Intended Catholic Dictatorship
Independent Individualist ^ | 8/27/10 | Reginald Firehammer

Posted on 08/27/2010 11:45:13 AM PDT by Hank Kerchief

Intended Catholic Dictatorship

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.

Catholicism has remained the majority religion of Switzerland for 1200 years, even thorugh the black years of Calvin.

What a great example of papists making up fiction to "prove" their prejudice.

Protestantism was the majority religion in Switzerland from the Reformation until after the Second World War when Italian, Spanish and Portuguese immigrants tipped the balance away from the truth towards Rome.

No, Catholics hate (or at least we’re supposed to hate) the way the doctrines taught by St. Paul are twisted and used against their purpose. So yes, sometimes he’s a pain in the backside because people bend his teaching into every conceivable shape... St. Peter warned about that, and it wasn’t an idle warning having no basis in reality.

Peter called Pauls writings SCRIPTURE. So Without twisting please show us where Jesus or Paul or Peter taught the role of Christ was only to open heaven so we can earn or work get in.

Please use only Paul, Jesus or Peter in context

Thanks

You said you were an agnostic..

The church has always read that Scripture as prophecy, only agnostics dont

At last! You acknowledge Mary as the Mother of God!

I have never denied that Mary was the mother of Christ

It realy gripes me when the reformed think they are our instructors, that they can examine our inmost beliefs at will simply by demand. I wonder if they think they can give us all tests? It makes me wonder who they think they are. Certainly not examples of Christ’s healing Love.

Only the natural man is insulted when asked about the work of Christ.. I asked her what she meant in her post.
Are you ashamed or offended by the gospel ,or is it that you do not have an answer? I asked her not you BTW

I believe that according to double-predestination, the only thing required for salvation is to be born lucky.

Or is there something else one must “do”.

anyone can see how much you need the intercession of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

How could the intercession of a dead unbeliever help anyone? She certainly didn't help herself by not believing in Christ or God.

Unless Teresa received faith in Christ before she died, she's in no position to help anyone or herself.

It would indeed be a miracle to see any Calvinist display any humility.

What is more humble? To believe, as RCs believe, their own good works and righteousness save them, or to believe, as Protestants believe, that Christ's good work and Christ's righteousness save them?

You are a self confessed agnostic.. We would call agnostics tares in the Gods field, waiting to be pulled up and burned ...

What you know or believe you know has not even convinced you..there is no reason to even read what you write if you can not convince yourself.. Only the lost can take it seriously

It’s not very humble to believe, as Calvinists believe, their own birth has saved them no matter what they do, think or say or how they act towards others.

"What was the purpose of Jesus speaking in parables?"

I have a complete and true answer, but I know it will be dismissed out of hand before it is even read and frankly, I just don't want to argue about it with dimwits and liars.


Simple answer: Put your reply in writing and stop talking to yourself.

Lastly, Old Reggie has ducked, dodged and obfuscated every question posed to him and I don't feel anymore compelled than he to answer anything.

Completely untrue, a lie, a deliberate lie, dishonest, but not unexpected. Carry on!

Besides, what does faith have to do with the Greek meaning of heresy? That is a linguistic topic and if you know any biblical Greek you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself this way.

1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

"The Gospels are Old Testament."
Not in my Bible or any Bible I have ever seen. I'll bet they are listed in the index of your Bible as New Testament forming the foundation of the New and Everlasting Covenant too. Are we supposed to just pretend that the Gospels are just some sort of contextual footnote or reference to support Paulican dogma instead of occupying the apex of biblical hierarchy and containing the actual Words of Christ?

That is a theological principle.. But if you do not believe me, when did Jesus say He was going to institute a New testament?

You continue to defame a dead woman, who gave her life to Christ, on a mission for decades to the poorest of the poor. As you sow, so shall you reap (Christ said that).

Just out of curiosity, do you believe Albert Schweitzer is worthy of Sainthood?

Alas, an accident of birth has separated us from the Gnostic Reformed®.

No, Catholics revere and venerate St. Paul for what he was, but we do not recognize as the neo-Christ or THE "Alter Christus" as the Paulicans do.

You are right he is not an " Alter Christus" like the Catholic priests and pope.. He was only ordained by God to be the catechist of the NT church not another Christ
