I. DEFINITIONS

 

“Ad Hominem [Attack]” (per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of ETI & TTT): “An ‘ad hominem attack’ occurs when one attacks his opponent’s character, background, past sins or indiscretions, associations, intelligence, scholarship, etc., rather than honestly debating the topic or subject of discussion, writing, etc. This has frequently been the standard ‘tactic’ used by so-called ‘liberals’, ‘social engineers’, secret societies, cults, etc. – and by those attempting to defend the unscriptural, man-made doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church! It is the old ‘attack the MESSENGER’ rather than honestly debate the MESSAGE. Some folks call it ‘character assassination’.”

 

“Anti-Catholic” or “Catholic Bashing” (per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of ETI & TTT): “Two ‘labels’ that, for the most part, are applied, usually by Roman Catholics, to any and all who dare to point out any of the following:

(1.) Papal Rome’s and the Jesuit Order’s tremendous geopolitical power and influence in the world – and in the United States of America;

(2.) Papal Rome’s and the Jesuit Order’s centuries-long and well-documented history of fomenting and orchestrating bloody revolutions and wars;

(3.) Papal Rome’s centuries-long and well-documented history of having suppressed the possession and study of the Holy Bible by the common people in their own native language (which included burning Bibles and Bible-believers);

(4.) Papal Rome’s centuries-long and well-documented history of torture, Inquisition, ‘holy’ wars, and ‘holy’ crusades against innocent Bible-believing Christians (such as the Albigensian Christians and the Waldensian Christians);

(5.) Papal Rome’s centuries-long and well-documented history of hating and brutally persecuting Jews, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians, (e.g., the Vatican’s religious genocide in the early 1940s against Serb Orthodox Christians in Fascist Croatia, where from 600,000 to 1 million men, women, elderly, and children were tortured and murdered by Roman Catholic Ustashi military units that were frequently led by Roman Catholic priests, friars, and monks);

(6.) Papal Rome’s and the Jesuit Order’s well-documented history of planning and carrying out the assassination of heads of State (e.g., President Abraham Lincoln, King Henry III and King Henry IV of France, Czar Alexander I and Czar Alexander II of Russia, and President Benito Pablo Juarez of Mexico, etc.);

(7.) The well-documented history of Papal Rome’s support of totalitarian police states (such as Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Fascist Croatia) during World War II; and her helping Fascist war criminals to escape after that war;

(8.) The tremendous and nearly incalculable wealth (banks, stock holdings, property, gold, etc.) of the Roman Catholic Church;

(9.) Control of the top levels of Freemasonry by the Roman Catholic Jesuit Order;

(10.) The heavy-duty infiltration (and control) of the top intelligence agencies in the world (e.g., CIA, Mossad, Russian KGB [now called the FSB & SVR], and British Intelligence) by the JESUITS (through their Knights of Malta, Jesuit ‘temporal coadjutors’, and high-level Freemasons); and,

(11.) The fact that many Roman Catholic doctrines and practices are man-made and unscriptural – with some being derived from ancient pagan religions.

 

II. OPENING QUOTATIONS

 

            “The United States is in MORE DANGER TODAY than she has ever been. A secret terrorist organization has been working within to DESTROY America, its Constitution, and everything for which she stands. This book gives all the details, and shows how far this terrorist organization has been able to progress in the DESTRUCTION of America.” – Back Cover of the book, “The Secret Terrorists” (2002), by author Bill Hughes

 

Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: When author Bill Hughes uses the term “terrorist organization” in the above quote, he is referring to Papal Rome – and, more specifically, to the infamous Jesuit Order that controls the Roman Catholic Church. (Information on how to order this book will be given later in this article.)

 

            “When freedom is at stake, silence is NOT golden – it is YELLOW [Ed.: i.e., cowardly].” – Tom Anderson (Writer; “Straight Talk” newsletter)

 

            “Men and women become ACCOMPLICES to those evils they fail to oppose.” – (Author of this quote is unknown to Editor of ETI & TTT)

 

“We are told to love one another as Christ has loved us. Pop psychology trivializes that command by equating it with a ‘positive’ attitude. Forgotten is the first duty of love: to SPEAK THE TRUTH (Ephesians 4:15). Real love does NOT flatter or soothe when correction is needed but [rather] POINTS OUT THE ERROR which is blinding and harming the loved one. Christ said, ‘As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous, therefore, and repent’ (Revelation 3:19). Instead, the idea is now current that love EXCLUDES rebuke, IGNORES the truth, and seeks unity AT ANY PRICE. Only DISASTER can result.” – Dave Hunt (“A Woman Rides the Beast”; 1994; Page 403)

 

            “Although many of us have been taught it is NOT polite to discuss religion and politics in public, we must quickly unlearn that lesson. Our collective failure to challenge presuppositions, think anew, and openly debate central religious concerns affecting society is a recipe for DISASTER.” – Charles Kimball (“When Religion Becomes Evil”; 2002; Page 7)

 

Ed. Comment: “Seeking unity at any price” and failing to “openly debate central religious concerns affecting society” will result in “DISASTER”!

 

            “Let us dare to read, think, speak and write.” – John Adams (1735-1826; 2nd President of the United States; statement made in 1765)

 

III. INTRODUCTION

 

For far too long, far too many of us have FAILED to loudly and clearly SPEAK OUT concerning the following  “tough issues” and “tough topics”:

 

(1) Papal Rome’s bloody history of torture, mass murder (via “holy” Inquisition, “holy” crusades, and religious genocide), assassination of heads of State (e.g., President Abraham Lincoln and Mexican President Benito Pablo Juarez), and fomenting of bloody revolutions and wars;

 

(2) Papal Rome’s immense and astounding financial wealth, which for centuries has enabled her to help finance “crusades”, various “liberation” movements, revolutions, and even large-scale wars;

 

(3) Papal Rome’s political machinations and subversion of governments – especially her subversion of “popular, representative governments”;

 

(4) Papal Rome’s love of Fascist and other totalitarian regimes (e.g., Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Croatia during World War II);

 

(5) Papal Rome’s hatred of religious liberty, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, and “popular, representative government”;

 

(6) Papal Rome’s instigation and backing of three secret meetings held in the 19th century (i.e., the Congress of Vienna, Austria in 1814-15; the meetings at Verona, Italy in 1822; and high-level Jesuit meetings at Chieri, Italy in 1825) where the DESTRUCTION of the American Constitutional Republic was PLANNED;

 

(7) Papal Rome’s hatred of “separation of Church and State”; and,

 

(8) Papal Rome’s numerous unscriptural doctrines and practices that contradict the Holy Bible, and that are based upon man-made traditions. These unscriptural doctrines and practices include, but are not limited to, the following: “transubstantiation”, “indulgences”, “purgatory”, “Mass cards and prayers for the dead”, “papal infallibility”, “worship of images”, “mandatory celibacy for priests and nuns”, “auricular confession to an authorized priest”, “apostolic succession”, and various aspects of Papal Rome’s “Mariolatry”.

 

            Our collective FAILURE to speak out on the “tough issues” and “tough topics” listed immediately above must come to an end! Our freedoms are “hanging by a thread” – as is the American Constitutional Republic! We MUST speak out loudly and clearly now, identifying whom the #1 ENEMY to religious liberty, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, and “popular, representative government” really is! (This #1 ENEMY is PAPAL ROME – the entity that this writer has labeled as the “Vatican-Papacy-Jesuit-Knights of Malta cabal” – and it is the BIGGEST PROMOTER of one-world government and one-world religion, both of which are to be run from “behind the scenes” by the JESUIT-controlled Papacy! This cabal is BY FAR the most powerful and wealthy geopolitical-financial-religious “player” on the New World Order “chessboard”!)

 

            Many people FAIL to SPEAK OUT for FEAR of “offending” other people. However, we must all realize that TRUTH is far more important than the “disturbing” of anyone’s “comfort zone”!

 

IV. THREE INTERESTING QUOTES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:

 

            Please consider the following two quotations, both of which were taken from Dr. Loraine Boettner’s 466-page book “Roman Catholicism” (1962):

 

A. INTERESTING QUOTE #1 (with some editorial comments)

 

            “The time has come to put aside ‘FALSE tolerance’ and to let the world know the facts about Romanism [Ed: i.e., the doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church]. The public has been duped too long, and it MUST be given the facts that it may know [Ed.: i.e., LEARN] what is true Christianity and what is falsely so called. BEFORE the true Christian doctrines of the evangelical faith can be accepted, the false and unscriptural doctrines of Romanism MUST be bluntly exposed and its superstitions destroyed. Protestants [Ed.: and independent Bible-believing Christians] MUST be made to see the GREAT DANGER that threatens them. The [Roman Catholic] hierarchy makes no secret of the fact that it is out to ‘Make America Catholic’. The Knights of Columbus, at the direction of the [Ed.: Roman Catholic] hierarchy, spend MILLIONS of dollars for propaganda in newspaper and magazine advertising. The [Ed.: Roman Catholic] hierarchy seeks to gain control, and to a remarkable degree is gaining control, by placing its agents in KEY positions in the government, the press, radio, television, movies, education, and labor movements, all over the nation. And for the most part Protestants [Ed.: and independent Bible-believing Christians] are FAST ASLEEP!

            We MUST, therefore, be prepared to ENGAGE in CONTROVERSY. We possess a priceless heritage in Protestant America – ‘the American dream’, as some here have termed it; the ‘Golden Land’, as some in other countries call it – something God has given us, not something formulated in the minds of men. The Scriptures exhort us to ‘contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints’ (Jude 3). We MUST carry the battle to our adversaries. NOT ONE Roman Catholic in a hundred, priest or layman, knows the TRUE STORY of his own church. They are forbidden to read the truth. What they are given under the name of ‘Catholic Truth’ is a gross perversion of theology, church history, science, and secular history. There are millions of Roman Catholics who were born and raised in that church but who find its doctrines of Mariolatry and papal dominance REPUGNANT to the Scriptures, to common sense, and to all the concepts of freedom and democracy. There are millions [Ed.: of Roman Catholics] who haven’t been to Mass for years and who are quite ready to say that they do not believe the doctrines of their church. Many of these CAN be won to the [true] Gospel [of Jesus Christ]. Yet they are almost completely IGNORED, or even shunned, by Protestants [Ed.: and also by many independent Bible-believing Christians].” – Dr. Loraine Boettner (“Roman Catholicism”; 1962; Pages 450 and 451)

 

Ed. Comments to the preceding quote:

 

(1) Most of us, if we are honest with ourselves, must admit that for much of our lives we have been COWARDS when it has come to telling the HARD TRUTH to Roman Catholics about the unscriptural doctrines and practices of their church, and about Papal Rome’s BLOODY history of Inquisition and genocide against Jews, Moslems, Protestants, independent Bible-believing groups, and Orthodox Christians. (If you have any doubts about Papal Rome’s bloody history, then please read the newsletter, “Bloody Hands & Wicked Hearts”, on Internet website www.toughissues.org.) We also have be RELUCTANT to speak out about Papal Rome’s HATRED of religious liberty, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, and “popular, representative government”. (If you have any doubts about Papal Rome’s HATRED of religious liberty and the freedoms we Americans hold so dear, then please read the newsletter, “Papal Rome’s Hatred of Liberty”, on Internet website www.toughissues.org.)

 

(2) We do Roman Catholics NO FAVOR by being SILENT about these CONTROVERSIAL “tough issues” and “tough topics” concerning Papal Rome.

 

(3) Papal Rome, I believe, has ALREADY “gained control” of America, and this can especially be detected when one looks at America’s mainstream media (and even much of the so-called “alternative media”). Please carefully consider this: If “the Jews” control Hollywood and America’s mainstream media (as ALLEGED by much of the so-called “alternative media”), then WHY IN BLAZES aren’t Hollywood and America’s mainstream media telling us all about the BIGGEST MASS MURDERER of Jews in the past 1000 plus years? And WHY aren’t Hollywood and America’s mainstream media telling us all about Papal Rome’s involvement in planning the DESTRUCTION of the American Constitutional Republic in three secret meetings in the 19th century; her involvement in helping to foment the American Civil War of 1861-1865, and then backing the Confederate States of America during that war; her involvement in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, which included helping one arch conspirator (i.e., John Harrison Surratt) in the Lincoln assassination to escape to Rome, etc.? And WHY do Hollywood and America’s mainstream media give such “good press” to the pope of Rome if they are indeed controlled by “the Jews”? Three examples of this American mainstream media “love affair” with Papal Rome are: (a.) the numerous times the Roman Pontiff has been named “man of the year” in various U.S. newsmagazines; (b.) the numerous articles on the Blessed Mary that have appeared in mainstream newsmagazines; and, (c.) the recent TV documentary on Pope John Paul II that came very close to “deifying” him. Indeed, none of these things would make much sense if “the Jews” really controlled Hollywood and America’s mainstream media. However, it all makes quite a bit of sense if it is really PAPAL ROME who is doing the “controlling” of Hollywood and America’s mainstream media! Of course, Papal Rome places some JESUIT-controlled Jews (a.k.a. “court Jews”) in prominent positions to make it “LOOK LIKE” “the Jews” are running Hollywood and the mainstream media – i.e., to give Hollywood and the mainstream media a “Jewish flavor”.

 

(4) One of the primary means that Papal Rome uses to “Make America Catholic” is heavy immigration into the USA from countries whose population is predominantly ROMAN CATHOLIC. Lately, this has taken the form of heavy “ILLEGAL” immigration into the USA from Mexico and from other parts of Latin America. (The majority of these “illegals”, of course, are Roman Catholic!) Interestingly, the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church on BOTH sides of the U.S. border with Mexico have been massively “aiding and abetting” this ILLEGAL immigration, even helping to organize demonstrations against any U.S. legislation that would restrict [this predominantly Roman Catholic] ILLEGAL immigration from the Mexican side of our border! (You can read a very interesting and informative article on this topic, entitled “Romanizing America Through Illegal Immigration”, on Internet website www.ctwilcox.com.)

 

B. INTERESTING QUOTE #2 (with some editorial comments)

 

            Here is the second quote that was taken from Dr. Loraine Boettner’s book “Roman Catholicism” (1962). This quote is found on page 451, and was anonymously authored by one who signed himself “a former Jesuit trainee”:

 

            “When [Ed.: German Reformer Martin] Luther rang the tocsin bell [Ed.: i.e., alarm bell], thousands of disillusioned [Ed.: Roman] Catholic believers of his day rallied to him. They came OUT OF the [Ed.: Roman Catholic] church by the thousands – nuns, priests, monks, [and] lay people. Early Protestantism didn’t hesitate to say exactly where, when, and how they thought the pope had ERRED in interpreting the Bible. They did not hesitate to CONDEMN the Vatican’s amoral politics, and its greed for gold. Thousands of [Ed.: Roman] Catholics listened and followed the Protestant Reformers. More thousands would have [Ed.: left the Roman Catholic Church] had not the [Ed.: Roman Catholic] church used the power of the State to THREATEN with DEATH all ‘heretics’ within Italy, Spain, and other areas. Only RUTHLESS USE of the SWORD saved [Ed.: Papal] Rome.

            The Roman [Ed.: Catholic] Church in free America OUGHT to be CHALLENGED by Protestants [Ed.: and by ALL Bible-believing Christians] to defend her dogmas, particularly her bigoted assertion that she ALONE is the true church of Christ. The type of bigotry which is taught in [Ed.: Roman] Catholic parochial schools should be CASTIGATED as a positive SUBVERSION of America’s heritage of freedom – which it is.

            If the Roman Catholic Church were COMPELLED to engage in [Ed.: fair and open] debate in the free forum of ideas, if her communicants were regularly presented with the Protestant side of issues as well as the Catholic, [Ed.: then] she [Ed.: i.e., the Roman Catholic Church] would soon be on the defensive. It [Ed.: i.e., Roman Catholicism] CANNOT hold the minds of its adherents if they are given freedom of choice… [Ed.: Papal] Rome would lose adherents by the MILLIONS in free America if she had to [Ed.: openly and fully] defend her dogmas.” – “A Former Jesuit Trainee” (“Christianity Today”, October 28, 1957)

 

Ed. Comments to the preceding quote:

 

(1) We must not forget that many of the “Protestant” Reformers were originally devout Roman Catholics who first tried to reform their church from within, e.g. Martin Luther! Luther was an Augustinian monk when he first challenged the selling of “indulgences” by the Roman Catholic Church. (The sale of indulgences was a lucrative moneymaking scheme that helped to fill Papal Rome’s coffers.) Sadly, Papal Rome has almost always RESISTED any attempt at internal “reform”, either silencing (through threats) or murdering those godly Roman Catholics who were pleading for “reform”. A good example of Papal Rome’s murder of a godly Roman Catholic: the Italian Dominican Savonarola, whom Pope Alexander VI caused to be executed in 1498 A.D. for the “crime” of denouncing his CORRUPT papal court. Papal Rome has never hesitated to murder those godly Roman Catholics who have “dared” to challenge her unscriptural doctrines and practices – or her corruption!

 

(2) Roman Catholicism cannot defend its unscriptural doctrines and practices on a “level playing field”, because the Bible clearly contradicts many of her doctrines and practices! And Papal Rome cannot allow any open and fair debate about her well-documented bloody history of Inquisition, “holy” crusades, and religious genocide throughout the centuries. As French statesman Baron DePonnat stated in 1940: “Roman Catholicism was born in BLOOD, has wallowed in BLOOD, has quenched its thirst in BLOOD, and it is in letters of BLOOD that its true history is written.” Rather than honestly and fairly debating these “tough issues”, Papal Rome instead has frequently resorted to “the stake” and “the sword” in order to SILENCE her critics. A perfect example of this is Papal Rome’s “Inquisition”, where she brutally tortured thousands upon thousands of innocent human beings. After torturing these poor innocents (which included many women), Papal Rome then turned them over to the State for execution! The “execution” often took the form of “slow roasting” alive at the stake! And that is one of the main reasons why our founding fathers wanted to keep Church and State “SEPARATE”!

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have not seen the 58-minute color DVD, entitled “The Inquisition”, then you absolutely need to obtain a copy of it – it is only $6 postage paid. To order a copy, please make check or money order in that amount payable to “Richard Bennett”, and mail it to: Richard Bennett // P.O. Box 192 // Del Valle, TX 78617-0192. (Their website is www.bereanbeacon.org.)

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not have a copy of Dr. Loraine Boettner’s book, “Roman Catholicism” (1962), then I recommend that you purchase a copy. It is only $15 postage paid. To order a copy, please make check or money order in that amount payable to “The Conversion Center”, and mail it to: The Conversion Center // P.O. Box 265 // Carthage, NC 28327-0265. (It is a great witnessing “tool” to give or loan out to Roman Catholics! It shows the vast differences between (1) Roman Catholic man-made doctrines and practices and (2) what is clearly taught in the Holy Bible.)

 

C. INTERESTING QUOTE #3

 

“Probably no phase of our life is in greater need of CANDID DISCUSSION than the relationship of the Roman Catholic Church to American institutions, and certainly no important factor in our life has been more consistently NEGLECTED by responsible writers.

            …The policy of MUTUAL SILENCE about religious differences is a reasonable policy in matters of personal faith; but when it comes to matters of POLITICAL, medical and educational principle, SILENCE may be directly CONTRARY to public welfare. When a church…attempts to control the judgment of its own people (and of other people) on foreign affairs, social hygiene, public education and modern science, it MUST be RECKONED with as an organ of POLITICAL and CULTURAL POWER. …The [Roman] Catholic problem as I see it is not primarily a religious problem: it is an INSTITUTIONAL and POLITICAL problem. It is a matter of the USE and ABUSE of POWER by an organization that is NOT ONLY a church but a STATE within a state, and a STATE above a state.

            …These things should be talked about freely because they are too important to be ignored. Yet it must be admitted that millions of Americans are AFRAID to talk about them frankly and openly. Part of the RELUCTANCE to speak comes from FEAR, FEAR of [Roman] Catholic reprisals. …The [Roman] Catholic hierarchy in this country has GREAT POWER as a pressure group, and NO editor, politician, publisher, merchant or motion-picture producer [Ed.: or broadcast host] can express defiance openly – or publicize documented facts [Ed.: such as the well-documented facts concerning Papal Rome’s bloody history] – without risking his future.” – Paul Blanchard (“American Freedom and Catholic Power”; 1949; The Beacon Press, Boston, 1950; Pages 3 and 4)

 

V. SEVERAL QUOTES BY THE REFORMERS AND ABOUT THE REFORMERS (and about a few courageous men who followed in their footsteps)

 

            “We here are of the conviction that the PAPACY is the seat of the true and real ANTICHRIST.” – Martin Luther (1483-1546; German theologian and religious reformer; former Roman Catholic Augustinian monk)

 

 “[The POPE is] the very ANTICHRIST, and ‘SON OF PERDITION’, of whom [Ed.: the Apostle] Paul speaks.” – John Knox (1505-1572; Scottish Protestant clergyman and religious reformer)

 

“[The POPE is] the PRETENDED ‘Vicar of Christ’ on earth, who sits AS God over the Temple of God [Ed.: i.e., over the body of believers in Christ], EXALTING HIMSELF not only above all that is called God, but [Ed.: also exalting himself] over the souls and consciences of all his vassals, yea over the Spirit of Christ, over the Holy Spirit, yea, and God Himself…speaking against the God of heaven, thinking to change times and laws; but he is the ‘SON OF PERDITION’ (II Thessalonians 2).” – Roger Williams (1603-1683; English clergyman and colonist in America; founder of Rhode Island – considered the first Baptist pastor in America)

 

            “He [Ed.: i.e., the POPE] is in an emphatic sense, ‘the MAN OF SIN’, as he increases all manner of sin above measure. And he [Ed.: i.e., the POPE] is, too, properly styled ‘the SON OF PERDITION’, as he has caused the death of numberless multitudes, both of his opposers and followers. …He it is…that ‘exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped’ [II Thessalonians 2:4]…claiming the highest power and highest honor…claiming the prerogatives which belong to God alone.” – John Wesley (1703-1791; English clergyman and evangelist; the founder of Methodism)

 

            “John Wycliffe in England, Martin Luther in Germany, John Calvin in France, John Knox in Scotland, Ulrich Zwingli in Switzerland, and countless others, all preached that the humble Nazarene was the Christ and that the proud ROMAN PAPACY was the ANTICHRIST of [Holy] Scripture. As a result of this high-impact, double-edged message – for Christ and against antichrist – the river of history literally changed its course. Hundreds of thousands of people in Europe and England FORSOOK the Roman [Catholic] Church.” – Steve Wohlberg (“End Time DELUSIONS”; 2004; Page 112)

 

            “[John] Wycliffe, [William] Tyndale, [Martin] Luther, [John] Calvin, [Thomas] Cranmer; in the seventeenth century, [John] Bunyan, the translators of the King James Bible and the men who published the Westminster and Baptist confessions of Faith; Sir Isaac Newton, [John] Wesley, [George] Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards; and more recently [Charles Haddon] Spurgeon, Bishop J.C. Ryle and Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones; these men, among countless others, all saw the office of the PAPACY as the ANTICHRIST.” – Michael de Semlyen (“All Roads Lead to Rome?”; 1993; Pages 197 and 198)

 

Ed. Comment to the six preceding quotations: If you would like more information of the subject of the “Antichrist”, then please read “The Real Antichrist” and “Vicarius Filii Dei” on website www.toughissues.org. There is also an excellent 220-page paperback book, “End Time DELUSIONS”, by Steve Wohlberg, that deals with the topic of the identity of the “antichrist”. You can order a copy via credit card for $18.90 (postage paid) by calling 1-800-78-BIBLE.

 

VI. EERIE “PARALLELS” BETWEEN RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF CHRIST’S DAY AND LEADERS OF PAPAL ROME

 

            Each year as I study through the entire Bible, I notice many Bible passages whose words apply just as much to the proud, pompous religious leaders of Papal Rome as they did when they were spoken about, or to, the proud, pompous religious leaders of Christ’s day! By the way, Jesus Christ called the scribes and Pharisees (who were the religious leaders of a major sect) such names as “hypocrites”, “blind guides”, “fools”, “whited sepulchers”, “serpents”, and “generation of vipers” – see Matthew chapter 23. Indeed, there seem to be quite a few PARALLELS between the religious leaders of Papal Rome and the religious leaders of Christ’s day. Here are but a few examples:

 

(1.) Jesus Christ overthrew the moneychangers’ tables in the Temple (see Matthew 21:12), because they were “buying and selling” in “God’s House”, and probably also because they were grossly overcharging (i.e., for currency conversion) those pilgrims who came to Jerusalem to worship at the Temple. Jesus Christ told them: “It is written, ‘My house shall be called the house of prayer’; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:13) Some of these religious leaders were involved in running this moneymaking enterprise in the Temple, and they didn’t like the upsetting of their moneychangers’ tables! Papal Rome likewise has preyed upon her adherents through such unscriptural practices as the sale of “indulgences” and “Mass cards for the dead”. (The unscriptural Roman Catholic doctrine of “purgatory” has got to be one of the greatest moneymaking schemes ever devised!) And Papal Rome does NOT like it at all when anyone points out her unscriptural moneymaking practices!

 

(2.) Jesus Christ castigated the Pharisees (leaders of one of the major religious sects of His day) for their exaltation of their oral (man-made) TRADITION over Scripture. Jesus Christ told these religious leaders: “Full well ye REJECT the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own TRADITION.” (Mark 7:9) Jesus Christ also told these religious leaders: “Well hath Esaias [Ed.: Greek for Isaiah] prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honoreth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men’.” (Mark 7:6, 7) Papal Rome LIKEWISE has exalted many of her unscriptural, oral (man-made) traditions over God’s Holy Word, e.g., “purgatory”, “mandatory celibacy for priests and nuns”, and “auricular confession to an authorized priest”. In other words, these doctrines and practices of Papal Rome are totally CONTRARY to the clear teachings of the Holy Bible!

 

(3.) The religious leaders of Christ’s day not only “LOBBIED” to have the [Roman] State authorities crucify Jesus Christ, but these religious leaders also viciously persecuted Christ’s followers, e.g., Stephen (the first Christian martyr). Papal Rome LIKEWISE has (through its “LOBBYING” of the State) frequently and viciously persecuted, tortured, and murdered Bible-believing Christians throughout her BLOODY history, e.g., Papal Rome’s EXTERMINATION of the entire population of Bible-believing Albigensian Christians – INNOCENT men, women, and children – in southern France in the early 13th century! In fact, Papal Rome has a nasty (and frequent and regular) HABIT of collaborating with the State (i.e., “Church and State”) in order to EXTERMINATE her enemies, real or perceived. One of the worst examples of this is the Papal INQUISITION, which “officially” ran for 605 years (from 1203 to 1808 A.D.). Papal Rome’s brutal “Inquisition” was one of the greatest “crimes against humanity” ever visited upon the people of planet Earth! (By the way, the “Office of Inquisition” STILL exists to this very day; however, its name has been changed to the much sweeter-sounding “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith”. The current pope, Benedict XVI – the former Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger – served multiple terms at the head of this “office” prior to becoming pope in 2005!)

 

VII. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SILENT ABOUT PAPAL ROME?

 

            I believe the following are the main reasons why so many folks are SILENT concerning Papal Rome’s unscriptural doctrines and practices – and about her bloody history:

 

1. COWARDICE & FEAR: Yes, most of us are SCARED TO DEATH of being labeled “intolerant”, a “bigot”, a “hater”, “anti-Catholic”, or a “Catholic basher”. After all, Papal Rome’s favorite tactic, when she is challenged, is to resort to “ad hominem” attacks with heavy doses of name-calling and character assassination, all the while refusing to HONESTLY debate the “tough issues” and “tough topics” concerning her history, practices, and doctrines. For some folks in the mainstream and “alternative” media, the reason for their “silence” concerning Papal Rome is their FEAR of losing financial supporters and radio stations – or of being “thrown off” a particular network.

 

2. IGNORANCE: This is a factor for many folks, since we Americans are, for the most part, “challenged” on our knowledge of the Holy Bible, and also extremely “history-challenged” (i.e., “challenged” concerning not only American history, but also “challenged” concerning ancient history, European history, world history, and “Church” history). But sometimes our “ignorance” may be a DELIBERATE CHOICE. Please consider this very insightful quote by Canadian Wilson Ewin that was taken from page 25 of his book, “You Can Lead Roman Catholics to Christ” (1981): “Inability to discern the paganism of Romanism [Ed.: i.e., Roman Catholicism] springs undoubtedly from a deep spiritual blindness. Disturbing enough, this would speak of a fundamental IGNORANCE of the Gospel of Jesus Christ itself on the part of many claiming to be Christians.

            Perhaps for the majority, IGNORANCE of the Vatican constitution merely stems from a simple lack of being informed. For too many, however, IGNORANCE of popedom [i.e., the system of Papal Rome] comes as the result of a DELIBERATE CHOICE. It grew in preference for ACCEPTABILITY, PERSONAL BENEFIT, and the PRAISE OF MEN.

            To have squarely faced the issue of [Ed.: Roman] Catholicism with frankness and sincerity of heart, the individual would have paid a PRICE. It COST [Ed.: many of] the reformers and other MILLIONS their very LIVES…”

THE DESIRE FOR FRIENDSHIP AND ACCEPTABILITY WITH THE WORLD: Yes, we all LIKE to be “liked”, to be thought of as a “nice guy” (or as a “nice lady”), and to appear to “men” to be “tolerant” of others in “controversial” matters, such as differences in religion. Yet this type of behavior brings to my mind the following Bible verse: “For they loved the praise of MEN MORE THAN the praise of GOD.” (John 12:43)

 

4. SOME PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WORKING FOR THE “OTHER SIDE”: Yes, some of the people in the “patriot movement” and in the “alternative media” must surely be on the “payroll” of the “Vatican-Papacy-Jesuit-Knights of Malta cabal”. They must surely be “nicely compensated” for their efforts to SUPPRESS any discussion of Papal Rome, and/or to propagate the erroneous supposition that “the Jews” are running the “New World Order”, international banking, Hollywood, America’s mainstream media, and the U.S. government. Some of them are what the French call “Jesuits of the short robe” – i.e., they are Jesuit “temporal coadjutors” – and these coadjutors can be of ANY religion!

 

5. THE DESIRE FOR “UNITY” AT ANY COST: “We must have unity” is a phrase that one hears frequently – i.e., we will never be able to “defeat” the “New World Order” UNLESS we have “unity”. In other words, we absolutely must not “offend” Roman Catholics by pointing out that Papal Rome is the top geopolitical-financial-religious “player” on the New World Order “chessboard”. I would like to point out two things about this “need for unity” that keeps some folks from discussing Papal Rome’s involvement in pushing for a one-world government and a one-world religion (both of which are to be run by the JESUIT-controlled Papacy):

 

(a.) We do NOBODY – not Roman Catholic Americans nor non-Roman Catholic Americans – a FAVOR by remaining SILENT on this critical “tough topic”. How in blazes can most Americans get involved in helping to thwart the plans of a powerful and wealthy “enemy”, who is working hard to implement the plans “she” made to DESTROY our Constitutional Republic long ago, if they do NOT even know WHO “she” is – or HOW “she” operates? (The “she”, of course, is Papal Rome!)

 

(b.) I do NOT find anywhere in the Holy Bible where God HAD to use a “majority” of folks in order to win any of the battles that we find in the Bible! God used Gideon and ONLY 300 men to win a great military victory against a vastly superior military force of Midianites (see Judges 7:1-22). Also, Prince Jonathan (one of King Saul’s sons) and his (i.e., Jonathan’s) armor-bearer (i.e., ONLY two men) slew approximately 20 Philistine soldiers who were manning a Philistine garrison (see I Samuel 14:1-14).

 

            Author Donald Gillies, in his book “Unity in the Dark”, said: “We have NO warrant from God to support one EVIL in order to destroy another. [Ed.: The southern kingdom of] Judah was severely rebuked by the Lord for doing exactly this – seeking help against Assyria from the old enemy Egypt.”

 

If any non-Roman Catholic American, who is fighting to stop the “New World Order” (i.e., one-world government and one-world religion), thinks that his Roman Catholic friends who are members of Opus Dei and the Knights of Columbus will be on his side WHEN we come under full-blown martial law, then he had better reconsider that assumption. Why is this so? It is because the VAST MAJORITY of those who are members of Opus Dei and the Knights of Columbus (and other Roman Catholic orders such as the Knights of Malta) will follow their Church’s leadership – and their Church’s leadership is working NOT to oppose, but rather to help BRING ABOUT, one-world government and one-world religion (under the control of Papal Rome). In other words, the loyalty of many of these individuals is NOT to the U.S. Constitution and to the American people, but rather their loyalty is to the leadership of Papal Rome!

 

All we need to do in order to find precedence for such Roman Catholic “betrayal of freedom” is to look at Nazi Germany in the 1930s, where the Roman Catholic Center Party HELPED Adolf Hitler to achieve full dictatorial powers when it voted unanimously for the “Enabling Act” of 1933 – on the orders of the Center Party’s leadership (who had gotten their orders from the highest levels of Papal Rome’s leadership)! And there is even more precedence concerning Roman Catholic “betrayal of one’s country” that we can examine (which occurred during World War II in various countries in Europe such as France and Yugoslavia), where powerful and influential Roman Catholics living within those countries BETRAYED their own governments and people (i.e., their own countries) when those countries were invaded – because PAPAL ROME was SUPPORTING the Fascist elements within those countries! Will it be different here in America when our U.S. Constitution is trashed under the boots of a totalitarian Police State? And which “side” will most powerful and influential American Roman Catholics support – “the side that loves freedom” or “the Papal Rome-sponsored Police State”?

 

NOTE: If you would like more information concerning “powerful and influential Roman Catholics BETRAYING their own countries to the forces of Fascism and Nazism just prior to, and during, World War II”, then I recommend that you get a copy of Edmond Paris’ 206-page paperback book, “The Secret History of the Jesuits”. You can purchase a copy for $11.35 (postage paid) via credit card by calling “Chick Publications” at 1-909-987-0771.

 

 VIII. FINAL THOUGHTS

 

            The early “Reformers”, the majority of whom were originally ROMAN CATHOLICS, and who initially tried to reform the Roman Catholic Church from WITHIN, risked their lives to bring us the religious liberty, freedom of conscience, and freedom of speech that we Americans enjoy today. Will we Americans (who are alive today) FAIL to maintain these freedoms for following generations because we were AFRAID to “offend” American Roman Catholics by telling them the TRUTH about Papal Rome? Will we FAIL to “sound the trumpet” and to give a “clear warning” to our fellow countrymen concerning the GRAVE DANGER that freedom-hating Papal Rome poses to the American Constitutional Republic?

 

            The Holy Bible teaches that we ALL will one day stand before God’s judgment, and will be required to give an “account” for what we have said and done – and also for what we have FAILED to say and do (that we SHOULD have said and done)!

 

            I will close this article with three quotations and three short passages from the Bible that should challenge us to stand for TRUTH and to expose error:

 

(1.) “Truth is violated by falsehood, but it is outraged by silence.” – Henri-Frederic Amiel (1821-1881; Swiss writer and philosopher)

 

(2.) “At ‘Mission To Catholics’ we are convinced that it is NOT ‘love’ to withhold the truth from those in darkness. Roman Catholics need to be challenged to think about what they believe and to study the Bible, comparing their ‘religion’ with the truth of Scripture. Only then can they experience the freedom and light of God’s truth.” – Bartholomew F. Brewer (Ex-Roman Catholic priest of the Discalced Carmelite Order)

 

(3.) “The United States must soon face the MOST DEADLY ENEMY it will ever have to face. This enemy [Ed.: i.e., Papal Rome]…has the organization and the capability for massive espionage and clandestine operations within the United States. It uses a façade [Ed.: its religious institution] that is virtually perfect to HIDE its operations. In fact, right now, this enemy is working SECRETLY to undermine the principles that made this country the greatest nation in the world. This enemy has infiltrated the highest levels and departments of the U.S. government, and poses an extreme danger to America.” – Bill Hughes (“The Secret Terrorists”; 2002; Page 5)

 

NOTE: “The Secret Terrorists” is a 150-page paperback book that deals with Vatican and Jesuit subversion and assassination in the U.S.A., and their involvement in two world wars. It is only $5 postage paid. Please make check or money order payable in that amount to “Truth Triumphant”, and mail it to: Truth Triumphant // P.O. Box 1417 // Eustis, FL 32727-1417.

 

And here are the three Bible passages:

 

(1.) In Ephesians 5:11 we read: “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

 

(2.) In Psalm 94:16 we read: “WHO will rise up for me AGAINST the evildoers? Or WHO will stand up for me AGAINST the workers of iniquity?”

 

(3.) In Ezekiel 22:30, 31 the Lord GOD Almighty tells us: “And I [i.e., the Lord GOD Almighty] sought for a MAN among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found NONE. (Verse 31): Therefore have I poured out Mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.”

 

            Those three quotations and three Bible passages listed immediately above ought to make us reconsider just HOW MUCH we are currently doing to get the HARD TRUTH about Papal Rome – one of the greatest enemies of liberty that the world has ever seen – out to the American and Canadian people – and to the rest of the people of the world! Millions upon millions of lives are at risk because of Papal Rome’s push for totalitarian one-world government and one-world religion, both of which are to be controlled by Jesuit-controlled Papal Rome!
