Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered
and let them that hate Him
Flee from before His Face.
~Psalm 67
¡Viva Cristo † Rey! ¡Viva la Virgen de
Guadalupe!
Si vis pacem, para bellum!
This
blog post is in defense of the Catholic teacher in Orlando, Florida Dioceses
Mr. Mark
Smythe. He used the words of St. John Bosco, which had been left in the
Adoration Chapel, to teach a lesson on Islam and is now taking much heat and
quite possibly dismissal from the “so called Catholic” hierarchy for speaking
what a great saint had to say about Islam or back then which was called Mohammedanism(note
name change?).
I
am posting this most wonderful homily and why it seems the Catholic Church is
ushering in this evil.
May
God have mercy on the Catholic hierarchy they will probably be the ones who
they will attack first and it will be with God's permission.
Behold,
I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the
powers of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.
~Luke 10:19
~Luke 10:19
This “Power” has only been given to the One Holy Catholic
Apostolic Church because She is the only Church that Jesus Himself started.
What the Catholic Church had to say about Islam
What the Catholic Church had to say about Islam
“Whoever does not embrace the Catholic Christian
faith is lost, like your false prophet Muhammad.”
~St. Peter Mavimenus (d. 8th century),
martyr from Gaza. Response reported in the Martyriologum Romanum when he was
asked to convert to Islam by a group of Muslims.
“There is
also the superstition of the Ishmaelites which to this day prevails and keeps
people in error, being a forerunner of the Antichrist…. From that time to the
present a false prophet named Mohammed has appeared in their midst. This man,
after having chanced upon the Old and New Testaments and likewise, it seems,
having conversed with an Arian monk, devised his own heresy. Then, having
insinuated himself into the good graces of the people by a show of seeming
piety, he gave out that a certain book had been sent down to him from heaven.
He had set down some ridiculous compositions in this book of his and he gave it
to them as an object of veneration.”
~St.
John Damascene (d. 749), Syrian Arab Catholic monk and scholar. Quoted from
his book On Heresies under the section On the Heresy of the Ishmaelites (in The
Fathers of the Church. Vol. 37. Translated by the Catholic University of
America. CUA Press. 1958. Pages 153-160.)
“We
profess Christ to be truly God and your prophet to be a precursor of the
Antichrist and other profane doctrine.”
~Sts.
Habenitus, Jeremiah, Peter, Sabinian, Walabonsus, and Wistremundus (d.
851), martyrs of Cordoba, Spain. Reported in the Memoriale Sanctorum in
response to Spanish Umayyad Caliph ‘Abd Ar-Rahman II’s ministers that they
convert to Islam on pain of death.
“Any cult
which denies the divinity of Christ, does not profess the existence of the Holy
Trinity, refutes baptism, defames Christians, and derogates the priesthood, we
consider to be damned.”
~Sts. Aurelius, Felix, George, Liliosa, and
Natalia (d. 852), martyrs of Cordoba, Spain. Reported in the Memoriale
Sanctorum in response to Spanish Umayyad Caliph ‘Abd Ar-Rahman II’s ministers
that they convert to Islam on pain of death.
“On the
other hand, those who founded sects committed to erroneous doctrines proceeded
in a way that is opposite to this, the point is clear in the case of Muhammad.
He seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence
of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in
conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all
this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the
truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the
natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he
taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity.
He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone
fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be
only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the contrary,
Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms—which are signs not
lacking even to robbers and tyrants.”
~St. Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274),
Theologian and Doctor of the Church. Quoted from his De Rationibus Fidei Contra
Saracenos, Graecos, et Armenos and translated from Fr. Damian Fehlner’s Aquinas
on Reasons for the Faith: Against the Muslims, Greeks, and Armenians (Franciscans
of the Immaculate. 2002.)
“As we
have seen, Muhammed had neither supernatural miracles nor natural motives of
reason to persuade those of his sect. As he lacked in everything, he took to
bestial and barbaric means, which is the force of arms. Thus he introduced and
promulgated his message with robberies, murders, and blood shedding, destroying
those who did not want to receive it, and with the same means his ministers
conserve this today, until God placates his anger and destroys this pestilence
from the earth.
(Muhammad) can also be figured for the dragon in the same Apocalypse
which says that the dragon swept up a third of the stars and hurled down a
third to earth. Although this line is more appropriately understood concerning
the Antichrist, Mohammed was his precursor – the prophet of Satan, father of
the sons of haughtiness.
Even if
all the things contained in his law were fables in philosophy and errors in
theology, even for those who do not possess the light of reason, the very
manners (Islam) teaches are from a school of vicious bestialities. (Muhammad)
did not prove his new sect with any motive, having neither supernatural
miracles nor natural reasons, but solely the force of arms, violence, fictions,
lies, and carnal license. It remains an impious, blasphemous, vicious cult, an
innovention of the devil, and the direct way into the fires of hell. It does
not even merit the name of being called a religion.”
~St. Juan de Ribera (d.1611),
Archbishop of Valencia, missionary to Spanish Muslims, and organizer of the
Muslim expulsions of 1609 from Spain. Quoted in several locations from his 1599
Catechismo para la Instruccion de los Nuevos Convertidos de los Moros (my
translation).
“The Mahometan paradise, however, is only fit for beasts; for filthy
sensual pleasure is all the believer has to expect there.”
~ St. Alfonsus Liguori
(d. 1787). Quoted from his book, The History of Heresies and their Refutation.
