The pagan influence within the papacy was already established during the Reformation, and it certainly preceded Pope Francis, SJ, who is - confessedly - the worst ever modern pope.
A careful examination of the cross held by Francis shows that there is a head in the middle and an upraised arm, not exactly a stang, but not really a crucifix or anything else.
"Error loves ambiguities," a good saying to remember when dealing with UOJ minions, who will even say their world absolution helps and protects
Justification by Faith. Certainly, just as a raging fire helps and protects a drought. Sure, if you say so and you. studied. Greek.

Farther back, we can see the papal audience hall is the inside of a serpent's head, complete with windows as eyes and fangs in the mouth. Did they teach Paul McCain and Jack Kilcrease the meaning of these symbols at convent school? |
Many more pagan symbols can be found at St. Peter's, which should be viewed as a Halloween house of horrors rather than a church. They can be explained one way and countered with soothing words: "No really. Why are you saying that?"
