"Only when one ceases to be their own person, and becomes
a person belonging to God, then he or she has value to God."
Mt 24:24 False messiahs and false prophets will arise and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive if that were possible even the elect.
2Pe 2:1 There were also false prophets among the people just as there will be false teachers among you who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them bringing swift destruction on themselves.
St. Thomas teaches where there is public scandal that poses a danger to the Faith or to the common good of the Church it is an act of charity to rebuke in public even one's superior for causing that scandal – including the Pope himself as St. Paul did with St. Peter when Peter scandalously refused to eat with the very Gentiles he was supposed to be converting. (Gal 2:11ff)
All the more does charity require one priest to rebuke his
fellow priest publicly when public scandal has been given.
2Co 11:14 And no wonder, even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
VATICAN CITY, SEPT. 4, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI confirmed the importance of interreligious prayer meetings for peace and emphasized that, to be coherent, they must respect the various religious traditions while avoiding syncretism.
With rare, if any exceptions bishops fail to publicly oppose politicians offensive to God according to Catholic teachings. Failure to name politicians and their offenses that correctly informs Catholics that they commit mortal sin by voting for them makes such bishops direct accomplices of gays, lesbians, pedophiles, abortion providers, seekers and their accomplices, etc. Thus they are condemned along with the evildoers.
- Introduction
- Testing the Spirits
- Understanding and resolving problems
- Understanding personal accountability
On April 1, 2003 the diocese of San Bernadino California filed a civil lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Boston Massachusetts. This was reported in the New York Times and not as an April fool's joke. How much further can the Church go down the slippery slope of secularization than this.
"Do you not know that we will judge angels? Then why not everyday matters? If, therefore, you have courts for everyday matters, do you seat as judges people of no standing in the church?" [1 Cor. 6:3-4]
The fact that this is happening in the Catholic Church is a clear sign that there is much wrong. Recent popes have been servants of Satan. Benedict XVI and bad bishops should be quickly removed by whatever means is necessary for the good of the Holy Church of Jesus our Lord. A heretic, even if a pope, is not entitled to protection by Canon Law. Popes, like everyone else, are judged by their words, actions, and failures to act in a reasonable and timely manner.
Cowards will be among the first to be judged into Hell! "But as for cowards, the unfaithful, the depraved, murderers, the unchaste, sorcerers, idol-worshipers, and deceivers of every sort, their lot is in the burning pool of fire and sulfur, which is the second death." [Rev. 21:8]
* "There shall be no temple harlot among the Israelite women, nor a temple prostitute among the Israelite men. You shall not offer a harlot's fee or a dog's price as any kind of votive offering in the house of the LORD, your God; both these things are an abomination to the LORD, your God. [Deut. 23:17-18]
*[17-18] The pagans believed that they could enter into special relationship with their gods and goddesses by having sexual relations with the pagan priests and priestesses who prostituted themselves for this purpose. The money paid for this was considered a sort of votive offering made to the pagan sanctuary. Such abominations were naturally forbidden in Israel. A dog’s price: the money paid to the pagan priest for his indecent service. + [1 Kings 14:24; 2 Kings 23:7]
There were also cult prostitutes in the land. Judah imitated all the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the Israelites' way. [1 Kings 14:24]
He tore down the apartments of the cult prostitutes which were in the temple of the LORD, and in which the women wove garments for the Asherah. [2 Kings 23:7]
Priests, bishops, and popes are to be given the initial respect that is due to moral holders of priestly office. But, with the passage of time they are to be evaluated according to the authenticity of their teachings and subsequent actions to see if they act to reinforce the teachings presented.
There is but one Good Shepherd and that is Jesus Christ. Other priests serve under Jesus and are intended to be representative shepherds following in His footsteps. The reality however is that many shepherds are no more than hired hands. [Jn. 10:11-13]
Many sinners seek and obtain holy office but are no more than hirelings taking what they want while leading multitudes astray. The Jews' high priest and his associates of Jesus' time are excellent examples of false shepherds (wolves in sheep's clothing). Most current shepherds –including non-moral pope Benedict XVI– are little different than then existed.
- "Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." [1 John 4:1]
The following are reasonable considerations that should be taken into account in order to classify a bishop as qualified or disqualified for office:
In general – Is he conversant with and does he accept, teach, and generally practice the entirety of Sacred Scripture including the penalties contained therein in accordance with the requirements of office as stated at the time of ordination?
- "All scripture (this passage references the Old Testament as the New Testament was not yet formulated) is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness," [2 Tim. 3:16]
- Does he teach without limitation the initial command of God, "Be fertile and multiply." [Gn. 1:28] – To avoid needless discussion let it now be stated that this refers to those who live in the state of moral marriage. All others are to be celibate. Failure to be celibate may in some cases warrant both temporal (mortal) and eternal (suffering in hell) death penalties.
- Does he follow the precedent (pattern) set by God in the Bible of increasing the use of death penalties that began with no death penalty for premeditated murder; then to the death penalty for murder only; and then to multiple commands for the death penalty? This sequence was established in the Old Testament and reinforced in the New Testament. Does he de emphasize the importance of these penalties saying they are no longer necessary in modern societies while falsely believing that basic human nature has changed, or that God only makes temporary rules (not good for all time even though He exists in all of time as the same unalterable being)? Would this not in effect be saying that God treats people differently according to the period of time in which they have mortal life?
- Does he ordain homosexuals and others not morally qualified to be priests?
- Does he publicly discipline repentant clergy who have taught error or committed a public offense not demanding removal from office?
- Does he immediately remove from office, along with all benefices (income, entitlement, position) those who have committed grave offense that has subjected them to automatic excommunication or other major offense that has demonstrated that they had not been moral priests from the date of ordination?
- Has he in any way protected a grave offender such as a pederast, pedophile, ephebophile, adulterer, or abuser of financial trust?
- Has he taken unjust action against a priest or religious who has presented or defended an unpopular truth?
- Has he publicly opposed politicians and other public figures who have acted against common moral values or otherwise supported that which the Church teaches is gravely wrong such as abortion, active homosexuality, or any form of birth control?
- Has he desecrated the Holy Eucharist by giving Jesus to a known public sinner or has he failed to remove from ministry one who has knowingly done so?
- Has he treated other religions in a manner that sends a message that they have creditability in God's sight?
- Has he even indirectly endorsed organizations such as freemasonry or one of their affiliates?
- Has he funded the misdeeds of another bishop in relation to sexual offenses committed by clergy or religious who are under financial duress for protection of morally grave criminals?
- Does he believe and acknowledge that omission of just action can and often is more destructive to the faith than overt action? (Satan is the father of lies because he is the master of deception: covert activity using partial truths – making presentations not intended to be enforced – through pius appearance as opposed by Jesus in Matthew 23.)
- "Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens (hard to carry) and lay them on people's shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them. All their works are performed to be seen. They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation 'Rabbi.'" [Mt. 23:3-7]
Temporal Signs that a priest is not morally ordained and should be investigated.
Some problems in the Catholic Church date back many centuries. Placing these problems into perspective is seen as a preliminary process for the faithful to properly comprehend what has happened, and how they can be prevented in the future. The perceived sequence for doing this follows this pattern:
- Understanding God's Qualities (who, what, when, where, why, and how of God).
- God's goal in relation to His creation of intelligent beings.
- Reason for His wanting to have a relationship with us.
- God's instructions to us are necessary for having a correct relationship with Him. (Old and New Testaments, or, teachings presented by moral priests never to be in disagreement with Holy Scripture)
- Providing temporal authorities to help us build a proper relationship with Him. (Church and civil authorities – God's teachings [Scripture] must always take precedence)
- Understanding the limitations of temporal authorities, including limitations existing in relation to the office of pope. (See link below)
- Our responsibilities in relation to God, Church teachings, and authorities. (Bible)
- Rewards and consequences. (Old and New Testaments)
This web site has been designed as a method of helping people interested in salvation to be aware of, and to understand their part in accountability for, the many problems of the Church which they, through failure to accept the fullness of God's teachings, have responsibility in addition to that which belongs to Church leaders. The axiom that "ignorance of the law is no excuse," applies to religious matters as well as to civil law. These pages have been designed with the thought of encouraging people of faith to accept responsibility, for their part, relating to the problems in both the contemporary Church and in the world.
If I say to the wicked man, You shall surely die; and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his wicked conduct so that he may live: that wicked man shall die for his sin, but I will hold you responsible for his death. If, on the other hand, you have warned the wicked man, yet he has not turned away from his evil nor from his wicked conduct, then he shall die for his sin, but you shall save your life.
If a virtuous man turns away from virtue and does wrong when I place a stumbling block before him, he shall die. He shall die for his sin, and his virtuous deeds shall not be remembered; but I will hold you responsible for his death if you did not warn him. When, on the other hand, you have warned a virtuous man not to sin, and he has in fact not sinned, he shall surely live because of the warning, and you shall save your own life. [Ezekiel 3:18-21]
Each person is accountable to God for conditions they should have known about and have allowed to continue. Positing the question, in attempted self-defense, "What could I have done, I am only one person?" will not be found acceptable on judgement day. Anyone who has a real interest in God and in salvation will make repeated efforts at doing something. With God inaction and neutrality are not options. We are judged upon what we are capable of doing beyond normal daily responsibilities.
Distinguishing Moral Priesthood from Legal Only Priesthood
These distinctions apply to priests and those with the rank of bishop
with additional distinctions made regarding the papal office.
2Pe 2:1 There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Gal 2:4 but because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, that they might enslave us--
2Pe 2:1 There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
Col 2:20 If you died with Christ to the elemental powers of the world, why do you submit to regulations as if you were still living in the world?

Priest's Current Debt is in excess of $50,000.00
Unlike pedophiles this priest has no income from his archdiocese.
His public faculties –by edict– were rescinded without formal charges being made.
The Crime: Defending morally justifiable protection for the unborn.
An unpopular position not considered "Politically Correct."
Pope John Paul II's Vatican theologians have been equally divided on the unpopular position. But Archbishop Oscar Lipscomb, a protector of pedophiles who still receive archdiocesan financial support — in addition to costs associated with their grave immoral activities, has taken away income from one who has not opposed any defined Catholic Church teaching.
