What fate for the clergy in schism?

Jesus lived a celibate life.  He wanted no earthly distractions, like family or business, to distract Him from God and His parish. The Catholic Church requires that Her priests be like Jesus in this regard. There have been times that those standards were relaxed.  There still are married priests, in a few small Catholic orders.  […]

Can schismatics do anything right?

Today’s Gospel is from Mt 18:15-20.  It includes the following passage: “Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am […]

Are White People from the Ten Lost Tribes?

Are White People from the Ten Lost Tribes?  On forms asking us to identify our race, many White people fill in the blanks with “Cauc.” or “Caucasian”.  Why do we do that?  Why do we identify ourselves with a name we can barely spell? The answer is in our history.  The Ten Northern Tribes were […]

Government lies began with Luther’s protests.

The Tower of Babel, and other manifestations of Babylon, are huge systems based on the lie that those in charge of civic projects can bring people to God. In our time, vast governmental structures have come into being to bring us, like the original Tower, closer to God.  In education, the environment, energy, law enforcement, […]

Habitrails are made.

A decade or so ago, “Habitrails” were popular toys.  They provided living space for hamsters and other small rodents.  A wide variety of snap-on plastic tubes, elbows, and additional nesting boxes could be purchased.  Some boxes had wheels in them.  The rodents would run and run until they got tired.  Then, they would drink, eat, […]

God programs in particles, and compiles them into systems and beings.

There are two basic Human Operating Systems.  One is built on the theory that Everything Appeared By Accident.  The other operates on the theory that God Created Everything. Each of us human programs uses one of the Operating Systems at any given time.  Many human programs begin by operating with one system and changing to […]

Who’s in big trouble at judgment?

We may imagine Judgment.  A Protestant soul stands before The Judge, and is asked:  “Why did you choose to ignore My words:  ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.’?” That soul will suddenly be aware of Jesus in His Full Majesty, ruling all there […]

Pulpit Protestants do know better.

Those who have studied Scripture, whether Catholic or Protestant, usually have a good idea of God’s opinions.  Most “pew Protestants” listen to, and heed, their professional “pulpit Protestants”.  These “little ones” in the pews take their advice from the pulpit seriously.  Those speaking from the pulpit are held to a higher standard. They know that […]

Donatists: “We’d rather be dead than Catholic.” God: “Okay.”

When Diocletian began persecuting The Church in 303 AD, many who were tortured renounced their Catholic faith. The persecutions were focused on priests.  When those who had given in under incredible pressure wanted to regain their offices, a few self-righteous Donatists said “No, it is wrong to forgive people for denying the Christian faith.” The […]

“And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

“And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” is how Jesus concluded His words to Peter:  “Thou are Peter, and on this rock, I build My Church.”  We don’t have to be overly bright to make this connection:  “If a church has given in to evil, it cannot be His Church, because the […]
