- WAR:The Excommunication of Albert Rivera by Charles H. Shofstahl
-
- I want to let you know about Dr. Alberto Rivera, the ex-Jesuit
- priest who has been so promoted by Chick Publication in their comics,
- etc. People need to be made aware that on July 16, 1989, Alberto
- Rivera was removed from his pastorate and excommunicated from his
- church, the Los Angeles Christiana do Los Angeles, by unanimous vote of
- the congregation. Letter from the church had been sent to him dated
- May 21, June 11 and June 18, 1989, asking him to appear before the
- church and give account and make restitution for debts he has incurred
- that had been signed for by Christian bretheren in good faith. Part of
- the money was used for radio and TV broadcasts, and part for
- automobiles, mobil homes, and a quanity of folding chairs (500 to be
- exact). Rivera's behaviour established him as a swindler and a
- deceiver, according to the letter informing him and the public of his
- dismissal from the pastorate and excommunication from the church.
- Among these whom he swindled are: Donald Blanton, Carlos Orea,
- Francisco Javier Narvaez, Daniel Soria, Abraham Valdivia, and Ismael
- Guerrero, M.D.
-
- This letter is among a packet of documents sent to me by Donald
- Blanton, who had been administrator of the Antichrist Information
- Center, established and run by Alberto Rivera. Blanton asked me to
- warn others not to support Alberto Rivera, for he is an unconverted
- man. The problem is that so many are too anxious to receive people
- such as Alberto Rivera, who have professed to have left the Roman
- Catholic priesthood, and want to support these peolpe in exposing the
- Romanist institution as the whore of Revelation 17. They cast aside
- any reservations and wholeheartedly accept the claims of these men, and
- they are thus easily deceived.
-
- Of course, Alberto Rivera is not claiming that Donald Blanton, who
- left the Roman Catholic institution about five years ago, is actually
- an infiltrator trying to destroy a good work. I would vouch for
- Blanton.
