The RCC counts on people just accepting what it says without looking into the the situation for themselves. When someone does investigate the outlandish PR, they learn that reality is very different from RC fiction. People need to ask themselves why a church would feel compelled to lie and present so many untruths about other people and other faiths? Obviously, if the truth were in Rome, Rome would be satisfied with the truth. Some of us are old enough to remember hearing gossip that "Mick Jagger has converted, and is waiting for the current Rolling Stones tour to end before announcing his new found faith". In that vein, here's a little Sunday night levity for the masses (pun intended):
George W. Bush, convert to Catholicism:
A Catholic Wind in the White House
Bush in holy gaffe (no news making news)
Mikhael Gorbachev, convert to Catholicism:
Mikhail Gorbachev admits he is a Christian
I'm not a Catholic, says Gorbachev

"Some of us are old enough to remember hearing gossip that "Mick Jagger has converted..." How ironic that among the first famous converts to Catholicism was St. Paul.

It's about intimidating other religions by sheer force of numbers. (real or imagined), in an effort to bring about this great unity of the faith, with the largest, most powerful one being the deciding factor in the the tenents of this new ecumenism. And all who buy into it will be receiving the Eucharist, praying to Mary, learning about purgatory, and lighting candles for the saints to protect and unify us into one big happy family of God. THe BIG ONE will change nothing, the rest will change EVERYTHING. For Unity.
And that's when the true believers will be meeting at each other's houses, reading scripture and learning God's Word rightly divided. We will never be missed. THe Rapture will occur and the BIg Unity Church will continue on, unfazed. Hardly remembering those few who tried to tell them before it was too late.

When did the Romanists take on the Mormon practice of baptizing the dead?
Did I miss the Encyclical?
