It is blowing in the wind, just like the majority of Christendom. With B16, I thought we had a real rock, but he did not last long enough. Then Frank comes along, and we see just how bad it can get in a hurry. Rome today supports almost everything it has stood against through time. Trust not in princes, even of the Roman sort!<br /><br />Fr.

All he can do is continue to sow doubt in the minds of his flock and clergy; DV this will throw a spanner in the works of the papist apologetic machine and show Rome's claim to steadfastness to be the sham that it is.Kirk Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142889734004402296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-67836334311509975712015-11-20T06:59:40.599-06:002015-11-20T06:59:40.599-06:00In his "On War Against the Turk" (1528),...In his "On War Against the Turk" (1528), Luther stated:<br /><br />“But as the pope is Antichrist, so the Turk is the very devil. The prayer of Christendom is against both. Both shall go down to hell, even though it may take the Last Day to send them there; and I hope it will not be long.”<br /><br />Today this should be the prayer of Christendom, including Lutherans. And today the prayer continues to include not only the pope and the invading islamohordes as in Luther's time, but also the 'Turk' in the White House.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.com
