Who Are the Roman Catholic Jesus and Mary? A Confessional Lutheran Answer

By Karl Schröder

The Catholic Jesus and Mary are supposed to be the same as the Christian Jesus and Mary. However, over the centuries as the devil entered into the Roman church, they have become become less Biblical and more political and their false likenesses have served diabolically to mislead Christians.

Some papists, especially those among the hierarchy of the Catholic church have even been in league with the evil foe.

Many others, especially the so-called Catholic saints have been obsessed or possessed by demons and many, many more were so psychologically unbalanced that they surely would have been locked away in any other place.

The devil cannot work in an environment of truth, he must work in an environment of falsehood.

I examine here just several of the fantastic instances of the Catholic Jesus and the Catholic version of His mother, Mary.

Nothing has been made up or taken out of context: it is all easily researchable for anyone who wants to look into what I have presented.

Where a language translation has had to be made, I have endeavored to do my very best to present accurate and clear wording.

Introduction

I am from Milwaukee. I was born, raised and confirmed a confessional Lutheran in the Missouri Synod. My family went to the Lutheran church regularly and I was sent to a Lutheran grade school. However, a certain misplaced Roman Catholic admiration by my parents was underneath it all. For my mother, this was brought on by Hollywood’s false depiction of the Catholic church in films like Bells of St. Mary’s, Going My Way, The Exorcist, The Omen and others. My father was an ex-Roman Catholic who converted to Lutheranism to marry my mother.

Thanks to this wrongful Catholic admiration, many a day trip was taken to Holy Hill, a popular Roman Catholic shrine just outside Milwaukee, where we kids learned of the healings that had taken place there and viewed the crutches et al left in the main church as testament to those healings. This was indeed impressive to a young man and, though still solidly Lutheran, I wondered?

Years passed and I began to consider being a pastor. Then the bottom fell out: my father died and the family stopped going to church altogether and I with them. I desired to attend church, but was fearful what my family could do to me. Big mistake! All this did was cause me to grow apart from my church and my faith family, a family that had ways of taking care of me that I should have taken advantage of.

Three years later, I met and married my wife who was born and raised a Roman Catholic.

In 1998, I became a Roman Catholic after completing a book detailing the healings at Holy Hill, Wisconsin (Healing at the Hill, Mission Publications, 1998, as Todd R. Lindvig).

Over the next twenty years I was to come to grips with the fact that nearly all the healings and miracles that I detailed were outright fabrications. There are some healings that have occurred at Holy Hill, but these are not healings from God, these are healings from the evil foe and are counterfeit miracles that are imperfect and carry a high price. The wicked foe can make himself appear as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) to draw people away from God and Holy Hill Wisconsin is a perfect example.

Also over the next twenty years, I became aware of the evils, lies counterfeits, falsehoods and the distorted and confused path of salvation propagated in this Catholic church that I became
