Ecclesiastical Freemasonry and the Religion of Humanitarianism


In an interview with the The Latin Mass magazine, "Present at the Demolition," Dr. Alice von Hildebrand alluded to communist and masonic infiltration into the Church:

TLM: You realize, of course, Doctor, that as soon as you mention this idea of infiltration, there will be those who roll their eyes in exasperation and remark, “Not another conspiracy theory!”

AVH:: I can only tell you what I know. It is a matter of public record, for instance, that Bella Dodd, the ex-Communist who reconverted to the Church, openly spoke of the Communist Party’s deliberate infiltration of agents into the seminaries. She told my husband and me 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.”
Many a time I have heard Americans say that Europeans “smell conspiracy wherever they go.” But from the beginning, the Evil One has “conspired” against the Church – and has always aimed in particular at destroying the Mass and sapping belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. That some people are tempted to blow this undeniable fact out of proportion is no reason for denying its reality. On the other hand, I, European born, am tempted to say that many Americans are naïve; living in a country that has been blessed by peace, and knowing little about history, they are more likely than Europeans (whose history is a tumultuous one) to fall prey to illusions. Rousseau has had an enormous influence in the United States. When Christ said to His apostles at the Last Supper that “one of you will betray Me,” the apostles were stunned. Judas had played his hand so artfully that no one suspected him, for a cunning conspirator knows how to cover his tracks with a show of orthodoxy.

TLM: Do the two books by the Italian priest you mentioned before the interview contain documentation that would provide evidence of this infiltration?

AVH:: The two books I mentioned were published in 1998 and 2000 by an Italian priest, Don Luigi Villa of the diocese of Brescia, who at the request of Padre Pio has devoted many years of his life to the investigation of the possible infiltration of both Freemasons and Communists into the Church. My husband and I met Don Villa in the sixties. He claims that he does not make any statement that he cannot substantiate. When Paulo Sesto Beato? (1998) was published the book was sent to every single Italian bishop. None of them acknowledged receipt; none challenged any of Don Villa’s claims.
In this book, he relates something that no ecclesiastical authority has refuted or asked to be retracted – even though he names particular personalities in regard to the incident. It pertains to the rift between Pope Pius XII and the then Bishop Montini (the future Paul VI) who was his Undersecretary of State. Pius XII, conscious of the threat of Communism, which in the aftermath of World War II was dominating nearly half of Europe, had prohibited the Vatican staff from dealing with Moscow. To his dismay, he was informed one day through the Bishop of Upsala (Sweden) that his strict order had been contravened. The Pope resisted giving credence to this rumor until he was given incontrovertible evidence that Montini had been corresponding with various Soviet agencies. Meanwhile, Pope Pius XII (as had Pius XI) had been sending priests clandestinely into Russia to give comfort to Catholics behind the Iron Curtain. Every one of them had been systematically arrested, tortured, and either executed or sent to the gulag. Eventually a Vatican mole was discovered: Alighiero Tondi, S.J., who was a close advisor to Montini. Tondi was an agent working for Stalin whose mission was to keep Moscow informed about initiatives such as the sending of priests into the Soviet Union.

Our Lady told Fr. Stefano Gobbi of the Marian Movement of Priests:

"I am weeping because the Church is continuing along the road of division, of loss of the true faith, of apostasy and of errors which are being spread more and more without anyone offering opposition to them. Even now, that which I predicted at Fatima and that which I have revealed here in the third message confided to a little daughter of mine (i.e. Sister Lucia) is in the process of being accomplished. And so, even for the Church the moment of its great trial has come, because the man of iniquity will establish himself within it and the abomination of desolation will enter into the holy temple of God." (To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons, No. 362, September 15, 1987, p. 572.)

And again:

"The black beast like a leopard indicates Freemasonry; the beast with the two horns like a lamb indicates Freemasonry infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is to say, ecclesiastical Masonry, which has spread especially among the members of the hierarchy. This Masonic infiltration, in the interior of the Church, was already foretold to you by me at Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would enter in even to the summit of the Church. If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to the worship of false divinities, the task of ecclesiastical Masonry on the other hand is that of destroying Christ and his Church, building a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church." (To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons, No. 406, June 13, 1989, p. 649)

The false church Our Lady refers to was also foretold by Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824), a German Augustinian nun, stigmatist, and miracle-worker, who subsisted entirely on water and Holy Communion for many years. Venerable Emmerich received numerous visions of the future crisis in the Church and the infiltration of the Masons. In her visions, she describes men in aprons destroying the Church with a trowel, The Masons wear aprons and their symbol is the Mason's trowel. The following excerpts are from page 565 of the Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich, Vol. 1, by Rev. K.E. Schmöger, Tan Books, 1976:


"I saw St. Peter's. A great crowd of men was trying to pull it down whilst others constantly built it up again. Lines connected these men one with another and with others throughout the whole world. I was amazed at their perfect understanding.

"The demolishers, mostly apostates and members of different sects, broke off whole pieces and worked according to rules and instructions. They wore WHITE APRONS bound with blue riband. In them were pockets and they had TROWELS stuck in their belts. The costumes of the others were various.

"There were among the demolishers distinguished men wearing uniforms and crosses. They did not work themselves but they marked out on the wall with a TROWEL where and how it should be torn down. To my horror, I saw among them Catholic Priests. Whenever the workmen did not know how to go on, they went to a certain one in their party. He had a large book which seemed to contain the whole plan of the building and the way to destroy it. They marked out exactly with a TROWEL the parts to be attacked, and they soon came down. They worked quietly and confidently, but slyly, furtively and warily. I saw the Pope praying, surrounded by false friends who often did the very opposite to what he had ordered..."

Back in October of 2005, I exposed one of these Catholic priests, a priest of the Diocese of Manchester, New Hampshire, who is working under the banner of the New Ecclesiology while loudly proclaiming that man has come of age: http://lasalettejourney.blogspot.com/2005/10/reading-from-prophecy-of-malachi.html

This is the religious deception of the Antichrist: "The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh." (CCC, 675).

We have witnessed the gradual emergence of this false church within Christ's Church. And that which this false church proposes is a new religion in which man, and not God, is the object of worship. And all will be accomplished in the name of humanitarianism. Through one of his characters in his prophetic book The Lord of the World, Fr. Robert Hugh Benson describes this humanitarian religion:

"Humanitarianism...is becoming an actual religion itself, though anti-supernatural. It is a pantheism. Pantheism deifies all nature, God is the world, but naturally, man above all is God since he is the highest expression of nature. It is a religion devoid of the 'super' natural, because since God is nature itself, there is no longer a distinction between Creator and creature. The creature is God* and hence arbitrator of his own destiny and establishes the moral law for himself. Nature, and man is its highest expression, has all the divine attributes. Humanitarianism is a religion devoid of the supernatural. It is developing a ritual under Freemasonry; it has a creed, 'God is man'; and the rest. It has, therefore, a real food of a sort to offer religious cravings: it idealizes, and yet makes no demands upon the spiritual faculties. Then, they have the use of all the churches except ours, and of all the Cathedrals; and they are beginning at last to encourage sentiment. Then they may display their symbols and we may not: I think they will be establishedlegally in another ten years" (Introduction, p. xvii).

*Genesis 3:5.

    I love the writings of Venerable Ann Catherine Emmerich. I'm sure there are Catholics who scoff at her visions. But then, the Church hasn't called them venerable either.

    Jesus is a True Man and a True God. And Jesus is both divine and human....and the mystery of the double nature of Jesus is a marvelous mystery ...the Man-God.
    Though it is difficult to understand ...this is a test of faith...not to understand but to believe!!...to firmly believe what we did not understand...And this is the faith of the simple and pure at heart.....
    Therefore...ecclesiastical freemasonry and their ideologies...are just confusing the minds of the people of God..attempting to destroy the true faith...in them pride is stronger than faith..

      If you follow the Master
      the world will reject you
      as it rejects the Pastor
      with a lot of ballyhoo

      The disciple is NOT above the Master
      nor the servant above his Lord
      the world is heading for a disaster
      the Creator is ready to have it restored

      The Queen of Heaven comes to warn
      us poor children of naughty Eve
      if we don’t listen, we’ll surely mourn
      in an “eternity” full of grief

      Each one of us is free to decide
      whether to follow God or a worldly path
      whether to be humble or full of pride
      whether to be full of Love or full of wrath

      The Righteous Judge keeps patiently
      inviting His children to choose wisely
      but most of us refuse blatantly
      to follow His Commandments very precisely


      He who will not hear, will feel .

    The auto-demolition of the Church is quickening now. Although the gates of Hell will never prevail against her, there are those intent on destroying her from within.

      "COEXIST" the latest command
      of the "New World Order" band
      live and let live
      no need to forgive
      for there ain't no sin
      each living their own spin

      Coexistence a cold and loveless word
      in a cold and loveless earth
      for they have declared God dead
      and worship themselves instead
      mankind in his selfish pride
      orchestrates the worldwide divide

      but LOVE will return as LOVE
      He begs us to throw in the glove
      to run away from the dragon
      to escape the devil's paddy wagon
      to turn to the Eternal Light
      be our heart broken but contrite

      He will cleanse us thoroughly
      from all sin and iniquity
      we will live as brothers and sisters
      no need to send us any twisters
      no more armies, no more wars
      no more enemies at our doors.

      be watchful, children, be on guard
      keep Me constant in your heart
      My return date you don't know
      but Myself suddenly I will show
      in a new and peaceful Jerusalem
      a new birth in a new Bethlehem

    The response of the laity can be strong only if we rely on our power of prayer, the humble prayer of His believing child. This is the gift Our Lady wishes to present, our rosaries and our prayers. We must keep our hearts in humility and charity, in order that she may maintain her vast number of true children of God. In every instance she pleads with us, "Pray!"

    1. MARY, THE MYSTICAL CITY

      Mary, Mystical City
      where Jesus, our Savior, resides
      look down on us with pity
      who are carried with the tides

      Will we ever fathom
      the greatness of Your being
      satan spitting his venom
      to prevent our souls from healing

      But You, God’s living Tabernacle
      are constantly pointing to Your Son
      to prevent us from sudden debacle
      to bring us the Victory already won

      We cry out to You, Oh Mystical City
      to pull us out of the dangerous sinkholes
      we are willing to be gritty
      to save our eternal souls

      Mary, our Mother spread Your Mantle over us to keep us safe in Your City.

    Father, we’re begging You for help
    watch us, like a lion’s whelp
    trying hard to persevere
    thru the cracks in our veneer

    Is there anything to fear
    with a Father ever so near
    a Father Who is Almighty
    sounds good ! Alrighty !

    All is safe in Your hands
    You have no contrabands
    Your gifts are so precious
    receiving them, our soul refreshes

    You are our Fortress, our Stronghold
    King, Commander of our household
    our Defender in the spiritual battle
    to escape satan’s poisonous rattle

    With You we will be victorious
    though the battle be very laborious
    triumphant banners we already wave
    with You on our side, we are ever so brave

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done !!!
