Religious Political Muslim Scholars want a Religious Political POPE Apology
This Is A Picture of NO TRUTH Wanting Apology From A Corrupted Truth!
During the Tribulation Period “NO TRUTH” SHALL Punish “Corrupted Truth”
Islamic Beast will buck off Mother and her Daughters of “Corrupted Truth”
The Spirit’s Cry to Mother and Daughters Is “Come Out of Her, My People”
Ten Horns Make her desolate, naked, eat her flesh, and burn her with Fire.
There are many churches today failing to teach “the faith” Once Delivered.
Determine for Yourself from the Word the Spirit Wrote Which Ones Do Not!
Believers should know from the Word why they believe what they Practice!
There is a judgment seat of Jesus Christ waiting for believers after trump 7.
And All believers are responsible for what they practiced after being Saved!

Jude 1:3 – Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
I Timothy 4:1-3 – Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
II Thessalonians 2:3 – Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Falling Away – Apostasia – Apostasy – A falling away from the truth – Bullinger Lexicon
On October 28, 312 the Emperor Constantine led the forces of the Roman Empire to victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge. Tradition has it that, the night before the battle, Constantine had a vision that he would achieve victory if he fought under the Symbol of Christ; accordingly, his soldiers bore on their shields the Chi-Rho sign composed of the first two letters of the Greek word for “Christ” (ΧΡΙΣΤΌΣ).
In 313 the Edict of Milian declared the Roman Empire neutral towards religious views, in effect ending the persecution of Christians.
November 18, 326: Pope Sylvesster consecrated the Basilica of St. Peter built by Constantine the Great over the tomb of the Apostle. It was at this time corrupt leaven teachings and practices began to creep into the Church in Rome.
In February 380: Emperor Theodosius I issued an edict, De Fide Catolica, in Thessalonica, published in Constantinople, declaring Catholic Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire Heresy began to increase at the First Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 381 and at the Council of Rome under Pope Damasus I which set the Canon of the Bible, listing the accepted books of the Old Testament and the New Testament. No others are to be considered scripture.
The changes in the beliefs of the Catholic Church are phenomenal and many of the groups that came out of her are classified as “her daughters.” Unfortunately, the small leaven they carried from her womb has grown in churches that only faintly resemble the local visible Church in Rome in the Apostles Day, and what they teach and practice is quite different from what local churches were teaching and practicing when John wrote the Revelation. The “Woman and Her Daughters” will be judged for their apostasy, their departure from the truth once delivered to the saints, during the tribulation period prior to the seventh trumpet.
Many Daughters, after they leave home and grow older, have a tendency to look, act, and take on the beliefs of their Mother. This can be a very good thing or a very bad thing. It depends on what God thought of the actions of their Mother.
The Mother Catholic Church has given birth to many daughter churches that, as they have grown older century after century, have taken on some of the apostasy beliefs of her teachings.
Revelation 17:1-7,15-18 – And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE CITY WHICH RULED THE KNOWN WORLD WHEN JOHN WROTE REVELATION – THE CITY OF ROME.
Revelation 18:4-8 – And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. [7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

International Union Of Muslim Scholars: The Pope Must Apologize To The Muslims
September 26, 2012
Special Dispatch No. 4975
On September 13, 2012, the day before Pope Benedict XVI began his visit to Lebanon, the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), headed by Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, issued a communiqué attacking him. The IUMS called on the pope to apologize for the acts of slaughter committed by the Crusaders in Spain, and for a 2006 lecture in which he claimed that the Muslim religion supports violence.
The following are excerpts from the communique:[1]
The Pope Should Apologize To Muslims “As He Apologized To The Jews”
“While the [International] Union [of Muslim Scholars] is working to calm the rage of Muslims worldwide, [which was aroused] by non-Muslims insulting the honorable Messenger [i.e. the Prophet Muhammad], [so that they] confine themselves to peaceful protests and not attack any embassy or Christian site – it [also] calls on the pope to apologize to Muslims for his lecture [in 2006 in Regensburg, Germany],[2] his apostolic exhortation,[3] and the slaughters committed by the Crusaders [against Muslims] in Andalusia, just as he apologized to the Jews.
“It is known that the IUMS espouses the mainstream [Islamic] ideology, which is based on peaceful coexistence and respecting the rights of others, and calls for constructive dialogue as the best way to solve problems and build balanced relationships. Therefore, the IUMS tried to conduct dialogue with the Vatican, but felt that it was one-sided. In addition, the current pope, in his famous lecture, made false accusations about Islam and its magnificent Messenger, may Allah’s prayer and peace be upon Him. The IUMS demanded that he apologize for the content [of the lecture], but he did not do so. As a result, the IUMS ceased dialogue with the Vatican until [the pope] apologized or until the situation changed…
“During his visit to Lebanon, the pope means to sign the apostolic exhortation, which includes a series of dangerous ideas and messages, among them a clear call to Christianize the world, a warning against the Islamicization of Muslim society; and [attempts to] frighten Christians about political Islam in the region. This helps to spark the fire of fitna among partners in the [Lebanese] homeland (Muslims and their Christian brethren), especially in light of attempts by some Christians to distribute a movie insulting the magnificent Messenger, may Allah’s prayer and peace by upon Him, and attempts by one American pastor to burn the noble Koran, and to set a trial date for the magnificent Messenger…”[4]
The Pope Warns Against Political Islam, But Is Engaged In Political Christianity
“It is strange that at a time when the pope is warning against political Islam, he himself is engaged in political Christianity in the fullest sense of the term. In light of what was mentioned, the IUMS stresses the following:
“1. The IUMS reiterates its call to the pope to apologize for his famous lecture at a German university and for the acts of the Crusaders in Andalusia and Al-Sham [greater Syria] during the Crusades, which included murder, expulsion, arson and tyranny, just as he personally apologized to the Jews for Christian acts against them.
“2. The IUMS calls on the pope not to ratify the document known as the apostolic exhortation and not to sign it, since it contains erroneous information and incites sectarian fitna between Muslims and Christians who have lived as partners in the homeland, as evinced by the leaders of all Islamic movements stressing the full rights of Christians.
“3. The IUMS demands that Islamic countries and peoples fulfill their duty to their ummah and their faith by applying political and economic pressure in order to defend Islam and weak minorities.
“4. The IUMS demands that Muslim scholars fulfill their duties of guidance and explaining the truth.”

6 former Episcopal clergymen are ordained in Catholic Church

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, pastors By Jim Jones Fort Worth Star-Telegram Article
Special to the Star-Telegram
KELLER — Under a huge dome with images of winged angels, six former Fort Worth-area Episcopal clergymen — including a father and son — lay facedown at a marble altar Saturday and were ordained as priests in the Roman Catholic Church.
In what officials called a historic moment, Fort Worth Catholic Bishop Kevin Vann and other white-robed priests in the diocese laid hands on the priests at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Keller to welcome them.
It was the first ordination class under Pope Benedict XVI’s new Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, created Jan. 1 to allow Episcopal priests to be ordained as Catholic clergy and for Episcopal congregations to join the Roman Catholic Church.
The priests’ wives carried in vestments that the priests later donned, assisted by other clergy. Then, standing before Vann, the priests each said, “I will” in answer to his questions about whether they will faithfully carry out their responsibilities.
More than 1,000 in the church stood and applauded.
The ordinariate is headed by a former Fort Worth Episcopal priest, Monsignor Jeffrey Steenson, who earlier converted to Catholicism.
“This is very moving for me today personally,” Steenson said. “These men were all part of my generation, and we all served in Fort Worth.”
The pope created the ordinariate to help Episcopal churches and clergy who want to become Catholic but keep part of their Anglican roots.
It’s an enlargement of a system begun by Pope John Paul II in 1981 that first allowed married Episcopal priests to become Catholic clergy.
“We are Catholics now with an Anglican heritage,” said one of the ordained priests, the Rev. Charles Hough III, a former high-ranking official in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. In what officials said was a rare happening, son Charles Hough IV was ordained with his father.
“My feeling is that I’m just overjoyed by the whole thing,” the elder Hough said. “I’m blessed to say my son’s a part of it, too. That’s an added bonus. I am so proud of my son. He’s such a fine young priest.”
The younger Hough was recently named pastor of Our Lady of Walsingham Ordinariate Parish in Houston, which will be the principal church of the ordinariate under which the former Episcopal priests will serve.
“It’s a great honor,” the younger Hough said. “And I’m absolutely delighted and honored to be ordained with my dad.”
The six are among 35 Episcopal priests to be ordained this summer, Steenson said.
Sixty former Episcopal priests are expected to be ordained by year’s end, he said. “This is by far the largest class.”
The new ordinariate has a decidedly Fort Worth flavor.
Steenson, a former rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Fort Worth and former bishop of the Diocese of the Rio Grande, based in Albuquerque, heads the Houston-based ordinariate. The ordinariate is much like a diocese with a broader scope.
Steenson said his ordinariate “stretches from Newfoundland to Hawaii and from the Rio Grande to the Arctic Circle.”Since Steenson is married, he’s not eligible to be a Catholic bishop. His role as ordinary is similar to a bishop’s. He will have voting rights with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Vann serves as a member of the governing council of the ordinariate. In October, he was appointed ecclesiastical delegate for pastoral provision, a position created by the Vatican to assist Anglican priests in becoming ordained as Catholic clergy.
Steenson and the six men ordained opposed many of the changes in the Episcopal Church, including the ordination of gay priests and bishops.
All emphasized, however, that those issues were not central in their decisions to convert.
“Hopefully we understand that this is not just about being opposed to something,” Steenson said.
“If you were just opposed to something, you don’t want to join the Catholic Church. It’s a lot more than that.”
The Rev. Mark Cannaday said his ordination ends a long journey.
“My decision had nothing to do with current issues,” he said, adding that he has been drawn to elements of Catholicism for many years.
The younger Hough said: “For me, it’s not running away from something or saying the Episcopal Church is falling apart. My decision was going toward truth. To me, the current issues in the Episcopal Church are symptoms of a greater problem, and that was authority. There was no authority to say this was or was not part of Christian practice.”
One of those ordained, the Rev. Christopher Stainbrook, was the longtime rector of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Fort Worth and led most of his members into converting to Catholicism. Now his Catholic group meets at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church in Fort Worth.
“As you might remember, St. Timothy has always been very, very Catholic in practice,” Stainbrook said.
“This is just a natural progression.”
The Rev. Timothy Perkins said he and others who left the Episcopal Church looked forward to what promised to be greater Anglican-Catholic unity.
“We saw the gap become wider because of various doctrinal decisions,” Perkins said. “The appointment of gay priests and bishops was really late. It began much earlier with other decisions, including the ending of the tradition of an all-male priesthood.”
The Rev. Joshua Whitfield was ordained on his 34th birthday. He said controversies in the Episcopal Church had a minor role in his decision.
“I didn’t like the turmoil,” he said. “I didn’t like the left and I didn’t like the right.”
