Gloria.TV News on the 4th of December 2015

The Black Space From Left: A new feature in Gloria.tv is the black area, which moves from the left into the picture, for example, when clicking on "language", on the country statistics, on the gear that allows changing of one’s own media, when creating a complaint or when linking Gloria.tv media to other social networks.

Holy Riches: In 2015 the archdiocese of Cologne, Germany, expects an increase of its Church tax revenues of 3 percent. Last year, the archdiocese collected 589 Million Euros which is 639 Million Dollars. The Vatican has yearly revenues of less than half of this amount.

Bari: On December 2nd Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Rus received Dominican Fathers Ciro Capotosto and Vincenzo Marulli. Capotosto is the prior of the Dominicans in Bari who run the sanctuary of Saint Nicholas in Bari, Italy. Marulli is his administrator. Kirill told them – quote: “Bari is a sacred place for Orthodox Christians like Mt. Athos or holy sites in Palestine.”

Police in southern India have accused four more priests and three lay people in the murder of Father K.J. Thomas, the rector of Bangalore St. Peter's Pontifical Seminary who was killed in April 2013. They will be arrested soon. Two priests and a layperson were already arrested in June 2014. According to the police, Father Thomas was killed because of an ethnic rivalry between the Kannada-speaking minority and Tamil-speaking migrant majority.

@Abramo: You are right, that they betrayed us and our faith, especially by the scandalous decisions by the Second Vatican Council. It contains a waste of God's Word, because of changing the Ten Commandments and ever the Bible, the absoluteness of Jesus Christ and a break with the faith of the Apostles.

Another reason is probably the love of money, as you wrote: "Why is the Church in Germany so corrupt? Because they have too much money ..." - because of the - involuntarily - church tax and the high salaries of the bishops and the priests - also in other countries as Austria and Switzerland.
But the responsibility lies also with the Vatican.

@Josefine: It is true that politics betray us, but we are betrayed because we, starting with our bishops and priests, have first betrayed our faith, our liturgy, our Church.

The question is what we ask in the first place, God and the Judeo-Christian values or an idol and money.
Jesus never said that His people should not live in prosperity, but they should seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
"Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?'
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things. For …More
The question is what we ask in the first place, God and the Judeo-Christian values or an idol and money.
Jesus never said that His people should not live in prosperity, but they should seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

"Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?'
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow. for tomorrow will care for itself. " Matthew 6,31-34
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon." Luke 16,13

What happens today is that the United Nations politicians, or the One World Governments, are taking out God of the creation and as a result the Judeo-Christian values and democracy. Europe is a mammon continent, as America is a mammon country.
As example, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said in the media that the commandments of God - from Mount Sinai - should remain outside of politics.
But she has "married" with atheistic green and red party members with alleged "C" parties, and at least with many Islam adherents.
Not yet a hundred years lie back the last war against ottomans armies on European soil, but because the politicians get rid of God and His Law - now they place the Arab Islam in the first place, because of the oil and the petrodollars. Capitalism works behind the political scenes way with Government power.
There is a holocaust of millions of Christians, but the Western politicians and their servants sacrifice them for a barrel of oil.

@Uncle Joe: What you explain is very spiritual. Therefore, despite Joel Osteen's suggestion, Opera should simply say "I am fat" - and be happy about it.

Should Opra Winfrey really say: "I am slim"?
.

Oprah is a very interesting psychological study. If Oprah says “I am slim” keep in mind that she is speaking relatively. Relatively speaking she may be slim compared to her former self which weighed in excess of 250 lbs (114 Kilos). However, compared to a normal sized woman (like one of your news presenters) Oprah would not be slim at all. Even …More

Relatively speaking she may be slim compared to her former self which weighed in excess of 250 lbs (114 Kilos). However, compared to a normal sized woman (like one of your news presenters) Oprah would not be slim at all. Even when she was a svelte 200lbs, compared to a normal sized woman, Oprah would still be a plus size.
.
Now for the psychological part. It has been determined that when Oprah was at her heaviest she also had the highest television ratings that she ever had. When she lost weight and became thin, her TV ratings plummeted.
.
Why?
.
American women who sat home and watched Oprah were, in many many cases, somewhat on the plump side themselves. Therefore they could easily identify with a fat celebrity on TV. Plus, she had a wonderful personality. She was jovial, well spoken, a gracious host, entertaining and pleasantly fat like themselves. American women loved the whole package. But, when Oprah lost weight, she would then primp for the camera, her clothes were tighter fitting and she struck poses that accented her new “girlish” figure. Unconsciously, American women were now turned off by their beloved formerly fat Oprah. She became a diva and they didn't like it since they were not divas nor unlikely to become divas anytime in the near future.

May 2015. And there you have it. 🧐

@Uncle Joe: Why are there only women in the congregation of Joel Osteen? And: Should Opra Winfrey really say: "I am slim"?

In theory you are right, @Uncle Joe, in practice one has to say that, as long as money cannot buy you free from death, it cannot buy you happiness or peace of mind. But I fully agree with you that it can buy opportunities for great experiences. That is true.
Uncle Joe
In defense of money. Money, in itself, is good. When people start telling you money can’t buy happiness, take a good hard look at their finances. They are likely telling you this because they don’t have much money themselves. They haven’t tasted the freedom money buys. If they are super rich, then you know they are just trying to blend in and not look selfish. (eg. Zukerberg, Gates, Buffet et al.) …More

Money can buy happiness because money buys peace of mind and opportunities for great experiences. 👌

Having said all the above, too much money, power, prestige, fame, or luxury in the hands of clergymen is contemptible. The examples are many both within the Catholic Church and also among our heretical brothers and sisters among the evangelicals who seldom mention the name of Jesus Christ.

Why is the Church in Germany so corrupt? Because they have too much money. You are right Josefine: "The love of money is a root of all sorts of evil."
