The Catholic Church is guilty of a grave moral failure for allowing massive sexual abuse of children!

The Catholic Church is guilty of a grave moral failure for allowing massive sexual abuse of children:
A stunning grand jury report issued Tuesday that said over 300 Catholic priests in Pennsylvania sexually abused more than 1,000 children over seven decades � and accused church leaders of covering up the wrongdoing � shows a massive and indefensible moral failure of the Catholic Church in the U.S.
The Catholic priests and bishops of Pennsylvania and the rest of the United States have failed the church. They have failed American Catholics. They have failed to uphold the dignity of the priesthood. They have failed God.
In the next few days much will be made of the damning 800+ page report issued by the Pennsylvania grand jury that named priests in six of the state�s seven dioceses as sexual predators who targeted vulnerable children � the most innocent of all the faithful. While the report identified 1,000 children it said were victims, it said there were probably thousands more child victims whose identities are not known.
The grand jury report states: �Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all. For decades.�
And sadly, the report said most of the terrible crimes it documents happened too long ago to be prosecuted because of statutes of limitations.
In a time when the number of people worldwide who associate with and practice a religion continues to decline, the bishops and priests of the world and of the United States had a calling to share the joys of Catholic Christianity to those who do not have it.
They had a duty to guide and form the members of the church in the teachings of Jesus Christ and His apostles, and strengthen their understanding of the truth.
But they failed.
As a lifelong faithful Catholic, Tuesday was a difficult day for me. I am angry, I am horrified, I am sickened, but I still have faith.
Predator priests and the bishops who enabled them deserve to see the inside of a prison cell � the fact that many will not be prosecuted because their crimes happened long ago is a grave injustice.
The culture within rectories, chanceries and seminaries that allowed this behavior to fester must be purged. And there must be stiff consequences for these horrible actions committed against the most innocent of God�s flock by the very people who are supposed to guide humanity to Him.
As for those priests, bishops, deacons and lay administrators who turned a blind eye to such evil and are still working, they must be sent packing � and not by the Church hierarchy. The faithful should be the ones who determine which priests and bishops can keep their jobs. Only such a commission of the faithful can guarantee that the culture of secrecy and the evil in the church is weeded out and destroyed.
And if that means that half the priests and bishops in America must be defrocked and forced into retirement, then so be it. The terrible evil that these men have wrought on God�s Holy Church is so unspeakable that no price is too high to rectify it.
No Catholic should be giving a cent to the collection basket until the predatory monsters within the priesthood, and bishops of the Catholic Church who enabled them, are cast out in a visible, transparent process that makes crystal clear that the church will never permit these terrible crimes to take place again.
WHY IS POPE FRANCIS STILL SILENT ABOUT THIS MASSIVE SEX ABUSE REPORT??
(CNN) - In July, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro wrote a personal letter to Pope Francis, warning him that "a comprehensive investigation" by his office had found "widespread sexual abuse of children and a systemic coverup by leaders of the Catholic Church."
Shapiro says he never received a response.
The six Pennsylvania dioceses named in the scathing grand jury report received copies of the 800-page document in May, according to Crux News. Before the report was published on Tuesday, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, one of the Pope's top allies and the former archbishop of Pittsburgh, had a detailed website prepared to defend himself against charges that he shielded abusive priests. (The website was removed on Thursday after an outcry from Catholics.)
So the idea that the Vatican was caught off guard by the explosive report or needs more time to process it is increasingly difficult to understand -- as is the Pope's silence on the matter. This is a pontiff, after all, who has chastised the media for ignoring the deaths of homeless people.
What's the threshold of victims it would take for the Vatican to quickly respond to the grand jury report? Maybe 2,000? Or 3,000?
Is 1,000 children abused at the hands of Catholic clergy not enough to warrant a comment from the Pope?
Apparently not.
"We have no comment at this time," Paloma Ovejero, deputy director of the Vatican's press office, said on Wednesday. On Thursday, the Vatican again declined to comment.
Meanwhile, in the United States and elsewhere, pressure continues to mount on Pope Francis to address a rapidly escalating crisis that has spread across several continents, from Australia to Latin America.
Pope Francis also says "Who am I to judge homosexuals." and Pope Francis states that sincere homosexuals will also enter the kingdom of heaven. But what does God's Word say?? I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor **HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS** will inherit the kingdom of God. {Unless they repent} And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

**DOES POPE FRANCIS COMPLETELY QUALIFY TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF **666**??
** THE AMAZING PROPHECY OF ST MALACHY IN AD 1139 THAT THERE WILL BE 112 POPES AFTER AD 1139 AND THAT DURING THE REIGN OF THE 112TH POPE THE END OF THE WORLD WILL COME. **POPE FRANCIS** IS THE 112TH POPE**!!
St. Malachy was the Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland and a very good archbishop who always helped the poor. He claimed he experienced a vision while visiting Rome in 1139 AD. He said he saw every pope that would exist from the time of his vision until the last pope. The last pope would be the 112th from the time of his vision. Malachy also stated that the last pope would be a very evil pope and that God would judge everyone and the city of Rome would be destroyed during the reign of this last pope.
When John Paul II died on April 2, 2005, articles were written pointing out that the pope who would replace John Paul II would be the 111th pope. Benedict XVI was 78 years of age when he began his papacy on April 19th, 2005. Because of his advanced age, it was obvious that his reign as the Bishop of Rome could not last too long. Everyone understood the next pope, according to St. Malachy, would be the last pope. Malachy also said the church would be judged, Rome would be destroyed, and implied that the end of the world would come during this final papacy. The question on everyone�s mind was: How long till the 112th pope?
On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict shocked the world by announcing his intention to resign from the papacy. This was the first resignation of a pope while in office in over 600 years. Benedict said that, at the age of 85, he no longer had the strength to execute the duties of leading the Roman Catholic Church. It was time to elect the 112th pope foretold in the vision of St. Malachy! Overlooking St. Peter�s Square, the announcement was made that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina had been elected the 112th pope in the prophecy on March 13th, 2013!!
He was 76 years of age when elected pope and chose to take the name Pope Francis for his papal name. Francis is the first non-European pope and the first pope ever elected from the very Satanic Jesuit order. The Satanic Pope Francis is the leader of about 1,000,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics and it is quite obvious that he is very evil and Satanic and possibly would qualify to be the future False Prophet of 666!
**DOES POPE FRANCIS QUALIFY TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF 666**??
Jesus is called a **LAMB** 30 times in the book of Revelation and Revelation 13:11 states the False Prophet of 666 will be **LIKE A LAMB** which implies that he may be a very deceptive religious leader.
Revelation 17:9 shows that the future headquarters of 666 and his False Prophet will be the evil city on 7 hills or Rome {See Rev 17:9}; which is also the present headquarters of Pope Francis and the former headquarters of 666, Nero Caesar, who will come up from the Abyss!! {See Daniel 7:23-25}
A Roman Catholic Priest Says Homosexuality Is Gift From God, And That The Bible Is Not The Word Of God, And Then Pope Francis Kisses His Hand And Praises Him??
A 93 year old Italian priest named Michele de Paolis, considered to be Italy�s most rebellious priest and amongst the most universally notorious advocates for the Catholic Church to change its position on homosexuality, said:, "Homosexual love is a gift from (God) no less than heterosexual. This same damned heretic said, "The Bible �is� not the word of God And now, just a few days ago, Francis, whether by his own will or through some malicious advisors, celebrated mass with this evil man and then kissed his hand????
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis waded into the controversial debate over the origins of human life, saying the big bang theory and evolution did not contradict the role of a divine creator, but even required it. The pope was addressing the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which gathered at the Vatican to discuss �Evolving Concepts of Nature.� Pope Francis said, �When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,� Francis said. �He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment.� �God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,� the pope said. �Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.�
Pope Francis has also made comments showing he believes in the Big Bang Theory.
Pope Francis Quote: �The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.��Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of Creation�. However the Big Bang Theory is COMPLETELY inconsistent with the Creation account. God says He created man in HIS IMAGE, not in the Image of an ape. Christian belief in Evolution is a slap in the Face of God, and a bunch of monkey business.
Giovanni Bignami, a professor and president of Italy�s National Institute for Astrophysics, welcomed Francis� comments, saying he had buried the �pseudo theories� of creationists. The pope�s statement is significant,� Bignami told Italian news agency Adnkronos. �We are the direct descendants from the Big Bang that created the universe. Evolution came from creation.�
Pope Francis: says, The Church could support civil unions??? By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor: - Pope Francis suggested in a newspaper interview that it could support some types of civil unions. The Pope reiterated the church's longstanding teaching that "marriage is between a man and a woman." However, he said, "We have to look at different cases and evaluate them in their variety." States, for instance, justify civil unions as a way to provide economic security to cohabitating couples, the Pope said in a wide-ranging interview published Wednesday in Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily. State-sanctioned unions are thus driven by the need to ensure rights like access to health care, Francis added.
A number of Catholic bishops have supported civil unions for same-sex couples, including Pope Francis when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 2010, according to reports in National Catholic Reporter and The New York Times. Behind closed doors, Pope Francis supported civil unions in Argentina, activist says. But Wednesday's comments are "The **FIRST TIME** a Pope has indicated even tentative acceptance of civil unions," according to Catholic News Service.
Francis delivers homilies each day, the contents of which are summarized by Vatican Radio. On May 22, 2015 he caused no shortage of confusion when he suggested that even atheists could find salvation. In his homily, Francis said: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, with the Blood of Christ:, not just Catholics. Everyone! Even the atheists. Everyone!"
However in John 14:6 Jesus says, "I am the **WAY** the **TRUTH** and the **LIFE**. No one can come to the Father **EXCEPT THROUGH ME**."
Pope Francis said to his Church and the World that �GOOD DEEDS� of atheists, Muslims and homosexuals can get them to Heaven with **NO NEED** of Salvation or Faith and belief in JESUS. This is completely opposed to what the Word of God says.
Jesus is called a **LAMB** 30 times in the book of Revelation and Revelation 13:11 states the False Prophet of 666 will be **LIKE A LAMB** which implies that he may be a very deceptive religious leader.
�Speaking to 33,000 Christians in Rome, Pope Francis said that a �Personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus must be avoided at all costs.� The Roman Catholic leader explained that no one can truly be a follower on his or her own, believers must rely on the **CHURCH ONLY** for their salvation.�
Pope Francis tells his flock that �the Quran and the spiritual teachings contained therein, is just as valid as the Holy Bible.� NO, it is most certainly not. It is a book of WAR, violence and bloodshed, while the Holy Bible is a Love Story between God and man. How in the world can someone so ignorant to the polar opposites of Christianity and Islam be the leader of billions of Christians globally?! It is a very dangerous thing. Last year, Francis was the FIRST POPE in all of world history, to hold Islamic prayers in Vatican square and allow reading of the Quran in Church services. Now, if this Pope truly believed the Holy Bible, he would acknowledge that the teachings of the Quran of Islam are antithetical to the teachings of our Holy Book. The Quran DENIES Jesus is The CHRIST, Messiah and The SON OF GOD. The Quran teaches that Allah is God and Mohammed is GREATER than Lord JESUS. The Quran teaches that Jesus will return as a MUSLIM, destroy every Cross, and MURDER every Christian and Jew that doesn�t convert to Islam under Islam�s �messiah� Mahdi, whom the Holy Bible describes as our ANTICHRIST.
Pope Francis also says "Who am I to judge homosexuals." and Pope Francis states that sincere homosexuals will also enter the kingdom of heaven. But what does God's Word say?? I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor **HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS** will inherit the kingdom of God. {Unless they repent} And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
"**WHEN LOVE FAILS**, and it fails many times, we have to feel the pain of that failure, accompany the people who have felt the **FAILURE OF THEIR LOVE**" Pope Francis quote on February 28, 2014
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
I Corinthians 13:4-8: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. **LOVE NEVER FAILS**"
Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: �You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don�t believe and who don�t seek the faith. I start by saying � and this is the fundamental thing � that God�s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. �Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience"????
Pope Francis quote: "We believers and of course above all we priests and we bishops believe in the Absolute, but each in their own way because each one has his own head and thought. So our **ABSOLUTE TRUTH**, shared by us all, **IS DIFFERENT FROM PERSON TO PERSON**. We do not avoid discussions in the case where our different thoughts confront each other. So there is a kind of relativism among us as well."
Pope Francis is an extreme socialist who believes that all capitalism is extremely evil!! The Pope also loves socialism and believes that anyone who does not believe in socialism is sinning!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that people of all beliefs other than Christianity such as Muslims and even atheists shall go to heaven if they are sincere and lead a good life.
For the First Time in History in History a Pope refuses to judge or condemn homosexuals or those who participate in Gay Marriage!!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that everyone who does not believe in Global Warming is Sinning and all who do not do something to reduce Global Warming is Sinning!!
For the first time in History the Roman Catholic Church has elected a **JESUIT POPE*!! One of the main enforcers of the Roman Catholic Inquisitions were the Jesuits. All Jesuits take the same Satanic oath today. Pope Francis has taken and administered this same Satanic Jesuit oath which includes the following amazing statements: "I promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage war , secretly and openly, against all heretics and protestants as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive those infamous heretics; rip open their stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race.
Revelation 13:14: The False Prophet will be given power to give breath to the statue of 666, so that the statue could speak and cause all who refuse to worship the statue to be **KILLED*! {Just like the Jesuits above who killed God's true saints!}
And so it is interesting to note that the 112th and last pope {??} who is the leader of about 1,200,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics agrees with Satan on everything!!
Matthew 23:9: "Jesus says, "Do not call *ANYONE on earth 'father,' for you have **ONE FATHER**, and He is in *HEAVEN*!!" This is an obvious reference to a SPIRITUAL FATHER since earthly fathers of earthly children are mentioned hundreds of times in God's Word. And so according to Jesus: calling the leader of the Satanic Roman Catholic Church 'Holy Father' is a terrible sin.
Pope Francis {Who Satanists call **HOLY FATHER**} has made a Papal Decree stating that he alone has given power to Roman Catholic priests {Who Satanists call **FATHERS**} to forgive **ALL ABORTIONS** which would include Gruesome and Horrific Abortions an hour before conception!! Is this **MURDER**??
As usual, the Satanic Pope Francis is absolutely contradicting God's Sacred Word!!:
Psalm 22:10: David said, "From my mother's **WOMB** you have been My God!"
Psalm 139:13: David said, "For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's **WOMB**!"
Isaiah 44:2: This is what the Lord says--He who made you, who formed you in the **WOMB**!
Isaiah 44:24: This is what the Lord says--your Redeemer, who formed you in the **WOMB**!
Jeremiah 1:5: The Lord said, "Before I formed you in the **WOMB** I knew you!"
Extremely Satanic Quotes by Pope Francis:
"Jesus Christ�s life ended in **FAILURE**, **FAILURE** of the cross?"
"When God fails, and He fails many times, we have to feel the pain of His failure, accompany the people who have felt the failure of their God"
"If at times our efforts and works seem to fail and produce no fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus� and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, in the failure of the cross."
"I was shocked when I found out who the biggest failure in the Bible actually is�. The biggest one is God�. I mean, He lost His top-ranking, most anointed angel; the first man He ever created; the first woman He ever created; the whole earth and all the Fullness therein; a third of the angels, at least�that's a big loss, man."
When actually The **SUCCESS** of Jesus at the Cross was the greatest success in the history of mankind!!
THE SATANIC ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH BELIEVES THAT THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST HAS TO BE SPILLED OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ATONE FOR OUR SINS DURING THEIR MASS OR **MESS** SINCE JESUS FAILED TO DO THIS AT THE CROSS!!
The Apostle Peter wrote in I Peter 1:17-19: For you know it was not with perishable things such as silver and gold that you were **REDEEMED** from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, a Lamb without blemish or defect!!
Isaiah 53:5,6: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and **BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED**. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!!
I Peter 2:24,25: He Himself bore our sins in his body on a tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness, **BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED!. For you were like sheep going astray , but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls!
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus. have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches.... I warn everyone who hears the words of this prophecy of this Book: If anyone *ADDS* anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book {Including **ETERNAL HELL**} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book."
Revelation 1:5: From Jesus Christ, to Him who loves and has **FREED US FROM OUR SINS BY HIS BLOOD**!!
Which the Pope Francis and the RC Church totally disagrees with and commits the unpardonable sin of **TAKING WORDS AWAY** from the book of Revelation!!}
Revelation 5:9: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain and **WITH YOUR BLOOD** purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation!!"
Ephesians 1:3-8; 11; 19-23: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with **EVERY** spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and **BLAMELESS** in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the forgiveness of sins. in accordance the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.....In Him we were also **CHOSEN** having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will!!.....That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the **PRESENT AGE** but also in the one to come. And God paced **ALL THINGS** under His feet and appointed Him {Not a pope}to be the ***HEAD*** over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way!!
MATTHEW 28:18-20: Jesus says, "**ALL AUTHORITY** in heaven and **ON EARTH** has been given to **ME**! Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching the to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you **ALWAYS**!!"
However, many Roman Catholic Catechisms state:
"The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth. By divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one. The Pope is God himself on earth.� �We confess that the Pope has power of changing Scripture and of adding to it, and taking from it according to his will.�
Jesus is called a **LAMB** 30 times in Revelation and in Revelation 13:11: the future False Prophet of 666 will be **LIKE A LAMB** or world famoous religious leader **JUST LIKE JESUS**!!
**THE FALSE PROPHET WILL BE A RELIGIOUS LEADER WHO UNIFIES ALL THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD INTO A ONE-WORLD RELIGION**!!
The False Prophet will be a religious leader who unifies all the religions of the world into a one-world religion. He will lead the false religions of the world to their destruction by getting everyone except God's saints to worship 666 with many miracles signs and wonders as per Revelation 13:13-15 an Revelation 19:20!
Revelation 13:12: And he {THe False Prophet} makes the earth and those who dwell in it to **WORSHIP** the first beast {*666*}!
If Pope Francis is the future False Prophet of 666 then we would expect to see him taking actions to unite the religions of the world, which is exactly what he has been doing. If he is the False Prophet, then his claims of promoting world peace and unity are actually just ploys to move the world closer to a one-world religion that ultimately requires everyone to worship *666*.
Since the start of his papacy in March 2013 Pope Francis has been on a crusade to unify the religions of the world. He has launched initiatives to reconcile differences between leaders of every major religion, including longstanding rifts between Christian denominations.
Pope Francis appears to be on a crusade to unite the religions of the world into one. He started fast right out of the blocks and has not slowed down. Since being elected Pope on March 13th, 2013, he has launched initiatives to reconcile differences between leaders of every major religion, including longstanding rifts between Christian denominations.
Beginning the day after he formally took office, Pope Francis met with leaders from every major religion including Orthodox Christians, Protestant Christian denominations, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, and Jainists. In that meeting he made the following statement:
�The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of the promotion of friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions. I want to repeat this: The promotion of friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions.�
This message of unity has been his ongoing theme in meeting after meeting and nation after nation. He has not only sought unity among Catholics, but has ventured much farther than any previous Pope in reaching out to people of other religions. It appears he is having great success because he is getting warm receptions from people all over the world from many different religions. He has even been warmly received by spirit-filled believers who are embracing him like a brother in the faith.
On Sunday, June 8 2014, Pope Francis took an unprecedented action for a Pope when he brought together Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians to pray for peace in the Middle East. Pope Francis hosted a prayer meeting in the Vatican Garden attended by the President of Israel, Shimon Peres, the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, and Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide. Prayers were delivered in Italian, Hebrew, Arabic and English.
On June 24 2014, Pope Francis took another very unusual step for a Pope by meeting with famous Protestant Charismatic Christian leaders, including Kenneth Copeland, James Robison, John Arnott, Carol Arnott, and others. This is another example of how far Pope Francis has ventured, much farther than any previous Pope, in his efforts to bridge the gap between different religious groups. This meeting came just weeks after meeting with another famous Christian television preacher, Joel Osteen, pastor of Lakewood Church, a mega-church based in Houston, Texas, who now loves Pope Francis!
The US Supreme Court presently has **FOUR** Roman Catholics and if Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed there will then be a **MAJORITY** of **FIVE** Roman Catholics on the US Supreme Court who will Have Pope Francis as their religious leader!!
Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr..................................Roman Catholic
Neil Gorsuch was raised Roman Catholic but now attends a very liberal Episcopal church which welcomes gays and lesbians and abortions and has a woman Pastor. So it is safe to say that there are no born again Christians on the US Supreme Court.
On Sunday December 1st, 2014, Pope Francis met with Patriarch Bartholomew I, leader of 300 million Eastern Orthodox Christians, attempting to mend their thousand year-old differences. About 500 years before Martin Luther led his protest against the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church rejected the ultimate authority of the Pope in what is called the Great Schism of 1054. The Orthodox Christians have been separated from the Catholic Church ever since. However, in this historic meeting they signed a declaration committing to unity between their two churches.
In January 2015, Pope Francis visited South Asia to meet with leaders of Sri Lanka�s Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Christian communities. On the first day of his visit he spoke to a large crowd of religious leaders during a meeting at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall. In his speech Pope Francis made the following comments:
�As experience has shown for (inter-religious) dialogue and encounter to be effective, it must be grounded in a full and forthright presentation of our respective convictions. Certainly, such dialogue will accentuate how varied our beliefs, traditions and practices are. But if we are honest in presenting our convictions, we will be able to see more clearly what we hold in common. New avenues will be opened for mutual esteem, cooperation and indeed friendship."
On Wednesday January 14th, 2015 Pope Francis made a surprise visit to a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka where he told huge crowds that religions must unite to heal the country�s war wounds. This was only the second time in history that a Pope has visited a Buddhist temple. The last time was by Pope John Paul II in 1984. Sri Lanka is about 70% Buddhist.
Pope Francis was honored by the Buddhist monks when they opened a container holding Buddhist relics that is normally unsealed only once a year.
While he was in Sri Lanka, Pope Francis also met with Hindu leaders. Following his speech at Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall in Sri Lanka, a Hindu priest placed an orange cape on Francis�s shoulders.
If Pope Francis is the future False Prophet then we would expect to see him taking the very same actions as he has been doing, on his way to forming a one-world religion. We must pay attention because he fits the description of the False Prophet of 666. His ultimate goal could be to get the whole world to worship 666.
Revelation 13:12: And he makes the **EARTH** and those who dwell in it to **WORSHIP** the first beast {666}!! The False Prophet of 666 is also called the beast of the **EARTH** in Revelation 13:11!
Pope has also made overtures to those who are not religious: to atheists, homosexuals, evolutionists, communists, those who practice civil unions and same-sex marraiges and those who have abortions!!
In March 2018, Francis was quoted in la Repubblica as saying (in Italian) "Those who repent obtain God�s forgiveness and take their place among the ranks of those who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot be forgiven **DISAPPEAR**. **HELL DOESN'T EXIST**, the disappearance of sinning souls exists.�
Pope Francis as the False Prophet will teach that the whole world will be saved and no one will go to hell even if you worship 666 and his statue, and receive his mark on your right hand or forehead!! However God's Word states the following:
Revelation 14:9,10: "If anyone worships the beast and his image {On world-wide TV?} and receives his mark on the forehead or hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God's fury They will be tormented with burning sulfur. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever!!"
**DOES POPE FRANCIS QUALIFY TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF **666**??
The name of Pope Francis is Jorge **BERGOGLIO**!!
Here is another interesting coincidence concerning the Satanic number 666, which I found to be shocking, as the chances of obtaining such a number are very low to say the least. ASCII is the code read by all computers for simple text and can be seen in Wikipedia under the ASCII Computer Code. It is a common language of computers for basic letters, symbols, and numbers. Each letter is represented by a number. If you translate the name �BERGOGLIO� (in capital letters) from letters into ASCII code and add up the numbers, the result is **666**.
In the ASCII CODE the capital letter A is represented by the number 65 and the Capital letter B is represented by the next number **66** etc and:
Also interesting is the middle 3 letters in the Pope's last name: BER**GOG**LIO which adds up to **666**. There are some very interesting Scriptures concerning the very evil names **GOG** and **MA*GOG** in God's Word!!
Ezekiel 38:2,3,18-22: The Word of the Lord came to me, "Son of Man set your face against **GOG**, of the land Magog."... This is what the Sovereign Lord says, "I am against you **GOG**"... This is what the Sovereign Lord says, "This is what will happen in that day. When **GOG** attacks the land of Israel, My hot anger will be aroused... In My zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great *EARTHQUAKE* {See Rev 11:13} in the land of Israel... The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground!! I will summon a sword against **GOG** on all My mountains!! I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and **BURNING SULFUR** {**FIRE** as per Rev 20:9 below!**} on him and on his troops and on the **MANY NATIONS** with him!"
Revelation 16:13-16: Then I saw 3 impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon {Satan}, and out of the mouth of the beast {666} and out of the mouth of the False Prophet {?BER**GOG**LIO?} They are demonic spirits perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the earth to gather them for battle on the great day of God Almighty... Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. {Which is 77 miles North of Jerusalem}
Then they will attack Jerusalem where 666 will kill God's 2 witnesses {See Rev 11:7,8} and then there will be a great **EARTHQUAKE** which will also completely destroy one tenth of Jerusalem as per Revelation 11:13 and Ezekiel 38:19 above!
Revelation 20:7-10: Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the 4 corners of the earth--**GOG** and Magog--and to gather them for battle {See Rev 16:13,14}. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city He loves {Jerusalem}. But **FIRE** {**BURNING SULFUR** as per Ezek 38:22 above**} came down from heaven and devoured them. And the Devil, who deceived them, will be thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast {**666**} and the False Prophet {*BER**GOG**LIO = **666**} had been thrown {See Rev 19:19,20}. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever! {So here we see that **ALL** the nations in the 4 corners of the earth are called **GOG AND MA*GOG** and **666** and the False Prophet of **666** and **666** and Satan will gather all the nations of the world called **GOG** and **MA*GOG** to Armageddon and then to Jerusalem just before the Last Day as per Revelation 16:13-16!!}
The letters in **GOG** add up to 29 and the letters in **MA*GOG** add up to 43 in English Gematria. And so the letters in **GOG** {29} and **MA*GOG** {43} add up to a total of {72} which is also **66+6**!! *G* is the 7th letter in the English alphabet: G=7 O=15 G=7 and 7+15+7 = 29 M=13 A=1 G=7 O=15 G=7 and 13+1+7+15+7 = 43 And 29+43 = 72 which is also **66+6**
Isaiah 14:12-15: How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn. You have been cast down to the earth. You said in your heart, I will ascend, "I will ascend to the heavens. I will raise my throne above the stars of God... I will make myself like the Most High."
In Revelation 12:3-9 we read that just before the Great Tribulation; Satan will invade heaven with one third of the angels who left with him, but Michael and heaven's angels will kick them out of heaven to earth. Then Satan will give authority to the beast{666} and the False Prophet of 666 to rule every nation of the world during the 42 month Great Tribulation. {Read Revelation 13:4-18}
In Revelation 4:6,8; 5:6,8,14; 6:1,6; 7:1; 14:3; 15:7; 19:4 we read about the **4** powerful Living Beings who surround God's throne in heaven. Most Evangelical Bible scholars believe that Satan was the **5TH** Living Being before he rebelled against God since he is much stronger than his angels. This is probably why Satan's worshipers always use the Pentagram or **5** pointed star in their worship services.
And so it is interesting to note that Satan's name adds up to exactly **55** in English Gematria. *S* is the 19th letter of the English alphabet and:
S = 19 A = 1 T = 20 A = 1 N = 14 and 19 + 1 + 20 + 1 + 14 EQUALS EXACTLY **55**!!
J = 10 O = 15 R = 18 G = 7 E = 5 and 10 + 15 + 18 + 7 + 5 ALSO EQUALS EXACTLY **55**!!
It is interesting to note that Pope Francis who completely qualifies to be the False Prophet of **666** and whose last name {BER**GOG**LIO} also adds up to **666**! has a first name **JORGE** that also adds up to Satan's number of **55**!!! who was the **5TH** Living Being and is always worshiped with a **5** pointed star!!
And so the End-Times my be **EXTREMELY CLOSE** if Pope Francis will be the future False Prophet of **666** since **JORGE BER*GOG*LIO** is 81 years old and the last pope retired at age 85!!
**WILL THE EVIL CITY ON 7 HILLS OR ROME BE THE HEADQUARTERS OF 666 AND THE FALSE PROPHET OF **666** DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION**??
Rome is called **BABYLON** **6** times in Revelation and once in I Peter 5:13 and will be the headquarters of **666** and the False Prophet of **666** during the Great Tribulation.
I Peter 5:13: She {Peter's wife} who is in **BABYLON**, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. {Peter and his wife were known to be in Rome when Peter wrote I Peter!}
The Great Fire of Rome was an urban fire in the year AD 64. It caused widespread devastation destroying about two thirds of Rome or about **66.6** Percent, before being brought under control after **6** days. Differing accounts blame Emperor Nero Caesar for initiating the fire! According to Tacitus and later Christians, Nero blamed the devastation on the Christian community in the city, initiating the empire's first persecution against the Christians. As a result, Nero Caesar imprisoned, tortured or killed about 10,000 Christians in Rome.
And this why Peter called the evil city on 7 hills {Rome} the evil name of **BABYLON** who killed thousands of Israelites and Peter also wrote about Nero's persecution in I Peter:
I Peter 2:21; 4:12,13; 5:8,9: To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps!... Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.... Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil {Nero} prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith!!
**WAS ANCIENT BABYLON COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY GOD NEVER TO BE LIVED IN AGAIN IN 122 BC**??
Jeremiah 50:12,13,39: 51:29,37: The Lord said, "She will be the least of the nations--a wilderness, a dry land, a desert. Because of the Lord's anger she will **NOT BE INHABITED** but will be completely desolate. All who pass **BABYLON** will be appalled; they will scoff because of all her wounds...The Lord's purposes against **BABYLON** stand-- to lay waste the land of **BABYLON** so that **NO ONE WILL LIVE THERE**... **BABYLON** will be a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, an object of horror and scorn, a place where **NO ONE LIVES**!
Babylon suffered 18 "falls" subsequent to its fall by Cyrus. The final recorded fall was in 122 B.C. by Mithradates II when all of the above was completely accomplished!
Revelation 17:3-6,9: I saw woman sitting on a **SCARLET** Beast {666} that was covered with blasphemous names and had 7 heads. The woman was dressed in **PURPLE** and **SCARLET**... The name on her forehead was a mystery: BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw the woman was drunk with the blood of God's Holy people, the blood of those who bore testimiony to Jesus..,. This calls for a mind with wisdom. The 7 heads are **7 HILLS** on which the woman sits {Which is **ROME** the **CITY ON 7 HILLS**}!!
Revelation 18:10,15-17: Woe! Woe to you, great city, the mighty city of Babylon {Rome}! In one hour your doom has come!... The merchants who gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out, "Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, **PURPLE** and **SCARLET**! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!!
**ARE **SCARLET** AND **PURPLE** VERY INTERESTING COLORS RELATED TO THE EVIL CITY ON 7 HILLS WHICH IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE **ROMAN** CATHOLIC CHURCH AND WILL BE THE HEADQUARTERS OF 666 AND HIS FALSE PROPHET**??
There are 226 Cardinals and about 5,100 Archbishops and Bishops under the control of Pope Francis in the **ROMAN** Catholic Church, who command people to worship and pray to statues. Archbishops just control a larger area than a Bishop. There is at least one Bishop in every country in the world. They are in charge of about 410,000 **ROMAN** Catholic priests who minister to about 1.2 billion *ROMAN** Catholic people or about 1 out of every 6 people in the world.
Cardinals and Archbishops and Bishops wear Cassocks or Long Coats. A Cardinal's Cassock is always **SCARLET** and Archbishop's and Bishop's Cassocks are always **PURPLE**!! Cardinals and Archbishops also wear a square shaped hat called a Biretta. A Cardinal's Biretta is always **SCARLET** and Archbishop's and Bishop's Birettas are always **PURPLE**!! Cardinals also wear a skullcap called a Zucchetto which is always **SCARLET**!! All Popes were Cardinals and are chosen by Cardinals!
Revelation 17:3-6,9: I saw woman sitting on a **SCARLET** Beast {666} that was covered with blasphemous names and had 7 heads. The woman was dressed in **PURPLE** and **SCARLET**!!
Revelation 18:16: "Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, **PURPLE** and **SCARLET**! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!!
**WHAT CITY WILL BE THE HEADQUARTERS OF **666** AND THE FALSE PROPHET OF **666**??
The headqaurters of **666*** and the False Prophet of **666** is called an evil **WOMAN** **6** times in Revelation 17:3,4,6,7,9,18 and is also called a city on 7 hills {*ROME*} in Revelation 17:9. This evil **WOMAN** **66** is also called Babylon exactly **6** times in Revelation 14:8; 16:19; 17:5; 18:2,10,21!!
Revelation 17:3,4,6,18: I saw a **WOMAN** sitting on a scarlet **BEAST** {**666**} that was covered with blasphemous names... She had a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries... I saw the **WOMAN** was drunk with the blood of God's holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus... The **WOMAN** you saw is the great **CITY** that rules over the kings of the earth!! The good woman is mentioned in Revelation 12:1-17.
It is interesting to note that this evil **WOMAN** {**66**} in Revelation 17 adds up to exactly **66** in English Genatria: W = 23 O = 15 M = 13 A = 1 N = 14 and 23 + 15 + 13 + 1 + 14 equals exactly **66** and is mentioned exactly **6** times in Revelation 17. This evil **WOMAN** {**66**} is also called Babylon **6** times and will be the headquarters of **666** and the False Prophet of **666** during the 42 {**6X6+6**} month Great Tribulation!!
The **6th** Caesar {Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius & the **6th** was NERO CAESAR} ordered the execution of Paul & Peter in AD *66* and adds up to exactly **666** in the Hebrew language.
Nero Caesar or **666** is called the **BEAST** 36 or **6X6** times in Revelation and he will exercise his authority for exactly 42 {Or **6X6+6**} months as per Rev 13:5. It very interesting to note that the 36 {**6X6**} numbers in numbers 1 through 36 or **6X6** adds up to exactly **666**!! 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20+21+22+23+24+25+26+27+28+29+30+31+32+33+34+35+36 equals exactly ***666***!!!
Nero Caesar who adds up to **666** who will come up from the **ABYSS** {**66**} and is called a **BEAST** 36 or **6X6** times in Revelation and the False Prophet {?BERGOGLIO? = **666**} of **666** is called a **BEAST** in Revelation 13:11. These 2 **BEASTS** {**66**} will rule from the evil city on 7 hills called a **WOMAN** {**66**} **6** times and **BABYLON** **6** times in Revelation. It is very interesting to note that **BEASTS** also add up to exactly **66** in English Gematria: B = 2 E = 5 A - 1 S = 19 T = 20 S = 19 and 2+5+1+19+20+19 = **66**!!
{**666**} according to Revelation 11:7 And 17:8 will come up from the **ABYSS** which adds up to {**66**} and he is called a **BEAST** 36 or {**6X6**} times. This **BEAST** will come up from the **ABYSS** {*66**} by way of the **SEA** as per Revelation 13:1. It is interesting to note that this **SEA BEAST** adds up to exactly 72 which is also {**66+6**} For S = 19 E = 5 A = 1 B = 2 E = 2 A = 1 S = 19 T = 20 and 19+5+1+2+5+1+19+20 equals exactly 72 which is also {**66+6**}
**666** is called the **BEAST** from the **SEA** while the False Prophet is called a **BEAST** of the **EARTH**!
Revelation 13:11: Then I saw a second **BEAST**, coming out of the **EARTH**. He had 2 horns **LIKE A **LAMB**" {A religious leader like Jesus who is called a **LAMB** 30 times in Revelation!}
Note: The Roman Catholic Church believes that they will rule the world from this present **EARTH** for 1,000 years!
**QUOTES ABOUT THE **EARTH** BY POPE FRANCIS, A WELL KNOWN RELIGOUS LEADER:
"Let us protect our lives so that we can protect others, so that we can **PROTECT CREATION**! The vocation of being a **PROTECTOR**, however, is not is not just involving us Christians alone, It also has a prior dimension which is simply human involving **EVERYONE**! It means **PROTECTING ALL CREATION**!"
"Today we cannot fail to recognize that a truly ecological social approach should integrate justice in discussions about the environment be listening to the **CRY OF THE EARTH**. We need unity to **PROTECT CREATION**!"
"We need an **ECOLOGICAL CONVERSION**. Living our vocation to be protectors of God�s handiwork is **ESSENTIAL TO A LIFE OF VIRTUE**!"
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY ABOUT THIS PRESENT EARTH**??
2 Peter: 3:10,13: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief {To unbelievers}. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire and the **EARTH** and everything in it will be burned up... But in keeping with His promise **WE** are looking forward to a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH** the home of righteousness!
Revelation 21:1-5:Then I saw a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH** for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God. prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. An I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!
AND SO POPE FRANCIS OR JORGE **BER*GOG*LIO** WHICH ADDS UP TO **666** COMPLETELY QUALIFIES TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF **666** OR BEAST OF THE **EARTH** AND THEREFORE THE END-TIMES MAY BE **EXTREMELY CLOSE**!!
The Catholic Church is guilty of a grave moral failure for allowing massive sexual abuse of children!

**SOME NEW TESTAMENT SINS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED BY MANY CHURCHES INCLUDING EVANGELICALS**!!
I Corinthians 11:5-7,14,16: Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is the same as having her head shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut of, but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head {When praying or prophesying} since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man... Does not the very nature of things teach that if a man has **LONG HAIR, it is a **DISGRACE** to him... If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice--nor do the churches of God!
It is interesting to note that Roman Catholic priests, bishops, cardinals and Popes all wear hats or a covering when they preach, teach or pray. Also men preachers in the Orthodox, Episcopal and many other Protestant churches teach and preach with a head covering. There are very few Protestant churches where a women wears a head covering in church such as the Amish and Mennonites. Also amazing is that almost every picture or statue of Jesus shows him sinning with long hair and so all these artists have sinned!!
I Timothy 2:9,10: I also want woman to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves not braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
Gold stayed about 35 dollars an ounce until 1970; since that time it has auctioned as high as 1750 dollars an ounce. Gold jewelry wound of course include marriage and engagement rings.
I Peter 3:3,4: Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful!
I Timothy 2:11: A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man, she must be silent.
I Corinthians 14:33-35: As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church!
2 Timothy 3:16,17; 4:1-4: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge **PREACH THE WORD**, be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the Truth and turn aside to myths!!
John 14:21-24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me... Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching, My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me!" {See Deut 18:17-19 above}
Acts 5:32: We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given **TO THOSE WHO OBEY HIM**!"
Luke 6:46-49: Jesus says, "As for everyone who comes to Me and hears **MY WORDS** and **PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE**. I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid foundation on rock. When the flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears **MY WORDS** and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete!"
I Peter 1:23-25: You have been **BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE LIVING AND ENDURING **WORD OF GOD**!! All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the **WORD OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER**. And this is the **WORD** that was preached to you.
Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
I John 2:3-5: We know we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in him!
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on **EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD**!"
Luke 8:15: Jesus says, "But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the **WORD**, retain it, and by perseverance produce a crop."
John 17:17: Jesus prays to His Father, "Sanctify them by the Truth, **YOUR WORD IS TRUTH**!"
Acts 20:32: Paul says, "Now I commit you to God and to the **WORD OF HIS GRACE**, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified!"
James 1:18; He chose to give us **BIRTH THROUGH THE WORD** of Truth!!
I Corinthians 15:2: By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the **WORD** preached to you. Otherwise you have believed in vain!
2 Corinthians 4:2: We do not use deception, nor do we distort the **WORD OF GOD**!
Ephesians 1:13: You also were included in Christ **WHEN** you heard the **WORD** of Truth, the gospel of your salvation.
Ephesians 2:17: Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the **WORD OF GOD**!
Colossians 1:25: I have become its servant by the commission God gave to me to present to you the **WORD OF GOD IN ALL ITS FULLNESS**!
Colossians 3:16: Let the **WORD OF CHRIST** dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom!
I Thessalonians 2:13: We thank God continually because, when you received the **WORD OF GOD**, which you heard from us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the **WORD OF GOD**!
2 Timothy 2:15: Do your best to present yourselves to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who **CORRECTLY HANDLES THE WORD ** of truth!
**DOES GOD"S WORD SAY THAT **ADDING** OR **TAKING WORD'S AWAY** FROM GOD's WORD IS AN UMPARDONABLE SIN**??
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus. have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches.... I warn everyone who hears the **WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK**: If anyone **ADDS** {Like the RC popes} anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book {Including **ETERNAL HELL**} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** {Like the RC popes} from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book."
THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, �All authority in heaven and on ***EARTH*** has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!�

**THE HORRIFIC SATANIC ROMAN CATHOLIC INQUISITIONS**
A study of Roman Catholic Atrocities. Revelation 12:11: " They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."
Those who classify themselves as Christians can be divided into 2 broad groups: those who have chosen to allow the Bible to be their final authority and those who have chosen to allow men to be their final authority. For sake of simplicity, I shall refer to the first group as "Bible believing Christians." The latter group has always been best represented by Roman Catholicism, by far its largest, most powerful, and most influential component. The Roman Catholic hierarchy has always boldly stated that it is not dependent upon Scripture alone, but also accepts tradition as another pillar of truth -- and where a conflict exists, tradition receives the greater acceptance. Being its own arbiter of what is to be accepted as truth, it accepts no authority as being higher than itself. This explains why the Catholic belief system has been constantly evolving over the centuries.
This also explains why a fierce antagonism has always existed between Bible believing Christianity and Roman Catholicism. Rome's frequent spiritual innovations excites the passions of Bible believers, who react adversely to religious modifications that are at odds with the eternal, changeless Word of God. Harboring a supreme confidence in the Book, a trust which reflects their trust in the Holy Spirit who authored the Scriptures, the Bible believers boldly challenge the suppositions of the Catholic hierarchy. In the course of this spiritual warfare, Catholic people are frequently converted from trust in Rome's complex religious system to a childlike faith in the Saviour and a simple reliance on His Word. Many such converts ultimately leave the Church of Rome to join local, New Testament churches. Frequently in history, the trickle of individuals who were making this remarkable transformation turned into a flood. Such ruptures cannot go unchecked by the Catholic hierarchy. As with any bureaucracy, its primary interest is its own protection and propagation.
The nature of its response to the inroads made by spiritual challengers is dictated by its cultural surroundings. The more Catholic the culture, the more severe the response. In past centuries, when Rome's ecclesiastical power was virtually absolute throughout Europe, the intensity of the attacks by the papists upon their spiritual enemies could be equally absolute. Ignoring the injunction of II Corinthians 10:4 ("The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world!"), Catholicism built its own philosophical system to justify the use of carnal (fleshly, human, physical) means to achieve spiritual ends.
Having divorced herself from Biblical absolutes, Catholicism adopted a theology in which she sees herself as the church founded upon the Apostle Peter by Jesus Christ, and alone empowered to bring salvation to the world. Further, she believes herself assigned the daunting task of bringing Christ's kingdom to fruition on earth. With those dogmas forming her philosophical foundation, she seeks her power in the political sphere as well as the religious realm. To whatever degree she achieves political power, to that degree she feels compelled to use her secular influence as a weapon against her spiritual adversaries. Thus, down through the centuries, we see that in those countries in which Catholicism had achieved absolute power, the pope's followers have not hesitated to brutally subdue the enemies of "the Church". Although Jews, Moslems, pagans, and others have felt the wrath of Rome, her special fury has always been reserved for her bitterest and most effective challengers -- Bible believing Christians. Only as the political climate changed in recent centuries did the Catholic hierarchy see it expedient to change tactics and appear to be more tolerant. Yet, to this day we see persecution continuing in those places on the globe dominated by Catholicism. The degree of the persecution is determined by the degree of control.
To what lengths is the Catholic hierarchy prepared to go in its drive to repress opposition and achieve its goal of instituting the kingdom of Christ on earth? To find the answer, one must look to the pages of history.
When the Roman Catholic Church was founded by the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., it immediately achieved expansive influence at all levels of the imperial government. As Bible believing Christians separated themselves from the Church of Rome, which they saw as apostate, they represented a formidable potential threat to the official new imperial religion. Persecution in varying degrees of severity was instituted over the centuries following.
By the 11th century, in their zeal to establish Christ's kingdom, the Roman popes ("pope" is an ecclesiastical office that is the very antithesis of the New Testament ideal of a local church pastor) began utilizing a new tool -- the Crusades. At first, the Crusades had as their object the conquering of Jerusalem and the "Holy Land". Along the crusaders' paths, thousands of innocent civilians (especially Jews) were raped, robbed, and slaughtered. In time, however, the crusade concept was altered to crush spiritual opposition within Europe itself. In other words, armies were raised with the intent of massacring whole communities of Bible believing Christians. One such group of Bible believing Christians were known as the Albigenses.
Pope Innocent III believed that Bible believing dissidents were worse than infidels (Saracens, Moslems, and Turks), for they threatened the unity of ... Europe. So Innocent III sponsored 4 "crusades" to exterminate the Albigenses. Innocent (what a name!) called upon Louis VII to do his killing for him, and he also enjoined Raymond VI to assist him.
The Cistercian order of Catholic monks were then commissioned to preach all over France, Flanders, and Germany for the purpose of raising an army sufficient to kill the Bible believers. All who volunteered to take part in these mass murders were promised that they would receive the same reward as those who had sallied forth against the Moslems (i.e., forgiveness of sins and eternal life).
The Albigenses were referred to in Pope Innocent's Sunday morning messages as "servants of the old serpent". Innocent promised the killers a heavenly kingdom if they took up their swords against unarmed populaces.
In July of 1209 A.D. an army of orthodox Catholics attacked Beziers and murdered 60,000 unarmed civilians, killing men, women, and children. The whole city was sacked, and when someone complained that Catholics were being killed as well as "heretics", the papal legates told them to go on killing and not to worry about it for "the Lord knows His own."
At Minerve, 14,000 Christians were put to death in the flames, and ears, noses, and lips of the "heretics" were cut off by the "faithful."
This is but one example from the long and sordid history of Catholic atrocities committed against their bitter enemies, the Bible believing Christians. Much worse treatment of Bible believers was forthcoming during that stage of bloody Catholic history known as the Inquisition.
It is vital, though, that we here define what is meant by the term "heretic". According to Webster's II New Riverside University Dictionary, this is a heretic: "One who holds or advocates controversial opinions, esp. one who publicly opposes the officially accepted dogma of the Roman Catholic, Church." Or, as one author has put it, "Heresy, to a Catholic, is anti-Catholic truth found in the Bible."B Another summarized the official stance as this: "Every citizen in the empire was required to be a Roman Catholic. Failure to give wholehearted allegiance to the pope was considered treason against the state punishable by death."
From 1200 to 1500 the long series of Papal ordinances on the Inquisition, ever increasing in severity and cruelty, and their whole policy towards heresy, runs on without a break. It is a rigidly consistent system of legislation: every Pope confirms and improves upon the devices of his predecessor. All is directed to the one end, of completely uprooting every difference of belief... The Inquisition ... contradicted the simplest principles of Christian justice and love to our neighbor, and would have been rejected with universal horror in the ancient Church.
Pope Alexander IV established the Office of the Inquisition within Italy in 1254. The first inquisitor was Dominic, a Spaniard who was the founder of the Dominican order of monks.
The Inquisition was purely and uniquely a Catholic institution; it was founded far the express purpose of exterminating every human being in Europe who differed from Roman Catholic beliefs and practices. It spread out from France, Milan, Geneva, Aragon, and Sardinia to Poland (14th century) and then to Bohemia and Rome (1543). It was not abolished in Spain until 1820.
The Inquisition was a terrifying fact of life to those who lived in areas where it was in force. That domain would eventually include not only much of Europe, but also the far-flung colonies of Europe's Catholic powers.
The Inquisition, led by the Dominicans and the Jesuits, was usually early on the scene following each territorial acquisition of the Spanish and Portuguese empires in the 16th and 17th centuries. The methods used, which all too often were similar to those used by Serra in California or the Nazi-backed Ustashis in Croatia, sowed the seeds of reaction and aversion that have proved to be a barrier for true missionaries ever since.
Albert Close writes of the Jesuit mission to Indonesia in 1559 that "conversion was wonderfully shortened by the cooperation of the colonial governors whose militia offered' the natives the choice of the musket ball or of baptism."
Everywhere it existed, the "Holy Office" of the Inquisition spread its tentacles of fear.
When an inquisitor arrived in an area he called for reports of anyone suspected of heresy, sometimes offering rewards to spies who would report suspected heretics. Those suspected were imprisoned to await trials. The trials were held in secret and the inquisitor acted as judge, prosecutor, and jury. The accused had no lawyer. It was often simpler to confess to heresy than to defend oneself, especially since torture was often employed until the accused was ready to confess.
Because church and state had not been kept separate, the church powers could call upon the government to use its power against the convicted heretics. Anyone who fell back into heresy after repentance was turned over by the Inquisition to the regular government to be put to death. Most of those condemned to death were burned at the stake, but some were beaten to death or drowned.
It is important here to emphasize Rome's role in the brutality of the Inquisition. Roman Catholic apologists are quick to point out that it was the state that put heretics to death. This is an alibi meant to excuse the Vatican's role in the atrocities. However, Dollinger, the leading 19th century Catholic historian, stated: "The binding force of the laws against heretics lay not in the authority of secular princes, but in the sovereign dominion of life and death over all Christians claimed by the Popes as God's representatives on earth, as [Pope] Innocent III expressly states it."
In other words, the secular arm of the state acted only as it was pressured to do so by the popes. Even kings who hesitated to commit genocide on their own populaces were spurred into action by their fear of papal excommunication or subversive Catholic activities within their kingdoms.
Dollinger continues: "It was the Popes who compelled bishops and priests to condemn the heterodox to torture, confiscation of their goods, imprisonment, and death, and to enforce the execution of this sentence on the civil authorities, under pain of excommunication."
Will Durant informs us that in 1521 Leo X issued the bull Honestis which "ordered the excommunication of any officials, and the suspension of religious services in any community, that refused to execute, without examination or revision, the sentences of the inquisitors." Consider Clement V's rebuke of King Edward II: "We hear that you forbid torture as contrary to the laws of your land. But no state law can override canon law, our law. Therefore I command you at once to submit those men to torture.
The methods used by the Inquisition ranged from the barbaric to the bizarre.
When the inquisitors swept into a town an "Edict of Faith" was issued requiring everyone to reveal any heresy of which they had knowledge. Those who concealed a heretic came under the curse of the Church and the inquisitors' wrath. Informants would approach the inquisitors' lodgings under cover of night and were rewarded for information. No one arrested was ever acquitted.
Torture was considered to be essential because the church felt duty-bound to identify from the lips of the victims themselves any deviance from sound doctrine. Presumably, the more excruciating the torture, the more likely that the truth could be wrung from reluctant lips. The inquisitors were determined that it was "better for a hundred innocent people to die than for one heretic to go free".
"Heretics" were committed to the flames because the popes believed the Bible forbade Christians to shed blood. The victims of the Inquisition exceeded by hundreds of thousands the number of Christians and Jews who had suffered under pagan Roman emperors.
This wanton slaughter of innocent people was justified by Catholic theologians such as "Saint". Thomas Aquinas, who said, "If forgers and other malefactors are put to death by the secular power, there is much more reason for putting to death one convicted of heresy." In 1815, Comte Le Maistre defended the Inquisition by advocating: "The Inquisition is, in its very nature, good, mild, and preservative. It is the universal, indelible character of every ecclesiastical institution; you see it in Rome, and you can see it wherever the true Church has power."K Such a viewpoint could only be expressed by one so brainwashed as to think that the cruel, torturous deaths of dissidents to Catholicism is preferable to the survival and propagation of those who would challenge the Vatican's authority.
Yet, not all Romanists have been comfortable with the totalitarian nature of their "church". Even Jean Antoine Llorente, secretary to the Spanish Inquisition from 1790-92, was to admit: "The horrid conduct of this Holy Office weakened the power and diminished the population of Spain by arresting the progress of arts, sciences, industry, and commerce, and by compelling multitudes of families to abandon the kingdom; by instigating the expulsion of the Jews and the Moors, and by immolating on its flaming shambles more than 300,000 victims."L Historian Will Durant stated, "Compared with the persecution of heresy in Europe from 1227 to 1492, the persecution of Christians by Romans in the first 3 centuries after Christ was a mild and humane procedure. Making every allowance required by an historian and permitted to a Christian, we must rank the Inquisition, along with the wars and persecutions of our time, as among the darkest blots on the record of mankind, revealing a ferocity unknown in any beast."
Catholic apologists attempt to downplay the significance of the Inquisition, saying that relatively few people were ever directly affected. While controversy rages around the number of victims that can be claimed by the Inquisition, conservative estimates easily place the count in the millions. This does not include the equally vast numbers of human beings slaughtered in the various wars and other conflicts instigated over the centuries by Vatican political intrigues. Nor does it take it account the Holocaust wrought upon the Jews by the Nazis, led by Roman Catholics who used their own religious history to justify their modern excesses. As one secular history explains, "As the Germans instituted a bureaucracy of organized murder, so too did Torquemada, the first Grand Inquisitor, a worthy of predecessor of Heydrich and Eichmann."
Because her basic doctrinal premises remain in place, Rome can yet again rise up against her spiritual enemies at some future date when she again wields exclusive ecclesiastical control of a region. In fact, the "Holy Office" of the Inquisition still exists within the Vatican (known today as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith), awaiting the day in which it can stamp out "heresy". As recently as 1938, a popular Catholic weekly declared:
Heresy is an awful crime against God, and those who start a heresy are more guilty than they who are traitors to the civil government. If the state has a right to punish treason with death, the principle is the same that concedes to the spiritual authority the power of life and death over the arch-traitor.
"From the birth of popery to the present time, it is estimated by careful and credible historians, that more than fifty millions of the human family, have been slaughtered for the crime of heresy by popish persecutors,--an average of more than 40,000 religious murders for every year of the existence of popery to the present day. Of course the average number of victims yearly, was vastly greater, during those gloomy ages when popery was in her glory and reigned despot of the world; and it has been much less since the power of the popes has diminished to tyrannize over the nations, and to compel the princes of the earth, by the terrors of excommunication, interdiction, and deposition, to butcher their heretical subjects." (John Dowling, The History of Romanism, pp. 541-542)
The Inquisition proved how Catholicism will react when it has possession of absolute power.
There is a statue of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. In it you can see Loyola holding the Jesuit Constitution while trampling underfoot a Christian holding a Bible. And this statue resides at the Vatican TODAY! This isn't just a statue that tells us about history. It is a statue in HONOR of what the Roman Catholic Church did to all those faithful Bible believing Christians. And that evil spirit still resides in the Catholic Church.
One of the main enforcers of the Satanic Roman Catholic Inquisitions was the Jesuits. They have the same Satanic oath today. Pope Francis was a leading Jesuit for 40 years and has administered and taken this same Satanic Jesuit oath!!!
Interesting excerpt from the present Text of the Jesuit Oath:
"I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics and Protestants, as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants' heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agents of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus."
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
Luke 6:27-29: Jesus commands, "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you. do not demand it back!"
Romans 12:18-21: If it is possible, as far as it DEPENDS ON YOU, LIVE AT PEACE WITH EVERYONE! Do not take revenge my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written, "It is mine to revenge, I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head" Do not be overcome by evil but OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD!!
2 Corinthians 10:3,4: "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are *NOT* the weapons of the world."
The only weapons that NT saints may use who follow the New Covenant commands of Jesus is the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. A NT saint would not even think of joining the army of any nation and becoming a professional killer or defending himself with a gun. Unfortunately very few Groups such as the Amish and Mennonites still obey these sacred commands of Jesus.
I John 2:3-5: "We know that we have come to know Him if we obey His {Jesus'} commands. The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what He {Jesus} commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His Word, God's love is truly made complete in him."
When you join the military and become a professional killer you must make a **VOW** that you will obey all the commands of your commanding officer. And so if He commands you to drop an Atomic Bomb that will kill about 100,000 civilians including about 25,000 innocent children you must obey this command!!!
What is the OT command concerning *VOWS* and *OATHS*?? Numbers 30:2: Moses said, "This is what the Lord commands: When a man makes a *VOW* to the Lord or takes an *OATH* to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said!"
What are the NT commands concerning making *VOWS* and **OATHS*??
James 5:12: "ABOVE ALL, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.!!"
Matthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2 above}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one!!" {Just like the Satanic **OATH** taken by the Jesuits!}
The Catholic Church is guilty of a grave moral failure for allowing massive sexual abuse of children!
