For those who believe that Roman Catholicism has changed and is no longer Roman Catholicism, this article should put that myth to rest. What is important here is that according to the pope, there is no unity with Rome unless the &#8220;separated brethren&#8221; come home to Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Further, note the pope&#8217;s emphasis on &#8220;perpetual Eucharistic adoration&#8221; as part of his new &#8220;apostolic exhortation.&#8221; As more and more of the faithful spend time in &#8220;adoring&#8221; the &#8220;Roman Catholic Eucharistic Christ&#8221; that is &#8220;present&#8221; in the host (following transubstantiation) and contained in the monstrance and placed on display, there will be more and more false appearances of Jesus, as the Jesus of the Bible warned would happen in the last days (Matthew 24: 23-24, 26). This is when the &#8220;New Evangelization Program&#8221; becomes very effective.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20071009015255\/http:\/\/www.understandthetimes.org\/alerts\/mar1407.shtml\">Click here to read this entire article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Understand the Times with&#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":[],"class_list":["post-3265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-road-to-rome","wpcat-89-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Pope: Waiting for the &quot;Separated Brethren&quot;
