READ THE NEWS RELEASE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS NEWSLETTER PAGE.

Webmaster note: I contacted the author of the above News Release and was told -by him -all the facts as written were verified.

The presentation below was given June 4, 2013 -  almost six months before this newsletter above was released by Vance Ferrell -  Pilgrim’s Rest. 

…then a video was released in August 2013 ( by the presenter, Pastor Gambetta) denying the first video to be accurate.  Maybe a little ‘Pressure'?

 Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is well aware of the beliefs of the SDA church as his brother has been a Seventh-Day Adventist for over 50 years. They come from a very Catholic family and the brothers had a great controversy over this issue. The pope has recently stated that Sunday Laws will be passed soon and he will support them. The current pope referred to Ellen White as a plague and called her a witch.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, United States, has released the following official statement:

A rumor circulating that Pope Francis has a brother who is a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is untrue. Please disregard a widely distributed YouTube sermon in which Hugo Gambetta makes these claims.

Photo below is of Pope Francis’ family from a number of years ago. His older brother, Oscar, is pictured to the right of Francis and behind his father.

    

The questions about Pope Francis’ brother's religious affiliations are not answered at this time.
