Barely three weeks ago — in fact, it was the week before we released Part 4: Was Peter the 1st Pope? — we cited former Liberty Magazine editor, Lincoln Steed, as we once again broached the issue of the Vatican’s well-known hatred of freedom of the press.
Among the questions on my mind that day:
How much time might we have before Part 4 could be deemed hate speech?
How much time might we actually have to advertise it?
Based on a brand-new Facebook release, now we know.
Meeting His Holiness
August 29, 2016: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Pope Francis meet at the Vatican.
According to the November 9th, 2021 edition of the Wall Street Journal, our ability to run ads relatively unfettered on the Facebook platform ceases on January 19th, 2022.
Lest anyone doubted why Pope Francis took the time to meet with Mr. Zuckerberg and other social media giants back in 2016, now we know.
There was a definite agenda!
However innocent Mr. Zuckerberg’s intentions might have been in that meeting, how I wish we could have shared with him, certainly before Tuesday’s announcement, both: (a) the book, The Great Controversy, and (b) the phrase used by Mrs. White on page 566 to characterize the papacy:
“… this most dangerous foe to civil and religious liberty.”
Here’s the full quote:
“Protestants have tampered with and patronized popery; they have made compromises and concessions which papists themselves are surprised to see and fail to understand. Men are closing their eyes to the real character of Romanism and the dangers to be apprehended from her supremacy. The people need to be aroused to resist the advances of this most dangerous foe to civil and religious liberty.” The Great Controversy, page 566.
A more appropriate term to describe the Vatican could hardly have been found. Had not Mrs. White’s contemporary, Pope Pius IX, in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, declared:
“The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience are a most pestilential error — a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a state.” The Great Controversy, page 564.
Q. And just what doctrines in defense of liberty of conscience do you suppose the Pope had in mind?
A. Clearly the Constitution of the United States, from which those doctrines, as spelled out in our Bill of Rights, have shone forth like a welcome beacon to the entire world.
Oh, if the leaders of this country only knew how the United States and its Constitution are hated by the Vatican! Let me give you a few reasons why I’ll probably go to my grave preaching this.
Yea, let me show you (from their own writings), what the Vatican really believes, and where they really stand.
THE SYLLABUS OF ERRORS
Consider the following, please, penned by President Lincoln’s contemporary, the same Pope Pius IX quoted above.
It’s December 8th, 1864, and the Pope is delivering his now infamous Syllabus of Errors. In it he’s about to condemn 80 errors, among them, #15, #24, #55.
#15: It is an error to say: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.”
#24: It is an error to say: “The Church has not the power of using force, nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect.”
#55 It is an error to say: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church."
Did you get that?
You have not the right to choose your religion for yourself. That declaration is etched in stone and should tell you all you need to know about Roman Catholicism. But wait, there’s more.
Here’s another gem from The Great Controversy.
“The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O'Connor: ‘Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world.’... The archbishop of St. Louis once said: ‘Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes.’ The Great Controversy, page 565.
Left to the leaders of this horribly bloodstained institution, untold millions would be put in jail — or worse — if they failed to adhere to the Catholic faith.
Remember, I didn’t write this.
This is the voice of the church of Rome speaking!
Armed with this history (and justifiably suspicious of the Pope having invited Mr. Zuckerberg to the Vatican), Tuesday’s Facebook announcement shouldn’t have come as any surprise.
In fact, here’s a little snippet from something I’d penned way, way back, 5 years before their meeting.
“The consummate teacher, God preceded the Reformation with the technological advances required to set it into orbit. I believe He’s doing the same again — this time with the internet. Trouble is, Rome sees it too. Friend, to block literature and speech inimical to her interests, a far-seeing Vatican has to find some way around the First Amendment, which reads:
‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.’” From the as-yet-unpublished book: Outcast.
Friend, after many, many efforts at circumventing or emasculating our First Amendment, I believe the Vatican has finally found the best temporary fix .
She’s done it by introducing into American law a concept that doesn’t exist in the Constitution — i.e., hate speech!
Back in 1916 she’d tried it with the Gallivan Bill, about which we read:
“On March 27th, 1916, Roman Catholic Representative James A. Gallivan of Boston, introduced the following: ‘Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that the Postmaster General shall make the necessary rules and regulations to exclude from the mails those publications, the avowed and deliberate purpose of which is to attack a recognized religion, held by the citizens of the United States or any religious order to which citizens of the United States belong.”
In January, 1915, Representatives Fitzgerald and Gallivan had each introduced a Bill substantially identical with the Fitzgerald Bill hereinbefore set out. At the hearing on those Bills before the House committee on the Post Office and Post Roads, Roman Catholic Representative James P. Maher, of Greater New York, stated frankly that the Bills had been introduced to shield sixteen million Roman Catholics and twenty thousand Roman Catholic priests from public criticism, by excluding ‘The Menace,’ the ‘Yellow Jacket’ and similar publications from the mails.” The Suppressed Truth About the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Burke McCarty, page 243,
Q. What do these things teach us?
A. That the arguments about race, sexual orientation and politics are pure shams. What the Vatican wants to do is curb religious speech!
She’s deathly afraid of her history being resurrected — deathly afraid of truths like the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre, the Gunpowder Plot, and the Lincoln Assassination coming to light.
That’s why she approached Mr. Zuckerberg. I’d lay my life on it!
If she can have laws passed that not just censure, but forbid speech that might cause “emotional pain” to persons on the basis of their race, sexual orientation, or religion, then she’s gained the day, at least until a full-blown constitutional convention, a 2nd Philadelphia, can be called, at which time Madison, Jefferson, Washington, Adams and our First Amendment will, with appropriate Roman zeal, be thrown on the trash heap of history … for good!
Which brings me to today’s dilemma.
TO PUBLISH OR NOT
It’s one thing to produce good video; it’s quite another to get it viewed.
Part 4 might indeed be “inspiring,” “top-notch,” “a cut above,” and all that, but without advertising, it’s views will be mediocre, at best.
Last week we designed an internet ad to correct that. This is an ad that I believe will draw thousands, an ad that you could sponsor to every home in which a computer or smart phone may be found — whether that home be in Israel, or your own zip code — but several agonizing questions now face us.
Do we really want to run this ad now, when running it could draw undue attention to Part 4, which then could jeopardize the production of the rest of this vitally important 15-part series?
On the other hand, what about the Jews and Moslems to whom we’d dedicated this series? How many stand to go to their graves — unwarned — if we don’t advertise until every “i” is dotted, every “t” crossed, and all 15 parts of our series are finished? Friend, completing this series could take us another two years!
And then, what about our safety? If Part 4 is as volatile, yea, as fraught with repercussions as I believe it will be, doesn’t it stand to reason that we’ll be walking around with a giant bull’s-eye painted on our backs if the advertising works, and we start getting views in the hundreds of thousands, or better?
Q. What would you do?
A. What I know is that today I feel the need for much more prayer.
Yesterday at 1:30 p.m., I had the first of several seasons of prayer with a friend of the Ministry, but I’d like to open up similar seasons of supplication to all who wish us (and the Lord’s work), well.
To do that collectively, we’ll no doubt have to schedule a ZOOM event or something like that, so please give us a little time to work on the details.
This is all so sudden, so new to me.
Stay tuned, please, as we work on this.
God bless you, my friend.
P.S. Does anyone reading this know how to get this newsletter into Mr. Zuckerberg’s hands? Oh, how I’d like him to see Part 4 (and the ad that promotes it). I believe he’d realize the extent to which he’s been conned, and reverse Facebook’s decision in a heartbeat.
