“Stephen IX (X), French Abbot of Monte Cassino, Benedict’s monastery, becomes pope and surrounds himself with leading “Reformers” per the Merovingian mandate to “Reform the Church” (meaning “Crush the Church” per the conspiracy).” - Merovingian Infiltration of the Christian World Through Monasticism

        Honorius II (1061-1072)

 

157) St. Gregory VII (1073-85)

“Gregory VII of Tuscany, part of the Carolingian kingdom of the Franks, and Cluniac monk becomes pope and transforms the Church into a legal institution with a monarchial form of government. He seems not to have played his “expected role” as he came into conflict with the Holy Roman Emperor when he issued a general ban on lay investiture. He died exiled captive of the Normans.” - Merovingian Infiltration of the Christian World Through Monasticism

       Clement III (1084-1100)

“Victor III, Abbot of Monte Cassino, Benedict’s monastery, becomes pope.” - Merovingian Infiltration of the Christian World Through Monasticism

159) Bl. Urban II (1088-1099)

“Urban II, French Prior of Cluny (Reformed Benedictines) becomes the pope. Urban was of the “Eudes” family, not only the name of the King of the Franks, Eudes, who ruled 888 to 898 and considered one of the antecedent kings of the Capetian House of France, but also the name of the Royal Capetian line of Burgundy, great grandson of Hugh Capet, Eudes I the RED of Burgundy who acceded 1079, NINE years before Urban (Eudes) became pope. And Eudes the Red acceded in that specific year because his brother, Hugh I of Burgundy, had abdicated to become the Prior of Cluny!  Now something is very amiss here ! Is this just coincidence ? Both were sons of Henry of Burgundy who married Sibylle of Barcelona. Henry was son of Robert I of Burgundy, who was the son of Hugh Capet. Barcelona, home of their mother, was part of the Spanish March connected to Septimania and, here too, the Duke of Aquitaine in 1012 was Eudes of Aquitaine ! And Aquitaine and Septimania are extremely significant :

It happens that Septimania (Languedoc) is exactly where the Jesus-Magdalene heresy flourished, and where there was a large population of Cathar Jews who were given independent status by Pepin, Carolingian King. Thence their own kings ruled as: “seed of the Royal House of David”, each acknowledged as “King of the Jews”...” - Ibid.

160) Paschal II (1099-1118)

“Certainly a religious Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulcher under the Rule of Saint Augustine was founded early in the twelfth century, and this Order soon established itself across Europe and acquired great wealth.” - The Papal Orders

169) Hadrian IV (1154-1159)

“The Order of Canons [of the Holy Sepulcher under the Rule of Saint Augustine] was an important institution and, in 1155, when Pope Adrian IV wrote to Raymond, Count of Barcelona he coupled the Holy Sepulcher brothers with the Hospitallers and Templars, who were of course military monks, but did not imply that the Canons were fulfilling a similar role.” - The Papal Orders

177) Honorius III (1216-1227)

 

178) Gregory IX (1227-1241)

“The Jewish writer Cecil Roth speaks abundantly in his work ‘Storia del Popolo Ebraico,’ of the condemning of the ‘Talmud’ through Pope Gregor IX and his successors up to that of Pope Leo X in the XVIth century…according to which the work was destructive and blasphemous.” – Maurice Pinay, The Plot Against the Church, pp. 150-151

194) Bl. Benedict XI (1303-04)

 

195) Clement V (1305-1314)

"[King] Phillip IV passed the [incriminating evidence] on to Pope Clement V and the king and the pontiff conspired to lure the Grand Master of the Order, Jacques de Molay, into a trap on French soil... In reality the wily king was plotting the downfall of the Templars and the death of de Molay. The knights were staying at the Templar citadel in Paris and on 13 October 1307 the king executed his plan. Troops surrounded the building and everyone inside was placed under arrest. Within forty-eight hours warrants had been issued ordering the detaining of every Templar in France... On 22 November... the Pope issued a bull to all the Christian rulers in Western Europe ordering them to arrest any member of the Order residing in their countries. The fate of the Templars was sealed." - (25:35,36)

“As the smoke from the slow fire choked the life from his body, Jacques de Molay [Grand Master of the Knights Templar] is said to have issued an imprecation from the flames. According to tradition he called his persecutors - Pope Clement and King Philippe - to join him and account for themselves before the court of God within the year. Within a month Pope Clement was dead… By the end of the year Philippe was dead as well…The Templars possessed great expertise in the use of poisons and there were certainly enough people about…to exact the appropriate vengeance. Nevertheless, the apparent fulfillment of the grand master's curse lent credence to belief in the orders occult powers. Nor did the curse end there…” - Holy Blood, Holy Grail, p. 79

Avignon Papacy (1309-1377) begins

"In the history of the Roman Catholic Church, the Avignon Papacy was the period from 1309 to 1377 during which seven popes, all French, resided in Avignon: Pope Clement V: 1305–1314; Pope John XXII: 1316–1334; Pope Benedict XII: 1334–1342; Pope Clement VI: 1342–1352; Pope Innocent VI: 1352–1362; Pope Urban V: 1362–1370; Pope Gregory XI: 1370–1378." - Wikipedia

201) Gregory XI (1371-1378)

 

202) Urban VI (1378-1389)

"In 1378, Gregory XI moved the papal residence back to Rome and died there. Due to a dispute over the subsequent election, a faction of cardinals set up an antipope back in Avignon: Clement VII: 1378–1394 / Benedict XIII: 1394–1423 (expelled from Avignon in 1403) This was the period of difficulty from 1378 to 1417 which Catholic scholars refer to as the 'Western schism' or, 'the great controversy of the antipopes' (also called 'the second great schism' by some secular and Protestant historians), when parties within the Catholic church were divided in their allegiances among the various claimants to the office of pope. The Council of Constance in 1417 finally resolved the controversy." - Wikipedia 

Western Schism (1378-1417) begins

"The Western Schism or Papal Schism (also known as the Great Schism of Western Christianity) was a split within the Catholic Church (1378 - 1417). By its end, three 'popes' (or one holy Pope and two unholy antipopes) claimed to be the true Bishop of Rome. Lacking any real theological or doctrinal underpinnings, being rather driven by politics, it was ended by the Council of Constance (1414). Simultaneous claims by three would-be Popes hurt the reputation of the office." - Wikipedia

203) Boniface IX (1389-1404)

 

204) Innocent VII (1404-1406)

 

205) Gregory XII (1406-1415)          Clement VII (1378-1394)

210) Pius II (1458-1464)

 

211) Paul II (1464-1471)

 

212) Sixtus IV (1471-1484)

"It should be remembered...that Sixtus IV (Pope, 1471-84) had himself translated seventy Cabalistic books into Latin, and that the concept of the 'Christian Cabala' was not peculiar to Italian thought." - 439:221

213) Innocent VIII (1484-1492)

"Innocent VIII, in his papal bull Summis desiderantes (5 December, 1484) instigated severe measures against magicians and witches in Germany; the principles enunciated by him were afterwards embodied in the Malleus Maleficarum (1487). It was also he who in 1487 appointed Tomas de Torquemada to be grand inquisitor of Spain; he was a strong supporter of the Spanish Inquisition; he also urged a crusade against the Waldensians, offering plenary indulgence to all who should engage in it. In 1486, he prohibited, on pain of severe ecclesiastical censures, the reading of the nine hundred propositions of Pico Mirandola." - Wikipedia

“…by the Bull Cum solerti meditatione pensamus of 1489, Pope Innocent VIII declared that the Perugia Superior's title of ‘Master’ should be accorded in perpetuity to the Grand Master of the Order of the Hospital of Saint John [Knights of Malta], depriving the Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulcher of its autonomous status.” - The Papal Orders

214) Alexander VI (1492-1503)

"Although condemned by a tribunal, Pico [della Mirandola]'s synthesis [of Hermetism and 'Christian Cabala'] was rehabilitated in 1493 by Alexander VI, whose recognition of the Cabalist as a loyal son of the Church seemed to give some authority to Pico's position." - 439:221

“Rodrigo Borgia…. Towards 1470 began his relations with the Roman lady, Vanozza Catanei, the mother of his four children… In 1497, Alexander decreed that the ‘Praefectus Sacrarii Pontificii’, commonly called ‘Sacristan of the Pope’, but virtually parish-priest of the Vatican and keeper of the Pope's conscience, should be permanently and exclusively a prelate chosen from the Augustinian Order, an arrangement that still endures.” – Catholic Encyclopedia

“The Hospitallers were delighted to have been granted the properties of the Canons [of the Holy Sepulcher under the Rule of Saint Augustine] even if, in practice, they were unable to enforce the Bull outside Italy. Although the union between these two Orders was maintained there, Alexander VI dissolved it in Germany by a further Bull of 4 November 1497, at the request of Maximilian, King of the Romans and Eberhard, Duke of Wurtemberg.” - The Papal Orders

215) Pius III (1503)

 

216) Julius II (1503-1513)

It is indeed a well-known fact that the Reformation was achieved by Luther, Calvin and Zwingli, but it is not so well-known that previously John Reuchlin (1455-1531), Pico de Mirandola’s disciple, shook the Christian conscience by suggesting as early as 1494 ‘that there was nothing higher than hebraic wisdom.’ And when in 1509 a renegade Jew, Joseph Pffefferkorn, had the Talmud seized and finally obtained, after several attempts, the definitive condemnation of this collective compendium which contains a thousand years of Jewish wisdom. John Reuchlin did not shrink from exposing himself to every menace and danger in order to defend before the Emperor and the Pope the extraordinary value of the Talmud, whose veritable meaning he had fathomed.  Reuchlin advocated returning to Jewish sources as well as to ancient texts. Finally, he won his case against the convert Pfefferkorn, who loudly demanded the destruction of the Talmud. ‘The new spirit which was to revolutionize the whole of Europe became apparent with regard to the Jews and the Talmud,’ wrote the historian Graetz.

"Lateran Council, Fifth 1512-17, 18th ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, convened by Pope Julius II and continued by his successor Leo X [Giovanni de Medici].  Julius called the council to counter an attempt begun (1510) by Louis XII of France to revive the conciliar theory (i.e., that a council has the supreme power even over the pope), of a hundred years before...and thus precipitate a new schism."  124:1534

“…on October 1st, 1525 two senior Franciscans were received in audience by Clement VII to again seek validation of the eight principal privileges of the Custos [Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre], among which was that of creating knights.

220) Paul III (1534-1549)

“According to Life magazine, Pope Paul III (1534-1549) as a cardinal had fathered three sons and a daughter. On the day of his coronation he celebrated the baptism of his two great-grandchildren. He appointed two of his teenage nephews as cardinals, sponsored festivals with singers, dancers and jesters, and sought advice from astrologers."  Pope Paul III authorized formation of the Society of Jesus [Jesuits] in 1540. Council of Trent began [1545-63].

“In 1491 San Ignacio De Loyola was born in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa, Spain. His parents were Marranos and at the time of his birth the family was very wealthy. As a young man he became a member of the Jewish Illuminati Order in Spain. As a cover for his crypto Jewish activities, he became very active as a Roman Catholic... In 1539 he had moved to Rome where he founded the 'Jesuit Order,' which was to become the most vile, bloody and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1540, the current Pope Paul III approved the order. At Loyola’s death in 1556 there were more than 1000 members in the Jesuit order, located in a number of nations.

“Setting up the Jesuit order, Ignatius Loyola devised an elaborate spy system, so that no one in the order was safe.  ... The Jesuit order not only became a destructive arm of the Roman Catholic Church; it also developed into a secret intelligence service. While the Popes relied more and more on the Jesuits, they were unaware that the hardcore leadership were Jewish, and that these Jews held membership in the Illuminati Order which despised and hated the Roman Catholic Church.” - How the World Government Rules the Nations

Pope Pius IV [Giovanni Angelo Medici]. "B. 31 March, 1499, at Milan; elected 26 December, 1559; d. in Rome 9 Dec., 1565.  The Medici of Milan lived in humble circumstances and the proud Florentine house of the same name claimed no kindred with them until Cardinal Medici was seated on the papal throne... The mildness of Pius IV in dealing with suspects of heresy, so different from the rigour of his predecessor, made many suspect his own orthodoxy." [Catholic Encyclopedia]; Pius IV ended the Council of Trent.

“The privileges [of the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre] were confirmed in general terms for the first time in writing in the Bull Divina disponenta clementia of July 23, 1561” - The Papal Orders
