The Whore of Babylon
Hello everyone and welcome to the Vortex where lies and falsehoods are trapped and
exposed. I’m Michael Voris.
Quite often .. we get knocked here at The Vortex for being insensitive to other religions.
Our official response to that .. whatever. Sensitivity is we suppose .. in the mind of the
offended .. which makes the charge nebulous at best.
One man’s offense is another man’s truth and validation. But that said .. we must point
out that there is a virulent current in Protestantism that is rabidly anti-Catholic.
Now liberals and milquetoast Catholics don’t like to either admit this very often .. or
when they do .. they minimize the hatred toward the Faith. Many times .. the motivation for dismissing or ignoring the hate is so that they don’t have to confront it. It’s much easier for some personalities to move through life always
wanting everything to be pretty and sunshiny and fuzzy and balloons.
They aren’t equipped to deal with the ugliness of life. But that doesn’t make the ugliness
of life go away. In fact .. it gives the ugliness of life the upper hand because it can
proceed unchecked in many places.
We reference the heresy of Protestantism .. and that is what it is .. a heresy .. because it is
a distortion of Christianity .. actually Christ Himself. Within Protestantism there are over 40 thousand different competing version of
Christianity. Some are crazy liberal like most of the mainliners such as Episcopalians or
Presbyterians .. who have essentially given up any pretense to being rooted in their own
tradition or their own version of the Scriptures.
Then there are .. among many other still .. a much more rabid fundamentalist band.
These groups form a hard center nucleus of what the majority of Protestantism is today.
The old guard Protestant faiths are fading away. But these pulpit pounding frothing and
spitting ones are growing in numbers and it is from these buildings that the current
Protestant group mind think is really emerging these days. They have the spotlight. They have the megaphones. These have the high profile
personalities that command center stage. And ALL of that is used to rain down lies and
hate on the Catholic Church.
We’ve attached a link to just one such sermon – if it can be even classified as a sermon –
by the Baptist preacher Robert Jeffress ..the same fellow who drew attention a week or
so ago when he made comments about Mormonism and Mitt Romney.
In his screed .. he says that Satan is behind the Catholic Church and the Church is the
whore of Babylon talked about in the Book of Revelation.
Now again .. the more milquetoast Catholic crowd will just laugh that off. Don’t be so
quick. Jeffress drew attention because he was the preacher man who introduced
Republican GOP hopeful Texas governor Rick Perry at the Values Voters Summit.
For the moment the influence men like him may have in the world of politics .. how
much or little it may actually be .. is not the topic of this Vortex.
What is .. is that he .. and people like him .. like John Hagee who is another untheological
loudmouth command huge audiences and weak minded or ill informed people who sit
their absorbed by the personalities of these stump preachers and BELIEVE what they say.
They build huge buildings .. and assemble together huge numbers of people who they
train .. and they write books and launch tv shows and own and operate a sizable
communications apparatus that spreads their lies and garbage far and wide.
They school so called missionaries and send them to third world countries in Africa and
Latin America where they eat away at already converted Catholic populations and
convince them of their stupidity and animus against the Church founded by Christ.
And again .. the softies in the Church and those unprepared or afraid to pick up the sword
against this mindless nonsense sit back and make up excuses and prefer to talk about
what we have in common with them on the moral front. Granted .. we do have much in common on the moral front .. they are almost always prolife
.. pro-family and all the rest. But what good does all that do a person if in the end ..
he or she walks away from the fullness of truth that exists ONLY in the Catholic Church.
Many Catholic pastors at many parishes are happy to cooperate and share and dialog with
and have bake sales and little warm and fuzzy prayer services and community outreach
exchanges with these groups.
If they aren’t working to A) convert them and B) protect their flocks against their
falsehoods .. all the little tea socials and quilt sewing parties they invite them to won’t
accomplish a thing.
Too many Catholics are coming under the sway of this tidal wave from the Protestant
world .. which manifests itself as little else than a subtle undercurrent in thousands of
parishes and disguises itself as ecumenism.
The Church has to fight on many fronts .. some obvious like the culture wars where we
battle agnostics and atheists and secular humanists. But other battles may not seem so
urgent .. like with the Protestant heresy which in the end may prove to be even more
destructive because while the enemy in the culture wars undermines moral truth ..
Protestantism undermines doctrinal truth.
GOD Love You.
