The 80th Birthday Celebration for Pope Benedict XVI
On February 3, 2012, Destination Yisra’el led in the expose of the soon departure of the Jewish Pope, called Benedict XVI. The Italian daily, called the Libero had earlier announced that he was retiring when he turned 85 on April 16, 2012. In the article titled, “Will the Jewish Pope Benedict resign paving the Way for Petrus Romanus, the last Pope of the Apocalypse to Ascend to the Holy See?” the following was reported:
Destination Yisra’el – “It is of interest that in the long history of the papacy, there has never been a time when a pope has submitted his resignation and then lived out his life in retirement. During World War II, Pope Pius XII did submit a letter stating that he would resign if he were captured and held hostage by the German Nazis which stated in affect that as a prisoner, he would only be Cardinal Pacelli but not Pope Pius XII.
Then there was Pope John XXIII who in private communication with his own confessor, mused that it might be necessary for him to leave (resign) when his illness did become worse. This was coupled with Pope Paul VI who in his era excluded any cardinals over the age of 80 of participating in the papal conclave. He also opined that it would be best for all popes to renounce the Episcopal seat at the age of 75, yet even when he turned the age of 80, his courtiers persuaded him not to resign.
Then we remember very well about Pope John Paul II who feared dying for with his death, he believed that a series of cataclysms would envelope the whole earth. Even so, in the case that his long illness with Parkinsonism would get seriously worse, the Polish pope whose name was Karol Jozef Wojtyla also did prepare his own resignation letter.”
The aging pope appears to be busy traveling the world in his final farewell, and recently presiding over the ceremony known as the consistory whose prelate may soon be nominating what is expected to be the Vatican’s final pope, “Peter the Roman” when the College of Cardinals meets in the Catholic Conclave to elect the next leader of “The Church”, whose prophecy by St. Malachy will be finally be completed as these words depict:
St. Malachy – “In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit. Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people. The End.”
It appears that the warring parties within the Vatican appear to be tearing her apart at the seams, not waiting for the final pope, Petrus Romanus” who some claim is destined to be the final “Antichrist” of the age. And while not waiting for the dust to settle, the L’Osservatore Romano, a “semi-official” newspaper close to the throne of the Holy See, admitted that Pope Benedict XVI is facing a pack of wolves, as they are circling the man who presided over the decades-long scandal covering up the pedophile Roman Catholic priests, while the Vatican was also covering up an immense financial scandals within the Vatican Bank.
A Half a Century of Pedophile Scandals
Founded in Mexico in 1941 and now spread to over 22 countries in Central, South America, Europe, and the United States, a secret Order called the Legion of Christ (LC) has become one of the most noted of the Catholic Orders that have brought shame to its victims and deeper layers of secrecy to the Vatican. Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado (1920-2008), represent the papacy as one of their own emissaries was finally charged, after over sixty years of sex abuse with young altar boys, unknown mistresses and drug abuse.
Here was a man venerated by tens of thousands as a virtual saint and called “Nuestro Padre” (Our Father) yet was also alleged to have led a duplicitous life as a fulminate pedophile who also had at least two mistresses and three children. Here was a microcosm of the Catholic orders that was fostered as a secret cult according to author, Jason Berry:
Jason Berry – “Maciel was a sexual criminal of epic proportions who gained the trust of John Paul II and created a movement that is as close to a cult as anything we’ve seen in the church.”
It was Berry who broke the story of Fr. Marciel Degollado in 1997 when nine “former” high ranking seminarians publically accused Maciel of abusing them when they were altar boys training for the Catholic priesthood. Berry later went on to write a book titled, “Vows of Silence” of which one reviewer called "horror stories ... of brainwashing, manipulation, pederast seduction rituals, character assassination, bribes, drug abuse, gulag-type threats -- you name it."
They later create and directed a 2008 documentary called “Vows of Silence” that rocked the Vatican to the core. Even though the Vatican ordered an investigation, it was slowed or stalled by papal legates all the way up to the throne of the papacy until Maciel was finally expelled from the priesthood only two years before his death in 2008.
As one of the prime examples of sexual improprieties, Catholic priests have secretly been allowed to foster in the hallowed halls of their seminaries and cathedrals these festering wounds as the sex abuse scandals continued first in South America and then over the decades erupting upon the European continent affecting the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that had settled there sixteen to twenty centuries ago; predominately in Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Recognized and remembered by those in which he abused, Macial was best known as a “manipulative monster” as reported by Dana Kennedy in an article she wrote, titled, “International Probe Targets Secretive Catholic Group”:
Dana Kennedy – “With a leader said to be a manipulative monster who built a shadowy but powerful organization for elite, wealthy Catholics with schools in 22 countries – and a tradition of grooming handsome, clean-cut priests who all wear their hair parted on the left and black double-breasted suits -- the Legion of Christ sounds straight out of a Dan Brown novel. But while Opus Dei, the other controversial conservative Catholic order, was made famous in Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," the Legion of Christ is virtually unknown to most Americans – at least on the surface.
Two of the most visible priests in America are Father Thomas Williams, a movie-star-handsome CBS News analyst, and Father Jonathan Morris, who is sometimes referred to as "Father Knows Best" on the Fox News Channel. They belong to the Legion of Christ but rarely identify themselves as such on camera.
"Dan Brown got the wrong group," said Genevieve Kineke, an orthodox Catholic who was a member of Regnum Christi, the legion's lay movement, from 1992 to 2000 and writes a blog about her experiences. "The Legion of Christ is the scary cult embedded in the bosom of the mother church. Not Opus Dei."
Marcial Maciel Degollado with Pope Paul II
Marciel was later ordered to a life of “prayer and penitence” by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger but it was only after Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI did he order an investigation into the life and ministry of Marciel and the Legion of Christ after it was discovered that this revered yet feared and distained priest had a daughter living in Spain. As reported by Jim Fair, one of the spokesmen for the Legion of Christ in North America:
Jim Fair – “Of course we're shocked and disappointed by all of this! It’s as if Father Maciel lived in two different universes, like some old science fiction movie. And now it's all blowing up…He was obviously a very flawed man…It's hard to reconcile the guy we now know with the man who built hundreds of seminaries. But we will go on. The work of the church is bigger than humans. It's a little as if we found out Abraham Lincoln was a serial pedophile after he signed the Emancipation Proclamation."
As far back as eight years ago, in the year of 2004 the John Jay Report was commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to complete a study of 10,667 individual pedophile claims that were younger than 18 years of age that had been made against 4392 priests between the years of 1950 to 2002. The 4,392 priests accused were approximately 4% of the 109,694 priests in active ministry before 2002.
As reported in 2011, the Vatican had paid US$144 million in settlements to young male abuse allegations as reported in the Los Angeles Times and documented in Wikipedia. Of the total, the study was able to document that 6,696 (72%) of the accusations went into full investigations. Of these 4,570 (80%) were substantiated.
At the same time, one cannot assume whether the problem and the cases for bishop pedophilia has quit or just disappeared in the last ten years since 2002. This is because documentation is scanty and virtually nonexistent. Instead there has been an increasing backlash by the Church to destroy advocacy groups that have been supporting the victims of pedophile priests.
Such is the case of SNAP, Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, who while neither a plaintiff nor a defendant in any litigation associated with any pedophile cases have now in 2010-2011 in five current pedophilia cases have subpoenaed the national director, David Clohessy to testify under oath. The most recent were two Missouri cases of priests accused of sexual abuse. They have “gone to court to compel the group to disclose more than two decades of e-mails that could include correspondence with victims, lawyers, whistle-blowers, witnesses, the police, prosecutors and journalists.”
As SNAP suspects, here is a legal Roman Catholic Church campaign designed “to cripple an organization that has been the most visible defender of victims, and a relentless adversary, for more than two decades.” As Marci A. Hamilton, a law professor at the Jewish Yeshiva University wrote;
Marci A. Hamilton - “If there is one group that the higher-ups, the bishops, would like to see silenced, it definitely would be SNAP. And that’s what they’re going after. They’re trying to find a way to silence SNAP.”
So instead of insisting that the Catholic bishops live up to a higher and more elevated life of holiness as they represent the Pope and the Vatican in their direct ministry with its people, they are now tracking and harassing lay organization that are seeking to minister to and support those crippled physically and morally by predatory priests.
As Pope Benedict XVI and the Cardinals in the Vatican are legitimately being accused by the lay Catholic populous, these same Church leaders are aggressively turning against the very people that help and emotionally minister the victims of sexual oppression by the Catholic Church priests.
The leader of this Catholic movement attacking SNAP is William Donohue, the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, a Catholic advocacy group headquartered in New York. He stated the following in the New York Times article titled, “Church puts Legal Pressure on Abuse Victims’ Group”:
William Donohue – “Targeting the network is justified because SNAP is a menace to the Catholic Church.”
He admitted that “leading bishops” were now “resolved to fight back more aggressively against the group (SNAP) stating:
William Donohue – ““The bishops have come together collectively. I can’t give you the names, but there’s a growing consensus on the part of the bishops that they had better toughen up and go out and buy some good lawyers to get tough. We don’t need altar boys…The church has been too quick to write a check, and I think they’ve realized it would be a lot less expensive in the long run if we fought them (pedophile cases against bishops) one by one.”
Of the fifty years of pedophile allegations, an editorial in the Vatican Newspaper called the Osservatore Romano suggested the following as reported by Reuters:
Osservatore Romano – “Those responsible for revealing sensitive internal documents alleging corruption and a cover-up were irresponsible, undignified "wolves".
As those who pose to represent the Holy One of Israel, and claim that the Pope is the Vicar of G-d, the shame of the predatory priests has so tarnished the legacy of the papacy that they have rightly earned the title of “Babylon the Great! Babylon the Great!
As we remember again the last of the prophecies of St. Malachy quoted above, we also remember the following prophecy of the Orthodox Jewish Revelator, who wrote:
Revelation 18:1- - “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority and the earth was illuminate with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) and the Legacy of the Medieval Inquisition

In what has now the Vatican’s version of “Wikileaks” which the Italian media has labeled the “Vatileaks” were also associated with the revelations of a stream of new leak concerning the Vatican Bank picturing a vast power structure that has become a devouring monster on its own people as competing factions within the Church are wrestling for power against each other with documents that reveal not just sexual abuse but also financial corruption and crimes at the most highest level of the Vatican hierarchy. What is known is the fact that nobody knows who is winning the vicious battle for supreme control of the Vatican and hopefully the control of the entire Planet Earth.
It was during the revelations of the Vatileaks that the Vatican Newspaper called the Osservatore Romano wrote an editorial marking the 30th anniversary of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger’s arrival in Rome from Germany. And then, only seven years ago, Ratzinger elected in 2005 by the papal conclave to become the successor of Pope John Paul II who died in that same year.
Upon arrival to Rome, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger took the head position of the powerful Vatican post titled the Vatican's doctrinal enforce, the “Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (CDF)”. It was the oldest of the nine congregations of the Roman Curia that were housed at the Palace of the Holy Office at the Vatican. Its role was to oversee the preservation and enforcement of Roman Catholic doctrine. This same office was earlier called the “Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition”, and afterwards in 2002 called the “Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office”.
This same office located at Rome was popularized in the 12th to the 16th centuries as the “Roman Inquisition” or the “Holy Inquisition”. During that era, when the Jews were tortured and persecuted and later exiled from Spain, their brothers, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who were known as the Cathars and the Albigensians, the descendants of the Germanic Visigoths and the Vandals, were severely hunted and persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. As reported in the Destination Yisra’el’s article titled, “The Inquisition and Anti-Semitism; Fellow Travelers in the Vatican in a Tortuous History of Hate against the Jews and Lost Israelites” we learn the following:
Destination Yisra’el – “According to Roman Christian history, this was the sole purpose of the Roman Catholic Inquisition in Southern France. The Albigensian Inquisition was founded by Dominic of Osma (Dominic de Guzmán) and Domingo Félix de Guzmán (1170 – August 6, 1221). Besides being the prelate founder of the Albigensian Inquisition, Dominic also was the founder of Roman Catholic Order called the Dominicans also called the Order of Preachers (OP).
Why there is so much fear and anger today is revealed in human history that has depicted over and over that “history repeats itself.” Part of this prophetic milieu was discussed in the recent rise of unmitigated modern day anti-Semitism within the Roman Catholic clergy against the Jewish faith and the Jewish people, when the Destination Yisra’el blog titled, “The Repetition of History - The Roman Catholic merger with Society of St. Pius X Society points towards a new Persecution against the Jews and Lost Israelites” reported its bloodied past.
To understand the future prophetic history one also has to understand the full dimensions of past history, for the mini-dramas of the past instilled in our collective souls suggest that all the prophecies of the Hebrew-Israelite prophets will repeat themselves, not over another three thousand years, but possibly as few as three to four and one-half years into our future."
During the days under the rule of the Spanish ruler, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, the Jews living in Spain were forced into conversion to Roman Catholicism. These Spanish Jews were called Spanish Marranos. As told in the video by the Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Pearlmutter, in the Destination Yisra’el blog titled, “The Rosh Hashanah Concert for Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand”, he spoke of the era in Spain when the Jewish citizens were called “Marranos” which in the Spanish language meant, “Pig”.
This word, Marrano was used only for Jews who had externally converted to Christianity in order save their lives or the lives of their families. Yet, inwardly and secretly they maintained a full Jewish life even under the threat of death; and very painful death and horrendous death.
It was the Spanish Inquisitor, Tomas de Torquemada who was established during the reign of the Spanish rulers, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who also counseled Queen Isabella to expel the Jewish people from Spain on the Jewish Shabbat on the 9th of Av in the year of 1492. This also happened to be on the most dreaded day infamy in Jewish history in which the Holy Temple of Solomon was destroyed by Babylon and the Holy Temple of King Herod was destroyed and razed to the ground, never to rebuild even to this very day.
Amazingly this was also the day that Christopher Columbus, an Italian Kabbalist Jew set sail, and off the coastline of Spain, anchored and rested with his Jewish crew on the Seventh-day Shabbatand then after the settling of the sun, “sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred and ninety two” to find the New World.
G-d’s Divine Role in Guiding all the Power Broker and Nations to their Day of Judgment at the Time of the End
It is not just fascinating but amazing how the G-d of Israel has guided the nations of the earth not only in their social and political development but also in their actual discovery. Without the discovery of the Americas for at least the second time, for Columbus was not the first explorer to discover the Americas, the Master of the Universe set within the visual sights of the Spanish Conquistadors and Portuguese explorers gleaming rooms and archives of gold. It dazzled their eyes and intoxicated their brains with visions of power, greed and control that became their lust that defined the discovery and exploration of the Americas for the next three centuries.
Consider one thing; it was to Rome who represented the genetic and spiritual descendants of Esau (Edomites), that the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob gave the infatuating bounty of all the gold of South America and Mexico. The massive Spanish galleons loaded to the brim, plied the Atlantic Ocean and made Roman Catholic Spain the wealthiest nation in the western hemisphere.
Instead of thanking and worshipping the G-d of Israel, the Creator of the Universe, they instead became the foremost defenders of the Roman Catholic Inquisition; exiled the Jews Marranos from Spain in the south and massacred the Lost Israelite Cathars, Albigensians, Waldensians and Huguenots who Destination Yisra’el identified as the Germanic Tribes of Northern Europe called the Visigoths and the Vandals as written below:
Destination Yisra’el – “The Israelite Vandals selectively “plundered” the city of Rome by redeeming the treasures of the Temple of Herod, including the Great Menorah that are today still sketched in “relief” on the Titus’ Arch of Triumph in Rome. They secreted these treasures to the best of our knowledge in the Pyrenees Mountains and kept them there under the custodianship of their tribal Israelite brothers, the Visigoths who controlled the lands of Spain and Southern France in that era.
The regions in Southern France and Spain would later become part of the Israelite Visigothic Kingdom, whose populations were mixed Israelites of the former Vandal invaders. The descendants of those former Israelite Vandals and Visigoths would later be resurrected in medieval history as the Albigensians, the Vallenses or Waldensians, the Huguenots, the Cathard or Cathari-Puritans, the Bulgar, Khazzars, Sabbatharier (Arian Sabbath-keepers), Sabbatati, Insabbatati, and the Passaginians (Pasargadae Israelite tribe of the Persian Shah Cyrus the Great)."
The Golden Altar at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
Any traveler today that visits the cathedrals of Spain and Portugal will be impressed with awe at the immense amount of gold that gilds the pagan altars, statutes, mantles, and icons of the Cathedrals of Spain and Portugal today as the economy of both the Nations of Spain and Portugal are spiraling out of control. Are the judgments of the G-d of Israel today being cast down upon the once mighty Spanish Empire that created the largest military naval armada in the world, seeking to destroy the Queen Elizabeth I’s emerging British Empire, and who were the Lost Israelite Tribe of Ephraim residing on the Isle of Britannia as the Anglo-Saxons (Engle Sacchi) or transliterated as the Heifer (Hebrew Engle), that was the tribal banner of Ephraim, the sons of Isaac (Sacchi).
The majesty of the Divine molding the sprouting European nations would be awesome to behold, were it not that we lost the powers of visual perception given to Adam in the Garden. Yet, today the battles and wars between the forces of light and the forces of darkness are coming down into the realms of our Planet Earth. If the mantle of protecting the Catholic priests while at the same time protecting the future generations of Catholic priests who are today altar boys is not enough, the role in which Pope Benedict XVI has played in the collapse of the European Union today being unveiled. The sinister world of Babylon the Great is only coming literally into our human perspective as we watch our economic world is collapsing around us.

At the time of the end the G-d of Israel will use all of His Chosen Ones of Israel to complete His divine destiny for Planet Earth. Most of these chosen ones will have no idea of their chosen destiny. They will become the prime actors in the final act of the “Drama of the Ages”. In that day when the Messiah of Israel does reveal himself, also will be revealed all those whose destiny were linked to that august moment in human history. Also in that day, the full revelation of the Return of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel will come also to its full revelation.
