Loving Catholics and Exposing Catholicism
Was Peter The “First Pope”?
“And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” — Rev. 1:17-18
The Lord Jesus, knowing that John was terrified, lovingly laid His right hand upon John, saying “fear not.” Notice that God’s Word is specific – even to which hand Jesus used. Jesus is saying, ‘John, my dear friend, there is nothing to fear: it is I, Jesus, your Lord and your friend!’ “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” – Heb. 4:15

What is the Gospel?
Every person needs to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and why this is good news for the one who trusts and leans on Him for eternal life. Learn the clear truth of God’s perfection and holiness, humankind’s utter sinfulness, why only Christ’s perfect merits through His atonement can save us from God’s wrath and reconcile us with God, and why our good works cannot justify us before the all-holy God. This message is vital for everyone, particularly for the nominal or religious Catholic or Eastern Orthodox believer.
Are Catholics Christians?
Many people point to documents such as Evangelicals and Catholics Together as examples of why we ought not to share the Gospel of Christ with Roman Catholics. They claim that we share the same truths and worship the same Lord. Find out why this is a blatant lie. See how Rome uses cunning and trickery to coopt evangelicals into selling out the Gospel for the sake of false “unity”.

Catholic Scandals
In early 2002, The Boston Globe published results of an investigation that led to the criminal prosecutions of five Roman Catholic priests and thrust the sexual abuse of minors by Catholic clergy into the national spotlight. This was the tip of the iceberg as the Roman Catholic Church has been infested with pedophiles since its inception.

Former Lay Catholics
Across the globe and throughout the ages, men and women have given testimony to the life changing power of being in a biblical relationship with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A testimony is one of the most effective ways to confirm and event and is one of the primary reasons that courts of law relay upon the testimony of witnesses in order to establish the truth.

The Catholic Mary
What God’s Word Teaches about Mary
The veneration, or de-facto worship, of the manufactured Mary of Rome in Catholicism is a central feature of that religion. Rome would have you believe that you have no direct access to Christ apart from the Mediatrix Mary. See why God’s Word completely refutes the absurd claims of Catholicism. Learn about the true Mary portrayed in the Bible – a godly young woman and a sinner in need of God’s grace through Christ alone, just like any of us.
Catholic Sacraments
One key distinction of the Roman Catholic Church (and Eastern Orthodox Churches) is its teaching on the mandatory intake of its seven sacraments. What is their origin? Are sacraments truly the only manifestation of God’s grace to believers, according to Roman Catholic doctrine? Or are they simply a way to enslave people to the tyranny of Rome? What did Christ and the apostles actually teach on this issue?
Idolatry
One of the major themes of the Bible is God’s admonition not to substitute false idols for the true and living God. Not only does idolatry include erecting fake, physical or mental idols, but it also includes false teachings about the true God. How do we stay loyal to the true God and who He truly is? How can we preserve ourselves by His power from the false notions implanted by Rome even into evangelical mindsets? Material on this page will expose Rome’s various ruses to compromise Bible believers and hold Catholics hostage to false gods.
The Office of the Priest
Roman Catholicism exalts a special class of men called priests. Contradicting Holy Scripture, Rome boasts that her priests command special powers over the souls of human beings. From where does Rome derive its teachings? Do priests actually possess such special powers to absolve people of sin and dispense of God’s grace through various sacraments? What does God say about priests in the New Covenant of Jesus Christ?
The Pope and the Papacy
None, but the Lord God, could have described beforehand office of the Pope and Papacy. Man could never have anticipated the Papacy only God foretells it. That a power claiming to act for God, to be “as God,” in the midst of the Christian Church, flouting His truth and mocking His own Holiness, defies imagination.
Church History
When you hear the term “Church History”, many thoughts come to mind. One of those thoughts might be the widely held assumption that the Roman Catholic Church is the original church established by the Lord Jesus. However, a proper study reveals a much more complex issue. The beginning for the early Christian church is found in the greatest resource know to mankind, the Holy Scriptures. In them you will find what a true Christian Church looks like and how it should behave. Since those early beginnings, the succeeding pages of church history have been well documented. Close examination reveals a group of people who put into practice the truths found in the Scripture and of another group that practiced a different system of belief and sadly, those pages are written in blood.
The Jesuit Order
The Society of Jesus [S.J.] (AKA the Jesuit Order and “the Company” – was founded circa 1534 by a Spanish Basque Roman Catholic soldier named Ignatius de Loyola [Ignacio de Loyola] (1491-1556) and several other individuals. The Jesuit Order was OFFICIALLY recognized as a Roman Catholic religious-military order in 1540 by Pope Paul III. In 1541 Ignatius of Loyola became the first Jesuit Superior General (i.e., the first “Black Pope”, which is an “Italian nickname” for the Jesuit Superior General), a title-office that he held until his death in 1556.

The Antichrist
For nearly 400 years, Protestant pulpits shared a near unanimous view about the identity of the Antichrist. The Protestant Reformers did not agree on everything; however, there was one thing they ALL agreed about, i.e., that the office of the Papacy – the long line of popes – was the Antichrist.

The Vatican Global Agenda

Bible Believers/Evangelicals
Why is the professing evangelical church in the West so impotent? Learn how the dilution of the preaching of Christ’s true Gospel in many so-called evangelical churches is directly related to the rise of movements promoted by Rome! The charismatic, emerging church, and “Purpose Driven” movements are three examples that have weakened professing Christianity and made many blind to the true danger of false gospels, particularly that of Roman Catholicism! Learn about the tragedy of agreements such as ECT and how true Bible believers should stand in the midst of an age of falling away.
Evangelism
Do you need to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with your Roman Catholic and Orthodox neighbors and loved ones? If so, why? What are some practical things to consider? Richard Bennett shares many tips based on his extensive experience and love for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with all kinds of people, including Catholics and Orthodox.
The Ecumenical Movement
The ecumenical movement is the brain child of the Roman Catholic Church. This moment gained momentum during the Second Vatican Council held in Rome from 1962 to 1965. The primary purpose of the ecumenical movement is to draw individuals, groups and churches back into the Roman Catholic religious system. The eventual goal is to enslave all people under the Roman pontiff as head of the “Universal Church”. The movement employs various techniques that range from joint declarations of faith to stadium events filled with people from various denominations. All are encouraged to be united through emotional experiences instead of Biblical truth.
The scripture clearly warns the bible believing Christian in 2 Corinthians chapter 6. 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Mysticism/Emergent Church
One major strategy of the Jesuits is mysticism, the false claim of union with God apart from the means He has ordained in His Word. Indeed, mysticism might even damage people’s souls and connect them to dark spiritual powers. The emergent church movement has infiltrated evangelicals today with this dark teaching. Find out why Christ condemns such wicked doctrine of demons.
Eastern Orthodoxy
In many ways, Eastern Orthodoxy ends up in the same place as Roman Catholicism: a false gospel based on human works that ultimately deny our need for the once and complete atonement of Jesus Christ for our sins on the cross. Yet, Eastern Orthodoxy differs from Roman Catholicism (and true Biblical Christianity) in other areas. Find out why Eastern Orthodox people need the true Gospel of Christ, and why you should reject its claims of being the “true and original church” of the New Testament.
Islam
Recently, Roman Popes have actively engaged senior members of the Islamic clergy in various settings. Rome has even included Islam under its list of “Godfearing” religions in its official “Nostra aetate” from the Second Vatican Council. What is going on? Should we expect peace in our time? Or is this another scheme of Antichrist to promote his global ambitions?
