| THE POPE is not the Antichrist, the Church of Ireland has declared.
In a statement released on Jan 23, the Church of Ireland distanced itself from comments made by an aide to Northern Ireland Enterprise Minister Nigel Dodds. Mr Wallace Thompson, an advisor to the minister and secretary of the Evangelical Protestant Society, told RTE radio he opposed plans for a visit to Ulster by the Pope, who was a ‘man of sin and son of perdition.’ Asked for his comments about the sale of rosary beads at the gift shop of the Church of Ireland’s St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, Mr Thompson condemned the practice as a papistical innovation that was foreign to the Church of Ireland’s Protestant heritage.
