From the South Side of Chicago to the Papal Throne, Leo XIV is now the first American ever elected as Pope. Robert Prevost was inspired to choose his name by Leo XIII, who is known for creating a dialogue between the church and the modern world during the time of the Industrial Revolution. Leo XIV has said he believes we need to update this dialog, and that we’re in the midst of a Fourth Industrial Revolution of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. JD Vance expects the Pope will have a major role in helping us with the major societal changes AI will inevitably bring.
Pope Francis was intimately involved in facilitating Prevost’s rise in the Church. On January 30, 2023, Francis appointed Prevost prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, elevating him to cardinal nine months later. As cardinal he made statements about “divisions and polemics” being a problem for the church. Leo is less concerned with doctrine and faith and more with unity, insisting that a preoccupation with doctrine will lead you from knowing Christ. He has declared complete commitment to the reforms set by the Second Vatican Council. He will continue to embrace reforms like Nostra Aetate, that define it as antisemitic to state the Pharisee were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ.
Robert Prevost is a company man. He will be a loyal son of Francis and continue in his footsteps. He’s already stated a commitment to inclusivity in the church. The current Pope has warned against turning divine liturgy into spectacle, but is that just rhetoric to appease the Trad Catholics? Don’t you worry, he will tighten control just enough to appease conservatives while trying to avoid open conflict with modernity. Pope Leo XIV pretends to be a conservative, but he’ll continue to minimize Catholic doctrine just like his predecessor. The Pope’s traditional grab is disguising a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Isn’t it odd that this self professed conservative and traditional Pope has been universally praised by mainstream media? No doubt the successor mirrors the predecessor.
Occult Machinations and the Corruption of the Church of Rome
Pope Francis reframed the Catholic tradition, moving teachings outside of scripture and doctrine by muddying boundaries. From having scantily clad circus performers twirling around at the Vatican, to praying at Mosques and Synagogues, he didn’t care much for tradition. Francis has always insisted everyone worships one god from Sikh, Hindu, to Muslim. Pope Francis followed a different philosophy from the Catholic Church. He is a Perennialism, an occult philosophy that goes back to the Renaissance figures of Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola.
Constantly promoting religious liberalism. From blessing the pagan idol Pacha Mama in the Vatican Gardens. He met with artist Andres Serrano, known for the image “Piss Christ” of a crucifix submerged in urine. No different than Pope John Paul II celebrating a statue of Buddha with the Dali Lama over the tabernacle of St. Peter’s Church in Assisi. This aberration goes back to the Renaissance with the teaching of concordia philosophorum being introduced into Catholicism – that there’s concord between paganism and Christianity.
Pope Francis is promoted as fighting against the priestly molestation in the church, when in reality he was protecting pedophiles like Cardinal Theodore McCormick, until public scrutiny forced him to defrock McCormick. Pope Saint John Paul II also allowed this molestation plague to persist. Even the supposed ultra-conservate Pope Benedict XVI was accused of covering up cases. Before becoming Pope, Robert Prevost also played spin-doctor, mishandling multiple cases of sexual allegations in both Peru and Chicago. The Church has long been taken over by a system of compromise and blackmail – which is why this plague continues to grow.
Pope Francis restricted access to the Traditional Latin Mass. A tradition that is over 1,000 years old. It was Pope Pius V who issued the papal bull creating the Tridentine Latin Mass in 1570, their roots back to the 4th century. In the past, people of England and Ireland have been fined, jailed, and killed for celebrating the rite. The Mass was celebrated around the world until the 2nd Vatican Council of the 1960s. Key prayers of the Mass; Te igitur, Memento Domine, and Quram oblationem, were in use by 400. Justin Martyr described the Eucharist in the 2nd Century. In his First Apology he writes of a simplified Catholic theology. Much of the rite relates to the sacrifice Jesus made on Calvary. This liturgy has sanctified most saints of the Church.
The Catholic Church morphed into the Church of Rome at the First Vatican Council, with the adoption of Papal Infallibility, making the pontiff omnipotent, immune and sovereign. Papal Infallibility has no place in the ancient, apostolic church. The church was sunk further into this abyss with the Second Vatican Council with the injection of liberalism, and co-option of the Church by U.S. alphabet agencies. It’s been one corrupt Pope after another since at least the 2nd Vatican Council. Tradition has been dulled beyond recognition. False theology was institutionalized at the 1st Vatican Council, and freedom was institutionalized at the 2nd Vatican Council – Americanism became the modus operandi. What the church previously condemned has become enshrined.
But this systemic perversion and corruption of the church goes back to the Renaissance – this revolutionary Kabbalistic and Talmudic gnosis has continued to dominate the inner sanctum of the Church ever since. Pope XIV’s namesake, Leo the 13th, was known as an enemy of the occult, who went after Freemasonry. But in his lengthy encyclical he never mentioned the Talmud, or Kabbalah. The root of Freemasonry is Kabbalah for gentiles. Writing and encyclical against Freemasonry without that is oxymoronic. The Church of Rome practices an occult philosophy of magic, astrology, and alchemy. This philosophical syncretism is melded with Christianity, hiding the prisca theologia. This revolution goes back to the 1600’s. From Sixtus IV, Alexander VI, Julius II, Leo X, Clement VII, Pius VIII, all have been practitioners of the occult.
The Psychological Battle for American Identity
Since the 1940’s America has been obsessed with exporting the ideology of the American Revolution; liberty, equality, freedom, and individual rights. Americanism was now worldwide. President Franklin D. Roosevelt set us on this course with his 1941 State of the Union address on “Four Freedoms.” Thus the Anglo-American Elite began reshaping the world in America’s image. At the same time, Henry Luce, creator of the world’s first newsmag, Life Magazine, argued that the 20th century should be dominated by the United States. We are obligated to create what he called “The American Century.”
Life showcased the values of liberty and democracy through imagery and storytelling. The magazine was exporting American culture to the world stage. This was done through the dark arts of psychological manipulation and ideological warfare. It was a form of cultural imperialism meant to subtly exert influence globally.
Myth-making was a potent way to reshape ideology. Creating myths of powerful foes that can be defeated with American ideas; it was tyranny and collective materialism against the collapse of freedom and individualism. The dialectics of bogeymen like American vs Fascist & American vs Communist gave ease to the promoting of false propaganda. Americanism went global with fighting the Red Scare with slogans like “Defeat the Fascist,” and later became the anti-communism crusade of the Cold War.
This stage was used to manipulate the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution into a blueprint for a sacred mission to fix the world; embodying the principles that define the nation’s soul, and bringing those principles to the world. Things like liberty, individual rights, and privacy were to become sacred.
The American elites began seeing the Catholic worldview as a threat to the American system; things like the prioritizing of human souls over material gains, the enforcing of a moral code, the obligation to orient society toward a common good, or the treating of wealth as an ultimate end. Government has to remain secular under American liberal ideology. The American Proposition was a doctrinal weapon developed by Henry Luce designed to inject Americanism into the veins of the Catholic Church – a spiritual entity that baptized the church in the Western liberal tradition.
American culture was historically based on non-interventionism and was rooted in an economy of production. This was no longer the case. After the Tragedy of the Two World Wars, we now had the Hope of spreading liberalism to the world. To accomplish this we had to shift to a more imperial and colonial model. The world was now required to crave wealth and consumption. Henry Luce also pushed to globalize this American liberalism with his World Economic Plan.
This mindset clashed with the vision of an American dominated century. The Catholic Church became a target because it needed Americanized; the church doctrine needed to be liberalized. Marking the end of an old world order. Instead of fighting religion, they harnessed it. The Church of Rome became a tool for U.S. intelligence agencies to spread its ideology, a vehicle the Anglo-American power structure used to evangelize the globe with American values, spreading the capitalist spirit. Religion was relegated to the sidelines. The intelligence establishments decided world religions would be infiltrated and forced to be supported by Americanism. The doctrinal warfare was about using longterm Strategies of Tension to exploit and exacerbate pressure between religious groups institutions and the co-opting of global intelligentsia. The new Gospel was to be about the Four Freedoms and the Freemarket. The Catholic was henceforth to remain distracted.
C.D. Jackson was an expert on psychological warfare during World War II. After the war he partnered with Henry Luce becoming managing director of Time-Life International. This became the playground for his psy-war skills; shaping perceptions and igniting passions. He helped fuse the media, finance, industry, and government into an apparatus to spread the American ideals of individualism and materialism. The doctrinal warfare program used prominent American Catholics like John Courtney Murry and John Lilly as clandestine cleric’s to spy on the Church, and to influence the Vatican to accept Americanism. Religion was no longer welcome to shape policy or dictate values. Wealth is now the prime decider.
Now as a fully functioning arm of the Anglo-American network of oligarchs, The Church of Rome became more entrenched in geopolitics and espionage than ever. The CIA director Wild Bill Donovan was instrumental in orchestrating the ties between the Vatican, NATO, and The P2 (Propaganda Due) Masonic lodge, and Cosa Nostra in Sicily. Church, State and mafia as unholy trinity. This was the brainchild of former CIA director Allen Dulles. These Cold War anti-communist Strategies of Tension culminated in Operation Gladio. The CIA, MI6, and NATO orchestrated terrorist attacks, falsely pinned on communists, to crush their influence across Europe. It was a covert tool for chaos. Some believe Pope John Paul I, who died 33 days after election, was assassinated because he wanted to break the links between Banco Ambrosiano and the Vatican after the P2 scandal. Pope John Paul II never censured or excommunicated an ecclesiastical official who was a member of the P2 Masonic Lodge. The relationship with the Holy See and the mafia has also remained intact.
The same power structure that co-opted the Catholic Church in the 1960’s is still the same power structure in charge today. This is the same Anglo-American Establishment who facilitated the rise of Technocracy, the same power structure intimately concerned with psychocivilizing the world. Will the church end up digitizing under Leo XIV? Will this pontifex help merge a divine authority and artificial governance? Cyber-sacraments are coming to a congregation near you.
