Having grown up in the Vatican 2 Novus Ordo sect, and having been indoctrinated with partial truth (an age-old snare of the devil), I’ve compiled the following comparisons with the hope that the cloud of darkness will disappear and the sun will shed its light!  I share this post in reparation for raising my son in what I thought was the Catholic Church.  May God have mercy on our souls…

 Catholic Church 

  • Founded by Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago

  • The “Mystical Body of Christ”

 Katholyc church 

  • Founded by Freemasons in October, 1958 with the “election” of John 23

  • The “Synagogue of Satan”; an arm of the one world religion

 Catholic Church – mission 

  •  To save souls

 Katholyc church – mission 

  • To make the world a better place to live, to achieve human dignity and a community of peoples (these are objectives of atheistic Communism, Humanism, Liberalism, Modernism, Rationalism, and Socialism)

 Catholic Church – beliefs 

  • Freemasonry -- Catholics are “ipso facto” (automatically) excommunicated for affiliating with Freemasonry

  • Indifferentism – Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical “Immortale Dei” conveyed that it is unlawful to place various forms of divine worship on the same footing as the true religion; Pope Pius XI in his encyclical, “Mortalium Animos” also condemned this equal footing theory.  The Church’s belief is that “error has no rights,” meaning that the Church’s teachings and practices are true because It is guided by the Holy Ghost, and any error or teacher of error has no rights against said Truth.

  • Old Covenant -- The Council of Florence (1438-1445) defined the dogma that “the Old Covenant has ceased”; this was symbolically shown at Christ’s death when the veil was torn in two from top to bottom

  • Salvation -- Although the Redeemer shed His Blood for the salvation of all, the fruit which has been received from it pertains not to all, but to many.  When Our Lord said:  “for you,” He meant either those who were present, or those chosen from among the Jewish people (except Judas) and to the Disciples with whom He was speaking; “for many” was to be understood the remainder of the elect from among the Jews and Gentiles

  • Unity -- consists in inviting all to be a part of the Catholic Church; the Church teaches that we cannot give honor, high regard, or praise, to infidels and others outside of the Church, but we can offer our compassion, sorrow, pity, kindness, charity and fraternal correction toward them

 Katholyc church – beliefs 

  • Freemasonry -- Members can join Freemasonry and remain a part of the Katholyc church

  • Indifferentism -- Montini (Paul 6) in “Nostra Aetate” promotes a means to bring peace by intermingling all religions and cultures, giving respect to differences; Vatican 2’s Declaration on Ecumenism #9:  “…Most valuable for this purpose are meetings between the two sides, especially for discussion of theological problems, where each can treat with the other on an equal footing”; Declaration of Ecumenism #4 (2nd paragraph):  “Through such dialogue, everyone gains a truer knowledge and more just appreciation of the teaching and religious life of both communions”

  • Old Covenant – Montini’s “Nostra Aetate” also infers that the covenant with the Jews still stands; further, Bergoglio (Francis) said:  “I hold the Jewish people in very high regard, whose covenant with God has never been revoked.”

  • Salvation – all are saved, no matter in which religion one belongs

  • Unity -- consists in coexistence with other false religions (solidarity)

 Catholic Church - Bible 

  • Uses the translation of St. Jerome’s Vulgate; its author was a great scholar who was well-versed in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.  From St. Jerome’s translation came the Douay Rheims English translation.

 Katholyc church - bible 

  • Uses a new ecumenical bible that reflects liberal theology.  In the 1940’s, the Episcopal Committee of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine introduced an edition of the Catholic Douay Bible.  The translators were members of the Catholic Biblical Association of America and several scholars of other faiths.  The updating process of re-translation/communizing of Scripture was spearheaded by “Cardinal Bea,” a Freemason.  Years of tampering resulted in the New American Bible, which perverts its reader to follow the heresies of Ecumenism (indifferentism), Humanism, and Liberalism.  It features gender-inclusive language.  Also, the word “soul” is conspicuously missing in virtually every instance; “hell” is replaced by “nether world” & “Gehenna”; the word “astrologers” is used versus “astronomers” to refer to the visitors from the East (an astronomer is one who studies the science of heavenly bodies, while an astrologer is one who believes that heavenly bodies control our lives and destinies).

 Catholic Church – buildings 

  • Altars are used for sacrifice for the propitiation of sin

  • Jesus in the tabernacle is the center and focus

  • Statues remind the Faithful who they are to imitate

  • Consecrated/traditional buildings are treasured

 Katholyc church – buildings 

  • Altars are removed, or tables are placed in front of them (the arrangement is like in Masonic temples)

  • Tabernacles are placed on the side or behind the table

  • Statues are minimal

  • Buildings are modernized and old ones destroyed or abandoned

 Catholic Church – charity 

  • Charity is loving our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God; it involves being intolerant of any teaching that is against truth as revealed by Christ to His Church; this follows the example of the Apostles who were very outspoken against false teachers

 Katholyc church – charity 

  • Charity means not speaking out against one’s enemies because said action s being intolerant

 Catholic Church – children of God 

  • All are children of God, but if any are not members of the Catholic Church, then they are not members of the household of God, Christ’s Mystical Body

 Katholyc church – children of God 

  • All are children of God

 Catholic Church – clergy/nuns 

  • Wisdom of elder clergy is valued and held in high esteem

  • Priests are addressed as Father with their last name

  • Clergy interact with the laity only when it concerns the salvation of souls

  • Nuns wear traditional black habits covering all but their faces

 Katholyc church – clergy/nuns 

  • Elder clergy were asked to retire

  • Presiders are addressed as Father with their first name

  • Interact with the laity in events/functions

  • Nuns may or may not wear habits; some wear skirts to their knees

 Catholic Church – divorce 

  • Those who divorce and remarry are excommunicated and no sacramental participation is permitted; excommunicated parents do not qualify as Catholic and the children of such a union cannot be baptized in, nor be reared in, the Church

 Katholyc church -- divorce 

  • Divorce and remarriage are acceptable (as evidenced by the plethora of annulments)

 Catholic Church – language 

  • The third person of the Blessed Trinity is known as the Holy Ghost

  • Reference is made to a chalice (a gold vessel, inside & out) used for sacrifices

  • Uses the word “spirituality”

 Katholyc church – language 

  • The third person of the Blessed Trinity is known as the Holy Spirit

  • Reference is made to a “cup” which appropriately conveys the sense of a memorial meal, not a sacrifice

  • Uses the word “spiritualism,” a form of pantheism in which the universe is God and God is the universe (a condemned heresy as per the Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 edition, page 229)

 Catholic Church – laws 

  • Are constant -- the only thing that changes is the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ

  • Canon Law is predicated on papal law to protect the Divine Law; it was codified in 1917

 Katholyc church – laws 

  • Are in constant motion -- the only thing that does not change is the bread and wine into anything

  • Kanon Law was initiated by Montini (Paul 6) and finalized by Wojtyla (John Paul 2) in 1983 to suit the Freemasonic mindset

 Catholic Church – leadership 

  • Have Popes/Vicars of Christ – 262 from St. Peter to Pope Pius XII

  • When a Cardinal becomes pope, he maintains his free will and if said Pope refuses to listen to the Holy Ghost (depending on his own self-sufficiency), he can certainly err like the rest of us sinners

 Katholyc church – leadership 

  • Have emperor/kings (Roncalli, Montini, Luciani, Wojtyla, Ratzinger, Bergoglio, Prevost); to the world they are referred to as “popes”

  • It is commonly held that as long as the emperor/king approves of the Vatican 2 changes, the Holy Spirit is guiding the Katholyc church since the Holy Spirit always guides the emperor/king

 Catholic Church – marriage 

  • “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder” (St. Matthew 6:19 & St. Mark 10:9); annulments are very rare and Catholics are forbidden to attempt marriage outside of the Church

  • Anyone attempting marriage before a non-Catholic minister is “ipso facto” excommunicated, and the attempted marriage is invalid.  This type of “self-excommunication” does not require a formal declaration by clergy.

  • Formally participating/attending the event of an attempted marriage outside the Church, or being present at the reception, is forbidden

  • Living in a “brother/sister” relationship constitutes a daily occasion of sin, which is tantamount to committing the sin itself

 Katholyc church – marriage 

  • Allows remarriage and grants a plethora of annulments for this

  • Allows marriage outside the Katholyc church

  • Can attend non-Katholyc marriage services without consequence

  • An unrelated male and female can live together under one roof in a “brother and sister” relationship without penalty

 Catholic Church – Mass 

  • When -- Mass is attended on Sunday in honor of Christ’s resurrection on the first day of the week

  • Worship -- Includes adoration of God and veneration of His Saints

  • Main Emphasis -- Christ’s Holy Sacrifice

  • Altars -- are used for the Holy Sacrifice

  • Who faces who -- Both clergy and laity face Almighty God in the tabernacle

  • Who assists -- only men assist

  • Language – Mass is prayed in Latin, a symbol of unity of all Catholics; the Council of Trent declared anathema anyone who said that the words of the Mass should be said in the vernacular

  • Music -- Gregorian chant is sung

  • Abstaining -- To receive Holy Communion, one must abstain from eating food from midnight

  • Example of difference in prayers used -- Offertory:  “Receive, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this spotless host which I, thy unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for my own countless sins, offenses, and negligences, and for all here present; as also for all faithful Christians living and dead, that it may avail both for my own and their salvation unto life eternal.  Amen” (St Andrew’s Missal 1945)

 Katholyc Church – “mass” 

  • When -- Sunday obligation was changed to a “weekend” obligation and can occur on Saturday (Saturday is the Sabbath for Jews and 7th Day Adventists)

  • Worship -- a piece of bread and wine (idolatry) because the presiders have no power to consecrate

  • Main emphasis – fellowship, with participation of the laity; the “priesthood” of the laity has both men and women entering the sanctuaries and handling vessels and distributing “communion” (this is typical Presbyterianism)

  • Tables -- are used to represent a memorial meal

  • Who faces who -- Clergy face the people and turn their backs on whatever altars remain; this is a turning away from the only religion which honors God to one which honors man (Humanism)

  • Who assists -- men and woman can assist; female altar servers are acceptable

  • Language -- services are said in the vernacular

  • Music -- guitar and cymbals may be used in “folk masses”

  • Abstaining -- One is to abstain before receiving the bread and wine only one hour prior to its reception

  • Example of difference in prayers used -- Offertory:  “We offer to you, the fruits of the earth and the wine of the vine, through the works of human hands, Almighty God of the Universe” (an expression of the Jewish Kabbalah)

 Catholic Church – mercy 

  • Both the Corporal & Spiritual works of mercy are relevant

  • Emphasizes both God’s mercy as well as His justice

 Katholyc church – mercy 

  • Stresses the Corporal Works of mercy

  • Focus is on God’s mercy, frequently ignoring His justice

 Catholic Church – penance  

  • The Sacrament is called the “Sacrament of Penance”

  • The penitent is behind a screen

  • Includes prayer, abstinence, fasting, mortification, and self-denial for the salvation of one’s soul (and the souls of others)

  • The law of fasting on Ember Days was established by Pope St. Callistus (222-227 A.D.)

 Katholyc Church – penance 

  • The sacrament is called “sacrament of reconciliation”

  • The penitent may choose face-to-face confessions

  • Abstinence, fasting, and other forms of self-denial/mortification are virtually non-existent; these practices are considered demeaning to human dignity (Humanism)

  • Ember Days are ignored

 Catholic Church – prayer 

  • Hands are joined together pointing upward to God

  • The “Our Father” ends with “…and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.”

  • Have 3 mysteries of the Rosary, the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious (the 150 Hail Mary’s correspond to the 150 Psalms)

 Katholyc church – prayer  

  • Hands are folded in prayer beneath the waist with heads bowed like Protestants

  • The Our Father ends with “…for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever.”

  • Have 4 mysteries of the Rosary, the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous (the 4th in honor of the Illuminati?)

 Catholic Church – rules 

  • Faithful Catholics are bound to avoid even family members who continue to follow false teachers and continue to belong to any false church; they are required to refrain from association with heretics and unrepentant sinners; note that spiritual blindness is a punishment for following false teachers

  • Per Canon 1258, Faithful Catholics are forbidden to participate in a false religious service because it’s a sacrilege against the First Commandment; doing so in public constitutes giving bad example, a mortal sin against the Fifth Commandment (known as “communication in sacris”)

  • Servile work is not permitted on Sundays and Holy Days, because the Third Commandment states that we must remember to keep holy the Sabbath day (a day of required rest and holiness); the breadwinner is permitted to work on Sunday only if it is absolutely necessary for the support of the family

  • “A woman shall not be clothed with man’s apparel, neither shall a man use woman’s apparel:  For he that doeth these things is abominable before God.” (Deuteronomy 22:5); also, at holy Mass, women cover their heads with veils

 Katholyc church – rules 

  • Worship, companionship, and association will all non-Catholics is acceptable

  • Can participate with all religious sects/denominations, as evidenced by Wojtyla (John Paul 2) at Assisi

  • Avoiding servile work on Sundays is not emphasized

  • Are indifferent to women’s apparel; also, no veil is required to attend Katholyc services

 Catholic Church – sacramentals 

  • The Papal Crown (Tiara) and Papal Ring (representing the continual Apostolic Succession from Saint Peter onward) are symbolic representations of the monarchial significance of the office of the papacy

  • The brown Scapular of Our Lady is worn by the Faithful

  • Wheaten bread and pure wine are used (two essential elements for valid and licit consecration)

  • Olive oil and beeswax candles are used

 Katholyc Church – sacramentals 

  • The Papal Tiara was given away to the United Nations in the 1960’s by Montini (Paul 6)

  • Ignores the brown Scapular of Our Lady

  • Bread can be “gluten-free” and grape juice can be used for the “problem priest” with an alcohol problem

  • Vegetable oil was authorized for use; similarly, ordinary candle wax was authorized because beeswax is considered too expensive

 Catholic Church – sin 

  • Sin is an offense against God, then against our neighbor

  • All its individual members are capable of committing sin, but the Church, Itself, is exempt

 Katholyc church – sin 

  • Sin is an offense against man before it is an offense against God

  • The church is capable of sin

 Catholic Church – salvation 

  • Few get to Heaven

  • Of those who are saved, most expiate their sins in Purgatory before entering Heaven

 Katholyc church – salvation 

  • Everyone goes to Heaven no matter the religion professed

  • When people die, they go to Heaven

 CALL TO ACTION:  Think back to the time in which Jesus lived and ask yourself…  Would I have remained in the synagogue in which I worshipped for many years or would I have left it for the Truth, which was Christ?  Would I have stayed with my friends who said that the high priest, the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin could not be wrong?  Would I have followed the Truth with the very few (the Apostles and disciples)?  Would I have risked ridicule and persecution, recalling that the majority of Jews gladly followed their traitorous leaders instead of following the law, as they knew it?  Now ask yourself…  Will I remain in the Katholyc church today?
