“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”
June 20, 2006 (Updated through: April 19,
2007)
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
one 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 many centuries over the monarchs of Europe. In fact, the Papacy [i.e., 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,
Papal Rome’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 the 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 Papal Rome’s “holy” Inquisition, “holy”
crusades, “holy” wars, and 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)
The
Jesuit Order (one of the main political arms of Papal
Rome)
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 highest levels of
Freemasonry. The Jesuits, “masters
of politics”, have quite a “track record” of infiltrating
and subverting governments. Canadian historian J.E.C. Shepherd tells us
the following about expulsions of the Jesuits (due to their political
intrigues) in his book The
Babington Plot: Jesuit Intrigue in Elizabethan England (1987):
“Between
1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e.,
the Jesuit Order] 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;
Page 12)
Do the Jesuits have a lot of POLITICAL
power 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 Black Pope; 1896) tells
us about Papal and Jesuit “politics” in the following two quotes from her book:
“…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].” (The Black Pope;
1896)
“The
fact is that very few Protestants [Ed. Note: or other Christians] have realized how
entirely Rome is a political church, and that she
always makes her political advancement her first
object.” (The
Black Pope; 1896)
The American [Roman] 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 (1949):
“There is no doubt that the
American [Roman] Catholic hierarchy has entered the political arena, and that it is
becoming more and more aggressive in extending the frontiers of [Roman] 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 [Roman] 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 (1999),
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., author 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; 1999; 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 / environmental 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:
Joseph Biden John Kerry John
Murtha
Silvio Conte John LaFalce Mary
Rose Oakar
John Dingell Charles Luken Claiborne
Pell
Christopher Dodd Edward Madigan Charles Rangel
Vic Fazio Edward Markey Dan
Rostenkowski
James Florio Joseph McDade Edward
Roybal
Henry Gonzalez Barbara Mikulski
Thomas Harkin 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;
1999; 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; 1999; Page 303)
Of course, we also have a FINANCIAL
entity known as the “Vatican Bank”. The Vatican is into international banking
and finance “big time”. Avro
Manhattan, in his book The Vatican Billions (Chick
Publications, 1983), tells us (in the following six quotations) about the
enormous wealth of Papal Rome:
“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.” (The Vatican
Billions; 1983)
“In a statement published in
connection with a bond prospectus, the Boston archdiocese [of the Roman Catholic Church] 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.” (The Vatican Billions; 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 [Roman] 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 Vatican Billions;
1983)
“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.” (The Vatican Billions;
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.”
(The Vatican Billions; 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
Vatican Billions; 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 and at
that time a bishop], 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 [he] 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.” (All Roads Lead to Rome?; 1993; Pages 71, 72)
There is a lot of evidence proving
that the Vatican is THE wealthiest organization on
planet Earth! And, a lot of Vatican
money is used for controlling and manipulating politicians and
governments in many parts of the world in order to advance the Jesuit-controlled
Vatican’s New World Order agenda of a one-world government and a
one-world religion to be ruled despotically from “behind the scenes” by
the Jesuit Superior General – the “Black Pope”!
Now let’s 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 some of my
previous writings the well-documented history of Papal Rome’s frequent
involvement in mass murder – mass murder carried out against innocent
men, women, elderly, and children – mass murder carried out not only against
Jews, but also against Christians (e.g., Albigensian Christians, Waldensian
Christians, Irish Protestants, French Huguenots, and Orthodox Christians). Papal Rome’s long history of
mass murder includes her “holy” crusades, her “holy” wars, and
her “holy” Inquisition (all forms of religious genocide
which she has inflicted and visited upon millions of the Earth’s
inhabitants). Here are just a few
quotes to show us how dangerous Papal Rome’s
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.” – Baron DePonnat (French
statesman) (1940)
“Disregarding
the maxims and the spirit of the Gospel, the papal Church, arming herself
with the power of the sword, vexed the [true] 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’ [Revelation
17:6], and calls her the ‘Beast’?”
John Daniel (The Grand Design Exposed;
1999; 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
[early] Church, on a broad scale, in the 4th century, when the
[Imperial] Roman Empire ceased its persecutions, and made Christianity its
State religion. The spirit of Imperial Rome passed into the Church
[i.e., Papal Rome]. The [Roman Catholic] 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 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].”
Dr. Henry H. Halley (Halley’s 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; 1998; Page 15)
“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; 1981; 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; 2004; Page 52)
“Indeed, the Roman Catholic Church has a long
history of persecution, expulsion, and slaughter of Jews, to which [Adolf] Hitler referred in justifying the
Holocaust.” – Dave Hunt (A Cup of Trembling; 1995; Page 158)
“Estimates of the number of victims [of the Vatican’s Holocaust in Fascist 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; 1994; 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; 1975; Page 9)
“The
Jesuits, in control of [Adolf] 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; 2001; 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 the 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 the Jesuits] were planning to destroy the free institutions of
America.”
– Bill Hughes (The Secret Terrorists; 2002; 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; 2002; 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 (The Transformation of the Republic; 2005; Page 13)
Shouldn’t we discuss a geopolitical-financial-religious
organization (i.e., the Vatican and the Jesuits) that through
Roman Catholic leaders and publications has made vile statements against our
religious liberty, freedoms of press and speech, and our American
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 (pope:
1831-1846)
“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 (born-died: 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 [Roman] 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 (pope: 1846-1878; 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.”
Pope Pius IX (pope: 1846-1878; Quanta Cura; December 8, 1864)
“…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

“No man has a right to choose
his religion. [Roman] 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)
((Ed.
Comment to the preceding quote: This explains “why” the Vatican signed Concordats
with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy during World War II.))
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-Roman 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).”

“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; 2002; 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;
1994; 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
“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
“[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; 2002; 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 [Roman] Catholic press was ecstatic. An excerpt from ‘Shepherd of the Valley’,
the official journal of the [Roman Catholic] Bishop of St. Louis,
declared, ‘If [Roman] Catholics ever gain a sufficient numerical
majority in this country, religious freedom is at an end. So our enemies say, so we believe.’ [Roman Catholic Archbishop] Hughes’ own paper, the ‘New York Freeman’
brazenly announced, ‘No man has a right to choose his religion.’” – Dr. William P. Grady
“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 [i.e., his 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 Revelation Chapter 17 of the Holy 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 [Roman] 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 a
