1. The coming of the Just King.
Many have experienced injustice in the world. Those victims of stealings, of terrorism, of scams, of lies, of false flags, of wars....etc. When will they get justice? Today, on the Feast of Christ the King. All the guilty will be punished according to what they deserve. The righteous will be vindicated. With a Divine Judge holding court, each sentence will be perfect.
2. All men will be judged.
All men will be judged based on God's commandments as taught in Scriptures which all men around the world can learn; either from books, preachers or the internet. No one can give the excuse that the commandments were impossible to know.
That day is called 'the day of the Lord.' It will be an awesome sight because Jesus Christ will come accompanied by the angels. This will fill both the good and the bad with awesome fear.
All men will be divided into four parts. First; the first two will not be judged. The second two will be judged. The latter is what is described in the Gospel which Christ will separate, one, to His right and, the other to His left. The ones in the right, the sheep, will be rewarded by going to heaven. The ones in the left , the goat, will be punished with everlasting fire.
3. Those who are already judged.
There will be four groups. The first two are already judged so they will no longer be judged at the General last judgment. The first is already judged to go to heaven even before they die. The second is already judged to go to hell even before they die. So they will skip the Last Judgment. Christ, Himself said regarding the first, 'there is no condemnation.' To the second Christ said, 'there are already condemned.'
4. The first who are already judged to go to heaven.
The apostles asked Christ what will they receive for having followed Him. And Christ said, 'mansions are already reserved for you in heaven.' And they were still alive when Christ promised this to them, meaning, that they were no longer in danger of going to hell because they had been judged worthy to go to heaven; except for Judas. The rest of the apostles were already judged to go to heaven so they will no longer be judged again at the Last General Judgment. In fact, they will be with Christ judging the rest of the world.
5. Who are these?
Who are these people who are already judged to go to heaven even before they die? These are souls who are united to Christ, like the apostles excepting Judas. Most of the saints are like these. And Christ would want us to be like this. In fact, this is why Christ invited the young rich man of the Gospel to be; but which he could not. For such kind of people Christ promised that they will rise up with Christ at His coming and join Him to judge the whole world. They will not be judged because they will be the judges.
6. What have they done to deserve this singular gift?
They all obeyed the command of Christ to 'go home, sell all your things, give it to the poor and come follow Me.' To be more complete, 'to go home, sell all your possessions, give it to the poor, take up your cross and come follow Me.' In short, to obey the complete teachings of the Gospel of Christ.
This is what Christ commanded the apostles to teach; 'teach them all My commands and how to obey them.' That is the Apostolic Commission. And all who know and obey all the commands of Christ will be judged to deserve heaven and will no longer be judged again at the General Judgment at the end of the world.
7. Those who are already condemned.
Just as there are souls that are already saved because even while still alive here on earth they have been judged already by God as deserving to go to heaven, there are people, also, still alive here on earth who have been judged by God as deserving to be punished in hell while still alive here on earth. The words Christ used to describe them is, 'they are already condemned.'
How come they are already condemned? Because they have not gone home, sold all their possessions and given it to the poor; they have not taken up their cross, and they have not followed Christ.
8. Further explanation why the first group is already saved while the second is already condemned.
To be able to go home, sell all your things and give it to the poor, one would need supernatural graces from God. Without this grace that comes with the theological virtue of Faith, Hope and Charity, it will be impossible for anyone to do it. Remember one has to give up all material possessions and worldly thoughts and desires. This is the complete meaning of the command of Christ.
When a person has received God's grace that will enable him to go to home, sell his possession and give it to the poor, the same grace is increased to enable him to take up the cross and follow Him. This is all the work of grace with the cooperation of man's will.
The second group have never prayed for grace or have not done anything to deserve the grace. So they will not be able to go home, sell all their possessions and give it to the poor. All the more they cannot take up their cross and follow Christ because they will find it too distasteful.
Instead of doing the steps just mentioned above, they will tend to do the exact opposite; which will be the reason for their condemnation.
9. The third and fourth groups.
These two are the ones who will line up before Christ during the General Judgement. It is among them that Christ will direct some to His right and the others to His left.
The Catholic religions is teaching that we must aim at being in the first group that will not be judged. The Popes, bishops, and priest must be in the first group and must aim that all their followers in the parish and diocesan level aim at being in the first group. Religious orders must aim at being in the first group. The rest can only hope they can accidentally fall into the first group. Of course we must all avoid being with the second group that had been condemned.
The third group are those who cannot go home, sell their possessions and give it to the poor. They are deeply involved with worldly matters and with their worldly possession. But they strive to share their worldly possession with 'the least of the brethren of Christ. It is their sharing with the 'least of the brethren of Christ' that will put them at the right side of Christ and eventually salvation.
The fourth group are those who cannot go home, etc...They are also involved with worldly possession and share them with the less fortunate. But they have not shared anything, food, clothing or shelter to the 'least of the brethren of Christ.' It is their inability to share with the 'least of the brethren of Christ that will put them at the left side of Christ and eventual condemnation.
10. The 'least of the brethren of Christ.'
These words are the biggest stumbling block of Pope Francis which makes his FrancisGospel totally wrong and, therefore, totally unCatholic. It is the description of 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' The work of mercy mentioned in the Gospel which is the basis for judgment, namely, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, etc.. were not to be directed to anybody in need like strangers, paupers, lepers, sinners, etc. The recipient of the good works must be the 'least of the brethren of Christ. Who are these?
One day, Christ was informed that His mother and brethren were outside waiting for Him. On that occasion Christ defined who is His mother and His brethren. He said; ' My mother and My brethren are those who obey My commandments.' Those in the right of Christ will go to heaven because they fed, clothe and gave shelter to people who obey the commandments of Christ. Not to those who are ignorant or disobedient to the commands of Christ. Again, 'the least of the brethren of Christ' are those who obey the commands of Christ.
What will make them deserving to be on the right side of Christ is not so much as that they fed, or gave drink to someone. That someone is not anybody. That someone is someone who obeys the commandments of Christ!
11. Giving food and drink to others.
We are obliged to give food and drink to all who are in need, even to our own enemies and enemies of the Catholic Faith. We can do good works to sinners, pagans, murderers, adulterers, fornicators, etc. Though these are good works, the recipients of these good works are not the ones that will make us worthy to be on the right side of Christ.
To find a true 'the least of the brethren of Christ' is near impossible; but it is possible. Anyone who who knows all the commands of Christ will easily detect 'the least of the brethren of Christ,' and thus equally and easily perform the necessary work of mercy to them.
But if we do not know the commands of Christ? The safe thing to do is to do good works to all in need in the hope that one of them is 'the least of the kingdom of God.' In such a case, St Paul wrote, that God, seeing your holy desire, will either sent you a person who is obedient to the commandments of Christ or, in its absence, an angel, for you to fulfil this wonderful act that will put you in the right side of Christ.
12, Pope Francis and 'the least of the brethren of Christ.'
Pope Francis had almost always misinterpreted every word of Scriptures and he has misinterpreted the most these words 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' Here he includes criminals, homos, lesbians, Jews, pagans, immigrants. His list contains people who are ignorant of the commands of Christ, people who are committing sins against the commandment of Christ or even killers of people obedient to the commands of Christ. These are people that do not fall under 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' Pope Francis is telling us to feed, give drink and shelter people and immigrants who kill the 'least of the brethren of Christ.' That should bring Pope Francis and those who follow him to the left of Christ. Guess where they are going.

The face of the Catholic Church - Thursday, 33rd Week in Ordinary Time.
1. The Catholic Church as the kingdom of God.
We have often mentioned that the Scriptures is a prophetic book informing us of the past, the present and the future. This makes the Catholic Church the only Church established by God because only God knows the past, the present and the future. God make it so, so that the Church can, always, be prepared for any eventuality.
The future is known in eschatology which together with the past and the present is taught by Holy Mother the Church in her Liturgy. One of the important eschatological lessons in the Liturgy is about the Kingdom of God, which is the Catholic Church.
2. The kingdom of God after Easter and Pentecost.
After the Liturgical season of Easter and Pentecost, the Liturgy had be dealing with the 'kingdom of God.' The 'kingdom of God' is the Catholic church. Why the many Gospels about the kingdom of God? Because the very salvation of man depends on whether he is inside the Catholic Church or not. So almost the repetitious discussion on all the aspects on the kingdom of God. The most important aspect of the kingdom is first; how does it look like. Second how does the world around it look like. Thirdly, how do the ones inside look like. Fourthly, how do the ones outside look like. This vast information is more than enough for any Catholic to know if he is inside or outside; and, therefore, whether he will be saved or not.
3. How will the Catholic Church look like today.
Prophetically, the Catholic Church will look this way today. The Gospel of the Thursday of the 33rd week in Ordinary time states; 'Christ beheld the city, and wept over it.' The city is Jerusalem or Sion, which is mystically the Catholic Church. Christ looked at the Catholic Church today and wept over it. I, too, weep over the state of the whole Church today under the Papacy of Pope Francis and I do not see much. How much more Christ who see more?
That Christ wept shows the great misery the Catholic Church would be in during these days. It will be evil times because the world today does not know what will bring it peace. In the world's great love for money it has cause countless wars in the national scale and even within the family.
With know it, the world's pursuant of its worldly goals is leading towards a great catastrophe hidden from its eyes. 'it is hidden from thine eyes.'
4. 'Thy enemies shall cast as trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side.
As it i already happening, the enemies of the Catholic Church has surrounded her, compass her around and attacking her on every side.
The entire secular world headed by its heads, is against the Church; starting with the US, followed by Europe. This is followed by the entire pagan world; Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Then followed by all non-Catholic religions; the Protestants. And finally by its own members; the nominal Catholics headed by Pope Francis.
5. A Church besieged.
Christ weeps as He views Jerusalem because the city did not know the time of His visitation, i.e. it's judgment. It is a pitiable sight to see a person die unprepared. Jerusalem will soon be under siege and totally destroyed by the Romans as a chastisement for having crucified their Messiah. The Jews thought they could do something like that and get away with it. Christ wept because God hastens in His judgment and chastisements.
While Jerusalem would be totally destroyed after a siege, the Catholic Church would undergo something similar; because both were guilty of unbelief. "When the Son of Man comes, do you think He will find Faith on the earth?" Like on Good Friday, He will not find Faith on the earth, Maybe a very small group but not enough for God to delay His punishment.
Jerusalem under went a physical brutal siege. Prophetically, the Catholic Church will undergo a brutal spiritual siege. The Gospel states; 'the enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on eve3ry side. In a siege the enemies will surround the city not allowing any food and drink to enter or go out to starve the city unto submission.
Today, the Catholic Church will be surrounded spiritually so that no knowledge of Divine Truth on the salvation of soul can enter inside the Church. The Church will starve due to the absence of Divine food and drink. No one will feed the Church, neither priests, neither bishops nor Pope Francis. The little who will try to teach will be suppress. The spiritual siege will totally starve the Church.
As of now, Pope Francis had not even mentioned the name of Jesus Christ and any of his high profile speeches, like the UN. He has not reminded the Church the commandments of Christ and in fact is telling the Church to disobey the New Testament commands. He has not explained of taught any dogmas of the Church because he himself said in one of his first speeches that dogmas are not needed. His messages are purely in the natural sphere, like global warming and immigration, and he is not very good in those topics because these topics are not learned in the seminary. He does not even remember what he learned in the seminary, how can he know something not taught in the seminary.
In the Catholic Church there is complete starvation in matters of dogma, morals and spirituality. Nobody knows the way to heaven. The Church had become a pitiable sight; reason for Christ to weep.
6. And Christ continues; 'and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee.'
Due to the great starvation, men, women and children will be lying on the ground. Due to their total lack of spiritual knowledge everyone will be worldly. St. Augustine described them as similar to pigs whose eyes are always looking down on the ground. Their eyes are not up to heaven but only on earthly things enjoyed in the ground. That describes the whole world; thinking only of worldly concerns, on things on the ground.
7. The Church believe in walls.
The church is like a vineyard. This similitude is often mentioned in the parables. And this vineyard, as the Psalm describes it, must have a fence to keep pigs and other animals from destroying the vineyard. And God usually punishes the unfaithful workers of the vineyard by removing the fences to allow the animals to devastate the vineyard.
The early Fathers described the Church as a stone building. These days, Christ warned, no one stone will be upon another stone. See the devastation that will occur and is already occurring in the Church today. To state that 'not one stone will be upon another stone' is almost saying that the Church will almost disappear from the face of the earth.
8. Where is the Church.
In the book of the Maccabees, Judas looked for salvation in the desert. The Chosen people were brought by God to the desert. The first Christians went to the desert. The desert had become the impregnable wall that protected the Church.
We must look for the Church and enter her. Our salvation depends on her. Scriptures tells us where to look for her and how she looks like. No excuse.
We have often mentioned that the Scriptures is a prophetic book informing us of the past, the present and the future. This makes the Catholic Church the only Church established by God because only God knows the past, the present and the future. God make it so, so that the Church can, always, be prepared for any eventuality.
The future is known in eschatology which together with the past and the present is taught by Holy Mother the Church in her Liturgy. One of the important eschatological lessons in the Liturgy is about the Kingdom of God, which is the Catholic Church.
2. The kingdom of God after Easter and Pentecost.
After the Liturgical season of Easter and Pentecost, the Liturgy had be dealing with the 'kingdom of God.' The 'kingdom of God' is the Catholic church. Why the many Gospels about the kingdom of God? Because the very salvation of man depends on whether he is inside the Catholic Church or not. So almost the repetitious discussion on all the aspects on the kingdom of God. The most important aspect of the kingdom is first; how does it look like. Second how does the world around it look like. Thirdly, how do the ones inside look like. Fourthly, how do the ones outside look like. This vast information is more than enough for any Catholic to know if he is inside or outside; and, therefore, whether he will be saved or not.
3. How will the Catholic Church look like today.
Prophetically, the Catholic Church will look this way today. The Gospel of the Thursday of the 33rd week in Ordinary time states; 'Christ beheld the city, and wept over it.' The city is Jerusalem or Sion, which is mystically the Catholic Church. Christ looked at the Catholic Church today and wept over it. I, too, weep over the state of the whole Church today under the Papacy of Pope Francis and I do not see much. How much more Christ who see more?
That Christ wept shows the great misery the Catholic Church would be in during these days. It will be evil times because the world today does not know what will bring it peace. In the world's great love for money it has cause countless wars in the national scale and even within the family.
With know it, the world's pursuant of its worldly goals is leading towards a great catastrophe hidden from its eyes. 'it is hidden from thine eyes.'
4. 'Thy enemies shall cast as trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side.
As it i already happening, the enemies of the Catholic Church has surrounded her, compass her around and attacking her on every side.
The entire secular world headed by its heads, is against the Church; starting with the US, followed by Europe. This is followed by the entire pagan world; Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Then followed by all non-Catholic religions; the Protestants. And finally by its own members; the nominal Catholics headed by Pope Francis.
5. A Church besieged.
Christ weeps as He views Jerusalem because the city did not know the time of His visitation, i.e. it's judgment. It is a pitiable sight to see a person die unprepared. Jerusalem will soon be under siege and totally destroyed by the Romans as a chastisement for having crucified their Messiah. The Jews thought they could do something like that and get away with it. Christ wept because God hastens in His judgment and chastisements.
While Jerusalem would be totally destroyed after a siege, the Catholic Church would undergo something similar; because both were guilty of unbelief. "When the Son of Man comes, do you think He will find Faith on the earth?" Like on Good Friday, He will not find Faith on the earth, Maybe a very small group but not enough for God to delay His punishment.
Jerusalem under went a physical brutal siege. Prophetically, the Catholic Church will undergo a brutal spiritual siege. The Gospel states; 'the enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on eve3ry side. In a siege the enemies will surround the city not allowing any food and drink to enter or go out to starve the city unto submission.
Today, the Catholic Church will be surrounded spiritually so that no knowledge of Divine Truth on the salvation of soul can enter inside the Church. The Church will starve due to the absence of Divine food and drink. No one will feed the Church, neither priests, neither bishops nor Pope Francis. The little who will try to teach will be suppress. The spiritual siege will totally starve the Church.
As of now, Pope Francis had not even mentioned the name of Jesus Christ and any of his high profile speeches, like the UN. He has not reminded the Church the commandments of Christ and in fact is telling the Church to disobey the New Testament commands. He has not explained of taught any dogmas of the Church because he himself said in one of his first speeches that dogmas are not needed. His messages are purely in the natural sphere, like global warming and immigration, and he is not very good in those topics because these topics are not learned in the seminary. He does not even remember what he learned in the seminary, how can he know something not taught in the seminary.
In the Catholic Church there is complete starvation in matters of dogma, morals and spirituality. Nobody knows the way to heaven. The Church had become a pitiable sight; reason for Christ to weep.
6. And Christ continues; 'and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee.'
Due to the great starvation, men, women and children will be lying on the ground. Due to their total lack of spiritual knowledge everyone will be worldly. St. Augustine described them as similar to pigs whose eyes are always looking down on the ground. Their eyes are not up to heaven but only on earthly things enjoyed in the ground. That describes the whole world; thinking only of worldly concerns, on things on the ground.
7. The Church believe in walls.
The church is like a vineyard. This similitude is often mentioned in the parables. And this vineyard, as the Psalm describes it, must have a fence to keep pigs and other animals from destroying the vineyard. And God usually punishes the unfaithful workers of the vineyard by removing the fences to allow the animals to devastate the vineyard.

The BISHOPS are wrong AGAIN. Sanctuary cities.
1. Monkeys imitate without thinking.
And some parrots, also, imitate human sound but do not think. Man is not supposed to act like monkeys and parrots because man has a soul and spiritual faculties, the intellect and the free will.
Man must use his intellect before doing anything with his free will. He must make a sound judgment. Christ said; 'judge all things if they are of God.' But of course, some one contradicted Christ by asking; ' who am I to judge?' You are a man so you must judge all things! Unless you are a direct descendant of the monkey.
2. Who thinks.
All men think unless his intellect is blinded with pride. With the sin of pride man becomes intellectually blind. He still thinks but all his reasoning lacks goodness, thus all his reasoning is wrong. The proud man cannot know what is good and what is right. He only knows what is evil and what is wrong and will necessarily chose only what is evil and what is wrong. The free will will chose only what it knows.
3. Powerful propaganda.
The most advertised way of life is the life in the US and in a lesser degree, life in Europe. And all media is geared on advancing this way of life. Hollywood is in the forefront in disseminating this way of life that can, theologically, be described as original sin. And who is behind that forbidden tree? Satan.
There is a very powerful group of men that really rules the world; they are not the heads of states who are just the puppets of these men. In fact these men dies and are changed by other like-minded men. Their agenda is identical with what caused the Fall of Adam and Eve; propagating original sin. These men, however, are not the manipulators of world events. It is Lucifer himself that is why the agenda had never changed. The heads of states change but the prime mover is always the same, Lucifer. That is why the agenda is always the same.
Lucifer's agenda is 'commit original sin!' In other words, 'do what you want and impose what you like on all men! Eve did what she liked and imposed it on Adam. It is called Democracy. And this is the diabolical philosophy that is being imposed by the west on the whole world; and now, with the help of the Vatican.
4. Made in the USA
Many things made in the USA and Europe are really better. This is the bait by which they attract the world to their way of life. Their way of life is the worship of Pleasure which is Original Sin 'par excellence.' The attraction to imitate that way of life is propagated by Hollywood through its control of Mass Media. It is the devil's most powerful instrument of devilevangelization. It is converting the whole world, including the Catholic Church.
Their way of life is; just do it because everybody is doing it. Don't think. This is crowd psychology. No one thinks. Everybody just move with the crowd that is guided by a preternatural being.
5. The whole world is a big demonstration.
The world is ruled by crowd psychology; 'just do what the whole crowd is doing.' Don't use your head. It its a huge demonstration that is going on where the crowd, unable to use individual intellectual power, do whatever they are told by their passions. No intellectual power is involved; just pure emotions. The is why you cannot talk to them. They just shout and do the slightest suggestion, not from reason, but from the devil; go and kill the Czar, go and storm the Bastille, behead the Carmelites of Compeigne, establish sanctuary cities.
Everybody is killing .....and lying afterwards. Kennedy was killed and what follows? Interminable lies. Scriptures has it that killing and lying are from the devil. This world wide demonstrations where people are doing what they like and forcing others to give in to what they want is the spirit of Lucifer who work on his human puppets.
6. Catholic bishops joined the demonstration.
When bishops act like the rest of the world instead of acting based on logical and theological reasoning, they are joining the world in this vast world wide demonstration doing their own will and forcing others to do their own will, which is not their own will enlightened by their intellect. Their actions are the acts of a slave in obedience to a diabolical force. Their irrational stand is; because the world is doing it, we should do it.
When family planning was introduced in congress the main reason forwarded by the politicians is; the whole world is doing it and we are behind unless we, also, do it. Absolutely no philosophical sound reasoning for it. And no supernatural reason in favour of it. When the bishops went against family planning, they gave no Catholic reason against it and, not even a sound rational reason against it. The politicians and bishops were merely shouting at each other and demonstrating against each other. As expected the louder shouter won.
The proposal was passed not because it was a rational proposal for the common good; neither was it defeated because it was against Catholic teaching. It passed because there were more demonstrator in favour of it. It passed because there were less demonstrator against it. No moral issues were raised because that needs intellectual reasoning which both groups did not have. It was monkeys fighting against each other.
7. Sanctuary cities.
The sanctuary cities in the US is the practice making cities like Troy, after their apparent victory against the Greeks. Suddenly the Trojans went on a drinking and eating binge while allowing immigrants to enter their undefended cities in the dead of night. That is an invitation for disaster. Logically speaking, you don't do that in every day life; leaving your doors open to total strangers. How much more to violators of the law.
Sanctuary cities are fake imitations of an early Church practice when the right of sanctuary was practiced. It was the act of a Church in shielding an apparent criminal from the law to give him a chance to defend himself properly. It was not tolerance for sin or a crime. The Catholic Church never tolerates sin; the Church believes in justly punishing sins and crime with hell. The right of sanctuary was a merely to give an apparent criminal the opportunity to defend himself justly. It was not meant to protect sinners or criminals. If there is a just judicial process, sanctuaries are not necessary because that is the purpose of sanctuaries, to avail judicial process for all.
But the local bishop's conference had offered persons who report apparent extrajudicial executions, sanctuary protection from the law. This is against the teachings of Christ who commanded to render unto God what is God's and to render to Caesar what is Caesar.
Who will inform the bishops that it is a extrajudicial killing when there is no judicial process done. Without previous judicial process the very act of giving any whistleblower sanctuary is an extrajudicial process.
To render to Caesar what is Caesar is this; if natural justice is observed in the law then all must obey that law. Paying taxes is a just law. So Christ and the apostles paid their taxes. If the judicial process is a just law then all must pass that process. If someone feels there is an extrajudicial execution, then he must go through the just judicial process where the guilty is punished and the innocent exonerated. Evidently, the bishop's offer of sanctuary is in its very act an extrajudicial process that goes against the teachings of Christ. It is not a Catholic recommendation. It is sinful because it goes against the command of Christ, to render unto Caesar, i.e obey the just laws of the land.
To make matters worse, the bishops are giving the impression that their recommendation is a Catholic teaching and are encouraging disobeying the encyclical 'Mirari Vos' by encouraging the faithful laymen to follow their error. It is, again, the blind leading the blind, Christ's description of the Pharisees and some Jews. It fits well.
Bishops and priests are suppose to save souls. Not protect whistleblowers whose allegation are not proven; and by pass just laws. Many are not doing the first. Why waste time with the second. No good is accomplished in by passing just laws.
The bishops had not given any theological nor any rational reason for their recommendation. It looks like they are just imitating a US trend that is hugging the headlines and hug headlines, too. Behaving again like........?
And some parrots, also, imitate human sound but do not think. Man is not supposed to act like monkeys and parrots because man has a soul and spiritual faculties, the intellect and the free will.
Man must use his intellect before doing anything with his free will. He must make a sound judgment. Christ said; 'judge all things if they are of God.' But of course, some one contradicted Christ by asking; ' who am I to judge?' You are a man so you must judge all things! Unless you are a direct descendant of the monkey.

But the local bishop's conference had offered persons who report apparent extrajudicial executions, sanctuary protection from the law. This is against the teachings of Christ who commanded to render unto God what is God's and to render to Caesar what is Caesar.
Who will inform the bishops that it is a extrajudicial killing when there is no judicial process done. Without previous judicial process the very act of giving any whistleblower sanctuary is an extrajudicial process.
To render to Caesar what is Caesar is this; if natural justice is observed in the law then all must obey that law. Paying taxes is a just law. So Christ and the apostles paid their taxes. If the judicial process is a just law then all must pass that process. If someone feels there is an extrajudicial execution, then he must go through the just judicial process where the guilty is punished and the innocent exonerated. Evidently, the bishop's offer of sanctuary is in its very act an extrajudicial process that goes against the teachings of Christ. It is not a Catholic recommendation. It is sinful because it goes against the command of Christ, to render unto Caesar, i.e obey the just laws of the land.
To make matters worse, the bishops are giving the impression that their recommendation is a Catholic teaching and are encouraging disobeying the encyclical 'Mirari Vos' by encouraging the faithful laymen to follow their error. It is, again, the blind leading the blind, Christ's description of the Pharisees and some Jews. It fits well.
Bishops and priests are suppose to save souls. Not protect whistleblowers whose allegation are not proven; and by pass just laws. Many are not doing the first. Why waste time with the second. No good is accomplished in by passing just laws.
The bishops had not given any theological nor any rational reason for their recommendation. It looks like they are just imitating a US trend that is hugging the headlines and hug headlines, too. Behaving again like........?
The BISHOPS are wrong AGAIN. Sanctuary cities.
1. Monkeys imitate without thinking.
And some parrots, also, imitate human sound but do not think. Man is not supposed to act like monkeys and parrots because man has a soul and spiritual faculties, the intellect and the free will.
Man must use his intellect before doing anything with his free will. He must make a sound judgment. Christ said; 'judge all things if they are of God.' But of course, some one contradicted Christ by asking; ' who am I to judge?' You are a man so you must judge all things! Unless you are a direct descendant of the monkey.
2. Who thinks.
All men think unless his intellect is blinded with pride. With the sin of pride man becomes intellectually blind. He still thinks but all his reasoning lacks goodness, thus all his reasoning is wrong. The proud man cannot know what is good and what is right. He only knows what is evil and what is wrong and will necessarily chose only what is evil and what is wrong. The free will will chose only what it knows.
3. Powerful propaganda.
The most advertised way of life is the life in the US and in a lesser degree, life in Europe. And all media is geared on advancing this way of life. Hollywood is in the forefront in disseminating this way of life that can, theologically, be described as original sin. And who is behind that forbidden tree? Satan.
There is a very powerful group of men that really rules the world; they are not the heads of states who are just the puppets of these men. In fact these men dies and are changed by other like-minded men. Their agenda is identical with what caused the Fall of Adam and Eve; propagating original sin. These men, however, are not the manipulators of world events. It is Lucifer himself that is why the agenda had never changed. The heads of states change but the prime mover is always the same, Lucifer. That is why the agenda is always the same.
Lucifer's agenda is 'commit original sin!' In other words, 'do what you want and impose what you like on all men! Eve did what she liked and imposed it on Adam. It is called Democracy. And this is the diabolical philosophy that is being imposed by the west on the whole world; and now, with the help of the Vatican.
4. Made in the USA
Many things made in the USA and Europe are really better. This is the bait by which they attract the world to their way of life. Their way of life is the worship of Pleasure which is Original Sin 'par excellence.' The attraction to imitate that way of life is propagated by Hollywood through its control of Mass Media. It is the devil's most powerful instrument of devilevangelization. It is converting the whole world, including the Catholic Church.
Their way of life is; just do it because everybody is doing it. Don't think. This is crowd psychology. No one thinks. Everybody just move with the crowd that is guided by a preternatural being.
5. The whole world is a big demonstration.
The world is ruled by crowd psychology; 'just do what the whole crowd is doing.' Don't use your head. It its a huge demonstration that is going on where the crowd, unable to use individual intellectual power, do whatever they are told by their passions. No intellectual power is involved; just pure emotions. The is why you cannot talk to them. They just shout and do the slightest suggestion, not from reason, but from the devil; go and kill the Czar, go and storm the Bastille, behead the Carmelites of Compeigne, establish sanctuary cities.
Everybody is killing .....and lying afterwards. Kennedy was killed and what follows? Interminable lies. Scriptures has it that killing and lying are from the devil. This world wide demonstrations where people are doing what they like and forcing others to give in to what they want is the spirit of Lucifer who work on his human puppets.
6. Catholic bishops joined the demonstration.
When bishops act like the rest of the world instead of acting based on logical and theological reasoning, they are joining the world in this vast world wide demonstration doing their own will and forcing others to do their own will, which is not their own will enlightened by their intellect. Their actions are the acts of a slave in obedience to a diabolical force. Their irrational stand is; because the world is doing it, we should do it.
When family planning was introduced in congress the main reason forwarded by the politicians is; the whole world is doing it and we are behind unless we, also, do it. Absolutely no philosophical sound reasoning for it. And no supernatural reason in favour of it. When the bishops went against family planning, they gave no Catholic reason against it and, not even a sound rational reason against it. The politicians and bishops were merely shouting at each other and demonstrating against each other. As expected the louder shouter won.
The proposal was passed not because it was a rational proposal for the common good; neither was it defeated because it was against Catholic teaching. It passed because there were more demonstrator in favour of it. It passed because there were less demonstrator against it. No moral issues were raised because that needs intellectual reasoning which both groups did not have. It was monkeys fighting against each other.
7. Sanctuary cities.
The sanctuary cities in the US is the practice making cities like Troy, after their apparent victory against the Greeks. Suddenly the Trojans went on a drinking and eating binge while allowing immigrants to enter their undefended cities in the dead of night. That is an invitation for disaster. Logically speaking, you don't do that in every day life; leaving your doors open to total strangers. How much more to violators of the law.
Sanctuary cities are fake imitations of an early Church practice when the right of sanctuary was practiced. It was the act of a Church in shielding an apparent criminal from the law to give him a chance to defend himself properly. It was not tolerance for sin or a crime. The Catholic Church never tolerates sin; the Church believes in justly punishing sins and crime with hell. The right of sanctuary was a merely to give an apparent criminal the opportunity to defend himself justly. It was not meant to protect sinners or criminals. If there is a just judicial process, sanctuaries are not necessary because that is the purpose of sanctuaries, to avail judicial process for all.
But the local bishop's conference had offered persons who report apparent extrajudicial executions, sanctuary protection from the law. This is against the teachings of Christ who commanded to render unto God what is God's and to render to Caesar what is Caesar.

Friday - 32nd Week in Ordinary Time. THE CRUCIFIXION OF THE CHURCH.
1. A reminder.
Christ had warned us that we should take up His cross and follow Him. Otherwise, we won't go to heaven. Few had taken this warning seriously but as the Gospel for today tells us, we must take up His cross to be able to enter into the Catholic Church, the kingdom of God here on earth. The Gospel continues to describe the 'kingdom of God.'
2. As at the time of Noah and Lot.
The kingdom of God had always been described as a field with wheat and cockle, with the good and the bad. And the Gospel at these last Sundays approaching the Feast of Christ the King had been warning us that time is coming that the good is going to be separated from the bad. Then God would punish the bad after having set aside the good.
Thus Christ mentioned the separation of the wheat from the cockle. And in today's Gospel He mentions the need to separate the good before drowning the bad and the separation of the good from the bad before raining fire and brimstone on the bad. Then Christ mentions the fact that God had promised never to end the human race through flood but instead He will end the human race with fire. The last days scenario is worse than the fire and brimstone in Sodom and Gomorrah, for reasons the Gospel states momentarily.
3. The Church will be like at the time of Noah and at the time of Lot.
It will have good and bad members as before. But the punishment will be worse as time goes. Because to whom much is given much will be required.
As at the time of Noah, the Catholic Church will have good members as Noah and his family. And there will be
members who will be eating and drinking and marrying; these are the one who will be shut out of the Ark and will drown.
Now, there is nothing wrong in eating and drinking and marrying, St.Thomas wrote. What is wrong is the inordinate and lustful desire for eating, drinking and for sex. Since God severely punishes those who do lawful things inordinately, how much more will He severely punish those who do evil things. Of greater evil was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah.
But the sin of the bad members of the Catholic Church who are not strictly speaking Catholics, are even greater, in Sodom. The homosexuality in the IOR, the pedophilia in the rooms of the Congregation for the Faith raided by the Italian police. The perverted sexuality of appointees to the Vatican. The perverts invited by Pope Francis to his private audiences. The weirdoes whose feet Pope Francis kisses should put Sodom and Gomorrah to shame.
During Noah's time, the good could retreat to an Ark safely; which is a symbol of the Catholic Church. But in Sodom, Lot was led by angels, he led his wife to safety as the Church would lead unbelievers into the Church; but there was no Ark to go to. How come? Because the story is showing us the message of the Gospel; i.e. that the kingdom of God, personified by the Ark of Noah, is no longer an object outside the person. The kingdom of God is within you. The kingdom of God was the Ark outside of Noah, but it will be within Lot. Lot was leading his wife into the kingdom of God, but because of a sin against the kingdom, the wife was not able to enter the kingdom of God. We now see two persons; Lot, who had the kingdom of God within him and his wife, who did not have the kingdom within her due to her sin of loving worldly things.
What was the sin of Lot's wife that prevented her from entering the kingdom of God? She did not take up the cross of Christ and follow Him because she was attached to her past, to her worldly possessions, to the pleasures of the flesh. These caused her to look back thus going against the command of Christ; 'he who takes up the plough and looks back is not worthy of Me.'
Again, how come Lot had no Ark to enter in? Because from henceforth the Church will be within him.
4. The state of the Church.
As in the days of Noah, most Catholics will be lovers of food, drink and sex more than lovers of God. And, like in the days of Lot, the Pope and most cardinals and bishops in the Vatican, as exposed by Vatileaks, are Sodomites, homos, pedophiles and child molesters.
As St, Thomas added; the Church will be covered with a cloud of ignorance wherewith those obliged to teach the Words of Divine truth will not speak the truth but will, instead, speak errors and confusions. Thus the people will have no way of learning the Divine truths from the priests and bishops. Not even from Pope Francis. Since entrance into the kingdom of God is through taking up of the cross and following Christ, this suffering will discourage the lovers of pleasure from entering the Church.
Then there is the anti-Christ that is expected today and is already here who will lead an awful persecution of the Church physically and morally. This persecution will be joined by governments, perverts, sinners, pagans, Protestants, by priests, bishops and Pope Francis. The deadliest persecution will be by the Pope who will attack the Church doctrinally as is being done with 'Amores Laetitia.'
5. The atmosphere.
The Liturgy of the Mass is, in effect, teaching us that during these days, it is impossible to know and to save one's soul. But the Gospel of Saturday of the 32 Week in Ordinary Time shows us the help we need during these times; PRAYER. Unceasing prayer like the prayer of the poor widow before a bad judge. Because of the unceasing prayer of the widow, the bad judge granted the widow justice over her accusers, the devil.
6. The Catholic Church is the widow who was praying unceasingly. It was the only way the Church could survive the onslaught of the evil times of these days. And what is unceasing prayer? St. Thomas of Aquinas described it as........praying the complete Divine Office, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None,Vespers, Compline, Matins .....and having one's mind and heart concentrating on the words of the Psalms. That is not really praying every second of the day; but St. Thomas considered it, already, as praying unceasingly because some time must be spent for the other necessities of life.
With Vatican II having reduced the Divine Office of religious and priests today to less than four, instead of eight time.......the Catholic Church as the widow praying unceasingly is nowhere to be found today.
What is the negative image of the Catholic Church today? It is like the people during Noah's time; and it is like the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. What is the positive image of the Catholic Church today? It is like Noah, it is like Lot......and it is like the poor widow who was praying unceasingly.
Christ had warned us that we should take up His cross and follow Him. Otherwise, we won't go to heaven. Few had taken this warning seriously but as the Gospel for today tells us, we must take up His cross to be able to enter into the Catholic Church, the kingdom of God here on earth.

As in the days of Noah, most Catholics will be lovers of food, drink and sex more than lovers of God. And, like in the days of Lot, the Pope and most cardinals and bishops in the Vatican, as exposed by Vatileaks, are Sodomites, homos, pedophiles and child molesters.
As St, Thomas added; the Church will be covered with a cloud of ignorance wherewith those obliged to teach the Words of Divine truth will not speak the truth but will, instead, speak errors and confusions. Thus the people will have no way of learning the Divine truths from the priests and bishops. Not even from Pope Francis. Since entrance into the kingdom of God is through taking up of the cross and following Christ, this suffering will discourage the lovers of pleasure from entering the Church.
Then there is the anti-Christ that is expected today and is already here who will lead an awful persecution of the Church physically and morally. This persecution will be joined by governments, perverts, sinners, pagans, Protestants, by priests, bishops and Pope Francis. The deadliest persecution will be by the Pope who will attack the Church doctrinally as is being done with 'Amores Laetitia.'
5. The atmosphere.
The Liturgy of the Mass is, in effect, teaching us that during these days, it is impossible to know and to save one's soul. But the Gospel of Saturday of the 32 Week in Ordinary Time shows us the help we need during these times; PRAYER. Unceasing prayer like the prayer of the poor widow before a bad judge. Because of the unceasing prayer of the widow, the bad judge granted the widow justice over her accusers, the devil.
6. The Catholic Church is the widow who was praying unceasingly. It was the only way the Church could survive the onslaught of the evil times of these days. And what is unceasing prayer? St. Thomas of Aquinas described it as........praying the complete Divine Office, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None,Vespers, Compline, Matins .....and having one's mind and heart concentrating on the words of the Psalms. That is not really praying every second of the day; but St. Thomas considered it, already, as praying unceasingly because some time must be spent for the other necessities of life.
With Vatican II having reduced the Divine Office of religious and priests today to less than four, instead of eight time.......the Catholic Church as the widow praying unceasingly is nowhere to be found today.
What is the negative image of the Catholic Church today? It is like the people during Noah's time; and it is like the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. What is the positive image of the Catholic Church today? It is like Noah, it is like Lot......and it is like the poor widow who was praying unceasingly.
Christ had warned us that we should take up His cross and follow Him. Otherwise, we won't go to heaven. Few had taken this warning seriously but as the Gospel for today tells us, we must take up His cross to be able to enter into the Catholic Church, the kingdom of God here on earth. The Gospel continues to describe the 'kingdom of God.'
2. As at the time of Noah and Lot.
The kingdom of God had always been described as a field with wheat and cockle, with the good and the bad. And the Gospel at these last Sundays approaching the Feast of Christ the King had been warning us that time is coming that the good is going to be separated from the bad. Then God would punish the bad after having set aside the good.
Thus Christ mentioned the separation of the wheat from the cockle. And in today's Gospel He mentions the need to separate the good before drowning the bad and the separation of the good from the bad before raining fire and brimstone on the bad. Then Christ mentions the fact that God had promised never to end the human race through flood but instead He will end the human race with fire. The last days scenario is worse than the fire and brimstone in Sodom and Gomorrah, for reasons the Gospel states momentarily.
3. The Church will be like at the time of Noah and at the time of Lot.
It will have good and bad members as before. But the punishment will be worse as time goes. Because to whom much is given much will be required.
As at the time of Noah, the Catholic Church will have good members as Noah and his family. And there will be
members who will be eating and drinking and marrying; these are the one who will be shut out of the Ark and will drown.
Now, there is nothing wrong in eating and drinking and marrying, St.Thomas wrote. What is wrong is the inordinate and lustful desire for eating, drinking and for sex. Since God severely punishes those who do lawful things inordinately, how much more will He severely punish those who do evil things. Of greater evil was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah.
But the sin of the bad members of the Catholic Church who are not strictly speaking Catholics, are even greater, in Sodom. The homosexuality in the IOR, the pedophilia in the rooms of the Congregation for the Faith raided by the Italian police. The perverted sexuality of appointees to the Vatican. The perverts invited by Pope Francis to his private audiences. The weirdoes whose feet Pope Francis kisses should put Sodom and Gomorrah to shame.
During Noah's time, the good could retreat to an Ark safely; which is a symbol of the Catholic Church. But in Sodom, Lot was led by angels, he led his wife to safety as the Church would lead unbelievers into the Church; but there was no Ark to go to. How come? Because the story is showing us the message of the Gospel; i.e. that the kingdom of God, personified by the Ark of Noah, is no longer an object outside the person. The kingdom of God is within you. The kingdom of God was the Ark outside of Noah, but it will be within Lot. Lot was leading his wife into the kingdom of God, but because of a sin against the kingdom, the wife was not able to enter the kingdom of God. We now see two persons; Lot, who had the kingdom of God within him and his wife, who did not have the kingdom within her due to her sin of loving worldly things.
What was the sin of Lot's wife that prevented her from entering the kingdom of God? She did not take up the cross of Christ and follow Him because she was attached to her past, to her worldly possessions, to the pleasures of the flesh. These caused her to look back thus going against the command of Christ; 'he who takes up the plough and looks back is not worthy of Me.'
Again, how come Lot had no Ark to enter in? Because from henceforth the Church will be within him.
4. The state of the Church.
As in the days of Noah, most Catholics will be lovers of food, drink and sex more than lovers of God. And, like in the days of Lot, the Pope and most cardinals and bishops in the Vatican, as exposed by Vatileaks, are Sodomites, homos, pedophiles and child molesters.
As St, Thomas added; the Church will be covered with a cloud of ignorance wherewith those obliged to teach the Words of Divine truth will not speak the truth but will, instead, speak errors and confusions. Thus the people will have no way of learning the Divine truths from the priests and bishops. Not even from Pope Francis.

The CATHOLIC CHURCH TODAY - Thursday of the 32rd Week in Ordinary Time.
1. The Liturgy.
As we approach the end of the Liturgical Year with the celebration of the Feast of Christ the King, we are, also, ending Holy Mother the Church's last lessons on the Catholic Faith. The almost ending lesson deals with the state of the Catholic Church at the end of the Liturgical Year or the description of the Catholic Church as we approach the General Judgment Day. Side by side with it is the state of the world.
2. In the catechism.
In the catechism we know what are the four visible signs of the true Church of Christ; namely, One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. And God made these signs visible, precisely, so that Catholics can know whether they are inside the Church or not. So pagan, also, can know which is the true Church and with certainty enter the true Church. The Fathers of the Church discussed these four visible signs extensively to enable everyone to know them because the very salvation of soul depends on whether one is inside the Church or not. St. Belarmine, in fact, expanded these four visible signs into 15 Marks of the Church to give us more certitude on whether we are inside or outside. In fact, St. Bellarmine described the signs that we are inside the Church and what are the signs that we are still outside the Church, giving us greater certainly of the state of our souls.
3. The true signs are primarily spiritual and only secondarily visible.
Needless to say, the spiritual signs are more dependable than the four visible signs. But the spiritual signs are reserved only for those who have the theological virtue of Faith. While the four visible signs are meant for unbelievers. The spiritual signs are exclusively for believers. That is why it is given and explained almost at the end of the Liturgical year assuming that Catholics at this time of the Liturgical year, the 32nd week in ordinary time, are very advanced in their knowledge of Catholic Doctrines.
4. The signs of the true Church for believers is spiritual.
At this time of the Liturgical Season, Holy Mother the Church gives us the spiritual signs of the true Church. And because the signs are spiritual, unbelievers cannot see them with their visible eyes. It can only be seen by the eyes of Faith. That is the reason why most people cannot find the true Catholic Church today; because they do not have Faith. But they can still recourse to the four visible signs mentioned in the Nicene Creed; visible signs meant for unbelievers because most Catholics today are unbelievers.
Christ in today's Gospel continues to describe the 'kingdom of God,' the Catholic Church. But in today's Gospel He described it 'as the kingdom of God is within you.' So it is not visible. That is why nobody can see it. The Church cannot be found today. No one can pin point it because it is not outside of man; it is within man. So only the man with the 'kingdom of God' within him can know the Church. Each man must find the kingdom of God within himself. It is either there or not there. St. Thomas described the kingdom of God as coming into the soul together with grace, with Faith and with virtues. It has to be within man if it is a grace and a theological virtue. But as virtue it has outward expressions so it can be perceived in some degree, but still with great difficulty.
So Christ warned us that the kingdom of God 'cometh not with with observation. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! For the kingdom of God is within you.' St. Cyril adds; ' Now it is only for the benefit of each individual that He says 'for behold the kingdom of God is within you.' The Church rest with you and your own hearts to receive it. It is not outside; neither in your parish, diocese nor is it in the Vatican.
The kingdom of God within the souls of 100 people is the Faith that make up the Church.
5. The need for suffering to enter the kingdom of God.
Being made strong through suffering, souls are able to enter the kingdom of God. Christ foretells the apostles that before His coming from heaven at the end of the world, persecution will break out upon them . So terrible will the persecution, it will be worse than what Christ experienced. Even bishop, cardinals and Pope Francis will persecute the Church.
The persecution will come, also, from the anti-Christ who will be proclaimed here and there; as he will be proclaimed in Jerusalem as the head of the one world religion by Pope Francis. They will, also, persecute the Church.
6. The people will look for the Church but will not find it.
With the Kingdom of God within, it will be impossible to find the Church. People will search but will not find. They will cry out to God and beg that He, again, shows the way to the Church. But God will answer; 'I have shown it to you in Scriptures, the prophets and the Fathers. I do not have to show it to you again. Go back to these sources. If you read today's Gospel you will see that the kingdom of God is within you and not in your parish, diocese or the Vatican.'
The kingdom of God will be within you when the world rejects Christ, when the world loses its Faith, when the Vatican prints stamps of Jesus Crucified with Martin Luther on one side and Melanchton on the other side, then the Church will be nowhere except within each individual with Faith, with grace and with virtues.

32nd SUNDAY in Ordinary Time - the five foolish and five wise virgins.
1. The parable of the 'reign of God.'
For several Sundays and several weekdays, the Masses had dealt with the 'reign of God.' These are parables on the Catholic Church describing her in a way no one can miss her. The Gospels had been describing many aspects of the Catholic Church; but strangely enough, the Gospels had been emphasizing the existence of a very large bunch of bad priests today. Does it include Pope Francis?
2. The 10 bridesmaids are all member of the Catholic Church. Just as in the former parables, the inside members of the Catholic Church were described as cockles and wheat where both bad and good souls exist side by side. Mindful of the coming separation that had been shown before hand, the Gospel again describes the fact that the Church has 10 virgins within her.
Five were inside but not really members of the Church. As St. John wrote ' they came from us but where not of us.' And the other five were truly inside members of the Church. Five were foolish and the other five were wise.
3. The wise virgins.
The wise virgins were described as having lighted lamps and with extra oil for their lamps. What is the lighted lamp? They are minds enlightened by the knowledge of the commands of Christ. And what is the extra oil? The extra oil is good works or the commands of Christ put into practice. The lighted lamp is Faith; the extra oil is Charity.
The lighted lamp shows that there was some oil in the lamp that kept it alight. This is Faith enlivened by some degree of Charity. The extra oil shows the abundance of Charity shown in the form of good works.
5. The foolish virgins.
The foolish virgins are Christians who have lighted lamps; i.e. Faith with some degree of Charity. Charity or good works is what keeps the lamps lighted.
6. The arrival of the groom was delayed.
All began to nod and fall asleep. After the birth of Christ, He was already awaited and expected for His Second coming for the Eternal marriage with the Church. As of now He is a little delayed and the Church has probably gone asleep. At midnight someone shouted 'the groom is here.' The Fathers of the Church feel that the end of the world will occur at mid night and on Sunday.
The virgins woke up and got their torches ready. Because of the delay, must of the oil for the lamps were consumed. Since the wise virgins had extra oil, i.e. good works, they could keep their lamps lighted. Their Faith continued to be enlivened with Charity, both of which is necessary for salvation.
The foolish virgins had no extra oil, so they could not keep their Faith enlivened with Charity. Without Charity their Faith was a dead Faith, St. Augustine wrote. And this cannot save them
7. The foolish virgins went to the wise virgins.
The foolish virgins went to the wise virgins and asked for oil; but the wise virgins said; ' there may not be enough for you and us.' The wise virgins refused to give the foolish virgins some oil. Now, that sounds selfish for souls meant to go to heaven. No. They could not give because Charity is non-transferable. Someone's Charity cannot be given to enliven someone else's Faith. Only your Charity can enliven your own Faith. Your Faith must be enlivened with Charity before you die. That is what it means when your torches run out of oil. Your Faith ran out of Good works.
8. Good works.
Good works is Charity. It is an act of love of God and love of neighbor and must be defined as 'loving God and neighbor as God loved Himself and us. ' It is not mere human, emotional love. The list of good works is found in Scriptures and St. Benedict has a long list of it in his Chapter 'On the Instruments of good works.' The UN had made its own list of seemingly good works which are not evangelical so it is not Charity and cannot save.
9. Pope Francis and most of his bishops and priest.
Basing it on the definition of a wise and foolish virgin, Pope
Francis and many of his bishops and priests seems not to be wise virgins because they do not have extra oil; they do not have lighted lamps. And they do not even have unlighted lamps.
For several Sundays and several weekdays, the Masses had dealt with the 'reign of God.' These are parables on the Catholic Church describing her in a way no one can miss her. The Gospels had been describing many aspects of the Catholic Church; but strangely enough, the Gospels had been emphasizing the existence of a very large bunch of bad priests today. Does it include Pope Francis?
2. The 10 bridesmaids are all member of the Catholic Church. Just as in the former parables, the inside members of the Catholic Church were described as cockles and wheat where both bad and good souls exist side by side. Mindful of the coming separation that had been shown before hand, the Gospel again describes the fact that the Church has 10 virgins within her.
Five were inside but not really members of the Church. As St. John wrote ' they came from us but where not of us.' And the other five were truly inside members of the Church. Five were foolish and the other five were wise.
3. The wise virgins.
The wise virgins were described as having lighted lamps and with extra oil for their lamps. What is the lighted lamp? They are minds enlightened by the knowledge of the commands of Christ. And what is the extra oil? The extra oil is good works or the commands of Christ put into practice. The lighted lamp is Faith; the extra oil is Charity.
The lighted lamp shows that there was some oil in the lamp that kept it alight. This is Faith enlivened by some degree of Charity. The extra oil shows the abundance of Charity shown in the form of good works.
5. The foolish virgins.
The foolish virgins are Christians who have lighted lamps; i.e. Faith with some degree of Charity. Charity or good works is what keeps the lamps lighted.
6. The arrival of the groom was delayed.
All began to nod and fall asleep. After the birth of Christ, He was already awaited and expected for His Second coming for the Eternal marriage with the Church. As of now He is a little delayed and the Church has probably gone asleep. At midnight someone shouted 'the groom is here.' The Fathers of the Church feel that the end of the world will occur at mid night and on Sunday.
The virgins woke up and got their torches ready. Because of the delay, must of the oil for the lamps were consumed. Since the wise virgins had extra oil, i.e. good works, they could keep their lamps lighted. Their Faith continued to be enlivened with Charity, both of which is necessary for salvation.
The foolish virgins had no extra oil, so they could not keep their Faith enlivened with Charity. Without Charity their Faith was a dead Faith, St. Augustine wrote. And this cannot save them
7. The foolish virgins went to the wise virgins.
The foolish virgins went to the wise virgins and asked for oil; but the wise virgins said; ' there may not be enough for you and us.' The wise virgins refused to give the foolish virgins some oil. Now, that sounds selfish for souls meant to go to heaven. No. They could not give because Charity is non-transferable. Someone's Charity cannot be given to enliven someone else's Faith. Only your Charity can enliven your own Faith. Your Faith must be enlivened with Charity before you die. That is what it means when your torches run out of oil. Your Faith ran out of Good works.
8. Good works.
Good works is Charity. It is an act of love of God and love of neighbor and must be defined as 'loving God and neighbor as God loved Himself and us. ' It is not mere human, emotional love. The list of good works is found in Scriptures and St. Benedict has a long list of it in his Chapter 'On the Instruments of good works.' The UN had made its own list of seemingly good works which are not evangelical so it is not Charity and cannot save.
9. Pope Francis and most of his bishops and priest.
Basing it on the definition of a wise and foolish virgin, Pope
Francis and many of his bishops and priests seems not to be wise virgins because they do not have extra oil; they do not have lighted lamps. And they do not even have unlighted lamps.
