PAS:Resolution passed by American Council of Christian Churches 10/89

   The following is a resolution passed by The American Council of
Christian Churches meeting in Kingsport, Tennessee, on October 24-26,
1989.

   "Resolution #7, Response To Roman Catholic Attack Upon Bible
Believers. Whereas, newspapers report that Roman Catholic bishops of
Alabama and Mississippi have issued a pastoral letter comparing
Biblical Fundamentalism to Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany and the
Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran:

   "Whereas, this Roman Catholic pronouncement, according to the
newspapers, accused Fundamentalism of being a danger because it
believes in an individual and literal interpretation of scripture which
contrasts the Roman Catholic belief that scripture cannot stand apart
from the church community...."

   Then they are firmly resolved that the American Council of Christian
Churches reaffirms its Biblical position that God has magnified His
word above the church (Ps. 138:2). It's a pity that CBS, NBC, ABC and
the Gannett newspapers don't have a "fairness doctrine" practice where
an opposing view is permitted to be printed so the public gets more
than one view.

   Following the pronouncement by the Roman Catholic bishops of Alabama
and Mississippi that Biblical Fundamentalism is like Adolf Hitler's
Nazi Germany should be a note in every newspaper in America stating
that during the holocaust, Roman Catholic Adolf Hitler had a concordat
with the Roman Catholic Pope--throughout the entire operation. Also,
every leader in the Nazi party including Joseph Goebbels, Hermann
Goering, and Heinrich Himmler were baptized and confilmed Catholics,
including their leader himself.
