"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit" (Matthew 7:15-18).


BE ALERT!  There are a number of organizations that claim to be Catholic, but dissent from the truth handed down by Jesus to His apostles and their successors - the Pope and the Magisterium.  They cleverly promote their objectives under the guise of "tolerance", "social justice", or "equal rights."  St. Paul clearly warned us of this in Acts 20:30 -  "And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them." Dissenting Organizations is an excellent resource, providing a listing of false Catholic groups, information on their agenda and tactics, and in depth analysis of some of the organizations. 


 Consider this quote:  "false compassion in the form of "tolerance" is the highest form of treason."  It seems that any form of "intolerance" in our society is automatically labelled bigotry.  And yet, if we do not speak the truth with love to our brothers and sisters, it is the spiritual equivalent of watching them sky dive without a parachute!

"Fight to the death for Truth, and the Lord God will do battle for you." ~ Sirach 4:33


"Comfort in tribulation can be secured only on the sure ground of faith holding as true the words of Scripture and the teaching of the Catholic Church. ~ St. Thomas More
“Love of Christ does not distract us from interest in others, but rather invites us to responsibility for them, to the exclusion of no one….” ~ Pope John Paul II

CS Lewis once remarked that Hell is full of people who said "My will be done". Heaven is full of people who said "Thy will be done", so choose wisely !

"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions."  ~ G. K. Chesterton

"The more one understands the holiness of God, the more one understands the opposite of what is holy, namely, the deceptive masks of the devil."  ~  Pope Benedict VI
