BCP: The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic is no longer Catholic. Therefore, it has no right to restitution belonging to the Catholic Church. (video)

Since January 24, 2024, when the Czech prelates of the Czech Bishops’ Conference officially accepted the non-Catholic and non-Christian teachings of Fiducia supplicans, they have lost their right to the property returned to the Catholic Church. The issue of fraudulent theft of billions from the state should be dealt with by the government and the relevant courts. The logical consequence of this should be the revocation of this organization’s state registration, as it has been operating under the name of the Catholic Church since January 24, 2024 in a fraudulent manner. With its new teachings and statutes, this organization has the right to apply for state registration under a different name that reflects its actual beliefs, which are completely opposed to Catholic teachings. It could be registered under an appropriate name, such as ‘Rainbow Synodal LGBTQ+ Church’.

Recourse to the Mother of Jesus

Even an unbelieving person, when suddenly confronted by a difficult situation, subconsciously cries out like a small child: “Mummy!” We can have recourse to Mary as our Mother. Jesus gave her to us as our Mother. Eve is the mother of the human race. Mary became our spiritual Mother. The task of a mother is not only to give birth to or receive children, but to feed and rear them. Mary accompanied Jesus on His Way of the Cross. None of the people knew Him so intimately, none was in so deep unity with Him as His Mother. And Jesus gave His Mother to us, His children. We have the same Mother: you and I and Jesus.

"As for His gifts, to some He gave to be apostles, to others prophets, or even evangelists, or shepherds and teachers. So He prepared those who belong to Him for the ministry, in order to build up the Body of Christ."

Reflection on Eph 4:11-12

We must realize that there are natural gifts and there are spiritual gifts. God gives the natural ones at birth. For example, some people have a good memory, they can learn quickly, others have a natural gift of caution, others of zeal, which is directly connected to their nature, so they do not have to force themselves into it. Some have the gift of mildness, patience, while others have to overcome themselves and deny themselves a lot in order to be patient. However, even these natural gifts are integrated by God through the Holy Spirit after conversion, so that on them, as on a healthy foundation, there is also a special grace that develops these natural gifts. For example, someone has a natural sense of self-criticism, of truthfulness, cannot be inactive when they see that it is necessary to make sacrifices and suffer for the truth, so they also have a natural disposition for the gift of prophecy. If someone recognizes these traits in themselves, it is necessary to pray that God, by His grace, will further confirm the prophetic gift in this disposition. Another has a natural gift to teach others. It is also necessary to pray that the Spirit of God will add to this gift the supernatural gift of being a teacher and explaining the truths of God. But I emphasize again that in order for all gifts to be functional, they must have a common denominator, and that is: denying yourself, taking up your cross and following Christ. If we put into practice the words of Jesus, ‘Repent and believe in the Gospel,’ the gifts develop. Otherwise, they stagnate and are ineffective.

The Parable of the Two Debtors

In one of the gospels, Jesus tells a parable of two debtors – one who owed ten thousand talents, the other who owed a hundred denarii. You forgive something small and the Lord forgives you millions in debt. What folly it is to know this and not act on it. We need to put this into practice on a daily basis. By eagerly forgiving others and walking in truth and light, we get healed and free from all sorts of indefinable or definable gloomy emotions or feelings of guilt. These are false emotions. Ask yourself – Where is Jesus in all this? And where are you? Are you in your self or in Christ when you have such thoughts? If you are in Christ, God’s word is your guide as interpreted in the Spirit and in truth, rather than by the evil spirit in the wilderness.

“Lord, let fire come down from heaven!”

At Elijah’s word: “Lord, let fire come down from heaven”, fire came down and consumed the bull on Mount Carmel, and then it came down twice more and consumed fifty soldiers each time. However, that fire had come down into him first. The Prophet Elijah had experience of the fire of God. This fire had already purified his soul. So this fire should purify us.

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Reflection on Rom 12:2

Today’s world is characterized by many inventions which meet people’s needs quickly and easily: instant foods, instant electronic communication, instant information stored in high speed computers, etc. These are the hallmarks of today’s ‘instant’ generation. Christians must remember, however, that there is no such thing as ‘instant maturity’ in the Christian experience. Becoming a Christian begins a lifetime adventure of knowing God better and loving Him more. God’s Word says: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Rom 12:2) Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold, but let God re-mold your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good, meets all His demands and moves towards the goal of true maturity.

Christ helps us carry our daily cross

Every day we can call on Jesus, when worries and vanities overwhelm us and we lack the strength to do the will of God, when we have an urge either to do nothing or to immerse ourselves in a problem which produces another problem and consequently we lose the essence, when we do anything else but not what we are to do. Then we need to fall to our knees, look into the eyes of Christ on the cross and say: “Jesus, I trust in You. You will give me the strength to carry the cross of this duty which I loathe and try to avoid. Please, give me the strength; I have none.” And Jesus will. Sometimes in an extraordinary way.

My cross is also the specific circumstances and situations

To carry our cross means first to identify what this cross is concretely. My cross, with regard to my character and my nature, is one thing and my brother’s cross is another thing. However, our cross is not just our character but also the specific circumstances and situations in which we are powerless. Whatever we do, nothing works. One can say: we just sink deeper and deeper. Then we must either suffer a blow through our own fault, or we need someone else to give us a blow so that we can finally be pulled out of the swamp.
