To Catholic Church Reform International

1 Aware of challenges from Catholic activists seeking our baptismal rights and responsibilities Pope Francis assembled a Synod of the Family in order to address universal concerns of Catholic activists i.e. Catholic Reform International. However, realizing CCRI-ACC members are not aware of covert 2 nd -4 th century Catholic change which is the source of today s scandals; please understand this informative article merely outlines two centuries of unknown change in Christianity which affects us today. It was submitted with respect and support of CCRI-ACC (15-19 Oct 2014) For details please view all articles: When Unknown Catholic History Changed Christianity-Cover Letter [Website] Or [LINK] To Catholic Church Reform International The Untold Story in Catholic History that Changed Christianity How Plato s Philosophy and Papal Doctrines led the Catholic Church into Abuse, Misogyny and Anti-Semitism Based on 11 attached Discussions published by the International Australian website for English speaking Catholics (In the Beginning) This condensed commentary is a brief explanation of the little known years in early Christian history before the New Testament was known to exist, a time of change that now divides the Catholic Church. Shrouded in apocryphal literature of the second century this was a period that changed Christianity after the death of Jesus and, having orally preached the Christian message the apostles had passed from the scene, leaving anti-christian chaos which soon led to chaos. Thirty two years after Jesus crucifixion c.30ad His older brother, James the Just the only Christian leader ever elected by the apostles was assassinated by Jewish Temple authorities. Five years later in 67 AD St. Peter, his wife Perpetua, and St. Paul were executed in Rome. In 70 AD the great Jewish Temple was destroyed by Roman Forces, ending Jewish- Christian Temple-worship, and in 135 AD a Jewish revolt against Rome separated Christian-Jews forever; this last Jewish uprising against Rome left Judea razed to the ground with more than half a million Jews slaughtered, forcing both Jews and Jewish-Christians to flee their Judean homeland into the Roman Empire where the threat of Gentile/pagans awaited. With no individual Christian leader after Jesus brother James Catholic historians describe this chaotic period, The new religion of Christ the Lord, from the moment it moved outside the Jewish milieu in which it was first preached, was thus immediately brought up against the influence of world-wide religious activities. In every city there were philosophical mystics and moral teachers ready, with their list of disciples and

2 adepts, to see affinities between their own beliefs and teachings of the new arrival. A Popular History of the Catholic Church, by Philip Hughes (Out of Judea and change) It is important to understand that confused and disrupted time when there were no apostles or Christian priests and the mostly illiterate Christians elected for themselves community leaders, who were aware of but three authorities: First, the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures; second, the spoken word of Jesus and His apostles as recorded in the first Christian literature before the New Testament existed, the Didache; similar to a catechism it will later be include in The Deposit of Faith, that body of Christian revelation and truth, entrusted by Christ to the apostles and handed on by them to be proclaimed during their life. This time passed quickly. The last Jewish-Christian bishop was a Hellenistic Jew from Bethlehem, Evaristus. Forced to separate from the Jews after 135AD when only one Apostolic Father remained alive, all new converts and leaders were pagans, primarily Gentile-Gnostics who knew only of the risen Jesus but nothing of the Old Testament which had formed Christianity, all Christian-Jewish influence was gone. During this time there were no popes, the Liber Pontificalis which purports to identify Roman Popes is described by historians as Uncritical ; the Liber Pontificalis has undergone intense scrutiny as an "unofficial instrument of pontifical propaganda." There were no popes until the fourth century Roman Emperor, Theodosius I, enthroned Siricius with the title Pope, a title which had no association with Christianity. However, expecting Christ to soon return these converted Gnostics rejected the Jewish God Yahweh and the material world as evil; they were the first Gentiles to accepted Christ as a flesh-enrobed god who did not suffer death on the cross. This was a period of Christian change, and when confusion diminished second century Christians-Jews were gone, a time when anti-semitism arose among Gentile-Gnostic converts. (Platonic beliefs replace Jewish-Christianity) Second century change lead to Christianity s greatest loss, the loss of understanding Jesus Jewish nature as He was received by His Jewish-Catholic apostles and disciples. But failing to understand His Jewish-human nature the influx of Gentile pagan converts such as St. Justin Martyr believed Jesus to be a flesh enrobed God. Justin was a true pagan, condemning all Jews for having rejected the Son of God Justin condemned the Jews for circumcision but personally supported priestly castration in order to avoid female temptation; first inspired by St. Justin Martyr s Dialogue with Trypho the Jew, anti-semitism increase until the 20th century. Christians today have difficulty understanding the ancient pagan world which engulfed Christianity; universally without exception all pagan belief-systems ardently followed Plato s ascetic philosophy which taught the soul was prisoner of its sinful flesh, and must be controlled else the soul was condemned. Forbidden by pagan priests and philosophical leaders was sex, consumption of animal flesh and alcohol, and most threatening was the misogynistic fear of female sexual temptation. Seemingly absurd today it is difficult for Christians to understand a belief-system so vastly different from the Jews could affect Jewish-Christianity in less than a century; but most surprising for Catholics today, there was no pope or other individual Christian authority after the assassination of Jesus brother James in 62 AD; Christians then followed only their individual community leaders Christian priests would not exist until the late fourth century. This was a period of change which historians now debate whether the highly venerated Gnostic-Christian Bishop Valentinus c.136ad, or was it the converted Greek philosopher from Athens, Bishop Hyginus who was elected Bishop of Rome? This one incident alone reveals the inroad of pagan beliefs into nascent Christianity. By this time Original Jewish-Christianity had existed only one

3 century after Jesus crucifixion, a time when only one Apostolic Father was left, Polycarp of Smyrna, and there would be no Monarchial Popes until after Emperor Constantine appears two centuries later. (Platonic influence increases before the New Testament Appears) Unknown by Christians today; during the second century the New Testament was not yet known to exist and its various individual texts were no more authorative than newly created apocryphal Christian literature when various groups individually expanded as a virus across the Roman Empire, and beyond. Having absorbed only Gentile converts during the second century a plethora of apocryphal Christian literature was individually created by newly converted Gentile-bishops, each describing their personal understanding of God, Jesus, and their personal Christian beliefs which varied greatly. By 230AD in that century newly created ascetic/apocryphal documents, composed by unknown Gentile authors, became an important apocryphal document, the Didascalia Apostolorum. Widely accepted as legitimate Christian literature this apocryphal non-christian ascetic document required chastity for married bishops and his wife, as well as restrictions on women s decreasing positions of authority. This Didascalia became more authorative than the unknown New Testament, only some of which was by then in circulation. Fortunately, by the end of the second century Gnosticism had fallen by the wayside with the arrival of esteemed scholarly-hellenist philosophers who were enamored with the risen Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth. These pagan scholars converted, became dominate Christian bishops in major cities and today are termed Patristic Fathers. They were lifelong acetic-platonic and Stoic philosophers, all of whom were lifelong celibates when converted to Christianity, but unfortunately for Christianity the Patristics brought with them their lifelong commitment to Plato s ascetic belief of celibate priests and Hellenistic concern of female seduction. On a brief historical note, the Patristics understood the Old Testament was a part of Jesus Jewish tradition but believed it too mundane to explain the true divinity of Christ, and with that understanding they accepted the Old Testament only as Jewish spiritual beliefs expressing ancient Jewish aspirations for their Jewish Messiah when Jesus was not accepted as a god. It remained however a problem for the Patristics to separate Jesus from Tribal Judaism and its requirement of only married Jewish priests, a problem which Tertullian solved by stating Every heretic, you need not tell me, laughs at the whole Old Testament,, the understanding that remained with the pagan Patristics. (Constantine, Apocrypha and Platonic Popes) Before Constantine there were no authorative universal doctrines other than Jesus teaching, Christianity had remained unorganized until 313AD when an axis of cooperation developed among the Patristics, a cooperative understanding that transformed the original Christian-Jewish movement with the insertion of ascetic Hellenistic beliefs from previous centuries, beliefs that remain with us today. Only later, after Constantine installed the Christian movement as a Roman government belief-system did Bishops of Rome become official representatives of Rome; and when Imperial-enforcement of Papal teachings became unchallengeable all pseudo-christian documents became authorative. A new Christian Treaties was then created to succeeded and expand the previous 230AD apocryphal Didascalia Apostolorum which contained elements of the apocryphal Gospel of Paul (including Acts of Paul and Thecla) and the Docetic Gospel of Peter; then, a new apocryphal Apostolic Constitutions in 380 AD was copied verbatim from the previous apocryphal-pagan Didascalia; it was this apocryphal pseudo- Christian doctrine which became Pope Siricius Platonic Sword to end Sacramental Matrimony for priests a Sacrament originally granted to all Christians by Christ. Personally installed as the first Pope by the new Emperor Theodosius I history changed Christianity. On February 10, 385AD Siricius issued the first infallible ex-cathedra Directa Decretal, to be held by the

4 whole Church. Illicitly denying priestly marriage under threat of expelling both priest and wife this Decretal must today be described as an infallible Platonic Dogma issued from the Chair of Peter which denied the Sacrament of Matrimony for priests. Still unknown by Catholics today this nullification of Christ s teaching forever disproved the concept of papal infallibility. Since Jesus and His apostles it is acknowledged by all Christianity that neither Canon Law or Papal authority can change Jesus infallible Doctrines; the Infallibility of Christ is truth, and Christ s infallible truth does not later change or contradict itself, to do so is apostasy. That Pope Siricius was first to infallibly nullify teachings of Christ is prima facie. Pius IX s later definition of papal infallibility in 1870 did not erase the previous fifteen centuries of attempted Papal infallibility De fide, defined as an essential part of Catholic faith, and that denial of it is heresy. These changes ended the concept of Infallibility. This first pseudo- infallible papal dogma must be understood; by clearly nullifying a Sacrament of Christ it was apostate as defined, The Pope is infallible when he speaks ex cathedra, Promised to him in Blessed Peter Therefore such definitions of the Roman Pontiff are irreformable of themselves, and not in virtue of the consent of the Church. With this Vatican definition, which all Catholics must accept as the direct Word of God, all Catholic infallibility is void since it encompasses both papal and Ecumenical Infallibility, i.e. there can be no infallible dogma without support of the pope, who is declared the only human divinely endowed by the Holy Spirit to speak infallible. Siricius merely fulfilled illicit Vatican requirements when he required the apostate Directa Decretal must be held by the whole Church. Siricius declared, We carry the burdens of those who are laden: rather, Blessed Apostle Peter is carrying them for us, and we firmly trust that he protects and guards us in all things, as we [popes] are heirs to his function.. Siricius then alters Christ s Deposit of Faith, stating: The Lord Jesus formally stipulated in the Gospel that He had not come to abolish the law, but to bring it to perfection; this is also why He wanted the beauty of the Church, whose Bridegroom He is, to shine with the splendor of chastity As His apostles taught This statement is palpably apostate. Today no celibacy apologist dares state that either Jesus or His apostles required or taught sexual abstinence for any Christian. More problematic is that all seven Sacraments were instituted by Jesus, which the Church infallibly affirms believers of the New Covenant are required for salvation. Sacramental grace is the grace of the Holy Spirit, given by Christ; it is declared Sacraments Are Necessary for Salvation Therefore, we Catholics must ask: Are we saved? Today Vatican apologists attempt to defend the concept of papal infallibility which, if disproven will collapse all infallible authority of the Hierarchy as it is historically defined. Employing such a malleable defense is theologically meaningless. Since Siricius nullified Christ s teaching in the historical Deposit of Faith all future infallible Papal attempts are both apostate and mute, With such illicit Papal Doctrines Catholicism was changed, and with that transformation the gates of papal apostasy were opened for all future Popes, and remains so today. The Church today is again facing Platonic scandals and is again at a crossroad. Today apocryphal Papal Doctrines are again creating chaos which CCRI attempts to end. (Illicit Celibacy and Sex Abuse Today) In 2002 the Catholic world was stunned with public revelation of child sex abuse, committed by celibate priests who are denied Sacramental Matrimony bringing suspicion on all priests, and the church itself. Since 2002 there is no Catholic nation which is not facing

5 an implosion resulting from Vatican cover-up for clerical sex abused. As recorded among celibate pagan converts in the first century Christian Didache, You must not abuse young boys ; and just previous to Constantine the independent Bishops of Elvira, Spain 306 AD, denied priestly marriage, and Canon 71 decreed, To defilers of boys, communion is not to be given even at death. Earlier addressing pagan converts St. Ignatius c.108 AD, the last Apostolic Father, said those who believe celibacy is superior are condemned. But subservient to Plato s papal doctrines in the Dark ages the Council of Agde 506AD forbade sub-deacons to marry, and Orleans 538AD and Tours 567AD prohibited those already married from living with their wives. This demand that priests abandon their wives was an illicit nullification of the Sacrament of Matrimony, as was Siricius doctrine. This shocking discovery of sexual abuse over two millennium influenced Catholic historians to review the failure of Vatican Council II in Called by Pope John XXII he was the first pope to seek change and removal of oppressive ancient doctrines which developed over centuries, but have no place in Christianity. Tragically he died, and was replaced by Pope Paul VI, an apologist of the medieval Vatican which re-organized Catholic teaching in an apostate Byzantine legal system of today, only to publicly protect abusive priests which insults all priests. The Vatican is designed to protect popes as explained by Cardinal Yves Congar, O.P. to Fr. Hans Kung during Vatican Council II. For this reason members of CCRI must come to understand the consequences of this system which is specifically designed to protect papal infallibility. (Infallible Popes and Women Today) Catholic historians have revisited ancient Catholic doctrines first taught by ascetic-pagan third century Patristics, including denial of female ordination and condemnation of female contraception, each failed to be rejected by Vatican Council II. (The Sin of Birth Control) On this website article Chapter 10: When Unknown Catholic History Changed Christianity-Cover-Letter. Open The Infallible Platonic Contraception Scandal Chapter 10. It reveals duplicitous Vatican chicanery employed to covertly defend the false concept of papal infallibility in order to protect a Papal Infallibility, which alters Chris teaching in the Deposit of Faith - Casti Connubii. It is exceeded only by the misogynistic-apostate Papal encyclical, Humanae Vitae in More devastating for Vatican infallibility today is the secret electronic information which exposes and identifies Vatican operatives who secretly worked in consort with the Pope Paul VI, all in order to maintain infallible papal authority condemning female birth control as it was permitted by first Christians. These published details exposed by the National Catholic Reporter, Gerald Slevin, are presented in Chapter 10. Again, this article exposes the apostate nature of papal infallibility. See. [Footnote [3] Pope Paul VI s Humanae Vitae infallibly reinforced the Patristics illicit third century Law with a new papal doctrine that was already condemned by the First Dogmatic Constitution of the Church For the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles. Vatican Council I. Please read the footnotes in attached Chapter 10. Next :( Vatican intrigue and Women Priests)

6 Open Chapter 9, When unknown Catholic History Changed Christianity It is a historically recorded papal change of Christ s Deposit of Faith. In Chapter 9, see Pope John Paul II s Infallible Platonic Doctrine Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, condemning women s ordination and again transparently changing the Deposit of Faith. Additionally, [Footnote [5] also explains why this doctrine must be recognized as an illicit example of Creeping Infallibility ] In 1965 an Infallible Papal Doctrine was issued by Pope John Paul II denying ordination of women to their original leadership positions, stating: Priestly ordination, which hands on the office entrusted by Christ to his Apostles of teaching, sanctifying and governing the faithful, has in the Catholic Church from the beginning always been reserved to men alone. Again the pope violates Christian history contained in the Deposit of Faith when there was no priesthood as it is defined today. The apostles were not priests; men and women clerics served in the same position of leadership as explained by John Dominic Crossan in the original Didache. Also supported by former Jesuit/Professor Gary Wills, the concept of Sacerdotal Priests as defined today did not exist until illicitly created in the Fourth Lateran Council c.1215 AD, the century in which women were intentionally disenfranchised from positions of authority which they occupied during the Deposit of Faith. Papal doctrines such as these clearly reveal the irreligious and reprehensible sinful nature to which popes will descend in order to protect papal infallibility and the Vatican Hierarchy. Such chicanery cannot be defended by Catholic Answers. (Consequence of Platonic Doctrines) Cloaked in the fog of history since Emperor Theodosius I created the papacy, duplicity continued to mislead the Faithful. Over 17 centuries apocryphal Platonic Doctrines have nullified teachings of Christ under the guise of Development of Doctrine in order to control Catholic thought, and protect a medieval Hierarchy which history has finally overcome, it is a power structure which had no place in first Christianity. Through centuries papal change has covertly succeeded via false narratives of second century history unknown by the Laity. Known only by the few in-house historians as time passes. Today in Catholic seminaries our bishops, priests, deacons, theologians and canon lawyers are unaware of ancient sub-rosa changes unless they privately invest years of personal research into historically the recorded origin and changes of early Christianity that have no place in Christian Tradition, today this illiteracy may include popes who also began as seminary priests. Modern Christianity cannot be fully understood until we acknowledge platonic changes which were introduced during the shrouded second and third century, and continues to scandalize the Church today. These illicit doctrines must be acknowledged and attributed to individuals that changed our history.. Therefore we Catholics must acknowledge, should any pope ever have declared an infallible Papal Doctrine (of which there are many) which nullified or altered a Doctrine of Christ from the Deposit of Faith exposes apostate claims of infallibility i.e., all belief in papal Infallibility, including, all Infallible Ecumenical Council Doctrines; and all infallible Doctrines from the Ordinary and Universal Magisterium must be declared void because they nullified Christ s Deposit of Faith on which all Christian faith is founded. This Catholic anomaly occurs by virtue of the illicit Vatican demand that The Pope possesses full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the whole Church, not merely in matters of Faith and Morals, but also in Church discipline and in government of the Church. (De fide) Never has an infallible Catholic Doctrine gone unsupported by the papacy; in all such incidents the pope since Siricius in 385AD has already nullified the concept of papal infallibility which is wrongly required to speak of faith and morals.

7 Within this website alone we have presented evidence of apostate changes in Christ s Deposit of Faith.1) Siricius denial of Sacramental Matrimony.2) Denial of Women s Ordination.3) Denying contraception. Today we Catholics do not have a Church problem, we have a false Hierarchy, first instituted by the pagan Patristics which did not exist in first Christianity. We now elect fallible popes, bishops, priests etc. because; Hierarchical Christian positions did not exist in the beginning and therefore must first be elected by, and serve only with approval of Diocesan bishops. Election by the Faithful (Sensus fidelium) was originally required by first Christianity; recorded in the Didache: Chap. XV Elect therefore for yourselves Bishops and Deacons worthy of the Lord, men meek, and not lovers of money, and truthful, and approved; for they too minister to you the ministry of the Prophets and Teachers. They may also be expelled after three days. (The Catholic Future?) This author does not issue an anti-catholic apologia; rather, he issues an unchallengeable objective history in support of Catholic faithful (Sensus fidelium) who constitute the Body of Christ, and which condemns the mediaeval power structure which has no place in Christianity. The anomaly of ancient Catholic changes is known and will ultimately defrock the Hierarchy as it now exists. Only when this recorded history is universally understood via media documentaries will the original Catholic Church be cleansed, not by books which the laity fails to understand, or changes in the Catechism. This truth is becoming apparent to faithful Catholics. Today, as we know, Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II knowingly assisted covert villainy denying historical justice for women, and for children, thus subverting teachings assured by Jesus and the apostles. Therefore we must ask, does our conscience compel us to remain surrogate Christians required to negotiate with a Platonic Papacy, which controls an impious Hellenistic-Pagan belief system of the second century. Do we remain in silent subservience or do we come together and publicly speak the truth? Within the year Pope Francis second Synod on the Family will reassemble in Rome, so you must answer when asked, what will be the position of Catholic Church Reform International whose stated mission is. OUR MISSION is to embrace our baptismal rights and responsibilities by speaking out with a united voice, thereby actualizing transformative change in the Catholic Church, returning to the values and spirit that Jesus modeled Then, which path will Pope Francis take regarding Sensus fidelium? St. Thomas Aquinas defined: Heretic : One who having accepted the faith of Christ corrupts His doctrines. Peace, Edgar Davie
