THE LAST POPE.
POPE
FRANCIS
AND HIS LIES
By Søren Nielsen 2018.
Pope Francis narcissist ego is distending so quickly that he is acting as the greatest pretender and impostor of Jesus and performing the biggest magic tricks more than all popes combined: First, he has “personally taken on” on the Vatican Bank’s hundreds of billions of Euros and swiftly magically reduced them to a mere 7 Billion - for appearance’s sake. Second, now, he has “personally taken on” responsibility for the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army of Biblical Proportions under the 27 years watch and responsibility of John Paul II – whom he’ll canonize in two weeks time. Pope Francis’s apology of “I feel compelled to personally take on all the evil of some priests…” is tantamount to President Obama if he were to say that he “personally takes on” responsibility for the Iraq War which was declared and presidentially launched by George W. Bush – in the Bush era - that has cost Americans trillions of dollars and thousands of dead and maimed young American soldiers. About the JP2 Army - if only Hollywood would make movies about those bestial Catholic pedophile priests intertwined with the hoax of the sacraments, the Vatican Catholic Church would fall down like a deck of cards and the Vatican would cease as a “country” and 175 countries would be liberated from the Vatican Concordats that usurp hundreds of billions of dollars from poor countries already buried in debt. Unfortunately, the Vatican owns the banks that finance Hollywood blockbusters. The Vatican Mammon Beast rules the world and Pope Francis is its face and voice as he fools 1.2 billion Catholics on the fake cloned flesh of Christ – even if popes and priests have no powers to clone ants, dogs or Jesus! Ripley’s Believe It or Not forgot to include the Eucharistic sorcery and magical powers of popes and priests who cannot clone ants and dogs but can clone the Son of God! The pride of Pope Francis surpasses the pride of Lucifer!
Vatican foremost Pied Piper John Allen entitled his pre-approved his article on Pope Francis apology which was orchestrated Opus Dei PR Deceits Team -“Pope takes responsibility for child abuse scandal” - which is the biggest pathological lie ever - because the historical fact is it was Pope John Paul II who had the biggest responsibility for the clergy sex abuse scandal – of thousands of bestial pedophile priests worldwide of Biblical Proportions named aptly as JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army – named after the most powerful pope who trotted the globe but said nothing and did nothing to save and protect children. The UN condemnation of the Vatican cover-up of clergy sexual abuse occurred under Pope John Paul II’s watch in the Vatican -- and not under Cardinal Bergoglio in Argentina (who was in the farthest end of the globe) –busy campaigning to be the next pope and was the first runner-up in the papal conclave that elected RATzinger Benedict XVI. BTW Bergoglio also covered-up 43 alleged pedophile priests, read here - Silence of Pope Francis-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio on Argentina 42 pedophile priests. Where are YOUR “transparency and responsibility”?
Pope Francis’s ego has become big as he takes “personal responsibility” for the 20th century sexual crimes of the Vatican against children - which was condemned by the United Nations last February - but which he sarcastically rebuffed, read our related article, Who’s the liar: Pope Francis or UN? Vatican secret thousands/files covered-up by Bishops versus UN open/thorough investigators.
The Opus Dei PR Deceits Team are misguiding 1.2 Billion Catholics to follow the “Francis Effect” and become stupid robots “Francis-Maniacs” by simply looking at Pope Francis’s podgy face – and eating the fake cloned flesh-of-Christ to numb their conscience so as to forget all Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils especially of the 20th century pedophile priests phenomenon under John Paul II’s 27 year papacy – so they’ll stupidly chant “saint” John Paul II on his canonization on April 27.
Pope Francis is the Pretender & Impostor of Jesus! Pope Francis is the LIAR who has no powers to clone Jesus or dogs in the Eucharist! Pope Francis feeds pathological lies after lies to 1.2 billion stupid robots Catholics…especially those yes-women!
Vatican Pied Pipers swept the media on Friday, April 11, tooting the Vatican Stunt of the Day that Pope Francis - wiping his crocodile tear - made his “first public” plea for forgiveness for the "evil" committed by pedophile priests – by using at the Vatican as his props - the International Catholic Child Bureau, a French Catholic network of organisations that aim to protect children's rights. But a parallel news came out – from Paris to Nigeria to China - about the arrest without bail of a 40-year old French priest of an ultra-conservative Catholic sect, Society of Saint Pius X (a false pope saint like John Paul II) who has been charged with rape, torture and “committing barbarous acts” during exorcisms involving three schoolteachers at a private religious school in the western suburbs of Paris in 2010. This relatively young priest had nothing to do with Pope Francis because his bestial crimes were committed under Benedict XVI papacy.
Remember when Benedict XVI asked the exorcist of the Vatican to cast out the Devil whom he blamed was responsible for priest pedophilia? The fact is he as Prefect of the CDF and John Paul II are responsible for condoning those pedophile priests as they covered them up together for decades. FYI, Goliath-bully Bill Donohue, this French priest is not a dead priest who committed an old sex case from a quarter of a century ago as you keep reiterating in your pathetic defense of priests.
Do Catholics and the world ever notice - that every time Pope Francis declares something that seems like a resounding success by worldly standards of the Vatican Opus Dei Deceits Team, St. Michael the Archangel always “checkmate” them? When Pope Francis “swiftly reformed” the Vatican Bank, an accidental glitz occurred on hundreds of wealthy widows’ accounts – which revealed part of the grand scope of the current crimes of Pope Francis , read our related article, Vatican Bank closes thousand accounts/criminal transactions BURNT to leave no trail of crimes further/future investigations...drowned by loud Francis-maniacs at St. Peter’s Square
Silence ensued and those stupid Catholic women simply said Amen to whatever Pope Francis will do with their millions or billions of dollars – which perhaps they’ll never see again in their (geriatric) lifetime.
One of the biggest checkmates occurred when Benedict XVI beatified John Paul II on May 1, 2011. Benedict may have consulted and confirmed with Obama on the assassination of Osama bin Laden on the same day…only to confirm how 3 World Criminals are intertwined forever on May 1 as St. Michael has been pointing out to us is the correlation between John Paul II and bin Laden. Read our related article, 9/11= 3,000 victims. JP2 Army = 100,000s victims. May 1: Hitler and bin Laden Announced Dead on John Paul II Beatification Day = 3 World Criminals!
The Jesuits for half a millennium have brainwashed women worldwide to be stupid blind robotic yes-women – especially when it comes to giving everything they’ve got like the widow in the New Testament who gave everything she’s got -- except that these are the upper wealthy women of nations. The Society of Jesus is now the Society of the Vatican Mammon Beast because Christ keeps sending visible signs – checkmates - that He is fed up being used as a prop for Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils for more than 2,000 years and it is time He is freed from Pope Francis the CON-Christ & THIEF and from the HOAX of the Eucharist where popes, cardinals, bishops and priests have no powers whatsoever to clone Him or dogs or small ants, read the worst crimes of Pope Francis more here, Hidden Heist in the Holy See? The SECRET biggest heist in the history of mankind! Pope Francis is the Greatest THIEF on earth?!
Pope Francis “first” apology is a complete pathological lie.
“I feel compelled to personally take on all the evil which some priests, quite a few in number, obviously not compared to the number of all the priests, to personally ask for forgiveness for the damage they have done for having sexually abused children. The Church is aware of this damage, it is personal, moral damage carried out by men of the Church, and we will not take one step backward with regards to how we will deal with this problem, and the sanctions that must be imposed. On the contrary, we have to be even stronger. Because you cannot interfere with children.”
Let’s dissect 10 Pope Francis pathological lies in his apology statement:
First, Pope Francis contradicting everything he just said:
”we will not take one step backward with regards to how we will deal with this problem” because a few days ago, he and his confreres the Italian bishops conference took one step backwards -- when they released the first Italian church norms – that they must legitimately protect pedophile priests – by giving the lame excuse that Italian bishops are not obliged to provide police or the public with their knowledge or files of pedophile priests, read our related article: It’s not Roman Catholic Church anymore. Pope Francis Bishop of Rome “is not a public official” with duties of "public service”: says Italian church norms.
Second, Pope Francis said “I feel compelled to personally take on all the evil… to personally ask for forgiveness for the damage they have done for having sexually abused children.” “Personally” in what really? TALK is CHEAP. Why did it take more than a year -- after he was elected pope -- to say an apology? Why did he not meet with SNAP especially David Clohessy who waited in Rome to meet him after his election as Pope? Why has he not met any victims of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army named aptly after the longest reigned pope who said nothing and did nothing to save and protect children from thousands of bestial pedophile priests worldwide? Why did he rebuff the United Nations –investigations on the Vatican worldwide cover-up of pedophile priests and then ordered his Vatican Pied Pipers to attack the UN after its scathing report, read our related articles: Vatican rebuffs UN! Catholic Church not the moral authority of the world. Holy See defies UN Convention it ratified in 1990. Vatican Titanic sunken deep in the ocean of moral bankruptcy.
Third, Pope Francis said “I feel compelled to personally take on all the evil “ – so what about his own personal participation in the cover-up of more than 43 alleged pedophile priests when he was the most powerful Cardinal in Argentina, read more here - Silence of Pope Francis-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio on Argentina accused 42 pedophile priests. Where was YOUR “transparency and responsibility”?
Fourth, Pope Francis said, “The Church is aware of this damage, it is personal, moral damage carried out by men of the Church” - but why is he as the most powerful man of the church - protecting the reputation of the Vatican by not revealing the truth and nothing but the truth and release the Vatican secret files of all pedophile priests worldwide – which the UN is requesting? Read UN condemns Vatican for crimes against humanity’s children.
Fifth - Pope Francis said, we will not take one step backward with regards to how we will deal with this problem, and the sanctions that must be imposed. Really? When will he sanction Cardinal Mahony, Cardinal Bernard Law, Bishop Finn and ALL cardinals and bishops guilty of cover-up of pedophile priests? SANCTIONS? who exactly? PAPAL TALK is CHEAP. WHEN will he turn in the Papal Nuncio WANTED BY POLICE in Dominican Republic for paying sex with minors in the pimping district of Santo Domingo? Read our related article, Abolition of Vatican Concordat in Dominican Republic and bring pedophile Papal Nuncio and other pedophile Polish priests to justice.
Sixth -- Pope Francis said, “The Church is aware of this damage, it is personal, moral damage carried out by men of the Church” – there is another crime more than the personal moral damge which includes all those highly paid managers of the Vatican Bank and Mammon Beast economists he has hired. So now why doesn’t he reveal the true files of all Vatican wealth of despots from many nations – that’s more than 19,000 accounts – and return them back to those countries? The fact is, he is adding to the “damage, it is personal, moral damage carried out by men of the Church” with his personal theft of hundreds of billions of dollars and gold from the Vatican Bank to secret Vatican Swiss Banks . read our related article, Vatican Bank closes thousand accounts/criminal transactions BURNT to leave no trail of crimes further/future investigations...drowned by loud Francis-maniacs at St. Peter’s Square.
Seventh – Pope Francis said - "On the contrary, we have to be even stronger. Because you cannot interfere with children.” Pope Francis is a pathological liar because he knows he is playing and manipulating and fooling with children’s conscience – by forcing them to chant the pathological lie of “Saint John Paul II” - by canonizing John Paul II who did nothing and said nothing to save and protect children in his 27 years as pope.
Pope Francis said, “I feel compelled to personally take on all the evil” – so why is he going ahead to personally canonize John Paul II who has two evil Achilles Heels Cardinal Bernard Law and Marcial Maciel? Read here our related articles, John Paul II the Holy Father of Lies! Cardinal Dziwisz book: “JPII knew nothing” about bestial pedophile priest Fr. Maciel is Vatican Titanic Deceits.
Eighth - Pope Francis said - "On the contrary, we have to be even stronger. Because you cannot interfere with children.” Pope Francis is a pathological liar by interfering and deceiving children with the HOAX of the Eucharist where he and all priests have no powers to clone ants and dogs and therefore they cannot clone Jesus Christ either. He should stop the magic and circus of the Eucharist this Lent, read our article Women. Legion of Christ. Opus Dei. Pope Francis Hypocrisies.
Ninth - Pope Francis said - "On the contrary, we have to be even stronger. Because you cannot interfere with children.” He should stop the title of priests as “father” or himself as “Holy Father” because in truth and in reality they do-nothing for the daily welfare of children – which the legitimate fathers toil day and night to feed, educate and house their children, read more here John Paul II the Holy Father of Lies! Cardinal Dziwisz book: “JPII knew nothing” about bestial pedophile priest Fr. Maciel is Vatican Titanic Deceits.
Tenth - Pope Francis said – “On the contrary, we have to be even stronger. Because you cannot interfere with children.” Pope Francis has blood in his hands. Because of Pope Francis’s swiftest heist in the Holy See, Pope Francis is interfering with children whom he is impoverishing in many nations. Pope Francis’s swiftest heist is the worst crime in the Vatican’s history because its ripple consequences are from generation to generation, i.e. poverty of billions of people of children, women and women, oppression of many nations by despots, wars, rapes of women and children, violence of all sorts all numbed bythe hoax of the Eucharist and “saint” John Paul II. Pope Francis Heist of Biblical Proportions perpetually cause wars, rapes of women and children due to abject poverty, and cause early death - as he is perpetually depleting and depriving billions of children by hoarding despots’ billions of dollars in secret Vatican Swiss Banks - especially Marcos of the Philippines – read our article - Hidden Heist in the Holy See? The SECRET biggest heist in the history of mankind! Pope Francis is the Greatest THIEF on earth?!
History repeats itself in the Vatican: John Paul II begets Pope Francis the greatest criminal pope!
History repeats itself in the Vatican Titanic sunken deep in the ocean of moral bankruptcy. When John Paul II apologized – on March 12, 2000 - for “all Church sins in the 2,000 years history of Catholicism", incredibly he was at the same time committing the worst pope crimes against children by covering-up the most bestial JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army named aptly after him who said nothing and did nothing to save and protect children from thousands of pedophile priests of Biblical Proportions. When the JP2 Army first exploded in Boston in 2002, John Paul II had ample time to meet with victims and get rid of 80 pedophile priests who sodomized them, but instead he ignored them and promoted Cardinal Bernard Law to Rome after we forced him to resign as Archbishop of Boston. John Paul II left it to the next pope to clean up his mess. Benedict XVI RATzinger had to face John Paul II’s crimes – brought to The Hague and the United Nations. Benedict XVI couldn’t take the heat or keep up with the deceits and so he resigned, the first pope to do so in 600 years!
When Pope John Paul II apologized for “all” (it seemed) Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils of 2,000 years including Galileo, the world was mesmerized and believed he had covered everything – except he was committing – behind the scenes - the cover-up of the worst crimes against children by his bestial JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army of the 20th century. The 6,100 pedophile priests in the USA plus countless others worldwide which he and Cardinal Ratzinger later Benedict XVI covered-up was only beginning to be unraveled in 2002 in Boston, three years before his death and culminated with the United Nations condemnation on the Vatican for its crimes against children worldwide last February - on the eve of his canonization, .
Today, on the eve of his canonization, the Polish Bishop whom he ordained in Poland who became the Papal Nuncio is wanted by Interpol for crimes of pedophilia and pederasty in the Dominican Republic and Pope Francis is hiding and protecting him. The main reason why Pope Francis cannot give him topolice and secular court is because as Papal Nuncio, his diplomatic immunity enabled him to transfer tens of billions of dollars to the Vatican Bank. These annual deposits comes from the Vatican Concordats that entitles the Vatican State billions of dollars in tax exempt revenues from each of the 175 countries they control, read more here - Abolition of Vatican Concordat in Dominican Republic and bring pedophile Papal Nuncio and other pedophile Polish priests to justice.
John Paul II Millstone.
Benedict XVI’s holy hollow apologies
Benedict XVI-RATzinger apologized for the “clergy sexual abuse” which we call the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army of the 20th century – named aptly after the most traveled pope, who wrote the most number of books and speeches more than all popes combined , the longest reigned and most famous pope who said nothing and did nothing to protect and save children. Benedict XVI in a spectacular Mass at St. Pater’s Square together with 15,000 priests in the Year for Priests, apologized for the JP2 Army and blamed the Devil, read here Eve and Benedict XVI blame the Devil. Analysis of Pope’s homily in Year for Priests -sorcerers of Christ’s flesh and blood.
United Nations did not buy Pope’s apology
But the United Nations did not buy Benedict XVI-RATzinger’s apologies and went ahead and investigate the Vatican. Last February in a historic first, the United Nations condemned the Vatican for crimes against children. Read our articles, UN condemns Vatican for crimes against children.. HOORAH. 10 Reasons to abolish the papacy and why there should never be another pope.
And swiftly, Pope Francis sent Vatican Vipers to attack the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child as retaliation of the UN’s condemnation on the Vatican crimes against children, read our related article.
Unfortunately The Hague’s judges sold their souls to the Vatican Mammon Beast as most of them are Catholics and so did not bring Benedict XVI-RATzinger to trial for his crimes against humanity, read our article here - The Hague is above Pope, Vatican, Religion. The Hague must prosecute Benedict XVI now to prove secular International Justice reigns over ALL Religions and Despots.
Benedict XVI's endless pathological lies: John Paul II sainthood and "Child abuse won't happen again"...but he could not buy Fr. Maciel's victims.
Benedict XVI and the Vatican are the worst pathological liars on earth. Benedict XVI is the mythomaniac of the 21st century!!!

10 Reasons why there should never be another Pope.
Yes, I’ve had Ratzinger’s picture prominently displayed on this site and, given his long record both as the pope and as the one person responsible for handling all sex-crime cases in the Church, I strongly believed him to be incompetent at best.
However, FireThePope doesn’t just mean fire Joseph Ratzinger. FireThePope isn’t a cause to bring down one man. FireThePope is an effort to expose the entire Roman Catholic Church, as is, as fraudulent and there is no better way to do that than to start at the top.
Not your Father’s church.
The Roman Catholic Church sets itself apart from all other religions, including Christian denominations, by claiming its head, the pope, is the successor of Peter and that Jesus anointed Peter to be the head of his church. The Church points to Matthew 16:13-20 to support this claim. Catholics conclude the Roman Catholic Church is the “one true church” of Jesus Christ and all other Protestant or non-Roman orthodox churches are inferior to it.
Roman Catholics call their church “the bride of Christ” and “Holy Mother Church”. These nicknames market the idea that Roman Catholicism dates back to the days of Jesus Christ and it – or “She”, as they say – is the very foundation of Christianity and all other religions are mere offshoots or sequels to Roman Catholicism.
Ultimately, Roman Catholicism rests solely on the supremacy of Peter and the apostles. Without the supremacy of Peter, there would be no pope. Without the supremacy of the apostles, there would be no priesthood as the Roman Church defines it. Without the superhuman powers of Catholic priests, bye-bye sacraments, indulgences, and the entire institution.
Today, let’s focus on the papacy. Following are ten reasons why there should never be another pope and, if there is, he should be completely ignored by the Catholic laity, the media, politicians, and the public at large.
Because the Vatican bases its very existence on a scene from the New Testament, it must also accept other verses of the NT in order to be consistent. Either the NT should be accepted as true, non-fictional accounts or not. Either those accounts must be taken literally or not. But, one cannot say this is a source of truth, inspired by the Holy Spirit and then pick and choose which passages the Church wants to follow or not.
1. The church of Jesus Christ in the bible was not a physical empire. Matthew 24:1-2 - ”Jesus left the temple precincts then, and his disciples came up and pointed out to him the buildings of the temple area. His comment was: ‘Do you see all these buildings? I assure you, not one stone will be left on another – it will all be torn down.’” 1 Corinthians 3:16 – “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you?” Also, Peter 2:5-9 – “Be yourselves as living stones built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Jesus preached in homes and on hillsides, not in buildings. He only went in to temples to draw people out of them or to scold the church leaders. The word catholic, found in the bible with a lower-case c, means universal. In the first century, the wordchurch meant a society of men, women, and children who are spiritually – not necessarily physically – united to serve God. According to the NT, Jesus established the catholic church – a universal society of believers who would offer spiritualsacrifices. I explain below who really instituted the Roman Catholic Church, which requires material (pagan) sacrifices.
2. The church of Jesus Christ was not built upon one man. The idea that the church of Jesus was built upon one man is preposterous. Yet, that is what the Roman Church claims. Its only foundation is the notion that Peter was chosen by Jesus to be the first pope and that all popes are Peter’s successors, chosen by the Holy Spirit and infallible in all of their declarations. Roman Catholicism teaches that the pope, acting on behalf of the Church has the power and a duty to act as a mediator between the Creator and his creatures. It has been a long-held tradition that the Vatican, the Magisterium, and the clergy would interpret the bible for the laity. However, 1 Corinthians 3:11 reads, “For other foundation no one can lay, but that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ”. According to scripture, Jesus, not Peter, is the foundation of the Christian church. Jesus is also the sole mediator, so says 1 Timothy 2:5: ”And the truth is this: ‘God is one. One also is the mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, and who gave himself ransom for all.” According to the New Testament where Catholics turn to justify the existence of their Church, there is only one mediator between God and the people and that is Jesus Christ, not Peter and not Joseph Ratzinger.
3. The church of Jesus Christ in the bible did not have a pope.The word pope is not in the bible, where the Roman Church points to as justification for itself. The early church described in the New Testament speaks of bishops who were overseers or local supervisors of the effort to spread Christianity. They were not rulers over the people. No one bishop had authority over any other. No one bishop was the head of the effort. There was a bishop in many major cities, including one in Rome. It so happened that certain Roman emperors (namely Constantine and Charlemagne) elevated the position and authority of the bishop of Rome, specifically, because they had the power to do so and because it was convenient as Rome was the seat of power. Emperors appointed bishops and abbots and usually appointed members of aristocratic families. The idea of a pope – one bishop over all others – was a corrupt power grab by murderous dictators and had nothing to do with Jesus Christ or anything in the bible.
4. The Peter of the throne was not the apostle but an impostor. Remember, the apostle Peter originally went by the name of Simon. Then, he was referred to as Simon Peter. Jesus named him Peter at the rock because the name Peter – or Petros (Greek) means rock. This Peter was from Cyprus, according to the bible. But, there is another Simon in the bible, this one from Samaria and he was a troublemaker. Locals called him Simon the Magician. He claimed to be able to do magic tricks and held The Circus of Nero in Vaticanus Hill. Simon Magnus claimed he was God (hence, the magic) and he became a nemesis, a rival, and a thorn in the side of the apostle Peter. There was such trouble between the two that Emperor Nero set up a contest to settle their differences. Simon Magnus was killed after being thrown from his chariot and so Nero, who had favored him, had Peter arrested and thrown in jail. If there was a pope on a throne in the days of the early church, it was not Peter the Apostle but Simon the Magician. Simon sat on a throne; Peter never did. Simon claimed to be God; Peter never did. Simon claimed to have supernatural powers; Peter never did. Simon Magnus even started going by the name Peter in order to confuse people. They both had the same name, they both died in the same year – 67 A.D., and they both had spent time in Rome. The proof that the Simon of Samaria, not Cyprus, sat on the throne in Rome is the documentation that Magnus stayed in Rome for many years at a time while the apostle came and went quite often.
5. The apostle Peter never considered himself God or Jesus Christ. Again, the idea of the papacy rests on the supremacy of Peter. The Roman Church claims the pope is “Christ’s (sole) representative on earth”. The Peter whom the popes are supposed to have succeeded was married with at least one child – a daughter. He never sat on a throne and he never claimed to have magic powers or to be infallible. He never claimed to be better or more important than the other apostles or early leaders of the Christian church. He never dressed in fancy clothes, he never wore a ring to be kissed, and he never insisted on the red carpet treatment. Acts 10:25-27: “As Peter entered, Cornelius went to meet him, dropped to his knees before him and bowed low. Peter said, ‘Get up! I am only a man myself.’” When Nero sentenced Peter to death by crucifixion, Peter insisted on hanging on the cross upside down because he was unworthy to die as Jesus died. Peter the apostle, claimed by the Church as the first pope was never a pope and his philosophy and practices, according to the New Testament, were a far contrast to those of the papacy no matter who is holding the title.
6. The Roman Catholic Church was not established until the 4th Century. Roman Catholics claim Peter of the bible was the first pope and that there is an unbroken line of popes stretching from biblical times to present-day. This claim is nothing but a re-writing of history. The Church needs that lineage in order to justify itself and the papacy yet it does not have the facts on its side so they have to create a new reality. What the Church has done is go back and list anyone who was a bishop of Rome as a pope. The actual papacy didn’t begin until the Roman Catholic Church began and that wasn’t until the 4th Century with Pope Constantine I – the emperor – who ruled from the “chair of St. Peter” from 306-337. Constantine came to the rescue of Christians who were being persecuted by Emperor Diocletian. It’s not that he was overcome by compassion but realized he could take political advantage from the growing number of Christians. This ties the pagan Roman Empire to the Catholic Church whose members also worship objects and offer material sacrifices.
Not Jesus’ interpretation of “church”.
7. The papacy was on life support as recently as 1870. In the mid-19th Century, there was an effort to unify Italy which was split in two by the Papal States governed by the pope, then Pope Pius IX (the one who dreamed up Immaculate Conception). Victor Emmanuel II, the new King of Italy, had seized all of the Church-controlled territory except a small segment of Rome. Napoleon, who had previously been an ally of Emmanuel, protected the pope and by having some of his troops stand guard at the Vatican. When the Franco-Prussia War intensified, Napoleon pulled his troops out of Rome, leaving the pope defenseless. The Italian troops moved in and the pope lost all of his temporal (civil) power minus rule over the tiny territory of the Vatican. Emmanuel allowed the pope to keep the Vatican and freed him from Italian rule but the pope was defiant. Pius IX refused to recognize Emmanuel’s new kingdom and he voluntarily kept himself a prisoner of the Vatican. He cried anti-Catholic bias until support and donations poured in for him, including from Catholics in America. The empire of the Roman Church was all but lost in 1870. It took more deception to keep it alive.
8. The papacy was corruptly propped back up by a fascist dictator. In the 1920′s, the Italian government wished to settle its differences with the Church. At the time, the Prime Minister of Italy was Benito Mussolini. He conspired with the Vatican to shut out populist factions in the country in order to amass more power and control for himself. The Vatican silenced priests who favored a more democratic government. In return, Mussolini gifted the Church by officially recognizing the Vatican as an independent and sovereign city-state. Within the borders of Italy, popes would receive diplomatic immunity and the Church would receive financial reparations for its loss of the Papal States. Also, Roman Catholicism would be the one state religion in Italy. These agreements were called the Lateran Pacts and they are what revived the much weakened papacy. Mussolini would go on to become one of history’s most brutal dictators. Today, Vatican City, the whole 0.2 square miles of it, is recognized by the United Nations as a sovereign city-state of which the pope is head.
A Dictator legitimizes the Roman Catholic Church.
9. The pope is an absolute monarch at a time when most educated and reasonable human beings believe in freedom, democracy, and accountability. In 2011, the world witnessed what is now referred to as The Arab Spring. Ordinary people protested – many to their deaths – for freedom, respect, and democratic elections. Many citizens of some nations in the Middle East had been oppressed for generations and they finally decided it was time to take a stand against tyranny. It has been said there is a natural hunger to live freely, no matter what part of the world one lives. The pope is an absolute monarch, only one of a few that still exist and certainly the most powerful. As such, and because he enjoys diplomatic immunity both in Italy and out, he is accountable to no one. The pope is elected but not by the people he represents as in a democracy. He is elected by the same men whom he appointed to the College of Cardinals. Once a pope takes office, he is unaccountable to anyone inside the Church or out. This type of power is contrary to what the New Testament described when Jesus turned tables on the clergy. The pope, like Simon Magnus, claims to be God. Only someone with a God-complex would claim to be above the law and every other human being.
10. The papacy is not inspired by the Holy Spirit. If anything, it would be inspired by the spirit of Lucifer. As construction workers ready the Vatican chimney for the upcoming puffs of white smoke or black, ational human beings are expected to believe that the Holy Spirit is guiding the process of the papal conclave. When cardinals vote a certain way, we are told, it was because the Holy Spirit told them to. It’s time for a reality check. Many of the men who will be voting – or running – for the next pope have blood on their hands – blood ofchildren. Yet, we are supposed to believe they have an inside track to the Holy Spirit. From the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church, throughout its history, and including today, Roman Catholicism has been a corrupt empire disguised as a Christian religion. I’ve heard many people credit it merely because “it has been around for 2,000 years”. It hasn’t been around that long and does it matter that it has only survived as long has it has because it has succeeded in fooling gullible people? Does it matter that it has grown as large as it has because many of its converts joined only under the threat of death? Does it matter than the majority of Catholics were entered into the Church before the age of reason? Catholics are quick to remind us of “all the good the Church does”. There isn’t a tyrant in history that couldn’t claim the same. Evil almost always presents itself in disguise – as something good. When deception is the foundation of an institution, no amount of superficial acts that come out of it can make it good. Deeds and institutions can only be good if they are based in truth. Like it or not, the spirit that is guiding the Roman Catholic Church isn’t holy, it is evil. And the only way to kill a serpent is by chopping off its head.
