					<description><![CDATA[A great prophet of the 21st Century once said, (and I paraphrase), &quot;Even if I see the seat of Peter sinking in the abyss, I will hold on to it, because Christ established it.&quot; 

I echo the same sentiment because the Papacy belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Popes will come and go, but the Catholic Church will last to the end of times, because Jesus said so. 

By God&#039;s grace through Mary, I will be Catholic for Christ- now and forever. 

Salve Maria!]]></description>

The Pontiff could have decided on some other ways to &#039;Diffuse&#039; that seething Rage and not trivialize Christ&#039;s strongest declaration,  , “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.&quot;

Sad times indeed Oscar whatever many faithful Catholics would do to support the new tenets coming from our Vicar of Christ.  All those cardinals, Bishops and clergy cannot all be wrong in seeing these  doublespeaks.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[From the ankle of  Catholic faith things started to drift away not from 13-3-2013 when the present incumbent raised to papacy. It started way back from 1965. 

Over the years  the drift was slow but steady ...... The  drift was unnoticeable  and now  drift is very clearly visible  ..... Almost reached to the point that Jesus Christ is not &quot;God and Saviour&quot;!

All religions are ways to arrive at &quot;God&quot; is one of the last nails to the coffin of Catholic  Faith officially!

When I said the drift was started in 1965 you may sometimes wonder that it is not so .... You may please refer para 841 of CCC where you can see muslims together with us adore the one, merciful God, mankind&#039;s Judge on the last day.....

This is against what is written in the  Word of God. According to  John 10:30 Jesus and father is one and according to 1 John 2:23 No one who denies the Son has the Father...... 

Then how can the above Words of God go along with Para 841 of CCC when muslim consider accepting Jesus as  God is &quot;Blasphemy&quot; as per their faith? 

In Youth Catechism (YCAT) also it is written that muslim religion (Came to existence only in 7th century) has co brother relation to Christianity.

The drift was started years back and now we see more ugly face of the drift when we hear all religions are ways to arrive  at  God from the present Pope ....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A far off cry from what Pope Paul VI Exhorted the Church in His time: Extracts *Evangelii-Nuntiandi*

…. There is no doubt that the effort to proclaim the Gospel to the people of today, who are buoyed up by hope but at the same time often oppressed by fear and distress, is a service rendered to the Christian community and also to the whole of humanity.

For this reason the duty of confirming the brethren -which is for us a *”daily preoccupation,”*
…a program of life and action, and *a fundamental commitment*

….*It is the duty incumbent on her* by the command of the Lord Jesus, so that people can believe and be saved. This message is indeed necessary. It is unique.

*It cannot be replaced. It does not permit either indifference, syncretism or accommodation.*

…. and to *sacrifice for it, if necessary, his own life.*

...it is a duty that has been laid on me; *I should be punished if I did not preach it*

*Above all the Gospel must be proclaimed by witness.*

Through this *wordless witness* these Christians stir up irresistible questions in the hearts of those who see how they live: Why are they like this? Why do they live in this way? What or who is it that inspires them? Why are they in our midst? 

*Such a witness is already a silent proclamation of the Good News* and a very powerful and effective one. 

*NEVERTHELESS THE MOST IMPORTANT EXHORTATION*  Evangeli Nuntiandi is 

22. *Nevertheless this always remains insufficient, because even the finest witness will prove ineffective in the long run if it is not explained, justified* -

&quot;your answer ready for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you all have&quot;[52] 

 *…made explicit by a clear and unequivocal proclamation of the Lord Jesus.* 

The Good News proclaimed by the witness of life *sooner or later has to be proclaimed by the word of life.*

 *There is no true evangelization - if the name, the teaching, the life, the promises, the kingdom* 
and the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God are not proclaimed*]]></description>
