Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Kash's father was full of confidence that this desire to convince the Pope would be approved by Shri Jesus. In addition, the Savior's reply would be universally accepted, since " we can only obtain true knowledge of God through attention to God's revelation, the standard for which Barth believed was only to be found in Christ. " The child agreed to pass these suggestions to the Great Divine Mother. He meditated and the energy of the Holy Spirit, residing at the roots of the Tree of Life within him traveled all the way up and blossomed into the Thousand Petalled Lotus. He emerged through the clouds and slowly floated into his ethereal body that was meditating beside the Great Primordial Mother. He stood up and, after exchanging greetings with the Supreme Mater Sanctissima, told Her that he wanted to see Shri Jesus. She agreed and both traveled through the universe to His place. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi slowed down as they approached His abode. A short distance away Kash could see that Shri Jesus was in deep meditation, His massive spiritual body poised magnificently on the soft cloud cover. It was a sight to behold, a Divine Being powerful beyond all human imagination, sitting in utter peace and egoless humility. The entire atmosphere was super charged with Spiritual Energy, Silence and Bliss. They were in Heaven. When they came nearer Shri Jesus came out of meditation and got up to receive them. He was dressed in a one-piece light gray dress that extended to His ankles, like a robe. There was another piece of cloth, also light gray, that was draped across His right shoulder down to the left waist. After exchanging greetings all of them sat down. Kash then asked the Spirit of the Living God again if he could ask Shri Jesus some questions. The Great Holy Spirit smiled and told him to go ahead. Kash first posed this question to Shri Christ, " Lord Jesus, who is your Father? " Shri Jesus immediately replied, " The Spirit is My Father. " Kash then asked Shri Jesus if it would be all right to convince the pope of these Revelations. For the first time Kash saw both the Great Adi Shakti and Shri Jesus taken aback for some reason. Both visibly reacted the very instant the word pope was mentioned, as if it was a name that should not be uttered in the Sacred Sanctuary of His Kingdom. Actually both of them moved backwards as the force of the name hit them like a potent curse. It was as if the word had defiled the immaculate purity and pristine holiness of the Kingdom of God. The word " pope " was to both Lord Jesus and the Great Adi Shakti the very essence of Evil itself, an entity that reeked of centuries-old vice, lust, wickedness, sin, immorality, blasphemy, torture, and death. Shri Adi Shakti: The Kingdom Of God, page 418-19 http://www.adishakti.org/his_human_adversary.htm " The Reformation compelled some attention to morals among the clergy, and for a time an earnest endeavor was made at purification of the (Catholic) Church. This was one of the chief labors of the famous Council of Trent. That council certainly did repress the abuses among the general clergy, but the law-makers were law-breakers. They could not touch the Cardinals, Archbishops, or the Pope himself, and thus little radical change was effected among the chief dignitaries themselves. In 1849, when the Roman people opened the palace of the Inquisition, there was found in the library a department styled, 'Summary of Solicitations,' being a record of cases in which women had been solicited to acts of criminality by their confessors in the pontifical state (Italy, and the summary is not brief. To quote the words of Machiavelli, 'If the papal court were removed to Switzerland, the simplest and most religious people of Europe would, in an incredible short time, have become utterly depraved by the vicious example of the Italian priesthood.' (Discorsi i. 12.) The ecclesiastics did not confine themselves to licentiousness of conduct. The clerical writers were charged with a taste for that lowest practice of debased minds: obscenity, in which particular they exceed the lay writers. " William W. Sanger, M. D., The History of Prostitution, Eugenics Pub. Co., 1939 " The long line of popes who were libertines before and sometimes after ascending the throne of Peter suggests that celibacy was not honoured by the rank and file of the clergy, either. As we noted in Part One, a list of popes who misbehaved would include, among others, Benedict V, Sergius III, John X, John XII, Benedict VII, Benedict IX, Clement V, Clement VI, 'John XXIII', Sixtus IV, Pius II, Innocent VIII, Alexander VI, Julius II, Paul III, Julius III, Gregory XIII, Gregory XV, Urban VIII, Innocent X, Alexander VII. When popes had mistresses of fifteen years of age, were guilty of incest and sexual perversions of every sort, had innumerable children, were murdered in the very act of adultery, there can be no doubt that celibacy among the clergy as a whole was more honoured in the breach than in the observance. In the old Catholic phrase, why be holier than the pope? " Peter de Rosa Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy " Pope Innocent IV (1243-54), owing to a dispute with Emperor Frederick II, was forced to leave Rome . . . Innocent took the Curia to Lyons, instead. When Frederick II died, Innocent was able to return to Rome. Cardinal Hugo, in the pope's name, wrote to the people of Lyons a letter of gratitude. The document, dated 1250, is one of the most infamous in papal history. During our residence in your city, we [the Roman Curia] have been of very charitable assistance to you. On our arrival, we found scarcely three or four purchasable sisters of love, whilst at our departure we leave you, so to say, one brothel that extends from the western to the eastern gate. In the same century, St Bonaventure, cardinal and general of the Franciscans, likened Rome to the harlot of Apocalypse, thus anticipating Luther by three centuries. This harlot, he said, makes kings and nations drunk with the wine of her whoredoms. In Rome, he claimed to have found nothing but lust and simony, even in the top ranks of the church. Rome corrupts the prelates, they corrupt their clergy, the clergy corrupt the people. " Peter de Rosa, Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy, Bantam Press, 1988, p. 118-19 - Catholic Christianity begun with the satanic alliance between the barbaric, concubine-sired Constantine and Pope Sylvester (Bishop of Rome.) Constantine had by then already murdered Crispus (his son by his first wife) in 326, drowned his second wife in the bath, killed his eleven-year-old nephew, and then his brother-in-law. Both benefited enormously from this unholy alliance between Altar and Throne, the power of the Pulpit aligning with the terror of the Sword, a formidable foe that crushed all opposition. - The Prince of Carnal Life His Holiness (Sanctitas) Benedict XII throbbed for the sister of the great scholar, Petrarch, who rejected his offer of a cardinal's hat. This lusty pope still managed to bed this pretty lass by bribing her brother, Gerardo. " Petrarch described — anonymously, since he did not want to be burned — the papal court as 'the shame of mankind, a sink of vice, a sewer where is gathered all the filth of the world. There God is held in contempt, money alone is worshipped and the laws of God and men are trampled under foot. Everything there breathes a lie: the air, the earth, the houses and above all the bedrooms.' " - His Holiness Benedict IX was eleven years old in October 1032 when he became pope in the footsteps of his father Pope John XIX. His exploits with women brought an early puberty and by the time he was fourteen he had surpassed the exploits of all predecessors. St Peter Damain has this to say: " That wretch, from the beginning of his pontificate to the end of his life, feasted on immorality. " Another observer was more precise: " A demon from hell in the guise of a priest has occupied the Chair of Peter. " - His Holiness Alexander VI had two peculiarly bad habits. The first was that " he thought nothing of stealing a man's wife, raping her and tossing her into the Tiber. " The second was commissioning cardinals ( " Chief of Father " ) for a handsome fee. This was standard papal practise and we cannot censure enterprise. However, he had a peculiar habit of calling them over for sumptuous meals and poisoning them with arsenic — just to increase turnover. Now that is ungentlemanly. - Stephen VIII had his ears and nose cut off and never had any further public contact, for obvious reasons. - Leo X (1513-21) became cardinal at the age of thirteen. As a pope he " peddled cardinalities, created new offices sold to the highest bidders, and took the proceeds of the sale of indulgences to pay for his lavish excesses . . . " He is remembered for his appropriate observation: " Let us enjoy the papacy since God has given it to us. " - It was during the siege of Naples in the 15th. century that venereal disease is said to have made its first appearance. " No class seems to have been exempt from it. Sextus della Rovere, nephew [?] of Sextus IV., one of the wealthiest and most debauched ecclesiastics of the age, was 'rotten from his middle to the soles of his feet.' Even the haughty and majestic Julius II., [1503-13], would not expose his fee to the obeisance of the faithful because they were discolored by syphilis. Leo X., his accomplished and munificent successor, was said to have owed his elevation to the fact that he was in such a depraved state of body as to render necessary a surgical operation in the Consistorium while the election [for pope] was proceeding, the Cardinals selecting the most sickly candidate for the papal tiara. " - Pope John XXIII did not believe in the immortality of the soul, the resurrection of the dead and, probably, even the Almighty Creator. But then we have to be cautious and not pass harsh judgment, without looking at his psychological profile. After all, he was " a former pirate, pope-poisoner (poor Filargi), mass-murderer, mass-fornicator (with preference for nuns), adulterer on a scale unknown outside fables, simoniac par excellence, blackmailer, pimp, master of dirty tricks. " - Pope Boniface VIII had a colorful history of sexual adventures. " The pope was bisexual, and certainly catholic in his sexual tastes, having kept a married woman and her daughter as his bedfellows, as well as attempting to seduce a number of handsome young men, apparently with a good measure of success. He was quoted as saying that the sex act was `no more a sin than to rub your hands together.' " - Beatissimus Pater (Most Blessed Father), Urban VI " one of the most spiteful and vile-tempered of pontiffs " had three passions — drink, religion and revenge. The combination of three proved lethal to his foes, who met agonizing deaths in his torture chambers. Pope Alexander V also had three passions — food, servants and money. He was excessive in two and astounding in the other, namely servants. He kept more than four hundred of them — all female. - John Gratian, Archpriest of St John and godfather, advised Pope Benedict IX, that he was entitled to pursue his beautiful cousin and even took the trouble to find a suitable successor — himself. - His Holiness Sylvester was no saint. After divorcing his first wife he sired six children by the second. When she became jaded he dumped her and married a third from whom he had two daughters. In between he had another daughter by a concubine. " Childless by his fourth wife, when she died he kept four concubines — twelve was his life-long tally — and had at least one child by each. " - Women " were warned not to enter St John Lateran if they prized their honour. " Our Blessed Father John XII was always on the prowl. - Sanctissimus dominus noster (Our Most Holy Lord) John XII became pope at sixteen. He invented sins " not known since the beginning of the world, including sleeping with his mother. " He " even toasted the Devil. " - " No False Prophet ever went to God in a more embarrassing position. " John XII was twenty-four when an enraged husband caught him humping his wife " and gave him the last rites with one hammer blow on the back of his head. " His Holiness Pope Benedict VII also died under similar circumstances. - Clement VII, elected in 1342, had a knack for making his cronies happy, especially his cardinals, so that " they could afford the handsomest little boys — if they were so inclined — or the most beautiful ladies-in-waiting. " - The Most Blessed Father Benedict Gaetani was crowned Pope Boniface VIII in 1294 and was one of the most cruelest, bloodthirsty, sadistic, extravagant, corrupt, greedy, and licentious Vicar of Christ. Only the Devil could have blessed him with such a diabolical character and power. His papal tales of satanic madness are too numerous to quote here. May the quote below testifying to his Dracula- like remains be sufficient to jolt religious prisoners to their senses: " When, at the completion of the new St Peter's in 1605, his tomb had to be moved, it cracked open. To everyone's consternation, the pontiff's body, after three centuries, was incorrupt. Only his nose and lips had been slightly nibbled away. " - Another satanic sibling who loved pomp, flesh, and torture far more than anything else was the pet pupil of Satan, Our Most Holy Lord Pope Boniface. The Devil must have been in ecstasy just watching him excel in inflicting the most painful of death on Christian victims, and erotic pleasure on wanton women. - " Catholic belief and dogma is that if a man is validly elected by the authorized electors, the cardinals, then God automatically confers the plenitude of power directly on the pope-elect. " In 1046 Pope Clement II accompanied the German king Henry III to Italy where they found " three rival popes claiming the papacy " — Sylvester III, Benedict IX, and Gregory VI. Benedict's supporters poisoned His Holiness and " Benedict then appeared in Rome and installed himself as pope. " Jean Carrier, one of Benedict's cardinal " elected Bernard Garnier as Benedict XIV, who was thus an antipope countering an already reigning antipope. " Celestine II was " elected in December 1124 but resigned a few days later and is not counted in the official list of popes. " Damascus II died of malaria after 23 days but made the papal list. - Pope Paul IV, who hated Jews, drew up the Bull Cum nimis absurdum " stressed that the Christ-killers, the Jews, were by nature slaves and should be treated as such. " They were enclosed to a particular area called " ghetto, " after the Venetian Foundry. The good news of the Bull: Jews were not slaughtered wholesale. Bad news: Jews to sell their property to Christians at absurdly low prices; barred from commercial activity; had their books burnt; forced to wear yellow hats in public; speak only Italian or Latin; never to employ Christians; never to be addressed as " signor " or " sir, " even by beggars; only one synagogue per city; only one entrance per ghetto; all Jews to be locked at night. This anti-semitism tradition was carried on by Innocent III and the Fourth Council of the Lateran in 1215. " A succession of popes reinforced the ancient prejudices against Jews, treating them as lepers unworthy of the protection of the law. Pius VII was followed by Leo XII, Pius VIII, Gregory XVI, Pius IX — all good pupils of Paul IV. " Leo XII (1823-9) even forbade vaccination against smallpox during an epidemic. - During Pope Clement XIV's (1769-74) pontificate " there were four thousand murders in the city. " - Our Holy Father Pope Innocent VIII issued a Bull in December 1484 that considered the " outpourings of insane old women under torture were accepted as part of the Christian faith. " This set off the greatest genocide in human history. Hundreds of thousands of women were burnt for prolonging the winter, delaying harvest, causing stillborn births in both human and animals, loss of sexual appetite, and so forth. - Pope Marcellinus (296-304) was executed for offering sacrifices to idols and his headless body lay rotting in the street for twenty-six days before being buried. - Emperor Constans went to Rome to patch things up with Pope Vitalian (657-72.) He was knifed in his bath on the way back. - In 823 AD Rome, Theodorus the primicerius and Leo the nomenclator, were murdered in the papal palace. Pope Paschal defended the murderers and anathematized the victims, pronouncing their deaths to be acts of justice. - Pope Calixtus (199-217) was tossed to his death through a window by a drunken mob. - His Holiness Pope Sixtus XIII (1585-90) declared with infuriated vigour: " While I live, every criminal must die! " - The Most Blessed Father Pope Benedict XII loved inflicting pain and turned his palace into a vast torture chamber " with irregular walls off which the screams and shrieks of prisoners bounced back and forth into silence. " Clement VI " pillaged Cesena in 1377, where 4,000 anti- papal rebels were massacred. " Pope Stephen IV (768-72) tore out the eyes of an antipope and was incredibly cruel. He is today venerated as a saint in parts of Sicily. Popes maimed and were maimed, killed and were killed. Their lives bore no resemblance to the gospels. - In the early thirteen century the Church showed how it dealt with those who would not surrender to papal dogma during the so-called Albigensian Crusade, which devastated much of France in the process of theological cleansing. At first, it had attempted to reconvert the Albigenes through peaceful means. But when this failed Pope Innocent III ordered an armed Crusade which, within twenty years, wiped out hundreds of thousands of people and left only a few surviving bands of Albigenses hiding out in isolated areas. The Inquisition Office was still hunting these unfortunate people till as late as the fourteenth century. Simon de Montfort's massacre of the inhabitants of Beziers during this unholy Crusade demonstrated the cruelty which accused heretics received from the Roman Church as a matter of course. It was on this occasion, when asked how his soldiers could tell a heretic from a Christian, that de Montfort gave his infamous reply: " Slay them all. God knows his own. " - Pope Alexander was poisoned by his successor Our Most Holy Father John XXIII. - Pope Sergius III disposed and imprisoned Pope Christopher (who had earlier deposed pope Leo V in 903), subsequently having him strangled to death. - Pope Boniface VI was involved in the death of Pope Forsus, and in turn was murdered by his successor Stephen VI. - Pope Boniface VII imprisoned pope Benedict VI in June 974 before strangling him " by order of Crescentius. " He then imprisoned and presumably murdered former pope, John XIV. He in turn was murdered by a " vengeful Roman mob. " - Gregory I " paid fulsome compliments to the most vicious and brutal rulers of the time — Queen Brunichildis of Gaul (Epp., I, 74) and the Emperor Phocas (XIII, 31, 38, and 39) — when they promised to help the Church, and shockingly rejoiced in the murders of good men who opposed the Papacy. " - His Holiness Pope John XII (955-63) " was a true debauchee (referred to by some sources as an `incestuous satanist'), partially as a result of his pampered upbringing. John was allegedly fatally stricken (possibly apoplexy) in the midst of an adulterous act; he lingered eight days before expiring. " - Beatissimus Pater Pope Julius II was tall, handsome, and naturally, a great womanizer. Thus it was no surprise that " on Good Friday 1508 his Master of Ceremonies reported that his Holiness could not allow his foot to be kissed, 'quia totus erat ex morbo gallico ulcerous', 'it was completely riddled with syphilis'. " This was a disease very common among priests, a peculiar clerical health hazard. - Prostitutes gladly welcomed the clergy with open arms (and legs) since priests always paid premium rates for their sexual services. St Bridget made this remark to Pope Gregory: " The clergy are less priests of God than pimps of the devil. " - Giovanni de' Medici was an abbot at seven, cardinal at thirteen (the youngest ever) and pope at 37. Our Most Holy Lord Pope Leo X was peculiarly pious and had neither mistresses nor bastards. However, he was a latent homosexual, highly addicted to " those pleasures which cannot, with decency, be mentioned. " - Benedict IX (1032-44) gets a lot of votes for being the worst pope. " A depraved lecher infinitely more concerned with carnal pleasures than with the business of running the papacy . . . Like Nero, he achieved the extraordinary: Both managed to shock their contemporaries. " - Our Most Holy Lord Pope John XII " copulated with a long list of ladies, including his father's old flame and his own niece, " and ran a harem in the Lateran Palace. - Pius II acknowledged that Rome was " the only city in the world to be run by bastards " and successive popes made sure history recorded the era as the Golden Age of Bastards. The Most Blessed Father Borgia had ten illegitimate children from pretty Vanozza. Pope Julius II had three while still a cardinal. - Alexander VI's " eye for pretty woman was said to be infallible, even in old age. " From Giula Farnese, a ravishing 15 year-old beauty married to Orsino Orsini, he sired a daughter, Laura. " That is why Giulia became known throughout Italy as 'the Pope's Whore' and 'the Bride of Christ'. " By offering the pleasures of youth to his Holiness she secured a red hat for her brother, the future Paul III, who was thus nicknamed " The Petticoat Cardinal. " At the age of fifty-eight Alexander VI took another fresh mistress. - The False Prophet Pope Alexander VI (1492-1503) was another Borgia. Our Holy Father was " a debauchee whose spiritual concerns were almost entirely overshadowed by matters of flesh, gold, and aggrandizement. " He made his son Cesare a cardinal at the age of eighteen — even though he was not a priest. - On October 31, 1501 one of the most blasphemous acts in Vatican history took place in the heart of Christendom. " Cesare invited his favourite sister Lucrezia and the pope, the only other male present, to a festival called 'The Joust of the Whores.' Fifty of Rome's finest danced in increasingly scanty attire before finally disporting themselves naked around the pope's table . . . In a frenzied finale, the whores fell on their knees, scrambling in the rugs for chestnuts which the Borgias threw to them like hogs. " There were reliable rumors, perhaps for good reason, that His Holiness Pope Alexander VI " preferred an orgy to a high mass. " - Vatican life was never dull or wholly evangelical. There were authoritative tales of drunkenness and sexual orgies, some of which were truly inspired by Beelzebub. For example another Prince of Carnal Life, Pope Alexander VI, " was reputed to have had incestuous relations with his daughter, the gorgeous Lucrezzia. If so, and it is not certain, it was a record even for a Renaissance pope to have had sex with three generations of women: his daughter, her mother and her grandmother. " - And St. Bonaventure was absolutely right: " This harlot, he said, makes kings and nations drunk with the wine of her whoredoms. In Rome, he claimed to have found nothing but lust and simony, even in the top ranks of the church. Rome corrupts the prelates, they corrupt their clergy, the clergy corrupt the people.
