Are Roman Catholics Christians?

During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes identified himself as “deeply Catholic.” During the interview, he equated being a Roman Catholic with being a “Christian.” But he is not a Christian. Indeed, a person who is “deeply Catholic” cannot be a Christian. Roman Catholicism is antithetical to Christianity.

All true Christians protest against the heathenism of Roman Catholicism; that is why, historically, Christians have been given the label “Protestants.” A Roman Catholic who identifies as a Christian makes about as much sense as a Jew calling himself a Christian. Indeed, Roman Catholicism is essentially Judaism for Gentiles. I explain that truth in my book, Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great.

Fuentes’ Catholic moral compass points him to admire Joseph Stalin. The Catholic view of morality allows sinful acts if such acts achieve a supposed good end. In essence, under Catholic theology, the end justifies the means. Roman Catholics will deny this, but their official moral teachings impeach their denials. For example, one of the foremost Catholic theologians, Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologica, justifies stealing if the thief has an extreme need for the property. “It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another’s property in a case of extreme need: Because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need…. In a case of a like need a man may also take secretly another’s property in order to succor his neighbor in need.” Thus, the good end of fulfilling an extreme need may be accomplished by stealing the property of another. According to Aquinas, the good end justifies the evil means.

Fuentes’ Catholic ethic of the end justifying the means is contrary to the Christian ethic found in the Bible. The Bible states that the ends cannot justify the means. We are forbidden to do evil in order to obtain some good end. Bad means corrupt the intended good. “And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.” (Romans 3:8) Indeed, “whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” (Romans 14:23)

Fuentes’ Catholic moral compass that allows evil means to achieve a supposed good end is why, as Fuentes said during the Tucker Carlson interview, he was an admirer of Joseph Stalin. In Fuentes’ opinion, the good end of Russian industrialization justified Stalin’s brutal means to get there. Fuentes said that December 18th has special meaning to him because it is Stalin’s birthday, and he is a fan of Stalin. That statement was never expanded upon during the Tucker Carlson interview, but Fuentes did so in a prior broadcast.

And look, Stalin killed many people. There’s no question he’s an evil figure in history. He suppressed religion. Millions die in the collectivization of the farms, of agriculture. He killed probably directly millions of people in the purges, sent them to death by execution or in the gulags, and used slave labor to industrialize Russia. Like he is a brutal figure. No doubt about it. And yet, truly, a great man of history in multiple ways. One, at the end of the day, what he did it worked. He took Russia from a backwards agrarian serf economy, a sclerotic autocracy run by the czar into a world empire. His five-year plans, they worked. Yes, millions died. Yes, it required sacrifice. That’s a euphemism, I guess, what you could call that is a genocide essentially. But it worked. By prioritizing heavy machinery, by prioritizing factories, defense equipment, Russia industrialized. He dragged Russia out of the 19th century, or really the 18th century, into the 20th century.

It seemed incidental to Fuentes that Stalin was a genocidal maniac who, by some estimates, orchestrated the deaths of more than 20 million of his own people. That could be a low figure. The deaths from Stalin’s repression could be as high as 40 million. Dissident Marxist Historian Roy Medved, who was a leading authority on Stalinist Russia, researched the merciless brutality of Stalin’s labor camps, forced collectivization, famine, and executions. Medved estimated the number of deaths orchestrated by Stalin to be 40 million people.

Fuentes was only concerned with the end Stalin had in mind: dragging an agrarian Russia into the industrial age. The 20 to 40 million people who suffered torturous deaths under Stalin did not dampen Fuentes’ admiration of Stalin because, in Fuentes’ eyes, Stalin achieved his end of moving Russia into the industrial age. Fuentes’ approval of Stalin is a product of his adoption of the Catholic ethic that the end justifies the means.

Communism is Judaism

Fuentes is a fan of a brutal dictator who tortured, imprisoned, and killed millions because, in Fuentes’ mind, the end justified the means. Fuentes makes no mention of who was behind Stalin’s power. Fuentes must know who it was. He portrays himself as an historian who understands the depth and breadth of the Zionist plan for world dominion. He, therefore, must know that Stalin took control of the Bolshevik Revolution. Rabbi S. Wise stated in the May 5, 1935, American Bulletin: “Some call it Marxism I call it Judaism.” On April 4, 1918, The Jewish Chronicle stated that “the ideals of Bolshevism are consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism.”

Communism is actually a religious philosophy born of the Talmud and put into practice. But Fuentes, who claims to be a student of history, makes no mention of this. Rather, he admires the eventual leader of the Russian communist revolution, Joseph Stalin. He is critical of Jews in general, yet he gives the worst of the Jews a pass when discussing the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. The same Talmudic philosophy behind modern Zionism is also behind the communist international conspiracy against God and man.

In a 1971 White House recording released by the National Archives in 1999, President Richard Nixon revealed: “The only two non-Jews in the communist conspiracy were Chambers and Hiss. . . . Every other one was a Jew and it raised hell with us.” The Talmudic Jews have been successful in preventing any revelations about their involvement in establishing a new communist world order by labeling anyone who exposes their efforts an antisemite.

Many think that Zionism is the struggle by the Jews for a homeland. Zionism is much more than the Jews establishing a homeland. That is merely a cover for a much grander plan to rule the world. Zionism is the child of the Talmud, and Talmudism is communism. The communist revolution in Russia was planned and executed by Jews according to the doctrines of their Talmud. The Jews are people without any allegiance to any nation. Their primary objective is to own the entire world. To get and idea of the nefarious objective of these Talmudists, let us read an 1879 letter from Baruch Levy to Karl Marx:

The Jewish people taken collectively will themselves be their Messiah. Its reign over the Universe will be achieved by the unification of the other human races, the abolition of frontiers and monarchies, which are the bulwark of particularism, and the establishment of a Universal Republic which will recognise everywhere the rights of citizens to the Jews.

In this new organisation of Humanity, the sons of Israel, spread from now on over the whole surface of the globe, all of the same race and of the same traditional formation without, however, forming a distinct nationality, will become without opposition the leading element everywhere, especially if they succeed in imposing on the working masses the stable leadership of some of their number.

The governments of the Nations forming the Universal Republic will all pass effortlessly into Israelite hands, thanks to the victory of the proletariat. Individual property can then be abolished by the rulers of the Judaic race who will administer the public fortune everywhere. In this way the promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled, that when the Times of the Messiah have come, the Jews will hold under their keys the property of all the peoples of the world.

V.I. Lenin, supreme dictator, and Leon Bronstein (Trotsky), supreme commander of the Soviet Red Army, were both Jews. The Bolshevik Revolution was Jewish from top to bottom. Of 556 leading conspirators in the Bolshevik state in 1918-19 there were 17 Russians, two Ukrainians, eleven Armenians, 35 Latvians, 15 Germans, one Hungarian, ten Georgians, three Poles, three Finns, one Czech, one Karaim, and 457 Jews. As pointed out by Robert Wilton in his book The Last Days of the Romanovs, the communist revolution was not an insurrection by Russians, but rather a secret invasion by Jews. As of 1983, the Premier of the Soviet Union was a Jew (Andropov), and 23 out of 25 members of the Politburo (the Soviet ruling clique) were Jews. In addition, every top member of the Soviet military and police was a Jew.

Colonel Jack Mohr states: “One of the greatest difficulties of the Talmudic Pharisees has been that of bringing communism into power while trying to conceal its Talmudic origin.” However, the direct and circumstantial evidence that the communist revolution in Russia was a conspiracy perpetrated by Talmudic Jews is overwhelming. Circumstantial evidence that points to Jewish control of the communist revolution is that once the communists in Russia seized power, the first law they passed made anti-Semitism a crime punishable by death. While Christian church buildings were turned into animal stables, slaughter houses, and dance halls, the Jewish synagogues were untouched. Christian pastors were removed from their pastoral duties and made to work on roads and in slave labor camps, yet the Jewish rabbis were permitted to continue their clerical duties. “Some 200,000 (Christian) clergy, many crucified, scalped and otherwise tortured, were killed during the approximately 60 years of communist rule in the former Soviet Union, a Russian commission reported Monday (Nov. 27, 1995)…40,000 churches (were) destroyed in the period from 1922 to 1980.”

Historian Michael Hoffman II exposed the hidden meaning behind some of the bloodthirsty communist propaganda:

Lenin declared, “We are exterminating the bourgeoisie as a class.” His partner in crime, Apfelbaum (Zinoviev) stated: “The interests of the revolution require the physical annihilation of the bourgeoisie class.” Who were these bourgeoisie? Certainly not Jews. Trotsky gave a clue to their identity in a 1937 interview in the New York Jewish newspaper, Daily Forward: “The longer the rotten bourgeoisie society lives, the more and more barbaric will anti-Semitism become everywhere.”

Bourgeoisie was a Bolshevik code-word for Gentile. The first law passed after the Communists seized power in Russia made anti-semitism a crime punishable by death. (Izvestia, July 27, 1918).

* * *

The Jewish Bolsheviks regarded politics as a branch of Gentile pest control. Hatred of Christians, especially the peasant “bourgeoisie” was their prime motivation. The systematic destruction of the Christian peasantry of Russia as so many vermin, beginning with Lenin’s attack on them in the summer of 1918 and his forced starvation in 1921, has been almost completely ignored in Western history.

The Talmudic Jews have been successful in preventing any revelations about their involvement in establishing a new communist world order by labeling anyone who exposes their efforts an anti-Semite.

The Inquisition

The same ethic of the end justifies the means that Fuentes found so appealing about Stalin, we find in the Roman Catholic slaughters of Christians. Would the “deeply Catholic” Fuentes also wink at those slaughters as being justified by the end of Catholic hegemony? Although the persecution of Christians had been taking place unabated since the first century, in 1179, Pope Alexander III and the Lateran Council urged the use of force and established incentives for violence against Christians, such as two years remission of penance for those who murdered a “heretic.” In 1231, Pope Gregory IX formally established the papal inquisitional tribunal (inquisitio haereticae pravitatis). In 1252, Pope Innocent IV expressly authorized the use of torture, which by then had already been the established practice of the Catholic Church for centuries. The enemies of the Roman Catholic Church were called “heretics.” These so-called “heretics” were often tortured, mutilated, and burned at the stake. Their goods were confiscated, condemning their descendants to a life of penury. Thomas Aquinas (1226-1274), a Catholic saint, wrote: “It is more wicked to corrupt the faith on which depends the life of the soul than to debase the coinage which provides merely for temporal life; wherefore if coiners and other malefactors are justly doomed to death, much more may heretics be justly slain once they are convicted.”

During the Inquisition, millions of people were killed as enemies of the Catholic Church. In one day alone (August 24, 1572), between 50,000 and 100,000 Huguenots (French Protestants) were massacred in Paris during the St. Bartholomew Day Massacre. Pope Gregory XIII received the news with great rejoicing and, in grand procession, went to the Church of St. Louis to give thanks. He ordered the papal mint to strike coins in commemoration of the massacre. The coin depicted an angel with a cross in one hand and a sword in the other, before whom a band of Huguenots, with horror on their faces, are fleeing. The inscription “Ugonottorum Stranges 1572″ (“The Slaughter of the Huguenots 1572″) appeared on the coin.

Just as the Jewish religious leaders did with Jesus, the Roman church ordinarily turned Christians over to the secular authorities to carry out the death penalty. In 1542, Pope Paul III established an inquisitional office in the Vatican called the “Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition” to fight the spread of Protestantism. In 1908, Pope Pius X dropped the word “inquisition” from the title of the office, and it came to be known as simply the “Holy Office.” On December 7, 1965, that office was renamed the “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.” The title sounds innocuous enough, but there is a long and bloody history attached to that office; in fact, the public burnings of “heretics” were called autos-da-fe or “acts of faith.”

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith still exists in the Catholic church today, holding meetings once a week with the Pope periodically presiding. The office still occupies the Palace of the Inquisition, which is adjacent to the Vatican. One Grand Inquisitor was the former archbishop of Munich, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. Because of the importance of his position as the chief enforcer of dogma, Ratzinger was viewed by many as the most powerful cardinal in the Catholic Church. Ratzinger was later elected as Pope Benedict XVI.

Lord Acton, an esteemed nineteenth-century Roman Catholic historian, is the source for the famous quote about kings and popes: “power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” He had this further to say: “The papacy contrived murder and massacre on the largest and also on the most cruel and inhuman scale. They [the popes] were not only wholesale assassins, but they made the principle of assassination a law of the Christian Church and a condition of salvation. [The papacy is] the fiend skulking behind the Crucifix.”

Samuel Morse stated: “The ratio of increase of Popery is the exact ratio of decrease of civil liberty.” That is because the authoritarianism of the papacy is incompatible with the concept of God-given individual rights. Cardinal Giuseppe Melchior Sarto (later elevated to Pope Pius X) stated that “when one speaks of the Pope, it is not necessary to examine, but to obey … no rights must be set up against the rights of the Holy Father.”

Samuel Morse revealed the Catholic political conspiracy against the United States under the cloak of a religious mission in his 1835 work, Foreign Conspiracy Against the Liberties of the United States. The liberty enjoyed in the United States by its republican form of government is viewed as a direct threat to the despotic governments of the world, including the Vatican.

Illegal Immigration Fostered by The Roman Catholic Church

Fuentes does not realize that the very thing that he views as a threat to the liberties enjoyed in the United States, illegal immigration, is being fostered by the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church justifies giving aid and comfort to illegal aliens, stating that it is giving “support to all immigrants regarding their basic and pressing needs.” (italics in original) In reality, the RCC is running an underground operation, facilitating the flood of illegal aliens into the U.S. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton brought legal action against a Catholic nonprofit, alleging that it facilitates illegal immigration, harbors people who entered the country illegally, and participates in human trafficking.

Peter Feuerherd, writing for the National Catholic Reporter, acknowledged that “U.S. bishops have long pushed for comprehensive immigration reform that would legalize many of the undocumented.”

Protestant Christianity is a clear and present danger to the Roman Catholic Church. Monarchy is the very nature of the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican officially describes itself as follows: “Vatican City State is governed as an absolute monarchy. The Head of State is the Pope who holds full legislative, executive and judicial powers.” That statement has since been removed from the official Vatican website. But the truth of the statement cannot be removed. This author was able to track down an archived copy of the deleted page. The Pope is a monarch who claims absolute power.

The flood of illegal immigrants has been happening for many decades. The flood of Catholics, bringing with them their superstitious religion and their blind obedience to Papal political instructions, did not go unnoticed by patriotic liberty-loving Americans of the past. They could see clearly the increased influence of Rome over the elections of public officials by guaranteeing to politicians a Catholic block of votes. Native Protestants realized that in order to stem this threat to their liberties, they must also vote as a single block. Protestant Americans formed the Native American Party (1845-1855) and the American Party (1855-1860). The American Party’s Presidential Nominee in 1856 was former U.S. President Millard Fillmore. That brief period of Protestant American political reaction to the influx of Catholic immigrants and their block voting in elections is commonly known as the “Know-Nothing” movement. The movement only lasted approximately 15 years and then died out. The United States, with few exceptions, has ever since been guided by politicians who owe their political success to their allegiance to Israel and Rome. As a result, the United States is being transformed from a decentralized land of liberty, where the people ruled, to a centralized land of oppression, ruled by autocrats.

That is a strategy that one can see taking place to this very day with the flood of illegal immigrants from Latin America, most notably Mexico. Approximately 70% of illegal immigrants in the United States today are Roman Catholic. The Roman Catholic Church gets an assist from the Jews. During the Biden Administration, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) recieved hundreds of millions of dollars in US funding through the Office of Refugees Resettlement (ORR). HIAS used that money to organize the flooding of illegal aliens into the U.S.

Roman Catholicism is Judaic to its core. Indeed, the Vatican College of Cardinals is the Roman Catholic version of the Jewish Sanhedrin. The College of Cardinals, like the Sanhedrin, has traditionally had 71 members. However, that number has been expanded in modern times. The members of the College of Cardinals are called cardinals for a reason. Cardinal means “chief, principal, preeminent, or fundamental.” The Catholic Cardinals fill the office of the Jewish “chief” Priests who, along with the scribes and elders, were members of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin selected the High Priest who was the head of the Sanhedrin, just as the cardinals select a Pope who is the head of the College of Cardinals. The seventy-first member of the Sahehdrin is the High Priest. The Catholic corollary to the High Priest is the pope, who as head has traditionally been the seventy-first member of the College of Cardinals.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in 2013 there were approximately 11.5 million illegal aliens in the United States. In 2013, the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers (NAFBPO) alleges that DHS is under-reporting the actual number of illegal immigrants. NAFBPO states that as of 2013, there were approximately 18-20 million illegal aliens in the United States. That number is many factors greater today.

Kevin Appleby, Director of Migration and Refugee Policy for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, advocates amnesty for illegal aliens, but without actually using that word. Appleby also avoids using the term “illegal alien.” He instead refers to illegal aliens as “undocumented” and “working without papers.” Interestingly, Appleby admits that the Catholic Church has directly benefitted from a liberal immigration policy. He and the Catholic bishops, no doubt, expect that the Catholic Church will benefit further from an amnesty program for illegal aliens.

Appleby admitted that the Roman Catholic Church as an organization is presently giving aid and comfort to illegal aliens. Cardinal Mahony and the Catholic hierarchy want to encourage and give aid and comfort to the illegal immigrants from Mexico, because, according to the 2010 Mexican census figures, 91% of Mexicans are Roman Catholic.

“The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) opposes ‘enforcement only’ immigration policies and supports comprehensive immigration reform.” Of course, the pope supports the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ position on immigration reform. Indeed, they are following his orders. Don’t be fooled. All immigration reform legislation will be part of efforts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. If future immigration reform legislation passes, it will change the political landscape significantly toward the socialist/fascist ideals of group privileges flowing from the government and away from Christian constitutional principles of individual rights that flow from God.

Immigration reform (which is a euphemism for amnesty) advocated by the Catholic Church will make instant citizens of illegal aliens and tip the political scales significantly toward further erosion of liberty in the United States. There will be a huge new obedient block of Roman Catholic voters who will elect officials who will pander to the fascist/socialist agenda and further disintegrate biblical Christian values.

The official pronouncements of the Catholic Church in the United States, going back over 100 years, confirm the fact that the Catholic Church is antagonistic to liberty. “If Catholics ever gain a sufficient numerical majority in this country, religious freedom is at an end. So our enemies say, so we believe.” The Shepherd of the Valley (official journal of the Bishop of St. Louis, Nov. 23, 1851). “No man has a right to choose his religion.” New York Freeman (official Journal of Bishop Hughes, Jan. 26, 1852). “The Church . . . does not, and cannot accept, or in any degree favor, liberty in the Protestant sense of liberty.” Catholic World (April 1870).

Pope Pius IX on December 8, 1864 issued an encyclical letter Quanta Cura, containing the Syllabus Errorum, in which he condemned freedom of conscience as “an insane folly” and freedom of the press as “a pestiferous error, which cannot be sufficiently detested.” In the Syllabus Errorum Pope Pius stated: “No man is free to embrace and profess that religion which he believes to be true, guided by the light of reason.” Pope Gregory XVI (1831-46) viewed freedom of conscience and the press as absurd and mad concepts, not only within the church but in society as a whole.

The foundation of the Romish church is blind obedience; the foundation of the United States is Liberty. As Richard Thompson, former U.S. Secretary of the Navy, stated in his book The Papacy and the Civil Power: “Nothing is plainer than that, if the principles of the Church of Rome prevail here, our Constitution would necessarily fall. The two cannot exist together. They are in open and direct antagonism with the fundamental theory of our government and of all popular government everywhere.” The papacy must destroy the United States Constitution in order to impose her will and claim of ownership on America. Our First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that: “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” That single principle alone makes the United States a mortal enemy of the Vatican. Pope Pius IX in his 1864 Syllabus Errorum stated: “The [Roman] Church ought to be in union with the state, and the State ought to be in union with the [Roman] Church. . . . It is necessary even in the present day that the Catholic religion shall be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship.” The Roman Catholic Church will not tolerate freedom of religion; its history demonstrates its intolerance of other religions and the future, sadly, will confirm its intolerance. When the Catholic Church is insufficiently powerful, it acts as a harmless lamb, biding its time until it becomes more powerful. The Catholic Church is trying to gain political hegemony in the United States by increasing the population of obedient Catholics through illegal immigration. James A. Wylie explains that when the Catholic Church determines it has sufficient power, it will then throw off its sheep’s clothing and reveal itself as a ravening wolf.

Pope Martin V (1417-1431) ordered the King of Poland to exterminate the Hussites. The Hussites were followers of John Huss who was a Christian burned at the stake by the Catholic authorities in 1418. Former Catholic priest Emmitt McLoughlin explains that the papacy draws its strength from the principle of the “divine right of kings,” of which the pope claims primacy. In the United States, however, the government is based upon the Protestant principle of the “consent of the governed.” The two principles are antithetical. McLoughlin states that the animosity born by those irreconcilable differences was the driving force behind the pope’s conspiracy to assassinate President Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln personified the great success of the Protestant principles of government despised and loathed by the pope.

Under the United States Constitution, the people are free and supreme, subject only to God, and the government officials are servants of the people. In the Catholic Church, on the other hand, the pope claims a divine right to rule as supreme over all mortals and kings, and the people are slaves to obey his commands as the “infallible Vicar of Christ.” The two systems cannot coexist; they are antithetical polar opposites. If Rome is to rule, it must destroy the United States.

Marquis de Lafayette was convinced of the Roman conspiracy. He said that “[i]f the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the Catholic clergy.”

Indeed, the ascension of the papacy in the world necessarily brings with it a concomitant erosion of liberty. Everywhere in the world where the Roman church has hegemony, there is found a powerful state stamping out freedom and standing at the ready to do the bidding of the papacy to persecute the true church of Jesus Christ. While it appears to the people in Catholic countries that the state is independent and sovereign, that is not truly the case. The papacy holds the reins of government, as is depicted in Revelation, where the great Roman whore, decked in purple and scarlet, is described riding the beast of government.

[A]nd I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. (Revelation 17:3-6)

Those of God’s elect who are still in the Roman Catholic Church are ordered by God to come out of that great harlot church.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. (Revelation 18:4-6)
