"The Catholic Church’s problem has its roots in an ecumenism that borders on syncretism"

The plan of the Catholic hierarchy is the same one they've always had - to rule the religion of the whole world. The method is to simply digest the other religions, the way a large corporation buys its competitor.

It crossed the ecumenism/syncretism border the first century of it existence, incorporating pagan rites and beliefs and holidays into its form of "Christianity". Masses , Rosary beads, wafers, Mariolatry, priests, Popes, Lent, monasteries, candles, celibacy, abstinences, veneration of relics, veneration of the "Monstrance", purgatory, praying to deceased saints, Papal infallibility and the immaculate conception and assumption are not of our God. They are imported from paganism or invented by men.

Todays integration of Islam is nothing new. In fact, it's 16 centuries old. The Catholic Church is very consistent. If you think it changes, you may be sure that it never does.

Your ignorance of the Catholic Church, and of history in general, could fill an ocean.

And this here is the problem. Instead of focusing energy and talents on the poor souls who do not know to call God Father and Jesus Lord and Saviour, people sit around and attack fellow believers. After all, it is a lot easier than actually witnessing to those who have never known the Truth.

Spreading falsehoods about particular religions is no different than spreading the falsehoods contained in Islam. And yet, some Christians have no qualms doing so.
