THE CONFUSION OF THE POPES
The Roman Catholic church
claims it has an "Unbroken List of Popes from Peter to Today."
It calls this List "the Title Deed of the Roman Catholic
Church."
It either has a Title Deed or it does not. Either there is an Unbroken
Line or there is not. If not, the Roman Catholic Church falls apart, and
is proven to be a false church, from which every member should be
converted and put his faith only in Jesus Christ as all-sufficient
Saviour and Lord.
The fact is, there is no such thing as an "unbroken line!" No
Title company in the world would insure the title of the Roman Catholic
Church. It is hopelessly confused. Four official Roman Catholic books
give four different "Title Deeds!" They don't know if the
actual number of the so -called popes is 258, 261, 262, or less.
In 1947, the Vatican made changes regarding 74 popes. It removed
"the little man who never was." Poor "pope" Donus had
been listed as a pope in 973. But in 1947 the Vatican dropped him from
its "unbroken line" - its glorious "Title Deed." Why?
Because they found he had never even existed! In addition, the Vatican
dropped six "popes," and removed the "sainthood" of
four others!
How can this be, since the Roman Catholic Church claims that saints are
made by God in heaven? Ask your priest. Better still, bring him to
THE CONVERSION CENTER, and let us ask him these and other
questions in your presence.
The following are three Roman Catholic approved publications, with
information showing how utterly confused they are concerning this
so-called "Title Deed." -
THE FAITH OF MILLIONS - author, John A. O'Brien, Ph.D. Copyright
1938, published by Our Sunday Visitor (Roman Catholic newspaper), Nihil
Obstat Rev. T. E. Dillon, Censor Librorum; Imprimatur, John Francis Noll,
DD, Bishop of Fort Wayne.
List of popes, pages 67-70. Total number of popes, starting with Peter,
ending with Pius XII,
261.
Pope #137, John XIV; Pope #207, Martin V. Statement on page 70: "Of
the 261 popes from St. Peter to Pius XII, 83 are honored as saints, 7 as
blessed and 33 were martyred; they constitute a distinguished list of
holy and saintly men, linking the Church with Christ and constituting the
Title Deed of the Catholic Church - the one true Church of Jesus Christ
on earth."
WHAT'S THE TRUTH ABOUT CATHOLICS? - author, Rev. John A.O'Brien,
Copyright 1950, published by Our Sunday Visitor, Nihil Obstat Rev. Msgr.
T. E. Dillon, Censor Librorum; Imprimatur John Francis Noll, DD, Bishop
of Fort Wayne.
Llist of popes, pages 66-67. Total number of popes from Peter to Pius
XII,
262.
Pope #137, Donus II; Pope #207, John XXII or XXIII or XXIV.
Pope #5 is shown as Anacletus, whereas in Faith of Millions, #5 is
Evaristus!
A Jan. 18, 1947 news report from the Vatican states that "Pope
Donus" was found to be "a person who never existed!" In
addition, designation of sainthood was removed from Felix II, Liberius,
Anastasio, Stephen III, Stephen V! And poor, deluded, unsuspecting Roman
Catholic people had been praying to these non-existent "saints"
for centruies with the official approval of the same Roman Catholic
Church that now says it was all a mistake! What a horrible
fraud!
THE STORY OF THE POPE - Dell publication, copyright 1957; Nihil
Obstat, John A. Goddwine, JCD, censor librorum, Imprimatur Francis
Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York.
List of popes, pages 64-65. Total number of popes from Peter to Pius XII,
258!
A copy of the Jan. 18, 1947 news
article from Vatican City can be obtained from any Public Library. It was
carried on the front page of the Phila. Inquirer, and in the New York
Times. It was titled, "VATICAN DROPS 6 NAMES FROM LIST OF
POPES."
WE INVITE ALL ROMAN CATHOLICS TO TURN FROM THIS HOPELESS CONFUSION AND
COME T THE TRUE ROCK THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND HIM ALONE! If the
Apostle Peter were alive, today, he would be the first to invite you to
leave this pagan system that has deceived so many because it contains a
mixture of Christianity.
Peter would tell you that Christ is the Rock (I Peter 2:7-8)....(Acts
4:8-12). He would tell you that Matthew 16:18 refers to Christ Himself
(Matt. 16:16; I Cor 10:4) as the Rock upon which the Church is built.
Peter is but a stone in the Church of Christ, as are all born again
Christians (I Peter 1:23; 2:5). All Christians are given the Scriptures
(keys) to to declare the remission of sins by faith in Jesus Christ
(Matt. 16:19, Matt 18:18; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 10:43). COME GIVE YOUR
HEART TO CHRIST TODAY!
