IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH A CULT.

RICK ROSS, GUARDIAN JOURNALIST HAS WRITTEN THAT THE THREE SIGNS OF A CULT ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1. charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the

group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority

The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of the group and its leader.

2. A process of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as coercive persuasion or thought reform, commonly called “braineashing”.

3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.

1

In the RCC this charismatic leader is the pope and to a smaller extent, cardinals and archbishops.

The pope has and us, often an object of veneration and worship.

Look at the millions who go to Rome and bring back the image of the Pope on pens, tea towels, tee shirts, cups, etc etc.

One pope some popes ago was issuing crucifixes with himself on it instead of Jesus.

The pope is accountable to no one and the semi divine papacy is a central defining element of RCC – ism.

“Many members of the group doing things in their own interests but in the interests of the leaders and group”.

Examples:

Leaving the RCC all your property and money instead of leaving it to family and friends.

Not wearing condoms because of RCC teaching and leaving yourself open to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases- AN ESPECIAL PROBLEM IN AFRICA.

Rejecting LGBT family and friends as “disordered”.

Living your life by ideas and beliefs not grounded in reality and science.

All of us as Catholics have been brainwashed by the RCC. I was. I cant believe now how I fell for all the brainwashing.

2

A PROCESS OF INDOCTRINATION

Well, on this one the RCC is certainly cult like with its insistence on having it’s own denominational schools and colleges.

Father Denis Faul often said that there was a Catholic way ot teaching everything – maths, history, geography, science etc.

And the Jesuits said: “Give me a boy of seven and he’s mine for life”.

Like many others I had RCC doctrine beaten into me by violent and sadistic “Christian” Brothers, priests and nuns.

Today in Northern Ireland RC education is run by the CCMS – a body I have seen to be cruel and unjust to teachers and kids.

The poor masses around the globe were, and are still being brainwashed by the RCC.

The RCC has always been into thought control and reform.

Phonsie in Waterford would be a thought control and reform man – even on the subject of women’s bodies!

And if you disagree with them they expel and shun you.

Do people know that there are two kinds of excommunicated persons- the “tolerati” and “vitandus” – those who can be socially tolerated and those who must be shunned absolutely.

Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.

Here we really go!

Catholics handing their money over to priests and remembering them in their will?

The corrupt Vatican bank.

Bishops spending millions on their houses.

Bishops and priests:

Sexually abusing children!

Sexually abusing men!

Sexually abusing women.

Sexually abusing seminarians.

Sexually abusing nuns!

Vatican as gay mafia!

Priesthood as gay profession.

Seminaries as gay hunting grounds.

Priests and seminarians having sex on altars.

I am probably, and viciously, one of the most harangued posters on this blog. And I suspect that all, or most, of my attackers are Romanist priests.👹
Like any prominent cult members (Roman Catholicism is, most undoubtedly, a cult…of the papacy), these have sought, and failed 😅, to silence me. These ‘men’ do not like truth, especially about themselves.
Is anyone really surprised, given the increasing number of reports concerning the sexual rape or sodomisation of the young by Romanist priests?😢

No one is afraid of commentary which challenges, calls out and names wrongdoing, abuse and criminality – we all engage in this necessary debate, including many good and committed priests, but we must never tolerate the hate inciting vulgarity of the dysfunctional, dangerous Magna. It is regrettable that Magna is given such dominance and a platform to incite hatred. It is a dangerous, poisonous hatred. There is a total denial by him/it/ her to recognise that there are many, many priests who share an abhorrence about all abuse and who have spoken against it, many, like myself who, in our daily lives seek to help anyone who is in need of any kind. There are priests who have also spoken with, accompanied and been of support to survivors and families. I do not accept that the vile, pernicious, hate inciting rant of Magna will ever be of use to any survivor or will ever bring healing to anyone. The ranting in hatred satisfies his urge for revenge ever since expulsion from the seminary. His fixation is simply, faux outrage. I think we can take it for certain that this hate monger has never ever or never will give comfort to any survivor. How could it be possible for any heart to have room for kindness, compassion or caring when there is so much vile, poison and hatred present?

IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH A CULT?
That’s a very thought-provoking article, Pat, and a first-rate set of comments by yourself.
But for myself, I’m not sure.
From what I ever saw of it there actually isn’t any universal worldwide standard Roman Catholicism. It’s very different from country to country; even within the same city religious practices can be very different in middle-class and working-class areas.
So I don’t think that there’s a Roman Catholic cult.
It’s more that there’s a conglomerate of many different cults.
All the Religious Orders have their own distinct Spirituality; there’s Jesuit Spirituality, Norbertine Spirituality (remember Brendan Smyth), Salesian Spirituality and so on.
And then of course there are the networks of Parish groups; Parish Padre Pio Prayer Groups, Parish Rosary Prayer Groups (ACHTUNG – Achill Island) and so on.
In effect they’re all creat risks for vulnerable people (adults, it’s true, but vulnerable adults) yet there’s not even any monitoring of them, let alone policing.
That’s the big problem.
The Roman Church is providing a cloak that protects a conglomeration of cults, big and small; all being let do as they like, free of any fear that they’ll ever be policed.
There’s the multitude of different wide-open gates; with each gate giving a particular set of wolves easy access to to a particular set of vulnerable sheep.
Have a look at this video here, view from 32 minutes along – Cardinal Nichols being questioned about the vetting of parishioner-volunteers. Of course there isn’t any.

The Inquiry was concerned with Child Protection; but there’s the same situation with parishes sending people to visit the housebound and the bedridden. It’s obviously a role that’s attractive to the wrong sort of people, kleptomaniacs for example. Yet from what I’ve heard a lot of parishes still have no real checks on the people that they’re send out.

Thankfully, the cultic quality of the RCC is diminishing, even as we speak.
This was stronger and more effective in past decades than it is today. But a serendipitous combination of circumstances, including a better-educated laity and the growing exposition of cult leaders (the clergy) as impious frauds, tricksters, hypocrites, and sexual perverts has severely and irreparably (perhaps even fatally) weakened their power over others.
Today RC clergy are not so much awed as laughed at for being grossly out of touch with the lives of people who actually work for a living instead of sponging off others. Yes, RC clergy are becoming passé, like the cult they managed so well, so badly (so to speak 🙄) for so many oppressive years.

I’m not so sure, Magna, that the Vatican II Cult is diminishing. Interesting article on ‘Pray, Tell’ today about the decline in ecumenism. Amongst other things the author included the following:

“On the very eve of this year’s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, online mobs of Catholics managed to make themselves so repellent that an invitation to use a Catholic church for an Episcopalian ordination collapsed. This “offer of hospitality” and “act of charity” extended by Bishop Barry Knestout of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond to his local Episcopalian colleagues ended up being refused by the Episcopalians who saw, rightly and sadly, that they had awakened such contempt in their Catholic brethren as to cause more problems and pain than the convenience of using their building was worth to anybody. What a splendid counter-witness on the eve of a week dedicated to Christians praying and working for unity!”

Elsewhere it was reported that they invoked Leo XIII and the bull Apostolicae Curae as justification for their actions.

I think you are overstating the usage of the words brainwashing and indoctrination. That may be very true of the past but I believe that people today are much more questioning and discerning about moral truths and personal conscience. While many now reject much of the church’s teachings on moral, sexual teachings, people want a spirituality of compassion, kindness, understanding, empathy and true, meaningful love. The life of Christ and his gospel are the inspiration and ideal for millions, a gospel that speaks of an all embracing love, justice and equality. Sadly, the Catholic Church burdened people with baggages of guilt, shame and abuse, forcing many to reject its teachings, walk away in disgust and we seem unable to make just amends in justice and in truthful accountability. I know I will spend the remainder of my ministry as a priest feeling an immense shame but I will continue to give as much of my time and energy simply caring for those in the Parish I am given to work in. Sometimes that effort alone yields fruit, other times I’m very questioning of the quality and effectiveness if my commitment. I have not, thankfully, abandoned the idealism of the gospel of Christ or of priesthood. My struggle is mine to cope with. I wish each day I could heal all horrible hurts inflicted on so many with a harshness, abuse and brutality that have left them in deep pain for life.

I understand your comment very well. I live every day in conversations with Jesus and try my best to live as according to the Gospel as I can. My concern lies with the author of the article, I too have experienced a closed shop and closing of ranks within my own parish, however, mostly with the parishoners themselves. The priests I know are no worse than the parishoners. It appears there is an emphasis on practicing religion rather than living the Gospel. Don’t be hard on yourself although self reflection is always good and remember we are all on a journey, some further ahead than others and the Catholic Church accompanies us on that journey. Some people may never learn or embrace Christ fully but the Church allows us time. Even hypocrites can change through time. And with regards to healing the hurts of people, I would like you to consider if you can heal one person in your lifetime then your life has been wortwhile May Our Lord Jesus be with you always.

The ‘vitandus’ form of excommunicate no longer exists as a ‘remedial’ 🤣 gesture by the Church and is excluded from the 1983 edition of the ‘Code of Canon Law’. But the fact that it did once feature as a canonical discipline (purely medicinal, of course 😂) proves two things: first, that the RCC was indeed a cult, since it was powerful enough to order all its members, on pain of excommunication themselves, to shun completely (albeit with prescribed exceptions) anyone subject to such a measure; and second, that it is no longer powerful enough to act in such a high-handed, draconian way.
Thank heaven (or hell, depending on your point of view) for modernism, the perfect foil for the historical arrogance of institutional Roman Catholicism. No wonder Pope Leo XIII reacted so badly to the encroaching 20th century, with his condemnation of ‘modernism’. Leo knew the writing was on the Vatican walls for his kind of ecclesiology. And it has been downhill all the way for it ever since.
I suppose you could say that Catholics have had enough of being bullied by their clergy.

Only bigots and nut jobs would attempt to attach the word “cult” to the entire Church. No one with a tittle of wit would take such a ridiculous claim seriously. Even Joe Lollard sees Big Buck’s enthusiastic desire to portray the Church as a “cult” for the nonsense that it is – a bigoted, hate-filled fantasy.

At the same time, every human organisation, religious and secular – has the potential for cultism in SOME of their manifestations. Cults can arise anywhere. But to try and portray the entire reality of the Church as a “cult” does not hold water.

Typically ignored here by Buckley and his Buckbots are the life-giving dimensions of the Church. Most priests are not/were not abusers. We know that lives were destroyed by wolves in sheep’s’ clothing. But there were countless others who were/are what they were/are supposed to be.

And there were/are countless multitudes whose lives were/are blessed by being members of the Church.

So, I encourage and invite all priests, in their humanity, in awareness of the mission given and received, out of respect for the dignity of all people and in conscience, to stay unwaveringly with God, with parishioners and to never allow a vicious, morally thwarted, sick Magna to disciurage us.

On occasion I might go to the Cathedral for some high liturgy and good music, but really just for the aesthetics that bring me closer to the beauty of creation. I don’t need the other bits, especially the formulaic sermons that jump through hoops to justify some arcane point of theology or some idiotic teaching of the Catholic Church. I’m not worried about death or what happens after, and don’t need some concocted notion of a personalised afterlife flying around with wings. I’m happy to be absorbed in whatever fashion in to Creation and become part of something bigger and more significant than me. The sense of release and freedom from being free from the idiotic and sometimes dangerous influence of the Church and its functionaries is fantastic, especially being outside their world of guilt and blame and sin. I look back and am embarrassed at how I was taken in over the past years by the Church, its clergy, and its ‘teaching’. Good riddance.

Some think that she has been shabbily treated. But, that would not be surprising. The clerical apparatchiks make sure that they protect themselves at any cost. + Longley probably won’t go any further up the greasy pole after being seen to be careless with safeguarding, even if he did blame others. It was his responsibility to see that things were being done properly. He failed in that. I note that the VG of that time has also been moved and gone on / over to being the administrator / dean of the cathedral, and it may well be that his barely concealed hopes of an auxiliary bishop slot in Birmingham are pretty slim ( one of two or three that will be needed in the near future with imminent retirements and the recent translation of + Fatty Byrne to Newcastle). Mind you, you never can tell. Who would have thought that the new man for Northampton would have been elevated after all the news about Oscott over which he presided ?

Practise makes perfect, I suppose. There is definitely a whiff of something odd in that place, but it doesn’t seem to have done the erstwhile rector any harm.

Thankfully my 8 years of teaching brought much richness to my life and I thank God that I had the great opportunity of being an educator. Your reference to children is both ignorant and pathetic.

The catholic church per se isn’t a cult. There are however movements and institutions in the church such that are cults and alike.
Such as seminaries like for example Wonersh and Maynoth.

I suggest you seek counselling about this Mullaney obsession. Your posts are not remotely funny but rather sad. Speak to someone, you clearly need to talk. Don’t know the man and never met him but you have many unresolved issues and clearly unsuited for Priesthood. You need to get over their rejection of you like so many others on here who didn’t make it to Ordination. Get help and fast. This blog is not a place for you to get the obvious help you need son.

Those posting today who deny that the RCC is a cult ignore, or don’t know, the history of so-called ‘papal infallibility’ in the Church. This dogma is based on a highly questionable reliance on, and interpretation of, the gospel passages which construe the supremacy of Simon Peter as first among The Twelve and on Jesus’ apparent assurance to him that Hell would not and could not overcome the church, of which Simon Peter had supposedly been made its foundation on earth.

Before the 13th century, there was little or no mention of papal infallibility, either as a speculative theological concept, or as a biblical teaching. But the idea caught on in theological schools (as it would in a church that was highly authoritarian and draconian) and successive popes warmed to the pleasant consideration that they were an especial source of divine teaching.

The high watermark of this emperorial notion of papal supremacy was reached in 1870, with the decree ‘Pastor Aeternus’, in which the dogma of Papal Infallibility was defined.

The wheel of history had turned full circle. Popes were now effectively claiming a character of divinity…much like the emperors of Imperial Rome who believed themselves to be human deities.

If Papal Infallibility isn’t the supreme signature and seal of cultism, I really don’t know what is. 😅

As a survivor of a brutal, all night long, gang rape by three RCC priests when I was 15? To one who has gone from being a victim to a strong survivor? Who has worked the last 15 years blogging and exposing all the Crimes Against Humanity and all the Crimes Against the Children of the World by the Pedophile Pimps, Pedo priests and nuns, and abusive, degenerate priests, brothers, nuns and sisters who ran the infamous Industrial Schools and Homes, their Magdalene and Good Shepherd Laundries slave encampments, their brutal and deadly for fetuses, infants and children at their Women’s and Children’s Homes?

I say the Unholy Roman Catholic Cult of Pedophile Pimps, Pedophiles and you pew polishers who love and adore them? Ought to try to learn what is going to happen to you all when your Jesus said it would be better for you to hang a huge millstone around your neck and throw yourself into the deepest of lakes if by your actions you so much as harm a single hair on the head of a child or by your actions? Drive that child away from the love of God, which many of your pedophile priests and other degenerates? Sure did.

As far as I am concerned and a whole bunch of victims and survivors who stand behind me, and all the over three thousand victims of your degenrate cult who have committed suicide because of the evil done to them at the hands and dicks of disgusting priests? You are all condemned. each and every single one of you. And you are all bound for hell for all eternity. Plain and simple.

Your pedophile pimps, from Pope Francis to each and every Cardinal, Bishop and Archbishop who protected these pedophiles? All belong on death row, along with all the rest of your pedophiles you have hidden and protected. For your Crimes Against Humanity, your Crimes Against the Children of the World and for First Degree Murder for each and every victim who committed suicide.

But most catholic people are not like this, and the church is not like this in general.

They come into our churches and use them as a way to do awful things, and the people who cover for them are equally as bad and as culpable.

Again, let’s pass the buck and use the Scapegoat Defense. So are you of the Bill Donohue of the Catholic League line of vile and disgusting apologetics? It is atheists or homosexuals, or others invading your churches huh? Wow. But you know what? Since the Dallas Convention? YOU Catholics are still being busted raping kids in your churches. I know, I report on it each and every day. EACH and EVERY day. Not historical cases, but NEW cases. Interesting how “THEY” keep coming into your churches still, still rape kids, or do their child porno now, and your leaders? Still protect them just like we saw your current Pope Francis protecting and defending the Pedo Pimp Archbishop and priests who raped the deaf/mute children at the Antonio Provolo Institute in Mendoza, Argentina, two of whom? Your Vatican moved there after they were busted raping more deaf/mute children at the Antonio Provolo Institute in Verona Italy. So who is Pope Francis? He is one of them, and he is, according to your own words? EQUALLY AS BAD AND AS CULPABLE, SO WHEN ARE YOU ALL GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR HEAD PEDOPHILE PIMPS LIKE POPE FRANCIS, YOU KNOW THE “THEY” WHO HAVE COME INTO YOUR CHURCHES AND USE THEM TO DO AWFUL THINGS?

OR ARE YOU A TYPICAL ROMAN CATHOLIC, ALL TALK AND NO ACTION. AND THEN ATTACK US VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS WHO DO IN FACT? HAVE THE GUTS AND BALLS TO SPEAK OUT? DEMAND JUSTICE, ETC.

But most catholic people are not like this, and the church is not like this in general. I know it’s happened to thousands but there are literally millions of regular catholics, priests and bishops, and it isn’t fair to tar us all with the same brush.

Where was your god and Jeus for the hundreds of deaf/mute children brutally raped by Catholics at the Antonio Provolo Institutes in Verona Italy and Mendoza Argentina? Where was the apology from the Head Pedo Pimp Popo Franko for his branding the victims and their parents reporting on these pedo pervs raping them, liars and actually? Children of demons and yet? They were all telling the truth?

Where was your god and Jesus for the over 3,000 victims of your pedo cult who committed suicide because when they came out and spoke of the horrors done to them? Catholics unmercifully attacked them and insulted and denigrated them. Called them liars, gold diggers out looking for a payday? Or if they were male victims? Well they are homoesexuals who wanted it, enjoyed it and are seducers of their pedo priests?

Where was your god and Jesus as victims and suvivors sought justice for the crimes committed against them? How come your god and Jesus has never once thrown out a Pope, a Cardinal, Bishop or Archbishop who are credibly accused of covering up for their pedo priests and moving them around like they were literal kids in a candy store, to rape even more children? How come your god and Jesus allows all those Pedo Pimps hiding out at the Vatican under their sovereign immunity laws to get away with their Crimes Against Humanty and their Crimes Against the Children of the World? Or allow your cult to hide behind statutes of limitations to deny victims and survivors justice and recompense for their ruined lives?

Screw your prayers. Prayers are as useless as tits on a bull and your god or Jesus answering just one single prayer of a child being brutally raped in a church by Roman Catholic priests,has never happened for any victim. Otherwise? They would not be either a victim or a survivor.

Now you listen up you moron for the RCC.

Beleve in what you wish. I am with two of your “Saints” of your cult of pedo pimps, pedos and you pew polishers who love and adore them. “Saints” Peter Damian and Pope Pius V got it perfectly right when they said of what should be done to your pedo pimps and pedo priests….bring them before the eccleastical court and strip them of all their rights and duties. Excommunicate and defrock them and humiliate them. Beat the tar out of them and then? Turn them over to civil authorities to put them to a just punishment, a death penalty one.

Cathechism of the Roman Catholic Church, Part Three: Life in Christ; Section Two: The Ten Commandments; Chapter Two: You Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself; Article Five: The Sixth Commandment; OFFENSES AGAINST CHASTITY:

2356 “Rape is the forcible violation of the sexual intimacy of another person. It does injury to justice and charity. Rape deeply wounds the respect, freedom, and physical and moral integrity to which every person has a right. It causes grave damage that can mark the victim for life. It is always an intrinsically evil act. Graver still is the rape of children committed by parents (incest) or those responsible for the education of the children entrusted to them.”

St Pope Pius V Constitutionn Horrendum illud scelus, August 30, 1568, in Bullarium Romanum

So that the contagion of such a grave offense may not advance with greater audacity by taking advantage of impunity, which is the greatest incitement to sin, and so as to more severely punish the clerics who are guilty of this nefarious crime and who are not frightened by the death of their souls, we determine that they should be handed over to the severity of the secular authority, which enforces civil law.

Therefore, wishing to pursue with greater rigor than we have exerted since the beginning of our pontificate, we establish that any priest or member of the clergy, either secular or regular, who commits such an execrable crime, by force of the present law be deprived of every clerical privilege, of every post, dignity and ecclesiastical benefit, and having been degraded by an ecclesiastical judge, let him be immediately delivered to the secular authority to be put to death, as mandated by law as the fitting punishment for laymen who have sunk into this abyss.

Then I will believe you. Until ALL of those good Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops and all those good priests, brothers, nuns and sisters, and all those good pew polisher parishioners gather together enmass and demand ALL Pedo Pimps and pedos of the church be kicked out? And demand your church stops hiding behind the statute of limitations and sovereign immunity laws to get away for their crimes? And you all put a muzzle on Bill Donohue of the Catholic League and his vile attacks against victims and survivors?
