Pope Benedict XVI Officially Banned The Use Of "Yahweh"

[EzraLB]

"Vatican City, Sep 3, 2008 / 05:30 am (CNA).- The Hebrew name for God is not to be used or pronounced in liturgical celebrations, songs and prayers, Cardinal Francis Arinze, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, has said in a letter addressed to the bishops’ conferences of the world."

"This translation tradition has importance for understanding Christ, the cardinal explains, since the title 'Lord' in fact 'becomes interchangeable between the God of Israel and the Messiah of the Christian faith.'"

Another article on the papal pronouncement makes clear that the decision took into account jewish authorities:

"The Vatican has reiterated a directive that the name of God revealed in the tetragrammaton YHWH is not to be pronounced in Catholic liturgy or in music. Catholics at worship should neither sing nor pronounce the name of God as "Yahweh," the Vatican has said, citing the authority of Jewish and Christian practice."

Interestingly, some jews own the domain "yahweh.com", and they make it clear that they consider the term "The Lord" to refer to their "dead rabbis". So it appears that the Catholic Church prefers its adherents worship dead rabbis instead of Yahweh.

Cardinal Francis Arinze, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments,

Nothing betrays the pagan nature of the Catholic menace better than the ridiculous titles awarded to their officials.

Well, what are we to expect from the Pagan, Jew infested church
that roasted true Christians on bon-fires like so many picnic marshmallows,
simply for reading Holy scripture? Our Holy fathers name should never
cross the lips of these Pagan Jew lovers! To HELL with the Jesuit Bastards.

The Catholics seem to have a good motive, to connect the "Lord" of the Old Testament to the "Lord" of the New Testament, but in reality they give opportunity to the Jews to claim that Christianity is an innovation, because it is represented by a departure from original texts and real Hebrew tradition.

That is why we must do precisely the opposite: restore the Name of Yahweh to the Old Testament, and (at least) where KURIOS is found referring to God in the New Testament.

That way there is no confusion over the connection, of Jesus Christ to God, and the Jews are afforded no wiggle room to assert a phony validity for their heresy.

That depraved antichrist wretch may as well officially ban the Name of Israel's Father in his depraved antichrist and wretched organisation. He and his depraved antichrist wretched "cardinals" continue to clarify their status and role in world affairs, known of old by the Reformers ...
There may be some Israelites still today in said organisation ... "Come out of her, my people ... "

Praise Yahweh, and hallowed be His Name.

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven" Mt. 23:9. Evidently they didn't get the memo.

Well quoted, Mark; a very appropriate rebuke for the "pope".

Recently an RC neighbour, who now never goes near that antichrist organisation, said to me "Is the pope a catholic ? I'm no longer sure." I responded by asking was the pope a Christian, and the answer to that could be assuredly and with certainty given in the negative; my neighbour agreed ...
