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.
IOW, a simple reading of this comment says....Those demons posing as aliens are going to claim that they bioengineered all the religious greats in history, including Jesus, and offer persuasive, convincing evidence to support it.
That's not so hard......
We'll be gone, so it won't be an issue. However, I can see a number of people falling for it, hook, line, and sinker.
Some reasonable comments there.
Your: People, I suggest, get upset with Quix’s difficult manner of posting because they care.
NOPE. NOT MOST of the contentious ones. They only seem to care to have me obliterated from FR.
That would be fine if they had the capacity or decency to engage in the fray in a more or less equal give and take.
They do not.
I would be delighted if the RC side had a variation on a Quix. I would enjoy the colored fonts, the special language and terms, the humor, the satire, the mocking, all of it would be fun to me. I would consider it refresingly real dialogue and iron sharpening iron.
Instead, I have endless jerk-face posts 90-100% grossly distorting facts etc. etc. etc. as though what they were saying were truly factual when routinely it’s anything but factual.
It would be one thing if it was satire, humor, hyperbole, wit, skillful mockery etc. It’s not.
It’s just bitterness, anger, hostility, vengeance, KILL-THE-MESSENGER etc. ad nauseum.
Rain on em. That kind of attitude is not worth a bucket of puke.
I consider them fallen angels instead of demons but the point is moot.
ABSOLUTELY.
THE METICULOUS 2 VOLUME RESEARCH ON THAT WITH ACCESS TO FORMERLY LOCKED AWAY CHURCH DOCUMENTS IN PORTUGAL IS QUITE CONCLUSIVE.
ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT.
I used to believe Fatima more or less as the chruch teaches it. I don’t have that luxury any more.
My Jesus of the Bible said He came to serve not to be served. Oh wait you believe in the bioenginerred jesus and not the bible so I do not have any idea what your jesus believes.
Only the Jesus in the Bible saves. Accept HIM the I AM
I observe nothing to convince me that’s a believable post.
INDEED.
The options are: aliens are real, or they are demons posing as aliens, or an awful lot of people are making up very similar stories.
There are other options of course. One is being illustrated on this thread.
The point I've been concentrating on is the juxtaposition of believing these things and having trouble believing less bizarre things - if they are Catholic.
I don't believe, as the people quoted in the newspaper article you linked to, that Mary appeared *in* a stain (nor am I in any way required to by my Church). However, if I believed the world of Quix's, this would be a trifle, an angel could do it without breaking a sweat.
Yet this type is singled out for ridicule, for obvious disbelief and "superstition" by one who has angels, fallen ones, performing all sorts of bizarre feats and "holographic technology."
If you are agreeing with the plausibility of the angel/demon/ET/UFO/bioengineering/3-D holographic world, then the same challenge applies to you. If fallen angels can do all this, then it should be no problem for God to institute the Holy Eucharist as the Church has always held.
Also, making the thread "about" individual Freepers is a form of "making it personal."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
You flatter yourself if you think I am offended by what you think of me.
And no, no scorecard forthcoming from me either.
I’ve made my views on different religious matters more than clear enough. If you want to know them, go back through my posting history and find them.
I’ll even provide the link so you don’t have to bother going to the trouble of clicking on my screen name. That’ll take you right tot he first page of my posting history. See if you can read it correctly, while you’re at it.

Then why didn't any of you (pl) go to him and confront him about it or ask for clarification instead of high fiving and back slapping each other over what you(pl) thought was some bizarre belief systme that he had set up?
Such behavior does not smack of real concern for his soul or eternal destiny.
I assume you are aware that a formal PhD Dissertation has a fairly standard format, style etc.
However, mine, while staying within those limits to a point, was still more than a little unconventional in tone, candor, style.
And it communicated quite well. All who read it praised it highly.
I HAVE NOT OBSERVED ON HERE THAT
THE PROBLEM IS
BECAUSE MY COMMUNCIATIONS DO NOT COMMUNICATE.
THE PROBLEMS OCCUR BECAUSE MY COMMUNICATIONS
ARE VERY EFFECTIVE AND PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BECAUSE THEY HATE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
I don’t know that it would be the least bit fruitful to try and outline for the whateverth time how my style came to be.
It has virtually always been as it is from my earliest years in writing in school. And, my very highly educated teachers in the advanced English classes always encouraged me in my unique style.
I had a univ level teacher in my senior High School advanced English track classes. Ditto my Sophomore and Jr years.
I perhaps can say briefly that the few times I’ve dare to try and be more conventional . . . not only has it NOT WORKED AT ALL WELL, GOD HIMSELF GOT VERY STERN WITH ME TO RETURN to my ‘natural bent.’
I can understand how that might be mystifying to you. It isn’t any longer, to me. Explaining it is a bit difficult.
Explaining it in a way that results in understanding is even greatly MORE difficult.
Not to mention that you(pl) then proceeded to go and paint virtually every non-Catholic on this thread with the same broad brush.
Hardly evidence of interest in saving his soul, or anyone else’s for that matter.
And, FWIW, if you really WERE interested in saving anyone’s soul, what’s the point of keeping scorecards?
Please count for me the number of posts where I accuse other posts of being too “wierd.”
INDEED.
THX.
I hope we’re gone, too.
However, there will be folks saved through the Great Tribulation . . . martyrs etc.
GO AHEAD AND SAY THAT I SAID
THINGS I DIDN’T SAY
MY JESUS OF NAZARETH AND BETHLEHEM SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF FATHER GOD
KNOWS THE TRUTH.
Quix said they are going to
IOW, they are going to (surprise, surprise) LIE to people and people are going to believe it.
Such behavior does not smack of real concern for his soul or eternal destiny.
Now now.
There ya go agin’ . . . asssuming they are the least bit interested in THE TRUTH.
