This was incredible but I can only pray he also wakes up to the horrors and lies 9f catholicism. I would have defended it to my dying breath and yet God awakened me to his truth and mercy.
Though my life is much more tested and I'm more a target for the enemy, I'm also protected by the promises. Catholicism teaches more about pain and sacrifice, guilt and martyrs aka fear.
I'm prepared that if we are witness to a global persecution of Christians where my faith will stand but I don't think that means it in the way Catholics do. I wonder why God hasn't woken him up to that part yet.
In my dive into the spiritual war, however, Catholicism seems to still have power in the battle. For instance, priests and certain bishops have authority over demons in exorcisms. Holy water, blessed medals, candles, oils, salts, all hold power over demons. The Church has been infiltrated by evil, no doubt. Just as this great country has also been infiltrated. But it’s foundation is still sacred in the spiritual battle. And the teachings still offer protection in the war. Not all the Church is evil. Look no further than Archbishop Vigano, the dude should be Pope.
But that's exactly it. Your mentioning of holy oils, medals holding the power and only certain authorized priests can perform exorcism. These are the subtle lies mixed with truth.
Jesus did give us authority to trample serpents and scorpions. To exorcism demons (but remembering some take fasting to come out) but that's for all of us.
To me, the Catholic church has near crippled what we can do on earth in calling down heaven's army here and now. We do fight against the spiritual realm not flesh and blood but scripture never made sense as a Catholic, it's come alive now in God's instructions and provisions for my life and the same is for every Christian that is saved.
Revelation hasn't happened yet. That's a big part of Catholic teaching. When you take that one foundation out their pillars all start to fall. Scripture then becomes living and for here and now.
I understand if Catholics are offended, I was once exactly there myself. While my son was praying us out, I was trying to pray him back in! I even had an encounter as a hospice nurse caring for a deacon that randomly said to be the keys to Peter are a lie, he told me to look at Jerome. I thought weird and still took me near 2 years after that to discover and uncover the truth. What I found shocked me and I can never unsee or go back.
Regardless as I used to tell my son in tense discussions what unites us exceeds what divides us. God knows our heart and at the right time...he's never late.
Didn't he play Jesus?
Yep.

Here’s a video of Jim being interviewed about his experiences while making that film. Interesting stuff.
