Comment on this Article
In 1587, Pope Sixtus V (1521-1590) established an official Vatican publishing division and
retrospectively created a literary past for the Christian religion by producing of a series of
unashamedly fictitious books. As a result, a series of illusory works were written to defend
and support untrue allegations about Christianitys past:
Several of these fake books are frequently cited and applied to the defence of Christianity
by the Church as true and genuine pieces.
(A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People, Lippincott and Co. 1877; also,
Diderots Encyclopdie, 1759; also, The Propaganda Press of Rome, Sir James W. L.
Claxton, Whitehaven Books, Belgrave Square, London, 1942)
During the 16th and 17th Centuries, the Vatican flooded the world with false books about
its alleged popes, the most blatant example being the famous or infamous, but official,
Book of the Popes (Liber Pontificalis). Like the Liberian Catalogue, this tome is
notorious for its fictitious accounts of early and mythical successors of an un-historic
Pope St. Peter. This papal fabrication provides a collection of glowing diatribes
describing pontificates of docile and devout popes, most of who never existed, and has
about it the spurious air of ingenuousness that so often amuses the non-Christian reader.
Invented popes
The Book of the Popes makes martyrs of thirteen popes of the Third and Fourth
Centuries who never existed, for it is known that their names were created in later times
and retrospectively inserted into Catholic chronicles to create an illusion of an unbroken
succession of popes back to the First Century. Here we see another example of the
Vatican forging its own credentials, supported by the fact that all popes down to the year
530, with the benefit of hindsight, were honored as saints. This pretence gave the
pseudo popes an elevated Christian status, a kudos, and it concealed their fake nature.
The evidence is confessed to by the Church itself:
The Vatican has now confessed that the saintly distinctions are without foundation.
(The Popes, A Concise Biographical History, Burns and Oates, Publishers to the Holy
See, London, 1964, p. 32)
The Holy See knows that they were retrospectively applied to invented people by later
Catholic authors fabricating a false history for Christianity. Starting from 530 onward, the
authors then did away with the prefix St, and it became rare, and eventually disappeared.
This additional admission of the deceitfulness of the Book of the Popes is found in the
Catholic Encyclopedia:
In most of its manuscript copies there is found at the beginning a spurious
correspondence between Pope Damasus and St. Jerome. These letters were considered
genuine in the Middle Ages. Duchesne [papal historian, d. 1922] has proved exhaustively
and convincingly that the first series of biographies, from St. Peter to Felix III (IV, d. 530)
were compiled at the latest under Felixs successor, Boniface II (530-532). The compilers
of the Liber Pontificalis [Book of the Popes] utilized also some historical writings, a
number of apocryphal fragments [e.g. the Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions], the
Constitutum Sylvestri, the spurious Acts of the alleged Synod of the 275 Bishops under
Sylvester, etc., and the fifth century Roman Acts of Martyrs. Finally, the compilers
distributed arbitrarily along their list of popes a number of papal decrees taken from
unauthentic sources, they likewise attributed to earlier popes liturgical and disciplinary
regulations of the sixth century. The authors were Roman ecclesiastics, and some were
attached to the Roman Court in the Liber Pontificalis it is recorded that popes issued
decrees that were lost, or mislaid, or perhaps never existed at all. Later popes seized the
opportunity to supply a false pontifical letter suitable for the occasion, attributing it to the
pope whose name was mentioned in the Liber Pontificalis.

(Catholic Encyclopedia, Farley Eds., Vol., v, pp. 773-780; ix, pp. 224-225, passim; also,
Annales Ecclesiastici, Folio xi, Antwerp, 1597, Baronius; (De Antiqua Ecclesiae
Disciplina, Bishop Lewis Du Pin (Folio, Paris, 1686)
The falsity of the Book of the Popes is thereby shown, and the intentional presentation of
a fictitious papal lineage is revealed. The summations of popes are decorated with the
official halo of sanctity but a hagiographic scholar and a member of the Bollandists, Father
Hippolyte Delehaye (1859-1941), a leading Catholic investigator of this kind of Vatican
literature, frankly admitted:
There is no evidence whatever that the papal genealogies [in the Book of the Popes] are
based upon earlier sources.
(The Legends of the Saints, Father H. Delehaye, Fordham University Press, 1962)
The Vatican again admitted that its papal biographies in the Book of the Popes are not a
candid digest of men of considerable erudition, but are untruthful fabrications:
Historical criticism has for a long time dealt with this ancient text in an exhaustive way
especially in recent decades and established it historically untenable.
(Catholic Encyclopedia, Farley Eds., Vol., v, pp. 773-780; ix, pp. 224-225)
Thus, the Holy See confessed that its Book of the Popes is a phony record, compiled in
the typically fraudulent manner of all Christian literature. However, Catholic authors
regularly quote the Vatican-produced falsehood as factual, and continue to deceive people
about the true nature of popes and the real purpose of their office.
Fine-tuning the records
In 1947, and to the amazement of Catholics worldwide, Pope Pius XII announced that he
had deleted six popes from the Vaticans official list because a mistake had been made
for they never existed (New York Times; also Philadelphia Inquirer, Jan. 19th, 1947). He
also authorized the falsification of the dating of 74 popes, and removed the sainthood of
four others. In reality, the Vatican amended its fabricated list of popes, and fine-tuned for
itself a false papal inventory back to the First Century. These popes were vested with an
aureole of sanctity so, in the eyes of believers, the miraculous holiness of the early
popes is safe, overlooking Vatican confessions that it knows nothing about them except
what is written in the official panegyric that the Holy See invented for itself.
The Book of the Popes is a bizarre Catholic publication that is so deceptive, sophistical,
doctrinal and prejudiced that in the interests of revealing historical facts, it is not worthy of
reference in any serious work, yet Christian dictionaries, particularly the Oxford
Dictionary of the Christian Church constantly expand upon its fictions and references the
forged book as if its entries were historically true, but covers itself by attaching the word
unreliable in brackets after citations (e.g., Entry on page 1540 under Stephen I; 1997
Ed.,). Here we see another example of false information making its way into Christian
encyclopedias and dictionaries and used today with great profit to fool people into
believing something about Christianitys past that is untrue.
