Hi! Where do I even begin. My husband has had custody of his two kids (13 and 11) for 6 years. We have been together for 2 years and I love them like they were my own. Their mom moved 6 years ago 360 miles away to be with another man. Now that I am in the picture, the claws are out. She is constantly claiming I am trying to be their mother and badmouthing me to the kids. The 13 year old boy blows it off, but the 11 year old girl worships the ground she walks on. My theory is this...Their dad and I are the ones that run them to all of their activities, games, campouts, and school activities. We come to their band concerts, parent lunches etc. We stay up and help them with 4H projects, study for homework, and other things. I am so frustrated though because I feel that if SHE was the mom they needed - they wouldn't come to me for all those things. I just don't know what to do. I am trying to be positive for the kids sake. But..I dont want to overstep my boundaries. Advice?

I am NOT referring to The seven
Deutero-Canonical books, missing from non-Catholic Bibles.


There is no early writing that will surprise the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church has seen it all.
When the gospel of Thomas was released in the late 50`s many Christians didn`t even know apocryphal writings existed alongside the canonical texts or that the Church was inundated with heretical beliefs; such as, Gnosticism.
The Catholic Church has known for centuries the existence of apocryphal writings. Many are extant today, but many are known by name alone.


The apocryphal writings were basically divided into two areas: those that were primarily orthodox but never accepted as inspired/canonical(epistle of Barnabas) and those that were heretodox (Acts of Thomas).
The gospel of Judas was the latter, heterodox. As was their habit, early heresies attempted to popularize their belief system by developing fictional texts and attribute them to an Apostle (usually one that did not make into the canonical 27 book NT) themselves or early disciple. Some of the more popular gnostic apocryphal texts are: the gospel of Thomas, the gospel of Mathias, acts of Thomas, and the gospel of Philip.

The gospel of Judas was known by the early Catholic Church as heretical and was a favorite text of the gnostic cainite sect. Cainites revered those who resisted the God of the Jews; such as, Cain and Judas Iscariot.

"Since it was the practice of the heretical sects, especially the Gnostics, to write gospels in support of their peculiar doctrines there existed a large number of such apocryph.
Most of them we know only by name, as for instance, the Gospel of Judas Iscariot, was used by the Gnostic sect of the Cainites. "


"Besides these Gospels, we know that there once existed a Gospel of Bartholomew, a Gospel of Thaddeus, mentioned in the decree of Pope Gelasius, and a Gospel of Judas Iscariot in use among the Cainites and spoken of by St. Irenaeus




Gnosticism was a heretical tradition prevalent from the NT times through the 4th century. It`s basic tenant is that all matter is evil and that one must rid oneself of all materiality in order to obtain the truth and salvation.
In other words, redemption and salvation is reserved only for the spirit not the body. Gnosticism is also a thinly disguised form of pantheism which includes unknown gods and various emanations with varying classifications, rankings and names (such as those mentioned in the gospel of Judas - Sophia, Barbelo, Aeons, Nebro, Yaldabaoth, & Saklas etc). We find several citations on behalf of Gnosticism in the small extant gospel of Judas:

For example, the following citation affirms the gnostic hatred for all things material:

"Jesus said . . . But you [Judas Iscariot] will exceed them all. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me. " KMW p7

In other words, Jesus needed to rid himself of his evil material body.

Similarly, we find the fictional gnostic cosmology strewn through out the gospel of Judas:

"His name was Nebro, which means "rebel"; others call him Yaldabaoth. Another angel, Saklas, also came from the cloud . . . The first is [S]eth, who is called Christ. The [second] is Harmathoth . . . The [third] is Galita. The [fourth] is Yobel. The fifth [is] Adonaios. "
KMW p5-6

In short, the gospel of Judas was never embraced by the Church as an inspired canonical text because it was not the writings of an apostle but the fictional writing of the gnostic heresy.
Many today are trying to purport that the gospel of Judas is some long lost gospel unknown to the Catholic Church and missing from the NT canon.
However, as I wrote above the Catholic Church has already weighed in on this issue many times in the past.
The great and venerable Church Father St. Irenaeus, the bishop of Lyon, who provided the nail in the coffin on this heretical work 1800 years ago:

"Others again declare that Cain derived his being from the Power above, and acknowledge that Esau, Korah, the Sodomites, and all such persons, are related to themselves. On this account, they add, they have been assailed by the Creator, yet no one of them has suffered injury. For Sophia was in the habit of carrying off that which belonged to her from them to herself. They declare that Judas the traitor was thoroughly acquainted with these things, and that he alone, knowing the truth as no others did, accomplished the mystery of the betrayal; by him all things, both earthly and heavenly, were thus thrown into confusion. They produce a fictitious history of this kind, which they style the Gospel of Judas."


Good old St. Irenaeus -- pertinent more today than ever!

I took a statistics class in college and didn't understand it, but I read on Yahoo today that the latest polls show that Bush's rating on his job performance is 32% while Congress' is 22%. At the very end of the article it said this poll was conducted by contacting 1005 people by phone.

How in the heck can pollsters gauge the mood of the country by only contacting 1005 people>

Well, I'm going for a relaxing theme- and I've been watching a lot of Design on a Dime (luv that show!!) on HGTV, and I'm thinking about a nice, Moroccan theme. I've seen a lot of turquoise and purple on the wall color, but I'm going for more of deep, rich, tones, like maybe deep reds, golds, chocolatey browns, and rustic oranges, and maybe inlcude a little bit of the purple and turquoise in accent pieces, like a rug and pillows. Since I'm doing my bedroom, and it's quite small, I'm thinking about a funton for a bed, and some chairs for additional seating, and an armoire (sp?) for my TV and additional storage. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS:
I have mirrored closets! So, what's a way for making those closets looks more moroccan, but not too pricy?
Thanks so much! Good answers please!

It's set in a futuristic house. When you walk in a room, the light turns on. There's a Mother and Father and 2 children. The children sit all day in a room, watching the wall that has, what seems like a movie projection of lions on it. The lions are walking around and hanging out. It's just like watching a nature show or something. Everyone says how real they look and then one day they find a bloody wallet in there and then later you realize that the lions are real. WHAT IS THIS MOVIE????

We can see in some museums of history the weapons which men used in warfare even 150 yrs back are so big and heavy that now a normal man can only dare to lift.. Maybe humans are one of the rarest creatures facing problems of obesity, and have to do heavy workouts to build up, whereas animals are naturally born strong..
