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.

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.
and they defend it with the same two excuses they gave Jeremiah: It’s our tradition and we like it.
Is it shocking to anyone else . . .
That they really seem
literally INCAPABLE
OF SEEING THE IDOLATRY THAT SCREAMS FROM AT LEAST VIRTUALLY EVERY PARAGRAPH???
Amen, we go straight to our Savior Jesus Christ.
Im sorry, but this is [hideous, blasphemous, idolatrous, irrational, UNBIBLICAL, demonized] absurdity
Please excuse the editorial commentary.
once they know the truth, it’s willful disobedience, it’s their tradition and they like it
Several died. some lived.
I think I really need to acidify the soil more given the alkaline original.
I forget, do they like sandy or lots of organic matter?
Are you saying that it’s
REALLY RIDICULOUS
THAT RC’S IN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK TELL US WHAT THEY BELIEVE?
What folks hereon declare and persistently pontificate about is incrimminating enough.
INCREDIBLE.
WELL PUT.
...And that which does not blatantly align with the pagan “queen of heaven” mantra, seems to specifically and egregiously abscond powers and titles from God Himself. That anyone could attempt to defend such vile tripe in any fashion shows the depth of blindness and confusion to which they adhere.
But in the midst of the ensuing cacophony, defend it they will, to be sure.
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
THX for your kind words.
THX THX
and they defend it with the same two excuses they gave Jeremiah: Its our tradition and we like it.

INDEED.
THANKS.
BLESS HIS PRECIOUS NAME FOR THAT.

TRUE.
Though I’m glad God is the one defining “know” in such cases.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is readily available, both in print and on-line. Though it's only a start . . .
Uhhhhhhh . . .
I’m beginning to be skeptical that I’ll get through it before Jesus comes.
Oh wait! He appeared first to Mary Magdalene.
Never mind..............
Apparently, they fear the Church more than they fear God.
It takes some many years of extreme/complex brainwashing to get to that point.
No matter whether it was Pope Paul II or the apostle Paul consider the Bible re-written, or rather, re-interpreted.
