As a Protestant Evangelical Christian, I have often looked at the Catholic Church with a certain level of skepticism. The rituals, the hierarchy, the traditions — they all seem so far removed from the simplicity of the Gospel. Yet, with the recent election of Pope Leo XIV, something has caught my attention. Born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, the first American pope is also a citizen of Peru (this I thought was great since I am also a Peruvian as well as having been raised in the U.S since I was a kid). His background is unique, but what truly stands out to me as a follower of Jesus Christ is his emphasis on putting Christ first. In his inaugural speech from the Vatican balcony, Pope Leo XIV declared: “We…

Whle browsing around Yout Tube with my wife recently looking for a nice Christian documentary to enjoy, we stumbled into this one. It looked interesting and since we are big fans of documentaries and offcourse our love for Jesus Christ, that seemed like a nice watch to enjoy. Little did we know we were wrong. While watching this so called “documentary” Bible Secrets Revealed from the History Channel, we started to notice the narrative of the people in the videos, these so called scholars who started to make comments about the Gospel, New and Old Testament that didn’t really make sense in truth.

While walking past a well-known bookstore during the Mother’s Day season, I stopped to look at their front window display with my wife. Dozens of books, colorful and full of emotional messages, were proudly showcased. But as I examined the content with spiritual discernment, what I saw was deeply troubling: a clear and growing spiritual deception in our modern culture. God without Christ. Faith without the Cross. False Light in Plain Sight. One book caught my eye: “New Scientific Evidence of the Existence of God” by José Carlos González-Hurtado. As a committed Evangelical Protestant Christian, I initially hoped it might be similar to books by Lee Strobel or J. Warner Wallace — books that defend the Christian faith with clarity and boldness. I bought it with that expectation. Also with the excitement…

In the recent film Conclave, Hollywood once again reveals its agenda to undermine and attacking traditional Christian values under the guise of progressive storytelling. The film portrays a fictional papal election that ultimately results in a woman who presents herself as a man being elected as the Pope. This narrative, presented as a moral and virtuous outcome, is a blatant distortion of biblical principles and a clear insult to Catholicism and Christianity as a whole. As an evangelical Protestant Christian, I found this portrayal deeply offensive, not only to the Catholic Church but to all who hold to biblical truth. It is not surprising that Hollywood would craft such a narrative, given its ongoing pattern of promoting anti-Christian ideologies, but the brazenness with which it is done in Conclave is particularly alarming. The…
