Deep Down - We All know That the Roman Clergy Does NOT Want People Reading the Bible

The Roman clergy loves to play the poor, mis-understood, and aggrieved innocents in plying their lying. Such an example is Bishop Sam Jacobs of Alexandria, Louisiana, in his May 16 article, "Word of God is Light on our Path."

"WITH AN IMPUDENT FACE" (Proverbs 7:13) he piously writes, "There seemed to have been some false understanding prior to the Council (Vatican II) that the Church discouraged the Catholic laity from reading the word of God."

There's no mis-understanding at all - 'His Excellency' is a liar, he doesn't want people reading the bible. I pray that bible believing Christians are not fooled by such syrupy and phony Roman "meekness."

The fourth session of the Council of Trent said of the Catholic Latin Vulgate bible, "no one is to dare, or presume to reject it under any pretext whatever," and, "it (the Council of Trent) decrees, that no one, relying on his own skill, shall...presume to interpret the said sacred scriptures contrary to the sense which holy mother Church...hath held and doth hold."

In the Council of Trent's "Rules Concerning Prohibited Books" chapter - stop!!! "Prohibited Books?" Doesn't that say it all?? Could it be the bible has been "Prohibited" by Rome? Section IV of this chapter says it is, "left to the judgment of the bishop or inquisitor, who may with the advice of the pastor or confessor permit the reading of the Sacred Books," and, "Those, however, who presume to read or possess them (bibles in a language people can understand, not Latin) without such permission may not receive absolution from their sins till they have handed them over to the ordinary."

Wow! Let's review this and take a quick quiz - Who would take away a person's bible:

A. Gestapo Officer.

B. KGB Commissar.

C. Catholic Bishop.

D. Islamic Imam.

E. Russian Orthodox Patriarch.

(Answer at bottom.)

After reading this, it's obvious Rome, "discouraged the Catholic laity from reading the word of God." The Roman clergy always have and always will hate the truth of the bible, because it exposes one of the greatest crimes against the Kingdom of God - the fraudulent and perverted Roman Catholic priesthood.

May Catholics repent and confess the sin of being in a church that hates the bible, forsake their false priests, and receive Christ by faith ALONE. Lord, we thank You for giving us the bible in spite of all Romish efforts to hide, distort, and corrupt it.

(Answer - although all choices hate the bible, the best choice is "C" - a Catholic bishop - like Sam Jacobs, for example.)
