Paul predicted who would attack the Catholic Church in Acts 20:28-38. “At Miletus, Paul spoke to the presbyters of the Church of Ephesus: ‘Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock of which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, in which you tend the Church of God that He acquired with His own Blood. I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock.”
“Savage wolves” attacked St. Paul’s teaching about Catholic Communion in the Catholic Churches he founded. 1 Cor. 10:16 is as clear as it needs to be: “Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in The Blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in The Body of Christ?”
“Savage wolves” agreed: “We know more than Jesus Christ about that!”

As churches grow and develop, they become targets for new packs of “savage wolves”. In recent History, Catholics in England were attacked so “savage wolves” could seize twenty million acres of monasteries and convents. They turned them into mansions and vast personal estates, keeping countless families from The Church’s “accommodations for the poor”.
1,500 years after Paul, Episcopalian “savage wolves” encouraged other packs of “savage wolves” to keep people from uniting against them. Soon, “Merrie old England” was fractured by battling Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, and what would become tens of thousands of denominations. All of them agreed: “We know more than anyone else about getting into Heaven!” N

The richest Protestants proudly built huge, Catholic-like churches in every American city. They soon became targets for more “savage wolves” who called themselves “Evangelical”. They all praised donors with: “We know more than Mainline Protestant Denominations about what is best for us.”
“Love God and your neighbor as yourselves.” was replaced with “God wants you to feel good about yourself.” Every new denomination uses that vanity to replace the Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His first Pope: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Every “savage wolf” in History respond to that Word of Jesus, abortion, and many sins with their core belief: “We know more than Jesus about that!”
