IN the NEWS - Rome Says Joe Biden and the Virgin Mary will help us

 ....even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:20

"The President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop José Horacio Gómez, has issued a statement on behalf of the Catholic hierarchy congratulating Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for winning the 2020 Presidential Election. Archbishop José Horacio Gómez also stated that it is time for our nation to move forward and commit to the “common good” ... The statement read in part:

We recognize that Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has received enough votes to be elected the 46th President of the United States.

We congratulate Mr. Biden and acknowledge that he joins the late President John F. Kennedy as the second United States president to profess the Catholic faith. We also congratulate Sen. Kamala D. Harris of California, who becomes the first woman ever elected as vice president. We ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, patroness of this great nation, to intercede for us. Now is the time for our leaders to come together in a spirit of national unity and to commit themselves to dialogue and compromise for the common good.  

There you have it. .....Joe Biden and the Virgin Mary will help us get there. The USCCB used the words “common good”....

These are references that come from the encyclicals of Pope Francis 
----on climate change, Laudato Si’
---and on the universal brotherhood, Fratelli Tutti.

As Protestant Seventh-day Adventists, we must continue giving the warning of the Third Angel’s Message – ......

She (Rome) is employing every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for a fierce and determined conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done” (Great Controversy, p. 565)."
