Beware of deceptive "similarities" from the ads on our sites or those appearing on suggested links.Lies We Were TaughtPortraits of Characters Lied about in HistoryMost people are unaware that much of the history taught in schools has been manufactured and designed for a scandalous, defamatory purpose. This alteration of facts goes far beyond mere mistakes or exaggerations. The reason for this deception is also deeply hidden - it is so that you never discover the best kept secret - a gift of ineffable value. The truth is shocking to many because these lies, spoon-fed to our children, have been fabricated centuries ago.I disclose many of them while displaying the portraits of both good and evil characters involved during the creation of this charade (focusing mostly on the Renaissance). I describe those who manipulated the truth only to satisfy their greed for money, lust, or power, and those who had given their life in an effort to prevent such calumny. Please read more about them in http://WhatHasBeenHiddenFromYou.com It is the truth finally exposed by uncovering the lies of history and religion led by the forces of evil that have been secretly working to satisfy the unholy desires of the powers that run the world. Please read much of what is not widely known but scrupulously verified by multiple historians.Reviews of LiesWeWereTaughtand WhatHasBeenHiddenFromYou"Interesting: An eye opener""Better than the 'Soaps' - it really happened.""Very interesting, believable, and informative""I will never feel the same about...... "History Exposes the TruthExperts suspect that the most calamitous war in the history of mankind will start within the next year (2008). Going back to the elder prophets we find that the dire prediction given is that after several years of this gigantic war will come a chastisement resulting in the destruction of all humans -- except that of a small number of remaining Faithful.Following this huge global cleansing of humanity, will come that episode we identify as "the Reign of Peace". During this era all will have the true Faith.....there will be no atheists or false religions. There will not be thousands of different denominations. There will be only one Faith - that of the true believers.Brother John of the Cleft Rock (14th Century): "Towards the end of the world, tyrants and hostile mobs will rob the Church and the clergy of all their possessions and will afflict and martyr them. Those who heap the most abuse upon them will be held in high esteem. At that time, the Pope with his cardinals will have to flee Rome in tragic circumstances to a place where they will be unknown. The Pope will die a cruel death in his exile. The sufferings of the Church will be much greater than at any previous time in her history. But God will raise a holy Pope, and the Angels will rejoice. Enlightened by God, this man will rebuild almost the whole world through his holiness. He will lead everyone to the true Faith. Everywhere, the fear of God, virtue, and good morals will prevail. He will lead all erring sheep back to the fold, and there shall be one faith, one law, one rule of life, and one baptism on earth. All men will love each other and do good, and all quarrels and wars will cease."But there will come a time when all who gave living witness to these dramatic events will have died. Then, once again stories about the Truth will become twisted, lies fabricated, with the drastic result being that the majority of followers will once again lose the true Faith ... then again, as a result, sin will prevail throughout until the final chastisement, in what we call "these last days".Many believe that we are now living in the penultimate time preceding these fateful events. It is a brutal fact that the Faithful, once the majority, has now become the minority. Much in the way of a prequel to current affairs can be learned by studying the historicity of the religious conflicts that marked the Renaissance. However, keep in mind that "official" versions of history have been written by the victors...in this case the enemy. It follows that we have to look elsewhere for the truth.Historic researchers from scrupulous investigations and authentic letters and documents from this period give us another story altogether. An unbiased investigator must at least concede the possibility that what we were taught in school is what the enemies must have us believe in order to conceal their ill-gotten gains. In this case, the enemy also employs deception to hide their shame, but the faithful unveil the truth.After the takeover by the unlawful English "elite" it became apparent that their motivation was not for God, or to expose the true faith as the perpetrators feigned. It was due to greed, lust, and pride. King Henry wanted 6 "wives" and the English "elite" (the unlawful powers running the government) wanted the wealth from the estates of Catholic monasteries. To obtain these ends they had to destroy the faith of their country. They ultimately scandalized the world --not out of love of God as they pretended, but out of pride and the lust for money and illicit pleasure, like Judas having betrayed God for material wealth.In the beginning the English people were strongly opposed to the undermining of the Faith by attempts to place Protestants/false heirs on the throne. At that time the majority in mobs refused Lady Jane Grey, the next false Protestant heir. Knowing her Catholic cousin was the true heir, she was reluctant. The "elite" (evil powers running the monarch) tried to arrest her cousin, but the mob was overwhelming.Later, when all who gave living witness to these outrageous events, died, stories about the Truth became twisted and lies were fabricated which resulted in the majority finally losing the true Faith. With no one left to be able to say, "I was there, it is not true that the English welcomed the Protestant takeover", it became easy to continue such lies and thus deceive the following generations. However, there are records, proof, and authentic documents which disprove these lies to verify the truth.At the time of this writing lies are already being written about the present times we live in ... but few people dare to expose them for fear of dire punishment. False records will claim that a Police State and One World Government takeover was inevitable. No mention will be of the conspiracy of the "elite", except on issues in which the evidence is too hard to cover up. 9/11 might well be such an example.(Overwhelming evidence reveals that 9/11 was set up by the "elite" - the unlawful powers than run the government. Any terrorist involvement was perpetrated by these powers to hide the real cause - themselves. Many of us know their reason for this is to falsely justify the need for the Patriot Act. This act is a tremendous aid in setting up a Police State - a necessity for their planned One World Government.In a One World Government everyone will be totally controlled by these evil powers. There will be no freedom of worship, no privacy, and no freedom of speech. In the enabling of this global takeover the population must be ruthlessly culled down to a mere fraction. Indeed, the powers running our government want the majority of us out of the way, especially the ones willing to die for the Faith. Such opposition will not facilitate their planned take-over. Besides outright induced war between world powers they will instigate or encourage more subtle attacks with such tools as Chemtrails, untested drugs, deadly vaccines, man-made mutates of incurable diseases, euthanasia, GMO (gene destroying food) FL poison in our water, etc. to facilitate their plan of global control.)Many of us are aware of some of these things today. However, except for the events too obvious to cover up, our descendants will be deceived concerning real issues and needs. Like the children of today, they will not be taught the truth about the past nor the present, and they will be deceived into thinking that a Police State is not only inevitable but desirable! The impostors taking control will fabricate clever lies, exaggerate real issues, frame the good guys, and twist together truth and lies just enough for people to believe it.Demonic "forces" of evil have similar goals and work alongside these selfish power-grabbers. They are far more shrewd than mere humans. Consequently, if we are not consistent in prayer for Divine guidance, we cannot be certain of always having it. We may not want nor believe in Satan and his minions, but we can be assured he wants and believes in us! On my part I've known a famous exorcist for 35 years. From his experiences alone, one would know that demons are real. Luckily they can be forestalled.The powers "behind the throne" manipulate those apparently running the government. - They have planned, planted, rewarded or instigated terrorism in order to cause fear and panic. Their immediate but hidden goal is to promote warfare at all levels. Their future goal is to pretend to create order out of chaos in the form of a One World Government along with a concomitant one world false religion. All false religions are authored by the devil. How will this come about?1) war decreases the population - determined a necessity for these "insiders" to control their One World Gov't.2) war enables these diabolical insiders to lend money for weapons to both sides, ultimately resulting in "owning or controlling" those countries unable to pay them back.3) war or uprisings create the appearance of a need for tight government control in order to keep peace, also serves to set the stage for their One World Gov't.The following addresses one ofthe most calumniated periods in history -designed to misconstrue some ofthe most vital facts ever to be revealed.The real heroes in history are hardly mentioned. They are rather slandered and lied about. Queen Elizabeth 1st, in a way a false Queen, was portrayed as "the Great" and "the Virgin". The truth about this pathetic "Queen" is that she was weak, depraved, and erotically obsessed most of her life.It is said that even more responsible for the Reformation than Henry VIII, Ann Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth, or even Martin Luther, are 3 men hardly known in history - Thomas Cranmer, Thomas Cromwell, and William Cecil. They were motivated by the immense wealth they could have by confiscating the properties of Catholic monasteries. To gain and keep these riches they tried to destroy Catholicism by replacing the true faith with "Protestantism". An irony is that the conspirators did not believe in the spiritual validity of the very reformation they sponsored..
This is how they went about it. Cecil had deliberately arranged the circumstances in setting up Ann Boleyn to seduce Henry VIII ...all for the eventual purpose of destroying Catholicism. Once established as Henry's mistress, while he was of course married to Catherine, Ann lusted for power and insisted on being declared Queen. But she would have to be married to Henry.
However, since marriage is a Sacrament and governed by God's laws, no man (pope included) can legalize adultery via divorce or annulment. That left Henry in a seeming quandary. He tried the weak excuse of wanting a male heir, even though there was no law against female heirs of whom he already had two.
"And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery" (Mark, x, 11, 12. -Cf. Matt., xix, 9; Luke, xvi, 18)
"What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
(Mark 10, 9)"But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband. And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife" (I Cor., vii, 10, 11)
Henry was made to realize that to achieve his ends the true religion binding him would have to be succeeded by one that puts man's laws above God's laws. Such fits right into the agenda of Satan. Since evil begets evil, it is no surprise that neither good fruit or true religion can come from such satanic lust and greed. These religions (all of them) are authored by the devil. Only one was authorized by Christ, Who guaranteed to be with it until the end of time.
This is how it all played out. Thomas Cromwell served as the master thief in stealing land and wealth from Catholic monasteries. His example was copied all over the world. He was especially culpable because according to his deathbed confession, it appeared he believed in Catholicism as the true faith, but like Judas, he betrayed God for money. Eventually he was trapped in a net of his own making and lost his head.
Before his execution he begged to expose his evil and reveal the true religion, but the "elite" kept him locked up for fear that they would lose their wealth if the true facts were made public. However, upon his execution, Thomas Cromwell did at least expose Protestantism as the false religion and Catholicism as the true one. During his lifetime he was a strong promoter of anti-Catholicism only to keep his loot stolen from Catholic monasteries.
(It is said that he was beheaded as a traitor because he caused Henry grief and embarrassment after sticking him up with an ugly wife, Ann Cleves, and because he (Cromwell ) was acting as though he were supreme in the State.)
Thomas Cranmer was Henry's "false" chaplain who was highly rewarded to assist him in his evil plan. He had been instrumental in getting Henry an invalid annulment from Catherine in order to "marry" Ann Boleyn. When Henry grew tired of Ann and desired a new woman, he had Cranmer entrap Ann after gaining her confidence by feigning his friendship. The result of this insidious scheme gave cause for her to be executed as a traitor because of infidelity. Henry and Cranmer did the same with Catherine Howard, Henry's "5th wife".
Cranmer was important to William Cecil as well. Cecil (considered one of the elite) cleverly manipulated royalty like puppets. Naturally, his ruthless motive was to secure the loot he confiscated from the Catholic monasteries. His main goal was to keep Catholics off the throne in order to continue the ban against Catholicism.
Cecil worked in demonic synergism with Thomas Cromwell. He amazingly got away with controlling Queen Elizabeth 1st, James 1st, Mary Stuart, and others. The good that Elizabeth tried to do (when it did not affect her comfort) was prevented by Cecil whenever it risked his ill-gotten wealth.
Contrary to popular historical opinion, Elizabeth did not order her cousin Mary Stuart (Queen of Scotts) to be executed. Mary Stuart was Catholic, and Cecil with his "elite" had to Protestantize England and keep Catholics off the throne in order to keep their loot. Cecil had Mary arrested and executed in the face of insufficient evidence.
Upon Mary Stuart's arrest, Cecil took her baby and gave him away to one who would raise him as a Calvinist. Later, Cecil told him he would make him King if he approved the execution of his mother, which sadly, he did. He became King James Ist.
It was said that Henry had in his will an alter to be built above his grave with instructions for the traditional Mass to be said there until the end of time. However, because of his actions -- resulting from his selfishness and lust -- the true Mass had been declared by English law to be illegal and forbidden, and thus by his own hand his dying request was not allowed. Hence, God punished Henry with his own vices. Instead of dying for the Faith, by his actions he denounced it for his own selfish and wicked cause. Had England remained Catholic, Henry's Mass request may not have been revoked.
The original present day "New Mass" was taken from the Protestant service authored by Thomas Cranmer in the 16th C. He was Henry's VIII's false chaplain who was encouraged and rewarded by Cecil to fabricate this false mass after Henry's death, when England declared the true Mass illegal.
The false mass helped to promote the Protestant religion necessary to secure the loot that Cecil and his "elite" had stolen from Catholic monasteries. These heresies were forced on the people against their will. Cecil and Cromwell were not even believers in these false religions. Again, with the true religion revealed, their money was at risk.
Below is just one reason the "New Mass" is considered sacrilegious and doubtfully valid by many true Catholics. No law in God's Church would bind or enforce such doctrinal error.
The following 2 paragraphs are from the Catechism of the Council of Trent:"The additional words for you and for many, are taken, some from Matthew, (Matt 26, 28) some from Luke, (Luke 22, 20) but were joined together by the Catholic Church under the guidance of the Spirit of God. They serve to declare the fruit and the advantage of His Passion."
"When He added, And for many, He wished to be understood to mean the remainder of the elect from among the Jews or Gentiles. With reason, therefore, were the words for all not used, as in this place the fruits of the Passion are alone spoken of, and to the elect only did His Passion bring the fruit of salvation. And this is the purport of the Apostle (Hebrew 9, 28) when he says: "Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many"; and also of the words of our Lord in John: I pray for them; "I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me, because they are thine." (John 17, 9)"
Above is scriptural proof of "For Many" to be used during the Mass. In "WhatHasBeenHiddenFromYou.com" is scriptural proof of God's Real Presence during the Consecration.
Famous exorcist the late Fr. Malachi Martin said that Satanists say the traditional Catholic Mass backwards on an altar with an upside-down Cross. They do not use the contemporary "New Mass" (originally authored by Thomas Cranmer, Henry VIII's "false" chaplain) because, having the powers of an angel, they know it is not a real Mass. It appears they perform a greater sacrilege using the real Mass. I have heard that Satanists try to steal consecrated Hosts from traditional Catholic Masses (real Masses).
The following Bull forbids changes in the Mass. It is from the Council of Trent - a doctrinally binding council, not a pastoral one like 20th C Vatican Council II, having no force of law. The doctrines established from the Council of Trent are infallible. St. Pius V was pope during the Council of Trent in the 16th C.
The Papal Bull Quo Primum: "At no time in the future can a priest, whether secular or order priest, ever be forced to use any other way of saying Mass. And in order once and for all to preclude any scruples of conscience and fear of ecclesiastical penalties and censures, we declare herewith that it is by virtue of our Apostolic authority that we decree and prescribe that this present order and decree of ours is to last in perpetuity, and never at a future date can it be revoked or amended legally. ..And if, nevertheless, anyone would dare attempt any action contrary to this order of ours, handed down for all times, let him know that he has incurred the wrath of Almighty God, and of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul."
However, It was not just the Mass that Henry VIII had a hand in destroying. Defying the Church, Henry commissioned Thomas Cranmer to translate the Bible from Latin. Henry wanted no changes, as he believed in everything except the papacy, but Cranmer included heresies in a way that Henry would not notice. (To have the true faith, one must believe in everything, or he is like the heathen and the publican. Henry's position was schismatic). "And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.": Matthew 18: 17
Hilaire Belloc wrote that the Reformation of England alone set a precedence for the pilfering of Catholic monasteries by other heretical religions. He believed that had it not been for England's defection, most everyone in the western world would be Catholic today.
The world was to be universally Christian, not multiple denominations. Catholic means universal. Even logic tells us there can only be one truth and that the religion unchanged and authored by Christ is the only true one. But each newly minted religion claims to have received a different truth from the Holy Ghost. Since there is only one Holy Ghost and one truth, it follows that all other religious sects along with their "Holy Ghosts" are impostors, having the devil as their author.
It must be kept in mind that innovations and new "prophets" creating "poisonous sects" are heresies that spread everywhere. The Bible explicitly predicted this to happen, as it obviously has. "There shall be among you lying teachers who shall bring in sects (heresies**) of perdition.": St. Peter (II, ii, 1) **Heresies is the translation of sects.
But even infiltrators and misguided hierarchy so prominent in undermining the efficacy of the visual church, cannot change its fundamental core, which consists of the established truths originating through the process of the magisterium. The evil doers can never change God's Church, nothing can, since it is guaranteed and upheld by His own word. His original and only Church, according to the authority He gave, has the lineage of Peter.
Matthew 16 18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16 19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
Some interpreted Peter as pebble using Greek, but many examples prove it was Aramaic that was used, and thus Peter means rock, not pebble. The Scripture directly previous to it proves rock would not have meant pebble: Matthew 16 17 "And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven."
The pebble translation is another scriptural example of lying teachers bringing sects (heresies) of perdition. If other religious denominations were of God they would not be called sects of perdition. How in God's name do these sects of perdition think they have the right to choose or translate Holy Scripture? The only religion given the keys from Christ and authorized by Him, has that right. Since there can be only one truth, there can be only one translation. Otherwise there would be countless sects of perdition, as there are. (Of course, those unblameful ignorant are not culpable.)
The true Church is the one having the lineage from Peter. It is not united to the sects of perdition. That is why Religious Liberty, Collegiality, and the false Ecumenism presented in Vatican Council II, never was and never will be accepted and declared Excathedra (infallible). God's Church is guaranteed as Christ promised, and therefore He would never allow such heresies to be established as part of it. Those who think these concepts along with the New Mass were accepted and officially binding, are mistaken. Vatican Council II was only a pastoral council. It had no binding force of law.
The majority today are not aware of this. Other than the unblameful ignorant, they are blinded by sin, as Scripture describes: Wisdom 2, 21 "These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them." John 12, 40 "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." 2 Corinthians 4, 4 "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them."
If Truth (religious truth) is of little importance, there would be no anathema's.
"Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a doctrine to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." (Galatians 1:8)
Luther's doctrine is such an example: Proof against Luther's "truth":Those who think faith without works will save them, should read the Epistle of St. James: Chanter 2: (14) "What will it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but does not have works? Can the faith save him?" (17) "So faith too, unless it has works, is dead in itself." (18) "But someone will say, 'Thou hast faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith without works, and I, from my works, will show thee my faith'." (20) "But dost thou want to know, O senseless man, that faith without works is useless?" (24) "You see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." (26) "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith also without works is dead." Likewise, in I Corinthians: 13:2 "And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith, so as to remove mountains, yet do not have charity, I am nothing."
Luther started his own church. The Impostors, misguided Catholics, heretics, or evil doers perpetrating rightful issues Luther had concerns with, are not reasons to abandon the Church that Christ authorized and guaranteed. Even Peter who was appointed by Christ, was once corrected by Paul. Because of God's guarantee, these wrongs can never be a part of the precepts of the Faith - that which we MUST believe to be a member of His Church. (This does not include the unblameful ignorant.
Church teachings established as infallible and vital for one's salvation have Christ's authority -- along with his promise that the gates of Hell will not prevail against them. Christ's Church is the one that He established from the genealogy of Peter. Since Hell will not prevail against it, another church outside of the genealogy of Peter cannot take it's place. Since Christ determined that He would remain with His Church, why would He start another?Both Luther and Henry VIII were once Catholic. Both were responsible for unjustified mass murders, both "changed" laws in the attempt to condone their lust. Luther "married" a nun, Henry "married" without a valid annulment and murdered wives to have others. Are these important facts known? History is slanted in favor of the "elite". "Half truths" are often taught on events which could not be covered up.The Inquisition is such an example. It was not established by the Church. It was a civil authority that executed people for crimes against the state, called treason. If the traitors were heretics as well, the Church was often blamed and calumniated. However, execution for treason was accepted without issue in all other countries."Characters of the Inquisition" by Thomas Walsh. "This refutes the many lies about the Inquisition spread by the enemies of the Church, and shows why it was instituted, the purpose it served, and its long-term effects. All this is achieved with the stories of 6 Grand Inquisitors. It exonerates the Church of all wrongdoing, and really dispels the lies about her. Essential history!" - A reviewOn the other hand, the Catholic Crusades were created in defense of the heretics killing and raping their people. Regardless, members or those of the hierarchy who sinned in any way, like Henry VIII, Luther and many others, do not make Christ's Church a false one. Their sins do not alter the underlying Faith that continues on, unblemished.Furthermore, Henry VIII, Luther, and the others did not have God's authority to set up a new Church, nor to make their own laws. Christ appointed Peter as the head of His Church, who passed this authority on to his successors. The teachings of Peter and the popes are only infallible under its established protocol. "And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.": Matthew 16 19Therefore, from the authority of Christ through Peter, came this established protocol to determine Excathedra, or infallibility. No future pope can contradict what another pope determines infallible without denying the previous authority. Never has a pope been in error having applied this established protocol for decisions Excathedra on Faith and morals. They are included in the precepts of God's church, which He guaranteed. "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16 18Since the Church is already established and it does not change, a doctrine determined Excathedra is now basically only used in rare needs of discerning truths in confusing matters. (Decisions infallibly established never violate Church Tradition, the backbone of the Faith.)This well established Church is a great obstacle to the demons. In a diabolical scheme to undermine the Church and abolish truth there were 1000 Communists ordained as priests in 1938. Demons work through the enemies of the Faith.Now we have enemies of the Faith working overtime in the Vatican to destroy the Faith as well as the Mass.
St. Alphonsus: "The devil has always attempted, by means of heretics, to deprive the world of the Mass, making them precursors of the antichrist, who before anything else, will try to abolish and will actually abolish the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as a punishment for the sins of men, according to the prediction of Daniel, 'And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice.' " (Daniel 8:12)
Altering Holy Scripture is another method of destroying the Faith and the Mass.
You cannot alter Scripture without permission from the author - God, or else: Apocalypse 22 18 "For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. " Apocalypse 22 19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book."Gal. 1:8 "Though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." Gal 1:9 "As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema." "There shall be among you lying teachers who shall bring in sects of perdition" St. Peter (II, ii, 1) The Greek translation of "Sects" is heresies. "For false Christ’s and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect." - Mark 13:22
Only Catholic Scripture is authentic.
I found in a chat: "By the way, the reason most "Christian" communities do not teach their members about Church history and the writings of the ancient fathers and their views on scriptures is because they all go contrary to their faith, be they Mormons, Protestants, or Jehovah's Witnesses. If these people actually investigated the writings of the Christians in the early Church they would see the errors in their faiths. I have met many Catholics and Orthodox who know quite a bit about Christian history and the early Church fathers, but very few Mormons, Protestants, and Jehovah's Witnesses know anything about them. The thing about the Catholics and the Orthodox that they can do and the other groups cannot is reconcile Scripture with the Traditions of the Christians throughout history. Sure, a Mormon, Prot., or JW can give you their interpretation of the Bible, but the Catholic can say "this is the interpretation of the Bible as it has been since St. Ignatious, St. John Crystosom, St. Jerome, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and all the way up to the present day." When this information is known, even Protestant hierarchy convert to Catholicism
The mystic St. Jerome directed the Latin Vulgate interpretation of the Bible in the 4th C. The Latin Vulgate is a non mutating language.
St. Jerome was an avid student, a thorough scholar, a prodigious letter-writer and a consultant to monk, bishop and pope. St. Augustine said of him, "What Jerome is ignorant of, no mortal has ever known." In order to be able to do such work, Jerome prepared himself well. He was a master of Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Chaldaic. He began his studies at his birthplace, Stridon in Dalmatia (in the former Yugoslavia). After his preliminary education he went to Rome, the center of learning at that time, and thence to Trier, Germany, where the scholar was very much in evidence. He spent several years in each place, trying always to find the very best teachers. After these preparatory studies he traveled extensively in Palestine, marking each spot of Christ's life with an outpouring of devotion. Mystic that he was, he spent five years in the desert of Chalcis so that he might give himself up to prayer, penance and study. Finally he settled in Bethlehem, where he lived in the cave believed to have been the birthplace of Christ. On September 30 in the year 420, Jerome died in Bethlehem. The remains of his body now lie buried in the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome.
Non-Catholic Bibles contain heresy. As for scriptural translation (as well as interpretation and compilation of the books of the Bible) ONLY the true Church was given that authority.
If the real Holy Ghost inspired other religions, they would all interpret the Bible the same way, BUT THEY DO NOT which means they are not inspired by the Holy Ghost, they are heresies.
Hence the true Christians (real Catholics) do not read any other Bible but the original one - the one compiled by the only church having God's authority. This Bible, with its interpretation under the direction of the holy mystic, St. Jerome, is the one that the true Church approves of.
Only the true Church was approved by Christ, Who is God, as the Bible repeatedly says. And the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.
Heresies violate the truths required to believe in order to be a Christian. God is not the author of their religion, Satan is.
Again, if Truth is of little importance, there would be no anathemas against anyone changing as little as one word of the Holy Bible. These anathemas I listed above and copied straight from the Bible, the authentic one.
"There shall be among you lying teachers who shall bring in sects of perdition" St. Peter (II, ii, 1) The Greek translation of "Sects" is heresies. "For false Christ’s and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect." - Mark 13:22
In a Satanist magazine, it was revealed that the devil's most influential song is Frank Sinatra's "I Did It My Way". If you seemingly accomplish great and wonderful things by violating the laws of God, it counts against you. But if you accomplish nothing in this world other than obedience to God, in reality you have done a great work. You prove your loyalty and love of God this way. (How could it be otherwise when some unfortunate people are incapable of human compassion?)
Here is the last verse of that demonic song: For what is a man? What has he got? If not himself - Then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels. Let the record show I took the blows And did it my way. Yes, it was my way. (Obviously that's not God's way). For what it is worth: "Sinatra" starts with "sin" and has the letters of "Satan".

After he (VII) died, his son (VIII) took over when half brother Arthur (of better bloodline than VIII) died soon after his marriage to Catherine.King Henry VI - a pious Catholic murdered by Henry VIII's father- Henry VII. He was related to the pious King Henry III, Isabella and other holy royalty, as well as Henry VIII's saintly true wife - Catherine of Aragon.K Henry III Fr. - one of the Protestant Valois kings. Against incredible odds, Count Simon De Montford won miraculous victories in battle against him and many other aggressive heretics, after praying the Rosary.K Henry III Eng. - Like other holy royalty, he attended 3 Masses a day. Be careful what you read on the good Kings. The Powers That Be write the history which gets copied everywhere, especially school books.Ann Boleyn - Henry's mistress whose insistence on being Queen scandalized the world. When he grew to dislike her, he had her beheaded. She was the mother of Elizabeth 1st, who therefore was a false Queen.Elizabeth 1st - the unwholesome child of Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn. "By their fruits you will know them." This pathetic false Queen was a twisted, perverted, selfish traitor of the Faith, but not as bad as other people I describe later.Catherine of Aragon - the saintly true wife and true Queen of Henry VIII, and child of the holy Isabella . She died age 50 in exile. Some thought she might have been poisoned by Ann Boleyn. Monks claim miracle(s) at her grave after Ann Boleyn was executed.Henry's other "wives" - He says he beheaded Ann Boleyn because she was unfaithful, but even the people at the time had their doubts. Next was Jane who died shortly after Edward's birth. Then he had Cranmer frame his 5th resulting in her execution at age 16.Isabella of Spain - holy mother of the saintly Catherine; paid for the Columbus expedition; successful in preventing a grave heresy; granddaughter of the pious King Henry III who attended several Masses a day.Mary Tudor - child of Henry VIII and holy Catherine. She risked her life siding with God rather than Henry and attending the Mass instead of heretical service written by Cranmer. After Vat II it became the impious "New Mass".Thomas Cromwell - master thief of the wealth from Catholic monasteries. Supported the anti- Catholic movement to keep his loot secure, but upon his death under no pressure, he denounced Protestantism and professed Catholicism as the true religion.William Cecil - manipulated the ignorant and the weak, like Elizabeth, enticing them to betray the Faith in order for the "elite" to keep the stolen land of Catholic monasteries. It set a precedence for other heresies all over the world.King Edward VI - Mary Tudor's half brother, but brought up Protestant. Risking her life, Mary refused his orders to reject the Catholic Mass. A sickly child, he reigned 7 years and died at 15.Stephen Gardiner - worked for Henry and Protestantized after it appeared prosperous for him and risky not to, but later he publicly denounced the heresy and continued the rest of his life as a staunch Catholic.Pope Clement VII - refused to give Henry VIII an annulment despite threats from Stephen Gardiner. Though a weak pope, he knew it was God's law that could not be changed. Regardless, the Faith is infallible on such laws.K Henry IV of France - married a Medici - related to Clement VII. The Protestant Huguenot murders ended with Medici's "Massacre of St. Bartholomew". Henry IV's late conversion had a pro- Catholic effect on the world.Lorenzo Medici - was very popular, charming, and heroic. His brother, while attending High Mass was murdered by a Protestant. The brother's son was Pope Clement VII who could not annul Henry VIII's marriage.Catherine Medici - Lorenzos' daughter, great grandmother of Louis XIV, and backbone of the younger weak Valois kings, led the Massacre on St. Bartholomew's Day against the murdering Protestant Huguenots.Mary Stuart - cousin of Mary Tudor. Cecil took her baby (King James) after having her in exile for 20 years, then on unproven charges beheaded her. She was a true heir and Catholic so a danger to his stolen Catholic wealth.James 1st of Eng. - Mary Stuart's baby that Cecil had raised as a Calvinist, making him King if he approved the beheading of his Catholic mother. He did. The heretical KJ Bible was born during his reign.Lady Jane Grey - The corrupt "elite" arrested Mary Tudor, the true heir, and tried to force her Protestant Tudor cousin Jane to be Queen in place of her, but the demands of the crowd prevented it, and in effect caused Jane to be executed.St. Thomas Moore - a lawyer who knew that in order to save his soul he would have to die rather than deny the true Faith by recognizing Henry's "annulment". He was no religious fanatic, just an ordinary Catholic not willing to sell his soul to stay alive.Oliver Cromwell - attempted to destroy the monarch which was dependent upon money from the elite, of which he had most of it from his great grandfather's uncle. He lead the coups and kept them Puritan, though a non-believer.St. Pope Pius X - Archbishop Lefebvre, in accordance with Cannon Law, set up Soc. of SPX to restore all things in Christ when it was evident that St. Pope Pius X's prophetic vision on Modernism was true.Archbishop Lefebvre - from a family which gave a cardinal, a few bishops and many priests and religious. After his baptism his mother said "This one will have a great role in Rome, close to the pope. He did. His parents died in a concentration camp as martyrs.Marie Jahenny - French stigmatist of 1870 who prophesied: the evils of Modernism; the Mass with odious words resulting from the abomination (Vatican Council II); and a chastisement from God that will kill the majority - all of the bad.Malachi Martin - famous exorcist said that:Satan does not use the ‘New Mass’ since they know it's not a real Mass. Therefore, for their 'black mass' they use the traditional. Roman Mass said backwards w/ an upside down cross.Martin Luther - proclaimed the false doctrine of "justification by faith alone", and later rejected the sacraments, Mass, priesthood, papacy, and condemned monastic vows - in general Christian asceticism.John Calvin - His doctrine, repugnant to reason and conscience, turns existence into a hideous nightmare. He claimed man was predestined and therefore if doomed, could not merit anything in life to change it.Rene Descartes - His erroneous concept on "rationalism" created by the effects of the Reformation resulted in spreading more forms of Protestantism. His narrow definition of reason is contrary to theologians.Blaise Pascal - His erroneous concept on "emotionalism" is also spawn of the Reformation and resulted in multiplying heresies. He tried to substitute emotion with reason which helped create and spread Modernism.Sir Walter Raleigh - Ordered Ven. Plasden (a priest) to hang till he was dead. English admiral and explorer; first Englishman to circumnavigate the world. A favorite Protestant of Queen Elizabeth 1st.Ven. Polydore Plasden - At the execution of this priest, with Elizabeth as the Queen, said he prayed for her, but would rather forfeit 1000 lives than deny or fight against his religion.Richelieu - saved the French monarchy and prevented Protestant success but at the expense of leaving the Protestants a strong minority which left the French morally divided between Catholicism and Protestantism.Ferdinand II - prevented by Adolphus from keeping Europe predominately Catholic, especially Germany.

Adolphus was highly paid by Richelieu to conquer the Catholic Emperor Ferdinand II. He died while accomplishing it.Laud - Protestant Archbishop beheaded by Protestants for being sympathetic to Catholicism. Like many Protestants/ Anglicans then, he wanted to be Catholic in most, if not everything, but preferred a national religion, which can include any degree of heresy, rather than Papal Supremacy.King Louis XIV - held to the erroneous 'Divine Right of Kings' and was not a good example but tried to keep Catholicism for 50 years until he was killed. Calvinists did not like his turn on the 'Edict of Nance'King Louis XVI - guillotined for treason. The French turned against him mostly because of the claims they had against his wife's spending, treason, and unfaithfulness - much of which were exaggerations, even lies.Marie Antoinette - guillotined with spouse Louis XVI. Being Austrian also made her unpopular with the French. Prettiest of 16 children, sent at 14 to marry a fat, lazy, shy king, and without knowing French did not help.King Louis XVII - their oldest son - eight years old, imprisoned with his parents, and so mistreated after their beheading that he died not long after. His DNA proved The 'Prince & the Pauper' event not true.Louis XVIII - the brother of the guillotined Louis XVI who had to flee from the revolutionaries and again from Napoleon. Suffering with gout, Louis had ultraroyalist son Charles X - very reactionary, take control.Napoleon - one of the 'greatest' military commanders in history, but he is also portrayed as a power hungry conqueror. His meteoric rise shocked the world and his military conquests threatened the stability of it.St. Joan of Ark - sent by God to get the Protestant English off of Catholic French soil Turned 100 year war into one. Sold to the English who burned her at the stake for not wearing clothes that risked her purity with the soldiers.Charles VII - advocated Joan D'Arc's canonization.

Lived as a Protestant but was killed for defending a Catholic cause - Oliver Cromwell had him beheaded for refusing to eliminate Catholic bishops.William of Orange - or Nassau -most related to Charlemagne 1000 years ago.

Catholic son of Charles I, and brother of James II. Executed the 9 men who murdered his father. Don't confuse him with the retarded King Charles II of Spain.James II -of England - last Catholic king. Son of Charles I whose brother Charles II also secured his right to the throne but with difficulty because of the many having been made wealthy from the land stolen from Catholic monasteries.Charles V - of Spain - father of King Philip II of Spain, nephew of Catherine of Aragon, Grandfather of Charles VII who is the uncle of Henry VI of England.

Married Mary Tudor, Mary Stuart, Elizabeth Medici, only after the others died (or were murdered).King Charles X of Fr. - brother of the executed King Louis XVI and post-Napoleonic King Louis XVIII, and uncle of 8 year old Louis XVII, who died a year after the beheading of his parentsCharlemagne - Heir to Europe which he kept Catholic or converted from pagans. The first Roman Emperor crowned by a Pope, as he came to pope Leo III's aid when in need.Emperor Lothaire - Grandson of Charlemagne - constantly observed the same practices as Constantine the Great. That is, hearing 3 Masses a day in peace or in war, and his father was called Louis the Pious.Constantine - heard daily Mass and carried a portable alter so that within the din of war or tumult of arms the Divine Sacrifice might be continuously celebrated. He thus continually received the most signal victories.St. Leonard - If we intend to go to Mass but cannot because of obedience to our duties in life, he claims God gives us the merit of attending, and if in obedience, the additional merit of obeying.Queen Maria Clementina (of the exiled Stuarts) confided in St. Leonard that her devout attendance caused her to have such a desire to receive our Lord that she went to as many Masses a day as possible.St. Elizabeth of Hungary- child of pious King Andrew II who was ridiculed for his generosity said to hurt the monarchy (only the spoiled and corrupt). His fruit is the Saint that we can all continue to benefit from.King Alphonsus VIII - Had been leading a disorderly life and punished by God in several ways. Saint Dominic said those who say the Rosary devoutly would overcome their enemies and regain all they lost in warfare. He did so and after a year all those things came true and more. His blind wife could see again.....St. Louis de Montford - preached the Rosary to succeed, as in fighting off invaders spreading heresies. Church teaching condemned the killing of heretics, otherwise. Those who did were disobedient and scandalous.Count Simon de Montford - famous for victories unmatched in history against the Albigentians under the patronage of Our Lady of the Rosary, Mary: 10,000 to 500; 3,000 to 30; 100,000 to 1800 with the loss of only 9.Alan de Lanvalley - faithful to the daily Rosary 1) He was surrounded by Albigentians until Mary let 150 rocks fall on them. 2) His ship was about to sink until Mary had appear 150 hills to shore for his rescue.Othere - with the Rosary on his arm, the enemy admitted seeing him shielded by J&M & the saints. Another, converted being impressed at having lost with a force of 20,000 to 10 companies without losing one.Hilaire Belloc - the 'prophet' and famous historian who discovered that the cause of revolts were often false issues, or exaggerations under a guise of needing reform. His works are remarkably believable.J Robert Oppenheimer - Father of the Atomic bomb/ leading professor of theoretical physics. He was told the bomb was only to prevent others from using it first, but when the masonic president bombed 2 Catholic cities (zero point on a Church) he refused to help with future nukes. (The priest and the area where the Rosary was prayed, though bombed, were miraculously preserved). To prevent his best friend from being executed, Oppie took the wrap for him. The scandal spread about him was proven false by researchers when key associates years later revealed the truth shortly before their death. Few people know, and I found no documentaries that contained the truth about this man, my relative. History is full of unknown heroes and honors given to impostors, but, we can always pray for them.ConclusionMay those deceived by the lies we were taught, discover the Truth- so deviously, so maliciously, and so deliberately hidden. May they believe it, may they love it, and may they live it every precious moment of their life.Remember the true story of the lamb about to be slaughtered with the slice of a knife to his throat - Picture this gentle lamb, so loving, so innocent, and so trusting that he affectionately licked his own blood off the hand of his executioner. He was still hoping and trusting him to be the good master that he expected, even while about to end his life. Realizing the betrayal of this love, the "executioner" could never again slaughter another lamb.And what about you, asks the gentle Lamb of God. Will you comfort or crucify Me? Think also about those entrusted to you on Earth and in Purgatory. They silently beg for a prayer, a Mass, or a sacrifice. What you do for them you do for the Lamb, while your soul is in the state of grace.On the other hand, sins make you an accomplice to His crucifixion. Who would want to hurt the gentle innocent Lamb? The crucifixion is in a state of timelessness. Devotion at this time is the same as if you were standing beneath the Cross, as God does not have restrictions on dealing with time. Therefore, everyone can assist at the Crucifixion. (The concept of the mutability of time is one that even theoretical physicists are exploring.)Make your whole life a prayer comforting the Lamb, while assisting yourself and those entrusted to you. Today, due to the Reformation and the lies about it, there are few who even know about such things, much less believe them.Concerning the few who do believe, many lack the desire to do what they know is right. This is a result of the diminished grace in the world from the desecration of most of the Masses, again, due to the Reformation and lies spread about it.And so the majority continue to crucify the innocent Lamb as 'He licks His own Blood off their uncaring hand' but this will not continue. According to many ancient holy Catholic prophets, there will be a chastisement resulting in the killing off of the majority - all of the bad, and some of the good as martyrs.
