Background |
| |
He was by birth an Ostrogoth, the first Germanic pope - a fact now bestowed to his son Boniface in order to conceal yet another Papal dynasty. |
| |
In August 526, Ostragoth King Theodoric the Great died at aged 72. The new nominal Ostragoth King was ten year old Athalaric (526-534), but the real power was Amalasuntha his mother. |
| |
She had he ten year old son King Athalaric summonse Pope John I to the Royal Court where she immediately had him arrested, tortured and then executed. |
| |
She then nominated Felix as the new Pope, even before the clergy and people of Rome had even seen him. A riot ensued with the supporting families of the executed John and it would be at least six weeks before Felix took the Papal throne. |
| |
A devious and ruthless Pope, Felix set about further strengthening the position of the Vatican against the rest of Christianity. |
| |
But his most famous work, a work of almost pure fiction was the Liber Pontificalis- an attempt to create a line of non-existent popes, mixed with dynastic hereditary Papal lines in order to create the impression of Apostolic succession from St Peter until his present day. |
| |
The Liber Pontificalis was a hugely audacious and arrogant work considering Rome remained lower in rank to both Constantinople and Alexandria in terms of Patriarchal status until the 8th Century. In spite of gross historical errors- the Liber Pontificalis is still used by the church today to falsely claim an unbroken succession of Popes. |
| |
Felix also attempted to eliminate the previous riots on Papal nomination by attempting to have his son Boniface II effectively "pre-ordained" as Pope in waiting prior to his death. |
| |
However, the clergy objected to this and upon his death, they elected Dioscorus as Pope at the same time of Boniface II. Boniface protested and King Athalaric arrested Pope Dioscorus and had him executed. |

Of deprivation of basic human rights and justice: (527-565 CE) That the Roman Emperor Justinian not only made the preferred ritual human sacrifice of the ancient Jewish Satanists legal, but established the precedent whereby the assets of a heretic, even an accused heretic could be seized by the state and the church. |

The compilers of the Liber Pontificalis utilized also some historical writings, a number of apocryphal fragments [e.g., the Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions], the Constitutum Sylvestri, the spurious Acts of the alleged 'Synod of the 275 bishops under Sylvester', etc., and the fifth-century Roman Acts of Martyrs. Finally, the compilers distributed arbitrarily along their list of popes a number of papal decrees taken from unauthentic sources; they likewise attributed to earlier popes liturgical and disciplinary regulations of the sixth century. The authors were Roman ecclesiastics, and some were attached to the Roman Court ... in the Liber Pontificalis it is recorded that popes issued decrees that were lost, or mislaid, or perhaps never existed at all. Later popes seized the opportunity to supply a false pontifical letter suitable for the occasion, attributing it to the pope whose name was mentioned in the Liber Pontificalis." |
