Claims for Papal Authority

[Mo0n5tar]

http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/claims.htm

The Papacy has harboured a desire for world domination since it's inception, the subjugation of all mankind to the Vicar of Christ, universal monarch the Pope.

Even some Popes themselves condemned this arrogance as Anti-Christian, Pope Gregory the Great said;

Whosoever calls himself, or desires to be called, Universal Priest, is in his elation the precursor of Antichrist, because he proudly puts himself above all others. Nor is it by dissimilar pride that he is led into error; for, as that perverse one wishes to appear as God above all men, so whosoever this one is who covets being called sole priest, he extols himself above all other priests.

Yet the title and all the esteem that goes with it has been used consistently in the years since, by every Pope of Rome, until the doctrines of infallibility were enacted:

Therefore faithfully adhering to the tradition received from the beginning of the Christian faith, for the glory of God our Saviour, the exaltation of the Catholic religion, and the salvation of Christian people, the sacred Council approving, we teach and define that it is a dogma divinely revealed: that the Roman Pontiff, when he speaks ex cathedra, that is, when in discharge of the office of pastor and doctor of all Christians, by virtue of his supreme Apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine regarding faith or morals to be held by the universal Church, by the divine assistance promised to him in blessed Peter, is possessed of that infallibility with which the divine Re- [p. 271] deemer willed that his Church should be endowed for defining doctrine regarding faith or morals; and that therefore such definitions of the Roman Pontiff are irreformable of themselves, and not from the consent of the Church.

But if any one—which may God avert—presume to contradict this our definition: let him be anathema. Given at Rome in public Session solemnly held in the Vatican Basilica in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy, on the eighteenth day of July, in the twenty-fifth year of our Pontificate.

IESV CHRISTI VICARIO INFALLIBILI
ORBIS SVPREMO IN TERRA RECTORI

which translates to:

To The Infallible Vicar of Jesus Christ
To the Supreme Governor of the World on Earth
To the Father of Nations and Kings.

Pope Innocent III Claims Authority Over Kings

Just as the founder of the universe established two great lights in the firmament of heaven, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, so too He set two great dignities in the firmament of the universal church..., the greater one to rule the day, that is, souls, and the lesser to rule the night, that is, bodies. These dignities are the papal authority and the royal power. Now just as the moon derives its light from the sun and is indeed lower than it in quantity and quality, in position and in power, so too the royal power derives the splendor of its dignity from the pontifical authority.... — Letter to the prefect Acerbius and the nobles of Tuscany, 1198.

Here you read how Pope innocent proclaims the gift bestowed by the father of all creation on the Pontifical seat in Rome, that of Spiritual and Temporal control of all souls and bodies, that is a truly insane statement, these people feel they are born to bind souls together.

The misguided scriptural referance:

Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Did this mean that the man Jesus himself referred to as Sah-tahn; Peter, would be entrusted with an authoritarianism Jesus himself would never have dreamt of operating?

From 2ndComing of Reb YHSHWH, Carlos Suares
The Rabbi is the forerunner of our maturity. He is consciousness without frontiers. And in Peter he sees every human being.

What he says (Mt16:18,19) is thus true for everyone of us.
Where there are no insulated compartments, no petitions or dividing walls, whatever we do has repercussions in the totality of the universes! What a responsibility for every one of us!

From "Crossing The Threshold of Hope", by Pope John Paul II, published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., copyright 1994 by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, ISBN 0-679-76561-1, First Chapter, "The Pope": A Scandal and a Mystery -

First Chapter: "The Pope": A Scandal and a Mystery:

The Pope is considered the man on earth who represents the Son of God, who "takes the place" of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity. [pg. 3]

The Pope is not the only one who holds this title. With regard to the Church entrusted to him, each bishop is Vicarius Christi. [pg. 13]

If you translate "represents the Son of God" into Latin, the official language of the Church, you get Vicarius Filii Dei, which in Roman Numerals will add up to 666. John Paul II also claims to "take the place" of Christ, which in Latin is Vicarius Christi, which has precisely the same meaning as the word AntiChrist.

From the very beginning of the Christian era, there has been a kind of sibling rivalry between Christians and Jews. For many centuries, before the Christians came along, the Jews considered themselves "God's chosen people". But when the Christians came along, they had competitors for that title.

Christians have been told from the very beginning, in the Gospels and in its sequel, "The Acts of the Apostles", that in the early years, when the Jews were the top dogs, they used their power to persecute their Christian rivals. Christians have been taught for almost 2000 years that "the Jews killed Christ". And Everybody knows that At least by the fourth century, the consensus amongst scholars is that persecution by Jews of Christians has been traditionally overstated; according to James Everett Seaver, "Much of Christian hatred toward the Jews was based on the popular misconception... that the Jews had been the active persecutors of Christians for many centuries...

The... examination of the sources for fourth century Jewish history will show that the universal, tenacious, and malicious Jewish hatred of Christianity referred to by the church fathers and countless others has no existence in historical fact. The generalizations of patristic writers in support of the accusation have been wrongly interpreted from the fourth century to the present day. That individual Jews hated and reviled the Christians there can be no doubt, but there is no evidence that the Jews as a class hated and persecuted the Christians as a class during the early years of the fourth century."

Please read this link and familiarize yourselves with the long list of persecutions the Jewish people have faced wherever ROMANIST Christianity has reared it's ugly head.

Judaism is always an enemy of Rome and I will give much love and respect to whoever can tell me why the tribe of Israel with their strong religious convictions have always been persecuted, victimised, demonised and targeted by the Church of Rome.

Excerpts:

Origen of Alexandria writes that the Jews "have committed the most abominable of crimes" in conspiring against Christ, and for that reason "the Jewish nation was driven from its country, and another people was called by God to the blessed election". *
and 'the blood of Jesus falls not only on the Jews of that time, but on all generations of Jews up to the end of the world'
240 A. D.

"St Gregory of Nyssa, with wanton eloquence, describes the Jews as 'slayers of the Lord, murderers of the prophets, enemies of God, haters of God, adversaries of grace, enemies of their fathers' faith, advocates of the devil, brood of vipers, slanderers, scoffers, men of darkened minds, leaven of the Pharisees, congregation of demons, sinners, wicked men, stoners, and haters of goodness' - a veritable catalogue for future anti-Semites to pick from."
(c. 331-396)

After forcing many Jews to be baptized and then referring to them as Marranos (swine), and after an Inquisition in which some 700 Marranos were burnt at the stake for showing signs of "Jewish" taint, Spain expels all Jews from the country.1492 A. D

Cardinal Carafa instigates a public burning of copies of the Talmud and other Jewish religious works in a square in Rome.1553 A. D.

Josef Tiso, a Catholic priest with a doctorate in theology, became president of independent Slovakia. An extremist hater of Jews, he allied Slovakia with Nazi Germany and, with strong objections from the Vatican, deported most Slovakian Jews to their deaths in the camps. He declared: "It is a Christian action to expel the Jews, because it is for the good of the people, which is thus getting rid of its pests." Monsignor Tiso was executed after the war as a war criminal. 1939 A. D.

Just Like Islam. Although you can leave Christianity with out fear. Leave Islam and your X fellow Muslims may kill you for apostosy.

All roads lead to Israel/Mecca/Egypt/babylon/India and other parts round that way.

[synergy777]

from india to egypt, to rome.

the vatican i believe will unite all religions under one banner, or orchestrate the downfall of all religions via holy war etc.

thus clearing the way for the nwo religion (luciferian gnostic mysticism) eg all sepeiroth/chakras/law of attraction/everything is permitted etc. it will be the perfect religion for everybody, as it will promote to people the pursuit of material/sensual gratification without them attaining enlightenment/wisdom, which requires hardwork/suffering/introspection.

people want instant everything, instant love. instant wealth, instant enlightenment.

thus they will provide this with a mixture of gnostic/mystic/luciferian doctrines.

just as emperor constantine tried to fuse all religions together at the council of nicea, to strengthen the roman empire, so history will repeat. the pope will try fuse all religions and mystic doctrines together, a one size fits all religion.

one religion, one government, one currency, the new world order.

the sad thing is that this no longer conjecture, but work in progress.
