A sorry harvest – ‘Rev’ Lorraine Capper preaches in Romanist chapel

Hosea 8:7: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.”

“Sowing the wind” could easily be the description of a sad event which took place at the end of September in a rural townland just over the border in County Monaghan.

An ecumenical harvest service was held in a Romanist chapel on Friday, 27 September in St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Glennan, a small townland between Emyvale and Glaslough, just across the border into the Republic of Ireland.

The preacher for the occasion was a Church of Ireland ‘minister’, a Rev Lorraine Capper.

She is presently the ‘minister’ of a grouped parish in the area, being appointed to lead at St Salvator Parish Church, Donagh in County Fermanagh, St Sillian Parish Church, Tyholland and St Muadhan Parish Church, Errigal Truagh, both in County Monaghan.

Apart from the obvious fact that she ought not to be a ‘minister’, as 1 Timothy 2:12 clearly outlines, ‘Rev’ Lorraine Capper ought not to have been there at all.

To be in St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Glennan, or indeed to be in any house of Papist worship, is to reject the Bible.

We are told in 2 Corinthians 6:17 that we are to “come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing”.

Rome is undoubtedly an unclean thing, in fact it strives to make a virtue of its uncleanness and encourages its adherents to lay up piles of filthy rags to produce to Christ when it comes to the day of judgement.

Isaiah 64:6 tells us that all of our own works and our own efforts to be righteous in of ourselves are nothing but “filthy rags” in the eyes of Christ.

It says: “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”

Despite the fact that “our righteousnesses are as filthy rags”, Rome teaches its followers to keep piling them up, telling them they can earn a place in heaven.

The Catholic Catechism states that all manner of things other than faith alone in Christ alone gets us to heaven.

It says that “baptism is the first and chief sacrament of forgiveness of sins” (paragraph 977) and that “baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed”.

So Rome teaches that baptism is something we can do to attain salvation.

Not only that, they say our good works through observance of the Ten Commandments merits us a place in heaven.

The Roman Catholic Catechism says that “all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observance of the Commandments”.

We cannot observe the Ten Commandments properly, it is impossible to meet the requirements of the Commandments, that is why we need the Grace and mercy of Christ for salvation.

Romans 3:23 reminds us that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”.

Not only does Rome say all these extra things are necessary for salvation, it also pronounces its curse on those who believe faith alone is sufficient for salvation.

The Council of Trent, still the authoritative document of Roman Catholic Church teaching, says in Canon 14: “If any one saith, that man is truly absolved from his sins and justified, because he assuredly believed himself absolved and justified; or, that no one is truly justified but he who believes himself justified; and that, by this faith alone, absolution and justification are effected; let him be anathema”.

“Faith alone” is “anathema” to the Roman Catholic Church.

Yet the Bible teaches we are saved by faith alone and not by our good works, so-called.

Galatians 2:16 says: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”

There is no salvation through the works of the law, we are told here.

But what does Rome say? It says you “may attain salvation through the observance of the Commandments”.

Yet there was ‘Rev’ Lorraine Capper leading an ecumenical harvest service, as it was described on the Church of Ireland Diocese of Clogher’s website, in a church set up specifically to teach a false gospel and deny the all-sufficient death of Christ on Calvary.

‘Rev’ Lorraine Capper serves only to do spiritual damage to all those who attended that service.

Not only is ‘Rev’ Lorraine Capper endorsing the false teachings of Romanism by being there, which means the Roman Catholic faithful in attendance go unwarned about the false teachings of their church, but she is also causing so-called Protestants who attended that service to think there is nothing wrong with mixing with false religion.

Furthermore, while any person bearing the title of minister ought to be not only preaching the true gospel, they ought also to condemn the false gospel others are teaching.

A Romanist priest is teaching a false gospel of salvation by good works and sacramental merit, and ‘Rev’ Lorraine Capper is offending God by encouraging that Romanist priest on in his false teaching.

What a shameful situation that is.

‘Rev’ Lorraine Capper was most assuredly “sowing the wind” and she, too, will “reap the whirlwind”, as will all those who follow her compromising ways.

No good fruit will come of it, but rather this service attempts to make a mockery of God and His Word.

However, we have a wonderful assurance in Galatians 6:7 that “God is not mocked”.

The verse continues, though, and says that “whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.

As we are in the harvest season, what seed are you sowing in your life? Are you mocking God, as it were, by defying Him and His offer of salvation by His free grace?

Have you came to Christ for forgiveness, for salvation?

To be saved, you do not need to be a fully paid-up member of a church, you do not have to follow a set of man-made rules, you need only to repent of your sins and call on Chirist for salvation.

Romans 10:13: “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

1 John 1:8-9: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Church of Ireland in County Monaghan welcomes Romish priest who ‘failed to prevent clerical sex abuse’ into its midst

The Church of Ireland in the town of Clones last night held a ‘community event’ at which Bishop Joseph Duffy (pictured, top) was one of the invited guests.

Bishop Joseph Duffy was the Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher until his retirement in 2010 and a damning report by the Irish National Board for Safeguarding Children later found that he “failed to prevent clerical sex abuse and did not remove suspected paedophile priests from the ministry”, a Belfast Telegraph report says.

It also says there was “an unacceptable delay” in taking action against one priest, while it was also reported that Bishop Joseph Duffy’s delay came despite concerns being raised of a “credible allegation” in his Clogher diocese.

The event last night in St Tighernagh’s Parish Church was “to remember St Tighernagh, his ministry and his significance to the cross border parish and to the Diocese of Clogher and Clones”, according to the Diocese of Clogher’s website.

The notice further pointed out that in attendance would be “Bishop Joseph Duffy” and the “Bishop of Clogher, the Right Reverend (Right Eejit!) John McDowell”.

Right Eejit John McDowell (pictured, below) is a noted ecumenist and makes sure to be on close terms with the Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher, attending various events with him and each year producing a joint Christmas message.

Indeed, even though there was no Bishop of Clogher in place at Christmas past following the retirement of the previous incumbent, Right Eejit John McDowell felt the need to issue an ecumenical Christmas message of fluffy pseudo-Christianity with some emissary of Romanist deceit.

His Papal pal last Christmas was ‘Monsignor’ Joseph McGuinness, Diocesan Administrator of Clogher.

And when the previous Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher, Liam MacDaid retired, Right Eejit John McDowell issued a valedictory statement describing the Romanist priest as his “brother in Christ” and it had been “the greatest privilege to have served our Lord Jesus Christ together”.

They may well have served the same god together, but it most certainly was not the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God of heaven.

It was certainly not the risen Christ, who shed His blood at Calvary so that we might come to Him for forgiveness of our sins and be saved from a lost eternity.

And if Right Eejit John McDowell considers Romanists, presumably including this Bishop Joseph Duffy, to be his “brothers in Christ” then we are led to the conclusion that he must believe and be teaching and preaching “another gospel”.

We should not be surprised that ministers are departing from the gospel, as we are warned of it in God’s Word.

2 Timothy 4:3-4: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

2 Peter 2:1-2: “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”

Is not the way of truth being spoken of in an evil manner these days? Is not bitter being put for sweet, and sweet for bitter?

Are we not told that homosexuality is now acceptable, nay, commendable? The Bible has a different view (Romans 1:21-27; Leviticus 18:22).

Are we not told that the murder of unborn children is an acceptable ‘lifestyle choice’? The Bible has a different view (Psalm 139:13-16).

Are we not told how vital it is that Ulster must be jointly governed by murderers and their apologists? The Bible has a different view (Exodus 20:13).

Are we not told that we must join with other churches, regardless of traditional fundamental theological differences, in the name of unity? The Bible has a different view (Ephesians 5:11).

Just because we should not be surprised, it does not mean that we should be silent.

Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, exhorted Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2 to “be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine”.

He didn’t tell Timothy to be faithful when the going is good and the people are receptive to the message, he was to preach the gospel “out of season”, whenever he was not to receive such a friendly response.

That is certainly the age in which we are living today.

Jude v 3 says that “ye should earnestly contend for the faith”.

There was absolutely no earnest contention for the faith in that church in Clones in County Monaghan last night.

Were there any, they would not have invited along a Papal bishop found to have “failed to prevent clerical sex abuse” and an Anglican bishop who denies the gospel of Christ by calling himself a spiritual brother of a man who has devoted his life to propagating the lies and deceits of the Roman Catholic system, a system which leads lost souls to just one place – hell.

If you are involved with or have loved ones involved with the apostate churches, please follow Christ’s call to “come out from among them, and be ye separate”.

And if you aren’t saved, then call on the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness “and thou shalt be saved”.
