Antipope John Paul II, Angelus Reflection, Jan. 6, 2005: “I invite the young people of Germany and their peers across the world to set out in spirit toward this important rendezvous, to discover the Face of God in Christ and in the Magi.” (L’Osservatore Romano, Jan. 12, 2005, p. 10.)

Comment:  We proved in our video Antipope John Paul II: Final Antichrist Revealed that John Paul II preaches that man is God in many different ways.  A full exposé of this issue can also be seen in the article by the same name on our website. But here again we see that he is clearly preaching that man is God, by stating that we discover the Face of God in the Magi!

A few other interesting statements made over 2004 by John Paul II (which we have not quoted before today)

John Paul II, Message Dec 8, 2003: ”I hope that today, when the new Europe is endeavoring to give itself an identity, the work of the Stadium Generale Marcianum will be able to reaffirm and demonstrate to one and all that the purpose of every culture is man…” (L’Osservatore Romano Jan. 21, 2004 issue p.4) John Paul II, Message Jan. 5, 2004: “Discrimination on the basis of effectiveness is just as disgraceful as racial, gender or religious discrimination.” (L’Osservatore Romano Jan. 21, 2004, p.6)

He is saying religious discrimination is disgraceful.

John Paul II, Address Jan. 12, 2004: “There is no doubt at all that a healthy dialogue between the State and the Churches – which are not rivals but partners – can encourage the integral development of the human person and harmony in society.” (L’Osservatore Romano Jan. 21, 2004, p.3)

The Catholic Church condemns the separation of the Church and the State.  But notice that John Paul II speaks above about “the State and the Churches,” not the State and the Church, because he accepts non-Catholic “Churches” as being true Churches.

John Paul II, Address Feb. 27, 2004: “In the name of religious freedom, which is one of the fundamental aspects of freedom of conscience, every Christian and every follower of any religion has the right to have his or her beliefs and practices respected…” (L’Osservatore Romano March. 11, 2004, p. 7) John Paul II, Message Sept. 30, 2004: “I was warmly and enthusiastically welcomed by you and by the State Authorities, by H.B. Patriarch Teoctist and by all the people of the venerable Orthodox Church of Romania.” (L’Osservatore Romano Oct. 20, 2004, p.4) John Paul II, Address Oct. 29, 2004 to new ambassador of Iran: “Indeed, freedom of worship is only one aspect of freedom of religion, which must be the same for all a country’s citizens…The various Christian confessions, as well as the world’s great religions, need to work together to eliminate the social and cultural causes of terrorism…I am especially delighted at the establishment in your Country of regular meetings for high-level dialogue between Christians and Muslims, under the patronage of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and the Shi’ite Authorities of Iran.  I have no doubt that this initiative will pave the way to a constant improvement in relations between believers, on the basis of mutual respect and trust.  Through you, I am happy to be able to greet the Catholic communities of various rites that live in Iran who, together with their Orthodox brethren, have assured the continuity of the Christian presence down the centuries.  I hope that the Christians, who have always desired to be on good terms with the Muslims, may further explore the need for dialogue in daily life through the different aspects of the social life they have in common.  I would like to recall how important it is, as I see it, that each person have an effective possibility, with respect for the laws of the country, to express his religious beliefs freely, to gather with his brethren to worship God as due…” (L’Osservatore Romano Nov. 17, 2004, p.4)

During this speech by John Paul II, 1) he promotes freedom of religion; 2) he says that Muslims are believers who we should respect and trust, when they are just the opposite – infidels (i.e., unbelievers); 3) he says that the schismatic “Orthodox” are our “brethren” whose schismatic religion has assured the continuity of the Christian presence down the centuries; 4) he says that ”Christians have always desired to be on good terms with the Muslims”; and 5) he stresses how important it is that each person express his false religious beliefs freely.

John Paul II, Address to Prime Minister of Iraq on November 4, 2004: ”I wish to encourage the efforts made by the Iraqi People to establish democratic institutions which will be truly representative and committed to defending the rights of all, in complete respect for the ethnic and religious diversity which has always been a source of enrichment for your Country.” (L’Osservatore Romano Nov. 17, 2004, p.2)

He is saying that false religions enrich the country.

John Paul II, Address to Religious Leaders of Azerbaijan on Nov. 18, 2004: “…the Russian Orthodox Church to which I am bound by ties of esteem and affection…No one has the right to present or to use religions as instruments of intolerance or the means of aggression, violence and death.  On the contrary, if friendship and reciprocal esteem among them is additionally sustained by a commitment to tolerance on the part of Government Leaders, it can be a rich resource of authentic progress and peace.  All together, Muslims, Jews and Christians, let us appeal to humanity in the name of God and civilization, so that homicidal violence may cease and people take the way of love and of justice for all.  This is the path of the religions.  May God help us walk on it with perseverance and patience!” (L’Osservatore Romano Dec. 1, 2004, p.2)

In this speech: 1) he says that he has esteem and affection for the Schismatic “Orthodox” Church; 2) he says that the Catholic religion cannot be intolerant of any falsehood; 3) he states that esteem for other religions – and friendship between them – is a rich resource of authentic progress.  He then says 4) “This is the path of the religions.”  This is total religious indifferentism – a clear enunciation of the apostate idea that all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy.  These quotes provide just a small sampling of what one sees in reading the writings of the arch-apostate John Paul II.  This is the flavor of religious indifferentism which his demonic mouth spews basically weekly.
