Vatican - News, Updates, Images & Quotes

The pope who ostensibly heads Catholicism from the Vatican ("Place of Sorcery") wears the Judaic regalia for a reason. The Lutheran priests and court magistrates and school teachers who adorn themselves in the long black robe of the rabbis also do so for a reason. Whether it is the tassel on the square "mortar board" headgear of graduates, or the many Christian festival holidays, or the symbols employed by Western royal families and their governments, the "Judaic" (Atonist) elements are evident.

When the new faith went forth to conquer the pagan world for the Messiah, the "pious" Greek fathers and priests of the burgeoning Catholic Church felt the need of something more up-to-date than the Old Testament texts; they needed something concrete out of the New Dispensation to "show" to the superstitious pagans to win them over to the Messiah and his church: something tangible, visible; compellingly authentic proofs. Like arms of proof for the holy warfare, the invincible weapons of truth...the whole armour of God...they forged outright for the conquest of the unbeliever.

— Joseph Wheless; Forgery in Christianity (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

The Catholic church, which so far has been the implacable enemy of all freedom of thought and has resolutely opposed any idea of this world being governed by advance toward the recognition of truth...Psychoanalytic research is in any case the subject of suspicious attention from Catholicism. I do not maintain that this suspicion is unmerited. If our research leads us to a result that reduces religion to the status of a neurosis of mankind and explains its grandiose powers in the same way as we should a neurotic obsession in our individual patients, then we may be sure we shall incur in this country the greatest resentment of the powers that be...violent methods of suppression are by no means alien to the Catholic church.

— Sigmund Freud; Moses and Monotheism (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

We insist that this Atonist doctrine was a key pylon in the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity. Although the earliest "Christian" sects sought to live humble spirit-focused lives as taught by their savior, and although they honored the apostolic tradition of poverty, the leviathan of the later Roman Church took a suggestively different course. The shameless decadence and arch-materialism of the Vatican stands out as further proof for their Atonist origins. The abandonment of all gods but one, the adoption of a theology of light, the denial of Underworld rituals and tradition, the lionization of an exceptional but short-lived leader, the heinous cruelty against adversaries, and chronic unbounded materialism, are the commonalities between Judaism, Catholicism, and Atonism. They are the hallmarks of all three.

Jesus, the sun king, was a concept known long before the rise of orthodox Christianity. The early religious groups that were aware fo this were eventually annihilated by emissaries of the Vatican.

When outraged reformers objected, one cardinal defended the practice [allowing murderers to buy pardons] on the ground that "the Lord desireth not the death of the sinner but rather that he live and pay."

It (the "Donation of Constantine") purported to recognize the Roman Popes as Christ’s representatives on Earth and to donate to Pope Sylvester and the Roman Church all those Imperial powers formerly invested in the Throne of Byzantium. The Donation, the Church claimed,was written in the 4th Century at the insistence of the Emperor Constantine The Church claimed Constantine was so grateful for having been cured of leprosy by Pope Sylvester that he gave to the Church the entire power and wealth of the unified Roman Empire, including the right to crown and dethrone kings...Supposedly written before 337 AD - the year of Constantine’s death - the Donation of Constantine didn’t make an appearance on the stage of European history until four-hundred years later. So far-reaching are the powers bestowed upon the Church by this document, one would have thought that it would have been made public at the time of its bestowal, not centuries later.

— Nicholas de Vere von Drakenberg; The Thousand-Year Elven Holocaust (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

The Emperor Constantine lived between 208 to 337 AD. After his vision he went on to issue the Edict of Milan, in 313 AD, which legalized Christianity throughout the Empire. Shortly thereafter, it became the fastest spreading religion. Constantine’s conversion to Christianity is still shrouded in mystery and led to the most famous forgery in European history, that which became known as the Donation of Constantine. This document purports to be a signed document by Constantine and its principal feature is to grant the bishop of Rome - the Pope - temporal authority over the city of Rome and the entire Roman Empire. Although there are many glaring factual errors in the text of the document, which by themselves show the document to be a forgery, the Donation of Constantine was accepted as genuine until the 15th Century, and was used by the Catholic Church to claim political power in not only the Roman Empire but also,ultimately, in all nominally Christian lands. Eventually, the Donation of Constantine was rejected as false - but by then the Church had established itself in almost all of Europe, its power founded on a forgery.

— Arthur Kemp; March of the Titans (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

During the early period of the Christian movement the multitude of often contradictory texts was so great that the young Church saw only one way of preserving the faith from splitting into numerous sects: assembling a canon of writings and destroying rejected apocryphal (hidden) texts.

— Elmer H. Gruber; The Original Jesus (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

In 1139 the Church began calling councils to condemn the Cathars and all who supported them. By 1179 Alexander III proclaimed a crusade against these enemies of the Church promising two years' indulgence, or freedom from punishment for sins, to all who would take up arms, and eternal salvation for any who would die...The savagery of the thirty-year-long attack decimated Langedoc. At the Cathedral of St. Nazair alone 12,000 people were killed. Bishop Folque of Toulouse put to death 10,000. When the crusaders fell upon the town of Beziers and the commanding legate, Arnaud, was asked how to distinguish Catholic from Cathar, he replied:"Kill them all, for God knows his own!" Not a child was spared...The Albigensian crusade killed an estimated one million people, not only Cathars but much of the population of southern France.

The Church did not want the teachings of the Gnostics to be studied. They knew only too well that Gnosticism was nothing more or less than Egyptian religion. It was the faint echo of the theologies of Egypt mixed with many other religious and spiritual traditions commonly found in Hellenistic Alexandria long after the great dynasties had passed into oblivion. They do not want it known that the Gnostics themselves were a later offshoot of the more ancient Solar and Lunar Cults that had their roots in the Stellar Cults of Egypt and Ireland. And they did not want it known how the Gnosticism of the Egyptians had influenced their religion and bible.

The term Krist (or Karast) was a title commonly bestowed by the Essenes to denote one of their excellent or special initiates who had passed through extraordinary trials and who held high status and rank. It was not a personal name. The Essenes are known to have referred to themselves as "the Elect" or as "Sons of Light." Masters of high caliber were known as the "Star." This is clearly an astrological title. Paintings have been discovered of priests with star-shaped diadems upon their foreheads. The very word minister contains the syllables for moon (min) and star (ster). We can perhaps understand now why the Vatican did not want the Dead Sea Scrolls, and other presumably Essenic scriptures, to be found, translated, published, and commonly read. The Vatican did not want any record or mention of lineages of "Christed" men. They wished the world to believe their Jesus to be unique in every way. The literature and traditions that contradicted this policy were to be sequestered or destroyed. Cults or sects that preached the contrary were to be condemned and persecuted as heretics. Interestingly, this word simply meant "those who choose."

The most fantastic and yet psychically tranquilizing of these promises concerns a man's fate in the afterlife. If he performs his duties well in this life he may inherit good things after he dies. His sins will be forgiven and his soul will be at rest for eternity. If he rebels and does not perform his assigned tasks he will perish and be eternally damned. Promises were the business of the Church, and they still are. In this regard nothing has changed. They were in fashion then and they are in fashion now. It is by way of this reward contract that the church has slowly but effectively molded men into obedient slaves. This crafty tactic has even served to quell the Spirit of Rebellion in many men. Yes, one cannot think of a more successful stratagem than the promise.

The [Roman Catholic] Church burned enormous amounts of literature. In 391 Christians burned down one of the world's greatest libraries in Alexandria, said to have housed 700,000 rolls. All the books of the Gnostic Basilides, Porphyry's 36 volumes, papyrus rolls of 27 schools of the Mysteries, and 270,000 ancient documents gathered by Ptolemy Philadelphus were burned. Ancient academies of learning were closed. Education for anyone outside of the Church came to an end.

— Helen Ellerbe; The Dark Side of Christian History (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

Every science was regarded as an outcast, an enemy. Every fact held the creed of the [Roman Catholic] church in scorn. Investigators were enemies in disguise. Thinkers were traitors, and the church exerted its vast power for centuries to prevent the intellectual progress of man. There was no liberty, no education, no philosophy, no science; nothing but credulity, ignorance, and superstition. The world was really under the control of Satan and his agents. The church, for the purpose of increasing her power, exhausted every means to convince the people of the existence of witches, devils, and fiends. In this way the church had every enemy within her power. She simply had to charge him with being a wizard, of holding communication with devils, and the ignorant mob was ready to tear him to pieces.

— Robert G. Ingersoll; The Great Infidels (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

The state of learning on the continent of Europe at that time, wherever the influence of the Roman Church was dominant, was at a very low state or non-existent. It was only in the monastic establishments maintained at different points on the continent by the monks of the Irish Church that learned men were to be found. There were practically no learned men in the Roman Church at that time. Even a century later when the Emperor Charlemagne espoused the cause of the Roman Church, he had to get Irish schoolmen for instructors to teach in the palace school which he established.

Ignorance was helpful to the spread of the faith; so ignorance was fostered. Richard Payne Knight, in his book, A Discourse on the Worship of Priapus, says, "Men are superstitious in proportion as they are ignorant, and ... those who know least of the principles of religion are the most earnest and fervent." In keeping western Europe as ignorant as possible, however, the church lost much of its history. Even contemporary events went inaccurately reported, or altogether unnoted. Events of the past were absurdly garbled. All the public knew of history was provided by bards, who tried to maintain the druidic tradition of rote-learning, with indifferent success.

— Barbara G. Walker; The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets view

Fathers of the church seemed cynically aware that public ignorance worked in their favor. Gregory of Nazianzus wrote to St. Jerome thus: "A little jargon is all that is necessary to impose upon the people. The less they comprehend, the more they admire. Our forefathers and doctors have often said, not what they thought, but what circumstances and necessity dictated."

The greatest travesty perpetrated by the destroyers of the Irish Church was the obliteration of the central tenet of all Druidic teaching concerning the sanctity of the self. The doctrine of selfhood was the number one greatest threat to the Roman Church.

Technology disappeared as the Church became the most cohesive power in Western society. The extensive aqueducts and plumbing systems vanished. Orthodox Christians taught that all aspects of the flesh should be reviled and therefore discouraged washing as much as possible. Disease became commonplace as sanitation and hygiene deteriorated. For hundreds of years, towns and villages were decimated by epidemics. Roman central heating were also abandoned

After Christians had spent years destroying books and libraries, St. John Chrysostom, the pre-eminent Greek Father of the Church, proudly declared, "Every trace of the old philosophy and literature of the ancient world has vanished from the face of the earth"

The Roman Church, in her endeavor to blot out the history of the past ages in order to conceal a great deception, destroyed whatever she may have had of literature, and since her acquisition of the Irish Church and institutions, she has appropriated the name and works of Irish authors to enrich her reputation for learning and culture and to build up a fictitious galaxy of distinguished sons to ornament her escutcheon

The story of the Roman Church is quite different and not a pleasant one to dwell upon. She made her advance through the medium of intrigue, war, fire and sword, persecution, torture, confiscations, and death, the exemplification of force and intolerance. By such means she gained control and increase in power and the Irish Church missionaries were gradually forced to withdraw from the continent. It was only by such forcible means that she could make gains against the Irish Church whose representatives surpassed hers in every field of peaceful endeavor...in learning, the sciences, philosophy and spiritual culture

The Roman Church was not at all happy when Columbus relentlessly began petitioning the royals of Spain and England for their favor, and when he was searching for funding for his Western expeditions. At first they tried to dissuade him but later, fearing he would find patronage and proceed with his venture, they conceded and financially backed his journey of discovery, making sure to put their henchmen all about him to watch his every move. They knew, all too well, that America had already been colonized by Irish mariners and that the far away country contained Irish stellar temples and megalithic sites filled with treasure. They had their minds set on pillaging this wealth, and making sure that the relics of Ireland's presence in the New World would be attributed to, and regarded as, yet another "unsolvable mystery."

The desire of the Vatican mythographers was to falsely situate the seat of culture in the Middle-East and as far away from the Atlantic zone as possible.

The institution of the Holy Roman Emperor, founded by Charlemagne in 800, was built on the ideal of a world leader who with the Pope's blessing held Christendom together and defended the faith. This ideal was shining less brightly by the beginning of the seventeenth century. No Holy Roman Emperor had been crowned between 1530 and Rudolf II's coronation in 1576, and many of the small kingdoms and princedoms of Germany had become Protestant, which naturally undermined any notion of a Europe united under a Roman Emperor.

The world's greatest library of occult literature is to be found in the Vatican. The Church has never believed that the occult sciences do not work. It has only sought to keep exclusive control of them.

The Church grew in power and wealth. It wanted to be the sole keeper of the keys to the Kingdom. The Church had earlier emphasized that an individual has but one life by suppressing teachings on reincarnation and had emphasized one god by suppressing knowledge of its astronomical roots. Now it emphasized the unity of the disembodied parts of the human being. In 869 at the Eighth Ecumenical Council, the Church effectively closed the door to the spirit worlds by abolishing the ancient distinction between the vegetable dimension of the soul and the animal dimension of the spirit. Soul and spirit were declared to be the same thing, and the result of this was that the spirit worlds, formerly encountered in the Mass, would come to seem an empty abstraction.

Experience of the spirit worlds was replaced by dogma to be accepted on authority.

— Mark Booth; The Secret History of the World view

It is too easy to see the church as the evil repressor of free thought and to romanticize outlawed groups and antinomian schools like the Neoplatonists and the Gnostics. From its early history the Church has numbered among its leaders practitioners of black magic and other initiates who have abused their supernatural powers for selfish ends. But it is equally true - and perhaps more important - to say that from the time of St Paul and St Augustine the greatest Church leaders have been initiates of the highest order who have sought to guide humanity according to the divine plan outlined in this book. They knew that it was necessary for any understanding of reincarnation to be suppressed in the West. According to the cosmic plan, the West was to be the cradle for the developing sense of the value of an individual human life.

It has rarely been revealed that the Vatican (one of the most truly Satanic edifices in mankind’s history) has spent literally billions of dollars to give mankind a false notion of Magic and the Black Arts. Their efforts and expenditure go into the making and purveying of popular music and movies which are exploitative and gratuitous and which generate deviant messages about the nature of Satanism. The famous black and white classic horror movies (Dracula, The Mummy, The Werewolf, and Invisible Man, etc.), the “B” movies of the 50s and 60s, and the “slasher” or “occult” movies (The Exorcist, Friday 13th, Halloween, Evil Dead, Poltergeist, The Shining, etc.,) of more recent times, are perfect examples of their artifice. Along with certain popular genres of music which have occult themes and imagery (which may appear anti-Christian), these films and their creators are, in actual fact, surreptitiously funded by the Vatican (also by the Jesuits and the Illuminati) via the record companies, marketing agents, and publicity houses. There is a reason why the pop icon Madonna, for instance, has this moniker and why she constantly displays the cross or crucifix. It is why the imagery in her videos is of the type it is and why she is so personally wealthy. It has to do with whom she and her promoters serve. The same goes for the Rolling Stones (listen to Sympathy for the Devil, 200 Light Years from Home, Midnight Rambler, Paint It Black, Goat's Head Soup, Their Satanic Majesty's Request, etc.,) the Beatles, and the Grateful Dead. And these are but three examples of thousands. The public would be shocked to their core if they were to find out the facts about this particular study and about what has been infiltrated into their minds and the minds of their young.

The Vatican used "Jews" as a smokescreen for their money lending as usury (demanding in return for a loan a greater amount than borrowed) was prohibited by the early church. This way, the popes could continue to act pious and let the Jews take the rap for the loan sharking. The Rothschild is the banker of the Vatican up to present.

The Illi theocracy went underground during the Roman ascendancy. For about three hundred years Christians were persecuted, churches were held in secrecy. But when Constantine was converted, supposedly by a miracle in which he saw a vision in the sky, the Christian Church came out of hiding and took open secular control in Rome. All the Oracles simultaneously ceased to speak: Christ's words were fulfilled. Power had shifted to the control of the Emperor. The Pope took to himself the prerogative of crowning kings. At this point Christian Scientists claim that the power of healing was lost to the Christians. As worldly power was gained, spiritual power was lost.

Now, incidentally, it is interesting as to why the ancients believed that God was a father, because in the most ancient world they associated the creation of the humans, the creation on the Earth, with the Mother.

The Vatican is a country unto itself. A very powerful country, politically speaking. Heads of State from all over the world come to the Vatican to pay homage to the Papacy.

Reagan's next official act was to travel to Europe, at least three times, to meet in private with the Pope.

Christ set up a ceremony called the Eucharist with 72 disciples as a symbol for taking total control of a double Shar-twice the 3600-year orbit of Nibiru. By using Anunnaki symbols, everything he established was absorbed right into the Roman Empire, like cosmic keys into locks. Next, Anu selected the Holy Roman Catholic Church as his personal device for ruling the planet. Rome would fall eventually, but an official Church organized around Christ would prevail, since humans are most easily manipulated by means of religion. Anu never had had such a big project. The Roman Catholic Church would be the next official Anunnaki establishment. To accomplish this, all its priests would have to be celibate, based on the premise that Christ was celibate. Women would have to be disempowered, and the Eucharist would be celebrated by male priests who had never entered a woman. All knowledge of multi-lifetimes would have to be erased so that people would learn to be terrified of death, and fear of death would limit multidimensional contact. This would offer the Anunnaki total dominion of Earth and prevent multidimensional access to humans. All humans would be locked in 3D so that the Anunnaki would not get foiled the next time they orbited back into the solar system in 3600 A.D. This was a dark hour on Earth-the imposition of the Net-and its energy first came over the planet when a terrible thunderstorm wreaked havoc in Jerusalem when Christ died on the cross.

Prior to the Christian Era seven hundred thousand of the most valuable books, written upon parchment, papyrus, vellum, and wax, and also tablets of stone, terra cotta, and wood, were gathered from all parts of the ancient world and housed in Alexandria, in buildings specially prepared for the purpose. This magnificent repository of knowledge was destroyed by a series of three fires. The parts that escaped the conflagration lighted by Cæsar to destroy the fleet in the harbor were destroyed about A.D. 389 by the Christians in obedience to the edict of Theodosius, who had ordered the destruction of the Serapeum, a building sacred to Serapis in which the volumes were kept.

After the decline of the Western Empire, the torment was continued by the emergent Church of Rome, despite appeals from the family who promoted the opposing Nazarene Church of Jesus. They constantly denounced the Roman interpretations of the Virgin Birth and Resurrection, claiming that religion was to be found in the teachings of Jesus - not in the veneration of his person. Furthermore, they pronounced the Apostolic Succession of the Bishops of Rome to be a fraud, since it was claimed to have been handed down from Peter, the first Bishop of Rome. But Peter never held such an office in Rome or anywhere else. This is confirmed in the Church's own Apostolic Constitutions, which state that the first Bishop of Rome was Britain's Prince Linus (son of Caractacus the Pendragon), who was appointed by St Paul in AD 58, during Peter's lifetime.

We are determined, like you, to take possession of the United States and rule them; but we cannot do that without acting secretly and with the utmost wisdom. If our plans are known, they will surely be defeated. What does a skillful general do when he wants to conquer a country? Does he scatter his soldiers over the farm lands, and spend their energy and power in ploughing the fields and sowing grain? No! he keeps them well united around his banners, and marches at their head, to the conquest of the strongholds, the rich and powerful cities. The farming countries then submit and become the price of his victory without moving a finger to subdue them. So it is with us. Silently and patiently, we must mass our Roman Catholics in the great cities of the United States, remembering that the vote of a poor journeyman, though he be covered with rags, has as much weight in the scale of power as the millionaire Astor, and that if we have two votes against his one, he will become as powerless as an oyster. Let us then multiply our votes;; let us call our poor but faithful Irish Catholics from every corner of the world, and gather them into the very hearts of those proud citadels which the Yankees are so rapidly building under the names of Washington, New York, Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, Albany, Troy, Cincinnati, ect. Under the shadows of those great cities, the Americans consider themselves a giant and unconquerable race. They look upon the poor Irish Catholic people with supreme contempt, as only fit to dig their canals, sweep their streets and work in their kitchens. Let no one awake those sleeping lions, today. Let up pray God that they may sleep and dream their sweet dreams, a few years more. How sad will their awakening be, when with our out-numbering votes, we will turn them for ever, from every position of honour, power and profit! What will those hypocritical and godless sons and daughters of the fanatical Pilgrim Fathers say, when not a single judge, not a single teacher, not a single policeman, will be elected if he be not a devoted Irish Roman Catholic? What will those so-called giants think of their matchless shrewdness and ability, when not a single Senator or member of congress will be chosen, if he be not submitted to our holy father the Pope! What a sad figure those Protestant Yankees will cut when we will not only elect the President, but fill and command the armies, man the navies and hold the keys of the public treasury? It will then be time for our faithful Irish people to give up their grog shops, in order to become the judges and governors of the land. Then, our poor and humble mechanics will leave their damp ditches and muddy streets, to rule the cities in all their departments, for the stately mansion of Mayor to the more humble, though not less noble position of teacher.

Then, yes! then, we will rule the United States, and lay them at the feet of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, that he may put an end to their godless system of education, and impious laws of liberty of conscience which are an insult to God and man!

Yet Christianity has been used quite brilliantly as the major vehicle for removing vital knowledge from the public domain. Whenever Christianity and other religions took control of a country or region, the ancient texts and records were removed or destroyed. This took out of circulation the very knowledge the reptilians have used and still use to manipulate an ignorant population. It was also in the name of Christianity that most of the accounts of the true history of humankind have been destroyed, along with knowledge of the influence on human affairs of extraterrestrial races, positive and negative. This allowed an alternative invented ‘history’ to be written which has delinked humanity from its origins. Controlling history is so important because if you manipulate how people see what we call the past, you will influence massively how they see the present.

— Thomas Paine; quoted by Joseph Lewis in Inspiration and Wisdom from the Writings of Thomas Paine view

The Vatican is the storehouse of an immense number of ancient manuscripts. During the long interval of nearly 1,500 years they have been accumulating, from trial after trial, books and manuscripts confiscated from their sentenced victims, to their own profit. The Catholics may plead that the books were generally committed to the flames; that the treatises of famous sorcerers and enchanters perished with their accursed authors. But the Vatican, if it could speak, could tell a different story. It knows too well of the existence of certain closets and rooms, access to which is had but by the very few. It knows that the entrances to these secret hiding-places are so cleverly concealed from sight in the carved frame-work and under the profuse ornamentation of the library-walls, that there have even been Popes who lived and died within the precincts of the palace without ever suspecting their existence...

...When one has such treasures at hand - original manuscripts, papyri, and books pillaged from the richest libraries; old treatises an magic and alchemy; and records of all the trials for witchcraft, and sentences for the same to rack, stake, and torture, it is mighty easy to write volumes of accusations against the Devil. We affirm on good grounds that there are hundreds of the most valuable works on the occult sciences, which are sentenced to eternal concealment from the public, but are attentively read and studied by the privileged who have access to the Vatican Library
