Address by Pope John Paul I, at the shrine of St. John Neumann, Oct. '79.
"I have come to pray at the tomb of St. John Neumann, a zealous missionary
and dedicated pastor. I am reminded of St. John Neumann's love for Christ.
From childhood he used to pray, 'Jesus for you I want to live; for you I want
to die; I want to be all yours in life and death'."

Rev. Neumann, author of the The Development of the Christian Religion
stated on pg. 359: "Temples, incense, candles, votive offerings, holy
water, holidays sacerdotal vestments, priests, nuns, images etc. are all
of pagan origin. They worship relics as pagans did: a portion of Jesus
blood a bottle of Mary's milk, Jesus' tears. Why do the people believe
this? They are taught to receive tradition and the Church's word as final
authority above Bible."
We invite you to be converted to the true Christ of the Bible, who alone
can FORGIVE your sins, give you never ending life, become your only mediator,
make you a new person, and present you faultless before the Father in glory.
