The New Church

New? Church! The Catholic Church is 2,000 years old ... hardly qualifies as new.

The New Church suppresses and subverts the faith.

It is evident that you have not read through the entire dialogue posted at the link, provided by Theosis. Consider this ....

" have you ever considered that John Paul is using his papal office to speak influentially to people of other religions? He does so by forging alliances with the leaders of these religions in order to consolidate and protect the Christians from extreme elements within these religions. This is how geo-politics works. We have no way of knowing the imminent dangers and threats which exist in these religions. Islam and Hinduism are hotbeds of extremism right now, and the Pope knows better than anyone else that this sucker might blow us all to smitherenes. And this is not just hot air, Robert. Just this week I heard a very high prominent Muslim cleric telling Muslims to cool their jets against the Christians and guess who he cited for his comments? Drum roll please...John Paul II. "

"forging alliances", "geo-politics" - the world is in turmoil and this pope, despite his age, is working to forge alliances in order to prevent the self-destruction of humanity.

I notice he wasn't too much interested when Saddam slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people. He still pretty forcefully opposed that monster's toppling by the U.S. We just dug up another mass grave of 200 corpses--all of them children from Kirkuk. How does this fit in with JPII's "geo-political" strategy? Was Saddam supposed to go on murdering hundreds of thousands more? Where does this fit in with fundamental Christian morality? Give me a break.
