TARGET LIST REVEALED

Despite rumors that there are priests on a target list which is just a sad attempt to create more chaos, I just wanted to reveal the real Target who is at the root of the issues we are facing.
Continue to Pray for our Church and ALL our Priests.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says...

III. OFFENSES AGAINST TRUTH

2475 Christ's disciples have "put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."²⁷⁴ By "putting away falsehood," they are to "put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander."²⁷⁵

2476 False witness and perjury. When it is made publicly, a statement contrary to the truth takes on a particular gravity. In court it becomes false witness.²⁷⁶ When it is under oath, it is perjury. Acts such as these contribute to condemnation of the innocent, exoneration of the guilty, or the increased punishment of the accused.²⁷⁷ They gravely compromise the exercise of justice and the fairness of judicial decisions.

2477 Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to cause them unjust injury.²⁷⁸ He becomes guilty:

- of rash judgment who, even tacitly, assumes as true, without sufficient foundation, the moral fault of a neighbor;

- of detraction who, without objectively valid reason, discloses another's faults and failings to persons who did not know them;²⁷⁹

- of calumny who, by remarks contrary to the truth, harms the reputation of others and gives occasion for false judgments concerning them.

2478 To avoid rash judgment, everyone should be careful to interpret insofar as possible his neighbor's thoughts, words, and deeds in a favorable way:

Every good Christian ought to be more ready to give a favorable interpretation to another's statement than to condemn it. But if he cannot do so, let him ask how the other understands it. And if the latter understands it badly, let the former correct him with love. If that does not suffice, let the Christian try all suitable ways to bring the other to a correct interpretation so that he may be saved.²⁸⁰

4 Popes and counting

POPE PAUL IV

"How much joy and how much hope we have with your presence and your activity! ... For this purpose, that, for you, is a conscious and authentic way of living the Christian vocation, translates into one effective witness for others: do apostolate because you are what you are!... To Live and promote this awakening is considered by you as a form of "after baptism", which may be renewed in the Christian communities today the effects of maturity and deepening which were done in the period of preparation for baptism in the early Church. You do it then. Before or after I would say, is secondary. It is important that you seek authenticity, the fullness, the consistency, the sincerity of the Christian life. And this has a huge merit, I repeat, that it comforts us enormously..."

SAINT JOHN PAUL II (POPE)

"By now I know well that there are two elements which characterize your charisma. The first is an enthusiasm for the faith. An enthusiasm for the faith rediscovered. .... Then, the second thing which I think is part of your charisma is radical conversion. ... you are very necessary in today's Church, in today's world. "

POPE BENEDICT XVI (EMERITUS) 

The Church has recognized in the Way a special gift which the Holy Spirit has given to our times and the approval of the Statues and of the “Catechetical Directory” are a sign of it...the Church thanks you; she needs you for the New Evangelization."

POPE FRANCIS

"I thank the Lord for the joy of your faith and for the passion of your Christian witness...Be messengers and witnesses of the infinite goodness and the inexhaustible mercy of the Father."

What do you see?

Two pictures taken the same day at different moments but it is well expected that if you only see through the eyes of hate, you will never see beyond the first picture. I encourage you to go beyond the hate that exists in your heart, See the Joy! 

This was published months ago on that other blog...

This is the other picture that they failed to share.

A Father speaks to his sons

In my words and as how I understand it to be...

Archbishop: Remove, the worker
Fr. Paul: Wait! I'll take him off payroll but he can still continue as a volunteer.
Archbishop: No, Remove him
Fr. Paul: No, I know what Im doing.
Archbishop: Since you wont remove him, I will have to remove you for your disobedience.

Archbishop: Im going to sign these loans but you know what you have to do, pay them back.
Msgr. James: Okay, I promise.
Archbishop: You havnt paid the loans.
Msgr. James: I know, but I was hoping that maybe you'll sell the property in Yona.
Archbishop: No, we will not sell that property, it was a gift to us.
Msgr. James: Okay then, can you sign one more loan, I promise I'll pay this back.
Archbishop: Okay.
Archbishop: Youre behind on the loans.
Msgr. James: (silence)
Archbishop: Why havnt you paid the loans? Why is the balance still high? The others have paid a higher percentage of their balance and I signed off on their loans at the same time as yours. What is wrong with this picture? Where have all the monies gone from the cemeteries? 
Msgr. James: (silence)
Archbishop: I need someone to take over and attempt to try and rectify the financial crisis of the Archdiocese and the Cathedral in the meantime Im transferring you to another Parish.
Msgr. James: (silence, but informs the jungle of the Archbishops plans, therefore being the first to go public)

Dear Father

In your own words...

"If the Archbishop asks me to allow the Neos in the Parish, I will accept".


My words...

" I will never join the Neos"


I wonder if you have changed your mind. I did.

The Building Bridges Campaign

Sadly Im confused at the attempt to BUILD BRIDGES. I say this, and feel this way because of the recent news that there are "non-neo" diocesan priests going about telling parishioners "Dont do the Neo" or "make sure you dont join the neos". This is sad. This is biased and poor pastoral care.

Why do I say this? Despite what is happening and after all is said and done. The NCW exists only because of approval of Rome. It exists on Guam only because of the Archbishops approval decades ago to allow the NCW to begin the catechesis in the Parishes whom accepted it. The NCW would not continue if it wasnt for the approval of the Pope(s).

This is where the problem exists. That priests would dare to disapprove parishioner involvement based on their biased opinion, in any sense, not respecting the approval of church hierarchy.

 How can we begin to build bridges if this continues?
