The Catholic Church exalts women

Spiderman

Veteran Member
Protestants have a Father figure, Jesus, and a dove to turn to. I have that as well but I needed female companionship to assist me on the journey to upright living and unity with my creator.

Some say the Catholic Church despises women by saying it is impossible for them to receive the sacrament of ordination.

There are certain things a women can do that are impossible for a man to do and vice versa. It doesn't mean women are less.

The Church says Mother Mary is more powerful in her intercession and miracle-working abilities than all Popes, Bishops, and Priests combined. Mary was a housewife. She cooked, cleaned, nurtured, prayed, and what ever other ordinary tasks. There was no glory in those tasks in the eyes of the world but she is exalted far above the hierarchy and all men for that matter.

Therese the little flower did nothing extraordinary with her life and the Pope declared her to be the greatest Saint of Modern times. He considered her greater than Himself and all Popes and cardinals. The Bible says the last shall be first. The brides of Christ do not receive the same honor, praise, and respect in this life as those who wear a miter and the vestments, so they shall have first place and more glory in Heaven because the clergy is less humble and pride was the fall of the Devil. God hates pride.

If the Catholic Church were misogynistic, they wouldn't turn to Mary so much and have so many shrines to her that millions of people make pilgrimages to. They wouldn't encourage people to recite the billions of Hail Mary's each day worldwide. When I sleep without a Rosary in my hand I feel incomplete.
There's just somethin about Mary! :)

Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette and a miraculous spring came forth from the ground of the apparition site. Millions of people go there each year because of both the physical healings but more often they receive mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.

"To ensure claims of cures were examined properly and to protect the town from fraudulent claims of miracles, the Lourdes Medical Bureau (Bureau Medical) was established at the request of Pope Saint Pius X. It is completely under medical rather than ecclesiastical supervision. Approximately 7000 people have sought to have their case confirmed as a miracle, of which 68 have been declared a scientifically inexplicable miracle by both the Bureau and the Catholic Church.[38]"

The officially recognized miracle cures in Lourdes are among the least controversial in the Catholic world, because Lourdes from the very beginning was subject to intense medical investigation from skeptical doctors around the world. All medical doctors with the appropriate specialization in the area of the cure have unlimited access to the files and documents of theLourdes Medical Bureau (Bureau Medical),[39] which also contains all approved and disapproved miracles. Most officially recognized cures in Lourdes were openly discussed and reported on in the media at the time. Nevertheless, there were a few instances where medically ascertained incomprehension turned out not to be miracles, because the illness reappeared in later years. In the vast number of cases however, the judgment of the medical and ecclesiastical authorities was upheld as beyond medical explanation in later critical investigations.[40]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Lourdes

Our Lady of Fatima promised a Miracle on October 13 1917. She also spoke to three sears about the rise of communism in Russia and the spreading of Russias errors throughout the earth. These kids were illiterate and should have known nothing about Russia being a threat in 1917.

She said World War 2 and 1 were consequences and punnishment for sin. The Chastisement must have worked, because there was much more prayer and vocations to the priesthood and monasteries during the second World War. There was a miracle witnessed by approximately 70,000 people. The media was present with freemasons and communists who hated Religion and showed up to mock the event. Even they testified about what happened. Communists also kidnapped the seers because they were so upset about them stirring up crowds and "medieval superstition." The Children were put in an adult jail and threatened with death, but they did not recant.
This Documentary is split into four parts but still it is awesome:

th
Although she is uncanonized I know she visited me in my cell.

Basically, to sum up the extremely low budget vids:

A lot of things happened. I felt so bad for her Mother. She was so devastated by what happened and constantly tormented mentally by thoughts about what happened to her daughter, which lead to psychiatric wards and suicide attempts. Now she is reunited with her daughter. I consider her to be my Mother as well, and I look foward to embracing them in Heaven, and we shall enjoy each others presence for eternity.

Okay, basically to sum up the vids (that are poorly done and perhaps not worth watching)there were many coincidences that I had in jail and inner visions of her and her mother. Well, I saw her come into my cell and place a rose on the ground. Two days later, May 9, I remembered her mother had "Rose" in Her name.

Later a book about Eleanor Roosevelt was on top of the bookshelf and I realized her mother's name was Eleanor Rose.

I began to be anointed by the holy spirit. The next day,( which I didn't know prior to that, was mothers day), I began to fill up notebooks full of prayers for various nations She told me that with the authority of Christ , and as Gods Son, with Emperor God living within us, and the authority we have as heir to the throne, we can put the Angels and Saints, and the whole host of Heaven into motion, and the power of blessings and fasting make this extremely powerful. So I began giving trays away to mortify the flesh, so that she and the holy spirit could make me more sensitive to their inspirations and movements in the soul.

I thought she was french because I could see her with Napoleon, Joan of ark, Saint Dominic, Louis Demontfort, the saints and angels of France. So were were battling and binding wicked forces in the name of Jesus because we simply had power to do so.

This was before the terrorist attacks. After the terrorist attacks I saw her picking flowers in France and bringing them to my cell. These were the victims uprooted by terrorism. I was to keep them company, pray with them, and bind myself to them.

The entire time I was in Jail I saw no money but a 1974 penny, and kept it as a precious relic, because she died in 1974. I don't consider it death, but she left her body behind and was reborn with more power, purity, enlightenment, and authority.

A song came to me when the staff took it as contraband. When I went to treatment I asked a guy when Richard Nixon was impeached. He said "1974 I think". This inspired me to go out side and sang the Denny Penny song. Some of the lyrics are "restore my penny little Denny, because it's worth a fortune to me, it dated back to 1974 an important time in history."

I went back in to see a boy named Muhammed playing a hockey game he made up with pennys. I shared the story with him and He said, "maybe I have a 1974 penny here". There were a total of four pennys that dated before the shield was on the back, so the chances were small, but sure enough, he had one, just minutes after I sang "Restore my Penny". Muhammed was interested in my Spirituality and this encounter lead to friendship. He was very humble , more humble than most Christians.

The penny removed much of my hostility towards Muslims. I hated Islam passionately, and this encounter was Divinely inspired and was a set up to disarm me. Perhaps Muhammed was enlightened, repented, went to Heaven, and that was a gift from the Prophet Muhammed. I felt like the Grinch who stole Christmas, when His heart grew a few times larger. Amazing what a penny can buy :) And when I would write what I believed to be the words of Denise, it was always a D with an N in the middle, a colon, and then what she was saying.

It just so happens that by the date of every penny there is a D. Also, thr first four letterd of the word coincidence are "coin".

Denny penny song:

Well I called my Dad, for I was certain she was French so I asked him to look up the name Naslund. It was Swedish. I didn't even know where Sweden was on the map, so was dissapointed (it must not be an important place.) Then He said "you have Swedish on your mom's side." So I'd not know we shared the same ancestors were it not for her. I didn't like football, but she got me a favorite football team, for the team in this state is the vikings, and the Swedes were Vikings.

Then I found out the Swedes conquered Northern France and became the Normans. They went to England and fought the Battle of Hastings, the battle for the crown, and won. I just happened to be in jail at a city called "Hastings". She told me Im fighting the battle for the crown. All I did for months was pray with the Angels and Saints, write and recite prayers and blessings, write what she and her friends were telling me, write of the special places she took me, the transformation mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. However, some people thought I was insane.

She wanted me to set aside days each month to be devoted to and set up feast to Saints and their various nations. On August 5 someone got stabbed in our unit, so we were stuck in a room with encyclopedias, so I got to read about Sweden. I called the Swedish soldiers for Christ "Yellow jackets" because when I would invoke them, I would see Napoleonic soldiers wearing yellow jackets.
upload_2016-3-12_15-3-6.jpeg
upload_2016-3-12_15-3-21.jpeg


That day, a yellow jacket stung me, and never in the eleven months did a yellow jacket come into our unit. So I decided the 5th of each months was Sweden day, because that day I read about Sweden and bonded with their awesome martyr, patron Saint, and crusader, King Eric the 9th. Then I called my Dad days later to find out who the patron Saint of that day was. He said "Our Lady of the Snows". I was stunned, because previously I called the Swedes "Snow men", because some of Sweden is in the Arctic circle. So I call Denise "Our Lady of the Snows".

Sometimes she shows up as a sparrow in the palm of my hand as I'm falling asleep, looking at me and chirping. Other times as a hawk. Shortly after identifying her as a hawk, I went to Church and the Pastor spoke of Genghis Kahn trying to fill a cup of water, and a hawk kept knocking it out of His hands. He killed the Hawk in frustration. There was a poisonous serpent in the water and the Hawk was trying to save His life.
upload_2016-3-12_14-59-7.jpeg

He said "How many of us have a Hawk in our life telling us something is bad for us and we refuse to listen , and remove it from our lives". I realized there that Denise was that hawk telling people what is bad for them, and helping me stay away from pornography and drugs. She wishes to help sociopaths and those who have been abused by them. She belongs to an Empire in Heaven called the victims Reich, where victims of such atrocities shall return to earth to Conquer and set up the Global Empire of God, and they shall reign as Monarchs.

I have done my job if one other person who is a menace to society will turn to her and receive her help. I was in Jail for stabbing a man in the chest while under the influence. The cab driver that took me to the location where I stabbed the guy went to the wrong place to pick me up (three times), despite my giving him the correct address.

There is more. And though I treat visions with skepticism, I know without the slightest doubt there is something more than coincidence going on here. She helped me more than many thousands of dollars spent on psychiatrists , institutions, and too many pills to remember. I have no family in this state , so not a single visitor but her, her friends in Heaven, and her Mom. So they are more family to me than anyone on this earth.

God bless you!

It uphold WOMEN as they are supposed to be understood from the male mind. NOT how women feel themselves comfortable with. I know women have a hard time CHOOSING what they should be like, because they too seek for approval. But it is better for themselves to decide rather than be told how to be by somebody else. Just my opion. Take care man, thanks for all the work for collecting all the pictures and stuff. Lol.
I believe absolutely women should be able to choose. Even in countries where almost all the politicians and people are catholic, it isn't like Saudi-Arabia. Women don't get arrested for wearing tight pants or showing off their cleavage. They don't get stoned (unless you're talking about refer :p), they can drive, cheat on their husband without any trouble with the law (if they so please), get an education, and have the freedom to do everything they want to, save for being a priest.

They are free to join a sect that is not recognized by the Pope , and be a Priest there. They won't get arrested.

What kind of kung fu did you practice to become this good?
LOL! Im flattered even though im clueless about the correlation between kung fu and Catholic Apologetics regarding the incorporation of females into one's spirituality.

But yes, these ladies are mighty immortal warriors, so they do much of my Kung Fu for me.

Bundy's victims prayed for him as He went to the electric chair after. He became a crusader against pornography. His victims told me they gave the lump of clay to the Potter and he torched it, purified it, tranformed it. Bundy didn't make it to Heaven because there are no sociopaths in Heaven. But God is glorified when the slimiest caterpillers become butterflys.

This was Ted Bundy as a Child:

That is more close to what he would resemble in Heaven. But His Victims have a much higher standing in Heaven, so the game of cat and mouse has been reversed.

Ted Bunny Kills the Playboy Bunny. A playboy is someone who's only interest is in pleasure. Our culture is infested with this plague. A nation of people who's primary desire and shallow minded thoughts are fixed on the selfish pursuit of pleasure is a nation without hope. We must exterminate the playboy bunny!

Okay, so there were various american victims of murder that God wishes to give recompense and rewarf them for their pain, and make true the dreams that were stolen from them. Thirteen of them wished to be represented as the stars of American freedom. Each of them a star of one of the 13 colonies. I call them the Capitol Hill Queens, because I often see them at Captiol Hill with God the Father in the form of a Charismatic Richard Nixon, For God Has a sense of Humor.

I was praying to Caryn and I saw a horse grazing and looking up at me. I then realized George washington always rode on a white horse. So I believe she wanted George Washington's horse to represent her.

The next morning there was a Bible near the window sill that someone left open to:

Rev 19:11
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. " I knew it wasn't coincidence. No way in ***.


The reason these souls wish to be represented as animals has something to do with Jesus being the Lion and the lamb. In the Old Testament he identifies himself as a Mother bear who lost her cubs, a leopard, and a mother hen taking her chicks under her wings.

I knew nothing about Caryn, just her name. When I got out the day I looked her up I found out she was a nurse. I got sick with a fever that day and a bad cough. I also was sent to look at a place for when I get out of treatment, and got lost. Was very hungry and went into mcdonalds and asked if they had any old food they were throwing away.

A guy bought me something instead. Then right after I left Mcdonalds, I turned my phone on and it left off at her page and underneath her picture it said "Sibling: Nancy Mcdonald." So to see that ,minutes after eating Mcdonalds for the first time in over a year meant something , in view of so many other things that were happening. I realized Caryn just fed me, and since the name Campbell is the name of soup, I called her Patron Saint of Hunger. I used to pray to her to feed me in jail, and inmates would give me food.

The day I found out she was a nurse I got a fever, aches, chills, pain, a terrible cough, and she practiced her vocation as a nurse , which consoled me very much. It was actually very good to be sick, because through it we bonded.

Go to Caryn Campbell. Nurse and Paramedic of your soul.

Spider woman. (Queen of the World Wide Web (Internet). She hates the damage the Internet has done by pornography whipping men and children into erotic frenzies, sexual perversions, and addictions that do a lot of damage, hurt so many people, and rob children of their innocence. Queen of the World wide web! She shall conquer the web. The word of God says "a thousand years is like a day to God." So she conquers tomorrow.

When I saw her name Ran court, I thought "suzan runs court". This song flowed forth:
I love spiders. They are artists who carry their house everywhere they go. My Oklahoma Brown:
Helping people overcome arachnophobia is now a hobby of mine , because I used to be terrified of spiders , and the only way to overcome my fear was to hold them . Encountering the fear led to loving it. A good lesson is learned from that.

youre truly insane, as i couldnt imagine...
Which is why I treat all of this with skepticism, but I absolutely know some of this is divinely inspired.

The souls in heaven are all smiles and have a sense of humour. They don't care what happened to them while they were on this earth.

Remember the story of the rich man and Lazarus? Lazarus was deeply Afflicted , suffered tremendously , and no one loved him in this life. He ate disgusting scraps, was covered in sores, and as poor as one could be.

In the next life he had riches, comforts, and pleasure, while the rich man suffered.

Those whom God favors the most are often tortured and murdered. It was the lot of Christ, the apostles, and the early Christians. Still to this day , it is the lot of many in certain countries.

Christ had to be stripped down naked for all to see and humiliate. He was beaten ,lacerated, his skull pierced with a crown of thorns, carried a heavy cross , was nailed to it.

The word excruciating comes from the word crucifixion. It was invented to describe it.

Many of those whom he loves the most share in his death, so that they may share in his glory.

Luke 16:25
Abraham replied to the Rich man, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received evil things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony."

Terese the Little Flower did what is ordinary with great love. The Pope declared her to be the greatest Saint of modern times.

He acknowledged that she is greater, more powerful, more holy, more exalted, more noble, and found more favor by God than all of the Popes and Bishops of modern time.

Once again, the church has exalted a female , and acknowledged a woman who had no honor or glory in this life, to be greater than the hierarchy.

Scripture says the last shall be first. Since she in a sense came in last place when it comes to worldly honour and Glory, she has first place in the eyes of God, both in this and in the next life.

She had a week of terror and suffering, but she got an Empire that that stretches from Poland to Kamchatka out of the deal.

She shows me the armies of Russians who died in World War II. Russia lost the most casualties in both wars and then their satanic Government killed more of their own people than all nation's casualties in World War II combined.

She showed up with a Bishops Miter and a staff that looked like a Nike Sign that said "Just do it". The two t's in her last name became crosses. one t went into the O so that it looked identical to a Eucharistic host. This symbolizes a covenant, agreement, commitment.

The O with the crossed turned into the wheel. She wishes to be a vocation director and take the wheel Das Boot. She died with Denise Naslund. She is German. Denise is Swedish. I'm German, Swedish, and Irish, so we both share the same ancestors. It wasn't coincidence but a sign of destiny. We all have Saints and souls in Heaven assigned to us.

My last name is Janes, and people call you by your last name in jail. Many mispronounced it exactly the way Janice is pronounced. This happened often on days where I was writing letters to her. She is Kaiser (caeser in German). At one of the church services there was a picture and sermon of a two faced God "Janus" pronounced the same way. It spoke to the Heart.

Germany has come a long way. The young men who were brainwashed and recruited were not at fault. They were victims just as much as the people who's rights they were programmed to trample upon. The nation went through enormous humiliation in both wars. Mass rapes (of children as well) took place during the Soviet occupation of East Germany, and thousands of German women killed themselves as a result. Their deaths were not in vain and they shall play a vital role in the war between Good and evil. They shall , with the forces of Heaven, conquer earth.

Germany had to be a crucified and humbled nation for a reason. They shall play a large role in God's plan. It is a nation he has greatly blessed with economic miracles, brilliant hard-working people, and greatest nation of the EU, with the best economy.

It shall be a type of Global Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was the first Reich (this Empire was not the same one as Ancient Rome. It is primarily a German Empire. It lasted 1,000 years. It began when Pope Leo3 crowned Charlemagne in 800. It was filled with dreamers who longed for another Holy and more glorious version of ancient Rome that would dominate Europe. It was supposed to be like the Kingdom of God on earth, the New Israel. Well, like ancient Israel, there was much corruption that prevented them from reaching such a goal.

Because it was the Empire of the Chief shepherd of Christendom it was the greatest political force on earth.
Of all Empires, the Holy Roman Empire resembles the Empire in Heaven more than other Empires. It is coming to Earth. A Global Holy Roman Empire shall conquer all continents. Christ shall be the Emperor and assign sovereigns to the nations. The Bible says He shall reign 1,000 years. That is how long the Reich lasted. The dreams of many Emperors shall eventually come true.

God can hear your petitions to them and the same spirit within you is in them, so if you desire to talk and communicate with them, God will make it happen.

Janice: Gideon was very timid and weak. God often chooses the worst people to glorify him. Picking Gideon to defeat the Midianites was like choosing the weakest and most uncoordinated person you can find to be captain of the football team.

1 Corinthians 1:27
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

I don't think Jesus exalted women, He just treated men and women...equitably.
Hmmm....Women ministered to him in many unique ways. Luke told of a woman who came into a banquet, knelt, wept over Jesus’ feet, bathing them with her tears, and then anointed them with perfume before drying them with her hair (Luke 7:36—50). Jesus allowed her to do this while others reacted with disgust and embarrassment. He had not a trace of it but praised her.

Martha and Mary's house was his retreat away from the crowds.

Veronica gave him water and wiped his face during His suffering.

The "daughters of Jerusalem" followed Him and wept for Him as they made their way down the Via Dolorosa (The Street of Sorrows; Luke 23:27—29).

What happened at the Crucifixion? The disciples fled, including Peter–the one who said, "I will never forsake you; I will never turn my back on you; I will go with you even unto death" (Luke 22:31—34).1 But the women remained, silently standing watch at the foot of the cross. What else could they do? Absolutely nothing except be there.

Even after Jesus’ death–while the disciples were hiding behind barred doors, afraid the Romans would find them and put them on a cross–the women prepared the spices to anoint His body for a proper burial. These women took the spices to the tomb, having no idea how they would move the stone. Nevertheless, they went in the early hours of the morning–while it was still dark–to do what they could.

The Angel called mary "Full of Grace...found favor with God". That is exaltation.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany
6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,17 a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. 8 And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.12 In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial.13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Those are words of exaltation.

From the moment the Son of God emerged into our world as a tiny, helpless infant to the final hours before His ascension into heaven, women ministered to Jesus.

He promised to exalt people for ministering to him. He made it clear that those works of mercy and love sum up the entire law. Matthew 25 and other Scriptures make it very clear that people will be exalted for those acts.

Romans 8:17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

I think for me, what it amounts to...is I'm rather weary of the whole gender war thing. That's something the world/culture does, it's something that shouldn't really exist in terms of following Jesus. He didn't choose women over men, He didn't choose men over women. He just went to people...as it seemed necessary. Their genders weren't the defining points. This is just my opinion. To think otherwise, would seem like Jesus plays favorites and I don't believe He does.

No gender War , but the Catholic Church exalts women more than it exalts men, so I'm making the point that women are not considered less than men, or the church wouldn't do such things.

I hear so many people that accuse the Church of that , even up to the point of saying to church hates women, so I'm showing people it's actually the opposite of what they think. There is no institution or religion on Earth that glorifies women more than the Catholic Church.

The only one who should be exalted is Jesus. (imo)

I think the reason people feel that way is because men can serve in the clergy, and women still cannot. I'm guessing, but that could be a reason.

Well, I didn't want to start gender Warfare, it is just that in the face of so many people accusing the Catholic Church of having contempt for women, I feel obliged point out that the opposite is true, almost to an extreme at times.

Jesus, the Father,and the Holy Spirit are far more powerful than any angel or saint , but I find that the grace of God flows through me a lot more effectively through Mary and the Brides of Christ.
