Vatican News promoted this. Some Catholics are concerned that the Amazonian synod is leading to two Catholic faiths: the traditional one and one that is being called the &#8220;Amazonian Religion.&#8221; The Vatican has also been promoting an interfaith agenda with the Jews and Muslims with the &#8220;Higher Committee of Human Fraternity,&#8221; and its first major project, the &#8220;Abrahamid Family House&#8221; (which is set to open in 2022). Are these good things for Christians? WIll they lead to the rise of Babylonian Beast and Antichrist power? What does the Bible warn about this? Do both the Bible and certain Catholic writings show that the Church of Rome will be betrayed by powers it will align with? Is some type of one world religion being worked on?

Pope Francis has worked with Protestants, the Eastern Orthodox, the United Nations, Amazonians, and others to encourage this.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible also warns that God\u2019s people need to not be part of that system (Revelation 14:9-12; 16:2; 18:4). Jesus warned that most people would be deceived (Matthew 24:24).<\/p>\n<p>Biblical prophecies show that Rome (cf. Revelation 17:1-9, 18) will be betrayed (Revelation 17:16-17) and that the Antichrist\/False Prophet will survive that betrayal until Jesus returns (Revelation 19:19-20).<\/p>\n<p>This means that both biblical and Catholic prophecies warn of betrayal of the Church of Rome but some ecclesiastical authority who sounds like an antipope. Some wonder if Pope Francis is that ecclesiastical authority. We shall see. Even though his age could rule him out, he truly has taken steps consistent with being that ecclesiastical authority so far.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style1\"><a href=\"\/celibacy.htm\">Was Celibacy Required for Early Bishops or Presbyters?<\/a> Some religions suggest this, but what does the Bible teach?
