For a number of years,
we have been speaking out on the folly of evangelicals ecumenically yoking
with Roman Catholics in hopes of preserving our civil and religious
liberties. It is sheer madness and folly for evangelicals to resort to treason
against our Lord Jesus Christ in hopes such a strategy will provoke the
Lord to give them a victory over the enemies of His church! But it is
also folly because just as true, orthodox Romanists will always
supplant the cause of Christ with the cause of popery, they are also
willing to toss their conservative political convictions, so-called, out
the window if need be to gain ground for their master in Rome. Now, yet
another example of that reality has surfaced.
Many Americans, including
Christians, are familiar with the conservative, pro-family, pro-life
Catholic League and CL President Bill Donohue. Readers may or may not know
that President Barack Obama's nominee to fill the upcoming U.S. Supreme
Court vacancy is also Roman Catholic. In fact, if confirmed, Sonia
Sotomayor, will be the sixth Roman Catholic on the court! Now, I am really
tempted to comment on this nomination of Sotomayor with regard to the coy
relationship between socialist Barack Obama and socialist Benedict the
XVI. For instance, is it just a coincidence that the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore
Romano, has been running pro-Obama editorials? But, I mentioned
Bill Donohue for a reason. So I will simply urge Christians to read "The
Coming (Phoney) War Between Barack and Benedict" and get
to the point regarding Donohue. The Sotomayor nomination has shown Mr. Donohue,
who is certainly no friend of the gospel, to be no friend of
constitutional liberty or true law either. Instead it has shown him
to be a true son of Rome and a reliable foot soldier for the pope. Rather
than lobby against the liberal, leftist judicial activist Sonia Sotomayor,
Donohue has announced that he is actually in her corner because,
as he told CNN today, "Even though I'm a conservative and she is not,
there's still a certain way that you do root for the home team." The
pope's sentiments exactly, although the popes do considerably more than
"root" in their bid to romanize the USA and the whole world.
Will those ecumenical evangelicals ever remove that "kick me"
sign off the seat of their pants? More importantly, will they ever return
to their first love, stop betraying Him, and cease making Antichrist's
work easy?
