Hurry Now Before “Treasury of Merits” Slams Shut Again

Although it’s an ever-diminishing number these days, there are Protestants who still know that a mysterious thing called indulgences had something to do with the start of the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century.  But of those who do know this, many of them are under the impression that indulgences are a relic of earlier, less enlightened times, and that they are hardly ever, if ever, mentioned within Roman Catholic circles nowadays.

How wrong they are, as the Roman pope, Benedict XVI, showed to all the world in 2012… Continue reading

Rowan Williams United Anglicanism and Paganism…and That Was Just for Starters

The dual priesthood of Rowan Williams: Anglican priest/archbishop, Druid priest

  In late 2012 Rowan Williams, the Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, announced that he would be retiring, after a decade at the helm as spiritual leader of the world’s Anglicans (numbering something like 85 million souls).  Anglicanism was in an appalling state long before Williams took over, but under his leadership it sunk to greater lows than ever.  To call the Anglican institution a true Christian church is to utter a falsehood, and that there are men, professing to be Christians and evangelicals, who actually do so, is disgraceful.  It cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be accepted as a church.  It is an utterly false religious institution masquerading as a Christian church, just like its mother, the Roman Catholic institution (Rev. 17:5).

Babies Stolen and Sold by Spanish Priests and Nuns

Babies Stolen and Sold by Spanish Priests and Nuns, PDF format

Just when we think we’ve heard it all about the abominable deeds of the Papacy, something else is exposed to remind us that we’ve never plumbed the depths of this religious system’s depravity…

In October 2011 an investigation revealed that in Spain, up to 300 000 babies were stolen from their parents and sold for adoption over a period of fifty years.  Now such a revelation is shocking enough on its own.  But what makes this crime infinitely worse, is that this massive, criminal baby-stealing racket was carried on, not just by doctors and nurses, but by priests and nuns of the “Church” of Rome!

Assisi 2011: The Papacy’ s Interfaith Abomination

Assisi 2011: The Papacy’ s Interfaith Abomination, PDF format

Introduction

In 1986 the pope of Rome, John Paul II, held a massive interfaith gathering in Assisi, Italy, billed as a “World Day of Prayer for Peace”.  It was attended by representatives of many religions of the world.  And back then, a quarter of a century ago in the wake of this momentous gathering, I wrote the following in  the Bible Based Ministries Newsletter:  “On October 27, members of different religions came together at Assisi, birthplace of Roman Catholic ‘saint’ Francis, for a day of prayer.  This was at the instigation of the pope.  Around the world, three governments and guerillas in 11 lands held a 24-hour truce.  12 religions were represented, and prayed for peace.

The Vatican and the Occupy Movement

In 2009 I published an article entitled The Pope of Rome Calls for a World Government.[1]  To properly understand the present article, it would be useful to read that earlier article again, for the information covered there has direct reference to what is going to be said here.  That article was an analysis of a major encyclical (papal treatise) published by the Roman pope, Benedict XVI, in June 2009.

The Whitewashing of Stepinac: Monster-Cardinal of Croatia

The_Whitewashing_of_Stepinac, PDF format

During his visit to Croatia in June this year, the pope of Rome, Benedict XVI, prayed at the tomb of Alojzije Stepinac, a Croatian Roman Catholic cardinal who was archbishop of Zagreb from 1937 to 1960. And he encouraged Croatian Roman Catholics to look to Stepinac, who has been declared “Blessed” by the Papacy, as a model “of apostolic zeal and Christian fortitude.”

At first glance, most would see nothing remarkable, and certainly nothing sinister, in this. But they would be very, very mistaken. Who was this man, Stepinac? Continue reading

“Blessed” or Cursed John Paul II? His Papal Beatification

Blessed_or_Cursed_John_Paul_II, PDF format

The previous pope of Rome, John Paul II, was beatified on the 1st May by his successor, Benedict XVI, in a lavish and globally-visible ceremony at the Vatican, six years after his death on the 2nd April 2005.  It was, in the words of the director of the Vatican newspaper, “a historic event which has no precedent.”  Internationally, Roman Catholics welcomed the beatification, and informally he was already being called, by Roman Catholics and many others, “Pope John Paul the Great.” Continue reading

A Brazen Claim that Rome had a Role in the KJV

A_Brazen_Claim_that_Rome_had_a_Role_in_the_KJV, PDF format

This really – really – takes the cake.  A travelling Bible exhibit, called “Passages”, which is set to open in the Vatican in October, claims that the Roman Catholic institution made a significant contribution to the production of the King James Version of 1611, the most accurate and faithful Bible version of all time and the Protestant Bible!
