Marranos Everywhere! Christian Kabbalists and the Conquest of the New World - Crypto-Judaism

This article is from a Catholic perspective…

“The Spanish Inquisition and the Expulsion from Spain in 1492, were some of the most pivotal events in modern times.

jewish converts penetrated to Christianity, where they could exact their revenge. jewish Kabbalists became Christian Kabbalists.

When they entered Italy, they fostered the Renaissance, and in Amsterdam, the Northern Renaissance.

Luther established Protestantism, creating a schism that permanently removed large sections of Christian Europe from Catholic Control.

Rosicrucians cultivated the career of the foremost false prophet and jewish apostate: Sabbatai Zevi.

Leaving from the Netherlands, these secret Rosicrucians, known to American history as the “Pilgrims”, [puritans, probably some pilgrims too] set sail for the New World via England, where they hoped to found a new Masonic experiment, known as The New Atlantis.

In 1290, King Edward issued a decree to have all jews expelled from England. All the crowned heads of Europe then followed his example.

France expelled the jews in 1306. In 1348 Saxony followed suit. In 1360 Hungary, in1370 Belgium, in 1380 Slovakia, in 1420 Austria, in 1444 the Netherlands.

As in other parts of Europe, violent persecution had been growing in Spain and Portugal, where in 1391, hundreds of thousands of jews had been forced to convert to Catholicism.

Publicly, the jewish converts known as Marranos, and also as Conversos, were Christians but secretly they continued to practice judaism. [another term is anusim]

While secret conversion of jews to another religion during the Spanish inquisition is the most known example, as Rabbi Joachim Prinz explained in The Secret jews, “jewish existence in disguise predates the Inquisition by more than a thousand years.”

There were also the examples of the first Gnostic sects, which comprised of Merkabah mystics who entered Christianity.

Likewise, in the seventh century, the Quran advised the early Muslim community, “And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will abandon their religion."

As demonstrated by Louis I. Newman in jewish Influences on Christian Reform Movements, a similar tendency can be attributed to the advent of Catharism and eventually to Protestantism and other Christian heresies.

The Cathars, also known as the Albigensians, were a Gnostic sect of the thirteenth century who worshipped Lucifer. Their influence extended to the legends of the Holy Grail, by way of the Templars, and thereby to Rosicrucianism and Freemasonsy.

In his denunciation the heresy, Adversus Albigenses, Lucas of Tuy, a Spanish monk, noted:

“The secular heads and judges of the cities hear the doctrines of heresy from jews whom they number among their familiars and friends… They teach other jews to propose their blasphemies against Christians, in order that they can thus pervert the Catholic faith.

All the synagogues of the malignant jews have patrons, and they placate the leaders with innumerable gifts, and seduce by gold the judges to their own culture…”

Marranos joined orders like the Franciscans, Dominicans and Discalced Carmelites, where their prophetic eschatology was often branded as heresy.

The Discalced Carmelites were established in 1593 by two Spanish saints, Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint John of the Cross.

John of the Cross was born Juan de Yepes y Alvarez, into a Marrano family. John’s mystical theology is influenced by the Neoplatonic tradition of pseudo-Dionysus, a Christian theologian and philosopher of the late fifth to early sixth century.

The author pseudonymously identifies himself as the figure of Dionysius the Areopagite, the Athenian convert of the apostle Paul.

The Dionysian mystical teachings were universally accepted throughout the East, amongst both Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians, and also had a strong impact in later medieval western mysticism, most notably Meister Eckhart.

Based upon preliminary reports made by members of the Discalced Carmelite mission in Basra during the sixteenth century, the Mandaeans of Iraq are called “Christians of Saint John.”

Often identified with the Sabians, the source of the occult teachings of the Ismailis, which were reportedly transmitted to the Templars.

For this reason, the Mandeans were the “Eastern Mystics” of Rosicrucian legend, who later became the basis of the Sabbatean sect of the Asiatic Brethren.

Teresa of Avila’s paternal grandfather, Juan Sánchez de Toledo, was a Marrano. During a bout of severe illness, Teresa experienced periods of religious ecstasy.

Around 1556, when various friends suggested these were diabolical, her confessor, the Jesuit Saint Francis Borgia, reassured her of their divine inspiration.

The House of Borgia, an Italo-Spanish noble family, which rose to prominence during the Italian Renaissance, was widely rumored to be of Marrano origin.

The Borgias became prominent in ecclesiastical and political affairs in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, producing two popes:

Pope Callixtus III during 1455–1458, and Pope Alexander VI, during 1492–1503. Especially during the reign of Alexander VI, they were suspected of many crimes, including adultery, incest, simony, theft, bribery, and murder, especially by arsenic poisoning.

Marranos were also involved in the creation of the order of the Jesuits. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits in 1534, had been a member of a heretical sect known as the Alumbrados, meaning “Illuminated,” which was composed mainly of Conversos. […]

As revealed by Robert Maryks, in The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of jews, Loyola’s successor Diego Laynez was a Marrano, as were many Jesuit leaders who came after him.

In fact, Marranos increased in numbers within Christian orders to the point where the papacy imposed “purity of blood” laws, placing restrictions on the entrance of New Christians to institutions like the Jesuits.“ […]

Conquistadors

Pere Bonnin, after studying a list of 3,500 names resulting from a census of jewish communities of Spain by the Catholic Church and as found in Inquisition records, cited the jewish origin of historically prominent figures Christopher Columbus, Hernan Cortes, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra and many others.

The two most famous conquistadors were Cortes who conquered the Aztec Empire, and Francisco Pizarro who led the conquest of the Incan Empire.

They were second cousins born in Extremadura, where many of the Spanish conquerors were born.

_______________________

When Cortes first conquered Mexico for Spain in 1521, he did so with a number of secret jews amongst his men.

Catholic religious orders that participated and supported the exploration, evangelizing and pacifying, were mostly Dominicans, Carmelites, Franciscans and Jesuits.

After the expulsion, many Sephardic jews migrated to the Netherlands, France and eventually Italy, from where they joined other expeditions to the Americas.

By the late sixteenth century, organized jewish communities were founded in the Portuguese colony of Brazil, the Dutch Suriname and Curaçao, Spanish Santo Domingo, and the English colonies of Jamaica and Barbados.

In addition, there were unorganized communities of jews in Spanish and Portuguese territories where the Inquisition was active, including Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Peru.

The jews were far more significant in the earliest exploration, settlement and development of the Caribbean and South America than has previously been acknowledged.

__________________________

Several jewish communities in the Caribbean, Central and South America flourished, particularly in those areas under Dutch and English control, which were more tolerant.

jewish ships plying the Atlantic carried such names as the Mazel Tov or Bekeerde Jood (converted jew), according to Dr. Wim Klooster, a Dutch historian.

Ed Kritzler's best-seller jewish Pirates of the Caribbean, recounts the tales of Jewish pioneers like the pirate Moses Cohen Henriques, who was the scourge of the Spanish treasure fleet, and his brother Abraham.

By the mid-seventeenth century, the largest jewish communities in the Western Hemisphere were located in Suriname and Brazil.

By the early eighteenth century, half the European population of Suriname, then a territory of the Netherlands, was jewish.

Dr. Anita Novinsky, a professor of history at the University of San Paulo, estimated that in the region around Rio de Janeiro and the state of Bahia, Marranos constituted 20 percent of the European population by the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

That number rose to 50 percent in the Paraiba region near Recife, the heart of the lucrative sugar trade.

Archaeologist Hugo Ludeña raised the possibility that the conquistador Francisco Pizarro was actually of Marrano origin, from a peculiar Hebrew symbol found in the ossuary of Pizarro.

For almost a century, the mummified remains of Pizarro were on display in a glass casket in the Cathedral of Lima, Peru.

However, in the 1970s, an ossuary was found which the scientific community determined to contain the bones of Pizarro.

Ludeña determined that the engraved on the lid of the ossuary, which featured three crossed ellipses locked in a circle, was a jewish symbol, following the funeral rites of the family.”
