Thank you, Father Tom, Fr. Jeff, Fr. Mike, Fr. Patrick, Fr. Gus, Fr. Gofigan and Msgr. Benavente!
You took a righteous stand (a path less travelled today by a few in our Archdiocese), conforming to a high standard of Catholic ethics and morality which we look up to and expect from our Clergy.
You and our non-neo priests and pastors, who have been bullied into keeping silent and remaining silent under the guise of "obedience" -- a blind obedience disregarding our God-given human intellect and our God-given conscience for deciphering a right from wrong or a truth from a destructive deception -- you seven, can count on the full support and backing of the Faithful Catholics of this island! Along with our ardent prayers for you, we will include all our Clergy on Guam and for our beloved and authentic Holy Mother Church.
In the midst of our Catholic congregation's bafflement and disconcertment over our shepherd's participation in blatant public false accusations and untrue statements, and with his silence over the scandals that such actions and deceptions create, it's comforting to know that we still have clergy with unfaltering faith. Your actions not only reassures us, but also rekindles in us our hope and our faith in our Authentic Catholic Church on Guam, whose teachings conform to Jesus' Ways and Teachings.You took a righteous stand (a path less travelled today by a few in our Archdiocese), conforming to a high standard of Catholic ethics and morality which we look up to and expect from our Clergy.

Along with our ardent prayers for you, we will include all our Clergy on Guam and for our beloved and authentic Holy Mother Church.
We, the congregation, are the Church too; therefore, please know that we share your pains and wounds, and your anxieties and distress over what is happening to our beloved Catholic Church on our island.
TRUTH will prevail however, because we know that the Fullness of The Truth is found in no other Church or entity, but in the authenticity of our One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. No one, no entity -- not even the gates of hell -- can prevail nor destroy HIS Church.
We will always remain faithful to and always recognize and acknowledge the authority of The Magisterium; and forever, will we bend our knees, bow our heads at the Name of Jesus and acknowledge with equal reverence and posture, HIS Very Real Presence when we receive HIM in Holy Communion at The Holy Sacrifice of The Mass! ... we know that this is and has been your impetus and motivation behind your courage and actions. Again, thank you for taking the stance you took!
- Marilu D. MartinezAugust 21, 2014 at 4:44 AMThank you Tim. Your persistence and perseverence has paid off in exposing the deceptions, the lies, the destructive treatment of everyone perceived to be standing in the way of the ncw's take-over of our Catholic Church thru our parishes; and most especially in your exposing the irreverent treatment of the REAL PRESENCE of Our Lord and Our God by the neos' manner of distribution and reception of Holy Communion, in the sacrament of Holy Eucharist -- The Sum and Summit of authentic Catholicism; the core of what we believe, who we are and why we are Catholics!
Your efforts have also brought to the forefront not only the reality, but the highly disturbing facts and documentation about the extent and the depth of not only the reasons for this division in our Archdiocese -- which, without a doubt, is the arrival and existence of kiko's invention of the religion of ncw -- but more critically, the power and the hold the ncw hierarchy now has on our archdiocesan leaders (particularly over the Archbishop) and the ncw's vicious ambition to eventually and freely, acquire our Catholic Church's properties, as well!
Open your eyes and minds to these facts and realities and then act, fellow Faithful Catholics; otherwise, we will one morning, awaken to discover the demise of our authentic Catholic Faith and Church, as we know it!
Thank you Ms.Martinez for your inspirational post.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO MARILU BRAVO!!! God bless all the brave souls for standing up in defense of our Mother Church.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IT IS NOW EVIDENT THAT ANY CATHOLIC AFFAIR IS NOW UNDER THE NEO CONTROL. NEOCATS BEING HIRED TO TAKE THE HELM.
ReplyDeleteHELP WANTED; ONLY NEOS PLEASE APPLY.
BTW; JESSICA I HOPE YOUR JOB IS VOLUNTARY..REMEBER MONEY IS EVIL!
I don't know anymore what to think. After all the sass and back talk these young people hand out, can you image what they would say to someone inquiring about buying a crypt, or the sort? I think I best get buried at a private cemetery. At least I know how the operate and what their personality is.
DeleteRemember the Nov.2 is coming up. Keep you money in your pockets. They do not provide the flowers. They do not paint the headstone. They do not provide the candles.
Jessica does not need to be paid...Diana is very quick to say VOLUNTARY SERVICES with no pay...so don't grumble Jessica...You are there to serve, counsel, evangelized those who need comfort. Then again why should you give a hoot? Your believe is let the dead bury the dead....
What the hell is this neocrat doing there? What a hypocrite. Working in the cemetery and not following the teachings of the NCW, "let the dead bury the dead". BTW the financial reports were due on Aug 15. Hope you are talented enough to complete this statement. We will be waiting for your submission to the Archbishop. Good luck. If you can't do it, then resign.
DeleteThank you Marilou for expressing in a way I could never what I am feeling. To those of us who are discovering the beauty of our faith please step forward with Marilou, Tim, Chuck and all these brave priest. We must regain the true Catholic Church on our island and not one based on the edicts of a layman. Your name will give those in power notice that we are no longer faceless victims.
ReplyDeleteI meant Marilu
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marilou for calling a spade a spade. I like your "under the guise of "obedience" -- a blind obedience disregarding our God-given human intellect and our God-given conscience for deciphering a right from wrong or a truth from a destructive deception -- you seven, can count on the full support and backing of the Faithful Catholics of this island! Along with our ardent prayers for you, we will include all our Clergy on Guam and for our beloved and authentic Holy Mother Church.".
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that one of my favorite priests, Fr. Gus Gumataotao of St. Jude, Sinajana is one of the signatories. It is so nice to note that when he talks in his homily about being truthful, he actually is truthful.
Thank you Marilu for your intelligent and insightful comments. Your God-given talent for writing and gifts from the Holy Spirit are evident in your posts. [X] Like

ReplyDeleteIt is like Ireland in the 1970s. Signs would read Catholics need not apply.
Father Gus was being called to the Archbishop's office. Keep on the alert!
