Saint Martin Luther was 34 years
old when he posted his 95 Theses
on the church door in Wittenberg,
Germany.
The Theses were in medieval
Latin—a language only understood
by scholars and the clergy of the
Latin church.
Saint Martin Luther (Nov.
10, 1483- Feb. 18, 1546).
Sympathetic friends translated his
Theses into German, and thanks to
the newly invented printing press,
they were all over Europe in a
month!!
October 31, 1517.
The printing press was God's gift to Saint Martin Luther!!
As we stated, the 95 Theses were all over Europe in the short space of a month—thanks to the newly
invented printing press.
In 1450, Johannes Gutenberg invented printing from movable type....This was one of the greatest
inventions in the history of the world.
Wittenberg was the printing
capital of the world for at
least 50 years after the
beginning of the
Reformation.
Saint Martin's press threw
OCEANS of ink at the devil.

The Vatican was officially excommunicated from the pale of Christendom on December 10,
1520....After Saint Martin made heroic efforts to get her to repent and return to Apostolic Christianity,
she answered defiantly with a Papal Bull demanding that he appear in Rome within 60 days to answer
to the charge of "heresy." He knew that if he went to Rome . . . he would have been POISONED . . . or
BURNED ALIVE!!
Saint Martin answered the challenge by officially excommunicating the Latin kingdom from Christ's
Congregation forever:
Rome was
OFFICIALLY
EXCOMMUNICATED
from Christ's
Congregation by the
burning of the Papal
Bull on December 10,
1520.
Flames devour
the Papal Bull.
Saint Martin officially
designated Rome
Babylon, and warned
the people that they
cannot be saved
unless they obey the
Lord and come out of
her. (Rev 18:4).
Saint Martin burns the Bull Exsurge Domine.
Instead of Saint Martin going up in flames, the Papal Bull Exsurge Domine, the Decretals of Clement
VI, the Summa Angelica, the Chrysposus of Dr. Eck etc., etc., went up in flames....Thus commenced
the burning of Babylon which will continue to the end of the world.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth
her.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously
with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of
her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city
Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. (Revelation 18:810).
Pope Alexander VI had just "donated" the entire world to the
Spanish Inquisition!!
When the fake "Discoverer" Christopher Columbus arrived back in Spain from visiting the New World,
Pope Alexander VI "donated" the entire continent to Spain, and strictly warned ALL others not to even
THINK about going there without a licence from Ferdinand and Isabella . . . and their successors:
Furthermore, under penalty of excommunication late sententie to be incurred

ipso facto, should anyone thus contravene, we strictly forbid all persons of
whatsoever rank, even imperial and royal, or of whatsoever estate, degree,
order, or condition, to dare, without your special permit or that of your aforesaid
heirs and successors, to go for the purpose of trade or any other reason to the
islands or mainlands, found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered,
towards the west and south, by drawing and establishing a line from the Arctic
pole to the Antarctic pole, no matter whether the mainlands and islands, found
and to be found, lie in the direction of India or toward any other quarter
whatsoever, the said line to be distant one hundred leagues towards the west
and south, as is aforesaid, from any of the islands commonly known as the
Azores and Cape Verde; apostolic constitutions and ordinances and other
decrees whatsoever to the contrary notwithstanding. (Inter Caetera Bull ).
4 months later, in a move of gigantic audacity, Pope Alexander VI "donated" the entire world to Spain:
But since it may happen that your envoys and captains, or vassals, while
voyaging toward the west or south, might bring their ships to land in eastern
regions and there discover islands and mainlands that belonged or belong to
India, with the desire moreover to bestow gracious favors upon you, through our
similar accord, knowledge, and fullness of power, by apostolic authority and by
tenor of these presents, in all and through all, just as if in the aforesaid letters full
and express mention had been made thereof, we do in like manner amplify and
extend our aforesaid gift, grant, assignment, and letters, with all and singular the
clauses contained in the said letters, to all islands and mainlands whatsoever,
found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered, that are or may be or
may seem to be in the route of navigation or travel toward the west or south,
whether they be in western parts, or in the regions of the south and east and of
India. (Dudum Siquidem Bull).
Thank God that Protestant England and heroic Holland ignored that global papal usurpation by
establishing colonies around the world.
The Fall of the Papal States was another great result of the
Reformation
Before 1870, the city of Rome and vast surrounding territories were misruled by the Papal dynasty for
over 1000 years.

States.
The States were run by
PRIESTS and POLICE
and flying the United
States flag could get you
a long prison sentence!!
Papal States in 1796.
Papal States in 1860.
In July of 1870, Pope Pius IX declared himself infallible; in August of 1870, Napoleon III declared war
on Prussia. The French troops of Napoleon III who were garrisoning the city of Rome had to be
withdrawn, and the Italian patriots rushed in and declared Rome the capital of a united Italy. Italy was
united again as one country for the first time in over 1000 years.
Duke Albrecht or Albert of
Prussia (1490-1568).
The kingdom
of Prussia,
which won
such an
astonishing
victory over
the French
armies, was
founded by
Albrecht von
Hohenzollern,
Grand Master
of the
Teutonic
Order.
Italian troops entered Porta Pia on Sept. 20, 1870.
Duke Albert
was won to
the true Faith
by Saint
Martin Luther
in 1525.
This Prussian victory brought about the final unification of the German Empire under King William I of

Prussia. It also marked the downfall of Napoleon III and the end of the French Second Empire, which
was replaced by the Third Republic. As part of the settlement, the territory of Alsace-Lorraine was
taken over by Germany, which would retain it until World War I.
Popes Pius IX & Leo XIII condemned the loss of the Papal States!!
Pope Pius IX, anticipating the loss of the Papal States, emphatically condemned their loss
BEFOREHAND in his Syllabus of Errors:
76. The abolition of the temporal power of which the Apostolic See is possessed
would contribute in the greatest degree to the liberty and prosperity of the
Church. —Allocutions "Quibus quantisque," April 20, 1849, "Si semper antea,"
May 20, 1850. (Condemned as error).
In the 20th century, Pope XIII reaffirmed the teaching of the Syllabus of Errors:
Wherefore, that We may above all things, and in every possible way, maintain
the rights and freedom of this Holy See, We shall never cease to strive that Our
authority may meet with due deference; that obstacles may be removed which
hamper the free exercise of Our ministry and that we may be restored to that
condition of things in which the design of God's wisdom had long ago placed the
Roman Pontiffs. We are moved to demand this restoration, Venerable Brethren,
not by any feeling of ambition or desire of supremacy, but by the nature of Our
office and by Our sacred promise confirmed on oath; and further, not only
because this sovereignty is essential to protect and preserve the full liberty of
the spiritual power but also because it is an ascertained fact that, when the
temporal sovereignty of the Apostolic See is in question, the cause of the public
good and the well-being of all human society in general are also at stake. Hence
We cannot omit, in the discharge of Our duty, which obliges us to guard the
rights of Holy Church, to renew and confirm in every particular by this Our Letter
those declarations and protests which Pius IX., of sacred memory, Our
predecessor, on many and repeated occasions published against the seizing of
the civil sovereignty and the infringement of rights belonging to the Roman
Church. (Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII, p. 15).
The TIARA represents the temporal power of the Pope!!
The triple crown or TIARA that the Pope still wears represents the temporal power . . . and is as vital
to the Latin kingdom as the Papacy itself!!
Therefore, they can never relinquish their dream of getting their fallen kingdom back.
The 3 kingdoms that were uprooted from central Italy to make way for the temporal power were:
1.
The Vandals were destroyed by general Belisarius. (Circa 533
A.D.).
2.
The Ostrogoths were destroyed by general Belisarius. (Circa 545
A.D.).

3. The Lombards were uprooted by Charlemagne. (Circa 774 A.D.).
These wars lasted for CENTURIES and oceans of blood were shed to obtain the temporal
power....This was the fulfillment of the rise of the LITTLE HORN found in Daniel chapter 7:
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little
horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:
and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking
great things. (Daniel 7:8).
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and
before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake
very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. (Daniel 7:20).
The triple crown or TIARA
represents the 3 kingdoms that
were plucked up by the roots or
totally exterminated to make way
for the Papal States.
The papacy is totally dependent
on the Pentagon to restore the
lost States!!
