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.

The debate between North and South, rule by Davidian king vs. prophets, is a major theme in the OT. They even allied with enemies of each other and fought. Jerusalem was chosen in large measure because it was neutral ground.
These were theocracies. The proper mix of governance between prophet, king, country/city, temple/people was in constant argument.
But in the end, error and destruction came to both systems.
Respectfully, your opinion on what is absurd and preposterous has recently been shown to be most unreliable.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace. Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:1-9
Ping me when you have video of the grey bioengineered demon critters.
I’m going out of town for the rest of the weekend. Will check back afterward.
Thanks for the discussions.
INDEED!
Ping me when you have video of the grey bioengineered demon critters.
Videos and stills of one variety of greys are available here:
Particularly here:

I have no idea whether they are the same as some claim is ONE variety of greys . . . bioengineered shells housing demons.
Greys are but one variety of ET. And there are evidently a significant diversity of types of greys.
Thank You again Alamo Girl for posting God’s Word where real truth and freedom is found.
This has nothing to do with the existence or non existence of anyone. This has everything to do with your wild claims without any backup whatsoever and then indignantly attacking anyone who asks for proof. If anyone has anything to apologize for, it is you.
Now as to Jesse Marcel, Jr. We have dialup at home and net nanny at work. Is there another source that you would recommend?
I went to the site Marceljr.com in order to see what he says.
Quix: He is 100% disabled from Iraq tourS injuries late in his Army surgeon's life. He was called back from retirement due to his rare specialty being so needed.
Marceljr: The Iraqi war required my being called back to active duty in October of 2004 shortly after my 68th birthday. I then served as a flight surgeon for the 189th Attack Helicopter Battalion flying 225 hrs of combat while in country being discharged again from active duty in December of 2005 to the Ready Reserve...
I am currently employed as a specialist in Otolaryngology at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Ft. Harrison, Montana.
If he was 100% disabled, why was he discharged to the Ready Reserve and is now currently employed as a specialist in the VA?
Quix: Dedicated, authentic Roman Catholic
I was unable to find corroboration for this. Since you made it a point in prior posts to mention this as well and some of the harpies have made it a point to snicker at it and say that NOW Catholics HAVE to believe it, do you have any proof of it?
Quix: Roswell UFO debris handler.
Marceljr: On the way back to the airfield, Marcel stopped off at home at around 1-2 AM to show his wife and son the strange material he had found. Both his wife Viaud and son Jesse Jr. examine the debris Jesse Sr. had brought home. Jesse Jr. remembers there were pink/purple/lavender symbols along the centre sections of some of the small metallic "I" beams in amongst the debris.
Pink, purple and lavender symbols on I-beams? Are we being invaded by Liberace with a pilot's license?
The fact is that the site shows pictures only of the 'balloon debris' and there are no pictures of the alleged UFO debris. If, when I was a little kid, my dad had come home with a carload of debris from a flying saucer, I'd have stolen some first and then worn out a camera (with colour film) photographing the rest. Where are the pictures? No way that Army intelligence could have found them all.
So there we have it, Quix. I appreciate that you did include this information on Youtube, whatever it is. However, there are things that still don't add up and claims that are as yet unproven.
You are quite welcome, dear marbren, thank you for your encouragements!
lol. In the scratched out bible, Mary is everything from the ark to the woman who flies off into the desert. She's the Alpha and the Omega. Maybe she's every animal on Noah's ark, who knows. Plus now she has to answer all the prayers directed at her and rule over purgatory and hell. Goodness.
Now those pesky "offspring". What to do, what to do
Everyone who has had the misfortune to talk with people in the heart or on the edge of mental disorder, knows that their most sinister quality is a horrible clarity of detail; a connecting of one thing with another in a map more elaborate, than a maze.
Applause and more applause. Chesterton was and is greatly underappreciated as a wit and as a keen observer of the human race and all of its foibles.
Of course there is no explicit development of what happens in the Eucharist in the Bible. God wanted to make sure that theologians of later centuries could get work, so he left stuff for them to dope out.
I'm tired. That's the best I can do for right now.
I agree with you completely. I have never accepted the current state of Israel in any prophetic way.
They found two of the pens that were used. Here they are
I keep forgetting that reason doesn't count at all sometimes.When the Sola Scriptura folks argue, they seem to think that they have no philosophical underpinning to their arguments. That's not true. What they have is incoherent and unexamined underpinnings to their arguments.
AND I'm impressed with a theme, pejorative adjectives are merely descriptive, not restrictive. That is "vain repetition" is taken to mean that all repetition is vain, despite the repetition of Psalm 136.
Similarly it is urged that all philosophy is a bad thing because Paul says,"See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ."
The construction of this verse that condemns all philosophy does spare the construer of the difficult work of careful thought. But it cannot spare him from philosophy. He will just not know how to use the tool he insists on using, like the person who thinks that substance means matter and still says that after 5 new handles and 2 new heads, he has had only one ax all his life, and doesn't realize how incoherent he's being.
It seems to me clear that God doesn't come in parts. The argument to get there has been posted in this thread, and I saw no effort to contradict it.
If God does not come in parts,
If Jesus is God,
If Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament,
Then ALL of Jesus is present in each fragment, however small, of the sacrament.
The chief benefit of the sacrament is participation in Jesus, all other "spiritual" benefits derive from that.
So someone who receives a very small bit or "only under one 'kind'" receives all the benefit he is capable of receiving from the Sacrament.
It would seem to be the VERY sort of legalism of which we are too often unjustly accused for us to insist on reception all the time in two kinds despite any difficulties and problems attendant on that insistence.
If trying to think coherently and clearly is a tradition of men, whose tradition is it to think incoherently and unclearly?
