: I have had it.
: And I know I am going to get flamed most likely for this one. And I welcome that.
: I have had enough of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church.
: Ever since it's creation, the Vatican has tried to control the influence of the world - even take over the world.
: This is the article that was the last straw on the camel's back for me.

: I wish I can march down to the Vatican and expose them for the evil thing that it is.
: The Vatican is the one that twisted the Bible from it's original text.
: The Vatican is what was formed of the Roman Empire, a.k.a The People that Killed Christ.
: In an attempt to take control of the world and make people worship him, the first pope, hijacked the Christian religion and made it the corner stone for Idoltry.
: I tested the authenticity of the Holiness of worshiping Mary down in Mexico, as almost all Mexicans do...I asked God to allow me to talk to Mary and asked Mary to send a sign to show my school buddies I was not crazy with my predicitons, boldness, generosity and charity.
: The results was the most horrifying result I could ever think of. After I prayed alone in my room, my fellow students were hanging out in the lounge.
: Now in Mexico there are a lot of open air inns. So the rooms walk right out to the lobby. A black shadowy figure was materalizing above me. This fear came over me. I went calmly out to the other students sat there for about 1 minute and then this shadow horse and rider went through the door. Everyone saw it. It went down the hallway to where a student was resting who was sick. It turned and stared at me. If you ever had heard the phrase 'scared stiff' I exprianced that right there. I was so paralyzed with fear I could hardly breathe. I mustered up the strength to say to it, 'You leave her alone!'. Then it turned, went out the door and rode up into the sky.
: The only other time I saw that figure was when I witnessed revelations about 5 months prior in a dream, and when he was outside my house in another dream about 1 year prior.
: I have not seen it since then.
: Nor have I ever prayed to or asked anything from other than Jesus, God and the Heavens.
: That was enough proof and warning enough not to pray to other gods or images of anything here on Earth or of Heaven.
: The Bible warned us not to pray to any images or signs, such as Mary or the Lady of Guadalupe.
: From my expreiance, such entities may exist - for there are other life forms and energies that we can not see yet, nor detect. Especially when we can not fully explain our own being.
: How hypocritical they call one person a saint 300 years after they die? What glorification or status does a dead person have?
: Who is the pope anyone to call one generous person a saint and the other a heritic?
: The pope is not the authority in Christ, only Christ is the authority.
: The Vatican was not set up by the Bible, nor any of the 12 diciples. The Vatican was set up by man and government as a means to control people and have people worship men, and images.
: Romans 1:21-25 explain the position of the Vatican and saint worshiping quite well:
: 21: For although the knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but thier thinking became futile and thier foolish hearts darkened.
: 22: Although they clamed to be wise, they became fools.
: 23: and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man (saints) and birds and animals and reptiles.
: 24: Therefore God gave them over to their sinful desires of thier hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of thier bodies with one another.
: 25: They exhanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen.
: Catholics worship doctorines and saints - dead people.
: What do they do to repent in sin? They pay pentance to Mary, rather than Christ.
: They pray to dead people, rather then the One that is forever Alive.
: They cast images and worship them. They acknowledge God, but who do they pray to at night? Thier saint!
: What do people do when they go to confession? They go to a booth thinking the priest or whoever is on the other side believeing that his words are those of God.
:
: Now after all this am I opposed to Catholisism? Not really, but I am opposed to the way they revrend what is left of the same Empire that tried unsuccesfully to take over the world.
: They learned that they can't take the land, but they can take the people.
: I think there are a lot of very devoted and cherished children of God in the Catholic church...and I am spell bound at their faith. I respect it much, however I belive that thier focus should not be on saints and martyrs - but on what they belived in and what they died for. The saints and martyrs followed Christ.
: For what atrocity is the Vatican teaching for man to worship man, but for man to worhsip himself rather than God Almighty?!
: Even Christ Himself prayed not to Moses or Noah or the prophets and 'saints' of the past, but God Himself and the Creator alone.
: Moses was with Christ at the Mount of Olives, but Moses was worshiping God along side of Jesus.
: That is the major reason I oppose the Vatican nation and claim no loyalty to that country, but rather declare myself an orphan of this world - a reject and self-exiled wretch. God has picked me up and claimed me as one of His own and such the Kingdom of God lives inside of my heart as it does in all the hearts of men.
: I am a citizen of Heaven, and not of this world. That is my Home that I long for. That is my sickness in this world.
: God bless and peace,

:Chris, homosexuality DID NOT cause the fall of sodom & Gomorrah! It was cruelty & rape. If a man rapes a man or a woman, it is a nonconsensual act!
