As a minister of the gospel, I do not join politicians, apostate religious figures and members of the media in welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to our beloved country. I hold the pope to be no friend of the true gospel or true church of Jesus Christ. For that matter, he is no friend to the millions of Roman Catholics deceived and held in bondage by the papacy's blasphemous and idolatrous dogmas and rituals (http://www.pccmonroe.org/Ecumenism/urgent.htm).
Furthermore, the papacy has been no friend to America. Rather, from the beginning of our history, the popes have stood opposed to our republican form of government as well as our political institutions, economic policies, and system of jurisprudence which were all firmly founded upon principles set forth in the Scriptures and faithfully carried into law by our Protestant forefathers.
Since the settling of our country until this day, the popes often have sided with America's enemies (http://www.sermonaudio.com/go/401). Also, several popes, including this one, and their bishops in America and Mexico have labored mightily against a secure border policy for America and have actively assisted the illegal-immigrant invasion of our country from Mexico (http://www.pccmonroe.org/Ecumenism/romanizingamerica.htm). We could go on to list example after example in order to document the pope's contempt for the sovereignty, security and identity of our nation. As the president of our nation bows and scrapes before that tiara-wearing religious dictator who literally sits on a throne and claims to be infallible, I cannot help but remember that the rallying cry of our War for Independence was "No King but King Jesus."
My hope and prayer is that the Lord will yet save many Roman Catholic people by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ Jesus alone, bringing them out of the Roman Catholic Church and into the Kingdom of God (http://www.pccmonroe.org/Evangelism/gospel.htm). And may the Lord save the United States of America from the corrupting, enslaving darkness of popery.
