CATHOLIC Abuse (Pennsylvania) Case PAGE

CATHOLIC Abuse (Pennsylvania) Case PAGE
Wycliffe: The Friars of Sodom
Martin Luther Wrote about it back in the 16th century
Peter Damian Wrote about it back in the 11th century
Luther on Catholic Clergy Immorality
Ye have wearied the LORD with your words.
Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him?
When ye say,
Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD,
and he delighteth in them;
Malachi 2:7
"The nominal churches of this day are filled with fornication and adultery, the result of base, lustful passion, but these things, to a great extent, are kept covered. Ministers, in high places, are guilty, yet a cloak of godliness covers their dark deeds, and they pass on from year to year in their course of hypocrisy.
Their sins have reached unto Heaven."
From A Solemn Appeal E.G.W.
*We have not (before now) commented on the Catholic Church and it's sex abuse scandals of minors...the reason is because there is more than enough coverage in the secular media and we don't want to be viewed here as piling on the Catholic Church in light of our criticisms of their dogma....BUT THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH TO IGNORE....PURE EVIL....UNBELIEVABLE!!!...They haven't changed since the Reformation...

Puritan Corner - Mirror of the Mind

Words are the mirror of the mind — they show what is in the heart.      
by Thomas Watson (1620-1686)
But the things that come out of a person's mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.
Matthew 15:18 NIV

Formula for Genuine Motive

Faith in God + a love for souls = genuine motive for faithfulness.

"Faith in God and a love for souls gives men a genuine motive for faithfulness."

Papal Notes - 5,000 Women

And all the women whose heart stirred them up.... Exodus 35:26
 
"5,000 Catholic women pen letter to pope...

 
In a letter, thousands of Catholic women are pleading with Pope Francis to break his silence on the charges leveled by Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ², who alleged that the pope knew of Cardinal McCarrick's abuses and predatory nature, but elevated him instead of sanctioning him or turning him over to authorities.
The letter, originally signed by 53 seminarians, professors, consecrated women, theologians, missionaries, and mothers of the Church, implores:

Our hearts are broken, our faith tested, by the escalating crisis engulfing our beloved Church. We are angry, betrayed and disillusioned. The pain and suffering of the victims never ends, as each news cycle brings more horrific revelations of sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, cover-ups, and deceit—even at the Church’s highest levels.

The letter goes on to state very clearly the most pressing matter for most Catholics right now:

Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ²’s recent  statement impels us to reach out to you directly for answers. His testimony accuses you, Holy Father, and highly placed cardinals of turning a blind eye to former Cardinal McCarrick’s egregious behavior, and promoting this predator as a global spokesman and spiritual leader. Is this true?

Pope Francis refused to comment on ViganĂ²'s charge, saying only, I read the statement this morning, and I must tell you sincerely that, I must say this, to you and all those who are interested: Read the statement carefully and make your own judgment. I will not say a single word on this.”
 
The Catholic women go on to chastise the pope for so flippantly ignoring their sincere desire to understand the truth:
 
To your hurting flock, Pope Francis, your words are inadequate. They sting, reminiscent of the clericalism you so recently  condemned. We need leadership, truth, and transparency.
 We, your flock, deserve  your answers  now."

IN the NEWS - Yes, they did a POLL on this

Behold, a virgin shall be with child,... Matthew 1:23

"The number of Christians and religious "nones" who believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ has decreased significantly since 2014, according to a survey released by the Pew Research Center.


Overall, 66 percent of Americans believe Jesus was born to a virgin, down from 73 percent in 2014. While some might expect nonbelievers to wrestle with doubts about the Christmas story as relayed in the Bible, the new research says there are actually signs of growing doubts from Christian groups as well.

The percentage of white mainline Protestants who believe in the virgin birth has declined from 83 percent to 71 percent.

Among religious "nones" (those who identify religiously as atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular"), the belief in a supernatural virgin birth has declined from 30 percent in 2014 to 17 percent today.

A significant drop was also seen among young adults, ages 18-29, with now only 54 percent affirming a belief in the virgin birth of Jesus. In 2014, 70 percent held that belief. 

As for millennials, less than half (44 percent) now believe in all four events of the biblical nativity (virgin birth, angel announcement, wise men's visit, Jesus in manger), a drop from 59 percent in 2014.

Meanwhile, white evangelicals (95 percent) and black Protestants (96 percent) remain firm in their belief of the virgin birth. 83 percent of Catholics agree, down from 86 percent in 2014."

Creation Moment 8/31/2018 - Calvin on the Rainbow

"Calvin, commenting on “I have set my bow in the cloud” (Gen. 9:13), said:
From these words certain eminent theologians have been induced to deny, that there was
any rainbow before the deluge: which is frivolous. For the words of Moses do not signify, that a bow was then formed which did not previously exist; but that a mark was engraven upon it, which should give a sign of the divine favor towards men. … Hence it is not for us to contend with philosophers respecting the rainbow; for although its colors are the effect of natural causes, yet they act profanely who attempt to deprive God of the right and authority which he has over his creatures.
 God mainly used natural causes in the preservation of Noah and the animals e.g. Noah had to build a wooden Ark; the cause and rise of the Flood—fountains of the great deep plus 40 days of rain; and its abatement—a wind, and continents rising and ocean basins sinking. This suggests a continuity between ‘natural laws’ before and after the Flood.

There is simply no evidence from the biblical text that natural laws functioned so differently that dispersion of light would not have occurred before the Flood. Rather, what the text does say suggests that there was no difference in the natural laws.

Also, natural laws are our description of God’s normal, repeatable ways of upholding His creation, while miracles are His extraordinary means.
So if rainbows were not produced, we would need to deduce that God was actively preventing dispersion. There is not the slightest evidence in the text for this." AIG

Papal Notes - After Shocks

Being filled with all unrighteousness... Romans 1:29

"Though the Vatican may be trying to ignore the tempest generated by explosive allegations from a former papal ambassador that Pope Francis knew about misconduct allegations against ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and ignored them, that didn’t stop reverberations being felt in Rome on Wednesday.

Pope Francis during his regular Wednesday general audience didn’t allude to the McCarrick charge.

there were at least four aftershocks from the earthquake triggered on Sunday, when an 11-page letter from Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ² was released claiming he informed Francis in June 2013 that McCarrick had “corrupted generations of seminarians,” that the Vatican’s Congregation for Bishops has a thick dossier on the ex-cardinal, and that Pope emeritus Benedict XVI had imposed restrictions as a result.
  • Vatican spokesmen were compelled to issue a public denial after Italian news agencies moved
    a story claiming close aides to the pope described him as “embittered” about the ViganĂ² affair.
  • Two American archbishops on Tuesday and Wednesday became the latest prelates in the country to endorse ViganĂ²’s credibility.
  • ViganĂ² himself gave an interview to a major Italian newspaper, among other things rejecting suggestions that he’s lashing out at Francis now out of sour grapes.
  • At the end of Francis’s General Audience on Wednesday, a group in St. Peter’s Square could be heard chanting, and many observers thought they heard “ViganĂ²!” ....
Late on Tuesday, the Italian news agency Ansa carried a story citing “close collaborators” of Francis describing the pontiff as embittered by the ViganĂ² affair." CRUX

IN the NEWS - Lafayette, Louisiana Leaving God

"A local library in Lafayette, Louisiana has recently decided to host
Drag Queen Story Time” on October 6th of this year. The purpose of the event, according to the Lafayette Public Library System, is to “share stories of individuality, openness and acceptance with families seeking an opportunity to show their children that every person is unique and should be treated with equal respect.” However, the mayor and various local members of government have challenged whether this event is something in the best interests of the children of the town."

Lessons of the Altar of Incense

"The golden altar, or altar of incense, was before the veil in the first apartment of the sanctuary.


Within the crown of gold encircling the top of the altar, holy fire was kept constantly burning, (Exodus 30:8) from which ascended the fragrant smoke of the incense placed upon it every morning and evening.

The high priest alone was to perform the sacred duty of placing incense before the Lord on the golden altar. (Exodus 30:7-8).

Our minds should often dwell upon the work of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary. (Hebrews 3:1).

John, the beloved disciple, was permitted several times in vision to behold the Savior officiating in the heavenly sanctuary.
--He saw a heavenly being standing at the glorious golden altar.
--He beheld the incense offered upon that holy altar.
--How it must have thrilled his soul when lie saw that precious incense added to the poor, faltering prayers of the struggling saints here on the earth:
*He saw those prayers, after the incense was added, ascend up before God, and they were accepted because they were made fragrant with the incense. "We know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the Will of God." (Romans 8:26-27) But even the Spirit could not present the prayers of sinful mortals before a pure and holy God without adding the fragrant incense.

David understood what was typified by the incense, and prayed, "Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice." (Psalms 141:2).

 The horns of the golden altar were often touched with the blood of the sin-offering, thus typifying that it was Christ's death that made it possible for our prayers to be answered and for us to be clothed in His righteousness.

--As the fragrance of the incense was not confined to the sanctuary, but was carried in the air to the surrounding neighborhood; so in like manner, when one is clothed with Christ's righteousness, an influence will go out from him which those that come in contact with him will recognize by its fragrance as of heavenly origin."

SDA Issues - Simplifying 1888

"The rejection of the 1888 light opened the way for false ideas to enter under the guise of righteousness by faith.


Indeed, if we turn from the genuine, nothing can prevent our grasping the counterfeit.

A. T. Jones, at the 1893 General Conference Session showed how the mind devoted to self becomes the mind of Satan. He traced its development though paganism to the subtleties of Romanism.

He said there are two kinds of justification by faith- -a true and a counterfeit.

The counterfeit says that justification by faith is purely a legal pronouncement made millions of light years away that has no relation to our human heart; we verbally "accept Christ" and we start the heavenly machinery rolling.

One's name is then entered in God's computer and our eternal social security benefits are then credited to our account.
Our decision has initiated this process of legal acquittal. We were clever enough to put the coins in the washing machine. An element of pride can enter here; we initiated the process of our salvation.
A perfect example of what Peter has told us: "While they promise [us] liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage" (2 Peter 2:19, NKJV)."
