When we got there, we went through the Vatican. Underneath the Vatican there is a large room that I described to you when we talked before. It has 13 catacomb chambers leading into it. And what they do is as you go down these steps into the room, you can see that it’s circular, so they’re all rounded. They bring out the mummies from the catacombs. And they set them beside each one [each of the 13 catacomb chambers], and they say “That’s the spirit of the Fathers watching over the ceremony.” MORE

Years from now, when people look back on America, historians will write endless amounts of books and papers on the precise time when America gave into the relentless creeping Sharia and our democratic republic was destroyed.

Pope Francis on Monday ruled out a trip to Mexico prior to his September arrival in the United States, as well as a stop at the US/Mexico border, saying both would add too much time to the outing.

Directly under the Vatican seal, is a seal of another sort. This seal proclaims that the One World Religion spoken up by Daniel the prophet and picked up again in the book of Revelation is indeed the goal of this pope and of the Vatican system. It is just by coincidence, of course, that the Vatican loves to use One World Air to ferry the Pope around in though, I’m sure. MORE
