St Paul of the Cross (1695 –
1775) was utterly convinced that God could be most easily found in the Passion
of Jesus. He formed a community of men (and later a community of nuns) that
would live an evangelical life and promote the love of God revealed in the
Jesus’ Passion. His congregations of men and women are called Passionists.
Such a singular focus could be see
to be unhealthy, and it was a reality that Paul had difficulty attracting
members because of his congregation’s austerity.
But for you and me, our focus
on Jesus’ Passion begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Good Friday. In that time
we are deeply challenged to reflect on the efficacy of Jesus’ suffering and
death. What it achieved for
the first disciples; what it proclaimed
to the people of Jerusalem; what it meant
for the early Christian communities in Rome, Corinth, Thessalonica, Philippi,
Galatia, Ephesus, Colossae etc., what it implies
for all of creation; and finally how it impacts
on me.
When we decide to learn about
something, the greater the commitment we have to the learning experience, the
greater is our learning. The learning itself can and ought lead to a changed, matured, and fuller understanding of
the area of study. For those who chose to read, study and examine the Passion
narratives the richness is quite overwhelming. Jesus’ Passion moves well beyond
efficacy to transformative and
ultimately, salvific. If we allow it,
the impact will be extraordinary.
And if this is so, how does it
change the way I live and work? Just as for Paul of the Cross, the Passion of
Jesus becomes a lens through which I view the world, my behaviour towards
others and my actions. If I act like Jesus, I am unselfish, I am full
of compassion, I am prepared to carry
the pain of those I love, I will share
all that I am.
As we enter this final week of
our preparation for Easter, I firmly encourage you to see beyond the latter day
customs of chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and fluffy bunny rabbits.
A community of Passionist
priests and brothers is present in Hobart at St Joseph’s in the city.

Are you *currently* being sent into Hell forever ... automatically excommunicated (outside) of God’s Catholic Church ?
Answer: Yes you are ... you can reverse it ... please continue.
Council of Florence, Session 8, 22 Nov 1439 -- infallible Source of Dogma >
"Whoever wills to be saved, before all things it is necessary that he holds the Catholic faith. Unless a person keeps this faith whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish eternally."
You must believe the Catholic Dogma to be in the Church ... Dogma you have *never* seen.
Site > Immaculata-one.com ... infallible Dogma throughout.
The Catholic Faith *is not* Bible interpretation ... it is the Catholic infallible Sources of Dogma. The Catholic Church didn’t even define the Bible’s New Testament Canon until 397 A.D. at the Council of Carthage.

Can a group which enforces the opposite, the opposite, and the opposite of the Catholic unchangeable Dogma be the Catholic Church?
No, it cannot possibly be the Catholic Church ... and promotion of the opposite of the Catholic Dogma is exactly what the vatican-2 heretic cult does ... and has been doing since it’s founding on 8 December 1965 at the Vatican.
The vatican-2 heresy does not have the Office of the Papacy ... only the Catholic Church has the Papacy.
The Dogma cannot “change” or be “reversed” ... God does not “change”.
The founding documents of the vatican-2 heretic cult … the “vatican-2 council” documents … have well over 200 heresies *against* prior defined unchangeable Dogma. Every (apparent) bishop at the “council” approved the mountain of heresy, which caused their automatic excommunication, see Section 13.2 of the below site.

Section 12 > Anti-Christ vatican-2 heresies (50 listed) ... followed by many Catholic corrections.
Sections 13 and 13.1 > Photographic *proof* of heresy at the Vatican.
Because of … the Catholic Dogma on automatic excommunication for heresy or for physical participation in a heretic cult (such as the v-2 cult) …
… we were all placed, body and soul, *outside* of Christianity (the Catholic Church) on 8 December 1965 … the close date of the “council”.
Section 13.2 > Catholic Dogma on automatic excommunication for heresy or participating in a heretic cult such as ... vatican-2, lutheran, methodist, evangelical, etc.
Section 107 > St. Athanasius (died 373 A.D.) ... “Even if the Church were reduced to a handful ...” - - during the “arian” heresy ... we are there again, but worse.
Section 13.3 > Matt 16:18, Gates of Hell scripture ... is *not* about the Office of the Papacy ... four Dogmatic Councils defined it ... that heresy will not cause the Dogma to disappear.
Section 13.4 > The vatican-2 heretic cult does not have the Office of the Papacy only the Catholic Church has the Papacy.
Section 13.6 > The Catholic Dogma on Jurisdiction and Automatic Excommunication for heresy define that ... God has allowed Catholic Jurisdiction ... for Mass and Confession to disappear from the world. There is no such thing as Catholic Mass outside of the Catholic Church.
Non-Catholic heresies such as “vatican-2”, “sspx”, “sspv”, “cmri”, etc. ... do not have Catholic Mass.
Section 19.1 > Dogma on Abjuration for *re-entering* Christianity (the Catholic Church) … after being automatically excommunicated. A Formal Abjuration is provided here also.
Section 10.2 > Returning to a state of grace, in places and times when Confession is not available, like now.

Second Council of Constantinople, 553 A.D. -- infallible Source of Dogma >
"The heretic, even though he has not been condemned formally by any individual, in reality brings anathema on himself, having cut himself off from the way of truth by his heresy."
Blessed John Eudes, died 1680 >
“The greatest evil existing today is heresy, an infernal rage which hurls countless souls into eternal damnation.”
