SDA Issues - Our Italian Union Joins with Papacy

Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Revelation 2:22
 
"The Pope’s call to the churches to observe the 2021 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is accelerating the work to “bridge the chasm between Rome and the Reformation” (Great Controversy, p. 289). The decision on the part of Seventh-day Adventists in Italy to heed Pope Francis’ call to embrace Rome and its pagan rituals was not made by just one or two Seventh-day Adventist pastors. No. It was a concerted effort by Seventh-day Adventists throughout the entire country and required a lot of planning and coordination.
Hope Media Italia also participated. Hope Media Italia is owned by the Italian Union of Seventh-day Adventist Churches, which is the equivalent of the Hope Channel that we have here in the United States. There were three news sources that reported that Hope Media Italia would be broadcasting the Pope’s ecumenical meetings along with their pagan spiritualistic exercises: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cesena-Sarsina, the Cesena Courier, a Roman Catholic newspaper, and the Cesena Today, the local news media.

Cesena Couriour revealed that Hope Media Italia would be broadcasting Rome’s ecumenical festivities from INSIDE a Seventh-day Adventist Church during the sacred hours of the Lord’s Sabbath.

Hope Media Italia is being used to promote Rome’s ecumenical agenda. A Roman Catholic diocese publicly told its Catholic constituents that Hope Media Italia would be broadcasting live the Pope’s 2021 Ecumenical Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. They were telling their Catholic church members that if they couldn’t attend the Seventh-day Adventist Church in person to see their Roman Catholic Archbishop fulfill the Pope’s call to unite the churches, they could tune in by watching Hope Media Italia.

This is incredible. Church-owned media is being use to give Rome free publicity and free advertisement all thanks to the Italian Union of Seventh-day Adventist Churches." AdventMessenger
