Latest New Files and Updates

This ministry is possibly Asia’s largest, most informative, and definitely most unique and truthful lay-administered (or any other) Catholic web site.

We do not avoid reporting on “controversial” and delicate issues that most other Indian ministries ignore as if they did not exist. We do not seek to be popular with the powers-that-be, but rather confront them, so that those on the wrong path may abjure their errors and souls may be saved.

We are conservative in our outlook, faithful to Tradition, to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and to the dogmatic teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church on Divine Revelation.

We oppose liberal, progressivist and modernistic ideologies that seek to reinvent Catholicism.

We pray for the Holy Father daily, and unreservedly accept all those pronouncements of his that do not stray or differ from the 2000-year old Faith of our Fathers.

We are avowedly pro-life.

We believe in ecumenical efforts (with other humanly-founded Christian denominations) and in interreligious dialogue (with people of other faiths) only insofar as they do not compromise the primacy of the Office of St. Peter and of the Roman Catholic Church and that are accompanied by the preaching of the Good News and the unicity of Jesus Christ and genuine evangelization (Dominus Iesus, Ecclesia in Asia).

We believe in inculturating the Gospel but do not condone the Hinduisation and syncretization of the rites and rituals of the Church in India under the guise of inculturation and adaptation.

We stand for the revival of the Gregorian Chant and the Latin (Tridentine Latin Rite) Mass (for those who do not know it, the Latin Mass has never been revoked, read Benedict XVI’s Summorum Pontificum, and every Bishop is obliged to permit at least one centre for offering the Latin Mass in his diocese, although they most unfortunately don’t, or won’t.)

We reject the Indian Rite squatting “Mass” because approval of its Twelve Points of Adaptation was hurriedly and fraudulently obtained from Rome by a coterie of Indian Bishops without consultation with the laity, religious and priests of the Indian Church, without consulting all of our Bishops, and despite firm opposition from some of them and many good priests and laity.

The Indian Rite Mass was imposed on the hapless faithful by an Indian Cardinal in Rome and his priest brother who was appointed by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India to head their National Biblical, Catechetical and Liturgical Centre (NBCLC) that heralded a tsunami of liturgical abuse and paganization of the Holy Mass and provided fertile soil for the flourishing of the seditious and New Age Catholic Ashrams Movement.

We oppose and expose (Ephesians 5:11) those Catholics in positions of authority and influence, especially in the Indian Church, whether lay or religious or clerical, who condone error by silence, and who refuse to abjure their publicised errors, whether theological or liturgical or New Age, thus endangering the eternal salvation of those souls whom God has entrusted to their pastoral care.

The Internet & social media have become the primary vehicles for the propagation of these errors, and this ministry is completing fourteen years of combating these same errors and exposing their proponents by means of this web site (and for eight years prior to that by other means.

All information is thoroughly documented before it is made available to the Catholic reader.

Corrections and criticisms are most welcome, but this ministry reserves the right to publish them; only the identities are revealed of those who refuse to be in submission to Church authority, publicise their wrong ideologies and practices, and thus affect the spiritual lives of other Catholics.

It must be clearly understood that the articles and reports published by this ministry are meant for the consumption of Catholics only. They are meant to inform, edify, educate, catechize, spiritually enlighten and equip (mainly Indian) Catholics for spiritual warfare especially in a time when most of our priests are theologically liberal, and New Age and syncretism are rampant in the Church.

The contents of our web site are not meant to offend Protestants (who obviously don’t believe the same things as Catholics do which is the reason why they’re Protestant) or Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims who do not believe in the same personal God as Christians do (yes, Muslims don’t, Allah is not the same as the God of the Bible*). *See file title and link on page 10

But we may be excused if the contents of our web site offend very “good” Catholics, many of them leaders in lay ministries, who dodge these issues (the ones that we write about) in their Covenant Communities, in their prayer meetings, in their praise and worship gatherings, in their retreat preaching, in fact every time they come face to face with error (which is pretty much most of the time, I would say, from my thirty-four years of learning experience); they have to please man (maybe their bishop, maybe the religious order to which their meeting place belongs, maybe someone up in the chain of charismatic leadership who doesn’t want “controversy” to flare up etc.)

As for most members of these communities, their absolute and unquestioning loyalties apparently lie with the (Catholic charismatic) organizations that they belong to, to their little groups and cells, to their leaders of those groups, and to their “elders” (never mind that these “elders” may be ignorant, poorly informed or biased against this ministry!), and not to the truth or to the Church.

The number of visitors to this site continues to increase and so do those readers who write to us recognizing that this is a prophetic ministry. However, we regret that we have lost some good friends along the way, the only reason for that apparently being this ministry’s uncompromising exposure of error across the board.

I’m very sorry to lose my friends but this is the price I have to pay for doing what nobody else will.

This founder of this Catholic ministry lives “by Faith” since 1993, and we greatly appreciate the moral, logistical and intercessory support of our many well-wishers and supporters and the financial support of a few generous benefactors without whose combined and unsolicited help we could never have accomplished what we have. They are remembered in our daily prayers.

Our two Bangalore-based web masters do all our work for free. God bless them

We are most thankful to our Heavenly Father who has been our dependable Provider (Genesis 22:14) in helping us to meet all our temporal needs through the goodness of like-minded individuals from all over the Catholic world, and even through a few non-Christians, and for His teaching us, not without a fair bit of reluctance and pain, to tithe and give alms to the extent of more than the Old Testament’s one-tenth mandate.

We are thankful to God the Holy Spirit for commissioning us (Isaiah 30:8) to carry the heavy cross of this ministry out of love for Jesus Christ and for the continuous discernment and spiritual guidance that we receive by prayer as well as through a few lay individuals and holy priests who are very dedicated to the orthodoxy and orthopraxis of Holy Mother Church.

A friend of ours owns a blog which posts some of our files (mainly reports) after they are uploaded on our web site. He informs me that they can be accessed at http://ephesians511blog.com/.

If one subscribes to the blog, one will be receive some of the latest report of mine when after they are uploaded. If a reader posts any comments on the ephesians511 blog, and if they are allowed by the owner of the blog, they will be passed on to me for possible inclusion in the updates of my files.

I declare that I am not any shade of Traditionalist (of which there are several).

I am a Roman Catholic who is loyal to the Holy Father and to the 2000-year old orthodoxy and orthopraxis of the Roman Catholic Church.

Canon Law gives me the right -- and duty -- to respectfully make known my informed opinion “on matters which pertain to the good of the Church … to the rest of the Christian faithful”:

Canon law #212.3:According to the knowledge, competence, and prestige which they possess, they (the Christian faithful) have the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful, without prejudice to the integrity of faith and morals, with reverence toward their pastors, and attentive to common advantage and the dignity of persons.

I am not required to obey any teaching, even if coming from Rome, if it contradicts or is not in continuity with Revealed Truth and Tradition.

The power of the Pope is not unlimited: not only can he not change anything that is divinely instituted, but, being put there to build and not to destroy (cf. 2 Corinthians 10:8, he is enjoined through natural law not to sow confusion in the flock of Christ. –Catholic Dictionary of Theology (Dict. de Theol. Cath.,) II, col.2039-2040.

If my informed conscience convicts me that there is error to be found in an episcopal or collegial teaching that is not ex-cathedra, I am, under pain of sin, obliged to confront/admonish/expose such error:

Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it; and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them. –Pope St. Felix III

Source: http://quotecatholic.com/index.php/truth-wisdom/pope-st-felix-iii-not-to-oppose-error/

“Ascited by Pope Leo XIII, Pope Felix III admonished:

“An error which is not resisted is approved; a truth which is not defended is suppressed… He who does not oppose an evident crime is open to the suspicion of secret complicity.”

It seems indisputable, then,that we must resist error — even from a pope, who may fall into such outside the parameters of the infallibility of his office and most particularly in his personal judgments.
