Gio Benitez, an openly gay ABC News anchor  has joined the Roman Catholic Church and reaffirmed his faith alongside his ‘husband’ Tommy DiDario

The ‘church that never changes’ is going through something that can only be called a schism, one that threatens to blow the 1,700-year old Roman Catholic corporation to smithereens. Of course, the seeds of this brewing battle were planted by Pope Francis in his relentless pursuit to bring the entire LGBQ including the ‘T’ Movement into the Roman harlot. He did a pretty good job, too.

“And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.” Revelation 13:6 (KJB)

Benitez said “Divine love was in me all along, always whispering guidance, gently reaching out with arms wide open, and like Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, patiently waiting for me to reach back out and embrace the greatest mystery”. Is that true? Not according to the Bible, it’s not. Divine love is found in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day according to the scripture. Anything else is a cheap counterfeit, including your feelings. Did Jesus shed His blood on the cross to save Gio Benitez? Sure He did. But Jesus would never confirm someone in their sins. Schism be damned, the Roman Catholic Church will fully accept the LGBTQ Movement, and you can quote me on that.

Openly Gay ABC News Anchor Gio Benitez Joins Catholic Church with Confirmation Mass

FROM YAHOO! NEWS: The video taken at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City captured Benitez’s confirmation mass while a hymn was sung. Benitez shared his religious journey in the caption, stating how Pope Francis’ death in April 2025 led him to this moment. The 40-year-old explained, “Six months ago, the death of a humble pope unexpectedly took me on a journey that was a lifetime in the making.”

“Father James Martin was on GMA speaking about Pope Francis’ legacy of inclusivity,” he continued. “His words struck me. It was the first time I had seen a Catholic priest speaking in such a beautiful way about LGBTQ people.” Benitez is specifically referring to Martin’s words that claimed Pope Francis told him to “continue his ministry in peace” in regards to Catholics who are also a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Martin also referenced Pope Francis’ famous quote, “Who am I to judge?” when the late pope was asked about gay priests.

“Divine love was in me all along, always whispering guidance, gently reaching out with arms wide open, and like Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, patiently waiting for me to reach back out and embrace the greatest mystery.” – Gio Benitez

Martin’s message impacted Benitez as he recalled Christianity’s role in his life: “I had received my Christian baptism with my mom 25 years ago when I was 15. In secret, that nagging question persisted: if God created me, how could he not love me?” The question followed him into his young adulthood as he “went on to study religion in college, searching for proof of God. But maybe I was just searching for proof of God’s love.”

The news personality then shared how he found God’s love at St. Paul’s, saying that during his first visit in May, Pastor Eric Andrews “preached on three simple words spoken by Christ: Love. One. Another. ‘When we’re able to love and love freely and openly — and love ourselves as well — we are a long ways down the road to fulfilling the Kingdom of God.'”

Benitez found the answer to his question, writing, “It turns out proof of God’s love wasn’t in the books or lecture halls, or even the amount of years I spent studying.” He furthered,  “That divine love was in me all along, always whispering guidance, gently reaching out with arms wide open, and like Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, patiently waiting for me to reach back out and embrace the greatest mystery.” READ MORE

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, the first pope ever elected from America will serve as Pope Leo XIV over the Roman Catholic faithful

The white smoke pouring out of the smokestack at the Vatican let the world know that a new pope, a new Pontifex Maximus in the seat of Caesar, has been selected. We showed you in our article from the other day ‘From Rome To Roman Catholic’ the true evolution of Roman Catholic Church with its roots, not in the Bible, but in the governmental system of the Roman Empire. The somewhat stunning choice of American Robert Francis Prevost as new Roman pope is certainly a surprise very few people had on their scorecards. One thing’s for sure, he is a progressive and will carry out the agenda of the recently-deceased Pope Francis.

“And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:11 (KJB)

The majority of the King James Bible translators all thought that the Antichrist would come from Rome, with whatever pope at that time fulfilling that end time role. That’s certainly a great guess in line with Revelation 17 and 18, but the longer I study the Book the more I come to a slightly different conclusion. I see the Roman pope in the role of the False Prophet who is to Antichrist what John the Baptist was to Jesus. This new pope is young and ambitious and we will be following his every move.

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has just been elected Pope Leo XIV

FROM CNN: Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the United States has been elected the 267th pope and will soon step onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica as the new leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics.

Prevost, 69, from Chicago, Illinois, is the first ever pope from the United States. He will be known as Leo XIV.

A leader with global experience, he spent much of his career as a missionary in South America and most recently led a powerful Vatican office for bishop appointments. He is expected to build on Pope Francis’ reforms.

He worked for a decade in Trujillo, Peru, and was later appointed bishop of Chiclayo, another Peruvian city, where he served from 2014 to 2023.

In an interview with Vatican News shortly after he became the leader of the Dicastery for Bishops, Prevost said: “I still consider myself a missionary. My vocation, like that of every Christian, is to be a missionary, to proclaim the Gospel wherever one is.” READ MORE

LIVE: Robert Prevost of the US named Pope Leo XIV

Cardinal Robert Prevost, an American missionary who spent his career ministering in Peru and leads the Vatican’s powerful office of bishops, was elected the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church. Prevost, 69, took the name Leo XIV.

The Roman Catholic Church was formed in the belly of the ancient Roman Empire and has nothing in common with anything found in the New Testament

The Catholic Church is very busy right now electing a new pope, or as they like to call him, the Pontifex Maximus. Every day headlines bring news filled with buzzwords like pontiffs, priests, cardinals, electors and pope, words we associated with the Catholic Church. But surprise, surprise, those are not Catholic words and terms, they are the language of the ancient Roman Empire that began 6 decades before the birth of Jesus Christ. Did you know that one of the most famous Pontifex Maximuses was Julius Caesar?

“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.” John 17:11 (KJB)

Nearly everything about the Catholic Church was first formed and birthed within the framework of the Roman Empire, yes, the very same Roman Empire that spent 300 years feeding Christians to the lions for sport. Rome was not a secular government, they were highly religious albeit of the pagan sort. Pontifex Maximus, or ‘High Priest’, was the highest priest in ancient Rome and the superior of the college of priests – pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum). According to ancient records, Rome owed the foundation of the college of pontiffs to the second king of Rome – Numa Pompilius. The priests in the college acted as advisers to the king (rex) on religious matters. The head of the office was the described pontifex maximus, who together with other priests sat on position for life. You can read more about that here.

NO, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DID NOT GIVE US THE BIBLE, BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHY THAT’S TRUE, CLICK TO ORDER!!

You see, in the Roman Catholic Church, all the offices they have like priest, cardinal (deacon), pontiff and Pontifex Maximus all existed before one word of the New Testament was even written! None of it is from any of the gospels or any of the writings of the apostles, that would come later when the Roman Empire was in decline and the switch was made to preserve it by making it a church. At that point, Rome appropriated gospel passages to add as window dressing to give themselves the “keys to the kingdom”. Read more about that here.

“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.” Revelation 2:15 (KJB)

Look in your Bible and try as you might, you will not find any scripture calling for the creation of a special and powerful clerical ruling class of priests who lord over the laity they have in subjection. Other things you will not find in the Bible include:

• Nuns
• The Eucharist
• Wine that becomes blood
• Confession to a priest
• Pray to Mary
• Pray to dead saints
• Saints as a special class created by a vote
• Relics
• Aids to worship
• The Mass
• The Confessional
• The Sacraments
• Stations of the Cross
• Purgatory

When I was a Roman Catholic for the first 30 years of my life, from time to time I would wonder why, if my church was the “one true church”, was it centered in Rome and not in Jerusalem like everything connected to the apostles was. That’s a good question you should ask. I wondered why almost nothing I was taught lined up with what the Bible taught, and why all the “bible classes” I was made to attend, CCD, only ever taught the “traditions of the early church fathers” and not Bible doctrine. The entire superstructure of the Roman Catholic Church existed with priests, pontiffs, worship services, confession and the Pontifex Maximus long before Jesus ever walked the earth. This is why it’s called the Roman Catholic Church because it’s not the Christian church.

“This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:” Acts 7:38 (KJB)

Any group of people who meet for any reason on a regular basis can accurately be called a ‘church’, or a ‘called out assembly’. This word did not originate with the New Testament and is not exclusive to it, either. The first reference to any ‘church’ is connected to Moses and the Jews wandering in the wilderness.

Your King James Bible has a lot to say about saints, that’s the term given to believers in any dispensation and in either Testament. Surprised? Read your Bible more and you won’t be.

Old Testament Saints:

“But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.” Psalm 16:3 (KJB)

Church Age Saints:

“To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Colossians 1:2 (KJB)

Tribulation Age Saints:

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Revelation 13:7 (KJB)

The Bride of Christ Saints:

“And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:8 (KJB)

End of the Millennium Saints: 

“And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” Revelation 20:9 (KJB)

The dramatic story of some of the most dangerous periods in Christian history, the persecution by the Roman Catholic Church.

In closing, let me say this. Open the secular history books and look around. Who was the number one killer of Christians in the first, second and third centuries? It was the Roman Empire. Who was the number one killer of Christians in the Dark Ages? It was the Roman Catholic Church. William Tyndale was executed for the crime of putting the Bible into English, an order given at the hand of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V of the Catholic Church in 1536. 1536?? What’s the Holy Roman Empire doing in 1536, I thought that ended in 476? No, the Roman Empire never ended, it never fell, it is alive with all its pagan pageantry in the Vatican where right now they are preparing to elect the next Pontifex Maximus. Julius Caesar would be so proud.
