The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome

Hoffman's book smashes through the lie that Roman Catholicism has always been this bastion of orthodoxy, and instead brings forth a very well researched, well referenced tome that points out just how deeply it changed starting in the Renaissance into a church supporting usury,syncretism and occultism. It shows clearly that Vatican II was simply a continuation of the apostasy of the Renaissance era, and that men like John Paul II,Benedict XVI and Francis stand firmly in the place of their occult,Talmudic predecessors like Leo X. Fascinating and enlightening read and one more nail in the coffin of Catholicism.

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.

This is more than just a bombshell of a book- it is a Megaton Nuclear Missile! As a Christian, raised pre-Vat. II RC, married to a former Lutheran, we (who are both now Orthodox) can vouch for everything that has transpired in this analysis, via what Michael Hoffman has done in this book: his goal, by the way, is not to destroy the Church, but to strip off the mask of deceit, duplicity, and centuries of lies and accretions that not only re-affirm the Reformer's righteous charges against the Papacy (in this, the 500th year since the Protestant Reformation), but also clearly points to the very guilty parties, who have {always} been at the forefront of the destruction of both Catholicism since at least the 15th Century, and the Evangelical Churches, since at least the 18th. They are ALL guilty, and they ALL need cleansing and repentance. As a follow-up and synthesis of his earlier magisterial volume, "Usury in Christendom," Hoffman is brutally honest in this latest tome, within his own myopia. But then, he has to be honest: the guilty parties include too many theologians, kings, princes, electors, men of note like Erasmus, various Popes, Spurgeon, Belloc, Newman- you name it, he connects all the 'links and ties' that have to be there to explain the evil in the world today in all our Western institutions, and lays it at the feet of the Cross. Unlike the days of Luther (who was a fervent Roman Catholic, we must always remember) today's 'heretics' are not burned at the stake, or guillotined. They are merely social media-ed to silence (=death) and damned with faint praise, while online retailers strangle such authors by not carrying 'invective material,' while at the same time hawking Satanic Bibles, Talmudic tomes, and New Age claptrap... just like (coincidentally?) what happened in the age of Pfefferkorn and Savonarola. A short review here cannot even begin to convey the importance and vital need for any pastor, theologian, or intelligent layman to procure and read (mark, learn, and inwardly digest) this book. Warning: this tome of 650 pages of text, is not easy. The revulsion that will follow upon reading any of this text, is that we all (WE ALL) have been lied to, obfuscated with, and treated like illiterate 'cattle,' while the Cryptocracy continues its version of the Inquisition (or Ping-Pong Pizzagate) have often made me have to set this book down, after only about 10 pages at a time. But it needs- no, MUST- be read in its totality, if you are to grasp the milieu of evil, the cabal of kabbalists that most recently misjudged gravely their hold over us, by losing the last election to DT. Before the door shuts on Truth, if that word means anything [John 17:7] get and read this book. Then act as if your very soul depended on spreading the Truth contained therein... because it does.

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 Understanding the 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.

I hated this book for the first 50 pages because it contains such bitter answers. Now that I have read it carefully, I understand many things that are happening because of this 'history' in the Roman Church. It is said that when 'we' persist in left-hand turns away from God, He will finally withdraw and let us reap the fruit of our own choices. That pretty much sums up the current state of affairs for today's Christian churches because, as goes Rome, so goes Christianity. A sour truth today which Hoffman brilliantly details and lays bare. This is a must have for any cultural researcher whether you are working within the Christian or secular community as the Roman reach is everywhere being manifest.

In one of my classes for technicians some years ago we were taught "There is always a reason." Knowing that something is wrong is obviously not the same thing as knowing precisely what is wrong. If I said "we have not had a reliable car since we started to drive Flivers, but there is nothing wrong with Flivers," that is parallel to saying the Church has been down the tubes since Vatican II but there is nothing wrong with Vatican II. This is the argument of many professional complainers who make careers out of complaining, extenuating and mitigating but never expose the full and original cause. When a boil finally comes to head and bursts, spewing its infectious contents about, the process did not start and end in a short period of time. Some foreign substance entered into a pore and was never removed by washing it away. There and then the process began leading to a long period of festering. What was the foreign substance, the foreign ideology, placed deep within and never fully cleansed away? When did it start? When the author endeavors to find and disclose the cause I find commentary on his style or tone secondary to the facts. Of course people who choose to believe the pope outranks God might take offense. I did not. I'd buy it, read it, and give as gifts again.

This is a very good book for deep thinkers who want to get to grips with the dark side of the Vatican. Excellently researched and it is hard to put down. It is disturbing knowing that the Vatican is so evil.

Hoffman has written the absolute truth about the Catholic Church. It should be read by anybody interested in church history. Sadly he misses the point. Catholics did not wake up one morning and find that the church had been hijacked. For hundreds of years they knew that something bad was happening and allowed it to continue out of greed, fear or laziness. I lived through Vatican II and most Catholics acted like sheep. I left the church and although I still believe in Christ I do not believe in the divniity of the scriptures. The Church deserves to become extinct and Christ would be the first to concede this. But sadly Hoffman has fallen into the trap of becoming like those he perceives to be the Church's enemies. No true Christian could be so hateful to their enemies and for me this bitterness detracted from the message of the 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.

Excelente trabajo de investigación. Y el libro llegó antes de lo esperado.

Hoffman has a lot to offer in terms of his capacity to do serious historical research but is labouring under a very serious degree of cognitive dissonance. Occult Renaissance Church of Rome attempts to put forward the idea that during the 14th and 15th centuries an insidious pagan/platonic strand of ancient thought began to permeate Rome and influence the various enlightenment movements that came after. The research backing up that argument is robust and convincing but the startlingly obvious point he routinely misses is that Christianity right from the outset adhered to the teachings of the 'Perennial Philosophy'. If those rogue, Medici-funded scholars did anything it was uncover the real teaching, not obscure some water-tight truth that orthodoxy had previously established. Rome was a basket-case of a church right from the outset - the Orthodox Church calls it the fraudulent manuscript factory for a reason! From the Donation of Constantine to the various disagreements at the earliest councils, long before the Renaissance, nothing but political might solidified this church - not truth. He suggests the church deviated from the strict orthodoxy of Aquinas and Albert the Great and yet both men were heavily involved in Alchemical lore and sourced much of their wisdom from those sources (See: The Mystery of Union with God: Dionysian Mysticism in Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas ) Several treatises on alchemy are attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas. He even questioned whether gold produced by alchemy could be sold as real gold, and decided that it could (Summa Theologiæ II-II.77.2). Hoffman critiques the idea of “hidden knowledge” as not in keeping with Christ’s teaching - that there was an inner circle of Renaissance initiates who were privy to the real, kabbalistic knowledge embedded within Christianty - but fails to see that very same structure within the gospels! “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” Wisdom teaching has always been transmitted in this manner and Jesus with his disciples was no different. Truth wrapped up in allegory or a veiled language - mustard seeds, fig trees, vine branches, sprigs from the tops of the cedar etc. The literal minded see members of the material world - seeds and twigs - the initiate sees an entire world of wisdom. Elitism in knowledge does not necessarily equate with arrogance, however, as Hoffman routinely implies. It is more a duty of care - one should not cast pearls before swine (h/t Jesus Christ) The simple truth to anyone who's actually studied sacred geometry and the foundational aspects of the Precessional philosophy is that whomever wrote the gospel narratives were well-schooled in that hidden language. Does Hoffman really believe the disciples caught 153 fish 200 cubits from the shore? That's a remarkably accurate account of the event given the general lack of precision with the rest of the gospel narrative. St. John's description of the New Jerusalem in Revelation - 12000 furlongs, 144 cubits etc. - when understood leaves one in no doubt as to what school of thought St. John belonged. Hoffman is a curious mix. A mind that on the surface appears endlessly flexible and intellectually curious and who seeks to unpick some of the most fascinating alternative histories and "conspiracy theories" going but underneath it all never quite shakes the emotional grounding of that infantile, Bible-thumping upbringing. Anything occult is deemed bad with the same knee-jerk appraisal as a deranged medieval peasant and anything which pertains to that unthinking, 50s Protestant "Bible teaching is good m'kay" culture is automatically good. He is a wealth of information but none of that information appears to have shaped or changed what appears to be an immovable, dogmatic mindset. If you can separate the unscholarly bias from the actual treasure of information then I would recommend this book.

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