(AgapePress) - An evangelical Christian leader says it is clear that America's Roman Catholic bishops have strayed away from their long-held belief on the uniqueness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Last week, American Catholic bishops -- along with leaders from both reformed and conservative Judaism -- issued a joint statement affirming that Jews should not be targeted for conversion to Christianity. David Brickner, executive director of Jews For Jesus, is deeply concerned about that statement. He says the Catholic leaders have erred.

"If Jesus is not the Jewish Messiah, then Christianity is just an opinion, a preference," Brickner says. "And I don't think that Catholics have thought of their faith as just one opinion -- so the bishops have strayed far."

And Brickner says this joint resolution should be a warning to evangelical Christians as well. He calls it "a cautionary tale," especially for those who have been thinking that a movement of reconciliation is possible.

Brickner believes there are many Catholics who believe in the uniqueness of Christ, and he thinks they should be appalled at how far their bishops have strayed from the once firmly held position of the church.

Thet strayed long ago. In fact, they strayed away from the Truth as a collected body of Pagans-mixed-Christians 1467 years ago when the Roman Catholic Church became a church & state designed to kill and destroy Christians the world over.

Photo Aims to Capture 2 Million Faces at Papal Mass
Authors Say It Will Be the World's Largest Picture

KRAKOW, Poland, AUG. 18, 2002 (Zenit.org).- More than 2 million people will appear in the largest photograph in the world, taken during today's papal Mass.

Five photographers using high-resolution cameras worked to compile the picture, in which they say pilgrims' faces will be recognizable.

Eight photographs were taken by five cameras from various points during the Mass. Together, they produced a panoramic photograph with a 280-degree angle.

In order to take the picture, the professionals were placed at a 7-meter-high (23 feet) vantage point, from which they were able to photograph the massive crowd gathered in Blonie Park.

The gigantic image was the idea of Gdansk photographers Slawomir Pultyn and Jerzy Rados, who announced that they will publish it in a poster 2 meters high and 26 meters wide.

The photograph will also be published in sections in a special album, which will soon be on sale. The photographers announced that all the funds collected from the album's sale will be donated to orphanages and homes for the elderly in Krakow.

"The photo is meant to be a testimony of our time, of the men and women who live in it -- people of all professional and social conditions, gathered in a special and extraordinary moment," Pultyn said.

The two photographers have already carried out similar enterprises, including a "family photo of the inhabitants of Gdansk at the end of the century." ZE02081805

The pope's trip to the Americas has ended in Mexico with the canonization of the fabled Juan Diego of Guadalupe, the 464th saint recognized by the church since John Paul's papacy began. The pontiff has now recognized more saints than all his predecessors combined. His readiness to canonize is in service of an eagerness to evangelize. This is John Paul's desire: To raise up from as many nationalities, ethnic groups and indigenous peoples as possible a saint who is of them, from them and yet an exemplar of the universal church.

Twelve million people lined the streets of Mexico City to greet John Paul the day he arrived--12 million! The church may have suffered in the field this year, but the troops apparently remain. By Peggy Noonan -Wall Street Journal (Ms. Noonan is a contributing editor of The Wall Street Journal.)

Revelation 13:3, "...and all the world wondered after the beast." Farakhan tried it, and many before him tried it. But NO ONE has the ability to draw a crowd of over a MILLION like that of the man of sin!

John 3:19, "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."

August 16, 2002 -- A Virginia couple was arrested yesterday for public lewdness after allegedly having sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral as part of an "Opie and Anthony" radio stunt that outraged parishioners and church officials.

Also arrested was comedian Paul Mercurio, 40, who provided a running on-air commentary of the sex act, which took place just five feet away from worshippers praying on the Feast of the Assumption, a holy day of obligation for Catholics. -NYPOST.com By PHILIP MESSING, MARIANNE GARVEY and HASANI GITTENS

Just one more piece of evidence declaring this church NOT to be of Christ. Would the "Hedge of Angels" surrounding the True Remnant Church allow such an act? What amazez me is, the Catholics in this church had the offenders arressted. But the pedophile priests that perfomed the same sex acts on church property thousands of times should not be arrested?

NEW YORK -- America's Roman Catholic bishops and leaders of Reform and Conservative Judaism have issued a joint statement affirming that Jews should not be targeted for conversion to Christianity.

The bishops have made similar declarations in the past and the international church has largely dropped the practice of evangelizing Jews. This latest document, "Reflections on Covenant and Mission," grew from more than two decades of biannual meetings between the U.S. religious leaders.

"While the Catholic church regards the saving act of Christ as central to the process of human salvation for all, it also acknowledges that Jews already dwell in a saving covenant with God," the document reads. "Jews are also called by God to prepare the world for God's kingdom."

Participants in the ongoing dialogue are the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs and the National Council of Synagogues. That group represents the Reform movement's Central Conference of American Rabbis and Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the Conservative movement's United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Rabbinical Assembly of Conservative Judaism.

So, Jesus and the Apostles wasted their time before and after the ressurection of Christ? I ask, why was the New Testament written? And everyone knows that to be saved you MUST accept Christ as Savior. And as everyone also knows, the Jews openly deny Christ. Yet, the Roman Catholic church says they can gain Heaven without Christ?

Acts 2:21, "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

Russian Orthodox Church says Vatican is refusing to heed demand to stop proselytizing

MOSCOW - The Russian Orthodox Church lashed out at the Vatican ( news - web sites) again Tuesday, saying its reply to a letter meant to straighten out strained relations showed that the Roman Catholic Church is unwilling to stop trying to convert people on what the Russian church considers its territory.

(AFP) - The Russian Orthodox Church criticised the Roman Catholic Church on Friday for allegedly attempting to convert young Russians, including orphans. "Vatican forces think they have to transform Russia into a Catholic country to increase their influence in the world," Orthodox spokesman Vsevolod Chaplin told journalists, claiming however that the conversion rate was poor.

Orthodox priest Alexander Abramov also criticised the Catholic church, accusing it of trying "to manipulate children and orphans."

It's amazing to me how I can be tagged a Catholic basher for trying to share Truth. I am ridiculed, attacked, told to stop evangelizing, threatened with death, as well as finacial attacks and private property destoyed for trying to share with Catholics the Truth in Scripture. They actually "expect"me to stop. (Though I never will!) They expect others to "do as they say" yet they are able to do as they please?" And in most cases the Vatican WILL force its will on others!

Juan Diego never existed, critics argue
By RICHARD VARA and DUDLEY ALTHAUS
Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle

MEXICO CITY -- Rev. Stafford Poole, a priest of the Vincentian order and a research historian based in Los Angeles, said the people's faith is misplaced and this week's canonization is a "blunder."

"He did not exist," said Poole, author of Our Lady of Guadalupe: The Origins and Sources of a Mexican National Symbol.

"The whole (canonization) process has been basically dishonest," Poole said, arguing that it was packed with pro-Juan Diego scholars and historians.

The Pope comes to town. He canonizes a man by the name of Juan Diego. Afterwards, it is discovered the man never existed. Will the pope retract the canonization? Doubt it. The majority of the "Catholic saints" aren't real saints anyway. See the PROOF he was in fact "canonized" here...

JUAN DIEGO, WHO HELPED JOIN 2 WORLDS, IS CANONIZED
First Indian of the Americas Raised to the Altar
MEXICO CITY, JULY 31, 2002 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II canonized Juan Diego, the Indian witness of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose image helped convert Mexico.

The saint, who lived from 1474 to 1548, is the first Indian of the Americas to be raised to the altar.

Describing the newly canonized saint, the Pontiff said, "He facilitated the fruitful meeting of two worlds" -- the European and Indian, which have contributed to the making of present-day Mexico.

Did you know, the man who heads the "Romeland Insecurity Agency" is a Roman Catholic and a Knights of Columbus. He is now calling to abolish the"Posse Comitatus Act." and put the U.S. under a military dictatorship. More sinister still is the fact that Homeland translates into German as Fatherland.

There is no precedent for the use of this word "homeland" in the United States Government.

Ex-Governor of Pennsylvania Tom Ridge.

The actual name of this agency, Office of Homeland Security, is very reminiscent of 20th century era German/Fascist and Russian/Communist secret police agencies. In America, "Homeland" is a neuter word. In German, however, the word is translated as "Vaterland" (Fatherland), Ridge's job is very similar to that of Heinrich Himmler's in Nazi Germany. (Heinrich Himmler (1900 -- 1945) Chief of the Gestapo and head of the
dreaded SS.)

Protector of ALL faiths? In a way, he is "half right." The Vat of sin is in fact the MOTHER OF HARLOTS is it not? Protector though? No.. more like a DESTROYER!

Revelation 17:5, "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

A group of 14 women who were beaten as girls at a Christchurch orphanage have been secretly paid out by a Catholic order of nuns.

The Sisters of the Good Shepherd have paid out undisclosed sums of money and given written apologies to the women acknowledging physical abuse at St Joseph's orphanage in Halswell in the 1930s to 1950s.

Is it ONLY money that the Catholic church seeks help from? It appears so! First you hear of the literal MILLIONS being paid out for CHILD MOLESTATION lawsuits. Now you hear about those nuns that BEAT kids using cold hard cash as well?

World Religious Leaders to Meet in Sicily in September
Sant'Egidio Community Convoking 16th Annual Event

ROME, JULY 16, 2002 (Zenit.org).- With an eye toward addressing the problems of terrorism, poverty and globalization, about 350 Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious and lay leaders will meet in Sicily later this summer.

The Sept. 1-3 conference in Palermo will the 16th in a series of annual events organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio, a Rome-based Catholic group involved in social service programs and mediation of political disputes.

This year's event, expected to draw 5,000 participants, will focus on the topic "Religions and Cultures Between Conflict and Dialogue." Two dozen round-table discussions will be held.

Sant'Egidio spokesman Mario Marazziti explained the purpose of the meeting, which will be close to the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"We want dialogue to be the remedy in the short-, medium- and long-term for the temptation to divide the world, for the wall that tries to separate the Western, Jewish and Christian world from the Arab and Muslim world," he told a press conference.

"Dialogue without naiveté, carried out intelligently, aware of all the present difficulties -- I think it can be an opportunity that must be pursued with all our energy and everyone's energy," Marazziti said.

Sant'Egidio Community began to organize these meetings, following the first World Day of Prayer for Peace of religious leaders, convoked by John Paul II in Assisi in 1986. At that time, the Pope invited all to continue "spreading the message of peace and living the spirit of Assisi."

The upcoming meeting in Sicily may also be important for ecumenism. The Orthodox patriarchates of Moscow and Constantinople have confirmed they will send representatives.

Ishmael Noko, secretary-general of the World Lutheran Federation, and Suday C. Mbang, president of the World Methodist Council, will attend the meeting, as will dozens of bishops and more than 10 cardinals.

Rabbi Rene Samuel Sirat, president of the Conference of European Rabbis, will address the opening session.

Muslim representatives will include Iranian Ayatollah Mohammed Ali Taskhiri and Burundian President Pierre Buyoya. ZE02071607

Care to venture a guess as to what they will discuss? You do realize they will NOT mention that in any article!

5 Blasphemous Web Pages Shut Down
Vatican Newspaper Reports Police Action

VATICAN CITY, JULY 10, 2002 (Zenit.org).- A denunciation by L'Osservatore Romano helped lead to the shutdown of five blasphemous Web pages.

The Vatican's semiofficial newspaper reported the news itself today. The paper in October 2000 had denounced an Internet site that blasphemed the Blessed Virgin Mary.

A consequent investigation by the Italian police's Customs Service found four other similar sites, resulting in the closing of all five.

"This brilliant result demonstrates that serious and rigorous investigations can avoid the use of the precious good of freedom of expression to offend the sensitivity and dignity of others," the newspaper explained.

L'Osservatore Romano disclosed that the investigations took a long time because of "the complexity of the necessary operations to discover the enterprises that make the physical space of the sites available, which are located abroad, as generally happens in such cases."

The newspaper also stated that the probe helped to identify "a Roman businessmen who, through the Internet, sold shirts reproducing blasphemous writings. The man has been reported." ZE02071006

Italian Police Block Porn Web Sites With Catholic Imagery
By Tom Rachman Associated Press Writer
Published: Jul 9, 2002

ROME (AP) - Italian police closed down five U.S.-based Web sites that had been blaspheming Catholicism with a combination of pornographic pictures and offensive statements about the Madonna, police said Tuesday. Investigators first learned about the sites, with names that translate into phrases including "Pig Madonna" and "Blasphemy," in 2000.

"At these addresses, the mention of God and the Madonna, besides being preceded by strongly vulgar language, was tied to explicit images of sex," the police said in a statement.

Blasphemy is illegal in Italy and although cursing has been decriminalized, publishing or broadcasting sacrilegious material can be prosecuted, police said.

Col. Giuseppe Montanaro of the police unit involved in the case said the sites were created in Italy and hosted by Internet providers in Washington, D.C., and California.

A man from Rome faces charges in the case. Authorities were still working on what exactly the charges might be, but Montanaro said the man could face imprisonment and a fine.

Police said they used the same computer from which the Web sites were uploaded to remove the offensive material and replace it with the crest of the special police unit involved.

They did not say whether they informed the Internet providers that hosted the sites. Nor did they name the providers.

"We blocked out these sites because they tied a festival of blasphemy with distasteful sexual images in which they mixed the name of God, the name of the Madonna, with religious cursing," Montanaro said. "But this wasn't enough - they then went on to showing a nun in suggestive clothes or other things in poor taste."

The sites got about 12 million hits in the two years they were open, police said. Authorities were first tipped off by an article that appeared in the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano in October 2000.

This wasn't the only case of crossborder action over offensive Web sites. In France, human rights groups have battled in court to hold the California-based Yahoo! Internet portal responsible for racist material that has appeared on its Web pages. AP-ES-07-09-02 1848EDT

What really confuses me is this. HOW DO YOU BLASPHEME A HUMAN BEING? Mary IS human correct? Blasphemy is ONLY directed towards GOD according to Scripture! And as MANY have seen, the Vatican blasphemes the Lord DAILY! Want proof? See my "words of a beast" page...

Plus... what about the Vatican and all it's sexual imagery? They have statues as well as painitngs of Mary standing INSIDE the Pagan symbol for the female sex organ. (Yonic symbol) Plus, what of all the Pagan symbols that represent the male sex organ (phallic symbol) in the Vatican courtyard, as well as on the roof of EVERY SINGLE Catholic church the world over! (They call them "steeples" today)

Perhaps someone needs to sue the Vtaican to not only such it's blasphemous website down, they should also close all those churches as well!

Haitian Bishops Warn About Voodoo and Fundamentalists

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, JULY 4, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Bishop Alix Verrier of Les Cayes said the Catholic Church in Haiti is exposed to the dangers of voodoo and to Protestant groups coming from the United States.

The voodoo cult is still deeply rooted in the people and even has legal status equal to other religions, Bishop Verrier told the missionary agency Fides.

Warning against the dangers of U.S.-based Protestant fundamentalist groups, the bishop said that they "come with substantial funds and open schools, and the Catholic Church lacks the means to compete with these schools."

For his part, Bishop Hubert Constant of Fort Liberte, president of the Haitian episcopal conference, said that people "who say that sects are harmless are blind."

Voodoo is a religion that is derived from African polytheism and ancestor worship, and is practiced chiefly in Haiti. The cult, which originated in West Africa, mixes religious fancies with Christian and indigenous elements.

The cults, in which animals like snakes, goats, and chickens are sacrificed, are led by "sorcerers" or "priests." Followers of this cult hope for the cure of illness, personal success and satisfaction by the right to revenge. ZE02070421

In the article the Vatican is spewing, "is derived from African polytheism and ancestor worship"

Let's agree with the Vatican for a moment then shall we? And in doing so, close down BOTH the Voodoo religion along with the Pagan church of Rome!

BOCA RATON, Fla. (Wireless Flash) -- First, the Vatican was accused of hiding the records of priests who've abused kids. Now, it's being accused of hiding a time machine.

The machine in question is called a "Chronovisor" and was built in the 1950s by a Benedictine monk named Father Pellegrino Ernetti.

No photos of the Chronovisor exist, but paranormal journalist John Chambers says Ernetti reportedly used the "way back machine" to film Christ's crucifixion for Vatican officials.

Ernetti died in 1994 without revealing the secret of the Chronovisor but Chambers says evidence is mounting that the Catholic Church is hiding a working model from the rest of the world, supposedly to keep it from getting into evil hands.

Sound crazy? Maybe, but there may be something to it. Chambers says a Jesuit priest named Father Francois Brune believes the Chronovisor must exist because -- in the priest's words -- "Ernetti wouldn't lie about such things."

No comment. I just thought you would appreciate a good laugh! Did ya get that last line? ROTFL!

U.N. Convention Against Torture Ratified by Vatican

VATICAN CITY, JUNE 26, 2002 (Zenit.org).- The Vatican officially ratified a U.N. convention against torture, calling it a "valid and fitting instrument to struggle against attempts on the dignity of the human person."

The Convention Against Torture and Other Punishments or Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatments had been adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 1984. The convention came into force in June 1987 and has been ratified by 129 countries.

The document of adherence, signed by John Paul II, was handed to the New York office of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan by Archbishop Renato Martino, the Vatican´s U.N. permanent observer.

The date chosen was significant, as June 26 has been proclaimed the U.N. International Day of Support to the Victims of Torture.

Archbishop Martino reminded the U.N. secretariat that "in contemporary times the Catholic Church has constantly pronounced itself in favor of the unconditional respect of life itself, and has clearly condemned all that which constitutes a violation of the integrity of the human person, such as mutilations, physical or moral torture, [and] psychological pressures."

"With this spirit, the Vatican wishes to contribute its moral support and collaboration to the international community, to encourage the elimination of the inadmissible and inhuman recourse to torture," the archbishop said. ZE02062608

Talk about confusion?! In February of 1990, Pope John Paul II re-insitiutes the "Inquisition" but changes it's name to "The Holy Office" and now he speaks out against torture? Me thinks closing "The Holy Office" would prove he means it eh?

Reality check: The Vatican will indeed continue using torture, and the "governments" will most definitely look the other way. They have done it before, they are doing it now, they will do it again. This so called "ratification" is no different than the bogus "Mea Culpa" of March 12, 2000. It is a public relations ploy, nothing more, nothing less.

Pope Urges Proposes Transcendental Philosophy in Response to Anxiety
Suggests Study of St. Thomas Aquinas´ Thought

VATICAN CITY, JUNE 24, 2002 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II encouraged Christians to give "answers of truth and hope" to people suffering from anxiety by exposing them to a philosophy open to transcendence.

In a word, the Pope urged a "return to metaphysics," of which St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) is a leading proponent. The Holy Father presented the proposal in a message he sent Friday to the participants in the third plenary session of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Anglican Primate Calls John Paul II "Spiritual Leader of Christianity"
Statements of Archbishop of Canterbury During Visit to Rome

VATICAN CITY, JUNE 21, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Archbishop George Carey of Canterbury, primate of the Anglican Communion, called John Paul II the "spiritual leader of the whole of Christianity. -ZE02062107

Jamming of radio signals authorized
Special permission for RCMP, military restricted to G8 summit, Pope's visit

TORONTO -- The Canadian military and the RCMP have been given special authorization to jam radio and cellphone signals during the G8 Summit next week and the Pope's visit to Canada in July.

It's the first time police or the military have ever been allowed to block signals, an official said.

The authorization allows the Department of National Defence and the RCMP to use jamming devices around Calgary and Kananaskis, Alta., from June 17 to June 29 for the summit of leaders from Group of Eight nations. They will have the same power to jam signals in Toronto from July 16 to July 31 -- the Pope is scheduled to arrive in Canada July 23 and depart July 29, with three Toronto appearances in between.

It may be the first time the governments have "jammed signals" of private citizens. But it's NOT the first time the Vatican has solicited the help of the civial authorities against the private sector. Watch as the Vatican uses more and more of its power WITHIN the civil authorities.

But Most Other Indicators Show Stability in Personal Commitments
By Fred Jackson and Allie Martin
June 4, 2002

(AgapePress) - A new poll indicates the vast majority of Roman Catholics in the U.S. are not happy with the way church officials are handling the ongoing sex-abuse scandal.

A new USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll indicates 77% of Catholics believe any priest found guilty of abusing a young person in the past should be removed from the priesthood. The percentage moved to 82% for new cases. In addition, 75% of the Catholics polled say their church has done a poor job of dealing with abusive priests.

Almost nine out of ten Catholics -- 87% -- say the Pope should remove a cardinal or bishop who knew that a priest had been sexually abusing young people and responded by simply transferring that priest to another parish without reporting him to the civil authorities.

You know what amazes me? Catholcis stay IN a church that won't even do as their members suggest! PLUS, they stay in a church that WON'T REMOVE men that are MOLESTING THEIR CHILDREN? Perhaps they deserve each other?

A true believer does eventually see the Light and leaves. Praise the Lord for those few that ARE leaving the Synagogue of Satan.

Pope donates a fragment of forerunner
Rory Carroll in Rome
Monday May 27, 2002
The Guardian

Mutilating a corpse and discreetly packing a piece in your luggage before boarding a plane is the sort of thing that gets people arrested. But not if you are the Pope.

Lopping off a bit of John XXIII and donating it to Sofia's new cathedral was considered an honour to Bulgaria's Roman Catholics, and to a predecessor who died in 1963. Which part was cut off is not clear, because the gift was not part of the official programme of John Paul's four-day visit to Bulgaria, which ended yesterday.

According to the Rome daily La Repubblica the relic, wrapped in a medieval cloth, will be kept in the cathedral as an object of veneration.

It was removed from John's exhumed and restored corpse last July after he was put in a glass coffin and displayed in St Peter's square to thousands of pilgrims. Known as the Good Pope for his compassion, he is on a Vatican fast-track to canonisation, after which he will be St John.

JESUITS HELPED START TWO WORLD WARS

In his book FIFTY YEARS IN THE CHURCH OF ROME, former catholic priest Charles Chiniquy had this to say about the Jesuits: "The Jesuits are a military organization, not a religious order. There chief is the general of an army, not the mere father abbot of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power. Power in the most despotic excercise. Absolute power, universal power, power to control the World by the volition (will) of a single man. Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotisms (dictatorship); and at the same time, the greatest and the most enormous of abuses." (The most monstrous hurt, injury and damage) "The general of the jesuits insists on being master, sovereign over the sovereign. Wherever the jesuits are admitted they will be masters, cost what it may. Their society is by nature dictatorial, and therefore it is the irreconcilable enemy of all constituted authority. Every act, every crime, however attrocious, is a meritorious work, if committed for the interest of the society of the jesuits, or by the order of its general. -page 174, in the book, FIFTY YEARS IN THE CHURCH OF ROME, by Charles Chiniquy.

Both Old and New testament Scriptures declare the Homosexual lifestyle AN ABOMINATION unto God. They shoule be evangelized to REPENT of their sinful desires and become hetorosexual. However, if you are a Catholic, it's not only "ok" to be gay, it's considered an accepted Christian choice?

Family claim Virgin Mary sent $1m gift
A Colombian family caught smuggling $1 million in cash say the money was a diving gift from the Virgin Mary. Colombian customs officials intercepted the three adults and two children after they arrived at Bogota's international airport from Madrid. The money was allegedly stuffed into the soles of shoes, luggage and even the children's clothing. A female member of the group said the money had simply materialised along with an apparition of the Virgin Mary. However, customs officials didn't believe the Easter miracle take and took the adults into custody.

PRIEST SAYS JEWS AND MUSLIMS GO TO HEAVEN. Friday Church News Notes, April 26, 2002 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org)

Catholic priest Michael Manning was interviewed by Larry King on December 1, 2001. King, who is a Jew, asked, "Now Father, if you don't believe in Christ when you die, are you going to hell?" Manning replied: "No, not at all. It's the Catholic belief that Jesus is the source of salvation, Jesus is God; we believe that. But what [do] we say to the millions and billions of people who don't even know about Jesus, are they just thrown into hell? Or what about a Rabbi who really follows the Lord as best he can? As a Catholic, I'm very comfortable that he attains salvation by doing this." King then asked, "So he achieves it without believing in Christ?" Manning replied, "Correct." King asked, "[H]ow do you view Mohammed?" Manning replied: "As a very wise man. I see the beauty of Islam in a very strong way. A simple approach to God. . I'm very touched by Ramadan, by the fasting; the beautiful presence of God and the power of God. And as a Catholic, I need
to learn from that."

First cardinal Francis Arinze says it... Then Pope John Paul II says it... then Billy Graham and Robert Shuller say it... then Pope John Paul II repeats it. It's not wonder mere preists are saying it as well now.

The lying priests echos his leaders in saying that Muslims and Jews don't "know Jesus" and therefore, they can still gain Heaven. Fact is folks, THEY DO KNOW JESUS! They just choose to deny Him is all. Most Jews and Muslims have a VERY compentant knowledge of Christ. This priest is merely lying.

Priests Told to Cut Back on Absolution for Groups

The Vatican announced today that it was cracking down on priests who had become too free in granting group absolution to sinners or otherwise become lax confessors. -NYTimes 5-3-2002

It's bad enough priests THINK they can forgive the sins men have commited against the Almighty that are confessed to them. They also think they can forgive your sins without even hearing them AND IN A GROUP! In fact, these priests are actually blapsheming so much (see Mark 2:7) that there own Pope tells them to "cut back" on the group absolution?

Only Solidarity Can Achieve Human Globalization, Pope Says
John Paul II Meets Mayors of First "Global Forum"

VATICAN CITY, MAY 13, 2002 (Zenit.org).-Globalization presents the demand for solidarity, particularly the construction of a more human world for all, said John Paul II in his meeting with 18 Mayors of some of the world´s most important cities.

The Mayors were in Rome for the launching of the "Glocal Forum," a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting inter-city relations, finding a new balance between global and local forces in today´s world. Walter Veltroni, Mayor of Rome, gave the opening address on behalf of all the Mayors present.

"The ethos of a city should be marked by one characteristic above others: solidarity. Every one of you faces serious social and economic problems which will not be solved unless a new style of human solidarity is created," the Pope said.

"Institutions and social organizations at different levels, as well as the State, must share in promoting a general movement of solidarity between all sectors of the population, with special attention to the weak and marginalized," John Paul II added.

"This is not just a matter of convenience. It is a necessity of the moral order, to which all people need to be educated, and to which those with influence of one kind or another must be committed as a matter of conscience," the Holy Father added.

"The goal of solidarity must be the advancement of a more human world for all -- a world in which every individual will be able to participate in a positive and fruitful way, and in which the wealth of some will no longer be an obstacle to the development of others, but a help," the Pope continued.

"As you reflect on the many complex issues raised by your Conference, I encourage you to see your task as a unique opportunity for doing good, for improving in real ways the world in which we live. May the Almighty enlighten and sustain your efforts. Upon you and your fellow citizens I invoke abundant divine blessings of harmony and peace."

The word, "Catholicism" in English means "UNIVERSAL." Is there ANY doubt that from day ONE the Vat of sin had plans for a GLOBAL TAKEOVER?

Bielefeld, Germany (ENI). The leader of Germany's Roman Catholic Church has been named as co-recipient of a prize usually awarded to individuals for promoting Protestantism in public life. Cardinal Karl Lehmann, chairman of the German Catholic Bishops' Conference (DBK), will share this year's Hans Ehrenberg Prize with Manfred Kock, head of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), at a ceremony in November. Each will receive 5000 Euro. The Hans Ehrenberg Association said the two men were being recognised for their work to promote co-operation between Protestants and Roman Catholics in Germany.

Revelation 16:13-14, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The dream of creating a permanent court to try the world's most heinous crimes on Thursday becomes a reality, hailed by many as a landmark human rights achievement but scorned by the United States. At a morning ceremony at U.N. headquarters, 10 countries bring the total number of countries to ratify a Rome treaty establishing the International Criminal Court to 66 -- six more than needed to bring the treaty into force on July 1.

Back when I was a teen, I saw a new broadcast where the reporter asked a Jewish gentleman in Jerusalem this question... "Your people have been fighting for thousands of years. Aren't you tired of it?" The Jewish man said, "Yes, we are, we will follow Antichrist if he would promise us peace."

Well, it appears that Jewish man was a prophet eh?

Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: he created man and woman in his image and likeness; after the fall, in mercy and kindness, he placed a mark of protection upon Cain, and set in the sky the rainbow as a perennial sign, a covenant between himself and every living creature on the earth.

Benedetto Dio, Padre del Signore nostro Gesù Cristo: ha creato l'uomo e la donna a sua immagine e somiglianza; dopo la caduta, misericorde e benigno, ha impresso in Caino un sigillo di incolumità, e ha posto l'arcobaleno, segno perenne, alleanza tra sè e ogni carne sulla terra.

The Pope is praise the Lord for the "MARK" He placed upon Cain the FIRST MURDERER here. Is this not obvious? The Pope is looks upon the mark of Cain as a PROTECTION? Christians see the mark of Cain as also an open declaration of GUILT as well as the Creator's way of CONFIRMING the guilt by an open and obvious MARK.

Deputy Foreign Minister Michael Melchior is scheduled to go to Rome with Sheikh Tallal el-Sidr of the Palestinian Authority and Latin Patriarch Michel Sabah to meet the Pope and other Catholic leaders, Israel Radio reported. The meeting will be a follow-up to the late January conference on religious cooperation in the Middle East, which took place in Alexandria, Egypt. The organizers of the conference said earlier they are confident they can succeed in keeping the discussion on a spiritual plane and not become involved in politics. What they strive to achieve is a joint declaration condemning violence and the use of religion as a means of inciting violence. -The Jerusalem Post

Passing a controversial anti-cult law, France embarked on what some feared was a trend to restrict and oversee religious movements. And several other European governments may follow suit

CBN.com - One of Europe's oldest democracies is accused of violating religious freedoms. France made headlines last summer, when it took bold steps to control the activities of certain religious and spiritual groups. Passing a controversial anti-cult law, France embarked on what some feared was a trend to restrict and oversee religious movements. And several other European governments may follow suit. A Sunday morning church service in Mulhouse, France where thousands gather in the eastern corner of the country to worship, pray and hear from God is a familiar scene repeated weekly across this country and around the world. But here, where the constitution states: "France shall respect all beliefs"-- evangelical churches like this one, are under suspicion. Such scenes of absolute devotion to God are increasingly viewed as fanatical, irrational. Some even call this church, the largest charismatic church in the country, a cult. And that makes Pastor Samuel Peterschmitt's job of bringing the Gospel to the ends of the earth, all the more challenging. "Now in France, it is very difficult to preach the Gospel," said Peterschmitt, who is pastor of the Full Gospel Mission Church. And he should know. French security authorities monitor his services. They mingle among the crowd. According to Peterschmitt they are listening, they are writing and they are taking down information. "They want to see what we are doing," he said. And the church in Mulhouse is not alone. Using the equivalent of America's FBI, the French secret police have increased their scrutiny on minority groups across France. The Baptists, Evangelicals, and Protestants, along with Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and the Church of Scientology, report growing intolerance and discrimination.

Notice no "Catholic" churches are named as cults? Fact is, the Roman Catholic church IS the largest cult known to man. 99.3% of it's doctrines are NOT found in Scripture. Can there be a better example than Rome?

Pope Sends "Assisi Decalogue for Peace" to Heads of State
Says Church Will Continue to Do Its Part

VATICAN CITY, MARCH 4, 2002 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II sent a letter to all heads of state and government, along with the "Assisi Decalogue for Peace" that aims to guide the post-Sept. 11 world. The letter, sent today, was dated Feb. 24, exactly one month after the prayer summit held in St. Francis' city. The "Decalogue" was proclaimed at the end of the largest meeting of religious leaders in history, called in response to the terrorist attacks on the United States and their aftermath. The document was read by Christians of different confessions, and by Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs and representatives of African and Asian traditional religions, among others. It begins by stating "that violence and terrorism are incompatible with the authentic Spirit of religion." In his letter, John Paul II expresses his conviction that "these ten propositions will be able to inspire the political and social action" of governments. "I was able to witness that the participants in the Assisi meeting were more committed than ever to the common conviction that humanity must choose between love and hatred," the Bishop of Rome wrote. His letter expresses the hope that "the spirit and commitment of Assisi will lead all men of good will to the search for truth, justice, liberty, love so that every human person will be able to enjoy his/her inalienable rights, and every nation, peace." The Holy Father emphasized that the Catholic Church "will continue to be committed so that loyal dialogue, reciprocal forgiveness and mutual concord will guide the course of men in this third millennium." Among other things, in the Assisi Decalogue the religious leaders commit themselves "to taking the side of the poor and the helpless, to speaking out for those who have no voice, and to working effectively to change these situations, out of the conviction that no one can be happy alone."

Key phrase = "The document was read by Christians of different confessions, and by Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs and representatives of African and Asian traditional religions, among others. It begins by stating "that violence and terrorism are incompatible with the authentic Spirit of religion."

The "Spirit of religion" is glorified simply because to speak of the "Spirit of Christ" would mean the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs and representatives of African and Asian traditional religions, among others would not feel welcome in the church of Antichrist. It's truly that blunt.

GRAHAM APOLOGIZES FOR REMARKS HE DOES NOT RECALL MAKING
Billy Graham says he doesn't remember making anti-Jewish remarks to Richard Nixon in 1972 -- but if he did, he's sorry. The evangelist was responding to contents of the latest Nixon Oval Office tapes released last week, which include a conversation between Graham and the former president.

Billy Graham, a known Vatican preacher and Pope glorifier is now apologizing for remarks he does not recall? Does that make it ok? Does that make it better? Does that make that WHITEHOUSE TAPE any less authentic?

(10:20) Catholic, Muslim delegates condemn religious extremism
By The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY - Roman Catholics and Muslims meeting at the Vatican have vowed to work to turn public opinion against religious extremism, the Holy See said yesterday. The Committee for Dialogue of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and the Permanent Committee of al-Azhar for Dialogue with the Monotheistic Religions held their annual meeting last week. The Muslim side represents efforts by the leadership of Al-Azhar mosque and university in Egypt to reach out to Christians and Jews. Al-Azhar is considered by many to be the world's leading seat of learning on Sunni Islam, the faith's mainstream sect. The Vatican said participants observed how "extremism, from whatever side it may come, is to be condemned as not being in conformity with the teachings of the two religions." "Extremists, particularly religious extremists, can sometimes be sincere in their intentions, yet they tend to see themselves as the only ones in the right and to show intolerance to those who do not agree with them, not accepting others with their differences, tending to violate the rights of others, and sometimes using or approving violence," it said. Each side of the committee resolved, "to continue in the path of dialogue and to influence public opinion in order to bring about a rejection of extremism," the Vatican said.

Key Phrase = "Extremists, particularly religious extremists, can sometimes be sincere in their intentions, yet they tend to see themselves as the only ones in the right and to show intolerance to those who do not agree with them, not accepting others with their differences, tending to violate the rights of others, and sometimes using or approving violence"

Reality = In February of 1991 POPE JOHN PAUL II reinstated the OFFICE OF INQUISITION. Is the Vatican now in danger of becoming an extremist? Fact is, they have been as such all along. Speaking out of both sides of the mouth can never change cold hard reality.

Sicily plans Catholic Mount Rushmore

Rory Carroll in Rome
Wednesday February 27, 2002
The Guardian

Looking for an edge in the battle with Greece and Spain for tourists, Sicily has devised a masterplan: a Roman Catholic Mount Rushmore.

There are plans for the faces of the Pope, Mother Teresa and Padre Pio, a miracle-working friar, to be carved into the hills of Segesta in an effort to corner the lucrative pilgrim tourist niche. If the local mayor has his way, the sculptures will be big enough to be seen from space and will draw 250,000 visitors annually.

...Each face, 20 metres (65ft) high, will rival those of the four US presidents carved into the Black hills of South Dakota. The €5m (£3m) cost will be split between private investors, the regional government and nearby Calatafimi.

But the scheme has its critics. Environmentalists fear that Segesta's natural beauty will be destroyed, while archaeologists say funds would be better spent on excavations around the Greek ruins. And not all the locals are thrilled with the prospect of bulldozers shattering the valley's tranquility.

The critics' lawyers have promised a battle royal if Mr Cristaldi wins the backing of the regional government for a planning application.

My Opinion? Plans of such a long term venture will most assuredly never be realized. Maranatha!

Pope notches up three exorcisms
19 February 2002

VATICAN CITY: Pope John Paul has performed three exorcisms during his 23-year pontificate, including one as recently as September, one of the Catholic Church's leading exorcists said on Monday. Father Gabriele Amorth told Italy's La Stampa newspaper that the Pope had carried out his first exorcism in 1982. "This girl was rolling around on the ground. People in the Vatican had never seen anything like it. For us exorcists it is run of the mill," Amorth said. The Pope has since taken part in two more exorcisms, including that of a 20-year-old woman in September, to underline the importance of the ceremony. "He carried out these exorcisms because he wanted to give a powerful example. He wanted to give the message that we must once again start exorcising those who are possessed by demons," Amorth said. For Roman Catholics, exorcism is the casting out of what is believed to be an evil spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands. Amorth said possession by demons took many shapes. "I have seen many strange things . . . objects such as nails spat out. The devil told a woman that he would make her spit out a transistor radio and lo and behold she started spitting out bits and pieces of a radio transistor," he said. "I have seen levitations, and a force that needed six or eight men to hold the person still. Such things are rare, but they happen," he said. Amorth said the woman whom the Pope exorcised in September was still undergoing treatment. "It's a very serious case. A series of curses," he said. The interview was published a day after the Pope warned of the daily temptations of the devil during his Sunday address. "The devil, the 'prince of this world', even today continues his insidious actions. Each and every man . . . is tempted by the devil when he least expects it," the Pope said. The official Roman Catholic exorcism starts with prayers, the blessing and sprinkling of holy water, the laying of hands on the possessed, and the making of the sign of the cross. It ends with the priest commanding the devil to leave the possessed person.

Wait a second here! The Vatican is stating the exorcism worked in September? Would the Vatican LIE? Is the Vatican hoping the World forgot about the following report...?

A British newspaper has reported an unusual encounter with the devil in the Vatican, with Pope Paul II, himself, attempting an exorcism of a possessed young woman.

The Telegraph reported "the Pope carried out an impromptu exorcism on a teenage girl after she began screaming insults in a cavernous voice during an audience in the Vatican City. Despite the Pope's efforts and those of his chief 'Satan-buster,' Fr. Gabriele Amorth, the girl remained possessed. The Devil's voice sneeringly laughed from within her at the Pope's failed attempt to drive him away," said the British news organization. -Staff Writer Sally Suddock

Acts 19:13-16, "Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded."

BTW... in the first article it is stated... "The official Roman Catholic exorcism starts with prayers, the blessing and sprinkling of holy water, the laying of hands on the possessed, and the making of the sign of the cross. It ends with the priest commanding the devil to leave the possessed person."

Search the Scriptures... does it speak of holy water? NO! Does it speak of making the sign of the cross? NO! A blessing? NO! Laying on of hands without oil? NO!

VATICAN RADIO CASE THROWN OUT BY ROMAN COURT
Says Italy Has No Jurisdiction

ROME, FEB. 19, 2002 (Zenit.org).- A Roman Court judge threw out a case against Vatican Radio directors accused of polluting the air with electromagnetic waves from transmission towers, saying that Italy has no jurisdiction over them. Judge Andrea Calabria, of the First Section of the Criminal Court of Rome, said the three directors have immunity under the 1929 Lateran Pact between the Holy See and Italy that established the Vatican as an independent city-state.((Wound Healed))

The Pope leads 1 Billion Catholics. There are a little over 1 Billion Muslims. Makes perfect sense that the Antichrist would want to join forces. The Vatican is responsible for over 150 MILLION murders. And the Muslims...? History is pretty plain there as well. Nevertheless... NOW do you see how they will be able to surround the children of God? That's why the Vatican has no problem making such bold statements as we see in the following article...

John Paul II Entrusts Peace of World to Virgin Mary
At Open-Air Ceremony in Piazza di Spagna

VATICAN CITY, DEC. 9, 2001 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II expressed words of sadness and concern Friday when he entrusted the peace of the world to the Immaculate Conception.

"Dark clouds gather on the horizon of the world," the Pope said. "Humanity, which greeted the dawn of the third millennium with hope, now feels overwhelmed by the threat of new and disconcerting conflicts."

The Holy Father's words were part of a prayer he recited on his knees, before the historic statue of the Immaculate Conception, in Rome's Piazza di Spagna.

"Peace in the world is endangered," the Pontiff said, as he prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is why "we come to you, Immaculate Virgin, to ask you to obtain, as an understanding and strong Mother, that spirits, freed from the smoke of hatred, be open to mutual forgiveness, constructive solidarity and peace."

More than 10,000 people attended the open-air ceremony, including top city officials.

The Holy Father proposed Christian commitment as a source of hope, given the current grave situation.

"Every believer, in his own circumstances of life," must become a sign "so that all will see clearly that fidelity to Christ changes one's personal life and augurs for a future of peace, a better future for all," he concluded.

VATICAN CITY, JAN. 7, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Collectors will have to wait. The Vatican´s euro has been delayed and will not begin to circulate until February. The coin will bear the image of John Paul II but, unlike the former Vatican lira, it does not include his name nor the year of his pontificate during which it was coined. The sole inscription is "Vatican City." The euro should have begun to circulate in the Vatican on Jan. 1, as it did in the 12 member states of the European Union. The delay was caused by Italy´s "Casa della Moneta," which is responsible for the coinage and distribution of the euro. A total of 670,000 Vatican euros will be distributed.

In addition to the Vatican, the Republic of San Marino and the Principality of Monaco have concluded agreements to coin their currency in euros. The price of articles sold near the Vatican is already indicated in euros. The entrance fee for the Vatican Museums is now 10 euros ($9). Entrance to the museums is free once a month. A visit by elevator to the cupola of St. Peter´s Basilica costs 5 euros ($4.50). The euros of the 12 countries that have adopted this currency will circulate in the Vatican.

Pope John Paul II has welcomed the arrival of Europe's common currency. The pontiff says he hopes the euro promotes development and unity. "I address a special wish for peace and prosperity to the nations of the European Union that, today with the single currency, accomplish a historical goal," he said at a New Year's Day Mass. "Justice and solidarity grow in all of Europe, to the advantage of the entire human family!" he added. A dozen nations, including Italy, have adopted the euro. The Vatican, an independent city-state, is also converting to the euro. It is being allowed to mint its own euro coins bearing John Paul's image on one side. It will use the standard euro bank notes.

A SENIOR Vatican official has asserted that illness is the result of sin and that people have a natural desire to be “healthy and good-looking”. Presenting the Pope’s message for Lent, Archbishop Paul Cordes, the German head of the Vatican’s agency for humanitarian aid, maintained that there was scriptural authority for the idea that those who contract illnesses do so because they have sinned. -The Times 2-7-02

CHICAGO, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- While the Roman Catholic Church teaches both capital punishment and abortion are wrong because they violate a view that all life is sacred, many Catholics have no problem siding with life on one issue while opposing it on the other.

Scalia, a member of the high court since 1986 who is considered a solid member of the court's conservative faction, is an abortion opponent, which puts him in good standing with the Catholic church.

CHURCH-STATE RELATIONS UNDER REVIEW IN RUSSIA
Wide-Ranging Session Looks at Taxes, Privacy and Bioethics

MOSCOW, FEB. 3, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Religious leaders in Russia hope to hold discussions with state institutions in order to improve the financial situation of religious confessions.

That was one conclusion of the session of the Christian Interconfessional Consultative Committee Board (CICC), held Jan. 24 at the Department for External Church Relations of the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate.

The session focused on the Russian Federation Tax Code, which presupposes taxation of the activities of religious organizations.

Conferees emphasized the need to improve the mechanism of dialogue between the state and religious organizations and to work with state bodies in the matters of taxation. To that end, the group adopted and sent a letter on the topic to President Vladimir Putin, state Duma Speaker G. Seleznev and Federation Council chairman S. Mironov.

Religious leaders also voiced serious concerns about the threat to human dignity, rights and freedoms posed by the new opportunities of electronic control over citizens´ lives. A round table scheduled for April 17 will probe the issue. Scholars, state representatives and religious organizations will participate.

A conference on bioethics was scheduled for next autumn. It will look at the problems and impact of cloning, genetic engineering, abortion and artificial intelligence.

Conferees at the Jan. 24 event included Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad; Catholic Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz; and V.S. Pudov, chairman of the Moscow Representation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Central Asia.

Also present were the Reverend I. Alisov, of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria in Russia; V.M. Murza, of the Union of Christians of the Evangelical Faith in the Russian Federation; and V.V. Vitko, of the western part of Russia Chapter of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. -ZE02020301

...The forum has also revived an idea that was first launched by the late King Hassan of Morocco in conjunction with the UNESCO in 1998. The idea was to create a kind of "united nations of major religions" with an organ like the Security Council whose task would be to prevent religion from being used for militant political purposes.

Have you read my Truth Provided Newsletter dealing with the fact that soon PREACHING TRUTH will be considered what they are now calling a militant act? That is why they seek Global laws to stop that which prophecy says we will continue preaching. Especially when the prophetic messages we put forth come to be right before the eyes of millions!

Crandall pleads guilty to federal drug charges
Brett Norman
@PensacolaNewsJournal.com

In keeping with the faith he defied, the Rev. Thomas Crandall confessed to crimes in U.S. District Court on Friday that left his unsuspecting Milton parishioners aghast. Standing in a green jumpsuit before Chief Magistrate Roger Vinson, the Roman Catholic priest pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute more than 5 grams of methamphetamine and an indefinite amount of Ecstasy, waiving his right to a jury trial. He is scheduled for sentencing April 17.

...The popular priest admitted buying and selling methamphetamine and the party drug Ecstasy from his rectory next to St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Milton and from his condominium in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

...In October, Crandall developed his own source in New Orleans and began to supply the informant. Investigators surveilled numerous phone conversations, and the informant documented several buys.

...In mid-December, Crandall told the informant that he wanted him to sell between 1,000 and 1,500 Ecstasy tablets for him. Crandall said he paid $6 per tablet and wanted them sold for $8.

JOHN PAUL II´S POINTERS ON HOW TO HUMANIZE GLOBALIZATION
New Culture, New Rules, New Institutions Needed

VATICAN CITY, FEB. 2, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Economic and social observers are not the only ones divided on the topic of globalization. Among Catholics, opinions differ widely on the pros and cons of the subject. To guide this reflection, John Paul II has spoken out on the issue a number of times.

...One of the most salient features of globalization is the growth of financial markets. On Sept. 11, 1999 John Paul II addressed the members of the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice Foundation, at the conclusion of a meeting in which they had examined the theme of ethics and finance.

...The Pontiff noted, however, that there is no international juridical or normative framework to guide financial markets.

...The Pope was careful to say that the globalizing markets in themselves are not bad, and that a summary condemnation of them is not justified.

...The Pontiff also stated that "the more global the market, the more it must be balanced by a global culture of solidarity that is attentive to the needs of the weakest." We should also avoid the mistake of making economic factors absolute, warned the Pope. The economy should always be "integrated into the overall fabric of social relations, of which it forms an important, but not exclusive, component."

Concerning the lack of institutions to govern globalization, the Pope on this occasion went beyond just calling for codes of conduct. "Globalization requires a new culture, new rules and new institutions at the world level," he said.

Often globalization is criticized for imposing a materialistic cultural vision. Last April 27 the Pope examined the role of markets and culture. Addressing the members of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, the Pontiff noted how "the market economy seems to have conquered virtually the entire world."

...Universal human values exist, noted the Pope, and they must be used to guide economic development. If this happens, globalization will be "at the service of the whole person and of all people," he said. -ZE02020201

Revelation 13:16-18, "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

This will happen in your lifetime. In fact, it has already started. Are you ready? Are you sure?

Daniel 8:23, "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up."

It is only natural for the pope to accept the wand of those embracing the "dark sentences" of magic. Now it makes far more sense when you read articles with headlines that read... SERMONS SHOULD BE ENLIVENED BY MAGIC TRICKS SAYS COFE CURATE. The daughters of the whore are doing as mother would want.

(AgapePress) - A pro-abortion Catholic group has launched a campaign promoting the usage of condoms, while attacking the Catholic Church's stance on abortion -- but pro-life Catholics have struck back.

Catholics for a Free Choice leader Frances Kissling initiated the condom promotion and the attack on Catholicism. Among other things, the promotion -- called "Condoms4Life" -- attacks bishops in the Catholic Church as killers of women. Judie Brown of American Life League wasted little time in responding with a campaign of her own.

"Since her initial involvement in abortion -- which commenced with Ms. Kissling's labors for abortion-related organizations and as an employee of an abortion clinic -- she and her cadre of followers have literally blasphemed the truths upon which the Catholic Church is founded," Brown says. "Thus, her claim to be a Catholic is a sham. The organization is a group of heretics, not a group of Catholics." - 2002 AgapePress all rights reserved

It's that easy to see Antichrist in Rome. Just read the words he has them speak.

Cardinal´s Visit to Queen of England Hailed
Vatican Radio Says Old Prejudices "Anachronistic"

LONDON, JAN. 14, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor's historic visit to Queen Elizabeth II over the weekend is a sign that anti-Catholic prejudices in England are "anachronistic," Vatican Radio said today. ..."Important transformations in the relation between the Catholic and Anglican Churches and, more generally in society, have made this historic visit possible," Vatican Radio acknowledged. Elizabeth II received John Paul II at Buckingham Palace in 1982. In 1995, she was the first British monarch since Henry VIII to participate in a Catholic liturgy. According to Vatican Radio, "the last decades have revealed the growth of the role of the Catholic minority in British life. Leaders of the Conservative and Liberal-Democratic parties are Catholics, as is Tony Blair's wife." "Today the old prejudice that considered Catholics as subjects of a foreign sovereign, the Pope, is seen as anachronistic," Vatican Radio said.

The Vatican radio says one thing. the people of England say quite another. Do you recall these headlines of last year...?

300 Religious Leaders Expected at Assisi
Extraordinary Response from Orthodox, Jewish and Muslim Leaders

ROME, JAN. 16, 2002 (Zenit.org).- A provisional list of participants in the Day of Prayer for Peace, scheduled for Jan. 24 in Assisi, reveals that at least 44 religious delegations with 300 people will attend.

Compared to the 1986 and 1993 meetings in Assisi, this is the first time a large Muslim representation from Iran will attend. The final list of participants will be published shortly before the Day of Prayer.

Eleven Orthodox patriarchs, led by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, are planning to attend. So are six ancient Eastern Churches, and 16 Churches and Christian communities of the West. There has been no confirmation from the Orthodox Patriarchate of Moscow.

Also expected are delegations from Judaism, Buddhism, Tenrikyo, Shintoism, Islam, Jainism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and traditional African religions, as well as other Christian denominations.

The Jewish delegation is particularly representative. It includes Chief Rabbi Emeritus Elio Toaff of Rome, who will be in Assisi with Riccardo di Segni, his successor and six other representatives of world Judaism, including French Grand Rabbi Samuel Rene Sirat and David Rosen, president of the Children of the Covenant association.

Never before have so many Muslims responded to a papal invitation as on this occasion. There will be delegates from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, the Philippines, Lebanon, Egypt, the United States, Albania, Bulgaria, Jordan, Jerusalem, Libya, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Italy. Grand Mufti Mustafa Ceric of Bosnia Herzegovina will also attend.

Rissho Kosei-Kai Buddhism will be represented by Nichiko Niwano, son of Nikkio Niwano, founder of this association, who was the first non-Christian observer at Second Vatican Council and who also attended the 1986 and 1993 meetings in Assisi.

In total, some 300 people will join the Pope and his entourage of 33 cardinals, archbishops and bishops headed by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican secretary of state.

Also traveling in a special train from the Vatican will be representatives of movements and ecclesial communities, such as the Focolares, Sant'Egidio, Communion and Liberation, Neocatechumenal Way, and the Taizé Community.

2 Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

Is there not a clearer passage that bluntly proves the Roman Catholic church does NOT BELIEVE THE BIBLE?

A Rutgers journal will put rare Nuremberg documents online.
A plan to rout the church and install a Reich faith is shown.

The fragile, typewritten documents from the 1940s lay out the Nazi plan in grim detail: Take over the churches from within, using party sympathizers. Discredit, jail or kill Christian leaders. And re-indoctrinate the congregants. Give them a new faith - in Germany's Third Reich. More than a half-century ago, confidential U.S. government reports on the Nazi plans were prepared for the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg and will be available online for free starting tomorrow - some of them for the first time. These rare documents - in their original form, some with handwritten scrawls across them - are part of an online legal journal published by students of the Rutgers University School of Law at Camden. "When people think about the Holocaust, they think about the crimes against Jews, but here's a different perspective," said Julie Seltzer Mandel, a third-year law student who is editor of the Nuremberg Project for the Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion.

"A lot of people will say, 'I didn't realize that they were trying to convert Christians to a Nazi philosophy.' . . . They wanted to eliminate the Jews altogether, but they were also looking to eliminate Christianity." Mandel said the journal would post new Nuremberg documents about every six months, along with commentary from scholars across the world, on its Web site at www.lawandreligion.com.

The material is part of the archives of Gen. William J. Donovan, who served as special assistant to the U.S. chief of counsel during the International Military Tribunal after World War II. The trials were convened to hold accountable those responsible for war crimes. The first installment - a 120-page report titled "The Nazi Master Plan: The Persecution of the Christian Churches" - was prepared by the Office of Strategic Services, a forerunner of the CIA.

Fact is folks. This is the plan of the Vatican as well. They have already convinced over 1 billion catholcis world wide as well as countless protestants that the Jesus of Rome is the true Jesus.

This by the way goes without commenting on the now documented facts as well as PICTURES proving the Roman Catholic church was directly involved in the plans and desires of Adolph Hitler. In fact, they are being sued right now concerning same. The prove is listed here... UPDATES ON THE ... VATICAN LAWSUIT

BARCELONA, Spain -- Placing statuettes of defecating people in Nativity scenes is a Christmastime tradition so old and so strong in Spain's Catalonia region that even the Roman Catholic Church here doesn't dare try to ban it. When an exhibit of the figurines in a California museum sparked an angry denunciation from a Catholic group in the United States, Catalonians who cherish the tradition came ardently to its defense. "Unfortunately, there are intolerant people who are offended by any little thing," Josep Maria Joan, director of the Toy Museum of Catalonia, said Monday. His museum has a permanent collection of the figurines, known as caganers. Spanish artist Antoni Miralda's exposition "Poetical Gut" at Copia, a food, wine and arts museum in Napa, Calif., features ceramic figurines of the pope, nuns and angels with their pants down, squatting over their bowel movements.

The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, a 350,000-member group based in New York, has written to the museum's board of trustees to say it finds the show offensive. "When it's degrading, everybody knows it except the spin doctors who run the museums," the group's president, William Donohue, said Sunday. In a tradition that dates back to the 18th century, Catalonians hide caganers in Christmas Nativity scenes and invite friends over to try to find them. The figures symbolize fertilization and the hope for prosperity in the coming year, according to Joan. "It's really only a game," he said. "The caganer is not supposed to steal Jesus' spotlight in the manger scene. But it's logical that when traditions like this are exported they can be misunderstood."

An official with the Cultural Heritage department of the Barcelona Roman Catholic diocese, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the tradition as a harmless game for children and indicated the church has no plans to oppose it. Although the traditional caganer resembles a red-capped Catalonian peasant, Miralda is not the first to depict public figures. Since the 1940s, Catalonians have been making modern renditions of the caganer -- including, recently, Osama bin Laden. For Marti Torrent, founder of the 70-member Association of Friends of the Caganer, the meaning goes deeper than child's play.

To him, the caganer's act symbolizes "the fertilization of the earth" and pride in the land of Catalonia, whose inhabitants won the right to speak their own language and govern themselves after the 1939-75 Spanish dictatorship. "I know that American society is more strict with its religious ideas than we are in Catalonia," said Torrent, 89, who added that what the caganer does is natural. "Even the king has to do it every day or at least every other day."

No War in God's Name, Pope Christmas Message says
Tuesday 12-25-2001
By Philip Pullella

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope John Paul (news - web sites), in his Christmas message to the world, said on Tuesday God's name could never be used to condone violence and urged that children be saved from the cruel effects of adult conflicts. ...``May God's holy name never be used as a justification for hatred! Let it never be used as an excuse for intolerance and violence!'' he said. ``May the gentle face of the Child of Bethlehem remind everyone that we all have one Father.''

Looking back to February of 1991 we see that the Pope is speaking with a forked tongue. Pope Jhon Paull II REINSTITUTED THE OFF OF INQUISITION and renamed it "The Holy Office" in 1991. That office will once again see blood flow in the name of "religion" very soon! The Roman Cathgolic church will once again use DEATH as an evagelistic tool to fill the pews of ROME

16.5 Million Have Participated in Papal Audiences

VATICAN CITY, DEC. 19, 2001 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II has met with 16.5 million people in his Wednesday general audiences, the Vatican Press Office said today. Today's general audience was the last of the year. In 2001 the Pope received 550,000 pilgrims in the traditional midweek audiences. During the Jubilee Year 2000, John Paul II received 1,463,500 people at the audiences. The highest number, 1,585,700, attended during the first full year of his pontificate, 1979.

ANGELUS: BLESSING OF FIGURINES OF BABY JESUS

VATICAN CITY, DEC 16, 2001 (VIS) - Upon his return from visiting the Roman parish of St. Maria Josefa of the Heart of Jesus, John Paul II appeared at the window of his study in order to pray the angelus with pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square.

After the angelus and in keeping with tradition, the Pope blessed figurines of the Infant Jesus that had been brought to the square by the children of Rome. "I thank you," said the Holy Father, "for your Christmas greetings, and I return them with all my heart, invoking peace and serenity for you and your families."

The Pope went on to offer greetings, in English, to representatives of the United Nations World Food Programme who have completed a global survey on the feeding of children at school. "Hunger," he said, "is a continuing tragedy for millions of people around the world, and the school feeding programme has proved to be a very effective way of fighting it and helping the world's poorest children. I pray that the international community will generously support your work, and upon your efforts I invoke Almighty God's blessings of strength and perseverance." ANG/BLESSING INFANT JESUS/...

Vatican Says No Peace Until Israel Quits Territories
December 13, 2001 3:31 pm EST
By Philip Pullella

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican said Thursday peace between Israelis and Palestinians would never be possible until the Jewish state withdrew from the occupied territories and a Palestinian state was born.

More than ELEVEN MEETINGS between the Pope and Arafat, and NONE between the Pope and Sharon. Is it any wonder why the Pope prefers to side with Arafat? The Muslim faith sports over a BILLION strong. The Catholic faith is over a BILLION as well. Plus, since June 26, 2000 the Catholic faith has doubled if not tripled when ALL the Protestant denomnations declared him their leader of the ONE WORLD CHURCH. And the Jewish faith is considerably less than a billion. Just like the Pope that helped Hitler, we see this Pope also has a problem with those that WON'T bow down and accept his Papal Mark of SUNDAY SABBATH. Won't be long, and we will see the true Christian Sabbath keepers in the crosshairs of Rome. Fact is, Rome has been attacking them all along. It's just that soon they will attack us OPENLY as they do the Jews.

Why Queen Elizabeth II Gave Cardinal an Invitation
Reinforces Ecumenism and Promotes National Unity, Biographer Says

LONDON, DEC. 12, 2001 (Zenit.org).- Queen Elizabeth II's historic invitation to Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor to preach at her residence in Sandringham is an obvious sign of a decisive change in English society, the monarch's best-known biographer said. In an interview Dec. 9 with the Italian newspaper Avvenire, Ben Pimlott, rector of Goldsmiths College, said that the Church of England is no longer perceived as England's religion, given the growth of Catholicism and other religions, such as Islam.

However, historian Pimlott said, "it is not true that Catholicism has replaced the Anglican Church."

Rather, he said, "British society has become very secularized, more than in the United States or other European countries, and religion is increasingly less relevant in people's lives." He added: "The majority of Englishmen still look, naturally, to the Church of England as a moral guide at key moments of life, such as marriage, children's education and national mourning."

Yet, when questions arise on issues of bioethics, the BBC interviews the Catholic primate rather than the Anglican leaders, because "on these issues, in the moral area, the Catholic Church has a more defined line," Pimlott explained. Regarding the unprecedented invitation of the queen to the archbishop of Westminster to preach in her residence, biographer Pimlott said that the gesture has two obvious connotations: the sovereign's ecumenical sensitivity, and the desire to reinforce national unity. "Let's not forget that Northern Ireland, just a one-hour flight from London, is still bloodied by a conflict between Unionists and Republicans," he said. "All ecumenical progress in the United Kingdom has positive effects, also, on dialogue in Northern Ireland." ZE01121201

Does the Anglican church keep SUNday as Sabbath? Yes? Do they celebrate Easter and Christmas? Yes? Do they sport special robes and steeples? Yes? I hate to be the bearer of bad news to our British friends, but Rome HAS already taken control of the Anglican church. That's why Islam IS also being offered as an option to many.

As a religious phenomenon it was intimately bound with the politics of Franco's Spain. But today it is a worldwide movement with 80,000 members, 2,000 of them priests. Its members undergo a secret initiation rite, and commit themselves to a rigid code of rules that includes contributing a large, fixed percentage of their income to the organization. Opus Dei does not make public either its membership or its finances -- except in a secret report to the pope every five years. One of its critics recently called it "a mafia in white."

The opposition to it is reflected in the delay in bringing the established canonization procedures to conclusion, but in John Paul, Opus Dei found a strong supporter. Such a close, disciplined group guided by an authoritarian theology was bound to hold strong appeal for the doctrinally conservative pontiff. Almost his first act on becoming pope was to kneel and pray at Escriva's grave in Rome. So it's not surprising that the movement had become a dominant force in the Vatican Curia, the central administration of the Roman Catholic Church. With a saint as their founder, Opus Dei's status and position can only be strengthened.

Worshippers of Mexico's Patron Saint Can Now Make Pilgrimage on Internet
By Will Weissert Associated Press Writer Published: Dec 12, 2001

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of the faithful drove, walked and crawled Wednesday to a basilica honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico's patron saint. But for those who couldn't make it in person, Pope John Paul II launched a Web site allowing them to send their petitions by e-mail.

Using a laptop computer, the pope was the first official visitor to www.virgendeguadalupe.org.mx, an image-filled Web site featuring real-time Masses, a virtual souvenir shop and a complete history of the 1531 appearance the Virgin is said to have made to a poor peasant at Tepeyac, in what is today northern Mexico City.

This is no different than the theology surrounding "Purgatory." If your TOO LAZY to be a Christianb, do this... sin all you like... then DIE and let the flames of Purgatory cleanse you and make you Heaven bound.

Cardinal says rise of fundamentalism makes interfaith dialogue more difficult

episcopalchurch.org News Briefs Dec. 7, 2001

(RNS) Cardinal Francis Arinze, an African often mentioned as a possible successor to Pope John Paul II, said at a meeting in Canada that the rise of religious fundamentalism around the world is making interfaith dialogue more difficult -- but also more important than ever.

When asked if it were possible to dialogue with Muslims who hate or persecute Christians, Arinze said that "it makes religious dialogue much more difficult but also much more important. Fundamentalists make problems for their own religion," he said. As president of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the cardinal has promoted dialogue with a wide variety of religions and helped arrange the pope's visit earlier this year to a mosque in Damascus--the first time in history for such a visit.

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, he has also organized numerous high-level meetings between Roman Catholics, Jews and major Islamic organizations. He is an outspoken proponent of increased respect among all religions and cultures. While he rejects the belief that "all religions are equal," he does not think that Catholics should impose their religion on other cultures, preferring instead to believe that the transforming power of Christ can work through other religions. He is convinced, for example, that Muslims can be spiritually saved.

"The church is not in favor of the imposition of the culture of one people on other peoples, in past decades by colonialism and today by powerful mass media which, by TV alone, quietly but effectively spread a whole philosophy of life that homogenizes culture," he said. "The church is challenging such negative cultural elements as superstition, rugged individualism, materialism, hedonism, permissiveness and utilitarianism."

The TRUE voice of Antichrist. Cardinal Arinze says "he does not think that Catholics should impose their religion on other cultures, preferring instead to believe that the transforming power of Christ can work through other religions"

Did not Jesus say we should share His TRUTH with others that are deceived? This possible "next Pope" has spoken like a TRUE Catholic who truly see's no power in the name of Jesus Christ. Fact is the word Catholic actually means UNIVERSAL. Another fact is folks. From day one the Antichrist has desired to make ALL religions his own.

John Paul II Entrusts Peace of World to Virgin Mary
At Open-Air Ceremony in Piazza di Spagna

VATICAN CITY, DEC. 9, 2001 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II expressed words of sadness and concern Friday when he entrusted the peace of the world to the Immaculate Conception. "Dark clouds gather on the horizon of the world," the Pope said. "Humanity, which greeted the dawn of the third millennium with hope, now feels overwhelmed by the threat of new and disconcerting conflicts." The Holy Father's words were part of a prayer he recited on his knees, before the historic statue of the Immaculate Conception, in Rome's Piazza di Spagna. "Peace in the world is endangered," the Pontiff said, as he prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is why "we come to you, Immaculate Virgin, to ask you to obtain, as an understanding and strong Mother, that spirits, freed from the smoke of hatred, be open to mutual forgiveness, constructive solidarity and peace." More than 10,000 people attended the open-air ceremony, including top city officials.
The Holy Father proposed Christian commitment as a source of hope, given the current grave situation. "Every believer, in his own circumstances of life," must become a sign "so that all will see clearly that fidelity to Christ changes one's personal life and augurs for a future of peace, a better future for all," he concluded.
ZE01120906

Not only does he break the Law of God by bowing before and worshipping a lump of stone called "Mary." He is also declaring the entire planet is dedicated to her? That may very well be true, for the TRUE entity within that lump of stone is in fact Satan himself. And Jesus DID say that this world is the kingdom of Satan did HE not?

One article has the Pope seeking out a human named Mary. The next he is seeking out humanity. Notice something missing here?

American Catholics look more favorably on Muslims and Mormons than they do on fundamentalist Christians, according to a new poll on political, cultural and moral trends in Catholic life.

A nationwide phone survey of 1,508 Roman Catholics found 56% had a favorable impression of Islam. Similar majorities had a favorable view of Mormons (54%), Buddhists (57%) and Hindus (54%), but only 46% of Catholics had a favorable view of fundamentalist Christians. The Oct. 25-Nov. 1 survey by Le Moyne College of Syracuse, N.Y., and Zogby International of Utica, N.Y., had a margin of error of less than +/-3 percentage points.

If only the loyal Catholics new what their very own Bibles say about such activity. It makes it that much easier to understand why the Vatican chooses to teach all Catholics to look at the Bible as a "dead letter" now doesn't it. They fear another "Council of Valencia" is in the making if their flock starts to believe their Bibles. So... rather than put forth proclamation that all Bible are forbidden, it is a far better method to teach that all Bibles are inferior. Sad thing is... many seem to believe the lie.

Pope John Paul II has called a meeting of leaders of all the world's religions on Jan. 24, in the Italian hill city of Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis, to pray for peace and to work to improve relations between Christians and Muslims, which deteriorated following the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. According to Reuters, the Pope, speaking to pilgrims and tourists in St.Peter's Square on Nov. 18, said the international situation concerned him.

In his address on Sunday, the Pope also urged Roman Catholics to hold a fast for peace on Dec. 14. By abstaining from food, the Pope said Catholics could help concentrate their prayers for a world where peace is stable and founded on justice. "Let's try to find proper solutions to the many problems that assail humanity," he said.

He said it was particularly important for Muslims and Christians to show the world ``that religions must never be allowed to become a cause of conflict, hate and violence.'' http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011118/wl/attack

Not too long ago this would be impossible. Prophecy declares the beast in Rome would have his "one world church" and now, thanks to June 26, 2000 and the beginning of the "United Religions Initiative" we see that the Pope has no problem calling ALL the worlds religions to a meeting. AND THEY WILL ATTEND!

According to one global source, the Vatican is the main destination for over $55 billion in illegal Italian money laundering and the number 8 destination worldwide for laundered money, ranked well ahead of such offshore havens as the Bahamas, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.

In a recent report by the London Telegraph and the Inside Fraud Bulletin, the Vatican was named as a top "cut out" country along with the offshore banking centers of Nauru, Macao, and Mauritius. A "cut out" country is one whose banking secrecy makes it is all but impossible to trace laundered funds back to their source.

The Vatican Bank is desperately resisting a legal action for an accounting of stolen World War II assets in a San Francisco Federal court (Alperin v. Vatican Bank) filed by Serb and Jewish Holocaust survivors. Contrary to the above reports, a declaration filed under penalty of perjury by the Vatican Bank’s attorney, Franzo Grande Stevens, states in part that the Vatican Bank’s "fundamental purpose is to promote pious acts" and that its depositors "are essentially limited to Vatican state employees, members of the Holy See, religious orders, and persons who deposit money destined, at least in part, for works of piety." Stevens also declared to the court that the Pope controls the Vatican Bank and that bank records are not retained after ten years.

It seems that the Vatican Bank, a major illegal money laundering operation, is hiding behind the benign image of John Paul II. Given the Vatican Bank’s alleged involvement with Nazi loot and current links to organized crime, a reckoning cannot be far off. The accumulating evidence points to a more piratical than pietical Vatican Bank

Pope is Bin Laden's Christmas target - ex-CIA chief

The Vatican's security advisor believes the Pope is the prime target of Osama bin Laden. Vince Cannistraro says bin Laden sees His Holiness as a symbolic head of the crusaders. The former CIA anti-terrorism chief says he fears a Christmas assassination attempt. Mr Cannistraro says the al-Qaida terror network will attempt an attack during the festive season in revenge for the West's bombing of Afghanistan during the muslim holy month of Ramadan.

"The Pope is the prime target because the US continued to bomb during Ramadan," Mr Cannistraro warns. "He looks at the Pope as the symbolic head of the crusaders and a natural target." Terrorist experts believe an earlier plot on the Pope's life by Islamic extremists was foiled in 1995 when he visited the Philippines. A spokesman for the Vatican told Ananova: "We never comment on the security arrangements of the Pope." Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper says US Intelligence have uncovered plans to assassinate John Paul II at least 3 times in the last five years. Former US President Bill Clinton confirmed the failed plot in the Philippines to kill the Pontiff by a kamikaze pilot crashing a small plane onto the Pope's car. The pilot had been trained in a flight school in the US.

This makes it far easier to explain now. Osama Bin Laden and ALL those that hate "Christianity" are truly hating CATHOLICISM. They THINK Christians are evil simply because of the documented historic facts concerning the atrocities of ROME. The Roman Catholic Church has KILLED over 150 million people, and Bin Laden and all those that think like he does actually look at the Pope as the leader of the Christian church simply because he SAYS he's the leader. Now don't get me wrong. Far more have died for their TRUE faith in Christ than Bin Laden could ever hope to imagine. And that is truly thanks to the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

His mother was burned in the ovens of Auschwitz, yet he converted to Catholicism, rose to the zenith of power in the church, and could become its next leader. Jean-Marie Lustiger spoke with Paul Sheehan.

He started life as Aaron Lustiger. Now he is Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, prince of the Catholic Church, confidant of Pope John Paul II. As the Pope grows more and more frail, Cardinal Lustiger, the Archbishop of Paris, grows more crucial to the leadership of the church.

His own mother dies in the ovens built by the Vatican and Hitler and he joins up with the Vatican?

PROGRESS IN CHRISTIAN UNITY DIALOGUE IS A GIFT FROM GOD

VATICAN CITY, NOV 13, 2001 (VIS) - Made public today was the Holy Father's Message to Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, on the occasion of the council's plenary session. The meeting began yesterday in the Vatican and concludes November 17.

The Pope opened with a reference to the plenary's theme "Communion: Gift and Commitment - An Analysis of the Results of Dialogue and the Future of Ecumenical Research." And he recalled that "full unity among Christians has been my pastoral priority right from the start of my pontificate."

The Holy Father noted the "many encouraging signs (of) the theological search led at the level of the major Churches and ecclesial communities." He remarked that "action in favor of Christian unity has taken on such vast proportions. ... This is an immense gift that God has given us. ... I have personally experienced this gift on my apostolic pilgrimages when often I was the object of many signs of genuine and fraternal charity on the part of members of other Churches and ecclesial communities." MESS/PLENARY/CON-UC:KASPER VIS 20011113 (440)

Not only does prophecy declare this to be the desire of Antichrist. It is also repetedly declared in numerous areas of Scripture that we are NOT to join with those that worship "other gods" for any reason whatsoever! For it is written... 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

SOUTHERN BAPTIST PASTOR CALLS FOR END TO DIALOGUE WITH ROME. Friday Church
News Notes, November 9, 2001 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org)

Official dialogue between Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics have been conducted since 1970. The September 1982 issue of The Commission, the official SBC missions publication, featured articles pertaining to this dialogue. It stated, "For 12 years the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board's Interfaith Witness Department has fostered dialogue at every level." The most recent dialogue at the national level was held in September at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Southern Baptist Pastor Jerry Moser of Bayou DuLarge Baptist Church in Theriot, Louisiana, has been a vocal critic of this dialogue. In a recent newsletter, he wisely warned: "Over the past few years, each time the SBC/RCC conversation has met, it has been followed with a statement posted by RCC leaders. Consistently, these statements have advanced the false impression that Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics recognize each other as Christian communities, and as such are gradually moving toward reconciliation. Typically, SBC participants have allowed this public misinformation to go unchallenged in the public arena. Thus, incrementally, many Southern Baptists have been influenced into accepting something that contradicts the gospel we profess to believe. . . . We Southern Baptists have already published what we believe, and Roman Catholic officials have published what they believe. These publications have been officially approved by each body. No amount of private 'conversation' with individuals will change these published beliefs. So, what's the point of being involved in any more meetings?"

JERUSALEM (November 2) - Hebrew University Prof. Robert Wistrich said yesterday he is resigning from the Catholic-Jewish commission appointed to study the role of the Vatican during the Holocaust.

Wistrich, who made the announcement at a session of the World Jewish Congress meeting in Jerusalem, said that as a result of the failure of the commission, Catholic-Jewish relations are at their lowest point since the formulation of Nostra Aetate, the 1965 Vatican document that expresses the church's new outlook toward Jews and Judaism.

He said his was a private decision, but a second Jewish scholar, Bernard Suchecky of the Free University of Brussels, is also resigning.

The two resignations make it unlikely the commission will be able to continue. Wistrich said he feels this was his only option in the face of continued Vatican refusal to open its archives to commission members.

The commission was established in October 1999. Its three Jewish members were appointed by the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultations. The third is Michael Marrus of University of Toronto. The Catholic members, appointed by the Pontifical Commission on Religious Relations with the Jews (PCRRJ), are Eva Fleischner, of Montclair State University in New Jersey; Rev. Gerald Fogarty, of the University of Virginia; and Rev. John Morley, of Seton Hall University in New Jersey.

In July, the commission suspended its activities, following the Vatican's failure to answer 47 preliminary questions put to it by the entire commission and its refusal to give the scholars access to unpublished material in its archives. (Read entire article here... http://www.jpost.com/Editions/2001/11/02/News/News.37419.html )

STILL the Vatican REFUSES to open the archives concerning goings on during the Jewish holocaust. Why? It's simple, THEY HAVE SOMETHIGN TO HIDE! Soon the lawsuits against the Vatican that are being thrashed out in the courts thanks to the Law Offices Of Jonathan Levy and Thomas Dewey Easton will have many questions answered. Soon everyone on earth will know just how evil this Vat-of-sin in Rome truly is.

Common sense folks. If the Vatican did nothing wrong, then why don't they answer the 47 preliminary questions put to them, and open the archives?

Friday Church News Notes, November 2, 2001 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org) Roman Catholic bishops in the European Union have issued a report calling for the creation of a global government "to counter worldwide poverty and instability." This is the type of thing that the Antichrist will also promise in his quick rise to power in coming days.

Antichrist is standing much bolder now folks. This can only mean one thing. The prophetic facts for our day are about to escalate like never before. REPENT!!! FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND!

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Coin collectors get ready -- the Vatican is about to mint what may soon become a rare species -- its own version of the euro. The Vatican, one of the world's smallest states, will play a small but symbolic role in one of the world's greatest currency revolutions when it produces its own batch of euro coins.

The Vatican, a 108 acre (44 hectare) walled city-state surrounded by Rome, unveiled the design for its euro coins on Monday. They feature a specially commissioned, up-to-date profile of Pope John Paul II, who is 81 and in the 24th year of his papacy. Only 670,000 coins, valid throughout the euro zone, will be minted each year and collectors are expected to snap up most of them. The coins, bearing twelve stars symbolising the European member states that are in the zone, will be minted early next year in various metals. Existing Vatican coins are denominated in lire and feature a profile of the Pope when he was younger.

When Italy chose to join the euro zone, the Vatican, as a sovereign state, could have started its own currency or linked itself to another one, such as the Swiss franc, the British pound or even the dollar. Instead it decided to go along with the decision of its more powerful neighbour, one of the 12 EU states that will switch to the euro from national currencies in January 2002

No, the Vatican would never join with the Swiss, British, or American dollar. Gold is what backs the Euro, and ALL the gold for it is in the Vatican treasury. The Euro actually is the brainchild of Rome. The devil understand prophecy folks. As it is written in, James 5:3, "Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days."

This world is about to see a finacial collapse as prophecy declares. THAT is why the devil instructed those possessed by him to attack the WORLD Trade Towers. When the US Dollar and all other dollars collapse due to economic disastors, the Euro dollar will be the only one able to stand. Why? The Euro is backed by gold. The US dollar and many nations that emulate our system are backed by the nations ability to MAKE MONEY. If our ability to make money is suddenly crippled because of natural disastors mixed with demonic terroist attacks, then only the VATICAN BACKED Euro will be woirth anything. THEN you will have your one world monetary system in Rome along with the one world church, court, and government!

*Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat arrived in Rome tonight for talks with Pope John Paul II and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
ROME, Oct 29 AP

Arafat told reporters at Caimpino airport that international pressure was behind Israel's decision to withdrawal troops from Bethlehem and nearly Beit Jalla and said he hopes the pullouts would continue. Israel said today it would withdraw from four more West Bank towns if a cease-fire can be maintained. The incursions have been sharply criticised in the international community. Arafat was to have an audience tomorrow morning with the pontiff, then a meeting with Berlusconi. The Palestinian leader is a frequent visitor to Rome. He was last here in August for meetings with the pontiff and Berlusconi. Today's audience with John Paul will be there 11th meeting. Italy is a strong supporter of Palestinian rights and backs Arafat's call for an international force to monitor the conflict. Since the fighting began more than a year ago, more than 700 people have been killed on the Palestinian side and nearly 200 on the Israeli side.

Two nations that both embrace killing. The Muslims that are ruled by Arafat with their Koran that declares "Kill the infidel!" And the Pope who leads the very church that killed 150 million Christians have had ELEVEN MEETINGS since the unrest began? How many meetings has the Pope had with leaders of Israel? One? Two? None?

One can see where the allegiance of the Pope resides. Just as it was back in Hitler's day, the Pope is siding with the one that openly hates the Jewish people.

ROME (Reuters) - Pope John Paul in a move with possibly major political repercussions, offered an olive branch to China Wednesday, apologizing for errors of the colonial past and pleading for the establishment of diplomatic relations. In his appeal to Beijing's communist government, which prohibits Catholics from recognizing his authority, the Pope said the world was facing ``profound disquiet'' and would benefit if both sides had direct dialogue.

``The normalization of relations between the People's Republic of China and the Holy See would undoubtedly have positive repercussions for humanity's progress,'' he said in a message to a convention on dialogue between China and the West.

``I express the hope that concrete forms of communication and cooperation between the Holy See and the People's Republic of China may soon be established,'' he said.

China is one of the few countries without diplomatic relations with the Vatican and those Chinese Catholics who do recognize the Pope as their spiritual leader worship underground. In his message, the Pope called the Catholic Church and China ``two of the most ancient institutions in existence'' and asked for ``forgiveness and understanding'' for the errors of missionaries in colonial times.

Saying he felt ``deep sadness'' for past error, he added that the Church should not fear historical truth and was ready, ''with deeply-felt pain,'' to admit the responsibility of her children.

``For all this I ask the forgiveness and understanding of those who may have felt hurt in some way by such actions on the part of Christians,'' he said.

The request for forgiveness was the latest in a series of appeals the Pope has made in his 23-year Pontificate for the Catholic Church to come to grips with its sometimes tainted past. He has previously asked for forgiveness from Jews and indigenous peoples for historical wrongs. The Pope, who nourishes an ardent wish to visit China, said the Church had a keen desire to offer ``her humble and selfless service'' for the good of all Chinese people.

Relations between the Vatican and Beijing hit an all-time low last year when the Pope canonized 120 Chinese martyrs killed between 1648 and 1930. Beijing angrily accused the Vatican of insulting China and glorifying imperialism. The Vatican said the martyrs were killed because they were loyal to their faith. Beijing said most were traitors executed for breaking laws when colonial forces invaded China during the 1839-42 Opium War, and during the 1898-1900 Boxer Uprising.

Not too long ago the Pope also apologized the ISRAEL. Yet, the pope "hid" many facts in regards to the connection between Hitler and the Pope of that day. Plus, the Pope also sought "diplomatic ties" with the nation of Vietnam not too long ago. Yet the Vietnamese people are Buddhists and would NOT "convert" to Catholicism. Which in fact is the ONLY reason this Pope is going from country to country. And as well all know, since the Vietnamese would not go along with the Pope. War commenced. (For Jesuit admissions to that fact, click here)

Now, all I ask you to do is watch. The Vietnamese people didn't fall for the Pope's words... WAR resulted. The Israeli people didn't fall for it either... WAR resulted. Now the Chinese people are on the agenda.

China's government wants normal ties with Vatican

China says it wants to establish normal ties with the Vatican following a papal plea of forgiveness for past errors, but stuck resolutely to conditions it deems necessary for this to happen. Foreign ministry spokesman Sun Yuxi says that if Beijing and the Holy See were to restore links, the Vatican would have to cut diplomatic relations with Taiwan and promise not to interfere in China's internal affairs. In an historic move on Wednesday, Pope John Paul II said he felt deep sadness for these errors and limits of the past and wanted to normalise relations between the Vatican and Beijing. Mr Sun says is Beijing is making further studies of the Pope's statement. Sino-Vatican relations were broken off in 1957 following the excommunication by Pope Pius XII of two bishops nominated by the Communist regime.

One of two things must now happen. Either China repeals it's conditions. Or Rome breaks ties with Taiwan. I personally don't see either happening. So... what MUST happen? Taiwan has to be removed from the negotiations in such a way that both parties are happy. WAR!

Pope Beatifies Married Italian Couple as Model to Follow
By Frances D'emilio Associated Press Writer
Published: Oct 21, 2001

VATICAN CITY (AP) - A husband and his wife hailed by Pope John Paul II for leading an exemplary life were beatified Sunday - the first spouses beatified together in at least five centuries. John Paul called Luigi Beltrame Quattrocchi and Maria Corsini, Italians who died in 1951 and 1965 respectively, model Catholics for everyday life. Beltrame Quattrocchi and Corsini became the 1,273rd and the 1,274th Catholics to be beatified by the pontiff since his tenure began 23 years ago. The Vatican said they were the first spouses to be beatified together in the last five centuries, when detailed records began being assembled of the processes involved in beatifications, the last formal step before sainthood.

A married couple, martyrs Aquila and Prisca, became saints in the very early days of Christianity. Beltrame Quattrocchi and Corsini "lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way," John Paul said during the ceremony, which was held in St. Peter's Basilica instead of St. Peter's Square because of heavy rain. Beltrame Quattrocchi was a lawyer who worked for the Italian government and for banks and was active in several Catholic groups. His wife comforted soldiers during World War I and later studied nursing and accompanied invalids traveling to shrines in such places as Lourdes, France. Two of their sons - who helped the pontiff celebrate Mass on Sunday - became priests, and a daughter became a nun. Another daughter attended the ceremony.

At first supporters of dictator Benito Mussolini's regime, the couple later rejected fascism and opened their Rome home to resistance fighters, sometimes lending their priest sons' vestments to help partisans escape controls by Nazi occupiers. "Dear families, today we have a singular confirmation that the path to holiness, followed together as a couple, is possible, is beautiful, is extraordinarily fruitful and is fundamental for the good of the family, of the church and of society," the pontiff said. He had special words of encouragement for those couples who experience "the drama of separation," illness or the death of a child.

The theology of Rome repeatedly declares LOOK TO MANKIND for your way to be holy. Walk into a Catholic church and what do you see? You see a DEAD Jesus on a cross. A DEAD Jesus in the arms of His mother, or an INFANT Jesus in the arms of His mother. In all instances, Jesus is either DEAD or an INFANT in which case means, Jesus Christ is NOT able to help you. Now look at the statues of Mary... Joeseph... Anthony... Christopher... etc. They are all alive and well and perfectly able to assist you in an way shape or form. In fact, KNEELERS are placed before these statues encouraging not only worship of the dead, but prayres to the dead as well.

UN Religion Meeting Blames Religion For Terror Attacks On US

NEW YORK, Oct 12, 01 (CWNews.com) - The founder of the United Religious Initiative, a movement that seeks to become the dominant religious voice at the UN, blamed religion for the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.

At a Wednesday meeting at the UN Church Center, the Episcopal Bishop of San Francisco, William E. Swing, asserted that the hijackers did not hold a corrupted version of Islam because religions -- all religions -- are guilty of fostering terrorism. "There is a lot of terror and violence in a lot of scripture. There has to be a critique of that. We have to hold the religions' feet to the fire for the violence and terror within them."

Swing said, "The nations of the world have met every day for the past fifty years, the religions of the world have not. Who is more moral, the nations of the world or the religions of the world?" URI seeks to create a permanent body of religious ambassadors -- a parallel organization to the UN -- to address the problem of "fundamentalists in our own groups," an issue that traditional religion "wimps out on." Swing proclaimed that, in light of the terrorist attack, "It's a new day for inter-religious activity in the United States."

Other participants at the meeting criticized either religion or capitalism. One person said, "The problem is religion -- the whole concept of religion that requires conformity. The truth is different for every individual." Another claimed, "All religions have fanatical elements, we must delete those elements from scripture." Still another said, "The underlying causes are economic. We want more oil and bigger cars." Swing agreed, repeatedly saying "we must address the brokenness at the root of the terrorist attacks by bridging the chasm between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots'." One participant wondered "how we can have a heart to heart dialogue with the terrorists."

Giandomenico Picco, former UN Under-Secretary General, recounted his experiences dealing with terrorists in Lebanon and Afghanistan. Picco grew increasingly exasperated by the comments of Swing and the other participants. Picco said the terrorists engaged in a "hijacking of Islam, a hijacking of ideas." Picco also said, "Collective responsibility is baloney -- there is individual responsibility for actions or no responsibility at all. ...Why did they do it? Because they are wrong, they are criminals." According to Picco, the real "chasm" Swing referred to is not between rich and poor, but between "those willing to kill innocent people and those not willing to kill innocent people."

URI was founded in 1995 and is active in 58 countries. Along with Protestants and disaffected Catholics, URI includes witches, Druids and members of New Age movements. Swing himself is hostile to traditional and conservative faiths, once saying that "proselytizing will be illegal in the United Religions zone," an area he says he wants to create. The Vatican has condemned URI for syncretism, which is the blending together of elements of all religions.

Here we see a bishop declaring religion is responsible for terrorism. ALL religions foster terrorism he says. Yet, the TRUE Christianity of the Scriptures speaks of no such thing, in fact it says Matthew 5:44 that we should, "...Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" That fact however, is not commented on. Watch how this agenda is snowballed into an open and outright hate filled war against the TRUE Christians the world over. Soon, all Sabbath keeping Christians will be the target of extreme hatred. And the United Religions that is headed up by the Pope himself as of June 26, 2000 will see to it. This ministry has been preaching for years that those of us that preach the truth about the Antichrist will be tagged, terrorists as well as racists because of "certain laws" passed with the help of Rome. To put it bluntly, this United Religions Initiative is just another name for Vatican Police.

ROME (AP) - President Bush's father, former President George Bush, had breakfast Thursday with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and then a private audience with Pope John Paul II. The former president is in Italy on what the U.S. Embassy calls a "strictly private visit." He met with President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and Foreign Minister Renato Ruggiero on Wednesday. On Thursday morning, he had breakfast with Berlusconi in the billionaire businessman's palatial private residence in downtown Rome. Security, which has been tight throughout the senior Bush's visit, snarled traffic for blocks. Berlusconi told reporters afterward that he had assured Bush of Italy's solidarity with the United States in the war on terrorism. The elder Bush began his visit to Italy on Monday in Milan and has tried to keep the trip low-key by avoiding interviews and press conferences.

Pope Urges Prayers So That World Is Saved From 'vicious Scourge of Terrorism'
The Associated Press
Published:Sep 30, 2001

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Declaring Sept. 11 a dark day in history, Pope John Paul II on Sunday called for frequent prayer to help save the world from the "vicious scourge" of terrorism and said justice goes hand-in-hand with peace. Speaking from the window of his private studio overlooking St. Peter's Square, he also encouraged Catholics to be "on the front lines in the search for justice, in banishing violence and in being agents of peace." John Paul invited faithful to say the Rosary, "possibly every day, for peace, so that the world be saved from the vicious scourge of terrorism." "The terrible tragedy of Sept. 11 will be remembered as a dark day in the history of humanity," the pontiff said. He added the church intends to "remind all men of their duty to construct a future of peace for the entire human family." In an apparent reference to the U.S. determination to bring the terrorists to justice, John Paul said, "Certainly, peace is not separated from justice, but it must always be fed by mercifulness and by love." During a trip to Kazakstan a week ago, John Paul prayed: "I beg God to keep the world in peace," an appeal that was taken by some to mean he was insisting that dialogue, not war, might prevail in dealing with terrorism - in line with his opposition to the Persian Gulf War a decade ago. But later in the trip, the pope's spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, spoke of the principle of "just wars" - suggesting the Vatican might not oppose a U.S. military response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In Sunday's appeal to the faithful in St. Peter's Square, John Paul also repeated his frequent calls for unity among Jews, Christians and Muslims, saying they all love one God "The three religions, thus, have the vocation of unity and peace." John Paul concluded by praying for "all of humanity, so that hate and death may not have the final word." Looking weary, the 81-year-old John Paul drew loud applause after his appeal denouncing terrorism. AP-ES-09-30-01 0802EDT

The three religions all LOVE ONE GOD? Sad truth here is, he's right! The Catholic church is openly twists the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Muslims deny Jesus as Lord. And the Jews deny Him as well. So, in fact, all three religions are already totally under the control of Antichrist.

Pope's Role to Be Discussed as Bishops Say What's on Their Mind
By Frances D'emilio Associated Press Writer
Published:Sep 30, 2001

VATICAN CITY (AP) - A weary-looking Pope John Paul II opened a meeting of the world's bishops Sunday, inviting them to openly discuss calls to re-think the supreme role of the pontiff and to give more power to the church at local levels. The monthlong bishops' gathering, known as a synod, is part of the 81-year-old John Paul's strategy to invigorate the Roman Catholic Church at the start of Christianity's third millennium. Papal primacy, or the supreme role of the pope, both within the church and with respect to other Christian religions, will be discussed, said Cardinal Jan Schotte, who is in charge of the synod. John Paul has acknowledged that papal primacy has been a stumbling block in his quest for closer relations with other Christians, notably the Orthodox church. John Paul has issued a papal letter on the question, but has made no concrete proposals about on how to deal with it. John Paul will listen for hours to nearly daily sessions of speeches by bishops before the synod wraps up on Oct. 27. On Sunday, John Paul greeted some 270 synod participants, including bishops and cardinals from around the world, and told the men they must be examples of goodness for their flocks. Bishops, he said, are called on "to be prophets who point out with courage the social sins tied to consumerism, to hedonism, to economies which produce an unacceptable divide between luxury and misery."

"In as much as we're talking about an arduous and tiring mission, let no one lose heart," John Paul said. The ailing pope seemed tired after a grueling trip to Armenia and Kazakstan last week. He spoke slowly and tightly gripped the handbar of a wheeled-pedestal as aides guided him up the main aisle of the basilica. During the synod, bishops will also debate what Schotte called their flocks' "religious illiteracy," or lack of knowledge of many tenets of their faith. Schotte said bishops also indicated they wanted to talk about having greater democracy within the church. Earlier this year, some cardinals proposed that the Vatican share power with local dioceses, giving them a say in, for example, the selection of bishops. Many Catholics in the United States and Western Europe are unhappy with the Vatican's strong hand in church matters. In a reflection of that resentment, rank-and-file faithful as well as Catholic and other Christian theologians who want more power for local churches are expected to hold a "shadow synod" in Rome in the coming days. AP-ES-09-30-01 0802EDT

Here we see "PAPAL PRIMACY" is a major goal in the coming days. Is this not what was prophecied? First the one world church elects this Pope as their leader. And now the Pope is looking for ways to make sure that HIS WORDS ARE THE FINAL SAY in all religious activity! Why? The mark of the beats cannot be enforced if the people look to the Pope as one NOT to lead.

Vatican allows Scrolls change
Tuesday September 11 2001
The Times UK
By Richard Owen in Rome

THE Vatican is to abandon decades of secrecy and obstruction to allow changes in the Bible based on revelations in the Dead Sea Scrolls, more than half a century after they were discovered. The extent of the changes is expected to be disclosed this month, but the revised version of the New Jerusalem Bible will take fine years to complete. The scrolls have been the subject of controversy between Jewish and Roman Catholic scholars since they were found in caves at Qumran on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea in 1947. The Vatican has been accused of keeping them secret for fear that they would undermine Christianity. In the Dead Sea Scrolls Deception, two British authors, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, accused the Vatican of suppressing the scrolls because they contained material at odds with accepted Christian belief. The Jerusalem Bible, which was first published in French in 1956, appeared in English ten years later. The writer J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the translators. It is the official text for use in Roman Catholic liturgy and revisions are subject to approval by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the Pope's keeper of doctrine. Father Gianluigi Boschi, a Dominican theologian at the Pontifical University of St Thomas Aquinas in Rome and a leading expert on the scrolls, said in the recent growth in scroll scholarship and the publication of previously inaccessible scrolls meant that some of the changes would be radical. He is to address a conference on the changes this month. Father Boschi said that the project would link "the whole picture of the origins of Christianity" to the findings at Qumran. He declined to say which passages would be modified, but predicted that the changes would be "surprising and innovative". It was time to end "the extraordinary scenarios put about by conspiracy theorist who claim that the Vatican has manoeuvred to hide the truth about the Dead Sea Scrolls". Several of the intact scrolls, preserved in terracotta jars at Qumran by an ascetic sect called the Essenes, are now kept at the purpose-built Israeli Shrine of the Book. Many of the other texts and tens of thousands of scroll fragments were brought with the aid of Vatican funds and have been under the control of Dominican scholars at the Ecole Biblique et Archeologique Francaise in Jerusalem since the 1950s. The failure to publish more than a fraction of the Ecole Biblique scrolls led the Oxford biblical scholar Geza Vermes to call it "the academic scandal of the 20th century". Hershel Shanks, editor of the Biblical Archaeology Review in Washington and author of Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls, said that "unbiased Catholic experts" were now in the forefront of scroll scholarship. he said it was hart to imagine what the scrolls could contain that could undermine Christianity. Minor adjustments have already been made to the Jerusalem Bible in the light of the two scrolls versions of the Book of Isaiah.

On the very same day the terrorists changed forever the New York City skyline, we see the Vatican announing they too will change the Bible. Need I suggest what changes are evident? Is SUNday Sabbath radical enough?

*Text of Pope John Paul II's Prayer for Peace

Published: Sep 23, 2001

Text of Pope John Paul II's prayer for peace Sunday in Astana, Kazakstan:
From this city, from Kazakstan, a country that is an example of harmony between men and women of different origins and beliefs, I wish to make an earnest call to everyone, Christians and the followers of other religions, that we work together to build a world without violence, a world that loves life, and grows in justice and solidarity. We must not let what has happened lead to a deepening of divisions. Religion must never be used as a reason for conflict.

From this place, I invite both God whose children we all are, that the supreme good of peace may reign in the world. May people everywhere, strengthened by divine wisdom, work for a civilization of love, in which there is no room for hatred, discrimination or violence.

With all my heart, I beg God to keep the world in peace. Amen.
AP-ES-09-23-01 0231EDT

The Pope said, "Religion must never be used as a reason for conflict." Looking back to February 1991 when Pope John Paull himself re-insitituted the "The Holy Office" formerly known as the INQUISITION, we see again a two-faced message being preached from Rome. The Pope is telling evryone the World over that we should not allow Religion to become a reason for conflict, yet when you look back in History you see that's exactly what the Spanish Inquisition was designed to do. And this very same Pope re-institutes that very office just 10 years ago?

Catholics, Muslims Look for Boost to Peace in Papal Prayers in Kazakstan
By Judith IngramAssociated Press Writer
Published:Sep 23, 2001

ASTANA, Kazakstan (AP) - Bundled in scarves and sweaters against the autumn chill, Catholics, Muslims and self-proclaimed religious skeptics gathered Sunday under Astana's World War II memorial, hoping to hear Pope John Paul II's message of peace following this month's terrorist attacks.

"What's happened has shocked the world so much that people need his words of hope and love and faith. That's why we came," said Zinova Bigaliyev, a 42-year-old cellist who traveled 20 hours by bus and train from the neighboring Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan to attend the Sunday Mass.

The pope arrived in the Kazak capital late Saturday on his first foreign trip following the terrorist strikes Sept. 11 against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. ...A military helicopter slowly circled above, while policemen and security guards scrutinized entry tickets and burrowed through people's bags, inspecting the sausages, bread and apples they brought for the hours-long wait before the start of the Mass. ...I hope the pope will help us see our future just a bit, let us know whether things will improve," said Dowlet Magomadvedov, 38, a construction engineer who described himself as a religious "doubter." "I hope he'll help us unite, especially in the situation the world is in. This trip is very timely." AP-ES-09-23-01 0030EDT

Something is afoot here. Watch how this new found religious spirit, and I do mean "religious spirit" is milked to it's fullest extent. Watch how the Vatican and other churches linked to it start to play up this new found religiosity. Then watch how the disastors increase as prophecy declares is now imminent. Notice how acts of war, earthquakes, freak storms, stock market crashes and other strange disastors start to increase.

Pope Calls for Religious Tolerance, a "civilization of Love" Following Attacks
By Judith Ingram Associated Press Writer
Published: Sep 23, 2001

ASTANA, Kazakstan (AP) - Pope John Paul II made a plea Sunday for religious tolerance, telling tens of thousands of pilgrims in the Kazak capital that Christians and Muslims should work together for a "civilization of love."

...The pope used his first Mass in Kazakstan, a largely secular country divided roughly equally between Christians and Muslims, to make his call for religious reconciliation. Addressing the devout and those "searching for truth," the pope pleaded for people to follow the "logic of love" propagated by Jesus Christ.

"It is a logic that can bring together Christians and Muslims and commit them to work together for the 'civilization of love,'" the pope told a crowd of 50,000 in the city's central Mother of the Homeland Square. AP-ES-09-23-01 0220EDT

A "civilization of love" and a "logic of love" is now being preached. This will no doubt be the theme Antichrist will dwell on in the coming moths so as to draw even more into his church. Notice that non-believers in Jesus Christ are now looking to the Pope for answers?

* More Muslims Than Christians to Attend Papal Mass
John Paul II a Popular Figure in Kazakhstan

ROME, SEPT. 6, 2001 (ZENIT.org-Fides).- More Muslims than Christians will attend the big public Mass that John Paul II will celebrate when he visits Kazakhstan this month. Father Edoardo Canetta, a member of the papal-visit organizing committee and an Italian missionary who has been in Kazakhstan for the past seven years, announced the news during a press conference on the Sept. 22-25 trip. On Tuesday, tickets started to be distributed in Kazakhstan for the Mass and other papal events, the priest said. The organizers marveled at the response: 90% of those requesting tickets are Kazakhs, a traditionally Muslim ethnic group. "There is enormous expectation for the Pope's arrival, not only among Catholics, but also among Orthodox and Muslims," Father Canetta told the Vatican agency Fides. The grand mufti has called on Muslim faithful to prepare to receive the Great Guest. Several Muslim religious leaders have invited Muslims to attend the Mass, "a sacred action, which will do us good also," they said. Only 300,000 of the republic's 15 million people are Catholic. In a national competition held two years ago, John Paul II was named the most popular figure of the 20th century. Unlike their counterparts in Ukraine, the Orthodox in Kazakhstan also look forward to the Pope's visit. Catholics enjoy good relations with Orthodox in Kazakhstan. In fact, several parish buildings are shared. Today, Monsignor Tomasz Peta, apostolic administrator in Astana, met with Orthodox representatives to cooperate in organizing the visit. He is also scheduled to meet with the new Lutheran bishop. To date, 500 journalists are accredited to report on the visit. The most numerous are Kazakhs, followed by reporters from Ukraine, Poland and Russia.

Only those that do NOT believe the Christian Bible see nothing wrong with going against that which is written... 2 Thessalonians 3:14, "And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed."

Archbishop: Mother Teresa Had 'Evil Spirit' Expelled
The Associated Press C A L C U T T A, India, Sept. 6

— Mother Teresa had an exorcism performed on her while she was hospitalized in 1997, the Archbishop of Calcutta said Wednesday. The disclosure by Archbishop Henry D'Souza came as hundreds of people in this eastern Indian city paid homage to the renowned caregiver on the fourth anniversary of her death. But the Rev. Richard McBrien, a Notre Dame theology professor, called the exorcism and the archbishop's explanation for it "bizarre." Not Expected to Affect Sainthood Bid

After Mother Teresa died, Pope John Paul II waived the customary five-year waiting period to start the process leading to possible sainthood. The Calcutta archdiocese's formal investigation into Mother Teresa's life and virtues was completed last month and submitted to the Vatican. On Wednesday, Sister Nirmala, the nun's successor, said she had not heard anything from the Vatican about the process. "All of us are praying for an early sainthood of our mother," she told nuns and volunteers who gathered to offer morning prayer at Mother Teresa's tomb. "We feel her absence very much physically. But spiritually she is always with us and guiding us in our work."

KOLKATA, India (CNN) -- Senior church officials in Kolkata, previously called Calcutta, India, acknowledge Mother Teresa had an exorcism performed on her in the later years of life.

The exorcism took place in a hospital where she had gone for cardiac problems, said Archbishop of Calcutta Henry D'Souza. The archbishop himself had been hospitalized at the same facility and shared the same doctor as Mother Teresa. He said he noticed that while Mother Teresa was calm during the day, at night she appeared "extremely agitated." D'Souza said Mother Teresa would pull off wires and other monitoring equipment stuck to her body. He said that is when he believed Mother Teresa "might be under the attack of the evil one." He offered to arrange for an exorcism for the elderly nun. She agreed.

So I said let's do the prayer of exorcism over her. So I called one of the priests who was a holy man in Calcutta," D'Souza said. "I told him, 'Please say the prayer of exorcism over Mother Teresa.' And he got a shock and said, 'Shall I pray and should I drive out the devil if it's there?'"

"I said, 'Yes, you do.' But he says, 'What will the devil do to me?' I said to him, 'You command the devil to go if he's there. In the name of the church, as archbishop, I command you to go and do it.'

Did you notice that the Roman Catholic church does NOT expel demons Biblically? They do not expel the demon in the name of Jesus Christ. They try to do it in the NAME OF THE CHURCH and in the NAME OF THE ARCHBISHOP!

'Sacred Rome' Can't Be Exposed to U.N. Summit Risk, Italian Premier Says
The Associated Press Published: Aug 31, 2001
ROME (AP) - Italian officials, wary of another violent summit like the one in Genoa, said Friday they would play host to a coming U.N. food conference if no other country steps forward - but that it could not take place in Rome. ...We can't expose 'sacred Rome' to similar risks," Premier Silvio Berlusconi said after an Italian Cabinet meeting, Italian news agencies reported. "It is already a consolidated opinion among all the protagonists of foreign politics that these summits must not be held in an urban context," he said. Italy's European Affairs minister, Rocco Buttiglione, echoed the premier's sentiments. "If for some reason we were not able to shift the summit from Italy, we'll do it in Italy," Buttiglione said. "But not in Rome."

Sacred Rome? Besides the obvious, the Vatican should NOT be in this meeting. Is the Baptist church present? The Lutherans? Pentacostals? Fact is, prophecy MUST be fulfilled, therefore, Rome will be present.

Plus... is anyone noticing? Violent protests are usually a good sign that the people are NOT happy with what's up. However, prophecy WILL be fulfilled.

Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do...

1 Timothy 3:2, "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;"

Matthew 19:6, "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

It appears that whatever the Word of God says NOT to do, Rome appears to do the exact opposite! Not only do they ignore the Word in regards to Bishops being married (Bishop = pastor) But they also attack the one that got married and PUT ASUNDER that which the Lord had joined.

Water to Flow, Cooling Mexican Religious Dispute
August 23, 2001 1:07 am EST

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Roman Catholics and Protestant evangelicals in a tiny Mexican town reached a pact on Wednesday, settling a decades-old dispute that led the town to cut off the evangelicals' water, the federal government said.

The two religious groups in San Nicolas Ixmiquilpan, located in the central state of Hidalgo, about 90 miles from Mexico City, had been at loggerheads for decades over the payment of community dues. The conflict peaked in March, when the Catholic-dominated town government cut off water for the evangelicals and threatened to run them out of town for refusing to help pay for celebrations marking Catholic saints' days.

Now the water seems set to flow again. In exchange for the resumption of service, the evangelicals agreed to make community payments for nonreligious events and to drop lawsuits against the Catholics, the Interior Ministry said. The warring groups also vowed -- in the presence of Hidalgo Gov. Manuel Angel Nunez and other officials -- to respect each other's customs so long as they did not violate basic human rights, the ministry said.

After shutting off the water, the town had given the evangelicals a deadline of June 15 to pay community dues before being evicted, though the government said the deadline was later withdrawn.

FORCE! That's all Rome can do. They cannot use the Bible to prove their way true, they CUT OFF THE WATER of those families that refuse to bow to Catholic officials pressuring them into doing what they have BIBLE PROOF of as being evil. By the way, why is it this article doesn't report on the death threats? The homes that were burned? The familes that fled for their lives? And the cattle that were killed?

*BA'AL (IDOL) STAMP ISSUED BY PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

Pope urged to apologise for Vatican castrations

Rory Carroll in Rome Monday August 13 2001 The Guardian

Revelations that the Vatican encouraged the castration of choir boys in the name of art for hundreds of years have prompted calls for a papal apology. Human rights groups, historians and Italian commentators said the Pope, a singer himself, should ask forgiveness for his predecessors' role in the mutilation of castrati singers. New research suggests that the employment of castrati was tolerated by the Vatican as late as 1959, long after other states had banned it as barbaric. From the 16th century onwards generations of Italian boys were castrated in the hope that their voices, prevented from breaking, would combine a child's high register with the vocal power of a man. Their ability to sing beyond normal human limits enraptured opera-goers, emperors and popes, who commissioned a choir of castrati to perform in the Sistine chapel. An edict by St Paul prevented women singing in church. Successful castrati such as Farinelli - the subject of Gérard Corbiau's 1994 film - became Europe-wide superstars, feted by composers such as Handel, but most failed to make the grade and were cast aside, devastated and useless even as circus freaks. According to Angels Against their Will, a new book by the German historian Hubert Ortkemper, the castrato Alessandro Moreschi performed in the Sistine chapel until 1913. Other historians suspect that Domenico Mancini, another private pontifical singer who performed from 1939 to 1959, was a castrato, too.

Officially the Vatican always condemned the practice, which is thought to have started around 1500, and punished castrators with excommunication. In 1902 it issued a decree banning castrati from the Sistine chapel. But such was the beauty and power of their singing that successive popes sponsored the phenomenon by employing them on the pretext that they were accidentally castrated, for example by falling from a horse or by an animal bite. Italy's leading newspaper, Corriere della Sera, said the Pope, whose CD recordings have sold millions, should follow up his admission of church wrongs against Jews, Muslims and scientists by expressing sorrow for the castrati.

"Despite the willingness to address just about any issue, the current pope has yet to confront an unresolved problem of musical history. Why doesn't he suggest prayers and remorse for the church's past connivance with the practice of castrating males?" Human rights activists and academics endorsed the call. Amnesty International said the value of recognising past wrongs in an apology should not be underestimated. "Many of those afflicted by ongoing human rights abuses - including genital mutilations of women and rape as torture - desperately desire official recognition of the terrible wrongs done to them. An apology from those involved may be the hardest thing of all to achieve, and the most valued." Nicholas Davidson, an Oxford University expert on papal history, said: "If the Pope was going to be consistent, and if there was evidence that church officials operated in an improper way, then an apology should be made." The promise of a lucrative career persuaded many poor Italian parents to castrate sons with musical talent, despite the fact that the operation often produced gigantism and obese bottoms and legs.
No records were kept, but historians believe many operations to remove testicles - achieved by slitting the groin and severing the spermatic chord - were botched, leaving boys in agony and in danger of infection. The lucky ones survived and were good enough for years of intensive training and cossetting at musical academies. Pope Sisto V, aware that the public craved the "voice of angels", sanctioned their presence in the Vatican by a papal bull in 1589. Audiences fainted and wept during performances and groupies wore medallions of their favourites, but in the 18th century the practice was gradually acknowledged to be grotesque.

Antichrist Billboard Sparks Catholic Church Uproar

(AgapePress) - The nation’s largest Catholic civil rights organization is criticizing an Oregon advertising company which recently accepted a billboard proclaiming the Pope as the Antichrist.

Officials with the Catholic League say they’ve tried numerous times to contact the Oregon-based Outdoor Media Dimensions to post a rebuttal to a sign along Interstate 5 near Medford. The billboard sparking the controversy reads “The Pope is the Antichrist ... Free Proof” and offers a website for more information.

Louis Giovino of the Catholic League says concerned Catholics deserve equal time. “They’re claiming free speech. They’re saying free speech is the highest order here,” he says. “We’re shown here that it isn’t free speech because they won’t allow us to put up this billboard. So, they’re saying that it’s not just a matter of money that they’re putting up this billboard that says the Pope’s the Antichrist. So, they’re not entertaining this offer from us.”

The message is sponsored by Larry Weathers, a 50-year-old barber from Talent, Oregon, who says he will not take the sign down despite several threats on his life. Weathers is a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Remnant Ministries.

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – A billboard proclaiming the pope is the Antichrist has unleashed the wrath of the Catholic community, sparked a debate over First Amendment rights, and led to death threats against the man behind the message.

It's nice to see there are other children of God out there trying to warn the people. For more info on this, see my August 19, 2001 newsletter Notice the article that shares how the Catholic church generated a flurry of death threats towards the man setting up the billboard. Not to worry, he's keeping it up.

Vatican spokesman Rev. Peter Gumpel has accused Jewish historians on a special Holocaust commission of ``clearly incorrect behavior,'' charging that they have helped mount a ``slanderous campaign'' against the Catholic Church. Gumpel said several of the Jewish members of the commission had ``publicly spread the suspicion'' that the Holy See was trying to hide documents ``that in their judgment could be compromising.''

However, World War II era documents in possession of attorneys suing the Vatican Bank for laundering Nazi gold tell a different story. According to Jonathan Levy, co-counsel for plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit, Alperin v. Vatican Bank, plenty of evidence already exists to tarnish the reputations of both Pope Pius XII and his successor Paul VI. "I don’t understand the Vatican position," said Levy, "Army counterintelligence documents from 1945-1947 period document Nazi war criminals from the Balkans being sheltered at the Vatican. The then Vatican Secretary of State Montini, later Paul VI, met regularly with Ante Pavelic, known as the "Butcher of the Balkans."

The lawsuit against the Vatican Bank and Franciscan Order is based in part on a 1998 US State Department report that implicates the Vatican in the laundering of Nazi gold. The Vatican is widely believed to have destroyed incriminating documents. "Pius XII and Paul VI were in bed with the Nazis acting as their landlord, travel agent, and banker," said Levy, referring to the Vatican sheltering of Nazi war criminals in safe houses, Vatican provided escape routes or ratlines to South America, and use of the Vatican Bank to launder Nazi funds.

Levy says he will make available on his firm’s web site copies of the most damning documents including one authored by Special Agent William Gowen, one of the few remaining witnesses to Vatican complicity with former Nazis.

Pope on Target for Viewing Figures of 16 Million
July 31, 2001 9:57 am EST

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope John Paul's general audience at the Vatican on Wednesday will be the 1,000th of his historic papacy, bringing the number of people he has addressed publicly in 23 years to 16 million, the Vatican said on Tuesday. The millennial audience will be the 25th this year for the 81-year-old pontiff. The Pope will return from his summer residence to the Vatican for his weekly audience, as he does every Wednesday while at Castelgandolfo. In a papal factsheet not unlike football stadium attendance figures, the Vatican said 1983 was the year of greatest papal activity, with 49 general audiences. But the Pope was seen by the most people -- 1.585 million -- in 1979, more than during the much-celebrated Roman Catholic Jubilee last year, when he was seen by 1.463 million people.

The Pope, who regularly holds private audiences with world leaders or famous people, held the fewest number of public audiences in 1978, when in nine events he welcomed 200,000 faithful, but he was only elected in October that year. By Wednesday, the Pope will have seen 331,500 people during 25 audiences this year, at an average of 13,250 per audience, slightly below his 23-year average of 16,000 per appearance.

Mary Appeared in Rwanda, Bishop Says

VATICAN CITY, JULY 1, 2001 (Zenit.org).- The Virgin Mary's reported apparitions in Rwanda, said to have occurred from 1981 to 1983, received the first official recognition. Bishop Augustine Misago of the Diocese of Gikongoro confirmed their authenticity, as well as the good faith of the visionaries, during a Mass celebrated in the Cathedral of Gikongoro. The nuncio and all Rwanda's bishops attended the Mass. On Friday, the Holy See published an explanatory note written by the diocese.

1 Corinthians 15:20-23, "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming"

Why Mormon Baptism is invalid

VATICAN CITY, JULY 17, 2001 (Zenit.org).- Prompted by questions about Mormon practices, the Vatican recently confirmed that the sect´s baptism is invalid. Last month the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith noted the invalidity of the Mormons´ baptism given their misconception of the Trinity and, consequently, the identity of Christ.

Father Luis Ladaria, a theologian at the Pontifical Gregorian University, explained today in L´Osservatore Romano the Church´s view about Mormon baptism. "The baptism of the Catholic Church and that of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," the theologian said, "differ essentially as regards faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in whose name baptism is conferred and, at the same time, in regard to Christ, who instituted it."

Father Ladaria pointed out that even non-Catholics can administer baptism validly, as the minister of the sacrament is, in fact, Christ himself. But the baptizer must do so in the name of the Trinity and "with the intention of doing what the Church does," he added. Joseph Smith founded the Mormons in New York state in 1830. He was inspired to find the place were golden tablets were placed, which expressed the revelations of the prophet Mormon, written by him and his son Moroni. Mormonism is a "sacred history" rewritten in America, in which God revealed the "latter-day saints."

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith´s response is based on research requested by the U.S. bishops.

Father Ladaria said the formula used by the Mormons for baptism states that, "having received Christ´s mandate, I baptize you in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." But there is no real invocation of the Trinity, the theologian said, because, for the Mormons, the "Father," "Son" and "Holy Spirit" are not the three persons in which the one divinity subsists, but three gods who form a divinity. The term divinity itself has no "substantial" content, because, according to this Mormon concept, divinity has come into existence given that the three gods have decided to unite and form the divinity to bring about the salvation of man. This divinity and man share the same nature and are "substantially the same," according to Mormon belief.

Such divergence in doctrine implies, Father Landaria said, that the Mormon minister does not have the intention, when baptizing, of doing what the Catholic Church does when it confers baptism.

Romans 6:3-5, "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"

ARCHBISHOP MILINGO WARNED OF EXCOMMUNICATION

VATICAN, Jul 17, 01 (CWNews.com) -- The Vatican has issued a formal public warning to Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo that he will be excommunicated if he does not separate himself from the sect of Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

The notice from the Vatican is a response to Archbishop Milingo's participation in a mass wedding service held by the Moon sect in New York in May, at which the archbishop, who is 71, was joined to a 42-year-old Korean woman chosen for him by the sect's leader. The Vatican document explains the need to act "in order to protect the faithful from the serious harm caused by the recent behavior" of the renegade prelate.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued the public notice, which was signed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone-- the prefect and secretary, respectively, of that body. The statement notes that the Congregation is acting with the approval of Pope John Paul II.

Noting that Vatican officials have been unable to communicate directly with Archbishop Milingo, the public statement warns that he will be formally excommunicated if he does not "make amends for the scandal given." The notice sets a deadline of August 20, by which the African prelate must leave his wife and the Moon sect, and make a public statement of fidelity to the doctrines and disciplines of the Catholic Church.

Let me get this straight. If you murder Christians, you are NOT excommunicated from the church. If you molest young boys you are NOT excommunicated from the church. If you are a gay priest and you contract the AIDS virus you are NOT excommunicated from the church. If you die of AIDS after molesting little boys, you are NOT excommunicated from the church. If you as a priest are convicted and sent to prison for numerous reasons recorded in history you are NOT excommunicated from the church. But if you marry a woman and become the "husband of one wife" as 1 Timothy 3:2 says a bishop (pastor) of a church must be, then you ARE excommunicated from the church of Rome? PLUS, the church of Rome is telling the man to LEAVE HIS WIFE in direct denial of that which is written concerning the issue of divorce?

Radio Announcer Who Criticized Catholic Station in Costa Rica Killed in Ambush The Associated Press Published: Jul 8, 2001

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) - A popular radio host known for his caustic humor and unflinching criticism of public officials was shot and killed outside his house just days after he complained of receiving threats. Parmenio Medina Perez was shot three times at close range Saturday about 300 feet from his home in Heredia, six miles outside the capital, the Costa Rican attorney general's office said. No suspects had been detained, but authorities said they would base their initial investigation on a complaint Medina filed with them that he was being threatened. Medina, a native of Colombia, had lived in Costa Rica for many years and was known for his sports show, "The Kick," which later became a critical forum. One of Medina's most recent targets was "Radio Maria," run by priest Minor de Jesus Calvo. Medina accused the station of financial irregularities, and it was later taken off the air. In the wake of his public criticism of the station, Medina received numerous threats, including in May, when unknown assailants opened fire at his house in a drive-by shooting. Medina was not hurt in that attack and there was no clear indication of who was responsible. President Miguel Angel Rodriguez condemned Medina's slaying as an "incident of intolerance directed against a critical journalist," said his spokesman, Danilo Chaverri, who promised the government's full cooperation in solving the crime. Medina's slaying also provoked shock and indignation among fellow journalists, who waged a protest march Sunday in front of his radio station. Coincidentally, the InterAmerican Press Association held a forum in Costa Rica last week where participants agreed that the country still has inadequate guarantees of press freedom. Also last week, El Diario newspaper published a poll in which a majority of journalists surveyed said they had been intimidated or threatened in the course of their work. AP-ES-07-08-01 2311EDT

*Bush pursues Catholic support
By Scott Lindlaw Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- It was more than a social call: Five days after taking office, President Bush paid a visit to Washington Archbishop Theodore E. Mc Carrick, foreshadowing what has become a meticulous outreach to the nation's Roman Catholics -- a bloc he sees as vital if he is to have a prayer of re-election. Bush, a Methodist, is lavishing attention on Catholic leaders and their flocks. He and Democrat Al Gore split the Catholic vote last year -- a big gain for the Republican side after Bill Clinton captured the Catholic vote by a 16-point margin in 1996 and a 9-point gap in 1992, according to exit polling by the Voter News Service. Advisers say they believe Catholics, about one-quarter of the November electorate, are particularly receptive to Bush's initiative to bring religious groups into government-funded charity efforts. "their core values fit with his agenda," White House spokesman Tucker Eskew said. "...defense of the family, defense of life. Those issues all ring true with this president's character and that faith's values."Today, Catholics wield special clout in the White House.

Catholic voters in 2000:

* Made up a fourth of the electorate.
* Split the vote between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George Bush, 49 percent to 47 percent.
* Identified themselves as 40 percent Democrat, 35 percent Republican, 22 percent independent.
* Generally identified themselves as moderate, with 27 percent conservative and 20 percent liberal. By comparison, 37 percent of Protestants said they are conservative.
* Were no more opposed to abortion than Protestants. Just over half of Catholic voters, 55 percent, said abortion should be always or mostly legal, compared with half of Protestants who felt that way.

Now do you understand the cleverness of Satan? Preach BIRTH CONTROL!! That way MANY "Catholics" are born. This has been their agenda all along. Now we see it coming to pass. The Mark of the Beast needs to be enforced. And the only way it can be done is to get Government officials scurrying to do the bidding of the Church of Rome TO GAIN VOTES! Watch the topics of legislation in the near future. In fact, look at the recent past as well. Clinton was already aware of the POWER OF CATHOLIC VOTES was he not? As was Ronald Reagon. Now that the church of Rome has over 50% of Congress, and over 50% of the Senate in its court, getting the President to do it's bidding has become child's play. Think about it. Power crazed Government officials will gladly sell us all down the river and do all Rome asks to ensure their silk lined pockets remain packed to the gills with OUR tax dollars. If votes keep them rich, then votes is all they care about. No matter WHO is voting and for what reason!

A Papal Paycheck? Yes. Well, Maybe

July 7, 2001 11:11 am EST
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - He's the most famous chief executive officer in the world but how much does Pope John Paul make? No-one seems to know what his salary is and if they do, they're not saying. The subject of a papal paycheck came up at a news conference Friday at which the Vatican said it had registered a surplus for the eighth straight year in 2000. When a reporter asked if the pope gets a salary, Cardinal Sergio Sebastiani, president of the Vatican's economic prefecture, replied: "I think so, why shouldn't he? It's normal. The Italian president gets a salary, why shouldn't the pope? But I don't know anything about it, how big it is or how it's decided." Vatican sources say the pope gives away nearly all the funds at his disposal to charities, churches and relief organizations. He is not believed to have handled cash to buy anything for the past 23 years. He was elected in 1978 to become not only leader of the Roman Catholic Church but also the monarch of Vatican City. At the news conference Sebastiani said the Vatican had registered a surplus of $8.5 million in 2000, its eighth straight year in the black.

He lives in a 1600 room mansion for life. His meals are cooked by the finest chef's in Italy for life. He has all his clothing tailor made for life. He has all his bills paid for life. Anything he wants to purchase is given to him free of charge by countless business men the world over for life. His hair is cut, nails manicured, back rubbed, pillows fluffed, etc etc etc for his entire life. And now he wants a salary? For what?

Catholic Parishioners Go Door-to-Door to Win Back Latinos

Some 200 Catholic Latinos from local parishes recently fanned out in heavily Latino neighborhoods of Northwest Washington, D.C., in an evangelization effort sponsored by the Archdiocese of Washington. They handed out posters and fliers inviting people to the Catholic Festival of Faith, an all-day event of music, speeches and films about the church. "It's very unusual that a Catholic goes door-to-door, talking of Jesus Christ and how much He loves us all," says Merecedes Montano, who participated in the effort. Unusual it used to be. Concern about the loss of traditionally Catholic Latinos to Protestant evangelical churches has prompted more Catholics to respond in kind. This is the second year of the evangelism drive started by Martha Fernandez-Sardina, director of the archdiocese's Office for Evangelization. Pope John Paul II has publicly complained about the proselytism of the Protestant churches, and in March he urged Latin American bishops to develop a better pastoral response to it. Part of the local church response has been to reach out more aggressively to Latinos in the Washington diocese, where 170,000 of the 510,000 Catholics are of Hispanic descent. -Washington Post (http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/metro/religion/A38189-2001Jun23.html

A QUOTE FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR

“This war would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits. We owe it to Popery that we now see our land reddened with the blood of her noblest sons. Though there were great differences of opinion between the South and North, on the question of slavery, neither Jeff Davis nor any one of the leading men of the Confederacy would have dared to attack the North, had they not relied on the promise of the Jesuits, that, under the mask of Democracy, the money and the arms of the Roman Catholics, even the arms of France, were at their disposal if they would attack us.” Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, The Wickliffe Press, Protestant Truth Society, Wickliffe Avenue, 104 Hendon Lane, Finchley, London, N3., 1885, p. 388.

City Grants Pope Bus Pass And Apartment
June 22, 2001 8:57 am EST

KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) - Popemobile broken down? Vatican apartments not up to scratch? Pope John Paul II need not worry during his visit to Lviv in western Ukraine next week -- the town fathers Thursday bestowed the freedom of the city on the pontiff. That grants the 81-year-old head of the Roman Catholic Church the right to a rent-free apartment, free use of all public transport and, should the unthinkable happen, a plot in Lviv's historic Lychakovsky cemetery. "Only six people have this right and we are happy that Pope John Paul II is among them," said senior town council official Igor Mykytyn. The pope begins a five-day visit to Ukraine Saturday, spending three days in the capital Kiev before flying to the picturesque city of Lviv, a major Catholic center. More than 2 million people are expected to flock to masses in both cities.

Croatian Nazi Party Faces Its Final Battle in a United States Courtroom

The Croatian Liberation Movement or Hrvatski Oslobodilacki Pokret (HOP) is the direct successor to the Ustashe movement, which slaughtered over 500,000 Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies during WWII in Yugoslavia. Founded in 1956 in Buenos Aires, Argentina by the Butcher of the Balkans, the Ustashe leader Ante Pavelic, perhaps the greatest mass murderer to ever go unpunished, the Croatian Liberation Movement flourished in South America, Australia, and North America until 1993 when it largely relocated to Croatia.

In 1999, survivors of World War II atrocities in Croatia and Bosnia filed a class action lawsuit against the Croatian Liberation Movement in Federal Court in San Francisco. The survivors sought the return of wartime plunder used by the Croatian Liberation Movement to fund its post war activities. While the combative Croatian Liberation Movement publicly stated in 1999, "Antifascism is a lasting, reliable and merciless enemy of Croat freedom and separate identity! Because of that, let us kill off antifascism, and exterminate "victims of fascism" wherever they may be! That will resolve all our problems." They did not respond to the lawsuit, despite service of process being completed three times on the organization in Zagreb.

In March 2001, the Clerk of the Federal Court entered a default against the Croatian Liberation Movement and the matter is now before Judge Maxine Chesney to decide the fate of the HOP. Attorney Jonathan Levy who represents Serb, Jewish, and Ukrainian plaintiffs in the lawsuit hopes that the verdict will put the Croatian Liberation Movement out of business once and for all. Levy said, "The Croatian Liberation Movement is the last functioning Nazi Party from Hitler’s time, it is still active in Croatian politics spreading it hatred of Serbs and Jews, in 1999 it called for the death of the few survivors of its reign of terror, a swift multimillion dollar verdict from the court will allow us to shut them down once and for all."

According to the Zagreb Jewish community two Catholic churches (in Zagreb and Split) continue to be used to propagate Pavelic's ideology and his Ustashe movement. 'It has become common practice to hold services for Pavelic when followers of his political ideas get together.' The class action lawsuit goes even further and implicates the Franciscan Order and the Marian shrine at Medjugorje as two other sources of the Ustashe revival.

A ruling from the court is expected this summer.

Vatican ordains American Indians

Fri Jun 22, 2001 -- Three American Indians have been ordained as Catholic clergy. The ordination of the three Tohono O'odham tribal members is apparently the result of the blending of O'odham spirituality with Roman Catholic doctrines. Diocese of Tucson, Arizona, spokesman Fred Allison says, "Enculturation is the phrase the church uses, and refers to bringing into spiritual rituals of the church the actions and traditions of culture."

The Arizona Daily Star reports tribal members leading the services often use spiritual rites from their own culture, including the burning of creosote for purification and O'odham healing circles. One of the new deacons uses O'odham dancers and singers in his services, and urges families with the newborns to not only baptize them into the Catholic faith, but to also hold a separate O'odham "clay ceremony." And ironically, O'odham spiritual men are now using holy water, rosaries, and saints in their healing ceremonies.

The Daily Star reports the shift on the reservation from non-tribal priests and nuns to the American Indians is due to the Roman Catholic Church's increased acceptance of native spirituality and a priest and nun shortage for the past decade.

How many times is this church going to infect religions? It seems to be attracted to all sorts of decadence. In fact, the more the religion shuns TRUTH the more attractive it is to the Vatican, hence, PAGANISM MELDING WITH CHRISTIANITY. In one word... Catholicism.

Pope: Medicine, morality clashing

6/19/01

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Medical ethics are increasingly clashing with Roman Catholic morality, Pope John Paul II said Monday as he urged respect for doctors who object to procedures or treatment for religious reasons. "Until quite recently, medical ethics in general and Catholic morality were rarely in disagreement," the pontiff told a group of Catholic gynecologists and obstetricians. "Without problems of conscience, Catholic doctors could generally offer patients all that medical science afforded." "But this has now changed profoundly," the pope said. He cited a number of scientific developments that concern the church, including drugs that cause abortion or prevent conception, in vitro fertilization, the use of embryonic stem cells in transplants, and cloning projects.

It appears a one world church... One world court... One world bank... One world Government isn't enough for the Pope. He wants a one world hospital as well? Actually it makes sense. What better way to enforce the Mark of the Beast? All one needs to do is dangle life saving remedies in the face of dying patients or their loved ones to get the "Global Sunday Law" accepted by all.

John 16:1-4, "These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you."

So I ask. With all this apologizing, is anyone noticing that TO ADMIT the Roman Catholic church has killed thinking they were doing God's will is an open fulfillment of a prophetic fact Jesus Himself spoke of? They do this BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW JESUS OR HIS FATHER. Therefore, Catholicism is easily proven NOT of Christ. However, if you don't believe the Word of the Lord Jesus, then "excuses" are at this moment fabricating in your head so as to defend Rome. I pray your eyes see this reality.

When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest! -Author unkno

WASHINGTON, June 9/PR Newswire/ -- More than 1,000 Polish-Americans from throughout the country, along with international dignitaries, honored Pope John Paul II with an unveiling of a statue in front of the new cultural center that bears the Pope's name. The unique bronze statue, donated by the bishops of Poland, depicts the Pope with a meditative expression on his face and outstretched arms that welcome visitors to the Cultural Center.

According to Archbishop Jozef Zycinski of Lublin, who commissioned the statue on behalf of the bishops of Poland, the artist, Maciej Zychowicz, departed from a standard presentation of the Pope. Aychowicz expresses the Pope's warmth through his inviting arms and facial gesture. he shows the intensity with which the Pope carries the burdens of our civilization by the position of his shoulders. The statue's mouth opens to a subtle smile, indicating a sense of friendliness to all who approach.

Participating in the liturgical celebration were adults and children in traditional Polish costumes, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, folk groups, veterans' groups, and many Polish-American organizations from around the nation carrying banners. A brass band and a choir performed in honor of Pope John Paul II at the festivities.

Sounds like IT'S ALIVE? Sounds like they are about to worship this statue? For more info on IDOL WORSHIP click here.

Agape Press) - Local authorities in three small towns in different Mexican states are telling evangelical Christians to change their religion to traditional Catholicism or suffer severe consequences. Evangelical Christians who do not renounce their faith are being threatened with jail time, expulsion, the removal of public services such as water and drainage, and even death. In one case, two recent converts were jailed for 36 hours and asked to deny their new evangelical Christian faith. Terry Madison is president of Open Doors, a ministry which tracks the persecution of Christians. He says this is not a new problem. "This has been an ongoing challenge in Chiapas, where when people accept the Lord they choose not to participate in some of the local Catholic celebrations, many of which involve 'posh' which is a locally fermented drink," Madison says. "They choose not to participate, which means they're not buying the candles and the costumes and the fireworks, and some of the other products that some of the local authorities profit by, so there's an economic loss."

Madison says things are particularly bad for evangelical Christians in the state of Chipas. "A particular community had 230 evangelicals. We're talking about a large body of Christ," he says. "Another had forty Christian church members who were challenged to renounce their evangelical faith and return to Catholicism or they would face having their homes burned and their animals destroyed." In another example of intolerance, The Alabama Baptist newspaper reports Catholic leaders in San Nicholas, Mexico, a town of some 4,000 people, are telling 36 evangelical families they must leave town within 90 days "or be kicked out." The paper says the families' water and sewer services have been cut off. A San Nicholas spokesman is quoted as saying, "What the town wants is for the evangelicals to stop spreading their religion to more people and to stop having their meeting." Patrick Scully, a spokesman for the Catholic League, said he couldn't comment on the story because he was not aware of the details and also since the persecution is taking place outside the United States.

By Victoria Combe, Religion Correspondent

THE growing number of homosexual men training for the Roman Catholic priesthood is creating "divisive cliques" of gay and straight students, the rector of a leading English seminary says. Fr Kevin Haggerty, rector of St John's seminary in Wonersh, Surrey, says: "It would seem to me that sub-cultures are a danger. They are inappropriate for the priesthood and contrary to the onenness required for a priest." Fr Haggerty raises the issue in a Channel 4 documentary, Queer and Catholic, to be broadcast next Saturday. The presenter, Mark Dowd, a former Dominican friar who is gay, claims that the priesthood is becoming a "gay profession" like hairdressing.

Speaking to The Telegraph yesterday, Fr Haggerty said: "I don't think we can avoid the issue any more. A lot of people's gut reactions to this issue are not rational. They immediately think of the risk of the abuse of children. The problem for the Church is one of perception. Homosexuality is not a problem in itself; the important point is the sexualmaturity of the priests." He said the Church had introduced psychological assessments for all candidates in which they were asked about their sexuality. "What we want to find out is whether they are able to make free, moral decisions about their lifestyle." The programme claims that there are many practising homosexuals in seminaries who conceal their sexuality. It includes interviews with ex-students of the English College in Rome, where the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, was rector in the 1970s. Chris Higgins and Dr. Dennis Caulfield, who were seminarians there between 1996 and 1999, claim that students were reprimanded for calling each other by girls' names. Mr Higgins, now a probation officer, was ordained a priest despite his relationship with Dr Caulfield, who had left the seminary to become a doctor.

Mr Dowd, 41, was a friar at Blackfriars in Oxford from 1981 to 1983 when Fr Timothy Radcliffe, now Master of the Dominicans, was prior. He left after falling in love with an ex-friar who visited the priory for supper. Dowd says: "It was love at first sight across the refectory table." The Catholic Media Office questioned whether the programme was helpful, adding: "It was an issue which seminary rectors are talking about."

Milingo Is No Longer Considered a Bishop
Vatican Expresses "Sorrow" After Marriage by Rev. Moon

VATICAN CITY, MAY 28, 2001 (Zenit.org).- A Zambian archbishop who married an acupuncturist in a group wedding conducted by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon can no longer be considered a bishop, the Vatican said today. - ZE01052806

Catholic theology is such that if you are a bishop in the Catholic church and you marry a woman, you are then no longer considered a bishop. However, if you are a bishop, cardinal, or a priest in the Catholic church and you molest a little boy, are convicted, and sentenced to prison, you then remain a Catholic bishop, cardinal, or a priest till death. The TRUE agenda of Rome is becoming apparent. It is beginning to make sense as to why there are so many articles and statements of priests looking to "come out" and admit the priesthood of Rome is a gay organization. This article says it plainly. Marry a woman and you are banned! Molest a boy and you are exalted! See my "RCC & SEX" page for further info on this fact.

Women Cardinals May Be In The Vatican's Future
Episcopal News Service Mon., May, 21, 2001 (ENI)

A retired Italian bishop and several Roman Catholic theologians have suggested that the Vatican include women in the College of Cardinals. The College's main duty is to elect the pope, and all 183 cardinals are ordained men, most of them bishops. "The current formula for electing a pope is out-of-date," said Guiseppe Casale, a former bishop. "It is indeed possible to imagine lay cardinals both men and women, participating in the process of choosing the Bishop of Rome (the Pope)." Severino Dianich, president of the Italian Theological Association, said the sacrament of ordination includes bishops, priests and deacons, but the job of cardinal had been created by the church, and was therefore open to modification.

It is a sad thing to see. Pray for those Catholic children in this church. Their church is not satisfied with twisting 90% of Bible doctrine, and inventing 80% of their own Catholic dogma not found in the Word. They want to twist 100% so as to be perfectly against the TRUTH in Scripture. Notice this? It is admitted openly that "the job of cardinal had been created by the church, and was therefore open to modification." Fact is over 80% of the Catholic faith is indeed "INVENTED" by the church, and therefore "OPEN TO MODIFICATION." History proves it, search it out for yourself. One Pope will enact one doctrine, another will de-activate it, and yet another will re-write it. And this is all coming from INFALLIBLE Popes? Who's the fallible one and who's the infallible one? Was it the first pope who enacted the doctrine of Rome? The second one that deactivated it? Or was it the one that reinstituted it? CoNfUsEd? Not I. For I have the Word of God.

Bush´s Birthday Greeting to John Paul II

WASHINGTON, D.C., MAY 21, 2001 (Zenit.org).- The White House today released this text of President George W. Bush's birthday greeting to John Paul II, who turned 81 last Friday.

*WORLD PEACE! CHRIST HAS RETURNED!

Claims Catholic scholars in a nation wide newspaper. This is the only true explanation for the walls between east and west Germany falling. The rise of democracy in the USSR. The celebrated decline on apartheid. Peace in South America. Nuclear disarmament, and etc... The Pope is simply waiting for the right time to make the announcement to the World that Christ has returned to bring peace. -Lighthouse ministries. (Read from a National Newspaper by Dr Dwight Eric Haynes during a seminar entitled, Proleptic Perspective of the Sanctuary Tape #1)

However.. as it is written... 1 Thessalonians 5:3, "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

BIDS FOR POPE'S BOOK

By Keith J. Kelly NYPOST.COM May 16, 2001--Media Ink Business News May 16, 2001 -- Media Ink

POPE John Paul II, holder of the record for a non-fiction book advance, is said to be back in the market with a new eight-volume book of prayers - and a companion CD with praying celebrities. Celebrities who are said to have agreed to be on the companion prayer and musical CD include "Lethal Weapon" actor Danny Glover, boy band *NSYNC, Jennifer Love Hewitt, James Earl Jones and Faith Hill. The proposal, apparently authorized by the Vatican, has been making the rounds for a few days to more than a dozen publishers and is expected to go to auction early next week. In these uncertain economic times, prayer books seem to be enjoying a resurgence. "The Prayer of Jabez" is No. 1 on the NYT advice list. Eight papal prayer books and homilies have appeared in nine years and were sold only at shops in the Vatican City. The books carry titles such as "Invitation to Prayer," "Mountain Climbers of the Spirit," "With You,I am a Priest," " The Mission," "Gospel of the Suffering," "A Vocation of Love" and "The Rosary Hour." Rock promoter Rick Garson of Compulsion Entertainment is handling the U.S. sale in conjunction with literary agent David Vigliano. "He was selected by Rogate, the religious publishing arm of the Vatican," Vigliano told The Post. The Pope's last book, a memoir called "Crossing the Threshold of Hope," was sold to Alfred A. Knopf for nearly $9 million and spent 17 weeks on bestseller lists in the U.S. after it hit in October 1994. It went on to sell more than 20 million copies worldwide. But, despite the success, the Pope is not sticking with superagent Mort Janklow, who brought his memoir to the American market last time around.

Acts 16:16-18, "And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour."

Just as this damsel mocked the Lord, so does this Pope and EVERY Pope before him!

Nuns Are the Presence of God´s Tenderness, Pope Says
Message to International Union of Superiors General

VATICAN CITY, MAY 14, 2001 (Zenit.org).- The life of nuns must be God's caress for all people of our time, John Paul II said in a message to the International Union of Superiors General of religious congregations. ... "In this world lacerated by so many contradictions, in your identity as 'women,' you propose to be the living presence of the tenderness and mercy of God," the Pope said ZE01051408

Romans 1:20-25, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

Priest Calls Holy Spirit... "she"

Why "she?" Investigate the goddess of Babylon and you will see the "Queen of Heaven" spoken of in Jeremiah 7:18 is the very same goddess worshipped in the Roman Catholic church today. For proof ALL Babylonian rituals are now practiced in the Catholic church, see this... "Whore of babylon Revealed"

Catholic-Muslim Statement Calls for Mid-East Peace
March 14, 2001

A joint Catholic-Muslim committee has produced a new statement decrying the continuing violence in the Middle East and calling for cooperation among all believers in pursuit of peace. The statement pronounces the committee's "horror at the increased loss of life, the bodily harm, the damage to property" in the Middle East. The text specifically remarks that the violence has been most pronounced "in the unjustly occupied territories" of the Palestinian West Bank. The signers voice their hope that "peace based on justice and international legitimacy may prevail, thus bringing an end to those sufferings." The joint committee of monotheistic religions met at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, late in February, to approve the draft statement. The document was signed for the Vatican by Cardinal Francis Arinze and Bishop Michael Fitzgerald - the president and secretary, respectively, of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue. The Catholic and Muslim signers pledge their support for free access to the holy places of Jerusalem, and their desire for international guarantees of that free access. The document also calls for a "peaceful solution" to the conflict between Christians and Muslims in Nazareth, where the construction of a large mosque adjacent to the Basilica of the Assumption has provoked religious clashed in recent months. -(EWTN News, CWNews, Rome, Italy.) (http://www.ewtn.com/vnews).

Catholic-Muslim statement? It appears the Pope has taken sides. Can we put two and two together? The Pope holds a MASS in Jerusalem, he leaves, war breaks out, he then meets with Arafat, now this? Prophecy is so accurate!

The Pope will visit the tomb of John the Baptist at the Ummayad Mosque in Damascus
Syria-Vatican, Politics, 3/7/2001

The secretary of the Patriarchy of the Catholic- Greek Church Ezedour Bateikha on Monday said that John Paul II will visit, during his visit to Damascus the tomb of Saint John the Baptist inside the mosque, and therefore he will be the first Pope to enter a mosque. Bateikha who is the chairman of the preparatory committee for the papal visit to Syria said in a statement to AFP that the visit of Pope John Paul II to the Umayyad's mosque will be an occasion for an un-preceded incident which will be manifested in establishing a joint Islamic- and Christian prayer organized for this purpose. He added that Pope John Paul will be the first Pope to visit the tomb of John Paul inside the Umyyad's mosque on May 6 on the wake of his arrival in Syria. He added that this is the first time in which Muslims and Christians pray together in an organized way as the Pope will preside over the prayer on the Christian side while the Republic's mufti in Syria Sheikh Ahmad Kiftaro will president the Muslim side.

Pope to pray in Mosque
Monday, 5 March, 2001

BBC NEWS

John Paul II is to become the first leader of the Catholic Church to set foot in a mosque when he visits Syria in May, a church official said on Monday. The Pope is hoping that by entering the Umayyed mosque in Damascus - the site of the tomb of John the Baptist - he will underline his attempts to bring Christianity and Islam closer together. Officials organising the Pope's itinerary, said it would be the first time that Christians and Muslims would pray together in an organised way. The Pope, 80, would lead the Christian side of the prayer and Syria's mufti, Sheikh Ahmed Kataro, the Muslim side.

FOOTSTEPS OF PAUL

In 1986, Pope John Paul was the first Pontiff to enter a synagogue after he visited one in Rome. The mosque visit is scheduled for 6 May in the middle of the pope's three-day pilgrimage to the Holy Lands, which has already taken him to Egypt, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories. Besides Syria, Pope John Paul wants to visit Greece and Malta to follow in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, who was known as Saul of Tarsus before he was converted on the road to Damascus. The mosque, known as the Great Mosque of Damascus and one of Islam's most celebrated shrines was once the site of an Aramaic temple. Then, in the first century AD, a Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter was built on the site, before being converted into a church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. Saint John is also venerated by Muslims as the prophet Yahya.

Christian - Muslim prayer? This will not be heard by the Lord. for it is written... 1 Corinthians 10:21, "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." And I would like to clarify the statement made by Rome. They say it's a "Christian" Muslim prayer. Fact is, it's a CATHOLIC - Muslim prayer, not a Christian - Muslim prayer. True Christians would never mix the Truth of the Lord with the lies of hell. In fact, this is how Catholicism got started. They mixed Paganism with Christianity.

Cardinal Turns Heads at Bar Sermon
By CHRISTOPHER NEWTON Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cigarette smoke spilled into the air and hung above the crowded bar, mingling with language that was less than holy. It was Happy Hour at Lulu's, where Washington loosens its tie and tries to put a bit of positive spin on the day's events. Beer mug in hand, secretary Sheila Johnson was just beginning to sink into the mood.Then she turned around and saw the silver-haired man in black, with the cleric's collar: His Eminence, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. She wasn't the only one to do a quick double-take."You have to go where the people are," McCarrick, who is 70, said over the blare of pop music and bar chatter. "Many of these people are probably saints. If I were holier, I might be able to tell you which."... The sermon was riddled with jokes and a few unexpected personal revelations. ...."Catholics don't have this whole aversion to alcohol," said Monica Miller, 27, a graduate student at Georgetown University. "So it is natural for people to meet over a few drinks and talk about God." -03/14/2001 03:07 APO

This reminds me of a young Christian I met some years back. He wanted to go to a Pot party so he could share Jesus with his friends. It was revealed to him that he really wanted to go so he could be near the lifestyle he craved. I know of people close to me that said they too could walk into a bar and share Jesus with drunkards while intoxicated. However, reality is... they walked in... and STAYED.

Common knowledge is, the Catholic hierarchy sees nothing wrong with drinking alcohol. Actions speaks louder than words. This Cardinal IS IN A BAR is he not? That proclaims loudly he condones this activity. Regardless of the message of his sermon, whether it be asking them to cut down on the booze or not, he is NOT telling them to stop altogether is he? In fact he is in essence CONDONING it, the Cardinal said... ""Many of these people are probably saints. If I were holier, I might be able to tell you which." Many of these people are saints? He is in a bar, EVERYONE is drinking, and this Cardinal declares that MANY of them are saints? Biblical fact is, some may be "children of God" which some day soon will hear the three angels message and truly become saints AFTER leaving the Roman church. But as of right now, is it not written that, drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God." in 1 Corinthians 6:10? Did you also notice this Catholic's admission of embracing sin as the norm? She said, "Catholics don't have this whole aversion to alcohol," said Monica Miller, 27, a graduate student at Georgetown University. "So it is natural for people to meet over a few drinks and talk about God." It's natural to speak of the Lord while in a drunken state? Yes it is natural, to the "natural man" that is, for it is written... 1 Corinthians 2:14, "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

Queen´s Vatican Trip Blamed for Disasters

LONDON, MAR. 12, 2001 (Zenit.org).- Foot-and-mouth disease hasn't done much to lift a Scottish denomination's ecumenical spirit. The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland says the recent cases of foot-and-mouth disease, floods and train crashes are the result of the Queen Elizabeth's visit to the Vatican last October, according to The Times newspaper. The church, popularly known as the "Wee Wee Frees," has pointed an accusing finger at the monarch for traveling to the Vatican and meeting the Pope. Since then, the Scottish church notes, Britain has suffered a variety of Old Testament-style punishments. A national day of humiliation and prayer should be called by the Queen to end the plague, it adds. "Since Your Majesty's visit to the Vatican, our nation has passed through difficult times and, for our part, we cannot but see the hand of God, for instance, in the floods that have caused so much distress in the areas affected, in the train crashes and the lives lost as a result of them and, not least, the present epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease with so many animals slaughtered." The letter is written by John MacLeod, clerk to the Outer Isles Presbytery in Stornoway. The pastor has sent a similar rebuke to Henry MacLeish, the First Minister, about his meeting with the Pope at the Vatican in December. MacLeish was reminded that the Scottish Parliament in 1649 ratified the Westminster Confession of Faith identifying the pope as "that Antichrist." Buckingham Palace responded: "The Queen's meeting with the Pope has been extremely well received with much positive comment from a wide range of opinion. However, the Queen listens carefully to all approaches made by individuals and groups and, if appropriate, would forward views on to Government for consideration." ZE01031221

QUEEN, POPE BLAMED FOR FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE

LONDON, (CWNews.com) - Britain is being plagued by foot-and-mouth disease, floods, and train crashes because Queen Elizabeth has been consorting with Catholics, according to the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, which has alerted Buckingham Palace to her role in the catastrophes. The church, popularly known as the "Wee Wee Frees," claims Britain has suffered a series of Old Testament-style plagues and curses since October when the Queen traveled to the Vatican and met Pope John Paul II. -13-Mar-2001 -- EWTN News Brief

Papal visits to blame for disasters, say Wee Frees

THE Queen and the First Minister have been singled out as the root cause of the recent floods, train crashes and the foot-and-mouth epidemic. At least that is in the view of one presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland which believes the disasters were divine retribution for last year's meetings by the monarch and Henry McLeish with the Pope at the Vatican. -Iain Maciver Monday, 12 March 2001 -The Scotsman

It IS written... Revelation 18:4, "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." Do some research and see how many WARS started AFTER a Pope had a meeting with someone. Most recent fact is Israel. The Pope says a Mass in Jerusalem with a HUGE upside cross on his throne (pics below) And then we see the unrest in Israel explodes directly after he leaves!

POPE PLACES CROSS ON NORTH POLE

VATICAN CITY, March 20 (AFP) - A cross which was blessed by Pope John Paul II on Tuesday will be erected at the North Pole in mid-April when an Italian expedition reaches it, the Vatican said. The expedition hopes to arrive at the North Pole, where temperatures mark an average minus 40 degrees Celsius (Fahrenheit), on Easter Sunday, which this year falls on April 15. Liberio Andreatta, head of the Vatican's pilgrimage office, will plant the cross in the ice and celebrate mass in memory of Prince Luigi Amedeo, a member of Italy's royal Savoy family, who organized an expedition to the North Pole just over 100 years ago. John Paul II said the expedition, which sets off on April 1, is to take the Christian symbol "to the earth's extreme boundaries". Andreatta has prepared for the journey by taking part in survival training in the Italian Alps.

Christian symbol? Fact is folks, the "cross" is the symbol for Baal the SUN god. That's why Jesus hung on a cross. He was offered up for our sins of course, but the Romans placed Him on a cross as an offering unto their SUN god as well. One question, if Jesus were to die in our day on an electric chair. Would Christians 2000 years from now be wearing electric chairs around their necks? And now we see the Pope desecrating as well as dedicating the world to the SUN god Baal by placing the Roman cross on the top of the World. Not to mention the fact it is done on the Pagan festival of Spring, which is also known as Easter. By the way, do you realize Easter falls on a different date each year. That's because it has to do with the first full moon of Spring and NOT the death and resurrection of Christ. The Easter bunnies = the pagan symbol of sex, and the egg = the Pagan symbol of fertility. And the "sun rise" service is a worship of the SUN rising, not the SON rising! For more info on Babylonian / Pagan worship mixing with Christianity in your church. See this... http://www.remnantofgod.org/666-CHAR.htm#pagan

RENT A PRIEST?

So... is it any wonder there are over 3000 denominations that have spun from the Roman Chaotic Church? Scriptures do declare her to be the "mother of harlots" does it not? It's just a BAAL OF CONFUSION folks! And the constant jumps from the left to right are the evidence against the leaders in Rome. Pray for the Catholic children!

Vatican accused on modern 'inquisition'

Friday, 30 March, 2001, 17:25 GMT 18:25 UK
Vatican rules: defending orthodoxy at all costs?

The Vatican department responsible for maintaining orthodoxy in the Catholic Church is coming under attack over its "inquisitional" methods. The church should safeguard its faith, but not by means unworthy of that faith In a strongly-worded editorial, a leading US Catholic magazine America says the methods used by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith are out of date and do not respect human rights. The magazine notes that "a long list of eminent Catholic theologians" have been harassed, including the Brazilian exponent of liberation theology, Leonardo Boff. The magazine calls on the Vatican to "dismantle without delay" the procedures it uses to investigate theologians. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was once known as the Holy Inquisition. It is headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, one of Pope John Paul II's closest advisers. He is known as "the Pope's enforcer"

How many times must the outright evils of this church be publicised before Catholics the World over leave this synagogue of Satan? Prophetic fact is, some will leave as Revelation 18:1-4 declares rather boldly. Sad thing is, most within these walls won't leave. They will gladly receive the "Mark of authority" that their Pope declares signifies their loyalty and Scriptures declare signifies the mark of the beast!

Exhumed body of Pope John XXIII 'uncorrupted' 38 years after death

A leading cardinal present when the coffin of Pope John XXIII was opened after 38 years said yesterday the pontiff looked as if he had "died yesterday". "None of the body had decomposed," said Cardinal Virgilio Noe, the high priest of St Peter's Basilica, who oversaw the opening of the coffin ready for moving the tomb to a space more accessible to pilgrims. -Philip Pullella In Vatican City Wednesday, 28 March 2001 -The Scotsman

The discovery does not imply a miracle. Vincenzo Pascali, professor of legal medicine at the Catholic University of Rome, explained that the process of injecting formaldehyde, to which John XXIII's body was subjected, made it possible for the tissues not to deteriorate. Pascali also noted that the body was protected by three boxes, which impeded the entry of oxygen.

However, do you think that explanation will ever re-surface? Do you think that perhaps the Vatican as well as every Catholic on Earth is going to start attributing this preserved corpse to be a blessing from on High? Notice the following declaration made in the very next line in the same article...

Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican secretary of state, said Monday that the "conservation of the face, intact and smiling, is a gift from God."

The agenda is well rehearsed folks. It's not like they never did this before. Biblical fact remains... 2 Thessalonians 2:9, "...the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders," Even if the method by which this Pope didn't rot is made public, IMMEDIATELY the Vatican will pull the onus off the obvious and place it on divine intervention so as to make it appear to be a miracle. Do you think the Vatican will allow the body to be viewed so as to fuel the massive gossip to commence? Same article states...

President's Remarks at Pope John Paul II Cultural Center
(March 22: Bush praises Pope during dedication at Catholic University) -22 March 2001

The Pope is a "symbol of reconciliation" and a "hero of history," President bush said March 22 in remarks at the dedication of the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C. "The Pope reminds us that while freedom defines our nation, responsibility must define our lives. he challenges us to live up to our aspirations, to be a fair and just society where all are welcomed, all are valued, and all are protected," Bush said. "The culture of life is a welcoming culture, never excluding, never dividing, never despairing and always affirming the goodness of life in all its seasons," he added.

POP UP of the entire White House transcript of Bush's remarks:

-President Bush, cardinals officially open pope's cultural center

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Seven cardinals and President Bush presided over the March 22 ceremony and ribbon-cutting that marked the grand opening of the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington. Detroit Cardinal Adam J. Maida, president of the center dedicated to the Catholic faith, told the audience of about 1,200 guests in a huge tent on the grounds of the center that the pope insisted it be located in Washington instead of any of several other suggested sites, including Warsaw or Krakow in Poland. "He sees Washington, D.C., as the crossroads of the world," Cardinal Maida said. "The center's location here will allow it to impact and shape the many events that transpire here."

It appears the lamb horned beast (USA) is indeed doing all it can to give power unto the beast (RCC) A Pope John Paul II cultural Center in Washington? Church and State literally a Church and State! How deep does this Bush / Catholic agreement dwell?

PAPAL BLESSINGS AVAILABLE THROUGH INTERNET

VATICAN CITY, MAR. 25, 2001 (Zenit.org).- Commemorative parchments announcing papal blessings are now available through Internet. The blessings are listed on a parchment document and are available for special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, baptisms, first Communions and ordinations. The Vatican does not sell the blessings. To make them accessible, the Vatican has entrusted their distribution and authentication to companies selling religious articles. The companies charge a moderate fee to meet the expenses incurred in producing and mailing the parchment. For decades, these parchments could be purchased in religious-articles stores in the Vatican. Now they can also be obtained through Internet. San Michele Arcangelo (http://www.sanmichelearcangelo.com) is one of the first companies to offer this service.

Even though the Vatican "says" they're not selling the blessings, it is stated in this article that, "The companies charge a moderate fee to meet the expenses incurred in producing and mailing the parchment." No matter how they "word" it. You want the blessing? You want the parchment? They want the money.

SCANDALS SHOULDN´T TARNISH ALL RELIGIOUS, LEADERS SAY
23-Mar-2001 -- ZENIT.org News Agency
Joint Statement of Religious Superiors

ROME, (Zenit.org).- Leaders of the Church´s religious congregations, both feminine and masculine, have made known their position on the topic of sexual abuse suffered by religious, especially in Africa. Their statement came after the Vatican reported it is investigating allegations of sexual abuse committed by priests and missionaries against nuns in the 1990s. The joint statement of the Union of General Superiors and the International Union of General Superiors confirmed that it is a "known problem," and that "concrete" measures have already been taken. The superiors´ statement, distributed by the Vatican, calls for looking at this phenomenon in the proper perspective, as there are 1 million women religious and 200,000 men religious in the world.

"The consecrated life wishes to transmit hope in a world divided by wars, nationalism and so many forms of injustice of individuals and structures," the document states. In this endeavor, at least 600 religious have lost their lives violently over the past 10 years, the international agency Fides reported Wednesday.

Therefore, in agreement with Vatican spokesman Joaquín Navarro-Valls, the superiors reiterate that "some negative situations cannot make us forget the fidelity, frequently heroic, of the vast majority of men and women religious and priests," the document concludes.

No excuses for the rampant sexual degradation of Rome. Instead, the Pope prefers rather to hide the facts by stating many have been killed, and done heroic acts over the years. So, if you die, or do a good deed, it's ok to molest, abuse, transmit AIDS, and rape anyone and everyone you please.

CATHOLIC, PROTESTANT SCHOLARS TO DISCUSS INDULGENCES

VATICAN, Feb. 14, 01 (CWNews.com) -- In a move that has no precedent in the centuries since the Reformation, the Vatican has brought 20 Catholic and Protestant theologians together to discuss indulgences.

Under the auspices of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, the discussions will begin with an attempt to define what the Church means by indulgences. Msgr. John Radano, one of the Catholic scholars who will participate in the discussions, told a Vatican Radio audience that it is important to recognize that under the Catholic understanding, "there is no conflict between indulgences and the mercy of God toward the sinner who repents." The participants in the meeting will include Cardinal-elect Walter Kasper, the secretary for the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity; Ismael Noko, the secretary general of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches; and Rev. Sven Oppegaard, a Lutheran scholar from Geneva

You CANNOT PURCHASE FORGIVENESS by money or by works! You do realize what's REALLY being discussed don't you? ECUMENISM!

Is a picture really worth a thousand words?

It sure seems so to me. One of the Pope's top men seen posing with his anti-Christian pals in the Mason lodge with smiles beaming across all faces. I'll let the 1000 words speak here. They appear to be doing just fine

An investigation has been launched into allegations of child abuse at the London Catholic school attended by Prime Minister Tony Blair's two teenage sons. The inquiry focuses on a former chaplain and governor at the London Oratory School in Fulham, south-west London, who died of a suspected Aids-related illness, several newspapers have reported. Police and social services were alerted after pupils wrote letters about Scots-born Father David Martin to Childline. While Mr Blair sends his sons, Euan, 16, and Nicholas, 14, to the school, there has been no suggestion that they are involved in the investigations.

The former chaplain is alleged to have met at least six pupils in his rooms at the London Oratory Church, to which the school is affiliated. Two boys were said to have expressed fears that they may have contracted the HIV virus from the priest, who died two years ago, aged 44.

How sad. Not only do these young boys have to deal with the abuse of a child molesting priest that has no doubt jeopardized their ability to embrace Christianity. They are now faced with the possibility of being infected by AIDS!

Chicago Tribune, Friday, 10/25/96,
"POPE BOLSTERS CHURCH SUPPORT FOR EVOLUTION",
by Stevenson Swanson, Tribune Staff Writer, Dateline: New York.

"In a major statement of the Roman Catholic Church's position on the theory of evolution, Pope John Paul II has proclaimed that the theory is 'more than just a hypothesis' and that evolution is compatible with Christian faith. In a written message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the pope said the theory of evolution has been buttressed by scientific studies and discoveries since Charles Darwin ...

The Pope just called God Almighty a LIAR! Adam and Eve were NOT created, according to Pope John Paul II. The Pope is openly saying they evolved from the apes swinging in the trees of Eden!

Huge Crowds Convince Vatican to Keep Holy Door Open Late

The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY (AP) - With huge crowds waiting for hours under a cold rain outside St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican officials said Thursday they were keeping the Holy Door open late during the final two days of the Holy Year. ...Pilgrims can gain an indulgence, or remission from punishment for their sins, by passing through St. Peter's Holy Door, as well as the doors of several other major basilicas. The passage must be accompanied by prayer and other actions such as confession and receiving Communion to meet all the conditions for the indulgences.

Such lie filled theology is this! To think that your sins can be forgiven by something YOU DO? In essence, what they are saying in the Catholic church is this. JESUS CANNOT SAVE ME, I NEED TO DO WORKS FOR FORGIVENESS. Now do you understand why those that trust in their works are judged and we that trust in Jesus are not? They believe they can be SAVED BY WORKS, so... the Lord judges them BY THEIR WORKS simply because that's what they want. However, those of us that trust Jesus as Saviour are NOT to worry simply because Jesus in them IS without sin.

Romans 5:18-19, "Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."

Jan. 17, 2001 | At the time, it sounded like a good idea to Father Olan Rynn. The project was a calendar, the sales of which would raise funds for child cancer and cerebral palsy. A young mother in Galway, Ireland, came up with the idea, based on another charity calendar in the U.K. Celebrities throughout Galway had agreed to pose for the project, including several athletes, a gynecologist and the proprietor of a bookshop. The sole stipulation was that each had to appear naked.

The Bible. The WORD OF GOD is now needed to hide his WHAT? This ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST uses the Holy Word of God as a pornographic prop?! No respect whatsoever for the Word of God Almighty is so apparent in this Synagogue of Satan! Think of it! All those in the world that look to the Roman Catholic church as a Christian church are now making decision for OTHER religions because this church is obviously EVIL TO THE CORE! They actually believe Christianity is evil simply because they believe Catholicism is Christianity! The devil really IS that cunning!

Papal biographer breaks taboos with book on gay Italian priests

by Victor L. Simpson

Associated Press
The priest, who is never identified, discloses that a network of homosexual priests is activein the Italian church. It is described as an informal "self-help group" that lives in the "catacombs" of the church--the underground. " There are always those who fear being discovered by superiors and listed as partners in a homosexual corporation. It's incredible how the fear is so widespread," the priest says through the author in the nonfiction account, written in the first person.

The book's publication follows an intense public discussion of homosexuality in Italy, generated by July gay pride festivities in Rome that were denounced by the pope. Some public figures began to talk about their homosexuality, something previously unheard of in Italy. Politi, who covers the Vatican for the Rome newspaper La Repubblica, co-authored His Holiness, a biography of Pope John Paul II, with American journalist Carl Bernstein. Politi said he had difficulty finding a publisher for his new book because "there was a certain amount of fear" to overcome in the Vatican's backyard.

The gamble paid off, he said. The first edition of 5,000 copies, published by Rome-based Riuniti, sold out in three weeks and even won some praise in the newspaper published by the Italian Bishops Conference. A review in L'Avvenire complimented the author for an account that doesn't "spy through a keyhole on the intimate and everyday behavior of a person." But it took issue with the suggestion that the church shows little understanding for priests struggling with their homosexuality.

The Rev. Antonio Mazzi, a prominent Italian priest who runs a drug rehabilitation community called Exodus, recently spoke of knowing homosexual priests "who live a tormented life." "Many are young. It's a phenomenon that's spreading, above all in seminaries," Mazzi told the newsweekly Panorama. Despite Pope John Paul II's hard-line position on homosexuality--he called the gay pride festival offensive to Christians--Politi's priest expressed admiration for the pope. "He's something like my ideal that I am unable to realize, or to realize in a very mediocre way," he said. -Posted Dec. 8, 2000

Why is AIDS killing Catholic priests ELEVEN TIMES GREATER than any high risk groups in the USA? Is it because they DON'T practice their gay lifestyles as the Vatican would have us believe? Truth will always win out! And why do you suppose so many ARE living the sin filled gay life? Is it because they hate the WRITTEN WORD so much that the Almighty has allowed them to embrace the hellish lies of such a life? What does His Word say on this...?

Romans 1:25-28, "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"

News for Immediate Release February 5, 2001 Easton & Levy, Attorneys resistk@yahoo.com www.vaticanbankclaims.com

Siroki Brijeg, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Near the site of a World War II wartime massacre of Serb women and children by Croatian Nazis stands a Franciscan Monastery. It's just down the road from Medjugorje or "Miracle City" where the Virgin Mary is said to put in nightly appearances for the tens of thousands of Roman Catholic pilgrims who flock there each year. The Franciscan Monastery at Sirkoi Brijeg and its controversial contents are at the center of an international scandal involving the Franciscans, Croatian ultra nationalists and the Vatican Bank.

A lawsuit, Alperin v. Vatican Bank, filed in San Francisco Federal Court in November 1999 by Serb, Jewish, and Ukrainian Holocaust survivors against the Vatican Bank and Franciscans seeks return of Nazi loot stolen from wartime Yugoslavia. According to a 1998 US State Department report, the money known as the Ustasha Treasury, is thought to have been concealed in the Vatican and used in part to fund the escape of Nazi and Croatian war criminals to South America. The Franciscans acted as facilitators and middlemen in moving the contents of the Ustasha Treasury from Croatia to Austria, Italy and finally South America.

The Franciscans have denied their wartime ties to the Ustasha regime in Croatia, which slaughtered over 700,000 Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies and set the stage for today's ethnic battles in the Balkans. However, in Siroki Brijeg, plaintiffs' attorneys have obtained tangible proof of the Nazi Franciscan connection. Cameramen working for Phillip Kronzer, a staunch foe of Medjugorje and its Marian apparitions obtained entry to the Monastery and filmed a secret shrine honoring the Ustashe. A plaque dedicated to Franciscan monks who were Ustasha members was filmed along with a massive shrine lining the walls complete with photographs of Ustasha soldiers some in Nazi uniforms. The admonition, "Recognize us, We are yours" can clearly be discerned in the video footage. On a later visit to the monastery the shrine had been dismantled but the videotape preserved the evidence and has now been made available by the Kronzer Foundation.

Just as in World War II, Medjugorje in the 1990's was the site of brutal ethnic cleansing by Croat nationalists. Alperin plaintiffs have alleged that Medjugorje and its facilities are connected with the Ustasha Treasury and the monastery at Siroki Brijeg seems to provide hard evidence of the connection.

Paul II Explains the New Age of Christ
When "God and Man Are in Harmony"

VATICAN CITY, FEB. 14, 2001 (Zenit.org).- At a time when humanity is trying to establish a "new world order," John Paul II proposed a new era "of peace with God and among men," brought by Christ. In the new era brought by Christ, the Pope explained at today's general audience, "God and man, man and woman, humanity and nature are in harmony, in dialogue, in communion." ...Christ's new era also embraces "nature itself ... subjected as it is to lack of meaning, degradation and devastation caused by sin," which will thus participate "in the joy of the deliverance brought about by Christ in the Holy Spirit."

This article reeks of Pagan dualism! God and man? Man and women? Humanity and nature? This article also depicts a Pope getting the world ready for the personification of ANTICHRIST! For the Pope also says in this article...

The authentic new era is nothing other than the re-establishment of the lost relation between God and man. Addressing 4,000 faithful from 13 countries, gathered in Paul VI Hall, the Holy Father said that "Christ must cancel the work of devastation, the horrible idolatry, violence and every sin that the rebellious Adam has spread in the secular affairs of humanity and on the horizon of creation." -ZE01021408

Sounds like the Pope is preaching Jesus is coming to CLEAN UP THE EARTH and make for a peaceful place? Kinda sounds like that "Left Behind" video of lies that's been selling as well. Want to know what REALLY happens when Jesus gets here? Want to know what the BIBLE says about that time? Then read this FREE book online here ... "The Rapture"

In that book you will see Bible passages the Hollywood producers conveniently left out of that video circling the globe. After reading it, ask your Pastors, Preachers, Priests, and fellow Christians why those verses were never mentioned by them before? Get ready for a pack of lies folks. Fact is, false teachers and preachers don't much care for being proven wrong in such an easy and valid way.

The Roman Catholic Church has become the leading Internet service provider in the Philippines. The church built a comprehensive Internet network running the length of the 1,000-mile archipelago, according to the San Jose Mercury News (see link #4 below). Because it operates as a nonprofit church-run entity, CBCPNet charges less than commercial providers. ...The goal is eventually to wire every diocese, parish house, and parochial school in the country, the News reported. Internet cafes will be set up to provide access for the poor. ...Violence, gambling, and pornography are screened out by monitors and software that blocks access to those kinds of sites. When a search is done for the Playboy site, for example, the computer displays the message, "Thank God you were not able to enter that bad site. CBCPNet suggests that you access wholesome sites instead. God Bless You." -CBCPNet

You are surfing the net on your Vatican ISP, you are tempted to go to the Playboy site, and the Pope has prevented you from doing so. Well that's all well and good. However, you DO realize it's the Pope and his ISP programmers that did this "holy hacking" so as to prevent you from doing a no no. But, notice what the Pope says about HIS act of holiness... "Thank God you were not able to enter that bad site." Add this to all the other DOCUMENTED QUOTES from the Roman Catholic church and yes, you really do start to realize, the Pope THINKS he is "another God on Earth" -Labbe and Cossart's "History of the Councils." Vol. XIV, col. 109 Did you also notice the Vatican hopes to have EVERY household in that entire country wired into THEIR ISP?

Key Week Is Beginning for Ecumenical Dialogue
Romanian Theologians Write Booklet for Events

VATICAN CITY, JAN. 17, 2001 (Zenit.org).- of Prayer for the Unity of Christians, which begins Thursday, may be the most important ecumenical event of the year. the coming week, thousands of meetings are planned around the world. Christian churches and communities will reflect together on Jesus' words: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." are about 1.9 billion Christians in the world; just over half are Catholics. Christian communities resulting from the Reformation, as well as Anglicans, number 360.9 million followers. The Orthodox total 223.2 million, and the remaining number belong to other Christian communities. meetings. This year the booklet was written by a Romanian ecumenical group. This group of theologians was entrusted with the task of writing the booklet by the "Faith and Constitution" Commission of the Ecumenical Council of Churches and the Catholic Church's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. the prayer they wrote for the ecumenical week, the Christian theologians state: "During the 20th century, called the 'century of ecumenism,' great progress was made on the way toward unity. These are the first fruits of unity, a gift of the Spirit. If the last millennium was marked by divisions among the Churches, over the last years, especially, work has been carried out so that the new millennium will be one of unity." In recent years this country has made significant strides in the dialogue between Christians, which made possible John Paul II's first visit to an Orthodox country, in May 1999. important to place signs on this way, in which we go forward together, and the year 2001 offers us multiple occasions to do so," the theologians recommend. "Of central importance is the fact that the Easter date is the same for all churches in the year 2001. Thus, all the world's Christians will celebrate the common feast of the resurrection of Our Lord on the same day." they noted, "will be the celebration by the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church of the foundation of the first Christian state, 1,700 years ago." of an Ecumenical Letter, a text resulting from the work of the second European Assembly, held in Graz, Austria, in 1997, which reflects the development of common initiatives among the churches of Europe. of common commitment to the construction of society: "The churches may continue to work together on the remission of the debt, included in the program of the Jubilee 2000." At the same time, the theologians invite Christians to support the "Decade Against Violence," proposed by the Ecumenical Council of Churches. culminating moment of the coming ecumenical week in Rome will be presided over by John Paul II, with a solemn celebration Jan. 25 in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. Representatives of all Christian churches and communities will participate. of Prayer for the Unity of Christians coincided with the opening of the holy door of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, to emphasize the Jubilee's ecumenical dimension. this morning's general audience at the Vatican, John Paul II appealed to all Christians worldwide to join in the ecumenical effort, "this common invocation to the Lord."

Did you notice? "1.9 billion Christians in the world; just over half are Catholics. " Fact is, ALL are Catholics! With the exception of that "peculiar treasure" of the Lord that exposes this HUGE Synagogue of Satan. That's right, we're the ones they will BLAME when the plagues start falling, we're the ones they will declare are causing the plagues, we're the ones they will PERSECUTE, JAIL, AND KILL as directed by the Pope so as to stop the judgments of God.

Here you have an absolute example of Catholic theology at work. They have for so long been preaching that the statues, and paintings of Jesus and Mary are HOLY, that now they reep the rewards of their efforts. They can actually use the "holy" images to CONTROL THE PEOPLE!!

Headline prompts apology to GU's Father Spitzer
Newspaper appoints task force on errors, asks copy editor to resign

Editors at The Spokesman-Review on Wednesday apologized to the president of Gonzaga University, appointed a task force on errors and asked a copy editor to resign. The events occurred in the wake of a bad headline in Wednesday's newspaper calling the GU president a Nazi.

"I was embarrassed and horrified at the headline error," editor Chris Peck told the Rev. Robert Spitzer in a letter he hand-delivered to the Jesuit priest. -The Spokesman-Review.com Nov. 9,2000

An editor calls a priest a Nazi. Then it turns out the priest is a Jesuit. Now, lets take a look at a paragraph from the official Jesuit oath shall we...?

I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants' heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus. -The Jesuit Oath of Induction is recorded in the Congressional Record of the U.S.A. (House Bill 1523, Contested election case of Eugene C. Bonniwell, against Thos. S. Butler, Feb. 15, 1913, pp. 3215-3216) It can also be found in the book entitled, "Subterranean Rome" by Charles Didier translated from the French and published in New York in 1843. Dr. Alberto Rivera escaped from the Jesuit Order in 1967

Enough said? It appears the editor was reprimanded for telling the TRUTH! For the COMPLETE oath, see this... The Jesuit Oath of Roman Catholicism

The author, Massimo Salani, a lecturer at Pisa's centre for theological studies, said McDonald's was better suited to the Lutheran mentality of an individual relationship between man and God. Eating food in the fastest possible way, often alone, satisfied only the self, not others, he said. -The Gaurdian

Could it be MickeyD's decided not to go along with the June meeting in 1999 in regards to buying and selling? Is this why the Pope has decided to attack a mammoth fast food chain? And to use such a reason as to say that FOOD IS HOLY? Can anyone else see through this bogus agenda? Or should I say can anyone NOT see through this one? Not only is this just plain silly, but it reeks of Cain's theology all over the place! It was Cain that placed FOOD on the altar in Genesis, was it not?

CHURCH HAS RIGHT TO PRONOUNCE ITSELF ON LAWS, JOHN PAUL II SAYS
Greets New Portuguese Ambassador

VATICAN CITY, NOV. 13, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- The Church has the right to criticize a country's laws and institutions when they go against the moral
law, John Paul II affirmed today. When receiving Pedro Jose Ribeiro de Menezes, the new Portuguese ambassador to the Vatican, the Pope focused on the public role of the Church in modern democracies. "The Church has no direct power over laws and institutions of the state,
chosen democratically and in full liberty by citizens," the Holy Father said. "But in fulfilling the mission received from her divine Founder, she
claims the right to pronounce herself on them, distinguishing what is permitted by the civil laws from what is the moral law, consistent with a
well-formed conscience." - ZE00111307

Not long from now many REAL Christians will be saying the same thing. We cannot adhere to the laws of mankind when they go against the Law of God. But will the Pope acknowledge that "echo" when it is made in his "holy" tribunal? Will he not condemn you to death when you won't break the Sabbath of the Lord for the SUNday of the Roman Vatican? Ask Daniel's three friends.

POLICE AND MILITARY ARE SENTRIES OF PEACE, JOHN PAUL II SAYS
100,000 Pilgrims Attend Jubilee Event

VATICAN CITY, NOV. 19, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- John Paul II, addressing police and military personnel gathered for their special Jubilee, urged them to "be men and women of peace." Before a crowd of 100,000 who gathered today in St. Peter's Square under a relentless rain, the Pope -- himself the son of a military man -- fondly recalled all those in the armed forces who fell in missions of peace and in defense of law and order. The Pontiff, clad in green and gold, said peace should always be the chief aim, even though experience had shown that the use of force was sometimes necessary

A man or woman standing in front of you with a loaded gun primed to blow your head clean off if you become unruly is the "sentry of peace?" I believe me and my house will embrace the real Prince of peace Jesus Christ. He can protect me far better than those that can kill the body.

A Catholic priest has reportedly been found storing gay pornography on his office computer. The church allowed Father Jim Nicol, 46, to continue in his role as an assistant priest despite colleagues discovering the images which had been downloaded from the internet, according to the Daily Record. Father Nicol was removed from his job as official in charge of the National Marriage Tribunal, but has been allowed to continue his duties as an assistant priest in the Motherwell Diocese, near Glasgow. The images are said to have been mostly of young men. A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland says none of the images involve children or any illegal activity and police have not pressed charges after being informed of the incident. The paper reports that Cardinal Thomas Winning, head of the Catholic Church in Scotland, has been informed of the case, but has delegated responsibility to the Bishop of Motherwell Joseph Devine, Father Nicol's immediate boss. Bishop Devine has interviewed the priest, who admits to being gay and prone to "lapses", but he has blamed colleagues at the marriage office for his plight. -ananova.com FULL STORY - http://ananova.com/news/story/sm_125328.html

Again the Catholic church is under investigation for graphically perverse activity. And again, the Vat-of-sin has decided to allow this priest to remain a priest as well as continue in his duties. As Christians we realize that Homosexuality is indeed an open sign of demonic possession. Now do you understand why Roman Catholic priests are dying of AIDS eleven times greater than high risk groups in America? Want proof of that fact?

THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA, Vol. II.

The Book of Catholic Quotations

p.230 - "The Cross is the watcher of the whole world, the Cross is the adornment of the Church, the Cross is the might of the kings, the Cross
is the strength of the faithful, the Cross is the glory of angels, and the wound of demons"

p.230- "We worship Thy Cross, O Lord, and we glorify Thy holy resurrection."

p.230 - "Morever we worship even the image of the precious and life giving Cross, although made of another tree, not honoring the tree (God forbid) but the image as a symbol of Christ."

Exodus 34:14, "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"

Why does the Catholic church worship the cross? It's actually the symbol of the Sun god Baal. Ancient Pagans would look up at the Sun with their eyes tightly closed. Then they would peer through their eyelashes and tears and see a cross of light form on the Sun in their tears. That is why ancient paintings and carvings of Babylonian outdoor activities showed a cross (like a plus (+) sign) in the sky instead of the Sun. Now see this passage...

Deuteronomy 4:19, "And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven."

That's right. The Catholic church is actually ancient Babylon hidden under the veil of Christianity. Jesus called it a wolf in sheep's clothing did He not? The next time you see the Pope or a priest, notice the "plus sign (+)" type crosses embroidered in their vestments, or on the altars, or on candles, or on curtains, ceilings, tiles, wall tiles, floors, books, video tapes, grave stones, church doors, steeples, etc etc etc.

THE PHRASE THAT SILENCED AMERICAN CHRISTIANS
Glendon Addresses Round Table at Congress of Catholic Laity

ROME, NOV. 27, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- The Christian witness of countless Americans has been silenced by "a diabolically clever little phrase," says
Mary Ann Glendon. "The wordsmiths of the culture of death ... came up with one of the most insidious slogans ever invented," the representative of John Paul II at the 1995 U.N. Beijing Conference on Woman told a World Congress on Catholic Laity here. "'Personally, I'm opposed to -- here you may fill in the blank -- but I can't impose my opinions on others.'"

Can you see the Pope's agenda? He is trying to stop people like me (and some of you) from warning people about his hellish acts. But let's take a look at this for a moment... One phrase? Ok, I'll go one step further... Not only one phrase, let's have just one person speak it...

"'Personally, I'm opposed to you burning in hell fire but I can't impose my opinions on others.'" -signed Jesus Christ

MEDIA URGED TO COVER "MORAL DIMENSION" OF SOCIETY
John Paul II Addresses Employees of Italian Radio and TV

VATICAN CITY, NOV. 27, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- Radio and television must recover "the moral dimension" to edify society in a truly human way, John Paul II said today, when he met with employees of Italian Radio and Television (RAI).

The entire world understands that it is because of the immoral people in the Radio and Television industry that have overwhelmingly contributed to the rapid downward spiral of Christian values in society. We now see the Pope himself declaring it is these people we should employ to help uplift and edify the people as well as the morals of the World? Absolutely everyone knows about the evil people running rampant in the media. The media employs everyone from Princess killing photographers to Charles Manson glorifiers. Fact is, everyone on Earth has been blessed with this realization thanks to the media games of President Clinton as well as the Pope himself to cover-up "certain crimes." And now he is looking to this Satanically organized media to stop being evil and become role models of society? Look around folks... THEY ALREADY ARE!

In other words. He is asking all those that make their 6 figure incomes at the expense of our children's Christian values to file bankruptcy and "do the right thing?" It appears lip service is not only limited unto Creator of the Universe.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Protesters against a visit by Austrian far-right leader Joerg Haider to the Vatican clashed with riot police blocking their approach to St Peter's Square on Saturday. The violence was the worst at a demonstration of its kind. Audiences by Pope John Paul for other controversial political figures have provoked protests during his 22-year pontificate but all were moderately peaceful. Hundreds of demonstrators wearing crash helmets or with faces swathed in scarves tried to force their way down the Via della Conciliazione avenue leading to St Peter's Basilica, throwing cobblestones, bottles and smoke bombs. Some 200 heavily armed police officers in riot gear formed a phalanx with shields and batons before charging the crowd. They lobbed teargas canisters and beat many of the protesters to the ground, witnesses said. Some demonstrators were left with blood streaming from their noses. Photographers were also hit. Police told reporters five officers had been slightly hurt. "You're protecting a fascist," was the main chant hurled at police by protesters, who accuse Haider of being a racist. The Pope earlier met Haider and a 250-strong delegation from his Austrian province of Carinthia, who came to the Vatican to donate the traditional Christmas tree for St Peter's Square. At the end of their encounter the Pope indicated to a Vatican official to hand Haider, the governor of Carinthia, and each member of the delegation a copy of his World Peace Day message, which condemns racism and xenophobia. The clashes took place as Haider and his delegation attended a ceremony in St Peter's Square to light up the Christmas tree, which has been put under 24-hour police guard. (Rest of the article ... http://www.iwon.com/home/news/news_article/0,11746,82406|top|12-16-2000::16:10|reuters,00.html)

Regardless of who this "Haider" is and why the Catholics protested against their leader's desire to entertain him is minuscule. The fact remains that their own church leader Pope John Paul II had armed guards beat them to the ground till bloody, shoot them with tear gas, and place armed guards around them as well as a Christmas tree. (Guard a tree?)

By the way, do you know what "xenophobia" is? It's a fear of foreigners or strangers. And the Vatican CONDEMNS it? Why is this word popping up all over the place? ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT is on the near horizon people!

The comic is featured in the Italian magazine The Little Paper this week.

A new Vatican-approved serial, which is slated to hit newsstands in Italy this week, depicts the real life and true adventures of Karol Wojtyla: Pope of the Third Millennium. "He really wasn't a geek!" series' narrator, Grandpa, assures children at the outset. The Little Paper, an illustrated magazine for Italian young people by the publisher of the Roman Catholic Church periodical Famiglia Christiana, tells the story in four parts - opening with the pontiff's 1978 election, showing a massive, smiling John Paul looming over St. Peter's Square with white smoke rising behind him. "Our commitment is rather grandiose, dear children: Telling the life of no one less than the pope," The Little Paper tells its readers in an introduction for the first installment. "It is an adventurous life, full of change, of interest, of tragedy, of missions, of travel," the foreword promises. The plot device is Superman simple: Grandpa has a long, flashback-filled talk with his grandchildren when they ask why he isn't pope himself - since he's getting along in years.

Installment 1: The small-town Polish boyhood of John Paul, then young Karol. "I got it!" a bony-kneed Karol exclaims in one bubble-dialogued box, blocking a goal in a game of soccer. "Outa my way!" a teen-age Karol shouts in another, careening down a snowy slope on skis. "Crazy fanatic!" a bystander downslope shouts at the future pope. John Paul's teen-age years as an amateur actor also feature prominently, showing a dashingly mustachioed Karol on stage alongside a beautiful girl in an overwrought costume drama. "Whattttt? You want me to believe that he acted with girls?" a T-shirted girl asks Grandpa. "Certainly. And danced the waltz, the mazurka and even the tango," Grandpa says. The papal comics have their serious side as well, showing Karol's anguish at losing his mother at 9 and then his only brother two years later. Morals are there, too. Grandpa points out Karol never felt the need to prove himself by smoking, drinking beer and staying out late as he grew up - "as some boys do." The serial's overseers describe sales in the first days as strong, with versions in languages other than Italian perhaps ahead for the series. The comics are far from the first time the pope's message has gone out in an unconventional medium. Previous innovations in John Paul's 23-year tenure have put the Vatican on the Internet and John Paul himself on a CD. - The Associated Press contributed to this report

Is there no boundary to this church's desire to smokescreen the evils of Rome? Altered history books, burning Bibles, doctored video clips, murdered Christians, legal records hidden, lying priests the world over, smiling Jesuits, wolves in sheep's clothing, etc etc etc. And now comic books?

Matthew 24:24, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

Key phrase... "if it were possible." The elect children of the Lord know what this church is up to. No matter... It won't work. Prophetically speaking, the Vatican is finally exposed to ALL eyes just before Jesus returns. You have His Word on it!

BLAMING CHURCH FOR AIDS IS "TERRORISM," OFFICIAL SAYS
Pontifical Health-Care Council Official Chides Critics

VATICAN CITY, DEC. 5, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- To accuse the Church of spreading AIDS because it points out the moral questions entailed in the use of the condom is an act of "psychological terrorism," a Vatican aide on pastoral care says. Just days after the conclusion of a Vatican summit of world experts on AIDS, Father Felice Ruffini, undersecretary of the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers, replied to criticisms that often follow Church pronouncements on this issue. In statements today to the religious communities' agency VID, Father Ruffini said it is a "real act of psychological terrorism to present the position of the Church against the prophylactic as one, if not the principal, cause of the spread of AIDS. In any case, if the virus spreads, the fault lies with man, who does not want to engage in self-criticism of his behavior." He quoted French scientist Luc Montagner, one of the discoverers of the HIV virus, who "said clearly at the international conference on AIDS, organized a few years ago ... in the Vatican, that to combat AIDS effectively, what was necessary was healthy behavior in the area of sex." "For Catholic doctrine, chastity in keeping with each person's state is the safest means of prevention," Father Ruffini said. "Whoever rejects this position cannot then level this kind of accusation against the Church." Referring to the AIDS epidemic in Africa, Father Ruffini believes that to "propose the use of the condom is a contradiction, especially if we keep in mind environmental situations characterized by high temperatures." In addition, "we must say once and for all that the Church has always been first in line in the field of prevention and care, and very often is the only structure that helps patients, who are abandoned to themselves even by their own families," Father Ruffini continued. "According to what I have been able to verify in Burkina Faso, where the Camillians work," the religious family to which Father Ruffini belongs, "and from what I know of other African realities, we are facing dramatic situations. Our parish priests have become fathers to hundreds of children, who lost their families after their parents died of AIDS. Whole families disappear." He added: "The Church proposes the law of Christ, which goes by the narrow way, because it costs to follow Jesus."

A few months back we see the Seattle times reporting that "Sharing ones faith with another is now seen as an act that "could contribute to a climate conducive to hate crimes." ( see entire article here.. nl000302.htm) Then we see the US Congress working late hours constructing hate crimes legislation. Now we see the Catholic church declaring that exposing them as a TRUE contributor to the AIDS crisis is an act of terrorism. Wonder what's up? Fact is, there will be laws soon that prohibit speaking out against the Catholic church no matter how much researchable, concrete evidence both Biblically as well as historic you have against them. Why? The Mark of the Beast needs to be accepted by the general populace! If you have a bunch of Christians out there with PROOF, the plans to sign, seal and deliver literally billions to hell may be a bit compromised.

"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."-Revelation 13:15

One more thing... the Catholic church IS a major contributor to the AIDS crisis. Check out this newsletter of a few months back reporting on how Catholic priests are dying of AIDS in record numbers!... nl000207.htm

RELIGION CAN'T JUSTIFY HOSTILITY, JOHN PAUL SAYS
Papal Message to World Conference on Religion and Peace

VATICAN CITY, NOV. 29, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- Religion "is not, and must not become, a pretext for hostility," John Paul II said in a message sent for the 30th birthday of the World Conference on Religion and Peace. The celebrations were held in Tokyo on Monday and Tuesday. In the message, sent to Cardinal Peter Seiichi Shirayanagi, the Holy Father praised the efforts of the WCRP "in building a world peace." WCRP is a worldwide interreligious forum, which works to resolve situations and issues that endanger world peace and human dignity. Recognized by the United Nations as a nongovernmental organization, the conference is present in more than 60 countries. Its co-presidents include Cardinal William Keeler, archbishop of Baltimore, Maryland; Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement; and the president of Indonesia. "In recent years, the World Conference on Religion and Peace has been particularly involved in reconciling communities, which are divided due to conflicts and wars," the papal message said. "Your efforts to heal those affected by hatred and violence express a truth that I, too, have sought to affirm on many occasions: that religion is not and must not become a pretext for hostility, in particular when religious, cultural and ethnic identities coincide. "Faced with the pressing problems of today's global society, all religions must feel called to fresh efforts to cooperate in order to promote human
life and its dignity, to defend the family, to alleviate poverty, to bring about justice, to help preserve the ecosystem of our earth."

The Holy Father concluded: "Collaboration among the different religions must be based on the rejection of fanaticism, extremism and mutual
antagonisms, which lead to violence. We are aware of the importance of education as a means for promoting mutual understanding, cooperation and respect." ZE00112906

Hypocrisy is a favorite pastime of the Vatican it appears. How can the Pope say in one breath that religion cannot justify hostility, and then in the next breath sanctioned the re-institution of the OFFICE OF THE INQUISITION? (Notice following article) How transparent will it have to be before the people of the world realize the Beast of Revelation growling from Rome? AND THEY WILL see him shortly. Problem is, most won't know it until it's too late according to prophecy. But ALL will eventually know before Jesus returns

Pope John Paul II Revives Inquisition By Kathleen R. Hayes Feb 1991, NRI Trumpet Page 3

One may argue that this Ratzinger run agency is merely an attempt by the Catholic Church to root out communism or backslidden priests and their practices. However, with John Paul II's objective to implement "God's mandate" by creating a global church-state which will administer from traditional Roman Catholic theology, is enough cause for alarm. Malachi Martin has already stated in his book, "The Keys of this Blood," that the pope will not tolerate any belief systems that oppose his, not on a civil or church level. In John Paul II the world will behold a tyrant who will coldly execute direct orders against those whom he deems are heretics or immoral. Moreover, like his papal predecessors, John Paul II will carry out his "Godly mandate" in the name of Christ, or perhaps Mary. May God help us all.

Well, it looks like Napoleon's victory is short lived. Yes, there is little time left indeed! Did you notice that they boldly proclaim that this "Holy Office" will "pacify some?" Sadly, there are those Christians out there that may fall to this "power" so as to be pacified. Pray for them, for theirs is a calling that has awesome opportunities to see the Almighty glorified!

Israeli and Palestinian Officials Meeting in Rome

Rome, December 18, 2000 -- Itzhak Herzog, Cabinet secretary of the Israeli government, and Nabeel Amr, Palestinian minister for relations with the Authority's Parliament, will lead an informal meeting here on the theme "A Common Destiny."

From Sunday to Thursday, the three monotheistic religions are reflecting on conditions for the possibility of forgiveness. The participants are religious and political leaders and intellectuals, representing the entire Mediterranean basin. Among the religious representatives is Israeli politician David Rosen, director of the Anti-Defamation League.

"A common destiny?" Not likely folks. However, watch how Antichrist suddenly appears with a "fix all" solution to the whole matter that's about to befall mankind very shortly.

CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP SPOKE AT GRAHAM CONFERENCE.
Friday News Notes, December 29, 2000 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061-0368, fbns@wayoflife.org) - Adrianus Simonis, Catholic archbishop of Utrecht, spoke to the Amsterdam 2000 itinerant evangelist conference in July. The conference was sponsored and funded by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Though Billy Graham was not able to attend in person, his son, Franklin, was in charge. When asked by the press about ecumenical relations with the Catholic church, Franklin Graham replied that his father "had always reached out to all churches and we continue to look to those things with which we agree rather than those things with which we disagree." Archbishop Simonis told the crowd of evangelists, "The Roman Catholic community welcomes you to Amsterdam. There has been an exchange of letters between Billy Graham and Pope Paul dated June 16, 2000." The Roman Catholic archbishop was followed by the president of the modernistic Council of Churches in the Netherlands, Dr. A.H.C. van Eijk, who declared, "We are the same, for personal faith and social action go together. Evangelicals and ecumenicals are one in Christ."

Not so many years prior we heard Billy Graham openly declaring the Pope Antichrist. And now we see him AND his son embracing the Pope as well as allowing some of his cohorts to speak at his gatherings. Fact is, this is prophetically perfect. The Almighty does declare in His Word that the "three frogs" will eventually end up on the same lily pad. The devil, the Pope, and the Protestant churches. All one big ecumenical family. And by the way. Billy Graham has been known to declare you do NOT need Jesus as Saviour to gain Heaven. The proof is found here... nl000123.htm I am not the least bit surprised either. The Roman Catholic church has been preaching that lie for some time. However, just recently they put it in print here ... nl990513.htm

Friday News Notes, December 22, 2000 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061-0368, fbns@wayoflife.org) - James Dobson and Chuck Colson participated in a conference at the Vatican in late November, and shook hands with the Pope. Dobson said that "with regard to moral issues from abortion to premarital sex, safe-sex ideology, and homosexuality, I find more in common with Catholics than with some of my evangelical brothers and sisters." Dobson spoke at the Pontifical Council for the Family, which was founded by Pope John Paul II in 1981. Of his fellowship at the Vatican, Dobson said: "I felt very comfortable with my new Catholic friends. It was hard for me to leave" (Rocky Mountain News, Dec. 17, 2000). The Bible demands separation from false teachers (Rom. 16:17, etc.), and it is never right to disobey the Bible in order to do good. Further, God's curse is upon those who preach a false gospel (Galatians 1), and it is foolish to think that God's blessing can come from yoking together with those He has cursed.

Evangelical leaders James Dobson and Chuck Colson took part in a conference at the Vatican last month

This from LifeSite.net

Thurs. Dec. 14, 2000 -- James Dobson and Chuck Colson joined business executives, Catholic politicians, lawyers and scholars Nov. 27-29 discussing family issues. Dobson, president of Focus on the Family, and Colson, president of Prison Fellowship, also had a brief meeting with the pope, according to The Gazette of Colorado Springs. "Part of the thing is to get over the hump of knowing each other," said Robert Sirico, a Catholic priest who is president of the Acton Institute, a conservative think-tank based in Grand Rapids Michigan.

Dobson said that he has theological differences with the Catholic Church, but "when it comes to the family, there is far more agreement than disagreement, and with regard to moral issues from abortion to premarital sex, safe-sex ideology, and homosexuality, I find more in common with Catholics than with some of my evangelical brothers and sisters."

Can you see the Global Group hug yet? Can you see the three frogs on the same lily pad yet? Revelation 16:13, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet."

Vatican moves a step closer to the euro

VATICAN CITY Dec 29,2000 (Reuters) - The Vatican signed an agreement with Italy Friday paving the way for the tiny Roman Catholic city-state to start using euros in 2002 in conjunction with Italy. "The convention established the right of the Vatican to use the euro as its own official money," Vatican chief spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said. "The Vatican will follow the same calendar as the Italian Republic for the introduction of bank notes and euro coins." The agreement was signed by Papal foreign minister Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran and his Italian counterpart Lamberto Dini. Like all euro-zones states, the Vatican will have the right to chose symbols of its own to appear on its euro coins. The Holy See has not revealed its choice but a profile of Pope John Paul II seems likely to appear on the first Vatican euros circulated from January 1, 2002. The Vatican's bank, the Instituto di Opere di Religione, has long since been tied to the Bank of Italy which has issued lire coins bearing the Pope's head. The responsibility for coin issuance will remain with Italy.

Makes perfect prophetic sense folks. The one world court is in Rome. The One world church as well. So it only makes perfect sense that the Pope would go ahead and do what he started in Europe in the first place. He is the one who called for a "global economy" back on May 5, 2000 to be recognized as essential. He's the one who had Bishop Diarmuid Martin, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace say, "The global economy must be 100% global and must include everyone." The Beast needs to have all three in order to enforce the Mark of the Beast! Won't be very long now people. ARE YOU READY?

For a little more documentation and depth... Global Universal Power of the Pope

Kansas City, Mo. -Concern within the Roman Catholic church about the number of priests who have died of AIDS - related illnesses is growing, as is evidence that the death rate exceeds earlier estimates. In January, the Kansas City Star reported that hundreds of priests had died of AIDS-related illnesses and that hundreds more were living with the virus that causes the disease. The Star found that the AIDS death rate among priests was more than double that of all adult males in those states and more than six times that of the general population in those states. -Belleville News-Democrat 11-5-00 By Judy L. Thomas of The Kansas City Star.

I reported on the earlier article of the Kansas City Star when it came out as well. (This Kansas City Star is NOT the same as "The Star" tabloids) And by the way, the estimates of Roman Catholic Priests dying of AIDS exceeded the six times average in this article as well. Notice the facts in this Newsletter... -Catholic Priests Dying of AIDS in Record numbers-

POPE DONATES MONEY FOR ORTHODOX CHURCH, REPORT SAYS

BUCHAREST, Romania, NOV. 2, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- Romanian Orthodox clergy said today that John Paul II has donated $100,000 toward the construction of an Orthodox cathedral here that will accommodate up to 2,000 people, Agence France-Presse reported.

The Pope made the donation shortly after his historic visit to Romania in May 1999, the agency, quoted by Radio Free Europe, said.

Construction of the cathedral is expected to begin later this year or early next year in downtown Bucharest. Construction costs are estimated at $100 million. ZE00110221

I need not quote the passage that speaks of "Light with darkness" simply because there is no Light here at all. It's merely a meeting of the minds. No "hearts" are involved. However, for those Catholics that THINK their church is of Jesus Christ. Can you explain why your Pope just gave $100,000 to a Church YOUR FAITH declares as being anti-catholic? Actions speak louder than words.

Pagan infiltration is boldly apparent. Spiritualism is greatly embraced in the Roman Catholic church. Honestly, what's the difference between someone praying to a dead "Mary" in a rosary, or a psychic conjuring up a dead loved one? Nothing! BOTH are entertaining demons. Notice the title of his book? Is not Pagan Sun worship overwhelmingly exposed here?

TORONTO, Nov. 2 (LSN.ca) - LifeSite has learned that an Oct. 27 concert at St. Basil's Catholic Church in Toronto featured a composition by Gerald Hannon, Canada's leading advocate of "intergenerational sex," or pedophilia. Hannon was part of the choir and he was applauded separately after the piece by the musicians and those in attendance.

...LifeSite interviewed Hannon to confirm that he is indeed the same Gerald Hannon known for promoting pedophilia. Hannon told LifeSite that he is the infamous "prostitute professor," referring to the fact that he is the former Ryerson University professor, who, in the midst of a controversy over his support for pedophilia, revealed he was moonlighting as a homosexual prostitute. In 1996, Ryerson offered Hannon an undisclosed cash settlement for a guarantee that he would leave the university and not apply for his position again.

Hannon is one of Canada's most outspoken defenders of pedophilia. In Dec. 1977 he published an article, entitled "Men Loving Boys Loving Men," wherein he discussed favourably and explicitly homosexual sex acts with boys as young as seven years of age. The article led to criminal charges, but Hannon was acquitted.

Hannon is also known for his Mar. 11, 1995 Globe and Mail article which ridiculed then-London, Ont. police chief Julian Fantino's pedophilia investigation, Project Guardian. Fantino, now police chief in Toronto, denounced the article to the Ontario Press Council as "a distorted, self-serving and dishonest portrayal of the investigation."

In a CTV Canada AM interview in January 1999 Hannon defended child pornography. Asked on the show: "So, you mean if there was a guardian on the set of a pornography movie involving eight-year-olds that would make it okay?", Hannon responded: "It might well make it okay. We have guardians on the set for movies in which all sorts of violent things happen and children are involved in the acting. It's just an acting job." When asked, "is there such a thing as acceptable child porn?", he responded, "I think so. It's another kind of artistic expression."

The next Kammermusik concert will take place at St. Basil's Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m.

John Paul II doesn't seem to care about what his church is up to it seems. And why should he? His calling is to spread the religion of Babylon on a global scale.

Pope Meets Aerosmith in MAXX's' Spiritual Market'

By Deepa Babington NEW YORK (Reuters)

It's difficult to say which seems more unlikely: Aerosmith's bad-boy lead singer reciting a prayer written by the Pope, or a credit card stamped with the Vatican's "brand name." Both projects are the brainchild of Rich Garson, whose fledgling company MAXX International Inc. (MXII.OB), aims to strike gold in what he calls the "spirituality marketplace" -- for products and services that fulfill spiritual longings that transcend the lines of organized religion. "It's not about Catholicism, it's about spirituality," said Garson, who was brought up in the Jewish faith. "This Pope knows no spiritual boundaries."

In the brave new world of "spiritual marketing," a veteran rocker like Steve Tyler finds common ground with John Paul II, and imagery by Michelangelo from the Vatican's collection looks smart on a piece of plastic as the logo of the New York Yankees baseball team.

In a CD to be released later this year, the Aerosmith lead singer will join a bevy of other celebrities in reciting verses written by the Pope, someone not normally associated with the pop icons of the world. The CD, called World Voice 2000, will feature everyone from teen sensations Britney Spears and 'N Sync to spiritual guru deepak Chopra and others. ...Garson, 39, who once handled media promotions for Michael Jackson, denies the CD and the Vatican cards are designed solely as money makers, and insists the main motive behind them is a desire to spread the Pope's message. "The project is bigger than us," he said. ...Armed with the rights to the Pope's private prayers, Garson spent the better part of the year making the CD, following celebrities such as Celine Dion to Florida and Spears to Las Vegas to record them reading the Pope's words. ...The Vatican earns a tidy 12.5 percent royalty on the CD and book deals, and as well as a percentage on the card deal, a portion of which will be channeled into its orphanages, Garson said.

THE Pope, whose album Abba Pater released last year has sold more than a million copies, will soon be back in the charts: the pop stars Britney Spears and Ricky Martin are planning a new CD of his prayers. The collection, which could be in the shops by September, is also expected to feature the voices of Celine Dion, the Canadian singer known for her theme song for the film Titanic, and the pop band N Sync. The project has been masterminded by an American producer, Rick Garson, who says it would give hope to the young.

Last year the Pontiff had an audience with the Irish stars Bono and Bob Geldof, and three years ago he attended a pop concert in Bologna with Bob Dylan. He even based his Bologna homily on Dylan's hit, Blowin' in the Wind.

When two years ago, Italian television marked the 20th anniversary of his papacy, he surprised presenters by phoning in to thank them on air. Last year, with his blessing, teams of priests and nuns took part in a fashion show in Rome and sang pop songs in a television karaoke show featuring risque jokes and scantily clad girls.

From rock concerts with child molesters to rock concerts with openly demonic sex crazed teen idols, to karaoke with foul jokes and sluts? Is the Pope confused about WHICH Rock Jesus said He will build His church upon? I thought the basic LIE of the Vatican is that Jesus said Peter was the "rock" that He would build His church on? Now it appears the REAL god of the Vatican is stepping forth. Does the Vatican realize that the Word of God identifies Satan as the former angel called "Lucifer" who actually had musical instruments created IN his body? Does the Vatican realize that Satan himself is the angel of music as well as false light? Obviously not....or wait a minute! Didn't Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo step forward at the Fatima 2000 congress to declare that SATANISM WAS DISCOVERED IN THE VATICAN?

Excuse me... John Paul II... It is NOT upon "this rock" Jesus will build His church!

John Paul II Challenges Young People
Message for World Youth Day 2001

VATICAN CITY, FEB. 15, 2001 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II has again written a letter to young people for World Youth Day, challenging them to go beyond the world's "logic of success and power."

"Jesus is not the Messiah of triumph and power," the papal message reads. "In fact, he did not liberate Israel from Roman domination, and did not assure it of political glory. As the true Servant of the Lord, he carried out his mission in solidarity, service and humiliation unto death." -ZE01021506

The Pope is letting the teenagers rock out at concerts, emulate whores and whore mongering rock idols, nearly fornicate in front of him, dress in whoreish ways, and now he is telling them that Jesus Christ the Creator of all that is seen and unseen is NOT a Messiah of triumph and power?? Out of literally dozens of verses that prove the Pope overwhelmingly wrong, I would like to share just two for the sake of space...

2 Corinthians 2:14, "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."

1 Corinthians 5:4, "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,"

Most politicians are graphic proof that yes, you can be employed to LIE. And now they have a SAINT? Fitting, only a church governed by the "Father of lies' could actually put forth such recognition to those that embrace his base theology.

A British newspaper has reported an unusual encounter with the devil in the Vatican, with Pope Paul II, himself, attempting an exorcism of a possessed young woman.

Catholic Priest Arrested In Clinic Attack
October 1, 2000 11:15 am EST

ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS SEPT. 30, 2000 (CBS News) - Police say a Catholic priest smashed his car into an abortion clinic Saturday morning, then chopped at the building with an ax until the owner fired two shotgun blasts to stop him. The clinic was not open and nobody was injured in the attack, which came just two days after federal approval of the abortion pill RU-486. The man drove through a door at the Abortion Access Northern Illinois Women's Center around 8:15 a.m. He was swinging an ax when the clinic's owner fired a 12-gauge shotgun twice. He did not hit the man. The Rev. John Earl, 32, was arrested and charged with burglary and felony criminal damage to property, said Deputy Police Chief Dominic Lasparro. Earl was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail.

"I'm not surprised that something happened on the heels of the RU-486 announcement," he said. "But this is a little more violent than we were expecting."

A Catholic priest who has NOT the "bridal of the Spirit" upon him so as to prevent him from doing that which Hell would desire. I wonder how many more people have made the decision in their hearts that "all Christians are crazy! Look at how their leaders evangelize!" You think this "reaction" is this planned for a reason?

Jews Boycott Vatican Meeting to Protest Document on Catholic Primacy

By Victor L. Simpson Associated Press Writer

VATICAN CITY (AP) - The Vatican was forced to cancel an Oct. 3 symposium on dialogue between Christians and Jews because two rabbis dropped out to protest a recent Vatican document asserting the primacy of the Roman Catholic faith. It is difficult to have a dialogue when one side is missing," the Rev. Remi Hoeckman, secretary of the Vatican's office for reltaions with Jews, said Friday. "We hope to hold a it at a later date." ..."Rabbi Toaff and I wrote a letter to the organizers telling them that in the climate created after the views expressed by Cardinal (Joseph) Ratzinger we could no longer take part in such an event," Piattelli told The Associated Press.

Who would have thought that AFTER the Pope controlled "ONE WORLD CHURCH" started on June 26 that the Pope would start flexing his evangelical muscles so quickly? Who would have thought he would have waited so long? Almost 3 whole months!

Naples Saint's Blood Liquefies, Citizens Relieved
September 20, 2000 8:16 am EST

NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) - The substance believed by many Neapolitans to be the dried blood of their city's patron, Saint Gennaro, liquefied right on schedule Tuesday. Clergymen held aloft the powdery substance in its glass vial as thousands of the faithful gathered in the southern city's cathedral, and after about an hour of prayers they displayed the vial again, its contents liquefied. The substance usually turns to liquid twice a year -- on September 19, the saint's feast day, and on the first Saturday in May. Some Neapolitans, traditionally very superstitious, fear disaster may strike the city if the blood of the fourth-century martyr does not turn to liquid. Disaster has struck at least five times after the blood failed to liquefy, including in November 1980 when some 3,000 people died in a massive earthquake that struck southern Italy. Scientists have confirmed that the substance inside the closed vial is blood but cannot explain why it regularly turns to liquid.

Let me ask that the Vatican proves this "blood of a human" is a sign from the Lord God Creator. Let's ask the Vatican to show us any Bible verses that declare the blood of humans would go from powder to liquid as a sign from on High. One verse? Just one?

Psalms 30:9, "What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?"

According to my Bible the blood of men, EVEN KINGS such as as David cannot proclaim Truth. So...what is this dried blood declaring if it cannot declare TRUTH? Prophetic fact remains...

Zephaniah 1:17-18, "And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land."

How many times does this blood have to turn to DUST before they realize it IS dust the majority of the time? Isn't it always the case with the lies of this church? They always proclaim the backwards declaration as a forward event. By the way, do you see how the "CITIZENS ARE RELIEVED?" Kinda like going to a Psychic. Which by the way is a sanctioned employment in this church. Their Catechism alone with al the signs of the Zodia speaks volumes unto that fact of Catholicism.

Italian bishops meeting in Turin this week will be grappling with a tricky linguistic question; how to address the Devil. The Italian Bishops Conference will be considering how to implement changes to the official exorcism rite, approved last year by the Vatican. For centuries Roman Catholic priests have used the classic Latin formula Vade retro Satanas to drive out the Devil. Now, like the Latin Mass before it, the phrase is being pensioned off in favour of invocations in the local language. In Italian, with two forms of "you", this raises the question of which is more fitting. "Vai indietro, Satana!" would give the demon his marching orders with the familiar "tu" and seems the most likely choice. But pedants might prefer the formal "lei", more distant and used to address strangers or inferiors.

"I have always used Latin but I don't think the language change will make much difference," commented Father Corrado Balducci, an expert on exorcism and the paranormal.

"The exorcist rite is very brief, it simply orders the Devil out. There can be variations, you may invoke the Trinity or the Madonna, or recall that Jesus overcame temptation by the Devil" he said.

Not even the Pope can cast demons out as you no doubt saw a few articles above. But now it appears the Vatican is stating that you can cast demons out mentioning the demonic trinity doctrine, or worse yet, ask MARY to do it? No wonder the LEADER of this church could not cast out the demons from the 19 year old girl on September 12. Shall we ask the same question again? WHERE DOES IT SAY THIS IN THE BIBLE?

Mark 16:17, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;"

Devil defeats the Pope in Vatican exorcism battle

By Bruce Johnson in Rome

THE Pope carried out an impromptu exorcism on a teenage girl after she began "screaming insults in a cavernous voice" during an audience in the Vatican City, it emerged at the weekend. Despite the Pope's efforts and those of his chief "Satan-buster," Fr Gabriele Amorth, the girl remained "possessed." The Devil's voice "sneeringly laughed from within her" at the Pope's failed attempt to drive him away.

"The Devil went to the Vatican," the II Messaggero newspaper in Rome reported after being told of the incident by Fr Amorth. He said the exorcism had been the Pope's third in his 22-year papacy. The paper said that although there may have been other instances of people being possessed in the Vatican, last week's incident had been "spectacular" and Satan had "shown his muscles." The incident occurred during last Wednesday's general audience in a packed St. Peter's Square. Suddenly the unnamed 19-year-old girl from Monza began shouting "in a cavernous voice and as if in a fit of rage."

Constrained by Vatican guards, she was said to have displayed "a super-human strength" as she violently pushed them away. Bishop Gianni Danzi, Secretary-General of Vatican city, intervened and sought to calm her by showing her a crucifix. But she began "insulting him, uttering disconnected phrases, and speaking in unknown tongues."

Bishop Danzi hurriedly informed the Pope's private secretary, Mgr Stanislao Dziwisz, who in turn told the pontiff. After driving around the piazza in his Popemobile, the Pope talked to the girl, exorcised her, and stayed with her for half an hour. He prayed for her and assured her that he would say a Mass for her the next day "to obtain her liberation." But it appeared afterwards that the Pope's intervention had only a temporary effect on the girl. She was said to have been "possessed since she was 12," as a result of someone putting a curse on her out of hatred for her parents. She had been taken by her mother and father to the audience in the hope that a papal blessing would be of some benefit.

Fr Amorth claimed that the Vatican had attempted to cover up the affair. He said: "I exorcised the very same girl on (the day before the incident) together with another exorcist, Fr Giancarlo Gramolozzo.

Vatican Reopens Condom Debate
September 19, 2000 8:15 am EST

AIDS Crisis Forces Rethink

VATICAN, SEPT. 18, 2000 (CBS News) - In response to the AIDS epidemic devastating Africa, the Vatican has re-opened the debate on the use of condoms. In an article in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Monsignor Jacques Suaudeau, a member of the Pontifical Council on the Family, writes: "If people want to prevent AIDS they must be convinced to change their sexual behavior. Until a real effort is made in this regard...the prophylactic is one of the best ways to contain the sexual transmission of HIV and AIDS."

Where's the boldness in Jesus? Where is the trusting of TRUTH that allows for no compromise? The Pope may as well said it's ok to have premarital sex as long as you use condoms! What is the proper answer to such a question? THE LAW OF GOD! Does the Almighty say use condoms if you can't stop breaking commandments?

Isaiah 58:1, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."

Pope Beatifies Disputed Pius IX

By ELLEN KNICKMEYER
.c The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY (Sept. 3) - Pope John Paul II defended and praised two of his predecessors Sunday in one of the most disputed beatifications of his papacy, moving closer to sainthood the tradition-defending 19th-century Pope Pius IX and the tradition-easing 20th-century Pope John XXIII.

John Paul said Pius IX was ``much loved, but also hated and slandered.'' Jewish groups and others bitterly resent Piux IX for condoning the taking of a Jewish-born boy, confining Rome's Jews to what was Europe's last ghetto and calling Jews ``dogs.''

Beatification is the last formal step before possible sainthood. John Paul
has beatified and canonized more people than all of his predecessors
combined, believing firmly in presenting diverse role models for the world's
faithful.

ADL Statement on Beatification of Pope Pius IX

NEW YORK (Sept. 3) /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed concern at the Vatican's beatification of Pope Pius IX, who was responsible for the 1858 abduction of a six-year old Jewish child.

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:

"The beatification of Pius IX is troubling for the Jewish community. Pius was responsible for the case of Edgardo Mortara, who at the age of six was abducted from his family in Bologna and taken to the Vatican by Papal police after it was reported that the Jewish child has been secretly baptized. Many European heads of state protested the 1858 kidnapping, as did Jewish leadership. As a result, Pius blamed Rome's Jews for what he believed was a widespread Protestant conspiracy to defeat the papacy and levied medieval restrictions on the community.

ROME (Reuters) - More than 300 Jews and reformist Catholics protested in Rome on Saturday against the beatification of Pius IX, a controversial and ultra-conservative 19th century pope accused of anti-Semitism. Polish-born Pope John Paul is due to beatify Pius IX, the last "Pope King" who reigned from 1846 to 1878, along with the much-loved 20th century reformist Pope John XXIII on Sunday.

"You can't believe in the spiritual motivation for Pius's beatification when the act is so obviously political," said Abbot Giovanni Franzoni, the head of the Church of St Paul Outside the Walls.

Pius, who adamantly opposed religious tolerance and defined the doctrine of Papal infallibility, referred to Jews as "dogs" and once had a Jewish boy kidnapped from his home, forcing him to be brought up as a Roman Catholic.

On June 23, 1858, papal police in Bologna entered the home of the Mortaras, a Jewish family, snatched six-year-old Edgardo, and took him to Rome. He went on to become a priest.

I'm sorry... I hate you... I'm sorry... I hate you. ...is it "THE AUTHOR OF CoNfUsIoN AT WORK HERE?

Hmmm... The Catholic church makes vice ridden wine and hard liquor to support the church. It created sin drenched gambling on a global scale to support the church. It sells "indulgences" on a global scale to dupe its parishioners out of more cash. It holds decadent carnivals at every Catholic church in the USA to support the church. It has bake sales and craft shows INSIDE every Catholic church basement in the USA to help fund the church. It has the USA Government giving it vouchers to help fund the church. Plus, the Vatican itself is an actual government itself that generates literally hundreds of millions on a daily basis in it's "acts" of war against the true child of Jesus globally. And now we see this "so called" church placing STOCK on the Stock Market?

Is it that Satan likes to flaunt his ability to so cloud the eyes of Catholics in front of the Throne of the Almighty in the hopes of making Him sad? BINGO!

'Jerusalem should be a unified world capital'

Top Palestinian calls for special status if no deal is struck

Suzanne Goldenberg in Jerusalem Wednesday September 6, 2000
In a speech to the European parliament in Strasbourg, Ahmed Qureia said the Palestinians would support internationalizing all of Jerusalem - including Arab East Jerusalem, occupied illegially by Israel since 1967 - should the two sides fail to reach a final settlement in the crucial weeks ahead.

"Unless we can reach an agreement on Jerusalem, I have to declare that both parts of Jerusalem east and west should be a unified international Jerusalem... not just the capital of Israel or Palestine, but a capital of the world,"said Mr. Qureia, who is speaker of the Palestinian parliament.

The proposal revives a formula put forward by the UN in 1947 and since repeatedly rejected by Israel, and opposed by the Palestinians, through it still remains part of European foreign policy.

President Clinton is to begin talks today with Israel's prime minister, Ehud Barak, and Mr. Arafat, meeting each separately on the sidelines of the millennium summit in New York.

ARE BELIEVERS OF OTHER RELIGIONS SAVED?

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger Responds

VATICAN CITY, (ZENIT.org) - "How is it possible to explain the unique character of Christ and of the Catholic Church to a Jew or a Lutheran, a reporter asked Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, during a press conference to present the "Dominus Jesus" declaration, which is concerned, precisely, with the unique and universal salvation of Christ and the Church.

Referring to a believing Jew, Cardinal Ratzinger clarified that "we are in agreement that a Jew, and this is true for believers of other religions, does not need to know or acknowledge Christ as the Son of God in order to be saved, if there are insurmountable impediments, of which he is not blameworthy, to preclude it. However, the fact that the Son of God entered history, made himself part of history, and is present as a reality in history, affects everyone.".

I wonder how many times it will take before ALL the God fearing children of God trapped in this church of hell decide to leave? How many times does the Vatican have to say that JESUS ISN'T NECESSARY FOR SALVATION? How many times?

"God, where were you in Paris?" asked Catholic Bishop Josef Homeyer, his voice quavering with emotion as he addressed 350 people at an ecumenical worship service in Hanover, Germany. "Why have you deserted us? Our hearts are heavy." He reminded the mourners of the hope in the resurrection.
...The bishop spoke as Germany and France grieved this week after a Concorde airliner burst into flames and crashed outside Paris July 25, killing 113 people, most of them German tourists, Reuters (see link #1 below) reported. It was a terrifying site, and the first time one of the supersonic jets had gone down.
Passengers were bound for New York and a luxury cruise.
...The only real consolation is that even the Son of God had asked his Father in heaven, "Why hast thou forsaken me" before He died on the cross, Hirschler said. He assured his audience that Jesus Christ is with those who are desperate and who mourn for their loved ones. "You will never fall deeper than into God's hand."

Catholic churches in Philadelphia will have to shut down their
lotteries after questions were raised about their legality. Lotteries are used by some parishes to fund parish or school expenses, but The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that running high-stakes games of chance such as the
$40,000 Pot of Gold jackpot appeared to violate state gambling laws. The law allows fraternal and charitable groups to raise money with small games of chance, but not lotteries. ...The decision to shut down the games was met with disappointment and anger. "People were upset," said Michael McCormac, the pastor of St. George Church, who announced the suspension to parishioners. "Many felt it was a contribution to the church. It was helping the school." The church takes in $168,000 each year from its lottery, 14 percent of its budget. ...The archdiocese doesn't keep track of the number of lotteries being run or the amount they raise, a spokesman said. Prosecutors said they have never received a complaint about church lotteries and consider them low priority, according to the newspaper. -by the Editors of ReligionToday August 2, 2000

Vatican, With Influence Over Palestinians, Seeks Say on Jerusalem
By Ellen Knickmeyer
Associated Press Writer

VATICAN CITY (AP) - The Vatican has something to offer Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: its influence with the Palestinians in prodding them toward accord with Israel on Jerusalem. The Vatican, for its part, wants something from the U.S-brokered mediation on Jerusalem's final status: a say. The Vatican has a different vision for Jerusalem, long-held and so strongly felt that Pope John Paul II publicly reminded Camp David's powerbrokers of it during the talks. Urging all sides "not to overlook the importance of the spiritual dimension of the city of Jerusalem," John Paul repeated the Holy See's insistence that international oversight - "a special statute, internationally guaranteed" - would best safeguard the city's holy sites and all its religions. "The Jerusalem question could make the peace process fail - or become the symbol of peaceful coexistence among Muslims, Christians and Jews," Arafat said, prophetically, then.

It's so obvious as to the Vatican's agenda that one can use two words to describe an understanding as to why the Vatican is so interested in Jerusalem... PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT

Albright sees Vatican as critical to agreement on Jerusalem

Weekend News Today
By Andra Brack
Source: Jordan Times

Tue Aug 1,2000 -- US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Monday she believed the Vatican could play a critical role in narrowing gaps between Israel and the Palestinians over Jerusalem, the main stumbling block in their peace process. Albright, speaking to reporters accompanying her to Rome for a Tuesday meeting on the subject with Vatican Foreign Secretary Jean-Louis Tauran, said while the Roman Catholic Church could not dictate or veto a solution to the fate of the Holy City, its input would be key to an eventual agreement. "They clearly have an interest in the holy places and ... since we are obviously going to go on with these talks in some format, it would be useful to meet with the Vatican," Albright said.

She said she would be presenting to Vatican officials ideas being considered to overcome the differences on Jerusalem, the site of some of the most holy places in the world's main monothestic religions which both Israel and the Palestinians claim as a capital. "I want to share views with them," Albright said, noting that she had conferred twice with the Vatican during the marathon Camp David summit that failed last week after 15 day of intense negotiations. "They are wise and they have had a long-term interest in this," she said, refusing to describe in more than the most general terms what the suggestions for Jerusalem included. During the summit, the pontiff suggested that the Old City of Jerusalem become "internationalised" in order for the holy sites and access to them to be guaranteed.

Catholic League Launches Web War Over Democrats' 'Gorgy'
Monday August 7, 2000; 6:37 PM EDT

After seven years of wall-to-wall presidential sex scandals, you'd think Vice President Al Gore would try to exercise a little more controlling authority over Rep. Loretta Sanchez, the wayward vice chairman of the Democratic National Convention. She's staging a DNC fund-raiser at the Los Angeles Playboy Mansion next week, supposedly over the veep's objections, just as the Democratic Convention gets underway. Now Catholic League President Bill Donohue complains that Sanchez's sleazy little soiree is scheduled for August 15, the Feast of the Assumption -- a holy day of obligation for Catholics. "We are contacting all of our friends in the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist communities to join with us in our protest of the Playboy Mansion fund-raiser," Donohue announced in a press release Monday.

The REAL agenda of the "ONE WORLD CHURCH" that began on June 26,2000 is apparently surfacing. It's not about coming together in Jesus' name as is evident by the NON-Christian faiths within it. It's all about POLITICAL CLOUT of the Vatican! Take a look at the article posted below titled, "Christian Priests get Death Threats" and you will see another side to this joint venture. Scratch my back...? Or is it more prophetic to say... my ears?

News Article: Cardinal delivers anti-abortion prayer to Democrats

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Cardinal Roger Mahony of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles kicked off the
Democratic National Convention Monday with a prayer calling for the protection of the unborn. Mahony said his invocation was not intended to be political. But his anti-abortion message to a party that overwhelmingly upholds abortion rights, was provocative. "In you, oh God, we trust ... that you will keep us ever committed to protect the life and well-being of all people but especially unborn children, the sick and the elderly, those on skid row and those on death row," Mahony said. "I come as a pastor, not a politician; an advocate of values, not candidates," said Mahony, who was invited to offer the prayer by Vice President Al Gore, the party's presumptive presidential nominee.

Perhaps a prayer for the Roman Catholic Church itself Cardinal? On March 12, 2000 MANY cardinals came forth to proclaim their desire for forgiveness in the acts of ABORTION the Church did for so many hundreds of years. Oh...by the way. These abortions were also done while it was ILLEGAL, as it was not yet legalized in the land!

A Trinidad, Texas, family of 10 adults and 6 children refuses to leave its property and warns police to bring body bags if they plan to come and get them. The gate to John Joe Gray's property has homemade signs that proclaim "90 percent of Catholic priests ARE child molesters," and a warning to public servants the "survivors will be prosecuted." Gray, 51, claims he has been targeted by police for his belief that government has no authority to make laws or regulations. He has very strong religious convictions that have brought him into direct conflict with police and the courts over a number of issues. WorldNetDaily could not reach him because his home no longer has phone or electric service.

Care to watch how the Government that CANNOT legislate "lately" without the approval of the pope sitting in ROME will handle this one? I know I will be.

ROME (Reuters) - An energized Pope John Paul, ending a youth rally that drew more than two million people to Rome, on Sunday urged young people, as the future of his Church, to build a society worthy of humanity. Ignacio is one two million people the Italian media has dubbed "Papa boys" and "Papa girls" who invaded Rome for the six-day jamboree and to see their hero. A number of young people interviewed acknowledged that they did not see eye-to-eye with the Pope on all matters, particularly teachings on sexual morality and contraception. "I believe in God and I love this Pope, but I don't agree with everything the Church says," said Karin Dussaut, 20, from Montreal, Canada.

The Pope preaches unto the youth that it is their calling to "build a society worthy of humanity?" What of the great commission of Christ to go forth and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Would it not have been better said to state it is their duty to build a society of better Christians? But that is not the Pope's desire. He does not look upon these youth as children of Jesus Christ. Oh no, they are "Papa boys and Papa girls" and should do as Papa says! Is it any wonder some of the kids openly declared they cannot agree 100% with this man's teachings? Especially in areas of "sexual morality and contraception?" The Pope declares a MiXeD MeSsAgE to the world. One minute he declares sex is a no no, and then he creates a music video with a man and woman pictured naked in it! Or he declares that contraception is a no no yet in the Catholic schools of America, and masturbation is the suggested alternative as well as homosexuality? Or he preaches against abortion, yet historic documented evidence as well as an open admission is recorded on March 12, 2000 that the Vatican has aborted many hundreds of thousands of babies in convents the world over. Or what of the young ones that desire to experiment with Satanism and the Pope says no no, yet even this has been "discovered in the Vatican?" No wonder these kids can't understand or agree with him. So... why do they stay in?

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." PRAY FOR THEM!

John Paul II Draws Million or More Sweating Faithful
By Ellen Knickmeyer
Associated Press Writer

ROME (AP) - Nuns clapping alongside bikini-wearing young faithful, as many as 2 million candle-waving Catholic pilgrims lit up the hills outside Rome on Saturday in a spirited World Youth Day with Pope John Paul II.
A helicopter ferried in the 80-year-old pontiff as a fat, red sun sank below the hills, cooling a day that earlier had hit 100 degrees - baking the crowds blanketing a 15-acre university campus. ...With the Saturday night prayer pep rally, John Paul sought to charge up the faith of these young Catholics so they will steadfastly lead the church in a new era.

As at least a few couples in the crowd kissed or cuddled, John Paul acknowledged the difficulties of following some church teachings, including ones against sex before marriage. "Is it hard to believe in the third millennium?" the pope asked the crowd. "Yes! It is hard." ...His speech was frequently interrupted by cheering, singing and shouts of
"long live the pope." At one point the pope shot back, "John Paul Two, he loves you!"

A young woman in a T-shirt managed to break through security to embrace the pope, resting her head affectionately against his for a few seconds.

Crowds lit candles as darkness fell. John Paul closed the evening with an apology to those fans in back - but added modestly they at least had heard the "chaos" of his prayers and speech. "Tonight they heard us in Rome," he said, ebullient. "And they will never forget it!"

Young people stripped down to shorts and bikinis around gushing hydrants, splashing in welling mud pools. "It's hot, and I'm going to get wet anyway," said Dina Focina, 22, waving a hand at her two-piece.

So, once again we see the Pope doing as the Pagan church has all along been doing. Glorifying the flesh over and above the Truth. Bikini clad young girls frolicking on a hot summers day in the refreshing streams of cold water for all the "young boys" to lust after and even "kiss and cuddle" to their young hearts content! And all this done under the allowing eyes of their religious leader and living icon. And is always the case with the Paganism of Rome. It is ROME that is the main issue. For even the Pope declared, "TONIGHT THEY HEARD US IN ROME" Instead of today they hear us in Jesus. Did you also notice that a "young woman in a T-Shirt" was allowed to break through the security to embrace the Pope and "affectionately" rest her head against his? I wonder...was she wearing anything else besides a T-Shirt? Jeans maybe? The reporter ONLY says T-shirt. Was it the Pagan gOD of the "SUN" again that initiated this decadent behavior? It appears so. Just as in it's so called "Fatima dance" we see the Pagan "sun god" doing that which the Pagan Church desires. Or is it just that it was hot out and they HAD to strip down to bikinis and shorts? The Son of God would not permit that which the "sun god" seems to insist upon. Any excuse will do here for those that have not the eyes, nor desire to see it for what it is. A grand display of sin.

(CWNews.com) - The US House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to grant the Congressional Gold Medal, the nation's highest civilian honor, to Pope John Paul II. The proposal passed 416-1 to honor the Holy Father who has used his office as leader of the world's one billion Catholics to promote "the freedom and dignity of every individual human being" and "using his moral authority to hasten the fall of godless totalitarian regimes." The proclamation recognizes the Pope's role in the fall of Communism in his native Poland which led to its subsequent collapse throughout Eastern Europe. Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa, sponsored the bill, saying the Pope "has sundered despotism and ennobled faith displaying courage and conviction." The sole dissenting vote was cast by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who has objected to other awards of the medal based on the $30,000 cost of the item. The most recipient of the Gold Medal was the late Cardinal John O'Connor earlier this year who died this month. Other recipients have included George Washington, Winston Churchill, Bob Hope, and Mother Teresa. The Senate Banking Committee will take up the measure on Wednesday.

A Nation STARTED as a result of fleeing the grasp of hellish Catholicism is now embracing and honoring it? An in depth study of this "Nation" and it's prophetic nature is in order! Revelation 13:11, "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

The pope is going pop.

John Paul II, with an array of actors and musicians, will recite prayers he has written for the compact
disc World Voice 2000, to be released by Columbia Records in September, USA Today reported. A video, DVD, and book are in the works.
..."It's not about Catholicism, it's about spirituality," said Rick Garson of Maxx International, the group producing the recording, the newspaper reported. It is a "light at the end of the tunnel" for young people surrounded by school shootings and violence, he said. Versions are planned in Italian and Spanish. ...Country, pop, and rock musicians are taking part. They include teen-age stars Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Monica, LeeAnn Rimes, and 98 Degrees, along with adult recording artists Vince Gill, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. Actors James Earl Jones, Brooke Shields, and Dennis Franz also will read, -USA Today reported.

The Pope who claims to be a Christian is about to appeal to the TEENS of the World by using Satan, the "ANGEL OF MUSIC" and all his cohorts to get the job done? Not surprised...

Daniel 8:23, "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up." Just another CHARACTERISTIC OF ANTICHRIST is all.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has been called upon to investigate claims of World War II era Genocide by the Vatican and Franciscans.

An open letter on behalf of Serb and Jewish survivors of wartime atrocities by the fanatical Catholic Croatians known as the "Ustasha" requests the UN Secretary General to investigate allegations of genocide committed by the Vatican and Franciscans. Specifically the victims claim:

The Vatican and Franciscans knowingly helped Croatian and Nazi war criminals escape justice by organizing and funding the Nazi smuggling ratline based at San Girolamo and the Vatican whose many beneficiaries included Eichman, Barbie, Artukovich and Pavelic. Allegations of money laundering of the Croatian Nazi (Ustasha) Treasury consisting of loot stolen from concentration camp and other victims; and as to the Croatian Franciscan order, actual participation in genocide against Serbs, Jews, and Roma comprising the over 500,000 victims of the Croatian Nazis slaughtered in Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia during Word War II.

Victims' claims in the class action Alperin v. Vatican Bank include mass rape, beheadings, torture, mutilations, burnings, establishment of concentration and forced labor camps, destruction of Orthodox Churches and Jewish Synagogues, and looting of assets valued in the hundreds of millions by the Ustashe and Franciscans. Post war the Vatican provided sanctuary for the Ustashe killers until they could be whisked away to safety in South America via the Vatican ratline financed by Ustashe loot.

The Vatican and Franciscans have steadfastly denied involvement in these activities despite documentation by the US State Department, recently declassified documents, and numerous exposes of the ratline.

The victims through their attorneys Easton and Levy have called upon the Secretary General to consider and investigate the allegations and to call upon the Vatican and Franciscans, both of whom enjoy Observer status at the United Nations, to open their wartime archives.

"In founders and foundresses [of the consecrated orders of nuns and priests, etc.] we see a constant and lively sense of the Church, which they manifest by their full participation in all aspects of the Church's life, and in THEIR READY OBEDIENCE TO THE BISHOPS AND ESPECIALLY TO THE ROMAN PONTIFF. Against this background of love towards Holy Church, 'the pillar and bulwark of the truth' (1 Tim 3:15), 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 apostolic obedience and the sentire cum Ecclesia of Saint Ignatius Loyola, and the joyful profession of faith made by Saint Teresa of Avila: 'I am a daughter of the Church'. We can also understand the deep desire of Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus: 'In the heart of the Church, my mother, I will be love'. These testimonies are representative of the full ecclesial communion which the Saints, founders and foundresses, have shared in diverse and often difficult times and circumstances. THEY ARE EXAMPLES WHICH CONSECRATED PERSONS NEED CONSTANTLY TO RECALL if they are to resist the particularly strong centrifugal and disruptive forces at work today. A DISTINCTIVE ASPECT OF ECCLESIAL COMMUNION IS ALLEGIANCE OF MIND AND HEART TO THE MAGISTERIUM OF THE BISHOPS, an allegiance which must be lived honestly and clearly testified to before the People of God by all consecrated persons, especially those involved in theological research, teaching, publishing, catechesis and the use of the means of social communication. BECAUSE CONSECRATED PERSONS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE CHURCH, THEIR ATTITUDE IN THIS REGARD IS OF IMMENSE IMPORTANCE FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE OF GOD" (Pope John Paul II, "Apostolic Exhortation on the Consecrated Life and Its Mission in the Church and in the World," to the bishops and clergy, religious orders and congregations, societies of apostolic life, secular institutes, and all the faithful, given in Rome, at Saint Peter's, March 25, 1996).

Daniel 7:25, "And he shall speak great words against the most High,.."

MIAMI (AP) - A Roman Catholic priest who was president of St. Thomas University for 10 years was arrested in a prostitution sting. The Rev. Patrick H. O'Neill, 60, was charged with soliciting a prostitute last week after a conversation with a male police officer from his car. O'Neill's lawyer, William Dean, predicted his client would be cleared. According to police reports, Officer Albert Guerra was working undercover July 5 when O'Neill allegedly drove up and lowered his car window. Guerra, 27, said O'Neill offered him $100 for sex acts. O'Neill did not return two calls to his home. Miami Archdiocese spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta said he was out of town on a previously scheduled trip. "Father O'Neill has cooperated with authorities, and we are optimistic there will be a quick and just resolution to this incident," Ross Agosta said. O'Neill was president of St. Thomas University from 1979 to 1988. He also has served as president of the South Florida Center for Theological Studies and president of the National Conference of Christians and Jews

Is it getting a bit overwhelming? Yet, most Catholic REFUSE to believe ALL these articles. Is it possible that ALL these sources have formed a conspiracy against the Pope? Psalms 2:4, "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."

Christian priests get death threats
Bangalore, July 14
(HT Correspondent)

CLOSE ON the heels of the bomb blasts in the state, Christian priests in the north Karnataka
city of Hubli-Dharwad have received a shock in the form of a letter that threatens them with
death if they did not "stop conversions and accept Hinduism". The letter that arrived by post to almost all the priests of the Protestant order in the twin cities is sourced as "Vishwa Hindu Parishad" but otherwise unsigned. Under the heading 'Last Warning to Christian Missionaries', the nine-paragraph letter has sent shock waves.

Talking to The Hindustan Times over phone from neighbouring Belgaum, Bishop Bernad Moras said these letters were received by post on July 11th and 12th only by the priests in the twin cities. A complaint has been filed by the priests with the Hubli-Dharwad police. Bishop Moras said though it had been signed with the nomenclature "Vishwa Hindu Parishad", the police would have to find out who exactly sent them. "Somebody else could be using the VHP name," he said. "We do not know whether this is in any way related to the recent bomb blasts, but I feel that the state Corps of Detectives (COD) which is investigating the case should look into this also," the Bishop said. The letter, highly incendiary, speaks disparagingly of the Christian community and demands that the priests should instead turn to "Sri Rama" and "Sri Krishna" and worship the cow if they wanted to live in India. Interestingly, the letter has been received only by Protestant priests and not even a single Roman Catholic priest has got them. Bishop Moras said there had been no previous threats of this nature except for the recent bomb blasts. The letter says that so far bomb blasts occurred only at churches. If "our" instructions are not followed it the blasts will occur in "your homes", the letter warned.

Is the Pope EXTORTING the Religious neighborhood? Let's look at the FACTS, one day we see the Pope HUGGING the Hindu leaders, he places their IDOL on his ROMAN CATHOLIC ALTAR then he receives a MARK upon his forehead from their nuns, and then the Hindus JOIN his ONE WORLD CHURCH on June 26, 2000. And now...those that step on the toes of the friends of Rome get BOMB THREATS?

Dutch will not prosecute Pope for anti-gay remarks

AMSTERDAM - Dutch authorities will not prosecute Pope John Paul for discrimination after he criticized a gay rights march as an "offense to Christian values," an Amsterdam court said on Tuesday. It said the public prosecutor had decided not to press charges because of the Pope's status as head of the Roman Catholic church, head of the Vatican state and highest representative of the Holy See. This position gave him global immunity from jurisdiction, the court said. Earlier this month, Dutch magazine, Gay Krant filed a complaint against the Pope after the pontiff criticized a gay rights march in Rome. The 80-year-old Pope said in a speech the Church considered homosexuality "objectively disordered" and condemned homosexual acts as being "against natural law." The remarks drew wide condemnation from gay rights activists, who accused the Vatican of fueling homophobia. -Reuters

Double standard you ask? Why is it the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH with their media frenzied spindoctors declaring that anyone preaching against Catholicism should be prosecuted as "Racists" and convicted of a "hate crime" as is reported in this my Newsletter, "Is Preaching the Gospel Now a Hate Crime?" Yet the Pope can speak out against anyone he pleases INCLUDING calling those that speak out against him HERETICS and all that occurs is the usual? N O T H I N G? It's simple, it is Satan's world people. He can do what he wants....for now...

The Protestant Church, Germany's other main denomination, last week formally acknowledged that it used forced labor under Hitler's regime, when both churches were subject to severe oppression. It pledged to pay 10 million marks into the fund. But the Roman Catholic Church has until now said it had no evidence in its central archives that it drew on an army of up to 10 million forced laborers sent to Germany from across Europe and made to toil for the Nazi war effort. However, it has acknowledged there may have been individual cases of local parish priests using forced labor for tasks such as grave-digging.

The Bishops' Conference was responding to an ARD television program late Wednesday which outlined the case of a Bavarian monastery where a Polish couple and their two children worked alongside 19 French and 16 Russian prisoners-of-war. Hammerschmidt said it was likely that the Polish family were used as forced labor, adding the Church was investigating this case and would examine others in parishes in Berlin and Paderborn. Christa Nickels, religious affairs spokeswoman for junior coalition government partners the Greens, said the Church should immediately pay into the fund.

"The correct thing to do is for the Church to pay into the fund. It's not about when, where and how many forced laborers were used, but whether the two main churches were involved in the system," Nickels said in an interview in Friday's Frankfurter Rundschau, released ahead of publication.

So... ANOTHER admission that this church is NOT the church Jesus started. Did you notice one of the "daughters of the whore" were admitting fault EASIER than the "Mother of Harlots"?

HOLY LAND PATRIARCHS KNOCK ON CAMP DAVID'S DOOR

JERUSALEM, JULY 19 (ZENIT.org).- In the midst of the fragile Palestinian-Israeli negotiations taking place in Camp David and mediated by the U.S. government, the Patriarchs of Jerusalem: Catholic Michel Sabbah, Armenian Torkom II, and Greek Orthodox Diodoros I, as well as the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land, have requested the opportunity to express their positions on the future status of the Holy City.

The religious leaders sent letters to Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat asking that the Christian community be kept in mind in current negotiations and future agreements.

Fr. Raed Abusahlia, secretary of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, explained on Vatican Radio that the Patriarchs have two additional requests. "In the first place, that Christians of the Holy Land and Jerusalem be considered as a human and geographic whole -- that the division of the ancient city of Jerusalem and its environs not be accepted. In particular, the Armenian Orthodox do not wish to be annexed into the Jewish neighborhood."

"In the second place, they ask that the future of Jerusalem be based on a special statute guaranteed internationally to respect free access to Holy Places by Christians, Muslims, and Jews of the country, including tourists and pilgrims," he concluded

Why such an interest in the affairs of Jerusalem? Daniel 11:45 says, "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him." It won't be long now people...

POPE SAYS VIOLENCE IN NAME OF RELIGION IS A TRAVESTY
Calls for Peace on Receiving Indonesian Ambassador

VATICAN CITY, JUN 13 (ZENIT.org).-"Recourse to violence in the name of religious belief is a travesty of the tenets of the major religions," stated John Paul II to the new ambassador from the largest Muslim nation in the world. Yesterday he received Indonesian Ambassador Widodo Sutiyo and called for continued efforts to respect the basic human right of religious freedom. -ZE00061305

Pope John Paul II Revives Inquisition By Kathleen R. Hayes Feb 1991, NRI Trumpet Page 3

The thought of a revived Holy Office of the Inquisition would pacify some and offend others. Nevertheless, the "Holy Office" still exists. Only it's name has been changed. Pope John Paul II has been instrumental in its revival. One may argue that this Ratzinger run agency is merely an attempt by the Catholic Church to root out communism or backslidden priests and their practices. However, with John Paul II's objective to implement "God's mandate" by creating a global church-state which will administer from traditional Roman Catholic theology, is enough cause for alarm. Malachi Martin has already stated in his book, "The Keys of this Blood," that the pope will not tolerate any belief systems that oppose his, not on a civil or church level. In John Paul II the world will behold a tyrant who will coldly execute direct orders against those whom he deems are heretics or immoral. Moreover, like his papal predecessors, John Paul II will carry out his "Godly mandate" in the name of Christ, or perhaps Mary. May God help us all.

The wound is almost healed, the inquisition is now REVIVED, and it is here to "pacify" those that speak out against all that the Roman Church teaches. And yes, it does "offend" many. Do you suppose the killings will begin again? Do you suppose the Roman Church would think it is "good behaviour" to kill Christians?

"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 (emphasis added)

According to this article, the Catholic church admits they take part in persecutions. PLUS, this article states that the Catholic church has no intention of stopping their "good behaviour." The mere mention of this "good behavior" brings to mind the prophecy of our Lord Jesus that, "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service." [John 16:2]

BISHOP MISAGO CLEARED OF GENOCIDE CHARGES

KIGALI, RWANDA, JUN 15 (ZENIT.org).- A Rwandan court has acquitted Bishop Augustin Misago of genocide charges, ruling that he played no part in the killings of 1994. The prosecutors were pushing for the death penalty, and the aging bishop has spent many months in a severely overcrowded prison awaiting this trial. "All accusations against Misago have been dropped. Misago is free. Misago has won the trial," said Criminal Court Judge Jariel Sekarusu in the capital, Kigali. The Bishop Misago's trial ended last month, with the prosecution calling for his execution, but the bishop received the backing of the Pope and other senior Vatican officials who said the trial was part of a long-running campaign against the Catholic church in Rwanda. Since the country began its genocide trials in 1996, more than
2,500 suspects have been tried and more than 300 sentenced to death.
ZE00061521

The ONE WORLD COURT system is in Rome, the ONE WORLD CHURCH system is in Rome as of 6-26-00. So, do you suppose it would be best to acquit those that have a vested interest in the work of the Vatican? Could the Rwandan Government foreseen a definite "sticky situation" in the conviction of this Bishop? Well, looking at the past sins of the Roman Church, one can see that yes, it's business as usual.

VATICAN CITY (CBS News) - "Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have prepared for you," the pope said, at the start of a special luncheon with the homeless, quoting from the Old Testament. It was a rare day for 200 homeless and the poor. They had lunch with Pope John Paul II, in Vatican City. According to CBS News Reporter Sabina Castelfranco, the guests' menu included ravioli with ricotta cheese, veal roast with baked potatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese brought up from southern Italy, fruit, wine, champagne and coffee. Food they never dreamed of eating.

Who do you suppose these poor people will liken the Pope unto after reading the verse he quoted as a direction TOWARDS himself? Proverbs 9:5, "Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled." Yes, it appears the Pope STILL believes as those in the Popes of the past have believed. For they have said with their own mouths... ""For thou art the the physician, thou art the director, thou art the husbandman, finally thou art another God on earth."

VATICAN WILL REVEAL FATIMA SECRET NEXT MONDAY
Cardinal Ratzinger To Present Accompanying Commentary

VATICAN CITY, JUNE 19 (ZENIT.org).- On Monday, June 26, the Vatican will officially publish the third part of the secret of
the revelations of the Virgin of Fatima. In an official statement, the Vatican Press Office announced that on that day Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone, secretary of this Vatican Congregation, will present a document entitled, "The Message of Fatima," which includes a commentary to facilitate the understanding of Mary's prophetic revelations. During John Paul II's trip to Fatima last May 13, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican Secretary of State, announced the Pontiff's decision to publish Mary's revelations to the three little Portuguese shepherds, two of whom were beatified on that day (Cf. ZENIT, ZE00051409).

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican said Monday it will unveil the details of the so-called third secret of Fatima next week. The gist of the secret was revealed last month during Pope John Paul II's pilgrimage to the shrine of Fatima in Portugal. But the Vatican has not yet issued an official document. A commission led by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the pope's top guardian of orthodoxy, is to release a text and commentary about the secret on June 26, the Vatican said. Vatican officials have said the secret, based on visions reported by three shepherd children in Fatima in 1917, foretold a 1981 attempt on the pope's life. The third secret of Fatima was one of the most enduring mysteries of modern Roman Catholicism; many had believed it was a doomsday prophecy too terrible to reveal. John Paul read the secret just days after becoming pope in 1978, but kept it to himself until the end of the millennium. The pontiff credits the Virgin of Fatima with saving him from death after he was gravely wounded by a Turkish gunman in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981. The other two secrets were revealed decades ago. They are said to have foretold the end of World War I and the beginning of World War II, and the rise and fall of Soviet Communism

Want to see just how demonic these so called prophetic revelations are? See my page entitled, "Apparitions of Mary?" On this page you will see this Biblical suggestion fulfilled... 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." All you need to do is find out what this "Mary" said from Fatima or other places, and then open a Bible to see if she "agrees" with that which is written, for it IS written in Isaiah 8:20, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

POPE CARRIES EUCHARIST THROUGH STREETS OF ROME
Overwhelming Emotion and Crowds for Corpus Christi

ROME, JUNE 22 (ZENIT.org).- This evening, at the height of the Jubilee, Rome witnessed the most overwhelming moments of the International Eucharistic Congress that is being celebrated this week. Today, the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, more than 70,000 faithful invaded the streets of the Eternal City to venerate the Eucharistic Christ in procession.

Immersed in a river of humanity, John Paul II was kneeling, absorbed in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. He was carried by a vehicle adapted for the occasion, including a small altar where the monstrance was placed.

It was preceded by two children, who, quite enchanted, dropped rose petals on the streets of Rome, as so many have done before them throughout the centuries in so many cities. Corpus Christi is a procession that has marked the subconscious of entire generations of Christians. In Rome, this tradition has been celebrated since the 15th century. The tradition was lost in the Eternal City in 1870, the year during which the Pope was forced to seek refuge within the Vatican walls during the vicissitudes of Italy's unification. But, as soon as he was elected Bishop of Rome, John Paul II restored this procession in 1979.

"We will escort the Eucharistic sacrament with humble pride through the streets of the city, passing by the buildings where people reside, rejoice, and suffer; through stores and offices where daily life unfolds. We will put him in touch with our life, threatened by a thousand dangers, oppressed by worries and sorrows, subjected to the slow but inexorable passage of time," the Pope said during the Mass preceding the procession.

It was an overwhelming moment, framed by a beautiful sunset, typical of Rome at this time of the year. A gentle, reddish sun bathed the buildings surrounding the Square. When the procession began, night was descending, and in no time thousands of pilgrims with burning candles became a luminous human river in honor of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Notice the "monstrance" pictured above. Is this not the Pagan Sunburst Idol god? Did you also notice the "veneration" that is given unto the wafer of the Roman Church? It is also called the "blessed sacrament" is it not? It is paraded through the streets expecting the worship of the people. Now let us look into the Word of the very God this Pope proclaims is his Lord...

Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

By the way... the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH admits the monstrance to be a sunburst...

U.S. APOLOGIZES TO JESUITS FOR ACCUSATION OF TERRORISM

WASHINGTON, MAY 9 (ZENIT.org).- The U.S. State Department offered "its most sincere excuses to the Jesuit Community," assuring it that it was not the intention to denigrate the Society of Jesus or its pastoral work in the world." The above press release was made following a controversial annual report, published at the beginning of the week, entitled "Global Tendencies of Terrorism," which affirms that the Colombian National Liberation Army was founded in 1965 by a Jesuit-inspired Fidel Castro and by Che Guevara. Similar accusations, the press release clarifies, are "absolutely false" and will be struck from future editions of the report. ZE00050906

SEARCH FOR PATRON SAINT FOR INTERNET
New Proposals to Give Network a Soul

BARCELONA, MAY 22 (ZENIT.org).- The proposal to make St. Isidore of Seville the patron of computer science and Internet has awakened interest worldwide. At the same time, it has encouraged new proposals. In its latest issue, the Internet Observation Service, which made the original suggestion of St. Isidore, published the results of its own research regarding whom the Pope should declare Internet's patron saint.

...The Internet must not become a mere instrument of power. It is a unique technological invention that must be at the service of all, especially the neediest, and that must also communicate the transcendent dimension of persons. Thus, the model and intercession of a saint could be of
great inspiration for cyber-navigators. The last word now rests with the Episcopal Conferences and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
ZE00052205

I am sorry... but this appears funny to me. Why not the patron saint of satellite TV? Or perhaps the patron saint of side impact airbags? Forgive my jocularity?

"The Roman Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties She has clothed herself in Christlike garments; but she is unchanged. Every principle of the papacy that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves. The Papacy that Protestants are now so ready to honor is the same that ruled the world in the days of Reformation, when men of God stood up, at the peril of their lives, to expose her iniquity. She possesses the same pride and arrogant assumption that lorded it over Kings and princes, and claimed the prerogatives of God. Her spirit is no less cruel and despotic than when she crushed out human liberty and slew the saints of the Most High.

The papacy is just what prophecy declared what she would be, the apostasy of latter times. 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4 It is a part of her policy to assume

The character which will best accomplish her purpose; but beneath the variable appearance of the chameleon she conceals the invariable venom of the serpent. "Faith ought not to be kept with heretics, nor persons expected of heresy" (Lenfant, volume 1, pg.516) she declares. Shall the power whose record for a thousand years is written in the blood of the saints, be now acknowledged as a part of the church of Christ." -THE GREAT CONTROVERSY (EGW Pg. 571)

is it any wonder this woman is called a plagiarist and a false prophet? It's because she's TOO ACCURATE! She is being treated no differently than the prophets of old. Whenever a prophet steps forward with ROCK HARD evidence that can be verified Scripturally, those being exposed go after that prophet with a hellish ferver.

The Pope has asked the world to forgive the Church of the murder she has committed in the past. Was there any indication that he prayed to Abba Father in the name of Jesus Christ to forgive the Church? Absolutely NO!

Let's review Matthew 6:5-6:
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closest, and when Thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; And thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

The Pope made a public relations act of forgiveness. Thousands watched as he, dressed in formal luxury, made a public display of seeking the world's forgiveness. Essentially, this was making a mockery of praying for forgiveness. It was NOT the Christian way of asking for forgiveness. Jesus Christ is our role model. He always went to a place of solitude to seek the Father. The Pope sought full media coverage in front of a multitude of persons. An act of penance? An act of ploy!

Exactly my friends! It was not an act of forgiveness. It was PUBLIC RELATIONS. To make such a public profession as this is an obvious message to the HEARTS OF MEN instead of the Heart of the Almighty.

Human Life International reported yesterday that some South African's are calling for ancestor worship and animal sacrifices to be included in the liturgy of the Mass. According to Archbishop Buti Tlhagale of Bloemfontein, plans to include African pagan rites during the Mass is in response to the Vatican's invitation to "inculturate" Catholic rites.

Hearing that both priests and lay people were making such plans, an outraged Father Richard Welch, President of Human Life International, steamed, "In the letter to the Hebrews, Saint Paul discussed the Sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross with the following words: 'For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.Sacrifice and oblation thou would not.Behold, I come.He takes away the first, that he may establish that which follows.we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.'"

VATICAN CITY (AP) - The pope on Tuesday appointed the bishop of Las Vegas to take over a California diocese shaken by a scandal involving alleged sexual and financial wrongdoing by its former bishop. Bishop Daniel F. Walsh was transferred from Las Vegas to Santa Rosa, succeeding Bishop G. Patrick Ziemann, who was forced to resign in July. The appointment followed an apology by Ziemann in a letter read in Santa Rosa churches last weekend. "I acknowledge with deep regret my responsibility for the current state of affairs about which you are justly angry," Ziemann said in his first public comment since he resigned. After a priest filed a lawsuit claiming Ziemann had coerced him into sex, the bishop admitted to consensual sex with the priest and resigned. Interim administrators also discovered that Ziemann had misappropriated $16 million entrusted to the diocese by local churches and schools. Walsh, 62, a San Francisco native, has headed the Las Vegas diocese since its creation five years ago. No immediate successor in Las Vegas was announced.

11 nailed to crosses in bizarre Philippine ritual

SAN FERNANDO, Philippines (AFP) - - Ten men and a woman were nailed to wooden crosses here on Good Friday in a bizarre ritual held annually despite the disapproval of the mainstream Roman Catholic church. Several hundred local and foreign tourists watched under a hot sun as the 10 men, clad in white loincloths, and a woman in a white robe reenacted what the Bible describes as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago. The 11 staggered into a fenced-in knoll where neighbors dressed as Roman centurions awaited with wooden crosses, hammers and four-inch (10-centimetre) nails. Bus driver Chito Sangalang grimaced as the nails were driven into his palms and feet as he was nailed to a cross. The cross was hoisted aloft for the crowd to see before
Sangalang was taken down.

"It's amazing to see people sacrificing themselves for their sins," said American tourist Rey New, 40.

It was the 14th year Sangalang has been nailed to a cross. His brother Arnel was crucified for a seventh time along with eight other penitents. Aside from the crucifixions, dozens of penitents walked barefoot in the village of San Pedro Cutud, beating their bare backs bloody with sticks laced with broken glass.

The Roman Catholic church has frowned upon such expressions of fealty, but penitents reenact them annually to seek special favors from God such as the healing of a sick relative or the meeting of a financial need. "Faith is important, but let's not go to the extremes," Cardinal Jaime Sin, the highest-ranking church leader in the Philippines, has said. Spain brought Catholicism to this southeast Asian archipelago with the sword of colonial conquest in 1521, and the Philippines remains the lone major Catholic outpost in Asia with more than 50 million Catholics.

Pope John Paul II returns home to Rome

(IsraelWire-3/27) Pope John Paul II returned to Rome on Sunday night following a six-day tour of Israel and areas under the control of the PLO Authority (PA). The elderly pontiff visited Christian holy sites, as well as the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum and the Western Wall, where he placed a note asking for G-D's forgiveness for the church's treatment of Jews throughout history. The pontiff placed a note in the crevices of the wall which read, "G-d of our fathers, you chose Abraham and his descendants to bring your name to the nations. We are deeply saddened by the behavior of those who in the course of history have caused these children of yours to suffer." The note was later taken from the wall and it will go on display in the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. The pontiff also met with Israel's chief rabbis as well as Moslem clerics. On Sunday, the pope met with Grand Mufti Ikrema Sabri on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, where he called upon the church to assist in ending "Israel's occupation of Jerusalem." The pope also met with Faisal Husseini, who holds the PA's Jerusalem portfolio. Government and religious officials expressed satisfaction over the visit, stating the pope made definitive gestures to show good will following many years of frigid relations between the Roman Catholic Church and the State of Israel

Mar 3,2000 -- demonstrations against Pope John Paul II during his forthcoming visit to Israel could endanger Jews around the world, the Chief Rabbi of the Ashkenazi Jews, Israel Meir Lau, warned on Thursday. "The Pope's visit is not the right moment for demonstrations that could endanger millions of Jews around the world, particularly those in predominantly Catholic countries," Lau told Israeli public radio. "Demonstrations of this kind are not worth a single hair on the head of a Jewish child in countries such as Poland or in Latin America," he added

Lau, who presides over the Jewish community that originated from Europe, was responding to a demonstration by right-wing Jewish extremists against the Pope's visit. Baruch Marzel, leader of the banned anti-Arab Kach movement, has warned that everything will be done to sabotage the Pope's visit. But mainstream religious groups have also spoken out against the Pope's visit. Relations between the Vatican and Israel were only established in 1994 after centuries of enmity and suspicion. -By Andra Brack Jordan Times

Is it any wonder? Have you seen what they're planning on doing to those of us that preach the TRUTH about this Church in the USA? See this... nl000302.htm

The pope sits on the altar at Korazim, Israel. The backdrop depicts Christ with an open book that reads, "Love your enemies, I will come soon." However, the Biblical choice as children of God should be to proclaim, "REPENT! FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! To preach "Love your enemies" ALONE with the prophetic statement "I will come again soon"

is to preach we must concentrate on our relationships with each other OVER AND ABOVE our relationship with the Lord! ALSO, Notice the INVERTED CROSS of the Satanic Church that is VERY apparent on the THRONE of the Beast power itself! WHY an inverted cross in the Holy Land you ask? It is a Satanic show of FORCE unto the Kingdom of Heaven! Is not the Beast himself proclaiming his "so called" victory with such an open and blunt sign as an inverted cross in the land that Jesus Himself walked 2000 years ago? Typical! For I am sure that this same Satanic boldness was mustered the very day Rome placed the sign "Jesus King of the Jews" above the head of our Saviour on the cross to mock Him! And just like back then. The Devil is setting himself and ALL his deceived up for a deadly fall. For as surely as Jesus Christ arose from the tomb three days later to prove Satan's so called victory a LIE, Matthew 24:30 tells us that soon, "...shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

Priest to pay prostitutes to hear Gospel

CHICAGO, March 28 (UPI) - The Rev. Michael Pfleger wants to pay prostitutes to listen to the gospel. The South Side Catholic priest says parishioners passed the plate Sunday at St. Sabina's Church and raised about $2,000 to pay prostitutes their normal rate to join them to share religious faith. "It actually came out during the sermon last Sunday," Pfleger told WBBM-AM Tuesday. "I was speaking about our need to try radically new approaches to reach people." Pfleger said he challenged parishioners to stop spending money on workshops and to help people in need.

"During the sermon somebody looked up and said here's some money and they just started coming from all over the church and placing money on the altar." Pfleger said parishioners would give the prostitutes what they charge for an hour or a half hour, "whatever it is, if they will stand with three or four of us sharing our faith," - United Press International. All rights reserved.

Paying prostitutes for their services regardless if you use them sexually or not is CONDONING the sin they embrace! Did Jesus hand Mary Magdeline a few denari as He spoke unto her the Oracles of His Father? The Gospel is to draw them AWAY from the sin! Not reward them with the "mammon" they desire while IN the sin!

NEW YORK - Catholics are used to giving up meat on Fridays for Lent, but once or twice a decade, they are faced with a clash between tradition and religion: when St. Patrick's Day falls on a Friday, can they eat corned beef with a clear conscience? The answer this year depends more on geography than orthodoxy. The Archdiocese of New York has issued a traditional dispensation permitting its 2.5 million Catholics, who live in Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island and several upstate counties, to eat meat next Friday, in part because St. Patrick is the archdiocese's patron saint and his day is one of feast. "The application of a dispensation applies to the geographical region you happen to be in, not to you as a person," said David Early, a spokesman for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. In Fall River, Mass., Bishop Sean O'Malley has not issued a dispensation. But corned beef consumption will be allowed 50 miles away in Boston, where public school students even have March 17 off. Was he concerned about leading the flocks astray, with slabs of corned beef? "I think the man above them will look down at them, and St. Patrick himself, and say `Go ahead. It's a good day to get it,"' he said

From the Church that never changes? Such hypocrisy is apparent in the leaders of this church. One minute they claim it's sin to eat meat in the PAGAN time of Lent and the next minute it's ok?

Tue Mar 14,2000 -- A wind gust blew down the stage at Mount Korazim on which the Pope was to have stood to speak to some 100,000 people during his visit to Israel next week. The project administration at the prime minister's office, in charge of the preparations for the pope's visit, claims that the church representatives are responsible for the collapse, because they chose the contractor who built it. Church representatives at Mount Korizim say it is fortunate the stage collapsed now and not when the Pope was on it. Beyond that, they refused to comment.

Jeremiah 30:23, "Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked." This "wind" is merely a preamble to the plagues that will soon level Rome.

Pope's Apology too little,
too late for Victims of Roman Catholic Ethnic Cleansing

The recent apology by Pope John Paul II holds little weight with the heirs and few elderly survivors of one of the bloodiest chapters in the Roman Catholic Church, the 1941-1945 atrocities by the Croatian Nazis known as the Ustashe. In April 1941, multi-ethnic Yugoslavia fell to the Nazis who wasted no time in installing the fanatical Ante Pavelic's Catholic Ustashe in power in Croatia. With the blessing of the Roman Catholic Church and the active participation of clergy, especially Franciscan monks, the Ustashe killed 750,000 Serbs, Jews, and Roma in an orgy of violence that shocked even some of the Germans and revolted their Italian allies.
Survivors are now suing to recover hundreds of millions of dollars of property looted by the Croatian Nazis, converted to gold, and held by the Vatican Bank for safekeeping. Rumors had circulated about the fantastic wealth that allowed Croatian war criminals to escape justice and live lives of luxury in South America, Spain, and even California until a June 1998 US State Department report confirmed the story.
Serb and Jewish survivors have filed a class action lawsuit in San Francisco Federal Court seeking an accounting from the Vatican Bank and Franciscan Order. While the Vatican Bank has repeatedly denied their involvement, service of the lawsuit on the Franciscan Order took place in Oakland on Tuesday, March 15, appropriately upon a Croatian Franciscan priest, and on the Vatican Bank in Rome at noon on Friday, March 17.
According to Easton & Levy, California lawyers representing victims and their organizations, "the defendants' responses will put the Pope's apology to the test; will the Vatican continue to hide their past crimes under their cassocks, or face the truth of their past actions in the spirit of John Paul II?"

The original Complaint was filed November 15,1999 and the First Amended Complaint on January 21, 2000 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, C99-4941MMC.

Arrest For Curse On Pope;
Youths Throw Rocks At Palestinian Police

JERUSALEM (CWNews.com) - Israeli police on Wednesday arrested an ultra-Orthodox Jew for placing a death curse on Pope John Paul II,
similar to a curse placed on slain Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin before his assassination in 1995.       The suspect, Meir Baranes, has a criminal record, according to police who said he will be held under a court order until the end of the papal visit on Sunday. Baranes, and a fringe group of ultra-Orthodox Jews placed the curse on the Pope at a midnight rite at a cemetery in northern Israel, the official said.

      Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinian youths threw stones at Palestinian Authority police after the Holy Father visited a refugee camp today. Witnesses said police tried to push back curious onlookers and beat several of them with batons. In response, the crowd threw stones at the police, highlighting increasing discontent with PLO leader Yasser Arafat's rule.

      After the initial clash died down, others tried to smash the police barricades set up for the papal visit. Hundreds of protesters marched in the streets as demonstrators and police alike fired shots in the air.

The following Resolution was unanimously passed by the South Atlantic Presbytery of the Bible Presbyterian Church meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, March 25, 2000. The Resolution is as follows-

THE THREAT OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Whereas: The mass media has captivated the world with the activities of Pope John Paul II during his visit to the Holy Land in March 2000; and

Whereas: The Vatican and the Lutheran World Federation have signed, in October, 1999 a joint declaration of accord on the doctrine of justification (only the synods of Wisconsin and Missouri dissented); and

Whereas: In the middle of February, 200, PLO chairman Yasser Arafat met with Pope John Paul II at the vatican to sign an agreement regarding the future of Jerusalem that warned Israel against any unilateral decision affecting Jerusalem; and

Whereas: Bob Jones University has been unjustly slandered for anti-catholic bias by Senators McCain, Torricelli, Hollings and the liberal mass media; and

Whereas: The House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress has just appointed a Roman Catholic priest as its chaplain for the first time, March 23, 2000; and

Whereas: Pope John Paul II has declared the year 2000 a "Great Jubilee Year" for Roman Catholics that establishes the restoration of indulgences, THE VERY ISSUE THAT PROMPTED MARTIN LUTHER TO DRAFT THE 95 THESES IN OCTOBER OF 1517: papal spokesman Timothy Shugrue
states, "The indulgence is one of the spiritual privleges extended during Jubilee. It is a way of applying the merits of the good deeds of the saints and the Virgin Mary and CHrist Himself to the rest of us.";

Therefore: The South Atlantic Presbytery of the Bible Presbyterian Church, at its spring meeting in the Bible Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, N.C., March 25, 2000, resolves and warns the Roman Catholic Church, Mystery, Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth (Rev 17:5) constitutes the greatest threat to fundamental Christianity in the 21st century! The Roman Catholic Church has long since forsaken the Bible alone, Grace alone, faith alone, and Christ alone. There should be no confraternity with this apostate church in ministerial associations, community easter sunrise services, Thanksgiving services, mass evangelism or common social endeavors. We admonish devout believers to lovingly and
firmly win Roman Catholics to Christ and urge new converts to obey Rev. 18:4, "And I heard a another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sin, and that ye recieve not her plagues"

STREET IN BETHLEHEM NAMED AFTER JOHN PAUL II

BETHLEHEM, MAR 14 (ZENIT.org).- A street in Bethlehem will be named after John Paul II, in honor of his forthcoming visit to the Palestinian city of Jesus' birth. "We are ready for the great day of the Pope's arrival. The City Council decided that an important street of our city will be named after John Paul II, who within a few days will honor us with his visit," Hana Nasser, mayor of Bethlehem, said to "Al-Quds" newspaper of East Jerusalem. Bethlehem already has a street named after Paul VI, who visited this city and the Holy Land 36 years ago.

Such boldness! Not only does this cause hatred to spring up in the Jewish nation, but this also turns the stomach of every child who has the "Testimony of Jesus Christ" -Rev 19:10

Israel pressuring Vatican to cancel official welcome
by PA officialsWeekend News Today
By Andra Brack
Source: IsraelWire
Wed Feb 23,2000 -- Israel is applying pressure on the Vatican to cancel the planned official welcoming ceremony for Pope John Paul II in the PA on the Temple Mount. Officials in Jerusalem are concerned that the residents of the PA as well as PA leadership will take advantage of the situation to display signs of sovereignty in eastern Jerusalem in an attempt to embarrass Israel in the international community.
Israel has already been requested by the Vatican not to provide security agents for the pontiff while he tours eastern Jerusalem and officials in Jerusalem fear the PA will take advantage of this 'opening' and surround the pope with PA security agents.Something to watch? You better believe it

IRISH ONE MILLION ROSARY CAMPAIGN TO CONVERT PRO-ABORTION PROMOTERS

DUBLIN, FEB 10 (ZENIT).- Human Life International (Ireland) is promoting a "One Million Rosary Campaign" for the pro-life cause. "We all know individuals and organizations who promote abortion," stated Patrick McCrystal, HLI (Ireland) director. "Many of these people actually believe they are doing something good. These people need our prayers for the conversion of their hearts."

Organizers report that the first two weeks of the campaign have met with enormous response. HLI is providing calendar cards to participants, who will mark the days they say the rosary for the pro-life cause. Then the cards are mailed in every 3 months for tallying. The goal is a million rosaries during the Jubilee year. The campaign will end with a ceremony at the site of Marian apparition at Knock, Ireland.

"Organizations such as HLI (Ireland) will only bear great fruit if they place prayer as a first priority," explained McCrystal. "Everyone in Ireland needs to pray that we hold firm against the many attacks which seek to undermine the Catholic faith, the rights of the unborn, and family life." More details are available at http://www.iol.ie/~hlii/calendar.html .
ZE00021021

One million deceived souls praying to the dead looking to fight abortion? CoNfUsEd? Plus.. the Rosary? What does the Word say about the rosary?

Matthew 6:7, "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."

Shrines, places of conversion and of meeting with God
EWTN - "In his message, dated November 23, the Holy Father writes that if on the one hand, shrines "offer, to the faithful and to pilgrims, precious moments of contemplation, of verification, of vital interior renewal, they (also) constitute, for the less assiduous, or those in difficulty, or those who are searching, a providential chance to meet with God and a potent call to the sources of faith....John Paul II closes his message by expressing his thanks for the special attention given in sanctuaries "to the service of the sacrament of Reconciliation, also promoting the preparation of ministers. This is more than ever appropriate, especially for the occasion of the Great Jubilee 2000."

Exodus 20: "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand genereations of those who love me and keep my commandments."
"As we near the close of time, there will be greater and still greater external parade of heathen power; heathen deities will manifest their signal power, and will exhibit themselves before the cities of the world; and this delineation has already begun to be fufilled."

VACLAV HAVEL WILL DONATE VATICAN CHRISTMAS TREE

PRAGUE, NOV 26 (ZENIT).- Vaclav Havel, President of the Czech Republic, will travel to the Vatican on December 18 to meet with John Paul II and give him the gift of the traditional Christmas tree that will be placed in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, which on this occasion has been offered by Czech Catholics. Havel will also give a talk at the Pontifical Lateran University, during a symposium on Czech reformer Jan Hus, who was burnt alive in July of 1415. -ZE99112613

I wonder how many hours I can speak on the pagan facts concerning ChristMAS, especially in the area of the "pine tree?" See this page for overwhelming evidence that Christmas is NOT a Christian time of year... -click here-

Strange Meetings At The Vatican!

On the 13th day following the "blood" moon, comet and Mars opposition of Sunday, March 23rd, an unusual meeting was held at the Vatican in Rome. In attendance with the Pope were former President George Bush, the former Russian leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, and a former UN Secretary, Javier Perez de Cuellar. (14) The news reported that they were discussing the European Monetary Union and the Middle East. (15) An unconfirmed report indicates that they were meeting to plan the project of making Jerusalem the capital of the world. Here let it be noted that the day following the "blood" moon, comet and Mars display in the sky, it was announced that the Vatican powered up three new and large computers, which they named Raphael, Michael and Gabriel after three archangels. The Vatican announced that these three computers "will guide the Holy See as it navigates the information superhighway. (17) Here let it be noted that when the Pope signs his name, it is "DVX CLERI." If you add up the Roman numerals D=500, V=5, X=10, C=100, L=50, I=1, the total is 666, the mark of the beast

Jubilee Indulgences Possible for Migrants, Travelers
VATICAN (CWNews.com) --

Cardinal Baum-- who signed the decree in his capacity as head of the Apostolic Penitentiary-- explained how indulgences could be obtained. The faithful who are unable to travel to Rome or the Holy Land should make a perfect act of contrition, and have the firm intention to receive the sacrament of Penance and the Eucharist. With those intentions, they should then recite the Lord's Prayer and the Creed in front of a religious image, and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.

It's bad enough the Pope is solidifying all Catholics into believing "works" will get you to Heaven. He is also suggesting, " they should then recite the Lord's Prayer and the Creed in front of a religious image" According to COMMANDMENT #2 this is sin. However, did you notice in the Catechism of the Roman Church that the 2nd Commandment has been REMOVED? They can't keep that in there AND preach image worship. So... they removed it.

Pope to appear on phone cards
Updated 5:37 PM ET November 9, 1999
SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 9 (UPI) A Sarasota, Fla., firm said Tuesday it has received permission to market a series of prepaid long distance telephone cards carrying images of Pope John Paul II. May said the arrangement will be announced Thursday at Miami Beach, Fla. The Vatican would get $1 for each $10 card sold, and the money would go to the Forum of the Family, part of the Catholic Church's Jubilee 2000 celebration. A series of four cards, featuring different images of the pope, will be sold by convenience stores and local Catholic churches, and are scheduled for sale on the QVC shopping channel next year. May said churches and schools participating would also get from 30-45 percent of the proceeds. Four additional images will be issued later. The phone cards are a part of the church's strategy to raise funds. On trips to the United States in 1990s and in later promotions, the pope endorsed Christmas tree ornaments, T-shirts, caps, bottled water, fanny packs glow-in-the dark watches and CDs.

It appears obvious as to who the Pope embraces as his god. The almighty DOLLAR.

Luke 16:13, "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

Cardinal Hosius (Catholic, 1524), President of the Council of Trent:

"Were it not that the Baptists have been grievously tormented and cut off with the knife during the past twelve hundred years, they would swarm in greater number than all the Reformers." (Hosius, Letters, Apud Opera, pp. 112, 113.)

Keep this in mind all you Baptists, as well as any other denomination that was persecuted by this church of Rome. Keep this in mind when the Beast in Rome convinces your church leaders that he is a "friend" worthy of your ONE WORLD CHURCH embrace. Don't think it's possible? Need I remind you of October 31, 1999 when the Lutheran church BECOMES CATHOLIC? The very church that is responsible for the great reformation? The Lutheran church was the LAST church anyone would think would join with Rome. Yet... prophecy doesn't lie!

EX-PRIEST, SUCCESSFUL AUTHOR, DIES

Malachi Brendan Martin, a former priest and close associate of Pope John XXIII
who went on to write thrillers about the Roman Catholic Church, died Tuesday.
He was 78. Twice a Guggenheim Fellow, Martin's books ranged from a seminal work on the Dead Sea Scrolls to the best-selling "Hostage to the Devil," published in 1976 and billed as a real-life account of the possession and exorcism of five Americans.

"Thrillers?" This obviously biased excerpt proclaims what Malachi Martin DOCUMENTED as HISTORIC and BIBLICAL FACT as "Thrillers?"

EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS: "WE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THE LORD'S DAY"

VATICAN CITY, SEP 2, 1999 (VIS) - Made public today was a letter from the Holy Father to Archbishop Giuseppe Chiaretti of Perugia-Citta della Pieve, Italy, for the 4th Diocesan Eucharistic Congress, which will come to a
close on September 19 in Perugia.

The Pope recalls that "the theme (of the congress), 'We cannot live without the Lord's day', makes reference to the Apostolic Letter 'Dies Domini' concerning Sundays". He requests "that the faithful of Perugia-Citta della Pieve intensify with renewed enthusiasm the value and importance of the Sunday celebration, 'great school of charity, justice and peace'. May the meeting in prayer with God in the liturgy vitalize their apostolic commitment, lived with incessant thanksgiving to the Father, who is rich in mercy".

"It is my heartfelt wish that this Eucharistic Congress may cause the desire for sanctity to grow within the faithful of the entire diocese, an indispensable condition for an apostolic commitment capable of making a mark upon society. In fact, it is being most fittingly recalled during the various stages of the congress that, alongside a renewal in methods of pastoral care and in forms of evangelization, it is first of all necessary to arouse in the entire Christian community a true fervor for sanctity". JPII-LETTER/EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS/CHIARETTI

He just keeps pounding away at that breach in the wall!. No matter... the children of God will repair this breach made by the Beast just as prophecy states we will.

Isaiah 58:12-14, "And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."

This is the REAL Sabbath being spoken of here. Not the "SUNday" sabbath of Rome.

Pope Says Church To Seek Pardon For Past Errors

Updated 8:49 AM ET September 1, 1999
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope John Paul said Wednesday the Catholic Church would start a new page of its history in 2000 by publicly seeking forgiveness for the errors, injustices and human rights offences it committed in the past.

Speaking at his weekly general audience, the Pope did not specifically list the Church's past errors but previous Vatican documents have spoken of seeking forgiveness for its treatment of Jews, the Inquisition and human rights abuses.

Ok... Now I ask (again) Who was lying when they said FOR THE LAST FEW HUNDRED YEARS that the Roman Catholic Church never killed anyone? And let me ask again, does the Roman Catholic Church WITH its graphic history of LYING portray Jesus? Or Satan? This article proves one thing people. The Roman Catholic Church LIED to you, me, and EVERYONE else when they openly stated for hundreds of years that they had nothing to do with the Inquisitions. I wonder... How many Catholics would have left this church of hell had they known the truth THEN? Timing is everything eh? The time is "right" for what is planned as well!

VATICAN SENDS ENVOY TO VENICE FILM FESTIVAL

The Vatican for the first time sent an ambassador to the Venice Film Festival
on Saturday to promote its own spiritual cinema gala and make contacts among
Hollywood movie moguls.On the orders of Pope John Paul, Cardinal Paul Poupard swept around the festival in his black and red robes between visits to
filmmakers but said he wouldn't have time to mingle with the stars or see Kate
Winslet's new film "Holy Smoke." The Pope, a film buff himself, has asked Cardinal Poupard to forge friendships with the film world as he considers cinema to be one of the most important forms of communication today, a Vatican spokesman said.

The Venice festival has centered on a theme of sex this year, and opened with Stanley Kubrick's steamy thriller "Eyes Wide Shut." -CNN.com

It's no wonder the Pope would openly proclaim that the "cinema to be one of the most important forms of communication today..." If there is a multitude of sin apparent you can rest assured the Pope will embrace it and thereby deceive all those loyal Catholics that trust him into thinking the sewage of hell spewing from Hollywood is now sanctioned by the proven Whore of Babylon.

POPE PLEDGES Y2K
GESTURES TOWARD JEWS

By LINDA MASSARELLA

Pope John Paul II continued to extend an olive branch to Jews yesterday, promising that the Catholic Church would start the new millennium by publicly seeking forgiveness for forced conversions, as well as for its behavior during the Holocaust. -NYPOST.com

It appears the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION is looking to set up in the holy land again. It also appears this prophecy is about to be fulfilled. Just one more prophecy to add to the HUNDREDS that overwhelmingly prove the Roman Catholic Church is indeed the Beast of Revelation.
Daniel 11:45, "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."

Vatican Condemns Literal Interpretation of the Bible

VATICAN CITY, Italy - The Vatican criticized a literal interpretation of the Bible and said the fundamentalist approach to scripture was "a kind of intellectual suicide." A Vatican document said fundamentalism "refuses to admit that the inspired Word of God has been expressed in human language... by human authors possessed of limited capacities and resources." The 125-page document, The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church, was written by the Pontifical Biblical Com-mission, a group of scholars who assist the Pope in the study of scripture. It noted that a fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible had been gaining strength. The Vatican is increasingly concerned about the number of Catholics, especially in Latin America, who have abandoned the church for fast-growing fundamentalist sects. "The fundamentalist approach is dangerous, for it is attractive to people who look to the Bible for ready answers to the problems of life," the document said. Fundamentalism actually invites people to a kind of intellectual suicide." A fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible began during the Reformation, when Protestants showed an increasing concern for fidelity to the literal meaning of scripture. The document said fundamentalism refused to admit that there was a human element in the transmission of the Word of God. One member of the commission, Jesuit Father Joseph Fitzmyer, said fundamentalists failed to recognize that several years elapsed between the time Jesus spoke and the time when the gospels were written. "There was no stenographer, no one with a tape recorder on that time," said Fitzmyer. From The Star, 1994 Manila, Philippines -techplus.com

Did you notice..."The fundamentalist approach is dangerous, for it is attractive to people who look to the Bible for ready answers to the problems of life,"

Sounds like they are looking to belittle the Bibles they have been UNABLE to convince us to put down. The KJV perhaps? PLUS, in the same rancid breath they look to belittle the Almighty by suggesting He is unable to tell His children what to pen into the New Testament via His Holy Spirit. They confirm this through a JESUIT stating that "There was no stenographer, no one with a tape recorder on that time," It really gets my blood up when I see those with no faith whatsoever in a God so mighty trying to convince us by their LACK of faith in Him that their way is His will!

Card. Etchegaray to Represent Pope at bicentennial of Pontiff's Death

VATICAN CITY, AUG 24 (ZENIT).- On Sunday, August 29, there will be a special commemoration of the bicentennial of Pope Pius VI's death in the French city of Valence. John Paul II wrote a letter in Latin for the occasion, which will be presented by Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, his special envoy to the bicentennial. In the letter, Pius VI is described as a Pope "who governed Christ's Church with fidelity and wisdom," two centuries ago, and died in exile "praying for his enemies, after innumerable sufferings" and virtually 25 years in the papacy.

It is interesting to note that, when Napoleon Bonaparte occupied Rome and proclaimed the Roman Republic, Pius VI was deposed as temporal sovereign and deported to Sienna. Later he went to the Florence Carthusian monastery and finally, in 1799, to Valence, where he was declared a prisoner of State. He died a few weeks later, full of physical and moral sufferings. By order of Napoleon, his body was taken to Rome. Antonio Canova sculpted the famous statue of Pius VI that is in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

On the occasion of the commemoration of this Pontiff, John Paul II requested Cardinal Etchegaray to remember the "numerous afflictions he endured with strength of spirit," and to give his affectionate greetings to the faithful of Valence and "the whole French Catholic nation." The bicentennial is also an occasion to highlight the love and witness of so many sons of that nation, especially during the French Revolution, which took place precisely during Pius VI's pontificate, when they had to "endure violent persecutions because of the hatred of the Catholic religion," John Paul II said.

Napoleon prophetically and mortally WOUNDED the Vatican as prophecy stated would occur. (EXACTLY 1260 years after the RCC began) And now we see that the devil is having the Pope stand up in defiance to this prophetic act by stating in the face of every TRUE Christian that the wound is healed!

Revelation 13:3, "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."

Pope John Paul II Revives Inquisition
By Kathleen R. Hayes
Feb 1991, NRI Trumpet Page 3

Looks like Napoleon's victory is short lived. Yes, there is little time left indeed! Did you notice that they boldly proclaim that this "Holy Office" will "pacify some?" Sadly, there are those Christians out there that may fall to this "power" so as to be pacified. Pray for them, for theirs is a calling that has awesome opportunities to see the Almighty glorified!

JOHN PAUL II ON SECRET TO GET TO HEAVEN
Illuminating Terrestrial Life with Eternity

VATICAN CITY, AUG 11 (ZENIT).- After speaking about Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, John Paul II continued his weekly catechesis by responding to a logical question: If this is our destiny, how can we get to Heaven -- eternal life in the love of God? The answer was clear and to the point: by a Christian life.

"The whole of Christian life is like a great pilgrimage toward the Father's house; every day we discover His unconditional love for every human creature and, especially, for the 'prodigal son.' This pilgrimage affects a person in the most intimate recess of his being, and extends to the community of believers and eventually to the whole of humanity," the Holy Father explained. (emphasis added)

Return to the Future
The Pope arrived at the Vatican from Castel Gandolfo in a helicopter. He addressed some 10,000 people from all over the world, gathered in the Paul VI Audience Hall. "What the Christian will live one day in its fullness, in a certain sense is already anticipated. The Paschal Mystery of the Lord is the beginning of life of the hereafter."

John Paul II referred to Scripture in explaining his answer. He began with the Book of Exodus, where there is clear symbolic reference to man's journey toward the Father's house. In the New Testament, "the present life is already under the sign of salvation. This was accomplished with the event of Jesus of Nazareth, which culminates in the Paschal Mystery, but will only be fulfilled in Christ's final return, the 'Parousia.' "

Eternity in History
Therefore, Christian life "demands that wee keep our gaze fixed on on the end, on the Last Things, but, at the same time, that we be committed to 'penultimate' realities: there is no opposition between these and the eschatological end; rather, there is a relation of mutual enrichment," the Pope said.

It is important to purify human activity, which is always conditioned by sin. Consequently, "eternal light illuminates life and the whole of man's history on earth," John Paul II concluded.

Ephesians 2:8-10, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

According to this verse, the "good works" are a product OF becoming a Christian. Not a product TO becoming a Christian.

Group of Western Christians apologize for Crusades
May 2, 1999
Web posted at: 8:34 PM EDT (0034 GMT) -CNN.com

Crusaders marching through the Rhine Valley slaughtered Jews who refused to convert to Christianity and left a similar wake of destruction in Eastern Orthodox and Muslim centers along the way to their goal of liberating the region where Jesus lived from non-Christian rulers.

The Crusaders were urged forward by Roman Catholic leaders longing for the jewel of Jerusalem -- and seeking to consolidate recent political gains in Europe.

AGAIN the Roman Catholic Church ADMITS to the millions of deaths in the GREAT Tribulation period that Jesus spoke of and STILL many Catholics defend this church to this day as the church Jesus started?? Would Jesus condone torture and murder as a method of evangelization? If not then HOW can this be the Church that Jesus said "The gates of hell will not prevail against?" (Matthew 16:18) PLUS, notice this Biblical fact...

John 16:2-3, "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me."

Jesus is bluntly stating that those that KILL HIS FOLLOWERS, can in no way be of Hid Church siimplt because, "...they have not known the Father, nor me."

John Paul II Reaffirms Priestly Celibacy

VATICAN CITY, JUN 1 (ZENIT).- In his address to the Bishops of Cameroon, present in Rome for their visit "ad limina apostolorum," John Paul II took up the question of priestly celibacy, its reasons and its meaning. "Let your priests not be discouraged!" he began by saying, understanding that fidelity to the priestly vocation is not easy. "In contemporary
society there are many obstacles to faithfully living the commitments made on the day of ordination; there are also many obstacles that impede thinking of the priesthood as a service to God, the Church, and the world." In order to understand the priestly vocation, it is necessary to think of the priesthood as a "total gift of self." This total self-giving has its clearest expression in "celibacy, which is a grace from the Lord that all priests must make efforts to live," the Holy Father said.

What John Paul is actually reaffirming is that this is NOT the Church Jesus started. For it is plainly stated that... "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife..." (1 Timothy 3:2) The Bible is plain, if you desire the office of Bishop (Pastor) you CAN be married. In fact the Bible says it is BETTER to be married... "But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn." (1 Corinthians 7:9) Yet the pope INSISTS on celibacy? That way Catholicism can do one more thing. It can cause the priest to now burn with lust, and become so overwhelmed with lust that their outlets become graphic perversion. Hence, thousands of young boys are molested by Catholic priests.

International Meeting of Priests in Holy Land
A "Conversion" Initiative for Clergy in View of Year 2000

VATICAN CITY, MAY 31 (ZENIT).- In order to foster the spiritual dimension of the event among priests, the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy has organized the 4th International Meeting for Priests, to be held in the Holy Land from June 22-27. Clergy from all over the world will attend, in the spirit of the Holy Father's call for Jubilee conversion among all people -- even priests. From June 22-24 the participants will meet in Nazareth, and from June 25-27 in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The program for the first three days includes conferences, Eucharistic adoration, individual confession, and
testimonies. On June 25 and 26 there will be Masses and visits to Holy Places, and on Sunday, June 27 a solemn Mass with ordinations to the priesthood

Blasphemous priests in the Holy Land? Daniel 11:45 says, "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him." It won't be long now people...

NBC DATELINE 6-29-98 @ 9:00pm REPORTS:
Roman Catholic Church / School in Ft. Lauderdale Florida expelled all the children from the family of Mr & Mrs Anderson as well as excommunicate the Andersons from the Roman catholic church. Why? The Andersons did not want their Church to teach their children the aspects of "Masterbation & Homoexulaity" in their school curriculum along with other very objectional materials. The Andersons have tried for three years to get them to stop. They even tried holding a prayer vigil on the property of the Church. Their Roman catholic Church had the police remove them from the property for praying. The Andersons are actually very devout catholics. Mr and Mrs Anderson even participated in the Mass as Eucharistic ministers. And this is how they are treated because they choose not to allow their children to be taught things that sinful and very disgusting.

The president and the pope are among a long list of invitees who will be attending the Bilderberger's meeting in Portugal next week for all global "movers and shakers". So, the pope is honored enough to be considered among the global "movers and shakers". It makes one wonder. Can anyone see Jesus at that meeting??? Did Jesus ever get involved with the politics of His day. Did He ever join in with the political "movers and shakers" of that day??? Did He ever leave such an example? Did the apostles set this precedent??? NO! Because Jesus's kingdom is "not of this world." He didn't come to make changes in the political landscape. He came to change and dwell in individual hearts. That's what the apostles taught and lived. The papal power is both religious and political. It was not instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps the papacy is about to play a key role in this globalist agenda. Bet on it! The URL for the article is below. -worldnetdaily.com

A religious AND political power? How graphically accurate can you describe ANTICHRIST?

US nuns for hire in 'pray for pay' deal
BY DAMIAN WHITWORTH IN WASHINGTON

FEEL your relationship with the Almighty needs a little help? Worried that your busy schedule isn't leaving enough time for prayer? A religious order based in New Jersey may have the answer: hire your own nun. Under the scheme run by the Salesian Sisters, an annual donation ensures that a nun will pray for you every day. A minimum donation of $100 (£62) is suggested, but most of the 2,500 people who have signed up so far give considerably more. -the-times.co.uk

Kofi Annan Called to Vatican for Kosovo Talks
VATICAN (CWNews.com) -- Pope John Paul II has asked UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to come to the Vatican on Thursday, June 3, for a private discussion of the war in the Balkans.
Since the beginning of the Kosovo crisis, the Vatican has consistently supported efforts by the United Nations to find a negotiated solution to the crisis. On April 27, the Holy Father wrote to Annan to express the appreciation of the Holy See for UN peace efforts, and to encourage new initiatives to resolve the problem. "It is particularly urgent," he wrote, "that the law and institutions make themselves heard, and are not drowned out by the clash of weapons."

The June 3 meeting will be the latest in a series of Vatican efforts to stimulate the peace process. A Vatican statement indicated that the Pope would speak with the UN leader in order "to examine the situation and propose ways and means of resolving the crisis and building peace in the Balkans." The statement also said that the Pope would emphasize "the specific role given by the international community to the United Nations and its Secretary General."

Don't you think this is a good excuse to get both John Paul II and Annan to the Bilderberg meeting without rising suspicion?

ARETHA FRANKLIN PAYS HOMAGE TO POPE
Program to be Broadcast Tomorrow

WASHINGTON, D.C., JUN 28 (ZENIT).- Aretha Franklin and a soul choir have recorded the "Lord's Prayer" as part of the first series of programs prepared for the celebration of the Jubilee 2000. This tribute to the Pope will also be part of a program entitled "The Prodigal Son," produced in honor of the Holy Father's 79th birthday last May. The program will be shown live on the RAI television network tomorrow, June 29. Aretha Franklin, "the Queen of Soul," sang for the Pope once before -- in 1987, when he visited the city of Detroit.

Why would the "Lord's Prayer" be a tribute to the Pope? Because the Pope is convinced he is god! See additional proof here... "Words of a Beast"

Pope Seeks Change at Radio Station
Filed at 2:38 a.m. EDTJune 8, 1999

``Let Holy Mary, the star of new evangelization, guide your radio to meetings with new people and with new times,'' the pontiff said Monday in what appeared to be a call for the station to adopt a more progressive stance. -nytimes.com

The Pope claims MARY is the "Star of new evangelization?" This Pope has stated since day one of his office that Mary is his recipient of worship! A friend of this ministry put it ever so plain... "He has 'dedicated himself and his Pontificate to Our Lady.' He bears the letter "M" for Mary in his coat of arms. And his personal motto, which is embroidered on the side of his robes in Latin is the following: "TOTUS TUUS SUM MARIA", which in English translates to: "MARY, I'M ALL YOURS."

Fact is the Bible is plain! Jesus is the one we should preach!! Acts 5:42, "And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ."

REPEATING...Such power this Pope has! Revelation 13:3, "...and all the world wondered after the beast."

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Roman Catholic priest admits he shared a bed with an altar boy, but says he was asleep the whole time and cannot be guilty of sexually molesting the youth. Rev. Walter Coleman said in documents filed with the court that on the nights he slept with the 11-year-old boy, he was asleep "at all times." "I was not conscious of any such touching, and for that reason, I could not have consciously intended that alleged touching to have occurred for any purpose," Coleman stated. According to the lawsuit, Coleman molested the boy from 1978-1980. -newsday.com

What a WEAK defense! Can you just see this priest ACTING like he's a asleep so he can "touch" the little boy. COME ON ALREADY!! Who SLEEPS with an 11 year old boy??? Would not the "appearance of evil" tell this priest to sleep on the couch? It's so demonically STUPID of these priests to think that these little boys they molest are not going to grow up one day. Do YOU believe this alibi?

WORLDWIDE MEETING OF PRIESTS IN HOLY LAND
Moments of Prayer and Contact with Galilean Parishes

JERUSALEM, JUN 23 (ZENIT).- Over 600 priests from all the continents arrived in the Holy Land... One of the most meaningful moments was the reading of John Paul II's message. With his sight set on the third millennium, the Holy Father reaffirmed the priority of their vocational undertaking: "If the world cannot live without Christ, neither can it live without his priests."

VATICAN CITY, MAY 31 (ZENIT).- In order to foster the spiritual dimension of the event among priests, the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy has organized the 4th International Meeting for Priests, to be held in the Holy Land from June 22-27. Clergy from all over the world will attend, in the spirit of the Holy Father's call for Jubilee conversion among all people -- even priests. >From June 22-24 the participants will meet in Nazareth, and from June 25-27 in Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

On June 25 and 26 there will be Masses and visits to Holy Places, and on Sunday, June 27 a solemn Mass with ordinations to the priesthood

Roman Catholic priests in the Holy land. Look up the term "OXYMORONIC" in a dictionary to understand what happened here. Daniel 11:45 says, "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him." It won't be long now people...

John Paul II: Conscience of the world
'Even the Catholic Church can survive a great man'
by John Christensen
(CNN) CNN.COM--

Indeed, there are those who believe he is nothing less than "the man of the century. One of them is Jonathan Kwitney, whose "Man of the Century: The Life and Times of Pope John Paul II" was published in 1997. Another is writer George Weigel, who has written extensively about the pope and calls him "not simply the man of this century, but the prophet of the new millennium

The omnipresent papacy

While a conservative and champion of long-standing church traditions, he is also the most-traveled pope in history and very much a man of the world In his book, "Papal Power," Australian priest Paul Collins writes that by being so widely traveled -- 117 countries -- and in his use of television, the pope has created "an entirely new situation in church history: the seemingly omnipresent papacy." With the collapse of the Soviet empire and the subsequent visit of former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to Rome, says Moynihan, "the papacy reached a height of moral and political influence in the world."

Man of the century? Omnipresent papacy? Political AND religious? Fruits of ANTICHRIST?

A QUOTE FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR
Honest Abe Cites The Jesuits As Instigators In The Civil War

"This war would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits. We owe it to Popery that we now see our land reddened with the blood of her noblest sons. Though there were great differences of opinion between the South and North, on the question of slavery, neither Jeff Davis nor any one of the leading men of the Confederacy would have dared to attack the North, had they not relied on the promise of the Jesuits, that, under the mask of Democracy, the money and the arms of the Roman Catholics, even the arms of France, were at their disposal if they would attack us." Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, The Wickliffe Press, Protestant Truth Society, Wickliffe Avenue, 104 Hendon Lane, Finchley, London, N3., 1885, p. 388.
