Here is a fascinating Website:

According to the Website, Jack Chick makes the following accusations against the Catholic church:
| Quote: |
■ The Catholic Church keeps "the name of every Protestant church member in the world" in a "big computer" in the Vatican for use in future persecutions.
■ But the conspiracy is much broader than this, and it has been going on for a very long time. In the sixth century, for instance, Catholic leaders manipulated the Arabian tribesman Mohammed into creating the religion of Islam to use as a weapon against the Jews and to conquer Jerusalem for the pope.
■ The Jesuits instigated the American Civil War, supporting the Confederate cause and seeking to undermine the Union. When they failed, they arranged the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Later, they formed the Ku Klux Klan.
■ "Jesuits worked closely with Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin" to create Communism, and it was "believed that soon . . . Communism would rise up as the new strong daughter of the Vatican." It was Rome that instigated the Bolshevik Revolution and the murder of the czar�s family. The Communist "liberation theology" movement also is a Vatican plot.
■ The Nazi Holocaust of the 1940s was a Vatican-controlled attempt to exterminate Jews and heretics. Further, "Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco were backed by the Vatican for the purpose of setting up a one-world government to usher in the �Millennial Kingdom� under Pope Pius XII."
■ The Vatican conspiracy is so extensive that, through the Jesuits, Rome controls the Illuminati, the Council on Foreign Relations, international bankers, the Mafia, the Club of Rome, the Masons, and the New Age movement.
■ The Jesuits created the Jehovah�s Witnesses, Mormonism, Unity, Christian Science, and other religious groups.
■ "Pope John Paul II has been a good Communist for many years" and engineered a phony assassination attempt against himself in 1981 to shame Islam into warming relations with the Vatican, since the would-be killer was a Muslim. |
Chick got most of his information--or rather misinformation--from a fellow named Alberto Rivera. Rivera claimed to be a former member of the Jesuit order, and to know all this information from having been on the inside. Rivera further claims that the Jesuits instigated the Inquisition, even though the Jesuit Order was not even founded until 300 years after the Inquisition.
Investigation found that Rivera was a real nut case. The Jesuit Order has no record of Rivera, and furthermore, he was married and sired two children during the time that he was supposed to be serving the Order.
Although the Catholics have their own ax to grind, I found this fascinating reading.
If you wish, I'll write a similar message, refuting what Chick has to say about Evolution. |
