Vatican criminal Jews

“Mrs. Van Hyning, I am surprised at your surprise.
You are a student of history and you know that both the Borgias and the Medicis are JEWISH families of Italy. Surely you know that there have been Popes from both of these houses. Perhaps it will surprise you to know that we have had TWENTY JEWISH POPES, and when you have sufficient time, which may coincide with my free time, I can show you these names and dates. You will learn from these that: The crimes committed in the name of the Catholic Church were under JEWISH Popes. The leaders of the inquisition was one, de Torquemada, a Jew.” (as was he a notorious mass murderer of Jews) – Woman’s Voice, November 25, 1953.

“The Borgia family (aka Borja, Borjia and Borges) became prominent during the Renaissance in Italy. They were from Valencia, the name coming from the family fief of Borja, then in the kingdom of Aragon, in Spain.

The Borgias became prominent in ecclesiastical and political affairs in the 15th and 16th centuries, producing three popes, Alfons de Borja who ruled as Pope Calixtus III during 1455–1458, Rodrigo Lanzol Borgia, as Pope Alexander VI, during 1492–1503, and Giovanni Battista Pamphilj (he was the descdenant of Rodrigo Borgia) who ruled as Pope Innocent X during 1644–1655.

Especially during the reign of Alexander VI they were suspected of many crimes, including adultery, simony, theft, rape, bribery, incest, and murder (especially murder by arsenic poisoning[1]). Because of their grasping for power they made enemies of the Medici, the Sforza, and the Dominican friar Savonarola, among others. They were also patrons of the arts who contributed to the Renaissance.

Today they are remembered for their corrupt rule and the name has become a synonym for treachery and poisoners.”

The Medici were a powerful and influential Florentine family from the 13th to 17th century. They produced four Popes of the Catholic Church—Pope Leo X (1513–1521), Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), Pope Pius IV (1559–1565), and Pope Leo XI (1605); two regent queens of France—Catherine de’ Medici (1547–1559) and Marie de’ Medici (1600–1610); and, in 1531, the family became hereditary Dukes of Florence.

Their wealth and influence initially derived from the textile trade guided by the guild of the Arte della Lana. Like other signore families they dominated their city’s government, they were able to bring Florence under their family’s power, allowing for an environment where art and humanism could flourish. They fostered and inspired the birth of the Italian Renaissance along with other families of Italy, such as the Visconti and Sforza of Milan, the Este of Ferrara, and the Gonzaga of Mantua.

The MEDICI BANK was one of the most prosperous and most respected institutions in Europe. There are some estimates that the Medici family were the wealthiest family in Europe for a period of time. From this base, they acquired political power initially in Florence and later in wider Italy and Europe. A notable contribution to the profession of accounting was the improvement of the general ledger system through the development of the double-entry bookkeeping system for tracking credits and debits. This system was first used by accountants working for the Medici family in Florence.

“Thomas de Torquemada lived from 1420 to 1498. Born at Valladolid, he entered the Order of Preachers as a young man. Later, he became a Dominican Friar, theologian, canonist, and Cardinal. In 1474 Torquemada was appointed Confessor to Queen Isabella. It was in this position that he used his influence to spread his ideas and vision of the upcoming Inquisition.

In 1478 King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile agreed with Pope Sixtus IV to begin the Spanish Inquisition. It was to cleanse the Church of heretics in Spain and abroad. The King and Queen had been reluctant to begin the Inquisition since the Church would need to take some of their independence for the Inquisition to work. Queen Isableea was counciled by Thomas de Torquemada to allow the Inqusistion to begin. She initially resisted, but after some time finally agreed to solicit a Papal Bull from Pope Sixtus the IV. The Papal Bull, a letter from the Pope to all the lands governed by Christianity, was issued on the date of November 1, 1478. The Bull allowed for the appointment of two or three ecclesiastical inquisitiors for the detection and suppression of heresy.

Crow (1963) said, “The Inquisition was always under the control of the Crown, and it was efficiently used to increase the royal power by depriving the suspected converts of their lands, their wealth, and their influence.” (p. 145) The Inquisition began as persecution against Muslims and Jews, but then turned against political opponents to try and give national unity to their domains. The inquisition was organized so that a high council of five apolistic inquisitors assisted the Grand Inquisitor, who was initially Thomas de Torquemada. This served as the Chief Inquisitorial court in the land. There were nineteen lesser courts that operated in Spain and three others that worked in the colonies. A council of administration called La Suprema was added, and this had jurisdicition over all measures concerning the Christian faith. The council, similar to the high court, was run by the Inquisitor General. “Inquisitor General had direct access to the sovereign and exercised absolute and unlimited power over the whole population and was superior to all human law. No rank high or low escaped his jurisdiction.” (Crow, 1963, p.27) In February of 1482, seven additional inquisitors were commissioned by the Pope. The first inquisitor General appointed by the Pope and backed by Isabella, was Thomas de Torquemada.

Eliade (1967) noted that between 1484 and 1498 Torquemada set down the basic procedure of the Inquisition in a series of Instrucciones. The 54 procedures were published in 1576. Major Arthur Griffits (1991) stated “Thomas de Torquemada was rigid and unbending and knew no compromise.” (p.28) Ironically, Torquemada had descended from a Jewish family, yet during the Inquisition, he was harsher toward people of Jewish heritage than any other. In 1492 he supported the expulsion of the Jews from the newly united Spain. Then in February of 1482, seven additional inquisitors were commissioned by the Pope. This was just the beginning in a long line of indignities passed on to the Jewish people and numerous other peoples.

Chief among the cause of the Inquisition was the envy and hatred of the Jews in Spain. Anti-Semitism started in Spain for many reasons. First, Jews had become prominent in their communities and were very wealthy. Also, the Moorish rulers extended welcomes to them that ordinary Spaniards never saw. In addition, the Jews were known to practice usury, and that helped to spark the Inquisition.”
