The Prophecy of the Black Pope

by Dennis Edwards

I am reading a book called "The Jesuits," subtitled "The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church." Originally published in 1987 by a Catholic theologian named Malachi Martin the book was a New York Times Bestseller. Martin, a former Jesuit, wrote various fiction and nonfiction articles and books about the inner workings of the Catholic Church. Disillusioned with the direction the Jesuits were taking Martin asked to be relieved of his orders in 1964 and went to live in New York City. He believed also that the Church had failed to follow the prophetic instructions given from our Lady of Fatima. At the time of his death he was working on a new book, Primacy: How the Institutional Roman Catholic Church became a Creature of the New World Order which some believe may have been the reason to his mysterious death in 1999 at the age of 78.

In the Jesuits, Martin explains that many years ago, the leader or Father General of the Jesuits became known to the people of Rome as the "Black Pope." He was called so because of the black clothing the Jesuits wore and the enormous power the Father General wielded. Pope Paul VI and John Paul I and John Paul II had active confrontations with the Jesuits over their veering from traditional Catholic doctrine and embracing "Liberation Theology." In the past the Jesuits had been the intellectuals and leaders and pioneers of the Church, but yet always in full obedience to His Holiness. Since the 1960s however, with the embracing of the “Liberation Theology,” their obedience to the Pope and the traditional tenets of the Church had been called into question. 

On the appointment of John Paul I the second highest Jesuit leader, American Father Vincent O’Keefe, called for the new Pope to change Church doctrine on abortion and contraceptives, homosexuality, and woman priests in a public interview in Holland the very day of his election. Paul the VI had left with John Paul I a dossier on the Jesuits which he had made during his period as Pope. Paul VI was a peaceful intellectual and not the fighter needed to confront the power of the Jesuit organization. The day before John Paul I was scheduled to meet with the Jesuit assembly over the issues and bring forth questions of their doctrinal divergences, he was found dead, a 33 day reign as Pope. Martin believes he was murdered.

John Paul II later dismissed the Father General Arrupe and his first assistant O’Keefe, the same leader from USA that demanded John Paul I make amendments to the Church. John Paul II appointed a new temporary leader until a Jesuit General Assembly could vote in a New Father General. However the change was only plastic as the influence of the "Liberation Theology" had gone unchecked for many years. The ideas of the Jesuits moved from being "the Pope's men," to an unswerving obedience to their new philosophy of fighting injustice and freeing the poor from oppression by the rich. Immersed in the "Liberation Theology" of bringing heaven on earth here and now by fighting for the rights of the poor, the Jesuits neglected the spiritual side of bringing the love of Christ and his redemptive spirit into the lives of those they struggled for.

They needed to reread “The War of the Worlds” by D. Brandt Berg demonstrating that our warfare is not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of the spiritual strongholds in the hearts and minds of the lost. The Jesuits got so enthralled with their new struggle against the injustices they saw before them in many South American societies that they took up arms and other un-Christ-like methods to reach their ends. The ends justified the means.

As the Jesuits were embracing the “Liberation Theology,” John Paul II had just come from a struggle with atheistic communism where many loyal Catholic priests and lay-people had given the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, because of their faith. John Paul II found it difficult to accept the “Liberation Theology” that embraced so strongly the Marxist ideology, having experienced its dangers first hand. Yet, he himself had taken part in “Liberation” oriented activities in his battle against communist dictatorship in Poland in his early years.

Interestingly enough, at the end of his book, Martin looks to the future with the hope that the Papacy will be able to bring in the reigns of the Jesuit movement or ban its power indefinitely. He sees no other choice and does not even visualize the possibility of the Jesuits winning the war with the Pope. What would he have thought of the election of Pope Francis, a person he alludes to in his book, as a powerful figure in the Church in favor of the direction the Jesuits were taking contrary to John Paul II's belief?

The famous prophecy about the future Popes that was going around the internet before Pope Francis’s election mentioned that the last Pope would be a “Black Pope.” Coming from the Jesuits, as Francis does, do we have a coup d’état? Is the “Black Pope,” in fact the Jesuit Pope which we have in Francis? Do we have a wolf in sheep’s clothing who is willing to embrace atheistic socialism/marxism if it brings more benefits to the poor? Was Martin's death really a result of an accident or did certain powers not want the book he was working on Primacy: How the Institutional Roman Catholic Church became a Creature of the New World Order, to meet the presses and the ensuing public? It remains to be seen.

Where this will all lead to, we can only watch and be attentive. But surely the Illuminati’s grasp reaches deep into the inner working of both the Papacy and the Order of the Jesuits, the Society of Jesus! What comes to mind are the words of Jesus, where he says:

Not everyone that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Here below is Father David’s inspiring letter of our goals as Disciples of Christ.

The War of the Worlds

-- A call to action for all those who truly wish to change the world for the better

We believe that each person who responds to Jesus' call to follow His example of love and to bring His truth to others is engaged in a war of the worlds!

We are called to strive together for our faith, for truth, and for freedom--freedom from want, freedom from bondage, freedom from pain, freedom from evil and freedom from fear.

Mankind cannot be happy when suffering from hunger, malnutrition, disease and ill health. Mankind cannot be fulfilled when enslaved by oppression and tyranny, or overworked and exploited. Mankind cannot be satisfied when suffering from the horrors of war and constant strife, and the nightmares of perpetual fearful insecurity.

We believe that all of these evils are caused by people's lack of love for God and each other, and their defiance of His laws of love and faith and peace and harmony. These laws are basic to the faith of every true believer in God and His love.

Apart from knowing what we are fighting for and against, we must also know how we must fight. Ours is not a war of physical weapons and armies and bodies of men. This is not a fleshly war pitting man against man, nation against nation, race against race, rich against poor, socialism against capitalism. This is not a war between political and economic systems, societies, tribes and cultures, religions and faiths. This is not a war of hate and bitterness, killing and slaughter, revenge and vindictiveness, torture, dying and death. This is not a war for the possessions and lands and pride of man!

Such carnal wars of man have seldom ever settled anything or solved the basic problems of mankind. They have usually only resulted in more suffering, more agony, more pain, more hunger, more slavery, more bitterness, more vengeance, more fighting, more torture, more privation, more destruction, more waste, more poverty and more death! Most of man's selfish, evil wars end in a mere exchange of masters and slaves, a vicious never-ending cycle of horror, resulting in fewer and fewer rich and more and more poor, all of them miserable with their lives of fear and death.

Ours is a war of the spirit, in faith and love, to win the minds and hearts and to save the souls of men. Ours is a war to free men from the evils of the spirit and mind and heart that cause them to be selfish, unloving and cruel to each other. Man has little knowledge of the love, faith, and power of God, or of the loving laws that God designed for our eternal happiness.

Ours is a war to free men's minds and hearts and spirits from the bondage of evil and the soul-slavery of the Devil, which bring misery upon us. Ours is a war between good and evil, God and the Devil, goodness and wickedness, love and hate, life and death, joy and misery. Ours is a war of the universe between the good spirits of Heaven and the evil spirits of Hell, which are contending for our souls as well as our bodies, not only on this earth but also in the world of the spirit.

Therefore we must not only defend our human rights, but we must also fight the much greater warfare of the spirit with the far more powerful weapons of faith, love and compassion, as well as words and deeds of kindness. We must free people from fear with faith; we must free them from hatred with love; we must free them from sorrow with joy; we must free them from war with peace; we must free them from poverty with plenty; and we must free them from death with eternal heavenly happiness!

The pen is mightier than the sword. Ours is a war of words and ideas to thrill people's minds with faith and hope! We wish to fill their hearts with love and peace and joy to set their spirits free, as well as perform deeds of love and kindness to free their bodies from pain. We must therefore wage a war of words against the ideas of evil, a war of faith against fear, a war of hope against doubt.

We must inspire people to believe in God and His love and His plan for the glorious future of mankind in the soon-to-come Kingdom of God on earth, run by the righteous, in which there shall soon be no more sorrow nor crying nor pain nor death, but all shall be light and health and happiness and peace and plenty for everyone.[1]

We must teach people the loving, life-giving Words of God, the Bible, that they might have His life and love and happiness forever! Mighty empires of the sword have come and gone, but His words of love and life endure and continue to give joy and peace and love and life and hope to billions for generations. Alexander, Caesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and others like them have come and gone, but the words and ideas of the prophets of God live on forever.

The Word of God knows no boundaries, no nation, no race, no empire. Neither is it bound by time or space, nor limited by people or war or force of arms. It embraces all mankind and unites their minds and hearts and spirits in faith and love of God and each other for the good of all.

The philosophers, teachers, prophets and men of God have seldom ruled empires, but they have won worlds of people with their words, faith and ideas which captured hearts, minds and spirits and set them forever free. The followers of God are numbered in the billions for millenniums, and God's eternal Kingdom of Love has conquered the realms of people's eternal spirits, far greater and longer lasting than mere worldly empires of the sword.

We cannot force people to be good. We cannot legislate righteousness. "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." We must persuade their minds, win their hearts, inspire their spirits and save their souls so that they will willingly do good and not evil.

We cannot change the world without changing people's minds, and we cannot change their minds unless we change their hearts, and we cannot change their hearts without the inspiration of God's Spirit to save them, body and soul.

We must work to save the entire person, not merely their body and their environment. No one will ever be happy with a heavy heart, a troubled mind, a discouraged spirit and an unsaved soul. We must work to save the whole person, not just part of them. We must work to save the whole world, not just part of it. We must work to save people for eternity, not just for this present time! Only the power and life and light and love and Words of God can do this.

We must use every means available to get His Words to all men throughout the earth. We must convey His ideas, hopes, faith, love and plans for His creations to the eyes and minds and thoughts of all people everywhere, that all hearts may be changed and all spirits inspired and all souls saved--as well as bodies--to live and love together forever.

We must have a vision for the universal salvation of mankind, not just our own nation. We must not confine ourselves solely to the petty matters of the moment and cares of this life, or the concerns of only one people or one nation or one race or one culture or one religion or one political view or one economic system. The salvation of man must be for all if it is for any, and must include everyone if all are to be happy.

We must tell everyone, even though not all will listen or respond or be saved. We owe the message of God and His life of love to everybody, but especially to those who will believe and receive it. God only fills the hungry souls, but those who think they are already full and do not need Him or to change, He sends empty away![2] You are no fool to give a life you cannot keep for a love you will never lose!
