“Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday outlined his most tangible initiative yet to try to revive Christianity, creating a Vatican office for re-evangelizing Europe and other traditionally Christian regions where the faith is falling by the wayside.
In an official decree, Benedict said the new office would work with bishops to promote church doctrine, use modern communication methods to get the church’s message out and mobilize missionary-type activities using members of religious orders and new religious movements… Benedict has made reviving Europe’s Christian roots a priority of his papacy and has concentrated his foreign travels on the continent” (Associated Press, October 12, 2010). In recent years, the Vatican and the Pope have worked hard to reintegrate the “church” into the European fabric, including seeking greater prominence in the EU.
Bible prophecies reveal that a great mother church will play a major role in end-time events (Revelation 13:11-16; see Revelation 17). The foundation for the church’s role in the coming European Beast power will be “strengthened” in Europe in the days ahead!
