PAGE 13—The Georgia Bulletin, August 18,1983 Catholics, T.V. Evangelists Criticized At Bob Jones Congress BY JOHN CONICK GREENVILLE, S.C. (NC) - Catholics were condemned and Protestant TV evangelists criticized by the World Congress of Fundamentalists headed by the Rev. Bob Jones Jr. and the Rev. Ian Paisley, Northern Irish Protestant activist. Nearly 2,000 people participated in the congress held at Bob Jones University in Greenville, July 29-Aug. 7. The Catholic Church was called “mother of harlots and abominations of the earth” in a resolution. Responding to a press inquiry, Msgr. Thomas R. Duffy, vicar general of the Charleston Diocese, said, “It kind of hurts to feel that there is a group of people these days who are so unaware of the teachings of the church and the witness to the gifts of Christ. “We not only believe in the Bible, but our whole tradition has been the preservation of the Bible, which is the word of God,” he said. Mr. Paisley, who had once been denied a visa to the United States, said only the King James version of the Bible is true. In order to obtain his visa, he had to promise the State Department that he would not make any political-statements. In the congress’ closing address, Mr. Paisley said the fundamentalists would “continue to proclaim” the Bible. “We read it as our marching orders in the age of battle. Bless God, we wield it like our sword.” A resolution passed by the congress, a loose affiliation of independent churches and mission boards, said, “The worldwide visits of the pope surrounded by the false charisma attributed to him by the corrupted media are but a subtle window dressing behind which lies the unchanging hatred of that system for true biblical Protestant Christianity.” Another resolution said that the popular TV evangelists were “out of step” with a literal translation of the Bible. The evangelists “are involved in apostasy or compromise with it.” Apostasy is abandonment of faith or principles. Paisley called the TV evangelists “modernist preachers” and “the devil’s brats.” 'Faith-Healer' Archbishop Resigns BENDING THE RULES - Despite posted “no fishing” signs around a lake at the Holy Ghost Monastery in Conyers, Ga., some boys know, that if you ask the right monk you can get permission. The monks, after all, were once boys, too. (NC Photo by Roger W. Neal) BY NANCY FRAZIER VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II accepted the resignation Aug. 6 of an African archbishop who claims to be a faith healer and named him to a newly created post at the Vatican. The Vatican announcement of the resignation of Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo as head of the Archdiocese of Lusaka, Zambia, and his appointment as “special delegate” to the Pontifical Commission for Migration and Tourism signaled the end of a more than 16-month Vatican investigation of the archbishop.

Church sources said he had traveled to Lusaka to collect his belongings for a definitive move to Rome. No successor was immediately named for the Lusaka Archdiocese. Archbishop Elias Mutale of Kasama, Zambia, has been apostolic administrator of Lusaka for more than a year. The Vatican gave no details about Archbishop Milingo’s new post at the Pontifical Commission for Migration and Tourism, but sources said the archbishop would probably be required to live at the Vatican.
