Pope
Benedict XVI has sharply condemned a group of dissident Austrian priests and
laymen for questioning key teachings of the Catholic Church.
The group,
known as the Pfarrer Initiative, has challenged the church on topics such as
priestly celibacy and its ban on female priests.
Speaking
during a Maundy Thursday mass in the Vatican, the Pope said he would not
tolerate disobedience.
Correspondents
say the pontiff's criticism was unusually outspoken.
About 15%
of Austria's 2,000 priests signed the initiative's call for disobedience in
June last year.
The appeal
calls for "long-needed reforms" and the "admission of women and
married people to the priesthood".
The Pope
said he understood that the priests were acting out of concern for the Church
and thought drastic action was needed.
"But
is disobedience really a way to do this?" he asked worshippers gathered in
St Peter's basilica.
'Own
preferences'
He accused
the group of making "a desperate push to do something to change the Church
in accordance with one's own preferences and ideas".
The Pope
added that his teachings on the subjects raised by the group were not his own,
but the Church's.
"We
preach not private theories and opinions, but the faith of the Church, whose
servants we are," he said.
He also
directly rebuffed demands for the Church to allow the ordination of women,
"for which Blessed Pope John Paul II stated irrevocably that the Church
has received no authority from the Lord".
Maundy
Thursday is the day when Catholic priests traditionally renew the vows they
made when they were ordained, including that of celibacy, says the BBC's David
Willey in Rome.

“.. For centuries you haven't been able to think past that box of what God must be like. So you create a Human-like God with wars in heaven, angel strife, things that would explain the devil, fallen angels, pearly gates, lists of dos and don'ts, and many rules still based on cultures that are centuries old. You create golden streets and even sexual pleasures as rewards for men (of course) - all Human perspective, pasted upon God. I want to tell you that it's a lot different than that. I want to remind you that there are those who have seen it! Why don't you ask somebody who has had what you would call a near-death experience?

9. It can be no other way—simply, this is the physics that governs life in this universe. As Earth continues apace into successively higher planes, nothing with low vibrations in any form—physical bodies, subversive plans, theft, dishonesty, unjust laws and imprisonment, bigotry, cruel customs and deeds—can survive.
10. Moving on, no, it will not be quite like religions being “totally discarded and replaced by universal laws in the Golden Age.” When the truths come forth that science and spirit are one and the same and that religious dogmas were originated by early leaders of church and state to control the masses, people whose consciousness has risen beyond the constraints of third density will adhere to the spiritual aspects of their respective religions and the devised, controlling aspects will fall by the wayside.
11. One of the truths to come forth is that Zionism, which by dark intent has been made synonymous with Judaism, actually is a bellicose political movement within the Illuminati, and its aim for more than six decades has been to create conflict and instability in the entire Middle East. Zionists, who have wielded powerful influence within and behind major governments and their military forces, do NOT represent the Jewish peoples in Israel or anywhere else. And, like all other Illuminati factions, they have been committed to that cabal’s goal of global domination.
12. Although Semites are of diverse national origins and religions, the Zionists have been successful in convincing many that “anti-Semitic” is exclusively prejudice against the Jewish peoples and opposition to Israel’s right to defend itself from its “enemies.” By means of that blatant distortion, they obtained not only world sympathy, but also massive defense funding from Israel’s allies, most especially the United States, all of which served to increase the Illuminati’s vast profits from their industrial-military machine.
13. In addition to controlling the masses through dogmatic teachings, religions have served the dark purpose of divisiveness to such an extent that it resulted in centuries of trauma and bloodshed. Witness the Crusades, wars between Catholics and Protestants, pogroms against Jews, executions of “blasphemous” individuals who refused to “recant.” (Read More …)
