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.

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.
The absurdity of the Behavior on the RC side.
BTW,
PRODDYS don’t follow nor use the
VATICAN DAFFYNITIONARY.
But, you left out Catholics with a quadology (4 persons in 1 holy trinity), Catholics who dont believe the bible and worship Mary, Queen of Heaven, who does all the work of Christ, and is the One that the Plan of Salvation is really all about. Go the complete circle, don’t leave out the half of it.
INDEED.
ya know Quix, I do not care what men call me.. I only care about what God calls me... and He calls me, His child, His elect, bride of Christ, Most of all He calls me forgiven... praise God !
Ahhhhhhhhh . . .
the pot and kettle dance again.
I AGREE THOROUGHLY.
but there aren’t any, lol
That is an non-flammatory way to put it, as would be several other ways.
However, the posted picture with "WAIL-WHINE-THIN-SKINNED-POOR-PUT-UPON-RC'S-DEATH-SPIRAL-BREAK-DANCE!" is a quite inflammatory way to communicate the same thing.
I do hope that you can see this.
At least . . . according to the Vatican papers and the white hanky missives from “Mary.”
I see that
1. you seem to presume to be my editor and style coach.
2. you have very different standards of what is “inflammatory.”
3. you will likely never understand my perspective nor my standards of communications.
4. you seem to excuse similar “inflammatory” communicationis from RC’s.
“Again, I think it comes down to moderator judgement.”
Nah, I disagree. It's easy enough to figure out when someone is calling Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, “Soylent White Wafer.”
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that that's a personal attack on every Catholic, and that it's indecent and it doesn't belong here.

In a sense that makes sense, but in another sense I do care what God's friends call me and think of me. Also, and I really do think this is important, I care what God's enemies call me and think of me. I want the former to be pleased to have me along and the latter to want what I have.
BTW,
one of the things
THE LORD
HAS TRAINED ME RELENTLESSLY BEST TO DO
IS
BE A VERY VIVID MIRROR TO FOLKS WHO ARE ALLERGIC TO MIRRORS.
God or UFO or semple one bless. I try to be sensitive to all. It is the Jesus way.
NONSENSE.
HINT:
THIS IS *NOT* AN OFFICE OF THE VATICAN.
I MUCH AGREE.
The “However . . .” gets complicated in some respects and simple in others . . . but doesn’t bridge well across very different perspectives on reality.
Not very convincingly . . . overmuch . . . it seems to me.
How, exactly did the Lord teach you? Did you hear voices or did an emissary from a flying saucer instruct you?
I think some mirrors were hopelessly shattered some years back. Sorta reminds me of Humpty-Dumpty.
All you can do is pity them.

I believe in the Trinity and that scripture supports this. Though of course it is not the easiest to understand. But we as His created beings are triune beings as well......Body,...Soul... and Spirit... And He said He would make us in Their image...so yes I do believe in the Trinity.
