Evangelical fundamentalists are some of the most ignorant of people. No wonder they fall for the jack chick gimmicks. Can you imagine some of them would tell you that "if the King James Version was good enough for Jesus it is good enough for me." Lol

You dismissed him immediately without considering the facts just as you are ignoring the evidence on this thread. Ignorance is not a virtue.

Do you hear yourself? You believe that the RCC is a false religion without showing any evidence but the one who has produced the evidence you hurriedly concluded that it was not worth listening to. Who is deceiving who?

Rivera does more than provide 'evidence' that Catholicism is false, he fabricates and concocts lunacy linking Catholicism to all ills. That's where we part ways. If you need Rivera to tell you Catholicism is false, you need to have your head examined

There is nothing to debunk in the first place because Rivera is all over and he does not provide evidence himself. He claims evidence is suppressed so it is unavailable.

If you really want to discuss the serious charges Alberto levied against the Roman Catholic church then lets start from the claim that he was never once a Jesuit priest.

In defense of former Jesuit Alberto Rivera

When Chick Publications first published the personal testimony of former Jesuit Alberto Rivera, Rome called upon her ecumenical contacts to go on the attack. Rome's friends attacked the way they always have, by attacking the messenger. Not wanting to publicly discuss the serious charges Alberto lays against his former church, they tried to discredit him personally, hoping people would then not read his message.

The most famous of these personal attacks was an open letter published in Christianity Today, which has been copied and distributed around the world many times since the 1980s. Upon reading this attack, a Christian named James Houston, who had read enough of history to know the truth of Alberto's charges, came forward. Following is the letter he wrote in defense of Alberto Rivera.

Since the Christianity Today letter is still being distributed to attack Alberto's God-given message, even going so far as to deny he was ever a priest, we feel it is appropriate to make Houston's rebuttal available as well. It is vital that Bible-believing Christians understand the true nature of the Roman Catholic Church, so they will understand why they need to reach out in love to Catholics to lead them to saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Read the rebuttal James Houston in the link above.

Dear Sir:

I have read your three page article exposing J.T. Chick's "Alberto" to be a fraud (see Christianity Today, March 13, 1981). I would like to make the following comments on the same hoping that God in His sovereignty would allow this letter to be printed (in full) in a future issue of Christianity Today:

1. Considering the evidence set forth in your article, though I find many things stated of which Alberto Rivera may or may not be guilty, I can find no evidence in the article that proves him to be a fraud, unless of course, I'm misunderstanding the word: "fraud." You do state what Rome herself has to say about Alberto. Who in a right frame of mind (unless they are totally ignorant of history) would give heed to her words in the light of the following evidence:

a) Her teaching that "the end justifies the means" allows her the freedom to lie, just as long as it propagates her cause.

b) H.G. Wells, noted historian, in his book, "Crux Ansata," states:

Page 105 - "Roman Catholicism is a broken and utterly desperate thing, capable only of malignant mischief in our awakening world."

Page 155 - "I think that it stands for everything most hostile to the mental emancipation and stimulation of mankind. It is the completest, most highly organized system of prejudices and antagonisms in existence. Everywhere in the world there are ignorance and prejudice, but the greatest complex of these, with the most extensive prestige and the most intimate entanglement with traditional institutions, is the Roman Catholic Church. It presents many faces towards the world, but everywhere it is systematic in its fight against freedom."

To be continued...

Reasons why we should take what the RCC says with a pinch of salt.

c) Lord Macaulay, in his "Essays on Ranke's History of the Popes, 1852," page 548, states:

"It is impossible to deny that the polity of the Church of Rome is the very masterpiece of human wisdom....The experience of 1,200 eventful years, the ingenuity and patient care of forty generations of statesmen, have improved that polity to such perfection, that, among the contrivances which have been devised for deceiving and controlling mankind, it occupies the highest place."
Again, Macaulay in his "History of England," (Volume 1, page 47) states:

"the loveliest and most fertile provinces of Europe have under her (Rome's) rule, been sunk in poverty, in political servitude, and in intellectual torpor."

The bolded above happens to be true. I noticed a sharp contrast between the poor and the rich when I visited Spain and Gibralter respectively. Spain has about 45% unemployment while tiny Gibraltar (British Overseas Territory) happens to be the 8th richest in Europe.

This is what Adam smith got to say about the reputation of the Roman catholic institution:

e) Adam Smith ("Wealth of Nations," Book V, Chapter 1, Part 3, Ant. 3):

"The Church of Rome is the most formidable combination that ever was formed against the authority and security of civil government, as well as against the liberty, reason, and happiness of mankind."
