“It is sad to see so many Roman Catholics forced to participate, or deluded to participate in one of the oldest games that men have played on each other. They used to call it the ‘shell game’, and someone would guess which shell had the object under it. As you know, three shells were maneuvered around; sometimes it was just for fun, and at other times there was a monetary value put on whether or not a person could choose a shell with the object under it, a sleight of hand maneuvering that many times was based on deceit, cunningness, greed, or even contempt to get even.

Sometimes it feels like a Roman Catholic is constantly involved in the shell game because of the character of different priests in different parishes. It is difficult to find a church that one feels totally secure in, because of all the constant changes that are not based on dignity, respect for God, devoutness, solemnity, humility, piety, and honoring in an orderly way, God, The Supreme Being.

We are not temples of purity, nor are we temples of all Grace. We are children of God, endowed with the Gift of a will, and we are the custodians of the Precious Gift of a Soul. Along with this, we are given the intellect to respond to what is right, what is wrong, in the manner declared by God in His Ten Commandments.

His First Commandment, ‘I Am The Lord Thy God; Thou Shalt Not Have strange gods Before Me.’ We all know that He elaborated more on each Commandment when He instilled into Moses the fullness of what each Commandment was to give to man, was to mean to man, was to be obeyed by man. Through time men have condensed these Words, whether it be through translation, interpretation, or pride in one’s own position as to how he could break it down so They would be more understandable, more easily learned, and more pinpointed to a given area of man’s life.

It is sad to see Roman Catholics struggling over such an important act of obedience to God, the Third Commandment, ‘Remember, Keep Holy The Sabbath Day.’

The turmoil that so many priests have caused during that one hour of time each week has not only a devastating effect on so many people’s Faith in God, but it has driven many Roman Catholics to other forms of religion, because in them they felt more peace, more contentment, and felt that they had truly attended a Service that rendered more Spiritual advice, demonstrating more love for God, perhaps even more respect to mankind. This is sad, because of the absence of Holy Communion, that Precious Gift of Spiritual Food for the mind, body and Soul of each person receiving It.

There are too many shells being tossed around. There are too many games being played with man’s Faith in God. There are too many people being led to perdition because of the differences of opinions, personal opinions of so many priests who rely upon their own emotions, their own interpretations, their own imaginations, their own biased integrity, their own defensive attitudes toward their vocation in life. They do not want to conform to dignity, honor, humility, sacrifice of time, nor do they want to serve mankind through their service to God. They determine how important they are and are quick to say that it’s all right for someone else, lay men or women to dispense Holy Communion, plus other duties that carry Spiritual responsibilities. Granted, no human being would deserve the privilege of such an important task, but Christ Himself prepared the Apostles, all men, and handed to them the Honor and Responsibility of the Priesthood, to be handed down as He declared it to be: a vocation of life for the benefit of all men’s Souls.

It is truly a Miracle that Holy Mother Church, the Priesthood, and the practice of Christianity has remained two thousand years with so many men having such little Faith in God, because they are obsessed with change, obsessed with what they feel mankind is interested in, not what God wants of mankind.

It is time that Roman Catholics stop playing the shell game and stop being led to perdition by so much humanism. The answer is evident. It is almost too easy to even have to say it out loud, but with all that has been allowed to happen, it is time that Roman Catholics demand solemnity, dignity, humility and Honor to God be the practice in every Roman Catholic Church in the world, bar none.

Each Roman Catholic has a stake in this move, and each Roman Catholic has the right to stand up for what Holy Mother Church was instituted for: Christianity based on God’s Ten Commandments and the Teachings of Christ, not the clerical opinions that change Godliness into strictly humanism.”
