Pope Benedict won't go out of mind.

 1. He won't go out  of Pope Francis' mind.
     That Pope Francis had to call a meeting of his followers to assure him that he is the Pope. He is beginning to feel  that he is not the Pope. Surveys show that more than 70% of people questioned believe that Pope Benedict is still the Pope and only 30% believe Francis is the Pope. This is getting serious. As we said in the past, this issue must be resolved because it is of the utmost importance for the life of the Church. 
     Imagine all those activities in the Vatican, the audiences, the Masses, etc. Those appointments, those firings, those suspensions, those apostolic exhortations, encyclicals , closing down of monasteries, firing of superiors and bishops...... are all invalid if Francis is not the Pope. Nobody seems to realize the importance of this issue, so nobody is touching it. 

2. Many opinions why Benedict resigned. 
But knowing Pope Benedict, his reason has to be based  on Scriptures. Everybody's opinions is worth considering but because they are mere human conjecture, Benedict will never follow such a course of action. He will follow an evangelical path. 
     He, always does God's Will  and if he does anything like what he just did, it has to be because it is God's will. And his behavior must be reflected in the Gospels. 

3. The evangelical path Benedict seems to be following. 
   First, if he is doing God's Will, Pope Benedict should have not resigned because that is God's Will.......that he is Pope for life like like all his predecessors. And by his behaviors he really did not. 
   Secondly, like St Peter, the first Pope, he was approached by his people who informed him that the Vatican bureaucracy is filled with gays. Just as St. Peter was informed of a lesser problem and that the wives of the Greek widows were not fed well. And Peter the Pope said; feeding widows is not the job of the Pope. Assign deacons to do that job. My job as Pope is to pray and master the Words of God. So Peter told them, get deacons to do that job. So Benedict, in tackling the problem of gays told them; 'that is not my job. My job is to pray and master the Word of God.' Assign Bergoglio to do that job. 
     Thirdly then God expresses His Will to Benedict to step down for a while to allow Bergoglio to take over the problem of gays. Of course Benedict did not know that instead of solving the problem Bergoglio will enjoy it. But this is still God's Will. That Benedict step aside because it was time to test mankind. His resignation will be a perfect setting for that test. 
     Fourthly, like St. Peter on another boat ride amidst a strong storm, St. Peter left the boat and went to walk on the water to plead with Christ. Afterwards, Peter returns to the boat with Christ and storm settled down. Thus Benedict left the Papacy for a while to pray and plead with Christ. And will again return with Christ into the boat for a calm trip to shore. 
     Note that all the actions of Pope Benedict are according to the actions of St. Peter as Pope. So why was it according to God's Will that Benedict seemingly resigned? To allow the test, the entering of Bergoglio into the Church and the start of the testing of the Church. 
     Isn't this a difficult test? Yes. But it is the final test so it has to be a little difficult. We can only understand what is going on today in the context of a final test for mankind. We cannot look at it otherwise. 
     As the test is still on going, we still have Benedict to support us and pass our test. And we have Bergoglio, to make us fail our test. 

Pope Benedict won't go out of mind.

 1. He won't go out  of Pope Francis' mind.
     That Pope Francis had to call a meeting of his followers to assure him that he is the Pope. He is beginning to feel  that he is not the Pope.

THE LAST UNIVERSAL WAR.

1. The on going war.
     The final war is going on. The one described on Good Friday. While on Good Friday the war was limited in Jerusalem, today the war is world wide. It is a war declared by the devils against God; and God has allowed it as man's final test here on earth. Just as God allowed His Son to be crucified as a test for men on Good Friday. 

2. The devil's weapons are lies and murder, 'for the devil is a liar and a murderer. '
     LIES  To propagate his lies the devil controls all mass media, radio, television,  newspapers, magazines, etc. No mass media had been neglected by the devil. He knows this is the fastest and most effective way of disseminating lies. It is, also, the fastest way of dissemination the truth, but 'the children of darkness is cleverer than the children of light. '
     Together with control of mass media the devil also controls all people engaged in mass media, announcers, actors, actresses and newscasters. At this time in history, referred to as the post Easter-Pentecost Liturgy, it will be impossible to know the truth through mass media because of the diabolical control. But God will allow the true seekers to find the truth with much effort. There will be a glimmer of truth for the true seekers. 
     MURDER  As a murderer the devil will push all forms of killing; from abortion, to euthanasia; from terrorism to wars. Have you ever wondered why even if we should have learned our lessons from past wars, wars continue? It is intentional. It is in the devil's agenda. 

     The two opposing groups are these;  those who obey God's commands. The other are those who go against the commands of God. The good vs the bad. At this time, all men will be divided between these two groups. There is no third alternative. Everybody will present a hundred different motivation for their behaviors but all those behaviors will boil down to, one, those who obey God's command. And the other are those who disobey God's command. Other motivations were possible a 100 or 50 years ago; but not so today. Any researcher can  comfortably sit down and reduce all motives to these two basic motivations. One on the side of God, the other on the side of the devil. It is on one side is the true religion; and on the other side is everything against the true religion.
     
3. The Devil's human instruments.  
     The devil's instrument are all sinful people united together in their love for self and love of money. It is the very rich who in their covetousness have become the source of all evils in the world. They try to rule the world and dictate its destiny. It is not the head of nations or heads of religion who govern, it is this cabal of voraciously covetous people who, possessed by the devil, will act like devils, 'liars and murderers.' It is easy to spot them; they are all in mass media which they control. 

4. The world is a visible reflection of the Church. 
     No bishop or priest can complain about national politics because what is happening with the state is just a reflection of what is happening in the Church. Though God had seen to it that individual efforts can tone down ill effects as in the case of saints for the Church and good presidents in the case of the state. 

5. As in Good Friday, most priests and bishops will be on the other side, the side of the devil.  This is due to the prophecy of Christ that they will be pleasers of men, in which case they cannot be followers of Christ.  So we see bishops against capital punishment which is allowed by God, while the state allows it because it is a power God had given the state, which St. Paul described as the power of the sword. So if we go deep into motives, the president is in obedient to God's commands while the bishops are against God's commands. This is very clear in the case of President Duterte and Trump. All those against them are disobeying God's command including the bishops of both the US and P.I. while the presidents are, unknowingly, embracing policies that are in accordance to God's command. 

6. The difficulty.
    The commands of the New Testament are spiritual in nature and only those with Faith can know them;  only they can  know if others are disobeying or obeying God's command. With bishops not teaching the truth and, who instead are teaching errors, it becomes impossible for most people to discern who obeys God and who disobeys God. 
     This makes the bishops doubly guilty of sin because instead of committing only the sin of teaching errors, they are guilty of scandal by teaching the rest of the nation a wrong moral doctrine. With the whole world against the Church and many bishop against the teachings of the Church, the poor laity is in big trouble. Can they do something to help themselves? Yes, return to Scriptures and its proper interpretation as found in the Fathers of the Church, where St. Augustine and St. Thomas of Aquinas stated that capital punishment is a power given by God to heads of states. 
     St. Thomas wrote that for those with Faith, no proof is needed; while for those without Faith no proof is possible. So I don' expect anyone to agree with me that Trump, Putin and Duterte have inner goodness that God saw in them that made them win the election with a landslide. The common people who made them win can easily detect inner goodness as Christ, Himself said. And that is the proof they represent goodness; while all those against them are evil.  Their party members, their judges, their generals, the mass media, even the UN and EU, all pagan tribes, all pagan religions......and unfortunately some bad bishops and priests. If we analyze the other side it is clear that  they are against God's commands; including Pope Francis who have violated the 6th and 9th commandments. While the three presidents have not disobeyed any command, including capital punishment which is a Catholic doctrine used for one last chance of helping a criminal repent. With the abolition of capital punishment, the bishops are depriving the criminals a last opportunity for repentance. How cruel. See, when one goes deep into each person's motivation it is clear that either they are obeying God or disobeying God. And the whole world, today, is divided, exclusively,  into these two groups. 

7. Inner goodness.
    The Phenomenon noticed in the land slide victory of Putin, Duterte and Trump  is that the common tao, who usually can detect inner goodness, begun to notice these men after choosing the wrong candidates in previous elections. It is the redeeming act of the people. 
     The election results are difficult to described, except for the fact that God, Himself, controlled the whole thing for His own purpose; this especially seen in the US. With the secret machinations going on behind the scene by the entire US administration, Trump could have not won the election. It was pure Divine Providence. And we are watching for this in other nations because God seems to be acting up for a grand finale with angels stirring up Irma, Maria, earthquakes and rumors of war. Those are not caused by climate change. These are angels on the loose like that night in  Egypt. God is making people see the inner goodness in actions while the others see nothing. This last battle is between the good and the bad.

The BEATITUDES and the WOES - Wednesday of the 23rd Week in Ordinary time.

 1. The post Easter-Pentecost Liturgy.
      Holy Mother the Church proposes the teachings of Jesus Christ through the Sacred Liturgy. The teachings of Jesus Christ is continuously taught through the Liturgy. Every time Catholics attend the Liturgy piously, they go deeper into the supernatural truths of the New Testament. There is no end into the depths of the supernatural truths of the Catholic Church; and, therefore, there should be no end in piously attending the Liturgy. 

 2. The general division of the Liturgy.
     The seasons of the Liturgy is divided into five parts wherewith the truths are taught therein. The first step towards salvation, repentance, is taught from Advent up to the Lenten Season. The first theological virtue of Faith follows repentance and is taught up to Holy Week. The second theological virtue which follows Faith, Hope, is taught during Easter. And the third theological virtue which follows Hope, which is Charity is explained from Easter up to Pentecost. 
     Then the Liturgy proceeds to the post Easter-Pentecost season referred to as the Sundays in Ordinary Time. During this season, up to Christ the King, which is the end of the Liturgical season, Holy Mother the Church summarizes in three truths the teachings of Christ answering three questions; first, how does the true Church of Christ look like. Second, how can we know if we are inside the Church. Thirdly, how can we know if we are still outside the Church. 

     These three summarized truths are necessary for salvation. First, we must know how the true Church look like so we can enter the right Church. Secondly, we can know how the Church look like but we cannot presume that we are inside, so we have to know where is the door and how to enter. Thirdly, though we know how the Church look like and believe that we are inside, it is possible that we are mistaken and are still outside. With such problems in mind, it is imperative that we ascertain that we are truly inside by doubly checking the state of our souls based on the Gospels. And the post Easter-Pentecost season gives us certainly on the state of our souls.

3. The Beatitudes and the woes.
     The Gospel of Luke for the Wednesday of the 23rd week in Ordinary Time enumerates four Beatitudes. The other Gospels mention 8 Beatitudes. St. Thomas of Aquinas writes that the four is equivalent to eight and vice versa. 
      If the first Beatitude is put into practice, the second, third, fourth, etc will effortless follow by the workings of grace. So in developing the Beatitudes develop the first and the rest will be the work of God working in the soul. 

     The same goes with the woes. Give in to the first woe and the rest will follow with the help of the devil. 
     The Beatitudes are signs of being inside the Catholic Church, while the woes are signs of being outside the Catholic Church. When a community has put into practice the first Beatitude, becoming poor in spirit, they will suddenly have the four visible signs of the Church mentioned in the Nicene Creed. And the world can see these visible signs. 
     When a community has the woes, they will not have the four visible signs of the Church and the whole world will not find the true Church in them. 

4. Pope Francis. 
    When Pope Francis said; 'we do not know who is part of the Church or not,' he was right. What he said was right in that, today, we do not know who is part of the Church or not. Laymen, nuns, brothers, priests, bishops, cardinals and even Pope Francis do not know if they are part of the Church or not. He was right in saying that. Almost all Catholics are not sure if they are true Catholics or not; because they do not know how to  check if they are inside or outside. And yet, the whole post Easter-Pentecost Liturgy, consisting several Sundays and several weekdays deal precisely on this topic on 'who is Catholic and who is not.'
     The answer is simple; he who has the first Beatitude is Catholic, 'yours is the Kingdom of God (that is the Catholic Church.) And he who has the first woe is not a Catholic. 
     Pope Francis is right. Most Catholics do not know if they are part of the Church or not. In fact, Pope Francis, himself, doesn't know if he is inside or not, as is evident in his statement. 
     But he was wrong in giving the impression that it is impossible to know if we are part of the church or not. Here is proof it is possible to know if we are part of the Church or not; we shall explain the first Beatitude.

5. 'Poor in Spirit.'
     'Blest are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' The apostles had been trained in the spirituality of the Old Testament. Christ will now begin to train them in the New Testament. Remember, the Old Testament is in the natural level while the New Testament is in the supernatural level. All can understand the Old; only those with divine grace can understand the New.
     'So Christ lifted up His eyes. He does this when He will disclose a more hidden knowledge to a select  few.
     The Beatitudes are the degrees of holiness and happiness. The higher the Beatitude, the greater the holiness and happiness here on earth and in heaven.
     Thus blessed......the poor in spirit. Not the poor financially. The spirit or the soul has two faculties; the intellect and the free will. We must be poor in intellect; not poor in I,Q. but poor in worldly thoughts in our minds; and we must be filled with heavenly thoughts, says St. Paul. 
     Our free will or our hearts must be free of worldly and sinful loved sins. Instead our will must be filled with love for the things of heaven. With our minds free of all worldly and tangible things, with our hearts free of all love for worldly things, then we are 'poor in spirit.

     The utterly poor in resources can be 'rich in spirit' if they have countless worldly thoughts and worldly desires. 

6. The philosophical basis. 
     We can think with our minds of two worldly things at the same time. We can, also, think of two spiritual truths at the same time. But we cannot think of one worldly thing and one supernatural truth at the same time because they contradict each other. When we think of money, of mountains and flowers, we cannot think of the steps on how to save our souls. St. Anthony of Padua could not become a saint in the Augustinian convent because he was distracted by the well trimmed gardens of the convent. He transferred to the Franciscan and there became a great saint because the Franciscan only had weeds in their gardens. 

7. The reward.
     The reward for those whose minds are completely devoid of worldly thoughts and whose hearts are devoid of worldly loves is that they will be able to think of everything necessary to save their souls; they will be able to obey all the commands necessary to save their souls, they will be able to enter the Catholic Church and finally they will, to some  degree  be happy here on earth and eternally happy in heaven.
    A single worldly or sinful thought will make a soul rich in spirit; and this alone will prevent him from entering the Church and heaven. Instead of having the Beatitude, such rich in spirit will have the first Woe. 

8. Pope Francis and his Francis bishops are not 'poor in spirit.' What do they think about? Global warming, adulteries in marriage, infidelity to God. And worst, instead of teaching people to be 'poor in spirit' and leave all things, they are encouraging everyone to go to Europe and grab everything they can, even the young girls.  Their concern are all worldly, The American bishops are now concerned with the worldly topic DACA. Though 'rich in spirit' and deserving of the first Woe, they think Trump is less Christian. Look who is talking. Deserving of the first Woe, most US bishops are outside the Catholic Church. Pope Francis is 'rich in spirit', St. Thomas would say, just because he cannot give up his Argentinian passport. 

9. The importance of being 'poor in spirit.'
     It is the entrance into the Catholic Church.  Christ required it from all his apostles. Peter and Andrew, Jame and John were described as having left all things, their nets, boats and even their father.
     Pope John Paul II's 'Veritatis Splendor' discussed extensively the importance of being 'poor in spirit' by quoting the Gospel narrative on the young rich man. Christ commanded him to go home, sell all things, including his passport  and follow Him. And St. Peter punished Ananias and Saphirra for having kept a little of their worldly possessions. 
     It will be observed that Pope Francis and most of the Francis bishops have not explained any spiritual doctrine. They are all involved in politics and other mundane issues. Cardinal Tagle of Manila is more concerned with drug addicts. That is not their field of expertise. What they should propose is the Catholic solution to drug addiction......which unfortunately most of them do not know. As they do not know, likewise the Catholic solution to criminality. The Catholic Church has the solution to all problems, and her role is to share these solutions with the world.  How come they are ignorant of it? They are rich in their worldly useless ideas but are ignorant of Heavenly ideas. Thus, Christ had deservingly hurled at them the four woes. 

10. There is a Catholic solution to all the problems of the world; from drug addiction to gay priests, from adulterous husbands to ignorant bishops, from starving continents to warring tribes. These solutions are in the supernatural order because all problems have a spiritual origin. And today, there is total ignorance of these solutions. That is why in the world, nothing works. And rightly had Pope Benedict mentioned that the Church is like a sinking ship. Or has it hit rock bottom?

The BEATITUDES and the WOES - Wednesday of the 23rd Week in Ordinary time.

 1. The post Easter-Pentecost Liturgy.
      Holy Mother the Church proposes the teachings of Jesus Christ through the Sacred Liturgy. The teachings of Jesus Christ is continuously taught through the Liturgy. Every time Catholics attend the Liturgy piously, they go deeper into the supernatural truths of the New Testament. There is no end into the depths of the supernatural truths of the Catholic Church; and, therefore, there should be no end in piously attending the Liturgy.

     The seasons of the Liturgy is divided into five parts wherewith the truths are taught therein. The first step towards salvation, repentance, is taught from Advent up to the Lenten Season. The first theological virtue of Faith follows repentance and is taught up to Holy Week. The second theological virtue which follows Faith, Hope, is taught during Easter. And the third theological virtue which follows Hope, which is Charity is explained from Easter up to Pentecost. 
     Then the Liturgy proceeds to the post Easter-Pentecost season referred to as the Sundays in Ordinary Time. During this season, up to Christ the King, which is the end of the Liturgical season, Holy Mother the Church summarizes in three truths the teachings of Christ answering three questions; first, how does the true Church of Christ look like. Second, how can we know if we are inside the Church. Thirdly, how can we know if we are still outside the Church. 

     These three summarized truths are necessary for salvation. First, we must know how the true Church look like so we can enter the right Church. Secondly, we can know how the Church look like but we cannot presume that we are inside, so we have to know where is the door and how to enter. Thirdly, though we know how the Church look like and believe that we are inside, it is possible that we are mistaken and are still outside. With such problems in mind, it is imperative that we ascertain that we are truly inside by doubly checking the state of our souls based on the Gospels. And the post Easter-Pentecost season gives us certainly on the state of our souls.

3. The Beatitudes and the woes.
     The Gospel of Luke for the Wednesday of the 23rd week in Ordinary Time enumerates four Beatitudes. The other Gospels mention 8 Beatitudes. St. Thomas of Aquinas writes that the four is equivalent to eight and vice versa. 
      If the first Beatitude is put into practice, the second, third, fourth, etc will effortless follow by the workings of grace. So in developing the Beatitudes develop the first and the rest will be the work of God working in the soul. 

     The same goes with the woes. Give in to the first woe and the rest will follow with the help of the devil. 
     The Beatitudes are signs of being inside the Catholic Church, while the woes are signs of being outside the Catholic Church. When a community has put into practice the first Beatitude, becoming poor in spirit, they will suddenly have the four visible signs of the Church mentioned in the Nicene Creed. And the world can see these visible signs. 
     When a community has the woes, they will not have the four visible signs of the Church and the whole world will not find the true Church in them. 

4. Pope Francis. 
    When Pope Francis said; 'we do not know who is part of the Church or not,' he was right. What he said was right in that, today, we do not know who is part of the Church or not. Laymen, nuns, brothers, priests, bishops, cardinals and even Pope Francis do not know if they are part of the Church or not. He was right in saying that. Almost all Catholics are not sure if they are true Catholics or not; because they do not know how to  check if they are inside or outside. And yet, the whole post Easter-Pentecost Liturgy, consisting several Sundays and several weekdays deal precisely on this topic on 'who is Catholic and who is not.'
     The answer is simple; he who has the first Beatitude is Catholic, 'yours is the Kingdom of God (that is the Catholic Church.) And he who has the first woe is not a Catholic. 
     Pope Francis is right. Most Catholics do not know if they are part of the Church or not. In fact, Pope Francis, himself, doesn't know if he is inside or not, as is evident in his statement. 
     But he was wrong in giving the impression that it is impossible to know if we are part of the church or not. Here is proof it is possible to know if we are part of the Church or not; we shall explain the first Beatitude.

5. 'Poor in Spirit.'
     'Blest are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' The apostles had been trained in the spirituality of the Old Testament. Christ will now begin to train them in the New Testament. Remember, the Old Testament is in the natural level while the New Testament is in the supernatural level. All can understand the Old; only those with divine grace can understand the New.
     'So Christ lifted up His eyes. He does this when He will disclose a more hidden knowledge to a select  few.
     The Beatitudes are the degrees of holiness and happiness. The higher the Beatitude, the greater the holiness and happiness here on earth and in heaven.
     Thus blessed......the poor in spirit. Not the poor financially. The spirit or the soul has two faculties; the intellect and the free will. We must be poor in intellect; not poor in I,Q. but poor in worldly thoughts in our minds; and we must be filled with heavenly thoughts, says St. Paul. 
     Our free will or our hearts must be free of worldly and sinful loved sins. Instead our will must be filled with love for the things of heaven. With our minds free of all worldly and tangible things, with our hearts free of all love for worldly things, then we are 'poor in spirit.

     The utterly poor in resources can be 'rich in spirit' if they have countless worldly thoughts and worldly desires. 

6. The philosophical basis. 
     We can think with our minds of two worldly things at the same time. We can, also, think of two spiritual truths at the same time. But we cannot think of one worldly thing and one supernatural truth at the same time because they contradict each other. When we think of money, of mountains and flowers, we cannot think of the steps on how to save our souls. St. Anthony of Padua could not become a saint in the Augustinian convent because he was distracted by the well trimmed gardens of the convent. He transferred to the Franciscan and there became a great saint because the Franciscan only had weeds in their gardens. 

7. The reward.
     The reward for those whose minds are completely devoid of worldly thoughts and whose hearts are devoid of worldly loves is that they will be able to think of everything necessary to save their souls; they will be able to obey all the commands necessary to save their souls, they will be able to enter the Catholic Church and finally they will, to some  degree  be happy here on earth and eternally happy in heaven.
    A single worldly or sinful thought will make a soul rich in spirit; and this alone will prevent him from entering the Church and heaven. Instead of having the Beatitude, such rich in spirit will have the first Woe. 

8. Pope Francis and his Francis bishops are not 'poor in spirit.' What do they think about? Global warming, adulteries in marriage, infidelity to God. And worst, instead of teaching people to be 'poor in spirit' and leave all things, they are encouraging everyone to go to Europe and grab everything they can, even the young girls.  Their concern are all worldly, The American bishops are now concerned with the worldly topic DACA. Though 'rich in spirit' and deserving of the first Woe, they think Trump is less Christian. Look who is talking. Deserving of the first Woe, most US bishops are outside the Catholic Church. Pope Francis is 'rich in spirit', St. Thomas would say, just because he cannot give up his Argentinian passport. 

9. The importance of being 'poor in spirit.'
     It is the entrance into the Catholic Church.  Christ required it from all his apostles. Peter and Andrew, Jame and John were described as having left all things, their nets, boats and even their father.
     Pope John Paul II's 'Veritatis Splendor' discussed extensively the importance of being 'poor in spirit' by quoting the Gospel narrative on the young rich man. Christ commanded him to go home, sell all things, including his passport  and follow Him. And St. Peter punished Ananias and Saphirra for having kept a little of their worldly possessions. 
     It will be observed that Pope Francis and most of the Francis bishops have not explained any spiritual doctrine. They are all involved in politics and other mundane issues. Cardinal Tagle of Manila is more concerned with drug addicts. That is not their field of expertise. What they should propose is the Catholic solution to drug addiction......which unfortunately most of them do not know. As they do not know, likewise the Catholic solution to criminality. The Catholic Church has the solution to all problems, and her role is to share these solutions with the world.  How come they are ignorant of it? They are rich in their worldly useless ideas but are ignorant of Heavenly ideas. Thus, Christ had deservingly hurled at them the four woes. 

10. There is a Catholic solution to all the problems of the world; from drug addiction to gay priests, from adulterous husbands to ignorant bishops, from starving continents to warring tribes. These solutions are in the supernatural order because all problems have a spiritual origin. And today, there is total ignorance of these solutions. That is why in the world, nothing works. And rightly had Pope Benedict mentioned that the Church is like a sinking ship. Or has it hit rock bottom?

LITURGICAL ABUSES .....On the use of BELLS.

 1. Objects can be used for multiple purposes.
     There is a psychological test for creativity where with we  find out the many ways an object can be used. The more uses the more creative a mind is. Like a toothpick; it can be used for the teeth, for scratching, for poking holes, for mixing tea, for lighting a cigaret, for picking pickles, to clean your ears and scratch your eyes. This list may show creativity, but definitely the last two shows stupidity. Creativity does not necessarily show wisdom. And this is clearer when it comes to object that have a limited use, like a pacer, which can't hardly be used for anything else than to aid the pace of the heart. Creativity may dictate a thousand use for the gadget but wisdom dictates that it can only be used for one purpose. 
      This is more so when we use worldly objects to  designate spiritual realities.  Baptism can only signify the taking away of original sin. The same goes for a bell. It has a very limited spiritual significance.
     A bell can be home for bats, for spiders, a weapon for those 'home alone.' But wisdom tells us that it should only be used for a spiritual purpose; at least in the Catholic Church. It should never be degraded by using it to make a political statement, which a few bishops and priest are always tempted to do to attract attention. 
     As St. Paul noted, the people are already confused because of the 'confusing sounds of the bugle' made by the bishops, what more when they add more confusing sounds of the bells. 
    The use of bells is governed by the rules of rubrics and tradition. These rules aim at spiritual upliftments as all Liturgical practices are meant to be. The liturgy had already been devastated by Liturgical abuses, misuse of sacred objects, omissions of gestures that cannot be understood. These were introduced by Liturgists from Sant Anselmo, the nest of the Bugnini Vatican work of Liturgical devastation. Removed by Pope Benedict, they migrated to the Diocese of Manila. There, the abuses spread like wild fire. And at present a new Liturgy made by a mere layman in the same school at the Aventine Hill is a thoroughly Protestant Liturgy ready to be approved by Pope Francis. 
     It is no surprise that this trend of Liturgical abuse is continued by the Cardinal of Manila; now by ringing church bells for ....what? We hardly ring bells today, not even the Sanctus bell; we don't even ring church bells to announce the death of bishops....and now we shall ring bells for .....whom? It is too political, too attention grabbing as if someone is campaigning for the next Conclave. Church bell are not meant for that purpose. 

2. How are bells used in the Catholic Church.
     Bells are used in Church to make a joyful noise to the Lord announcing that something supernatural is taking place. There are three elements in the right use of bells; first, it is a joyful noice. Secondly, it is made to praise the Lord. And thirdly, it announce a supernatural and spiritual happening. 
     The ringing of bells requested by Cardinal Tagle does not have any of these three requirements because it is a purely uninformed political statement. It does not have a philosophical or metaphysical argument, it does not have a theological statement. It is just an annoying statement to peeve the President. For a cardinal, it is so unbecoming, improper, uncharitable and divisive. As some journalists suspect, the cardinal is just positioning himself for the next conclave in which he is the favorite of Pope Francis, of which he is a communist clone. 

     In the Old Testament, bells are used only when entering the Holy of Holies. It is used to summon monks for worship or Divine Office. 
     In the provinces, it is a call for the faithful for Mass. It announces the most sacred moment of the Mass, the sanctus and consecration.
     It is a signal for all that something Divine and miraculous is occurring in the altar. It is an invitation to stop and adore God for a moment. 
     And there is when bells are used to announce the Angelus at 6:00 am., 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm. 

3. Bells for evangelization.
     Church bells, as mentioned, when rung, like during Angelus, is a very effective way of evangelization. The ringing of the bell during Consecration is a potent reminder of the Presence of God. And the tolling of the bell at a funeral is a great reminder of death.
      So the suggestion of the Cardinal is good? No, because  it is meant to simply object to what he is doing without giving any argument.

REGIME CHANGE - FIRST, OCCURED IN HEAVEN.

 1. The first 'regime change.'
      As predicted by Christ and allowed by God, the devils will be allowed to rule the world. They did so on Good Friday. It has been repeated many times in the history of men. And they will have a grand finale these days. The diabolic signs will be very obvious. Under the influence of the devil, everybody will be liars and murderers; 'the devil is a liar and a murderer from the beginning.' These are the two signs of spiritual possession. And one of the favorite sport of the devil is 'regime change.' 
     The first attempt at regime change occurred in heaven. It was led by some angels who later on became devils. It has  been  the official foreign policy  of the devils from that time on; and will be the same policy of all the co-horts of the devil until the end of time. Today, it is  practiced by the US and EU and fully approved by the UN. 
      Elections everywhere are nothing but mere regime change. Though we are given the impression that our votes work. God, sometimes, intervenes and uses  votes, but this is rare. Did votes dictate the result of the French election? Looks more like 'regime change,' and La Pen knows it. But she can't do anything. She is going against the devil, himself. 'This kind is fought with fasting and prayer.' 

2. How did the devil try 'regime change' in heaven.
     It is narrated that God created the angels and put them to the test, as God does to everybody including us; to see if they deserve to go to heaven or not. Upon seeing God reigning in heaven and doing what He wants and deciding what is good and evil as he wants, the devil thought that that was a great idea. To have a kingdom where one rules doing what he wants and deciding what is good and evil according to one's will. Lucifer wanted to go to heaven and do the same.  
     The devil wanted to take over such a kingdom. But he could not because it was the kingdom of God. So he did the exact opposite. St. Thomas of Aquinas quoting Dionysius wrote that he went on reverse mode; this is called an act of aversion which is contrary to conversion. This is what happened. Lucifer knew how to pass his test. It consist in subjecting himself to the rules God have given him to enter heaven.  Lucifer said; 'I do not want to be subject to Your rules. I will observe rules but I want to make my own rules. If you insist that I follow the rules of heaven, I would rather not play your game at all. 
      Scriptures states that Lucifer wanted to be like God; i.e. having his own kingdom, making his own rules and deciding on his own what is good and evil.  But it will be called hell. 
      Lucifer wanted, in effect, a regime change, making himself God (his expressed sin) and got what he wanted by getting his own kingdom but he got the opposite of God's kingdom. He got hell. He reigns there, now, like a god. He does what he wants and he decides what is right or wrong there. Now he is like god.

3. Today, everybody is like Lucifer because they are spiritually possessed by him. 
     Everybody wants his own kingdom, deciding what is right and wrong, answerable to no one. And will imposed what they want on anyone who refuses to be subject to them. If they refuse, lie to them or kill them. Everybody wants to act like gods but against the rules of the true God. 

4. Who is orchestrating regime change. 
     Men who are possessed by the highest angels, the seraphims, who were turned into devils. The devils entered these men because of their love of money (covetousness). They love money the root of all evil, so they are evil par excellence. Possessed by Lucifer due to their love of money, they propagate the love of money so other men might equally be possessed. These devils created this modern society where all men think of money which is totally against the advice of the Beatitudes.  Today, all men has a price. Pay the price and they will do anything, even go to hell. Scriptures had described these days, 'where men will be lovers of self and money.'That is what enabled Satan to enter Judas.
     These men and women rule the world, not the elected officials. And they only take orders from Lucifer. This state of affairs is allowed by God as a test for all men on who they will follow; God or these men. These men, like Lucifer, offers a kingdom here on earth. This kingdom is nothing but the prelude to hell. 

5. Examples of 'regime change.'
    Some Americans with order from this group assassinated the President of Ecuador Oscar Moreno; because he was too Catholic. More recently, the President of Vietnams was shot by CIA American agents in a CIA van and gradually gave Vietnam to the communist. This covetous group will work and use every evil person for their purpose.
     This diabolic group always remove good Catholics and replaces them with anyone who is evil. But the goal is identical; suppression of the true Church of Christ and installation of an evil replacement. 
     Saddam Hussein and Kaddafy had transformed their respective nation into prosperous cultures. But they were too kind to Christianity. The same with Assad who is very kind to the Orthodox Christians. No, the devil wants heads of states who are cruel towards Christianity. 
     Unsuccessful attempts have been tried on Putin because he is too Christian. Now, they are even under sanction by the US. For what? Because these covetous group said so. The recent useless bombing of a Syrian airport was because these diabolic group asked Ivanka to influence her father Trump to do it. Ivanka should listen more to her staunch Catholic mother than these devils. 
     The 'regime change' of Marcos before his planned transformation of the country into a first class nation was 'regime changed.' He and his wife were too Catholic. This head of a  sovereign nation was  practically kidnapped by the US. And the bishop of Manila erects a state in honor of the CIA and calls it Mary.  Mary had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was this lovers of self and money who did it because Marcos was going to dismantle their control over the Philippine economy. 
      Erap was convinced it was the US  CIA who had him removed. 
      President Kennedy, Robert and John John were disposed of by the same group. Newspapers had even published the name of those involved.  Kennedy because he was too Catholic. His last speech before his assassination was a program to eliminate the power of this group that even controls the Federal Reserve. Robert was stopped because he was going to run for President to continue dismantling this group. John John was killed because he was going to run for office and do the same. They were not fast enough. Scalia was too Catholic and this group needs to control the Justice Department for their nefarious activities. 
       This same group is after Trump because this president delivered a speech identical to the Kennedy speech before his assassination, promising to dismantle the group.   Now they want to assassinate Trump for the same reason. But we have here God's direct intervention saying 'enough is enough.' Let the Americans think of their soul for a while instead of mere material prosperity. So the last election and a chastisement, a cyclone to put them in the right mood. The Americans suddenly were forced to pray, fast and perform good works. It shows in all TV programs. That is called repentance. Of course, pure evil were still around; the looting, the paid demonstrations, the lies, the fake news. But the atmosphere of repentance is there. Most of the bishop were not helping and a few were even demonizing the President. Most uncharitable. Probably, also, possessed as the Pharisees on Good Friday?
     
6. Regime change in the Vatican. 
     'Regime change' had been planned by Lucifer since creation.  The first 'regime change' was with Adam and it worked. History is filled with it.  Pope Pius X added a cryptic note to it. He warned the Catholic world that they will try it in the Catholic Church. Anyone who can follow diabolic thinking should come to same conclusion; they will surely try it in the Vatican. In fact, they have been trying it on the Catholic Church. That's why there are more than 40 anti-popes. Pope Pius X warned the Catholic world that a very concrete plan was on to try to put a mole on the Papal throne. The Catholic Church had been waiting for it. And it had not happened until Pope Francis. The setting around his election, his background but more so in his papal conduct, suspicion is high that he was put there not by the Holy Spirit but by another spirit. 

7. And he himself said it.
     All reliable proofs of true Catholicity had been applied on him; the four visible signs mentioned in the Nicene Creed and the Patristic versions were applied on him. He does not have any of them. The spiritual and supernatural signs not available for  most had been applied to him and it could not be applied. Aside from these two ways of checking true Catholicity there is no other way.
     Then last week he said it himself. He said; 'we do not know who is part of the Church or not.' He said it, himself. He does not have any way by which he can know if he is a Catholic or not. And anybody for that matter. It has been what we have been writing in the past posts. We mentioned the fact that most cardinals, bishops, priests and laymen are not sure if they are Catholics or not because they do not know how to check if they are in or out. 
     Most do not know if they are in or out of the Church, including Pope Francis; he said it. But the fact of the matter is that you can know who is part  of the Church or not. Use the four visible signs mentioned in the Nicene Creed. And Pope Francis did not know that? A true Pope should know that because he is the first and most important man inside the Church. Unless we had a 'regime change' in the Vatican and we do not know it. Those attending the audiences of Pope Francis certainly do not know it. 



REGIME CHANGE - FIRST, OCCURED IN HEAVEN.

 1. The first 'regime change.'
      As predicted by Christ and allowed by God, the devils will be allowed to rule the world. They did so on Good Friday. It has been repeated many times in the history of men.

3. Today, everybody is like Lucifer because they are spiritually possessed by him. 
     Everybody wants his own kingdom, deciding what is right and wrong, answerable to no one. And will imposed what they want on anyone who refuses to be subject to them. If they refuse, lie to them or kill them. Everybody wants to act like gods but against the rules of the true God. 

4. Who is orchestrating regime change. 
     Men who are possessed by the highest angels, the seraphims, who were turned into devils. The devils entered these men because of their love of money (covetousness).

Pay the price and they will do anything, even go to hell. Scriptures had described these days, 'where men will be lovers of self and money.'That is what enabled Satan to enter Judas.
     These men and women rule the world, not the elected officials. And they only take orders from Lucifer. This state of affairs is allowed by God as a test for all men on who they will follow; God or these men. These men, like Lucifer, offers a kingdom here on earth. This kingdom is nothing but the prelude to hell. 

5. Examples of 'regime change.'
    Some Americans with order from this group assassinated the President of Ecuador Oscar Moreno; because he was too Catholic. More recently, the President of Vietnams was shot by CIA American agents in a CIA van and gradually gave Vietnam to the communist. This covetous group will work and use every evil person for their purpose.
     This diabolic group always remove good Catholics and replaces them with anyone who is evil. But the goal is identical; suppression of the true Church of Christ and installation of an evil replacement. 
     Saddam Hussein and Kaddafy had transformed their respective nation into prosperous cultures. But they were too kind to Christianity. The same with Assad who is very kind to the Orthodox Christians. No, the devil wants heads of states who are cruel towards Christianity. 
     Unsuccessful attempts have been tried on Putin because he is too Christian. Now, they are even under sanction by the US. For what? Because these covetous group said so.

       This same group is after Trump because this president delivered a speech identical to the Kennedy speech before his assassination, promising to dismantle the group.   Now they want to assassinate Trump for the same reason. But we have here God's direct intervention saying 'enough is enough.' Let the Americans think of their soul for a while instead of mere material prosperity. So the last election and a chastisement, a cyclone to put them in the right mood. The Americans suddenly were forced to pray, fast and perform good works. It shows in all TV programs. That is called repentance. Of course, pure evil were still around; the looting, the paid demonstrations, the lies, the fake news. But the atmosphere of repentance is there.

6. Regime change in the Vatican. 
     'Regime change' had been planned by Lucifer since creation.  The first 'regime change' was with Adam and it worked. History is filled with it.  Pope Pius X added a cryptic note to it. He warned the Catholic world that they will try it in the Catholic Church. Anyone who can follow diabolic thinking should come to same conclusion; they will surely try it in the Vatican. In fact, they have been trying it on the Catholic Church. That's why there are more than 40 anti-popes. Pope Pius X warned the Catholic world that a very concrete plan was on to try to put a mole on the Papal throne. The Catholic Church had been waiting for it. And it had not happened until Pope Francis. The setting around his election, his background but more so in his papal conduct, suspicion is high that he was put there not by the Holy Spirit but by another spirit. 

7. And he himself said it.
     All reliable proofs of true Catholicity had been applied on him; the four visible signs mentioned in the Nicene Creed and the Patristic versions were applied on him. He does not have any of them. The spiritual and supernatural signs not available for  most had been applied to him and it could not be applied. Aside from these two ways of checking true Catholicity there is no other way.
     Then last week he said it himself. He said; 'we do not know who is part of the Church or not.' He said it, himself. He does not have any way by which he can know if he is a Catholic or not. And anybody for that matter. It has been what we have been writing in the past posts. We mentioned the fact that most cardinals, bishops, priests and laymen are not sure if they are Catholics or not because they do not know how to check if they are in or out. 
     Most do not know if they are in or out of the Church, including Pope Francis; he said it. But the fact of the matter is that you can know who is part  of the Church or not. Use the four visible signs mentioned in the Nicene Creed. And Pope Francis did not know that? A true Pope should know that because he is the first and most important man inside the Church. Unless we had a 'regime change' in the Vatican and we do not know it. Those attending the audiences of Pope Francis certainly do not know it.

23 rd SUNDAY IN Ordinary Time. Fraternal correction and the 'DUBIA'

 1. The Liturgy.
     In the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Times, the training of the apostles had reached its finale. The apostles are close to graduation. Their knowledge is almost perfect except for a few loose ends. So the lessons taught during this time in the Liturgical season are finishing lessons and speaks about the highest virtue of Charity. 
     The highest expression of Charity is fraternal correction. In the first reading God, Himself, warns all that if a brother sins and he is not corrected, this negligence will be gravely punished. Parents who do not correct the sins of their children will be punished by God. 
     Then the second reading reminds us that obedience to all the commands of Christ is observed by loving one's neighbor, which is Charity. And the Gospel proceeds to state that fraternal correction is the highest form of love of neighbor.

2. Fraternal correction.
    Fraternal correction is the highest expression of Charity so it is difficult or impossible for most to do so. It is very complex to do so thus  correction is reserved to a few select Charitable person. 
    The necessary requirement for anyone to correct is , first, knowledge of all the commands of Christ; because correction is done by telling the person concerned the commandment of Christ he has disobeyed. So it implies knowledge of all the commands of Christ and this, precisely, is Faith. The person correcting must have great Faith in preparation for the act of Charity. 
      Secondly, the accompanying requirement to knowledge of the commandments is knowledge on how the commandments are put into practice; because fraternal correction means teaching the person concerned what commandment he had disobeyed and how to amend. Teach him how to obey the command of Christ. 

3. The main thing in fraternal correction is to enable the erring person to amend or repent. The erring person should, therefore, know what command of Christ he violated and how he disobeyed such a command. And he must know how to amend or obey correctly the command he violated. 
    For the correcting person to be able to do this, he must have a mature supernatural Faith. Otherwise he cannot give fraternal correction. And so, fraternal correction is only done by bishops. Parents or guardians can give fraternal correction if they have mature theological Faith. But since we live in a faithless age, there is a big problem. 
     Note that this command, to give fraternal correction can only be obeyed by those advanced in spirituality. That is why this exhortation is given after Easter and Pentecost because at this stage all the apostles were almost perfect in their knowledge of the teachings of Christ. 

4. Steps described in the Gospel. 
    Let us first go to the general steps the giver of fraternal correction  must take. First, there must be a serious sin that has been committed. The sinner must now be saved. Secondly, whoever knows of this sin must approach him and, in secret, just between them, show the sinner what command of Christ he disobeyed and how he disobeyed that command. The aim is for the sinner to amend his ways. In which case the sinner must know two things; a.) what commandment did he disobey and b.) how he disobeyed that command. 
     Secondly, if the one-on-one fraternal correction does not move the sinner to amend, then call another capable corrector in the hope that he can do a better job. If this still does not make the sinner amend then call on the Church. We have a problem with this last point; what if you cannot find the Church. Anyway, if you find the church and ask the Church to fraternally correct the sinner, what if it still does not work. Christ said; 'treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector. Let's stop here for a while and answer the question; 'did the four cardinals (now, only two left because Meisner and Carrafa just past away) follow proper procedure? If they did, did Pope Francis respond well.

5. The 'dubia.'
     The 'Dubia' works on the fact that something sinful is being propagated by Pope Francis that could bring million of souls to hell. That is very bad. The proposed exhortation encourages the diabolical sin of adultery. To encourage others to sin  is the most condemned sin in Scriptures called scandal; the sin when other people are encouraged to sin. The famed four cardinals worked on the assumption that Pope Francis forgot his Moral theology and committed a mistake in his Apostolic Exhortation 'Amores laetitia.' So the cardinals, doing their Christian obligation of fraternal correction politely presented a universal doubt that Pope Francis' 'Amores laetitia' will lead souls to hell. And so they asked the Pope whether he knows that. 
     As the Gospel demands, the letter was sent privately to Pope Francis. They were obliged  to do this under pain of their own damnation, as read in the first reading of this same Mass.  Upon receiving the very personal 'dubia' the Vatican office ridiculed the 'dubia' and made it public. It begun as a one on one clarification, but the Vatican made it public. So by force of circumstance, it became a public fraternal correction where the whole church was involved.....and the whole church expressed their own minds regarding the exhortation. 
     So, the four authors of the 'dubia' suddenly reached the end of the evangelical procedure and waited for the hoped for response of Pope Francis, either in the form of a clarification or an act of amendment. 
     Frankly, there was no need for clarification because the document 'amores laetitia' is very clear. An act of repentance should have been the response. Neither came up to now. 
     But as St. Augustine wrote; 'but sometimes, the correction makes the guilty harden their hearts further. In which case, the Gospel states, he must be treated as a Gentile or a tax collector. St. Thomas of Aquinas writes; 'to treat him as a Gentile and tax collector' means to remove him from the unity of the community.' In short, Pope Francis ceases to be a pope, a bishop......he ceases to be a Catholic. 

6. The 4 authors of the 'dubia,' and the response of Pope Francis.
     A detailed study of the commentary of this Gospel from St. Augustine and St. Thomas of Aquinas shows that the authors of the 'dubia. ' followed the proper procedure described in todays Gospel. They missed just one point. They have not declared Pope Francis as a Gentile and tax collector, i.e. that he is out of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis was slow in answering; the four cardinals is even slower in taking the next step so as to force an amendment of life. 
     As for Pope Francis, he did not give the desired response to the fraternal correction.......to amend his thinking and his actions. He did not even answer the questions in the dubia' that should take a first year philosophy seminarian an hour to answer. 
     In fact, he became more belligerent, punishing those who contradicted his 'amores laetitia.' If Christ said; he should not be treated like a Catholic, why do we call him pope Francis?

7. If all the above does not work, what?
    Christ said; 'let two or three gather in My name, the will I be and grant them anything whatever they ask, including the final conversion of Pope Francis. 
     Who are the two or three? When do they gather in the name of Christ? What will happen when they do the above? What else will happen?
     Answers. The two or three are two or three individuals who know all the commandments of Christ in the New Testament and have obeyed all of them. They gather when they get together and agree to pray on a very specific intention. Christ promised to be in their midst. With this arrangement, Christ will grant them whatever they pray for. 
     What a powerful sight! True Catholics praying together. With them nothing is impossible......even the conversion of an anti-pope. Well, it happened to St. Hypolitus, the anti-pope who became a saint.
