The Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church
A French priest who has renounced his membership of Freemasonry, announced this Masonic plan that he followed when he was part of the sect. As we have received this document so we publish it, asking our readers to offer on this point, a contribution of discernment and further documentation.
Directives of the Grand Master of the Masons to the Catholic Bishops, effective since 1962. (Updating of Vatican II). All mason brethren will have to report on the progress of these crucial provisions. Revised in October 1993 as a progressive plan for the final stage. All Masons employed in the Church must welcome them and carry them out.
1. Remove once and for all St. Michael, the protector of the Catholic Church, from all the prayers within the Mass and outside of the Mass. Remove the statues, saying that they distract from the Adoration of Christ.
2. Remove the Penitential Exercises of Lent such as abstinence from meat on Fridays or even fasting; impede every act of self-sacrifice. In their place should be favored acts of joy, happiness and love of neighbor. You say, "Christ has already won for us Paradise" and "every human effort is useless." Tell everyone that they must be seriously concerned about their health. Encourage the consumption of meat, especially pork.
3. Assign the Protestant ministers to reconsider the Holy Mass and to desecrate it. Sown doubts about the Real Presence in the Eucharist and confirm that the Eucharist - with greater proximity to the Protestant faith - is only bread and wine and is intended as a pure symbol. Spread Protestants in seminaries and schools. Encourage ecumenism as the path towards unity. Accuse anyone who believes in the Real Presence as subversive and disobedient to the Church.
4. Prohibited the Latin liturgy of the Mass, adoration and songs, because they communicate a sense of mystery and deference. Present them as spells of soothsayers. People will stop considering the priests as men of superior intelligence, to be respected as bearers of the Divine Mysteries.
5. Encourage women not to cover their heads with a veil in church. The hair is sexy. Demand woman readers and women priests. Present the idea as democracy. Found a movement of women's liberation. Those who enter the church should dressed badly in order to feel at home. This will reduce the importance of the Mass.
6. Prevent the faithful from taking Holy Communion kneeling. Tell the nuns that they must dissuade the children from keeping their hands together before and after Communion. Tell them that God loves them as they are and that they should feel completely at ease. Eliminate in the church kneeling and any genuflection. Remove the pews. Tell people that during the Mass they must show their faith in an upright position.
7. Eliminate the sacred music of the organ. Introduce the guitar, jew's harps, drums, trampling and holy laughter in the churches. This distracts people from their personal prayer and conversations with Jesus. Do not give Jesus the time to call children to the religious life. Perform liturgical dances around the altar in exciting clothes, theaters and concerts.
8. Remove the sacred character from the songs to the Mother of God and of St. Joseph. Indicate their veneration as idolatry. Render ridiculous those who persist. Introduce Protestant songs. This will give the impression that the Catholic Church finally admits that Protestantism is the true religion, or at least that it is equal to the Catholic Church.
9 Eliminate all the hymns even those to Jesus because they make the people think of happiness and serenity that comes from the life of mortification and penance for God already from childhood. Introduce new songs only to convince people that the previous rites were somehow false. Make sure that in every Mass that there is at least one in which Jesus is not mentioned and instead speaks only of love for men. The youth will be thrilled to hear about the love of neighbor. Preach love, tolerance and unity. Do not mention Jesus, prohibit any announcements of the Eucharist.
10. Remove all the relics of saints and later also from the Altars themselves. Replace them with pagan tables not consecrated which can be used to offer human sacrifices during satanic masses. Eliminate the Ecclesiastical law which wants the celebration of the Holy Mass only on Altars containing relics.
11. Discontinue the practice of celebrating the Holy Mass in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle. Do not admit any Tabernacle on the Altars that are used for the celebration of the Holy Mass. The board should have the appearance of a kitchen table. It must be transportable to express that it is not at all sacred but must serve a dual purpose as, for example, a table for conferences or for play cards on it. Later place a chair at that table. The priest must take that position to indicate that after the Communion he rests as after a meal. The priest must never kneel during the Mass or do genuflections. At meals, in fact, no one ever kneels. The chair of the Priest must be placed in the place of the Tabernacle. Encourage the people to worship and also to adore the priest instead of the Eucharist, to obey him instead of the Eucharist. Tell the people that the priest is Christ, their leader. Place the Tabernacle in a separate room, out of sight.
12. Let the saints disappear from the Ecclesiastical calendar, leaving always some at fixed times. Prohibit the priests from preaching about the Saints, except for those that are mentioned in the Gospel. Tell the people that any Protestants, probably in the church, could be scandalized. Avoid anything that disturbs the Protestants.
13. In the Gospel reading omit the word "holy", for example, instead of "the Gospel according to St. John," simply say: "Gospel according to John." This will make the people think that they should not venerate the saints anymore. Continuously write new bibles so that they will identical to the Protestant ones. Omit the adjective "Holy" in the expression "Holy Spirit". This will pave the way. Emphasize the feminine nature of God as a mother full of tenderness. Eliminate the use of the term "Father."
14. Try to get all the personal books of piety to disappear and destroy them. As a consequence of this the Litanies of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, of the Mother of God, of St. Joseph will cease also as the preparation for Holy Communion. The thanksgiving after Communion will become superfluous as well.
15. Cause to disappear also all of the statues and images of the Angels. Why should the statues of our enemies get in the way? Define them as myths or good night stories. Do not let the talk on the Angels since this perturbs our Protestant friends.
16. Repeal minor exorcisms to expel demons: work on this, announcing that the devils do not exist. Explain that this is the method adopted in the Bible to describe evil and that without a wicked one there cannot exist interesting stories. As a result people will not believe in the existence of hell nor will they be afraid to ever fall into hell. Repeat that hell is nothing more than the distance from God and that there is nothing terrible in that if we are basically speaking about the same life as here on earth.
17. Teach that Jesus was only a man who had no brothers and sisters and who hated the holders of power. Explain that he loved the company of prostitutes, especially of Mary Magdalene, who did not know what to do with churches and synagogues. Tell them that he advised not to obey the leaders of the Clergy, explained that he was a great teacher but deviated from the correct path when he neglected to obey the leaders of the church. Discourage the discussion on the cross as a victory, on the contrary present it as a failure.
18. Remember that you can induce the sisters to the betrayal of their vocation if you will concentrate on their vanity, charm and beauty. Have them change their Ecclesiastical habit and that will naturally lead them throw away their rosaries in disapproval. This will dry up their vocations. Tell the nuns that they will not be accepted if they do not renounce their habit. Favor the discredit of the ecclesiastical habit also among the people.
19. Burn all catechisms. Tell the teachers of religion to teach to love God's creatures instead of God Himself. To love openly is a testimony of maturity. Let the term "sex" become a household word in your daily religion classes. Make sex a new religion. Introduce images of sex in religious lessons to teach children the reality. Make sure that the images are clear. Encourage schools to become progressive thinkers in the field of sex education. Introduce sex education through the Bishop's authority so parents will have nothing against it.
20. Suffocate the Catholic schools, preventing the vocations of the nuns. Reveal to the nuns that they are underpaid social workers and that the Church is about to eliminate them. Insist that the lay Catholic teacher receive the same wage as those of government schools. Use non catholic teachers. The Priests must receive the same salary as the corresponding secular employees. All priests must put away their Clerical Robe and their crosses so as to be accepted by everyone. Render ridiculous those who do not conform.
21. Annihilate the Pope, destroying his Universities. Detach the Universities from the Pope, saying that in this way the government might subsidize them. Replace the names of religious institutes with profane names, in order to favor of ecumenism. For example, instead of "School of the Immaculate Conception," you say, "New High School". Establish departments of ecumenism in all the dioceses and take that they be controlled by the protestant side. Prohibited prayers for the Pope and for Mary because they discourage ecumenism. Announced that the local bishops are the competent authorities. Uphold that the Pope is merely a figurehead. Explain to the people that the Papal Teaching is useful only for conversation but which is otherwise unimportant.
22. Fight Papal Authority, putting an age limit on his activity. Reduce the age limit gradually, explaining that you want to preserve him from excessive work.
23. Be bold. Weaken the Pope by introducing Episcopal synods. The Pope will then become only a figurehead as in England where the High chamber and the Low chamber reign and from them the queen receives orders. Then weaken the authority of the Bishop, giving rise to a concurrent institution at the level of the priests. Say that in this way the priests receive the attention they deserve. Finally weaken the authority of the priest with the formation of groups of lay people who dominate the Priests. In this way you will give rise to such a hatred that even Cardinals will abandon the Church and then the Church will be democratic ... the New Church ...
24. Reduce the vocations to the priesthood, making the laymen lose their awe of it. The public scandal of a Priest will destroy thousands of vocations. Praise priests who for the love of a woman abandoned everything, defining them as heroes. Honor Priests reduced to the lay state as true martyrs, the oppressed to the point of not being able to endure anymore. Also condemned as a scandal that our mason brethren in the priesthood must be made known and their names published. Be tolerant with homosexuality within the Clergy. Tell the people that priests suffer from loneliness.
25. Begin to close the churches due to the shortage of clergy. Defined as good and economical this practice. Explain that God hears prayers everywhere. In this manner the churches become an extravagant waste of money. Close above all the churches in which they practice traditional piety.
26. Use committees of lay people and priests weak in faith who might condemn and reprehend without difficulty every apparition of Mary and apparent miracle especially of the Archangel St. Michael. Make sure that nothing of this, in no measure, will receive approval according to Vatican II. Call it disobedience to authority if anyone obeys the Revelations or even if someone reflects on them. Indicate the Seers as disobedient against Ecclesiastical Authority. Bring down their good name in the mud, so that no one will hold in consideration their Message.
27. Elect an Antipope. Affirm that he will bring back the Protestants in the Church and perhaps even the Jews. An Antipope will be able to be elected if the Bishops might be given the right to vote. In this way many Antipopes will receive votes so that an Antipope will be installed in office as a compromise. Affirm that the true Pope is dead.
28. Remove Confession before Holy Communion for the students of the second and third grade so that they do not care anything about Confession when they will go to the fourth or fifth grades and then the upper classes. Confession then will disappear. Introduce (in silence) communal confession with absolution as a group. Explain to the people that this happens due to the shortage of clergy.
29. Have the distributing of Communion done by women and lay people. You say that this is the time of the laity. Begin with giving Communion in the hand, as do the Protestants, rather than on the tongue. Explain that Christ did it the same way. Collect some hosts for "black masses" in our temples. Afterwards distribute instead of the personal Communion a cup of unconsecrated hosts that one can bring home with them. Explain to them that in this way they one can take the divine gifts into everyday life. Place automatic dispensers of hosts for communions and name these Tabernacles. Tell them that they must be exchanged peace signs. Encourage people to move into the church to interrupt devotion and prayer. Do not make Signs of the Cross; in place of it instead a sign of peace. Explain that also Christ got up to greet the Disciples. Do not allow any concentration in such moments. The Priests must turn their back to the Eucharist and honor the people.
30. After the Antipope has been elected, dissolve the synod of bishops as well as the associations of priests and parish councils. Forbid all religious to question, without permission, these new provisions. Explain that God loves humility and hates those who aspire to glory. Accuse of disobedience against Ecclesiastical authority all those who raise questions. Discourage obedience to God. Tell the people that they must obey these higher ecclesiastics.
31. Give the Pope (= Antipope) the maximum power to choose their successors. Order under pain of excommunication all those who love God, to bear the mark of the beast. Do not call it though the "sign of the beast." The Sign of the Cross should not be done nor used on people or through them (you should not bless anymore). To make the Sign of the Cross will be designated as idolatry and disobedience.
32. Declare previous dogmas as false, except Papal Infallibility. Proclaim Jesus Christ as a failed revolutionary. Announce that the true Christ will soon come. Only the elected Antipope must be obeyed. Tell the people that they must bow when his name is uttered.
33. Order all the subjects of the Pope to fight in holy crusade to extend the one-world religion. Satan knows where one finds all the lost gold. Conquer the world without pity! All this will bring to humanity all that it has always craved: "the golden age of peace."

The sad thing is that except for a few point (such as the antipope and the negation of the divine nature of Christ) one can say that all of this has already happened Many of their goals have been accomplished. Almost all of the points have been realized since the distribution of this directive, that is, of 1962. (http://amiamogesu.weebly.com/demonio-e-demoni.html)

I, Father Joseph Dwight, translated this document from an Italian translation in September 2013.
Before doing all the work to translate this document into English, I, searched the web and only found one article, a forum, which made reference to this article in English. At this web site, http://forums.catholic-convert.com/viewtopic.php?, which discusses the above article which I translated from the Italian, there was the web reference Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church. When I clicked on this reference (http://www.profezie.info/UK/AD_Piano_Massonico_uk.htm), I received the following message from Google at this site: The page cannot be found. English is much more wide spread in the world than Italian!
Having been away from the USA for more than 27 years, when I was not sure how to translate certain words or phrases in the more modern, typical American English, I tended toward the literal translation which sometimes might not come across well to the ears of an English speaking person as it might to an Italian speaking person.
I think you are mistaken.
You might want to reconsider this, since you're describing the Vatican as well, lol.
I continue to honour my oath not to divulge the ceremonials of the Masons, however, I will not participate or encourage the participation in, Masonic practices.
ROTFL! If you really want to discuss Catholic conspiracy theories about how the Jews elected Obama, I'm perfectly willing to go there. Are you?
I also saw that you also didnt apologize for Barak Obama, Jesse Jackson and bill Clinton in your failed save.
What do I have to apologize for? If we're supposed to believe what Catholics tell us about Protestants, there's 41,000 different denominations who each believe the others are going to Hell. Why should I apologize for the voting behavior of another group (again, if you can believe the Catholics) that I think is going to Hell?
I also think debate by hyperlink is the modus of the intellectual lightweight.
That's a lot of thoughts. You might want to pop the hood and check your fluid levels.
Why reconsider? If the shoe fits...?
HOWEVER:
How in the sam hill Catholics who believe in a World Masonic Conspiracy can then turn right around and make fun of Fundamentalist Protestants for not believing in evolution or in "higher criticism" is absolutely beyond me. In fact, it's downright crazy.
Anyone who believes the Masons are secretly conquering the world to make it G-dless can good and well believe in creationism and letter-for-letter Divine authorship. There's no excuse, people.
Laughing and Pointing at each other gets us nowhere.
“How in the sam hill Catholics who believe in a World Masonic Conspiracy can then turn right around and make fun of Fundamentalist Protestants for not believing in evolution or in “higher criticism” is absolutely beyond me. In fact, it’s downright crazy.”
Really? Why? The two things are completely unrelated.
No one who claims the Holy Torah is a tissue of lies written by bloodthirsty savages who adapted Babylonian/Canaanite mythology deserve the slightest bit of understanding or respect. There are only two kinds of people who could possibly believe this: the ignorant, and the evil.
Laughing and Pointing at each other gets us nowhere.
I wasn't laughing at the original poster or the article. I specifically said it could be 100% true. But anyone who can believe in such a theory who suddenly morphs into a scientific modernist when it comes to the Biblical text is a buffoon and a walking contradiction.
I meant that in general, laughing at someone who believes in creationism doesn't help their cause.

Really? A person can be a screaming Right Wing Extremist when it comes to the Masons and yet a iconoclastic liberal skeptic when it comes to the Biblical text? You don't see any tension whatsoever between the two?
Your religion is screwed up, pal.
Hey . . . maybe creationism is a "Masonic plot!"
And yet most Catholics do precisely that. Never mind that by the same standards none of the miracles of the "new testament" could have possibly happened. To be a "good Catholic" you apparently have to make metaphorical love to Charles Darwin and Julius Wellhausen.
I repeat: anyone who can be right wing enough to believe in a World Masonic Conspiracy but who laughs at Genesis is an incredibly screwed-up person.
Heh...looks like something that the mullahs in Iran would say. Maybe they are related from those Persian campaigns and long occupations around the northeastern Mediterranean.
“Really? A person can be a screaming Right Wing Extremist when it comes to the Masons and yet a iconoclastic liberal skeptic when it comes to the Biblical text?”
Of course - because the two are so unrelated that your characterization as “Right Wing Extremist” and “iconoclastic liberal skeptic” on those issues simply doesn’t work. Someone can be a lefty and dislike the Masons - in fact I know quite a few who do.
“You don’t see any tension whatsoever between the two?”
Nope. Not one bit.
“Your religion is screwed up, pal.”
Nope. Only your thinking is. You are making associations where none exist.
“Hey . . . maybe creationism is a “Masonic plot!””
No, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you were to wake up tomorrow and claim it is.
The poster you responded to said nothing about Catholics, much less that God hates them.
It's more honest to respond to something another poster said instead of making it look like they said something completely different.
Now that is "Truly unbelievable nonsense" and looks like mind reading. Is it ok for Catholics to do that?
More highly placed and educated Catholics believe Freemasons to be old Protestant and Jewish “Judaizers.” One needs to read between the lines and pay attention to their actions to understand.

One of your friends caught a "higher up" stealing a host? How did your friend retrieve the host without touching it him/herself?
A host heist? Follow the crumbs...
The only problem with your theory is that the Catholic Church has always been at odds with masonism, since long before the advent of modern liberalism. Incidentally, I wouldn't be surprised if Pelosi is a mason. Its seems that quite a few members of governing circles are.
Given Nan’s heritage (Lombardi/D’Allesandro) more likely the Mafia, LOL.
