Pope St Damasus

Do you remember what scripture says of the dialogue by and between Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate at Christ’s kangaroo trial?  Pilate asked Christ is He was King.  Jesus  responded.

>>>” 33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me? 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:33-36 <<< 

“If my kingdom were of this world then would my servants fight!” 

Well, below is another proof of the paganism of Roman Catholicism.  Pagan means, simply, “man made.”  

The “star” of this story is “St” Damasus, good friend and "patron" of “St” Jerome, and the pope that convened the Council of Rome that austensibly established the canon of scripture.  Well that is what the Romanist’s claim.  Read below.  Compare Christ’s statement with “St” Damasus’ actions

Damasus (revered as a Saint) ascended the papal chair amidst portentous agitations, showing how, even thus early, spiritual power had deflected from its sphere of serene grandeur through association with mundane honours and interests. The election was contested by a deacon , named Ursicinus (or

Ursinus), who obtained his illegitimate consecration , a few days after that of Damasus , at the hands of a bishop of Tivoli, and for a time was supported by a faction using armed force; the two parties repeatedly encountering for battle in the streets: and one conflict in a basilica (probably S. Maria

Maggiore — vis. Animianus Marcellinus) left 137 dead bodies within the consecrated edifice , the doors of which had been burnt, and the roof stript of its tiles during this sacrilegious struggle.

That Pagan historian (Animianus Marcellinus) describes the Pope marching at the head of troops recruited among his clergy, charioteers, and hired gladiators; and adds that, during the

entire contest, 160 dead bodies were strewn over the streets, though not one of Damasus's party was slain. The Prefect, (a civil office like mayor)  unable, with all the force at his command, to suppress

this tumult, was obliged to save his life by escaping to some village on the Campagna.

From “Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art of Italy” by Hemans (1866) 

Here is recorded that 297 people slaughtered by Pope St. Damasus to hold onto his papal chair.  Did you notice that Damasus’ army suffered NO casualties?  Now could it have been that his “enemy” was unarmed?
