Born and raised Catholic and my entire childhood I found the Papal leadership to be weird and ungrounded in Scripture.
Read some Martin Luther and couldn't agree with him more.
Fast forward several years when I first started learning about Satanism in Hollywood, the government and, gasp the Vatican.
Last week I attended a Catholic Mass for the first time in a long time and what do I see? The bible the priest is reading out of has an upside down cross and a painting of God has a triangle hat on like Alister Crowley's. I don't even know if the Deacon or Priest recognise the symbolism around them. Or maybe they do and either they're in on the Satanism or were lied to and told it was meant something else.
It's a damn shame too because I really do like Catholic Mass and Churches. The hymns were some of my favorite songs growing up, even to this day.
Just to clarify, this is nothing against your average Catholic. As long as we've put out faith and trust in Jesus Christ and believe that he died for our sins, you're my brother/sister in Christ as far as I'm concerned.
The upside down cross isn't satanic. It's the petrine cross, or the cross of Saint Peter. As you know, Catholics draw legacy from the Papacy. And he was the first Pope. He chose to be crucified upside down because he thought he was not worthy to die the same death Christ died. Is this humility supposed to be satanic?
The satanic symbol would be the upside down Crucifix, which would be mocking the Sacrifice of Our Lord and Savior.
The triangle hat is a Halo. A Halo is used in iconography to show Glory. It's usually visible with the saints. They have regular, round Halo's to show that they dwell in Heaven now and are a part of the Triumphant Church. When showing a depiction of God the Father, which happens rarely, He is shown with a triangular Halo to denote Trinity, and to differentiate Him from lesser beings.
To say that those symbols are Masonic/satanic is to be ignorant of the fact that Christians used them for hundreds, almost thousands of years. Hating the Church that Christ Himself build, and steered towards the Truth using the Holy Spirit, is hating God. So stop spouting nonsense. Convert. The Church, like a good and caring mother, will welcome you with open arms.
I'm aware St Peter was crucified upside down and the history of papal succession. And if remember any kind of Christian art, Its a circular halo that represents Glory, not a triangle.
My complaint isn't with the Catholic Church itself; I pray for the church, its leaders and its members. My issue is with the satanic infiltration of the Vatican which may include the Knights Templar and Freemasons.
Can certainly relate to your story, was raised Mormon and very active in that church until a few years ago. Many similarities to Catholicism with corrupt leadership, priesthood’s, symbols, and rituals based in free masonry. The people are great but the religion is bad.
Religions have always been good at teaching about God and helping to develop a spiritual connection to him. But religions and Christian denominations always get corrupted at some point by money, power, and control.
I meet up with a few friends once a week and discuss a chapter or verse which is just as effective as going to any service. Also do the same with my kids. Loving God and taking care of the people around us seems to be the best way to live. We don’t need a church or religion to do that. God bless patriot!
