After decades of indirectly criticizing the Catholic Church through friendly media outlets, the powerful Mexican Masonry has now directly gone after Catholic bishops, accusing them of pretending to “control” Mexican politics by demanding the right to education and information.
The previous Mexican Constitution, because of Masonic influence, stripped the Church of the right to own schools and communications media. Recently, the Mexican bishops announced they would begin a campaign to regain these rights.
The Grand Lodge of the Valley of Mexico, which brings together 12,000 Masons, reacted to the proposal by calling a press conference in which Great Teacher Pedro Marquez accused the Church of wanting to “return to the past.”
“The Catholic hierarchy wants to dictate a political policy and that is a very grave error, as our society is no longer in the era of Christianity and priests are no longer viceroys of New Spain,” Marquez said.
“There is a tendency in the Church to meddle in the social and political affairs of Mexico, but the priests should return to their Churches,” he added.
Mexican Masonry played a decisive role in the configuration of the Mexican State and in political measures such as the stripping of the Church’s right to own schools and communications media, the right to vote of priests and religious, and the rupture of diplomatic relations with the Vatican.
The anti-clerical policies were kept in place throughout the entire period of rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), dominated by the Masons, from 1929 to 2000.
The Mexican bishops, together with the College of Catholic Lawyers, intend to present a proposal to the Mexican Congress that would nullify laws that are “discriminatory and outdated.”
Very similar to what we hear in the US from the ACLU and their fellow travelers, who hate any sign of religion in the public square.
Correction: ".....who hate any sign of the Christian religion......
Dear Lord in heaven, help these people.
Remember, everyone to pray the Rosary too!
Viva Cristo Rey!
I would if I wanted my prayers to stop at the 14th floor. My prayers go all the way to the top floor … directly to Jesus.
So did mine. Don’t understand why you are addressing such a statement to me.
Just making a statement … the rosary is a prayer primarily addressed to Mary (for her intercession). I see no need for a prayer to Mary when I have been given permission by Jesus to take my prayers directly to Him.
Not to start a flame war, but why do you consider the two contradictory? If I were to visit you at your home and your mother were there, I would greet you both.
BTW, the heart of the Rosary is not the vocal prayers (the Hail Mary’s, etc.) but the meditations or Mysteries, which are mostly focused on the life of Jesus.
The Rosary is a prayer to Mary, yes, but I’m sure that you are aware that almost all the Mysteries of the Rosary, pertain to the life of Jesus Christ.
Are you familiar with them?
When I say the Rosary I am meditating on the Life of Christ, not just saying Hail Marys, Our Fathers, and Glory Bes.
The first intercession made of Christ was done so at the Wedding of Cana by guess whom??
The Blessed Virgin Mary — his mother.
She definitely has a direct line to him.
Her words to the servants even after Christ said it was not yet his time: “Do as he says.”
LOL! — Typical mother, huh?
It deals with the ongoing struggle between the Catholic Church and masonry in Mexico.
Y'all remind me of the Energizer bunny banging a one beat rhythm on his drum.
The Catholics are trying the same fascism lite in St Louis
God bless the Masons!
Indeed ... may He bless them abundantly with the Graces of repentance and conversion. They are currently engaged in outright totalitarianism.

Maybe this will reawaken Catholic awareness of this noxious movement.
Spent 14 months in a Trappist Monastery (Moncks Corner, SC). While there, I read the Bible several times. Left when I realized that what I was being taught was not what the Bible was presenting. So, yes I very familiar with the so-called “mysteries of the rosary”. And as Christian, I denounce them all. My “Thesis on the wall”, as it were.
Start a thread and tell the world about it.
It has no relevance here.
Phsssst!
Indeed. This thread is about the resurgence of virulent bigotry that was downright genocidal last time it reared its ugly head.
To bad the Masons don’t believe in God through faith in Christ. The god they worship might indeed bless them, but it isn’t an eternal blessing by Divine standards.
Great testimony. Good to read it. Thanks for the post.
