"But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" [Luke 18:8]
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to help the Faithful to clearly see that "they are being sold a bill of undeliverable goods" by those promising an upcoming "Golden Era". Why? To discourage them? No! A thousand times No!
On the contrary, we want to help protect the faith
of the true children of God by continuously demonstrating - using easy
to confirm facts and figures - that God Is not endorsing those
selling the faithful "the bill of undeliverable goods". It is
man, in his continuing attempt to "Be like unto God", who is
misrepresenting Him for their own petty and very worldly agendas..
BACKGROUND
In several past documents (1) we have shown that obviously the
Evangelization effort of the Church has failed in, essentially, all
fronts. In this document we wish to highlight the country where
the alleged "Way" to save mankind - Escrivá's "Way" - has also
failed even though
his Opus Dei group has a stronghold in the education, politics and
finances in Spain.
Spain, together with Portugal are,
according to Vatican sources, the remaining strongholds of Roman
Catholicism in Western Europe. You shall be able to evaluate the truth
in that now.
From the Catholic Church Statistics (for
the year 2002):
The Spanish State contributed to the
Roman Catholic Church approximately 4,700,000,000 (4.7 billion) US
Dollars equivalence
The Spanish Roman Catholic Church spent
in Programs and Caritas (Charitable enterprises) approximately
39,000,000 US Dollars equivalence (Note that this is only a 0.83 % of what the
State contributes to the Church)
The Spanish Roman Catholic Church has:
112 Seminaries
937 Church orphanages
961 Monasteries
5,197 Educational Centers
22, 964 Parishes
Superimposing on the above statistics
information about the Opus Dei (3):
"Opus Dei was founded by Msgr. Josemaria
Escrivá in 1928 in Madrid with the aim of spreading throughout
all sectors of society a profound awareness of the universal call to
holiness and apostolate (of Christian witness and action) in the
ordinary circumstances of life, and, more specifically, through one's
professional work. On Nov. 28, 1982, Pope John Paul II established Opus
Dei as a personal prelature with the full title, Prelature of the Holy
Cross and Opus Dei."
"Escrivá joined Franco's cause, like practically all bishops, priests, religious and Catholics in Spain and in the world. However, he did not participate in war activities. In 1939 saw the election of Pope Pius XII just in time to bless the victory over communism in Spain. He would be a providential man for the Opus Dei. In 1946 Opus Dei established its first house outside Spain, in the Portuguese university city of Coimbra (4). Opus Dei penetrated the Universities and actually controlled the most ambitious cultural project of the Franco regime, the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations."
Part II
- The Results of the Forces of Evil
From statistics collected and published (2) by the Roman Catholic Church we learn the following facts and figures:
In 1960, 95 %
of the population was a Practicing
Catholic; a number which was dropped
by 45 % to 52 % by 1993
In 1960, 5% of the population was Non Practicing Catholics; a number which increased by 400! % to 32% by 1993
In 1960, no one (dared)
to claim to be Non-religious;
a number which increased to 15% by 1993,
after peaking at 20 % in 1975
A brief
historical notation: In Spain there was an extreme right
Dictatorship (in collusion with the Roman Catholic Church - as it is
customary) up to 1975, when the dictator Francisco Franco died, such
type of regime ended. If one looks at his regime as a 20th Century
version of the Inquisition, one can understand why in 1960 no one dared
to claim to be non-religious while 95 % "claimed" to be practicing
Catholics. Homosexuals were sent and kept in pseudo concentration camps.
The Health Minister of Spain, reported during the second half of 2004
that:
* The use of cannabis and cocaine in
Spain is above the average for the European Union.
* The use of cocaine has doubled
in the last 10 years.
* The young cocaine users went from 1.8 % of total users to 6.9 % of
all users. This translates to 144,000 young ones have consumed cocaine
in the last 12 months. [NOTE:
Spain population as of 2003 was 41,500,000 inhabitants]
From Statistics
published by the Instituto Universitario de Investigación Sobre
Seguridad Interior we
also see that:
Crime has increased in Spain by 33 % from
1993 through 2003
From visual observation of, and from intermingling with, Spanish population at all levels we see in "social satire" format that:
* Most Spaniards under 30 are only in
Church if it is their funeral (Unless they are in a Catholic School and
are forced to attend. Once out of the "forced attendance"
condition, they, naturally drop out.
* It used to be: "Drink and be merry and enjoy it" now it is "Drink
just to get drunk and escape."
* The lack of vocations will not be a problem here. Those who regularly
attend Church in Spain are about the same age of the remaining priests.
The question is who will die first, the last priest or the last Church
attendee.
* Words as "my wife" or "my husband" are almost extinct in the newer
generations. What one hears more often is "my partner" - which means:
"The one I am having sex with now on a regular basis but not serious
enough to marry."
What we do not see anywhere is the
alleged million plus youths who went to the last Papal Youth Jamboree
in Madrid. They are certainly not in Church!
IN CONCLUSION
Once again - and we will never tire of
repeating it:
Now, we have shown that in their home
country, a country they control, those who felt so special as to
manipulate H.H. John Paul II to set them as a parallel Church - The
Personal Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei - have obviously and
logically also failed to turn back the tide of evil. We actually
venture to say that, by their elitist sectarian behavior they
have accelerated the Demise of the Faith in Spain just as they did in
Portugal.
If it is not them, then, who is at fault?
God? Is evil stronger than God?
The Opus Dei leadership, brothers and
sisters, is the one who claims that they are going to save the Catholic
Church and the world and they cannot even lead their home country, a
country which they control. Tragically, far too many wish to believe
this "bill of undeliverable goods" because they have been given "the pious formula" on how they can
"legitimately" serve Mammon and God - in direct contradiction to
anything that may be found in the New Testament.
We have done all
we can to warn them of their errors.
Now, you must decide: Are you going to trust God or man?
It is entirely your decision...
