I realize it will not change your mind but for those who do appreciate facts I will respond with my "homework":
The Oxford English Dictionary defines conspiracy theory as "the theory that an event or phenomenon occurs as a result of a conspiracy between interested parties; spec. a belief that some covert but influential agency (typically political in motivation and oppressive in intent) is responsible for an unexplained event". It cites a 1909 article in The American Historical Review as the earliest usage example,[34][35] although it also appeared in print as early as April 1870.[36]
But I do find it rather humorous that the phrase "conspiracy theory" has it's own conspiracy theory.
Also this is rather telling:
Conspiracy theories resist falsification and are reinforced by circular reasoning: both evidence against the conspiracy and an absence of evidence for it are re-interpreted as evidence of its truth,[6][7] whereby the conspiracy becomes a matter of faith rather than something that can be proved or disproved.[8][9] Research suggests that conspiracist ideation—belief in conspiracy theories—may be psychologically harmful or pathological[10][11] and that it is correlated with psychological projection, paranoia and Machiavellianism.[12] Psychologists attribute finding a conspiracy where there is none to a mental phenomenon called illusory pattern perception.[13][14]
Apophenia (/æpoʊˈfiːniə/) is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things.[1] The term (German: Apophänie) was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad in his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia.[2] He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness".[3][4] He described the early stages of delusional thought as self-referential, over-interpretations of actual sensory perceptions, as opposed to hallucinations.[1][5]
Apophenia has come to imply a human propensity to seek patterns in random information, such as gambling

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment
It's already happening. Remember when Amy Coney Barrett used the words "sexual preference" during her confirmation hearing? Immediately after that, Webster's dictionary changed the definition of "preference" after Senator Mazie Hirono said the term was "offensive".

Where did you get the idea that there was no Pope or Vatican between the end of the 18th Century
1929? If you check out Wikipedia you will find a very detailed account of every Pope that existed from St Peter onwards. The only time that there was no Pope at the Vatican was for a period of about six months. In 1775 Napoleons troops stormed the Vatican and took Pius V1 prisoner. The Pope made a bad choice of condemning the French revolution and died in exile in 1799. From August 1799 until March 1800 there was no specifically recognised pope. Here is a list of Popes around during the period you claim there were none.
Pius V1 1775 - 1799, Pius V11 1800 -1823 Leo X11 1823 - 1829 Pius V111 1829 -1830
Gregory XV1 1831 Pius 1X 1846 - 1878 Leo X 1878 - 1903 Pius X 1903 - 1914
Benedict XV 1914 - 1922 Pius X1 1922 - 1939 Pius X11 1939 - 1958
So why would the world be astonished when Mussolini gave the Vatican lands back to the RCC
Martin Luther was the first Protestant. But he protested against corruption within the Catholic
Church. He had no intention of forming a new denomination.
You are right in saying that Ribera popularised the idea that everything about the Beast and
the last days were set in the distant future at the behest of the Pope but these beliefs were current
centuries before and were held by some of the Church Fathers. The view is also expressed in the Didache which is viewed as one of the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament.

Napoleon and the papacy had quite a large number of disagreements. Tracking these and making sense of them can be a difficult task according to Edward Sheehan of the New York Times who wrote about that period. But Mr. Sheehan's task wasn't undertaken for the purpose of validating Biblical prophecy. He just wanted to make sense out of a can of worms.
The basic points of what I'm referring to are these: Napoleonic arrest of a sitting pope (Pius VI), who then died in prison (head wound of Revelation 13) and subsequent restoration of Vatican property by the Lateran Treaties of 1929 established by Benito Mussolini (healed head wound).
1- Revelation 13 head wound.
In December 1797 a riot took place in Rome and a Brigadier General that had been sent to Rome by Napoleon as part of the diplomatic mission, was killed. Napoleon then sent forces to Rome, defeated the papal forces around Pope Pius VI, and had him transported to Valence where he died shortly after his arrival. (The previous is a quote from an historic document. Pius VI actually died in 1799, not exactly a short time in prison.)
The political situation in France was in flux. Students of French history, as well as those who monitor the succession of popes, will usually get a thumbnail view of those events. Things moved very rapidly, but the bottom line is that Pius VI DID die in prison.
The head of the Sea Beast thus suffered a mortal wound as predicted by Revelation 13.
2-Revaltion 13 head wound healed.
The Lateran Treaty, also called Lateran Pact of 1929, treaty (effective June 7, 1929, to June 3, 1985) was established between Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and the papacy. Actually this was a series of treaties, but I digress. The Lateran Treaty/Pacts had three parts;
a: political treaty (giving the Vatican its own micro-state) or re-birth of Catholic political power lost by previous Papal arrest
b: financial convention (giving the Vatican reparations) - which enabled the establishment of the Vatican Bank (*)
c: a concordat (giving privileges within Italy, for instance by letting the Church influence public education)
The horn of the Sea Beast was thus healed exactly as Revelation predicted it would.
It is difficult to sift through history to discover these gems mostly because historians don't generally pay attention to parallels between history and Biblical prophecy. Notations about church history is about as close as they get and that can be pretty convoluted at times.
Dig for yourself - and by the way, please try to use some references in addition to Wikipedia. It's good, but it isn't complete as a professor I knew at the college once told me. Wikipedia is also subject to government regulation. By that I mean CIA influence. For instance, I am aware of a certain coup d'etat in South America during the early 1970's that directly involved the US military. Wikipedia denies it happened, but I was there - personally.
One cannot use Wikipedia as the sole source of information. It is limited in scope.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
(*) The Vatican Banks' actual name is The Institute for the Works of Religion. It's a privately owned and operated financial institution independent of Italian government regulation. This bank has come under scrutiny in recent years because it's been known to have been used by certain individuals and groups outside the church for private enterprises (the Mafia as well as certain intelligence agencies).

Ignorance invites education.
Whether or not that education is accepted depends upon the person receiving it....or their ability to understand it.
Some people prefer to remain ignorant and anti-semitic.
The Bible is full of educational material about the role of Jews in salvation. Modern post protestants, who hate Jews and take every occasion to spit upon their legacy and stomp it into the dirt, deny it. Millions of murdered Jews are a testament to this fact.
The church has been the greatest persecutor of Jews in history. Not even the Muslim hordes have killed as many Jews as the church. Christians have an ocean of blood on their hands. To this day they deny the truth of history.
That which you call propaganda and which you deny will come back to haunt you one day. One could hope that day would happen for you before you meet the Christ WHO IS ONE OF THE JEWS YOU HATE.

The term 'conspiracy theory' wasn't in common use in the United States prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.
Conspiracies were and are a common aspect of American politics. US history is replete with them. The assassination of President Lincoln is one of them. It's one that stands out in the minds of most folks.
A conspiracy involving the government isn't generally one of them, but it happened for the first time in 1933 and was called the Business Plot. It was an attempt by certain financial institutions, as well as the New York Times, to overthrow then president Franklin D. Roosevelt. The grandfather of President George W. Bush was one of the conspirators. Kennedy's assassination, as well as 911, are other examples - sponsored at least in part by American intelligence agencies.
The term conspiracy theory wasn't invented by the US intelligence agencies, but it was used to good advantage to cover or confuse their role in these matters. Consider that facts, which support their involvement, have been suppressed by direct intervention (when VP Cheney halted a congressional investigation into 911) or by mockery in the media (manipulated by the CIA (*))
The extent of the reach of those opposed to the free exchange of information and opinion have so extended their reach into American society that even members of congress are no longer immune to the pressure they can bring to bear. Silence and censorship is the rule today.
A new dark age is upon America. The enjoyment of liberty is being squelched and the rule of idiocy and fools is now paramount.
May God have mercy upon us who know Christ.
IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE THE UNITED STATES HE WILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

I received my second Pfizer COVID vaccine today. It was given at a Tampa free clinic in Tampa near Raymond James stadium where the Super Bowl will be played in a couple days.
They’ve got a football carnival set up over there called The Super Bowl Experience. It’s basically a siphon to take money from suckers who can’t get in to see the real game. Tickets for this con job are so expensive the web site won’t divulge the co$t. True American capitalism at work. Cars were lined up all down the road this morning, waiting for a chance to get in and pay out real money for toys and games (but no ride except the one they take to the cleaners).
I suffered no ill effects from the 1st shot. They tell me to expect something this time, though. Maybe, we’ll see. I thank God for the opportunity to get the vaccine when so many are screaming for it and waiting absurd amounts of time for none at all.
"Love your neighbor as yourself," the Lord once said. Taking precautions isn't just for one's self. It's a boost for the rest of the community too.

However you choose to interpret Bible Prophecy my main aim was to disprove your plain statement that the Papacy did not exist between the end of the eighteenth century and 1929
I could probably have used a number of other on line sources if I had the time and inclination but
I suspect you would put forward some other objections to them as well. Its pointless for me to continue this discussion with you.

To think, we are almost a year into this pandemic. When will the plandemic come to an end. There so are many false positive results being given which results in the shedding of innocent blood and death not related covid are counted as covid19 death. If these reports were accurate we would be living our normal lives again. But these false positive infections has made innocent people to succumb to lies. Wave after wave. We are in 2nd wave and now they are talking about 3rd wave and fourth wave. Mutation of virus within such a short amount of time, in such small space of months. I absolutely don't believe the science. This science has been going in 360 degree circle, and caused more harm than just the lost of life. And now we have to deal with vaccines. It is obvious the media, will not attribute the vaccine to any of the causes for the deaths of the elderly and other healthy persons that took the inoculation. I heard of reports, that some health officials are afraid of taking the second dose because of the adverse effects they experienced from the frist dose. And these were from officials which were considered healthy. And the government won't admit that the experimental vaccines they have approve are actually dangerous and cannot go back on their word, because it has already been paid. Billions of dollars is spend on poison. There is no going back on it. It will be suicidal of the government to admit now they should continue with the lie.

You are entitled to your opinion. I wonder where you get your information from. Have you been in a Hospital ward where Corvid 19 patients are being treated? I have relatives who work in such places. Are they all liars? The main objection I have is that the more people who listen and believe in all these conspiracy theories are actually helping to spread it by misleading the gullible. I think that those who are so convinced that its all some devious Government plot should volunteer to work in the Hospitals and Care Homes where the' fictional virus and useless vaccines' are present after all they believe its all a Government plot so they should have nothing to worry about.

I would do volunteering any day to help those in hospitals and nursing homes. But the public are kept away. I am not afraid of contracting the virus. It is a case of most out there being ignorant concerning their body and how it functions. Because according to the law of nature disease cannot be transferred from one individual to another. And the primary cause for disease and sickness does not come from a virus. And by no means am I saying that all nurses and doctors on the ground are all apart of the plot. It would not be possible, then the truth will come out easily. Obviously, the Dr Anthony Fauci, the Gates, The Biden's and Co, The Pope, IMF and the big monopoly companies and the insiders are aware. This small minority has planned everything to the minotaur detail. My observations are that this pandemic is empowered by fear and when the person hear he or she has tested positive it is almost like death sentence for them.
