The Subversion of the Church brought about
by a Council
The details of the enterprise of subverting the Church and the papacy planned by the Masonic sect were seen more than a century ago by a great illuminé, Canon Roca. Bishop Rudolf Graber in his book Athanasius quotes the works of this Roca (1830-1893), a priest in 1858, honorary Canon in 1869. Excommunicated afterwards, he preached revolution and announced the coming of the synarchy. In his writings he often speaks of a “newly illuminated Church,” which would be, he declares, influenced by the Socialism of Jesus and of His Apostles. He predicts, “The new Church, which will probably no longer be able to keep anything of the teaching and of the primitive form of the ancient Church, will nonetheless receive the blessing and the canonical jurisdiction from Rome.” Roca also proclaims the liturgical reform: “Divine worship such as the liturgy, the ceremonial, the ritual, such as the prescriptions of the Roman Church regulate them, will undergo a transformation following an ecumenical council…which will give it back the respectable simplicity of the apostolic golden age, in accordance with the new conditions of consciousness and of modern civilization.”
Roca specifies the fruits of this Council: “One thing will stand out which will astound the world and which will throw the world onto its knees before its Redeemer. This thing will be the demonstration of the perfect accord between the ideals of modern civilization and the ideals of Christ and his Gospel. This will be the consecration of the New Social Order and the solemn baptism of modern civilization.”
In other words, all the values of the so-called liberal culture will be recognized and canonized following the Council in question.
Then you have what Roca writes about the pope: “A sacrifice is being prepared, which will introduce a solemn penance… The papacy will fall; it will die under the sacred knife that the Fathers of the last Council will forge. The pontifical Cæsar is the consummated host for the sacrifice.” (It must be admitted that all that is in a fair way to happen as Roca says, unless Our Lord prevents it!) Roca finally designates the new priests who will appear, with the name of “progressives”; he speaks of the suppression of the cassock, of the marriage of priests…so many prophecies!
Observe how Roca indeed saw the determining role of a final ecumenical council in the subversion of the Church!
It is not only the enemies of the Church who have put their finger on the confusion that an ecumenical council would bring which met at a time when the liberal ideas had already well penetrated the Church.
At the secret consistory of May 23, 1923, relates Father Dulac,1 Pius XI questioned the Cardinals of the Curia on the timeliness of summoning an ecumenical council. There were about thirty there: Merry del Val, De Lai, Gasparri, Boggiani, Billot. Billot was saying, “The existence of profound differences in the midst of the episcopacy itself cannot be concealed…[They] run the risk of giving place to discussions that will be prolonged indefinitely.”
Boggiani recalled the Modernist theories, from which, he said, a part of the clergy and of the bishops are not exempt. “This mentality can incline certain Fathers to present motions, to introduce methods incompatible with Catholic traditions.”
Billot is still more precise. He expresses his fear of seeing the Council “maneuvered” by “the worst enemies of the Church, the Modernists, who are already getting ready, as certain indications show, to bring forth the revolution in the Church, a new 1789.”
When John XXIII revived the idea, already cherished before him by Pius XI,2 to summon an ecumenical council, Father Caprile relates,3 “He read the documents in the course of some walks in the Vatican gardens….” That is all. His decision was made. On several occasions he affirmed that he had made it under a sudden inspiration of the Holy Ghost:4
Obeying an interior voice that we consider as having come directly from a higher impulse, we have judged the moment to be opportune to offer to the Catholic Church and to all the human family a new ecumenical council.5
This “inspiration from the Most High,” this “divine solicitation,” as he still called it, he received on January 25, 1959, while he was preparing to celebrate a ceremony at St. Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome; he unburdened himself about it immediately after the ceremony to the eighteen cardinals present. Was this inspiration truly divine? That seems doubtful; its origin seems to me to be something else altogether.
In any case, a consideration of an old friend of Cardinal Roncalli, the future John XXIII, is enlightening on this subject. At the news of the death of Pius XII, the old Dom Lambert Beauduin, a friend of Roncalli’s, confided to Fr. Bouyer: “If they elect Roncalli, everything would be saved; he would be capable of calling a Council and of consecrating ecumenism.“6 As Fr. Bonneterre shows, Dom Lambert Beauduin knew Cardinal Roncalli well; he knew in 1958 that Roncalli, once having become pope, would bring ecumenism to reality—and that he would do this, if at all possible, by means of a Council. Indeed he who speaks of ecumenism speaks of religious liberty and Liberalism. The “revolution in tiara and cope” was not an improvisation. I will attempt in the next conference to allow you to relive the unfolding of this at the time of the Second Vatican Council.
