MEDJUGORJE POPE FRANCIS & THE CALUMNY CHAPEL

MEDJUGORJE & THE CALUMNY CHAPEL

....Calumny from the Catholic Encyclopedia is defined as....

-Calumny of Apelles, Sandro Boticelli Circa 1495

Calumny

Latin: (Calvor, to use artifice, to deceive)

“Etymologically any form of ruse or fraud employed to deceive another, particularly in judicial proceedings. In its more commonly accepted signification it means the unjust damaging of the good name of another by imputing to him a crime or fault of which he is not guilty. The sin thus committed is in a general sense mortal, just as is detraction..... Objectively, a calumny is a mortal sin when it is calculated to do serious harm to the person so traduced. Just as in the instance of wrongful damage to person or estate, so the calumniator is bound to adequate reparation for the injury perpetrated by the blackening of another's good name. He is obliged (1) to retract his false statements, and that even though his own reputation may necessarily as a consequence suffer. (2) He must also make good whatever other losses have been sustained by the innocent party as a result of his libellous utterances, provided these same have been in some measure (in confuso) foreseen by him. In canon law the phrase juramentum calumniae is employed to indicate the oath taken by the parties to a litigation, by which they averred that the action was brought and the defence offered  in good faith.”

-Catholic Encyclopedia

..we see that in MEDJUGORJE serious harm has been meted upon the Authoritative character of two good Bishops at Mostar since many in the clergy as well as the lay faithful have openly ignored his directives....which is to desist from attributing any supernatural character to these messages...and to submit all messages to him.. the current 4^th commission had not abrogated his authority on the matter & indeed it is the Bishop’s canonical duty to guide the faithful and many had willfully ignored this duty to comply...thus spreading scandal in the Church and leading many to complicit membership of the CALUMNY CHAPEL OF MEDJUGORJE...

-Taking of Christ, Caravaggio 1602

..now if one is objective and uses reason along with faith in the articles and laws of the Church one is able if guided by Counsel (prudence or the execution of right reason guided by the HOLY SPIRIT)..one will see that the sin of detraction and calumny is being committed against the good BISHOP of Mostar as well as his predecessor....since many proponents of MEDJUGORJE willfully claim that he has never had any authority but only personal opinion equivalent in measure to any lay person to discern these visions or to vanquish the promotion of such phenomenon as a supernatural occurrence....indeed this is no true..since according to the Canons of Church of which God is the first efficient formal cause we see it written...

Can. 375 §1. Bishops, who by divine institution succeed to the place of the Apostles through the Holy Spirit who has been given to them, are constituted pastors in the Church, so that they are teachers of doctrine, priests of sacred worship, and ministers of governance.

Can. 377 §1. The Supreme Pontiff freely appoints bishops or confirms those legitimately elected

...so one sees the Bishop is entrusted with the duty to govern the faithful with whom he is entrusted...the Pope has appointed such Bishop and so if one defies a Bishop they are defying the Supreme Pontiff indirectly....true Bishops who compel us to sin are not to be obeyed since this would fall out of the spiritual jurisdiction of their authority..however at MEDJUGORJE two good Bishops have never given anyone permission to sin through a directive....and so according to the law of the Church we are bound to obey....indeed until the results of the 4^th commission are made public the faithful are bound by the Bishop’s ruling as well as the Zadar Commission of not to make any pilgrimage a validation of supernatural events which call for further study if necessary....

Indeed the apparition itself has calumniated the Bishop which is quite sad...from the chronicles of the apparition one reads...

"On 19 06 1983, being present the visionaries Jakov, Marija and  Ivica, Our Lady appeared. After having answered some questions about the sick, by herself began to talk about you, Excellency. These are the thoughts that she told me : Tell the Bishop that I seek a quick conversion from him towards the happenings in Medjugorje, before it is too late. May he accept these events with plenty of love, understanding and great responsibility. I want him to avoid creating conflicts between priests and to stop publicizing their negative behaviours.
The Holy Father has given all bishops the duty to fulfill certain tasks in their respective dioceses. Among these, bishops are to solve problems and arguments. The bishop is the spiritual father of all the parishes in Hercegovina. For this reason I seek his conversion towards these events. I am sending my second-last warning. If what I seek does not come about, my judgement and the judgement of my Son await the Bishop. This means that he has not found the way to my Son Jesus.

...what judgement could the Virgin be speaking of since private revelations are never required for eternal salvation since they are not part of the deposit of faith and no one is obliged to believe...indeed the Virgin by making this statement is damaging the Bishops freedom and repudiating his fidelity to the doctrines of the Church...in effect she is saying he is a BAD Catholic....and so giving the faithful more fodder with which to defame his good character...

As well one reads.....

"26 April 1982 Monday
The bishop - she says – doesn’t possess a scrap of the true love of God for those two.
With regard to the bishop, Ivica and Ivan should be peaceful because he has placed a too heavy load on their shoulders, only to get rid of them. In fact, he has begun with the younger (friars) and then more and more forward [...] The bishop is not acting according to the will of God, and can do what he wants. But one day justice will be done, of the sort you haven’t seen for a long time. I will begin to slowly tidy all this and many Friars will be irradiated by a great happiness."

..now only God is the just judge...for Our Lady to read the breadth and depth of one’s soul in such a way is incorrect theologically speaking ...true we can judge whether a person has acted in a sinful manner but we cannot judge the content of the soul...by this statement Our Lady has caused many people to have a negative impression of the Bishop who is only doing his duty according to God’s Church which is no sin...it is calumnious for Our Lady to speak this way and as Pope Francis said recently in a homily..calumny is a device of the DEVIL....

“Calumny aims to destroy the work of God, and calumny comes from a very evil thing: it is born of hatred. And hate is the work of Satan. Calumny destroys the work of God in people, in their souls. Calumny uses lies to get ahead.” Be in no doubt, he said: “Where there is calumny, there is Satan himself."

-Pope Francis

..many good Catholics have been deceived by the spin doctors who promote MEDJUGORJE as a place where supernatural apparitions occur ..these are effectively bypassing the lawful agents of the Church....some do this through lack of prudence some do this knowingly and so incur greater guilt before God....

..now let us all examine ourselves through a spirit of honesty and simplicity so that we do not let the vice of the devil implant itself insidiously in our soul...amen

ANSWERS TO CRITICISMS OF MEDJUGORJE: A REBUTTAL

A rebuttal of answers to criticisms of MEDJUGORJE

 

It is normal for prudent people to be wary of false prophets....some believe that Mary is truly appearing in Medjugorje and this is imprudent..since the Church and qualified Bishops have studied the phenomenon and found that the supernaturality of the alleged apparitions cannot be affirmed...to believe in variance to the  mind of the Church is quite simply putting one’s salvation in jeopardy by opening one’s intellect to the possibility of dodgy doctrine...and so a little poison taints the whole supply since all truth which comes from God is pure..so a small bit of leaven from the Pharisees will destroy ones faith..as it says in scripture..

14 Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod." 16 And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread." 17 And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

-Mark 8:14-17

..what Jesus means is we should beware of the faith of the Pharisees and of Herod who relied on their own counsel rather than relying on the will of God…now the will of God resides in his Church and in his magisterium who act through accepted Church teaching and who guide us through directives that are not sinful or impossible to follow…so we see in Medjugorje two Bishops as well as a Bishops conference have already said nothing supernatural occurring regarding apparitions…this is not to say the sacraments are bringing forth good fruit yet the deception is polluting the faith of the converts since they believe the authority of the Bishops does not come from God but is only arbitrary..rather like anyone’s personal opinion and this is the poison of Medjugorje…latitudinarianism..which is a sort of restricted indifferentism closely related to Protestantism..it is a material heresy

..here are some accusations which this article would like to buttress….

1.      Medjugorje is the work of the devil

 

...it is certainly possible for Satan to deceive..so let us look if there are signs of deception...

-          Eucharist: This is the body of Christ ....why would the Devil ask us to receive his enemy?....answer....to promote millions of sacrilegious communions which do not promote unity within the Church and which are in open defiance of the good Bishop’s supplications to cease from public veneration of the alleged apparition...

[26] For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. [27] Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. [28] But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. [29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. [30] Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.

---1 Corinthians 11:26-30   Douay Rheims

..so one sees we need examine ourselves thoroughly through a strict examination of conscience..always with a view to unity of the Church through Charity…

 

Confession: ..this is a chance for us to undo the sins that we were tempted into by Satan, why would Satan get us to undo his work?...answer...Satan does not mind if we receive communion in a sacrilegious manner and confession our sins while still defying the Church and promoting Medjugorje as a place with supernatural visions..this is disobedient and a sin against prudence..and so our trips to the sacraments are subverted by obexes (obstacles) to grace..namely disrespect for the magisterium (sin against the 4^th commandment) honouring your father and mother spiritually as well as temporally...and since the commandments are set up so that if we break one we break all of them since they are all based in charity, faith and hope we effectively subvert the Church when we break them and open ourselves up to being set into a state of grave sin which we should avoid.....while if one does this unknowingly then the guilt of complicity falls upon those who promote medjugorje as a safe place to visit and claim the mother of God is appearing here which is in opposition to the official Church .....

 Reading the Bible:  This is our guide for Christian living, it is totally against Satan....answer...even the Devil can quote scripture and pervert it to his own ends..as we see when the Devil tempts Jesus in Matthew 4..as well in Genesis 3 the Devil quotes scripture out of context as we see many people doing who espouse Medjugorje...

Peace:  since when does the devil promote peace...answer..the devil does not promote peace at MEDJUGORJE he promotes concord of wills diametrically opposed to the magisterium of the Church... 

….There can be concord in evil between wicked men. But "there is no peace to the wicked" (Isaiah 48:22). Therefore peace is not the same as concord….

-thomas Aquinas

..since many people gather at this place in agreement of one cause albeit in defiance of the one who sits as the arbitrator and so acts by the will of God we see this is not peace but only the gathering of rebel wills…it is rebellion and this has as its root pride which is the sin of satan…

 

Fasting:. Fasting is a way of heightening our awareness. Take the exact opposite, having eaten too much. Most of us have had that bloated feeling at some time or another: and my, how it affects us! We feel dull, lethargic, sluggish. Awareness can be dulled by many kinds of over-indulgence, not only food, but also alcohol and even being slumped for too long in front of the TV. Fasting is a way of restoring the balance. A little bit of self-denial can open us up to God, by making us more aware, more alert, as we move through life. Open, in fact, to our own depths, where God is often to be found, in the silences and in the questioning that we usually keep away by another bar of chocolate, another film or another beer. Fasting challenges us to find a discipline again, in which these things are held in a more healthy balance. Why would Satan want us to open ourselves up to God ?....answer.....fasting without obedience to God’s will is like the leaven of the Pharisees it subverts the faith of God which we have been given and this is what the devil loves...we never look to the Church to guide us..we look to ourselves while we use the Church to make us look pious in an outward way by attending the sacraments..while inwardly we are not mortifying our will..and so this is the spirituality of the Pharisee....which Jesus warns us to ignore...

 

2..Anyone can claim to see our Lady, how can we prove these apparitions are really happening?

..answer...we can trust the Zadar commission and the judgement of two local Ordinaries...it cannot be ascertained that anything supernatural is occurring.... as Jesus says a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree bad fruit...as Aquinas tells us...

Article 1. Whether good can be the cause of evil?

Objection 1. It would seem that good cannot be the cause of evil. For it is said (Matthew 7:18): "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit."

Reply to Objection 1. As Augustine says (Contra Julian. i): "The Lord calls an evil will the evil tree, and a good will a good tree." Now, a good will does not produce a morally bad act, since it is from the good will itself that a moral act is judged to be good. Nevertheless the movement itself of an evil will is caused by the rational creature, which is good; and thus good is the cause of evil.

..now thousands of pilgrims to medjugorje who make their pilgrimage a validation of the supernaturality of the alleged appairitons at Medjugorje have a will inclined to evil which is the bad tree Jesus was referring to..since all these pilgrims choose either knowingly or unknowingly to go against the Churches decree of not allowing private pilgrimages which attempt to validate these apparitions as coming from the mother of God…according to a may 1998 letter written by Cardinal Bertone to Bishop Aubry…

….” Finally, as regards pilgrimages to Medjugorje, which are conducted privately, this Congregation points out that they are permitted on condition that they are not regarded as an authentication of events still taking place and which still call for an examination by the Church. Letter to Bishop Aubrey”..

…which means we cannot assume the virgin is appearing here and promote this publicly….which is also the crux of the recent CDF letter to the USA Bishops…

….” It follows, therefore, that clerics and the faithful are not permitted to participate in meetings, conferences or public celebrations during which the credibility of such "apparitions" would be taken for granted”..

.....which means we are not allowed to promote these messages....publicly

3.  Medjugorje has not been approved by the Church-I  should not be following it yet

...answer...yes

4.   The visionaires priests and villagers only wanted to bring people to Medjugorje to make money out of souvenirs and tourist related ventures..

...answer....that is for God to judge  the motivation of each person’s heart

5.Medjugorje is a propaganda stunt...

..answer...one wonders what is going through the minds of the seers..if they understand the importance of submitting to the magisterium in order to make their claims more credible..if this would have happened then peace would have ensued instead of all this incessant quarrelling...

If Medjugorje is fake why is Father Jozo still so dedicated to it despite the torture and imprisonment he received from the communists?

..answer...he is rebelling against the authority of the Bishop of Mostar & the Zadar Commission which is the official judgement of the Church and so let anyone who has no cognitive confirmation bias discern for themselves....

MEDJUGORJE VATICAN COMMISSION COMPLETES INVESTIGATION

JESUS SPEAKING HELPS MEDJUGORE COMMISSION

john konnor

..at MEDJUGORJE people look to the sky for the VIRGIN...

...Meanwhile....

....Jesus speaking in the Eucharist reminds us...

...why are you looking up there when I am down here....

[31] And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. [32] And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. [34] Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: [36] Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. [37] Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? [39] Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? [40] And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. [41] Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. [42] For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. [43] I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. [44] Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? [45] Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. [46] And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting

MEDJUGORJE VERDICT: IMMINENT

MEDJUGORJE VATICAN VERDICT: IMMINENT

 

 

 

NOT SUPERNATURAL

MEDJUGORJE COMMISSION HAS FINISHED ITS WORK OFFICIALLY

MEDJUGORJE COMMISSION HAS FINISHED ITS WORK OFFICIALLY

..CARDINAL PULJIC says he is Fed Up with the MEDJUGORJE study..

..if one puts two and two together and adds the recent comments of the POPE who tells us that Mary is not a post mistress sending messages everyday one should be able to mark the course of the current leading the  Barque of Peter  scudding ahead the gale of another temporal spiritual tempest( Medjugorje)...

....the duly authorized Agents of God on this matter are giving us hints regarding the phenomenon at Medjugorje...The good Cardinal is telling us that he is tired of beating a dead horse..if the outcome was favourable and positive then the good Cardinal would be quite honoured to be a part of Church history however the reverse is true..in fact Medjugorje is a part of Church infamy....he is repelled by what is not part of the bosom of the Church..as Pope Eugene has said in the past...

" The Church Teaches Ex Cathedra: "The Most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews, and heretics, and schismatics, can ever be partakers of eternal life, but that they are to go into the eternal fire "which was prepared for the devil, and his angels," (Mt. 25:41) unless before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this Ecclesiastical Body, that only those remaining within this unity can profit from the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and that they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, almsdeeds, and other works of Christian piety and duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved unless they abide within the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church." (Pope Eugene IV, the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441) "

..this being a tenet of the universal and extraordinary magisterium is binding..however since those who through no fault of their own adhere to another religion but who seek God with a sincere heart and or perfect contrition may not be precluded we should note that schismatics, those who have deliberately cut themselves off from the temporal head of the Church the Pope by ignoring seminal canons (ie 823) and who willfully disobey CDF decrees and local Ordinarial directives may be in grave danger of fracture from the bosom of the Church....

..ignorance is no excuse and is removable if through reasonable diligence a conscientious person had shown sincere resolve & deliberation in seeking answers to matters which regarded the fate of one's eternal salvation according to their intellectual capacity and or conditioned customs and available resources...however if through innocent ignorance one was not baptised but would have been baptized had they known then such a desire would not disregard one from salvation (CC1260)

1260 "Since Christ died for all, and since all men are in fact called to one and the same destiny, which is divine, we must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partakers, in a way known to God, of the Paschal mystery." Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. It may be supposed that such persons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity.

..the Vatican Radio has also recently stated that the commission of Medjugorje has sent its findings to the CDF and Pope..

2014-01-18 Vatican Radio

(Vatican Radio) The Director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, confirmed on Saturday that the international commission investigating the events in Medjugorje held its last meeting on 17 January. The commission, created by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is presided by Cardinal Camillo Ruini.

The commission has reportedly completed its work and will submit the outcomes of its study to the Congregation.

MEDJUGORJE RECENT NEWS: THE SKY IS FALLING!!!

Medjugorje Recent News: THE SKY IS FALLING

 

..at MEDJUGORJE many adherents claim that they have seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears and so there can be no question as to the veracity of the claims of the seers...gleaning truth from purely empiric means is subverting the absolute truths and doctrines of the Church..since empiricism tells us our mind is a tablua rasa (blank slate) when we are born and that all knowledge we gain comes through experience of the senses....empiricism as a reliable source of truth fails since the concept itself hinges on a presupposition that our senses are reliable sources of investigation..however another problem arises...how can we understand anything at all without consciousness, sapience, memory and imagination...all these operations of the being of humans do not come from experience they are innate..to know that one is thinking at all is not an empirical form of knowledge..and so empiricism on its own does not furnish us with the full source of truth..we need an objective absolute source which does not change and of course this is God and the revelations we have received as a deposit of faith which never changes...in fact how can one imagine something that has never been experienced? if empiricism is valid..of course to imagine a different shade of blue is possible artists do it all the time...now if such a shade has never existed in reality but only as a universal in the eternal mind of God how can we know it if empiricism is valid???...

 

and so those individuals who claim Medjugorje the Phenomenon is true simply because they have seen or heard are quite deceived..since the Church itself officially is at variance with this position...

 

..as Jesus used parables and small stories to illustrate his truths let us use the analogy of Chicken Little and the folktale of the SKY IS FALLING to illustrate the dangers of trusting too much in one's own subjective experience...

 

 

Did you ever hear of Chicken Little, how she

disturbed a whole neighborhood by her foolish
alarm?

Well, Chicken Little was running about in a
gentleman's garden, where she had no business to
be : she ran under a rose-bush, and a leaf fell on her
tail ; so she was dreadfully frightened, and ran away
to Hen Pen.

" O Hen Pen," said she, " the sky is falling ! "
u Why, Chicken Little, how do you know it ? "
" O, I heard it with my ears, I saw it with my eyes,
and part of it fell on my tail." " Come, then," says
Hen Pen, " let us run as fast as we can."

So they ran till they came to Duck Luck. " O
Duck Luck," says Hen Pen, " the sky is falling ! "
" Why, how do you know it ? " says Duck Luck.
14 Chicken Little told me." " Chicken Little, how
do you know it ? " "I heard it with my ears, I
saw it with my eyes, and part of it feD on my tail "
" O, let us run ! " says Duck Luck.

And they went on till they came to Goose Loose.
" O Goose Loose ! " says Duck Luck, " the sky is
falling." " Why, Duck Luck," says Goose Loose,
" how do you know it ? " Says Duck Luck, " Hen
Pen told me." " Hen Pen, how do you know it ? "
" Chicken Little told me." " Chicken Little, how
do you know it ? " " O, I heard it with my ears, I
saw it with my eyes, and part of it fell on my tail ! "
u Run, run ! as fast as you can," says Goose Loose*
And away they went till they came to

Turkey Lurkey. " O Turkey Lurkey ! " says
Goose Loose, " the sky is falling ! " " Why," says
Turkey Lurkey, " Goose Loose, how do you know
it ? " Says Goose Loose, " Duck Luck told me."
" Duck Luck, how do you know it ? " Says Duck
Luck, " Hen Pen told me." " Hen Pen, how do
you know it ? " Says Hen Pen, " Chicken Little
told me." " Chicken Little, how do you know it ? "
" How can I help knowing it ? " says Chicken Lit-
tle ; "I heard it with my ears, I saw it with my eyes,
and part of it fell on my tail ! " " O, come, let us
run ! " says Turkey Lurkey. And away they all
went till they met with

Fox Lox. " O Fox Lox ! " says Turkey Lur-
key, "the sky is falling!" "Who told you?"
says Fox Lox. Says Turkey" Lur key, "Goose
Loose told me." " Goose Loose, who told you?"
" Duck Luck told me." " Duck Luck, who told
you?" "Hen Pen told me." "Hen Pen, who
told you ? " " Chicken Little told me." " Chick-
en Little, how do you know it ? " " O, I heard it
with my ears, 1 saw it with my eyes, and part of it
fell on my tail ! " " Make haste ! " says Fox Lox,
" and all come into my den "

Fox Lox opened the door, and in went Turkey
Lurkey. As she went in, Fox Lox bit off her
head, threw it one way, and the body another.
Then went in Goose Loose. Fox Lox cut off her
head, and threw her in. Then came Duck Luck.
Fox Lox did the same by her. Then came Hen
Pen. Fox Lox bit off her head, and threw it one
way, and the body the other. Then came Chicken
Little. Fox Lox caught hold of her, and eat her
all up, and then finished his supper with the rest,
and all this from the foolish fright of Chicken
Little.

 

..as it says in scripture..we must beware the foxes who nip the vines and  may be able to symbolically confuse our spiritual head which is our faith in the spiritual life...

 

11] For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone. [12] The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land: [13] The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the vines in flower yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come: [14] My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall, shew me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears: for thy voice is sweet, and thy face comely. [15] Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for our vineyard hath flourished.

[15] Catch us the little foxes: Christ commands his pastors to catch false teachers, by holding forth their fallacy and erroneous doctrine, which like foxes would bite and destroy the vines.

 

..if an individual does not trust the local Bishop in good standing, the CDF or even the Pope with his current advice telling us Mary is not a post mistress sending messages everyday..then we are at the mercy of little devious foxes who do not care for our spiritual integrity..but only seek to further their own agendas while crowding out the appointed Agents of Christ....

MEDJUGORJE DISOBEDIENCE: THE DUPLICITOUS MESSAGES OF GOSPA

MEDJUGORJE PILGRIMAGES: The DUPLICITOUS MESSAGE of GOSPA

..according to the seers the GOSPA of MEDJUGORJE has said ... Catholics of good conscience and people of all creeds are called to conversion of heart, prayer and fasting...practical prayer as well as a salutary disposition of soul and mind...fasting not only in a corporal sense but also fasting of the reason and desires..to exercise prudence and temperance..which of course we do not see at MEDJUGORJE since the proponents have failed to obey the Agency and agents of God in his Church ..the successors to the apostles...

...if one examines the messages more closely and uses the scriptures as a mirror of discernment along with the laws of love as they are evinced through the dogmas and traditions of the Church and the exhortations of the bishops in good standing we see that there are many contradictions...

April 25, 1994 "Dear children! Today I invite you to decide to pray according to my intention. Little children, I invite each one of you to help my plan to be realized through this parish. Now I invite you in a special way, little children, to decide to go along the way of holiness. Only this way will you be close to me. I love you and I desire to conduct you all with me to Paradise. But, if you do not pray and if you are not humble and obedient to the messages which I am giving you, I cannot help you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

..according to this message the GOSPA is instigating rebellion and insubordination to the local Ordinary( the Bishop)..as well as the Bishops of Zadar as well as the CDF ... it was the Bishop in good standing who has cautioned and indeed ordered that the dissemination of any messages be not made or attributed to the Mother of God... the Zadar Bishops and the CDF have concurred...indeed how is one to walk the paths of holiness if they have not the humility to trust the Shepherds of the Church..as well how can one reconcile the fact that the Gospa herself is contradicting an order of her Son...this order is to obey the Bishops who are not purveying any sinful decree...

[10]And thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say, that preside in the place, which the Lord shall choose, and what they shall teach thee,

[8] If thou perceive: Here we see what authority God was pleased to give to the church guides of the Old Testament, in deciding, without appeal, all controversies relating to the law; promising that they should not err therein; and surely he has not done less for the church guides of the New Testament.

[11]According to his law; and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand nor to the left hand. [12] But he that will be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest, who ministereth at that time to the Lord thy God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away the evil from Israel: [13] And all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one afterwards swell with pride

Deuteronomy 17:10-13

..so we see from scripture that defying a bishop in good standing provides an occaision of placing one’s soul in grave danger from spiritual death...

[20] Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

John 13:20

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just is not of God, or he that loveth not his brother.

1 John 3:10

....of course in order to be just one must be fair and give everyone their rightful due..and when we disrespect the wishes of a Shepherd of God the local Bishop then we are not practicing justice and equanimity...are we showing love to the local Bishop whose mission is to protect us from error when we proceed in a spirit of public disdain for his witness and ignore his pleas...

....as well we have the Catechism of the Church as a sure guide...

CCC 896, “Let all follow the bishop, as Jesus Christ follows his Father, and the college of presbyters as the apostles; respect the deacons as you do God's law. Let no one do anything concerning the Church in separation from the bishop."

....of course the Gospa wants all to follow her message but not to follow the advice of the local Bishop...or the advice of the Zadar Commission or the advice of the CDF who have told the faithful to stop presuming the credibility of any apparition publicly....

..this is just one message of thousands and in other mesages the GOSPA advises prayer for God’s priests however if one does not obey the priests and bishops and become a vehicle for God’s grace through practical prayer which is done by following an agent of God’s commands then prayer indeed does not actuate its full potential since obstinate supplicants thwart the efficacy of God’s grace...through obedience we attain unity....

As Thomas Aquinas wisely says...

It is clear that he does not pray, who, far from uplifting himself to God, requires that God shall lower Himself to him, and who resorts to prayer not to stir the man in us to will what God wills, but only to persuade God to will what the man in us wills.

..such people are viewed as fanatics who try to bend everyone to their whim rather than trying to accept each person for their deficiencies as God accepts us all..and to work to create unity of cause...indeed not all faithful are called to pray, fast, read the bible and go to mass every day...some do more some do less..however if we keep up with our obligations and live the law of love as Jesus says..to love one another as i have loved you..this is the chief commandment..a shortcut to heaven..indeed one must not neglect the sacraments however one is not required to pray, fast and attend confession (unless in a state of mortal sin) under a strict regime unless they are in a religious vocation....it is bewildering to watch as many proponents adopt a Pharisiacal attitude that they are more Holy since they pray and fast and Go to mass every day..however this is the spirit which Jesus rebukes...

..so we see adherents at MEDJUGORJE praying so that the Bishop change his stance and accept the messages of the GOSPA yet this is unwise and definately contrary to the will of God who exhorts us to be loving and kind and in humility submit to the advice of our spiritual Fathers who are not espousing sin....this is the type of fanaticism petulance and hypocrisy which makes all Chirstians look bad..indeed this type of attitude is an enemy to peace since such a one is still absorbed in their own prerogatives and not resigned to take up the cross and follow Christ..the cross of human suffering..indeed no one can carry Christ's cross yet we all can carry a small portion of it as the apostle exhorts us in the Gospel where he mentions ...

²⁴ Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church:

Colossians 1:24

April 25, 1996 "Dear children! Today I invite you again to put prayer in the first place in your families. Little children, when God is in the first place, then you will, in all that you do, seek the will of God. In this way your daily conversion will become easier. Little children, seek with humility that which is not in order in your hearts, and you shall understand what you have to do. Conversion will become a daily duty that you will do with joy. Little children, I am with you, I bless you all and I invite you to become my witnesses by prayer and personal conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call."

..from another message we are purportedly told by the GOSPA to put GOD first...if we do not listen to his agents...the Bishops and the CDF then we are not explicitly putting GOD first..we are subjugating GOD to the urges of our own desires and our own will...and so the GOSPA herself is espousing a duplicitous spirituality which is not sincerely seeking unity....let us all examine ourselves through a spirit of contrition and by the principles of philia and agape love so that we may not be a slave to our own spiritually erotic desires ...let us strive for a rational love ...amen
