2nd/2 Because of the censorship, I am of the opinion that saints came from various backgrounds, some believed in a trinity others were Jews, they were faithful to God but did not know the truth because the vatican made sure they remained ignorant and before they could gain more progress they were locked away tortured and burnt alive---the biting irony is that at some level many saints were heretics in serious ways or at least in subtle ways, but in an atmosphere of indoctrination from infancy, utter terrorism, utter persecution, universal imposed ignorance on the pain of death, with zero opportunity, yet it is still a blasphemy and a lie to describe them as nothing more than heretics, hypocrisy to force them to recant truths only to accept heresies, unjust to punish the least heretical where all are heretics and remain immune. One major heresy most denominations retained was the trinity and one major symbol they continue to use is the cross, which is an ancient symbol related to sun worship, and the cross is the mark of the beast. The True Church is more elusive and has never and will never become the mainstream, it is the door that leads to life that few find, and the hard way that leads to salvation that only a few have taken, it has remained underground under relentless persecution--we are trying to speak out, but always fail to gain any voice; it does not really figure in any historical account, because all history is a catholic narration of what is convenient to Rome, hence the most important events and persons are omitted, since they are also the ones to which the jesuit status quo is most sensitive to, their defeats, their crimes, the reversal of all their claims and boasts, their shame, their weak points----they continue to insist in those lies not because they believe them but because through them they can manipulate others and stay in power; most of the Church has been made up of dispersed individuals so called 'heretics' that were identified before joining any other Christian by the secret vatican police, which hunted them even in forests, and were martyred one at a time. There were only rare instances of a united body of Christians like the Waldenses in the remote summits of the Alps and the Cathars in Southern France who also had to disguise themselves to survive the catholic persecution but soon the vatican felt a morbid fear of their growing numbers and through various pretexts besides promising spoils to the plunderers as bribes and various forms of retaliation against monarchs nobles etc. by way of intimidation it crushed every instance in every age everywhere to this day, torture was officially introduced with an official inquisition and the Dominican order was created after the pattern of the Cathars so that by mimicking them the vatican might convert with soft power some Cathars or potential Cathars, these orders with various styles and flavors are the basis for the pantheon of religions the jesuits now own with some 40,000 heretical Christian denominations, all current religions worldwide are catholic orders; how close to Christ these victims were can only be assumed and deduced by their fate, as the catholic accounts of their beliefs are spurious. They faced repeated crusades until they disappeared in the 19th century (Waldenses) with much of their literature confiscated by the vatican and some ' surviving examples' considered by most as forgeries prove the jesuits have a lot to hide. The technological developments have made the tortures interrogations manuals persecutions intensify every generation, the increasing immorality and corruption of society have also increased the cruelty and brutality of the inquisition and its sadistic attributes. One way or another, the vatican always manages to persuade society to approve of the public burning of saints, one invariable tool it has used for this purpose is to demonize saints, to malign any good figure of history ever after, predisposing all minds to get to the truth. I have been 'burning alive' in torment for over a decade, the torture never ceases 24/7, the world remains indifferent incredulous blind, generally no government has ever cared, and in cases where they have cared, they have failed to protect their subjects (consider the case of Hus or even Joan of Arc), never discerning how important the cause of Christ is. Finally the vatican does not only persecute saints, it does not only make holocausts of saints, it makes holocausts of all they can make holocausts of, and in fact it has committed genocides against the majority of ethnic religious and cultural groups on earth---the particulars of their individual cases will reveal the actual motive, in some cases it was all for money, in other cases it was all for religious reasons, in most cases there is a combination of many factors. The suppression of truth is a major goal in the vatican/jesuit agenda, it can be scientific, as in the famous Galileo case, or political, or religious, etc---they do not want be debunked and exposed as the impostors they really are in any of these areas, nay, to be unmasked as the antichrists, their power and wealth derive from deceiving the world, being they the snake mouthpiece of satan. The Pharisees persecuted the early Christians for religious reasons, and this is the main reason all Christians in every place and age have been persecuted for---the exploitation employed to finance their persecution and annihilation and the other potential economic political social threats they may pose in an upside-down world are secondary and tangential.Feel free to ask any questions. (The jesuits are blocking all my comments, some paragraphs post, others do not.)
