Quotes
Angelo Roncalli, who later became Pope John XXIII, was allegedly a member of the Prieuré de Sion and the related secret society Rose-Croix.206 According to the Roman Catholic publication Sodalitium, in 1961, John XXIII reinstated the Knights of Malta and rescinded the prohibition of Roman Catholics holding membership in Freemasonry. ...........In June 1960 Pope John XXIII published an encyclical letter on ‘The Precious Blood of Jesus. In that encyclical letter Pope John XXIII stated that it was the suffering of Jesus and shedding of his blood that was the source of the redemption of mankind. This encyclical statement reduced the significance of Jesus’ death and resurrection. The letter alters the whole basis of Christian theology. If Jesus redeemed man through his suffering alone, then his death and resurrection become superfluous. Now, under Catholic theology, the death and resurrection of Jesus it is no longer a necessary tenet of the Catholic church. John XXIII’s encyclical implicitly puts a hole in Catholic theology into which can fit nicely the Merovingian myth that Jesus did not die, but instead recovered from the crucifixion and fled to France with his wife, Mary Magdalene and offspring. That was the story line behind The DaVinci Code. It was also the basis for the Roman Catholic Mel Gibson movie, The Passion of the Christ, which overemphasized Jesus’ suffering as a man, and made no clear statement about his divinity. Gibson’s movie omitted Jesus’ virgin birth and ascension into heaven. [2011] Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great by Edward Hendrie
