00:54 - Opening credits "The Roman Catholic Bad Popes, Who Were Worse Than All of the Rest of the Bad Popes"

01:12 - Adrian IV (1154-1159) papal bull authorizing military invasions, particularly for the English King to invade Ireland. 1 Corinthians 10-6, "for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete."

03:12 - Gregory IX (1227-1241) crusade against the Holy Roman Empire, started inquisition in Languedoc, France (see our video "MARTYRS FOR CHRIST: THE MURDEROUS ROMAN CATHOLIC INQUISITION" at    • MARTYRS FOR CHRIST: THE MURDEROUS ROM...   ) endorsed crusades in northeastern Europe & ordered raiding of all Jewish synagogues to confiscate all Jewish Talmuds (see our video "Babylonian Talmud is a Jewish Law & Oral Tradition Book of over 10 million Words Across 38 Volumes" at    • Babylonian Talmud is a Jewish Law & O...   ).

06:31 - Innocent IV (1243-1254) gave the bull called "Super Extirpatione" (= ad extirpanda) authorizing torture for the inquisition. He tried to have the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II murdered. He used inquisitors & sold indulgences (see our video "DO ROMAN CATHOLIC INDULGENCES REALLY FORGIVE SINS? DEBATE - JAMES WHITE VS. ROBERT FASTIGGI" at    • DO ROMAN CATHOLIC INDULGENCES REALLY ...   ).

09:37 - John XXI, Innocent V, Adrian V, Nicholas III, Martin IV: practiced much nepotism in order to gain power & win election as pope. Nepotism is an advantage, privilege, or position that is granted to relatives and friends in an occupation or field. These fields may include but are not limited to, business, politics, academia, entertainment, sports, fitness, religion, and other activities. The term originated with the assignment of nephews to important positions by Catholic popes and bishops. Footnote 3 - "nepotism". New Catholic Dictionary.

11:20 - The evil actions of popes proves their office is a false one & the church they represent is also false. A very revealing verse in describing the condition of the wicked is found in Psalm 17:14, "By your hand save me from such people, LORD, from those of this world whose reward is in this life." What does Psalm 17:14 mean? As part of his praise in another psalm, David referred to his "portion" in God (Psalm 16:5–6). This came in the context of an eternal relationship with the Lord (Psalm 16:10–11). Here, David refers to those enemies who reject God as those who have their "portion in this life." A "portion," in Old Testament imagery, is a reference to someone's allotted destiny, with a specific sense of God's choice. Those with a portion only in earthly life are those whose success and happiness will end, dramatically, when their lives end (Proverbs 10:28; 14:32; 1 Corinthians 15:19).

These foes are men of the world, in the spiritual sense. They have nothing to look forward to in eternity (Hebrews 10:27–31). All they have is what they accumulate in this life. That earthly wealth may be considerable, even if their spirits are not right with God (Luke 12:13–20). The Lord might give them children, and whatever possessions and wealth they obtain they leave behind to those descendants. But in eternity, they will have nothing but torment (Mark 9:47–48).

The Bible differentiates between people of the world and followers of Christ (1 John 2:15). The only enjoyment people of the world have they derive from worldly treasure. Eternity holds only judgment and anguish for them. However, followers of Christ have treasures in heaven. When the apostle Paul faced the possibility of execution, he wrote, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). John writes in 1 John 2:17: "And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever."
