American Revolution

[Amishism]

Catholics were legal to practice in public and hold public office after the American Revolution separated the colonies from England where Catholics were still banned from holding public office, for fear of a monarchy under the Pope.

Maryland
From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland#History
In 1629, George Calvert, 1st Lord Baltimore in the Irish House of Lords, fresh from his failure further north with Newfoundland's Avalon colony, applied to Charles I for a new royal charter for what was to become the Province of Maryland. Calvert's interest in creating a colony derived from his Catholicism and his desire for the creation of a haven for Catholics in the new world.

On March 25, 1634, Lord Baltimore sent the first settlers into this area. Although most of the settlers were Protestants, Maryland soon became one of the few regions in the British Empire where Catholics held the highest positions of political authority. Maryland was also one of the key destinations of tens of thousands of British convicts. The Maryland Toleration Act of 1649 was one of the first laws that explicitly dictated religious tolerance, though toleration was limited to Trinitarian Christians.

After Virginia made the practice of Anglicanism mandatory, a large number of Puritans migrated from Virginia to Maryland, and were given land for a settlement called Providence (now Annapolis). In 1650, the Puritans revolted against the proprietary government and set up a new government that outlawed both Catholicism and Anglicanism.

The Puritan revolt lasted until 1658. In that year the Calvert family regained control of the colony and re-enacted the Toleration Act. However, after England's "Glorious Revolution" of 1688, when William of Orange and his wife Mary came to the throne and firmly established the Protestant faith in England, Catholicism was again outlawed in Maryland, until after the American Revolutionary War. Many wealthy plantation owners built chapels on their land so they could practice their Catholicism in relative secrecy. During the persecution of Maryland Catholics by the Puritan revolutionary government, all of the original Catholic churches of southern Maryland were burned down.

also interesting:

The royal charter granted Maryland the Potomac River and territory northward to the fortieth parallel. This proved a problem when Charles II granted a charter for Pennsylvania, because the grants (which were made using an inaccurate map) overlapped. Maryland's northern boundary would put Philadelphia, the major city in Pennsylvania, partially within Maryland, while Pennsylvania's southern boundary would encompass much of Maryland, resulting in conflict between the Calvert family, which controlled Maryland, and the Penn family, which controlled Pennsylvania. This led to the Cresap's War (also known as the Conojocular War), a border conflict between Pennsylvania and Maryland, fought in the 1730s. Hostilities erupted in 1730 with a series of violent incidents prompted by disputes over property rights and law enforcement, and escalated through the first half of the decade, culminating in the deployment of military forces by Maryland in 1736 and by Pennsylvania in 1737. The armed phase of the conflict ended in May 1738 with the intervention of King George II, who compelled the negotiation of a cease-fire. A final settlement was not achieved until 1767, when the Mason-Dixon Line was recognized as the permanent boundary between the two colonies.

George W Bush meets Pope amid claims he might convert to Catholicism

By Malcolm Moore in Rome
13/06/2008

George W Bush and Pope Benedict XVI have held an intimate meeting in Rome as rumours mounted in Italy that the president may follow in Tony Blair's footsteps and convert to Catholicism.

"Several Italian newspapers cited Vatican sources suggesting that Mr Bush may be prepared to convert. One source told Il Foglio, an authoritative newspaper, that "Anything is possible, especially for a born-again Christian such as Bush."


He has repeatedly made clear his admiration for Benedict and has even claimed to have read some of the pope's theological books.


A source close to the Vatican said that Mr Bush was the most "Catholic-minded" president since John F Kennedy, who famously played down his Catholicism. Mr Bush belongs to a Methodist church in Texas and prays at an Episcopal church in Washington.


However, George William Rutler, a New York-based priest who is close to the president, was quoted by the Washington Post earlier this year saying that Mr Bush "is not unaware of how evangelism, by comparison with Catholicism, may seem more limited both theologically and historically".


Mr Bush has filled the White House with Catholic speech-writers and consultants and is also thought to have asked a Catholic priest to bless the West Wing.


Before he became president, Karl Rove, his former political adviser, invited Catholic intellectuals to Texas to lecture the candidate on the church's teachings. Mr Bush appointed the Catholic judges Samuel Alito and John Roberts to the Supreme Court.


However, it is thought unlikely that Mr Bush would convert until after he has left office. Jeb Bush, the president's brother, has already converted to Catholicism.


Catholics have noted that during the contested election in 2000, Jeb Bush travelled to Mexico and prayed to the icon of Our Lady of Guadelupe. His victory was announced by the Supreme Court on December 12, the feast day of the Lady of Guadelupe.

British P.M. Would Consider Ending Bar to Catholic Monarch

London, Mar. 26, 2008 (CWNews.com)

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will allow reconsideration of the Act of Settlement, which bars Catholics from the throne, the Herald newspaper reports.

The Act of Settlement, passed in 1701, stipulates that neither a Roman Catholic nor the spouse of a Catholic may wear the crown. The legislation has regularly been denounced by Catholic leaders as an instance of blatant religious discrimination.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, responding to criticism from Church leaders, admitted that the anti-Catholic legislation should be re-examined. But Blair's ability to provide leadership on the issue may have been compromised by the fact that his own wife was Catholic, and he was frequently rumored to be considering entry into the Catholic Church. (Blair did, in fact, enter the Church shortly after resigning his government leadership post.) In any event, the Act of Settlement remained intact during his term.

Brown, however, has said that he is prepared to entertain proposals for constitutional reform, including an end to the ban on Catholic monarchs.

An amendment to the Act of Settlement could require careful consideration. Under existing law, the British monarch is the legal head of the Church of England.

There's no need to speculate when there are facts saying a result of the revolution was legalizing Catholicism in the first amendment of the US Constitution, not allowed under British American rule. This was not only the result of the war, but the cause, not the small tax alleged to be the cause. It's been the Catholics(papacy) ruling over this Protestant nation every since.

There are several books that document this much more;

There are a few movies about the struggle for the English crown. Shows the struggle between the Catholics and Protestans for the crown, and attemps to kill the queen because she wasn't Catholic. The state of Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth, who was known as the virgin queen, I guess because she remained unmarried. She couldn't marry because all the other European monarchs were Catholic.

Amish,

You seen this?  I posted it in another thread but it seems it could also belong here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I actually didn't know where to put this (mods - feel free to move it) but it is CERTAINLY most interesting.  Especially since Bushie's buddy Blair converted already.

One would think that Benedict would want to keep this a little bit under the table, so to speak....given Dubya's current standing in world opinion.

[Defend America]

My parents told me I was a Catholic, I did not like the concept of priests and sacraments so I looked around for something else and took up with Islam, at about age thirty two, twenty six years ago.

For me Islam consists entirely of reading The Koran from time to time, once or twice per week on average, and endeavoring to live by the precepts therein, I have never been inside a Mosque and have no mind ever to go into one, I do not know which direction Mecca is from home, and I don't ever expect to go there.

The Koran tells believers to, "...hurl truth at falsehood," I do just that, 911 was an inside job.

The irony is seeing the vast numbers of the faithful attending the pilgrimage to Mecca, they all have a good time, many go back year after year, yet they don't find the time to do as it says and hurl truth at falsehood, else there would be truth all over the internet.

So what kind of Moslems are they, fair weather sailors is probably an apt description, else I have missed something.

Similarly I do not evangelize in favor of Islam, and what others believe or choose to disbelieve is their business entirely.

It does mean that when I prosecute abortion under the capital provisions described in The Koran, all the guilty will be sentenced under Islamic Law whether they are Moslems or not.

O.K. but don't you think maybe that the ZIONISTS also control the vatican?

[White Rose Sophie]

O.K. but don't you think maybe that the ZIONISTS also control the vatican?

Unfortunately, then you go back to "Zionists are the Top of the Pyramid" thread.

Personally, I believe OCCULTISTS control the NWO - they are all basically adherents of the Mystery Babylon religion which is now called Theosophy...whether they wear "Catholic" cloaks, "Jewish" cloaks, or "Muslim" cloaks.  What binds them all together is the highest level of Freemasonry...which is where their loyalty lies.  There is ample evidence in their own words of the ties between Catholicism, Talmudism, and Freemasonry.  The "Marian" worship of Catholicism is nothing more than disguised worship of Ishtar.

Here are just a few examples of the continual evolution of pagan practices brought into the Roman Catholic Church, starting in 310 A.D.:

    Prayers for the dead were introduced in 310
    The lighting of candles in 320
    The worship of saints about 375
    The mass was adopted in 394
    The worship of Mary began to develop about 432
    Priests began to assume distinctive robes in 500
    The doctrine of purgatory was introduced in 593
    Worship in Latin (since repealed) was mandated in 600
    Claims to Papal Supremacy took firm foot in 606
    Feasts in honor of the Virgin Mary began in 650
    The custom of kissing the Pope's foot was introduced in 709
    The worship of images and relics was authorized in 788
    The invention of holy water was about 850
    The canonization of saints was formalized in 993
    Feasts for the dead were introduced in 1003
    The celibacy of the priesthood was declared in 1074
    The dogma of Papal infallibility was announced in 1076
    Prayer beads were introduced in 1090
    The doctrine that there are seven sacraments was introduced in 1140
    The sale of indulgences began in 1190
    The wafer was substituted for the loaf in 1200
    The dogma of transubstantiation was adopted in 1215
    Confession was instituted in 1215
    The adoration of the Wafer began in 1220
    The Ave Maria was introduced in 1316
    The cup was taken from the laity in 1415
    Purgatory was officially decreed in 1439
    Roman tradition was placed on the same level as Scripture in 1546
    The Apocrypha was received into the Canon in 1546
    The immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary was announced in 1854
    The doctrine of the papal infallibility was proclaimed in 1864
    The personal corporeal presence of the Virgin in heaven in 1950

On describing a picture of the "Celestial Virgin" in his book "Secret Teachings of All the Ages" by Manly P Hall (33 degree Mason) he writes:

"In the view of the theologian, the Madonna who gives birth to the Man Child signifies the priority of the mother aspect of Divinity ... The oval nimbus in which the figure stands, represents the glorification of the Creative Power as exemplified in motherhood. The Christ Child always symbolizes Wisdom, the Virgin Mother, Faith. The figure, therefore, declares that Wisdom, born of Faith, shall redeem the world now encircled by the serpent of evil."

Interesting, ain't it?

Yep, it is!

[White Rose Sophie]

Yep, it is!

One only has to look at Tony Blair's 'conversion', and the gossip about Bushie's possible 'conversion' to realize that the Roman Catholic church plays a huge part in the ENGAME.  Does that mean that average, everyday, devout Catholics have any inkling of it?  Nope - no more than the average, everyday Mason knows about the true agenda of their highest level leaders.

Truly, the age of DECEPTION is here and now.

[Amishism]

The USA has been ruled by the pope since the beginning to degrees, DC always. Before under the British colonies Catholicism and the Pope was banned.


Whenever the American Revolution is brought up, wherever, they talk about who fought. Some Americans called "Sons of Liberty" fought the British, but why?



Simply because the pope sent the Freemasons over to infiltrate...well, first they setup a Catholic colony, Maryland. Catholicism was banned in all the other colonies, and England under a protestant crown.


The Freemasons acting as the Knights for the pope made war with the british crown to separate from the colonies.


From then on the pope was to rule over the new united States of America. They moved the capital from Pennsylvania to Marylands crotch, DC, instigated the civil war, then built the Pentagon and we've seen nothing but one war after another every since.

WHEN CHRISTMAS WAS ILLEGAL

The Pilgrims interpreted the Bible literally, and nothing in the Scriptures mentioned having a good time at Christmas.

December 25th of 1620, the first Christmas spent in the New World by the Mayflower Pilgrims, was devoted to hard labor! The Pilgrims utilized all their holiday energies felling trees "in order to avoid any frivolity on the day sometimes called Christmas."

On May 11, 1659, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the colonial legislature made Christmas illegal: "Whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas . . . shall pay for every offense five shilling."

To Robert Brown and his Pilgrim associates, Christmas was nothing more than "a popish frivolity" at its best, and the "dreadful work of Satan" in their midst, at worst. And highest on any reliable and trustworthy Pilgrim's list of intolerable things was any holiday smacking of Roman Catholicism.

So in 1681, Christmas could finally be celebrated without dire consequences in the Massachusetts colony. Yet the Pilgrim chill on the holiday persisted for another 175 years. Children in that area of New England were still made to attend school on Christmas Day. This rule applied in Massachusetts up until 1856.

What was the capitol of the colonies in Pennsylvania becomes the United States capitol and relocates to Washington D.C., within Maryland.

Maryland was one of the thirteen colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. On February 2, 1781, Maryland became the 13th state to approve the ratification of the Articles of Confederation which brought into being the United States as a united, sovereign and national state. It also became the seventh state admitted to the US after ratifying the new Constitution. The following year, in December 1790, Maryland ceded land selected by President George Washington to the federal government for the creation of Washington, D.C.. The land provided to Washington, D.C. is actually "sitting" inside the state of Maryland.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland#History


Pennsylvania says this about their new capitol building: "The new state Capitol drew rave reviews. Its dome was inspired by the domes of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the United States Capitol." Thus, it is admitted the capitol was modeled on capitoline hill Rome.


History of Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C. (formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C.) is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790.

James Madison explained the need for a federal district on January 23, 1788 in the Federalist No. 43, arguing that the national capital needed to be distinct from the states, in order to provide for its own maintenance and safety.[4] An attack on the Congress at Philadelphia in June 1783 by a mob of angry soldiers had emphasized the need for the government to see to its own security.

The Constitution, however, does not specify a location for the new capital. In what later became known as the Compromise of 1790, Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson came to an agreement that the federal government would assume war debt carried by the states, on the condition that the new national capital would be located in the South Maryland.

THE MASONIC SEAL OF AMERICA

First of all I will interpret the latin words on the seal. 'Annuit Coeptis' means 'Announcing The Birth Of' and 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' means 'New World Order'. So therefore it says 'Announcing the birth of the New World Order'. The date in roman numerals is 1776, the year the modern Illuminati was formed and also the year of American independence. The latin 'E Pluribus Unum' means 'One out of many' which is the foundation of the New World Order's plan to unify the world's governments, religions and money systems into one so the world can be controlled.

There is a cry in Freemasonry today that the eye in the pyramid is not a Masonic symbol and it never was. At Masonicinfo there is a page which states "the eye in the pyramid is not now nor has it ever been a Masonic symbol." The author says that he has looked for 3 years for use of this symbol in Freemasonry and has only found 2 examples. I have been inside about 4 Masonic Lodges and 2 of them including the first I went to used the eye in the pyramid, the first one very prominently. So I know this to be Masonic lies. On another Masonic page entitled 'The Eye In The Pyramid' we read "The Great Seal of the United States is not a Masonic emblem, nor does it contain hidden Masonic symbols." Remember the quote above by one of Freemasonry's highly esteemed men stating it "discloses a mass of occult and masonic symbols..." Who are we to believe, Freemasonry's GREATEST scholar and philosopher or some other man in Freemasonry with no such credentials. Let me once and for all establish the eye in the pyramid is Masonic. The image below is taken from 'The New Age' magazine which was the official publication of the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree of Freemasonry, the most powerful Masonic organization in the America if not the world. It is now called the 'Scottish Rite Journal'. It is from April 1960 and it clearly states that the $1 note is covered in Masonic symbols and it also states "Pyramid with the Masonic All Seeing Eye"


(Excerpted from United Symbolism of America by Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D.)

Freemasons did not officially use the all-seeing eye as one of their symbols until several decades after the approval of the U.S. Great Seal. Likewise the pyramid. It’s more a case of the Great Seal influencing the Masons to adopt these symbols than the Masons influencing the symbols used in the Great Seal. Masons do not usually depict their all-seeing eye encased in a triangle, but rather floating alone among clouds, just as a lot of Christians do. Masons have long admired pyramids as incredible structures built by ancient stone masons, but they did not become popular on regalia until after the adoption of the Great Seal. Masonic symbolism and popular American symbolism run parallel sometimes, choosing as they did from the same pool, but the pyramid with the eye in the triangle above it is not a Masonic symbol. It was not an Illuminati symbol. It was not an Egyptian, Phoenician, Babylonian or any other kind of symbol. It was designed by an American, and a non-Mason, Charles Thomson. The reverse of the Great Seal is an American symbol.













“[Jesuit Adam] Weishaupt established the [modern version of the] Illuminati specifically to be a front organization behind which the Jesuits could hide. After being [formally] abolished by [Pope] Clement XIV in 1773, the Jesuits used the Illuminati and other organizations to carry out their operations. Thus, the front organizations would be blamed for the trouble caused by the Jesuits.”

It is all Egyptian in origin.... but you knew that all ready right Amishism?

"The Temple of Man is a monumental product of intellect, scholarship, and exploration into the 'pharaonic mentality' of Ancient Egypt. There is no work more ambitious in seeking to render accessible the consciousness of a time and place remote from and extremely alien to our own. The sufficiently careful and aware reader can actually take on enough of the mindset being described as to arrive at states of consciousness unlike any experienced by contemporary people. It then becomes possible to glimpse that extraordinary 'mentality' which cast in Egypt a spell of luminous fascination still potent after thousands of years."
