The Holy Bible
"Come Out Of Her My
People"
And I
heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, My
people, that ye may not partakers of her sins, that ye receive
not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached into heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as
she rewarded you, and double unto her according to her works:
In the cup which she hath filled fill to her
double.
Book of Revelation 18:4-6
And I
heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, My
people, that ye may not partakers of her sins, that ye receive
not of her plagues.
Book of Revelation 18:4
The downfall and destruction of the Vatican City are
determined and an angel comes from heaven to shed the light of
the gospel through
all nations. The wickedness of the Church "was very great;
she had forsaken the true God, and set up idols, and had drawn
all sorts of men into spiritual adultery, and by her wealth
and luxury kept them in her interest. The spiritual
merchandise, by which multitudes have wickedly lived in
wealth, by the sins and follies of mankind, seems principally
intended." 1
"The harlot is not Rome
alone (though she is pre-eminently so), but every Church that has not
Christ's mind and spirit. False Christendom, divided into very many sects,
is truly Babylon, that is, confusion. However, in all Christendom the true
Jesus-congregation, the woman clothed with the sun, lives and is hidden.
Corrupt, lifeless Christendom is the harlot, whose great aim is the
pleasure of the flesh, and which is governed by the spirit of nature and
the world." 2 The believers of Jesus Christ, not the followers of His papal
human adversary on Earth, are "called out of Babylon the harlot, as the culminating stage of
the latter's sin, when judgment is about to fall: for apostate
Christendom, Babylon, is not to be converted, but to be destroyed."
3
Fair warning is
given to all that expect mercy from God that they should leave
this Church. Before the godly are delivered in the Last
Judgment they must leave her in order "to avoid the
contamination of sin and to shun the participation of those
punishments that belong to it." This invitation is given to the
faithful of God
yet in captivity, lest by remaining they should prevent
her destruction.
"and that ye receive not of her plagues;
or punishments; the seven last plagues, which belong to her,
the vials of which will be poured out upon one or other of the
antichristian states, and the fifth particularly will fall
upon Rome, the seat of the beast, and is what is here referred
to." 3
But those who refuse and continue to partake with wicked men in their sins, must
surely receive the same fate that is due to the City on Seven
Hills.
For
her sins have reached into heaven, and God hath remembered her
iniquities.
Book of Revelation 18:5
Her sins over the
centuries have accumulated to an unbearable limit and God is
about to punish the Whore for her wantonness:
"Now, in
direct antagonism to this mystery of godliness, stands the
mystery of iniquity. Such is Romanism. Mysterious in its
origin, growth, development - mysteries in the influence it
exerts, in this mode of working, in its power of
accommodation to every variety of human circumstance, rank,
or disposition. The whole is a mystery of iniquity. It
defrauds its disciples of privileges to the free enjoyment
wherefore every man is entitled; by feigned words it makes
merchandise of men's souls. It usurps prerogatives which
belong to God only, and wields them for the oppression of
its victims.
It makes sinning
easy; and by the very instrumentality through which it
professes to impose hindrances in the way of iniquity it
makes the practice of iniquity more facile. I have no
hesitation in affirming that the more carefully you
investigate the practical working of the entire Romish
system, the more irresistible will the conclusion appear
that "mystery of iniquity" is a title to which the
Church of Rome has an undoubted claim." 4
Reward
her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her according to
her works: In the cup which she hath filled fill to her
double.
Book of Revelation 18:6
And I heard the voice
saying, "Leave this City of Sin, My people, so that you may
not be partners in sin, that you may not be diseased by her,
for her sins have reached us in His Kingdom, and God knows all
her corruption, debauchery, depravity, evil, sin, crimes,
aggressions, atrocities, immorality, wickedness, and vice.
Strip the harlot naked of her attire, of her gold, silver,
and precious stones, and make her and her territories
desolate. Destroy her even as she destroyed you, and double your efforts
according to her evilness: This empire was built over the
corpses of millions of tortured souls meeting the most
horrific of deaths at the hands of the false papal prophets
with ungodly power. Take vengeance for what
she had done to them. So destroy her with doubled
efforts."
"What is the whole papacy but a beautiful false
front and a deceptively glittering holiness under which the wretched devil lies
in hiding? The devil always desires to imitate God in this way. He cannot bear
to observe God speaking. If he cannot prevent it or hinder God’s Word by
force, he opposes it with a semblance of piety, takes the very words God had
spoken and so twist them as to peddle his lies and poison under their
name."
Martin Luther (1483-1546)
"Since the
papal church not only neglects the command of Christ but even compels the people
to ignore it and to act against it, it is certain that it is not Christ’s
church but the synagogue of Satan which prescribes sin and prohibits
righteousness. It clearly and indisputably follows that it must be the
abomination of Antichrist and the furious harlot of the devil."
Martin
Luther (1483-1546)
"The
negotiation about doctrinal agreement displeases me
altogether, for this is utterly impossible unless the pope
has his papacy abolished. Therefore avoid and flee those who
seek the middle of the road. Think of me after I am dead and
such middle-of-the-road men arise, for nothing good will
come of it. There can be no compromise."
Martin
Luther (1483-1546)
"Let him
who does not want to be lost and go to the devil be on his
guard with all diligence and earnestness against the papacy
and its doctrine, and let him never again accept even the
most insignificant and smallest part of the papacy’s
teaching, no matter what it may cost him. Let him flee from
the papacy and its following as from the devil incarnate
himself, and let him by no means be silenced by the sweet,
slippery words of hypocrites or be persuaded that yielding
and conceding something for the sake of peace is a matter of
little consequence and that the bond of love should not be
disrupted for the sake of something trifling (as they
represent and rationalize this to be). Come now, there is
assuredly no joking in this matter; eternal salvation and
eternal damnation are involved."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
"Can
anything more horrible be said than that the kingdom of the
papists is the kingdom of those who spit at Christ, the Son
of God, and crucify Him anew? For they do crucify
Christ…in themselves, in the church…and in the hearts of
the faithful…Therefore let everyone who is honestly given
to piety flee out of this Babylon as quickly as possible….
For so great are its impurity and its abomination that no
one can express them in words; they can be discerned only by
eyes that are spiritual."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
"My dear
pope, I will kiss your feet and acknowledge you as supreme
bishop if you will worship my Christ and grant that through
His death and resurrection, not through keeping your
traditions, we have forgiveness of sins and life eternal. If
you will yield on this point, I shall not take away your
crown and power; if not, I shall constantly cry out that you
are the Antichrist, and I shall testify that your whole cult
and religion are only a denial of God, but also the height
of blasphemy against God and idolatry."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
"Ah, my
dear brother in Christ, bear with me if here or elsewhere I
use such coarse language when speaking of the wretched,
confronted, atrocious monster at Rome! He who knows my
thoughts must say that I am much, much, much too lenient and
have neither words nor thought adequately to describe the
shameful, abominable blasphemy to which he subjects the Word
and name of Christ, our dear Lord and Savior. There are some
Christians, wicked Christians indeed, who now would gloss
things over to make the pope appear against in a good light
and who, after he does so and has been dragged out of the
mud, would like to reinstate him on the altar. But they are
wicked people, whoever they may be, who defend the pope and
want me to be quiet about the means whereby he has done
harm. Truly, I cannot do this. All true, pious Christians,
who love Christ and His Word, should, as said, be sincerely
hostile to the pope. They should persecute him and injure
him…. All should do this in their several calling, to the
best of their ability, with all faithfulness and
diligence."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
"The
Mass is the greatest blasphemy of God, and the highest
idolatry upon the earth, an abomination the like of which
has never been in Christendom."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
"The
Kingdom of Christ is a kingdom of mercy, grace, and
goodness. The kingdom of the Pope is a kingdom of
lies and damnation!"
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
"What kind
of a church is the pope’s church? It is an uncertain,
vacillating and tottering church. Indeed, it is a deceitful,
lying church, doubting and unbelieving, without God’s
Word. For the pope with his wrong keys teaches his church to
doubt and to be uncertain. If it is a vacillating church,
then it is not the church of faith, for the latter is
founded upon a rock, and the gates of hell cannot prevail
against it (Matt.16:18). If it is not the church of faith,
then it is not the Christian church, but it must be an
unchristian, anti-Christian, and faithless church which
destroys and ruins the real, holy, Christian
church."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
(Luther’s
Works, vol. 40, Church and Ministry II, The Keys, p.348)
"All this
is to be noted carefully, so that we can treat with contempt
the filthy, foolish twaddle that the popes present in their
decrees about their Roman church, that is, about their
devil’s synagogue (Rev.2:9), which separates itself from
common Christendom and the spiritual edifice built up on
this stone, and instead invents for itself a fleshly
worldly, worthless, lying, blasphemous, idolatrous authority
over all of Christendom. One of these two things must be
true: if the Roman church is not built on this rock along
with the other churches, then it is the devil’s church;
but if it is built, along with all the other churches, on
this roc, then it cannot be lord or head over the other
churches. For Christ the cornerstone knows nothing of two
unequal churches, but only of one church alone, just as the
Children’s Faith, that is, the faith of all of
Christendom, says, "I believe in one holy, Christian
church," and does not say, "I believe in one holy
Roman church." The Roman church is and should be one
portion or member of the holy Christian church, not the
head, which befits solely Christ the cornerstone. If not, it
is not a Christian but an UN-Christian and anti-Christian
church, that is, a papal school of scoundrels."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
(Luther’s
Works, Volume 41, Church and Ministry III, Against The Roman
Papacy, An Institution Of The Devil, p.311)
"These
arrogant and unlearned papists can’t govern the church
because they write nothing, they read nothing, but, firmly
saddled in the pride of possession, they cry out that the
decrees of the fathers are not to be questioned and
decisions made are not to be disputed, otherwise one would
have to dance to the tune of every little brother. For this
reason the pope, possessed by demons, defends his tyranny
with the canon "Si papa." This canon states
clearly: if the pope should lead the whole world into the
control of hell, he is nevertheless not to be contradicted.
It’s a terrible thing that on account of the authority of
this man we must lose our souls, which Christ redeemed with
his precious blood. Christ says, "I will not cast out
anybody who comes to me" (John 6:37). On the other
hand, the pope says, "As I will it, so I command it;
you must perish rather than resist me." Therefore the
pope, whom our princes adore, is full of devils. He must be
exterminated by the Word and by prayer."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
(Luther’s
Works, vol.54, Table Talk, No.441, p.330)
"I believe
the pope is the masked and incarnate devil because he is the
Antichrist. As Christ is God incarnate, so the Antichrist is
the devil incarnate. The words are really spoken of the pope
when it’s said that he’s a mixed god, an earthly god,
that is , a god of the earth. Here god is understood as god
of this world. Why does he call himself an earthly god, as
if the one, almighty God weren’t also on the earth? The
kingdom of the pope really signifies the terrible wrath of
God, namely, the abomination of desolation standing in the
holy place."
Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
(Luther’s
Works, vol.54, Table Talks, No.4487, p.346)
"Popery…is
the proper cognizance of antichrist."
John Flavel
(1628-1691)
"Abhor
popery, and be eminent in your zeal against it. Rome is that
Amalek, with whom God will never make peace; neither should
we…no peace with Rome. My dear countrymen, I beseech you,
be not deceived with vain words; suffer not yourselves to be
circumvented by a stratagem of the enemy; let not prejudices
and discontents which they endeavor to beget and foment in
you, against your real friends, cause any of you to fall in
with the design and interest of your enemies: It is a
dangerous thing to comply with that interest which God hath
engaged himself against, and as sure as Christ sits at his
Father’s right-hand, shall be destroyed: And what cause
have you to abhor popery, you will see, by that time I have
shewed you, that it is a FALSE, BLOODY, BLASPHEMOUS,
UNCOMFORTABLE, AND DAMNABLE RELIGION."
John Flavel
(1628-1691)
"That which
is the religion of antichrist, is a false religion; but the
popish religion is the religion of antichrist."
John Flavel
(1628-1691)
"O hate
popery: for it is not only a bloody, but a blasphemous
religion. If we be Christians indeed, the dishonor of
God’s name should affect us more than the shedding of the
warmest blood in our veins; this scarlet whore is "full
of the names of blasphemy," Rev.17:3. Popery is a mere
rhapsody of blasphemies. Lastly, it is a damnable religion;
we have no ground from scripture to conclude the salvation
of any among them that know the depth of Satan, and live and
die in those destructive opinions. Hear what the scriptures
say, Rev.17:8. "The beast that thou sawest was, and is
not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pet, and go into
perdition; and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder,
whose names are not written in the book of life, from the
foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was ,
and is not, and yet is." And II Thess.2:21. "And
for this cause, God shall send them strong delusions that
they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned
that believe not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." When their sorest plagues shall come
upon them, they shall not have a heart given them to repent:
but "shall blaspheme the name of God because of
them," (Rev.16:9). And therefore to shut up this first
counsel, you that love the Lord, hate that by which he is so
much dishonored; it will make your blood boil in your veins,
to see how he is crucified, dethroned, and trampled on by
these his enemies."
John Flavel
(1628-1691)
"Thus,
whilst the husbandmen slept, the envious man Satan slept
not, but sew his tares. Thus popery grew up by degrees, till
it overspread the church, whilst the watchmen that should
have kept others awake, fell asleep themselves. And thus we
answer the papists, when they quarrel with us about the
beginning of their errors. They ask of us, when such and
such an heresy began? We answer, that those that should have
observed them, were asleep. Popery is a mystery that crept
into the church by degrees, under glorious pretenses.
(II:42)"
Richard Sibbes
(1577-1635)
"They are
idolaters, and worse in some sort than the heathen idolaters
were. Only change the names of the popish saints which they
in popery worship, and the names that the heathen worship,
and they will all be one. Now, names be no realities.
(II:378) But what should we speak of their church when they
have the pope, who is their church virtually? For what is
said of the one may be said of the other. When they come to
the issue, the church is nothing but the pope. Whatsoever
their church or councils say, he is the whole church. Many
ways they are gross idolaters, especially the common people.
In this they are worse than the heathens, because they have
more light, and still the more light the more sin. For they
have been foretold that the whore of Rome should be the
mother of all fornications, the spiritual Babylon, Sodom,
and Egypt in regard of idolatry, the mother of all these
abominations, Rev.17:5."
Richard Sibbes
(1577-1635)
"The devil
is a liar and a murderer from the beginning, the father of
lies. So likewise the pope is a liar; all popery is nothing
but lies. Therefore, II Thess.2:11, it is said, "they
are given over to believe lies." Popery is a grand lie.
It is a lie in the primacy; for it came in by forgery and
intrusion. It is a lie in purgatory, which is a mere
conceit. It is a lie in their miracles, which they have
devised to maintain their false worship with. It is a lie in
their works of supererogation, that they can fulfill more
than the Law requires. So that all popery, consider it
distinctly from our religion, because they have that which
we have, and some patches of their own, consider it by
itself, it is a mere lie. (VII:520) So that howsoever the
devil, who by St. Paul is called the god of this world, and
the pope the subordinate vicar to the devil, and so by
consequence he is the devil, for the devil, the dragon rules
him. Howsoever, I say there be the devil, the god of this
world, and the pope in this world, the vicar of that dragon;
yet there is but one monarch, one that rules all, both devil
and pope, and all the wicked limbs of both to his own ends.
(VII:526) Romish antichrist.—for those two, the Turk and
pope, are twins; they had their beginning at once, about
seven hundred years after Christ,--what moved this, but
only, when God had dealt graciously with them at the first,
and gave them his truth to save their souls. (VII:529)"
Richard Sibbes
(1577-1635)
"On
supposition that the church of Rome is a church of Christ,
it will appear to be the most schismatical church in the
world. I say on supposition that it is a church, and that
there is such a thing as a schismatical church (as perhaps a
church may from its intestine differences be not unfitly so
denominated), that is the state and condition
thereof…Christ hath ordained no church that inwraps such
interests as on the account whereof the members of it may
murder one another. (13:114)"
John Owen
(1616-1683)
"But what
need I insist upon this supposition, when I am not more
certain that there is any instituted church in the world,
owned by Christ as such, than I am that the church of Rome
is none, properly so called? Nor shall I be thought singular
in this persuasion, if it be duly considered what this
amounts unto. Some…men…grant that the Church of Rome
doth not err in fundamentals, or maintained no errors
remedilessly pernicious and destructive of salvation. How
far they entangled themselves by this concession I argue
not. The foundation of it lies in this clear truth, that no
church whatever, universal or particular, can possibly err
in fundamentals; for by so doing it would cease to be a
church. My denying, then the synagogue of Rome to be a
church, according to their principles, amounts to no more
that this,--the Papists maintain, in their public
confessions, fundamental errors; in which assertion it is
known I am not alone. (13:115)"
John Owen
(1616-1683)
"The truth
is, the whole of it is but an imitation and exemplar of the
old imperial government. One is set up in chief, and made in
spirituals, as the emperors were in several things; from him
all power flows to others…So that the present Roman church
is nothing else but an image or similitude of the Roman
empire, set up, in its declining, among and over the same
persons in succession, by the craft of Satan, through
principles of deceit, subtlety, and spiritual wickedness, as
the other was by force and violence, for the same ends of
power, dominion, flesliness, and persecution with the
former. (13:116)"
John Owen
(1616-1683)
"We deny
their church, as it is styled, to be the catholic church, or
as such any part of it, as particular churches are called or
esteemed; so that, of all men in the world, they are least
concerned in this assertion. Nay, I shall go farther.
Suppose all the members of the Roman church to be sound in
faith as to all necessary truths, and no way to prejudice
the advantages and privileges which accrue to them by the
profession thereof, whereby the several individuals of it
would be true members of the catholic church, yet I should
not only deny it to be the catholic church, but
also---abiding in its present order and constitution, being
that which by themselves it is supposed to be,--to be any
particular church of Christ at all, as wanting many things
necessary to constitute them so, and having many things
destructive utterly to the very essence and being of that
order that Christ hath appointed in his churches. The best
plea that I know for their church-state is, that Antichrist
sits in the temple of God. Now, although we might justly
omit the examination of this pretense until those who are
concerned in it will professedly own it as their plea,
yet…it imports no more but that the man of sin shall set
up his power against God in the midst of them who, by their
outward visible profession, have right to be called his
temple, which entitles him and his copartners in apostasy to
the name of the church as much as changing of money and
selling of cattle were ordinances of God under the old
temple, when, by some men’s practicing of them in it, it
was made a den of thieves. (13:154)"
John Owen
(1616-1683)
"But do we
not receive the Scripture itself upon the authority of the
church? I say, if we did so, yet this concerns not Rome,
which we account no church at all. That we have received the
Scriptures from the church of Rome at first,--that is, so
much as the book itself,--is an intolerable figment.
(13:155)"
John Owen
(1616-1683)
"It is most
ridiculous that they are this catholic church, or that their
communion is comprehensive of it in its latitude. He must be
blind, uncharitable, a judge of what he cannot see or know,
who can once entertain a thought of any such thing.
(13:161)"
John Owen
(1616-1683)
"That their
plea is so far from the truth, that they are, and they only,
the catholic church, that indeed they belong not to it,
because they keep not the unity of the faith, which is
required to constitute any person whatever a member of that
church, but fail in all the conditions of it; for,--
-
To proceed,
by way of instance, they do not profess nor believe a
justification distinct from sanctification, and
acceptance thereof; the doctrine whereof is of absolute
and indispensable necessity to the preservation of the
unity of the faith; and so fail in the first condition
of professing all necessary truths.
-
They
discover principles corrupt and depraved, utterly
inconsistent with those truths and the receiving of them
which in general, by owning the Scriptures, they do
profess.
-
That in
their doctrine of the pope’s supremacy, of merits,
satisfaction, the mass, the worshipping of images, they
add such things to their profession as enervate the
efficacy of all the saving truths they do profess and so
fail in the third condition. (13:168)"
John Owen
(1616-1683)
"Men need
not wonder that we warn them to beware of all leanings
towards the Church of Rome. Surely, when the mind of God
about idolatry is so plainly revealed to us in His Word, it
seems the height of infatuation in any one to join a Church
so steeped in idolatries as the Church of Rome. To enter
into communion with her, when God is saying, "Come out
of her, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and receive
not of her plagues" (Rev.XVIII.4), to seek her when the
Lord is warning us to leave her, to become her subjects when
the Lord’s voice is crying, "Escape for thy life,
flee from the wrath to come;" all this is mental
blindness indeed, a blindness like that of him who, though
forewarned, embarks in a sinking ship, a blindness which
would be almost incredible, if our own eyes did not see
examples of it continually. We must be on our guard. Those
who preach must cry aloud and spare not, and allow no false
tenderness to make them hold their peace about the heresies
of the day. Is this time for a man to draw closer to Rome?
Is it not rather a time to draw further back and stand
clear, lest we be involved in her downfall? Is this a time
to extenuate and palliate Rome’s manifest corruptions, and
refuse to see the reality of her sins? Beware of Rome. The
subject I now touch upon is of deep and pressing importance,
and demands the serious attention of all Protestant
Churchmen. It is vain to deny that a large party of English
clergy and laity in the present day are moving heaven and
earth to reunite the Church of England with the idolatrous
Church of Rome. The poor Church of England stands on an
inclined plane. Her very existence, as a Protestant Church,
is in peril. I hold, for one, that this Romish movement
ought to be steadily and firmly resisted. I regard it as a
most mischievous, soul-ruining, and unscriptural movement.
To say that re-union with Rome would be an insult to our
martyred Reformers, is a very light thing; it is far more
that this: it would be a sin and an offense against God!
Rather than become Popish once more, she had better die!
Unity in the abstract is no doubt an excellent thing: but
unity without truth is useless. Peace and uniformity are
beautiful and valuable; but peace without the Gospel, peace
based on a common Episcopacy, and not on a common faith, is
worthless peace, not deserving of the name. When Rome has
repealed the decrees of Trent, and her additions to the
Creed, when Rome has recanted her false and unscriptural
doctrines, when Rome has formally recanted image-worship,
Mary-worship, and transubstantiation, then, and not till
then, it will be time to talk of reunion with her. Till then
I call on all Churchmen to resist to the death this idea of
reunion with Rome. Till then let our watchwords be, "No
peace with Rome! No communion with idolaters!" "
Bishop J. C.
Ryle (1816-1900)
"There
is not a word anywhere in Scripture about any renewed and repeated sacrifice by
Christ. The Romanists tell us that they continue to present the sacrifice of
Christ in the unbloody sacrifice of the mass. But this is a mere invention of
their priests! Away, you sons of Antichrist!"
Spurgeon's sermon, "The Putting Away of
Sin" #911
"I shall now relate the real history of Christianity. — The word
'Christianity' is already a misunderstanding — in reality there has been
only one Christian, and he died on the Cross. The 'Evangel' died on the
Cross. What was called 'Evangel' from this moment onwards was already the
opposite of what he had lived: 'bad tidings' a dysangel. It is false to
the point of absurdity to see in a 'belief,' perchance the belief n the
redemption through Christ, the distinguishing characteristic of the
Christian . . . In fact there has been no Christians at all. The
'Christian,' that which has been called Christian for two millennia, is
merely a psychological self-misunderstanding. Regarded more closely, that
which has ruled in him, in spite of all his 'faith,' has been merely the
instincts — and what instincts! 'Faith' has been at all times, with
Luther for instance, only a cloak, a pretext, a screen, behind which the
instincts played their game — a shrewd blindness — one has always
spoken of faith, one has always acted from instinct . . . The Christian's
world of ideas contains nothing which so much as touches upon actuality .
. . One concept removed, a single reality substituted in its place — and
the whole of Christianity crumbles to nothing! — From a lofty
standpoint, this strangest of all facts, a religion not only determined by
errors but inventive and even possessing genius only in harmful, only in
life-poisoning and heart-poisoning errors, remains a spectacle for the
gods — for those divinities which are at the same time philosophers . .
. For let us not undervalue the Christian: the Christian, false to the
point of innocence, far surpasses the ape.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols/The Anti-Christ,
Penguin Classics, 1990, p. 161-62
"But in
the West, from the very birth of Christ, they have had
arguments, arguments, arguments — arguments with this limited
brain they had — and the whole religion in the name of Christ
is just a perversion. Such horrible things have been said that
is unbelievable. His purity, His holiness, His auspiciousness
is never understood in the West, I think. Those who follow
Christianity, how can they be so debased in their moral
character? They’re all right for their political, their
economical, we can say, their legal side, but their moral
sense is absolutely missing."
