Vatican multi million dollars industry loose steam

The donations were down 18 per cent in 2010.  Still the Vatican collected 341 million USD, and made a profit. 

Less money was collected for the Papacy in 2010. Still the Pope and his staff made a handsome profit.

The Vatican has returned to profit after three years in the red.

But the donations from the faithful fell nearly euro15 million (USD 22 million), or 18 percent. The reason is tough economic times and a year in which the priest sex abuse scandal exploded.

The Vatican issued its annual financial report Saturday, saying it made a profit of euro 9.85 million (USD 14.3 million).

In 2010 following a loss of euro 4.01 million (USD 5.8 million) a year earlier and losses in 2007 and 2008.

Revenues were euro 245.2 million (USD 356.1 million) against expenses of euro 235.35 million (USD 341.8 million).

In a statement, the Vatican said the results showed a continuing positive trend that began in 2009 but was hampered then by the effects of the global financial downturn.

The separately administered Vatican city state also turned a euro 21.04 million (USD 30.6 million) profit, thanks primarily to booming ticket sales at the Vatican Museums.

But donations from individuals worldwide, the so-called Peter’s Pence, were down US USD14.8 million at US USD 67.70 million in 2010, an 18 percent drop from the year before. No explanation was given in the statement.

The abuse scandal also erupted in 2010 in Europe, traditionally a top source of donations after the U.S. Tens of thousands of people have either formally or informally left the Catholic Church in the wake of reports that priests sexually abused thousands of young people and bishops covered up the crimes.

My comment:

Jesus was not to happy with people who turned the Temple in Jerusalem into a market place. He tilted their tables, and drove them out.

To run “a Church” as a business unit, is another example of the wickedness of men.

That the Vatican has “returned to profit” is a message that confirm that the papists are a group of people who have made a religion to make profit.
   

2 Corinthians 2:17
Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.

Pope saved by Mussolini backed Nazi-Germany

Pope Pius XII would not have been «pope», if Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini had not brought the Papal system back to Rome after 59 years in exile.

 

Cardinal Pacelli (seated, center, later Pope Pius XII) at the signing of the Reichskonkordat on 20 July 1933 in Rome with (from left to right): German prelate Ludwig Kaas, German Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen, Secretary of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs Giuseppe Pizzardo, Alfredo Ottaviani, and Reich minister Rudolf Buttmann.

Pope Benedict XVI has moved Pope Pius XII closer to Catholic sainthood. The World War II pontiff has been criticized for not doing enough to stop the Holocaust. Even if the Pope was silent during the Holocaust, as a Cardinal he was more than active in deal making with the Fascists in Italy and Nazis in Germany.

What is the claimed authority of the Pope of Rome?

The Pontiff in Rome claims to be the successor to the Apostle Peter, who the Roman Catholic Church claim was the first Bishop of Rome. The popes claims to sit in the authoritative seat of Peter. Its called «Apostolic succession».

 

The present Pope pray at the memorial of Pope Pius XII in the Vatican.

Few people are aware that this «Apostolic succession» was broken for 59 years.

There was no Catholic Bishop in Rome in the years from 1870 to 1929. The Pope had been ousted from Rome and sent in internal exile to Castle of Gaeta, 120 kilometer south of Rome.

How could God permit this to happen to His «infallible Pope»?

The reason for the ousting was people being sick and tired of the papal tyranny. The Pope was not banished from «The Holy city of Rome» by a dictator or sulky King. He was told to leave in 1870 by a referendum in the city, a popular vote that eventually resulted in the revocation of Roman Catholicism as state religion in Italy.

The Pope was sent in exile to this castle in 1870. He did not return to Rome before 1929.


So, how did the Pope manage to get back into Rome 59 years after He was forced out of the city?

The Pope was saved by the Fascists.

The savior of the Pope was Benito Mussolini. He came to power by violence, following the «March on Rome» in 1922. As late as 1927, Mussolini was baptized by a Catholic priest. This was done to silence Catholic opposition to the planned deal of making peace with Fascism in exchange for the Vatican state in 1929.

The dictator chose the Roman Catholic Church as his partner. In exchange for establishment of the Vatican statehood in 1929, the Pope promised to support Mussolini. Roman Catholicism was reinforced as the state religion in Rome and Italy.

What was Pope Pius XII relationship with the Fascist dictator?

Before he became Pope his name was Cardinal Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli.

Pacelli was made a Cardinal-Priest of Santi Giovanni e Paolo on 16 December 1929 by Pope Pius XI, and within a few months, on 7 February 1930, Pius XI appointed him Cardinal Secretary of State.

Pope Pius XII carried around like an Earthly King. In grave contrast to Jesus who came riding on a donkey.

It was Pacelli`s job to keep the Papal promise of supporting the Fascist dictator.

Since Fascist Italy linked up with Nazi-Germany, the Pope of Rome gave cardinal Pacelli the task of making a deal with the Nazi-Dictator Adolph Hitler.

«The Reichskonkordat» between Germany and the Vatican state was signed on 20 July 1933. It gave the Roman Catholic Church special status inside Nazi-Germany, like the right to publish Catholic publication, freedom for Catholic Schools and Church related activities.

The deal the Roman Catholic Church made with the Fascists in Italy and the Nazis in Berlin, makes this church less than holy.

Its also worth mentioning that Cardinal Pacelli became Pope on March 2nd 1939.

Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, papal nuncio to Germany, talks with Hitler in 1936.

After the Kristallnacht 8th an 9th of November 1938, Pius could no longer claim to be unaware of Hitlers intentions in regards to the Jews, Still Pope Pius XII ordered his Archbishop in Berlin to send greetings Hitler on his birthday 20th of April 1939.

Skull of claimed Italian saint auctioned for 5000 USD

An anonymous California bidder bought the purported head of Roman Catholic St. Vitalis of Assisi.  

The head of a claimed Italian saint ended up in Ireland. Now it will move to California.

The head of the 14th century hermit and the patron saint of genital and urinary diseases, was sold at auction to an anonymous California phone bidder for 5.000 USD on Sunday 29th of May.

Who is this saint?

This is from the Catholics own records:

 Saint Vitalis of Assisi (Italian: San Vitale de Assisi) (1295 – May 31, 1370) was an Italian hermit and monk.
Assisi is honored in Roman Catholic Church Feast May 31 Patronage patron against sicknesses and diseases affecting the genitals.

Auctioneer Damien Matthews received 100 bids before the sale even started.  It took less than a minute for the Californian buyer to seal the deal at USD 5,000.

That the auctioned skull is the remains of Saint Vitalis, is a matter of dispute.

This is what the Irish Times has recorded:

 Despite living an early life marked by immorality and corruption, he was beatified after his death in 1370.

 Auctioneer Damian Matthews, who will put the macabre item under the hammer on Sunday, said while he cannot be certain it is the head of a saint, “it’s certainly ancient, and it’s certainly the head of someone”.

 The auction takes place at Annesbrook House in Duleek.

It is said that he wore only rags and shunned all material wealth, with the exception of a basket which he used to fetch water from a nearby stream. He died in 1370, and word of his sanctity soon spread due to reports of numerous miracles performed on those with bladder and genital disorders.

It is unclear exactly how his head may have ended up in Ireland.

My comment:

The unknown origin of this head, only gave it a price tag of 5000 USD.

If the collectors had been able to know for sure that this is not the skull of a simple village idiot, I am sure many Catholics would have paid through their teeth to get this “holy item”.

There is an obvious problem with such “holy relics”:

What if the head was stolen, or is not of the religious Italian man at all?

Will there still be miracles available, for those who can put this skull on top of their cupboard?

Suppose the buyer is a Satanist, who will use it to play indoor football?

Will the skull than loose it’s power to create miracles?

Some collect snakes, other’s prefer skulls. People surely collect a lot of strange items.

  Matthew 23:27
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.

“Catholics who don’t take the Eucharist are not proper Christians”

Only five percent of Catholics in Dublin go for mass. “Those who do not take the Eucharist are not proper Christians, claims Archbishop Diarmuid Martin.

Pope Benedict and Archbioshop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin excommunicate people who do not "eat" the Catholic copy Jesus.

Ireland is no longer a proper “Christian nation”. This is the claim form Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin.

“Now it is true Sunday Mass attendance is not the only statistic which indicates an affiliation with the Church and with the mission of Jesus Christ. But it is hardly possible to remain truly a Christian if one has no contact over years with the Eucharist. This is why the Eucharistic Congress can offer an important contribution in the path of renewal.”

Archbishop Diarmuid Martin are concerned that so few Catholics in Ireland attend mass, that the nations have hardly any “Christians” left.

“Many outside of Ireland still believe that Ireland is a bastion of traditional Catholicism,” Archbishop Martin said.

“They are surprised to discover that there are parishes in Dublin where the presence at Sunday Mass is some 5 per cent of the Catholic population and, in some cases, even below 2 per cent. On any particular Sunday about 18 per cent of the Catholic population in the Archdiocese of Dublin attends Mass.”

Though he acknowledged that Dublin Mass attendance is “considerably lower than in any other part of Ireland,” he reported that for the second time since he became archbishop (in 2004), there will be no priestly ordinations this year “and the coming years indicate only a tiny trickle of new vocations.”

My comment:

It is not possible for anyone to believe that the pervert priest in Ireland have ever been Christians. A governmental report in Ireland claimed 150.000 Children might have been sexual abused by Roman Catholic priests since the 1930-ties.

Have such priests ever known Jesus the Messiah?

Is it a must for those who believe in Jesus, to have spiritual fellowship with such priests, to be allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven?

To radical opposite, the Sex scandals in the Vatican Church expose the whore of Babylon.  If Catholics shall have any chance of being saved by Jesus, they must stop supporting this false “Church” who have been deceived by Bishops and Cardinals who hide criminals.

That is exactly what the Irishmen has done.  Now I pray that they will not become secular, but rather read the Bible and obey what is written.  Amen.

The priest of Rome claim that Jesus the Messiah is physically present in the round white man made wafer.  In a bizarre doctrine, Catholics are told that to accept Jesus, you have to eat Him.  And if you do not eat Him, you will not be allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven.

This is blasphemy.

Irishmen. Stay away from Catholic Churches, but rather join a good Baptist or Pentecostal fellowship, where people reject the Papacy and obey the scriptures.

You have got many warnings, that the Catholic “Church” represent a perversion of the truth. Now you choose wisely.
