We Have Adopted Rome’s Worship: Pope Francis Urges the Youth to Make their Events Youthful, Vibrant, Strong, Creative, Unique, and Poetic rather than a Photocopy of the Past

All roads lead to Rome, including modern styles of worship. All hell is breaking loose as Rome leads the religious world in adopting ungodly worship techniques. This will cause sinners to dance their way to perdition. Guilherme Peixoto, also known as DJ Priest, is a Roman Catholic Priest by day and a DJ by night from Northern Portugal. Pope Francis has even blessed Peixoto’s headphones, which he uses to mix the dance music for this new form of evangelization among young Catholics. [1] The youth events led by Peixoto are filled with prayers to the Virgin Mary, mesmerizing techno sounds, immodest dress, flashing lights, and lots of dancing.

In the video above, Pope Francis tells the youth:

“You have to prepare, helping to make August 23 a young event, a fresh event, an event with life, an event with strength, and a creative event. Don’t live in the past of other events. You have to create the encounter. If you are not creative, if you are not poets, your encounter will come out wrong. It will not be original. It will only be a photocopy of other encounters … Every one of us needs to be original, not a photocopy.” (YouTube Video).

Pope Francis advises young people to put their own interests and spiritual pursuits first. He advises them to use self-discovery in their encounter with God, to express themselves uniquely, and to avoid being influenced by others. In other words, they are being told to worship God independently and according to their own preferences.

For the past 16 years, Rome has provided DJ Guilherme Peixoto and his party-worshipping atmosphere. [2] Today, many Seventh-day Adventist youth leaders also want to be cool, follow in the footsteps of Roman Catholics, and become DJs for God by bringing the love of Christ onto the dance floor. Nowadays, most youth ministries perform with full bands and do worship with blaring music and drums. But now we are being invaded by DJs. [3] Music is the new religion, and it’s the DJs that are facilitating the worship experience.

This younger generation considers club dancing to be a form of worship. Therefore, by playing DJ music, people can dance while praising God. And the more fervent the dance moves, the more intense the worship experience. Sadly, many of the dance moves, physical contact, and rear-end shaking that are taking place have nothing to do with Christian values, morals, or standards and are instead directly related to what occurs in nightclubs around the world.

“Beguiled with music and dancing and allured by the beauty of heathen vestals, they cast off their fealty to Jehovah. As they united in mirth and feasting, indulgence in wine beclouded their senses and broke down the barriers of self-control. Passion had full sway; and having defiled their consciences by lewdness, they were persuaded to bow down to idols. They offered sacrifice upon heathen altars and participated in the most degrading rites” (Patriarchs and Prophets, 454).
