FINAL WARNING: Setting the Stage for Destruction
define as a truth necessary for salvation that every human being is
subject to the Roman Pontiff.”Pope Leo X (1513-21) proclaimed that all human beings must be
subject to the Roman Pontiff for salvation. He said: “It has served us
well, this myth of Christ.” He sold indulgences and ordered that
heretics be burned.In 1542, Pope Paul III (1534-50) established the Roman Inquisition to
battle Protestantism in Italy. The operation was carried out by a
Commission governed by six Cardinals, called the Congregation of the
Inquisition. As Catholicism expanded, they concerned themselves only
with maintaining religious order, and in 1908, Pope Pius X renamed
them the Holy Office, and they were charged with maintaining the
purity of the faith. In 1965, Pope Paul VI (1963-78) reorganized the
group, and renamed it the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.Pope Pius IX (1846-78) said that Protestantism is “no form of Christian
religion” and Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) condemned religious freedom
and Bible translations, and said that “everyone separated from the
Roman Catholic Church, however unblamable in other respects, has
no part in Eternal Life.” He also said that he was the head of all rulers,
that he was God’s earthly ruler, and that the Protestants were the
“enemies of the Christian name.”Pope Pius X (1903-14), when he was Archbishop of Venice, said: “The
Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus
Christ himself, hidden under the veil of flesh. Does the Pope speak? It
is Jesus Christ who speaks (as reported in the Catholic Nationale, July

“enemies of the Cross of Christ.” Pope Pius XI (1922-39) said in 1928,
that the Roman Catholic Church was the only Church of Christ.In the 1800’s, the Vatican wasn’t doing very well financially. Their
credit was so bad that no Christian banker would help them. In 1835,
James Mayer Rothschild (1792-1868) stepped in and lent them
$200,000. Pope Gregory XVI (1831-46) was so grateful that he awarded
the Rothschild family with a Papal decoration. Ever since then, the
Rothschilds have been one of the financial agents of the Vatican. But
that still wasn’t enough. Properties were sold, relics of the saints were
