NEW ITALIAN CATHEDRAL TO PADRE PIO DESIGNED AS FREEMASONIC TEMPLE
Chiesa Viva authored by Dr. Engineer Franco Addessa ^ | March 2006 | D. M. S.

Posted on 07/19/2006 10:40:38 AM PDT by Youngstown

IS THE NEW CATHEDRAL TO PADRE PIO IN SAN GIOVANNI ROTONDO ACTUALLY A "MASONIC TEMPLE"?

I have just received and am in the process of studying a special issue, #381 (March 2006), of the Italian religious magazine “CHIESA VIVA”. It is my understanding that in March 2006 this special issue was sent by the publisher/editor of “Chiesa Viva”, Dr. Monsignor Luigi Villa, to Catholic & 'catholic' priests, Bishops, Cardinals, as well as a selected group of Italian lay persons including members of the judiciary. This entire special issue deals with only one subject, that being the inauguration in July 2004 (construction began in 1996) of the new Cathedral dedicated to Padre Pio of San Giovanni Rotondo. The authors allege that after years of study they are now able to prove that this new church is in fact, NOT a Catholic Church, but rather a “Masonic temple”!

The authors (the engineer Franco Adessa) further allege that they have analyzed the complete church structure including the entry doors to the church, the altar plus the cross that hovers over it, the chapel of Adoration with the Tabernacle made out of jet black stone with the 13 plaques of silver as well as the immense stone cross that towers 40 meters over the piazza.

The authors allege that Masonic symbols are apparent everywhere. The authors allege that their special issue of Chiesa Viva has put into focus an alleged Masonic plan to DO battle with God by attempting to destroy the Catholic Church with Masonic Ecumenism. According to the authors the most devastating aspect of this blasphemy is the direct insult to the Holy Trinity and Our Lord Jesus Christ that have been symbolically displaced from the Cross and the Tabernacle and replaced by the blasphemous “Masonic triple trinity” and of Lucifer in person.

The authors allege that this story is one of money, power and control that go to the very top. To date news services around the world seem to be totally unaware of what has allegedly transpired in San Giovanni Rotondo, not one word has been uttered by the Vatican or other officials and millions of devotees to Saint Padre Pio are unaware and would be outraged if they ever suspected that their donations (estimated to be over $250,000,000.00 US) had been used to allegedly defame their beloved Saint!

If these allegations are in fact verified the scandal could be enormous. Millions of Catholics devoted to Padre Pio would be shocked and angry. The scandal would involve huge sums of money, the defamation of a Sainted Priest loved world wide by millions, the undermining of Faith, the undermining of the Catholic Hierarchy. It seems that officially no one in the Vatican is talking about this alleged scandal, even though a special reunion took place in San Giovanni Rotondo, on May 1 through May 6, 2006 attended by 150 Vatican experts including the Secretary of State Sodano. Ostensibly these experts converged on San Giovanni Rotondo to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the hospital (Casa di Sollievo della Sofferenza) by Padre Pio. Their meetings were open to the public during the day, however, their closed door evening meetings were allegedly dedicated to high level discussions of the Chiesa Viva special issue #381.It was subsequently reported, confidentially, that the Vatican has adopted an official solution that essentially amounts to total silence on this matter! If this is true then the allegations of Chiesa Viva may be much more than allegations and silence on the part of the Vatican is tantamount to conceding victory to Chiesa Viva. How long can this story be kept under wraps before the devotees of Padre Pio find out that they and their saint have been betrayed!?

Well, I have actually been to a Catholic Mass, and I couldn't discern one shred of difference between the Scripture I heard there and the same verses read at home in my Bible that has the Rainbow insignia on it.

What does your Rainbow insigna mean?

I have educated myself about the role the Catholic Church has played in persecuting non-Catholics for years, including the hideous butchery of the Knights Templar, the various Jews and Protestants. Your church's record is impressive.

The record of one of your former altar boys, the son of Alois Scheklegruber, shows he learned his trade in church.

Your ignorance of the Craft is dwarfed only by your bigotry.

Get lost. You have freedom of religion here in this blessed nation, but fortunately, you no longer have freedom to impose your religion by the sword and firebrand.

The one world religion Freemasonry wants is secularism or Laicite to use the French word.

It's already taken hold on some parts of the world. Stop being in denial.

Well, let's see here . . .

The principles of our Fraternity are based on the same moral absolutes that form the foundation of all true faith.

But I thought it was about moral relativism.

Every Mason must believe in a Supreme Being.

Your God, my God, it's all good. Just BELIEVE in something already.

He must strive to live morally in accordance with the highest standards of individual character and social conduct.

What a reprehensible goal, and one that all good Catholics must necessarily deplore.

Unfortunately, our purpose as well as our very existence is questioned by the uninformed.

No. Do tell.

They fail to see that Masons are invariable churchgoing men who extend the precepts of their faith beyond their sabbath to every day of their lives.

So they're doing better than 90% of my acquaintance.

Freemasonry, therefore, welcomes to its ranks Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and all good men of whatever religion who truly aspire to live accordingly to the Creator's will.

If Catholicism says one is not to associate with those of different faiths for purposes of good works and fellowship, I managed to miss that diktat.

Faith and work, soul and body, heart and hand are united as Masons everywhere labor through Freemasonry in peace and harmony to honor the Creator and serve mankind.

Which is, oddly enough, exactly what my church youth group promoted.

Such are the objectives of Freemasonry. Obviously, they complement, not contradict, sound religious beliefs.

Well, obvious to some.

Which thread would that have been on? I do have to work in the morning.

I can't remember the title of the thread. Ask nopardons, she might remember. That's where I had the pleasure of originally talking with her. I'll try to look it up and see if I can find it later.

BINGO! You proved our point with those very words! Religious indifferentism. Truth is relative...

"I attended a Masonic ceremony before that was stated very explicitly."

If you "attended a Masonic Ceremony", it was not a true Masonic Ceremony. Methinks thou art less than truthful.

"How is it engaging in vile impugnations of Masons to say that some of our forefathers were Deists! "

Using your rationale, since some Catholic Priests are child-buggering homosexuals, all Catholics are child-buggering homosexuals.

Now, how does that strike you, bub?

"We don't have Masonic emblems on our Bibles."

What is on the cover doesn't change the content.

By the way, are you allowed to read the Bible yet, or must you depend on your Priest's interpretation?

The insignia includes several elements of the ritual the Rainbows perform at their meetings. It involves the Seven Lessons (love, nature, religion, immortality, fidelity, patriotism, and service) and the three cardinal virtues (faith, hope, and charity).

Am glad that we have a network of Masons to rebut, but it is terrible to witness these attacks when we are undergoing the war of wars with the Islam terrorists."

Myy friend, the bigoted Roman Catholic is the IslamoNazi's best friend.

"Watch your language young lady, you are in the Religion Forum right now and you have used language in a previous post that is prohibted here."

Actually, you are the one who should be watching his language and his bigotry.

You most assuredly DO owe all Masons, alive and dead and their families an apology.

Nope, I will not apologize. Masons incited the following rampages and thuggeries.

The French Revolution 1789
The French Revolution of 1830
The European Revolutions of 1848
The persecutions of Catholics under the Austrian Emperor Joseph II
The Mexican Revolution of 1910 in which thousands of Catholic clergy and laity were murdered.
Not to mention the Masonic influences in the massacres of Catholic clergy and laity during the 1930s before Franco took power.

No, why don't YOU stop lying about it, or rather being denial of its at least indirect negative impact on society.

The Masonic cult has only brought destruction in its wake and hatred for the Catholicism I cherish.

It strikes me as being ridiculous because you aren't looking at what I said. I never said all Masons were Deists or that any Mason was a Deist, I said that some of our forefathers were Deists! Why does that raise your hackles anyway? It would fit right into Masonic thought wouldn't it? As long as you believe in a God?

I challenge you to show me a post in this thread where I used a curse word like she did. Bigotry? Right. Just because I don't agree with Freemasonry. Whatever.

So tell me, did it have all the books from the Catholic Bible?

So the Masons decided they would try to bully the Catholic Church to buy into their indifferentistic, relativistic worldview.

Then so are you since you let them into your organization. I notice that Muslims aren't excluded from your ranks.

Gotta love your Catholic bashing. Masonry is a lie.
