PER:Vandals deface church sign
From the American Newspaper (Thurs., Sept. 14, 1989) we learn that in
Wolcott, Connecticut, "a sign advertising a church mission was found
defaced Wednesday with the number 666--the Biblical `number of the
beast'--spray-painted across it. The plywood sign, which the St. Maria
Goretti Church posted on a telephone pole to promote a parish mission
at the church next week, was apparently vandalized Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning. `It's just one of those things,' said the Rev.
Harold Heinrich, the church's pastor. `You can't stop people like
that, unfortunately.'"
The thing you want to notice about this article is the private comment
by the private interpreting staff reporter, whose name is Michael
Rappoport. At the end of the article, after telling his people that
"in the book of Revelation, the number 666 represents the beast, who
is an agent of the Antichrist," he says this: "Incidents of possible
cult activity have been reported recently in Waterbury, Naugatuck, and
Salisbury, but most officials and church members do not think the
Wolcott vandalism is an indication that a cult has started operating
in town." That is in Wolcott. Notice what the press gets away with.
You are being told here that if anybody associated 666 with the Roman
Catholic church, they have to be a member of a "cult."
That would include the Bogomiles of the ninth century, the Paulicians
of the fifth century, the Lollards of the fourteenth century, and all
of the major reformers of the sixteenth century. That is the present
condition of your news media.
