Answer 1

There is nothing inscribed on the Pope's miter (hat). Even if there was, it certainly would not be Vicarus Filli Dei, which is grammatically incorrect Latin. Also, you only get 666 if you change the "u" to a "v". Vicarius Filli Dei is an incorrect way of writing "vicar of the son of God", whereas the popes title is "Vicarius Christi", or the vicar of Christ.

However, all this is irrelevant, since contrary to myth, there is no inscription on the pope's hat.

Answer 2

The Papal Tiara and the '666' Myth

One common myth surrounding the papal tiara involves the claim that the words Vicarius Filii Dei exist on the side of one of the tiaras.

The myth centres on the widely made claim that, when numerised (ie, when those letters in the 'title' that have roman numeral value are added together) they produce the number '666', described in the Book of Revelations as the number of the Antichrist.

This claim has been made by some fundamentalist protestant sects who believe that the pope as head of the Roman Catholic Church is the antichrist.

Four definitive sources are sometimes given:
- A protestant woman visiting Rome said she witnessed Pope Gregory XVI wearing a crown with the words on it, in or around 1832;
- Pope Gregory XVI had worn a papal tiara with these words clearly visible on it at a Pontifical High Mass during Easter 1845;
- The 'existence' of a photograph of a papal funeral at the start of the twentieth century (which probably means the funeral of Pope Leo XIII in 1903 but could possibly be Pope Pius X's in 1914) showing the words on a papal tiara.

The tiara (with the words mentioned) is always used to crown popes, but specifically was used in 1939 to crown Eugenio Pacelli as Pope Pius XII.

The claim is demonstrably false.

Whether or not the numerised total of the letters in Vicarius Filii Dei produce the total '666' is irrelevant because no such title actually exists for the papacy or the Holy See.

While the words did feature in the Donation of Constantine (now known to be a forged document) they referred to St. Peter and not subsequent popes.

In 1832, only two tiaras existed; one from the sixteenth century and one, given by Napoleon I to Pope Pius VII in 1804. Neither contain writing.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Not that old Chestnut again!
Seriously though, have you ever seen a photograph of the pope wearing his Bishops Mitre, and examined it carefully to see if it has 666 on it?
In any case, the argument is flawed. Go Back to the verse in Revelation which states that this number will reveal the NAME of a person. Vicarius Fillii Dei is NOT the Pope's name. But if you do further reading you will find that it will reveal other people's names, Adolph Hitler's included if I am not mistaken.
The Christians of that time believed that the person was Nero, who was carrying out a brutal persecution of Christians at that time, but could not be named for fear of even worse treatment of Christians.

Answer 4

Because that is the prophecy of the Bible, as given in Revelation. The position of the pope is the position of the antichrist of Bible prophecy.

Answer 5

I call BS. That is not a papal title and has never appeared on a papal tiara. You are obviously misinformed or lying outright.

Answer 6

I = 12

C = 4
A = 6
N = 2

P = 83
L = 37
A = 3
Y = 48

W = 9
I = 10
T = 46
H = 77

N = 44
U = 90
M = 55
B = 30
E = 2
R = 6
S = 77

T = 5
O = 10
O = 10

It means nothing.

Answer 8

Yes, I have also heard this. Actually I think I read it somewhere.

Answer 9

Because it warns us not to follow this church. He's the Anti-Christ according to all what the Bible says. Most people have followed this church; look what Rev.13:1 says "...and all the world wondered after the beast." What does this mean; will if you seen every domination---they follow the Catholic's teachings which are false(Dan.8:12). This is the image of the Beast. This is what God tells his people that are in 1st Babylon and 2nd Babylon in Rev.18:4 "...Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye not receive her plagues."

Rev.13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
It tells you exactly who the beast is: from the clues in the Bible.

(REV.13:18) on the Pope's Crown (tiara) are these letters: VICARIUS FILII DEI; what do they signify?
OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, (CATHOLIC WEEKLY) BUREAU OF INFORMATION," HUNTINGTON, IND., APRIL 18, 1915.
ROMAN NUMERALS FOR THESE LETTERS ARE: V=5; I=1; C=100; X=10; U=5; D=500; L=50 = THEY ADD UP TO 666.

*Now we have alot of information about the beast; to start out with; we should find out (2THESS.2:4) "who claims to be God" and is "worshipped"?
Let's see; this church (Rev.17:9)"sits on 7 hills" in Rome.
It wears (REV.17:4)"purple and scarlet".
It is a (REV.17:5)"mother church", so it has daughters or other churches following her.
It will think (DAN.7:25)"to change times and laws." GENERAL CATHOLIC CATECHISM
It even has casted "all the truth to the ground" = Dan.8:12
"All the world has followed it" = Rev.13:12-15
*It had a(REV.13:1-3)deadly wound that was healed.

*Daniel 2:32,38; 7:4; 3:1 "Head of Gold" = Lion = Babylon = King Nebuchadnezzar
*Daniel 2:32: 7:5: 5:25-28; 6:28; 8:20 "Breast and Arms of Silver" = Bear = Medo-Persia = King Darius & Cyrus
*Daniel 2:32; 7:6: 8:21 "Belly and thighs of brass" = Leopard = Greece = Alexander the Great
*Daniel 2:33; 7:7,8,24,25: 8:9,12 "Legs of Iron" = Dreadful Beast = Rome
*Daniel 2:33 "Feet part of iron and part of clay" = Divided Empire

**Now the 10 horns represents kings or kingdoms and 1 comes up among the them and destroys (DANIEL 7:8,23,24)three. THE 10 HORNS ARE POLITICAL: ANGLO-SAXONS, FRANKS, ALAMMI, OSTROGOTHS, LOMBARD, SUEVI, BURGUNDIANS, VISIGOTHS, VANDALS, HERULI, AND THEN A LITTLE HORN COMES UPON THE SCENE THAT IS RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL THAT HAS DESTROYED THE HERULI, VANDALS AND OSTROGOTHS. NOW DETERMINING WHO THE HORN IS: A.C. FLICK, THE RISE OF THE MEDIAEVAL CHURCH. (PUTNAM'S 1909 ED.)PP.148-149.

REALLY HIS IMAGE IS GOING TO COME ALIVE! WHEN HE PUTS CHURCH AND STATE TOGETHER. HERE'S JUST A PIECE OF IT IN--"POPE'S DREAM OF HEALING CHRISTIAN RIFT STILL A DISTANT GLIMMER" IN ENTERPRISE RECORD DATED: SUNDAY JUNE 12, 2005.

TO BE SUCH MEANS "AND THE BEAST WAS TAKEN, AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET THAT WROUGHT MIRACLES BEFORE HIM, WITH WHICH HE DECEIVED THEM THAT HAD RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, AND THEM THAT WORSHIPPED HIS IMAGE. THESE BOTH WERE CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE."--REV.19:20

THE SYSTEM IS MADE UP OF:

TRUE CHRISTIANITY VS. FALSE CHRISTIANITY
FOLLOWING JESUS(COL.2:6) OR NOT FOLLOWING JESUS(PHIL.2:21).
THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

Rev.13:16 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive the mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads."
Rev.14:9 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast(Sunday) and his image(teachings of Catholic Church), and receive his mark in his forehead(affections), or in his hand." (Rev.14:9 refraining from labor on THAT DAY). (See Eccles.9:10; Rom.7:25).

The Mark of the beast is 666! To accept the beast's mark is to not accept God's Holy Sabbath Day Saturday as Working on the Sabbath.

ACTUALLY THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND! IT'S VERY SIMPLE REALLY; YOU HAVE TO DO THE OPPOSITE OF IT.
THE OPPOSITE OF THE MARK IS THE "SEAL OF GOD" WHICH IS IN THE 4TH COMMANDMENT(EXOD.20:8-11; REV.14:7). NOW LOOK WHAT REV.7:2-3 SAYS "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA. SAYING, HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS."
SO IF YOU KEEP SATURDAY HOLY(JN.4:22-24) AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST FAITH; YOU WILL HAVE THE(REV.14:12) "SEAL OF GOD".
BUT IF YOU DON'T KEEP HIS DAY(MARK) AND FOLLOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH(IMAGE); HE WILL GIVE YOU THIS(REV.14:9-11).

Evidence: (Catholics know when the seventh day is)
"1. Is Saturday the 7th day occording to the Bible & the 10 Commandments.
"I answer yes.
"2. Is Sunday the first day of the week & did the Church change the 7th day--Saturday---for Sunday, the 1st. day:
"I answer yes.
"3. Did Christ change the day
"I anser no! Faithfully yours,

"Ques.--Which is the Sabbath day?
"Ans.--Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Ques.--Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Ans.--We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."--Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p.50. Geiermann received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius x on his labors, Jan.25,1910.

(Dan.7:25 tells us "he will think to change laws and times")
