PUBLISHER'S FOREWARD:  THE PAPACY AND FREEMASONRY

The  deliberately plannned fusion of CHRISTIANITY
and TALMUDIC JUDAISM (father of  Freemasonry  and
"kindred  Secret  Societies"), in its swift surge
to   completely   obliterate   Christianity,   is
becoming   so   alarming  to  informed,  Militant
Catholics, that the necessity for reprinting  the
great  speech  of  Monsiegneur  Jouin is urgently
needed, to spread among the faithful..

The scholorly late Msgr. Jouin, founder of "Revue
International  des  Societies Secretes" and world
authority on Jewish history and objectives,  knew
the necessity for exposing these facts in defense
of Christianity. Thus, in all his masterly works,
most  of  which  have  not  been  translated into
English, he  showed  the Judeo-Masonic  peril  to
Christianity and reitered the golden VOICE of the
SUPREME PONTIFFS, to awaken SLEEPING CATHOLICS.

The Vatican formally praised him for this work of
enlightenment  as  far  back  as  June, 1919 in a
letter  signed  by   Cardinal   Gasparri,   Papal
Secretary  of  State  and  he  was  accorded  the
Apostolic Blessing. (Letter reproduced in full on
page 30.)

The  reprinted speech of Msgr. Jouin takes on new
meaning in view of the current  rush  of  Priests
and   Religious   who   are   eager   to   accept
Judeo-Masonic "BROTHERHOOD"  awards,  Grants  and
Political  favors.  No  longer  can  the alterted
laity remain silent to the HERESY  of  INTERFAITH
(including   JUDEO-CHRISTIAINTY)  that  is  being
perpetrated  in  DEFIANCE  of  the  oft  repeated
infallible Encyclicals of Our Great Popes.

Pope  Clement XIII gives the Pontiff's command in
unmistakable terms, which EVEN TO THE UNINFORMED,
cannot be misinterpreted:

"We  have  resolved  and  decreed  to condemn and
forbid  such  Societies,  assemblies,   reunions,
conventions,   aggregations  or  meetings  called
either Freemasonic  or  known  under  some  other
denomination.  WE CONDEMN AND FORBID THEM BY THIS
OUR  PRESENT  CONSTITUTION,  WHICH   IS   TO   BE
CONSIDERED VALID FOREVER." - Pope Clement XII

Roman Catholicism vs. Judeo-Masonry

"...you  must labor and diligently take care that
the faith may  be  preserved  amidst  this  great
conspiracy  of impious men who attempt to tear it
down and destroy it." (Mirari Vos, Encyclical  of
Pope Gregory XVI, August 15, 1832 A.D.)

"...the   roots   of   modern   apostasy  lay  in
scientific  atheism,   dialectical   materialism,
rationalism,     illuminism,     laicism,     and
Freemasonry; which is the mother of them  all..."

The  Papacy  and  Freemasonry,
a Speech by Monseigneur Jouin,  December 8,  1930

Papacy and Freemasonry, those are the two  powers
active  throughout  the world and each is seeking
to dominate it.  The  solution  of  the  struggle
taking  place  between  them  is,  at the present
moment of the utmost importance; for we are  face
to  face  not only with the crossroads of history
but  also  with  a  radical   transformation   of
humanity  itself.  Either  Roman Catholicism will
lift us  up  again  to  the  level  of  Christian
civilization  or  else Judeo-Masonry will drag us
down the path of barbarism and decadent paganism.
The  whole  world  oscillates  between  the  two:
Christianism and Paganism. On December 8th, 1892,
Pope  Leo  XIII  wrote  to  the Italian Episcopal
Hierarchy: "It is necessary to fight  Freemasonry
with  those weapons of divine faith which in past
ages vanquished paganism."

Moreover the Papacy and Judeo-Masonry are both so
fully  conscious  of  the  diametrically  opposed
parts that they are playing that they assume that
from  it  must  issue  the  political,  economic,
intellectual and religious future of  individuals
as  well  as  of  nations.  It  is a fact and the
better  proof  of   it   is   their   irreducible
antagonism toward each other.

What  is,  indeed, Judeo-Masonry today if not the
concentration  and  mobilization  of   all   evil
forces?  This  Sect  with  its threefold claim of
being  Counter-Church   (against   the   Church),
Counter-State    (against    the    State)    and
Counter-Morality (against  traditional  morality)
takes  pride in being above all and for all times
the enemy of the  Catholic  Church;  one  of  its
rallying  calls  is  that of Tigrotto, one of the
Alta Vendita chiefs  who,  in  1822,  proclaimed:
"Catholicism  must  be  destroyed  throughout the
whole   world."   With    Tigrotto    also    the
anti-Catholic  plan  is  expressed  thus: "Let us
conspire  only  against  Rome."   Is   this   not
expressed  in  an  identical manner in the German
"Los Von Rom" or in the English: "No Popery?"

Monseigneur Gay,  having  been  assigned  by  the
Council  of  the  Vatican  the duty of writing "A
Memorandum  on  Secret   Societies,"   gave   the
following striking definition of Freemasonry: "It
is evident that in a general way,  this  doctrine
of Freemasonry is not only a heresy, nor even the
totality of all heresies,  which  find  in  it  a
haven;  it is a fact that Masonry goes beyond the
limits of  what  constitutes  what  is  generally
ascribed to the word 'heresy,' for it allows full
play to the commission of outrageous  perversion.
Freemasonry  is  indeed  the abyss of all errors,
the well of perdition."

Catholic King Louis XVI, King of France Louis XVI
Distributes   Alms   to   the   Poor  The  French
Revolution's Satanic Freemasonic Creed The  Reign
of  Terror  Execution  of  Catholic Monarch Louis
XVI, January 21, 1793

This abyss of all  errors  (Abyssus  Errorum)  is
justly  compared  to the "abysmal well' mentioned
in Revelation (abyssus putei, ix,  1-3  ),  whose
emanations darken the light of the sun and poison
the  air.  It  is  this   accursed   Sect   whose
perversion  was  stigmatized by Pope Pius IX when
he named it: "The Synagogue of Satan." Due to its
enormous  extension and its nowadays very visible
collusion  with  International  Jewish   Finance,
Freemasonry  has  indeed become the "Synagogue of
Satan." As such it provided funds for the Russian
revolution,   installed  in  Moscow;  it  carried
Communism  from  East  to  West,  took   up   the
leadership  of States of their governments, their
various administration departments or ministries,
and  of their parliaments and, in consequence, it
is such a world power  that  for  any  discerning
mind,  it  seems  as  though, today, there are on
earth only two great powers, viz.:  Judeo-Masonry
in  the  service of World Jewry and the Church in
the hands of Peter's successor. Those two  powers
are  at  war,  face to face as though fighting an
endless duel, as  is  clearly  expressed  in  the
stone inscription of the Masonic Grand Orient and
Supreme Council  of  France:  "The  fight  taking
place  between  Catholicism  and Freemasonry is a
fight  to   the   very   death,   ceaseless   and
merciless."  (Bulletin  of  the  Grand  Orient of
France P. 183. 1892  and  in  memorandum  of  the
Supreme Council No. 85, page 48.)

With such a rallying definite line of action, one
can positively affirm that Judeo-Masonry  is  the
unique enemy of the Church. It can be detected in
all anti-Catholic attacks against clergy or laity
led  either  by  Freemasons  or by even Catholics
whose faith has decreased  due  to  either  fear,
passion or self-interest.

In  his  encyclical "Humanum Genus" Pope Leo XIII
wrote: "There  exists  in  the  world  a  certain
number   of   sects   which   although  seemingly
different one from another as  to  name,  ritual,
form  and origin are, however, similar due to the
analogy  of  their  aim  and  chief   principles.
Indeed,  they  are identical to Freemasonry which
is, for them all, the central  point  from  which
they  proceed  and  toward  which they converge."
Further, in his  letter  to  the  Italian  people
dated  December  8,  1892,  Pope Leo XIII writes:
"Let   us   remember   that   Christianity    and
Freemasonry are essentially incompatible, to such
an extent, that to become united with  one  means
being divorced from the other. Let us, therefore,
expose Freemasonry as the enemy of  God,  of  the
Church and of our Motherland."

St.    Peter, First Pope of the Catholic Church

At  the  present  moment (1930) it is a fact that
St. Augustine's two cities, the City of Good  and
The  City  of  Evil are separate, each seeking to
rule in the world. The  City  of  Evil  ruled  by
Satan  is  named  Judeo-Masonry;  insistently  it
proclaims   to   all,   Catholics,   Protestants,
Orthodox, to Freethinkers, Communists and Pagans,
in fact  to  the  whole  world  that:  "To  fight
against   papacy   is   a  social  necessity  and
constitutes the constant  duty  of  Freemasonry."
(Masonic  International Congress held in Brussels
1904, page 132 of the report. ) The City of  Good
and  of  Jesus Christ is the Catholic Church; for
over 19 centuries, according to the  teaching  of
the  Roman  Pontiff, She repeats to the world Her
immutable creed: I believe in the  Holy  Catholic
and Apostolic Church.

Such  is  the  subject  of my conference. From an
over-all viewpoint, there should  issue  a  solid
appreciation  of  the  work  of a number of Popes
done on the subject of the  Sect  of  Freemasonry
from  the time it made its appearance in the 18th
century.  It  showed   its   anti-religious   and
anti-social    activities    as   well   as   its
licentiousness and its aims which, from the  very
beginning,  were  susceptible of excommunication.
It showed also its prodigious development leading
to   the  situation  which  I  already  sketched,
namely, the duality of forces: one, the forces of
evil concentrating in Judeo-Masonry and the other
the forces of good,  concentrated  in  one  flock
under    the   staff   of   the   one   shepherd;
(representative of Jesus Christ) who, since  1738
has constantly renewed the appeal for the defense
of the Church against Her mortal  enemy  --  even
though  in many instances the appeal was useless.
Surrounded by Ghettos and Masonic Lodges, in  the
course  of  a  fight  which has become universal,
Popes have reiterated their  appeal  for  defense
and  have clearly shown the place and the duty of
Catholics -- all too  frequently  the  place  has
been left deserted and the duty has been betrayed
in a shameful manner. However, even if in our day
we  are  witnessing  the terrific confirmation of
these truths, it is necessary  to  remember  that
they were proclaimed by several Popes.

+ Pope Clement XII 1730-1740

Founded in 1717, modern speculative Masonry  took
on  its  actual form following the publication by
Anderson, a clergyman, of the "Constitutions"  in
1723.  Fifteen  years  later,  on April 28, 1738,
Pope Clement XII in his  Pontifical  Constitution
"In  Eminenti"  condemned  Freemasonry  as  being
Counter-Church  and  Counter-State.  It  was  the
Pontifical  reply.  Failure  to  heed it, whether
partial or general, by the Church and  the  State
of  those  days,  seems  to  us as the primordial
cause of all our political and religious  present
day turmoil.

Thus said Pope Clement XII:

"Let us meditate upon the serious evils which are
usually the result of those kinds of Societies or
centers,   not   only  concerning  the  peace  of
temporal States, but still more  as  regards  the
salvation  of  souls.  Those Societies are not in
agreement with the civil and economic laws of the
States."

"In  order  to  close  the  widely  open  road to
iniquities which might be committed with impunity
and  also for other reasons, just and reasonable,
that have come to our knowledge .  .  .  We  have
resolved  and  decreed to condemn and forbid such
Societies,  assemblies,  reunions,   conventions,
aggregations    or    meetings    called   either
Freemasonic   or   known   under    some    other
denomination. We condemn and forbid them by this,
our  present  constitution,  which   is   to   be
considered valid for ever."

However,  not  only  is  the condemnation by Pope
Clement XII extended to  Masonic  Sects,  but  it
applies also to all the laymen who, although they
are not members of Societies called  Freemasonic,
favor  them,  in any manner, thus: "We command to
the faithful to  abstain  from  intercourse  with
those   societies   .  .  .  in  order  to  avoid
excommunication,  which  will  be   the   penalty
imposed  upon all those contravening to this, our
order. None, except at the point of death,  could
be  absolved of this son except by us or the then
existing Roman Pontiff."

The  Constitution  "In  Eminenti"  was   extended
throughout  all  the  Papal  States  by  Cardinal
Ferrao's Edict of January 14th, 1739.


+ Pope Benedict XIV 1740-1758

Pope  Benedict  XIV,  on March 16, 1751 published
the Constitution "Providas" in which he  inserted
in  full  In  Eminenti,  the  Bull which had been
written by his predecessor, Clement XII, in order
to  make it very evident that the condemnation of
Freemasonry was irrevocable and was to be applied
to the future as well as to the present.

As  a  matter  of fact, Benedict XIV, had already
denounced Masonry as  being  Counter-Morality  in
connection with the Order of Felicity of Avignon,
a Secret Society of debauchers; among  themselves
the  members of this Society spoke only in a kind
of slangy language usually used by  sailors.  The
Pope  mentions  it twice in his correspondence. I
am here transcribing a few lines from his  letter
of March 25th, 1744, addressed to the Cardinal de
Tencin, who was the Pontifical Ambassador at  the
Court  of  King  Louis XV: "We have received from
Avignon the  news  that  in  Nimes  and  also  at
Montpellier   the   Freemasons   gave   a   great
entertainment in order to gain proselytes.  Women
and men from the Avignon Society went to it, and,
doubtless, upon their return they will organize a
Freemasonic   Lodge  as  they  once  had  already
attempted to do under  the  name  of  Society  of
Felicity;  they  might  have succeeded had it not
been for the zeal of the Archbishop. We wish  you
to  protest,  in  Our name, to His most Christian
Majesty. so that He Will  not  authorize  in  His
States,   the  Sect  of  Freemasons  which  other
Princes have extirpated from their own  country."
(From  the correspondence of Pope Benedict XIV by
Gmile de Heckeren. )

Furthermore,  in  his  Constitution,  "Providas,"
Benedict  XIV  enumerates six reasons which drove
Pope Clement XII to strike Secret Societies; they
are 1) the Interconfessonalism (or Interfaith) of
Freemasons; 2) their secret; 3)  their  oath;  4)
their  opposition  to  Church  and  State; 5) the
interdiction pronounced against them  in  several
States  by  the  Heads of such countries; and, 6)
their immorality  which  the  Pope  characterizes
thus:  "Those Societies, according to men who are
prudent and honest, are ill-famed, and to  become
a   member   thereof,  would  lead  to  evil  and
perversion."

From the outset, before the 18th  century,  under
the  efforts  of  Masonry  which sank us into the
horrors of the French Revolution,  the  Sect  had
been unmasked by the Popes and exposed before the
eyes of the  Catholics  with  its  odious  triple
shame  of  Counter-Morality,  Counter-State,  and
above all, Counter-Church. Let  a  Freemason,  F.
Limousin,  in  his  first  number  of the Masonic
Review called "L'ACACIA," of October, 1902, using
the   pen-name  of  Hiram,  gives  the  following
characteristic  definition:  "Freemasonry  is  an
association  .  . . an institution . . . so it is
said . . . but it is not that at all. Let us lift
up   all   the   veils,  risking  even  to  evoke
numberless  protestations.   Freemasonry   is   a
church:     It     is     the     Counter-Church,
Counter-Catholicism: It is the  other  church  --
the   church   of  heresy,  of  Freethought;  The
Catholic Church is considered  as  the  arch-type
church, the first church, church of dogmatism and
of orthodoxy."



+ Pope Clement XIII 1758-1769

I  wish  to add that during the 18th century Pope
Clement XIII condemned highly placed Masons in an
ordinance  of  January, 1759, against the work of
Helvetius and this Pope published on  Sept.  3rd,
1759,   his  constitution  "Ut  Primum"  directed
against  the  "Encyclopedie"   of   Diderot   and
d'Alembert   .  Finally,  in  his  Encyclical  of
November  25th,  1766,  "Christianae   Republicae
Salus,"  Pope  Clement  XIII  denounced the peril
incurred  by  Church  and   State   through   the
published  works  of  so-called  philosophers. It
meant that all Voltairian and Masonic works  were
being anathemized in the following terms:

"The enemy of all Good," said the Pope, "has sown
the evil seed in the field of the  Lord  and  the
evil  grain has grown rapidly, to such an extent,
that it threatens to destroy the harvest.  It  is
time  to  cut  it  down." "In our days nothing is
free from the attacks of those who  are  impious.
God  Himself becomes the object of their insolent
audacity, they represent Him as a  being  who  is
mute,  inert,  devoid of a sense of providence or
justice; they lower Him  down  to  the  level  of
animals.  As far as they are concerned, matter is
all or at least dominates everything. Even  those
among  them who are opposed to such gross errors,
but too frequently in our days, are  not  afraid,
in  their  pride, to scrutinize our mysteries and
to submit everything to  nothing  but  their  own
reasoning power."

Clement  XIII  exposes  all  the sores of Masonry
which at the time of the  French  Revolution  had
reached   the   state   of   gangrene,   such  as
Materialism, Nationalism, Deism and even  Atheism
which  is  most  imperfectly veiled by the "Grand
Architect of the Universe," a notion which, after
all,  is  only  the  spontaneous evolution of the
universal    religion     promised     in     the
"Constitutions"   of  Anderson.  In  a  last  but
anxious appeal the Pope entreats all the  Bishops
in  the Catholic world to link their efforts with
his own and to beseech all Christian  Princes  to
take in hand the defense of the Sorrowing Church,
"Gementis  Ecclesiae  Causam  Exposcite."  Listen
attentively,  23  years  before 1789 (year of the
French Revolution) the Church was in  tears,  due
to  the  threats held out by Freemasonry; who can
vouch for the assumption that 23 years remain  to
us  before  the Judeo-Masonry of the 20th century
will add to the tears being shed by the Church --
blood  tears  similar  to those shed during 1793?
But this time it will not be in France only,  but
throughout  the whole world. Is this not the time
to speak again of the Sorrowing Church?



+ Pope Pius VI 1795-1799

During the last  quarter  of  this  18th  century
during  which  Masonry  had  spent  72  years  to
prepare for 1789 and the bloodshed which  was  to
last  many  years, Peter's Seat had been occupied
by Pius VI, who was destined to die in exile. His
first  Encyclical  of  December  25, 1775, is the
acknowledgment  of  the  tears   he   has   shed,
"Nostrarum  Vim Pacrymarum Exquirit," those tears
caused by the so-called  philosophers,  fanatical
enemies   of  the  Church,  professors  of  lies.
"Magistros Mendacissimos," leaders  of  sects  of
perdition  who,  with  their  erroneous  beliefs,
penetrate into the seats of the Academies, in the
houses  of  the notables, in the Courts of Kings,
and what is still more horrible,  even  penetrate
in  the  Lord's  Sanctuary, "Etiam in sanctuarium
insinuant."

Alas! Those "Sects of Perdition" at the  hour  of
the  Revolution dragged along too many members of
the regular and secular Clergy whose names appear
on the lists of Masonic lodges: "Corruptio optimi
pessima." What of the situation today?



+ Pope Pius VII 1800-1823

Let  us now enter into the 19th century. The wars
of the French Revolution and of the Empire spread
and   favored  the  creation  of  Masonic  lodges
(mostly Military lodges) and the  rapid  European
expansion of Masonic subversive ideas.

Pope Pius VII became one of its glorious victims.
It  was  therefore,  in  full  knowledge  of  the
subject,   that   on   September,  1821,  in  his
Encyclical  "Ecclesiam  a  Jesu-Cristo  the  Pope
applied  to  the  Carbonari  the  following text:
"They come under the guise of sheep although they
are,  in  truth, none but ravening wolves." Thus,
the Pope reiterated against  the  Freemasons  the
condemnations   pronounced  by  Clement  XII  and
Benedict XIV because they propagandize "religious
indifference   which   is,   of   all,  the  most
pernicious"; They also  grant  to  everyone  full
liberty   to   inaugurate  for  himself  his  own
religion according to his ideas and inclinations;
to also profane and sully Our Savior's Passion in
some of  their  odious  ceremonies;  to  hold  in
contempt the Sacraments of the Church to which in
a horrible sacrilegious  manner  they  substitute
sacraments  of their own invention and they treat
with  derision  the  Mysteries  of  the  Catholic
Religion.  Lastly,  urged  by a particular hatred
toward  the  Apostolic  See,   because   of   its
supremacy,  Freemasons  form  conspiracies of the
darkest and  most  sinister  kind,  in  order  to
overthrow it.

To  what  does  Pope Pius VII refer when he makes
use of the  words  "they  hold  in  contempt  the
Sacraments  of the Church"; if not to the Masonic
180 degree of the Rose Croix, which is an  odious
parody of the Sacrament of the Eucharist? What is
it that the Pontiff stigmatises when  he  alludes
to  the  substitution  of  Masonic  sacraments to
those of the  Church  and  its  ensuing  horrible
sacrileges  if  not  to  the "black mass" and the
theft of consecrated hosts which  Masons  of  the
highest  grades  carry on their person as "Sacred
Deposit" during the ceremony which  precedes  the
orgy  in the course of which they will profane It
in the lowest, voluptuous ignominy?

Why should we thus administer such blows to  this
"Anti  Papism"?  It is because it is the unbroken
chain of Freemasonry and because the Pope is,  on
earth,  the  representative of Jesus Christ whose
Cross is trampled upon by Masons, and because  in
the  course  of their rites, at the 30 initiation
grade, they throw upside down  the  Pope's  tiara
and  figuratively  pierce  his heart. Such things
occur at the initiation of the degree  of  Knight
Kadosh. Pope Pius VII was well informed.



+ Pope Leo XII 1823-1829

Soon  after  his  election  as  Pope on March 13,
1825,  Leo  XII  published  his  Encyclical  "Quo
Graviora"    condemning    the   Society   called
Freemasonry,  as  well  as   all   other   Secret
Societies.  In  this  Encyclical he first of all,
republished the Constitutions  of  Popes  Clement
XII,  Benedict XIV and Pius VII. Their appeal had
remained  fruitless  as  far   as   the   various
governments  were  concerned  and  Pope  Leo  XII
wrote:

"We have endeavored to discover the state, number
and  influence  of secret societies and We easily
have been able to acknowledge that, if  only  due
to  the  number  of  new  sects which have joined
them, their  audacity  has  increased.  The  Sect
known  under  the  name  of "L'universitaire" has
especially   drawn   Our   attention:   It    has
established  a  center  in  several  Universities
where young men, instead of receiving the correct
teaching  are perverted by a few teachers who are
initiates of certain  Mysteries  which  might  be
called  Mysteries  of Iniquity and are trained to
commit crimes."

Let us note that Pope Leo XII was afraid  of  the
masonic penetration in public school teaching and
seemed to foresee the devastation that  the  "One
School"  would  rapidly  inflict  upon  both  the
Church and society at large.

Leo  XII,  in  summing  up  the  harm  caused  by
clandestine sects, so evident in works written by
their members, wrote:

"They have dared publish works  on  Religion  and
Affairs   of   State,  they  have  exposed  their
contempt   for   authority,   their   hatred   of
Sovereignty,  their  attacks against the Divinity
of Jesus Christ and the very  existence  of  God:
They  openly  vaunt  their materialism as well as
their codes  and  statutes  which  explain  their
plans  and  efforts  in  order  to  overthrow the
legitimate Heads of State and completely  destroy
the Church.

"What  is  definitely  ascertained  is that those
different sects, despite the diversity  of  their
names,   are   all   united  and  linked  by  the
similarity of their infamous plans."

Thus speaking, Pope Leo XII,  considered  he  was
accomplishing  his duty as Supreme Pontiff and he
wrote further, this page, which thoroughly throws
light on our actual situation:

"Let  us  use  the words of our predecessor, Pope
Clement  XIII,  in  his  Encyclical   Letter   of
September  14, 1758, addressed to all Patriarchs,
Primates, Archbishops and Bishops of the Catholic
Church, in which he said:

'I  entreat  you  to  become  penetrated  of  the
Strength of the Spirit of God,  His  Intelligence
and  His Virtue, in order to escape being likened
to the mute dogs who, unable to bark,  leave  Our
flocks  exposed to the voracity of beasts roaming
the  fields.  Let  nothing  stop   Us,   in   the
fulfillment  of  Our  duty  which  enjoins  Us to
suffer all kinds of combats for the Glory of  God
and  the  salvation  of  souls. Let Us constantly
keep before Our eyes  the  picture  of  HIM  who,
during  HIS  lifetime,  was  also  exposed to the
opposition of sinners. If we allow  ourselves  to
be shaken by the audacity of evildoers it will be
the end of eposcopal strength, the  end  also  of
the  sublime  and divine authority of the Church:
moreover, let us  abandon  even  the  thought  of
being  Christians if we have reached the point of
trembling before the threats or  the  traps  laid
for us by perverts'."

Leo   XII   ends   this   magnificent  Encyclical
anathematizing Freemasons and writing:

"Those men are like those to whom,  according  to
Saint   John,   the   Apostle,   hospitality  and
greetings should be denied.  (Second  Epistle  of
St.  John, V. 10). They are the same men whom our
Fathers,   without   hesitation,    termed    the
first-born of the devil."



+ Pope Pius VIII 1829-1830

Successor  of  Leo  XII,  Pope  Pius VIII, in his
Encyclical "Traditi", published at  the  time  of
his  advent  on  May  21,  1829  renewed  all the
condemnations of his predecessors, repeating as I
showed  above,  that all Masonic Sects are issued
from the "Well of Perdition." It  was  under  his
short  reign as Pontiff that a new Lodge of "Alta
Vendita" was  discovered  in  Rome,  having  been
formed  in  1828  and headed by Joseph Picilli as
Grand Master. Following Leo XII, Pius  VIII  most
particularly    mentions    the    Sect    called
"Unitsersitaire," saying:

"Its aim is to corrupt youth in schools."

and he applies to Masons those words of Saint Leo
the Great:

"Their law is untruth: their god is the devil and
their cult is turpitude."



+ Pope Gregory XVI 1831-1846

On August 15, 1832, Gregory XVI,  addressing  all
the Episcopal Hierarchy of the Catholic world, in
his Encyclical: "Mirari Vos" wrote:

"Truly indeed we can say that this  is  the  hour
granted  to  the  power  of darkness to grind the
elect as wheat."

"Evil comes out of Secret  Societies,  bottomless
abyss of misery, which those conspiring societies
have dug and in which heresies and sects have, as
may  be said, vomited as in a privy all they hold
of licentiousness, sacrilege and blasphemy.

Just 18 days before his death, on may  13,  1846,
Pope  Gregory  XVI  put in the hands of Cretineau
Joly, the documents of the Italian  Alta  Vendita
which  this author published in 1858 in his book:
"L'Eglise Romaine en face de la Revolution" ( the
Roman  Church  facing  the  Revolution). It would
indeed be of the highest kind of interest to have
a faithful and complete copy of those manuscripts
which are, doubtless, in the Vatican.



+ Pope Pius IX 1848-1878

Let   us  proceed  further.  The  chief  work  of
Judeo-Masonry  planned  by  Cavour,  Mazzini  and
Garibaldi   was   reaching  its  goal  under  the
Pontificate of Pope Pius IX, with the downfall of
Papal  temporal  power. According to the theories
of those sectarians of Masonry, such a  loss  was
sure  to  entail  also  that  of spiritual power;
accordingly the new Pope fixed the responsibility
for  the  conspiracy  upon  the  Secret Societies
when, in the Encyclical following his advent,  he
wrote on November 9, 1846:

"Venerable  Brethren, you also are fully aware of
the monstrous errors and devices employed by  the
children  of  this  century to pursue a merciless
war against the  Catholic  Religion,  the  Divine
Authority  of the Church and its laws in order to
trample   upon   the   rights   of    both    the
Ecclesiastical  and  Civil power: such is the aim
of the guilty machinations against Saint  Peter's
Roman  See,  upon  which  Christ  established the
inexpugnable foundation of His  Church.  Such  is
the  aim  of  those Secret Societies issuing from
darkness for the eventual ruin  of  Religion  and
States,  and  which,  on  several occasions, have
already  been  anathemized  by  preceding   Roman
Pontiffs in their Apostolical Letters. We confirm
the importance of such Letters and wish  them  to
be followed with great care."

Moreover,  from Gaete, the place of his exile, in
his allocution: "Quibus Quantisque" addressed  to
the  Consistory  of  April,  1849,  Pope  Pius IX
renewed  the  identical   condemnation   in   the
following terms:

"Those abominable sects of perdition which are as
fatally destructive of the salvation of souls  as
of  the welfare and peace of secular society have
been   condemned   by   Roman    Pontiffs,    Our
predecessors;  We  have also personally condemned
them  Ourselves  in  Our  Encyclical  Letter   of
November 9, 1846, addressed to all the Bishops of
the Catholic Church, yet today in virtue  of  Our
Supreme  Catholic  Authority  -  We,  once again,
condemn, forbid and anathematize them."

The  Constitution  against  Freemasonry  and  the
Secret Societies of which Pope Pius IX speaks are
those of Popes Clement XII, Benedict XIV, Leo XII
and  Pius  VIII;  he  adds his own of November 9,
1846 (Qui Pluribus) in his letter to  Monseigneur
Darboy,  October 26, 1865, concerning the funeral
service of Marshall Magnan, Supreme Master of the
Order   of   Freemasons;   he   adds   also,  his
communication to the Bishop of Olinda (Brazil) of
May 29, 1873.

The renewed sentences of anathema by Pope Pius IX
strike most particularly the satanism  of  secret
societies.  In  his  Encyclical  of  November 21,
1873, the Pope writes of them as the synagogue of
satan,  and addressing its members he had already
castigated them (Consistory of December 9,  1854)
using to this effect, the words of Christ:

"You  are  of your father the devil and the works
of your father you will do."

What are those works?  Satan  is  a  liar  and  a
murderer  from  the  beginning  of the world, Our
Lord tells us. Pope Pius IX denounced  the  great
lie  of  the  so-called White Freemasonry, in his
Allocution of  September  15,  1865  "Multiplices
inter" when he says:

"And  now,  in  order  to  satisfy the desire and
solicitude of Our Fatherly Heart,  there  remains
for  US  only to warn and exhort the Faithful who
might have associated themselves to Sects of this
kind  to  obey  wiser  inspirations  and to leave
those  evil  assemblies  so  as  to  avoid  being
dragged in the abyss of eternal ruin.

"As  to  all  the  other  faithful, being full of
solicitude for their souls,  WE  strongly  exhort
them  to  beware  of the perfidious discourses of
sectarians who, under a disguise of honesty,  are
inflamed  by  an ardent hatred of the Religion of
Christ and of all legitimate authority: they have
but   one   thought   with   the   sole   aim  of
exterminating, all Divine and human  rights.  Let
them  all be fully conscious of the fact that the
affiliates of such sects are as the  wolves  who,
as Our Lord predicted, come disguised with sheeps
hide to devour the whole flock: Let the  faithful
know  that such affiliates must be numbered among
those  with  whom  the  Apostle  forbade  us   to
associate, telling us also to even avoid greeting
them."

Pope  Pius  IX  equally  denounced  the   satanic
homicide of Red Masonry in a letter to the Bishop
of Olinda (Brazil) in the following words:

"The Satanic spirit of the Sect was  particularly
evidenced, in the past century, during the course
of the Revolutions  of  France  which  shook  the
entire  world.  Such  upheavals  proved  that the
total  dissolution  of  human  society  could  be
expected unless the forces of this ultra criminal
Sect were crushed."

That letter was dated May 29,  1873;  the  latest
Masonic  and  Satanic Revolution at that time was
that which in Italy had resulted in  making  Pope
Pius  IX  "the prisoner of the Vatican." It seems
as though the Holy Pontiff was foreseeing such an
issue  when  he  uttered his complaint concerning
the  dual  failure  of  the  previous  Pontifical
condemnations of Masonry. (September 15, 1865).

First   he   referred   to  the  failure  of  the
anti-Masonic endeavor thus:

"However, the Apostolic See's  efforts  have  not
been  crowned  with  the  success that might have
been expected. The Masonic Sect of which we speak
has  been  neither  defeated nor overthrown: just
the reverse, the Sect has developed  to  such  an
extent  that,  in these days of great difficulty,
it shows itself everywhere and with impunity  and
raises a more audacious countenance."

Secondly,  the  Pope  outlined the failure of the
Catholic side, thus:

"Venerable Brethren,  We  feel  deep  sorrow  and
bitterness,  when  We see that when, according to
the Constitutions of Our Predecessors, action  is
necessary  to  condemn this Masonic Sect, many of
those whose functions and sacerdotal duty  should
make  them ultra vigilant and ardent over such an
important  cause  have,  alas!  shown  themselves
indifferent  and  as though asleep. If some among
them believe that  the  Apsotolic  Constitutions,
published  under sentence of anathema against the
Occult Sects and their adepts and initiates carry
no   strength  in  those  countries  where  civil
authorities  tolerate   them,   they   are   most
assuredly laboring under a serious mistake."

"As  you  well  know, Venerable Brethren, We have
prohibited  and  We  again  today  prohibit   and
condemn  this false evil doctrine. In fact let Us
ask whether the Sovereign power 'To feed and lead
the  universal  flock'  which was vested in Saint
Peter  by  Jesus  and  through  which  the  Roman
Pontiffs received the Supreme Authority that they
must exercise in the Church  depends  from  civil
power  --  can  such  civil  power  constrain and
restrain them in anything whatever? Due to  those
circumstances and fearing that injudicious people
and above all, youth, might be led astray, and in
order  that  silence  on  Our  part  might induce
anyone to  lend  protection  to  error,  We  have
resolved,   Venerable   Brethren,  to  raise  Our
Apostolic Voice -- therefore, We  hereby  confirm
before  you the Constitutions of Our Predecessors
and in virtue of Our Apostolic Authority We  hold
up  to  reprobation  and  We condemn this Masonic
Society and all other societies of the same order
which,  although  different  in  appearance,  but
pursuing the  same  aim  against  the  Church  or
legitimate   Civil  Power  are  constantly  being
formed. It is Our order that  all  Christians  of
any  standing  whatsoever,  of  any  rank or high
appointment and over  all  the  earth  should  be
informed  that  the  said Societies are forbidden
and reproved by US, and incur the same  sentences
and  condemnations as those that are specified in
the former constitutions of our predecessors."

Among the reproved  societies  must  be  included
such  Leagues  as:  the  League  of  Human Rights
(Ligue des Droits de L'homme) and the League  for
Education (Ligue de l'Enseistnement ) .



+ Pope Leo XIII 1878-1903

Pope  Leo  XIII,  successor  of  Pius  IX,   upon
instructions  from  the Holy Office, dealt, first
of all, with the Brazilian  Masonic  question  on
July  2nd, 1878. Then later, addressing the whole
Church,  on  April  20,  1884,  Pope   Leo   XIII
published  his  magnificent  Encyclical  "Humanum
Genus." Taking up once  again  Saint  Augustine's
pages  concerning the two cities which, on earth,
constitute the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom  of
Satan,   the  Pontiff  reviews  the  considerable
development  which  Freemasonry  has  taken   and
writes:

"Today evil doers all seem allied in a tremendous
effort inspired by and with the help of a society
powerfully  organized  and widely spread over the
world, it is the Society of Freemasons.  In  fact
those  people  no  longer even try to dissimulate
their intentions,  but  they  actually  challenge
each  other's  audacity  in order to assail God's
August Majesty.

"It  is  now  publicly  and  overtly  that   they
undertake  to  ruin  the  Holy  Church,  so as to
succeed, if  it  is  possible,  in  the  complete
dispossession  of  Christian  nations  of all the
gifts they owe to Our Savior Jesus Christ.

"As a result, in the space of  a  century  and  a
half,   the  sect  of  the  Freemasons  has  made
incredible progress. Making use at the same  time
of  audacity and cunning, Masonry has invaded all
the ranks of social hierarchy, and in the  modern
States  it  has  begun  to seize a power which is
almost equivalent to Sovereignty.

In  order   to   strengthen   those   enlightened
observations, Leo XIII refers to his predecessors
and writes:

"This peril was denounced for the first  time  by
Pope  Clement  XII  in 1738, and the Constitution
promulgated  by  that  Pope   was   renewed   and
confirmed  by  Benedict XIV; Pius VII followed in
the footsteps of those Pontiffs, and Pope Leo XII
including  in  his  Apostolical Constitution 'Quo
Graviora'  all  the  deeds  and  decrees  of  the
preceding  Popes  on  that  subject, ratified and
confirmed them for ever. Popes Pius VIII, Gregory
XVI  and  on several occasions Pope Pius IX spoke
in the same manner."

Whereas  he  approved  and  confirmed   all   the
Pontifical     condemnations    issued    against
Freemasonry from those of Clement  XII  in  1738,
Leo  XIII  moreover more amply exposed the reason
for such actions and  gives  as  his  motive  for
acting thus:

"It  is because of the fundamental aim and spirit
of the Masonic sect which  has  been  exposed  in
full  light  through the evident manifestation of
its  deeds,  the  acquired   knowledge   of   its
principles,   its   rules,   its  rites  and  its
commentaries  to  which  have  been   added   the
testimonies of its own adepts . . .

"It  is  exceedingly  important  to  bring to the
notice of  all  peoples  to  what  extent  events
confirmed  the  wisdom of our predecessors. Their
foresight and paternal soticitude did not  always
attain  the desired success. This failure must be
ascribed  on  the  one   hand   either   to   the
dissimulation  and cunning of men members of this
pernicious sect or, on the  other  hand,  to  the
imprudent  lightness  of  character  of those who
should, however, have been highly  interested  in
watching it attentively"

Leo XIII refers frequently to the hypocrisy which
is the basis of "White Freemasonry" and  mentions
the  fatal  evolution  of  its revolutionary aims
which turns it into "Red Masonry."

Upon being attentively  studied  this  Encyclical
most   strikingly   reveals  the  triple  Masonic
character, namely that its aims are:

*  Counter-Morality
*  Counter-State
*  Counter-Church

1. Counter Morality

The  Pope  defines  the  Masonic point of view on
morality thus:

"The only thing which has found grace before  the
members  of  the  Masonic  sect and in which they
request that  youth  should  receive  the  proper
teaching  is  what  they  call  'Civic Morality',
independent morality,  free  morality,  in  other
words  a morality in which religious beliefs find
no room. This morality is  insufficient  and  its
effects are its own condemnation.

"Furthermore there have been found in Freemasonry
several sectarians who have maintained  that  all
means are to be systematically used, in order, to
saturate the multitudes with  licentiousness  and
vices;  because  in  their  opinion peoples would
naturally fall into their hands  and  become  the
instruments  needed  for  the  accomplishment  of
their  most   audacious   evil   projects.   Such
counter-morality  is  that  of civil marriage, of
divorce,  of  free  love   and   of   irreligious
education for youth.

"It  aims at the complete destruction of the main
foundations of justice and honesty. In  this  way
Freemasons  make  themselves  the  auxiliaries of
those who wish that, like an animal, man  had  no
other  rule  of  conduct  than his own desires --
Such a scheme can only dishonor  human  kind  and
ignominiously cast him into perdition."

2. Counter State

On  this  subject  Pope  Leo  XIII  foresaw  that
Freemasonry,   "the   power   which   is   almost
equivalent  to  sovereignty,"  and  which already
occupied the place of "State within  the  State,"
would  soon form the Super State. It is from such
a situation that there  was  issued  the  Masonic
dogma  of separation of Church and State; thence,
issued also the anti-religious laws which Brother
Bethmont,  member of Parliament of the department
of Charente Inf'erieure and former  President  of
the  Cour  Des Comptes, in 1878 was explaining to
Monseigneur Pie, Bishop of Poitiers. The  prelate
then  said  to  him:  "Sir, I believe you want to
inaugurate anew the  fight  against  the  Church;
have  you  any  hope  of  succeeding there, where
Nero,  Julian  the  Apostate   and   your   great
ancestors  of  the 1793 French Revolution failed?
-- He replied:

"Your Eminence, at the risk of seeming too  bold,
I will say that those ,you have mentioned did not
quite know how to act. We shall do  much  better.
Violence  against  the  Church  leads nowhere, we
shall  use  other  means.  We  shall  organize  a
persecution which shall be both clever and legal;
we shall surround the Church with  a  network  of
laws, decrees and ordinances which will stifle it
without shedding one drop of blood."

Who, may I ask, is  making  those  closely  woven
nets  of laws, decrees and ordinances? The State,
of  course,  but  it  is  a  Masonic  State,   an
irreligious  State  under  the  power  of a Super
State which at the present moment is the Ruler of
the World.

When  Leo  XIII adjures his Venerable Brethren to
unite their zeal to his own efforts in order, "to
annihilate  the  impure  contagion  of the poison
which flows in the veins  of  human  society  and
causes  a state of total infection," it is with a
feeling of fear that one brings to mind the death
sentence   pronounced  against  humanity  in  the
"Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

"When we introduced into the State  organism  the
poison   of   Liberalism   its   whole  political
complexion underwent a change. States  have  been
seized  with  a mortal illness -- bloodpoisoning.
All that remains is to await  the  end  of  their
death agony."

Thus,  while  States  are  gravitating  toward  a
Universal Republic, the  Super-State  becomes  an
infrangible  dictature,  which  according  to its
will grinds them down or else thoroughly  infects
them; that Super State is called Judeo-Masonry.

3. Counter Church

Hence the supreme aim of the Sect, as it has been
pointed out by the Popes, is none other than  the
complete   destruction  of  the  Church  and  the
Papacy. Pope Leo  XIII  persistently  underscores
this rigorous consequence and says:

"Since the proper and very special mission of the
Catholic Church consists in the  safeguarding  of
the   incorruptible   purity   of  the  doctrines
revealed by God, as well as that  of  established
authority  for their teaching and other God given
help  for  the  salvation  of  mankind;   it   is
inevitable  that  the  major  antagonism and most
violent attacks of the Sect  should  be  directed
against  the  Church . . . Therefore, even at the
cost of  a  lengthy  and  opinionated  labor  the
Sect's   purpose  is  to  reduce  to  naught  the
teaching, and authority of the Church  among  the
civilian population. . .

"The   enmity   of  the  sectarians  against  the
Apostolic See of the Roman Pontiff has  increased
its intensity . . . until now the evil doers have
reached the aim which had, for a long  time  that
of their evil designs, namely, their proclamation
that the moment has come to  suppress  the  Roman
Pontiff's  sacred power and to completely destroy
this Papacy which was divinely instituted."

Lastly,  Leo  XIII  concludes  in  unmasking  the
Satanism of Judeo-Masonry:

"The   facts   which   we   have  reviewed  throw
sufficient  light  upon  inner  constitution   of
Freemasons  and  show  clearly  the road they are
following in order to  reach  their  goal.  Their
chief  dogmas  are  so  completely and manifestly
opposed to sane reason that it  is  difficult  to
imagine  deeper  perversion. In reality is it not
the peak of madness and  of  the  most  audacious
impiety  to  be  so  presumptuous  as  to want to
destroy the religion and the  Church  created  by
God   Himself:   and  assured  of  His  perpetual
protection; and after 18  centuries  to  want  to
replace  it  with the customs and institutions of
pagans?

"Still no less  horrible  nor  easy  to  bear  to
witness  the repudiation of those gifts which, in
His  mercy,  Jesus  Christ  bestowed   first   on
individuals, then to human beings grouped both in
families and in  nations.  Even  the  enemies  of
Christianism  acknowledge  the  supreme  value of
those gifts.

"There is no denying that  in  this  foolish  and
criminal  plan  it  is  easy  to  understand  the
implacable hatred and passion for  revenge  which
animate  Satan  toward Jesus Christ. We refuse to
follow the dictates of  such  iniquitous  masters
that  bear  the  names  of  Satan and of all evil
passions."



+ Pope Benedict XV 1914-1922

War, Armistice, Peace, all took place  under  the
Pontificate  of  Benedict  XV. In connection with
our own viewpoint on Judeo-Masonry, we must point
out  the  Papal  condemnation of Ludovic Keller's
book: "Le Basi Spirituali Della Massone-Ria E  La
Vita   Publica"  (The  spiritual  foundations  of
Masonry and the life of the people) published  in
1915.  That  book was condemned on June 15, 1916.
Moreover, the letter from the Holy Office of  the
Vatican  to  the  Ordinaries  called  upon  their
vigilant  attention  because   of   special   new
machinations  being directed against the Faith by
anti-Catholic   associations.   The   association
particularly  indicated  is  the  Y.M.C.A. (Young
Men's  Christian  Association)  which   on   many
occasions   has   been   singled   out  as  being
fundamentally    Masonic    in     the     "Revue
Internationale Des Societes Secretes." The letter
from  the  Holy  Office  of  November   5,   1920
particularly   mentions  that  according  to  its
declaration of principles, the Y.M.C.A.  "Intends
to  purify and spread a more perfect knowledge of
real life placing itself above all  churches  and
outside   and   religious   jurisdiction."   Such
anticlerical transcendentalism is none other than
the manifestation of Judeo-Masonry.

Furthermore,  on  the  inside  cover of our Revue
Internationale   Des   Societes   Secretes    are
reproduced the two letters addressed to me by the
Holy  See,  which  are  an  affirmation  of   the
viewpoint which Pope Benedict XV held on Masonry,
the   same   viewpoint    carrying    the    same
condemnations    already    pronounced   by   his
predecessors since Pope Clement XII.

The two letters from  the  Vatican  are  herewith
reproduced.

1. From Pope Benedict XV to Monseigneur Jouin:

"Beloved  Son-Greetings  and  Apostolic Blessing.
The eminent virtues which, in the course of  your
long  sacerdotal career, you have shown with such
resplendent light added to the high consideration
in  which  you are held by Our Venerable Brother,
Jauvier Granito di Belmonte, Cardinal of the Holy
Roman  Church,  Bishop  of Albano, as also by the
Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, have  prompted  Our
decision to honor you with a great homage.

"We  do  know that you fulfill the obligations of
your  sacred  ministry  in  the  most   exemplary
manner;  that you have the most ardent solicitude
for the eternal salvation  of  the  faithful  and
that  with  constancy and courage you have upheld
the rights of the Catholic  Church  --  and  have
done  so  even at the peril of your own life. You
have worked against the enemies of  religion  and
We  know that you spare neither work nor expenses
to spread among the people your  great  works  on
those questions . . ."

2.  From  His  Eminence  Cardinal Gasparri (State
Secretary of His Holiness) to  Monseigneur  Jouin
on June 20, 1919.

"The   Sovereign   Pontiff   with   his  paternal
benevolence has accepted the homage of  your  new
study  on  'La  guerre  Maconnique'  (The Masonic
War).

"It is with unerring judgment that  in  the  work
which you have undertaken, you have endeavored to
project light,  by  means  of  documentation  and
irrefutable    proofs,   upon   the   inept   and
essentially     anti-Catholic     doctrine     of
Freemasonry, a doctrine issued from deism born of
the Reformation, a doctrine which, as it is today
clearly evident, leads fatally to the very denial
of  God,  to  social  atheism,   to   irreligious
teaching  and  impiety and is greatly detrimental
to  nations;  it  aims  at  removing  from  every
association  every  trace  of  religion and every
church mediation.

"Above all, in spite of all lies which oftentimes
deceive   the   Catholics  themselves,  you  have
carefully and most particularly clearly shown the
identity  of  Freemasonry  evident everywhere and
always, and the continuity of the  plans  set  by
the   Sects   and  whose  master  design  is  the
destruction of the Catholic Church.

"His Holiness takes  pleasure  in  congratulating
you  and  encouraging  your  work whose influence
can, indeed, be so fruitful. It  can  induce  the
faithful  to  be  vigilant and help them to fight
efficaciously against everything tending  to  the
destruction  of  the  social  order as well as of
religion.

"As evidence of the celestial gifts bestowed upon
you   and   as   a   testimony  of  his  paternal
benevolence, the  Holy  Father,  from  his  heart
bestows upon you the Apostolic Blessing.

"Thanking,  you  also  for  the copy of your book
which  you  graciously  sent  me,  and  with   my
personal  congratulations, I pray you to believe,
Monseigneur, in  the  assurance  of  my  complete
devotion.



+ Pope Pius X 1903-1914

Pope St. Pius X 1903-1914

Pope Pius X, successor of Pope Leo XIII, gave his
greater attention to Sillonisme and to Modernism,
but,   nevertheless   he   did   not  forget  the
destructive work of Freemasonry. He requested the
Polish   people   to  abstain  from  joining  any
conspiracy schemed by the malevolent Sects.

Later he extended words  of  consolation  to  the
faithful of France in the following words:

"And  now it is to you, Catholics of France, that
We speak; may Our words reach you as a  testimony
of  the  tender  feeling  of  Our  love  for your
country and as a consolation in the midst of  the
terrible  calamities through which you must pass.
You are well aware of the  self-assigned  aim  of
the  impious  sectarians  who hare subjugated you
under  their  yoke.  With  cynic  audacity   they
themselves proclaimed their aim which was 'Uproot
Catholicism in France.' They  want  to  extirpate
from your hearts, namely its last root, the Faith
which covered  your  ancestors  with  glory;  the
Faith  which  brought prosperity and greatness to
your Fatherland amidst  all  other  nations;  the
Faith  which will be your support in the hours of
your tribulation, which maintains calm and  peace
in  your  homes  and opens for you the way toward
eternal happiness. It is  this  Faith  which  you
yourselves feel has to be defended."

Lastly,  Pius  X  loudly  affirms  that as he has
lifted his voice:

"It is  not  the  Church  who  first  raised  the
standard,  she  did  so only because war had been
declared against her. For the last 25  years  she
has  only  had  to bear the struggle. Such is the
Truth. Declarations, a thousand  times  published
and  republished  in the Press, in congresses, in
Masonic  conventions,  in  the  very   halls   of
Parliament,  are proof in themselves that attacks
against the Church have  been  led  progressively
and  systematically.  Such facts cannot be denied
and against them mere words cannot prevail . . ."
(From letter of Pope Pius X to France, January 6,
1907.)

Fundamentally just as did his predecessors,  Pius
X  denounces the maneuvers of the Counter-Church,
moreover in his Letter  of  condemnation  of  the
SILLON,  he  deliberately  designates the Masonic
lodges in the following terms:

"We all but too well know the  dens  of  darkness
wherein those pernicious doctrines are elaborated
. . . Clear minds should not be seduced by them."
(From  letter  of Pius X to the French Episcopate
August 25, 1910.)



+ Pope Pius XI 1922

For  the  first  time  the  word "Laicism" (which
means irreligious teaching) is to be found  in  a
Pontifical  document;  it is the fatal and sought
for result of both the Masonic doctrine  and  its
direct  action. This fact allows me to add to the
list of all the Sovereign Pontiffs who  denounced
and  condemned  Judeo-Masonry;  the  name  of our
present Pope, Pius XI, in his Encyclical "Maximam
grasissimamque"  of  July 18, 1924, the Pope most
clearly has lifted his  voice  against  "Laicism"
(irreligious teaching) in the following terms:

"Whatetier   Pius  X  did  condemn,  We  likewise
condemn it. Every time that  the  word  'Laicite'
(irreligious   teaching)  is  used  to  convey  a
feeling or an intention contrary  or  foreign  to
God  or religion, We condemn it. We fully reprove
this 'Laicism' and We openly declare that it must
be reproved."

In my own case, during the private audience which
on  November  16,  1923,  he  granted   me,   His
Holiness,  Pius XI, asked me to continue my fight
against Freemasonry because, said he:

"Masonry is our mortal enemy."

Later, as  I  was  recollecting  the  kind  words
addressed to me by Pope Benedict XV in the decree
"Proestantes":

"With constancy and courage you have  upheld  the
rights  of  the  Catholic Church and have done so
even at the peril of your life." and adding  that
so  far  I  had  not  yet  become  the  victim of
Freemasons, His Holiness replied  in  a  paternal
manner:

"Did  not  Saint  Augustine, who is the patron of
your parish in Paris, speak of the martyrs of the
pen?  (The  Parish of which Monseigneur Jouin was
head for many  years  and  until  his  death  was
called Saint Augustine.)

Such  a  denunciation of "Laicism" as well as the
encouragement given  me  to  continue  the  fight
against    Masonry    confirm    the   Pontifical
condemnations pronounced since Pope Clement  XII;
it  also  follows  the inspired words of Pope Leo
XIII:

"In the realm of spiritual salvation, there is no
middle  way:  one  either  follows  the  road  to
perdition or else fights  without  limit  to  the
very end."

Therefore,  our  conclusion  is contained in just
two words: unity of  purpose  and  viewpoint  and
unity  of  action shown by the Sovereign Pontiffs
in regard to Freemasonry. Fifteen years after the
publication  of  the Constitutions of Anderson in
1723,  there  appeared   the   constitution   "In
Eminenti"  of Pope Clement XII April 28, 1738. Is
there in the history of the Church a heresy which
met  with such a swift condemnation? Another fact
equally remarkable is that all  the  Popes  based
their  ulterior  condemnations on this Pontifical
act of Clement XII showing clearly that there was
but one Voice, but one cry of disapproval when it
came to pronounce  the  anathema  against  Secret
Societies  and  striking  their  members with the
most rigorous censure which the Church can apply.

Even though incomplete, here follows  a  list  of
documents as proof of the above:

  * Clement XII: In Eminenti -- April 28, 1738
  * Benedict XIV: Providas -- March 16, 1751
  * Clement XIII: A. Quodie -- Sept. 14, 1758
  * Clement XIII: Ut Primum -- Sept. 3, 1759
  * Clement XIII: Christianae Reipublicae Salus
    -- Nov. 25, 1766
  * Pius VI: Inscrutabile -- Dec. 25, 1775
  * Pius VII: Ecclesiam a Jesu Christo -- Sept.
    14, 1820
  * Leo XII: Quo Graviora -- March 13, 1826
  * Pius VII: Traditi -- May 21, 1829
  * Gregory XVI: Mirari Vos -- Aug. 15, 1832
  * Pius IX: Qui Pluribus -- Nov 9, 1846
  * Pius IX: Omnibus Quantisque -- April 20,
    1849
  * Pius IX: Multiplices Inter -- Sept 25,
    1865
  * Leo XIII: Humanum Genus -- April 20, 1884
  * Leo XIII: Letter to Italian Episcopate --
    Dec. 8, 1892
  * Leo XIII: Letter to the Italian People --
    Dec. 8, 1892
  * Pius X: Vehementer -- Feb 11, 1906
  * Pius X: Letter to France -- Jan 6, 1907

Add to this the condemnation of the  Y.M.C.A.  by
the Holy Office, Nov. 5, 1920 and also the decree
through which I was made  a  Prelate,  signed  by
Pope  Benedict  XV,  followed  by  the  Letter of
Cardinal  Gasparri,  praising  my  book:   Guerre
Maconnique (Masonic War). Then again remember the
Encyclical  of  His  Holiness  Pius  XI   against
irreligious   teaching   in   schools   and   his
encouragement    to    me    to    continue    my
anti-Judeo-Masonic  fight, and you will thus have
before you a chain whose  links  are  inseparably
united.

It is this unity of viewpoints which demonstrates
that the Papacy has but  one  voice  and  is  the
judiciary power of those Societies which actually
form the whole of Judeo-Masonry.

As to the unity of action of  the  Popes,  it  is
also worthy of attention. Ever since 1738 all the
Sovereign Pontiffs  have  denounced,  stigmatized
and  condemned  the  great  harlot  of  the  20th
century, that "Well  of  Perdition,"  "Bottomless
Abyss of Misery which was dug by those conspiring
Societies in which the Heresies and  Sects  have,
it may be said, vomited as in a privy, everything
they held  in  their  insides  of  Sacrilige  and
Blasphemy." (Leo XIII.)

Ever   since  1738  all  the  Sovereign  Pontiffs
denounced, stigmatized and condemned the enemy of
the  State  which,  according  to  Pope Leo XIII,
already during  the  past  century,  possessed  a
power  almost  equivalent  to  "Sovereignty"  and
which, toady, calls itself the Super-State.

Ever  since  1738  all  the  Sovereign   Pontiffs
denounced, stigmatized and condemned the enemy of
the Church, the Counter-Church, whose  proclaimed
aim is to:

"Decatholicize the world"

It seeks to rebuild on the ashes of the Christian
civilization the pagan barbarism, and to build on
the  ruins  of the Papacy the world domination of
Israel; furthermore, as a sign of its victory, it
wants  to  erect  over  the  overthrown throne of
Jesus Christ the very throne of Satan.

Ever  since  1738  all  the  Sovereign   Pontiffs
denounced,  stigmatized  and  condemned  what has
hitherto   become   the   world   evolution    of
Judeo-Masonry  which,  now, on earth, admits that
it has but one adversary,  namely,  the  Catholic
Church, whose agony it is now witnessing.

However,    the   Popes   equally   deplore   the
indifference of those Catholics who fail  to  see
Their   silent  tears  and  fail  to  heed  Their
heart-rending appeals; they constitute a race  of
people  indifferent  and asleep, a string of Mute
Hounds, afraid, of whom Pope Clement XIII, said:

"If We  allow  ourselves  to  be  shaken  by  the
audacity   of   evil-doers,  then  the  Episcopal
strength is come  to  an  end;  the  sublime  and
divine  authority of the Church no longer exists;
it is then useless  to  look  upon  ourselves  as
Christians  if  we have sunk so low as to tremble
before  the  threats  of  the   snares   of   the
evil-doers."

Being  anxious  to  be  neither  indifferent  nor
asleep, nor again a  Mute  Hound  in  the  Church
Militant,  but to be on the contrary, even though
from afar, linked to the dogs of  the  Lord,  the
"Dominicani"  of  whom  in the 13th century spoke
Jeanne d'Aza, mother of Saint Dominique,  at  the
time   of   the   Church   struggle  against  the
Albigenses; in order also not to be counted among
the  cowards  who  flee  from the battlefield and
whom, when in 1870  the  Germans  invaded  France
Saint  Bernadette  said:  "I  fear  only  the bad
Christians" for such reasons I founded the "Revue
Internationale  Des  Societes Secretes." I, today
also want to thank all the companions who in this
struggle,  both in work and in prayer have allied
themselves  with  my   humble   but   persevering
efforts.

Yes!  let  us of the league of St. Michael remain
united in prayer for the conversion of Masons and
Jews.  Let us be united in our efforts to respond
to  the  concordant  voice   of   the   Sovereign
Pontiffs,  in  order to destroy, inasmuch as lies
in our  possibilities,  the  Judeo-Masonic  Sect.
When  will this be? In God's own hour which seems
to be very close. What can be done  against  this
world power? Everything!

In  the strength of Him who bears on His shoulder
the  invincible  sign  of  His  power;   we   can
accomplish  everything  in  the  power of Him who
Christianized the world and which,  in  the  end,
Judeo-Masonry,  can  neither  de-Christianize nor
re-Paganize -- Yes! we can accomplish  everything
in  the  strength  of Him whose Holy Sepulchre or
the  dome  of  Saint  Peter  in  Rome  cannot  be
darkened  by  the  shadows  cast  by  the Masonic
Lodges  --  the  Kabbalistic  mysteries  of   the
Ghettos  will  not  alter  a  single  iota of the
Gospel or of the Credo; the accumulation of  gold
in  the  hands  of high finance will ever fail to
buy the conscience of Christ's representative  in
the Vatican.

Vade  Satana!  Get  thee behind me Satan with thy
legions of  rebellious  angels,  with  thy  early
workers of iniquity the Judeo-Masons!

Christ is near! To-day He comes! Tomorrow He will
be here!

Let us therefore say, according to the  words  of
Saint  Augustine:  Dicamus In Fide, let us say in
the full energy of our faith; Dicamus In Spe: let
us  say  in  the  strength  of  our hope; Dicamus
Flagfantissima  Caritate:  Let  us  say  in   the
burning fervor of our charity:

If  God  is  with us, who can prevail against us?
(Si Deus Pro Nobis, Quis Contra Nos?)

God is with us in this fight, which is our fight,
the fight of the Papacy against Judeo-Masonry.
