The Roman Catholic Church (RCC), under the direction of the Vatican, will be the entity that will facilitate the great falling away (II Thessalonians 1:3) from the faith that will occur during the last years of the church age.
Jesus warned us to watch out for deceivers who come in his name and claim, “I am the Christ,” and will deceive many. The pope, or ‘Vicar of Christ,’ is thought among Roman Catholics to act in the person and place of Jesus Christ to shepherd the church.
He is thought to be infallible (an adjective that can only be ascribed to Jesus) by the fallen when he speaks ‘ex cathedra.’
When Jesus allegedly handed Peter (Matthew 16:19) the keys to the kingdom of heaven, these keys were supposedly passed on to the various popes throughout history. Pope Leo now fantasizes that he has these keys and whatever he binds on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever he lets loose on Earth will be loosed in heaven.
Unfortunately, the ‘keys’ to heaven is the proclamation of the Gospel, and the Pope has never taken possession of them.
He, just like all popes before him, is ‘keyless.’
The Pope has much more in common with Peter when he rebuked Jesus after he informed his disciples that he would be crucified and rise again on the third day. The notion that the Christ was going to die for our sins was anathema to Peter as it is to the popes. The idea that merely believing the Gospel is sufficient for salvation was violently resisted by Roman Catholicism for approximately one thousand years.
We are saved by Grace through faith, not by works, and the Gospel runs afoul of the ‘holy convocations’ of the RCC (see Council of Trent).
Jesus rebuked Peter, and all popery, when he said, “Out of my sight, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God but the things of men! (Matthew 16:23).
We are in the last days of the church age, where the RCC and many of our Protestant churches have in mind the things of men rather than the things of God. It is theorized by many that a future pope will attempt to extinguish the light of the Gospel, that Christ died for our sins, and replace it with the Romish ‘all faiths lead to God’ apostasy.
All faiths lead to God, that is, except for the Christian faith.
According to Lifesite News in an article by Gaetano Masciullo (dated Oct 7, 2026), we find that Pope Leo will travel to Assisi to continue a tradition of “interreligious prayer” that was first launched by Pope John Paul II in 1986. This event will bring together 384 representatives of religions, cultures, and institutions from 53 countries.
The world’s religions come together every year in Assisi around this time to blaspheme the Lord and his holy Son to lead the world away from Christ.
Pope Leo XIV will preside over the “Christian prayer service,” whatever that means, and deliver the concluding address in the square in front of St. Francis Basilica. One thing we can all be certain of is that the Gospel will not be heard by the pagan minions that will attend this event.
According to the article, “Marco Impagliazzo, president of the Community of Sant’ Egidio, quoting the historian Alberto Melloni, stated that Assisi interreligious gatherings represent “a turning point in contemporary Catholicism’s attitude towards other religions, and a turning point in the vision that non-Christian religions have of Christianity.”
Apparently ‘turning point’ is a euphemism for ‘falling away.’
These heathen will separate into 13 venues for simultaneous prayers to avoid the appearance of “religious syncretism.” The attempt to avoid this appearance is doomed to failure because the whole event is about “religious syncretism.”
After this heresy, all the heathen come together, sing Kumbaya, and sign and proclaim a joint message of peace to the world. This message will be ignored by the Lord because the Prince of Peace was not invited to this event.
The author of this article writes further, “On September 28, during the Pope’s apostolic journey through France, together with other representatives of religions, Korsia signed the Metz Appeal in the presence of Leo XIV, a document that echoes the “Spirit of Assisi” and once again proposes all religions as necessary instruments for “disarming” the world.”
There is so much wrong with this paragraph that I will need to bullet point each outrage:
- There is no such thing as an “apostolic journey” with representatives of other religions in the Christian faith.
- The “Spirit of Assisi” is a demon who hates Christ.
- There are two possibilities regarding what is meant by “disarming” the world. They either intend to remove our need to keep and bear arms so we cannot defend ourselves against these monsters, or they intend to disarm us of our Bibles. It’s probably both.
There are 24 scheduled forums that cover a broad range of issues that have absolutely nothing to do with the Christian faith. These are:
- Disarmament: to ensure that the world is helpless before the tyrants, who won’t be disarmed, that the evil Globalists support.
- Climate Change: which is a Globalist hoax designed to visit tyranny upon the world.
- Migration: Because the Vatican’s Globalist masters love the evils of sex trafficking, violent crime perpetrated by third world savages, and the empowering of criminal cartels that terrorize the West so its people will submit to tyranny.
These forums will feature representatives of major secular and globalist organizations, including the Gates Foundation, so we know this event is totally on the level. These people have nothing but our best interests in mind and in no way consider us disposable (please read this paragraph with as much derision as you can muster).
The Vatican is no longer even trying to hide just what a demonic organization it is.
As if all this were not bad enough, the writer of this article continues:
“The theme of the spiritual unification of the world is something that is truly important … to infuse a discourse on universal fraternity, Fratelli tutti, into different cultural and religious contexts,” Impagliazzo stated.

According to Impagliazzo, the “spiritual unification” of the world is necessary to counter the resurgence of nationalism, which he says is undermining the multilateralism promoted by international bodies such as the United Nations and the European Union. Religions, on his account, can serve as useful instruments in the hands of these institutions for reaffirming their vision of the world.”
I will have to ‘bullet point’ again:
- “The spiritual unification of the world?” Are you kidding?!
- “Infuse discourse on universal fraternity?” What kind of threats and physical force will this ‘infusion’ require?
- We need spiritual unification to counter the resurgence of ‘nationalism?!’ What exactly is wrong with patriotism?
- Why shouldn’t we resist the ‘multilateralism’ of corrupt entities like the UN and the European Union? These tyrants clearly hate us.
- Why would anyone want to affirm their vision of the world? Their vision of the world is a one-world religion, economy, and government which is Satanic. Anyone ever read about Babylon?
There were a few Roman Catholics who stood up against this interreligious wickedness when Pope John Paul first instituted it, and even fewer did so for this event.
I wonder what happened to them.
If we understand Bible prophecy accurately, the Great Apostasy will unfold like this:
- All religions are proclaimed to lead to God except the Christian faith because these social justice freaks believe we are racists, Islamophobes, and homophobes.
- Islam and Roman Catholicism become the dominant religions and form a shaky alliance to persecute and stamp out the true faith (Look for this to be in full force by 2030).
- Islam is destroyed at the Ezekiel invasion of Israel (Likely the summer of 2033), before the Tribulation kicks in. Islam is not the vehicle of deception of the last days because the Antichrist is not going to submit to a made-up god (Allah) who is so unloving that he disowned his three daughters.
- After the Muslim hoard that invades Israel is destroyed by God, Roman Catholicism becomes the dominant religion until Mid-tribulation when the Antichrist disposes of ‘religious Babylon (Revelation 17:16-17).’
- The Antichrist opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called God (including Allah for those who think the Antichrist might be Muslim) or is worshipped, and even sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God (II Thessalonians 2:4).
Obviously, those of us who believe and confess the Gospel will soon become ‘outsiders’ who are not welcome in society. It is not possible for pagans to ‘syncretize’ with people of faith who believe and confess that Christ died for our sins.
The Church will see (1) and (2) above but will be removed at the rapture before (3) (theoretically speaking, of course).
The church will not be here for the 47th meeting of these heathen (Note: this year’s meeting is the 40th).
If the Church has an expiration date ordained after 2,000 years, which is almost upon us, our persecution should be short. However, given the fact that most of our Protestant churches preach Osteen-esque ‘life tips from Jesus on how to prosper’ sermons, the ability of many of them to stand firm in the face of evil is in question.
Also, the Godless Democrats’ overwhelming victory in the mid-term election, including two new false teachers of God’s word having been rewarded with Senate seats, means that the time of Christian persecution in America is on the horizon.
Especially for those of us who believe in a future for the nation of Israel.
The resulting chaos of the Godless decision to place the most evil and destructive people in power reveals that most Americans have been abandoned by God. They have been turned over to a reprobate mind. Excellent conservative political commentators have attempted a postmortem on this election, but they all leave out the main deciding factor.
That deciding factor is that God determines who wins elections, and He just gave us extremely wicked leadership to test His people. God makes this decision based on the quality of a nation’s faith and its love or hatred for the nation of Israel (despite its many faults).
If a people hate the nation of Israel, God will send Muslims to infect their nation.
The prime directive of the church is to call sinners to repent and be forgiven in the name of Jesus (Luke 24:47). It ain’t gettin’ done.
As societal chaos ensues based on the nation’s own imprudent decisions and poor spiritual condition, many will be foolishly driven into the arms of Rome to achieve a false sense of security.
We have possibly two years to prepare for worldwide censorship and a testing of the true people of God. The U.S. Protestant Church is weak and decadent, much like those in Europe, and God is preparing to purify those who are left and bring us home.
Those who stand firm on the Gospel will be saved.
