Where untruths or distortions of truth are included in programmes of Catechesis, or in Catholic talks and journals, it's as if people are being offered, at a party, a plate which holds drawing pins as well as nuts. Serious spiritual injury can result from poor or poisonous nutrition.

The Church is the Body of Christ and we should not separate ourselves from it through disobedience, dissent or schism

Those who oppose the legitimate teaching authority of the Church and develop a habit of defiance are, perhaps without realising it, defying Christ Himself

Some of the beliefs and practices recommended today by Catholic writers and teachers are not in accord with the teaching of the Pope and Bishops.

"Would St. Paul Recognise it?" The Lord showed me the 'New Gospel' preached today by those who dissent from the Church's teachings, and who rarely mention sin or punishment, and speak as if it is easy to be saved, no matter how a person chooses to live.

If we guide a person towards danger, we are responsible for their injuries, whether on a beach, or through publishing bad books, or in any area of life.

Authentic Catholic teaching is like a glass of pure water for thirsty souls. Teaching which contains errors or distortions is like a glass of water which contains some dangerous organisms.

Just as it is pointless installing sewage pipes if an open sewer is allowed to remain nearby, so it makes little difference trying to improve catechesis if heretical books and dissident teachers are left in place.

In earthly life, it's as though we run a race in full view of Christ and the Saints; but those who prefer to leave the track will miss the triumphant end to the race, having taken a trajectory that leads to outer darkness.

The idols or 'golden calves' which many people worship today, are their own selfish opinions, often contrary to the Church's teachings, their lack of reverence towards God, their neglect of penance and prayer, and the neglect of the ordinary duties of their state of life.

Just as the ancient people of God made an idol of a golden calf, so many people today make an idol of their private opinions, neglecting God's law, or they lack reverence in church, neglect prayer and penance, and disregard the duties of their state of life - loving their own will instead of the Will of God.

Only a Bishop who goes amongst his people can see which 'plants' in his garden are not healthy but diseased, and which are infecting other healthy plants (by distorted or faulty catechesis).

Someone who refuses to repent of wrong, refuses to show contrition, or refuses to make reparation to those whom he has wronged, is in a dangerous place as if on the sloping side of the crater of a volcano. He might live in hope of reaching the top. But each new movement of rebellion makes him slide closer to the sheer precipice, from which only a miracle of grace can rescue him.

Those who want to help others in their faith, but then offer them untruth mixed with truth, by contradicting the teaching of the Church, are like people inadvertently offering a mixture of good food and poisonous berries to the children in their care.

There are people today who wrongly say "No, there's no Hell" - thus contradicting Christ. They are unaware that the entrance to Hell is very close to them - ready to receive all who carelessly or passionately embrace evil, and who at death are still apart from God.

How sad it is, in an earthly home, when a child disobeys, grumbles, shouts, stamps, sulks, and lacks gratitude. That it what it is like in the 'family' of the Church when members grumble about attending Mass, disobey God's laws, contradict Church teachings and gossip about the Clergy.

Parts of the earth lie in darkness, again. For God, looking at the earth, it is as if lights on the earth which normally shine out to Heaven, are extinguished, where Catholics routinely go against the Commandments, particularly about chastity and about married love. It is just as when people working for the National Grid see large, un-lit areas suddenly appear on their screens.

Christ spoke to me at the Consecration, when His Precious Blood was on the altar. He said, of those Catholics who teach distorted or truncated versions of the Faith: "I shed my Blood for them" - He meant: yet they rarely speak of His Passion, death and Resurrection.
