Two Popes Praying To The Black Madonna

Today, two popes of the Catholic Church, living at the same time in Rome, were praying to a Black Madonna in the Vatican, together, before the press. Times have changed but the reality remains the same. There is a historic power in praying to THE BLACK MADONNA too.

The image below is stock of the room where the historic prayer session happened, forgiveness and truth in action.  



The dynamic author Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian, Humanitarian and Honorary Nigerian Chief, in his powerful book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY, tells the truth-story in the chapter "After Christ' he has an image of this statue of Saint Peter that stands at the Vatican too. 


BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY, tells the truth-story about the Black Madonna in the chapter "After Christ" pg 56-58 .pdf and paperback:   

THE BLACK MADONNA

Isis was a Black African goddess of Nile Valley civilizations whose worship eventually diffused to most of the ancient world. Isis was worshiped by the Nubians well over 300 years before the first Egyptian dynasty.  The Egyptians then gave the Isis religion to Greece, Rome, and western Asia. Gerald Massey says that the religious records of all the world’s religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity are nothing more than copies of the religious records of the Black goddess Isis, her son Horus, and her husband Osiris. For example, Horus was the first child born from a virgin mother's immaculate conception, and he was said to have walked on water just as Jesus later did. The Black goddess Isis is also credited with resurrecting Osiris after he was murdered.

The first "Black Madonna and Child" statutes and portraits were of Isis and Horus, and these were taken throughout the world by the Roman Empire. When other religions became more popular, these statues were not destroyed, but simply had their names changed. In India, Isis and Horus became Maya and Buddha in Buddhism or Devaki and Krishna in Hinduism. The Chinese called Isis Kwa-yin, and the Japanese changed the name to Kwannon.

In his 1985 book entitled "The Cult of the Black Virgin", Ean Begg was able to identify over 450 images of a Black virgin and child in Europe with over 190 statutes in France alone. J. A. Rogers says that Paris was actually named for Isis because Para-Isis means "Place of Isis." He also says that Note Dame means "Our Lady" and that the cathedral is nothing more than an enlargement of the original Isis temple.

Millions of pilgrims visit the Black Madonna shrines annually because they are believed to possess magical powers, although the statues are now called Mary and Jesus. It is believed that only the Black statues are magical and all pilgrimages stopped whenever the statues were painted white. The Black Madonnas have been credited with healing towns of plagues, bringing dead babies to life, making infertile women pregnant, and saving nations during wars. Many crutches have been left at the feet of the Black Madonnas, who presumably gave their owners the power to walk. One of the most devoted pilgrims of the Black Madonna shrine in Poland was Pope John Paul II. He prayed to her image while recovering from his gun shot wound. She is credited with thousands of documented miracles including saving Poland from Russia in 1769. In 1968 alone, the Black Madonna shrine in Poland received over 66,000 thank you letters for healing and other miracles. Pilgrims frequently leave gold watches and rings at the feet of the Black Madonnas in appreciation.

Church literature absolutely refuses to acknowledge any association of Black Madonnas with Africa. Church officials claim that the Madonnas are Black because of smoke from candles and from dirt and old age. Church officials would never admit that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans made pilgrimages until 536 A.D. to the Isis temple at Philae, Egypt to seek the same miracles that current pilgrims seek from the Black Madonna shrines. Isis was recognized as a supreme miracle and magic worker and is also credited with teaching mankind the art of curing disease. Isis was able to restore life to the dead as she did with her husband Osiris and later with the infant Horus, who was brought back to life after he was killed by a scorpion's sting. Isis was the goddess of corn and grain, water and navigation, and even clothing. She was also called a divine granter of salvation for souls of mankind. The ancient Black Egyptians acknowledged Isis as the source of all their prosperity, including the Nile River.

Isis worship was so strong in Europe that Roman citizens ignored Emperors Augustus and Tuberous, who outlawed Isis worship and persecuted her priests. Emperor Caligulia finally bowed to public pressure and re-established the Isis worship. Emperor Justinian caused an unsuccessful armed insurrection in 536 A.D., when he ordered all Isis temples permanently closed.

Religion in general (and the cult of the Black Virgin Madonna in specific) is yet another example of the many elements of civilization and civilizing ideas which were brought from Africa into Europe.

Black Popes

MSNBC said there has never been a Black Pope. That's not true according to the dynamic research done by Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian, Humanitarian and Honorary Nigerian Chief, reported in his book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY!

Black St. Peter in the Vatican

Black Roman Africans made significant contributions to the growth of Christianity and the development of the Roman Catholic faith. The three greatest scholars and founding theologians of Christianity were all Roman Africans including Tetulian, Cyperian, and St. Augustine. However, the greatest contribution was probably made by the three Black popes who were Pope Victor I, Pope Miltiades, and Pope Galasius I.

Pope Victor I was the 14th pope and served from 189 A.D. - 199 A.D. In 189 A.D., the date of Easter was a matter of great controversy. In Asia, Easter was celebrated on the 14th day after the full moon, which meant that some Christians were celebrating lent while others were celebrating resurrection. Pope Victor I declared that Easter would only be celebrated on Sunday and that he would excommunicate all of the Christians of Asia if they failed to abide by his ruling. Easter has been on Sunday ever since. Under the influence of the Black theologian Tetulian, the Black Pope Victor I also declared that Latin would replace Greek as the official language of the Roman church. Both Victor and Tetulian only wrote in Latin thereafter. Pope Victor at the same time that Black Romans controlled the world religiously with Victor and Tetulian, the Black Romans gained control of the world politically and militarily in 193 A.D., when the Black Roman African Septimius Severus became the Roman Emperor. He remembered his roots by making large donations to the urban poor and employing them in extensive building campaigns. The month of September was named after Septimius Severus who was seceded as emperor of the Roman Empire by his Black son Caracalla from 211 A.D. until 217 A.D.


The second Black pope was Pope Miltiades who served from 311 A.D. until 314 A.D. as our 32nd pope. All Christians were persecuted when Miltiades took office until he obtained an edict of toleration signed by Emperor Galerius, which put an end to the great persecutions and allowed the Christians to come out of their catacombs. Pope Miltiades also convinced Emperor Maxentius to return all church buildings and possessions, which had been confiscated during the persecutions. It was also during the reign of Pope Miltiades that the Emperor Constantine was converted to Christianity after he saw the cross in a vision.


Constantine's army marched into Rome in 312 A.D. and overthrew the tyrant Maxentius. He subsequently made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. Miltiades was made a saint with his feast celebrated on December 10th. The Black Roman theologian St. Augustine called Pope Miltiades "an excellent pontiff, a true son of peace, and father of Christians."


The third Black pope was Galasius I, our 49th pope, who took office 492 A.D. (exactly 1,000 years before America was so-called "discovered"). He is described by his contemporaries as "famous all over the world for his learning and holiness." Galasius I was devoted to uplifting the poor and weak and commanded his bishops to donate 25% of their revenue to charity, stressing that "nothing is more becoming to the priestly office than the protection of the poor and the weak."


Pope Galasius I is also credited with ending the pagan ritual of Lupercalia in which young men would dress in skins and strike any woman they met with a whip, which was supposed to confer fertility and to chase away bad luck. He replaced Lupercalia with the "feast of the purification of the blessed virgin" now called "Candlemas". Galasius I is most famous for his firm letter to Emperor Anastasius about the need for independence of church and state. He told the emperor that the world is governed by two great powers: that of the popes and that of kings; but the authority of the popes is so much greater because on judgment day, popes will have to render an account to God for the soul of kings. As were the other two African popes, Galasius I was also made a saint and his feast day is held on November 21st.


Contrary to the belief of those who call Christianity a White man's religion, Christianity was founded with the genius of three Black theologians, and further developed and propelled by devoted contributions from three Black Roman African popes.

Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA article in Morningside Park Chronicle

Dr. LeRoy Vaughn, MD, MBA

The link below is to a really great article on  Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian and Honorary Nigerian African Chief.  The latter title he earned for raising the funds to transport his staff to Africa to do free eye surgeries in Nigeria for people who needed them.  He is a most extraordinary man, and his staff have proven to be equally noble.

California's Dr. Vaughn is also an evolutionary Black History speaker and historian since the 1960's who wrote the book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY.  This breathtaking book covers the subject from ancient times to the late 20th Century.

From The Morningside Park Chronicle 

"Inglewood is home to one of the most renowned ophthalmologists and Black historians. Until now, many people may not have been aware of his presence. Dr. Leroy William Vaughn practices eye care at 323 North Prairie Ave, Suite 217 in Inglewood 90301. He is a diabetic eye specialist and well known for his work regarding glaucoma too. He has received many awards over the years, one of which was from former President Bill Clinton thanking him for his service to patients.

Dr. Vaughn has acquired many titles over the years: doctor, historian and African Chief. He received a Bachelors of Science degree at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, before going on to acquire a medical degree at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. He interned at North Carolina Memorial Hospital and never ceased to slow in his practices once he started. So how did Dr. Vaughn become such a dynamic person?

A part of this story started in the 1990s. He was recognized in the field of history for his 2002 book, Black People And Their Place In World History. He has been studying black history since the 1960s and is very knowledgeable in black people’s true place in history."

Foreward By Brad Pye, Jr. Black People..., Vaughn


From the book that is causing change in people's lives, BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY, by Dr. Leroy Vaughn, Foreward by Brad Pye, Jr.

"Leroy William Vaughn M.D., M.B.A. is not only one of the world’s renowned ophthalmologists, but also one of the leading authorities on Black history.  Basketball is Michael Jordan’s game.  Black history and ophthalmology are Dr. Vaughn’s games.  Dr. Vaughn’s medical credentials and expertise as a diabetic eye specialist and as a remarkable surgeon make him one of the leading practitioners in his field.  His knowledge as an historian is equally as outstanding.

 Dr. Leroy Vaughn
MD, MBA, Historian, Humanitarian
Honorary Nigerian, African Chief

Dr. Vaughn’s patients swear by him for his medical skills.  Historians marvel at him because of his talents as a researcher and writer on the subject of Black history.  As a lecturer, he’s one of the most in-demand speakers in the nation.  Like magic, Dr. Vaughn can rattle off facts on Black history like an orator recites a speech he has practiced on delivering for days.  When it comes to reciting the roles Black people have played in world history, Dr. Vaughn has dazzled some of the most learned minds in America.
Confirmation of this fact can be found on the pages of this in-depth study on the subject.  For instance, did you know that a Black man with only a sixth grade education named Garrett Morgan invented the first traffic signal, the gas mask, and marketed the G. A. Morgan Refining Cream, which was the first hair straightening product?  Did you know that Garrett Morgan made so much money from his hair cream that he was able to purchase an automobile? In fact, traffic congestion while driving his new car was motivation for Morgan’s traffic signal invention.
Did you know that in 1721 an African slave named Onesimus taught his “master” the age-old African technique for smallpox inoculation in which a pustule from an infected person was ruptured with a thorn and then used to puncture the skin of a normal person?  Did anyone ever tell you that the original Haitians were called the Arawaks or Tainos before Christopher Columbus and that they were very generous and could swim long distances?  Did you know that George Franklin Grant, a Black man, invented the golf tee in 1898 and patented it a year later?  Grant, one of the first two African American graduates of the Harvard Dental School, took a liking to golf.  He invented the golf tee because he didn’t like the way golfers had to mix dirt and water to make a mud mound for teeing off.  Did anyone ever tell you that a Black man named John Lee Love invented the Love Pencil Sharpener in 1897, the kind most first-graders take to school today?
Did anyone ever tell you that Dr. Charles Richard Drew was the discoverer of successful blood plasma storage techniques that made blood banks possible?  In 1941, the American Red Cross appointed Dr. Drew as the director of its first blood bank.  Did anyone ever tell you that the collective contributions of Black Americans to science is so extensive that it is not possible to live a full day in any part of the United States, or the world for that matter, without sharing in the benefits of their contributions in such fields as: biology, chemistry, physics, space and nuclear science?  Well, if you didn’t know these things, then keep on reading, and Dr. Vaughn will tell you about these and hundreds of other facts about Black history.
Other inventions patented by African Americans include the folding lawn chair, the doorstop, the ironing board with collapsible legs, and the bottle cap.  In fact, there’s a long list of inventions made by Blacks during an age dominated by Whites.  If Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Elgin Baylor had been born in the 18th or 19th century, we would never have known their names because of the concerted effort not to acknowledge the accomplishments of Black people.
Dr. Vaughn didn’t just decide to write a book on Black history.  This has been his passion and his life’s mission!  Academically, Dr. Vaughn has the knowledge and the talents to make his life’s work a reality on the pages of this book.  Dr. Vaughn was rooted and grounded in Black history as a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1969 after a two-year premedical study tour at the University of Vienna in Austria.  In addition to Dr. Vaughn, Morehouse College has produced some of the most prominent and learned scholars in the world including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., U.S. Surgeon General Dr.David Satcher, and Dr. Charles Finch.  Dr. Benjamin Mays, one of the world’s most noted educators and a mentor to Dr. King, was president of Morehouse College from 1950 until 1967, and set an extremely high standard for all Morehouse graduates.
Medically speaking, Dr. Vaughn is tops in his field.  He received his medical degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, where he also received the Franklin C. McClain Award in 1972 as the most outstanding Black medical student in the nation.  He interned at the Department of Medicine in Chapel Hill, NC, and completed his ophthalmology fellowship and research training at Harvard University’s Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital in 1979.  Dr. Vaughn was certified as a Diplomat of the American Board of Ophthalmology in 1978 after scoring in the top three percentile nationally on the written examination.  Moreover, he was named as an Associate Examiner for the American Board of Ophthalmology’s oral examinations in 1984.
In addition to a brilliant scholar, Dr. Vaughn is also a community leader.  For giving his time and his talents to the community, he was honored by the late Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, L.A. County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, the State of California, and the Aesculapian Honorary Society et al.
Dr. Vaughn’s book should not only be required reading for Blacks, but for all people.  Most of society still believes what historian Arnold Toynbee wrote in his 1934 history book: “It will be seen that when we classify mankind by color, the only primary race that has not made a creative contribution to any civilization is the Black race.”  Dr. Vaughn sets the record straight on this lie and on so many other untruths about Black history.
Vernon E. Jordan better known as a civil rights fighter, businessman, lawyer, and “first friend” of President Bill Clinton vividly illustrates the essence of Dr. Vaughn’s book when he wrote in his book entitled “Vernon Can Read! A Memoir:” “Black people have done wonderful things for this country (saved its soul, in fact), and we have been an example to the world in the process.  That should never be forgotten, even as we continue to press ahead, in our many and varied ways, toward our future.  If we did so much when we had so little, think of what we can do now that we have so much more.”
Covered in Dr. Vaughn’s book are the Ancient Period, AfterChrist, After 1492 (Columbus), After 1776 (Independence), After 1865 (slavery), and After 1900 (20th Century).  If you really want to know about “Black People and Their Place in World History” then you should rush out and obtain a copy of Dr. Vaughn’s masterpiece before the sun goes down."
