Cacolatria: The Great Apostasy!

What Festival of Lights Do The Children of Darkness Celebrate?

Blasphemy after blasphemy, with the apostates federating with the pagans and anyone who dares to dissent and denounce these foul and obscene crimes is attacked as one intolerant. Well, I am one who is not ashamed to be called intolerant for defending the rights of God and of Christ Jesus against these impious, suppurating vermin...

The word "Catholic" comes from the Greek words Catha and Holos, meaning across or encompassing the whole. However, the word has both a direct and a derived Christian meaning.

In the direct meaning, Catholic means universal. However, it is the derived Christian meaning that dominates, and which is the one normally understood: a member of the True and Exclusive Church established by Christ Jesus. In the Christian sense, the word means one that is a member of the one and only universal religion intended and open to all mankind... Such a one is entitled to the name Catholic.

What is Diwali? Diwali is the festival that the Hindus, Indian pagans, celebrate to commemorate the return of King Rama to the Kingdom of Caushal and to its capital Ayodhya, after his fourteen years long exile. During this exile, Rama had fought Ravana, the King of Ceylon who had abducted Rama's wife Sita, and had vanquished him.

Rama, by the way, and this is known to all Indians, is also the same man who murdered the Dalit Tsumbak for violating the Hindu codes which forbade the Dalits — the enslaved people — the pre-Aryan Indians, from participating in religious activities.

As the murderer of Tsambuk, no organisation that makes a fetish of social justice and of human dignity will or can honestly celebrate Rama, and yet escape the inevitable conclusion that they are nothing but opportunistic hypocrites!

And yet this is the same sect that pretends and makes a great song and dance about its affectations for Dalit reliefs etc...

And yet this is not the worst that can be said about the apostates. There is more.

The Bible is the word of God. It is what God taught man and which man must follow in order to be saved. While the Bible does not contain all of revelation, the rest being contained in Oral Apostolic Traditions, what it does contain is normative, so that nothing else can contradict the principles it sets forth.

In the Bible, God tells us by the mouth and hand of St. Paul the Apostle: What fellowship between Light and Darkness? What fellowship between Christ and Belial?

The implications are clear and undeniable, and an uninterrupted reiteration of the teachings revealed in the books of the Old Testament: The First Commandment.

Yahweh, God, rejects all the false, man-made "gods." And that includes Rama.

God pointedly rejects Rama and his followers as Darkness, the opposite of Light. Darkness means spiritual ignorance or heresy, the rejection of truth and accession to free choice beliefs in opposition to the truth.

It is therefore correct that down the ages, Christians have rebuffed the demands of the pagans world-wide to compromise and to worship their "gods" as they worshipped God. For this refusal, innumerable Christians have even paid the ultimate price of their blood, dying rather than betray Christ Jesus.

Therefore, which sincere Christian will join with the pagans in celebrating their "festival of lights"? And that too one that celebrates a monster, a misanthrope, an enemy of social justice and of the rights and dignity of all men?

Too much. This is all too much. Unconscionable. Yet I have not finished.

There is the Hindu act or rite of Aarti. I have challenged the apostates and conclusively proven that this rite is an act of latria, of divine worship. The Hindus perform this indiscriminately, even and more particularly on foreigners, because they are pantheists who believe that all life-forms are gods.

But Christians are not pantheists. We cannot therefore tolerate and countenance this idolatry offered to living persons as if they were gods. And yet, this is exactly the rite that the apostate sect, the Antichurch, obstinately and contumaciously performs, having adopted it from the pagans.

This indeed is the ultimate blasphemy. As the Hindus say, "Tat tuam ast!" — "You, me, we are all gods!" What can be more blasphemous and obscene than this?

It is well and significant that the lights were extinguished in the long desecrated Cathedral of the Holy Name on Wodehouse Road: They were extinguished so as to enable the entry and glorification of the fallen lights, the fires from hell.

That is what this monstrous rite of blasphemy — this "Diwali Sunday" — was all about!

[Isn't it interesting: The Feast of the Kingship of our Lord Jesus Christ has been thrown away from 26th October by this vile sect, being pushed to 23rd November, even as they have the time to celebrate this blasphemous "Diwali Sunday"!

They have dethroned our Lord and replaced him with a mere man, and an evil man, too!

They have vacated the throne of our Lord Christ the King and have "enthroned" King Rama, the Devil-Usurper, in his stead!]

Merger In The Cathedral

Those who attended Mother Teresa's beatification in Rome described it as a wonderful experience of ritualistic fusion, or what the Church likes to call 'inculturation.' In the three-hour long ceremony, Latin prayers were interspersed with an aarti and a Bengali hymn, Ave Marias mingled with pushpanjalis—the local culture of Calcutta melded with that of Christendom.

It was equally heartening to see something similar unfold at the Wodehouse Cathedral in Bombay on Diwali Sunday, where the theme of the evening service was "the spirit of Diwali." Lights in the magnificent frescoed interior were switched off, as the congregation lit candles to symbolise the triumph of light over darkness. A special prayer was said for all those celebrating the festival of lights. Outside, rangoli patterns and diyas were used to decorate the entrance, and inside, a small aarti was performed as youngsters in white kurtas offered incense and flowers. After the service, in keeping with the festivities, and much to the delight of the children present, laddoos were distributed as fireworks were set off. All in all, a truly Catholic celebration.
