Adventists Join Ecumenical Clergy in Celebrating Pope Francis' Appointment to the Vatican's Doctrinal Office in Rome, Affirming that We All Share the Same Faith

Victor Fernandez, a Roman Catholic Archbishop from Argentina, will be promoted to the rank of Cardinal after being chosen by Pope Francis to head the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the oldest office of the Vatican. Cardinal-elect Victor Fernandez's primary job will be to preserve, defend, and uphold Roman Catholic teachings and beliefs worldwide. This is one of the most important and influential appointments at the Vatican because he will be responsible for encouraging Roman Catholics to remain devoted to their faith while evangelizing non-Catholics by helping them to understand Catholic beliefs and practices.

Seventh-day Adventists in Argentina joined a group of interfaith clergy to celebrate Archbishop Victor Fernandez's recent appointment to this top Vatican position by welcoming the news and expressing their congratulations. Adventist church leaders offered their best wishes and fraternal hugs to Archbishop Victor Fernandez. They also told the Catholic official they would pray for him and assured him that "the faith that unites us" will guide him in his new role as head of the Vatican's doctrinal office.

What a sad day indeed! Our forefathers and predecessors believed in actually giving the Three Angels' Message to all people, including Catholics, with the hope of seeing them converted and baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist faith. Instead, modern-day Adventist leaders are signing these repugnant documents, affirming that we share the same "faith" as Catholics and wishing Catholic clergy success in their efforts to spread Catholicism throughout the world.

For any Seventh-day Adventist to be part of an ecumenical organization that actually promotes such absurd ideas is an indication of how our world has changed and the extent to which many of our people have completely strayed from their God-given calling. We live in an age that is constantly pushing the idea of ​​how we can coexist peacefully and in unity with the "man of sin, the son of perdition" (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Once again, prophecy foretold this exact scenario in the last days (Revelation 13:3).

This letter, which is signed by Seventh-day Adventists, embodies the teachings of Pope Francis on interfaith unity and human fraternity. It is a fulfillment of Fratelli Tutti and the Vatican II agenda, which alleges that all religions share a common faith and destiny. Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and everyone else are all equal. We must therefore end divisions and appreciate and acknowledge the worth that each faith has since we are all brothers and sisters. However, this is only human opinion, and it's a deception because if all religions were equal, we wouldn't have inspired statements like the one below:

"There is one pointed out in prophecy as the man of sin. He is the representative of Satan … Here is Satan's right-hand man ready to carry on the work that Satan commenced in heaven, that of trying to amend the law of God. And the Christian world has sanctioned his efforts by adopting this child of the papacy,-the Sunday institution. They have nourished it, and will continue to nourish it, until Protestantism shall give the hand of fellowship to the Roman power. Then there will be a law against the Sabbath of God's creation, and then it is that God "will do a strange work in the earth." (Review and Herald, March 9, 1886).

The actions of Adventist leaders in Argentina and other countries are in direct opposition to God's clear instructions. Rome is being praised for its efforts to spread apostasy and heresy. We are giving fraternal hugs to Satan's right-hand man. We are praying for the man of sin to continue feeding lies and false doctrines to the entire world. What is wrong with these church leaders? What world are they living in? We must instead pray for God to deliver them from their idolatry and darkness.
