Dear brothers, dear sisters, dear friends,
During our life on Earth there are days when the wish awakens to retreat
somewhat more from the doings of daily life, in order to think about oneself or
about the situation in our world.
The alert person is characterized by the fact that he is not satisfied with the
superficiality of life, but finds out the why of his daily life and of the
events of the day and draws his own conclusions from this. The one who analyzes
his way of feeling, thinking and acting self-critically and puts into practice
what he has recognized from this, in order to do justice to higher ethical-moral
standards in the future, also attains the ability to see clearly what is going
on around him and in the world.
Such an alert contemporary shapes his life instead of letting himself be shaped
and formed, that is, be indoctrinated and conformed, as it were. He makes use of
his freedom to think and decide for himself. He does not let go of the rudder of
his life in order to run, dull, blind and deaf like a lemming, with the masses
to that place where others want to have him.
When we start to analyze ourselves, then often the word “why?” comes up as a
central issue in our self-critique. For instance, we ask ourselves: “Why am I
for the one person and less for the other or even against him?” But life also
confronts us with other questions that go beyond the very personal: Why are
there these and those conditions in the world? Why wars, if we of the western
world are really Christians? Why terror, murder and manslaughter, if we are
Christian? Why must Mother Earth unendingly suffer through us humans? Why do
many insulting words contain the names of animals, for often one hears, for
instance, “You silly goose,” “You stupid cow,” “You ass,” “You pig!” and much
more?
To all this one could lightly say: “That’s a reflection of the decline of all
values and morals in our world.” This answer does come close and is not wrong,
but it hardly brings us any further. Instead, it would be advisable to ask
further: “Why is this so?” and to include ourselves in the question as well: “Do
I also contribute to this?” And: “Why do I do this?” The little word “why” is a
central issue over and over again; ultimately, we are always confronted with it.
Younger people pass over world situations as well as personal matters and
difficulties more easily and quickly. I compare many a young person with a
waterfall. Those who are growing up have their future before them. There are
many things that they have not yet experienced. From this, grow desires for the
future and longings, which considering their youth is completely natural.
But an older person often makes a review and asks himself, for instance: Why did
my life on Earth go the way it did and not according to my wishes? Why did fate
afflict me in particular? Why didn’t I attain this or that? An elderly person is
largely occupied with personal matters. And many a news report from the world
gives him cause to think about whether the world was a better place in earlier
times than today.
I, too, thought about this and looking back, I can say that I experienced and
learned about many things; it was not always nice. But as the speaking
instrument of the Lord, my review is more concerned with the past 2000 years. In
this, I think again and again of Jesus, the Christ, our Redeemer, whose name has
been flagrantly abused by many people, above all by the church institutions and
their representatives for nearly 2000 years. And spontaneously, the thought that
comes up is how long can this still last – for the law of sowing and reaping, as
we know, balances out everything quite justly.
And so, I invite you, dear friends, to go with me through a short review. Let us
go through a brief sketch of the development of the history of the church over
the past centuries, and above all, throw a light on the present situation, the
behavior patterns and statements of high-ranking church representatives, which
could help many to see things in a clearer light.
The decline of all morals and values began with Constantine, who “raised” the
“Christian” church to a state church, and made the inner religion of Jesus, the
Christ, into an externalized state religion. The teachings of Jesus, the Christ,
were embellished, diluted, twisted and cut, that is to say, falsified, and are
being trampled underfoot right up until today.
The name of Christ was taken – one calls oneself “Christian” – but His teaching,
His message, was subjugated to the power interests of an institution, which did
not act in His spirit, but in opposition to it. The development of the entire
“Christian” western world and consequently, of the rest of the world as well,
followed accordingly. Many people had to suffer, in part considerably: directly
through the Crusades, through the ecclesiastical terrorism of conquest, through
a missionary activity that very often respected neither the freedom and the life
of individual fellow men nor the developed culture of a people, and indirectly
through the influence of the “Christian world” on other countries of the Earth.
Often I have thought that if the behavior of mankind, especially that of the
Christian western world, stays the same, then Jesus, the Christ, would have come
into the world in vain. But that need not be feared, for His words – even just
those that the Bible passes on truthfully in their essence – are unmistakable.
At some point, we know they will come into effect. He said, for example:
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me
scatters.”
Or: “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit
you out of my mouth.”
Or, as it says: “... it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for someone who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.”
Or, as Jesus said: “... many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
your name ...?’ ...Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from
me, you evil-doers.’ ”
When one thinks about the fact that for nearly 2000 years, Jesus, the Christ,
has been referred to as the initiator of the Christian religion, and when the
attentive contemporary of today draws his conclusions based on what has become
of it after what for us humans is a long time, then a shaking of heads, a
feeling of alienation or even perplexity is practically inevitable. Many a
person who compares the teaching of the Nazarene – for example, the Sermon on
the Mount – with church doctrine as well as with the cruel history of the church
and then finally takes a look at the disaster in the world may irritably ask
himself: Did Jesus live at all? Or is He perhaps no more than a symbolic
artifact of the so-called Christian churches?
No matter how the individual may think about it, few have really followed the
teachings of Jesus, the Christ, least of all the church institutions, whether
they call themselves Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox. When we compare the
teachings of Jesus, the Christ, with church doctrines and the behavior of church
“dignitaries,” who let themselves be addressed with “excellency,” eminence,”
bishop,” “pastor” and “priest,” all the way to the so-called “Holy Father,” then
it not only looks pretty dismal in the Christianity of the church, but downright
dark.
And so, the world was no better earlier; it was just that not so much came to
light. But ever since Constantine, the “Christian” state church – and later its
offshoots – has truly darkened the teachings of Jesus, the Christ. And now, the
ecclesiastical darkness is becoming ever more clearly apparent.
During this great turn of time we find ourselves in – and in accordance with the
causal law – the causes set in the past are coming into effect ever more
rapidly. The seeds of millennia are sprouting – it is harvest time. The mighty
cosmic irradiation of the divine primordial light is gradually leading all
density into transformation. The era of the Spirit is dawning. In this world
everything that has been built up and established is becoming increasingly
visible as what it is: either light or dark. What is against the will of God is
losing strength. The negative is exposing itself.
That this is so, dear friends, can clearly be seen in recent statements by Pope
John Paul II, who – like his predecessors – calls himself the representative of
God on Earth and demands that his faithful consider him infallible.
In a German newspaper, DAS BILD from Dec. 13, 2002, we can read the following:
“According to the pope in a general audience before hundreds of faithful, God
has withdrawn into heaven, disgusted with humanity’s actions. God is silent.”
And further, we read: “The pope said: ‘He turns away when man rejects him.’ Only
out of faith, love and trust in God can salvation be expected, and a ‘rock of
salvation’ will become visible. Only the person who turns to him can expect his
‘embrace.’ ”
The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera from Dec. 12, 2003 gave a similar
report. There, they wrote: “In addition to the sword and hunger, there is a
greater tragedy, that of the silence of God who no longer reveals himself and
seems to have withdrawn into his heaven, as if disgusted with humanity’s
behavior.”
Why does the pope say “God is silent”?
We know that God is not silent. At all times He has spoken through enlightened
men and women and He has been speaking His holy word through His instrument, His
prophetess, for 28 years. The pope knows this, too, because in 1980, via a high,
divine spirit being, the Spirit of God turned to the Vatican in a letter, in
which He offered His help to the pope, “in order to save what can still be
saved.” And so, the pope is aware of speaking the untruth.
The backdrop to the statements of the pope are the catastrophic conditions in
the world, which is heading toward a global disaster of dimensions never before
seen, as well as the fatal situation in which the church finds itself today. It
is obvious that in many ways the world is plunging into the abyss, and that as a
result of the increasing loss of faithful and the general decline in trust, the
dominance of the church is disintegrating.
In the German magazine FOCUS no. 52/2002, the renown Protestant professor for
historical theology and denominationalism, Gerhard Besier, wrote the following:
“In 1950 the Lutheran Church in Germany had 43 million members, presently it has
only 26.6 million members. Only a minority of Germans, 39%, according to
information from the Allensbach public-opinion analyst, think that the churches
are making any kind of effort to ‘persuade the people of their faith.’ Such an
establishment does not gain trust. For years the churches have been experiencing
one defeat after the other in opinion polls. Regularly at least a third of those
questioned said they no longer had any trust in the church. Just recently a poll
by the Gallop Institute in America caused a great stir. According to it, the
religious communities in Germany landed in last place on the scales of public
trust in comparison with 16 other public institutions.
Thanks to the collection of church taxes by the state and considerable state
subsidies, the German churches are among the richest in the world; nevertheless
they constantly complain about shrinking income. Not only the high rate of
unemployment, but the increasing age of their members makes things difficult for
them ...”
These facts speak for themselves.
Now, after “the child has already fallen into the well,” the pope capitulates
and passes the blame – just as at all times – onto his fellow man. He, “the Holy
Father,” the “representative of God,” the “shepherd of his flock,” washes his
hands in innocence, just as Pontius Pilate did. As long as the church people
were pliant, as long as the faithful, as denominational lemmings, as
intimidated, controllable subjects, joyfully shouted Hosanna to the regents on
Peter’s chair in Rome, the excellencies and eminencies, and paid their
absolutions from sin and other dues, including their church taxes, like good
subjects, they were the sheep that loyally followed the papal head shepherd, who
graciously received their ovations and deferential obeisance.
Now that more and more sheep are becoming obstinate, now that they no longer
want to be baptized serfs and have revoked their loyalty to the papal
“shepherd,” this “Holy Father” in Rome has branded them as those forsaken by
God.”
For clarification, once more the wording of what was in the newspapers:
DAS BILD from Dec. 13, 2002:“According to the pope in a general audience before
hundreds of faithful, God has withdrawn into heaven, disgusted with humanity’s
actions. God is silent.” And further, it says: “The pope said: ‘He turns away
when man rejects him.’ Only out of faith, love and trust in God can salvation be
expected, and a ‘rock of salvation’ will become visible. Only the person who
turns to him can expect his ‘embrace.’ ”
And in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera from Dec. 12, 2003:“In addition
to the sword and hunger, there is a greater tragedy, that of the silence of God
who no longer reveals himself and seems to have withdrawn into his heaven, as if
disgusted with humanity’s behavior.”
The pope is referring to a passage in the Old Testament and interprets it. It is
quite dramatic. In chapter 14 (especially mentioned are verses 17-21), we read
in Jeremiah that God closes Himself off to His people because it has sinned too
much and too long, and leaves it, as it were, to its effects: the “sword” (war)
and “famine.”
The one who reads in Jeremiah (700 years before Christ) will find that at the
beginning of chapter 15 it is written that the Lord, that is, God, said to
Jeremiah, among other things: “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my
heart would not turn toward this people. Send them out of my sight ...” From
this, it is clearly apparent to anyone who is merely a bit knowledgeable, that
these are some of the many untruths in the Old Testament, falsified by those
whose aim was to present to the people a God to be feared.
But first let us examine the pope’s point of view, for which he certainly has
his reasons. And so, when we follow the pope’s logic, then God had already
withdrawn into heaven back then.
Consequently, He never was in the so-called Christian institutions to begin
with.
The churches can now cleverly argue that through Christ, He came to us again and
established the “Christian church,” which He founded on the rock Rome. When we
think this through in a logical manner the result would be the same again today
as at the time of Jeremiah. Or, in case God never did return since Jeremiah,
then Jesus, the Christ, was also never in the established sham-Christian
churches. The Redeemer-deed of Jesus, the Christ, never settled in a “church
made of stone,” which needs the “houses of God” made of stone, but in the souls
of all people. This is why the person is the temple of God and not the temple or
church of stone.
God never dwelt in churches or temples of stone!
Dear brothers, dear sisters, dear friends, Christ is the only Good Shepherd. As
Jesus, He gave His life for us, His sheep. He snatched us all away from the
“wolf,” by lending us the inextinguishable, supporting and redeeming spark from
His eternal, heavenly heritage, the light in our inner being, in which is He
very close to each one of us. He gives us strength. He comforts, heals and helps
and, in the end, guides every single one home to the Father.
Christ, the Good Shepherd, takes cares of His sheep. He warns the sheep that
threatens to go astray; He picks it up when it has fallen; He frees it from the
thorns in which it may have become caught. He calls today and at all times:
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, I will give you rest.” He
goes after every sheep, every kid, and brings it home. He is there when His
sheep call Him and lets Himself be found by each one in its own heart.
That is the Good Shepherd, Christ.
In the Gospel of John, we can read in contrast about the “hireling”: “The
hireling, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf
coming and leaves the sheep and runs away – and the wolf snatches them and
scatters them ... because a hireling does not care for the sheep.”
“The words of Karol Wojtyla, as reported by the media, provide information about
the organization he heads. Mustn’t this declaration of bankruptcy by the highest
leader of the church, the representative of a supposedly disgusted God, actually
result in his abdication? But no! Instead of that, the head shepherd of the
Catholic Church exposes himself as the “hireling” who blames the withdrawal of
God on his sheep, which have followed the Holy See for nearly 2000 years as
faithful, traditional lemmings.
A sad testimony given by the pope for the “church that alone can save the
people.” The statement of John Paul II is nothing other than the capitulation of
the Catholic Church.
If, as Pope John Paul II believes, God has withdrawn into heaven, then He is not
in the tabernacle either, nor in the monstrance, nor in the dogmas and thus not
in the Vatican or in the churches, either. So He has moved out. This was already
known by Erich Kästner, who wrote:
“Here helps no scorn and no mockery,
no curse and no prayer –
the report is right:
The dear God
has left the Church.”
Consequently, all churches would have to be closed down and the so-called
clergymen would be out of “work.” But should the churches remain open and the
“clergymen” hold their masses, then the church-goers will be going into an empty
house, just as has been the case until now, for it is written: “God, who created
the world, and all things in it, He, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not
dwell in houses made with human hands.” God, whom they want to worship there, is
not in this building. What should people seek in a church in which the Spirit of
God does not blow? So the churches would have to be empty of people, unless the
lemmings remain faithful to the so-called “saints,” the officially chosen
intercessors, the supposed petitioners before the throne of God, because their
“callous” father God supposedly left them in the lurch.
But there are no saints in heaven besides the one Holy One who is God, for it is
written: “There is no one who is Holy as the Lord, no one besides you; and there
is no Rock as our God.” Jesus, the Christ, taught us people: “But you are not to
be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students. And call no
one your father on earth, for you have one Father – the one in heaven.”
In the following words of the pope, even the truth can be found, no matter what
intention he may have had when speaking them:
John Paul II announced that only the person who turns to God can hope for an
embrace from God. This means that the person – without belonging to the Mother
Church and attending worship services in its houses of stone – can turn to God
in his own inner being, just as Jesus, the Christ, taught the people that God,
the Spirit of infinity, dwells within, in each person, because the person is the
temple of the Holy Spirit.
The statement of the pope can logically be understood as follows – and it is
true – that every person is the temple of God himself and that each one finds
his way to God in Christ, in himself. And so, the one who turns to God in his
inner being can be sure of His embrace.
The claim that God withdraws into heaven, or has even already withdrawn, bears
witness to how shockingly little church leaders know about God. Only the myth of
a punishing pagan God could prompt the pope to make such a statement.
God would never withdraw into heaven, because His eternal power is the
All-power, and thus, the maintaining substance, the life, in matter. God is the
eternal law of love, which is omnipresent, including in every person.
And how little these church people apparently know about the relationship
between God and His child, the human being! Can it be that they haven’t ever
experienced this? How then do they want to guide their fellow humans, who are
their brothers and sisters, to God, to bring them close to God?
We know that even when a person turns away from God – God never turns away from
the person. Were God to withdraw, offended and “disgusted” by man, then His law
of love, freedom and unity would be imperfect; it would mean that of Himself, He
would be withdrawing from Himself. (p. 17)
If the life, which streams through the pure heavens and which is also the
maintaining substance of matter and of fine-material matter – the purification
planes where the souls of people who have died are found – were to withdraw,
then all matter would collapse. The dissolution of all forms, including the pure
forms, would then happen. That is what Lucifer wanted; that was his
Fall-thought, for he alone, Lucifer, wanted to be God. He wanted and apparently
still wants today to dissolve God’s creation and to create a new, a satanic
creation. For what purpose would the Son of God have come then, He, who brought
the redeeming spark to all people and burdened souls, thus opposing the
dissolution of all forms of creation?
In his statement, John Paul II shows whom the Catholic Church in truth serves.
After nearly 2000 years, this declaration of bankruptcy is complete. Neither
church taxes nor the absolution of sins have helped the faithful. And the
blessing “Urbi et Orbi” has not moved mankind to turn back and change its ways,
either. Not the many sermons from the pulpit and the so-called “holy masses,”
not the forced Christianization of the Indians and the murder of millions of
Indians by the churches, not the cruel crusades against so-called “pagans” from
the 11th to the 13th centuries, not the church’s witch-hunts against the Jews
from the 11th to the 14th centuries, and not the persecution of heretics and the
burning of witches and heretics in the Middle Ages, all of which the church
decisively participated in, nothing, but nothing, achieved anything, neither for
the individual person nor for mankind as a whole. It is truly already long, long
since, enough!
The word “peace” is often spoken from pulpits, and not only at Christmastime.
The church representatives have always been particularly fond of resounding
terms and know how to skillfully use them at the right moment. However, acting
according to the high ethical-moral principles expressed in them is another
matter.
In B-5 Aktuell (a Bavarian radio station) came the following report on Dec. 25,
2002. “The warning against a war with Iraq and a call for peace in the world was
the focus of sermons yesterday in Bavaria’s Christmas masses. In the Munich
Cathedral of Our Lady, Cardinal Wetter warned against an armed encounter with
Iraq. Wetter called for a worldwide mobilization for peace.”
Of course, it would be good if Christians would join together to fight for
peace. Jesus, the Christ, called upon the people to keep peace. He said: “All
who take the sword will perish by the sword.”
So why is Christianity so warlike, when Jesus, the Christ, taught and lived
peace and peaceableness as an example? Why? Because the church institutions are
a negative example for this. Peace cannot be gained by calling for it, by
calling or appealing to others, but can only be attained in the heart of the
individual step by step, through a conscious life, through self-recognition and
changing one’s ways. When the church institutions now make an appeal for peace,
they must first keep peace with their fellow man.
For how can appeals of this kind have power and weight, when it stays with mere
words? Why don’t the churches step into the religious war in Ireland, for
example, where Catholic terror organizations fight against Protestant terror
organizations and Protestant terrorists against Catholic terrorists? Why don’t
they recall the military chaplains, in order to show that war is the same as
fratricide? Why did and does the church bless weapons, when Jesus spoke out
against the use of weapons?
Just think about the following: The major arms suppliers in the world are the US
in first place, followed by Russia, France, United Kingdom and Germany in that
order. According to the 2001 SIPRI Yearbook for Armaments, Disarmaments and
International Security, these countries account for 85 % of total global arms
transfers, and the US alone accounts for 47% of this figure. Why don’t the
churches exert the influence that they still have and, for instance, appeal to
the state to no longer produce any weapons, especially since the government is
often such a pal of the mainstream churches?
Why do they call on the people to join together against war, instead of
introducing appropriate steps on their own?
Weapons are produced for war. Why don’t the churches start with those who are
the very basis of the whole thing by producing weapons, and why not with the
state, which condones the import and export of weapons forged for this? It’s
quite a game that we see being played out in this huge conglomerate of church
and state! Anyone who sees through this has to begin to have doubts in himself,
for how is this possible?!
Many a one could object that the once warlike churches have meanwhile set aside
their war cloaks. But what about the loot they captured on their campaigns,
having stolen it from other countries and other people? What about the booty
that is stored in the Vatican? Anyone who does not give back the loot, the
stolen goods, is still at war and thus, is still fighting against the country
and against the people from whom it was stolen. And what about the genocide in
Croatia? In the middle of the 20th century, between 1941 and 1943, approximately
750,000 Orthodox Serbs were murdered in Croatia under the definitive
participation of Catholic clergymen and with the approval of the Vatican ... the
Catholic hierarchy, above all the military vicar and Archbishop Stepinac
(beatified by the pope in 1998!) morally supported the fascist regime right up
to the very end. (compare here Deschner “Ein Jahrhundert Heilsgeschichte,” vol.
2, 1983, pp. 210ff., as well as V. Dedijer, “Jasenovac – das jugoslawisch
Auschwitz und der Vatikan,” 1988).
When the church speaks of peace, then it should also tear down the golden calf
worth billions, by giving, gold plate for gold plate, to those people who today
are still suffering under the results of these bloody regimes.
B-5 Aktuell continued: “... the Christians are most deeply touched by the
stranglehold of the despots and terrorists and will hear the cry of the
enslaved, homeless and persecuted.” These words must first be applied to the
churches, for the enslaved, homeless and persecuted that the church left behind
on its path of terror through history are calling for a hearing still today. In
part, their souls are still in the soul realms cursing Christ, for many, many of
the cruel deeds were carried out under the invocation of His name…
B-5 Aktuell reported further: “Würzburg’s Bishop Scheele described Christmas as
overcoming a paralyzing lack of love. In his sermon Bamberg Archbishop Schick
criticized an increasing secularization of the Christmas celebration. For many
citizens, it is vacation, eating and drinking, Christmas trees and Santa Claus.”
Here we have to ask ourselves: Who drew the church faithful into externalization
and so secularized it? It was and is the church institutions that call
themselves Christian. The old men in Rome and the individual bishops are
betraying their scorn, but it is an absolute mockery of the true, eternal God
and His Son! The head-hireling and his under-hirelings – the cardinals and
bishops – are calling for peace, but remain untouched, sitting on their booty,
which the church acquired in its murderous wars; until now, they have not given
it back. Cardinals and bishops point their fingers at the faithful, saying they
are to blame for everything that takes place among the church Christians and
that occurs in the world. The faithful are the “secularized ones” and the church
the sanctimonious admonisher.
The “hirelings” have turned their sheep into “lemmings,” vassals, minions,
toadies and yes-men, into conformists and opportunists, who, sight unseen, have
accepted much, if not all, that the heads of the churches, the hirelings, have
fooled them with and led them to believe. Who introduced pagan customs like
Christmas trees, St. Nicholas, the trivialized infant Jesus and the gifts from
Santa Claus? Who condoned eating meat like the Christmas goose, turkey, venison
roast and roast hare, carp and trout and much more as tradition? Who trivialized
and sentimentalized the wonderful event of 2000 years ago – for instance, with
the tradition of the infant Jesus flying down from heaven and bringing presents
when the bell rings, or the infant Jesus as a little figurine of wax, plastic or
wood – when Jesus, the Christ, has long since grown up and ascended into heaven?
Who tolerates pagan customs such as Easter eggs, Easter rabbits and even the
Easter ham that is consecrated by the priest, and the Easter lamb, and feasts on
the latter himself? What does all this have to do with the resurrection of the
Lord? Who led the people away from the unity between nature and man and into
churches of stone, where the true God has never dwelt?
The church institutions have brought the greatest disaster over their believers.
Now those who have practiced tactical evasion for thousands of years are also
turning the tables: The hirelings are blaming the lemmings for the disaster.
This means, as seen in the light of day, that the culprits, the hirelings, are
persecuting their victims and, by accusing them, turn them into the culprits who
supposedly diluted and betrayed what it means to be Christian.
It is the churches themselves which have brought into the world this tradition
that so confuses its original meaning. The traditional paganism of the church
now became the tradition of the church faithful. Let us think about the “three
holy kings.” Whether it was kings, astrologers or wise men from the Orient, in
any case it was people who brought gifts to the babe in the manger. But the
whole thing was sentimentalized and its original meaning twisted. Instead of
church leaders giving gifts to the needy people in the world from their
overflowing coffers of gold, they send children – dressed as the “three holy
kings” – into the streets to knock on the doors of people’s houses and beg for
money for the poor. That is not only absurd, but also exploitation and abuse of
the lemmings.
The scapegoats for the many evils of our time should now be the good boys and
girls from before, the lemmings, from whom God supposedly has turned away in
disgust. Whoever, as a victim of the churches, lets himself be written off as a
culprit by the churches that are themselves the culprits without decidedly
taking a step and turning his back on this “consortium” can no longer be helped
and has left his mind at the church door.
I repeat: The true God never dwelt in churches made of stone. God never let
Himself be locked into tabernacles. God was never in dogmas and rites. God never
blessed weapons. God never granted an absolution of sin. He was not and is not
in any confessional either. God never let Himself be represented by a human
being, no matter how the latter calls himself. The true God is incorruptible –
He is absolute. But His nature is the love, and the love dwells in every person.
The all-ruling law of love, it is God, is in all life-forms of the nature
kingdoms, in the atom, in all the smallest components of infinity.
God does not turn away from His Creation and His creatures, not even from the
greatest sinner. Love knocks constantly on the door of the heart and love
remains. At some point, the greatest sinner turns back and changes his ways and
turns to God. For this, he does not need the so-called papal, holy “Father.”
God, our eternal Father, the true Eternal One, is the Father-Mother-God, whose
love and strength dwell in each one. We can be sure of the true God. He loves
all people, all beings, every form of creation of infinity.
I repeat: The true God is no hireling. And for this reason, he has no lemmings,
either. The Christ of God is the sole and true Shepherd, who calls His sheep and
His sheep know His voice. Christ does not reject any sheep. He goes after every
sinner, each sheep, in order to bring it back and to guide it to the eternal
Father. That is the great love. And so God abides!
Dear friends, still another quote, which is worthwhile to think about. It is
taken from the book “A Criminal Matter of the Vatican. Jesus Accuses.” There the
author, Uli Weyland, has Jesus say, among others, the following words: “... I
neither wanted, much less founded, this organization church, nor did I proclaim
the teachings that it attributes to me.
I preached the Kingdom of God; the church preached hell. The God with whom this
organization threatens is the God of the Old Testament and not the God of my
‘Glad Tidings.’ Instead of love and mercy, it puts fear into the hearts of the
people, doing violence to souls and reason.”
And another thought:
If Moses were to bring the people the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments
again today, he could smash them today as at that time, for since the time of
Moses they have scarcely increased in strength. However, Moses could no longer
smash the golden calf today as he did then in the desert. It has meanwhile
acquired the weight of billions as compared to the Ten Commandments of God.
Through what? Why? And again the question to ourselves: “Do I contribute to
this? – Why?”
On Dec. 22, 2002, “WELT am Sonntag” (a major German newspaper) reported on a
sermon given by Cardinal Ratzinger. I quote: “God does not impose his love on
anyone, says Cardinal Ratzinger as well. God is hiding so that we can find him.
In the birth of Christ, God gave us a sign that he is among us.”
Pope John Paul II said that God had withdrawn into heaven, disgusted by mankind.
Cardinal Ratzinger thinks that God conceals himself, so that we can find him.
The two statements, the one from the Pope and that of Cardinal Ratzinger,
contradict each other. On the one hand, God has withdrawn, on the other, it
says, God is hiding.
Does God need to hide? Or have the people turned away from God?”
Further it continues: “He (God) continually goes after us. Through Creation he
addresses us constantly, if we only wanted to listen and see.” Cardinal
Ratzinger opines, “He addresses us constantly through Creation.” For making such
a statement, the Church Experts on Doctrine, which he presently heads, would
have burned him at the stake for pantheism in earlier times. If Cardinal
Ratzinger believes this, he should do all he can to see that Creation does not
suffer – the Mother Earth with her minerals, animals, and nature kingdoms. Then
he must stand up against the torturing and slaughtering of animals. As a leader
of the church, he must forbid the consumption of meat.
Cardinal Ratzinger thinks that God speaks through His creation. This statement,
in and of itself, is to be affirmed. But does the cardinal know what he is
talking about? If a person has somewhat grasped in his inner being God’s
“language” through His Creation, then this would also show in his behavior more
and more, for instance, in his eating habits and other things. And so, if it is
true that God speaks through His Creation, then logically we may not exploit
Mother Earth, violate nature, or torment and kill the animals and consume pieces
of their carcass.
For nearly 2000 years, the so-called Christian churches have taught a God that
does not exist. It was and is a sculpture chiseled out of the pagan belief in
many gods, cleverly touted and marketed. Now, since the “market fair” world is
going into its last selling round, the Roman “Holy Father” goes to court against
his till now faithful.
Based on the pope’s statement in the “BILD” newspaper on Dec. 13, 2002 and the
sermon by Cardinal Ratzinger in “Die WELT am Sonntag” on Dec. 22, 2002, I
thought once more about the history of the church – that is, I made a review and
came to the conclusion that the Christian churches were nothing more than a
warring army that, clever in its tactics, included the state in its
calculations, in order to not only get people out of their way or to kill them –
those who were not servile to the churches – but also to go against all the
creatures in the forests, on and in the fields, in the oceans, rivers and lakes,
in the air.
Who or what was the church at the beginning when Constantine made it into a
state church – who or what is it today? What I have worked out for myself is
what I have come to recognize for myself. I do not want to influence any person.
Each one can think about this for himself, and in so doing think about the
following aspect: war against the Mother Earth.
The majority of people – and above all those people who uphold the traditions
and are caught up in their own egoism – have forgotten how to think clearly and
logically. They have become emulators who, like lemmings, do what others show
them and direct them to do without using their heads. And these others are
likewise caught up in a thoughtless intoxication of the senses through
tradition. The person who does not break the fetters of tradition remains bound
to those who condone tradition, who often find themselves in a so-called “holy
state.” And whoever orients himself according to church tradition is
automatically a part of the militaristic army that tortures, kills, butchers,
slaughters, that is, murders, everything that is on, in and over the Earth – all
for the good of tradition.”
What this “holy state” is all about was admitted with amazing clarity by
Cardinal Ratzinger on Jan. 10, 2003 during the program “Aspects” on German
television. This program dealt with the crimes of the Inquisition against
Giordano Bruno, whose condemnation to death was signed by at least one who later
became pope (Pius V) and one who later became a saint (Bellarmin). Ratzinger
said in this program: “There were also saints who condoned this, who lived in a
deep inner relationship to God and also in an inner closeness to Jesus, to His
word, and yet, through this historic context, experienced blindness to parts of
their conscience that must shock us.”
And so, the saints of the church suffer under a blindness to parts of their
conscience, making them capable even of murder. What a mockery of our heavenly
Father, the eternally holy One, when instigators of murder are declared saints!
Karlheinz Deschner wrote (1986) in his book: “The Offended Church”: “Helvetius
knew it: ‘When one reads the legends of its saints, one finds the names of
thousands of criminals declared saints.’”
Have we as Christians thought about what fratricide means? Again and again, we
hear about how many people have lost their lives on Earth through war. According
to Christian teachings, all people are brothers and sisters to each other. In
war, brother murders brother. Is that Christian? Presently a great army of
people is again preparing to commit fratricide.
In many regions on the Mother Earth, the fight against brother, against sister
and against the Mother Earth is being practiced. For this purpose, gigantic
ships and aircraft carriers are sailing over the oceans with heavy artillery and
weapons on board, as well as the most modern aircraft, equipped with the most
ingenious weapons that, when the commander orders, flatten not only villages and
cities, but also bring death, suffering and need to countless people, to
brothers and sisters. The ear-deafening racket of these machines has, among
other things, a destructive effect on the elements of the Earth. The aggressive
noise from airplanes, missiles, tanks, heavy machines and the like bring the air
to the bursting point. The death-bringing bombers take the lives of not only
many humans and animals. They also shake up the Mother Earth and tear enormous
crater wounds in the planet. How long will the mistreated Earth still bear this?
Over the oceans sail not only the warships; gigantic oil tankers pollute the air
and, known or unknown, let out their oil. Let’s just think of the last oil spill
disaster in Spain. Here, too, we experience a bestial war – against the oceans
and the water animals, the fish, crabs, mussels, whales, seals, water birds,
water plants and many other living beings of the waters. When we think of the
fishing trawlers, we know that countless fish suffocate in great pain on the
trawlers. The cruelties committed by monster man are not enough: baby seals are
beaten to death for their pelts. Crabs and lobsters are cooked live; other
inhabitants of the oceans are torn to pieces by explosives in the water. Their
carcasses are prepared, for the benefit of pleasure-seeking people. At nicely
set tables, thieving, cannibal man then devours the aesthetically garnished and
seasoned pieces of carcass. Let us also think of the poisonous waste water from
the atomic power plants and industrial factories. In general, one can describe
humans as death that stalks the Earth destroying everything that it bears. And
Cardinal Ratzinger says that God speaks to us through His Creation. Is all of
the above then the answer of the people to this?
When one thinks about the fact that billions are given out for missiles and
satellites, then one must ask himself: Do human beings still have any conscience
at all? Many missiles and satellites break apart; their parts burn up or fall
back onto the Earth. The space above the Earth has become a rubbish heap and a
junkyard for satanic experiments. While billions are given out for this,
millions upon millions of people are starving in the third world!
So that the satanic is not visible right away, it pretends to be merciful and
begs the middle classes and the poor for the poorest. In their traditions, the
rich keep their whole bag of tricks. Many of these “skillful petitioners” send
out begging letters or invite people to a so-called benefit concert, in order to
collect money for the poor in the third world. How much do the rich give, and
above all, how much do the churches give, the golden calf worth billions? Only
so much that the bank account is not harmed or the golden calf does not decline
in value.
One thinks that the unspeakably rich churches also beg for the poor. No one
realizes how the begging, rich churches wreaked havoc in other nations and
forcefully christianized the people, causing the beggar’s staff to be their lot,
still today.
If the churches were to give a large sum of their assets worth billions to the
needy, then many a one could still believe that they had changed. But instead,
the heads of these regimes worth billions beg the church faithful for the needy!
Dear brothers and sisters, dear friends, if you wish, please let more images
take form in your awareness: War against the animal world. Millions upon
millions of animals are kept in animal ghettos. Crammed together in the most
confined spaces, without the light of day and enough air, they are fattened with
feed that consists of ground up animal carcasses, from their slaughtered
brothers and sisters, filled with hormones and other chemicals that are meant to
raise the profits on meat. So that the so-called slaughter animal multiplies
quickly, the natural cycle of reproduction is interfered with. Using hormones
and pheromones, they are made into birthing machines for the
animal-ghetto-offspring.
When the animals are ready for slaughter, the ghetto wardens load them into
trucks to be shipped to the death chamber, where the animal executioner beats
them down with blows, kills them, hangs them up and cuts them into pieces – for
the creatures concerned, unspeakable torment, panic, fear ... The human vulture
then falls over the carrion and with great relish, perhaps by candlelight,
consumes the seasoned pieces of carcass that have been hung until tender.
And children, many of whom instinctively fight against eating meat, have
hammered into them: “Eating meat is not bad – it was always so; it is totally
normal.” It is “tradition.” The chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, etc. – to cut
off their heads, tear out their feathers, to season and consume their bodies, is
simply tradition.
Dear friends, when you read my letter and when the images of the enslaved,
tortured and slaughtered animal brothers and sisters come up in you, in your
hearts, then ask yourselves what you want to do with your life.
Why don’t the churches report about these animal massacres, for Cardinal
Ratzinger did say: God speaks to us through Creation? Or must the animals and
nature suffer so much because the animals don’t belong to any church institution
and therefore pay no church taxes or tithes? The one who does not pay his
tribute to the churches is shut out by them. And the animals are handed over to
the hunters, the butchers and the meat-eaters.
War in forest and field. The dastardly and brutal human thief took and takes
living space away from the animals for his purposes and sacrifices them. The
culprit, the human thief, who stole from the animals, has chosen hunters to
shoot down the victims, the animals, because supposedly too many of them have
survived. The culprits are running free. The victims, the animals, are shot down
from behind, shot and wounded, caught in traps and killed. The carrion, the
pieces of carcass, are in turn cleared away by the human vulture. In Germany,
when a larger number of animals are killed, that is, murdered, then so-called
“clergymen” give blessings in St. Hubertus masses – to whom? The hunters who did
such things? Or even the slaughtered animals, so that the pieces of their
carcass taste good to the traditional church-faithful?
A lamb, which runs about unsuspectingly, romping and jumping about on the meadow
with its playmates, and willingly lets itself be petted by children – how does
it come to be an Easter lamb? Dear friends, let these terrible deeds take form
in you as images. My pen is rebelling ...
The victims are slaughtered; the culprits, the people, multiply. But when such a
brutal bloke dies, and be it in the face of the “Mother Church,” then despite
the “last rites,” his soul does not enter the Kingdom of God, but comes again,
because as a human being it did not accept the teachings of Jesus, the Christ,
and did not walk the path to life.
The film reel of the war against Mother Earth does not break. In the law of
sowing and reaping, which man created himself, everything is registered in the
cosmos, right down to the last detail, and every cause, insofar as it is not
recognized, repented and cleared up, will come into effect.
War against forest and field. The lord of the forest, man, ruthlessly cuts down
his brothers, the trees, or sets entire forests on fire to satisfy his greed for
profit. It does not matter to him that billions of living beings burn up,
suffering unspeakable agony. Trees that are in his way are cut down so that new
ones can grow for his use and profit, that will later then suffer the same fate.
And the church, which allegedly is the church of Jesus Christ, remains silent.
How many so-called Christmas trees are cut down? A pagan custom. Cardinal
Ratzinger says: God speaks through His Creation. Is the pagan custom of cutting
down “Christmas trees” the answer of the church Christians? A spruce becomes a
“Christmas tree” when its life is taken. It may breathe its last for a few days
or weeks, hung with tinsel, decorated with candles and shining balls – then it
is disposed of. Did Christ want this? Did He call for this? Then why is it done?
Christ is the Spirit of life!
War against the fields of Mother Earth. The farmer murders larger animals and
tiny micro-organisms with chemicals and solid and liquid manure. The church
remains silent – and then says: “God is silent.”
He is not silent! For example, available on cassette and in the book “The
All-Spirit, GOD, Speaks Directly Through His Prophetess Into Our Time. He Does
Not Speak the Word of the Bible” He said the following:
“How do you want to still become children of God? Look at your fields.
Artificial fertilizers, pesticides and weed-killers – I use your words. You
torment and mistreat your fields. When the Earth gives it back to you and you
become ill, then you accuse God? Complain to the god of the underworld. He wants
it this way – and in the end, you do, too, for you serve him.
The Earth calls to Me, the Creator, for mercy, for freedom. What do you do? You
accuse Me – instead complain to the one whom you serve and by whom you are
inspired.
And:
Many of you say that animals have infectious diseases. Who infected them – God
or man? You take in this information and experience the infectious disease in
your physical body. Who is to blame? God? Or yourself?
See all of this in your images! The animal in your slaughterhouses, hung up,
that is, hanged – it bleeds and feels.
Animals in the most confined spaces. They are suffering. Feel this!
Animals in your so-called transports. Feel how many an animal dies in the most
terrible way.
Feel into your laboratories. Animal experiments. Here an injection, there an
injection, kept and observed in the most confining spaces.
If all of this were to happen to you, what would you say then? You will
experience all of these images, and according to your participation, you will
experience the pain, the torment of the animals, the plants and the minerals.
When the blows of fate hit you on this side of life, then you accuse Me.
Complain to the god of the underworld and his gods, whom you have served and
serve, without consideration for the life. And you are just as ruthless toward
your own physical body, but also toward your soul, which at the latest, will
languish in the spheres of purification, for according to its participation, it
has to experience what the person allowed in this world. What good does your
silence do? What good does your protesting do? ...
Many people are merciless and pitiless. They remain merciless and pitiless – and
call for Me in the last hours of their physical existence? Oh see, the
commandments given through Moses were not given for the last hours, nor was the
Sermon on the Mount of Jesus! These divine laws for the higher life were given
to you for your earthly existence, so that you may recognize your sins, and with
the help of the Redeemer-Spirit in you, the Christ of God, repent of the sins
you have recognized, clear them up and no longer commit them. This is the growth
toward the inner life. No intermediaries are needed for this. What is necessary
for this is a light-filled mind that still knows how to weigh what is good and
what is disgraceful ...”
The Fall-thought, to destroy and wipe out everything, still sits in many heads –
and wants man to rule over God.
This is apparently just fine for the church institutions, for when the pope says
that God has withdrawn into heaven, then God would be in retreat and the thief
and murderer without conscience, the human being, would be advancing. That would
be a triumph for those forces that are behind the dastardliness of man and have
announced God’s withdrawal. They would then have come a very promising step
closer to their goal of still conquering God.
Since the Fall into sin, which is directed against God, the desire of the
negative forces to dissolve all forms has existed. This would mean death to all
God’s creatures on the Mother Earth, in the forests, on and in the fields, in
the waters, in the air. It would also mean death to the majority of humans, so
that only a very few would be left to become the lords of creation who before
changing over into the satanic realm as spiritually dead ones still want to blow
up the Earth. But this will not happen, because God, the almighty Creator said:
The Earth is Mine.
The world is on the verge of collapse. The satanic regime thinks it can destroy
the Mother Earth. It flattens whole mountains and undertakes the shifting of
huge masses of earth. It diverts the water veins of the Earth by building
artificial waterways and enormous dams. The Earth is being hollowed out through
borings and mines and much more injustice. The satanic regime wants to kill the
Earth. If it doesn’t manage to take over the planet, then it turns to its
terrible atomic weapon arsenals, which are set out all over the Earth, in order
to blow it up.
But despite papal “prophesying,” God is not withdrawing into heaven. God is the
life, also in every little piece of Mother Earth. Mother Earth cannot be
destroyed, because the Spirit of infinity is absolute and perfect.
Christ is the victor! He will also conquer the satanic warriors, for the Spirit
of infinity, which is also effective in the Mother Earth, is stronger.
Things are approaching the tipping-point, for the suffering of the Mother Earth
is immeasurable. The elements are suffering; many people are suffering and
lamenting; the animal and plant worlds are suffering unspeakably. The wounds of
the Mother Earth are hurting.
Pope John Paul II unmistakably made known the declaration of bankruptcy of his
church. For people whose mind is alert, the church institutions are now showing
their true colors.
Despite everything, the “cross ship” church continues its journey, because the
lemmings are still romping around intoxicated with dogma and do not recognize
why the “cross ship” still has the cross with the corpse on board, even though
Jesus, the Christ, resurrected already 2000 years ago. Is it merely tradition –
or something more? Why does the “cross ship” bless the warriors’ weapons?
Because it is tradition? Jesus said something else: “For the one who takes the
sword will perish by the sword.” Why are the highest church celebrations,
Christmas and Easter, the greatest slaughter feasts? Because it is tradition?
Countless trees, which are “raised” to be Christmas trees, are cut down for the
pagan Christmas magic. Why? Because it is tradition? Why the St. Hubertus
masses, in which the hunters and their death-bringing weapons receive the
blessings of the church institution? Because it is tradition?
Mother Earth with its animals, with its nature and its minerals does not want
the victory of the church institutions. And why? Mother Earth will not receive
any blessing from the churches. And why?
More and more people are answering the question “and why?” for themselves.
Intuitively they are following the words found in Rev. 18:4: “Come out of her,
my people, so that you do not take part in her sins, and so that you do not
share in her plagues!”
Dear brothers and sisters, dear friends – how will it continue?
In closing, a few words from our divine brother and Redeemer from His mighty
work of revelation This Is My Word. A and . The Gospel of Jesus. The
Christ-Revelation that meanwhile is known all over the world:
“Again and again, it is the same ones who persecute Me in My own; for, despite
the “It is finished”, I Am still the thorn in the heart of those who want to
maintain and expand the Demons’ State. In the present time [1989], it is again
the scribes and those who are servile to them in the ecclesiastic and worldly
authorities. They, too, incite the people with untruths against the followers of
the Christ.
Yet, everything comes to an end. What took place in the almost two thousand
years is now bearing its effects and befalls those who, for two thousand years,
have continued to behave as they did at My time as Jesus of Nazareth. Today,
too, they are afraid to lose their position and their prestige. But their power
is gradually coming to an end – the effects of their causes are breaking in over
them.
The position of the negative forces is becoming weaker and weaker. The present
scribes, pharisees and authorities of the state and of the church are calling
out like drowning people. They sense that the flood which will wash them away is
already on its way. What was wrongly built up in My name in the course of two
thousand years is fading away: a power which indeed called and calls itself
Christian, but neither was nor is Christian and which, in many ways, took and
takes My name, Christ, in vain.
The New Era is awakening and will arise from the ruins of the past ...”
Dear brothers, dear sisters in Christ, I do not want to indoctrinate any person
with this, my letter – which is somewhat longer than planned. My heart is heavy
when I think of the love of our divine brother and Redeemer and of all the
people who have been led astray, but also of the Mother Earth with its animals,
plants and minerals.
My deepest wish is that still many people reflect on their earthly lives and
find their way to Christ, who is the love and unity. The one who finds the way
to the great Spirit of infinity in himself will also feel in his heart how
Mother Earth suffers and all the forms of life that she supports.
P.S. I just received the text of a song from Reinhard Mey that I don’t want to
keep from you. In the constitution of the United States and of the Republic of
Germany it says: “The dignity of a person is inviolable.” I would say that the
“dignity” of man is becoming more visible day by day! In his song, “The Dignity
of the Pig Is Inviolable,” Richard Mey drastically portrays to what point
mankind has come.
“The Dignity of the Pig Is Inviolable”
In a narrow box it was,
cement floor and youthful fuzz
that she first saw the light bulbs of the world.
She was piglet number four,
one to three lay over her on the floor,
such a crowd, she almost died.
Two weeks only, sucking hard,
then someone came and Mum was gone.
Yet as loving memories faded,
the words of mother pig never jaded:
“The dignity...”
The dark hole now became her home,
on one spot day in, day out,
and always in its self-made mess.
The sensitive nose, the beastly smell,
made her sad, made her ill,
jabs there were as it got worse.
She was ordered now to breed,
a thing to which she never agreed.
Pig exists to give more meat,
and when at last they broke her will,
the words of mother pig were still:
“The dignity...”
The cattle transport soon was there,
they grabbed me by the tail and ear,
together with my other pals.
We suffered, squealing loud with fear,
we were squashed together really near,
a pig is clever so we knew,
this was tragic, what to do?
She knew this was the end of the road,
the slaughter house it now forebode,
and so she went with head held high,
“The dignity ...”
She never saw the light of day,
or walked on grass, or smelt fresh hay,
the straw beneath her feet just stank.
She never rolled around in mud,
happily cooled and joined by her budd.
How could I eat this suffering misery!?
The menu I held in my hand,
I saw the dishes in this land,
but the pictures lingering,
I can’t forget, you poor wee thing!
I don’t want to be the cause,
so as guest in restaurant,
order cauliflower instead.
“The dignity ...”
“His Infallibility, the Pope, Gives Up His Misguided Way,
The Prophetess Shows Him the Way to God”
A reader of “Gabriele Letter 2” recently reacted with the above title to the
discussion on a scandalous statement made by the pope shortly before Christmas.
Then Karol Wojtyla had announced that God had withdrawn into heaven. In her
letter number 2, Gabriele asked him whether he shouldn’t himself resign as the
supposed representative of a God in retreat. Now the pope has corrected himself,
and we have documented the reader’s contribution with the following:
“Considering the way the church normally functions, the answer to “Gabriele
Letter 2” came unusually fast: As we know, Gabriele had asked Karol Wojtyla
whether his most recent statement – that God had withdrawn into heaven disgusted
by the actions of mankind – was not a declaration of bankruptcy by the highest
office of the church, which, as the representative of a supposedly disgusted
God, should force him to resign.
But the pope doesn’t want to hear anything about resigning. Instead, he would
rather correct himself in time. Radio Vatican reported this on April 2, 2003: In
a papal audience, Wojtyla now declared the opposite of what he had announced in
December of last year: God did not turn away; He is close to the people. One
merely needs to discover the signs for this divine nearness in one’s everyday
life.
Apparently the prophetess’s shake-up hit the pope quite hard, since his original
statement showed ‘how shockingly little church leaders know about God. Only the
myth of a punishing and pagan God could prompt the pope to make such a
statement,’ wrote Gabriele. And her statement that God alone streams throughout
all Being and that without His power all forms would dissolve, is apparently
still ringing in Karol Wojtyla’s ears, when he now emphasizes that God’s works
of salvation fill time and space, and that land and water, mountains and deserts
are touched by His presence. He even quotes Isaiah 42:10f, where it says: ‘Let
the sea roar and all that fills it ... Let the desert and its towns lift up
their voice ...’
In Iraq, the deserts and their towns ‘lift up their voice’ to the bombardments
of the Americans, which were accompanied and spurred on by the blessings of
military chaplains. The desert smokes when the oil wells burn and the bombs
explode. The doctrine of a ‘just war’ is producing bloody results that the pope
now refuses to accept.
Prophet Isaiah would rejoice when he learns that the ‘infallible one’ in Rome
has done a turn-about. And so, God has not withdrawn into heaven in disgust. Now
he is suddenly here again. Apparently, God doesn’t know anymore what He wants.
But aside from this, the pope shouldn’t be sanctimoniously referring back to the
prophets, thus stultifying and duping the people. At all times, the priests were
opponents of the prophets and killed many of them, in order to continue to carry
out their own diabolical views. The Church should first prove that it has
practiced what the prophets taught – they have had 2000 years for this.
Since they have not done this, there remains only the tried and true recipe of
John of Patmos: ‘Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, and
share in her plagues!’”
