Ellen White Listed as "Heretic of The Week" on Catholic Herald Website

The Catholic Herald just listed Ellen G. White as heretic of the week on their website.

They take a couple offhand swipes at the Seventh-day Adventist Movement, criticizing our observance of the “Jewish Sabbath”, and dietary laws. They also take issue with our prophetic understanding of Pope as Antichrist, and refer to William Miller as a false prophet.

They close the article with these words,

For the most part, Adventists are conscientious objectors, but they have specialised in medical roles during wartime. Similarly, the denomination has a generous commitment to hospitals and schools – and were great practitioners of racial equality. Their technological savvy must be balanced against the proof asserted of the papacy’s diabolical nature – that the (non-existent) inscription on the papal tiara adds up to 666 in Hebrew letters.

It appears that Roman Catholics don’t care too much for the Seventh-day Adventist movement and message. They are pretty chummy with progressive Adventism however, forming alliances with Adventist Health California in 2018, a merger that was blocked by California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra in 2019.

Progressive Adventists have adopted the Roman Catholic doctrine of Lent, and read freely from Roman Catholic mystical writings.

The Seventh-day Adventist Movement teaches that the Roman Catholic System is antichrist, and symbolized in Scripture as the “Little Horn” of Daniel 8, and the Great Harlot of Revelation 17. This is fundamental Protestant teaching; most of all, it is thoroughly biblical. To those in the Roman Catholic system, God says “Come out of her, My people.”

If that makes us heretics, so be it. It’s an honor to be listed in the same company with William Tyndale, Wycliffe, John Huss, Felix Manz, Martin Luther, Balthasar Hubmaier and Dirk Willems.

“After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her” (Revelation 19:1-2).
