TACKLING the TOUGH TOPICS

FACING AMERICANS TODAY!

 

Issue # 75 // January 20, 2006 // Editor: Darryl Eberhart

 

“DECEITFUL REVISERS AND

 EDITORS OF HISTORY” 

 ((NOTE:  All emphasis throughout this newsletter, unless otherwise noted, is by the editor of “Tackling the Tough Topics (TTT).  Some issues of my TTT newsletters and my “Examining the Tough Issues (ETI) newsletters can be read on the following three Internet web sites:

www.tacklingthetoughtopics.net , www.calltodecision.com , and www.libertytothecaptives.net . The last site has a link to the first site.)) 

WARNING: This issue of the TTT newsletter may seriously “disturb” some folks’ “comfort zones”.   However, TRUTH is far more important than any of our “comfort zones”.   

IMPORTANT NOTE #1:  I (the editor of the ETI & TTT newsletters) am not a Roman Catholic; I also most definitely am not anti-Roman Catholic as far as individual Roman Catholics go.  My dad and 90% of my relatives are Roman Catholic; my best friend is Roman Catholic; and the majority of my friends are Roman Catholic.  I am, however, against the top levels of secret societies (from the hierarchy of the Jesuit Order to the hierarchy of Freemasonry).  This is because these secret societies control the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church (through the Jesuit Order and P2 Masonry).  These secret societies also control the leadership of most of the larger, non-Catholic, Christian denominations.  I am also against any religious hierarchy that tries to place itself equal to or above the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God – or equal to or above God’s Holy Word (i.e., the Holy Bible) and His Ten Commandments! 

IMPORTANT NOTE #2:  We can no longer afford to REMAIN SILENT on these critical issues for fear of offending any particular group – in this case, Roman Catholics.  Please carefully consider this quote by author Dave Hunt: “We are told to love one another as Christ has loved us.  Pop psychology trivializes that command by equating it with a ‘positive’ attitude.  Forgotten is the first duty of love: to speak the truth (Ephesians 4:15).  Real love does not flatter or soothe when correction is needed but [rather] points out the error which is blinding and harming the loved one.  Christ said, ‘As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous, therefore, and repent’ (Revelation 3:19).  Instead, the idea is now current that love excludes rebuke, ignores the truth, and seeks unity at any price.  Only disaster can result.”   

Why Am I Writing More & More About Roman Catholicism? 

            This editor of the ETI and TTT newsletters has been writing more on the Roman Catholic Church’s hierarchy, and especially its Jesuit Order, in recent newsletters because I keep uncovering more and more about the deep hatred that the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has for independent Bible-believing Christians, Protestants, Orthodox Christians, and Jews.  We Americans have, for the most part, been largely ignorant of the well-documented history of the Roman Catholic Church in conducting brutal religious genocide (via Inquisition, ‘holy’ wars, and ‘holy’ crusades) against all the afore-mentioned groups. (Please see my TTT newsletters entitled “Death by Government and Death by Church” and “Bloody Hands & Wicked Hearts” on Internet web sites: www.tacklingthetoughtopics.net and www.calltodecision.com.))  Sadly, many Americans believe the “ecumenical rhetoric” of the Roman Catholic Church’s hierarchy – i.e., that she has “changed her ways” and now loves all the “separated brethren”.  However, my study of the Papacy shows me that this is just a RUSE. (Per Webster’s New World Dictionary a “ruse” is: “a stratagem” [which is] “any trick or scheme for achieving some purpose.)  The “purpose” is to bring all non-Catholic Christian denominations under the “umbrella” (i.e., the authoritative and totalitarian rule) of the Papacy! 

Yes, the Papacy, despite its “ecumenical rhetoric”, has not changed a bit over the many centuries in the following categories: 

  • Its deep hatred of Jews, all independent Bible-believing non-Catholic Christians, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians (as recently as the 1940s we find the Roman Catholic Ustashi in Croatia, led on by priests, monks, and friars, brutally slaughtering from 600,000 to one million Serb Orthodox Christian men, women, elderly, and children);
  • Its long-held dream to bring all non-Catholic Christians under its monopolistic, totalitarian, ecclesiastical control;
  • Its long-held dream to head up a totalitarian one-world religious organization; and,
  • Its long-held dream to bring all world leaders – especially those in “Christian” countries – under the temporal power of the pope. (That is, the Papacy would be the top player and “controller” in a one-world government – just like it was the top player and “controller” on the European continent for many centuries! Kings indeed bowed before popes.)

Indeed, power – absolute power – has long been the Vatican’s “primary objective”.  History has recorded the Vatican’s deep hatred for religious liberty and freedom of conscience.  The U.S. Constitution, with it “Bill of Rights” guaranteeing such liberties, has long been hated by the Vatican. (For a good example of this hatred of religious liberty and freedom of conscience, read the Syllabus of Errors that was issued in 1864 by Pope Pius IX.)  I have heard that there is an acronym in use by some Knights of Columbus in America.  This acronym is “M.A.C.”: Make America Catholic”.  America is the last “roadblock” in the way of the Vatican and the rest of the globalist rich and power elite in their dreams for one-world government and one-world religion.  Is America scheduled for a religious genocide – another Inquisition – as occurred in the 1940s in Croatia?   I believe the danger is very real and possibly quite imminent – and that is why I am writing about the Roman Catholic Church’s hierarchy, its long-held dreams for domination, and its well-document history of religious genocide!

HERE ARE SOME RELEVANT QUOTATIONS: 

            “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.  Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country... It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world(1928)

            Edward Bernays (Called by some the “Father of Public Opinion”) 

            “For 300 years past the Church of Rome has striven by an unceasing torrent of false histories, pamphlets, and lectures to conceal from the nation [i.e., Great Britain] and the world the true face of her terrible history before and during the Reformation.”

            Albert Close (Author of the book Jesuit Plots from Elizabethan to Modern Times) 

            “Surely some Jesuit hand must have been at work influencing ‘Lord’ Romilly              [Ed. Note: the “Master of the Rolls” (who was in charge of State Papers) in England] when he appointed [in 1859] a Roman Catholic [William Barclay Turnbull] to edit the State Papers of the reigns of [King] Edward VI [king: 1547-53] and [Catholic Queen] Mary [I; queen: 1553-58], above all others; and later to appoint the Rev. Joseph Stevenson as successor.”

Albert Close 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: Interestingly, Joseph Stevenson later ‘becomes’ a Jesuit in 1882.  I’m sure his ‘later conversion’, and his becoming a Jesuit priest, were just coincidences as concerns his earlier appointment to edit British history at the office of the “Master of the Rolls”.  Has American history similarly been edited to remove any evidence of Vatican and Jesuit wrongdoing?  It sure seems that it has!)) 

            “The greatest danger and damage to true British history today lies in the almost criminal folly of the [British] Government appointing Roman Catholics and Anglo-Romanists to edit the Official Calendars of State Papers from the original Manuscripts of the Reformation times.

            By clever maneuvering, Rome [i.e., the Vatican – the Papacy] has succeeded in the past in getting Roman Catholic Calendarers on the Staff of the Master of the Rolls, with the result that Vatican Documents and other old State Papers have either been suppressed in our National Calendars of State Papers or edited in favor of the Church of Rome.” – Albert Close 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: I do not know if I would use the word “folly” in the first sentence of the above quotation. Powerful people in the British government knew exactly what they were doing. The Vatican has for centuries instructed its “agents” (e.g., Jesuits, Knights of Malta, Knights of Columbus, etc.) to infiltrate governments, other religious denominations, intelligence agencies, universities and colleges, school board committees, publishing houses, etc., in a carefully planned and orchestrated effort to “erase”, as much as possible, the Vatican’s history of religious genocide and persecution, of fomenting revolutions and wars, of assassinating heads of State, and of torture and Inquisition – and also to “rewrite & revise” history textbooks and encyclopedias.  This effort has been immensely successful.)) 

“There can be no shadow of doubt that the Jesuits and the Anglo-Romanist party in Britain have gained great influence over the Cable Services, Press Agencies, B.B.C., and chief newspapers of Great Britain – Albert Close 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: The same thing has happened here in the USA!))

            “There is no doubt that the American Catholic hierarchy has entered the political arena, and that it is becoming more and more aggressive in extending the frontiers of Catholic authority into the fields of medicine, education, and foreign policy…  As we shall see in this book [Ed. Note: American Freedom and Catholic Power], the Catholic hierarchy in this country [i.e., the USA] has great power as a pressure group, and no editor, politician, publisher, merchant or motion-picture producer can express defiance openly – or publicize documented facts – without risking his future.” (1949; Quote was taken from his book American Freedom and Catholic Power.) – Paul Blanchard (Journalist and author) 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote:  Please remember that this quote was made in 1949.    The power of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the USA has not diminished from that time, but has, in fact, grown.  Many powerful Knights of Malta (under the control of the Roman Catholic Jesuit Order) have held key positions in America’s mainstream media (e.g., Henry Robinson Luce and William Randolph Hearst), in U.S. intelligence agencies (e.g., CIA chiefs William Donovan, John McCone, and William Casey), in U.S. banking, in the U.S. government, etc.  Top-level Knights of Columbus (e.g., Senator Ted Kennedy) have held, and continue to hold, key positions in the U.S. government.  Many of these men do NOT have the best interests of the American people at heart – rather, they serve the interests of the Vatican and her Jesuit Order.  These men share the goals of the Vatican for a one-world government and one-world religion under the leadership and control of the papacy!)) 

            “In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests [Ed. Note: controlled by the Rockefellers]got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the U.S. and [a] sufficient number of them to CONTROL generally the policy of the daily press of the United States.  These 12 men worked the problem out by selecting 179 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process to retain only those necessary for the purpose of CONTROLLING.  They found it was necessary to purchase CONTROL of 25 of the greatest [news] papers.  The 25 [news] papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers.  An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly SUPERVISE and EDIT information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the INTERESTS of the PURCHASERS… This policy also included the SUPPRESSION of everything in opposition to the wishes of the INTERESTS SERVED.”  (Statement placed in the Congressional Record in 1917)

            Oscar Callaway (U.S. Congressman) 

            “There is probably no important magazine or newspaper in the country [Ed. Note: the USA] that is not COMMUNIST-penetrated to some degree.”

            Whittaker Chambers (1901-1961; American journalist; ex-member of the Communist Party of the United States) 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: For whom do the Communists work?  Author Gary Allen tells us: “The Rockefeller family, through their Chase Manhattan Bank and other entities, have been great benefactors of the Soviet Union ever since [the] Communist Revolution in Russia.”  Which brings us to these questions: For whom do the Rockefellers work?  Do they have any connections to the Rothschilds, who hold the title “Guardians of the Vatican Treasury”?))

            “I questioned Dr. [Alberto] Rivera about the briefings he received in the Vatican when he was a Jesuit priest.  I asked him if he was briefed on how the Vatican planned to take over the United States.  He told me [that] his indoctrination [training as a Jesuit] went back [into American history] to the time of the Pilgrims.  Because of the knowledge of the Inquisition and the slaughter of Christians by the Roman Catholic system, the early immigrants in America began passing laws to keep Jesuits out of this country and to outlaw the massto protect themselves from a Vatican takeover.  These were Christian communities deeply concerned about the ‘whore [that is found in the book] of Revelation’.

            Jesuits began arriving in America as early as the second group of Pilgrims.  They used different names with identifications.  They were followed years later when the Vatican sent multitudes of Catholic families from England, Ireland, and France – posing as Protestants – into the colonies.  These were ‘plants’.  They were holding secret masses in defiance of the laws.  In those days, no Roman Catholic was to hold any position in civil government.  The Jesuits made sure this part of our history was erased and removed.

            The next major move by the Jesuits was to destroy or control all the Christian schools across America.  Throughout the years, Jesuits, working undercover, have gotten into special committees on school boards to remove the emphasis of the Bible and replace it with psychology as found in the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius de Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Society.  Later, Catholic schools and universities sprang up all across the nation under the Jesuits.  Today, they probably outnumber all the Christian schools and colleges put together.

            The third stage was to move into the courts and legislationto take over as judges and lawyers in order to manipulate the Constitution in their favor until it could be changed.  Once this was accomplished, the thrust was into politics to capture the political parties.  Then [the Jesuits moved on to] the military and the newspapers.  Even back in the time of Lincoln over half the newspapers in the United States were controlled by the Vatican.”

            Jack Chick (Author and publisher) 

((Ed. Comments to the preceding quote: 

(1) If you have any doubts about the above claims by Jack Chick concerning the power and influence of the Papacy, and especially her Jesuit Order, then you need to check out his book Smokescreens, the book A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt, the book The Secret History of the Jesuits by Edmond Paris, the book 50 Years in the Church of Rome by Charles Chiniquy, and the book Is Alberto for Real?

(2) If you have any doubts about the Vatican’s heavy-duty takeover of much of America’s newspapers, magazines, etc., then please do some research on such Jesuit-controlled Knights of Malta named William Randolph Hearst and Henry Robinson Luce. 

(3) Jack Chick says the Vatican controlled HALF of the [major] newspapers in the USA back in the time of Lincoln!  What percentage of the U.S. mainstream press does she now control?)) 

“In 1997, wealthy media mogul Rupert Murdoch received papal knighthood for promoting the Catholic Church and the pope’s interests.  This Roman Catholic version [i.e., the NIV] is Rupert’s bestseller!  Let’s face it:  Roman Catholic [Bible] versions have become big business.” – David W. Daniels (Author of the book Did The Catholic Church Give Us The Bible?)

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: I would again like to remind the reader of this newsletter that a number of wealthy Knights of Malta (a Roman Catholic Order that is headquartered with, and controlled by, the Jesuit Superior General) have been major players in the publication business, such as Henry Robinson Luce and William Randolph Hearst.)) 

I. INTRODUCTION

             This editor of ETI and TTT loves history – that is, I love TRUE history.  History is indeed quite frequently “stranger than fiction”.  Sadly, a whole lot of important history – history that should be known by the American people – has disappeared down a very deep “memory hole”.  And even more history is headed for that deep “memory hole”.  This history that has disappeared – or is in the process of disappearing – is true history that is very unfavorable to the Vatican and/or her Jesuit Order.  It is very ugly, dark history – history that the Vatican and her Jesuit Order are working overtime to destroy forever.  It is history that the Vatican and Jesuit Order want the American people to forget – or, in the case of many Americans, to never learn.   It is the well-documented history of the Vatican and/or her Jesuit Order in the following categories: 

  • Mass murder (frequent religious genocide, often on a massive scale – e.g., brutal slaughter of Jews; Orthodox Christians; independent Christian groups such as the Albigenses and the Waldenses; Protestant Christians in Ireland and Bohemia, and the Protestant French Huguenots; etc.)
  • Mass torture of human beings (via ‘holy’ Inquisition)
  • The assassination of heads of State (e.g., President Lincoln, Tsar Alexander I, Tsar Alexander II, King Henry III of France, King Henry IV of France, etc.)
  • Meddling in the affairs of State in numerous nations
  • Fomenting and orchestrating bloody revolutions and wars (including two world wars)
  • Hating religious liberty, freedom of conscience, and representative government.

            Cui bono?  That is, who benefits from this disappearing history that Americans should know about if they want to preserve their liberties and their Constitutional Republic? 

            Some folks allege that “the Jews” run (i.e., control) America’s publishing houses, its mainstream media, etc.   If this were so, then why would these “Jews” be aiding and abetting the Vatican and her Jesuit Order by covering up their numerous crimes against humanity?  After all, the Jews have suffered horribly at the hands of the Vatican!  Inquiring minds surely would like to know! 

            I would like to cover some historical events here in this issue of TTT that I have covered in previous newsletters – albeit more briefly here, but with some new data wherever possible – especially some new quotations.  So I ask those of you have read many of my previous newsletters to “stay with me” as I cover these pieces of “disappearing history”, even though I will be repeating some information here that has appeared in some of my more recent newsletters.  ((I keep finding more new quotes to use in these newsletters that deal with much of this rapidly disappearing history.))

            History is indeed very important.  While the dates, names of the leading players, and locations change, the basic scenarios of tyranny, oppression, manipulated wars, etc., keep repeating over and over again.  We should never forget these wise words from the Spanish philosopher George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” 

            In my last TTT newsletter, entitled “The Real Controllers of the USA”, I talked about “front groups”, “Red herrings”, and various smoke screens used by the real power brokers operating “behind the scenes” to confuse us as to true history, and as to what is currently going on in our country, the American Constitutional Republic.  Revising and editing history – or, flushing parts of it completely down that deep “memory hole” – is a major part of this carefully planned strategy of deceit and control.  And one of the greatest tools in their hands is a group of people whom I call the deceitful revisers and editors of history”.  These “revisers” and “editors” of true history have been very successful in the dirty work of erasing true history.  They can be found on school board committees, in publishing houses, and in many institutes of higher learning.  They are the editors of many top newspapers and newsmagazines.  They write articles for history textbooks and for encyclopedias.  They have infiltrated every important strata of our society.  They have destroyed, and are in the process of destroying, many important portions of both American history and European history – especially here in America!

 II. IMPORTANT EXAMPLES OF REVISED HISTORY (E.G., PORTIONS OF HISTORY RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING DOWN A VERY DEEP “MEMORY HOLE”)

 A. Vicious Religious Genocide Against the Albigenses and Waldenses

             So few Americans are aware of the Vatican’s horrible persecution of Christian groups in the 12th through 16th centuries – much of it occurring long before the term “Protestants” ever came into being.  Various popes ordered Catholic monarchs to send army after army against the Christian Albigenses in southern France, and against the Christian Waldenses in France and northern Italy – against farmers and peasants who were peaceful, moral people.

             Here are just a few quotes dealing with this horrible religious genocide by the Vatican against innocent Christian men, women, elderly, and children:

             “The Albigensian Crusades slash through the history of France and of the Church like a gaping wound.  From 1208 to 1226 the papacy sent army after army to the South of France to crush the Albigensian ‘heretics’ and to punish their supporters.  They [i.e., the Albigensian Crusades] began with a calculated act of terror, the massacre of [Ed. Note: large numbers of men, women, and children at] Beziers; they ended with the establishment of the Inquisition, one of the most effective means of ‘thought control’ that Europe has ever known. ((Ed. Comment: The papal army butchered about 20,000 citizens of this French city populated then mainly by the Albigenses.)) They [the papal armies] were completely successful: The losing faith, the Albigensian ‘Heresy’, was exterminated.

 Their disappearance as a social group was carefully planned and executed with persistent cruelty.”  ((Ed. Comment: This is a clear example of religious genocide!))

            Frank Chalk and Kurt Jonassohn (Co-authors of the book The History and Sociology of GENOCIDE)

[The Albigenses] preached against the immoralities of the [Catholic] priesthood, pilgrimages, worship of saints and idolsopposed the claims of the Church of Rome; made great use of the Scriptures.

By 1167 they [i.e., the Albigenses] embraced possibly a majority of the population of South France.

In 1208 a crusade was ordered by Pope Innocent III; a bloody war of extermination followed, scarcely paralleled in history.  Town after town was put to the sword, and the inhabitants murdered without distinction of age or sex.

Within a hundred years the Albigenses were utterly rooted out.”

            Henry H. Halley (Author of the Pocket Bible Handbook) 

“These religious crusades [carried out by armies dispatched by order of the Vatican] and [accompanying] genocide (frequently in the form of State-Church genocide) were often directed at innocent peasants and farmers (e.g., Albigenses, Waldenses, French Huguenots, etc.) whose only ‘crimes’ were placing the Bible in higher authority than the pope, and refusing to recognize papal authority.  These innocent people were falsely called ‘heretics’ [by the Roman Catholic hierarchy].  Papal armies were raised (often using murderers, rapists, etc., who had been released from prisons) and sent to exterminate entire villages and regions.” (July 13, 2005)

            Darryl Eberhart (Editor of “Tackling the Tough Topics”) 

            This church [i.e., the Roman Catholic Church] that claims to be “Christian” was involved in butchering, torturing, and killing in the cruelest ways those Christians who disagreed with papal authority – or who merely wanted to read, study, and share the Word of God.   Mass murder (i.e., religious genocide) by this religious institution didn’t just occur in the 12th through the 16th centuries – it occurred as recently as the 1940s in Croatia, where the Roman Catholic Ustashi militia, led by Roman Catholic clergymen, tortured and murdered from 600,000 to one million innocent Serb Orthodox Christian men, women, elderly, and children. ((Please see section II., (letter) I.)) 

            Why isn’t this history taught to American school children?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people? 

((For additional information on this topic, please read my TTT #72 entitled “Death by Government and Death by Church” and my TTT #73 entitled “Bloody Hands & Wicked Hearts” on Internet web sites: www.tacklingthetoughtopics.net and www.calltodecision.com.))

 B. The Inquisition and Torture 

            Author David W. Daniels gives us a brief “history” of the Inquisition in his book Did The Catholic Church Give Us The Bible? ( : ) 

   THE INQUISITION: The Horror Begins – With each council the level of terror increased: 

  • 1184 – Synod of Verona: Burn heretics at the stake.
  • 1215 – 4th Lateran Council: Burn heretics and take their property.  The ‘Inquisition’ is formed.
  • 1220 – Inquisition is handed to the newly formed Dominican Order.
  • 1229 – Synod of Toulouse makes the Inquisition a systematic process – [Accused victims are] guilty until proven innocent!
  • 1252 – Pope Innocent IV: Torture is doctrinally acceptable to make an accused heretic ‘confess’.
  • 1484 – Pope Innocent VIII publishes ‘Summus Desiderantes’ to support his inquisitors.
  • 1486 – [Pope] Innocent VIII publishes ‘Malleus Maleficorum’ (Witch-Hammer), the systematic guide to detect, torture and execute a suspected ‘witch’.  But the deck was stacked against you:

1.      Almost never see your accuser.

2.      Never know why or of what you are accused.

3.      No lawyer.  You have to prove your innocence.

4.      You’re presumed guilty – period.

5.      The promise anything, but kill you anyway!” 

            If the brutal Inquisition were merely something that existed a thousand years ago, then maybe there would be no need to discuss it here.  However, the office of the ‘holy’ Inquisition STILL exists – it has never disappeared.  Oh yes, because of the “bad press” that it has received in the past, the Vatican has made two “name changes”.

             F. Tupper Saussy, in his book Rulers of Evil, points out these two name changes:

 “Pontifex Maximus has laundered the Inquisition’s name twice.  In 1908, Pope Pius X renamed it ‘the Holy Office’, which [Pope] Paul VI transformed into [the] ‘Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’ in 1965.”

             The office of Inquisition was set up in the 12th century.  Initially, the Dominicans were in charge of it.  Later, the Jesuit Order would take the office of Inquisition from the Dominicans. 

            I will not name the encyclopedia here, but I did read in this encyclopedia, under the entry entitled “Inquisition”, a typical whitewash of this sick, barbaric, and inhuman institution (called the ‘holy’ Inquisition).  Basically, whoever wrote the article for this “entry” in this encyclopedia didn’t consider the “Inquisition” a very big deal, saying that they didn’t use any worse torture than was used elsewhere in Europe at that time.  Huh?  The Roman Catholic Church refined “torture” to a new level, even bringing in medical doctors to make sure that the torture victim didn’t die while under torture. This was done so that he (or she) could be “revived and refreshed”, and thus could face days – weeks – and even months of more and more torture.

             By the way, I personally could not torture an animal.  How is it that the Roman Catholic Church calls itself “Christian” and yet commands the most brutal torture of human beings – even of fellow Christians who simply disagree with papal doctrine and/or authority?  How is it that the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church never seemed to have any problems finding lots of fiends to do its torture, and priests to oversee that brutal torture of human beings?  Where do we find the Lord Jesus Christ anywhere in this type of sick activity?  Oh, by the way, the Roman Catholic Church has never repudiated her “right” to use torture and force wherever and whenever she finds the opportunity to do so!

            Here are several more quotes dealing with the “holy” Inquisition:

             “It is so very hard today to imagine how anyone could watch and inflict systematic tortures [Ed. Note: as occurred during the so-called ‘Holy Inquisitions’] designed to bring its victims the most severe and agonizing pain, to the very point of death, yet denying death, and then start the process all over again – even on an animal, much less another human being.”

            John Daniel (Author of the book The Grand Design Exposed)

             “To wring out confessions from these poor creatures [Ed. Note: during the various Inquisitions], the Roman Catholic Church devised ingenious tortures so excruciating and barbarous that one is sickened by their recital.”

            Dave Hunt (Author of numerous books, including A Woman Rides the Beast)

             “The most ghastly abomination of all was the system of torture.  The accounts of its cold-blooded operations make one shutter at the capacity of human beings for cruelty.  And it was decreed and regulated by the popes who ‘claim’ to represent Christ on earth

            William Shaw Kerr (Bishop; Church historian) 

            “What has turned my soul against Roman [Catholic] abuse of power is the way in which it has tortured and burned such saints of God as Joan of Arc, hundreds of the Albigensian martyrs in France in the 12th century, the Knights Templar, John Huss [Czech Jan Hus], the Dominican Savonarola, the Dominican Giordano Bruno, [and] the Anglican bishops Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer.  The Inquisition has promoted at least two wholesale massacres:  thousands of Protestant Waldensians in northern Italy, and thousands of Protestant Huguenots by the massacre of St. Bartholomew in France.  More than 30,000 of the most cultured Protestants of France were put to the sword on the night of St. Bartholomew, August 24, 1572.  At the news [of this brutal, bloody massacre], the Pope had cannons fired, proclaimed a jubilee, ordered a Te Deum of thanksgiving to be sung, and struck a special medal to commemorate the glorious ‘victory’.” – Charles A.

 ((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote:  You can read about such “religious genocide” in a TTT newsletter I wrote entitled “Death by Government and Death by Church” by visiting Internet web site: www.tacklingthetoughtopics.net.  I also highly recommend that you get a copy of the book Foxe’s Book of Martyrs by John Foxe by calling “Power of Prophecy” (800-234-9673).)) 

            “Of eighty popes in a line from the thirteenth century on, not one of them disapproved of the theology and apparatus of Inquisition.  On the contrary, one after another added his own cruel touches to the workings of this deadly machine.”

            Peter de Rosa (Catholic historian & former Jesuit; author of the book Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy) 

            “When confronted with ‘heresy’, she [i.e., the Roman Catholic Church] does not content herself with persuasion, arguments of an intellectual and moral order appear to her insufficient, and she has recourse to force, to corporal punishment, [and] to torture.”

            H.M.A. Baudrillart (Rector of the Catholic Institute of Paris) 

            [The Inquisition’s] methods of terror and persecution have been used and abused up to the present day.  These methods were not only new, but also so successful that they have been copied by totalitarian regimes ever since.  The main features of these methods are: 

            1. Making the denunciation of fellow citizens an obligation that takes precedence over ties of family and kinship;

            2. Extracting confessions by imprisonment and torture;

            3. Making the naming of fellow conspirators an essential part of confessions;

            4. Defining the retraction of extorted confessions as a ‘relapse’ and therefore a proof of guilt; and

            5. In some cases, separating the proof of ‘heresy’ or opposition from the execution of the penalty.  The Inquisition handed over its convicted ‘heretics’ to the secular arm for punishment just as, hundreds of years later, during Stalin’s purges of the Communist party, party members were often deprived of their membership and then handed over to the NKVD for punishment.”

            Frank Chalk and Kurt Jonassohn (Co-authors of the book The History and Sociology of GENOCIDE) 

            Why isn’t this history concerning this fiendish “Inquisitional” institution of brutal torture (that still exists) taught to American school children?  Shouldn’t the American people be warned about this institution of torture, and the political-religious institution that operates it?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people?  Certain elements within the CIA, which has had a number of Roman Catholic Knights of Malta at its head (e.g., William Donovan, John McCone, and William Casey), seem to really like torture!  What agencies in the U.S. government and military have taught “torture” to their corresponding elements in Latin American countries?  Could there possibly be any connection between those torture-loving elements within the CIA and that religious-political institution (i.e., the Vatican) that loves to use torture?

 C. The Council of Trent (1545-1563) and the Counter-Reformation

             While most encyclopedias will give you the dates of the Council of Trent and tell you a little about its history, they leave out some very important details – and the historical importance of this Council. 

            Here are a couple quotes by F. Tupper Saussy (as found in his book Rulers of Evil):

             “Most of the eighteen-year lifetime of the Council of Trent [in Italy, 1545-1563] consisted of two intermissions spanning four and ten years each.  At the beginning of the second intermission, Ignatius [of Loyola – founder of the Jesuit Order] founded a special college in Rome [in 1552] for German-speaking Jesuits called the Germanicum.  ((Ed. Note: Pope Pius XI later would create the Russian college in Rome, and put it under the Jesuit Order.)) Three years later [in 1555], the Peace of Augsburg established the principle of ‘cuius regio, eius religio’, ‘whose [i.e., the ruler’s] the region, his the religion’.  The Peace of Augsburg was Jesuit ‘pay dirt’.  They could now bring whole populations to Rome simply by winning over a few princes.  And so they did.  By 1560, the Society [of Jesus – i.e., the Jesuit Order] had returned virtually all of South Germany and Austria to the [Roman Catholic] Church.” 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: The Jesuits basically steered the direction of the Council of Trent.  Indeed, the Jesuit Order was founded primarily to counter, and if possible, destroy the Protestant Reformation.  Much of Europe was starting to “go Protestant”, and the Roman Catholic Church was losing entire regions and provinces to Protestantism.  The “Peace of Augsburg” in 1555 enabled the Jesuit Order to simply win over some key European princes and thus bring whole regions and provinces back to Roman Catholicism.  But even this was not enough to stem the steady erosion of the Catholic “faithful” leaving the mother church, and so religious genocide, ‘holy’ Inquisition, and religious wars (such as the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-48) were launched to exterminate as many Protestants as quickly as possible.))

             “The fruits of the Germanicum [i.e., the special college in Rome for German-speaking Jesuits] were so successful that when the Council of Trent finally adjourned on December 4, 1563, its decrees and canons conceded nothing to the Protestant reformers.  Indeed, under the spiritual direction of [Jesuit] Superior General Diego Lainez – Ignatius [of Loyola] had died in 1556 – the Council [of Trent] denied every Protestant doctrine point by point.  Anathematized (eternally damned) was anyone who believed that salvation is God’s free gift to His faithful and does not depend upon partaking of Church sacraments.  Anathematized was anyone who looked to the Bible for the ultimate authority on ‘doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness’ rather than to the teaching Church.  Anathematized was anyone who regarded as unworthy of belief such unscriptural doctrines as (1) the efficacy of papal indulgences; (2) of confession alone to a priest as necessary for salvation; (3) of the mass as a true and real sacrifice of the body of Christ necessary to salvation; (4) the legitimacy of teachings on purgatory; (5) the celibate priesthood; (6) invoking saints by prayer to intercede with God;      (7) the veneration of relics; and, (8) the use of images and symbols.

            The Council of Trent hurled one hundred twenty-five anathemas – eternal damnations – against Protestantism.” 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: These vicious, unwarranted anathemas – eternal damnations – have never been revoked.  Subsequent Councils have affirmed the Council of Trent.  The Vatican, despite “ecumenical rhetoric” to the contrary, has not changed the basic doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church that sent millions of innocent men, women, elderly, and children to their deaths during numerous religious genocides, long periods of ‘holy’ Inquisition, and actual ‘holy’ Crusades and wars launched against Christians!)) 

D. Attempts to Force England Back Under Papal Authority 

            We can see from the quotes at the beginning of this newsletter that the Vatican made mighty efforts to bring England back under Papal authority, especially in the 16th century.

 Here are some more quotes about this chapter of history that is relatively unknown to many Americans: 

            “Eight years before the attempted [Spanish] Armada invasion [of 1588], Jesuits were seditiously active plotting the overthrow of the English government.  By using different disguises, aliases, and secret codes, to illegally slip in and out of England, Jesuit Robert Parson, in 1580, had led and then later organized a mission to bring other Jesuits into England to engage in a work of subversion.  When the [attempted] invasion [by the Spanish Armada] failed, these masters of intrigue [i.e., the Jesuits] turned to another bizarre scheme.  Known in your encyclopedia under the subject, ‘The Gunpowder Plot’ – thirteen Catholic noblemen and five Jesuits formed a conspiracy devising a plan to explode 36 barrels of gunpowder in the cellar of the House of Lords and kill King James I, and members of the [House of] Commons as they assembled for the opening of Parliament on 5 November 1605.  Their plan was to blow up the Parliament building and out of the chaos incite the people into a full insurrection.

            But before the date it [i.e., the tunnel full of explosives] was to be detonated, the explosives were discovered, leading to the arrest of all those involved.

            Of the five Jesuits involved, two escaped, one died in prison, and two were convicted and executed.”

John Daniel (Author of the book The Grand Design Exposed) 

((Ed. Comments to the preceding quote: 

(1) What the encyclopedias and most history books do NOT tell us is that the purpose of the attempted invasion of England in 1588 by the Spanish Armada was to land troops in England to be joined by local Roman Catholics in an effort to overthrow the British government and return England, by force, to the fold of the Roman Catholic Church! 

(2) What occurred in England, i.e., the repeated political intrigues, attempted assassinations of heads of State, etc., by the wily Jesuit Order, occurred all over continental Europe too.  This was the reason why 83 countries, cities, and city-states had thrown the Jesuits out of their areas by 1931!  Many of the European monarchs who expelled the Jesuits were Roman Catholics themselves!)) 

((Ed. Note: The following quotation is an excerpt taken from an information sheet I recently typed concerning Albert Close’s book Jesuit Plots from Elizabethan to Modern Times.)): 

“Editor of ETI and TTT has come to the following conclusion after studying the history of the Roman Catholic Church and Europe:  It is virtually impossible to clearly understand European history from the 16th century to the present time without ‘viewing’ it through the ‘lens’ of the ‘Reformation-Counter Reformation’, Roman Catholic efforts to bring England back under papal authority, and the Jesuit Order.  The famous Frenchman, the Marquis de LaFayette, stated: ‘It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty.  They have instigated most of the wars of Europe.’  Many other famous individuals, such as President John Adams, echoed similar condemnations of this infamous Society of Jesus (a.k.a. the Jesuit Order)! 

            The Vatican (and especially her Jesuit Order from the mid 1500s) tried to bring England back under papal authority by force and subversion.  A number of popes and European monarchs conspired to assassinate British monarchs, to foment revolutions in the British Isles, and to actually land foreign troops on British soil.  These attempts to bring England back under the pope’s authority by force reached their zenith in 1588 when the 130-ship Spanish Armada, carrying 20,000 troops, sailed for the British Isles.  Pope Sixtus V had promised Spanish King Phillip II 200,000 crowns the moment the armada sailed, and another 100,000 crowns when troops were placed on shore in England.  Researchers have examined British, French, and Spanish ‘State papers’ – and Vatican documents, for this era.  These State papers and Vatican documents clearly show the Vatican’s involvement not only in the planned invasion of England by the Spanish Armada, but also in numerous attempts to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I! 

            Sadly, Roman Catholic writers, editors, and apologists have made, and continue to make, tremendous efforts to rewrite and revise history and, in the process, whitewash the Vatican and her Jesuit Order’s frequent involvement in court intrigues, assassinations and attempted assassinations of heads of State, fomenting of revolutions and wars, infiltration of governments, orchestration of religious genocide, etc.  Fortunately, a number of researchers and authors, such as Albert Close, have examined various nations’ State papers and/or actual Vatican documents, which substantiate totally the nefarious activities of the Vatican and her Jesuit Order in Britain throughout the past four centuries!” – Darryl Eberhart (Editor of ETI and TTT newsletters)  (December 28, 2005) 

            We Americans must not allow this portion of British history to disappear.  The reason is simple: The Vatican was not able to defeat Great Britain by “frontal assault” (i.e., by force of arms) so as to bring it back under papal authority, so it used INFILTRATION to get Great Britain in line with papal desires and goals.  Certainly, the Vatican was not able to defeat our Constitutional Republic by “frontal assault” (i.e., by force of arms), and so it has used INFILTRATION to get the USA in line with papal desires and goals. 

            Why isn’t this history taught to American school children?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people? 

E. Religious Genocide Against Irish Protestants and French Huguenots 

            It is so very important that we Americans know about the history of religious genocide, because it certainly is not something that occurred only in the far distant past. 

             Here are several quotes by Jack T. Chick from his excellent book Smokescreens:

             “On August 22, 1572 [Ed. Note: Several books have the date as August 24th], the bloody St. Bartholomew massacre began.  This was to be one fatal blow to destroy the Protestant movement in France.  The [Catholic] king of France had cleverly arranged a marriage between his sister and Admiral Coligny, the chief Protestant leader.  There was a great feast with much celebrating.  After four days of feasting, the soldiers were given a signal.  At twelve o’clock midnight, all the houses of the Protestants in the city were forced open at once.  The admiral was killed, his body thrown out of a window into the street where his head was cut off and sent to the pope.

            They also slaughtered many other well-known Protestants.  In the first three days, over ten thousand were killed.  The bodies were thrown into the river and blood ran through the streets into the river until it appeared like a stream of blood.  From Paris, the destruction spread to all parts of the country.  Over eight thousand more people were killed.  Very few Protestants escaped the fury of the persecutors.”

             “A similar massacre [Ed. Note: i.e., similar to the St. Bartholomew’s Massacre] occurred in Ireland in 1641.  The [Catholic] conspirators picked October 23rd, the feast of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order.  They planned a general uprising for the whole country.  All Protestants would be killed at once.  To throw them [i.e., the Protestants] off guard while the plan was being made, extra acts of kindness were shown to the Protestants.  Early in the morning [of October 23, 1641] the conspirators were armed and every Protestant they could find was immediately murdered.  They showed no mercy.  From children to the aged, they were killed.  Even invalids were not spared.  They were caught by complete surprise.  They [i.e., the Protestants] had lived in peace and safety for years and now found no place to run.  They were massacred by neighbors, friends, and even relatives.

            Death often was the least they had to fear.  Women were tied to posts, stripped to the waist, their breasts cut off with shears and left to bleed to death.  Others who were pregnant were tied to tree branches, their unborn babies cut out and fed to the dogs while the husbands were forced to watch.”

             “What you’ve just read [about the massacre of Protestants in Ireland in 1641 and in France in 1572] is fully documented and historically factual.  It is found in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.  Both of these murderous assaults by the Vatican against the [Protestant] Christians in France and in Ireland followed a similar pattern.  Before the attacks, there was a time of healing when the Roman Catholics became friendly and warm, and in both cases the [Protestant] Christians were so relieved that they let their guard down and assumed the Vatican had changed.  This was their fatal mistake and it cost them their lives.”

             And here is a quote by John Daniel, author of the book The Grand Design Exposed:

             “The sixth and last event to be considered is the barbarous Irish Massacre, with its 23 October 1641 launching date – the date that also celebrates the Catholic feast of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits.

            Again the plot is instigated by the Jesuits, priests, and friars, who excite the ignorant Irish Catholic people to a frenzy to commit the most unheard of cruelties.  In far away France, Cardinal Richelieu, the French minister, had promised the [Irish Catholic] conspirators a considerable supply of men and money.  In one stroke, Catholics rose up against their peaceful and unsuspecting Protestant neighbors, and spared no age, no sex, nor condition.  Led on and declared by their fanatical priestly leaders, that no Protestant should be suffered to live any longer among them, adding that it was no more sin to kill a Protestant than to kill a dog, and that the relieving or protecting them was a crime of the most unpardonable nature.

            The onslaught raged on, and when it had run its course, one hundred and fifty thousand Protestants lay mutilated, butchered, and dead.

            For the unbiased researcher, history reeks of the butchery of Romanism, where whole cities and populations were unmercifully wiped out, just because they worshipped God in a manner that was different from Roman Catholicism.” 

            Why isn’t this history taught to American school children?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people?

F. Seeds Sown for the Destruction of the American Constitutional Republic (Secret Meetings at Vienna, Verona, and Chieri) 

            Here are a few quotes by author Bill Hughes concerning these secret meetings in Europe in the 19th century: 

            [American Secretary of the Navy R.W.] Thompson pinpointed exactly who would be the agents used by the monarchs of Europe to destroy the republic of America, namely, the Jesuits of Rome!  Since 1815 there has been a continual assault on America by the Jesuits to try to destroy the constitutional rights of this great nation.

            The famous inventor of the Morse code, Samuel B. Morse, also wrote of this sinister plot [of the Jesuits] against the United States.”

            Bill Hughes (Author of The Secret Terrorists and The Enemy Unmasked) 

            “These three meetings, at Vienna, [Austria in 1814-15,] Verona, [Italy in 1822,] and Chieri, [Italy in 1825] were held with as much secrecy as possible.  However, one man attended the first two meetings that would not be silenced.  British foreign minister George Canning contacted the U.S. government to warn them that the monarchs of Europe [Ed. Note: with the encouragement and support of the Papacy and its Jesuits] were planning to destroy the free institutions of America.” – Bill Hughes 

            “During this Congress [of Verona, Italy in 1822], it was decided that America would be the target of Jesuit emissaries and that America was to be destroyed at all costs.  Every principle of the [U.S.] Constitution was to be dissolved and new Jesuitical principles were to be put into place in order to exalt the Papacy to dominion in America.” – Bill Hughes 

((Ed. Note: For more information about these three secret European meetings, please read Bill Hughes’ book The Secret Terrorists – see Section IV. 3.)) 

            One would think that plans made for the destruction of our American Constitutional Republic would be important enough to include in our American history books. 

            Why isn’t this history taught to American school children?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people?

 

G. The American Civil War [1861-65] and the Assassination of President Lincoln 

            Here are a few quotations that deal with the American Civil War of 1861-65, and with the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln: 

            “This [American Civil] war [of 1861-1865] would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits.  We owe it to popery that we now see our land reddened with the blood of her noblest sons.” – Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865; 16th President of the United States)

            “Despite a declared neutrality [during the American Civil War of 1861-65], the ‘Holy See’ [i.e., the Papacy] was secretly aiding and abetting the Confederacy in the hope of dividing Christian America.

            The degree to which the Vatican could affect [President] Lincoln’s war measures was astounding.  [Roman] Catholic citizens in the north aligned with their southern brethren by voting Democratic, dodging or defending slavery and by opposing Lincoln on all fronts.  Irish [Roman Catholic] federals [i.e., federal troops] deserted in droves after learning that their ‘Holy Father’, Pope Pius IX, had dispatched an official communiqué of support to [Confederate President] Jefferson Davis, addressing him as ‘Illustrious and Honorable President of the Confederate States of America’.  When the retreating forces from [Confederate General] Lee’s debacle at Gettysburg [Pennsylvania in July 1863] should have been crushed on the banks of the swollen Potomac [River], Lincoln’s [Roman] Catholic [Union Army] commander, General George Meade, ‘conveniently’ diverted a third of his army to securing New York City during the infamous ‘Draft Riots’, perpetrated by the rampaging parishioners of [Roman Catholic] Archbishop [John] Hughes.”

            Dr. William P. Grady 

((Ed. Comment: It was quite apparent that Union General Meade allowed General Lee’s defeated army to escape, thus prolonging this bloody war and the carnage that continued for almost two more years.)) 

            “It would seem that the Jesuits had had it in mind, from the beginning of the war [the American Civil War of 1861-1865], to find an occasion for the taking off [i.e., the assassination] of Mr. [Abraham] Lincoln.” – Thomas M. Harris (U.S. Army Brigadier General; Author of the book Rome’s Responsibility for the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

            “These facts, as developed on the trial of the conspirators before a military commission, and on the trial of John H. Surratt two years later [in 1867], before a civil courtshow conclusively the hand of Rome in this stab [i.e., the assassination of President Lincoln] at our nation’s life.” – Brigadier General Thomas M. Harris 

            “Right after [President] Lincoln’s death [via an assassin’s bullet], John [Harrison] Surratt, who was part of the assassination conspiracy, fled [Ed. Note: with the help of Roman Catholic priests] to Montreal [in Canada].  From Montreal [Ed. Note: again with the help of Roman Catholic clergy] he was taken to Liverpool, England and then to Rome.  When a United States official finally caught up with him, he was found in the Pope’s personal army [i.e., the Pope’s Zouave bodyguard unit].  A conspirator in the assassination of [U.S. President] Abraham Lincoln was a member of the Pope’s personal army!”

            Bill Hughes (Author of the books The Secret Terrorists and The Enemy Unmasked) 

            Why isn’t this history taught to American school children?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people?

H. The Vatican’s Hatred of Religious Liberty and the U.S. Constitution in Her Own Words and in the Words of Others 

            “The unrestrained freedom of thinking and of openly making known one’s thoughts is not inherent in the rights of citizens and is by no means worthy of favor and support.”

            Pope Gregory XVI 

            “These false and perverse opinions [of democracy and individual freedom] are so much the more detestable, by as much as theyhinder and banish that salutary influence which the [Roman] Catholic Church, by the institution and command of her Divine Author, ought freely to exercise, even to the consummation of the world, not only over individual men, but [over] nations, [over] peoples, and [over] sovereigns.” (Quanta Cura; December 8, 1864)

((This quotation was taken from page 120 of the book A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt.))

            Pope Pius IX (1792-1878; pope: 1846-1878) 

            “The State has not the right to leave every man free to embrace whatever religion he should deem true.

            The [Roman Catholic] Church has the right to require that the Catholic religion shall be the religion of the State, to the exclusion of all others.

            Cursed be those who assert liberty of conscience and of worship and such that maintain that the [Roman Catholic] Church may not employ force.”

            The Syllabus of Pope Pius IX (December 1864) 

            No man has a right to choose his religion.  Catholicism is the most intolerant of creeds.  It is intolerance itself.  We might as rationally maintain that two and two does not make four as the theory of Religious Liberty.  Its impiety is only equaled by its absurdity.” (1864)

            John Hughes (Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York) 

((What now follows is some proof of this hatred of religious liberty, freedom of conscience, and/or representative government that has appeared in several Roman Catholic publications.)) 

            We do not accept it [i.e., the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America], or hold it to be any government at all If the American Republic is to be sustained and preserved at all, it must be by the rejection of the principle of the [Protestant] Reformation, and the acceptance of the Catholic principle

            Catholic World (August 1871; page 735) 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: Let me get this straight: If we want our American Republic to be sustained and preserved at all”, then this can only take place if we reject “the principle of the [Protestant] Reformation” (i.e., religious liberty for all, freedom of conscience, and freedom of the press) and accept “the Catholic principle” (i.e., no religious liberty, ecclesiastical tyranny, and the extermination of all who disagree with the Catholic principle)?  That’s certainly an interesting choice!)) 

            Fascism is the regime that corresponds most closely to the concepts of the Church of Rome.”Civilta Cattolica (House organ of the Jesuits) 

            “The [Roman Catholic] church has persecuted.  Only a tyro [i.e., novice] in church history will deny thatone hundred and fifty years after [Roman Emperor] Constantine, the Donatists were persecuted and sometimes put to death.  Protestants were persecuted in France and Spain with the full approval of the [Roman Catholic] church authorities.  When she [i.e., the Roman Catholic Church] thinks it good to use physical force, she will use it.”

            The Western Watchman (A Roman Catholic publication out of St. Louis)

             “Have not the popes [e.g., Pope Pius IX in his Syllabus of Errors] publicly and repeatedly anathematized the sacred principle of Liberty of Conscience?  Have they not boldly said, in the teeth of the nations of Europe, that Liberty of Conscience must be destroyedkilled at any cost?  Has not the whole world heard the sentence of death to liberty coming from the lips of the old man of the Vatican [i.e., the pope]?”

Charles Chiniquy (Ex-Catholic priest; personal friend of President Abraham Lincoln)

             “The Constitution of the United States was condemned by the Papacy because it separated church and state and prohibited the establishment of any religion [Ed. Note: as an official State-sponsored religion] by the government.  The popes, on the other hand, had long required governments to make Roman Catholicism the official religion and to prohibit the practice of any other.” – Dave Hunt (Author of numerous books)

            “During a sermon in 1850, [Roman Catholic] Archbishop John Hughes of New York, the nation’s leading Vatican spokesman, acknowledged that a conspiracy to subjugate free America did exist after all.  The Catholic press was ecstatic.  An excerpt from ‘Shepherd of the Valley’, the official journal of the [Roman Catholic] Bishop of St. Louis, declared, ‘If Catholics ever gain a sufficient numerical majority in this country, religious freedom is at an end.  So our enemies say, so we believe.’  [Catholic Archbishop] Hughes’ own paper, the ‘New York Freeman’ brazenly announced, ‘No man has a right to choose his religion.’” – Dr. William P. Grady

I. Vatican Involvement in World War II (Fomenting the War; Supporting Fascist Regimes; Aiding & Abetting Religious Genocide, etc.):

             Please carefully consider the following quotations:

             “The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the starting of two world wars – a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict.”

            Edmond Paris (Author of the book The Secret History of the Jesuits)

             “The [Roman Catholic] priests and the faithful must unhesitatingly uphold the great German state [i.e., Nazi Germany], and the Fuehrer [i.e., Adolph Hitler] whose struggle to set up [Nazi] Germany’s power, honor and prosperity is in accord with the wishes of Providence.”

            Cardinal Innitzer (Roman Catholic Cardinal; Jesuit; Archbishop of Vienna, Austria)

 ((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: Austrian Cardinal Innitzer (a Jesuit), the highest-ranking Roman Catholic prelate in Austria, thus lent the full support of the Catholic Church in Austria to the German fuehrer, Adolph Hitler.  Cardinal Innitzer made this declaration in favor of the Nazis just a few days after Nazi Germany invaded Austria on March 12, 1938.  Innitzer’s declaration was printed in German newspapers on March 15, 1938.))

             “I have learnt most of all from the Jesuit Order.  So far, there has been nothing more imposing on earth than the hierarchical organization of the [Roman] Catholic Church.  A good part of that organization I have transported direct to my own [Nazi] party.  The Catholic Church must be held up as an example.  I will tell you a secret.  I am founding an order [Ed. Note: the Nazi SS].  In [Heinrich] Himmler [who would become head of the Nazi SS] I see our Ignatius de Loyola [Ed. Note: the founder of the Jesuit Order].

            Adolph Hitler (1889-1945; Nazi leader and chancellor of Germany from 1933-1945) 

            “The German author Walter Hagen gives also this discreet information: ‘The Jesuits’ [Superior] General, Count Halke von Ledochowski, was ready to organize, on the common basis of anti-communism, some collaboration between the German Secret Service and the Jesuit Order.’

            As a result, within the SS Central Security Service, an organization was created, and most of its main posts were held by Catholic priests wearing the black uniform of the [Nazi] SS.  The Jesuit [priest] ‘father’ Himmler [uncle of Heinrich Himmler] was one of its superior officers.” – Edmond Paris (author of the book The Secret History of the Jesuits) 

            Kurt Heinrich Himmler [was] chief of the Gestapo [i.e., the secret police force of the German Nazi state], which meant he held in his hand the essential reins of power of the [Nazi] regime.  Was it his personal merits which earned him such a high position?  Did Hitler see in him a superior genius when he compared him [i.e., Heinrich Himmler] to the creator of the Jesuit Order [i.e., Ignatius of Loyola]?  It is certainly not what the testimonies of those who knew him imply, as they saw in him nothing more than mediocrity.

            Was that ‘star’ [of Heinrich Himmler] shining with a borrowed ‘brightness’?  Was it really Kurt Heinrich Himmler, the ostensible [i.e., apparent] chief, who actually reigned over the Gestapo and the secret services?  Who was sending millions of people, deported for political reasons, and Jews to their death?  Was it the flat-faced nephew or [was it] the [Jesuit priest] uncle, the former Canon at the Court of Bavaria, one of [Jesuit Superior General] Ledochowski’s favorites, a Jesuit ‘father’ and superior officer of the [Nazi] SS?”

            Edmond Paris 

            “The declaration of [Roman Catholic Jesuit] Monseigneur [Ed. Note: French spelling of ‘Monsignor’] Tiso, chief of the Slovakian state, stating his intention to build up Slovakia according to a Christian [sic] plan, has the full approval of the Holy See [i.e., the Papacy].

Radio Vatican (June 1940) 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: This Jesuit monster (Tiso) was put into power by Hitler’s Nazi Germany, with the blessings of the Vatican.  Tiso, using his ‘Christian’ plan, brutally persecuted Protestants and Jews in Slovakia, sending them to concentration camps!)) 

            “To talk about [Roman] Catholicfifth columnists’ sounds discriminatory.  Yet, one generation ago, Catholic minorities helped to destroy democratic Europe.  This they did by cooperating with Hitler.

            Again, who were gathered inside the ‘Trojan Horses’ to help Hitler topple the political and, yes, even the military structures of Belgium and France?  Once more we find individual [Roman] Catholic leaders or [Roman] Catholic groups intimately connected with the hierarchies and therefore, with the Vatican and Pope Pius XII.

            In France, we meet a Papal knight, Pierre Laval; a Jesuit-trained general, Weygand; and another prominent Catholic, Marshal Petain.  If active Catholic minorities contributed to the disintegration of European democracy, an active Catholic minority could do the same in the United States.” (From his book The Vatican Moscow Washington Alliance)

            Avro Manhattan (Author of numerous books) 

            “The Jesuits, in control of [Adolph] Hitler’s occultic and homosexual Third Reich, installed puppet dictators throughout Europe.  They were: 

  • Bavarian Germany and the Third Reich – [Adolph] Hitler [born-died: 1889-1945]
  • Italy – [Benito] Mussolini [born-died: 1883-1945]
  • ‘Vichy’ France – [Henri Philippe] Petain [born-died: 1856-1951]
  • Spain –  [Francisco] Franco
  • Austria – Seyss-Inquart
  • Poland – Frank
  • Slovakia – [Jesuit] Priest Tiso
  • Croatia – [Ante] Pavelitch ((Ed. Note: alternate spelling: Pavelic))
  • Belgium – Degrelle.

All these Roman Catholic, Jesuit-controlled, Jew-hating dictators were loyal to the greatest war criminal of all, Papal Caesar Pius XII and his master, Jesuit [Superior] General Wlodimir Ledochowski.”

            Eric Jon Phelps (Author of the book Vatican Assassins) 

            Here [in Croatia in the 1940s] the [Roman] Catholic Church [erected] a State in complete accord with all her tenets.  The result was a monster standing upon the armed might of twin totalitarianisms:  the totalitarianism of a ruthless Fascist State and the totalitarianism of [Roman] Catholicism

            What gives to such a creature of Vatican diplomacy its peculiar importance is that here we have an example of the Catholic Church’s implementing all her principles, unhampered by opposition, or by fear of world opinion.

            The uniqueness of the Independent Catholic State of Croatia lies precisely in this: that it provided a model, in miniature, of what the Catholic Church, had she the power, would like to see in the West and, indeed, everywhere.  As such it should be carefully scrutinized.  For its significanceis of the greatest import to all the freedom-loving peoples of the world.”

(From his book The Vatican’s Holocaust)

            Avro Manhattan 

            “This [Ed. Note: her booklet “Ravening Wolves”] is the record of torture and murder committed in Europe in 1941-1945 by an army of [Roman] Catholic Actionists known as the Ustashi, led by monks and priests, and even participated in by nuns.  The [innocent Serb Orthodox Christian] victims suffered and died in the cause of liberty and freedom of conscience.  The least we can do is to read the record of their sufferings and keep in mind that it happened, not in the dark ages, but in our ENLIGHTENED [Ed. Note: emphasis in original] generation.  Ustashi is another name for Catholic Action.”

            Monica Farrell (Author of the booklet “Ravening Wolves”) 

            [John Cornwell’s book Hitler’s Pope is] a devastating refutation of the claim that this Pope’s [i.e., Pius XII (pope: 1939-1958)] diplomacy can in any way be characterized as wisdom.  Instead of a portrait of a man worthy of sainthood, Cornwell [in his book Hitler’s Pope] lays out the story of a narcissistic, power-hungry manipulator [i.e., Pope Pius XII] who was prepared to lie, to appease, and to collaborate in order to accomplish his ecclesiastical purpose – which was not to save lives or even to protect the Catholic Church, but, more narrowly, to protect and advance the power of the papacy.”

            James Carroll (Writer, Atlantic Monthly) 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: Author John Cornwell is a Roman Catholic who had unprecedented access to Vatican and Jesuit archives.  His research showed him that Pope Pius XII was not even close to being a “saint”, but rather that this pope was indeed a narcissistic, power-hungry manipulatoras James Carroll has written.)) 

            “In Hitler’s Pope, award-winning journalist John Cornwell shows that Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, was instrumental in negotiating an accord that helped the Nazis rise to unhindered power – and sealed the fate of the Jews in Europe.

            Drawing upon secret Vatican and Jesuit archives to which he had unprecedented access, Cornwell tells the full, tragic story of how narcissism, long-standing personal antipathy for the Jews, and political and ‘spiritual’ ambition combined to make Pius the most dangerous churchman in history.  Not just a firm and final indictment of Pius XII’s papacy, Hitler’s Pope is also a searing exploration of its lingering consequences for the Catholic Church today.”

(Quote was taken from the back cover John Cornwell’s book Hitler’s Pope) 

            “When thousands of German anti-Nazis were tortured to death in Hitler’s concentration camps, when the Polish intelligentsia was slaughtered, when hundreds of thousands of Russians died as the result of being treated as Slavic Untermenschen [subhumans], and when 6,000,000 human beings were murdered for being ‘non-Aryan’, [Roman] Catholic Church officials in Germany bolstered the [Nazi] regime perpetrating these crimes.  The Pope [Pius XII] in Rome, the spiritual head and supreme moral teacher of the Roman Catholic Church, remained silent.

            In the face of these greatest of moral depravities which mankind has been forced to witness in recent centuries, the moral teachings of a Church [allegedly] dedicated to love and charity could be heard in no other form but vague generalities.”

            Guenter Lewy (Author of the book The Catholic Church and Nazi Germany) 

            Without the deadening hand of Vatican control, resistance might have been multiplied across the country [i.e., Nazi Germany during World War II] from the outset.  And had Catholic officialdom, from the outset, not turned a blind eye to the expanding anti-Semitic propaganda and persecution, the terrible disaster that befell the Jews might never have occurred.”

            John Cornwell (Author of the book Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII

            The above quotations are but a small portion of those showing Vatican and Jesuit involvement in World War II that I could have listed.  Not only did the Vatican help to foment World II, but also she and her Jesuit Order carefully orchestrated much of the bloodshed – including religious genocide – that occurred in that horrible war. 

            Many people tell us that we should never forget the Jewish Holocaust – and we shouldn’t.  But what about the horrible religious genocide that the Vatican and her agents carried out in Croatia, where from 600,000 to one million innocent Serb Orthodox Christian men, women, elderly, and children were butchered by a Roman Catholic militia (the Ustashi) that was led by Roman Catholic clergymen?  Shouldn’t there be some remembrance of that holocaust? 

            Why isn’t this part of World War II history taught to American school children?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people?

J. Vatican Involvement in the Vietnam War 

            Far too few Americans are aware of the major role that the Vatican played in the Vietnam War – a war that cost America 58,167 killed and 365,000 wounded. 

            Here is what pastor and author, Ron Hembree, had to say about the Vietnam War: 

            “On this day [Ed. Note: June 23rd] in 1968, the Vietnam War became the longest war in American history, beginning in 1957 and ending in 1975.  About 58,000 American military personnel died in the war, and about 300,000 were wounded.  South Vietnamese deaths topped one million.  North Vietnamese losses ranged between 500,000 and one million, in addition to countless civilians killed.  The United States spent over $150 billion on the war.  Bombing alone cost four times more than the combined U.S.-British bombing of Germany in World War II.  The war made refugees of up to 10 million South Vietnamese, or about half the country’s population.” 

            Here are some quotes from Avro Manhattan – the first two quotes are from his book The Dollar and the Vatican, and the remaining quotes are from his book The Vatican’s Holocaust

            “The role played by the Vatican in the Vietnam War (1956-1976) was not only important, it was decisive.  Since without the Vatican such a war would have never occurred.

            Initially, the Vietnam conflict had nothing to do with the USA.  It had been a problem dealing exclusively with French colonialism.  The defeat of France during the Second World War (1940-1945) had inspired Indo-Chinese national aspirations for ultimate independence from French Imperialism throughout Asia.

            The Vatican opposed the move [for an independent Vietnam] since it wished to retain and to control the former French colonies; to that effect it plotted the setting up of a Vietnam controlled by Vietnamese [Roman] Catholics [Ed. Note: who were a very small minority].

            [The Vatican] plotted for a territorial split which divided the country into North and South.

            Whereas the North remained a Communist enclave, the South turned into the territorial and political domain of three fanatical Catholic brothers.

            These three [brothers] formed a kind of triumvirate, whereas one became the president, known as President Diem; the second became Chief of Police; and the third [Ed. Note: the Archbishop of Hue] controlled the Church.  The brotherly triumvirate in this manner came to control the political, ecclesiastical, and police machinery of the whole country – a control which they kept with an iron fist until two of them were murdered three years later.” 

            It was the Vatican, with the help of the U.S. Catholic lobby headed by Cardinal Spellman, that initially propelled [Roman Catholic] Diem into power [in South Vietnam].  The powerful trio, namely [Pope] Pius XII, Cardinal Spellman, and John Foster Dulles, were behind the setting up of a semi-totalitarian regime in South Vietnam from its inception.” 

((The following quotes are from Manhattan’s book The Vatican’s Holocaust.)): 

            "The Vietnamese tragedy [to include the Vietnam War] was precipitated by a zealous Catholic trio formed by a Catholic President [Ngo Dinh Diem], a Catholic head of the Secret Police [Ngo Dinh Nhu], and a Catholic Archbishop [Ngo Dinh Thuc – Archbishop of Hue].  All [three of these men] were determined to impose the religious and political writ of the [Roman Catholic] Church upon a non-Christian culture." 

            "President Diem was a fanatical Catholic who ruled South Vietnam with an iron fist.  He transformed the presidency into a virtual Catholic dictatorship, which he used to crush his religious and political opponents with the utmost ruthlessness.

            He persecuted non-Catholics, and particularly the Buddhists. By his discriminatory methods he caused the disruption of the [South Vietnamese] army and the [South Vietnamese] government. This eventually was to lead to the USA's military intervention in South Vietnam.

            He [President Diem] ruled with the spiritual and political terrorization of his two equally fanatical Catholic brothers, the Chief of the Secret Police and the Archbishop of Hue.

            President Diem had originally been 'planted' into the presidency by Cardinal Spellman and Pope Pius XII.

            Buddhist monks committed suicide by fire, burning themselves alive in protest against his religious persecution." 

            "The jails were soon bursting with prisoners.  The mass arrests became so numerous that finally it was necessary to open detention camps followed by additional ones euphemistically called 'internment camps'

            There followed massacres within and outside such detention sites, like those which took place at Mocay, Thanhphu, Soctrang, Cangiuoc, Dailoc, Duyxuyen, to mention only a few. Religious sects and racial minorities were persecuted, arrested, and whenever possible ELIMINATED.

            Minority groups were exterminated or accepted the Catholic Church to save their lives." 

            "A certain clique at the Pentagon, inspired by another [clique] in the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] with intimate links to the Catholic lobby in Washington [D.C.] and certain Cardinals in the USA, and consequently in perfect accord with the Vatican, had decided to have a staunch Catholic [as dictator] in South Vietnam."

             And here’s one more quote from Manhattan’s book The Dollar and the Vatican:

             The media of America [initially] remained strangely silent about the whole issue [of the Catholic persecution of Buddhists in South Vietnam].  When they were forced [Ed. Note: because so much of it was being reported in much of the rest of the world’s media] to report the news of the persecutions of the Buddhists by the [Roman] Catholic [South Vietnamese President] Diem, either they gave them the smallest coverage, or minimized the whole issue when not slanting the news altogether.  The Catholic-CIA-Diem lobby saw to it that the whole picture became effectively blurred lest the American people take action.”

             Why isn’t this history taught to American school children?  Who benefits by this history being kept from the American people, and who is so powerful in this country that they have, for the most part, been able to keep this history from the majority of the American people? 

((For additional information on this topic, please read my TTT #64, entitled “The Vietnam War”, on Internet web sites: www.tacklingthetoughtopics.net and www.calltodecision.com.))

 QUESTIONS: Where has all this history gone?  What institution in America is so powerful and influential that she has been able to keep most of this information from the vast majority of the American people?  Cui bono?  (Who benefits?) 

ANSWERS: Well, we can safely assume that it is NOT “the Jews” totally running America’s mainstream media and publishing (as some allege), for how would they “benefit” from protecting the Vatican and her Jesuits by erasing a whole lot of history that greatly soils the Vatican’s and the Jesuit Order’s reputations?  No, it is quite clear Who benefits” from this erasure of history – the Vatican and her Jesuit Order!  The Vatican, using her many “secret agents” from the ranks of Opus Dei, the Jesuit Order, the Jesuits’ Knights of Malta, the Knights of Columbus, and Freemasonry (yes, the Jesuit Superior General, the “Black Pope”, controls the top levels of Freemasonry), has been able through massive infiltration of mainstream media and publishing to revise the history textbooks and encyclopedias in America, and in the process, whitewash her nefarious activities throughout the course of history.  It is the Vatican and her Jesuit Order who “benefit”!

III. SUMMARY & CLOSING REMARKS 

            I have listed just a few examples of history that have been either greatly revised and/or have begun to disappear down a deep “memory hole”.  There are so many others – a number of which I have written about in the past, such as Vatican involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy (and the subsequent cover-up) through her powerful Knights of Malta and top-level Freemasons.  Another example is Jesuit and P2 Mason involvement in the murder of Pope John Paul I in 1978.  Sadly, relatively few Americans are aware of these powerful players “behind the scenes” who have orchestrated these historical events! 

To summarize the main points of this TTT newsletter: 

            History and the Papacy’s own words have shown us quite clearly that the Vatican hates religious liberty and loves ecclesiastical tyranny. History also clearly shows us that whenever Roman Catholicism becomes predominant in any nation, it “lobbies” (almost always successfully) the government of that nation to make Roman Catholicism the “State religion” to the exclusion of all others!  History also shows us that the Vatican hates the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America (where religious liberty has flourished). 

            The plans to destroy America and her Constitutional Republic were made quite early in American history.  Roman Catholic monarchs and the highest levels of the Roman Catholic Church’s hierarchy (to include a number of popes) CONSPIRED to stop religious liberty and representative government.  Top Catholic leaders gathered in at least three largely secret meetings to discuss how to squash religious liberty and representative government wherever and whenever they appeared – whether on the European continent or in the United States of America.  As already mentioned, these three secret historic meetings were: 

  • The Congress of Vienna [Austria] from 1814 through 1815;
  • The secret meetings at Verona, Italy in 1822; and,
  • The secret meetings at Chieri, Italy in 1825.

Indeed, plans were carefully laid at these meetings for the takeover of the United States through infiltration of our government, our education system, our press and media, and even our non-Catholic Christian churches and seminaries.  The same plans had earlier been used quite successfully on England.  The degree to which most Americans are totally unaware of these three secret meetings (Vienna, Verona, and Chieri), Vatican and Jesuit involvement in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, the Vatican’s involvement in fomenting both World War I and World War II, the Vatican’s support of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy (and other Fascist states in Europe) during World War II, etc., speak volumes about how successful their takeover of America’s history textbooks, publishing industry, press, and media has been! 

            We can go on pretending that there is no real threat from the Vatican’s designs for world domination – to be at the head of one-world government and one-world religion, or we can do some research and study to find out the truth about the Vatican and her hatred of our most precious liberties.  And that brings us to the next section, “What Can We Do?”

CLOSING QUOTES TO PONDER: 

            “If the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them out as traitors.”

            Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865; 16th President of the United States) 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: While the above statement has certainly not applied to all Roman Catholic priests residing in America, either past or present, it surely does apply to the top and middle levels of the Roman Catholic hierarchical system.  A number of popes and other top-level Catholic prelates have condemned freedom of religion, conscience, and the press in the strongest words. For a good example of this hatred of liberty, please read Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors of 1864.)) 

            “The legions of Rome are awesome.  More than one million practicing Catholics make up the ranks of the Knights of Columbus.  They are fraternally pledged to the ideal of bringing America under papal rule.  They are powerful, wealthy,  [and] loyal.”  (1983; Smokescreens)

            Jack Chick (Author and publisher) 

            “Let America again be forewarned as to Rome’s intention ‘to make America Catholic’.”

            Larry Harrison (Publisher) 

            Popes have been consistent in their declarations that freedom of religion should NOT exist, and that the Church of Rome represents the only true faith and therefore should alone be allowed to spread its doctrines.”

            Larry Harrison 

The Church of Rome, with its sixteen [Ed. Note: now approaching 17] centuries of intrigue, plans fifty or a hundred years ahead.  The ultimate goal of the GREAT SCHEME is to throw the ‘lever of time’ back by restoring the Pope as the ‘universal arbiter’ from whom all the rulers of the earth must receive their authority to rule, as [occurred] during the Dark Ages.”

            Burke McCarty (Author of the book The Suppressed Truth about the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln)

             “Persecution of non-Catholics in Catholic-controlled countries should warn Americans as to what will happen here if the pope ever gains full control of this country.  Rome never changes.” (March 16, 1960)

            Raywood Frazier 

((Ed. Comment to the preceding quote: Indeed, Catholic persecution (to include religious genocide on a massive scale) occurred as recently as the 1940s in the Catholic Fascist state of Croatia, where from 600,000 to one million innocent Serb Orthodox Christian men, women, elderly, and children were tortured, butchered, raped, brutalized, and murdered by a Catholic militia led by priests, monks, and friars of the Roman Catholic Church.  Worst of all, the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church planned, orchestrated, and participated in this monstrous genocide.  If you don’t think this happened, then please read Avro Manhattan’s book The Vatican’s Holocaust – a book that includes photographs of both the innocent victims and the brutal clerical monsters of this vicious religious genocide.))

             “Now more than any other time since the 16th century Reformation, God is looking for Christians to stand in the gap, to be watchmen, courageous enough to pay, as [Jan] Hus did, the flaming death of martyrdom.  Remember:  there is a battle to be fought (Ephesians 6:16-20).  There is an enemy to be overcome (1 Peter 5:8, 9).  There is a watch to maintain (Jude 3,4, [and] 17-23).” – Bartholomew F. Brewer (Ex-Roman Catholic priest of the Discalced Carmelite Order)

           “Who will rise up for me against the evildoers, or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?”  (Psalm 96:16)
