Date Posted: 04:46:20 04/14/02 Sun The secret papers of the Alta Vendita that fell into the hands of Pope Gregory XVI embrace a period that goes from 1820 to 1846. They were published at the request of Pope Pius IX by Cretineau-Joly in his work 'The Roman Church and Revolution.' With the brief of approbation of February 25, 1861, which he addressed to the author, Pope Pius IX guaranteed the authenticity of these documents, but he did not allow anyone to divulge the true members of the Alta Vendita implicated in the correspondence. The full text of the permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita is also contained in Msgr. George E. Dillon's book, 'Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked.' When Pope Leo XIII was presented with a copy of Msgr. Dillon's book, he was so impressed that he ordered an Italian version to be completed and published at his own expense. In the Encyclical Humanum Genus (1884), Leo XIII called upon Catholic leaders to "tear off the mask from Freemasonry and make plain to all what it really is." The publication of these documents is a means of "tearing off the mask." And if the Popes asked that these letters be published, it is because they wanted all Catholics to know the secret societies' plans to subvert the Church from within - so that Catholics would be on their guard and, hopefully, prevent such a catastrophe from taking place. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.caughey [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
