Taking advantage of this, the great enemy of souls, who led the human race astray in times of old afier gods many and lords manv, rested not till he had seduced the Christian Church into like error: turning Christians aside, first, from Christ to Saint and Angel mediators and then, from pure and spiri tual worship, to the worship of images and pictures.

This book was released on 2012-02-18 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the background of the revealed, diptych, ecumenical icon of the Divine Heart of God the Father Encompassing All Hearts is presented, together with the related Consecration (Seal) Prayer to the Almighty Father. The icon apologia and canon are elucidated. The ecumenical importance of the icon of the Divine Heart for the universal Church is addressed, together with the basis for the icon in Sacred Scripture and Tradition, as well as its meaning for our present times and eschatological future. The aims of the icon, history of God the Father in iconography, and pertinent Church Council decrees are explored. The history of the first icon of the Eternal Father in the Catholic Church is given, with evidence of the Divine Paternal Heart, including Scriptural evidence, and the history/revelations of this second icon of the Father in the Catholic Church. A summary theology of the Divine Heart icon is outlined, with relevance to the sacred liturgy, Catholic/Orthodox mysticism, the era of the eighth day and deification of man, the universal call to holiness, and the de-Christianization of our times.

Download or read book Bible Lessons For Catholics written by Mary E. Walsh and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Walsh, the author, was born in a Roman Catholic family in Ireland. Her forebears for many generations back were confirmed believers in the doctrines of the papacy. Baptized into the Roman Church when only one day old, she continued a faithful communicant of that religious body for 20 years. Then, becoming interested in reading the Sacred Scriptures, she was led by her studies to renounce the papal faith. Thereafter devoting her energies to the propagation of the evangelical doctrines found in Holy Writ, she has had many years of success in teaching the gospel truths to others. This book does not propose to delve into the abstruse, philosophical discussions by notable theologians of the Roman Catholic Church, but rather presents a candid and practical study of the principal papal doctrines as they are taught to the rank and file of that sect.
