One of my greatest honors as Vice President was the hour I spent with Pope Francis at the Vatican in January 2020. @KarenPence<\/a> and I join Catholics around the world Praying for this humble and godly man. God Bless the Holy Father\ud83d\ude4f pic.twitter.com\/4TNWQi9Ksq<\/a><\/p>\n

I have heard from people in my theological circles that you were truly a Christian. You even attended a church pastored by a friend of mine. To see you affirm Roman Catholicism and say the man who thinks he is Head of the Church and the Vicar (substitute) of Christ on earth is\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Holy Father\u201d? Your entire political career you have been promoting yourself as an \u201cEvangelical champion\u201d. You are in zero way Evangelical, let alone Biblically Christian, if you consider the pope \u201cHoly Father\u201d.

Only the enemy of the Gospel calls someone on earth, \u201cfather\u201d\u2014let alone holy father. Your Father is in heaven, if you have ever known Him.<\/p>\n

Guess what?
Any faith which deviates from the tenant of salvation by faith alone in Christ alone is considered a cult. <\/p>\n

If the Roman mother-son cult deviates from that orthodoxy\u2013 and it has and does\u2013 then what we have is a cult, not a denominational difference.<\/p>\n

Disagree?
Then\u2026<\/p>\n

In case you’ve forgotten, Mike, the Protestant Reformation happened because of the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

Mr Pence, would the Mike Pence of 2014 have done this or not? You need to do some serious soul searching, because the man that my Indianan friends praised when I was in college is somewhat a different picture than what I saw (and voted for once) in White House office and after.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one Holy Father, Mike. And I\u2019m pretty sure He doesn\u2019t dress like that.<\/p>\n

This is why so many Christians like me have lost respect for you. What kind of a Christian refers to any man as “the Holy Father?” That’s blasphemous! God alone is our Holy Father. To pin that label on a false teacher of another religion is very wrong. Why would you do that?<\/p>\n

Mike, Roman Catholicism is the greatest counterfeit of Bible Christianity in all of history. Please don\u2019t call him holy father. <\/p>\n

He is not “The Holy Father.” Catholics and Christians are not the same thing Mr. Vice President. Do not get them confused. He also is not godly. He actively supports LGBT.<\/p>\n

Um, he\u2019s a heretic, Mike.<\/p>\n

As a Protestant Christian, I would think you would know this.<\/p>\n

It is a shame that you profess to be a True Christian and then post something like this. Either you are naive or an imposter. The Pope is not a Christian and by you posting this it makes you suspect too.<\/p>\n
