Chapter 16  
     
1.
The following outlines the formal heresies (deliberate doctrinal errors) of the Roman Catholic Church concerning the beliefs of Jesus, his apostles and the first church concerning Apostolic Succession:
 
2.
That the Christian church was never formed by Jesus, nor any of his apostles.
 
3.
That the Christian church was formed by the sworn enemies of Jesus being the Jewish High Priests of the family of Ananus. Therefore, the Christian church has never had apostolic succession from the very beginning.
 
4.
That the claim that St. Peter was the first bishop of Rome is a deliberate lie known by senior Catholics from the very beginning. Instead, St. Peter was a zealot leader during the siege of Jerusalem, captured prior to its downfall and brought to Rome to be executed.
 
5.
St. Paul (Paul of Tarsus) never had legitimate apostolic succession and so all appointments, anointments, blessings and acts by each and every Catholic Bishop for the last two thousand years are null and void, for they are completely and wholly without spiritual authority, nor credibility.
 
6.
That even in regards to claiming a consistent line of succession, after Linus of Rome was executed around 65 CE, a gap of nearly 100 years exists before any credible Christian leader can then claim to be a Bishop of Rome.
 
7.
In addition, there are numerous breaks in the lines of succession of Popes of Rome, including antipopes.
 
8.
That the first ecumenical councils of Christianity never counted Rome as the preeminent authority and in fact the Bishop of Constantinople was considered the Supreme Pontiff from 250 CE to around 550-60 CE.
 
9.
That the Popes of Rome and the official clergy of the Vatican have always known that claims of Apostelic Succession of the Roman Catholic Church are unsustainable.
 
10.
In response, however they have created complete ficticious Popes after “St. Peter” including alleged remains and have sought to explain away every break and every competing Pope by not mentioning them.
 
11.
Furthermore, the Vatican maintains that the authority of Constantinople never existed and that somehow “magically”, the lack of Roman delegations at many of the first ecumenical councils of Christianity did not mean the Pope of Rome was not in charge.
 
12.
Given that apostolic succession of the Roman Popes is unsustainable on so many levels, all claimed spiritual authority, all blessings and alleged powers of the Pope are a complete fraud and rendered null.
 
13.
The only authority that the Pope of Rome retains is that of a despot, a dictator, the Boss of the largest criminal enterprise in the world, that still is in control of multiple billions of dollars of wealth stolen over centuries from innocent people, nations and leaders.
 
14.
Absolutely no act by a Roman Pontiff carries any spiritual weight, nor spiritual authority nor legitimacy whatsoever.
