A recent Catholic News Agency article honors St. John Henry Newman, once called an “infiltrator” in Anglicanism but now recognized as a Doctor of the Church. But buried in Newman’s own writings lies a stunning admission about Rome’s traditions.

In An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, p. 359-360 (1846), Newman wrote:

“The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison, are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.”

This confession is not an accusation made by Protestant critics; it comes from a canonized Catholic saint. The Catholic Church has openly admitted that many of its cherished traditions and ceremonies are rooted in paganism, simply rebranded as “holy.”

The Bible warns of a corrupt religious system called “Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots” (Revelation 17:5), pointing to the Vatican, whose power has spread to “all nations.” As prophesied, this is where the man of sin sits.

God’s last call of mercy is clear:

“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Revelation 18:4)

God has made it clear that if the foundation is mingled with idolatry, no amount of “sanctifying” makes it acceptable to God. Now is the time to separate from all corrupt churches that mix truth with pagan error and to worship Him “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24).

God’s firm platform under the three angels’ message is immovable, and many honest truth seekers will stand on it. Praise the Lord, many already did!

Truth is truth!
