The altar, the rostrum and the tabernacle

Altar is the table in the sanctuary where the Sacrifice of the Mass is offered. Take a closer look at the protruding line a little lower from the edges of the table.

Rostrum is the platform where the Scriptures are read and the homilies delivered. Take a look at the same motif of the protrusion.

Tabernacle is the safe where Consecrated Host is stored. Look at the protrusion that follows the form of the built-in stand -- now a clear semi-Masonic insignia.

The pentagram and phallic symbols

What are the four stars doing above the roof of San Pablo Parish Church of the Archdiocese of Davao? All four stars each in a circle and painted black are clustered, every star facing each of the four cardinal directions or compass points -- east, west, north and south. The circled star, according to signs and symbols, is called the pentagram or the pentacle, the standard symbol for witchcraft, freemasonry and many other pagan or occult activities. Pentagram represents the four classical elements -- earth, wind, fire and water -- and "the spirit surrounding them."

The word obelisk literally means "Baal's shaft" or "Baal's organ of reproduction" -- in other words, phallus or phallic symbol. In the Bible, Baal was a Canaanite god of fertility and thunderstorm, often portrayed as the chief enemy of the God of the Israelites. The "sacred pillars" of the Old Testament [Exodus 23:24, for one] are sometimes translated as obelisks. Are the sacred pillars of old being revived today?
