“The Vatican – Is It a Topic that Should Be Discussed?” “Is
the Vatican Strictly a ‘Religious’ Organization?” (And) “Is
the Vatican a Torture-Loving, Mass-Murdering Machine?” By Darryl Eberhart, Editor of “Tackling the Tough Topics” www.tacklingthetoughtopics.net // June 20, 2006 On June 17, 2006 I had a telephone conversation with a friend of mine who also happens to be a broadcast host in the “alternative media”. Most people would characterize his broadcast and his organization as “secular” rather than as “religious”, although he has had several people on his broadcast to discuss topics that fall in the realm of “religion”. So I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when he noted that if we talked about the Vatican “on air” (i.e., on his broadcast), then people would say that we would be entering into a discussion of “religion”. I think we need to answer the three questions that are asked in the “three-part title” of this article concerning the Vatican. We will start first with the second question: “Is the Vatican Strictly a ‘Religious’ Organization?” The answer to that question is quite simple, and it is an unequivocal “NO!” While none of us (who are rational) would deny that there is a Roman Catholic “Church” – a “religious” organization and system that has over 1 BILLION adherents, we also must recognize that there is a historically documented GEOPOLITICAL entity known as the “Vatican State”, or “Vatican City”. According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition, “Vatican City” is an “independent papal state constituted in 1929 as an enclave in Rome…” The Vatican State (or “City”) has diplomatic relations with most of the nations of the world! The Papacy, which has long sat atop the authoritative, hierarchical religious system known as the Roman Catholic Church, has a well-documented geopolitical history of ruling for centuries over the monarchs of Europe. In fact, the Papacy [Papal Rome] in essence was, and still is, the “ghost” that arose out of the “ashes” of the Imperial Pagan Roman Empire. For the last four centuries plus, the Vatican’s Jesuit Order has been one of the most powerful organizations on the GEOPOLITICAL scene. Boyd Barrett, an ex-Jesuit, tells us: “The
Jesuit Order at last reached
the pinnacle of its power and prestige in the early eighteenth century
[i.e., the early 1700s]. It
had become more influential and more wealthy than any other
organization in the world. It held a position in world affairs that no oath-bound group
of men has ever held before or since…
‘Nearly all the Kings and Sovereigns of Europe had only Jesuits
as directors of their consciences [i.e.,
as confessor-priests], so that the whole of Europe appeared to
be governed by Jesuits only.’”
(1927; using a short quote by Jesuit Cordara) J. Wayne Laurens, American historian and author of the book The Crisis: Or, the Enemies of America Unmasked, lets us know about the political side of the Vatican and its Jesuit Order – and how they USE “religion” as a “mask” for advancing their political agenda: “But
we recognize in the Roman Catholic priesthood, and the Jesuit brotherhood, two distinct political organizations, united in purpose and using
religion as a mask for political
purpose, as they always have done in all ages and countries.” Author Avro Manhattan, in his book Murder in the Vatican (1985), lets us know that the Vatican is a very powerful GEOPOLITICAL “creature”: “The Vatican is a superpower – on a par with the USA and Soviet Russia. Indeed, since at times it can act as a formulator of the policies of both, it can be reckoned as the paramount superpower of our times. Its adherents, a massive portion of mankind, nearing a billion [Ed. Note: it’s now over a billion], can be made to operate in every corner of the world. [There are] sixty million [Roman Catholics] within the USA herself. [Ed. Note: Counting illegal aliens, it’s a lot more than that!] …Therefore the Vatican is a superpower in its own right. Indeed, because of its duality as a political and as a religious center, it can outbid the other two [superpowers].” (Page 5) The following quote by Hector Macpherson, author of the book The Jesuits in History, lets us know how terrible it was for mankind when the Roman Catholic Church moved into the geopolitical arena (i.e., the “civil sphere”): “Had
the Roman Catholic Church remained a purely religious
organization like any other sect, the world would have been spared centuries
of evil [Ed. Note: such as the Inquisition,
crusades, and Catholic-instigated religious genocide].
But in the course of its development the Romish Church, through
its Popes, entered the civil sphere and aspired to universal
monarchy. In
the fatal year 800, when Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans
by [Pope] Leo III, there was set upon Western Europe the Papacy,
a colossal system whose object is despotic rule of man and
society in all spheres, sacred and secular.
The Papacy claimed not only to possess the ‘Keys of
Heaven’, but also to rule the earth.
The pope came to be regarded as the sole representative of
Deity on earth, and from him must the empire be held. …In its egotistical blindness, and intoxicated with the fumes of sacerdotal conceit, the Papacy set itself in opposition to the spirit of nationality, which in the Middle Ages was beginning to create order out of the disorders caused by the fall of the Roman Empire. Foiled in its endeavors to reign unchecked over rising nationalities the Papacy attempted to rule through monarchs devoted to the [Roman Catholic] Church.” (Pages 108, 109)
By the way, the Jesuit Order (one of the main “political”
arms of the Vatican) not only controls its Jesuit “soldiers”, but
also the Papacy itself, the powerful and wealthy Knights
of Malta, higher-level Knights of Columbus,
and the higher levels of Freemasonry.
The Jesuits, “masters of POLITICS”, have a historically well-documented track record of infiltrating
and subverting governments.
So much so, that Canadian historian J.E.C. Shepherd tells us: “Between 1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuits] was expelled from at least 83 countries, city states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversive plots against the welfare of the State, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [i.e., Thomas J. Campbell]. …Practically every instance of expulsion was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and inciting to political insurrection.” (1987)
Do the Jesuits have a lot of POLITICAL power here
in the USA? Here’s what
Jeremiah J. Crowley (Irishman;
ex-priest in the Roman Catholic Church; author of the book Romanism:
Menace to the Nation) tells us concerning the Jesuit Order: “Today
they [i.e., the
Jesuits] are stronger
in the United States than they ever were in any of the countries
of Europe which expelled them as a menace to the government.”
(1912)
M.F. Cusack (Ex-nun of Kenmore; author of the book The
Black Pope) tells us some interesting information about Rome
(i.e., the Vatican) and its Jesuits in the following two quotes:
“…The Jesuits
are the only religious order in the Church
of Rome…which has lain under the ban of the [‘White’]
Pope, or which has been expelled from any country because of
its interference in politics.
Hence we may expect to find that to obtain political
power forms a main feature in the plans of the Society [of
Jesus – i.e., the Jesuit Order].” (1896)
“The fact is that very few Protestants [Ed.
Note: or other non-Catholic Christians] have realized how entirely Rome
is a political church, and
that she always makes her political
advancement her first object.”
(1896)
The American Catholic hierarchy and the Jesuit Order are very
active POLITICALLY in the United States of America.
Author and journalist Paul Blanchard tells us the following about
Roman Catholic political power in the USA in his book American
Freedom and Catholic Power: “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)
F. Tupper Saussy, author of the book Rulers of Evil: Useful
Knowledge About Governing Bodies, tells us the following about
Roman Catholic POLITICAL power in modern America:
“What [Professor
Carol A.] Brown [of the University of Massachusetts] had learned from Carl Bernstein, I [i.e., F. Tupper Saussy] had
discovered for myself over several years of private investigation:
the papacy really does run United States foreign
policy… Yes, [Carl]
Bernstein noted that the
leading American players behind the Reagan/Vatican conspiracy, to
a man, were ‘devout Roman Catholics’ – namely,
But the reporter neglected to mention that the entire Senate Foreign Relations committee was governed by Roman Catholics as well. Specifically, Senators · Joseph Biden – Subcommittee on European Affairs; · Paul Sarbanes – International Economic Policy, Trade, Oceans, and Environment; · Daniel P. Moynihan – Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs; · John Kerry – Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Communications; and, · Christopher Dodd – Western Hemisphere and Peace Corps Affairs.” (Rulers of Evil; Pages 1, 2) “In
fact, when the ‘Holy Alliance’ story hit the stands [in 1992],
there was virtually no arena of federal legislative activity, according
to ‘The 1992 World Almanac of US Politics’, that was not directly
controlled by a Roman Catholic senator or representative.
The committees and subcommittees of the United States Senate and
House of Representatives governing commerce, communications and
telecommunications, energy, medicine, health, education and welfare,
human services, consumer protection, finance and financial institutions,
transportation, labor and unemployment, hazardous materials, taxation,
bank regulation, currency and monetary policy, oversight of the Federal
Reserve System, commodity prices, rents services, small business
administration, urban affairs, European affairs, Near Eastern and South
Asian affairs, terrorism/narcotics/international communications,
international economic/trade/oceans/environ-mental policy, insurance,
housing, community development, federal loan guarantees, economic
stabilization measures (including wage and price controls), gold and
precious metals transactions, agriculture, animal and forestry
industries, rural issues, nutrition, price supports, Food for Peace,
agricultural exports, soil conservation, irrigation, stream
channelization, flood control, minority enterprise, environment and
pollution, appropriations, defense, foreign operations, vaccines, drug
labeling and packaging, drug and alcohol abuse, inspection and
certification of fish and processed food, use of vitamins and saccharin,
national health insurance proposals, human services, legal services,
family relations, the arts and humanities, the handicapped, and aging
– in other words, virtually every aspect of secular life in America
– came under the chairmanship of one of these Roman Catholic
laypersons: Frank Annunzio Edward Kennedy Daniel Moynihan Joseph

George Miller Vatican
Council II’s ‘Constitution on the Church’ (1964) instructs [Roman
Catholic] politicians to use their secular offices to advance
the cause of Roman Catholicism.” (Rulers of Evil; Pages 2, 3) “An updating of this list will not reflect a significant change in the presence of Roman Catholic laypersons in the higher legislative reaches. According to the ‘Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities’, in the 106th Congress there are 40 ‘Jesuit alumni’ who graduated from 17 Jesuit institutions [of higher learning]. There are 5 alumni in the U.S. Senate and 35 alumni in the House of Representatives. Out of these 40 alumni, 23 received graduate or professional degrees from Jesuit universities. [Jesuit] Georgetown University has the most graduates, boasting 15 alumni in the U.S. Congress.” (Rulers of Evil; Page 303) Of course, we also have a FINANCIAL entity known as the “Vatican Bank”. In fact, the Vatican is into international banking and finance “big time”. Avro Manhattan, in his book The Vatican Billions (Chick Publications, 1983), tells us the following: “The Vatican has large investments with the Rothschilds of Britain, France and America, with the Hambros Bank, [and] with the Credit Suisse in London and Zurich. In the United States it has large investments with the Morgan Bank, the Chase-Manhattan Bank, the First National Bank of New York, the Bankers Trust Company, and others. The Vatican has billions in shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines [IBM], T.W.A., etc. At a conservative estimate, these amount to more than 500 million dollars in the USA alone.” (1983) “In a statement published in connection with a bond prospectus, the Boston archdiocese listed its assets at Six Hundred and Thirty-five Million ($635,891,004), which is 9.9 times its liabilities. This leaves a net worth of Five Hundred and Seventy-one Million dollars ($571,704,953). It is not difficult to discover the truly astonishing wealth of the [Roman Catholic] Church, once we add the riches of the twenty-eight archdioceses and 122 dioceses of the USA, some of which are even wealthier than that of Boston.” (1983)
“Some idea of the real estate and other forms of wealth
controlled by the [Roman] Catholic Church may be gathered by the
remark of a member of the New York Catholic Conference, namely ‘that
his church probably ranks second only to the United States government
in total annual purchase.’ Another
statement, made by a nationally syndicated Catholic priest, perhaps is
even more telling. ‘The
Catholic Church’, he said, ‘must be the biggest corporation
in the United States. We have a branch office in every neighborhood.
Our assets and real estate holdings must exceed
those of Standard Oil, A.T. &T., and U.S. Steel combined.
And our roster of dues-paying members must be second only
to the tax rolls of the United States government.’” “The [Roman] Catholic Church, once all her assets have been put together, is the most formidable stockbroker in the world. …The Wall Street Journal said that the Vatican’s financial deals in the U.S. alone were so big that very often it sold or bought gold in lots of a million or more dollars at one time.” (1983) “The Vatican’s treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. …But this is just a small portion of the wealth of the Vatican, which in the U.S. alone is greater than that of the five wealthiest giant corporations of the country. When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the [Roman] Catholic Church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.” (1983) “The [Roman] Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope…is consequently the richest individual of the twentieth century.” (1983) Michael de Semlyen, author of the book All Roads Lead to Rome?: The Ecumenical Movement, tells us the following about Vatican banking scandals:
“Vatican scandals
involving large-scale fraud and corruption and complicity in a
cover-up have simply been shrugged off.
Archbishop Marcinkus [Ed. Note: then-head of the Vatican
Bank], who was at the center of it
all, was protected by the Pope [i.e., John Paul II]
for more than seven years – and the Italian state authorities [were]
somehow rendered helpless...
Roman Catholic Oxford Professor of Logic, Michael Dummett,
accused the Pope [i.e., John Paul II] of
complicity in a cover-up to protect [Archbishop] Marcinkus.
‘The Sunday Telegraph’ 15th March, 1987, reporting
from the Catholic Weekly ‘The Tablet’, said that Professor Dummett
spoke of ‘the Vatican Bank entangled with complicated practices
from which the most pungent stink of corruption arises.
These practices involved other banks, the Mafia, and the seamiest
type of Freemasonry, culminating in what was possibly the bizarre
suicide, but more probably the grotesque murder of an Italian banker in
London.’
…The Milan [Court] verdict
has brought blunt accusations of complicity in Calvi’s murder
leveled at [Archbishop] Marcinkus
by Calvi’s widow, who claims that her husband had told her shortly
before his death: ‘The priests
want me dead’. Marcinkus
resigned as head of the Vatican Bank, but remained under the
pope’s [i.e., John Paul II’s]
protection and enjoyed Vatican immunity.
Attempts by the Italian authorities to put him on trial with the
others accused of fraud were brushed aside by the Vatican; the Pope
simply refused to hand him over.” Obviously, there is a whole lot of evidence proving that the Vatican is one of the wealthiest – if not THE wealthiest – organization on planet Earth! And, sadly, a lot of Vatican money is used for controlling politicians and governments in many parts of the world! Now let’s take a look at the third question in the “three-part title” of this article: “Is the Vatican a Torture-Loving, Mass-Murdering Machine?” I have covered in many of my previous writings the well-documented history of Papal Rome’s involvement in many religious genocides – genocides carried out against innocent men, women, elderly, and children – genocides carried out not only against Jews, but also against Christians (e.g., Albigensian Christians, Waldensian Christians, Irish Protestants, French Huguenots, and Orthodox Christians). I have also covered in some detail the “holy” crusades, the “holy” wars, and the “holy” INQUISITION that the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church inflicted upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants. Here are just a few quotes to show us how dangerous the Papal Torture-Loving, Mass-Murdering Machine is:
“Roman Catholicism was born in blood, has
wallowed in blood, has quenched its thirst in blood,
and it is in letters of blood that its true history is
written.” (1940) Baron
DePonnat (French statesman)
“Disregarding the maxims and the spirit of the Gospel, the papal
Church, arming herself with the power of the sword, vexed the
Church of God and wasted it for centuries,
a period most appropriately termed in history, the ‘dark ages’.
The kings of the earth gave their power to the Beast.”
– John Foxe (or, Fox) (1516-1587; author of Foxe’s Book of
Martyrs) “Through relentless torture, starvation, genocide, massacres, burning at the stake, against every conceivable fury of [Papal] Rome, they [i.e., the ‘seeds of protest’] could not be extinguished. History estimates that over one hundred million people lost their lives during that time of [Papal] Roman tyranny. Is it any wonder that God graphically describes this onslaught of [Papal] Rome as her being ‘drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus’, and calls her the ‘Beast’?” John Daniel (The Grand Design Exposed; Page 27) “For
rejecting the doctrine of transubstantiation, Christians were burned
at the stake by Roman Catholics by the hundreds of
thousands. Church
historian R. Tudor Jones writes that ‘the majority of the martyrs were
ordinary people, including many women…’ John
Foxe was an eyewitness and earnest historian of the fierce persecution
in England in his day. His Book
of Martyrs gives detailed accounts of many public trials and
executions of those whom the Roman Catholic Church judged to be
‘heretics’ worthy of death. His
descriptions of Christians being burned at the stake tell of
their inspiring bravery in the face of such a horrible death and of the
determination of Roman Catholicism to exterminate
everywhere true Christians who opposed her. Similar records have come down of the massacres of Jews at the hands of the Roman [Catholic] Church.” – Dave Hunt (A Cup of Trembling; Page 160) “The
desire for worldly power began to manifest itself in the Church,
on a broad scale, in the 4th century, when the Roman Empire
ceased its persecutions, and made Christianity its State religion.
The spirit of Imperial Rome passed into the Church.
The Church gradually developed itself into the pattern of the
Empire it had conquered. [Imperial]
Rome fell. But Rome came to life again, as a world power, in the
name of the [Roman Catholic] Church.
The popes of Rome were the heirs and successors
of the Caesars of Rome. The
Vatican is [located] where the Palace of the Caesars was.
The [Roman Catholic] popes have claimed all the authority
the Caesars claimed, and more. The
Papal Palace, throughout the centuries, has been among the most
luxurious in all the world. Popes
have lived in pomp and splendor unsurpassed by earthly kings.
In no place on earth is there more ostentatious pageantry and
show of magnificence than at the coronation of a pope. …The
horrors of the Inquisition, ordered and
maintained by the popes, over a period of 500 years, in which unnumbered
millions were tortured and burned, constitute
the most brutal, beastly and devilish picture in all history. …The
city of Rome, first pagan, then papal, has been the
dominating power of the world for two thousand years (200 B.C. to
A.D. 1800). …It is inconceivable that any ecclesiastical organization, in its mania for power, could have distorted and desecrated and corrupted, for its own exaltation, the beautiful and holy religion of Jesus [Christ].” – Henry H. Halley (Author of the Pocket Bible Handbook) “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) “In 1198, the church [i.e., the Roman Catholic Church] established a commission to persecute and try ‘heretics’. This later developed into the Holy Inquisition. In 1483, Tomas Torquemada...was appointed Grand Inquisitor of Castilia and Aragon. In 1492, he expelled all Jews who refused to become Marranos [Jews who converted to Catholicism].
Torquemada worked
intensively [sic] for 18 years
and burned 10,220 people at the stake...Another 6860 victims died
under torture...a further 300,000 were sent by Torquemada to the
galleys, of whom a third died. In
total, 114,401 families were wiped out.
Torquemada was especially energetic in persecuting philosophers,
authors, doctors and scientists.
This Grand Inquisitor made torture an efficient tool…”
Juri Lina (Under
the Sign of the Scorpion: The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Empire)
“History records the appalling story of suffering and
martyrdom endured by untold millions
across the centuries at the hand of the PAPAL MACHINE.” Wilson Ewin (You Can Lead Roman Catholics to Christ;
page 33)
“During the Dark Ages, over 150 million Christians
were put to death because they would not
abide by the universal religion [Ed. Note: Roman Catholicism] at that time.” Bill
Hughes (The Enemy Unmasked; Page 52) “Indeed, the Roman Catholic Church has a long history of persecution, expulsion, and slaughter of Jews, to which Hitler referred in justifying the Holocaust.” Dave
Hunt (A Cup of Trembling; Page 158) “Estimates
of the number of victims [of the Vatican’s Holocaust in Croatia in
the 1940s] exceed a million.
This is probably a realistic figure.
Yugoslavia in its war crimes trials estimated that from 700,000
to 900,000 victims were ‘tortured and put to death…[in] the
two dozen concentration camps’ within Croatia, and tens of thousands
never reached the camps. Many
were Jews, but most were Serbians of Orthodox faith who were give the
choice of conversion to Roman Catholicism or death.
Both in Yugoslavia and the Ukraine, Roman Catholic priests,
bishops, and cardinals, with the full knowledge of the Vatican,
participated in and gave their blessing to some of the bloodiest and
most barbaric massacres of the war, aimed at giving Roman Catholicism
control of these regions.” –
Dave Hunt (A Woman
Rides the Beast; Pages 303, 304)
“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 (The Secret History of the Jesuits; Page 9)
“The Jesuits, in control of [Adolph]
Hitler’s occultic and
homosexual Third Reich… installed puppet dictators throughout
Europe. They were:
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 (Vatican
Assassins; Page 478) When we consider the preceding three quotes – and I could have included more – we see that much of the responsibility for the horrible pain, suffering, and mass murder that occurred during World War II can be laid directly at the doorstep of the Vatican! Since we have examined the last two questions in this article’s “three-part title”, let’s now try to answer the first question: “The
Vatican – Is It a Topic that Should Be Discussed?” Shouldn’t we discuss a geopolitical-financial-religious organization (i.e., the Vatican and its Jesuits) that in the 19th century, along with the absolute monarchs of Europe, made plans to DESTROY the American Constitutional Republic? Please consider the following quotations:
“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 (The Secret Terrorists; Page 15)
“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 (The Secret Terrorists; Page 14)
“In 1822 [at the
secret meetings at Verona, Italy] the
Roman Catholic Monarchies of Europe conspired with the Vatican
to destroy the concept of popular government, as found in
the experiment of the United States, by means of infiltration,
subversion and corruption. The
tools used were the Leopold foundation, which was set up by Prince
Metternich of Austria, and the Jesuit Order.
The purpose being to use the financial and
military arms of the United States to further the
interests of the Papacy in its goal of putting all the
world under the temporal submission [sic;
i.e., power] of the [Roman
Catholic] Church.” C.T. Wilcox (Canadian actor; author of The Transformation of the Republic; Page 13) Shouldn’t we discuss a geopolitical-financial-religious organization (i.e., the Vatican and its Jesuits) that through Catholic leaders and Catholic publications has made vile statements about our religious liberty, freedoms of press and speech, and our Constitutional Republic? Please consider the following quotations made by Roman Catholic prelates and publications:
“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 “The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a most pestilential error – a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a State.”
Pope Pius IX (1792-1878; pope: 1846-1878; Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854) “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.” Pope Pius IX (Syllabus Errorum of December 1864) “These false and perverse opinions [of democracy and individual freedom] are so much the more detestable, by as much as they…hinder 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) Pope Pius IX
“…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 [i.e., religious liberty], and the acceptance of
the Catholic
principle [i.e., religious tyranny; Roman Catholicism as the State religion]…” Catholic World (August 1871; page 735)
“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)
“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
that…one 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) Please also consider these warnings given to us by ex-Roman Catholics and non-Catholics: “The Vatican has consistently fought every democratic advance from absolute monarchies toward government by the people, beginning with England’s Magna Carta (June 15, 1215), ‘the mother of European Constitutions’. That vital document was denounced immediately by Pope Innocent III ([pope:] 1198-1216)… Encouraged by the pope, King John [of England] brought in foreign mercenaries to fight the [English] barons [who had forced King John to sign the Magna Carta], bringing great destruction upon the country. Subsequent popes did all in their power to help [English King] John’s successor, [King] Henry III, overturn the Magna Carta, impoverishing the country with papal taxes (salaries to the numerous imported Italian [Roman Catholic] priests were three times the crown’s annual revenue).” Dave Hunt (A Woman Rides the Beast; Pages 54, 55) “For
over 200 years, the goal [of the Jesuits] has been the complete
destruction of the United States Constitution.
…In the religious arena, the goal of the Jesuits is to wipe out
any trace of Protestantism and other religions, and to restore
worldwide domination by the pope.” Bill
Hughes (The Secret Terrorists; Page 138) “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 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 (A Woman Rides the Beast; Page 126)
“While traveling through Italy in 1830 and 1831, Professor [Samuel F. B.] Morse [Ed. Note: American inventor of the telegraph]…encountered
several hostile ecclesiastics of the Church
of Rome.
One loquacious Cardinal attempted to intimidate [Professor] Morse by informing him that a Vatican
conspiracy under the cloak of a ‘religious mission’ was about to be launched
against the United States.
Named the ‘St. Leopold Foundation for the Furtherance of
Catholic Missions in America’, the papal plot intended to undermine America’s constitutional form of government by invading her shores with excessive waves of [mainly Roman Catholic] European immigration.
[Ed. Question: And later with waves of mainly Roman
Catholic Mexican and other Latin American countries’ immigration?]
This was cause for serious alarm
given the
[well-documented] history of Rome’s
violent opposition to religious liberty and the inability of her
benighted [i.e., unenlightened] lay people to think beyond a ‘pray, pay, and
obey’ mentality.
Returning to his homeland in the autumn of 1832, Professor Morse
attempted to warn his endangered
countrymen by authoring two books of his own: Foreign Conspiracy
Against the Liberties of the United States and Imminent Dangers
to the Free Institutions of the United States Through Foreign
Immigration.”
– Dr. William P. Grady (Ex-Roman Catholic)
“The reality of such a conspiracy
[Ed. Note: to bring in waves of predominantly Roman Catholic
immigrants from the 1830s and thereafter] was subsequently confirmed
by a dramatic shift in the nation’s [the USA’s] census
statistics. By 1830 there
were only 318,000
Roman Catholics in America, compared to a total population of
12,866,020. [Ed. Comment: If my math is correct, then only approximately 2.5% of the entire population of America in 1830 was Roman Catholic.] Just
15 years later, over 100,000 immigrants were arriving annually.
Within two years time that figure was doubled!
By 1850 the number of foreigners entering the country was up to
300,000 per year, and pressing half a million per annum four years after
that. On the eve of the
Civil War [of 1861-65] the total number of American Catholics had
ballooned to 3,103,000 – roughly ten per cent of the nation’s
entire population. In just
eight more years the figure would exceed five million!
Whereas a mere 200 [Roman] Catholic churches existed in
1830, within three decades [there were] over 2400…
Overnight the character of American experienced a downward
spiral. Drunkenness, pauperism, immorality and lawlessness became the
staples of society. A host
of new words, such as ‘paddy wagon’, ‘racketeering’ and
‘Mafia’ would become part of the nation’s vocabulary.”
Dr. William P. Grady (Ex-Roman Catholic)
“[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 (The Secret Terrorists; Page 7)
“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 (Ex-Roman Catholic) “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. Though there were great differences of opinion between the South and the North on the question of slavery, neither Jeff Davis [President of the Confederacy] nor anyone of the leading men of the Confederacy would have dared to attack the North, had they not relied on the promises of the Jesuits, that under the mask of Democracy, the money and arms of the Roman Catholic, even the arms of France, were at their disposal if they would attack us. I pity the priests, the bishops and monks of Rome in the United States, when the people realize that they are, in great part, responsible for the tears and the blood shed in this war. I conceal what I know on that subject from the knowledge of the nation, for if the people knew the whole truth, this war would turn into a religious war, and it would at once take a tenfold more savage and bloody character. It would become merciless as all religious wars are. It would become a war of extermination on both sides. The Protestants of both the North and the South would surely unite to exterminate the priests and the Jesuits, if they could hear what Professor [Samuel B.] Morse [Ed. Note: U.S. inventor of the telegraph] has said to me of the plots made in the very city of Rome [i.e., at the Vatican] to destroy this Republic, and if they could learn how the [Roman Catholic] priests, the nuns, and the monks, which daily land on our shores, under the pretext of preaching their religion, instructing the people in their schools, taking care of the sick in the hospitals, are nothing else but the emissaries of the Pope, of Napoleon, and the other despots of Europe, to undermine our institutions, alienate the hearts of our people from our Constitution, and our laws, destroy our schools, and prepare a reign of anarchy here as they have done in Ireland, in Mexico, in Spain, and wherever there are any people who want to be free.” – Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865; 16th President of the United States) “Have not the popes [e.g., Pope Pius IX in his Syllabus of Errors of 1864] 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 destroyed – killed 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 (1809-1899; Ex-Roman Catholic priest; friend of Abraham Lincoln) “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 mass…to protect themselves from a Vatican takeover. These were Christian communities deeply concerned about the ‘whore of
Revelation’ [i.e., the “whore” described in the book of Revelation
in the Bible]. 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 legislation…to 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 T. Chick (Smokescreens; Pages 75, 76)
“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.” Jack T. Chick (1983; Smokescreens; Page 85)
“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.
[Papal] Rome never
changes.” –
Raywood Frazier (March 16, 1960)
“The presence of the Jesuits
in any country, Romanist or Protestant, is likely to breed social
disturbance.” – Lord Palmerston (1784-1865; British statesman
& prime minister)
“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 (Publisher)
“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.”
– Marquis de LaFayette (1757-1834; French statesman and
general; served in the Continental Army under General George Washington) “…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) “Let America again be forewarned as to Rome’s intention ‘to make America Catholic’.”
Larry Harrison (Publisher) The bottom line is that the Vatican has NOT really changed, despite all of its ecumenical rhetoric and the “liberal, smiley face” that the Vatican II Council put on Roman Catholicism. Wilson Ewin, on page 14 of his book You Can Lead Roman Catholics to Christ, tells us: “Suddenly, the Vatican II Council of the early sixties took place and radical modifications of the outward appearance of Catholicism began to emerge. No change in the fundamental doctrines, teachings or dogmas of the Church ever took place however.” Despite [false] claims of loving the “separated brethren”, the Romish Church’s hierarchy still hates Jews, Bible-believing Christians, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians. Catholic Fascist States in Europe, with the blessings and support of the Vatican, slaughtered all these groups during World War II (1939-1945). The Vatican has not hesitated to use FORCE (‘holy’ Inquisition, war, revolution, and even religious genocide) in the past, and it will not hesitate to do so again in the future! And so, should we be discussing the Vatican? How can we NOT be discussing this GEOPOLITICAL-FINANCIAL-RELIGIOUS organization that hates the American Constitutional Republic, religious liberty, and all the freedoms we Americans love so dearly – especially when the Vatican and European monarchs made plans in the 19th century to destroy the American Republic with all its liberty? How can we NOT be discussing this GEOPOLITICAL-FINANCIAL-RELIGIOUS organization that helped to foment the American Civil War of 1861-1865; that provided moral support to the Confederacy; that organized and carried out the assassination of President Lincoln; and that helped one of the conspirators in the assassination of Lincoln to escape to Rome? How can we NOT be discussing this GEOPOLITICAL-FINANCIAL-RELIGIOUS organization that put Adolph Hitler into power; that backed Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Fascist Croatia, Fascist Slovakia, etc., in World War II; that conducted a brutal religious genocide in Croatia in the 1940s, murdering from 600,000 to one million innocent Serb Orthodox Christians; and that helped many Fascist war criminals at the end of World War II to escape punishment via the “Vatican Ratlines” (hiding them out in Roman Catholic convents, monasteries, etc.)? How can we NOT be discussing this GEOPOLITICAL-FINANCIAL-RELIGIOUS organization that created the ‘holy’ office of Inquisition with its many brutal forms of torture; that has never renounced its “Right” to use force whenever and wherever it believes it should; that has never destroyed its detailed records on “how to maximize torture without killing the individual”; and that plans to control the one-world government and one-world religion? How can we NOT be discussing this GEOPOLITICAL-FINANCIAL-RELIGIOUS organization that is currently the very top player on the geopolitical and financial scene, and that is the top player “behind the scenes” pushing the nations of the world into a New World Order? How can we NOT be discussing the historical facts concerning the Vatican and its Jesuits, since we tend to repeat those hard lessons in history that we fail to learn? We had all better start discussing the Vatican and its Jesuits in great depth – and soon – because if we fail to do so, there will be NO freedom for future generations of Americans!
