I can't find a reference to Mr. Rodriguez' work.

It seems excessive to claim that all of the first 30 popes were a complete fake, although I can imagine that there might be some historical uncertainty about the popes before Constantine. We seem to owe the list of Popes to Tertullian and Eusebius primarily, who were closer to the events, but were also church propagandists who were concerned about establishing historical links between their own church and Jesus.

I guess Mr. Rodriguez is based on Karlheinz Deschner "Criminal History Of Christendom" Vol.4, page132. There Deschner affirms that the names of bishops of Rome are totally uncertain until year 235 and just figments of imagination during the first decades. He even points to Eusebius as a promoter of those fake lists and gives examples on how the churches of Alexandria and Bizantium just tried to imitate the falsification of lineage that Rome did.

I must have these books but I'm to old to learn German. Is it available in English translation?

Don't think so, Admiral,

just check the guy's site: http://www.deschner.info/index_en.htm

The books seem to be only printed in German, Spanish, Polish and Italian. I read the Spanish version, in fact.
