This Christmas, Why Don’t We Just Honor Mary As The Mother of God & Not Worry About What “The Bible” Craves?

Mandeville, LA – I haven’t received an email like this in over a year and am delighted to receive and respond to this one, showing, the Veritas Radio Network’s CRUSADE Channel is still reaching new souls. I invite your comments and prayers on the matter.

Dear Sal,

Thanks for the note and for listening, I will answer some of your charges inline.

Pax Christi,

Mike Church

Love the show but.

I just started listening to your show. My name is Salvxxxx Xxxxxx I am not a founders pass member. You say listener supported no advertising but you talk about Veritas radio everytime I turn it on. Do it once a hour for a minute please maybe twice. I rather hear ads than hear you talk about being a founders pass member for a half hour every hour. A ad is supposed to be 30 seconds.

It’s my network and I answer to 13 souls who derive some or all of their subsistence from the Founder’s Pass, what shall I tell them, Sal?

I like the show other wise. You need a non Catholic Christian side kick to talk to once in awhile that would make it very interesting.

I was raised Catholic but now I do not go to a church.

Then you should know you are committing a grave mortal sin every Sunday.

How do people get saved if they live in a country where there are no Catholic Churches?

The Mystical body of Christ is everywhere “where 2 or more are gathered in my name there am I”.

There was a church before Catholic Church  that were in the houses in the days of paul.

“Catholic” is Greek for universal. Pick a dictionary of ecclessiastical terms up and read it from time to time.

The Jewish temple got destroyed because Jesus lives in us now

“Before Abraham I am.” And “you are Peter and upon this rock I will establish my Church.” Is Christ a liar? Was he joking? Was that a pun?

The church is like you’re bringing back  the Jewish temple

See above, your heresy is sinful.

They had church back then because a lot of people couldn’t read and didn’t have Bibles 

The Catholic Church under Saint Damasus assembled the Bible, please read a history book once per decade. Saint Jerome was charged with translating “sacred texts” into the Vulgate (vulgar i.e. common) so Romans could read/hear the inerrant word of God. Saint Paul didn’t have a “Bible” yet he was a bishop and a priest. Where, pray tell, would he have re enacted the Passion if not IN a Church? 

Galatians 3:28 – There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus

Why did Saint Paul write letters to the people of Gaul? So they could read their King James and “have a personal relationship wth Christ Jesus”?

Galatians 2:20 – “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

And what do you do in return? You skip the reanctment and honor he is due via the Mass. Nice going.

Hebrews 10:16 – This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

Immediately after Christ’s ascension Christians began citing the 12 tenets of what is known as The Creed. The Creed requires your faith and obedience to One (Unam) Holy (Sanctam) and Apostolic Church (Apostolicam Ecclessiam), that is His law. “You have no power but what was given you by my Father.” Christ acknowledged the earthly power of The State and submitted to it. This is a type of The Church. Why do you deny this, he didn’t?

Acts 7:48 “However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49 “‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me?
says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be?
50 Has not my hand made all these things?’[l]
51 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!

Mary can’t forgive sins she didn’t died for our sins.

I never said that The Mother of God can forgive sins and you are scandalizing me by claiming I did. take it back. I forgive you, and then honor the Mother of God, the woman chosen by God tobear his son. You really wanna go there?

Jesus died on the cross not Marry

Again, see above, what did she do to you? She AGREED to bear the God-Man and yet you mock her as if she is just Jane Doe who stumbled upon the Holy Ghost after a night out with Saint Joseph and the boys. Stop. What did CHRIST say to Saint John at the Crucifixion? I will quote from the Bible for you:

[26] When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
Cum vidisset ergo Jesus matrem, et discipulum stantem, quem diligebat, dicit matri suae: Mulier, ecce filius tuus.

[27] After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
Deinde dicit discipulo: Ecce mater tua. Et ex illa hora accepit eam discipulus in sua.

Where was Saint Paul when Christ was Crucified? Planning to stone His followers. Where was Saint John? at the foot of the Cross comforting Christ’s mother and obeying his command to take Her as his mother. What do you say to this? You pierce Christ’s heart by mocking the holiness of the woman CHOSEN from inception to be His mother. Stop.

What is the Bible definition of church?
The word church in the Bible comes from the Greek word ecclesia, which means a called out company or assembly. Wherever it is used in the Bible it refers to people. It can be a mob (Acts 19:30-41), the children of Israel (Acts 7:38), and the body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22; Ephesians 5:25, 32).
We see the word church used three different ways: First, as the body of Christ, the church is often defined as a local assembly or group of believers (1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Galatians 1:1-2). Second, it is defined as the body of individual living believers (1 Corinthians 15:9; Galatians 1:13). Finally, it is defined as the universal group of all people who have trusted Christ through the ages (Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 5:23-27).
No where in the Bible it mentions Catholic. it mentions other churches like galatians.
I would love to call in and talk but I can’t while I am working.

Nowhere isn the Bible does it mention “The Bible” and if you can produce a sentence that it does I will convert to your Deism.

Revelation 21:8 –  But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Only the unbelieving go to hell not the ones who don’t go to Catholic Church

Again, The Church is the earthly representative of the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mass and the Sacraments are administered through Christ’s Church for our benefit. If you don’t want to go to Mass, stay home and write me another 70 paragraphs tomorrorw and live in abject, Mortal Sin. I will pray for you, brother.

Revelation 22:18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

So the words of Saint John the Evangelist trump the commands of Christ?! Really!? Pray tell Sal, what did Saint john do on Sundays? Here’s a clue, he went to Mass and ministered to the faithful. How do I know this? I read about it in his biography, can you explain to me WHAT building and WHAT service was being conducted in the Church referred to in this passage? No, you can’t because you’ll have to go to Mass tomorrow. (see Alban Butler’s Live of The Saints, Fathers & Martyrs)

“The largest measures of this charity with which our apostle’s breast was inflamed, he expressed in the admirable zeal which he showed for the souls of men; in which service he spent himself without ever being weary in journeys, in preaching, in enduring patiently all fatigues, breaking through all difficulties and discouragements, shunning no dangers that he might rescue men from error, idolatry, or the snares of vice. A remarkable instance is recorded by Clement of Alexandria and Eusebius. 39 When St. John returned from Patmos to Ephesus, he made a visitation of the churches of Lesser Asia to correct abuses, and supply them with worthy pastors. Coming to a neighbouring city, after having made a discourse, he observed a young man in the company, of a fair stature, and pleasing aspect, and being much taken with him he presented him to the bishop, whom he had ordained for that see, saying: “In the presence of Christ, and before this congregation, I earnestly recommend this young man to your care.” The bishop took the trust upon him, and promised to discharge it with fidelity. The apostle repeated his injunction, and went back to Ephesus. The young man was lodged in the bishop’s house, instructed, kept in good discipline, and at length baptized and confirmed by him. When this was done, the bishop, as if the person had been now in a state of security, began to slacken the reins, and be less watchful over him. This was quickly perceived by a company of idle, debauched wretches, who allured the youth into their society. By bad company he soon forgot the precepts of the Christian religion, and passing from one degree of wickedness to another, at length stifled all remorse, put himself at the head of a band of robbers, and, taking to the highway, became the most cruel and profligate of the whole band. Some time after, St. John was again called to the same city, and when he had settled other affairs, said to the bishop, “Restore to me the trust which Jesus Christ and I committed to you in presence of your church.” The bishop was surprised, imagining he meant some trust of money. But the saint explained himself that he spoke of the young man, and the soul of his brother which he had entrusted to his care. Then the bishop, with sighs and tears, said: “Alas! he is dead.” “What did he die of?” said our saint. The bishop replied, “He is dead to God, is turned robber, and instead of being in the church with us, he hath seized on a mountain, where he lives with a company of wicked men like himself.” The holy apostle having heard this, rent his garments, and fetching a deep sigh, said, with tears, “Oh! what a guardian have I provided to watch over a brother’s soul!” Presently he called for a horse and a guide, and rode away to the mountain where the robber and his gang kept their rendezvous; and being made prisoner by their sentinels he did not offer to fly or beg his life, but cried out, “It is for this I am come: lead me to your captain.” They conducted the saint to him, who stood at first armed to receive him: but when he saw it was St. John, was seized with a mixture of shame and fear, and began to make off with precipitation and confusion. The apostle forgetting his feebleness and old age, pursued him full speed, and cried out after him in these words: “Child, why do you thus fly from me your father, unarmed and an old man? My son, have compassion on me. There is room for repentance: your salvation is not irrecoverable. I will answer for you to Jesus Christ. I am ready most willingly to lay down my life for you, as Jesus Christ laid down his life for all men. I will pledge my soul for yours. Stay: believe me I am sent by Christ.” At these words, the young man stood still, with his eyes fixed upon the ground; then throwing away his arms he trembled and burst into tears. When the apostle came up, the penitent, bathed in tears, embraced his tender father, imploring forgiveness, but he hid his right hand which had been sullied with many crimes. By his sighs and bitter compunction, he endeavoured to satisfy for his sins as much as he was able, and to find a second baptism, in his tears, as our author, St. Clement, emphatically expresses it. The apostle, with wonderful condescension and affection, fell on his knees before him, kissed his right hand, which the other endeavoured in confusion to conceal, gave him fresh assurances of the divine pardon, and earnestly praying for him, brought him back to the church. He continued some time in that place for his sake, praying and fasting with him and for him, and comforting and encouraging him with the most affecting passages of the holy scriptures. Nor did he leave the place till he had reconciled him to the church, that is, by absolution restored him to the participation of the sacraments.”

 

Again, what building did he take the young man to? What’s that Sal? A CHURCH? Did I even read the Saint John heard the man’s confession!? Yeah, that just happened. What a silly “Catholic” Saint John the Evangelist was!

1 Corinthians 13:13
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love you brother Mike Church
