Revelation 21:8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Alta Vendita refers to the “Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita,” which is a document allegedly produced by the highest lodge of the Italian Carbonari, a secret society in the early 19th century. This document is sometimes cited in conspiracy theories, especially those involving the Catholic Church.
The “Permanent Instruction” supposedly outlines a plan to infiltrate and subvert the Catholic Church from within, with the goal of ultimately destroying it. The authenticity and authorship of the document have been subjects of controversy and debate. The document was published in the mid-19th century, and some traditionalist Catholics and conspiracy theorists have pointed to it as evidence of a long-standing plot against the Church.
Historians and scholars generally view the document with skepticism, considering it to be either a forgery or, at the very least, a piece of propaganda produced to discredit certain groups or individuals. The Carbonari themselves were involved in revolutionary and nationalist movements in Italy and were opposed to both the papacy’s temporal power and the existing political order.
Propaganda Due, often referred to as P2, was a Masonic lodge in Italy that became infamous for its involvement in a range of political and criminal activities during the 1970s and 1980s. Here’s an overview of P2 and its significance:
The phrase “Propaganda Due” (P2) and “dead pope” refers to various conspiracy theories and speculations surrounding the mysterious deaths of certain popes, particularly Pope John Paul I, and the alleged involvement of the P2 Masonic lodge in these events. Here’s an overview of the main points:
Pope John Paul I’s Mysterious Death
Pope John Paul I: He was elected as Pope on August 26, 1978, and served for only 33 days before his sudden and unexpected death on September 28, 1978. His short papacy led to widespread speculation and numerous conspiracy theories about the true cause of his death.
Official Cause of Death: The Vatican officially stated that Pope John Paul I died of a heart attack. However, the circumstances surrounding his death, including the fact that no autopsy was performed, fueled rumors and doubts.
Conspiracy Theories Involving P2
Alleged Involvement of P2: One of the most persistent conspiracy theories is that members of the P2 lodge were involved in Pope John Paul I’s death. The theory suggests that the Pope was murdered because he planned to reform the Vatican Bank, which was allegedly involved in corrupt activities tied to P2 and its members.
Vatican Bank Scandal: The Vatican Bank, officially known as the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR), was at the center of a major financial scandal in the late 1970s and early 1980s. P2, under the leadership of Licio Gelli, was heavily implicated in this scandal through its connections to Banco Ambrosiano, a major Italian bank with ties to the Vatican. Roberto Calvi, the chairman of Banco Ambrosiano, was also found dead under mysterious circumstances in 1982.
Claims and Speculations: The theory posits that Pope John Paul I discovered extensive corruption involving the Vatican Bank, P2, and other powerful figures. His death, according to this theory, was orchestrated to prevent him from exposing these activities and carrying out reforms that would have threatened the interests of those involved.
CONCLUSION
I see the world standing over the grave of another dead Pope: ME.
