A Small Treatise: // by Steve Hendel
"Restructuring the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church..."
"Restructuring the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church..."
What a daring thing to say. I only remember the Church
restructuring through Vatican II under Pope John XXIII in 1962; from its 4 constitutions, 9 decrees, 3 declarations, and other discussions of
Church...homosexuality and pedophilia were probably never brought up. There has never been a "Council" or "Vatican" to take on the issue of the sins and sin life-styles of priests, brothers, and nuns practicing homosexuality and pedophilia (by sins and sin life-styles, I refer to 1 Cor 6: 9-10. In this scripture, the context is Paul enumerating sin life-styles). The reason for this "oversight" is due to the fact that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church provides for a thriving, sinful nest of homosexuals and pedophile lifestyles.

The reason for this "oversight" is due to the fact that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church provides for a thriving, sinful nest of homosexuals and pedophile lifestyles.
The very leadership of the Church practices, hides, and perpetuates these lifestyles. Again, what a daring thing to say. No one has ever called for this kind of restructuring before. Prior "Vaticans" and "Councils" have been for liturgy, Canon, heresies; but no "Vaticans" and "Councils" have been called for the matter of "sin" and "sin lifestyles" of its own clergy.
The restructuring I am calling for is not small; it is overwhelming. Restructuring in this case, in the case of the Church, is to separate the Church from its living and great sin. The restructuring is a repentance in itself (heh, a
sacrament!). There is no secret about the sin of the Church. The problem is in repenting for the sin; eradicating the sin. Name the sin.
The sins that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church must repent of and separate itself from are several: 1. Homosexuality; 2. Pedophilia; 3.
Denying both exist; 4. Hiding the sins and the sinful.
The solution to the Church's great sins? Restructuring. The restructuring I am talking about is foundation-shaking change. This foundation-shaking change is scriptural (again, I refer you to 1 Cor 6: 9-10). The following are vicious changes, yet are foundationally necessary. Also, I want you to think about this one statistic...there are over 800 religious orders in the Catholic Church. These over 800 religious orders are only part of the problem of the Catholic Church.
Most of the over 800 religious orders are... religious orders (not "civilian"). They do not go home to their wives and family at the end of the day. They go home to each other; men to men, women to women. Again, think about this number...there are over 800...religious orders in the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church. You wonder why there is unchecked homosexuality and pedophilia?
The solution: (ominous sounding)!
1. All Brotherhoods and Societies (i.e.: Franciscan, Benedictine, Society of Jesus (Jesuits) must cease. They are similar to men's prisons in that they promote homosexuality. This includes the termination of the "institution" of all monasteries. Simply...no religious orders/brothers. The brothers/monks are to be sent HOME. The priests HAVE to be heterosexual, marry and become diocesan.
2. All convents and formation of novitiates must cease for the same reason. Their lifestyle is similar to that of women in prison and promotes homosexuality. Simply...no religious "sisters."
3. All homosexual; bisexual; transvestite...all non-HETEROsexual priests MUST be de-frocked immediately and sent home.
4. All pedophiles must be defrocked immediately and sent home and/or, if possible, turned over to authorities.
5. The Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church MUST end celibacy. The Church WAY over-reacted to Paul. Paul ONLY said, "I wish you could be celibate like me."
Jesus Himself chose men in various stations of life (none of which were homosexual or pedophile). The Catholic Church itself, paradoxically and ironically, teaches that Peter, a married man with children, was Jesus' choice (and therefore the Father's choice) among all the disciples for Pope. That we know of, there were only 2 married of the 12. Jesus had 10 single men to choose from for head of the Church.
Please note: none of the 12 were practicing homosexuals; nor were any of the 12 practicing CELIBATE homosexuals; none of the 12 were pedophiles. That I can tell, THE major sin in the ranks of the disciples was doubt (Thomas).
6. Immediately (!!) recruit married men into the priesthood. I only include heterosexual men, and if married, married to one wife (scripture).
There are mainstream protestant churches which flaunt their distaste for Canon scripture, and have fully embraced lifestyle sexual sins. Mainstream protestant churches flaunt same-sex partners (men as wives, men as husbands; women as wives, women as husbands) in open, homosexual, pastoral/pastorate relationships. Their SYNODS allow same-sex marriage. The Roman Catholic Church has never truly flaunted homosexual relationships, or pedophile relationships. But the Catholic Church has actually "internally," supported both homosexual and pedophile relationships (lifestyles); this"handling" of serial, felonious, pedophile priests is from the "top down."

This ultimate neglect of the "matter" by the top representatives of the Church is a serial catastrophe of sin, both against God, children, the Church, and the pedophile priests. I stated earlier that the over 800 religious orders of the Church was only a part of the problem.
The Catholic Church claims they do a background check on all individuals and investigate the character of hopeful seminarians. Yet, when an actual PRIEST is found to be a practicing homosexual or pedophile, the Holy Orders of the priest take precedence over his life-style sin or crime. Here, Apostolic Succession permits the sin life-style. If a hopeful candidate would not be admitted for these sound reasons, why would the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church KEEP this felon? Protect him? Move him about to other parishes to greatly harm other children? Holy Orders is God-given (the Catholic Church claims, as with Paul to Timothy); yet, if Paul were here, of course Paul himself would turn him in.
Acts 5: 1-11 Ananias and Sophira dropped dead before Peter by the Holy Spirit HIMSELF because they simply LIED to the Holy Spirit about their finances. Ananias
and Sophira actually lied to the Holy Spirit and sinned against the Holy Spirit. Mind you...no one is without sin: guaranteed (1 John 8-10). But there is sin that should not be tolerated in the Catholic Church. Many other church synods have "modernized" scripture to the point that the homosexual lifestyle (1 Cor 6: 9-10) is corporate and acceptable behavior. To these other church synods, the homosexual lifestyle is no sin. Therefore, certain non-Roman Catholic Churches conduct themselves with same-sex married pastorates. They embrace this sin and call it holy marriage. I encourage Catholics to embrace
scripture and not let opinion override scripture. Presently, there is now no "traditional" Canon in many protestant sects. Good is now evil, and evil is now good. The complete and purposeful mistranslation of homosexual sin includes the "belief" that man is, by nature, bi-sexual, as (it is taught) are animals. There is no sin. Many gay organizations believe that Jesus was a homosexual and his partner was John, the disciple.
What occurred in the Catholic Church is the slow poisoning by the "Trojan horse" of celibacy. This slow poisoning by celibacy brought the ability to hide homosexuality, especially made easy in Societies and Brotherhoods and convents. Since the homosexuality of Catholic clergy is never outwardly flaunted, parishioners never know. No; parishioners only see their priests, brothers and nuns as people to be revered, respected and trusted. How many practicing homosexuals were elevated to sainthood...by other homosexuals...or at least beatified. 1 Cor 6: 9-10 states that homosexuals will not enter the Kingdom of God. Yet, the Catholic Church might have made them saints?
Mandatory (Canon) celibacy was simply a very bad decision...even to the promoting of spiritual sin into the temporal, legal world of the criminal: the pedophile and the lifestyle of pedophilia. It is true that as early as the Council of Nicaea in 325, the arguments for celibacy were waged. I admit I quote from the internet; that Paphnutius of Thebes, an unmarried man, testified that marriage, itself, was as honorable and chaste as celibacy, that, heh, "actual" cohabitation and intercourse with your wife was chaste. He therefore advised against framing such a law as it would be difficult to bear. Paphnutius knew that neither Jesus nor Paul commanded celibacy, but suggested celibacy because of persecution and deaths against Christians. Peter's wife was martyred. Again, neither Jesus nor Paul commanded celibacy. They urged it as a possibility, but there was no law. Jesus enacted only two laws: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul; the second was like the
first...love your neighbor as yourself.
Again, some protestant sects don't care about the traditional Canons; actual accepted Canon scripture. They care about the moderns, being seeker-sensitive and not sensitive anymore to the Holy Spirit, forsaking what is holy. The Catholic Church has not yet stepped over THAT line...of flaunting same-sex priest marriage. The Catholic Church's catastrophe is celibacy...having to do with heterosexuals...which many clergy and nuns are not. Celibacy has, therefore, nothing to do with them. Celibacy is an absolute Canon...yet, solely man-made. Neither Jesus nor Paul demanded celibacy. It is good that all men be as Jesus and Paul. Jesus and Paul yet BOTH stated that not all men can be celibate. They never once said that the priesthood is ONLY for celibates. Priests, therefore, do not have to be celibate. Priests CAN marry. Most men and women can't be celibate. It is time for the Catholic Church to dump the one-liner excuses which are used to terrorize the priesthood. Paul did say, "I wish you could be as I am." Paul also stated, "Marry so you don't burn." There was no celibacy requirement to
accept Jesus as Savior...nor to become a priest follower. WWJD? What would Jesus "did?" According to the Catholic Church, He chose a married Peter to be the first Pope. Jesus chose correctly. Later, the Church chose wrongly...and destroyed many a kid's life with perversion. It is highly possible that men who do not marry, and especially live together (as in a prison) are far more prone to homosexuality and pedophilia.
Holy Orders. Holy Orders are seen by the Catholic Church as sort of being on "auto-pilot." Even if a priest remains in Mortal Sin, when he celebrates the Mass, Transubstantiation takes place solely because of Holy Orders. It is the Office of the priesthood, not the condition of the celebrant's soul, which "conducts" Transubstantiation. I say "Nay, nay!" The Catholic Church's "translation" of Holy Orders is on the level of "once saved, always saved," and magic, so long as the priest has not been laicized. Paul says "Nay, nay, not true." Paul says not to pray for someone in the condition of certain kinds of sin, that they are given over to "anathematic" sin life-styles..."that they have tasted the fruit of the Spirit (Hebrews 6).
These include the lifestyle sins of homosexuality and pedophilia; pedophiles (their life-styles) are reprobate; Paul put Christians living in sin life-styles on their own before Christ, not to be united to the Body of Christ. When a reprobate "Christian" sins against the Holy Spirit, he sins against the very Body and Blood of Jesus, making the sacrifice of the Cross null and void for him. There is no more forgiveness. You are on your own before the Father to be rightfully accused by the Devil to the Father. You have no Savior.
It is my contention that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church...itself...is near to being reprobate before the Father. The Catholic Church is about to have no Savior. The Catholic Church cannot provide its own savior. The candlestick is about to be removed.
