Satan and the Catholic Church
Is the Catholic Church really aligned with Satan?
Do they come right out and say it? They have. Whether by accident or not, they have. The video link located near the end of this article provides evidence.
For centuries, the Catholic Church has declared itself to be Christian. But they aren’t. They might confess to being Christian, but their actions, beliefs, and teachings say otherwise.

Nonetheless, there are plenty of things that happen within the Catholic Church that will prove that they are of their father the devil.
Before you get your panties in a bunch, please read through this article in its entirety. There’s only one truth. And what the Catholic Church is teaching, isn’t truth. The best lies have truth woven into them.
Jesus said, “It is finished” and the veil was torn in two.
What’s the significance of that? The Holy of Holies was a very special place in the Jewish Tabernacle. It was where God dwelt.
And the veil/curtain would’ve been thick and of high quality. It served one very special purpose. To separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place (aka Holy of Holies).
“Make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.” – Exodus 26:31-33.
On a regular basis, the Israelite priests would perform their various duties in the Holy Place. But only once a year could someone go into the Holy of Holies. And not just anyone. It had to be the chief priest.
“When these things were all in place, the priests regularly entered the first room as they performed their religious duties. But only the high priest ever entered the Most Holy Place, and only once a year. And he always offered blood for his own sins and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.” – Hebrews 9:6-7.
And he couldn’t just walk in either. The sons of the high priest (Aaron) found that out the hard way. He had to go through a ritual.
Leviticus 16 lays out the extravagant ritual he had to go through before entering. If he didn’t go through it precisely, he would die.
Of course, he could only enter on a specific day once a year. Even if he went through all of the rituals, if it was on the wrong day, he would die.
Fast forward a thousand or so years, to the time of Jesus.
During His crucifixion, as depicted in John 19, right before Jesus died, he said, “It is finished.” He had taken on the sins of the world. The man who knew no sin had become sin. To make a way for the rest of us.
In Matthew’s gospel, it tells us that after that the veil/curtain to the Holy of Holies was split in two.
“And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” – Matthew 27:50-51a.
This meant that as believers, we no longer had to rely on the High Priest to atone for our sins once a year. Now, we have direct access to God through His son Jesus Christ.
“Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.” – Ephesians 3:12.
Centuries later, the Catholics still teach that believers have to go through a priest to get to God. Even though the Bible tells us that Jesus made the way.
“For there is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.” – 1 Timothy 2:5.
Catholics said, No it isn’t.
For centuries, the Catholics would only teach in Latin. Why? Because most people couldn’t read it. Therefore, they wanted to be able to teach their congregations what they wanted them to know.
As some began to learn the language and read the Bible for themselves, they realized that what they were teaching was wrong.
Many began standing up against Catholicism until the Protestant Reformation. Interestingly enough, that’s where we get the distinction between Catholic and Protestant.
Even though both the Holy Bible and the Catholic Bible have been translated into several different languages, many (if not most) Catholics don’t know that God wants a relationship with them.
That He loves them and paved the way for them. But they still believe in a “works-based religion.” Where they have to do something to be forgiven.
“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” – Ephesians 2:8-10.
They still believe that they have to go to a priest to ask for forgiveness, to communicate with God (on their behalf), and ultimately to be saved. That without the priest interceding on their behalf, they would surely go to Hell. And for Catholics, it’s an ongoing thing that never ends.
The Bible says otherwise. Once you’ve made that decision, the Holy Spirit will dwell in you. Your body will become His temple.
“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
Sex Orgies in the Catholic Church and the Vatican
The world knows full well about the sex scandals that have plagued the Catholic Church for decades. Primarily gay pedophilia among the clergymen. But their sexual exploits and perversion is nothing new.
Take the fornications of Rodrigo Borgia in the 14th century,
From the diary of Johann Burchard who was a first-hand witness to the events in the Vatican with Rodrigo Borgia aka Pope Alexander VI.
“On the evening of the last day of October 1501, Cesare Borgia arranged a banquet in his chambers in the Vatican with fifty honest prostitutes, called courtesans, who danced after the dinner with the attendants and the others who were present, at first in their garments, then naked.
After dinner the candelabra with the burning candles were taken from the tables and placed on the floor, and chestnuts were strewn around, which the naked courtesans picked up, creeping on hands and knees between the chandeliers, while the Pope, Cesare, and his sister Lucretia looked on. Finally, prizes were announced for those who could perform the act most often with the courtesans, such as tunics of silk, shoes, barrets, and other things.”

24% of Abortion Patients are Catholics – Pope Francis Greenlights Catholics to Abort More
Abortions are horrific and it’s a sin. Not an unforgivable sin but a sin, nonetheless.
When Pope Francis gave priests the authority to grant forgiveness to women to have abortions, he was also giving the green light to those parishioners who might’ve been on the fence about the subject.
For those who might’ve been afraid of being ousted by the church, they no longer had to worry about that.
The following are from the article published in 2016, “What changes when Pope Francis grants all priests the authority to forgive abortions.”
“The Roman Catholic Church will allow priests all over the world to grant forgiveness for abortion. This announcement came from Pope Francis at the end of the Jubilee of Mercy – a holy year dedicated to forgiveness.”
“Procuring abortion, as canon lawyer Edwin Peters makes clear, is treated as both a sin and a crime under Catholic legal codes.”
“What Pope Francis is doing is allowing priests to simultaneously lift the penalty of excommunication and absolving someone who confesses to procuring an abortion.”
“In the United States, for example, Catholic women tend to obtain abortions at a greater rate than Protestant women. In 2014, 24 percent of U.S. abortion patients identified as Catholic.
Given the strong prohibition against abortion in the Catholic Church, it is clear that a significant number of Catholic women in the United States believe that an abortion is a personal decision that reflects their own assessment of what is not only in their best interest but also in the best interests of their families.”
Homosexuality in the Catholic Church
Most people know by now that there’s a problem with many Catholic priests and their sexual desires. Even though they take a vow of celibacy, many of them don’t keep it.
In my opinion, I think they see their celibacy vow in regard to having sex with women. Perhaps that’s why some have turned to homosexuality (even pedophilic homosexuality).
And there are plenty of allegations against them for molesting children (primarily young boys) to support that assertion.
Related articles: Former priest to serve 5 years in prison for molesting juveniles, Illinois report details scale of Catholic clergy sex abuse, Report details sexual abuse of over 600 children by Archdiocese of Baltimore priests since 1940s.
But priests, the Pope, and even practicing Catholics have been in the middle of this controversy over adult homosexuality in the Catholic Church.
For instance, here’s are some extracts from the article “How Catholics around the world see same-sex marriage, homosexuality.”
“Pope Francis made news recently by voicing his support for same-sex civil unions – legal arrangements that give gay and lesbian couples many of the same rights as married opposite-sex couples.”
“In the United States, about six-in-ten Catholics (61%) said in a 2019 survey that they favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry. Same-sex marriage became legal across the U.S. following a Supreme Court ruling in 2015.
In Western Europe, large majorities of Catholics said in 2017 that they support legal same-sex marriage. That was the case in the Netherlands (92%), the United Kingdom (78%), France (74%) and Germany (70%).”
In the same way that Pope Francis greenlighted those on the fence about abortions to jump in. When he endorsed same-sex unions, he did the same for those wavering on homosexuality.
Here’s an extract from the article, “Pope voices support for same-sex civil unions.”
“Pope Francis has made his most explicit endorsement of same-sex partnerships since becoming the leader of the Catholic Church. The remarks are shown in a new documentary that premiered on Wednesday.
In the film, the pontiff urged a ‘civil union law’ that would allow LGBT+ people to ‘be in a family.’
‘They are children of God and have a right to a family,’ he said in the documentary ‘Francesco’ which premiered at the Rome Film Festival.”
I’m sorry Pope, but non-believers are not children of God. All humans are made in the image of God, but according to scripture to become a child of God you have to believe in Christ Jesus and His finished work on the cross.
“But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.” – John 1:12.
“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God by believing in Christ.” – Galatians 3:26.
“If you live under the power of sin, you will die. But by the Spirit’s power you can put to death the sins you commit. Then you will live. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. The Spirit you received doesn’t make you slaves. Otherwise you would live in fear again. Instead, the Holy Spirit you received made you God’s adopted child. By the Spirit’s power we call God Abba. Abba means Father.” – Romans 3:13-15.
Practicing homosexuality is a sin. Even though we are all sinners, homosexuality is going against God’s design for mankind.
“So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” – Genesis 1:27.
“This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” – Genesis 2:24.
“If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” – Leviticus 20:13.
“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.” – Romans 1:25-28.
“Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” – Romans 1:32.
“Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.” – 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.
Now, I’m not judging anyone based on their motives – only their actions. It’s God’s Word that says those who don’t know Jesus will not be allowed into Heaven.
“On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’” – Matthew 7:22-23.
Did you know that once you die, if you haven’t accepted Jesus Christ’s free gift of salvation you will go to Hell?
The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus gives us an example of someone who dies, realizes how bad it is, and then wants salvation.
The passage tells us that once we die, we lose our opportunity for salvation. Though the Catholic Church teaches that you can still pray for a person’s salvation even after their dead. Again, relying on their followers not reading the Bible for themselves.

The Pope and the Devil Horns
Because the Pope is the head of the Catholic Church. Whatever he says or does is seen as very significant. Whether it’s meeting with world leaders, giving speeches, or blessing a crowd of people.
When he does something in public, the world takes notice.
In the images depicted above, the Pope is holding up the sign of horns on both hands. Now some people say that the Pope is simply displaying the “I love you” American sign language symbol.
Let’s look at that for a moment. What might make that hand gesture mean “I love you”?
In American sign language, the letter “I” is displayed by extending only the pinky finger. The letter “L” is made by extending the thumb out and the index finger. And the letter “Y” is created by extending the pinky and the thumb. Again, that’s how those letters are created in American sign language.
Therefore, some then say that hand gesture also means I love you. Again, only in American sign language.
There are a few problems with that, though. The Pope’s not deaf, he’s not an American, and he wasn’t in America when he made those gestures. So that isn’t a valid defense/reasoning at all.
However, the sign of the horns is known throughout the world (including Italy). And outside of American sign language, it doesn’t represent anything good. In fact, the opposite is true.
For those who don’t know, the sign of horns is the sign of the devil. Who’s also known as Satan and Lucifer.
If the Pope is openly displaying the devil’s horns, perhaps he’s showing where his allegiance lies.
Consider the image below.

Thankfully, God Gave All Of Us A Second Chance – One Way Back To Him
But it’s not all gloom and doom for followers of the Catholic Church, the Pope, or any of us for that matter. For we are all sinners and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23).
For our sins, we all deserve death.
“For the wages of sin is death…” – Romans 6:23a.
And if it ended there, then we’d have nothing to live for beyond this life. Thankfully, it doesn’t. That verse continues on with,
“but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 6:23b.
God knew that we were/are sinful people. That’s why He sent His son into the world to give us a way back to Him. A second chance.
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.” – John 3:16-17.
But Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God. There aren’t multiple paths.
“Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.’” – John 14:6.
And He is how we can be saved and receive eternal life.
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” – Romans 10:9-10.
Of course, not all will be saved. Perhaps they love their sinful ways more.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” – Matthew 7:13-14.
Or it could be because they blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
“But the teachers of religious law who had arrived from Jerusalem said, ‘He’s possessed by Satan,[a] the prince of demons. That’s where he gets the power to cast out demons.’
Jesus called them over and responded with an illustration. ‘How can Satan cast out Satan?’ he asked. ‘A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse. Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart. And if Satan is divided and fights against himself, how can he stand? He would never survive. Let me illustrate this further. Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.
‘I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.’ He told them this because they were saying, ‘He’s possessed by an evil spirit.’” – Mark 3:22-30.
All those who die without accepting Jesus Christ will be thrown into the lake of fire (aka the lake of burning sulfur).
“And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” – Revelation 20:10-15.
If you would like your name to be in the Book of Life and be saved from the second death, consider reading “Are You on the Highway to Hell or the Stairway to Heaven?”
At the end of that article, there’s a prayer that will walk you through requesting salvation. Because God is omnipresent (everywhere at all times), He will hear your request.
Remember, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” – Romans 10:9-10.
That also means, allowing the Holy Spirit to grow within you. To turn from your ways (repentance) and trust in Christ. Next, get into a Bible-believing and teaching church. Far away from Catholicism. And learn all that He wants to teach you, from His Word.
