American Catholics Confront Bishop

Bishop Edward Slattery of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma got an earful from English-speaking parishioners at Sts Peter and Paul Church at a June 29 potluck dinner. This was reported in the July 23 Eastern Oklahoma Catholic, in an article titled, "Anglo Parishioners Vent Frustrations to Bishop."

When Slattery was there in springtime for confirmation services, almost everything was done in Spanish – and those at the dinner let the bishop know they didn't like it!! One parishioner said:

"English-speaking parishioners have tried to be welcoming to Hispanics. But many feel the newcomers have not reciprocated, and the Anglos' contributions are not valued."

The article continued:

"Bishop Slattery provoked vigorous 'No's!' (from the parishioners) when he suggested that just as Spanish-speakers need to learn English, perhaps English-speakers could try to pick up some Spanish."

Comment – This is America, why do the English-speakers need to learn Spanish?

The bishop asked if all the illegals should be sent out of the country, and one man replied, "Yes, and I'll drive a bus."

Comment – At least one Catholic still has some loyalty to the United States.

In response to this comment, the dictatorial heart of Bishop Slattery was exposed:

"When another parishioner said that people have a right to their opinions, he (Slattery) replied, 'No, they're not entitled to their opinion unless it's Truth.'"

Comment – This is REAL Catholicism – that people are "not entitled to their opinion" unless it matches whatever Rome says is "Truth." The Catholic system has always hated freedom of speech and the freedom to think for oneself.

The Roman Catholic Church – working to turn the USA into another Mexico. Are you praying daily that God protect the USA from illegal immigration and the Roman Catholic Church? If not, you need to start.

Catholics Participate in Another Graham Event

The latest apostasy of Billy and Franklin Graham took place July 7-9 in Baltimore, Maryland, at what was called the "Metro Maryland Festival." This was reported in the July 13 issue of The Catholic Review, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, in an article titled, "Billy and Franklin Graham Evangelical Festival Attracts a Tremendous Crowd." The article said:

"Father Erik Arnold...archdiocesan liaison to the festival, along with a group of trained counselors attended the festival in order to bring fallen away Catholics or those who aren't attached to a church to experience the Catholic Church."

Comment – Wow! So the Grahams let Catholic counselors not only talk to "fallen away Catholics," but also those "who aren't attached to a church" as well!

The article described one of the "counselors:"

"The first time Patricia Marx, director of Evangelization at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, Baltimore, really heard the gospel and knew that she wanted to be a Christian was at a Billy Graham Festival in Philadelphia many years ago."

Comment – We must wonder what kind of "gospel" Billy has been preaching over the years that would lead someone to be involved at the blasphemously named, "Cathedral of Mary Our Queen?"

In addition, Father Arnold has a team of 225 Catholics ready to "follow-up" on the names given them at the crusade......excuse me, "festival."

Most Christians think Billy Graham is a "man of God." Most Christians are wrong! And, Franklin is following in his father's apostate footsteps.

May our prayer be, "Lord, expose the Grahams for the frauds, compromisers, and apostates that they are!"

The Priest Plays - and the Laity Pays!

Catholics in the Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut will have to cough up an extra $200,000 to cover for the spending habits of Father Michael Fay, who resigned from St John Catholic Church in Darien, Connecticut on May 18.

This was reported in the Stamford, Connecticut Advocate, in a June 18 story titled, "Bookkeeper Details Priest's Spending Spree." Here are some details on how Father Fay spent his church's money:

"During a single week in November, for example, Fay spent $2,800 at Cartier in New York, $2,300 at the Polo store in Philadelphia, $1,400 on designer men's wear at the Ermenegildo Zegna Boutique in New York, $1,200 at the Tumi luggage store on Madison Avenue, and $473 on tickets to the Broadway production of 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,' according to credit card records."

"Fay...purchased airline tickets for his lover, Clifford Fantini of Philadelphia, and bought ads promoting Fantini's wedding planning business."

"Many of the items Fay bought with the parish's American Express card were purchased in Philadelphia, where Fantini owns a condominium."

According to a July 9 New York Times article titled, "Before the Downfall of a Priest, a Fondness for the Good Life:"

"Father Fay and his friend from Philadelphia, Cliff Fantini...jointly bought a $449,100 condo in Ft. Lauderdale (Florida). Furnishings and monthly cable bills were charged to the parish. The two men are also listed as tenants of a luxury apartment on East 63rd Street in Manhattan. Mr. Fantini...also stayed at the rectory for extended periods."

Not surprisingly, "lay" members of the parish finance committee did not return phone calls.

Comment – Oh well......Fay can now spend more time jetting around the country with his boyfriend. I'm sure they'll have "a gay old time!"

Catholics still believe that perverts like Michael Fay have the power to command Christ to turn Himself into wafers and wine. Does Christ really bow to the will of such men??

We thank God for continuing to expose the wicked and base nature of the Roman priesthood. Please pray for Catholic conversions.
