However, we do believe that someday a false prophet will arise and the Pope is in a certainly a canidate to fill that role so I understand your concern.

In reality though, Protestants (dispensationalist) should be excited about the return of Christ so that prospect of a one world government will simply mean the end is near and that the joy of our salvation is near for both of us to name Christ as our savior.

I believe most Catholic will be in heaven in any event. I have worked alongside many Catholics in jail ministries...

Catholicism has a pretty wide cross-section of believers, which should really not come as such a surprise given that it has over a billion adherents. There is, of course, things that Catholics should believe, which unifies those who hold to the faith.

Relations between Protestants and Catholics have not always been the best, and you are correct in saying that the Second Vatican Council has taken steps to extend a Catholic hand to those of the Protestant and Orthodox faiths.

In terms of Jesus' return, I know not the day nor the hour, and I think our POVs on His return probably vary immensely since Catholicism tends to take a more preterism/amillenialism stance.

It's refreshing to hear that you have worked alongside many Catholics in jail ministries, and I hope those experiences have been good ones.; 9:09 PM

Who is this joker?

Thomas Joseph
Professionally I am a bug hunter (aka microbiologist) and a gene jockey (aka molecular biologist). I started my career as a med tech, but now I'm a research scientist who studies environmental microbiology. When I'm not answering scientific questions about the roles that microbes play on climate change and/or water and soil quality, I'm an amateur astronomer and play racquetball. I'm also a sports nut, though my liking of both the NY Metropolitans (baseball) and NY Jets (football) tests my devotion to these sports on a continual basis. Fortunately, I'm also an OU alumnus (PhD, Microbiology) and we usually have a pretty good football team. Boomer Sooner!
