The Gospel According to The Church of Rome: The Curse of A Different Gospel

The special guest for this broadcast is James G. McCarthy, founder & director of "Good News for Catholics, Inc." (website: GNFC.ORG) & author of the book, "The Gospel According to Rome: Comparing Catholic Tradition & the Word of God." James is a former Roman Catholic & is best known for directing & producing the popular video "Catholicism: Crisis of Faith."

The Catholic Church presupposes itself to be Christian. Nothing could be farther from the truth; yet, the Catholic Church has presented and promoted herself in that guise particularly since the close of the Second Vatican Council in 1965. A primary, non-negotiable goal of Vatican Council II was to lay the groundwork and to establish the rules and parameters for a multifaceted, ecumenical outreach. Evangelical Christians, now called "separated brethren", rather than "heretics",1 are the primary target of Catholic ecumenism. The goal is to draw them into the Roman Catholic fold.2 Thus, in the 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church, the word "Christian" occurs more than 100 times in these official teachings. Buzzwords such as "dialogue", "ecumenism", and "social justice" are being used under the guise of promoting true Christianity while advancing the Roman Catholic agenda.

Assurances to Evangelicals Negated:
Evangelicals are assured that Catholics who believe in the incarnation, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are true Christians, even though they misunderstand some of the "technicalities" regarding salvation. Such reasoning is negated by the fact that Catholicism differs from biblical faith—not only on minor details, but more importantly on what is essential for one's salvation.
