A Catholic Priest Who Threatened a Girl

The Fall 2003 issue of the 'Good Newsletter,' a ministry of EWTN (American Catholic television) regulars Penny and Bob Lord, details the state of mind of Saint Padre Pio after a supposed encounter with the child Jesus. This was reported in an article titled, "Padre Pio and the Santo Bambino."

Padre Pio, whose real name was Francesco Forgione, was an Italian priest who lived from 1887-1968. Recently named a "saint" by the pope, Padre Pio had the "stigmata" - wounds in his hands and feet for over 50 years. Catholics attribute this to a work of God, but in all probability, these wounds were psychosomatically induced by Padre Pio himself.

Padre Pio had a great devotion to the "child" Jesus, despite the fact that the bible tells us Jesus of Nazareth grew to be a man in his early 30's (Luke 3:23), and that He remained a Man (Acts 7:56) after His ascension into heaven.

The article recounts what a girl named Lucia Ladanza saw while saying the rosary in a Catholic church on Dec 24, 1922:

"She heard a noise, and looked in the direction from which it came. From the internal stairway of the sacristy, she saw Padre Pio come down and stop near the window. All of a sudden, the entire room lit up. In a burst of heavenly light, there appeared the Child Jesus, resting in the arms of Padre Pio, whose face turned radiant...Padre Pio seem to her to be in ecstasy with his Lord, the Child Jesus."

So......what was Padre Pio's state of mind immediately after this spiritual encounter? The article continues:

"Then he (Pio) admonished her (Lucia) severely: 'Don't say anything to anyone or else I will wring your neck like a chicken.'"

The article goes on to make the excuse that Pio supposedly had a "glint of humor in his eyes" when he said that. But further on, the article also says, "She stayed at least a little more than an arm's length away from Padre Pio, for fear he might truly 'wring her neck like a chicken.'" Pio pretended he was only "joking," but Lucia knew better.

REAL encounters with Jesus Christ do not lead to adults threatening to wring the necks of children like chickens! BUT - an encounter with a demon posing as a child Jesus WOULD cause such an attitude.

Please continue to pray daily that our Lord Jesus Christ protects children from - the Roman Catholic priesthood.

The Pope Wants a Hungry America

Catholic groups and church officials will be participating in a World Trade Organisation meeting Sept 10-14 in Cancun, Mexico. This was reported in the Sept 9 issue of the 'Catholic News Service,' in an article titled, "Agriculture at Top of WTO Agenda; Church Gives Input at Conference."

God has always blessed the USA with abundant foodstuffs, and American agriculture is the most productive in the world. But the Roman Church and her global allies are now looking for ways to dismatle US agriculture in the name of "fair trade."

At this conference it appears that the WTO line of attack on US agriculture will be that American farmers have an unfair advantage over third world farmers because of US policies designed to support US farmers. Naturally, the WTO will piously claim to want a level "playing field" for all farmers in the world. BUT - will it result in Mexican or Zambian farmers being made more efficient? OR - will it result in US farmers being brought down to the level of third world agriculture?

Watch this issue in the coming years, as the pope and his church, along with their WTO friends, will be howling louder and louder for what would really be the destruction of American agriculture in the name of "fair trade." After all, a hungry America would be a weaker America, and less of a threat to the pope's workings for one-world religion.

The pope is well-known for spiritually starving people, and when it suits his interests he will physically starve them, too.

The next time you walk into a US supermarket, thank the Lord for His blessed abundance, and ask Him to protect the USA from - the Roman Catholic Church.

Less Idolatry in Southwest Ohio

"Backlash from sexual misconduct scandals has rattled local Catholics, causing church attendance on both sides of the Ohio River to plunge and causing parishioners to withhold donations." This was reported in the Aug 30 issue of 'The Cincinnati Enquirer,' in an article titled, "Shaken, Catholics Shunning Church."

The article further stated:

1. "According to SurveyUSA's poll of 414 local Catholics, 28 percent say their faith has been negatively affected, 26 percent say they are attending Mass less often, and 25 percent are giving less money to the church...When parents were asked if their church's handling of sex abuse cases would make them less likely to encourage their children to practice Catholicism, 22 percent said it would."

2. "In Cincinnati, (Mass) attendance dropped from 221,740 in 2001 to 208,217 last year."

In the past two years, Jesus Christ has done so much to expose the black heart of the Catholic Church. Let us continue to daily come to the throne of grace and ask our Lord to:

1. Comfort those sexually attacked by the Catholic Church.

2. Protect children from the Roman priesthood.

3. Free many Catholics from the sin of Catholicism.

4. Stop the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association from sending people back to the Catholic Church.

5. Awaken Christians that the Roman Church is in fact - antichrist.
