Did you know that the Vatican owns the four most powerful telescopes on earth? They are all located on top of Mount Graham in Arizona!

This is an eye opening video of what is really going on.

Well I have taken the time to read his book(s) and listen to what he had to say on this video; He provides more than ample proof. Using Google Earth we were shocked when we found out what is located on Mount Graham in Arizona.

It makes me chuckle every day.
I think the Vatican should spend more time looking at me. I'm a sexy stud.

This guy is a charlatan, making money on folks that believe in nonsense.

The RCC always had an interest in astronomy despite the Galileo error several centuries ago. Many of the world's prominent astronomers were or are Jesuits.

In fact the father of the Big bang theory is Jesuit Priest:




Actually, the Vatican’s interest in studying the heavens dates back at least to the late 16th century, when the Catholic Church set out to fix problems in the old Western calendar, problems which jeopardized the accurate observance of holy days.



The Church found that the calendar that we follow, the dates that we have, was getting out of synchronization with the seasons. And so Easter was in danger of slipping backwards into a winter feast, and yet in the Northern Hemisphere it has got to be a springtime feast for the Resurrection of Christ. That is when the Church brought in a team of mathematicians and scientists to advise on reforming the calendar.

It was Pope Leo XIII who, in 1891, founded the modern Vatican observatory — its telescope was located near St. Peter’s Basilica. In the 1930s, the observatory was moved to the pope’s summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, just outside of Rome.

Truthfully, I think only creationists would find this book interesting.

VATT is part of the Mount Graham International Observatory situated on Mount Graham in southeast Arizona, and is operated by the Vatican Observatory, one of the oldest astronomical research institutions in the world, in partnership with The University of Arizona.

THE VATICAN OBSERVATORY Vatican web sight!

Thank you Julian658!

I did know that. But they aren't all in Arizona. Some of them are in Castel Gandolfo in Italy (the Pope's private retreat). Some of the world's best astronomers are Jesuits.

I've always loved it that the Pope has a castle named after Gandalf, the wisest of the Istari who helped to overthrow Sauron and save Middle-earth.

I guess that is your opinion - But I honestly fail to see what Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam have to do with Chic publications.

I guess you know something sinister perhaps.
