 August 8 - Pope Francis: Trust God - not idols
 Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

Comment from UTT:

The Bible teaches that idols are an abomination and have no part in the worship of the one true God. Is Pope Francis concerned about the many Catholics around the world who seem to have ignored this important commandment? If this is the case, major changes lie ahead.
