Pope: Immigration a Great Way to Destroy the USA and Western Europe

The pope of Rome, in his July 25 letter, 'Message for the 88th World Day of Migration,' let slip a few statements about his beliefs that once again demonstrates why bible believing Protestants renounce the pope, "as Christ's enemy, and antichrist, and all his false doctrine," as Thomas Cranmer so aptly said in 1556, just before his murder at the hands of the Catholic Church for his refusal to worship a piece of bread.

The overall message of this letter is the "need" for inter-religious dialogue and support for continued massive illegal immigration into Europe and America.

Europe - because increased immigration will speed calls for a more powerful European Union, a supra-national organization the pope hopes to use to hound bible believing Protestants in Europe who dare teach the bible differently than him.

America - because it is not yet weakened and Catholic enough for him. Since the Catholic Church is never able to go out and get converts (except for the occasional person who grew up in a Protestant church, but has rejected Christ and instead thinks God is impressed with idolatry), the only way to get more Catholics into the USA is to bring them in from other countries.

The pope in this letter insults the work of the Holy Spirit by saying, "On the day of Pentecost, it was the Spirit of Truth who completed the divine design for the unity of mankind in the diversity of cultures AND RELIGIONS." (Emphasis mine). So, according to the pope, the Holy Spirit had a hand in, "the divine design," of other religions!

The pope must want his one-world religion so bad he can taste it!! But the truth is, God the Holy Spirit did NOT, "design," Wicca, Islam, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Buddhism, Mormonism, Voodoo, etc. Another spirit did.

The pope also denies the work of the Holy Spirit and instead deifies Mary by attributing to her the work of the Holy Spirit in teaching and witnessing. They don't call the pope, "the man of sin," for nothing! The pontiff writes, "May Mary...who knew the tribulations of migration and the trials of solitude and abandonment, teach us to give witness to the word who became life among us and for us."

But the BIBLE says it's the Holy Spirit Who will teach us and empower us to give witness of Christ. Jesus said in John 16:13, "HOWBEIT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH..." In 1 Corinthians 2:4, Paul decribes the source of his power in teaching, "AND MY SPEECH AND PREACHING WAS NOT WITH ENTICING WORDS OF MAN'S WISDOM, BUT IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER."

The BIBLE is very clear - it's the Holy Spirit Who teaches and empowers. We have a choice - to trust the pope who points to Mary for empowerment, or to look to God the Holy Spirit for empowerment, as taught by the BIBLE. I choose God the Holy Spirit and the BIBLE. I pray the Holy Spirit today draws many Catholics to repent of the sin of Romanism, and brings them to faith in Christ ALONE.
