It's the cross of St. Peter. It symbolizes his martyrdom. When Peter was sentenced to death, he asked that the cross be turned upside down as a symbol.
Yet when people wear the upside down cross they say they wear it to represent Peter. When did we start representing Peter? Peter is a man. Jesus is our Lord and Savior. I’m pretty sure if Peter were here today he would say focus on Jesus Christ, not me. So the upside down cross, to me, is insulting either way. Peter was worthy of a right side up cross to be crucified on. As Jesus was. As we all are worthy, those who follow Christ. Peter requested, and so they gave that to him. But I don’t think anyone should ever say they are unworthy to be like Christ. We all aim to be like Christ. We will fail. But we try.
You're welcome. I mean, these days, anything that was once pure in nature can be turned into something evil. I wouldn't wear a cross upside down and would have to look at it in context of the situation to determine if it's meaning is being misused.
Typically the placement of the cross intersection represents the destination of the spirit. Standard: up for heaven (Jesus ascended), Celtic: center (God with us), Satanic: down (hell). The Catholics ones are representing the crosses of martyrs. The Eastern Orthodox one with the third slanted bar represents the differing fates of those crucified with Jesus. Early crosses and swastikas represent God as creator and source of all things, with the circle and arms of the swastika representing the cycle of the seasons and progress. Cross, and wheel like symbols with six or twelve legs are referring to the zodiac as part of the seasonal cycles.
When the Romans sentenced him to death, Simon Peter demanded he be crucified upside down so it was clear he was not the Savior, Jesus Christ. He thought himself unworthy to die in the same manner.
An upside down cross wasn't always Satanic in Catholic or Orthodox circles. It used to refer to Peter, the Pope.
I'm not Catholic, but it's said St. Peter was crucified upside down because he was "not worthy to be executed the same way as Christ." I've been told that's what it means a few times. The majority in general seem to see the inversion as Satanic.
St. Peter was crucified and said he wasn't worthy to die like Jesus, he was crucified upside down. Which would have greatly accelerated his death. The upside down cross therefore represents Peter. But it still seems an insult to Christ's cross to me, why commemorate Peter over Jesus?
Maybe the Catholic Church should stop using God to hurt people and they would not fear persecution and torture. So many catholic things are idolatry and identical to satanic symbols; funny that is.
It's more like the pagans stole from us, and/or we as Catholics would destroy what the pagans had, reclaim their symbol and use it for good or for Christ. St. Boniface chopping down a pagan tree and converting all those pagans right then and there is a good example.

Probably not,they are rather just subverting the symbol like Hitler subverted sōwilō rune and svastika. For them it is just cross upside down.
I don't think they're overblown, as every cross and crucifix represents the one Jesus sacrificed himself on.

It goes deeper than you would imagine.
Yes, but modern themes are anti-Christian/ occult.
Not an expert, but apparently Peter (the rock) the disciple was crucified on an upside-down cross.
Luciferians tend to do things in "opposite" light/dark, up/down, etc.

Why do Catholics worship torture and death so much? Pure satanists
I think at least part was an attempt to find meaning in being persecuted and tortured themselves. Not a Catholic myself.

The Catholic religion does not use pagan symbols and rituals.
Have a talk with a Jehova’s witness, he (or she) will give you the complete list!
There are actually quite a few shared aspects between Paganism and Catholicism and it's a fun rabbit hole
Hell don’t the major holidays of both happen around the solstices?

We don't do a thing with Tarot cards and astrology. Where are you getting this info?
It's a symbol of Satan and invites bad spirits like the cross is a symbol of Good.
