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.
Babbling about the Species in Communion without knowing that Catholics receive the Bread and WINE and have for decades while creating a hash of the Trinity and the understanding MOST Christians who aren’t completely ignorant believe, is not the best way to begin a discussion about intersteller dimensionality, Time, and Space.
"That is amazing since most of the non catholic posters on this thread do not believe in the divinity of Jesus, Trinity, God or the bible. I have found a non catholic who believes in Jesus and the bible."
It would sadden me greatly to suggest any of the Catholics on this thread are disenguous phony's.
No. I didn’t.
You’re getting your mom’s mixed up.....
again.......
Presume so.
Answer it.
I’d be really interested in some FRoman Catholics take on it since you guys have told me that everything else I’ve ever related about what Roman Catholicism teaches is wrong.
Yeah, good catch.
or would call people names and deliberately post false sentences and attribute them to another poster?
Answer the question.
When did the RCC start handing out both? After how many centuries of not?
*IGNORE ON*
not personal, but named.
Don’t you think that is personal?
personal if Tu, not so personal if Udsted.
Yup. That’s what I thought......
lol, “look it up”
“I have that list in my possession and would be glad to make it available providing ,first,...”
~SNORT!
Qualifying doesn’t count. ~All hat and no cattle.
Sure. And that’ll be wrong.
And then I’ll be sent off to look it up again, and oops, that’s not a Vatican approved site,
Off again with me....
And so it goes......
I’d settle for some scientific lab analysis.
Forensics departments around the country ought to be able to handle that well enough. They have plenty of methods for determining human blood and type.
A lab report would be nice.
Projection, psychology 101
Hey, if you want to keep worshipping Chinese gods, go ahead, I’ll stick to The Church Christ founded, the One Holy Apostolic Catholic CHurch.
Please tell me what Chinese gods I have claimed to worship. Please list them in alphabetical order, no cutting and pasting.
