JOHN HAGEE: “THANK YOU, POPE BENEDICT”


In this piece in The Washington Times article referenced below Apprising Ministries points out that we can see Word Faith prosperity preacher John Hagee attempting a little spin control after being criticized over his views of apostate Roman Catholicism:

During his recent visit to the United States, Pope Benedict XVI not only conducted mass and met with the Catholic faithful, but he made a series of public statements about the role that our Judeo-Christian faith can play during these challenging times. As an evangelical Protestant I happen to disagree with Pope Benedict on many issues of Christian doctrine and ritual. But when it comes to his moral vision for America and the world I have one thing to say in response to the Pope’s visit: Amen…

My reaction to Pope Benedict”s visit may surprise some who have come to accept certain caricatures of my views of the Catholic Church. But as I have noted from the start, my critics have ignored the real point and strong emphasis of my words. I have indeed been quite zealous about condemning the past anti-Semitism of the Catholic Church. But I have been equally zealous in condemning Protestant anti-Semitism. Furthermore, as I noted in my 2006 book “Jerusalem Countdown,” I have long viewed Pope John Paul II and now Pope Benedict XVI as partners in this “righteous work” of overcoming our shared legacy of Christian anti-Semitism… (Online source)

O please tell me that Hagee playing the anti-Semitism card here is a joke. This from a man who helps raise funds for Totally  Blasphemy Network and calls himself  “evangelical leader.” And how much more anti-Jewish can you be than to deny them their Savior, John Hagee Denies That Christ (means Messiah) Jesus Is The…Messiah! 

And as far as Joseph Ratzinger is concerned; if he will not repent of his blasphemous and insolent usurping of the title Vicar of Christ, which belongs exclusively to God the Holy Spirit, then I for one hope the Lord sends him and his Roman Catholic front for the Kingdom of God back to Hell where it belongs — Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD?  And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? (Psalm 139:21)
