According to the Roman Catholic Church, a Roman Catholic priest supposedly has the authority and the power to conjure up the presence of the Creator of the universe from a wafer. In order to be a Roman Catholic, the church requires members to accept this belief and be obedient to it. There are no exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>While it is true that during the Reformation and Counter Reformation, many who refused to believe in the presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist died or were tortured for their disbelief, time has a way of allowing the facts of history to be forgotten. It is also a fact there are even practicing Roman Catholics today who do not abide by the Church&#8217;s proclaimed standard that they must believe the consecrated wafer is God and not just a symbol of remembrance.<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, was one of the major reasons for the &#8220;New Evangelization&#8221; program implemented by Pope John Paul II during his time of leadership. In April of 2003, the pope wrote an encyclical promoting the &#8220;New Evangelization&#8221; program for the purpose of &#8220;rekindling amazement&#8221; focussing on the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. From that point on, I have been following the Roman Catholic agenda to win the world to the Roman Catholic Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is apparent that many evangelical &#8220;Protestant&#8221; Christians are not aware of this agenda. Nor do they recognize that the Roman Catholic Jesus is a Jesus that requires a human priest to manifest his presence and offer each mass as an &#8220;unbloody sacrifice.&#8221; The Roman Catholic Eucharistic Jesus is not the same Jesus, who said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153it is finished\u00e2\u20ac when He died upon the cross at Calvary. <strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Read all of this article.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Roger Oakland The Roman&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[6,280,630,787,821,956,957,958],"class_list":["post-2629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-road-to-rome","tag-roger-oakland","tag-eucharist","tag-reformation","tag-eucharistic-christ","tag-mass","tag-roman-catholic","tag-transubstantiation","tag-counter-reformation","wpcat-89-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
