Is the Pope catholic, and making the world safe for pedophiles--Patrick j miron training commentary

I am Catholic
Mortal sin is Mortal Combat
By Pat Miron
Allow me my friend to add another layer of understanding, rather than simply comment on the Great Theologian; Thomas Aquinas profound teaching on Mortal Sin.



There are in my opinion, two Divine mysteries that are so profound that they alone ought to supply sufficient motivation for being a Informed, and Fully Practicing Catholic. 




 They are the “Real Presence,” Catholic Holy Communion which invites one to an intimate union with our Creator God, far more intimate and personal than even married love.

Thirteenth session, canons on the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist:

·          “If anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist are contained truly, really and substantially the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ, but says that He is in it only as in a sign, or figure or force, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, Canon 1).


 For is this Blessed Sacrament we not only participate “in it“, we literally SHARE in its substance as we become One with our God. ….





 The Second mystery deals with the forgiveness of our sins 


 in the manner God Himself has ordained. in the catholic church



 [And therefore the ONLY sure method]. 




The result when we participate humbly; repent and convert from our hearts,


,further supported by our future actions is  

“Known forgiveness of our sins.

” No greater source of true-inner-peace and inexpressible joy is known to humanity.



Luke.15: 7“Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”



The past few hundred years has seen the introduction by mortal men, various subtle “shortcuts,“ that are
deceitful, devious, duplicitous, underhanded, unreliable, untrustworthy, and motivated by a need for expediency driven by [radio, then television broadcast time restrictions]. 



Theologies like the “Sinners Prayer,“

 and teaching that one need only “Know Christ” to be saved; that once one 

“is saved” [OSAS] one can [will /does] no longer sin is further lead by selling a pleasing hoax to human understanding, while trying to  alter a complex and profound Divine teaching. 



Likely well motivated; but nevertheless a Grave endangering of Souls, anything different than what God himself clearly commands is a very high risk belief.




 These are myths, a hoax, perpetrated on gullible innocent children of God.


  Another motive is “an easier, less painful, less humiliating way,” necessarily quicker, and facilitating the “easy-sell” on Broadcast media as an “quick-fix” 

alterative to Catholic Teachings.

Fourteenth session, canons concerning the most holy sacrament of penance:

·          “If anyone says that in the Catholic Church penance is not truly and properly a sacrament instituted by Christ the Lord for reconciling the faithful of God as often as they fall into sin after baptism, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 1).

·          “If anyone denies that sacramental confession was instituted by divine law or is necessary to salvation; or says that the manner of confessing secretly to a priest alone, which the Catholic Church has always observed from the beginning and still observes, is at variance with the institution and command of Christ and is a human contrivance, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 7).

·          “If anyone says that the confession of all sins as it is observed in the Church is impossible and is a human tradition to be abolished by pious people; or that each and all of the faithful of Christ or either sex are not bound thereto once a year in accordance with the constitution of the great Lateran Council, and that for this reason the faithful of Christ are to be persuaded not to confess during Lent, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 8).

·          “If anyone says that God always pardons the whole penalty together with the guilt and that the satisfaction of penitents is nothing else than the faith by which they perceive that Christ has satisfied for them, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 8).

Any informed discussion about sin will evolve around mans personal choices, mans own freewill-decisions.



 It would be a good idea to frame our discussion with a few bible passages, to insure the understanding that what we share is of Devine, not human origin. The background for what we Catholics understand and teach, believe and practice comes from both Sacred Tradition of the Old Testament, and



Revelation by the teachings of Christ Himself in the new perfected Covenant in Christ own Blood of the New Testament. It is highly significant that Christ Passion and the shedding of His Blood, share in both of these mysterious, and powerful Sacraments, and that God could have chosen other ways to accomplish these task.
