Pope Francis consecrated Russia, Ukraine, and all of humanity to the Virgin Mary’s immaculate heart on Friday, March 25, 2022. Pastor Danielle Benini, a Seventh-day Adventist, welcomed local Catholic leaders to his church the next day, on Saturday, March 26, 2022, for an ecumenical prayer service for peace in Ukraine. Pastor Danielle Benini is the Ministerial Director of the Italian Union of Seventh-day Adventist Churches [1] and also serves as the pastor of the Adventist Church in Gaeta, Italy.
Instead of speaking out against this global push toward spiritualism and communication with the dead, Seventh-day Adventists opened their churches in an act of ecumenism to provide a platform for the continuation of these abominable prayers to the dead as all of the Catholic cardinals, bishops, and priests joined Pope Francis in dedicating the world to the Virgin Mary.
The first Catholic priest that attended the Seventh-day Adventist Church on Saturday for the ecumenical prayer for peace in the Ukraine was Antonio Cairo, who serves as a priest at the Parish of Santa Albina Vergine Martire. [2] He is also the Director of Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue for the Archdiocese of Gaeta. [3] The second priest was Stefano Castaldi, who serves the parish of Santo Stefano Protomartire. [4]
The local media published two announcements. First it announced the Pope’s consecration service on Friday, March 25, 2022 and next to this, as a continuation to the consecration ceremony, was the Adventist ecumenical prayer service announcing that Catholic leadership would continue praying on Saturday, March 26, at the Gaeta Seventh-day Adventist Church. The local news also made the following statement:
In the name of the “same Christian faith”, they held this ecumenical service “together”? The theological beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists and Roman Catholics are not the same. Why are they being referred to as the same? One is intended to be based on human traditions, while the other is supposed to be based on God’s word. Is it because we are now part of the “same Christian religion” that we are welcoming Roman Catholic clergy into our churches? If Adventists are not supposed to be in opposition to the Holy Scriptures, then why are we one and the same with Rome?“Saturday 26 March 2022 united prayer for peace to all men of good will. The event was held in the Adventist Church of Gaeta by them and by the Diocesan Commission of Gaeta for Ecumenism, Interreligious Dialogue and New Religions. Together in the name of the same Christian faith so that the beloved land of Europe may rediscover dialogue and peace. It is the wish of all of us.” [5]
The local news then issued the following disturbing message:“God has servants to whom he has entrusted a solemn, fearful message, to bring out and fit up a people for the coming of Christ. There is as great a difference in our faith and that of nominal professors, as the heavens are higher than the earth” (Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, p. 299).
“The Adventist pastor, the vicar forane don Stefano Castaldi and the director of the commission don Antonio Cairo, already protagonist the evening before at another event in harmony with the Holy Father’s prayers, were able to express it best.” [5]
What exactly does this imply? Is this to imply that Adventists actively participated in another event that coincided with the “Holy Father’s prayers”? Absolutely. Pastor Daniele Benini, who works for the Italian Union of Seventh-day Adventist Churches, also attended a prayer session hosted by the local Archbishop on March 3, 2022. Luigi Vari, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Gaeta, had called on all of the archdiocese’s priests in the 57 churches that make up the archdiocese’s local region to gather together and pray for peace in Ukraine. Guess who else answered the archbishop’s request to pray together? On that same day, “Daniele Benini, pastor of the Adventist Church of Gaeta,” was also present. [6]

The Roman Catholic Church promotes the ecumenical event held at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the above Facebook post. As a result, we’re opening our churches to the most vocal proponents of spiritualism. We are adding to our ranks those who are pioneering the field of communication with the dead. All of this is being orchestrated and coordinated by those who are “in harmony with the Holy Father’s (Pope Francis’) prayer.”

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is also promoting the ecumenical event held at their church in the Facebook post above. At this critical juncture in history, God has called the Adventist Movement to deliver the Three Angels’ Messages, which expose Babylon’s sins and underscore the need for repentance. Exposing the “inroads of spiritualism” is a part of our mission. Instead, we welcome those who are determined to bring spiritualism to the population.
“The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the inroads of Spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power,—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who have never heard words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from Heaven” (Great Controversy, p. 606).
Many Seventh-day Adventists are abandoning the faith. These pastors and leaders who support opening our churches to the purveyors of spiritualism should be honest enough and resign because these men are trying to erase the condemnation that God has placed on Babylon as contained in the Second and Third Angels’ Message. They are spreading confusion in the ranks of the church. What we need today are leaders who will speak out and proclaim the truth and say “no” to spiritualism. We are not teaching the Seventh-day Adventist faith, and we fail to defend its teaching in the face of deadly heresy. Instead of addressing the issues that our world is facing, too many of our people remain silent and instead welcome these apostate leaders from the fallen churches into our ranks.
God wants all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). And more than ever, as the world is being drawn toward Spiritualism, God’s people cannot be passive in their mission, but fearless and determined to give people the opportunity to hear and accept the everlasting gospel. When God has faithful people who live in harmony with His divine requirements, when they are busy proclaiming His message to every “nation, kindred, tongue and people” (Revelation 14:6), and when they come to an experience in which they reflect the image of Christ fully, then the Second Coming of Christ will take place!

I wouldn’t have believed this without seeing it with my own eyes. These men are bold in their apostasy.
LINDA F TAYLOR says
This pastor must be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Better yet, he is probably a Jesuit!!! I don’t understand how our people can be so blind! Maybe, in the end, some of our own pastor’s will be torn from limb to limb like Sister White has stated for all the pastor’s that have lied to their congregations.
Tom Magnusson says
You don’t have to be a Jesuit in disguise to lead a Protestant church to Rome. Ezekiel 23 is a parable of Judah and Israel who went after the gods of the surrounding nations. These weren’t Assyrians in disguise. These were Jews seeking after the Assyrians.
And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
Gayle says
This is shocking. What are the leaders doing about this if anything?
Jerry McMichael says
These people will be our worst enemies. So sorry for them. They are on the road to perdition and don’t have to be. We know how it all ends and Who wins, the Great I Am. My friends, let’s FOJ: Focus On Jesus and He will carry us through till the end. Keep the faith
Nathan says
How dare they? Jesuits in leadership of the ship??
J Meredith says
Praying for the Holy Spirit to convict these leaders who are unwilling to spread the truth of the Three Angel’s Messages and instead, embrace the beast!

Bonjour,il est écrit,sachez que lorsque vous verrez l’abomination,dans un lieu où il ne devrait pas être,sachez que le fils de l’homme est à la porte,les serviteurs de Dieu ont-ils perdus la raison,pour faire entrer dans la maison de Dieu,des loups ravisseurs?Mais que peuvent nous apporter ses infidèles?
David Morris says
But what about the members of those churches? Why don’t they simply get up and walk out? Or protest somehow? The only way those “Pastors” can get away with such stuff is that the congregation is just as asleep as they are.
Paul says
Excellent observation, bro. David.
Marcia says
Why are the wolves being led inside with the sheep?
Florine says
Is this something that the world church approves of? Is Ted Wilson okay with us inviting people into our churches who are dedicating the world to Mary?
Yes Ms Jane says
Elder Wilson aught to rebuke these behavior’s because not commenting looks like approval and agreement…
Unfortunately theres so much to rebuke now that the list of items would be embarrassingly long to address, but these things still need to be exposed, rebuked and stopped.
Isaiah 58:1 KJV
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.”
Paul says
Elder Wilson?…Oh you mean the one who went along – and advised to all his SDA flock – to wear masks in church, to social distance, and to get vaxxed, all according to Dragon’s orders?. Not much chance of him doing what you suggesting there.
Leila says
We absolutely appreciate the news you share. We need to be praying because we are at the end.
Tim says
I struggle a bit with this one. We do need to be mindful of whom we invite to our pulpit.
Not knowing the content of the prayers and comments offered we can’t make comment on that aspect.
Were they invited under the pretence of ecumenism or just to show solidarity on a heartbreaking conflict.
Would you invite your catholic neighbour to have a season of prayer that this terrible conflict will come to an end according to God’s grace?
Harry Wilson says
Sadly, many do not realize that there are two groups in the “Prayer group”…. One who’s mediator is Jesus, and the other is Mary, His mother. Those of the former cannot abide and join with the latter, as they know that this one is dust, and to pray “to” the latter. is spiritualism (of Satan).
Even in times of hardship, when unity seems to be the solution, even in prayer, it should be unity in Christ, not man’s solidarity (ecumenism).
Dorthy says
Repent!
Tom Magnusson says
I don’t belong to the same faith as those who consecrate anything to Mary’s “immaculate heart”. Such a paganistic practice has far more in common with the faith of the ancient Egyptians and Canaanites.

La chiesa avventata si é venduta. Arrogante ignorante è parte della meretrice di babilonia.. Accetta donazioni da big pharma. Pubblicizza vaccini e l’ ecumenismo. Non sei più la chiesa del rimanente
