Intended Catholic Dictatorship
Independent Individualist ^ | 8/27/10 | Reginald Firehammer

Posted on 08/27/2010 11:45:13 AM PDT by Hank Kerchief

Intended Catholic Dictatorship

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.

Another neat thing is we can trust Our Lord Jesus Christ to take care of our Family too!

Boy you're on a roll! I just stand in agreement. :-)

Politics is funny too. Back in 2000 I know the Holy Spirit called me to pray during the Florida counting of Bush/Gore. Now during this election cycle my sense is the Spirit is silent about a political solution to our current situation. The republicans are not the answer. Jesus Christ our Lord is the answer.

Hey, there's hope for you yet. Recognizing that in Scripture the phrase "The Woman" is almost always Israel is a good first step.

Do you think the wings might be planes?

Of course, If we do have another election, I will do my civic duty and vote conservative.

Goodness no. That would be using symbolism to interpret Revelations. ;) Next thing would be typology and no telling where you'd end up.

The woman is a woman and the wings are wings.

WHAT?? You, QUix believe that aliens are / were "bioengineering all the religious greats of history—FOR SOCIAL ENGINEERING PURPOSES—including Jesus"

I don't think tht's what Quix is saying. I think he's saying the LGMs will CLAIM, and claim very persuasively, to have done this bioengineering.

Of course! But then you have a brain and a level of integrity which is sorely lacking in some.

"The Woman" is almost always Israel

Israel has " the testimony of Jesus Christ"?

Israel “ being with child, she cried travailing in birth”?

I used to be amill. Then I asked for the truth about end times, without any preconceived notions of my own. For my walk the revelations I received about Israel in God’s Word has been the key to understanding end times we are in.

I'd like the record to show that, saving my obedience to my thought police masters, I think "Jesus the sweet-potato(e) of life" is a great image.

I like thinking about "true food" ("Food indeed").

So then, come on, iscool — do YOU also now believe like some of the non-Catholic here “that Jesus was bioengineered by UFOs”?

Or do you believe, Iscool, that there are some who are either so stupid or, worse yet, so dishonest that they would continue to make this false claim.

I have to say that I am 100% disabled from events in Iraq and the only reason I bring that up is to reinforce that as a 74 year old I could not care less what a nameless entity that I have never met nor had contact with has to say about me. I have no idea what was written nor would I waste the time reading whatever!! As far as I am concerned the only ones I have to answer to is my wife and God. :-) Jess Marcel

"1.2 billion is a lie."

Would "Only a moron would think so" be an acceptable answer?
