Dear Friends,
Not too many advantages to a Leap Year Day birthday, but the humor of it increases with age. Today, I am having my 18th birthday, since arriving on earth on February 29, 1944.
I'm occupied with so many thoughts and projects, but I'm grateful to God for giving me this much time. My life has been sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes frustrating, but never boring. I can take almost anything but boredom.
When I first (in April 1981) discovered the New Age Movement, the disturbing development that led to my researching and writing THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW (Huntington House, 1983), I was in "Leap Years" only 9 years old. In real time, that would have made 37.
Well, the Leap Year birthday has never been good for much but laughs. When I was a little girl who thought she was turning 8, I was disturbed to tears by my father putting two candles on my birthday cake and saying "you're only two."
At my present stage in life, it's a lot of fun, when asked my age, to have said for the past four years "17" and now, today, "18."
Thanks for being my readers and I'll have real meat to chew on soon.
You may download my two books for free for my birthday (see, you're getting the present!) by going over to internet archives by clicking on this link for HIDDEN DANGERS and this one for A PLANNED DECEPTION.
We are living in perilous times indeed, but I do believe the good Lord gave us a sense of humor as a safety valve!
Stay tuned!
CONSTANCE

Thanks for the video, it provides clarity of the narrow way!
1:35 PM ...all denominations are run by Jesuits, (even some so-called independent Baptists claiming to use only the KJV, I have seen them personally) and even the Jews-- all can be traced to Rome, ALL wonder after the beast-in other words they all contain Roman thinking especially the Sunday worship thing and going to heaven or hell right after death, etc. ALL roads lead to Rome. Based on my personal research ONLY the Roman Catholics and the Adventists will openly admit to being controlled or heavily influenced by Jesuits. The Episcopals hint at it but they are controlled on paper even if they pretend in the US to be more separate. I have not seen others willing to admit it. The Lutherans and the Methodists agree with Rome on paper and most non-denominational churches at least the three I have personal attended were run by ex-Catholics still thinking like Catholics. I have witnessed Muslims attend Catholic church and identify with Roman Catholicism.
You are welcome Dan Bryan @ 6:01 PM.
As for Marko's post I will agree in this: where we can be like-minded with others to uphold that salvation, our justification is in Christ Alone-our Atonement-(because he is God and does not need "help" from us the helpless) is non-negotiable, then we certainly should be unified. In things not about justification, but in matters of sanctification, we must give each other room (grace).
In essentials, unity.
In non-essentials, liberty.
In all things, love.
Anon. 7:15 pm:
Thank you. You said in a few lines what it takes me a book to write. I wish I had your skills!
I agree completely with what you said, and it's what I've been trying to say but I tend to wander off into the weeds and get lost. (There's a money quote for those of you not as willing as others to show me a little grace... :^)
My sister-in-law says I use this as an excuse for not being careful in what I write, and maybe to some extent that's true, but I've always liked this poem:
Friendship – by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik
Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,
Having neither to weigh thoughts,
Nor measure words – but pouring them
All right out – just as they are --
Chaff and grain together --
Certain that a faithful hand will
Take and sift them --
Keep what is worth keeping --
And with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.

Just for the record; I have NEVER posted in here under anything other than "RayB," but thanks for thinking of me. LOL
Marko,
That little quote at the end of my 7:15 PM post is not original with me, but I use it to try to remember the perspective I should keep.
Not saying I can't wander off into weeds myself, because I certainly can, but I have appreciated that you make the effort to be fair-minded.
Would be great if everyone kept that in mind before they post (including me).
Another child abuser, and the priests are mourning for him, not for the person whose life was ruined:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/16/priest-founder-of-mexican-american-cultural-center-commits-suicide-in-san-antonio-tx/
This is a horrible situation because children do not come forward and live with these scars for years, so their lives are ruined until they get the courage to speak out ( and some never do). As I wrote in a previous post, in the Catholic Church this is systemic. It happens elsewhere in society, and in other churches and in Orthodox Judaism, but not with the frequency that it does in Catholicism.
There are several problems, one the covering up of this horrendous crime against children and the refusal of anyone within Catholicism to admit that staying celibate for life is not really normal or natural. God created man to fill the earth. Reproduction is something that God commands in Genesis. He says "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth". When an entire institution tries to suppress what God says is good and holy, this is the perversion you end up with.
Whether priests join the Catholic Church because they are closet homosexuals or pedophiles is hard to say. Before someone jumps on me, I am not saying all priests but an unusually large percentage relative to other religious organizations end up in these crimes. When these priests know they will just be transferred to another parish, there is no reason for them to worry about their activities.
As Jesus said, if anyone prevents the little ones from coming to him they would be better off having a millstone hung around their neck and drowned. The other sad thing is that these men claim to represent God, so what is a young child going to grow up thinking about God after having been subjected to this abuse? I wouldn't want to know a god who allows this abuse, because it is not the God of the Bible who is good and holy and who says, "let the children come onto me because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" . Jesus spoke of the innocence of children that was absolutely precious. When the innocence is robbed, we must agree that this is Satanic.
I would like to see Catholics who are little less defensive about their church and a little more disgusted with this scourge on children. I know some Catholics who have left their church because they see the systemic pedophilia and subsequent coverup as an abomination.

“We have established that the first aspect, that is, the concrete form which the idea of creation had taken in practice, has been abolished by the idea of evolution; here the believer must allow himself to be taught by science that the way in which he had imagined creation was part of a pre-scientific world view that has become untenable.”(p.36)
proto new age gnostics of the first several centuries often used standard Christian terms with a totally different meaning and so do some heretics today. "the perception and understanding of truth can be changed while words remain the same. The words of dogmatic formulations can remain the same but only be subjected to a “hermeneutics of continuity” which sees them under new “aspects.” And even the Mass, for the most part, can remain the same, but its perceived meaning and spiritual orientation can be radically altered by small changes." the same can happen and is happening in emergent and probably other prot church settings.

It's back folks! MCE with her Blavatskyism, chaos and more! The reek of sin and falsehood gusts up from the sewage of her posts!
You were told to take a LONG vacation, MCE. Not only 3 or 4 days... that meant, don't come back!
3:13 AM,
Once again you've decided to dump your garbage here.
As 6:13 has noted, you were told to take a LONG vacation (trans):
Cease and disist from fly-tipping your rot here!
We don't want to know the sordid details of your sinful relationship and whether the res seer still cross-dresses or anything else inappropriate or nonsensical you feel the urge to divulge.
Justina, you have been busy posting on New Age websites over the last few days, haven't you? !
Still, not surprising since you were caught out sometime back posting in 'magic' forums disseminating your nonsense on tantric sex magic, etc, and your "ad" which you posted and quickly removed, as Ray B and others brought to our attention ... was it meant for the new age blog where you posted the following? (Here you are using a shorter blog i.d. linked to your infowolf twitter account):
Christine Erikson 3/13/2016 11:07:00
" "Is it really a coincidence that all of the major threads of alternative history have moved in the direction of alternative spirituality? " "
"I think not. whatever the actual truth of these things is (I mean by "truth" objective physical day to day boring sedentary 9 to5 workers all over the place mundane nonspiritual icky ordinary bleah merely material reality stuff) "
"there is a heavy dose of the mythic FEELING, the awe and wonder, etc. suppose several hundred years from now, our defunct civilization is dug up. "AFTER MAN" or something like that title on TV shows how fast everything would deteriorate without maintenance, the rust capable things especially. And suppose the attitude was awe and wonder and yearning towards those great days of which little actually would be known."
"personal and impersonal spirits (the latter like trace effects, artifacts psychic residuum some kind of "current") left in those remains might be stirred up by the attitude, to no good effect. much evil exists in our civilization that might well begin to affect such dreamy yearners. meanwhile the hardnosed objective scientific sorts would have a built in shielding against this by their attitude. a new category of fringe plus "spirituality" would develop in the former case. "
"yeah, I'm dragging in "haints" a good term from American southern black culture, which goes beyond personal entities, i.e., dead people and demons, to include all manner of stuff. but my take on this "etheric world" etc. is not that its a good idea to mess with."
"cultures that use entheogens are not characterized by overall sanity of worldview, high moral standards, and medical and technological development enough to get them out of some jungle gutter. enough to keep them useful for the spirits who are predatory parasitical vampires. THESE GOD DAMNED THINGS LIE. "
"whatever reality is met by such measures is not good. and like a false hearted lover (that a song says is worse than a thief) they will sometimes lead you with great beauty, wonderful feelings and the end is misery and maybe death and worse."
Here's the link where Justina posted a few days ago.
http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/drugs-gods-and-alternative-historys-spirituality
Obviously, she is obsessed with demons, vampires, spirits of the dark side, etc.
I remember the first time, years ago, that I visited this blog and read some of her posts and found myself thinking that she is a master deceiver. As she did back then, she continues now to drone on and on about everything that is from the dark side. No wonder she's one of the prime defenders of that dark and dreary RCC.
6:13 and 7:20....
You didn't read anything she posted, did you? They were all links that were apropos to the current discussions. Nothing she said was Blavatskyist, chaotic, or related to "the sordid details of [her] sinful relationship..." as you claimed.
You need to take a vacation as well, and help de-clutter this blog with USELESS posts, since the rest of us obviously can't be expected to collapse all comments from "Anonymous".
"predatory parasitical vampires"
She's obsessed with this talk.
Her posts reek and her own blog is a dump.
Here or elsewhere.
A foul dump of things from a foul mind, in the example 9:38 AM posted about her. Shows us what she is up to (as if we didn't already know) but enough is enough. This blog needs her gone. Gone. She only continues the abuse.
Constance, please. The Erikson woman needs to vacate your blog, not vacation from it.
And we don't need the extra tattletale about Erikson as 10:47 AM says. There's plenty of evidence already against her. Don't need a recap from somebody else, because she'll do that herself the next time and every time she shows up.
She can't help herself. That's some sick "stuff".
Absolutely, Ray B. Justina aka Jesuitina aims to deceive in Jesuitical proportions. No wonder she supports the dark and dreary RCC tooth and nail, after all, they promote the same nonsense about extra terrestrial life as she does.
The Vatican owns the World's largest telescope (on Mount Graham in Arizona), with which they are searching for life on other planets, the infrared camera of which they've called Lucifer!
Not surprisingly, the Prince of the Air, the Devil himself, is leading them into delusion with sightings of UFO's, etc.
(How many billions has it cost? Yet Francis has the audacity to spread his Marxist message to the rest of us.)
One of their lot has stated that Jesus Christ may not be the Only Savior, though He is the Alpha and Omega to humanity, there may be other saviors for those of other worlds : what utter blaspheming nonsense!
Elsewhere, the Vatican is denying the facts of what they are up to here, no doubt to further deceive their 'flock'. Yet otherwise, they have promoted this to the hilt, on TV chat programmes, etc.

Dear Constance, we don't want to start drowning in Christine's nonsense again after what has proved to be a very short break; please exclude her.
People have been ASKING Constance for a very long time to get rid of her.
She has given these warnings for a very long time.
I've said it before and I'll say it again-
Without Christine posting on her blog, each thread would not even have close to 100 posts.
It would seem that Constance likes the high thread counts as it makes her blog look more relevant when at a glance each thread has 250-500 posts. But....almost 75% or more are Christina and those arguing back and forth with her.
Check the numbers if you don't believe.
By the way- all you who bash Christine for posting too much, and how she is ruining this blog, but praise Constance......
WAKE UP!! It is NOT Christine's fault.
It IS Constance's FAULT for ALLOWING it.
Since this has been going on for a couple years or more, I suggest that people stop talking about how Christine is dragging this place down when it is Constance dragging down for not banning her a LONG TIME AGO.
True!
Constance, please do the right thing, and ban Christine permanently,,,,
So she can get a life!!!!
Yes, Constance. Please. CHRISTINE HAS HER OWN BLOG, for goodness sake. It's not like you are kicking her to the curb with duct tape over her mouth and her hands tied behind her back.

******************************************************
Keep telling yourself that as you continue to remain in denial. This is a perfect example of the Protestant response - or non-response - to the sex abuse that occurs among members of the Protestant clergy.
Maybe Protestants NEED to get a little more "systemic." I would like to see Protestants who are little less defensive about THEIR church and a LOT more disgusted with this scourge on children start SYSTEMATICALLY policing their own instead of pretending that they are "without sin" and therefore entitled to throw the first stone at others.
Also....I personally know of priests who have been FALSELY accused of this Satanic shameful horror, and even though the allegations were later PROVEN to have been false beyond the shadow of a doubt, these priests reputations were tainted beyond repair.
When an innocent person's good name is robbed, we must agree that this is also Satanic as well as millstone-worthy.
Here are a couple of articles about sex abuse among the Protestant clergy where "the buck stops nowhere." And as stated earlier, this is only one denomination.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
http://stopbaptistpredators.org/outrage.html
BAPTIST HIDE AND SEEK
"Ever wonder why there are so many stories about child-molesting priests and not many about child-molesting Baptist ministers? It's not because there are less predatory clergy among Baptists. It's because there are easier hiding places among Baptists. "It's harder to track down sexual abuse allegations involving children in Protestant denominations."
Baptist scholars confirm this: "The problem of clergy sexual abuse is not just a Catholic issue...Studies have shown no difference in its frequency by denomination, region, theology, or institutional structure." But while Catholics and most mainline Protestant denominations have developed national policies to deal with the problem, "decentralized denominations such as the Southern Baptist Convention...have no national policies" and "sexual misconduct is routinely covered up in these settings." Trull & Carter, Ministerial Ethics at p. 162 (2d ed. 2004).
Remember: Most clergy child molesters have never been convicted of anything. Of all the Catholic priests who have been removed from ministry, only 3 percent were able to be criminally prosecuted and only 2 percent were ever jailed. If Catholics themselves had not taken action - finally - over 700 child molesting priests would still be working in ministry. The largest Protestant denomination needs to do something about this problem as well.
How do the cover ups happen with Baptists?"
cont.
cont.
The buck stops nowhere.
For a Baptist minister, there is no one with the power to remove his credentials or to say that he can no longer be a minister. This is unlike the Catholic system where, if a bishop suspected a problem with one of his priests, and did nothing about it, he could be held accountable.
If a Baptist minister began to suspect a problem with one of his colleagues, it would be far easier for him to simply suggest that the problem minister move on. Though irresponsible, it would be much more comfortable to choose not to look too closely. If no investigation is done, and no record made, there’s nothing to tell to the man’s new church. So rather than going through the difficulty of determining the facts, the problem minister is simply allowed to go on his way to a new congregation, where he may find fresh young prey.
In "Where Does the Baptist Buck Stop?" columnist Terry Mattingly explained how the Baptist system leaves a void in accountability. The buck stops nowhere.
The church where it happened says "not our problem."
Most clergy abuse victims do not speak of the trauma at the time. This is normal and well-documented. If they speak of it at all, it is usually many years later.
At that point, the victim goes back to the church where it happened, and that church effectively says, “Not our problem - he’s not here.” (That’s the good-case scenario; in some cases, the church also tries to intimidate the victim, presumably so that the church's complicity in the cover-up will not be revealed.)
No denominational help for finding the hiding predator.
If the perpetrator has moved several times, as is often the case, the victim may not be able to find him, and there is no denominational office to turn to for help. (The SBC’s ministerial database is not reliable and is easily manipulated. Even prominent ministers may not appear in it, and a minister’s name can be readily removed to avoid detection.) Without denominational assistance, locating the perpetrator can take a lot of time, money and energy, and many victims will give up.
This is a hide & seek game in which the clergy-predator gets a many-years-long head start and the hiding places span the country.

Pedophilia Only a Catholic Sin?
http://www.redstate.com/diary/roetenks/2009/08/14/pedophilia-only-a-catholic-sin/
Evangelical Sex Abuse Record ‘Worse’ Than Catholic, Says Billy Graham’s Grandson Boz Tchividijian
AUSTIN, Texas (RNS) The Christian mission field is a “magnet” for sexual abusers, Boz Tchividjian, a Liberty University law professor who investigates abuse said Thursday (Sept. 26) to a room of journalists.
While comparing evangelicals to Catholics on abuse response, ”I think we are worse,” he said at the Religion Newswriters Association conference, saying too many evangelicals had “sacrificed the souls” of young victims.
“Protestants can be very arrogant when pointing to Catholics,” said Tchividjian, a grandson of evangelist Billy Graham and executive director of Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE), which has investigated sex abuse allegations.
Earlier this summer, GRACE spearheaded an online petition decrying the “silence” and “inattention” of evangelical leaders to sexual abuse in their churches.
Mission agencies, “where abuse is most prevalent,” often don’t report abuse because they fear being barred from working in foreign countries, he said. Abusers will get sent home and might join another agency. Of known data from abuse cases, 25 percent are repeat cases, he said.
Still, he says, he sees some positive movements among some Protestants. Bob Jones University has hired GRACE to investigate abuse allegations, a move that encourages Tchividjian, a former Florida prosecutor. ”That’s like the mothership of fundamentalism,” he said. His grandfather split with Bob Jones in a fundamentalist and evangelical division.
“The Protestant culture is defined by independence,” Tchividjian said. Evangelicals often frown upon transparency and accountability, he said, as many Protestants rely on Scripture more than religious leaders, compared to Catholics.
Abusers discourage whistle-blowing by condemning gossip to try to keep people from reporting abuse, he said. Victims are also told to protect the reputation of Jesus.
Too many Protestant institutions have sacrificed souls in order to protect their institutions, he said. ”We’ve got the Gospels backwards,” he said.
Tchividjian said he is speaking with Pepperdine University, a Church of Christ-affiliated school in California, about creating a national GRACE center

Protestant Sex Abuse Equals or Exceeds Catholic Clergy Abuse
https://www.schmidtandclark.com/protestant-sexual-abuse-pedophile
I was looking up mill stones for this pedophilia thing for the Catholic and her Daughter Protestant. Do you realize how costly it would be to pronounce judgement via millstone? How about just weighing them down with a boulder?
http://www.millstones.com/cs/millstones.html
All of the anonymous writers trying to defend the scandalous abuse by saying it goes on elsewhere.
That is not a response. I have already said abuse goes on elsewhere. In the Catholic Church it is systemic and covered up. If I were in any congregation be it Lutheran, Baptist, Pentecostal, Orthodox Jew, and I knew that my organization had a history of covering up sexual abuse, I would be out the door immediately. The fact that it would happen is horrible, but when the hierarchy of the organization protects the perpetrators instead of allowing them to be brought to justice is where I have the biggest problem.
The transferring of priests from parish to parish is scandalous.. An individual who commits acts like this should be quickly brought to justice, not covered up. Stop defending the unbiblical practice of celibacy because most don't maintain it anyway, and they are not supposed to,
Again, I will repeat. If you are comfortable with an organization that allows children to be victimized and no justice is given to them, be it Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, then I have nothing more to say. Your silence and/or defense of what is indefensible speaks volumes.
If you were at least honest and said, I am really disgusted with this and have a hard time worshipping in an organization that is supposed to represent God but allows the abuse of the innocent, I would have more respect for you, but to answer my comments about Catholicism by trying to prove that Protestants have an equal number of abuse scandals is absurd.
Doesn't God give you a sense of holy outrage, or are you so attached to your church that has allowed the systematic victimization of children while protecting the perpetrators?
The fact that it takes decades for these pedophiles to be brought to justice is disgusting when there are people in the organization who know what's going on. The organization of the Catholic Church was protected but not the children.
http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2016/03/catholic-leaders-charged-sexual-abuse-conspiacy-3321671.html
From that article:
"Over the last decade, the Vatican defrocked over 850 priests and sanctioned some 2,500 more. In terms of policy, however, very little systemic change has occurred,, according to Michael Rezendes, played by Mark Ruffalo in the film. Rezendes, is the only journalist involved in the investigation still working on the Globe’s Spotlight team. Investigative reports from the Globe exposing the sex abuse scandal continues to rock the Catholic Church today."

Second post in about 24 hours I did not post for 7 days before the last one. Count the am to pm cycle. without anyone yelling, posting slowed someone noted. one post and total hysteria breaks loose. 12 posts to my one. My warnings on occult or fringe sites against accepting spirit influence are treated as evidence against me when any sane (or not pushing an occult agenda themselves) person would see it as evidence supporting me. At the very least they are the sort who denounce spiritual warfare and consider it unhealthy to even think about such things. Such people are tools of satan.
Constance, how can you tolerate those people? its not about me, when I'm not posting they hound the RC. they drag them into interminable arguments. even when presented with Scripture they don't
shut up. they seem to want to ruin your blog. And they have never kept themselves to one Christine bashing post a day, if someone posted already that doesn't stop three or four more appearing.
Constance, please ban anonymous posting. Rarely do they post anything worthwhile. If I was banned they would keep dragging your blog down into their rants and mutual back scratching about jesuits and RC and harlot church. (I could make a good case that IF the harlot is a church then she is the Reformation and the splintering protestant churches are her harlot daughters, she is called the mother of harlots, remember? I only suspect this I don't buy it.) The only time they attack real new age or globalism is when it intersects with RC, or might be an immediate problem personally.
one of them said he/she had thrown your books in a dumpster years ago, and favors Tupper Saussey (saucy tupperware?) whose focus is Jesuit only and totally misses the whole theosophical and bailey and ferguson etc. material you found which is ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE.
So what is such a person doing here?
one can construct a fake ID and post anyway and that be banned if one acts up.
Many times I wanted to delete and rewrite to add to posts but after being accused of posting and deleting something "vile" I didn't dare. I tried again recently and was falsely accused of posting a psychic services ad.
And tellingly, their greatest anger is directed at my turning a few new age favored stuff AGAINST THE NEW AGE. Why? they didn't challenge the pagan postings. Why? proof:

To Anonymous @ 1:03 AM ...
I couldn't agree more with your statement. I'd like to add just a couple of thoughts on this subject. I have heard quite often Catholics state that "this goes on in the Protestant churches too." The label "Protestant" does not represent some type of cohesive, united unit such as that which is lead by the Pope over the RCC. So called “Protestantism” has no such hierarchal system or leader. In fact, as an illustration, when one uses the term "Baptist,” that label encompasses all types of "church bodies" ... some are VERY liberal, some are moderate, some are in the "fundamentalist" camp ... and even that has a variety of degrees, etc. MOST so called “Protestant” churches aren’t Protestant at all, proven by the fact that they deny in both faith and practices the Bible they proclaim to believe upon. In contrast, Rome IS cohesive and is ruled by the Pope and the church's hierarchy. The Pope in a very real sense is a dictator during the time he holds office.
It is well documented that the Papacy, along with their dioceses all over the world, have NOT cooperated in the slightest with the victims and families of those that suffered at the hands of Rome’s pedophile priests. Rome hides behind their nation/state status while refusing to cooperate with policing authorities that have attempted to seek justice for these victims. They consistently deny justice to victims by using “statutes of limitations” regarding these crimes committed by THEIR priests. Rome also has a long history of transferring these guilty “priests” into other unsuspecting dioceses where they then continue to prey upon these innocent children.
Along with the aforementioned evil, Rome is guilty of numerous civil crimes, much of it centered within their vast global financial holdings. The Vatican Bank has a long history of corruption, including money laundering for the Mafia and the International drug cartels. The RCC is not a “church” in any real sense of the word … it is a Corporation of corruption. People that remain in it need to seek, in humility, the REAL Jesus Christ that is found only in His Word. When doing so, plead with God for help to show you the real truth found only in Him.
Marko,
I agree.
It's an odd conclusion to come to but there it is.
We should obey the laws of the land and render unto Ceasar what is his.
America is a Democratic Rebublic at best. More likely it's an Oligarchy.
We should be model citizens for the sake of the Gospel.
I'm more interested in the person who goes to Washington as a state rep
and fights for Christian causes ( in a secular, but not dishonest way ),
than in who the powers-that-be choose as POTUS.
Obama was so obviously chosen by someone other than the people
of the U.S. that it's not funny.
They're all selected, not elected.
Trump is probably a ruse.
By the way I was responding to your comment from three pages of comments ago at 3:31
Meshuga Mary Erikson is slowly edging her way through the door... back with chakra driven ufos, and more of her baloney.
Trump is a ruse. I think Hillery will be our next president.
It's only fitting.

RE: "All of the anonymous writers trying to defend the scandalous abuse by saying it goes on elsewhere."
No. We are not trying to defend the scandalous abuse by saying it goes on elsewhere. What we are saying is that the Catholic Church is effectively doing something about it. Protestants are not doing much of anything apart from throwing stones at Catholics......while the Protestant perverts continue to get away with murder.
Re: "If you were at least honest and said, I am really disgusted with this and have a hard time worshipping in an organization that is supposed to represent God but allows the abuse of the innocent, I would have more respect for you, but to answer my comments about Catholicism by trying to prove that Protestants have an equal number of abuse scandals is absurd.
Doesn't God give you a sense of holy outrage, or are you so attached to your church that has allowed the systematic victimization of children while protecting the perpetrators?"
******************
Spare us the phony "outraged virtue" performance.
Doesn't God give you an equal sense of holy outrage over the equally systemic victimization of children by Protestants? Or is your "outrage" merely an example of the hypocritical Jimmy Swaggart-style crocodile tears of someone who is only sorry he got caught?
I will just throw your own words right back in your teeth and say that I would have more respect for YOU if YOU were at least honest and said "I am really disgusted with this and have a hard time worshipping in an organization that is supposed to represent God but allows the abuse of the innocent..."
Instead you focus on removing the speck from your neighbor's eye while ignoring the two-by-four in your own.
Since the hideous pedophile scandals in your own backyard have obviously not persuaded you to abandon your religion, then you should be the last one to criticize Catholics for continuing to remain Catholic.
I wholeheartedly agree that the transferring of priests from parish to parish by SOME corrupt bishops is scandalous.......no less scandalous than the transfer from congregation to congregation of offending Protestant ministers with no records kept and nowhere for the "buck" to stop.
Regarding "statutes of limitations," Protestants have no less consistently denied justice to THEIR victims by using “statutes of limitations” regarding these crimes committed by THEIR ministers.
For years, Protestants have self-righteously assumed they were immune to the abuses perpetrated by celibate Catholic priests. Boz Tchividjian, a former prosecutor who teaches law at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia believes that Protestant churches, groups, and schools have been worse than Catholics in their response.
Mission fields, he says, are “magnets” for would-be molesters; ministries and schools do not understand the dynamics of abuse; and “good ol’ boy” networks routinely cover up victims’ stories to protect their reputations. He fears it is only a matter of time before it all blows up in their faces and threatens the survival of powerful Protestant institutions.
It has been pointed out that with regard to pedophile scandals, the Protestants are
where the Catholic Church was about 20 years ago. Given the eagerness of certain Protestants to throw the first stone at the Catholic Church while hypocritically remaining in denial about what is going on in their own backyard, I doubt that they will qualify for the sympathy vote when it all blows up in their faces.
Then we can talk about who deserves "respect."
The Catholic Church really has not done anything to prosecute these people. The justice system has when years later it comes to light. This is not unique with the Catholic Church but, it's the nature of a crime against innocent children who don't speak out, out of fear or shame. The Church should be the first, when someone is found, to seek justice for the victims.
Pedophilia is always a horrific crime, but there is no one denomination with example of systemic abuse like the Catholic Church. I cannot think of one. This is because lifelong celibacy is not natural or normal. You have to ask which comes first the chicken or the egg. Do some go into the priesthood because they have some tendencies, or do they develop these problems because of celibacy?
I agree that there are people who will work with children, not exclusively in churches but in schools, foster care and any setting where there is private contact between adults and children, like the famous scandal of Penn St. but the systemic problems within the Catholic church are far from being resolved and will not be because of the policy of celibacy and satanists who infiltrate the church and delight in the abuse of innocent victims. Satanists and covens infiltrate other churches as well. Masonry is another problem in the Catholic Church and in the Southern Baptists, at least which promotes this kind of satanic secrecy and covering up.
Any church or organization that sees systematic abuse of children needs to ask the question why. If I was attending a church where the hierarchy covered up child abuse, I could not and would not sit under the teaching of that church. Ask the victims of the abuse and they will tell you how little has been done for them.
Rarely, do I agree with the UN:

8:42PM, please stop trying to defend the Catholic Church's handling of this by saying others do it. It is indefensible anywhere at anytime and if your church is guilty of this, think about getting out. I know that I would.
RayB,
Exactly. couldn't agree with you more.
anon 11:53 and others
firstly, prots don't understand the RC view of "rome." it is not merely a denomination you can leave and stay with Christ. The RC is the mystical body of Christ, the only true Church, and to leave it is to leave Christ. (some see their way clear to leave RC and join another Apostolic Succession church, many have come to ORthodoxy because of what has gone on, sexual and other corruption.) the human element of this mystical organism may at times be corrupt. but the mystical organism is beyond that. the power of the priest and bishop is not related to, based on, or affectable by their personal virtue or lack of same. and they are the only ones who can provide valid sacraments.
arguing RC is monolithic and prots aren't is pointless. the same measures are taken and in protland there are no records kept to speak of and more easily fudged as a poster here showed.
Paul does say to accept an accusation against an elder only from two witnesses, but our present legal system is not a model to interpret this by. The accusation is that a person is one who does such and so. the witnesses could be one to each of several events, but the sum total is, he is this kind of sumbitch get rid of him.
in protestant land, IDENTICAL NOTIONS support this: that the priest/minister is closer to God so can do no wrong, and physicality with such a man (or woman in some cases likely) is a way being closer to God.
that the reputation of the church or of Jesus Himself must be protected by silence about evil. that we should "cover our father's nakedness" comparing the shame of sin with that of physical nakedness, and equating exposure of evil (commanded in Ephesians 5:11) with Ham laughing and gossiping about Noah drunk unconscious and naked, and evil coverup with the covering of him by Shem and Japheth. But this is wrong, because this is used to cover up evil, while Shem and Japheth did not cover their brother's nakedness of shame of sin, but told on him to Noah. Noah did not denounce them for "snitching" but cursed Canaan and blessed Shem and Japheth.
why did he curse Canaan and not Ham? two theories, possibly both true. God had already blessed all three brothers, so Noah couldn't curse Ham directly. and/or Canaan was the one who stole Noah's clothes, maybe did something worse, and Ham was laughing about it, but the real problem was Canaan. to this I might add, perhaps only option 1 is true, but Noah cursed only Canaan not other sons of Ham, because Canaan put Ham up to it and/or was identical to Ham's mentality.
in all these things of justice in the Bible, you see that the one who takes the initiative is held responsible, the active role player in some sexual thing (usually male) is directly cursed, the predator is denounced not the prey, or the latter only secondarily insofar as they cooperated somewhat. This is the exact opposite of the value system of those who laugh at victims instead of cursing and exposing victimizers, who consider it good when a girl won't tell who the father of her child is, protecting his reputation and his family, blah blah. and other things.
Though this noah misapplication is more common in EO than elsewhere it is probably all over the map, since the devil and his agents (infiltrated everywhere) sell the ideas in the first place.
"forgiveness" of an absolute, uncoditional kind, combined with and requiring SILENCE which evil always wants, regarding the sin done, which has been demanded of me here, IS EXACTLY WHAT ROME AND OTHER COVERUP ARTISTS DEMAND.
"submission" is merely doing what one is told. it is not a state of mind that can't say no. it is not going slack and being "surrendered" to be another's tool. like a Stepford
wife or something. Paul talks about submission to each other. But the term is misused to create an absolute totalitarian scene.

Yes.
We are we always forgetting that the world hates us, and will use ANY excuse to hate us more. Satan is the enemy here, and he has corrupted the Church in as many ways as he can, to build up a wave of hatred that is about to crash down on ALL of our heads - Catholic and Protestant alike!
If you are a Protestant and are tied to the next stake over from a Catholic at the weekly stake-burning, in the probably-not-too-distant future, are you going to start discussing disagreements over theology or scriptural interpretation? Or will you perhaps recite together in unison the Lord's Prayer? "Our Father....."
Marko, you wrote: "If you are a Protestant and are tied to the next stake over from a Catholic at the weekly stake-burning, in the probably-not-too-distant future, are you going to start discussing disagreements over theology or scriptural interpretation? Or will you perhaps recite together in unison the Lord's Prayer? "Our Father....."
That person would no doubt be a "disgruntled" Roman Catholic as those RC apologists here would term it, or a false flag by the Vatican.
It is clear to any serious researcher that the Devil is using the Vatican and its cohorts as the prime machine behind the New World Order, One World Religion, etc. The locusts aka jesuits and SMOM are the human agencies behind this. They have infiltrated Governments around the World for sometime now.
The Illuminati (Alumbrados in Spanish) are the Jesuits!
Trump and Clinton are both Rome controled shills!
10:08 am:
No serious researcher has such tunnel vision as to blame all the world's problems on one group of people. In your case, it's the Jesuits. There are scores of enemies, on many fronts, some in cahoots, some not, all having been deceived in one way or another. There is no one "root" person or organization who is orchestrating history by "pulling strings", enacting "false flag events", engaging the "dialectic", or whatever other mechanism you want to describe. These are all used, of course, by various groups at various times. But you can't trace it back to just one group.
As I've said before, history is much more complex than that, and to try and reduce it to some nefarious plot by , is to give research a bad name.
Our enemy, the Devil, is the only one who can be said to be behind it all.
There are interconnections, to be sure, and common goals, and because Satan is behind it all there will be many similarities between the different people and groups attacking the Church of Jesus Christ, but that's as far as one can go in determining the "root". If it really was the Jesuits who controlled everything and are the ones planning a New World, then if it were possible (and let's assume for argument's sake that it IS possible) to eliminate all the Jesuits in the world, then the nefarious plans for a one world religion/government/etc would disappear, right? Of course, to suggest such a thing is ludicrous. And so is, therefore, the idea that Jesuits are behind it all.
Please understand I'm not defending them. I'm only pointing out how silly it is to say that they are running everything. Or that ANY one person or group is running everything. Even at the height of the Antichrist's reign, he won't be running *everything* - there will be resistance groups and pockets here and there who do NOT comply with his program. Please remember that, and be encouraged by it.

The Protestants have done even less. Until fairly recently, they have done NOTHING.
this has been unequivocally stated in articles BY PROTESTANTS ( not by Catholics ) which have already been posted here.
That you would bring Masonry into the picture as "a Catholic problem" is a red herring which reveals that you are desperately trying to change the subject. Masonry - along with its religious and moral relativism - is a PROTESTANT problem, not a Catholic problem. Membership in Masonry by Catholics is still forbidden.
Those Catholics who knowingly join are not not only not good Catholics, they are also heretics and apostates......as well as hypocrites if they continue to profess Roman Catholicism while continuing their active membership in the Lodge..
Freemasonry was founded by Protestants and the vast majority of its membership is Protestant.

If it happens in my denomination then I'll shift to another as I'm not putting up with that. Catholics need to stop thinking in hierarchies and talking about "protestants" as if all are the same.
I commend the strategy of changing denomination to Catholics. No responses about rats deserting sinking ships, please: the rats are the pedophiles and those who covered up for them. But there will be more of them where priestly celibacy is required, because the priesthood will then be disproportionately attractive to those who are not heterosexual.
Fr Stephen Kiesle’s defrocking was urgently requested to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly the Inquisition) by his bishop in the 1980s after he had been convicted of tying up and molesting two boys. The CDF did not act for four years; then its head, the future Benedict XVI, wrote a letter stating that the “good of the universal church” should be considered in questions of defrocking. No defrocking order was made at that time. What did he mean by "the good of the universal church", if not the avoidance of embarrassment?

Testimonies from ex-Roman Catholic Priests
by Matt Slick
The following quotes are taken from the book by Richard Bennet, Far from Rome, Near to God: Testimonies of 50 Converted Roman Catholic Priests, Carlisle, PN: The Banner of Truth Trust, 1997. They are quite interesting and valuable since they give an insight to Catholicism from those who were priests in the Catholic Church and then left it to find salvation in Jesus.
Following are excerpts from only a few of the fifty testimonies in the book:
Henry Gregory Adams. Born in Saskatchewan, Canada. He entered the Basilian Order of monks and adopted the monastic name of "Saint Hilarion the Great." He was ordained as a priest and served five parishes in the Lemont, Alberta, area.
Sacraments. "The monastic life and the sacraments prescribed by the Roman Catholic Church did not help me to come to know Christ personally and find salvation . . . I realized that the man-made sacraments of my church and my good works were in vain for salvation. They lead to a false security," (p. 3).
Joseph Tremblay. Born in Quebec, Canada, 1924. He was ordained a priest in Rome, Italy, and was sent to Bolivia, Chile, where he served for 13 years "as a missionary in the congregation of the Oblate Fathers of Mary Immaculate."
Salvation by works. "My theology has taught me that salvation is by works and sacrifices . . . my theology gives me no assurance of salvation. The Bible offers me that assurance . . . I had been trying to save myself on my works . . . I was stifled in a setting in which I was pushed to do good works to merit my salvation," (pp. 9, 11-12).
Bartholomew F. Brewer. He applied to the Discalced Carmelites, a strict monastic order. He received training of "four years of high school seminary, two years in the novitiate, three years of philosophy, and four years of theology (the last after ordination)." He was ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary in Washington, D.C. He eventually served as a diocesan priest in San Diego, California, and entered the Navy as a Roman Catholic chaplain.
Upon questioning Rome's Beliefs, "At first I did not understand, but gradually I observed a wonderful change in mother. Her influence helped me realize the importance of the Bible in determining what we believe. We often discussed subjects such as the primacy of Peter, papal infallibility, the priesthood, infant baptism, confession, the mass, purgatory, the Immaculate Conception of Mary, and the bodily assumption of Mary into Heaven. In time I realized that not only are these beliefs not in the Bible but also they are actually contrary to the clear teaching of Scripture," (pp. 21-22).
Relying on works. He left the Roman Catholic Church, got married, and through conversations with his wife and other Christians, "I finally understood that I had been relying on my own righteousness and religious efforts and not upon the completed and sufficient sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Roman Catholic religion had never taught me that our own righteousness is fleshly and not acceptable to God nor that we need to trust in His righteousness alone . . . during all those years of monastic life I had relied on the sacraments of Rome to give me grace, to save me," (p. 25).
Hugh Farrell. Born in Denver, Colorado. Entered the Order of our Lady of Mount Carmel, commonly called the Discalced Carmelite Fathers. Ordained as a priest.
Priestly power to change elements: "The priest, according to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, has the power to take ordinary bread and wine, and, by pronouncing the words of the consecration prayer in the sacrifice of the Mass, to change it into the actual body and blood and soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. Hence, since one cannot separate the human nature of Christ from his divinity, the bread and wine, after being changed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, are entitled to the worship of adoration," (pp. 28).
Continued from CARM
Temporal punishment due to sins. "I knew from the teachings of the priests and nuns that I could not hope to go directly to heaven after my death. My Roman Catholic catechism taught me that after death I had to pay for the temporal punishment due to my sins. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that 'the souls of the just which, in a moment of death, are burdened with venial sins or temporal punishment due to sin, enter purgatory,'" (p. 29).
Penance. Regarding life in the monastery and doing penance. "These penances consist of standing with the arms outstretched to form a cross, kissing the sandaled feet of the monks, receiving a blow upon the face from the monks, and, at the end of the meal, lying prostrate before the entrance to the refectory so that the departing monks must step over one's body. These, and other penances, are supposed to gain one merit in heaven and increase one's 'spiritual bank account,'" (p. 36).
The Mass and sorcery. "According to the teaching of the Roman Church, the priest, no matter how unworthy he may personally be, even if he has just made a pact with the devil for his soul, has the power to change the elements of bread and wine into the actual body and blood, soul and divinity, of Jesus Christ. Provided he pronounces the words of consecration properly and has the intention of consecrating, God must come down on the altar and enter and take over the elements," (p. 39).
Alexander Carson. Baptized into the Roman Catholic Church as an infant. His priesthood studies were at St. John's seminary, Brighton, Massachusetts. He was ordained by Bishop Lawrence Shehan of Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1955 and was a priest in Alexandria, Louisiana. Also, he was pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Rayville, Louisiana.
Bible or Tradition. " . . . the Holy Spirit led me to judge Roman Catholic theology by the standard of the Bible. Previously, I had always judged the Bible by Roman Catholic doctrine and theology," (p. 53).
Mass contrary to Scripture. "In my letter of resignation from the Roman Catholic Church and Ministry, I stated to the bishop that I was leaving the priesthood because I could no longer offer the Mass as it was contrary to the Word of God and to my conscience," (pp. 54-55).
Charles Berry. He entered the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine and became a priest after 17 years. He was given orders to continue studying until he achieved a Ph.D. in chemistry and was then "transferred to the headquarters of the Augustinian order in the United States."
Superstition. "In the United States the Roman Catholic Church is on its best behavior, putting its best foot forward because of its critics and opponents. In a Roman Catholic country--where it has few opponents or critics--it is a very different matter. Ignorance and superstition and idolatry are everywhere, and little effort, if any, is made to change the situation. Instead of following the Christianity taught in the Bible, the people concentrate on the worship of statues and their local patron saints," (p. 59).
Idols and Statues. "When I met in Cuba, a genuine pagan who worshiped idols (a religion transplanted from Africa by his ancestors), I asked how he could believe that a plaster idol could help him. He replied that the idol was not expected to help him. It only represented the power in heaven which could. What horrified me about his reply was that it was almost word for word the explanation Roman Catholics give for rendering honor to the statues of the saints," (p. 59).
Bob Bush. He went to a Jesuit Seminary and studied for 13 years before being ordained in 1966. He entered a post graduate program in Rome.
Works: "When I entered the order, the first thing that happened was that I was told I had to keep all the rules and regulations, that to do so would be pleasing to God, and that this was what he wanted for me. We were taught the motto, 'Keep the rule and the rule will keep you,'" (p. 66).
Salvation is by faith: "It took me many years to realize that I was compromising by staying in the Roman Catholic Church. Throughout all those years, I continued to stress that salvation is only in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and not in the infant baptism--that there is only one source of authority which is the Bible, the Word of God and that there is no purgatory but rather that when we die to either go to heaven or hell," (p. 69).
Salvation by works: "The Roman Catholic Church then goes on to say that in order to be saved you must keep its laws, rules and regulations. And in these laws are violated (for example, laws concerning birth control or fasting or attendance at Mass every Sunday), then you have committed a sin . . . 'individual and integral confession and absolution constitute the only ordinary way by which the faithful person who was aware of serious sin can be reconciled with God, and with the church,'" (Canon 9609, p. 75).

So, Anon 2:01 PM and 2:31 PM, if you are part of that Romish Institution to which I sadly once belonged (and, through cultural conditioning, still deal with the residue of it... other former Catholics I am sure will understand what I mean), I urge you to come out of her and earnestly search the Scriptures and cry unto the Lord with a repentant and humble spirit for Him to reveal Himself to you, so you too may know the very real presence of the Lord, not found in any ceremony or wafer but in a sentient and spiritual revealing of Himself to you, and have a relationship with him! You must be born again!

Poor job of yours, Anon 9:01 PM
You see, 9:01 PM you heartless blind man, this is what Matt Slick himself says about the issue of his daughter:
"Also, it pains me greatly to say that my oldest daughter has become an atheist. I've grieved over this, especially since my wife and I raised her in a Christian home. We taught her the gospel, and I provided answers to difficult questions over the years as we would have devotions at the dinner table. But God has not yet given her the grace of redemption. So, I continue to love her and pray for her. I bring this up because westoftherockies (like the atheists, Mormons, and Roman Catholics) have tried to use this tragedy to mock me, tease, and ridicule. westoftherockies joined in this mockery--as you'll read below. Sad. Perhaps he doesn't have children and is unaware of the grieving and pain that any Christian parent would have over the spiritual loss of a child. I don't know. But still, he tried to use it against me. Jesus said, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks," (Matt. 12:34). What is in his heart that he would seek to use a child against her parent?"
""Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires," (Gal. 5:19-24)."
