incidentally, all Cardinals prior to their elevation have to apparently murder an infant in a ritual
sacrifice that would prove that individual’s emotional readiness and character strength necessary
to trigger the murder of millions of innocents and live with the burden of one’s conscience.
The Church has thus practiced an early form of biological warfare to ensure that Europe’s
population stays stable and the people are preserved from the misery of abject poverty and from
the suffering of chronic hunger. The teachings and prescriptions of the Church, which prohibited
sexual intercourse out of wedlock, reduced the total fertility rate
by postponing marriage and
making childbearing legal only for married couples, but this did not stop population growth, it
merely slowed it down, which is why periodic mass killings were deemed necessary and were
indeed carried out every forty to sixty years from the 14
th
to the 19
th
century with the help of the
bubonic plague.
Christians are not the only ones to resort to such cruel methods of depopulation. An equivalent
proactive measure of population control was devised by the Aztecs, Mayas and several other pre-
Columbian civilizations who practiced human ritual sacrifice
of horrific proportions,
undoubtedly in order to ensure the population did not outgrow the food supply. Interestingly, for
the Aztecs and the Mayas as for the Europeans it was the high priests who performed the duty of
killing countless people to keep society stable, and doing this with their bare hands. The
Egyptians found an even better solution, as they worked countless people to death to build
pyramids in the desert, and kept the workers in line by frightening
them with periodic human
ritual sacrifice performed by the high prists.
Thus throughout human history the task of population control has fallen on or was assumed by
religious authorities for the obvious reason that it is a decision of awesome moral weight that
could only be performed by human beings strengthened by the assurance of divine approval. I
am certain that to this day, religious authorities give secular authorities the green flag to control
population growth and keep a close eye on the methods used to ensure they are as humane as
possible. And the Catholic Church is ideally suited to play this role for the entire world, as it is
the oldest institution, with the longest history, and the deepest experience of covert, coercive and
involuntary methods of depopulation.
While the plague was used to keep the population stable and prevent famine in Europe, the
Inquisition killed millions of women throughout Christendom to keep the balance between the
genders and thus not only reduce the number of births but also preserve social harmony. The
enduring preoccupation of the Church with combatting heresy and sin has at its roots the need to
control the individual for the sake of society and keeping women in check and both men and
women chaste has been key to the population control objective.
Men died in great numbers in conflicts and in war and left behind
equally large numbers of
women who could not fend for themselves and who would be a burden on the community since
women could not possess property and only so many would find domestic employment in the
8
estates of the rich or could secure a place in a convent and dedicate their lives to caring for the
poor, the sick and the orphaned. The poor women the wealthy could not employ, the Church
could not absorb within its convents, and the community could not fend for would not only be a
material burden because they would have to be fed and housed, but also pose a social threat as
they would tempt married men into the sin of adultery and would prostitute themselves to
survive or practice black magic to sell potions to the superstitious and illiterate masses in order to
eke out a living.
Other cultures and their religions found different solutions. Islam to this day allows polygamy to
give all
women a chance to get married, or to remarry should they become widowed, since
women always outnumber men in any given population by about 2% and by a lot more in the
aftermath of war and as age increases. Hinduism to this day forces women whose husbands have
died to throw themselves on the funeral pyre during the cremation of their husbands’ bodily
remains and burn along with their beloved rather than live as widows. To force women to make
such a terrible sacrifice, the act of giving one’s life for her husband is portrayed as an act of piety
while the refusal to do it is punished with social exclusion and therefore with death by hunger.
And since men die sooner than women and
in greater numbers due to war, heavy labor and
accidents, every society will have a surplus of women that would somehow need to be either
cared for or be gotten rid of. Women in Christendom without grownup sons to take care of them,
or without the possibility of employment and housing in a wealthy household or shelter in a
convent, would more often than not end up being burned as witches. To preserve its moral
authority while committing mass murder the Church needed a plausible pretext. Heresy and
witchcraft gave the Church the pretexts necessary to commit mass murder, while envy and greed
among the general population led to constant finger pointing and gave the Inquisitors plenty of
victims to burn.
This explains why the Catholic Church has always excluded women from the clergy.
To control
women’s wombs is to control society and ensure social stability. A woman Cardinal would not
have agreed to the killing of millions of her sisters by the Inquisition. And while today the
Inquisition is no longer with us, the population control effort is alive and well and women are
still key to its success, which is why women have to be excluded from the Roman curia.
Furthermore, every Cardinal is privy to the secret role of the Church and allowing a woman in
their ranks would jeopardize the secret. Woman being the vessel of life
the vessel needs to be
guarded by man for it is only man who can fill a woman’s vessel and bring life into being.
