Movable Type 3.2ysb5-20051201 Couragous Priest Denounces "Moloch" Rising in the U.S. tag:romanticcatholic.com,2009:/blog//1.24 2009-03-27T18:48:31Z 2009-03-27T18:48:53Z community Father Richard Perozich, a San Diego-area priest, demonstrated great courage with his recent message to his parishioners, "100 Days or End of Days," which was printed in the bulletin on February 1, 2009.


Here is a lengthy snippet from Father Perozich's statement.
It's well worth sharing, far and wide:


The "governator" Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in a 1999 movie called "End of Days" where the devil was to come to take over the world. In the story line the devil must mate with and be born of a certain mortal if he is to escape hell and begin his reign of dominance over human hearts and freedom, to oppress people with death, pride, avarice, greed, sloth, ire, gluttony and lust. Arnold plays a man wounded spiritually and emotionally who ultimately opposes the devil who is defeated and reconsigned to hell for another 1,000 years. In real life, however, his legislation works for Satan.


The first 100 days of a new presidency is the time when legislation desired by the new leader is rammed through the congress without much discussion and over the objections of the minority party. It often is not good legislation, has been brewing in the hearts of special interest groups for years, who now have a vehicle to impose their will on the American people.


If the special interest groups have their way, the first 100 days will spell the end of days for the American nation as we have known it since 1776. Abominations will be forced on us by the new government, such as which our founders never had intended, and certainly opposed to the Christian life: abortion on demand, homogenital sex, lust in all its forms, euthanasia, stem cell killling, cloning, taxes, oppression of opportunity and entrepreneurs, silencing of faith and free speech among many.


In the Old Testament, God’s chosen people abandoned Him and sacrificed their own innocent children to a demon god called Moloch in hopes of a good harvest to feed themselves. The cult of Moloch lives on today, but just not under the god’s formal name, but in the name of abortion, or rightly put, murder of children in the womb to promote false promises, ruined lives, and degraded humanity.


Abortion is our god and Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy are his prophets. His sacrifice is the life of infants and the souls of mothers. His priests are doctors who perform abortions. His church is Planned Parenthood and FOCA, (freedom of choice act). His covenant promises rights and freedom for women. It delivers death of infants, [and] permanent damage to the souls of women, of men, of politicians.


Homosexual lust is our god and Obama, Bishop Gene Robinson, and the Democratic Party are his prophets. The sacrifice is personal integrity and corruption of the body and spirit. Its priests and priestesses are men who have sex with men (MSM) and women who have sex with women (WSW). Its church is the Human Rights Campaign and other activist organizations, Pride clubs and "gay" and "lesbian" centers. Its covenant offers false promises of equality with those who have normal sexual feelings and inner peace. It delivers disease, prolonged adolescent immaturity, and oppression of the church and good people who live upright moral lives.



Money is our god, and the the wealthy and welfare are its prophets. Its sacrifice is hard earned savings and retirement. Its priests are those taking obscene profits by defrauding investors, and those who choose government money over honest work. Its church is a non vigilant Securities and Exchange Commission and congress. Its covenant promises self reliance and security in wealth or sustenance. It delivers collapse of the economy, unfair distribution of wealth, and a drain on the tax system.


Socialism is our god, and Obama is his prophet. Its sacrifice is personal freedom. Its priests are politicians and communist ideological organizations. Its church are legislatures and executive branches in government. Its covenant promises fairness and sameness for all. It delivers power and wealth those who already possess it and takes away opportunity for those out of power and destroys of the economy and future for others.


Liberalism is our god and the Democratic Party is his prophet. Its sacrifice is freedom, integrity, opportunity, and wholeness. Its priests are the fascist elites in government, education, and bureaucracies, who wish to control others’ thoughts and actions. Its churches are political parties, universities, and corrupt professional organizations. Its covenant promises unbridled freedom for perversion of the natural law and oppression for all who disagree with it. It delivers the breakdown of society, constitutional government, and true freedom for morally minded people, especially faithful Christians.


For us Christians, these are abominations, and the people who promote them are truly overcome by evil. 2 Peter 2:19-20 "They promise them freedom, though they themselves are slaves of corruption, for a person is a slave of whatever overcomes him. For if they, having escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of (our) Lord and savior Jesus Christ, again become entangled and overcome by them, their last condition is worse than their first.
"

This may not be the change you wanted when you voted for new government, but it is the change you voted for if you did not clearly listen to the evil promises of the new prophets and priests of the new "churches" and ignored the warnings about the new evils that this government clearly promised to impose on America. . . .
]]> Vatican channel on YouTube receives 750,000 visits first week tag:romanticcatholic.com,2009:/blog//1.23 2009-02-04T02:58:52Z 2009-02-04T03:00:07Z community Rome, Feb 3, 2009 / 02:03 pm (CNA).- The Italian news agency SIR reported this week that since its debut on January 23, the Vatican’s YouTube channel has received more than 750,000 visits.

 http://youtube.com/vatican

According to the Director of the Holy See’s Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi, who was answering questions from reporters about the YouTube channel, said, “During the first six days since the opening of the new channel, the page views in the four languages (English, Italian, German and Spanish) have reached more than 750,000.”

“The Google analysts we have consulted,” he continued, “think our channel is absolutely aligned with the levels of visits of other (sites) that were launched even much earlier.”

In comments to the SIR news agency, Archbishop Paul Tighe, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, explained that “the relationship between the theme of the World Day of Social Communications (New Technologies, New Relations. Promoting a culture of respect and friendly dialogue) and the Pope’s exhortation about YouTube has been—and is—one of the most significant elements at the basis of the efforts of our dicastery.”

“We have again underscored that not only is it important to embrace and sustain theoretically the development of the new technologies, but also to offer a concrete sign of such a reality,” he added.

]]> Bio-Engeneered pets. OAX or REAL ? tag:romanticcatholic.com,2008:/blog//1.22 2008-12-11T21:16:14Z 2008-12-11T21:23:23Z community Foot in mouth Is it REAL?

Today i received an email from one of my cousins Lupita which contained detailed information about a company that sells mass-produced Bio-engineered pets, this company claims to have created a living pet that can be purchased as a toy that lives, breaths, feeds and bonds with affection to it's owner and it dies in a lifespan of 1 or 3 years depending on the model you purchase

My cousin appeared to be shocked at the fact the this people are playing the role of GOD, and it is something alarming certainly

So we decided to do some research on this...

The website in Question is www.GenPets.com . this website shows how its done and the look and feel of it seems to be really professional, so it can easily confuse people into thinking it's a real company selling real Gen-Pets. But we stumble across to the fact that you can not purchase this item at all.

So we digged deeper to find out the truth and this is what we found:

It Turned out these are actually sculptures (including circuitry and robotics) created by 24-year-old Canadian commercial artist Adam Brandejs.  The artist explained that in conjunction with a 2005 exhibition of his work, the point of Genpets is to get the public thinking about the concept of bioengineering and how they feel about where that science might lead us: "I'm not against bioengineering, I'm simply hesitant towards where and how and by whom the technology will be used. " the artist said in an article published in snopes.com.

If you're still caught up on whether they're real or not, that's ok, a lot of people are, but that's not the point of the work. Slow down, stop, and think. Think about why it is that you probably, like most people seeing the work, find it highly disturbing on some level, and yet, still want to buy one. Why is it that you're so inclined to buy things, no matter what? And what is it that makes this concept so disturbing, or not disturbing to you? Consider both sides of the issue, and consider how we treat animals in farms, and pet stores today. How does that relate?.

As technology advances, we always have to be aware of the Moral issues involved in it, and try to do our best to not take part of the Inmoralarily of this world.

God Bless

]]> Called Out of Darkness tag:romanticcatholic.com,2008:/blog//1.21 2008-12-01T22:34:27Z 2008-12-01T22:34:48Z community  

 Called Out of Darkness Book

 

This month’s Book of the Month Club selection is the captivating memoir “Called Out of Darkness,” by Anne Rice

“Called out of Darkness” is the powerful story of Anne Rice’s journey of spiritual transformation from cradle Catholic, through adult atheism, to a return to devout Catholicism.

Rice shares the childhood memories of her home, church, family life and traditions in New Orleans. This view is a rich and colorful reflection of “faith, beauty and harmony” that she experienced growing up as a devout child in a deeply religious Irish Catholic family.

The deterioration and death of Rice’s alcoholic mother led her to a powerlessness that she resented. Rice’s “faith began to crack apart,” and she left for college to explore the world in search of broader experiences, risk and the life of an artist. As she settled into school and marriage in Berkeley, Calif., she became a nationally know writer for books on vampires and the realms of good and evil, reflecting her own moral struggles. She says during this time she retreated from Catholicism, and stopped believing in the God of her youth.

During that time, Rice experienced personal tragedy when her 5-year-old daughter died of leukemia. She then had a son, Christopher, and spent 38 years writing books that took her on a spiritual journey back to God. 

While researching her books, the groundwork for the atheism she embraced became shaky and she eventually lost her faith in the “nonexistence” of God.

In her courageous struggle back to her roots in the church, Rice says it was only through love and trust that belief followed. This book allows religious and secular readers to enjoy the colorful and descriptive world of Anne Rice and her intensely powerful conversion.

]]> Ash Wednesday & Lent ! tag:romanticcatholic.com,2008:/blog//1.16 2008-02-05T20:11:51Z 2008-02-05T20:13:12Z As you know, Jesus retreated into the wilderness and fasted for forty days to prepare for his ministry.

It was for Him a time of contemplation, reflection, and preparation. By observing Lent, most Christians join Jesus on His retreat.

Lent consists of the forty days before Easter. In the western Church, we skip over the Sundays when we count the days of Lent, because Sunday is always the joyful celebration of the Resurrection. Therefore, the first day of Lent in the western Church is always a Wednesday.

Biblical societies relied very heavily on wood fires for heating and cooking, which meant that keeping ashes under control was a major housekeeping task. Then as now, if a person was preoccupied with something serious, they didn’t always tend to the housekeeping—it’s the least of their concerns. Imagine that there is a death in the family. A friend stopping by to pay their respects might gently say, “Did you know you have ashes on your face?”

So ashes became a sign of remorse, repentance, and mourning. Today someone might wear a black armband to signify that they are in mourning; back then people put ashes on their foreheads.

You can find biblical examples of this in 2 Samuel 13:19, Esther 4:1-3, Job 42:6, and Jeremiah 6:26. During Lent, ancient Christians mourned their sins and repented of them, so it was appropriate for them to show their sincerity by having ashes on their foreheads. The custom has persisted in the church as secular society has changed around us.
It is most appropriate on Ash Wednesday, when we begin a period of sober reflection, self-examination, and spiritual redirection.

Traditionally, the ashes for the Ash Wednesday service come from burning the palm fronds from the previous year’s Palm Sunday celebration. If you burn the palm fronds yourself, don’t add any other ingredient—just burn the ashes plain. Add a little oil to the ashes so that they will stick to people’s foreheads. Of course, it is easier to purchase them from a religious supply house. Don’t overestimate how much you need! It is amazing how far a small amount of ashes will go!

Some people only celebrate the happy times in Jesus’ life: Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, and Christmas. But I think as true friends, we should also watch and pray with Him on Maundy Thursday, stand by Him at the cross on Good Friday, and retreat with Him into the wilderness during Lent.

God Bless.
