 Re: What dear friend do you finf strange about CatholicismQuote:
The Catholic Church IS Christ! You totally misunderstand that too. Jesus established it for our protection against the wiles of the Devil. HE gave us the seven Sacraments, including the Holy Priesthood from the Last Supper on, Apostolic Succession. Divine Authority protected by the Holy Spirit thru the Pope.( Papal Infallibility) (Even so called "bad Popes' never harmed the teaching authority of the Catholic Church.) Over 2.000 years of history going back to Jesus Christ. What other denomination can claim all that and PROVE it thru history.??? The Catholic Church has outlived kingdoms , dictators, rulers of ever kind and will outlive all others till the end of time as Jesus promised. Like Peter said, "Lord where would we go, YOU have the words of Eternal life!" God Bless, Memaw |

Muscle Memory: Beating The Porn Temptation
I want to teach YOU what the Holy Spirit, Saint John Paul II and the US Marine Corps taught me... namely, to fight, and WIN! I struggled with pornography addiction for more that twenty years, inheriting it from my father when I was just a little boy.
No more shame!
The addiction led to abortion, depression, suicidal thoughts and the near destruction of my marriage and loss of my five beautiful children! However, God had a different plan for my life... and YOURS!
No more living in the shadows!
I've spoken to thousands across the USA and beyond... now, in Muscle Memory, I will teach YOU the technique that has kept me FREE from pornography for more than twelve years. By combining my experience in the US Marine Corps with the incredible insight of St. John Paul II into human sexuality, I have learned to FIGHT and WIN against the daily (sometimes moment by moment) porn temptations.
No more pain and sorrow for your family!

Spiritual Warfare
Spiritual Warfare! Most people today would laugh at that very term. Why? Because most "enlightened" people today don't even believe in the existence of angels and demons fighting all around us for the prize of our souls. However, spiritual combat between angels and demons for our souls is as much a reality as the existence of the Grand Canyon is. One side wants to win the battle so that they can drag us down to hell for eternal damnation, and the other side wants to win to take us up to heaven for eternal bliss and happiness. The demons are definitely anenemy to take seriously. 
Translate
So what does the average person just going about their business every day do to combat the evil ones? Humility for starters. Humility is NOT going around saying "I'm no good". Humility is merely putting God first in everyaspect of your life, everyone else in the world second, and then putting yourself third. It's kind of like baseball - If you want to go home and score, you must be on third! The devil's great sin was pride - he wanted to be God - Humility is the opposite of pride, and it counteracts the devil every time. Submitting to God's will in everything, even suffering, is humility to the max. Mary said, "Be it done to me according to thy will." Jesus said, "Not as I will, but as thou will." Remember, Heaven is full of people who said "Thywill be done", while hell is full of people who said "My will be done". To learn about the different levels of demonic attacks, click here. To learn about the three characteristics of the diabolic from the Bible (love of nudity, violence, division), click here.
The next thing to do is toconstantly be in the state of grace. This means frequentconfession, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and going to daily Mass as much as possible, in order to receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. It also means prayer, lots of prayer, every day. This can be done silently when driving or at work, or it can mean saying the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. It only takes 20 minutes to say one set of mysteries of the Rosary, and the heavenly protection it gives us is immense. By invoking the very humble Blessed Virgin Mary as your protector, the demons can't get in through our senses as easily as they could before. Whatever your particular shortcoming is, like gluttony, lust, anger, greed, envy, pride, or sloth, pray that God will send you the grace to overcome it. Then pray for the grace to accept those graces, and not throw them away! And once God realizes that you are serious in your love for Him, and not just paying him lukewarm lip service, your vice will just disappear one day, and you won't even want to go back to it!
Almsgiving and helping the poor are also great ways to keep the devil at bay. Anything done from the heart, especially when it's sacrificial, confounds him. Why? Because he doesn't have a heart, and he can't understand it. He has an immense intellect, and can win a battle of wits with us every time, but he always loses the battle whenever we do something for the less fortunate, from the heart.
It is also VERY helpful to keep a lot of blessed objects in your house, like a crucifix and a picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially in your bedroom. Satan loves to come at night in the dark and scare us in our dreams, or even with sleep paralysis. Have some holy water and blessed salt in your house, and occasionally sprinkle them around your rooms. There is nothing magic about the salt and the water, but the blessing on the salt and the water has immense spiritual effects. Have a Mass said in your house, if possible, especially if you move into an old house. And always say the prayer to St. Michael, who's very name means "Who is like God". Prayers to Mary and St. Joseph are also very beneficial to fight satan.
So get with the program! Don't let the devil play you for a sap. He will show you a good time for a while, but always, always, later on he will depress you, make your life miserable, and take you out one day. What good does it do to get away with sin 1 time, 100 times, or a 1000 times, if, in the end, he gets your soul in hell? BUT, if you latch on to the Blessed Virgin Mary TODAY, the one human he could never touch, he will be more afraid of you than you will ever be of him. He's a coward, and only goes after the prideful, weak, and ignorant. So get spiritually strong, and start saying that rosary! The first words of Gabriel to Mary - "Hail Full of Grace" - marked the changing of the Old Testament (before Jesus) to the New Testament (Jesus comes in the flesh to the world). By repeating these words, we are commemorating this momentous event in world history. And don't forget, the Hail Mary prayer not only honors Mary, but Jesus as well ("blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus").
NEVER FORGET - Life here on earth is short. Hell lasts forever. The devil is trying to trick you every day into sin, so that 100 years from now he will be torturing you in the fires of hell, forever. What good is temporary pleasure when the penalty for it is eternal torment? Don't be fooled - you could die tomorrow in a car wreck and be damned forever. As long as your soul is in your body, there is an infinite amount of divine mercy flowing from the Sacred Heart of Jesus to you so that you can be saved. Once you die, the divine mercy is finished, and the justice of God begins. Today is the day, now is the hour, & this is the place for you to tell the devil to take a hike and choose Jesus, even if it hurts. Even someone who is a satanist can be saved. JUST DO IT.
