1979 saw Ian Paisley elected to the
European Parliament, another platform for

00:05.840 --> 00:07.740
his political and religious dogma.

00:09.780 --> 00:14.000
Permit me to say how much I...

00:26.600 --> 00:30.660
Mr. Paisley, I now exclude you from this
house.

00:33.720 --> 00:37.160
I've never tried to go out and offend
Catholics.

00:37.840 --> 00:42.580
I have been an opponent of the teachings
of the Church of Rome.

00:43.200 --> 00:48.020
I am in the historic succession of the
Reformers.

00:48.540 --> 00:53.700
I mean, one wee lady wrote into the press
and said, I wrote the Confession of Faith

00:53.700 --> 00:55.720
and called the Pope the Antichrist.

00:56.160 --> 01:01.860
I mean, I was far from the first person
who accepted the fact that the Church of

01:01.860 --> 01:07.880
Rome was a false church, and therefore was
the church as depicted in the 17th chapter

01:07.880 --> 01:08.940
of the book of Revelation.

01:09.480 --> 01:11.860
Now that is historic Protestantism.

01:12.040 --> 01:19.580
And I mean, I think I've proved in my
political life, by my advocacy of people

01:19.580 --> 01:24.620
who are Roman Catholics in their times of
trouble, that I have given them the best

01:24.620 --> 01:26.660
possible representation they ever had.
