Campus Crusade Leader Invites Roman Catholics and Mystics to Speak at Event
CRU -- formerly Campus Crusade for Christ -- has been exposed as a social justice political organization with the sole intention of turning young, Christian-minded students into progressive activists. Ranging from LGBTQ activism to Cultural Marxism and intersectionality, CRU has hosted a number of events with the intent of advancing both political and theological liberalism.
Sojourners is an ecumenical publication founded by the progressive political activist and theological mystic, Jim Wallis, who has admitted to -- along with SBC leader, Russell Moore -- receiving funding from George Soros to advance an open-borders agenda in the US. Sojourners hosts a number of Roman Catholics and mystics -- among them, Kaitlin Curtice.
Curtice is described on her website as,
... a young, Native American Christian mystic who portrays the sacredness of the human condition in everyday language through her writing.
Curtice promotes the heresy of contemplation (contemplative prayer and meditation) and writes of her experiences with "other realms" of life,
By contemplation, I am basically referring to the work of creating and sustaining an inner life of peace, quiet, listening to the Divine/Mystery/Higher Power/God , and letting the overflow of that love stretch into other realms of life.
She is a climate change activist who worships the creation over the creator,
Perhaps if we returned to loving the land, waters, and all beings that live and breathe around us, we might learn how to love our human relatives again.
Nowhere in any of Curtice's works or writings does she show one iota of understanding of the biblical gospel. Of course, we should not expect a Catholic to understand the gospel as the Catholic Church's gospel is false. Yet, even in the spiritual blindness of the Roman Catholic Church, many Catholics still have a good grasp on general revelation, morality, and general common sense. This common grace is a gift from God to all creation -- not just Christians. Yet, Curtice has not only suppressed the truth of the cross, but the truth of God and his revelation altogether.
Yet, for some reason, the Evangelical organization CRU -- who is closely tied to the Southern Baptist Convention and The Gospel Coalition -- sees a need to partner with people like this. Why? Because CRU, as outlined in Romans 1, has exchanged the truth about God (the gospel) for a lie (social justice activism).
Matt Mikalatos, a CRU leader in Portland Oregon desperately tried to invite Curtice to speak at one of CRU's events. Thankfully, she declined and thousands of students did not have to be exposed to her spiritual poison. As seen in the screenshot below, Curtice did not want to sign the contract that was required.
When Mikalatos was asked about her up and coming presence at the event, Mikalatos was seemingly ecstatic that they were trying to get more Roman Catholics -- including a priest who does idolatrous paintings of Jesus -- involved in their work.
It is safe to say that CRU has largely apostatized from its original biblical, gospel-centered founding. What used to be a mission-focused evangelistic organization centered around biblical truth has now become an ecumenical gospel-less social justice and progressive political activist crusade.
