Pope Francis beatifies south korean martyrs Pope Francis has beatified 124 Christian "martyrs" in the South Korean capital, and challenged Christians on the values they may be willing to die for in an increasingly materialistic and globalised world. The pope performed the beatification on Saturday at a mass in front of hundreds of thousands of Catholics in Gwanghwamun plaza, Seoul's main ceremonial thoroughfare. The Koreans were killed in the 18th and 19th centuries for refusing to renounce Christianity. Francis said their courage, charity and their rejection of the rigid social structures of their day were an inspiration for people today. "Their example has much to say to us who live in societies where, alongside immense wealth, dire poverty is silently growing," he said. The most prominent among those beatified was an 18th century nobleman, Paul Yun Ji-chung, who became Korea's first Catholic martyr when he was executed in 1791 after clashing with Confucian officials. "They knew the cost of discipleship... and were willing to make great sacrifices," Francis said in his sermon after the brief beatification ceremony, which gives the martyrs the title "blessed" and marks their first step towards sainthood. According to the Church, around 10,000 Koreans were martyred in the first 100 years after Catholicism was introduced to the peninsula in 1784. Francis has been vocal in his criticisim of materialism since arriving in South Korea, a theme that has underscored his papacy. Last year, in his first major written work, Francis attacked unfettered capitalism as "a new tyranny", urging global leaders to fight poverty and growing inequality. Rapid economic growth has made South Korea one of the world's wealthiest countries, but it has also become increasingly unequal, with nearly half the elderly in poverty. The Catholic Church has a fast-growing presence in South Korea, doubling in the past 25 years to about 11 percent of the population, adding about 100,000 new members every year. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2014/08/pope-beatifies-south-korea-catholic-martyrs-201481672517893910.html |

Alright so we continue our discussion on the Life and ministry of St John the baptist. Below I reproduce the last question. What is the significance of John living or preaching in the wilderness? Prophet Isaiah foretold the forerunner of the messiah "as a voice crying in the wilderness" Isa 40:3 When John came, he made it clear: he was the voice of someone shouting in the wilderness. John 1:23 The scriptures also made it clear he preached in the desert of Judea. Matt 3:1-3 1)The question now is, why would John preach in the wilderness instead of doing so at the city gate or midst of people. 2)What is the significance of the food he eats in the wilderness . John 3:4 3)How can we as christians emulate John Let's keep the contributions coming.... |

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor? Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge, or showed him the path of understanding? Isa 40:12-14 Really God is greater than we can ever imagine. His ways are greater than our. Good morning brethren and do have a fulfilled day ahead. ![]() |
Kamsified: Dear brethren,Who said the secretary is not working!!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! ![]() |
My princess! Lady Kamsified!! Honourable secretary to the Pope!!! You just made my day walahi. You are too special!!!! ![]() |
Is that so? |
ayooluniran: Yes it does because, the bible it self says we should guard against false doctrines, false teachers and false prophets. So that clearly tells us to confirm everything we hear in church by searching the scriptures.And how did you get to know the bible you have today is inspired? Sometimes I doubt a lot of you even what the Catholic church teach or belief. Have you seen any Catholic praying in any other name apart from that of Jesus? Every intercessor does so IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I don't even know what you are arguing but am sure the bible said the church is the pillar and foundation of truth |
ayooluniran: Pls read the book of acts...u'll find where the Christians from berea were always going back to the scripture to check what they were taught if it was true or not.....so it is biblical to challenge doctrine that doesn't conform to the standard of the bible.And. How does this answer my question of a double guide? |
Thanks a lot @Macelliot. Remain blessed |
