Text Box: by parents and elders fulfilling these God given duties and responsibilities. The Blessed Trinity and the Three Persons of The Blessed Trinity are not like Captain Planet, or the gilded calf god. Not only do they not need our protection, but we are also incapable of providing such protection.

Fulfilling these duties and responsibilities are for the protection of our children, and ourselves.

“Planet Earth” can do nothing to you. “Mother Nature” can do nothing to you. But if you worship planet Earth or mother nature the real God will not be pleased. Always remember one of the instructions given to us by Christ Jesus, God: fear not he who can kill you and then do nothing; fear Him Who can kill you and also send you for all eternity into the everlasting fires of Hell.

Those who fail to teach their children the truth, and who fail to protect them from the false teachings which adults shrug off as being mere entertainment, do expose themselves to a heightened and greatly increased probability of eternal damnation.

Put very bluntly. If the desire to be holy is not sufficient to entice a parent to parent, and prospect of eternal happiness is not sufficient, and the prospect of the loss of that eternal happiness is not sufficient, perhaps the prospect of roasting in Hell fire for all eternity will be sufficient.

Text Box: That no longer is true.

Amongst the predominant characteristics sought and exhibited by humankind of today are being mean and indecent in ways and to levels of perfection never before envisioned.  Even the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, though they would not be disgusted but rather delighted at the extensive prevalence of raunch, would be surprised that it has not been eradicated either by decent people or through mortal self infection of festering vileness.

Those who contest this assessment should objectively watch one of the late night TV host - guest programs, any one of the so called reality programs, any “situation” show, and virtually any current TV show or movie, especially any “soap opera”. If one continues to disagree after viewing a random selection of such material then the individual who disagrees is in grave danger of loss of their immortal soul. Even many if not most of the “so called” religious programs advocate pursuit of material riches rather than pursuit of eternal salvation and thereby promote satisfaction of the material appetites - promoting raunch.

Why is this so? Why did this happen? Why is humankind of today generally mean and indecent, with kind and decent individuals and behavior being rare? Why? Because God is not a part of the lives of the indecent, the mean, the wallowers in raunch. And since God has made His physical presence available to us in the Sacred Eucharist, matters have become steadily worse where the Eucharist is not.

Before Christ became Incarnate the world was a scruffy place but there were measures of decency because while people generally did not believe in the true God, they did believe in gods and goddesses. They generally believed these deities rewarded humans who worked with the deities and punished those humans who transgressed the deities. People therefore generally lived in accordance with these concepts.
Text Box: God supplemented this attitude with numerous direct contacts to and through selected individuals, providing guidance and a pre Supreme Sacrifice relationship with those individuals. This enabled those individuals, and those who viably attempted to follow God’s instructions, to await in death the Grace of Salvation wrought in the Sacrifice of Christ.

When Jesus Christ became Incarnate, taught, and became the Supreme Sacrifice, the Gospel of Christ quickly became known in varying extents throughout the entire world. Remember, Saint Thomas established Christian communities as far away from Jerusalem as the Northern islands of Japan, China, and India. And that was within the first few decades after the Resurrection.

The Gospel actually spread faster throughout mankind than any other concept had before or has since.

When an area became truly Christian, and then left the true Church, the vacuum created by loss of the Eucharist sucked in the Devil and his followers and they seeped quickly throughout the society like sewerage through sandy or loose soil supported by a clay base.

England is one of the most classic examples of this process. We know there were wars amongst the European powers before the fifteenth century, and that the Mongol Hoard engulfed Byzantium and killed those Christians who would not convert to Islam or be enslaved, and that Roman Crusaders sacked Constantinople butchering Orthodox Clergy, raping their wives and daughters and defecating on the Orthodox altars and Eucharist. But those were sharply defined activities.

And we know there has existed slavery throughout all of history.

But the expulsion of the True Church by English King Henry VIII, and after his death, the extinguishment of any semblance or acknowledgment of the Eucharist, lead to the first instance of a Text Box: If you spin an oriental man in a circle three times, does he become disoriented?
