The Roots of Rebellion by Ellen G. White

The Roots of Rebellion erupts from the fertile soil of profound discontent, self-determination and insatiable striving for liberty and power. Originating from the clash of two ancient kingdoms and unfurling at the world's spiritual epicentres, this book declares the virulent and intractable enmity to truth; resulting in embattled sequels of tyranny and revolution and outbreaks of hostility and persecution, all yielding the bitter fruit of anarchy. The mystery of rebellion dominates the seats of government and rages in the hearts of humankind. Flourishing into mature, passionate and intrepid subversion, the instruments of rebellion construct and establish an order of chaos and coercion; commanding universal compliance and cooperation. As it effectively enlightens on the secret underpinnings of one world government and hegemonic imperialism, the reader is armed to encounter and counter the greatest deception of all time.

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Roots</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rebellion</strong><br />

Appendix<br />

General Notes for <strong>The</strong> <strong>Roots</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rebellion</strong><br />

Page 50. Titles.--In a passage which is included in the Roman Catholic Canon<br />

Law, or Corpus Juris Canonici, Pope Innocent III declares that the Roman pontiff is<br />

"the vicegerent upon earth, not <strong>of</strong> a mere man, but <strong>of</strong> very God;" and in a gloss on the<br />

passage it is explained that this is because he is the vicegerent <strong>of</strong> Christ, who is "very<br />

God and very man." See Decretales Domini Gregorii Papae IX (Decretals <strong>of</strong> the Lord<br />

Pope Gregory IX), liber 1, de translatione Episcoporum, (on the transference <strong>of</strong><br />

Bishops), title 7, ch. 3; Corpus Juris Canonici (2d Leipzig ed., 1881), col. 99; (Paris,<br />

1612), tom. 2, Decretales, col. 205. <strong>The</strong> documents which formed the Decretals were<br />

gathered <strong>by</strong> Gratian, who was teaching at the University <strong>of</strong> Bologna about the year<br />

1140. His work was added to and re-edited <strong>by</strong> Pope Gregory IX in an edition issued in<br />

1234. Other documents appeared in succeeding years from time to time including the<br />

Extravagantes, added toward the close <strong>of</strong> the fifteenth century. All <strong>of</strong> these, with<br />

Gratian's Decretum, were published as the Corpus Juris Canonici in 1582. Pope Pius<br />

X authorized the codification in Canon law in 1904, and the resulting code became<br />

effective in 1918.<br />

For the title "Lord God the Pope" see a gloss on the Extravagantes <strong>of</strong> Pope John<br />

XXII, title 14, ch. 4, Declaramus. In an Antwerp edition <strong>of</strong> the Extravagantes, dated<br />

1584, the words "Dominum Deum nostrum Papam" ("Our Lord God the Pope") occur<br />

in column 153. In a Paris edition, dated 1612, they occur in column 140. In several<br />

editions published since 1612 the word "Deum" ("God") has been omitted.<br />

Page 50. Infallibility.--On the doctrine <strong>of</strong> infallibility as set forth at the Vatican<br />

Council <strong>of</strong> 1870-71, see Philip Schaff, <strong>The</strong> Creeds <strong>of</strong> Christendom, vol. 2, Dogmatic<br />

Decrees <strong>of</strong> the Vatican Council, pp. 234-271, where both the Latin and the English<br />

texts are given. For discussion see, for the Roman Catholic view, <strong>The</strong> Catholic<br />

Encyclopedia, vol. 7, art. "Infallibility," <strong>by</strong> Patrick J. Toner, p. 790 ff.; James Cardinal<br />

Gibbons, <strong>The</strong> Faith <strong>of</strong> Our Fathers (Baltimore: John Murphy Company, 110th ed.,<br />

1917), chs. 7, 11. For Roman Catholic opposition to the doctrine <strong>of</strong> papal infallibility,<br />

see Johann Joseph Ignaz von Doellinger (pseudonym "Janus") <strong>The</strong> Pope and the<br />

Council (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1869); and W.J. Sparrow Simpson,<br />
