The Unholy
Trinity
And the New
World Order
Robert J. Siscoe
“The claim to withdraw
the public life of States and Nations from the subjection to God and His Law is
the dominant error and the capital crime of this [19th] Century”.
(Cardinal Pie)
Last month
(1) we examined the errors of “the Unholy Trinity” - Naturalism, Rationalism
and Liberalism. We saw that Naturalism is
“the system that seeks systematically to eliminate God and His supreme
sovereignty over the order of things in the world called ‘nature’.” (2) This is accomplished either by denying the
very existence of the supernatural order, or at least denying that man can know
anything about this higher order, even by Divine Revelation. Rationalism is the application of Naturalism
to human reason. Rejecting Divine
Revelation, Rationalism maintains that human reason is the sole principle and
source of truth, and the exclusive judge of what is true and false, good and
evil. Liberalism is the application of
Naturalism to the human will, both individual and collective, by denying that man
is subject to God and morally bound to obey His Law. The seeds of these errors are clearly found in
the teaching of the early Protestants, and were further developed in the dark
workshops of the Masonic Lodges, with the aid of the occult forces that brought
about the so-called Enlightenment.
“Liberalism is a recent name for the old heresies of
Protestantism, Naturalism and Rationalism (…) The ‘Societies of Thought’, the
Masonic Lodges, were the factories where the formulas for the Naturalistic and
Rationalistic cult were produced”. (3)
In the
encyclical Humanum Genus, Pope Leo XIII
instructed the Bishops of the world to “tear away the mask of Freemasonry, and
let it be seen as it really is”, explaining that the ultimate aim of the
Masonic sect is “the utter overthrow of that whole
religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has
produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with
their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere
Naturalism”.
In
this article we will contrast the Divine Plan for Order, which is founded upon
the Rights of God and ordered to man’s eternal salvation, with the Masonic plan
of disorder, which is founded upon the doctrines of the Unholy Trinity –
doctrines that serve as a positive obstacle for man in obtaining the end for
which he was created, namely, supernatural life in this world, and the beatific
vision in the world to come.
Christendom
In the
Divine Plan for order, the Rights of God and the Social Kingship of Christ are
acknowledged by both the temporal and spiritual rulers, and there is an ordered
harmony between the two powers, civil and
ecclesiastical. Although the Kingdom of Christ is not of this
world – that is, it does not originate
from this world – nevertheless, due to the Incarnation, the heavenly Kingdom of
Our Lord extends to this world.
“The Kingdom of God on earth” wrote Fr. Fahey, “consists…
essentially and principally in the supernatural society of the Catholic Church,
secondarily and as a consequence of the influence of the Catholic Church, in an
organization of the social life of States, political and economic, in
accordance with the Divine Plan for order.
God in Three Divine Persons is Subsistence Love of order. Accordingly, as there is no opposition and
separation between invisible grace and visible organization… the social
organization of men, called upon to share in the Inner Life of God through
membership of Christ, will reflect the Divine Love of order (…) Christian
civilization is the overflow of the Kingdom of heaven. It is the impress of the Mystical body of
Christ on man’s social organization.” (4)
In
Christendom, the State publicly embraces and professes the true religion and
protects it from the attacks of heretics and other unbelievers; civil law is
subordinate to the Revealed Law of Christ, and the authority of the Church is
acknowledged in all matters relating in any way to conscience. (5) This subordination of the temporal order to
spiritual order and the Law of Christ, results in the teachings and Life of
Christ permeating society, informing politics, morality, the economy, and
social institutions.
Since the
Magisterium is the divinely established teacher and interpreter of Revealed
truth, the Church possesses supreme authority on matters of faith and morals,
and indirect authority over temporal matters when the salvation of souls is at
stake. Although the temporal and
spiritual orders are distinct in their own sphere, there must be an ordered
subordination of the one to the other, in such a way that the temporal order
does not in any way hinder man in the attainment of his supernatural end, but
instead serve as an aid for its attainment.
Since there is no proportion between the temporal and supernatural end of
man, the subordination is only indirect, as Fr. Fahey explains:
“As there is order in
all God’s work, there must be a subordination of the lower to the higher. Now, the very excellence of the spiritual end
of man over the temporal end precludes the possibility of direct subordination
of the temporal to the spiritual. Direct
subordination is required where the inferior is a means to the superior; that
is, where it is proportionate to the superior or higher end, for whatever is a
means must be proportionate to the end.
Bodily well-being, food, worldly possessions have no proportionate
relation to Eternal Life in union with God in Three Divine Persons, so they
cannot be direct means thereto. But they
must be indirectly subordinate to the future life; the temporal end of man,
earthly felicity, must be sought in such a way as to be not only not a
hindrance to the spiritual end of, but, on the contrary, a help to its
attainment.” (6)
Although
the temporal end is only indirectly subordinate to the spiritual end for which
man was created, nevertheless, both the temporal and spiritual orders are directly subordinate to Christ the King,
the Redeemer of mankind and “the lawgiver to whom obedience is due” (Pope Pius
XI, Quas Primas). Temporal rulers have a
duty to acknowledge the Kingship of Christ no less than spiritual rulers, since
both are equally subject to Christ and participate in His Kingship. The Pope and Bishops participate in the
Spiritual Kingship of Christ, while the civil rulers participate in His
Temporal Kingship. Therefore all rulers,
whether spiritual or temporal, must acknowledge Christ the King, from Whom
their authority is derived, and must govern in accord with His law, always
remembering that “a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty.” (Wisdom
6:9)
Men must
render to God the things that are God’s, and to Caesar the things that are
Caesar’s; but Caesar himself is a man. Therefore, as Fr. Fahey notes, “Caesar,
too, that is, organized States and rulers of nations as such, must give to God
the things that are God’s. Cesar is
bound to worship God in the supernatural way in which He has declared that He
wants to be worshiped.” (7) The State, no less than individuals, has a duty to
acknowledge its Creator and publicly profess the religion He established, “for
men living together in society are under the power of God no less than
individuals are” wrote Pope Leo XIII, “and society, no less than individuals,
owes gratitude to God who gave it being and maintains it, and whose
ever-bounteous goodness enriches it with countless blessings. Since … the chief
duty of all men is to cling to religion in both its teaching and practice … it
is a public crime to act as though there were no God. So, too, is it a sin for
the State not to have concern for religion as
a something beyond its scope, or as of no practical benefit; or out of many
forms of religion to adopt that one which chimes in with the fancy; for we are
bound absolutely to worship God in that way which He has shown to be His will.”
(Immortale Dei)
In the
encyclical Libertas, the same holy
Pontiff teaches that the union of Church and State is analogous to the union of
soul and body, “the separation of which brings irremediable harm to the body,
since it extinguishes its very life”. If
the State is not for Christ, it will turn against Christ (Mt. 12:30), and
persecute the members of His Mystical Body.
Having rejecting the Source of all life, the State will produce fruits
of death, eventually bringing forth a culture of death.
The contrary
results from the Divine Plan for order, in which the teaching and supernatural
Life of Christ permeates all aspects of society, thereby producing a truly
Christian culture. It is this order that
all Catholics should desire and seek to bring about.
The New World Order
In the
Masonic plan of disorder, the Rights of God and the Kingship of Christ are
ignored, the Godless State is separated from the Church, the spiritual order is
subordinated to the temporal order, and the true religion is placed on the same
plane as false religions and heretical sects.
In this Naturalistic world order, Divine Revelation is denied, religion
is considered a private matter, and civil law is based on sand – that is, on the
easily manipulated and ever-changing “will of the people”. The seeds
of this Masonic world order are found in the Protestant errors of Martin
Luther.
The idea
that the State owes no public worship to God stems from Luther’s heretical
ecclesiology, which denies that Christ founded a visible Church to “teach all
nations” (Mt 28:19), and instead maintained that the Church of Christ was an
invisible community of scattered believers known to God alone. This is the “invisible Church” of Luther’s
imagination, in which each man’s beliefs are based on his private
interpretation of the Bible. The division
caused by this error resulted in religious belief becoming subjective, a personal
opinion, which eventually developed into an unnatural dualism within the same
subject being (man) - a dualism between the internal man and the external man;
between the private man and the public man.
According to Luther, there should be a profound separation, and even opposition,
between a Christian ruler and the way in which he rules. This dualism expressed in the following
quote:
“You are a prince or judge” wrote Luther, “you have people
under you and you wish to know what to do.
It is not Christ you are to question concerning this matter but the law
of your country… Between the Christian and the ruler, a profound separation must be made … Assuredly, a prince can be a
Christian, but it is not as a Christian that he ought to govern. The man is Christian, but his function does
not concern religion… Though they are founded in the same man, the two states
or functions are perfectly marked off, one from another, and really opposed.” (8)
For
Luther, a Christian governor should not allow his Christian beliefs to affect
the way in which he governs. Is this not
what we see in our own day with those misguided politicians who “personally oppose”
this or that moral evil, yet “do not want to force their beliefs on others”,
thereby ignoring God’s Law and relegating an objective evil to the category of
a subjective opinion?
The
clear-cut separation between the Christian and the citizen is not at odds with
Luther’s false idea of justification, since for him sinful acts were not a
hindrance to salvation. Luther taught
that as long as a person had what he called “faith” (by which he meant trust in
the merits of Christ), God would no longer look upon his sins (past, present or
future), but only on the merits of Christ, which covered his sins “like a dung
hill covered with snow”.
“God only obliges you to believe and to confess (the faith)”
wrote Luther. “In all other things He leaves you free, Lord and master to do
whatever you will without any danger to your conscience; on the contrary, it is
certain that, as far as He is concerned, it makes no difference whether you
leave your wife, flee from your lord, or are unfaithful to every obligation.
What is it to Him if you do or do not do such things? (Werke XXI p. 131)
"During this life we have to sin. It is sufficient that, by the mercy of
God, we know the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. Sin will not
separate us from Him, even though we were to commit a thousand murders and a
thousand adulteries per day." (Franca, 9.439) (9)
Luther’s
heretical idea of justification and salvation reinforced the dualism within the
one subject being by allowing a person to profess to be a follower of Christ,
yet live as an Atheist.
The
separation between the Christian and the citizen led to the separation between
the Church and the State, which resulted in the supremacy of the State, with
the Church relegated to a department within the State, and consequently subject
to the State.
This
unnatural dualism eventually developed into Liberalism, which attempts to separate
the creature from its Creator by “liberating” man from the obedience he owes to
God.
“Lutheranism initiated that dualism” wrote Fr. Fahey, “which
separates life into two halves so independent that they have only accidental
relations with each other, and thus prepared the way for Liberalism. This is the application of Naturalism to
morality, politics and economics.” (10)
Naturalism
denies the existence of divinely revealed truth. Liberalism applies this speculative error to
the practical level by maintaining that the individual reason (man), and the
social reason (civil society), owe no obedience to God’s Law, and instead are
absolutely sovereign in their own sphere.
Just as each individual is to be guided in solely by his own reason and
will, without reference to God and His revealed Law, so
too the collective reason of the
multitude is the exclusive guide of the community, and the source of all public
law. Consequently, God’s Revealed Law
and even Natural Law are replaced by human law, which is derived from “the will
of the people”. The end result is that
human will usurps the Divine Will, thereby putting man– at least man collectively – in the place of God. In his magnificent encyclical Libertas, Pope Leo XIII explains
this Liberal error as follows:
“What
Naturalists or Rationalists aim at in philosophy, that the supporters of Liberalism…
are attempting in the domain of morality and politics. The fundamental doctrine
of Rationalism is the supremacy of the human reason, which, refusing due
submission to the divine and Eternal Reason, proclaims its own independence,
and constitutes itself the supreme principle and source and judge of truth.
Hence, these followers of Liberalism deny the existence of any divine authority
to which obedience is due, and proclaim that every man is the law to himself;
from which arises that ethical system which they style independent morality,
and which, under the guise of liberty, exonerates man from any obedience to the
commands of God, and substitutes a boundless license. (…) just as every man's individual reason is his only rule of
life, so the collective reason of the
community should be the supreme guide in the management of all public affairs.
Hence the doctrine of the supremacy of the greater number, and that all right
and all duty reside in the majority.”
Today
the principles of Liberalism are applied, not only to politics and morality,
but also to the economy. Those who
maintain that it should be left to “the market” to decide this or that, without
considering whether this or that is at variance with God’s Law, are simply
applying the false notion of “the will of the people” to the economic sphere;
for what is the “the market” if not the collective will of man – the buyers and
sellers? Man is a moral agent, and all
moral actions, including those dealing with economics, must be governed by
God’s Law. “By what things a man sinneth”
said the Holy Ghost, “by the same also he is tormented.” (Wisdom 11:17) There’s no doubt that the economic problems
we are experiencing today are a punishment from God for man’s refusal to
acknowledge His sovereignty, by subordinating economic matters to the teachings
of the Gospel – which includes the prohibition of usury. Continuing with the encyclical Libertas, Pope Leo XIII wrote:
“A doctrine of such character is most hurtful
both to individuals and to the State. For, once ascribe to human reason the
only authority to decide what is true and what is good, the real distinction
between good and evil is destroyed; honor and dishonor differ not in their
nature, but in the opinion and judgment of each one; pleasure is the measure of
what is lawful; and, given a code of morality which can have little or no power
to restrain or quiet the unruly propensities of man, a way is naturally opened
to universal corruption.”
The
devil knows well placing truth and error, good and evil, on the same level will
result in confusion. The end result, as
the Pope warned, is that pleasure – the gratification of human desires – will
be the measure of what is lawful. The
issue of “gay marriage”, which is rapidly becoming the law of the land, is
another fruit of this error (see the encyclical Arcanum by Leo XIII), for when
God and His Laws are excluded, and the will of man is declared supreme, there
is nothing to stop marriage itself from violating the laws of nature and being
brought into accord with man’s vicious inclinations. The intellectual confusion and moral
degradation produced by Liberalism eventually leads to tyranny. Continuing with Libertas:
“With reference also to public affairs:
authority is severed from the true and natural principle whence it derives all
its efficacy for the common good; and the law determining what it is right to
do and avoid doing is at the mercy of a majority. Now, this is simply a road leading straight to tyranny.”
When
man rejects the Divine Plan for order and instead seek to organize society as
if God and His Law did not exist, the result will be a two-fold tyranny: first
the internal tyranny of vice and
moral corruption, which will soon be followed by the external tyranny of the vicious rulers. Today, even the most sanguine of the New
Springtime crowd is forced to acknowledge the corruption of society and the
tyranny that is rapidly descending upon us, both of which are natural fruits of
Liberalism.
Following
in the footsteps of Lucifer who said to God non-Serviam – “I will not serve” –
and the unbelieving Jews who said “we will not have this man to reign over us…
give unto us Barabbas…we have no King but Caesar”, modern man is now suffering
from what Cardinal Pie called the “absolute theocracy of Caesar, head and
arbiter of religion, supreme oracle of doctrine and law.” Having rejected the sweet yoke of Christ, the
universal the King of all creation, and instead chosen the murder and thief
Barabbas (who signifies the Godless United Nations, which Pope Paul VI called
“man’s last hope for concord and peace” (11)), man is now facing the monstrous
tyranny of a global Caesar–Barabbas.
With an estimated 262 million (12) innocent people murdered by Atheistic
governments during the previous century fresh in mind, many fear what is
coming; but when man rejects the Social Reign of Christ the King, he should not
be surprised when he is justly punished for his crime by a tyrannical
Caesar. “God will reign” wrote Cardinal
Pie, “and if he does not reign by the benefits inseparable from his presence,
he will reign by calamities inseparable from his absence.”
The
unbelieving Jews – the “natural branches” (Romans 11:17-20) – have paid for
their crime of rejecting Christ the King for the past 2000 years. God only know
what is in store for the unbelieving Gentiles – the “wild olive branches” – who
have repeated their crime. “Never to
have known Jesus Christ is the greatest of misfortunes… But, after having known
Him, to reject or forget Him,
is a crime so foul and so insane that it seems impossible for any man to be
guilty of it.” (Tematsi)
In
Luke, Chapter 19, Our Lord speaks of Himself in the parable of the nobleman who
“went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom.” Then, referring to the unbelieving Jews, He
said: “but His citizens hated Him: and they sent an embassage after Him,
saying: we will not have this man to reign over us.” (vs. 14) Later in the parable, in words that apply to both
the unbelieving Jews and the Liberals of today, Our Lord said: “But as for
those My enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and
kill them before me.” (vs. 27) It is not
enough to accept Christ as our Savior who frees us from our sins; we must also
accept him as King and Lawgiver to Whom obedience is due. “If we do not love
Christ's social reign” said Bishop Tissier de Mallerais, “we will fall under
the social reign of the devil.”
Seeing
the tyranny of an antichristian government descending upon them, many
mistakenly believe the solution is more “liberty”. What they don’t realize is that the false
notion of “liberty” (freedom from God’s Law and from submission to the Christ
the King) is what has brought us to our present misfortune. To borrow a modern
phrase: 1776 is not the answer to
1984; it is the cause. Over 100 years ago, Pope St. Pius X warned:
“Abandonment of God and apostasy is the disease
which is eating into the vitals of Society much more than in past time, and is
daily growing worse … the cry of the enemies of God: ‘Depart from us’ (Job.
xxi.14) has become almost universal … with appalling rashness, man has usurped
the place of God, raising himself above all that is called God, showing forth
the characteristics which is the distinguishing mark of Antichrist.”
(E-Supreme)
The
real answer to 1984 is, as Pope St. Pius X never tired of saying, to “restore
all things in Christ” (Eph. 1:10), which means to lead man back to submission
to God. “To restore all things in
Christ”, wrote Pius X, “and to lead men back to submission to God is one and
the same aim.” (E-Supreme)
There
is no baptizing the Masonic errors which have brought society to the brink of
destruction, and simply trying to be a leaven in a Masonic Society is not
enough. Unless Christ reigns over nations,
all efforts to convert the world and build a Christian civilization will be
sterile for the end proposed.
"So long as Christ does not reign over
nations”, wrote Cardinal Pie, “His influence over individuals remains
superficial and precarious. …If the environment is non-Catholic, it prevents
him from embracing the faith or, if he has the faith, it tends to root out of
his heart every vestige of belief. … try to convert individuals without
Catholicizing the social institutions and your work is without stability. The
structure you erect in the morning will be torn down by others in the evening.”
Fatima is the Answer
Admittedly,
at the present time the conversion of nations to the Social Reign of Christ the
King looks, humanly speaking, hopeless, while the tyrannical suppression of
Christianity by an Atheistic and Antichrist global Caesar-Barabbas looks quite promising. But God foresaw the seemingly hopeless situation
we are now in and provided a remedy – a remedy that does not require the
cooperation of the forces of Antichrist who now run the world. The remedy is completely at odds with the
errors of the Unholy Trinity, and its religious offspring, Modernism, which has
invaded the Church and infected the vast
majority of the members of the hierarch.
The solution is not of this world, and will not be brought about by
pan-religious ecumenical “prayer meetings” in which members of false religions
are invited by the Vicar of Christ to invoke their false gods for peace. Such actions will only bring further
destruction as God punishes the Church for placing the true religion on the
same plane as false religions and heretical sects. The solution to our modern ills was provided
by heaven, and consists in a simple act of obedience in faith to the requests
of Our Lady of Fatima, who has promised that an era of peace will be granted to
the world when the Pope, together with the Bishops, performs the collegial
Consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart.
It
is interesting to note that four centuries ago this promise of Fatima was revealed,
in part, to Ven. Mary of Agreda. The
following is taken from The Mystical City
of God:
“I have been informed of a great mystery, which
affords us consolation in this conflict of the holy Church against her wicked
enemies. Namely, that on account of this
triumph of most holy Mary [discusses previously in the chapter] and on account
of another, which She gained over the demons after the Ascension of our Lord
(Part III, 528), the Almighty, in reward of her battles, decreed, that through
her intercession and virtue all heresies and sects of the world against holy
Church were to be destroyed and extinguished.
The time appointed for this blessing was not made known to me; probably,
the fulfillment of this decree is
dependent upon some tacit and unknown condition.” (Vol. 2, pg 290)
We
now know what that condition is: the collegial Consecration of Russia to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Unfortunately,
even though the last eight Popes have acknowledged the authenticity of the message
of Fatima, which now enjoys a Feast Day on the universal calendar, none have
performed the requested act. In 1942, Pope
Pius XII consecrated the world to the
Immaculate Heart in union with the other Bishops; in 1984, John Paul II also
consecrated the world, but without
the other Bishops. In 1952, Pope Pius
XII personally consecrated Russia by
name to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as did Paul VI in 1964, but neither of
these performed the consecration with the other Bishops, as requested. To date, all of the Papal consecrations have
fallen short of the simple request of Fatima.
Today
the world stands on the brink of disaster, and almost everyone, believer and unbeliever
alike, can sense it. Will our new Pope
at last fulfill the simple requested by Heaven, or will he continue down the
path of his predecessors, which will end in “the annihilated of many nations”? Time will tell. For our part let us perform our daily duties,
make the First Saturdays as requested at Fatima, and continue to publicly proclaim
the Kingship of Christ, for, as Our Lord told St. Margaret Mary Alacoque: “I
will reign in spite of My enemies.”
We
will end with the words of Bishop Tissier De Mallarias:
“We should all be
resolved as much as lies in us, to fight this satanic plan, which God may deign
to dissipate with the breath of His mouth. Sons of the Catholic Church, adhering
to the indefectible voice of the Spouse of Christ, we proclaim the absolute
Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ over the human affairs, over societies and
over nations.”
