I think a picture is worth a thousand words.
The monstrance, clearly picturing the sun.....the Babylonian sun wheel in St Peter's Square. The Egyptian obelisk in the middle of the sun wheel is a relic of sun worship.
Then there is the shape of the host, unlike the broken, unleavened bread that Christ shared with his apostles. The symbol on the Pope's headgear is the sun and much of the statuary...all are tied to sun worship.
No organization is free from the scourge of pedophilia, especially when those people are in positions of trust. But I have yet to see an institution that cultivated this crime on the same level, and to the same extent that Roman Catholic Church did in its boarding schools churches and institutions all over the world. No alter boy was safe.
Jesus did not hold back criticism of the Pharisees in his day and nor did his disciples. Even John the Baptist was not backward in castigating them for their hypocrisy. People had to know what frauds their teachers were, lest they make the mistake of thinking that they were being taught God's truth.
Would you like to take Catholic doctrine and compare it to the Christianity that Jesus taught? I assure you that you will find no similarity at all. Its departure from Christ's teachings was probably about 99%. The only thing they retained was the name Jesus Christ, but their conduct brought nothing but shame and reproach on everything he stood for.
It is not my judgment they have to fear. I am only a messenger and people are free to ignore anything I say...but no one will be able to plead ignorance.
Actually, we have not predicted the end of the world. We have only hoped for the coming of God's kingdom...that is the good news that we preach in all the earth as Jesus said we should. (Matt 24:14) We have had hope for a few "years" that came and went but we have "kept on the watch" as Jesus said to do, and it has kept our hope alive as these last days draw to a close.
Matt 24: 42-44:
"Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
“But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into. On this account, you too prove yourselves ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it."
Each day that goes by is a day closer. Nothing wrong with being ready.
