Catholicism's Inside Story Revealed By Fifty Converted Priests "It has been a great joy and a sadness to read this book. A joy because we have here, in every chapter, a reminder of what is real Christianity. I believe that the words found in these pages will be used of God to His glory because they are not the words of those seeking to advance themselves. They are simply the testimonies of men whose controlling desire has been to honor Christ and His Word. A Christian is a poor redeemed sinner for whom Christ has given everything. May this book be used to increase this testimony in all the world!" (Lain Murray in the Foreward) "I took the Holy Scriptures and began to search, but...Where is the infallibility of the Pope?...Where is all that about Eucharistic fasting...and the Mass? Where is it all? I could not find it. The more I studied the more I came to see that Christianity is one thing and Roman Catholicism is another, completely distinct. The more I searched the Scriptures the more convinced I became of this truth. As Catholic priests we were sincere, devout, and dedicated to the Roman Church. What the Bible has to say about "priesthood", compared to how we ourselves understood the "priesthood" will be come crystal clear as you read these personal testimonies of men who have experienced both the false and the true priesthood, the priesthood of every believer in the once for all sacrifice of Christ Jesus. I warmly encourage you to read about the Lord's grace in each life, for that is the heart beat of this book" (Richard Bennett, now serving Christ as a converted priest). "My studies in the Scriptures showed me that there is no true authority for doctrines such as the immaculate conception or the bodily Assumption of Mary into Heaven. The Roman Catholic Church has in recent years been yielding to the popular craze, fostered greatly by the so-called appearances at Lourdes and Fatima, which make Mary more and more into a supreme goddess, ruling heaven and earth. Many Roman bishops and self-styled Marian theologians are hoping to promote the doctrine that Mary redeemed the world and this in spire of St. Paul's declaration "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified to in due time" (I Timothy 2:5-6) (Charles A Bolton, now serving Christ as a converted priest). "Some evangelicals today think that times have changed, that is now possible to hold a dialogue and to collaborate with the Roman Catholic church in order to achieve Christian unity. This is a deception of Satan. The doctrines of this ecclesiastical organization have in no way changed. In fact they are now adding new errors to the old ones. In particular they are working towards bringing in all the other religions which will soon end up by establishing Babylon the Great, as the 17th chapter or Revelation" (Salvatore Gargiulo, a born-again priest now serving Christ).

Mother-Child Worship * Where did this Roman Catholic practice originate? Rome wants you to believe it came from Christ and the Bible. But this book, first published nearly one hundred years ago, proves that Mother-Child worship began with ancient pagan Babylonian religion. In this timeless classic, you will learn that many Roman Catholic beliefs and practices share the same pagan origin. This historically-accurate book reveals the pagan origins of many key Roman Catholic doctrines like: * The Mass * The Confessional * The Wafer (Eucharist) * Clothing & Crowning Images * Purgatory * Priests, Monks and Nuns * The Sovereign Pontiff * Relic Worship * Prayers for the Dead * Worship of the Sacred Heart * The Rosary * Extreme Unction * The Sign of the Cross * Plus much more! If you choose to ignore the facts so you can be politically correct, then don't read this book. But if you want the truth about how Catholicism adopted pagan practices and gave them Christian names (while keeping the pagan rituals and trappings), then this is a must reading. Learn More

In all the confusion of the contemporary religious scene, one Church claims to abide changeless in her message and authority. From the first, and through the ages, she claims to stand by one faith. Thus, with Louis XVI, multitudes have seen her as the sure way to paradise: "I die", said the French king, "in union with our Holy mother, the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman church which holds its powers uninterrupted from St. Peter". "I believe in what the Catholic Church holds and teaches," declared the Duchess of Kent on her recent conversion. But, asks William Webster, is this true? And he answers the question not by debating texts of Scripture but by a straight appeal to the very area where the Church of Rome believes her case is strongest, the facts of history. He shows that much which Roman Catholicism now claims as part of her changeless creed was both unknown to the Church Fathers of the early centuries and directly contrary to what they did teach. This very disturbing book is no dry account of minor differences, not is it a harsh polemic. The author writes with heart-felt interest in the welfare of the men and women who are now in a position which was once his own. Learn More
