 Modernist pope continues to deceive the world, except for traditional Catholics May 21, 2008
3 out of 48 found this review helpful
"They are blind and their leaders are blind. And when the blind follow the blind they all fall into the pit." Jesus the Messiah and Lord from the Gospels
Unfortunately and tragically Pope Benedict XVI has done it again. His deception has no limits, which is fitting for a modernist. Joseph Ratzinger has continually denied and still denies the Christological Doctrines of the Catholic Christian faith as defined by the Ecumenical Councils of the Catholic Church. He does not assent to the Doctrines of the Catholic faith as defined by the Ecumenical Council of Trent against the Protestant heresy and he describes Martin Luther as one of his theological mentors. Finally, on the Vatican website gives approval to biblical modernism which teaches that the Apostles invented the Christian religion from their subjective experiences. His religious subjectivism ends up denying the objectivity of the public Divine revelation of the Christian religion. Deniars of these facts, please research them for yourself and this won't be the end to Ratzinger's heresies but just the beginning. Yet how is he able to deceive people into thinking that he is a Catholic Christian. The answer is that he is a modernist and in fact a moderate modernist as described by Pope St. Pius X's encyclical On Modernism(Pascendi Dominici Gregis) for which on one page they will read "... as a Catholic and on the next page as a rationalist(which includes in contemporary times religious subjectivism)." Unfortunately, the consequences of this grave deception is great as it is a matter of human salvation. "They are blind and their leaders are blind. And when the blind follow the blind they all fall into the pit."Jesus of Nazareth Tragically it is only true traditional Catholics who recognize that we have had only modernist popes starting with Pope John XXIII and consequently refuses to be blind and thereby fall into the pit of a modernist Novus Ordo Construct outside the Historical Catholic Church and which ultimately leads to hell. The only way this situation will change is when a traditional Catholic pope is elected and yes every traditional Catholic is praying and working for this day to come. The day of deception will be over modernists, religious necoconservatives(Our Sunday Visitor), and indultarians. Yes, laus tibi Christe, when the day of deception will be over!Then History will not judge lightly the modernists and appeasers of modernists, the reliogious neocons and indultarians. History and the Lord of history will vindicate their faithful servants who passed on what they have received: the traditional Catholic remnant and the truth about modernism and this great apostasy led by modernist popes will be known and accepted by all. Ratzinger has done it again but not for long! The truth can not be held back!
 A "Must Read" book May 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pope Benedict XVI does a beautiful easy to understand in depth look into the apostles. He pulls from Scripture and opens up insights into their lives and personalities as only one guided by the Holy Spirit can do.
The reader benefits from his gifts as teacher and scholar, which he uses to meet us at the place of knowledge where we are, and raise us up to a greater understanding of these 12 disciples/apostles of Christ.
 A Puff Piece April 20, 2008

Having read that Benedict XVI was a scholar and theologian, The Apostles was unexpected. This book adds nothing to the field of scholarship on the apostles. It's a puff piece to substantiate authoritarian dogma.
Excellent book April 13, 2008

This book is excellent. It is a compliations of many of the Pope's Wednesday audience messages related to the Apostles. It is a must buy if any person interested to know the "portfolio" of all the apostles.
Written with Authority March 26, 2008

Pope Benedict is a difficult read. He is a deep thinker and uses long words with lots of consonants to make his points. This volume, however, is easier than most of his writings and is a clear and concise description of the Apostle and a few major disciples mentioned in the Bible. He makes a special point to note prominent female disciples. He doesn't argue the contradition where St. Paul praises Phoebe the "deaconess" yet later refuses the women of Corinth the right to teach. I would have loved to hear his words on the matter as I have read Protestant authors explain Paul's letter as being for specific Churches and not to be taken generally for all Churches.
