Hi Blogger Insiders,
Protestantism was started in the early 1500's by Martin Luther, a defrocked Roman Catholic priest. After defacing a Catholic Cathedral door by nailing his thesis paper to it, Luther set himself up against the Holy Catholic Church.
The Holy Catholic Church was divinely founded by Christ Jesus the Lord, the Son of God, 2000 years ago. The protestant religion was started by Martin Luther (a defrocked Catholic priest) 500 years ago. So I say to protestants: Don't belong to a religion started by Luther, Calvin, or Smyth and Wesley, or any of the others. They are just men. I will never belong to a religion started by man. Belong instead to the Holy Catholic Religion because it was founded by God Himself (hence the Holy part).
God doesn't like rebellion against Him: 1) Lucifer rebelled and he got kicked out of Heaven. 2) Adam and Eve rebelled and they got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. 3) Martin Luther rebelled and he got kicked out of the Church. The message is stop rebelling against God. God has legitimate authority and He grants this to His Church. The Holy Spirit guides the Holy Catholic Church and has done so for 2000 years.
It is through the Holy Spirit that the Holy Catholic Church authentically interprets the Holy Bible. The protestants believe that the (their) Bible is the supreme authority in spiritual matters. I'm just going to come right out and say this: The Catholic Church wrote the Holy Bible (the New Testament). That is to say, the New Testament was written by Catholics inspired by God. The Old Testament was written by Hebrews inspired by God. No part of the Holy Bible was written by protestants, inspired by God or otherwise. The Holy Bible was eventually mass produced thanks to the German Catholic Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the printing press. The protestants, arriving on the scene in the 1500's, promptly threw out seven (7!) books out of the Holy Bible. That is the protestant contribution to the Holy Bible. Protestantism is a heresy.
In the final analysis, the protest-ants, having accomplished their protest-ant rebellion against God's Holy Church, have caused injury and disunity in Christendom. There are now countless thousands of protestant sects. But happily there is still just One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Come back to the Church. Come back to the Holy Sacraments of the Church. Christ Jesus, Our Blessed Lord, founded the Holy Catholic Church and He Himself has instituted the Holy Sacraments of His Church. Avail yourself of these, and live.
God Bless you,

Christianity (Part 2)
Hi Blogger Insiders,
The teachings of the Catholic Church are the teachings of Christ. The Holy Catholic Church is the Church divinely founded by Christ Jesus 2000 years ago. It is the Universal Church meant for all mankind to join (Catholic being the Greek word for universal). The old saying is true: Where Jesus Christ is, there is the Church.
Saul (now known as Paul) persecuted the early Church. He was knocked off his horse by a flash of light. Jesus spoke to him saying, "Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" Saul said, "Who are you?" Jesus answered saying, "I am Jesus, the One you are persecuting". Jesus identifies Himself with His Church.
Jesus instituted the Sacraments of the Catholic Church. The Church has the seven Holy Sacraments that give us the grace to stay on the path to Heaven. Any "Christian" outside of the Catholic Church would be trying to reach Heaven without these crucial helps.
Christianity is the religion of love. A Christian's goal is to become more Christ-like. We all want love and happiness. I'm here to tell you that God is Love. He is the Source of happiness. He has left us a Holy Church to get us to Him. The Catholic Church teaches us His truths. It is better to be Catholic than to be alive.
Ecumenism as practised by the Church has always meant an ecumenism of return. Return to the Church for salvation. It was only since the 1960's that this type of ecumenism was abandoned. Since then the ecu-maniacs have only hurt the Church through their new brand of (false) ecumenism. An ecumenism that results in religious indifference. It is my guess that Pope Benedict XVI will bring back the old school (you-come-in-ism) ecumenism.
Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega. The First and the Last. The Beginning and the End. Jesus declares this in the Holy Bible, the Sacred Scriptures. The Catholic Church has faithfully preserved His words. We know of Jesus because of His Church. No Catholic Church, no Christianity.
Thank you Jesus for establishing Your Church, the pillar and ground of truth.
Ok fellow Bloggers. Be good.
God Bless you,
In Christ the King,

Pope Benedict XVI
Hi Blogger Insiders,
Pope Benedict XVI is a champion of the Church. He is a real leader; a lion of the Church. He is a Christ-centered man who leads others to Christ Jesus.
It must be said that the modern (modernist?) popes are gone. Gone are the Pope Johns, the Pope Pauls, and the Pope John Pauls, leaving only holy Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Benedict XVI is, in this humble blogger's opinion, the holiest pope since Pope St. Pius X. Many bishops thought and hoped that Pope Benedict XVI would be a transitional pope. They hoped that this current pontiff would accomplish nothing but the status quo. Instead, Pope Benedict XVI has changed the landscape in the Church and in the world. Pope Benedict XVI has restored the Tridentine Latin Mass, reformed the New Order Mass (which will be implemented in Nov. 27/11), cracked down on priest-abusers, disciplined dissenters, and reclaimed the papal tiara.
Paul VI had discarded the papal tiara in the 1960's. Now, Pope Benedict XVI has discarded the mitre (symbol of a bishop) from his coat of arms and replaced it with the papal tiara (symbol of the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church). The Pope is sending a message to the Church and to the world: He is the visible Supreme Head of the Catholic Church. There is no other. To the chagrin of many bishops, they cannot combine to produce a greater authority. The Pope wears the papal crown (the tiara) and exercises his divinely given authority for the good of souls and the glory of God.
He is Papa Ratzi. The German Shepherd of the Catholic Church.
God Bless you,

Christianity
Hi Blogger Insiders,
Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Let me start off with that straight away.
Our Blessed Lord, Jesus the Christ, died on the Cross to save us. Jesus was without sin but He died on the Cross in our place to save us from our sins. He is what makes eternal life possible. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the Resurrection.
Christ founded the Catholic Church in 33 AD. Simon Bar Jonah (renamed Peter meaning rock) was the first Pope as recorded in Matt 16:17-19. The teachings of the Catholic Church are the teachings of Christ. The Holy Catholic Church is the spotless bride of Christ.
Over the centuries, the Catholic (or universal) Church established Christendom throughout Europe and into the New World.
Jesus is the solution to whatever your problem is. He loves you extremely. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is hurting if you are hurting.
The Faith of Christianity is built around Christ. He is the center. Jesus knows you better than you know yourself. He loves you and wants you to love Him. The Church has Sacraments to help you get close to Christ Jesus and keep you there. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, Rom13:14.
The primary mission of the Church is the salvation of souls. Either you are in a state of Sanctifying Grace or you are not. The Church has the Sacrament of Confession so that you can always live in a state of grace. The Holy Bible says in 1TIM6:13, "I charge thee before God...a good confession;" As the saying goes, confession is good for the soul. I urge you to confess and live.
The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is the true Church of Christ.
Ok. Be good.
God Bless you,
In Christ the King,

The Vatican Instruction "Universae Ecclesiae"
Hi Fellow Bloggers!
The Pope's document "Universae Ecclesiae" (Universal Church) is now published.
This document basically enforces the Pope's previous document, "Summorum Pontificum" (which was published 7July2007).
Pope Benedict XVI declares in Article 8 that "Summorum Pontificum" manifests his solicitude as Vicar of Christ and Supreme Pastor of the Universal Church and that the Pope has effectively guaranteed the Tridentine Latin Mass for all who ask for it.
In Article 13, it mentions that Bishops are to have the mens (mind) of the Holy Father as clearly expressed in "Summorum Pontificum".
In Article 21 Bishops are to offer the priests of their diocese the possibility of acquiring adequate preparation in saying the Latin Mass. This also applies to Seminaries.
In Article 29 it affirms the right to use the old formulas of the Sacraments (at least for Confirmation and Holy Orders).
This document was given at Rome on April 30, 2011 (the Feast of Pope St. Pius V in the new order).
In conclusion, the Pope has clearly declared his wishes that the Tridentine Latin Mass, complete with all the traditional Sacraments, be offered to all Catholics who desire it.
OK fellow Bloggers.
Take care. Be good.
God Bless you,
