WARNING/PERINGATAN
Canon 1369
A person who uses a public show or speech, published writings, or other media of social communication to blaspheme, seriously damage good morals, express wrongs against religion or against the Church or stir up hatred or contempt against religion or the Church is to be punished with a just penalty.


Only men who take a vow of poverty, chastity and obedience can become priests. The Catholic church doesn't allow priests to marry or have romantic relationships. If a priest decides to marry, he must leave the priesthood. He can, however, serve the diocese as a deacon.


SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT / SAPG MAIN ACTIVITIES FOR THE WEEK

The Second Vatican Council, which convened in the early 1960s, beautifully described the role of the priest by noting three functions: "preach the Gospel and shepherd the faithful and... celebrate divine worship" (Lumen Gentium, 28). Interestingly, most Catholics may be more familiar with "celebrating divine worship," for example, the Mass. But the Second Vatican Council gives renewed priority to the ministry of the Word, which makes for a Gospel-based priesthood, and to the pastoral care of the faithful, which makes for a service-based ministry.

QUOTES TO PONDER

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

If God answers your prayer, He is increasing your faith; If He delays, He is increasing your patience; If He doesn't answer your payer, He is preparing the Best of you!!!

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them. Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love." Mother Theresa of Calcutta.

"We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us; and God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides." - Saint Thomas Aquinas

"The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple." - Amos Bronson Alcott

"Learning is finding out what you already know, Doing is demonstrating that you know it, Teaching is reminding others that they know it as well as you do. We are all learners, doers, and teachers." - Richard David Bach

On PRIVATE REVELATIONS of Mutter Vogel 'NEVER ATTACK A PRIEST'.

Catholics has NO OBLIGATION to follow or believe PRIVATE REVELATIONS. We are only obliged to follow PUBLIC REVELATIONS like the BIBLE. The Pieta Prayer Book is not imprimatured as a whole and, I think if you check, it is published by Baysiders. On the whole, it is orthodox, but that particular bit of advice has bothered me ever since I first read it shortly after becoming a Catholic over thirty years ago, since 1977. It is completely absurd.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits." - Matthew 7:15-20; "Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." - 2 Cor. 11:14

Public revelation is binding on all Christians, but private revelation is binding only on those who receive it. The Catholic Church teaches that public revelation was completed, and therefore was concluded, with the death of the last apostle (Vatican II, Dei Verbum 4), but private revelation has continued. "Throughout the ages, there have been so-called ‘private’ revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium[collective sense of the faithful] knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church. Christian faith cannot accept ‘revelations’ that claim to surpass or correct the revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain non-Christian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such ‘revelations’" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 67). Some people tend to go to one extreme or the other on private revelation; they either completely reject the concept or they consider private revelation their chief rule of faith.

I believe these revelations are of a similar type as those of Sr. Faustina. The revelations by Jesus to Faustina concerned Divine Mercy. The revelations by Jesus to Vogel were a condemnation of criticism of priests. The revelations may have occurred in 1929 - in Southern Germany - I don't really know. The revelations to Faustina are accepted and approved by the Church. I would like to know whether the revelations to Vogel are likewise approved. A printed version of the revelations to Vogel appear in a small prayer book called the Pieta.

The Pieta Prayerbook does contain borderline stuff, and there is plenty of "private revelation" in it's pages which technically doesn't bind the faithful. I cited this, however, to remind people that there is a fairly long-standing Catholic tradition of simply refraining from attacking the clergy and praying and doing penance instead. The "top management" is supposed to take care of the errant priests, and they often do without sounding a chorus of trumpets about it. When they don't, God sends someone from the "internal affairs" department, like St. Francis or St. Catherine. Do you know anyone in the So-Called Catholic blogosphere (SCCB) whose humility and holiness can be compared to St. Catherine? (I do know ONE; he NEVER attacks the clergy, by the way.) Remember she wrote letters to Cardinals and had a direct audience with the Pope to encourage him to be more manly and get out of France.

I am still in need of someone to direct me to information on Mutter Vogel. Usually a site promoting what they believe to be the words of our Lord will have a source of history to the claim. The supposed prophecy is vague source. I agree gossiping about even a truth about anyone, priest or not is wrong, but there are grounds for bringing issues of one priest to the attention of another priest or his superior. The vague term of attack needs to be clarified. Attack as in, Father lost his temper or has bad breath or Father is hurting another person. Also, not speaking ill of, needs to be elaborated on. Is this Mutter Vogel suggesting our Lord said not to say anything negative about a priest to anyone? Or to limit the expression of your opinions or observations to certain persons in authority such as another priest?


There is this unhealthy strain of Romanticism concerning veneration of priests that is really disturbing and does not coincide with the reality of Catholic teaching, common sense and charity. For instance, if you get solicited by a priest in the confessional, if he makes overtures to you in any fashion of a sexual nature, you are obligated to turn him in, your absolution is automatically suspended and contingent upon your reporting this priest to your local ordinary and his superior. It seems people are taking the emotional hyperbole of great saints and turning them into doctrinal teachings. Catholics have to learn to separate the poetic musings of saints and blesseds and mystics from the clear, solid teaching of the Church. Let that teaching be your guide and not sentimental musings of saints that wrote rhapsodic prose on days where everything was going a certain way.


Yeah, this is one of those clerical maximalist private revelations that rears its ugly head around here from time to time. Thus, insulting the Church and the intelligence of her children. I don't doubt that a lot of repressed, young momma's boys with bad skin REALLY want to believe this but, when it comes right down to it, no one with more than a few brain cells rattling around the old noggin takes it seriously. Let's face it, even the most supercharged, super-sized, super-clerical among you would -- when confronted with a priest about to rape a child, or minta puji teriak-teriak macam tidak pernah belajar mengguna pembesar suara yang ada di depan mulutnya, or, say, slice of your mother's petticoat-- drop to his knees and pray. You would, at the very least, call the police. And, if you retained even a semblance of your humanity you'd beat the living hell out of him to protect the innocent. Cling to this garbage and you make an idol of individual priests and you throw the 1st Commandment down the lav……


Some people has become so desperate that the person is now using his/her own 'false teaching' about our Catholics faith to confuse the simple and ignorant faithful of the church to make a point and to sanction his/her illicit doing. In other word he/she is using the Private Revelations of Vogel as an AUTHORITY AND RULE OF FAITH overbidding the teaching of the Church and the Bible. I consulted to a few correspondent priests about Mutter Vogel and his revelations and they were horrified that some educated priest is using Vogel's revelations to score a point and to confuse the public. They said it is the duty of every Christian to report to the bishop when somebody is confusing the public with teachings that is against the teaching of the Catholic Church. A priest is given responsibility over the soul of the faithful and yet what somebody is doing is confusing the faithful by using PRIVATE REVELATIONS that has not been sanctioned by the Church as authority to condone his/her illicit action.

INFO ABOUT ST. ANNE GRANDMOTHER OF JESUS

SAINT ANN, GRANDMOTHER OF JESUS 
Father Weiser explains the customs surrounding Saint Ann or Anne. Her feast day is shared with her husband Joachim on July 26.

DIRECTIONS

Saint Anne, or Ann, is not mentioned in the Bible. It was only in legendary books of the early Christian centuries that the names of Mary's parents were given as Joachim and Anne. Since the Fathers of the Church rejected the use of such legendary sources, the faithful in Europe had no feast in honor of our Lord's grand-parents. In the Middle East, however, the veneration of Saint Anne can be traced back to the fourth century.

The Crusaders brought the name and legend of Saint Anne to Europe, and the famous Dominican Jacobus de Voragine (1298) printed the story in his Golden Legend. From that time on the popular veneration of the saint spread into all parts of the Christian world. It was encouraged by the religious orders of the Franciscans, Dominicans, Augustinians, and Carmelites. In southern France a Feast of Saint Anne was celebrated as early as the fourteenth century. Pope Urban VI in 1378 extended it to England at the king's request. Not until 1584, however, did the feast become universal, when Pope Gregory XIII prescribed it for the whole Church.

As grandmother of Christ and mother of Mary, Saint Anne soon became the patron of married women, and for childless couples a special aid in obtaining children. According to legend she was married three times, first to Joachim, after his death to Cleophas, and finally to Salomas. This detail of the ancient story inspired young women to turn to her for help in finding a husband. After all, since she had had three husbands herself, should she not be able and willing to provide at least one bridegroom for those who trustingly appealed to her? In the languages of all European nations young women implored her: I beg you, holy mother Anne, Send me a good and loving man.

Her patronage of fertility was extended also to the soil. Thus she became a patron of rain. It is a popular saying in Italy that "rain is Saint Anne's gift"; in Germany, July rain was called "Saint Anne''s dowry"

Finally, the gentle grandmother of the Lord is everywhere invoked as one of the great helpers for various needs of body and soul. Many churches have been erected to her, most of them becoming famous centers of pilgrimages. One of the best-known shrines in this part of the world is St. Anne de Beaupré in Quebec, Canada.

From the eighteenth century on, Anne, which means "grace," was used more and more as a favorite name for girls. At the beginning of the nineteenth century it was the most popular girls' name in central Europe, surpassing even that of Mary. This preference was based on a famous saying of past centuries, "All Annes are beautiful." Naturally, parents wanted to assure this benefit for their baby daughters by calling them Anne or by adding Anne to a first name. Thus we have the many traditional names containing Anne or Ann (Mary Ann, Marianne, Marian, Ann Marie, Joanne, Elizabeth Ann, Lillian, Martha Ann, Louise Ann, Patricia Ann).

A hundred years ago there still remained the custom in many parts of Europe of celebrating Saint Anne's Day as a festival "of all Annes," meaning all beautiful girls. Dressed in their finery the bevy would parade through the streets with their escorts, bands would serenade them in parks and squares, balls would be held (both Johann Strausses composed "Anne Polkas" for this festival). Saint Anne's Eve was the day of receptions for debutantes at court and in private homes. Public amusements, including fireworks, entertained the crowds. The warm summer night was alive with laughter, beauty, music, and lights. And all of it was still connected in the hearts and minds of the participants with a tribute to Saint Anne, whose feast day shed its radiance upon this enchanting celebration.

LITURGICAL PRAYER — O God, who didst deign to confer on Saint Anne the grace to be the mother of her who was to give birth to Thy only-begotten Son: mercifully grant us, who celebrate her feast, that we may be helped by her intercession.

SPECIAL INFO

www.ucatholic.com
St. Dismas was the so-called Good Thief who was crucified along with another thief (later named Gestas) and Jesus on the hill called Golgotha on the outskirts of Jerusalem. St. Dismas is the patron Saint of those condemned to Death.

Names of the Three Kings (Three Wise Men), and the gifts that each brought to the baby Jesus.
According to Matthew 2:1-12, "wise men" came from the East to visit Jesus, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense (an aromatic gum resin used in incense and perfumes), and myrrh (another aromatic plant resin). Christian tradition holds that these Magi (members of a priestly caste of ancient Persia) were named Balthazar, Gaspar, and Melchior. It is not clear just who carried which gift; the biblical account, in fact, makes no reference to specific names, or even to the fact that there were exactly three visitors. That number is deduced from the fact that there were three gifts.
Traditions identify a variety of different names for the Magi. In the Western Christian church they have been commonly known as:
Melchior (also Melichior), a Persian scholar
Caspar (also Gaspar, Jaspar, Jaspas, Gathaspa, and other variations), an Indian scholar
Balthazar (also Balthasar, Balthassar, and Bithisarea), an Arabian scholar
More information on wise men from the East, at JW McGarvey's "The Fourfold Gospel."

DOCTRINE ABOUT CATHOLIC PRIESTS
As the largest Christian religion, the Catholic church relies on its priests to lead the church congregation. A priest has to uphold all of the Catholic beliefs and values at all times. 

TIME FRAME: Becoming a Catholic priest takes eight years of education after graduating high school. The first four years are generally spent at a college or university to work on earning a Bachelors Degree, such as philosophy or religious studies. It is possible to become a priest without having a college degree. In that case, the years that are normally spent in college are spent at the seminary in a preliminary course. Next comes four years in the seminary, in which the man focuses on learning the Catholic interpretation of the Bible and other information. Once the man is out of the seminary, he enters a six-month internship, where he is considered a deacon. Once this is done, the man is a priest.

CONSIDERATIONS: Only men who take a vow of poverty, chastity and obedience can become priests. The Catholic church doesn't allow priests to marry or have romantic relationships. If a priest decides to marry, he must leave the priesthood. He can, however, serve the diocese as a deacon. 

TYPES: There are two main types of priests. Diocesan priests, who serve the diocese they preside over, and Religious Order priests, who focus on wide scale teaching and community service. While there is only one kind of Diocesan priest, there are four Religious Orders of Catholic priests. The Jesuits were originally formed by Saint Ignatius Loyola in 1540 as an independent religious organization. After discovering the organization needed the help of an established religion, he offered his organization to the Pope. The Benedictine Order is made up of monk, who are often called "black monks." The Dominicans or Order of the Friars Preachers, is part of a larger order that includes the Dominican Sisters or nuns. The Franciscans Order was originally founded by Saint Francis. It includes three divisions of priests, nuns and other religious authorities, such as deacons.

Geography: Catholic priests can be found throughout the world. The center of the priesthood is in Rome, Italy. This is where the head of the Catholic church, the Pope, lives. The majority of Catholic priests are found in Europe and North America.

Function: A Catholic priest has numerous responsibilities. They preside over mass, counsel church members, perform Catholic rites such as weddings, funerals, last rites, baptisms, communion and confession. Priests make house calls and visit people in hospitals. Many priests are active in their community.
