The Bent Cross is a symbol of Satanism that Depicts a starving, pathetic
suffering the Messiah.. A sinister symbol, used
by Satanists in the sixth century, that had been revived at the time of Vatican
Two. This was a bent or broken cross, on which was displayed a repulsive and
distorted figure of the Messiah, which the black magicians and sorcerers of the
Middle Ages had made use of to represent the Biblical term 'Mark of the Beast'.
Yet, not only Paul VI, but his successors, the two John-Pauls, carried that
object and held it up to be revered by crowds, who had not the slightest idea
that it stood for False Messiah." (p. 72)
