Did Jesuit Pope Francis order “Jesuit” Joe Biden to commute the death sentences of federal death row inmates?
While you won’t find any public order – although you will find a public prayer as discussed below – from the Papal Antichrist to Joe Biden demanding the President commute the death sentences of the 40 federal death row inmates, consider the following events and decide for yourself if this is what happened.
According to this post from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) website dated 12/20/2024,[1] Pope Francis and Joe Biden spoke by phone on 12/19/2024. The USCCB article quotes a statement from the White House[2] that same day that reads, “President Biden also graciously accepted His Holiness Pope Francis’ invitation to visit the Vatican next month.”
The Wittenberg Church Door where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses, October 31, 1517.
In two days, we will mark the 506th anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door.
Luther wasn’t the first to push back on the theological and political abuses of the Roman Church-State. John Wycliffe in England had done so 150 or so years earlier. Jan Hus, another reformer, was murdered by the Church-State in 1415, just 102 years before Luther’s famous act.
Predating these men were the Waldenses, Italian Christians who left the Roman Church-State and built their own civilization in the valleys of the Alps. According to Wylie in his History of the Waldenses, “When their [the Waldenses] co-religionists on the plains entered within the pale of the Roman jurisdiction, they retired within the mountains, and spurning alike the tyrannical yoke and the corrupt tenets of the Church of the Seven Hills, they preserved in its purity and simplicity the faith their fathers had handed down to them.”[1]
As our nation, as the whole of the formerly Christian West, turns more and more away from its historic Protestant roots and more and more toward tyranny of various stripes, I cannot help but wonder if we twenty-first century Protestants will not have to follow in the footsteps of the Waldenses to escape what appears to be a coming wave of persecution in our own time.

Over 2,500 years ago, the prophet Isaiah penned the words, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah was writing about the collapsing theocracy in Judah in the 7th and 8th centuries B.C., but he could just as easily have been commenting on 21st-century America.
What Isaiah was describing has been termed by some a “satanic inversion.” That is, what is put forth by the devil’s votaries as good is the mirror opposite of what is commanded by God and vice versa. God cannot lie. But when Satan lies, he speaks from his own resources. For lies are his native language.
Lies have become the native language of America’s ruling class. Their daddy is the devil. And by ruling class, I mean not just those in positions of political authority – mayors, governors, senators, judges, presidents – but leaders in business, leaders in the schools, leaders in the universities, leaders in publishing companies, leaders in entertainment, leaders in the media, and, yes, leaders in many churches as well. 24/7, Americans are subject to the most extraordinary propaganda, yet many seem blissfully unaware of it.
Last Monday’s horrible shooting at a Nashville church school and the aftermath is an obvious example of a satanic inversion and one that bears closer examination.
It’s not the Guns
Predictably, the gun grabbers were fighting over who could get to the microphone the fastest to call for the disarming of the American people. Oh, they’ll tell you they just want to keep AR-15s out of peoples’ hands. Why, those are weapons of war!
But of course, the gun grabbers have no intention of stopping with AR-15s. If they get their way, their next target likely will be 9mm pistols. Joe Biden himself signaled this last year when he appeared to call for the banning of 9mm handguns. Said Biden in his garbled way, “So the idea of these high-caliber weapons (9mm handguns) is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of thinking about self-protection.”
It’s not surprising that the Roman Catholic, Jesuit-linked Joe Biden would come out against handguns. His Vatican handlers have been pushing for handgun control since at least 1975.
But here’s something to think about. I graduated high school in the mid-1980s. And while younger readers may find this hard to believe, no one was worried about school shootings. The subject just never came up. There were no metal detectors in my high school. There were, as far as I’m aware, no armed resource officers in my high school. The doors were not locked and barred.
And there were guns around in the 1980s. Lots of ‘em.
I don’t say this to suggest everyone at my high school was a perfect angel or that there were no behavior problems. There was a lot of bad stuff happening in the 1980s, including some school shootings. It’s just that if you had used the term “school shooter” in 1980s America, no one would have known what you were talking about. It wasn’t a “thing” at that time.
And school shootings didn’t become a “thing” until two demon-possessed students at Columbine High School went on a shooting spree in 1999 killing 12 other students and one teacher before they killed themselves.
So, if there were guns around in the 1980s and school shootings were rare, then how can guns be the cause of the raft of school shootings we’ve seen since the 1990s?
I’ve studied the work of John Robbins for twenty years now, but I still find myself amazed at his ability to articulate profound ideas in simple direct language.
I recently re-listened to his lecture Money, Freedom and the Bible and found the following gems from Robbins in his responses to audience questions after his talk was over.
Crime Punishment versus Crime Prevention
22:41 But again it would seem that there were no regulatory police in ancient Israel. The buyers and sellers were responsible for making sure that they were not being cheated. And if detected in fraud, a person was subject to stiff penalties. Biblical law follows the principle of punishing wrong doers rather than trying to regulate everyone in the hope of preventing wrongdoing.
The Law of Jubilee
34:37 So the law of Jubilee is gone. That ended at the resurrection of Christ. Incidentally, there’s no record of ancient Israel ever observing the law of Jubilee throughout the Old Testament. The law was on the books but it was not observed.
Sins and Crimes / Rendering What is Due to Caesar and to God
35:25 The Bible condemns many things as sins, that it does not give the authority to civil government to punish. The things that it gives the authority to civil government to punish are specifically listed when there are civil penalties involved. If there is no civil penalty, we can only conclude that, although this particular action or thought is immoral, government has no right to punish it. I think it’s important that Paul said that the purpose of the ruler is to punish wrongdoers, not wrong thinkers. He says wrongdoers. I think every word is important. And there you have the beginning of the idea of freedom of opinion, freedom of conscience. Just as when Christ said render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the thing that are Gods, you have for the first time a challenge to the totalitarian state of Greece and Rome. Up to then everything was Caesars. Everything was rendered to Caesar. Or everything was rendered to the polis. The polis could kill Socrates for corrupting the youth of Athens. But Christ first made the distinction, he said some things were Caesars and some things were not Caesars. And we’re to render to each what is his due.
