The intellect and the self.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The intellect is the faculty that judges by an act of mature reasoning, if an object is true and good. It must judge. &nbsp;I<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">f it is true and good it allows it to enter the house. If it is false and evil, it must reject the object.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The intellect always accepts the true and the good. It can never reject the true and the good. That is its God given power. To judge. And we must use this. We must judge. He who says &#8216;who am I to judge&#8217; is not made to the image the likeness of God.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Because of the defective self, caused by original sin, the intellect can made a&nbsp;mistake. It may judge some thing to be true when it is &nbsp;false and vice versa. Or it may judge something good when it is evil and vice versa. Here the defect is not in the object of the intellect but in the act of reasoning. The reasoning is illogical or there has been no act of reasoning involved.,<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;2. To guide the intellect.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;The true can either be natural truths or supernatural truths. The intellect is guided to chose the natural &nbsp;true with the help of Philosophy. And it is guided to chose the supernatural truth with the help of grace and Divine Revelations.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The natural and the supernatural good can be recognized with the same corresponding helps. Without the guidance of Philosophy, grace and Divine Revelations, the house keeper will not be able to screen the true and good from the false and the evil.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">3. The intellect, &nbsp;the devil and the world.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;There are two other external factors that can influence the functioning of the intellect. The devil and the world.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While original sin can make the intellect commit a mistake, the devil, by influencing the world can, also, make the intellect commit a mistake. The world that God made for men to use for the salvation of his soul, can be used by the devil to divert the love of men for God and re-direct it to the love of the world instead.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The world, also, have what is true and good. Being of the world, &nbsp;these are all in the natural level. That there is a God who created the world is a natural truth proven by the five &nbsp;natural proofs of St. Thomas of Aquinas. But the devil can deceive man into believing that the world was made by a &#8216;big bang.&#8217; This &#8216;big bang&#8217; lie is the product by the devil using the world. The devil does not deceive men directly. He, always, uses the world because men would never believe him if he appears as a devil. So he hides behind worldliness, behind a TV screen or a rock concert.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Original sin, alone, can make the house keeper commit many mistakes in screening who must enter the house and who must be excluded. Add to this the continuous bombardment of the devil and the world on the intellect through the senses. That is like tossing 20 tennis balls to a player. Which will he hit? Even if he hit five, he will surely miss the 15. The mind might judge five thoughts; but will miss judging the 15 which will allow them to enter the house like thieves.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;With so much unscreened, illegal immigrants coming into the house, the Gospel states that we are not ready to receive a favorable judgment from God because there should be no thieves inside. What is not true and not good, both in the natural and supernatural levels are not allowed inside one&#8217;s soul.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">4. Present state of the world.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; Keeping the moral principles mentioned above, let us see what a Catholic is facing today as a house keeper with the duty of guarding the main door. Is he a good, watchful housekeeper?<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;a.) firstly, he must cure his original sin by receiving Baptism to get the grace so he can study the supernatural truths from Divine Revelation. When the soul receives grace he will learn supernatural truths and together with these truths he will, also, learn essential natural truths.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This way the first monks learned both supernatural truths and natural truths like the law of Genetics, etc. He who knows supernatural truths will surely know the inferior natural truths; of course excluding useless truths, like if there are Martians.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;b.) secondly, there is the devil and the world. Without curing original sin with the grace of Faith, man will believe anything outside of God. &nbsp;Man&#8217;s mind will be bombarded by the pleasures of the world (money, food, comforts, conveniences). With the father of lies ruling the world, man will learn only lies from the world (mass media, news). Education and politics are all lies.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The world ruled by the devil will not teach the truth; in fact it will suppress all sources of truth (like Cardinal Sarah and Brandmuller had been suppressed) while the world propagate lies and do everything to prove their lies.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; c.) Add this to the above miseries of man. Most men will be spiritually possessed by Satan just like Judas, an apostle and one of the first bishops. The Pope, the bishops and priests are the instrument used by God to help the house keeper, the intellect, judge correctly what is true and good. If the Pope, bishops and priests are spiritual possessed by the devil, like Judas, man have lost an important guide for his intellect.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; And if the house keeper, himself, is spiritually possessed, then his intellect would be subservient to the devil allowing everything diabolical inside the house. And that is the present status &nbsp;of the whole human race.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">5. This present state of the Church is the only explanation why the Church is the way it is today. From Pope Francis, down to most of the bishops and priests, the whole Church is passing through Lund, Sweden to join the sect of Martin Luther, the heresiarch; on the way to Jerusalem to establish the One world religion with Lucifer as its god in the golden dome this coming September. The entire ceremony is sponsored by the New World Order, &nbsp;the lovers of money around the world.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This scenario had long been awaited by the Catholic Church. It was prophesied in the Old Testament in the life of Judas Macchabeus, it was prophesied on Christmas night, it was prophesied on Good Friday, it was prophesied many times through the history of the Catholic Church, it was prophesied by Our Lady of Good Success, Our Lady of LaSallete, etc&#8230;and popularized in the &#8216;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Lord of the World&#8217; by Robert Benson and read by Pope Francis. &nbsp;How come nobody noticed it? Because as house keepers we were not awake, we were not watchful, the mind was not thinking &#8230;&#8230;.because Lucifer had possessed and taken control of our minds.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;1.
