"A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY"

"The Roman Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties. SHE HAS CLOTHED HERSELF IN CHRISTLIKE GARMENT; BUT SHE IS UNCHANGED. Every principle of the papacy that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves. The papacy that Protestants are now so ready to honor is the same that ruled the world in the days of the Reformation, when men of God stood up, at the peril of their lives, to expose her iniquity. She possesses the same pride and arrogant assumption that lorded it over kings and princes, and claimed the prerogatives of God. Her spirit is no less cruel and despotic now than when she crushed out human liberty and slew the saints of the Most High." GREAT CONTROVERSY 571
