"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Eph. 5:11

This sexual aberration is not generated from the bottom up—that is only from unsuitable candidates—but from the top down—that is from the sexual behaviors of superiors, even bishops and cardinals."

Editor's note: A sweeping Vatican investigation of an international religious order — and the cult of personality built around its founder — has just begun in Rome. Five bishops are delving into the finances and internal dynamics of an organization suspected of influence peddling. Award-winning investigative reporter and author Jason Berry has tracked these events for years in a book he co-authored and a documentary he produced on events leading to the Pope's decision to investigate. In this exclusive report for GlobalPost, Berry breaks new ground on the Vatican investigation of the Legionaries of Christ, and the case against Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado, the founder.While the American Catholic Church has been publicly battered by two decades of priest sexual abuse scandals that erupted in the press and devastated church finances with hundreds of millions of dollars spent on compensating victims and legal fees, the Maciel scandal has gone largely unnoticed by most of the American press.

Satanic Clergy Cults?
Once the verdict had been handed down, the prosecutor, Dean Mandros, admitted that the case was said by experts to be a "classic textbook satanic cult killing". But . . to get a conviction, they downplayed that aspect. The details of the case, including the ritual aspects & reactions, are here"

2.The Catholic Golden Goblet, or Chalice. "It is this cup that the wine poured into it becomes the...literal blood of Christ. When a witch does a human sacrifice, after the victim's throat is sliced open, the spilled blood will be collected in a chalice, just as the Catholics do, except the witch's chalice holds the real thing."

By the blessed Spirit; who is called the ‘Spirit of grace,’ because he is the spring of all grace. Zech 12:20. Faith is the chief work which the Spirit of God works in a man’s heart. In making the world God did but speak a word, but in working faith he puts forth his arm. Luke 1:11. The Spirit’s working faith is called, ‘The exceeding greatness of God’s power.’ Eph 1:19. What a power was put forth in raising Christ from the grave when such a tombstone lay upon him as ‘the sins of all the world,! yet he was raised up by the Spirit. The same power is put forth by the Spirit of God in working faith. The Spirit irradiates the mind, and subdues the will. The will is like a garrison, which holds out against God: the Spirit with sweet violence conquers, or rather changes it; making the sinner willing to have Christ upon any terms; to be ruled by him as well as saved by him.
