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.

Hello,
This website is very interesting indeed. I am a grad student studying religion and wanted to kindly comment on this link. There is in fact a ton of pagan influences in the early church (before it was known as the capital C for Catholic) Catholic meaning universal church as you know. In those times, the Germanic people were fighters and were not going to easily convert to the “Poor Peoples” Christianity. Therefore, at that time the thought was to “Christianize” everything and convert those in baby steps. The Germanic people believed in the rivers being holy – thus Holy Water today, they signed themselves, they had God(s) plural, so the church introduced the idea of Christian Martyrs i.e. Saints. As the times went from Jesus’s death and rise, Peter and Paul evangelized and even had some disagreement with converting non-Jewish people – almost requiring the Covenant to be upheld. As the church (small c) – meaning the people of Christ moved about many events changed the original outlook of what we know Christianity today. Everything evolved. Monks and Hermits only came in time because the legalization of Christianity no longer called for death. How else did those people of that time feel they could honor Christ? By giving up worldly things. As you can see us humans will see fit what we see fit through time. Today, Catholicism is most prominent in Latin American countries, which will no doubt have a huge influence on the Church (capital C) of Catholicism in due time. At which point, other cultures will be debating about a new topic that is nothing like what Jesus said to his 11 apostles. I do think it is more important than ever to learn to discern the word and keep in mind the times, cultures, etc. I am in America where we have many influences of many cultures. But this was not always the case in ancient history. Scholars will debate forever about the Bible and Christ (big C). The important thing if you are a believer is to remember Christ is the way and the light. Get Baptized and spread the word of Christ. You may wish to throw in the 10 Commandments too! 🙂
God Bless! We are all Children of God!
Madison, the Roman Catholic Church changed the 10 commandments. They removed the 2nd commandment about graven images and idol worship, and they split the 10th commandment in two. They changed the very words of God.
