THE FALSE KISS OF JUDAS PRIEST PART IV
Why these condemning words of Jesus to Judas Iscariot are so portentous, regarding our own times, is because these are the days of betrayal, of false charity, of a pretended love of Christ provoked by Satan himself, the great imitator of Christ-like charity and the flatterer par excellence.
