CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT UNITY

Here is another prediction found also in Testimonies for the Church 5:207, 1885: “When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan, and that the end is near.”PGGC 89.3

To show how the first part of this prediction is already fulfilling we need only to call attention to what is transpiring around us. See Protestants, both ministers and people, courting the favor of Catholics, inviting them to attend their associations and join with them in their religious and political federations. Be it remembered that hardly a vestige of what is now seen in this line was apparent in 1885, when the above testimony was given.PGGC 90.1

As a sample of how the Protestants are reaching for the hand and help of papists, I will quote from the Kansas City (Missouri) Star of March 18, 1896.PGGC 90.2
