I am posting this question hopefully such that Catholics can open their eyes to the truth of our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. I will only present facts, and would appreciate your opinion on this.
What is blasphemy? The bible attributes 2 definitions:
1.John 10:33 “…but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” – Claim to be God or His representative.
2.Mark 2:7 “Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?” – Granting absolution (the power to forgive sin)
Now, let’s look at some factual historical quotes:
“We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty” – Pope Leo XIII, in an Encyclical letter, dated June 20, 1894.
“It seems that Pope John Paul II now presides over the universal Church from his place upon Christ’s cross.” – Auckland, New Zealand, Sept 20, 2004, Zenit.org.
“The judicial authority will even include the power to forgive sin.” The catholic encyclopedia Vol.12, Article “Pope”, p265.
Is it clear from the above quotes that Catholics are blaspheming against God? No wonder the beast of Revelations has the “name of blasphemy” and speaks “blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name”; this is because the beast claims powers that are the sole prerogative of God.
