Dwells in St. Peter's Basilica, a virtualgraveyard, where hundreds of dead bodies are now buried underneath.

Prays for dead people, believing that
he (the pope) has the power to deter- mine their eternal destiny.
Believes he has power to decide who becomes a "saint", even hundreds of years after that person has been dead. [BBC News: 4 new "saints" by Benedict]
Prays to dead people ("saints") who have been dead for hundreds of years, expecting a divine answer from them. [ ie. Mary, St. Francis, etc. ]

"Vatican change of heart over 'barbaric' Crusades"
[ Vatican (Benedict) has begun moves to rehabilitate the Cru- saders...."John Paul's apologies (in 2000) for past "errors of the Church"......irritated some Vatican conservatives....including Joseph Ratzinger...now Pope Benedict XVI." ]
A SATANIC PRACTICE, performed publicly and boldly to a blind generation.
Although Jesus said communion is to be a reminder, receiving it "in re- membrance" of Him [1Corinthians 11:24, 25], the Popes created the satanic tradition of "transubstantia- tion", believing that the bread and grapejuice "literally"become the "physical body and blood" of Christ before Popes receive their communion.
If this Anti-Biblical ritualwere true, it would amount to the Popes engaging in cannibalism of the Savior and Lord, which is exactly what they believe is occurring in their false tradition of communion "conversion".
Worse, the Popes have succeeded in persuading over 1 Billion persons globally to gladly partake in this satanic practice which mocks Christ, year after year.
BREAKING GOD'S RULES:Benedict XVI -Praying to the dead at Pope Pius XII's tomb and expecting answers to prayers directly opposes God's Word and is a satanic practice. The POPES also thumb their nose at God since they wear 'hats' while praying which directly opposes God's Word. The Bible states "Every man who wears something on his head while praying or prophesying, disgraces his head." [1Corinthians 11:4]
May 2009 / Benedict opposes the New Testament and disrespects the Jews by keeping his 'hat' on while praying at the "Wailing Wall" in Jerusalem.
Bold, public, satanic spiritual beliefs
No other, except the PAPACY, fulfills scriptures regarding the False Prophet. Not only is he the most exalted man by the world,having an unprecedented 1.2 Billion followers .... but he also "exaltshimself" above all others. [2Thess 2:4]

November 2, 2010 (right >): Benedict XVI performs the Anti-Biblical ritual of bless-ing the dead body of John Paul II under- neath the Vatican in preparation for pos- sible future "sainthood" by Benedict XVI, another Anti-Biblical concept which pre-tends to exalt the Popes to the ultimate "Judge" of a person's eternal destiny.
Benedict XVI Elevates John Paul II One Step Closer to Sainthood / Benedict XVI's extravagant Ritual of "beatifying" a dead person until the Pope himself decides later whether or not to make that person a "saint" (canonize) is pure folly to Spirit-filled students of the Bible.In the May 1st ritual, the Vaticanexhumed the casket with Pope John Paul II's dead body for public reverencing along with having JP II 's leftover blood also held up as a relic for public homage. (News). Over 1 Million naive followers crowded Rome, and with worldwide TV coverage.
Antichrist is 'the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan...and with all thedeception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.' [2 Thess. 2: 9,10]

Jesus' own instruction states:"DO NOT call anyone on earth
'Father'; for One is your Father, who is in heaven." (Matthew 23:9). However, the Pope snubs his nose at God's Word, exalting himself as the "Holy Father", and fooling over 1 billion fol- lowers to address him as such.
The global media and other world leaders also do the same.
