A spiritual battle in Massachusetts since 1916

According to the Associated Press, the Fitchburg City Council has abandoned its formal attempt to keep a Planned Parenthood office out of the city. This is merely the latest development in a spiritual battle taking place in Massachusetts which began in 1916. That was the year that a Fabian Socialist named Van Kleek Allison was arrested and convicted for distributing Emma Goldman's birth control pamphlet. Allison was prosecuted by an officer of the Knights of Columbus, Mr. Joseph G. Pelletier, who cited a papal encyclical which condemned birth control during the trial. Van Kleek Allison was found guilty of violating both divine law and state law and given a three-year sentence by Judge Michael J. Murray.

The Fabian Society was founded by Socialist Sidney Webb, his wife Beatrice and the playwright George Bernard Shaw to promote a scientifically planned society and eugenics by way of sterilization. As noted here, "The great American Patriot John T. Flynn stated in his book entitled The Road Ahead that there was a “creeping revolution” taking place in the United States and made a clear connection between Fascism and Fabian Socialism when he said: “. . . the line between Fascism and Fabian Socialism is very thin. Fabian Socialism is the dream. Fascism is Fabian Socialism plus the inevitable dictator.”

The Fabian Socialist have intentionally presented their ideology within a very socially acceptable package; humanitarian in appearance and approach, its actual purpose is complete, absolute power over society as administered through an iron fist covered in a kid-skin glove."

What does all of this have to do with recent events in Fitchburg, Massachusetts? Much. After Van Kleek Allison was found guilty in a court of law, his supporters founded the Allison Defense League which later became the Massachusetts Mothers Health Council, then the Birth Control League of Massachusetts and eventually Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.

It was professor Stanley Monteith who noted that, '..if you go to Holmbury St. Mary, which is the Beatrice Webb house, it's about 30 miles south of London...where the socialists meet on a regular basis to plan the 'New World'...they had there..a stained glass window where you can see their coat of arms...between the two men on the right is a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing, because everything is deception you see. FS for Fabian Socialism, the use of deception to fool the world! On the right you see George Bernard Shaw ..a little to the left you see Sidney Webb. Each of them holding a hammer. Shaw is holding the world on an anvil. The caption above reads, 'Remould it nearer the heart's desire.' They are remaking the world...Below you see, 'Pray Devoutly, Hammer Stoutly!'...you see all these men kneeling before a list of books, among of which are Plato's writings and the Greek philosophers, because these men worship reason rather than God."

The battle will continue. For this is a spiritual battle. A battle between those who worship the Living God and who respect His Commandments and those who seek to "remould" the world into their own image and likeness. This battle will only be won if it is treated as a spiritual battle. This means Churches gathering together to pray for the spiritual deliverance of Fitchburg, hours of Eucharistic Adoration and reparation, fasting, and the use of powerful sacramentals such as Holy Water and Blessed Salt.

This battle will not be won by mere action alone. Some demons are driven out only through prayer and fasting. See my previous post here.
