The Bent Cross:

How the Vatican is “Hell Bent” to Commit the Great Apostasy

Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat.
Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ rules!

Since their split from the One True Church, Rome has continued to dilute, alter and add to the original teachings and practices handed down to us from the Holy Scriptures, Holy Apostles and through Holy Traditions of the Primitive Church founded by Christ Jesus through the Apostles, and which have been safeguarded by the Church of the East.

The bulk of the errors and non-Biblical, non-canonical innovations which Rome has unleashed upon the Catholic Church have come about as a result of Vatican II. The Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church never was a bastion of “orthodoxy” since its split from the Church of the East, but it has grown decidedly worse since Vatican II. Let us explore some of these heresies:

The Vatican II concept of the Church as "People of God" is false ecumenism. It leads to the belief that Protestantism is nothing more than one particular form of the same Christian religion. The Vatican II Council document "Unitatis Redintegratio" heretically teaches that "…the Holy Spirit does not refuse to make use of other religions as a means of salvation." (Did Jesus not say that: “No one comes to the Father except through me”?) John Paul II's document "Catechesi Tradendae" repeats the same heresy.

The concept of Ecumenism, as held by Vatican II and condemned by Catholic moral teaching and law, has developed to the point of allowing the sacraments of penance, Eucharist and Extreme Unction to be received from "non-Catholic ministers" (Vatican II Canon 844 N.C) and it favors "ecumenical hospitality" by authorizing Catholic ministers to give the sacrament of the Eucharist to non-Catholics.

The Vatican II document "Lumen Gentium" is explicitly adopted by the new Vatican II Canon 336, a doctrine whereby the college of Bishops together with the Vatican II "pope" equally enjoy supreme power in the Church, habitually and constantly.

Vatican II Canon 336 "This College of Bishops, in which the apostolic body abides in an unbroken manner, is, in union with its head and never without this head, also the subject of supreme and full power over the universal Church."

This doctrine of double supreme power is contrary to the teaching and practice of the true Catholic Church, and the teachings of their own Church jurisdiction found especially in the First Vatican Council (DZ. 3055) and in Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical "Satis Cognitum", which states: “The Pope alone has this supreme power which he communicates as he judges opportune and in extraordinary circumstances.”

The new concept of the Church as defined by John Paul II calls for a profound change in the principal act of the Church, which is the Sacrifice of the Mass. The new Vatican II definition is that the Mass is "a service and a collegial, ecumenical communion." A better definition could not be found for the new mass, which, like the new Vatican II Church, is a wide departure from the true Church's Tradition and Magisterium. Thus, the Roman Catholic Church has literally become the Roman Protestant Church.

There is another devastating situation that has come about in the Church of Rome that is leading to a moral decline not only in the Church, but also in the world as a whole. This is the slow acceptance of homosexuality. This acceptance started back in the mid to late 1960’s when Marxist-Theology began to take hold, first in the Latin American countries, then spreading throughout North America and Europe. This was closely followed by members of various homosexual rights groups infiltrating seminaries and Bible Schools.

According to Father John O'Connor, a “traditionalist” Roman Catholic priest, “Every day the news media carries stories of homosexuals and lesbians attempting to change through indoctrination, legislation, infiltration and intimidation. They want everyone to accept their lifestyle as normal because they claim that God made them that way. But there is another side to the story which the media and homosexuals are not telling the public. Every basic catechism explains that Sodomy* (homosexual acts *) is one of the 4 sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance because it is so contrary to the laws of nature. It offends God so much that there should be no question to its opposition. Instead, we see alarming inroads made every day by homosexuals into the life of the Church and society.”

{ *Apostle1.com adds this notation: Sodomy is a specific physical act that is engaged in by both heterosexuals and homosexuals and does not define, in and of itself as relating to only homosexuals. However, and we could stand corrected by the author, Abbot Gregori, but what the "homosexual agenda" is from a political group as a whole which has infiltrated independent, republican and democrat parties... and therefore is not wholesome; being un-deniably rejected by the true Orthodox Catholic Christian Church.}

Fr. O'Connor details those inroads, especially into the Church and America, shows why God is so offended, in his teaching titled; “Homosexual Conspiracy in the Catholic Church”. He includes so much potent and powerful information on what has already happened as well as what is happening now in our seminaries, parishes, schools, cities, courts, government, military, movies and television, that one is left stunned and overwhelmed with its enormity. This sobering presentation is not for delicate souls. It is a very powerful presentation of knowledge that needs to be known in order to counteract the Devils plan to push the country to the brink of moral collapse.

According to Elizabeth Gould Davis, there was a “golden age” in “prehistory” that was gynocratic (i.e., woman--ruled), and that lasted for untold millennia (Davis, The First Sex, p. 66). goes on to say that in this civilization the woman was civilizer, craftsman, industrialist, agriculturalist, engineer, inventor, and discoverer. Humans were pacific herbivores, unacquainted with warfare and violence. She further argues that during this “golden age” the earth was a semi paradise of peace and tranquility, presided over by an omnipotent goddess (Ibid., p. 65). Eventually, according to ' feminist surmising, women lost their supremacy when men, who were genetic mutations of women, formed into bands and overthrew the peaceful matriarchies, inventing rape and other forms of violence.

With absolutely no historical evidence to back up her teachings, her theme has been incorporated into feminist ideology: “Women are different than men and women should be proud of these differences. In fact, even though we talk a lot about equality, it just may be that women are a bit more than equal to men.”

The feminists are continuously pressing the Roman Catholic Church to admit them to the priesthood. Many of these women, who have grown tired of waiting for the Vatican to come around to their way of thinking, are actively seeking out Anglican Bishops, Old Catholic Bishops or other “independent” Catholic Bishops (all of which are heretical and schismatic from Rome) to ordain them to the priesthood and even consecrate them to the episcopacy, in total defiance of all canons of the One True Church, most of these women are also lesbians. Sad to say, the day will come, and soon, when the Vatican will capitulate and begin to sanction the ordination of women.

The Sedevacantist belief is that the last TRUE pope of the Roman Church was Pius XII. Following the Death of Pius XII, in 1958, the first Freemason cardinal to become pope was Cardinal Angelo Roncalli. Roncalli’s first act as pope was to begin to remove any element of Divine Revelation from Catholic teaching, and to embrace “naturalism”, materialism, and even Communism. These elements were put into place at the 1962 Ecumenical Council and Vatican Two in 1965.

Cardinal Giovanni Montini, another Freemason, succeeded Pope John XXIII, becoming Pope Paul VI in 1963; Pope Pius XII had dismissed him as the Vatican Secretary of State in 1944, for conducting secret negotiations with the Communists.

Paul VI’s true colors came through in 1965 at a speech given before the United Nations when he said: “It is your task here to proclaim the basic rights and duties of Man. You are the interpreters of all that is permanent in human wisdom; we can almost say of its sacred character.” Then to add insult to injury, Pope Paul VI gave away the Papal Triple Crown to the United Nations Secretary General U Thant, along with his Papal ring and pectoral cross. Thant later sold these items at an auction.

Paul VI abolished the anti-Modernist Oath along with the Index of Forbidden Books, and revised the Code of Canon Laws. He also had history and texts written from a predominately Catholic point of view re-edited. Paul VI also encouraged “humanist” theologians such as Schillebeeckx who taught that “the most honest and natural man was one who believed nothing.”

In 1969, Paul VI said: “We are about to witness a greater freedom in the life of the Church…fewer obligations and fewer inward prohibitions. Formal disciplines will be reduced ...every form of intolerance will be abolished.”(Sounds like the beginnings of ‘political correctness’ coming into the Church.) None of this should be surprising when one considers reports that from 1936 – 1950 the future Pope Paul VI was part of a Communist espionage network, part owner of a chain of brothels and financed the making of erotic films.

Because of the fact that John-Paul II has continued with the policies of Vatican II, the Sedevacantists refused to recognize him as a true pope. The same holds true concerning the present pope, Benedict XVI.

This passage signifies that though there is one antichrist who is coming at the end of this age, there are many who have the spirit of antichrist which may be manifested in many different forms. Even though this spirit 'comes out from us' (i.e. originates within Christianity and may continue to call itself Christian) it is marked by a fundamental denial of the basics of the Christian faith. This is why so many things have been done in the name of Jesus which denies everything He stands for. The main characteristic of this spirit is a denial of the central truth of the faith: that Jesus is the promised Messiah, fully man and fully God, whose sacrificial death and resurrection is sufficient to bring forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all who believe.

Very Rev. Fr. Abbot + Gregori
