An inscription in the Vatican
states plainly, "He who will not eat of my body, nor drink of my blood, so that
he may be one with me and I with him, shall not be saved." This is not terribly
surprising, unless you consider that this is inscribed on the remains of the
temple the Vatican was built on- one dedicated to the God Mithras.
Mithras was a solar deity whose worshippers called him redeemer; his
religion died out not long after the advent of Christ...
The Thruth about Easter

Each year in the springtime,
the mainstream Christian world celebrates a holiday called "Easter." Many assume
that this holiday originated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ but as the
information provided here will demonstrate that this spring tradition of men is
actually or an older and far less 'holy' than one would imagine. The following
quotes have been derived from several valid and even scholarly sources. The
purpose is to unveil the trut...
Ancient Origins of Christmas
This article was first
printed at Zenzibar on December 17, 2000.
Many of our modern Christmas
traditions began hundreds of years before Christ was born. Some of these
traditions date back more than 4000 years. The addition of Christ to the
celebration of the winter solstice did not occur until 300 years after Christ
died and as late as 1800, some devout Christian sects, like the Puritans,
forbade their members from celebrating Christmas because it was considered a
pagan holiday....
Secret Archives of the Vatican
You would think that the Vatican's Secret Archives would be some dumb
conspiracy theory. I mean, it sounds ridiculous. The Vatican's Secret Archives.
Let it roll off your tongue. Surely, we're into serious conspiracy weirdness here.Except, of course, that there really is such a thing. And it's pretty much
exactly what you think it is.
There are a lot of reasons for an organization like the Catholic Church to
have Secret Archives. After all, they've been in the conspiracy business f...
Mystery of The Jesus Papers
By
Sara James
What if everything you think
you know about Jesus is wrong? Author Michael Baigent makes controversial
assertions in his new book. Michael Baigent is investigating a grisly crime.
He’s tracking down leads, digging for clues, and trying to shed new light on a
cold case— a case that is 2,000 years old. And this isn’t just any case: It is
perhaps, the most well known story in history—the crucifixion of Jesus. Sara
James, Dateline correspondent: You believe that much o...
The Trial of Jesus - An Account
By Doug Linder (2002)
Providing an account of the
trial of Jesus presents challenges unlike that for any of the other trials on
the Famous Trials Website. First, there is the challenge of determining what
actually happened nearly 2,000 years ago before the Sanhedrin and the Roman
prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate. The task is daunting because almost our
entire understanding of events comes from five divergent accounts, each of
which was written by a Christian (who did not witnes...
Reality of The Inquisition
Arthur Maricle
"And I saw the woman drunken with the
blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw
her, I wondered with great admiration." {Revelation
17:6} Those who classify themselves as Christians can
be divided into 2 broad groups: those who have chosen to allow the Bible to be
their final authority and those who have chosen to allow men to be their final
authority. For sake of simplicity, I shall refer to the first group as "B...
Roman Catholicism - Christian or Pagan?
The Roman Catholic Church, headquartered in
Rome, Italy, has its own powerful City-State, the Vatican, and claims over 968
million members worldwide and 60 million in the U.S. and Canada (as of 1996).
(Catholic membership figures are considerably misleading, though, in that they
count as members every person who has been baptized Catholic, including millions
of people who were baptized as infants but who are not practicing Catholics.)
The Roman Catholic Church, in its pagan form,...
Stigmata Phenomena

Catholic Encyclopedia © 2007 by Kevin Knight
Mystical Stigmata:
To decide merely the facts without deciding whether
or not they may be explained by supernatural causes, history tells us that many
ecstatics bear on hands, feet, side, or brow the marks of the Passion of Christ
with corresponding and intense sufferings. These are called visible stigmata.
Others only have the sufferings, without any outward marks, and these phenomena
are called invisible stigmata.
Facts:

The Fatima Apparitions, Prophecies and the Cover-ups
In 1917, in the village of Fatima, about 70 miles
north of Lisbon in Portugal, three peasant children reported seeing an
apparition of the "Blessed Virgin Mary". They were 8-yr. old Lucia Santos, and
her cousins Francesco and Jacinta Marto. On Sunday May 13, 1917, the visions
began. They were told to return on the 13th of each month for six consecutive
months. This they did, and received prophetic information from the visits. On
the last visit, Oct. 13, 1917, they and 70,...
