~ THE HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF ~ From
Metropolitan Archbishop Paul, S.S.B. To the
flock entrusted into my care: THE FIRST ATTEMPT
Beelzebub, Satan, the Devil, learned a valuable
lesson from Jesus Christ God when Our Saviour
said, “Every kingdom divided against itself shall
be brought to desolation; and house upon house
shall fall.ö (Luke 11:17). Though he could never
bring his own house to order because one of its
foundations is in rebellion against authority,
forming chaos, and anarchy, the Devil was able
to use this truth, that a house divided against
itself will fall. He used this truth against the
Church; DISSENTION IS INTRODUCED; DISSENTION IS
OVERCOME; SATAN’S RESPONSE TO THE COUNCILS -
GNOSTICISM AND DESIRE FOR RECOGNITION; SATAN
REDOUBLES HIS EFFORTS, AND INTRODUCES A NEW
ELEMENT, HIS OWN RELIGION; ISLAM AND THE
WEAKENED CHRISTIAN CIVIL GOVERNMENT; SATAN
DESTROYS THE COUNCIL SYSTEM WHICH HAD BEEN
USED TO RESOLVE DOGMATIC MATTERS; ISOLATION OF
THE BYZANTINE CHURCHES DOES NOT TURN OUT AS
SATAN EXPECTED, FOR THEIR ISOLATION CAUSES
THEM TO REMAIN ORTHODOX AFTER ROME EMBRACED
HETERODOXY; SATAN INTENSIFIES THE CLASH OF
CULTURES; SATAN USES THE CRUSADES TO ATTACK
THE BYZANTINE (ORTHODOX) CHURCHES; THE HEAVY
HAND AND REACTION TO IT; WHILE SATAN STIRS
THE POT OF NATIONALISM IN THE WEST, HE TURNS UP
THE HEAT OF ISLAM; AND ROME MAKES THE HAND
HEAVIER; SATAN USES THE CONFUSION CAUSED BY
THE INTERMINGLING OF CIVILIAN AND CHURCH
AUTHORITY IN THE MATTER OF HERESY; BUT THE
DEVIL HAD NOT YET WON. HE HAD MORE YET TO DO
BEFORE HE COULD DECLARE VICTORY; SATAN MAKES
FURTHER MOVES AGAINST THE ROMAN CHURCH BUT
GOD MAKES PROVISIONS FOR SATAN’S MOVES;
ORTHODOX STUBBORNNESS; THEN CAME VATICAN II;
SOMETHINGS TO CONSIDER;  1

IMITATION OF CHRIST By Thomas a Kempis BOOK THREE
The Seventh Chapter Grace Must Be Hidden Under the Mantle of
Humility The Voice of Christ    It is better and safer for you to
conceal the grace of devotion, not to be elated by it, not to speak
or
think much of it, and instead to humble yourself and fear lest it is
being given to one unworthy of it.   1

THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT AUGUSTINE CHAPTER IV 9.
Theft is punished by thy law, O Lord, and by the law written in
men's hearts, which not even ingrained wickedness can erase.  For
what thief will tolerate another thief stealing from him?  Even a
rich thief will not tolerate a poor thief who is driven to theft by
want.  Yet I had a desire to commit robbery,  1

WHEN GOD MAKES US THE MEANS BY WHICH HE GIVES
A GIFT TO SOMEONE, WHETHER IT BE A CURE,
MATERIAL BLESSING, SPIRITUAL HEALING OR
STRENGTHENING, OR ANYTHING, WE MUST NEITHER
CHARGE A FEE NOR ACCEPT A GIFT FROM OR ON
BEHALF OF THE ONE GOD ASSISTS For the River of Life
flowing from God is free to all who desire to drink of it, and those
whose lands are blessed by its flowing through them must neither
charge nor accept gifts for access to that which God provides. 4
