It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist, and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the Popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name.
It wounds Christ, robs Christ of His glory, puts sacramental efficacy in the place of His atonement, and lifts a piece of bread in the place of the Saviour. . . .
If we pray against it, because it is against Him, we shall love the persons though we hate their errors; we shall love their souls though we loathe and detest their dogmas. . . .
—Charles Haddon Spurgeon1
I’m eradicating the word Protestant even out of my vocabulary. . . . I[’m] not protesting anything . . . [it’s] time for Catholics and non-Catholics to come together as one in the Spirit and one in the Lord.
—Paul Crouch on TBN2
It’s time for Protestants to go to the shepherd [the pope] and say, “What do we have to do to come home?”
—Robert Schuller3
