The Fall & Rise of the Catholic Church


Like a fictional phoenix, one must burst into flames before they are reborn again.

Some days we wonder ‘why I do believe in this’. There is a simple math, dice rolling. I know some atheists’ that love them dice. Why can’t our life just be a simple rolling of die? Why did x die, well he rolled the wrong outcome. The statists could be stacked against him, and even the odd are in his luck, it’s just a simple roll of the dice. Is it God being mean to you, or just your roll of the dice? Isn’t that the only thing that divides you from the rich man, the chances and luck, or misluck. Why did this happen? It just did; statistics.
As a youth, I have always known there was a God, but I wanted to know who this creature is. I heard many atheists argue, and they always started with how can there be a God if we evolved from monkeys. We were made in His image and therefore we were put here as man. Here comes a concrete proof for the atheists; No God. But what if God was a monkey? I would have my God and science can continue. Jesus said to love God no matter the shape, even a poor man or maybe a monkey. Did Jesus look a little like a monkey, too? Even we don’t know.
I have horrible idea for a new church. Not one of proposed saints of the church. It would be ‘The Church of Judas’, the apostil that will never be saved. Do we all not believe we are sinners that keep digging ourselves into a grave? This reminds me of Hozier’s song, ‘Take Me to Church’ or Lady Gaga’s “Judas”. We are sinners that will never be saved. Why should we keep striving for something we have already decided we can’t receive? Judas would be our pity example. Was it really his fault or his fate?
He never marked Himself as the only God just the only one to worship.  There is a story in the Old Testament that God was pitted against the gods of that time, and he lit the fire. Also, he said you will have no god above God. Not that aren’t there, just they aren’t as high.
There is a difficulty in most Catholics to believe the bread and wine are flesh & blood. But that is hard w/o a visual. Why don’t I create a painting? It starts with a desert, (like the one in Selena Gomez’s Music Video for ‘A Year w/o Rain.’). There would be mountains in the far-back, with a river running from right corner downward. The scene would be like Picaso’s melting clocks. But ours doesn’t have clocks; it’s flesh. That is sometimes rotting, sometimes stiff, and sometime flabby like the clocks but still flesh. The river would be blood, plasma based (period blood has the most plasma). It would be called B&B of JC (you can guess). It would be a series. There would be a little stick figure in the painting and it would drink from the river. The scene would then become more like Selena Gomez’s music video ‘Come & Get it”. I would leave the desert there, but with flowers & grass blooming from the cracks.
Singers are our new prophets. My first example is Katy Perry – Unconditionally. You know Katy Perry, you see her failed marriage, so why in butt could she be using the word unconditionally? Back-up a little. Listen to the song. Is she only a mouth piece for someone else, someone like God. “All the dirty laundry; Never made me blink one time; Come just as you are to me” Isn’t that something you’d want God to say, isn’t that really something God would say. “Let go and just be free” Isn’t that one of his final message. Take my yoke it is light.



Speaking of singers, I want to add someone to sainthood that you wouldn’t think of. I do have many ideas why this may fail, but if you stepped back you would see she is running to get back to the faith of her youth. If you listen to some of her softer songs you hear an odd undertone to Him. In ‘Rain’, she tells of feeling a love like rain. Questioning but waiting for it. In ‘Frozen’ she talks about how life without feeling will leave one frozen. ‘Like a Pray’ is more pro-religious than you think. The burning crosses are about how stereotypical ‘anti-blacks’ would burn crosses. She was questioning a world of black vs. white, and the Jesus was just a symbol to help with that transition from a racist to someone who defends. Nothing Really Matters, aims for the more spiritual side of life. With pointing her to sainthood, I aiming to remind her & you, how much she is trying to get back to Faith. Though, I would need to tell her, the Father is nothing w/o the Son. Also, she isn’t dead, yet
Sometimes we wonder about the rules that are built into the Church. No abortions, no gay marriages, follow the Ten Commandments. But, the problem is that the real motto for the Catholic Church should be ‘The continuation of the human race’. We seem to being doing better than the old Roman/Greek religion. They ran around being bloated, screwing for fun, killing at will, no respect for each other, and being selfish. We see how far that got them. We can look at the 10 commandments first. It leaves us in a better balance. Respect your parents is the idea that respect starts at home and continues on. Do not covet, b/c that leads to dissatisfied with what you have. Killing is bad makes sense, less us less chance of survival. Then there is go to mass, which has studies that say those who sing, praise and let go of hate have better blood pressure and therefore longer lives. Let’s look at the controversial hard ones. Image a world where half the population is wiped out by something like emboli. You can sit there worry about it, but when it happens using contraception and having an abortions to stops reproduction seem stupid. Also, a union that can reproduce would be considered holy. Though, that doesn’t mean other unions aren’t good for raising children.
The pope is the latest solider of the war described by Plato’s Cave. In Plato’s cave, he described a world of people staring at false images, false shadows. They live in the cave of darkness with only shadows to amuse them. In Jesus’ time, we still were staring at these shadows. Plato said it was one man’s job to break free from the chains and see the real light. Jesus did that. Plato then said, it was that man’s job to go back and teach other to break free, and so on. He appointed Peter to be the rock and lead the people out of the cave to see what the real sun looks like. As time passed, many were born to stare at shadows, but a new pope was appointed for the point to teach people to free themselves and to do the same for others.
Church is the cup of the ark of the convent. There are many apostils at the table during the last supper. Only one is Peter. He has a high chair, the corner stone of the new faith, but he was not the only apostil at the table, and will not be the only one in heaven. Like the different apostle, there are different faiths, even different type of Christians. You cannot look down at your fellow disciple. Though I do believe Peter has the truest cup to everlasting life.
2+2=4 is a simple equation. X isn’t even included. A math problem we learn in 1st grade or sooner. Something that is so simple, we can even learn on our own. That is God. Somehow, He is as simple as learning 2+2. But we are taught to think of Him in the world of algebra. 2+2/5*88+98-me=x. And we start to get lost. We want to solve for God, we are still trying to solve for Me. But somehow, it isn’t that hard. He is the whole language, and if we remember it could be as simple as knowing that 2+2=4.



Jesus is the word made flesh. But what is that word? Plato has the idea of the perfect dog. The true blue print for all dogs. No real dog is perfect but they are all called dog, based on the perfect dog. Jesus is like that, He is the word Faith. Look at his actions, everything He does stems from being of such faith b/c he is 100% faith. It is only through Jesus you can find God, or through faith. So, who is God, then? God is love but not the American idea of sexual love. The Romans had many versions of the world love. It is more like charity and unselfishness. It is more like Agape, the Latin word for unconditional love. God is the one that can love unconditionally. He is in the bedroom & there when you create youngling. Does that mean we don’t have to be monkeys’ b/c when we are made in his image, we are made to love? That does make Eden interesting, where we learned about selfishness. Church is all about the unity. First, we cannot practice unselfishness if there is nothing but us. Also, when more than one joins in faith, there is Jesus. Or my part faith with your part faith equals faith. Also, a body is a carpal object to hold spiritual something. Would it make sense that the bread at mass is a carpal object holding pure faith? Better put is replacing the word Jesus with Faith. Faith walked on water, Faith healed the sick. Replace the word God with Love. Though, it is odd to say that Faith will not know when the world end, but Love will. The last one is the Holy Spirit. As you know the quote, Faith, Hope & Love, well Holy Spirit is hope.  
I should tell you about the real hell. “The opposite of love is indifference”-‘Stubborn Love’ The Lumineers. Cold embodies indifference the most, someone whose heart is frozen (see the movie). It is not a burning hot, but a freezer burn. It can be painful, especial when you feel again. God said to choice a side or will spit on those who sit on the fence. What is the middle between hate & love? You can’t hate w/o feeling love.
In the end God is in the equations, but think of Him as 1. 5x, where x=1, looks like 5. 4/x, where x=1, look like 4. It seems like He was never there, but He is, just in little ways. 455+x=456. Isn’t a big leap but there was change. Adding Him always creates change. & you may think He is not there, but little by little, spread all over an equation.

Removed:
There was an idea of the greater good, but it misses something, the little parts. The whole is made up of each little part. Yeah, a weak link is bad, but a chain link fence missing links is stupid as well. Who knows what a link will do with its strength before it is tested.




In the shadow hides the darkness. There are many secrets to hold on to. The words you can't even say to God are the first I hear.
I shall tell you a little about me. First here are my weapons. I lay them on your door stop. They are powerful and could be dangerous in any hands. In my anger, I want to use them as against humanity, on my good days I wonder why no one knows some of these things as fact.
Some days I think I'm of evil spirit, b/c who else would know with certain that He is out there. With that I am attracted to that which reminds me of Him. I like people & songs, movie too. I have decided the reason to keep the world spinning is the little things. My favorite song, or TV show, or book or movie or giggle of a child. A reason to smile.
Sometimes when I hear James Blunts songs, I hear His voice pleading with me. My favorite album is U2's Actung Baby, which is the best for lady cramps. I like the first 6 songs of One Republic’s new one. I always want to invite Rob Thomas to my wedding, somehow my favorite songs of his (including Matchbox Twenty) are describing my life from some of his hard ones to my favorite “Someday”. I also wanted Drops of Jupitar in my hair for the wedding. I thought the couple from Basille’s Pompeii was modern day Mary & Joseph. Supernatural by DC Talk. Jars of Clay by Jars of Clay is awesomely wonderful. Flood has haunted from its release in ’95 all the way to ’02. & Liquid.
Shall I tell you an odd story? I was being high & mighty, imaging I was conquering the world and there was no one to stop me. I visit the Pope at the time, Pope Benedict, and said ‘Give me your ring’. He did, so I gave his seat to a friend of mine (remind me a little of you). Time passed in the real world, and I image the idea again, but now you, Pope Francis is pope. I said the same thing ‘Give me your ring.’ You did as well, but with these words. ‘This ring is nothing but a trinket, faith will continue no matter what you do.’ So I left you alone.
I’m odd. It is randomly known. Another idea is that spiritual world I have the power to walk through doors, yes, doors that are closed or even locked. They say not even Jesus can do that or at least he is nice enough not to. I imagined that heaven has a back door, walk through it and unlocked it from the inside.  Well, that would allow people into heaven, and may be those who don’t belong. My first idea was to ask to a par den for the people of my imaginary world (if they exist), which would be nice, but then a pardon for those who got into heaven illegally. But, it’s not a slate is clean and back to evil for you. It is more like a ‘you can be forgiven’, but if you confess and change. I always dreamed that those in hell can change.
My husband shows love the best. He actual told how to be a better wife for lent, I should give him 10% more hugs. Ironically it was perfectly true. True, he claims to be the best hugger. Trivia, I was born the year two people were shot, but not killed. On my 1st birthday (saint day of my husband-12/27), my husband was about conceived and born on my saint day. I like the cheesy of it. Actually, my hubby, myself and my nephew were all born on the 27th. & Hubby went to 16yrs of catholic school. By the way, too many people wished me a long life, and it’s longer that I thought at first. Though, I wonder if my generous are surprised how long we last, and wonder when the world will end. I don’t think I will make it to colonization in space, but who knows.
 “When two cows moo together in faith, love will hear.”
To help, cows are spirits, ie souls or people. Moo’s are prays of the cows. The other two will make sense after the paper. By the way, if you get a chance ask God to give me an excuse to dye my hair purple (He’ll understand).

My favorite stuffed cow is Kau; bought her on sale with my husband. He hugs her at night, w/ Brown & White Cow (Or as he nicknames them Mr. & Mrs. Cow-wedding gift) & little cow. Her head is so big and her arms are so short. A sort of quote from ‘Meet The Robinsons’. Good movie. I always thought Kau holds my grandma (grandmotherly, father side, last name is like truth god), God and Dave (which might mean god in Hindu). Then Brown cow gets to hold everyone else. & heaven is my husband holding them sweetly while they are all nap.
