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.
READ THE VERY SOLID RESEARCH
USING EXTENSIVELY THE VATICAN’S OWN ARCHIVES IN PORTUGAL.
What a way to go through a spiritual life. You just never know when the rug is going to be pulled from under you and you must stand tall and act like nothing of importance just happened...
THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS, BRO.
Prayers for your efforts in behalf of The Kingdom.
Wheeeee.

Yet, I was not familiar with the Four Square service which you mentioned. Is it similar to entertainment in Tijuana or is it more refined to cater to Aimee's Topeka tastes? Was the Semple one herself a UFO or some type of apparition or was she just a working girl enslaved by the harsh realities of the day.
I do love that little dog.
Mutley is one of our faves, so I get a little smile when you post it.
See, I don’t care if you make fun of me, or belittle me, or laugh at me.
I got a miracle beyond measure yesterday and I’m just glad to have children with a mother and a husband with a wife, living and unharmed.
The silly infighting really doesn’t matter at all, cause I know that The Lord held me in His Arms and kept me safe from harm.
So have fun Dear Heart. You know I love ya anyway!
No..I saw the third line. I read every line. It just strikes me a very ironic that one day something is believed soul deep and then it’s found that it’s not “Official Dogma” just JP IIs “opinion”, and suddenly people are off the hook regarding having to believe Mary’s Co-Redemptix Status. It’s almost as if RCs wait for the afternoon RC paper to give them updates before they be carry on with their belief system. Is there ever any time that one just STOPS. reads, listens to that quiet voice inside, opens their Bible and just searches for themselves.
Catechism
969 “This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation .... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix.
What do you suppose Mediatrix,helper etc.. means in co operation with Grace?
Well if you believe everything you read on the internet about any group, you’re gonna get in trouble.
Nancy Pelosi is American, but her beliefs are not mine.
If it’s not dogma, it’s not dogma.
You can like to believe it is, but just like some Americans want socialism, that’s not really American.
You need to take it up with the Vatican and not me.
Mediatrix is not equal to Redemptrix.
I care for you, too.
God’s best to you and yours.

Thank you, my FRiend!
You are objectively, rationally, provably correct.
But I know what you mean ;-)
Bless you for your encouragements.
This first week of school was unusually challenging but PRAISE GOD went well.
Both classes seem to be a good group of cooperative students . . . most of whom have already excitedly warmed to my unusual style.
YOU’RE WORTH IT
. . . most of the time . . .
actually . . . all of it . . . however, just for effect . . .
