seven charges against the Catholic Church, claiming it’s the Antichrist for changing God’s laws, claiming infallibility, and more. Let’s demolish each one:

1. Changing God’s Times and Laws: You link this to Daniel 7:25, claiming Catholics changed the Sabbath to Sunday. No verse names the papacy or ties Sunday to this prophecy. The Little Horn refers to Antiochus IV (Daniel 8, 1 Maccabees 1:41-49) or Nero, not the Church. Sunday worship, rooted in apostolic practice (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2), honors Christ’s resurrection (CCC 2174-2176), fulfilling the Sabbath (Colossians 2:16-17). The Church’s authority (Matthew 16:18-19) guided this, not a pagan plot

2. Claiming Infallibility: The Church claims infallibility in defining faith and morals under the Holy Spirit’s guidance (Matthew 16:18-19, CCC 889-892), not human arrogance. This preserves the Gospel, as seen in the Nicene Creed. Adventism’s reliance on White’s fallible visions (The Great Controversy, p. 421-422) lacks such divine promise.

3. Homosexual Priesthood: Your recycled claim of a “homosexual priesthood” stems from Frédéric Martel’s baseless 80% figure (In the Closet of the Vatican, 2019), debunked as anecdotal gossip (Guardian, 2019; CNN, 2019). The Vatican’s 2005 Instruction bans men with “deep-seated homosexual tendencies” from seminaries, requiring celibacy (CCC 1579). The 2025 Italian guidelines allow chaste gay candidates, vetted holistically (Reuters, 2025). No evidence supports your “recruitment” lie.

4. Militant Jesuit Liars: Your “Jesuit liars” smear is Adventist conspiracism, not history. Jesuits, like all Catholics, defend the faith (2 Timothy 4:2). White’s anti-Catholic rants (The Great Controversy, p. 50) fuel your hatred, not truth. Show me a Jesuit oath to lie—you can’t, because it’s a myth.

5. Claiming Equality with Christ: The Church never claims equality with Christ—it’s His bride (Ephesians 5:25-27), proclaiming His Gospel (1 Timothy 3:15). White’s claim to divine inspiration (SDA Belief #18) borders on equating herself with Scripture, a far graver offense (Revelation 22:18-19).

6. Forgiving Sins: The Church administers Christ’s forgiveness through the sacrament of reconciliation (John 20:22-23, CCC 1441-1442), not its own power. Christ delegates this authority, not the Church’s whim. Adventism’s Investigative Judgment, judging believers’ works (The Great Controversy, p. 421-422), usurps Christ’s role (Hebrews 9:12).

7. Killing Millions: Your claim of “150-300 million” deaths is a grotesque exaggeration, rooted in 19th-century anti-Catholic propaganda like John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Historical estimates of Inquisition deaths range from 3,000-50,000 over centuries (Catholic Answers, 2024). The Crusades and other conflicts had complex causes, not papal bloodlust. Adventism’s slander ignores its own divisive history (Answering Adventism, 2023).

Your accusations are lies, Phil, fueled by White’s anti-Catholic venom, not Scripture or history.

You cite Revelation 22:14-15—“Blessed are they that do his commandments… for without are… whosoever loveth and maketh a lie”—to condemn Catholics as liars outside heaven. This boomerangs on Adventism:

Revelation 22:14’s “commandments” refers to Christ’s law of love (John 13:34, Romans 13:8-10), not the Ten Commandments alone. The New Testament never mandates Saturday worship (Colossians 2:16-17, Romans 14:5-6). Catholics obey God’s moral law (CCC 2055), fulfilled in Christ (Matthew 22:37-40).

Revelation 22:15’s “liars” fits Ellen G. White, whose failed prophecies (1856, 1844, 1845; Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 131-132; A Word to the Little Flock, p. 14) mark her as a false prophetess (Deuteronomy 18:22). Her Investigative Judgment heresy (The Great Controversy, p. 421-422) lies about Christ’s atonement (Hebrews 9:12). You’re following a liar in the Adventist cult, Phil, Catholics aren’t

Phil, your “Jesuit liars” and “Antichrist church” rants stem from Seventh-day Adventism’s demonic core, built on White’s lies:

False Prophecies: White’s 1856, 1844, and 1845 failures (Deuteronomy 18:22) deceive millions, including you.

Investigative Judgment Heresy: Her 1844 doctrine denies Christ’s finished work (Hebrews 9:12), a satanic assault on the Gospel.

Sabbath Idolatry: Her salvific Sabbath, with a Sunday law as the mark of the beast (The Great Controversy, p. 605-612), lacks New Testament support (Colossians 2:16-17). It’s Judaizing heresy (Galatians 5:4).

Adventism is a satanic cult, chaining you to White’s lies and a works-based gospel.
