The False Christ of Rome

Catholics worship a false and helpless Christ who sometimes needs assistance from Catholics! This was recounted in an article titled, "Miracle of the Eucharist, Siena, 1730," in the May, 2002, Catholic publication, 'Good Newsletter.'

In Siena, Italy, in 1730 a Roman Cathedral was broken into, and among the things stolen was a 'ciborium' (a chalice-like item) containing 348 consecrated wafers. Jesus (or is it 348 Jesus') was stolen - and the entire town was turned out to look for Him (or Them).

The article piously says that the people of Siena did not know if this theft was, "to desecrate and commit blasphemy against Our Defenseless Saviour." It also comments, "The Lord allows Himself to be vulnerable...He puts Himself entirely in our hands."

This reveals the actual Catholic view of Jesus - that He's defenseless, and, Catholics are not in His hands, but He is in Catholic hands! No wonder Catholics prefer going to Mary! Who'd want to bother asking the wimpy Catholic Jesus for anything?

The story continues, that three days later the wafers were found in the town poor box. But since three of the wafers had broken in half, there were now 351 wafers. At this point, the wafer-Jesus needed additional help - He was dirty! The article says, "When they found the...Hosts, they cleansed Them as carefully and thoroughly as possible." But the wafers were never eaten. The article speculates that, "They could have still been soiled from being in the poor box."

So, the Catholic Jesus has to be cleansed by men, but yet can still be too soiled for people to have anything to do with! This is Catholic wickedness. Jesus does not turn Himself into a wafer at the command of a Roman priest.

The real Jesus of the BIBLE is totally different than the false wafer-deity worshipped in Catholic churches. It is the pure and immaculate Christ who cleanses men! Revelation 1:5 says of the real Jesus, "UNTO HIM THAT LOVED US AND WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD." Pray that many Catholics repent of the sin of Catholicism, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
