News Alert

Comment from Understand The Times:

While our web site has been paralyzed for the last three weeks as the result of hackers and the malicious damage that has been caused, UTT has still been researching and reporting on the news as it relates to the Bible. The following news alert regarding the pope's visit to the United States is very significant.

Most people are not aware that the Roman Catholic Church headed by the pope has an agenda to win the world to the Roman Catholic Jesus (the Eucharistic Christ). The Eucharistic Christ, is different from the historical Jesus in that the Roman Catholic Jesus requires a Roman Catholic priest to formulate �his� presence through the �mystery� of transubstantiation. This �Jesus� (a wafer) is then offered at mass as the Sacrament of the Eucharist (called an unbloody sacrifice). The Eucharistic Christ is also found on the altar in many Catholic churches and worshiped and adored in what is termed Eucharistic adoration.

In the article beneath, the pope uses ecumenical speak when he states the following:

I have come to repeat the Apostle's urgent call to conversion and the forgiveness of sins, and to implore from the Lord a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church in this country.

While statements like this seem to impress leaders like Pat Robertson as well as other �evangelical Protestants,� that Roman Catholicism has relaxed the view that the Roman Catholic Church is the one and only true church, another statement in the same article indicates otherwise. While the word evangelization is used in the title of the article, this is not accurate. The term that should have been used is the �new evangelization.� In fact, later in the same article, we read that the pope actually used this term:

Those who have �taken up the challenge of the Second Vatican Council, so often reiterated by Pope John Paul II, and committed their lives to the new evangelization� also received the encouragement of the Pope.

The goal of Eucharistic adoration is to win the �separated brethren� and eventually all religions to the Roman Catholic Church in order to set up the kingdom of God here on earth. As the pope stated:

� the Holy Father prayed that Catholics in America will use this momentus occasion �to reaffirm their unity in the apostolic faith, to offer their contemporaries a convincing account of the hope which inspires them (cf. 1 Pet 3:15), and to be renewed in missionary zeal for the extension of God's Kingdom.�

It is amazing to see the delusion that the Bible indicates will happen in the last days. Few seem to have the discernment what is happening. This is a time to follow Jesus and His word and not some man (holy Father) and his movement.

It is also interesting to see the role that the Purpose Driven Peace Plan and the Emerging Church has to work together with Roman Catholics and anyone of any religion for the purpose of establishing the kingdom of God here on earth.

What "kingdom" is this? Could it be the kingdom being set up for the antichrist?

April 17 - Benedict XVI calls for renewal of American Church and evangelization

He continued by explaining his purpose in his trip. "I have come to repeat the Apostle's urgent call to conversion and the forgiveness of sins, and to implore from the Lord a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church in this country."

Once forgiveness and conversion occur, the Holy Father prayed that Catholics in America will use this momentus occasion "to reaffirm their unity in the apostolic faith, to offer their contemporaries a convincing account of the hope which inspires them (cf. 1 Pet 3:15), and to be renewed in missionary zeal for the extension of God's Kingdom."

"Who can deny that the present moment is a crossroads, not only for the Church in America but also for society as a whole?" he said.

Those who have "taken up the challenge of the Second Vatican Council, so often reiterated by Pope John Paul II, and committed their lives to the new evangelization" also received the encouragement of the Pope.

While highlighting the progress that has been already made in teaching the faith in the US, Pope Benedict called for the cultivation of "a mindset, an intellectual 'culture', which is genuinely Catholic, confident in the profound harmony of faith and reason, and prepared to bring the richness of faith's vision to bear on the urgent issues which affect the future of American society."

In closing, the Pope returned to his call to American Catholics for a renewal of the Church in America, saying that it "depends on the renewal of the practice of Penance and the growth in holiness which that sacrament both inspires and accomplishes." Being a people of hope, the Pope called on Americans to "continue to be a leaven of evangelical hope in American society, striving to bring the light and truth of the Gospel to the task of building an ever more just and free world for generations yet to come."
