Is Catholicism A Cult?: Revealed - The True nature of Roman Catholicism

Product Information

in its devotion to Christ's mother, the Virgin Mary, who Catholics believe gave birth to Jesus without having sex first and who was raised body and soul into heaven where she occupies a special place interceding between God and His people This severely twisted cult, founded by David Berg and also known as Family International, is devoted to pedophilia and sex, to put it bluntly. The followers of this cult believed that sex with children was natural and right. Based on the belief that apocalypse is coming (doomsday cult), this cult uses “flirty fishing”(use of sex) to get new members for it. The children who were born as a result of flirty fishing were referred to as “Jesus Babies”. Rose McGowan, the American actor escaped from this cult and revealed some of its brutality later. It is rumoured that the female members of this cult are also forced to go into prostitution and sex slavery! Well, I don’t agree. I’m going to put my faith in my fellow female humans. In my life and line of work, I see at least 100 women a day. They are my family members, my co-workers, my friends, neighbors, and customers. They are a regular part of my life. I don’t talk to any fetuses, but I do talk to women all the time —and I will not betray their citizenship. Remember, their whole argument is essentially just “the ends justifies the means.” They are trying to say that the ends — protecting a brainless embryo and fetus that might, only might become a person — justifies forcing a woman to carry that fetus against her will. But if the pregnancy isn’t voluntary, then by definition it’s involuntary. And as the pregnant woman is laboring — to carry and develop a child which alters her physical body and causes her to risk death in childbirth — it absolutely is involuntary servitude forced by the state. The 13 th Amendment bans this —but the Pope doesn’t care. He and Republicans have decided that the religious slavery of women is justified to make sure children are born. In regards to the question “Are Catholics saved?”, this is a more difficult question to answer. It is impossible to give a universal statement on the salvation of all members of any denomination of Christianity. Not ALL Baptists are saved. Not ALL Presbyterians are saved. Not ALL Lutherans are saved. Salvation is determined by personal faith in Jesus alone for salvation, not by titles or denominational identification. Despite the unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, there are genuine believers who attend Roman Catholic churches. There are many Roman Catholics who have genuinely placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. However, these Catholic Christians are believers despite what the Catholic Church teaches, not because of what it teaches. To varying degrees, the Catholic Church teaches from the Bible and points people to Jesus Christ as the Savior. As a result, people are sometimes saved in Catholic churches. The Bible has an impact whenever it is proclaimed (Isaiah 55:11). Catholic Christians remain in the Catholic Church out of ignorance of what the Catholic Church truly stands for, out of family tradition and peer pressure, or out of a desire to reach other Catholics for Christ.

Catholics share with other Christians a belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ, the son of God made man who came to earth to redeem humanity's sins through His death and resurrection. They follow His teachings as set out in the New Testament and place their trust in God's promise of eternal life with Him. Catholicism, however, is distinct from other Christian churches in both its organisation and its teaching. Structure Before we can assess whether Catholicism fits the definition of a cult, we must first define exactly what a cult is. Although the term often has negative connotations, its true definition must be understood: typically speaking, cults refer to religious groups led by charismatic leaders who exert control over its members through secret meetings, often isolating themselves from outside world influence and espousing beliefs which go against mainstream doctrines.Is Catholicism a Cult Understanding Catholicism Cicero defined religio as cultus deorum, "the cultivation of the gods." [1] The "cultivation" necessary to maintain a specific deity was that god's cultus, "cult," and required "the knowledge of giving the gods their due" (scientia colendorum deorum). [2] The noun cultus originates from the past participle of the verb colo, colere, colui, cultus, "to tend, take care of, cultivate," originally meaning "to dwell in, inhabit" and thus "to tend, cultivate land (ager); to practice agriculture," an activity fundamental to Roman identity even when Rome as a political center had become fully urbanized.Geoff Dancy, a professor at Tulane University who has studied the phenomenon in the United States, said that many conspirators start with factual truths and real-life events. “But conspiratorialism is seeing conspiracies everywhere, even when it doesn’t necessarily make sense or it doesn’t bear out with evidence,” he said. In fact, early Christianity could be called a cult because Christian beliefs and practices – such as not sacrificing for the emperor – were considered strange and dangerous in ancient Rome.

This article discusses the original meaning of the word cult, not the term in the sociology of religion, new religious movements called cults, cults of personality, or popular cult followings.

But since then, the archbishop has embraced apocalyptic language, calling for “the children of light” to fight looming forces of darkness in the Vatican. Take these 12 religious cults for example. Their practice and belief are heavily contributing superstitious attitude of people, so much that it is actually proving to be dangerous for humanity. 1.

We moved food around the world to fight hunger. We made connections between countries to stop wars. We began to plan, calculate and better control our future. And as time went on, we realized that we were overusing our limited resources —and overpopulating the planet. So humanity gradually changed its reproductive tendencies, and stopped having big families (for the most part in most developed countries). Sister Catherine died two years after my expulsion from the community. After her death, a number of children at the Center informed their parents of the secret, violent beatings they had received, leading to a mass exodus of families. In the early 1970s, Father Feeney became reconciled with the Catholic Church, though he never recanted his views on extra ecclesiam nulla salus. The community of men became a Benedictine Abbey, while the women came under the auspices of the Diocese of Worcester. While some members formed a new schismatic community in New Hampshire, the Still River community is in full communion with the Catholic Church. However, this “fire and brimstone” approach has been tempered by the Church. The phrase that I like is: “A lion in the pulpit and a lamb in the confessional.” There ought to be a strength to preaching the entire Gospel, but there should be overwhelming mercy in the pastoral care of souls.

For almost a thousand years, Catholicism and Christianity were as one. The break, or schism between the Church of Rome and other Christian faiths began with the split with Orthodox Christians in 1054 over questions of doctrine and the absolute authority and behaviour of the popes. For similar reasons in the sixteenth century, the Protestant churches also went their own way. At the same time, I developed a series of crushes on grown men within the community. We were not taught biology, much less sex education, and I did not know what these feelings meant or what to do about them. My mother, on the other hand, was completely supportive. She and my father left the community with two of my siblings in 1969, three years after I was expelled, and my other two sisters left in 1971. She was in her 80s and read every chapter as I was writing it. She encouraged me to keep on going. As I neared the end, she said, “Parts of it make me sad, but it’s all true, and you need to publish it.” Her words have remained with me and bolstered me when the burden of sharing my story seemed at times daunting. She died six months before the official launch date. Lights and Shadows Great emphasis is placed on the ascetic tradition of religious life as either separation from worldly concerns or, in the words of Pope John Paul II (1978 - 2005) as 'a sign of contradiction' in contemporary culture. Catholicism retains from earliest times a strong sense of sin and correspondingly of God's redeeming love.Those that love their own souls need to turn from the Roman Catholic fables and start listening to the word of God.
