Tell-Tale
Signs of Déjà vu : Vatican Key to Alliance Bringing Down
a Major Empire by J. Parnell McCarter
Date 5/14/2020
The American public is
largely ignoring Vatican moves with China and Russia, such as chronicled in
articles like https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vatican-china/vatican-china-hold-extremely-rare-high-level-diplomatic-meeting-idUSKBN2082JJ
and https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-04/putin-meets-pope-as-relations-thaw-between-russia-and-vatican
. I would suggest that reflects both a
naivete regarding the Vatican, and more sadly a departure by American
Protestants from our historic understanding of scriptural prophecy represented
in historicism (see www.historicism.net
). But before considering these current developments with the Vatican, let’s
consider a portion of Vatican history in which Americans are more familiar with
its role in bringing down a major empire: the 1980s.
Before and through the
1980s there was a clash of two major world empires, the US empire and the
Soviet empire, called the “Cold War”. Here is how https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War
describes the Cold War: “The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and the United States and their respective allies, the Eastern Bloc and the Western Bloc, after World War II. The period is generally considered to span the
1947 Truman Doctrine
to the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union.”
Until the 1980s, there was basically a stalemate between the Western
Bloc and the Eastern Bloc. But in the 1980s a powerful worldwide
religious-political kingdom decided to tip the balance; that
religious-political kingdom was the Vatican.
There are many websites that tell the story of the Vatican’s role in
bringing down the Soviet empire, of which these are just a sample:
http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,159069,00.html
– “…Reagan and the Pope agreed
to undertake a clandestine campaign to hasten the dissolution of the communist
empire. Declares Richard Allen, Reagan's first National Security Adviser:
"This was one of the great secret alliances of all time." The
operation was focused on Poland, the most populous of the Soviet satellites in
Eastern Europe and the birthplace of John Paul II. Both the Pope and the
President were convinced that Poland could be broken out of the Soviet orbit if
the Vatican and the U.S. committed their resources to destabilizing the Polish
government and keeping the outlawed Solidarity movement alive after the
declaration of martial law in 1981… According to aides who shared their
leaders' view of the world, Reagan and John Paul II refused to accept a
fundamental political fact of their lifetimes: the division of Europe as
mandated at Yalta and the communist dominance of Eastern Europe. A free,
noncommunist Poland, they were convinced, would be a dagger to the heart of the
Soviet empire; and if Poland became democratic, other East European states
would follow… "The Administration plugged into the church across the
board," observes Derwinski, now Secretary of
Veterans Affairs. "Not just through the church hierarchy but through
individual churches and bishops. Monsignor Bronislaw Dabrowski,
a deputy to Cardinal Glemp, came to us often to tell
us what was needed: he would meet with me, with Casey, the NSC and sometimes
with Walters." John Cardinal Krol of
Philadelphia, whose father was born in Poland, was the American churchman
closest to the Pope. He frequently met with Casey to discuss support for
Solidarity and covert operations, according to CIA sources and Derwinski. "Krol hit it off
very well with President Reagan and was a source of constant advice and
contact," says Derwinski. "Often he was the
one Casey or Clark went to, the one who really understood the situation."
https://www.amazon.com/His-Holiness-Carl-Bernstein/dp/0385472374
- “journalists Carl Bernstein and Marco Politi provide an astonishing look at Pope John Paul II… John Paul II
would come to dominate his era much as Churchill dominated his, ultimately
fashioning an alliance with Reagan to reverse Yalta and hasten the demise of
Communism.”
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/pope/communism/
- “From the first day of
his election, John Paul II's pontificate raised concern in Central Committee
headquarters. The Canadian reporter, Eric Margolis, described it this way:
"I was the first Western journalist inside the KGB headquarters in 1990.
The generals told me that the Vatican and the Pope above all was regarded as
their number one, most dangerous enemy in the world." Soon enough, people
of all sorts--world leaders, clandestine dissidents and ordinary
Catholics--sensed the Communists were impotent before the Polish Pope… Again and again, people told us
that it was. John Paul II's 1979 trip was the fulcrum of revolution which led
to the collapse of Communism. Timothy Garton Ash put it this way, "Without
the Pope, no Solidarity. Without Solidarity, no Gorbachev. Without Gorbachev,
no fall of Communism." (In fact, Gorbachev himself gave the Kremlin's long-term
enemy this due, "It would have been impossible without the Pope.") It
was not just the Pope's hagiographers who told us that his first pilgrimage was
the turning point. Skeptics who felt Wojtyla was never a part of the resistance
said everything changed as John Paul II brought his message across country to
the Poles. And revolutionaries, jealous of their own, also look to the trip as
the beginning of the end of Soviet rule. It took time; it took the Pope's
support from Rome--some of it financial; it took several more trips in 1983 and
1987. But the flame was lit. It would smolder and flicker before it burned from
one end of Poland to the other. Millions of people spread the revolution, but
it began with the Pope's trip home in 1979. As General Jaruzelski
said, "That was the detonator."
The reason the Vatican is the key partner in
bringing down a major empire like the Soviet Union is because it can
destabilize an empire from within, whereas other alliance partners for the most
part only threaten it from without. But
to bring down a powerful empire, especially in an era of nuclear weaponry where
external attack alone would likely result in destruction of both sides,
requires a partner that can destabilize the empire from within. In the case of the Soviet empire, the Vatican
focused its destabilization effort in Poland- a member of the Warsaw Pact and
Eastern Bloc- and the rest is history.
Now let’s consider
tell-tale signs of what the Vatican is doing under the leadership of a
different Pope, this one not despising communism and the Soviet Union like Pope
John Paul II, but this one (Pope Francis) despising capitalism and the
capitalist US empire. This one not having come from within the Soviet sphere of
influence of Eastern Europe, but having come from within the US sphere of
influence of the Americas, with its Latin American resentments of the US role
there. This one not opposing Jesuit Liberation Theology, but supporting it by
his current statements and actions. A
seminar at Jesuit Fordham University in 2018 laid out the basic realities of
the Vatican and Jesuit Order’s current predominant political posture, as
described at https://www.ncronline.org/news/earthbeat/pope-francis-blunt-critique-capitalism-praised-needed-warning
:
·
“Francis is warning that the current global capitalist system
oppresses the poor and threatens the life of the planet, including efforts by
the Trump administration to subvert the Paris Accords on climate change…”
·
“The pope is warning the world that global
capitalism is "putting us in profound peril," said Sachs. As a
result, Francis has emerged "as the most important person on the
planet."
·
“Sachs agreed that the pope's
sometimes-scathing statements on capitalism are a needed counterweight to
American overconfidence that unfettered capitalism can provide a pathway out of
the dual crises of climate change and economic inequality.”
·
“But before the
critique of capitalism and church social teaching could be discussed, the
metaphorical elephant in the room — the continued onslaught of sex abuse issues
afflicting the church — was addressed. David Gibson, director of the Fordham Center on Religion and
Culture, which sponsored the event that drew an overflow crowd to a
400-seat lecture hall, noted that the church has to address the sex abuse
crisis. But that doesn't preclude shutting down discussion of Catholic social
justice teaching, he said.”
·
"Was the pope
criticizing the United States? Is he a socialist?" the radio interviewer
asked. The unnamed bishop said not to worry, that was how Latin Americans
talk.”
·
“Emba asked what the
average person can do about overwhelming global issues. Tobin suggested a
simple act of solidarity: Invite an immigrant family to dinner. Addressing the
big issues on the planet, he said, can begin with a simple act of reaching out
to the peripheries in the spirit of Francis.”
Pope Francis has issued
this message on multiple occasions, including the one in 2017 described at https://www.ncronline.org/news/justice/unbreakable-world-meeting-justice-opens-california
. These resources paint a clear picture
of where the Jesuit Pope Francis is seeking to lead the world:

Consider the sort of
propaganda that Jesuits are publishing, condemned in the article at https://nypost.com/2019/07/29/why-are-americas-jesuits-going-to-bat-for-communism/
:
“Why are America’s Jesuits going to bat for Communism?
Last week,
a New York-based magazine published a 3,000-word article about Communism that failed to
mention the murder of 50 million people — the lowest possible estimate — by
Communist regimes during the 20th century… The author, Dean Dettloff, is indeed a hardline Communist. He’s a young
Canadian supporter of the Marxist-Leninist Party for Socialism and Liberation,
which deplores China’s move away from Mao’s ideological purity and hates
Gorbachev for destroying the Soviet Union.
But who published him? America magazine, the century-old Jesuit
periodical that is among the most influential Catholic publications in the
United States… Dettloff is America’s Toronto
correspondent. For two years, he has been writing partisan dispatches for
America, making excuses for Venezuela’s narco-dictator, Nicolás Maduro,
glorifying the far-left thugs of the antifa movement and never missing an
opportunity to depict the United States as the Great Satan of capitalism. “The
United States is bad. It’s not good. It would be better if it didn’t exist, and
someday, whether by the march of historical contingency or extinction, it
won’t,” he tweeted on the Fourth of July, which he called “an abhorrent and
perverse holiday that Christians have reasons to hate.”…
Dettloff, and his editors by implication, reserve
their anger for the “unbridled terrorism” of capitalism… God only know what
Pope Francis makes of this… As a pontiff, however, he seems unconcerned by the
crushing of religion in China, with which the Vatican has signed a concordat
that grants the Chinese Communist Party a say in the selection of Catholic
bishops… But regardless of their views on Francis’ pontificate, American
Catholics should be alarmed by Communist apologetics appearing in the pages of
the country’s premier Jesuit journal…”
The
Jesuits have always held that the “ends justify the means”, and that they have
a right to topple governments they see as unfit. Jesuit Liberation Theology is just a modern
manifestation of this age-old philosophy, and there is good reason to believe
Jesuit Pope Francis and the current Jesuit Order embraces it. Promoting illegal
immigration is one means to their “liberating” end, but there are indications
it is now going further than that. There is evidence the Vatican is joining in
the new Cold War against the USA. This
new Cold War pits China-Russia-Iran together against the USA, as was manifested
in their joint military exercises (see https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/27/asia/china-russia-iran-military-drills-intl-hnk/index.html
). As noted at https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3045253/china-and-iran-relationship-built-trade-weapons-and-oil
:
“While relatively modest in scope, the
trilateral exercise [in December] was still unprecedented and couched in terms
of improving security,” he said. “While not a defence
alliance, this growing convergence among the three countries should probably
not be that surprising given that all three are also targets of American
sanctions and oppose its unilateralism. “That naval exercise was also China’s
implicit way of warning against any large-scale US military measure against
Iran.”
Vatican
political moves with China and Russia are part of the process. As noted at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/22/vatican-pope-francis-agreement-with-china-nominating-bishops
, in 2018 the Vatican and China signed an historic agreement:
“The Vatican and China said yesterday they had signed a
historic agreement on the appointment of Roman Catholic bishops, a breakthrough
on an issue that for decades fuelled tensions between
the Holy See and Beijing and thwarted efforts toward diplomatic relations…Theodore
McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington who resigned as a cardinal in
July after facing allegations of sexual abuse, has been a regular envoy from
the Vatican to Beijing, according to the Catholic News Agency. A sign of
Francis’s eagerness to curry favour with the Chinese
has been his refusal to meet the Dalai Lama, knowing such an encounter would
anger Beijing. The thaw between the two powers has come under fire from some in
the church. Two years ago, Cardinal Zen said a rapprochement would be “betraying
Jesus Christ” and a “surrender”. The use of McCarrick, the Vatican well aware of his immorality and
criminality, is described in more detail at https://www.yorechildren.com/blog/2019/6/4/vatican-whistleblower-disgraced-cardinal-mccarrick-served-as-envoy-for-disastrous-vaticanchina-deal
: “The fact that Pope Francis repeatedly dispatched
the highly disgraced and compromised Cardinal McCarrick as an ad hoc diplomat
to China to negotiate terms on behalf of the Holy See raises serious concerns
about papal judgment and the integrity of the Vatican’s China Agreement.
According to Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, Pope Francis was told that
McCarrick was a notorious sexual predator who preyed on seminarians and that
the Vatican had an extensive dossier on McCarrick’s personal corruption…Pope
Francis steadfastly refused to comment about the
Vigano allegations that he knew about McCarrick’s sexual predation and that
Pope Benedict imposed sanctions on McCarrick, which were secretly lifted by
Francis.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/10/17/least-more-people-told-vatican-they-were-sexually-abused-boys-by-theodore-mccarrick-according-sources/
reported this: “At least
7 more people told the Vatican they were sexually abused as boys by Theodore
McCarrick, according to sources”.
McCarrick’s criminal
sexual conduct, and the Vatican’s criminal coverup, suggest one motive for the
Vatican joining an alliance to bring the US empire down: to upend disclosure
and charges emanating from the USA against such criminal conduct reaching to
the highest levels of the Vatican. Leaders in the Vatican, China, Russia, and
Iran are all threatened by the US empire, so have common reason to want it
brought down at this time. The Vatican
is the key member, because it has true insider status in the US Federal
Government based in Washington, DC. The
Vatican and the Jesuit Order were key instrumental players in the raising up of
the US Federal Government based in Washington, DC (see below), and they are
positioned to be key instrumental players in its downfall, even as the Vatican
was a key player in the downfall of the Soviet empire.
The
agreement between the Vatican and China has been followed up by political moves
described at https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vatican-china/vatican-china-hold-extremely-rare-high-level-diplomatic-meeting-idUSKBN2082JJ
and https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-04/putin-meets-pope-as-relations-thaw-between-russia-and-vatican
. Jesuit-connected activities as
described in the series of articles on Dr. Anthony Fauci
starting at http://www.puritans.net/articles/fauci.htm
suggest cooperation of the parties (specifically China and the Jesuit Order) to
use Covid-19 to weaken the USA and de-stabilize the current world order, as a
precursor to bringing down the US empire.
As pointed out at http://www.puritans.net/articles/prism.htm
, we should expect to see this happening during this period of history, leading
towards the rise of the Jesuit Roman Catholic Pope and his
Papal kingdom as the new superpower of the world, which is really just a
resumption of the Papal kingdom’s former superpower status (Revelation 17:17).
Jesuit power in Washington, DC is long and
significant, so the Jesuit Pope has power to bring down the US empire working
from within. Jesuit Georgetown
University, founded in Georgetown (now a part of Washington, DC), was conceived
and founded by Jesuit and later Archbishop John Carroll before it was decided
to locate the Federal capital nearby:
“Beginning in 1783,
Carroll convened meetings of area clergy, mostly ex-Jesuits, at Sacred Heart Church in White Marsh, outside Annapolis, Maryland.
This body, known as the General Chapters, resolved on November 13, 1786, that
"a school be erected for the education of youth" and that the
location for the school would be in Georgetown.[10][11] The site was influenced by Carroll's experience
with Jesuit colleges in Europe, which were located in urban centers.[12] Port towns were used by Jesuits because of their
missionary focus. By March 1787, they formed a fund raising committee, and
Carroll solicited formal proposals for an "academy, at George-town, Patowmack-River, Maryland."[13] The District of Columbia's borders wouldn't be defined until the passage and
implementation of the Residence Act in 1790.[14]
It was no accident that the Federal capital was
located nearby, for the Carrolls were influential in the
selection of the location. John Carroll’s “older
brother Daniel Carroll II (1730–1796) became one of only five men to sign
both the "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union" (1778) and the Constitution of the United States (1787).[3] His cousin Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737–1832) was also an important member of the
Revolutionary Patriot cause, and was the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence (1776).” ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carroll_(archbishop_of_Baltimore) ) Relative Daniel Carroll, “cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton,
and Charles Carroll "Barrister" was “educated
at the Jesuit School at Bohemia Manor, Md., and at St. Omer's College, France;
returned to Maryland in 1748; member of the Md. state executive council,
1778-1781; member of the Continental Congress, 1781-1783, signing the Articles
of Confederation on March 1, 1781; appointed a delegate on May 26, 1787, to the
convention that framed the Federal Constitution, and signed the Constitution;
member of the Md. state senate, 1781-1789; president, 1786-1787; elected as a
Pro-Administration candidate to the First Congress (March 4, 1789-March 3,
1791); took an active part in fixing the seat of government for the United
States; appointed on March 4, 1791, as one of the commissioners to locate the
District of Columbia and the Federal City and served until July 25, 1795, when
he resigned; engaged in agricultural pursuits, his farm being the site of the
present city of Washington” (see https://history.house.gov/People/Listing/C/CARROLL,-Daniel-(C000187)/
) “One of three commissioners appointed to survey the newly
designated District of Columbia and acquire land for the new federal capital in the
District, Carroll was related to two major landowners whose land was acquired
by the government, his brother-in-law Notley Young and nephew Daniel Carroll of
Duddington. The new United States Capitol was to be built on the wooded hill owned by his nephew.[7]”” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Carroll
Charles Carroll of Carrollton sat on the board of
the Potomac Company along with George Washington, setting the spark for the
Federalist movement to replace the Articles of Confederation with the Federal
Constitution. “Carroll saw the Constitution for his politics of spirit, which
was rooted in Catholic corporatism.” He wanted the Federal Government to
control money, and not the States. https://books.google.com/books?id=NgfeF50UeD0C&pg=PA190&lpg=PA190&dq=committee+to+locate+federal+capital+washington+carroll&source=bl&ots=fv5BKde5LO&sig=ACfU3U2W53gBI65XpZRaxyHgdDuvVsirfQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjks8ziuLvpAhXLna0KHfr6DEsQ6AEwEnoECBUQAQ#v=onepage&q=committee%20to%20locate%20federal%20capital%20washington%20carroll&f=false
“Carroll inherited vast agricultural estates and
was regarded as the wealthiest man in the American colonies when the American Revolution
commenced in 1775.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Carroll_of_Carrollton
“Subdividing the federal city, or District
of Columbia, into plats was the task of an artistic Parisian engineer named
Pierre-Charles L’Enfant. According to Dr. James Walsh in his book American Jesuits,
L’Enfant got the job through the intercession of his priest, John Carroll.” - https://archive.org/stream/F.TupperSaussyRulersOfEvilUsefulKnowledgeAboutGoverningBodies/F.%20Tupper%20Saussy%20-%20Rulers%20of%20Evil%2C%20Useful%20Knowledge%20About%20Governing%20Bodies_djvu.txt
Jesuit influence is reflected in much of what the
centralized Federal Government has become and promoted since its beginnings.
This same power and influence can be used and is being used to bring the USA
down, in order that the Jesuits can transition to the next phase in their
agenda.
However, we should not fear that the coming phase
of Jesuit power in the world is permanent.
Indeed, its days are very limited.
There is good reason to believe God will bring down the Jesuit Papal
superpower and replace it with what is described in Jeremiah 12:15: “"And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I
will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man
to his heritage, and every man to his land." John Calvin comments
concerning this text:
"God does not only
promise mercy here to the Jews, but also to heathen nations, of whom he would
be the Judge, to punish them for the sake of his people. And that this passage
is to be extended to aliens is evident from the context; for the Prophet
immediately adds, “And it shall be, that when they shall learn the ways of my
people, to swear in my name, Live does Jehovah, as they have taught my people
to swear by Baal, then shall they be built in the midst of my people.” We hence
see that God would not only shew mercy to the remnant of his elect people, but
also to their enemies. If it be objected, — that thus God’s favor, manifested
towards the children of Abraham, was obscured, the answer is, — that this
availed much to confirm the hope of the faithful; for they had not only to look
for their own salvation, but also for that of their enemies, whom God would
gather together with them. Thus God rendered double
his favor to the Israelites. The Prophet also in this place confirms in a
striking manner the confidence of the faithful; for he says that God would be
merciful even to their enemies for their sake, as they would be saved in common
with themselves. We now then understand the object of the Prophet, when he
declares, that God, after having drawn out the Gentiles from their own
countries, would again be merciful to them, so as to restore every one of them
to their own inheritance and to their own place."
This verse gives great
hope to all of mankind, for all of the nations (both the Jewish nation and the
Gentile nations) shall enjoy the salvation in Jesus Christ. This salvation will
not only have spiritual consequences, but also political consequences, for
after divine judgments will follow a period when each nation and people group
will be returned "to his heritage" and "to his land".
God will thus bring down every Babel that manifests itself in history
(including the one prophesied in Revelation chapters 17 and 18). Those
who seek to maintain "Babel" will in the long term be greatly
disappointed. It is God's plan that the earth will be covered with Biblical
Christian ethnic homeland nations which serve the Lord. For a further explanation of how this is
prophesied, please see http://www.historicism.net/aBrakel.htm .
