Holy steps in Rome claims to have blood stains of Jesus

Nine years shorter in Purgatory. Thats what Catholics get for each step they climb on their knees in a Vatican staircase, claimed to have been transported to Rome from Jerusalem.

Catholics who have believed the lies, perform religious rituals at the «Sacred Steps» in Rome.

The so-called «Sacred Steps» in Rome is supposed to be the staircase from Pontius Pilate’s mansion, on which the Catholics are told Christ was made to walk on his knees, carrying the cross.

People still walk on their knees on those 30 odd steps as a mark of Jesus’ sacrifice for mankind. And there are 4 places on the stairs that are encased in gold-framed glass, supposed to be places where drops of Jesus’ blood fell.

How Pilate’s staircase came to Rome?

Helen, the mother of Emperor Constantine, brought it from wherever she might have found it.

In the Catholic Church, plenary indulgence can be granted for climbing the stairs on the knees. Pius VII on 2 September 1817 granted those who ascend the stairs in the prescribed manner an indulgence of nine years for every step. Finally Pius X, on 26 February 1908, granted a plenary indulgence to be gained as often as the stairs are devoutly ascended after confession and communion.

Not a few popes are recorded to have performed this pious exercise; Pius IX, who in 1853 entrusted the Passionist Fathers with the care of the sanctuary, ascended the Holy Stairs on 19 September 1870, the eve of the entrance of the Piedmontese into Rome.

There are replicas (holy copies) of these Holy Stairs at Lourdes, France; St. Anne de Beaupre, Canada; Tytuvenia, Lithuania; Abruzzi, Italy; Nasonville, Rhode Island and at St. Patrick’s.

My comment:

First:

There is no words in the Bible, about Jesus being dragged in a staircase in the Governor`s palace in Jerusalem. And if there ever was such a staircase, how did it end up as a pagan Roman Queens possession, more than 300 years after the life of Jesus?

Second:

And if there were blood in this staircase, how did anyone come to know if the blood was of Jesus? No one had His DNA-profile.

Since Pilate washed his hands of Jesus, would it not be reasonable, that someone would have cleaned up the mess in the staircase?

Third:

Frankly, it is more than unlikely that the Governor would make his presumed blood stained staircase into a «Museum» for a Jew the Jewish crowed wanted to get rid off, and the Roman soldiers crucified.

Forth:

In Mathew 28 you can read how the chief priests and the Jewish elders tried their best to blot out any traces and evidences of a risen Messiah, a cover-up that was supposed to have pleased Pilate.

Fifth:

How do you transport a staircase? I guess it must have been difficult to demolish? Was the building also demolished, and a proper copy of the castle built in Rome, to fit the staircase?

Six:

Jesus did not redeem mankind in the presence of Pilate, and any penance in such a staircase that will redeem the dead Catholics from «purgatory» is not-Biblical non sense.

The Vatican is cheating. The pagans claimed to be «Christians» has built a religion around a copy-cat Jesus, and religious rituals based on fabricated stories that perverts the truth.

Super powers to force end of Zionism in bid to stall nuclear Iran

They are called the Quartet, leaded by papist Tony Blair. On 19th of March they will agree that Israel must give up Zionism to get peace with Islam.

Three wise men on their way to Jerusalem. But not to bring glory to God of Israel and His Son.

The U.S. and Russia are trying to convene a meeting of the so-called Quartet group of peacemakers – the U.S., Russia, the European Union and the United Nations – in mid-March in Moscow, according to diplomats. A tentative date of March 19 has been discussed but is not yet confirmed.

The meeting would bring together Clinton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton along with other European officials, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is now the Quartet’s special representative.

Over a nice cup on tea, Obama and Putin will agree on the future of Israel, without the Israeli leadership being present.

It would seek to build on the work of Mitchell, special U.S. envoy for Middle East peace, who has been shuttling back and forth to the region with only limited success in improving the atmosphere for a resumption in peace talks.

If held as planned, the meeting would follow a recent flurry of U.S. diplomatic activity in the Middle East, including an upcoming trip to Israel by Vice President Joe Biden in the second week of March.

Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg is in Israel now to participate in this week’s U.S.-Israel Strategic Dialogue and Clinton’s other two top deputies, Jacob Lew and William Burns, each returned from separate trips to the region in the past 10 days.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak is due in Washington later this week for talks with senior administration officials and will see Clinton at the State Department on Friday. Clinton herself just returned from a trip to Qatar and Saudi Arabia that coincided with a visit to Israel by Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

My comment:

The US is a slave of its debt, and China will soon be the owner of half of the US gold reserves kept by the Federal system at Fort Knox. China has Iran as one of its main trading partner, and the Communists have never liked Zionists.

Whatever the US Administration wants to do in the Middle East, they will have to work in agreement with Saudi Arabia. Simply because the Saudis own a big chuck of the American debts, and are the main source of the energy the US needs every day.

Little Israel is a hair in the soup. And 300.000 religious Jews are now the only stumbling block towards the coming rule of anti-Christ . The moment the Jewish settlers are removed from Jewish land in Judea and Samaria, the Zionist dream is over. There is no longer any valid reason, why the state of Israel should hold on to «occupied East Jerusalem».

«Tony the Papist Blair» will come up with the brilliant idea: The city of David should be made an International Zone for the three World religions. The Temple Mount should be made into a great International Temple , and United Nations should established a center for World peace in East Jerusalem.

In 1938 Checkoslovakia was sold out to Hitler by England and France, without the offer lamb`s leadership being invited to the summit. In a similar way the state of Israel will be sold out to Islam for about «30 silver coins», by the so-called Christian western powers.

Lets wait and watch.

Bibi gives Papa crisis counselling

This week we learned that the Israeli and Greek premiership had an informal one-on-one discussion about crisis management and international intervention.

The Prime Minister of Greece feels the heat now a days.

Week end comment

By Mike Adams

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu ran into his Greek counterpart George Papandreou while dining out at a Moscow restaurant. Prior to this encounter, the two men had been having talks with the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. In the case of Israel, Iran’s nuclear threat was at the top of the agenda; Greece was wrapping up an energy deal for the Burgas–Alexandroupoli pipeline that will be used to transport Russian oil from the Bulgarian Black Sea port of Burgas to the Greek Aegean port of Alexandroupoli.

The ad hoc meeting lasted an hour, during which time Netanyahu told Papandreou that the international community was obliged to reach out a helping hand to the economically stricken Greece as well as imposing biting sanctions against Iran. The clincher came when Netanyahu presaged that “if Iran gets nukes, so will Turkey”.

To me this sounds as is if Netanyahu is playing Greece off against Turkey. Notwithstanding, it was straight talking from someone at the centre of it all. Poor Greece knows that its prodigious neighbour to the east is no delight, but rather a security liability. In Grecian eyes, the ever present Turkish menace has of late assumed an added sinister dimension – the growing Islamic faction headed up by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is reaching out to other Muslim brothers in arms in “unorthodox” Iran, Syria, Sudan and Gaza. Netanyahu is fully aware that Greece is in a predicament being deemed the economic dunce in the EU class.

WikiAnswers states that the following countries are Greece’s allies: USA, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Armenia, Malta, and France. Their support for Greece is beginning to sound more like doublespeak if indeed they’re speaking up at all. According to WikiAnswers Israel has an ally in: USA, UK, Germany, Turkey and India. Amongst other Israeli allies are Canada, China and the Czech Republic. The sting in the eye for Greece is Israel’s ties to Turkey. That’s changed somewhat in the past few months.

Without elaborating on it, we know that Erdogan has been rubbing Netanyahu up the wrong way for quite some time now. Israel knows that she needs to play up to potential partners, not fraternise with foulmouthed foes. Hence Bibi’s portrayal of Turkey as an ogre and an imminent threat to global stability. Israel may not care to patch up things with Turkey when Greece just happens to pop out of the blue looking for some answers to a major fiscal headache and much, much more.

Banging her head up against one of her columns won’t get the Greece far. The Grecian state has also some serious thinking to do in her stance toward Israel. Will Greece continue to merely tolerate Israel’s existence or will she come alongside a Middle Easterner who really can show what being an ally is all about? Greece will find in Israel an empathetic soul; one who is familiar with standing alone in a sea of resentment and violent hostility. Mutual back-rubbing in the fields of defence, economics, commerce, culture and science will benefit both countries. It’s time for Greece to consider its options.

I’m reminded of what the Israelis did for security during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Israel had voiced displeasure with the arrangements and asked to send its own security detail to protect its athletes. The Greek government reluctantly agreed. Traditionally, the host country is solely responsible for guarding athletes and does not authorise outside police agencies to carry weapons in the Olympic Village.

“We sent a team to Athens to look over security,” a former Israeli military officer had told the Washington Post. “It was so bad that we privately threatened to boycott the Games unless things were changed”. The no-nonsense approach got the Greeks off the track of complacency.

The Olympic security mess was instrumental in getting law enforcement and intelligence agents from Israel to handle training of their Grecian colleagues regarding suicide bombers. Good old Papa was Minister of Foreign Affairs back then as he is now, but he now shoulders the responsibility of the office of Prime Minister as well. It would serve him well to actively bless Israel before it’s too late. I don’t think anyone is too keen on yet another Greek tragedy.
