DOES RICK WARREN WANT YOU TO “COME HOME” TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
By Amy Spreeman (Aspreeman’s Archives )
You’ve heard about the Purpose Driven Life for Catholics, but did you ever think it would lead to a major evangelization project by the Church of Rome that targets Protestant Christians?
Catholics Come Home: God’s Extraordinary Plan for Your Life is the name of a new book that is taking Rome and the world by storm, with this incredible endorsement by Rick Warren, which signals a troubling shift toward embracing this new project:
Make no mistake; this Catholics Come Home movement is not just to bring “lapsed Catholics” into the system of Rome. ( see The Eucharest: the New Evangelization targets you, Christian!) It’s target is everyone, including Bible-believing Christians. The project’s founder, Tom Peterson, has opened the doors to entice Protestants and people of other faiths to Catholicism:
The movement officially kicked off in 2011 with a 3.5 million prime-time television campaign aimed at drawing more people to the church of Rome. The marketing reach of these ads in the first three weeks was 250 million television viewers in over 10,000 U.S. cities and every diocese throughout the United States. With the release of the Catholics Come Home book this spring, there is a renewed push to get the word out of Rick Warren’s involvement, as this video promotion reveals:
Rick Warren’s partnership with Roma Downey in the minisieries, The Bible was troubling enough, but the millions of viewers who tuned in also were targeted in the Catholics Come Home commercial campaign when it aired earlier this year on The History Channel:
Other endorsements for the book
Let me pause there and add that this last testimonial from Dr. Peter Kreeft is interesting, as he has been quoted in a 2010 book titled Natural Law by Robert Morey:
“…explicit knowledge of the incarnate Jesus is not necessary for salvation.” ~ Peter Kreeft (page 355, Natural Law, published 2010 Xulon Press)
“We are in the midst of a New Evangelization; and I believe this book is a signal moment in its success. It is also a sign that will lead many folks back home to the family of God, which is Catholic Church,” —Dr. Scott W. Hahn, author of The Lamb’s Supper and Signs of Life (former Protestant turned Catholic “evangelist”)
“Catholics Come Home inspires each of us to share God’s love with others, in order to help change the world for the better, for eternity!” – Roma Downey, actress and co-producer of the History Channel series The Bible.
Recently Roma Downey acquired a Master of Spiritual Psychology (New Age) degree at University of Santa Monica. New Age leaders at the school include Deepak Chopra, Barry Siegel (promoted in Purpose Driven Life)], Neil Donald Walsh, and Michael Beckwith. (Source)

Does Rick Warren’s endorsement of this new book and the RCC really surprise anyone?

Nope, none of the true believers I have spoken to. However, of course there are those who have had no idea of this intensive co-operation before, and who, like Rick Warren himself, have been blissfully unaware of how they are being used to facilitate an evil agenda. And then, of course, there are also those who believe that Rick Warren, together with the Pope, are actually representative of the Christian faith.

Does anyone remember when Chuck Colson died? I stumbled onto a watchman’s blurb which stated that he stepped up to the podium to speak and was literally knocked or smitten down with a stroke TEN YEARS TO THE DAY when his book ‘Catholics and Evangelicals together” was published. “God is NOT mocked, whatsoever a man soweth he shall reap”. Woe, woe, woe. “Flee the wrath to come.”
