: When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seeks to demolish Chinese Catholic churches, Vatican silence echoes. When the CCP goes on a crusade to destroy crucifixes and holy statues in systemic eradication of the faith, Vatican silence echoes. When the CCP prohibits Chinese children under the age of 18 from practicing religion, global human rights groups react, but Vatican silence echoes. more here
“…When the CCP goes on a crusade to destroy crucifixes and holy statues in systemic eradication of the faith…”
…they can eradicate SYMBOLS, but they can NEVER eradicate FAITH.
Many have tried.
None have succeeded.
And none ever WILL.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1
“11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,”
Ephesians 3:11-17
“38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39
…Faith is imperishable. No man can destroy it, or take it from you.
You can only lay it down yourself.
They can triumph for a short while on Earth…
…but they will lose in the end…and their master, the devil, KNOWS it…
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
Revelation 12:12
…commies have been at it a LONG while in China, and they’re STILL not winning…check out “China Cry” from 1990 for just ONE for instance…

Beyond sad.
Hey, I put a comment but it’s lost in moderation. No cussing or nothing sacrilegious, either, and not even that long (for me). iOTW guys, can you do a fave here and tell us what the rules are, if new rules we have?
Thanks…
…glad to see you here, @PJ, taking that as a sign that the Lord is moving for you, and still praying He keeps moving for you. Can’t pray in my church, tho, everyone (more or less) has COVID including the Pastor, so pray for us too…
God Bless,

I wonder if the price is right will the Pope/Church provide cover for the anti-Christ? Asking for a friend.
Not surprising that this pope is in lock step with communism.
The Cardinals really picked a doozy.
Commie first, Christian second.
@DavidW
You mean they haven’t been?
Oh my. You mean the boy-raping CULT that has the make-it-up-as-you-go-along religion is silent in the face of evil?
Raise your hand if you’re shocked.
@SNS
Prayers for you and your church. Stay well riend.
@SNS ~ happened to me too a few nights in a row … cleaned out my browsing history, re-booted, cleaned out history again, rebooted & all was well
MJA said my posts (& it was intermittent) got put in the Trash …. where most of my posts should probably go 😜
I thought Microsoft already bought the Church??
