Jeffress Says Satan Rules Catholicism
Catholic League ^ | 10/12/2011 | n/a

Posted on 10/12/2011 12:03:22 PM PDT by Pyro7480

Last Friday, Rev. Robert Jeffress, the Dallas pastor who introduced Gov. Rick Perry at the Values Voter Summit, spoke derisively about the Mormon faith of Mitt Romney, making the case that “Mormonism is a cult.” Two days later, he chided Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism as “false religions.”

Last year, Rev. Jeffress said the Roman Catholic Church was the outgrowth of a “corruption” called the “Babylonian mystery.” He continued, “Much of what you see in the Catholic Church today doesn’t come from God’s word. It comes from that cult-like pagan religion. Isn’t that the genius of Satan?”

Catholic League president Bill Donohue offered these remarks today:

Where did they find this guy? When theological differences are demonized by the faithful of any religion—never mind by a clergyman—it makes a mockery of their own religion. Rev. Jeffress is a poster boy for hatred, not Christianity.

(Got enough of them in my extended family.)

Me too, but I don’t consider them bigots that hate catholics. In my case, they have serious problems with the Catholic organization and the Pope specifically, and have some good scripture references to back it up.

IOW, they make a fairly reasonable case. I don’t agree with them, but they are not the crazies some would have you believe. Then again, my family is not yours. :-D

BINGO!

Give me a kind moral Mormon anyday over one of these fanatical women-hating Catholic-baiting redneck Southern baptists!

I am DONE with Perry—finito!

Jeffries is not Perry’s pastor.

What’s the big deal? All Perry has to say is “This is not the Reverend Jeffres I knew” and all will be well.

Did I miss the part about Perry attending Robert Jeffress' church for 20 years?

Agreed (though I’ve never been on-board with Perry - in-state tuition for children of illegals killed his chances with me).

Jeffress is irrelevant.

Why is everyone making a big deal of this man, thereby trying to taint the reputation of a Republican presidential candidate?

(FWIW, seeing the Roman Catholic Church as a corruption of biblical/historical Christianity is not a “fringe” belief.)

No, I disagree strongly. This is the kind of stuff that is inexcusable.

Actually, I’ve read quite a bit about “mystery babylon”. He is not alone in what he says and these folks do make a strong case. I am not sympathetic to their claims only because the case cannot be proven or disproven. My take is that in the end we will find out. I take it all on a case by case basis. As more evidence presents itself I will solidify my position.

I think those that study His word and follow the fruit of these various trees things will see things pretty clearly. And spiritual Christianity is all about ones personal relationship with Christ, not what others believe.

omigosh another religious leader who doesn’t accept the validity of other religions! Why can’t we all just get along and become Unitarians?

It may not be a fringe belief, but that doesn't automatically make it a correct belief.

20 years or 20 days, Perry owns him. Deal with it.

So now that this Hee Haw has gone after Romney, perhaps he’ll grace us with his opinion on Rick Santorum, a known practitioner of the Great Babylonian Fish Cult.

This guy should be a Democrat. A jackass suits him well

I wonder what his screen name is on the Religion forum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I wonder why this isn’t in Religion instead of News/Activism AND Front Page News.

I guess it’s a catholic thing.

Um, no, that’s not the point.
