The report below comes from the “Irish News” of 14th November, 2022.

I can but imagine the heartache felt by many Roman Catholics as yet another exposure of the vile perversions that have been repeatedly revealed in the press over the last few decades, occurring yet again!

Bible believers have little understanding of the unscriptural reverence and awe in which priests are held by devoted Romanists. It is the equivalent of the devotion of the heathen idolators for their spiritual ‘gurus’!

Therefore, when such reports as these appear it shatters and destroys the faith of many in the system of religion in which they have been raised.

Sadly, it does not cause an intelligent consideration of their religious beliefs, which have failed them, in the light of God’s Word. If it did, then it would result in steps being taken similar to those taken by those Roman Catholics in Europe in the 16th century when the truth about their religion was presented to them.

Back then hundreds of thousands, peasants and princes, had their eyes opened and obeying the light which streamed from the Word of God, they repudiated the false claims of Rome, saw it as a system of antichristianity and forsook it and banded themselves together in accordance with the structures and ordinances set forth in the Bible. Sadly today, the general reaction by the many ‘scunnered’ by such reports is to turn against God and everything related to Him.

To escape the horror of the false religion they trusted, they  mindlessly plunge into the dark sea of blaming God and spurning the truth of His mercy set forth in the Bible.! (more…)

Here is an article found on the RTE news site. The article is entitled: ‘Take them out and shoot them’ – Irish State executions.’

As most will know, ‘Raidió Teilifís Éireann’ is the national broadcaster of the Republic of Ireland. Ulster Protestants have no reason for loving this organisation since it has been the voice of a State which in one form or another and to one degree or another, throughout its existence has waged war on our Protestant heritage here in Northern Ireland.

It began broadcasting in 1926 from its Dublin base. It has been the voice of the Dublin governments and it has reiterated their claims of jurisdiction over all of Ireland, to the vexation of the British citizens of Northern Ireland.

I have often read the historical articles mounted on its site, ever bearing in mind the bias that they would naturally contain. I did so for I have a love of Irish history, indeed the people of Ireland, believing that the national religion of the Republic’s twenty six counties, Roman Catholicism, is a usurper of the truth of God which came to this island in the days, and before even that, of Patrick.

Without a shadow of doubt, the message of Patrick was essentially that of the apostles, with the exception of some errors, which were the beginnings of the darkness which resulted in the rise of Popery, which had crept into the faith and practice of 5th century Christianity.

I have given a full account of Patrick’s own testimony, or ‘Confession’, which may be seen in a series of articles under the title, ‘The Bible in Ireland’ 

Because of this, I read with interest the aforementioned RTE article of events in 1922 during the civil war which had resulted from the acceptance, in December 1921, of the terms of peace between the government of the United Kingdom and the Irish Republican Army, the IRA. The peace agreement was called ‘The Anglo-Irish Treaty’. (more…)
