Assumption of Mary
Happy Birthday Fr. Mesan
In the Middle Ages ( Age of Faith) it was considered that the worse sins and criminal acts was to distort the Faith, to preach or to teach something contrary to the Gospel. Sounds harsh? Jesus had the same opinion. He said fear not those who can kill the body, but rather fear him who can kill the body and soul.
Without dismissing as nothing the suffering of the individual victims of predator sexual clergy there are other victims to this epidemic of homosexual practice. There has always been clergy and lay people courageous and learned enough to state that homosexuality is a sin. I was fortunate enough to know a great many people who believed the Bible, in every matter including homosexuality. When I became a Catholic I knew that the Bible AND Tradition states that homosexuality is wrong. I also knew that a great many Catholics were at variance in word, thought and deed on this matter.
Since the Catholic Church demands that the priest reads the Scripture prescribed for the day, in a three year period one hears all of the Bible including the Old and New Testament passages against homosexuality. Sometimes one hears some very clumsy and inept attempts to explain away these passages .Mostly the message is one of a sneer “ of course we don’t believe that means what it says” After I heard one of these at St. Michael’s in Prince Albert the priest knew that I knew he was talking rot and was ashamed to shake my hand. There was more than one convert in the room who knew enough Bible to know we had heard a political cover up sermon not Biblical truth.
In 1978 Premier Allen Blakeney along with his Minister of Justice Roy Romanow tabled legislation to put sexual orientation in the Human Rights Code. John and I led the fight along with Hillsdale Alliance Church in Regina. I have the letter in which Allen Blakeney states that he has withdrawn the legislation and would be very surprised to see it again for a long time. The homosexual community has never forgotten or forgiven us for this nor have we ever recanted.
There is nothing in the public square that will ostracise you like taking a Christian position on homosexuality. This ostracism and persecution will not stop at the Church door. Catholics Principals in Ontario are petitioning newly elected Premier Ford to reinstate the vile sexual abuse curriculum of the Liberals. People who agree with you will cautiously keep silent about this. These days it’s okey to criticise, attack, ridicule Justin, aka Son of Fidel, Trudeau . I seldom write blogs about him anymore because everyone else is doing such a good job. He is doing more harm to himself than anyone else can do. So we forget that he has mandated the entire Lubglub agenda. The Catholic Church in Canada in the main did not speak out against Pierre Trudeau’s legalising homosexuality in 1969 . The Canadian Catholic Church let the evangelicals be persecuted on this. The Catholic silence was interpreted as approval.
Are we surprised that there are a great many practising homosexuals who bully younger priests and seminarians to take up the practice ? This happens and happened because the First Victim of these predators was attacking, distorting, censoring Biblical and Church Truth . Gay

Scripture only, Luther Only
JMJ
Dec.27,2017
While switching to Ste. Kateri Radio 98.7 from EWTN I heard a man say Luther was wrong and Scripture Only is wrong because “ Otherwise how can we change things?.” The answer is we can’t.
St. Peter says “no scripture is open to private interpretation.” Therefore the Church, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church has to rule on difficult passages. Otherwise we would end up with 30,000 denominations as we have now plus one more. But more likely as Mark Twain said, “ It’s not the things in the Bible that I don’t understand that bother me. It’s the things that I do understand.”
That is why we need a central authority on Scripture so we turn to the compilation of
the Bible that was ruled about 400 AD that the 73 books we now have are THE BIBLE, are Holy Scripture.
The Bible was written over 3000 years by various men. It is the inerrant Word of God. Yes, that really means Genesis is scientifically correct, and historically correct . If there is a teaching that says we are here by Time and Chance then that is wrong because it contradicts Genesis 1( plus logic, plus science et c..) It contradicts Pope Benedict XVI in his opening remarks of his Papacy .
If there is a teaching trend that says homosexuality is not a sin then it is wrong because it contradicts the many , many passages in the Old and New Testament that state otherwise.
As my good friends in the Church of Christ taught me. “ We are saved by Faith" but Luther added “ We are saved by Faith ONLY." Pope Pius IX pointed this out in His Syllabus of Errors . Luther decided that the Book of James should be torn from th Bible. He called it Straw but the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church had got there before Luther by about a thousand years so he couldn’t do it or even try without being WRONG.
The Book of Revelation states that anyone wishes to take away or add from this Book shall be added unto him the plagues written in this Book. Some may say that only applies to Revelation ( Apocalypse) but it is the end of The Book of Books that the Church decided is One, called Holy Scripture, not holy scriptures.
Luther did not really believe in Scripture Only but Luther Only. He decided to be his very own Pope. He could decide what is true and what is not true, what fit his theology and what did not. He spawned 30,000 other popes, that is those 30000 who started their own
churches.
As in the days of Noah “ Every man did what is right in his own eyes”, today for many truth is only what he or she decides what it is, a mere personal preference with no more authority than any other’s personal preference. Read the true and inerrant account that has left much scientific and historic evidence to see what happens when we are our own Bible and own Pope. Gay
