According to ✨ AI;  "Religion (thréskeia) is a diverse, usually organized system of beliefs, practices, ethics, and "worldviews" that relate humanity to the supernatural, sacred, or divine."

​

Many today are opposed to "organized" religion, or attending religious gatherings, due to distrust most religions have brought upon themselves. Let's examine the world of religion.

​                          

​WORLDVIEWS ON RELIGION AND BELIEFS IN GENERAL:

                                                                   

1.)  Materialistic atheists: Those who "believe" there is no intelligent design in the universe.

2.)  Agnostics: Those who believe God, divine, or supernatural is inherently unknowable.

Generally, atheists and agnostics have these things in common;

a. They say;

1.  All religions are true but they all contradict one another.

2.  All religions are false, which is also contradictory.

3.  There can only be one true religion, the one in the Bible. 

b.  They ask; but never accept the answers because they think they know all the answers.

                              

3.)  Poly-theistic religions (many Gods); Buddhists, Hindus, Shintos, etc. 

4.)  Monotheistic "non-Christian" religions; Judaism, Mohammedanism, and Zoroastrianism.

5.)  Protestants; (40,000 denominations, sects, and cults in schism with the Roman Catholic Church)

a.  They gather in meetings and have one thing in common; they are against the Catholic Church.

b.  They claim to be christian but contradict most of Jesus's commands.

c.   Novus Ordo: They claim to be Catholic but are in reality Protestants in sheep's clothing.

      (Watch the video on the page, "Ekklesia-Church)

                                                 

6.)  Eastern Orthodox: They've been in schism with the Roman Catholic Church since 1054 A.D.

                   

Finally, the Roman Catholic Church:

​                        

7.)  THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH:

A. "Traditional" Roman Catholics: Those who do not attend any of the Protestant meetings

mentioned above including Novus Ordo. 

a.  CMRI: Established in 1967 by Archbishop Thuc.

b.  SSPX: Society of St. Pius X established in 1970 by Archbishop Lefebvre. 

c.  SSPV: Society of St. Pius V established in 1983 by Bishop Kelly.

d.  ICKP: Institute of Christ the King Priests established in 1990 Monsignor Gilles Wach. 

e.  Non-diocesan Catholic priests separated or excommunicated from "Novus Ordo".

f.  Homebound Catholics (Home-aloners) Catholic who are not able to attend Mass; or,

        "Lex dubia non obligat": If a Catholic has genuine doubt (a positive and probable

       doubt of law), one is not bound by that law and may take the "safer" or "freer" course

       of action, provided other obligations are not compromised." ~ St. Alphonsus Liguori.​

Council of Trent of 1564:

Canon law 912: "Any baptized person, not prohibited by law, can and must be admitted to receive holy communion."

       Canon law 916: Individuals who are conscious of grave sin are to refrain from

       receiving until they have made a sacramental confession.

                          

B. Eastern Catholics: (Often referred to as Oriental Catholics; not Eastern Orthodox Churches)

These are in full communion with the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church, which makes this group of "Churches" as schismatic as Novus Ordo, since they are complicit with heretics. 

• Byzantine Rite: Ukrainian, Ruthenian, Melkite, Romanian, Greek (not Greek Orthodox)

• Alexandrian Rite: Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean.

• Syriac Rite: Maronite, Syriac, Syro-Malankara.

• Armenian Rite: Armenian.

• Chaldean (East Syrian) Rite: Chaldean, Syro-Malabar.

THE ENEMY'S TACTIC:

"Divide and conquer" is the enemy's tactic, and to create chaos, confusion, and disharmony.

To a great extent, Satan the devil has been partially successful causing divisions such as instigating the "Great Schism" in 1054, the Protestant Revolution in 1615 A.D., the French Revolution in 1789, the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, and finally modern Rome with infiltration of Freemasonry Talmudic Jewish influenced ungodly men wearing sheep's clothing (vestments) after Pope Pius XII in 1958. 

This has been the plan all along since the crucifion of Christ in 33 A.D. in Jerusalem.

                                              

It's no wonder Jesus quoted the prophet (Zechariah 13:7), "For it is written: I will strike the shepherd (chief Shepherd and His Vicars in Rome), and the sheep shall scatter." ~ Matthew 26:31.

                       

What did the Holy Fathers and doctors of the Church have to say about this?   

When Jesus was crucified, the apostles scattered, except for John. After His resurrection, He gathered His apostles again in the upper room in Jerusalem and reunited them, giving them the Holy Spirit. Peter and all his papal successors remained united with Christ up until Pope Pius XII. It was then when Freemason Jews struck down the newly elected Pope (shepherd) in Rome, and replaced him with Roncalli, John XXIII. This "unnamed" shepherd referred to here was threatened into silence by Freemasons until his death in 1989. After this the sheep (Catholics) scattered, thus the list above.

                        

END TIMES

                          

​All Catholics must consider the many signs Jesus and His apostles, along with many of the faithful prophets of the Old Testament had to say on the matter of the "end times, the last days"; according to the gospels of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, and virtually the entire book of Apocalypse (Revelation), along with 2 Peter 3, the letters of St Paul; 1 Timothy 4, 2 Timothy 3, 1 Thessalonians 4&5, 2 Thessalonians 2, 1 Corinthians 15, much less what the prophets wrote; Isaiah 2, several chapters of Daniel 2, 4, 7, 8, 10-12; Ezekiel 38-39; Joel 2; and Zechariah 9.

                                    

Many agree that many of the things written in these writings have already taken place to some extent. And why do so many ignore the signs? Jesus warned us, "As it was in Noah's day, so it shall be in these last days." People are not paying attention. (Matthew 24:37-39) And then the flood came and "took them all away."  Satan has seen to it that most people are too busy caring for basic needs, and comforts and pleasures of live to pay proper attention to these things.

                         

So, what should we do if these things are true?             

                                    

Jesus gave us the answer: Get prepared, "Seek answers" (Matthew 7:7) and don't ignore the signs around us. Christ promised He will help us find the answers. We are not "alone".

                          

Sometimes the answers can be challenginging, unpleasant, even shocking. Remember what He said, 

"Do not think I came to make peace, but with a sword... a man's enemies shall be members of his own household." Family members sometimes ignore, ridicule, and persecute each other. (Matthew 10)

                                 

This is another reason Jesus said, "For many are called, but few are chosen." (Matthew 22:14)

                       

Christ's followers are referred to as "Church~Militants", for good reason. Christians are warriors, engaged in a spiritual battle with "principalities and powers, the rulers of the world of this darkness, and spirits of wickedness in high places". (Ephesians 6:12) This is why it's necessary to put on the suit of armor Paul mentioned in (Ephesians 6:11) We need to be careful not to be aware of the enemy by being blinded by disbelief and Satan's machinations. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

                   

In the meantime, remember Jesus's words, "But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, your redemption is at hand." (Luke 21:28)

                      

This is no time to be silence and cave in to fear of what others say when we speak out and defend our faith and the traditions of our Church.. This is the time to be clear who the enemies are, and make our stand for Christ. And we must remember St. Dismas below, "the penitent thief", who repented and confessed his faith in Jesus and His kingdom in his dying breath; "Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom." It's never too late. 

And how do we know the thief's name and is now considered a saint? The traditions of the Church.
