Brannon Howse: March 6, 2015

Guest: Former Catholic Priest of 22 years, Richard Bennett is our guest. Mr. Bennett was educated at the Belvedere Jesuit School. Eight years of theological instruction for the priesthood followed under the instruction of the Dominican Order with his formal education culminating in 1964 at the Angelicum University of Rome. Mr. Bennett has two books published by Banner of Truth, the ministry of Iain Murray. Mr. Bennett has produced a documentary on the Inquisition. Topic: Mr. Bennett explains the research that reveals that 40-45 million Christians were killed during the formal Inquisition and another 5 to 10 million were killed before the formal Inquisition for a historically documented number of 50 million. This is the number we have reported and we have been including the numbers of the Thirty Year War and Hundred Year War as our radio description of February 27, 2015 details and we have not added the numbers of the Crusades to the historical accounting given by numerous credible sources such as Halley’s Handbook. Topic: Mr. Bennett talks about the detailed records that the Vatican kept on the people they murdered during the Inquisition. Topic: Just because we believe some people are misquoting historical facts does not mean we have called anyone a Romanist sympathizer. What we have stated is that we do not want to see evangelicals inadvertently helping improve the murderous image of the Vatican particularly as the 500 year anniversary of the Reformation is marked in 2017. Topic: Mr. Bennett explains that the terror of the Inquisition was so great that he did not include pictures of some of the torture devices in his DVD documentary. Topic: Mr. Bennett reports that Hitler killed 11 million Jews and non-Jews in 6 years and thus for the Church of Rome to kill around 45 million in the formal Inquisition is very plausible. Topic: Mr. Bennett explains why he rejected the false gospel of Rome. Topic: Mr. Bennett explains what a concordat is and how the Vatican has signed such a concordat with 179 nations. Why does this have prophetic significance as we see in Revelation 17? Topic: Mr. Bennett discusses how the Vatican worked with Nazi Germany. Topic: We take your calls.
