Open letter to the Vatican/Pope

I'm writing this letter because I wish to be removed from the church registries or as many would say " be excommunicated". I can't think of a better honour than that.

I've had quite a challenging relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. Since I was a child my mother tried to put me through catechism. I didn't have a very good experience. From the start I have been rather inquisitive, thing that was not very well tolerated by priests nor the " catequistas".

I would question the prayers I was taught (one such instances was about Hail Mary, when they say she is the mother of "G-d"- How could a simple Jewish woman, be the mother of G-d?) Of course once I was taught about the concept of trinity, I also rejected it.

I also dissected other Christian prayers and occasionally would make observations and questions neither the priest nor the "catequistas" would appreciate. This prompted them to put us on long playground/outside sessions. It would prompt me to dread "catequese" and do all in my power not to go.

I did most of my studying alone up until the first communion, but I'd occasionally go to "catequese". These were two major issues with my "indoctrinators", they wouldn't take my questions, and they'd reject any criticism I may have had, and I was specially feisty about things I was passionate about, like easter (That we call Pascoa, likely derived from the Hebrew Pesach).

I was never much fond of " Jesus" and the whole adoration of Jesus and the "virgin" Mary, which made praying specially hard for me because we were encouraged not to directly pray to G-d, but to pray through intermediaries, usually saints, dead people, something that became specially problematic after I learned the Ten Commandments because not only did I always see that as stupid and pointless, now it had acquired the dimension of breaking fundamental commandments. I felt dirty and no matter how much I brought it up I was always dismissed by the catequista and the priest-my mom wouldn't have it either.

I grew more and more weary of the church and their indoctrination, nonetheless I had to stay even after becoming agnostic/atheist on behalf of my mother because she'd accuse me of being possessed whenever I rejected the church. Still, as I was saying a few lines before, one of the major incompatibilities I had with the Catholic/Christian doctrine was the whole nonsense surrounding the appropriation of Pesach and how they corrupted the Jewish holiday (now I learned that they went much farther and corrupted almost every single Jewish holiday and made their own version) with their nonsense (which I realized after my " return" to Judaism is far deeper than I had realized as a child, or even as a teen as I was exploring religions).

I have to Explain, ever since I was young my two favourite books from the bible were ( in this order) The Scroll of Esther and the Exodus, they were always very dear to me, I never quite understood why, but they felt like the most special and meaningful accounts in the bible, that is the main reason why I would argue ( or rather try to debate) with my " catequista" because she'd tell us the reasons for celebrating Easter/Pascoa/ Pesach were all due to " Jesus'” sacrifice on the behalf of mankind. That never sat well with me.

As we all know Easter/ Pascoa/Pesach or in Modern English Jewish terms Passover was about how the Jewish People was guided by G-d, out of Egypt. The reason why we celebrate it is because how important it is and how it reaffirmed our alliance with G-d. I was always disappointed how not once Christians mention the Exodus around Passover (or Easter for them).

One of the most important events in the Bible is completely ignored (as are all other Jewish Holidays), not only that all the symbolism of Seder, all Passover customs are corrupted and associated with Jesus.

The reason why Christians prepare lamb for this holiday is because they call Jesus the Sacrificial lamb of G-d. They even stole all the significance from Passover. Of course I knew that we ate lamb because, in reality, it had nothing to do with Jesus, but with the fact that in order to save His people, G-d sent various instructions/guidelines on how they'd try to escape from Egypt. In one such, and most significant acts was the ritual slaughter of Rams/Lamb and the anointing of the houses where Jews dwelt as a mark signaling G-d's chosen loyal people so that G-d would spare their first-borns in all the houses marked with blood.

Of Course Christians couldn't let this without paganizing it and corrupting it, associating it with Jesus. There's much more that can be said about the christian doctrine which I questioned until the moment I definitely defected christianity. Other reasons were my mom's overt religiosity, priests trying to touch me inappropriately, etc...

Still my mom tried to keep me a christian by buying me christian cartoons and saints.

Through all this my main problem was the cognitive dissonance I saw people who were christians had in regards to the Bible. To me either the Bible was fake or the new testament could never be Divinely inspired as it contradicted so much of the old testament. I could never accept its authenticity as the continuation of the Old Testament, specially the Pauline Letters (and Christians won't shut up about them... they build their ENTIRE doctrine around Paul of Tarsus). Thereon I lost complete faith in Religions.

As I grew my mother always tried to bring me back to church, mostly failing at it, even when I conceded I was never truly there. I was always a truth seeker so I studied a lot of religions. Sadly Christianity is so deceitful that in their Moral subject in school they talked quite extensively about other religions but made sure to only mention Judaism in passing, brushing over it and giving a misleading Idea of it, so, of course, at the time I couldn't connect the dots and figure out that I was Jewish all along. Still can't forget how we went on a field trip to Lisbon. They took us to a Mosque, a Hindu temple, showed us a lot of their practices, but they failed to bring us to the Synagogue in Lisbon where we would be able to learn from a Rabbi what Judaism really is, looking back now... that must have been intentional so that those of us who may have Jewish ancestry couldn't trace back our origins or people who may see through christian propaganda and may want to find the truth couldn't find it.

Around that time I read the Bible, Torah, Qu'ran and other religious books. Still couldn't believe in Christianity and the wrong notions of Judaism taught by Christians kept me from connecting and rekindling my relationship with G-d and my ancestors. They educated us to believe Judaism was just a bitter opposition to Christianity. As much as I knew it was a lie, it took me years to realize I was Jewish. There seems to be an attempt at keeping Judaism dormant/concealed from us (by Christian Educators). There's clearly still some inbuilt antisemitism where regardless of accuracy the perspective of Jews in Christian Moral subject in School is still very much anti-Judaism. Jews are seen as a barbaric people who caused an " innocent" man to die, even though the Romans are benevolently mentioned. These subtle and yet powerful indoctrinating anti-Semitic Ideas plant an anti-Jewish sentiment in the general population, a sense of either hate or apathy. Many express very misleading Ideas about Jews planted from an early age by the Church and its propaganda tools, both in Schools and "Catequese".

Despite this propaganda I am blessed by the fact that I was born in one of the most beautiful and unique cities in the world, Tomar, Portugal. Occasionally our history teachers would take us to visit the vast and rich variety of monuments we have in our city. Often they'd overlook the Synagogue, but I still got to visit it five times in School trips. It's hard to explain the feeling I'd get every time we'd visit the Synagogue. Sadly our Synagogue is just a relic, we don't have a Rabbi or anyone to carry on the Jewish legacy, so, without a Rabbi actively combating christian Influence over crypto Jewish families, Judaism and Crypto-Judaism is dying out in my country, especially since the Fatima Hoax that cemented the Catholic influence over Portugal, especially in my Region.

I am very well aware that this was a large introduction but I wanted to lay out all the reasons for wanting to be permanently disassociated with the church. I want to cut every and all ties I have with the Catholic Church, knowing what I know about me, my past and my ancestors it became even more crucial for me to do so, I couldn't live with my conscience after all the damage caused by the Church to Thousands of Jews across the world, and their nefarious anti-Semitic Doctrine. Furthermore I want nothing with a cult that viciously creates new idols to extract money from their naive followers.

Christianity goes against all the teachings from the Torah, it's an institution that was used to Perpetuate the Roman Empire's power and an attempt at attracting both Jews and Pagans under a unique religion to control them.

I can't be associated with a religion that twists the scriptures in self-serving ways to prove their "Messiah" and Justify their power... I can't compactuate with the distortion of Jewish principles and prophecies.

Moreover given the suffering of all Jews since the inception of Christianity when Christians would persecute Jews and use them as Escape goats, accusing them of dreadful things ... wherever they went Jews were rounded up and persecuted by Christians. From the beginning of Christianity to modern age the root of all Modern Anti-Semitism is the Greco-Roman civilization,and their Frankenstein Monster Hybrid: Christianity. The deep enrooted European anti-Semitism can be traced back to Greco-Roman days, and later Christianity, as the Heir to the Roman Empire, adopted all the Greco-Roman anti-Semitic prejudice, stereotypes and lies perpetuating them all throughout Europe.

Moreover we can blame the Christian/Catholic doctrine for all Persecutions to Jews since Romans became Christians. From the blood libel ( that is still perpetuated by this pope under fake pretenses of solidarity towards “Palestinians”) to all sorts of Conspiracy theories... The anti-Semitic legacy lives on.

Despite the Separation between Orthodox Church and Catholic Church early on, the negative anti-Semitic impact of the doctrine is imbued in all Europeans. Even Jews themselves self-Hate because they were raised in a Christian-Centric world, thus a lot of Diaspora Jews will perpetuate all the lies and deceit stemming from deep structural enrooted anti-Semitism. This anti-Semitism created the conditions so all hateful ideologies in the world towards Jews could begin. From Roman Circus Games to Inquisition… and later on Nazism.

One of the reasons why Templars were dismantled was because the church suspected them of covert Judaism, according to some theories.

All European persecutions of Jews are the responsibility of the Catholics, Protestant Anti-Semitism (see Martin Luther) also stems from centuries of Anti-Semitic Catholic Christianity.

The Catholic church not only perpetuated the Anti-Semitic Ideas that would give rise to all Jewish persecutions (and actively participated in some), it is not only responsible for Nazism [due to centuries of Christian Brainwashing of Europe], they didn’t disavow Nazi Germany, they actively supported it, signing treaties with the Nazi Regime and later on harbouring Nazi war Criminals. However much they may deny it, the Catholic church is responsible for the Holocaust, both by originating the Ideologies and stereotypes, lies that would create a fertile ground for Jew-Hating policies to be applied, but by actively participating in them, yes even after the war… they hid and protected Nazis.

To this day the Church remains very much anti-Semitic and will support any Ideology that opposes Judaism. This pope openly defends Islamic terrorists while condemning the State of Israel for defending itself. Any new hate group that emerges against Judaism or the State of Israel will receive full support from the Catholic Church. Lest us forget how the Catholic Church praises and worships Mahmmoud Abbas considering him an angel of peace. He doesn’t care about his Christian subjects killed at the hands of Palestinians, so long as he is supporting a regime that actively persecutes and kills Jews. He signed a treaty with Abbas, further showing his support for Terrorism and murder of innocent Jewish Children and families.

This proves nothing has changed since ancient times. The church is an Anti-Jewish hate propaganda Machine and I want nothing to do with it.

The antisemitism in the Christian bible is overbearing... no self-Respecting human would accept that... much less if that human may have Jewish ancestors like a great majority of people in this area.

I can't condone that after years and years of Inquisition, stripping out Jews of every Human right and forced expulsion from their homes, their countries, even from Israel...someone decides that I am Christian for the single fact that I was baptized against my will.

I'd never want to have anything to do with Christian movements, much less the Catholic Church.

It is very insulting to me, that after what the Inquisition did in my City (Tomar) ransacking everything and everyone, arresting half the population for the sin of Being Jews... and stealing their property... expelling some... force-Converting others... that no matter what I do ... Just because I was baptized... I'm considered a Christian/ Catholic for the rest of my life. I don't care about the Catholic Church and want every single of my ties to it severed. Just because they dumped a little bit of water in my head... completely corrupting the concept of a Mikvah... doesn't mean that I'm a catholic... I demand a written Paper saying " I hereby ... Catholic bureaucrat responsible of whatever section declare that Ana Catarina Boavista Rodrigues is no longer a member of the Catholic Church and is excommunicated for heresy and professing the Jewish Faith" .

In the name of all my ancestors of diverse ethnicities that were forced to convert to Christianity I am taking a stand and removing our bloodline through me from this perilous institution that to this day perpetuates dangerous notions about Judaism and Jews that through the power of European culture is propagated even amongst Pagans, Atheists, Agnostics and Protestants. We need to take a stand against the parasitic institution that is the Church of Rome. I renounce to All its saints, Dead worshipping cult and I renounce to Jesus the fake prophet of doom.

The Catholic church/ Christianity has oppressed Jews for over 2000 years, it's one of the most toxic currents of thought in the entire world. Not only that it is a complete aberration and mosaic of appropriated pagan rites, beliefs polluting Judaism and Insulting G-d.

It is time to get out of this nasty institution and I urge all descendants of Crypto-Jews to do the same. I know it is hard, many of you were forced to live in Christian environments and raised in Catholicism... but here's the good news... You can learn the truth... you can learn it.... by reading the Torah, even the Old Testament of the Christian bible will tell you what you need to know. If you need more help go to Jews for Judaism... they help a great deal fighting Christian Propaganda... We need to take a stand against those that oppressed our ancestors and deprived us of our relationship with G-d and forced us into unwilling paganism and Idol worshipping. Many of us felt from a young age the repulsion for christianity. It's in our blood, our ancestry... we need to do something We need to show the church that they no longer have Power over the Bnei Anusim. And stay away from Messianic Jews, they are spreading the same lies.

If you’re a Christian, try to seek the truth, go back to the Torah and stop following an anti-Semitic religion. They lied to you…and very likely your ancestors were forced to convert to Christianity whether they were Jewish or Pagan.

I urge every Bnei Anusim (whether having already converted to Judaism or not) to take a stand and ask the Catholic Church to remove your names from their dreadful registry of who is a catholic. Your ancestors were forced to become Christians against their will... the best thing you can do is regain control over your bloodline, even if this is merely symbolic, it will show the Catholic Church that they can't keep Hashem's children in the Darkness forever. And I am sure somehow it will dignify and purify your soul. You can commit to Hashem and show your love for Hashem by rejecting the ideology that killed and tortured so many of Hashem’s People.

To the Pope I say... I am sick of all your church's lies... I am sick of your anti-Semitic Pro-Palestinian propaganda... I cannot be associated with an institution that is spreading and favouring terrorists who everyday kill Jewish fathers, mothers, rabbis and children for the "sin "of being Jewish... by voicing a pro-Palestinian stance and Anti-Israel stance pope Francis Shows that centuries of Antisemitism have not died out within the Catholic church. They still perpetuate the blood libel and don't recognize the right of the Jewish People to Exist.

I AM NOT A CATHOLIC, NEVER WAS AND WILL NEVER BE.... much less under the current papacy that supports abortion and all things that GO against G-d... never has a pope been so Anti-G-d as this one. And his Pro-Terrorist stance is inadmissible. Someone who thwarts Israel's right to exist and defend itself against terrorists doesn't have the right to determine what happens to my soul. Someone who supports Abbas’ murderous terrorist agenda shouldn’t be a religious leader in any religion… but then again this proves yet again the fact that Anti-Semitism is virulently embbeded in the core DNA of Christianity. My soul wants to Join the Jewish people, and before I can do that, I want to cleanse my soul of every impure associations to the murderous Catholic Church. To this day the church is causing damage to thousands of Jews worldwide.

The simple existence of the New Testament is a threat to Israel and the Jewish people for its anti-Semitic content. Then you have centuries of oppression by Christians, Romans, and their Frankenstein Hybrid The Roman Catholic Church.

This last century was one of the most Tragic centuries for Judaism. Thousands of Crypto-Jews were forced to finally break completely their ties to Judaism as various dictatorships forced them to learn Christianity in Schools... they could no longer escape the Church, because the church invaded Schools...So in two Generations TWO GENERATIONS... most crypto Jews in Portugal lost their ties with their ancestors and Judaism... some, like my grandmother still kept some Jewish habits, small... but enough that someone who starts keeping Kosher and becoming an observant Jew can recognize...or a born Jew can recognize...

For all this I want my name and all my ties to the Catholic Church revoked. I don't want to support this terrorist organization anymore. Nor do I want any ties or connections to it. I demand that the Pope, or any of his lackeys removes me from the Catholic Church Permanently.

I never was made to be a Catholic... and I can't support the most Anti-Semitic institution in History. Especially considering this new Pope is actively supporting Anti-Israel, Anti-Semitic Propaganda and wishes death on Jews.

He doesn't speak on the behalf of Jews murdered brutally by infiltrating Arab terrorists and perpetuates lies that give Nazis, leftist Anti-Semites and Arabs excuses to hate on Jews and Murder them. Like his predecessors before him, he is doing his Job of denying Jews the Right to exist... denying Israel the right to exist.

In Honour of my ancestors and all Jews that died or were tortured as a direct consequence of Christianity and its spoof offs, as well as the imbued anti-Semitic mentality spread by the Roman Empire and Catholic Church I demand that my name be removed and Excommunicated by the Catholic church. If you want I can say heretic things... BUT I DEMAND TO BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM THE CHURCH.

First:

-I deny the legitimacy of the Catholic Church

-I deny the Pope's representation on Earth of G-d

-I deny that Jesus could be the Messiah

-I reject the Virginity of Mary

-Mary was an adulterer

-Jesus was born out of wedlock and could never be the Messiah

-The Trinity doctrine is the biggest Joke in the History of mankind and conflicts with the Catholic claim of Monotheism, furthermore it proves that Catholics do not worship the Jewish G-d, they worship a composite amalgam of Pagan G-ds with the appropriation of Judaism as an attempt to incorporate and control both Pagans and Jews.

All Catholics are Idol worshippers and break the most fundamental commandments. Catholicism is Idolatry If this is not enought to get my name taken off the official rolls of Catholics I'm ready to go to the next sunday mess, take the Eucharistic Waffer and Step on it in front of everyone in the Church.

Keep your Statues and let me out of this... I never Asked to be Christian

Signed

No Longer your Pawn,

Ana Catarina Boavista Rodrigues

Proud Future Jew
