2009 Calendar Scrbd

2009 Catholic Calendar Made in conformity with the laws of the Only Holy Catholic and Apostolic Roman Church by His Holiness Pope Michael. These laws vary from the Antichurch of Vatican II, called the Pog or People Of God Church in one of the Vatican II documents. This Antichurch has removed many Catholic feasts, moved a few others and retained only a mere skeleton of the Catholic Calendar that has evolved under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. In fact, the Pog Church has renamed the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit, but that is another story. This calendar retains the spirit of fasting that began after the Ascension by the Apostles. And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast. (Matthew 9:15) The Pog Church has eliminated fasting completely and so reduced abstinence to be a joke. In fact, many in that church do not even abstain on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent as obliged by the laws of their church. Catholics were derogatorily called fish-eaters, because they abstained from meat on all Fridays of the year. This, of it self, proves that the Pog Church of Vatican II is not Catholic, because a practice which goes back tot eh time of the Apostles has been cast aside! Although they claim to have returned to ancient practices, how many ancient practices have been totally ignored. Do they begin the observance of the Lord’s Day the evening before and remain all night in church as the early Christians did? We pray that this calendar will help Catholics to live the Catholic way of life, beginning by observing the feasts and fasts of the Catholic Church in a holy manner. Pope Michael

Note: all days of Lent are Fast days. 1. On days of Fast, only one full meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals may be taken according to one’s needs; but together they should not equal another full meal. 2. On days of Partial Abstinence, meat and soup or gravy from meat may be taken once a day at the principal meal, even by those not obliged to fast. 3. On days of complete abstinence, no meat or meat soup or gravy may be taken. See chart on last page. The world takes no notice of Lent. People go to the butchers like dogs. (Our Lady of La Salette) Note well that fast and abstiencen laws of the Catholic Church bind under pain of mortal sin.

* In 1955, Pope Pius XII extended the fast of Lent until Midnight on Holy Saturday. Pope Michael has granted a privilege to all visible members of the Catholic Church to end the Fast of Lent at Noon on Holy Saturday, provided they have renewed their Baptismal promises. No one else may presume this permission, and the law of fasting obliges under pain of mortal sin.
