Women Clergy. Bin There-Endured That

JMJ
Nov.09, 15
    In the 4th. Century of Christianity a heresy began called Arianism. Eventually three- fourths of the bishops were Arianists. Yet this heresy was stopped and the truth of Christianity reasserted itself. How did this false teaching and practice stop? For two reasons: The pope was not an Arian. The faithful, the lay people were opposed to it and would not succumb to the direction of the bishops. A bishop or an archbishop has authority in his diocese or archdiocese but he does not have authority to change, alter or suppress church teaching.  He does not have the authority to lead the faithful out of the Catholic Church.
The Church has not approved of women clergy. Therefore a bishop cannot approve a woman clergy or should not take steps to give women the authority of a priest by any other name.
In our two decades of being Catholic we have endured two situations where a woman was or is functionally the head of the diocese or of two parishes.
This creates obvious problems.:

1. The Church becomes a female activity. This happens in all denominations which have women clergy. The men simply do not want to buckle under to female leadership or compete with a woman. They drop out and so do boys. In Southend Confirmation class there was only one boy and about six girls. The nun prefers young women as functionaries.

2. Men are to be the spiritual leader of the home. A woman church leader does not encourage or reinforce that role.

3. Since the woman leader acting as a pastor does not have real priestly authority many things are a threat to her power that a priest would ignore.  She expects us to hand over our property including our vehicle and get lost because she prefers another couple as “ spiritual directors” in Brabant Lake. Note: We have never claimed any such title. We are lay missionaries who have a private school . Brabant Lake is our one and only home. Southend is our parish.

4. It denigrates the Mass. A woman CANNOT perform a Mass but if Sunday after Sunday she stands at the altar and passes out consecrated wafers when a priest does come and perform a Mass the proper reverence and meaning is lost.

5. Many people commit the sin of receiving Communion unworthily. They are confused. The woman leader cannot hear Confessions and give Absolution but she is willing to hand out Communion to those who may be in mortal sin. The reality of Sin is down graded. Thus the need for Confession is downgraded. Communion just becomes a community club symbol.

6. Other truths of the Catholic faith are downgraded. The woman “ pastor” is acting outside of Church Authority . So why not have differing opinions on abortion, homosexual liasons,  euthanasia or the Actual Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

7. Women lose their role as a primary example of service and nurturing as they strive for position and power.  The woman may see her “ pastoring “ as a service but it leads her and other women to emphasise position over caring.

8. Women are often guilty of leadership by manipulation. Since they have only the power they can garner and not real Authority they use such tactics as answering e- mails and letters with their twist. Men like to be gentlemen and not confront women especially as to how they treat other women. Thus women are often abused by so called women “ pastors” and by the bishops who encourage them.  Gay

How the Anti- Church uses Natives

JMJ
Oct.30,2015

    St.John Paul II warned us of a great conflict in the Church between the Church and the anti- Church.  These words are similar to the Popes in history and the anti- Popes who set themselves up as rivals in authority.  The modern day split is often called Liberal Catholics and Conservative or Orthodox  Catholics although this is inadequate and often misused. The key issue is do people, clergy or lay people accept the authority of the Bible , Church Tradition and Rome. These three are not incompatible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church constantly backs up its statements by Biblical references.

    There is no issue dearer to the heart of the anti- Church than obtaining female clergy followed by practising  homosexual clergy. To create a forum to argue the need for alternate clergy  once again Northerners and natives are used and abused.  Priests are deliberately driven away from the North. Evidence? Sure. We used to have priests from all over to come to summer camps. Bishop Sutten and Fr. LeMay never opposed us. Fr. LeMay warmly welcomed them and was glad of their company. Then another priest came who did not recognise us as parishioners but refused to let us have any priests even though he did not have the authority.

    We raised funds to bring in a priest from Manitoba who happened to be an exorcist and who had been  here before. The Southend priest phoned him and absolutely refused to let him come on our private property and told people not to come to our camps which they had been doing for ten years.. When we asked him what he was doing? He yelled at us “ And you even brought in an American!!!”

    As publicly known ,the Vicar General would not let our son, Fr. Joshua  say Mass in Southend where he had served under Fr. LeMay and at La Ronge where we had entered the Catholic Church. John Caswell thought it a victory that he even managed to say Mass in Brabant Lake.

    Exorcists are especially despised by so called “ native spirituality” advocates. We were denied the right to have another priest who is an exorcist as we arranged an anti- New Age Conference. There is no more obvious proof of the demonic spiritualityof this New -Age with- Feathers crowd than their horror and hatred of exorcists.

    Meanwhile “ Sunday Celebrations” are used to promote lay replacement of clergy and the Sacraments with lay people, usually women. Some Natives communities throughout Saskatchewan are given nuns to replace priests even though there may be priests blocks away in urban settings or in travelling distance away in a rural setting.  I know of no non- native community with a nun attempting to replace a priest .    So called “ native spirituality” is used to adulterate then replace Christianity. Then nuns and lay people are used “to meet their spiritual needs” . Thus natives , against their wishes, are manipulated  to advance the cause of women clergy and the dissolution of the Sacraments. This is racist, cruel, dishonest and anti- Christian.

    Christianity is about “ setting the captives free.”  Jesus is the liberator. The tools are the Bible, Church Authority and the Sacraments where a priest: male, trained and ordained, in the name of Jesus, acts.
    John and I spend so much time trying to bring in priests because priests bring us Jesus in the Eucharist and in the Sacraments. Many nuns likewise are trying to help, not replace, priests.  Gay
