Congradulation Speech
By Greg Oatis
Source: http://www.apologeticacatolica.org/
Some people argue that the Catholic Church was not founded by Jesus Christ, being more of a pagan cult with ties that bind ancient Babylon. This idea reached widely disseminated through a book, "The Two Babylons" published in Britain by Alexander Hislop in 1858 which aimed to establish a relationship between Catholic teachings and practices of the religion practiced in that mystery Babylon. However, the methodology used by the author of the book, a Protestant minister with no serious academic training, has been rejected and denounced as false from the standpoint of sound and historical.
Revelation 23, 1-4 - Then came one of the seven angels which had the seven bowls came and spoke to me: "Come, I'll show trial of the notorious prostitute who sits on many waters, with whoring her the kings of the earth and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her prostitution. " I moved in spirit to the desert. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast covered with blasphemous titles, the beast with seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, shining with gold, precious stones and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and filthiness of her prostitution and her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, "The Great Babylon, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. " And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I was greatly amazed to see her, but the angel said, "Why are you surprised? I will explain the mystery of the woman and the beast she rides, which has seven heads and ten horns. "
This passage is often used to" prove "that the Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon" to San Juan describes in his vision. Such an interpretation is not only wrong but it is impossible to reconcile with the story. Obviously, for anyone seriously studying the scriptures, that St. John is referring to Rome as "Babylon the Great" as Rome and Babylon were the only two powers of this world which God allowed overthrew Jerusalem, leading to exile him away to his village. Both Jewish and Christian writings have been compared to Rome with the ancient Babylon, as both subjugated Israel, destroyed the Holy Temple and Jerusalem devastated.
A well-known promoter of the interpretations of Hislop, Ralph Woodrow, following the same path, even wrote another book called "Babylon, Mystery Religion." Woodrow years later had to repudiate the method he had learned from Hislop when scholars of his own Protestant group he noted the serious deficiencies and lack of scholarship. In 1997, Woodrow published a retraction, "The Babylonian Connection?" in which exposed the essentially false starting points of the original theories of the Scottish religious fundamentalist. To illustrate the kind of faulty logic in play, Woodrow using the very methods Hislop to "prove" a preposterous theory: that a certain chain of fast food has its roots in Babylon. Quote:
- "golden arches" are known worldwide as the identifying symbol of McDonald's. However, we note that the arch was commonly used by the ancient Babylonians in their doors and palaces. In fact, in paintings by the Babylonians, we see that their kings are represented in arch-shaped frames! We also know that Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, ordered his subjects to worship a golden image (Daniel 3, 5-10). And Babylon was known in the world old as "the golden city." Finally, note that the first letter to McDonald's, the M is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet (English), a number recognized as having a mystical power to bring bad luck. Can this be mere coincidence? Even, why the M points in addition to McDonald's? Clearly to Molech, the pagan god of fire worship in Babylon. What is used to heat food in a McDonald's modern? Electricity, which many associate with a controlled fire! Therefore, who can doubt that the restaurant chain McDonald's, known for its golden arches, is actually a mystery cult related with the fire god worshiped by the ancient Babylonian royalty?
As ridiculous as this absurd way of reasoning may seem, just know that the chain of McDonald's was not created by a king of Babylon, but by an American businessman named Ray Kroc in 1950-this is exactly the same technique Hislop reasoning used to slander the Church. In his essay "Anti-Catholicism, the Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong errors Hislop said:" The method [Hislop] incurs two well-known logical fallacies: the fallacy of "origin", which attacks the source of a idea rather than the idea itself and the fallacy of "non sequitur" in which a similar number "Proof" that a practice from another past practice ... "For clarification let's say a logical fallacy is a statement presented as a true statement, but it is only in appearance. The logical fallacies are commonly used to justify arguments or positions that are not justifiable using reason. They tend to mask deception, misrepresentation, or fraud. Knowing how to recognize logical fallacies is helpful not to be deceived. The Latin term "non sequitur" means literally "not followed". If we are analyzing the similarity of an ancient Catholic practice Babylonian practice does not mean that the first comes from the second. Woodrow
also notes that, if used Hislop's own arguments, you could "prove" that the Bible itself is pagan. Shows many elements in the Bible that can be related to pre-existing pagan religions, such as prostrate on the ground, praying, raising hands, a mountain with this in her divinity, law engraved in stone, Elijah cart horses of fire. All this and much more biblical phenomenology, can also be found in paganism.
Therefore, if we Hislop fallacious logic, we would be forced to conclude that the faith taught in Scripture is actually a pagan religion. Since we know that's absurd, we must necessarily conclude that the technique of Hislop is fundamentally flawed.
1 Corinthians 9, 20-22 - To the Jews I have become a Jew to win Jews, with those under the law, and who is under the Act, even without being so, to win those who are under it. With those who are without law, as those without law to win those who are without law, not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ. I became weak with the weak to win the weak. I've done everything to everyone at all costs to save some.
Rather than condemn any practice of the Gentiles as pagan, the Catholic Church has always sought inculturated. Ie, has respected the good that may be in other religions and cultures to relate to the truth in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Acts 10:9-16 - What God has cleansed, you must not call profane.
Jesus came to bring salvation to all mankind. Included those who were seen by Jews as impure, and not just a chosen few. In other words, the love of God is not just for those who already practice the Christian faith. He loves all men, which created in His image and likeness. Acts 17:16-34
- Athens, I perceive that you are, by all accounts, the most respectful of divinity. And watch for after your worship, I found an altar on which was engraved the inscription: "To an unknown god." What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.
St. Paul preached a fiery condemnation of the Greeks for their pagan worship. Rather, he used their beliefs as a tool through which to reveal the full truth is in Christianity. The Catholic Church has always acted that way. Note also that in verse 28 is a reference to St. Paul to two pagan poets, Epimenides ("In Him we live and move and have our being ") and Aratos (" For we are also his lineage "). Does this mean that Paul was preaching a pagan religion? Using the system to test things Hislop, would come to this ridiculous conclusion. However, it is clear from the context that Paul is using proper technique to debate: empathy. Just for your message using terms that make sense for your audience.
Acts 22, 25 - When you were stretched with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was there: "I is permissible to whip a Roman citizen without having been tried?"
In Acts 22, San Pablo 25-28 We see repeatedly stating his Roman citizenship-that is, citizenship in a pagan empire in its disputes with the temple authorities. Obviously he saw no such thing as a desecration.
Sometimes, certain fundamentalists seem more concerned with preserving the pristine nature of an idealized Christianity, while retaining a kind of amber theological than following the example of St. Paul using all the cunning, art and own brain in effort to save souls whom God loves. Paul was less busy in maintaining the purity of their traditional religious practices, such as circumcision or the Jewish dietary laws, which in the search for the transmission of faith, which is dedicated to courage and when he found necessary, used unconventional ways. Therefore there is no reason to fear when our faith is attacked, debated, even in the arena of the world of ideas. The essential truth of the Gospel is their protection

Well, here we will contest the issue of the similarities between Horus and Jesus.
First let's put it that says Zeitgeist Horus:
Overall, the story of Horus is as follows:
Horus was born on December 25 of the virgin Isis-Meri.
His birth was accompanied by a star in the east, which helped
three kings to find and worship the newborn savior.
At age 12, was a child prodigy teacher
At the age of 13, was baptized by someone named Anup and thus began his ministry.
Horus had 12 disciples who traveled with him, performing miracles like healing the sick and walking on water.
Horus was known by several names like The Truth, The Light, God's chosen son, the Good Shepherd, the Sheep of God, and many others.
After being betrayed by Typhon, Horus was crucified, buried for 3 days and resurrected.
Okay. Let us see him gradually.
thank the collaboration of a moderator Forums Catholic.net .
------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------Horus was born on December 25
is impossible to make that claim. Quite simply, it is impossible.
The Egyptian calendar was divided into 3 seasons of 4 months, the month in 30 days and each month was divided into 3 weeks of 10 days, 5 days left loose called "epagómenos" (anniversary of the birth of the gods Osiris, Isis, Seth and Meftis). That is why the time lag over the years. Egyptian Calendar.
can not conclude something as delicate as a roundabout way.
Egiptomanía.org stated on Isis:
"Egyptian goddess whose origins sinks into the darkness despite becoming one of the major goddesses of Egypt in the later periods."
And further states: "Isis, as we passed the History of Egypt, suffered the effects of blending or syncretism taking characteristics and attributes of other goddesses, Isis was fused with the goddess Astarte, Bastet, Nut, Renunet, Sotis and Hathor, the latter of great importance in its syncretism as the goddess Isis takes it, as we said many of its attributes iconographic and mythological characteristics. " And later
Contu with a long list of the different aspects that took Isis.
obviously is a syncretic deity Isis, and from that point should be evaluated.
Very true that in its origins, Isis was considered a virgin goddess, more specifically, an asexual goddess.
However, the figure evolved to such an extent that at some point stopped being a virgin goddess to become the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus.
The main literary device on Isis, Plutarch has given us in his work "On Isis and Osiris" . Interestingly, there is no mention of a virgin Isis, but wife-mother Isis.
full text you can see Aquinas in English : On Isis and Osiris .
A summary here: The Story of Osiris .
We can see that as the mother of Horus, Isis, there is no virgin, so this claim is false.
false Why? Because, as I said before, Isis is a goddess that has evolved, so we can talk about multiple Isis, not one, and if it is true that there was ever a virgin Isis is wrong to say that this is the virgin Isis mother of Horus.
The Isis mother of Horus, is the wife and sister of Osiris. It is very interesting that there is an Egyptian text that speaks of a star ... and a sexual union of Isis and Osiris that destroys the myth of Isis and virginity mother of Horus:
"[Osiris] Your sister Isis comes to you joyful for your love. You have you placed on your phallus and your seed it is issued, it is listed as Sirius, and Horus Sopde (a star) has come before you as Horus who is in Sirius. "[ Pyr. Text line 632 ]
Can anyone continue to hold that Isis-Horus's mother is a virgin?
----------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
His birth was accompanied by a star in the east, which helped locate three kings and worship the newborn savior. At age 12, teacher was a child prodigy, at the age of 13, was baptized by someone named Anup and thus began his ministry.
There is a text that contains the legend of the birth of Horus, in some hieroglyphs that are on a trail, which is currently in Paris. Chabas, in 1857 gave a translation in the Revue Archéologique, p. 65 ff.
The hieroglyph was first published by Ledrain at work in munumentos of the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris (Les Monuments Égyptiens (Médailles et Cabinet des Antiques), In the Bibliothèque de l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes, Paris, 1879-1882 , plate xxii. seq.)
We review all English translation of the hieroglyphics here: BIRTH OF HORUS .
Interestingly, the target text that tells the s birth of Horus makes no mention of any stars or any infant kings who worshiped the divine hawk.
in Egyptology The other page also mentions the birth of Horus, but not the data of the star or the worship of kings Birth & Flight of Horus
remember that the only reference to a star during the s birth of Horus is the quoted text and the Pyramids:
"[Osiris] Your sister Isis comes to you joyful for your love. You you've placed on your phallus and your seed is broadcast on her, she is listed as Sirius, and Horus Sopde (a star) has come before you as Horus who is in Sirius. "[ Pyr. Text line 632 ]
Horus is said, like a star, comes to Isis ... but not a star guided some kings to worship him.
Other events mentioned, this is the baptism, child prodigy, etc. , is unknown in the texts that speak about the myth of Horus.
can review all the myths of Horus from original sources, the hieroglyphic texts here: Myths About Horus.
------ -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Horus had 12 disciples who traveled with him, performing miracles like healing the sick and walking on water.
is completely untrue that Horus had 12 disciples. There are references to four 'disciples', semi-divine beings called Heru-Shemsu ('Followers of Horus'). There are also innumerable references to a group of followers called mesniu / mesnitu ("blacksmiths") who accompanied the god in his battles ... but there is not a single reference to "twelve disciples."
The only deity who is depicted surrounded by 12 beings is Ra, Sun God The twelve beings are the constellations of the zodiac:
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k311/malleus777/otros/wheel1. jpg
But that is an attribute of Ra, not Horus. In addition, the constellations are not "followers of Ra."
------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------
Horus was known by several names like The Truth, The Light, God's chosen son, the Good Shepherd, the Sheep of God, and many others. According
Egiptología.org, we summarize the epithet of Horus as follows:
"The One in the heights", "The high ',' The distant," "Lord of Heaven," "Lord of the circumpolar stars '. In the thrones of the Lisht appears as "Horus, Mesen lord "and" Behdet Horus "or" the behdetita ", referring to two villages in Lower Egypt. Http://www.egiptologia.org/mitologia/panteon/horus.htm and http://www.egiptologia.org/mitologia/eneada/03-horus.htm .
The Great Dictionary of Egyptian Mythology also unaware of such epithets.
here -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
--- After being betrayed by Typhon, Horus was crucified, buried for 3 days and resurrected.
ONE OR NO EVIDENCE IN THE PAGES OF Egyptology BOTH IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH, which support such claims.

Zero No Tsukaima 4 Relese
As I teach my classes in Catalan, unfortunately I have students from Erasmus, the foreign student program that facilitates the exchange of students EU. However, on one occasion, at the end of the first class of course came to see a group of European students. They said that the authority had assured them that I took the class in Castilian and therefore had pointed to my group. Indeed, the teacher in charge of informing them of an error. I fixed it by saying things that seemed more natural and sensible: "Do not worry, from now on will use Castilian, the important thing is to communicate well, not the instrument used to communicate."
After a few days, talking with Dutch and Swedish students naively asked them to something that arouses curiosity, "Erasmus students going to countries known to the Dutch and Swedish to understand the teachers in the classroom? ". Smiling, I replied that obviously did not, had almost no idea of \u200b\u200bthe Dutch Erasmus or Swedish, but more than half the classes were taught in English because the teachers came from many different countries and English had become the common lingua franca. I felt pretty silly, parochial to hear this response. Should assume that the university authorities of these countries were educated and intelligent, concerned with knowledge and not by the vehicle which transmits interested in attracting the best teachers, but had to go look beyond narrow borders of their countries.
Well, in Catalonia are at odds with this position, our political authorities university and still have the mentality of the past. As reported by this newspaper, the Catalan universities approved within the Interuniversity Council of Catalonia, the proposal of the Government of Catalonia under which all new teachers, or older who wish to advance in his academic career, the level should be required C Catalan. This agreement has been unchecked my university, the Autonomous: Congratulations, team president and government!
C Recall that the Catalan level implies a perfect knowledge of the language, spelling and syntax. Behind him, there is only level D, which very few possess, due only to specialists to perform very specific functions of language, translation work or grammatical correctness. Do our universities as much appeal for teachers from Spain or other foreign countries make the effort to achieve the level C? Obviously, this will deter many college to come to Catalonia. It's already happening now, for years, not just in college, but also in other professions: doctors, notaries, judges, prosecutors, senior executives. Never in Catalonia had been shortcomings in these professions, on the contrary they were always highly sought after places. Only now, language barriers isolate and impoverish us.
But beware: the fault is not Catalan, the fault of the language policy of the fanatical excesses committed in the name of Catalan.
Catalan society, the vast majority are bilingual and tolerant. Also, except some intransigent, the move here to live and work strive to understand, speak, at a certain age, it's another thing Catalan quickly, especially if they are people with little cultural base. Ultimately, society is no problem. The problem is in a language policy and misguided, as is the case of the university, in some unspeakable interests. He has said exactly Professor Joaquim Molins, referring to the case at hand: "What people want mediocre Catalan universities restrict competition. Put as many barriers as possible to prevent people from the rest of Spain or Foreign them off their seats. This is what underlies this decision. And if there is a place where mobility is critical is in college. "
Catalan, as the poet said years ago a conservative, is a glass of clear water, that is, must be kept alive, with the support and incentives, but naturally, coexisting in peace with Castilian, as he had always been in Catalonia. The language should be an element of communication, not an element exclusive identity that we face each other. The philosopher Fernando Savater has led to a manifesto, in a few hours we have adhered to over 40,000 citizens, full of common sense, a spirit of tolerance and good sense. Meanwhile, the Government does something foolish, you fight with Madrid for a third hour of Castilian miserable week in schools, requires C-level and university professors, and at the height of surrealism, fail to renew a Extremadura cultural radio emissions issue not in Catalan! The
Catalunya and civic tolerance must react, instead of keeping silent while the mediocre fans and we are sinking into a visible decline.
