    Romanism & The Harlot Church:

    Part: 1 scratching the surface

    by Todd Stevens

    That is faith if I ever saw it

    You will have to pardon me for anything that you may find of

    great importance to be left out. Nothing in this article is

    purposefully omitted and to the extent of this article only so muchcan be covered. The full history and influence of the Vatican

    Romanism could only be uncovered through novels that would

    have to have multiple volumes.

    First off there needs to be some clarification in definitions,

    Catholic has developed the connotation of being particularly

    Christian but in truth the word itself actually means: catholic

    adjective

    1. broad or wide-ranging in tastes, interests, orthelike; having

    sympathies with all; broad-minded;liberal.

    2. universal in extent; involving all; of interest to all.

    3. pertaining to the whole Christian body or church.

    The Roman Catholic religion can actually be argued to have

    started before the death and resurrection of Jesus and its first

    origins derived from the pantheon of Gods it first held connection

    to; this makes more sense when the definition term describes it as:

    broad or wide ranging in tastes; universal in extent; involving all.

    If it involves all then it cannot be Christian by its very definition,

    seeing as how Christianity is a monotheistic religion.

    The Vatican is one of the most corrupt, evil, pagan, institutions on

    the face of the planet. They are one of the key spiritual leaders in

    the Illuminati, that play an instrumental role as sheep herder for

    the masses that follow every little decree and Papal Bull that theyput out. They literally alter societies. This is perfectly evident if

    you look at a majority of the South American cultures that are

    Catholic, as well as, the European cultures that follow them. With

    their guilt trip of decrying birth control as a sin in Latin America

    along with the limitations on abortion you get over 5,000womens death due to illegal abortion in these countries. This is

    not an avocation for abortion but merely an example of the control

    over even the most personal aspects of individuals lives that theVatican can control from their own Sovereign City-State of the

    Vatican. This is nothing in comparison to the mental and spiritual

    aspects of life that the Vatican has wielded throughout the world

    since the days of Constantine.

    Despite popular humor the Hallmark Card Company did notinvent holidays like Easter, Christmas, and Halloween and neither

    did the Vatican. What the Vatican did do was pull MysteryBabylon traditions into their belief structure attracting pagan

    believers in older days and now more recently have pulled the

    wool over the eyes of millions causing them to unwittinglypractice a pagan holiday. You could say that its just a holiday,

    its all in fun but this does not sit well with me. A deception such

    as this, where millions of people do something just because it has

    been passed down from a church seems like a form of masshypnosis to me. This is also not an attack on anyone elses form of

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    3/24

    worship. It is pointing out who the liars of this world are. Those

    that lie and deceive people are truly the practitioners of the

    Lucifierian doctrine. For humanity to move forward all lies must

    be dispelled. This is also not a form of preaching telling you not to

    have fun on these holidays if you choose to do so. The

    information in this article is only intended to make those aware

    who may not be of the origins of these holidays and rituals.

    Revelation chapter 17:1-7

    I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that

    sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have

    committed fornication and the inhabitants of the earth have been

    made drunk with the wine of her fornicationI saw a woman sit

    upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy havingseven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple

    and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and

    pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and

    filthiness of her fornication:

    And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,

    BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND

    ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

    And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and

    with the blood of martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her I

    wondered with great admiration.

    Whether it be self fulfilling prophecy or a direct connection tobiblical revelation the Vatican honestly has so many striking

    parallels to this that it can not be overlooked.

    The pantheon in Rome which was once used for Roman/Greek

    gods has been transformed by the Roman/Catholic church into a

    hall of saints. These saints are worshipped or what the Catholic

    Church likes to call venerated or adorned. In the Roman Catholic

    Church this has been set forth in mass to prayer to the Virgin

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    4/24

    Mary in the rosary prayer. It is described by James A. Wylie in

    The Papacy London 1852 pg 370 that The same worship is

    rendered to Mary as to Christ. Churches are built to her honour;

    her shrines are crowded with devotees; enriched with their gifts;

    and adorned with their votive offerings. To her prayers are

    addressed to divine being, and blessings are asked as to one that

    has power to bestow to them. Her votarers are taught to praySpare Us, Good Lady and from all evil deliver us good Lady.

    (pg 370) Again it is not a matter of what, who or how anyone

    prays but rather it is what the Vatican claims and what they

    perpetuate. Moving on, to further these introductory connections

    Alexander Hislop describes in his book The Two Babylons thatthis ancient Cup that the harlot holds derives its origins in

    Babylon itself thus we have the first instance of seeing suchimagery derived from ancient Babylon, as they were exhibited

    in Greece; for thus was the Greek Venus originallyrepresented further saying that and it is singular that in our

    own day, and so far as appears for the first time, the Roman

    Church has actually taken this very symbol as her own chosen

    emblem. In 1825, on occasion of the jubilee, Pope Leo XII struck

    a medal, bearing on the one side his own image, and on the other,that of the Church of Rome symbolized as a Woman, holding in

    her left hand a cross, and in her right a CUP, with the legendaround her, Sedet super universum, The whole world is her

    seat (pg 10).

    The Confession as a borrowing of Babylonian Mystery

    One of the largest extents to which the Papacy has fallen from

    grace is within the fact that worship has also been transform from

    a God or higher sense of being into a reverence for the papacy

    itself. This is seen clearly in the statues all around the Vatican

    towards odd occult symbology, saints, and popes. In a more direct

    fashion it is encapsulated in the confessional. Instead of seeking

    patients and forgiveness from themselves or God they are nowdirected to the priesthood for forgiveness as if they have special

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    5/24

    powers above man. A former Roman priest Charles Chinquy

    describes as a child how this was imposed upon him This week,

    you will send your children to confession. Make them understand

    that this action is one of the most important of their lives, and that

    for every one of them, it will decide their eternal happiness or

    misery. Fathers and mothers, if, through your fault, or his own,

    your child is guilty of a bad confession if he conceals his sins and

    commences lying to the priest, who holds the place of God

    Himself, this sin is often irreparable. The devil will take

    possession of his heart: he will become accustomed to lie to his

    father confessor, or rather to Jesus Christ, of whom he is a

    representative. His life will be a series of sacrileges; his death andeternity those of the reprobate. Teach him, therefore, to examine

    thoroughly his actions, words and thoughts, in order to confesswithout disguise(Chinquy 20). He goes on to express his

    personal feeling at the time

    I was in the church of St. Thomas when these words fell upon me

    like a thunderbolt. I had often heard my mother say, when at

    home and my aunt since I had come to St. Thomas that upon thefirst confession depended my eternal happiness or misery. That

    week was, therefore, to decide about my eternity (Chinquy 20).

    What a terrible burden to put on the mind and soul of a child.

    How truly sick it is to deceive a child into thinking that talking to

    a priest about every little sin they could have done would

    somehow open or close the gates of eternal heaven. Shame on thePriesthood!

    According to Hislop this is again taken directly from the traditions

    of Babylon Thus the people, wherever the Babylonian system

    spread, were bound neck and heel to the priests. The priests were

    the only depositaries of religious knowledge; they only had the

    true tradition by which the writs and symbols of the public

    religion could be interpreted; and without blind and implicit

    submission to them, what was necessary for salvation could not beknown. Now compare this with the early history of the Papacy,

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    6/24

    and with its spirit and modus operandi throughout, and how exact

    was the coincidence! Was it in a period of patriarchal light that thecorrupt system of the Babylonian Mysteries began?(Hislop

    11). It is also described in the next instance that this was going on

    from the beginning days of the apostles

    when martyrs were sealing their testimony for the truth with

    their blood. Even then, when the Gospel shone so brightly, theSpirit of God bore this clear and distinct testimony by Paul: THE

    MYSTERY OF INIQUITY DOTH ALREADY WORK (2 Thess

    2:7).(Hislop 11).

    In contrast you see that Rome had its form of confession

    developed That confessional was itself borrowed from Babylon.

    The confession required of the votaries of Rome is entirelydifferent from the confession prescribed in the Word of God. The

    dictate of Scripture in regard to confession is, Confess your

    faults one to another (James 5:16), (Hislop 18.) This also being

    so in Greece : All the Greeks, from Delphi to Thermopylae,

    were initiated in the Mysteries of the temple of Delphi. Theirsilence in regard to everything they were commanded to keep

    secret was secured both by the fear of the penalties threatened to a

    perjured revelation, and by the general CONFESSION exacted of

    the aspirants after initiationa confession which caused them

    greater dread of the indiscretion of the priest, than gave him

    reason to dread theirindiscretion.(Hislop 12).

    Now why is confessional of any importance at all? It is all takenback from basic mystery religions that developed through timefrom the Assyrians to the Egyptians, moving on and finding

    place with the Greeks and Romans and is now found within the

    Church of today. As described, Without such confession, in the

    Church of Rome, there can be no admission to the Sacraments,

    any more than in the days of Paganism there could be admissionwithout confession to the benefit of the Mysteries. Now, this

    confession is made by every individual, in SECRECY AND IN

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    7/24

    SOLITUDE, to the priest sitting in the name and clothed with the

    authority of God, invested with the power to examine the

    conscience, to judge the life, to absolve or condemn according to

    his mere arbitrary will and pleasure. This is the grand pivot onwhich the whole Mystery of iniquity,(Hislop 11). The power to

    which a group gains through the confession of another is

    tremendous. Your life is in their hands they are the gatekeepers of

    your soul. They hold you morally hostage to their will and

    pleasure; which is the spirit within the mystery that they hold

    above others. Your secrets are theirs. Lesser degrees of mystery

    are delegated to the initiate and the priesthood hangs on to the

    rest.

    Even in the Greek and Roman cultures their arithmetic and

    mythological culture was collected through the Assyrian and

    Babylonian culture. In this it shows how cultures use and borrow

    bits and pieces to formulate a society of their own. In this it also

    reflects the structure and direction that this culture will assumeWhat is wanted in one country is supplemented in another; and

    what actually crops out in different directions, to a large extentnecessarily determines the character of much that does not

    directly appear on the surface. Taking, then, the admitted unity

    and Babylonian character of the ancient Mysteries of Egypt,

    Greece, Phoenicia, and Rome, as the clue to guide us in our

    researches, (Hislop 19). Modern arithmetic would not come into

    existence until the Muslim culture would rise in the 6th and 7th

    centuries.

    Hindu religion from an original worship to a Caste system

    Has a cultural fall from grace occurred before and can it be seen in

    a more recent instance? In Alexander Hislops work there is one

    such culture that can be seen when studying further, this cultures

    beginning. The Hindu culture is one of the oldest civilizations thatcan be seen and read from dating back at least 5000 years. Their

    Supreme Being Brahma was once thought of as a gracious

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    8/24

    character of God, as revealed in His dealings with a lost and guilty

    world. This is manifest from the very name Brahm, appropriatedby them to the one infinite and eternal God. (Hislop 18). It would

    also be once seen that the universal Lord,from the connection

    between Rahm the womb and Rahm the merciful one? Here,

    then, we find that Brahm is just the same as Er-Rahman, The

    all-merciful one,a title applied by the Turks to the Most High,

    and that the Hindoos, notwithstanding their deep religious

    degradation now, had once known that the most holy, most high

    God, is also The God of Mercy, in other words, that he is a

    just God and a Savior (Hislop 18). This however would not last

    and a subsequent degradation would occur were the beliefstructure would move into a priestly caste system in which theBrahmins would exalt themselves as a priestly, half-divine

    caste, to whom all others ought to bow down, have for many ages

    taught that, while the other castes came from the arms, and body

    and feet of Brahmathe visible representative and manifestation of

    the invisible Brahm, and identified with himthey alone camefrom the mouth of the creative God(Hislop 19).

    The Holy Trinity in Ancient Worship

    The borrowing of the Holy Trinity also has nothing to do with

    Father, Son, and Holy Ghost but is rather another usage of the

    Hindu and Buddhist that got their traditions through mystery

    origin. In India, the supreme divinity, in like manner, in one of themost ancient cave-temples, is represented with three heads on one

    body, under the name of Eko Deva Trimurtti, One God, threeforms. You can also see this as Brahma (the supreme Godhead)

    Shiva (the destroyer) and Vishnu (savior) also avatars as Krishna

    and Rama this in the Hindu is referred to as the Trimurti. In Japan,

    the Buddhists worship their great divinity, Buddha, with three

    heads, in the very same form, under the name of San Pao Fuh In

    another fashion it is the trinity of Isis, Osiris, and Horace.

    The Mother and the Child

    One of the most prevalent symbols in the Vatican is the Mother

    Child imagery of Mary and Christ. It is even admitted that InPapal Italy, as travelers universally admit (except where the

    Gospel has recently entered), all appearance of worshipping the

    King Eternal and Invisible is almost extinct, while the Mother and

    the Child are the grand objects of worship (Hislop 22). Mind you

    this book was written in 1852, with the prevalence being much

    higher now. This Mother Child symbolism comes from multiplesources such as In India, even to this day, as Isi and Iswara; in

    Asia, as Cybele and Deoius; in Pagan Rome, as Fortuna andJupiter-puer, or Jupiter, the boy; in Greece, as Ceres, the Great

    Mother, with the babe at her breast, or as Irene, the goddess of

    Peace, with the boy Plutus in her arms; and even in Tibet, in

    China, and Japan, the Jesuit missionaries were astonished to find

    the counterpart of Madonna and her child as devoutly worshipped

    as in Papal Rome itself; Shing Moo, the Holy Mother in China,

    being represented with a child in her arms, and a glory around her,

    exactly as if a Roman Catholic artist had been employed to set herup.

    Isis and Osiris, as the child called most frequently Horus.BUNSEN (Hislop 22).

    Christmas is not just a coincidence

    Despite certain films and books that have been floating around the

    birth date of Jesus has no historical or scripture basis to it. It is

    more accurate that he was born before the winter this beingbecause in scripture it describes At the time that the angel

    announced His birth to the shepherds of Bethlehem, they werefeeding their flocks by night in the open fields (Hislop 85). The

    shepherds would not be out feeding their flocks in the dead of

    winter in Palestine because of piercing weather. It is actually more

    accurately described that since The first rain falls in the month

    Marchesvan, which answers to the latter part of our October andthe former part of NovemberFrom whence it appears that Christ

    must be born before the middle of October(Hislop 85). Anyways

    there are enough scholars out there to find this out from if one

    were to feel the need to do so. The true origins again fall from

    Mystery Babylon worship falling on the Winter Solstice and the

    Druidic Yule-day of the Mother goddess worship as describe byHislop The time of the year, and the ceremonies with which it is

    still celebrated, prove its origin. In Egypt, the son of Isis, theEgyptian title for the queen of heaven, was born at this very time,about the time of the winter solstice. The very name by which

    Christmas is popularly known among ourselvesYule-dayprovesat once its Pagan and Babylonian origin. Yule is the Chaldee

    name for an infant or little child; * and as the 25th of

    December was called by our Pagan Anglo-Saxon ancestors,Yule-day, or the Childs day, and the night that preceded it,Mother-night, long before they came in contact with

    Christianity, that sufficiently proves its real character (85). This

    is also seen in the celebratory aspects of the ending of the yearand sun worship Far and wide, in the realms of Paganism, was

    this birth-day observed. This festival has been commonly believed

    to have had only an astronomical character, referring simply to the

    completion of the suns yearly course, and the commencement of

    a new cycle (Hislop 85).

    11/24

    Easter

    This celebration also has no basis in scripture and is more likely

    derived from pagan worship of Astarte, queen Beltis, and the

    Druidic worship of the priest of the groves, once againdescribed that this Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the

    titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced

    by the people Nineveh, was evidently identical with that now incommon use in this country. That name, as found by Layard on

    the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar. The worship of Bel and

    Astarte was very early introduced into Britain, along with the

    Druids, the priests of the groves(Hislop 93).

    Marys ascension

    Mary other than being the mother of Christ has really no divinity

    attributed to her in scripture. There is no instance other than the

    Immaculate Conception in which she is shown any source of holy

    power. Yet the Vatican still has celebration and worship given to

    her as some form of goddess figure. They follow this type ofworship in the feast of Assumption were it is taught that the

    Virgin Mary saw no corruption, that in body and in soul she was

    carried up to heaven, and now is invested with all power inheaven and in earth. This doctrine has been unblushingly avowed

    in the face of the British public, in a recent pastoral of the Popish

    Archbishop of Dublin. This doctrine has now received the stamp

    of Papal Infallibility, having been embodied in the late

    blasphemous decree that proclaims the ImmaculateConception(Hislop 111). This is in following the Babylonian

    school of thought that corresponds with APOLLODORUS. We

    have seen that the great goddess, who was worshipped in Babylon

    as The Mother, was in reality the wife of Ninus, the great god,

    the prototype of Bacchus. In conformity with this, we find a

    somewhat similar story told of Ariadne, the wife of Bacchus, as isfabled of Semele his mother. The garment of Thetis, says

    Bryant, contained a description of some notable achievements in

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    12/24

    the first ages; and a particular account of the apotheosis, of

    Ariadne, who is described, whatever may be the meaning of it, ascarried by Bacchus to heaven (Hislop 111). Interestingly enough

    there is another momentous occasion that the Vatican could

    possibly be celebrating on this Assumption Day; on this day in theyear 1534 The Society of Jesus was constituted (Paris 22).

    Although they had been around for a period of time already this

    was the official appointment to office.

    Mithraic origins of sacrament

    One of the first wide spread religious practices in the Roman

    world was Mithraism, which was practice from the 1st to the 5th

    century. Although it was never declared an official religion it was

    practiced by many of the soldiers and was widely accepted amongthe people, as were multiple other Gods of the time. In Roman

    Catholic religion certain practices are derived directly from thisMithraic worship. As described on gotquestions.org One of the

    key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which involved

    eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a bull. Mithras, the godof Mithraism, was present in the flesh and blood of the bull, and

    when consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of thesacrificial meal (theophagy, the eating of ones god). Mithraism

    also had seven sacraments, making the similarities between

    Mithraism and Roman Catholicism too many to ignore

    (gotquestions.org 1).

    These instances of pagan worship are of importance because ofthe separation from you and your own personal God. (Whatever

    creator you may believe in) By deceptive tactics and creating the

    mediator of the priesthood to the people your personal connection

    is lost and the control is being put back in the hands of an initiate.

    And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,

    and with the blood of martyrs of JesusRev: 17:6

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    13/24

    Although the Roman Catholic Church proclaims its lineage from

    St. Peter after being delegated priesthood from Christ there is no

    actual biblical reference to this. There is also no biblical referenceto the papacy, worship / adoration of Mary (or the immaculate

    conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the

    assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptory and mediatory),

    petitioning saints in Heaven for their prayers, apostolic

    succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as

    sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest,

    purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church traditionand Scripture (gotquestions.org). This Roman universal church

    that claims its lineage from a Saint, and venerates their saints nowhas an awful lot of explaining to do with regards to there

    treatment of saints and apostles during the first five centuries after

    Christ death.

    Although the first rock on which the Catholic Church is said to be

    founded is St. Peter, it is the fault of Romanism that Peter wouldbe martyred. The ultimate responsibility for decreeing that

    Simon/Peter would die comes from the emperor Nero and thusfrom the Roman universal church itself.

    The next person to have their blood shed in the line of Christian

    martyrdom is St. Stephan. As described in Foxes Book of

    Martyrdom, which will herein be referenced as FBM; His death

    was occasioned by the faithful manner in which he preached theGospel to the betrayers and murderers of Christ. To such a degree

    of madness were they excited, that they cast him out of the cityand stoned him to death (FBM 2). This persecution would not

    end with Stephan and Luke describes that there was a great

    persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and that

    they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea

    and Samaria, except the apostles. About two thousand Christians,

    with Nicanor, one of the seven deacons, suffered martyrdom

    during the persecution that arose about Stephen (FBM 3).

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    14/24

    The Apostle Paul would also suffer death at the decree of emperor

    Nero Paul, the apostle, who before was called Saul, after his

    great travail and unspeakable labors in promoting the Gospel of

    Christ, suffered also in this first persecution under Nero. Abdias

    declareth that under his execution Nero sent two of his esquires,

    Ferega and Parthemius, to bring him word of his death (FBM 3).

    The Apostle John was killed also in the court of Rome Thebeloved disciple, was brother to James the Great. The churches

    of Smyrna, Pergamos, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, and

    Thyatira, were founded by him. From Ephesus he was ordered to

    be sent to Rome, where it is affirmed he was cast into a cauldronof boiling oil (FBM 4).

    The first persecution of the Church took place in the year 67,under Nero, the sixth emperor of Rome (FBM 5). After setting the

    city on fire claim to want to see destruction to all ends if his

    demise was to come the masses grew angry and he would blame

    the entire thing on the Christians. The persecution that followed

    would even receive the sympathy of the Romans as statedbarbarities exercised on the Christians were such as even excited

    the commiseration of the Romans themselves. Nero even refined

    upon cruelty, and contrived all manner of punishments for the

    Christians that the most infernal imagination could design. In

    particular, he had some sewed up in skins of wild beasts, and then

    worried by dogs until they expired; and others dressed in shirtsmade stiff with wax, fixed to axletrees, and set on fire in his

    gardens, in order to illuminate them. This persecution was generalthroughout the whole Roman Empire; but it rather increased than

    diminished the spirit of Christianity. In the course of it, St. Pauland St. Peter were martyred (FBM 5).

    The Second Persecution under Domitian in 81 A.D. would see

    again more cruel death and among the numerous martyrs that

    suffered during this persecution was Simeon, bishop of Jerusalem,

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    15/24

    who was crucified; and St. John, who was boiled in oil (FBM

    5).

    There would subsequently be 10 periods of persecution to come

    from the Roman emperors to be had on the Christians of the timethat would not end until Constantine would declare the Roman

    Empire a Christian empire and starting the Roman Catholic

    Church.

    The Third Persecution, Under Trajan, A.D. 108

    The Fourth Persecution, Under Marcus Aurelius Antonius,

    A.D. 162

    The cruelties used in this persecution were such that many of the

    spectators shuddered with horror at the sight, and were astonished

    at the intrepidity of the sufferers. Some of the martyrs were

    obliged to pass, with their already wounded feet, over thorns,

    nails, sharp shells, etc. upon their points, others were scourged

    until their sinews and veins lay bare, and after suffering the most

    excruciating tortures that could be devised, they were destroyedby the most terrible deaths(FBM 7).

    The Fifth Persecution, Commencing with Severus, A.D. 192

    The Sixth Persecution, Under Maximus, A.D. 235

    The Seventh Persecution, Under Decius, A.D. 249

    The Eighth Persecution, Under Valerian, A.D. 257

    The Ninth Persecution under Aurelian, A.D. 274

    The Tenth Persecution, Under Diocletian, A.D. 303

    These were the persecutions of the Roman Empire and some

    could say that this has little to do with the papacy but after the

    combining of the Christianity into the Roman Empire this

    16/24

    institution would later itself gain power and unleash persecutions

    of their own.

    In A.D. 1147 there would be a reformation movement coming

    from Henry of Toulouse and Ralph Waldo or Valdo of Lyons.They and their followers would be excommunicated andpersecuted because they would not admit of any proofs relative

    to religion, but what could be deduced from the Scripturesthemselves, the popish party gave them the name of apostolics. At

    length, Peter Waldo, or Valdo, a native of Lyons, eminent for his

    piety and learning, became a strenuous opposition of popery

    (FBM 31). This would be the beginning of Inquisition of yourfaith The proceedings of Waldo and the reformed, occasioned the

    first rise of the inquisitors; for Pope Innocent III authorized

    certain monks as inquisitors,(FBM 32).

    From this point on the Papacy would move forward much in this

    fashion toward anyone who would deny the papacy. For further

    reference to this see:

    The Bartholomew Massacre at Paris,

    The Persecution during the time of Queen Mary in England

    Persecutions of Martin Luther and John Calvin

    And if you search pretty much any European country and add

    persecution to you will find a form of papal inquisition attached to

    it.

    But at this point I would like to end and pick up in the 15th and

    16th century with the rise of the Opus Dei, Knights of Malta, and

    the Jesuit order and continue into modern era in Part 2.

    Romanism and the Harlot Church Pt.2The Popes Henchmen

    In thinking of these groups it would be beneficial to recall CarrollQuigleys book Evolution of Civilizations. In his first chapters he

    describes how institutions are created and eventually become a

    means by which to perpetuate their own sustainability and

    economic control. His analogy was how the college football teams

    started in the early 20th century as a means for college students to

    exercise but would eventually evolve into the advertised moneymaking machines that we see today where the goal is no longer

    exercise but rather to make money and gain more control over the

    industry that they have created. This is quite fitting and has stayed

    in my mind since the moment I read it. Although many groups

    like the Knights Hospitallers may have at one point started tobenefit the poor and downtrodden they have evolve and now serve

    only to perpetuate themselves and further the aims of the Vatican

    itself.

    As with all secret societies and initiated orders the top down

    hierarchy must have dupes and adepts to do their bidding with

    unquestioning certainty. The oldest order of the Vatican, aside

    from the priesthood itself, to inflict military and religioussubversion would have to be the Sovereign Military Hospitaller

    18/24

    Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and Malta, also

    broken down and referred to as the Order of St. John and more

    commonly The Knights of Malta. The order would first gain its

    more chivalric presence as the St. Johns of Jerusalem and the

    Knights Hospitaller which was founded in Jerusalem in 1050 A.D.

    to provide care and medical attention for poor and sick pilgrims.

    This group would gain its order from the Bull of Pascal Feb 3,

    1113. They would then be delegated as three distinct brotherhoods

    under this order:

    -The military brothers

    -The infirmary brothers

    -The Chaplin brothers

    This group would then recruit from the knights from the Crusades

    and gain separate stance as their own order able to set up hospitals

    and churches. They would set up as a military arm of the Vatican

    and help to fend off attacks in Tripoli, Cyprus, and Acre which

    they would eventually lose to the Turks in 1291. The order wouldmove to Rhodes were they would begin going under the name of

    the Knights of Rhodes until their fall to Salyman II in 1522. After

    facing defeat they would return to Europe and ask Charles V of

    Spain to give them Malta, which he did in 1530, thus the

    beginning of the Knights of Malta.

    Despite the orders most humbling of begins they have evolved

    into there own self perpetuating institution and along with theJesuits and Opus Dei would become a main antagonist in the way

    of world order. In the essence of saving time I will move things

    forward to more recent events and tactics by the Jesuits, Knights,and Opus Dei, remembering that they are all the same and all

    work toward the same goal a New World Order. (Cooper 86).

    It seems that the Vatican Popes from times passed were well

    aware of the infiltration of these orders to disrupt the world. In

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    19/24

    1738 Pope Clement XII issued a Papal Bull which stated that

    any Catholic who became a Mason would be excommunicated

    and in 1884 Pope Leo XIII issued a proclamation stating that

    Masonry was one of the secret societies attempting to revive the

    manners and customs of the pagan and establish Satans

    kingdom on Earth (Cooper 87). Seeing the influence and practice

    of such rituals within the church it would be safe to assume that

    the infiltration succeeded and is full being controlled by those

    who the Popes warned against. According the William CooperPope John Paul XXII is a member of the Illuminati. The best

    indication of infiltration is that on November 27, 1983, the Pope

    retracted all of the Papal Bulls against Freemasonry and allowedCatholics, after several hundred years, to again become membersof secret societies (Cooper 87).

    This being extremely dangerous because they are a sovereign

    military order that holds diplomatic relations with 104 countries,

    with numerous ambassadors. It issues its own passports, currency,stamps and even vehicle registration plates. The Sovereign

    Military Order of Malta has a permanent presence in 120countries, with 12 Grand Priories and Sub-Priories and 47 national

    Associations, as well as numerous hospitals, medical centers, day

    care centers, first aid corps, and specialist foundations, which

    operate in 120 countries. Its 13,000 members and 80,000

    volunteers and over 20,000 medical personneldoctors, nurses

    and paramedicsare dedicated to the care of the poor, the sick,

    the elderly, the disabled, the homeless, terminal patients, lepers,

    and all those who suffer. The Order is especially involved in

    helping victims of armed conflicts and natural disasters by

    providing medical assistance, caring for refugees, and distributing

    medicines and basic equipment for survival. (Wikipedia) They

    also hold their own seat within the United Nations. They can

    travel freely in and out of states without any repercussion for their

    action because of this diplomatic immunity. This also strikes as

    being very similar to the Red Cross and their flag is quite similaras well.

    This power was clearly used by the Vatican in the midst of World

    War II through their agents of Jesuits, Knights, and Priesthood to

    provide arms and curb dissent in Yugoslavia, Croatia, Austria, and

    countless other regions. They were helping to get the Fascist

    Catholic state in all of these regions. According to AvroManhatten in The Vatican Holocaust On April 7 the Yugoslav

    Government left Belgrade for Montenegro. Two days later, on

    April 9, Vladko Macek, its Vice-President, in his turn deserted it.

    Macek was a Croat, a Catholic, and the leader of the Catholic

    Croat Peasant Party. Yet this individual, while acting as the leader

    of that Party, and, indeed, as Vice-President of the Yugoslav

    Government, was simultaneously plotting with Fascist Italy forthe

    disintegration of his country. As early as 1939 Macek had, in fact,

    established contact with Mussolini, who had agreed to pay him 20

    million diners to finance his bold Separatist plotthat is, to

    destroy Yugoslavia in order to set up a Catholic Fascist State ofCroatia,(Manhatten 28). Avro Manhatten is himself a Knight of

    Malta and His aristocratic roots meant that he was a Knight ofthe House of Savoy as well as a Knight Templar and a Knight ofthe Order of Mercedes (Manhatten 3). This making him privy to

    knowledge that most other might not have.

    In 1941 they would not only help others to kill in a racist fashion

    by they themselves would spill the blood of thousands. In SerbiaThe Catholic Church did not leave the execution of a religious

    war to the secular arm, as she had done in similar circumstancesin bygone centuries. She came down into the fighting field, full

    tilt, shunning precautions and brandishing the sword against thosewhom she had decided to exterminate (Manhatten 65). Not only

    does Manhatten describe the helping of the Nazis in his book he

    also points out the completely racist elements of the Vatican itself.

    He would also go on to describe the little know fact that the

    ratlines set up for escaped Nazis were fully the doing of theVatican as well as some influence in the U.S. as is documented in

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    Project Paperclip. It only makes all too much sense that the

    Vatican played a role, as their members have the immunity and

    means by which to freely pass through countries, especially

    during war time, via the Knights of Malta and theirhumanitarian works.

    Avro Manhatten would also write a book entitled Vietnam: Why

    did We Go adding further to the chaos and confusion that was

    the Vietnam War he proclaims that it was also a Holy War that

    was started by the Vatican. The President Diem was a zealous

    Catholic who wanted to help with the extermination of none

    Catholics in his own country to make another Fascist/Catholicstate. In one quite disturbing story he explains:

    One day in early June, 1963, a 73 year old Buddhist monk namedThich Quang Duc stopped in a busy street in Saigon, the Capital

    City of South Vietnam, and, after having been soaked with

    gasoline by a fellow monk, sat down cross-legged; thereupon,

    having calmly struck a match, he burned himself to death.

    Prior to this, however, he had written a message to PresidentDiem: Enforce a policy of religious equality, the message read.

    President Diem, a zealous Catholic, gave a prompt response. He

    clamped martial law upon the city, sealed most of the pagodas,

    ordered his secret police force to arrest Buddhist leaders, and

    mobilized his troops to truncheon any Buddhist monk or any

    Buddhist crowds who dared to protest at his increasingdiscrimination against their religion.(Manhatten 196). It seems

    that it is an outright extermination policy towards those that wish

    to have religious freedoms and do not fall in line with the Catholicway of thinking, attempting to draw the world back in to dark

    ages of Monarchical rule through Vatican appeasement. During

    this time the Vatican would also formulate a direct link to

    Washington through John Foster Dulles When therefore, the

    Vietnam problem came increasingly to the fore both the Vatican

  • 8/2/2019 Romanism and the Harlot Church

    22/24

    and the U.S. focused their joint activities toward that country. The

    chief formulators of the strategy were Secretary of State John

    Foster Dulles in the diplomatic field, and Cardinal Spellman in the

    ecclesiastical. The importance of the latter was paramount, since

    Cardinal Spellman was the linchpin between Washington and theVatican.(Manhatten Vietnam 39).

    The old ways have not gone away they have just become better athiding and convincing people they are without ill intent reminding

    me of that old saying that the greatest deception ever pulled by the

    devil was convincing people he doesnt exist. Well there is a devil

    in the hearts and minds of people sick enough to follow suchludicrous ideologies.

    In 2007 Pope Benedict XVI made a decree denouncing allchurches built after the reformation to be none apostolic churches

    and in essence hold not status as a church. Quoted from theproverbial horses mouth himself:

    Why do the texts of the Council and those of the Magisteriumsince the Council not use the title of Church with regard to those

    Christian Communities born out of the Reformation of the

    sixteenth century?

    The response, which closes the decree, states,

    According to Catholic doctrine, these Communities do not enjoy

    apostolic succession in the sacrament of Orders, and are,

    therefore, deprived of a constitutive element of the Church. Theseecclesial Communities which, specifically because of the absence

    of the sacramental priesthood, have not preserved the genuine and

    integral substance of the Eucharistic Mystery cannot, according toCatholic doctrine, be called Churches in the proper

    sense.(Bennett 1).

    Thats correct folks all of you out there who are in a church where

    you worship at the altar of your choosing are officially not a

    church in the eyes of the insane God man Pope Benedict XVI.

    Some other notable figures within the Vaticans secret order ofdupes that have caused mayhem and infiltrated high level UnitedStates positions are the former head of the FBI, Louis Freeh,

    was a member of Opus Dei. And so, we now understand the Wacoincident, where those White Protestants were killed; it was the

    work of the Opus Dei. And we also have to remember that the

    sharpshooter, one of them there, was a Japanese Roman Catholic,

    Lon Horiuchi(Martin). Although there is conflicting reports onwhether Freeh was absolutely a member of Opus Dei there is no

    conflict in the fact that he was a devote Roman Catholic as well as

    the fact that he sent his kids to the According to The Bureau and

    the Mole, a book byDavid A. Vise, Freehs son was enrolled at

    the privateThe Heights SchoolinPotomac, Maryland, which Vise

    describes as an Opus Dei academy(Wikipedia). Lon Horiuchi

    also being a devote Catholic and the assassin who shot Vicki

    Weaver and was one of the snipers who was shooting at theBranch Dravidians as they exited a burning building. This man

    should have been executed for his role in these incidents but was

    somehow dismissed
