himself  in these situation by his bad dispositions. But  the director of the whole show is God. It is Good Friday, again, as described by St. Bonaventure. Pope Benedict knows this, being his thesis as a young priest. Like St. Peter on that day he must be in hiding. It is Mary and John, the contemplatives who are present in the Passion and, thus,  the target of ‘Vultum Dei Quaerere.’ The message is; ‘Abandon the suffering Christ! Take care of the unemployed and the migrant. And teach the youth at WYD in Poland how to think like transgenders, as planned by the organisers. ‘
     That is no Mary nor is it Martha. It is a return to man in the stark ugliness of his fallen human nature. But this time, there will be no redemption nor salvation…….only the merciless judgment of God. 

8. Archbishop Ganswain, surely influenced by the vast knowledge of Emeritus Pope Benedict, had been speaking. And there is almost total black out on what he is saying. As usual people are afraid of the truth. 
     Considering the influence of Pope Benedict on him, he must be saying very important things pertaining to the present situation in the Church.
    But, of course, he cannot speak freely as we do in the Internet, because of Vatican protocol. He cannot speak openly. So we must read between the lines and find out what are his insinuations.
     Among the many things that he had said, he mentioned, lately,  the Prophecy of Malachi, a pamphlet many had discredited for no valid reason. But as Pascal would wisely say; ‘what if he is right.’ If St. Malachi was right, then the present situation in the Church does not fit the prophecies. 
     Since prophecies can only be understood when it is actually happening we are at an advantage that the  certain prophecies are happening right now, at this very moment. And for the whole situation happening in the Church to fit the grand picture painted by the prophetic sayings, there is only one thing that we can conclude. The destroyer, long awaited by the Catholic Church and whom God will personally throw to hell, is here. 
     He fits, in Malachi’s list, in between Pope Benedict and Peter Romanus. 


    



          

 1. An ominous sign
     What is it?  It is observing actual events. Which cannot be understood.  It enters the mind out of control like a huge wave, slowly ebbing in from nowhere. As if it has a mind of its own. 
    And there is a feeling of evil in the atmosphere like fog setting in. 
     It is like a portrait in 10 Commandments, when a black cloud came down from the sky, slowly hovered at ground level and slowly chose the house of the Egyptians, entered each house and slew all the first born. 
     Then for a moment, the scene showed the sounds of lament amidst the silence of the night as the atmosphere remain covered with a dark ominous cloud. It is something like that.

     Ominous signs, because it cannot be understood, fall under intuition. It is like a mother’s reaction to certain irrational movement in a child that tells her that the child wants milk. While the mother reacts to such intuitions, the husband does not notice it at all. So ominous signs are perceived by some but not by others. 

2.  Something similar to the last US election. 
      The behaviour of the American people was so contrary to US behaviour. A racist nation begun looking up to a black Kenyan with absolutely no background and elects him into office twice. 
     Pictured a Superman and occasionally as the Messiah, Americans flocked to him like flies towards honey; behaving like Zombies or the march of the dead towards the cliff, so uncontrollably.
     They elected him twice though most of their privileges and rights were being taken away from them.  The very President of Russia warned Americans that they were descending to total totalitarianism worst that what Russia underwent. No one heeded Putin. What is going on? Good question. But no one could give an answer because you must know Catholic prophesies, like what happened in Egypt,  to know the answer. Today, we are the Egyptians. We are not the chosen race. 

 3. The greatest attack on the Catholic Church ever in her history with the force of the entire American government. Never seen before. With American foreign policy geared to destroy the Catholic Church everywhere she is, by choosing and changing governments that would precisely destroy the Church. This is obvious everywhere the American government set foot. From Cuba to the Philippines, from Viet Nam to Irag,  from Egypt to Syria. The ultimate target was the destruction of the Catholic Church.  But it is a spiritual attack by spiritual forces of evil.  So, like the dark cloud that night in Egypt, nobody can see it. Definitely not by the press.     

4. The announcement on the new Pope was accompanied by such a feeling.  The delay, the somber entrance and joyless greeting.  Then the seemingly black curtain as if blown by a strong wind that block the whole screen for a few seconds. ‘What was that?’ was the common exclamation. 
     A journalist was bothered by that scenario and many months after (it even seem years after), he wrote a column describing this difficult to understand scene. He asked the readers if they could explain what happened that day. A long list of reply came in; all of them could not explain what was happening but all felt it to be an ominous sign that caused some stomach discomfort.
     I, myself cried out ‘what was that?’ and my companions watching the ‘annuntio gaudium magnum…..’ had the same question.  

     Two years after, news begun coming out about the happenings on that day that raised doubts at the election of Pope Francis focused on the long delay in coming out which was supposed to be the time he was making the Papal oath; which he will completely violate even at the very beginning of his papacy.
       A cursory conversation about  the papal visits and strange feelings by Philippine diplomatic officials raised the question; how come everybody felt a holy presence in the previous Popes, like John Paul II and Benedict XVI but this was totally absent in the presence of Pope Francis? There was a perception of the holiness of the office. But the person of Pope Francis was  like just meeting a screen star. Of course, as usual, it is the women who had the better identical intuition,  the sisters, who are the latest target of Pope Francis’ alteration to serve the City of men.

5.  What is going on?
     Looking today at Pope Francis’ ‘Vultum Dei Quaerere,’ his latest Apostolic exhortation on women religious and looking back at the first day of his papacy, one cannot help thinking that Pope Francis is out to destroy the Catholic Church. All the proofs are from his own words, actions and specially on the persons he appoints to high office and persons he fires or demotes. Further proofs are from the kinds of people he entertains and the people he refuses completely to see.

6.    The destruction of the Catholic Church.
    Here are the actual events that led to that ominous feeling. It all begun with Vatican II. The violent conflict between two groups; one, fighting to keep the Faith with historians enumerating their names, like Ottaviani, and the other who wanted to introduce a completely new church that will, still, be developed impromptu as month progressed, led the modernist and school of Bologna.
     After Vatican II the tension remained but  went underground, like guerrillas, waiting for their opportunity. So everything looked peaceful on the outside of the Church. Even the Liturgy was smooth sailing. Then the iconic lightning that struck St. Peters and the even thunderous stepping down of Pope Benedict. After that, it was Pandora’s box thrown wide open. 

7. The beginning of the infiltration of the beast in the womb of the church. 
   I once saw an illuminated manuscript  with a disturbing picture of a woman with a monster sticking out of her vagina. It was, indeed, a gruesome and disturbing picture. A great mass of excrement adhered to the head of the beast. And it raised itself up upon a mountain and tried to ascend the height of Heaven. The phallic ear of the monster was erect for penetration. It was grotesque. The picture was so disturbingly pornographic. But it was from a religious illuminated manuscript usually used for holy writings. And it was, in fact, a holy book about a holy topic. The woman was the Blessed Virgin Mary, the personification of the Catholic Church.
    With this in mind these events begun to unfold in the Catholic Church.

     It begun with the coming out of the new Pope, Francis. Cardinal Daneels was on his left beaming with victory. It was their time. The Galaen Mafia who could not change the Church during Vatican II, but now have their Pope and now will have their day. It was a proclamation victory picture there in the loggia. 
     Almost immediately Pope Francis tore down the whole structure of the Catholic Church in his first highly published and media praised speech on ‘love without dogmas.’ It was love without any of the three theological virtues. It was a totally unCatholic and unChristian love. It was worst than Freudian ‘Id.’ And nobody, not a bishop, priest or theologian commented on it. A heresy was in the headline and not one member of the Catholic Church made any comment. It showed more the state of the Church than the state of the Pope. Or rather, the Pope was reflecting the state of the Church. Both had neither Faith nor Charity.
     With the three main structures of the Church (the three theological virtues) taken out it was easy to take out the other small pieces. The dogmatic and moral small pieces of matrimony, the real presence in the Host, chastity, celibacy, and suddenly every conceivable sin was allowed with the reason that the Good God will not send anyone to hell. 
     Good priests, good bishops, good religious orders were all thrown at the margins of society while the perverts at the margins were allowed in.  The Curia was reformed alright. Weird people like erotic buddhist, experts in kissing, samba bishops, and pure heretics were placed in high places. The second to the last good bishops, Muller,  was just taken away from the CDF and the last good bishop in the Curia, Sarah,  had his hands tied. Schonborn, chairman of the Vatican II catechism filled with errors and Madariaga, the samba bishop now hold top curial offices. The Curia had become, completely,  the house of those who wanted to change the Church of Christ into a church of the world and according to one’s caprice. 
     The nuns in the bus are entertained and the nuns in the contemplative convents were told to serve the world whose prince is Lucifer. And the Curia have set their eyes on someone who will see to it that this change is permanent and that there is no returning to the Church of Christ and the apostles…….the cardinal from the Philippines. Should I take that as a compliment?
     The dismantling of all the small pieces of the Catholic Church continuous; and because they are small pieces nobody is noticing it.  The Liturgy and the celebration of the Sacraments had been so changed that it seems they don’t work. Even the Exorcists think that the new formula of exorcism is laughed at by the devils. 
     Groups who have some semblance of Catholicity, like the Lefebreve and the Orthodox Church, are being invited to be suck into this whirlpool of insanity while solidly Catholic communities are being suppressed by Vatican Commissars. 
     From Pope Francis down to many Cardinals, bishops and priests…….they have become that sexual monster that attacked the sexual organ of the woman, the Catholic Church, in a posture of penetrating her vagina to produce sexual subversive and criminal foetuses in the very heart and womb of Mother Church herself. As the illustrated manuscript shows, the monster is sticking out of the sexual organ for all to see; that is why we can describe it above. 

8. What is this ominous sign? This pornographic picture !
     It is the vision of a saintly Benedictine nun of the 11th century, praised by Pope John Paul II and raised by Pope Benedict as a doctor of the Church. It was her vision of the violent hybridized rape of the Catholic Church  by her own Ecclesiastical ministers with their vile lust and shameful blasphemy infused by the long awaited anti-christ.
     St Hildegard described this beast as attached to the very centre of the Church, inside her, taking over her womb thus corrupting her mission of saving souls and producing countless corrupt offsprings, the fruit of its rape. 
     And this all present, pornographic ominous sign is all around today. 
   

 1. The Liturgy of the Mass.
     It is through the Liturgy that Holy Mother the Church teaches us the complete teachings of Jesus Christ. Every Sunday, from Advent up to Christ the King, all the truths of Divine Revelation are taught to us in the Liturgy, gradually, from what is easy going on to the more difficult teachings and instruction is complete by the Feast of Christ the King. In one LiturgicalYear, either A, B or C, any Catholic can learn the complete teachings of Christ……in summary form. 
     As we go to the next cycle, though the Gospels are almost identical, there should be a deeper understanding of the teachings of Christ. And as we go through many years, one’s knowledge should really go deeper. There is no end to how deep we can understand the teachings of Christ considering the fact that these are eternal truths. So there is no end to understanding them.

     A great help, of course, is the priest celebrating Mass. Though he is only a mouth piece of the real Priest, Jesus Christ, it is a great help if he can teach the truths as intended by Holy Mother the Church. Teaching them gradually, in proper order and showing the continuity between each Gospel. Ideally, he should be able to start teaching with the simplest truth then go forever deeper and deeper in teaching that parish. If he does this, a stay of three years could transform the parish into a community with the four visible marks of the true Catholic Church as enumerated in the Nicene Creed. 
     As of now, it would be very rare to find a Parish or Diocese with the four visible signs of the Catholic Church. Why? Catechesis is very defective. Parishes and Dioceses are not producing Catholics. 

2. Martha and Mary and the art of praying.
     Last Sunday we saw two sisters representing two ways of lives; the active life with Martha as a type. And the contemplative life with Mary as its type. Both of them have Faith, Hope and Charity. Except Martha’s was imperfect; while Mary was near perfect (because perfection can only be attained in heaven.)
     The Gospel on Martha and Mary is a continuation of ‘love of neighbour.’ Both of them loved their neighbour. Martha in an imperfect way while Mary in a more perfect way. Their way of life is the proof of the level of their love of neighbour. 
     Since both of them have the theological virtues, both of them were praying. The Gospel of the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time describes how Mary was praying; what was she really doing as she sat at the feet of Christ?  She was praying contemplatively. How do you do that? St. Teresa of Avila, who is a saint who have reached the heights of prayer with St. John of the Cross wrote; ‘contemplative prayer is praying the Our Father every second. And putting the words into practice every second.’ Sounds simple. Well, everything in the Catholic Religion sounds simple but  quite difficult to put into practice.

3. ‘Teach us how to pray.’
     The apostles were being introduced by Christ into a very new way of life based and very new doctrines. They saw the need to learn, also, a new way of praying quite different from the way they prayed in the Old Testament. So they asked Christ how is this new way of praying. How can they pray so that God will hear them and respond to their prayer? Christ said; ‘when you pray say……’

4.  The Lord’s prayer.
     The ‘Our Father’ as written by St. Matthew had seven petitions. St. Luke enumerates five petitions. The explanation of both is identical. St. Luke just compressed them into five but discussed it completely as St. Matthew did. The explanation of both Evangelist can be found in the explanation of the Fathers of the Church, like St. Augustine and Origen;  and later on by St. Thomas of Aquinas and Pope Benedict. 
     The ‘Our Father’ shows the seven steps of spirituality.  In the ascending order, it begins with the seventh step ‘But deliver us from evil.’ And goes up to the first step which is ‘Our Father.’ So the first step in the spiritual life is to avoid all evil thus ‘deliver us from evil.’ Then the final goal is that we become children of God thus we can call Him ‘Our Father.’  Obviously, we cannot call God ‘Our Father’ as long as we are still sinners. Each step follows one another. The second follows the first, the seventh follows the sixth. We cannot skip.

5. ‘And subject us not to the trial.’
     This is the last petition of the ‘Our Father.’ It is the first thing that we pray for as a sinner. We pray that first; God help us to stop sinning, since we cannot stop sinning without the help of grace. But then, God still continues to put us under test. These test are, intentionally, given to us by God as part of our training. Sometimes these test comes in the form of temptations. In this part of the prayer we ask God to help us pass our test or come out of our test victorious. Thus we are asking God to take us away from evil, from our enemies and from sin. 
     If God grants us this request in prayer, then we are well on the way to God and we shall not fear the devil.

6. ‘For we, too, forgive all who do us wrong.’
     Since in the next ascending petition we shall be asking for the forgiveness of sin, before God forgive us our sin we must first forgive those who sin against us.
     Remember that our final goal is to receive God which symbolically is to receive the Holy Eucharist. Sometimes, we commit sin and are unable to receive Holy Communion. What can we do if there is no confession available and we want to receive Communion? Forgive all those who have offended you. This way God will forgive you your sins. Thus cleansed from your sin you can receive Holy Communion.
     
     Only after doing ‘good works’ can we implore the remission of our own sins. Since the just man sin 7 times 7 a day no one is  free from sin in a day. This, however, should not prevent us from receiving Holy Communion. St. Thomas of Aquinas wrote; ‘the goodness of God takes away the severe punishment of sin if we forgive our debtors, those who injure us and have not restored what was due. 
     ‘As we, also forgive everyone that is indebted to us, we want God to imitate us by sharing to us the kindness we show our debtors.’ This is the spirit of this portion of the prayer. ‘Forgiving our debtors is the greatest cause of our greatest pardon. 
     We have few debtors. While we owe God very much. If God demands a little of what we owe we would perish. Yet He promises to forgive our many debts if we forgive the little debts of our debtors. This is the easiest and fastest way of having our sins forgiven. Most of us do not have the leisure of going to confession for the forgiveness of our sins. By the very words of Christ; forgiving our debtors as mentioned in the ‘Our Father’ is a very good substitute. Just be sure you forgive all your debtors permanently. 

7. ‘Forgive us our sins.’
     This petition is for the removal of evil of guilt. Sins are debts . When we sin we owe God, thus we must pay back. If we have gotten something unjustly since it is not ours we are bound to restitution; we must return what we have taken. 
     Our will belongs to God so it must be used according to His Will.  When we violate God’s Will we have taken away from God something that belong to Him. So we must return it. How do we do that? By enduring something against our own will or by doing God’s Will. This way we are absolved; our guilt is forgiven, St. Thomas wrote. 
     So living a life of self-denial (deny thyself) and living a life according to God’s Will is an act of restitution for our sins. And one of God’s Will is for us to forgive those who have sinned against us. 

8. ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’
     This bread is the bread for the mind and the heart. It is knowledge, wisdom and strength. It is the Bread of the Eucharist that we should eat daily. We are not supposed to eat This Bread every time we recite the Our Father. In the Eastern Rite Communion is only once a week. In monasteries in the olden times, Communion was only once a year due to the lack of priests and since monasteries are in far flung places inaccessible to most priests. So Holy Communion or the daily bread is received spiritually often described as ‘spiritual communion.’ Many spiritual writers had shown the advantages of this practice over sacramental communion. Well, for one thing, it can be done any time and as often as one wants to do it. 
      While the soul must be sinless before he can receive Sacramental Holy Communion it is not the case when making ‘spiritual Communions.’  

9.  ‘Our Father, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come.’ 
   In  ascending order, this is the goal of the prayer. Both Luke and Matthew described this as the final goal of spirituality which we should pray for. This is the first petition which cannot be attained without all the previous petitions. 
     We can only call God ‘Our Father’ if we have no present sins, if we forgive our enemies, if we have our past sins forgiven,  and if we have received the kingdom of God.

     Before we can address  God ‘Our Father’ we have to abandon all earthly concerns and rise up to the spiritual level because God is there. Though He is every where He is present in a unique way in the supernatural level. We cannot rise up there without the grace of God. We need the grace of God to be able to ask and to be able to do the seven petitions of the ‘Our Father’ (five petitions in St. Luke.)
     So we pray to be able to rise up to heaven and address the Father who is in heaven. Again, at this point, all worldly concerns must be set aside. Other wise we will not be able to rise; thus the emphasis that “He is in heaven.”
     ‘He is in Heaven’ where there is no evil (evils are in the earth.) In heaven everything is hallowed (holy) like God’s name. Heaven is, also, God’s kingdom where God’s Will is followed. Thus we continue our prayer that that kingdom of God may come to us; i.e. that we, also, be like the creatures in heaven completely subject to God’s Will even though we are still on earth. Thus, ‘Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.’

Conclusion.
     Many have commented on ‘Amoris Laetitia.’ Evidently the exhortation is an encouragement to sin for couples. It is not an exhortation to obey a command that everybody can easily obey with the availability of God’s grace. 
     Pope Francis is in a haste to spread its errors throughout the Catholic world. He had commanded bishop’s conferences to rush in implementing it. The Philippine Bishop’s conference with its President, Bishop Villegas, is pushing its immediate implementation though most bishops have not read it and some bishops had mentioned that they have not discussed its unclear aspects. 
     Cardinal Muller of the CDF, staunch defender to the Doctrines of the Faith had just been fired for saying that the ghost writer of ‘Amoris Laetitia’ and consequently Pope Francis who believe  so much in him have heretical ideas. 
     Cardinal Sarah, another staunch defender of true doctrine had been slapped into silence when his recent instruction on saying Mass ‘Ad Orientem’ was contradicted by Pope Francis. Add to this the additional appointments in the Curia, Schonborn and Madariaga, both known for heretical beliefs……..it seems that destruction of the Church of Christ as we know it, is in full swing with the introduction of the Argentine new religion of tolerance of sin and ‘just do it’ morality. 
      As a result of the exhortation, couples are emboldened to commit the sin of adultery, sex perverts are encouraged to continue as they are, pagans and Protestants have become respectable in their errors, etc. People are encouraged to remain in their sin while the Pope down to the Bishops and priests are encouraged to spread scandals which is a more grievous sin than adultery and perversion.
     Today, people do not want to be delivered from evil. Modernism, that was born with the Fall of Bastille, teaches man’s right to do what he wants, when the very act in itself of doing what you want is a sin (my will and not God’s Will). 
    How can they call God ‘Our Father’ when they do not want to be ‘delivered away from evil’ thus will not be able to rise up to be able to call God ‘Our Father.’ No way can they rise up to call God their ‘Father.’ And all these people, specially from the Pope, down to the Cardinals, like Kasper, and down to the priests are reciting the ‘Our Father’ in their Masses. Their father is Luc****. The seven petitions they recite in the ‘Our Father’ become  lies. And their Mass is hypocrisy.  Implement ‘Amoris Laetitia’ and see if you can recite the ‘Our Father’ and mean every word as described above by St. Augustine and St. Thomas of Aquinas.  Who are they?  

     
     
     

 1. The Gospel.
     The Liturgy of the Mass teaches us the truths of the Catholic Church gradually and in order. The Liturgy of Holy Week cannot be understood unless we first understand the Liturgy of Advent. And today’s Gospel on Mary and Martha cannot be understood unless we understand the earlier five Gospels.
     The last five Gospels dealt with ‘Love of Neighbour.’ For five Sundays the Church had been teaching ‘Love of Neighbour.’ In fact, the Liturgy had been dealing on this topic since ‘Corpus Christi.’ And with good reason, because today nobody seems even to know how to describe what it means to ‘love one’s neighbour.’ Ok. Christ prophesied that this was going to happen today. And, indeed, it is happening. Why? Because to love your neighbour you must first learn how to love God. And only after you have learned how to love God can you your neighbour.   Nobody or very few love  God, because few  know God.  As a consequence there can be no love of neighbour. 
     What is distressing is that, in between love of God and love of neighbour, there should be a right love for oneself since we should be loving our neighbour as much as we love ourselves.  Only after there is love of God and proper love of self (as defined by St. Augustine) then and only then can there be love of neighbour.
     Without love of God, there can be no proper love of self. Without proper love of self, there can only be hatred for oneself. And he who hates himself, hates everybody else. Now you know why there is so much hatred and so much killings. The defect is within the minds and the hearts of the hater. He hates himself. 

     The Gospel on Martha and Mary is a further explanation of ‘love of neighbour,’ St. Thomas comments. 

2. The three steps towards perfection and their types.
     To the question; ‘how can I attain everlasting life? Christ gave the answer and it can be reworded by todays Gospel. Again, the three steps that lead to everlasting life is; first, life of repentance. Secondly, a life of hospitality. And thirdly, a life of contemplation. We mentioned the fact that these steps were reworded. The common words used to describe these steps are; Repentance, Faith, Hope and Charity. Since Hope is just the result of Faith it is often excluded in the enumeration. So spiritual writers write; repentance, Faith and Charity. 
     These three steps are represented by three types. Repentance is represented by St. John the Baptist. Hospitality, which is the good works that should accompany Faith is represented by Martha. and contemplation that is perfect Faith enlivened by Charity is represented by Mary. 
     Martha is the beginning of supernatural love of God and neighbour. This is superior to natural love of neighbour, like the natural love parents have for their children, or a friend for a friend. 
     Mary is the perfection of love of God and neighbour. Note that as Christ, Himself said, these two always go together since both are in the supernatural level. 

3. Life of repentance.
     Repentance is the cleaning of the soul. This is the proper disposition before one can receive Faith and Charity, which is the love of God and neighbour. There are three activities during the life of repentance; prayer, fasting and the performance of good works. All of these are in the natural level. 
     St. John the Baptist is the type for repentance. He lived and preached in the desert and he is the personification, also, of the monastic life. Monastic life and repentance are synonymous. Its goal is for the soul to know its sins and repent for them. This prepares the soul for the next step, which is Faith and Charity, which is the love of God and neighbour. Faith and Charity goes together. Faith without Charity is dead. 

     The life of repentance is impossible today because the Church, herself, who is to teach it, is teaching the opposite. The Church, with Pope Francis, is pushing people to sin; like to continue their adultery, to commit sacrilege by receiving Communion in the state of mortal sin, to tolerate and welcome Sodomist, for Protestants and pagans to remain outside the Catholic Church, etc…
     Without repentance, it is impossible to proceed to the next step; the first degree of  love of God and neighbour whose type was Martha. 

4. Martha and the practice of hospitality.
    Since it is impossible to perceive the love of God and neighbour, Scriptures gave us a visible signs of its presence; and this is in the form of hospitality. And the figure presented to us in the first reading is the story of Abraham entertaining two Angels and Christ,  thus three persons. The three appeared as three men.
     Everybody is acquainted with the term ‘hospitality’. We all do it when we entertain our families, relatives, friends and guests. But this hospitality of Martha is a completely different story.
     For one thing Martha, like Abraham, had faith; meaning they had finished their repentance. Abraham was not entertaining friends and relatives. He was showing his hospitality to angels and God. Likewise, Martha was not showing hospitality to friends and relatives. She was hosting Jesus Christ and His apostles. 
     This is the important element of Martha’s story. Her hospitality was an act of Faith. It was been done to God and saints. We can imitate Martha if we, too, show hospitality to Christ and the saints. Since Christ is no longer visible, we should, at least, show our hospitality to people with Faith, Hope and Charity, i.e to people who are truly Catholic. To do so is to show hospitality to Christ; for Christ said, ‘if you do it to these, you have done it to Me.’ So showing hospitality to ordinary people who do not have Faith, Hope and Charity is still hospitality. But it is not the hospitality shown by Martha. 

     When Pope Francis show hospitality to Jews, Evangelicals, atheists, abortionists, migrants and transexual….this is hospitality of some kind but it is not the hospitality of Martha because these people do not have Faith, Hope and Charity as proven by their sinful state. And when he refuses even just to talk to good bishops who simply want to ask why they had been uncanonically removed from their dioceses…….that is refusing to show hospitality to Christ. He is not even a Martha.  He has no love for God or neighbour  This inhospitable practice is common in curial offices. Like father like son.

     Of course, it is impossible for most people to know if a guest has Faith, Hope and Charity. So the monastic practice is to show hospitality to all; saints or sinners. When there is fidelity to this practice in one’s effort to love God and neighbour, then God, in His goodness will send a saint or an angel to be your guest to whom you can practice hospitality. 
     As St. Benedict wrote; ‘you show hospitality as if your guest is Jesus Christ. If your guest is not Jesus, because of your good intention, you will receive a Marthan reward. Christ mentioned this in the past Sundays; ‘he who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a holy man because he is holy will receive a holy man’s reward.’
     See, the necessity of having Faith to be able to show hospitality to Christ. You have to believe and see that Christ is in your guest….even if the guest is a criminal. Never receive a migrant because he is a migrant.  That is pagan hospitality. There is no reward for that. 
     When your guest is obviously without Faith, Hope and Charity, it is still hospitality but I repeat, it is not the hospitality of Martha. 

     In the time of St. Benedict, people became monks and lived in community to attain Faith, Hope and Charity. In the first stage, they repent. In the second stage they become Marthas. Since the monks are seeking God, there is a great probability that they have Faith, Hope and Charity. So anyone who live in that community and show hospitality to them, like cooking for them, like Martha, in in fact showing hospitality to Christ. That is the main purpose of community life in the monastery. But sadly, that is not what is happening today. Unable to reach Faith, Hope and Charity due to lack of repentance, it has become useless showing them hospitality since they, themselves do not have it.

     Hospitality is serving Christ or those who are Christ like because they have Faith, Hope and Charity. The service is mostly physical; cooking, serving, entertaining, etc. Like what we commonly do to our guest. Except in the case of Martha, the hospitality is done to Christ or those who are Christ like. 
     The act of hospitality done by Martha needs Faith. 

     To become a Mary one has to pass being a Martha. No one can reach contemplative life without passing through the hospitality of Martha. St. Benedict emphasised this in his rule. No one can become a hermit without mastering community life. The hermitical or contemplative life is the life of Mary. Community life or the active life is the life of Martha. 

5. Mary and hearing the Words of Christ.
     While the active life is more physical, the contemplative life is more spiritual. Contemplation is a life of prayer. It is not a life of prayer the way we understand it where we keep on talking to God. It is when we listen to God. 
     It is adapted precisely when we are old, weak and unable to do physical activities. That is the time we are able to reach that spiritual state. So the timing is good. The grace of old age is precisely that; that we have the leisure to listen to the Word of God, either by listening to readings or reading by ourselves or purely by meditating on the things we have read in the past. We don’t need a community for that, though it is still a big help.  At this point some become hermit. 
     
     Today there are so many trying the heremitical life. Most of them are unprepared because they have not undergone a thorough Martha way of life. Most often they become hermits because they cannot stand community life. It is an escape to an artificial silence by avoiding people. They cannot stand people. So it cannot be ‘love of God and neighbour.’ 

6. Martha’s only error.
     There was nothing wrong with Martha’s hospitality. It was very good. Her mistake was when she asked Christ to call Mary to leave her better portion to be engaged in the lower act of hospitality. Thus Christ rebuked her. 

7. Ganswain’s ‘Martha and Mary’ comparison.
    Archbishop Ganswain, Pope Emeritus Benedict’s constant companion had been causing waves. Earlier he mentioned the fact that Pope Benedict did not resign. Surely he said that with Benedict’s permission so we have to accept that. But the idea of two   Popes is a problem since the Church can only have one Pope.
     Then the good bishop raised the idea  that  one of the Pope is contemplative and the other Pope is active. Pope Benedict is the contemplative and Pope Francis is the active. This brings us to the only evangelical narration  about Martha, the active, and Mary, the contemplative. But this cannot explain the diarchy proposed because in the diarchy the two Popes are in the same level. But in the case of Martha and Mary, Mary is superior while Martha is an inferior. If applied, Pope Benedict would be the Pope and Francis would only be a bishop.
      But Pope Francis does not qualify as Martha because his hospitality are towards adulterers, transgenders, abortionist, atheist, Protestants; people who are not Christ like. Therefore he is not even a Martha. He is lower than Martha. So the idea of diarchy cannot be applied to the two Popes. But the idea is still there; that there are two Popes. Doctrinally, this cannot be. So this must be resolved. 

8. Here is the syllogism.
     So, the latest announcement is that Pope Benedict did not resign so we have two Popes, one is doing the contemplative ministry of the Papacy and the other is doing the active ministry of the Papacy. The closest evangelical comparison we have to accept that theory is the Gospel on Martha and Mary. But this Gospel does not describe two ministries in one Papacy. It describes one higher state of spiritual life (described as the better portion) and another lower state of spiritual life (described as ‘anxious about many thing’ concerning hospitality for Christ). So a diarchy is not possible. Plus we have the problem that while Pope Benedict fall in the contemplative level, Pope Francis does not correspond to the active level because Francis’ activities are not spiritual but socio-migrant -economic and global warming. So we are left with a problem that has still to be resolved. The resolution by which the very salvation of our souls will depend.  

 1. Correcting Prelates.
     Because there are so many articles criticising and correcting Pope Francis, the Vatican is sending threatening signals; ‘Don’t criticise or correct the Pope…. or else.    A few serious Catholic journalist had been fired from positions for  doing so.  Bishops had been suppressed or removed from their diocese for doing so. And priests doing so had been persecuted by their respective bishops. 
     Even a news headlined Pope  Benedict saying; ‘do not criticise the Pope.’  Criticism, must be avoided. But ‘fraternal correction,’ which is an act of Charity, must always be done.

2. St. Thomas of Aquinas quoting St. Augustine. 
     The main act of repentance for the forgiveness of sin is for a soul to have mercy on his own soul by correcting his faults and sins. And St. Augustine adds; ‘show mercy not only to yourself, but also to him who being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger.’
     A negligent bishop or Pope commits greater sin by reason of his higher position. Who will have mercy on him, except those who will warn him of his sins? Fraternal correction is a work of mercy. Therefore even prelates ought to be corrected. They are neighbours that must, also, be loved.

3. True ‘mercy.’
     To have true mercy on one’s soul, according to St. Augustine, is to find out your sins and correct those sins. That is showing true mercy on your soul because it will redound to the salvation of your soul. What greater act of mercy can one do to his own soul than by saving his soul. And how do you save your soul? By finding out what are your sins and correcting them. That is the main essence of ‘repentance.’ 
     Oh, I forgot that in the Bishop’s Synod of 2012, the Bishops showed that they did not know what repentance was though Pope Benedict ordered them to discuss ‘repentance,’ in preparation for the ‘Year of Faith.’ No one can make an Act of Faith without first finishing their life of repentance. 

     The ‘mercy’ being preached today by Pope Francis does not have this important element of pitying oneself and pitying others by correcting their sins. The ‘mercy’ today preached by both Pope and Bishops is the opposite; ‘to tolerate all sins and if you cannot avoid other sins, just do it.’ That is hatred for oneself and hatred for others. It is like saying; ‘if you want to go to hell, go to hell.’ That is not correction; that is encouragement.

4. ‘Fraternal correction’, as an act of justice, must never be made by an inferior towards a superior. A layman, deacons, priest or bishop does not have the obligation of giving fraternal correction as an act of justice, to the Pope. But all are obliged to give even the Pope ‘fraternal correction’ out of Charity because we are obliged to love the Pope. And ‘fraternal correction,’ as shown above by St. Thomas and St. Augustine, is an act of Charity and love. 
     Fraternal correction which is an act of Charity is within the competency of everyone in respect of any person towards whom he is bound by Charity, provided there be something in that person which requires correction.

5. ‘It must be observed that if the Faith is endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly. Hence St. Paul, who was Peter’s subject, rebuked him in public, on account of the imminent danger of scandal concerning Faith, and, as the gloss of St. Augustine says on Galatian 2:11, ‘Peter gave an example to superiors, that if at any time they should happen to stray from the straight path, they should not disdain to be reproved by their subjects.’ Take note Pope Francis.
     Pope Francis and the cardinals and bishops on his side are causing great dangers to the Faith in that they are practically changing the Church from one instituted by Christ to a man-made church manufactured in Argentina. They are placing millions of Catholics in imminent danger because of their sin of scandal. The Pauls should rise up and correct Peter and his co-horts. 
     Pope Francis had made up his mind not to change the direction of his papacy. It begun with a complete violation of his papal vow made at his election. And as he himself announced, he will not resign but will continue and finish what he had started. …..to completely change the church from one being doing the Will of God to one that is made up according to the will of Bergoglio.
     Considering the horde of Jesuits around him, how come not one is offering him the charitable gesture of ‘fraternal correction?’ Where are the Jesuit theologians like Hans Kung? Do the Jesuits have no love for God or their neighbour, the Pope? Why not a peep?  Spadaro, Lombardi, Reese; no word from you? It is because of their silence that we are forced to speak. Otherwise, as St. Augustine wrote, our sins would be more grievous. Because we know there is something to be corrected. Maybe Pope Francis does not know he is showing signs of having no love for God nor for neighbour. No love for adulterers, no love for migrants, no love for aberosexuals, no love for Pentecostals or Evangelicals, no love for Scalfari nor the woman whose feet he kissed on Holy Week. 
     He, only, have a love for publicity seeing how he choreographs his TV appearances as reported by his lensmen. 

6. St. Augustine’s plea.
     St. Augustine almost cries for all, out of Charity, to render ‘fraternal correction’ to those above us; priests, bishops, cardinals and even the Pope. By holding a higher position they are in greater danger. One sinful action, one immoral announcement in a plane ride and that alone can bring down tons of hell’s coals on their head. Pray for them? No, no. The proper response is, out of 
Charity, render them ‘fraternal correction.’

 1. The ordinary sequence for giving correction.
     The ordinary sequence for giving fraternal correction should be; the Pope corrects cardinals and bishops, bishops correct their parish priests, parish priests corrects husbands, husbands corrects wife, parents correct children and older children corrects younger children. 
     But going deeper into the proper way of correcting as found in Scriptures, those who know more should correct those who know less. Or those who have more Faith should correct those who have less Faith. But in this it is difficult to find out who has more Faith and who has less. So we can simply say; those who know more dogma and morals should correct those who know less.
     Superiors must correct inferior.  All of the above seeks in a special way the recovery of an erring brother or the progress of a brother seeking perfection……both by means of a simple warning. This obligation is on those who has Charity.

2. ‘Fraternal correction’ as an act of Justice.
     ‘Fraternal correction’ is primarily an act of Charity as described above. As an act of Charity it is directed towards a person or several persons.
     There is a ‘fraternal correction’ that is an act of Justice. It is identical to the act of Charity but directed towards the common good. And this can only be done by a Bishop. It is ‘fraternal correction’ accompanied by a punishment. It is, in effect, an act of Charity, because of the correction, but, also, an act of Justice because of the punishment for an erring brother.

     If a person does not give ‘fraternal correction’ when he is in a position to do so, he is guilty of a sin against Charity. When a person due to ignorance punishes when there is nothing to punish, he is guilty of a sin against Charity and a sin against Justice. 

3. Pope Francis is guilty of both.
     His lack of Charity is seen in his refusal to give ‘fraternal correction’ to adulterers, homos, lesbians, unbelievers, Protestants, pagans, atheists, etc. 
     His lack of Justice coupled with his lack of Charity is shown in the way he treats good cardinals, bishops and priests; like Cardinal Burke, Cardinal Pell, Cardinal Muller, Bishop Livieres, the Franciscans of the Immaculate and priests who celebrate the Latin Mass, etc.

     The whole Vatican Bureaucracy seems to be in this state since the time of St. Joan of Arc. The way Joan was treated is the way the Vatican had been treating many good priests. Without Charity and without Justice. The case of Padre Pio comes to mind. 

4. Charity and Justice.
     The moral virtue of Justice is an off shoot of the theological virtue of Charity. Justice must be built on Charity. ‘Fraternal correction’ of bishops on priests must first be founded on Charity and, afterwards, on Justice. The ‘fraternal correction’ of parents on children must, first, be founded on Charity and afterwards in Justice. But ‘fraternal correction of parish priests on parents must only be based on Charity and not on Justice. 
      Never should any correction be based on lack of Charity and on Injustice. That would not be correction, that would not be fraternal. And that would not be Catholic. That is how Bishop Cauchion treated St. Joan of Arc. And sadly, that is how Pope Francis is treating many good cardinals, bishops and priests. Compare this to the way he treats the bad cardinals, raised as heads of  Congregations and member of the Synod. A priest whose only expertise is on ‘kissing’ he raised in dignity and made the writer of his ‘Amoris laetitia.’ And how about another appointee who is expertise is erotic Buddhism. And a bank head who is rumoured and has a case against him for perversity. 
     When you see photos of Pope Francis entertaining transvestites, proponent of abortions, Jews, Protestants…..entertaining them in lavish parties in the Vatican and then see Bishop Livieres waiting at the doors unattended just because his seminary is filled with seminarians and uncanonically dismissed from his diocese through stealth…..what is going on? 

     The Pope and his Papal oath. 
     One only has to go through the Papal oath all Popes read aloud immediately after their election.
     “I vow to change nothing of the received Tradition, and nothing thereof I have found before me guarded by my God pleasing predecessors, to encroach upon, to alter, or to permit any innovation therein; to the contrary; with glowing affection as her truly faithful student and utmost effort; to cleanse all that is in contradiction to the canonical order that may surface; to guard the Holy Canons and Decrees of our Popes as if they were the Divine Ordinances of Heaven, because I am conscious of Thee, Whose pace I take through the grace of God, whose Vicarship I possess with They support, being subject to the severest accounting before Thy Divine Tribunal over all that I shall confess; I swear to God Almighty and the Saviour Jesus Christ that I will keep whatever has been revealed through Christ and His Successors and whatever the first council and my predecessors have defined and declared……….”
     Ok, let’s stop there and ask; until what line had Pope Francis fulfilled?  He has gone against everything he had vowed. And who will give him ‘fraternal correction?’ Any one who has read the above Papal vow….and has love for God and love for his neighbour Pope Francis. 

   1.  To merit eternal life we must love God and neighbour.
        Love of God and neighbour is called Charity. And to correct your neighbour is an act of Charity. Since Charity is a command of Christ then fraternal correction is, also a command of Christ.
        St. James wrote that disobedience to one command of Christ is disobedience to all the commands of Christ. All the more, disobedience to the very foundation of all the commands, Charity, is disobedience to all the commands of God. The man who fails to correct a neighbour’s fault, under the given conditions, have no love for God and neighbour; he is not a Catholic.
        St. Thomas wrote; ‘the correction of the wrongdoer is a remedy which should be employed against a man’s sin.  A correction  of a wrongdoer is directed to the amendment of the sinner. Now, to do away with anyone’s evil is the same as to procure his good; and that is Charity. 

2. Again, Charity is the foundation of all commandments. Since ‘fraternal correction’ is an act of Charity which is the foundation of all commands, failure to correct when it must be done is to commit all sin, as St. James notes; ‘he who disobeys one command disobeys all commands. Thus St. Augustine added; ‘ You become worse than the sinner if you fail to correct him.’
     While the negative commands of the law, like for example ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery,’ forbids sinful acts, the positive commands, like for example ‘correct your brother,’ inculcates a virtue. Virtues must be done with great finesse; thus Scriptures have very strict procedures on how to correct. 

3. ‘Fraternal correction’ cannot be done well without Divine Assistance. But man must do everything in his power to do it well. Since man cannot know who are predestined and who are not, man must do the kindness of correcting his brethren with the hope of God’s help, St. Thomas writes. 

4. First, the obligation to correct arises when a person knows his dogma and morals; because upon these will the correction be based. 
Secondly, the sin of the brethren must  clearly  be a disobedience of
Christ’s command and not merely a difference of opinion. Thirdly, that the disobedience is public knowledge and not sought by stealth or by spying. Fourthly, that the one correcting had come to know personally the publicly known disobedience and not through rumours (consistent publication in the news is sufficient.)

5. The need to explain ‘fraternal correction’ of the Pope.
    Under the mentioned conditions,  Charity demands that a Christian must render ‘fraternal correction’ under pain of being guilty of a sin worse than the sinner. Remaining silent at the face of a needed ‘fraternal correction’ is considered as agreeing to a sin of scandal.

     A ‘fraternal correction’ in which circumstances force us to correct is based on the fact that the words and actions of Pope Francis is putting him within the realm of being an anti-Pope, a sin that brings certain condemnation. 
     The facts. First and foremost, he is proposing morals that are against the teachings of Scriptures, the Fathers and of past Popes; he had stated that dogmas are not needed to be saved, that Faith is not needed for salvation, that mere regret can substitute for repentance, that marriage can be dissolved, that there is no Catholic God, that all religions can save, that all religions can unite , that there is no need to enter the Catholic church to be waved, etc….That alone makes him go against past Popes thus making him an anti-Pope. 
     His more evident fault is that, instead of giving ‘fraternal correction,’ by telling adulterers to stop their adultery, he is encouraging them to continue in their adultery and even  go deeper into a life of sin by sacrilegiously receiving Holy Communion.  
     His neglect in giving ‘fraternal correction,’ shows he has no Charity.  Without Charity he cannot be a Catholic. 
     However, no one can declare him to be so except by a group of cardinal, in session,  declaring him to be so. A sufficient group of cardinal had already expressed the damage Pope Francis is doing and they had expressed these in writing which is available to all. They just have to take the next step.  

6. It is evident that his soul is in grave danger of eternal damnation due to the obvious disobedience to the commands of God.  There is the prophecy that God will personally throw to hell an expected anti-pope who will be trying to destroy the Catholic Church in cooperation with an anti-Christ during these times.  Both the Book of Revelation and writings of the Saints, like St. Hildegard, mentions this. 
     Love of God and neighbour obliges any Catholic, in the above position, to render ‘fraternal correction.’ The first obligation is upon his Jesuit companions. The second obligation falls upon his co-bishops, according to St. Thomas. The third falls upon any faithful in the know. 
     ‘Fraternal correction,’ therefore must done, first, for the salvation of the one correcting. And, secondly only, for the salvation of the one being corrected. For the one giving ‘fraternal correction’ it is a sure sign of his love for God and his love for neighbour. 

   1. A misunderstanding.
      In today’s language criticism and correction are almost synonymous; but there is a world of difference between the two. Criticism is shallow, emotional and often irrational. Correction is deep, very rational and often an act of Christian Charity. 
     Our radio  program had earned a notoriety in that Protestants listened to it and found it unnecessary to attack the Catholic Church because our program was doing a good job doing it. Hold it. We are not attacking the Catholic Church. We are correcting what is perceived as errors in Catholic belief. 
     For the last 40 years we have published in summary form the writings of the Fathers of the Church’s interpretation of Scriptures. And the Bishop’s Conference requested that the publication be given to all Diocesan priests. Of course, it spread in Asia and even to far lands.  Its aim was the perfection of Catholic knowledge that is already contained in the writings of the Fathers together with Scriptures. The radio program was meant to remind the priests who have already read the teachings of Scriptures and the Fathers that there is  disobedience to those fonts of Revelation that endangers one’s salvation. Now, that is correction; that can very much sound like criticism to many ears. But those who are truly seeking God can very well see the difference and have shown gratitude for it. 

2. A more confusing age. 
     The year 2016 is an age of total darkness and confusion. It is the proverbial storm at sea in the Gospels. It is totally dark and we are in the midst of  howling and mountainous waves. It is akin to the terror experienced by those amidst an 8 magnitude earthquake in the middle of the night. The victims had simply described it as the end of the world. Complete terror; a moving earth, falling debris everywhere and in pitch darkness. Hmmmm? How did they know that? Had any experienced the end of the world? 
     The Fathers had written that the end of the world will occur at the middle of the night amidst great terror. We are  just experiencing a dry run.
     In such a situation, a glimpse of light will be welcomed. In such a situation that glimpse of light can only come from what Scriptures described as ‘fraternal correction.’ That is what we are trying to do, though it could be easily be misunderstood as criticism. The defect would not be in the object perceived but in the mind that is perceiving. We have control on the object but not on the minds of men who are perceiving. 

 3.  Our Aim is ‘fraternal correction.’  Let us now show the importance of performing this obligation. First and foremost, ‘fraternal correction’ is an Act of Charity, an act of the love of God and neighbour. It is a sign that one is inside the Catholic Church. Withholding ‘correction’ is a sin because it is an act of lack of charity which is always a sin. 
     This is described as an act of Alms deed and doing it well will depend the very salvation of our soul. While mere silence could be the damnation of my soul. The choice is very clear for all souls. The former and still on going newsletter on the writings of the Father we have  distributed was  the beginning of fraternal instruction. And these posts are just a continuation of it. 
     Now, that is already a glimpse of light. Let us proceed  and increase the wattage of the light. Not everyone can give fraternal connection. Only those who have mastered the commands of Christ and how to put them into practice can correct. Because when one corrects he must state the command of Christ disobeyed and how it was disobeyed. Then he must proceed to teach how the disobeyed command can be correctly obeyed. To accuse someone of having a fault in not enough. How the fault can be corrected is what makes it an act of correction. 
     An example. In a past post we discussed how Christ taught the apostles. Then we showed how this manner of teaching is disobeyed by all the seminaries. Then we corrected the defect and repeated how instructions should be done. That post was not a criticism; it was a correction, an act of love of God and neighbour, an act of Charity.   


4. Criticism vs correction.
     What is criticism?  It is the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes. So, it must be a mature human act of judgment where the mind makes a judgment that someone or something deserves disapproval. This judgment is, however, based on a perceived fault or mistake. So on what will the judgment be made? The judgment is defective in that it depends on something merely perceived and, therefore, no certainty. What will be the basis of that perception? Private opinion?  Private conscience. Unsound science or philosophy? It must, at least, be Scriptures and Tradition which for Catholics is the only bases for sound judgment. In criticism, everything is relative; everything depends on each one’s personal criteria. There can never be agreement here. And so every one’s criticism is as good as another. Agreement between the one criticising and the one criticised is impossible. 

     What is correction? In everyday life, correction is offering a change towards something right, true and accurate. Here the judgment made is human and mature. The bases for judgment are things that are right, true and accurate. That cannot be any science or philosophy.  The bases can only be Divine Revelation and the Tradition of the Catholic Church.

5. An example. On Pope Francis.
    We have made many analyses on Pope Francis. Note how we go about it. We begin by proposing the Sunday Liturgy of the Mass. We get the first two readings and read the Gospel. Then we explain the interpretation of the Gospel as taken from the Fathers of the Church as compiled by St. Thomas of Aquinas found in his Catena Aurea. 
     Then we get stories about Pope Francis from the news and analyse his words and deeds based on Divine Revelation and Tradition. If there is a contradiction or discrepancy then we note it down. That is not criticism. That is correction that is extensively discussed in the work of St. Thomas, Question 33, entitled ‘On Fraternal Correction.’
     Again, ‘fraternal correction’ is an act of almsgiving, an element of the life of repentance. It is an act of Charity, i.e. an act of love of God and neighbour. It is, also, an act of Justice. To correct is an obligation to God for which we shall  be judged on Judgment Day. 
     Faced with an erring brother, we are obliged under pain of sin, to correct him in Charity that the erring brother may find the way to his eternal goal. 

      
      

 1. At the beginning.
     The Chosen people begun their training in the desert. St. John the Baptist begun his training in the desert. Christ, Himself, lived a hidden life  in imitation of the life in the desert. And the beginnings of the Catholic Church, after Pentecost, the Church developed in the desert with the beginnings of monasticism. 
     The Church begun as types that can only be understood in the context of the desert. The Catholic Church begun as monasticism in the dessert. St. John the Evangelist established one of the first monastic community.
     The Catholic Church begun with the first coming of Christ. It will end with the second coming of Christ. Similarly, as the Church begun with monasticism, it will end as a monastic institution..
     The Fathers of the Church knew this well. St. Bonaventure explained it in more detail in his Theology of History. It was this topic that the young Joseph Ratzinger used as his thesis.

     The Catholic Church is a prophetic religion; meaning to say, she has the gift of prophecy where she knows all the teachings of Christ and can use that knowledge eschatologically, i.e. how that knowledge is fulfilled in the future. 
     The Benedictine monasteries were meant to be schools of prophets. They master both the teachings of God and its eschatological significance. Thus St. Benedict being so, was the founder of the beginnings of the Catholic Church in a decaying Rome and was prophesied to establish the Church at the end of the world in preparation to welcoming the Second coming of Christ. 

2. Joseph Ratzinger
    The young Ratzinger studied well this concept of the Catholic Church’s beginning as a monastic movement and ending at the End times as a monastic movement. Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict’s ‘new’ evangelisation is based upon this concept. So the ‘new’ evangelisation was similarly described by both, using the words of St Bonaventure as the ‘new’ monasticism. 
     Every renewal in the history of the Catholic Church always consisted in the renewal of monasticism because the beginnings of the Christian life, which is the life of repentance, was the monastic life. The first step in the spiritual life is the monastic life. Everything else is built on the monastic life. 
     It will be noticed that all religious orders are essentially monastic. The life in the seminary is an imitation of the monastic life. Even the laymen’s spirituality is described by St. John Chrysostom as a ‘mystical desert,’ refers to the life in the desert. 
     Joseph Ratzinger went deep into this concept due to his exposure to several Benedictine monasteries in Bavaria. As Pope he dreamt  to continue studying this theological concept by furthering his understanding of St Bonaventure’s theological concept of history which is the eschatological aspect of monasticism. 

3.  Pentecost.
     At Pentecost, the first members of the Church, the apostles, were perfect. But the church they were starting was imperfect. As they went about to all nations the churches they started were all imperfect. They would rise up to certain degrees of spirituality but they were, always, imperfect.
     As the Faith was introduced around the world, to Asia, Oceania, the US, to South America, the Church was always at its beginnings. Developing but always imperfect. 
     The Catholic Church will, only, become almost perfect at the end of the world; and then it will be perfected in the next life. So there was never a time that the Church was perfect except at its beginnings and at its end. 
     So as missionaries go to far lands, when Catholic nations undergo renewal…..it was always a beginning. It was never the end or its perfection. Except at the end time, the Church will be nearly perfect. This way God will show the world her perfection and how she could have solved all the problems of the world if only the world followed her teachings. The end time will be the exaltation of the Catholic Church above all nations. The world could have been as glorious as this if only the world used its head and submitted to her. 

4. St. Benedict of Nursia.
    At the time of St. Benedict, the Church had, already,  been started in Jerusalem and its surroundings, by the Apostles. Peter and Paul has gone to Rome and started the Church there. The Church had a beginning in Rome. But at the time of St. Benedict, it had not reached perfection. In fact, it was as it was in the beginning……it was back to paganism.
     This is the genesis of the Catholic Church everywhere. Always beginning. Never reaching perfection. But, instead, returning back to paganism. St. Benedict knew that. He knew that it had to start again from the beginning. And the beginnings of the Catholic Church is always with monasticism or the life of repentance. So he left Rome, looked for a cave. And with a few peasants started the Benedictine communities. 
     Europe was going to be Catholic this way.  Whole communities of monks went to evangelise Europe and  transformed it into a Christian nation reaching its highest point around the 13th century. That was just mid-way of its spiritual development.  Unfortunately, before it could further progress towards perfection, it collapsed with the Reformation. It was back to zero. 
     St. Benedict knew the possibility of the Faith returning to zero so he saw  to it that monasteries were establish everywhere to maintain the momentum of the Faith and lead it to perfection. But everywhere it was the same story. Always back to zero or maybe to 10%…but not good enough. 
     By the time of Pope Benedict, he knew it would be like this. So at the very beginning of his papacy he tried to begin from the beginning by proclaiming at St. Paul outside the Walls that to save civilisation that have returned back to zero we have to return back to monasticism……to the monasticism of St. Benedict. Europe responded with the establishment of the European Union which was patterned on the Basiliades of St. Basil, a very good model for a monastic nation. They knew something most politicians did not notice. That its emblem was the Apocalyptic ‘great sign in the sky.’ This was the Blessed Virgin with 12 stars. The emblem of the EU is still the blue flag with the 12 stars. 
     But even before it could start in the right direction it totally collapse under the weight of secularism and paganism. So back to zero. We cannot alway return to zero and get away with it. God had given man limits. 
     St. Benedict started the Catholic Church in many places. Still, it can be the starting point for the Church in any place.

     One day St. Benedict had a vision that his faithful followers will prepare the world for the second coming of Christ. So St. Benedict’s monasticism was the beginnings of the Catholic Church everywhere, it will also be the sign of the perfection and end of the Catholic Church on earth. Thus the monasticism of St. Benedict had always been described as the classical evangelisation. Now it is, also, called the ‘new’ evangelisation. 
     Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict described the evangelisation that should be used today in the world as the ‘new’ 
 evangelisation or new monasticism. Just as the Catholic Church, at the beginning of Christianity, were souls living in monastic communities in the desert. Today, the Catholic Church will be a new monastic community. The Catholic Church will not be found in cities as many think. As the Apocalypse described it, the Church will be a monastic community in the desert brought there by the ‘Great Sign’ in heaven
     Thus as St. Benedict was starting the Catholic Church in Rome, once again, an angel informed him that his followers will again teach his monasticism at the end time to prepare the world for the Second coming of Christ. Monasticism, it seems, will  be the beginning of all the Churches and all Churches will end up in being one monastic community.
     What we see today is that there is no new monastic communities. Most monastic communities had become purely worldly communities. But there are a few monastic communities that had progressed towards becoming almost perfect monastic communities. 
     While there are hardly any beginnings, there are some progressing towards perfection. Let us look for signs showing this directions. 

5. Sign of the times.
    A beginning is the Papacy of John XXIII. He said that he took the named John in honour of St. John the Baptist who was a voice crying from the wilderness inviting souls to come to the desert to hear the Word of God. That was symbolically a call to the monastic life.
     Then the ‘Veritatis Splendor’ of Pope John Paul II was a call to perfection. Its main theme was the young rich man who was told to go home, sell all his possessions, give it to the poor and follow Christ.  That was not living an ordinary Catholic way of life. That was living the perfection of the Catholic way of life. How many can live that way of life? No wonder no one obeyed that encyclical. See what I mean?
     Pope Benedict further perfected the direction of the Church by clearly pointing towards the monasticism of St. Benedict to whom the angel prophesied that it is the Church living his Rule that would welcome Christ in his Second Coming. He further perfected the ‘veritatis splendor’ with his three encyclicals on the three theological virtues. That is, indeed, the perfection of the Catholic way of life of which very few can observe. It is the very narrow road that very few can pass through .

6. Archbishop Ganswain.
     Archbishop Ganswain with his constant conversation with Pope Benedict is expressing what we have described above; first, that the Catholic Church begins with the monastic life with the life of repentance; and it ends with the monastic life with the life of perfection.
     The Church has many beginnings in every place and in many places. But it will end with one huge monastic community. And the Papacy of Pope Benedict is the beginning of the age of the perfection of the Church. 
     But how can we say that the Church is approaching perfection when it is in complete disarray and in total confusion? That is not the Church. It is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that is approaching perfection. And it is not the one in the largely developed metropolis. It is not the one in the Vatican and the Curial offices. It is not of this world though it is still in the world. 

     Recently, the good bishop said that Pope Benedict did not really resign. And he described a diarchy, two persons in one Papacy. The Vatican had not raised any objection. That raised a lot of problem because the idea of two person in one Pope or two Popes in one Papacy is not Catholic Doctrine. Even the Bishop’s explanation  that one of them being a contemplative and the other being active…..which is like Mary and Martha, did not help clarify the situation.  Not because the bishop is unclear; but more because most human minds are dull. 
     It is for this reason that the good bishop had been giving clarifications. And they are indeed clarifications. 
     The good bishop mentioned, recently, St. Malachi and the saint’s prophecy on the Popes. Prophecies can only be understood when they are actually happening. They cannot be interpreted before they are fulfilled.  So any earlier comments in favour or against them are out of place. 
     The Bishop is on schedule because the prophecies of Malachi is supposed to be fulfilled now, today. So it can be interpreted correctly if we are guided by types written in Scriptures. 

     Here is the Good Friday scenario commented on by St. Bonaventure. The Apostles who made up the near perfect Church  were in hiding. While everybody else, the Jews, the Romans, all the priests were not only against Christ but were the ones plotting for the life of Christ. This is the situation described in Malachi as the ‘days of tribulation’ that is supposed to happen under ‘Peter Romanus,’ the Pope after Benedict XVI. 
     Peter Romanus is supposed to be Pope Francis. Though the prophecy had been fulfilled we, still,  cannot interpret it correctly. He does not seem to be Peter Romanus no matter how much we try. 
     What bothers us is from ‘Scivia,’ a book of visions by St. Hildegard of Bingen, a Benedictine superior, in chapter 10 described an anti-pope during this time. Which explains why things don’t fit. 
     So bishop Ganswain comment that Benedict did not resign when actually he resigned and reappeared as Pope again, could be a fulfilment of what St. Grignon de Montfort wrote, that the Pope today will be appointed by Christ as it was in the beginning; just as God, Himself again, will appoint the apostles of the last days’ just as it was in the beginning’ thus establishing, again, the perfect Catholic Church that existed as it was in the beginning. 
     The possibility that Pope Emeritus Benedict is the newly appointed  ‘Petrus,’ and since he is staying in Rome, therefore, ‘Romanus.’ How did he become ‘Petrus?’ Because it is Christ who appoints and who gives the name. Christ called him ‘Petrus’ before, He will surely used the same name as it was in the beginning. 

7. The beginnings and the end.
     We have seen the Catholic Church beginning in many places; in Jerusalem, in Greece, in Europe and in the US. We have, also, seen the Church disappearing in many places; in Jerusalem, in Rome, in Europe. We have seen the Church resurrecting and beginning again in many places; liked in Japan and Korea. 
     But now we are seeing the Church being purified, a division is occurring world wide, beginning in the Vatican and extending to the smallest parish. Why is the Church being purified? That the good may form a small nucleus that would make up the small Church near to perfection. Why now? That is what Ganswain is trying to lead to; that the Papacy of Pope Benedict is the beginning of the fulfilment of the vision of St. Benedict. A vision that was confirmed by St. Hildegard of Bingen in her 10th prophetic vision  in her work ‘Scivia’; a 12th century Benedictine saint, who was raised by Pope Benedict to the honors of being a Doctor of the Church. In that vision she was describing the Papacy after that of Pope Benedict XVI. 
     In short, this division occurring in the Catholic Church is not man-made. It is the work of angels. And St. Benedict’s message is; be sure you are in the side of the true Catholic Church. 
    




    

 1. The Gospel about the Good Samaritan has two parts.
     The first part was about the lawyer who asked Christ ‘What must I do to inherit everlasting life?’ Christ gave the answer; ‘Love God and love your neighbour.’ But both commands were from the Old Testament. Being so it was an imperfect obedience to God’s commands.  Though imperfect, the two commands were obedience to God’s commands.  And we saw how even Pope Francis could not do that shown by his disobedience to two commands of God as he proposed in ‘Amoris Laetitia.’ 
     The lawyer, knowing better than Pope Francis, answered correctly. But his knowledge was Old Testament and, therefore, imperfect. So Christ showed him the perfected version of love of God and neighbour. Since both commands are identical He gave only one example. This one example shows both love of God and neighbour. It is the parable of the Good Samaritan.

     The Good Samaritan is the figure of Christ who came to save the wounded human race. He is, also, the figure of the Catholic Church sent by Christ as His Mystical Body to save the rest of the wounded human race. He is, also, the figure of each Catholic to whom Christ addressed  the words; ‘Then go and do the same.’ What did the Good Samaritan do?

2. The  wounded man.
     The man was the type of the human race having just come from Paradise (Jerusalem). And being punished for his disobedience is on his way down to the world (Jericho) to live out his punishment.
     Due to his disobedience he is wounded by the devil; this wound is his lost of virtues and the lost of the power of his free will. By lost of virtue he cannot naturally do good things. By the lost of the power of the free will, he is not free to chose what is good. 
     The Gospel described him as half dead; the intellect is alive, the free will is dead. Since salvation is an act of the intellect and free will, man is half unable to save his soul. 
     The Samaritan is moved with compassion towards the wounded man. Like Christ, the Church and every Catholic should similarly be moved with compassion. Compassion must move us to  show love to our neighbour. These are the acts of compassion that shows love of neighbour;

     a. The Samaritan dressed his wounds pouring in oil and water. St. Thomas of Aquinas writes; this bandaging of the wounds is to apply limitations to movements to check the sins. This binding or constraint on the wounds will give hope that the sin will heal. This means to impose stricter commandments. This will be painful, like wine, to the pride but it will heal corrupt portions of the sinful heart.
       Thus in monasticism, if the wounds of the soul are mild, the easy Rule of St. Benedict is enough. If the wounds are serious the Rule of St. Pachomius is more apt. But if the wounds are very serious then the Rule of John Climacus must be applied.  Like in every day life, if the wound is insignificant, a clinic is enough. But if the illness is very serious an ICU might be needed.
        
      Today, Pope Francis and the Church bureaucracy is doing the opposite. All the bindings of the wounds of souls are loosen  and all medicinal wine and oil are adulterated. All the teachings of Jesus Christ that are meant to heal the sinful soul are rendered ineffective due to a bad moral theology and non-existent ascetical theology. 

     b. He then hoisted him on  his own beast. The Samaritan preached to the wounded man to believe in the Incarnation of Christ, one of the first dogmas he must believe in initiating the cure of his soul. Christ and the way to salvation must be taught exactly the way Christ explained it to the lawyer; explaining both the imperfect and perfect way of loving God and neighbour.

      Today, Pope Francis and the church bureaucracy is not teaching the imperfect and perfect way of loving God and neighbours. The provision on Chapter 8 in ‘Amoris Laetitia’ goes against the imperfect way of loving God and neighbour.  The inability to have imperfect love will lead to the impossibility of having perfect love of God and neighbour. The result is total absence of compassion and mercy for oneself and for one another.

     c. And brought him to an Inn. The Inn is the Catholic Church. 
To be able to put someone into the Church, one should know the four visible signs of the Church mentioned in the Nicene Creed; and know how to enter the Church which precisely is what Christ is teaching the young rich man and the lawyer, i.e. through obedience to the commands of the Old Testament (imperfect love of God and neighbour.)

     As we have repeatedly discussed in past posts, our biggest problem is no one seems to know what are the visible signs of the true Catholic Church as mentioned in the Nicene Creed, which are One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Or the expanded 15 Mark version according to St. Robert Bellarmine. These signs are the only way the true Church can be recognised. These are all visible signs available to all men. Made precisely visible by God so all men can know which is the true Church. But no one seems to know them and no one seems to know now to use them for analysis. 
     Knowledge of these signs can, at least, intellectually resolve all the problems of the Church today. But no one is using them. Let us take an example; can remarried Catholics receive Holy Communion or not? Just ask; what is the Catholic teaching. Go to the Catholic Church and check her teaching. And there you have the answer! The problem is that we do not know where is the Catholic Church. Because we do not know the visible signs. If we take the four visible signs of the Nicene Creed or (which is the same) the 15 Marks of the true Church by St. Robert Bellarmine, it is very evident that the Vatican church under the Jesuit Pope does not have a single sign of the true Church.
     The first among the 15 signs mentioned by St. Robert Bellarmine is ‘it is Catholic.’ But Pope Francis said ‘there is no Catholic God.’ So who is the god of the Vatican? How can anyone bring anyone into the Inn when they do not know where  the Inn is.
Everyone is presuming they are Catholics without a single proof. Even you who are reading this post. What proof or visible sign do you have that shows you are a Catholic? Check it out using the four visible signs of the Creed or the 15 Marks of St. Bellarmine (which fortunately had just been translated into English) and available in Amaz….. And it is cheap.

     d. he had the wounded man cared for in the Inn. The inn keeper are holy priests and bishops who, within the Church, cure the spiritually sick person. 
      The Inn is the Catholic Church. The Inn keeper are priests and bishops who have all the visible signs of the true Church of Christ. They also have the moral and theological virtues. They are very competent doctors of the wounded soul. 
       See how important it is to know the true visible signs of the Church which the Fathers of the Church, like St. Augustine, had very well described. We should know for certain which is the right Inn.  Everybody is entering five stars hotel and they are not the Inn. They are the wide road that leads somewhere else. Most sects are advertised as five star hotels. One of this new hotel is the church of compassion and mercy of the Argentine bishop where adulterers have nice accommodations. Beware of the field hospitals. 

      e. he took out two silver pieces. These are the two commands; love God and neighbour, first, as taught in an imperfect way in the Old Testament and secondly, as taught perfectly in the New Testament.
      The imperfect love of God and neighbour can be taught outside the Inn. But the perfect love of God and neighbour can only be taught inside the Inn by the innkeeper.
      The perfect knowledge can only be taught by Christ, Himself. And Christ only teaches within the Church and to those who are inside the Church. This perfect knowledge cannot be learned outside the Church. So the great necessity to know which is the true Church and to know how to enter that Church. 
     The perfect love of God and the perfect love of neighbour, which is the way to show compassion and mercy towards neighbour, can only be taught by Christ, Himself, within the Catholic Church. 

     Because most do not know the visible signs of the true Church, most are outside the Church. And being outside they do not know the perfect love of God and neighbour. And the reason they do not know it is because they are not interested in knowing the imperfect knowledge. The world is ignorant of both imperfect and perfect knowledge on the love of God and neighbour.
      Take note of Pope Francis first public speech on love, which we cannot miss because it was much publicised. It was headline in all our newspapers. It was entitled ‘Love without need for dogmas.’ Charity without dogma is impossible.  Charity tells us to love God. Dogma tells us who is the God that we should love. How can we love someone we do not know. So dogmas on who is God must come first before we can love God. In effect Pope Francis was referring to the ‘Id’ of Sigmund Freud and calling it the Charity of Christ. The difference is as wide as the difference between an angel and a pig. 
      In the church today there is no love of God and love of neighbour. Christ had indeed prophesied describing this age; the decay of Faith and the waxing cold of Charity.  The Jesuit author Coleridge had well described our present era in his ‘The Return of the King.’  Don’t Jesuits read their own good authors?

      f. he told the Inn keeper to look after him and if there is any further expense he will repay him when He returns.
      If the holy priests and bishops teaches the wounded soul more than the two commands in its perfection, they shall be rewarded greatly by the Lord.
      Since it is Christ, Himself, who teaches within the Church, it can happen that Christ, using human teachers, can teach more than what His instrument can teach.  Just like St. John of the Cross. He learned too much. Thanks to the Inn Keeper St. Teresa of Avila. St. Thomas of Aquinas learned so much. Thanks to St. Albert the Great. 
     Bishops are supposed to have perfect knowledge of the teachings of Christ. That is inherent in their state as bishops, St. Thomas of Aquinas reminds them. But what we see today is that ordinary laymen are teaching and correcting the priests, the bishops and even the Pope. This is funny but we are not laughing because, in truth, it is tragic; the state of the hierarchy. Though there are always exemplary priests and bishops they seem to be hidden or better still, suppressed by Pope Francis like Bishop Livieres when he was still alive and the Franciscans of the Immaculate.  

     3. The inability to be like the Good Samaritan has made the world devoid of love of God and neighbour. Without love, hatred will arise. And the world is filled with hatred. The blacks hate the whites and vice versa. Some hate the Jews. Others hate the rich. St. Augustine wrote that to hate one means you hate all men. To love one perfectly is to love all man. 
     The black who hate one white necessarily hate all men, white, yellow, brown and grey. The arab who hate a Jew hate all Jews, all arabs, all non-arabs, and all whatever. The communist who hate the rich hates all rich, all poor, all middle class, all men and women and all young and old. And the man who hates himself hates all men, all women, all babies and all old people. There you have the reason for abortion and euthanasia…..hatred of self which is the beginning of all hatreds.
     We cannot escape that;  if we love one perfectly we love all men. If we hate just one, we hate everybody. Now, can we see why there is so much hatred? The world is drowning with hatred expressed in a thousand different ways. People even hate the Pope and would want to drown the Vatican in blood. Why? Because the Pope who is the head of the Catholic Religion, the religion of Love, who is supposed to teach TRUE LOVE is not imitating the Good Samaritan…..have neither love of God nor love of neighbour. And many bishops, priests, nuns and laymen  had followed his doubtful teaching that God is so compassionate and merciful that hardly anyone goes to hell. If that is so, why work so hard in loving God and neighbour perfectly? Why follow the example of the Good Samaritan? Why follow Christ who said; ‘then go and do the same.’ As many suggest; ‘do it the Bergoglian way.  Which leads to…… we do not know where.
