For generations, many of our church leaders have reassured members that interfaith relationships were harmless, even claiming they were supported by the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. However, the lid has now been blown off that narrative. The Catholic Church itself has openly stated that the purpose of the ecumenical movement is to draw all separated communities—Adventists included—back into full communion with Rome.
The declaration below, published by a prominent Catholic periodical, exposes the true aim behind the ecumenical agenda—and it is not what we were led to believe. Contrary to the assurances we’ve been given about promoting religious liberty, dispelling misconceptions, or sharing the Three Angels’ Message, Roman Catholic leaders make it clear: this movement is a carefully crafted strategy to erase our distinct prophetic identity and bring all churches under Rome’s spiritual authority.
The Southern Cross, a widely read South African monthly Catholic magazine fully endorsed by the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference—the highest Catholic authority in the region—made a startling revelation on May 13, 2025. In a bold and clear statement, The Southern Cross exposed the true objective of the ecumenical movement, declaring that its ultimate goal is to transition Seventh-day Adventists into full communion with the Catholic Church. This candid admission lifts the veil on years of ecumenical dialogue and confirms long-standing concerns about the movement’s real intentions.
The Southern Cross published the following:
• “From a Catholic perspective, the key disagreements with Seventh-day Adventists are clear. Seventh-day Adventists observe the Sabbath on Saturday, which contrasts with the Catholic tradition of observing the Lord’s Day on Sunday.” [1]
• “Seventh-day Adventists do not recognize the authority of the Pope.” [1]
• “They also reject the Catholic doctrine of the immortality of the soul, believing instead in the concept of “soul sleep”, where the dead remain unconscious until the resurrection.” [1]
• “Furthermore, Seventh-day Adventists do not uphold the Catholic sacraments, particularly the Eucharist.” [1]
• “Their practice of baptism by immersion for those who have reached an age of accountability differs from the Catholic tradition of infant baptism.” [1]
• “Despite these differences, progress has been made. The Second Vatican Council’s Decree on Ecumenism, Unitatis Redintegratio, opened doors for dialogue with other denominations, including Seventh-day Adventists. More recently, joint statements and collaborative projects have highlighted areas of agreement and mutual respect. For instance, both groups have worked together on humanitarian efforts, such as disaster relief and health initiatives, reflecting a shared commitment to serving others.” [1]
• “While formal theological dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Seventh-day Adventist Church has been limited, there have been informal discussions and cooperative efforts in areas of common concern, such as religious freedom and social justice. These efforts reflect our shared commitment to unity and the healing of centuries-old divisions. As Catholics, we are committed to reuniting Christians and restoring full communion within the one true Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, to heal the wounds of centuries-old divisions.” [1]
The Catholic Church’s statement lays bare the hidden agenda behind the ecumenical movement. It was never truly about the reasons our church leaders have promoted for years—such as sharing our beliefs, mingling, promoting religious liberty, or dispelling misconceptions. All of that now rings hollow. The real objective has always been clear: to “restore full communion within the one true Church,” a phrase that unmistakably reveals the Catholic Church’s view of itself as the sole legitimate expression of Christianity. Their mission has never changed—they seek to bring all others, including Seventh-day Adventists, back under their spiritual authority.
One of the most profound disappointments of Ted Wilson’s presidency has been his continued support and defense of Ganoune Diop, despite Diop’s repeated involvement in ecumenical activities that have raised serious concerns among many faithful Seventh-day Adventists. Rather than taking a firm stand to preserve the prophetic identity and separation of the Adventist Church from the influences of Rome, Wilson has allowed and even endorsed Diop’s participation in interfaith councils and dialogues that have helped to bridge the divide between truth and compromise.
These actions have not only sent a confusing message to the global church but have also helped normalize cooperation with the very powers Adventist prophecy warns against. For a leader who likes to speak about defending the pillars of our faith, President Wilson’s unwillingness to address Diop’s dangerous entanglements has left many disillusioned, watching as the church drifts closer to Rome under the banner of unity.
There is a reason Ganoune Diop insists that the Three Angels’ Messages are ecumenical—his words reveal a deeper agenda. His claim that he will only preach about Jesus, along with the suggestion that Rome has changed, reflects a dangerous shift away from the distinct prophetic message entrusted to this movement. As an outspoken advocate of the ecumenical movement, Diop has actively promoted a narrative that aligns with the Jesuit strategy to downplay the truths that expose the beast, the image, and the mark. This ecumenical push is not about mutual trust but about silencing the present truth for this time. What was once hidden behind language of cooperation and dialogue has now been exposed: the movement operates on false pretenses with motives that stand in direct opposition to the mission God has given His remnant people.
In these critical times, our church desperately needs leaders who will truly stand on the Word of God—men of conviction who will not bend to ecumenical pressures, political correctness, or the desire to take the popular or easy path. We need shepherds who will call sin by its rightful name, who will not excuse error for the sake of peace, and who will lead by example, not just with polished statements or empty affirmations.
The hour demands courageous voices who will contend earnestly for “the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3) and who will back their convictions with bold, Spirit-led action. Such leadership doesn’t seek to flatter the world—it challenges it; it doesn’t cower before compromise—it stands firm, no matter the cost. Only with this kind of faithful leadership can we be prepared to meet the final crisis with the Spirit and power of God.
“The greatest want of the world is the want of men—men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall” (Education, p. 573).

The World Council of Churches (WCC) Is the super church state predicted in the bible prophecy;the Prophecy of Revelation 18:4; says”, come out of her my people that ye may not partake into her sins”,but the Seventh Day Adventists have been given a unique message distinct from what Rome is trying to spearhead? The preaching of the loud cry of the three angels messages,”that’s what the pioneers were championing but later after the departure of the pioneers the current General conference of Seventh day Adventists are leading the flock membership back to Rome. In every truth there must be a counterfeit , on the other hand satan has his unhlly alliance consisting of the three unclean spirits found in the Revelation 16:13 mainly the Dragon; Beast; False prophet. These three powers consist of Dragon (aethism;Communism) Beast (Roman Catholicism) False prophet (Protestanism). In the book of ”keys of this blood authored by Jesuit priest Malachi Martin he gives s detailed account of how the confedracy of these three powers and how they will deceive the world. The ” title of the book reads as follows ”keys of this blood” the STRUGGLE BETWEEN VATICAN AND RUSSIA AND THE CAPITALIST WEST AMERICA.”Let’d remember these three powers were at the forefront during the formation of the United Nations in 1945. Joseph Stalin represented dragon aethism communism; Winston Churchill beast Roman Catholicism; F.D Roosevelt represented false prophet. These three leaders met in Yalta conference in Russia, to plan on how to form the U.N.O in 1945. And three years later in 1948 in Amsterdam the Jesuits formed the World Council of Churches that’s why the current events in geopolitics we are deceived that Russia and China are the enemies of United states. Yet in the real sense the jesuit created two centers of superpowers mainly Soviet Union and the United States. That’s why many K.G.B ;C.I.A; M-16 officers were sent to W.C.C inorder to destroy the protestant churches. That’s how Rome managed to infiltrate many churches including the S.D.A; the current Principal contributor of Sabbath school bible guideline Mr. Clifford Goldstein is a C.I.A, Former President of General conference of S.D.A ,M.r. Jan Paulsen is a K.G.B. Also the current crop of G.C leadership led by Ted Wilson and Ganoune Dioup are at fore front participating in ecumenical gatherings they are deceiving the S.D.A’S that they have no any relationship with antichrist but when the final act in the drama takes place during the enforcement of the mark of the beast they will quit their powerful positions and join the ”man of sin ”against God in final rebellion of the armaggedon.
Very true
Please tell us more
Expose
How do you know that about Clifford Goldstein and Jan paulsen…
Sound lile speculation or wishful thinking.
Cliff is solid…writes a lot about 1844 defending the sanctuary message.
My friend Bh? You are not aware that many of those serving in the S.D.A have Jesuitical roots. This guy himself has declared himself to be a satanist, and in the adventist review many magazines he declared that many people accused him of being a jesuit or rather worse a republican. So, stop saying that i am speculating , you must be an avid reader of the adventist review magazines. Even the Devil transforms himself into an angel of light 2 corinthians 6:14. Jan paulsen studied in the same university with the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in Tubingen University.So, these people you seem to trust so much , have sold their souls to the devil?
Both leaders of the General conference of Seventh day Adventists President Ted Wilson and religious liberty leader Ganoune Dioup are both educated in the Jesuit top universities. Ted Wilson received his education from Fordham university a top Jesuit school in the U.S. Ganoune Dioup has also studied in the Jesuit university Soubborne in France, these leaders are wolves in sheep’s clothing . So, the proffessed faithful S.D.A’S should not be suprised because these leaders are promoting the papacy’s agenda through ecumenism which aims to water down God’s truth as found in the bible and embracing traditions. It’s high time the S.D.A’S wake up from the slumber and join the true and faithful remnant christians who have formed independent ministries within the seventh Day Adventists who are proclaiming the three angels messages like our pioneers who laid the foundation of our faith.
As you mentioned, brother, there is no doubt that the SDA church is infiltrated by jesuits. This is also confirmed by the testimony of Alberto Rivera.
Concerning the idea of forming independent ministries, we should listen to the messenger of the Lord:
The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out—the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place.—Selected Messages 2:380 (1886). LDE 180.5
I know that the Lord loves His church. It is not to be disorganized or broken up into independent atoms. LDE 51.3
Divisions will come in the church. Two parties will be developed. The wheat and tares grow up together for the harvest.—Selected Messages 2:114 (1896). . LDE 172.3
Brother Michel…I read your post with interest. Using your interpretation of “independent atoms” then mission work entities such as Adventist Frontier Missions is against what God wants. That would apply to so many missions around the world that are not dependent on money from the church treasury. There are orphanages and many other outreach entities that are doing a great work.
And, it seems that you are believing that the ‘church’ is the entire body which includes every person and all of the business end of the church. According to SOP:
“…God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” [Matthew 18:20.] Where Christ is even among the humble few, this is Christ’s church, for the presence of the high and holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a church…” 4LtMs, Lt 108 1886, para 17
Those who love God and keep His commandments are the church. Now, this includes anyone at any level so this does not exclude those in leadership or on the local level unless they are not in obedience to God and unless they do not love Him. Yet so many Adventists still believe that the GC is the Church; the Divisions are the Church; the Unions and the local conferences are the Church. And so many believe that if it comes from the leadership we must do it. We have only one Leader who we must follow – Jesus Christ. This does not mean that we ignore everything they say or do. But it does mean that what they are doing must follow the Bible and the truth as it is in Jesus.
I think you might recall that during and after the 1888 debacle Ellen White said that the GC, at that time, was not the voice of God:
“God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” [Matthew 18:20.] Where Christ is even among the humble few, this is Christ’s church, for the presence of the high and holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a church.”
Ellen White had the following to say:
“At times, when a small group of men entrusted with the general management of the church have, in the name of the General Conference, sought to carry out unwise plans and to restrict God’s work, I have Sid that I no longer regard the voice of the General Conference, represented by these few men, as the voice of God…” GW 490.1
It was a small group of men who decided to throw the people under the bus when they decided to fall on the side of our Government and refuse to support those who, by the Holy Spirit, were moved to refuse the vaccine;
It was TW who, at the last GC session, strongly encouraged the representatives from around the world not to vote to put the 2015/20 statement on vaccination on the agenda.
It is Ganoune Diop (PARL) who is at the head of the Vatican Council on Ecumenism.
I am appalled at the direction many in our general leadership is going. NAD and others have ignored the GC vote on women as pastors. That was a GC in Session vote: Which means that the the church/the people spoke. This shows a deep disrespect for the church in session on the part of leadership.
Rome has not changed and we should not be sidling up to her as has been done for many years now.
Learning alot from this article.
Like you, sister Julie, and many others, I am also appalled at the apostasy in the church: ecumenism, conformity to worldly practices, testimonies made of none effect, ADRA not allowed to evangelize anymore, yielding to Big Pharma, not defending the members against the deadly injection, false doctrines etc
All this perfectly fits the description given by sister White “the church appears as about to fall”.
What we are seeing now is the fulfillment of prophecy.
In the quote you mention (GW 490.1), sister White condemns the leaders but does not call for the creation of independent ministries.
If apostasy appears in an independent atom (as would inevitably happen when humans are involved), what are we then going to do? Create yet another independent atom? This has no end. We have to accept in faith, as explained by sister White, that the wheat and the tares will grow together.
The church appears as about to fall to fall, but it doesn’t fall.
Who will do the shaking? God, not us. We must trust God.
The Lord has had a church from that day, through all the changing scenes of time to the present period, 1893. The Bible sets before us a model church. They are to be in unity with each other, and with God. When believers are united to Christ, the living vine, the result is that they are one with Christ, full of sympathy and tenderness and love. When anyone is drawing apart from the ORGANIZED BODY of God’s commandment-keeping people, and they begin to weigh the church in their human scales, and begin to pronounce judgment against them, then you may know that God is not leading them. They are on the wrong track. 8LtMs, Ms 21, 1893, par. 24
Staying within the official SDA church does not prevent God-fearing, faithful disciples of Jesus to do the work, e.g. distributing books and pamphlets to warn the public so their souls can be saved.
I don’t believe that TW was educated in a Jesuit University. The I looked up information on this some time back it did not reference a Jesuit University. I do not know where Ganoune Diop was educated.
Ted Wilson has never attended Fordham University or any other Jesuit institution. He received his education from New York University,
Loma Linda University School of Public Health, Andrews University, and Washington Adventist University.
Just going to leave this video link below:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=IchrGVbih_s&feature=shared
The link is of Elder Wilson and Ganoune Diop at an Eccumenical gathering (Brazil 2013)
Imagine yourself somehow ending up at a highly eccumenical gathering, people from all Religions: Hindu’s, Hari-Krishna’s, Buddhist’s, Roman Catholics etc and your name is Applauded/Cheered,
How would you feel?
Personally I would feel like I’d betrayed Adventism, 12 years later did He ever repent of this celebration with Babylon?
Brother Michel?” This is where many S.D.A’S are led into astray, this is because many Adventists believe that the selected messages books of three volumes were written by Ellen.G.White,these books are compilation of her writings. Every proffessed Seventh Day Adventist reformer and Nominal Adventist should know that many of the books reffered to as the spirit of prophecy writings are not written by Sister White….e.g . The Selected messages book 1,2, were written in 1958, While the book volume 3,was written in 1980 by the general conference leaders. There is this quotation you have mentioned which many people are fond of making reference into 2SM 380, Which is wrongly misquoted; When Sister White was alive back to the year 1886, she lived in Bern Swirtzerland that’s when she wrote letter 55, concerning how the church might fall and become harlot sister to babylon so, the first four paragraphs of the letter have been left out in the book selected messages book 2:380,the reason these paragraphs were left out it’s because they pointed the errors and evils committed by the leadership which contributed to the fall of the church. That’s why they wrote this book without the first four paragraphs so as to make the S.D.A ‘S to be confused. The two volumes of the selected messages were written after the Jesuit General Conference leadership changed the foundation of faith of the pioneers contained in the fundamental principals as taught and practised by the Seventh Day Adventists which written in 1874,by Elder, James White,husband to the messenger of the Lord Mrs.Ellen .G.White.It Should be noted that in the previous year ,1957,the General Conference leaders and the Evangelical leaders Walter Martin and George Barnhouse the altar boys of the Vatican played a pivotal role to destroy the foundation of our pioneers ‘faith and they questioned our biblical doctrines in doubt about the sacredness of the sabbath and the heavenly sanctuary.The same a book was published which watered down our faith ”Questions on Doctrine” whose author was a Jesuit trained Pastor Le Roy Froom, the same also after they succeeded destroying the foundation of S.D.A Faith they joined Christian World Council which is subsidiary of W.C.C.
When the Vatican II was held in 1962, the General Conference of S.D.A was represented by Bert ,Berverly Beach and Arthur .S. Maxwell,so that’s the S.D.A Church and became sister to the harlot babylon. So,during the era of our pioneers the church had not fallen but when they died the church was hijacked and destroyed by the Jesuits and unbiblical doctrines such as the trinity were introduced.And from that moment many S.D.A’S started forming independent ministries. You cannot allow a leader who is blind to lead you into a hole. Ellen G.White has also adviced to form independent ministries. Even Jesus Christ left the Jewish religion in Jerusalem ,and formed his own ministry in the sea of Galilee, because of Jewish leaders’ apostacy, (Desire of Ages ,page 457)
Brother Samuel,
I agree with you that we must be very careful and vigilant because the ennemy is using every device to deceive God’s people.
But, if there was a necessity to create independent atoms, don’t you think that God would have warned us through His messenger?
Despite all efforts to destroy or modify the Bible, God kept His word safe and intact for our benefit (KJV). I have no doubt that He did the same with the Spirit of Prophecy.
The Lord has had a church from that day, through all the changing scenes of time to the present period, 1893. The Bible sets before us a model church.

Thanks for the link
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
the Bible says it all and it says it clearly. We are NOT to be in accord with unbelievers. The problem is that we are in accord right at the top.
It began to lose its Protestant roots four years after Sister White died when it had a secret Bible Conference bringing up a trinitarian meaning to the personality of God and of Christ. There’s only two beings in heaven that we need to be in relationship with for eternal life and it’s the Father and His Son John 17;3 1st Corinthians 8;6 … furthermore 2nd Corinthians 3;17 says that the Lord Jesus is the Spirit not a third person. Later in 1955-56 Leroy Froom Roy A Anderson sold out to the Evangelicals….so there has been Jesuit infiltrators for a very long time. In 1980 was the final fall of Adventism when the world church accepted the Babylonian Trinity doctrine…they say Godhead but when explaining…they end up describing the same Trinity as the Catholics. It’s so sad. The Pioneers had it right but Satan couldn’t let that keep going so he sent Jesuit infiltrators to bring down the truth
We need to realize that the Holy Spirit is as much a person as God is a person FLB 52.2
The Holy Spirit has a personality, else He could not bear witness to our spirits and with our spirits that we are the children of God. He must also be a divine person, else He could not search out the secrets which lie hidden in the mind of God. FLB 52.3
The power of evil had been strengthening for centuries, and the submission of men to this satanic captivity was amazing. Sin could be resisted and overcome only through the mighty agency of the THIRD PERSON OF THE GODHEAD, who would come with no modified energy, but in the fullness of divine power.72The Desire of Ages, 671 FLB 52.6
The prince of the power of evil can only be held in check by the power of God in the third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. SpTA10 37.1
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
1 John 5:7 KJV
Brother Michel …..
Holy spirit has no personalty?” According to the Holy Scriptures ,the Holy spirit is the prescence of God to project his power worldwide. So, the Holy spirit is the spirit of God and Christ (read Psalms 139:7). In the Inspiration in the book of ACTS OF APOSTLES pg:48-52;we read the following -The Holy spirit is mystery beyond our imagination it’s something we cannot be able to comprehend?”So, the doctrine of trinity is unbiblical it has it’s trace from plains of ANCIENT BABYLON it’s satanic doctrine.
From the source:
“What We Agree On
As Catholics, we share fundamental beliefs with Seventh Day Adventists: the Trinity…”
The SDA godhead is claimed as the same triune god RCC serves. What more do you need. Serve the one true God and his Son through their Spirit. John 17:3
Wicked antiChrist Rome isn’t happy unless it is engineering conformity by all.
There are people who still doubt that the General Conference Leaders are Jesuits; I challenge them to do a thorough research, and establish the evidence for themselves. Many S.D.A’S still think that General Conference is still God’s voice; but it’s very unfortunate because they are very mistakened?” The top leadership in General Conference including all the thirteen world church division most of those elected to head those institutions are the Jesuits , and that’s why many of our brethren who are innocent are not aware, the General Conference Headquarters of the S.D.A , Located at Silver springs Maryland at the entrance of the gate, there are three flags located in the premises of the church headqurters ; the S.D.A flag containing green bible;and three wavy lines and introverted cross instead of the three angels banner, the U.S. flag; the Vatican flag. Then comes a big Question what’s the Vatican flag doing in the premises of the S.D.A World church headquarters?”That’s how the ”abomination of desolation” has succeded in standing in the holy city our modern S.D.A church the today’s Jerusalem?”
It sounds like you have done the research why not post references proving the claims about these Jesuits in the church.
For those doubting Thomases?” Here is the accurate and pure evidence. Ted Wilson studied and received a bachelor of Arts degree (religion and education) from columbia union college) now (Washington Adventist University of Science degree( public health) from (Lomalinda)university;a degree from (Andrews University),which New York University farmed out from (Fordham University), a top ( Jesuit school) in the United States.
Constantly, men and women are arising who become restless and uneasy, who want to set up some new contrivance, to do some wonderful thing. Satan watches his opportunities to give them something to do in his line. God has given to every man his work. There are opportunities and privileges in the church to help those who are ready to die, and to inspire the church with zeal, but NOT TO TEAR THE CHURCH TO PIECES. There are plenty of opportunities in the church to walk in Christ’s lines. If the heart is full of zeal to press on to a deeper sanctification and holiness, then work in that line in all humbleness and devotedness. The church needs freshness and the inspiration of men who breathe in the very atmosphere of heaven, to vitalize the church, NOTWITHSTANDING THE TARES ARE AMONG THE WHEAT. 8LtMs, Ms 21, 1893, par. 25
This is Apostasy
