“Do not give what is holy to dogs,
or throw your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them underfoot,
and turn and tear you to pieces.”
(Matthew 7:6)
Dear Friends –
God’s sacred truths are what is holy, they are His invaluable pearls of great wisdom that are without flaw and therefore are to be treated with great reverence. Christ is advising us not to share these pearls with animals; undomesticated dogs and filthy swine, like pigs, hogs, and boars were considered undesirable and unclean in Biblical days and symbolically represent all that is evil by their grimy existence. Nonbelievers are like those animals incapable of spiritual thought, thus Christ warns us in our evangelical efforts to use discernment, for the Good News will be rejected and treated with contempt to the point of danger to the messenger. Such violent reactions can arise from these hostile animals who reject Godly Truths and they can turn on you with harm to justify themselves. Nobody knows that better than Christ who suffered the greatest rejection ever, being constantly torn asunder and eventually crucified on a cross. However, while He advises restraint, He also knows many will follow in His footsteps and pay that ultimate price for preaching the Gospel to save souls destined for hell.
Nonbelievers won’t take the time necessary to study God’s gems, to understand Him and His philosophy for life. The growing culture of relativism wants no boundaries, no authoritative dictates to their erroneous understanding of freedom, or rules that impose judgment on any behavior, good or bad. Free, unregulated, live for today and for self is the only lifestyle they want, completely unbounded – totally opposite of CERTITUDE - the state of being certain – which Christian beliefs mandate. There are absolutes God dictated, and they WILL NEVER CHANGE since the time of His utterance... they are positively certain for eternity. Half the world can become homosexual and it will still remain a sinful abomination to God. Man’s law can legalize abortion and euthanasia, but it will still be sinful horrendous killing in God’s Book. GOD DOES NOT CONFORM TO MAN AND THE CULTURE OF THE TIMES... man must learn to conform to God... and that’s a certitude!
The test of time has only validated God’s Theology, particularly when those Words became flesh in Jesus Christ, God’s Divine Son and the most extraordinary life ever lived... no greater teacher or influencer of history has ever existed. Divine occurrences over the centuries have kept alive the reality of Almighty God with displays by Jesus and The Blessed Lady in well-documented visions and apparitions making known Their continued efforts; testimonies to faith by religious martyrs willing to endure the unspeakable rather than denounce God; stigmatics, who receive the wounds of Christ crucified, suffer all the bloody horror He endured thus replicating and substantiating what transpired hundreds of years ago. All that proof is continually laid out by God Almighty as a banquet to be feasted on, or as gorgeous gems to be coveted and admired for their beauty and perfection. And yet, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, and lazy fools are similarly seen -- “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly” (Proverbs 26:11) for their unrelenting prattle is worthless up against Supreme Truth. God intentionally laid bare His Truths for all to profit from, but only Satan’s swine rejects a spiritual repast; thus, God will send Satan and his swine to roast in hell eternal... and that’s another certitude.
SHAME ON YOU EVILDOERS
CONCLAVE, THE MOVIE
While awaiting the Vatican Conclave to elect a new Pope last month, I became aware of this movie and thought watching it was apropos for setting the stage for the real event... what an absolutely shocking, sacrilegious portrayal I witnessed! The author had taken what was holy and dragged it through the muddiest of venues possible; I was nauseated by the depravity of all involved in propagating such total blasphemy. I was expecting some controversy... but not such horrendous evil... such contemptible disregard for Catholic sensibilities; fame, and fortune at the expense of religious ridicule... that’s the ever-growing fad that condones criticizing another’s beliefs. The book’s author, Robert Harris, is obviously a non-Catholic. He certainly capitalized by sensationalizing and slandering all that is sacred with his evil imagination, which can only postulate the negative because spiritual prowess is beyond his Biblically closed mind and self-centered ego.
Evil cannot do positive – the Devil enables his disciples, like Harris, with his nasty abilities to deceive, divide, and destroy. Harris took the vulnerable, human side of the Catholic Church and exploded an unlikely, however possible, insignificant faction into a majority compromising domination, stretching creditability to unbelievably ridiculous extremes. Cardinals may not have an entirely holy history before entering the priesthood, but the Sacrament of Holy Orders endows priests with God’s graces and guidance. The certitude of The Church is theirs to oversee, and while philosophical ideals on the implementation of methods may differ, Dogma is never in dispute. Some Cardinals may choose a more liberal stance due to the needs of their Diocese, while others cling to the traditional values. However, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, would scheming, conniving, plotting, and promoting occur in the Sistine Chapel under the auspices of the Holy Spirit... Almighty God is choosing the next Pope best suited for the current needs whether it be theologian, administrator, or diplomat... His guidance alone influences and unites the Cardinals. Non-Christian Harris has no idea of the magnificent power and intercessory capabilities that our very real Supreme God possesses. Shame On You, Robert Harris, for ridiculing God and His Church... you are an illiterate swine that has stolen what is not yours and trampled all over God’s precious gems... pity you who has earned His wrath for it’s a certainty, hellfire awaits blasphemers.
As I looked out at the crowd gathered in Saint Peter's Square for the real Conclave, it was fascinating to see the thousands of faces gathered there relaying such beautiful virtue. You could have captioned any of their photos with: Faith, Hope, Charity, Purity, Innocence, Fervor, or Children of God. These are the good people of the world who have reasoned a belief in Almighty God, any community would be happy to have them as members. They are not the people to fear, committing smash-and-grab robberies, walking the halls of government or the news media with lies and deceit emanating from their evil relativistic core, cohabitating and giving birth out of wedlock, appearing practically nude in public, and on and on to the most immoral behavior possible. And yet, God and Christian values are ridiculed to promote and sanction evil negative behavior as the desired existence... nonbelievers stand by and do nothing to save their souls or their society's survival... they prefer the company of swine instead of God – Shame On All Nonbelievers.
