Adventists, Roman Catholics, and Evangelicals "Break Bread" Together During an Ecumenical Celebration
From May 13-24, 2024, Roman Catholics, Evangelicals, and Seventh-day Adventists celebrated an ecumenical "Bible" feast. The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Michael, located in Kassel, Germany, stated that they were delighted to celebrate with their Seventh-day Adventist brothers in Christ [1] and issued the following announcement about the ecumenical Bible Week, culminating with breaking bread at an ecumenical service in a Catholic Church. [2]
The announcement stated that "the Bible connects" and listed the following:
• A warm invitation to the ecumenical Bible evening
• God's creation, gift, and responsibility
• Tuesday, May 13, 2024, 7:00 p.m. - Protestant Parish Kassel-Wehlheiden Advent Church
• Thursday, May 16, 2024, 7:00 p.m. - Advent Church Kassel Seventh-day Adventists
• Tuesday, May 21, 2024, 7:00 p.m. - Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church, St. Michaelis
• Thursday, May 23, 2024, 7:00 p.m. - Evangelical Parish of Kassel Sudstadt Markuskirche
• Friday, May 24, 2024, 7:00 p.m. - Ecumenical service at the Catholic Church of St. Michael
• The Bible evenings are intended as a series but can also be attended individually.
The ecumenical movement seeks to promote unity and cooperation among all churches, and we can see how it is drawing the world into the arms of Rome. We see various churches in full communion, breaking bread together in a Roman Catholic Church. When participants from different denominations "break bread" together, it represents a tangible expression of their commitment to overcoming divisions and fostering a sense of shared faith and community. Breaking bread is both a literal act of sharing a meal and a metaphorical expression of fellowship and spiritual communion.
By participating in this shared ecumenical ritual, members of the ecumenical movement demonstrate their desire to achieve greater understanding and solidarity among each other, emphasizing their common beliefs and avoiding doctrinal differences. This is the heart of Pope Francis' message, as outlined in his encyclical Fratelli Tutti. Breaking bread (Eucharist) is a powerful symbol of reconciliation and mutual respect, aimed at achieving unity with the man of sin.
In contrast to the ecumenical movement, the mission of the Remnant Church is fundamentally centered on engaging the world with the intent of sharing the everlasting gospel in context with the Three Angels' Messages of Revelation 14. This is not just present truth, but our present duty. This evangelistic drive is rooted in the Great Commission, where Jesus instructed His followers to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). Revelation 14 is a fulfillment of this commission.
Our main purpose is to spread the message of salvation through Jesus and warn people against the beast, the image, and the mark. Only as we proclaim this message will the church fulfill its divine mandate. Every activity and initiative undertaken by God's people ultimately serves this primary mission of leading people of all denominations to embrace the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus (Revelation 14:12).

Let Us Stop Avoiding the Real Issues
As the 2025 General Conference Session convenes, with believers from around the world watching and praying, there is an unmistakable sense of frustration among many of the faithful. While we will be given lectures about returning our tithes and offerings-as outlined in the proposed 2025 Church Manual agenda-we must ask ourselves: is this truly the burning concern on the hearts of God's remnant people at this critical hour in history?

While walking down the hallway at the America's Center Convention Complex-the site of the 62nd General Conference Session-I saw Ganoune Diop approaching. Knowing how busy church leaders are during these sessions, I asked if he had time to answer just one question. He stopped to look at me, and I asked him directly, "Why don't you preach the Three Angels' Messages? Why do you only preach Jesus?" As he began…

The Catholic Voice Launches Initiative to Combat Loneliness Through Catholic Tra …
Loneliness has become one of the defining struggles of modern life. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, people-especially young adults-feel increasingly isolated. Social media offers the illusion of connection but often deepens the sense of disconnection. The more we scroll, the more alone we feel.
In this culture of quiet despair, the Catholic Tradition offers something radically different: presence, purpose, and belonging. Rooted in centuries of wisdom and worship, it…
Being Catholic in Troubled Times: Strength through Faith
"Violence will end in our society when we are all at peace with ourselves. As Mahatma Gandhi, the great peacemaker, said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." We may take important intermediate steps, such as gun control, better identification of at-risk individuals, and improved mental health care. But in the end, each of us must do the work of addressing the anger, fear, and…

"The time was when Protestants placed a high value upon the liberty of conscience which had been so dearly purchased. They taught their children to abhor popery and held that to seek harmony with Rome would be disloyalty to God. But how widely different are the sentiments now expressed!" (Great Controversy, p. 563).
On March 8, 2023, Luis Amigó Catholic University, a Roman Catholic institution of higher learning located in Medellin,…

Hope Media is the official news agency of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Italy. A March 15, 2022 headline from HopeMedia reads: "The Adventist Church in Solidarity with the Ukrainian Catholic Church." To stand in solidarity with someone, as in the case of Catholicism, means to be in "unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest."
One can certainly express regret for the suffering…
Adventist Insubordination Dressed Like a Catholic Procession
“We may have to remain here in this world because of insubordination many more years” (Evangelism, p. 696).
We don’t just want to act like insubordinate Rome; we also want to dress like them. On Sabbath, October 23, 2021, the Central States Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ordained Kimberly Bulgin to the gospel ministry. She was ordained into the ministry with full credentials. This is nothing less than insubordination. Here we have…
