The Pope Tells the Truth, For Once

Sometimes the Catholic Church DOES tell the truth – although it is purely accidental. Such an example was seen in the title of a March 12 'Vatican Information Service' article. The title was:

"Burn With Love for Eucharist and Mary, Pope Tells Marians."

The pope is right!! Catholics will burn – for all eternity in hell for their worship of wafers and Mary.

Ole JP II has declared 2005 as a "Year of the Eucharist," so Catholics all over the place are falling over themselves worshipping wafers this year.

One example of this popish idolatry was seen at a Cincinnati, Ohio Catholic high school. This was reported in the March 18 issue of 'The Catholic Telegraph,' in an article titled, "Experiencing the Power of His Presence."

At a youth conference, a priest "re-enacted" the story of the woman healed when she touched Jesus' garment (Matt 9:20-22, Mark 5:22-34, Luke 8:43-48). To quote from the article:

"A powerful moment in the gathering occurred...when the Eucharistic prayer and healing service was conducted. The Gospel of the woman who touches the hem of Jesus' garment was read, then, in the hands of a priest, Jesus present in a monstrance passed slowly through the crowd of youths who had an opportunity to touch the 'hem' of Jesus' garment themselves."

But – the re-enactment wasn't QUITE complete – the article made NO mention of anyone being healed!

Wicked Roman priesthood! Telling young people they can "touch the 'hem' of Jesus" by touching an item containing a wafer. What horrible priestly deception! The only "power" these children "experienced" was a little idolatry!

Instead of 2005 being the pope's year of wafer-worship, may God's Spirit convict many Catholics of the sin of wafer-idolatry. May they repent of the sin of being a Catholic, forsake Rome forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins.
