Pope Francis Confirms willingness to visit Uganda next year 2015: Well , wherever these servants of Satan(the popes) go , they leave behind not peace but DEATH, CHAOS, CONFUSION , SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS and DEVILS TO BIND A NATION. I think born again saints should start canceling this visit in Jesus’s name.

PAPAL BLESSINGS AND CURSES
"I will curse
your blessings" Malachi 2:2
We remember well the Armada of Philip II of Spain, sailing with all its glory, laden down
with soldiery, gold and papal blessings, to recapture England for the
pope! The papal blessings proved too
much for them – the Lord blew upon them
and they were scattered, mostly into watery graves. History is laden with examples of the deadly
nature of papal blessings.
This tract originated many years ago from the
Protestant Truth Society in London
and has been reprinted many times. Here
it is (an edited and slightly revised version of an updated edition published
by Protestant Publications of Australia), entirely relevant in view of the
courting of the Papacy today. At least
the papal “blessings” have been consistent!
Let it be understood: we are not saying that
the Lord permitted the disasters mentioned below to befall those who received
the papal “blessing” solely because of that “blessing.” We know that kings and presidents commit many
sins, and that God often punishes them temporally (as well as eternally when
they die) for their sins by so ordering events that they suffer tragedies and
disasters as a result of various political and religious and even natural
events. God is absolutely sovereign, “he
removeth kings, and setteth up kings” (Dan. 2:21), making use of these very
things to punish wicked rulers. The
Bible is full of examples. It is not the
case that the only sin they committed was seeking the blessing of the Roman pope,
nor that God only punished them when they committed this particular sin.
Nevertheless, this we can say with
certainty concerning each case: the papal blessing did not help any of
them (as they so often expected it to); and in fact they definitely added
to their sins by seeking his favour – a very heinous sin indeed. They courted the favours of the papal
Antichrist, they trusted in him, they turned to him – the greatest enemy of
Christ on the earth – and they found him to be a miserable help, an impotent
idol, powerless to prevent divine judgement, yea, even one of the principal
causes of it. The Lord indeed curses
what Antichrist blesses.
* Pope Pius IX sent the Golden Rose to the King of
Two Sicilies, and in less than a year he lost his crown and kingdom.
* The
same Pope sent his blessings to the Austrian Kaiser, and in less than a year he
lost Venetia, and suffered defeat in Sadowa.
* The
same Pope sent the Golden Rose to Queen Isabella of Spain, and in a short time she lost
her crown, and died in exile.
* He
sent the Golden Rose to the Empress Eugenie of France,
and in less than a year the Emperor and Empress lost their crowns, and both
later died in exile, and their only son was killed by Zulus in South Africa.
* The
Empress of Brazil
was blessed by the Pope. She and the
Emperor were dethroned and died in exile.
* The
Crown Princess of Brazil
was blessed by the Pope, yet she died in exile.
* The
Pope blessed the Emperor of Mexico, Maxmilian.
He was dethroned and killed by his people.
* The
Pope blessed the Emperor’s widow. She
became a hopeless maniac, and died in exile.
* The
Pope blessed a steamer filled with nuns en route to South
America in 1870. It never
reached its destination, every soul perishing.
* The
Pope blessed the floating palace bound from Monte Video to Buenos Aires.
It foundered two days later.
* In
1895 the Archbishop of Damascus, at Vittoria,
gave the Pope’s blessing to the Spanish troops and fleet, with the result that Spain lost two
fleets and two armies.
* In
1897 the Papal Nuncio blessed the grand “Charity” bazaar in Paris.
Within five minutes it was in flames, and nearly 150 of the aristocracy
perished, including the sister of the Empress of Austria.
* The
poor Empress of Austria received the Golden Rose. It was her death knell. She was murdered in Switzerland, her only son committing suicide
previously and her nephew losing his throne subsequently; whilst Austria had
ceased to exist as an Empire.
* King
Edward VII visited the Pope, and received as a mark of favour, a signed
photograph of Pope Leo XIII. At once
came news of a reverse to British troops in Somaliland,
and the king’s health began to fail and was never restored.
* The
Pope blessed Lord Denbigh, the Special Envoy of the British Sovereign. That very day disaster befell the British
Army in South Africa,
Lord Methuen being severely wounded, and the Papists in Parliament cheered the
news.
*
Princess Ena of Battenberg received the Pope’s blessing on her perversion and
marriage, 1923. Within a fortnight she
narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Romish anarchist, some 13 hapless
victims succumbing, and 80 others being wounded. Her wedding garments were bespattered with
human blood. In May, 1931, she, with her
husband (King Alfonso XIII) lost their throne and fled from Spain.
* The
Pope blessed Queen Natalie of Servia, on her perversion in 1906. She ended her days as a fugitive in exile,
her only son, the king, being murdered.
* The
Queen of Portugal – one of
the Orleans –
was blessed by the Pope. Her husband,
the king, and her eldest son, were murdered beside her in a carriage, and she
and her surviving son escaped – as exiles – to England, throneless. Portugal has been a republic ever
since.
* At the height of his power, the German Kaiser
visited the Pope, and received his blessing, 1908. He lost his throne, in 1918, and died in
exile. Germany became a crushed and
humiliated republic.
* In
1926 the Pope sent the Golden Rose to the Queen of Belgium. In 1934 the king was accidentally killed, and
at a later date the young Queen Astrid (who converted to become Queen) was
accidentally killed.
* In
1928 the Pope blessed the “Italia” air-ship, and gave it a “cross” to place on
the North Pole. The result was
fatal. The air-ship foundered, and broke
in two, half its crew being lost, whilst General Nobile was severely injured,
and was censured by an Italian committee.
It was the greatest fiasco of the age.
* After
Mussolini had murdered the people of Abyssinia
and sacked their country, the Pope blessed the Italians as “a great and good people”. Mussolini came to an inglorious end and was
hung upside down and his body mutilated.
* In
1961 Queen Elizabeth II visited the Pope, complying with his request to be
dressed in black. Since then her once
proud Empire has dwindled and her remnant island is seeking to lose its
identity and be gobbled up in Europe under the Treaty of Rome, in the Common
Market, to be subjugated far more effectively and economically to Rome. Also members of the Royal Family have had
continued contact with the Pope and have brought great troubles on themselves
and their subjects.
*
Prime Minister Nikita Krushchev did not have a direct audience with the Pope,
but worked to improve Vatican-Soviet relations.
He would not go himself, but sent his son-in-law, A.I. Adzubel and wife
to audience with the Pope on 7 March 1963.
On 16 October 1964 Mr. Krushchev is ousted from his powerful position as
First Secretary of the USSR. From then on he fades from the political
scene.
* On 2
July 1963 President John F. Kennedy audiences with the Pope for his
blessing. He committed more troops to Vietnam soon after, completely involving the USA in the
war. On 22 November 1963 President
Kennedy is assassinated.
* In
1964 Pope Paul presented the Golden Rose to Bethlehem.
Since then there has been nothing but trouble in Israeli territories,
especially in the “holy” places.
* On
12 May 1964 King Hussein of Jordan
audiences. On the 5 June 1967 his armies
are defeated by Israel
in the six-day war. He loses territory
to the state of Israel.
* On
12 October 1964 President Soekarno of Indonesia, at the height of his
power, audiences with the Pope and receives the highest Papal honour for a
layman. He is deposed from office in
February 1967.
* On 5
October 1965 Pope Paul VI visits New
York City to address the United Nations General
Assembly. He is met privately by
President Johnson, who hails the visit as a great occasion for the USA. He introduces his wife and daughter to the
Pope, and thereafter frequently attends mass at Roman Catholic cathedrals. On 1 April 1968 President Johnson virtually
resigns by announcing that he will not stand for re-election. He dies a year later. His three years in office were among the most
tragic in American history. More than
half a million US troops
were sent to Vietnam
without decisive result. He had to cope
with antiwar demonstrations unrest on the campus and negro riots. The prestige of the USA abroad was
at its lowest.
* On
24 April 1966 King Constantine and Queen Marie of Greece have an audience with the
Pope. On 21 April 1967 some Army
officers oust King Constantine in a coup-de-tat. On 12 December 1967 the King and his family
flee from Greece
after a counter “coup” in the King’s favour fails.
* On 5
February 1967 Senator Robert F. Kennedy audiences with the Pope at the start of
his election campaign. On 6 June 1968
Senator Kennedy is assassinated.
* On 1
June 1967 General De Gaulle who, along with the “Big Three” refused to allow
the Vatican
any representation on the Peace Council after the defeat of the Axis powers,
seeks reconciliation with the Papacy and audiences with the Pope. On 24 August 1969 De Gaulle resigns after the
defeat of his Constitutional Reform Bill.
* On
12 May 1967 Pope Paul VI visits Fatima in Portugal and is warmly welcomed by
the Premier Dr. Salazar. On 8 September
1968 Dr. Salazar has a stroke and is partly paralysed. He is replaced in office by Dr. Caetano.
* On
31 July 1969 Pope Paul VI visits Uganda
at the invitation of President Dr. Milton Obote, who is knighted by the Pope at
a special ceremony at which he blesses the people of Uganda. Dr. Obote is deposed in January 1971 and went
into exile as a result of a coup-de-tat by an Army officer, Idi Amin. For the next eight years the Ugandans suffer
under the tyranny of President Idi Amin.
On 10 September 1975 President Idi Amin audiences with the Pope. Forces from neighbouring Tanzania defeat
the armies of Idi Amin on 12 April 1979.
* On 29
September 1970 President Nixon visited the Pope to tell him of his decision to
withdraw all American troops from Vietnam. He is coolly received, with no blessing. In 1972 President Nixon wins the Presidential
election with a comfortable majority.
Unfortunately the story does not end here for Richard Nixon. He compromised by appointing a personal envoy
to the Vatican, as the US constitution
did not allow official representation.
On 21 December 1972 Nixon's son-in-law and daughter audience with the
Pope. On 24 August 1974 President Nixon
is forced to resign ignominiously over the Watergate affair.
* On
10 October 1970 Emperor Haille Sellasie of Ethiopia audiences. In 1972-73 his country is hit by severe
drought and famine. In August 1974 he is
deposed in a coup-de-tat and the Army takes over. He dies in captivity on 27 August 1975.
* On
30 November 1970 Pope Paul VI visits Pakistan to see cyclone damage and
sympathise with victims. In March 1971,
civil war breaks out and lasts more than a year. Many hundreds of thousands die and millions
become refugees. In April 1972 President
Yahaya Khan, who allowed the visit, is deposed after his armies are defeated in
war against India.
* When
Pope Paul VI visited Australia
in December 1970, he pronounced his blessing on Australia. “May God bless the great Australian
nation. May he grant it peace and
prosperity.” His followers were
delighted and expected great benefit to the nation but this is what actually
happened: on 27 April 1973 Prime Minister Whitlam audiences with the Pope, and
a few months later opens diplomatic relations with the Vatican, for the first
time in Australia's history – and without any mandate from the people. In the period that followed, the country was
hit by frequent strikes, intemperate demands for wage rises, business
recession, record rate of inflation of 17% and serious unemployment. On 25 December 1974 the city of Darwin is devastated by a
monstrous cyclone. On 13 December 1975
the Australian Labour Party is overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. Mr. Malcolm Fraser becomes Prime
Minister. On 10 December 1977, the
Australian Labour Party is again overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. Mr. Whitlam resigns from leadership of the
ALP.
* On 5 October 1972 Prime Minister Edward Heath of
Great Britain
audiences. On 17 December 1973 Britain drifts
into the grimmest economic and industrial crisis since World War II. On 4th March 1974 the Conservative Party is
defeated. Edward Heath resigns and in
February 1975 he is deposed from party leadership by Mrs. Margaret Thatcher.
* On
14 November 1972 ex-President Peron audiences with the Pope before returning to
Argentina
as new president. On 2nd July 1974
President Peron dies of a heart attack one year after taking office.
* On 9
April 1973 President Thieu of South
Vietnam audiences. On 24 July 1975 the armies of South Vietnam are completely routed by the Viet
Cong and North Vietnam. Thieu resigns and flees from the country.
* On 4
June 1975 President and Mrs. Ford audience with the Pope. On 4 November 1976 President Ford is defeated
at the elections and Jimmy Carter becomes President.
*
President Sadat of Egypt
had an audience with the Pope on 14 February 1978. He was assassinated on 7 October 1981.
* In
December 1979 Pope John Paul II visited Turkey and was received as head of
state by Prime Minister Suleiman Demirel.
On 12 September 1980 Mr. Demirel is deposed in a bloodless coup-de-tat
by Turkey's
military leaders led by Gen. Kenan Evren.
*
President Jimmy Carter not only highly eulogised Pope John Paul II when he
visited the USA
in October 1979, but even invited him to the White House and to address
Congress! He followed it up by making a
personal visit to the Vatican
on 23 June 1980. He was soundly defeated
at the elections in December 1980 by Mr. Ronald Reagan who won a landslide
victory. The double Papal “blessing” did
not help!
* Prime
Minister Masayashi Ohira welcomed Pope John Paul II to Japan on 23
February 1980. He died of a heart attack
on 12th June of the same year.
* Pope
John Paul II visited the Philippine Islands on February 23 in 1980, as usual
kissing the soil and blessing these islands.
Thereafter the islands were devastated by typhoons, with much loss of
life and millions of dollars’ damage.
Cardinal Sin, Archbishop of Manila, was reported in 1981 to have warned
that the economic conditions in the Philippines were worsening. President Marcos was ousted in disgrace. His successor Cory Aquino fell into
disfavour. One crisis after another.
* On 9
May 1980 Pope John Paul II visits Accra in Ghana and is
welcomed by Pres. Hilla Limann. On 1
January 1982 a military coup-de-tat led by Fl. Lt. Jerry Rawlings ousts the
government of Pres. Limann because of alleged corruption. He is arrested while attempting to flee the
country.
* On 2
June 1980 Pope John Paul II visited France and was given a state
reception by Pres. Valery Giscard
D'Estaing who also had a private audience with him. Hardly a year later in May 1981 he was
defeated at the elections by Mr. Francois Mitterand, the Socialist Party
leader.
* On 1
July 1980 the Pope begins a 10 day visit to Brazil. In 1982 Brazil officials admit a foreign
debt of $90 000 million. By 1983
starvation and famine grip parts of Brazil because of a five year
drought and economic crisis hits the nation.
* On
11th November 1981, Mrs. Indira Gandhi has an audience with the Pope. She is subsequently assassinated by members
of her Sikh bodyguard in November 1984.
* In
February 1982 the Pope visits Nigeria
and is received by President Shegari. By
1984 instability results and Pres. Shegari is ousted in a coup-de-tat by
General Muhamed Bahari. Pres. Bahari is
ousted in a “coup” by Gen. Joshua Dagonyara in 1985.
* In
June 1982 the Pope visits the Argentine and blesses Gen. Galtieri and senior
members of the Armed Services at open air mass.
Four days later his forces at Port Stanley
surrender to the British. Gen. Galtieri
is deposed. In October 1983 twelve
senior members of the Argentine Air Force die in a plane crash. Among them is Gen. Sigrido Martin Plessi,
Chief of Air Operations. Subsequently
General Galtieri receives 12 years in jail for his part in the war. What a blessing!
* Britain accepts
the “favour” of a Papal Visit – the first ever.
Timed for May, 1982, she is plunged into war with 95% Romanist Argentina
only weeks before.
* In September 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco dies
tragically in a motor car smash. She and
her husband had an audience with the Pope about two years earlier, while making
a propaganda film for Rome.
* In
May 1984, the Pope visits Papua
New Guinea and is enthusiastically
received. By 1985, violence rises to
crisis proportion – pack rape, murder, robbery.
* In May 1984, the Pope visited Guadalcanal, Honiara and blessed the Solomon
Islands and visitors from neighbouring Fiji and Vanuatu. By January 1985, Cyclone Eric followed 3 days
later by Nigel, extensively damaged homes and plantations in Fiji, Vanuatu. In March 1986, Cyclone Namu devastates the Solomon Islands, leaving half the nation
harmless, striking the islands of Sikaina, Malaita, Guadalcanal
and San Cristobel.
* On 13
August 1985, the Pope visits Bomenda in Cameroon and holds outdoor mass
nearby. One year later, a huge discharge
of poisonous gases suddenly escaping from the volcanic Lake Nyos
kills 2000 in villages on the outskirts of Bomenda.
* On 22
November 1986, the Pope is welcomed to New Zealand by Prime Minister Mr
David Lange. In August 1989, Mr Lange
suddenly resigns because he is unable to withstand the political pressures
against him – although his party was re-elected in August 1987. Personal scandal follows.
* On 25 November 1986, Mr John Howard, Leader of
the Opposition (Australia),
welcomes the Pope at Federal Parliament.
Here are excerpts from his speech of welcome: “You come as the most
revered Christian of our time…We welcome you as a revered leader of a great
church…the foremost member of the Christian faith…”!!! Mr Howard is dumped from leadership of the
Liberal Party after failing to win the general elections in 1988.
* On
26 November 1986, Mr Jeff Kennett announces that he would attend the papal mass
at Flemington Racecourse, although not a Roman Catholic, and meet the
Pope. We believe he did. By 1989 Mr Kennett is ousted from leadership
of the Liberal Party, six months after failing to win the state elections in Victoria.
* On
26 November 1986, Mr Barry Unsworth, Premier of New South Wales welcomes the
Pope at Sydney. The Australian Labour Party loses the State
elections in 1988 and Mr Unsworth is deposed from leadership.
* In
1987, America
simply reeled under an avalanche of papal blessing, with the gigantic Wall St. crash
occurring only weeks after the Pope’s departure!
WHAT
ABOUT PAPAL CURSES?
If Papal blessings spell disaster, no less do
Papal curses often result in temporal blessings:
* Pope
Pius IX cursed King Victor Emanuel, the Liberator of Italy, and also the
Italian Government that made Italy
free and Rome
its capital. The result was the rise of Italy to the position of a Great Power, until
the Pope blessed the Italian troops going to conquer Abyssinia,
since which they lost their whole Empire.
*
Garibaldi was excommunicated by the Pope for all his endeavours, especially the
overthrow of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
He became Italy’s
hero, whose name was everywhere revered, and to whom noble monuments were
erected.
* When
Bismarck and the King of Prussia proscribed the
Jesuits, the Pope cursed Prussia. It became a Great Power, overthrew Austria and France,
and was for years the most powerful Empire in Western
Europe – until, in an evil
day, its Ruler fraternised with the Pope.
* The Papal curses of King Henry VIII and Queen
Elizabeth brought blessing to England,
while Papal blessings to Ireland
have proved its ruin.
(We wonder: what temporal
judgement may come upon South Africa’s president, or the country itself, when
to all the other sins that have been committed since the fraudulent elections
in April 1994 this has been added, that the papal Antichrist set foot on our
soil in September 1995, and “blessed” our country?)
[This last paragraph was
written in 1996; and the answer is very evident!]
