Earmarking 4 million pound for a possible renovation of a square just in case the Pope decides to visit Trier is ridiculous, especially when expenditures for youth programmes where the future financiers of the church are won are cut. No wonder that so many people try to leave the church. Instead of behaving like bean counters the high representatives of the church should focus on their real task – taking care of those who need help.<br /><br />JoanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-11974379288619381352014-06-11T17:17:54.730+01:002014-06-11T17:17:54.730+01:00Just as we are seeing a worldwide collapse of the ...Just as we are seeing a worldwide collapse of the fictional financial and economic system that has been thrust upon us by an equally fictional political system, so too will we see the collapse of the third angle of the trinity of control, which is the CATHOLIC CHURCH. Anytime an organization has so much money that it needs to hide the numbers, that organization is engaging in criminal activity (i.e. victimizing activity) and will face certain dire repercussions if the source and magnitude of their funds were discovered by their unwitting victims. I have a hard time accepting that the PERSONS involved in the business of CATHOLIC CHURCH even believe in God. And when I say CATHOLIC CHURCH, I mean that corporation and all its entities, which means with few exceptions every other Christian denomination, most Muslim denominations, and the Jew-ish hostile corporation called Israel. The reason I question the faith of these corporate officers is simple. We often see the bumper stickers or signs that say, "what would Jesus do?" We know that according to the Gospel Jesus freaked when he came across the 'money changers' (quick change artists, drug dealers, pimps?) in the temple. So how would he react when he sees his entire message, and his name and image (many times graven) are used as a motive for guilt and profit in a pyramid scheme that enriches a very few and 'forgives' the 'sinners'. I quote forgives and sinners because Christ never gave these Church Officers a personal ordainment, a prescription or authority to address anyone in his name in the way that they are. They have promoted his crucifixion in every grotesque way possible as the remedy for the laws of God, when in fact the entire gospel up to that brutal torture and merciless murder teaches the opposite. If these CATHOLIC Officers have read the Gospel even once, and I assume they have, they would know that everything they are doing is a flaunting hypocrisy against it, and that if they truly believed in any of it they would know it would mean the judgment of their souls for all eternity. You cannot serve 2 masters. They serve one over the other, because they despise the other. They do not render unto caesar because they are in league with, and in many cases directly are caesar. If you believe in the Gospel and in Christ, then you must also acknowledge the power of the deceptions of Lucifer. This isn't simply one man deceives another, coveting his donkey. It has come down to a few men have deceived a planet, calling themselves 'of god', 'called and ordained ministers of god', the 'chosen people of god', 'Father', 'Holy', and the list goes on despite the fact that from top to nearly bottom their actions and reactions are the polar opposite of what that requires as taught in the Gospel. Redemption requires repentance. Repentance requires acknowledgement and transparency. Forgiveness requires healing. Healing requires love. I challenge anyone to show me where this exists in the corporate churches of planet Earth. If you want forgiveness and you want to be as close to God as possible in this shell of flesh, then why worship a middle man or men, paying tribute and bowing and praising as if they were Creator of this planet and its inhabitants. Do not honor other men who would dishonor you as they do themselves. Honor yourself, look for God where he is closest, and learn to find redemption, repentance, forgiveness and love where it was in the first place. And ultimately, follow the commandment of Christ: Love thy neighbor as you love thyself.<br /><br />SaltAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-29000387434058241222014-06-11T17:16:09.382+01:002014-06-11T17:16:09.382+01:00Here we are again with the idea that, simply doing...Here we are again with the idea that, simply doing good makes all of the bad ok. The Catholic church does not do anything that many other organizations do or can do, minus the extortion and hocus pocus. And please, stop with the "many scientists are believers" crap, it is simply untrue, and , in fact, very few are. The Catholic scientists are more like lawyers... helping the Pope and Bishops reconcile their faith with facts so that it can be packaged properly.

Millions travel to Italy to see these treasures and they are the better for it, and probably glad that the Church is the keeper of those treasures in their care. If all of that were to be owned privately, most travelers would not have been able to even come near them! And there would not have been enough money to purchase those treasures. So yes the Church is enormously wealthy in things that benefits us all, It cannot sell it's treasures because it does not own them! Mainly they were acquaired through donations, purchases by the church to protect the art works of ancient Rome, Greece and other civilizations whose work of art were being plundered and sometimes sold to people whose interests in the works of art was for their own pleasure.<br /><br />Ramonita Camacho AcevedoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-66953930420377885502014-06-11T17:13:33.760+01:002014-06-11T17:13:33.760+01:00i wonder how the woman in jesuses days would feel ...i wonder how the woman in jesuses days would feel about putting in her two cents today in the churches charity box? <br /><br />ColleteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-68363439904205460002014-06-11T17:12:35.200+01:002014-06-11T17:12:35.200+01:00I'm not surprised, religion has always played ...I'm not surprised, religion has always played on the impoverished mind and empty stomach.
