Eunuchs For The Kingdom Of Heaven

 We live in a sex-saturated world. Television, movies, popular books, magazines, songs, advertisements and fashions all promote sex. Even the most perverse deviant behaviors are no longer taboo, but openly discussed, flaunted, and even glamorized. Prior to the Great Apostasy, the Roman Catholic Church stood apart from the cares of this world, most notably in Her promotion of consecrated virginity and celibacy. Priests, brothers, monks, and nuns all gave up marriage and family in imitation of Our Lord, in complete dedication to the things of God. Members of the Vatican II sect blame celibacy, instead of homosexuality, for their clerical sex abuse scandals.

Last week, Jorge Bergoglio ("Pope" Francis), "cracked open the door to ordaining married, elderly men to the priesthood to meet the pastoral needs of Catholics in remote areas of the Amazon." (See https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/17/world/europe/vatican-priests-married-men.html). While the Argentinian apostate seems to favor celibacy, the fact remains that his "predecessor" he "canonized"---John Paul the Great Apostate--taught heretical doctrine regarding celibacy and virginity. Make no mistake, the Vatican II sect is out to slowly have married clergy like the Protestants, and deal another blow to consecrated celibacy/virginity, which gives witness to the things of God.

This post will explore Church teaching on consecrated virginity and celibacy, and expose the forces of Hell which hate it so much.

Church Teaching

 While recognizing the innate goodness and necessity of Holy Matrimony (raised to the dignity of a sacrament by Our Lord Jesus Christ), it is a defined dogma that virginity and celibacy are superior to matrimony. The Council of Trent, Session 24, in its decree regarding Holy Matrimony, infallibly pronounced:

CANON X.-If any one saith, that the marriage state is to be placed above the state of virginity, or of celibacy, and that it is not better and more blessed to remain in virginity, or in celibacy, than to be united in matrimony; let him be anathema.

In his 1954 encyclical Sacra Virginitas, Pope Pius XII teaches:

It is first and foremost for the foregoing reasons that, according to the teaching of the Church, holy virginity surpasses marriage in excellence. Our Divine Redeemer had already given it to His disciples as a counsel for a more perfect life. St. Paul, after having said that the father who gives his daughter in marriage "does well," adds immediately "and he that gives her not, does better."Several times in the course of his comparison between marriage and virginity the Apostle reveals his mind, and especially in these words: "for I would that all men were even as myself. . . But I say to the unmarried and to widows: it is good for them if they so continue, even as I."Virginity is preferable to marriage then, as We have said, above all else because it has a higher aim: that is to say, it is a very efficacious means for devoting oneself wholly to the service of God, while the heart of married persons will remain more or less "divided." (para #24; Emphasis mine)

In regard to the clergy, it makes sense that those who choose to dedicate themselves completely to Christ should also emulate His absolute purity.The Catholic Encyclopedia (1913) has this to say:

Although we do not find in the New Testament any indication of celibacy being made compulsory either upon the Apostles or those whom they ordained, we have ample warrant in the language of Our Savior, and of St. Paul for looking upon virginity as the higher call, and by inference, as the condition befitting those who are set apart for the work of the ministry. In Matthew 19:12, Christ clearly commends those who, "for the sake of the kingdom of God", have held aloof from the married state, though He adds: "he who can accept it, let him accept it". St. Paul is even more explicit:

I would that all men were even as myself; but every one hath his proper gift from God .... But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they so continue, even as I.

And further on:

But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God. But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided. And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of this world how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your profit, not to cast a snare upon you, but for that which is decent and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord without impediment. (1 Corinthians 7:7-8 and 32-35)

Further, although we grant that the motive here appealed to is in some measure utilitarian, we shall probably be justified in saying that the principle which underlies the Church's action in enforcing celibacy is not limited to this utilitarian aspect but goes even deeper. From the earliest period the Church was personified and conceived of by her disciples as the Virgin Bride and as the pure Body of Christ, or again as the Virgin Mother (parthenos meter), and it was plainly fitting that this virgin Church should be served by a virgin priesthood. Among Jews and pagans the priesthood was hereditary. Its functions and powers were transmitted by natural generation. But in the Church of Christ, as an antithesis to this, the priestly character was imparted by the Holy Ghost in the Divinely-instituted Sacrament of Orders. Virginity is consequently the special prerogative of the Christian priesthood. Virginity and marriage both holy, but in different ways. The conviction that virginity possesses a higher sanctity and clearer spiritual intuitions, seems to be an instinct planted deep in the heart of man. Even in the Jewish Dispensation where the priest begot children to whom his functions descended, it was nevertheless enjoined that he should observe continence during the period in which he served in the Temple. No doubt a mystical reason of this kind does not appeal to all, but such considerations have always held a prominent place in the thought of the Fathers of the Church; as is seen, for example, in the admonition very commonly addressed to subdeacons of the Middle Ages at the time of their ordination. "With regard to them it has pleased our fathers that they who handle the sacred mysteries should observe the law of continence, as it is written 'be clean ye who handle the vessels of the Lord?' "(Maskell, Monumenta Ritualia, II, 242).---(See http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03481a.htm)

 In the above cited encyclical Pope Pius XII reminds all that the Latin Rite's celibate priesthood is superior to that of the Eastern Rites who allow men (already married) to become priests. The Holy Father wrote:

There is yet another reason why souls desirous of a total consecration to the service of God and neighbor embrace the state of virginity. It is, as the holy Fathers have abundantly illustrated, the numerous advantages for advancement in spiritual life which derive from a complete renouncement of all sexual pleasure. It is not to be thought that such pleasure, when it arises from lawful marriage, is reprehensible in itself; on the contrary, the chaste use of marriage is ennobled and sanctified by a special sacrament, as the Fathers themselves have clearly remarked. Nevertheless, it must be equally admitted that as a consequence of the fall of Adam the lower faculties of human nature are no longer obedient to right reason, and may involve man in dishonorable actions. As the Angelic Doctor has it, the use of marriage "keeps the soul from full abandon to the service of God."

It is that they may acquire this spiritual liberty of body and soul, and that they may be freed from temporal cares, that the Latin Church demands of her sacred ministers that they voluntarily oblige themselves to observe perfect chastity. And "if a similar law," as Our predecessor of immortal memory Pius XI declared, "does not bind the ministers of the Oriental Church to the same degree, nevertheless among them too ecclesiastical celibacy occupies a place of honor, and, in certain cases, especially when the higher grades of the hierarchy are in question, it is a necessary and obligatory condition. (op. cit. para. # 21 and 22; Emphasis mine)

The Heretical Teaching of John Paul the Great Apostate

In his Allocution to Spanish Delegations on April 14, 1982, Wojtyla said:

And now, as in previous weeks, we are going to continue our reflections upon the theme of continence for the Kingdom of Heaven. In the words of Christ we ought not to see a superior evaluation of virginity or celibacy with respect to matrimony. Continence and matrimony are two basic situations, two ‘states’ of life, which differ from one another and complement one another within the Christian community. It is precisely this which in its unity and in all of its members has an eschatological orientation and in this distinct tendency is realized for the Kingdom of Heaven... (Emphasis mine)

On that same day, in his General Audience, he stated:

In Christ’s words on continence ‘for the kingdom of heaven’ there is no reference to any ‘inferiority’ of marriage with regard to the ‘body’, or in other words, with regard to the essence of marriage, consisting in the fact that man and woman join together in marriage, thus becoming ‘one flesh’ (Genesis 2: 24: ‘The two will become one flesh’). Christ’s words recorded in Matthew 19: 11-12 (as also the words of Paul in his first Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 7) give no reason to assert the ‘inferiority’ of marriage, nor the ‘superiority’ of virginity or celibacy inasmuch as by their nature virginity and celibacy consist in abstinence from the conjugal ‘union in the body’. Christ’s words on this point are quite clear. He proposes to his disciples the ideal of continence and the call to it, not by reason of inferiority nor with prejudice against conjugal ‘union of the body’ but only ‘for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven (Emphasis mine) Virginity and celibacy are intrinsically superior states, as St. Paul reminds us, and Wojtyla rejects it. Everything is good only if done for the the sake of the Kingdom of God, including marriage. Virginity and celibacy are superior, and all Catholic tradition, including the dogmatic definition of Trent, cite to these two passages of the New Testament to prove the superiority of virginity by its very nature.

Nevertheless, Bergoglio had the trail blazed for him to undermine this Catholic dogma in the wake of Vatican II. Once the perverts came in the seminaries, decent men stayed out. With their clergy reduced to mere social workers, fewer men even wanted to "celebrate" the Novus Bogus bread and wine service. I was personal friends with the late, great Fr. Paul Wickens of New Jersey who left the Vatican II sect in 1989, and soon thereafter opened an independent Traditionalist Chapel. He was assisted by the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). Although he was sympathetic to sedevacantism, he remained in the "recognize and resist" camp until his death in 2004. He was a good priest who was trying to do what was right. 

In one of our conversations, he told me his brother was a former priest. After Vatican II, his apostate bishop made all the clergy attend many seminars in which celibacy was denigrated and marriage made the ideal. The bishop allowed his priests to apply for laicization ( a release from the clerical state, although the sacerdotal power remains forever, they give up all recognition and use of their priestly duties). His brother became depressed, "felt like less of a man" for not being married, and left via laicization (which the bishop pushed through the Modernist Vatican for "expedited approval"). Fr. Wickens said his brother married and had a large family (very pro-life), but felt that his true calling was the priesthood years later. This self-created clergy shortage by the Vatican II sect was the gateway to eventually having a married clergy (as well as priestesses), so as to advance the cause of ecumenism and a One World Religion.

The Strange Case of "Archbishop" Milingo

Emmanuel Milingo was born in Africa in 1930. He was validly ordained a priest in 1958, at the age of 28. Eleven years later Montini (Paul VI) "consecrated" him a "bishop" in the new and invalid rite of Holy Orders. Montini made him "Archbishop" of the Diocese of Lusaka. He was known for performing exorcisms at the drop of a hat. The True Church does not randomly go about performing exorcisms without the necessary investigation, which takes time to rule out non-supernatural causes.

Dabbling in such endeavors is dangerous. Wojtyla removed him as "Archbishop" as a result in 1983, and made him a "delegate" of the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Travelers. Milingo saw Satan in the Vatican II sect, but wrongly considered the sect as the Catholic Church. He teamed up with "Fr." Nicholas Gruner of the "Fatima Industry" claiming the hierarchy was doing Satan's work. Then in May of 2001, the almost 71-year-old somehow got deeply involved with the cult called the "Unification Church"--or the "Moonies," so called because they followed the teachings of Sun Myung Moon (d. 2012), a Korean man claiming to be the "Messiah." Milingo "married" a 43-year-old acupuncturist named Marie Sung in a "group wedding," comprising many couples getting "married" by Moon simultaneously. Sung was chosen by Moon himself for Milingo, and he only met her two days before the "wedding." (See https://zenit.org/articles/zambian-archbishop-marries-in-moon-wedding/).

In short, the teachings of the Unification "Church" are:

• The Bible is untrustworthy and Moon's book Divine Principle is to be followed as authoritative
• God is dualistic in Nature ("yin and yang")
• The crucifixion of Christ was an "alternative plan," and it only "partially saved" humanity. Moon is the Messiah to complete the plan, and all must seek salvation from the Unification Church
• The Trinity is an "invention of Jesus"
• The Holy Ghost is the female spirit (!) aspect of God

The cult sought respectability after multiple allegations of using brainwashing techniques on lonely people to get them to join. In an effort to rehabilitate their image, they own and operate several generally respected businesses, including the politically right-leaning newspaper The Washington Times. Milingo participated in mass-marriages organized by the sect in Japan in 1999, and in Korea in 2000, yet the Modernist Vatican never censured him. After his "wedding" he was told by "Cardinal" Ratzinger to leave Sung. Milingo said, "For 43 years as a celibate priest ... I only knew God as a male. Now, through my union with Maria, I have come to see the other side of God's heart, which is female." (See https://www.cesnur.org/2001/moon_july25.htm; Emphasis mine)

He briefly reconciled with Wojtyla, but then rejoined his "wife." He targeted celibacy. "Secret affairs and marriages, illegitimate children, rampant homosexuality, pedophilia and illicit sex have riddled the priesthood to the extent that the UN Commission on Human Rights has investigated the church for sexual abuse, and the western media is filled with stories of lawsuits and scandals surrounding the Church," Milingo said.(See http://www.wewillstand.org/media/20010808_9.htm).

Just like the Modernists, he is right about the scandals but wrong about the source; it is not celibacy but Vatican II. Milingo began an organization urging Vatican II sect "priests" to marry, calling it Married Priests (sic) Now! It still took until 2006, after he "consecrated" four so-called priests as "bishops" that he was "excommunicated" by Wojtyla, and in 2009, he was reduced to the lay state (he is no longer referred to or recognized as a member of their clergy--being called "Layman" Emmanuel Milingo. [See http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bmilingo.html]).

Now, at age 89, he has made many "bishops" all with the same desire--to end celibacy and draw "priests" into their movement. In 2010, he was pronounced "patriarch" of his own sect, "The Ecumenical Catholic Apostolic Church of Peace." (See https://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=7203).
I believe Milingo is being used by the very Satanic forces he denounces to promote the denigration of celibacy.

Consider:

• He is an apostate priest having broken his Anti-Modernist Oath, and was "consecrated" by Montini himself
• His so-called exorcisms were accused of being "indigenous"--using African pagan elements, which would attract, not repel, demons
• He met Moon through a doctor he went to for a knee problem, and the doctor was alleged to be using "Reiki healing" which is pagan 
• The Moon sect "Unification Church" has many occult practices that open one to demonic forces

The Unification cult (I don't hesitate to employ the appellation "cult" as it uses manipulation, deceit, etc. to get members to enter and prevent them from leaving), has direct occult connections. The Divine Principle itself supports occult practices. "Thus, the spirit men pour out spiritual fire on earthly men, give them the power to heal diseases, and help them do many mighty works. More than that, they enable earthly men to see many facts in the spirit world in a state of trance, give them the gift of prophecy, and inspire them spiritually. Through such activities, substituting for the Holy Spirit, they cooperate with earthly men to fulfill the will of God." (pg. 182; Emphasis mine). Further, Moon said, "If you are a clairvoyant...you should know whether your spirit guide is higher than you in spirit. If he is higher, it is all right. If he is not higher than you and you consult him, you lose…. They want to control you…. It is always dangerous, and you don’t gain anything, to be controlled by spirit. By understanding the Principle, you are in such a position that you can control and use and guide them." (See Unification publication, The Master Speaks, pg. 16)

Moon is clearly a medium. He has urged his followers to engage in mediumistic contacts as part of their "spiritual growth." This is in direct contradiction to Church teaching and Biblical warnings that tell us such activity is an abomination to God: "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord,…" (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Satan hates purity. Pope Siricius (334–399), described his opponent Jovinian as a tool of "the ancient enemy, the adversary of chastity, the teacher of luxury," because he had attacked the celibacy of the clergy.

Conclusion

The attack on clerical celibacy and virginity as a superior state to marriage, is yet another Satanic maelstrom, intended to bring the world farther from the truth and deeper into perversion. The man or woman who chooses virginity or celibacy for the Kingdom of God is doing the opposite of Satan; giving up what is natural for the supernatural love of God, in imitation of Christ and His Immaculate Mother. Satan gave up the supernatural life of grace to focus on his own wants--Non serviam--"I will not serve." Bergoglio is busy breaking down, slowly but surely, the celibacy of his sect's clergy, the theological basis of which was undermined by Wotyla's heretical ravings. He rejects the teaching of Our Lord, "For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven. He that can take, let him take it." (St. Matthew 19:12)
