1.What was Vatican II?

ANSWER: The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or

Vatican II, was an Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic

Church opened under Pope John XXIII in 1962 and closed

under Pope Paul VI in 1965. It is reconed as the twenty-first

ecumenical council by the Roman Catholic Church. Four

future pontiffs took part in the councils opening session:

Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini, who on succeedingPope John XXIII took the name of Paul VI; Bishop Albino

Luciani, the future Pope John Paul I; Bishop Karol Wojtya,

who became Pope John Paul II; and 35-year-old Father

Joseph Ratzinger, present as a theological consultant, who

more than forty years later became Pope Benedict XVI.

Throughout the 1950s, Roman Catholic theological and

biblical studies had begun to sway away from the neo-

scholasticism and biblical literalism that the reaction to the

Modernist heresy had enforced from after the First Vatican

Council well into the 20th century. This shift could be seen in

theologians such as Karl Rahner, and John Courtney Murray


3/18

who looked to integrate modern human experience with

Christian dogma, as well as others such as Yves Congar,

Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) and Henri deLubac who looked to what they saw as a more accurate

understanding of scripture and the early Church Fathers as

a source of renewal (ressourcement).

At the same time the worlds bishops faced tremendous

challenges driven by political, social, economic, and

technological change. Some of these bishops sought new

ways of addressing those challenges. The First Vatican

Council had been held nearly a century before but had

been cut short when the Italian Army entered in the city

of Rome at the end of Italian unification. As a result, only

deliberations on the role of the Papacy were completed, with

examination of pastoral and dogmatic issues concerning

the whole church left undone.

Pope John XXIII, however, gave notice of his intention

to convene the Council on 25 January 1959, less thanthree months after his election in October 1958. While he

expressed his intentions in many messages over the next

three years in formal detail, one of the best known images

is of Pope John, when asked why the Council was needed,

reportedly opening a window and saying, I want to throw

open the windows of the Church so that we can see out

and the people can see in. He invited other ChristianChurches to send observers to the Council. Acceptances

came from both Protestant and Orthodox Churches. The

Russian Orthodox Church, in fear of the Communist Soviet

Government, accepted only when assured that the Council

would be apolitical in nature. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Vatican_II)

2.What teachings of the church, if any, were actually

changed during the Vatican II Council?


4/18

4

ANSWER: The Catholic Catechism will tell us that Vatican II

did not change the doctrines; it only appeared to change

the doctrines. This is the present Catechism of the Catholic

Church article 816, The sole Church of Christ which ourSavior, after his Resurrection, entrusted to Peters pastoral

care, commissioning him and the other apostles to extend

and rule it This Church, constituted and organized as a

society in the present world, subsists in the Catholic Church

The Second Vatican Councils Decree on Ecumenism

explains: For it is through Christs Catholic Church alone,

which is the universal help towards salvation, that thefullness of the means of salvation can be obtained.

Further Questions Answered, Bonaventure Hinwood OFM,

Vatican II teaches in several places that the Catholic Church,

and it alone, is the Church founded by Jesus Christ.

September 5, 2000 The Independent, It must be alwaysclear that the one, holy, catholic and apostolic universal

church is not the sister, but the mother of all the churches.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, (Pope Benedict XVI)

NOTE: Theres been no change in doctrine, only Protestants

believe that there has been a change of doctrine.

3.What was written during Vatican II about the liturgy?

ANSWER: The participation in the Celebration should be

internal, but Must be, on the other hand, external also

internal participation by gestures and bodily attitudes, by

the acclamations, responses and singing.

NOTE: So, there was to be a subtle shift in the emphasis

of worship from the Word of God to the singing. Which is

taking place in much of the protestant world at the


5/18

5

present time as well.

4.According to the late, Pope John Paul II, what was essential

for unity among Christian Churches?

ANSWER: For unity, all churches must accept papal

authority.

5.Does the Bible teach that the Catholicism would once

again be prominent again?

Revelation 13:8 > And ____ that dwell upon the earth shall

worship him, whose names are not written in the book of

life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

NOTE: Indeed it does, the majority of the population of

this planet will worship by following the civil legislation that

finds its origin in the church of Rome.

6.Are churches today forgetting the high cost of the

reformation?

Lutheran leader says Pope might be global spokesperson

for all Christians. Friday Church News Notes, July 6, 2001.

Ishmael Noko, general secretary of the Lutheran World

Fellowship, said in March that Lutherans can certainly

look to the Pope as one of the spiritual leaders in the

world today. He went on to say that the ecumenical

movement requires Christians to look into the possibility

that the Pope should become the global spokesperson for

all Christians.

Time Magazine, A half-Millennium Rift: Lutherans and

Catholics reach agreement on the issues that once split


6/18

6

western Christianity in two. And by 1999, November 1,

churches end 500-year rift so the Lutherans acknowledged

the Pope.

7.What is the World Council of Churches?

ANSWER: The World Council of Churches (WCC) is the

broadest and most inclusive among the many organized

expressions of the modern ecumenical movement, a

movement whose goal is Christian unity.

The WCC brings together more than 340 churches,

denominations and church fellowships in over 100 countries

and territories throughout the world, representing some

550 million Christians and including most of the worlds

Orthodox churches, scores of denominations from such

historic traditions of the Protestant Reformation as Anglican,

Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed, as well as

many united and independent churches. While the bulk ofthe WCCs founding churches were European and North

American, today most are in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean,

Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific.

For its member churches, the WCC is a unique space: one

in which they can reflect, speak, act, worship and work

together, challenge and support each other, share and

debate with each other. As members of this fellowship,WCC member churches: - are called to the goal of visible

unity in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship;- promote

their common witness in work for mission and evangelism;-

engage in Christian service by serving human need, breaking

down barriers between people, seeking justice and peace,

and upholding the integrity of creation; and - foster renewal

in unity, worship, mission and service. http://wcc-coe.org/wcc/who/index-e.html

8.What is the role of the WCC with the Ecumenical

Movement?


7/18

7

ANSWER: The modern ecumenical movement began

in the late 19th and early 20th century, when Christiansbegan to pray and work together across denominational

boundaries. By the close of the 1920s, several pioneering

movements had been formed to advance the cause of

church unity worldwide. In 1937, church leaders agreed to

establish a World Council of Churches, and in August 1948,

representatives of 147 churches assembled in Amsterdam

to constitute the WCC.

Since then, a growing number of churches on every

continent have joined this search for Christian unity. They

have built new bridges over ancient chasms separating

believers from one another. As their relationships with each

other have changed, so too has the role of the WCC within

the ecumenical movement.

The ecumenical movement encourages cooperation and

sharing, and common witness and action by churches. Itseeks to renew the church through activities and networks

among clergy and lay people, especially women and youth. It

seeks visible unity, not as an end in itself, but to give credible

witness so that the world may believe, and to serve the

healing of the human community and the wholeness of

Gods entire creation.

While it shares in other forms of international, interculturaland interreligious cooperation and dialogue, the ecumenical

movement is rooted in the life of the Christian churches.

And while it has worldwide scope (oikoumene means the

whole inhabited earth), it is particularly interested in the

true being and life of the church as an inclusive community,

in each place and in all places. ttp://wcc-coe.org/wcc/who/

index-e.html

NOTE: This sounds very good. But what must be thrown

to the ground to have such a unity? The truth, and when


8/18

8

you throw the truth down, you throw Jesus down, for

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.

9.Who was one of the WCC main spokespersons?

Associate Professor Chung Hyun Kyung, graduated from

Ewha Womens University in Seoul with the B.A. (1979) and

the M.A. (1981). She holds the M.Div. from the School of

Theology at Claremont (1984), a diploma from the Womens

Theological Center in Boston (1984), and the Ph.D. from

Union Theological Seminary (1989). She is a lay theologian

of the Presbyterian Church of Korea, as well as once having

become a temporary Buddhist novice nun. In 1999, she

lived for a year in a Buddhist monastery in the Himalayas

studying mediation. Now she is in the process of becoming

a dharma teacher at the Kwan Eum Zen School in New York

City. She first came to international attention in 1991, when

she made a now famous speech a feminist/Asian/ ThirdWorld interpretation of the Holy Spiritat the World Council

of Churches in Canberra, Australia. She defines herself as

a salimist (Korean Eco-feminist) from the Korean word

salim, which means making things alive.

10.What did Chung Hyun Kyung speak about during her

famous speech at the WCC in Canberra, Australia?

One of the key speakers was Korean professor Chung

Hyun-Kyung, who exalted pagan concepts of God. Of the

Holy Spirit Chung said, Dont bother the Spirit by calling

her all the time. She is working hard with us. Eighteentimes Chung summoned the spirits of the dead who have

suffered injustices in the past and claimed that without

hearing the cries of these spirits, we cannot hear the voice

of the Holy Spirit. After calling on the spirits of the dead,


9/18

Chung said, I hope the presence of all our ancestors

spirits here with us shall not make you uncomfortable. She

also summoned the spirit of Earth, Air, and Water. She

blasphemously claimed the Holy Spirit was the same as theimage of Kwan In, an Asian goddess of compassion and

wisdom. Chung went even further in her blasphemy when

she said, Perhaps this might also be a feminine image of

the Christ who is the first born among us, one who goes

before and brings others with her. For these unspeakable

blasphemies Chung received a standing ovation from the

WCC delegates!http://www.wayoflife.org/otimothy/ti010003.htm

She explains: I came from a Shamanist, Buddhist and

Confucian and Taoist and Christian tradition when I

look at our history of religion, we have more than 5000

years of Shamanism, more than 2000 years of Taoism, and

almost 2000 years of Buddhism, 700 years of Confucianismand only 100 years of Protestantism in Korea. Therefore,

whenever I go to temples and look at Buddha, I feel so

young Buddha died in his 80s and Jesus died when he

was 33. Maybe Jesus should be called Too young to

understand. wow, I feel like my bowel is Shamanist, my

heart is Buddhist, my right Brain is Confucianist, and my left

brain is Christian, Kyung continued. I call it a family of godsand they are together.

11.What were some of the worship songs like during this

meeting?

TEACH US TO KNOW & LOVE YOUO God of a thousand names and faces, Mother and father

of all life on earth, You who live in the cells of all life, Teach

us to know and love you. Lady of peace, of love, of wisdom,


10/18

Lord of all the stars and planets, Best consoler, inward guest,

Teach us to know and love you.

BLESSING THE BREAD

In the beginning was God, in the beginning, the source of

all that is, In the beginning, God yearning, God, moaning,

God, labouring, God, rejoicing,And God loved what SHE

had made ,And God said, It is good.,Then God, knowing

that all that is good is shared held the earth tenderly in HER

arms, God yearned for relationship, God longed to sharethe good earth, And humanity was born in the yearning of

God, We were born to share the earth...

God said, You are my people,, My friends, My lovers, My

sisters, And brothers, All of you shall eat, of the bread, And

the power, All shall eat.

Then God, gathering up HER courage in love, said, Let there

be bread! And Gods sisters, HER friends and lovers, knelton the earth planted the seeds prayed for the rain sang for

the grain made the harvest cracked the wheat pounded

the corn kneaded the dough kindled the fire filled the air

with the smell of fresh bread

And there was bread! And it was good!

I BELIEVE

I believe in God, MOTHER-FATHER SPIRIT who called theworld into being, who created men and women and set

them free to live in love, in obedience and community.

I believe in God, who because of love for HER creation,

entered the world to share our humanity, to rejoice and to

despair, to set before us the paths of life and death; to be

rejected, to die, but finally to conquer death and to bind

the world to HERSELF.

PRAYER OF ST. ANSELM

And Thou, Jesus, sweet Lord, Art Thou not also a mother?

Truly, THOU ART A MOTHER, And Thou, Jesus, sweet

Lord, Art Thou not also a MOTHER? THE MOTHER OF ALLMOTHERS, Who tasted death, In Thy desire to give life to

Thy children.

BAKERWOMAN GOD

Bakerwoman God, I am your living bread. Strong, brown,

Bakerwoman God, I am your low, soft and being-shaped

loaf. I am your rising bread, well-kneaded by some divineand knotty pair of knuckles, by your warm earth-hands. I

am bread well-kneaded.

Put me in your fire, Bakerwoman God, put me in your own

bright fire.

Break me, Bakerwoman God. I am broken under your

caring Word. Drop me in your special juice in pieces. Drop

me in your blood.Drunken me in the great red flood. Self-giving chalice,

swallow me. My skin shines in the divine wine. My face is

cup-covered and I drown.

I fall up in a red pool in a gold world where your warm

sunskin hand is there to catch and hold me. Bakerwoman

God, remake me. http://www.wayoflife.org/otimothy/

ti010003.htm

NOTE: It seems as if this has been taken from Revelation

Chapter 17. This is a worship service that brings everyone,

all religions back to Rome. Now remember that Gary Kah

said the ancient Babylonian religion through Kabbalism etc.

through to Freemasonry controls Marxism, the American

Secret Political Societies, the International Baking, and theWorld Council of Churches. Do you think he might have

been right? With their teaching, Jesus was wrong, he was

too young to understand we have nature worship all of

these things, that is definitely not biblical.

12.What philosophy and religion did world famous preacher

Norman Vincent Peale adhere to?

Freemasonry has always welcomed men of all faiths and

religious beliefs to enter its doors. The only requirement is

for good men to believe in the Supreme Architect and the

immortality of the soul. Norman Vincent Peale, Masonic

Scottish Rite Journal 33rd degree magazine http://www.

srmason-sj.org/council/fmrel.htm.

Masons, in fact, go beyond narrow sectarianism and

limiting dogma. They agree with the statement of the

famous statesman and writer Edmund Burke: The body

of all true religion consists, to be sure, in obedience to the

will of the Sovereign of the world, in a confidence in His

declarations, and in imitation of His perfection.

I have foundthat the Scottish Rite and the Symbolic Lodge

espouse the belief of no one religion, but are a respecter of

all major religions of the world.

NOTE: Thats what Norman Vincent Peale said who was a

33 degree Freemason. It is also worthy of note, that BillyGraham the worlds most famous protestant evangelist

called Norman Vincent Peale his mentor.

13.What does mega-preacher Robert Schuller teach about

the Bible and Jesus?

Robert Schuller: Quotes from Self-Esteem: The NewReformation, he writes, Classical theology has erred in

its insistence that theology be God-centered, not man-

centered (p. 64).


13/18

13

One classical role of the pulpit in Protestantism has been

to preach sermons which imply indoctrination more than

education. Within this form of communication, there isan inherent, intrinsic inclination to intimidate, manipulate,

and, hence, offend the persons most prized quality of

humanness his dignity. (p. 153)

Sin is any act or thought that robs myself or another human

being of his or her self-esteem (p. 14)

Schuller said, Jesus had an ego. He said, I, if I be lifted up,

will draw all men unto me. Wow, what an ego trip He was

on! 8/12/80 Phil Donahue Show.

Questioner: How could the cross, as you write, sanctify

the ego trip, and make us proud, in the light of passages

that say, I hate pride and arrogance (Prov. 8:13), Pride goesbefore destruction (Prov. 16:18), The Lord detests all the

proud (Prov. 16:5), Do not be proud (Rom. 12:16), Love

does not boast, it is not proud (1 Cor. 13:4). In fact Paul

warns Timothy that in the last days men will be lovers of

themselves (2 Tim. 3:2). Why should we do anything

to encourage people to become lovers of themselves if

Paul in fact warned others that that would be the state ofgodlessness in the last days?

Schuller: I hope you [preach this] because you could do

a lot of damage to a lot of beautiful people. if you

preach that text, oh man, I sure hop you give it the kind

of interpretation that I do, or Ill tell you, youll drive them

farther away and theyll be madder than hell at you and

theyll turn the Bible off, and theyll switch you off, andtheyll turn on the rock music and Madonna. Just because

its in the Bible doesnt mean you should preach it. it is

so difficult to preach some of those texts and not come

across as lacking humility 11/92 radio interview with


14/18

14

Robert Schuller Rapidnet.com.

Robert Schuller: what sets me apart from fundamentalists

[is that they] are trying to convert everybody to believe howthey believe. We know the things the major faiths can

agree on. We try to focus on those without offending those

with different view-points. (3/23/89, USA Today).

Schuller said: When we know we have been redeemed

and we know we are part of Gods family, we are ready to

dream that great divine dream of building the kingdom ofGod in the world. (Source: 5/97, Sword and Trumpet.)

Schuller said: I dont think anything has been done in the

name of Christ that and under the banner of Christianity

that has proven more destructive to human personality

and, hence, counterproductive to the evangelism enterprise

than the often crude, uncouth, and unchristian strategy ofattempting to make people aware of their lost and sinful

condition. (Time, March 18, 1985).

The most effective mantras employ the M sound. You

can get the feel of it by repeating the words, I am, I am

many times over. Transcendental Meditation or TM is

not a religion nor is it necessarily anti-Christian. (Peace ofMind Through Possibility Thinking, pp. 131-32).

NOTE: It is interesting that Robert Schuller, according to

a variety of different sources is a 33rd Degree Freemason.

It seems that his teaching is in perfect harmony with that

organization.

14.Who did Protestant evangelist, Billy Graham, meet with

in 1981?

The Religious News Services reported on January 13, 1981,


15/18


16/18

16

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We

ought to ______ God rather than ____.

MY DECISION FOR JESUS

One day soon, this message about Jesus Christ, will become

very dangerous to present. Jesus has never been popular,

and He never will be. When Jesus was on this earth He

was crucified, and today the devil still hates Jesus, that iswhy he wants to crucify the message for this time. But,

Praise God, Jesus did not stay on the cross, therefore the

message for this time will be resurrected as well. Do you

desire in your heart to stand for Jesus? To obey Him no

matter what the entire world does? How is this possible?

Friends, I believe that we need to know him, Jesus said in

John 17:3, This is life eternalthat they might know me.Do you commit today, to really, sincerely and truly, acquaint

yourself with Him at be at peace? Yes or No
