"I will curse your blessings." Malachi 2:2
This tract originated many years ago from
the Protestant Truth Society in London and has been
reprinted many times. Here it is, updated and entirely
relevant in view of the courting of the Papacy today. At
least the Papal "blessings" have been consistent!
Pope Pius IX sent the
Golden Rose ("blessings") to the King of the Two Sicilies,
and in less than a year, he lost his crown and kingdom.
The same Pope sent his
blessings to the Austrian Kaiser, and in less than a year,
he lost Venetia and suffered defeat at Sadowa.
The same Pope sent the
Golden Rose ("blessings") to Queen Isabella of Spain, and in
a short time, she lost her crown and died in exile.

("blessings") to the Empress Eugenie of France, and in less
than a year, the Emperor and Empress lost their crowns, and
both died later in exile, and their only son was killed by
Zulus in Africa.

was blessed by the Pope. She broke her leg three days after,
and she and the Emperor were dethroned and died in exile.

foundered two days later.
The Pope blessed
General Boulanger and in less than two weeks he was in

soon after.
Dr. Windhorst received
the Papal "Order of Christ", he died in less than a year.
In 1895, the Archbishop
of Damascus, at Vittoria, gave the Pope’s blessings to the
Spanish troops and fleet, with the result, Spain lost two
fleets and two armies.
The Queen Regent of
Spain and King Alfonso were blessed by the Pope. They
promptly lost Cuba and the Philippines.
In 1897, the Papal
Nuncio blessed the grand "Charity" bazaar in Paris. Within
five minutes, it was in flames and nearly 150 of the
aristocracy perished, including the sister of the Empress of
Austria.
The poor Empress of
Austria received the Golden Rose (the "blessing" from the
Pope). It was her death knell. She was murdered in
Switzerland, her only son committing suicide previously and
her nephew losing his throne subsequently, while Austria has
ceased to exist as an Empire.
King Edward VII of
Britain visited the Pope and received, as a mark of favor, a
signed photograph of Pope Leo XIII. At once came news of a
reverse to British troops in Somaliland, and the king’s
health began to fail and was never restored.
The Pope blessed Lord
Denbigh, the special envoy of the British Sovereign. That
very day, disaster befell the British Army in South
Africa—Lord Methuen being severely wounded, and the papists
in Parliament cheered the news.
Princess Ena of
Battenberg received the Pope’s blessing on her perversion
and marriage, 1906. On the same day as the wedding, she
narrowly escaped death at the hands of a Romish anarchist,
some thirteen hapless victims succumbing, and eighty others
being wounded. Her wedding garments were spattered with
blood. One, at least, of her sons was afflicted bodily. May
29th, 1923, the Pope gave the Golden Rose (his "blessing")
to the Queen of Spain (Princess Ena of Battenberg). In May
1931, she, with her husband, King Alfonso XIII, lost their
throne and fled Spain.
The Pope blessed Queen
Natalie of Servia on her perversion in 1906. She ended her
days as a fugitive in exile, her only son, the king, being
murdered.
The Queen of Portugal,
one of the Orleans, was blessed by the Pope. Her husband,
the king, and her eldest son were murdered beside her in a
carriage, and she and her surviving son escaped as exiles to
England, throneless. Portugal has been a republic ever
since.
At the height of his
power, the German Kaiser visited the Pope, and received his
blessing. 1908. He lost his throne in 1918 and died in
exile. Germany became a crushed and humiliated republic.
In 1914, a rich English
land owner, Dyer Edwards, turned papist. In 1916, he went to
Rome, was "blessed" by the Pope, and in four days was dead.
In 1928, the Pope
blessed the ‘Italia’ airship and gave it a cross to place on
the North Pole. The result was fatal. The airship foundered
and broke in two—half its crew being lost whilst General
Nobile was severely injured and was later censured by an
Italian committee. It was the greatest fiasco of that time.
After Mussolini had
murdered the people of Abyssinia and sacked their country,

November of that year.
In 1964 Pope Paul
presented the Golden Rose to Bethlehem. Trouble ahead?
In 1964 Queen Elizabeth
II visited the Pope, complying with his request to be
dressed in black. Since then her once proud Empire has
collapsed and her island is seeking to lose its identity and
be gobbled up in Europe under the Treaty of Rome, to be
subjugated as thoroughly as though the Pope’s protégé,
Hitler, had won the war.
President Sukarno of
Indonesia received from the Pope a few years ago, the
highest Papal honor which can be bestowed on a layman. His
regime has since ended in ignominy.
Arthur Calwell, leader
of Australia’s great Labor Party, received a Papal
knighthood. His promising career soon came to an end and he
has gone into political oblivion.
When Pope Paul visited
India, a converted RC crusader H. Rodrigus, was jailed for
the duration as a precaution against riots. The worst
drought in history followed and the famine is still raging.
The Pope announced he
was paying a visit to the shrine of Fatima in Portugal. A
week before he arrived, a little girl was killed by a bolt
of lightning whilst standing against the shrine.
On 24 April 1966 King
Constantine and Queen Marie of Greece have an audience with
the Pope. On 21 April 1967 some army officers oust King
Constantine in a coup-de-tat. On 12 December 1967 the King
and his family flee from Greece after a counter "coup" in
the King’s favor fails. They now live in exile in Rome.
On 5 October 1965 Pope
Paul VI visits New York City, to address the United Nations
General Assembly. He is met privately by President Johnson,
who hails the visit as a great occasion for the USA. He
introduces his wife and daughter to the Pope, and thereafter
frequently attends mass at Roman Catholic cathedrals.
Johnson's popularity as President steadily declined after
the
1966 elections. On 1
April 1968 President Johnson virtually resigns by announcing
he will not stand for re-election. His
three years in office were among the most tragic in American
History. More than half a million US troops were sent to
Vietnam without decisive results. He had to cope with
anti-war demonstrations, unrest on the campus and Negro
riots. The prestige of the USA abroad was at its lowest.
Johnson died after suffering his third heart attack, on
January 22, 1973.
On 12 May 1964, King
Hussein of Jordan audiences. On the 5 June 1967, his armies

himself, but sent his son-in-law, A.I. Adzubel and wife to
audience with the Pope on 7 March 1963. On 16 October 1964,
Mr. Khrushchev is ousted from his powerful position as First
Secretary of the USSR. From then on he fades from the
political scene.

Gaulle resigns after the defeat of his Constitutional Reform
Bill.

coup-de-tat by an army office Idi Amin. On 10 September

On 30 November 1970,
Pope Paul VI visits Pakistan to see cyclone damage and
sympathize with victims. In March 1971, civil war breaks out

and millions become refugees. In April 1972 President Yahaya
Khan, who allowed the visit is deposed after his armies are
defeated in war against India.
On 29 September 1970,
President Nixon visited the Pope to tell him of his decision
to withdraw all American troops from Vietnam. He is coolly
received with no blessing. In 1972 President Nixon wins the
Presidency with a comfortable majority. Unfortunately, the
story does not end here for Richard Nixon. He compromised by
appointing a personal envoy to the Vatican, as the US
constitution does not allow official representation. On 21
December 1972, Nixon’s son-in-law and daughter (nee Patricia
Nixon) audiences with the Pope. On August 24 1974, President
Nixon is forced to resign ignominiously over the Watergate
Affair.

and industrial crisis since World War II On 4 March 1974,
the Conservative party is defeated. Edward Heath resigns and
in February 1975 he is deposed from party leadership by
Margaret Thatcher.
On 1 December 1970,
Pope Paul VI visits Australia and is welcomed by Prime
Minister John S. Gorton. In March 1971 he is deposed from
part leadership and reverts to a back bencher in August of
that year. On 2 December 1972 the Liberal-Country Party that
permitted this visit is defeated at the elections
overwhelmingly in spite of official support from the Church
of Rome. Mr. Gough Witlam becomes Prime Minister.
When Pope Paul VI
visited Australia in 1970, he pronounced his blessing on
Australia. "May God bless the Great Australian Nation, May
He grant it peace and prosperity." His followers were
delighted and expected great benefit to the nation, but this
is what actually happened. On 27 April 1973, Prime Minister
Whitlam audiences with the Pope, and a few months later
opens diplomatic relations with the Vatican, for the first
time in the nation’s history —and with out any mandate from
the people. In the period that followed, the country is hit
by frequent strikes, intemperate demands for wage rises,
business recession, record rate of inflation of 17% and
serious unemployment from which the nation in 1982 had not
yet recovered. On 25 December 1974, the city of Darwin is
destroyed by a monstrous cyclone. On 13 December 1975, the

December 1977 the Australian Labor Party is again
overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. Mr. Whitlam resigns
from leadership of the ALP.
On 4 June 1977, Mr.
Malcom Fraser, Prime Minister audiences with the Pope. We
were wondering what disaster would befall Mr. Fraser as a
result, but instead, on 6 August 1978, Pope Paul VI dies!
Three months later, his successor, Pope John Paul I also
dies unexpectedly. Mr. Fraser, however, is not yet out of
the wood. His formula for curing the nation of inflation has
met with disaster, for the nation is hit with the highest
unemployment ever!
On 4 June 1975,
President and Mrs. Ford audience with the Pope. On 4
November 1976 President Ford is defeated at the elections
and Jimmy Carter becomes President.
Poland was visited by
Pope John Paul II, 2 -11 June 1979, at the invitation of
Chairman Edward Giereke, and was received by the people with
overwhelming enthusiasm, as though he were a god. Sixteen
months later, in September 1980, Mr. Giereke is sacked from
office, following industrial unrest caused by Solidarity.
Poland now suffers from high inflation, food shortage, and a
record national debt of more than $25,000 million!
Mr. Lech Walesa, who
emerged as leader of Solidarity, had an audience with the
Pope on 14 January 1981 and received his "blessing", hoping
thereby to strengthen his position and that of Solidarity.
Instead on 14 December 1981, Solidarity is stripped of all
its power by the imposition of martial law, and Mr. Walesa
is held in military detention.
Pope John Paul visited
the Philippine Islands on February 23 in 1980, as usual
kissing the soil and blessing these islands. Since then
these islands have been devastated by typhoon Kelly (3/7/81)
Lynn (6/7/81) Clara (28/9/81) Irma (28/11/81) and Lee
(28/12/81) with much loss of life and millions of dollars
damage. Cardinal Sin, Archbishop of Manila, in another
context is reported to have warned that the conditions in
the Philippines are worsening, (The Age 2/1/81)

Egypt had an audience with the Pope on 14 February 1978. He
was assassinated on 7 October 1981.

23 February 1980. He died of a heart attack on 12 June of
the same year.
On May 1980, Pope John
Paul II visited Accra in Ghana and is welcomed by Pres.
Hilla Limann. On 1 January, 1982, a military coup-de-tat led
by Fl Lt. Jerry Rawlings, ousts the government of Pres.
Limann because of alleged corruption. He is arrested while
attempting to flee the country.
On 2 June 1980, Pope
John Paul II visited France and was given a state reception
by Pres. Valery Giseard D’Estaing who also had a private
audience with him. Hardly a year later in May 1981 he is
defeated at the elections by Mr. François Mitterand the
Socialist Party leader.
In December 1979 Pope
John Paul II visited Turkey and was received as head of
state by Prime Minister Suleiman Demirel. On 12 September
1980 Mr. Demirel is deposed in a bloodless coup-de-tat by
Turkey’s military leaders led by Gen. Kenan Evren.
President Jimmy Carter
not only highly eulogized Pope John Paul II when he visited
the USA in October 1979, but even invited him to the White
House and to address Congress! He followed it up by making a
personal visit to the Vatican on 23 June 1980. He was
soundly defeated at the elections in December 1980 by Mr.
Ronald Reagan, who won a landslide victory. The double Papal
"blessing" did not help!
Britain accepts the
favor of a Papal visit—the first ever. Timed for May 1982,
she is plunged into war with 95% Romanist Argentina only
weeks before.
Now Ronald Reagan is to
visit the Pope en route to Versailles. (What came of that?)
One of the classic
examples of the Pope’s blessings boomeranging is that of
Pakistan and India. A few years ago, the Pope visited these
two unfortunate countries, and while it is true, famine and
flood are no strangers to these two countries, the fact
remains that no disaster in living memory was so intense and
destructive as the floods which struck those countries in
the year of 1970, unless it be the present cholera epidemic.
One could go on and on
enumerating cases as above, but there is enough listed to
prove that they are not coincidental.
If Papal blessings
spell disaster, what of the CURSES of the Popes? Yes, they
run in reverse, as the following one or two examples will
demonstrate.
Pope Pius IX cursed
King Victor Emmanuel, the liberator of Italy, and also the
Italian Government that made Italy free and Rome its
capital. The result has been the rise of Italy to the status
of a modern civilized nation, and only suffered a set-back
when the Pope blessed Mussolini and his troops.
Garibaldi was
excommunicated by the Pope for all his patriotic endeavors,
especially the overthrow of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
He became Italy’s hero, whose name was, and is, everywhere
revered, and to whom noble monuments were erected.
When Bismark and the
King of Prussia proscribed the Jesuits, the Pope cursed
Prussia, with the result that it became a Great Power,
overthrew Austria and France, and was for years the most
powerful Empire in Western Europe—until, in an evil day, its
ruler fraternized with the Pope.
The Papal curses, which
the Popes leveled against Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth, Sir
Francis Drake and his merry men, brought untold blessings on
England, while Papal blessings to Ireland have proved its
ruin. How carefully therefore, should British sovereigns
avoid by all means any interaction with the Papacy! Present
day events tragically show that they have not learned their
lesson after all!
It should go without
saying, that everyone who values their lives and souls
should shun the Vatican and the Pope like poison and have no
communication or business with Rome.
It sure makes you wonder about all the
times our 'leadership' in the denomination has RCC clergy to
'bless' our functions and pray and even preside in our
college weeks of prayer!!!
Think also how things are ‘Prospering’
in the USA since all this buddy-buddy relations with the
Vatican!
Do you realize that it was immediately
after Constantine put forth Sunday Laws that Rome’s mighty
Empire began to crumble! History shows the truth for those
who wish to see it.
