CANONIZATION OF THE POPES


Christian Information Radio
With Host Jim Schneider


Jesus Christ Is The Sole All-Sufficient Savior
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 in due time.”
~ 1 Timothy 2:5-6

On Today’s Show (April 29, 2014): For over 30 years, Mike Gendron was a devout Roman Catholic and was taught to rely upon the authority of the church. He followed the priests, the sacraments and was depending upon his own good works for salvation. However, in 1981, after attending an apologetics seminar called, 'Evidence for the Christian Faith' the Bible became his sole authority in all matters of faith. As he searched the Scriptures he was amazed to see how often the Bible contradicts the teaching and tradition of the church he had been a part of for so long. Mike placed his trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and the Bible became his sole authority in all matters of faith. He founded a ministry, Proclaiming the Gospel, that points people to Jesus Christ as the all-sufficient Savior.

Recently, the Catholic Church canonized Popes John XXIII and John Paul II. What exactly does this mean?

Within Roman Catholicism, canonization is a decree that establishes the public veneration of an individual whose holy life makes the person worthy of God's special love. This decree is universal and obligatory for all Roman Catholics which means that members are to venerate those individuals who are now deemed as being saints by the church.

In order to qualify, a person must be deceased for 5 years and the church must find two miracles associated with the potential saint.

On this Crosstalk broadcast you'll also learn:
Why Peter can't be the first Pope.
Why the concept of popes is in violation of Scripture.
Why anyone baptized into Christ is a saint.
How we know God never instituted the papacy.

PHILIPPINES: ANGRY MOB BURNS OBAMA EFFIGY IN PROTEST AGAINST SECURITY PACT


International News in 14 Languages


Euronews (in English) April 29, 2014: “Filipino activists stage a protest near presidential palace gates and burn effigies of U.S. and Philippines presidents, denouncing a security pact that will allow more U.S. troops in the country.

Hundreds of Filipino activists protested outside the Presidential Palace gates in Manila on Monday (April 28), denoucing the visit of U.S. President Barack Obama.

The visit is the final leg of Obama's four-nation tour of U.S. allies in Asia, which aims to convince allies that the U.S. pivot of military and diplomatic assets to the Asia-Pacific region is real.

Protesters chanted nationalists slogans and burned effigies of Aquino and Obama, showing their dissatisfaction on a recent defence pact that will allow for increased use of Philippine bases by U.S. ships, aircraft and troops.

Before Obama arrived, the United States and the Philippines signed a new security agreement aimed at establishing greater stability in the region.

The accord allows for enhanced "rotational presence" of U.S. forces in the country. It will allow U.S. forces to train and conduct exercises with Philippine forces for maritime security, disaster assistance and humanitarian aid, White House officials told reporters at a briefing.

Obama said the new defense agreement will only allow American servicemen to rotate and train, and the U.S. does not intend to build new bases or reclaim old ones.

Protesters have strongly opposed the security pact and said it will heighten tensions in the already tumultous Asia-Pacific region which has been embattled in a gridlock over territorial claims with the growing assertiveness of China.”
