I'm currently delving into the Jewish connection to Freemasonry and its organized attack on Christianity.
Lots to be disturbed about.
Here are some quotes...
"Piccolo Tigre," a prominent 19th-century Jewish Freemason, wrote the following in The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita (a document produced by the highest lodge of the Italian Carbonari):
"Now the Papacy has been for seventeen centuries inherent to the history of Italy. Italy cannot breathe or move without the permission of the Supreme Pastor…It is necessary, then, to seek a remedy for that situation…The Pope, whoever he may be, will never come to the secret societies. It is for the secret societies to come first to the Church, in the resolve to conquer the two…[This] is not the work of a day, nor of a month, nor of a year. It may last many years, a century perhaps, but in our ranks the soldier dies and the fight continues...You wish to revolutionize Italy? Seek out the Pope of whom we give the portrait. You wish to establish the reign of the elect upon the throne of the prostitute of Babylon? Let the clergy march under your banner in the belief always that they march under the banner of the Apostolic Keys…Lay your nets like Simon Barjona. Lay them in the depths of sacristies, seminaries, and convents, rather than in the depths of the sea…"
In Monsignor George Dillon's “Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked” which was personally approved by Pope Leo XIII (who ordered that it be printed and published at his own expense), Dillon writes that "The Jewish connection with modern Freemasonry is an established fact everywhere manifested in its history. The Jewish formulas employed by Freemasonry, the Jewish traditions which run through its ceremonial, point to a Jewish origin, or to the work of Jewish contrivers…Who knows but behind the Atheism and desire of gain which impels them to urge on Christians to persecute the Church and destroy it, there lies a hidden hope to reconstruct their Temple, and in the darkest depths of secret society plotting there lurks a deeper society still which looks to a return to the land of Judah and to the rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem?"
Jewish writer, Bernard Lazare, agreed with this, writing "It is certain that there were Jews at the cradle of Freemasonry—Kabbalistic Jews, as is proved by some of the rites that have been preserved. During the years that preceded the French Revolution, they very probably entered in greater numbers still into the councils of the society and founded secret societies themselves. There were Jews around Weishaupt, and Martinez de Pasqualis, a Jew of Portuguese origin, organised numerous groups of Illuminati in France, recruiting many adepts to whom he taught the doctrine of reintegration. The lodges founded by Martinez were mystical, whilst the other orders of Freemasonry were rather rationalist. This permits one to say that the secret societies represented the two sides of the Jewish mind: practical rationalisation and pantheism."
- L'Antisemitisme, p. 339
In Chapter XVI of William Thomas Walsh’s work, “Philip II,” entitled "Freemasonry in the 16th Century," he writes that "it is no longer debatable that, if the false leaders of the Jews did not originate the secret societies to cover their own anti-Christian activities and to influence credulous members of the Christian communities, they had a great deal to do with the business. The degrees and ritual of Freemasonry are shot through with Jewish symbolism: the candidate is going to the East, towards Jerusalem, he is going to rebuild the Temple (destroyed in fulfilment of the prophecy of Christ)..."
Monsignor Dillon also writes: "I believe this secret Atheistic organisation [Freemasonry] to be nothing less than the evil which we have been long warned against by Our Blessed Lord Himself, as the supreme conflict between the Church and Satan's followers. It is the commencement of the contest which must take place between Christ and Antichrist; and nothing therefore can be more necessary than that the elect of God should be warned of its nature and its aims."
Pope Leo XIII, in his 1884 encyclical, Humanum Genus, explicitly called "to tear away the mask from Freemasonry, and to let it be seen as it really is; and by sermons and pastoral letters to instruct the people as to the artifices used by societies of this kind in seducing men and enticing them into their ranks, and as to the depravity of their opinions and the wickedness of their acts."
It is alarming that many of Freemasonry's most foundational principles are now being espoused by modernist churchmen; the danger seems to be much more explicit and imminent now even than it was when Leo XIII was calling for it to be shouted from the rooftops. Why is this no longer discussed? Why is this not a primary issue for the Church?
Stay tuned for an upcoming video on this.
