Article: The Pope Says "Submit or Else!"

The papacy declares that all who will not submit to it's doctrines shall be cursed(anathema-damned to hell). The papacy is calling all separated brethren back to the "Mother Church" and is requiring submission to its doctrines or be cursed(anathema).

Here we have set forth fundamental doctrines of the papacy which the Pope is calling you to submit to. Many of the leaders of the separated brethren(Protestants) have already submitted through the ecumenical movement and have found their rightful place with the "Mother of Harlots", the papacy declares itself infallible concerning Christian doctrine and has the place of God Almighty on earth. Will you submit too?

I. DECREE CONCERNING THE EDITION AND USE OF THE SACRED BOOKS
"Further more to check unbridled spirits, it decrees that no one relying on his own judgement shall in matters of faith and morals pertaining to the edifying of Christian doctrine, distorting the Holy Scriptures in accordance with his own conceptions, presume to interpret them contrary to that sense which Holy Mother Church, to whom it belongs to judge of their true sense and interpretation, has held and holds, or even contrary to the unanimous teaching of the fathers, even though such interpretations should never at anytime be published. Those who act contrary to this shall be made known to the ordinaries and punished in accordance with the penalties prescribed by the law. (Council of Trent)(The Canons and decrees of the Council of TrentTan Books and publishers, Inc.Rockford, Illinois 61105)

In other words you can only read and interpret the Bible as they dictate and can use no personal judgement in Bible interpretation. In making such a statement the Vatican tries to take the place of the Holy Spirit. Check these scriptures which refutes this heresy! Matthew 22:29; 1 John 2:27; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Colossians 2:18; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Corinthians 5:11-10:14; 1 John 5:21; Acts 15:20; Galatians 5:20; 1 Peter 4:3.

II. CANON ON THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHRIST
CANON #1, "If anyone denies that the most holy sacrament of the euchrist are contained truly, really and substantially, the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ and consequently the whole Christ, but says that he is in it only as in a sign, or figure or force, let him be anathema." (cursed and damned to hell)

- Council of Trent 13th Session Supreme Pontiff Julius 2, 1551
In simpler terms, if you don't believe that the priest can call Jesus to come down from heaven into a little wafer and that when it is eaten that becomes the actual body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ and that this is a continuation of Calvary where Christ died for our sins then you are cursed." Is there salvation in such blasphemous doctrines?

What the Bible really says: Hebrews 10:10-14; Luke 22:17-20; John 6:63; 1 Corinthians 11:24-26.

III. CANONS ON THE SACRIFICE OF MASS
CANON #2, "If anyone says that by those words, "Do this in commemoration of me." Christ did not institute the apostles priests; or did not ordain that they and other priests should offer his own body and blood, let him be anathema." (cursed)

- Council of Trent 22nd session, 1562 Pope Pius IV.
In simpler terms, if you don't agree that at the time of the last supper when Jesus said "do this in remembrance of me", Christ did not ordain them priest for the sacrificing of Jesus or the eating of the wafer then you are cursed.

CANON #5, "If anyone says that it is a deception to celebrate masses in honor of saints and in order to obtain their intercession with God, as the church intends, let him be anathema." (cursed)

- Council of Trent 22nd session 1562 Pope Pius IV
In simpler terms, they are saying that if you do not believe they are murdering Jesus, this is what the priest would actually be doing by resacrificing Jesus, to gain favour with the saints to obtain their intercession. Would this actually gain favour with the saints if it were true? Christs enemies put him to death! This Canon is total blasphemy!

The Bible says: Hebrews 7:25; 10:10-14; Acts 7:52; Jude 4; II Peter 2.

IV. CANON ON JUSTIFICATION
CANON #24, "If anyone says that the justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely the fruits and signs of justification obtained, but not the cause of its increase, let him be anathema." (cursed)

- Council of Trent 6th Session 1547.
In simpler terms, the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus on the cross was not sufficient so we need to add to it by our good works to be save. This is false!
What the Bible says: Luke 7:50; Romans 5:1-2; 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-10.

V. CANONS CONCERNING THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE
CANON #3, "If anyone says that those words of the Lord and Saviour, 'Receive ye the Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them and whose sins you shall retain they are retained', are not to be understood of the power of forgiving and retaining sins in the sacrament of penance, as the Catholic church has always understood them form the beginning, but distorts them, contrary to the institution of this sacrament, as applying to the authority of preaching the Gospel, let him be anathema." (cursed)

- Council of Trent 14th Session, November 1551, Supreme Pontiff Julius the 3rd.
In other words, this gives the priest the power of forgiving or not forgiving another persons sins, this is a lie and contradicts God's Word, this power is reserved only for the Lord.

The Bible says: I John 1:7, 9; Hebrews 7:25; Ephesians 1:7.

CANON #6, "If anyone denies that sacramental confession was instituted by divine law or is necessary to salvation; or says that the manner of confessing secretly to a priest alone, which the Catholic church has always observed from the beginning and still observes, is at variance with the institution of Christ and is a human contrivance, let him be anathema." (cursed)

- Council of Trent 14th Session, November 1551, Supreme Pontiff Julius the 3rd.
In simpler terms, if you do not believe that confessing our sins to a man called priest is necessary to salvation you are cursed. This is a human contrivance!

The Bible says: Romans 10:9-10; John 3:16; I John 1:9; Romans 4:25; Galatians 5:1; Ephesians 1:7.

VI. CANON ON THE SACRAMENTS IN GENERAL
CANON #4, "If anyone says that the sacraments of the new law are not necessary for salvation but are superfluous, and that without them or without the desire of them men obtain from God through faith alone the grace of justification, though all are not necessary for each one, let him be anathema." (cursed)

- Council of Trent 7th Session celebrated on the third day of March 1547.
In simpler terms, they are saying that man is not justified by faith alone, (faith in the blood, faith in redemption purchased by Jesus Christ and faith in God's Word) but that the performance of the sacraments instituted by the papacy are necessary. Is God's Word in agreement with this?

The Bible says: Romans 1:17; 5:1,2,18; Ephesians 2:8-10; I Corithians 2:4-5; Colossians 2:8.

VII. ON THE INVOCATION, VENERATION AND RELICS OF SAINTS AND ON SACRED IMAGES
"Moreover, that the images of Christ, of the Virgin Mother of God, and of the other saints are to be placed and retained especially in the churches and that due honor and veneration is to be given them; not, however, that any divinity or virtue is believed to be in them by reason of which they are to be venerated, or that something is to be asked of them, or that trust is to be placed in images, as was done of old gentiles who placed their hope in idols; but because the honor which is shown them is referred to the prototypes which they represent, so that by means of the images which we kiss and before which we uncover the head and prostrate ourselves, we adore Christ and venerate the saints whose likeness they bear. That is what was defined by the decrees of the councils, especially of the second council of Nicaea, against the opponents of images.

- Council of Trent 25th Session which is the 9th and last under the Supreme Pontiff, Pius IV, begun on the third and closed on the fourth day of December 1563.

In simpler terms, not the idol itself has any power, but they gain favour with God by the power behind the idols, as all idolaters believed. This is idolatry plain and simple and is an abomination before the Lord.

The Bible says: Exodus 2:4; Deutoronomy 13; Acts 15:20; I Corinthians 5:11; 6:9-11; 10:14; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 5:20; Colossians 2:18; I Peter 4:3; I John 5:21.

VIII. MARY CO-REDEMPTRIX
"The title 'Co-Redemptrix,' which originated in the 14th century, has been widely used by Catholic bishops, theologians, and popular writers ever since. In more recent times it has been employed even in documents of the Holy See. Hence, no one should question its legitimacy."

"But more important than the title itself is its doctrinal content. What does the word 'Co-Redemptrix' mean? For some theologians, it refers to Mary's cooperation in the redemption in the sense that she knowingly and willingly gave birth to the redeemer (indirect, remote cooperation), and that she dispenses to us the fruits (graces) of the redemption already accomplished by Christ alone (technically: cooperation in the subjective redemption). The majority, however believes that, besides the two types of cooperation just mentioned, Mary also contributed to the redemption itself; i.e. to the redemptive action of Christ which was consummated on Calvary (called the objective redemption). Specifically, together with Christ (though in total subordination to him and in virtue of his power), Mary atoned or satisfied for our sins, merited every grace necessary for salvation, and joined the Savior's sacrifice on Calvary to appease the wrath of God. It was in view of this joint operation of son and mother that God was pleased to cancel our debt and take us back into his friendship broken by sin."

- Dictionary of Mary 1985 by Catholic Publishing Co., N.Y.
This is utter blasphemy from the deepest recesses of the pit of hell!
The Bible says: II Peter 1:3-4; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10-14; I Timothy 2:5; John 3:16; Romans 5:18.
Many 'Christian' leaders are afraid to expose Catholicism or are flirting wityh it. By doing so, they are telling the deceived Catholics that they can be saved through this institution, and that these doctrines are acceptable. This is a great evil that puts a large yoke on the Catholics' back, a yoke that will damn them forever. The Lord loves these Catholics and wants us, as Christians, to lift the yoke off their backs, by speaking the truth and bringing them out of Catholicism. Will you lift a finger to lift off this yoke?

Ephesians 5:11-13 says, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Revelation 17 and 18 gives full description of Catholicism.

Revelation 18:4 says, "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."

Revelation 17:5 says, "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." The Catholic institution is referred to as the "Mother of Harlots." She is the mother cult, the biggest cult on the planet. It's doctrines are Babylonian with Christian titles to make it appear biblical. Many people who expose cults, expose every cult but Rome, on the contrary they call it Christian. These men are either deceived or are infiltrators to make Christians believe that the 'Mother of Harlots' is Christian. They are smokescreen for Rome. May the Lord have mercy on these men that they might repent.
