When Evangelist Tony Alamo was convicted on all counts of transporting minors across state lines for sex, we were delighted to hear the news.
Tony Alamo Christian Ministries Worldwide was the name of his organization, and “World Pastor” was his name. Finally this child-abusing, tax dodging, viciously anti-Catholic bigot is being put away for good. Convicted of having sex with girls as young as 9, and of multiple “marriages,” this supreme exploiter was convicted of tax evasion in 1994 and sent to prison while heading a multimillion-dollar business.
Not surprisingly, we have a fat file on him. Here are a few of his infamous remarks:
· “The Vatican is posing as Snow White, but the Bible says that she is a prostitute, ‘the great whore,’ a cult (Rev. 19:2).”
· “The cult (the Vatican) is very close to replacing our U.S. Constitution with her one-world, satanic canon laws of death to the ‘heretic’ (anyone who is not Roman Catholic).”
· “His [President John F. Kennedy’s] assassination was ordered by Rome, then planned and carried out by Jesuits, just as President Lincoln’s was. Anyone who knew too much about Mr. Kennedy’s assassination was taken care of too.”
No wonder Alamo blamed the Vatican for conspiring against him in the trial that had just ended—he’s possessed with hatred of the Catholic Church. And he made a pretty good living off of it, as well. Moreover, he found no problem getting his hateful message across. Just last November he published a Catholic-bashing ad in the Fort Smith, Arkansas Times Record, and in December he published his ad in the Long Island Press.
Alamo’s attorneys said the government went after him because it didn’t like his “Christianity.” Luckily for them we don’t send all kooks to the asylum.
