A
NEW ATTACK AGAINST
THE HOLY EUCHARIST!
This Image is against the Catholic Faith
1. HISTORY OF THIS IMAGE
In 1982,
a couple, on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Mr. and Mrs. Haas,
took some pictures. When they returned to the United States,
they found in the negatives a picture of "Jesus Christ"
they never saw and never took. Going back to the Holy Land,
the couple didn't find this picture anywhere. But they loved
it so much that they started to get prints made and to spread
it. Many people began then to say that with this picture. many
beautiful things happened. This picture is now spread from the
United States in several countries.
In the
leaflet accompanying it, we can read the text of a communication
of "Jesus" to Denise Morgan (Sunday Oct. 24, '92 )
saying:
"My
eucharistic presence is here, real and alive with this image.
Reverence and respect it in your homes as you would the Blessed
Sacrament."

THE DOCTRINE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
A)
About the real Presence
Council
of Trent. 13th Session, Oct. 11, l551
"First
of all, the holy Council teaches and openly and plainly professes
that after the consecration of bread and wine, our Lord Jesus
Christ, true God and True man. is truly, really and substantially
contained in the august sacrament of the Holy Eucharist under
the appearance of those sensible things."
It
is clear, here, that the only possible matter of the Holy Eucharist
is bread and wine. To say that the Eucharistic Presence can
actually be in an image, in a piece of paper, is heresy.
B)
About the cult of sacred images
Council
of Trent, 25th Session April 4, 1563:
"The
images of Christ (...) are to be placed and retained especially
in the churches and (
) due honor and veneration are to
be given them, not however that any divinity or virtue is believed
to be in by reason of which they are to be venerated, or that
something is to be asked of them. Or that trust is to be placed
in images, as was done of old by the Gentiles who placed their
hope in idols, but because the honor which is shown them is
referred to the prototypes, which they represent, so that by
means of the images (..) we adore Christ (..) whose likeness
they bear. "
To
adore this image, saying that it is Christ Himself who is in
it, is then idolatry.
Conclusion
To adore
this image of "Jesus, Our Savior" is a double mortal
sin of heresy and idolatry.
Consequently, to know this and to spread this image is a cooperation
in this double mortal sin, and is a mortal sin in itself.
With
Ecclesiastical approbation
