As a Christian I try not to call out the Catholic Church for what it is. Trying to be decent here. But bottom line, anything or anyone that gets in between you and our Lord Jesus Christ…is something of the enemy, Satan. This “church” has placed this person called a pope, between them and God. I’ve got two family members who are Catholic. And to hear them talk about who protects them and who intercedes for them. Who blesses them…after 30 mins I just had to say, “you haven’t mentioned Jesus once….”. Oh they know who Jesus is. They know His purpose. But as far as a relationship…personally, I question that. Satan has placed to many more “things” in the way of a personal relationship with Jesus. I was even told that they would feel wrong to walk up into my church, which happens to be a southern Baptist church(although I don’t care for denominations personally and don’t call myself a Baptist). How weird is that? Can’t walk up into a place that worships Christ. And reads from the Bible? I can walk into any church who does that. And I read along in my Bible to make sure they are speaking God’s truth.
And as far as this picture. Dark cloaks, hidden faces. The depiction of Jesus has always been clear to me. Spotless and beautiful white clothing with hair white like wool(Revelation). So face showing. These hooded figures seem dark and not of a holy God. Imo.
