The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome

Before I started reading "The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome", I had never read anything by Michael Hoffman. I am giving this book four stars, even though I am only 43 pages into the book, because I think that the author has something important to say. I cannot comment on his other books, as I have not read any of them. However, I do not agree with Mr. Hoffman's preconceived notions about the Catholic Church and its origins; nevertheless, the gentleman is entitled to his own beliefs and opinions regardless of how benighted I might find them. I find the book to be quite intellectually challenging, which I had hoped that it would be when I ordered it.The following quote from Max Planck sums up my religious beliefs: "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." In the Greek "Corpus Hermeticum", Section XI appears to be saying the same thing, except it is describing god; however if one merely substitutes god for consciousness in the above-statement by Max Planck, the discoverer of discrete energy packets, which he described as quanta.. At the beginning of Section XI of the "Corpus Hermeticum," the author states that, "The source of all things is god, eternity is their essence; the cosmos is their matter. Eternity is the power of god, and the cosmos is eternity's work..." (Brian P. Copenhaven translation).My main criticism of this book is that Mr. Hoffman views life through a very narrow lens - some kind of lost Catholicism that never really existed. He would have been better prepared to write such an ambitious work, if he had first done some research into those who disagree with his basic premise about the origins of Christianity and of the Roman Catholic Church. His time would have been very well-spent, if he had read "The Orthodox Christian Conspiracy: How the Church Fathers Suppressed the Original Gnostic Christianity" by Joseph P. Macchio. I don't personally endorse this book in its entirety, but I think that it raises some good historical issues and it is very challenging.Where do our views of life or perceptions originate? In the book entitled, "Biocentrism: How life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understandingthe True nature of the Universe" which was written by Robert Lanza with Bob Berman, the author explains the "First Principle of Biocentrism: [as]What we perceive as reality is a process that involves our consciousness. An external reality, if it existed, would - by definition - have to exist in space. But this is meaningless, because space and time are not absolute realities, but rather tools of the human and animal mind."The author and those who are posting most of the reviews would be well-served by watching William G. Dever's YouTube lectures and/or reading his books. Scripture or religious text in what is known as the Bible has been edited, changed, polished, and held up as the word of God without so much as one scintilla of archeological evidence to substantiate its claims. Did Saint Paul invent Christianity? When did Jesus become God? Was Saint Peter ever really a historical pope of Rome? At their best the Bible, the Talmud, the books of Kabbalah, and any and all oral traditions of the Jews and the Christian are sincere mythmaking. The same can be said for all systems that are based upon belief and faith.

What a book! Much in here about Vatican II, the Babylonian Talmud, Usury, the Zohar, the Kabbalah and its promotor Johannes Reuchlin, on who Michael Hoffman also wrote a lot in Judaism Discovered.The late Eustace Mullins told us in "The Curse of Canaan" that the Rothschilds took over all of the financial operations of the worldwide Catholic Church in 1823. Michael Hoffman claims here: "Our understanding of the papacy's filthy lucre reached a new order of magnitude in 1832, when the Rothschilds began to finance the Church of Rome, two years after Pius VIII removed the last penalties and obstacles to "Catholic" usury and those who practiced it."Corrado Pallenberg detailed, in "Vatican Finances" (1971), 12 Million scudi loans by the Rothschilds to the Holy See, between December 1831 and August 1837. Pallenberg: "On these loans the Holy See had to pay an interest of 5 per cent a year on the nominal value plus 1 per cent for amortization. But if one considers the gap between the nominal value and the price of issue, plus the commission, especially of the usurious first deal concluded with the Rothschilds, the interest became much higher."Unfortunately hardly anything in here about the Sabbatean-Frankist take-over of the Catholic Church. Maurice Pinay's books are not mentioned, nor is Marie Carré's "AA-1025: Memoirs of the Communist Infiltration into the Church". Not a word about the works of E. Michael Jones ("The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit") or Hutton Gibson's "Paul VI's Legacy: Catholicism?" or Michael Rose's "Goodbye Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church". But there's so much in Hoffman's book that's connected to what is told in the above mentioned works, that all who loved these books will be very happy with what Michael Hoffman offers us here.The General Index consists of 34 pages, the Scripture Index 4 pages, the Bibliography 36 pages, and in the middle of the book there are 35 rare colour pictures, on photo paper, among else of works by Michelangelo, who is not loved very much by Hoffman, "When we consider that Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel is regarded as one of the holiest sanctuaries in Christendom, we begin to grasp the depth of human credulity. The Sistine Chapel is the realm of Plato; not Jesus Christ. Our Lord was not a nude, despite the lustful allure of the several revolting depictions of Him hanging virtually nude on the Cross, which we encounter in "Catholic" art after the Middle Ages and which is by no means limited to the Renaissance. Neither were the apostles, disciples or the holy women who followed Him naked, yet the Church of Rome's Sistine Chapel consists of a riot of nudity which marks one of the most startling departures from the true Church of the previous millennium."In the article "The Great Divide" in his Revisionist History Newsletter of April-May 2017 Hoffman concluded: "At its most fundamental level, the division among people is not between Republicans and Democrats; Judaics and gentiles; Protestants, Muslims and Catholics; or blacks and whites or rich and poor. It is between those who seek the truth at all cost, no matter how damaging and disruptive to their own prized and revered beliefs, and those who prefer the comfort of a lie. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the great divide."Buy this book.

Exellant arrived lot earlier thankyou

This book represents a veritable tomb of research and the writer is owed a debt of gratitude for his efforts. The book details the takeover of the Catholic Church by the late 1400's of forces diametrically opposed to the Christianity exemplified by the life and actions of Jesus. The author does a commendable job in helping Protestants to understand that their brand of pseudo Christianity has been as guilty as the Catholic of torturing so called heretics, a practice that finds no support in the teachings of Jesus. Where I find fault Dr. Jones however, is in his contention that in the main, the Catholic Church was on the right track up until the usurpers of the late 1400's took it over. There were many deviations from message of the New Testament from well before that time, the forbidding of priests to marry and hoping in to bed with the political power of the day being but two of a plethora. In contrast, Jesus was offered political power by the Jews and declined it. Apart from that limitation, the book contains a wealth of information on one of the most influential institutions of all time.

Don’t waste your money unless you believe the Earth was created in 7 days around 5000 years ago.
