Pope's Goal is Reclaiming Christian Identity, Vatican Official Says
According to Catholic News Service, the first two years of Pope Benedict XVI's pontificate have been focused on strengthening Christian values in a world disoriented by indifference, relativism and increasing secularism.
Vatican secretary of state Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone said Pope Benedict's overall goal is to reclaim the authentic Christian identity.
At the same time, Cardinal Bertone said, Pope Benedict recognizes that faith needs to be explained in a way that appeals to human intelligence, so he has brought experts in the fields of science, philosophy and theology in for dialogue.
Renewing identity also means trying to change the indifference of wealthy nations toward Third World nations suffering from poverty.
====================================================================================
I've long been praying for the right time & way to encourage evangelical boldness in the unique opportunities of this oft-prophesied climax generation of all history: the Bible says, 366 times, "Fear not!"
Let's challenge the pope & all RCs to face squarely up to the challenge of so much apostacy in the RC catechism that needs rejecting & correcting to 'reclaim Christian identity'
& to face the prophecies that Antichrist takes power thru demonic deception - as in Daniel 11 & 1 Timothy 4 etc - to establish the worst global tyranny ever, for the time such as there has never been before, nor will be again.. in this generation that is to be 'cut short..otherwise no-one would be left alive'
Many threads, @ the crystal clear Bible prophecies fulfilled, or plainly in process since 1948, are linked from this thread, as more prophecies have been fulfilled in this clear build-up to 'the consummation of all things' than at any other time in history:-

Many threads, @ the various facets of RC error, etc, are humourously linked here:-

Why the humour?
Because we are to 'love the sinner, but hate the sin'
Because 'we wrestle not against flesh & blood, but against principalities, against powers. against spiritual wickedness in high places'
Though Matthew 24 details how all kinds of natural, social & spiritual disasters accelerate & intensify, it is to bring on the Great Delivery
That's why, despite unprecedented levels of wars, famines, eathquakes, epidemics, crime, perversion, falling away from the faith, false prophets/teachers/christs/messiahs etc etc, Christ could say, "When you see all these things, don't be afraid...don't be alarmed..trust in God.. trust in Me"
Yes, as a Pastor MC pal just said, "No-one knows the day or the hour"
But Christ & the OT prophets chose to pinpoint this 'fig tree' generation
My Bible College grad mom always told me that, having been born the year Israel fulfilled the famous prophecy of 'a nation born in one day', I won't get to 70 on Earth, but will 'see the Lord face to face'
1948 was also the year that saw the Daniel 7 prophecy of revived Roman Empire - to crush, devour & trample victims' till t'he Ancient of Days crushes it' - begin to be fulfilled as the then-EEC's founding father, Monet, hailed it as a revived Roman Empire
Yes, we have all the techno for the Global Big Brother of Revelation 13 & 2 Thessalonians 2 etc
Yes, we have all the techno for Armageddon as in Joel 3, Zechariah 14 & Revelation 16-19 etc
But we have Jesus' firm promise of instant airlift Rapture rescue - as in Matt 24:30-42 & 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 & 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11
For all who repent of sin, ask His forgiveness & invite Him to live in their heart as Saviour & Lord, as in John 3, Romans 3 etc
Have you?
Don't delay: make sure your family & friends know @ it too, OK?
Must go - did you hear my '3:23 special' after the 6pm news @ http://www.flamefmwirral.org.uk @ 87.7FM just now?
