If the Pope cannot see that God uses human armies to vanquish evil, something which is depicted time and time again in the Bible... if he simply cannot comprehend that it is the hand of God that is directing our war against the satanic regime in Iraq, because God has decided Saddam's time is at an end... then he is a hopeless case.

Excellent. Can't imagine it being said better. The Catholic Church, at least outside of America, is behaving more and more like the EuroPEON institution it has become. If you think it's bad now, wait until it has to get along with the growing Islamic population soon to be surrounding it....very sad.

It's clear to me that MOST people who like to claim "I'm a Christian" don't know that the tares and wheat are being separated. They also WANT to be deceived.

Matthew 10:34-35

[34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

[35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Luke 12:51-56

[51] Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

[52] For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

[53] The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

[54] And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

[55] And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

[56] Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

This passage personifies your critics:

Matthew 7:13-20

[13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Indeed but the problem is that when people don't read God's Word, the Bible they won't know who the wolves are. False doctrine sounds good especially when it appears to our human nature.

[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Yes, I believe the fruits of this "faith" are obvious. There will also NOT be peace on earth till the Prince of Peace returns. They wouldn't know this because they don't bother to read the Bible. Their faith is with another fallen sinner.
