Excuses and "Diversity" in Latin America
With people in Latin America leaving the Catholic Church for other churches, Rome has to come up with excuses other than the truth to explain this phenomenon. Such an example was seen in an Oct 5 'Zenit News Agency' article titled, "Cardinal Poupard Suggests Why Evangelicals Have Made Inroads."
Speaking at a meeting in Brazil, Poupard said one of the key causes of the growth of "fundamentalists" was, "Transnational economic and political interests."
"Transnational economic and political interests." That's a funny one! It seems that Cardinal Poupard is blaming Coca-Cola or the US government for the fact that people are leaving the Catholic Church!
He added:
"In this connection, SECTS (emphasis mine) are the earthly advance of the North American cultural model."
A few comments:
1. "SECTS." In North America the Catholic Church puts on a false face saying that Protestants are "separated brethren," and that yes, Protestants are "Christians, too" (but not quite as good as Catholics). However, where Rome is the dominant religion - the mask is off - and other churches are insultingly called "SECTS."
2. "Earthly advance of the North American cultural model." Some Americans dare come down to Latin America and share the truth of the bible! Instead of admitting that the Catholic Church has for 500 years brought a 'false christ' to Latin America, Poupard sows devilish seeds of doubt by saying American missionaries are doing nothing but bringing down a North American "cultural model."
3. "Cultural model." Speaking of "culture," the Catholic Church in North America keeps saying how wonderful "diversity" is - and that we can learn much from the Latin culture. BUT - in Latin America - they don't want any "diversity!"
Will the real Catholic Church please stand up? Or - is "diversity" only good for those NORTH of the Rio Grande?
No matter how much Cardinal Poupard and his church hate it, may Christ continue to ensure that the word of God is openly proclaimed in Latin America, that many be freed from the bondage of Rome, and receive the forgiveness of sins that comes through faith ALONE in Jesus Christ - no 'padres' needed!
