  • Eritrea Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 27 April 2010
    Eritrea Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 27 April 2010 Are Catholics allowed to practice their religion freely in Eritrea? The Executive Summary (paragraph 1) of a report published by the Institute on Religion and Public Policy states: The status of Religious Freedom in Eritrea is atrocious. While a 1997 Constitution provides protections for freedom of religion and conscience, this Constitution has not been implemented. The country only recognizes 4 religious groups: the Eritrean Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Eritrea, Islam, and the Roman Catholic Church. Members of unregistered religious groups face harassment, imprisonment, torture, and, in some cases, death at the hands of state authorities. Even members of registered religious groups face harassment, imprisonment, and interference from the government. The religious freedom situation in Eritrea is widely recognized by both governmental and non-government actors and agencies to be among the worst in the world. (Institute on Religion and Public Policy (2009) Religious Freedom in Eritrea, p.1) In a section titled Government Interference and Abuses of Registered Religious Groups (paragraph 8) this report states: The government interferes in the everyday workings of registered religious groups at the highest levels. The Eritrean Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Eritrea, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Muslim community in Eritrea have all faced abuses and interference in their religious affairs at the hands of the government. The government required all four of the officially registered to submit reports on the sources of their funding as well as complete list of personnel and property.

  • The Broken Cross
    THE BROKEN CROSS BY PIERS COMPTON (1984) This book was written in the early 1980's by a Catholic layman alarmed at the direction of the post Vatican II church. The author makes well supported charges the uppermost offices of the Church have been infiltrated by Luciferian Secret Societies, and that the problem is not confined to liberal prelates. He provides evidence that John XXIII and Paul VI were likely members of secret cults, and that John Paul I was murdered. Such is likely to be disturbing to Catholics who put their trust in the Roman Curia.
