LECHERY IN THE CHURCH OF ROME EXPOSED

WARNING:This Treatise contains
Roman Catholic Church Latin translations which use explicit language not suitable
for the young, the immature, the religious, or the self-righteous.
Lechery:
"unrestrained, excessive indulgence of sexual desires; gross sensuality;
lewdness." (Webster)
Lecher: "a man
who indulges in lechery; lewd, grossly sensual man." (Webster)
The root
of both words is Old French, lechier, meaning to live a debauched
life. It literally means to lick. (Webster) Thus, the image of
the dirty old man licking his lips is infamous as signifying a lecher.
"And
their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually
is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord
was crucified."
"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….having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication."
"And
he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean
and hateful bird."
"But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
"And there shall
in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie, but
they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
"For
without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever
loveth and maketh a lie."
In
these verses from the Revelation, our sovereign Lord has given His Church
important clues as to the identity of the false church, Mystery Babylon the
Great. It is upon her the wrath of God is destined to be displayed before the
unbelieving world. This ministry wishes to expose the identity of this great
whore. The Lord wills the true Church know upon whom His righteous judgment
must fall. Once her identity is known, we are certain true believers will
separate from her, warning others. The Elect who reside in her will awaken and
flee. To that end, we have collected data damning to the Church of Rome, her
Papacy and priesthood. It is damning because of its scope in time and place,
its depth of depravity, and its fulfillment of prophecy foretold the Apostle
John. Our research spans centuries and culminates in modern day current events.
Every fact is documented so that the reader may ascertain for himself its
veracity. If what we present to the reader is unbiased historical fact and not
biased fiction, then the reader has but two choices: either (1) ignore the
preponderance of damning evidence and testimony; or (2) believe the
overwhelming evidence and testimony pointing to the Church of Rome as that
doomed, soon to be damned false church depicted as 'Mother' in Revelation 17
& 18.
Furthermore,
if this is so, then her head, the Vicar of Christ, can be none other that the
very Antichrist, that Man of Sin, the son of perdition, marked out in Scripture
as the head of that false Christian body, who usurps the authority and honor
due Christ. For the Papacy is unlike any office in professing Christianity. No
other dynasty in Christendom has consistently insisted in being declared 'Papa'
over the Church Universal, receiving worship and obeisance, (II Thess. 2:3-4).
Nor has any other dynasty in Christendom succeeded in this goal. Nor has any
other dynasty ruled the Roman Catholic Church. Nor will any other dynasty do
so, even until the Day of Christ Jesus.
Additionally,
the wretched decay and corruption in the Church of Rome can be attributed, in
part, to the passivity of the Papacy in addressing and swiftly dealing directly
with the sins of his priesthood and orders. The silence of the popes is a sign
of complicity.
We
begin our journey into the Church of Rome's bottomless pit of perversion by
outlining the decrees of the Ecumenical Church Councils from A. D. 325 through
A. D. 1215 which denounced the moral and venal crimes pervading the 'Christian'
priesthood.
