Michael, Gabriel, and Other Angels - House Movers!
Catholic love for fairy tales was seen in the Christmas, 2006 issue of The Goodnewsletter, in an article titled, "Our Lady of Loreto."
According to the article, when the Moslems took over the Holy Land, they had a plan to destroy the House of Mary in Nazareth because:
"It was well known that Jesus' apostles and disciples began celebrating Mass in the Holy House of Nazareth soon after Jesus' death."
Comment – How do they know this? When DID Peter say his first "Mass?"
As the Moslems got close to the house to destroy it, supposedly Christ told a group of angels:
"Move the Holy House; take it to a safer place, far from the hatred of My enemies in this land of My birth. Lift it; lift it high into the air, where they can't get at it. Don't let them see it."
"The angels carried the Holy House, high above the mountains and deserts of the Holy Land...on May 10, 1291, it quietly set down in the little hamlet of Tersatto, in Illyria, now known as Croatia."
This is blasphemy! Attributing words to Christ that He did NOT say. The authors of the article will have to answer for God's warning in Revelation 22:18:
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD UNTO THESE THINGS (emphasis mine), God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book."
Moving on – the "Holy House" then disappeared from Croatia on Dec 10, 1294! The article gives no explanation why.
"In the area of Loreto, Italy...shepherds reported seeing a house in the sky, flying across the sea (Ed note – sounds like The Wizard of Oz), supported by angels. They reported one of the angels...wore a red cape (Ed note – maybe it was Superman!)...they saw Our Lady and the Baby Jesus seated on top of the house...and landed into a wooded area..."
Comment – Jesus grew up to be a man, and is still a man (Acts 7:56). He does NOT turn Himself into a baby every once in a while.
It gets worse. Too many "pilgrims" were getting robbed going to see the house, so:
"The angels...lifted it again and set it down on a small hill in the middle of a farm. The only problem was, this land was owned by two brothers, named Antici, who began fighting immediately over ownership of the house."
"So the angels moved the house a third time, to another hill...the site it occupies now, and has for the last 700 years."
It is amazing the fables people will cling to when they reject the true Christ of the bible. May our heavenly Father give Catholics the grace to be free of such superstition, and the grace to receive the real Jesus Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins, no moved houses or red-caped angels needed!
