The Rise of the American Papist (Part 2)

… if you haven’t read Part 1 …

So far, I have biblically established the Roman Beast of Daniel and Revelation and it’s involvement in End Time events. At the very least this makes the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican, and especially the Papacy spiritually suspect in terms of it’s having a legitimate Christian role. It seems it’s role is Anti-Christian instead.

Now, please understand something. This does NOT make Catholics suspect! Individual Catholics are part of the Body of Christ and none have the right to say otherwise. Neither does this make all Priests suspect! I have met so many decent and good, spiritually true Priests in my day. This is not an attack on them either. As always, I’m discussing systems and organizations here. In fact, history is replete with stories of well-known, wonderful examples of Popes as well!

But given biblical prophecy, you cannot deny the Papacy’s link to the Anti-Christ. This raises a question. Would you think the religious/political Right in this country would be pro-Papacy, or not?

It turns out that, as a group, they are very much pro-Vatican, pro-Papacy, and in some regard Anti-Bible.

I’ll start with the The Catholic Campaign for America. It is advised, BTW, to always follow my links. It makes things much clearer. Founded in 1989 by Thomas V. Wykes, Jr. the CCA has the expressed purpose, according to the National Catholic Register, to "bring a politically powerful and distinctively Catholic voice to the U.S. political scene". A brochure for the First Annual National Convention (of the CCA) to be held in Washington, D.C., November 17, 18, 1995 also stated the following":

"The Catholic Campaign for America was founded in 1991 with the mission to activate Catholic citizens, increase the Catholic electorate's influence in formulating policy, and focus the public's attention on the richness and beauty of Catholic teaching. The National Convention is one more step on the road to achieving our mission. Our goal is to attract 1,500 Catholics from across America to join together in this unique Catholic experience."

and the brochure concludes;

"Catholic Americans are uniquely positioned to bring their influence to bear on society. We are the largest denomination in America. We believe it is time that we give a voice to countless Catholic Americans like you who yearn for a more moral America."

IOW, this organization was created to accomplish exactly what the Founding Fathers were worried about; the Catholicization of America and an overwhelming influence of the Papacy on American policy.

Here are just some of the names of support associated with the CCA:

Mary Cunningham Agee – Activist - The Nurturing Network

Richard V. Allen – Government - Reagan National Security Advisor

William Bennett – Government - Former Drug Czar

Michael Ferguson – Politician - Congressman from New Jersey, 2001-09

Thomas Monaghan – Business - Domino's Pizza founder, pro-life activist

Frank Shakespeare – Diplomat - US Ambassador to the Vatican, 1986-89

John Cardinal O'Connor - Archbishop of New York

Henry Hyde - U.S. House of Representatives

- quoted in 1995 saying: "the Catholic Campaign for America is long overdue. We now have 128 Catholics in the House and 21 in the Senate. If we had the Catholics behind us we would always carry the day."

Ralph Reed - executive director of the Christian Coalition of which Pat Robertson is the president, and certainly no Catholic stated in his speech at the CCA Conference:

“… sorrow for the "bigotry" expressed to Catholics in the past and to encourage the CCA to work with the Christian Coalition in the 1996 election.”

"I believe that the emerging alliance, the emerging partnership of Catholics and Evangelical Protestants, is going to be the most powerful force in the electorate in the 1990's and beyond-and anybody that ignores that alliance is going to make a big mistake.”

"We are at an historic time in our nation and in our relationship as Protestants and Catholics.”

"The change we are seeing in America is not just a political change. It is more deeply a spiritual shift that is shifting the plates of the American political landscape. And Catholics have been at the very center of that. According to exit polls taken after the 1994 election, for the first time in American history Roman Catholics, a majority of them-56 percent of church-attending Catholics and 51 percent of all Catholics-voted Republican in an off-year election.”

"And I believe that, just as the Evangelicals have become the base vote of the Republican party, Catholics are now today the swing vote in American politics. Any candidate who wins the Catholic vote will be able to govern America. No president has been elected since John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 without winning the Catholic vote. Richard Nixon won it in 1968 and 72, Jimmy Carter barely carried it in 1976, Ronald Reagan and George Bush carried it throughout the 80' s, and Bill Clinton carried a plurality-not a majority-but a plurality of the Catholic vote in 1992.”

“The Catholic vote holds the key to the future of America. And I believe that if they can unite-if Catholics can unite with the Evangelical Christians-the Protestants, who share their views on the sanctity of innocent human life, on the need for religious liberty and school choice and common sense values- “

“I believe if Catholics and Evangelicals can unite there is no person who runs for office in any city or any state in America that can't be elected and there is no bill that can't be passed in either house of Congress or any state legislative chamber anywhere in America. It is the emerging force in the electorate today.”

"And how historic that truly is, because I don't need to tell you that there was a time in American history when major political parties in the 19th century actually had anti-Catholic planks in their political platforms.”

[end quote]

So, Ralph Reed, one of the most important Protestants in America supports and defends what our Founding Fathers decried as anathema to America and what the Bible describes in this way:

Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
Rev 13:4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
Rev 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
Rev 13:6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Rev 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Two other famous Protestants joining with Reed in this Roman endeavor are Charles Colson and Bill Bright with Campus Crusade for Christ.

Have you noticed the very public conversion to Catholicism of Newt Gingrich and his promotion of the Pope’s agenda? He knows which side his bread is buttered on!

I would recommend that you read this blog also. It’s a wonderful parallel to this study. It speaks to the official religion of the United States government.

---------------------------------------

To fight this organization is to proclaim oneself out of touch with the religious Right of America today. Just ask John Hagee.

As for myself, I most assuredly make this claim. I see the religious Right in this country becoming more and more dangerous, even though I will likely agree with some of the legislative changes they promote. I also realize others have already covered this subject but it CANNOT be ignored. To do so is to endanger your eternal life with God. I am very serious about this. Please trust this old sinner and take all this into account. As the Communist, Anti-God Left continues to pursue it's extreme agenda, as American society continues to decline into a Sodom and Gomorrah-like state, the political Right WILL eventually come to power! And as the pendulum swings back, they will over-react!

---------------------------------------

In ending, I would like to ask all Christians a question.

If you are a Protestant you must ask yourself this question:

Do you claim allegiance to an Image of the Beast – one of it’s supporters – one of it’s harlot daughters, - or not?

If you are a Catholic you must ask yourself:

Am I willing to deny the Pope is “the Holy Father” and only worship God ?

The Rise of the American Papist (Part 1)

The Left, the Right, the Anarchist – the Democrat, the Republican, the Libertarian – the Communist, the Socialist, the Builders of Chaos - no matter which political stripe you lay claim to nowadays, all of them have questionable integrity and they all have begun to favor each other like inbred children from first cousin fornications.

You can say you’re in “the political middle” but it matters little since middle America has been effectively subdued, attacked, and molested as to be of little consequence. They have been under-educated out of existence by government schools and taxed into oblivion.

The Left, those Communist Democrats, deserve first mention and are the easiest to complain about because their whole claim to fame has always been the grab for more governmental power and the enslavement of the common man. Those groups which support this effort for their own selfish reasons, such as labor unions, big banks and big business are simply those useful idiots of Leninist fame who will eventually be affixed to harness and manipulated like the rabid dogs they are. This has already happened before our eyes. What do think the real purpose of the Bailouts were? George Soros wants more control and the boy who would be a man tries his best to give it to him! The false messiah has become the epitome of the classic Uncle Tom.

The Libertarians, with their pagan goddess Ayn Rand, mean well and are probably the most sincere of the three. Unfortunately, their sincere belief in man free from any government law produces chaos and ultimately anarchy. Libertarians refuse to believe that the 10 Commandments offer up the only solid Godly basis for our public and private behavior towards each other and towards our God. Instead, they believe in man.

I’ve saved the Republicans for last on purpose. They have always been the do-gooders of society, the innocent little boys who always treated mother right and married “good” girls. They saved America from slavery in the Civil War and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (most of the Democrats were against it). They believe that morality can be legislated.

For most of my adult life I have been a registered Republican. Most religious people on the political right are. Now, however, I have no political party affiliation and I consider the Republicans to be as dangerous, or more so, than the other two groups. Here’s why:

Our country was founded on a very basic principle; the separation of Civil Law from Religious Law. It was born out of the Enlightenment and our Founding Fathers were very much aware of the abuses and persecutions inflicted on Christians by the Roman Church during the dark ages. Although separation of church and state is a given at America’s inception, it can still be argued that our system was established using the tenets of the 10 Commandments as a basis for law and to promote religious freedom. Additionally, our mostly Protestant Reformed “fathers” wanted to limit the influence of the Roman Church within our society and our government. (Read this book!)

As I will point out the religious/political Right in our nation has done a complete reversal on these principles. History has shown, over and over again, that when religious institutions gain influence over government, persecution naturally boils to the surface. Aside from the great biblical example of the dark ages and the Roman Church, just take a critical look at one of the greatest of all cults, Radicalized Islam. The bastardization of Islam is today’s source for much of the world’s murder, rape, terrorism, and human rights abuse in all it’s imaginable forms. If the Roman Church were to regain enough influence it would return to it’s historical persecution and, this time; it would be much more horrendous than the age of darkness.

Dan 12:1 "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.

You see, the Bible explains that the last great civil power that arises and has governmental control over much of the world has already taken place. It was the historic Roman Empire. Modern Superpowers like the United States don’t take over foreign lands. In fact, once we have finished our “business” there, we rebuild the nation and leave. Some Christians believe that a rejuvenated Roman Empire will arise from the European Union but can you honestly envision the E.U. coming together as a nation and conquering the world? Some believe Islam will conquer the world eventually and that it is the last great “world order”.

But the Bible teaches that the last great power will be religious, based in Rome (the Papacy), and will have the assistance of another Beast (the little Lamb - the U.S.) and will exert religious influence affecting the economy of the world, to enforce religious law through economic means. (read Rev. Ch. 13)

Rev 13:16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
Rev 13:17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

This Beast of Daniel and Revelation will take the place of the most High and require worship of it’s head (the famous Anti-Christ) – instead of the worship of God. Your handi-work and the beliefs of your mind (forehead) will come into play - in other words, when you work and who you worship. The Beast religious entity must have the support of the world's Superpower to enforce this ruling. They will need a world-based economy before this happens. Do you see our economic system becoming a one world economy? I do ...

And what does all this have to do with the religious Right in America?

You’ll see …

Dearborn Police: Defending Islam against the Constitution

Folks, Michigan is a hotbed of Muslim and Shari'a activity, especially Detroit and Dearborn. The police in these two cities regularly ignore our Constitutional rights and abide by local Sharia'a law instead.

Are there any Americans left in the State of Michigan?
