Deepertruth presents Ray Mooney

Ray Mooney, National Director of Parish Consecration, will be live on deepertruth Friday evening 8:00 Eastern, 7:00 Central. Please tune in at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deeper-truth/2013/07/06/deeper-truth-show

About Ray Mooney

Ray Mooney enjoyed a 30+-year career in sales and marketing management before making his Total Consecration more than five years ago. He joined Priests for Life shortly thereafter, working in the organization’s travel and outreach departments.

After marrying and relocating in 2009, Ray joined the staff of Expectant Mother Care, a metro New York City agency that is credited with having saved more than 40,000 unborn babies from abortion since 1985. Ray opened the organization’s first full-time office in the Borough of Queens, managing it and the Expectant Mother Care location in the Borough of Brooklyn. He also assisted in fundraising and community-outreach efforts.

After meeting Executive Director Anthony Mullen and learning more about his efforts to promote and expand the Total Consecration, Ray joined the staff as National Coordinator of Parish Consecration. In his role, Ray establishes and maintains contact with those who have stepped up to be Parish Leaders, and he works to expand the reach of parish participation in the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary.

About Ray Mooney in his own words:

"I am a cradle Catholic, but it took a reversion in 2002 to bring me back to the Eucharist. I had sat in church at Mass for several years while it seemed like everyone else went to Communion but me...that was the loneliest feeling I ever have experienced. I returned to Communion early in the year, I then made the first of my 5 pilgrimages to Medjugorje that summer and then I made the first of my Total Consecrations on December 8. All in all, it was an incredible year.

I left life as I had know it behind in August of 2006 because of a miracle that occurred in Medjugorje and joined Priests for Life for several years. When I married in 2009 and moved to NYC, I joined a very large crisis pregnancy center and helped to extend its outreach in Queens.

I joined my boss and mentor Tony Mullen on October 13, 2010 as his National Director of Parish Consecration for MyConsecration.org. I spent that first day of work at the Nation Shrine of the World Apostolate of Fatima USA...on my birthday!! I feel so very blessed to be able to "work" many hours each week for Mother Mary. Our apostolate has been growing very rapidly over the last several years. I would say that we have shipped over 200,000 free books throughout the US and Canada since 2010 to individuals, prayer groups and especially Parish Consecrations. We have shipped as many as 2,000 books to a single parish.

In June I was blessed to be able to do several broadcasts on Radio Maria regarding the Total Consecration using Father Michael Gaitley's wonderful book "33 Days to Morning Glory which I will speak about Friday night. If you wish, you can listen to any of the first 3 broadcasts that I did last month to get some sense of my passion for this devotion.

You can also go to our website at www.myconsecration.org. You can listen archived broadcasts at
http://radiomaria.us/truedevotion/2013/06/06/june-06-2013/, http://radiomaria.us/truedevotion/2013/06/13/june-13-2013/ and http://radiomaria.us/truedevotion/2013/06/20/june-20-2013/

I am going to include some background information below to give you some idea of topics that you might want to discuss.

We feel that Father Gaitley's book is excellent for most people, especially young people. In addition to studying the works of St. Louis, Father Gaitley also studies the impact that St. Louis's work had on St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Mother Teresa and Blessed John Paul II so it connects with people like us in the 21st century.

I want you to know about our Leaders Packet which contains a DVD endorsed by Pope Benedict XVI featuring Cardinal Rigali and Tony Mullen. It works very well for group meetings to promote the Parish Consecration prior to the start date. You can see the DVD in segments on our website at http://www.myconsecration.org/index.php?option=com_hdflvplayer&view=player&layout=playerlayout&Itemid=7.

We were very blessed last year when our founder Tony Mullen was interviewed by Father Pacwa on EWTN Live with more than 5000 online orders for over 15,000 items. If you want to see or share the interview with people, it is now on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgsohFzUtYo.

We have set up a page on Facebook called My Consecration and I am asking you to check it out AND please click "Like" if you feel so inclined as more than 3300 others have done.

Blessed Pope John Paul the Great first made the Total Consecration when he was 22 and he nurtured it and Our Lady nurtured him for the rest of his life. It is the basic reason that he chose Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) as his papal motto.

I am the National Director of Parish Consecration and I am very passionate about serving my Blessed Mother Mary in this capacity. So I send this with a prayer that, like me, you will feel called to help Jesus, through Mary, in their desire to Save Souls. Like many of you, I have become increasingly concerned about the rise of Satan in the present world and the probable loss of many souls as a result. We must act to try to bring as many people as possible into His light and form His Remnant by putting on the Full Armor of God!

MyConsecration.org is truly an alliance of Catholic organizations which discovered that they share common goals of saving souls and strengthening the Catholic Church through the St. Louis de Montfort Total Consecration to Jesus Though Mary.

The alliance is composed of the World Apostolate of Fatima USA, Lighthouse Catholic Media, St. Joseph Communication, Stewardship: A Mission of Faith and Children of the Father Foundation founded by Anthony Mullen who also founded MyConsecration.org.

We pray that you will feel called to help us in our efforts to reach out to many lukewarm Catholics and that they will then join us by Entrusting or Consecrating their lives to Jesus through His Mother Mary.

To Jesus Through Mary,

Ray Mooney
National Director of Parish Consecration

The Pillar and foundation of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15)

The purpose of Deeper Truth is to provide a defense for the one fully true church of Christ. It is not designed to attack or hurt others.

We will speak boldly. We will not whitewash the truth.

Yes, we do believe that there is only 1 truth and the only place on earth where it can be found whole, complete, and uncorrupted is the Roman Catholic Church. Yes, we do feel that we can prove that case.

We can prove it historically, supernaturally, logically, practically and Biblically. And we will, make no mistake about that.

We believe that science and observation and reason are sufficient proofs of the existence of God. We also believe that reason and logic alone are sufficient causes for any human being to suspect that that God would have revealed Himself to us in some fashion. Further, we believe that He has and the historical, practical and supernatural proofs are beyond overwhelming that God has revealed, and continues to reveal, His will to us exclusively through the Roman Catholic Church, which He founded when He lived among us in the historical person of Jesus Christ.

We believe that anyone who has totally given Himself to the whole and objective search for truth cannot help but be drawn towards the light of what the Apostle Paul called the Pillar and Foundation of all truth, that is the Catholic Church.
A mere 77 years after the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, when some of the young witnesses would still have been alive, St. Ignatius of Antioch said; “Where Christ is, there is His Catholic Church”.

Truer words were never spoken.

For those of you chomping at the bit to discuss (or dare you dream, refute) Catholic teaching, don’t worry, you will get your chance.

Here is what constitutes debate to me. You do not ignore my questions or evidences and simply move on to more questions and or accusations. You do not make accusations, purported as factual, without sufficient original evidence.

That means that you do not make an accusation about what Catholics believe, do or have done or will do without providing an original, verifiable source that can be instantly accessed by any listener of the program.

If you characterize debate as an endless stream of unsupported accusations, you have come to the wrong place.

Here are some examples of what would constitute proof;

If you charge, as fact, that Catholics believe a particular thing, I will expect you to provide a link to an official Catholic source, citing it as a defined doctrine. Sources could include the Catechism of the Catholic Church or a document from a council. Links to anti- Catholic or non-Catholic sources that quote teachings out of context are insufficient.

I will gladly debate you on anything the Catholic Church actually has defined and teaches but I won’t waste my time arguing about what Dave Hunt or Jack Chick falsely claims that we teach.

If you charge, as purported fact, that a belief the church actually does have violates scripture or Christian teaching in some way, be prepared to not only support your arguments but to contest mine. I will debate via Scripture, history, tradition, practicality and logic. If you insist that the debate can only be on Scripture alone because you allege that Scripture is the only authority, I will insist that you provide scripture explicitly establishing that only the written word of God, as contained in a specific canon of books, can be accepted to the exclusion of all else.

Good luck.

If you charge, for example, that Catholic sexual abuse proves that the Catholic church cannot be the true church of God, I will expect you to provide empirical evidence that the rate of sexual abuse among Catholic priests is higher than ministers of other faiths or of the public at large.

The purpose of this show is to show you the truth. I will do so by basis of empirical evidence. If you truly want to see the truth, I can provide it. If you are simply unwilling to see the truth, I cannot help you.

That being said, we know that there are good people in all faiths and that many people of good will are genuinely confused about what Catholics believe and why they believe it.

I will start by giving you 30 basic precepts of what Catholics believe, as a foundation for us to build on. I will then explain exactly how this show will work.

1. We believe that by nature, science and reason alone, God has put sufficient light in every man to realize that the formation and expansion of life cannot possibly be by chance or random action. We believe that science, observation and simple human reason makes it impossible for anyone to truly doubt the existence of an intelligent designer. We believe that anyone who denies such a basic and undeniable fact, does so by force of pride or rebellion, not by force of intellect.

2. We believe that, hard-wired, by the creator, into every human being is a basic knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil. Man can choose to suppress this knowledge but he that will cause an intrinsic rebellion within him. Among this basic knowledge is the truth that murder, stealing, lying, violence, rape and homosexuality are disordered and objectively evil. Again, we believe anyone denying this knowledge isn’t doing so out of an intellectually arrived at position but out of rebellion or pain or pride. This knowledge is as basic as the knowledge that we need to breath, eat, drink, sleep, avoid pain and fight or flee danger. It is instinctive.

3. We believe that each person has in him an irresistible longing for God that battles against an unruly and unreasonable concupiscence. Concupiscence is man’s innate selfish desire. We Catholics define this concupiscence as original sin. Fully giving oneself over to the longing for God will lead to salvation. The most perfect completion of this being in the Catholic Church. A lifetime spent resisting this urge for God, in exchange for the longings of the flesh will lead to a lifetime of misery and-eventually- to an eternity of unimaginable suffering.

4. We believe this God has revealed Himself to us in very specific ways and through very specific people. These people include Prophets, Saints, Apostles and Old Testament Kings. The ways include Miracles and Signs, Sacred Scripture, public and private revelation, sacred tradition and the teachers He has appointed throughout the ages from Abraham to the current Magisterium of today’s Roman Catholic Church.

5. Because of #4, We believe anyone who claims to speak for God has an obligation to demonstrate credentials. We can do so in ways that no other church or religious entity on earth could even dare to claim.

6. We believe this God has been revealed as a singular God who exists in 3 persons, the second of which also took on humanity. We believe this one triune God and only this one triune God is worthy of worship. Anyone who tells you that Catholics worship anyone but the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is lying to you. It’s just that simple.

7. We believe that this God gave us a moral law that will never pass away and that every single person will face the judgment of God based on the moral law.

8. We believe that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Mosaic law.

9. We believe that Jesus Christ, by His life, suffering, death and Resurrection redeemed the world.

10. We believe the graces secured at Calvary are sufficient for the removal of all sin.

11. We believe that salvation is by Christ alone.

12. We believe that salvation is by grace alone.

13. We believe that man must participate in his own salvation and that no man or woman has ever been saved, or ever will be saved by faith alone. That the Bible clearly refutes the doctrine of Salvation by Faith alone is clear almost to the point of excess. Anybody who tells you that man is saved by faith alone is simply repeating a man-made lie, whether or not they may actually believe it.

14. We believe that Jesus Christ created a church that is the Pillar and Foundation of all truth, just as the Bible states. That we have an infallible Bible (and we do) is only because an infallible church gave it to us. That church-and only that Church- is fully and completely entrusted by God with the Scriptures and the Truths of Religion. Everyone else is guessing, to greater or less success, all falling short of the fullness of the truth of Catholicism. In fact…..

15. We believe that, in truth, there is only one true church. Catholic means Universal and we affirm that every single baptized Christian is a member-knowing or unknowing, willing or unwilling- of the Catholic Church and accountable, to the extent of the light of faith within them, to her teachings.

16. We affirm the infallibility and inspiration of Scripture and that all Scripture is useful for reproof, teaching and training in holiness. Nevertheless, we reject the notion of Sola Scriptura and hold the notion of practical sufficiency and the SELF interpretation of Scripture to be self-refuting, untenable nonsense.

17. We hold the teaching authority of the Church, the Sacred tradition of the fathers, and Holy Scripture to all be necessary parts of the Church.

18. We do not believe that any of the members of the Catholic Church are Impeccable, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Divine, Eternal or, in any way, shape, manner or form equal with God. This includes past, present and future members of the Catholic Church. We believe that all members of the Church had to be saved from the stain of original sin by God’s Sanctifying Grace.

19. We believe that Mary was saved by Sanctifying grace from her Mother’s womb, as was John the Baptist. We believe we can prove this scripturally.

20. We do not believe that Mary is God. Anyone who tells you that Catholics worship Mary is a liar. We do believe that She is the MOTHER of God and to deny this is to deny the Incarnation. We also believe that She fulfills the Biblical roles of the Queen Mother, The Ark of the Covenant, the Mother of Christians, the Woman clothed with the Sun and a co-mediatrix, co-redemtrix and advocate that in no manner contradicts 1 Timothy 2:5.

21. We believe that Jesus gave the Catholic clergy the power to anoint, to bind and loose, to preach and interpret Scripture and to forgive sins.

22. We believe that not one soul is saved by any other name than Jesus, even those saved who never heard His name.

23. We believe that not one soul that is saved is not saved by the merits Jesus gives through His Catholic Church, even those who don’t come to fully understand and accept it.

24. We believe that Jesus meant what He said in the 6th chapter of John’s Gospel and that each consecrated host contains the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ.

25. We believe that only the full canon of Scripture as defined by the Catholic Church, 73 books, constitutes a complete Bible and only one carrying an Imprimatur is free from doctrinal error.

26. We reject the doctrine of the Rapture and believe that Christians will have to endure the great tribulation.

27. We reject a strictly futurist view of books like John’s Revelation.
The prophecies concerning the great harlot in Revelation 17-18, for instance, refer to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

28. We reject the assertion that the Israel of today’s world is the Israel of Scripture and find the assertion absurd and untenable. The Church is the new Israel. The Jewish Israel of Scripture is gone, dead, kaput…no more. There is no more temple and will never be. There are no more prophets nor will ever be, no more sacrifice, no more kings, no more Jerusalem. The city is Babylon and a Spiritual Sodom. Revelation 11:8.

29. We reject the doctrine that only Catholics can be saved. God will save who He will. That someone cannot reach the fullness of truth, through their honest efforts, will not be held against him. Those who knowingly reject the truth will perish in their sin and be damned. God will judge all by their works- PERIOD.

30. We do not believe that lying in defense of one’s beliefs, as anti-catholics do, is a virtue but a violation of the commandments of God.

We trust that these subjects and more will make for lively, spirited and- we hope- civil debate.

Remember the word I spoke to you, 'No slave is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
~ John 15:20

See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution(17) of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper(18) Eucharist, which is[administered] either
See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out[through their office] the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper(18) Eucharist, which is[administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude[of the people] also be;

by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude[of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.(2) even as where Christ is, there does all the heavenly host stand by, waiting upon Him as the Chief Captain of the Lord's might, and the Governor of every intelligent nature. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize, or to offer, or to present sacrifice, or to celebrate a love-feast.(1) But that which seems good to him, is also well-pleasing to God, that everything ye do may be secure and valid.

~Saint Ignatius of Antioch, letter to the Smyrnaeans, chapter VIII (AD 110)
