Vatican reveals sins only Pope can forgive
Megan O'Toole, National Post, With Files From News Services
Published: Friday, January 16, 2009

Vatican officials this week revealed the inner workings of the Apostolic Penitentiary, a "tribunal of conscience" that has been shrouded in mystery for more than eight centuries.

As the Vatican's highest court, the tribunal deals with confessions considered so grave only the Pope himself has the authority to absolve them.

Defiling the Eucharist, which Catholics believe is the body and blood of Christ, is among several sins that can be forgiven only at the highest level, officials said. Yet confessions of crimes the general public may consider even more serious, including genocide and serial murder, can be dealt with by local priests or bishops.

Established in 1179 by Pope Alexander III, the tribunal has never divulged details of the cases it examines.

This week's two-day conference in the heart of Rome, which gave reporters an unprecedented peek behind the tribunal's secretive curtain, was an effort by Vatican officials to help boost waning confession numbers.

In recent years, fewer Catholics have been receiving the sacrament, which allows congregants to obtain forgiveness after admitting their sins to a priest and accepting penance, often in the form of prayer.

According to Cardinal James Francis Stafford, who heads the Apostolic Penitentiary, the symposium was also designed to increase public awareness of the tribunal's work over the past 830 years.

"Today we talk a lot about God's forgiveness, which is a motive for joy and happiness. But I am a bit worried about the lack of awareness of the connection between this joy and the forgiveness of sins," Cardinal Stafford said.

Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, the tribunal's second most senior official, added even though the penitentiary is ancient, "it's very little known, specifically because by its nature it deals with secret things."

Defiling the Eucharist is one of five sins that can be dealt with only through the tribunal.

Cardinal Stafford says there has been a rise in incidents of people receiving the host and spitting it out or otherwise desecrating it, sometimes in Satanic rituals.

Other sins that would land a repentant Catholic before the tribunal include attempting to assassinate the Pope and, as a priest, breaking the seal of confession by revealing who has sought penance and why. In addition, the Vatican's highest court would handle priests who have offered absolution to their own sexual partners and men who directly participate in an abortion, such as by funding it, and later seek to become priests or deacons.

"That is an irregularity and it means he should not receive the ordination without a dispensation from the Pope," Cardinal Stafford said.

In the event any of these five sins is committed, a detailed account of the case would be sent to the tribunal for further study, both to ensure the true repentance of the sinner and to determine "an appropriate, proportionate penance," said Bishop Girotti.

All of the sins would bring automatic excommunication from the Catholic Church, which could only be lifted if the Pope decided to grant absolution.

The "very serious sin" of clerical sexual abuse is not within the tribunal's jurisdiction, Cardinal Stafford said, but is rather handled by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a Vatican office that investigates and punishes crimes considered anathema to the Church's doctrine.

Other responsibilities of the Apostolic Penitentiary include choosing and co-ordinating the work of priests who hear confessions in Rome's major basilicas, promoting appreciation of the sacrament of confession and offering an annual course for priests and seminarians on administering the sacrament.

---------

SIN BIN

A number of sins are considered so heinous by the Catholic Church that only the Pope can grant absolution. They include: - Defiling the Eucharist, either by spitting it out or using it in a Satanic ritual - Attempting to assassinate the Pope - As a priest, breaking the seal of confession by revealing details about a repentant sinner - As a priest, offering absolution to one's own sexual partner - Participating in an abortion, even by paying for it, and later seeking to become a priest

UNREAL!!!!!!!!!

Now, let's examine the two other partly religious and partly political powers Lucifer is predicted to use to bring this final struggle between Christ and Satan to its end. In Revelation 13:5, we see again how this "First Beast" identifies with Daniel's prediction of the Papacy in Daniel 7:24, 25. Daniel stated the "Little Horn" would speak "great words against the Most High." And so did the Apostle John predict this, and another unmistakable fact that clearly shows us this "First Beast" is the Papacy: "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue FORTY AND TWO MONTHS."
Here we see again this 1260 years of Papal rule. As we have already examined, 42 months in Bible prophecy equals 1260 years. Now in Revelation 13:11-17 we are shown a third partly religious and partly political power emerging in history around the time the Papacy lost its power to control Europe. We are sad to say it, but this "Second Beast" here in Revelation 13:11-17 is Protestant America. The United States is predicted from Scripture to be first a lamb-like nation; however, later it is to speak as a dragon, Revelation 13:11. Let us now examine the 13th chapter of Revelation in more detail.
Revelation the 13th chapter is divided into two parts. Verses 1 through 10 are a prophecy of not only the Papacy, but also the controlling powers of the known world in the ancient past that promoted the various astrological religions that originally derived out of the Babylonian worship of Nimrod, Cush and Semiramis.
If the reader will examine closely the "First Beast" of Revelation 13:1-10 and compare it with Daniel 7:3-8, he will see how similar the two visions are. Daniel 7:3-8 is the same prophecy John the Apostle was given almost 700 years later. Daniel saw these pagan Sun worshipping nations in sequence, while John saw the same prophecy in its full stage. Notice in Revelation 13:1,2 this First Beast is made also from parts of the animals (beasts) we read of as described in Daniel's vision. "And the beast which I saw was like unto a LEOPARD, and his feet were as the feet of a BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a LION: and the DRAGON gave him HIS POWER, AND HIS SEAT, AND GREAT AUTHORITk:" Revelation 13:2.
The Apostle John was not only given the same vision as Daniel, but he was shown even more prophetic truths. The Apostle John was shown Seven Heads among the Ten Horns, and "Another Beast" that Daniel wasn't shown. And John also saw that it is this First Beast that the "Dragon (Satan) gave his power, seat, and great authority." And, it is the Beast (Papacy) about which the book of Revelation warns that will have a Mark, and will have control of commerce "that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the Beast, or the number (666, Rev. 13:18) of his name." However, it is not this first beast that will cause the whole world to receive its "Mark" or its name or its number, 666. It is this "Second Beast" (Rev. 13:11-17) which is "another beast" that Daniel the prophet didn't see in his vision that will actually "causeth the.earth and them which dwell therein to worship the First Beast (Papacy), whose deadly wound was healed." As we pointed out in history, the Papacy's dictatorial rule was taken away by the French in 1798. And in Revelation 13:3 it was predicted: "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." The Papacy's power is predicted from Scripture to be restored!
"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon (Satan, Rev. 12: 9), and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet." Revelation 16:13. These three Satanic powers are also symbolized in Revelation as three beasts (political powers), that arise from three different areas in the world. They are: The Beast that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit, Rev. 11:7, 17:3,8; · The Beast that rises out of the Sea, Rev. 13:1, 2; and · The Beast that comes out of the Earth, Rev. 13:11-17.
These three unclean spirits are predicted to perform such deceiving miracles that most of the inhabitants from the four corners of the world will believe this is the power of God. "For they are the spirits of Devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty" Revelation 16:14.
As we pointed out earlier, it will be Spiritualism that will unite the whole world under a Luciferian Confederacy. And in our day Spiritualism will come in the name of The New Age Movement (Illuminati), Catholicism, and American Apostate Protestantism.
Let us now examine by Bible prophecy and history that the Dragon and the Beast of Revelation 16:13 are symbolized here as the Illuminati and the Papacy; and let us see how it is, indeed, American Protestantism who is the False Prophet.
Like the Beast that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit (Illuminati), America was foretold to emerge around the time the Two Witnesses (Old and New Testament) were finishing their testimony (at the end of the 1260 years of Papal rule). And, like the illuminati, Protestant America was born in the same year (1776). This will be understood by examining Revelation the 13th chapter. Both the Papacy and Protestant America are foretold in Revelation 13:1-18.

Re: pope can forgive sins??? vatican is a whore!!!!!!!!!!!
"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." Revelation 13:1-10.
Revelation 13:1-10 shows the world ruling political powers Satan has used and is using to promote Spiritualism. Some suggest that the seven heads on the beast of Revelation 13:1 represent Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Pagan Rome, Papal Rome and the seventh head is the Papacy again, when its religious dictatorship is restored.
However, most have forgotten about another kingdom that existed before Egypt became a nation. Shortly after the flood, the first kingdom Satan used to promote Spiritualism was Babel. And it was at Babel that Nimrod attempted to unite the world in that day into a One World Government. Egypt was indeed a nation that promoted Witchcraft, but Egypt was never a World Ruling Power. Babel was, and it was in control of the known world about 2,000 years before King Nebuchadnezzar ruled the known world from Babylon. Babylon was built on the ruins of Babel. So, the seven heads found on the Beast of Revelation 13:1 could also be Babel, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Pagan Rome, Papal Rome and the Papacy again restored.
Revelation 13:1-10 gives its reader a complete picture from the post flood era up until the days of this present world history. From Nimrod's Tower of Babel to the founding of the United States, history was laid out in 95 AD for the Apostle John to witness in vision.
From the Tower of Babel and down through the centuries, our Lord showed the political powers Satan would use to spread the worship of himself through Spiritualism. His worship by man started at Babel and is predicted in Scripture to be promoted from the Vatican under a false system of Christianity. The Papacy will be, in the near future, the head of this New World Religion that will unite with all Pagandom and Apostate Protestantism.
Saith the Lord: "And they worshipped the Dragon (Devil) which gave power unto the beast (Papacy): and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" Revelation 13:4.
During the 1260 years of Papal Rule, Satan used Catholicism to get the known world to bow before him. However, shortly before the Papacy was to receive its deadly wound [Revelation 13:3], the United States was to begin its mission in history. Here in Revelation 13:11-17 is the prophecy that predicted the power of American Protestantism that would gradually become the Prophet that will lead all the world again to accept the dictatorial rule of the Roman Catholic Church.
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth greet wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Revelation 13:11-17.
While the Papacy was losing its power in the third quarter of the 18th century, the United States as an independent Protestant Nation began to make its appearance in history. It was to emerge out of a wilderness symbolized in prophecy as Earth (Rev. 13:13). The United States in the beginning was a haven for those Protestant European people who were fortunate enough to escape the brutal Papal Inquisitions. The United States was set up to have both civil and religious freedom. However, sadly enough, the United States is predicted in Scripture to throw away its civil and religious freedoms and "exerciseth all the power of the first beast (Papacy) before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (Papacy), whose deadly wound was healed." In other words, the United States will combine religious laws with politics, as did the Papacy when it first ruled Europe. It will force religious laws that actually derived out of Spiritualism, which the Papacy adopted from the Roman version of the religion of Astrology.
The United States is predicted in Scripture to be the False Prophet that will herald the religious dictatorship of the Pope of Rome, and cause the whole world to accept the Mark of the Beast (Papacy). Since we know now who this third power is, found in Revelation 16:13, that shall go forth with the Dragon (Illuminati) and the Beast (Papacy) unto the whole world to gather them together to battle of that great day of God Almighty, let us now examine how indeed conspirators have been working within the United States government behind the scenes, within the high places of our government and other agencies, to lead our country as it is predicted.

It is blasphemy; claiming to forgive sins that we are to ask only the Father in Heaven to do.

Asking priest and popes to forgive sins or praying to Mary is having other gods.
