Of establishing an unlawful enterprise for the purpose of crime: (45 CE) That Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) aided by Josephus ben Matthias (St. Luke) and other members of the House of Ananus did set up an unlawful enterprise called “Christianity” for the sole purpose of pursuing criminal activities according to the following objectives: 1. Render the Gnostic teachings of Jesus and the Nazarenes ineffective by producing a counter religion claiming to be the only true faith that focuses on simplistic symbolism, conformity and a hatred of knowledge. 2. Perpetuate the strength and credibility of canonical Jewish sacred texts created by Jeremiah, Baruch, Nehemiah and Ezra by incorporating these texts as a key part of the liturgy of the religion. 3. Destroy all texts, references to Gnosticism and any evidence to history that threatens objective 1 or 2. 4. Where is not possible to destroy, re-write the evidence that contradicts claims. 5. Usurp all members of Jesus’s family and disciples and where possible ensure their death. 6. Structure the church so that the House of Ananus, the former Jewish High Priests and its descendents along with other selected Sadducee Jewish families maintain effective control over the church and are able to continue satanic rituals and human sacrifice with impunity. 7. Curse every “sheep” that chooses to follow Christianity blindly unaware of the god they truly worship. 3. Of obtaining property by deception: (45 – 48 CE) That Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) aided by the House of Ananus and other accomplices did obtain both money and property from generous Jews and non-Jews across several Hellenic cities under false pretences of assisting James the Just and the Apostles in their funding of food aid during the great famine. 4. Of receiving and trading the proceeds of crime: (45 -48 CE) That the House of Ananus did receive the proceeds of crime perpetrated by Paul of Tarsus for their own personal gain and to fund in the establishment and objectives of their criminal enterprise called “Christianity” including but not restricted to the production of false public documents relating to false accounts of the life of Jesus and the apostles and the recruitment of individuals to operate local representations of the criminal enterprise. 5. Of publishing false documents: (45 -48 CE) That the House of Ananus with the collaboration of Paul of Tarsus and Josephus ben Matthias, also known as St. Luke did deliberately and knowingly create false documents relating to alleged gospels of Jesus Christ including the deliberate inclusion of a modified set of the Babylonian Talmud in order to subvert the original Gnostic message of Jesus and his disciples and prevent the identity of the Jewish Sadducee High Priests as being Satanists from being clearly understood. 6. Of publishing false documents and indecent materials: (45 -48 CE) That the House of Ananus with the collaboration of Paul of Tarsus and Josephus ben Matthias, did public false statements concerning (1) the true Jesus Passover ceremony from a vegetarian and anti- human/animal sacrifice ritual to being a full body and blood satanic ritual of simulated human sacrifice (2) the true Nazarene respect for women being spiritual and ecclesiastical equals as being evil, not to be trusted and forbidden from having any spiritual significance and (3) the corruption of the rite of marriage according to Jesus from being a meeting of equals to a contract of property whereby the woman is effectively “sold” into slavery to the husband. 7. Of murder (58/59 CE) Upon being excommunicated by Pope James the Just, that Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) in the company of accomplices did travel to the region of Marseilles in the South of France and did commit the deliberate murders of full Roman citizens being Mary (Salome) the sister of Jesus and Mary Cleopas, the cousin of Jesus and Sara, the youngest of the children of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. 8. Of moral indecency and depravity: (52 CE onwards): That Paul of Tarsus and members of the House of Ananus, also being High Priests of the Jews did undertake new ceremonies of such moral indecency and depravity concerning the worship of satanic demons, human sacrifice and cannibalism under the guise of the “High Mass” of their religion called Christianity.

Of murder (58/59 CE) That Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) upon reaching the region of Marseilles in the South of France did commit the deliberate and premeditated murder of the full Roman citizen Jesus ben Joseph, otherwise known as Jesus the Messiah and Jesus Christ. Furthermore, that Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) did severe the head of Jesus from his body and return it and hand it as proof of his evil deeds to members of the House of Ananus in Jerusalem. That the House of Ananus did then hide the head of Jesus within the complex under the Great Temple, from which it was discovered by the Templers one thousand years later and named the “Baphomet”. 10. Of murder (61 CE) That Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) did travel to Britain and to Glastonbury the home of Joseph Ha-Rama-Theo (Arimethea), the legitimate King of Israel in exile, the father of Jesus, and did commit the murder of Mary, the mother of Jesus, also known as “Virgin Mary” and “Mary the mother of God”.

Of crimes against humanity: (62 – 71 CE): That Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) including members of the House of Ananus and other members of the criminal organisation known as “Christianity” did deliberately and consciously perform acts to cause public disorder causing death and therefore knowingly materially contributed to the subsequent civil war and revolt across Judea resulting in the eventual destruction of Jerusalem and the Great Temple and the loss of between 600,000 and 1,000,000 lives. 14. Of murder (62/63 CE): That Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul) whilst in prison upon the charges of murdering citizens of Rome and treason did conspire with members of the criminal enterprise known as Christianity to commit the murder of Mary Magdalene, the wife of Jesus and Martha the sister of Jesus in the region of Marseilles in the South of France. 15. Of causing major property damage: (64 CE) That Pope Linus, a British Prince and Son of Queen Boudica did deliberately set fire to multiple locations across Rome in an attempt to completely destroy the city and kill all the inhabitants.

    The Military Orders in Wales and the Welsh March in the Middle Ages In the later medieval centuries the Hospitallers’ estates in Wales were among the most extensive of any religious corporation there. In 1535, just before the dissolution of the monasteries, the commandery at Slebech was the third richest monastic house in Wales, after the Cistercian abbeys at Tintern and Valle Crucis.

  • The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief
    The Genesis of “The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief Br. Andrew R. Mączyński, MIC Author The Rule of the Ten Virtues of the Most B.V.M., or the Rule of the Ten Pleasures of the Most B.V.M. (Regula Decem Beneplacitorum Beatissimae Virginis Mariae), is one of the few religious rules approved in spite of the decree issued by the IV Lateran Council in 1215. This decree forbade the approval of the newly founded religious orders on any other than one of the previously approved rules. The Rule was composed by a Franciscan, Fr. Gilbert Nicolas, better known as Gabriel Maria, the name he received from Pope Leo X by his brief (breve) of June 11, 1517. By this act, the Pope wished to emphasize the special devotion that Fr. Gilbert had for the mystery of the Annunciation of the B.V.M. Gilbert Nicolas, who also appears in history under the name of Johanes Molezius, was born around 1460 in Riom in the Province of Auvergne, France. Influenced as a 16-year old youth by a sermon by a certain Franciscan preacher on the topic of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., he discerned his vocation to the religious life. In 1475, in Lafond, near La Rochelle, he joined the Franciscans of the Strict Observance. After completing his novitiate and pronouncing his religious vows, he was sent to the monastery in Amboise in order to continue his education that concluded at his priestly ordination and taking the post of a lector of theology.

Servite life in the Florentine priory of St. Mary of Cafaggio in the years 1286 to 1289. The approval of the Order On 11 February 1304, the Dominican Pope Benedict XI, then in the first year of his pontificate, sent a bull, beginning with the words Dum levamus, from his palace of the Lateran in Rome to the prior general and all priors and friars of the Order of the Servants of Saint Mary. With this, he gave approval to the Rule and Constitutions they professed, and thus to the Order of the Servants of Saint Mary which had originated in Florence some seventy years previously. For the Servants of Saint Mary a long period of waiting had come to an end, and a new era of development began for the young religious institute which had come to take its place among the existing religious orders. The bull, or pontifical letter, of Pope Benedict XI does not say anything about the origins of the Order; it merely recognizes that Servites follow the Rule of St. Augustine and legislation common to other orders embracing the same Rule.

  • The Popes and Saints on the Catholic Doctrine of No Salvation Outside the Church by Raymond Taouk
    The Popes and Saints on the Catholic Doctrine of No Salvation Outside the Church By Raymond Taouk This dogma has been affirmed many times over by the Churches Magisterium. It has been affirmed by Pope Innocent III (DS 423), The IV Lateran Council (DS 430), Pope Boniface VIII (DS 468), The Council of Florence (DS 714), Pope Pius IX (DS 1647), Pope Clement VI (DS 5706), The Council of Trent (DS 861) etc. We shall list some of the Popes and Saints of the Church and what they taught on this Catholic Dogma. Pope St. Clement I, A. D. 88-97: “Heretical teachers pervert Scripture and try to get into heaven with a false key, for they have formed their human assemblies later than the Catholic Church. From this previously- existing and most true Church, it is very clear that these later heresies, and this which have come into being since then, are counterfeit and novel inventions.” (Epistle to the Corinthians) St. Ignatius of Antioch: “Do not deceive yourselves, he who adheres to the author of a schism will not possess the kingdom of God.” [Epistle to the Philadelphians, 3 (CH 158)]. Saint Cyprianus: “Whosoever is separated from the Church is united to an adulteress. He has cut himself off from the promises of the Church, and he who leaves the Church of Christ cannot arrive at the rewards of Christ (…) He who observes not this unity observe not the law of God, holds not the faith of the Father and Son, clings not to life and salvation.” [De Cath.

  • Doctrine of Discovery: Questions and Answers
    Doctrine of Discovery: Questions and Answers Q. What is the Doctrine of Discovery? The Doctrine of Discovery is a principle of international law dating from the late 15th century. It has its roots in a papal decree issued by Pope Nicholas V in 1452 that specifically sanctioned and promoted the conquest, colonization, and exploitation of non-Christian territories and peoples. Hundreds of years of decisions and laws continuing right up to our own time can ultimately be traced back to the Doctrine of Discovery—laws that invalidate or ignore the rights, sovereignty, and humanity of indigenous peoples in the United States and around the world. Q. Why does the Doctrine of Discovery still matter when it is over 500 years old? It is still in effect and is written into settled US law since 1823 about a land dispute between two individuals (Under Chief Justice John Marshall). It forms the basis for “Manifest Destiny,” the expansion into Indian lands. It is used to justify legal and forcible takeover of indigenous lands, without just compensation. The Discovery Doctrine is a concept of public international law expounded by the United States Supreme Court in a series of decisions, most notably Johnson v. McIntosh in 1823. In this Supreme Court case, Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the unanimous decision held "that the principle of discovery gave European nations an absolute right to New World lands." In essence, American Indians had only a right of occupancy, which could be abolished.” (Source: www.redlakenationnews.com/story/2017/06/15/news/doctrine- of-discovery-repudiated/61672.html) It is used to interpret Indian Treaties in a way that has undermined treaty rights.
