The Question Catholics Must Ask Sarah Palin
By Frank Cocozzelli Mon Oct 06, 2008 at 07:28:36 PM EST print story

Bruce Wilson and Ruth have reported here at Talk to Action about Alaskan Governor and GOP Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin's ties to the Wasila Assemblies of God Church, a congregation involved with the Latter Rain (aka the New Apostolic Reformation) - an international network that views Catholicism as one of several "corrupt religious systems."

Ruth reports that Sarah Palin has been the subject of "impartations of anointing" on at least four publicly documented occasions by leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) For three of these occasions there are pictures or video -- including one picture posted on the State of Alaska official website. Recently released video footage for example, revealed an October 2005 ceremony at the Wasilla Assembly of God (pastored by Ed Kalnins) -- in which then-gubernatorial candidate Sarah Palin was anointed and blessed at the church by a top NAR leader, Bishop Thomas Muthee. Participants believe that these rituals feature the transference of spiritual powers.

On one of these occasions, the anointing was conducted by none other than Thomas Muthee, the internationally known star of the Transformation I video and numerous books and other materials on the methods of spiritual warfare - which generally refers to the expulsion of "territorial demons and generational curses." There are many published photos and videos of Palin that feature pastors and churches associated with the NAR. We can reasonably ask, whether Muthee's anointing involved the transference of anti-demonic powers, and whether those powers might be seen as necessary to combat Catholicism.

3. Actually what is the point of this? Catholicism only promotes tolerance b/c it has to.

Seriously, the history of the Catholic church is intolerance. As a Catholic person I can attest that for us there is only OTR. There are no other's and as such most others are viewed as in some way believing in false gods, even other Christian faiths.

Now, of course that movement has changed there is normally mutual tolerance and even appreciations by Catholics for other churches, but still this sense of OTR is very poignant. The way the NAR acts is like old school Catholic faith----I think the main issue for the Catholics is the fact that they have made some traction and has invaded their territory.

Overall, yes I do think that there is some thing to truly fear with Muthee and his faith beause what has done in this day and age to people and promoting oppression. I can't deny that and if Palin strongly supports that faith, strong enough that she converted for it. Then I can't have her as one of their members a leader of our nation. That is beyond frightful because I can see internment like camps all over the US of Alaska (once she presides over the nation). It's terrifying really. Religion is one thing a pastor's words are a another thing. There's one thing when a pastor just throws out his angst over serious things in history. It's all together different to brand someone as evil and aim to destroy them for it.
