A Conspiracy against the Catholic Church? The True Popes Speak
A critique of the conspiracies against the Catholic Church, emphasizing warnings by traditional Popes about secret societies like Freemasonry. It links the Vatican II reforms to Masonic ideals, arguing they fostered doctrinal erosion. Highlighting scriptural prophecies of a "Great Apostasy," it asserts that modern deviations signal a deliberate assault on faith, orchestrated to obscure true Catholic teachings.
When discussing the issue of Sedevacantism with Novus Ordos, it is not uncommon that someone will dismiss it on the grounds that it involves a “conspiracy”; and of course nothing is more absurd to contemporary man than giving credence to a position that differs from what most others hold to be the obvious truth.
Two thousand years ago, our Blessed Lord taught: “…the truth shall make you free” (Jn 8:32). People who love and seek the truth ought to be concerned about, not whether something involves a conspiracy, but whether it is true. Whether a matter involves a conspiracy or not is completely irrelevant to its truth or falsity. Unfortunately, we live in times where such an observation, entirely reasonable, will simply not be considered by many because they have been conditioned to associate the terms “conspiracy” and especially “conspiracy theory” with foolishness and absurdity.
Yet, when we turn to a standard dictionary for the meaning of the term “conspiracy”, what we discover is fairly harmless:
conspiracy
[kuh n-spir–uh-see]
noun, plural con·spir·a·cies.
the act of conspiring.
an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.
a combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose:
He joined the conspiracy to overthrow the government.Law. an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act.
any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result.
