Appendix
[This is the continuation of The Underground
Church - Part Two
and Part One]
History
Having come this far, and followed
all these dramatic events, the reader may have the perception that
there are two dissimilar churches here: the official, post-conciliar
Newchurch in Rome, and the underground Church in Antioch - known to but a
very few acolytes. Yet the final question may still arise: What had really
happened since the death of Pope Pius XII up to now? Put another way, what
were the unfolding events that paved the way for what appears to be the
Catholic Church in Rome to appear to change her traditional Catholic status
to the counterfeit Newchurch in Rome?
Our main character Guido’s own notes, and from his
correspondence with his sister Agnese help to answer that question. During
that period, there are seven recognizable important stages:
1.
The Church’s infiltration by Talmudic-Masonic-Communist
agents;
2.
The Masonic-Communist-liberal [Modernist] influence among the
Vatican Hierarchy;
3.
Vatican II;
4.
Disciplinary, moral, theological and liturgical changes within
the church following Vatican II;
5.
The election of crypto-jew
Karol Józef Wojtyła as
Pope John Paul II;
6.
Establishment of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and
Israel in 1992;
7.
The apostasy of Catholic hierarchy is a
fait accompli. The Vatican relinquishes
its supremacy to the Satanic Pharisee-rabbinic-synagogue.
Stage one:
The Church’s
infiltration
by Talmudic-Masonic-Communist agents
o Following the events of
the Russian Revolution, February 1917, a new era of
political instability, terror, ruin, and social moral decline began, with
the evil philosophy – Communism - spreading over the entire globe.
o
In the same year (May 13, 1917) our
Lady, the Immaculate Mary, appeared in Fatima -
notwithstanding the first apparitions in 1916
- to three children, Lucia dos Santos, and her two
cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto. Mary told her, "The moment has come
in which God asks the Holy Father in union with all the bishops of the world
to make the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, promising
to save it by this means."
o In 1948: the
unilateral declaration - without a constitution
- of the state of Israel in Palestine.
o In October 1958, the
last of the traditional popes, Pope Pius XII, died. It has been
revealed by reputable sources
that, even before the death of Pius XII, the Catholic Church had been
infiltrated by Communist elements. Therefore, assuming - as the author does
in the present writing - that during 1958 conclave, when Joseph Cardinal
Siri of Genoa was chosen as the successor for the throne of Peter, taking
the name of Gregory XVII, a miscarriage occurred, due to those
Masonic-communist infiltrations.
o Some Cardinals with
Communist leanings, such as Eugene Tisserant,
Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals, and Cardinals Agostino Casaroli;
Augustin Bea,
Achille Lienart and Archbishop Annibale Bugnini,
were all members of the Masonic lodge.
Stage two: The Masonic-Communist-liberal [Modernist]
influence among the Vatican Hierarchy
o Once Angelo Cardinal
Roncalli, himself a member of the Masonic lodge,[12]
was elected Pope John XXIII, the traditional Catholic stance in regard to
the “Jews” remarkable turn.[13]
It has been purported that meddling by the Jewish-Masonic B'nai B'rith[14]
in Vatican religious affairs, was already well established by this time.
o
The Smoke of Satan -
In a homily on June
29 1972, Pope Paul VI
(Giovanni
Battista Montini)
said:
We believed that after
the Council would come a day of sunshine in the history of the Church. But
instead there has come a day of clouds and storms, and of darkness ... And
how did this come about? We will confide to you the thought that may be, we
ourselves admit in free discussion, that may be unfounded, and that is that
there has been a power, an adversary power. Let us call him by his name: the
devil.
He refers to
satanic infiltration of the Church in a later sentence:
It is as if from some
mysterious crack, no, it is not mysterious, from some crack the smoke of
satan has entered the temple of God.
o
The late Jesuit
author, exorcist,
scholar and Vatican insider,
Malachi Martin
[a crypto-Jew himself]
said that there are satanists in Rome and anybody who is acquainted with the
state of affairs in the Vatican in the last 35 years is well aware that the
prince of darkness has his surrogates in the court of St. Peter in Rome.
Stage Three:
Vatican II,
springboard for the apostasy of Catholic Hierarchy.
o For the Catholic Church, the
Second Vatican Council (1962 – 1965) began a new era. Among the several
conciliar documents drafted by the 2540 bishops (and of course their periti,
theologian experts), three in particular were prominent: Unitatis
Redintegratio (Decree on Ecumenism);
The Church in itself in relation to other religions,
and in relation to the modern world, renewal, liturgy, etc.; Dignitatis
Humanae, (Declaration on Religious
Liberty); and Nostra Aetate (Declaration on the Relation of
the Church to Non-Christian Religions).
o With the Decree on
Ecumenism, the church paved the way to the pan-religion
and allowed the New Age movement to flourish.
o With the Declaration On
Religion Liberty, the church put herself on the same level as other
religions in the world.
o Nostra Aetate opened
the door to the traditional foes of the Catholic Church - the Talmudic
synagogue - and to the takeover of Vatican by the enemy was almost
completed. Thus Nostra Aetate became coup d’etat-e [pun
intended].
Stage Four: Disciplinary, moral, theological, and
liturgical changes within the church following Vatican II.
o After Vatican II ended in
1965, countless changes took place. In 1983, a new Canon Law
replaced the 1917-1918 one.[20]
Latin, the traditional ecclesiastic language was replaced by the
vernacular. Liturgy, the hub of Catholic life, was changed almost
entirely in order to please the many Protestant denominations. The Holy
Mass became a banquet rather than the renewal of the sacrifice on the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The churches’ interiors were stripped of
rails, pews, statues; a wooden table replaced the stone/marble altar, and
the Tabernacle was moved from the centre of sanctuary to a side
chapel, sometimes out of sight.
Stage five: The election of
crypto-Jew Karol
Józef Wojtyła as
Pope John Paul II
Paul VI's
visit to the
United Nations
in October 4, 1965.
After the death of Pope Paul VI and of (the probably murdered) John Paul I,
the Polish
Karol Józef
Wojtyła,
a crypto-Jew,
was elected, choosing the name, John Paul II.
o
Like his predecessor Pope Paul VI, Wojtyla's
communistic leanings are there for everyone to see. In an article “John
Paul’s Debt to Marxism”,
The Tablet, January 14, 2006, two authors from Warsaw expose an
unpublished collection of lectures by Fr. Karol Wojtyla - a two-volume work
titled Catholic Social Ethics - in which he defends important theses
of Marx and adapts them to his "Catholic ethics."
[23]
o Step by step, on
Declaration of Resistance to the Vatican Ostpolitik.[24]
o
As did Pope Paul VI before, setting the blueprint, JPII followed suit. JPII followed the
blueprint set by Pope Paul VI.
oSome
examples of the Vatican Ostpolitik: In January 1967
Paul VI received the chairman of the
USSR Supreme Soviet, Nicholas
Podgorny.
o
One of the episodes, in the policy of détente toward communist
regimes that the Vatican has carried out, was the trip to
Russia in 1971 by Cardinal Willebrands,
President of the Secretariat for Christian Unity.
o
Tito, the communist dictator of Yugoslavia, was cordially received by Paul
VI in March 1971 at the Vatican.
o The head of the Brazilian
Conference of Bishops, Jayme Chemello, triumphantly received the
Marxist President Lula at a general meeting of the organization - Diario
do Sao Paulo, May 2, 2003.
o
The general conduct of Cardinal Silva
Henriquez, Archbishop of Santiago, constituted another step in the
détente with communist governments promoted by Vatican diplomacy …. the Cardinal used all the weight of his authority and
influence to help Allende ascend to power, be triumphantly installed, and
maintained in the presidency up to the moment when this atheist leader
committed suicide.
o
Secretary of the Vatican’s Council for Public Affairs,
Archbishop
Casaroli’s visit to Cuba ended as propaganda for Fidel Castro’s Cuba. The Prelate
himself expounded them in an interview to
São Paulo daily newspaper (O Estado de
São Paulo, April 7, 1974), in which he stated, “Catholics who live in
Cuba are happy under the socialist regime.”
o John Paul II received
the B'nai B'rith(Jewish Freemasons), in Vatican City. He
said in his March 22, 1984, Allocution to the B'nai B'rith,
". . . the encounter between Catholics and Jews is
not one between two ancient religions that each go their own way . . . It is
a meeting between "brothers, . . ."
o John Paul II
stabilizing Communism in Poland – 1987.[26]
Jaruzelski, head of the Communist regime, in order to help stabilize the
chaotic situation in Poland, went to the Vatican to speak with JPII. Later
that year, the Polish Primate, Cardinal Josef Glemp, would lend his support
to the regime. The Episcopate issued a Pastoral Letter pacifying the general
discontent and advising Catholics to trust the (Communist) regime. John Paul
endorsed that document.
oThe Kremlin-Vatican
negotiations.[27]
A ‘secret’ meeting of Cardinal Tisserant
with archbishop Nikodin occurred at the residence of Fr. Lagarde, in Borny
[on the outskirts of Metz]. ... After this meeting, the conditions for the
presence of the Russian church’s observers were established by Cardinal
Willebrands, an assistant of Cardinal Bea. Archbishop Nikodin agreed that an
official invitation should be sent to Moscow, with the guarantee of the
apolitical character of the Council.
o
With the fall of Berlin Wall
(1990), it was also the
end of the Cold
War – the
switch of Communism from East to West.
o John Paul II gave
moral support to Gorbachev when he was on the point of falling from
power.
o John Paul II visited
Cuba in 1998 to pressure the West to lift the embargo from the
island. No advantage for Cuban Catholics came from this visit.
o John Paul II posed
under a billboard of the communist leaders, Sandino and Carlos
Fonseca, a bold endorsement of the Sandinist revolution - Inside the
Vatican, September 2003.
o In
March 20, 2005, for the first time in History, John Paul II met a
representative of the Soviet Union – Ostpolitik.[28]
Stage six: Establishment
of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Israel in 1992
– Thanks to Nostra Aetate
In 1992: the Vatican and Israel -
Diplomatic Relations, Recognition & Reparations.
o Although the Vatican
evidently moved to improve relations with Jews in 1965 - faithfully
following the declaration,
Nostra Aetate,
it did not formally recognize Israel until 1993.
o
By 2004, during the reign of John Paul II,
full relations between Israel and Vatican were accomplished. Following
this, a new perception of the so-called holocaust came about –
the Shoah
replaced the Christian symbol of the Cross in the minds of many.
With the recognition of the state of Israel, the Vatican capitulated
to the Shoah, as the supreme human sacrifice.
o B’nai B’rith & ADL and
the Vatican
In the General Audience of January 14, 1998 John Paul
II said:
I
welcome the members of the B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation League, and I
express the hope that your visit will help to strengthen the co-operation of
recent years.
o
John Paul II in 2000 visited the 'wailing wall’; the
only wall remaining from 70AD when the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem's
last standing Temple.
Stage Seven: The
apostasy of Catholic Hierarchy is a fait
accompli.
o The Vatican
relinquished its supremacy to the Satanic
Pharisee-rabbinic-synagogue.
o Opus Dei and the
synagogue of Satan, what do they have in common?
Rabbi Angel Kreiman contended that Josemaria Escriva's
teachings are strongly rooted in Talmudic traditions about work.
Kreiman, international vice president of the World Council of Synagogues...
who is a Cooperator of Opus Dei, said he wanted to demonstrate
his special affection for the organization founded by Josemaria Escriva.
"Opus Dei members helped me, right from the beginning of my
seminary studies, to persevere in my vocation," he [Kreiman] said, "and I
have also seen them do it with other rabbis, for which I am deeply
grateful.".
o On December 1, 2003, John
Paul II accepted a menorah presented by Rabbi Marvin Hier as a reward for
his "lifelong friendship" with the Jewish religion, a practical denial of
two thousand years of Catholic teaching about the perfidy of the Jewish
religion.
o John Paul II ordered a
special cope to wear for the opening of the millennium ceremony at St.
Peter's Basilica. The colors of the vestment were chosen to "represent the
Temple of Jerusalem,"
according to Vatican sources. Yet another symbolic concession to Judaism by
a conciliar Pope. January, 2000.
o On March 24, 2000, during a
Mass said for youth at Korazin, the site where Our Lord delivered the Sermon
of the Mount, John Paul II chose to sit on a throne with an inverted cross
on its back.
o B.C. and A.D. versus
B.C.E. and C.E. In what could be seen as their greatest victory to
date, politically correct campaigners have succeeded in getting
schools to scrap the Christian calendar.
The most revealing evidence can be found on a strictly
Jewish web site designed by an Observant Jew. The web site contains
everything of the basics of Judaism. One of the pages entitled, "Glossary of
Jewish Terminology" states that, "Following is a partial list of Hebrew and
Yiddish terms used on this web site". Among this list of HEBREW and YIDDISH
terms can be found the abbreviations C.E. and B.C.E. even though they are
abbreviations of English words! It is listed there as:
C.E.- Common (or Christian) Era. Used instead of A.D., because A.D.
means "the Year of our L-rd," and we do not believe that Christ is our
L-rd.
They are now using the Jewish B.C.E. and C.E. instead
of the Christian B.C. and A.D. It has happened several times, and by
different writers. This is anti-Christian, anti-Catholic, and anti-Christ.
o
John Paul II visited the
synagogue of Rome on April 13, 1986 clearly breaking the tradition of the
Holy Church on treatment toward the Jewish religion. The Pontiff himself
said it when he declared that 'following the pontificate of John XXIII and
Vatican Council II, this meeting – upon which we must not stop
reflecting so that it may provide us with opportune teachings – brings to
an end, in some way, a long period.’
o Inside the synagogue,
John Paul II bows his head to hear the words of Rabbi Toaff - Le
Monde des Religions, November-December 2005.
o 2009: Following the
case of Bishop Williamson, it became obvious that the Vatican
no longer regards the cross, as the supreme sacrifice of our Lord Jesus
Christ; the Shoah today has taken its place. Nowadays, anyone who “denies
the holocaust,” is not only a criminal, but outright excommunicated.
A statement issued by the Vatican on
February 5, 2009 said Bishop Williamson's
positions on the Holocaust were "absolutely unacceptable and firmly rejected
by the Holy Father.”
"Bishop Williamson, in order to be admitted to the
Episcopal functions of the Church, must in an absolutely unequivocal and
public way distance himself from his positions regarding the Shoah."
o Hence,
the third secret of Fatima came to fruition - out in the open.
"The devil has
succeeded in bringing in evil (to the Church) under the guise of good and
the blind are beginning to lead others."
o In the conclusion to his
study of the Third Secret, Frère Michel sums up his findings:
"Having reached the end of our inquiry, we are able to
discern, with near certainty, the essential elements of Our Lady’s final
secret: While ‘in Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be
preserved,’ in many nations, perhaps in almost the entire world, the Faith
will be lost. The pastors of the Church will fail gravely in the duties of
their office. Through their fault, consecrated souls and the Faithful in
great number will let themselves be seduced by pernicious errors spread
everywhere. This will be the time of the decisive battle between the Blessed
Virgin and the devil. A wave of diabolical disorientation will be hurled
over the world. Satan will introduce himself even to the highest summit of
the Church. He will blind the minds and harden the hearts of pastors. And
God will deliver them to themselves as a chastisement for their refusal to
obey the requests of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This will be the great
apostasy predicted for the ‘last times’; ‘the False Lamb’ and ‘False
Prophet’ will betray the Church to the profit of ‘the Beast,’ according to
the prophecy of the Apocalypse."
And finally, as Tel Aviv, Israel - the beast of
Apocalypse - reaches its zenith, the Catholic Church reaches her nadir,
underground.

"Siri's"
Prison
"Following the 1978 Conclave, Cardinal Siri was
escorted back to his familiar exile in Genoa where he resumed his long,
agonizing captivity. Siri's episcopal quarters had become an impenetrable
prison where his every move was controlled by his captors who posed to the
outside world as trusted members of the Cardinal's household. The hidden
pope-elect, languishing in a helpless and lonely confinement, would live to
witness the savage demolition of his Church for over a quarter of a century.
Only toward the end of Siri's lengthy ordeal would the facts begin to be
uncovered concerning the illegal intervention from outside the conclave
which had been directed against the pope-elect in 1978 as it had been done
to him before in the earlier and more significant 1963 papal election." (and

"In
their Messianic materialism, the directors of
Judaism
dream of an implementation of world government wherein they are the masters
and we are the slaves. They recognize that the insurmountable wall that lies
in the path of this program of conquest is the religious wall...in
particular, the wall of the Catholic Church. By experience, they know that
slander, prisons, even death, does not crush the faith... it only enlivens
it. They know very well that in order to destroy the Church of Jesus Christ
they have only one road left... INFILTRATION.
Thus, the case of Anacletus II is repeating itself; the infiltrators,
denounced by Pius X, have invaded the hierarchy and have even captured the
Chair of Peter." (Fr. Joaquin Saenz Y Arriaga,
PHD., The New Montinian Church, 1971 A.D.)

"The Phenomenon of Jewish Infiltration into The
Clergy"
Excerpts from Maurice Pinay, 1962: The Plot against
the Church.
"The phenomenon of Jewish infiltration into the clergy
has existed as proven since the beginnings of Christianity and was
constantly one of the main dangers which Holy Church, not only in the one or
other land, but in the entire Christian world, saw facing it." ...
"Through this Christianity was to be destroyed, and
simultaneously in secret other sects were founded, which wished to master
all Europe, abolish the existing order and destroy Holy Church. Jewry thus
restricted itself not only to organising one sect, one revolutionary
movement, but caused secretly several, differing from one another, to arise.
The ideologies and principles were different and suited to satisfy the taste
of all. If one did not agree with the programme, the dogmas or the
confessions of faith of one sect, then perhaps the others would convince
him. And if one sect failed, another would triumph.
At all events they supported each other mutually in
secret, even if also following apparently opposing and. incompatible
programmes. Thus Jewry began to apply another of its tactics: not to trust
to the victory of one single organisation, but to found many organisations
with different and even contrasting ideologies, which did justice to the
most diverse wishes and opinions. The Jews do the same today. They found
Christian-democratic parties, extreme Right parties — without the name
playing a role —, Centre parties, socialist, anarchistic and Communist
parties, as well as Freemasonic, Theosophical and Spiritualist organisations,
Rotary Clubs, Boy Scouts Organizations and many others. It would require too
much space to mention all those which — as well-known writers have proved —
are controlled by international Jewry. Thus the Synagogue can control men of
the most different tendencies and ideologies, watch over Christian and
gentile peoples and drive onward their plans for world rule.
...The Jewish-Spanish Encyclopaedia mentions the
attitude of the Church to the mediaeval heresies and confirms the assertions
of priests and writers of most different epochs, who made the assurance that
“the Jews were the fathers of the heresies.” Then it is stated expressly:
“In the same way as the Inquisition, it accused the
Jews of having instigated the mediaeval heresies, and all heterodox
movements were for the Church the result of a Jewish conspiracy, and the
instigators and leaders Jews.”274 It is clear that neither Holy Church nor
the Inquisition lied. In addition they had sufficient proofs to base their
assertions upon."

requested at Fatima, 17/3/2009 -

The Message of Fatima: a heavenly sign marking the
beginning of the end times and a prediction of apostasy from the Church
- http://www.mostholyfamilymonastery.com/our_lady_of_fatima.php
The Third Fatima Vision secret covers three
secrets parts:
The first “Secret” was the physical punishments to the
nations involving catastrophes, natural and man-made on the earth, the seas
and in the atmosphere.
The second “Secret” was the spiritual punishments to
the Roman Catholic Church which would come as a disappearance of religious
belief, revolt and unfaithfulness in the bishopric around the world in which
Russia was the key to unlocking that timetable. Yet these did not have to
be.
The Third Secret of Fatima after to be revealed before
1960 ...
By then the bishops of Europe, Canada and Latin America
were in full revolt breaking down the traditional liturgy and fundamental
beliefs of Catholicism; moral reforms by homosexual clerics and nuns sought
the Catholic’s blessing while contraception, abortion and divorce was
promoted around the globe. Also the rise of the “Superforce” within the
Vatican became entrenched in the Vatican by 1963 beginning in the reign of
Pope Paul VI. It was Paul VI who referred this “superforce” as “the
smoke of Satan which has entered the Sanctuary” which spoke of the
enthronement of the Satanism in the halls of the Vatican, including the
cultic rites and practices of Satanic pedophilia whose destructive wasteland
was uncovered in the late 90’s and early 2000’s -
http://www.biblesearchers.com/christian/vatican/prophecy.shtml
The Third Secret is meant for our time. Our Lady
revealed to Sister Lucy that She wanted it revealed to the Catholic
Faithful by 1960. Father Alonso the Archivist of Fatima tells us that the
Third Secret also refers to the guilt of the upper hierarchy of the Church
for the present day Apostasy going on. Frere Michel further
comments on the Third Secret and the Pope. His article
"Dramatic Predictions About the Pope" is found at
http://www.fatima.org/crusader/cr29/cr29pg22.asp
And what is your assessment of all this?
CARDINAL ODDI: This: that I would not be
surprised if the Third Secret alluded to dark times for the Church:
grave confusions and troubling apostasies within Catholicism itself ... If
we consider the grave crisis we have lived through since the Council, the
signs that this prophecy has been fulfilled do not seem to be lacking ...

Israel, We Bless Thee
- http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/israel-we-bless-thee/
Is Israel Sovereign?
There are two parameters that allow recognizing the
existence of sovereignty: internal and external.
Internal sovereignty refers to the relations between
the sovereign and its own subjects; it deals with the question: by what
right does the sovereign exercise authority over its subjects? In the past,
the most common answer was by divine right, nowadays a social contract (like
a Constitution) is the norm.
In modern states – those defined by popularly invested
sovereignty – the acquisition of sovereignty by the state is defined by a
social contract, often based on a single document – called constitution –
which is ratified by the people and later expanded into laws by a
legislative body. This is the case with countries defined as democracies;
the UK doesn’t have a constitution but it did replace it with a legal
tradition spanning many centuries.
Thus, the people are the source of all political power.
Benjamin Franklin expressed the concept when he wrote, "In free governments
the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns."
Thomas Jefferson – in a similar statement – said in 1799: “The whole body of
the nation is the sovereign legislative, judiciary, and executive power for
itself” (both quotations from
http://etext.virginia.edu/jefferson/quotations/jeff0300.htm)
Did the State of Israel Sign a Social Contract with
Its Subjects?
On May 15, 1948, Israel’s Declaration of Independence
was issued by a small group of people – lead by David Ben-Gurion – who did
not get popular consent for that. The declaration was never ratified by
popular vote, though it was recognized by several other states.
The new state
never issued a social contract. Israel has no constitution, and thus never
ratified one. That means the State of Israel never got its people’s consent
to be a sovereign entity – in other words, a state. The recent Base Laws
legislated by the Knesset – the Israeli Parliament – are a fig leaf.
