  Background
  Jacques was born in Troyes, France.
  At the First Council of Lyon (1245) he attracted the attention of Pope Innocent IV (1243-1254) who sent him on two missions in Germany. One of the missions was to negotiate the Treaty of Christburg between the pagan Prussians and the Teutonic Knights. He became the bishop of Verdun in 1253. In 1255, Pope Alexander IV (1254-1261) made him Patriarch of Jerusalem.
  He was recalled from Jerusalem in 1241 and met with Pope Alexander IV at his hiding place at Viterbo. After a three-month vacancy Pantaléon was chosen by the eight cardinals of the Sacred College to succeed him, on August 29, 1261, taking the name of Urban IV.
  He died in December 1264 and was succeeded by Pope Clement IV (1265-1268).
  Most Evil Crimes
 
 List of most evil crimes
Type Year Crime
    Of publishing a false document/statement (1264): That Pope Urban IV did knowingly and deliberately provide personally to Thomas Aquinas in 1264 a body of work known as Thesaurus Graecorum Patrum (Thesaurus of Greek Fathers) knowing it to be fraudulent in which a great number of alleged genuine quotes of Early quotes of church fathers were listed including Cyril of Jerusalem, John Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria and Maximus the Abbott being ficticious characters created by the Pope and the Catholic Church which Aquinas unknowingly then used in large believing the text to be genuine part to form the basis of his defence of the papacy in the work Against the Errors of the Greeks.
    Of moral indecency and depravity of historic nature: (1262) That Pope Urban IV did issue a new church law officially absolving Inquisitional torturers of their crimes and furthermore granting them authority to absolve each other from bloodshed by cursing their victims souls to Satan. Not only is this a supremely evil order unprecedented in history, it also further reveals the satanic nature of Christianity and the operation of the Papacy.
  Of unprecedented heresy against its own spiritual texts: (1262) That Pope Urban IV did openly and deliberately commit heresy of an unprecedented nature in granting absolution for supremely evil acts in the name of the Church and furthermore giving greater spiritual power to these evil people than priests (the power to absolve one another from mortal sins). This law effectively ended any claim of credibility of the Roman Catholic Church to believing and/or following the teachings of the New Testament. Furthermore, this unprecedented evil was not repealed as part of the repudiation of torture at the beginning of the 20th Century, meaning the Vatican still absolves those of supreme evil in its name.
