I posted this previously on catholic.com and fisheaters before I was banned so some of you may be familiar with the topic.

A nasty rumor that Cardinal Mariano Rampolla was somehow a 'secret occult mason and in the OTO' has somehow been circulating for about 100 years. It started when writer Msg Jouin was fed a forged, phoney docuмent cooked up by a cabal trying to discredit the great Cardinal. This is not an attack on Jouin--I am only saying that no one gets everything right.

Cardinal Rampolla was Sec of State under Pope Leo XIII and arch-priest of Vatican Cathedral under St. Pius X.

So far as I know, the persons spreading this story(sincere or otherwise) include Piers Compton(The Broken Cross), Yves Chiron(bio of Pius X), Craig Hiembichner(Blood On Alter and other works), John Vennari of Catholic Family News, Lady Queenborough( I think she is mistaken-not malicious), and the Dimond Bros Most Holy Family Monastery.

This story is very dangerous as if true(which it certainly is not) it completly discredits the character of Leo XIII, Cardinal Raphael Merry Del Valle, St Pius X and Francis MacNutt(Papal Chamberlain).

The Cardinal was a great man and it is my view that he is being attacked, among other reasons because he and Leo XIII were of the anti-Dreyfus party. The ʝʊdɛօ-masonic clique around Franz-Joseph pressured him to 'veto' the Cardinals election as Pope in 1903.

Fortunatly no harm was done to Holy Church as the administration of affairs was carried on by St. Pius no differently than they would have been in a Rampolla papacy.

I hope no-one has fallen for this smear on a great man.

That's interesting. God had it that St. Pius X be Pope though it seems still. The Lord, of course, works in mysterious ways above our understanding. Also, notice that the Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima after St. Pius X died. St. Pius X, I bet you would have been one to have the bravery to do what Our Lady asked to bring peace to the world, but alas, we have had popes not as strong as St. Pius X since his pontificate. Pope Benedict XV sadly lowered the defenses somewhat. Supposedly, the Church got too strong, according to some, but look at what has happened today as the result of the easygoing weakness of Catholics, recalling something St. Pius X said about the weakness of easygoing Catholics.

What? Does John Vennari believes he's a mason?

I don't know Cardinal Rampolla but I wonder if he's really a mason. Got to search more about him.

I am quite famialiar with Mr. Hiembichners bogus work. He and Mr Vennari are phoney 'trad' Catholics spreading a bogus story. And FM gives me a hard time for putting the truth of Boniface right in front of his eyes.

The 'OTO manifesto' is a fraudulent docuмent. St Pius X appointed Card Rampolla Arch-Priest of Vatican Cathedral. The idea that St Pius would have been a big enough of an idiot to appoint a satanist personal custodian of the relics of St. Peter is so absurd---and at the same time the Hexagram is right in front of everyones face on the throne of Boniface.

This is not an attack on Msg Jouin----no one gets everything right===he was fed a bogus docuмent that was cooked up to Keep Card Rampolla(a member of the anti-Dreyfus faction w Leo/XIII) from the papacy. Card Raphael is also a Rampollite.

Mr Hiembichners attempt to show that Pius X suspected something wrong with Card Rampolla is juvenile at best--he misquotes his own sources: Chiron's book doesn't even say what he claims it says when Mr Hiembichner tries to show that Pius suspected something wrong with the Cardinal.

And the Dimaond Bros are one of the factions pushing this rumor---are you a 'Feeneytite' FM?
