Signed, Sealed and Delivered
Do you remember that big new item a few years back? There were a group of Italians, who had renounced their association with the Church and with their Baptism, who requested their names be removed from the Baptismal register. We live in really weird times. The parents and grandparents of these poor souls would be broken hearted.
It all ties in the the them of Blessed John Paul and Pope Benedict XVI: “Europe is losing it’s soul!” Indeed it is, along with America and most other westernized nations. We have renounced our Christian roots for a new secular humanist religion. It’s the religion of whatever pleases me for the moment.
The root of it all is that we have lost our identity! Identity is so important. It is important for a priest to know he is a priest and what that means and for the baptized to know they are baptized and all that entails. The days are gone by when people identified themselves by their religion.
In this weekends second reading, St. Paul makes an important point that fits right into this who discussion. “The gifts and call of God are irrevocable.” Once you belong to God, there is no turning back. You can abandon the Lord, but He won’t abandon you!
The Church teaches us this important truth in the reception of three Sacraments. There are three sacraments in which there is an indelible mark placed upon the soul. Baptism Confirmation and Holy Orders seals a person for all eternity. When a person receives each of these three Sacraments, they receive and indelible mark upon their soul that sets them apart for all eternity. Once a person is Baptized, Confirmed or Ordained, they can never repeat that sacrament again. As the old saying goes, “Ones a priest, always a priest.”
We can burn all of the baptismal records in the world, and even renounce our baptism, yet we are marked for all eternity. Despite our infidelity, God is always faithful and never takes back His promises.

Who is Tsirhcitna?
One day last week, a Facebook friend added me to a group. Immediately, I went to the group to investigate who they were and what they were about. I found the page to be critical of the Catholic Church. One of the links listed on the page pointed to a website called Godlike Productions. The site deals with “UFOs, Conspiracy Theorists, and Lunatic Fringe”. The link on the Facebook Page, directed to a post entitled “Ermm….you know what’s the official site of the Vatican??? Tis is really weird…”. In the post, they go on to write: “But, if you write the name antichrist (yes, you heard that correct), guess to what page you are also transeferred:”
Instead of following the link, I typed the word antichrist backwards and added the .com, so I typed: “tsirhcitna.com”. The domain directs one to the Vatican website. I was very disturbed that someone would try to attack the Church in such a hostile way.
Later that evening, I did some research. I did a Who Is search on Networksolutions. The result is who owns the domain, who the registrar is, where the domain is hosted and contact information. I made copies of the results in pdf and jpg. The registration is set to private, so there is no way of knowing who owns the domain. I next called Godaddy.com to see if they could help me out. The person I spoke with confirmed that the domain was on their servers, but he could not tell me more and suggested that I eMail spam@godaddy.com. I sent an eMail out to them July 25, 2011 at 9:57 PM, but have not heard back and the domain still points to the Vatican.
Maybe if enough of us complain something will be done. I wonder what they would do if someone did something similar to Muslims, Jews or against a minority group? My eMail to Godaddy was sent out almost 6 days about with no response, so I felt that more voices would help.
