Roman Doctrine - Changeable when Needed!
In his July 27 message for 'The Catholic Telegraph,' Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk of Cincinnati, Ohio aptly demonstrates the double-talk and sinking sand preaching that Rome is famous for. 'His Grace' wrote:
"To begin with, Christian life is not a series of obligations...(But) You have to go to mass on Sunday. You have to get married in the Church. You can't practice birth control. You have to be against abortion...But these obligations and expectations are not the primary thing."
Well........yes they are, "the primary thing," according to official Roman documentation.
The Catholic Catechism, in paragraph 2180 says, "On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass."
Paragraph 2181 says, "Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin."
Paragraph 1857 says, "Mortal sin is sin whose object is a grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent."
The result of mortal sin according to paragraph 1861 is, "exclusion from Christ's kingdom and the eternal death of hell." I would call "the eternal death of hell" a very "primary thing!"
As one of my Catholic relatives said a little while back concerning the Roman clergy (I was out of the room or else they would not have said it), "they re-write the rules whenever they want." It's quite obvious Archbishop Pilarczyk isn't paying attention to his own church teaching, let alone the BIBLE, but just in saying whatever he wants to.
1 Peter 1:23 says we are to be, "BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOREVER." The BIBLE "LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOREVER," but Roman doctrine changes whenever it needs to.
May our prayer be that Catholics be given the courage to admit that the teachings of Rome change, "whenever they want," and that they repent of the sin of Catholicism, trust in the BIBLE as God's infallible book, and receive Christ by faith ALONE. Lord, we thank you we can come to the BIBLE and know it won't change this Sunday, next year, or forever!
