பரிசுத்தவான்களின் இரத்தத்தை குடிக்கும் கத்தோலிக்க சபை

வெளிப்படுத்தின விசேஷம் 17:6 - அந்த ஸ்திரீ பரிசுத்தவான்களின் இரத்தத்தினாலும் இயேசுவினுடைய சாட்சிகளின் இரத்தத்தினாலும் வெறிகொண்டிருக்கிறதைக் கண்டேன், அவளைக் கண்டு நான் மிகவும் ஆச்சரியப்பட்டேன்.

வெளிப்படுத்தின விசேஷம் 18:24 - தீர்க்கதரிசிகளுடைய இரத்தமும் பரிசுத்தவான்களுடைய இரத்தமும் பூமியில் கொல்லப்பட்ட அனைவருடைய இரத்தமும் அவளிடத்தில் காணப்பட்டது என்று விளம்பினான்.

வெளிப்படுத்தின விசேஷம் 19:2 - தன் வேசித்தனத்தினால் பூமியைக் கெடுத்த மகா வேசிக்கு அவர் நியாயத்தீர்ப்புக்கொடுத்து, தம்முடைய ஊழியக்காரரின் இரத்தத்திற்காக அவளிடத்தில் பழிவாங்கினாரே என்றார்கள்.

வெளிப்படுத்தின விசேஷம் 16:6 - அவர்கள் பரிசுத்தவான்களுடைய இரத்தத்தையும் தீர்க்கதரிசிகளுடைய இரத்தத்தையும் சிந்தினபடியினால், இரத்தத்தையே அவர்களுக்குக் குடிக்கக் கொடுத்தீர், அதற்குப் பாத்திரராயிருக்கிறார்கள் என்று சொல்லக்கேட்டேன்.

The Albigensian Crusade, 1209–1229 A.D, was a 20-year military campaign initiated by Pope Innocent III to eliminate the Albigenses in southern France. The Crusade was prosecuted primarily by the French crown resulting in a significant reduction in the number of Albigenses.

Between 1022 A.D and 1163 A.D, the Cathars were condemned by eight local church councils, the last of which, held at Tours, declared that all Albigenses should be put into prison and have their property confiscated.

The Third Lateran Council of 1179 repeated the condemnation. In 1208, Pope Innocent III declared a crusade against the Albigenses. He offered the lands of the Albigenses to any French nobleman willing to take up arms.

From 1540 A.D – 1570 A.D, Roman Catholic armies butchered at least 9,00,000 Waldensian Christians.

From 1681 - 1686, French Roman Catholic soldiers slaughtered around 5,00,000 French Protestant Huguenots on the orders of Roman Catholic King Louis XIV of France.

Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572 was a targeted group of assassinations and a wave of Catholic mob violence, directed against the Huguenots (French Calvinist Protestants) during the French Wars of Religion.

The slaughter began in Paris on the evening of St. Bartholomew's Day and spread to the countryside on the following days. Around 100,000 Huguenots were butchered in cold blood.

In 1233, a papal bull by Gregory IX established a new branch of the inquisition in Toulouse, France, to be led by the Dominicans. It was intended to prosecute Christian groups considered heretical, such as the Albigenses & Waldensians. 80% were Women.

Almost 90,00,000 Christians were killed in Witch trials & 80% of them were Women.

The period of the European witch trials, with the largest number of fatalities, seems to have occurred between 1560 and 1630 including the Trier witch trials (1581–1593), the Fulda witch trials (1603–1606), the Basque witch trials (1609-1611), the Würzburg witch trial (1626–1631), and the Bamberg witch trials (1626–1631). Also well-known were the Scottish North Berwick witch trials, Swedish Torsåker witch trials and, somewhat later, in 1692, the Salem witch trials in New England.

The Inquisition started in 12th-century France to combat religious dissent, in particular the Albigenses and Waldensians.

It expanded to other European countries, resulting in the Spanish Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition.

The Spanish and Portuguese operated inquisitorial courts throughout their empires in Africa, Asia, and the Americas resulting in the Peruvian Inquisition and Mexican Inquisition.

Even sources sympathetic to the Roman Church have accepted estimates in excess of 90,00,000.

The Holocaust was the World War II genocide of the European Jews. From 1938 A.D – 1945 A.D Catholic dictators such as Adolf Hitler and Monsignor Tiso (Catholic Priest) slaughter approximately 60,00,000 Jews in Europe prior to and during World War II.

A pogrom is a violent riot aimed at the massacre or persecution of an ethnic or religious group, particularly one aimed at Jews.

Papal bull issued by Pope Clement VIII on February 25, 1593
This papal bull expelled the Jews from the Papal States. The bull gave Jews three months to leave the Papal States.

Initially a war between various Protestant and Catholic states in the fragmented Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a more general conflict involving most of the European great powers.

The war was preceded by the election of the new Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, who forced Roman Catholicism on its people. Ferdinand's policies were considered strongly pro-Catholic & anti-Protestant.

The northern Protestant states, angered by the violation of their rights to religious liberty, which had been granted in the Peace of Augsburg, banded together to form the Protestant Union.

The French Wars of Religion were a prolonged period of war and popular unrest between Roman Catholics and Huguenots (Reformed/Calvinist Protestants) in France between 1562 and 1598 A.D.

It is estimated that 40,00,000 people perished in this period from violence, famine, or disease in what is considered the second deadliest religious war in European history.

The Persecution of Serbs in Croatia, also known as the Genocide of the Serbs included the extermination, expulsion and forced religious conversion to Roman Catholicism of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Serbs by the genocidal policies of the Catholic Ustashe regime in Croatia between 1941 and 1945, during World War II.

The Catholic Ustashe regime systematically murdered approximately 500,000 Serbs according to current estimates.

Jozef Tiso (13 Oct 1887 – 18 Apr 1947) was a Roman Catholic priest & President of Slovakia who governed the Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany during World War II, from 1939 to 1945. After the war, he was executed in 1947 for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Bratislava.

The Holocaust in Slovakia

The Holocaust in Slovakia was the systematic dispossession, deportation, and murder of Jews in the Slovak State during World War II.

A total of 68,000 to 71,000 Slovak Jews were murdered.

The Crusades (nine of them) were a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church in the medieval period.

The most commonly known Crusades are the campaigns in the Eastern Mediterranean aimed at recovering Jerusalem from Muslim rule, but the term crusade is also applied to other church-sanctioned campaigns.

This is perhaps the most important papal act relating to Portuguese colonisation.

தானியேல் 11:39 - அவன் அரணிப்பான கோட்டைகளுக்காகவும், அந்நிய தேவனுக்காகவும் செய்வது என்னவென்றால், அவைகளை மதிக்கிறவர்களுக்கு மகா கனமுண்டாக்கி, அவர்கள் அநேகரை ஆளும்படிச் செய்து, அவர்களுக்குத் தேசத்தைக் கிரயத்துக்காகப் பங்கிடுவான்.

World War I (First World War), was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 Nov 1918.

On 28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb Yugoslav nationalist, assassinated the Austro-Hungarian heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, leading to the July Crisis.

In response, on 23 July Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia. Serbia's reply failed to satisfy the Austrians, and the two moved to a war footing.

Excerpt: Secret History of the Jesuits by Edmond Paris

The pope agrees with Austria (Catholic) dealing severely with Serbia (Orthodox). He doesn't think much of the Russian (Orthodox) and French (heretic) armies and is of the opinion that they could not do very much in a war against Germany (Catholic). The cardinal-secretary of State doesn't see when Austria could make war if she does not decide now.

Yet, when the Allies signed the Treaty of Versailles, in July 1919, they were so conscious of the part played by the Vatican in the conflict that it was carefully kept away from the conference table. And, even more surprising, it was the most Catholic State, Italy, which had insisted on its exclusion.

Excerpt: Secret History of the Jesuits by Edmond Paris

The Catholic "Zentrum" of Monsignor Kass assured, by its massive vote, the dictatorship of Nazism (Hitler).

Mein Kampf: this book, an insolent challenge to the western democracies, was written by the Jesuit Father Staempfle and signed by Hitler.

I can see Himmler as our Ignatius of Loyola.

Read what the press of the Spanish dictator, Franco, published following Hitler's death. It said, Adolf Hitler, son of the Catholic Church, died while defending Christianity. It goes on to say, Over his mortal remains stands his victorious moral figure. With the palm of the martyr, God gives Hitler the laurels of Victory.

Hitler himself stated, I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits. Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organization of the Catholic church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party.
