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.
That was before his change of heart..
ohh yea
no comment
yes, but the Pope has a holy hat
That is not a PLACE it is a position.. as if reclining on Abraham
Mat 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
The dead were dead and unconscciencious as Eccl. 9:10 says,
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest “
Outside of some evangelical/fundamentalist cults, Calvin and his ilk have been relegated to the dustbins of history where his infamous legacy is continuously evidenced by the perpetual fractionizing processes. This is the historical curse that he has bequeathed his disillusioned followers.
Calvin has been marginalized and rightly so in modern times. since he did precious little in the furtherance of spreading the word of God but the boy did sow the seeds of hatred and corruption.
God bless
Did I say that? Seems I only asked if the Pope believes the voice in his head is the Holy Spirit?
LOL! So Rome is at least partially responsible for the attacks on Russian Orthodox and the slaughter of the Armenian Christians at the Mohammedans? Funny, I thought that was the Mohammedans’ fault. I mean, there are Armenian martyrs that have beatified by the Catholic Church from that period for goodness sake!
I have no idea what occurs behind the scenes, but embracing a religion that slaughters Christians is what exactly?
by kissing the koran in public your pope either shows that he loves it,or identifies with it, or respects it, or wants to appease it, maybe so it wouldn’t cut his head off. what do you think?
lol. Only in Rome.
Reformed churches are sprouting up all over the globe. China is being converted by the millions. In South America, the two fastest growing churches are Pentecostal and Reformed.
High school history books teach the fact that this country was founded on the Biblical principles Calvin instituted in Geneva -- a separation of church and state; a tri-part system of government with its built-in checks and balances to keep men honest; and a representative system of government where both church and state leaders are elected from among the congregation and the citizenry, respectively.
Meanwhile, Rome is bleeding membership, closing churches and seminaries everywhere. Four times as many RCs become Protestant as Protestants become RC.
As God wills.
The former pope, not the current one, who, as has been pointed out already, was more concerned with dealing with communism and, in coalition with Reagan and Thatcher, was quite successful.
Pope facing mirror like Mrs Washington
Does the voice in my head think this Versace makes my backside look maximus?" Voice in head: "Um.. a little... oh for peter's sake!"
ROTFLOL!!!
(I think all the mirrors in the Vatican are covered.)
Exactly.
And 800,000 Protestant Tutsis who were massacred by Roman Catholic Hutus.
You give the false impression that the Rwanda genocide was religiously motivated, when it wasn’t.
