COCK-A-DOODLE-DO....IN 850 AD, POPE LEO IV ORDERED THAT ROOSTERS BE PLACED
ON THE TOP OF ALL CATHOLIC STONE CHURCHES AS VISUAL AIDS TO REMIND
CATHOLICS TO FOLLOW SIMON PETER'S EXAMPLE AND DENY CHRIST!

That pontiff—and all his successors—were determined that all Catholics would "go and do likewise" by converting to Islam (St. Matthew 26:34, St. Mark 14:30, St. Luke 22:34, St. John 13:38).

Remarkably, even though he was succeeded by Pope Joan, Leo chose a COCK over a HEN as his visual aid!

According to the Papal Passion Week timetable, Peter denied Christ 3 times on GOOD FRIDAY—the Muslim pseudo-Sabbath or "holy" day!

Arsonists recently set fire to the centuries-old Notre Dame Cathedral. A rooster (cock) sat on top of a weather vane on one of the spires.


The rooster on the spire was a
visual aid to remind Catholics
to deny Christ!
 

In August 1944, Dietrich von Choltitz was military governor of Nazi occupied Paris.

Hitler demanded that he burn the city, and in a rage he screamed, "Brennt Paris?" ("Is Paris burning?").

The answer Von Choltotz gave to the infuriated Führer was "NEIN."

It is no coincidence that Paris is now burning on the 130th anniversary of the birth of the monster!!

Pope Gregory I (540–604) was the first pontiff to recommend adopting the rooster as a proper symbol of his version of "Christianity."


Pope Leo IV.
Pontiff from 847 to 855.

Pope Leo had a cock placed on top of the Old St. Peter's Basilica to commemorate Peter denying Christ 3 times!

Then he ordered that cocks be placed on all Catholic churches!

The pontiff was "praying" that Catholics would also deny Christ by converting to Islam!

Construction of the Basilica, built over the historical site of the Circus of Nero, began during the reign of Emperor Jesus Constantine. The name "Old St. Peter's Basilica" has been used since the construction of the current Basilica to distinguish the two buildings.


Pope Joan VII.
Reigned from 855 to 857.
 

Pope Joan was elected to the Papacy in the year 855 under the name John VII.

She reigned for 2 years until her disguise was blown when she gave birth during a procession.

The birth of her baby was considered "miraculous" because Vatican officials told the people that she did not have a male lover!

Saint Martin Luther, in his Table Talk, states that he saw a commemorative statue of Pope Joan when he visited Roma in 1510:

In Roma, in a public square, there is a stone monument to commemorate the pope who was really a woman and gave birth to a child on that very spot. I have seen the stone myself, and I find it astonishing that the popes permit it to exist. (Luther, Table Talk, p.133).

It wasn't until after the blessed Reformation that Pope Joan was consigned to oblivion!

As the cock crowing announces the dawn, so the Messiah used that fowl as a symbol of his Second Coming, and the end of the world:

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning: lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, WATCH (St. Mark 13:35-37).
