Catholic Trainrec: the Faith Derailed

<<Steady Cam >> Dispatch from the Front Lines!: Catholic TrainREC: The Faith Derailed << Steady Cam >> Thank you for joining us for this Dispatch; I am your host Michael Voris. In scripture, Our Lord admonishes some of His listeners for not being able to read the signs of the times. Sadly, many in the Church today cannot, or will not; they refuse to, read the handwriting on the wall. This has greatly contributed to the faith being derailed. This derailing of the faith, beginning with Martin Luther’s revolution and culminating in the implementation of misrepresentations of the Vatican II have brought us to this, a train wreck of global proportions. Lending to the disaster in America, is the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress held at the Anaheim convention center in California every year. << Cam 2 >> The reason this event in particular is so dangerous is that, unlike the two organizations we will be covering later in this Dispatch, Call to Ac- tion and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, who do noth- ing to hide their hatred of the Church and its teachings, the REC pro- motes soft peddled Catholicism and mixes it in with outright heresy. The REC often employs token speakers at its events to give the appear- ance of, at the very least, balance. As window dressing, REC organizers often invite one or two solidly acceptable speakers each year: Father Benedict Groeschel, founder of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal; philosopher Janet Smith, defend- er of Humanae Vitae; author Peter Kreeft of Boston College; and Jesuit Father Robert Spitzer, the president of Gonzaga University, have all ad- dressed congress audiences. In 2006, both Father Spitzer and chastity speaker Pam Stenzel spoke. But these are the exceptions, major speakers are consistently drawn from the pool where Call to Action finds its headliners. << Cam 1 >> Speakers such as, Sister Fran Ferder and Father Timothy Radcliffe. Sr. Fran Ferder teaches that the homosexual lifestyle is not a deviance, but a healthy alternative lifestyle. Sr, Ferder regularly presents at the REC. Sister Ferder is co-director of TARA: Therapy and Renewal Associates and co-author of the book "Tender Fires: The Spiritual Promise of Sex- uality" in which she says things such as, quote "Whether we are married or single, young or old, divorced or remar- ried, male or female, gay or straight, celibate by choice or by circum- stance, each of us is called to make the long and arduous journey of claiming our sexuality with reverence and integrating it with responsi- bility" And, quote, "Spirituality without sexuality is a phantom." One of the workshops Sister Ferder has run at the REC is titled, “How Can We Become Sexually Liberated? Reclaiming the Bond Between Christian Love and Justice.” There has never been a break in the bond between true Christian Love and Justice. These types of phrases are code words for promotion of the homosexual lifestyle. The other speaker we have mentioned, Father Timothy Radcliffe, has some very concerning beliefs and has made several statements that raise massive red flags. At the REC in 2006, Father Radcliffe, urged the audience to "let our imaginations be stretched" by watching Brokeback Mountain. Brokeback Mountain is a movie about two men who engage in sodomy during their time together herding sheep on a mountain. The movie focuses on this event and the subsequent fallout. Fr. Radcliffe was the Master of the order of Preachers, the Dominicans, from 1992 to 2001 Here is the full quote: “We begin by standing beside gay people.... And this means letting our imaginations be stretched open to watching Brokeback Mountain, reading gay novels, having gay friends...and listening with them as they listen to the Lord." Randy Engel reports in her book The Rite of Sodomy -- a must read -- that Radcliffe issued a letter on February 25, 1998, to his Dominican brothers worldwide on the subject of "gay" religious. Radcliffe said on the acceptance of homosexual candidates to the Order that, quote, "Our communities must be places in which there is no accusation...." Engel interprets this to mean: "a warning against in-house whistleblowers who reveal clerical sexual misconduct and criminal acts by their fellow Dominicans to superiors or public authorities and law enforcement officers." << Steady Cam >> In England, Radcliffe has celebrated Mass on more than one occasion for the openly dissenting homosexual group "Roman Catholic Caucus of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement”, now operating under the name "Soho Masses Pastoral Council", who hold Masses in the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in Mayfair, London. In the past, Radcliffe has been lauded and feted by English bishops despite complaints from Catholics concerned about his defense of practicing homosexuals. << Cam 1 >> Another Speaker, Father Richard Sparks, said in one of his addresses, "If you can't fantasize Mary and Joseph having sex - even if you wanted to say - okay, the Church says, 'ever-virgin' - okay, I leave that in place. I'm not out to change that. Church says, obviously for Jesus, Mary was still a virgin - because it's like a miraculous conception - okay, where did all those brothers and sisters come from? They're cousins? Where did all those brothers and sisters come from? Joseph had children from a previous marriage? Okaaaay. But if somebody says, 'Do you think Joseph ever wanted to jump her bones? Do you think Joseph ever thought, 'God, why can't we consummate this thing?' Now, all I'm saying is - even if they didn't have sex, did they ever neck? or did they maybe cuddle and snuggle? Did he ever sorta fondle his wife? Did she ever kinda fondle him?" Talk about EVIL! While we are sure there are some speakers at the REC that are in full accordance with Church teachings, if you do not have extensive knowledge of apologetics and the true Catholic faith, going to the Congress is a very bad idea. If you know that even ONE speaker will be presenting on ideas contrary to Church teaching, for instance, the practice of liturgical dancing, which is not the norm in the West and its liturgy, you need to analyze EVERY SINGLE THING anyone presenting at the Congress is saying. << Steady Cam >> Again, for the record, liturgical dancing is not allowed in the U.S. and this year, 2014, will see three speakers teaching on this subject, therefore, you have a minimum of three bad sessions IF you decide to go, take notes, and when you get home, look up everything to be sure that you were told the truth before you believe anything anyone said. Both Sr. Ferder and Father Radcliffe will be speaking at the 2014 REC held in March. Masses at the REC are notorious for their “innovation” and modernist bent. Face it, when you need an electric bass and dancing cheerleaders to keep your audience from fidgeting or drifting away, you're admitting the Main Act is a flop from the get-go. Any cursory search on youtube will reveal what we are talking about. REC isn’t alone amidst the rubble of the Church. Let’s look into the Call to Action organization. << Cam 1 >> Call to Action, from which many REC speakers are drawn, is the chief umbrella organization for Catholic dissenters in the US and, according to their own claims, has some 20,000 members. Most of them well into senior citizenship. Many of the Religious Orders that frequent CtA events , who were part of the radical modernization push in the Church back in the 60’s, have withered up and are close to death. The Call to Action organization is so heretical you hardlyknow where to begin, and around the CtA movement has grown up a legion of supportive organizations, each with inter-related ambitions. This creates tremendous confusion and has, in the past, generally protected the parent movement against serious crackdown. << Cam 2 >> Here are just some of the errors and heresies promulgated by Call to Action, repudiating the Catholic Church: 1. Christ has not protected The Church from error throughout the centuries, therefore, it has been wrong for centuries on a whole host of doctrinal and moral teachings. 2. The Holy Scriptures are full of serious moral and theological distortions and errors. 3. The human conscience is a higher authority than the official position of the Church on doctrine and moral teaching. 4. At Mass, there is no miraculous transubstantiation at the consecration thus one does not need Holy Orders to consecrate the bread and wine. "Real Presence" is only in a spiritual sense as protestants hold. 5. Women, and indeed any baptized member of the Church, should be able to preside over the Mass. 6. Those who speak for Call to Action make up the authentic Magisterium of the Church. 8. The Church should approve and bless homosexual or lesbian couples 9. The crucifix and the male image of Jesus as Messiah/Redeemer represents a perversion of the truth. 10. There is no Holy Trinity, no triune God. Instead we have the goddess Sophia to worship which the Judeo-Christian religious traditions have suppressed. 11. There is no clear distinction between God, nature and humanity. Worship of self is the final object of this Frankenstein Christian/New Age religion now filtering into our parishes. Call to Action is dangerous and thankfully, in pockets here and there, this has been fully acknowledged. << Cam 1 >> In the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, for instance, Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz warned Catholics that membership in the organization Call to Action would result in excommunication saying in a statement issued in May of 1996, quote, "All Catholics in and of the Diocese of Lincoln, are forbidden to be members of the organizations and groups listed below.
