Good
morning, highly esteemed friends and Happy Sunday.
You are
welcome to today's edition of Sunday Special with the Celebrity Businessman.
Today's
topic is a question that I am expected to answer yes or no to.
Well,
let me state it unequivocally that except for the illumined Roman Catholic
Church members who are not up to 5%, others are nothing but idol worshippers.
In
order words, virtually all Catholic church members are idol worshippers.
Yes, I
am capable of defending this assertion at any ramification.
First
of all, what is an idol?
Let us
be sincere, factual and pragmatic here.
An idol
is an image or symbol that is worshipped as God.
Let me
make it explicit that representing God with an image is not bad. It is a nice
idea.
The
rationale behind representing God with an image is for your mind to assign a
proper dimension while making prayers.
Many
people cannot pray meaningfully without an image of God in their mind.
In one
of my previous articles where explained the importance of sound knowledge of
Kabbalah in the correct interpretation of the bible, I mentioned symbolism.
Symbolism,
which is a metaphysical study of symbols and signs, demystified this topic.
That is
why I have always been an advocate of the incorporating metaphysics into the
academic curriculum from primary school to the university.
Knowledge
of metaphysics will save a lot of people.
Symbolism
will make you understand that the images and symbols you are praying before are
not God, but representative that gives you an ideas about God so that your mind
will assign a proper dimension while making prayers.
So, you
are supposed to be praying to what the image represent, not the image itself.
Virtually
all Catholics pray to and worship images, not what the image represent and that
is why they are idol worshippers.
For
instance, they worship the blessed sacrament domiciled inside a monstrance, not
what the blessed sacrament really represents.
So, it
is a thing of the mind.
Knowledge
of symbolism separates Catholics who are idol worshippers from those who are
not.
Personally,
I have seen a lot of Catholic priest who always tell members that the blessed
sacrament is Jesus, which is totally wrong.
Catholics,
whenever you are knelling down before the statue of Virgin Maria, I expect you
to know that you are not praying to that image in from of you. Rather, you are
praying to the Mother God, otherwise called the great Madonna, who can protect
Her children with all her spiritual arsenals.
Whenever
you are in the chapel making prayers before the blessed sacrament, I expect you
to know that you are not praying to the bread domiciled in the monstrance.
Rather, you are invoking the covenant of sacrifice of shame made on your behalf
by the Mother God.
I am
also saying this to my esteemed friends who are traditional religion
practitioners. The images you pray to in your villages represent the Gods of
your fathers.
The
Marine Deity in your village whose image looks like a woman breastfeeding her
baby is a representative of Mother God, the Mother of all Mothers and great
Madonna.
That
Marine Deity is equivalent to what the Catholic church call Virgin Maria. They
are all manifestations of the Mother God.
The one
in your village is preferable because She understands your dialect and knows
your forefathers.
She
knows the provenance your problems even better than you do and has the
solutions.
Let me
stop here for today.
