Why does the Vatican look like a giant Key from an aerial perspective? (pics inside)

You promised pics.

Can someone put that picture on this thread?

No pics here.

better question... why does the home of a religion which has "voluntarily living a life in poverty" as requirement to become a priest require its own BANK.

Go to google images

Type in vatican aerial

The 11th photo there is the what i tried to post

I don't know why that link doesn't work

I will try to find another

I agree with both of your claims, but I think there might be even more to this key symbol..

.. It fits in malta and Tsjechië.

My question was worded better...

But, with respect, all things lead to rome ($)

St peter's square is the tip of the key

Yes, thank you for that picture

There is a famous statue at the vatican, I dont know if its an angel or who but he is holding a set of scales and a set of keys.

They symbolicly represent the divine justice of God, and the keys to the gates of heaven.

A couple of years ago "someone" climbed up and stole them, the keys that is.

So there is one thing I can think of. The meaning of the keys.

No man comes to the father but through me. (Jesus)

And it was Jesus that told st peter to build the church on rock etc

If you have a little sqizz at the bible and read about ST Peter, and then have a look at the vatican geographicly, its all very amazing.

Oh eh the key is having building a wall thanks to not doing anything aand eh

Hawaï is non toxic went plants grow there.

It isnt dog rape with red things flying everywhere near the parents who helped create civilisation also but not for bad.

Also not for shrimp clowns.

So many things wrong with this statement I dont know where to begin.


Becoming closer to God means letting go of a few things. Things of this world are meaningless to things of GOD.

Its not "so much" living in poverty, it is far more about not being distracted with earthly pleasures, to spend ones time contemplating and praying to God.

Mediation, and meditation.


As for the "bank" oh come on. The vatican is its own COUNTRY!! It has its own postal service, it naturally has its own bank!! of course it does. It is its own country with its own rules and regulations.

Even hitler and musselini didnt muck with the vatican during the war!!

People have got this huge delemna about the catholic church. Yes there have been pedophiles in the church. There has also been pedophile lawyers, and doctors, and police, and even judges. It doesnt make no difference what job you have if your a pedophile.

Being celibant (spelling im shocking) Is a hard thing to do. Its very difficult for anyone to go "without" sex. It goes against nature. Its the act of being celibate, that is a personal test of wills for a priest. It might have been easier to do years back when we had monestries, but times have changed and priests today have a more social role. Which brings them into the public more, and brings them much closer to people.

And we know what happens then. There has been great debate in the church to relax some of these "rules" These "rules" arent binding, they are there to help the priests in their works. Im sure if you really need to have sex with someone, God aint gonna mind.

Its recognised now that we all need to keep "healthy" in that regard. We cannot blame an entire church for the misgivings of a "few" people.

Temptation has many faces.

Stop focusing on the bad and have a look at the good.
And PLEASE dont give me the crap about how rich the catholic church is. If you want "monetry" wealth have a look at the mormans and the so called Scientology and "potters house people" and all the other "big business" "churches"

Saint Peters church was founded by, SAINT PETER!!, it is still there for a reason, and that reason will mke itself abundantly clear "oneday" Talk to a catholic priest or sister and educate yourself.

Its not allways about money. The devil is in the detail.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

You're kidding right?

Why can the key only be seen from the sky?

Pics or it didnt happen!

With The Vatican: It's a Case of Do as I Say & Not as I do..

Saint Peter Never went to The Vatican, If you educate yourself by reading The Bible instead of asking a Priest or Nun, You will Find That Jesus sent Peter to Preach to the Jewish Race, The Rock: He builds His Church on is Himself!

All through The Bible The Rock is Christ, If you read the Verse after He calls Peter "A" Rock (& Not "THE" Rock) He then Condemns Peter Telling Him that He loves The Ways of Man and Not God (Mark 8:33 & Matthew 16:23)

The Simon Peter Who The Catholic Church is Built on Is:
Simon Magus (a Man Witch) who told everyone He was Christ Re-incarnated He was the Original Pope and He Married all things Pagan under the guise of Christianity

At St peter's square there is a Giant Solar Wheel which is a Symbol for The Wheel of Life/Sun Worship Combined and they also have an Obelisk which is also Sun Symbolism with Obvious phallic symbolism.

The Sun Symbolism Never Quits in the Roman Catholic System
They sacrificed God's Holy Second Commandment(about idols poof its Gone!from Exodus 20:4-6) and The Forth one They Sacrificed directly to the Sun(-day) itself.
[link to www.the-ten-commandments.org]

Look at the Eucharist its an obvious Sun disk, The Roman Priests who predate Christ also had The Sun-wafer Ceremony where the Sun God was called out of Heaven and put into a Wafer for them to ingest.(gaining The Power of the Sun)

All the Saints, Mary, Christ and Papal Persons are often depicted with Sun Disks behind Their Heads, Which in the East means they are Enlightened (With The Power of The Sun)

All, I repeat "All" paganism dating back to the Time of Nimrod is Celebrated inside of The Catholic Church.

Just "One" of the many Reasons it is The Antichrist Power mentioned in Revelation/Daniel "Home of Every Unclean Bird" (Revelation 18:2)

First time I've seen a Catholic apologist in a while..

Theres a reason we are called "Christians" thats is CATHOLIC Christians. There are no other. Its called Saint Peters Square for a reason...............

As for the "sun disc" thing you got happening there, oh please. The "halo" so often represented around pictures of saints etc is there simply to imply "holiness" or better put, the spirit in visual theme.
To go further and say its sun worship is a reach, with NOTHING to back it up. The "roman priests who predate christ" could not possibly been called "christian" so that puts a stop to that lark.
I dont know the history behind this "obelisk" but to put a "Obvious phallic symbolism" to it is quite frankly, another "reach"

Islam is built upon the first testament. Up and until the time of Jesus. Then things go a bit haywire. Not that Im knocking them. "There is no god but allah", or whatever it is they say, isnt a far reach, they have that bit right.

Im quite sure that God wouldnt allow the church he built to become so distorted as to worship the sun and not him.

"The Simon Peter Who The Catholic Church is Built on Is:
Simon Magus (a Man Witch) who told everyone He was Christ Re-incarnated He was the Original Pope and He Married all things Pagan under the guise of Christianity"

crap. just one little word. means sooo much.

You REALLY need to lighten up a bit here, your taking it all a bit too far.

Faith requires TRUST. Trust IS faith.

Faith is beleiving your heart, not just what someone tells you, cause your heart is where God lives.

Have faith and trust in your own belief, in your own heart, in what god tells you. Love one another and do as you would have others do to you. Its pretty simple.

There are people "out there" who think they are "special" so special in fact they want to tell everyone else just how good they are. Be very careful with these people. These people will say ANYTHING to make you beleive they are special.

Do you REALLY believe that the catholic church is some kind of front for a "sun worshipping" cult based on pagan beleifs??

REALLY?

Hint: It sits atop seven hills and is a nation unto itself and in all nations.

What is the day of worship again?

Oh yes, that's right - Sunday

Interestingly enough, shortly after sunset on SUNday, MOONday begins
