Paisley Calls for Unity

Paisley Calls for Unity


Rev Ian Paisley appears to have moth balled his robes of evangelical Protestantism and is clothed now in the rags of compromise. He has led his church and party into deep confusion and overpowering loss by turning from past principles of the Reformed Faith, to champion unity with error.

How can ordinary, right thinking people, whether catholic, protestant, or of whatever religious persuasion, accept any form of political power sharing arrangement and equality legislation, when one particular section of society is persecuted, disadvantaged and subjected to an avowed terrorist threat.

This disadvantaged group belongs to the Reformed Faith; these people are the objects of abject hatred and murderous intent, according to the words of the Sinn Fein oath. This oath, taken from the internet, states:-

"I swear by Almighty God, by all Heaven, by the Holy and Blessed prayer book, of the Roman Catholic Church, by the Holy Virgin Mary Mother of God, by her bitter tears and wailing’s, by St Patrick, our Blessed and adorable Host, the Rosary to fight until we die in the field of red gore of the Saxon tyrants and murderers.

Of our glorious nationality, if spared to fight until not a single trace is left to tell that the Holy soil of Ireland was trodden by these Heretics. Also these Protestant robbers and brutes, these unbelievers of our faith, will be driven into the sea, by fire, the knife or by poison cup until we of the Catholic faith and avowed defenders of the Sinn Fein action and Principles, clear these Heretics from our lands.

Age is not to be considered in our blessed deeds of extermination of Brutes who in ages past have robbed our churches. We must shed streams of blood of these tyrants to again claim our Holy places.Report to our Blessed priests regularly upon all works and business transactions. Any cost we must work in secret, using any method of deception to gain our ends, towards the destruction of all Protestants and the advance of the Priesthood and the Catholic faith.

Our Beloved Ireland has been held in chains by these cursed foreign tyrants for ages, now we can see the end of their power.We must strike at every opportunity using all methods of causing ill felling within the Protestant ranks, and in their business. The employment of any means will be Blessed by our earthly fathers the Priests, thrice Blessed by His Holiness the Pope.

Scotland must also be swept clean of their accursed beliefs by the extermination of all Masonic and all such bodies as do not accept our creed must perish, as before the days of the accursed Reformation.So shall we of the Roman Catholic Church and faith destroy with smiles and Thanksgiving to our Holy Father all who reject our beliefs. So help me God."

Now Free Presbyterianism, together with its political wing and former moderator, appears to propping up devolved government, by uniting with those that have not renounced, repudiated or condemned this heinous oath.

This long standing oath can only be viewed as bigoted, racist, murderous, intolerant, discriminatory, inhumane and barbaric in the extreme; it is nothing more than incitement to hatred. How could, anyone belonging to, associated with, or sympathetic to the Reformed Faith, be identified with any semblance of unity under the shadow of such a vile oath?
