More Papal Issues‏

Hello Friends!

In recent EC articles concerning Pope Francis and his “stance” on various issues such as Purgatory, Atheists and eternal salvation, we provided much information and sources regarding the shocking and amazing stances taken by this pontifical ruler in his short time as the new Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. 

As for abortion, although Mr. Francis hasn’t declared his “approval” of abortion or taken a pro-choice stance per-se’ it is his “silence” on the matter that is concerning – even to many Catholics I have spoken with as well. Mr. Francis has confirmed that he has “nothing to say” about abortion because the Roman Catholic Church teachings against it are clear and that it is time for "positive" news. This is classic Jesuit dialectic rhetoric. We’ll have to keep a close watch on this issue and see what else transpires.

 

This Pope is making statements that do not even agree with what the Church of Rome proclaims…

More Papal Issues

This “new” Pope is turning out to be one of the most controversial popes in modern history. It may indeed be due to his unique, first time ever Papal-Jesuit held office. Mr. Francis’s recent heresies not only suppress the truth of God's Word, but also oppose the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church itself. However, this makes for a wonderful opportunity to engage confused and troubled Roman Catholics with the true Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ – the one and only Head of the church.

 

That said, here are a few concerns one should consider when following this man and trusting in him with their eternal souls:

 

Pope Francis is working with the Coptic Orthodox Church Pope Tawadros II on advancing ecumenicalism. Recently, the Pope Canonized 800 Beheaded by Muslims... But what about his concern for the 50 million Bible-believing Christians the Church of Rome has martyred simply for believing the Word of God over bowing the knee to the papal religious system? 

 

Pope Francis on gays: “Who am I to Judge” Pope Francis said that he will not "judge" gays and lesbians, including gay priests, signaling a shift from his predecessor and offering another sign that the new pope is committed to changing the church's approach to historically marginalized groups. If the Pope is indeed the Vicar of Christ and final authority on all issues of morals, etc., isn’t then HIS job to judge? This “doctrine” is very hypocritical – and confusing.

 

Finally, the most disgusting point yet to come from the Vatican – in which our comments will be a bit more extensive…

 

Pope Francis has passed a new law in Rome that criminalizes the reporting of sex crimes in the Vatican. The Vatican has just found a way to make it illegal to report sexual abuse, and found a conniving way to do it without the general public noticing. According to the IB Times it was highlighted in a revealing article from July 20, detailing how few eyebrows were raised when Francis brought the Vatican’s legal system up to date by criminalizing leaks of official information and formalizing laws against sex crimes. But now that the laws have been made public, a closer look revealed that the pope has made it illegal to report sex crimes against children. 

 

According to the new laws, revealing or receiving confidential Vatican information is now punishable by up to two years in prison, while newly defined sex crimes against children carry a sentence of up to twelve years. Because all sex crimes are kept confidential, there is no longer a legal way for Vatican officials to report sex crimes. Vatican foreign minister Monsignor Dominique Mamberti claims that the simultaneous passing of each law is merely a coincidence and insisted that the Catholic Church is not trying to protect itself against further embarrassment, but I highly doubt that! The Catholic Church wants to impress the world by appearing to get tough on sex crimes, but they criminalized leaks, which is the only way anybody would ever discover their crimes. It’s genius – and evil – if one will only stop and think about it.

 

Most people are also not aware of the crimens sollicitiationis order that the Vatican has had in place for decades to protect pederast priests. We invite our dear readers to read this detailed document on how each archdiocese worldwide has been instructed to silence the victims and to protect the criminal priest – at all costs. You can view an English version of this Latin Document here. The folks with Protect Your Children and VaticanCrimes.com invites anyone who is interested to check out evidence of the over 10 million crimes worldwide by the Catholic Church here: http://jh.to/organizedcrime, 

 

In closing:

 

We are not seeking to be unkind, condemning or disrespectful to our Catholic friends in any way. We only seek to expose error whenever it is present. Yes, this too INCLUDES the endless heresy within MANY Protestant/”Evangelical” Churches as well!

Do you recall what Paul said would happen to the early Christian church?

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them - Acts 20:28-30

 A brief overview of church history reveals Paul’s prophetic warning was fulfilled and continues to be fulfilled today. Numerous church leaders emerged during the first to the third centuries. The foundational principles of the Scriptures were ignored and many followed the experiential teachings of men who claimed they had discovered new and innovative methods to get in touch with God - outside the bounds of the Word of God...

 

May the Lord Jesus Christ open the eyes of the lost – naturally and spiritually – before it is too late…

 

Keep looking up and sharing the Gospel while there is still time… Hallelujah and Maranatha – come quickly Lord Jesus!

We are not guaranteed tomorrow – tomorrow may be too late! If you haven't yet made that most important decision of your life, won't you make Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior today - before it's too late? Today is the day of Salvation!
