I was just sitting here coming to the end of another satisfying pastime of reading Reader’s Digest, when a two-page advertisement caught my eye. I saw the words “The Pope” in bold print.

Some gobbledygook about the end of times. I went on their website worldslastchance.com/en. Looks like they believe in the flat earth theory. And they are very anti-RC.

Has anyone here heard about this group? Just curious. It’s the last thing I expected to see in Reader’s Digest. Even if it is a paid advertisement.

This survey question is on their homepage:

“WLC believes that It is under the first woe that the abomination of desolation will be established. When demons in the form of extraterrestrials over run the earth, the pope will be exalted to be earth’s representative. In this new position of ultimate power he will, at that time, impose a universal Sunday law. Where do you stand?”

I don’t think you need to take this group seriously.

I stumbled across one of these flat earthers on YouTube. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard! This guy solidly says a spherical Earth is a RCC guided, non biblical concept. Guess he never heard that we persecuted Galileo regarding this and banned Copernicus’ book supporting this claim. It took us until sometime in the 1800’s to finally come around.

You might be surprised if you read a recent historical account of the Galileo affair.

The Church only told Galileo “you can’t prove that it’s true, so stop saying that it’s proven.” And then Galileo published a story, mocking the pope. (‘More flies with honey than vinegar’ might have been a better approach for Galileo. )

The apologies were for the treatment… not the assertion (which, as it turns out, is factual: he couldn’t prove it). What’s really funny is that the world wags its finger at the big bad mean anti-science Church… but in actuality, what the Church was telling Galileo was nothing short of “hey! be a good scientist! quit saying you’ve proven something you can’t prove!”

Thanks for elaborating. I like knowing as much as I can! I learn so much from all you smart people round these parts!!

I don’t give any credence to what these guys are saying, I just have issue with them trying to blame the Catholic Church for spreading false doctrines. It just amazes me how Protestants still feel the need to go after the Church.
