Cardinal Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone also anagrams to "Reprobate censorial deviation" according to anagramgenius.com

Do you think English is the language of prophecy?

Iscariot, is a corruption of 'sciarri', His proper name in the bible is Simon the Zealot. The Sciarri were a 'terrorist' group within the sect of zealots. The clues are there, but hidden as they were on the top ten most wanted list of Rome.

Yes, there was a band of political assassins known as "סיקריקים", or "sicarii". Their name derives from their bladed weapons of choice--the "sicae".

Whether either Simon the Zealot or Judah Iscariot were part of that particular group is an interesting theory.

Judah Iscariot is also identified as "ish Keriot"--simply, "Judah from the town of Keriot".

Theories like this always sound less credible when all the alternates are laid out side by side.

I wouldn't limit YHWH.

Even if it wasn't YHWH's doing, it could have been purposely motivated by man for reasons unknown.

Yes, and we could have all been planted here by space aliens.

Sometimes, we just have to wear truth and discernment as part of our armor. Focus on that which is truly important, and reject out of hand conspiracy theories for which there is no credible support.

Do you deny that YHWH can speak in any language He wants to?

Now you're changing your own premise. Do you see how you can make any argument mean anything you want by tweaking the foundational assumptions as you go? You have to start with a specific statement, and then determine its truth value while using consistent definitions.

Any ex-Catholics here? Who runs the Vatican or is head of the Catholic church when there is no Pope? Do they have a "second in command", like the vice president of the US, someone to step in for emergencies?

Not at all. My initial statement, which you conveniently failed to quote, was intimately relevant to my last comment:

I wouldn't limit YHWH.

I don’t think there is a Vice Pope, but the former “President” of Vatican City lives near my home in Michigan, Cardinal Edmund Szoka.
So I wonder who makes decisions regarding the church when they are
without a Pope?
