So much of the stuff posted on here is total nonsense. It seems to be completely in reverse.
e.g. a triangular shaped frieze in a 10th century cathedral, symbolising the Trinity will be represented as “Masonic” because 800 years later somebody put a triangular shape on the dollar bill, and 150 years later somebody else decided that this was a masonic temple.
Is there any evidence that satanists ever used a bent cross to mock Christianity? Surely the slight forwards bend of the Pope’s cross also represents the shepherd’s crook, the Pope being the chief earthly shepherd of Christ’s flock. I don’t think I ever heard this one until somebody noticed that JPII’s cross looked slightly different and spawned their own little conspiracy theory based on personal bigotry and no evidence.
Or, someone will look at the Papal crest and say that the crossed keys and crown look like a skull and crossed bones (itself a Christian symbol before the German army’s aristocratic officer corps stole it, and only later portrayed as the ‘Jolly Roger’ in pirate movies released around the time of World War I) and that the skull and crossed bones resembles a pentangle, which has only been a pagan symbol since Gerald Gardner founded Wicca in the 1930’s.
It’s just nonsense. Has anyone actually done any serious research into any of this?
Even the more serious research, such as the idea of the upside-down crucifix mainly comes from the works written by or for James VI & I, the Protestant king who introduced witch burning to England from Scotland and commissioned the King James Bible. Much of the ‘research’ was based on hearsay and anti-Catholic superstition, and much more on James’s own opinions, which were simply accepted as Truth because he was King and head of the church.
Can anybody actually provide any serious allegations?
