THE SUNDAY NEWS SUMMARY STARTS TO POST MIDNIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT EASTERN US TIME.
The Pope and the President has been news this week I grew up listening to Dr. Carl McIntire self-styled leader of a 20th Century Reformation against liberal Protestant theology.
One of his friends was from Northern Ireland and once his friend Dr. Ian Paisley said this to a Pope:
"I denounce you as Christ's enemy and Antichrist"
Legendary Northern Ireland preacher-politician Ian Paisley in the European Parliament on October 11, 1988 heckling Pope John Paul II...
The video here with Dr. Paisley holding a paper naming Pope John Paul II as "Antichrist"...
The events of recent weeks certainly create an atmosphere where the name "Antichrist" can be applied to individuals on all sides of the Iran War.
The "China War Update" let's listen to Randy Stonehill sing "China"...
Well first we had those elusive "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (WMD) used to justify a war in Iraq back in 2003.
For decades we had the notion of Iran developing a nuclear weapon in just weeks leading us to the Iran War of today.
And look out now China is getting demonized for allegedly using 'cyanide' to kill marine life in disputed islands in the South China Sea...
