For
the Catholic Visitor By Nicholas Apr.
18, 2008 Due
to the pope's visit, the RemnantofGod.org website has seen a
large increase in hits this week. I assume the new influx of
visits are coming mostly from Roman Catholics searching online
for news about their Pope. At least the increase in hate
mail appears to suggest this to be the case. (I forgive
you all) With that said, I would like to take this opportunity
to share with those visiting a few quotes from previous popes
and prelates of the Roman Catholic church. Keep in mind
as you read these quotes, that all modern day popes and
prelates have been asked about these documents. Not one of them
has ever recanted personally or by proxy, or even stated the
quotes were unfortunate or false in any way. If you are a Catholic,
would it not make sense to ask your parish priest about such
quotes? This is your church is it not? Actually, if you do,
you will be told they are false as I was told back when I was
a Catholic 23 years ago. To help you along, I have supplied
the sources for each quote so that you can look them up for
yourself. With the help of Internet search engines you can look
up these quotes by excerpt or by the source itself. It's not
like it was years ago where you had to sit in libraries for
hours on end searching through books. Since it's so easy today
to do so, I implore you to please check into this! To see some
blunt revelations, try this. Don't let your priest know you
already dug up proof that these quotes are authentic. Just ask
him the question and watch this supposed man of God lie to you.
What does this say about the man you trust to share Jesus Christ
to you and your loved ones?

Vatican declares its hatred for Bible believers
- "On August 24, 1527, Roman Catholics in France, by
prearranged plan, under Jesuit influence, murdered 70,000 Protestants within
the space of two months. The Pope rejoiced when he heard the news of the
successful outcome."-Western Watchman, Nov.21, 1912 (Catholic publication)
- "Experience teaches that there is no other remedy for
the evil, but to put heretics (Protestants) to death; for the (Romish)
church proceeded gradually and tried every remedy: at first she merely
excommunicatied them; afterwards she added a fine; then she banished them;
and finally she was constrained to put them to death." -Cardinal
Bellarmine famous champion of Romanism cited by Schumucker p. 76
- "The Catholic Church has persecuted ... when she
thinks it is good to use physical force she will use
it... Will
the Catholic Church give bond that she will not persecute?... The Catholic
Church gives no bonds for her good
behaviour." -Western Watchman, Dec. 24, 1908
- March 12, 2000, Pope John Paul II ADMITTED the Roman
Catholic Church KILLED the believers and does NOT know the Father or Jesus.

Quotes of Popes declaring Mary worthy of
worship:
- On May 7 Pope John Paul II dedicated his general audience to "the Virgin Mary"
and urged all Christians to accept Mary as their mother. He noted the words
spoken by Jesus on the cross to Mary and to John--"Woman, behold thy son!" and
"Behold thy mother!" (John 19:26,27), and he claimed that in this statement
"IT IS POSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND THE AUTHENTIC MEANING OF MARIAN WORSHIP in
the ecclesial community ... which furthermore is based on the will of Christ"
(Vatican Information Service, May 7, 1997).
- John Paul II underlined that "the history of Christian
piety teaches that MARY IS THE PATH THAT LEADS TO CHRIST, and that filial
devotion to her does not at all diminish intimacy with Jesus, but rather, it
increases it and leads it to very high levels of perfection." He concluded by
asking all Christians "to make room (for Mary) in their daily lives,
ACKNOWLEDGING HER PROVIDENTIAL ROLE IN THE PATH OF SALVATION"
(Ibid.).

I pray that all visiting this website
realize that Presents of God ministry has not been called to attack the Roman
Catholic people within their Church. Please understand that prophecy directly
identifies the popes of Roman Catholicism as Antichrist and not the individual Catholics therein. There are many
sincere children of the Creator God in all churches, including the Church of
Rome. If the Lord can "wink" at my ignorance as Acts 17:30 says is
a blessing we all receive. Who am I to assume you won't receive
the same blessing? The prophecies in your bible are merely a collection of predictions, characteristics,
and judgments upon the Roman Catholic Vatican, which prophecy directly identifies as the entity that mixes
paganism with Christianity.
Of course there are many prophecies in the
Scriptures that point out errors, demonic doctrines, traditions of men, etc. in
all religions Christian, and non-Christian alike. The fact of the matter remains
that the elect of the Lord, no matter what church they are standing in at this
time will always accept correction from their loving Heavenly Father and do as
Revelation 18:1-4 declares. They will not turn a deaf ear, a blind eye, or a
cold heart to the Truth provided in His Holy Word when it is made known unto
them. It is for these children; the past, present, and future members of the
remnant of God that we proclaim this Three Angels message of
Revelation.
One last thing. Many Catholics call me a
"Catholic basher." Yet I am never found to use anger, hatred, insults, name
calling or threats on or offline in all 23 years of this ministerial calling. However, in the "Council of Trent" which was
re-confirmed by "Vatican 2" you will find over 100 "anathemas" against all
non-Catholic people. The word "anathema" defined is, "condemn them to the flames." If
your own popes and prelates use such hatred against their fellow
man and even go so far as to put such words in print. I ask
you a simple and honest question. Who is bashing who?
- "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues."
-Revelation 18:4
When a man who is honestly
mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be
honest! -Author

Papal
Spindoctoring of Pedophilia By Nicholas Apr.
16, 2008 I would like to share what Joseph
Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict XIV said the other day
at the end of this article, but first I need to share what was
uncovered back in 2005 regarding this man's contribution to
the child molestation scandal still rocking the Vatican Sodomites
today. I've shared this years before of course in numerous areas
of the site, but his recent visit to D.C., and strange statements
to the media forced me to dust off some of the facts he
appears to have forgotten about his own highly publicized, but
later swept under the rug child molestation legal problems.
Oddly enough, this article, as strange
as the topic may be, actually does have a prophetic base to
it. Christian prophecy is an amazing thing. It has been declared
many thousands of years ago that
the Pagan attired prelates of the Roman Catholic church would
in fact be mostly
homosexual men. Speaking of these Vatican men, Daniel the prophet
said...
- Daniel 11:37, "Neither shall he regard the God
of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard
any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."
What bothers me the most about all this is how the popes
and men like them use their power to escape prosecution for
crimes the common man would be jailed and even executed for. They do this on
a daily basis in Rome. But when an innocent child is brought into the
mix, and they do all they can to hide from such crimes, it is
our duty to expose them for what they are so that others may
choose a better path. Especially when we have literally tens
of thousands of witnesses against them and their actions.
- 1 Timothy 5:19-20, "Against an elder receive not
an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. Them
that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear."
Joseph Ratzinger was elected
head of the "Holy Office" which was
re-instated
by John Paul II back
in 1991. This office was more commonly known
in the past by it's infamous name. That being "the office
of Inquisition." Ratzinger stated while in office
to those priests that were caught in molestation scandals
that his office would take care of things for them.
...a May 18, 2001, letter from Ratzinger written in Latin to bishops around the
world, explaining that "grave" crimes such as the sexual
abuse of minors would be handled by his congregation and
that the proceedings of special church tribunals handling the cases were subject
to "pontifical secret." -Associated Press Tuesday Sept.
20, 2005. |
Ratzinger was directly involved in helping many priests escape
prosecution for such awful crimes. Being the head of an office
with a specific agenda to do such a work means he was "the"
worst villain in this scandal that has been known to terrorize
little boys in nightmarish ways for hundreds of years. It is also obvious
that John
Paul II was involved in this as he was the one that placed Ratzinger
in position to "handle things" with the foreknowledge
that later, when the heat was turned up, Ratzinger would be
able to step into the office of Pope and completely escape prosecution.
In a letter to all priests written by Ratzinger in Latin, and translated to
English, he stated the following...
..."Crimine solicitationies" law (regarding strict secrecy in sex abuse cases) is
still in effect. ...Bishops are instructed to pursue these cases `in the most secretive way...
restrained by a perpetual silence... and everyone... is to observe the strictest
secret which is commonly regarded as a secret of the Holy Office... under the
penalty of excommunication'.
Entire
letter (Latin
version)
|
This document proves that 100% of each and every priest in
the Roman Catholic church today have been sworn to secrecy by
their leaders in Vatican City! This letter was sent to ALL churches as a memo
from Rome. Such a memo is considered holy and very powerful
in content. All priests are very much aware that to deny or
ignore such a document means excommunication from the church.
This is why they clam up as they do when approached on this
topic. Speaking out can cause
them to be unemployed and found outside the church selling scapulars
in a tin cup. What's worse,
Ratzinger has been doing this a lot longer then most first realized.
In a British Documentary it was uncovered the following facts.
Over 20 years, the man formerly known as Cardinal Joseph
Ratzinger enforced a secret 1962 document on how bishops should deal with
allegations of child abuse which included a code of secrecy, enforceable by
excommunication, the BBC Panorama
investigation said.

When a pope dies, the prelates of Rome, in this case "Cardinals,"
gather under the Dean of Cardinals to discuss and
pray about the next pope to be elected. When the man is finally
chosen,
the dean is supposed to stand before the prelate to ask, "Do
you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontiff?” If the
answer is yes, he becomes pope. Strange thing is, when John
Paul II died, Joseph Ratzinger was not only the Dean of Cardinals,
he was also the only high standing Vatican Official in the history of
the Roman church ever to have court documents from a child rape lawsuit
served directly to his hand.
Many lawsuits stemming from the U.S. church sex abuse crisis have named the
pope, the Vatican and other high-ranking church officials, but they failed
because the officials could never be served with the papers. This case got
further than most because Ratzinger was actually served with the documents.

Do you find it odd that the dean of Cardinals is suddenly
elected as the pope? Do you suppose they dispensed with Vatican "tradition"
in this case to bypass the norm and elect the Ratzinger so as to help
him, "a high standing Cardinal,"
avoid prosecution in the largest and most graphic case against
a high ranking official in Rome concerning the rape of thousands
of boys? Such a scandal brought forth from inside Vatican walls
would have been the worst disaster that church had ever witnessed,
second only to the prophecied mortal
wound administered by Napoleon in 1798.
ROME — The
U.S. Justice Department has told a Texas court that
a lawsuit
accusing Pope Benedict XVI of conspiring to cover
up the sexual molestation of three boys by a seminarian
should be dismissed because the pontiff enjoys immunity
as head of state of the Holy See.
Assistant U.S. Attorney General Peter Keisler said in
Monday's filing that allowing the lawsuit to proceed would be "incompatible with
the United States' foreign policy interests."
There was no immediate ruling from Judge Lee Rosenthal of
the U.S. District Court for the southern district of Texas in Houston. However,
U.S. courts have been bound by such "suggestion of immunity" motions submitted
by the government, Keisler's filing says.
A 1994 lawsuit against Pope John Paul
II, also filed in Texas, was dismissed after the U.S.
government filed a similar motion.
Keisler's motion was not unexpected, as the Vatican Embassy
in Washington had asked the U.S. government to issue the immunity suggestion and
do everything it could to get the case dismissed.
The former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was named as a defendant in a civil lawsuit by
three plaintiffs who allege that Juan Carlos Patino-Arango, a Colombian-born
seminarian on assignment at St. Francis de Sales church in Houston, molested
them during counseling sessions in the church in the mid-1990s.

This was just "one"
lawsuit out of many more that was shot down. Once this one was
"dismissed" the flood of other lawsuits had no chance
whatsoever. With all this neatly tucked into his deep dark closet, Joseph
Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict XVI had the boldness of a child predator to state the
following to the news media.
Traveling on his first papal journey to the United States, Pope
Benedict XVI confronted the clergy
sex abuse scandal, saying Tuesday that he was "deeply ashamed" of the
problem and vowing to keep pedophiles out of the priesthood. ...Benedict pledged that pedophiles would not be priests in the
Catholic Church.

We have this man on record in his own Latin documents (translated
in English) declaring
to keep the child rapists a secret in his church. He has proclaimed
a false vow before God and man in this article! We know
he is lying as well when he declares he is "deeply
ashamed." His known works to protect and hide these child
rapists for decades have found him out. The Pope also stated in the article that he would "pledge"
to keep child rapists out of his church. Yet more priests are
still being arrested since he became pope!
We now have rock hard evidence that had he not been elected Pope, he
would be in court, and most likely prison today. He has escaped
the prosecution of man, yes. But the Creator of man is his next
Judge. A Judge no man escapes. Pray for Joseph Ratzinger. He
too can be saved. Yes, some may be shocked at that statement.
With fleshly eyes we see a man who boldly denies Christ Jesus
as Lord, and pretends
to stand as a god on earth. Before our eyes he looks lost
and hopeless. But we are not this man's judge. He must answer
to the True Judge who knows his heart. We cannot see his
heart, and we cannot know if he is a reprobate. Only Christ
knows this.

Creating
a god By Nicholas Apr.
14, 2008 As
I stated in the previous article, Pope
Benedict XVI is scheduled to visit the United States between
April 18, through the 20th this year. What I didn't share is
that the media frenzy associated behind it. A frenzy designed
to glorify the pope above the God we worship. Yes, this is common
practice for the media and powers that be to make such a fuss
for a mere man. We have all witnessed how every time the Pope
makes a visit to any nation they flaunt him before the people
as if he is a god on earth. Only the pope can cause literally
tens of thousands of cameras to seek him out each place he visits.
He seeks fame and worship, he has his reward!
- Matthew 6:2, "...do
not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in
the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory
of men. Verily I
say unto you, They
have their reward."
Only the pope can draw a million
or more to adore him when he steps out in his Gucci shoes, which
by the way prove he cares not for the starving souls. The pope
dwarfs any pomp and circumstance any head of state anywhere
in the world could muster. 174 out of 192 national leaders on
Earth have not only bowed before him in worship recently, they
have been photographed actually performing the very act
of worship upon the pope for all to see. This lends credence
to their claim he is worthy of worship! And they do claim such
a thing by calling
him another god on earth.
The Vatican doctrines have found
their way into absolutely every denomination on earth with the
exception of the smallest and most blessed that was prophecied
to be active these last days exposing him as the man of
sin. Vatican political policy has changed the laws of every
nation, including those that have yet to bow in public worship.
They worship him without even knowing at times. This is how
the pope can slither his way past their personal defenses. He
displays ancient Vatican law before them and opens their legislative
books to show they have already been in compliance for centuries.
This is how they got the churches so easily. Many so called
religious leaders have even gone on record to declare the popes
"god on earth" to further condition the minds of the
sheeple into worshiping this modern day Caesar.
"we readily understand the devotion of Saint Francis of Assisi for 'the
Lord Pope', the daughterly outspokenness of Saint Catherine of Siena
towards the one whom she called 'SWEET CHRIST ON EARTH', "The
Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that
he is not
a mere man, but as it were God.
and the vicar of God." -Ferraris
Ecclesiastical dictionary
Father A. Pereira says: "It is quite certain that Popes
have never approved or rejected this title 'Lord God the Pope,' for the
passage in the gloss referred to appears in the edition of the Canon Law
published in Rome in 1580 by Gregory XIII." More

Some religious leaders have gone
so far as to declare the pope to be upon Christ's cross aiding
in the work of salvation.

The media itself has declared
the pope to be god each time they declare him "Holy Father."
One does not need post the millions of quotes regarding
same simply because every man, woman and child on earth have
seen them use this title at least 100 times in the last week
alone. A title by the way, first used by Jesus Christ when
speaking to His Heavenly Father during a prayer recited in John
17:11. A title, that if placed in association with any other
man then Christ Jesus is biblically defined as blasphemy in
Scriptural doctrine as well as one of "the" identifying
features of Antichrist in prophecy.
Scriptural doctrine says... John 10:33, "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good
work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man,
makest thyself God."
Prophecy says... Revelation 13:1, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy."
|
Even the Pope himself declares
himself a god on earth so as to further condition the masses
into accepting what they have already been listening to
via the TV., radio, newspapers, preachers, priests, and nuns
all their natural lives. Only this generation alive today can
honestly say every soul on earth has heard this man titled in
such a way.
"The Pope and God are the same, so he has all
power in Heaven and earth." Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p.
218, "Cities Petrus Bertanous".
"The supreme teacher in the Church is the Roman Pontiff. Union of minds,
therefore, requires (...) complete submission and obedience of will to the
Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself." -Leo VIII, «On
the Chief Duties of Christians as Citizens», Encyclical letter, 1890
"We hold upon
this earth the
place of God Almighty"
-Pope Leo
XIII Encyclical Letter of June 20, 1894

And now we have George W. Bush
adding to the prophecied Antichrist
agenda. This so called, born again Christian president, lends
his voice to the many who boldly place the pope in the position
prophecied so long ago he would be stationed.
Finally, Arroyo asked him, "...When you look into Benedict XVI's eyes what
do you see?" Bush answered immediately, "God."
|
What we see happening right before
our eyes is the prophecied healing of the wound. The Roman Caesar
was worshiped as a god, and his descendant in Rome will crave
and demand the exact same loyalty today. This is why the media,
religious leaders, government leaders, and the Vatican itself
places the pope in the position as a god before the eyes of
many. The Caesars of Rome demanded worship, and so will the
Pope of today. This is the fruit of Paganism. Prophecy
does declare Rome
will once again rule the world. Only this time the nation
of Rome (beast Daniel 7:23) will be by joining with
the church (woman Jeremiah 6:2) to get it done. The Pope must
stand as Caesar for his power to be realized in the eyes of
those who refuse to read or trust bibles. This Caesar has
already claimed in a mountain of documented evidence to be god,
and will soon demand all agree that he is god and be worshipped
with staunch loyalty on earth! Do you suppose they're up for
the job? Do you suppose the popes will ever claim to be all
that Caesar was?
Pope Pius IX, in his "Discorsi" (I., p. 253), said:
"The Caesar who now addresses you, and to whom alone are obedience and fidelity
due." More
