MastersForm 02/21/18 10:27:41 PM #8:	VoightKent posted... Graham worked actively to subvert Catholicism in America Graham is actually criticized pretty harshly in the Protestant community for being somewhat wishy washy on Catholicism and not emphasizing the important differences between the Gospel of Rome and the Gospel of the Bible. This is why we see articles from Catholic publications that are laudatory of Graham: https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2018/02/21/how-billy-graham-shaped-american-catholicism The claim that he worked to subvert Roman Catholicism doesn't hold up since he actively involved them in many of his revivals and even met with the Pope a number of times. If anything, he did just the opposite and was a major figure of the modern movement towards ecumenicalism. <cite>MastersForm posted [p:896533033] in Why are ch...

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Graham_rule The Billy Graham rule or Pence rule[1] is a practice among male Protestant Christian leaders, in which they avoid spending time alone with women to whom they are not married. It is named after Billy Graham, the most notable proponent of the practice. It is adopted as a display of integrity, a means of avoiding sexual temptation, and to avoid any appearance of doing something considered morally objectionable, but has been criticized as being sexist. --- Sometimes people come along and they want to change things.

Master_Bass 02/22/18 1:26:50 PM #19:	The main criticisms of him I've seen are: 1. He didn't approve of homosexuality. 2. He said antisemitic things in private to Nixon and denied it until tapes were released years later 3. Advocated for the bombing of dikes in North Vietnam that would have killed roughly a million people. 4. Spoke out against feminism. These are the reasons I've gathered in the past day or so about why people don't like him. --- Many Bothans died to bring you this post. <cite>Master_Bass posted [p:896565899] in Why are ch...
