The ultimate intention of Catholicism is the restoration of the Holy Roman Empire. That has always been the ambition, at least covertly, but now it is being promoted overtly and openly.
The purpose of this article is only to make that intention clear. It is not a criticism of Catholics or Catholicism (unless you happen to think a Catholic dictatorship is not a good thing).
The most important point is to understand that when a Catholic talks about liberty or freedom, it is not individual liberty that is meant, not the freedom to live one's life as a responsible individual with the freedom to believe as one chooses, not the freedom to pursue happiness, not the freedom to produce and keep what one has produced as their property. What Catholicism means by freedom, is freedom to be a Catholic, in obedience to the dictates of Rome.
The Intentions Made Plain
The following is from the book Revolution and Counter-Revolution:
"B. Catholic Culture and Civilization
"Therefore, the ideal of the Counter-Revolution is to restore and promote Catholic culture and civilization. This theme would not be sufficiently enunciated if it did not contain a definition of what we understand by Catholic culture and Catholic civilization. We realize that the terms civilization and culture are used in many different senses. Obviously, it is not our intention here to take a position on a question of terminology. We limit ourselves to using these words as relatively precise labels to indicate certain realities. We are more concerned with providing a sound idea of these realities than with debating terminology.
"A soul in the state of grace possesses all virtues to a greater or lesser degree. Illuminated by faith, it has the elements to form the only true vision of the universe.
"The fundamental element of Catholic culture is the vision of the universe elaborated according to the doctrine of the Church. This culture includes not only the learning, that is, the possession of the information needed for such an elaboration, but also the analysis and coordination of this information according to Catholic doctrine. This culture is not restricted to the theological, philosophical, or scientific field, but encompasses the breadth of human knowledge; it is reflected in the arts and implies the affirmation of values that permeate all aspects of life.
"Catholic civilization is the structuring of all human relations, of all human institutions, and of the State itself according to the doctrine of the Church.
|
Got that? "Catholic civilization is the structuring of all human relations, of all human institutions, and of the State itself according to the doctrine of the Church." The other name for this is called "totalitarianism," the complete rule of every aspect of life.
This book and WEB sites like that where it is found are spreading like wildfire. These people do not believe the hope of America is the restoration of the liberties the founders sought to guarantee, these people believe the only hope for America is Fatima. Really!
In Their Own Words
The following is from the site, "RealCatholicTV." It is a plain call for a "benevolent dictatorship, a Catholic monarch;" their own words. They even suggest that when the "Lord's Payer," is recited, it is just such a Catholic dictatorship that is being prayed for.

Two Comments
First, in this country, freedom of speech means that anyone may express any view no matter how much anyone else disagrees with that view, or is offended by it. I totally defend that meaning of freedom of speech.
This is what Catholics believe, and quite frankly, I do not see how any consistent Catholic could disagree with it, though I suspect some may. I have no objection to their promoting those views, because it is what they believe. Quite frankly I am delighted they are expressing them openly. For one thing, it makes it much easier to understand Catholic dialog, and what they mean by the words they use.
Secondly, I think if their views were actually implemented, it would mean the end true freedom, of course, but I do not believe there is any such danger.
Hope you don’t skip this one, it was especially for you,

Thanks for your support of the Truth.
However, you might consider keeping your powder dry for folks who still have a capacity to be influenced by the truth.
Let me try that one more time in case it didn’t go through,
here’s a link you want to be sure to look at,
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2578704/posts?page=1641#1641
That’s irrelevant to some folks.
All of us
become broken ON THE TRUTH
or
CRUSHED UNDER IT.
Seems like a shocking number are begging for the latter.
And, they can THANK THEMSELVES for being responsible for me showing a LOT MORE of the hideocies of Ferraro's text openly for all to see.
“heretical blasphemous idolatrous outrageous unbiblical deceptions,” is an understatement.
Thanks for posting that Quix.
If the Catholic church doesn’t teach that, where’s the denunciation of it BY the Catholic church?
If the Catholic church doesnt teach that, wheres the denunciation of it BY the Catholic church?
EXACTLY!
THX.
Good stuff. When you empty your heart of hatred and learn the Law of Love you will embrace this book.
They could shut down publishing houses that publish such in a flash, if they made it a priority.
I rebuke that outrageous falsehood in the Precious Name of Jesus.
No doubt, having vilely attacked His Mother why not further blasphemies?
BEARING FALSE WITNESS YET AGAIN, I SEE.
THAT’S *NOT* A FRUIT OF HOLY SPIRIT.
I’ve never attacked Mary in my life to any degree, in any way, shape or form.
It is actually in the interest of her accurate memory that I attack falsehoods about her and the caricatured phoney image layered on her history in her name . . . though actually from the pit of hell.
BTW, which century do you anticipate living up to your tagline?
Embrace lies?
There’s more wrong in that book than right. That’s about the most unscriptural nonsense that I’ve ever read.
The reverend’s theology is all wrong.
You can start with the fact that sin did not enter the world through the woman, Eve, and it’s not a woman’s wrong that is to be set right by a woman.
Then there’s the fact that the Holy Spirit is the one who draws men men to God and points to Jesus. That’s one of His functions.
Or is He not needed since Mary is there to do it all?
Speaking of not needed.... The way this guy talks, Why is Jesus even in the equation? Mary is queen of all, according to this blasphemer. Jesus is just an afterthought. Just a technicality to give the appearance of legitimacy so that Catholicism can claim to be a Christian religion.
If this is what your putting your faith in, instead of the blood of Jesus Himself alone, then you are in way bigger spiritual trouble than you realize.

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
Anyone who embraces those writings is sorely lacking in Biblical truth...and that beyond measure.
Well, well, well Quix....that pretty much sums up Mary as being worshiped...worse it dethrones Christ... and further absolutely crushes His finished work on Calvary..... Chilling to say the least, and I have seen seem some awful sacrilegious writings of the occults but this...this is beyond disturbing.
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
And, at the rate I was going, I would not have gotten to posting more of such outrages until they obscenely pushed me to it. And I STILL haven’t posted near all of the horrors. But the outrages posted are at least representative of all of it.
That they can dance around such with straight faces and still pretend to be authentic Christians is beyond me.
