The bold proclamation in the headline of this article was personally witnessed by St. Maximilian Kolbe, who watched Freemasons celebrate their bicentennial in St. Peter’s Square in 1917. St. Maximilian Kolbe saw banners bearing these words amidst the revelry. It’s a jarring and shocking statement, but it is totally in keeping with the aims of Freemasonry and it bears a great deal of significance for us today.
Before we go any further, it must be made perfectly clear that the Lepanto Institute is in NO WAY accusing Pope Francis of being a Freemason or suggesting that he is a willing advocate for Masonic principles. However, in light of certain recent events, what has become manifestly obvious is that there is a grave moral threat within the walls of the Church being orchestrated by unscrupulous men. The intent of this article is to attempt to shed some light on these events and perhaps make sense of these troubling times.
The banners observed by St. Maximilian Kolbe call to mind the battle plan against the Catholic Church as established by Freemasons. In 1859, the French Cardinal Jacques Crétineau-Joly published Masonic documents obtained by the Vatican in his book, “The Roman Church facing the Revolution.” The documents came from a lodge of Freemasonry called the Alta Vendita. Twenty-six years later, in 1885, Msgr. George Dillon published an English translation of these documents in his book, “Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked as the Secret Power Behind Communism.”
According to these documents, the Alta Vendita lodge of Freemasonry openly declared that its “ultimate end is that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution – the final destruction forever of Catholicism, and even of the Christian idea.” But the declaration of this intent isn’t the focus of this article. What is particularly noteworthy in these documents is how they intend to bring about this destruction. The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita says:
“We do not intend to win the Popes to our cause, to make them neophytes of our principles, propagators of our ideas. That would be a ridiculous dream; and if events turn out in some way, if Cardinals or prelates, for example, of their own free will or by surprise, should enter into a part of our secrets, this is not at all an incentive for desiring their elevation to the See of Peter. That elevation would ruin us. Ambition alone would have led them to apostasy, the requirements of power would force them to sacrifice us. What we must ask for, what we should look for and wait for, as the Jews wait for the Messiah, is a Pope according to our needs.
“With that we shall march more securely towards the assault on the Church than with the pamphlets of our brethren in France and even the gold of England. Do you want to know the reason for this? It is that with this, in order to shatter the high rock on which God built His Church, we no longer need Hannibalian vinegar, or need gunpowder, or even need our arms. We have the little finger of the Successor of Peter engaged in the ploy, and this little finger is as good, for this crusade, as all the Urban IIs and all the St. Bernards in Christendom.
“Now then, to assure ourselves of a Pope of the required dimensions, it is a question first of shaping for this pope a generation worthy of the reign we are dreaming of. Leave old people and those of mature age aside; go to the youth, and if it is possible, even to the children.”
Bear in mind that this was written over 100 years ago … this isn’t the musing of some aluminum-foil wearing conspiracy blog. A little later on, the Alta Vendita says:
“You will contrive for yourselves, at little cost, a reputation as good Catholics and pure patriots. This reputation will put access to our doctrines into the midst of the young clergy, as well as deeply into the monasteries. In a few years by the force of things, this young clergy will have overrun all functions; they will form the sovereign’s council, they will be called to choose a pontiff who should reign. And this pontiff, like most of his contemporaries, will be necessarily more or less imbued with the Italian and humanitarian principles that we are going to begin to put into circulation.”
In short, the Alta Vendita is saying that it doesn’t intend to place a Freemason in the papacy, but to gain control of everything around the pope and elect one sympathetic to them.
St. Maximilian Kolbe expounded on this plan at the founding of the Militia of the Immaculata. On October 16, just three days after the miracle of Fatima, the saint wrote:
“These men without God find themselves in a tragic situation. Such implacable hatred for the Church and the ambassadors of Christ on Earth is not in the power of individual persons, but of a systematic activity stemming in the final analysis from Freemasonry. In particular, it aims to destroy the Catholic religion. Their decrees have been spread throughout the world, in different disguises. But with the same goal – religious indifference and weakening of moral forces, according to their basic principle – ‘We will conquer the Catholic Church not by argumentation, but rather with moral corruption.‘”
And so today, the objective Catholic must admit that there is an orchestrated effort to corrupt the moral teaching of the Catholic Church. Even if one wishes to dismiss the historical secret plan to destroy the Church from within, current events are a lot harder to deny. For instance, Marco Tosatti, an Italian journalist, reported on 1 October that a secret “task force” was working on a possible post-synodal document allowing Holy Communion for divorced and remarried, cohabiting and same-sex couples.
This news came on the heels of an explosive claim by Cardinal Danneels, one of the appointed papal delegates to the Synod this month, that he participated in a “mafia” to actively oppose Pope Benedict, push for his resignation, and elect Pope Francis. In 2013, Cardinal Danneels applauded same-sex civil unions. Cdl. Danneels’ biography also names Cardinals Carlo Maria Martini and Achille Silvestrini from Italy, Walter Kasper and Karl Lehmann from Germany, and Dutch Cardinal Adriaan van Luyn as well as Basil Hume from England members of this “mafia.” Cardinal Kasper, of course, is the Synod participant best known for his proposal to allow divorced and “remarried” Catholics to receive Holy Communion.
Keep in mind that the aim of Freemasonry is to “conquer the Church … with moral corruption.” It is worth recalling that in 2013, the newly elected Pope Francis addressed both homosexuality and Freemasonry in the same breath:
“The problem is not having this [homosexual] orientation. No, we must be brothers and sisters. The problem is lobbying for this orientation, or lobbies of greed, political lobbies, Masonic lobbies, so many lobbies.”
In addition to admitting participation in a cabal within the Church and promoting homosexuality, Cardinal Danneels actively participated in a Masonic meeting, dressed in Masonic regelia. In 2008, Danneels admitted to dressing in the ritualistic white garb of Freemasonry in order to deliver a lecture at the Masonic Temple in Belgium. To the right is a picture of Cdl. Danneels shaking hands with the Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Belgium, holding his copies of Masonic books “Become a Freemason at the Grand Orient of Belgium” and “The Treasures of the Temple.”
In 1738, Pope Clement XII expressly announced the automatic excommunication for any Catholic having association with Freemasons whatsoever. His Encyclical, In Eminenti, he stated:
“Wherefore We command most strictly and in virtue of holy obedience, all the faithful of whatever state, grade, condition, order, dignity or pre-eminence, whether clerical or lay, secular or regular, even those who are entitled to specific and individual mention, that none, under any pretext or for any reason, shall dare or presume to enter, propagate or support these aforesaid societies of Liberi Muratori or Francs Massons, or however else they are called, or to receive them in their houses or dwellings or to hide them, be enrolled among them, joined to them, be present with them, give power or permission for them to meet elsewhere, to help them in any way, to give them in any way advice, encouragement or support either openly or in secret, directly or indirectly, on their own or through others; nor are they to urge others or tell them, incite or persuade them to be enrolled in such societies or to be counted among their number, or to be present or to assist them in any way; but they must stay completely clear of such Societies, Companies, Assemblies, Meetings, Congregations or Conventicles, under pain of excommunication for all the above mentioned people, which is incurred by the very deed without any declaration being required, and from which no one can obtain the benefit of absolution, other than at the hour of death, except through Ourselves or the Roman Pontiff of the time.”
And Cardinal Danneels is not the only Masonically-associated cleric operating in the open. In 2009, Bishop Lelis Lara of the Diocese of Itabira in Brazil spoke at a Masonic Lodge on the topic of “relations between the Catholic Church and Masonry.” In his talk, Bp. Lara falsely claimed that the 1983 Code of Canon Law put an end to the excommunication of Catholics who became Freemasons. As justification for speaking at a Masonic Lodge, Bp. Lara referred to a Christmas Mass for Masonic Lodge members offered by Cardinal Avelar Brandão Vilela of Salvador in 1975.
On October 10, 2022, the editor in chief of the publication Correio da Manha wrote an article on the topic of Freemasonry, recalling the Masonic Christmas Mass offered by Cdl. Vilela. He wrote:
“As a pre-teen, I attended a Christmas Mass for the lodge members, celebrated in the Cathedral Basilica of Salvador by the Cardinal Primate of Brazil, Dom Avelar Brandão Vilela. He is the brother of former senator Teotônio Vilela, the minstrel of the Diretas Já movement. I was also present when Cardinal Dom Avelar was received into the temple of the Grand Lodge of Bahia and given the title of great benefactor.”
In the article, he provided photographs of the Cardinal receiving the “title of Great Benefactor of Freemasonry at the Masonic temple of Bahia in 1976.”
In 2013, when Archbishop Pontier was elected as the new president of the Conference of Bishops of France, he was also
reported to be a Freemason who is member of the Grand Orient de France. Abp. Pontier is also a participant in this month’s Synod meetings who was involved in the confidential meetings intended to sway the Synod to accept same-sex unions.
Keeping with the theme that the aim of Freemasonry is to try to destroy the Church with corruption of morals, it can’t be mere happenstance that just days before the opening of the Synod this month, a Polish priest who had worked for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith announced that he is an active homosexual, and demanded revisions in Catholic teaching regarding homosexuality. In addition to this, let’s not forget the attempted hijacking of the pope’s visit to the United States by individuals pushing the homosexual agenda.
In 2018, Bishop Gilberto Pastana, the bishop of the Diocese of Crato in Brazil, spoke at the Masonic Lodge of Juazeiro do Norte. In his 40 minute speech, Bp. Pastana claimed that “the Catholic Church and Freemasonry can have fraternal relations given that most of the Freemasons are Christians.”
The black serpent of Freemasonry has clearly found willing allies among the Curia, and has worked for over 100 years to wrap its coils through the halls of the Vatican. Cardinal Danneels and Archbishop Pontier are just two that we know of. How many other secret Masons or fellow travelers have joined their plot to ruin the Church through the corruption of morals?
Let us continue to pray to Our Lady for guidance and protection against the heresy spreading throughout the Church. So many souls, loved intensely by Our Lord, are in extreme danger of being lost in the coming storm. Hold fast to the Church’s eternal Truths, and don’t lose hope. This chaos is nothing but the shivering of a dragon who knows well that its time is short.
I would like evidence of these banners Kolbe is describing.
Also, I have always questioned the accuracy of Alte Vendita.
Furthermore, while I’m not a Freemason and understand our conflicts with them in the past, I question the legitimacy of bringing up again an age-old dispute that effectively was ended over a hundred years ago when Italy defeated the Papal States (sadly). Freemasonry is more complex than many Trad conspiracy theorists want to give it credit for. The Grand Orient in France, for example, was split down the middle over the question of the French Revolution. Catholics today condemn Freemasonry as being part-and-parcel to the French Revolution, but Robespierre closed thousands of Lodges on the pretext of being “dens of Royalism.”
It’s a complicated issue and painting everything as one shade of black and white doesn’t better help us solve the situation at hand nor does it make our cause anymore likely to succeed.
Pope Leo XIII ordered the Alta Vendita published, and even paid for it with his own expenses. The full version of this document is published in the book “Grand Orient Freemasonry unmasked, as the secret power behind Communism through discovery of lost lectures delivered” by Monsignor George F. Dillon, D.D. at Edinburgh, in October 1884. With preface to new and revised edition (1950) by Rev. Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp., B.A., D.Ph., D.D.

Thank you for putting this info in your comment.
King Washington: This quote is taken from Mystics of Our Times by Hilda Graef, published by the Paulist Press (Deus Books, now held by Doubleday, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York ) based in Glen Rock, New Jersey, 1963, p. 176 (Chapter 8, Maximilien Kolbe, pp. 173 – 194): “On several other feasts Mary is bidden to ‘Rejoice, for you alone have destroyed all the heresies in the world,’ and the pictures of the Immaculate Conception show her crushing the head of the serpent with her foot. So beside the image of the retiring Virgin of Nazareth we have that of the great conqueror of all evil. It was thus that Brother Maximilian saw her when in 1917 he first conceived the idea of founding an association which was to be called Militia Immaculatae.
That year — incidentally also the year of the apparitions at Fatima–was in many ways decisive for the young religious. the first World War had been raging for three years, during which he [Kolbe] had faithgfully followed his studies, receiving his doctorate of philosophy in 1915 and now preparing for ordination. In the spring he had begun to spit blood during a football match. The doctor ordered him to keep to his bed, and gradually the haemorrhages ceased. He made very little of his illness and hardly spoke about it; the times were too grave to be preoccupied with one’s health. For, apart from the international catastrophe, Rome had just been the scene of outrages committed by the Freemasons who had assembled there to celebrate the bicentenary of their foundation. Brother Maximilian saw them waving their banners with pictures of the devil trampling on St. Michael right under the windows of the Vatican, and this gave him the idea conceived in his hours of prayer of founding his own spiritual army, the army of the Immaculate Virgin, to counteract the evils of the time.”
I guess we have to understand that spiritual wars can last eons; in this case St. Maximilian Kolbe understood that the Blessèd Virgin is presently putting on her armour to finish off the Devil and send him and his minions to the pit that awaits them. (Sorry for the quote being so long, but I didn’t want it thought that the quote was being taken out of context).
Good rebuttal ! Thank you for inspiring is to stay strong !
Well said Caroline well done ✅
Blessed be to our most holy mother mary amen ????
Thank you Caroline!
Mr. King Washington:
You posted in part:
“I would like evidence of these banners Kolbe is describing.”
That is Saint Maximilian Kolbe to you. And you have evidence. Namely: the testimony of the aforementioned Martyr and Saint. You, who hides in the shadows without the courage to post with your real name, dares to cast doubt on the veracity of a man who witnessed for Christ with his life.
Shame.
Richard W Comerford
I hide under no cloak of secrecy. The Grand Orient does not represent all of freemasonry. I too would like to see the photographs of these banners, that St. Maximilian speaks of. Curious, because Albert Pike, a well known American Freemason in his writings also brings up the Luciferian connection, which most Masons refuse to deal with or even mention.
Another commenter talked about the Papal States sadly being taken from the control of the Vatican and unified with the rest of Garibaldi (another Freemason, most of the Garibaldini were Freemason as well). What do you mean by sadly? The Papal States had been in a state of supression by the Vatican, keeping the States away from any of the advantages of other Italian States. The Vatican refused to allow railroad lines in or through the states for fear that the inhabitants might leave. While I cannot while writing this be able to locate my re search noted on this subject. I am more then wiling to produce my sources at a later date if asked.
You are one of them,stop deceiving itself.
Sister,
pray for them and Italian British police that are raiding mason lodges and seizing lists. Italian police have linked them to organised crime political financial corruption and narco traficking human traficking.
Thumbs Up Friend!
News paper pictures were on line about five or six years ago for a short time, then they were taken down. Maximilion wrote it all down but sites showing all this have been removed
“King Washington” I think you’re a Freemason, pouding as a non Freemason. Keep your lies and propaganda to yourself, and come to Jésus Christ!
I love You Jesus in Your Catholic Church, I offer myself entirely to You, that with You through You and in You, many souls be won for salvation. I humbly pray for the sustainability of Catholicism and salvation of Humanity! Amen.
Amen!
Yes, Freemasonry is complicated. But I do see a serious moral sickness in the Masons I know from my own family and friends, including my grandfather who was a Methodist, a Mason, and a nudist who blindly exposed his teenaged daughter to rape at a nudist camp; and my father-in-law, a Methodist preacher and approver of homosexual activity. These men lived on opposite coasts, but had Masonry and immoral ideas in common. A former friend of our family divorced his wife of 20 years and “married” a man a few years after becoming a Mason.
You can pull up the archives of Kolby’s articles in his paper. Here are copies of it on Gloria T.V https://www.gloria.tv/video/xTP8MsApD32B4CpSBjF2J6Uhe
Open ur eyes, this is not the time for useless rhetorics, Read the hand writing on the wall.The above write up is nothing but the truth.
Dear brother (suppose you are catholic)
All branches of Freemasonry were condemned by many Popes (Pius IX, Leo XIII, Pius X, John Paul II) in many documents that are part of the constant ordinary magistery (that we hold infalible)
No good and well informed Catholic can join or support in any way the masonic organizations.
“Disinformation”.
King Washington
I doubt you are a Christian and a Catholic one! If you consider that “an age-old dispute effectively was ended over 100 years ago…”, it means you don’t take seriously the warning s of Our Lady of Fatima.
Amen, all Glory to God and Our Lady!!!
You should question it. You cannot even spell right. It is ‘Alta Vendita’!
Your mind needs to wrap around truth like it needs to wrap around grammatical correctness.
First of all. nothing ENDED 100 yrs ago ! That was the beginning. The “end” will be the final battle of Armegeddon. We have seen the fruition of Masonic infiltration peaking in the 80’s-90’s, once these young priests were disseminated to Dioscese around the world & the child abuse by homosexual clergy got under way. Things ARENT “grey”.. That’s Satans favorite COLOR ! Things are very clear. Either Masons are on the side of Christ, or their NOT.
Spoken like a true Freemason.
The infiltration is true & as you say complex. I do believe there are two sects within in American Freemasonry. White Hats vs. Black Hats. That’s just what it seems to me as I continually research. Perhaps it’s to muddy the waters, for they are very adroit at doing so. Regardless, the threat of FM against the Church & society as a whole is real & disconcerting. It’s a threat which must be met head-on with prayer & maybe even in the physical realm? I don’t propose violence, but the Church is its own entity (nation) in itself. Perhaps forming a “Knights of the Immaculata Bde”, well trained in military sciences, intelligence operations and most importantly our true Catholic theology, may be what’s required to remedy this diabolical. Men & women totally consecrated to Our Lady via the de Montford way, like the Jesuits of old who were once created for that exact same reason & have now become treasonous to the Church. Perhaps its time for us to be the Maccabbees!
Hi there! Please Sir, look at the big picture, it all falls into place.
What Our Lady’s warnings say
Current society, media, government
Romans 8:28
There was a picture of the parade on youtube a couple of years ago but it was taken down after a week or so, But his letter sent soon after was preserved. If you want to know what kind of man Maximilian Kolbe was find Maximilian Kolbe, the song.
I would believe a Saint before I believe you.
The photos of that were taken off youtube soon after the were put up,but his letter of it remains. Look for that
dont waste peoples time asking for further proof as you will never believe them
Who, but the Pope, is in a position to remove these Cancerous prelates??
I am only a local “Pew-dweller”, but with a substantial love of Catholicism, and I am willing to go to “WAR” with these wretched subversives! Can we dump Francis and re-instate Benedict??
I wish god would strike them all as dead as a mackerel, or better, turn them into blocks of salt!
I am so fed up with the “wishy-washy” prelates that are in charge of this “Church of Nice”!
My grandmother, a very devout Catholic stated decades ago that she had a vision when she was a child of Clergy that wrongly teach the faithful teachings that are erroneous or not Traditionally Catholic, being tortured in hell and suffering 10 times more than others who were there.
This a very informative article. Many Free Masons are not ever aware of the ultimate goal of this organization. I appreciate that you presented the facts without throwing our Holy Father under the bus. It is imperative that we prepare ourselves spiritually and with provisions that we are willing to share with those in need. I have blessed salt and holy water on hand. I use the blessed salt every day and share it with others.
It is bending the truth to say that “Cardinal Danneels actively participated in a Masonic meeting, dressed in Masonic regelia (sic)”.
The linked account says that he took part in a discussion/debate, but does not indicate that he took part in Masonic rituals. And it says he wore white robes for non-Masons attending a Masonic meeting, ie he did not wear Masonic regalia.
The truth is shocking enough. Let’s not to falsify the story for the sake of effect.
If he wasn’t participating in masonic rituals why wear the white robe? That itself is acquiescing to their ritual/beliefs and why would he even be a participant in the discussion to begin with?
Exactly. If your mixed up with the masons your a party to them and last I checked you are forbidden to partake with these vipers so why is there ANY argument about this?
Felix,
Please note that the article did not say that Cdl. Danneels participated in Masonic rituals, but that he actively participated in a Masonic meeting. This is true … Cdl. Danneels did indeed, under his own admission, participate in a Masonic meeting, which is gravely forbidden. Furthermore, you are not understanding the definition of “regalia.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “regalia” as:
*special clothes and decorations (such as a crown or scepter) for official ceremonies
*special clothing of a particular kind
Searching the meaning of “regalia” on Google yields this definition:
“the distinctive clothing worn and ornaments carried at formal occasions as an indication of status”
Calling the white clothing worn by non-Masons at official Masonic functions “regalia” is an appropriate use of the word, and is not bending the truth.
I would not say masonic meeting . That would suggest unity of spirit , which not necessarily expressed by being present in the lodge . In fact he debated with the grandmaster , which supposes opposition of ideas rather .
Now the idea that the guests in such a meeting “in the lodge” would wear white robes is really very funny . Tenue blanche is just the name for such a meeting . Quite common in french masonic (and antimasonic) literature. Only literaly it means “white dress”. And f.i. on a fashion-show .
Read the quote please. “In 2008, Daniels admitted to dressing in the ritualistic white garb of Freemasonry in order to deliver a lecture at the Masonic Temple in Belgium”.
What do you make of a priest who is advocating the giving of communion, The very body of Christ to same sex couple and shaking the hand of Freemason grand master
Well said.
Caroline.
I just wanted to say excellent job in defining the story of St. Kolbe while he was in Rome.
As a devotee of our Lady through the Militia Immaculata you did a service to our founder.
Proof of the banners?
St. Maximilian Kolbe’s story is good enough for proof. At least for this Catholic.
Proof of satanic influence within the Vatican…. just open your eyes.
Excellent post. Just one correction. Cardinal Bazil Hume has been dead for some time. It is Cardinal Vincent Nichols who is currently archbishop of Westminster, and seemingly the name you meant as one of the co-conspirators.
Paul Dale says: “Just one correction. Cardinal Bazil Hume has been dead for some time. It is Cardinal Vincent Nichols who is currently archbishop of Westminster, and seemingly the name you meant as one of the co-conspirators.”
No, it was Hume. The group was active in the 1990s when Cardinal Hume was alive. He was a known radical during his tenure.
Taken from Lifesite News:
“Cardinal Danneels speaks for the first time of the secret group of Church leaders to which he belonged. The group met every year since 1996, and together they organized the secret ‘resistance’ against Cardinal Ratzinger, who at that time was the right-hand man of John Paul II.”
Cardinal Hume died in June 1999; thus, he was an active member of the group for several years.
I cannot believe Cardinal Hume was a member. Yes, it may be Cardinal Nichols that is being mentioned but it is now accepted that Nichols’ predecessor, Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor, was touting for Bergoglio and I suspect that is who is meant.
My comment is that Our Lady will win. I can’t tell you how many hundreds of times I have wondered why and under what circumstances Pope Benedict XVI stepped down, but lately I have been thinking that Our Lady will win. She is in a decisive battle with satan against the family and She will win. These two synods the last two years have really stressed me out (even though I am just a wife and mother) but from all that I have read, Our Lady will win. No one can speculate when or how…that will be the beauty of Her victory…She will win. Pray and watch, you will appreciate Her victory as none other.
Mary, you are right on point , Our Blessed Mother will surely win, how many times has she said in some of her apparitions, It seems as if the devil has an upper hand in this world but soon Our Lady will send him back to the pit and he will be chained forever. Sometimes you wonder what in the world will make a priest of God obey satan. It baffles me, I know people sin, so do we all but to join a satanic order or a cult, especially a priest is still strange to me.
no its not strange at all.. it is exactly how the evil one works to destroy the Church of Jesus, the One, true Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church..
the plan, ‘act as one of them, get in the door (become a seminarian and then a priest), once inside the gate… ‘
Read the Story of Bella Dodds, the German nazi youth worker … who converted through her contact with Ven. Archbishop Fulton Sheen of the USA, to Catholicism and then revealed the truth of how she helped ‘train nazis to become priests’.. and how they hundreds of them entered the Catholic Church, and from within put the seeds of evil everywhere..!!
Today we see prelates who are not Cardinals Bishops or priests of Christ ..
and protectors of His Bride – The Church. What do we see are men who are betraying Christ and His commandments, Sacraments, Doctrine and the Deposit of the Faith every day and at Synods as we have just witnessed.
It is clear who these men are …………….. More than ever the faithful Religious and we the Catholic Laity must form the MIlitias started by the great Saint, Maximilian Kolbe…who ‘saw’ what was happening and warned the world.
Never like today is their a need of the Militias of the Immaculate Conception and this year ..the 100th anniv. of Fatima…will see the final and second squashing of the head of the devil by Our Lady…………………..this is why their is at present a war raging all over the world against Pro Life President Trump and VP Mike Pence and the first Pro Life US administration in many years…..
“In the 1930s we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within.”
I found a wiki-article on Bella Dodds. Very interesting , communist infiltration in Church USA and also in unions etc. But nothing about nazi-Germany. It reminded me on a french book with a similar story . Names were fiticious as it was published before ‘die Wende’. The title of the book was something like “Agent 2025” and the name of the author like “Marie Carré”. But the story was allegedly based upon real facts .
Here some interesting – most literal – Wiki-quotes (this is allowed) about Bella Dodd. As she gave a lecture at Fordham’s I guess she rejoined Church, but Wiki is silent about that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_Dodd
“Bella Dodd was born and baptized in 1901. In 1921 after winning a state scholarship, she attended Hunter College, where she received an A.B. and developed an interest in social issues and drifted into agnosticism.[4] She did her master’s studies at Columbia University working toward a doctorate in philosophy then switched to the legal division.
Dodd testified before the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). She said: “In the 1930s we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within. The idea was for these men to be ordained, and then climb the ladder of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops”
Dodd told Alice von Hildebrand (pse lift up your heart and visit about her husband Hildebrandproject.org a.b.) Dodd told Alice H. that:
“When she was an active party member, she had dealt with no fewer than four cardinals within the Vatican who were working for us, [i.e. the Communist Party]”
Dodd made a public affidavit which was witnessed by a number of people, including Paul and Johnine Leininger.
In her public affidavit, among other things, Dodd stated:
“In the late 1920’s and 1930’s, directives were sent from Moscow to all Communist Party organizations. In order to destroy the [Roman] Catholic Church from within, party members were to be planted in seminaries and within diocesan organizations… I, myself, put some 1,200 men in [Roman] Catholic seminaries”.
An 1953 NYT article states Dodd: “swore before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee today that Communists had got into many legislative offices of Congress and into a number of groups advising the President of the United States.”[8] in 1954 that Bella Dodd “…warned yesterday that the ‘materialistic philosophy,’ [i.e., dialectical materialism ]-now guiding public education – would eventually demoralize the nation.
In 1968, Dodd made an unsuccessful attempt to become a member of the US Congress .
She died at age 64 in New York .”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_Dodd
Voice of Bella Dodd; audio . Correction .

Correction . I made it seem like Bella in 1968 did attempt to become a member of the US Congress from the grave , but:
she was born in 1 9 0 4 and died ’69 64 years old .
Bella Dodd was a communist party USA officer.
They ,communists,planned to destroy Catholic Church by placing some 1500 homosexual seminarians into Holy Mother Church
Florence , I think you believe to easily and to much , especially what is written on the net . It is a very serious matter to impute to somebody satanic cults . If you do that lightly you will be called to account for that some day . “No intent” will not be sufficient to plea you free .
Sermon 26: ‘The Parting of Friends’ (sermon preached on Monday, 25 September, 1843.).
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
The quote is from J.H.Newman
God bless you for your true post. If you google Madeline Porsat prophecy you will know Our dear Blessed will win in the very near future.
I am with you in your belief that Mary, our Mother will win this war.
Perhaps you meant “Jesus will win”?
No- the “Immaculate Heart of MARY will Triumph” – these were Marys words at Fatima, 1917.. “In the end, my…will Triumph”. God has made Mary FULL of Grace, & it is HER HEEL that will crush the servants head. The weapon we will use ? Her ROSARY ! Just as she requested. Pray the Rosary!
Look up the Pope’s speech to the UN in New York. He refers to the “Universal brotherhood” and the “Great Architect”. These are both masonic buzzwords. Creepy.
“Look up” . I did so in the Guardian of sept. 25th 2015 . I can find the first two words “Universal brotherhood”. I will mention the whole sentence :
“The work of the United Nations, according to the principles set forth in the Preamble and the first Articles of its founding Charter, can be seen as the development and promotion of the rule of law, based on the realization that justice is an essential condition for achieving the ideal of u n i v e r s a l fraternity.

(Aristotle)These thoughts are not exclusively masonic , and a certain paralel might be found in the social doctrine of the Church as well. More important : the Pope gives here a d e s c r i p t i o n o f t h e P r e a m b l e o f t h e UN . He has to do that according to the text of that Preamble itself . Your criticism reminds me on the criticism by some of Pope JohnPaul II as supposed former co-author of certain passages in Gaudium et Spes .
‘Great Architect’
I cannot find in the speech at all though the second 2 words : “Great Architect”
It does not help at all a good cause – the combat of bad masonic influence – to bring forth things that are not true . Referring to a source is of no use if you do not check this source on its reliability . No excuse if you don’t.
Please correct me if I’m wrong in this.
There is no reason whatsoever to disbelieve what this author has written.
Thank you for the enlightenment.
In Pope Francis, it is almost impossible to argue that at last – they (the Masons) now have their man

PRAYING FOR THOSE,THEY DANCE WITH THE EVIL ONE+++
I am afraid Archbishops of Westminster have had a track record of leaning towards radical German positions. Cardinal Heenan was influenced by such according to Professor Roberto Mattei when he made his disastrous remark about Humanae Vitae being a matter of conscience. Cardinal Hume may well have followed in joining Cardinal Danieel’s ‘mafia’ but that was in its early days. However I can testify that I had direct dealings with Cardinal Hume over unethical goings-on at the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth and he was very supportive. Unfortunately he died, mis-diagnosed, at that Hospital. His successor Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor was totally unsupportive blessing a shredded Code of Ethics which had cut out any condemnation of abortion, FGMs etc.
Does anyone have a photograph of the freemasons in St Peters Square in 1917? I believe St Maximillan Kolbe completely but am putting together a presentation on Fatima and the third secret and would like a photo to put in my presentation. I don’t need proof but other people may. Any help would be much appreciated
2 stupid faults, 1 of which grave . I did not read the whole article and I have to conclude that you are naive and negligent , and by that not serving truth and the good cause . Although for the rest probably goodwilling .
1. Crétineau-Joly was by no means a cardinal , but a lay, journalist and writer . If I do remember well he was a renegate high grade freemason who quitted freemasonry .
2. The grave fault . You incriminate Card. Danneels wearing masonic dress , which would imply silly conduct and a certain identification with masonry from his side . This he did not do at all . He gave a conference “à tenue blanche” . This is a masonic expression which means a certain openness of a meeting in a lodge , or the meeting itself , and not i this case “a white dress” which it means literaly . So either the conferencier was non-mason (t.b. fermée), or the meeting was open to non-masons (t.b. ouverte) . In this case both will have been the case . After the conference there was a discussion lead by a journalist .
So pse correct this , as it is injust , and then delete this reaction

Crétineau-Joly seems not to have been a freemason . Both the french and the english – which is longer – wiki mentions anything of that . I think I was confused with another quote out of one of his books .
Maria 2015-10-14 wrote here as a reaction:
“Look up the Pope’s speech to the UN in New York. He refers to the “Universal brotherhood” and the “Great Architect”. These are both masonic buzzwords. ”

About the funny idea that Card. Danneels would have worn something:
have a look at the four pictures in the source

This source is also given in the link of the text, thus by the writer.
There you find four pictures of the event .
You must have a strange fantasy to imagine it like presented above .
Sowing intrigue and passing judgement on people and their motives is celarly Satanic. This article seems to border on this. Discern.
I have spent some time witnessing to Freemasons I knew within several churches. One Freemason told me there is virtually no one in any major position of power who is not a Freemason or influenced by them. He said this includes all the institutions of society. This certainty includes not only the Roman Catholic Church, but other churches especially the higher the person is in the church hierarchy.
POPE FRANCIS IS AN ILLUMINIST and AN APOSTATE BISHOP – http://wp.me/p2Na5H-ZM
Read “STORIES FROM HEAVEN”. The Miracle of SAINT JOSEPH has been sent by GOD
to give us HOPE in these extremely terrible times.
Hello! Can you PLEASE republished this VERY important article in light of the Vignano testimony? This explains it all. Also I’ve been researching on the the ties between Bergolgio and Freemasonry, but wary of publicly publishing.
I don’t think people get who the Freemasons really are. Let me 1st say I am NOT a Freemason or a Catholic. Now with that said, “Freemasonry” indirectly comes from Catholasim to begin with, through the expulsion of the Knights Templar from the church. The infiltration of the Catholic Church by the Masons is simply things coming full circle as was always planned. This is why the Church has always been against Masonry while Masonry has hated the Church. Masonry was started by Templar in Scotland after their expulsion from the Church. The Templars leaders were persecuted and their main leader exacuted at the stake. At this point they went from being ” Devout Catholics” to hating the church and vowing vengence. Not only did Masons begin pretending to be Catholics so they could infultrate the church and move up the rank and file, but freemasons in Spain started the Knights of Malta and through the Knights of malta started the Jesuit order and its through help from the Jesuit Order and the Black Pope that Masonry has gotten ahold of the Church. But masonry is the comon thread, it in itself is not responsable for the world problems, its the world leaders and freemasonry is simply the Grout that binds them and the cornerstone they stand upon.
Why are you so afraid to state that bergoglio is an ecclesiastical freemason (the second beast of the apocalypse, according to Our Lady to Fr Gobbi)? It should be obvious by now, to everyone, that this man is a heretic..He constantly states shocking heresies and most catholics think nothing of it? This fulfill the words of Our Lady in La Salette in later days, people will not follow the true faith” !!! I have been keeping a file with bergoglio’s heresies, and to be honest with you, I lost count of them. Can you imagine John Paul II or benedict XVI sharing in an audience that he stole a crucifix from a dead priest, ending his speech saying “it was the thief we all have inside”…shocking all those sound catholics who never stole a single ting in their entire lives. A man who says that the gods of other religions is the same as ours? That everyone is saved, even unbaptized atheists? That we are all God’s children, again, never mind baptism? That we are all brothers and sisters? Do I need to say more? A man who is gradually destroying everything holy and sacred and dragging into apostasy many souls!! The one who is then paving the way for the anti-christ…don’t catholics know these are the end times? No, not because I say so, but because Our Lady said it many times before.
What bergoglio has been promoting is yes, masonic ideologies, liberty, fraternity, equality !! His real faith is the jewish cabala, which is luciferic…cabalists who fool people by using christian terms while promoting paganism! I haven’t seen a single people writing this facet of gnostics: that they promote paganism inside the church using christian terms to fool people…I’ve read many books written by apostate clergy, in order to learn their code words, the way they think and fool people.
