DARK MOVEMENTS: Theory of Intelligent Design on Revival

Senior Vatican astronomer, Brother Guy Consolmagno, disclosed in an address before the British Science Festival the ongoing revival of the controversial theory of Intelligent Design among a narrow group of Creationist fundamentalist Christians in America.

Intelligent Design theorizes that only God can explain gaps in the theory of evolution, making erroneous assumption that the theory of evolution validly explains the creation of mankind. Centuries old, it described the idea that God could be discovered in the laws of space and time and the existence of human reason.

Consolmagno said that the theory had been "hijacked" by religious fundamentalists. "The word has been hijacked by a narrow group of Creationist fundamentalists in America to mean something it did not originally mean at all. It's another form of the God of the gaps. It's bad theology in that it turns God once again into the pagan god of thunder and lightning.

Consolmagno (57) is a trained astronomer and planitary scientists. He worked as a scientist in California for 15 years before joined the Vatican team of scientists monitoring scientifict developments around the world. He is currently the curator of the Pope's meteorite collection, and is a senior astronomer at the Vatican's observatory.

The Vatican was 'very aware' of what was going on in the world of science, he added. The Pontifical Academy of Science, of which Stephen Hawkings is a member, kept the senior cardinals and the Pope up-to-date with the latest scientific developmes, he ended.

Father Joseph Iannuzi Talks of Satan's Hatred of Women

Before a crowd at Miriam College in Quezon City, Philippines, Father Joseph Iannuzi speaks on how Satan came to hate women. He had assisted the legendary former chief exorcist of Rome, Father Gabrielle Amorth, in the ministry. [Click here for the report.] [Verbatim Quotes from the Talk] "I am quite familiar with Satan's hatred toward Mary and therefore, toward women in general on account of Mary." "In the Eucharist, God said, This is my body, which will be given up for the salvation of all. In abortion, it's opposite. The woman says, This is my body, I alone have the right to it, I will not make that sacrifice, therefore someone has to die ." "[Satan] is like a mad man. He can't get to Mary; she's confirmed in grace, she defeated him. So he looks for other women."

Pope Benedict XVI Expelled Demons from Two

VATICAN Vatican's official exorcist Fr. Gabrielle Amorth recounted in his recent book the exorcism that Pope Benedict XVI performed on two men, known only as "Giovanni" and "Marco," during a general audience at St. Peter's Square in 2009. Amorth said that two of his helpers brought the men before the audience to see the pope. When the Pope's car arrived, the two became agitated and fell into the ground. One of the helpers told Giovanni to control himself. "I am not Giovanni," the reply came from a voice not his own. “The pope began to wave to the crowd," Amorth recalled, "and Giovanni and Marco started to howl, drool, shake and fly into a rage. The pope did not get flustered, he raised an arm and blessed the four people. The possessed were then hit by a wild jolt, their whole bodies were hit. They flew three meters backwards… and howled no longer." [ READ MORE ] ...

Exorcist Led Reparation Rite in CCP

PHILIPPINES Father Michelle Joe Zerrudo, one of the less than a dozen exorcists in the Philippines, led on 15 August 2011 a reparation rite outside the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) where the controversial "Kulo" art exhibit was held. Before the rite, he led some 200 lay people in a Tridentine Latin Mass at the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions in Pasay City. One of the artworks in the exhibit was the blasphemous mixed-media works Poleteismo of Mideo Cruz that incorporate sexual materials into the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. The CCP closed down the main gallery on August 9 after indignations erupted from largely Catholic Filipinos.
