Regarding the veracity of Benedict XVI's approved life story, I want to
take just one key aspect of it, his alleged baptism, and see how the
story holds up when the facts are checked.
The 'official story'
(1)
(2) is that Josef Alois Ratzinger was '
Baptized on the
day of his birth (April 16, 1927) in the parish church at the Easter
Vigil'. Some Catholic blog sources infer that his mother and
family took him to
the service. At least one actually names the priest who
allegedly Baptized him. Another version claims he was Baptized at 8:30
AM
Problems with such allegation:
a.
He was born at 8:30 AM......
b. There was no such thing as
the "Easter Vigil" in 1927, as we know it today until the Liturgical Reforms
mandated by Pope Pius XII in 1955
c. The formal reintroduction of
'the ancient rite of Baptism of Catechumens, which had long
fallen into disuse",
desired by Pius XII in 1955, was not universally & officially
restored until 1969-70 with the mandated 'restored rite of Holy Week; -
as a result of Vatican II. (3)
(5)
d. In 1927, the Holy Saturday
service would take place in the AM.
Pius' reforms of 1955 (4):
a.
Began the restoration of the ancient Easter Vigil
b. Moved the time
of day in which the Easter Vigil and Mass of the Lord' Supper (Holy
Thursday) BACK more then 12 hours!!!
Yet not all of Pius' changes were immediately (or gladly)
implemented. In some places in the US even in the mid-60's the Holy
Saturday service
was still in the AM. Until c.1970, when what we now know as the 'Easter
Vigil" was introduced - and held in the evening. As a result of the
Liturgical changes via Vatican II. Even after 1970,
Baptisms at the Easter Vigil were rare until the mid/late 80s, with the
introduction of RCIA programs. It should be noted that the intent of
formal reintroduction of Baptism
into the Easter Vigil
was primarily for adult catechumens, not
infants.
a.
Prior to 1955, NO mass could lawfully begin after Noon. A Sunday High
Mass would start no later then 11 AM in an urban area.
b. In rural areas it was
(and is) very common for services to be very
early in the AM - so that people can get their farm work done in the
remaining daylight. Markt Am Inn was a tiny rural village.
Legalisms aside, even IF the service was in the evening, for a
woman who had given birth that day to go and sit through a 3 hour
service - she would be Wonder Woman! Both mother and child need to
rest and recover from the strain of birth.
There
is no logical need to immediately Baptize a newborn - unless
it is in danger of death (which was NOT the case; he was healthy). In
such case, anyone could perform it. The claim is made that is was
'common to Baptize on the very day of birth'. This is unsubstantiated.
Also, as clergy would be very busy with preparations for the next day
(Easter Sunday), a private Baptism on Holy Saturday would be highly
unlikely.
Finally, there seems one overriding concern which is behind all of
this:
In order for him to be
Ordained, he would have to have 'proof' of Baptism & Confirmation. Why
the discrepancies then?
As
a youngster I worked in several parish rectories, where I produced
copies of Baptismal records. The books were often altered. Items were
crossed out, written over, obviously added later (ball point pen Vs.
fountain pen), different handwriting, labels pasted over an
entry, and
the copious use of 'White-Out'. Anytime we have handwritten record
entries (without any counter-signing or other reasonable security), the
possibility of altering or forging records is very real.

Dear Miguel:
In your Private Forum of July 5th, 2008 (1),
you wrote:
"We want to take this opportunity to encourage the faithful not to
read "new and improved" accounts about the period that the New
Testament covers in order to avoid further confusions. Even if
the stories come through "Church approved" mystics or contained in new
found scrolls; and certainly not from New Age like sources."
I am most grateful for that advice. It confirmed the
intuition (2)
that I have had so far. I have been aware of the alternative
"histories" of Mary and Christ (Agreda, Emmerich, Valtorta, etc.) -
massive tomes of new "information" about Christ and His times. I never
read any of this material, for these reasons:
1. Uncertainty of the truth of the "new" material
2. Lack of time
3. Certainty that, whatever the value of this apparitional
information, that I would use my time better by reading and
understanding the New Testament itself, rather that these
ancillary/competing works.
Instead of reading the channeled books, I am getting much from
reading the daily Scripture readings assigned by the Orthodox Church
(and also used by Eastern Catholics.) This slow but sure method
of study and meditation has helped me a lot. I am sure that the
same process, using the Roman Catholic readings, would greatly benefit
any Roman Catholic visitor to your site.
Your statement against Urantia and similar New Age (3) books is clear and
charitable.

As part of the worldwide information and disinformation campaign
ochestrated, much is being
written and said about the Swine Flu, the real purpose for the
vaccination, etc., etc.
These days, the unstoppable river of on-line publishing is such that it
indeed fulfills the Biblical prophecy:
And
the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a
river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river. [Apocalypse 12:15]
What to do? The only solution is to rely on the Holy Spirit of God to
help sort out the wheat (the
truth) from the chaff (the planted lies).
Following is what He has
confirmed for us...
1. O July 2nd we issued a document tentatively
linking the Mark of the Beast with the vaccination; (1)
2. In said document we reported about an individual who had invented
the killer implanted chip (2) to
such a level of development that he was seeking patent protection for
his invention;
3. On September 18th we reported that by November 2008 a test was
underway in
Boston to set up a vaccination registry system associated with a bar
coded bracelet; (3) but
then we found out that there already is in existence ...
4. An Implantable Radiofrequency Transponder System for Patient
Identification and Health Information available since 2004; (4) a capability which was
confirmed when we read about....
5. The breakthrough by Hitachi on September 2003 - Hitachi Develops a
New RFID with Embedded Antenna µ-Chip (5)
...and that was six years ago!
At the exponential rate of technological advances we
are living through, we cannot even imagine how small and how "capable
of
everything" those micro-by-now-nano chips can be.
When all of the above is viewed on the backdrop of the concerted effort
of unleashing a health panic upon humanity -
a panic which would pave the way to forced vaccination (read:
forced tagging) - what other conclusion can anyone reach with those
confirmed facts?
Let us face it - the selling of Tamiflu will line the pockets of many
former government officials, but that IS NOT enough to "grease the
palms"
of everyone - media included - on a worldwide scale; a media which
willingly
cooperates with the mass deceit. Most of the media talking heads may be
just that -
talking heads -
but we feel that if they can tie a tie or
apply lip gloss they have enough of an IQ to realize that the whole
scare is a scam-with-a-purpose.
Believe me - God knows well that I wish we could say: "
Take two
aspirins, have a good night's sleep and call me in the morning if the
discomfort persists." being confident that the symbolic
"discomfort"
will have gone away by morning. Unfortunately that will not be the case.
May the Holy Spirit of God continue to illuminate and assist you in
navigating through the End (thanks be to God!) of These Times

@ Vitamin D Council in the US - Published
on September 17th, 2009
Letter
No.1 and reponse
Dear Dr. Cannell:
Your recent newsletters
and video
about Swine flu (H1N1) prompted me to convey our recent experience with
an H1N1 outbreak at Central Wisconsin Center (CWC). Unfortunately, the
state epidemiologist was not interested in studying it further so I
pass it on to you since I think it is noteworthy.
CWC
is a long-term care facility for people with developmental
disabilities, home for approx. 275 people with approx. 800 staff. Serum
25-OHD has been monitored in virtually all residents for several years
and patients supplemented with vitamin D.
In
June, 2009, at the time of the well-publicized Wisconsin spike in H1N1
cases, two residents developed influenza-like illness (ILI) and had
positive tests for H1N1: one was a long-term resident; the other, a
child, was transferred to us with what was later proven to be H1N1.
On
the other hand, 60 staff members developed ILI or were documented to
have H1N1: of 17 tested for ILI, eight were positive. An additional 43
staff members called in sick with ILI. (Approx. 11-12 staff developed
ILI after working on the unit where the child was given care, several
of whom had positive H1N1 tests.)
So,
it is rather remarkable that only two residents of 275 developed ILI,
one of which did not develop it here, while 103 of 800 staff members
had ILI. It appears that the spread of H1N1 was not from
staff-to-resident but from resident-to-staff (most obvious in the
imported case) and between staff, implying that staff were susceptible
and our residents protected.
Sincerely,
Norris Glick, MD
Central Wisconsin Center
Madison, WI
Dear Dr. Glick:
This
is the first hard data that I am aware of concerning H1N1 and vitamin
D. It appears vitamin D is incredibly protective against H1N1. Dr.
Carlos Carmago at Mass General ran the numbers in an email to me. Even
if one excludes 43 staff members who called in sick with influenza,
0.73% of residents were affected, as compared to 7.5% of staff. This
10-fold difference was statistically
significant (P<0.001). That is,
the chance that this was a chance occurrence is one less than one in a
thousand.
Second, if you read my last newsletter,
you will see that children with neurological impairments, like the
patients at your hospital, have accounted for 2/3 of the childhood
deaths for H1N1 so far in the USA. That is, the CDC knows, because they
reported it, that patients with neurological impairments are more
likely to die from H1N1.
The
problem is that I cannot get anyone in authority at the CDC or the NIH
to listen. I need readers to email or call their senators and
congresspersons in Washington.
Ask
your senator or congressperson to contact the CDC and NIH to complain
about CDC and NIH inaction on Vitamin D and H1N1. Also, ask your
senators and representative to demand congressional hearings on Vitamin
D and H1N1, before it is too late. Here is the link below, just click
it and follow instructions to contact your own represenatives.

Dear Dr. Cannell:
Thanks
for your update about the hospital in Wisconsin. I have had similar
anecdotal evidence from my medical practice here in Georgia. We are one
of the 5 states with widespread H1N1 outbreaks.
I share an office with another
family physician. I aggressively measure and replete vitamin D. He does
not.
He is seeing one to 10 cases per
week of influenza-like illness.
In my practice-- I have had zero
cases. My patients are universally on 2000-5000 IU to
maintain serum levels 50-80 ng/ml.

Dear Dr. Campbell:
That’s good news. Now, if we just
had a way for the CDC and the NIH to pay attention.
Critics say we should not
recommend vitamin D to prevent influenza until it is proven to do so
(It has not been).
The critics
are thus saying, although they seem not to know it, you should be
vitamin D deficient this winter until science proves being vitamin D
sufficient is better than being Vitamin D deficient. Such advice is
clearly unethical and has never ever been the standard of care.
This is not rocket science. If I am wrong, and Vitamin D does
not prevent influenza, what is lost? A few dollars. If they are wrong, and it does
prevent influenza, what is lost? So far, the CDC says 41 kids are
dead from H1N1, and the flu season has not yet started.
Please contact your senators and
congresspersons. Ask them to have hearings on vitamin D and H1N1:

Lee contacted us as early as the second half of 2001, and since then
he has helped us considerably in the following areas. He:
(a)
Proofread critical documents to ensure that the concept or revelation
was expressed in a manner that would be comprehended by most;
(b)
Provided edited [with the key items highlighted] news reports and posts
which have saved us very much time;
(c)
Posed many questions during verbal and written communication which were
answered in the Public and Private Forums, helping thousands - since
the
answers to his questions were of universal interest;
(d) Prepared
documents (at our request and according to our specifications) to
publish in our Domains;
(e)
Provided candid and constructive criticism on how we could better get
our point across;
(f)
Provided an ongoing "bird's eye view" of most Christian movements and
scandals in the US - from extreme left to extreme right and all of
those in-between; and last, but not least.
(g)
Processed the few donations that have allowed us to continue to
function in this manner - Thanks be to God!
All of the above is not the reason why we have promoted,
published his own writings, and webmastered his own Domain
[leepenn.info]
. As you may
recall, our Lord Jesus Christ indicated that doing something for
someone
just because
that someone had done something for us is not the Christian way.
The reason we have done so is because Lee is an excellent factual
researcher and presenter of the data resulting from his literature
research as well as a top notch editor.
His documents, book and articles
do not add any conceptual
information to what miguel de Portugal knows through the Grace of God
and has been announcing for over eighteen years. However, they provide
the "black and white" proof that many in the world need.
For example, our documents on One World Religion
(2) and One Universal World
Order
(3) predate
our even knowing the existence of Lee Penn. However, Lee's
research, as published in his documents, book and articles,
provides the concrete proof - for those who need "black and white"
proof
- that what we have announced in the Name of God is developing and
continues to do so.
Another example - unrelated to Mr. Penn - about providing
"black and white" concrete proofs for those who need it....
Through the Grace of God, miguel de Portugal understood
that Opus Dei was evil before knowing any concrete details about them.
What we published in our
Opus Dei Index (4)
about their activities was done to illustrate what miguel knew by
other means, and had stated in the document describing their real
agenda (5).
CONCLUSION
We just wished to publicly acknowledge Lee Penn's
contribution to the publications through The M+G+R Foundation as well
as
explain the connection that exists between him and The M+G+R
Foundation. That is what we hope to have accomplished, while, at the
same time, once again recommend his writings. (6)
EPILOGUE
We are well pleased to also have been of service to Lee in
his work. We will let he speak for himself, as he suggested we do when
he proof read this document: (7)
A present-day Catholic mystic, who
calls himself “Miguel de Portugal,” sets forth this scenario in detail:
a global war, followed by the creation of a “progressive” New World
Order and an anti-Christian New Religion – and then, the rapid collapse
of this system due to Divine intervention. He expects that
immediately thereafter, there will be a time of massive conversions to
the Christian faith – but the re-emergent Church would be swiftly
captured by movements that pervert the Church into a totalitarian
theocracy. In the name of enforcing religious orthodoxy, there
would be a New Inquisition – and at the end, there would be a religious
deceiver, a False Christ, who would ensnare most of the world.
Soon after this, Jesus will return in power and glory to rescue his
people from this final tyranny.
The prophecies of “Miguel de
Portugal” do not have ecclesiastical approval, and it remains to be
seen whether future events will validate all his expectations.
Many who may read his web site could be put off by his style, if not by
his content.
Nevertheless,
“Miguel” has given me – and perhaps, many
others – an essential warning: as bad as a victory of leftist
globalism would be, it would not necessarily be the end of our
trials.
History could well continue, with a global reaction toward a
“Christianized” form of Fascism following the brief triumph of the
leftist variant of the New World Order.
Thank you, Lee.

The time
has come that we speak, in an open forum, about the September 11 attack on the Pentagon.
As we have many times stated - I am only a "gofer" for God and it is up
to Him to provide the means to fulfill the function for which He
created and empowered me. As lowly, by world standards, as a "gofer" is
- it is non-transferable thus I beg those whom we try to assist and
guide to bear with my many imperfections and shortcomings.
We know, and have stated in the past, that the September 11 events just
"didn't happen" but were allowed to happen by those who intend to
"shove down the throats of humanity" the New International Order (1). Of course, the 9-11
Conspiracy Theories logically are a "dime a dozen". Some are very good
and are
close to the truth, but all they can show is circumstantial
evidence. Needless to say - a world population which shares the
"Denial DNA" - refuse to even consider the most compelling
circumstantial evidence - why, they actually believe that the Swine Flu
happened naturally and is a real threat.
But I digress....
One good day, several years ago, I spotted in Spain a package of
National Geographic video programs at a very low price (if it is not
sex or sports they almost have to give away any videos nowadays). The
Package had several 90+ minute programs - Inside the Vatican, Inside
the Mecca, Inside the Pentagon, etc. Frankly the least interesting to
me was Inside the Pentagon but the price was worth it for the other
"Inside Views".
[I fell in the "trap" set by God... He knew well and good that I would
not purchase the Inside the Pentagon
video by itself.]
What was my surprise (although I shouldn't have been) when I viewed Inside the Pentagon. That
video
should have never been released. If terrorists needed detailed views -
from all angles plus aerial - of the Pentagon as well as schedules,
routines, etc. they could not have found a better source. But I digress
again....
A year or three ago, after a lengthy legal battle, a citizen's rights
group (cannot remember the organization's name) forced the Pentagon to
release a very brief video clip from a security camera that caught the
alleged airplane hitting the Pentagon. I recall viewing it in the news
- grainy - but discernible enough to start an argument but not to
enable reaching a concrete conclusion that what hit the Pentagon was
not an airplane.
Such a waste of legal battle fees..... all they needed was to buy the
video from National Geographic (1)
which was released in the year 2002! They could have seen the security
camera clip in "all its glory" and not grainy at all.... but that was
the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
The National Geographic program contained ample news video clips of
almost immediately after the impact with newscasters reporting from the
scene, ambulances scurrying around, fire trucks extinguishing the fire,
etc. Views from all angles. There were also news clips on the removing
the rubble to rebuild that area of the Pentagon, clips and more
clips.... all uncensored.... but the alleged airplane must have
vaporized upon impact. No wings nor wing damage to the building; no
engines, no tail, no fuselage, nothing! but a hole as you would expect
to see when a missile strikes a building - a missile with not too much
explosive power in it.... just enough for a good show.
That is, brethren, how God works... and He warned the world about it,
except few believe His Words:
For there is not any thing secret that
shall not be made manifest, nor hidden, that shall not be known and
come abroad. [Luke 8:17]
Now you know.... and can see
it for yourself unless "they" caught on and edited the video.... but
not
to worry..... it was released in Spain right away back in 2002 in its
original form with and without subtitles.
But what do I know....? I am just a "gofer"..... a "gofer" for God.

One of my primary sources for information about
vitamins and nutrition
is Earl Mindell's New and Revised Vitamin Bible
(1)
Mindell, a pharmacist by trade, has researched vitamins and nutrition
for over 40 years. His book, now in many subsequent editions and
reprints, is very well researched, including a bibliography of
conventional medical sources. And in its forward, cites the
collaboration of such scientific/medical professionals as Linus Pauling
(2). (along with
quite a few others).
Yet Earl Mindell
(3),
like Dr. Eisenstein, has been assailed by critics
as a 'pill pusher' - for suggesting that people control their diet and
metabolism via both food and nutritional supplements. Even if Mindell
is not perfect, one can see the hand of Big Pharma in this
(4).
In reference to Vitamin D3...... In the above referred to book by
Mindell, he confirms the beneficial and preventative effects of it, as
cited now by Eisenstein. Based upon professional opinions and medical
research sources going back to the 60s. This is also corroborated in a
few other vitamin/nutrition books by other authors, including one by
doctors from the UK.
The copy of Mindell's book which I hold in my hand is copyrighted in1985
It does not matter what is dredged up on Eisenstein (or Mindell.....)
as what they are citing is corroborated by many other legitimate and
conventional medical sources/studies, going back for decades!
God be with you.
