AUTHORITY

 

We know that in order to live correctly we must be obedient.

A child must obey it's parents, at school; the teacher,

at work; the boss.

We must also obey the laws of the country that we live in.

 

The Holy Family were perfectly obedient and submitted 

to the laws of the land they were living in. 

For example, Joseph, who was born in Bethlehem, had to 

go back there to comply with the census regulations. 

Another example: they also complied with their Jewish 

customs as Jesus was brought to the Temple for the Jewish 

rite of  purification.

 

For Catholics it has become extremely complicated  

to be able to distinguish between what is God's law 

and what is the law that we must obey.

 

Since the 2.nd Vatican Council the doctrine of the 

Church has been more than vague, it is almost wiped 

out, apart from those adhering to Tradition, most Catholics 

think that being kind and helpful to others suffices, and 

since kindness and gentleness is something that hits home 

with the average human being everywhere, and all religions,

the Catholic Church is now in the transition of melting with 

the other religions in order to just have one world religion as

Pope Francis's Encyclical "Fratelli Tutti", which focuses

on worldly fraternity, underlines.

 

Yes, world peace, no more wars, is what we want.

Yes, we must love and respect all people, no matter 

religion and culture. Most of us grown up in 

the West know this, it is at the base of our cultures.

There are a multitude of international structures,

organizations and programs that works with this as

goal, but the problem of man's sinful and corrupted

nature always comes back to put obstacles in the way.

 

But the Catholic Faith is not just yet another program for 

good living and decent human behaviour.

It is much much more;  it is a program for sanctification; 

divinisation, the complete Catholic Doctrinal Faith is 

supernatural in nature.

 

This is why we need dogma and clear and unambiguous 

teaching, not a modified, watered down, vague and blurred 

version which fits in with the worldly trend, deprived of all 

supernatural. 

 

Jesus said: "My kingdom is not of this world." 

John 18:36

 

We live in a state and under a government which deems it

legal and acceptable to kill living babies, because they have 

not yet passed through the birth canal. 

But in the 6th Commandment of the Decalogue, it says the 

premeditated killing of another human being is forbidden.

 

This is just one example of the contradiction between God's

Law and civil law, but there are very many more which are 

irreconcilable, incompatible.

 

We live in the world, but as Catholics we should not live 

according to the world.

 

Catholics are in the fog, everything is blurred, they do no longer 

know how to distinguish and discern between right and wrong, 

they do not know which authority is "right", because often they 

unconsciously believe that elected members and ministers 

of government are automatically right, when they might actually

be on the side of the devil, but since they are conditioned to 

obedience to civil authority, being "good girls and boys", 

since childhood, they feel that they have no choice.

And because their conscience have not been informed and hence 

formed, by the divine teaching of the Catholic Church; the guardian 

of the full deposit of faith, as it is no longer generally taught.

 

God can not be updated, we can not inform God about what things 

are like nowadays, we can not say to Him: "hey God, you must 

understand that today in 2025, things have changed, its not like it 

was before, in your time", because God is outside time;

He Was, Is, and Will Always Be. 

 

"I Am Who I Am"

Exodus 3:14

 

God is Constant, Eternal, unchangeable, He exists in Himself.

He does not operate according to our way of thinking and acting;

 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts"

Isaiah 55:8-9

 

We should not compromise with the world, because it 

leads to the destruction of the Church and the loss of souls. 

It is painful to see how priests are obliged to do so, due to 

their vow of obedience, they have sometimes to comply 

with changes that contradicts the fundamentals, 

the absoluteness of catholic doctrine; for example the 

indissolubility  of marriage, by introducing the possibility 

for annulments.

We only need to read the old testament, long before 

The Incarnation, to see that nothing has really changed, 

the world is as corrupt today as it was 

before, human nature is as bad today as before, the ways 

and manners have changed, but they are external and 

superficial, the human heart has not changed.  

Politics is at work inside the church, the destructive work of 

ecumenism which wastes precious time and deviates the focus.

As Catholics we are not obliged to follow this, and what is more, 

we ought not to do so, since the focus and goal is our own sanctification

and evangelisation of the world, bringing the Word of God to others. 

The very concept that the Catholic Church should approach

the churches that willingly broke away from her, and faiths

that are totally different, like Islam, by pretending that we have

the basics in common, (we believe in one God), is trickery and 

deception, making people believe that the differences between us are 

negligible, it weakens the church and drives people who are not there 

for community activity reasons, away.
