Reflection on Gal 3:2-3

In chapter two, the Apostle points out that we are not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Christ (v.16) and if justification came through the law, then Christ died in vain (v.21). So justification requires faith in Christ Jesus. And now the Apostle reveals that this faith in Christ is also necessary for man to receive the fullness of the Spirit of God like the Apostles on the Day of Pentecost. He makes it clear that one does not receive the Spirit of God by the works of the law but again, only and only by faith in Jesus.

Why will the flag of Tibet not be raised in the Vatican?

Francis wants friendly relations with China; therefore he is careful so as not to meet with the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama’s repeated requests for an audience in the Vatican repeatedly meet with a negative response.The Dalai Lama does not fit in with the Vatican’s strategic plans with China any more. However, he still fits in with the plans of Halík, Holub, Bělobrádek, university snob clubs and non-profit organizations. They use the myth of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan flags as a weapon against the Czech President because he is not in line with the NWO like them.

In his address on January 30, 2018, President Trump clearly expressed his attitude of a return to the foundations of the American nation, that is to Christian values. He said: “Together, we are rediscovering the American way. In America, we know that faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, are the center of American life. Our motto is ‘In God we trust’.”It was encouraging that after these words, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, sitting behind Trump, lifted his right hand and his eyes to heaven and said loudly, “Amen!”

German bishops have elevated an abomination as a sacrament

German Cardinal R. Marx has introduced blessing ceremonies for homosexual couples as part of pastoral care. The priest who wants to administer this new “sacrament” will be authorized by his bishop. (Britain’s newspaper Catholic Herald, Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Radio), 3 Feb 2018).Card. Marx and all the bishops who are in unity of spirit with him incur the punishment of exclusion from the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church (excommunication).The main responsibility for Islamization and gender-homosexuality in Germany rests with German heretical bishops. They lead the nation to autogenocide and to eternal condemnation in hell.

Lilianne Ploumen, former Dutch Minister, has been honoured by Pope Francis with the title of Commander in the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St Gregory the Great.Ms Ploumen is extremely active in the promotion of abortion and homosexualism. She has been loaded with honours for it. It is scandalous that Francis has also honoured her with a high pontifical award! He has thus publicly approved of abortions and homosexuality.

What does it mean to set aside the grace of God? It means to disregard it, to misuse it, or not to accept by faith what God gives. He paid so dearly, did His most, and not to make the least effort on our part – i.e. not to accept by faith what God has done for me – is really a grave insult to God. This is setting aside grace! The Apostle says that this is not what he does – he does not set aside grace but rather uses it. And this should be true of each of us – I do not set aside the grace of God!

Both in the Epistle to the Romans and the Epistle to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul points to the deep truth which concerns our justification from sin. He says that we know that a man is not justified before God by his works but by faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. We who have believed in Christ Jesus have been justified from our sins by faith in Him.

Statement concerning the declaration of the Bishops of Kazakhstan

On 31 December 2017, Archbishop Tomasz Peta, Auxiliary Bishop Athanasius Schneider and the retired Archbishop Jan Pawel Lenga published a statement responding to Francis’ approval of pastoral guidelines issued by the Buenos Aires bishops which degrade Holy Communion and the sacrament of marriage. The statement by the Kazakhstan bishops as well as the statement by four Cardinals against the Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, which was also opposed by a number of signatories of the “Correction”, are an appeal to Francis to correct his statements by which he undermines the dogmas of the Catholic Church.

The way of holiness is the way of purification

The way of holiness is the way of purification. We need to be healed by Jesus, little by little, of all kinds of wounds or bad habits. This mostly concerns our soul. Suffering is usually spiritual rather than physical, but the various sufferings lead to deliverance and healing. We suffer, for example, when we face the truth about ourselves, our neighbours and the world. It is so simple and yet so disguised. In essence, we need to begin to live the Gospel to the full.

What does the word heir express? The Word of God says that if we are children, we are also heirs. And how do we become children of God? By receiving Jesus: “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” (Jn 1:12) Salvation, which Jesus obtained for us through His blood in a hard struggle on Calvary, is given us freely as an inheritance through faith. We should obtain grace for other people too, that they also may receive Jesus and share in the inheritance of eternal life after death.

Das Geheimnis von Fatima nach 100 Jahren - Erster Teil: Apostasie in der Kirche (in German)

Post date:   2017-12-16
Autor:   BCP
Dieses Jahr ist der 100. Jahrestag der Marienerscheinungen in Fatima. Was ist diesen Erscheinungen vorausgegangen und was folgte danach? Im 18. Jahrhundert kam es zur Aufklärung. Nach der Aufklärung im 19. Jahrhundert folgte das Moderne Zeitalter. Es führte zur Zerstörung der grundlegenden Wahrheiten des Christentums – zur Apostasie in der Kirche. Das Papsttum wurde missbraucht, um einen Prozess des Autogenozids der Kirche einzuleiten. Johannes XXIII. und Paul VI. haben während ihres gesamten Papsttums die Ketzereien gefördert. Deshalb war und ist das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil ungültig und diese Päpste müssen als Ketzer posthum aus der Kirche exkommuniziert werden! Sie begangen ein weit größeres Verbrechen als Papst Honorius, der posthum aus der Kirche exkommuniziert wurde (vgl. Bulle von Paul IV. "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio"). Dies ist der erste Schritt zur wahren Buße für die Apostasie in der Kirche!

Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.

The Apostle asks: Does this blessedness, stemming from faith, come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? The Jews were very particular about circumcision and related it to the whole religious system of certain rites. The danger has always been that an emphasis on secondary things eliminates the essence – here the essence of salvation, which consists in personal relationship to God. Salvation depends on the saving faith based on the awareness that I am a sinner in the sight of God, which should lead me to humility and at the same time to trustful prayer for the forgiveness of my sins.

The putting off of the old self and the putting on of the new self begins in our mind

The process of putting off the old self and putting on the new self begins in our mind! Human nature, without respecting the law of the Gospel, reacts in the same way in essence: envy towards others, rivalry, envy when someone has something better, when someone has spiritual gifts, or even when someone carries a cross, and on the other hand self-pity and sulkiness (both before God and people). This all takes the subtlest forms, but it is in essence our “self” which refuses to humble itself, to live in uncertainty, to obey God and to submit to Him.

Tajemnica Fatimy po 100 latach - Część 1: Apostazja w Kościele (+ wideo - Polish version)

Post date:   2017-12-13

  W tym roku minęło 100 lat od zjawienia w Fatimie. Co tomu poprzedziło i co miało nastąpić?   W XVIII wieku nastąpiło oświecenie. W XIX wieku z oświecenia wyłania się modernizm. W rzeczywistości chodziło o zniszczenie podstawowych prawd chrześcijaństwa – o apostazje w Kościele. Papieski rząd był nadużyty, aby wprowadzić proces auto-genocydu w Kościele. Jan XXIII i Paweł VI, jako papieże, rozwinęli herezje. Dlatego Sobór Watykański II był i jest nieprawidłowy, a te papieże jako heretycy powinni być pośmiertnie ekskomunikowane z Kościoła! Oni popełnili wiele większą przestępczość niż papież Honoriusz, który został pośmiertnie ekskomunikowany z Kościoła (zob. Bulla Pawła IV «Cum ex Apostolatus Officio»). To pierwszy krok w kierunku prawdziwej pokuty za apostazje w Kościele!
