How generous of Gibson - a Catholic - to make a movie about a Seventh Day Adventist when SDA is viciously anti-Catholic. Gibson looked past their hatred and bigotry to see a decent man. I wish they could return the favor more often.
It’s not that simple. The SDA church is not anti-Catholic, per se. If their understanding of Biblical prophecy is correct, the Catholic church will be one of the end time forces that persecutes God’s people, who is anybody that is faithful to God regardless of their understanding of Scripture. When you consider Pope Francis’ statements, since becoming the Pope, can you really say that this understanding is incorrect and will not come to pass?
My personal view has changed a bit. If recent events are any indicator, the reason why both the US and the Catholic church become the persecutors of God’s people, rather than being the protector and defenders is because both have become infiltrated and controlled by Islam.
