In the 16th century, under the leadership of the Holy See Priesthood, inquiries were established in almost all Catholic countries. In 1543, the Bibliographic Department of the Holy See was also established to review books and periodicals, and to draw up a list of books that violated Catholic teachings as the banned books of the Holy See.
At this moment, the Roman church has a huge spy network: they collect information on all the consciousness and people who oppose the church, and then concentrate on the judgment of the Inquisition: Inquisition is an investigation and inspection set up by the Catholic Court. Institutions that judge "heretics". The Inquisition was originally a temporary investigation and trial institution established by the Catholic "Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors" Innocent III when he suppressed the French Albis heresy; later, his nephew, the successor Pope Gregory IX, was formally established Authorize the Catholic Dominican to establish a religious court to persecute heretics. They call themselves "the lord's guard dog" and are determined to travel all over Europe to fight out heresy and ignorance: the Inquisition is to detect, supervise, and try all dissatisfied and dissatisfied heretics from the imperial court. The Holy See approves the punishment of the Inquisition for heretics, including the confiscation of all property, flogging, imprisonment, and life imprisonment. The result of not revoking one's own heretical thoughts is torture; The priests and priests formed a rigorous intelligence network. They submitted the collected "heretics" to the Tribunal-the intelligence agency of the Holy See was able to grow rapidly; The wealth: The Papal State is now the "prototype" of Vatican. It is a large area spanning Apennines including Lavanna and Rome.In the later development of the Papal State, many secular monarchs expressed their friendship with the Christian Church and directly or indirectly contributed a lot of land to the expansion of the Papal State. For most of the history, the jurisdiction of the Papal State was much larger than that of the Vatican today; during the feudal period, land was the most valuable asset!
The income that the papacy can provide is roughly composed of two parts, one is the territory income, the other is the judicial income:

territory income The income of all production activities in Shanghai, including the collection of taxes and corvee, toll tax, consumption tax, military service tax, as well as the sales and circulation of salt and iron, alum, etc. All feudal lords who hold territories in the feudal state have similar benefits;
Judicial income: In the Papal state’s finances, judicial income is even more important than taxation income. At that time, cities were often betrayed by conflicts of interest. Or enemies who support the Pope, evade military service, fail to fulfill their obligations, and are punished by the Holy See-the main means of punishment is fines. This kind of income provides a large amount of income for the Papal State every year. The judicial services provided by the Pope State will also generate revenues such as court income and litigation fees;
In addition, most of the income of the Holy See comes from donations, taxes, and some religious activities from various dioceses: but with With the improvement of governance capabilities and the reform of the financial system, the income contributed by the Papal State accounted for 70% of the total income of the Holy See. On the eve of the religious reform, the income provided by the Papal State accounted for 70% of the total income of the Holy See. Is the core source of income of the Holy See;
This period,The Holy See is already a wealthy country in Europe: other feudal countries in Europe have to borrow usury from it if they have no money in warfare-through usury, the Holy See in disguise controls the change of power in European countries; after the change, European countries will provide the Holy See with more land And other financial gains and donations;
In this way, through wealth control and religious control, throughout the Middle Ages, the pope in Rome had a status that surpassed most secular monarchs: the intelligence agencies of the Holy See actively collected Europe Then let the Holy See make the best choice;
In modern times, the church used cardinals, bishops, and pastors to do secret intelligence gathering work for the Vatican—every The pastor of each diocese must report to his superiors what has happened in the diocese and collect all kinds of information. They have branches in most countries, and even some people think that their religious attributes are higher than national citizens; the Vatican has established a very complete intelligence collection channel and evaluation system, and it can always choose the most beneficial partner for the Vatican;
After the religious reforms, the Vatican fell into a financial crisis for a time. Later, through lending and financial reforms, the Holy See was relieved: it began to export "mental control" to European colonies and oppressed countries-sending a large number of missionaries The scholars went to the local area to "preach": they also served as collecting intelligence, cooperating with the brainwashing activities of the colonial empire, suppressing the local people’s colonial struggle, and colonial countries also used them to interfere in their internal affairs and kill the local people—the Vatican’s intelligence tentacles. Global extension...
On February 11, 1929, Pope Pius XI and Mussolini signed the Lateran Treaty: the church received a huge settlement (about Combined with the current 1.3 billion U.S. dollars),It accounted for one third of the Italian government's budget at the time; the Vatican wanted Mussolini to increase it, but found that it could not squeeze more oil, so it asked Italy to pay the salaries of 25,000 parish priests. The Lateran Treaty greatly improved Mussolini's status in the hearts of Catholics: in the national elections a month later, the National Fascist Party won 98% of parliamentary seats; the Holy See took advantage of the Great Depression of 1929 , Purchased a majority stake in Italy’s “Italian Gas” company for less than a quarter of the price. This transaction later became one of the most profitable investments of the Holy See. Internal information obtained by the Rini government;
In June 1933, Cardinal Paselli signed a mutual assistance agreement with Hitler, and later the Red Bishop became Pope Pius XII; Maintain close ties with Nazi Germany, and even assist the Nazi regime in fund transfers and financial investments-the Holy See's intelligence agencies use a huge global network to serve the Vatican;

strong after the Second World War 0p strong The unscathed Rome joined hands with the CIA to deal with the Communist Party. Church members in socialist countries have been portrayed as symbols of totalitarian persecution. They have participated in the subversion of their own power and the disintegration of the social system. Among them: In the 1950s, the Czechoslovak church accepted instructions from the Vatican and the CIA to collect a large amount of Czechoslovak national intelligence, opposed all the policies of the Czechoslovak government, and created turmoil. In February 1948, the Czech church announced at the bishops’ conference that it would not Accept government management and publish proposals to incite the church members to make trouble. And the Vatican threatened to cancel the entire country of Czechoslovakia-finally,The Prague government arrested Nine people including Sheila (bishop) and Paosek (monastery) Chegak (adjutant bishop), and they were tried by the court. All the defendants confessed that they took money from the Vatican and the CIA, gave false testimony, accepted seditious orders, and sought political benefits!
Every year, the Vatican’s publicly used funds for investing in various entities and funds have reached hundreds of millions of dollars. The investment history in North America and Western European countries is as high as tens of billions of dollars, which is known as the "international financial empire"; gold and foreign exchange reserves amount to more than 10 billion dollars; the capital of the Vatican has penetrated into many economic sectors in Italy: especially bank credit And the real estate system, the real estate alone amounted to more than 460,000 hectares-as a result, its intelligence agencies already had sufficient funds to deal with the Soviet Union; The bureau subverts Soviet Union state power: US Reagan President and Vatican Pope signed the "Holy Alliance" agreement. The U.S. government hopes to use the moral power of the Pope, the church’s doctrines and the U.S. anti-communist propaganda to achieve the purpose of creating turmoil in the major countries of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The Vatican intelligence agencies use the funds of the CIA and the religious beliefs of the Polish public to provide a large amount of printing equipment. , Paper, and information supplies to Poland’s "Solidarity"; in addition, Pope John Paul II directly contacted the Polish Red Bishop, he sent several "special envoys" to Poland and obtained first-hand Polish education from the Polish church. Intelligence; Poland also trained a large number of "Solidarity" members; in order to suppress Soviet intervention in Poland, the United States threatened to provide all advanced weapons to China-the Vatican intelligence agency took the opportunity to find a spokesperson within the Polish government: a deputy of the Polish Ministry of Defense Minister, he later became CIA informant; later, the person in charge of intelligence work in Poland also defected to the United States. Before that, he also maintained contact with the CIA and the Vatican intelligence agencies;
in order to give Polish "Solidarity" fundraising,The Vatican intelligence agency established a foundation through their "Malta Jazz Corps" (under the dual leadership of the Vatican and the CIA) to mobilize donations from the faithful, and then pass the money to the Polish anti-government organizations; in 1989, the turmoil of Romania It is also related to the instigation of the Vatican intelligence agencies;
The main reason for the Vatican’s unrecognized rebellion of the People’s Republic of China in 2000 —The Pope of Rome canonized a group of missionaries and followers who instigated, assisted, and collected intelligence as saints when the West invaded China in modern times—The Vatican’s approach seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people: In the late Qing Dynasty, the Western powers used the excuse of "religious cases" Repeatedly severely violated China's sovereignty!
Moreover, the Holy See has a rule-the Pope is infallible. Therefore, once the Pope issues a "decree", even if the Holy See later realizes that the "decree" is improper, it is impossible to withdraw the "decree" in order to maintain the authority of the Holy See. Therefore, the “saints” who were canonized by the Vatican have become the deadlock between China and the Vatican;
In addition, the Chinese Catholic Church exists in the form of the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association. This principle: Only in terms of religion and culture, it has a inheritance relationship with the Holy See, but it has nothing to do with politics, economy, and personnel appointments-Vatican missionaries and spies cannot enter China for public activities-The Holy See has the highest number of Catholic branches in the world Leadership has also touched the fundamental interests of the Vatican’s intelligence agencies.
