Intended Catholic Dictatorship
Independent Individualist ^ | 8/27/10 | Reginald Firehammer

Posted on 08/27/2010 11:45:13 AM PDT by Hank Kerchief

Intended Catholic Dictatorship

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.

Isaiah talks about Christ's appearance growing up as well

Isaiah 53

2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him

Thanks for your clarification.

a pagan emperor set a day of worship for Christians.

You should research that more fully for accuracy. It's akin to saying the British Parliament set the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Now you are dodging the question, for want of a more precise word.

"When this "Church" disbands it's Diplomatic Corp and it's "observer" seat in the United Nations."

You apparently missed WWII. It was in all of the papers.


I lived through it. And you?

FYI the United Nations was established after WWII. Further, the Vatican did not disband it's diplomatic corp during WWII.

First of all, you didn't even know that Scripture existed and now you pass it off as after the torture.

LOL!I perfectly knew of that passage, but this is the first time I've heard of it being applied it to his everyday appearance.

Sure you did!/s

And that's why you said that Scripture was speaking about AFTER the TORTURE?

That was speaking of His Passion. Of course, a person who was beaten to a pulp and was crowned with thorns is not going to look attractive.

It was ALWAYS speaking about his everyday appearance. Because there is Scripture that speaks about AFTER THE TORTURE.

Backstepping isn't cool, it's deceptive.

That’s right, Jesus looked perfectly ordinary. When people did notice him, they said “Who him? isn’t that the carpenter’s son?”

there is a human desire to build large beautiful churches not so much to honor Jesus Christ, but to project status and authority.

Perhaps if you built them this would be your motive. If I were tasked with creating a space for the Body of Christ, the Communion of Saints and the presence of Our Lord I would create a beautiful and awesome space - as much so as God allowed it to come through me. I would pray that He would allow me to be His instrument in creating a sacred and holy space for the worship of The Most Holy Trinity.

So you are infallible in interpretation of Scripture. Good to know. And so humble as well.

No, I am only tasked with myself. I’m not an architect for the Church.

It’s just the latest catch-phrase that non-secular Protestants use to try to distance themselves from Protestants that they don’t agree with.

A generation ago they called themselves “Born Again” and many of them voted for a peanut farmer who called himself by the same turn and then they started abandoning that term.

They’ve used many such terms over the centuries as they continue to disunite with each other.

Now, you’re accusing me of backstepping? Good grief, I’m not going to continue on this conversation with you if you’re going to make it personal. Did you even see Running on Empty’s post?

Plus, don’t you think it’s a little cool trying to build the best we can when offering our talents in prasie of a carpenters Son?

EXACTLY! They looked at HIM outwardly, their perception of him.

I never got your, excuse me, the Holy Spirit’s answer:

Does God’s word say you are violating the commandments by celebrating the Lord’s Day on Sunday?
