Free Presbyterians warned of Catholic canons in CoI

The Free Presbytery Church of Ulster for years have been saying this would happen eventually and now that it has we have been proven right. I would like to ask those in the church of Ireland who profess to be of the Reformed Protestant Faith what are they going to do now with the 39 Articles of Religion which denounce the Roman Catholic Church as “blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits”?

Next year is the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. When men like Martin Luther left the Church of Rome because of the unscriptural doctrines of Catholicism. Could someone in the Anglican Communion please inform me what doctrines the Church of Rome has changed to reverse the decision now to appoint a Roman Catholic priest as a canon in a Protestant Church?

I fear it is not Rome that is changing but the Anglican church. The Jesuits have done their work well within you.

Today I hear of all these great ministers in the Church of Ireland. Men who I am told are born again and saved and believe in the Protestant faith but they seem to have lost their protest because you never hear a word of condemnation from them when it comes to their church Joining up with Rome.

There seems to be no more Bishops in the Anglican church anymore like Bishop J.C Ryle of Liverpool who continually stood against the false dogmas of Rome and said “that there could be no peace with Rome until Rome made peace with God.”

Protestants within the Church of Ireland waken up for if you don’t very soon you will be sitting in the confessional box confessing your sins to the priests of Rome and partaking in the blasphemous mass – the very things your 39 Articles condemn.
