The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church. Monday 15th November, Feast of St. Albert the Great, BCD
The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church
In the London Catholic Gazette of February 1936, was published a sensational article under the heading: "The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church."
The monthly organ of the Catholic Missionary Society of England was quoting speeches delivered in a series of secret Jewish meetings in Paris. A few weeks later, the Parisian weekly, Le Revell du Peuple, published a similiar account, adding that the statements had been made at a recent convention of the B'nai - B'rith ( Secret Masonic order into which no Gentile is admitted ) held in Paris.
The article of the Catholic Gazette read as follows: " 'The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church' "That there has been and still is a Jewish problem, no one can deny. Since the rejection of Israel, 1900 years ago, the Jews have scattered in every direction, and in spite of difficulties and even persecution, they have established themselves as a power in nearly every nation of Europe.
[ Antipope John Paul II with members of the B'nai B'rith]
Jacobs, in his Jewish Contributions to Civilization, glories in the fact that without detriment to their own racial unity and International character, the Jews have been able to spread their doctrines and increase their political, social and economic influence among the nations."
In view of this Jewish problem, which affects the Catholic Church in a special way, here are the amazing extracts from a number of speeches made under the auspices of a Jewish society in Paris around that time.
[ Antipope Benedict XVI accepts painting from the Jewish Freemasonic Order, B'nai B'rith in 2010]
- The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church -
"As long as there remains among the Gentiles any moral conception of the social order, and until all faith, patriotism, and dignity are uprooted, our reign over the world shall not come.
We have already fulfilled part of our work, but we cannot claim that the whole of our work is done. We have still a long way to go before we can overthrow our main opponent: the Catholic Church . . . We must always bear in mind that the Catholic Church is the only institution which has stood, and which will, as long as it remains in existence, stand in our way.
The Catholic Church, with her methodical work and her edifying and moral teachings, will always keep her children in such a state of mind, as to make them too self respecting to yeild to our domination, and to bow before our future King of of Israel.
That is why we have been striving to discover the best way of shaking the Catholic Church to her very foundations.
We have spread the spirit of revolt and false liberalism among the nations of the Gentiles . . . to persuade them away from their faith and even make them ashamed of professing the precepts of their Religion and obeying, and the Commandments of their Church.
We have brought many of them to boast of being atheists and more than that, to glory in being descendants of the ape!
We have given them new theories, impossible of realization, such as Communism, Anarchism, and Socialism, which are now serving our purposes.
The stupid Gentiles have accepted them with the greatest enthusiasm, without realizing that those theories are ours, and that they constitute our most powerful instrument against themselves . . . We have blackened the Catholic Church with the most ignominious calumnies.
We have blackened her history and disgraced even her noblest activities. We have imputed to her the wrongs of her enemies, and have thus brought these latter to stand more closely by our side. So much so, that we are now witnessing, to our greatest satisfaction, rebellions against the Church in several countries.
We have turned the clergy into objects of hatred and ridicule and we have subjected them to the contempt of the crowd.
We have caused the practice of the Catholic religion to be considered out of date and a mere waste of time . . . And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have proved easier dupes than we expected them to be.
One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd ( sic) of sheep. Let them graze in our fields till they become fat enough to be worthy of being immolated to our future King of the world . . . We have founded many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our directions.
We have made it an honor, a great honor, for the Gentiles to join us in our associations, which are, thanks to our gold, flourishing now more than ever.
[ yeah, right! but look what I found. And all 8 oz!]Yet, it remains our secret that those Gentiles who betray their own and most precious interests, by joining us in our plot, should never know that those associations are of our creation, and that they serve our purpose."
"One of the many triumphs of our Freemasonry is that those Gentiles who become members of our lodges, should never suspect that we are using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect the throne of our Universal King of Israel; and should never know that we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our future King of the World.
So far, we have considered our attacks upon the Catholic Church from the outside. But this is not all. Let us now explain how we have gone further in our work, to hasten the ruin of the Catholic Church and how we have penetrated into her most intimate circles, and brought even some of her Clergy to become pioneers of our cause."
"Apart altogether from the influence of our philosophy, we have taken other steps to secure a breach in the Catholic Church.
Let me explain how this has been done. We have induced some of our children to join the Catholic body, with the explicit intimation that they should work in a still more efficient way for the disintegration of the Catholic Church, by creating scandals within her.
We have thus followed the advice of our Prince of the Jews, who so wisely said: 'Let some of your children become canons, so that they may destroy the Church.'
Unfortunately, not all among the 'convert' Jews have proved faithful to their mission. Many of them have even betrayed us! But, on the other hand, others have kept their promise and honored their word.
Thus, the Council of our Elders has proved successful.
We are the Fathers of all Revolutions - even of those which sometimes happen to turn against us.
We are the supreme masters of Peace and War.
We can boast of being the Creators of the REFORMATION!
Calvin was one of our Children; he was of Jewish descent, and was entrusted by Jewish authority and encouraged with Jewish finance to draft his scheme in the Reformation."
"Martin Luther yielded to the influence of his Jewish friends, and again, by Jewish authority, and with Jewish finance his plot against the Catholic Church met with success.
Thanks to our propaganda, to our theories of Liberalism and to our misrepresentations of Freedom, the minds of many among the Gentiles were ready to welcome the Reformation.
They separated from the Church to fall into our snare. And thus the Catholic Church has been very sensibly weakened, and her authority over the Kings of the Gentiles has been reduced almost to naught.
We are greatful to Protestants for their loyalty to our wishes - although most of them are, in the sincerity of their faith, unaware of their loyalty to us. We are greatful to them for the wonderful help they are giving us in our fight against the stronghold of Christian Civilization, and in our preparation for the advent of our supremacy over the whole world and over the Kingdom of the Gentiles.
So far, we have suceeded in overthrowing most of the Thrones of Europe. The rest will follow in the near future. Russia has already worshipped our rule.
France, with her Masonic Government, is under our thumb. England, in her dependence upon our finance, is under our heel; and in her Protestantism is our hope for the destruction of the Catholic Church.
[ 'Freedom, equality and liberty'... so what! But they were condemned by Pope Pius X in his encyclical on the errors of the Sillon- antipope John Paul II reads address to French President praising the ideals of the Revolution!]
Spain and Mexico are but toys in our hands. And many other countries, including the U.S.A. , have already fallen before our scheming.
But, the Catholic Church is still alive . . . We must destroy her without the least delay and without the slightest mercy.
[ ...and I will be with you all days, even to the consumation of the world...the traditional Latin Mass offered up by the Remnant Catholic Church of the Last Days...]
Most of the Press in the world is under our Control; let us therefore encourage in a still more violent way the hatred of the world against the Catholic Church.
Let us intensify our activities in poisoning the morality of the Gentiles. Let us spread the spirit of revolution in the minds of the people. they must be made to despise Patriotism and the love of their family to consider their faith as a humbug, their obedience to their Church as a degrading servility, so that they may become deaf to the appeal of the Church and blind to her warnings against us.
Let us, above all, make it impossible for Christians outside the Catholic Church to be reunited with that Church or for non - Christians to join the Church; otherwise the greatest obstruction to our domination will be strengthened and all our work undone.
Our plot will be unveiled, the Gentiles will turn against us, in the spirit of revenge, and our domination over them will never be realized."
"Let us remember that as long as there still remain active enemies of the Catholic Church, we may hope to become Masters of the World . . . ( nevertheless) the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before the pope in Rome is dethroned as well as all the other reigning Monarchs of the Gentiles upon earth."
[ ..." I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed; she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heal." Genesis 15.]

John Paul II's Amazing Connection to the Upside Down Cross and the Antichrist.Friday 20th May,2011 Feast of St. Bernadine,Confessor
John Paul II's Amazing Connection to the Upside Down Cross and the Antichrist.
-a transcripton of the video by Bro. Peter Dimond,MHFM
___________________________________________
"This is Bro. Peter Dimond, vaticancatholic.com.....I want to talk about the upside down cross symbol,the "beatification "of John Paul II and perhaps a few other issues...
People know that in the year 2000, when he was in Israel, John Paul II sat with a large upside down cross over his head, and when we exposed this we were actually attacked not only by defenders of antipope John Paul II and a member of the Vatican II church, but even by some sedevacantists.
They said that John Paul II's decision to sit in a chair with a huge upside down cross over his head, didn't indicate anthing nefarious or occultic at all because St.Peter according to tradition was crucified upside down in Rome.
This is a ridiculous argument as we have pointed out in the past because the upside down cross is clearly one of the most recognizable symbols in Satanism.
It is used by satanic heavy metal groups, mass murders, occultists of various stripes, and there was no commemoration of St.Peter, whatsoever, when John Paul II sat in the chair with the upside down cross over his head.
The Catholic Church does not use the upside down cross, and the only exception would be perhaps an altar or a shrine that is specifically and clearly dedicated to St.Peter.
When John Paul II did it, it was not a feast day of St.Peter - it was not any of his feast days,and there was no indication that he was commemorating St.Peter at all.
But it is another example of an action that is evil and symbolic, but there is just enough touch of ambiguity, so that the wicked defenders of the counter church can try to excuse it or explain it away. Those who defend his use of the upside down cross, whether they were members of the Vatican II church or sedevacantists,are defenders of the mockers of iniquity and demonstrate bad will.
And, on this point, I recently came across an interesting quote, and it deals with the period between the 2nd Crusade and the 3rd Crusade.
At that time there was a huge battle at the Horns of Hatton - at this battle the crusading Christians suffered their worst defeat at the hands of the Muslims of any defeat they suffered during the period of the Crusades.
In other words,it was the worst moment for the Christians in the Crusades.
In this battle the true Cross was captured by the Muslims.
I want to quote from a book called "The New Concise History of the Crusades" by Th0mas E Madden.,page 76.
He says, 'Saladin, the leader of the Muslims,also won for himself a great symbolic prize, the true cross carried into battle by the King of Jerusalem, which was paraded through the streets of Damascus upside down.
So, after winning this huge battle that was so devastating to the Christian side,the Muslims took the true cross and paraded it around the streets of Damascus upside down - I don't think they were doing it to honor St. Peter!
They were doing it because it represented the overturning of Christianity, the destruction and defeat of Christianity, and that's also what John Paul II meant by sitting in the chair with the upside down cross over his head!
Since we believe he was not only an antipope, but actually the Antichrist, it makes sense that he would sit with the symbol over his head.
By the way, I should probably add that the devastating loss suffered at the Horns of Hatton at the hands of the Muslims,was essentially avenged at the 3rd Crusade under Richard the Lionheart.
And the 1st Crusade was a miraculous success,so it's not as if the Muslims had the ultimate victory.
Now,this brings me to another point, which is where did John Paul II sit with the huge upside down cross over his head?
He did it in Israel!
If John Paul II is in fact the Antichrist, as we believe and we can prove without any doubt that he was an antipope, a heretic and Antichrist...it would therefore make sense that he would appear in Israel with the upside down cross over his head,because it was in Israel where the true Christ was on the cross - and so if John Paul II was the Antichrist, when he was in the Holy Land,he appeared as the antithesis of Christ on the Cross, with the upside down cross over his head.
It's also such a bold move to sit in a chair with a huge upside down cross over your head in front of 100,000 and on television that would be broadcast to millions of people that he could only probably get away with it once, and of course,the devilo's dupes tried to explain it away.
On this point,we recently saw the "beatification" of John Paul II on May 1st as we've discussed. We believe it will be the "canonization" of John Paul II by Benedict XVI that will fulfil Apocalypse 13., and the second beast causing people to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.
We explain that in our video,"Is the World about to End?" parts 5 through to 7.
The entire video,however, is necessary to get a full picture of that point, and the reason we believe it's the "canonization" and not the beatification" is simply because a beatification is not a binding decree on the universal church - it's a formal allowance that such a person may be considered blessed. It doesn't command the entire Church to recognize him as one of the saints.
It simply allows those who want to regard him as blessed in certain areas to do so.
It's therefore important,but it doesn't invoke the magisterial binding teaching authority of the Church.
With canonization, that's where the entire Church is commanded to recognize this individual as a saint, and that's why canonization has been held to be infallible and not necessarily beatification.
Nevertheless,the "beatification" of John Paul II was extremely significant, because it was a manifestation of apostasy to even allow such a heretic to be called "blessed" - And it's also a major step which precedes the canonization.
Benedict XVI, of course, being a heretic and antipope, has no authority to beatify or canonize anyone.
But, the point is, in view of the concilliar church, he does have authority, and when he "canonizes" John Paul II, he will be forcing the entire group of individuals who acknowledge him as "pope," to worship as a saint in the sense of venerating John Paul II.
This distinction between the allowance that beatification confers, and the obligation that canonization imposes, is clear in the beatification formula.
In the formula that was pronounced by Benedict XVI, in regard to John Paul II, he said, among other things, " With Our Apostolic Authority, we concede that the venerable servant of God, John Paul II, pope, from this hour can be called blessed."
And, he goes on to say, " It is possible to celebrate his feast."
Therefore it's a concession, not a command, for the universal church - it's still extraordinarily evil, and it's the big symbolic step that precedes the "caononization". However, it's not the command.
There's already a report that the "canonization" of John Paulo II will occur in 1 - 5 years, and it might be much sooner than 5 years - it might be a year or two.
When that occurs it will be the "canonization" of New Church, and the defenders of the antipope will be forced to venerate as a saint this man John Paul II who denied everything - he taught universal salvation, taught and denied every dogma you can possibly imagine - basically taught "every man is the Son of God"
And that brings me to another point - which is, we believe that John Paul II is the Antichrist, not only because his trademark teaching was that every man is the son of God, and that fits precisely with the Bible's definition of Antichrist and the dissolving of Jesus Christ, and not only because he fits with what's prophecied in Apocalypse 13 etc.,but also because he represented the Antichrist in so many ways.
For example, he was the man who buried Fatima.
It was under his watch that the phony 3rd secret of Fatima was published in the year 2000 - essentially he buried Fatima in the eyes of most of the world.
Not only did he bury Fatima, but he wound up putting himself in the centre of the fulfillment of the 3rd secret, because in the Vatican's official interpretation confirmed by the false Sister Lucy, John Paul II was the man who fulfills the 3rd secret.
So, he buries Fatima; he's the anti - Fatima and he puts himself as the fulfilment of it.
That's the role of the Antichrist, and it makes sense that he would do that.
Also there were numerous other symbolic actions, like I was saying earlier, like how it was in Israel that he appeared with the upside down cross over his head.
It was also in the year 2000, and around the year 2000 that he did a number of things that are highly symbolic.
For example, at that time he proclaimed new martyrs in Rome, at the Colosseum. There was this big ceremony at Rome at the Roman Colosseum, at the spot where the true Christian Catholic martyrs were tortured and killed for not denying the faith - at this spot he procaimed all kinds of non - Catholics to be new martyrs.
He is directly mocking the true saints and martyrs and their sacrifices at the very spot where they made their sacrifice - that was the role of the Antichrist.
He's overturning everything that is important to traditional Christianity.
It was at the same time, around the year 2000, that he denied that Heaven, Hell and Purgatory are places. He therefore undercut the very foundation of eternal life, and that was reported all over the world.
It was questioned for a while, and then people moved on. It was also around the year 2000 that he apologized for the "sins of the church" and the Crusades, these holy endeavors which were approved by the Church, which represented the battle against evil.
He therefore, mocked the Church!
And, the year 2000 is significant because in his first encyclical, " Redemptor Hominis," John Paul II cryptically alludes to a mark on the face of human history which will be left by the year 2000," as we explained in the video, "Is the world about to End?"
It was also, just before the year 2000, that he rejected the entire Council of Trent, by agreeing with the Lutherans on the doctrine of Justification and teaching Justification by Faith alone and that the Council of Trent no longer applied.
Thus,by the year 2000 he had systematically mocked or denied every important aspect of Christianity.
And, of course, there was his notorious promotion of false ecumenism and every detail it involved. He specifically bowed his head with the Jews as they prayed for the coming of the Messiah in the synagogue.
That was the role of the Antichrist, because he wanted to make it public, that as he is the representative of what people thought was the Christian Church, he is saying, Jesus isn't even the Messiah.
He drinks from the bowl that the pagans concoct, specifically to deny what is taught in 1 Corinthians about not drinking from the chalice of the devils, and on and on... so he covered all the bases!
The point is that there is much more than his preaching that every man is Jesus Christ, his notorious promotion of ecumenism, his fulfilment of Apocalypse 13 which persuades us that he is the Antichrist.
He represented the overturning of the Christian Faith.
And those who accept Benedict XVI in the light of the "beatification" of antipope John Paul II, blaspheme God and deny Jesus Christ, and when he "canonizes" him, they will be worshipping the beast in our view, but certainly a beast and an antichrist.
Here's something else which is extremely interesting.
If you do a search for "upside down cross" or "inverted cross," guess who comes up more prominently and more frequently than anyone or anything else?
That's right. John Paul II!
He has been memorialized throughout the world with the upside down cross - anyone who searches ... will find him displaying the symbol.
Wouldn't it make sense, that as Christ is identified with the cross, the Antichrist would go down in history as synonomous with the upside down cross.

Connections - May 1 and the "Death"of Osama Bin Laden. Wednesday 4th May,2011 Feast of St.Monica,W
Connections-May 1 and the Death of Osama Bin Laden
[ a transcription of the video from MHFM by Bro. Peter Dimond ]
________________________________________
"This is Bro. Peter Dimond,vaticancatholic.com...
I want to talk about the hoax surrounding the recent announcement that Osama Bin Laden is dead.
Those who follow these issues know that the evidence is strong that Bin Laden has been dead for years. It is also a fact that Bin Laden is nothing more than a CIA asset and creation, a character on whom they can pin any fake terror attack that they carry out!
He had nothing to do with 9/11, and in fact was not even officially charged with it, yet most Americans believe he was responsible for it.
Now, what I want to talk about is: notice on what day the conspirators announced Bin Laden was dead. They announced he was dead on May 1.
May 1 is the day on which the Illuminati was founded. It is the most important day to occultist members of secret societies.
Many of these conspiratorial events occur from April 19 to May 1, because on April 19 on the satanic calendar,there is a 13 day period of blood sacrifice to the beast culminating on May 1.
What are the chances they actually killed Bin Laden on May 1? Almost zero!
It's obviously a satanic joke that their fictitious character with whom they've been deceiving the public for years is dead and they announce it on the day dear to them.
They are laughing at the people. It's a big HOAX!
It's also relevant that a CIA special operation is the operation which supposedly killed Bin Laden- that's very interesting isn't it - it wasn't regular military,it was a special CIA operation,so it would be much easier for a special CIA operation to carry out the hoax and cover - up of the alleged "killing"of Bin Laden.

And what's interesting, is that the official speech was given just before midnight on May 1.
So, not only was the announcement made in the news, but the official speech confirming it all, happened on May 1.
I also believe it's not an accident that this news came out just a few days after Obama released his so - called long form birth certificate,which many experts claim is a forgery. The evidence for this is building, more and more people are talking about it.
What does the Bin Laden announcement do?
It distracts the entire world from the long form birth certificate issue and shifts the focus away from questions about its authenticity.
I'm
convinced the two events are linked. They've had years to decide on
what they wanted to do with the long form birth certificate, because
they've been fighting its release in lawsuits for a number of years.
I believe they had it planned for sometime to announce the hoax of Bin Laden's death, shortly after the allegedly release of the long form birth certificate.
Not only does it distract the entire world from the long form birth certificate issue, but even more importantly, it rallies public support around Obama and gives him a new found credibility as an American, someone who will take out America's No.1 enemy at the very time many people are questioning his status as an American.
In other words,if you are doubting he is one of us - he's the guy who took out our biggest enemy!
It also, interestingly, was announced during Donald Trump's show, the "Celebrity Apprentice"- and those who follow the news know that Donald Trump and Obama have been sparring - and I read it in the news that the cutaway from Donald Trump's show on NBC, the "Celebrity Apprentice", to cover the breaking news that Osama Binn Laden is dead.
Is that just a coincidence? I don't think so.
This also gives the individuals who carry out these conspiracies numerous options.
They can carry out a fake terror attack as retaliation for the "death"of Osama Bin Laden.
They can also continue to get funding for intelligence gathering operations by pointing to this example of success.
It gives pause to many people whom might have been analyzing the long form birth certificate issue - it might "soften"them up.
So, I believe the whole thing is a hoax!
The fact they did it on May 1, makes it extremely obvious,and when you combine it with what we know about Bin Laden- his CIA connections - how on record they have produced fake Bin Laden videos as well as the fact that they do this just a few days after the alleged long form birth certificate is released, a clear picture begins to emerge.
So it kind of angered me how the whole world is being deceived again, and you see these people chanting, "USA! USA!", as if Bin Laden was our main enemy.
It's just astounding the cluelessness of most people,the level of deception that people are under, when the media is controlled, the whole world can be deceived.
It's really an outrage!"

"Go out from her my people..."
The following article is a summary of a newspaper report by "Stuff.co.nz" reporting on damage to buildings and in particular churches,in this town of 400,000, as sustained in the recent February 22, 2011 earthquake to hit Christchurch, N.Z. - it is very interesting how the secular world has failed to grasp the significance of all this - and for us who have the true Catholic faith, the conclusions are hard to ignore...
Catholicism Canterbury spiritual home in doubt.
"A
dome and part of the tower that supported it tumbled from the
Christchurch Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in the February 22
earthquake.
A Statue of Our Lady, standing on a ledge inside the tower remained standing. The statue was unharmed.
Before the quake, it was facing inwards, where the bellringers could see it as they tolled the bells.
After the quake, it was facing outwards.
The bells are silent now. The ringers are wondering what message lies in Our Lady's 180 degree turn?
The domed bascilica is the spiritual home to the Catholics of Canterbury and Westland. It is also a wonderous architectural statement. Perhaps even more wonderous is that the building project was funded by a small congregation of mainly working class Irish immigrants more than a century ago....
The Cathedral has been closed since September 4th when quake damage made it unsafe to enter. The dome has been a significant element in the cityscape since 1905, renowned for its rows of columns and soaring interior vistas, the Cathedral is one of Christchurch's architectural treasures.
Banished by ancient religious bigotries to beyond the pale of the central city, it has tended to be missed by visitors who admire the city heritage buildings.
If it does not rise again, it will be missed much more. Perhaps that is why Our Lady has turned to face outwards to the world."
Conclusion:
The church which began at Vatican II does not represent the Catholic Church; it is a new religion completely opposed to the true Church in all its teachings.
I believe the fact that Our Lady is now facing outwards can only be interpreted as her rejection of the "whore of babylon" as represented by the present occupants of this once Catholic edifice, and a final warning to any Catholics who might be still open to the truth.
How could it not be otherwise?
"And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying: Go out from her my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues." Apoc. 18:4.

Blessed Oliver Plunkett, 13th February, 2011 - 6th Sunday After Epiphany
Blessed Oliver Plunkett, Irish priest, archbishop and martyr [ 1625 - 1681 ]
_____________________________
Oliver Plunkett was born on 1 November, 1625 into an Anglo -Norman family at Loughcrew, near Oldcastle, Co Meath.
______________
In 1647, he went to the Irish College in Rome to study for the priesthood and was ordained a priest in 1654.
______________
The
arrival of cromwell in Ireland in 1649 initiated the massacre and
persecution of Catholics. Cromwell left in 1650 but his legacy was
enacted in anti - Catholic legislation.
_______________
Catholic
priests were outlawed and those who continued to administer the
sacraments were hanged or transported to the West Indies.
To avoid persecution, Oliver Plunkett petitioned to remain in Rome, and in 1657 became a professor of theology.
________________
________________
When
anti - Catholicism eased, Oliver Plunkett returned to Ireland. In 1657
he became archbishop of Armagh. He set about reorganising the ravaged
Church and built schools for the young and the clergy, whom he found 'ignorant in moral theology and controversies.'
___________________
___________________
He tackled drunkeness among the clergy, writing "Let us remove this defect from an Irish priest, and he will become a saint.'
__________________
__________________
In
1670, he summoned an episcopal conference in Dublin, and later held
numerous synods in his own archdiocese. However, he had a long standing
difference with the archbishop of Dublin, Peter Talbot, over their rival
claims to be primate of Ireland. He also antagonised the Franciscans,
particularly when he favored the Dominicans in a property dispute.
___________________
With

hiding, refusing a government edict to register at a seaport and await
passage into exile. In 1678, the so - called Popish Plot concocted in
England by Titus Oates led to further anti - Catholicism.

The 9/11 Pentagon Conspiracy - Jesse Ventura Monday 3rd January, 2011. - Octave Day of St. John, ApEv.
The 9/11 Pentagon Conspiracy -Jesse Ventura by Brother Peter Dimond MHFM
__________________________________________
"This
is Bro. Peter Dimond of Most Holy Family Monastery - I just wanted to
recommend people to watch Jesse Ventura's episode of "Conspiracy Theory" dealing with the 9/11 Pentagon Conspiracy.
We have a link to the
YouTube video of that episode in the description of this video - it's
really a stunning episode that is absolutely worth watching for those
who are interested in what is going on in the world, and really the worldwide police state that is being constructed all around us, because 9/11
was the event that set all of this in motion - it was what brought in
the "Patriot Act," and all of these "security measures' to track people,
to limit freedoms, and these measures have not only been extended
greatly in AMERICA BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Many
people have opposed the 9/11 official story - we have discussed it and
linked to documentaries on it - and there is abundant evidence proving
the official story is a FRAUD!
Some
of these documentaries did deal with the facts which disprove the
official story concerning the Pentagon, but in my opinion, this is the
best compilation of evidence on the conspiracy surrounding the Pentagon -
it contains one bombshell piece of evidence after another!
Among
other things, in this episode, it interviews an L.A. Air Traffic
Controller who heard chatter on the day of 9/11 about how the Airforce was told to "stand down" and
not intercept the planes that had deviated from their courses, and that
this order came from the highest level, is just stunning!
He also gets into Norman Manetto, the Transportation Secretary, who testified that the plane was allowed to approach the Pentagon and was deliberately not intercepted - that's been covered in many documentaries - but one point that is interesting is that Manetto's testimony not only was NOT used by the 9/11 Commission, but it was actually deleted from the video archive.
So they specifically deleted it, because it shatters the official story!
He also covers this Nasa Engineer, who demonstrates that the idea that the nose of a plane could have caused the damage that was done to the Pentagon, is simply non - sensensical.
Many documentaries have covered the fact that there are no pictures of a plane hitting the Pentagon, despite an abundance of cameras in the area that filmed the event; it took all kinds of lawsuits to finally get only five frames of what really happened released - and flames show a bright orange explosion more consistent with a missile strike.
One of the most fascinating pieces of information in this episode, is the interview with this woman who worked within the Pentagon, and in the area where the plane allegedly struck - she claimed she actually walked out the hole that was created and she saw no evidence of a plane at all!
She further explains how she was threatened and told not to tell the story as she saw it, but to say a plane had struck the Pentagon instead!
[ A plane didn't make this hole entering or exiting the Pentagon -it's nose simply would not survive the impact! ]
One of the most interesting aspects of the video, in my opinion was how there was no way the supposed 'highjacker' , Hani Hanjour, could have flown the plane into
the Pentagon.
Jesse Ventura interviews different pilots and they actually do a Simulation, and try to re -inact what it would be like to fly a plane into the Pentagon - these accomplished pilots conclude there is NO WAY that anyone, even an expert pilot could have flown at that speed and altitude into the Pentagon!
Hani Hanjour was not even a good pilot - they wouldn't even rent him a much less sophisticated Cessna, light aircraft!
One of the other bombshell pieces of evidence he covers in this video, is the incredible fact that on September 10th, 2001, the day before 9/11, there was a press conference with the Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, in which he said 2.3 trillion dollars of military funds could not be accounted for - lost!
The next day 9/11 occurred, and everyone, of course, forgot about it. However the area where all the information on that lost money was contained was the very spot where the the explosion occurred. So all of the data and the people who would have been working on that issue, or familiar with it, they were all lost on 9/11! [ like the lost 2.3 trillion!]
This provides a precise explanation for why they would have done this in the very area they did!
There are many other pieces of evidence, and we found it definitely worth watching, and although it's not obviously necessary from a spiritual point of view, it is important if one wants to consider what's happening in the world in a proper framework - it does have spiritual inplications because if people can recognize the massive deceptions occurring on the secular level with other events, that can cause people to realize that they need to re - assess their world view.
Coming to that realization can also cause a person to consider that he or she might be deceived on the most important spiritual matters, and that there are malevolent forces out there working to deceive people.
It frequently happens that when people wake up to secular conspiracies they look into what they have to do spiritually and find the traditional Catholic Faith.
Sometimes they can delve too deeply into these secular issues and so are distracted from their spiritual pursuits and their study of and practice of the Catholic Faith.
Nevertheless, it is important for people to be aware of these issues.
This is especially true when we consider how quickly they are working to implement this authoritarian police state.
Just yesterday, we posted on our website, the video clip concerning how Homeland Security is warning that terrorists might attack salad bars, therefore some are concluding we might have to remove salad bars from Malls/Supermarkets etc completely - they are trying to completely transform society, assume total control over everything, with cameras going up everywhere - it has really increased in the last 6 months to a year!
And it all began with the 9/11 Hoax!
It's at the point where they can now assume control of basically anything in the name of a TERROR threat or protecting people from terrorism, when as this documentary and many documentaries about 9/11 show it's all a TOTAL FRAUD!
Basically, all of these terror attacks and documentaries dealing with such incidents as the Oklahoma Bombing, 7/7, Christmas Day Bomber etc - they are all staged as part of a plan to consolidate power and control people.
If people do not believe that the Main Stream Media ( MSM) is controlled, a careful consideration of this issue - the 9/11 Pentagon attack - as well as the JFK issue, absolutely proves that, because the MSM will not give any fair coverage to the truth what really happened on 9/11.
Almost every time they mention conspiracy theories about 9/11, they blast the people who promote them, ridicule, half truth, and don't give them a chance to present any evidence - It's a hatchet job every time!
This all shows you do not have a free media at all - and that's how people are deceived because they just go along with what they are told!
[ the 'magic bullet' ]
It's just like Jesse Ventura's other episode on Conspiracy Theory covering the JFK assassination, which is extremely interesting as well and well worth watching - they have this confession from this person who was involved in in the JFK conspiracy - a total 100% proof that this was a conspiracy!
The man's name is E. Howard Hunt, an intelligence officer with the C.I.A. - a high placed officer, who was very well connected - this guy admitted to it, and on a recording prior to his death, with his son delivering the information - all this wasn't covered, not even once by the MSM. That's astounding!
You have a confession in the murder of JFK - and they don't even cover it at all!!
And, they totally ridicule anyone that doesn't believe Lee Harvey Oswald did it alone!
People may complain about body scanners and this increased security measures we are seeing everywhere - even members of the traditional movement - some of these same people have ridiculed those who seek the truth about 9/11 - their doing so helps to cement in the minds of people the entire hoax, and as a result Homeland Security and government can take over, get what they want all in the name of supposedly protecting the people from terrorism, when the whole thing, as 9/11 proves, turns out to be a Hoax!
After 9/11, Anwar al- Awlaki, who is now supposedly Al Quada's No. 1 man - the equivalent of Bin Laden, dined at the Pentagon as reported by CBS/FOX news
It's all a FRAUD! He dined at the Pentagon!
.... so those who reject the truth of 9/11 - you actually helped to perpetrate this fraud and helped facilitate the takeover of America and the rest of the world in the name of fighting "terrorism" - and by suffering these horrible measures you are getting what you deserve!"

Glory To God In The Manger. 8 December, 2010. The Immaculate Conception
Glory To God in The Manger
Nineteen hundred and fifty three years ago we were confronted with something new.
We had never seen its like before, nor have we since.
Angels deserted their heavens to shout and sing about it. Shepherds abandoned their sheep on the hillside because of it. Kings left their kingdoms behind to journey in search of it.
For, nineteen hundred and fifty three years ago, God became man, and was born in Bethlehem of a Blessed Virgin Mother.
Since the coming of God-made-man was something unprecedented in our midst, we could never have predicted what its consequences would be. Certainly we could never have reasoned to the fact that it would mean bloodshed - that seventy- two holy and innocent babies would immediately be put to death as a result of that birth. And certainly, we had no idea that if God were to be born into His own world, that the world would even demand the shedding of even His Blood, thirty or so years later.
Because we were totally inexperienced in the matter of an Emmanuel, a God-with-us, we had no way of telling, left to ourselves, that the memory of Bethlehem would go on more securely than ever, after the disgrace of Calvary.
Nor indeed, could we have guessed that by a perpetuation of this very Calvary, in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. God was arranging to abide with us as our Emmanuel, in the consecrated hands of His Catholic priests.
Fittingly, the Holy Sacrifice that is offered on the twenty-fifth of December, during which God comes to our altars on the anniversary of His coming to Bethlehem, has long been regarded as especially "Christ's Mass" - which has abbreviatedly come to be Christmas.
The Christmas we are about to celebrate will be the nineteen hundred and fifty-third. And although its survival is ultimately secure, its challenging truth will suffer countless attacks.
Here in Boston, ( a town reputed to be well-disposed toward such considerations as birth and Divinity), Christmas will come as a foreign extravagance to our primeval Puritans, whose grandelders could recall how the December twenty- fifths of their childhood were dismissed as "popish feasts."
From the more recent denominations of Boston Protestantism, Christmas will get a varied reception. The followers of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy, for example, who believe there is no such thing as death, will be quietly disturbed - realizing that if they allow Jesus to be truly born at Christmas, He will grow up to be a serious threat to their theology when He truly dies on Good Friday.
And we can count on local manifestations of the older, more artful rebukes to Christmas: those of the Masons and the Jews.
Still - however much it will be scoffed at as the Birthday of God- incarnate from the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this year's Christmas will not be a failure. It will be a nineteen hundred and fifty- third commemoration of a Happy Birthday for Jesus.
For at "Christ's Mass" this December twenty- fifth, Jesus welcomed anew at the words of Consecration, will be wrapped in the swaddling clothes of bread- appearances, and laid in the most precious of mangers, a Catholic child's Holy Communion heart.
POINTERS
Martin Luther, a diabolical apostate priest, now in Hell, has been made the hero of a movie put out by the Lutheran Church. Catholics are being induced to attend this movie even by editors of Catholic magazines, whose movie reviewers report that although there are a few disappointing spots in the film, it is not, on the whole, a bad movie for Catholics to see.
If it is not an unqualified mortal sin for Catholics to attend a showing of Martin Luther, then it is utterly foolish for the Church to continue to demand that Catholics avoid occasions of sin and stay away from books on the index.

This month marks the beginning of a Marian year, proclaimed by Pope Pius XII to honour the one hundreth anniversary of the definition of the dogma of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception.
We are therefore printing below a prayer addressed to Our Lady by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, the pope who defined the dogma.
"O Mary, mother of mercy and refuge of sinners! We beseech thee to look with pitying eyes on heretical and schismatical nations. Do thou, who art the seat of wisdom, illumine their minds, wretchedly involved in the darkness of ignorance and sin, that they may know the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church to be the only true Church of Jesus Christ, outside of which no sanctity or salvation can be found. Finally, complete their conversion by obtaining for them the grace to believe every truth of our Holy faith, and to submit to the Sovereign Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth, that thus, being soon united to us by the bonds of divine charity, they may maje with us but one fold under one and the same pastor, and that we may thus, O glorious Virgin! all sing exultingly forever: 'Rejoice, O Virgin Mary! alone thou hast destroyed all heresies in the whole world.' Amen."
BY FATHER FEENEY
O LOVE
O Love, and have you come to share
Our bones, our breath, our lungs, our air?
O Weightless, shall Your burden be
Our leaden Law of Gravity?
Within our fetters dare You, Fleet,
Go groping with our hands and feet?
And must our senses be assigned You!
Ears to deafen, eyes to blind You!
If I were God, I swear I'd loathe
Myself in measurements to clothe.
Were I the Father's Word, no earth
Would straw and stable me at birth,
My tale would run - I must be honest -
Et Verbum caro factum non est.
VIRGIN MOTHER
Christianity is not the religion that holds that God exists. Every religion holds this dogma, whether it conceives God to be one or many. Christianity is the religion that holds that God became man, that He entered our ranks, assumed our nature, translated Himself into our idiom, "sifted Himself to suit our sight," and was born in Bethlehem in a temporal generation, Who was born in eternity in an eternal generation.
When we betake ourselves to the crib on Christmas morning, it is not to see just another baby, nor even to see just another mother. This is the most different child and the most different mother who have ever existed. No body like them ever was before, or will ever be again. Take the mother.
Her child was born of the love of the Holy Ghost: sheer love made her fruitful.
She is the fulfillment of a thousand prophecies uttered in the Old Testament. As a special preparation for this most holy perogative, she was herself conceived free from Original Sin, never tainted by the evil that beset our nature when Adam spoiled us all in Paradise.
The Immaculate Conception has nothing to do, as is commonly supposed, with Our Lady's chastity, nor with the chastity of her mother and father. The Immaculate Conception refers to Our Lady's Christianity. It's meaning is best studied, not in connection with the Nativity or the Annunciation, but in connection with the third chapter of Genesis and with the discourse of Our Lord at the Last Supper; for there is a world of difference between the dogma of the Immaculate Conception and that of the Virgin Birth.
The Immaculate Conception refers to Our Lady at her own birth and the sanctified condition of her soul in the nine months that preceded it. The Virgin Birth refers to her at Our Lord's birth, and to the fact that she conceived Him without the aid of man. The Immaculate Conception refers to Our Lady as a child; the Virgin Birth has to do with her as a mother.
The Immaculate Conception has reference to the condition of Our Lady's soul at the instant of its creation; the Virgin Birth to the condition of her body before, during, and after the time that she became fruitful with the Divine Child. This is the woman, the miracle woman of all the centuries, who stands so quietly by her Infant in the cold of the first Christmas Eve, and at whose side stands meekly her husband, Saint Joseph, marveling at the Child of predilection which was not his own.
NOEL
When I said Mass at midnight,
And candles were aglow,
I saw a white old woman,
Two thousand years ago,
My very great grandmother,
Who spun me flesh and bone,
Who felt my fingers aching,
In the atoms of her own,
In whom my eyes were shining,
However far away,
When Christ was in His cradle,
And it was Christmas day.
THE NATIVE - A TRACT IN ONE ACT
The curtain rises on what is plainly meant to be a Desert Island setting. A kangaroo scurries across the stage and some exotic bird-calls are heard in the distance, just to drive the thing home. Suddenly, emerging through a dense vine, a man appears. On his head is a pith helmet, around his neck a Roman collar, and under his arm a copy of the Denver Register. He is a missionary; and he is looking for the Ignorant Native.
As he stands staring about him, there is a sudden shout overhead. A figure comes hurtling down through the trees and lands upright in front of the missionary.
Missionary ( greatly excited ) - Can it be? Look at me. Do you know what I am?
Have you ever seen anyone like me?
Ignorant Native( emphatically) - I should say not.
M - The Ignorant Native! At last I have found you! And just in time. Come, we must hurry.
I. N. - Where are we going?
M. - I have been sent to bring you to America, to a huge celebration being given in your honor. A plane is waiting in the lagoon to take us to New York.
I.N. - What did I do?
M - What did you do? My dear man, as though you didn't know. You have the distinction of being the very first person in all the world ever to have received Baptism of Desire.
I.N. - ( impressed) - You don't say!
M. - Why, you are the very foundation of Baptism of Desire. It was invented to answer the question, "How is a native on a desert island, who is completely ignorant of the Catholic Faith, going to be saved?" Today, millions of people have Baptism of Desire, including almost every Jew in America. But it all rests on you. You were the first, and you opened the way for the others.
I.N. - And so you're going to have a celebration for me?
M. - The greatest celebration we ever had. As soon as we arrive in New York, there will be a ticker-tape parade down Fifth Avenue. There will be banquets and ceremonies in your honor all over the country. The week of your arrival is being declared National Native Week. Bishop Sheen is going to have you as guest of honor on his television program, and simultaneously he will begin a new series of talks, "Ignorance is Worth Having."
You are to be invited by Father Francis Connell to give a course of lectures at Catholic University on "Living Up to the Natural Law." Father Keller wants to make a Christopher film short of you playing golf with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. And,oh, I could go on and on.
I.N. - Will I be asked to make many speeches? I'm not too good at that.
M. - No, people will only expect you to affirm a few basic principles which the theologians agree are responsible for your having received Baptism of Desire. For instance, if you are asked to say something, you might simply declare your belief in the fact that God is, and is a remunerator.
I.N. - Oh, yes, I might simply do that - (confidentially) What's a remunerator?
M. - Never mind. Perhaps we had better just ask you questions. Try this one - it expresses Baptism of Desire in a nutshell; Do you fell an inchoate longing to be implicitly united to whatever it is you would want to be united to if you knew what it was?
I.N. - Awww, now you are teasing me.
M. - I most certainly am not teasing you. This is a very serious matter. Why, I'm beginning to wonder if you have Baptism of Desire at all!
I.N.- Of course I have Baptism of Desire. That's why you are going to have a celebration for me. Of course I have it . . . Except, there's just one question I would like to ask.
M. - Yes?
I.N. - What is Baptism of Desire?
The missionary hurries off, mumbling to himself; he is obviously in a state of great agitation. the Ignorant Native turns and climbs back into his tree. A kangaroo
scurries across the stage. And the curtain falls.

The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church. Monday 15th November, Feast of St. Albert the Great, BCD
The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church
In the London Catholic Gazette of February 1936, was published a sensational article under the heading: "The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church."
The monthly organ of the Catholic Missionary Society of England was quoting speeches delivered in a series of secret Jewish meetings in Paris. A few weeks later, the Parisian weekly, Le Revell du Peuple, published a similiar account, adding that the statements had been made at a recent convention of the B'nai - B'rith ( Secret Masonic order into which no Gentile is admitted ) held in Paris.
The article of the Catholic Gazette read as follows: " 'The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church' "That there has been and still is a Jewish problem, no one can deny. Since the rejection of Israel, 1900 years ago, the Jews have scattered in every direction, and in spite of difficulties and even persecution, they have established themselves as a power in nearly every nation of Europe.
[ Antipope John Paul II with members of the B'nai B'rith]
Jacobs, in his Jewish Contributions to Civilization, glories in the fact that without detriment to their own racial unity and International character, the Jews have been able to spread their doctrines and increase their political, social and economic influence among the nations."
In view of this Jewish problem, which affects the Catholic Church in a special way, here are the amazing extracts from a number of speeches made under the auspices of a Jewish society in Paris around that time.
[ Antipope Benedict XVI accepts painting from the Jewish Freemasonic Order, B'nai B'rith in 2010]
- The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church -
"As long as there remains among the Gentiles any moral conception of the social order, and until all faith, patriotism, and dignity are uprooted, our reign over the world shall not come.
We have already fulfilled part of our work, but we cannot claim that the whole of our work is done. We have still a long way to go before we can overthrow our main opponent: the Catholic Church . . . We must always bear in mind that the Catholic Church is the only institution which has stood, and which will, as long as it remains in existence, stand in our way.
The Catholic Church, with her methodical work and her edifying and moral teachings, will always keep her children in such a state of mind, as to make them too self respecting to yeild to our domination, and to bow before our future King of of Israel.
That is why we have been striving to discover the best way of shaking the Catholic Church to her very foundations.
We have spread the spirit of revolt and false liberalism among the nations of the Gentiles . . . to persuade them away from their faith and even make them ashamed of professing the precepts of their Religion and obeying, and the Commandments of their Church.
We have brought many of them to boast of being atheists and more than that, to glory in being descendants of the ape!
We have given them new theories, impossible of realization, such as Communism, Anarchism, and Socialism, which are now serving our purposes.
The stupid Gentiles have accepted them with the greatest enthusiasm, without realizing that those theories are ours, and that they constitute our most powerful instrument against themselves . . . We have blackened the Catholic Church with the most ignominious calumnies.
We have blackened her history and disgraced even her noblest activities. We have imputed to her the wrongs of her enemies, and have thus brought these latter to stand more closely by our side. So much so, that we are now witnessing, to our greatest satisfaction, rebellions against the Church in several countries.
We have turned the clergy into objects of hatred and ridicule and we have subjected them to the contempt of the crowd.
We have caused the practice of the Catholic religion to be considered out of date and a mere waste of time . . . And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have proved easier dupes than we expected them to be.
One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd ( sic) of sheep. Let them graze in our fields till they become fat enough to be worthy of being immolated to our future King of the world . . . We have founded many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our directions.
We have made it an honor, a great honor, for the Gentiles to join us in our associations, which are, thanks to our gold, flourishing now more than ever.
[ yeah, right! but look what I found. And all 8 oz!]Yet, it remains our secret that those Gentiles who betray their own and most precious interests, by joining us in our plot, should never know that those associations are of our creation, and that they serve our purpose."
"One of the many triumphs of our Freemasonry is that those Gentiles who become members of our lodges, should never suspect that we are using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect the throne of our Universal King of Israel; and should never know that we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our future King of the World.
So far, we have considered our attacks upon the Catholic Church from the outside. But this is not all. Let us now explain how we have gone further in our work, to hasten the ruin of the Catholic Church and how we have penetrated into her most intimate circles, and brought even some of her Clergy to become pioneers of our cause."
"Apart altogether from the influence of our philosophy, we have taken other steps to secure a breach in the Catholic Church.
Let me explain how this has been done. We have induced some of our children to join the Catholic body, with the explicit intimation that they should work in a still more efficient way for the disintegration of the Catholic Church, by creating scandals within her.
We have thus followed the advice of our Prince of the Jews, who so wisely said: 'Let some of your children become canons, so that they may destroy the Church.'
Unfortunately, not all among the 'convert' Jews have proved faithful to their mission. Many of them have even betrayed us! But, on the other hand, others have kept their promise and honored their word.
Thus, the Council of our Elders has proved successful.
We are the Fathers of all Revolutions - even of those which sometimes happen to turn against us.
We are the supreme masters of Peace and War.
We can boast of being the Creators of the REFORMATION!
Calvin was one of our Children; he was of Jewish descent, and was entrusted by Jewish authority and encouraged with Jewish finance to draft his scheme in the Reformation."
"Martin Luther yielded to the influence of his Jewish friends, and again, by Jewish authority, and with Jewish finance his plot against the Catholic Church met with success.
Thanks to our propaganda, to our theories of Liberalism and to our misrepresentations of Freedom, the minds of many among the Gentiles were ready to welcome the Reformation.
They separated from the Church to fall into our snare. And thus the Catholic Church has been very sensibly weakened, and her authority over the Kings of the Gentiles has been reduced almost to naught.
We are greatful to Protestants for their loyalty to our wishes - although most of them are, in the sincerity of their faith, unaware of their loyalty to us. We are greatful to them for the wonderful help they are giving us in our fight against the stronghold of Christian Civilization, and in our preparation for the advent of our supremacy over the whole world and over the Kingdom of the Gentiles.
So far, we have suceeded in overthrowing most of the Thrones of Europe. The rest will follow in the near future. Russia has already worshipped our rule.
France, with her Masonic Government, is under our thumb. England, in her dependence upon our finance, is under our heel; and in her Protestantism is our hope for the destruction of the Catholic Church.
[ 'Freedom, equality and liberty'... so what! But they were condemned by Pope Pius X in his encyclical on the errors of the Sillon- antipope John Paul II reads address to French President praising the ideals of the Revolution!]
Spain and Mexico are but toys in our hands. And many other countries, including the U.S.A. , have already fallen before our scheming.
But, the Catholic Church is still alive . . . We must destroy her without the least delay and without the slightest mercy.
[ ...and I will be with you all days, even to the consumation of the world...the traditional Latin Mass offered up by the Remnant Catholic Church of the Last Days...]
Most of the Press in the world is under our Control; let us therefore encourage in a still more violent way the hatred of the world against the Catholic Church.
Let us intensify our activities in poisoning the morality of the Gentiles. Let us spread the spirit of revolution in the minds of the people. they must be made to despise Patriotism and the love of their family to consider their faith as a humbug, their obedience to their Church as a degrading servility, so that they may become deaf to the appeal of the Church and blind to her warnings against us.
Let us, above all, make it impossible for Christians outside the Catholic Church to be reunited with that Church or for non - Christians to join the Church; otherwise the greatest obstruction to our domination will be strengthened and all our work undone.
Our plot will be unveiled, the Gentiles will turn against us, in the spirit of revenge, and our domination over them will never be realized."
"Let us remember that as long as there still remain active enemies of the Catholic Church, we may hope to become Masters of the World . . . ( nevertheless) the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before the pope in Rome is dethroned as well as all the other reigning Monarchs of the Gentiles upon earth."
[ ..." I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed; she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heal." Genesis 15.]

Creation and Miracles - Past and Present, Wed 29 Sept, 2010. Dedication of St. Michael, Archangel
Creation and Miracles -Past and Present
Brother Michael Dimond
Interviewer:
"We are here today with Brother Michael Dimond to review some of the research that you have been doing over the last year - research on Creation, Supernatural Miracles, and the Shroud of Turin, just to name a few...
Can you tell us more about your research, Brother?"
Brother Michael: " I've tried to go through everything I could on the subjects we are going to be speaking about today, Creation, Evolution, the young earth, the Flood, the Shroud of Turin, Miracles - and it would take, I don't know how many hours to present all the information I have, and so therefore, we are going to have to move quickly through this information, touching upon what I feel is the most interesting of the information that I have.
Now, one thing people have to realize, is that this is not science versus religion. This is religion versus religion.
Evolution is nothing more than a pagan religion - there is no scientific proof for it whatsoever, as you are to see in this tape, and it's a very dangerous theory because what you believe determines how you are going to behave, and evolution has created people like Lenin....Karl Marx dedicated his book Das Kapital to Charles Darwin, and it will continue to create these kinds of people.
In fact, atheistic evolution is the official creed of all Communists and atheists, and a necessary basis for atheism - and so, people believe in the theory of evolution because of their lifestyle.
They don't want there to be a God!
They have these, so-called 'missing links', because they say that we evolved from an ape, but they've only been able to produce a couple of these when they should be able to produce millions of them!
Lucy is the most complete so- called 'missing link' - and was found by Donald Johanson in 1974:
"The leg bones for Lucy were found a mile and a half away from the head bones.
The leg bones were two hundred feet deeper and in a different layer of strata. They were not all found in the same layer of strata or even in the same location; they were scattered over a mile and a half."
All these supposed missing links have all turned out to be either fully human, fully animal or false, and just because some animals have some similar features, doesn't necessarily mean a common ancester - it may mean a common designer.
Colin Patterson - he's an evolutionist, senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History - they have the largest collection of fossils in the whole world, wrote a book supporting evolution, and someone asked him, why he did not include any missing links in his book.
He responded to the letter and said, " I fully agree with your comments on the lack of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I know of any, fossil or living, I would have certainly included them.
I will lay it on the line, there is not one such fossil - so there is no missing link - there are trillions of fossils that you can study, but there are no missing links and there has to be if evolution is true.
D.M.S. Watson said, "The theory of Evolution is a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven true, but because the alternative special creation, is clearly incredible."
You see, a watch demands a watchmaker, a design a designer, and a creation a creator....and they have all these organs - residual organs or vestigal organs - they originally had 200 of them, and now they've been reduced to a handful.
They also say that we go through the process of evolution as an embryo - we have these different gill slits - these are actually folds of skin that develop into respiratory and hearing bracts.
One of the most common examples of evolution, they say, is the Peppered Moth of England. - they had 95% white moths and 5% white moths, and when you had factories burning coal, the trees started turning black from the soot.
They counted the moths again, and they found they now had 95% black moths and 5% white moths. Basically, all that happened was the white moths lost their camouflage and were eaten.
That is a sign of Micro - evolution involving minor changes in the structure and function of a plant or animal. Macro - evolution is something completely different, and that is the teaching that one kind evolves into another.
This hasn't been proven by science, and basically the key teaching of evolution is that life comes from non - living matter - spontaneous generation.
There is tremendous complexity in life.
For example, we have 50 trillion cells in the human body. Carl Sagan said that the simplest cell in the human body, has information equivalent to 100,000,000 pages of Encyclipedia Brittanica, and in this cell everything is independant and co - dependant on everything else.
There is tremendous complexity in all life forms - here is a Sail pad fish or a Sail catfish ( bagre marinus) - if you look on one side you can see the skeleton of the fish, and if you look at the other side you see what looks very much like Our Lord on the Cross - very interesting - I don't think evolution did that!
A Cray computer can do 6 billion calculations/sec, but the Honey Bee can do a trillion calculations/sec in order to fly - that means the honey bee is 166 times faster than the Cray computer - and the honey bee can heal itself .
But, the conclusion of the evolutionists is that the computer, of course is designed, but the honey bee evolved!
______________________________________
People ask why the stars are so far away?
Very simple - God put the stars far away!
That doesn't prove evolution at all.
People talk about alien life forms or extra- terrestrial life.
Conditions outside the earth are far more destructive than anyone imagined before space exploration began - Deadly Radiation, Poisonous Gases, Extreme Gravitational Forces, Gigantic Explosions, and the absence of proper atmosphere and specific chemical elements.
Just the temperature extremes in outer space would make almost any kind of life either so hot it would vaporize or so cold that it would be completely rigid and brittle and dead.
Besides, many of these supposed space alien civilizations should have technology at least superior to ours and would have colonized our whole solar system at least with mechanical robots.
They everything started with a BIG BANG 20 billion years ago, but in physics there's a Law called the Conservation of Angular Momentum, which says that if you had the "big bang" that exploded everything, then everything should be travelling in the same direction - but, we have the Sun spinning clockwise and all nine planets spinning anti - clockwise.
We also have 60 moons and 11 of them are spinning backwards.
When we look at the Earth, we find it is 7900 miles from the North Pole to the South Pole; it's the exact right size to accept the exact right amount of energy from the Sun, and it's the exact distance from the sun to give us the perfect temperature.
We could go on to give hundreds of examples how precisely balanced the earth is, and if you were to change these parameters by several percent and some cases even a tenth of a percent, we would either freeze to death or roast to death.
So, basically, the question arises.
Is the solar system and the Earth very young?
And the evolution debate can be settled very quickly if you can prove the earth is young
As the Sun burns, it is losing 5 million tons/sec, which means it's shrinking, which means it used to be heavier, which means its gravity was stronger, so even 20 or 30 million years ago, the Sun would be so big it would touch the Earth.
Comets should only last 10 - 15 thousand years before they are blown apart by the solar winds.
Calendars only go back to the year 4000 B.C.
How come they don't go back further than that?
The population growth curve looks like it started about 4500 years ago - well, there was a flood about 4400 years ago, and only 8 people got off the Ark.
Another question: How many billions of people should we have now? So, where are all the people or at least where are all the bones?
The rings orbiting Saturn, are bombarded by comets and should have been pulverised and dispersed in only 10,000 years.
Scientists admit the oldest known living trees are the Bristle Cone Pines of California - Nevada, which are 4300 years old.
How come we don't have an older tree?
We have the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and after watching it for 20 years, they took a growth rate average and found the reef was 4200 years old.
How come we don't have a reef that's older than that?
When they drill down into the ground they often hit oil and this is under tremendous pressure, sometimes as high as 20,000 lbs/sq inch - and scientists say the pressure should have leaked off in about 10 - 15,000 years.
Why is it still under pressure if the earth is so old?
Outer space is full of dust, and when the astronauts went to the Moon [ see Moon Landing Hoax on MHFM, since this article was written] and landed on the Moon they expected about 182 feet of dust on the Moon, instead they found not even one inch of dust on the surface of the Moon.
The Moon is also getting further and further away from the Earth, which means it used to be closer - there is the Inverse Square Law, that says if you half the distance, you quadruple the attraction - so even a couple of million years ago the Moon would be so close to the earth, it would flood the Earth twice a day.
The Earth's magnetic field cannot be any older than 10,000 years otherwise it would be too strong for life to be comfortable on Earth.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics - it's called the Law of Entrophy - says anyting left to itself gets worse.
They say Dinosaurs were around millions of years ago, but they have found DNA and blood cells from dinosaurs; blood cells can only last for thousands of years, not millions of years.
Job 40 :15 God said, " Behold Behemoth ... he has a tail like a Cedar."
I think that might mean it was a dinosaur.
In New Zealand, there's a place called the Chatham Rise - Japanese come down there to fish often - they pulled up this 4000lb, 32 foot skeleton of a dinosaur.
Basically, lizards never stop growing - if you put them in an environment with a water canopy,a lot of oxygen, 800 - 900 years to live, a perfect food supply with no enemies, you've got yourself a dinosaur.
In fact, before 1841, dinosaurs were called dragons, and the word 'dinosaur' means a 'terrible lizard'.
_________________________________
People ask "Is there any evidence of a World - Wide Flood and what caused it?"
So basically, what I think happened, was that a large planet or comet came close to the Earth and put pressure on the crust of the Earth, causing it to crack like the seam of a baseball - called the mid- oceanic ridge, which wraps around the Earth - and the subterranean waters exploded violently from this crack [ ref. Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory. http://www.creationscience.com/eationscience.com/ ]
These subterranean waters caused most of the fossil records.
They talk about the Geologic Column - how that proves evolution - the textbooks have the Cenozoic, the Mesozoic and the Paleozoic - all these different layers they say are millions of years old.
Well, if you get a jar full of dirt, shake it up, it will settle into layers for you - it's called hydrolytic sorting, and we have found as well as other people have seen trees in sediments going through all these different sediments that are said to be millions of years old.
And so, there are only two explanations for this: (1) either the trees grew in the sediment or (2) the sediment came down on top of the trees, and also many of these trees are upside down. I believe these layers have been caused by the World - Wide Flood.
The Grand Canyon, they say has been gradually eroded by the action of the Colorado River - if that's true then there should be 1000 cubic miles of sediment at the mouth of the river. There is nothing of that sort!
After the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, 600 feet of strata were deposited and in one day, it formed a canyon system,1/40 the scale of the Grand Canyon.
So these things were formed very rapidly and not over a long period of time.
Interviewer: "So Gradualism is blown away by what happened on Mt. St. Helens. "
Brother Michael ( continuing) : Exactly.
Evolutionists date layers of rock by the fossils they contain, and then they date the fossils by the layers of rock they are in - this is called 'circular reasoning'.
Fossils don't simply form when plant and animals die and rot - to be fossilized a plant or animal must usually have hard parts, such as bone, shell or wood. It must be quickly buried to prevent decay, and must be undisturbed throughout the long process." ( Fossils, NY Golden Press, 1962, P.10).
And the fossil evidence for a world - wide catastrophic flood is everywhere.
Fish have been found by the billions with their fins extended and eyes bulging; they have found mammoths with the last meal perfectly preserved in their stomachs, and that kind of food isn't found in that area today; they have found whales that are buried straight up and down; fish fossilized giving birth to their babies; clams that have petrified and closed - when a clam dies it opens up.
The Bible says that all the mountains tops during the flood were submerged under water - and when New Zealander, Edmund Hillary in 1950, climbed Mt. Everest and reached the 26,000ft level, for the next 3000ft he found sea shells and clams all over the place. So how do you get sea shells on every major mountain range - only if a world wide flood really happened.
Some people believe Noe's Ark is on the top of Mt. Ararat in Turkey. What's interesting is that on Mt. Ararat itself, they found pillar larva which is a unique formation which only forms when molten larva emerges from the earth below water; there are also salt crystals on Mt. Ararat, which could only be formed under water.
Is there any written evidence for a world wide flood?
Well, the flood account is found on Babylonian, Arcadian and Sumerian cuneiform tablets and these all date back to about 700 B.C.
In fact a study of universal flood traditions reveals that there are over 200 accounts of the flood in almost every culture and civilization around the world, including the Inca and the Aztec cultures.
They've gone back to many of theses ancient civilizations and found out that they were very advanced having such things like natural ventillation and air conditioning - you could go back to Egypt and find out that they knew how to make batteries and generate electricity - they found electroplated artifacts.
Concerning the size of the Ark - they had a model of the ark tested in a marine laboratory, and duplicated 200 foot tidal waves - they found the ark was not only seaworthy, but extraordinarily stable. During World War II, the USS New Mexico and Oregon were built on the same proportions as Noe's ark, six times longer than it is wide.
The question has ben asked, "How could you get all the animals onto the ark?"
First of all, you take the very smallest animal.
Dr. Kenneth Ebel, Professor of Biology, said, " Each family of creatures on earth have a single pair of ancestors. There are over 300 varieties of dogs in the world today, but they all have a single common ancestor. There would have been ample room to load all the species we know of today, with room left over for Noe's family, food and supplies - and due to the darkness, the animals would probably have eaten less and slept more - in a state of hibernation."
Many hundreds of people have claimed to have seen Noe's ark on top of Mt. Ararat - one was Fernane Navarra, a French demolition expert - he brought back wood he claimed was from Mt. Ararat.
The interesting thing, is that Mt. Ararat is a totally treeless volcanic peak, and the wood they brought back doesn't even grow on Mt. Ararat - in fact there is not forest within 300 miles of the mountain.
Jim Irwin,was a former astronaut, and he took a very interesting picture when he was travelling with a Dutch T.V. crew - this amazing photograph shows what they believe to be Noe's ark.
A French spotter satellite identified a 200 foot piece of wooden object 86 feet wide extending over a crevasse all under 60 feet of ice and snow. So how come somebody doesn't just go up on Mt Ararat and get the ark?
Well, the problem is climbers claim the mountain is one of the hardest mountains to climb, maybe the hardest; the ark is covered with ice and snow, so you could walk right on top of it and not know it was there.
When the Turkish Government grants research permits, it is for the South Side of Mt. Ararat.
The ark is believed to be on the North Side, and people caught on the North Side are usually arrested.
The mountain is also too high and treacherous to land a helicopter expedition, and in the ongoing battle between Turkish soldiers and terrorists over 6000 people have been killed on the slopes of Mt. Ararat during the 1990's.
Many Bible stories are proving themselves to be true. The walls of Jericho fell literally straight down - they have examined these walls and the walls were not pushed in, but they fell straight down as if the earth had opened up beneath them, and they literally dropped.
Sodom and Gomorrah, destroyed by God for homosexuality and other sins of the flesh - these are pictures showing where Sodom and Gomorrah used to be located - they look like cities and they found substance burnt with sulphur or brimstone, and have a remaining ash that is heavier than the initial unburnt substance - that is why, perhaps, these cities have been able to remain for almost 3900 years.
They found these cities have been burnt at 4000 - 5000 deg.
The Bible said it rained fire and brimstone upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah -
You can go over there and see millions of chunks of little balls of sulphur all over the place.
The definition of 'brimstone' in the dictionary is sulphur.
God asked for the circumcision in Genesis 17: 10-12, on the eighth day, not the fourth day or the third day.
They have only recently discovered that vitamin K which clots the blood, is at its peak on the eighth day, and so it would be the safest time to perform that operation.
In 1947, in a cave on a cliff on the west side of the Dead Sea, they found several large jars containing leather scrolls - these were The Dead Sea Scrolls - they've been sealed and preserved for over 1900 years. Coins were found inside the jars, and paleographers date the scrolls at 125 B.C..
Until that time, the earliest biblical manuscripts were about 900 A.D. The Isaias scroll dated at about 125 B.C. and matched precisely with the Text dated in 916 A.D. - that's a thousand years of copy after copy, translation after translation with complete accuracy.
This proves that the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus were written before He came to earth and not after - and Isaias and the rest of the Old Testament have a lot to say about the Messiah - that he would be born of a virgin, that he would be born in Bethlehem and that he would be a man of sorrows.
And there are many other predictions of the Second Coming of Christ.
Jesus says in Matthew 24:20, that if He didn't shorten those days, no human flesh would be saved - how could that be possible 200 years ago - it wouldn't.
Maybe the reason you have pictures like this - a color picture of a French Nuclear Test in 1969 - you can see Our Lord on the Cross and our Blessed Mother next to Him in white, as Our Lady of Grace.
The Holy House of Loreto is believed to be the house where the Holy Family lived.
It was originally in Nazareth and was actually picked up and moved to eastern Yugoslavia and from there it went to Italy, where it is today - they have found these places in Nazareth and Yugoslavia and checked out the area of the foundations, and it is exactly the same as the Holy House of Loret, Italy.
You can go to Loreto, Italy, and visit the Holy House, and you will find the house still does not rest on a foundation up until this day.
This is a St. Joseph Staircase - In New Mexico, there were Sisters who needed a staircase built from the choir loft that went basically straight up and down - they asked carpenters to help them, but no one could.
They put it in the hands of St. Joseph, and made a Novena to St. Joseph - on the last day of the novena, a man came and said he could help the Sisters with building the staircase.
It consists of exactly 33 steps; there are two complete 360 deg turns and there is no supporting pole up the centre - this means that it hangs there with no support - the entire weight is on the base.
Some architecs have said, by all the laws of gravity it should have crashe d to the floor the minute anyone stepped on it - yet it has been used for 100 years.
It rests against the loft at the top and the floor at the bottom, where the entire weight appears to be supported.
Wooden pegs rather than nails are used throughout, and the railing was not part of the original construction, but added two years later.
There are no nails or screws in any part of it, nor are there steel plates or angle irons, only wood and wooden pegs throughout.
Furthermore, the wood appears to be of a hard variety and according to some wood authorities is not a native wood of Mexico, and where it was obtained is still a mystery.
On December 9th , 1531, there was a Mexican peasant named Juan Diego, travelling to go to church - the Blessed Mother appeared to him and told him she wanted a chapel built where she was appearing, and that he should go to the Bishop and give him this message.
So, he went and told the Bishop, who asked Juan Diego to tell the lady to give him a sign so that he would know it was from God.
He went back and told Our Blessed Mother that the Bishop wanted a sign - the Blessed Mother told him to gather up some roses and put them in his cloak or tilma and present them to the Bishop.
Since it was winter time, that made it another miracle.
He picked the roses and put them in his tilma and took them back and presented them to the Bishop and the image of Guadalupe appeared on his tilma.
The image has been subject to rains, floods, earthquakes, and in 1921 someone place a bomb underneath it which exploded, but the image remained intact.
The tilma is made of a vegetable substance which normally deteriorates after fifty years - it should have rotted centuries ago.
The material used to produce the colors are unknown to science, and there is no undersketching on the painting, no sizing - and without sizing, it is humanly impossible to paint on its rough surface.
There is no protective overvarnish, and without protective varnishing the picture should have been ruined long ago by prolonged exposure to candle smoke and other pollutants.
There is no fading or cracking - incredible when you consider it's been there for almost 475 years.
The balanced placement of the stars is not an accident - at least not according to astronomers - the stars correspond to 46 stars and 14 constellations as they are in the morning of December 12th, the day on which Our Blessed Mother imprinted her image on the tilma.
In recent years the eyes have been the subject of considerable scientific research.
By the use of computer technology and amplifying the eyes up to 25oo times the normal 7 - 8 mm size, researchers have found what they believe to be the portrait of Juan Diego in the right eye.
Just between 1532 and 1548, you had 9 million converting to the Catholic faith in Mexico - so we lost 5 million due to the Reformation in Europe, but we almost doubled that amount in Mexico.
Twenty million come from all over the world to see the image of Guadalupe.
In 1917, Our Blessed Mother appeared to three little children, Lucia de Santo, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. in Fatima, Portugal.
She asked the people to pray the Rosary and she showed the children a vision of Hell.
The children wanted a miracle performed by the Blessed Mother, so that people would believe she was appearing, so the Blessed Mother said she would work a miracle and it would be on October 13th,1917 at noon.
It was the first time since the Resurrection that a miracle has been perdicted to take place at a certain time and place - so the people came on October, 13th, some 75,000 to 100,000 persons - up to their ankles in mud; atheists, masons, sceptics were there to mock the miracle when they thought it would not happen.
The Sun started to make movements outside the laws of nature as it started to spin on its side for about 12 minutes. Then it started to plunge towards the earth - everyone thought it was the end of the world - and when it was about to hit the earth it went back to its normal position in the sky.
The sick were cured during this miracle - and there was a second miracle for the ground and all the clothes were found to be dry.
One Engineer took a look and said, " the amount of energy you would need to dry all the clothes and the ground would be the equivalent of a ten megaton bomb - if that happened all the people would be burnt to death."
Our Blessed Mother at Fatima predicted that Russia would spread her errors throughout the whole world. She mentioned another "worse war" would begin in the reign of Pope Pius XI - and Pope Pius XI wasn't even pope at that time!
She mentioned you would know God was about to punish the world when you saw a night illumined by an unknown light - and that great light was seen on January 25th, 1938. It illuminated the skies of Europe - it was a red glow that was seen for about five hours all over Europe - so much so that people in Switzerland could read their newspapers at 11pm at night.
The only way man can reproduce that kind of phenomena is by an atomic explosion - basically, when that night illuminated by a strange unknown light happened, it was 47 days after that Hitler invaded Austria.
Our Lady said she would try to prevent these punishments if Lucy would ask for the Pope with all the bishops to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart.
She asked for the Third Secret to be released by 1960 - that has not happened. [ see later article by MHFM concerning consecration done by Pope Pius XII in 1952 ]
She asked for the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturday of each month.
Little seer Jacinta, after she died - her body was exhumed and found to be still intact, perfectly incorrupt.
There have been many hundreds of bodies that have remained perfectly incorrupt - one such is Catherine Labore - she saw Our Blessed Mother who gave her the medal Catholics wear called the Miraculous Medal - thousands of miracles have been attributed to the medal.
St. Catherine Labore died in 1876 and her body is perfectly incorrupt.
St. Bernadette Soubirous saw the Blessed Mother in Lourdes, France, where millions come each year to pray - countless miracles have occurred - she died in 1879 and her body remains perfectly incorrupt.
Not only bodies, but also scapulars have remained intact.
St. Alphonsus died in 1787 and his body turned to dust, but his brown scapular remained perfectly intact - examination proved it had no special treatment [ the brown scapular was given by the Blessed Mother to St. Simon Stock in 1251, and thousands of miracles have been attributed to it.]
There are over 16,000 canonized saints in the Catholic Church, and for each person that becomes a saint, they need at least three verifiable miracles by doctors and people, who must verify under oath their authenticity - demonstrating that the Catholic Church is very careful before declaring someone a saint.
And the Catholic Church is the only Church with an uninterrupted history of miracles from the beginning of human history.
St. Vincent Ferrer converted almost 200,000 people to the Catholic Faith, and raised 30 people from the dead; he worked more than 40,000 miracles during his life and when he was canonized almost a thousand miracles were used in his canonization.
Padre Pio was another mystic of our times - he died in 1968 - he had the stigmata visibly for over fifty years. He had many gifts - he could tell you when you went to confession last, your whole life, your sins - he was seen throughout the world.
He has worked thousands of miracles which already fill 54 volumes; since his death he has continued to work miracles.
One of the most interesting miracles during his life was of a woman named Gemma de Giorgi, who was from Italy, and is now about 40 years old ( about 1998 when this was recorded).
Gemma was born without pupils and still has no pupils, but after her Grandmother took her to see Padre Pio; she asked for a cure - he blessed her and now she can see, even though she still has no pupils - which is anatomically impossible to see without pupils.
We also have exorcisms on audio tapes - and if people don't believe in the Devil they should get some of our exorcism tapes - not only do they prove the existence of the devil, they also show the power of a traditional Catholic bishop over the power of the devil and also how powerful devotion to the Mother of God is, and how much the Devil hates the Rosary.
There have been many Eucharistic Miracles - non - Catholics do not believe that at the words of Consecration by a Catholic Priest, the bread and wine change into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. There have been many hundreds of Eucharistic miracles throughout the last 2000 years to verify this Catholic belief.
This is very essential, because Our Lord says in John 6:53, "Amen, amen, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his Blood you cannot have everlasting life in you."
In Lanciano, in 700 A.D. there was a priest who doubted whether he was really consecrating bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ - at the moment of Consecration, the bread changed into the actual visible Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ.
Scientists tested this flesh and found it to be human flesh - the blood was human blood of the type AB.
If you were to cut yourself and bleed, within 15 minutes you lose all the chemical properties of blood - if you give blood and it is not refrigerated that blood would begin to break down in one hour.
They took a particle of the petrified blood and liquified it and found it had all the proteins and chemicals of fresh blood, 1300 years old!
When they tested a slice of the heart, rigor mortis had not set in, and it was determined the slice of the heart was from a living heart!
Another miracle was in Siena, in 1730 - thieves broke into the Church and stole a ciborium filled with 351 hosts; they left the ciborium with the hosts down the road somewhere - they still have these hosts, which have not decomposed after nearly 300 years!
In Cascia around 1300A.D. there was a farmer who needed the last sacraments and he called for a priest who went out on a sick call, but instead of putting the host in a pyx he placed it between two pages of his breviary.
When he prepared the man to receive Holy Communion he opened the book and found a blood stain where the host had been. This was a miracle in itself and you can go to the Church and see the page of the book with the blood stain; if you look inside the blood stain you can see the profile of Jesus, his hair his eyes his nose and his beard.
The Shroud of Turin is claimed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ - people have been trying to say it is just a medieval fraud.
It is well documented that the shroud existed before the Middle Ages and here is a brief history of its existence:
The Shroud was carried from the tomb of Jesus by St. Peter and taken to Edessa, Turkey. It was then lost and wasn't rediscovered until the year 944 A.D. when a Byzantine emperor sent an army to bring it to Constantinople.
In 1204 the European Knights of the Fourth Crusade sacked Constantinople and took it back to France where Margaret De Charne transferred it to the Savoy family.
In 1532 a fire in the Savoy Cathedral in Chambery, France damaged the shroud.
In 1578 the Savoys established their capital in Turin, Italy and took the shroud with them where it remains today.
In spite of the overwhelming evidence there are only two points the scoffers try to bring up to discredit the Shroud of Turin. One is the carbon testing done in 1988 and the second is a reputed letter from a Bishop Darcy, which said the bishop wrote this letter that he knew who forged the shroud, and that he knew the artist.
That doesn't prove it is a fraud.
None of the copies of the letter are signed or dated. there is no proof the pope ever saw it, or that it was delivered to him.
Pope Clement VII allowed the shroud to be exposed to the public during this whole time. There is no evidence it is in the handwriting of the bishop it is claimed to have been written. It is simply estimated that it is from 1389. The artist who forged it is not named and there is no transcript of any official investigation.
The first photographs of the Shroud were taken by Secunda Pio in 1898 - he was shocked to find that the negative image was a positive image - and Barry Schwatz, who is Jewish, a shroud documentary photographer, said, "Assuming that the Shroud was manufactured in the 14th century, it would mean that someone would have to have conceived of photography approximatelt 650 years before it was invented. I don't think so."
Some of the scourge marks on the shroud appear only under ultra violet light, which means the "forger" would have had to paint the marks so that they would be invisible to the naked eye, and then discern that ultra violet light would be invented some 650 years later - impossible!
There is not a trace of paint pigment on the shroud; there are no brushstrokes; the images on the shroud are directionless, and therefore could not be painted , at least not by human hand.
Kevin Moran, Optical Engineer. "The shroud image is made from tiny fibres that are 1/10 the size of a human hair. The picture elements are actually randomly distributed like the dots in your newspaper photograph or magazine photograph - to do this you would need an incredibly accurate atomic laser. This technology does not exist."
Also, if someone was to paint the shroud, they would have to have a twenty foot brush, because the image isn't even discernible much closer than that.
They also found blood on the Shroud of Turin.
According to Dr.John Heller and blood specialist, Dr. Allen Adler, they found not only blood on the shroud, but blood highly loaded with bilirubin, a bile pigment that would only show up if the dead man had been severely and traumatically beaten.
Pathologist, Pierre Ballon, came to the same conclusion, and also found that the blood on the shroud was human blood and of the type AB.
They did thirteen tests that confirmed that there was blood on the shroud.
The image on the shroud is negative, but the blood marks are positive. Also the blood marks on the shroud have remained red, and why they haven't been darkened by time and oxidation is unexplainable.
At the back of the toes on the shroud there is an original bleeding when the man was alive, and then in the tomb there was a second bleeding - so we have two blood flows - this impossible for someone to forge.
In fact, the experts were shocked by the way the blood evidence was transferred to the shroud - it was done perfectly without one smear, which practically humanly speaking is impossible.
Dr. Max Frei, was a Swiss criminologist - he was one of the leading experts in dust and pollen analysis in the whole world - he single -handedly developed a technique to determine where criminals had been by testing samples of dust and pollen from their clothing - he was consulted on many crimes by police forces of many nations.
Dr. Frei's objective was very simple. If the shrould was forged in France in the 14th century, then only the French or Italian pollens would be found in the cloth - but his exhaustive analysis found some fifty eight specific pollens, and only seventeen were native to Europe, the rest were from Palestine, and Southern Turkey, the site of Odessa in Constantinople - and so this meant that the shroud had been in these places at some time in its history.
In fact , thirteen of the pollens come exclusively from Palestine and are growing in Israel today.
Professor Raes, found in the shroud linen, microscopic bits of cotton under the microscope - not just plain cotton, but cotton with a certain number of twists per centimeter.
We have to realize that cotton has a different number of twists depending on which country it is from - cotton grown in the western part of the world has 20 - 25 twists per centimeter, while cotton grown in the Middle East has 8 - 10 twists per centimeter. The cotton found in the shroud has around 8 twists per centimeter.
Cotton was not commonly grown in Europe at that time ( 1260 - 1390), some claim the shroud was manufactured.
They also found on the shroud many accurate images of many flowers, and twenty eight specific flowers to a good degree of accuracy - they all grow within Jerusalem or within 12 miles of Jerusalem.
Whoever produced the image on the shroud also produced the high energy field producing many images of every object that was in the shroud and hence we have a highly accurate image of these flowers.
They also found dust on the footprint of the cloth, and this dirt is found to have come from Jerusalem's Damascus Gate and nowhere else.
They also found 3 dimensional information in the shroud of Turin - this is incredible because we know that a painting has only two dimensional information, height and width, but the shroud has been found to have 3 - D information!
They put the shroud under a special machine, called the VP8 Image Analyzer, which found the shroud has 3 - D information, which an artist could not have put there.
It is also a Jewish custom when people die , to put coins over the eyes when laying the corpse out for burial, and in tests they did, it looks like there is a coin over the right eye.
This coin has 24 coincidences with the Lepton which was put out by Pontius Pilot between 29 A.D. and 36 A.D.
You can see the staff and the letters U,K,A,I - if you look at the shroud under high magnification you can see the staff and the letters U, C, A, I .
Fr. Philas, was shocked to see this, but wondered why there was a C instead of K.
In 1981, at the British Museum, he found two coins that had a C instead of a K - so this would throw forging out of the question.
Fr. Francis Philas said " Even the wildest imagination cannot justify any claim that th tiny letters 1/32 inch high could have been painted on the cloth."
Other features have proved the authenticity of the shroud - the locks of hair on the side of the face is a Jewish custom; the body on the shroud isn't even straight; the abdomen appears swollen, showing the cause of death was suffocation; the legs on the shroud are not broken, and the Romans who crucified their victims, always broke the legs of the crucified - this goes back to Exodus 12:46, where it says that they would not break a bone in His body.
Looking at the blood flows: when someone is crucified, the hands fall to an angle of 25/65 deg, and so the blood flows in a certain way - the blood flows on the shroud show it was from a man who was crucified.
In studying photos of the shroud caused Dr. Pierre Barbae, Chief Surgeon of St. Joseph's Hospital in France to say, "If this the work of forger, then the forger would have had to have been a trained anatomist, for there is not a single blunder."
When a nail pierces the median nerve in the wrist, the thumb goes automatically into the palm as shown on the shroud.
This would not invalidate the prophecy, " They have pierced my hands and my feet..." because anatomists in all countries and throughout history have understood the hand to consist of the wrist, palm and fingers.
This is a picture of a Roman scourging device called the Flagrum - it consists of a handle onto which are attached three leather straps, and on each of these straps is a dumbell shaped metal object, which was used by the Romans as a means of punishment by beating the body.
The dumbell shapeded objects fit perfectly into the wounds on the shroud, and one author estimated there were 120 scourge wounds on the Shroud of Turin, and Jewish law limited the number of lashes to forty - forty times three is 120.
The wound in the side of the shroud measures 1 3/4 inches bt 7/16 inches, which exactly corresponds to the size of the Roman spear called the lamaea, also known as the spear of Longinus, and is kept in the Hapsburg Treasure House in Austria.
Legend has it that this is the spear that pierced the side of Jesus, and was owned by Longinus, a Roman soldier assigned to duty at the Crucifixion site by Pontius Pilot.
Hitler believed this legend, and he visited the Treasure House when he was 19 years old, and when he invaded Austria, at the beginning of World War II, he took the spear because he believed he had to have the spear to go out and conquer the world.
On the shroud, the buttocks is rigid with rigour mortis, and some scientists say that the person has been dead not more than 40 hours.
Forensic Scientist, Dr.Robert Buklin, from Los Angeles County says, "The evidence of a scourged man who was crucified and died of suffocation is clear cut - the markings on his body are so clear and so medically accurate, that they are, in my opinion, beyond dispute."
Why would anyone keep this gruesome relic, unless it was the true burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
The Shroud advocates suffered a severe setback when the carbon 14 dates came back in 1988, when it said the shroud was from 1260 - 1390.
However, C-14 is far from an exact science -in fact, freshly killed mollusks show that they have been dead for 3000 years, using this method of dating.
Bristlecone Pines, the oldest trees on earth, date too young by 2 - 3000 years.
Evolutionist, William Stansfield, said that "there is no reliable long term radiological clock."
Carbon 14 is based on a number of assumptions such as : The rate of decay has always been the same throughout history; The amount of Carbon 14 in the atmosphere has always been the same: it is also based on the assumption that the geologic column is correct - and we have proved that that is not correct.
Three labs were selected to perform the Shroud Carbon 14 tests. They were given three linen samples of a known age to test the accuracy of their lab testing.
One sample was from 3000B.C., and when the tests came back the labs were off by 1100 years .
The testers defended these errors as being caused by contamination to the samples, but in subsequent retesting the sample was still 1100 years off!
There are too many variables that can affect test results, and besides the Shroud sample takers violated fourteen scientific protocols to ensure test accuracy,and also carried out their tests by consulting one another.
Secretary of State Cardinal Casaroli ( rumored to be a Freemason) gave supervision of the Carbon 14 tests to research director of the British Museum, Dr. Michael Tite. It is strange that that Casaroli would give the supervising of the reputed burial cloth of Jesus Christ to his declared enemies!
Dr. Tite wrote a letter to Jacques Evin, Director of the Radiocarbon Laboratory of the University of Lyon in January, 1988 and he asked for a cloth similar to the Holy Shroud in every detail.
Evin searched and found a cloth similar to the Shroudof Turin.
Dr. Tite denied writing this letter until his letter was published - then he admitted it!
When they did the test, they cut off a little piece of the Shroud of Turin, in front of video cameras on April 21, 1988.
The three men involved, Dr. Michael Tite, Cardinal Ballestrero, (who before the C-14 tests, said he did not believe the shroud was authentic), and Professor Luigi Gonella, (science advisor to the Archbishop), went to a separate room where there were no video cameras, and what these three men did while they were in that room was never discussed by them.
It becomes apparent, during that 30 minutes, while they were in that room , there was a substitute of cloths.
The size of the cloth tested was not the same as the piece cut from the Shroud. For some reason, the Touson lab received two samples - at first they denied this, but later admitted it.
We are unable to get the original samples because in C 14 testing the samples are destroyed.
The Chief Tester at Zurich, Dr. Wolifi, believed before the tests ,the shroud was a fake.
So most of the people involved, doubted the authenticity of the Shroud - so it looks like they had a biased agenda.
When the supposed results came back from the lab, it showed 1260 - 1390!
Professor Ed T. Hall, and Dr. Tite held their own press conference, and you can see written on the blackboard the figures "1260 - 1390!"
The London Daily Telegraph of March 26, 1989 said. " On Good Friday, March 25, 1989, forty five business men and rich friends presented to Professor Ed T. Hall of Oxford, one million pounds for his services in having determined the Shroud of Turin was a medieval fake. Hall said he was using the funds to create a new chair of archaeology science at Oxford to be filled with Dr. Michael Tite."
So, Dr. Hall assisted Dr. Michael Tite in the crime by providing him with a chair at Oxford as a reward for his work in defrauding the people of the world of the greatest religious relic of all time!
So, if the shroud is reproduceable, why doesn't someone reproduce it? No one can!
The Shroud shows very clearly that Jesus Christ lived, Jesus Christ died, and Jesus Christ rose again.

I have shown on this video that not only God exists, but the Catholic faith is the True Faith. If you don't embrace the Catholic faith - speaking as a convert to the Catholic faith - you will be lost for all eternity.
If you are a Catholic, it is imperative that you attend a Latin Tridentine Mass, pray the Rosary, wear the brown scapular, stay in the state of grace and fulfill your station in life.
______________________________ The
evidence is before you - miracles, and the early church fathers
believed in all the Catholic teachings - that is what the true faith was
and still is today.
The Catholic Church decided what books were to be in the Bible - the Catholic Church has said what is sin and what is not and what things we have to believe in to be saved from Hell.
If you go to a non - Catholic church and ask them," what must I believe?" They will point to the Bible.
The problem is which passages do I take literally? Basically, if the Holy Ghost leads all people to interpret the Bible, how come we have tens of thousands of Protestant churches, all believing different things about the Bible?
None of them claim to be infallible, so who settles the dispute or has handed down a decision?
Just believe in Jesus and you will be saved!
Well, Matthew 9:21, says, "not all that say Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven. He that does the will of My father,he shall enter the kingdom of Heaven."
No, we don't believe in Jesus, unless we accept and follow all that he has commanded.
The theory that "once saved, always saved," and "you will never lose your salvation," - that isn't even Biblical!
St.Paul says, in Phillipians 2:13, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling."
He says in 1 Corinthians 9:7," When I am preaching to the faithful, I fear that I, myself may become a castaway." He talks about salvation, as "running a race to the end."
If where you are going to spend eternity doesn't concern you or doesn't interest you, isn't high on your list of your priorities, well, then, you are definitely going to go into the fires of Hell, and once you arrive there, there is no escape.
Your eternity is fixed. And you will burn, weep and suffer and be tortured by demons for all eternity.
God doesn't want that - he says in Timothy 2:4, "He wishes for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth."
What you have heard on this tape is the TRUTH!
If people think that what I am saying is very foolish, then you can always say to them, "What are you going to be doing in 200 years from now?
We will all be dead and forgotten, and everyone you knew on earth will be dead and forgotten, and your body will be six feet under the earth, and your soul will be in Purgatory, in Heaven or burning in the fires of Hell for all eternity.
This is reality.
Our Lord says, in Matthew 16:26," What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul - Matthew 6:33," Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and His justice, and all things will be added unto you."
Genesis 3:19, "Remember that you are dust and unto dust thou shalt return. Eccles 7:40. "Remember your last end, and you will never sin."
Basically, which way you look at it, your time is running out - No one can promise you another year, another month, another week or hour or even another breath.
So if you don't want to spend eternity burning in the fires of Hell, embrace the Catholic faith, keep the faith and may you hold it until your dying beath!
