Concerns from Rome

Direct quotes of Vatican's "Lausanne Movement" (a sub-council of the World Council of Churches)

"... We are determined to put behind us once and for all, as a hangover from the colonial past, the simplistic distinction between First World sending and Two-Third World receiving countries. For the great new fact of our era is the internationalization of missions. Not only are a large majority of all evangelical Christians now non-Western, but the number of Two-Thirds World missionaries will soon exceed those from the West. We believe that mission teams, which are diverse in composition but united in heart and mind, constitute a dramatic witness to the grace of God.

Our reference to ‘the whole church’ is not a presumptuous claim that the universal church and the evangelical community are synonymous. For we recognize that there are many churches which are not part of the evangelical movement. Evangelical attitudes to the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches differ widely. Some evangelicals are praying, talking, studying Scripture, and working with these churches. Others are strongly opposed to any form of dialogue or cooperation with them. All evangelicals are aware that serious theological differences between us remain. Where appropriate, and so long as biblical truth is not compromised, cooperation may be possible in such areas as Bible translation, the study of contemporary theological and ethical issues, social work, and political action. We wish to make it clear, however, that common evangelism demands a common commitment to the biblical gospel.

Some of us are members of churches which belong to the World Council of Churches and believe that a positive yet critical participation in its work is our Christian duty. Others among us have no link with the World Council. All of us urge the World Council of Churches to adopt a consistent biblical understanding of evangelism..."

-- Editor's Notes: Did you notice that they barely referenced that the whole Lausanne monster movement is both ecumenical and run by the Vatican system? It's in the middle of the second paragraph there, and is stated again in the third paragraph because the World

Jesuit involvement in the World Council of Churches and their "new" group the Lausanne Movement (which used to be called the Lausanne Council - info has seemingly been all deleted). Evidence is really simple - you can, but don't need to - look further than the fact that the first (or second) openly Jesuit "pope" has been to the WCC ecumenical meetings. That's just one link, and yes they use the word "ecumenical".

Several places on the WCC note Billy Graham's involvement in founding the "Lausanne Movement". Billy Graham, of course, being a very prominent Catholic leader (if not Jesuit. At very least Jesuit agent) as well as freemason.

Major leaders trying to push us back to Rome:

-- Rick Warren:

"... Rick Warren endorsed Tom Peterson’s 2013 book Catholics Come Home, which promotes the program of bringing “lapsed” Catholics back into the arms of Rome. Warren’s endorsement, as follows, reflects a frightful level of spiritual blindness:

“The mission of Tom Peterson and Catholics Come Home to bring souls home to Jesus and the church is critically important during this challenging time in our history. I fully support this new evangelization project.”..."

"It is one thing to invite unconverted Roman Catholics to a gospel meeting to hear the gospel preached, but it is quite another matter to go to a meeting where Roman Catholics, and Roman Catholic priests that are still firmly in Rome, are preaching from the platform." --Christian News, June 26, 1988...

-- Rome (and her leaders)

" To my Protestant brothers and sisters: It’s time to come back to Mother Church. We want you, we need you, we love you..."

-- Hundreds more...

There are hundreds of so-called Protestant leaders around the world trying to get all honest followers of Christ to go back and submit to the tyranny of Rome and her "church".

"July 9. 2015 VATICAN CITY – Following more than five hundred years of separation, American and European Protestant leaders met with Pope Francis last week to finalize the reunification of the two churches under the Holy See. The historic agreement is the result of a year’s worth of unpublicized talks between Protestant leaders and the Vatican...."
