ANG BIBLIA: BANAL NA AKLAT NG IGLESIA KATOLIKA!

Sa mga mangangaral ng Iglesia Protestante, Iglesia Ni Cristo® at iba pang mga bagong sulpot lamang na mga iglesia, ang inyong pinanaligan at pinaghuhugutan ng aral ay isang AKLAT ng mga KATOLIKO!

Pope Damasus I was the bishop of Rome from October 366 to his death. He presided over the Council of Rome of 382 that determined the canon or official list of sacred scripture. He spoke out against major heresies in the church and encouraged production of the Vulgate Bible with his support for Jerome.

Council of Rome of 382 and the Biblical canon

One of the important works of Pope Damasus was to preside in the Council of Rome of 382 that determined the canon or official list of Sacred Scripture. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, states: A council probably held at Rome in 382 under Damasus gave a complete list of the canonical books of both the Old Testament and the New Testament (also known as the 'Gelasian Decree' because it was reproduced by Gelasius in 495), which is identical with the list given at Trent. American Catholic priest and historian William Jurgens stated: "The first part of this decree has long been known as the Decree of Damasus, and concerns the Holy Spirit and the seven-fold gifts. The second part of the decree is more familiarly known as the opening part of the Gelasian Decree, in regard to the canon of Scripture: De libris recipiendis vel non recipiendis. It is now commonly held that the part of the Gelasian Decree dealing with the accepted canon of Scripture is an authentic work of the Council of Rome of 382 A.D. and that Gelasius edited it again at the end of the fifth century, adding to it the catalog of the rejected books, the apocrypha. It is now almost universally accepted that these parts one and two of the Decree of Damasus are authentic parts of the Acts of the Council of Rome of 382 A.D." (Jurgens, Faith of the Early Fathers)

Jerome, the Vulgate and the Canon

Pope Damasus appointed Jerome as his confidential secretary. Invited to Rome originally to a synod of 382 convened to end the schism of Antioch, he made himself indispensable to the pope, and took a prominent place in his councils. Jerome spent three years (382–385) in Rome in close intercourse with Pope Damasus and the leading Christians. Writing in 409, Jerome remarked, "A great many years ago when I was helping Damasus, bishop of Rome with his ecclesiastical correspondence, and writing his answers to the questions referred to him by the councils of the east and west..."

In order to put an end to the marked divergences in the western texts of that period, Damasus encouraged the highly respected scholar Jerome to revise the available Old Latin versions of the Bible into a more accurate Latin on the basis of the Greek New Testament and the Septuagint, resulting in the Vulgate. According to Protestant biblical scholar, F.F. Bruce, the commissioning of the Vulgate was a key moment in fixing the biblical canon in the West.

Jerome devoted a very brief notice to Damasus in his De Viris Illustribus, written after Damasus' death: "he had a fine talent for making verses and published many brief works in heroic metre. He died in the reign of the emperor Theodosius at the age of almost eighty". Damasus may be the author of the anonymous Carmen contra paganos (song against the pagans).

CBCP News: Pope names Tagle among top-ranking cardinals

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. RCAM AOC

By Roy Lagarde CBCP News

May 1, 2020

Manila, Philippines

Pope Francis on Friday has elevated Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle to the order of “cardinal bishops”, the highest rank within the College of Cardinals.

Tagle and Cardinal Beniamino Stella are the newest members of the group, joining the ranks of 12 others who are mostly from the Latin rite and three cardinal patriarchs from the Oriental Churches.

The College of Cardinals has three ranks: cardinal deacons, cardinal priests, and cardinal bishops.

Cardinal bishops hold jurisdiction over a church in a suburb of Rome, while working in departments of the Roman Curia, the central administration of the church.

Cardinal deacons, often called “the pope’s cabinet”, are mostly curial officials, while cardinal priests are those working in dioceses all over the world.

It is also from the ranks of cardinal bishops that the Dean of College of Cardinals is elected. The dean presides at the conclave in the case of “sede vacante”, a period when there is no pope.

The dean also represents the Holy See during the sede vacante, and asks the pope-elect if he accepts the role.

There are customarily six cardinal bishops from the Latin Church until Pope Francis broke the tradition and appointed more of them.

The new additions to the group were deemed necessary as one of its members, Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai, turned 80, the retirement age for cardinals, last February. Six other members had been over the age of 80, making them ineligible to enter a conclave.

The former Manila archbishop left the Philippines in February to assume his post as prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, a powerful Vatican office overseeing the church’s vast mission territories.

Also known as “Propaganda Fidei,” its prefect is also known as the “red pope” because of its considerable power in the Roman Curia and the appointment of bishops in mission lands.

Since his elevation as cardinal, he was also given the church of St. Felix of Cantalice in the Centocelle as his “titular church”.

Cardinal Tagle’s new appointment was made on May 1, the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Incidentally, he was appointed to the top Vatican post last Dec. 8, 2019, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.

Iglesia Ni Cristo: Proudly Philippine Founded

FELIX Y. MANALO: HEAD AND FOUNDER OF THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO®

HISTORY: Felix Manalo Founded the Iglesia Ni Cristo® in the Philippines in 1914

"Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), (Tagalog: “Church of Christ”) Cristo also spelled Kristo, international Christian religious movement that constitutes the largest indigenous Christian church in the Philippines. It was established by Félix Ysagun Manalo in 1914." -Encyclopedia Britannica Online

Felix Manalo: Founder

"IGLESIA NI CRISTO began in the Philippines in 1914 with the vision of founder Félix Manalo syncretized with aspects of Christianity. Manalo, disillusioned with both Catholicism and Protestantism, started the group with his own revelations and interpretations of Scripture. He became the INC’s first executive minister." -World Magazine

A Former INC™ rebutts INC™ Defenders

Ang 'PAGLUHOD' ba ay katumbas ng 'PAGSAMBA'?

Huling Sugo: Aral na Hindi Pinaniwalaan ni Felix Manalo hanggang noon lamang 1922?

Si Félix Manálo, na kilalá ring Ka Felix, ang tagapagtatag ng Iglesia Ni Cristo, bagama’t sa mga opisyal na talâ ng nasabing simbahan, siyá ay tinawag na Unang Tagapamahalang Pangkalahatan at Huling Sugo ng Diyos sa mga Huling Araw.

Isinilang si Manalo sa Taguig noong 10 Mayo1886. Ang kaniyang mga magulang ay sina Mariano Ysagun at Bonifacia Manalo, na isang debotong Katoliko. Nang yumao ang ina, bilang pagpapahalaga rito ay pinilì niyang maging Manalo ang kaniyang apelyido. Bagama’t lumaki sa aral ng Simbahang Katolika, naging mapagtanong ang isip ni Manalo kayâ lumahok siyá sa iba’t ibang sekta upang masagot ang kaniyang mga tanong. Naging tagasunod siyá ng Colorum, isang grupong nagdaraos ng paglalakbay sa isang banal na bundok. Pagkaraan, nilisan niya ang Simbahang Katolika at naging pastor sa Methodist Episcopalian Church. Tumigil siyá ng pag-aaral nang mamatay ang kaniyang ina at nang bumalik sa pag-aaral ay nagpatalâ sa Presbyterian Bible School. Nakakilála niya ang grupong Christian Mission at nag-aral sa Manila College of the Bible sa loob ng apat na taón. Sa grupong ito, natutuhan niyang pahalagahan ang pagbibinyag sa pamamagitan ng paglubog sa tubig. Naging tagapangaral siyá ng Salita ng Diyos kabilang sa isang grupong nakilalang Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Pinakasalan niya nang mga panahong ito si Tomasa Sereneo na taga-Paco, Maynila.

Naging miyembro siyá ng Seventh Day Adventism at nang yumao ang kaniyang asawa, nagpakasal naman siyá kay Honorata de Guzman, na kabílang sa nasabing sekta. Ngunit sumapit ang panahon na kinukuwestiyon na niya ang pangingilin ng grupo kapag araw ng Sabado. Nang hindi makatanggap ng kasiya-siyang sagot, nagbitiw siyá bilang ministro noong 1913. Nagtatag siyá ng sariling grupo noong 1913, na kilalá ngayong Iglesia Ni Cristo (nang una ay Kristo ang baybay). Ipinatalâ ang Iglesia noong 27 Hulyo 1914, ang araw ng pagsisimula ng Unang Digmaang Pandaigdig. Noong 1922, pinalutang ng Iglesia ang idea na si Manalo ang “huling sugo ng Diyos,” dahil para sa kanila, ang kanilang tagapagtatag ay maihahambing kay Moises o kay Pablo ang Apostol. Ang isa pang dahilan ay upang mapatatag ang pamumunò ni Manalo sapagkat may isang sektor na nagtangkang umagaw ng pamamahala ng simbahan. Yumao si Felix Manalo noong12 Abril 1963.

Mabilis na lumago ang mga aral ng Iglesia. Noong 1948, mayroon itong 60,000 miyembro, na naging 200,000 noong 1960. Nagkaroon ito ng mga simbahan hindi lámang sa Filipinas kundi sa 75 iba pang bansa sa buong mundo. Ngayon, mayroon na itong 1,250 lokal na kapilya at 35 katedral sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa. Mayroon din itong 21 kongregasyon sa Estados Unidos. Noong 27 Hulyo 2007, sa ika-93 anibersaryo ng pagkatatag ng INC, isang panandang pangkasaysayan ang inilagak ng National Historical Institute (NHI) sa bahay na sinilangan ni Manalo sa Barangay Calzada, Tipas, Taguig. Idineklara rin ng dating Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ang Hulyo27 bilang “Araw ng Iglesia ni Cristo.” (AEB)

Ang Kasinungalingan ng Isang Bagong Kaanib ng INC™ 1914

"Wala naman sigurong KATO-LIKO na magsasabi na fake ito", ang sabi po ni Wayne Dotor sa kanyang komento sa YouTube video ng INC™-1914.

Tunay nga pong "dating" seminarista ang bagong kaanib ng INC™ na tatag ni Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo noong 1914. Ang hindi lamang po makatotohanan ay ang sabihin niyang siya'y lumabas ng seminaryo sapagkat napagtanto niya na mali ang aral ng Iglesia Katolika.  Ang KATOTOHANAN sa likod ng kanyang pag-anib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914 ay sapagkat natagpuan niya, ayon sa ating kapatid na Charles Patrick, ang kanyang kasalukuyang asawa. Siya po ay lumabas sa seminaryo mahigit 4 na taon na bago pa siya nagpasyang umanib sa iglesia ni G. Felix Manalo. Hindi raw po niya tinapos ang 4-na taon ng Pilosopiya at nag-aral at nagtapos bilang isang guro.  Noong siya'y naging guro ay doon pa lamang niya nakilala ang kanyang kasintahang kaanib ng INC™. At dahil inibig  niya ng lubos ang kanyang kasintahan kaya't pinagpasyahan niyang IPAGPALIT ang kanyang BIRTHRIGHT bilang Katoliko sa kanyang asawa.  Pinagpalit niya ang tunay na iglesia sa isang peke.

Marami pong mga kwentong katulad ng kay Ginoong Joebert Gavieta. Dating Katoliko, umanig sa INC™ alinsunod sa kagustuhan ng kanilang mga minamahal. At para sa isang debotong INC™ ang pag-aasawa ng isang Katoliko ay isang paraan upang hikayatin sila sa iglesiang tatag ni G. Felix Manalo. At para sa kanila, ang gawaing ito ay kalugud-lugod sa Ama upang maligtas sa dagat-dagatang apoy ang mga Katoliko na "sumasamba sa mga inanyuhang kahoy at bato."

Ngunit para sa mga TUNAY na KAANIB sa TUNAY na IGLESIA NI CRISTO ~ ang Iglesia Katolika na "sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo" (Pasugo Abril 1966, p. 46) ang PAGSISINUNGLING ay isang uri ng PANLILINLANG. At ang PANLILINLANG ay hindi katangian ng isang taong maka-Diyos sapagkat ang Diyos ay HINDI manlilinlang kundi ang DIABLO! Ang Diyos ay DAAN, KATOTOHANAN at ang BUHAY.  

Kaya't sa ating pagsisiyasat, hindi po tayo dapat umanib sa mga iglesiang MINAMALI ang aral ng iba, NAGSISINUNGLING sa kanilang mga turo at NANLILINLANG sa kanilang mga aral. Iwasan po sila at itakwil ang gayong mga paniniwala. Dito po tayo DAPAT sa TUNAY na Iglesia ni Cristo ~ itong Iglesiang tatag mismo ni Cristo noong 33AD at hindi ang tatag lamang ng tao nitong 1914!
 

Why is Pope Francis a moral authority?

1.3 Bilyon na po ang bilang ng mga Katoliko sa buong mundo!

400,000 Urban Poor Families Tinulungan ng Caritas

Aabot na sa P400 milyon o 400-libong urban poor families ang nabigyan ng gift certificates sa pamamagitan nang pakikipagtulungan ng mga negosyante sa Caritas Manila.

Ayon kay Fr. Anton CT Pascual, executive director ng Caritas Manila, ang mga gift certificate ay magagamit ng bawat pamilya para sa kanilang pangunahing pangangailangan lalu’t marami ang walang hanapbuhay dahil sa umiiral na ‘enhanced community quarantine’.

Unang nakalikom ng P1.5-bilyon ang top 20 business group sa Metro Manila na bahagi ng Philippine Disaster Resilience Roundation para magbahagi ng tulong sa urban poor community o ang Project Ugnayan.

“Tayo ay ginamit ng mga kumpanya para makapag-distribute ng mga gift certificates, ito ay mas mabilis na puwedeng gamitin. Kasi P1,000 bawat poor family na ating ipamumudmod sa bawat Parokya,” ayon kay Fr. Pascual.

Ayon kay Fr. Pascual, kabilang sa mga benepisyaryo ang 10 diyosesis sa Metro Manila kabilang na ang Diyosesis ng Bulacan, Antipolo, Laguna at Imus.

At bilang pagtugon sa social distancing policy, pinapayuhan ang mga benepisyaryo na hintayin na lamang sa kanilang tahanan ang mga parish priest sa kanilang Parokya.

“Kasi mahalaga na manatili ang ating physical distancing. At ang mga mahihirap ay hindi na kinakailangan na pumila. Hindi na nila kailangan pumunta sa simbahan. Ang simbahan ang pupunta sa kanila,” ayon kay Fr. Pascual.

Tinatayang may 50 milyong katao sa buong Luzon ang naapektuhan ng pinapairal na community quarantine kabilang na dito ang higit sa limang milyong manggagawa sa Metro Manila.

INC™ Invaded the Vatican and Waved INC™ Flag at the Papal Palace Window

[The title was just a sarcasm. That flag isn't belonging to the Iglesia Ni Cristo® a church founded by Mr. Felix Y. Manalo in the Philippines in 1914. Although some members use the same symbol in many occasions as their identity symbol but that's the ITALIAN FLAG!]

Italian Bishops Conference donates ten million Euro to Caritas Italy

The major donation, is aimed at supporting the diocesan Caritas in their work to support people in difficulty due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

By Vatican News

The Italian Bishops Conference said in a statement the 10 million Euro donation will be distributed to the 220 diocesan Caritas throughout Italy.

The donation will be used to identify the most urgent needs, giving priority to forms of economic support for families already in situations of hardship. This includes the purchase of basic necessities for families and people in difficulty, support for lonely elderly and frail people, and the maintenance of services for people in situations of extreme poverty, such as canteens with take-away services or sheltered dormitories.

The director of Caritas Italy, Fr Francesco Soddu said, "this extraordinary donation from the Italian Episcopal Conference (IEC) is a concrete sign of hope and comfort for the diocesan Caritas (network). In this way, the local Churches will be able to continue the strong dynamism of charity".

Caritas Italy is also renewing its call for solidarity by inviting everyone to support the initiatives and work of the dioceses and local Caritas that are aiding people in difficulty and in increasingly precarious conditions.
