This study will reveal the meaning of the symbols, statues and attire used by the Pope and priests, as they reveal what the Papal Church is really worshiping.
For thousands of years Pagan religions have used symbols to show which gods they worshiped. These symbols were declared openly in Egypt, Babylon, Rome and other cultures.
These symbols are still used today, but their true meanings are hidden. Most people typically don’t notice the symbol or they have a positive impression of it.
The enlightened understand the meaning behind the symbols, and they use them to communicate with others.
Leaders of a Christian Church should not have anything to do with the symbols of pagan gods.
“For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God.” 2 Corinthians 6:14,16
If you’re Catholic, ask yourself why the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church are using all of these symbols of pagan gods.
The Zucchetti which is worn by Catholic priests, cardinals and the Pope, represents respect, fear and submission to Cybele, the Mother Goddess of Rome.
The Cap of Cybele is one of the oldest and most sacred pagan religious symbols of humanity, dating back to 2,000 B.C.
The skull cap was worn by the sun priests of Egypt.
It is a thin, slightly rounded skullcap now commonly known by various titles including the Yarmulke (Jewish) and Kufi (Muslims).
The Roman Catholic Church calls it the Zucchetti.
Vatican Hill was the site of the largest ancient temple to Cybele. Ashtoreth the goddess of fertility, sexuality and war; was known as Cybele in Rome.
The Bible warns against worshiping her, “Then the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths.” Judges 10:6
The Bible declares “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 11:7
Ask yourself, why do Catholic priests, Bishops and the Pope, wear the Cap of Cybele?
The Mitre hat that is worn by Catholic priests, cardinals and the Pope, represents Dagon the Babylonian fish god.
The ancient Babylonians worshiped Dagan, the god of agriculture, plenty (food) and good fortune.
The Babylonian priests wore a headdress that represented the worship of Cybele and Dagon. It featured an open-fish mouth on the head, with the rest of the fish body forming a cloak.
In the Roman Empire, it was worn by the head priest of Cybele (the Magna Mater) or the Great Queen Mother Goddess.
Today the Catholic Cardinals, Bishops and the Pope all wear the open fish-mouth mitre, which represents the worship of Cybele and Dagon.
The Mitre hat of Dagan is always worn over the Kippa of Ashtoreth/Cybele, as you can see in the picture of Pope Francis I.
God warned the Jews not to worship the gods of Babylon, ” I will pronounce My judgments on them concerning all their wickedness, whereby they have forsaken Me and have offered sacrifices to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.” Jeremiah 1:16
Ask yourself, why do Catholic Cardinals, Bishops and the Pope, all wear the mitre of Dagan?
The Obelisk in St. Peter’s Square represents the worship of the Sun god.
Obelisks were prominent in the architecture of the ancient Egyptians, who placed them at the entrance of a temple, marking it as a zone of sun worship.
They represent the Sun God Ra, the Egyptians’ greatest deity; the creator of humanity, the source of all heat and light, the being on which man was totally dependent.
An Egyptian obelisk sits in front of the Pantheon of ancient Rome, which housed statues of their pagan gods. The obelisk was originally constructed by Pharaoh Ramses II for the Temple of Ra in Heliopolis. It was brought to Rome in ancient times where it was used near a shrine to the Egyptian god Isis.
The Pantheon was dedicated to pan theos, meaning “all the gods.” When it became a Roman Catholic Church, it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and all the martyrs.
The most well-known Egyptian obelisk was re-erected in 1586 A.D., in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. It is surrounded by a sun wheel, with the points lining up with the Vernal Equinox, the Summer Solstice and the Winter Solstice.
.
During the sunrise on the Vernal Equinox, the sun causes the obelisk to cast its shadow towards the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, which represents the sexual union of the sun god and moon goddess.
God’s 2nd commandment says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God.” Exodus 20:4-5
Ask yourself, why does the Catholic Church venerate pagan monuments to the Sun god?
The six-sided star is the supreme symbol of Satanic tyranny.
The hexagram has been used by people such as the pagan Babylonians, Egyptians and Assyrians, to directly or indirectly worship Satan.
Helena Blavatsky wrote that “Lucifer is the true God“, and she incorporated the hexagram in the emblem of the Theosophical Society, which she founded in 1875.
Satanists, Luciferians, astrologers and witches use it to invoke the power of demons.
The six-sided star numerically equals 666 (6 points, 6 triangles, 6-sided hexagon).
Christians pass it off as the ‘Star of David‘ but the truth is that King David never used a star, so calling it a nice sounding name hides what it really represents. King Solomon used it in witchcraft, magic and idolatrous worship to Ashtoreth and to Moloch.
Stephen accused the Jewish leaders, “And you took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, the figures which you made” “in order to worship them.” Acts 7:43
Ask yourself, why does the Catholic Church use the Satanic six-sided star?
The eight-pointed star represents the pagan goddess Ishtar, the lightbringer.
In Babylonian symbolism, the goddess Ishtar is represented by an eight-pointed starburst, and she is associated with the planet of Venus.
Ishtar was the Babylonian High-Mother-Goddess, the goddess of fertility, love and war. Her cult was the most important one in ancient Babylon.
An eight-point star enclosed within a circle is the symbol for the sun god, as it’s points represent the solstices and equinoxes.
The “Babylonian star-cult is the core and the archetype of subsequent astrology.”
At the center of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pope sits in the middle of eight 8-sided stars.
Ask yourself, why does the Catholic Church use the eight-pointed star of Ishtar?
The Maltese Cross represents Shamash, the god of the Sun and Justice.
In the image, an ancient Assyrian king is wearing a cross on his chest, just like the one seen on the Pope’s robe.
Shamash (Akkadian Šamaš “Sun”), was a native Mesopotamian deity and the sun god in the Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian pantheons.
Shamash was the god of justice in Babylonia and Assyria, corresponding to Sumerian Utu.
This cross was identified with a Sun god eight centuries before Christ and long before it was called the Maltese Cross by the Knights of Malta.
It’s also called the Iron Cross. Roman Catholic Adolph Hitler renewed use of the Iron Cross in 1939 and superimposed the Nazi swastika in its center.
Ask yourself, why does the Pope wear the cross of Shamash the Sun god?
Pine cones symbolize the worship of the solar god Osiris.
Pine cones are associated with spiritual enlightenment by ancient Babylonians, Egyptians and Greeks. They represent the mysterious link between the physical and the spiritual worlds, which can be found in the human brain, in the pineal gland.
The pine cone staff is a symbol of the solar god Osiris and originated in Egypt where he was their messiah who died for his people and whose Mother, Isis, was worshiped as the Virgin Mother.
The Vatican also has the world’s largest pine cone that once decorated a fountain in ancient Rome next to a vast Temple of Isis.
At the Old St. Peter’s Basilica, it was dedicated to Attis, son and lover of Cybele. The Catholic Church then relocated it to what’s now called the Vatican Court of the Pigna.
Ask yourself, why do Popes use pine cones which symbolize the solar god Osiris?
Revelation 13 says that Satan the dragon gives authority to the antichrist beast.
The Bible calls Satan the great dragon, who deceives the world.
“So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9
Revelation 13 tells us that antichrist beast is empowered by the dragon to deceive the world.
“So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:3
Ask yourself, why does the Catholic Church use images of the dragon which represents Satan?
Friend, it’s obvious that the Roman Catholic Church is worshiping other gods, which is forbidden by the Bible.
God’s 1st commandment says “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3
The Roman Catholic Church and the Pope have fulfilled many Bible prophecies, as the antichrist beast of Revelation.

Bula David,
Greetings from the outermost part of the earth/or world…. The Fiji Islands. Thank you David for the information on Roman Catholicism, and yes IT IS ALL TRUE the explanations and the true meaning of all those symbols. We shall in agreement in Jesus name continue to pray for the salvation of Catholics around the world.
By the way. Can you please help me? The sort of incense/or lamp instrument that the Alter boys or priests uses and when they hold it. It sort of swings back and forth. Would you know the name and what it’s used for?
Blessed week.
Tehillah
Bula Tehillah! Amen to praying in Messiah’s name for Catholics to have a true covenant relationship with the Father.
Are you referring to the thurible? The metal censer suspended from chains, in which incense is burned during worship services?
Blessings to you, David
The only reason for all Catholics is that…
The foundation of the church is so strong even a small child understand of being a part of the church community.
This is why catholics are so hard in making them see the truth.
But As Christians…
we will never give up…
Let us Torch The Light Of Truth.
I cannot bear to see my friends suffer on the day of Judgement.
You have some good insite into the “Pagan” origins of Christianity but brother you missed the most important thing of all. The Holy Bible is primarily about the 2 most important beings in the universe the Father and the Son, Right? So ask yourself if your a Christian why are the only 2 names in the Holy Bible that are changed the Father and the Son? Other name such as Moses have evolved with the evelution of the human language changing only slightly over 3500 years from Moes. God’s name and the Messiah’s name however have been completely and purposely changed by “Men of Power” who have been agent’s of the Evil One, infiltrating every culture and religion throughout our world’s history. Reading the old testament you can see this is true even in Israel and they stray from the path multiple time to worship other foreign gods, such as Ba’al the storm god of Babylon. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob strictly and unequivocally forbids the worship of Ba’al more than any other “god” even though the worship of another god is already forbidden in 1st commandment. So if the Almighty God of the Universe hates Ba’al more than any other false god, why would the Roman Catholic church convert what the Hebrews call Him which is Adoni (master ) to the LORD which means Ba’al according to the Webster’s And Miriam dictionary. So of all names to go with in the whole world that could mean Master, you know such as Master they went with the name that is the translation of the word Ba’al, really? Not only did they purposely translate Ba’al into LORD where the name of GOD belonged but transliterated Ba’al’s name instead of translating it like they did over GOD’s name so Ba’al’s name was not only not chaged from the scripture it was added in its traslated form in place of the name of GOD. Many will argue but when Abraham prayed to him, when Isaac prayed to him, when Jacob prayed to him they called the FATHER by his true name, the name HE gave HIMSELF, the most holy of all names and HIS name is YHWY (Yahweh) im sorry but not Jehovah. Jehovah is what the various Hebrew Rabbi throught the centurys after Moses converted the name of GOD to as a catch all, they believd that YHWH’s name is to holy for man to speak (even though YHWY say to call on his name over and over in the OT) and that GOD only pays attention to you if you call his name so they later added Hebraic vowels in a noticeably smaller text between the original letters. They did this so if the new scribes and future teachers of the law accidentally read the name as written and forgot to say Adoni while studying the scrolls the true name of GOD wouldn’t be said aloud. YHWY is the one true GOD of Israel and all mankind not the LORD, my GOD doesn’t have a stuttering problem! Now the Messiah, Jesus was never his name ever it was YaShua or better known now as Joshua and dont believe they just couldnt trasliterate his name to Greek, the church admits his name was changed but “it wasnt on purpose and he know who you’re talking too and Jesus is his Greek name.” That is all a line of BS his name was purposely changed in a successful attempt to trick and decieve all the inhabitants of the earth to believe an Image of a man “hung like a scarecrow in a patch” was the Messiah and also the Image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15) and was infact 1/3 of GOD and deserves our worship, which goes against teaching of the Messiah himself according to the gospels. Also the letter J wasn’t invented until 1603 in the 1611 version of the king James bible his name is spelled Iesus (Ye-Zeus) in Greek means Earth pig, YaShua mean YHWY’s salvation. Yes the correct name matters too dont be fooled and say I’ve been praying to the LORD and Jesus for my whole life and I’ve been blessed, how many other’s around the world throughout history payed to the wrong god but were still blessed. If you live a righteous life and are humble YHWY will bless you even if your calling him the wrong name if thats the only name you know him by but YHWY your GOD has sent me to tell you the true names so you will no longer be deceived and be lead astray and that you may now truely know them. Test the spirits always so that your not decived and earnestly seek HIM so you will be awarded an abundance of faith. To truely seek is to look everywhere and test all the spirits if we truely have it right and know all about GOD why is our world so bad? This may have been hard to take but the truth does normally hurt and I know how you feel when YHWY revealed this to me I was so hurt, angry and sick to my stomach but I tested him and he passed. Knowing YHWY has changed my life like was trying to do my whole life praying to the LORD and Jesus. YHWY the Almighty bless you and may YaShua always keep you.
Thank you for sharing that insight Rob! I agree about the names being changed. The KJV clearly says that it replaced the covenant name of the Father with God and Lord. I have a study which covers the personal, covenant names of the Father and the Son. http://christianitybeliefs.org/the-falling-away/the-names-of-the-father-and-the-son/
That said, on this website I am simply trying to help Catholics learn that what the Popes of Rome teach is contrary to the scriptures. They are like babes who need milk to grow. I can’t force the meat of the true Hebrew names on them, for they are not ready for that.
I trust the Spirit to lead them to truth one step at a time. I hope that makes sense.
Grace and peace and love to you in Yahuah’s name,
David
I do understand brother and I apologize for saying you missed it, it was the way you were writing about all the pagan concections to the “head of the $nake” and the said LORD. I couldn’t believe someone who is so inlightened to see things as they are said that and I had to reach out and try to show you the truth if you hadn’t seen it yet. This has just made my day to find another of the elect who have not been blinded by their lies and is not only ready to educate but already is. YHWY bless you in all you do.
Thanks Rob! Sadly I’ve had to learn that most Protestant Churches are just daughters of the Harlot of Rome. They are teaching the wrong names; the wrong holidays, as Easter and Christmas were created by the Roman Emperors and Emperor Constantine to replace the Father’s seven Holy Feast Days which Messiah is fulfilling to redeem His set-apart people; wrong prophecy fulfillment explanations, etc. Grace and peace and love to you in Yahuah’s name, David
I absolutely couldnt agree more, I have seeked the Heavenly Father since I was 8 years old and only last year, as a matter of fact it was January 3rd 2015, HE finally revealed HIMSELF to me and showed me the truth. My family and abstained from and did not partake in Easter or Christmas last year for the 1st time and instead observed HIS holy days. Hallelujah! Praise The Heavenly Father in everything that you do.
You have to love how the Spirit is moving in these last days to restore us to the ancient paths. 🙂
