Description Bible prophecy is being fulfilled daily. John the Baptist cried in the wilderness before the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ in 27AD. Then, the Jewish religions failed to recognise their messiah. Almost 2000 years later, The Loud Cry urges the people of the world to turn to God, in a universal "Call To Repentance," Will world religions fail to see the world's redeemer at His Second Advent? [See the Three Angel's Messages(Rev 14:6-13)] Jesus died for the sins of the world. Repent of your sins to God, accept Jesus as your Lord & Saviour and sin no more. "Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah." (Psa 9:20) "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life." (1Jn 5:19-20)

“The Francis Effect” and the crisis in the Church under Pope Francis.

13 Oct 2015 The Loud Cry Leave a comment

Father Linus Clovis speaks about the fruits of “The Francis Effect” and the crisis in the Church under Pope Francis.

“I came across a quote from someone who knew him (Pope Francis) in Argentina. ‘Apparently, he loves to be loved by all and please everyone, so one day he could make a speech on TV against abortion, and the next day, on the same television show, bless the pro-abortion feminists in the Plaza de Mayo; He can give a wonderful speech against the Masons and, a few hours later, be dining and drinking with them in the Rotary Club.’ So, how can you make a decision about a man like this, who is everybody’s friend?”

Synod bishops may punt the tough issues to the local level

13 Oct 2015 The Loud Cry Leave a comment

By Michael O’Loughlin National reporter October 9, 2015

ROME – As bishops wrap up the first week of deliberations about family life, hints are emerging that complex pastoral challenges could ultimately be addressed not with sweeping changes in Rome, but at the local level. Could national bishops’ conferences come up with their own rules about annulments, Communion, and how to minister to gays and lesbians? Maybe.

By Inés San Martín, Vatican correspondent October 12, 2015

ROME — An Italian journalist banned from the Vatican press office for publishing the pope’s encyclical on the environment too early has dropped another bombshell: A letter to the pope allegedly signed by 13 cardinals raising concerns about left-wing manipulation of the process at the bishops’ synod. There’s just one problem: Four of the cardinals deny they signed it. And a source says that although such a letter exists, the report of its content isn’t accurate.

US Representative in Rome to Push for ‘Global Covenant of World Religions’

by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. 25 Oct 2014

Rome provides a “neutral brokerage” where religious leaders can work together for peace, says Jerry White, the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations. In an interview with Vatican Radio, White spoke of the need for faith leaders to work harder to prevent religiously motivated violence. Islamic state extremists have brought the question of faith and violence to the fore, and the world religions must be in the forefront of the peace process.

Holy Communion for the divorced and remarried but not for those who refuse the Church tax?

12 Oct 2015 The Loud Cry Leave a comment

Edward Pentin’s “The Rigging of a Vatican Synod” is well worth reading. It is subtitled “An Investigation into Alleged Manipulation at the Extraordinary Synod on the Family.” One commentator suggested that Ignatius Press must have insisted on the question mark in the main title and the “alleged” in the subtitle. I’m not sure this is fair. Edward Pentin does present a studiously balanced account, giving quotations and arguments from both sides. The evidence that is presented is clear enough, but it is not forced on the reader. Continue reading Holy Communion for the divorced and remarried but not for those who refuse the Church tax? →

Big meetings in Rome such as the current Synod on the family are always an opportunity for convergence. In a way, they bring out in a very vivid manner the diversity of the Catholic Church or its various ecclesial realities. For example, the current Synod on the family in Rome is shining light on Catholic family situations and communities that don’t often make headlines.

Before U.S. forces bombed twice the Kunduz Hospital in Afghanistan, the Taliban shot down a US C-130 plane. Prior to striking the Abu Graib Infant Formula Production Plant in Iraq, Saddam Hussein attacked Israel with Scud missiles and paraded captured allied airmen on Iraqi TV. Ahead of U.S. forces targeting Amiriyah’s Air Raid Shelter in Iraq which was solely used to protect civilians, there were more U.S. casualties and Iran’s offer to mediate a cease fire.

What do Syria, New Jersey, Lord Jacob Rothschild, and former Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson have in common?

Besides sounding like the introduction to a wince-worthy conspiracy quip, the most elementary answer is also nauseatingly cliché as an explanation for the penchant the U.S. government displays for inserting itself in the domestic affairs of nearly every country in the Middle East: Continue reading What Rothschild, Murdoch, Cheney, and Israel Love Most About Syria →

The Syrian Civil War is entering a third and potentially very dangerous phase in its continuing evolution. It began as a purely domestic crisis, became steadily internationalized as other countries intervened, and it now risks becoming a full blown Russian-American cold war proxy conflict. This is a conflict that could turn hot very quickly given the proximity of American and Russian military forces in the same theater of operations.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Renaissance saw the birth of Christian Kabbalah/Cabala (from the Hebrew קַבָּלָה “reception”, often transliterated with a ‘C’ to distinguish it from Jewish Kabbalah and Hermetic Qabalah^[1]), also spelled Cabbala. Interest grew among some Christian scholars in what they saw to be the mystical aspects of Judaic Kabbalah, which were compatible with Christian theology. Although somewhat obscure, the tradition of Christian Cabala or Catholic Cabala still persists today. Continue reading Christian Cabala / Catholic Cabala →

Germanicus – a look at the German position

9 Oct 2015 The Loud Cry Leave a comment

In Caelo et in Terra

It’s safe to say that the German Synod fathers are scrutinised more heavily by Catholic media than others, and not always fairly, in my opinion. I already mentioned my own misgivings about what Archbishop Koch said in his intervention, but that’s not even remotely the same as accusing him of apostasy and heresy, as some have done. He has a clear understanding about the reality of Catholic life in Germany (which does not differ too much from that in other Protestant/secular parts of Northwestern Europe, and the picture he paints is one we should take seriously.

Vatican City, 9 October 2015 (VIS).

The Pope also launched an appeal to the international community to find a way of resolving current conflicts, and finally urged the bishops to include in their prayer all those zones in Africa that are experiencing similar situations of conflict.

As 270 Catholic bishops from around the world debate issues related to the family inside the Vatican’s Synod Hall from Oct. 4-25, activists, advocacy groups, and ordinary people with a cause to promote or a question to raise have descended on Rome to be active on the sidelines of the event, representing views across the spectrum. Crux is offering periodic snapshots of this “synod outside the synod,” profiling people and their causes.

ROME — Even as the Western world increasingly accepts same-sex marriage and moves on to other battles in the culture wars, the Catholic Church remains steadfast in its conviction that marriage is, and will always be, the union of one man and one woman.
