Catholicism Today
It is necessary to say a few words about modern Catholicism.
Due to the salutary activity of Napoleon Bonaparte and other heroes, the epoch called the Middle Ages ended. Catholicism began to change. The Inquisition was abolished, and “crusades” were not launched anymore.
Catholicism stopped to fight against “heresies”, grew much more tolerant to other religions. Damnation was remitted from the Jews; sound relationship was established with Israel, with Muslim, Protestant, and other countries.
Catholicism started to study experience of other religions in a positive manner. In Vatican there are special scholars who do this kind of research.
John Paul II was apparently the first pope to actually possess a developed spiritual heart.
But… he, too, commenced his “pastoral” activity with attacking women who made abortions — the women who got into trouble. The women who did that for very different reasons: not only because of their own foolishness, but also very frequently because of the criminal attitude of men toward them… From the position of an arrogant man who lacks understanding of women’s problems, the pope advocated the ban on abortions…
But in the following years the emphasis of the pope’s activity shifted towards struggle for peace.
As far as theology is concerned, he was the first pope to refuse to assert that God is a male!… That alone was a tremendous step away from the religious primitivism that was inculcated by the “aggressive” in previous centuries.
Journalists praised John Paul II for apologizing on behalf of the Catholic Church for the crimes it made in the past. He even ordered to open the archives of the “holy Inquisition”. They praised this as a feat of the pope… But to every intellectually and ethically developed person it is clear that all these crimes were nothing but crimes before people and God; thus I cannot see any particular heroism in this deed of the pope…
If Catholicism could
— acknowledge the Evolution of the Divine Universal Consciousness in physical bodies,
— acknowledge that there were other Messiahs from one Universal God — both before and after Jesus Christ,
— publicly support that eternal integral Teaching of God that all of Them have been giving to people,
then it would really perform a greatest deed for the humanity and for God. Only then it would become a cooperator, an assistant to Jesus Christ.
