The New Inquisition

"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me." John 15:20-21 KJV

Could there possibly be any tie as to why the Nazi Party of Adolf Hitler used the same standards of the Ancient Roman Empire that was responsible for deaths of countless numbers of Bible Believing Christians?       

'And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus…'  Revelation 17:6

"There is irrefutable evidence that the Roman Institution is drunk on the blood of the saints. The Holy Roman Catholic Church during the Inquisition killed 60,000,000 people!...

Since its inception, the Catholic Church has seen the Jews as rebels against God Almighty and Christ killers, even though it was Rome itself that put the Lord Jesus to death. During the Holocaust in the early part of the 20th Century, Hitler’s Third Reich exterminated 6 million Jews. While this slaughter was occurring, the Catholic Church was deftly silent!

When Adolf Hitler died on May 3^rd 1945, the newspapers in Spain under the dictator Franco published the following:

'"Adolf Hitler, son of the Catholic Church, died while defending Christianity." It goes on to say, "Over his mortal remains stands his victorious moral figure. With the palm of the martyr, God gives Hitler the laurels of victory."' ^[1]

Hitler learned much from how the Catholic Church conducted itself during the Spanish Inquisition. Those guilty of heresy (many of which were Jews) were required to wear robes with a yellow 'X' across the front and back. Under the reign of Hitler, Jews were required to wear a yellow Star of David.

Hitler admitted that the Jesuits were of great importance to him.

'I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits. Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, then the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party.'^[2]          

The Jesuits were the role model for Hitler’s infamous S.S.

'The S.S. organization had been constituted by [General] Himmler according to the principles of the Jesuit Order.'^[3]

'The Third Reich is the first world power which not only acknowledges but also puts into practice the high principles of the papacy.'^[4]"

"Blinded by the Sun", pp. 269; 273-274

   On April 14, 2005 the man known as "God's Rottweiler" and "God's Panzer" was elected the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church. The former cardinal Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI was once a member of Hitler's youth corp; thugs called brown shirts. In modern day English they are called "gang bangers". Although there is evidence that he was forced to join, there is still reason to believe that he has not been forthcoming about his involvement. He claims he resisited joining, but as history shows; those that resisited Hitler often met with dire or completely fatal consequences. The Ratzinger's did not have to endure much for their "resistance" to Der Fuehrer. Being labeled "God's Panzer" is also in itself quite interesting. The Panzer tanks were Hitler's backbone of the mechanized army of the Third Reich during World War II. Allowing himself to be associated with them absolutely identifies Ratzinger with the greatest mass murderer of the 20th Century.

   Before being elected Pontiff, Josef Ratzinger was appointed by Pope John Paul II to be the head of the "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith". Formally known as the "Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition", this was the entitiy responsible for the deaths of millions of Bible believing Christians and anyone else that stood in the way of Catholic world domination during the great Inquisition.

   The Roman hierarchy has learned that they need to put a new face on occasionally to give the impression that they are changing. According to the Official website of the Vatican, the history of the office is as follows:

"CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH

Founded in 1542 by Pope Paul III with the Constitution 'Licet ab initio,' the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was originally called the Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition as its duty was to defend the Church from heresy. It is the oldest of the Curia's nine congregations.

The only curial organism which is older is the Secretariat of State, whose forerunner, the Apostolic Secretariat, was created by Innocent VIII on December 31, 1487, with the Constitution 'Non debet reprehensibile.'

Pope St. Pius X in 1908 changed the name to the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office. It received its current name in 1965 with Pope Paul VI. Today, according to Article 48 of the Apostolic Constitution on the Roman Curia, 'Pastor Bonus', promulgated by the Holy Father John Paul II on June 28, 1988, the duty proper to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is to promote and safeguard the doctrine on the faith and morals throughout the Catholic world: for this reason everything which in any way touches such matter falls within its competence." (emphasis mine)

  Is there a difference in the old "Sacred Congregation of the Inquisition" compared the new and improved version? If history reveals anything about the Catholic Church it is that it NEVER changes!

"Since 1968, the cardinal head of the dicastery (a court of justice) has borne the title of full Prefect. There are usually ten other cardinals on the Congregation, as well as a prelate and two assisants, all chosen from the Dominican Order." Wikipedia, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregation_for_the_Doctrine_of_the_Faith

    The Dominicans were the Order of the Roman Institution that carried out most of the atrocities commited in the name of "Mother Church". Named after a self-mutilating monk (Saint Dominic), they were (and continue to be) the enforcers of Papal doctrine. It is no wonder that Pope John Paul II wanted a Catholic hardliner like Ratzinger to be head of this office. His desire was to restore the temporal power of the papacy to it's former stature, and he needed someone to keep everyone in line. John Paul II was also completely devoted to the Virgin Mary of the Roman Institution. The Rosary is an intricate part of goddess worship within Catholicism and Dominic was instrumental in it being made a part of canon.

As detailed in "Blinded by the Sun"; the account of Dominic is most revealing.

"The Rosary is not found in scripture, but Catholic legend states that a lone friar named Dominic received it directly from a vision of the Blessed Virgin.

'We know from his biographers that St. Dominic had a great devotion to the Mother of God.'¹

This legendary father of the Rosary was the also the founder of the Dominican Order of Monks. During the Inquisition, the Dominicans carried out some of the most abominable atrocities against True believers in Christ that the world has ever seen.

However, the validity of the claim concerning Dominic has come into question even by those within the Roman Institution that verifies instances such as these.

'We do not have any historical documents dating from that period expressly referring to St. Dominic and the Rosary.'²

'The tradition of St. Dominic and the Rosary was more or less universally accepted, especially in documents of many popes, until the work of the Bollandists in the l7th century…This group concluded that there was not sufficient evidence to support the tradition of St. Dominic and the Rosary…'³ 

Like those that crawl on their knees [to statues of the Virgin] or allow themselves to be hung on a cross [as is the case in the Philippines], this man received the revelation of the rosary after severely brutalizing himself. He was afflicting himself because of his concern for a little known sect that rejected papal authority.

'I will tell you the story of how he received it, which is found in the very well-known book De Dignitate Psalterii, by Blessed Alan de la Roche. Saint Dominic, seeing that the gravity of people's sins was hindering the conversion of the Albigensians, withdrew into a forest near Toulouse, where he prayed continuously for three days and three nights. During this time he did nothing but weep and do harsh penances in order to appease the anger of God. He used his discipline so much that his body was lacerated, and finally he fell into a coma. At this point our Lady appeared to him, accompanied by three angels, and she said, "Dear Dominic, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world?" "Oh, my Lady," answered Saint Dominic, "you know far better than I do, because next to your Son Jesus Christ you have always been the chief instrument of our salvation."'⁴ (emphasis mine)

The Blessed Virgin of the Roman Church told this man the Rosary was the foundation stone of the New Testament!

'Then our Lady replied, "I want you to know that, in this kind of warfare, the principal weapon has always been the Angelic Psalter, which is the foundation-stone of the New Testament. Therefore, if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter (the Rosary).’”⁵ (emphasis mine)

This very statement casts a shadow of suspicion on the vision. The Apostle Paul never referred to the Rosary in any of his letters and every true follower of God knows that Jesus Christ is the Foundation Stone of the New Testament!

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." Ephesians 2:19-22 KJV (emphasis mine)

 According to the Catholic Dominican Fathers who run the Headquarters of the Rosary Confraternity, there are very specific promises that the Roman goddess has pledged to those that are faithful in reciting the Rosary. However, not one claim made by the Blessed Virgin of the Roman Catholic Church concerning these prayers can be found in scripture.

FIFTEEN PROMISES OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
TO CHRISTIANS WHO FAITHFULLY PRAY THE ROSARY

1.   To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces.

2.   Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive some special grace.

3.   The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and dispel heresy.

4.   The Rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5.   Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish.

6.   Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on the mysteries, shall  never be overwhelmed by misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in grace and merit eternal life.

7.   Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

8.   Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed.

9.   I will deliver promptly from purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary.

10. True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven.

11. What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.

12. To those who propagate my Rosary I promise aid in all their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have as their intercessors, in life and in death, the entire celestial court.

14. Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination.

Like the visions concerning the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the papacy has turned a blind eye to the truth concerning Dominic, which should also lend considerable doubt about the validity of the Rosary itself. Especially to it’s being of Christian origin.

'Yet, it appears that this argument of silence put forth by the Bollandists did not seem to outweigh (in the mind of succeeding Popes) the impact of the centuries-old tradition concerning St. Dominic and the Rosary; for Popes coming after the 17th century continued to refer to St. Dominic in connection with the beginnings of the Rosary.'⁶

For centuries popes have used the Rosary to exalt the Catholic goddess above the Lord Jesus Christ.

'Whoever spreads the Rosary is saved!' 

Pope John Paul II⁷

'Spread the Rosary, the prayer so dear to the Virgin and so esteemed by popes…The Rosary puts all who have trust in it into communication with Our Lady.'

Pope Paul VI⁸

'The Rosary elevates minds to the truths reveled by God and shows us Heaven opened. The Virgin Mary Herself has insistently recommended this manner of praying. All Graces are conceded to us by God through the hands of Mary.'

Pope Pius XI⁹

'The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying.'

Pope Leo XIII¹⁰

The prayers surrounding the Rosary never change and faithful Catholics are encouraged to pray the Rosary many times a day. This is an admittedly repetitious prayer.

'The rosary employs repetition…'¹¹

However godly the rosary appears to be, or is claimed to be; the Word of God does not condone this type of repetitious prayer. The Bible equates these kinds of prayers with heathenism.

In teaching people how to pray, the Lord Jesus said:

'But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.'  Matthew 6:7-8 KJV (emphasis mine)

The continual recitation of the Hail Mary and the Rosary more closely resembles the worship of Diana, goddess of the Ephesians, than it does prayer as set forth in the Word of God.

'…all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.' Acts 19:34 KJV"

 "Blinded by the Sun"; pp. 80-84

  Some notes of point concerning Pope Benedict XVI.

Popes usually pick the name they associate with from former pontiffs. According to New Advent, the Catholic encyclopedia online:

Benedict VII had his predecessor, Benedict VI assassinated! He had him strangled so he could sit on the "throne of Peter."

Benedict X is called an "antipope" because he had a false claim to the papacy. 

   Of course the leaders of heretical harlotry came out in force after the demise of John Paul II and the election of Ratzinger. On TBN (Total Blasphemy Network) the Judas of the airwaves, Paul Crouch, waxed elequently about his departed brother the pope of Rome while taping a "Behind the Scenes" episode. During the recent Rip-off-a-thon (what Paul Crouch calls a Praise-a-thon) these statements were made:

"Benny [Hinn] and I both had the honor of meeting his holiness Pope John Paul II...he was a great, great, great soul and we've lost a great man and a great moral force in the world today...tremendous man of God!" (emphasis mine) (Paul Crouch, TBN Praise-a-thon, April 5, 2005)

   And what was Hinn's response to Crouch's laudations over the dead pontiff?

"Well, Paul we do honor him. Because God used him powerfully to open the Eastern Bloc nations for the gospel. So thank God for him! And now we pray that God would lead these cardinals in the choice for the next pope - that he would also carry on the work." (emphasis mine) Benny Hinn, TBN Praise a thon, April 5, 2005

   The ever popular false prophet Billy Graham had this to say concerning Pope John Paul II:

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (ANS) -- Speaking on the April 2 edition of CNN's Larry King Live program Dr. Billy Graham said that that Pope John Paul II was the most influential voice for morality and peace in the world in the last 100 years.

Dr. Graham told Larry King he had the privilege of seeing the Pope on several occasions at the Vatican.

"And tonight, I have a very strange feeling of loss. I almost feel as though one of my family members has gone. I loved him very much and had the opportunity of discussing so many things with him. And we wrote each other several times during the years," Dr. Graham said.

Larry King asked Dr. Graham: "Did he actually say to you once, 'We are brothers' "?

GRAHAM: That's correct. He certainly did. He held my hand the first time that I met him about 1981 -- he'd just been Pope for two years when I saw him first." (emphasis mine) Billy Graham: Pope John Paul II Was "Most Influential Voice" in 100 Years cbn.com

   Noted ecumenist and President of CBN Pat Robertson threw his 2 cents in as well.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 02, 2005 -- I am deeply grieved as a great man passes from this world to his much deserved eternal reward. John Paul II has been the most beloved religious leader of our age – far surpassing in popular admiration the leader of any faith...I pray for the Cardinals of the Catholic Church that they might have God-given wisdom in selecting the successor to this great man. Their task will not be easy, but with God all things are possible. Pat Robertson Comments on Pope John Paul II's Passing cbn.com

   A related article published on Catholic News had this to say:

Anglicans Talk of Unity With Rome?

The Archbishop of Canterbury has signalled that the rift between Anglicans and Catholics stemming from the Reformation could finally be healed, following the reconciliation between the churches during the reign of John Paul II.

A London Times report published in The Australian today says that as cardinals prepare to elect a new pope, Rowan Williams, the first Archbishop of Canterbury to attend a pope's funeral, said "the roots we have put down in recent years are far too deep to uproot".

Dr Williams, who sat in the front row opposite the papal coffin at last Friday's funeral, said: "It seemed to me absolutely natural that the Archbishop of Canterbury should come to share the prayers, hopes, grief and thanksgiving of our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters."

Dr Williams said that although the breach with Rome -- dating to the 16th century Reformation, which aimed to reform the Catholic Church and resulted in the establishment of the Protestant churches -- was "not yet at an end", there had been an irreversible reconciliation between Anglicans and Catholics during the reign of John Paul II for his successor to build on.

Bishop John Flack, the Archbishop of Canterbury's representative in Rome, said that "when John Paul II became pope 27 years ago, many Anglicans would not have accepted that he was the leader of all Christians" Catholic News online http://www.cathnews.com/news/504/66.php

   So, where does that leave the Body of Christ? The religious leaders of our day have hopped into the bed of harlotry with the Roman Catholic Institution. Through the Ecumenical Movement, Christians have been lulled into a sense of false peace. Paul Crouch once proclaimed, "I am erasing the word Protestant out of my vocabulary, I'm not protesting anything"! Apparently, courtesy of TBN, CBN, Billy Graham, Crouch, Hinn, Robertson et al. the Christian Church has taken upon itself the same mantle.

    An old saying goes; "Those that don't learn from history are destined to repeat it." In the 1500's during the Reformation, the Roman Catholic Institution made the same gestures we have seen take place since the implementation of Vatican II.

   We would do well to take to heart what happened in 1572!

An Eyewitness Account of the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre
by François Dubois
From the Musée Cantonal Des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne Switzerland

August 24, 1572, was the date of the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in France. On that day, over 400 years ago, began one of the most horrifying holocausts in history. The glorious Reformation, begun in Germany on October 31, 1517, had spread to France—and was joyfully received. A great change had come over the people as industry and learning began to flourish, and so rapidly did the Truth spread that over a third of the population embraced the Reformed Christian Faith.

However, alarm bells began to ring at the Vatican! France was her eldest daughter and main pillar—the chief source of money and power . . . King Pepin of the Franks (the father of Charlemagne) had given the Papal States to the Pope almost 1000 years earlier. Almost half the real estate in the country was owned by the clergy.

Meanwhile, back in Paris, the King of France and his Court spent their time drinking, reveling and carousing. The Court spiritual adviser—a Jesuit priest—  urged them to massacre the Protestants—as penance for their many sins! To catch the Christians off-guard every token of peace, friendship, and ecumenical good will was offered.

Suddenly—and without warning—the devilish work commenced. Beginning at Paris, the French soldiers and the Roman Catholic clergy fell upon the unarmed people, and blood flowed like a river throughout the entire country. Men, women, and children fell in heaps before the mobs and the bloodthirsty troops. In one week, almost 100,100 Protestants perished. The rivers of France were so filled with corpses that for many months no fish were eaten. In the valley of the Loire, wolves came down from the hills to feed upon the decaying bodies of Frenchmen. The list of massacres was as endless as the list of the dead!

Many were imprisoned—many sent as slaves to row the King's ships—and some were able to escape to other countries. . . . The massacres continued for centuries. The best and brightest people fled to Germany, Switzerland, England, Ireland and eventually America and brought their incomparable manufacturing skills with them. . . . France was ruined. . . . Wars, famine, disease and poverty finally led to the French Revolution—the Guillotine—the Reign of Terror—the fall of the Roman Catholic Monarchy—atheism—communism etc., etc.

When news of the Massacre reached the Vatican there was jubilation! Cannons roared—bells rung—and a special commemorative medal was struck—to honor the occasion! The Pope commissioned Italian artist Vasari to paint a mural of the Massacre—which still hangs in the Vatican! 

   The Holy Roman Catholic Institution believes:

...that it is the only true Christian Church!

...that for someone to be truly saved, they must be subject to the Pope of Rome!

...that the Eucharist is transformed into the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ after a priest recites prayers and incantations over it!

   Millions of Bible believing Christians were executed by the Roman Institution for standing against and openly denouncing these myths!

   What is in store for the Body of Christ in the days to come with Benedict XVI at the helm of the Roman Institution?

"As the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog [Ratzinger] was critical of other Christian faiths, which he described as 'not quite real churches'". The Daily Telegraph
