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.
Do tell. What other tidbits from satan's squatpot has he instructed you to pass on to us?
That’s okay.
The believers that you pinged are enough to deal with the unbelievers.
Further if you find a word that doesn't seem to make sense as it understood in common usage, how do you discover it's meaning? If you wish I'll give an example: the English word “shambles”.
Luck? Who said anything about luck? It is the Judge who Judges. This is God, not some straw god that Luther or Calvin created.
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.
I find this silly statement at odds with Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter and James. You may wish to try Matthew 25 for a lesson.
But the word is still “she” just as you said, “The word is still person”. How would you know that is a mistranslation just from reading that Scripture in the Douay Bible? Or if you’re proficient in Latin, The Vulgate?

He advises that all should embrace his Roman Catholic Church.
.
> “Who said anything about luck?”
.
You!
.
Actually, no it doesn't. It is taking God at his word.
John 3:18
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
. He advises that all should embrace his Roman Catholic Church.
. Thank you for the inside information. Has Lucifuge Rofocale instructed you in this as well?
. You!
Back away from the moonshine and Lucifuge Rofocale until you can prove it.
Actually, no it doesn't. It is taking God at his word.
John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Actually, yes it does. At the moment of your death, will you believe in God? You cannot say that until then. And if you go back to the Greek, the word is condemned, not judged, I believe. I will ask Kosta to confirm. And if belief is required, then the process of purgatory will set in according the Judgement of deeds.
Too bad that you never read your own posts.
You and Pope Lucey, or whatever you called him, would get a good laugh if you did.

“Rome doesn’t spin. We read what’s written.”
Well SOMEBODY is sure putting a lot of spin on the ‘mistranslation’ of Gen. 3:15!
From The Catholic Encyclopedia under the subject heading on Mary:
“(2) The second point of difference between the Hebrew text and our version concerns the agent who is to inflict the mortal wound on the serpent: our version agrees with the present Vulgate text in reading “she” (ipsa) which refers to the woman, while the Hebrew text reads hu’ (autos, ipse) which refers to the seed of the woman. According to our version, and the Vulgate reading, the woman herself will win the victory; according to the Hebrew text, she will be victorious through her seed. In this sense does the Bull “Ineffabilis” ascribe the victory to Our Blessed Lady. The reading “she” (ipsa) is neither an intentional corruption of the original text, nor is it an accidental error; it is rather an explanatory version expressing explicitly the fact of Our Lady’s part in the victory over the serpent, which is contained implicitly in the Hebrew original. The strength of the Christian tradition as to Mary’s share in this victory may be inferred from the retention of “she” in St. Jerome’s version in spite of his acquaintance with the original text and with the reading “he” (ipse) in the old Latin version.”
You and Pope Lucey, or whatever you called him, would get a good laugh if you did.
You are subservient to Lucifuge Rofocale and don't know his name?
Really?
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
> “You are subservient to Lucifuge Rofocale and don’t know his name?”
.
I am subservient only to Jesus Christ, and know none of your family names.
.
So the words of Jesus, Paul, Peter, James and John (epistles) mean nothing other this out of context two verses? The Gospel message is of Jesus and not of any man.
Your rejection of Christ in favor of your own works literally screams from your posts.
Continue to reject the plain meaning of God’s word at your own peril. I have no more time for your peddling of pagan idolatry.

You give us a message direct from satan. Protest all you wish, but the record on this thread is clear. If Lucifuge Rofocale is your master, then you may wish to google up what happens to his servants. I am not subservient to satan or any of his minions and I cannot give anyone messages from him or them. Good luck with your chosen master.
Continue to reject the plain meaning of God’s word at your own peril. I have no more time for your peddling of pagan idolatry.
Funny, I have my computer speakers on and I hear no literal screaming from my posts. May I enquire as to your level of education and in which state?
You have not given us plain anything except the message from your master. How much time do you have for the worship of the master of hell that gives you messages to devout Christians? .
