Bad Songs, Negligent Parents and the Kids.



I've always wondered at two things about celebrities:
1.) The common sense behind taking the shirt off while performing. Was the performance "so good" that these artistes opted to leave the stage half naked? I think not! I don't also think it is the "heat" on stage. If their song is that  "hot", let them sing with a hand fan for the sake of modesty. I pity the souls who watch them either on TV or Live on Stage.
2.)  The reason or essence of signing autographs on the skin. The anti-catholic will see nothing wrong in signing even on the forehead; but wait till he sees the ash rubbed on the forehead of a devout catholic on ash wednesday... we become pagans!
I'll suspend the second and face the first.

The immodest behaviours(such as taking off clothes), immodest fashions, provocative dances, are simply the demands of bad or immoral songs. A good song wouldn't entertain these unchristian acts.
Watching or listening to immoral songs is bad enough, but exposing our kids to them - oh! that is worse. We may "verbally" disapprove these songs, but being negligent as regards to the songs listened to or sang by the kids is a serious offence.
As a result of indifference and negligence to immoral songs, we barely  have good christian music in homes especially when compared to the availability of the bad ones in our homes.
Ask a child of 6 years old to name his best 5 songs. Go to our catholic homes, and find out how many kids who could sing "O sanctissima", "Ave Maria, Our Noble Queen", or any traditional catholic song.
This reminds me of a story written by Burpo and Vincent - Heaven is for real. A boy who is believed to have seen Jesus Christ and the angels, was asked by the angels what song he will like them to sing for him. The poor child simply sang, "We will, We will Rock You." Kindly note that this child is from a staunchly protestant family.
How do we fight against the immoral fashions and dances of the young ones without taking a firm stand against bad songs and artistes.
Music cultures the mind. The rise of these empty and immoral songs has given birth to a generation of immoral and immature adults. Considering the deplorable state of the world, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
Kyrie Eleison.

Galileo and the False Accusations against the Catholic Church

Image
The Catholic Church being divine in institution is human in its instrumentality, therefore one would not expect its members to be perfect. As Ernest Hull S.J. puts it, "The Church is the school of the imperfect." If all men were perfect, there would be no need instituting a church. If there exist cases where the ever Church passed judgement in error, the case of Galileo is definitely NOT one of them. Sadly the Church is falsely accused, not just by Protestants but also by "Catholics" who tend to deny the dogma of Papal Infallibility and the papal impostor John Paul II falsely called "saint"  didn't seem to help matters in 1992. Although the Body of Christ - the Church - endures a litany of accusations regarding this issue, this article will refute the following errors: 1.) Galileo was persecuted by the Church for teaching Heresy, 2.) Considering the Galileo case, the Pope can never be infallible, 3.) This was a case of  "Science vs Theolo...

Deliver Them From Francis!

Image
Recently, Nope Francis  called for a change in translation of a phrase about temptation in the Lord's prayer. His suggestion was to use "do not let us fall into temptation" instead of "lead us not into temptation." According to him it should be, "Do not let me fall into temptation because it is I who fall, it is not God who throws me into temptation and then sees how I fall." He affirmed that "lead us not into temptation" is not a good translation. To a liberal or Novus Ordo Catholic, there is nothing wrong with the suggestion; but on the contrary, there is a problem. First, from the above statement, Francis is implying that God does not lead a soul to temptation. Secondly, his statement expresses  a total disregard, if not disbelief, in the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding the aforementioned phrase. Before stating my points, the following must be made clear. 1.)Temptation is simply a solicitation to evil, hence one can be...

Sins Against the Holy Ghost - Not Forgiven! - explanations.

Image
In giving explanations I will only stick to the basics , the reason being that I have no intention to present a theological treatise(of which I'm not even capable of.) The aim is to dispel the falsehoods and half-truths circulated in the Vatican II or Novus Ordo sect. In Matthew 12:32, it is written; "who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven either in this age, or in the next."  The Catholic Church presents the following as sins against the Holy Spirit: 1. Despair 2. Presumption 3. Impenitence 4. Obstinacy 5. Resisting the Known Truth 6. Envy of our brother's spiritual good Looking at the  above mentioned sins, one cannot say that he is entirely innocent of these sins. People sometimes lose hope in God's mercy (despair) while others presume and some others envy their brother's spiritual good. Does this mean that they have sinned against the Holy Spirit? Is all hope is lost for those who - still alive - has blasphemed against the H...
