Popes of the Benandante/Malandante Inquisition
©
By Rev. Darcie 2007
During
the time of the early 13th century until the 17th century,
the Benandante were questioned on travels to Sabbats
with Witches and what they did to protect the faith,
and they were constantly questioned what faith it is
that they are protecting. Many were Benandante, commoners,
Popes, Cardinals, Friars and more would go out as one
and fight the Malandante and they evil they tried to
plague upon the lands. The Benandante were there to
keep the harvests from being destroyed and to protect
the children from bewitchment and the mothers pregnancy.
However, there came a time when many went astray and
those who were still true, were still persecuted. Carlos
Ginzburg goes deep into the world of the Benedante and
Malandante to show us what was done to protect all from
the evil. Benedante are those born of the sign and they
are usually the third born and are commissioned for
life to defend the innocent from the evil. They are
"Warriors" and they do not hide behind the
shadows, they stand in front of them and destroy them
for the fertility of the land.
A
more famous Pope that is not mentioned on this list
who too was a Benendante was Pope Padre Pio, however,
his time was after the initial persecution of the earilier
centuries.
This
is a listing of the Popes that resided in the Holy See,
during the time of Night Battles, by Carlos Ginzburg.
Popes
of the Catholic Church 1447-1676, a time when the Benandante,
were being denunciated. 32 Popes in all, however, only
6 were mentioned by name directly during the time of
the Benandante Inquisitions, in Carlos Ginzburg’s
Night Battles, of those 6 I believe only one was a friend
of the Benandante.
Nicholas V 1447-1455; born Tomaso Parentucelli on 15
Nov 1397 to 24 March 1455, from Sarzana, Liguria, Italy,
located on the N.W. coast of Italy. His chart exists
of the following; Scorpio Sun, Gemini Moon Mercury in
Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter
in Leo and Saturn in Sagittarius.
Parentucelli
became a tutor in the families of the Strozzi and Albizzi,
where he made the acquaintance of the leading humanist
scholars. The family of Strozzi was married into the
Medici family and the Albizzi family were rivals of
the Medici. Moreover, during the time of Nicholas V
tutoring of the two families he met and learned of the
humanist theology. He was of knowledge and within his
personal library held many books [approx nine thousand]
from Greek, Pagans, and Christianity, upon his death
these ended up in the Vatican library. He passed over
on the Feast of Gabriel. Under the generous patronage
of Nicholas V, humanism made rapid strides as well.
The new humanist learning had been looked on with suspicion
in Rome, a possible source of schism and heresy, an
unhealthy interest in paganism. Nicholas V instead employed
Lorenzo Valla as a notary and kept hundreds (confirm;
this seems high) of copyists and scholars, with the
special aim of wholesale translations of Greek works,
pagan as well as Christian, into Latin, giving as much
as ten thousand gulden for a metrical translation of
Homer. This industry, coming just before the dawn of
printing, contributed enormously to the sudden expansion
of the intellectual horizon. Nicholas V founded a library
of nine thousand volumes. The Pope himself was a man
of vast erudition, and his friend Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini,
later Pope Pius II (1458–1464), said of him that
"what he does not know is outside the range of
human knowledge". Lorenzo Valla was to be denunciated
before the Inquisition, on his beliefs, however, charges
were dropped.
Nicholas
V, is one of the six mentioned in Night Battles, pg
177 ~ 31/2nd paragraph; on 1 August 1451, addressed
a bull to Hugo Lenoir, the Inquisitor General of France,
exhorted him to pursue and punish ‘sacrilegos
et divinatores, etaim si haeresim non sapiant manifeste.
This gave Inquisitors the possibility of arrogating
to themselves cases involving simple superstition, as
in fact occurred in many instances. In 1452, Nicholas
V wrote Dum Diversas, granting the king of Portugal
the right to reduce any "Saracens, Muslims, pagans
and any other unbelievers" to hereditary slavery.
This papal bull legitimated the colonial slave trade
that begun at this time with the expeditions of Henry
the Navigator for exploring a sea route to India, which
were financed with African slaves. This approval of
slavery was reaffirmed and extended in his papal bull
Romanus Pontifex [condoning slavery of those who were
non Catholics and carried this over into Africa, the
beginning of slave trading] of 1455.
On
an interesting note the current Pope Benedict XVI born
Ratzinger was appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising
on the same day as Nicholas V died Feast of Gabriel,
24 March 1977, and both years ,1455 and 1977 add up
to the number 6.
Pius
II 1458 – 1464; born Enea Silvio Piccolomini on
18 October 1405 and died 14 August 1464, from Corsignano,
Italy, Toscana region.
In
1435 he went on a mission to seek out an object in which
to this day is not known to Scotland under the order
of Cardinal Albergati, Eugene IV. This journey left
such an impression on him that he from that day swore
to walk barefooted to the nearest shrine of Our Land
from their landing port. I think this was a journey
in search of the secret location of Mary Magdalene.
During the time of the Benandante, he called for a new
crusade against the Ottoman’s which is dated 26
September 1459 and it lasted three years.
He
also had high regard as well as a strong influence on
Vlad III Dracula, in starting a war against Mehmed II.
He gave the new King of France, Louis XI, to abolish
the Pragmatic Sanction of Borjas, by which the Pope’s
authority in France had been grievously imjpaired. He
was able to adapt to surrounding circumstances and was
of a kind heart. He had a pure soul. A friend to the
Strega/Benandante.
Pope
Clement VIII, born Ippolito Aldobrandini; born on 24
February 1536 and died 3 March 1605.
Murdered
Filippo “Giordano” Bruno, 17 February 1600.
One year later had Menocchino put to death, for he himself
had created a cosmology, holding that all life evolved
like rotten cheese, there is mention of this Inquistion
in The Cheese and the Worms, by Carlos Ginzburg. He
was also against the Jews he confirmed an already written
bull that all Jews were to live in ghetto Rome, Ancona,
and Avignon, thus making sure they stayed out of Rome.
Later
in life suffered gout, I wonder why, ass hole. He also
declared coffee the “bitter invention of Satan”
because of its popularity with the Muslims. He ended
up saying we should cheat the devil by baptizing it.
Paul
V, born Camillo Borghese, on 17 September 1550 and died
28 January 1621 [died the same day as Henry VIII]. Married
into the family of Clement VIII.
Paul
met with Galileo Galilei in 1616 after Cardinal Bellarmine
had, on his orders, warned Galileo not to hold or defend
the heliocentric ideas of Copernicus. Whether there
was also an order not to teach those ideas in any way
has been a matter for controversy. A letter from Bellarmine
to Galileo, however, states only the injunction that
the heliocentric ideas could not be defended or held;
this letter was written expressly to enable Galileo
to defend himself against rumors concerning what had
happened in the meeting with Bellarmine. Galileo on
the other hand went inside the church to hide, allthewhile
still practicing his theology.
He
also excommunicated anyone who was not of the Catholic
faith and that covered all of Venice at that time, and
in rebellion of the Pope’s decision the Jesuits,
Theatines, and the Capuchin celebrated the Feast of
Corpus Christi, which is mentioned in Night Battles
as one of the Ember Days in which we the Benandante
go out and fight for the harvests to prosper against
the malandante. Corpus Christi is a time which is known
on today’s calander as Lent during the time of
the Christian fast, 4 Feb to 10 March. The Jesuits,
Theatines and Capuchin are all off shoots of the Francisan
Order, which honoured St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis
is the saint of sick and poor and later travelled to
Egypt, Syria and many other countries to to convert
people. His order at the time, was the only order to
accept Women.
Paul
was also guilty of guilty of nepotism, and his nephew
Cardinal Scipione Borghese wielded enormous power on
his behalf, consolidating the rise of the Borghese family.
Innocent X; born Giovanni Battista Pamphilj 6 May 1574
and died 7 January 1655.
His
nephew being the Cardinal Francesco Barberini of the
Capchuin friars, who was one of few in charge of the
Michele Soppe Inquistion. Friar Francesco Barberini
wrote to the Inquisitor of Aquileia on 11 December 1649,
Michele Soppe’s crimes are extremely serious,
but he cannot be sentenced to the maximum penalty unless
the crimes of infanticide to which he confessed are
verified. Then again on 18 December, Cardinal Francesco
Barberini himself explained why the Congregation was
dissatisified with the manner in which the trial against
Soppe had been carried out. Night Battles, by Carlos
Ginzburg, pg 125 sec 12, pg 126 is the letter.
However,
later Francesco Barberini and his brother had to flee
to Paris to avoid punishment for false charges of misapproiating
funds. The Barberini family honoured the Goddess as
was evidence in the art in which the family inquired.
The
Pope in this case, however, did view and discuss this
case, but wanted more verified proof of the charges
against Michele Soppe. I do not feel the Pope himself
was a friend, though he was through in the investigation
before taking action, on the other hand Cardinal Francesco
Barberini was a friend.
Guido
Reni's archangel Michael (Capuchin church of Santa Maria
della Concezione, Rome) tramples a Satan with the vividly
recognizable features of Pope Innocent X.
Clement
X born Emilio Bonaventura Altieri on 13 July 1590 and
died 22 July 1676.
Clement
X, on the 24th of November, 1673, beatified nineteen
martyrs of Gorcum, taken prisoner at Gorcum, the Netherlands,
and put to death in Brielle on the 9th of July, 1572,
in hatred of the Catholic faith, the primacy of the
Pope, the Roman Church, and the Holy Sacrament of the
Eucharist. Of the nineteen Gorcum martyrs, eleven were
Franciscan priests; Peter Ascanius and Cornelius Vican,
laymen; one Dominican, two Premonstratensian monks,
a regular canon of Saint Augustine, and four secular
parish priests.
The
only mention of him in Night Battles in the later part
of the Appendix pg 203, sec 17 # 82 that Clement X extended
to the entire Church the right to take part in the Feast
of Angels.
He
died of gout also. Seems many of the Pope’s died
from gout.
The other thirty one Pope’s during this time were
not mentioned by acts within the Night Battles, as I
do not feel that took these Inquisitions to heart as
many were friends if not themselves Strega/Benandante.
Many, however, were of the families of the Medici, Sforza
and Borja. Others were of the Francisan Order and others
came from regions in which Benandante were denunciated.
Then of course Clement the VII was dealing with Henry
VIII at the time with his desire of annuling the Queen
of England Katherine of Aragon.
