Agree with almost all of your post, and hope I don't appear to
be nitpicking, but the point is that the deepening psychological intimacy
between two human beings is, according to RC teaching, only possible when the
proper hierarchy of values is recognized with regard to marriage. As God, some
say, is Love and therefore "had" to communicate His Love by
"spreading" it through the creation of other beings, likewise, a man
and a woman in love have been empowered to "express" their love by
helping to create a new being -- the love child (to steal a phrase from Diana
Ross). One sermon I heard years ago said that humans might not even be able to
imagine this power (to co-create through sexual union) if God had not created us
with this faculty.
(Commercial break: this post goes far afield in the
next few paragraphs, but hopefully comes back to the topic, kindof -- so let me
list a portion of the last paragraph to try and urge the reader to perserve:
"If the Roman Catholic Church has really been a man-made concoction, then
it is deservedly falling of its own weight as mankind "matures" . . .
")Back to the action:
Which brings me to an important point
regarding Catholics and this matter. It's not only Catholics, but those
occupying the structures of the Church, who are trashing the traditional
teaching of the Church on marriage. There were 3 annulments granted in the
United States in 1962, 3 years before Vatican Council 11 ended. (An annulments
is where it is ruled that the marriage never took place at all, such as where a
man already married in Kansas, goes to Brazil and "marries" a second
woman while hiding from her his first marriage and wife. He did not have the
capacity to contract the second marriage with one already in progress, even by
civil standards.)
Today, annulments number between 25,000 and 50,000 PER
YEAR in the USA alone. Why? Because since Vatican Council II (1962-65), the
annulment tribunals have been granting annulments for PSYCHOLOGICAL
incompatibility -- something almost every married man and woman can appeal to at
one time or another, or maybe in most marriages at very many times. So no one
ever knows if they're married or not until one or both parties are dead -- maybe
not even then! You all may remember that Cong. Joe Kennedy (son of Bobby) was
justifiably flailed in public by his PROTESTANT wife for his absurd seeking of
an annulment (ultimately granted by the Vatican!) after they had had several
kids -- just because he had found a new "interest".
Which leads
me to some important research tips (at least in my judgement): the book The
Broken Cross, Peter Lovest Thou Me?, The Rhine Flows into the Tiber, the
writings of Abbe De Nantes (search on the internet for Catholic
Counter-Reformation) --- these and other responsible authors talk about the more
than massive problems in the Roman Catholic Church since Vatican Council II.
Some of us believe that the John Paul II is not a true Pope, but an anti-Pope
(there have been about 40 anti-popes, and about 260 true popes in the last 2000
years according to the Catholic Church, and that those sitting in the positions
of authority in the Vatican and in the bishoprics throughout the world are
"counterfeit churchman" by this time. All of this was accomplished by
a coup de tat in the 1958 conclave against Cardinal Joseph Siri, the first man
elected on Oct 26, 1958 following the death of Pius XII about a month earlier.
(See Malachi Martin's book, Keys of This Blood, around pages 600 to 610 for a
cleverly oblique account of what happened at this conclave, at which, Malachi
has admitted elsewhere, he was present and therefore an eye-witness. Therefore,
(parenthetically) despite my respect for Lloyd Miller and my eagerness to read
anything he puts out, I don't believe there is any essential tension between the
British Crown and the Vatican today, both being shills from the international
banking establishment, although maybe there is some internecine fighting. The
faction I side with believes that the Catholic Church is now in the position of
the Jewish Synagogue right before the first coming of Christ, "The Scribes
and Pharisees sit on the Chair of Moses"; although this is not to assume
that the Second Coming of Christ is imminent, but, in harmony with the Book
Catholic Prophecy by Yves Dupont, a Great Chastisement may be imminent after
which the Church and society will be restored to its proper Christian
Foundations, and an era of unprecedented prosperity will occur for at least a
few generations, in harmony with the prophecies at Fatima, Portugal in 1917 (See
Fr. Gruner and Fatima Crusader on the internet for books on this
subject.)
I might also add here that my writings against "the
Jews" on this list have to do usually with the unavoidable tension between
Jews who reject Christ (usually, in my experience clearly understanding their
position) and Christians who retain much of the traditional Christian doctrine
and either do understand their position, or are, more likely, are still acting
on what has been passed down to them from their parents, but do not really
consciously support the premisis on which their position is founded (this
accounts for the continual drift of Christians into liberalism and
Libertarianism, because they are often converted after running into an
articulate advocate of those principles who pry them away from their principles,
tenuously held in the first place. Anyway, this tension between Christians and
Jews is primarily what Fr. Fahey's books are about, he holding that this tension
is in the nature of things due to the reality of the Messiah having come 2000
year ago.
High level, international intrigue is another matter, involving
only a handful of people, relatively speaking. It is this smaller groups of,
primarily top-level Jews and top-level Masons, that I refer to when talking
about international banking. So when we talk about the Vatican being co-opted by
the forces of International banking in 1958, I hope it is clear I am not
pointing a finger at any large group, the Jewish people or anybody else.
Naturally, the "great men of the earth" want to control every
government, including the one in Vatican City. So . . .
If the Roman
Catholic Church has really been a man-made concoction, then it is deservedly
falling of its own weight as mankind "matures" ?? -- on the other
hand, if the Roman Catholic Church is divine -- it will rise again unexpectedly
and gloriously, after a chastisment, so that even the greatest doubters will be
inspired to believe. Stay tuned . . . . .
