A Woman Rides the Beast: The Roman Catholic Church and the Last Days

The reviewers who slam Hunt for writing a "boogeyman book" and for "Catholic-bashing" obviously don't know what they are talking about.

I only hope that this work and others by Mr. Hunt will shed some light to Christians who are seeking answers and will finally bring misguided Catholics (or ex-Catholics) out of the dark.

The truth often hurts, as is obvious with this book. Being a born-again Christian, I can understand that this is a hard pill to swallow when you've been taught your whole life that the Catholic Church is the 'only' religion. I was raised around all the Catholics, and even went to church with them sometimes, and never heard a moving, life changing sermon. I saw a lot of rituals, dipping fingers into 'holy water', bowing before entering the pew, puppeting various phrases in response to the priests' words. Even the Bible writes to be careful of saying the same words over and over like a parrot so that it becomes meaningless. I got saved when I was 16 yrs old, I heard the truth and I knew that accepting Jesus in my heart was what I needed. Our family never went to church when I was a kid, though mom taught us about right and wrong from a Godly perspective. There are many faulty doctrines in Catholocism, especially when you can do 'penance' to get into heaven, or 'pay' someone to pull you out of the fires of purgatory (which is totally unbiblical) "It is appointed unto man once to die, then the judgement" Hebrews 9:27 Why did Jesus have to come and suffer a horrible death if we could get to heaven BY OUR OWN WORKS!!!!!! If we could "pay", or we can 'confess', or say prayers to an earthly woman (Mary) and expect her to hear us all as if she were a god, this all gives Christ a slap in the face. The info in this book is well documented, and has been verified through many authors. A great read is '50 years in the church of Rome' by Charles Chiniquy, he's an ex-priest who was TRYING to serve God in the midst of a religion that never addressed the priests getting drunk, sleeping with the nuns or the priests own confessors, as you can see whats happening now with the pedophilia that the church never addresses, only takes the guilty priests and puts them across the country. They don't inform them that it's against Gods law to hurt young children like that???? How can anyone call that a Christian institution. This book speaks for itself when you look at the state of the Catholic church today. It's a 'feel good' religion, live like you please, then come to church, do your confession, say your penance, make a few signs of the cross on your body and you FEEL like everything is OK, think again!!. Also go to the website chick.com. It was started by Alberto Rivera, an EX-JESUIT PRIEST that tells you what he was taught, and their mission here on earth, and it certainly wasn't Peace and Love. They eventually killed him for his defection. When you read Chiniquy or Rivera's account, you see that they give all the glory to God, and don't focus on themselves. the Bible states in 1 Cor 2:14 'For the natural man receives not the things of God, neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned'. You have to re-awaken your spirit, it's naturally dead from our sin nature passed from Adam, then you will understand God, for He is spirit. Read this book!

Mr. Hunt's book is well researched and excellent in its content. I attended a Catholic all boy's school for 12 years in the 50's. We were told then that it was a mortal sin to eat meat on Fri., have a King James Bible or set foot in a protestant church. We were encouraged to pray to Mary to intercede for us with Jesus Christ. At the back of the missal, Mass Prayer book, there were indulgences in parenthesis (example 300 days) for saying the rosary or certain prayers. I always wondered and still do who in the Vatican decided how many indulgences (days off in Purgatory) you got for saying certain prayers?

Please Catholics read your Bible and do independent research from several sources, such as Mr. Hunt's book, as to the accuracy of Roman Catholic teachings. The truth hurts but its an apostate church. I would have saved myself and my family a lot of grief if I had recognized this 40 years ago.

Excellent book! Dave Hunt is an excellent author that researches and documents all of the false teachings of the Catholic Church. The book leads people to read the bible and to plainly show that you can not rely on the Church to get you to heaven. Only through Jesus!

This book brings to the light all of the mistakes and hidden sins of the church of Rome. Fully of documentation and references , this book explain who the church of Rome fits perfectly in 'THE GREAT BABYLON' OF REVELATION 17 & 18. All the christians should read this book, to be aware of the danger of ECUMENISM and the PAPACY.
