My Sister Is Actually Thinking About Converting To Catholicism....

In the words of Link from Hyrule to the casual gamers, "Really, [Michelle]?" In all seriousness, though (besides "Really, Michelle?"), Michelle may want to search up on Roman Catholicism on Google, my blog, etc.. Besides, the only reason that my dad and his family is or was Catholic is because they were or are Anusim Katolim-- they weren't really Catholic--; and now my sister wants to become a Katolit-- an Evangelical Catholic, but a Catholic! Oy vey!

Part of the reason she wants to convert-- to observe Lent without feeling pressured as a Protestant to not observe Lent. She may as well convert back to English-American Catholicism-- Episcopalianism-- if she's going to convert. But to remain just a plain old Jewish Protestant would be better for her-- and Protestants, Jewish and gentile, observe Lent all the time; whether or not they've never been Catholics or they are Ex Catholics.

Rick Santorum Is Clearly An Anti Semite And Non-Evangelical Catholic

There's evidence that Priscilla and Aquila had no childrenWant more evidenceThey were busy tent-making and running a house church. They had no time to have children. Yet Rick Santorum would criticize Priscilla and Aquila, two Yehudim Tzadikim who clearly practiced some form of birth control. Meanwhile, Rick Santorum-- in a speech at Florida's Ave Maria University-- said that mainline Protestants (and by mainline Protestants, he means Evangelicals-- remember "excuse me-- 'Reformation'"? Rick Santorum said that Protestants) are not Christians and that Satan is going after the United States like no other nation. Rick Santorum deliberately forgets that not only do Protestants support Israel, but that Israel are the chosen people-- we Jews are attacked both generally by our own (Antimissionaries, including Self-Hating Jews-- who obviously have no interest in 'Am Yisra'el or Yeshua) and by gentiles (not all gentiles, but obviously the Anti-Israel gentiles).

As a Jew, I Probably Shouldn't Be Viewing "Incorruptable" Corpses, But...

However, one looks like and probably is the body of Rudy Giuliani's cousin. I had to show my sister Veronica Giuiliani's body (or wax-or-something-covered skeleton). Anyway, you can see part of why I'm not Roman Catholic, though.

Mormons Can't Be Evangelical? Let's Compare Mitt Romney To Rick Santorum, For Example...

This blogger (me) way prefers Mormon Mitt Romney over Anti-Reformation, Non-Evangelical CatholicRick Santorum. Seriously; Barack Obama scares me less than Rick Santorum-- at least we (so to speak) have Obama's number. Also, there's more proof that Mitt Romney's an Evangelical Mormon by his actions and way of handling himself than I've seen with (no duh) Santorum (who's obviously not Evangelical), Newt Gingrich (The man cheated on two ailing wives and converted from a fairly Evangelical denomination to Catholicism.), and Ron Paul (who is a known racist and Anti Semite). The Fruits of the Spirit have been and are quite evident in Mitt Romney where they are not in the other three.

Non-Evangelical Catholicism Even Inadvertently Admits That It's Not Christianity

Google "Catholicism and fundamentalism". For example, the Catholics admit that they don't believe in the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible, and that do so is "fundamentalist" in a derogatory sense according to Catholicism. The Catholics even criticize Evangelical Catholics:

"Fundamentalism is a relatively new brand of Protestantism started in America that has attracted a tremendous following, including many fallen away Catholics. How did this popular movement originate? The history of Fundamentalism may be viewed as having three main phases. The first lasted a generation, from the 1890s to the Scopes "Monkey Trial" of 1925. In this period, Fundamentalism emerged as a reaction to liberalizing trends in American Protestantism; it broke off, but never completely, from Evangelicalism, of which it may be considered one wing. In its second phase, it passed from public view, but never actually disappeared or even lost ground. Finally, Fundamentalism came to the nation’s attention again around 1970, and it has enjoyed considerable growth. 
"What has been particularly surprising is that Catholics seem to constitute a disproportionate share of the new recruits. The Catholic Church in America includes about a quarter of the country’s inhabitants, so one might expect about a quarter of new Fundamentalists to have been Catholics at one time. But in many Fundamentalist congregations, anywhere from one-third to one-half of the members once belonged to the Catholic Church. This varies around the country, depending on how large the native Catholic population is."

Many of these Evangelical Catholics are Protestants who are Evangelical (Christian) and still Catholic at heart, just Evangelical Catholics and Protestants who would be still Catholic if the Catholic Church were Evangelical.  Evangelical Catholics do not like the following criticized by the Catholic Church:

The fundamental doctrines identified in the series can be reduced to five: (I) the inspiration and what the writers call infallibility of Scripture, (2) the deity of Christ (including his virgin birth), (3) the substitutionary atonement of his death, (4) his literal resurrection from the dead, and (5) his literal return at the Second Coming. 

Catholics particularly hate the following:

"Although the doctrine of the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible is most commonly cited as the essential cornerstone of the Fundamentalist beliefs, the logically prior doctrine is the deity of Christ. For the Catholic, his deity is accepted either on the word of the authoritative and infallible Church or because a dispassionate examination of the Bible and early Christian history shows that he must have been just what he claimed to be—God. 
"Most Catholics, as a practical matter, accept his divinity based upon the former method; many—the apologist Arnold Lunn is a good example—use the latter. In either case, there is a certain reasoning involved in the Catholic’s embrace of this teaching. For many Fundamentalists, the assurance of Christ’s divinity comes not through reason, or even through faith in the Catholic meaning of the word, but through an inner, personal experience."

In other words, Catholics have to lie about what Protestants and Evangelical Catholics believe. Protestants and Evangelical Catholics believe in grace through faith alone, and vice versa, based on what the Bible says. Protestants and Evangelical Catholics do not believe in a New Age "inner, personal experience". And the experience is not personal-- for "there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one." 
There is nothing personal in salvation-- one must answer to and be saved by the Spirit. Salvation is not a choice, but an election and calling which all the members of Eloheinu Echad choose to confer on someone-- and thus the saved have no individual choice and are held accountable in regards to salvation:
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses,“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”[f] 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. 
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 
22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 

The blood, by the way, is the witness of and for particularly Jesus; and the water of baptism, and of particularly the Father and the Spirit-- maybe just particularly the Father, though (which is a long discussion).

E. Michael Jones Has Ulterior Motives and No Authority To Speak on Modern Judaism or Catholicism

Besides, E. Michael Jones Wikipedia all the fodder that they needed. Firstly, E. Michael Jones is an Anti Semite ad has no authority to speak on Modern Judaism, covering his Anti Semitism with the following:


"Jones has stated publicly that he considers modern Judaism to be a wicked ideology, but that he condemns criticism of Jews based upon race.[3] In February, 2008, due to a complaint of anti-Semitism from the Southern Poverty Law Center, the School of Architecture at The Catholic University of America cancelled a lecture series in which Jones was scheduled to speak. In an interview with The Washington Times Jones said that he rejected racism in all of its forms, consistent with Catholic teaching[2] and responded to the cancellation in an article in Culture Wars.[4]"


While Modern Non-Messianic Judaism is-- unintentionally and intentionally-- indeed wicked, E. Michael Jones

is not a Jew and thus his little to no authority to speak on the issue of Judaism. Whatever authority he did have,

he dashed along with his credibility by coming from a Non-Evangelical Catholic angle. As I have blogged,

Non-Evangelical Catholicism (Roman, Byzantine, and otherwise) is Pseudo-Christian, Anti-Semitic

wickedness.  


Myself being born into an Anusi (Roman and Byzantine Catholic) and Roman Catholic family, baptized

Anusit 
and Roman Catholic (since  my dad was English Catholic-- Episcopalian-- and is still not open about

his Jewish heritage; and my mom had my sister and me baptized by a Roman Catholic priest who was a

friend of her late Evangelical Catholic, getting-ready-to-leave-Catholicism-when-he-died dad), and raised

Anusit
and Episcopalian (and not knowing that I'm Jewish until I was 18); I have more authority to speak on

the issue of both than does E. Michael Jones. As far as I know, Ex-Professor Jones has never pointed to

'Amos
5:21-27 to prove how Modern Non-Messianic Jews both inadvertently and deliberately worship

Sikkut v'Kiyun
.


In fact, given how little Catholic are encouraged to read the Bible, especially the first three books of Tanakh
(and the fourth, Hadashah, being so muddied up by Non-Evangelical Catholicism over the years to do

awful works against Yeshua and Paul's own people); E. Michael Jones probably couldn't tell you where

'Amos
is located in Tanakh-- whether in the traditional Jewish (including Messianic Jewish) or the traditional

Christian order.


Also, if E. Michael Jones really knew Catholicism for what Catholicism is, he wouldn't have had the

following views on it:

"Jones then obtained his Ph.D. from Temple University and began to teach at Saint Mary's College, of Notre Dame, Indiana. To Jones' displeasure, he found this college to be what he considered to be (in the words of Michael W. Cuneo who interviewed him) "the antithesis of what a Catholic college should be", being pro-choicefeminist and secular. He made little effort to conceal his views, leading to conflicts with many faculty, his department chairwoman and eventually the college's president. His department, which viewed him as a religious absolutist, decided against renewing his contract after his first year.[1]"


Jones needs to wake up and smell Catholicism for what it is. He obviously didn't learn from St. Mary's or

Catholic University of America. Perhaps he'd like to go to then-College, now-University of Notre Dame

Maryland and look over the whole history of Catholicism and how Evangelical Catholicism (and Evangelical

Catholics such as Jan Hus, John Wycliffe, Teresa De Avila, Edith Stein, and Abraham Sh'mu'eloff) were all

treated (the first two victims of being murdered for "heresy", the third having her Jewishness and the fact that

her family was victim to the Catholic-started Inquisition almost even ignored by the Catholic Church, Edith

Stein being murdered by self-proclaimed "Christian" Catholic and Lutheran Nazis-- and the Catholic Church

doing nothing to save Edith Stein, one of their own--, and Sh'mu'eloff having his Jewishness ignored by the

Catholic Church when Sh'mu'eloff was a Roman, English, and Byzantine Catholic throughout his lifetime.

Only Evangelical-- including Jewish-- Catholic and other Evangelical, and other sources bring up that

Sh'mu'eloff was even proud of his Jewish heritage and rebuked that many Sabra'im and 'olim would not

speak Lashon Ivrit).

My Mom Jokes That I Ought To Become Catholic...

Yeah; I've been down that road before. I was baptized Roman Catholic, raised English Catholic (Episcopalian), went to a Roman Catholic college that.... I'd better stop before I talk about a certain church to which it could be paralleled. I also still have Anusi Catholic and Non-Catholic (and openly-Jewish and Non-Jewish Catholic) family members. So, I get the gist of being Catholic, and I'm far from becoming Catholic any time soon.


That doesn't mean that I don't think that there are Evangelical Catholics, though-- my cousin Sue is an Evangelical Catholic. My maternal grandma, as far as I know, is an Evangelical Catholic. My late, seminary-educated granddad was an Evangelical Catholic and actually getting ready to leave the Roman Catholic Church before he died; and his sister Margaret studied the Bible quite a bit if not every day (Her GNT version has markings in it, bookmarks and other placeholders, etc.). There are other Evangelical Catholics; but being Catholic, even an Evangelical Catholic, is not for me. In order to be considered a good Catholic and not a "fundamentalist", one has to:



  • Disbelieve the inerrancy of the Word of G-d. I keep coming back to Reform Judaism and Amy Scheinerman on this because Reform Judaism is the Catholicism of Judaism in many senses:
"Reform Jews, however, understand the texts to have been written by human beings -- our ancestors. In my personal opinion, the texts are certainly divinely inspired and reflect our ancestors' best understanding of God and their covenant with God, as well as their view of God's will, but that is not the same as being divinely-authored. Hence, Reform Jews read the texts through the spectacles not only of a religious person, but those of the scholar as well. Some institutions are considered to be a product of the cultural milieu and societal norms of the ancient Near East when the Hebrew Scriptures were written down, and do not speak to our lives today." 

Take those words and Catholicize them, and you'll have stolen them right from the mouths of "Doctor" Lyle Weiss, Marcus J. Borg, Sisters Sharon Kanis and Eileen Eppig, etc.. "Dr." Weiss once said that the Bible is (or at least he said something like) "Man's experiencing G-d... with some nuances." 

A good Catholic also has to:
  • Be Anti Death Penalty.
  • Be Democrat or Socialist (Look at how Speaker John Boehener was excoriated for being a Republican by Catholic universities.).
  • Believe in transubstantiation.
  • Allow that priests, nuns, and other clergy not marry.
  • Believe in Miryam bat-Eli as the daughter of a Joachim and Anna who stayed a Virgin after Jesus was born, and that Miryam is the Queen of Heaven who can intercede for us just because she gave birth to Yeshua; regardless of what Scripture says.
  • At least observe Christmas and Easter if not also the Feast Days, Days of Solemnity, Sunday mass, etc.
  • Go through baptism, confirmation, etc. if he or she can.
  • Go to Pre Confirmation and Confirmation Preparation classes.
  • Go to Sunday school and even Catholic school if he or she can.
  • Pray the rosary at least once in his or her lifetime.
  • Believe that he or she can lose his or her salvation by doing a bad work and has to get it back by confession and penance.
The list goes on, but the point is that being a Non-Evangelical (Non-"Fundamentalist"), good-enough Catholic entails being a "good enough" person and doing works that are good within the context of Catholic thinking. Catholicism isn't about faith through grace alone, salvation through mercy alone, etc..

So no matter how much I joke or say that I'm going to Hell for doing something bad or seemingly bad, I won't be a Catholic.

Natalie Wood Wagner Was Jewish? And If So, Her Story's Not Much Different Than Mine...

She's been said to be Russian American and a Byzantine-Russian Catholic cross is on her grave:




I did wonder if she was Jewish myself, however-- Russians aren't typically brown-eyed brunettes. Also, we Jews are descended from some of the most-beautiful woman in the world-- e.g., Sarah, Rivkah, Rakha'el, and Le'ah. And (in my opinion), there's just something about Jewish beauty that no other ethnicity has-- which is why Great-Grandma Czarnecki was so beautiful for a Slovakian (No wonder that she was so beautiful: she was a Matrilineal Jew through Anna Trudniakova nee Monkaova.). And according to IMDB.com, "Though some people cite her mother as being French, her mother is Russian. The source of this misconception comes from the studio that Natalie worked at when she was a child -- people noticed her mother's accent and when asked if she was French, Maria replied: "Oh yes", a white lie that would contribute to this confusion."

Maria Zakharenkova Gurdinova also "claimed that the family was closely related to the Romanov dynasty." This story sounds all too familar to that of the Morgiewicz-Andrulewicz and Danilowicz-Chernetski son who was given the identity of the szlatcha-descended, Polish-Lithuanian Catholic known as Antoni Czarniecki-- and we all remember that Antoni Jan Julianowicz Czarniecki nee Chernetski was revealed to be a meshumad Yehudi who was forced to become Anusi because of the pogroms and Anti Semitism in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania-- and the rest of America (Remember that his parents and he were kicked out of Lipsk because of their Anusi conversion in Roman Catholicism-- which they obviously found out more palatable to pretend to be into than Byzantine-Russian Catholicism, the religion officially forced upon Russian-annexed Poland.).

So, Natalie Wood Wagner-- if she was a beautiful Ashkenazit Yehudit-- was a lot prettier, smarter, and more talented than those two Anti Semites commenting on my blog will ever be-- and how sad that Anti Semites let envy breed contempt instead of themselves do something with their own lives.

Update (2:54 PM EST): Well, check this: according to JewishGen.org:

If Jews Ran Hollywood, Hollywood Wouldn't Be As Secular or Anti Israel...

And the Jews that do have clout and power in Hollywood aren't Kara'i or-- toda el HaShem-- P'rushi haredi Jews at all. For example, my fashion designer cousin Marcela J. "Mia" Danilowicz, who may still be gaining prominence as a fashion designer if my boycott against her antithesis-of-humble and rude behavior doesn't work, is Non-Evangelical Roman Catholic, seriously doesn't care about our Jewish heritage anymore (if she ever did), and takes great pains to hide that she's even from our meshuge mispoche-- which is part of her arrogance (and anyone in our family who tries to look good in the world's eyes tries to hide that they're from that Rusnak, Fosko, Gaydos, Danilowicz, or other associated-with-me crazy family. And that's why Mia called me "fucking psycho"-- how dare that I'm actually honest that our family is imperfect).

As for other Jews who clout and hold power Hollywood-- e.g., Natalie Portman, Kirk Douglas, and Ben Stiller--, they're all very Democrat, secular (ranging from only-ethnically Jewish to P'rushi Masorti), and even Anti Jewish and Anti Missionary in some cases. For example, Natalie Portman voted for John Kerry, fornicated with her now- (who was someone else's) fiance Benjamin Millipied, and was livid with her dad for suggesting that anyone of her partners undergo brit milah:

"“A priority for me is definitely that I’d like to raise my kids Jewish, but the ultimate thing is to have someone who is a good person and who is a partner,” she said.

"Natalie was born in Israel, but her family moved to America when she was just three. Her father is still very much in touch with his Jewish roots, and apparently tries to encourage non-Jewish boyfriends like Gael to convert.
"“He always makes this stupid joke,” admitted Natalie. “He says, ‘It’s just a simple operation’.”"

As for examples of P'rushim Masortim, who-- like Reform Jews-- do not take Tanakh as the Word of G-d, one is Kirk Douglas. As the SCJFAQ section of Shamash.org states:

"Conservative Judaism hold that the laws of the Torah and Talmud are of divine origin, and thus mandates the following of Halakha (Jewish law). At the same time, the Conservative movement recognizes the human element in the Torah and Talmud, and accepts modern scholarship which shows that Jewish writings also show the influence of other cultures, and in general can be treated as historical documents."

There is no human element in Tanakh, Torah or otherwise-- Tanakh was written down davar l'davar by soferim who heard and listened to Ruach HaKodesh; and P'rushim Masortim like Kirk Douglas do not believe that. As for Talmud Bavli, Jews ranging from Natalie Portman to Kirk Douglas ascribe something to it-- unlike Kara'im and many Meshichim, who know that Talmud Bavli is an outright revisionist attempt to specifically break the mitzvah not to add or take from Tanakh.

Besides; Hollywood has many Non-Evangelical Catholics like Mel Gibson and Martin Scorsese, Atheists, and other gentiles (We include Jewish Catholics and Atheists, and other Jews in Natalie Portman, Kirk Douglas, and other Jews in Hollywood). So, trust that clout and power-- not Jews-- run Hollywood.

I Should Look Back At My Old Posts More And...

I should see who, how, what, and where I've been; and why I've been who, how, what, and where I've been. I see that quite a few people read my older posts, and maybe I should start rereading them-- reading them again for the first time (and not like Marcus Borg suggests doing with the Bible, either. I hope that every day, Dr. Weiss and others will remember and know that I've not forgotten that drek called Reading the Bible Again For the First Time).

By the way, Dr. Weiss; when you do affront the Word of G-d, you affront the Jewish people. And you and Sister Eileen, and the others, don't scare me one bit now that I look back. The more I've grown in understanding the Word of G-d, the more I've grown in understanding my Jewish heritage, or visa versa. I don't need your or the rest of Notre Dame's Anti Semitism to affirm or deny the Bible for me: in fact, the more that you deny the Bible, the more that students and former students like me will only affirm the Bible.

PS The only "ancient peasant rebellion"-- which the Exodus was not; and the only "ancient peasant rebellion"-- going on is the one in your hearts, the same one that your lowly and fallen fathers-- Adam and the Devil-- committed when they said that G-d's word was not his word and fell from their exalted places--Adam when he partook with Eve and fell from the glory which he had in the garden, and the Devil fallen from being the archangel known as Lucifer. "Those who are first will be last, and those who are last will be first"; so your doctorates in the Vatican and other degrees help youu not.

Speaking of Great-Grandma Czarnecki And En El Primero de Novembre de 2011...




Y en el Dia de Los Muertos 2011, I think of and remember Great-Grandma Czarnecki. I think of the woman who was my great-grandma and who I took for granted all those times that we visited her at Apartment 214, 10 E South Street in Wilkes Barre. I think of the woman whose history I never knew or took time to knew-- so she's Pop-Pop's mom, Great-Granddad's widow, the one who's Lithuanian (I assumed from what I was told.). I think of the woman whose life came to a cold, callous end in a hospital with its possessor's leg amputated and with a murder-malice-intenting son who committed Social Security in it.

I think of the good Jewish Evagelical Catholic mother and wife, aunt and sister, and daughter who I've learned so much about since she's been gone-- the daughter of a gentile Trudniak and Jewish Catholic Monkaova of Kacwin and Lapsze Nizne, Poland (both then in Slovakian Austria Hungary), the mother (and grandmother and great-grandmother) of Jews herself ("And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”"; "and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;"-- and if she didn't know, she'd at least be tickled to know that her seed and her mother's seed are also descendants of at least many of the nations of the earth); the wife, aunt, grandaunt, great-grandaunt, and otherwise a relative of a diverse Jewish family

(e.g., I don't think that she'd care anymore that her son Tony's wife is Irish-- she didn't like that Grandaunt Mary Ellen is Irish. Maybe she wanted, but just never said that she wanted, Granduncle Tony to marry a good Jewish girl-- particularly an Ashkenazic Jewish Catholic girl, Anusit or open about her Jewishness-- and not make the same mistake that she did and marry a meshugener, who would've been a meshugene in Granduncle Tony's case. V'chalilah when Pop-Pop married Grandma-- she did not like her. She even cut her out of a picture and replaced her with a Christmas tree.).

And looking back on all I've learned and all that I saw for myself, especially in a Jewish context; I see an elter-bubbie for whom I will pursue tzedek-- "Tzedek, tzedek, tirdof."-- and let her son learn that of all things that he's done, (so to speak) stepping all over his good Jewish Christian mama is one thing with which he will not get away.

I am a Monkaova Trudniak, no question.

How Jews Can Celebrate the Day of the Dead-- Exclusively-Shared Political Cartoon

This isn't what his grave looks like, by the way. It's just a Jewish-Hispanic representation. He was an Anusi Ashkenazi Yehudi who was born in the Diaspora in Tsuman, Ukraine (then Cuman, Wolyn, Ukraina, Rusia). His birth name is unknown, and his shem l'mikveh katoli was Antoni Jan Julianowicz Czerniecki (Czarniecki).

Why Bill O'Reilly Needs Fridays Off

Someone asked why Bill O'Reilly needed Fridays off. The question was finally answered by a debate that ended with this posting:

Well, maybe; but sometimes people stay home when they fast, especially with Bill O'Reilly's energy-draining schedule. My granddad, on the other hand, fasted but didn't stay home on Fridays; and had nine surviving kids to provide for. I'm sure that providing for nine born kids, as well as losing two, was only part of the stress that should've given him reason to stay home on Fridays.

My granddad had been pro-life, but for some reason didn't take care of his own. At least the "Culture Warrior" knows when to rest, unlike my granddad, who would've been eighty-six this year. But at least two girls in Heaven get to see their dad. Meanwhile, Bill O'Reilly is resting to, like you said, spend time with a family who'll get to see him for at least until he's how old my granddad would've been.


Bill O'Reilly does get to spend time with Maddie and Spencer. Yet, my mom and her eight surviving siblings- along with the loss of two siblings who would've been fifty- will have to see their dad again. But, maybe- as a further consolation- they get to see their dad with two girls that they've wanted to see as well.
