“Lay your snares in the sacristies and seminaries…” — Alta Vendita, the Masonic Instruction
There is an art of war modern society has forgotten—an art defined by patience, subtlety, and the slow rot of infiltration. It is a strategy alien to our dopamine-soaked age, particularly in what is still an infant nation in America, which scoffs at conspiracy not because the facts aren’t present, but because the facts unfold too slowly for us to care.
Yet previous popes had the documents in hand. They understood.
They warned us, even when they were pinched in a position of no longer being able to say the exact word[s].
The goal of Freemasonry–one of those words apparently “safe” in the recent history of narrative exposure–is never to destroy the Church outright, a feat even the gates of hell cannot accomplish—but rather to subvert her, to instrumentalize her, to use her like an abuser intent on destroying the soul of its victim. Not an explosion, but a mutation, or even a slow, insidious mutilation.

The aim has long been to turn traditional Catholics into indifferent Catholics: to make the Church a mere human institution, a useful vehicle for the Masonic dream of a Novus Ordo—one that would culminate not in the Kingship of Christ of all societies as Pope Pius XI intended in 1925 with his encyclical Quas Primas, but in a pan-religious brotherhood where every god and every religion is welcome. Except the real one–the one Christ actually established in the Gospels and the early disciples were tortured, crucified, burned over hot coals, and eaten by lions for.

If you’re Catholic, the final stage of this insidious scheme that has made the new religion life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
The guillotine.
The Noahide Laws, for example, sound wholesome, maybe even promising. Sounds like everyone can finally get along and those Muslims over there can worship their god and we Christians over here can worship ours.
But Christ is absent there. Absent. Which means mankind attempts to replace his throne. That’s the trick–and it all started in Genesis when God willed that the eternal enmity would be between two seeds. A Christ-less peace is a loaded gun aimed at the faithful. What begins as a hand extended across religious lines ends with the faithful beheaded for refusing to deny their King.
It is a classic bait-and-switch we should all be used to by now, but what will we say?
Surely that doesn’t apply this time, you conspiracy theorist!
And how was such a scheme to be executed?
Slowly.
Silently.

The liberalization of the Church wasn’t spontaneous. It began from the moment the apostles were establishing Christ’s Church, but for conversation’s sake, we turn to the 19th century, when post-Enlightenment Europe was awash in the liberal principles birthed by the French Revolution—principles like religious indifferentism, pluralism, and the false liberty that elevates man’s will over God’s authority. These were not “inevitable” developments of modern progress—they were ideological viruses, and the popes of the time and afterwards knew it.
Yet we were taught differently.
From the 19th into the early 20th century, the popes fought like generals on the front lines of spiritual warfare. Their artillery? Encyclicals. Their cannonballs? Condemnations of error.
Perhaps no document hit harder than Pope Pius IX’s 1864 Syllabus of Errors—a devastating rebuke of modern indifferentism, pantheism, naturalism, and secular democracy. This wasn’t a reaction against “modernity” for its own sake, but a defense of eternal truth against false principles—principles the Church saw clearly would destroy both souls and societies.
It was a showdown between Catholicism and the so-called “Rights of Man.” The large majority of American Catholics–I’d put the number in the 90 percentile range–do not know how much at odd so much of America is with Catholicism. That is, America how it was built and how it is–not how it could be. Not how we are called to bring it about by Christ the King.
Father Denis Fahey saw it as Pius IX vs. the Pantheistic Deification of Man. Even French Freemasons like Ferdinand Buisson agreed. The lines were clear.
And this time, the binary was real.
But not everyone in the Catholic ranks held the line. Not everyone sided with the seed of the Woman.
A new breed of Catholic emerged, perhaps unwittingly, sure, but emerged nonetheless: men who wanted to synthesize fire and water. They sought to extract “the good” from the Revolution of 1789 and import it into the Church. They believed they could remain Catholic, while borrowing principles from the very enemies of the Cross.
They came to be known as liberal Catholics.
And despite what I thought my entire life, I was a liberal Catholic for most of it. And moreover still, I can say this with full assurance, my grossly sinful life was principally because of such wishy-washy without even realizing it indifferentism.
Pope Pius IX called them–would have called me–the worst enemies of the Church. In an 1871 letter, he declared:
“That which I fear is not the Commune of Paris. No. That which I fear is Liberal Catholicism… The real scourge of France is Liberal Catholicism, which endeavors to unite two principles as repugnant to each other as fire and water.”
This was the snare laid by Freemasonry–who are remember just a front for the true root name. And it worked. The infection spread from seminaries to sacristies, from pulpits to pews.
The hurricane came at the turn of the 20th century.
What began as liberal Catholicism exploded into modernism, the “synthesis of all heresies,” as Pope Pius X would later call it. A movement so sweeping, so subtle, that it didn’t just teach error—it disguised error in the garments of truth. This is why and how I was hoodwinked.
Modernism’s lineage was demonic:
- Religious ancestor: the Protestant Revolt in the 16th century
- Philosophical parent: the Enlightenment 17-18th centuries
- Political idol: the French Revolution 18th-19th centuries
And amidst all of that, a most insidious family took over the Vatican banks in the early 19th.
The modernist did not declare open war on Christ. Instead, he whispered lies that made Christ the preferred path, but not the only path. The King for some, but not the King for all. He denied the divine origin of the Church, claimed doctrine could “evolve,” and elevated man’s “religious sense” over divine revelation.
The fruit? Religious indifferentism–the idea that all religions are more or less valid paths to salvation. It is something we hear a lot now, and are probably used to it because of images we see from Francis and Benedict reaching out to world leaders in the spirit of ecumenism. But do Catholics know about 1986 and John Paul II prayer gathering at Assisi? I remember very clearly being an eight-year-old child wondering, “How on Earth is that compatible with what I thought Catholicism and Christ were supposed to be.” But then I stuffed the thought down. Surely the pope knew better than I.
But if that were true… why be Catholic?
Why fast, pray, confess, and suffer?
Why carry the Cross at all? These were the seeds planted in me at an early age–and they grew into a most hideous tree choking my soul for the better part of my life. Because the natural result of such indifferentism toward Christ in his Church is an indifferentism toward mortal sin.
Catholicism saved my life. Christ, through His Church, pulled me back from the edge. I would’ve lost my soul without it. The discipline, the fasting, the demands—it is hard. But it is holy.
And if all religions are just “different paths,” then the Church is a fraud.
But it’s not. It is the Ark.
And modernism seeks to penetrate its bounds of safety.
Pius X recognized modernism as a plague, a virus, one that needed to be stamped out or it would spread through every organ of the Church’s body.
The Alta Vendita said to lay snares in the sacristy. That prophecy has come to pass. So has the words of Our Lady at LaSallette.
This is not a battle of preferences, a superficial question of language and which Mass we like. This is Genesis 3:15 playing out in real time. The serpent and the seed of the Woman–the same Woman holding the Child against the attacks of the dragon in the Apocalypse. The anti-Church and the true Church. In every generation, the line must be redrawn.
The same truth holds: You cannot serve both the Revolution and the Cross. You cannot plant both seeds.
We must choose, and because we will never stop bleeding from the wound, we must choose again and again every day.
