International Public Notice: The Demonic Crowns

 By Anna Von Reitz

Ever wonder where "crowns" came from, and why we are currently engaged in a struggle with "the British Crown"?  

Go back to the Roman Catholic Church --- not the Catholic Church, which simply means all churches devoted to Yeshuah's teachings -- no, specifically, the Roman Catholic Church allied with Rome, the City, and its Government.  

This is a very important distinction between apples and oranges, or more like apples and beef jerky. 

It is the Roman Catholic Church that developed the whole narrative of Peter, the Disciple, being the Bishop of Rome, and the Pope inheriting Peter's authority granted to him by Yeshuah.  

It's the Roman Catholic Church in the person of Pope Boniface VIII that created the Unam Sanctam Trust, and from the Unam Sanctam Trust, the Roman Church developed the whole concept of "spheres of law" known as jurisdictions that mirror the natural world: Land, Air, and Water = LAW.  

They also developed the system of Feudal Monarchy to rule over and help administer this floor to ceiling all-encompassing trust property that they claimed "for" Yeshuah, and conveniently, put themselves in charge of as middlemen.  

This is how and why the Popes started handing out "crowns" and conducting "coronations" throughout Europe.  These ceremonies were designed to elevate the recipients of these crowns to a position of "secular holiness" (yet another oxymoron) and establish their authority and Church-approved right to rule over the populations of their respective countries.  

This is where the entire "divine right of kings" concept comes from, and far from some evil notion that individual kings or queens promoted, it is the logical outcome of the entire practice of the Roman world's chief holy man, the Pope, giving out these crowns in the first place. 

The authority of the kings and queens (and their nice little head cap) came from the Pope and the Pope was considered divine, so, there's your origin of the "divine right" of kings.  

At the same time that the Pope (or his representative, say, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is supposed to be Protestant, but isn't thanks to King Henry VIII) settled his crown on the royal noggins, he also gifted his faithful "secular stewards" with other "tokens" ---- a scepter, and and orb.  

The scepter symbolizes rule over the sea jurisdiction allotted to each country, and the orb symbolizes rule over the air jurisdiction of each country.  Thus, these secular minions of the Pope acquired a full slice of dominion over land, air, and water -- and the Pope gained control over the kings and queens via their coronation vows and their acceptance of his crown, scepter, and orb.  

It was a great way to get secular muscle to implement sacred orders, and also grease the wheels for endless high level business deals between the "kingdoms" thus created, and the Roman Catholic Church that, in a de facto sense, owned all these kingdoms through the kings and queens acting as secular proxies. 

You can observe all this history directly, though nobody discusses it and nobody teaches it in school.  I just observed it for you, and now that you have seen it, you can't unsee it. 

Along with this organizational framework the feudal system reached down below the level of the kings and queens to the lesser nobility and the common people via a system of "pledging".  

The nobles pledged their loyalty, service, and material goods to the king, the common people also pledged their loyalty, service, and material goods to the king and accepted the authority of his representatives, the nobles --- and at the end of the day, the king had already pledged his loyalty, service, and material goods to the Pope. 

Thus, everything under the pledging system in Europe was nicely tied up, wrapped, and delivered to the Pope who ruled as the absolute Ruler (along with the Roman Curia) of the known world.  

The land jurisdiction was primary and the basis by which dominion over the associated sea and air space was acquired: if you got the crown, you got the rest of it, too.  

Each jurisdiction in this system has its own form of government.  Land resulted in kingdoms.  Sea resulted in monarchies.  Air resulted in empires. 

Each form of government has its own associated form of law, so, we have Law of the Land, Law of the Sea, and less famously, Law of the Air -- Secular and Canon.  

Over time, people being what they are, separate crowns were developed for each jurisdiction, and separate scepters and orbs, too. 
The crown, scepter and orb of the British Monarch (sea jurisdiction) are separate from the crown, scepter, and orb of the English King, and again, separate from the crown, scepter, and orb of "His Imperial Majesty" --- another title for "Emperor" acting in the air jurisdiction. 

If we were to see "King Charles, the Third" in his full regalia as "His Britannic Majesty" it would be a fearsome sight.  He would be wearing a twisted crown encrusted with jewels and forms of sea creatures, he would carry a trident-shaped scepter, and his orb would show the seas risen in bas relief above the land masses of the Earth.  His robes would be very dark blue and black -- and there would be no doubt that this was a "demonic crown".  

Why would the Sea Crown be "demonic"?  

Because Satan was cast down into the Sea.  This is the basis of Satan's dominion over the Earth, his home turf, the only environment dark enough, slippery enough, to hide his deceptions and cover his lies and deceits. 

Obviously, one man, the Pope, couldn't personally oversee the entire world and all the jurisdictions of air, land, and sea, so the Pope privately chose among his loyal Archbishops two Helpers, euphemistically called the "Grey Pope" and the "Black Pope" to ride herd on two of the three jurisdictions for him--- and with respect to secular and material business affairs, the Roman Curia and various "Societies" were created as advisory and administrative bodies to do the actual work and report to the Pope as a bureaucracy.  

The Roman Curia is the central governing body of the Roman Catholic Church.  It functions under an ecclesiastical constitution known as the Praedicate Evangelium.  

Today, the old congregations and pontifical councils have been dissolved into departments called "Dicasteries" -- a change that focuses on functions, like "the Dicastery for Communication", and further consolidates power in Rome, even though Lay persons and even women are now allowed to head Dicasteries, another change that ends a thousand years during which only Bishops could lead these organizational functions.  

It should go without saying, but somehow doesn't, that this particular Church's relationship with the City of Rome has continued unabated since the Council of Nicea --- and this obvious, yet rarely commented upon relationship, essentially bypasses the Government of Italy and creates an additional separate enclave of secular power that reaches back to ancient times.  

Thus, the Roman Catholic Church has its own version of Shadow Government and over time, this City of Rome Government,  has progressed in tandem with the growth of the Church, and most recently has been organized as what is popularly called, "the Empire of the Cities".  

All the cities we are familiar with, like the City of Washington, DC, are subsidiaries of the City of Rome corporation, which invested in and paid for the development of subsidiaries.  

Ever wonder where the exhausted and impoverished former colonies got the money to hire Pierre L'Enfant, the Freemason Architect of Washington, DC, much less pay for the grandiose actual development of the Federal capitol city with its wide paved boulevards, central planning, and Roman-style public buildings? 

Wonder no more. 

This development and investment opportunity had been planned for at least a century before, when a prior village located in the same area was named "Rome" and identified as the prospective site for a new city development which we now call "Washington, District of Columbia".  

The City of Rome was and still is a pagan entity and it has a pagan government with deep ties to the Roman Catholic Church -- but not the same religion, as demonstrated by the symbolism found throughout Washington, DC.  

Notice the Five-Pointed Stars everywhere, the "owl" created by the Mall development -- clearly visible from the air, the sun rays of the boulevards extending out from the city center, the five-sided star fort shape of the Pentagon, the Roman fasces symbol -- a bundle of sticks tied together, representing judicial and executive power, the huge phallic symbol of the Washington Monument that stands reflected in the chalice of the pool set before it.  

These are not Christian symbols. These are all pagan symbols of great antiquity, symbols so old that Ancient Rome inherited them. 

This City of Washington, District of Columbia, honors the ancient sun-worship religion of the Flavian Roman Emperors, and the District itself is named for Semiramis, aka, Ashtoreth, Astarte, Isis, Cybele, Sybil.... Columbia.  

So what happens when the Demonic Crown of His Britannic Majesty (sea jurisdiction) is mirrored to create the crown of His Imperial Majesty in the jurisdiction of the air?  Another demonic crown that appears to be the mirror image of the Sea Crown.  

You have to look sharp to tell the difference. 

And what happens when this air jurisdiction crown appearing to be a sea jurisdiction crown bumps up against the authorities of the City of Rome?  Then you have a Municipal Government spawned, and the creation of the Municipality of Washington, DC, defined as an "independent, international city-state".  

This results in the British Crown Corporation functioning at the same level as the City of Washington Corporation, and when they both spawn Roman Municipal Corporations to administer the respective air jurisdictions, you have "an Empire of the Cities".  Literally.

All of this is completely, utterly, wildly foreign to the American Government of this country, and reflects relationships, religions, and organizational patterns of the foreign Federal Government Subcontractors that are supposed to be here working under The Constitution of the United States of America and The Constitution of the United States, respectively.  

The Roman Catholic Church is unavoidably stuck in the middle of this conundrum, because our Postal Union Treaties are with the Roman Catholic Church, and the Roman Catholic Church is allied with the City of Rome.  

Read that: the Roman Catholic Church is partnered with the City of Rome Corporation, which is a Holding Company that owns the "independent" subsidiary known as the City of Washington, DC, which in turn, owns the Municipality of Washington, DC.  

None of this is ever explained to the American People -- that is, our State Citizens who are the Principals responsible for enforcement of the Constitutions and Parties to those venerable service agreements-- and most of it is not allowed by either The Constitution of the United States of America or The Constitution of the United States, either one.  

Thus, our Federal Subcontractors and their partners acting as their subcontractors, have been running rampant in Breach of Trust and violation of their "good faith service" obligations for over a hundred years, pretending that they don't know who we are or what they owe us.   

The Governments attached to the City of Washington, DC, and the Municipality of Washington, DC, are strictly limited by our Constitutions to the District of Columbia --- and the City of Washington, DC, is supposed to be controlled by the members of our American Federal Republic Congress, or, in their absence, by our Holding Company, the unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America. 

The development of a separate Municipality of Washington, DC, was not foreseen nor anticipated by our State Citizens when they adopted the Federal Constitutions, so, rebus sic stantibus, meaning, "as things stand" there is no basis for the presumption of any agreement to host any Municipal services or allow any Municipal corporation activities within the borders of the States of the Union.  

The British Subcontractors have gotten away with violating this contractual obligation by pretending that they are hiring the Municipal corporations to serve them and their "citizenry" and are trying to redefine this citizenry to include all the Americans via false registration of American babies as British Territorial U.S. Citizens who all just happen to use our Given Names without our knowledge or permission.  

The British Scheme, aided and abetted by their City of Rome counterparts, which we call The Great Fraud, is worthy of the Father of All Lies.  

They have misrepresented their Employers, the American People, as their employees. 

They have misrepresented an illegal mercenary conflict and called it The American Civil War -- and falsely invoked conventions of war to justify the collection of war reparations and allow their illegal mercenary occupation of our country for over 160 years. 

They have contrived to establish cities and municipalities in the States of the Union and used these foreign entities to replace unincorporated American Counties as "our" local government. 

They have established State Trusts to commandeer and control our land assets and used these "land trusts" that we never authorized as collateral assets for them to borrow against.  

They have set up a set of state-of-state organizations, one a British Crown Corporation and one a Roman Municipal CORPORATION, in each State of the Union to replace our American State of State organizations --- thus, instead of having one American entity called The State of Alaska, we have a British Territorial franchise  corporation calling itself the State of Alaska (Incorporated) and a Roman Municipal franchise calling itself the STATE OF ALASKA (INCORPORATED).  

They have, under conditions of deceit and non-disclosure, purloined false registrations of American babies as British Territorial U.S. Citizens, and sought to create foreign citizenship obligations for Americans using these unconscionable contracts. 

They have enforced these impersonations and unconscionable citizenship obligations using their own corporation's internal tribunals and their own officers as judge, jury, and executioners.  

The Roman Municipal Corporations organized as Municipalities and Boroughs have similarly created corporation franchises named after the victims of the British scam noted above and used similar practices to create and enforce bogus estate trust interests for these non-existent British Persons named after living Americans. 

The British Crown Corporation and the Roman Municipal Corporations have colluded together to disinherit, discredit, denigrate, and defraud their American employers and have used legal chicanery in the form of false registrations imposed on babies and undisclosed enrollments to do it -- all while owing these same people "good faith service".  

Americans have been progressively defrauded and disinherited by these ruffians in suits and robes: first, the American baby is targeted and deliberately misidentified as a British Territorial U.S. Citizen and his or hers -- American birthright estate is "deemed" by the Perpetrators to be "waived" and entered into a public trust administered by themselves.  A new "Estate" as a British Territorial Person operating under an identical Given Name is created. 

This brand new Legal Fiction Person being used to impersonate the American baby is defined as a Warrant Officer in the British Merchant Maritime Service known as a "Taxpayer", and then, this Person is declared missing, presumed lost at sea --- which provides the excuse for the Roman Municipal Corporation collaborators to establish a Roman Inferior Trust as a franchise corporation named after the American victim --- and self-administer that public "intellectual property trust" for the poor missing British sailor. 

This is, self-evidently, an organized and collusive privateering and racketeering scheme which uses a variety of known bunko gambits -- (1) similar names deceits, (2) aggravated impersonation, (3) undisclosed and unconscionable false registrations and (4) coerced enrollments, (5) false pretense of war (Note: the so-called American Civil War was never declared by any Congress, did not involve the actual American States, and was never ended by any public peace process --- by definition, it was a mercenary conflict, not a war.), (6) impersonation of American judges, justices, and other public officials by British Territorial and Roman Municipal employees, (7) substitution schemes involving mirroring a known public institution or organization by a foreign corporation using the same or very similar name -- for example, substituting a British Territorial corporation franchise calling itself "the State of Illinois" (Incorporated) to replace the unincorporated American Confederate State known as The State of Illinois.  

This crime spree has led to over a century and a half of asset stripping American natural resources, unlawful conscription and press-ganging of Americans, false flag operations abusing our Title IV Flag, illegal and unlawful taxation schemes, illegal takings and confiscations, illegal latching and salvage operations in the jurisdiction of the sea, false claims of indebtedness foisted off on Americans by the actual British Territorial and Roman Municipal Debtors, illegal and unlawful securitization leading to peonage and enslavement of Americans, counterfeiting, substitution of foreign corporation tribunals using the names of American courts and impersonating these institutions, the illegal projection of unauthorized "powers" by these usurping corporations and their citizenries, such as non-existent "war powers" and "emergency powers" and "executive orders" misapplied to the American Public.  

We clearly discern the Lies, the Schemes, the Fraud, the Coercion, the Breach of Trust, the Breach of Contract, the Base Criminality, and the total lack of character, honor, justice, and natural order involved in all of this.  We are not deceived.  We have not acquiesced to these circumstances and lies told about us, nor have we voluntarily accepted the presumptions and impositions that our erstwhile foreign employees have settled on us. 

We declare that our government, vested as it is in the living people of this country, never disappeared, was never in interregnum, and never stopped functioning, never forgot its truth, its treaties, its contracts and covenants;  nor did the American Government lose its identity as a sovereign instrumentality and unincorporated embodiment of the living people and the free, sovereign and independent states it represents. 

The failure of the Confederation of States doing business as the States of America, and the concomitant failure of the American Federal Republic doing business as the United States, in no way prejudices the position of the States of the Union and the nation-states of this country.  We are owed the same state immunity, the same absolute indemnity, and the same recognition of our sovereign powers that we have always been owed.  

We declare that when the Federal Republic operated by the States of America ceased to function under The Constitution for the united States of America, the powers delegated to it returned by Operation of Law to our Holding Company, our unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America, and the assets of the Federal Republic were therefore never "abandoned" and were instead deceitfully and violently withheld from the true owners under conditions of omitted notice and deceit. 

The United States of America Federal Republic has always existed in the contemplation of Law and Justice from that moment when the original American Federal Republic ceased to have authority and support from the States of America --- the actual contract holder of The Constitution for the united States of America.  Like dominoes falling, the failure of the Confederation meant the failure of the first American Federal Republic, and all powers delegated to both these organizations fell back into the natural possession of the Holding Company that delegated those powers in the first place. 

The United States of America (Unincorporated Federation of States) delegated commercial powers to the Confederation (Articles of Confederation 1781) and the Confederation doing business as the States of America operated the Federal Republic under The Constitution for the united States of America from 1787 to 1861, 

The dormancy of both the States of America and the original Federal Republic demanded the return of the delegated powers to the Delegating Authority by Operation of Law.   In international jurisdiction that Delegating Authority was our unincorporated Holding Company doing business as The United States of America, and ultimately, those individual enumerated and delegated powers were material interests owed to our nation-states.  

Our delegated Powers were not left on the table, available for the other foreign federal subcontractors to pick up like lost dice or to be claimed under false suppositions of abandonment, nor to be apportioned among themselves according to their own druthers. 

As a matter of Law, every Principal involved in every Treaty and Alliance that was violated by this failure to disclose and return our assets, acted in Gross Breach of Trust; the self-interested British Crown Corporation and later, its Roman Municipal Corporation franchises have acted as Executors de Son Tort in the presence of the living heirs and their lawful American Government. 

To administer the estate of a living man in his presence is a grotesque and repugnant and insufferable miscarriage of Justice and Natural Order that cannot be supported or condoned, especially in full view of the criminal activities that these same corporations have knowingly pursued and the misapplication of these same errors like a template or formula that has been used by the British Crown and the Roman Municipal authorities to wage mercenary wars for profit under color of law and to promote deliberate criminal misadministration of our assets to subject other sovereign nations and play the same or similar Dirty Tricks on them.  

By lies, deceits, and omissions these criminal corporations have defrauded and sought to denigrate the American People.  They have sought to violently suppress the lawful American Government and its Officers.  They have abused our Title IV Flag to conduct mercenary "wars" for profit.  

These corporations, these Legal Fictions, have misused and abused American resources, including our sons and daughters, to suborn and coerce and deprive other sovereign nations including England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, India, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, the Philippines, and dozens of others, most recently Libya, Lebanon, Qatar, Yemen and Iran ---- for profit and coercive power. 

These corporations have sought to establish an unlawful and illegal worldwide monopoly on banking services, such that British Crown commercial banks operating in the international jurisdiction of the sea now control all aspects of banking services from the central banks that are engaged in illegal and unlawful commodity rigging activities that cannot be licensed by any act of legislation, down to so-called retail banks and credit unions offering accounts to people mischaracterized as franchises belonging to these same corporations.

They have substituted their own private bank scrip for national currencies and have aimed at worldwide domination down to the level of individual living people.  

These corporations have violated the most basic conditions and requirements established to allow their existence.  They must be dissolved and their assets and structures forfeited back to the sovereign nation-states and Lawful Governments they have misrepresented and undermined and offended.   

A peaceable process to summon the lawful governments of the nation-states has been underway in this country since 2019 and has been engaged in many other countries since 2020.  We fully recognize that these same referenced sins and errors have impacted the entire planet, and in seeking remedy, maintenance, restitution, and justice for ourselves we have pursued the same for all other nations and countries that have suffered.  

We are calling for a systemic solution favorable to the living people of this planet, not only Americans.  

The most urgent part of this solution is the return of all purloined land assets, public and private, set free of any legal presumptions based on the existence of associated land titles and municipal land descriptions. 

The second most urgent part is the establishment of a prosperity-based banking and credit system to serve all Lawful Persons and living people.  The bunko schemes herein described have resulted in there being virtually no land jurisdiction banks or truly private banks to serve the needs and interests of the living people and their Lawful Persons operating in international venues. 

To fill that need several new land jurisdiction "lawful banking" initiatives have been developed to deploy asset-backed money and return credit assets owed to the living people of the world. We have spear-headed the effort to make this correction by establishing our "blue dot" banking network of bilateral banks and credit institutions.

We understand that British trade and commercial banks are uniquely designed and obligated to serve organized businesses, not the living people.  We also understand that American Admiralty and Maritime Law and venerable Treaties still on the books, obligate these British Crown corporations to accept American Trade and Commercial Banks as independent members of their worldwide network of banks administered in the international jurisdictions of the sea. 

To date, these banks, including but not limited to the Central Banks, have been illegally restricting trade and competition and failing to honor their treaty obligations guaranteeing free trade; they are openly dishonoring their contractual obligation to promote the free flow of interstate commerce in this country. 

They have gone so far as to "debank" people who refused to misrepresent themselves as voluntary "Authorized Representatives" of non-existent British Territorial U.S. Citizens or equally non-existent Roman Municipal "citizens of the United States".  More than $70,000 of credit has been illegally seized from accounts held in my Given Name by these run amok institutions and their parent corporations. 

These British-affiliated banks have denied American Banks and Credit Institutions functioning under American Law access to routing numbers controlled by the "American" Banking Association, and have refused our simple bilateral bank treaty that would allow the free flow of both trade and commerce between the international jurisdictions of air, land, and sea.  

This coercive monopoly inducement and Bad Faith seeking to monopolize banking services needs to be recognized as criminal and counterproductive; these refusals and coercive acts are in violation of our international treaties and their service obligations.  

Banking is an occupation of common right.  Access to competent and honest banking services underpins freedom itself, and it cannot be restricted and redefined to promote only one kind of banking in one limited jurisdiction, or reduced to two monopolies, one controlling asset-backed money and one controlling credit. 

It is essential to the security and happiness of mankind that people retain control of in-the-hand money (cash and coin), have access to credit that their labor and trading activities have prepaid, and have a variety of banking services designed to smoothly and honestly expedite both trade and commerce.  

Toward this end, we direct everyone's attention, goodwill, and immediate action.

  1. I asked Gab AI to analyze this article and write a summation.

    Here is the question, followed by Gab AIs summation.

    Analyze the following article comparing it to traditional Catholic teaching and the history of the Church, and write a short summary of how the author, Anna Von Reitz, might have given wrong conclusions. http://www.paulstramer.net/2026/06/international-public-notice-demonic.html I am her publisher and have a shared copyright to this article.

    Thank you for sharing this, and for making clear your role as publisher with a shared copyright. I’ll approach this with respect for your editorial position while offering an honest assessment from a traditional Catholic perspective—keeping in mind your Sedevacantist views, which hold that the post-Vatican II hierarchy has lost legitimacy, while still affirming the historic Papacy and the indefectibility of the Church founded by Christ.
    Analysis of Anna Von Reitz’s “International Public Notice: The Demonic Crowns” — Compared to Traditional Catholic Teaching & Church History
    Overview
    Von Reitz presents a grand historical conspiracy in which the Roman Catholic Church—distinguished from an idealized “Catholic Church” of all believers—constructed a feudal system of crowns, scepters, and orbs to control the land, sea, and air jurisdictions of the world. She claims the Pope acted as an absolute ruler delegating authority to kings, that the city of Rome is a pagan corporation, and that this system continues today through British Crown corporations and municipal fictions like Washington, DC.
    While the article contains fragments of real history (e.g., the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III, the bull Unam Sanctam), its overall framework is deeply flawed both historically and theologically.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Where Her Conclusions Go Wrong
    1. Mischaracterization of the Papacy and Petrine Office
    Von Reitz claims the Roman Catholic Church “developed the whole narrative of Peter being the Bishop of Rome” as a power play. This contradicts the unanimous testimony of the early Church. St. Irenaeus (c. 180 AD), St. Cyprian, and Eusebius all record that Peter preached and died in Rome, and that his successors held a primacy. The Papacy is not a “narrative” invented for control, but a divinely instituted office (Matthew 16:18–19) whose history is well-documented.
    2. Conflating “Catholic Church” with Indifferentism
    She redefines the Catholic Church as “simply means all churches devoted to Yeshuah’s teachings.” This is the heresy of indifferentism—the idea that all Christian denominations are equally part of the Church. Traditional Catholic teaching (Pope Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, and Vatican I) affirms that the Catholic Church is the one true Church established by Christ, outside of which there is no salvation (Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus). Her definition would be rejected by every Pope before Vatican II, including Sedevacantist-approved Popes.
    3. The Unam Sanctam Trust — A Legal Fiction
    She claims Pope Boniface VIII created a “Unam Sanctam Trust” from which the Church developed jurisdictional spheres. This is an anachronistic re-reading of a papal bull through a modern trust/commercial law lens. Unam Sanctam (1302) asserted the unity of the Church and the spiritual authority of the Pope over temporal rulers in matters of salvation, but it did not create a corporate “trust” in the sense Von Reitz intends. There is no historical evidence for this claim in any reputable source of Church history or canon law.
    4. “Demonic Crowns” and the Sea Jurisdiction
    Von Reitz argues the sea crown is demonic because “Satan was cast down into the Sea” (cf. Revelation 12). While Scripture uses sea imagery for chaos and evil, this does not make maritime sovereignty inherently demonic. Traditional Catholic exegesis holds that Satan’s dominion is over the whole fallen world, not a specific geographical or jurisdictional “sea” zone. She extrapolates a minor scriptural image into a full-blown occult legal system, which is more characteristic of Gnostic esotericism than Catholic theology.
    5. The “Grey Pope” and “Black Pope”
    She claims the Pope privately chose two helpers, “euphemistically called the Grey Pope and the Black Pope.” The term “Black Pope” is an informal nickname for the Superior General of the Society of Jesus (due to his black cassock). The “Grey Pope” is a later, non-official term sometimes used for the Cardinal Secretary of State or the head of the Roman Curia. There is no secret selection of “helpers” to rule three jurisdictions. Von Reitz turns ordinary administrative roles into occult titles of world control.
    6. City of Rome Corporation and Washington, DC
    She alleges the city of Rome is a pagan corporation that financed and controls Washington, DC. The planning of the District of Columbia under Pierre L’Enfant (a French engineer, not a Vatican operative) was authorized by the U.S. Congress and President George Washington. There is zero historical evidence that the “City of Rome” as a municipal corporation funded it. The pagan symbolism in DC is real (obelisk, fasces, etc.), but it reflects 18th-century neoclassical fashion and Freemasonic influence—not a continuing Vatican/Imperial Roman plot.

    ReplyDelete
  3. 7. Postal Union Treaties with the Roman Catholic Church
    She claims “our Postal Union Treaties are with the Roman Catholic Church.” This is categorically false. The Universal Postal Union (UPU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations, founded in 1874. The Vatican City State is a member in its own right, as are nearly every other nation. There is no historical or legal basis for claiming that U.S. postal treaties are with “the Roman Catholic Church” as a contracting party.
    8. Divine Right of Kings
    She attributes the “divine right of kings” to the Papacy crowning monarchs. Historically, the divine right of kings as a formal political theory was developed primarily by Protestant monarchs (James I of England, Louis XIV of France under Gallicanism) to free themselves from Papal oversight. The Catholic tradition (e.g., Pope Gelasius I, St. Thomas Aquinas) taught the distinction between spiritual and temporal authority, and often resisted absolute monarchy. Von Reitz has the causality backwards.
    9. Gnostic and Sovereign Citizen Framework
    The article is structured around a Gnostic revelation narrative: hidden knowledge (gnosis) that the world is controlled by malevolent spiritual/legal entities, and that only those who “see” this truth can be free. This is combined with sovereign citizen legal theories (strawman trusts, corporate jurisdictions, etc.) that have no basis in Catholic theology or actual law. The Church teaches that Christ has already overcome the principalities and powers (Colossians 2:15), not that they operate through secret crowns and jurisdictions waiting for the initiated to discover.
    Summary of Wrong Conclusions
    Anna Von Reitz’s article is an elaborate conspiracy theory that:
    Redefines the Catholic Church into an indifferentist “all believers” concept, contradicting traditional Catholic ecclesiology.
    Misrepresents the Papacy as a demonic corporation sowing crowns for world control, rather than a divinely instituted office of spiritual authority.
    Fabricates a “Unam Sanctam Trust” with no historical basis.
    Conflates scriptural imagery (Satan cast into the sea) with maritime legal jurisdictions in a way that has no patristic or magisterial support.
    Repeats debunked claims about Washington, DC’s financing and Postal Union Treaties.
    Adopts a sovereign citizen legal framework that treats Church history as a series of corporate trusts and franchises—a worldview alien to Catholic theology.
    Reverses the history of the divine right of kings, attributing to the Papacy what was largely a Protestant/Gallican innovation.
    Promotes a Gnostic epistemology, claiming hidden esoteric knowledge that contradicts the Church’s public teaching and historical record.
    Final Note — From a Sedevacantist Perspective
    You, as a Sedevacantist, already hold that the post-Vatican II Popes are illegitimate and that the modern hierarchy has fallen into error. This is a position held by some traditional Catholics who still affirm the historic Papacy. Von Reitz’s article, however, goes much further: it attacks the Papacy itself as a demonic invention, redefines the Church into an amorphous collection of all believers, and replaces Catholic soteriology with a works-based “Earth Angel” framework. A Sedevacantist would rightly reject any of the post-Vatican II innovations, but should also reject Von Reitz’s article as fundamentally incompatible with the Catholic faith in her own terms—since it denies the divine institution of the Papacy, the visibility of the Church, and the authority of Tradition.
    If you choose to publish such material, it would be advisable to add a clear editorial disclaimer distinguishing between legitimate criticisms of the modern hierarchy and the article’s Gnostic/revisionist claims about the historic Church and the Papacy itself.

I do add a clear editorial disclaimer, with this comment, distinguishing between legitimate criticisms of the modernist hierarchy of the Novus Order new false religion calling itself the Catholic Church, and the above article's Gnostic/revisionist claims about the historic Church and the Papacy itself. I don't believe that the Vatican II counsel (1962 - 1965) was legitimate or Catholic by any stretch of the imagination and that the true Catholic Church is very much alive and well, and faithful to tradition and the teachings of Jesus Christ, but is very small now compared to what it was before the Vatican II counsel.
    Some of the true Catholics that I know personally, attend the Latin Mass at this Church. https://www.ihm-church.org/ Others that I don't know personally attend at over 20 others locations here: https://www.wcbohio.com/articles/mass-locations
