LaVrai – The Truth

Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Every year on December 17 tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the Rincon church to honor ST. Lazaro, a patron Sant of Lepers.

I am very concerned that this whole gay rights thing is going be our undoing. And leave it up to the Vatican to talk sense about the homosexual agenda. Apparently the United Nations is voting on a measure to have homosexuality/sodomy decriminalized worldwide — well, they say it’s a statement of gay rights (but we know how the give-an-inch-take-a-yard move goes). There are many societies, like in the Arab/Muslim world, for example, where homosexuals are killed for practicing this perversion. These societies are oppressive regimes all around — women have little rights, there is no freedom of religion, etc. — so one shouldn’t be so surprised they want to kill anyone who doesn’t line up with their state doctrine.

However, the passage of such a measure would somehow make homosexuality seem legitimate — when it is absolutely not. It would just give more ground to the rebellious to claim all kinds of things — not only about the right to “marry” and that the words of the Holy Bible are discriminatory — but this could turn the whole world upside down. From education to the work place, to perhaps even places of worship — nothing would be off limit. Read the rest of this entry »

“The prayer of a pilgrim soul in the world can help another soul that continues purifying itself after death.”GOD have mercy on us. There are just so many lies the Devil has the world believing and this is perhaps one of the most damaging — that those who die in their sins still have a chance of making it into heaven…if those of us who are living pray for them hard enough. This is nonsense. Where in the Holy Bible do we find any such thing? When did Christ Jesus instruct HIS disciples to pray for the dead (and I’m not talking about praying GOD ALMIGHTY to restore life)?

Excerpt:

On Sunday, November 2, the Pope devoted his audience to the traditional observance of the feast of All Souls, saying that it is important for Christians to face the reality of death, and of our relationship with the dead, and to avoid “being confused with mythologies of various kinds.” [The irony is just too much] Citing St. Augustine, the Pontiff said that all mankind is searching for complete happiness, without knowing exactly what it is like. “It is a universal hope, shared by people of all times and places,” he said. “The expression ‘eternal life’ is an attempt to give a name to this unquenchable hope: not an endless succession, but an immersion in the ocean of infinite love, where time, before and after, exist no more.”

Our “unquenchable hope,” the Pope continued, is founded on Christ, and comes through union with Him. Christians seek that union during this life, and if they are only partially successful, they may complete the search in purgatory. Because our hope is the same, we share their quest and can help them toward their goal. Pope Benedict said: “The prayer of a pilgrim soul in the world can help another soul that continues purifying itself after death. This is why today the Church invites us to pray for our deceased loved ones and to spend time at their tombs in cemeteries.” (Source)

We could fill several volumes of books about sexaul abuse allegations against Catholic priests…along with evidence and believable testimonies, I’m sure.

Here is the latest case of child rape/ abuse at the hands of a Catholic priest — that’s received mainstream media attention, anyway. I am not insinuating that the Catholic church is the only religious institution that suffers these kinds of incidents, but it surely is in the history books on this matter. I don’t know how many other religious organizations have paid off plaintiffs while at the same time denying any crime or sin was committed. Note at the end of this story how vigilante the Vatican is about protecting GOD’s innocents.

This photo from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registration database shows former Chicago Jesuit priest Rev. Donald McGuire, 76.

CHICAGO – Former Roman Catholic priest Donald McGuire was convicted Friday of taking a boy on religious retreats to have sex with him.

The jury deliberated a total of less than three hours Thursday and Friday before convicting the former priest. The federal charge involved taking a minor across state lines for sex.

The trial before U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer lasted 2 1/2 weeks.

McGuire was once widely revered as a leader of spiritual retreats. The Vatican ordered him out of the priesthood earlier this year.

In 2006, McGuire was convicted in Wisconsin of child molestation and sentenced to seven years in prison. He has appealed. McGuire has also been indicted in Arizona. (Source)

It took the Vatic two years to figure out this pervert was a wolf? …And why is he smiling in his mug shot?

Isn’t it a shame — the Catholic Church is notorious as a haven for pedophiles? Historically.

This is ridiculous, but surprising that now Muslims are attempting to show how all-inclusive they are and that they love Jesus, too. I can say with utmost certainty that those who profess Islam as their faith and believe in the so-called prophet mohamed, do not know Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Is this really all it takes? — Just slap “Jesus Christ” on it and that’s good enough for HIS so-called faithful?

Excerpt:

A mosque named after the central figure of Christianity is the latest milestone of interfaith coexistence in Jordan.

Both Muslim and Christian leaders expressed delight when the Jesus Christ Mosque opened a few months ago in the tranquil town of Madaba, 30 km south of the capital, Amman.

‘This is a message to the world that Muslims consider Jesus Christ their own messenger because he informed humanity beforehand that the Prophet Mohamed was coming,’ the mosque’s prayer leader, Belal Hanini, told DPA.

‘It also proves that Islam is a religion of tolerance and has nothing to do with extremism,’ he said.

… Christians make up 10 percent of Madaba’s residents and account for 5 percent of Jordan’s 5.5-million population, they said.

‘We have lived in peace for centuries with our Christian brothers and now we feel that this mosque symbolizes our fraternity,’ Abd Horout, a Muslim lawyer from Madaba said as he finished afternoon prayers.

‘We have been ordered by our holy book, the Koran, not to differentiate between messengers. We consider Jesus Christ a brother of our messenger, the Prophet Mohamed,’ he added.

… Naming an Islamic shrine after Jesus Christ was enthusiastically welcomed by Christian leaders in Jordan, who considered it a new gesture of goodwill from the Muslim majority.

‘As monotheists, we are delighted with this move from our Muslim Brothers towards Jesus Christ and his mother, as we realize that the holy Koran has devoted a specific Surah (chapter) to her,’ Reverend Nabil Haddad from the Greek-Catholic Church said.

Can someone please tell me why the ‘Christians’ in this article are “expressing delight” with the Jesus Christ mosque? And how does naming a place of worship after Jesus Christ prove that your faith is non-violent?
