Why Pedophilia is Rampant in the Church
Dr. Taylor Marshall, a well-known theologian and expert in Thomism as well as a supporter of the Traditional Latin Mass, has written a book on the infiltration of the Catholic Church by anti-Catholic forces. The book is titled Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within.
Marshall starts his book with the apparition of Our Lady of La Salette in France and her warnings against Satan's reign in Rome and with the Alta Vendita instructions that were attributed to Freemasonry and published with the explicit support of several Popes in the 19th century. This document explains that, in order to undermine the Catholic Church, one has to infiltrate her, rather than fight against her from the outside. For this purpose, they would aim at influencing the head of the Catholic Church, the Pope.
“Now then, in order to secure to us a Pope according to our own heart, it is necessary to fashion for that Pope a generation worthy of the kingdom of which we dream. Leave on one side old age and middle life, go to the youth, and, if possible, even to children.” These Masons set out to introduce into Catholic thinking liberal ideas that finally would also reach to the top of the Church.
"The plan," writes Marshall, "doesn’t include pamphlets, guns, bloodshed, or even political elections. It requires a step-by-step infiltration, first of the youth, next of the clergy, and then, as time passes, of those youth and clergy who become cardinals and then the pope."
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, the auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, wrote a Foreword to Dr. Marshall's book. He praises the book, stating that “In Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within, Taylor Marshall touches on a topic that is deliberately ignored today. The issue of a possible infiltration of the Church by forces outside her does not fit into the optimistic picture that Pope John XXIII and particularly the Second Vatican Council unrealistically and uncritically drew of the modern world.” Schneider wonders how it comes that today, “not a few high- ranking members of the Catholic Church’s hierarchy have not only yielded to the relentless demands of the modern world; they are, with or without conviction, actively collaborating in the implementation of its principles in the daily life of the Church in all areas and on all levels.”
Here, Dr. Marshall's book might well help to shed some light on how the Church got to this point. “In order to understand this crisis,” Schneider adds, “we must examine the very roots of the crisis.” This crisis can be seen “as an infiltration of the Church by the unbelieving world, and especially by Freemasons – an infiltration that, by human standards, could effectively succeed only through a long, methodical process.” However, at the end of his introduction, Bishop Schneider reminds us that “even the most perfidious plot to destroy the Church from within will not succeed.”
John Vennari addressed the issue of Masonic infiltration on the pages of Catholic Faith Network back in February 1997 with his article, “The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita,” which was later published as a booklet by TAN Books and Publishers (1999) and has recently been reprinted by The Fatima Centre (2017). In his booklet, subtitled, A Masonic Blueprint for the Subversion of the Catholic Church, Vennari summarizes the background and contents of a secret Masonic document as follows:
“Few Catholics know of The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita, a secret document written in the early 19th century that mapped out a blueprint for the subversion of the Catholic Church. The Alta Vendita was the highest lodge of the Carbonari, an Italian secret society with links to Freemasonry and which, along with Freemasonry, was condemned by the Catholic Church. Fr. E. Cahill, S.J. in his book Freemasonry and the Anti-Christian Movement states that the Alta Vendita was ‘commonly supposed to have been at the time the governing centre of European Freemasonry.’ The Carbonari were most active in Italy and France. …
The strategy advanced in The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita is astonishing in its audacity and cunning. From the start, the document tells of a process that will take decades to accomplish. Those who drew up the document knew that they would not see its fulfillment. They were inaugurating a work that would be carried on by succeeding generations of the initiated. The Permanent Instruction states, “In our ranks the solider dies and the struggle goes on.”
The Instruction called for the dissemination of liberal ideas and axioms throughout society and within the institutions of the Catholic Church so that laity, seminarians, clerics and prelates would, over the years, gradually be imbued with progressive principles.”
In the latest instalment of his ongoing “Moynihan Letters”, Dr. Robert Moynihan, founder and editor-in-chief of Inside the Vatican magazine, has divulged further details from his recent conversations with Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, including comments from the former apostolic nuncio on “the creation…of freemasonry” and related efforts “to infiltrate in some way into the Church,” the liberal hijacking of Vatican II during its opening session, and the state of the Jesuit Order in the United States – a topic which Viganò now claims Pope Francis broached during their infamous June 23, 2013 private meeting (detailed in Viganò initial testimony).
In a letter dated July 29, 2019, Dr. Moynihan revealed that he had met with Archbishop Viganò “in a quiet place” that day, followed by a subsequent letter (July 30) in which Moynihan quoted Viganò’s comments on “the history of the Jesuits” and “the triumph of a 60-year-old plan…to bring a new sort of thinking into the heart of the Church”. In the introduction of his new letter (Sept. 9, 2019), published two weeks after the one-year anniversary of Archbishop Viganò’s first testimony (released Aug. 25, 2018), Dr. Moynihan explains:
“Now, with the passage of a year, Archbishop Viganò has a still deeper concern: that the clerical sexual abuse crisis is only one aspect of a deeper and wider crisis of the Christian faith in our age. …
This deeper and wider crisis, Viganò believes, involves, theologically, an illegitimate rejection (that is, not a legitimate development) of traditional Catholic doctrine. The aim: to construct a more modern ‘new church,’ marked by a faith and practice in many areas of Catholic moral and sacramental life different from the Church of the past.
Viganò sees this rejection of traditional teaching as a matter of grave concern. In keeping with his role as a Catholic bishop, he told me, he feels it his duty to do all he can to defend orthodox doctrine.
‘I cannot be silent if the faith is at stake,’ Viganò told me. ‘If others will join me, all the better. But even if I am alone, I must speak out.’”
Moynihan goes on to provide excerpts from his recent discussions with Viganò. One crucial exchange reads as follows:
“Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: In one of your recent letters concerning me, you mentioned that the present pontificate, with a member of the Jesuit order as Pope, represents the achievement of a plan dating back 60 years.
Some of your readers wrote to comment that there were many more than 60 years leading up to this, going back to the early decades of the 20th century, to Jesuit thinkers like Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Karl Rahner, and also even earlier, to the time of the French Revolution in 1789.
So not just 60 years, but more than 200 years.
[Moynihan] How would you respond to this objection?
Viganò: I agree fully. Certainly, it is a project, if you will, that goes back centuries, in particular, to the creation in the middle of the 1700s of freemasonry. But of course, this project was very deceptive, and oriented, or even included in some way, the forces of some members of the Church. So, this process was able to infiltrate in some way into the Church. This is described in the book Infiltration by Dr. Taylor Marshall, so you may find some indication of this process there.”
In 1886, Pope Leo XIII published Quod Multum, decrying the “bold obstinacy of secret societies” and their domination by way of “conspiracies” and “corruptions.” Leo wrote four encyclicals against Freemasonry and doggedly fought Liberalism, which promoted rationalism and a Protestant critical approach to Scripture. As Marshall explains, Pope St. Pius X later “identified this internal Freemasonic attack as ‘Modernism,’ the naturalism of Freemasonry with a Catholic veneer that justifies itself by appealing to the ‘evolution of dogma.’” Here Marshall lays out an incisive tripartite analysis of Modernism’s main pillars: the “demythologizing” of Scripture, the embrace of secularism and universal fraternity, and the rejection of Catholic morals, doctrine, and aesthetics.
Given Marshall’s willingness to confront such thorny material, his book is not without controversy. One reviewer caricatures Marshall’s book as a “conspiracy theory” similar to that of a “mad relative”—both seriously misrepresenting the level of Marshall’s scholarship and ignoring the numerous preconciliar popes who have spoken with utter seriousness against the same subversive forces discussed by Marshall. When the reviewer lists specific criticisms, it becomes apparent that his real objection is to Marshall’s failure to endorse a rosy picture of la nouvelle théologie, the Novus Ordo Missae, and Vatican II.
Recalling Pope Francis’s subversive statements on conscience and an allegedly God-willed “diversity of religions,” Marshall says the revolutionaries finally have a pope whose philosophy “is essentially that of a nineteenth-century member of the Freemasonic Carbonari.” Under Infiltration’s capacious gaze, the Francis pontificate thus emerges as the unsurprising outcome of a long history of corrupting ideas. Surveying that historical genealogy equips us to better recognize the errors flourishing under this pontificate—and to vigorously resist them.
There is a reason there have always been tensions between the Vatican and the secret societies, which have always tried to destroy faith and more precisely Catholicism. Theologically, they believe in a deist God, so they do not believe in Catholicism. Nowadays there are Catholics that join freemasonry without even knowing that one thing is incompatible with the other. Their Illuminist ideologies opened the door to modern ideologies like scepticism, atheism, and all moral absurdities of today. They speak of God as the “grand architect of the universe”. God to them is like a billiard player, who hit the cue ball at the start of all things, and then stepped back, knowing how everything would play out. He is distant and impersonal. This is wrong. God is very much active in our day to day lives, constantly seeking a loving relationship with each one of us.
Then there is the problem of indifferentism. This is one of the core pillars of their belief system: that anyone, so long as they believe in God, are equal in the lodge, be they Christian, Jew, Hindu, or Muslim, etc. This implies that the details of one’s religion are unimportant so long as they’re nice to one another. This is relativism, and it is heresy. The details of our beliefs are unbelievably important. Souls are won and lost depending in their adherence to the doctrines that have been revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.
Freemasons teach that through study and ritual, one can acquire hidden knowledge which will make you a better person, that you can lift yourself out of the human condition solely through your own efforts. But this is pride and arrogance. We cannot save ourselves without help from God. We are fallen beings, in a fallen world, and only the light of God can save us from our present state.
