"Every cleric must obey the Pope, even if he commands what is evil; for no
one may judge the Pope." Pope Innocent III (1198-1216)
Simultaneously, the pope is king over the independent nation Vatican City.
The Vatican is a distinct sovereign miniature nation, although within Italy.
Thus, the papacy is a unique power combining religious and civil power.
(2) The Roman Catholic Church came to power in a densely populated area of
the world:
This perfectly illustrates the Roman Catholic Church as she rose amidst the
various powers and nations of Europe.
(3) The history of the Roman Catholic Church is full of deception:
Informed Catholics readily confirm forgeries as a way of life for the
popes. Hans Kung, a Catholic priest and theologian who was a consultant to the
Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), stated that as early as the fifth century,
the popes "decisively extended their power with explicit forgeries." The
Catholic Church: A Short History (translated by John Bowden), p. 61
One of the best examples is the document Donation of Constantine, dated
March 30, 315 AD, which the Roman Catholic Church forged to extend her power and
authority. Through this false document, Pope Stephen III in the eighth century
convinced Pepin, king of the Franks, that the territories of the Lombards had
been given by Constantine to the Roman Catholic Church. This led Pepin to fight
the Lombards and usurp the cities for the pope. In 1440, this document was
proven forged by a papal aide called Lorenzo Valla, yet pope after pope never
admitted nor confessed this forgery. To this day, there is an inscription in the
baptistery of St. John Lateran in Rome perpetuating this forged document.
Pope calls for a new world order:
