Catholic Truths From a Catholic
 
From Paul Nixon, the General Secretary of the West Mercia Roman Mission, 75 Ford Lane, Crew, England, comes this very interesting article which tells you what neither the pope nor the press are going to tell you.

"What is wrong with the church in the present day?  Clearly many things.  A few examples will suffice to show that many grievous problems afflict the church, not only from without, which is common, but also from within."

(From here on in the article we will insert the word "Catholic" before the word church, because as you know, all news media writers, and all Catholic writers when they say "the church" are never referring to the Body of Christ, or any church in the Bible.  They are always referring to the Roman Catholic heirarchy, and the members which are in subjection to the Catholic heirarchy.  The term "the church" is an extremely misleading term, so we will help them out by defining it as we go.)
"In the last twenty years at least 70,000 priests have given up their ministry, many to marry.  Vast numbers of seminaries have closed every year, more convents close down, baptisms decline, mass attendance nationwide is dropping by over 25,000 a year."
 
Now this, of course, is truth.  The truth is the whole Catholic system is falling apart religiously, while the pope gains strength politically.  That is the truth.
 
"For many Catholics, confession is a thing of the past, faith grows weak, many Catholics especially in the teaching orders of catechetists no longer believe much of the teaching of the church.  At least a generation of Catholics have grown up since the Second Vatican Council who have a hazy grasp of the faith, and certainly have not been taught many of the unchangeable truths of God.  Such as Jesus is God, what we receive at holy communion is actually the true body of God made man, and must be adored as our creator, no human action can ever dissolve the completed Christian marriage, the Catholic church communed with Rome and the mystical body of Christ are one of the same thing, that death is the separation of our body and our soul, that each soul immediately after death appears before the judgment seat of God and then goes to heaven, purgatory or hell."
 
And there they are.
Those are the root doctrines of the Roman Catholic church.

The writer goes on:  "Ecumenism is a new religion.  It is very much opposed to many Catholic doctrines.  Firstly, it is a doctrine revealed by God which we must believe for eternal salvation, that the church of Christ is the Roman Catholic Church.  THOSE WHO DO NOT BELONG TO THE CHURCH ARE OUTSIDE THE WAY OF SALVATION PROVIDED BY GOD."

Now that is a Catholic telling the truth.  The pope is not going to tell you the truth.  But that bird will.  That is the General Secretary for a Roman Catholic mission in England.  The truth is, there are millions of Roman Catholics who are completely nominal, and know nothing about their religion at all.  Their beliefs about their religion are determined by the pope's political speeches that the news media reports.

The truth is, the doctrinal teaching of the popes haven't changed any.  In order to be pope, all popes have to confess the Tridentine Confession, where they swear by God that the most important and holy council the Catholic church ever assembled was The Council of Trent.  The Council of Trent makes it clear that every Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Jew, and Episcopalian is damned.  The thing is, in the new religion ecumenism, the pope just conveniently keeps his mouth shut.  His "under lieutenants," like Paul Nixon of the Roman Catholic Mission, know how the land lies.
