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.
And we’ll pray for YOU.
nor am I a sodomite which you posted this morning. Why you are still allowed to post here is a mystery
It was a play with words: agnosticism versus Gnosticism. :)
This is no different than when they piled onto Quix over the Jesus being bioengineered by aliens fracas which they started about him.
I find it interesting that Catholics seem to have no compunction about slander and liable in spite of how they rag on non-Catholics whenever they think non-Catholics are *bearing false witness*.
It's all about you isn't it? If you feel the need to call the mods, then feel free. Only don't call it an accusation. It is not. It was a question.
For the record, I do not drink. An occasional glass of white wine at New Years Eve puts me to sleep. I prefer caffeine.
I don't know that. Nor do I care.
Not that any of this is your business. But your ugly, lying, foul, disgusting remarks on this thread need to be called out for what they are -- insanity.
I defer to an expert.
I'll pray for your employment, Mark.
Christian ones, please.
Clearly, they have no defense of their faith and they can’t support their beliefs and practices from Scripture. The only thing left is more lies and ridicule.
They’ve got that down pat.
.
Hank Hanegraaff’s criticisms of others arise out of ignorance, just like your attacks on Christianity.
Your faith in men arises out of ignorance.
Your lack of faith in the saving, healing power of Christ’s blood, shed on the cross arises out of willful ignorance.

spiritual bankruptcy, no wonder they’re foreclosing on old Pristine
Either that or it’s a community account.....
Either that or it’s a community account.....
If you're so concerned about Jim, why did you ping Dr. E. and Quix and not Jim. I consider this a phony post and typical of the harpies, and their sycophants.
I don't recall calling you a sodomite. Can you tell me the post number please?
LOLROTF...Checkmate.....now that’s a good one RnMomof7....hahahahaha
the mod has it now, ask him to refresh your convenient memory
It took this long?
I doubt that it'll be required. The weasels have all completed the PM wailing and whining to the mods, haven't they? By the way, I haven't seen your Robert Gibbs here this afternoon. Has he been given the afternoon off for good behaviour? Should I ask you? Or should I go upstairs?
whoever you’re talking about, have the guts to ping him and ask
...and so what happens after that...what's the "punishment"...because if one misses the mark in one of the least of the commandments he is guilty of them all...so what sort of judgement consequences will one face then?
You’ve personally called me an alcoholic and a harpie, and you’ve called 1000silverlings a sodomite.
Your posts get pulled but you’re still here. I can only imagine you’re on borrowed time. I can’t remember the last time someone broke as many rules as you.
Why don’t you leave the thread if you can’t follow the rules? Most of us don’t want the thread pulled. You give no evidence of agreeing with that sentiment.
