SACRAMENTS ARE A BAD FRUIT

Jesus said that you know the tree by what fruit it has.  If he founded the Catholic Church then its sacraments are simply bad fruit.  They do not work to heal souls.

The Catholic system has a harmful hierarchy framework based around dispensing sacraments.

The sacraments themselves as we have said have no remarkable powers.

No Catholic priest broke ranks to stop and expose his paedophile co-workers in the priesthood. And this despite the fact that they teach that we must suffer to the point of bloodshed for the cause of justice. The whole child-abuse abomination was covered up and steps were taken to move the abusers around to help them find new flesh to violate. The priests during all this time were smug in their virtue and ate their communion every day - eating communion is a declaration that you believe yourself to be righteous and clean from sin and right with God. They judged sinners in the confessional - this too declares that the priest is claiming to be holy enough so that he can be in a position to judge in the place of Christ. Apologies are plenty. Their apologies are hollow. It is hard to believe that people who are so cold could really be sorry. And especially when this smug unjustified sense of righteousness and holiness was carried for years and decades. The evil of the priesthood is proof that religion is self-deceit. It shows that the biggest number of religionists - if not all - must be deceiving themselves.

Christianity certainly leads to trouble. Christians hunt for miracles and end up tricked and robbed by evangelists and visionaries. Sick people die for they depend on miracles more than on their doctors and they are let down. Even the Christians themselves admit that most apparitions and miracle claims are untrue or doubtful.

The sacraments of the Church are supposed to heal you of your evil weakness and make you a servant of God and wipe away sin. But we have seen by the results that there is nothing special about Catholic holiness and and indeed it is just sham. All that to me indicates that the sacraments of the Church do much more than fail to work. It really does look like that some twisted and dark power that likes to hide itself in the robes of virtue exists in the Church and is passed on like a virus by the sacraments. The sacraments are a clear sign that if they impart supernatural power, then this power is not good, it is evil. It is from Hell. If the sacraments have no good results that can be traced to their power then they are pacts with the Devil. Satan would want people to undergo ineffective therapy. The results of the sacraments indicate that Jesus was the emissary of Satan masquerading as the emissary of God if it is true that Jesus empowers the sacraments.
 
The Church teaches that doctrine and teaching is important but the healing power of the sacraments is more important. For example, the imbecile will be helped by the sacraments though he can't learn many doctrines. Parents stupidly think they should have their children baptised with a view to having them sent to Catholic schools to educate them as good people. They focus on the teaching aspect. But this is misplaced. The main focus is the healing power. Indeed it is the only focus for the Church declares that all the teaching in the world will do no good unless your heart is opened to God by the supernatural power of the sacraments. We are said to be closed to God by nature and we need his grace to get us into a position where we can choose him and his ways and receive his virtue-infusing power. The priests - because they wish to manipulate - don't warn parents to have the right reasons for having their child enrolled in Catholicism and its schools.

Another bad feature in Catholicism is exorcism.  It is closely tied to baptism, confession and communion.  These rites supposedly remove the presence of demons.

The brain is so complex and some people fake mental illness so the idea that a mental illness being declared inexplicable and so down to demons permits the Church to perform an exorcism is scandalous. It should be made illegal and these exorcists should be forced by law to abandon their exorcist roles. They should be sued by the patients they work with. To tell a person with brain disorders that show up that they may be possessed is bad enough. But to tell a person with one that doesn’t show up is far worse for at least when the cause is known something can be done about it and it is not as scary for the patient. It is dishonest of the Church to parade seemingly successful exorcisms as evidence that the Church is true while saying the failed ones were just down to some unknown form of mental disorder just because they failed. That is making the evidence fit what you want to believe. Medical science could never agree with an exorcism for it says that there is so much about the brain that we don’t understand even today. The exorcisms are just sacrificing innocent people to fanatical religious dogma. The Church may wait until mental illness is declared inexplicable before doing anything but inexplicable only means it can’t be explained yet not that it is necessarily supernatural. It still does not give the Church the right to attempt exorcism. The entire belief in exorcism and possession is evil and whoever promotes it is either stupid or a fanatic.
