Brannon Howse Interviews Former Roman Catholic Priest Richard Bennett

Posted by Christine Pack

Richard Bennett,
former Catholic priest
Christian writer and researcher Brannon Howse recently had former Roman Catholic priest Richard Bennett on his radio program. Richard Bennett was a Roman Catholic for 48 years, 22 of them as a priest, before God mercifully delivered him from Catholicism. After an accident which almost killed him, Bennett began to read the Bible, and in it, he discovered the truth about how it is that sinful man is reconciled to a holy God.

I absolutely love Richard Bennett and his online ministry, Berean Beacon. I have handed out his testimony on CD for a number of years now. The most startling thing I have learned about Catholicism from Bennett's ministry is that Catholics do not learn the Bible in seminary.....they mostly learn church history, "their" version, anyway. Yet all the Catholics I know are trained from a young age to venerate their priests as possessing greater biblical knowledge, when in fact, they possess little Bible knowledge, if any. So I like that Richard Bennett, as a former priest, has exposed this little known fact. And it was through actually reading the Bible that Richard Bennett was converted.
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Heb 4:12
