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.
Maybe that’s why they never seem to be able to learn something or move past their errors. They don’t have any answers.
WELL PUT. THEY SEEM TO EQUATE !!!!TRADITIONS!!!!
WITH ‘BIBLICAL’ AND WITH ‘ANSWERS.’
Y'all (i.e. plural you) say that like there are denominations without traditions.
It is more rigorously enforced on the Religion Forum by our stalwart and tireless herder of cats, the RM.
Occasionally, he may overlook minor infractions given the press of herding all the rabid cats.
However, usually he’s pretty thorough and not much gets by him.
Uhhhhhh . . . a bit of a . . . more than a bit of a . . .
lop-sided description, imho.
I don’t see any qualifications in the Scripture.
However, flesh driven interpretations and judgments are hazardsous.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww
whine, wail, whine wail.
Soooooooooooo, I wonder just WHO
is the most personally assaulted in a legally thinly veiled impersonal way .....
Actually, I don’t wonder at all. I see him regularly in my mirror.
The rabid cliques still hold the Olympic Gold Medals
for hypocrisies, double speak, self-contradictions, farce proffered as truth and unmitigated fantasized hogwash by a wide margin.
By God’s Grace, rarely in recent years.
Of course, that’s not for lack of RC’s earnest efforts, diligence, lobbying, coercing even
!!!!DEMANDING!!!!
that FR conform to their fantasies of FR as directly controlled arm of the Vatican.
So, you have had a post, or more, deleted?
Yeah . . . far too often it seems that far more RC’s outrageous over the line posts get overlooked.
I just consider it residue of the first FR years’ !!!!TRADITIONAL!!!! favoritism toward the RC’s.
Not really.
The RM prefers, IIRC, that ‘you’ etc. be avoided in negative terms all the time.
It’s not about reason. It’s a brake or a fly-wheel placed on discourse to keep it from getting too crazy.
= ====
WHY do so few RC’s seem to realize that and to chafe against the rules so relentlessly?
Oh, right, the notoriously thin kinds of the rabid cliques and their members.
Y'all would know.
All that was necessary was a “yes” or “no”.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quick, call out the dog! Ping all the sycophants.
Sorry, can’t stop laughing, can’t post more, tears streaming down my face, tears of laughter at the audacity of y’all.
I wondered about that. Is that the UFO fan club that is pinged in every post that has a negative mention of Catholics?
