Comment from UTT:

Those who are moving towards ecumenical union with Rome should take the time to read the following article. It is evident that the authority of the pope as the head of Roman Catholicism remains the key factor with regard to "the unity of the faith." If you want to join hands with Rome, then expect to be asked to be obedient to the pope, even if it contradicts the Word of God.

The Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ is the head of the church, not a man, who like every other human being is a fallen sinner. When we trust in any man or his movement, we are on a dangerous pathway that has the potential to lead to deception.

July 5 - Pope guarantees the authentic faith that comes from above, Spanish cardinal says

Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

Toledo, Jul 5, 2008 / 01:14 am (CNA).- The Archbishop of Toledo, Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera, said this week that the authentic faith Catholics should live out "comes from on high solely through divine revelation" and is "guaranteed by the successor of Peter."

The faith, he said, "comes from on high solely through divine revelation and is guaranteed by the successor of Peter, so that we can live more deeply the mystery of unity" and fearlessly "proclaim hope for all mankind."

He said his prayers were that Catholics would be "strengthened by the faith, that faith that can only be lived out with Peter, in unbreakable unity with the successors of Peter and the Apostles."

The Pauline Year should be one of "prayer for the Holy Father, that his intentions and desires may be fulfilled, which are always of mercy, grace, peace and reconciliation for the whole world, in order to show that God, who is love, is with us, and that we have discovered Him in his human face, which is that of His Son Jesus Christ, come in the flesh through the work of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary."
