  1. The "red heifer" is needed for the Third Temple.
    Some think the tenth "red heifer" has been born in 2014.

    "From Moses to the Second Temple: Only Nine Red Heifers
    (...)
    The Tenth Red Heifer Will be Prepared by the Messiah

    In recounting this historical record in his commentary to the Mishna, the great Maimonides ends with the enigmatic statement: "... and the tenth red heifer will be accomplished by the king, the Messiah; may he be revealed speedily, Amen, May it be God's will."

    With this amazing statement, Maimonides recounts an ancient tradition - that the tenth red heifer is associated with the Messianic era. Does this perhaps mean that the appearance of a red heifer in these waning end times is an indication, a forerunner of the appearance of the Messiah himself, who will officiate at its preparation?"

  2. The oral tradition so-called was being written even in Christ's day. He knew the scribes and Pharisees with their wicked rabbinate were corrupting the beauty of God's own laws and making it impossible for their own people to be saved. The Talmud Bavli or Babylonian Talmud was finally edited by the late 6th century. It is based partly on the earlier Jersusalem Talmud. Indeed, Our Blessed Lord's enemies and conspirators in His murder are the very same type we face today attempting to finally subjugate all mankind and especially the church to their laws. Frankly speaking, once we have read this Talmud we cannot but understand how evil is this book and those who mistakenly believe its vile contents. Moreover, we can certainly follow better why Christ warned us about their hypocrisy and whited-sepulchry - obey these and the way to Hell is a wide-open door.

    1. Isn't it true that the Babylonian Talmud was full of the gnosticism and syncretistic ideas from the Babylonian captivity? If you read the old Catholic Encyclopaedia on "Gnosticism" they say the Babylonians were the original syncretists. Since that is primarily the "ecumenical" program of V2, it all seems to tie together somehow.
      Luciani here doesn't seem so praiseworthy of the Talmud even though, as you state, he said it "can be helpful" whereas I was under the impression that true popes said to burn the thing, publically, and steal it if need be in order to achieve the destruction of the thing. But...Luciani did praise that Italian diabolist poet whose name escapes me at the moment. And he was advocating sodomitic relationships as someone in your comments posted fairly recently as I recall. Very sad.

  3. The original text:
    «8. La Chiesa –ho sentito dire– avrebbe ereditato la mentalità degli Ebrei, che ritenendo la donna inferiore all’uomo, ai tempi di Gesù, la esentavano dalla preghiera del mattino, dei pasti e limitavano la sua partecipazione alla preghiera pubblica. Ci si appoggia al Talmud nel muovere questa obiezione. Ma il Talmud è stato scritto quattrocento anni dopo Cristo: non si nega ch’esso possa aiutare a capire il Vangelo in certi punti, ma è anche vero che esso è pieno di favole, puerilità e bizzarrie. Non dobbiamo accodarci a certi rabini antichi, che ritenevano la Bibbia argento e il Talmud oro, arrivando ad affermare che Dio stesso legge il Talmud e che il suo capitolo preferito è quello “della giovenca rossa”! Noi abbiamo gli Atti, che, mostrando la prima piccola comunità cristiana orante in attesa dello Spirito Santo, la dicono composta degli undici Apostoli, di “alcune donne con Maria, la madre di Gesù” (At. 1, 14). Quanto alla preghiera pubblica, basti ricordare i cantici biblici di Maria sorella di Mosé (Es. 15, 20), di Anna (1 Sam. 2,1-10), di Debora (Gdc. 5, 2-31), di Giuditta (Gde. 16, 1-17) e soprattutto di Maria (Lc 1, 46-55), sfruttatissimi da secoli nella liturgia della Chiesa».
