    "Catholic"   means "universal", and indeed, Catholicism spreads all over the world, in all the known countries, races, and peoples... in 1995, accounts for 50% of all the Christians, 12% are Orthodox, and 38% Protestants. Today, in 1997, there are 2,100 million Christians.

    Doctrines, believes, practices: It is also "universal" in the sense that it accepts and practices all the teachings of Jesus Christ. The comments made on "Christianity", all of them apply to "Catholicism"... It accepts all the teachings of the Bible, all the teachings of the 21 Ecumenical Councils after the one in Jerusalem in Acts 21, and accepts all the dogmas and teachings proclaimed by the 262 Popes.

    "Roman Catholics": It is also known as "Roman Catholicism", because its head, the "Pope", resides in the Vatican, in Rome... the actual Pope, John Paul II, is the 262 successor of St. Peter...  See The Kingdom                                           

The Church of Christ, Catholicism, was born at Calvary, among pains and blood, like all the births, and it was made public at Pentecost, 50 days after the Resurrection Sunday, in the year 33.

- In these almost 2,000 years, the accomplishments have been immense, really fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus, "whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these" (Jn.14:12)...

... In the statistics of 1992 (Yearbook of the Church), Catholicism touches the lives of "billions", "every day":

- The Church run 5,478 Hospitals with 4,500 million people treated, 14,806 Dispensaries, 793 Leprosariums, 27,281 Homes for the aged homeless and handicapped, 7,102 Orphanages, 9,293 Nurseries, 97,823 Special Centers for Social Services, 8,216 Matrimonial Advice Centers... and practically "billions" attended in their "homes", for sickness, aged, children, emotional problems, marriages, drugs, alcohol...

- The Catholic Church in 1992 run 52,828 kindergartens with an attendance of 5 million students, 80,612 Elementary and Primary Schools with 25 million students, 31,711 Secondary Schools with 13 million students, and 2 million students in its 6,400 Colleges and Universities.

- In the USA, in 1993, the Church run 606 hospitals with 54 million patients treated; 1,592 Specialized Homes; 188 Orphanages took care of 75,890 children; 2,115 Centers for Social Services helped 20 million people... it run 7,136 Elementary Schools with 2 million students, 1,248 High Schools with 603,679 students, 227 Colleges and Universities with 643,127 students, 96 Schools for Handicapped with 8,764 students (The Official Catholic Directory, 1994).

... And all of these statistical data are "nothing", compared with the "billions" of daily good works produced by one billion Catholics around the world.

... I can't find data on the number of leaflets, newspapers, magazines, books, radio, television, full time missionaries and evangelists around the world... but the numbers run into the "millions"!.

    Saints: There are over 3,000 "canonized Saints", Butler records the lives of 2,565 in 1956.

    They resurrected 400 persons: St. Patrick: 39, one of them, 3 years after her death; St. Vincent Ferrer 28, St. Francis Xavier 10... The Bible records 3 resurrections by Jesus, and a total of 8 resurrections in the whole bible... indeed, the words of Jesus are true, "whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these" (Jn.14:12)... all of these recorded in the "process of canonization", by, probably, the most strict Tribunal on earth.

    Incorrupt: At least 100 Saints had their bodies "incorrupt", when they were unburied in the process of canonization: St. Teresa of Avila, St. Vincent of Paul, St. Bernadette of Lourdes, St. Francis Xavier, St. Catherine Laboure in Paris...

    Supernatural visions: The Bible describes dozens of "supernatural visions"... in the lives of the Saints there thousands of visions, apparitions...

    Miracles: The Bible reports hundreds of "miracles... in the lives of the saints "millions"... of "miraculous healing", "miracles over nature", "levitations", "bilocations", "stigmatized" with the wounds of Jesus... and all of them real, historic, endorsed by the "Tribunals" of the process of beatification and canonization...

... and the most important fact in the lives of the Saints are not those miracles and manifestations, but lives lived daily in Christ, notable for holiness and virtues practiced... in fact, many of the most well known Saints did not have their bodies incorrupt, nor they did many extraordinary miracles, like St. Francis of Assisi, St. Dominic, St. Catherine of Sienna, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Therese of Lisieux...

    1- General Organization: (Pags.342-346):

    The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church; it is divided in Dioceses, each one with a Bishop as the head, named by the Pope. And each Diocese is divided into Parishes, each one headed by a Priest-Pastor named by the Bishop...  Look at Organization of the Church of Christ.

- In 1992, there were 2,400 Dioceses, plus 12 Patriarchates for the Catholic-Orthodox Dioceses... with 404,136 Priests, 865,902 Nuns, 61,082 Brothers, and 19,395 Deacons whose number is growing up very fast.

- There are also 807 "Archbishops", who are Bishops leading Dioceses of special importance, and 138 "Cardinals", with the privilege to choose the next Pope, all named by the Pope.

    2- Inter-Diocesan Organizations:
    Besides this general organization, there are in the Church hundreds of Associations working in several Dioceses, and ready to move to any part of the world as they may be needed: The Cursillo movement, Charismatics, Legion of Mary, holy Name Society, Ladies of the Sacred Heart... They are lie the Synagogues in the times of Jesus.

A total of 1,077,754 persons with the "vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience"... neither one has a personal bank account nor gets married, to be full time available, totally dedicated to serve God and their neighbors... a most beautiful crown of the Church of Christ!.

- There are two main kinds of "Orders":
    1- "Monks": They stay all their life in the same monastery; started by St. Benedict.
    2- "Friars": They are ready to move to any place at any time; started by St. Dominic.

- In more than 2,000 Orders, they do an immense work of evangelism and good deeds for the neighbor... but they are so humble, that I could not find specific data in most of them:

However, to have an idea, her are some data:

    The "De la Salle Christian Brothers", number 7,500, teaching 1 million students in 1,100 places, within 82 countries; the data taken from the Internet. Call (800) 433-7593.

    The "Augustinians, and Recollects": They number 4,543. In New York, the Augustinian Recollects have 42 Priests, doing a good work with the Hispanics, Cursillo Center, 8 Parishes, charismatic renewal, neo-catechumenate, hospital chaplaincies. Call my friends, Fr. Peluso or Fr. Gregorio (718) 823-458-1221, or my other friends, Fr. Duenas or Blas (718) 823-0460, or my friend Fr. Angel (212) 534-0704    Augustinians

    These are modern institutions approved by Pius XII, in 1947... their members, like the "Orders", have vows of "poverty, chastity and obedience"... some members are "priests", most of them are "like laymen", or "laywomen" working as lawyers, doctors, farmers, bankers, electricians, plumbers, teachers, textile industries, diplomatic, taxi cabs... but with "vows": Neither one marries, to dedicate themselves full time to serve God and their neighbors... there are however "married members", not with "vows", but with "promises" of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

    - So, in the "Secular Institutes" there are usually 3 kinds of members:
    1- Priests.
    2- "Non-married" secular men, or women, with vows like a Carmelite.
    2- "Married" persons with promises.

- There are today, in 1997, 186 Canonically erected Secular Institutes for men and women, doing wonderful work, in the middle of society.

    - "Opus Dei" ("Work of God"):
    It is the best known, with 80,000 members in 80 countries. Founded by Blessed Josemaria Escriva in 1928; Pope John Paul II established it as a personal prelature in 1982, with the title of "Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei"... join it!... call my friend Dr. Mastew, in New York (212) 222-3285.   Opus Dei

    - The "Acies Cristi" ("Army of Christ"): Founded by Msgr. Avelino de Castro, is doing good work in Europe and America... Join it!... Call my friends Dr. Julio Gonzalo o Dr. Durantez, in Madrid (91) 547-7051. Like the Opus Dei, it is for men and women.

There are thousands of "Catholic Associations and Movements", that correspond to the "synagogues" of the Old Testament. They are laymen or lay women that unite like a family, pray and study together, they help each other in their spiritual and material needs... and help the neighbors to go to Heaven.

- Join one of them!... to do so, just ask the Pastor in your Parish, or a Cursillista, or a Charismatic, or a Legionnaire, or Renew...

Cursillos of Christianity:

    The "Cursillo" is a 3 days retreat, where you live the Christian fundamentals. Based on the "Mystical Body of Christ" of 1Cor.12, you live the live of "grace", the Sacraments, and a life of love, where each one is brother or sister of the other, like my right hand is sister of my left hand... only one body in Christ!.
    After the "Cursillo", we live this life of love and evangelizing, joining in small "Groups of Friends", and several Groups form an "Ultreya" in the Parish... to help each other in the spiritual and material needs, and to help many to go to Heaven.
    I am actually the President of the Secretariat of Cursillos in Spanish in New York... and for me, it has been a glorious life in Christ for 39 years.
    There are Cursillistas practically in all the countries of the Catholic world. In New York, we have 86 Ultreyas; in Brooklyn, 75.
    Join us!... Make a Cursillo... just ask your Catholic Pastor, or any Cursillista... in New York, call me or my friends, (718) 796-4340. Cursillos in Christianity, Cursillo Movement - Cursillo Movement

    The "Catholic Charismatic Renewal" is thousands of Groups of lay and religious, men and women, in all the countries of the Catholic world, who meet in "Prayer Groups" to praise the Lord, practice the charismas of healing, prophecy, tongues... of 1Cor.12, help each other in our spiritual and material needs, and help many of our neighbors to go to Heaven.
    In New York, we have 265 Prayer Groups in Spanish, and hundreds of others in English, Portuguese, Italian, Jamaicans...
    I am in the Charismatic Renewal for 25 years, and it has been a wonderful experience for me... actually, I am a member of the "Group of Coordinators" for the Hispanics in New York.
    Join us... make a "Charismatic Retreat", or a "Seminar", or just join a "Prayer Group"... ask a Priest, or a lay Charismatic, in any Catholic Parish.... in New York call me, or my friends, (718) 378-1734. Charismatic Renewal - Charismatics - Catholic Charismatic Renewal
 

    They are Groups (Presidiums), of lay brothers and sisters wishing to give everything to Jesus through Virgin Mary, following the "order of redemption". We are all over the Catholic world.
    In our weekly meetings of the Presidium, each member commits himself to 2 hours of specific visits to help neighbors in their spiritual needs, and each one reports the work done the past week. We help each other to become Saints, in our material and spiritual needs.
    I worked in the Legion of Mary for 15 years, and it is glorious... in New York, there are hundreds of Groups in English, Spanish...
    Join us!... ask in any Catholic Parish... in New York, the Senatus, (212) 752-7966. Legion of Mary
    ... If you can not do active work, you can be an "Auxiliary member", praying daily the "catena".

Knights of Columbus    The Christophers    Youth      Worldwide Marriage Encounter

Slaves Carmelites Penitents for Priests:

    My wife, Gladys, started this Association in 1975, and there are now involved 26,000 persons, lay men and women, nuns, brothers, priests, 500 Bishops, 100 Cardinals, and the last 3 Popes.
    Each laymen or lay women, or nun, after making the total Consecration to Mary, according to St. Louis Mary of Montfort, becomes a "god-father" or a "god-mother" for a Priest, offering his life for the sanctification and perseverance of that Priest.
    In return, that Priest, prays for his "god-father" or "god-mother" very specially in each Mass.
    There is no money involved... and no personal contact involved... the Priest only knows the first name of his "god-father", and the "god-father" or god-mother" only knows the first name of the Priest, but he doesn't know even in what part of the world the Priest lives... the "god-mother" of the Pope, for example, only knows he is offering his life for Father John Paul.
    It is just a "spiritual work"... and when Pope Paul VI approved it, he shed tears, and says, "this is what is needed in the Church today".
    I am a god-father for a Priest for 20 years, and it is beautiful.
    Join us!... Call Gladys, in New York, (718) 892-5886.

    It is a good work of my wife, Gladys, since 1995.
    If you know of any person who wants to make an Abortion, call Gladys and give her the name and telephone of the person who wants to have an Abortion.... Gladys will take care from there. Your name and telephone will remain "secret", no one will know that you are the one who called.
    So far, more that 300 persons have not done the Abortion they were planning... the baby was born!.
    The method is to talk with the person who wants to have the Abortion, try to help her with her problems: May be she has no home, or she is not married, or the parents want her out...
    ... Gladys tries to help her finding a home, or finding a place to learn English, or to find a job, or with the problems with Immigration... always using the institutions of the Church.
    The fact is that, so far, none of them has made the Abortion... Gladys helps, prays... and keeps on talking on the telephone up to 3 hours, until the person decides not to have the Abortion!...
    Same "Secret Agents" started to do Gladys's job... try to do the same in your area.
    If you know anyone who wants to have an Abortion, just call Gladys, in New York, (718) 892-5886, day or night.

There are hundreds, all of them very good, and each one different... Join one!... they are like the" synagogues" in the times of Jesus.

... Talk to the Priest of your Parish, and he may tell you which one is the best for you:
    - We have in our home a "Cenacle for Priests" every first Thursday of the month.
    - The "Catholic Action", where I worked for 15 years.
    - The "Holy Name Society" for men, where I was for 10 years;
    - "Ladies of the Sacred Heart of Jesus";
    - "Communities" of different kinds; the "Neo-Catechumenate" movement of Kiko;
    - The "Program of Light and Life", of my friend Bishop Arias of New Jersey, to study and live the Bible;
    - The "Workshops of Prayer and Life", where my friend Elias is a national leader in the USA WWW.TOVPIL.COM
    - Renew" is another good program to live the Bible;
    - "Daughters of Mary", "Boys and Girl Scouts", "Youth and Senior Groups", "Third Orders", "Alcoholic or Narcotic Anonymous", "Marriage Encounters", "Parents Organizations", "Anti-Abortion Groups", "Social Organizations".... and, of course, "Parish Councils", "Choirs", "Clubs", "Confraternities", ... thousands!... Join one!.

    The Catholic Church accepts the teachings and dogmas pronounced by all the 21 "Ecumenical Councils" after the one in Jerusalem in Acts.15... these Councils are "infallible", as stated by Jesus in Matt. 18:18.
    There are over 500 "dogmas" pronounced by these Councils, which are like a light to the faithful... the "Denzinger" collects most of them.
    "Dogma" ("what seems right"), is a "definitive" or "infallible" teaching of the Church, to give light to teachings of the Bible. The formal and deliberate rejection of a dogma is an act of heresy.
    Every Christian, should have the "Bible" and the "Denzinger". See "Christianity", "Tradition".

    CATHOLIC LIBRARY: The 21 Ecumenical Councils - CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: General Councils  
    Second Vatican Council - The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, Dedicated to "The Immaculate".

    The "Catechism of the Catholic Church" reminds us what the Bible is: "In the Bible, the Church constantly finds her nourishment and strength, for she welcomes it not as a human word, but as what really is, "the Word of God". In the Bible, the Father who is in heaven comes lovingly to meet his children, and talks to them... such is the force and power of the Word of God that it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, and the children of the Church as strength for their faith, food for their soul, and a pure and lasting font of spiritual life. Hence, access to the Bible ought to be open wide to the Christian faithful"... The Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures as she venerated the Body of the Lord: Both nourish and govern the whole Christian life" (Catch. 104, 131, 141).

    In fact, it was the Church who gave us the number of Books of the Bible: The Bibles of all Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestants, contain the Books given to us by the Pope St. Damasus in the Council of Rome, in 382... many Protestants do not realize that the Bible they cherish was given to them by a Pope (See "Scriptures").

    In the 4th Century, the Catholic Church translated the Bible into the vulgar language, to make it available to all the Christians: The "Vulgate" of St. Jerome, ordered by Pope St. Damasus.

    In the 16th Century it was also the Catholic Church who ordered to print the Bible, after the "invention of the press" by Gutenberg... and, in fact, the Bible was the first book printed by Gutenberg.

    We have already commented it on "Beliefs and Practices", "Sacraments"   Eucharist - The Holy Mass
    But now, just a word in this section, because the Catholic Church says that "the Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church's life" (Catechism 1407)... and the Vatican II says that it is the beginning, the culmination, and the end, of all apostolic work of the Church.
    The essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is Calvary and the Resurrection: It is not that Calvary is just repeated or remembered, it is the "miracle of time and space": When you attend Mass, it is exactly as if you were at Calvary in the first Good Friday next to Virgin Mary and St. John... and with the soldiers on Eastern Sunday.
    The Mass displays two great parts:
    1- The gathering, prayers of repentance, adoration, praise, thanksgiving. The "liturgy of the Word", with readings, prayer of a Psalm, the homily, and prayers of intercession and petition.
    2- The "liturgy of the Eucharist", with the presentation of the bread and wine, the Consecratory thanksgiving, prayers for the death, and Communion with thanksgiving.

    The "Rosary" is a typical Catholic devotion, called "the epitome of the whole Gospel", in the Catechism (971); the "compendium" or "summary" of the whole Gospel!.
    It is a "biblical prayer", a prayer of humility, for beginners, a most sacred prayer for the mature.
    It was given by Virgin Mary to St. Dominic, in 1205, and since them, it has been prayed by all Catholics: Popes, Bishops, Saints, priests, laity...
The Rosary is to pray with Mary to Jesus, to glorify the Father and the Spirit, and to bless the Mother of the Son, the Spouse of the Spirit, and the highly favored daughter of the Father.

    The full Rosary consists of "20 Mysteries": 5 Joyful Mysteries, 5 Sorrowful, and 5 Glorious and 5 Luminous. In each Mystery, we pray one Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, and 1 Glory, while we meditate or contemplate in the Mystery.
    - The "Our Father", is the prayer that Jesus taught us to pray (Matt.6)
    - The "Hail Mary", is the most intimate and poetic prayer of praise to Jesus in the Bible: See "Beliefs and Practices", "What to Pray".
    - The "Glory" is the prayer of praise the angels and saint sing in Heaven, repeating it every minute of the day and night for all eternity, as John saw in Rev.4:8,9,11.

... If you want to learn how to pray it, ask any Catholic... I pray 3 daily, one with the family.
    Rosary, Eucharistic and Biblical , for the Eucharistic Year 2004-2005 

The Catholic Church registers and approves several apparitions of Jesus, Mary, Saints, Angels...

- But lately, since 1961, it has been an avalanche of apparitions. To have an idea, since 1900 to 1961 there were 21 reported apparitions to the Vatican; since 1961 there have been over 2,000 reported apparitions to the Vatican in the 6 continents, in more than 80 countries.

- In the U.S.A., the Virgin has become "an American"!... appearing practically in all States, and in some them in different places, and to different persons: New York, Colorado, Texas, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Atlanta, California, Virginia, Florida, Puerto Rico...
- The first apparition of the Virgin Mary, was in Zaragoza, Spain, while she was still alive.
- In 1205, appeared to St. Dominic in France, and gave him the Rosary, for us to pray!.
- In 1251, to St. Simon Stock in London, and gave him the scapular, for us to ware!... with the beautiful promise, "he who dies with the scapular, will not go to Hell".
- In 1384 at Chestochova, in Poland.
- In 1531 in Mexico, the Virgin of Guadalupe, to bring all Latin-America to Jesus.
- She appeared in Paris, in 1830, to bring us her Miraculous Medal... with millions of reported miracles by those using her Medal.
- She appeared in 1879 at Knock, Ireland, to emphasize the importance of the Eucharist.
- Jesus, appeared to St. Margaret in France, bringing the devotion to the "Sacred Heart", and to Blessed Faustina, in Poland, as the "Divine Mercy"... the same merciful Jesus of the Gospels, in love with us, waiting daily in the Eucharist!.
- Virgin Mary appeared on the top of a Coptic Church in Cairo, in 1968, witnessed by millions of all religions...even Islam trembled, with such a little thing!... also in Ukraine and Shanghai, in 1981 and 1988, with millions of witnesses... and now, even the Communists trembled!.
- La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, Garabandal, Medjugorge... are most important to understand and live the period of the "last times".
    Apparitions of Jesus, Mary, and the Father   Apparitions of Jesus Christ Art Gallery

- Garabandal: Obviously, I can't even mention them all, but I would like to mention some events promised at Garabandal, Spain, 1961... they are coming soon... and they will affect all your life... no matter what religion you practice:
    1- The "Warning": It will be witnessed, not by 70,000 people, as it was in Fatima, but by every human being on the Planet: For 15 minutes, everybody on earth will be like in front of God, seeing his or her own sins, and the bad repercussions of them; something extraordinary will appeared in the sky that anybody can see; all the machines on earth will "stop": watches, airplanes, refrigerators... no one will die... it will happen before the Great Miracle, as a preparation for it.
    2- The Great Miracle: This will happen at Garabandal: Something extraordinary, that can be seen, televised, but not touched... it will remain there until the end of time; the sick will be healed; more faith... Virgin Mary told the date of this Miracle to Conchita, the Vatican knows it, and Conchita will tell the date to everybody one week in advance.
    3- The Chastisement: "If" the people in the world do not repent and convert, there will be a Great Chastisement.
