Catholic Answers to Homosexuality and Pedophilia

I wrote the below item as a letter to either "Catholic Answers," or "Ave Maria Radio." I drive home from work at about 5:30 PM, and I usually listen in. This is an attempt at a response to them:
_______________________

I listen in to 740 AM in Cincinnati. I don't remember the name of the radio show, but there are people who call in and one of you tries to answer. Of course, your show is not a discussion. You tell them what "is."

I take issue with a couple of things I have heard.

For one, I forget the term you used, but the closest thing I can come to it is "knowledgable." I am a "knowledgable" former Catholic, which makes me a "reprobate" Catholic. I was a strict Catholic for 35 years. I married in a Methodist church at the age of 35. I heard you speak to at least two Catholics, answering them about whether a protestant can be saved. You said "yes," as long as the person does not know the truth of the Catholic Church. You said if the person is knowledgable of the Catholic church, and that the person has heard that the Catholic Church is the only true way, and the person remains protestant, then that person will not be saved, even if that person accepted Jesus as his personal Savior.

I take GREAT issue with you, and also the Catholic Church. If you don't mind reading further, whether you think I am a "heretic" or not, please read. This is the only way I have of speaking with you. I am not angry (I am passionate about this), but I have some insights you have never heard before, plus my own personal story (I'll be brief, don't worry).

The Roman Catholic Church cannot any longer tell US its dogma and tenets when it breathes the sin and cult of homosexuality and pedophilia in "the Church." How can I say this? You better hang on to your seat; I am about to tell you the truth. Again, no anger, just the truth. Hear me out. I listen to you guys without saying a word (of course, you are on radio).

The Roman Catholic Church is NOT the same Church as the Church of Paul, or Peter, or Timothy, or even Jesus. Why do I say that?

I am not referring to the daily healings and miracles of that "day." I am referring to the years and years of "the Church" HIDING the very active "lifestyle" of homosexuals AND pedophiles IN the Church.

For years, and possibly generations, the Catholic Church has hidden the sin and debauchery of homosexuality and pedophilia. The Church has simply moved these many priests "around" to "hide" them, permitting these priests to go about their "duties."

As for myself, as a Catholic, I was never TOUCHED by any priest or brother. When I was about 25 years old, a Franciscan brother and I were talking about "things," when I mentioned I had a recent bout with masturbation. He asked if he could see me "do" it as he prayed for me. He wanted to "prey" for me as I did it in front of him. I calmly and carefully refused, and went and told a priest I knew. That brother disappeared. He never touched me, and I never touched him. He only got as far as verbal. That was my ONLY "problem" that I ever had with a priest or brother. As a child, I was an altar boy, and nothing at all ever happened.

Others have not been so lucky. I am slowly getting to "why" the Catholic Church can't tell me (or others) whether they are saved or not. You're not going to like it. But it's true. Just hang on.

Again, the problem I had with that brother was small compared to the onslaught of actual charges of various types of pedophilia and rampant homosexuality in the Church. How often I would read the papers and see another priest charged with another sexual crime. There were true reports coming out about priests being constantly transferred because the priest could not "curb" his appetite. Hmm!

I would tell my wife that there had to be an "underground" of pedophilia and homosexuality right IN the Church. Little did I know...

It finally dawned on me that the Church ITSELF...was harboring, actually permitting... actually "blessing"... this behavior. I determined that the Catholic Church itself... IS a cult of pedophilia and homosexuality! From the "top" down, the Church is involved in it.

At least one priest, Fr. Paul R. Shanley, was not only involved in NAMBLA, he IS a founding "Father" of NAMBLA. Pun intended. I have read his comments and his beliefs. I also can easily "read" the similar comments and beliefs of the Catholic Church, and how the Catholic Church permitted his behavior, even sharing. Let's not be naive about this and why his actions and lifestye was able to flourish. He was involved in trying to change "age-of-consent" laws so he could have sex with babies. I've read the NAMBLA web site. I began investigating it in 1999.

Very specifically, and as politically incorrect as I can get, I was disgusted. Because the Catholic Church had a "lifestyle" of hiding these priests, the Catholic Church approved of NAMBLA! You read right...the Catholic Church approved of NAMBLA by their very act of hiding these priests throughout the "network" of churches and schools throughout this country (and maybe the world). This is where the Catholic Church picks up the designation of "underground," or "cult." It became a "brotherhood" of pedophilia and homosexuality. And you can't guarantee any priest's behavior "now."

This is where the church LOST its ability (by the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit!) to profer dogma, tenets, Ex Cathedra (God help us!!). I know what you're thinking! Do I mean the Pope is in on this? Do you know how many YEARS it took the Pope to say anything at all about this? You don't have a "SEAT" of Peter. If Jesus were here, he would whip at you guys like he did to the money-changers in the synagogue that day, and He would clear you all out! And remember Sodom and Gomorrah, and why THEY were destroyed?!

Because of how long it took the Church to get a "handle" on "this," it is OBVIOUS that the whole Church is in on it. Underground or not, the Church, itself, approved of all behaviors. I can't imagine what happened to the whistle-blowers of the Church. How were THEY disciplined years AGO, and years ON, for trying to get in the way of their ..."fun."

I'm not done yet!! At one time, I wanted to go into the priesthood. There were a few guys I knew who decided (before I did) to go into the seminary. This was about 1974. They went to Duns Scotus (I think it is, or was, a Franciscan seminary). WITHIN THE YEAR they came back with stories of "initiation" rites. There would be a knock on your dorm-room door. You would open it and several seminarians would rush in on you and butt-rape you. They came home. They did not pursue the priesthood anymore. Homosexuality and pedophilia is institutional IN, The Roman Catholic Church.

You can't tell me dogma and tenets, or if I am in sin or not. John wrote the Apocolypse. To one of the churches, he told them He would take away their lampstand (the Holy Spirit). Well, He took away yours. The Roman Catholic Church reminds Him of Sodom and Gommorah. But see, the Church is not a city. It is all over the world, mostly as parishes. How does God deal with a Church's "real estate?" He takes away your lampstand. Jesus does not show up anymore: not in sacraments, not in Holy Orders...mostly because sin is from the top down.

I can't imagine how many parishes have closed because of a lack of support (duh!). I gave a priest my opinion back in the '90's (before I knew about this "problem," concerning "a" reason why the Catholic Church is having to close parishes or combining them. I advised it is (at that time) because of charismatic Catholics joining non-denominational churches. They left the Catholic Church because they needed to be "fed." Half of any non-denominational churchs' members are former Catholics. The Roman Catholic Church is losing its "faithful" to protestant churches. This is true. Of course, he said it was all demographics, that parishoners simply moved out. Yeah. They also "moved on."

If a man is listening to God, he is where the Holy Spirit is. We don't lead...He does.

I promised you my small testimony. You say people like me are not saved, even if I accept Jesus as my Savior. You say it is because I won't accept the truth (of the Church), when I fully know what the the Church teaches, and that, although I know Jesus as my Savior, I do not know Him in the further truth and revelation of the Roman Catholic Church. Again, according to your teachings, I am a "reprobate" Catholic and I cannot be saved.

Before I was saved (and I was a Catholic in this period of my life), I was a United States Marine. A long story short, I was "toe-tagged," and my body put aside to operate on the next Marine. I was pronounced dead. A Navy Commander, the anesthesiologist during my operation, later told me there was no way I should be alive (I obviously, "somehow," "came back"). At the time, I could only talk, and he asked me what I was now going to do with my life. I advised him I was going back to work at a TV station back home. He was furious! He said he never saw anyone survive what I went through. He said I was "called" by God to the ministry. "Sir," I said, "I am a Catholic." The Commander said, "He saw you through this...He can see you through anything."

The Commander was prophetic. My life has been spared at least 5 times that I know of, literally (He told me about one of them, concisely, in 7 words). I have also been healed of things as a Catholic, AND as a "reprobate Catholic." In January 2006, at 58 years old, and not a Catholic for YEARS, I received a phenomenal healing, akin to an arm or leg growing out. He talked to me again during that one. Oh, I'm saved, all right!

I told my wife about another thing. At the non-denominational church I go to, the pastors talk constantly about tithing. They even claim that you can't get healing or ANY favor from the Lord if you don't tithe. We had a visiting evangelist who said, rather arrogantly, that the pastor shouldn't even counsel anyone who DIDN'T tithe.

Do you realize that Jesus only gave. He never once said you must give tithes before you can come to Him for a healing. Anyone he healed, there was no charge. What He did was to obey His Father. His Father wasn't looking for money or gifts. He was looking for obedience (at least from Jesus). When He told Mary Magdalene, "Go and sin no more," you know she had no tithe to give Him. His words freed her, healed her of actual sin.

That is NOT what we see in the Roman Catholic Church. Secular man had to CATCH the Roman Catholic Church in the act. By "in the act," I mean that secular man had to expose what was going on in the Church, not the Church disciplining itself from the very start. The Catholic Church hasn't had a "Paul," or a "Peter," or a "Timothy" in the Church for generations. It shows! Again, you don't have a lampstand, because you don't have the Holy Spirit.

We tithe only some, mostly because of extreme expenses we incur. Our mechanic gets 700 dollars' "tithe" at a time, sometimes twice a year.

But do you realize how many times the Lord has blessed me without tithing? My first-born daughter was an infant and had projectile vomiting. Nothing worked to treat her. She was hot and sick. I was home. I decided to pray for the next 3 hours before my wife got home from work. My wife got home. I told her that we were going in her bedroom and not coming out 'til she was healed. We walked in and started praying, casting out sickness. Within about 15 minutes we saw a little black "cloud" leaving her and going toward the bedroom window. It started back at my daughter. I yelled at it to ..."leave, in the Name of Jesus!" It immediately turned back toward the window and left. My daughter was healed from that moment. Notice, from scripture in the Book of Acts (the 7 sons of Sceva), that whatever it was; it knew the Name of Jesus, it knew Paul, and it knew our names! We weren't running...IT was! We were not Catholic. You can believe what you want, and you will (if you don't, you'll lose your job on the radio). I AM saved! And I have FULL knowledge of the Catholic Church. As you saw with the sons of Sceva, this couldn't have happened without being saved.

All of my kids are saved. And it shows. They are all virgins, and they all know the Lord. They are quite aware of the Catholic Church and other churches. They are "home-schooled" in politics, religion, cults, race, et cetera. We go to tea parties. They understand.

So now, who is reprobate? YOU cannot see the truth. The truth IS Jesus Christ. Jesus even said of the man who was not of their "discipleship," but this man spoke well of the name of Jesus, Jesus said that if he be not against us, he is for us. Listen, the truth is NOT hiding sin. Paul said in one of his epistles (and I paraphrase), I hear among you that a son is sleeping with his mother. I don't recall the place in the New Testament. But, Paul advised STRONGLY, and immediately I might add, that the congregation shun them. The Catholic Church has not led in this discipline at all; rather, law suits have cropped up and brought the Church's involvement in pedophilia and homosexuality to the scrutiny of the whole world, the secular world. Involvement means permitting, hiding, moving priests around so there are even MORE victims.

You don't have a lampstand. You ARE Sodom and Gommorah. When you go to church and look upon the exposed Host (in the Monstrance) on the altar (Jesus is supposed to be present), He is not there. The Roman Catholic Church has not repented. The Church must repent and be healed from the top down. This was caused by the "top." The "top" were in on it.

There has only been somewhat of a "compliance" to the secular world, but NOT repentance to God. And as we have all learned, a pedophile and a homosexual cannot be "rehabbed"... except by the absolute direct intervention of God. On that, I refer you to Dr. James Dobson of "Focus On The Family." "Focus On The Family" has had a guest or two who gave their testimony about being "exorcised" of a homosexual demon. These testimonies are true, and amazing.
