Catholic Bishop: «John Paul II used belt to whip himself»

Pope John Paul II whipped himself with a belt, even on vacation, and slept on the floor as acts of penitence and to bring him closer to Christian perfection.

Bit by bit we get the knowledge about what Pope John Paul II was doing behind closed doors.

This information is published in a book was written by Monsignor Slawomir Oder, the postulator, or main promoter, for John Paul’s canonization cause and was released Tuesday. It was based on the testimony of the 114 witnesses and boxes of documentation Oder gathered on John Paul’s life to support the case.

The book «Why He’s a Saint» also includes previously unpublished speeches and documents written by John Paul, including one 1989 signed memo in which he said he would resign if he became incapacitated.

At a news conference Tuesday, Oder defended John Paul’s practice of self-mortification, which some faithful use to remind them of the suffering of Jesus on the cross.

Cardinal Ratzinger looks at the aging Pope, soon to be the next Pontiff.

«It’s an instrument of Christian perfection» Oder said, responding to questions about how such a practice could be condoned considering Catholic teaching holds that the human body is a gift from God.

In the book, Oder wrote that John Paul frequently denied himself food — especially during the holy season of Lent — and «frequently spent the night on the bare floor». messing up his bed in the morning so he wouldn’t draw attention to his act of penitence.

«But it wasn’t limited to this. As some members of his close entourage in Poland and in the Vatican were able to hear with their own ears, John Paul flagellated himself. In his armoire, amid all the vestments and hanging on a hanger, was a belt which he used as a whip and which he always brought to Castel Gandolfo», the papal retreat where John Paul vacationed each summer.

While there had long been rumors that John Paul practiced self-mortification, the book provides the first confirmation and concludes John Paul did so as an example of his faith.

My comment:

There is absolutely no verse in the New Testament of the Bible that opens up for such practices. Its another example of the Pope listening to evil spirits and demons. The Great Commandment of the Bible it self demands from us, that we love our neighbor as our selves.

Pope John Paul II kisses the Koran

The Bible surely do not permit any Christian to flung his belt on his neighbor, nor to harm his own body.

Why do the Popes disobey Jesus of the Bible?

Simply because they all reject the Word of God. Because of this rejection, they have never been connected to the Holy Spirit.

I have for a long time been of the opinion that Pope John Paul II was a secret devoted Muslim. His kissing of the Koran, his promotion of a new religion of all faiths One God, and finally inflicting him self with pain, makes my case stronger.

If the Pope of Rome had converted to Islam, he would most likely have been an active figure during an Islamic Shiit Ashura festival. Just take a look at these insane perversions.

Self pain inflcited to honor Allah.

A festival to honor Allah, full of pain, blood and spiritual death and destruction.

A Muslim festival to honor a dead cult started by an Arab called Muhammad. There is no end of wickedness.

Swedish mayor calls support of Israel a form of extremism

«We accept neither Zionism nor anti-Semitism.They are extremes who put themselves above other groups, seeing others as something lesser»

Mayor of Malmø Ilmar Reepalu warns Swedish Jews not to support Israel.

This is a statement by Ilmar Reepalu, mayor of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city. He spoke in an interview published in a Swedish newspaper on Wednesday, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Swedish Jews are upset about comments made this week by the mayor of Malmo, who said anti-Semitism and Zionism were both forms of «unacceptable extremism», and urged local Jews to disassociate themselves from Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip.

«I wish the Jewish Community would distance itself from Israel’s violations of the rights of the civilian population in Gaza», he said.

«I wish that representatives of Muslims in Malmo would clearly say that the Jews in Malmo shouldn’t be mixed up in the Israel-Palestine conflict».

«These statements and other events in Malmo are making the Jewish community feel very uncomfortable and some people, especially the young, are leaving the city,». George Braun, the president of the Jewish community in Gothenburg, about 250 kilometers from Malmo, told Haaretz.

Malmo’s Jewish community has complained about harassment by extreme left-wing and right-wing activists, but mostly by radical elements from the city’s Muslims, who make up about 15 percent of the population of 250,000.

My comment:

Zionism basically is an ideology based on the Bible. That the Jewish people has a right to return to their ancient homeland in the Middle East, a land given them by God as an everlasting procession.

When the Swedish mayor calls Zionism for «extremism», He basically sides with the Ayatollah of Iran, that wants to see the Jewish state of Israel destroyed.

When we compare and equalize anti-Semitism and Zionism,  we basically support the belief that being anti-Jewish and pro-Jewish is equally bad. To support the Jews right to a homeland, is in the mind of this Swedish politician, a crime that is comparable with the views of Nazi-Germany. That the World would be a better place, if there were no Jews among us who believe in the promises of the Bible.

Israel, Royce Rolls of emergency aid and environmental care

Weekend comment

by Mike Adams

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Medical Corps is the Rolls Royce of emergency medical care. Israel is also a World leader in a bid to save our Planets environment.

On Sunday 17th January, the reporter, Dr. Jennifer Ashton, remarked that the field hospital of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Medical Corps was “the Rolls Royce of emergency medical care”.

It was efficiently set up in just eight hours and equipped for complicated surgical procedures. None of other international medical facilities can treat the seriously wounded as do the Israelis. Surgical teams from Great Britain and doctors from Columbia have joined forces with IDF-personnel to handle hundreds of cases a day.

When considering how long it took for other field hospitals on the western half of Hispaniola to be up and running, I would say that the IDF could be compared to another supercar, the SSC Ultimate Aero, tested as the fastest production car in the world. Top speed 257 mph, 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.

On the subject of cars, a national daily in my home country of Norway featured an article that informed the readers of 68 brand-new models to be introduced in 2010. The eye-opener is that half a dozen hybrids and electric cars are on the list. Norway’s own mini-sized electrical cars, Think and Buddy, will face some stiff competition. The foreign manufacturers have obviously seen the success that the hybrid car Toyota Prius has had, and are now willing to take a calculated risk in the land of the midnight sun and high import tariffs.

My thoughts went to Israel;

I wondered what they were doing in the way of promoting environmentally friendly cars?

My research showed that lower tax rates on electrical cars and higher taxes on polluting cars were measures that had been implemented, but the infrastructure to service thousands of electrically driven vehicles is also soon in place.

A California-based company with the implicative name “Better Place” is currently in the process of building 500,000 charging points and 200 battery-exchange stations – and that’s just in Israel. The project has even been endorsed by President Shimon Peres. “Better Place” is based on a collaboration with the French car-maker Renault, and Japanese Nissan that provides the battery technology.

Other countries in the “Better Place”-network include Denmark, Australia, United States, Canada and Japan. These same countries also seeing the benefits in alternative and renewable energy sources – solar, wind and tidal.

Not so with Norway. Even with long-established hydro electrical plants, they’re environmental latecomers focused only on the black gold of the North Sea. Besides this, the sitting government is rampant with anti-Semitism, and will do absolutely nothing to promote “Better Place” or other inventions pertaining to Israeli technology that are politically incorrect.

We have a prime example in our new Minister of Transport and Communications, Magnhild Meltveit Kleppa, a mealy-mouthed representative from the agrarian Centre Party, who dithers when anything slightly controversial turns up.

The new decade will continue to see the official Norway, with Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere in the front line, blessing Hamas with petroleum dollars, and cursing Israeli innovation with a deafening silence. Norway sees no end of oil or facilitating the Arab production in Middle East.

Norwegian politicians are more than satisfied with continuing the status quo in fossil-fuelling the transport sector. Air-quality is only a domestic issue during prolonged freezing conditions when the wind stops blowing, as was the case in our major cities just recently. The civil administrators are in a quandary; the solution is electrifying simple. A car population that is emission-free. Look to Israel!

The founder and CEO of “Better Place” is an Israeli, Shai Agassi, and merely one of the many innovators among God’s chosen people around the world who are saving the planet by creative reconstruction and stewardship. Thanks to the Jews, there’s always something new under the sun.
