Wimber’s Radical EcumenismJohn Wimber led the way in bringing the ecumenicalphilosophy into the Vineyard churches. In his zeal for finding“signs and wonders” in church history aer the days of theapostles, Wimber praised the Roman Catholic Church forbelieving in miracles and did not warn that these “miracles”are scripturally bogus and are performed in the context of afalse gospel.In his book Power Evangelism: Signs and Wonders Today(1995), Wimber mentioned the following Catholic “saints” ina positive light: Pope Gregory the Great, St. Francis, St.Dominic, St. Benedict, and Ignatius of Loyola. He did notgive any warning about the false faith-works gospel preachedby these “saints” that has sent multitudes to hell, and he didnot cast any doubt upon the wild-eyed mythical aspects of theCatholic stories that surround these individuals.ST. BENEDICT OF NURSIA (c. 480-547), called the “fatherof the Western monks,” was one of the founders of Catholicmonasticism with its unscriptural and unholy doctrine that“celibacy” is holier than marriage. According to the CatholicEncyclopedia Benedict performed miracles, deliveredprophecies, and even astral projected his spirit so that heaccompanied the monks on their journeys. His first miraclewas alleged to have been the “healing” of an earthenwaresieve that his nurse had broken. It is said that on one occasionwhen some monks tried to poison Benedict the cup“miraculously shattered as he made the sign of the cross overthe vessel prior to raising it to his lips.” Pope Urban VIII saidthat Benedict “merited while still in this mortal life, to seeGod Himself and in God all that is below him.” All of this isunscriptural nonsense, and anyone that exalts “St. Benedict”as an example of continuing “signs and wonders” in thechurches aer the days of the apostles needs his headexamined.GREGORY THE GREAT (A.D. 590-604) was “the first ofthe proper popes” and with him begins “the development of409
