Who's the REAL 'Father' in a Catholic Family?

The Roman Catholic perversion of what a family should be was accidentally shown in an article by Knights of Columbus president Carl Anderson. "Teach Your Children Well," is an article with the typical Catholic hand-wringing warnings about the, "popular culture" of today, and how parents need to get their children to Mass, into CCD, church organizations, etc.

What is interesting is what the article does NOT say - it makes NO mention about a father's role in the household! The article boasts:

"Young Catholics who attend church with their mothers on a weekly basis were more likely to follow the teaching of the Church...Religious activity by the mother was a very important factor in the moral development of young Catholics...the mother's role is significant, especially in teaching her children to pray."

Remember, this is an article whose readership is mainly Catholic men. Satan here reinforces the norm most obviously seen in Catholic countries such as Mexico and Italy - where "religion" is viewed as "woman's work."

The whole Catholic plan for family destruction is based on cutting out the father and husband in spiritual matters, and instead substituting another "father," namely the Roman priest. A Catholic family ends up having many "fathers" over the years - men to whom the secrets of their hearts are entrusted through the confessional! As in any Catholic household, the biological father is not the real "father" of the family!

Satan knows he can control a family much better by getting the father on the sidelines of family life. Satan's very first attack on mankind was through the weaker vessel, the woman, in Genesis 3. Paul warns in 2 Timothy 3:6 of false teachers, "FOR OF THIS SORT ARE THEY WHICH CREEP INTO HOUSES, AND LEAD CAPTIVE SILLY WOMEN LADEN WITH SINS, LED AWAY WITH DIVERSE LUSTS."

This is why Rome insists on celibate priests - the "party line" about it being because Jesus was not married is strictly a smokescreen. The real reason is a married Roman priesthood would have two problems in controlling Catholic familes:

1. The priest's wife would not let him get as close to other women as he does now.

2. Catholic women would not share their hearts with a married priest as they do a celibate one.

The BIBLE is very clear on how God has designed the family. Ephesians 5:22-23 says, "WIVES, SUBMIT YOURSELVES UNTO YOUR HUSBANDS, AS UNTO THE LORD. FOR THE HUSBAND IS THE HEAD OF THE WIFE, EVEN AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH." Ephesians 5:25 says, "HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIVES, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT."

The Roman priesthood and it's confessional perverts God's plan for the family and seeks to tear the family to shreds. May many Catholic husbands and fathers repent and confess the sin of allowing Roman priests entrance into the hearts of their wives and children, may they forsake Rome forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.

The Many Faces of Mary

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio is presenting an art exhibit this week titled, 'Many Faces of Mary.' Nearly 200 pieces of "art" are displayed to help, as the diocesan newspaper, the 'Catholic Universe Bulletin,' says, "people appreciate each other's experience of Mary." However, never has so much sin been packed into one "art" event.

1. It encourages Mary worship. In describing one of her paintings, artist Peggy Stanton said, "I wanted to portray her (Mary) as the strong protectress of society." Ah, my Roman readers, this sounds a little more high-powered than the old and worn-out, "we only ask Mary to intercede," line.

2. The second commandment in Exodus 20:4, "THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE," (which is conveniently omitted from Catholic catechisms) is broken many times over. The article also shows a picture of Jesus blasphemously portrayed in one sculpture as a naked, bare-bottom exposed three year old at the knees of Mary (she has clothes on.)

3. Cleveland bishop Anthony Pilla, the driving force behind this event, just happens to have his own water color submitted in this exhibit. Hmmmm....a suspicious person might think "His Excellency" set this whole show up just in order for him to display his own graven image!

4. The article also detailed how Mrs. Stanton got the idea for another painting. "The inspiration for the work came from her career as a correspondent for ABC," and, "subsequent travels with her husband...an official with the World Bank." ABC News and the World Bank! Such ungodly "inspiration" led her to paint, 'Mother of the Developing Nations,' with Mary and a baby Jesus very politically correctly portrayed as black Africans.

5. "Appreciate each other's experience of Mary." These people can all "appreciate," but not test, "each other's experience." Rome loves "experience" because it has no foundation, and cannot be tested by other "experiences." This is why Rome hates the sure and never-changing foundation of the word of God - because the BIBLE says in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, "PROVE ALL THINGS; HOLD FAST THAT WHICH IS GOOD." Like the scattering of cockroaches when a light is turned on, the Roman clergy run for cover whenever their false works are tested and exposed by the light of the BIBLE.

Romanism continues to push Mary worship relentlessly. The adversary knows Mary worship might be the bridge between Rome and Islam. A Catholic writer and Fatima specialist, Francis Johnston, summed it up best in a book he wrote in the mid-70's. Regarding the bringing together of Rome and Islam he said, "We (Rome and Islam) might not be able to agree about Jesus, but we can agree on Mary." May Catholics who will only agree on Jesus ALONE repent of the sin of Catholicism, forsake the Roman Church, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.

Catholic Archbishop Casts Doubt on the Bible

The Roman archbishop of Cincinnati, Ohio, Daniel Pilarczyk, continues his assault on what the bible says in an October 5 article from 'The Catholic Telegraph.' In addition, the article exposes one way Rome deliberately keeps bible truth from people.

His article is on the scheduled epistle reading for October 7, which happens to be 2 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14. In the opening paragraph of the article, "His Grace" displays his doubt of the word of God when he writes, "Scholars do not believe that the pastoral letters are the immediate work of Paul, but represent the work of unknown writers trying to extend Paul's teaching and mind-set into a new church context." There are two points I would like to make:

1. 1 and 2 Timothy both start out in the very first verse with, "PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST," and Titus starts out, "PAUL, A SERVANT OF GOD, AND AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST." I wonder what part of, "PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST," Archbishop Pilarczyk finds so hard to understand? "PAUL" means "PAUL," it's very plain who the author is. By casting his doubt on the bible to Catholics of southwest Ohio, this archbishop is continuing the same line of attack used in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:1, when Satan said, "YEAH, HATH GOD SAID," in getting Eve to doubt the word of God.

2. By presenting the fiction of, "unknown writers trying to extend Paul's teaching," this man is very subtly planting seeds that he and the rest of the Roman clergy are those who today, "extend Paul's teaching." Whereas in fact, the Roman clergy supresses Paul's teaching and the rest of bible truth.

As for the epistle reading itself, note how verses 9-12 are left out, and Rome has a good reason, for verse 12 reads, "FOR WHICH CAUSE I ALSO SUFFER THESE THINGS, NEVERTHELESS I AM NOT ASHAMED: FOR I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, AND AM PERSUADED THAT HE IS ABLE TO KEEP THAT WHICH I HAVE COMMITTED UNTO HIM AGAINST THAT DAY." God evidently felt verses 9-12 to be important enough to be put in-between verses 8 and 13, but some Roman committee in times past decided differently.

Rome hides verse 12 because if, "HE IS ABLE TO KEEP," was heard by the people, some might get the notion that you can know you have the full assurance of salvation through the work of Christ ALONE. And of course, Rome hates the work of Christ ALONE, hates the biblical teaching that truly born again Christians know they are going to heaven, and has instead substituted a man-made sacramental system of works where no one can be sure they will ever get to heaven.

May the Lord's Spirit show many Catholics that salvation is through faith ALONE in Christ ALONE - totally apart from the drudgery of the never-ending (and money-making) Roman sacramental system that in truth only leads to hell.

What Next - Rain Dances to Mary?

Further proof that the Roman Catholic Church is NOT the church established by Jesus Christ has come to light in an article titled, "Bishops Statement on American Indians Supports Traditions," from the November 2 issue of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Ohio newspaper, 'The Catholic Telegraph.'

The article reports on how the Roman Diocese of Rapid City, South Dakota is embracing all sorts of Lakota (or "Sioux" for those who wish to remain politically INcorrect) spirituality into their Roman practices.

The article says, "The Second Vatican Council came to the recognition that there is no conflict between Christianity and traditional Lakota spirituality...Catholicism goes hand in hand with the Lakota way and the role of the Church is to be present for the people in all aspects of life."

I agree!! Romanism does go "hand in hand" with this American Indian animist religion of witch doctors and medicine men! For example:

Nagi Gluhapi - The Keeping of the Soul. The Sioux have their own version of praying for those in "purgatory." Nagi Gluhapi is a rite where the souls of the dead are purified. This is a rite given to the Sioux by the "White Buffalo Maiden." There's a lot of rituals to be gone through in this, such as holding a lock of the deceased's hair in some smoke, smoking a sacred pipe, and so on. HOWEVER, the Sioux are one up on Rome - at the end of Nagi Gluhapi, the soul is released! But in Romanism, when you ask your priest when will enough Masses be said to get a loved one out of purgatory - with clasped hands, tilted head, and a soft, uncertain, somber voice he will say, "Well, we can never really know."

The article continues, "Many people are now practicing both Catholicism and Lakota rites such as sweats and vision quests...and elements of Lakota culture spirituality are being incorporated into the Mass. These include certain rituals such as incensing with sage and an eagle feather, singing hymns in Lakota, dancing and drumming." Let's see what a "vision quest" is:

Hanblecheyapi - Crying for a Vision. Yes, just like Rome, the Sioux have despised the word of God and are seeking visions. The Sioux just do it a little different than Bernadette Soubirous or Lucia Santos of Lourdes and Fatima fame. To cry for a vision is to become a "lamenter," and to "lament," you need to go to a medicine man and he starts you on another long set of rituals. It starts off with bringing a filled smoking pipe to a medicine man, who then holds it up to the sky and says a bunch of prayers. Then the lamenter gathers sticks and stones, sits in the "purification lodge," etc., and finally ends up naked on a mountain top waiting for some kind of vision.

American Indian religion is wickedness! What's next? Will American Roman bishops turn in their miters for feathered war bonnets, their vestments for buffalo robes, and dance around the altar grunting, "hay-yuh hay-yuh, hay-yuh hay-yuh?"

Jesus Christ does NOT accept the worship of Indian sun dances OR the Roman Mass. But, we should not be surprised by their commonalities and desire to join ranks, because "Lakota rites" and Roman Catholicism both issue from the same polluted fount - the devil!

The BIBLE says in 2 Corinthians 6:14-15, "WHAT COMMUNION HATH LIGHT WITH DARKNESS? AND WHAT ACCORD HATH CHRIST WITH BELIAL?" Verse 17 says, "WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE, SAITH THE LORD, AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING, AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU." May many Catholics repent of the uncleanness of Catholicism, forsake Rome, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.

Confusing Catholics About the Bible

The Roman archbishop of Cincinnati, Ohio, Daniel Pilarczyk, said something in his September 28 article in 'The Catholic Telegraph,' that I have found to be occasionally repeated in articles by other Roman clergy.

In the midst of this article, he makes a comment about 1 Timothy 6:16. First, let's see what 1 Timothy 6:16 says:
"WHO ONLY HATH IMMORTALITY, DWELLING IN THE LIGHT WHICH NO MAN CAN APPROACH UNTO; WHOM NO MAN HATH SEEN, NOR CAN SEE: TO WHOM BE HONOUR AND POWER EVERLASTING. AMEN."

The comment "His Grace" makes about the above verse is, "These last lines of the reading (verse 16) may be a quotation from a liturgical hymn on the author's part." I don't know what his source is for such a comment (my own observation has been that any time a Romanist sees anything resembling a doxology in the bible, they automatically assume it must have been some church hymn), but we can see the real reason this Roman clergyman is deceiving his flock - he's implying that this portion of 1 Timothy was written by copying a church hymn - therefore, shouldn't this prove Rome gave us the bible?

This is a favourite argument of Romanists - that Rome gave us the bible. This is very clever on Rome's part because the Romanist cannot argue his case before an open bible, so he has to get that bible in your hands shut, and shift the focus to human logic, obscure history books, and endless church 'fathers' quotations. The Romanist knows he can't stand on the plain truth of the bible, so his method is to undercut the authority of the word of God, and get you to close your bible. Remember, the only bible a Roman priest likes is one with a lot of dust on it!

My answer to such a Roman claim is very blunt - if Rome gave us the bible, Rome would do what the bible says. But it is very clear Rome pays no attention to what the bible says! On being told that Jairus' daughter had just died, the bible says in Mark 5:36, "AS SOON AS JESUS HEARD THE WORD THAT WAS SPOKEN, HE SAITH UNTO THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE, 'BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY BELIEVE.'" Jesus said, "ONLY BELIEVE," but others would tell us salvation depends on the need to get baptised, go to the one true church, have a valid earthly priesthood, there is other literature just as important as the bible, have apostolic authorities today, trust in the angelic visions of children...

I'm sorry - was I talking about Mormonism or Catholicism? They are actually quite alike in many ways!

Let us not waste our time with Romanists seeking arguments, but to pray for Romanists seeking the truth, for those seeking the truth will see Rome is guilty of great wickedness, and leave the Catholic church. May God give Catholics the grace to see Rome does not teach the bible, may they repent and forsake Romanism, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
