Ave Maria Purissima...
I am reposting one of my posts from www.acc-ingkong.com and done some minor editing. Ingkong bless.
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 a 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, braving the steep and rocky soils of the mountain of Hermosa, 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 and loved with people whose educational background is not much, fanatic and without any formal theological nor catechetical learning, except that they know they are sinners needing forgiveness and a change of heart. 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. As far as I remember, 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 rather INGKANG or IMPO; For again, its the woman they are seeing and not the Holy Spirit. Is 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 Patriarch, 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 in 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. To date, 2010,we have active missions in USA, Canada, Hongkong and the Middle East.
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 was also restored to life by MNI, and many other countless small and unbelieveable miracles which some you can find in this blogspot.
Eversince, Mahal na INGKONG already paved the way for his covenant partner, Seminarian John 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 [own new] Church. In the same way that 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 the glory i.e. the Holy Spirit Presence, was removed from them and was given to the [holy] nation who will serve Him.
Jesus said 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 never accepted Mahal na INGKONG and even labelled 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 requirements 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 to 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 in 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 rites 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, including the propitiary aspect for the souls in purgatory.
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. And unfortunately for others, apostastized and converted to non Christian, Non Catholic religions.
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 these learned Bishops were all against to the doctrine of Mahal na INGKONG - even until these very 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 our very own Patriarch 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.
Now, we have the courage and the nerve to speak and claim with pride that WE ARE NOT A CULT
