CATHOLIC POLAND -
ANOTHER DISASTERS
I should like to relate, and share with you, my recent experience of
a visit to Poland, a First Holy Communion event, completely
disappointing.
Seven or eight years ago, Margaret Burgstaller, one of our readers,
who has now returned to her native Australia, warned me that the Church
in Poland was going the way of the West.
When the Iron Curtain came down in 1989, traditional Catholic Poland
welcomed with open arms modernism. Some parishes, led by elderly
priests, who had suffered during World War II, refused to compromise
their love and respect for God. However, when they retired or died, the
new younger broom came and showed the parishioners what "freedom" and
"democracy" meant.
And it did not only affect priests. Bishops were, and are, just as
guilty. What I witnessed convinced me that Catholic Poland is just
another piece in the mosaic of the Church's downfall.
I should have expected Poland to be loyal to Pope and Tradition -
wrong. The modern razzamatazz and usual dictatorial attitude by bishops
and priests now prevail.
A year ago, last summer, a father wrote to the Archbishop of Gniezno,
Central Poland, that he wanted his daughter to receive her First Holy
Communion kneeling, and on the tongue.
The reason for his request was that the new parish priest had taken
over the local parish, and introduced Communion standing. In the past,
all of the parishioners knelt at the altar rails. Holy Communion was
administered on the tongue by priests of that large parish.
The new parish priest, however, without consultation, and without
prior announcement, enforced his own ideas on the parishioners, young
and old, whereby kneeling at the altar rails was no longer required for
Holy Communion. Instead, everybody had to stand in conveyor belt
fashion, in order to receive Holy Communion from priests standing in
front of the altar rails. However, the priests kept the paten, and
administered the Host on the tongue.
This change came, of course, as a surprise to the parish. But it
reminded me of my own parish priest, when he replaced our Canon. He used
the Mass during the week to "instruct" the few present to stand, receive
Communion in the hand, or on the tongue, and no longer kneel at the
rails. The brainwashed faithful -weekday group, consisting of loyal yet
gullible women, then became the focal point for other parishioners to do
the same during Sunday Mass.
Priests and bishops blatantly ignore the directive by POPE PAUL VI,
who stated that EVERY CATHOLIC HAS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHETHER TO
RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION KNEELING, ON THE TONGUE, AND WITH THE PATEN UNDER
HIS OR HER CHIN, OR STANDING (Communion on the tongue or in the
hand).
And the Pope added that he personally recommended the custom as
practiced be fore, i.e. Communion kneeling and on the tongue, and not as
requested by modernist bishops (Instructio Memoriale Domini; May 1963).
The Pope did not agree with the bishops' requests. He said: "Nobody
can be forced to accept the new form of Communion." He insisted on
severe conditions, and put the responsibility squarely on the shoulders
of the bishops. But priests and bishops ignore the conditions.
And on 11th October, 1974, Pope Paul VI declared: "You must
live your faith, and practice your religion as it was taught to you and
as you were raised. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CONFUSIONS! The Holy See
reminds all bishops, priests and the faithful to continue with and
adhere to the well tried rule of receiving Communion kneeling and on the
tongue, herewith affirmed once again."
The choice of reception, however, is autocratically denied to the
faithful by priests and bishops. Did you ever hear a priest or bishop
informing you of the directive by Pope Paul VI that you have a choice,
and what the Pope's recommendation was? Of course not. They are more
concerned with doing their own thing.
The clergy ignores the directive of Pope Paul VI, deceives the
faithful, misguides them, and introduces new liberal changes and
gimmicks as they see fit.
Abandon Tradition - long live the abuses of Vatican II.
Going back to the parent's letter to the Archbishop for his daughter
to receive her First Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue. The
latter ignored it and passed it on to that local parish priest for him
to deal with it. The Archbishop showed his cowardice; he did not want to
make a decision although he is responsible for the priests in his
archdiocese.
The parish priest sent a long letter to the father, quoting Vatican
II, and justifying the new changes in the church. Privately he said that
traditional Catholics are like Islamic extremists. This means that
traditional Catholics are now compared to the terrorists of Islam!
Blessed are those who suffer in the name of God!
However, the father fought back, quoting the Bible (scandalizing
little children...); Pope Paul VI: the parents right to choose;
La Salette; and MARY'S statement at Eisenberg in Austria: "NEVER ACCEPT
COMMUNION STANDING AND IN THE HAND. IT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF MY SON!
IT IS A SIN AND MUST BE CONFESSED."
The famous French author, Lean Bloy, wrote about the apparitions of
Mary at La Salette: "And then men got up. They wore the miter on their
head, and held the shepherd's crook in their hand to guide the flock of
Christ. And they told Our Blessed Lady: "But enough is enough!
Understood? A woman is to remain silent in church. We are the bishops;
we are the doctors of the Church! And we don't need anyone, not even
such persons that are from God! And we do not want a rebellion among the
people! Your threats don't bother us in the least. And your seers will
receive from us nothing but contempt, persecution, and oblivion until
their dying age. "
So this Polish parish priest began to complain now. He cannot
administer First Holy Communion to a girl, who kneels, whilst all the
other 74 children, who receive their First Holy Communion, will stand.
I say: Whose daughter is it any way? And whose fault is it in the
first place? The archbishop and the parish priest are responsible! Who
is acting in a dictatorial manner? Priest and a cowardly archbishop!
What Catholic person knows of his right to choose the manner of
receiving his Holy Communion?
Insist on your papal right! Your personal right exists! But priests
and bishops prefer to keep the faithful in the dark.
True to the behavior of priests and bishops nowadays, the parish
priest ignored the plea of the father, and his daughter had to receive
Communion standing, and on the tongue, together with the other 74 boys
and girls.
Dictatorship for the worse in the Catholic Church!
Vatican II is nothing to boast about. It has done more harm than good
- thanks to the Masonic influence of Cardinal Villot of the Vatican,
Cardinal Konig of Austria, and Cardinal J. Doepfner of Germany, an
affirmed Freemason, who presided over Vatican IL When he saw the
consequences, he said: "Get rid of Communion in the hand. "
The introduction of Communion in the hand and standing began under
Paul VI but which the Pope himself rejected as practically questionable,
dangerous, and as an abuse. He bore witness to this fact a few hours
prior to his death on August 6, 1978: Holy Mass was celebrated in his
room. He rises from his bed, kneels, and receives Holy Communion on the
tongue.
I have come to the conclusion that when a priest studies theology
-what kind of theology, I ask myself?" other subjects to be studied are:
singing lessons, music, guitar playing, drama. Because this is what
First Holy Communion in Poland is all about - at least in the
Archdiocese of Gniezno, First Holy Communion in Poland is a stage
production for priests, especially for those singing, eager
guitar-strumming priests, who were denied a pop star or stage career.
First Holy Communion is a quasi pop concert. Priest with microphone,
amplifiers, moving between aisles, singing, accompanied by the children,
rhythmical beat songs (hymns) ending in a crescendo of screaming
children, neither harmonic nor melodic.
The First Holy Communicants, during this sing-song or
sing-along-with-the-priest, act out the words, waving their arms and
hands in the air, make rhythmical body movements, clap their hands, and
stamp their feet enthusiastically and rhythmically on the church floor.
Of course, the nuns acted accordingly, moving their bodies in tune
with the beat. All that was missing was a big band and a raised stage!
This is First Holy Communion Polish style today. But from what I
gather, the West in general is not far behind. The Polish disciple
cannot be better than the master in the West.
Jesus said: "My House is a House of Prayer. " What has such a show to
do with reverence and prayer?
The nuns, who are supposed to keep an eye on the children - after
all, they taught and prepared the children for First Holy Communion -
could not maintain discipline. The boys in particular kept changing pews
and walking to their parents. Discipline left something to be desired.
At the end, the parish priest handed each child a certificate of his
or her First Holy Communion. But the priest expected a kiss from the
girls, so each girl had to kiss him on the cheek.
Can you remember your First Holy Communion? Did you ever experience
such spectacle in your youth? I didn't, thank God!
And then, of course, there is the concession for selected
photographers and camcorders. All the time during this ceremony -or
spectacle- the two cameras were rolling and photographs were taken. And
so as to remind each child of how First Holy Communion was received,
each one was photographed receiving Holy Communion from the priest,
standing and on the tongue. Each photo was later sold for £2.50 but in a
most disorderly manner.
What I also disliked was the fact that the guitar-strumming, singing
priest commenced his next beat song as soon as the last Communion child
had received its Holy Communion, leaving no time for prayer, meditation,
giving thanks, when the first number of boys and girls blared out their
song thus putting pressure on the other Communicants to quickly join in.
Personally speaking, such Holy Communion is an offence to God, an
insult. It is, plainly speaking, a scandal. Those of us who can remember
their First Holy Communion and lived through the reigns of Pope Pius XI,
Pius XII, and John XXIII, can only raise their voices to God and implore
Him to put an end to this circus, the abuses, offences, insults, the
deceit.
Whilst the gates of hell will not overcome His Church, it will only
be the tiny number of Catholics that remain steadfast to the Traditions
of the Church who will save, by the Grace of Jesus and His Holy Mother,
the true Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church.
But we ought to remember also what has already been written:
The American Jesuit, Dr. Malachy Martin, who counselled three Popes
and belonged to the Vatican's secret, service, published several books
about the crisis in the Catholic Church. In his book "The Fall and
Disintrigration Of The Catholic Church" (1985), Fr. Malachy Martin
describes the fateful mistakes of John XXIII and Paul VI as well as the
unsuccessful attempts of John Paul II to end the tragedy of the Catholic
Church. The Church is infiltrated and ruled by enemies, so that the Pope
is no longer able to steer the ship into a different direction.
Never since the figure of Nimrod in the Old Testament, and the Tower
of Babel, have the elite of power given up their feverish dream to
pursue an one-world government.
Father Malachy wrote a book called "The Windswept House", which
provides us with a horrible vision behind the Scenery. There is a
conspiracy of Vatican insiders who, with the help of the Catholic
Church, want to establish a base on which to build a new
political-religious world order: the global one-world government of
Lucifer.
The beginning of the book, written in great detail, mentions a
ceremony in the Vatican in 1963 which is nothing but a ritual of the
occult to enthrone Lucifer, the highest yet fallen angel, as the leader
of the Roman Catholic Church.
Prior to his death at the end of July, 1999, Father Malachy was
interviewed, and asked:
"Father Martin, do you realty believe that this enthronement took
place? In other words, is your book nothing but fiction, and not a
factual report?"
"Yes. The enthronement of Lucifer took place, " replied Father Martin
emphatically. "There is no doubt about it. Only place, time, hour, etc.
were changed in the book by me, in order to protect the guilty and save
the innocents. "
"Was this event at the time known to everybody in the Vatican?"
"No, it was not generally known! " explains Father Martin, "but I
found out because I was a privileged member of Vatican circles who had
knowledge of it."
"Does this mean that readers must deduce that whatever happens, Pope
and hierarchy are forced to serve the fallen angel?"
"No, it is no so," declared Father Martin. "Enthronement does not
mean he now rules everything. It means they did everything possible to
bring him to this position. Of course, it would be ideal if they could
enthrone their man as the pope. If this were the case, then, indeed,
Satan would realty be the ruler. "
The children Melanie and Maximin saw Our Blessed Lady weeping in
La Salette in 1846. She said:
"Yes, the life of priests is calling for vengeance, and vengeance is
hovering over their heads... God will punish in a way never experienced
before. Woe to the people on earth! God will pour out His whole anger,
and nobody will be able to escape the many scourges. The superiors' the
leaders of the people of God, neglected prayers and penance, and the
demon has darkened their mind. They have become these erring stars which
the old devil will sweep away with his tail, in order to destroy them."
Note: these erring, failing stars around the ecclesiastical leaders,
of whom the Queen of the Apostles speaks in
La Salette, are mentioned in
the Apocalypse of St. John at the beginning of Chapter 12. Their number
is, indeed, numerous. A third of the stars is swept into the abyss by
the dragon - Lucifer doing battle against Mary, the Sign of God. They
are those priests and bishops who closed their eyes to the greatest
signs of our time. They knew the messages of their Queen Mary, given at
the great holy places of apparition, but they classified them as
non-binding, private revelations.
Instead of defending these heavenly plans of salvation, to preach on
and circulate them, one left it to the faithful to decide their
authenticity and thus handed them over to the ridicule of public
opinion. These beautiful pearls were fed to the pigs, and one should not
be surprised if Satan is given the power to establish his throne in the
Vatican.
Darkness is growing more and more, and extinguishes the True Light in
the hearts of the people.
This is already visible in the horrible destruction committed
everywhere in sacred places: irreverent Communion standing and in the
hand. Take my own parish priest, who, when he took over from our Canon,
"modernized" the church and put into practice Communion standing and in
the hand.
Recently, during a Requiem Mass, he invited all, including
non-Catholics, to come and receive Holy Communion. What sacrilege!
Darkness has taken over.
Where in Canon Law is it written that non-Catholics can receive Holy
Communion? No Pope has allowed this. In fact, it is not even a valid
obligation if a Catholic attends a Church of England service on a
Sunday.
The blessed German Augustine nun. Sister Anna Catherine Emmerich, saw
in her many visions the great destruction of the Church by the spiritual
antichrist.
She said: "I saw a very great many atrocities committed; I recognized
Rome and saw the Church being attacked from the inside and from the
outside; she was sinking...
"Then I saw above the now small Church a beautiful woman in a-wide,
sky-blue mantle with a crown of stars on her head. A light emanated from
her and pierced the darkness. Everything became new and blossomed where
the light had penetrated... The new apostles all gathered in the light."
Explanation: The small Church represents the few loyal, genuine
Catholics, who seek refuge and protection under Mary's mantle, and Whose
Light enlightens and guides them.
"I saw, "continued Anna Catherine, "people continuously breaking off
large parts of St. Peter's, and saw a horrible beast with them which had
risen from the sea. It had a tail like a fish, claws like a lion, and
many heads which stood like a crown around its large head. Its large
mouth was red. Its markings were that of a tiger, and it was very
familiar with those who were destroying the Church. It would often lie
among the people while they worked. The people would also walk into the
cave where the beast would hide occasionally."
Explanation: The seer relates how the beast of the Apocalypse
(Revelation 13) is working together with the workers who destroy the
Church. She sees the Vatican, and how the black After church
(Freemasonry) is growing. In this battle in the Church, the beast is
meeting Mary, the Lady of the Apocalypse. SHE was shown to Anna
Catherine because She was blessed with child (Revelation 12). Mary's
prayer made Satan flee.
Anna Catherine relates:
"...The enemies now became frightened; the beast could not move
another step. With its neck extended it looked furiously at the Woman as
if it were going to swallow Her. But the Woman turned and fell down onto
Her face. I now saw the beast fleeing towards the sea; the enemies were
running about in all directions, confused and mixed up.
"In a vision last night I saw the Pope, and St. Francis carrying the
Church, and then I saw St. Peter's being carried on the shoulders of a
little man with a Jewish face. Mary stood on the north side of the
Church, and protected her with Her Mantle. The little man seemed to be
collapsing. He was a layman, known to me.
"The twelve, whom I always see as the new apostles, were supposed to
help him, but they were moving too slowly. He seemed to sink when they
finally reached him and helped carry the Church; and many angels came
and helped, too. What was left of the Church were the foundation and the
part at the back. The Church had been destroyed by the Secret Society
(Freemasons) and the clerics. The Church was removed to another place,
and it seemed as if several palaces were bowing before them like fields
of ripe corn... and I saw my Heavenly Bridegroom as a young man. He
spoke with me for a long time. He also said that the removal of the
Church seemed to indicate that she was about to sink; however, she was
resting on these bearers, and would grow again through them. Even if
only one Catholic would remain, the Church will be victorious again,
for she is not founded in the understanding and reason of people."
Explanation: the removal of the Church from Rome means that the
blessing also left Rome. The bearers of the Church are tools of Mary,
Her chosen souls. The little man with Jewish features resembles the
apostles in the upper room. He is the apostle of Mary and must carry out
the unadulterated Teaching of Her Son.
"Above St. Peter, I saw a higher world. I saw the Holy Trinity in
three persons. Mary stood in the middle above St. Michael. Mary was
surrounded by countless circles of bright souls, angels, and virgins.
"As soon as the Tabernacle was erected, I saw it grow into a Church,
and then into a large, brilliant city by reason of Mary's graces from
above, and with a manifold effect coming for all the heavens, and by the
diligent work of all the nine angelic choirs. The city was slowly coming
down from Heaven. It was as if it was coming down to earth in an arc.
And I don't know how it was, but I saw huge crowds of people, and then
they stood in the New Jerusalem, this new city, which came to rest on
the Old Jerusalem which seemed to surface. This ended my vision."
Explanation: This vision resembles St. John's Apocalypse, Rev. 21 and
22. The Roman-Catholic Church will be renewed through Mary. Mystically,
the Church is on a higher, perfect level. Hell is fighting against the
radical change.
"In another vision, I saw an immense battle being fought. The battle
field was covered in smoke. Soldiers were shooting from all directions.
The field was lying low, and I saw many large cities in the distance.
"I saw St. Michael arriving with a large army of angels. They
dispersed the fighters. But this will only happen when all seems to be
lost. A leader will call on St. Michael, and then victory will be
established. " |
