From the Roman Spin Machine

The Roman propaganda apparatus continues to "spin" the news so that John Paul II comes out in a favourable light. One such example was found in the April 11 issue of the 'National Catholic Reporter,' in an article titled, "Pope Gets Credit for Averting Anti-Christian Backlash."

The article speaks about the lack of a Moslem backlash against Christians in other parts of the world since the Iraq war began. The article attributes this to, "The antiwar stance of the pope and other Christian leaders."

Mohammad Sammak, a Moslem and chair of a Moslem-Christian dialogue in Beirut, Lebanon, was quoted as saying, "Our relations with Christians have never been so cordial. The pope's stand is perhaps the primary reason why," and, "The Vatican's depiction of the war as both illegal and immoral has also been widely reported by local TV and newspapers."

Catholic bishop Andrew Francis of Pakistan said, "Both Christians and Muslims (Moslems) in Pakistan are grateful to the pope, and this has contributed to keeping the peace."

The pope was against the US-UK move into Iraq not because he cares for Iraqis (whether one or one million Iraqis die is of no concern to the pope), but because he saw the war as putting a roadblock in the way of his desire to bring Islam into the ecumenical bed with the Roman whore. So the pope, master deceiver that he is, will take events as they have unfolded, and still twist them around to his own nefarious ends.

We shouldn't be surprised at this - popes have been twisting the good news of the bible for centuries! They are very practiced in this "art."

Satan's two most powerful human tools on earth are Roman Catholicism and Islam, and he is using all these globalist cries for "peace" as a phony front to cover his real intention - the forging of Romanism and Islam into one mighty instrument to be used against bible believing Christians who will not submit to the Christ-rejecting "peace" and world religion that the pope has in mind.

May Christ open the eyes of many Christians to see that Rome is not a "Christian denomination," but a mortal enemy of those who dare trust in Christ ALONE for salvation.

Roman Priests Playing it Safe When Forgiving Sins

The SARS virus is forcing the Catholic priesthood to mock the work of Christ more so than normal. This was reported in a Rueters April 9 story titled, "SARS Forces Catholics to Halt Confessions."

The article reports, "The Roman Catholic Church has suspended confessions in Singapore due to the spread of the deadly SARS virus and priests will instead forgive all churchgoers for their sins...There will be no individual confessions and...they are to issue general forgiveness."

Singapore Archbishop Nicholas Chia said, "I have obtained permission from Rome for our priests to grant general absolution instead of individual confessions and absolutions."

This episode exposes the fact that the Roman priesthood and its claim to be able to forgive sins is nothing but a mockery of Christ's suffering on the cross. Christ was beaten, whipped, and then put on a cross to pay for our sins. Isaiah 53:4 says, "SURELY HE HATH BORNE OUR GRIEFS, AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS: YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM STRICKEN, SMITTEN OF GOD, AND AFFLICTED."

Jesus Christ had to endure the cross to be able to forgive sins, yet mere creatures, these priestly imposters, feel they can safely stand back, wave their fat, soft hands and say, "I absolve thee." Does anything rob Christ of His glory more than the Roman priesthood? I trow not!

Catholic teaching calls every priest an 'alter Christus,' in English - 'another Christ.' But the book that gives Catholic priests indigestion, the bible, says in Matthew 8:17b, "HIMSELF (Christ) TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES, AND BARE OUR SICKNESSES." It appears that these Catholic Christ-impersonators in Singapore are falling a little short!

May the Spirit of our Lord show many people that every Catholic priest is really a 'falsus Christus,' a 'false Christ.' May many Catholics reject their priestly hireling, and receive the real Christ by faith ALONE.

Who Will Pay for the Pervert?

The Diocese of San Bernardino, California, is suing the Archdiocese of Boston for transferring pervert priest Paul Shanley to California in 1990 without informing the San Bernardino hierarchy of Shanley's previous pedophile tendencies. This was reported April 2 in 'The Boston Globe' article titled, "Calif. Diocese Sues Boston Archdiocese."

The San Bernardino diocese is being sued for an amount that may go as high as $12 million by a young man who claims Shanley molested him in the 1990's. San Bernardino priest Howard Lincoln, speaking of why the Boston archdiocese was being sued said, "We should not have to pay for Boston's mistakes."

Futhermore, they accuse, "Catholic officials in Boston of engaging in 'misrepresentations and suppression of information' as well as 'active misconduct and negligence' in hiding the background of Shanley, who has been accused of molesting boys since 1967."

'Father' Lincoln was also quoted as saying this lawsuit against the Boston archdiocese will be a, "Means (of) allowing members of the church to take responsibility for their actions."

Question - When does a Catholic diocese become concerned about the "responsibility" for perverted priests who have been protected for years? Answer - When a $12 million lawsuit can be dumped on someone else!!

May our Lord continue to expose the wicked nature of the Roman religion, may He grant many Catholics repentance from the sin of Catholicism, so that they may receive the gift of faith in Christ ALONE.
