Open
Letter to Pope John Paul II
On February 22, 1997
On the Feast of the Chair of St.
Peter, Apostle
On February
22, 1997, on the Feast of
the Chair of St. Peter, Apostle, miguel de Portugal issued the
following Open Letter to Pope John
Paul II, the Nominal Bishop of Rome and Successor of Peter -
with copies, via regular postal service, to an extensive list of
recipients (1). The letter was
published by The M+G+R
Foundation on September 2000.
Pax vobis, My Dear Brother in Christ!
Acknowledging our respective responsibilities before the Throne of God
and our abysmal limitations as fallen men, it is our desire to candidly
review with you, while sharing it with the world at large (1), this document which has
been prepared in the fraternal spirit Christ called us to live by.
If anyone is offended by the manner in which the message in here
delivered is worded, then, beforehand, and with the utmost humility,
miguel de Portugal extends his most sincere apologies for not having
been able to convey the message with sufficient charity.
BACKGROUND
The most notable representatives of the Roman Catholic Church
frequently make exhortations for World Peace and for an equitable
distribution of the material resources of the world among the children
of God, while chastising the world leaders for apparently endorsing
institutional Hedonism and the Culture of Death.
Both are admirable positions and are strongly endorsed by miguel de
Portugal.
This document, however, will address the State of the World in relation
to the Responsibility entrusted by God to the Roman Catholic Church.
INTRODUCTION
God sent His only Son to offer fallen mankind an opportunity for
redemption. According to the Gospels, His Son was received well (2) by the mighty pagan
Roman Empire, the outcast Samaritans, the hard core sinners and a very
small handful of religious men. However, He was not well received by
the Ruling Religious Hierarchy of the time (3) and they ultimately had
Him crucified.
Said Hierarchy (3)
claimed to represent God on Earth and to speak in His Name. They gave
that impression by the rigidity with which they appeared to adhere to
religious traditions and, thus, were recognized by the world as such.
SUMMARY
The world is told (4)
that Jesus Christ entrusted Peter, the other Apostles and their
successors with the responsibility to effectively sow the 'seed', the
Word of God, until the furthest confines of the Earth. The fulfillment
of this Heavenly Charge was to bring mankind to a higher degree of
spiritual health (5).
The role of the Roman Catholic Church Administration was then, as is
now, to administer, by word and example, the Heavenly Treasure: The supernatural Sacraments and the Divine
Word, delivered to us by God in the Person of Jesus Christ, as well as
the later enhancements, continually being delivered to us by God, in
the Person of the Holy Spirit (6).
If the plan of God was to be implemented, every new generation of
temporal rulers and subjects would be of better spiritual stock and
disposition in spite of their human frailties.
CONCLUSION
Acknowledging the atrocious sociopolitical condition of the world
today, we must ask: "What went wrong
with the implementation of the Divine Plan?"
* Is evil
stronger
than God?
* Are not the Sacraments dispensed through the Roman Catholic
Church
truly supernatural assistance for the journey through Time?
* Are we going to blame God for the tragedies unleashed upon 18th
Century
France, and later on the world, by the application of the thinking
generated during the French revolutionary period?
* Are we going
to
blame God for the misery that Friedrich Nietzsche unleashed upon
humanity?
* Are we going to blame God for the failure, at the universal
level, of
the labors and sacrifices of so many holy priests and religious men and
women who through centuries, and even today, tended the spiritual
fields of the world and shepherded their flocks in an exemplary manner
in spite of the impediments coming from a comfortably 'prudent'
Hierarchy?
* Are we going
to
blame God for the Holocaust of World War II?
* Are we going
to
blame God for the Holocaust- Part II in ex-Yugoslavia, Rwanda, etc.?
* Will the
weeds gain
over the wheat when the field is properly tended to?
* Will the
sheep be
lost if the shepherd is fulfilling his duty?
* Did Judas
Iscariot
have the ultimate responsibility for the Crucifixion of Our Lord?
* Were the
average
Israelite citizens of the time truly responsible for His Crucifixion?
Who would dare answer "Yes" to any of the above questions?
We cannot blame God nor ultimately blame past and present world leaders
for the Spiritual, Moral and Political conditions of the world today.
We must then ask: "Who has to accept the ultimate responsibility for
the inferno this world has been turned into?"
Those
who were charged to foster the bridging of Heaven and Earth. The
Temporal Leaders who have controlled the Roman Catholic Church.
The Roman Catholic Church was not the direct cause of the terrible
events enumerated above, however, its Temporal Leaders must have to
accept the ultimate responsibility and consequence for the violation of
the trust invested upon them by God.
In the absence of Divine Graces man responds in accordance to his
fallen nature. From that corrupt fountain head spring forth the
likes of Hitler, Nietzsche, Zhirinovski, and others to lead the
'out-of-Grace' multitudes into perdition.
Jesus Christ did not entrust nor exhort Caesar to transform the world.
He entrusted and exhorted the task to Peter, the other Apostles and
their successors.
He also clearly gave all of us a serious and multi faceted warning when
He said:
Woe
to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done
in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have long ago
have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. [Luke10:13-14]
MESSAGE
Until the time when the controlling leaders of the Roman Catholic
Church publicly acknowledge such responsibility, and manifest it in the
manner of a heartfelt and public act of contrition of a worldwide
scale, God Will not provide the necessary assistance to quickly remedy
the problems plaguing the world today. [The NOTE added at the end of the letter
addresses the partial fulfillment of this Heavenly demand.]
In the absence of such positive and sweeping action, the problems will
grow exponentially and the fate of the physical components, animate and
inanimate, of the Roman Catholic Church will be equivalent to that of
the Temple of Jerusalem and associated hierarchy during the First
Century A.D. and which was well illustrated by the Prophet Ezekiel (7).
EPILOGUE
Jonah (8) could
not escape the charge given to him by God. Neither could miguel de
Portugal even if he wanted to. He prays that you understand this and
the seriousness of the message in here conveyed.
Let us keep each other in mutual prayer seeking that the Mercy of God,
which we do not deserve but humbly accept, come to our rescue.
At Their service, thus at yours, I remain....

NOTE Added
on August 17, 2001 and Expanded on October 11, 2002
Blessedly, our beloved John Paul II, taking advantage of the events
associated with the Jubilee 2000, has, as requested, publicly sought
God's forgiveness for the many and grave transgressions of the Roman
Catholic Church Leadership throughout the centuries.
Unfortunately, a key transgression was left out from this Institutional Sacrament of Reconciliation:
Disobedience to the requests
from God through the Virgin Mary. Requests
made through the Apparitions of La Salette (b1)
and Fátima (b2)
as well as those
through Kibeho (b3)
and Akita (b4)
- just to mention a few.
This disobedience, justified (b5)
by many as Prudence and which
has already caused humanity over 150 million lives, was the greatest
sin of all: The refusal and rebuking of the last efforts from God,
through His Most Holy Mother, to assist us in averting the consequences
of all those transgressions of the past centuries.
Now, Christendom has been rocked by the scandal of the Canonization of
Josemaría Escrivá (b6)
- a man who, under the cover of piety, has perverted the Gospel to
justify serving Mammon (b7)
so long as is claimed that it is ultimately for the Glory of God; a
direct challenge to the words of Jesus Christ through St. Matthew
6:24-34
The price that the Controlling Members of the Church will have to pay
for all of this is staggering and its collection will not be delayed
much longer...
Yesterday, the Congress of the United States of America signed the
condemnation of the world by giving President Bush quasi unlimited war
powers. This action will directly lead to the First Step of the
Sequence of Events (b8)
which will plunge the world into darkness, a darkness which will
eventually be dissipated by the Glory of Second Coming of Jesus Christ (b9).
There is nothing else left to do but Pray (b10), and then, More Prayer
(b11).
May God Bless America! (b12)
