Auguiste addresses the congregation after his ordination last year

Just over a year after he was ordained, Calvin Auguiste, of St. Joseph, has left the priesthood, information reaching Dominica News Online has revealed.

The reasons for his departure are unknown at this point but sources have confirmed his exit to Dominica News Online.

Reports are that he left the parish in St. Lucia where he ministered a few weeks ago.

Auguiste was ordained a priest at the Catholic church in St. Joseph by Bishop of the Diocese of Roseau, His Lordship, Gabriel Malzaire on May 26, 2015.

He began his journey to the priesthood at 17.

At the ordination ceremony, Auguiste told the congregation that his elevation to the Order of Presbyterate was a sign that with God all things are possible.

“Who would ever thought a little ‘kawant’ (wayward person) from Sen Joe would be ordained a priest today?” he said to thunderous applause.

The ceremony was attended by the President of Dominica, His Excellency Charles Savarin and his wife, MP for St. Joseph, Kelvar Darroux and other government dignitaries.

    Thank you Blessed Trinity who are constantly with Your Catholic Church You established through the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
    These constant enemies, haters and critics of the Catholic Church think they are more intelligent than the Catholic Church and its members and know better how Catholics should worship You and give You thanks and praise.
    These enemies are constantly at our throats. You know, as they quote from their watered-down bible with few pages, they have already failed. They will try with all their might to criticize, downplay and debase the teachings of the Catholic Church but in the end they will not succeed. Their envy toward the Catholic Church projects their evil attitude as they claim to be Christians and know the Bible. They refuse to accept the fact that You have established Your Catholic Church on earth; no other church. They will die in this denial. When they are faced with their eternal judgment they will see the truth.

    Father Calvin Auguiste, you will always be a Priest forever. Do not be surprised if you will still be called Father. :)
    Our Almighty Father will always regard you as a Priest even though you will no longer be a practicing one. You know, God does not alter his mind when He blesses his priests during the ordination and baptized members, be they babies or adults. When He confers the blessing from on high ,as it is administered by His Bishop or Priest, it is forever.
    We, the faithful Catholics are surprised and disappointed that you have decided to leave the priesthood. We are obviously curious of the cause. I did not speculate the reason but am simply in suspense. :) However, it is your prerogative to keep it a secret if you so wish.
    I hope you will continue to remain a faithful Catholic and be of benefit to our Church. Your skills are needed. Remember the Catholic youths.
    My best wishes to you. God bless you, in the Name of the Blessed Trinity.

    I guess he probably found some truths about the false teaching of the catholic church.. For all the Catholics please read the books of Daniel ,and Revelations in the bible. It’s time people wakeup,read the word for yourselves, and stop waiting for doctrines to dictate to you. The bible said let no one add nor remove from the word of God yet still the Catholic church removed …Thou shall not worship graven images and they added their own law to the ten commandments…The king James version is not promoted in the Catholic church rather than the Vatican translated holy bible and is used there.. in the holy bible verses are removed and added…Come on people stop fighting and seek the truth..Its right there..Read it for your self…Jesus himself speaks in parable on the wheat and the weeds…

    11. But He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: (this means that the Life of celibacy can be a gift from God). (Elizabeth Xavier).

    That could be accepted in the natural; if God had not say also ” it is not good for man to be alone.” What did he do to confirm that, he put Adam to sleep, and took a rib out of him, and created Eve to be companion, and help meet to Adam!

    Secondly the Bible never teach celibacy in the way you are stating it; because the Bible plainly sad “some men are born Eunuchs.” Some are made eunuchs of men.

    I refer you to Matthew, 19:12 “For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heavens’ sake;, he that is able to receive it let him receive it. A eunuch is a man who has no desire for sexual intercourse.

    The roman catholic popes…

      Continue Elizabeth:

      The roman catholic popes deprives these so called priest of a wife, forcing them to live as eunuchs, and when they can’t receive it according to Mathew 19:12 they turn to homosexuality among themselves!, even to a point of abusing women and children, boys and girls in their so called religion.

      The thread is so long, in order to ensure you see this I am trying to get it at the top; I am not trying to be monopolistic like mamzel ole lady Facts machine, who want to take over the site eh:

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

      • Mr. Telemaque:

        Your comment on Roman Catholic Celibacy is an accurate scriptural evaluation of the problem.
        I wish our Catholic friends would read their Bibles especially the New Testament scriptures and accept what God says instead of blindly believing what their ”church” tells them which has never worked, and changes from time to time.

        There are many sincere Catholic people. When they are confronted with the word of God again and again and again they begin to think for themselves. Some come to their own conclusions. They get saved (Acts 16:31) (Ephesians 2:8,9) and God leads them out.

        ”Faith cometh by hearing the Word of God, …” (Romans 10:17) Not by hear the word of the priest, nor the word of the evangelist, but by hearing the word of God!!!

        Some DNO readers have rebuked me for using so much of the Bible in my comments and not enough philosophy. But the WORD OF GOD is all I have! On it I stand for eternity :!:

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill,…

      The devil is really rampant in the hearts and minds of some people as you, Telemaque. Why are you attacking the Catholic Church? Why are you on Its back? What has It done to you?. What good are your comments? They serve no useful purpose.
      Who are you trying to impress, the devil? It appears so. It is by no means faithful Catholics who are true to their Church and will not be swayed by your warped mind.
      Do you not realize that it is time you stop? This article has nothing to do with you. Why take it personally? You must be a devil in disguise. Only the devil and his followers as you who would get offended by those who defend their faith and speak up for it.

        @ Liza Zavier

        I notice why people as you renounced your Catholic Faith. You lack enlightenment. You misinterpret the Gospel of what Our Lord stated. Yours is false teaching.
        What you stated about celibacy is totally wrong. Your bible is a watered-down version and different interpretation of the truth. You, with your type of mind may have misinterpreted it or your leader did.
        Our Lord said:

        Matthew 19:11-12 – Not all can accept (his word), but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, “because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven.” Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.

        It means, what He was about to say, “not everyone can accept it, and to whom it is granted”. At the end He said: “Who can accept this ought to accept it.”
        You people really dissect Holy Scriptures to suit you.
        God is patient! He will deal with you.

    • Telemaque there you go again responding to my comment without understanding what I wrote, or is it that you are trying recopy my message to be your own; because you are saying the same thing I said, Jesus said–you fool.

      The line that you quoted above and went along with your blah, blah, blah, is Jesus telling His disciples that all men cannot accept living without marriage–because they suggested that based on the tough laws that Jesus about marriage.

      So Jesus\’ response to them is at Matthew 19: 11-12, He saying that all men cannot accept living without marriage or a CELEBATE Life–that is the Eunuch that Jesus is speaking about; you have done nothing but repeat what I said, because you cannot understand the scripture itself

      What is your stupid point here–with your a Eunuch is a man who has no desire for sexual intercourse, is that not what said in my comment: \”that the Life of celibacy is a personal choice\” –you annoying idiot.

      • And one more thing! Your claim that the Bible never teaches about celibacy the way I am stating it is your opinion so keep it.

        But let it be known that Matthew 19:11-12 are Jesus\’ Word, not mine. His message is about Celibacy–even if it is clear enough to understand, my King James Bible heads those 2 verses: \”Jesus Teaches On Celibacy\”

        Now go to Romans Chapter 6, the apostle Paul\’s teachings is about dying to the flesh and living in the Spirit. A person who is constantly in the Spirit will not be moved by the temptations of the flesh which includes sexual desire.

        Go to 1st Corinthians chapter 7, there Paul is speaking the Church in Corinth, about the rules and regulations of marriage at verse 7 he says \” For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that\”.

        Paul is telling the Church that he has the gift of Celibacy–that is why I said that it can be a gift from God.

      • Your claim of Genesis at 2: 24.–just like every one else–Paul mentions it at Ephesians 5 : 31-32 , and he said:”This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church\”

        Paul says it is a mystery, for at Genesis 2, it was Adam who spoke those words–not God. The mystery means that we still do not know how God planned for Adam and Eve to produce their offspring –they defiled their bodies with Satan–God is after our Soul not our physical self

        At Matthew 19:12 Jesus said: \”there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake\”

        Therefore Revelation 14: 4 \”These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins\”–that is pertaining to the 144, 000 men who were chosen to rule with Jesus in heaven; they were gifted for that purpose.

      • At John 2: 16 \”For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of existence —is not of the Father but is of the world\”.

        Can you see where the apostle John says: \”the lust of the flesh\” is not of the Father?\”

        And can you tell me what could be the LUST OF THE FLESH without sexual conducts? Can you explain why Jesus was conceived through a virgin? And if He looked like the men He walked they Earth with, don\’t you think that we all could be the same without sinful passion known as sex?

        Then stop with your fight to speak the Bible against my knowledge of it–you are not qualified.

    Where God is concerned and the Catholic Church, these adverse views of hatred by the enemies do not count. They have no clout. God is not impressed. They are not pleasing to Him. This is your freedom of speech which will judge and condemn you.
    He has to request dispensation of his vows from the Bishop and give a good reason why he decided to leave the priesthood. Of course the Holy Father was notified and probably gave his consent.
    When thou comest into the service of the Lord, prepare thyself for persecution and temptation. Those who do not know that are devoid of true Christian teaching.
    His leaving the priesthood is primarily between God and himself.
    It is his business. God weighs everything; even sins versus good and vice versa. As long as he does not live an ungodly life, he can still work for the Kingdom of God and save his soul. It is his preference. He was ordained a Priest and he is a priest forever to eternity. No one can erase it.

    • No amount of working for God will ”save his soul.”

      His salvation was paid for 2,000 years ago when the Lord Jesus suffered, bled, and died on the cross at Calvary :!: Jesus cried with a loud voice ”IT IS FINISHED :!: ” (John 19:30)

      Please read Isaiah 53:5,6, and Romans 5:6-8.

      This is why the Apostle Paul was able to write:

      ”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: Not of works lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8,9)

      And the Apostle John could write:

      ”And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye HAVE eternal life, …” 1 John 5:11-13.

      Christians believe in doing good works. But we do good works because we ARE saved not to be saved.

        Your views are contrary to that of the Catholic Church. They do not count. This is why you are a protestant.
        Our Lord paid the price and expects that every one will be obedient.
        Our Lord said “Only those who do the Will of His (Our) Heavenly Father will enter His Kingdom.”
        The manner in which you state this, it means that prostitutes, criminals/ murderers will be saved with no effort on their part.
        You are really preaching what is false. You are a false prophet, spewing false doctrines. Our Lord spoke of false prophets.
        You really have been falsely indoctrinated.. How can you be saved when you are still in the world? You are a presumptuous person. People must work toward their salvation by worship, prayer also for others and good works. They must make penance and sacrifice for their sins. Do you know what penance and sacrifice is?
        The Catholic Church is ahead of you and your thinking. It alone has the answers. It alone will lead souls to Heaven.

    You are into a corrupted, false Roman Catholic doctrine. So I decided after all your ghost stories, I will say this to you.

    You keep lamenting about priesthood! Quote me one single scripture which teaches about a priest-hood?

    What I can assure you is the bible teaches that the Levities were ordained by God to be Priest, that was all they were created, and born on earth to do. As a result they had no inheritance in land in Israel as all the other tribes. They were to do the work of God and live by it.

    If you are going to talk crap about priest-hood confirm that your boy pope, and any of your so called, are born from the tribe of Levite’s Read Exodus, 19: 6, from there keep reading all of Leviticus, it might help you to…

    Maybe he got upset when he found out that the catholic church has its own off-shore bank in Dominica, the aptly name Cathedral Bank, as per Angelo Allen’s revelation last night (approved by the FSU), and he just could not take that, seeing that our own cathedral still has no roof and work on it has stopped, despite a donation of half a million dollars of tax payers’ money.

    Anyway, reading all the comments confirms in my mind that the more religious people get, the less tolerant they become of one another. If that is the case I will gladly stay away from organized religions, especially those that demand that I pay 10% of my income to them, while they live in luxury and are tax exempt. Honestly it are their shepherds who need to examine their should more than their poor and obedient flocks.

      Our ancestors, on one side as mine, were Africans. In those days they did not know about God. They did learn about him later. They no doubt regret that they did not know more of him while they were alive. They died and were judged by him. So will you when you die. Careful what bad advice you give to prevent people from worshiping the true God.
      We were born in the western world; not in Africa. This is the difference between them and us. We have every reason to be members of a Church, to worship our God that one day we may be with him happily forever in Heaven. Try it, you will like it. It is to your earthly and eternal benefit. Do not miss the boat of salvation.

      Haxey, what nonsense is that you talking about. Are you some role model to lecture us? I suspect yo may have to clean your house first before you caste aspirations on other people. Do not start throwing stones at other peoples houses when you may well be living in a glass house. You know what we mean. Careful what you asks for. There is much enslavement going on now where abandoned fathers are concerned., fathers who are rapists, prey on our young girls and sing out loud Nonesense on DNO.
      Religious belief is what it is, you need to find a church and start praying hard and help your community.

    Anyways that’s still not the way to treat the gentleman neither Roman Catholic church. The church has mad a positive contribution to his life and he has made a positive contribution to the church and parishioners.

    The good about this is he is not giving reasons and I respect that level of trust between himself and his family and the church.

    This is a trusted man. Because a person leave a company he has been working for does not mean is something bad that person has done. The person could simply decide to change jobs or move on in life but the world is so unfair including the employer will find all kinds of things to say after the employee has left forgetting all the good things the person did for the company.

    Let’s love him and love the church and other people who have helped him to be who he is today. You never eh in life..that this man could comeback and make valuable contribution to the church in another way.

    Good bless you Sir and may peace go before you. God…

    I think it was his calling to be a priest if it was’nt he would be out before he took the vows. The soul is willing but his body is week that’s why he left. The almighty works on his children when we put our trust in him. I was ready to begin a nursing program I had a dream drawing blood form someone during the process someone said to me that’s not for you I forgot about it, I got a job getting a salary just as a nurse’s salary. Idon’t know what happened but I wish him the best of luck.

  22. I truly believe that entering the priesthood, as a man under 40 years old –based on the principles of the Roman Catholic Church–is a decision that can be not well planned or prepared for, by the young man who decides to join the priesthood

    A man under the age of 40, even older than that, may not be prepared to live a celibate Life, which is the demand of the Roman Catholic Church; regardless of he has lived so at the time of entering the priesthood–we cannot control the call of our bodies; we don\’t even know when those calls will be made

    That rule of the Roman Catholic Church should be done away with by now.

    Of the Tribes of Israel, God kept the Tribe of Levi. to be His priests and to do the works of the Temple. The other 11 Tribes were to provide for them, because they did not get a portion of the Land of Canaan

    But those priests had their wives and they had children. So where did that doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church come from?

        You must do a research. You have much to learn. I know priests who joined the priesthood at a young age and are still good priests.
        Through the years, many under the age of 40 and as young as this Priest joined the priesthood and remained good, holy priests. Obviously, some have since passed on and others are retired..
        As an example, consider the current Pope, the previous one Pope Emeritus Benedict, the late Saint Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Kelvin Felix and many others.
        Furthermore I personally know that the Church does not accept men to the priesthood after 40 years. The Church wants people who are healthy and strong enough. Of course, there is always an exception.
        I reiterate those who are not practicing members of the Catholic Church can only talk based on their mentality. This is as far as their talk/words go. No where else. They have no substance and not with the Catholic Church.

      Let it be known that I am no enemy of the Roman Catholic Church as you are claiming–furthermore your idea that there is such faith called Catholic faith blah, blah, blah, is unfounded. The apostle Paul wrote at Ephesians 4: 4-6

      \”There is one Body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one Hope of your calling. One Lord, one Faith, One baptism; One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you.\” So what faith is it that your denomination–the Roman Catholic Church– belong, if you people have separated it from the Faith of the Bible–that is the Faith of which I belong, presently.

      So then you need to be concerned about your Salvation; you may not be a bad person, but you are grounded in the rules and regulations of Religion–that is the base of the Roman Catholic Church; God Himself says: \”They are teaching as doctrines the commandments of men\” Matthew 15: 8-9

      • And one more thing!

        You must know where you stand with God, before you leave your body, if you are waiting to do that on the other side of the grave, you are in for a tragic surprise.

        Jesus spoke it loud and clear, at John 3, to the man Nicodemus; that warning is for us today. It says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’\”

        As God Himself, has said it, you are speaking and practicing the commandments of men, you do not have the wisdom and understanding, which God gives to a person, when He connects to him or her by the Power of Holy Spirit–so that you might acquire knowledge of Him in Spirit and in Truth. \”And this is Eternal Life, that they know You, the One True God, whom You have sent\” John 17: 3

      You are not a spokesperson of the Catholic Church to dictate to it. Our Doctrine is none of your business. People with earthly minds will want the priests to get married. Not so those with godly, heavenly and faithful minds, true Christians.
      If Our Lord Jesus Christ wanted his priests to get married, He would inform His Church a long time ago, through the Holy Father, the Pope, His Vicar and Representative on earth.
      Our Lord knows the dangers and, anxiety (St. Paul) that they would undergo if they were married with children. Married people know this too well.

      Oh my! Shocking! You who were a Catholic and now turned its enemy, and are in another church say that Our Lord Jesus Christ had brothers? Are you ever falsely indoctrinated. Furthermore you are not well-versed in Holy Scripture, its meaning/ interpretation.
      As I inform all others, one day you will find out that Our Lord Jesus Christ did not have brothers and more about the Catholic Church. Our Lord Himself will reveal it to you when you die. Some of you will regret it that you did not remain in the Catholic Church. Keep this in your mind, on your record.
      As Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “No one can say ‘Lord. unless it is given to him by the Holy Spirit. This tells me much about people as you, why you never say ‘Lord. – Our Lord.’
      The Catholic Church, inspired by the Holy Spirit, taught its members very well. You fell through the cracks, by the wayside and listened to false indoctrinators. Later for you.

      • The fact remains. Peter was a married man and so were many of the other apostles. Read Matthew 8:14 and Mark 1:30.

        Also as J. John-Charles has pointed out St. Paul argued that he and other members of his team had the same right to take their wives with them on their journeys as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord Jesus. Read Mark 9:5.

        Yes, Christ did have both brothers and sisters. Read Matthew 13:55,56. Also in Galatians 1:19 James is called “the Lord’s brother.”

        You do not have to wait for a coming day for God to reveal the truth to you. You only need to
        read the Word of God. Do it NOW if you dare!

        The Catholic Church does not encourage you to read your Bible and take it at face value. They want to keep you in darkness. This is the only way they can keep their members. But the Bible says “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20)

I believe that he has reminisced and has come to a very good decision. Hopefully his eyes will be opened to know that his fore-parents were always spiritual and does not have to worship or serve any figure to be spiritual.
      Many will detest this statement but there is one brother who said that “man created god.” The word is of german origin and to every religion there is a god and there is the literature to go along with that teaching.
      I believe in spirituality and it is found all around us but we can’t even tell because we are too distracted by religion and our heads are up in the sky. We need to get along with those whom we can see instead of crying and searching for what we can’t see.

      I like your comment–especially the last part

      I was raised in the Catholic Church as well. From the time I turned 15, I was a very active young person in the Church, with our Youth Group; up to the day I left Dominica. My mom died a devoted Roman Catholic–but we cannot blame people like her.

      Fortunately for me, when God moved me from Dominica to Toronto Canada, He also took me out of the Roman Catholic Church –He had great plans for me, no doubt; I know it today

      Some times I say I wish I did not leave Dominica, but each time I say that; God reminds me, the it was His plan for me–I would not be the person I am today, If I had stayed in Dominica.

        God would never take you out of the Catholic Church since He established the Catholic Church.
        The devil, the deceiver and father of lies and his followers took you out of the Catholic Church and influenced you to join that church which is why you have all these warped views. They are called short-cuts that Our Lord spoke of as a thief which jumps over the gate to get to the house. This is what you people are doing, taking a short-cut to Heaven. It will not work with Our Lord Jesus Christ as He taught us.

        Church alone is not enough. Without religion there is no church. Without religion and the church it is impossible to practice the Faith and to expect to be ever saved and to enter Heaven.
        Meaning of Religion: beliefs and worship – people’s beliefs and opinions concerning the existence, nature, and worship of a deity or deities, and divine involvement in the universe and human life.
        System – an institutionalized or personal system of beliefs and practices relating to the Divine.
        Personal beliefs or values – a set of strongly-held beliefs, values, and attitudes that somebody lives by
        Monks or nun’s life – Christianity. Llife as a monk, a nun, laity, especially in the Roman Catholic Church.
        So how can you foolishly make such a statement? You did and you projected your ignorance. I hope no one adopts what you state for they will go to the identical place where such people as you belong and for all eternity. As you, this will be to their eternal detriment.

      Through the years this Church has gone through much persecution and it is still standing for God is with His Church.
      Our Lord said: “Thou art Peter and upon this Rock I will build MY CHURCH and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it for I am with You always even unto the consummation of the world.” He did not talk to the thousands of churches which are formed in the world. He spoke only to the Catholic Church. Catholic means universal. This is why Our Lord prayed in the Garden that all might be one.
      I do not hate them. The Lord inspires. I feel obligated to respond to them and hopefully make them wise, if they pay attention..
      I know if they keep it up, their end will not be a happy one. They will pay for this persecution of the Catholic Church even while they are alive and aging, the latter, if they live long enough.

      • Oh, the darkness is so sad!

        Peter was not the “rock” upon which the church was built.

        Paul said “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:11)

        Peter never claimed to be “the rock”. The most Peter ever claimed for himself was that he was “an apostle.” (1 Peter 1:1)

        Peter’s name meant a STONE.

        Jesus said ”…upon this ROCK I will build my church…”

        The ROCK was Peter’s testimony ”…thou art the Christ the Son of The living God.” (Matthew 16:13-18)

        Note: The Bible says ”…that rock was Christ.” (1 Corinthians 10:4)

        On Christ the solid rock I stand,
        All other ground is sinking sand!

      And that my friend is purely a matter of opinion. Some prefer fish, others meat and still other are vegetarian and so it is in matters of religion.

      • “… fish … meat … vegetarian …. … so it is in matters of religion.”

        An illustration like this might apply if we were talking about what college to attend, or what make of car to drive. But this is altogether different. We are talking about eternal realities.

        There is only one Savior. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)

        We cannot save ourselves. Salvation is a gift because Christ paid the price in full by His death on the cross. We must receive it by faith (simple trust) in Him. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8,9)

        There is an old gospel song inviting people to come to Christ that says …

        Why do you tarry oh sinner,
        Why do you longer delay?
        No one can save you but Jesus,
        And there is no other way but His way!

        It is the best time to commence when there is still innocence. There are stories of saints as St. Theresa Lisieux, Little Flower of Carmel who was a nun at a young age. Her story is a wonderful one.
        The Pope, then, thought she was too young to be a nun. She went all the way to Rome from France to see the Pope. She persisted. He gave her permission to be a nun. Today she is called a Doctor of the Catholic Church – one of them. Her book is entitled: “Story Of A Soul.” See if you can get it.
        There are other stories of young men who became priests in those days. I cannot keep up with all those stories. I love listening to their stories on the US Catholic TV/Radio. They are enlightening.

        A Christian is a disciple of Christ Jesus Act 11: 26 confirms that knowledge of mine: It says: And the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch

        The Roman Catholic Church is grounded on RELIGION, which is the teachings or doctrines of man–headed by the Pope in Rome. God lamented about that concept when He said–as quoted by Jesus from Isaiah–

        7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
        8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
        And honor Me with their lips,
        But their heart is far from Me.
        9 And in vain they worship Me,
        Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

        Through Isaiah God was speaking about His people–the Israelites– who had turned the Law of Moses into the ways of RELIGION–Notice that Jesus said they were hypocrites.

      • Therefor those who practice RELGION are not Christians; for Christianity is not a RELEIGION. Christianity demands that we maintain a personal or intimate relationship with God through faith in Christ Jesus; with God it is all about the Spirit

        When are deep into that relationship, then we can spend time in the Church with fellow Christians, through worship to God and fellowship with brothers and sisters in His presence

        The Roman Catholic Church practices a lot of religion–there is no such thing as Ash Wednesday, Lent, Good Friday, December 25 celebration and all those days of this saint and that saint in the Bible; not to mention worshiping the Pope and the sculptor of Mary and other idols.

        God is Spirit He doesn\’t have a mother, for He is the One who created mothers–but Roman Catholics believe that Mary is God\’s mother –for me that is blasphemy! Jesus told us through His message to the Jews \”before Abraham was I am\” John 8: 52-53

      The R.C. Priesthood is not after the Order of Levi, because the Levitical Priests did get married and raised their families. Neither is it after the Order of Melchisedek or Christ, because one would have to be a Priest forever; ever if he resigns the priesthood or is disfellowshipped or excommunicated. So what is the Scriptural basis for forbidding R.C. Priests to get married? Peter! Yes, Petros; Yes Cephas! The fisherman was unmarried and, being recognised by the R.C. church as their patron and first Pope, the priesthood was ordered after him. So any debate on whether Priests should be permitted to marry, should be a debate on whether Peter could or could not exercise his choice to marry.

        Peter was married. He had a mother in law.

      • Jesus counselled His disciples on both marriage and celibacy–based on how tough the rules of marriage were by His teachings, the disciples decided that it was better not to get married. Here what Jesus said to them at Matthew 19: 10-12:

        10 His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

        11 But He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: (this means that the Life of celibacy can be a gift from God)

        12 For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.”

        By saying: \”he who is able to accept it, let haim accept it\” Jesus is saying that the Life of celibacy is a personal choice–it should not be forced on no one.

        You refer to ancient days, before Our Lord Jesus Christ lived on earth, long before the Catholic Church was formed and comparing its practices to those people of the Old Testament.
        The Catholic Church does not have to follow what occurred in that era for the Priesthood of all. It would be foolish to do so. Some of you make this mistake. The Levitical Priests have nothing to do with the Catholic Church, although the Church could use them as an example of the Old Testament but not necessarily so.
        We are people of the New Testament, a Christian people, based on Our Lord’s Life, Teachings, Passion, Death and Resurrection in addition to the writings/ directives of St. Paul and the other disciples.
        The Catholic Church’s directives and practices came from Our Lord Jesus Christ especially the Priesthood. Our Lord was obviously not married. He spoke about those who gave up houses and lands to follow him. You will know this if you are well-versed in the teachings of the New…

      • Face the Facts
        June 16, 2016

        In the New Testament, the writing of St. Paul stated about “unmarried people.” He also said, “I would like you to live as I” – unmarried.
        After Our Lord resurrected, directives came through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This is something some of you do not know or fail to realize and make grave errors about The Dogmas of the Catholic Church and Its religious teachings and practices.
        Our Lord said to his disciples: “I have much to tell you but you could not take it all in. When I go I will send my Advocate who will direct you in all things. . . ”
        I always state, if the Catholic Church was wrong with Its practices, Our Lord and Our Lady who guide their Beloved Catholic Church would certainly mention it in their many documented messages to visionaries down through the ages to today. These messages are for us all in the entire world with no exception since every human being who has ever lived will appear before God for their judgment.

      • Peter was married. Matthew 8:14. This verse of scripture does not stand alone There are other
        passages of scripture that state Peter was married.

        Peter did not claim to be a pope. The most he ever claimed for himself was that he was an “apostle” in 1 Peter 1:1, and an “elder” along with the other elders in 1 Peter 5:1.

        The other apostles did not recognize Peter as being superior to themselves. In fact on one occasion Paul rebuked Peter to his face before all the others “because he was to be blamed”
        according to Galatians 2:11-16.

        Christ left no instructions as to how a pope was to be chosen. Peter himself left no instructions on how to select the next pope, nor did any of the other apostles. Why was this? Because in the church during the first, and second century A.D. there was no such office or position as “pope”. The papacy evolved gradually. In 590 A.D. Gregory 1 refused to accept title UNIVERSAL BISHOP.

        You know nothing. Study the New Testament. There are reasons why the Priests do not get married. First of all, they have a choice. They are not forced into the priesthood and they are not forced to remain in the priesthood.
        While in the Seminary, they have seven years of studies and to decide about it. Some willingly chose the priesthood and to remain in it. It is a Calling from God. Those who do so voluntarily and remain are extremely happy.
        Prior to taking their vows, they also have that opportunity to leave or remain. They joined the priesthood with their free mind and will. Therefore, cease your ungodly satanic ignorant views. Some of you comment and know nothing about what you state. You make yourself look ignorant to the whole world. You have much to learn mortally and spiritually. :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:

      • Continuation …

        In 606 A.D. Bonifice 3 accepted the title UNIVERSAL BISHOP making him the first pope after Gregory 1 had refused this title in 590 A.D.

        The Roman Catholic Church teaches “Once a priest always a priest.” His bishop can forbid him to say mass and do any of the priestly functions. But in the eyes of the church he is still a priest.
        When a man is ordained the bishop lays his hands upon him and says “Thou art a priest forever
        after the order of Melchisedek.”

    Calvin Auguiste is a sincere man.

    When he was ordained over a year ago he believed he was doing the right thing.

    We should not speculate why he left the R.C. priesthood. Many men leave the priesthood. Some for personal reasons. Others because they see truths in the Bible that make it impossible to continue believing some things they must believe to be an honest priest.

    I have read the testimonies of former priests who discovered through their own study of the Holy Scriptures that in the Mass the wafer does NOT become the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. In fact no change takes place. The Mass is not a sacrifice.

    The death of Christ on the cross was the last and final sacrifice for sin.

    It was so perfect no other sacrifice was ever necessary. “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” (Hebrews 10:10)

    • June 14, 2016

      Continued:

      It was so complete it never had to be offered again. “But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.” (Hebrews 10:12)

      Once and for all,
      Oh sinner believe it.
      Once and for all,
      Oh brother receive it.

      Cling to the cross,
      And the burden will fall.
      Christ hath redeemed us,
      Once and for all.

      Christians should pray for Calvin Auguiste. It takes courage to leave the priesthood for any reason. If he
      believes that Christ fully paid the penalty for his sins on the cross and rose again, and receives Christ as
      as his personal Savior, he will be a genuine New Testament priest – a holy priest and a royal priest – unto
      God according to 1 Peter 2:5, 1 Peter 2:9, and Revelation 1:4-6. This is true of every person who trusts what the Lord Jesus did on the cross to put his or her sins away, and asks Christ to be their Savior.

        Just to add to yours. Jesus used physical examples to speak Spiritual Truths, but He expected that faith in people would transform that physical expression into the Spiritual–but people could not apply faith; so they continued to uses their human senses which kept them spiritually blind and death.

        At John Chapter 6 Jesus is speaking about food that stays good and gives Life and the food which turns into waste and leaves the body. The food that gave Life, He says, was His own flesh and blood. Was Jesus speaking about His physical body? Of course not! But that is what those people believed or understood.

        They asked: \”How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?\” John 6: 52 And they stopped following Him.

        Catholics must know their faith in order to practice it, be able to defend it and to pass it on. Some say, “I do not discuss religion”.

In any case, we are the Church.
        God is taking note and will hold them accountable for they have every means of cultivating their faith and to become knowledgeable in it.
        As for those who left the Catholic faith and turned Its enemies, God will take care of them. First, they ignore what Our Lord Jesus Christ taught about, “Love God and love others as they love themselves.” If they loved God to begin with, they would love others and respect their faith and beliefs. This is how we know they are not true Christians.

      “You shall know the truth, and the truth set you free”

      Here is one of the burdens the philosophers of Rome lay on his shoulders: The Bible teaches “confess your sins to one another; however, it never indicated that any person should go into a box and kneel in front of any man and say “bless me father for I have sinned.”

      Secondly, God said go into the world and multiply, that is in riches, having Children and populating the world, how can he multiply if he does not have a wife.

      Peter whom the Roman Catholics claimed to be their first pope which is a lie had a wife, we know that because Jesus went to the house of Peter mother-in-law, so states the Bible, so when a pope turns a man into a Eunuch against his will, that is not something easy to live with!

      Furthermore, the Bible as you people call it, and not Holy Bible, was given to the world by the Catholic Church. When Martin Luther left the Catholic Church he took the Bible with him. So did Calvin and then Henry VIII. They took off some Chapters from it. This is why protestants’ bible is smaller than the Holy Bible of the Catholic Church.
      Then you people want to dictate to the Catholic Church how to worship and praise Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, The Blessed Trinity – God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. You are extremely wrong.

        18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church—-\”

        Face the Facts , can you show where did Jesus say He would build a Roman Catholic Church, through Peter\’s faith–which he described as a…

      • Now look at this one, which is reported at Acts 11:

        \”25 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.
        26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch\”

        I repeat: \”AND THE DISCIPLES WERE FIRST CALLED CHRISTIANS AT ANTIOCH\”

        The point I am making is that, even if the denominational name was the first of all the others, now in function–that name did not come by the call of Jesus–His disciples was simply known as Christians. Through His Holy Spirit, in this world, He establishes His church, even today.

        Until His return to Earth, there is going to be rebirths through the Churches–those who are under the guidance and teachings of Holy Spirit –not the commandments or the wisdom and philosophy of man–of which your Church\’ principles are well grounded.

      They cannot see it because their heart and mind are not so inclined. They are not faithful priests. God who knows them and sees what they do behind closed doors, deprived them of it.
      Some priests have seen it. Some members of the laity in those days have seen it. I have a recent picture of a holy woman from the Philippines, a Catholic who took the host and it turned to blood on her tongue. I should send it to DNO :) to post on this Website.
      There have been many miracles of the Host, some of which I have on leaflets. Our Lord is still proving that the Host is His Flesh. He is reminding us of what He said on the night before He was betrayed, “. . . Do this in memory of Me. . . . ” This is what the Catholic Church does daily. Our Church is a Eucharistic Church, as ordained by Our Lord Jesus Christ. Bet you never heard of that.

      The bible, on a whole, keep people in ignorance because it is a book of mythology, allegory and methaphor. It was copied from the book of stones, whcih can be found on the walls of the pyramids in Egypt. Our spirituality was copied, twisted and then given back to us in the form of the bible and religions. If one takes time and read the stories in the bible, some of them are just confusing and do not make sense. One example is the boat that the figure named noah had. That boat, according to reserch, was a 500 foot boat. Now if one just stops to think, how could a boat hold all these different animals plus eight people? Where did the so-called people sleep, where did the animals defeacate, eat, drink water? And did noah have to go to Australia to get the kankaroo? And what about the wild animals, did he tame them? Come on, people, use your brain to think and stop being fooled by those who have us going around in circles? So all I need to go to heaven is just to believe?

      You see as Our Almighty, Heavenly Father, He has given us His Commandments and He expects that we will obey and follow. The same with the Catholic Church. It does not restrain us.
      Our Almighty Father gave us a free mind and will and He will not touch it. We will either submit to Him or not. If we do not, woe to us. The same with the Catholic Church.
      We must be disciplined. This discipline comes from within us. We either have it or do not have it. I suspect you have none. Would love to state more. May God enlighten you and help you to save your soul. Otherwise, as Satan influences your words, you will end up with him in eternity.

      @What a Shame – Roman Catholicism is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the face of this planet.

      That religious system is diametrically opposed to the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ. It’s a pity those trapped in it either willingly or unwillingly don’t STUDY the unadulterated Bible for themselves and unearth the heretical teachings of that church.

      Salvation and repentance from sin is only found in Jesus Christ God Almighty. Absolutely nobody can pray us into heaven.
      1 Timothy 2:5 says ” For there is one God, and ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”

      Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

      Neither can we do any amount of good works to get into God Almighty’s Heaven.

      Ephesians 2:8 – For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

      Ephesians 2:9 – Not of works, lest any man should boast

      You posted the letter of abdication of the King Edward VIII in 1936. When he addressed the British people he explained that he was leaving because he could not carry out his duties as king without the presence of “the woman I love”. I suppose that this is your message?! Very well put.

        The questions and insinuations are totally inappropriate. Until he decides to share his reason (if he does) it is entirely a personal matter.

        God has a plan and a purpose for Calvin Auguiste’s life. As he prays and studies the New Testament scriptures God by the Holy Spirit make it known to him.

        If he sees the errors of the Roman Catholic Church he will realize that God has something better for him.

        The greatest truth he could possibly discover is that we are saved by GRACE (unmerited favor) and not by any good works we do, not even by religious works!

        “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8,9.)

      He abdicated as the Monarch of Britain who is also the head of The Church of England, aka the Anglican Church. You know, that same church that his predecessor Henry V created after breaking ties with the Roman Catholic Church because he was a mysoginist who wanted to divorce his wife for the purpose of marrying another woman and the Roman Catholic Chur told him “NO”

      • Henry V111 was a fool driven by lust to adultery and murder. The people who followed him had no regard for the Word of God. They only cared that they had a “church”. The new arrangement under Henry V111 met this need just as the previous “church” had done under the pope. They had no Biblical understanding of what the church was or how it was to be governed. It was no problem for them to accept whatever was handed down to them. Their creed was “What shall be shall be.” Not much has changed.

        Henry V111 was no worse than many of the popes. How these men lived was not even taken into consideration. What spiritually intelligent people would have stayed in a “church” headed by Henry V111? Yet these were the same people who had stayed in a “church” headed by their popes for hundreds of years because the popes had taught them to question nothing.

      • It is very easy for the Roman Catholic Church to deceive and hold unto people with this level intelligence. They believe what they are told and know they are not to doubt what the ”church” tells them.

        For centuries the R.C. Church told its people they were not to read the Bible. The priests visited the homes and took the Bibles from the people. Bibles were collected and burned in the village square.

        Human nature being what it is that failed. People continued to read the Bible. In fact they read it even more. Then the church took a different position. It now tells its people ”You can read the Bible. But you are not allowed to interpret it.”

        But that is not working either. You don’t need a religious organization to tell you what a scripture means any more than you need a flashlight to find the sun. The Word of God itself is light. People are reading the Bible and coming to saving faith in Christ.

They were also highly intelligent and had traveled the world before the invaders. In this modern era, we need to research our story and not the europeans’ history. Just as they gave us religion, they also gave us their history. What most of us know to be history stems from Europe. We have to let our people tell our story and not those who invaded almost evey place on the planet.
      We have to rise above their standards to find our roots. WE MUST DO THE RESEARC OURSELVES!!!! We must defy what they told us was truth and find truth for ourselves.
      We need to stop being gullible and love ourselves and not be ashamed to say that we are Africa and Africa is us. Without Africa, there would be no humans on earth. The place that birthed civilisation. It is not the dark continent but the place that gave light to the world.

        Some of the world’s largest Christian churches are on the African continent. They are strong thriving churches with Black pastors who are training young people to be missionaries and take the gospel to other nations.

        The Africa you describe in your comments is not the Africa our missionaries from Europe found when they arrived in African countries. Black Christians from Africa I have met in Canada thank God that the gospel ever reached their shores.

        This gospel is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, and Romans 1:16.
