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.
Ok, let's see. If Mary was sinful, what would happen if Almighty God Himself came to inhabit her for 9 months? The Church has understood from the Apostolic times that she was not sinful. No doubt you guys surpass the Apostles.
His mother was responsible for His humanness , His DNA, His human nature.. The Father was the author of His divinity . He did not need a goddess mother to be God incarnate
Will the Reformed heresy never end? I thought that the Church had rid the world of you guys in the first millennium. What you preach is not Christianity, not your Trinitarian beliefs or anything else.
BTW The ark of the covenant was Jesus not Mary, unless she is the judge of the world and needs a Mercy seat upon her.. Tha ark led the people into battle.. Mark the OT is all about CHRIST not His mother
The Ark carried God. You might want to head on back to the OT and read up on the Ark.
EXACTLY that is why Marys spiritual condition was of no consequence
Wow; that's all I can say - wow. Do you now see why see why we doubt whether the Reformed are Christian.
Correct, and that is what everyman that credits himself with being able to purchase his salvation by following church law, or the commandments or good deeds tries . They are attempting to be able to say to God, you owe me salvation based on MY MERITS . I am "better " than most people...It is an attempt to oblige God to save you
Negative. The Catholic understands that he will stand alone before God and answer for each and every action and inaction in his whole life. There is no purchasing, there is no pass, there is no sliding by. There is only God.
But the saved do not credit themselves with anything of value before God.. Like the publican we stand before God as sinners in need of a Savior.. We credit Christ, as the author and finisher of our faith.. we have no standing or merit before God EXCEPT IN CHRIST..who is our propitiation before God, who merited salvation for us by His work..not ours..
By declaring personal salvation before your death, before Christ Judges you, you attempt to gainsay Him and to anticipate His Judgement. Wrong. I cannot say that I am saved because He has not yet Judged me. It is His Judgement that matters, not any human.
Mark let me ask you, why does God save men?
Because He wishes to have all those men who wish to be with Him forever with Him forever. He loves all mankind. More than that, Scripture does not state.
You want to read this , cause they buried it to keep up the lie of the queen of heaven .

Thanks for your research. It seems that there is a highly specialized Catholic Dictionary with it’s own understanding of “always believed”.
Quite so, OLD REGGIE.
Though . . . given that Proddys
do NOT have such a slippery dictionary . . . perhaps we should determine what the
valid and durable name of that
Vatican ‘dictionary’ is.
I’ve been given to understand that the proper term is
The Vatican Daffynitionary.
If you have a better authority on it, please let me know.
No Way, Jose
You have been misinformed . . . or are suffering some sort of wishful thinking . . . or . . . ???
The rest of the Scriptures that annalex was so interested in plainly point to Christ as that “seed” not “she”.
Of course, the state of your soul is also worrying...
>”I’m surrounded by it.”
.
Your posted words say that you have not the slightest idea what it even is.
If we go by the deranged, fearful rants that you’ve posted, we must assume that there is an infinite wall between you and the Lord.
.
> “Latin’s a dead language.”
.
Latin has always been the preferred language of the occult; the very tongue of Satan.
.
So many stumbing blocks.... so little time. It’s like being on the track team. Well, more like an obstacle course with these folks. Then there is the appalling arrogance.
Luke 6:41-43 (New International Version)
41”Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
forgot to ping you... sorry
. Your posted words say that you have not the slightest idea what it even is.
Try it in English.
If we go by the deranged, fearful rants that you’ve posted, we must assume that there is an infinite wall between you and the Lord.
Who's we? Have you joined the coven of harpies here? Or do you cower in a basement with a dozen losers pretending that you are mimicking the early Christian Church (which repudiates all heretics, sorry to say). Try the Gospel of Jesus Christ for some illumination, rather than comic book sites. Good luck with that...
Actually, by his own accounting system, he was Jewish.
OR . . . .
Are we stuck with a set of trained RCC anti-defamation personnel . . . lawyers . . . ??? I really don't know, no I really am not certain that is the case . . .
But it seems that the fashion some of them use to distract us from the usage of certain words and phrases, and the way they re-fashion definitions, is the way lawyers do it in court when they are more interested in winning a case than upholding the truth.
Luck is of no more value than trying to earn your eternal salvation, as you advocate.
Those that are earning it will never find it; it is a gift, and can only be thankfully received, not for sale at any price.
.
Rome doesn’t spin. We read what’s written.
The word is still “person”.
> “...the way lawyers do it in court when they are more interested in winning a case than upholding the truth.”
.
Which is always!
.
Yes, that is true. “She” there is a mistranslation and the Church acknowledges that.
