YET MORE ROMANIST WHITEWASH
The report of the Vatican's "Apostolic Visitation" to Ireland to investigate the child abuse scandal has just been published (20 March 2012). It seems to be a case of "déjà vu all over again". The Vatican expresses "dismay and betrayal" at the "sinful and criminal acts" by Catholic clergy and the Irish hierarchy have responded with the ritual hand-wringing and crocodile tears. The report fails to accept responsibility for the culture of secrecy and cover-up of what was systemic abuse, and it also states that the Visitation was pastoral in nature - an indication that no meaningful action will be taken to bring the guilty to account.
Michael Kelly of the 'Irish Catholic' said the report carried "a very clear warning that says authentic renewal cannot be brought about by dissent from Church teaching." The report states, "The Visitators also encountered a certain tendency, not dominant but nevertheless fairly widespread among priests, religious and laity, to hold theological opinions at variance with the teachings of the Magisterium, this serious situation requires particular attention". Such arrogance is a reminder that nothing has changed or ever will change. Rome will not tolerate any independent thinking and the Magisterium (the teaching authority of the church) continues to take precedence over the Bible.
An e-petition has been set up asking the Government to retain the Protestant succession as provided for in the Act of Settlement 1701. Please sign this today

EPS PLANS TO EXPAND INTO GREAT BRITAIN
Although the Evangelical Protestant Society has many supporters throughout the UK and much further afield it is, essentially, a Northern Ireland based organisation. However, in recent years, the Society has increased its profile on the British mainland and we have made some good friends there. In talking to them, there is a feeling that the cause of evangelical Protestantism might be better served across the nation if we were to create structures which would enable EPS to have a formal presence in Great Britain. These plans are still in the early stages of consideration and discussion, but we envisage the establishment of an EPS branch in England, one in Scotland and one in Wales. If anyone is interested, please contact Mr Ian Thompson (Liverpool) on 0151 427 7210, email ianthompson66@gmail.com or Mr Wallace Thompson (Belfast) on 028 9048 1920, mail@ulsterbulwark.org. As these plans develop, we urge all our friends to pray for wisdom and guidance in relation to this matter.
PLEASE NOTE....
Our bank has informed us that, for security reasons, it can no longer accept cheques made payable to "EPS". We would therefore be grateful if you would ensure that all cheques are made payable to the"Evangelical Protestant Society". Thank you for your help in this matter.
