For Francesco CarottaFrancesco Carotta is an Italian linguist
and philosopher. After ten years of studyhe brought his findings
together in Was Jesus Caesar? (1999). Though not alwaysseens as a
continuation of the skeptical findings of the Germans in the
nineteenthcentury respecting the implausibility of the New
Testament, what Carotta has doneis to add a sociology to the whole
JudeoRoman period and thereby clarify someresplendent aspects of
our knowledge of it.
***
According to Carotta JC stands for Julius Caesar -- not Jesus
Christ. There is noJesus Christ and there never was one. He is
purely the figment of the Romesimagination as depicted by what
other authors are anxious to demonstrate was thePiso Family. In
some respect Joseph Atwill confirms this thesis and focuses
onFlavian Josephus, a captured Jewish General, who turned Queens
evidence on hisown people, the Jews.
According to Carotta Jesus looks like Caesar, their lives are
congruent, theirfamilies are the same, their respective kinfolk are
peopled with parallelpersonages whose names and locations are the
same or similar. Caesars celebratedvictories become Jesus miracles
(the conversion of savagery into piety!).
Caesars Pompey is Jesus John (the Baptist), Caesars Antonius is
Jesus Simonetc.. Caesars Senate is Jesus Sanhedrim, Caesars Gaul is
Jesus Galilee,Caesars Rubicon is Jesus Jordan, Caesars Rome is
Jesus Jerusalem, etc..
And if Julius had his moll in Cleopatra, Jesus had his moll in
Mary Magdalen.
Names resemble each other in writing as well as phonetically,
Gallia isnt thatdifferent from Galilaia, Nicomedes of Bithynia isnt
that different fromNicodemus of Bethania, and Brutus the murderer
is not that different toBarabbas the murderer, etc.
Moreover, Caesars quotations are lifted by Jesus: He who does
not take sides ison my side becomes For he that is not against us
is for us. Or, again: I am not
King, I am Caesar becomes We have no king but Caesar.
Even in death the two JCs are the same. Caesars death on the
Ides of March , twoperishing days before St Patricks day, becomes
for Jesus the 15th day of Nizam,which in turn confirms the Easter
Vigil.Reading Carotta one has to pinch oneself every so often to
reassure oneself thatone is not reading an extract from James
Joyces Ulysses...
If one had not already become familiar with the literary
techniques employed byJoyce, one might imagine that one was
revisiting the same or a similar work ofart. We are used to the
Joycean device of identifying some scavenging Seagullsover the
Liffey as a reference, also, to Homers Harpies. In much the same
wayFrancesco Carottas indescribable expose has unearthed a vast
array of parallel
references, especially between those few momentous years in
Romes civil war fromthe time when Caesar crosses the Rubicon (49
BC) to his assassination (44 BC), aperiod that is meant to mirror
the Jesus narrative from the Jordan to hiscrucifixion. In this
sense the Gospel is a re-written history of the Roman CivilWar.
What emerges from the comparison, says Carotta, is the fact that
no matterwhat the comparison the same structures and sequences are
found and differencesare reduced to the simple mix up of letters.
What really changes is theperception.

How apt of Joyce, then ,when considering his own country as a
perfect instrumentof the Mediterranean Myth, he writes:
Oh Ireland my first and only loveWhere Christ and Caesar are
hand in glove.
Nothing could be clearer. The whole unmistakable upshot of
Carottas work is that
THE CULT SURROUNDING JESUS IS ACTUALLY THE CULT OF DIVUS
JULIUS
Now where does that leave the Catholics who support the
Infallible One in Rome andthe other millions of Orthodox
Christians, not to mention the unaccountable others, monasteries,
convents, dioceses, parishes, priests and lay people,
individuals,families, groups, nations across the world who have
taken the Divus Julius totheir heart?The work is truly momentous!
But what questions must it give rise to in theChristian breast? Do
they still believe in Jesus? Do they still believe in
thosemiracles: the resurrection (of Caesar), the immaculate
conception, the LastSupper, the changing of water into wine, the
walking on water? Surely not! Andwhat of their lying history, two
millennia practically of spreading the Gospelaccording to their own
rash, unquestioning and unquestionable desires? And what of
all the wealth they have stored up for themselves in all the
lands where they haveensconced themselves, their infinite armies of
nuns, priest and second-ordersecular spies, plants and agents
provocateur? What of their present obdurateposition and those
insulting statements of the Papacy concerning the nature ofJesus,
the disposition of other religions, Christian and non-Christian
alike? Whatof these imperial moral statements of the Papacy, his
Infallibility, hisconcordats, his half-heartedness about war and
his cultural ignorance of otherpeoples? Moreover, what now with all
those world-wide investments in the future ofChristianity, in the
colonizing educational establishments across the world? TheJesuits
alone boast of some 4,000 educational institutions (and JC alone
knowswhat other pokers they have in the world pie!) -- all premised
on spreading thefaith (in Julius Caesar). Should all these
institutions not pack their bags andsimply get out of education at
all levels -- never to return, I might add. And
what about all those Christian appointments in political
establishments with lessrabid convictions than the Poles, the
Irish, the Spanish, the Austrians, thePhilippines, East Timorese,
the Americans, North and South, Australians, Asians,etc.? And what
about all those diplomatic, senatorial and judicial
appointmentseverywhere in the world? Should they not in honesty
resign from their ill-gottenposts? Should they not renounce their
secret societies, like the Opus Dei, theIlluminati, etc.. Should
they not be pointed out in the streets as the purveyorsof lies and
deceits and the inheritors of false witness? Isnt it time for
thehonest atheist who took their whip for so long, especially the
Catholic whip, tocome into the light and point out their
accusers?
ONE THING YOU MIGHT ASK YOURSELF BEFORE LEAVING THIS SUBJECT IS
THIS:
DID THE PAPACY ALWAYS KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD,
WAS IN FACT JULIUSCAESAR, DIVUS JULIUS, SON OF VENUS AND FOUNDER OF
THE ROMAN EMPIRE ?
DID THE PAPACY, FULLY KNOWING THE CHURCHS ORIGINS, CONSCIOUSLY
DECIDE TO CONVERTTHAT CULT- MEMORY INTO THE ONE TRUE HOLY ROMAN
CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH?
