POPES WHO CHARMED THE WORLD BUT CARRIED THE KISS OF DEATH
Even in this age that should know better, the popes are looked up to far too much in society and in the media. If people want to be manipulated by the popes, then it is up to them to change.
Pope Pius IX who proclaimed the dogmas that Mary was conceived without
sin and that the pope was infallible and called

The tyrannical reign
of Pope St Pius X ran from 1903 to 1914.
He issued a compendium of Catholic
Doctrine called The Catholic Faith which ordered Catholics not to read
any Bibles given to them by Protestants but to hate the books and burn them or
give them to the priest. It claimed they
were corrupted and had errors. He even
went as far as to forbid Catholic Bibles when they are printed without the
explanations that make the Bible defend Catholic doctrine (page 4, The
Church of Rome and the Word of God).
Deuteronomy 18 says that if a prophet makes no errors when claiming to
be speaking for God that prophet should be believed but if he makes just one
mistake he should not be believed at all.
This implies that every person has to read the Bible and make sure there
are no errors in it in order to believe in it with God’s blessing. Even God – being out of character I must say
- does not like even the truth to be believed for the wrong reasons. Pius is obviously saying that he does. To me, Deuteronomy 18 presupposes a short
Bible. We must remember that if we
cannot listen to an accurate prophet after he makes one false prediction or
contradicts a message from God previously given, how much less can we listen to people who claim they can interpret the
word of God for us. We need to have a
short Bible to do the studying and examination ourselves. A shorter Bible is easier to distribute,
learn and study and check out. The one
we have is long and the Torah of which Deuteronomy is a part gives no
intimation that any more scripture will come, apart from what the Great Prophet
promised in chapter 18 himself will reveal.
Adolf Hitler praised Christianity in Mein Kampf. In Volume 1, Chapter 11 he mentioned the
incident in the gospels were Jesus was reported to have attacked the Jews with
a whip in the

ultimately responsile for the evils committed by the
Church against the Jews during the time the Church had its love relationsip with the Nazi regime.
The Pope was infamous
for saying nothing to condemn the Nazis NOT EVEN when their regime had been destroyed. He knew of the Holocaust and said
nothing. The Catholic hypocrites say the
pope had to say nothing for the
Pius XII expelled the
Communists of the world from the Church in 1949 and said the Jews were pulling
Communist strings up to some level. He gave
that alleged collusion between Communists and Jews as a reason for the excommunication
he pronounced (page 184, (page 183, In
Defence of Atheism). No Nazi was
ever excommunicated. While Canon Law
excommunicated any Catholic who voiced dissent from “infallible” Catholic
doctrines such as Mary being conceived without sin, no such excommunication
existed for the Nazis who preached racism and the duty to get rid of the Jews
by any means possible. Hitler’s Mein Kampf never ended up on the
Index of Forbidden Books.
In Defence of Atheism reminds us that Hitler was no atheist
because he had a religious text from the Bible put on the belt buckles of the soliders of the Reich and enforced prayer in schools.
Pope John Paul II has beatified John XXIII who reigned from 1958 to 1963. In 1962, John XXIII issued a decree that excommunicated any Catholic who did not keep an agreement with the Church to keep absolutely silent on priests who were using the confessional for sexual favours. He wanted child-abuse covered up. The document Crimen Sollicitationis which contained these evil rules never forbade the abuse or give directions about stopping it. Anyway how could it for it was up to the civil law to do that and it didn’t want it involved? If they didn’t want to cover up, then why such a harsh penalty such as excommunication? Excommunication means one is at a hugely increased risk of going to suffer in hell forever if one dies for without the sacraments the soul is in trouble. They were blackmailed to keep quiet. To blackmail a child making a complaint about a priest misusing the confessional to seduce them is the lowest act possible. The secrecy and threats made sure that children would have to be silent and just live with the abuse.
The decree was found in 2003 by Texan lawyer
Daniel Shea who handed the document bearing the papal
seal over to the authorities in the
John Paul II otherwise known as John Paul the
Great will no doubt be made a saint especially if Pope Benedict XVI has his
way. But John Paul ignoring the fact
that the Bible God and Jesus were very liberal regarding capital punishment in
times when many trials were fit-ups has proved himself a heretic by claiming
that it is rarely if ever right. He is a
heretic for its all over his Bible and the traditions
of the popes who wanted heretics put to death.
John Paul II scandalised many orthodox Catholics by initiating many
outrageous ecumenical gestures, one seeing a statue of Buddha placed on an
altar in
Bizarrely Pope Callistus 217-22 AD and the rival pope Hippolytus 217-235 AD are regarded as saints! St Hippolytus however was no doubt an anti-pope leading a false and schismatic Catholic Church. The big majority of popes for the first five hundred years were saints. This is odd for the list doesn’t have as many saints afterwards! See the list in Pope Fiction, a book the details of which are at the bottom of the page.

Traditionalist Catholics have found clear proof that this pope makes saints not because they really are holy but for his own agenda and often to forge his own popularity. The unsuitability of Mother Teresa for beatification is well known but that didn’t stop the Pope. His men even schemed to make sure that it would look like she did miracles after her death to justify beatification and her future canonisation.
The Pope said nothing as his Church protected and sanctioned
and covered up for the genocide of Tutsis in
Read PAPAL SIN, STRUCTURES OF DECEIT, Garry Wills, Darton Longman and Todd, London, 2000. This excellent book documents the lies and frauds and cynical manipulations of John Paul II in order to canonise Edith Stein. She was a Jew who converted to Catholicism and became a nun. She died in Auschwitz during the Holocaust in 1942. The Pope canonised her to make it look like the Holocaust victimised Catholics as well as Jews (page 48).
Stein following her conversion to Catholicism, despite the Church law of the time prohibiting assisting at non-Catholic worship, went to synagogue with her mother (page 50). She failed to do any miracles after her death so the Pope had to promote the lie that she died for her Catholic faith. Martyrs don't need to do miracles to be canonised. The truth is she died because of her Jewish parentage and not her faith at all. In fact she had tried to escape and attempted bribery to that effect (page 54). This ruse having failed the Pope then attributed a miracle of healing a child of an overdose to her and took it as evidence that the canonisation should proceed. However, the doctors studying the case said that the child had a huge chance of making a full recovery anyway (page 59).
The pope proclaimed Father Maximilian Kolbe to be a martyr during the canonisation ceremony. Father Kolbe did not die for the faith but did die to save a married man from death at the hands of the Nazis. More lies to pretend that the Church was more victim of the Nazis than its friend.
John Paul protected Polish priest, Father Michael Zembrzuski from justice (page 299, Papal Sin). This priest had been guilty of fraud when he was raising funds for a shrine to the Blessed Virgin. The pope got it all covered up and ignored reports proving the priest's guilt.
Even worse was the cover up for and sanctuary offered to Father Maciel the founder of the Catholic cult order the Legionaries of Christ. Fr Maciel was swamped with allegations that he had sodomised and raped young men brainwashed into following the Church through his order. Benedict XVI imposed some light penalties on him for his sins. Clearly this was because of Maciel's age. Presumably, then you should get away with child molestation and not be taken to court if you are of advanced age and the victims are the bad guys if they object! Vile! So child abuse should be legal if you are of advanced age! That is what these nuts are saying.
German Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI in April 2005.
He was a member of Hitler Youth in Nazi Germany.
He says he had no choice.
He always claimed to be very holy. He teaches that you can be heroically holy only if you want to be. So he had a choice. He should have chosen death or imprisonment rather than join Hitler Youth. If he was that confident in God, he would have had refused to join. He canonised people who embraced big trouble because they trusted in God.
The rabid anti-Semitism of the Roman Catholic Church at the time certainly makes one doubt that he joined Hitler Youth kicking and screaming.
And he could have got across the border and out of Germany.
Conclusion
It is no good work for the Catholic Church to proclaim holy men such as these to be good men. It is a disgrace and the crimes of the popes should be abhorred far and wide.
