Exorcists warn involvement in Freemasonry exposes the soul to the demonicMsgr. Charles Pope, a seasoned priest in exorcism and deliverance ministry, criticized public dialogue among prelates and Freemasons, emphasizing the grave sin and spiritual danger of Freemasonry, which he says invites demonic influence.While Italian cardinals “dialogue” with Freemasons, exorcists say they regularly cast out demons that plague families due to Masonic curses invoked upon multiple generations, warning that any involvement in Freemasonry is inviting the demonic into one’s life and that of one’s children.

Chesterton famously said “Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died.” This reflects the 20th century history of Mexico. Chesterton continues that quote with “Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.”The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920)It has also been said that a revolution always eats its own. The Mexican Revolution was no exception. Many of its leaders, from Francisco Madero (1913, age...

[Catholic Caucus] Masonic Conspiracy, Lefebvre, and the Murder of John Paul I[Catholic Caucus] Fr. Charles Murr is one of the last living witnesses to Vatican corruption who is both orthodox and courageous.

Charles Murr who continues to show that he has both, setting an example for all clerics everywhere.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowIn an interview with Kevin Symonds back in 2020,...

[Catholic Caucus] Announcing Fr. Charles Murr’s new book of memoirs, Murder in the 33rd Degree: The Gagnon Investigation into Vatican & FreemasonryIn Catholic discourse today, one notices two extremes when the question of Freemasonry and its (past or present) penetration into the Church hierarchy is raised.Some people, rather like McCarthy with Communists in the 1950s, are inclined to see Freemasons behind every desk and department. Others, reacting against this excess, dismiss the whole idea as nuttery, as a “conspiracy theory” that has no basis in reality.Both extremes suffer from the defect of being impatient, unhistorical, and unphilosophical. A patient...

The founder and chairman of a major property management software firm told a coterie of associates, including the governor of Utah, that COVID was a deadly Jewish plot. “I believe there is a sadistic effort underway to euthanize the American people,” David Bateman, the founder of Entrata, said in the email, first reported Tuesday by Fox 13, a Salt Lake City TV station. The email, subject-lined “Genocide,” suggested that COVID-19 and its vaccines are the work of Jews, and that both are “attacking the reproductive systems of women” and eroding natural immunity. “I believe the Jews are behind this,” Bateman...

Does It Really Matter if Bugnini Was a You-Know-What?I once wrote an article for Rorate Caeli entitled “Conservative Fragility.” I have noticed in recent weeks the extent to which conservative Catholics are sounding jittery, short-tempered, dismissive, and intolerant towards traditionally-minded Catholics who refuse to embrace the papally-bestowed role of scapegoat for the abrogation of Summorum Pontificum.One such person in particular—no need for a name, since my point is not about a name but a phenomenon—heatedly makes fun of anyone who mentions that Bugnini probably or certainly was a Freemason, mockingly referring to “Viganò’s flying monkeys” and other such sarcastic turns...

Ian Brown, Van Morrison and Noel Gallagher have been objecting to lockdown rules, is this the start of a dangerous trend?The timing looks a bit suspicious, right? Just days after I published a column about the dangers of falling for Ian Brown’s Covid conspiracy rants on Twitter, Noel Gallagher – a man never knowingly muffled – joined the anti-mask fray, insisting that going maskless could only affect himself, like a resident of Bethnal Green in 1941 arguing “well, if everybody else has got their lights off I’m not going to be hit by any of their bombs, so if I...
