Forum rules


Welcome to the Catholic Theology sub forum.

The purpose of this sub forum is to discuss things within Catholicism that may or may not line up with the Scriptures. (Roman, Eastern Orthodox, Greek Orthodox etc)

Please remember that while we allow discussion of the various doctrines within Catholicism this is an Evangelical Christian Forum which believes in
  • Sola Scriptura,
  • Sola Gratia,
  • Sola Fide,
  • Solus Christus,
  • Soli Deo Gloria
What this forum is NOT!

This forum is NOT the place to bash Catholicism nor is it the place to bash either Evangelical Christians or the Reformation or any one individual. If any one is found violating this, posts will be immediately removed and warnings given.

This is also NOT the place for those who disagree with Evangelical Christianity or the Forums Statement of Beliefs to use this forum as a "teaching platform" to promote beliefs contrary to the above. While it is permissible to answers questions asked concerning these beliefs starting threads with the attempt to teach will be removed forthwith and warnings issued.

Please remember that while we allow discussion of the various doctrines within Catholicism if you are here to simply promote Catholicism of any type this forum is not for you.

The "One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church", is the church which is universal, and which includes all who have faith in Jesus and are filled with the Holy Spirit of God no matter what denominational affliation they belong to.

There are Christians and non Christians within the Evangelical faith and there are Christians and non Christians within Catholicism. This forum is to come together on what we have in common and not what we don't. There is hope ... but only when unity is sought in Christ and in the power of his Holy Spirit.

Remember the Code of Conduct standards apply as well.

To His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI

Your Holiness,

We are the Community of Charity Services of the Blessed Mother, a community founded by Mother Mary, our Lord’s Mother, on May 23, 1995. The aim of this community is to work together with Agnes Sawarno, an Indonesian visionary, to convey the messages of our Lord Jesus and our Mother Mary to their children in Indonesia, and after the death of Sister Lucia dos Santos de Jesus OCD, also to their children in all over the world, in connection with the nearing purification of the world and the mankind.

On behalf of the Community, we are conveying our witnesses and experiences on the spiritual journey to Fatima on May 13, 2005. Before we start with our letter we would like to confess our faith and our conviction as follows:
We believe in all the contents of the Apostles’ Creed.
We believe that the Christian Economy, since it is the new and definitive covenant, will never pass away; and no new public revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ (DV 4).
Yet even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries (Catechism of the Catholic Church 66).
To understand the full significance of the Holy Bible, based on the public Revelation that is already complete, we are convinced that we will be helped by our Lord Jesus, who is always with us according to His promise: ”Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them“ (Matt 18:20), and “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt 28:20) and by our Mother Mary, who had been given as Mother by Jesus to His followers (cf John 19:26-27), to help them, and who after taken up to heaven did not lay aside her salvific duty, but by her constant intercession continued to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. By her maternal charity, she cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties, until they are led into the happiness of their true home” (LG 62).
We believe that the help of our Lord Jesus and our Mother Mary is given among other things in the form of private revelations. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it (private revelation) in a certain period of history. Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the church (Catechism of the Catholic Church 67).

This is to introduce our community and our faith and convictions.

Your Holiness,

As is mentioned above we are asked by our Lord Jesus and our Mother Mary to spread their messages related to the purification of the world and the mankind, in order that her children will be ready to face it by wholly returning themselves to God.

Repeatedly, Lord Jesus and Mother Mary, conveyed through Agnes Sawarno, asked the Bishops and the Priests to prepare their children, but it had been ignored by many of them, because the spirit of the world influences them. Many Bishops and Priests seem to have left behind the Catholic values for the sake of integration into modern culture. There is no more firmness in teaching; they stress no more holiness in life and no more professional in guiding God’s children. Therefore we were asked to write a letter to the Indonesian Hierarchy, and we had done it five times. The last two were written on May 10, 2005 and September 12, 2005.

In our letter on May 10, 2005, we wrote that, as assigned by our Lord Jesus and our Mother Mary, Agnes Sawarno and 20 members of the Community of Charity Services of the Blessed Mother had left Jakarta for Fatima. Agnes Sawarno had to continue the mission of Sister Lucia, namely to convey the messages given by Mother Mary in 1917 in connection with the purification of the world, that is still kept hidden, in order that the Catholic Church can prepare her children facing the mentioned purification, which will reach its climax in the form of Three Days of Darkness covering the whole world.

To that letter we attached our first booklet entitled “THE MIRACLE OF THE SUN IS PERFORMED AGAIN AND THE PURIFICATION IS NEAR”. We had prepared and multiplied this booklet to be distributed in Fatima. In that booklet we informed the assignment we received from our Lord Jesus and our Mother Mary, namely to become delegates and witnesses in resounding the Fatima Messages of 1917, that there were still a part of it, which is still hidden and have to be opened promptly to the world, so the European people can receive the “sign” for their conversion upon approaching the purification of the world. If Agnes and the Community did not go there, they would not receive the sign to prepare themselves, and would directly face the climax of the purification of the world through the “three days of darkness”. We had brought about that assignment according to our capability.

I am not quite sure as to the intention with which this was posted. I have moved it from the Pastor's Corner to Roman Catholic theology, since you have listed yourself as a Roman Catholic. I will give you one opportunity to explain this, or pose soem sort of question which would lead to a discussion, then I will lock this thread.

This is a discussion forum. What you have posted poses to question, and in fact is addressed to the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. It would be my guess that the pope is way to busy to visit a site run by a bunch of evangelical protestants, except maybe as a passing curiosity, (Please correct me if I'm wrong Br Benedict.) and so you post leaves me (at least) asking, "why is this here?"

I moved this thread because, in my opinion, it was posted in an inappropriate area.

LOOK AT THE SUN


THE MIRACLE
OF THE SUN IS
PERFORMED AGAIN
and THE PURIFICATION
IS NEAR (*)



During the celebration of
the 88th years anniversary of the first apparition
in Fatima, on May 13, 2005,

“It is given for the world, as the last sign for
conversion and preparation for the purification
of the world while we wait for ‘the three days of
darkness’ as the climax” (*)

(*) As it is a promise and a message from
The BLESSED MOTHER MARY to

Mrs. AGNES SAWARNO
(Indonesian visionary), together with
COMMUNITY OF CHARITY SERVICES OF THE BLESSED MOTHER,
INDONESIA



During the celebration of the 88th years anniversary of the first apparition in Fatima, on May 13, 2005,
the miracle of the sun
will be given again in Fatima, as the same sign
that had been given through Lucia, Jacinta and Fransisco,
on the October 13, 1917.(*)

It is given for the world
as the last sign for conversion
and preparation for the purification of the world
while we wait for “the three days of darkness” as the climax.

So cry and repent! Turn yourself to God totally!
To Him, The One and Only God,
Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior!
For He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
And no one can come to Father except through Him.
And for all the names in the world given to men,
this is the only One by which we can be saved.

Come nearer and stay closer to God
Trust in Jesus completely
to pass the days of purifications.
Live your life in prayer and charity deeds
and be in peace with everybody
So you can be saved.

Revelation 3 : 10 :
“Because you have kept my commandment to persevere,
I will keep you safe in the time of trial
which is coming for the whole world,
to put the people of the world to the test. “

The Community was assigned by Mother Mary
to be her messenger
to foretell and witness this Fatima miracle.


(*) As it is a promise and a message from
The Blessed Mother Mary to
Mrs. Agnes Sawarno,(Indonesian visionary)
together with
Community of Charity Services of The Blessed Mother. Indonesia



“Now a great sign appeared in the sky :
a woman, adorned with the sun, standing on the moon,
and the twelve stars on her head for a crown.”
( Rev.12 : 1 )

This revelation to John, the apostle, was fulfilled with the miracle of the sun in Fatima on the last apparition to the three young shepherds: Lucia, Jacintha and Fransisco, October13, 1917, and continued with similar signs throughout the world in the 20th century and also in Indonesia since March 1995.
In Indonesia, The Virgin Mary introduces herself by the name : The Blessed Mother and She also tells that she is The Revelation Virgin, the Woman adorned with the sun just as written in the book of Revelation.

COMMUNITY OF CHARITY SERVICES OF THE BLESSED MOTHER.
This Community was formed, named and served by Our Blessed Mother Mary from heaven.
It’s all started on Friday March 24, 1995, in Sendangsono – the famous Marian shrine in Central Java, Indonesia – when Mother Mary appeared to Agnes Sawarno, a regular housewife, (married to an Army Officer, Tarsisius Sawarno). Agnes, mother of 5, was 49 years young when it happened. At the time of the apparition there was also a great sign in the sky, the sign of the sun, “the enchantment of sun”. Since that day, Virgin Mary repeatedly appeared to Agnes or “present in locutions” in several different places including her home in Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia, and asked her to work together as this is the last moments for the world.

As promised, this thread is now closed. This is not the place to post this stuff. Try a Roman Catholic site instead.
