Idiocy of INC believers

Manalo belivers aka INC members, claim that the earthquake destroyed Catholic churches in Bohol because these are houses of worship for idols.

Ohh reaallly?

Perhaps they forgot to see that there were other buildings not of the Catholic Church that was destroyed also.

SO...

PLEASE stop making photo montage of damaged Catholic churches! It is creating an impression that the only buildings destroyed are those associated with the Catholic Church! There were other buildings destroyed as well!

Duh!  Why am I even answering these people.  To start with, they are with the INC.  Should you even be surprised they have that kind of logic?

Something the Iglesia ni Cristo will definitely NOT do!

Open the doors of their drabby chapels to shelter evacuees and poor people.

Why not?

Guinness will never have a World Record for this.

Thank you for doing the medical mission yesterday.  You showed your real colors!

As I have posted on my Facebook account: "The INC has found the solution to bloat the numbers for their "public show of force"

"Rice, Instant Noodles, Sardines"

SALVATION!!!"

Pray for Bohol

Please pause for a moment and pray for the people of Bohol.

This is the time we really need a sensible medical mission.

Not like what we had yesterday.

November 1 is All Saints Day, not All Evil Creatures' Day

Then why the heck do we even dress up our kids as evil creatures on All Hallows' Eve???

***

MANILA, Philippines - Roman Catholic dioceses can start a new tradition, a “march of saints” for Halloween, with children going around the neighborhood dressed up as their favorite saint, a group said yesterday.

“There is a growing concern among Christians, in general, that the modern celebration of Halloween threatens to take over the proper observance of All Saints’ (Day). Halloween’s powerful commercial appeal has largely succeeded in trivializing and even glamorizing evil, the occult, and superstitious and pagan practice and beliefs that are incompatible with the Christian faith,” the Prayer Warriors of the Holy Souls (PWHS) said in a statement.

The group is a national association of Catholic lay faithful and a member of the Sangguniang Laiko ng Pilipinas (Council of the Laity of the Philippines).

The group said many Catholics have become apprehensive over the thought that Halloween would replace the observance of All Saints’ Day on Nov. 1 and All Souls’ Day on Nov. 2.

The march of saints “is a tradition that has the potential to draw people’s attention away from glamorized symbols and personifications of evil and direct their focus on the heroic lives of the saints and their victory over evil by the grace of God,” the PWHS said.

The group said the march of saints would distract people from participating in “trick or treat” neighborhood visits and Halloween parties. Those participating in the march would also be in costume and could bring their own props as they go around the neighborhood, the PWHS said.

The group said there is an urgent need to reclaim the sacredness of All Saints’ Day and this could be accomplished by “creating a counterculture that will serve as a Christ-centered alternative to Halloween for the benefit of present and future generations.”

Hey!

I know some "guys" who dress up and pose like saints all year round.

Catholic Cosplay anyone?

As a parent, would you even find it fun to see your child a creature of evil???

No, I won't.

I'll be on the watch for my grandkids.

Spanish Martyrs beatified! New Pinoy Blessed!

The Spanish persecution of Catholics happened during the time of the young Fr. Josemaria Escriva.

It was shown in the movie "There be dragons".

One of those beatified is a Spanish who was born in the Philippines, the Capuchin martyr Blessed Jose Maria de Manila, born to Spanish parents in Manila.  His father was the last Spanish mayor of the City of Manila and received his education at the Ateneo, Letran and UST, all of which then were located in Intramuros.

Mumblings in the Sacristy: Liturgical expert berates a newly ordained!

Mumblings in the Sacristy!

A new series for first hand accounts about interesting side news about certain personalities...

First offering!

Our favorite liturgical expert...

After seeing photos of a young, newly ordained priest celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass, he stormed the convent of the priest and arrogantly told the young priest "Is this your understanding of Vatican II"?

Yes.  For that liturgical expert, everything started with Vatican II, forget about the past and what was taught before.

Yes, I find that weird because this liturgical expert likes to tell his students to always know that what we have now is the "pristine liturgy" as told by his students.

This liturgical expert is so full of himself, he thinks he can control every priest and every bishop of each diocese of the country just because he heads the Liturgy Commission of the Episcopal Conference of the Philippines.

Yes, even some priests and even some bishops told me how pissed they off at this priest who thinks he can just arrogantly order anyone to tow his line when it comes to the liturgy, so pissed that one high ranking prelate said "He doesn't even have canonical basis for his arrogance!  He does not have any authority to tell a bishop when and how he will celebrate the Mass, and most especially he does not have any authority whatsoever form whoever to tell a bishop or priest if he can or cannot celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass!"

Yes, my dear folks.  THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF CAREERISM!

The very thing that Pope Francis condemned.  Poor guy never for once worked as a parish priest and he has the gall to act as if he were already a bishop!

Ang Diwa ng Kayabangan ay Umaalingasaw hindi kayang itago. Para itong isang nabubulok na bangkay na hindi kayang itago!

UPDATE! Commemorative Medals recalled!

I noticed it too but did not mind it.

Well, obviously, the Holy See does not want the name "IESUS" be spelled as "LESUS".

So they are recalling the medals.

Like this one.

The Latin language does not have a letter "J".  The Holy Name of Jesus is spelled as "Iesus".

This is the correct rendition, like how the Jesuits write it.

BRAZEN THEFT OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT!!!

Nah. His name is not Robby Okol.

Here is the transcript of the video

***

It was a brazen, and blasphemous crime. A Catholic community in northern New Mexico is beside itself after a man burst into the adoration chapel at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, and stole something very precious to them.

The priest at Sacred Heart told News 13 this is the highest form of desecration he's seen. He made a plea to the burglar Tuesday afternoon before police arrested the suspect.

It's meant for prayer, a place of peace, open 24/7. So, when a man walked into the adoration chapel at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Española on Monday afternoon, the two people in there praying couldn't believe what he did.

"There is something so precious to us as Catholics that he has taken, and that is the Eucharist," explained Father Vitus Ezeiruaku, of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

The suspect police later identified as Isaac Morfin, made a b-line for the monstrance, which holds the Eucharist, then ran out the door, dropping part of it in the parking lot.

"We believe that Jesus is holy and entire in humanity and divinity, present in the holy Eucharist," explained Father Ezeiruaku. "So it means everything to us."

Detective  Solomon Romero of the Española Police Department said, ""We do believe that this individual may have been inside the chapel the day before, maybe looking at it or coming up with some sort of plan."

One worshiper followed the suspect around the corner, but the suspect got away.

Parishioners have had a hard time dealing with the crime.

"It is not just the Catholic Church alone, but this entire community, not just the parish alone, but the entire community, who see this as a place of refuge," explained Father Ezeiruaku.

"It's a small community, it's predominantly Catholic, it's extremely upsetting," added Detective Romero.

On Tuesday afternoon, police conducted a search warrant, and arrested 39-year-old Morfin for burglary and larceny.

"What he did is more than what he thinks, because he has touched the center of our belief, the center of our worship," said Ezeiruaku.

Before the arrest, the priest made a plea to the burglar.

"If he can find it in his heart to consider this community in pain and bring back what he has taken, I believe God's mercy follows him, and he will know the peace of God that he gives to those who say, Lord I am sorry."

Española police told News 13 late Tuesday afternoon the stolen monstrance and the Eucharist were recovered at Morfin's home. The monstrance suffered minor damage.
   
It's still unclear what the motive was for stealing it. Online court records show Morfin has a criminal record dating back more than a decade. The church had mass at 4 p.m. and a mass of atonement at 5:30 Tuesday. [That is done after a desecration had been done.  Before the liturgical revolt, public penance and atonement was REALLLY an act of penance and atonement for the entire parish.  But now.  Well....kumbaya!]

The Eucharist will be put back and the adoration chapel is still open.

See the wisdom why there were communion rails before?

And even though Vatican II did not mandate the destruction or removal of altar rails, they were removed for no apparent reason at all!  All in the name of modernity and the alleged spirit of Vatican II!

Again...contributing to the loss of the sense of the sacred.

I hope the church does something drastic to prevent this theft, life putting the monstrance behind iron grates or glass doors, etc.  This has been done here in some adoration chapels in the Philippines.

If this guy is a Catholic, then he must make to face a church tribunal for his crime.

But......will the OTHER guy who took home the Eucharist be disciplined by the Church?

Still waiting.

The Blessed Sacrament: if we only knew the great treasure we have

A new book by my favorite bishop on the Eucharist emphasizes the need to be aware of the great mystery and treasure we have right in front of us, in the tabernacle.  If we only knew, then we would behave properly.


***

Vatican City, Oct 8, 2013 / 04:39 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Bishop Athanasius Schneider has recently published his second book on Eucharistic devotion in the hopes that it will foster greater reverence for the sacrament amongst the faithful of his diocese.

“It is necessary to give a good catechism on what the Eucharist is because we have to be aware of it. Jesus said to the Samaritan woman 'if you knew the gift of God,'” the bishop said in a Sept. 27 interview with CNA.  [I believe this to be so.  I can see why people have lost the awe and reverence to the Eucharist because of our pastors dismal failure to catechize the laity after the "new Pentecost" promised by the Council. Not!]

Bishop Schneider, whose most recent book “Corpus Christi - Holy Communion and the Renewal of the Church” was published earlier this year, is the auxiliary bishop of Kazakhstan in Central Asia – a country whose religious population is roughly seventy percent Muslim, and thirty percent Christian.

During the interview, the bishop expressed the great need to be more reverent in the way that the Eucharist is treated, explaining that the aim of both of his books is to increase respect of the Sacrament, especially amongst the faithful in his diocese.

“If people only knew the greatness of the Eucharist. We have to stress its greatness in  homilies and in catechism,” he said.  [if priests only knew the great work they do...]

“When I recognize all the richness and deepness and divinity of the Eucharist of the Lamb of God, before whom the angels prostrate themselves in heaven – as we read in the Apocalypse – then I also have this spontaneous, natural desire to prostrate myself when I receive Him.”  [FTW!!!!  But with that we instead do this...click here.]

The bishop voiced his perspective that the Eucharist ought to be received in the mouth only, explaining that the tradition of receiving the Host in one’s hand “never existed in the Church,” and was “was invented by Calvinists in the seventeenth century,” but was not present in the first centuries.  [Communion in the hand is an invention as a statement of disbelief and therefore of disrespect!]

“There was communion received in the hand but in a totally different manner and I explain this in my second book (Corpus Christi).”

Referencing the lack of true devotion present in the attitudes of many in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, Bishop Schneider urged that “only when we try to cure this wound of the Eucharist, only then we will have a real and stable renewal of the Church. A springtime.”


***

The "super-dogma" Sacrosanctum Concilium called the Eucharist the "summit and source of christian life".

If that is so, then why we still have liturgical nonsense happening every Sunday and every Fiesta?

Why we still have the circus every Sunday live on TV?

I think we should all watch this.



Take note.

At the 13:56 mark, the great bishop called them "infidels".

So much for ecumenical mushy kumbaya politically correct language, no?

Ha!

And so since we are aware of the Sense of the Sacred, we have this at our Sunday Mass, regularly.

Hit it Fr. Mario!






Check out the batallion of EMHCs.

And the regular Sunday Tambourine Dancers.

Classy!

WE HAVE LOST RESPECT FOR THE HOLY OF HOLIES!
