You have it all wrong,it's the Catholic Church that is hated by those who want to rule the world. It's been that way since the Church was started and it is still the same today.
It will be members of the Catholic Church who will be persecuted just like they are in China and Muslim nations.
You are verbally aiding in this persecution by writing the things you wrote,it does not come from the Holy Spirit at all.
Follow what your church teaches. Put your faith in Christ.
No. YOU are wrong. The Catholic church has been the persecutor throughout history. Ask the Jews. Ask the Anabaptists. Ask the Waldenses. Ask anyone prior to the 1600s that wasn’t a Catholic.
That said, even John Paul II was concerned about the apostates in his midst. The institution as a whole is not warm towards Benedict XVI. Evil will overtake the Roman institution. Mark my words. True Christians will be persecuted be the Catholic, Protestant or other. Pretending like the administrative capabilities of a church are impregnable is very short sited. Rome will fall. True Christianity will not.
stfassisi,
Before you get emotional about my last post, stop for a second and do this.
Get to your Catholic Bible and look up what it says about false prophets. Particularly read Matthew 7:15, Matt 24:11; Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; 2 Peter 2:1; 1 John 4:1.
There are going to be false prophets to arise all over the place and WILL deceive many. Don’t think the hierarchy will survive. It will not. Many true Christians will be beheaded for their testimony. But they will graduate to a higher life. And the antichrist to come will take advantage of the tools left for him to rule with his false prophet, but only for a time.
WRONG.
Holy Spirit constrains us to speak truth to RC and Protty alike.
NO ONE AND NO ORGANIZATION in any kind of observable public and even private life will be able to escape the AC’s control
unless they are supernaturally hidden by God and God alone.
It’s Christianity that’s hated, not just Catholicism.
