Introduction
While this testimony may seem offensive to some mainstream denominations, my goal is to share the power of God in my life.
Childhood Background

“Believe me when I tell you this, the man who listens to my words, and puts his trust in Him who sent me, enjoys eternal life; he does not meet with rejection, he has passed over already from death to life” Jn. 5v24.
In May 1935, in the city of Dublin, I was born into an ardent Roman Catholic family. I was baptised and brought up in the Roman Catholic Church, my education, both secular and religious, being controlled by members of a teaching known as Read the rest...
My father was Cath and my mother converted a few yrs after they married. When I was born, she said “she couldn’t get me to the church fast enough” to be baptized. I attended a parochial school through 7th grade receiving communion & confirmation. Honestly, at this point I thought 99% of the world was also Cath, all the ngbhrs seemed to go to our church. I had only once been to a different denominational church (for a Read the rest...
Ever since man’s first sin, he has been trying to cover his guilt and become acceptable to God through self-effort. Adam and Eve made a covering for their sin by sewing fig leaves together, but God quickly showed them that the works of man could never cover sin. Innocent blood would have to be shed, “for without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Heb. 9:22). An animal had to be slain so God could use the skin to cover their sin. “The LORD God made garments of Read the rest...
The Roman Catholic view of Mary is pagan, it is utterly pagan. Listen to what the [Roman Catholic] Church says,
1. Pope Benedict XV, in 1918 – “Mary suffered with Christ and nearly died with Him when He died, thus she may rightly be said to have redeemed the human race with Christ.”
2. Pope Pius XI, in 1923 – “The virgin of sorrows shared the work of redemption with Jesus Christ.”
3. Pope Leo XIII, in 1891 – “No one can approach Christ except Read the rest...

“Papal Infallibility” means that when a pope is speaking in his official position on any issue of faith or morals, he is speaking infallibly, meaning without error. This is a most dangerous doctrine because it gives the Roman Catholic church the authority to teach whatever it wants. The apostles never regarded any man to be infallible, only the Word of God is said to be infallible.
Catholicism claims that Peter was the first pope. Read the rest...
