ACC, Patriarch JFTeruel, Episcopal Lineage

Ave Maria Purissima...

I think it is about time that all sealed servants who knows some bit of Church History and Apologetics come to fore and defend our holy faith. We are not meant to be ready and able punching bag, each blow we accept without a word weakens, not the church, but the faithful. No amount of words can disgrace the Church of the Holy Spirit, but we must admit brothers, we have brethren whose knowledge and faith are but a newly planted seed in their soul- the strong must defend the weak.

I am tasked by St.Almiro of Alexandria, guided by his wisdom, to discuss what makes our church, Apostolic Catholic Church, a TRUE AND VALID CHURCH!

INTRODUCTION:CULT?

When we claim that we are a Church, we deny that we are a cult or sect that fools people around. During the early years of our kaganapan, wayback early 70s, no matter how we defend no body will believe us that we were not a cult. A handful of common people following Mamang Viring, listening to Her while claiming thru faith that it was not her who speaks but the Third Person of the Holy Trinity who asked to be called INGKONG. She was obeyed with people whose educational background is questionable, fanatic and without any formal theological nor catechetical learning. That was wayback early 70s, the time when the seed of faith about the public ministry of the Holy Spirit was in its infancy stage. During the first twenty years (1970-1990) or so we were tirelessly asked of Mahal na INGKONg to recieve the Holy Sacraments from the Roman Catholic Priests, He asked us to attend daily masses, recieve holy communion, among other sacraments. What i remember, a priest coming from the Diocese of Balanga Bataan usually came to say holy mass in Sacrifice Valley. Time came when the Roman Catholic Bishop asked Mamang Viring to stop the ganapan of the Santo Entiero, but since it was not what Beloved INGKONG wills, she naturally refuse and the APO as well. Another was, the Bishop asked Mamang Viring to surrender or donate the land to the Diocese so it can manage the activities, again this is not what Mahal na Ingkong wills. It aggravates to the point that the regular holy mass was suspended, and for allegation of disturbing peace and fooling people, Mamang Viring was jailed along with others, if you watched the movie INGKONG Alpha and Omega, somehow you will have idea on the early years of our kaganapan.

Critics, for the reason that their vision was limited in seeing Mamang Viring and does not believe in Mahal na Ingkong, said that we should not call her[him] INGKONG but INGKANG or IMPO, for again, its the woman they saw and not the Holy Spirit, was it not the reason INGKONG will not be accepted? This vision, to see and listen to Mahal na INGKONG, either through the lips of Mamang Viring or of the Papang, is a gift of supernatural faith - that only sealed-servants or tinatakan possess. I said supernatural, for the reason that it fulfills the words of our Lord Jesus Christ that the true worshipper of God will worship Him in TRUTH and in SPIRIT [John 4:24]. We do not worship nor deify Mamang nor Papang, but behind their flesh we recognize the words of him, our shepherd - Mahal na INGKONG []. We worship HIM who is sitted on the THRONE:

”Salvation to our God [Mahal na INGKONG], who sitteth upon the throne [Sta. Maria Virginia] and to the Lamb [Lord Jesus Christ].” (Apocalypse 7:10)

We are now in our past 30 years of faith to the public ministry of the Holy Spirit, Mahal na INGKONG. Mahal na INGKONG have sealed for the past 30 years more than 5 million people scattered around the globe, from children to senior citizens, from common people to professionals and influential people. Our faith in HIM crossed the geographical barriers of mountains, seas and oceans, thanks to the sealed OFW, the mission was brought in foreign lands.

Our organization grows exponentially due to missionary activities of the members, common people and professionals alike, without formal training and education in healing and preaching, yet able to speak from their real life experience about Mahal na INGKONG. Querubin Albert was one of those whom Mahal na INGKONG restored to life, Apo Malco or popularly known as Sergeant Melgar whose life was filmed by the actor Lito Lapid, many other countless small and unbelieveable miracles. How I wish i am in the Philippines, i could start collecting these stories and put into book for the record, for our posterity.

Eversince, Mahal na INGKONG already paved the way for his covenant partner, Seminarian Florentine, to complete and fulfill what are required to establish His own Church. If the Roman Catholic Church accepted the Kaganapan of Mahal na INGKONG, then there will be no reason for Him to erect His Church, as much as if the Pharasees, Scribes and High Priest of Judaism -the institution of the Mosaic Law of God the Father, perhaps Jesus Christ will not found or build His Church to the apostles. But no, the High Priest of the Church of the Father do not believed and accepted the Lord and His doctrine, and they crucified Him; because of that he glory was removed from them and was given to the [holy] nation who will serve Him.

Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes. 43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder. Matthew 21:43

The Roman Catholic Church does not accepted Mahal na INGKONG and label the organization He founded as CULT and heretical. A pastoral letter was even effected to prevent and deny the sealed servant to receive holy communion. For what sin did we commit against the LORD or against the CHURCH that made us deserve denial of the sacred body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ?

Aleluya to our Mahal na INGKONG, the seminarian Apo Juan Florentino, through His guidance finished his study and was validly ordained priest and was later consecrated as bishop, and again later in the year 1991 was elevated to the rank of Patriarch. The requirement to establish a full pledged Church of Mahal na INGKONG is complete. And in the year 1992, INGKONG granted the prayers of the tinatakan, HE founded His ONE and ONLY Church through his holiness and grace [Bishop] Patriarch John Florentine Teruel. Several men and women entered to the religious community of the Order of the Missionary of the Holy Spirit (OMHS) with all the blessing and recognition of our Beloved Foundress, St. Maria Virginia Leonzon. The only church that Mamang Viring knows until her dormitio on May 2005. No other church that profess faith to Mahal na INGKONG is recognized by Mama Viring but the Apostolic Catholic Church.

The Plan of Mahal na INGKONg why Apo Juan was not ordained priest in the Roman Catholic may not be known to many, but somehow I was given the grace to glimpse of His wisdom. The year 1968 and 1969 were two breakpoints in the Western Roman Catholicism, these were few years after the controversial Vatican II. These years were the climax of the events prophesied in Fatima, in the third secret. The apparition of the Blessed Mother in Fatima 1917 is the great sign i n heaven:

And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Apocalypse 12:1

The apparition of Fatima was the sign that the seventh angel of the Apocalypse has blown his trumpet and that the Mystery of the Plan of God will be accomplished.

And the angel, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven, And he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things which are therein; and the earth, and the things which are in it; and the sea, and the things which are therein: That time shall be no longer. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he hath declared by his servants the prophets. Apocalypse 10:5-7

There were three secrets of Fatima, the two were revealed while the third part was sealed to be opened on 1960 or upon the death of Sister Lucia, one of the visionaries. The Vatican Council was called in the 60s, this was the time that the masonic and communist infiltrators have reached the summit of the church, thus happened Bishops against Bishops, Cardinals against Cardinals...

In the year 1968 a new rite of ordination and consecration was released by the Vatican while the Novus Ordo Mass was released and took effect by the year 1969. Within this period, Mahal na INGKONG asked Brother Florentine for help as you can read its story in this website. Why this time? Prophet Daniel prophesize of the time when the daily oblation will be stopped. God cannot just let His people to starve for the heavenly manna.

The New Rite of Ordination and Consecration of Presbyter and Bishop of the Vatican II is deficient and deviates from the age old and eternally sanctioned of the Fathers of the previous councils and popes. Thus, the new rite of ordination and consecration of the Roman Catholics of the Vatican II does no longer confer true priesthood and true office of bishop. Consequently, the grace and authority required to offer true sacrifice of the mass, the daily oblation or offering was also affected.

The Novus Ordo Mass was also a deviation from the last vestige of orthodoxy of the western Roman Catholicism, it replaced the Tridentine Mass, the mass of the holy fathers. Abominations, disrespect and many other innovations and modernisation with almost total disregard of sacred tradition were witnessed in the churches of the Roman Rite Catholics. These rites caused many to turn their back from them and seek refuge to the Easten Orthodox Catholicism, where sacred tradition and faith of the holy fathers were treasured and kept.

If, seminarian Florentine still pursue his ordination and consecration to the Roman Catholics, what grace,power and authority proper for a true clergy will he ever possess, none anymore and besides he will not be accepted to the Roman Church, there are several bishops who knew the activities of his mother, and they were against to the doctrine of Mahal na INGKONG - even until these days.

To cut the story short, all new priests and bishops who were ordained and consecrated using the new ordination and consecration rite of the vatican II does not recieved thesame grace, power and authority of those clergies ordained and consecrated before the Vatican II using the old sacred rite. This does not affected Brother John Florentine.

Since, our founding bishop, Patriarch John Florentine was not affected of this rites, his consecration was valid and that he recieved properly the grace, power and authority accorded to a bishop.

OUR BELOVED PATRIARCH (POPE) JOHN FLORENTINE TERUEL

Our beloved Patriarch John Florentine, by virtue of the proper ordination and consecration received from mandated and with valid episcopal lineage|apostolic line of succession Archbishops of the various valid Apostolic lines, has all the rights, authority, power and privileges to gather faithfuls around him.He received the authority and mandate through laying of the hands from [the Lord Jesus Christ] , from St.Peter, St Linus, St Clement...Pope Urban VIII (1623-1644) down to our time.


“Have you an Apostolic Succession? Unfold the line of your Bishops.” ~ Tertullian, 3rd Century.

“If Catholic doctrine is true, every priest validly ordained derives his orders in an unbroken line of laying of hands, through the bishop who ordains him, back to the twelve Apostles.” ~ Anthony Kenny, A Path From Rome, 1985.

Our Patriarch was consecrated as details also given in this website:http://acc-ingkong.com/content/view/8/7/

He was consecrated as Patriarch by the National Conference of Old Catholic and Orthodox Archbishops, on July 13, 1991, at St. Paul's German Old Catholic Church in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. by the following Archbishops: namely Archbishop Paul Christian G.W., Christian 1, Shultz, D.D. of the Order of the Corporate Reunion (OCR), Archbishop Emile Rodriguez y Fairfield, D.D., of the Mexican Old Catholic Church (MOCC), Archbishop, Mar Markus, Mark Miller, D.D., of the Byzantine Catholic Church (BCC), Archbishop Bernard Dawe, D.D., of the Independent Catholic Church International (ICCI), Archbishop Jurgen Bless, D.D., of the German Old Catholic Church (GOCC), Archbishop Petros Eric T. Ong Veloso, D.D., of the Orthodox Catholic Church of the Philippines, Archbishop Michael Marshall, D.D., of the Orthodox Catholic Church (OCC). Synod of the National Conference of the Old Catholic and Orthodox Archbishop.


APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION
The Catholic Church has always taught that bishops are descended from a continuous line of bishops since the days of the apostles, which is known as apostolic succession. Since 1896, when Pope Leo XIII issued the bull Apostolicae Curae, the Catholic Church has not recognised Anglican orders as valid, because of changes in the ordination rites that took place in the 16th century as well as divergence in the understanding of the theology of episcopacy and Eucharist.

However, this view has since been complicated because Old Catholic bishops, whose orders are fully recognised as valid by Rome, have acted as co-consecrators in Anglican episcopal consecrations. According to the church historian Timothy Dufort, by 1969, all Church of England bishops had acquired Old Catholic lines of apostolic succession fully recognised by the Holy See.

The Catholic Church does recognize as valid (though illicit) ordinations done by breakaway Catholic groups such as the Old Catholic Church of the Utrecht Union and the Polish National Catholic Church, so long as those receiving the ordination are baptized males and a valid rite of episcopal consecration — expressing the proper functions and sacramental status of a bishop — is used. The Holy See also recognises as valid the ordinations of the Eastern Orthodox, Old Catholic, Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian Nestorian churches. Regarding the Churches of the East, the Second Vatican Council stated:

To remove, then, all shadow of doubt, this holy Council solemnly declares that the Churches of the East, while remembering the necessary unity of the whole Church, have the power to govern themselves according to the disciplines proper to them, since these are better suited to the character of their faithful, and more for the good of their souls.


However, the Holy See does not recognise as valid the orders of any group whose teaching is at variance with core tenets of Christianity even though it may use the proper ritual. The recent practice of Independent Catholic groups to ordain women has added a definite cloudiness to the recognition of the validity of orders, as the act of ordaining women as priests or bishops is incompatible with Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The practice by some Independent clergy of receiving multiple ordinations also demonstrates an understanding of Holy Orders which is at variance with Catholicism and Orthodoxy, both of which hold that a person is either ordained or not.

21. SCIPIONE REBIBA, Titular Bishop of Amicle and Auxiliary Bishop of Chieti. Elected Titular Bishop of Amicle and Auxiliary to Gian Pietro Cardinal Carafa, Archbishop of Chieti, 16 March 1541. To date, after extensive research, no record of his consecration has been found.
NOTES Until 1965, the episcopal genealogies prepared for most bishops showed Pope Alexander VII as the consecrator of Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri, and those genealogies had a lineage reaching back to the early 1400`s. In the mid 1960`s, a contemporary account of Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri`s consecration, published in the Gazette de France, was found. This account revealed that Pope Alexander VII became ill shortly before the ceremony and was replaced as consecrator by Cardinal Ulderico Carpegna. This change in consecrators fundamentally changes the previously published genealogies and results in lineages which end in the year 1541.

Episcopal lineages have long fascinated students of church history. It was not until the middle of the present century, however, that a systematic attempt was made to trace and catalogue the consecrations of bishops on a world-wide basis. A small group of researchers has catalogued the consecrations of tens of thousands of bishops dating back many centuries. The fruits of their labors - labors which are on-going - have resulted in a data base which can trace the episcopal lineage of any living bishop and the vast majority of deceased bishops.
One startling fact emerges from this research: more than 91% of the more than 4,300 bishops alive today trace their orders back to a single bishop named in 1541 - Scipione Rebiba. Why so many bishops should trace their lineages to this one bishop can be explained, in great part, by the intense sacramental activity of Pope Benedict XIII, who consecrated 139 bishops during his pontificate, many of them cardinals, nuncios and bishops of important sees who in turn consecrated many other bishops. And it is the consecrator of Benedict XIII who gives us the direct link to Scipione Rebiba.

It is widely believed that Rebiba was consecrated by Gian Pietro Cardinal Carafa, who became Pope Paul IV, but no documentation of any kind has been found and therefore we must stop at Rebiba.
