John Paul II is NOT the "Word of the Lord"
As the Vicar of Christ, John Paul II had his eyes as the Holy See and his mouth as the Infallible Word (Autocratic Encyclicals,Papal Bulls, Papal Dictatorial Orders via the CDF Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith...) shut to the least and most vulnerable brethren of Christ, the children - those thousands of altar boys and little girls, 12,000 Americans, and still counting who were sexually abused by his JPIIPPA John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.
John Paul II the Great Deceiver led the cover-up of the most heinous crime of priest pedophilia against children within the Catholic Church in the history of the modern world.
We must forever remember the CRIMES and their VICTIMS in America:
Pearl Harbor - 3,000 victims - 170 planes - Admiral Yamamoto
9/11 WTC - 5,000 victims - 19 Muslims attackers- Osama ben Laden
Priest Pedophilia - 12,000 victims - 5,149 Catholic priests attackers - John Paul II
Someday, we should build a museum and memorial in their honor in America. There is the Pearl Harbor Museum. Soon there will be the 9/11 & WTC Museum and Memorial......therefore there should also be the SNAP Museum and Memorial of American victims of JPIIPPA John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.
A real saint would be able to smell sin as if it were a skunk from a mile away like John the Baptist saw and dared spell out the sin of Herod in public (Of course it cost him his head served on a platter). But John Paul II only covered-up the sin or skunk of priest pedophilia within the Vatican and the Catholic Church for over a quarter of a Century.(Of course his papal head will be crowned with the halo of canonization). And today, that stinking smell of priests sex abuse scandal has cost the American Church over a billion dollars, and still counting. As the CEO of the Catholic Church and the Catholic Bishops Conference, John Paul II should be held accountable for his cover-up, which is a crime, and posthumously, he should be condemned... and not canonized.
In the late 1980s a group of American Jesuit scholars founded the John Paul II Jesuit Symposium -- a biennial conference devoted to the teaching of John Paul II. http://www.ignatius.com/Magazines/hprweb/bk_koterski.htm
They have a book that adulate the Pope as if he were the "Word of God". http://www.amazon.com/Prophecy-Diplomacy-Doctrine-Jesuit-Symposium/dp/0823219755
Perhaps these Jesuits should spend more their time applying the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola and discerning -- how on earth - in the 26 years papacy of John Paul II - the second longest reigning Pope in the 2,000 years of Christendom -- did he miss out completely -- writing, teaching, and most of all, stopping the "worst evil" (his own papal word) - the priest pedophilia that was seething right under his holy eyes and holy nose. He was powerful as Pope, but the record shows, he did it his papal way, he did NOTHING for 26 years.
But instead of using the Spiritual Exercises, these Jesuits scholars in prominent American universities - are preaching John Paul II's teachings as if he was the Word of the Lord and feeding them to young students and Catholics worldwide. They are like cooks in a kitchen who keep stirring a huge pot of rotten skunk soup and feeding it to multitudes.
John Paul II kissed babies and children for his political photo-op. But papal action speaks louder than his words. While he kissed babies of rich parents who could afford to pay off the Cardinals to go near him, he literally abandoned the thousands of poor little boys and girls being sexually abused by his thousands of pedophile priests. (See his JPIIPPA John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army - www.jp2army.blogspot.com)
So these Jesuits are perpetuating John Paul II the Great Deceiver and his papal-cover-up of priest pedophilia in their biennial conference.
They are treating John Paul II as if he were he were the 'Word of the Lord' and the modern day Jeremiah.
Sherlock Holmes wrote this letter below to a priest recently and the questions and observations he poses can be addressed to the Jesuits as well and to the "Ghetto Catholics who pray, pay and obey".
Dear Fr. Paul,
Jeremiah: 1:4-5,17-19
"The word of the LORD came to me, saying: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.
But do you gird your loins; stand up and tell them all that I command you. Be not crushed on their account, as though I would leave you crushed before them; for it is I this day who have made you a fortified city, a pillar of iron, a wall of brass, against the whole land: against Judah’s kings and princes, against its priests and people. They will fight against you but not prevail over you, for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD."
I came away from listening to this first reading asking myself how it is that the USCCB chooses these passages…to which the ‘faithful’ drone in unison at the conclusion thereof….“This is the word of the Lord”.
I am struck by the mind numbing out-of-touch……out-of- reality….out of relationship context to one’s life these supposed words of the prophet (?) Jeremiah { thought to be 626 BCE, before the common era} have or perhaps fail to have when one thinks about what the USCCB is offering to its listeners through this reading.
Without being too crass I said to myself….‘garbage’.
How does one interpret these words?….. “it is I this day who have made you a fortified city, a pillar of iron, a wall of brass, against the whole land: against Judah’s kings and princes, against its priests and people. They will fight against you but not prevail over you, for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD”.
I watch as they file in…some genuflect before entering the pew….others amble over to the statute of the “most sacred heart” kneel, take out a coin deposit it, light a stick from an existing votive then light another and bless themselves and momentarily later, retreating to a pew content or fulfilled I suppose that by depositing a coin, lighting a votive and kneeling before a statue whilst reciting some prayer and no doubt a plea as well, that this practise offers some measure of hope that their prayer and plea has somehow quasi-liturgically been faxed to the recipient.
Almost reminds me of the Hindu practise of Puja, where one chants prayers to the statue of a god or goddess, offering the deity a seat, washing its feet, and giving it water….even going so far as to bathe and clothe the image in new garments, embellished with ornaments, perfumes and flowers placed before it. Sometimes incense is burned, or a lighted lamp is waved in front of the deity. Foods such as cooked rice, fruit, butter, and sugar are offered. Family members bow before the image, and sip { similar to blessing (?) themselves with Holy (?) water } the water they have given the god, and receive a portion of cooked food. The food and water are now considered to have been blessed by the deity for the devotees.
Then, whence the Catholic service commences…. again in unison, the prayers are droned…and at the instance of the recitation of the Gospel virtually the entire assemblage makes a sign of the cross with the back of the thumb mindlessly….routinely on their foreheads, lips and heart, always the thumb and just as always the back thereof - further evidence of the spontaneous, instinctive almost involuntary nature of this gesture.
At the conclusion of the service they shuffle out….many dipping their fingers into the holy water for one last blessing…..all of it by the way, done in an seemingly unconscious repetitious manner that always makes me wonder about the whole process…from start to finish.
It reminds me of the “drill” that takes place daily on every dairy farm across this country…as the herd makes it way, in the same “pecking order” worked out among the animals, to the “milking parlor” twice daily, 12 hours apart…without being summoned, exactly at the same time each day without watches or clocks…consistently and regularly day in and day out….truly amazing to see….all without the prompting of a bell….the summoning call of a “herdsman” or any other contrivance….just plain simple unwitting, thoughtless, routine behavior….a regimen so ingrained that 7 days a week and 52 a year they make the journey from meadow to milking parlor twice at the very same time daily, save those who periodically are “dried up” before being “freshened again”….farm lingo.
I dare not share my opinions with fellow parishioners out of respect for their feelings and sensibilities. They are after all good people trying as best as one can to lead the Christian life within the context of their upbringing……the familiarity of the Catholic experience.
Indeed when invited to pray for my own intentions after “we pray to the Lord”…I often ask that my heart be not hardened…or that I be forgiven for my somber callousness.
Yet, through it all I keep coming back to desperate feeling of wondering when if ever the Council of Priests Federations will stand up and petition the Bishops to overhaul the liturgy of this staid Church….realizing at the same time the enormous conflicts that resulted with previous changes, English language supplanting the Latin mass, altar and priest reversed, sign of peace the advent of ‘altar girls’ etc.
Jeremiah is in my opinion not the Word of the Lord.
At best it is possibly a centuries old, oft altered interpretation of the Jewish religious experience from an area of the world where prophecy and religious fanaticism abound….from the earliest of times BCE, to the present day as one sees the orthodox believers swaying to and fro in front of the ‘wailing wall’ wearing one Tefillin or Phylactery on the forehead with another, the ‘shel yad’, strapped to the arm, each containing passages of the Torah.
The same can be said with many other parts of the ‘old testament ’….so why does the Church continue to trot out these meaningless, nonsensical pages of that BCE experience as relevant to the destiny of today’s believer’s seeking salvation within the context of the rejavascript:void(0)
Publishal world, not the world of prophecy and hokum?
