News of the Patriarchate's video: Modernism and ecclesiastical euthanasia Part 2

At the beginning of the 18th century, a semi-secret association of Freemasons was founded. It is a mixture of gnosticism and occultism. The goal of the Masons is to destroy Christianity and to establish the worship of Satan by asserting their global supremacy. If a Catholic has become a member of the lodge, he is automatically excommunicated from the Church and is no longer a Christian! In the 18th century, a movement called the Enlightenment arose under the influence of the Masons. It had an impact not only on the worldly affairs but on the Church too. The Enlightenment had its continuation in nineteenth-century Modernism. Modernism sought to conform the truths of faith to the world – so called aggiornamento. That actually meant elimination of the essential truths of Christianity – spiritual euthanasia. St Pius X issued the encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) and imposed the Antimodernist Oath. Some of the bishops, priests and theologians who were Modernists consciously rejected those measures. The Masons exploited the Modernist and liberal prelates, priests and theologians. They united with them in the fight for a change in thinking (anti-metanoia) in the Church. Modernist (liberal) thinking is basically the thinking of Freemasons. Both proclaim that Christianity and pagan cults are equally valid ways to salvation, that there is no difference between the true God and idols – the demons of Hinduism and Buddhism or the pseudo god of Islam, and that the truths of faith as well as the Church need to be conformed to the world, i.e. to secular thinking (aggiornamento). Modernists were and are unconverted clerics who do not struggle with their own pride and lusts and do not follow Christ. They do not believe in God, and therefore they are ashamed of the truths of faith! Their lack of faith is their motivation for conforming the doctrine of the Church to new so-called scholarly approaches. This means that they have excluded all the miracles of Scripture and turned the Church into a kind of humanist organization. After the death of Pius X, the first success of the Masons was the installation of Pope Benedict XV (G. della Chiesa, 1914-1923). As a young priest he became a protégé of Card. Rampolla, Secretary of State, who was known for promoting Masonic ideas and Modernism. That was why Pius X had relieved him of the office of State Secretary. During his papacy, Chiesa enabled again the development of Modernism in the Church. He immediately cancelled penalties imposed on Modernists and appointed like-spirited bishops, theologians and priests to the key posts. Benedict’s successors were Pope Pius XI (1923-1939) and Pius XII (1939-1958). The latter was compromised because his attitude to fascism during the war was not entirely in order. Masons, who already had their people at the Vatican, blackmailed him. Under their pressure, he was forced to make concessions and to prepare the ground for Roncalli, the future Pope John XXIII. http://vkpatriarhat.org.ua/en/?p=14010 http://vkpatriarhat.org.ua/en/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Part-2-Modernism-and-ecclesiastical-euthanasia.doc
