I read that the Church had inquisitions for the Jєω pretenders. Like Prison. Jєωs were always trying to get to the Popes position. In the City of God, volume 4, once St. Stephen martyred, the Demons went back to hell to have a meeting for new strategies, one being just this. So, Holy Mother Church was on the alert since day one, for pretender Jєωs. Church was said to have said, "We do not protect or support Jєωs".
Question is, when did this stop. I read that after Pius X, this is when it stopped. It being "WE do not protect or support Jєωs". So, the "New church" became quiet, or I wonder if there was pressure, sure, why not.
