  • From : St. Fernando III, A Kingdom for Christ by James Fitzhenry:

    Fernando was raised in an age when the Catholic Church was rightly recognized as the origin and bulwark of western civilization, and great works were undertaken for the glory of God. The influence of the Church pervaded every aspect of society, guiding men in their thoughts and actions to lead them to their supernatural end. It is only proper that this should be so, for just as the revealed truths of Christ exceed in excellence the natural laws that He established to govern our universe, there could be no true order and peace among men without recognition of God as both the creator and sustainer of all things, His law as the basis of morality and justice in society, and His very self as the ultimate end of all things. God Himself has ordained that it is only by observing His law that mankind can enjoy any true happiness and welfare in this life, and come to eternal bliss in the next.

  • Life in the world today is like a race where you are permitted to use any method of movement except your legs. The legs are the Catholic Faith. Of all the solutions they propose (e.g.- the Rule of Law) to solve the problems of the world, you will never hear them say the truth that THE ONLY method to win the race is the Catholic Faith LIVED. I doubt if 1.3 million people in the world LIVE the Catholic Faith, yet baptized Catholics represent about 18% of the world (Eastern Orthodox and Protestants represent another 13%, that could have been converted by a real Catholic hierarchy). THAT is why the world is as it is today. That is why the whole world is going the way of the NWO. Notice that the power behind the NWO is totally coming from the governments run by peoples of European extraction, all of them Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox. The Rothschilds could not get anywhere without them. 
     
     
    The anti-Catholicism of U.S. policy has sometimes been stated explicitly by its leaders. Theodore Roosevelt when he paid a visit to South America at the turn of the 20th century said:
     
     
    "While these countries remain Catholic," he said, "we will not be able to dominate them."
     
     
     
    Practically no one LIVES the Catholic Faith today (even among the clergy!), therefore, the world is easily dominated.

  • While certain aspects of western civilization prior to Christianity were undoubtedly splendid and possibly impeccable such as exemplified in Greece & Rome, but without the Church people tend to become beasts and that’s what we see today and what we read about in history including in western civilization.
