Hello Steve,

SA>* Moved (from: POLITICS) by Steve Asher using timEd/2 1.10.y2k+.

SA>Mulling over LEE LOFASO to STEVE ASHER 22 Apr 2003

SA>Hi Lee...

>SA>You are quite welcome to discuss this & other issues in
>SA>CONSPRCY, if you wish.

>LL>Sounds good.  I'll do that.  Others are also welcome to chime in.

SA>Here's one to start with, along the lines of your post in Politics.
SA>"Bush's 'Christian' Blood Cult".

SA>Just an extract, the full article is posted in here.

Thanks.

SA>======================================================================
SA>Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs, and his
SA>constant references to "evil doers," in the eyes of many
devout Catholic
SA>leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of
SA>Revelations - the anti- Christ.

Most Catholics do not follow the same logic, since "dispensationalism"
is a Protestant concept.

SA>People close to the Pope claim that amid these concerns, the Pontiff
SA>wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the possibility
SA>that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations. John
SA>Paul II has always believed the world was on the precipice of the final
SA>confrontation between Good and Evil as foretold in the New Testament.

In terms of Catholic theology, there have been many "antichrists", as
there will continue to be in times future.  However, St. Augustine did
write about an Antichrist - something few Catholic theologians like to
highlight.

SA>Before he became Pope, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla said, "We are now standing
SA>in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone
SA>through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide
SA>circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing
SA>the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the
SA>Gospel versus the anti- Gospel."

John Paul II has used terms such as the "culture of life" versus the
"culture of death" as a means of highlighting gospel values and what the
Church stands for.

SA>The Pope, who grew up facing the evils of Hitler and Stalin, knows evil
SA>when he sees it. Although we can all endlessly argue over the Pope's
SA>effectiveness in curtailing abuses within his Church, his accomplishments
SA>external to Catholicism are impressive.

True.  JP is not perfect by any means, but has reached out to
non-Catholics and non-Christians, hoping to help make the world
a better place for all.

SA>======================================================================

SA>Personally, while I have some suspicions that Bush might prove to be
SA>the Beast, I also suspect that he is being "set up" to take the rap
SA>for someone even more sinister, such as the [permanent] President of
SA>Europe when that position is created.

There are actually *two* Beasts depicted in Revelation - an Earth Beast
and a Sea Beast.  Maybe Bush is one Beast and Blair the other Beast?
