Diversion Tactics

The Roman Catholic Church has been somewhat under the cosh in the past few weeks due to the continuing child abuse scandal within her ranks. Only this week the Pope has decided to write a pastoral letter to Irish Catholics in an effort to restore confidence in the Church. The Catholic Primate of Ireland Cardinal Daly had to apologize this week for not alerting anyone about a certain abuser within the Churches ranks even though he had knowledge of the accusations.

If ever an institution needed something to divert attention from it's problem perverts the Catholic Church does. They must have had a brainstorming session over in Rome this week because it looks like they have found something to divert attention from bad news and get the faithfull back on board. Guess what? The Virgin Mary has appeared again! What a stroke of good fortune!

The Vatican has announced a commission to investigate the apparent daily appearances of the Virgin Mary in the Bosnian town of Medjugorge. According to reports on the BBC this afternoon the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to six individuals every day since June 1981.

Am I just sceptical or does it not seem strange that the Catholic Church chooses this week of bad headlines to announce this commission? After all these alleged appearances were first reported almost 30 years ago. I fear this corrupt organisation would do anything to improve it's public image.

We must realise this is not a church in the Biblical sense but rather it is a pagan, satanic cult masquerading as Christianity. Pray that the Lord will open the eyes of it's blinded adherents and may they find the only true means of salvation. Not Mary, not the Mother Church but the Lord Jesus Christ.

'Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.' Acts 4 10-12
