Date Posted: 07:31:42 04/23/02 Tue Freemasons rejoice that Catholics have finally "seen the light", since it appears that many of their Masonic principles have been sanctioned by the Church. Yves Marsaudon of the Scottish Rite, in his book 'Ecumenism Viewed by a Traditional Freemason,' praised the ecumenism nurtured at Vatican II. He said: "Catholics ... must not forget that all roads lead to God. And they will have to accept that this courageous idea of free thinking, which we can really call a revolution, pouring forth from our Masonic lodges, has spread magnificently over the dome of St. Peter's." The post-Vatican II spirit of doubt and revolution obviously warmed the heart of French Freemason Jacques Mitterand, who wrote approvingly: "Something has changed within the Church, and replies given by the Pope to the most urgent questions, such as priestly celibacy and birth control, are hotly debated within the Church itself; the word of the Sovereign Pontiff is questioned by bishops, by priests, by the faithful. For a Freemason, a man who questions dogma is already a Freemason without an apron." Marcel Prelot, a senator for the Doubs region in France, goes much further in describing what has taken place. He writes: "We had struggled for a century and a half to bring our opinions to prevail with the Church and had not succeeded. Finally, there came Vatican II and we triumphed. From then on the propositions and principles of liberal Catholicism have been definitively and offically accepted by Holy Church." Prelot's statement deserves comment, since we must make the distinction between the Church and Churchmen. Despite any claims by Freemasons, it is impossible for doctrinal errors to be "definitively and offically accepted by Holy Church" as such.The Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, cannot fall into error. Oue Lord promised that "the gate of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matt. 16:18). But this does not mean that Churchmen, even at the highest levels, cannot be infected with the liberal spirit of the age and promote ideas and practices that are opposed to the Church's perennial Magisterium. LET US PRAY AND HOPE THAT THE NEXT POPE WILL TAKE STRONG MEASURES AGAINST MODERNISTS AND LIBERALS WITHIN THE CHURCH. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.caughey [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
