Do People REALLY Go To Hell? Yes, "Bishop" Barron, They Do...

 (This is a follow-up to my recent article: Hooray, I'm Saved!! I Have No Doubt About It -- "Bishop" Barron "Told" Me!)

I hope I don't sound "negative" all the time, but we do have to face reality, don't we?  This is especially true in these troubled times when, not only the secular humanists deny their Creator, but also those who wear the Roman collar do the same.  This denial comes in many forms, mainly by the opposite of living up to the two great Commandments: to love God and neighbor...

To break this down a little further, just take a look at the excessive capitulation to Caesar instead of rendering what is due to the secular authorities.

Before the 2020 presidential election, the Biden campaign drew, misplaced support from those hierarchs sympathetic with the Democrat party, even though their platform included expanded funding of abortion through the use of taxpayer monies.  That, in itself, was -- and still is -- a betrayal of the Source of Life, Christ our Lord.  If that wasn't bad enough, far too many bishops and cardinals are in league with the sodomites pushing their diabolical "lifestyle," along with the agenda of the so-called LGBT cadre.  We know they are hell-bent on destroying the traditional distinction and roles of man and woman, especially attacking the primary building-block of society; the family...

But now, it seems that some bishops have awaken from their politically-induced slumber, and have begun to throw Biden under the bus for his extreme -- un-Christian -- stance on life-issues.   This may be too little too late, but at least the condemnation is a step in the right direction... However, nothing will change or force the likes of Biden and the cabal of "Catholic" politicians to amend their lives and return to their precious faith, except by a public ex-communication for their public mortal sins, including that of scandal...

The secular political and medical "authorities" have successfully coerced the clergy, at their every whim, with little push-back, when they arbitrarily ordered the closure of church doors for months on end, denying the faithful of the sacraments.   

Those in charge of shepherding the souls of their flocks to the heavenly beatitude, have polluted their sacred calling in favor of power, position, and filthy lucre in this life, with little or no consideration of where they will spend eternity in the next.  The consequences of not admonishing "Catholic" pols, or preaching the culture of life from the housetops, will be severe; make no mistake.  That is why there must be penance and more penance to assuage the wrath of almighty God.  For far too long, clergy, laity -- and those in the political, secular realm -- have weakened the once-great shining City on the Hill, to near oblivion.  But we also know, that Christ has promised that the gates of hell will never prevail against His Church, even if that church is reduced to a few: the Elect; the Remnant!

Right now, as I write this, there is a massive idolatrous event happing in Iraq in or near the ancient city of Ur, where "religions" from all over the globe are meeting to "dialogue" with Bergoglio.  Unfortunately, nothing good will come of such a gathering, but only more discord and confusion among what is left of the faithful Christian, trying to do their best to please God, rather than men...  

In conclusion, those men who are the heads of households, and those women who are the heart of their families, must remain steadfast in fulfilling their state in life.  Their main job: to guard and protect the souls of their offspring, regardless of the potentially negative consequences from apostate "Catholic" politicians, or clergy that have become the new Judas', deserting the flock at the first sign of the approaching, ravenous wolves...

I cannot imagine the accountability that such "Catholics" will have to face at their Particular Judgment...

Pray for strength and honor!

Pilate to Christ: "What Is Truth?"

 St. John 18:37-38 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "What is truth?" retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him. (King James Version.)

In this day and age, I also ask: What is Truth? We are certainly not getting Truth from the mainstream media, nor are we getting it from those tasked with leading the Elect, the Remnant to the heavenly beatitude, so where do we get the Truth?

As Pilate did not understand that Truth Himself was standing not more than one or two feet from him, we, practicing Catholics, seem to attempt to get the Truth from sources that mix half-truths with the truth, rendering the final version of the Truth, not the Truth at all. What we end up with is man's attempt to create the Truth to fit his own image, not that of God's... It's as if we become Doctor Frankenstein, stealing a part here and there to make up what we believe to be Truth. That is self-deception, and that is why there are thousands upon thousands of denominations that label themselves "Christians"...

If you use the Bible as your sole rule of faith, you open yourself up to believe anything you want to believe, and actually prove it from that very same Bible! See: 2 Peter 3:16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. (King James Version.)

As an example of humility -- in seeking the Truth, see Acts 8:26-39...

And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.  The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.  And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.  And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.  And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

Any practicing Catholic who buys into the "spirit of the age" in order to go along to get along, will put his soul, and the souls entrusted to him, in grave danger. Make no mistake, we fathers will be held accountable if anyone of our charges abandons the faith handed down to us by the Divine Founder, Christ our Lord, through His Holy Church.

There is only one fold, one faith, and one baptism... See Ephesians 4:4-6 (King James Version.)

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Men may change, but the Deposit of Faith never changes...

"What is Truth"? Or, where is the Truth to be found?

The Church -- the (Catholic) Church is the pillar and ground of truth! 

See 1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (King James Version.)

Pray for strength and honor!

Any Law Or Mandate That Violates Our Natural Rights (The Natural Law), Or Justice, Or Charity (Love Of Neighbor), Is Automatically Null And Void...

 When Elena Kagan was nominated to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court, one of the senators on the judiciary committee tasked with questioning her on her qualifications for the lifetime appointment, asked this simple question: What are your views on natural rights?

I have to say, that her response not only shocked the living daylights out of me -- and it should have shocked the senators questioning her -- said the following: "I have no views on natural rights."  

That quote was not only bizarre, it should have immediately disqualified her to sit on the Supreme Court -- or any court for that matter...

But, sadly, it didn't, and now she can -- and has -- done irreparable damage to the most vulnerable and defenseless of our species: the pre-born baby.   Let's not forget the illegal rulings in favor of the "rights" of the sodomites and other deviants.  In other words, Kagan has violated the Natural Law, and voted in favor of non-existent -- read: made-up -- "rights" of classes of people that were never recognized from the beginning of recorded history. 

This is a prime example why I'm in favor of term limits for judges; whether at the state or federal level, just as I'm in favor of term limits for all our elected representatives!  Such term limits would effectively end the career politician and allow "new blood" to represent their constituents, but for no more than six-years, be it in the congress or the senate.

Why is the ability to recognize natural rights so important?  For the reasons I have enumerated and more...

When a law or mandate violates the Natural Law, or Justice, or Charity -- treating our neighbor the way we want to be treated -- it is automatically null and void.  This is not my opinion alone, but is rooted in the teachings of such well-known historical and ecclesiastical figures as St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine.  So influential have been their teachings on what constitutes a just or unjust law, that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and others have parroted and used those guidelines to fight for their natural rights, as an extension of the divinely revealed law of God almighty...

In fact, when Dr. King was behind bars in Birmingham, Alabama, he wrote his famous: Letter From A Birmingham Jail.  In that letter, he referenced -- by name -- both St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine, on what constitutes a just, or unjust law.   I might add that Dr. King was a Protestant, yet he recognized the truth of the tenets of justice as defined by those two great Catholic Saints...    

Now, we see what damage "president" Biden and company have already done to our nation, especially to those pre-born American citizens being torn apart in the womb, to placate -- and pay back -- his ongoing debt to the abortion "industry," in the form of "planned parenthood" and their brother-butchers.  This murderous cabal simply cannot satiate their diabolical thirst for the blood of the pre-born -- and now born!  Infanticide -- denying the tiny baby growing in the womb, the natural right to breathe air, as well as the liberty to live and to pursue happiness.

We, citizens of the United States of America, have the natural right to reject and disobey an unjust, illicit law or mandate, regardless of the consequences to our freedoms, or what is left of them at this point in time.  I know that such a statement is easier said than done, and it will take guts, not only to cement our rights as given to us by the hand of God, but also to secure the rights of our children and grandchildren -- our posterity!

Anything less, and we are slaves to the demon and those who worship it...

Pray for strength and honor!

Viva Cristo Rey -- our true freedom!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...

Hooray, I'm Saved!! I Have No Doubt About It -- "Bishop" Barron "Told" Me!

 So, you think that attaining eternal salvation is as difficult as hell?  Well, guess again; it's easy as pie!  Where have you been living; in a cave?  Don't you know that a prominent "bishop" -- with an enormous social media following -- has declared that all, or nearly all, men (and women) -- are saved?

Just who is this guru of the salvation message?  Why, it's none other than "Bishop" Barron.  This character was recently promoted to that august standing in what passes for the Catholic Church these days, by none other than the current occupant of the Chair of St. Peter, Bergoglio (Francis)...

Not that long ago, "Bishop" Barron was interviewed by the young "conservative" talking head, Ben Shapiro (a Jew).  The nice young man asked the good bishop if he could be saved outside of the Catholic Church.  Of course, with such a straightforward question, Barron had to muddy the waters by answering with some nonsensical doubletalk that left those listening or watching, scratching their collective heads.

Why couldn't Barron simply answer the question in the Catholic way -- to seek Christ.  That just might have led to further inquiry by Shapiro, and potentially respond to the actual graces floating around in the atmosphere.

Barron blew an opportunity to evangelize (true ecumenism) Shapiro, yet let him wallow in his error and material heresy, possibly, for the rest of his life!

On the other hand, sometime later, a Protestant pastor was also interviewed by Shapiro, and was asked the same question (it was apparent to me that Shapiro was searching for something, perhaps?).  The response from the pastor was completely the opposite of "Bishop" Barron, and spot-on: he preached Jesus Christ to Shapiro right on the spot!  

That incident reminds me of the time I was interviewed on local community TV in Keene, New Hampshire, about 20 years back.  The station was doing a series asking those of the various religions to discuss their beliefs and why they held their beliefs...  The gracious, but business-like lady interviewer, came right out and asked me why I was doing the interview... My response to her took her by surprise: "I am doing this to save your soul."   Now I realize that it wouldn't be me that could save her soul, but the Holy Ghost using me as His instrument to bring Christ to that non-Catholic woman...  Funny, it was after the interview, and after the cameras were turned off, that we had a more relaxed and interesting conversation!

Getting back to "Bishop" -- everyone is saved -- Barron...  I wonder if Barron reads the Bible?  If he does, then his silly take on salvation is even more puzzling, because there are numerous passages that point out that not everyone is saved; just the opposite... Here is an excerpt from a major discourse that our Lord had with the Pharisees, not far from the Mount of Olives, and shortly after entering the temple He was questioned by the Pharisees to tempt Him... (See St. John, chapter 8: verses 21, 23, 24, King James version).  (Please read the entire chapter in order to see the points of His discourse with the Pharisees...)

Verse 21: "... I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: wither I go, ye cannot come. Verse 23: "And he said unto them, ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. Verse 24: "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 

I think it is quite clear that when the Son of God, Jesus Christ, tells someone that they will die in their sins, that means they will end up in hell, not heaven!

It is plain to me, anyway, that "Bishop" Barron doesn't know what he's talking about, but what's worse, he is spreading scandal and confusion, not only among Catholics, but also to those outside the Church that Christ founded for the salvation of souls.  If someone is told that they are saved already, why the necessity of becoming Catholic in the first place??

"Thanks," "Bishop" Barron, for your heterodoxy, as well as your obvious lack of concern for the eternal destiny of our immortal souls...

Sad...

(Do any of my readers think that I'm off base here?  If so, leave a comment and I'll discourse with you...)

Pray for your enemies, and pray for strength and honor!

For Real? Bergoglio (Francis) Writes That We Might Face Another Noah-Type Flood -- Due To "Global Warming"!

 So now we have junk-scientist Bergoglio (Francis) warning us that we may face another Noah-type flood if we don't take measures to address "global warming."

Wouldn't it be a good thing if the one who is supposed to be the Vicar of Christ -- wait a minute; he no longer considers himself the vicar!  (see here: Abp Viganò: Has Pope Francis now ‘disavowed’ being Vicar of Christ? | News | Lifesitenews) -- would concentrate on the mass exodus of members of the novus ordo "church," with pews emptying and revenues down.  Not to mention the continued assault of innocent youth by predator, homosexual "priests" and "bishops," and address such scandals, instead of addressing the mythology of "global warming"?  

Bergoglio said this: “God’s wrath is directed against injustice, against Satan,” the pope states in a book titled Of Vices and Virtues due for release Tuesday. “It is directed against evil, not that which derives from human weakness, but evil of Satanic inspiration: the corruption generated by Satan.”  (Excerpted from an article in Breitbart.com by Thomas D. Williams, PH.D.  See the complete article here: Pope Francis Warns of Second ‘Great Flood’ from Global Warming (breitbart.com.)

Can it be the Holy Ghost that is inspiring Bergoglio (Francis) to emphasize "global warming" while ignoring those real issues plaguing the church?  

If not the Holy Ghost, then whom? 

I'll let my readers make that determination by using God-given common sense...

Remember, Bergoglio said that if Catholics don't accept Vatican II as the Magisterium of the Church, they are not Catholic!  (See my article: More Heterodox Insults Hurled At Christ, Emanating From The Vatican..., and this: How modernists use ‘weaponized orthodoxy’ to silence conservative Catholics | Opinion | LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

Faithful Catholics and the Church are truly being chastised; a necessary refining process to separate the imperfect ore from the pure gold -- of the real faith...

Deafening Silence From "Conservatives"...

 Clap your hands!  Shout for joy!  

CPAC does it again!!  Let's see the Golden Calf -- I mean the golden statue of former President Trump!!

I love you "conservatives," because I am one of you -- or am I?

I have a question: where is Rush Limbaugh when you need him?   (We know that he went to his Maker to be judged -- as we all will be judged...)

But we need him back!

Or, at least someone that can speak some measure of truth as he did on many occasions.

Look, Rush wasn't always right on all things to all people -- he was no St. Paul: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. (King James Version.)

However, numerous times I heard Mr. Limbaugh defend Catholic Church teaching on abortion and homosexuality.   That's more than I can say for the majority of Catholic bishops and priests.  This is especially true in the runup to the 2020 presidential election, with those shepherds knowing that Biden and company had the most radical agenda when it came to supporting those criminals deliberately snuffing out the innocent lives of babies in the womb.

Yet most of the clergy were silent.  Why?

As for the secular "conservatives," sure, there were some leaning toward the right on the political landscape who pointed out the radicalism that would be written by executive orders on day one of the new "administration," fulfilling their deranged promise to promote "reproductive rights" as payback to their cronies, i.e., "planned parenthood," et al...

So, it took a former "planned parenthood" manager, Abby Johnson -- a convert to the Catholic faith -- to shout from the housetops, that CPAC was, for all practical purposes, gutless, when it came to preaching the Natural Law, Christ, country, and traditional family values.  Her main point was that the powers that be at CPAC, took the low road, and pandered to the LGBT and homosexual "communities" in order to garner sponsorships (money) for their organization, as well as claiming "diversity," sort of...  

As she boldly pointed out, there is no real "diversity" or genuine equality, without Jesus Christ! 

Good for you, Mrs. Johnson!

Now more than ever, we should not -- and cannot -- remain silent in the face of moral and spiritual evil.  If we do, then we will certainly have much to explain when we face Christ at our Particular Judgment...

Pray for strength and honor!

More Heterodox Insults Hurled At Christ, Emanating From The Vatican...

 It's pretty difficult these days getting up in the morning and facing another onslaught of bad news, not only in the secular realm, but also in the ecclesiastical world.  Such constant negative news can directly affect our mood, which, in turn, can affect our interactions with family, friends, and business associates.

Unfortunately, a good deal of that news is generated by Catholics, especially those in politics.  But what about Catholics in the hierarchy of the Church; our shepherds and pastors?

I might be mistaken, but it seems to me that ever since Bergoglio (Francis) took the papacy hostage back in 2013, there has been an almost continuous flow of heterodoxy and idol worship emanating from the Vatican, hurling insults at Christ.  And there have been many... 

Bear with me as I point out just a few such incidents that have plagued the Catholic world, and confused, not only the faithful, but also those outside the Church that may have had thoughts of entering the Spotless Bride of Christ -- of the divine Founder...

A caveat is necessary here regarding the scandals and misrepresentations of authentic church teaching: the actions of evil men (sinners) does not make the church herself evil or corrupt; that, as I have written many times, is a spiritual impossibility.  How so?  Simply, because Christ, the Perfect Head, cannot have a rotten, gangrenous, corrupt Body.  (This is where Martin Luther screwed-up.  He equated the evil that men do with the supposed corruption of the Mystical Body of Christ -- the Church.)

I said that I would point out several incidents and actions that Bergoglio and his subordinates perpetrated on the Catholic -- and secular -- world...

A couple of years ago, there was the scandal of idolatry with the Pachamama "phenomenon," basically worshiping a piece of wood in the shape of a pregnant woman.  Some apologists for the pope and his cabal of corrupt hierarchs, claimed that no one actually bowed down to that piece of painted wood.  But videos show otherwise.  The following is an excerpt from an article on lifesitenews.com from December, 2020: "Pope Francis had, on October 27, 2019 – at the closing Mass of the Amazon Synod – placed on that very same altar a highly controversial bowl of plants that had been offered up to the false goddess Pachamama at the beginning of the Amazon Synod. Many saw in this bowl an occult sign, an offering to a demon, that was scandalously placed on God's altar on which the Pope offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass."

Let us continue...

Just recently, Bergoglio declared that the Second Vatican Council is the Magisterium of the Church!

As a further insult, he then admonished (warned?) faithful Catholics that if they (we) don't accept Vat. II as the Magisterium, they (we) are not Catholic!

And the last insult to Christ, comes this apostacy: there will be an "interreligious" gathering of "Catholics," and who knows who, at the ancient city of Ur in Iraq, just a stone's throw from the Tower of Babel.  I wonder, is this by accident?  Another Assisi 2.0, or worse, perhaps?  

So, what are faithful Catholics to do when confronted with this heterodox nonsense?  

First, Christ has commanded that we pray for our enemies.  Number two, cling to orthodoxy and the real Magisterium of the real Catholic Church, and, three, stay away from those who would kill, not only the body, but can kill the soul and cast it into hell...

Remember, the buck stops here -- at the pope's desk...

Pray for strength and honor!

Viva Cristo Rey -- now, more than ever!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...
