"Feed my lambs" (You are responsible for the basic teachings of the newly initiated in the faith).

"Tend my sheep"
(Control the activities of believers so that they do not stray from the truth.  Do this after the manner of a shepherd [the flock disperses without a true shepherd (Mk. 14:27)]who not only searches for the lost and leads by example, but also disciplines them as needed --to the extent required-- so long as they are part of the fold).

"Feed my sheep" (Give stable and second generation believers the more advanced teachings they need so that, for them, faith is a continuing growth process).


HUMAN NATURE HAS NOT CHANGED
___ The Israelites were given witness, prior to and following their departure from Egypt, about the power of God.  They were given knowledge as to what was expected while Moses was on the mountain top, yet they disobeyed.  Moses gave them the commandments, but they would not pay attention to them until death was meted out to many of them.  The survivors of that generation finally paid attention.


Soon the lessons were forgotten.  Succeeding generations began offending God by breaking His commandments whenever discipline became lax.  Unenforced teachings and laws soon become useless.  They can even reach the point of becoming counter-productive when not given adequate witness by enforcement.  Evidence of this is given by the great number of Church going Catholics who practice birth control.


JESUS Increased, not Decreased, the Number of Sins which Condemn Men
___  Through lack of legitimate discipline many have come to believe that the New Testament is all hugs and kisses.  They believe the discipline of the Old Testament has been done away with, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Jesus made it clear that, "(Old Testament) scripture cannot loose its force" (Jn. 10:35).  Jesus did not come to reduce the number of crimes that could be committed by mankind --as established in the Old Testament-- but rather to increase them:

1. Committing adultery by thought as well as by act.  "You have heard that it was
______said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'  But I say to you, everyone who looks
______at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
______(Mt. 5:27-28)

2. Anger now equated with murder.  "You have heard that it was said to your
_____ ancestors, 'You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.'
_____ But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment,
_____ and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin,
_____ and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna."
(Mt. 5:21-22)

3. Failure to reject known sinful visual and other sources of temptation
with warn-
_____ings of severe penalties.  "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and 
_____ throw it away.  It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have 
_____ your whole body thrown into Gehenna.  And if your right hand causes you to
_____ sin, cut it off and throw it away.  It is better for you to lose one of your
           members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna."
  (Mt. 5:29-30)

4. Not only is taking a false oath evil but now false swearing has been made
_____ wrong. "Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'Do not
_____ take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow.'  But I say to
_____ you, do not swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God's throne"
(Mt. 5:33-34)

5. Externally commendable acts are non-meritorious if hypocritical"When you
_____ give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the
_____ synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you,
_____ they have received their reward."
(Mt. 6:2)

6. Evil acts are only the external manifestation of internal sins
.  "For from the heart
_____ come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness,
_____ blasphemy."
  (Mt. 15:19)

7. The Gospel of St. Mark names additional internal sins. "adultery, greed, malice, _____ deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly." (Mk. 7:22)

8. Marriage after divorce is equated with adultery. He said to them, "Whoever
_____ divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if
_____ she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
_____
Mk. 10:11-12 and Lk. 16:18

FAILURE TO ACT BRINGS PUNISHMENT
___  In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man was condemned for his failure to act justly, that is, he was condemned for his failure to do what he had the ability to do and did not do.

The Corporal Works of Mercy, of Matthew 25, present clear cases of condemnation for those who are not merciful, "Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.  And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

On judgement day is not Jesus apt to say, "When you did not defend the least of my brothers --the innocent unborn-- you did not defend me when it was just to do so." (NOTE: Jesus is innocent life and is of course the one exception.  He had a special mission to accomplish in life which would not have succeeded if He had allowed Himself to be defended.  Jesus Himself acknowledged that He was special, an exception (Mk. 14:7)He refused defense "that the Scriptures may be fulfilled" (Mk. 14:49).  Regardless of the reason God lets evil occur (He always has a reason), those who do evil (or permit it) are accursed. (Mk. 14:21)  Everyone is guilty who permits the innocent to be killed and sets guilty murderers free. (Mk. 15:7-15))

COWARDICE NOT ACCEPTABLE
___  Cowards are first to be mentioned for condemnation.  Bishops and priests are not excluded from suffering these consequences.

___________"But as for cowards, the unfaithful, the depraved,
____________murderers, the unchaste sorcerers, idol-worshipers,
____________and deceivers of every sort, their lot is the
____________burning pool of fire and sulfur
,
____________which is the second death."
(Rev. 21:8)

BISHOPS
___  Shouldn't bishops heed these words of Jesus?  "I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven." (Mt. 5:20-22) Don't bishops often say, "We proclaim your death Lord Jesus until you come in your glory."  Isn't it hypocritical to say something you don't mean?

Anyone who believes that obedience should be given to any bishop or to civil law in preference to love of God, or to love of neighbor as oneself, is far from the gates of Heaven.  Many otherwise sincere Catholics have a simplistic acceptance, unrealistic as it often is, of the authority of their own bishop whether he is in conformity with the formal teaching of his Church or not.

Silent  AGGRESSOR - click here

____________ How many are active in other anti-Catholic,
____________ anti-God organizations or mind sets?

____________ How many Government Agents are there who have
____________ infiltrated the ranks of the Catholic priesthood?

____________ Are not all of these anti-Christ's?

____________ Shouldn't their true identity as Satanists be publicly
____________ stated along with deserved penalties?

The above seems to be the more logical reasons for the gross negligence in regard to, and for the lack of enforcement of, Church discipline and teachings.  Doesn't the Vicar of Christ have the greatest overall responsibility for such enforcement?  Wouldn't his guilt be the greatest?

Majority of Hierarchy
___  While the majority of the hierarchy may not be involved in the above sins, they easily could be involved with attachment to one or more of a variety of human weaknesses.  Many may have weakness due to their personal orientation.  (NOTE:  While orientation itself is not sinful, any associated action, whether material or mental, is grievously offensive to God.)  Their orientation may be toward homosexuality, pedophilia, or fetishes.  And sadly, some may have no orientation at all.  They may be experiencing a sense of being without identity.  They cannot relate to natural society.  While sin is not imputed with unnatural orientation, denial of God's will concerning such orientation is sinful.

During the life of Jesus here on Earth, the high priest, chief priests, the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, and elders did not recognized or did not want to accept truth when it was presented to them.  Is this not also the major problem within the hierarchy of the Catholic Church today.  Bishops and priests of today either do not recognize truth or are not willing to accept truth when it is presented to them.  Such men are not of God. They can only be of Satan.

D
ICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE PAPAL OFFICE AND THE POPE
___  While I believe highly in the office of Peter (the papacy), I do not automatically feel attached to the person who fills the office.  The man in the office must prove himself worthy of the office he holds.  He must by both word and by action demonstrate that he is faithful to the office he holds.  There are no unexplainable problems with John Paul's formal teachings, but his actions do not give witness to any sincerity of belief regarding official Church teachings.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994 --published with the input and approval of John Paul II-- while generally well written, attempts to weaken Biblical and traditional teachings on at least the following positions; the 5th Commandment presentations on the death penalty and on war.  Paragraph 2267 strongly attempts to subvert the prescription for capital punishment in opposition to Genesis. 9:6 and other death prescriptions.  This is analyzed in LEU - News & Notes, Vol. 1-4, in the section on Senility or Spiritual Witlessness.  A common argument used to oppose the death penalty is the story of the adulterous woman.  This is soundly refuted in an article entitled, Religion's Number One Problem, under the section, The Structure of Authority.

While it is understandable that one should have a legitimate dread of war, particularly if one has lived in a war zone, it should be clear that wars are used as an instrument of God to call attention to grievous sins of mankind so that they might repent.  Jesus said that wars must happen, (You will hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end.).  This basic statement is found in each of the 1st three gospels: Matthew 24:6; Mark 13:7;  and Luke 21:9.

The pope, bishops, and the world as a whole deny or otherwise separate themselves from the existence of an everyday war against the unborn.  More lives have already been lost in this war than in all of the combined wars of history, as has already been illustrated.  The pope and bishops can best be compared with Caiaphas and other priests of Jesus' time.  They preferred the death of an innocent man to war with the Romans (Jn. 11:50).  John Paul and most bishops prefer the deaths of millions, if not billions, of the innocent unborn to civil strife.  Adult deaths in such a conflict could never begin to compare to the numbers annually lost to procured abortion.

Joyous LITURGIES have become MOCKERY
___  Joyous liturgical celebrations are mockery when so many innocent lives are being trampled upon each day and so little is actively being done to stop the MURDER of preborn humans. Under such circumstances do people really believe that God is pleased with celebrations proclaiming salvation and joy?  Should not at least the homilies (sermons) proclaim the present disharmony of the world with God?  Shouldn't the congregations be given well deserved admonishment for their indifference to abortion and the condition of society?

Christmas and Easter celebrations attract great crowds of people who are in denial of sin.  Twice yearly they participate in the festivities and leave none the wiser.  Almost all receive both the Body and Blood of Christ, generally to their detriment. Today most eat and drink without discerning the body.  They thereby bring judgement upon themselves (1Cor. 11:29) .  It is however pretentious celebrants who are deserving of, and will receive, the greatest condemnation because of their sin of omission.  (Further, how much sincerity can there be in a 2,000 year Jubilee Celebration under present worldwide Church conditions?)

If the Church and the world are as fouled up as appearances would lead one to believe, then there is no hope for anything but worldly destruction at the hand of God; and then judgement.

       Pope advises that something must be done --- But, it would seem, in order to prevent the killing of innocent people we must be careful not to kill guilty people no matter how many times they have murdered; and, if not stopped will continue to commit numerous murders. It would seem that the value of guilty born people is greater than the value of innocent unborn people.

       David's premeditated killing of Goliath -- whom David told that he would cut off his head with his own sword -- would be considered as an unjust act according to our modern way of thinking. Since both basic human nature and God's truths remain the same throughout time, either David did wrong or the contemporary opinions/beliefs of the Church hierarchy is wrong. God's methods of dealing with humans does not regress, it progresses.
