Is The Pope Catholic?

IS THE POPE CATHOLIC?

On October 14, 2016, a few weeks before the US presidential election, the New American wrote an article commenting on email correspondence released by Wikileaks in which John Podesta, the Clinton political advisor and known pedophile, advocated a “Catholic Spring.”

WikiLeaks revelations of anti-Christian bigotry have Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman, John Podesta, under fire. Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights says “Podesta must now be fired.” “In light of the latest Wikileaks revelations, she has no choice but to cut all ties with this man. The man is hell bent on creating mutiny in the Catholic Church and must therefore be fired,” Donohue charged Wednesday.

“We have long known that George Soros is the single most influential donor to dissident, and anti-Catholic, organizations,” Donohue charged. “Now we know from Wikileaks what I long have suspected: John Podesta has been the most influential point man running offense for Soros. Together, they have sought to manipulate public opinion against the Catholic Church.”

Podesta, a longtime Clinton adviser/confidante and hand-picked top activist for left-wing funder George Soros, revealed in a 2011 e-mail that he and other activists were working to effect a “Catholic Spring” revolution within the Catholic Church, an obvious reference to the disastrous “Arab Spring” coups organized that same year by the Obama-Clinton-Soros team that destabilized the Middle East and brought radical Islamist regimes and terrorist groups to power in the region. The Podesta e-mail is a response to another Soros-funded radical — Sandy Newman, founder of the “progressive” Voices for Progress. Newman had written to Podesta seeking advice on the best way to “plant the seeds of the revolution” in the Catholic Church, which he described as a “middle ages [sic] dictatorship.” The issue that appeared to be the cause of Newman’s e-mail was opposition by U.S. Catholic Bishops to the federally mandated contraceptive coverage in ObamaCare….

In his e-mail of February 10, 2011, Newman writes:

There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic church. Is contraceptive coverage an issue around which that could happen. The Bishops will undoubtedly continue the fight….

John Podesta responded the following day, writing:

We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this. But I think it lacks the leadership to do so now. Likewise Catholics United. Like most Spring movements, I think this one will have to be bottom up. I'll discuss with Tara. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is the other person to consult.

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and Catholics United are two of the many Soros-funded “Catholic” activist groups that push the “progressive” agenda (abortion “rights,” homosexual “marriage,” LBGT K through12 “education,” women priests, etc.) inside the church.

No doubt there are many Catholics who are concerned over the recent attempt to change the core beliefs and doctrines of the Church, especially those that run contrary to the politically-charged issues like abortion and the definition of marriage and the family. There is an obvious fight going on for the soul of the Catholic Church itself.

Nancy Pelosi, for example, recently claimed to be a “Catholic” in order to insist that she did not “hate Trump” but was actually “praying” for him. Can she really be “Catholic” when she pushes the non-Catholic Democrat platform? No doubt her prayer is: Please, God, help us destroy Donald Trump!”

For years I have watched this division grow within the Catholic Church. Once in a while, a priest or bishop will deny communion to a liberal but Catholic politician for his pro-abortion stance. But it seems that those priests are being overwhelmed by the “progressive” priests who agree with George Soros and John Podesta.

The real question is: What will Catholics themselves do about this? It is their problem, after all. If they do not fight back, the Church will soon lead them into mainstream “progressive” theology, where God is pro-abortion, anti-family, and pro-LGBT.

On January 20, 2017 a group of Catholics wrote a letter specifically asking the newly-inaugurated president, Donald Trump, to investigate Hillary Clinton’s proposal for a Catholic “revolution,” designed to destroy the Catholic Church in America. Shortly after Hillary’s proposal, Pope Benedict was forced to resign (February 2013), and he was replaced by Pope Francis. It appears that Francis is colluding with (or perhaps directing) the Vatican’s shift to the left in collusion with Soros.

A Vatican-Democratic Party Alliance? (Catholics Ask Trump Administration to Investigate)

…. Specifically, we have reason to believe that a Vatican “regime change” was engineered by the Obama administration.

We were alarmed to discover that, during the third year of the first term of the Obama administration your previous opponent, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and other government officials with whom she associated proposed a Catholic “revolution” in which the final demise of what was left of the Catholic Church in America would be realized.[1]  Approximately a year after this e-mail discussion, which was never intended to be made public, we find that Pope Benedict XVI abdicated under highly unusual circumstances and was replaced by a pope whose apparent mission is to provide a spiritual component to the radical ideological agenda of the international left. [2] The Pontificate of Pope Francis has subsequently called into question its own legitimacy on a multitude of occasions. [3] 

During the 2016 presidential campaign we were astonished to witness Pope Francis actively campaigning against your proposed policies concerning the securing of our borders, and even going so far as to suggest that you are not a Christian [4].  We appreciated your prompt and pointed response to this disgraceful accusation [5].

We remain puzzled by the behavior of this ideologically charged Pope, whose mission seems to be one of advancing secular agendas of the left rather than guiding the Catholic Church in Her sacred mission.  It is simply not the proper role of a Pope to be involved in politics to the point that he is considered to be the leader of the international left.

It appears that Pope Francis is the main instigator of the new apostasy known as Christlam, the unification of Christianity with Islam (and eventually Judaism as well). Exodus 23:32, 33 says,

³² You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods. ³³ They shall not live in your land, lest they make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

On February 4, 2019 Pope Francis signed a historic covenant with an Islamic leader, Grand Shiekh Ahmed el-Tayeb under the guise of getting along together.

https://leohohmann.com/2019/02/10/pope-signs-pact-with-islam-declaring-diversity-of-religions-is-willed-by-god/

Almost without notice from the global media, Pope Francis held a historic meeting last week in the United Arab Emirates with Grand Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, head of Egypt’s al-Azhar University, the world’s most authoritative institution on Islamic law.

El-Tayeb, while touted as a “moderate” by some in the West, unapologetically teaches that Muslims who leave Islam for other religions, or no religion at all, are guilty of apostasy and should be killed.

So what is the Pope of Rome, the supposed Vicar of Christ, doing cavorting with such a man?

Meanwhile, Christians continue to be killed and persecuted daily in Muslim countries. Does the pope really believe that signing this peace pact will stop the persecution? Does he think that Muslims will suddenly recognize Jesus as the Heir of creation and One who is greater than Muhammed? Or is his agenda to merge the two religions until Catholics become Muslim? This new policy is a classic “snare” in God’s warning in Exodus 23:33.

The pope is doing this under the assumption that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all worship the same God. Certainly, each claims to worship the true God, the Creator of the universe. However, each one’s description of its God is quite different. 1 John 2:22, 23 says,

²² This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. ²³ Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

Neither Judaism nor Islam acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God—nor will they, because this runs contrary to their core belief. If there is to be a true merger in Christlam, it will be only because Christians set aside the requirement to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, thereby also denying Peter’s revelation in Matthew 16:16, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Recall from Revelation 9 that God Himself empowered Islam to bring judgment upon the Church for its refusal to repent. In 606 A.D., Pope Boniface III laid claim to the exclusive right to the title, “Universal Bishop,” an act that his predecessor, Pope Gregory had said was a “blasphemous antichristian assumption.” Three years later (609), Mohammed got his “visions,” and he began to preach Islam in 612.

Islam to this day has a mandate to bring judgment upon the Church. It appears that Pope Francis is the one called to bring Catholics into divine judgment, first by uniting with Islam, and then by subjecting them to Islam.

On Thanksgiving, Ilhan Omar posted a video on Twitter with a video of her in the pulpit in a Catholic church. In the video, Omar is reciting a Muslim prayer. The video was recorded at an “interfaith service” at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in the Washington D.C. area.

So it is not just Rick Warren and Joel Osteen who are pushing Christlam. They promote this new hybrid apostasy among evangelicals, but Pope Francis is leading this apostasy in the Catholic Church, backed by “progressive” priests who are intent on destroying the Catholic Church from within.

Is the pope Catholic? What used to be a joke is now a serious question.

The Crown: The Rothschild's & The Vatican

THE CROWN: THE ROTHSCHILD’S & THE VATICAN

Who really owns the United States, Canada, Britain, Ireland, New Zealand and much more besides? What Legal Guild setup the Common Law system in the World, and the obedience to it by all nations?

This article will get us much closer to identifying the actual Elites/Illuminati that are attempting to set up a one-world government but are currently being stymied primarily by Russia, China, and Donald Trump.
 
According to Robert David Steele (at https://phibetaiota.net ) Trump, Putin, and Xi talk to each other on a regular bases and the so-called tariff war is merely theater.

In previous posts at freedomfromdelusion.blogspot.com, the first beast of Revelation 13, or the sea beast, and the second beast, or the earth beast were identified as the Roman Church (i.e. the Catholic Church and the Vatican Authority) and the Rothschild’s banking system.

First some background information. 

At the collapse of the secular Roman Empire, the Vatican church powers hired a military army and seized three of the seven European provinces of the former Roman Empire and became the Holy Roman Empire.  Thus the “little horn” of Daniel 7 being “another horn — a small one — came up between them, and three of the former horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it” Dan. 7:8.

During Napoleon’s conquests, the Holy Roman Empire was captured.  However, when Pope Pius VI refused to renounce political power, he was taken captive and Napoleon expelled the entire Roman curia. This captured pope later died in a French prison in Valence at the age of 82.  Napoleon issued an order that no successor should be named.   Rev 13:3a NET One of the beast's heads appeared to have been killed…. 

At a later date, Napoleon wanted to be crowned as Emperor of his new European kingdom and for some unexplained reason, decided he needed a pope to officiate the coronation.  Thus the position of pope was reinstated.  Rev 13:3b NET but the lethal wound had been healed.

After Napoleon’s abdication of power in 1812, the nations of Europe met at the Congress of Vienna to “redraw the map of Europe” and produced what came to be known as the Holy Alliance in 1815.  This Holy Alliance did not want the Vatican to again become the vicious Holy Roman Empire nor did they want the Jesuits to be in control.  Consequently, they placed the finances of the Vatican into the administration of a banking institute which later came to be controlled by the Rothschild banks, thus the Rothschild’s became the “guardians” of the Vatican’s wealth, holding the key to the money of the Roman Church.

Revelation 13:3c NET And the whole world followed the beast in amazement (wonder, admiration)

The Pope/Vatican and the Rothschild banking system are the ultimate antichrists according to the definition given by the Apostle John.  However, the world has many antichrists, although there appears to be more plain blasphemous atheists than so-called antichrists (i.e. just a personal opinion).  There are four occurrences of the word “antichrist” in 1John and 2 John.  1John 4:3 was chosen as representative since it covers most of the nuances of the word.

1 John 4:3 NET but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.

The Word Study Greek Dictionary gives the following definition for the word “antichrist”: 

Literally an opposer of Christ or one who usurps the place of Christ, and collectively meaning all who deny that Jesus is the Messiah and that the Messiah is come in the flesh.

The sea beast was “permitted to go to war against the saints and conquer them”. Rev 13:7 NET.  Many Christians were hung, tortured, burned at the stake, and killed in other manners during the Inquisition period and also before and after that period. 

When the earth beast or the banking system (later the Rothschild conglomerate) gained authority of the Roman Churches’ wealth and finances “he (the 2^nd beast) exercised all the ruling authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and those who inhabit it worship the first beast...” Rev 13:12 NET

The religious power and vast property ownership of the first beast along with the monetary (fiat money and usury) control of the second beast continues to the present day.  However, this system which constitutes the vast majority of Mystery Babylon, is being taken apart and destroyed.  It may appear as slow progress but by looking and reading behind the scenes, its destruction can be observed.

The Crown, also called the City of London is an independent state within London, England similar to Vatican City and Washington DC.  Each of these independent states contains an obelisk.  The obelisk in Washington DC is called the Washington monument.

The following exerts describe many details of the Crown (i.e. City of London and the Vatican powers).  More information and photos can be found by visiting the website listed links.  It is not certain if all given facts are entirely accurate, but most likely they are reliable.

The Crown

From:  http://humansarefree.com/2013/11/the-british-crown-empire-and-city-of.html

World politics today is governed by the Vatican, but also by the Crown Empire. The modern world of so-called Western Civilization began at the end of the 17th century with the blossoming of the British Empire.

That empire actually began several hundred years earlier with the establishment of the City of London, which is now an 800-year corporation that controls finance from an entity called ‘The Crown’.

This entity is the creator and controller of the Bank of England, the US Federal Reserve, the World Bank (IMF – International Monetary Fund), The European Union, and various cartels and corporations across the earth.

The Crown Bank of England took and assumed control of the United States during the Roosevelt Administration (1901-1909) when its agents, who were really Crown agents (J. P. Morgan), took over 25% of American business.

The British Monarchy is a figurehead for The Crown.  The Crown rules parliament in Great Britain and has authority over the Prime Ministers through a Vatican knighthood called the Order of the Garter. The Crown, however, is not the King or Queen of England – they are an established monarchy of the corporate body.

This City, located in the heart of Greater London, became a sovereign-state in 1694 when King William III of Orange privatized the Bank of England, and turned it over to the Vatican banksters who today rule the financial world.

The City/The Crown Corporation is not subject to British Law; it has its own courts, its own laws, its own flag, its own police force – exactly like the Vatican city state and Washington DC Columbia. The Crown Corporation is also separate from the Metropolitan city; its police drive red police cars and their uniforms are different from the Metropolitan Police.

It is out of The Crown City of London, the headquarters of British Freemasonry overseen by the British Monarchy and the Duke of Kent, that World Freemasonry is governed. This includes the Grand Orient Masonic Order and the Washington DC Scottish Rite.

In 1945 the Bank of England was nationalized by the Labor Government, and is allegedly no longer a private bank, although it governs the US Federal Reserve. It is ruled over by the Rothschild’s, who are bankers for the Pope – guardians of the Vatican Treasury.

The government and 'legal' system of the United States is controlled by the 'Crown.' The Crown is not only the British monarch as widely believed, but is the 'City,' an independent legal-guild state in London. In turn, the 'City' or the 'Crown' is really the Knights Templar Church, also known as the Crown Temple or Crown Templar, and this is located between Fleet Street and Victoria Embankment.

The Temple grounds are also home to the Crown Offices at Crown Office Row. The Crown Temple controls the global 'legal' system, including those in the United States and Canada, because all Bar Associations are franchises of the International Bar Association at the Inns of Court at Crown Temple based at Chancery Lane in London. All Bar Associations' are franchises of the Crown and all Bar Attorneys throughout the world pledge a solemn oath to the Temple, even though they are not told that this is what they are doing.

Bar Association 'licensed' Attorneys must keep to their oath, pledge and terms of allegiance to the Crown Temple if they are to be "called to Bar" and work in the 'legal' profession anywhere in the world. The 'ruling' monarch is also subordinate to the Crown Temple and has been so since the reign of King John in the 13th century when royal sovereignty was transferred to the Crown Temple and, through that, to the Roman Church.

The 'governments' of the United States and Canada, and Australia and New Zealand, and all of the UK are subsidiaries of the Crown Temple and so is the US 'central bank,' the Federal Reserve. Indeed the global banking system is controlled by the Crown Temple as well as the worldwide 'legal' system.
