Saint Peter, Pray For Us

BEWARE OF THIS BOOK!!!
If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you
have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the
information below and pass it along to others. Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.

The name of the book is Conversations with God.. James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating. Parents, churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to church/ e-mail addressees, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends.

Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV, in movie theaters, on the internet, and the music they listen to, but also be alert regarding the books they read.

Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God
for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list
for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, "Don't judge a book by its cover or title."

The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the "voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not Bible-based and
go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "Why am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she
was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences.

Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?"

His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done
nothing wrong."

Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply "I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive. There is no such thing
as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong,
because the rule is "'judge not lest ye be judged." Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some
instances quote (in error) the Word of God. And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to
schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.
Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to
worldly mediums, because our adversary, the Devil, roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We know that lions usually
hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.

 

THIS IS NOT RIGHT
THE TEACHER WHO EXPOUNDED ON HER RIGHT TO VOTE FOR PRO-ABORTION CANDIDATES ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS IN FRONT OF CHILDREN AT THIS SCHOOL IN THE CLASSROOM, IS NOW THE PRINCIPAL!
WHAT DOES THIS TELL PARENTS AND PROSPECTIVE PARENTS REGARDING AN AUTHENTIC CATHOLIC LEARNING EXPERIENCE?

Tell the Truth Boldly, Urges Pontiff

VATICAN CITY, JUNE 24, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI, on the solemnity of the birth of St. John the Baptist, called on the Church to bear "witness to the truth without compromise."

Recalling the beheading of John the Baptist, the Bishop of Rome added: "As an authentic prophet, John bore witness to the truth without compromise. He denounced transgressions of God's commandments, even when the protagonists were people in power.

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING

TO ALL CONCERNED PARENTS WHO UNDERSTAND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THE SPIRITUAL WELFARE OF THEIR CHILDREN'S SOULS AND SALVATION:

Facts to take into consideration and bring up as legitimate concerns to the Principal before enrolling your child in Saint Peter's

Be advised that everything written about below can be backed up with physical evidence...letters, phone calls, etc.

  1. The current 2006-2007 Social Studies teacher for 5th through 8th grades freely speaks about her anti-Catholic political leanings such as the righteousness of voting for a candidate who the students know is pro-abortion. She speaks freely to her students about these unethical anti-Catholic viewpoints. What will your child learn from this? That it's ok for a Catholic to vote for a PRO-ABORTION candidate. And this, within the walls of a Catholic school.

  2. The principal does nothing to stop this.

  3. The Christmas Pageant which is supposed to glorify our Redeemer and His birth, also glorifies the pagan religions, the dead religions, and the secular values of the world and places them at the same level of the Birth of Jesus. What do I mean? If you were there this past year you would have heard a song whose refrain went like this:  "Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Peaceful Solstice, Joyful Kwanzaa!" Hanukkah is a celebration of a dead religion, solstice is a celebration of the sun; a pagan celebration dating back to the Druids of Middle Age Western Europe; today it is known as witchcraft, paganism, earth worship and/or goddess worship. Kwanzaa is a celebration of earthly man made values invented by an African American professor in 1964 as a response to the terrible treatment of blacks in our country at the time. Why are we celebrating man made values when we should solely be celebrating God-given virtues found in Jesus?

  4. The principal, with the pastor's backing (according to the principal), approves. She claims that they are following the directives of Vatican II. It is not true as nowhere in the documents of Vatican II is it found that false religions are to be elevated to the level of our truth. Read Dominus Iesus, the document promulgated by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2000, and you will know the truth.

  5. So there you go. Know all these things to be true before you enroll your child. As per our experience, the majority of the teachers at the school are God fearing people who would never dream of mocking God in the manner here described, for mocking God is exactly what is being done.

  6. If you value the innocence and the safety of your child's soul and eternal salvation, as good Catholic parents MUST, then investigate this and demand change. You're not paying tuition in a Catholic school for your children to be exposed to non-Catholic ideologies.

  7. If you have any questions or would like to hear about good orthodox Roman Catholic alternatives, feel free to email me at catholicmilitant@gmail.com. You may also email me requesting proofs. I have it all in writing AND recorded phone conversations.

The pastor called me this morning to express his disapproval of what I have written. I have written only the facts. Keep in mind that the facts involve only three persons, the pastor, the principal and the social studies teacher. ALL OTHER INSTRUCTORS ARE INNOCENT. Please keep in mind that this is NOT an attack on the character of the school, but on the satanic influence which seeks to confuse in order to conquer. Think about it. Historically, all Satan has ever needed was a small crack in the shield of vigilance and like a snake, he crawls in and causes discord and chaos. These issues I bring up may seem small and insignificant, but they are exactly what Satan uses to expand his influence. No one notices until the damage is done.

  1. The pastor called me again; this time to play at semantics with me. He seemed to be more concerned with the alleged "embarrassment" of the principal than with my valid and serious concerns. We came to a supposed agreement, but until I see the proof, this page stays up as a warning.

  2. 3 weeks later. No proof. I am assuming the pastor has no intention of coming to an agreement and I also assume that he will continue to allow behavior which is hostile to our Catholic faith and potentially damaging to your children's souls to prevail at the school.

  3. Do as I do - continue to pray for him and the errant staff members.

URGENT!!  WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING??
I thought this additional postscript to the warning below would be invaluable in the defense of my position. I came across an essay written by a 7th grader in Saint Peters for his religion class. The essay was written in the school year 2006-2007 or 2007-2008. The apparent purpose of the essay was to indicate similarities between Christianity and Islam. Although there are exterior similarities such as monotheism, the student wrote about a similarity I've never heard of, but which can be directly attributed to the substance of my complaint against this school. He wrote that "another thing we have in common is that both religions were founded by a prophet; Mohammed founded Islam and Jesus founded Christianity. So, now Jesus, the Son of God....God, Himself, is relegated to the status of prophet. Read the WARNING above to understand more of what you will be involving your child in if you choose to enroll in this school.

Catholic teachers must share the faith with their lives, says Spanish cardinal

Toledo, June 9 (CNA).-The Archbishop of Toledo, Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera, said this week teachers at Catholic schools must not only "transmit the faith with words but also with the explicit testimony of their own lives."

In an article on Catholic schools, the cardinal said they "propose a Christian vision of man and the world that offers children and young people the possibility of a fruitful dialogue between faith and reason, of encountering the truth, depending on it and being guided by it."

He went on to underscore that "truth, goodness and beauty are fundamental contents and ends of a Catholic school," which should be "at the service of truth" and should teach everything about Jesus Christ, "who is the truth in person, and not something abstract or unreal."

In today's world, the cardinal explained, Catholic schools should embrace a teaching strategy that allows students to "not only acquire human, moral and spiritual maturity, but also to become involved in the transformation of society and be concerned with collaborating on the coming and establishing of the Kingdom of God among us."

"At the center of everything," he continued, must be "the human person, the dignity of all human beings, the establishing of fundamental human rights created not by human powers, nor forged through a consensus or through parliamentarian majorities, but rather that precede them and that are inscribed in man's very being."

He also called on teachers to be true evangelizers and to bring students into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.

So what does this mean to Saint Peters School? It means that the Social Studies teacher must lead an exemplary life and she should not be politicizing her students in a manner contrary to Catholic teaching . It means that if the Principal and the Pastor are made aware of such errors, they must act to correct the error, not be complicit with their cowardly silence. That's what the article means!
