In Loving Memory of Dr Alberto Rivera

In Loving Memory of Dr. Alberto R. Rivera
September 19, 1935 - June 20, 1997
Alberto Rivera was born in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain, in 1935. He was sent to a Catholic
Seminary at age 7. At that moment, the separation from his family, especially from his mother Teresa,
tore him up. But, two years later, when relatives came to the seminary to take him home, where Teresa
was dying, the very idea of leaving was excruciating for him. The seminary had become his house and
his family; the church, his mother. Through intense indoctrination, the mind of that child had been
already denaturalized.
He had to be commanded to go back home so he could see his mother in her last hours. Little did he
know that he was in for the most nightmarish and shocking experience of his entire life. Teresa, in her
deathbed, was suffering a horrendous agony, screaming in utter terror at monstrous entities only she
could see, . . . although she was not on medication. These hideous spirits, said she, were coming to take
her and put her in fire. It was a most atrocious death, in spite that the priest who had come to her bedside
had gotten a special indulgence for her from the pope himself, and a special mass had been also offered.
Moreover, Alberto's mother was an extremely faithful devotee, never missing mass or confession,
involved in all church activities and zealously observing all the traditions and rituals.
This traumatic moment confronted the young Alberto with the reality of the Catholic religion . . . The
sacraments and devotions could not help his mother die in peace. He felt void inside, not knowing what
to believe anymore. Yet, amidst this confusion, he vowed to become a priest so he could find the
answers to the queries that his mother's death had arisen.
He continued his studies until he became a Jesuit priest and a Bishop in the old Roman Catholic
Institution. As a Jesuit one of his missions was to infiltrate and destroy Protestant churches and
ministries, in Spain alone he helped destroy 19 churches.
He became very confused when he saw that there was a movement to make a gigantic church power.
That the Masons were involved (a group he had been told, and trained to hate) and his life began to
spiral downward. It was during a public mass, in front of some 50,000 people who had gathered for an
Ecumenical meeting of Latin American Protestant leaders, that he committed an "unpardonable sin"
when he began to expose Rome for what she truly is and what she stands for.
His public exposure of Rome brought about weeks of torture, heavy drug sedation and electrical shock
treatments in efforts to get him to recant his statements publicly, Dr. Rivera stood his ground, after all he
was devastated and felt betrayed by everything and everyone in his life so death was not a bad prospect.
The Roman Catholic leadership didn't want to destroy (kill) him before first making him recant publicly.
Only the power of God gave him the strength to survive the torture he endured. He eventually was sent
to Madrid to meet with a Jesuit priest who had been commissioned to re-indoctrinate him into serving
Rome and restoring his loyalty to the Pope. During these sessions Dr. Rivera explained to the priest of
what he had found in the Word of God and eventually the priest, obviously moved by the Word, gave
him his passport and the documentation he would need to leave Spain. The Vatican was outraged to
know that Dr. Rivera had escaped their system.
Dr. Rivera continued to expose Rome until his death in 1997. He was the victim of several murder plots
and attempts to make him ill... unfortunately, one of those attempts is believed to have slowly poisoned
him.
His legacy continues through his widow, Sis. Nury Rivera. Her commitment to God and her conviction
for Roman Catholics to come to a saving knowledge are her driving force in continuing to fight the good
fight of Faith.
