Dear Friend,
The Papacy is ever looking for ways to implement its ecumenical agenda.  Its goal is to draw all Evangelicals into the folds of the Roman Catholic Church.  Vatican Council II officially proclaimed this objective in its documents in the mid 1960’s.  However, the Papacy’s problem was how to find entry points into Evangelical circles to begin implementing their new ecumenical policy. In 1967, a major event occurred among some of the Catholic students of Duquesne University as they attended a retreat.  That event was dubbed by some of the professors as “baptism in the Holy Spirit.”  The news of such a “move of God” quickly spread to the Notre Dame University in nearby Indiana.  Cardinal Suenens was sent by the Papacy to estimate the rapidly
growing movement.  With Cardinal Suenens’ favorable report, the Papacy had a major entry
point into Evangelical circles, which they exploited.
  
This newsletter documents the sinister power behind the Papal outreach to the Evangelicals of  the modern Pentecostal movement.  It also shows that what the Catholics mean by “baptism in the Holy Spirit” is utterly different from what the Evangelical Pentecostals mean by that same term.  Factual knowledge of the power behind the Catholic experiences shows the snare that is hidden in the Catholic ecumenical outreach to the Evangelical Pentecostals.  

Please make the article below known to others, and kindly link to it from your website or email, if possible.  
Yours for the Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel,

The Papacy’s Exploitation of Pentecostalism 
By Richard Bennett 

The modern Pentecostal movement was derived from the holiness movement of the late 19th century.  As part of that movement, there was an outbreak of what was called the “baptism in the Spirit” at Charles Parham’s Bethel Bible School in Topeka, Kansas on January 1, 1901.  In 1906, similar events began occurring at the Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles.  The Pentecostal movement generated great excitement from those claiming that God was moving in the signs and wonders that were taking place at these gatherings.  As news of these happenings spread, the excitement  of all this increasingly drew  people out of various settled
denominations to join with those who desired “baptism in the Spirit” and the signs and wonders that were associated with the movement.
