The crucifixion is a major tenet of Roman Catholicism that has been denied by a

number of groups dating back to the earliest days of Christianity. The Gnostic s

were killed for repudiating it. The largest massacre in Roman Catholic Church

history was over this very tenet when the Albigensian Crusade took place and

30,000 soldiers were sent forth by the Papacy to slaughter 15,000 men, women

and children — slaughtered not for denying Christ and his teachings, but for

denying his crucifixion. (See chapters 19 and 20, Goddess and the Grail and

The Resurrection.)

FYI: The Templars are said to have been the forerunners of the modern Bankers,

and the cheque, a Templar invention.

If you're wondering when the Vatican got mobbed up, it was in 1487. Thank Pope Innocent VIII.

>In 1487 he married his elder son Franceschetto Cybo (d. 1519) to Maddalena de' Medici (1473–1528), the daughter of Lorenzo de' Medici, who in return obtained the cardinal's hat for his thirteen-year-old son Giovanni, later Pope Leo X.
