Rome and Islam - Still Shacking Up

The Roman Catholic Church continues to deny Jesus Christ. Another example of this was found in a Dec 30 article titled, "Muslim-Catholic Dialogue on West Coast Issues Report on Spirituality," published by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Chaired by Bishop Carlos Sevilla, SJ, Yakima, Washington, Dr Muzammil Siddiqi, Director of the Islamic Society of Orange County (California), and Imam Mustafa Al-Qazwini, Director of the Islamic Education Center of Orange County, west coast Moslems and Catholics have been meeting for the past four years.

To quote from the article, the purpose of the meetings has been to provide:

"A window of opportunity to develop a better understanding of one another as individuals, as religious peoples, and as companions on the journey that leads to God."

The above statement can be read two ways:

1. If Moslems can be on a journey to God, why should we bother with Jesus Christ at all?

2. In a way, this statement is true - Moslems and Catholics are "on a journey to God" - but it's a journey to judgment!

The Koran says in Surah 3:85:

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the hereafter he will be one of the losers."

Real believers in Jesus Christ will have nothing to do with Islam because it's very plain what the Koran teaches. But then, Catholics are not real believers in Jesus Christ.

One activity at these Moslem-Catholic meetings was, "Reading and interpreting the New Testament and the Our'an (Koran) together." Hmmmm......The Catholic bishops seem to have ignored Surah 3:61 of the Koran which says:

"Jesus, being a slave of Allah, and having no share in divinity."

The US Catholic Bishops deny Christ by saying they are "companions" of those who say Christ is "a slave of Allah," and that He is not divine.

By its fornication with Islam, Catholicism again shows itself to be a religious whore. May Christ protect bible believing Christians from the Roman harlot and all her ecumenical paramours.

Catholic "Facts"

Since the bible doesn't say a lot about Mary, Rome is always looking for ways to expand on her life. One such attempt was found in the Dec 12 issue of 'The Criterion,' the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Indiana, in an article titled, "This Child is our Savior, Messiah, and Lord."

The article purports to be a newly found letter written by Luke, with additional details on the life of Mary. Now, this "letter" DOES have a small disclaimer at the beginning saying:

"The following news story and accompanying letter are fictional, but the facts in the letter are true."

Yes, they are admitting such a letter really doesn't exist. But - are the "facts in the letter true" as the archdiocese claims?? Reporting on the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary, this "letter" says:

"Mary said that she asked the angel how that (her conceiving a child) could be because she had taken a vow of virginity."

Interesting......But by testing the Indianapolis archdiocese versus what the bible says, we find that "the facts in the letter" are NOT TRUE!! Speaking of Gabriel's visit to Mary, the real Luke writes in Luke 1:27: "TO A VIRGIN ESPOUSED TO A MAN WHOSE NAME WAS JOSEPH, OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID, AND THE VIRGIN'S NAME WAS MARY."

So - Why would Mary have taken a "vow of virginity," and then have been espoused to Joseph?? According to this Catholic fabrication, the Roman "Mary" must have told Joseph BEFORE Gabriel came, "We're getting married, but I've taken a vow of virginity." This is absurd.

Catholics need to open their bibles and start checking out the "facts" Rome teaches them. May God grant many Catholics repentance from the false "Virgin-Goddess" worship of Romanism, bring them out of the Catholic Church, and may they receive Christ by faith ALONE.

Receiving "Christ" Can Give You the Flu

The Roman Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Gallup, New Mexico has suspended its practice of Catholics partaking of the Roman wine-christ due to this winter's flu outbreak. This was reported in a Dec 15 'Catholic News Service' article titled, "Flu Outbreak Prompts Parish to Suspend Use of Shared Communion Cup."

However, Rome always has another trick up its sleeve, so - the wafer-christ will still be available for Catholics to worship and eat.

The article did not say if priests and deacons will be handling the wafers wearing those hygienically safe rubber gloves.

What kind of a god is "safer in a wafer?" The Roman god!

Jesus Christ does NOT turn Himself into wine, let alone wine infected with flu virus, nor does He allow Himself to become wafers at the command of mere men. Please pray daily that many Catholics repent of this idolatry, flee the Roman Church forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.

"Which Mass is This?"

This is the question Catholics who normally attend a Sunday evening Mass had better ask this Sunday, Dec 7, because according to Catholic doctrine, it could mean, "The loss of heaven and the pains of hell."

Monday Dec 8 is the Roman feast of the "Immaculate Conception" - a holy day of obligation for all Catholics.

This "obligation" can be fulfilled Sunday evening, Dec 7, but ONLY if the local priest sets it up as a Mass for the "Immaculate Conception." Catholics had better beware - because if the priest says the Sunday evening Mass is a "Second Sunday of Advent" Mass, the holy day of obligation is NOT fulfilled!

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania diocese is warning Catholics about this in the Dec 5 issue of the 'Pittsburgh Catholic,' in an article titled, "Church to Mark Solemnity of Immaculate Conception." The article said:

"This needs to be made clear to the people well in advance of the celebration. The Catholic faithful participating in the Mass on Sunday evening cannot count the Mass as fulfilling the obligation both for Mass on the second Sunday of Advent and the Immaculate Conception, a holy day of obligation."

This is another example of the man-made system that Romanism is: Two people can be at two different Masses on a Sunday evening - one person at Mass for the "Immaculate Conception," and the other person at Mass for the "Second Sunday of Advent." If both don't attend Mass on Dec 8, according to Catholic teaching, the person who attended the "Second Sunday of Advent" Mass has committed a mortal sin and lost his salvation.

Roman Catholicism - man-made rules for a man-made church. May Christ open the eyes of many people to see that the Roman Catholic Church is in fact - antichrist.

The Smell of Catholicism

The Roman Church loves to glorify people who induce and maintain self-wounds. The latest example was that recently sainted Italian priest Francesco Forgione, better known by his alias, 'Padre Pio.'

In the Christmas 2003 issue of 'The Goodnewsletter,' the life of another Catholic psychosomatic was examined in an article titled, "St. Rita of Cascia: Pierced by the Cross."

Rita was an Italian nun in the 1400s. One day while praying before a fresco of the crucified Christ, the article says, "A thorn fell from the Beloved Head of our Savior and pierced the forehead of St. Rita...She immediately began to bleed profusely, and the wound that kept bleeding has been accepted by all as the gift of the Stigmata of our Lord."

But - Rita had a problem. Unlike others with the stigmata, Rita's wound did not smell nice! The article continued:

"The wound had such a pungent, putrid odor emanating from it that she had to suffer the ostracism and rejection of her fellow nuns who at best, feared it might be infectious and, at worst, could not bear the smell."

In 1450 Rita wanted to make a pilgrimage to Rome, but feared for her smelly forehead! So she prayed for her forehead to be temporarily healed, and 'voila' it was healed. She went on the pilgrimage, and when she got back to the monastery, lo and behold, "Not five minutes passed when the wound opened, with all the accompanying signs."

(And please, this is NOT at all like Paul's thorn in the flesh of 2 Corinthians 12. Paul prayed for it to go away, not for it to be temporarily and conveniently "healed." The truth is Rita had a grievous sore that she picked at and nurtured each day.)

After her death, supposedly this spot on her forehead smelled much nicer, and looked like, "A ruby spot, like a kiss."

Only in Catholicism, with its perverse interest in dead bodies and body parts, would a body smell nicer after death than before! May God protect us from the stench of Romanism.
