Roman Catholicism
by Lorraine Boettner, Ph.D.
Church & State United is Plan for New World Order
Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company.
"The Syllabus of Errors, issued by pope Pius IX in 1864,
is still in full force where the Roman Church can enforce its will.
The hierarchy in the United States plays down this Syllabus, and for
many years has conducted a subtle campaign designed to hide many of
its distinctive doctrines and so to gain the favor of the American
public. But here are its claims in plain language..Some of its most
distinctive articles in their affirmative form are:
15. "No man is free to embrace and profess the religion that he
believes is true, guided by the light of reason."
17. "Eternal salvation outside the true church of Christ is not even
to be hoped for."
18. "Protestantism is not another and diversified form of the one
true Christian religion in which it is possible to please God
equally as in the Catholic Church."
42. "In legal conflict between Powers (Civil and Ecclesiastical) the
Ecclesiastical Law prevails."
45. "The direction of Public Schools in which the youth of Christian
states are brought up...neither can nor ought to be assumed by the
Civil Authority alone."
48. "Catholics cannot approve of a system of education for youth
apart from the Catholic faith, and disjoined from the authority of
the Church."
55. "The Church ought to be in union with the State, and the State
with the Church." p. 25.
The Syllabus of Errors " forms part of the ordination vows
of every Catholic priest in the world." p 26.
With the majority of Supreme Court Justices being Catholic, and with
the majority of Congress being either Roman Catholic or catholic
(universal) rather than protest for our Constitutional Bill of
Rights that protect our freedoms, we are only a crisis away from
losing everything our founding fathers fought and died for.
Consider these words penned prophetically 120
years ago, (like Noah's warning).
"The whole system of religious principles and doctrines, which
should form the foundation and framework of society, seems to be a
tottering mass, ready to fall. Courts of justice are corrupt.
Jurists are perverted and bribed. Dishonesty of every sort is found
among those who administer the laws. The vilest criminals, when
thrown into prison, are often made the recipients of gifts and
attentions, as if they had attained an enviable distinction. Great
publicity is given to their character and crimes. The press
publishes the revolting details of crimes committed, thereby
initiating others into the practice of fraud, robbery, and murder.
The infatuation of vice, the wanton taking of life, the staggering
increase of addiction and wickedness of every order and degree,
should arouse all who fear God, to inquire what can be done to stay
the tide of evil." This quote is from a 90-page condensation of the
classic book, "The Great Controversy" advertized in TIME
Magazine for $23.95, but you can order the condensed book for
$2.10 postpaid at
