Within the Novus Ordo Vatican II sect, the stench of
CCRM can be perceived in NEARLY ALL their parishes! This false group provided
avenue for souls wishing to combine the spirit of Protestantism and that of
Novus Ordo religion. Increasingly, people believe that if you want be closer to
God, you need to join CCRM! That is a false view that has spread everywhere
such that instead of becoming Catholics, many Novus Ordo adherents become full-fledged
Protestants while wrongly suggesting that there is no Holy Ghost in the
Catholic Church!
This is not only laughable, it is a great danger to
souls who are already wounded by the evils of Novus ordo/Vatican II sect.
The blogger, Intoibo has shown how evil ‘C*atholic’ Charismatic
Renewal is and how those wishing to be saved cannot join it rather they should
become really Catholics abandoning all the false ideas in Novus Ordo. This is
presented here with revisions.
"Have you been baptized in the Holy
Spirit?" This is no longer a question asked only by Protestant Pentecostal
ministers.
You will hear it spoken by members of the Novus
Ordo/Vatican II sect involved in the 'C*atholic' Charismatic Renewal Movement
(hereinafter CCM). When Vatican II's "new springtime" of
apostasy came in with Vatican II from 1962-1965, so did every form of moral and
doctrinal aberration.
This CCM is found in nearly every diocese of the
Vatican II sect. According to "Fr" Harold Cohen, SJ of the Archdiocese
of New York ‘C*atholic’ Charismatic Renewal, speaking about the error called ‘Baptism
of the Holy Spirit’:
" What can we expect when we are
'baptized with the Holy Spirit'? We can expect an immediate or gradual
experience of deeper union with God, our loving Father and with Jesus, our Lord
and Friend; a fresh appreciation of Scripture; a greater love for others and a
desire for Christian fellowship; the fuller presence in our lives of the fruit
of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience and more (see Galatians 5:22-23); the
receptions of one or more of the Charismatic gifts of the Spirit such as
discernment, service, prophecy, praying in tongues, healing (see 1 Corinthians
12-14). This gift of a new fullness of the Holy Spirit is, I believe, the grace
of our age. "Ask and it will be given to you!"
This they call ‘eight sacraments’!
(See http://www.catholiccharismaticny.org/baptism-in-holy-spirit).
What is this "eighth sacrament"
being peddled by the CCM? Can the people who receive it pray in tongues, heal
themselves and others; even become prophets? The origins and evils of the CCM
will be exposed in this post.
Heretical
Origins of CCRM
The CCM can trace its origin to the Pentecostal sect
of the 19th century. According to William Whalen's book, Minority
Religions in America:
"The
reappearance of glossolaly (speaking in tongues) was reported in
1901. Charles F. Parham, a Holiness preacher, was dismayed by the aridity of
his own spiritual life. He rented a white elephant mansion in Topeka, Kansas,
and started a Bible school with about 40 students. Together they set out on an
intensive study of scriptures and came to the conclusion that speaking in
tongues was the one sign that a Christian had received the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. At 7 p.m., on New Year’s Eve in 1900, one of the students, Miss Agnes
N. Ozmen, startled the assembled group when she began to pray in tongues.
Within a few days, many more followed suit. Parham spent the next five years as
an itinerant preacher before opening another Bible school, this time in
Houston. One of his students, a negro minister named W.J. Seymore, carried the
'full-gospel' message to Los Angeles. A three-year-long revival in that
California city attracted people from all over the country, and these people
planted Pentecostalism in most of the major cities in the US, as well as in
many European nations. The old Holiness churches refused to give emphasis to
tongue-speaking, but dozens of independent Pentecostal Churches were soon
organized."
(Staten Island: Alba House, 1971, pg. 179).
In 1967, during the nascent Vatican II sect turmoil
of ecumenical frenzy and near universal apostasy, students at Pittsburgh’s
Duquesne University began exposing themselves to Pentecostal influences because
of "spiritual aridity." They were envious of the "changed
lives" among many Protestant friends and decided to pray for similar
"graces." A weekend "retreat" gave them what they wanted.
Various people approached Protestant ministers, laity, and prayer groups. All
received "Baptism in the Spirit" after having heretical hands laid on
them in prayer, that is they allowed heretics who have no ministry to lay hands
on them!
The importance of this action cannot be overestimated. These former Catholics of the new Vatican II sect submitted themselves to a non-Catholic pseudo-sacramental rite (a mockery of Confirmation) and the emotional thrill brought about by this sin convinced them of the holiness of the entire experience. They came away as "Catholic" Charismatics, and their influence spread quickly throughout the Vatican II sect. The CCM fits in perfectly with the ecumenism of Vatican II. If these "gifts" of the Holy Ghost (allegedly speaking in tongues, "healings," etc.) are true in the "Catholic" Church and they also happen in various Protestant denominations, then it stands to reason that there are "elements of truth and sanctification" outside the True Church by which people can achieve holiness and salvation. (Sound familiar?).
Do
Supernatural Gifts Still Happen Today?
The CCM denigrates the sacramental system of the
Church. A sacrament is a
"visible
sign of an invisible grace instituted by the historical Person of Our Lord
Jesus Christ for the salvation of the human race, although every sacrament is
not necessary for each member of the Church."
They would have these sacramental gifts replaced by
speaking in tongues, prophesy, and other such visible manifestations. Some,
imitating certain Protestant sects, roll around on the floor and then handle
poisonous snakes to show "God's protection." It is a fact, recorded
in the Bible, that the Apostles and some early Christians did indeed speak in
tongues and heal people. So why did it stop?
The charismata or "special
gifts" of the Holy Ghost such as prophecies, healings, miracles, etc.,
were given to prove the claims of the Church and to foster conversions. With
the achievement of the Church’s moral universality, the need for such phenomena
ceased because of the presence in the Church of people of every nationality and
because of the Church’s proven record as the One True Religion. Likewise,
speaking in tongues was given so that all could hear and understand the preaching
of the Gospel. None of these gifts were given for the personal sanctification
of the individuals who received them.
St. Augustine, Tract. xxxii, states,
"Whereas even now the Holy Ghost is received,
yet no one speaks in the tongues of all nations, because the Church herself
already speaks in the languages of all nations: since whoever is not in the
Church, receives not the Holy Ghost."
Some saints were given miraculous gifts, but the CCM
would have the extraordinary become the norm. Likewise,
these alleged gifts are now offered as "proof" of being in God's
favor and so the people fake it and/or learn how to ‘blab in tongues’, yet the
Council of Trent infallibly declared:
"For
even as no pious person ought to doubt of the mercy of God, of the merit of
Christ, and of the virtue and efficacy of the sacraments, even so each one,
when he regards himself, and his own weakness and indisposition, may have fear
and apprehension touching his own grace; seeing that no one can know with a
certainty of faith, which cannot be subject to error, that he has obtained the
grace of God."
(See Decree on Justification of Trent).
Errors
Abound in CCM and people ignore these errors
The CCM promotes false teachings not only on grace
and the continued necessity of charismata, but they foster other serious errors
as well. Chief among them:
Anti-clericalism: The
role of the hierarchy is downplayed. They are seen as "one of the
guys." being able to roll on the ground "speaking in tongues" is
more important than the ability to offer the Most Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass.
Denial
of the necessity of the Magisterium: You will hear CCM
members say that "God has put it on my heart that I should..." Or,
"God told me..." If you have direct contact with God, why do we need
the Church and Her hierarchy as intermediaries between God and people? If the
Church teaches one thing, but God has supposedly told you something different,
guess which one will be obeyed.
De
Facto denial of the Church's Indefectibility: By wanting
to return to the ways of the early Church, CCM claims that an integral
part of the Church (charismata) was absent for centuries. This is
impossible if the Church is Indefectible. Remember the condemnation of Pope
Pius XII regarding those who wish to return to early Church practices, thereby
suggesting the Church was not led towards the Truth but away from it. "The
desire to restore everything indiscriminately to its ancient condition is
neither wise nor praiseworthy. It would be wrong, for example, to want the
altar restored to its ancient form of a table, to want black eliminated
from the liturgical colors, and pictures and statues excluded from our
churches; to require crucifixes that do not represent the bitter
sufferings of the divine Redeemer."
(See Encyclical Mediator Dei; Emphasis
mine).
Unholy
Gifts
Those who seek after such false gifts open
themselves up to dire consequences:
1. Risk
of Self-Deception: "And I greatly fear what is happening in these
times of ours: If any soul whatever after a bit of meditation has in its
recollection one of these locutions, it will immediately baptize all as coming
from God and with such a supposition say, 'God told me,' 'God answered me.'
Yet this is not so, but, as we pointed out, these persons themselves are
more often the origin of their locution." They fake it to appear
holy!
(See St. John of the Cross: The Ascent of Mount
Carmel. Book II Ch. 29)
2. Possession
by demons: "Through the desire of accepting them one opens the
door to the devil. The devil can then deceive one by other communications
expertly feigned and disguised as genuine. In the words of the Apostle,
he can transform himself into an 'angel of light' (II Cor. XI:14). (...)
Regardless of the cause of these apprehensions, it is always good for a
man to reject them with closed eyes. If he fails to do so, he will make
room for those having a diabolical origin and empower the devil to impose his
communications. Not only this, but the diabolical representations will
multiply while those from God will gradually cease, so that eventually all will
come from the devil and none at all from God. This has occurred with many
incautious and uninstructed people." (See St. John of the Cross: The
Ascent of Mount Carmel. Book II Ch. 11)
Becoming
More Bizarre
A new "charismata" known as
"Holy Laughter" is also present at many CCM meetings. The person
who is most responsible for this phenomenon is Rodney Howard-Browne, a South
African Protestant evangelist who was born in 1961. It has been picked up by
many in the movement. Rodney Howard-Browne reported: "One night I was
preaching on Hell, and laughter just hit the whole place. The more I told the
people what Hell was like, the more they laughed." "The Holy
Ghost...might have you do something that no one's ever done before, and he
might have you do something that's totally unique. But don't question, and
don't argue, and don't ask, and don't try to devise and to plan it out but just
follow the prompting of the leading of the Spirit of God and, oh, great and wonderful
things shall be done, for God will move in diverse ways and with diverse
anointing in these last days." Laughing about Hell? How does any of this
help anyone?
When they are "slain in the Spirit,"
phenomena reported with "Holy Laughter include: shaking, jerking,
loss of bodily strength, heavy breathing, eyes fluttering, lips trembling, oil
on the body, changes in skin color, weeping, laughing, appearing drunk,
staggering, dancing, falling, claiming visions, "hearing audibly into the
spirit realm", inspired utterances--i.e.so-called prophecy, speaking in
tongues, violent rolling, screaming, nausea as discernment of evil, smelling or
tasting good or evil presences, tingling, pain in body as discernment of
illness, feeling heavy weight or lightness, trances--altered physical state
while seeing and hearing into the "spiritual world," inability to
speak normally, removing some clothing, pawing people and roaring like a lion,
walking like a chicken, howling like a wolf, digging the ground with hoofs like
a bull while "prophesying," among others.
This totally insane behavior can only be the result
of (a) mental instability/mass hysteria, or (b) demonic influence. St. Thomas
Aquinas states that (1) prophesy can come from demons (they can guess at what
the future holds given their superior intellect and knowing those who will do
their work--they do not know the future as God does but can predict much with
an uncanny accuracy); (2) prophets of demons can (in that sense) foretell the
truth, and (3) the wicked can work wonders that appear to be miracles.
Conclusion
The CCM is totally heretical, and leads people to
Hell. Remember the sobering words of Our Lord, "For there shall arise
false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders,
insomuch as to deceive (if possible) the elect."(St. Matthew 24:24); and
again, "Not everyone that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of My Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in Thy
Name, and cast out devils in Thy Name, and done many miracles in Thy Name? And
then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work
iniquity." (St. Matthew 7:21-23). The people involved with the CCM will
soon learn (perhaps too late) that this is no laughing matter.
