Radio New Jerusalem Catholic Journal

    Welcome to the Radio New Jerusalem Catholic Journal! Thank you for joining us in this endeavor to provide an informative, enlightening and entertaining forum for the most honest and provocative Catholic writing on the world wide web -- or any where else.

     It is the goal of each of our contributors to share the deep and profound meaning that Jesus Christ brings to the lives of those that earnestly turn their hearts to him. And so, you will find no debate here as to who Jesus is: He is the Savior of all humankind and the only Son of the One True God. He is the agent of our salvation and the author of eternal life. It is through His shed Precious Blood -- and this alone -- that the sins of humanity are forgiven, and it is through Him -- and Him alone -- that we gain life eternal. There is no other like Him and there is no greater blasphemy than to claim that salvation is available through any other personage or by any other means. In Him is contained all the teaching of Almighty God, perfected and completed for the benefit of all and to the exclusion of none. He is the ultimate expression of God's Love, pure and holy. He is the Master of all Eternal Truth both exquisitely profound and starkly simple. He is the LORD of the Old Testament and the Christ of the New. He is with us always and to express our unbound love to Him is the goal of all human life.

     This is the message and the truth that we hope to convey in the clearest of terms to you, our reader.   This is the message and the hope that the Truth of Jesus Christ conveys to all the earth: There is more than meets the eye to human existence. There is a life of joy and total fulfillment that lies just beyond the horizon of this vale of tears, and that lone figure that stands at this horizon and beckons us to follow Him is no other than the Son of God and Master of the Universe. And the first inkling of this joy that He brings is found in the very fact that He calls us to come home with Him. So we move towards Him and follow Him without question or pause through the baptismal waters of the Jordan and onwards towards the Promised Land of that glorious New Jerusalem in which he has prepared a place for us: A place in which our thirst is slaked by the living water that flows from the throne of God Himself, and where our hunger is satisifed by the fruit of the tree of life: A place in which our earthly wounds are bound and healed forever. Hallelujah!

     It is this simple and straightforward, yet there are those among us that are like wolves hidden amongst the sheep. There are those, even within the bosom of Mother Church herself, who teach a gospel of sin and degradation and teach this false gospel as if it was the very truth itself. Some do this because they know no better. Some do this because they do. The devil himself has come down to the earth, his time grows short and mighty indeed is his wrath! The spirit of antichrist has infected our world and spreads throughout our governments and worldly institutions, and the minions of Satan infest the churches and call sin goodness and goodness sin. And the devil's success is assured when he convinces the world that he is not here, and when he convinces the churchmen to ignore his presence and speak only of smooth things and deceits.

     And so our purpose here is simple and our promise to you is that we will not shrink from it. We will tell you the truth of God's plan of Salvation through His only Son, Jesus Christ, and we will do so with no punches pulled and no quarter given. We will not hesitate to point out the evils that plague our world and the reasons why this is so. And we will not shy from the task at hand until death or until Jesus rides the clouds in glory and the devil and his minions have been eternally subdued. It is this that Christ expects and our own posterity will be served by nothing less.
