Roman Catholic. Part 8. Jesuits

March 29, 2024

The Roman Catholic Church and its Jesuits fight back! They never give up, no matter how devastating the setback. They adapt. Are we back to this strategic question? How could the Roman Catholic Church regain what the Great Reformation took from them? This group of Catholic zealots was formed as the Society of Jesus in 1543 to overturn the Protestant Reformation, marking the start of the Counter-Reformation. It was and remains a military-style order called the ‘army of the Pope’.

Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), a Spanish knight, founded this order with the approval of Pope Paul III. One website (Wikipedia) had this to say about the Jesuit Order. “The Society of Jesus was founded in 1540…. Ignatius Loyola had gathered around him an energetic band of well-educated men who desired nothing more than to help others find God in their lives.” The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is far-reaching even today. Only someone who is bought off or ignorant of the history of the Jesuits could ever make such a ridiculous and obscene statement as this one by Wikipedia.

On the same website, under the question, “Why do Jesuits have a bad reputation?” we have this comment. “They have sometimes run afoul of Catholic groups holding different opinions on church authorities, and they also have been accused of conniving in politics.” March 18, 2022, emphasis added. For anyone with any knowledge of the satanic character and nature of the Jesuit order, these comments are almost laughable. But it is great propaganda and public relations for the Roman Catholic Church. This order of priests has been kicked out some 70-83 countries, many of them Catholic, over the decades because of their “conniving in politics” not to mention their many other evils such as assassinations of political leaders (one or two American Presidents), other popes, and being the instigator of numerous wars around the world including our nation. The ‘one true Church of Jesus Christ’ has started or fomented many wars over the years. Does that sound like something Jesus Christ and his disciples would do? Is that what love does?

And let us not forget the “conniving in politics” of the Roman Catholic Church’s work with the Nazi Government during the Second World War. How many millions of people lost their lives and possessions when the Jesuits were “conniving in politics” with Hitler and his team? (See my first article if you want more details).

If you are interested in more information about the Jesuits, I recommend the book by Edmund Paris (he died in 1970), The Secret Society of the Jesuits. Wikipedia says that Paris was “an anti-Catholic polemicist.” As you may already know, Wikipedia can’t be trusted and must be used with great caution. Wikipedia could have said that he was a hero in exposing the “conniving in politics” work of the Jesuits in starting or encouraging wars, but instead tells its readers that he was an anti-Catholic bigot. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The black pope is the head of the Jesuits. Several people have likened the Gestapo to the Jesuit order of the Roman Catholic Church, for good reason. German Nazi leaders fashioned the Gestapo after the order of the Jesuits. Remember that the Jesuit order began centuries before the Nazi party existed. It is said, by these video authors and many other authors, that Hitler was the son of the Roman Catholic church. I will provide some of that evidence.

The purpose of this article is to expose the nature and moral character of the order of the Jesuits. What fruit has this tree produced? Is it a good tree with good fruit?

See the Jesuit oath for an example of a document produced in hell. This oath, which every high-ranking Jesuit must affirm, sets aside his conscience and binds him to the slavery of his superiors to do whatever they ask (no matter how evil). No questions asked. You already know the answer to that question from the previous articles that have exposed the wickedness of the Order from its founding. In summary, the Order of the Jesuits:

• Will start wars, assassinate rulers, murder, steal, lie, cheat, and forge documents or do whatever they deem to be necessary. The end justifies the means.
• Hate heretics and the Reformation, Bible, and Bible believing Christians. They will do everything they can to eliminate their influence and bring them into the service of the Roman Church by the sword, if necessary.
• Hate the Authorized Version of the Bible and will do whatever it takes, no matter how immoral, to destroy its influence.
• Hate anyone who will not bow the knee to the Pope.

Jesuit priorities

Dr. Brady, in his book titled Final Authority (pages 196, 197), makes the following comment. “However, the Jesuits’ highest priority lay in recapturing those nations lost to the Protestant Reformation. The methods employed by this clandestine order are worthy of study, as their ultimate target remains America and the despised Authorized Version. The modus operandi for the Society of Jesus can be outlined by the following six stages: education, indoctrination, infiltration, sedition, sedation, and persecution. History confirms that a Jesuit takeover invariably begins with the establishment of colleges and universities sporting academic standards to attract the aspiring scholars of a targeted nation. This inaugural stratagem of education cannot be overemphasized. Apostasy is always conceived in the classrooms.” What an insightful quote. I am always amazed at how much importance Christians place on education, even at the hands of scholars and teachers, who will turn their kids away from them and the God of the Bible they learned about as a child.

As part of the Jesuit strategic response to the Great Reformation, the Jesuits got involved in education, social programs, business, media, and the infiltration of other agencies and churches. That is how they would take back the Protestant world, especially, but the world as a whole as well. However, it was in academics that they would bring Protestants to reject many of their beliefs. It included the training of those who would eventually be involved in Biblical translation. They infiltrated colleges and introduced humanism, not Biblical Christianity. Spurgeon warned about Jesuit indoctrination. All of this strategy was to undermine the authority of the Bible and prop up the authority of the Pope and Roman Catholic tradition. Jesuits despised the Word of God, the Bible, especially any Bible not sanctioned by the Catholic Church.

The history of the Jesuit order began in the mid-16th century. From that starting date up to recent days, this article will focus on. But let us not forget that the history of the Roman Catholic Church dates back many centuries. That history is very similar to the bloody history of the Jesuits since its inception.

When exactly did the Roman Catholic Church begin?

Catholics say their church began with Peter as the first pope, which is simply not true. Others say the Roman Catholic Church began with Constantine in the early 300s. Still others think it started when the Western Roman Empire fell in 476, or around 380 when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, or when Christians started murdering Christians around 385. Dr. James White dates the start of the Roman Catholic Church to the 12th or 13th century, when the mass was fully developed. I agree with those who date the start of the Roman Catholic Church to the period when the ‘church’ started killing other Christians, under the central power of the state, with the Pope as the head. There is much about the Roman Catholic Church that changes over time. Consider the addition of new church dogmas over the centuries.

If you have read my other articles, you have already heard about much of this malevolent Jesuit activity already. But lest you think this is just a figment of my imagination, let us briefly look at some specific examples. These examples will be chronological. No one is saying that the Roman Catholic Church is entirely or the only party responsible for the blood that has been spilled in the following examples. Most of the time, Rome gets her proxies to do the bloody work for her. Other wicked men and women are also to be blamed, but the principle “what you do through others, you do yourself” applies to the Roman Catholic Church and all of us as individuals.

1. The Crusades of 1096 to 1291 are well before the Jesuit order was founded in the 1500s. (Refer to Part 4, Persecution). The same applies to the Inquisition under the Dominican order and Pope Innocent 3rd, which started in the 13^th century. However, the Spanish Inquisition lasted from 1478 to 1834, and the Jesuits were very much a part of this bloody purge. There is a lot of disagreement as to how many were killed by the Roman Catholics. It ranges from thousands to hundreds of thousands to tens of millions.
2. The Jesuit Gunpowder Plot in England in 1605. I have already talked about this, see the previous article. When all else fails, the Jesuits resort to murder.
3. American Revolutionary War, 1775 to 1783. Pope Pius VI praised King George III for the American Revolutionary War. The Pope wanted to prevent this country from forming around religious liberty. Imagine that! Religious liberty is anathema to the Catholic Church. With a simple Google search, we find that 25,000 to 75,000 lives were lost directly in battle, or from their wounds, or as prisoners of war. Again, let us thank the Roman Catholic church for its assistance in making war in our nation. One might have expected the “one true Church of Jesus Christ” to assist in creating peace and not war, stupid me. Rome knows how to use the words of peace to deceive, but excels at the violence of force.
4. Civil War, 1861 to 1865, and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. We have written testimony from a former Catholic priest who knew Abraham Lincoln personally. This Roman Catholic priest was convinced that the Jesuits were behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. In my first article, I quoted Abraham Lincoln, who admitted that the Civil War was made possible when the Roman Catholic Church promised to help the South. The church would get other nations to provide arms and military support, and the Roman church would also help financially. (The Roman Catholic Church is a cash flow juggernaut.) Lincoln said that the South would have never considered a war with the North on its own. How might we express our gratitude to the Roman Catholic Church for the loss of 620,000 (simple Google search) American lives? (See my comments from my first article regarding the Roman Catholic Church. Probably one other US President was also assassinated by the Jesuits.)
5. The war of 1870 to 1871. “France herself declared, this ‘war of 1870, which proved by history to be the work of the Jesuits,’ as M. Gaston Bally wrote. Taken from the Book titled The Secret History of the Jesuits by Edmond Paris, page 81. This was the Franco-Prussian War or Franco-German War. It was a war between the Second French Empire and the North German Confederation, which was led by the Kingdom of Prussia. The result was around 139,000 dead or wounded and 474,000 captured. (It is easy to find lots of conflicting numbers using Google.) The Roman Catholic Church is still sowing the seeds of peace through war.
6. World War 1 from 1914 to November 1918. The role of the Jesuits and the Roman Catholic Church in World War I, in brief, is this. Pope Pius X did everything he could to encourage a war, urging the emperor of Austria, Francis-Joseph, to “chastise the Serbians”. The Pope’s main plan or objective was to strike a decisive blow to the Russian Orthodox Church, its centuries-old rival. The Pope died at the start of World War WW 1. It is a fantastic thing to read about how the Roman Church could encourage the war vigorously behind the scenes and pretend to seek peace at the same time. But that is the strategy of the Jesuits: duplicity.  Years later, “Pius XII said this about Pius X who he wanted to canonize, “Pius X did all that he could to prevent the start of the 1914 war and died in anguish when he foresaw the sufferings it would unleash.” “If this was satire, it could not be put in a better way.” (Page 118 of same book). “In 1914, M. Yves Guyot, a true prophet, said, “If war breaks out, listen, you men who think that the Roman Church is their symbol of order and peace, and do not search for blame outside of the Vatican: it will be the sly instigator, as in the war of 1870.” (Page 119). In total, it is estimated that there were 8.5 million military deaths, 13 million civilian deaths, totaling about 21 million people. There is one thing the Jesuits are exceedingly good at, and that is murdering those they hate, using war that others prosecute for them, and telling the world they are only interested in peace. Out of both sides of their mouth, they speak blessings and curses at the same time. Jesus had something to say about fountains that bring forth both clean and bitter water.
7. World War 2 from 1939 to 1945. The role of the Jesuits and the Roman Catholic Church in this war is of special interest. The grand total of the number dead is estimated at 70-85 million. That includes military and civilians who were killed by genocide, massacres, bombings, disease, and starvation. The Jesuits and Pope Pius XII were partners with Hitler and the Nazi regime. Without the help of the Roman Catholic Church, Hitler, a Catholic himself, along with many of his top leadership, could not have done what he did without Rome’s help, which included moral support, political help, and most importantly, silence when news got out about the genocide going on. I have already addressed the Roman Catholic Church’s role in this mass murder. I believe this pope had a special devotion to the Blessed Mary. Do you think Mary was as pleased as the Pope was with 70 to 85 million dead?  
8. World War 2 in Yugoslavia. Edmond Paris wrote a book entitled “Convert or Die!” This part of the Second World War went unnoticed by many. The book cover states that, “A new nation was carved out of Yugoslavia, the Independent State of Croatia, and it was to be entirely Roman Catholic. Its leaders promised to either convert or execute (murder) the non-Catholic Serbs. Over 700,000 were tortured, beheaded, even burned alive, all in the name of Christ.” Many of the Ustaše Croatian soldiers were, in fact, Catholic priests! The Pope likely gave them a special dispensation for their excellent service to the little horn. The satanic types of torture and murder would make Satan himself blush. It is too sickening to repeat.
9. Communism and the role of the Jesuits. At one time, the Roman Catholic Church was supportive of communism as it thought this could be the way to get rid of the Russian Orthodox Church entirely. The Russian Orthodox Church is the enemy of the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church, by helping Russian communists get rid of the Monarchy with a tsar (dictator) as the leader, was promised by Russian communists to help “convert or die” the Russian Orthodox Christians to the Roman Catholic Church. Russia double-crossed the Roman Catholic Church, and that is one key reason why the Roman Catholic Church aligned with Germany and the Nazi Party to destroy Russia. This information was taken from a book titled “Smokescreens”, by Jack Chick. Because Jack has written much about the evils of the Roman Church, because he loves Catholics enough to tell them the truth, he has been attacked relentlessly by the Roman Church and its proxies, which include backslidden Evangelicals. That is how you can know he is on the right track: CINOs and the Roman Catholic Church attacked him.
10. . “Catholic Terror In Ireland”. That is the title of a book written by Avro Manhattan. He credits Rome with the blood bath in this country, all done to gain total control and be entirely Catholic, no matter the cost. For the Roman Catholic Church, the end justifies the means, which is a doctrine of hell. Rome and its Jesuits manipulate and direct governments with the wisdom of the god of this world. Rome and the Jesuits will not stop until they have dominion over all nations and all peoples. That is the goal and must be the goal for ‘the one true church’ of the infallible Pope. If the Pope is Christ’s Vicar on earth, then all must bow to him, even if that means the use of force or contradicts the theology of the Savior.
11. . The Vietnam War, 1955 to April 1975. The role of the Jesuits and Roman Catholic Church in starting, encouraging, and instigating the Vietnam War is probably challenging for Catholics to swallow. Again, a simple Google search states that 262,000 American deaths, VC deaths of 444,000 to 666,000, civilian deaths of both North and South Vietnam, 405,000 to 627,000, for a grand total of 1,353,000.  Avro Manhattan wrote a book titled Vietnam: Why Did We Go? He said, “The Catholic Church must be considered as a main promoter in the origin, escalation, and prosecution of the Vietnamese conflict.” This war began as a religious war and was promoted to the American people as a war against communism. Remember that the Roman Catholic Church is an enemy of Russia and communism, in addition to being an enemy of the Russian Orthodox Church. I wonder how pleased Mary is at the large volume of blood that has been spilled as a result of this war?

Looking up the dates and statistics using Google is an unpleasant and frustrating experience. Most sites I looked at bend over backwards to justify and make excuses for the Roman Catholic Church in all its doings as it relates to these many wars. And there is much more that time and space prevent me from mentioning. The Roman Catholic institution is one of the most powerful in the world. Its reach in politics, entertainment, intelligence gathering, media, public relations, education, business, and all levels of government is remarkable. It’s almost like the whore of Babylon has someone helping behind the scenes.

The inquisition is not over.

Some say the start of the Society of Jesus was the reinstatement of the Inquisition in the 16^th century. Hundreds of thousands of Christians were murdered in France and other countries. Reading of the Bible was outlawed, and having Bibles was outlawed. Again, Rome killed groups like the ‘Waldenses’ and tried to exterminate them, but it did not work. Some Reformers thought this group of believers represented the best of the primitive church and complimented them for never bowing the knee to the antichrist pope.

Some of our founding fathers of the United States knew of the evil Jesuits. (See my first article.) Over the years, some 10 popes condemned the Jesuits, and Jesuits supposedly killed a couple of Popes. Knowing what I know about the Jesuits, that seems likely. Only God knows how many wars around the world they have started or encouraged by the Jesuits and the Roman Catholic Church.

The Jesuits were behind the Council of Trent in 1545, which finally concluded in 1563, after its three sessions over 18 years. The purpose of the Council of Trent was to refute and condemn to hell all of the doctrines and believers of the Reformation and to reinstate the supremacy of the Pope, the Roman Catholic Church, Rome’s Bible, and all its unbiblical doctrines.

The video authors talked about what happened in 1825. There was a Jesuit plan that was made public. The plan was to seize control of the Bible and the whole world. The Jesuits are like the CIA, MI5, and MI6, and the greatest intelligence agency in the world. Jesuits believe that all nations must obey the Pope, which explains why most wars involved Rome and the Jesuits. Jacopo Leone wrote a book titled “The Jesuit Conspiracy: The Secret Plan of the Order”. The editor of the book became acquainted with the author very well in the mid-1800s. After doing his exhaustive due diligence, he decided to work with and help Jacopo Leone, who had since left the Jesuit order. The shocking aspect of the author’s revelation was the Jesuit plan of world domination by any means necessary. The Jesuit plan is to subjugate all humanity, body and soul, to the Pope of Rome, the Vicar of Jesus Christ. The back cover of the book states this, “As you examine Monsignor Leone’s claims, how the Jesuit control from Corsica to China, you will draw the same conclusion: they are simply taking the agenda of the Fourth Beast-the Great Harlot of Babylon- to its ultimate conclusion.” This was written by Giovanni ‘Johnny’ Cirucci, former Marine, Army Officer, and Iraq war veteran, author and researcher of Vatican History and inter-government manipulation.

But how and why would they take control of the Bible? The true Bible contradicts the Roman Catholic Church’s dogma and doctrines from start to finish. Jesuits know this. The Jesuits and the Popes all agree that the pope is greater than the Bible, which is full of errors and heresy. Catholics must renounce the final authority of the Bible. The Roman Catholic Church is the final authority, and its Pope. They are behind the critical theories of Biblical evaluation, to destroy trust in the Bible. I have already covered the many ways in which the Roman Catholic Church has attempted to destroy the Bible. In brief they are: forbid the reading of the Bible to the common man or woman; punish, torture and murder those who refuse to stop reading the Bible; burn Bibles and other literature that contradicts Rome; create reasons why the Bible can’t be trusted such as evolution, higher criticism, discoveries, new translations; by having Protestant dupes disparage the Bible and lead people back to Rome and so on.

Even as late as 1843, Catholics were burning Bibles in New York state. Author John Dowling’s book, “The Burning of the Bibles”. Over the centuries, catholic bishops, cardinals, and popes all taught the insufficiency of the Bible for truth. The Bible plus catholic tradition and the pope’s approval are necessary for one to know all the truth of God and to be saved. (I thought Jesus was our savior, not the Pope). This is the catholic doctrine for well over 1,000 years, according to the video series I mentioned at the outset.

          As usual, there is just too much material to go over. I must bring this article to a close. In his book, “The Jesuit Conspiracy,” the author, Jacopo Leone, summarizes his findings starting on page 227. There are just a couple of things that I believe are critically important to understand about the Society of Jesus. And who better to tell us these things than a former Jesuit, Jacopo Leone.

          To end the subject of the Jesuits’ hatred for the Bible, let me quote Jacopo Leone. “The Jesuit knew the danger of placing the Scriptures in the hands of the people; for is it not virtually saying to them, Reflect and Judge!” page 237 of the Book, “The Jesuit Conspiracy.” The Roman Catholic Church, especially the Jesuits, believes that they alone are qualified to interpret scripture. The last thing Jesuits want is for their church members to “reflect and judge.” We are just too evil, stupid, and spiritually blind to understand the profound truths of God. And that is what they want everyone to believe, so they will willingly and ignorantly submit to the authority of the Roman Catholic Church.

          According to the author, Leone, the cardinal sin of the order of the Jesuits is their infinite Luciferian pride. The author wrote that to celebrate their hundredth year in existence, they composed a book in their honor. “The symbols which decorate the frontispiece of this work sufficiently prove that they esteem the humblest member of their order as infinitely above the rest of mankind. They call themselves “The Company of the Perfect”. The contents of the volume accord with the arrogance of its emblems.” (Page 227, emphasis added).

          The author says the Jesuits believe they are “the masters of the world, the most learned of all mortal men, the doctors of the nations, the Appollos, the Alexanders of theology, prophets descended from heaven, who deliver the oracles (of God) in the ecumenic councils.” (Page 227, emphasis added).

Let the Word of the Living God rebuke such unbelievable arrogance. In case you were wondering, God hates the proud and haughty person. “Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: The worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How are thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend to heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit”. Isaiah 14:11-15. I encourage you to read the rest of Chapter 14. When Lucifer is brought down to hell, the universe of beings will say, “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms, that made the world a wilderness and destroyed the cities, that opened not the house of its prisoners?” This is what the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuits have given the world in the last 1500 years.

According to the video, Malichi Martin, a former Jesuit priest, said that there was and is the worship of Lucifer in the ranks of the Roman Church leadership. Isaiah 14’s description of Lucifer fits Roman Catholic leadership very well, don’t you think?

“These six things doth the LORD hate; yes, seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart the deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16-19. This is the job description of the Jesuit. They do all these things God hates and even more.

The author, Leone, writes, “Saint Francis Borgia, one of the earliest generals of the order, had before this acknowledged that poison was in its veins….It is impossible to deny that the doctrines, everywhere to be found in the writings (Jesuits), authorize theft, rape, perjury, debauchery and even murder; that, when they have judged it expedient to get rid of a king, they have not shrunk from making the apology of regicide (killing of a king).” (Page 228). Everything God hates, the Jesuits allow for themselves, pretending that they speak as God, which they do not and never have. This is the result of hubris, pride and arrogance of the Priests and Popes of Rome, which is in the blood of the Jesuit according to the author. All such will end up in hell, forever separated from the God they vainly profess to love and serve.

Confession

          Confessionis the last subject that I will comment on in this article. The ‘Society of the Perfect’ uses the Roman Catholic Church sacrament of confession to build its vast intelligence empire (and to pretend to forgive sins). Their intelligence apparatus is probably the greatest and most effective one in the history of the world. In all nations and the towns and cities of those nations, the Jesuits have become the confessors of the political elite, the royalty, the leaders of industry, the rich, and government leaders and their family members. Weekly, they keep records, and every six months, for many years, they have reported to their superiors information that may be useful in influencing, encouraging, deflecting, distracting, coercing, or redirecting efforts and plans that might run contrary to the interests of the Roman Catholic Church. You can imagine what secrets they knew and used to get their way and turn civil servants into their servants. It still works today.

          The audacity of the priests of Rome using the confessional as a means to uncover sexual secrets and exploit those secrets is genuinely breathtaking. Charles Chiniquy, a Roman Catholic Church priest, wrote the Book titled “50 Years in the Church of Rome”. He also wrote this book, “The Priest, The Woman and The Confessional.” If you have never heard of it, find it and read it. He relates story after story about how families, marriages, and lives have been destroyed because of the confessional. Here are some of his observations.

• A woman loses her self-respect when she feels she must reveal sexual secrets to her confessor. Many times, it opens Pandora’s box and destroys that woman’s chastity.
• Hearing these kinds of secrets, the priest (a supposedly celibate priest) is tempted to the uttermost and most often is plunged into sin.

Hearing all the gory details of sexual infidelity is gunpowder for the priest. It destroys the priest personally, and when he speaks of this to his superiors, he destroys families, states, and nations. The entire thing is of the devil. Jacopo Leone also wrote of the significant moral failures of the priesthood back in the 1800s.

What is surprising to me is that most people, including Catholics, do not understand that the sexual immorality (both homosexual and heterosexual, including the sexual abuse of children) is nothing new to the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican. In the last couple of decades, the rampant sexual abuse by the clerics of the Roman Catholic Church has made front page news as if all this is something new in the history of the Church. It has been there since the beginning, especially when celibacy was required. Nothing could be further from the truth; this is something new in the Roman Catholic Church. But you must understand, the Roman Catholic enterprise has a public relations machine in every nation, and it is a well-oiled and efficient machine. It is also very effective. Remember the slap-on-the-hands comments from Wikipedia about the “conniving in politics” by the Jesuits, but the glowing and profuse comments about all their good works and ideals. That is just one small example.

In my first article, Part 1, I addressed some of this sexual abuse by the priests and nuns of the Roman Catholic Church and the rampant homosexuality of the priests of Rome. Worse is that over the church’s sordid history, most often the abusing cleric would be moved to another location and repeat the same behavior after destroying lives and families in that community. The Catholic Church hierarchy knew all about the sexual abuse of its priests and nuns and hid it. Shame on them, and why are they not in jail?

               Sexual abuse and infidelity involving pastors and church leaders go on in other denominations of Christian Churches. But what most nominal Christians seem to believe is that this is normal and that there is nothing wrong with the church or its teachings. How naïve to think that way. If we, as professing Christians, really lived according to scripture, sexual abuse and infidelity would be rare, not common. 

Anyone in church leadership who is guilty of sexual infidelity or abuse is not fit to lead and must be removed from office. It is time for judgment to begin, and it starts at the house of God first. There can be restoration in the future. I would never attend a church where the leadership was in favor of gay marriage, abortion on demand, or excused any other sin that men and women commit. Sin must be rebuked, not condoned. Pope Francis is allowing Catholic priests to bless homosexual unions. What an evil decision he made. God does not bless homosexual unions, but the Pope, as the Vicar of Christ, thinks he can bless what God curses. That should speak volumes to the Roman Catholic about the Pope, but probably doesn’t.

We are now going to consider the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church. What glorious examples of piety, godliness, and holiness do they provide the world?
