The Vatican & Catholicism

The Vatican is a very interesting place, and Catholicism is a very interesting force.

We see architecture is similar to that which in in D.C. "In almost all cultures the dome has been associated with the female principle, the womb, the matrix. Opposed to it is the obelisk, the ancient Egyptian phallic symbol representing the male principle. The union of those two principles gives birth to a third entity, an offspring, that can be described as “spiritual energy”. Whether this energy is symbolic or a palpable reality is something that I’m not (yet) qualified to advance on. Many theories claim that shapes such as pyramids, domes and arches can either store, extract or diffuse energy from their surrounding area but I’ll leave this analysis to someone else. The theme of the union of male and female principles is very common in occult architecture and is surely the most easily recognizable." --- The Inquisition is a bloody part of our world history in which the Catholic church began to spread it's power and influence on a wide-spread scale; and it's tactics were anything but what Christ and the Bible instructs people and Christians how to live.

What's interesting is if you look at the Catholic Churches version of the 10 commandments you may find something different between the two. It is argued that this is because of all the 'idols' and 'graven images' that one can easily observe within Catholicism. Below you see a picture of the Pope bowing to a statue of the virgin Mary.

Surprisingly there are many variations between two religions that use the same 'Holy Book' -Catholicism says that the priest is supposed to stay single and be a man of God and never marry a woman. -The Bible says in 1Tim 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; This is a giant issue and should be noticed considering the many, many molestation cases within the Catholic church. -Catholicism refers to the priest as 'father.' -The Bible says in Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. -Catholicism established 'sacraments' that must be fulfilled by all devout Catholics. -The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. -Catholicism does 'confession' -The ritual of confession in the practices of Catholicism is not anywhere in the scriptures.
