Comment: We’ve been blessed by your writings for years, but lately you’ve done nothing but bash Catholics. It’s become a vendetta. When you’re ready to give us the variety of subjects you once did, let us know and we’ll get back on your mailing list—but take us off until then.

Response: It is true that Catholicism has been a major topic in the last two years, and with good reason. Catholics make up nearly one-fifth of the world’s population and comprise a much higher percentage in the Western world. They are about 25 percent in the United States and more than 90 percent in Latin America and in Spain, France, Italy, Poland, etc. Here is a huge mission field of those whose Church has deceived them with a false gospel that cannot take them to heaven. We need to love Catholics enough to tell them the good news that they can receive forgiveness of all sin (past, present and future) and eternal life through faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross.

Most evangelicals don’t know the truth about Catholicism; and a number of leading evangelicals are insisting that all active Catholics are saved and not to be evangelized. Some are even joining Catholics to evangelize the world. The whole issue of the evangelical response and relationship to Catholics will be one of the most important questions facing the church until the Rapture. Catholicism warrants a great deal of our attention, which we will continue to give it. Let us be in continual prayer and evangelism effort to win Catholics to Christ.
