The Council of Trent was a Goliath-like challenge against David (Saint Martin Luther) and his blessed Reformation. Here is the dogmatic statement on marriage:

Those who shall attempt to contract marriage otherwise than in the presence of the parish priest, or of some other priest by permission of the said parish priest, or of the Ordinary, and in the presence of two or three witnesses; the holy Synod renders such wholly incapable of thus contracting and declares such contracts invalid and null, as by the present decree. It invalidates and annuls them. (Council of Trent, Twenty-fourth Session, Chapter I).

In 1962, at the opening of Vatican II in Rome, Pope John XXIII affirmed:

I do accept entirely all that has been decided and declared at the Council of Trent.

According to their twisted logic, President Kennedy was the only U.S. President to be legally married!!

Following hard on the heels of the legalization of perverted marriages in Papal Ireland, 9 Canon Law "judges" in the U.S. also approved Adam and Steve marriages.

According to the Holy Bible, it takes about 40 years for the grapes of wrath of a strong Papal conspiracy to fully ripen:

Now it came to pass after forty years that Absalom said to the king, “please, let me go to Hebron and pay the vow which I made to JEHOVAH. For your servant took a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If JEHOVAH indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve JEHOVAH'" (II Samuel 15:7).

It has taken the Papal Church 40 years to pack the Supreme Court of the United States of Israel. During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt tried to do it instantly . . . but he ended up a miserable failure.

The 9 Canon Law Supreme Court "justices."

Only 5 of the Canon Law "justices" had the courage to officially legalize Adam and Steve marriages. All 9 received HUGE BRIBES because it was a concerted effort of all the Canon Law "justices."

The 5 who were not ashamed to lend their names to perverted marriages.

Any "law" passed in the U.S. under the influence of bribery is null and void!! It is incumbent upon genuine U.S. Supreme Court justices that they be familiar with the U.S. Constitution. There are only 2 crimes mentioned in the Constitution: TREASON and BRIBERY:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. (U.S. Constitution Article II, Section 4).

And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right (Exodus 23:8).

Auditing the Canon Law "justices" bank accounts before and after is fruitless because the money was transferred from the Vatican Bank to their Swiss accounts by the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) in Zurich, Switzerland. The true amount of the bribes will not be known until the Day of Judgment.

The Council of Trent defines marriage as one man and one woman!!

All Papal lawyers are required to be thoroughly familiar with the Code of Canon Law or Codex Juris Canonici. Most of it is still locked up in medieval Latin, and for the eyes of the hierarchy only.

However, most of the laws concerning marriage are summed up in the dogmatic Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent:

The first parent of the human race, under the influence of the divine Spirit, pronounced the bond of matrimony perpetual and indissoluble, when he said; This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh. But, that by this bond two only are united and joined together, our Lord taught more plainly, when rehearsing those last words as having been uttered by God, He said, therefore now they are not two, but one flesh; and straightway confirmed the firmness of that tie, proclaimed so long before by Adam, by these words; What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. (Council of Trent, Twenty-fourth Session).

Additionally, Papal teaching concerning marriage is found in the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX:

65. The doctrine that Christ has raised marriage to the dignity of a sacrament cannot be at all tolerated. –Apostolic Letter "Ad Apostolicae," Aug. 22, 1851. (Condemned as error).

These 2 documents: the Cannons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, and the Syllabus of Errors elevate marriage to a SACREMENT and divorce is strictly prohibited.

The question must then be asked: why are the Papal judges overthrowing everything that their church holds sacred? The answer can be found in the history of England during the reign of King Henry VIII.

The pre-Reformation Vatican had a complete monopoly on marriages!!

Prior to the blessed Reformation in Western Europe, the Papal Church had a total monopoly on marriages. Marriage was considered a SACRAMENT, which could only be performed by a priest.

King Henry VIII (1491–1547). King from 1509 to 1547.

The Vatican had a total monopoly on marriages before the blessed Reformation in England. Divorce was forbidden, but marriages could be annulled for a substantial fee. This trafficking in marriages was a major financial asset for the Vatican.

Catherine of Aragon (1485–1536). Queen from 1509 to 1533.

Annulments were a tremendous cash cow for the Vatican. Couples could be married for 40 years, but for a substantial fee they could obtain an annulment of the marriage.

In early spring 1527, King Henry loaded up his flagship, the Mary Rose, with a huge fortune in gold. The king was very anxious to marry Anne Boleyn and obtain a male heir to the throne.

Henry's flagship, the Mary Rose.

In early spring 1527, King Henry loaded the Mary Rose with a vast fortune in gold as the price for the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Just as the gold reached Rome, Emperor Charles ordered his troops to invade the city and take the Pope prisoner.

The Sack of Rome in May 1527.

The city of Rome suffered terribly, as the Imperialists ran amuck for weeks, killing the men and raping the women. Pope Clement VII narrowly escaped with his life by fleeing and hiding in the Castel Sant'Angelo. When Clement finally surrendered to Emperor Charles, he was allowed to live, but only under the condition that he would not grant Henry a divorce or annulment of his marriage. It was during that time that the Swiss Guard gained fame as the defenders of the Papacy.

King Henry circa 1537.

When Henry found out that all of the gold was in the hands of Emperor Charles . . . he was furious! In 1533, he finally married his sweetheart, the virtuous and Christian Anne Boleyn. To recoup the Crown's lost gold, he ordered the corrupt monasteries demolished and confiscated their vast wealth.

Queen Anne Boleyn (1501-1536). Queen from 1533-1536.

The king ordered an investigation of the monasteries, and he found out that the monks were not guilty of the 7 deadly sins . . . but 700,000 deadly sins....The king ended the trafficking in marriages when he made it a crime to apply to Rome for a divorce. At that time, all communication with Rome should have ceased forever, but during the research into the "King's Great Matter" it was discovered that Emperor Constantine was born in York, England.

In 1533, Britannia was first declared an Empire when King Henry VIII found out that Emperor Constantine was British:

Where by divers sundry old authentic histories and chronicles it is manifestly declared and expressed that this realm of England is (was) an empire, and so hath been accepted in the world, governed by one supreme head and king having the dignity and royal estate of the imperial crown of the same. (Act in Restraint of Appeals, 1533).

This was the genesis of the British Empire, as King Henry made himself a "Pope" in Britain, and totally outlawed Roman Canon Law in his kingdom.

Saint Martin Luther demolished marriage as a SACRAMENT!!

In his marvelous tome, On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, Saint Martin Luther reduced Rome's 7 sacraments to 2: baptism and the Lord Supper or Communion.

Saint Martin Luther (1483–1546).

King Henry's main aim was to obtain a divorce in order to marry a woman who would give him a male heir to the throne. Saint Martin Luther's main aim was to prove that nowhere is marriage called a SACRAMENT in Holy Scripture. Only in the corrupt Latin Vulgate Version is marriage called a SACRAMENT.

Cover of the book On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church.

Here is the Council of Trent's answer to the Babylonian Captivity:

CANON I.-If any one saith, that matrimony is not truly and properly one of the seven sacraments of the evangelic law, (a sacrament) instituted by Christ the Lord; but that it has been invented by men in the Church; and that it does not confer grace; let him be anathema. (Council of Trent, Twenty-fourth Session).

The Council of Trent dogmatically decreed that the Latin Vulgate Version was the only translation allowed. The Douay-Rheims Version is an authorized translation of that version into English:

That version calls marriage a SACRAMENT while Saint Paul calls it a MYSTERY of the union of Christ and his Church:

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh. This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church (Ephesians 5:32, Douay-Rheims Version).

Here is that same verse from the Orthodox New Testament:

Because of this shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be into one flesh. This mystery is great but I speak in regard to Christ and in regard to the Church (Ephesians 5:32, Greek Orthodox New Testament).

The Council of Trent condemns every marriage not performed by a PRIEST:

Those who shall attempt to contract marriage otherwise than in the presence of the parish priest, or of some other priest by permission of the said parish priest, or of the Ordinary, and in the presence of two or three witnesses; the holy Synod renders such wholly incapable of thus contracting and declares such contracts invalid and null, as by the present decree. It invalidates and annuls them. (Council of Trent, Twenty-fourth Session, Chapter I).

That decree makes fornicators of most of the married couples in the world and illegitimizes their children....Unfortunately for the canon lawyers, there are no priests in true Christianity to marry anybody:

And when they had ordained to them priests (Lat. sacerdos) in every church and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed (Acts 14:23, Douay-Rheims Version).

Here is that same verse in the Greek Orthodox New Testament:

And after they ordained presbyters for them in every church, and prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Lord on Whom they believed (Acts 14:23, Orthodox New Testament).

The Papal "judges" want to replace U.S. law with Latin Church Canon Law!!

A real Jewish Prophet named Daniel predicted that Satan would try to destroy revived Israel just before the end of time:

And he (Antichrist) shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him (Daniel 11: 45).

The ultimate goal of the 9 Papal "judges" is to replace the United States of Israel Constitution with the Cannons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, and the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX.

More ominously, 3 of the judges: Ginsburg, Kagan, and Sotomayor are females and potential Bloody Mary Tudors, Catherine de' Medicis, and Empress Tzu Hsis.

The Exodus from Egyptian bondage is a marvelous type of Armageddon and the end of the world. When the Egyptians were pursuing the children of Israel at the Red Sea, JEHOVAH sent his MECHANIC-ANGELS to pull off the wheels of their chariots–in order to slow them down:

And it came to pass, that in the morning watch that JEHOVAH looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, and took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, "let us flee from the face of Israel; for JEHOVAH fighteth for them against the Egyptians" (Exodus:14:24-25).

In these last days . . . we cannot stop . . . but only slow down . . . Pharaoh's last mad charge . . . so all true Christians should become Samsons and MECHANICS for CHRIST!!
