I want to begin tonight by having you open your Bible to the first chapter of the book of Galatians, Paul's letter to the region of Galatia. Just a focal point, a starting point, Galatians chapter 1, Paul begins in that first verse, "Paul, an Apostle not sent from men, nor through the agency of man but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead, and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia." And then this, "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ who gave Himself for our sins that He might deliver us out from this evil age according to the will of our God and Father to whom be the glory forever more. Amen. I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him...that is God...who called you by the grace of Christ for a different gospel which is really not another, only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. Even though we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. Or am I now seeking the favor of men or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ."
Rendering service to God and rendering service to Christ demands that we forsake all efforts to please men to gain the favor of men and that we speak the truth. Any other gospel is a false gospel. Any preacher of any other gospel is a false teacher. Any other system that advocates a false gospel is a false system, and all of it is accursed by God. It has to be a false gospel if it calls for worshiping a false god. This chapter opens reiterating the due, glory forevermore given to Jesus Christ and God the Father. Anyone else stepping in to usurp that glory which belongs to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is accursed. In the case of the Roman Catholic Church, they have created a false goddess who has blasphemously been given the name of "the Mother of Jesus, Mary," but who has absolutely nothing to do with her. The Roman Catholic Church leads the world in pagan goddess worship, blasphemous idolatry pretending to be Christianity.
In Catholicism it is the false goddess named Mary through whom all graces, all blessings, all divine works pass to people. No one can be saved, no one can be blessed unless Mary intercedes. She is presented as all-knowing, all-wise, all-merciful, everywhere present and all-powerful, attributes which belong only to God.
For two weeks now, we have considered what the Catholic Church says about Mary, this goddess that they worship. We have looked in particular at the historical record of the worship of Mary accumulated by St. Alphonsus Delaguarie who wrote The Glories of Maryin the year 1745 which has been since translated into English and printed again and again and again with the full affirmation and imprimatur of the official Roman Catholic Church. In this book there is the sum of all the glories of Mary which has been vouchsafe to the Roman Catholic Church and the Church itself calls upon all its constituents to give Mary that honor she is due. She is identified as Mary, our Queen; Mary, our mother; Mary, our life; Mary, our sweetness; Mary, our hope; Mary, our help; Mary, our mediatress; Mary, our advocate; Mary, our guardian; and Mary, our salvation. It is said that Mary delivers us from hell, Mary delivers us from purgatory, and Mary leads us to heaven.
And it should be said that Delaguarie, who collected all the Marion dogma and devotion, was himself one of the most celebrated and revered authorities in the Roman Catholic Church. Delaguarie was himself a cardinal in life, and a saint in death. I told you that Mary worship is not to be treated as some low-level popular movement only among the poor. Mary worship is never rebuked by the Church hierarchy. It is rather taught by them. It is encouraged by them. Bishops, cardinals and Popes themselves have been among the most devoted to Mary, none more so than John Paul II who recently died. It was to John...Pope John XXII that Our Lady of Mount Carmel appeared and gave the Sabbatine(??) privilege in 1322. Mary was confirmed by Popes Alexander V, Clement II, Pious V, Gregory XIII, and Paul the V and many more. She has been and is relied upon by tens of millions of Catholics. It is said that Mary promises to assist us at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation. "I promise...she says...this assistance to all those who on the first Saturday of five consecutive months shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the rosary and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the rosary with the intention of making reparation to me and who die wearing my brown scapular." Salvation is through Mary and that salvation comes by her assistance at the hour of death when one has on a series of five consecutive Saturdays gone through the rosary and dies wearing a brown scapular, brown cloth.
Despite denials by Roman Catholic apologists, Mary is worshiped. In fact, Mary is the main god in Roman Catholicism which is nothing more than the worship of a non-existent goddess who usurps the glory and the worship that is due only to God and Christ and the Spirit, the true worship of the true God. Catholicism is then as Mary is a false god a false religion, as demonic a deception as any non-Christian religion or any unbiblical cult. And such assessments are the result of what the Catholic Church says about Mary. This is not our words, this is really their words.
Recently in the city of Los Angeles, the Roman Catholic Church erected a massive new cathedral called The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Some of you have known about it, perhaps seen it. The entrance to this expensive massive cathedral are some great bronze doors. On those doors are multiple images of the Virgin, symbolically she is the way in to God. In a series of depictions on that door there is the Virgin of Pomata(?), Pomata is a village in the Andes where supposedly Mary appeared. There is the ex vototo the Virgin of Guadalupe. Ex votois a Latin phrase meaning "out of a vow." There is there a picture of a devotee making a vow, a shrine in gratitude and homage to Mary. In fact, is shows a mother and a child kneeling before the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. And then there is an actual image of the Virgin of Guadalupe as the virgin stands framed by the rays of the sun in the typical Guadalupe replication of the supposed vision. Above and below the image are bouquets of thornless roses which is a beloved part of the supposed appearing of Mary to the Indian, Juan Diego...whom, by the way, no history records ever existed. There is also on that same door, the apocalyptic virgin in extremely flamboyant image. The virgin is shown with the mighty wings of Revelation chapter 12 crushing Satan's head between her foot and a huge lily seen at the bottom. And the lily, we are told, is the symbol of her own sinlessness and that is the source of her own invincibility.
There is another image on the doors of the cathedral that depicts the divine shepherdess. The virgin supposedly once appeared to a pious Spanish monk dressed as a shepherdess. There is another image on the doors of the Virgin of the Cave, supposedly an old Spanish legend that the virgin appeared somewhere...the appearance of the virgin was replicated in an image, the image was buried accidently in a cave, miraculously recovered and since recovery has had the power to do miracles, particularly popular in the Spanish Carribean. You look again at the door and you will see another image and it is the image of the Virgin of Mont Serat(?) Catalonia, home to the authentically black virgin, the most authentic of all supposed black madonnas of Europe, in this case both the mother and the child she holds is black. You look again and there is the Virgin of the Candlestick with other virgins of Belain(?), Spanish for Bethlehem, another appearance of the Virgin supposedly in Peru. You look again and there's another image of Mary on the door as she is the Virgin of Mercy and she is spreading her cloak protectively over the souls that are suffering in Purgatory. And these suffering souls are reaching up as if to clamor for her intercession to get them out. You look again and there is the Virgin of the Rosary of Chichingquera(???) which is a town in Columbia. And in this picture, the virgin is flanked by St. Anthony and St. Andrew and she is traditionally adorned by the rosary. You look again and you will find a depiction of Pieta, Mary strong, beautiful, holding the emaciated and weak Christ.
This door is typical, it is representative of what you find in Catholicism all over the globe. It is the worship of Mary. No other conclusion is possible or even conceivable.
Now as we look at this, I want to review what we've said in the last two weeks, and then get us into tonight's discussion. Number one, part one, we considered the history of Roman Catholic devotion to Mary. From the Church's own statements through all the centuries of its existence we looked at the attributes of Mary, we looked at elements that belong only to God that belong to her. We considered prayers to Mary, hymns to Mary, all manner of expressions of devotion and worship to the one who is called "The Queen of Heaven," which is the name of a pagan goddess in the book of Jeremiah which the children of Israel were forbidden to worship under the penalty of divine judgment, which when they did worship the judgment fell. And so in our first look, we looked at devotion to Mary through the history of the Catholic Church.
In the second we considered not so much the devotion but doctrine, dogma regarding Mary...none of which, by the way, is found of Scripture, none of which is found in Scripture. And the Church of Rome acknowledges that to be so but that does not matter because there is another source of revelation. The other source of revelation is the Church itself, the true interpreter of Scripture and the ongoing source of revelation. When the Pope speaks ex cathedrathat is as if the Word of God has been uttered from heaven itself. When the councils make a determination, that is the Word of God. When the Church determines something to be true, it is true because the Church says it is true, end of argument. The Church is the continuing channel of divine revelation and the only infallible interpreter of Scripture.
Just this last week when I was on Larry King program, some of you may have seen it, with a whole handful of priests, I was the only Protestant in the building, believe me, or on the program and I tried to engage them off the camera in a discussion about Scripture and I was really again amazed at the absolute ignorance of what the Bible says. They don't even know the content of the Bible, let alone what it means. And the repeated statements, particularly by one of the young men who was on that program called "God or the Girl," that follows the path of some young men considering the priesthood but having trouble with celibacy, who kept saying to me, "But the Church has said...but the Church has said...but the Church has said." Ignorant of Scripture, basing everything on what the Church has said because the Church is infallible...infallible. Any religion...any religion that has a source of divine revelation other than the Bible or a source of revelation equal to the Bible, or a source of revelation which is the only true interpreter of the Bible is a false religion. God has spoken He has spoken only in His Word. He has not spoken outside of His Word. To say that God has spoken when He has not spoken is to add to Scripture and to add to Scripture is to bring upon yourself, according to Revelation 22:18 and 19, the plagues that are written in the Bible.
Still, the Roman Catholic Church affirms this corollary and in fact superior source of revelation that comes to the Church in an ongoing sense. The French Roman Catholic George Tavard(?) wrote, "Tradition was the overflow of the Word outside sacred Scripture. It was neither separate from nor identical with Holy Writ. Its contents are the other Scriptures through which the Word made Himself known. Tradition and Scripture." So they don't need the Bible for anything and all the doctrines regarding Mary come from their tradition.
Thomas Aquinas, the favorite theologian of all scholastic Roman Catholics who lived from 1225 to 1274, and the most renown theologian of Roman Catholic history, states in the first question of his summa theologicathat sacred Scripture consists of "The Biblical texts and the theology of the fathers and the doctors of the Church." The Council of Trent in 1546 produced the official view. The discussion began on February 8, 1546, didn't finish until April 8, same year, several months. The bishops debated long and hard and the first draft of the decree did not appear until a special meeting on March 23. Finally the summary said this, "The purity of the gospel of God promised by the prophets was promulgated by Christ. It was preached by the Apostles as the rule of all saving truth and of all moral discipline. This truth is contained partly ion written books, partly in unwritten traditions. These traditions are ascribed to Christ Himself or to the Apostles to whom the Holy Ghost dictated them. They have reached down to us transmitted as though by hand. The council, Council of Trent, therefore acknowledges the books of the Old and New Testament and these traditions as dictated orally by Christ Himself or the Holy Ghost and kept in the Catholic Church in continuous succession." Then this statement. "Equal adhesion of faith is due to both. The Council receives them as sacred and canonical. It will use both to constitute dogmas and restore the morals in the Church," end quote.
So you don't need the Bible because you have the Church's own pronouncements as the very Word of Christ. And all the components of Maryolotry, all the elements of devotion and dogma related to Mary come from tradition and they admit it.
Now let me remind you of the doctrines we looked at last time. The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, that is Mary was born without original sin. She is holy, sinless, stainless, undefiled and pure. That became dogma under Pious IX in 1854. Corollary to that, Mary's permanent sinlessness, a consequence of that absence of original sin she was her whole life sinless, called the All-holy one, worthy of worship and worthy of praise.
The third doctrine, the doctrine of Perpetual virginity was established in 649. It said that she not only was a virgin before Jesus was born, she even remained a virgin during the birth so that the child never passed through the canal at all but came out miraculously and all her life she was never touched by her husband. She was a virgin perpetually. Those who are told...those who are called her children were not her children at all, they were nieces and nephews.
The fourth doctrine came in the year 1950 under Pious XII, it is called the Doctrine of Assumption, that is that Mary was assumed into heaven when she died, she ascended into heaven. And at the moment she ascended into heaven, she emptied Purgatory. Delaguarie gives a bizarre account of her death, even in his period, a couple of hundred years before this was made dogma, and in that bizarre account of her death, you have this kind of strange death of a sort of para-normal kind of person. Delaguarie says that on her deathbed, all the holy Apostles were weeping around the bed, throwing themselves on their knees around her and kissing her holy feet. And Jesus appeared in the room carrying His cross and she says to Him, "My son, into Thy hands I commend my spirit." That's a brief summary of several pages of the most wacky, wild, screwball description of the death, supposedly, of Mary who was then assumed into heaven intact.
The fifth doctrine we looked at is Mary as mother of God, Queen of Heaven, the sovereign reigning monarch who is, practically speaking, superior to God and superior to Christ since, as we pointed out, they always do whatever she asks them to do and they don't do what she doesn't ask. That's how Catholics are held to Mary. If you want to get saved, you have to go to Mary. If you want blessings, you've got to go to Mary, you've got to love Mary. If you love Mary hard enough and long enough and faithfully enough, you'll get what you want.
The sixth area of doctrine regarding Mary are apparitions. She descends to earth frequently to visit people, lowly people, outcast people, peasant-type people, even children and the suffering people. This goes on all the time. There was a very interesting special this weekend on the History channel, some of you may have seen it, on Mary and apparitions. And it went on for several hours, telling the story of her supposed appearance in...her appearance in Setun(?) in Egypt in 1968 where one million people saw her on the top of a Coptic dome. Her appearance in 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, her appearance in 1981 in Majagoria(?), the details go on and on, fascinating details, some that I would just rehearse to you. On occasions when Mary comes and you have a collective group of people who see the apparition, they are all silent at the same time, they all speak at the same time, and all they say the same thing when they speak. They are in a trance at the time, in a semi-state of consciousness, all of this is indicative of demonic activity. And the last message that Mary gives in all of these appearances is a message of horror and hell, a horrific fearful message that seems, to me, to be just the kind of thing that demons would want to say to people is going to happen to them if they don't worship Mary. When the truth is, it's what's going to happen to them if they do.
The seventh in these doctrines is the Doctrine of Mary as Mediatrix, to say that she is the source and channel of all graces to us, even salvation grace. No grace is conferred on anyone without her actual intercessory cooperation. She is called the Mother of Grace, the Mother of Mercy. People tap into that grace, into that mercy through loving and worshiping her and by the prayers of the rosary which came in about 1090.
Here's a good summary that comes from Pious IX who actually ruled the Vatican from 1846 to 1878, Pious IX, hear his ineffibilis deus, this is a summary about Mary. "Let all the children of the Catholic Church who are so very dear to us, hear these words of ours. With a still more ardent zeal for piety, religion and love, let them continue to venerate, invoke and pray to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, conceived without original sin, let them fly with utter confidence to this most sweet Mother of Mercy and Grace and all dangers, difficulties and needs, doubts and fears. Under her guidance, under her patronage, under her kindness and protection, nothing is to be feared. Nothing is hopeless because while bearing toward us a true motherly affection and having in her care the work of our salvation, she is solicitous about the whole human race and since she has been appointed by God to be the Queen of Heaven and earth and is exalted above all the choirs of angels and saints, and even stands at the right hand of her only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, she presents our petitions in a most efficacious manner. What she asks she obtains, her pleas can never be unheard." That from Pope Pious IX is Catholic dogma.
Now that brings us to the final two doctrinal deceptions regarding Mary. Number eight, that she is co-redemptrix, that she is co-redemptrix. And I will say at the beginning, this has not yet been formalized into a final official dogma. The delay in doing so is due to ecumenical concerns. This would be a final blow to Protestant reconciliation for some and even to Eastern Orthodox reconciliation. So they are reluctant to make this official dogma, but it is unofficial reality, nonetheless. For example, in the 1990's a petition came to John Paul II with which he agreed, calling for the Church to officially dogmatize what the Church believes, quote: "Mary is co-redemptrix with Jesus Christ." Four-point-four million signatures from Catholics around the world, many nations, were on that petition. In the St. Peter Catechism, one of the most familiar of all Catholic Catechisms, we read this, "Did God will to make our redemption and all its consequences depend on the free consent of the Blessed Virgin Mary?" Answer, "God willed that our redemption and all its consequences should depend on the free consent of the Blessed Virgin Mary." Pope Leo XIII said, "Every grace to man has three degrees. One, by God it is communicated to Christ. Two, by Christ it is passed to the Virgin. Three, from the Virgin it descends to us." That includes, of course, the grace of salvation.
"No amount of verbal gymnastics can evade the fact that Mary saves in the Roman system. All gifts, all virtues, all graces, says Catholic theology, are dispensed by the hands of Mary to whomsoever when and as she pleases. O Lady, since thou art the dispenser of all graces and since the grace of salvation can only come through thy hands, our salvation depends on thee." Mary plays the key role in salvation. St. Bernard said, quote: "All men past, present and to come, should look upon Mary as the means and negotiator of salvation."
Let me give you a sample of what the chief Catholic saints have said about Mary's role as co-redeemer, so-savior. St. Bonaventure says, "The gates of heaven will open to all who confide in the protection of Mary." St. Efrem(?) calls devotion to the divine mother, quote: "The unlocking of the gates of the heavenly Jerusalem." Blossius(?) also says, quote: "To thee, O lady, are committed the keys and the treasures of the Kingdom of Heaven, therefore we ought constantly to pray to her." In the words of St. Ambrose, "Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise since thou hast its keys." The Church even says, quote: "Thou art its gate, the gate to paradise, hence the gates into the cathedral are the gates of Mary." St. Vulgentious(?) says, and I quote, "For by Mary, God descended from heaven into the world that by her man might ascend from earth to heaven." St.Ethanacious(?)said, "And thou, O lady, was filled with grace that thou mightest be the way of our salvation and the means of ascent to the heavenly kingdom." St. Bonaventure again, "Blessed are they who know the O mother of God, for the knowledge of thee is the high road to everlasting life and the publication of thy virtues is the way of eternal salvation." Now could Catholic people understand anything other than that they're saved by honoring and praying to Mary? Richard of St. Lawrence said, "Mary is the mistress of heaven, for there she commands as she wills and admits into heaven whom she wills." Abbot Garrick said, "He who serves Mary and for whom she intercedes is as certain of heaven as if he was already there. And those who do not serve Mary will not be saved." St. Bonaventure again, exclaims, "Give ear, O ye nations, and all you who desire heaven. Serve, honor Mary and certainly you will find eternal life."
The whole Roman Catholic system is filled with people who believe if they worship Mary they're going to heaven. That is a false god, and a false and damning gospel. Even St. Anselm, "It suffices, O lady, that thou willest it and therefore our salvation is certain." The Church and the saints greet her thus. "You, O Mary, together with Jesus Christ redeemed us. O Mary, our salvation is in your hands." She is the co-redemptrix because with Jesus she ransomed mankind from the power of Satan. "Jesus, says Catholic theology, redeemed us with the blood of His body, Mary redeemed us with the agonies of her heart, suffering in her heart what was lacking in the passion of Christ." Really? Something was lacking in the passion of Christ?
A popular tract is titled, "Heaven opened by the practice of the three Hail Mary's." That's the title of it, "Heaven opened by the practice of the three Hail Mary's." Here's what it promises, and I quote, "One of the greatest means of salvation, one of the surest signs of predestination is unquestionably the devotion to the most Blessed Virgin. A devout servant of Mary shall never perish." She it was...says the mistichi coporus, another Catholic document, "She it was who offered Christ on Golgotha to the eternal Father." She offered Christ on the cross to the eternal Father? My Bible says, "God offered His Son." John Paul II said this, "Mary participates in the redemption achieved by her Son and all graces are granted only through her intercession with her Son."
In a bizarre kind of thing, the II Vatican Council says this, "Not only did Mary offer her Son to God, but she remained at the cross to suffer with Him," as we heard, "to sort of fill up what was lacking in His passion," I guess. Here's a quote from II Vatican Council, "Thus the Blessed Virgin advanced in her pilgrimage of faith and faithfully persevered in her union with her Son unto the cross where she stood in keeping with the divine plan, enduring with her only begotten Son the intensity of His suffering, associated herself with His sacrifice in her mother's heart and lovingly consenting to the immolation of this victim which was born of her." In some strange way they have Mary somehow suffering in an efficacious manner for the very sins which had placed her Son there. According to the Church, Mary's sufferings were so intense that they brought her to the very threshold of death herself." She...says the Church...and I quote, "Participated with Jesus Christ in the very painful act of redemption." So the suffering of Mary at the cross was redeeming sinners. Mary suffered, says inter sodalicia(??), another document, "Mary suffered and as it were nearly died with her suffering Son, for the salvation of mankind she renounced her mother's rights and as far as it depended on her, offered her Son to placate divine justice so we may well say that she with Christ redeemed mankind." She had to give her will and her consent and offer her Son to God for God to place Him on the cross as a sacrifice. Mary had a part with Christ in the redemption of the human race. She is therefore called by the Church the co-operatrix in man's redemption. She is even called, "Our co-redemptor." It is said at the cross that Mary triumphed over the ancient serpent. Another document says, "It is no exaggeration to say that it is due chiefly to her leadership and help that the wisdom and teachings of the gospel spread so rapidly to all the nations of the world, in spite of the most obstinate difficulties and most cruel persecutions and brought everywhere in their train a new reign of justice and peace." And now Mary is the Holy Spirit. She's the one spreading the gospel. She's the one converting sinners. Delaguarie said, "She cooperated in our redemption and became the mother of our souls." Delaguarie writes, "A person deprived of Mary's help falls first into sin and then into hell." He says, "God will not save us without Mary's intercession." He writes, "In Mary we find life and eternal salvation. She is the happy gate of heaven." Delaguarie writes, "Since a man and a woman cooperated in our ruin, Adam and Eve, it was proper that another man and another woman should cooperate in our redemption, and these two were Jesus and Mary." "There is no doubt that Christ alone was more than sufficient to redeem us...he writes...yet it was much more becoming that the two sexes should work together to repair the evil which the two had worked together to bring about. So we call her the co-helper of redemption." In fact, on page 402 in Delaguarie's book he says, "The divine mother can be called the savior of the world."
It's painful to read this, by the way, to me, as I'm sure it is to you. So I'm going to skip some of it. Finally, just one last comment from Delaguarie, equally bizarre and blasphemous, page 26, "Mary merited to conceive the Son of God in her virginal womb." She earned the right to have God in her womb. "Our blessed lady gave the consent which the eternal Word was waiting for before He would become her Son. At the same time, she not only agreed and gave consent, but she asked with all her heart and obtained the salvation of all the elect." Mary is the savior.
A final doctrine, now let's just call it The Treasury of Merit. One of the most strange things in Catholicism but one that really makes the system work is the idea of the treasury of merit. Probably the most important doctrine to Roman Catholicism is Purgatory because that's a safety net. And if all goes bad here, you can land there and you can get out. That's...Catholicism is a tough thing, it's a hard sell because it's legalism, right? You've got people trying to live virtuous lives, even the priests can't do it, thousands upon thousands of them in our modern time and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands through history have been immoral because false religion can't restrain the flesh, right? So if the priests are as wretched as they are, and some of you heard one of the priests say the other night when Larry King said to him, "Have you been celibate all your life?" And he answered, "I've been celibate as far as I'm able." Well I know the answer to that. If you have been celibate as far as you are able, you haven't been celibate because you're not able. So nobody can live up to the standard. So everybody is going to fall short, so therefore nobody can know they're safe and so you'd say, "Well, I'm going to walk, I mean, this is too much, I can't handle this." But there's a safety net there. If you just don't do the really bad stuff, you're going to end up in a waiting place and eventually you'll get out of there. But the question is, how do you get out? How do you...how do you get good enough to get to heaven? How do you become righteous enough to get to heaven?
Since most people aren't going to earn heaven in this life, they're going to end up in this place called "Purgatory," which is from the idea of purge where you get purged, where whatever still remains of your wretchedness gets burned off by some kind of punishment for a period of time, hundreds or thousands of years. This is the place where the sinners almost all of them go. They fall short of the merit. They are there, they are purged and how does that happen? It happens one way, by having somebody else's merit applied to you and by being purged by pain. Pain gains merit. So if you have enough pain for enough millennia, your pain earns you merit. But to speed the process and get you out sooner, somebody else's merit can be applied to you and there happens to be in the Catholic world a treasury of merit. God has at His disposal excess merit. Some of it is His, and asked the priest the other night before we went on the television program, I said, "Now I don't understand about this treasury of merit. Whose merit goes in there? Does Mary's merit go in there?" Oh yes, because, you see, Mary had more merit than she needed. Whoa! She had more righteousness than necessary.
You tell me what kind of a system that is. Instead of saying, like the Bible says, that no man's righteousness can earn him a relationship to God, Mary had more than she needed and so Mary's excess merit and the excess merit of other beatified saints and some of the very righteousness of Christ all gets deposited in this treasury of merit. And you can get it. You can get it. In fact, you can get it before you die. In fact, you can buy it. That's what indulgences are. You pay a fee, you get your forgiveness purchased, punishment canceled, merit applied, Purgatory shortened and you avoid temporal punishment.
It was the year 2000, we were traveling around Italy doing a conference over there. It just happened to be a Jubilee year when certain doors to certain cathedrals were infused with indulgences. If you walk through that door, you received an indulgence. That is, you had certain sins of the past forgiven. I'm telling you, those were crowded places, all you had to do was go through the door. And there were certain doors, not all doors but certain doors spotted all over the place in certain cathedrals where you could go and get an indulgence. And here's what happened. When you got that indulgence, you had the merit that was in the treasury of merit, the excess merit of Mary applied to you, credited to you. If you're already in Purgatory, people who pray to Mary for you, people who light a candle to Mary or to the saints can accumulate merit that can be applied to you. That's why when you go into a Catholic Church you see all the candles everywhere, certain people praying for certain people. As long as the candle burns, the prayer goes on. And as long as the prayer goes on, the merit in the prayer is accumulating on the benefit of the person in Purgatory and the merit is being drawn out of the treasury of merit which merit essentially belongs to Christ, belongs to the saints who have excess merit and to Mary. The most effective means, by the way, of helping the dead in Purgatory is to have a priest say a Mass. So you pray, you pay the priest a fee and he says a Mass for the dead and merit is transferred to that person's account, Purgatory is shortened. You go to the church, you light the candle, you pay the priest to say the Mass, all of these things are intended to shorten up Purgatory. So you can borrow from the treasury of merit by paying for an indulgence, that's what launched the Reformation, remember, Tetzel coming along selling indulgences outraged Luther. Luther confronted the issue of indulgences and that launched the Reformation, the Protestant Reformation.
So Mary has more...far more merit than she needs and she is the source of this merit that can be purchased. " Indulgentiarum doctrina, post Vatican II, November 1, 1967, the Treasury of the Church...it says...is the infinite value which can never be exhausted which Christ's merits have before God. They were offered so that the whole of mankind could be set free from sin and attain communion with the Father. In Christ the Redeemer Himself, the satisfactions and merits of His redemption exist and find their efficacy. This Treasury includes as well the prayers and good works of the Blessed Virgin Mary, they are immense, unfathomable and pristine in their value before God." So you have there the righteousness of Christ, the righteousness of Mary, and it goes on to say, "In the Treasury also are the prayers and good works of all the saints, all those who have followed in the footsteps of Christ and by His grace made their lives holy, carried out the mission their Father entrusted to them. In this way they attained their own salvation and at the same time cooperated in saving their brothers in the unity of the mystical body." Is this a salvation by works system or what? You attain your salvation and not only yours, but if you have excess merit you can attain the salvation of somebody else. That's not old stuff, that's II Vatican Council in '67. This system is called The Sauros(??) Meritorium(?), the Treasury of Merit. Mary's merit is unfathomable, part of the Treasury of the Church. She has earned the right to deposit it there. She has earned the right to dispense all the treasures to those who honor her. Careful how you treat Mary. Mary saves you. Mary's merit is applied to you. Mary gets you out of Purgatory. Mary gets you into heaven. Pious X said, "She is the supreme minister of the distributions of grace." There's another quote, I'm not sure where this quote came from, "Through her, merits....through her merits the torments of souls in Purgatory are not only softened but shortened." Illustration in a Papal Bull attributed to Pope John XXII who died in 1334, "We learned that our Lady Mary wished to make it known to all that on the Saturday after their death, she would deliver from Purgatory all who wore the Carmelites scapular. The same promises were afterwards confirmed by several other Pontiffs, notably Paul V who in a Bull of the year 1613, that's what they call a Papal Declaration, set down the conditions which must be fulfilled for the gaining of the singular mercy. That is the Saturday after you die you can get out of Purgatory if you wear a Carmelite scapular. According to what was written in the solemn office of our Lady of Mount Carmel, we may piously believe that the Blessed Virgin comforts the members of the Scapular Confraternity in Purgatory with maternal love and that she soon delivers them...the next Saturday...by her intercession and takes them to heaven. Besides the scapular of Mount Carmel, those of the seven dolars(?), the blessed Trinity and the Immaculate Conception, those are orders in the Church, have been enriched with indulgences. The Pope Paul V said, 'For my own part I have been careful to receive them all. Give me all of Mary's stuff...he said...to get me out of Purgatory.'"
Well all these are lies, obviously, all are lies...patently(?) lies. And my time is gone. What that means is, painful as it is, one more, but you're going to like this one because next week we're going to look at what the Bible says about Mary. Amen? Now you better be there, I heard that amen. All right, let's pray.
It's important for us, Lord, to be discerning, discriminating, understanding the truth because we have such a critical mandate to proclaim this truth, to deliver souls who are in bondage to Satan's kingdom. O Lord, how the god of this world has blinded the minds of Roman Catholics all over the world who worship a non-entity, who worship demons impersonating a goddess. It's a grief that they've named her after the mother of our Lord. It would be a horror to her if she ever knew it. It's good that she's never known it, never heard a prayer from anybody, never come back to this world, never appeared, never spoken, never seen anything, but is lost in the wonder, love and praise of heavenly glory. Would be horrified to the worst degree if she thought someone was worshiping her. Father, not for her sake is this sad, but for the sake of those who are caught in this satanic deception and who turn from Christ to another god, from the true gospel to another gospel and are accursed. Help us, Lord, to be bold and loving and gracious and clear in the proclamation of this truth that these souls may be delivered and liberated. And we know it can't happen until they know the truth and so we have to tell them the truth. Give us opportunity to do that with frankness and with love that You might truly deliver those who are in bondage, damning bondage to this idolatry. In Christ's name. Amen.

Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Cook Time: 50 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups canned pumpkin, mashed
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg plus 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, optional
1 piece pre-made pie dough
Whipped cream, for topping
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place 1 piece of pre-made pie dough down into a (9-inch) pie pan and press down along the bottom and all sides. Pinch and crimp the edges together to make a pretty pattern. Put the pie shell back into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up. Fit a piece of aluminum foil to cover the inside of the shell completely. Fill the shell up to the edges with pie weights or dried beans (about 2 pounds) and place it in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the foil and pie weights and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust is dried out and beginning to color.
For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer. Add the pumpkin and beat until combined. Add the sugar and salt, and beat until combined. Add the eggs mixed with the yolks, half-and-half, and melted butter, and beat until combined. Finally, add the vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger, if using, and beat until incorporated.
Pour the filling into the warm prepared pie crust and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set. Place the pie on a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Cut into slices and top each piece with a generous amount of whipped cream.
What size can of pumpkin?
By Jenna on December 09, 2013
I love the cake that you made from a glass jar layer pumpkin and cake.
By doreen on November 28, 2013
Incredible pie! For those who had problems, I am thinking, they didn't follow the recipe or their oven temperature is off. This is the best pumpkin pie I have ever baked. Paula you nailed it, again! No surprise there.
By P OHara on November 28, 2013
I follow it exactly...only 2 cups of pumpkin. But i still have some leftover for a smaller pie. It's still fantastic- i do bake it for 60-65 minutes.

I use this recipe every year. One year my son's friend came for thanksgiving dinner. When the pie was served everyone was commenting on how delishes it was. Well, my son's friend commented "Mrs Keller this is better than sex." After a brief silence everyone broke into laughter. Truly the best pumpkin pie recipe ever. Thanks Paula.

I have several pieces of your cookware but can't find any of the other pieces. I live in a rural part of Cochise Arizona and there are no stores around here that carry your products. I sure wish there were, as I would love to get your full cookware set. I sure wish that you would be back on TV. Love your recipes. I have just sat here for the last 2 hours coping a lot of your recipes. They are great. Please keep sending them out as I look forward to them and to the ones on your magazine. Love Ya Beth Russell

For the below comments, reread the recipe... It says 2 CUPS of canned pumpkin. Not 2 cans. Gonna make this for Thanksgiving. Sounds delicious.
By Kristia on October 03, 2013

By Martin C. on September 30, 2013
Best pie I've ever made, thank you Paula, can"t wait to make it again for Thanksgiving!:) P.S. I read a few reviews, and I'm thinking maybe some folks are using two CANS of the pumpkin, not two CUPS, I know I've misread my fair share of recipes!

Halogenated graphene may replace expensive platinum in fuel cells
The research team of Profs. Jong-Beam Baek and Noejung Park of UNIST, and Prof. Liming Dai of Case Western Reserve University, for the first time, reportedly synthesized a series of edge-selectively halogenated (Cl, Br and I) graphene nanoplatelets (XGnPs) by ball-milling graphite flake in the presence of chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), or iodine (I2), respectively.
The newly prepared XGnPs as metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) stand as a possible replacement for platinum (Pt), which is currently the most reliable material for cathodic ORR electrocatalysts in fuel cells.

We've all heard the old saw, "You can't fight City Hall".
Therefore, a local citizen's group wants to shut up City Hall.
Citizens for Integrity in City Government is launching a petition drive to keep Sioux Falls officials and employees from engaging the public on ballot issues.
Specifically, this group is pointing to the Spellerberg Pool issue. The city recently released drawings of an indoor aquatics center at Spellerberg Park, as well as a new outdoor facility.
Voters will decide in April whether to build a new outdoor pool at Spellerberg. However, the city says Spellerberg is the perfect location for a new indoor aquatics center.
The release of the drawings has inflamed members of Citizens for Integrity in City Government, who are now crying foul.
Group member Bruce Danielson said at the news conference, "What are they educating us on? Things that aren't even on the ballot."
I'm going to be kind and say that, in my view, Danielson's comment is a lie of ommission. I'd like to call it a bald faced lie, but I'm too polite.
Danielson apparently doesn't want you to know that the only reason Spellberg pool is on the ballot is because the neighborhood rejected the city's plan for an indoor pool there.
Instead of engaging the city in debate on the future of the pool, some residents immediately began circulating petitions to put an outdoor pool to a vote. Now they apparently want to hide the fact that an indoor pool is even under consideration for Spellerberg Park.
So it is disingenuous, at best, to say that an indoor pool is not a consideration.
In an effort to show why city officials shouldn't participate in informational campaigns, Danielson's comments illustrate why its imperative they do.
The automatic assumption is that City Hall can't be trusted. However, city officials don't have any monopoly on deceit. I've heard plenty of distortions and whoppers from citizen's groups over the years. I'm not finding fault with these groups, but they are usually motivated by their own interests.
It seems to me that Citizens for Integrity in City Government is most interested in a one-sided conversation, not an informed citizenry.
Residents deserve to hear as many facts and viewpoints as possible. Let them hear from everyone, pro and con, with an opinion to share or story to tell on the future of Spellerberg Park. That includes city employees, as well as elected city officials. Let's arm voters with plenty of information.
Sure, voters don't need Mayor Mike Huether telling them what to think.
But they don't need Bruce Danielson telling them what to think, either.
They're smart enough to listen to the debate, weigh the facts and make up their own minds.
Greg Belfrage is heard mornings 6am-9am on KELO Newstalk 1320 AM / 107.9 FM. Greg can be contacted at email@example.com. Please follow him on Twitter.

Revised: 03/01/2012
|CMP 308-28: Payroll Expense Transfers
To define the procedure for transferring payroll expenses in the Advantage Financial System
University Policy
In the previous version of the university payroll system, corrections to payroll expenses were made within the PeopleSoft 5.12 system. With the implementation of the new payroll system, it is now necessary to make corrections directly to the University financial system, Advantage. The Payroll Expense Transfer Form is designed to make those correction transfers. The form is to be used only to transfer salary/wage and ERE expenditures between Dept/Units when a retroactive correction is necessary. Expenses that have already been posted to Advantage will be corrected with this form. Any changes to future payroll expense distributions will be processed through the Budget Office using the ePAR process..
Obtain a Payroll Expense form. This form can be obtained here.
1) Fill in the header information (date, box number and phone number)
2) Fill in the pay period for which you are transferring the funds. You may transfer for multiple pay periods in one transaction. Fill in the pay period end date OR the beginning and ending date for the periods you want to transfer.
3) Fill in the information on the accounting lines for each Dept/Unit that you wish to debit. This includes the Dept/Unit, the total amount to transfer and the Employee ID of the person for whom you are transferring expenses. Salary and ERE should be entered in separate lines. There is a list of the relevant payroll object codes at the bottom of this form.
4) Enter the same information in item (3) for the Dept/Unit that you wish to credit.
5) Obtain the Orgn Manager(s) signature on the form.
6) Enter the Purpose for the transfer.
7) Forward the form to Financial Accounting Services Box 4080 for verification and input into the Advantage System. If you are transferring expenses related to a grant, forward the completed form to Sponsored Projects at Box 4070.

What other readers are saying about this title:
Laura P. said:
This book basically seems to be a send up of federal laws, agents and judges. A (supposedly innocent) small town lawyer incarcerated under Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) hatches an elaborate plot to get out of jail, steal a huge amount of money and move out of the country to a life of ease with his beautiful girlfriend with her help and the help of rich, criminal friends. Along the way he catches a killer and outwits bumbling federal agents. Though once in a while the main characters sweat or gets scared, in typical Grisham fashion the book is all plot with no character development. The book has a clever plot but has the feel of a story written in a week. I was also annoyed by the author's tendency to switch between first and third person narrative with no explanation.

Boo! I give it 1.5/5 stars. Formula Grisham, of late, with little character development and a complex plot with questionable morality that only a true "Racketeer" could love. Hang on the edge of your seat while reading how the main character spends his mornings in numerous motels while making the FBI look like a bunch of knuckleheads. Not even the sex scenes are worth the time! It's sad to contemplate that this is the same author who captivated us with "A Time To Kill" and "The Firm."

I just wanted to share a few character concepts I did recently. I did these to practice designing and rendering humanoid characters in armored suits. I am looking to break into the concept art industry, so any feedback would be much appreciated.
I have also posted a portfolio thread in the portfolio review section (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=223062).
Thank you,

great use of texture and color. It seems to have created a sophisticated mood.
#2 is very elegant. Great shapes and flow. #1 looks nice as an illustration/graphic design; not sure how well it works as a character design concept, simply because it's quite undefined.
Hi, thanks for your comments!
Benjaminba -- Someone in my portfolio thread commented on fleshing out stuff more as well. I will really try to do that in every concept-oriented piece from here on. Really valuable feedback.
Thanks Dahami!

Thanks guys, I'm really amazed with the response so far!
Vay - First piece is done in Photoshop, the subsequent pieces are Painter. I recently switched to Photoshop after 5 years of Painter, and I'm glad I did. It's a more powerful overall package with much more usable transformation and vector tools. Coming from a graphic design background with heavy photoshop use, I've been waiting to switch to it for painting as soon as real-time canvas rotation (to save my wrist from RSI) and quick brush resizing became available.

The graphical look and the designs of your armored characters are very dynamic. I wish you the best to for working in the industry.
Guys, thank you so much once again for your comments. I really appreciate each one of them. They inspire me to do better.
Really nice! XD It's really cool to see that you bounce back and forth between digital tools and get the same results. Really interesting. XD
Really great work, I love your brush stoke, it's very elegant and very speed. The girl with the curve the light, the composition and the blue touch very powerful strengthen the power of the image, it's very graphic, I love this one !
The car sketch (the dark four-wheel drive) is really great and one more time rellay powerful and show a big mastery technic.

Friday Night Vatican Museums Tour Including Sistine Chapel
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Friday Night Vatican Museums Tour Including Sistine Chapel. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
We only had a few days to see Rome and this fit our schedule perfectly. We arrived from the US in the AM and after a nap we had a nice supper out and then took this tour. Our guide was wonderful. She was very informative. I learned so much about the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. I have toured these before but this was so much better. The only thing I would have liked would have been if the price of the ticket would have been included in the price for the Viator tour.
Although we took the Friday Night tour it was extremely crowded. Our guide was phenomenal. She made sure we saw all there was to see.
The tour guide had PHD! Vatican at night is charming, a totally different experience. The tour was around 3 hours and the best thing about it is that it is not as crowded as the morning, so you can enjoy it at your own pace and hear the tour guide clearly.
It was a wonderful tour! We had a very knowledgeable tour guide who was very enthusiastic. We enjoyed this tour immensely!, It was not that crowded at night and we got to skip the line with our guide.
This was absolutely terrific. There were no crowds, our tour guide was a delight and extremely knowledgeable. The tour at night was magical. All six of us loved it. We all would highly recommend it.
The tour was great! I did not know there was other stuff besides the Sistine Chapel to see at the Vatican. I did tour the Vatican 2 years ago but only toured the Cathedral. This was a very good tour.
Wonderful...very nice! Loved it! Meeting at the office was a relief as other times there is difficulty finding your guides. Guide was very knowledgable and so friendly!
The tour guide was great. She was extremely knowledgeable and very nice. I believe she even stayed longer than her allotted time, which was over the 4 hour limit. She was very passionate about the art and engaged us with the moment of being near these rare and ancient art pieces. The night tour was smooth and free of large crowds. It's my understanding that during the day, the crowds are grueling. This tour is very long but full of information regarding all the art pieces in the museum. Thanks for a great tour.
I highly recommend this tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about the subject matter surrounding the museum, especially Sistine chapel ceiling paintings and Michelangelo. This tour was longer than I thought it would be as there is so much to see in the museum well worth the money.
It was awesome seeing the Vatican at night! I'm sure it wasn't as crowded either. I am so happy I did this one.
Lovely tour and a very good guide. Loved the fact that the museums were a lot less crowded and the guide was really good, passionate about her job, and it showed. I can highly recommend this tour!
Very good
Very good tour with a thorough description of the numerous pieces of art. Quite enjoyable.
The guide was amazing, she knew everything on her fingertips. It was money very well spent. My 12-year-old daughter was also amazed by the tour. If you book only one guided tour in Rome; I highly recommend this one.
this museum is so extensive and diversified it is a must see. AT night the crowds are less and you can enjoy the visit

Pampa, TX - The city of Pampa is set to receive a welcome windfall that's been a long time in the making.
Earlier this afternoon (Jan. 18), city officials from Pampa broke ground on an upcoming expansion that will re-open the Celanese plant as early as next spring. And that means new jobs and new revenue are on the way.
The Celanese plant was one of Pampa's major employers until it shut down in 2009, contributing to an economic downturn for the city. Now after lying dormant for three years, the plant is slated to open its doors once again.
Pampa Fuels and another company called G2X will re-purpose the plant as a methanol production facility. The plant is expected to create 146 jobs and millions in economic activity for Pampa, and city officials say their community stands to gain not just new income, but also new people.
City Manager Richard Morris says the incoming population is as welcome as the jobs themselves, saying, "When you look at those jobs, there's probably going to be family involved, so you've got another three or four members, plus all the support people that are going to be bringing the product in and taking the product out; it's just going to be a real boon to our community."
Methanol is a widely used and heavily traded chemical that's used in manufacturing, fuel processing, wastewater treatment, and hydraulic fracturing. And the viability of methanol as a commodity means the plant will most likely always be in business, meaning it will be full of Pampa residents rather than itinerant workers.
"Instead of just coming in and out, we would have people that would not only be active in our community, but also children in our school system," says Morris."And so we're excited about that too."
Construction has already begun and is scheduled to begin operations in May of 2014.
If you'd like to learn more about Pampa Fuels and G2X, or about methanol itself, follow the links attached to this story.
