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.
BECAUSE if want to learn anything about the things of God - YOU ask HIM.
You are way too concerned about me when you should be MORE concerned about why you reject an answer - to be HOLY SPIRIT FILLED and then read/meditate on God’s Word.
When it is so special for you to reject God’s Word and be Holy Spirit filled? Instead of leanings unto your own understanding and those RCC man made teachings?
It isn't the world that is in question. It is the WORD. The Word does not change.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
I rarely address the Religion Moderator about specific posts, per se. Usually, my issues are with the rules, themselves. Pay attention.
Even so, why would you say this?
“Then your constant complaints to the RM are based on what your Catholic friends post?”
After all, I actually said, “...I ignore most of the pure sewage of most of the non-Catholics...”
Thus, even given the tiny amount of the sewage posts that I read, if I were so inclined, I'd have a lot to complain about.
Also, if a post is addressed directly to me (as is the case with your current post), I'll usually (not always) read it.
sitetest
NOW NOW.
Facts are of no interest to many RC’s etc. hereon.
Uh, come again?
Then why all the Catholic whining and running to the RM over every little perceived slight?
Besides, what does that verse have to do with dead body fetishes?
INDEED.
Yet you freely give your interpretation on all manner of other questions. Not this one.
Roamer, is this an example of violating God's commandments on the Sabbath or not?
My Anglican Brother is still my Brother in Christ if he believes The Gospel. His error on the Lord's Supper is only that, an error.
In the question discussed about Sabbath. If someone believed you were violating God's commandments by celebrating the Lord's Day on Sunday, would he still be your brother in Christ?
Roamer, the converse for you: Are those who violate God's commandment on the Sabbath still your Brother in Christ?
You will have to live on how I answer. An NO MANIPULATION on your part will change it. Manipulation is from the pit - a satanic tactic.
Receive the HOLY SPIRIT and read/meditate God’s Word. Obsession with man demonstrates weakness.
It's pretty common to think a straight answer to a yes or no question is "yes" or "no."
If you want a straight answer from your boss, do you go to a co-worker?
I made it clear, the question asks for your view. It originated from a post where Roamer gave his view.
Since His Word is spiritually discerned, one needs to be Holy Spirit filled.
And since you said you are Holy Spirit filled, I kinda expected you to give a straight answer to the question as you freely offered interpretation of God's word on so many other ones. Still...
I'm perplexed why this particular question is different.
Oddly, I don't agree that asking a question and seeking the reply is manipulation.
Now, if I threw a fit about it, that I could see as an attempt at manipulation. Likely it wouldn't work because it would be a pretty obvious attempt.
What do you think a "fetish" is?
1. The first claim alleges that “Proddys are virtually ALWAYS CAREFUL TO MAKE SUCH ASSERTIONS QUITE GENERALIZED BASED ON ...” This then evolves to
2. “Proddys RARELY do it in any form “
This then evolves to
3.”Maybe 1-3 times a year”
This then evolves to
4. “Probably less than once a month”
This trail of Evolutionary sorrow can be likened to the evolutionary gospel of the secular humanistic crowd? We have journeyed from Always to RARELY, to 1-3 Times, to less than once a month. Either this explains the low birth rate for these "Proddy" people , whomever they might be, or your references are to some other unknown variable.
Thus we are steep into an evolutionary mindset.
Can you imagine how this post is one “Against self interest”
The post is also contradictory and as a Christian I feel embarrassed for you.
What we have here is a series of thoughts contradicting the previous thought.
If the plaintiff were on the witness stand and I was conducting the cross examination can you imagine the devilish delight I could have. Yet, as a follower of Jesus I must refrain from such thoughts. The testimony and credibility offered in the post could be impeached by one with merely an elementary school education.
I must read and act in accordance with Mt 5:7 since I love Jesus
God bless
Oh, you now, fetish....
Just the standard Merriam Webster definition:
fe·tish nouna : an object (as a small stone carving of an animal) believed to have magical power to protect or aid its owner; broadly : a material object regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence
b : an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion : prepossession
2 : a rite or cult of fetish worshipers
Why? What were you thinking about?
That is exactly what I was thinking which is why the original statement was, at best, redundant.
