I have been looking into Vatican II for a long time now wondering just how many of our well known pastors are Pope sympathisers.  Then the Emergent Movement exploded onto the scene – and one by one, two by two, 10 by 10, our pastors who could not preach a word wrong are coming out and proclaiming unity with all faiths at all costs.

This is an excellent article explaining the history, characteristics and fruit of the Vatican Second Council New Evangelization initiative.  You might get a few surprises as you read.  This article is very long, but WELL WORTH the read.

I am convinced that few errors are as destructive to fundamentalist Bible-believing churches as New Evangelicalism. When people leave our churches, where do they go? Do they join the Roman Catholic Church? Do they join a modernistic Protestant church, such as the United Methodist, the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., or the United Church of Canada? Do they join a cult such as the Mormons? That seldom occurs. Most that leave fundamentalist Bible-believing churches join the positive-thinking, easy-going New Evangelical church down the street or across town.
