This isn't new. The Vatican under the Black Pope's directive has done this before. Implant people who claim to be "evangelical Christians" all to give true Bible-believing Christians a bad name..and some true Christians have actually been killed over that..

I seem to recall from Age of Empires II that Barbarossa instated an 'Antipope'. And I recall from more reliable (though I also know the previous to be true, though not if the apellation of 'Antipope' is correct) source that during the great Western Schism, there was an alternate papacy instated in Avignon, France. I do not know if one of these is the 'Black Pope' to which you refer.
On a side note, if a pope and an anti pope come into contact, does a chemical reaction occur?
EDIT: Ah, thanks to cool cats.

The Black Pope is the nickname of the Superior General of the Jesuits. The post was taken up by Adolfo Nicolás on January 19, 2008. He comes directly under the power of the Pope, there are rumours that as the head of the Jesuits he has control of most of the secret services in the world (CIA, KGB etc.) and for different periods in history the Black Pope had more political power than the actual Pope.
There is more info on wiki.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Pope
So if they make you look bad, they aren't real Christians, and part of a global conspiracy to keep the REAL Christians down.
Fine. Stop counting them when you wanna boost your numbers, then.
Pope Palpatine the 1st is black? Really? Ohhhh, you don't mean as from African descent. Paranoia much?
As to the rest of your fairy tale, there is no need for anyone to 'plant' people to give you fundies a bad name. You do that quite adequately all on your lonesome.
Wait, how does this work? The Black Pope sends undercover agents to pretend to be non-catholics, then they say something like "Mwahahahaa, watch me perform an act of gross indecency on this item of garden furniture." And everybody becomes a Catholic in protest?
It is this kind of paranoid conspiracy-theory blather that gives bible-believing christians a bad name. Only a few decades ago someone spouting this kind of nonsense would be locked up as delusional and given meds to bring him back to reality.
Too bad that practice has been abandoned...if it hadn't, your life and the lives of everyone you are in contact with would be so much happier.
Why not take it on yourself to visit a qualified shrink? Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to stop being afraid all the time? To feel like you are in control of your own destiny instead of all those evil lurking shadows that follow you everywhere and conspire against you?
Nah...you like being a paranoid lunatic and you delight in frightening others with your delusions, don't you? And visiting a shrink is out of the question because on some level you KNOW he will call you on your game and suggest medications that will change who you perceive yourself to be...and you see that as a bad thing, even if it makes you relatively sane, don't you?
Well, you have a legal right to be a paranoid conspiracy freak, but you don't have a moral right to fuck with other people's minds and drag them into your sick bigoted fantasies. Keep it to yourself, sicko.
Considering their origins as shock troops of the Counter-reformation, the Jesuits are pretty good people -- all about learning and skepticism. They ran my college, and if there's any real hope for the Catholic Church to get its head out of its ass it's with them. I would imagine the fact that they often sort of do their own thing kind of puts them in the same category as the Masons for some people though...
Evangilism breeds insanity. start taking responsibility for your own freaks, the devil, todays world or outside forces do not shape psychotic christians, they're home grown
So does this mean that all the dudes in the back suits wearing shades driving the black vans with the tinted windows, and flying around in the black stealth helicopters are actually Jesuits?
That is such a cool idea.
Hell, lets throw in some Jesuit ninjas, while we're at it. They wear black, too.
Hmmm... I think I feel a plot for a story coming on...
FYI I had to look it upThe Black Pope
So every Christian that does something bad is under directives of this guy eh?
I love how your idea of brotherly love doesn't even extend to your own. No if someone goes against the grain, disown and deny their existence.
Then you wonder why some people have such an ingrained hatred against evangelical Christians.
Nobody claims that the present Pope is black(not just racially, he's not a Jesuit, if that's what you're thinking). Moreover, no Catholic falls under the denomination, by him or herself of "evangelical Christian". Next lie?
Here's a hint, Walter Ballard:
Jack Chick's Alberto comics are NOT an accurate record of the activities of the Catholic Church or the Jesuits.
Sophie : "Black Pope" is a (non-derogatory) nickname for the leader of the Jesuits.
Mr. Ballard here seems to be under the mistaken impression that the Vatican takes orders from the Black Pope, rather than the other way around.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
