Continued from Papal Theonomy And America Today – The Ambition of the Papacy

The Vatican Network

The Vatican has a worldwide network not only of those connected officially to the Vatican workforce, but millions of loyal sons and daughters all over the world, to carry out her program and plan to take over the world for the Papacy. The Legion of Mary, the Cult of Fatima, and Opus Dei, to name a few, are all out for one thing only, to make the Pope the ruler of the world.

Studies on the Mossad,* the secret police of Israel, show that this organization can count on the help of loyal Jews all over the world. When the Mossad needs help in its assassinations, it can call upon the Jews of that particular city where the assassination is to take place, for information, places to stay, fronts to be set up, money, and contacts, and anything else which is needed to carry out the contract.

Opus Dei works in the same way to further the cause of the Vatican. Opus Dei supplies loyal henchman when needed to carry out the plans of the Vatican in just about any country of the world except in those states which are totally Islamic.**

* See By Way of Deception, Insider’s Portrait of the Mossad by Claire Hoy and Victor Ostrovosky, p. xi.

** It was the chairman of the board of one of the largest companies in America who was the liaison between Gerry Adams of the IRA and President Clinton. He used his powerful political clout to get the representative of a gangster outfit three thousand miles away an audience with the President of the United States. The only real connection between these two men was their Roman Catholic faith.

Opus Dei, of course, works to control a country for the Vatican, using modern means of financial clout and political intimidation rather than assassination. Michael Walsh, who is himself a Roman Catholic, in his work on Opus Dei tells how Opus Dei worked in Spain: “When Opus members controlled the economy of Spain they developed private industry at the expense of the public.”¹ The interesting thing here is not what was developed; but the fact that Opus Dei controlled the entire economy of Spain.

Walsh, who at one time was a Jesuit, and is still a loyal son of the “church” also notes that the spirit of Opus appeals to the present Pope. “He can hardly have been indifferent if, as it is alleged, Opus money was sent for the support of Solidarity in Poland.”²

He also states that Opus received funds from conservative U.S. foundations which with money from the CIA, opposed the unions that had brought Allende to power in Chile. He also claims that General Juan Carlos Ongania, dictator of Argentina from 1966-1970 seized power after a religious retreat sponsored by Opus Dei. He also notes:

the German Catholic aid-agency Adveniat gradually replaced the CIA in the 1970’s as the helpmate of military regimes, and that Adveniat was controlled by bishops sympathetic to Opus. ³

He later adds that the Opus-CIA links were documented in the American Journal Mother Jones, July 1983. The Opus, Fatherland, and Liberty, were all fused with Pinochet’s secret police, which was CIA funded. The CIA also funded the Chilean Institute for General Studies which was an Opus think tank.’

He proceeds to show that Opus of course, denies all such allegations and denies that it has anything to do with politics. In fact, the organization borders on a secret society for Walsh claims that one of Escriva’s “prevailing concerns was that of the secrecy of the organization.” ⁴

Again, though there is no proof for the charge that Opus Dei is involved in assassinations, there have been many questions raised in connection with certain murders. In November of 1985 “a Munich court prevented the publication of a book which “falsely” alleged that certain Opus members had worked with right-wing death squads in Chile.”⁵ Some are not so sure that the allegations were false.

Certainly Camilo Torres, a Colombian Roman Catholic priest was shot in February of 1966. Torres was a radical priest, who championed the cause of social justice, in a country dominated by one of the most repressive Roman Catholic dictatorships in the world. The officer, in charge of the brigade which killed Torres, became a general and assisted in editing an Opus-linked magazine in Bogota.

Opus money is also all tied into the IOR which is the Institute for the Works of Religion. This bank began in 1887 as a means of aiding the Vatican enterprises around the world. “It is located inside Vatican City…which puts it outside Italian banking law.”⁶

Michele Sindona was a consultant to this bank. When he was indicted, and called to testify, he died from drinking poisoned coffee on March 22, 1986.⁷ Roberto Calvi, a one time associate of Sindona, the head of the Ambriosano Bank was found hanging under London’s Blackfriars Bridge on June 18, 1982.⁸

Walsh closes this chapter in his book with this question:

If indeed Opus can dispense large sums, then the fatal visit of Calvi to London may reflect the banker’s belief that Opus could bail him out. Both Signora Calvi and his son have claimed that he was expecting Opus to mount a rescue operation. They have said that he was thinking of going to Spain: instead he came to England. Was it because he believed the center of Opus’s financial operations was in the City of London?⁹

Calvi’s death was ruled a suicide but it could well have been murder.

Rome can command an incredible amount of support from all quarters around the globe when it needs help. Richard Hammer in his book The Vatican Connection, even recounts the tale of Marcinkus and the appeal to the Mafia for help in counterfeiting a billion dollars to help out the Vatican in the Sindona debacle. The Mafia was ready to help the Papacy without question.

Even Ronald Reagan was ready to help the Papacy when he could. He said at a speech before the National Catholic Education Association:

I am grateful for your help in shaping American policy to reflect God’s will… And I will look forward to further guidance from his holiness Pope John Paul II during an audience I will have with him in June.¹⁰

The involvement of the Papacy in Bosnia and Croatia again shows the power which the Vatican wields. The Vatican was one of the first “states” to recognize the breakaway moves of Croatia from the former Yugoslavia. Then the United States backed up the Vatican in recognizing Croatia. Bosnia was also quickly recognized as a Muslim-governed country even though a large part of the population was Serbian. These hasty moves resulted in a bloodbath with the Serbs receiving most of the blame in the Vatican-dominated press of the western world.

The news media, of course has NEVER once referred to the massacres carried out by Croatia during World War II. The Serbian Orthodox Church, in exile in London, put the number massacred at around 1,200,000. A recent book, written by a Jewish writer, examines the strange case of Kurt Waldheim; former secretary-general of the United Nations, who was in Croatia during the time of the massacres.

Herzstein claims that there are about 3 years missing from the dossier of Waldheim and that little was done to find out why. He was installed as Secretary General of the United Nations, one of the most powerful positions in the world, a loyal son of the “church” of Rome, without so much as a question about his participation in the Kozara massacre.

Croatia was, and is, an example of theonomy. Here the “church” ruled and massacred for three years. Multiplied thousands of Serbian Orthodox Christians were massacred during the theonomy of Pavelic. The Roman Catholic priests were on hand to make forced conversions to set up their idea of the kingdom of God on earth. Those involved in these massacres were shielded from justice by certain people in the American armed forces. Herzstein relates that when the Yugoslavs tried to get their hands on Oskar Turina, the man involved in the Kozara massacre, the Americans stalled. They demanded more evidence against the notorious Roman Catholic Croatian Ustasha leader. Herzstein notes:

Finally on April 26, 1948, U.S. authorities informed the Yugoslav mission in Vienna that “Turina had departed from the U.S. Zone of Austria for an unknown destination.” If he ever showed up again, the Americans promised, they would be happy to reconsider Yugoslavia’s extradition request. In fact, the Americans had helped Turina to make his way to Italy. From there, he left Europe. Some sources claim he eventually took up residence in Argentina, while others say he settled in the United States.¹¹

Most of the Nazi war criminals, and the Ustasha murderers, all escaped via Italy, using Vatican supplied passports. It was important that Turina not be turned over to the Yugoslavs for had he been allowed to testify the “Yugoslavs might have learned something they had no idea of at the time — that Kurt Waldheim had been involved in the notorious Kozara deportations.”¹²

It is nothing short of amazing to read how deeply the tiny Vatican state is involved in so many countries of the world in 1996. The massacres and wars of Rome are still going on in Rwanda and Burundi. Others are just ending in Angola, Mozambique and the North of Ireland. Still others are continuing in Croatia and Bosnia. Rome is deeply involved in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Mexico and indeed just about every country south of the Rio Grande. As Mumford points out:

The Church, in effect, controls most governments in Latin America and many in Africa, and the Philippines. Authorities in these countries live under constant intimidation by the Church, which can threaten to bring about the downfall of a regime by arousing its citizens.¹³

We saw this first hand in Malawi. The president of Malawi when we first went there was a Presbyterian. He was a good leader of his people. Rome did not like his rule. He fought with Rome and expelled five Roman Catholic priests from Malawi. But others were there to stir the people up to riot. He has since been deposed. He dared to fight with Rome; and found out that his opponent was much more powerful than he had ever imagined. Rome got the United States to intervene. Dan Quayle came over to Malawi and then reported back, as Rome wanted him to do, that Malawi was not a democracy. So Rome, the greatest opponent to democracy which has ever cursed this planet, was able to dupe the United States into getting rid of her opponent in Malawi.

Rome wants now to control North America as she has controlled South America for so long. In fact, while her hold on South America may be slipping somewhat, her inroads into North America are growing.

Walsh admits that in South America Rome is not in as secure a position as she once was. He outlines the way Rome likes to dominate countries:

In the past, the Catholic Church in many countries, particularly Latin American countries… has been closely involved with the State, appearing to give the State divine authority over those it governed. The presence within a country of a papal nuncio; his attendance, and that of other prelates, at State occasions; State recognition of religious festivals these and many other signs have demonstrated that the State has the blessing of the Church and that the Church legitimizes the State.¹⁴

This is the future for America if she continues on the road she is now traveling. When Rome makes her claim to legitimizing the State, as she does in Chile, she also seeks the government’s help in making other churches illegitimate. More than 120,000 evangelicals recently marched in Chile protesting the strong-armed repression by the Roman Catholic “church” in that land.

In Brazil, Leonel Franca wrote his most important book The Church, the Reformation, and Civilization in defence of the counter-reformation and also to attack Protestantism. His book was immensely popular when it first came out, but lost some of its luster, as the poorer classes in Brazil turned more and more toward the “people’s churches” and away from the monolithic idea of the Roman Catholic church.

However, as Walsh points out, as the poorer classes became more affected by Marxism, the upper classes became ever more intransigent in their defence of the Roman Catholic church. This is where the strength of Roman Catholicism now lies in Latin America.

The intellectual Roman Catholics of the upper classes in Latin America never viewed the Cold War as a confrontation between east and west; they viewed it, according to De Broucker, as a “confrontation between North and South.”¹⁵ With wave after wave of legal, and illegal emigrants, from all over Latin America now swamping North America, it is not difficult to see who is winning in this confrontation today. Latin American irredentism is helping the “church” to take over North America without a shot being fired.

It is interesting to notice the difference between Roman Catholic writers and Protestant writers today. The Roman Catholic writers NEVER apologize for Rome or her authority. Protestant writers on the other hand are always seeking to minimize the very things in which Roman Catholic writers glory.

So while Protestants minimize the Vatican and the power of the Pope, the Roman Catholics always stress the power of the Pope and the Vatican. So while they may criticize certain things about Rome at the present time as Martin, Walsh, Strojie, and others do, they do not criticize what they believe is the true Catholicism and the true papacy.

In fact, Malachi Martin claims away too much for the Pope and the Vatican. He brags on the depth of knowledge that the Papacy has access to, and even attributes the source of that knowledge to something supernatural. He writes:

Further he (the Pope) does not need to use his imagination because, as the man who now sits at the governing center of the universal, age-old and deeply experienced Roman Catholic Church and the center of the world’s oldest chancery John Paul is privy to the closest thing there is in practical terms to racial memory and wisdom. Besides, he has the sources of knowledge and enlightenment denied to ordinary mortals. He is far more deeply aware of plans -in-the-making and of things to come than many a government or managerial body — NEW BORN BABES when compared to the Vatican in memory and experience — that is attempting to direct human affairs along, the paths of evolutionary globalism. (emphasis added)¹⁶

When Martin states that the Pope has sources of knowledge and enlightenment denied to ordinary mortals, he is obviously attributing to the Pope, some kind of supramortal or supernatural knowledge and wisdom which he believes the Pope possesses. So not only does the Pope have access to knowledge, from all over the world through his faithful henchmen, he also has the benefit of supernatural wisdom and enlightenment according to Martin.

Apparently from everything else that Martin writes, and the Pope’s personal motto “totus tuus” totally yours, referring to his total devotion to Mary, this supernatural wisdom of the Pope then must come from the immaculate heart of Mary. However, when one studies the bloody history of the Papacy, he might be excused for thinking that any supernatural help the Pope receives comes from a much lower personage. But it is interesting to notice, in the midst of all kinds of changes and decay within Romanism, that the Pope, as a person, is receiving more and more attention and accolades, than at any time since the days of Innocent III.

Malachi Martin certainly sees the trend toward globalism not only in society but in the church. He believes that there can only be ONE MAN who is capable of governing this global church and he is according to Martin, the Pope of Rome. He points out that only Rome has been involved in world affairs for the past 2000 years and that Rome and the Pope do not take this historical pedigree lightly. Martin states:

It took the papacy and its institutional organization, the Roman Catholic Church, almost the whole of two thousand years to attain, in the concrete order, its status and condition of a georeligion. It took all the ups and downs of 264 pontificates for the political philosophy and goals of that georeligion to be purified and purged of the cultural and civilizational accretions that along the road impeded the development of papal and Roman Catholic geopolitics.

At the close of two thousand years since Paul (the Apostle) expressed the worldview of a genuine georeligion, the 263rd successor to the obscure Great Fisherman reigns and governs in Rome as the titular head of that georeligion housed in a genuinely geopolitical structure. For John Paul II is not only the spiritual head of a worldwide corpus of believers but also the chief executive of a sovereign state that is a recognized member of our late-twentieth-century society of states. With a political goal and structure! Yes, with a geopolitical goal and structure. For in the final analysis, John Paul II as the claimant Vicar of Christ DOES CLAIM TO BE THE ULTIMATE COURT OF JUDGMENT on the society of states as a society. (emphasis added)¹⁷

Many may take Rome lightly today, but Rome does not take herself lightly, nor does she hesitate to intrude anywhere she can get a foothold. As Satan’s false church, she counts on the help of the Archdeceiver himself to further her ambitions to take over the world, and put the Vicar of Christ the Antichrist, as this is what Vicar of Christ really means, the one in place of Christ ~ upon the throne of his desired dominion.

The sad thing is that those Americans whom one would expect to understand the nature of SPIRITUAL WARFARE do not seem to have a clue. As Leonard Ravenhill wrote on another subject to be true, yet just as suited to this one: “we wrestle not.” Ravenhill was pointing out that the Christian wrestles not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers etc., but noted pungently that the description of modern Christians could be summed up in the fact that THEY WRESTLE NOT PERIOD! THERE IS NO SENSE OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE AT ALL!

There is only one common thread which binds all of these organizations, operations, countries, and individuals together: the Roman Catholic “church”. This mammoth socio-politico-religious octopus has had its tentacles around the world for centuries. It is not about to let go in 1996 or any time soon.
