PART 12: Antichrists revealed by Jesus Christ – The making of Images by the Antichrist

The Papacy instituted All Souls’ Day

This the day dedicated to honour all the dead people in the Roman Catholic Churches What they called Purgatory

Below, the false doctrines of the antichrists

The blessing, which takes place at midday or when he touring days on Sunday, is one of the most cherished traditions of the Catholic church, and this was one of Benedict’s last opportunities to connect with the masses.

His voice was strong and clear as he looked into hazy sunshine over the square and addressed at least 50,000 pilgrims in Italian, English, French, German, Polish and Spanish.

Benedict made no direct reference to his decision to step down, but in his Spanish comments he asked the crowd to “continue praying for me and for the next pope”.

He thanked the crowd for their “affection and spiritual closeness” and gave particular thanks to the “beloved inhabitants of the city of Rome”, a possible hint at the title he will take after retirement. The Vatican has suggested he may be called the emeritus bishop of Rome.

The Angelus blessing normally attracts a few thousand pilgrims and tourists, but city officials prepared for a crush of people seeking to witness a moment of history.

“We wanted to wish him well,” said Amy Champion, a tourist from Wales. “It takes a lot of guts to take the job and even more guts … to quit.”

Rome put on extra buses and underground trains to help deal with the crowds and offered free shuttle vans for elderly and disabled people.

After Sunday evening the pope will be out of the public eye for a week. A meditation service at the Vatican marks the beginning of the traditional Lenten period of reflection and prayer.

While cardinals elect his successor next month in a conclave in the Sistine Chapel, Benedict will be in retreat at the Holy See’s summer estate in the hills south-east of Rome. After several weeks he is expected to move into a monastery being refurbished for him behind the Vatican City walls, where he will lead a largely cloistered life.

The Vatican has not announced a date for the start of the conclave but said on Saturday that it might start sooner than 15 March, the earliest date it can be launched under current rules. Benedict would have to sign off on any earlier date, an act that would be one of the last of his nearly eight-year papacy.

The first cardinals have started arriving in Rome to begin a period of intense politicking to decide who are the leading candidates to be the next pope. The Guinea-born archbishop Robert Sarah, a cardinal who leads the Vatican’s charity office, told reporters when he arrived that the churchmen should select their new leader with “serenity and trust”.

Pope Francis used Sunday’s (August 26) homily in Dublin’s Phoenix Park to ask for the Church to be forgiven for “abuses in Ireland” conducted by members of the clergy.

An organiser of Sunday’s papal Mass in the Phoenix Park has estimated that 200,000 people attended the Dublin event, based on the amount of communion used. 

Fr Damian McNeice said on Monday that the figure was an anecdotal “guesstimate” and that he had “no idea” of the actual number.

Dr Patrick Plunkett, the medical director of the site’s field hospital, said on Sunday that he believed 130,000 people had attended the Mass. Some 500,000 people were expected in the Phoenix Park Mass but the actual turnout on the day was significantly smaller. The Vatican had estimated the attendance at 300,000.

Asked on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland to comment on the numbers in attendance, Fr McNeice said the crowd was “way beyond my expectations”. 

“I couldn’t believe the number of people that actually turned up yesterday” he said, citing the poor weather and heavy rain as reasons for people to stay home.

Fr McNeice said his estimation of 200,000 was based on the 370,000 communion hosts prepared for holy communion at the Mass, saying that more than half had been used during the event.

The environments team were tasked with texturing all of these well-known locations using digital matte painting techniques including re-creating Michelangelo’s masterpiece on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

The story centres around two key changes of Pope in 2005 and 2013, events which attracted huge attention, filling St Peter’s Square with devotees eager to discover the identity of the new Pope and celebrate their ascension.  News crews from around the world also camp out to provide coverage for the billions of Catholics all over the world. To recreate these scenes the crew shot at a school in Rome (Ponte Mammolo) that has the same pattern on its floor. A cast of 300 extras were shot in blocks in different positions at different times of day, with costume tweaks including the addition of umbrellas to build a library to provide enough flexibility during postproduction to recreate these pivotal moments at different times of day and in different weather conditions.

Union also used Clear Angle to individually scan 50 extras to provide additional options for the VFX team.

This was an ambitious crowd project.  We couldn’t shoot in the location and the end result had to stand up at 4K in very close proximity to the camera.

While working on the film, Union designed a Houdini based system to cope with the unprecedented number of assets and their clothing in a way that the team could easily art direct them as individuals, allow the Director to choreograph them and deliver a believable result.

Several motion capture shoots were conducted in house at Union to provide some specific animation cycles that married with the occasions the team were recreating.  This provided even more flexibility to the team during postproduction resulting authentic looking crowds.

Union worked on a total of 288 VFX shots including green screens, set extensions, window reflections, muzzle flashes, fog and rain and a storm that included a lightning strike on the Basilica.

Vatican City

Alternate titles: State of the Vatican City, Stato della Città del Vatic

Vatican City, in full State of the Vatican City, Italian Stato della Città del Vaticano, ecclesiastical state, seat of the Roman Catholic Church, and an enclave in Rome, situated on the west bank of the Tiber River. Vatican City is the world’s smallest fully independent nation-state. Its medieval and Renaissance walls form its boundaries except on the southeast at St. Peter’s Square (Piazza San Pietro). Of the six entrances, only three—the piazza, the Arco delle Campane (Arch of the Bells) in the facade of St. Peter’s Basilica, and the entrance to the Vatican Museums and Galleries in the north wall—are open to the public. The most imposing building is St. Peter’s Basilica, built during the 4th century and rebuilt during the 16th century. Erected over the tomb of St. Peter the Apostle, it is the second largest religious building (after Yamoussoukro Basilica) in Christendom.

The Vatican palace is the residence of the pope within the city walls. The Holy See is the name given to the government of the Roman Catholic Church, which is led by the pope as the bishop of Rome. As such, the Holy See’s authority extends over Catholics throughout the world. Since 1929 it has resided in Vatican City, which was established as an independent state to enable the pope to exercise his universal authority.

Vatican City: St. Peter’s Basilica

St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City.

Vatican City has its own telephone system, post office, gardens, astronomical observatory, radio station, banking system, and pharmacy, as well as a contingent of Swiss Guards responsible for the personal safety of the pope since 1506. Almost all supplies—including food, water, electricity, and gas—must be imported. There is no income taxand no restriction on the import or export of funds. As the Holy See, it derives its income from the voluntary contributions of more than one billion Roman Catholics worldwide, as well as interest on investments and the sale of stamps, coins, and publications. Banking operations and expenditures have been reported publicly since the early 1980s.

During the period from the 4th century to 1870, the Vatican gained control of territory around Rome and served as capital of the Papal States. In 1929 Vatican City’s independent sovereignty was recognized by the Fascist Italian government in the Lateran Treaty. Sovereignty is exercised by the pope upon his election as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. He has absolute executive, legislative, and judicial powers within the city. In 1984 a major reshuffle of offices in the Roman Curiaresulted in the delegation of the routine administration of Vatican City to a pontifically appointed commission of five cardinals headed by the Secretariat of State. The inhabitants of Vatican City, the majority of whom are priests and nuns, also include several hundred laypersons engaged in secretarial, domestic, trade, and service occupations.

Vatican cultural life has much declined since the Renaissance, when the popes were among Italy’s foremost patrons of the arts. The Vatican Museums and Galleries, the frescoes by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, the frescoes by Pinturicchio in the Borgia Apartment, and Raphael’s Stanze (“Rooms”) nevertheless attract critics, artists, and flocks of tourists from throughout the world. Years of restoration work on the Sistine Chapel frescoes were completed in 1994, making it possible to view Michelangelo’s work in full vibrant colours. In 2000 the millennial Jubilee focused world attention on Vatican City.

The Vatican Apostolic Librarycontains a priceless collection of some 150,000 manuscripts and 1.6 million printed books, many from pre-Christian and early Christian times. The Vatican publishes its own influential daily newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, and its press can print books and pamphlets in any of 30 languages, from old Ecclesiastical Georgian to Indian Tamil. Since 1983 the Vatican has produced its own television programming. Its radio broadcasts are heard in some 40 languages in many parts of the world. Vatican City was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.

The Papacy is the head of the Roman Catholic Churches all over the world.

The Papacy is infallible and he prays over the large crouds from the window

Popes John, John Paul Canonized in Rome Spectacle

The crowd gathered on St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican for the dual canonization ceremony on April 27.        

Pope Francis has declared John XXIII and John Paul II saints in the first-ever dual canonization.

Pope Francis and his predecessor, Benedict XVI, presided over the April 27 ceremony at the Vatican to recognize two of the most charismatic modern leaders of the Catholic Church as saints.

“After due deliberation and frequent prayer for divine assistance and having sought the counsel of many of our brother bishops, we declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II saints and we enroll them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole church,” Pope Benedict told the crowd.

The mass took place at St. Peter’s Square and was being attended by some 150 cardinals and 1,000 bishops. 

As many as 1 million people were expected to pack the square and nearby streets of Rome to witness the televised event.

John Paul II was born in Poland as Karol Wojtyla and widely credited for contributing to the collapse of communism during his 1978-2005 papacy.

John XXIII, born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli in Italy, became known as “Good Pope John” while he led the Vatican in 1958-63.

He twisted, added, taking away from the words of God in the bible, also in the epistles of the apostles especially the books of Galatians, Colossians and the Romans, where the reverend fathers who interpreted the bible did. It takes the Holy Spirit of God Almighty to know how this.

He has been worshipped and reverenced, adored and almost the whole world follows him wherever he goes, and all dignitaries kisses his ring as a special blessing to them.
