How to Talk to an Atheist about Christianity

Madrid, Spain, Feb 22, 2007 / 12:38 pm (CNA).- In an interview with the Italian daily “La Stampa,” journalist and writer Vittorio Messori recently denounced the World Health Organization (WHO), certain Masonic groups, gay rights organizations, pharmaceutical corporations, and powerful ecological organizations as anti-Catholic “lobbies” that “hate Christianity out of nostalgia for paganism.”

Messori told the Italian newspaper, “The actions of these influential pressure groups are not only directed against marriage and the family from the perspective of the faith, but also at any ethical and moral concern of the Church.” He pointed to the World Health Organization as a prime example of a “politically correct” radical liberal organization that seeks to promote “contraception, abortion, and prenatal testing to eliminate fetuses with deformations.” Other groups promote a radical environmentalism that is linked to paganism, he said, and certain Masonic organizations, especially in Latin America, “influenced by the French and the Spanish, are also hostile to Catholic morality.”

These “lobbies referred to by the Pope,” Messori continued, “include large homosexual organizations, many from the English-speaking world. Like all minorities, gays often fight among themselves in their communities, but especially in the US they overcome their disagreements through a practically unanimous aversion to ‘papist’ ethics.”

He also noted the influence of the “colossal pharmaceutical industry” which makes millions from the sale of contraceptive pills, condoms and other drugs that violate the Church’s moral teaching.

While Messori said that many of these problems constitute a frontal assault on the Church from outside, he also noted that the Church sufferers from within as well. “Sometimes I have the impression that the Pope is a general without troops,” he stated.

“Today we are witnessing a kind of hidden schism among believers who, without publicly showing it, in private do not obey the moral norms of the Church. They are people who, if you ask them, say they are Catholic, they even go to Mass, but they do not follow the directives on sexual and family ethics. This includes everything from the use of contraceptives to the acceptance of divorce, living together outside marriage, homosexuality and even abortion,” Messori said.

I speak for all fellow Catholics, that we must fight all these agents of satan, Masonics, liberal, maricas (gays in spanish) ect. This artilce must be engraved on every mind on what we need to do in order to maintain our salvation and faith despite all the non-sense that is going on. Modernism is the devil's favorite weapon to steal some good souls. Our hispanic community is in GREAT disorder thanks to this Novus Ordo era! But Benedict the 16th will fix all of what has been broken down drastically 40 years ago. He had done lots of thing that the last 4 popes had never done. First he mentioned that "the Novus Ordo is NOT WORKING OUT!" Plus he is demanding these bishops NOT to forbid the REAL Latin Mass! Of course many bishops here does not obey the pontiff! But we have to ask God and our Lady for streigth wisdom and protector in this perverted era! But we still have the power to convert ourselves which is the first priority and others which is the 2nd.

St Bernadette Pray for us!

Bravo Messori! Please, Please can we get rid of the masonic & libertarian cabals in Catholic Rome, Paris, New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere. It is time for Roman Catholics to fight back. We have accepted too much sociologically and psychologically relativised nonsense for too long. These groups are turning european & American societies upside down toward moral and social chaos. They have even used phoney concepts such as "homophobia" to impose sodomy on our cultures. This is in flagrant disobedience to God's natural law. The fact that many modern "catholic" hierarchs support this immoral un-Catholic regimens demonstrates that the enemy is within. When Portugal gives a minority vote approving abortion and bishops there say almost nothing in public to urge Catholics to vote against it, then there is definitely something very amiss.

The Church is threatened by innumerable enemies, and there are few places in the world where hatred for Holy Mother Church and Christ's Vicar are tolerated with more aplomb than the U.S.

Those of us who consider ourselves faithful sons and daughters of the Church must first stand up and proclaim ourselves as such.
Then the battle must be joined against the entire spectrum of false prophets - both political parties, academia (especially pseudo-Catholic universities), the pro-death and homosexual lobbies, Islam, ad nauseam.

It will require greater strength and perseverence than most of us realize, but if we have faith in God, the solicitude of His Mother, and the enduring nature of His Church, we cannot fail.

He omits the most dangerous enemy, the enemy from within. One needs only read the encyclicals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to find clear definitions of the modern errors. The Syllabus does it the most succinctly, Pascendi in detail. Modernism is the heresy described by former popes as "the synthesis of all heresies". Add up all the modern dissent and you'll find that you have denied just about everything in faith and morals. It works so well because it excuses everyone without them even having to be sorry, or even change their behavior. It doesn't help whensome of our clerics are the most depraved of all. Let us not forget that the murder in time of our Lord was perpetrated by the High Priest of the true Religion, with the aid of one of His company. They'll murder Him again and again until He returns to vanquish all doubt of His ultimate Glory! Hope in Jesus, for you will be saved by no other. +JMJ+ Steve kampe, MI

While the last 40 years have been extremely trying for the Church, as mentioned by another in his comments, let us not forget that the Holy Spirit continues to work in spite of human weakness and sin.

The number of Catholics has doubled in the last 50 years, from .5 Billion to 1.2 Billion.

The Church is also youngest and strongest south of the equator, and it will be from there that then new missionary evangelization will reintroduce itself to the secularized North.

While this is a great time of trial for the Church it is also a great time of blessing for us. If things were going well we, as individuals, would not have such a great opportunity for heroic witness to the gospel.

Let not this time of evil be also a time of lamentation. Jesus has already won for us the victory.

Everyone can now see that Satan is on the march. We can stop this through prayer and fasting. What we would like to see happen will not unless we pray and fast as a group. We cannot wait for those who should be leading the good fight. So, from this day forward we pray for conversions of all our friends, relatives and enemies. If you cannot get to daily Mass, EWTN offers two hours of prayer including the rosary and Mass each day beginning at 7:00am. Jesus and Mary have promised us that they will take care of the rest if we trust in Them.

For quite some time now the Western world had allowed humanism to dictate policies. Unfortunately, some ill-conceived laws have been introduced at the instigation of Churh/Religion/God haters. These pander to our self-serving attitudes and actions. Our Lord came to show us that we need love—not the sweet sentimental kind, but rather the forgiving, sacrificng type—and obedience to His Father's will. We, as God's children, should do our best to spread the Lord's message. No humanist could more loving and caring than Jesus.

Let's pray that the laity is taking a long term approach and slowly but surely strengthening the home Church, the family for the next generation. The past 40 years have been like the two stiff necked generations that Moses had to endure in the desert. Let us hope that the leaders of tomorrow know, love and serve the Truine God in the Spirit of Truth, through the grace supplied by the Holy Eucharist and seeking the Will of the Father. The best way I know to accomplish this is to lovingly take Mother Mary's hand.

Our faith is very simple, but true simplicity is so foreign to this over organized world that it seems we are up against the wall, with no place to run.

We have the Fullness of Truth, we have the Victory...Do we have the courgage to live like our lives depended on it?

Believe it or not, our eternal destiny does!

Q: What is the most important act that we can do each day?

A: Be a faithful participant in Holy Mass and worthily receive Our Lord so as to be a light to a world that is in the throes of darkness.

Think about it....if we really believe in the Real Presence and if we really believe that sacramental grace is the key to a life of holiness in order to live one's vocation in life, what do you think would happen if there were seven days of worthy reception of the Eucharist, for the one billion Catholics on this earth? (hint..think Ark and OT Jericho)

So the solution...get the word out...THE HOLY EUCHARIST IS GOD AND HE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

At least Bishop Bruscawitz(correct my spelling) finally got approval to excommunicate many so-called Catholic orgs. We need more like him. I felt badly for Archbishop Burke at the bishops conference when Bishop Skylsted (?) cut him off so abruptly. He's one of many who needs to wake up to all the damage they're doing to the church. They're too concerned about what's in the collection plate rather than what's on their souls and the souls of their flock. I'm fairly certain that if the priests and bishops "told it like it is" their collections would increase. As John Paul the Great said, "Be not afraid."

I will get much worse before it gets better. Parents must innoculate their kids against these ideas and teach their children not to subscribe to these lies. I see them pushed in my child's school and must reinforce their feelings that homosexuality is not pleaseing to God and they don't have to agree with the teacher because the Catholic church teaches a different perspective. You must anchor the deposit of faith into your children's hearts because these organizations and others will seek to dilute their faith and replace it with their pagan beliefs.

I'm a practicing Roman Catholic. An employer [a Roman Catholic organization, sponsored by a world reknown Roman Catholic religious community], pressured me regularly to apply on its behalf, to grant making organizations who historically award funding to Planned Parenthood. I refused and my job ended - at their request. When first hired, I believed I was working for an organization faithful to the teachings of the Church. This organization does a lot of evening work with very poor children & youth. What are they teaching them about sexual abstinence and morals in general? Makes you wonder.

Bishops, its time to clean it up. You will have the support you need from God's faithful people. There's plenty of us out here.

Transferring them to a different diocese certainly has harmed the church with the disgrace of their homosexual behavior. Imagine, behaving like this and then standing on the altar and performing the consecration of the Blessed Sacrament. Shame on all of these
imposters. Is there no one to make them accountable in our Church? Obviously they cannot honestly patrol their own.America's Catholic Church Leaders have become

I see the Catholic Church as an organization as well as the body of Christ. Anyone joining an organization is expected to live by the rules.
I agree that those politicians who claim to be Catholic and don't live by the Pope's teachings should not be allowed to remain in the Catholic Church. I realize we are all sinners and break the rules sometimes (that's why we have the Sacrament of Penance). but those holding office who claim to be Catholic have a much greater need to strive to live by the commandments and rules..
" The higher the power the greater responsibility placed on them."
They are greatly in need of our prayers. A public conversion would certainly be a great sign in the church.
Sometimes when I think of the situation the church is in and our Bishops and priests. I wonder about the saying in the Scripture "to admonish the sinner. Are they doing that?

The enemies without are a given;the world will hate us, but the enemies within are even more dangerous, a poison within the Mystical Body. Perhaps each of us should ask himself how much he has contributed to that poisoning, by failure to conform to the mind of the Church ("That's not infallible!), and by failing charitably to point out to those either unaware or disobedient, that the disciple is first and foremost one who listens to the Master and accepts the teaching. If one does not accet the teaching, he is free to walk away. But let him first ask, "Where would we go?" Perhaps, like Peter, he will realize that, "You alone have the words of eternal life." Our business, after first seeing to our own obedience, is to present the truths of the Master lovingly, and to pray that the seed falls on fertile soil. A bit of fasting goes a long way, too.

I have just finished watching Garabandal, and Eye Witness account. One of the reasons that this Apparition has not been accepted by the church is because Our Lady stated, "Many Cardinals, Bishops and Priests are on the way to Perdition and taking many people with them. Cardinal will be against Cardinal and Bishop against Bishop".
Do Our Lady's words ring true more and more in this day and age. Absolutely, and we must "read the signs of the times". Let us thank God in advance for the Warning which he will send us so that we will all see our souls with the eyes of God.

Vittorio Messori is very inciteful with these comments published in this CNA article. Although it may seem that the Pope as Messori says is a general without troops, in actual fact the Pope chosen by the Holy Spirit in a Papal conclave is today's modern day Apostle Peter the rock of the Catholic Church instituted by Jesus Chirst, God Incarnate and King of Kings. Catholics the world over should never forget that! While it may not seem so today and maybe in future days, Pope Benedict has the backing and support of the one true God who created mankind and the entire universe and beyond. God could change everything in the twinkling of an eye when all seems lost to those of us here on earth. God is in total control and only God knows the day and the hour where the world as we know it will pass into eternity. Pope Benedict XVI is in the only hands that counts because this same God that sustains Pope Benedict and all of mankind will play the ultimate hand in human history when all that is wrong with this world will be made right. Do not despair because victory has already been assured on the Cross. Love, pray and hope for the day when we meet the ultimate and just judge and ultimate God of love and mercy in his eternal heavenly kingdom. Until then pray for Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Church and all its priests, bishops and cardinals, nuns and religious around the entire world to protect them from the snares and traps of the enemy. "Be not afraid." Pray, Pray, Pray!

This is a needed article. The last forty years has been the LAMEST time for Catholicism. We've had Priests and Bishops who stopped teaching the faith, stop teaching about Mortal sin and the reality of Hell, and they stopped holding people like politicians accountable.

Finally, after 40 years orthodoxy is waking up the Church for a Spring time like John Paul II spoke about. A Spring Time when many new converts will come to the faith and many will return to the Catholic Church.

You know, since this is a time for Pennance and in the early times of the Church there were three things that were considered Mortal Sin; Murder, abortion and public Apostacy.

So, I'm wondering why our Bishops won't start Excommunicating enmass all the many so called Catholic Politicians(Demoncrats)that are pro-abortion, pro-embryonic stem cell, pro-gay agenda, etc.

These so called Catholics need to be brought back to Repentence. They need to not be welcomed in the Church until they repent and told that if you want to come in to God's holy house and eat of the Son of God in the Eucharist, then hold fast to the moral teachings of the church.

Sheep need Shephearding. Shepheards we are still waiting for many of you to finally stand up for what is right and stop cozying up to these so called Catholics and condoning their behavior in voting for legislation that is intrinsically evil.

We need the Bishops to step up to the plate and hold politicians and their diocese to be accountable.
