DID YOU KNOW that when a priest takes a vow of celibacy, this has nothing to do with curtailment of sexual activity such as fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and pedophilia; it simply means he cannot be married? Explanation of Catholic Morals, page 149 says it this way:
“All celibates are not chaste: celibacy is not necessarily chastity;...And one who takes the vow of Celibacy does not break it by sinning against the 6th commandment, he is true to it until he weds.”
DID YOU KNOW that the Catholic church teaches that:
"...however illicitly he may exercise it, no authority on earth can take away from a degraded priest the power of consecrating". (Bishop Purcell, in Campbell and Purcell Debate, 92)?
DID YOU KNOW:
"If a priest shares in a sin with a penitent (e.g. extortion, adultery robbery), and if were to absolve that person it would be valid"? (Summa Theologica, Part III, Fourth number, 274, 276)
DID YOU KNOW:
“...[the] confessor must not only hear the confession of his accomplice, but also absolve or pretend [?] to absolve him"? (Ayrinhac, Legislation on the Sacrament in the New Code, 208)
DID YOU KNOW:
“No man is free to embrace and profess that religion which he believes to be true, guided by the light of reason”? (Syllabus of Pope Pius IX, Art).
DID YOU KNOW that the:
“...eternal salvation of any out of the true [?] Church of Christ is not even to be hoped for”? (Syllabus, Art. 17)
DID YOU KNOW:
“It is necessary even in the present day that the Catholic religion shall be held as the only religion of the State to the exclusion of all other forms of worship”? (Syllabus, Art. 77)
DID YOU KNOW:
“...it has been unwisely provided by law, in some countries called Catholic, that persons coming to reside therein shall enjoy the free exercise of their religion"? (Syllabus, Art. 78)
DID YOU KNOW that the:
"Roman Pontiff cannot and ought not to reconcile himself to, or agree with Progress, Liberalism and Modern Civilization"?
DID YOU KNOW a Catholic (whether priest or layman) is permitted to lie using what the church calls “mental reservation”?
"So that a false statement knowingly made to one who has not a right to the truth (who doesn't have a right to hear the truth?) will not be a lie." (Catholic Encyc., IX, 471)
Revelation 21:8 disagrees.
"...sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in he lake which burns with fire and brimstone."
DID YOU KNOW:
“...it is not lawful for the State, any more than for the individual either to disregard all religious duties or to hold in equal favor different kinds of religion, that the unrestrained freedom of thinking and openly making known ones thoughts is not inherent in the rights of citizens, and is by no means to be reckoned worthy of favor and support:”? (Great Encyclical Letters of Leo XIII, 126)
