The species or outward semblance of bread and wine alone remaining. They may still look like bread and wine, taste like bread and wine, feel like bread and wine, and smell like bread and wine but, according to Rome, that is only an outward semblance, they have really become the body and blood of Christ. In 431 A. D. the Roman Catholic Church adopted the worship of Mary. I have in hand an article that contains a message from the current papa of Rome.

It is not the purpose of this article to expose the errors of Rome, but, its purpose is to show why no organization which claims to be Christian should form any kind of an alliance with Rome. It is not surprising to this editor, however, to read of the alliances of PKs and Rome. First, though he is no longer an active Roman Catholic, Coach Bill McCartney was reared Catholic, was an active Catholic, and has never renounced that heretical religion. Vatican II was a council calling for a more ecumenical attitude among Roman Catholics. I don't think the leaders of Promise Keepers have it in their heart or mind to exclude Catholic men from participation, or to encourage them to leave the Roman Catholic church.
