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.
If God ordained a child it will be, no matter birth control,or tubal ligation or vasectomy or hysterectomy
Are you prepared to use this same logic to justify abortion? And assuming you aren't, why not?
Did the Sixth Ecumenical Council declare "INFALLIBLY" that Honorius was guilty of Heresy?
Thanks for the ping. I’m flabbergasted.
And the Catholic propaganda machine controlled Hollywood.
No.
I don’t understand your position here.
Clarify it, please.
If one chooses tubal ligation or vasectomy, that is not a premeditated, willful, human-and-not-divine choice?
I also am the parent of a large family. However, I won’t say that has made me bold, rather than “shy”.
I also don’t believe Dr. E. is shy.
They do that a lot.
Maybe it stems from the fact they're used to following the orders of men and not questioning what is written.
They believe according to human authority whereas Christians believe according to faith.
Apples/oranges.
A WAGGLER!
In 2005 three congregations withdrew from the OPC to join the Presbyterian Church in America, one of which was a rather large congregation, resulting in a net loss of members for the OPC in 2005. The membership of the OPC has remained at about 28,000 for more than two years, which is a cause of concern.so they make a lot of noise for such a small grouping and don't regard even their fellow Presbyterians well.
ROTFLOL!
Yeah. Shy. 8~)
Amen to your Scriptural, eloquent post.
"And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me" -- Hebrews 2:13
1.You admit to being a relativist just like the secular humanistic agnostic bunch
2 You need to read Gn 1:28 when God disabuses one who thinks birth control is a relative matter
3.Your deterministic mantra is tantamount to denying the existence of sin. I wouldn't have time to list how that contradicts the message of Jesus
You need to keep your nose in the bible and pray for an indwelling of the Holy Spirit to guide you since the post you just made points not to God but to the prince of the nether world.
Surrender your life to Jesus not to the agnostic world.
Lol. Still hoisted by their own petards.
8~)
You demand and receive answers from everyone else.
So how many children do you have?
I offered no proof dates, I only offered an affirmation of the concept embedded within the Catechism. The concept predates Marx by at least 600 years. Although the term "social justice" was adopted by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in the 1840s. The concept is largely based on the works of St. Thomas Aquinas and is grounded in Thomistic metaphysics.
Now that you have been made aware of your error all subsequent repetitions will legitimately be classified as lies. Keep trying. Sooner or later you are bound to get something right.
Thats probably why John Wayne converted.
Consensus!
No small thing. 8~)
There, fixed it for you.
I have rarely ever seen a post as inappropriate as this one. It's absolutely inexcusable asking for that kind of information.
Are we not just all Christians friends?
I doubt it.
Of what and how determined?
Your hypothetical is based on fallacy, so try again.
