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.
I know that.
And it’s greatly concerning to me. However, as I’ve noted before, The Lord has pressed upon me to leave all that regarding you—to Him.
That does NOT negate my communicating about such things hereon, of course.
"There are no protestants present just Unitarians, New Age, Four Square, Deniers of the divinity of Jesus and assortments of other non confessing spirits. Those with the white hankies comprise the rest of the thread"
"If you want protestants look elsewhere as it appears after the True Confessions this afternoon we never had any on this thread."

A) When haven't people thought these were the end times?
B) "Open" is not the word I would use to describe a mind that believes this.
Come on please, Cronos.
Iscool has not yet made his pronouncement to the Church of Iscool (population one) from the LaZBoy Throne in the Hall of Sports Theology and probably will not until the final score is in from the Detroit-Chicago game on Sunday.
THX THX.
PRAISE GOD FOR THAT.
Rome lies and clearly, Rome cannot count.

I know. As have noted before . . . the
RUBBER MATH BOOKS
are part of their rubber library . . .
including their DAFFYNITIONARY.
thank you, those little silverlings are weak tho the Branch is strong
Well, it occurs to me that Christ walked thru walls after his ressurrection...that would certainly indicate that whatever body He had was indeed changed from what it was prior. And he appeared where doors were locked...
Also on the road to Emmaus....they were kept from recognizing Jesus...Luke 24:16... Something to consider I would think.
Further... later on Jesus “disappeared” from their sight...Luke 24: 31
and still later...”While they were still talking Jesus himself stood among them” they were startled and frightened thinking they had seen a ghost.” Luke 24:36,37
John records...””the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them.” John 20:18
A week later yet again...”Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them” John 20:26
So it surely appears Christ’s body had made some sort of transfermation.

There you go again with that classygreeneyedblonde thing with the colored fonts. Do you really think anyone will bother to read such a long-winded diatribe?
And for the record, you, who believe in UFOs, have a lot of nerve making fun of Catholics and our beliefs. I’m actually shocked that Bible-believing Sola Scriptura folks don’t get on your case for believing all sorts of hogwash that isn’t in the Bible. But I guess they think that since you hate Catholics, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” That makes their credibility zero, just like yours.
Nice of you to say...thank you. ;)
There are baptized Catholics and practicing Catholics, the latter being a subset of the former. The parishes keep registers, people are removed from and added to the registers all the time. Parishes report numbers to the diocese and the dioceses usually contribute reports to the national episcopal conferences.
People change parishes frequently, sometimes they don't bother to inform the office of the parish they leave. Usually the parish will purge people from the active roster annually. Nobody wants to have inflated numbers because that will seriously impact the reports on per capita contributions. Also, if parish A has 20k people on the rolls and only 3k communicants that's going to look horrible. No parish priest is going to risk the wrath of his bishop just so he can join in the Catholic conspiracy to numerically dominate the world.
LOL.
INDEED.
That seems to be one of the tricks some posters like to use to discredit and smear others, they refer to a post and completely rewrite it, re-post it and then it appears that the original poster has said something heinous. This is out and out lying and should be called to the RMs attention.
Now, are you suggesting that the cup has been offered in all Catholic Churches since VII for instance?
You know the answer. I know the answer. It is not necessary to suggest this has been a common custom of the Catholic Church.
Reportedly, the globalist shadow government is in control of UFO related technology allowing a beam to be directed at a concrete block wall . . . then enabling troops to walk through the wall.
