Myths About the Papacy
[Matthew 24:4-5]
The M+G+R Foundation [1] commissioned this document from Lee Penn, a Christian journalist and the author of False Dawn [2] (an expose of the present-day movements for one-world religion and one-world government). miguel de Portugal [3] vouches for this document, which brings into sharp focus one of the central messages that miguel de Portugal must convey to all - believers and non-believers alike:
With this report, we intend to call the world's attention to a long-standing, commonly accepted error in many Catholics' thinking: The idolization of the Pope and the Papacy.
We show here that Popes can sin, sometimes gravely. We also show that serious errors in Catholic teaching and practice - errors committed under Papal authority - can occur, and can persist for centuries.
Our intent is to warn against making idols of the Popes and of the Hierarchy. The objective of
this report is not to make an argument against
the Catholic Faith itself, or to claim that all Popes have been evil.
On the contrary: this report is
an effort to uphold the true Catholic Faith and
the salutary teachings of many Popes.
Why Lee Penn was chosen to prepare this document?
The M+G+R Foundation chose Lee Penn to write this article for three reasons:
2. His ability to transmit complex concepts in clear and understandable language; and
3. Because he presents, without compromise and with objectivity, all references used to illustrate and prove his thesis.
Lee Penn is a member of the Russian Catholic Church, an Orthodox Church in communion with Rome.
