A new masonic Pope imbued with Italian and humanitarian principles to corrupt the Church from within?
Michael Brown over at Spirit Daily is carrying a link to a National Catholic Reporter article suggesting that a revolution has quietly begun at the Vatican. See here. For centuries the Freemasons have been working to infiltrate the Vatican and to install their own Pope while emphasizing a "social gospel."
What is the "Social Gospel"? Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich was shown this secular humanism which would disguise itself as Christianity:
"...this church was born without a Saviour, good works without faith, the communion of the unbelieving with the appearance but not the reality of virtue; in a word, the anti-Church whose centre is malice, error, falsehood, hypocrisy, tepidity, and the cunning of all the demons of the period... Its mysteries are to have no mysteries and, consequently, its action is temporal, finite, full of pride and presumption, a teacher of evil clothed in specious raiment."
An authentic charity always places God first. We read in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that, "Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God" (1822).
Proponents of the Social Gospel attempt to reverse this order....

I believe Dante described a special circle just for this kind of B.S.
Indeed.
Given that the Reporter's primary audience are cafeteria/liberal/dissident Catholics, I can only imagine what their version of a "revolution" inside of the Vatican must look like.
National Catholic Reporter. It is as not quite so reliable as the Washington Post re reporting any sort of truth. It is an ideological leftist rag. It is operating in the hubris that it can affect the Church and the Pope. It can affect the hopes and dreams of its faux Catholic and politically Left readership. It is not even quoted often and breathlessly by MSM as twenty years ago.
They thought they would get one because of Vatican II, however, God threw them a huge curveball in the form of Blessed John Paul the Great.
They partied when he was shot and fumed when he lived after it.
And, they kept hoping that the next pope would be "their" pope.
But, in order to realize a "new masonic pope" it would require that Jesus is a liar, which can not happen. He said that He would be with His Church and not leave it orphaned.
They were successful at minimizing the true Spirit and even got their butt-boys in charge of some seminaries, all to make the Church look bad and as if it had lost it's mission.
Anne Catherine Emmerich said that this "church" would be one where no angel or saint would help to build, and even the water in its water fonts would not be holy.
It is all part of the Mystery of Iniquity.
This post is going to go down as the dumbest one all week.
You cannot openly be a Catholic and a Mason. Church prohibition.
You can be a Mason and a Catholic and a member of any other religion, so long as you believe in a supreme being. Masonic Code.
If you are an atheist there is nothing for you in Masonry.
Given the current stance of the church it would be impossible to believe that Masonry seeks to install some usurper of the Church.
“National Catholic Reporter”
One of the cool things about FR is that I can always come here and find someone fawning over the Fishwrap.
You missed one. You’re slow today. One got through.
You might consider changing tinfoil brands.
Hurray! We got in, boys!
I’m told the “Whore of Babylon” brand is quite solid..
I guess I'll have to accept your word on that one.
ecclesiastical masonry
even the freepers chuckle that it cannot exist ... yet some of us smell it every day.
The first Peter came from the frontiers of the Roman Empire to end his priestly ministry in Rome. This pontiff comes from the Ends of the Earth to finish his vocation in Rome, and he happens to be Italian. The First Peter was not Roman, the last Peter is Roman.
I know, it’s a stretch.
This assumes there is no gap between St. Malachy’s penultimate pope of the Olive Branch(Benedict) and Peter II.
There seems to be a bit of discussion about the validity of Benedict’s resignation. The circumstances.
Perhaps, soon, many Catholics will hear the word “sedevacantist” for the first time. And we’ll have to listen to some say, “I told ya so.”
We’re all sedevacantists now. Or something like that.
I'm a sedevacantist. (By the way, what does it mean?)
