The obelisk standing at the Vatican was taken out of the "Roman Colosseum" where thousands of Christians were Martyred, it was placed at the Vatican in honor of their sacrifice to God!
Really? Where did you get that idea?.....
This is what I found on Google....
"Images of Saint Peter’s Square are frequently broadcast around the World. Not surprising really given that this is at the public heart of the Vatican City. Cameras tend to be directed towards St Peter’s Basilica and its iconic Renaissance dome, which dominates the skyline of Rome. Another monument also features prominently in these images; and that is the obelisk that stands at the centre of the square. An obelisk that was brought to Rome from Egypt by Caligula in 37 AD. But, why does the Vatican have a four thousand year old Egyptian obelisk?"
That is a good question.....it goes on to say....
"There are a number of Egyptian obelisks standing in Rome, in fact eight of them (a further five obelisks were made by Roman stonecutters). There are more erect obelisks from Egypt in Rome than there are anywhere else in the World, including Egypt. They were all brought to Rome by various Roman Emperors. This particular example, often called the Vatican Obelisk and sometimes Caligula’s Obelisk, is the only ancient Egyptian obelisk in Rome to have remained standing since Roman times."
Why does the Vatican Have an Egyptian Obelisk?
I believe that you have been misinformed.....or even worse....lied to.
Catholic's only worship God!
Which god is that?....certainly not the God and Father of Jesus Christ, who is no part of a trinity. (John 17:3; John 1:18)
Jesus built his Holy Catholic Church on ROCK it will never ever fail, his Holy Church was NOT built on sand!
Jesus promised to be ALWAYS WITH his Church to the end of the world! To say different you must reject the scriptures!
If that is what you want to believe, then nothing will convince you otherwise. Your choice is made, you will soon see if it was the right one. What will you do if it isn't?
I have explained to you a few times now about the "wheat and the weeds"......a parable given by Jesus Christ to show that Christianity would be sidetracked by false teachers and be led away from God in to false religious teachings and practices. The RCC is a product of that apostasy.....it never was "holy" from the outset. Its history should make you feel immense shame for the way those fake servants of God conducted themselves and the blood that was shed by them that continued into all the wars they ever supported in their nations. (Isaiah 1:15)
Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Who was Jesus speaking to? His apostles....not one of them was Catholic. They were all Jewish Christians. None of them taught what the Catholic Church teaches.
The Holy Catholic Church is apostolic meaning; the Church Jesus built on rock has roots going back to the Apostles, the Church Jesus built is 2000 years old! The Church built on ROCK has a linage going back in an unbroken chain to the first Apostles going all they back to the KEY HOLDER!!
There is no unbroken lineage leading back to Peter. Peter was never a Pope.....there were no Popes in Christianity....."the Pontiff" is what the Popes were known as...but it is not a Christian title. It is a pagan Roman title...."Pontifex Maximus". The Roman world was not Christian.
Rome borrowed many gods from ancient Greece, along with their virtues and vices. For example, Venus and Flora were brazen prostitutes; Bacchus was a drunkard and reveler; Mercury was a highway robber; and Apollo was a seducer of women. It is reported that Jupiter, the father of the gods, committed adultery or incest with about 59 women! Since worshipers tend to reflect the conduct of their gods, is it any wonder that Roman emperors such as Tiberius, Nero, and Caligula led debauched lives as adulterers, fornicators, and murderers?
In their religion, the Romans incorporated gods from many traditions. They took up the worship of Mithras, the Persian god of light, who became their sun-god, and the Syrian goddess Atargatis (Ishtar, Easter). They converted the Grecian Artemis the huntress into Diana and had their own variations of the Egyptian Isis. They also adopted the Celtic triple goddesses of fertility. (Acts 19:23-28)
At hundreds of shrines and temples, they had a variety of priests, all of whom “came under the authority of the Pontifex Maximus [Supreme Pontiff], who was the head of the state religion.” (

I am left wondering if you ever do any research outside of your church's doctrines or history....?
How pathetically dishonest.
