Are Roman Catholics Christian? [0071]

(c) 1985 by Jack T. Chick, printed in U.S.A.

IS THERE A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC "CHURCH" IS REALLY NOT CHRISTIAN?
THINK OF THE HORRIFYING CONSEQUENCES!

IF IT IS NOT...THEN TODAY, ALMOST A BILLION PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DECEIVED.
IF IT IS NOT...THE THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT IS NOT OF GOD.
IF IT IS NOT...THEN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT IS NOT OF GOD.
IF IT IS NOT...THEN ROMAN CATHOLICS ARE HEADING FOR A SPIRITUAL DISASTER.

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO CHECK IT OUT.  IT IS WITH THE HOLY, INSPIRED WORD OF GOD...(THE BIBLE).

LET'S STUDY HELEN'S LIFE AS A DEVOUT ROMAN CATHOLIC...

HELEN CANNOT BE EXPOSED TO "JESUS" (THE BLESSED SACRAMENT, THE WAFER GOD) BECAUSE SHE IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF EVIL SPIRITS.  THE PRIEST EXORCISES THE DEMONS BY ANOINTING HELEN WITH OIL AND PUTTING SALT IN HER MOUTH TO PRESERVE HER FROM FUTURE INFLUENCE OF EVIL SPIRITS.

THEN SHE IS BAPTIZED WITH WATER.  AT THIS POINT, SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CLEANSED OF ORIGINAL SIN, MADE A CHILD OF GOD AND AN HEIR OF HEAVEN, PROVIDED SHE DIES IN GRACE.

SHE IS "BORN AGAIN", AND AT THAT MOMENT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTITUTION, AND IS SUBJECT TO ITS LAWS.

THE BIBLE SAYS:  BAPTISM IS UNDERGONE BY BELIEVERS* IN CHRIST TO SHOW THEIR IDENTIFICATION WITH HIM IN HIS DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION. (ROM. 6:3-10, ACTS 8:35-38)

*NOTE:  FIRST THEY BELIEVED, THEN THEY WERE BAPTIZED.

JESUS SAID: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God." (MARK 10:14)

Mark 10:14
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

[Constitution (versus) Canon Law & Dogma]

THE VATICAN IS A GOVERNMENT WITH ITS OWN MONEY, SECRETARY OF STATE AND AMBASSADORS, AND IS A RECOGNIZED NATION, JUST LIKE GERMANY, FRANCE, ETC.  IF HELEN IS A GOOD CATHOLIC, HER FIRST LOYALTY WILL BE TO THE VATICAN.

NOTE:  THE POPE HAS TWO POWERS -- HE'S THE CHIEF OF A POLITICAL STATE AND A RELIGIOUS LEADER.

BY THIS SACRAMENT, SINS COMMITED AFTER BAPTISM ARE FORGIVEN THROUGH ABSOLUTION BY THE PRIEST.

TO RECEIVE THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE WORTHILY, A PERSON MUST EXAMINE HIS CONSCIENCE, BE SORRY FOR HIS SINS, PURPOSE FIRMLY NOT TO SIN AGAIN, CONFESS HIS SINS TO THE PRIEST, AND PERFORM THE PENANCE THE PRIEST GIVES HIM.

IN FUTURE CONFESSIONS, HELEN MUST TELL EVERY SIN SHE COMMITTED SINCE HER LAST CONFESSION.

ROMAN CATHOLICISM REPLACES REPENTANCE WITH THE SACRIFICE OF PENANCE.

LITTLE HELEN IS GROWING UP, AND IT IS TIME FOR HER TO GO TO CONFESSION.

(Priest, to Helen in confessional): MY CHILD, YOU MUST SAY FIVE HAIL MARYS!

WHO DOES THE BIBLE INSTRUCT BELIEVERS TO GO TO WHEN THEY SIN?

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.  And if any man sin, we have an advocate (someone who pleads your case) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and He is the propitiation (which means God was satisfied with Christ's perfect sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world." (I John 2:1-2)

WHERE DID THE IDEA OF THE CONFESSIONAL ORIGINATE?  DID IT COME FROM THE VATICAN?  No!  IT ORIGINATED WAY BACK IN ANCIENT BABYLON WHERE THEY WORSHIPPED THE SUN GOD "Baal".  IT WAS PART OF AN OCCULT RELIGIOUS SYSTEM.

(Penitent, to Priest of Babylon): FORGIVE ME, FOR I HAVE SINNED!

AFTER THE GREAT FLOOD, NOAH'S OFFSPRING BUILT THE CITY OF BABYLON.  IT BECAME THE RELIGIOUS CENTER OF THE WORLD.  HERE, THE CONFESSIONAL FIRST WAS USED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND TO CONTROL AND BLACKMAIL.

THE CONFESSIONAL IS NOT FOUND IN THE WORD OF GOD (THE BIBLE), IT WAS ONE OF MAN'S INVENTIONS.

(See Page 15 of Angel of Light and also The Priest, The Woman, And The Confessional, Published by Chick Publications.)

DID YOU EVER WONDER ABOUT THE PRIESTS AND WHERE THEY COME FROM?
THE TERM, "PRIEST", WAS TAKEN FROM THE JEWISH RELIGION ALONG WITH THE ALTAR, INCENSE, ETC. (HEBREWS 8:4)
THE BIBLE CAREFULLY INSTRUCTS US HOW TO RUN A CHURCH.
IT TALKS ABOUT PASTORS, DEACONS, ETC... BUT NEVER A PRIEST.

WHAT ABOUT NUNS?
WHAT ABOUT MONKS?
POPES?

THE BIBLE NEVER MENTIONS NUNS, MONKS OR POPES.  THIS SYSTEM WAS CREATED BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTITUTION TO IMPRESS THEIR FOLLOWERS, ALONG WITH THE STATUES, CANDLES AND RELIGIOUS COSTUMES.  THE PEOPLE LOVE IT.  ONLY THEIR LEADERS REALLY UNDERSTAND THE RELIGIOUS PHRASEOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY USED TO CONTROL THEIR NEARLY ONE BILLION MEMBERS.

IN ANCIENT BABYLON, THEY WORSHIPPED THE SUN GOD, "BAAL".  THEN THIS RELIGION MOVED INTO EGYPT USING DIFFERENT NAMES.

[Obelisk, Sunworshipper, Priest holding Ankh]

ON THE ALTARS OF EGYPT WERE FOUND SUN-SHAPED WAFERS MADE OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.

[Sunburst on Wall, Ankh, PX, Table of Circular Breadbuns, Priest and Sunworshippers]

THESE LITTLE WAFERS WERE CONSECRATED BY THE EGYPTIAN PRIESTS AND MAGICALLY BECAME THE FLESH OF THE SUN GOD, OSIRIS*.  THIS MIRACLE IS CALLED "TRANSUBSTANTIATION".  THEN THEY ATE THEIR GOD...(A TYPE OF EUCHARIST).  *SEE PAGE 15 OF ANGEL OF LIGHT

LET'S WATCH HELEN TAKE HER FIRST HOLY COMMUNION.
SEE IF IT'S TRULY CHRISTIAN, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE.

HELEN BELIEVES SHE IS ABOUT TO RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST IN THE
SACRAMENT OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST.

THIS IS THE HOST, OR WAFER, THAT WILL AFTER IT IS BLESSED, BECOME THE "HOLY EUCHARIST".  IT IS DISK-SHAPED (LIKE THE SUN).

[White Round Circular Wafer embossed: IHS with a Cross down the center.]

ROMAN CATHOLICS BELIEVE THAT IT ACTUALLY BECOMES THE BLOOD, BODY, AND DIVINITY OF CHRIST, AND IT MUST BE WORSHIPPED AS GOD.

IN THE "OFFERTORY", THE PRIEST OFFERS THE WAFER AND WINE.

[Priest robed with PX on back, holding plate with round circular wafer.]

THEN COMES "THE PREFACE", A PRAYER OF PRAISE...

FOLLOWED BY THE "SANCTUS", A PRAYER OF JOY, A CRY OF WELCOME FOR THE LORD WHO WILL ENTER THE WAFER.

THEN COMES THE CONSECRATION

[Priest holding wafer up towards the crucifix mounted above the altar.]

THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE MASS.  THIS IS WHEN THE WAFER BECOMES GOD.

THE WINE IS ALSO CONSECRATED, SUPPOSEDLY BECOMING THE ACTUAL BLOOD OF JESUS.

[White Round Circular Wafer embossed: IHS with a Cross down the center.]

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS BELIEVE THE PRIEST IS SO POWERFUL, HE CAN PULL CHRIST OUT OF HEAVEN*, PUT HIM ON THE CROSS, AND SACRIFICE HIM AGAIN DURING THE MASS.**

IN EGYPT, THE "IHS" STOOD FOR THEIR GODS... ISIS, HORUS, AND SEB.***

*SEE COUNCIL OF TRENT STATEMENT, PAGE 11
**HEBREWS 7:27 (WRITTEN TO BELIEVERS)
***THE TWO BABYLONS BY HISLOP PG. 164

I.H.S.

Iesus Hominum Salvator = Jesus the Saviour of Men

Isis, Horus, Seb = The Mother, the Child, and the Father of the gods

The Egyptian Trinity

Roman worshippers of Isis

The very same spirit that converted the festival of the Pagan Oannes into the feast of the Christian Joannes, retaining at the same time all its ancient Paganism, has skilfully planned the initials I.H.S. to pay the semblence of a tribute to Christianity, while Paganism in reality has all the substance of the homage bestowed upon it.

Collyridians =  heretics called by the Greek name for the cake which they employed.

...the practice of offering and eating this "unbloody sacrifice" was patronised by the Papacy; and now, throughout the whole bounds of the Romish communion, it has superseded the simple but most precious sacrament of the Supper instituted by our Lord Himself.

ROMAN CATHOLICS MUST BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP THE LITTLE WAFER AS GOD...OR ELSE!

WHO DREAMED THIS UP?  THE BOYS IN EGYPT CALLED IT "OSIRIS" LONG BEFORE THE POPES CALLED IT "JESUS".

DOESN'T THIS INFORMATION UPSET YOU?
IT SHOULD, BELOVED!

THIS LAW WAS DEATH TO BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS.

Canon 1.  If anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist are contained truly, really and substantially the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ, but says that He is in it only as in a sign, or figure or force, let him be anathema.* (Damned as a Heretic.)

STILL IN EFFECT TODAY?  YES!  ALL THE POPES DURING THE VATICAN II COUNCIL AND SINCE, HAVE ACCEPTED THE RATIFICATION OF THE ENTIRE COUNCIL ON THIS DECREE.**

*COUNCIL OF TRENT, SESSION 13, CHAPTER VII.
**HEBREWS 9:27-28; 10:11, 12, 15.

(Inquisitor holding up a wafer, asking a Christian tied to unlit bonfire stake):  IS THIS THE ACTUAL BLOOD AND BODY OF JESUS CHRIST?

(Christian's response to Inquisitor):  NO!  IT IS SYMBOLIC!

(Inquisitor's judgement on Christian, to executioner Monk holding a cross):  BURN THIS HERETIC, TOO!

ALL THIS HISTORY HAS BEEN COVERED UP.

(Christian's prayer to the Lord while burning at stake over the smoking bonfire):  I'M COMING HOME, LORD.

MULTITUDES DIED ON RACKS AND WERE TORTURED IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE BECAUSE THEY DEFIED THE COUNCIL OF TRENT.  IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN!

THIS TOTALLY VIOLATES SCRIPTURE.  "Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord." (Heb. 10:30) AND THE LORD JESUS IS VERY ANGRY WITH THE VATICAN.

Heb 10:30
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

SHE CAN NOW TELL EVERY BODY SHE HAS "RECEIVED JESUS HER SAVIOR".

PROTESTANTS BELIEVE THE LORD'S SUPPER IS SYMBOLIC.

[Priest's hand holding cup of wafers and other hand passing a wafer to the mouth of a kneeling Roman Catholic (Helen) at communion with a catch-plate on the end of a rod held hovering below her chin; this is rod is held by the communion paten.  Caption, below, pointing to this catch-plated rod.]

NOTE:  IF GOD SHOULD DROP BY ACCIDENT, THE COMMUNION PATEN WILL CATCH HIM.

THE BIBLE SAYS:  "And when He had given thanks, he brake it, and said, take, eat:  this is my body, which is broken for you:  this do in remembrance of me.  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament of my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.  For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." (1 Cor. 11:24-26, 1 Cor. 10:16, 17, 21)

1 Cor 10:21
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

[Man standing by the burning altar; while others standing off to the side appear indifferent.]

THEN AFTER AWHILE, IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM.

[Christ dying on the cross under a darkened sky with lightning.]

WHEN THE LORD JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS, HE CRIED, "IT IS FINISHED" AT THAT INSTANT, THE VEIL IN THE JEWISH TEMPLE, COVERING THE HOLY OF HOLIES, WAS RIPPED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, AND GOD DID AWAY WITH THE DAILY ANIMAL SACRIFICES AND THE JEWISH FAITH.

CHRIST'S SACRIFICE WAS PERFECT...ONCE FOR ALL TIME, NEVER TO BE REPEATED.*

*HEB. 9:12, also 10:12 & 14

Hebr 10:14
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

[Priest doing mass ritual with covered cup on table of altar in church.]

SATAN WANTS TO SHOW JESUS AS A CONTINUOUS "DYING" SAVIOR, OR A DEAD CHRIST.

CHRIST'S FINISHED SACRIFICE WAS SUFFICIENT, BY PARTICIPATING IN THE MASS, THE ROMAN CATHOLICS ARE CALLING HIM A LIAR!  IT IS AN ABOMINATION IN THE EYES OF GOD.

WHAT DOES JESUS THINK OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTITUTION?  HE CALLS HER THE GREAT WHORE, AND HE ORDERS ROMAN CATHOLICS OUT OF HER.

"COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS AND OF HER PLAGUES." (REV. 18:4)

[Bishop with one hand held on top of a Roman Catholic's head (little Helen while kneeling) and other hand palmed on her cheek, gazing down at her. Three lit candles behind the bishop.  Icon of Mother and Child in background of the confirmed.]

(Bishop, saying to Helen while slapping her cheek):  PEACE BE WITH YOU!

AT THIS POINT, HELEN IS "FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT"...JUST LIKE SHE WAS "BORN AGAIN" WHEN SHE WAS BAPTIZED.

SHE NOW BECOMES A CITIZEN OF THE "CHURCH", ABLE TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITIES OF THAT CITIZENSHIP AND TO DEFEND HER FAITH AGAINST HER ENEMIES.  HISTORICALLY, AND EVEN TODAY IN SOUTH AMERICA, NORTHERN IRELAND, THE U.S. AND CANADA, DEVOUT ROMAN CATHOLICS, IN SERVING A ROMAN CATHOLIC "MILITANT CHURCH", ARE READY TO LIVE, DIE AND EVEN KILL IF NECESSARY, FOR THEIR "CHURCH", WHEN UNDER OATH, BY INCITING MOB ACTION ON AN ENEMY.

IS ROME A MILITANT "CHURCH"? -- VERY MUCH SO!

*A PRACTICAL CATHOLIC DICTIONARY, PUBLISHED BY HANOVER HOUSE, PP. 67, 68 COPYRIGHTED 1957, UNDER THE NIHIL OBSTAT AND IMPRIMATUR OF THE INSTITUTION.

HELEN IS VERY RELIGIOUS IN A WORLDLY SENSE.  SHE CAN NOW TELL THE PROTESTANTS THAT SHE IS A CHRISTIAN, SHE HAS BEEN "BORN AGAIN", AND HAS "RECEIVED JESUS" AS HER SAVIOR.

SINCE THE VATICAN II COUNCIL, HELEN CAN NO LONGER CALL THE PROTESTANTS HERETICS, BUT SEPARATED BRETHREN.

SHE KNOWS SHE IS NOT SAVED, NOT ACCORDING TO ROMAN CATHOLIC TEACHINGS, SHE HAS NO ASSURANCE OF SALVATION, EVEN THROUGH THE SIX SACRAMENTS.

ACCORDING TO THE COUNCIL OF TRENT (STILL IN EFFECT), ANYONE WHO SAYS THEY HAVE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION IS ANATHEMA. (DAMNED AS A HERETIC)  Council of Trent, Session VI

POOR HELEN IS COMPLETELY BRAINWASHED.  SHE BELIEVES HER SYSTEM IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN AND THE POPE IS THE HIGHEST, PUREST FORM OF GODLINESS ON THIS PLANET.  THE ROMAN POPE CLAIMS HE IS INFALLIBLE AND SPEAKS FOR GOD.  (See Understanding Roman Catholicism, Published by Chick Publications.)

Rom 4:5
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

NOW, ISN'T THAT JUST A LITTLE PRESUMPTUOUS?

Remember...the popes are supposed to be infallible.*  Look at what they've said:

[A triple-tiara crowned pope sitting on throne with crucifix-on-rodded staff in hand.]

Pope Innocent III:  "He (the pope) judges all and is judged by no one."
Pope Boniface VIII:  "We declare, assert, define and pronounce:  To be subject to the Roman pontiff is to every human creature altogether necessary for salvation."
Pope Leo XIII:  "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty."

LET'S SEE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT A MAN WHO CALLS HIMSELF GOD:

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." (II Thessalonians 2:3-4)

*When speaking on matters regarding faith or morals.  DOGMATIC CANONS AND DECREES, pg. 256, published by Tan Books, Rockford, IL.

[Bride and Groom kneeling before a priest at the church altar in a wedding.]

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS, HELEN WILL MISS BECAUSE IT APPLIES ONLY TO MEN WHO CARRY OUT THE SACRED DUTIES SUCH AS BISHOPS, PRIESTS, AND OTHER MINISTERS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTITUTION.

AT THE POINT OF DEATH, HELEN RECEIVES "THE SACRAMENT OF THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK".  (FORMERLY CALLED "EXTREME UNCTION".)

[Sick or dying Roman Catholic (Helen) lying in hospital bed with a tube up her nose.  A priest by her side with hand hovering over her head.]

HELEN HAS RECEIVED 6 OUT OF THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS -- AND HELEN DIES.  SHE TRUSTED HER "CHURCH", HER PRIESTS, WAS A FAITHFUL ROMAN CATHOLIC, AND WITH ALL ITS GREAT POWER BACKING HELEN, WHERE DOES SHE GO?

TO PURGATORY, OF COURSE!

POOR HELEN...WHAT A DISMAL FUTURE.  THE SACRAMENTS DIDN'T HELP HER.  SHE WAS BETRAYED.

IF SHE HAD BELIEVED THE BIBLE, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED BECAUSE GRACE ONLY COMES THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST, NOT IN SACRAMENTS. (EPH. 2:8-10)

[Naked people groping in pain in a dark place with a bright flame scorching them.]

BASED ON II MACCABEES 12:43-46 (FOUND IN CATHOLIC AND OTHER PERVERTED BIBLE TRANSLATIONS), JUDE 3, MATT. 12:36

WHEN WILL HELEN GET OUT OF PURGATORY?... NO ONE KNOWS.  POPES HAVE BEEN IN PURGATORY FOR CENTURIES.

MONEY MUST BE PAID FOR MASSES TO BE SAID TO HELP HELEN GET OUT.  THIS IS COMPLETELY AGAINST THE TEACHING OF THE SCRIPTURES.  HELEN WAS TRICKED BY THE ONES SHE TRUSTED, AND IT COST HER SOUL.

ONE OF SATAN'S DIRTIEST TRICKS IS TO TAKE THE ROMAN CATHOLICS, THROUGH FALSE HOPE, INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

PURGATORY IS NOT IN THE BIBLE...IT WAS CREATED BY THE VATICAN AS ONE OF THE GREATEST SOURCES FOR MONEY EVER INVENTED.  BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE MADE "THE WHORE" RICH FROM POOR ROMAN CATHOLIC SURVIVORS WHO PAID TO GET THEIR LOVED ONES OUT OF PURGATORY.*

*SEE "THE BIG BETRAYAL" P. 5 AND 6, PUBLISHED BY CHICK PUBLICATIONS, INC.

Matt 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

TNAB commentary of above verses:  His (Judas Maccabeus) belief was similar to, but not quite the same as, the Catholic doctrine of purgatory.

*LUKE 2:23, 24. LEV. 12:5

THE MARY THE ROMAN CATHOLICS ARE TAUGHT ABOUT USED TO BE CALLED VENUS.

IT STARTED WHEN SEMIRAMIS, IN ANCIENT BABYLON, BECAME A GODDESS.  LATER, IN OTHER COUNTRIES, SHE WAS CALLED ISIS, VENUS, ETC.*

*SEE ANGEL OF LIGHT, CHICK PUBLICATIONS, INC.

NOTE THE SIMILARITY
[Leftside:  Image of haloed Mary with open arms and snake at her feet versus Rightside: Image of haloed Semi-Ramis with open arms holding symbols in her hands and snakes at her feet.]
(Leftside):  ROMAN CATHOLIC MARY
(Rightside):  THE MASONIC ISIS

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM PAGE 144 OF THE OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE LEGION OF MARY, 1975 EDITION PUBLISHED BY CONCILIUM LEGIONIS MARIAE, DUBLIN, IRELAND:

"That Woman (Mary) is the mother alike of the Redeemer and of the redeemed.  It was first from her veins that the blood was drawn which now lies scattered cheaply about, but which has ransomed the world."

THE ABOVE IS TOTAL BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST.

THIS "MARY" WAS DELIBERATELY EXALTED TO GET THE EYES OF ROMAN CATHOLICS OFF JESUS.  THEY MADE HER THE CO-REDEEMER, AND THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN.

ARE THE PRECIOUS ROMAN CATHOLICS CHRISTIAN?  I'M SORRY, BUT THE ANSWER IS NO!  THEY ARE VERY RELIGIOUS AND VERY LOST, BECAUSE THE SYSTEM THEY TRUSTED, HAS BETRAYED THEM.

Lev 12:6
And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:

[The book, a HOLY BIBLE]

GOD in His Word, says:  "... let God be true but every man a liar..."  Romans 3:4

The apostle Paul told the church at Galatia that no matter who came to them bringing any other doctrine (even he himself, or an ANGEL), that they were not to believe it. (Galatians 1:6-12)

GOD'S WORD IS FINAL!

Gal 1:6
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Gal 1:12
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

[Pope John-Paul II, greeting adoring crowded onlookers devotees.]

That is why this false religious system is so evil.  Those trapped within may be sincerely seeking God, but if you are not serving God according to His Word, you are sincerely wrong.

Jesus hates this false religious system.  It has blasphemed His Holy Name, His Holy Word, and has deceived billions of people.

He calls her THE MOTHER OF ABOMINATIONS (Revelation 17:5) and has promised to utterly destroy her, and all those with her.*

But He loves you enough to warn you, and call you to Himself, Jesus says:

[Vatican's St. Petersburg being surrounded by huge crowd.]

*"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." (Revelation 18:4)

Rev 17:5
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Rev 18:4: And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN!

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."  John 14:6

NOBODY ELSE CAN SAVE YOU
1. Admit you are a sinner.
2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose from the dead.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour.

WHAT TO PRAY
Dear God, thank you for showing me what You think about Catholicism, I also reject it!  I accept Christ's sacrifice as perfect and complete.  Please forgive me in Jesus' name.  I invite Jesus Christ to come into my life and I place my trust in Him alone for my salvation.  Thank you for giving me eternal life right now.

Did you accept Jesus Christ as your own personal Saviour?

Yes [] No []
Date_______________

If your answer was yes, then this is just the beginning of a wonderful new life with Christ.  Now:

1. Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.
2. Talk to God in prayer every day (in your own words.)
3. Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.
4. Tell others about Christ.
