Selling off the rich heritage of The Church is a ‘one-trick pony’. We know very little of it would reach the genuine poor. But what then? Once it’s gone, it’s gone. And Jesus Himself said that Mary had the better part over Martha. But it all depends, as you say, whether it’s for the glory of God or man. A Cathedral is generally a gesture by the people of God to His Glory. What on Earth is a churchman doing going around with obscenely expensive jewellery? Who is he trying to get people to be impressed by, God or himself?
Has anyone seen this... Starting a city council meeting in such a manner. How far we have fallen: https://wng.org/sift/city-council-meeting-in-iowa-opens-with-prayer-to-satan-1791409618
Some of the Church Fathers believed that the figure of the "Katechon",the force or power restraining the rise of the Antichrist was, already in Paul’s apostolic age, the Roman Empire. Ironically, throughout history, the papacy could be seen as a historical continuation of the Empire that Jesus converted and to which He entrusted the kingdom that had previously belonged to the Jews. The papal title "Pontifex Maximus" and the so-called “royal scarlet vestments” would be powerful symbols of this continuity. I think that, throughout history, the papacy has manifested some of the darker aspects of both the Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Israel. The figure of the pope-king, at the expense of the pope as shepherd, could be seen as an indirect consequence of the fall of the Roman Empire, which had served as an instrument of support for the first seven Ecumenical Councils. Matthew 21:43 43 Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
Seems to me that Russia is up to no good. What exactly is going on in this lab if they are experimenting with bio weapons. It has been reported that Doxycycline is very effective in treating this bacteria if caught early.
Thanks be to God for the one fellow who sat down, and the person who demanded reparation. We are entering a time in which many of us will have to be courageous and stand up for Christ and Truth in the face of actual demonic pagans.
One of the Gospels recently made me sit up and take notice. It was on prayer. Matthew 7:9-11 9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! It suddenly came to me that God really, really does hear our prayers and answer them! You may well say, of course he does, stupid, did you not know that? But it is one thing to know in the head and know in the heart. I suddenly got the grace to see it at least for a little while that it really is true; God does here and answer. If we invoke demons we know they hear and answer. As Padre Pio said there are so many demons that if we were to look upwards they would black out the sky . So when we invoke demons we pull back the curtain and permit them to enter. a terrible thing. But as praying to God brings blessings, invoking demons brings down a curse. So we may expect the most terrible events to occur in the State of Iowa.
People who invoke demons remind me of little children who reach up and pull a pot of boiling hot water down on their heads. May God forgive them they know not what they do.
