The Truth Prevails

The ownership of the RM seminary has been confirmed in today's Umatuna.  The certificate of title recorded at the Department of Land Management confirms that the RM seminary is under the Archdiocese of Agana even with the Declaration of Deed Restriction in place, just as the Archdiocese have been saying all along.  So, what does this mean?  It means that the Archbishop, Father Pius, Father Adrian, Jackie Terlaje and the Archdiocese have been telling the truth all along.  The fact that CCOG and the junglefolks NEVER believed them was never the problem of the Archbishop.  It was never the Archbishop's fault that CCOG chose to believe the fairytales in the jungle.  They wanted transparency.  They wanted some evidence that the RM seminary did in fact belong to the Archdiocese of Agana.  Tim Rohr even stated to prove him wrong.  Today, he has been proven wrong.  The truth prevails. The question now is.....who is man or woman enough to apologize to the Archbishop for calling him a liar and a thief?      

Apparently, Tim is upset and still calling the Archbishop a liar and thief despite the certificate of title in front of his nose.  As anyone can plainly see, it was the jungle that caused the division.  The Archbishop was telling the truth all along.  Now, the jungle is inventing fairytales about Land Management. So, who do you think you should believe......Tim Rohr or the Department of Land Management?  I doubt that the Archbishop would be signing any papers presented by CCOG. If CCOG persists in their blindness by bringing the matter to court, just remember that these are the documents that the Archbishop will be presenting:  
  1. Report from the Pacific American Title confirming that the lots on which the RM seminary sits identified the owner as the Archbishop of Agana.
  2. Report from the law firm of Lewis Roca Rothgerber LLP in Denver, Colorado showing that the Archbishop of Agana retains substantial authority over the RM seminary. 
  3. Document of the Pontifical Council for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts, which has the highest authority in the Catholic Church for interpreting the laws of the Church concluding that there was no alienation of the property. 
  4. Certificate of title from the Department of Land Management.
What documents will CCOG bring to the table showing that the RM seminary does not belong to the Archdiocese of Agana?  Do they have a certificate of title actually naming the Neocatechumenal Way as the legal owner? 

To CCOG, the Laity Forward Movement, and the junglefolks, if you want to cease the division and foster reconciliation and unity in the Church.....it now begins with you.  Why?  Because the truth has finally come out. You now know that the Department of Land Management names the Archbishop as the legal owner of the RM seminary.  In other words, the Archbishop never gave the property away.  He was telling you the truth all along.  So, what do you think you should do about it?   

RMS Priest Becomes Bishop

 
Pope Francis Appoints Toronto Priest as Bishop of Whitehorse
Friday, November 27, 2015
Pope Francis has appointed Father Hector Vila, currently Rector of Toronto’s Redemptoris Mater Missionary Seminary, as the new Bishop of Whitehorse. Bishop-designate Vila will become the sixth bishop of one of Canada’s largest geographical dioceses, succeeding Bishop Gary Gordon, who was appointed Bishop of Victoria, British Columbia, in 2014.
 
Bishop-designate Hector VilaBishop-designate Vila commented on his appointment: “I wish to express my gratitude to God and to His Holiness Pope Francis for the trust placed in me. Coming from the Diocesan Missionary Redemptoris Mater Seminary of Rome established by Saint John Paul II, I was humbled by this new call to serve God’s people in the Diocese of Whitehorse, in knowing that God has a plan and will guide me on his path. I look forward to this new mission and to meeting wonderful people, learning about their traditions, discovering the beauty of this region of our country and growing in faith together.”
 
Cardinal Thomas Collins responded to the appointment: “Bishop-designate Vila is a holy and faithful priest who will bring a love of his faith and the people he has served to the Diocese of Whitehorse. I invite all of the faithful, and especially the members of the Neocatechumenal Way, to join me in offering their prayers for Bishop-designate Vila. I am grateful for his leadership of the Redemptoris Mater Missionary Seminary since 1998. The priests formed under his spiritual care faithfully serve the Archdiocese of Toronto.”

Dehumanizing A Person

The following comment was published under the thread in my previous post: 

Um, "Diana" is a pseudonym, so there is no "human identity". It could be a he, a she, a group of people, or an artificial (un)intelligence.

Also, its pretty easy to know who wrote a comment if they have cookies enabled and they are using the same device to make the comment. You can identify them no matter where they are.
Those who have read the jungle should already know that Tim Rohr has dehumanized me by calling me "The Thing."  See the weblink here and here.  As a result, many of the junglefolks followed Rohr without thinking or even questioning him. 
According to Dictionary.com, "pseudonym" is defined as (the bold is mine): 
a fictitious name used by an author to conceal his or her identity; pen name
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defined the same word as (bold is mine): 
a name that someone (such as a writer) uses instead of his or her real name 
Both dictionaries indicate that a "pseudonym" is a PERSON.....a human person.  This only goes to show how delusional Tim Rohr is, thinking that the person writing the comments and entry posts behind the computer screen is not human.  To make matters worse, he has managed to brainwash his followers in doing the same thing.  Dehumanizing a person is done to make it easier for others to abuse, humiliate, persecute, and eventually even kill the person.  This was done with unborn babies and with African Americans.  It was done by all those who practiced slavery, mass murder, and genocide.  

The fact that Tim has reduced me to an object "The Thing" only goes to show that he is not dealing with reality.  What "sane" person does not know that objects are incapable of using pseudonyms.  Writers and authors are known to use pseudonyms, so what "sane" person actually think that writers and authors are NOT human?  Who says that a person has to reveal his/her name in order to be considered "human"?  This is the same mentality of those who kill the unborn child.  Those who support pro-choice dictate when human life begins.  In the same way, Tim Rohr has already dictated who is human and who is not simply by whether they use a pseudonym or their real name.       

The Pope's Answer: I Am A Sinner

After Pope Francis arrived in Washington DC, Christian Today news obtained information about the first Latin American Pope and even interviewed him.  They asked Pope Francis who he is, and he gave a very humble reply.  "I am a sinner," he said.  But the great news is despite that he is a sinner, God's love and mercy saved him.  This is the message that the Pope carries throughout the entire world.  This is the same message that the Neocatechumenal Way also carry with them throughout the world.  According to Christian Today:  
"On the night of my election, I had an experience of the closeness of God that gave me a great sense of interior freedom and peace, and that sense has never left me," he told his friend, who is a fellow Latin American bishop.
That same year, he was asked the same question many others asked after he became the Pope: "Who Is Jorge Mario Bergoglio?" And Pope Francis had the perfect reply: "I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner."
But the great news is that despite being a sinner, God's love and mercy saved Bergoglio, and this is the same news that he is trying to spread to people all over the world.

Christian Today

God loves us even when we were sinners.  As the Apostle Paul stated:  "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8).  The God we worship is a God who loves all sinners (murderers, thieves, cheaters, etc).  Christ ate and walked with sinners so they could be converted.  Out of love, He died for sinners so they could be redeemed. 

The Apostle Paul also gave his testimony of how he was a sinner:  

I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison, as the high priest and all the Council can themselves testify.  I even obtained letters from them to their associates in Damascus and went there to bring these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished (Acts 22:4-5).  I do not understand what I do.  For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate to do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.  For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.  For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing.  Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but is sin living in me that does it (Romans 7:15-20)

For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not without effect.  No, I worked harder than all of them - yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me (1 Corinthians 15:9-10).  Although I am less than the least of all the Lord's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8)

The Misconception Of Judases

 
 

In my last entry post, a couple of commenters either misunderstood Kiko or perhaps they want to justify their demonizing.  This is what Kiko Arguello said about "Judases", (the bold is mine): 
 
“Finally, there is a third circle, a third group of brothers and sisters, those who live a lie, who have always lied to themselves. They are those in whom Satan acts, enslaving them.  Not necessarily because they are wicked, or due to any fault of their own, but perhaps for some reason or other that we will not investigate. Maybe these are the richest people, humanly speaking, the most intellectually gifted. (Judas was perhaps the brightest of the apostles, which is why he kept the purse … )  These people cannot stand the community. This mission is very important because, without Judas, there is no Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ. If you are called to be Jesus Christ,you must have your Judas.  Each of you here will have your hour. Your life is in function of assuming an hour. Jesus Christ was waiting for his hour to arrive and one day he said: My hour has come (see Jn 12:23). I hope that one day all of you will be able to say the same: My hour has come, the hour to give testimony of Jesus, the hour to be raised up, the hour in which the Father will be glorified in you. All Christians are called by God to take on this hour.

When that day arrives, these people will have the mission of killing you, of destroying you. Fundamentally, they live dominated by the devil because they have never been loved. To be able to love himself and other people, a man needs to be loved. These people do not listen to your reasons; they do not recognize the Spirit.  They say it’s all too angelic and a form of alienation which provides you with an excuse never to have to lift a finger to do anything.  The only way for these brothers and sisters to be saved is for the Church to give her blood for them, the blood of Christians, which is the blood of Jesus Christ. They will kill you and you will give your blood for them, as St. Stephen gave his blood for those who stoned him. In that way, they can all be saved.”  Page 82, Day 4.

First of all, Kiko called "Judases" our "brothers and sisters" because they are either Catholics like us or non-Christians made in God's image like all humanity.  Kiko also recognized that the "Judases" are important for our salvation.  He said that if we are called to Christ, we must have our Judas. Many in the jungle, on the other hand, do not call us brothers and sisters.  In fact, they do not even recognize us as "Catholics". They label the NCW as "evil cult", "the devil", or just plain "evil."  While Kiko say that it is important to have the "Judases" and that we should have them in our midst, some junglefolks have expressed that they do not want the NCW in their midst and out of their church building. 

Second of all, Kiko never said that the "Judases" are evil or even the devil.  He stated:   "those in whom Satan acts, enslaving them.  Not necessarily because they are wicked, or due to any fault of their own,...."  Kiko recognized that Satan is the enemy who enslaves our brothers and sisters.  Kiko goes on to say that the Judases are NOT wicked, and he did not fault them for anything.  He recognized that their life is dominated by Satan because they have never been loved.  In the NCW, we are taught that the enemy is NOT the person who persecutes you.  The enemy is Satan, who can enslave us and convince us to do wrong things.  Satan is not human, and is the enemy of both God and man. 

Finally, Kiko stated that the "Judases" can be saved if we give our life up for them just as Christ gave up His life to redeem all mankind.  To the brothers walking in the Way....this means that we should live our life the way Christ did.  Christ loved all sinners that He gave His life so that sinners can be saved. We should follow in His footsteps.  We should also love the "Judases" and give our life for them so that they can also be saved.  We follow the way of the cross. 

1 John 3:16   This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

Demonizing A Group Of People

When one group objectifies or demonizes another group of people, it becomes easier to abuse and persecute them.  In fact, it even allows others to kill them. 

Take for instance, the unborn child.  Some called the unborn child a "mass of cells", which makes it easier for abortion to take place.  The unborn child is viewed as an object (a mass of cells or a fetus).  Their identity as a human being was eliminated, and they were treated as an object that can be disposed.   In the same way, African Americans were seen as property before and during the Civil War, which made it easier for some people to enslave them. They were not viewed as human beings, but as property that can be disposed.

During World War II, the Jewish people were demonized as "subhuman" or an "alien race" who caused all of Germany's problems. The consequence was the Holocaust.  By demonizing them and making them less than human through Nazi propaganda, it made it easier for many German Nazis to carry out genocide.   

Members of the NCW on Guam are now being demonized as "evil incarnate" and the "devil" who are causing the destruction of the Catholic Church.  Propaganda is now being leveled against the NCW as "murderers." These comments came from the jungle (the bold is mine):

Failure to publish the Decree is indeed strong circumstantial evidence of the Archbishop's deceptive intentions, though he may seek to blame that on the chancery, as usual.

The NCW Cult clearly promotes and enables an environment of wholesale corruption, greed, theft, and blackmail.

N.B. Instead of merely referring to the Neocatechumenal Way (NCW), we should use "NCW Cult". Instead of New Eucharistic Order (NEO) adherents being referred to as NEOs, a more accurate descriptor would be "NEO Cultists".

The NCW Cult and NEO Cultists are the "soil" in which the ongoing evil lives, thrives, and has its being.

Decades will come and go; unfortunately this terrible photo of the devil in Shepard clothing will remain in the bookshelves of our parishes. The photo is published in the jubilee book of the Agana Cathedral Basilica. It irks all of us knowing that the Popes special home (Basilica) is now the grand meeting place of an evil cult (NCW/NEO) that has infested our island of paradise.
Comment Taken From Jungle

Fr. Matthew Blockley.November 23, 2015 at 10:05 AM

Agnes. I also believe NCW will go to extreme measures to remove individuals who are possible threats to their cult. They do this by bullying, accidents, threats to life and Death. If I was Archbishop I would certainly have one trusted helper prepare meals or do it myself. I would be wondering if my meals had substance added to harm me.

The NCW consist of over 1 million people.  CNMI Lawyer, Eileen, Father Blockley, Frenchie, and others (some who are anonymous) have said that the NCW is "evil", "evil incarnate", and the "devil'. This goes beyond "name calling" for the devil is NOT human.  And when one labels a group of people (in this case over 1 million people) either as the "devil" or "evil", they dehumanize the group of people so it makes it easier for others to abuse, persecute, and eventually even kill them.  Already Frenchie is claiming that the NCW leadership are murderers. 

Did you know that the Early Christians were also accused of murder and cannibalism???  According to the weblink below (the bold is mine): 
The circumstances surrounding the first persecution – Nero’s – had enormous effects, despite the fact that this persecution does not seem to have extended further than the city of Rome. The Christians were officially accused of a heinous crime – the burning of the city – and this created a widespread public opinion hostile to the new religion.

The historian Tacitus regarded Christianity as ‘a pernicious superstition’; Suetonius described it as ‘novel and mischievous’; Pliny the Younger as ‘depraved and extravagant.’Tacitus went as far as calling the Christians enemies of mankind. Therefore it is not surprising that ordinary people attributed to Christians all sorts of monstrosities such as infanticide and cannibalism, etc. According to Tertullian, ‘Christians to the lions’ became the obligatory catch-cry of every riot. 
http://www.earlychristians.org/index.php/expansion/item/302-the-pagan-empire-and-christianity-the-persecutions

Roman propaganda dehumanized the Early Christians by accusing them of false crimes such as mass murder, infanticide, and cannibalism.  It became easy for many Romans to view the Early Christians as "monsters" due to these kinds of monstrous accusations that was leveled against them.  And as it turned out, the ones who made those false accusations were the ones who persecuted and killed them.  In the same way, Nazi propaganda dehumanized the Jewish people as "subhuman" creatures infiltrating the Aryan race thereby making it easy for many to persecute and kill them (See weblink here.

This is the FIRST I have heard Frenchie accuse the NCW leaders of being murderers.  Eileen and an anonymous commenter in the jungle has demonized the Archbishop as the "devil".  CNMI Lawyer has also demonized more than 1 million people walking in the Way as an "evil cult".  This goes beyond "name calling" because the NCW is being accused of a monstrous crime as murder and is being dehumanized as the devil and an evil cult.  And this propaganda against the NCW is not coming from the NCW.

NCW Youth in WYD

Every year since I have joined the Way, the youths in the NCW have participated in the World Youth Day.  This experience always leaves our youth with many positive inspirations.  The next World Youth Day will be in Poland, and the Neocatechumenal Way youths on Guam have been currently fundraising for the trip.  Get ready for Poland!!!  :-)

Protecting An Asset?

An anonymous commenter made the following remark of which I will respond in this entry post:  


The CCOG wants to return control of the RMS to the archbishop. Please be fair and not spread falsehoods that they are attempting to enrich themselves personally. The same goes for Tim Rhor. They are protecting an asset of the archdiocese. Who can fault that?
This is my response:  
Anyone who read the jungle knows that Tim Rohr and CCOG are not interested in protecting the RM seminary.  They spoke about closing the RM seminary down and selling it.  According to Tim Rohr: 
Of course none of these idiots have actually spoken with any of the terminated members of the AFC to ask if they had ever suggested that the property be sold. However, I have. I spoke with Richard Untalan and he said that he indeed had suggested it and for good reason.............
But back to selling the property. Mr. Untalan proposed it as a way to create capital to pay down Apuron's debt (yes, Apuron's debt), and to fund a real seminary. The proposal was never about "selling the seminary", it was about selling the property and building and sustaining a seminary instead of trying to keep and maintain the hotel monstrosity. 
 http://www.junglewatch.info/2015/07/picking-on-second-thing.html#more

Their intention was expressed right there in the jungle blog, Anonymous.  Their intention is not to protect the asset.  Their intention was to shut down the RM seminary and sell the hotel property.  Right now, they think that this valuable asset is not under the Archdiocese of Agana when in fact it is.   

If this is God's providence that it will go to court, then let it be. Sometimes, one needs to learn the hard way.  When CCOG learns that they are wrong and that the property had always been under the Archdiocese of Agana, do you think that will solve the problem?  Nevertheless, God is the author of history. Something good will come out of this for the NCW, the Archbishop, and the Archdiocese of Agana.
