Introduction by editors to the American edition of
The Plot Against the Church (book author is Maurice Pinay)

This historically important book will, in all probability, be attacked as being anti-Semitic. Let nobody be led astray or distracted, however, from a serious and scientific consideration of the incontrovertible facts here set out. We are concerned with a major factor of history, and more especially of the history of the Christian Church. No crude, negative and destructive anti-Semitism comes into question. That the Jєωs have played a tremendous and not always beneficial role in the whole story of mankind is obvious; that their activities were not always friendly to Christianity and to the non-Jєωιѕн peoples is obvious, and there is an enormous fund of evidence from Jєωιѕн as well as other sources of unshakable authority to prove this.
This work of great erudition displays not only a knowledge of events past, but shows also that its compilers had had knowledge of events to conic in some immensely important respects. As readers will see from the Foreword to a German-language edition, the first edition of this work, in Italian, began by stating that its authors knew that the purpose of calling the Second Vatican Council was to persuade it to declare that the Jєωs were not responsible for the Crucifixion of Our Savior, i.e.. they were not guilty of deicide, and this book appeared before the first session of the Council. Subsequently, as forecast, this proposal was put forward, great pressures were applied to get it accepted, and something, even if diluted, was agreed upon at the end.
Now it cannot be denied, even apart from the essence of the proposal itself, that the fact that any Jєωs, however representative or otherwise of most of their co-religionists and co-racialists, could do what they had done at the very highest levels of the Catholic Church, is a matter of tremendous significance to Catholics and all others, even to non-Christians.
And not only was it possible to find men at the summit of the Hierarchy to further this project, but the Council appeared to contain a large number of bishops who, at the least, did ii not seem to understand the importance of the problem.
None can sit in judgment on those concerned; it is understandable that the Jєωs want to “improve their image”, especially as they have the power to do so. The lessons to be drawn are, surely, not that the Jєωs as such or any who have been misled should he the objects of severe criticism, but that the facts, the truth concerning all matters of great importance, and especially when they affect the purity and influence of the Church, should be made widely known. In this all Churches should help with a sense of urgency.
However, it should be pointed out to the Jєωs concerned, that instead of trying to improve their reputation and increase their influence by fostering deceptions and attacking basic Christian traditions, they would serve their own true interests best by first setting their own hearts and attitude toward others aright. Again and again they have overreached themselves over the centuries, and then complained at the results for which they alone were responsible.
In particular, this recent initiative in Rome has merely served to draw the attention of intelligent and decent men to a matter of immediate concern to all. It is the obvious duty of all who may read this book to make its contents known and to encourage all their friends to acquire, read and spread it.

Introduction by editors to the Italian edition of
The Plot Against the Church (book author is Maurice Pinay)

The must infamous conspiracy is in progress against the Church. Her enemies are working to destroy the most holy traditions and thus to introduce dangerous and evil-intended reforms, such as those of Calvin, Zwingli and other false teachers once attempted./ They  manifest a hypocritical zeal to modernize the Church and to adapt it to the present day situation; but in reality they conceal the secret intention of opening the gates to Communism, to hasten the collapse of the free World, and to prepare the further destructon of Christianity. All this it is intended to put into effect at the coming Vatican Council.  We have proofs of how everything is being planned in secret agreement with the leading forces of Communism, of world Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and of the secret power directing these.
It is intended to first carry out a probe and to begin with the reforms which encounter less resistance from the defenders of Holy Church, in order to then gradually extend the range, as weakening resistance allows this.
In addition, we have confirmation of what will still he unbelievable for those who are not initiated, namely that the anti-Christian forces have at their disposal in the ranks of the Church dignitaries, a veritable “Fifth Column” of agents who are the unconditional tools of Communism and of the secret power directing it. For it has been revealed that those cardinals, archbishops and bishops, who form a kind of ‘progressive wing within the Council, will attempt to bring about  a break-through of shameful reforms, whereby the good faith and the eagerness for progress of many devout Council Fathers  will be deceived.
The assurance has been given that the Progressive block forming at the beginning of the Synod will he able to count upon the support of the Vatican. in which, so it is said. those anti-Christian forces possess influence. This appears unbelievable to us and sounds more like boastful arrogance bv the enemies of the Church than sober reality.  However, we mention this, so that one sees how far the enemies of Catholicism and of the Free World risk revealing themselves. Apart from the dangerous reforms in the doctrine of the Church and her traditional policy which stand in open contradiction to what was approved by the preceding popes and Ecuмenical Councils, it is desired that the Excommunication Bulls uttered by his Holiness Popc Pius XII against the Communists and their lackeys be declared nullified.
In this manner the effort is made to establish a peaceful coexistence with the Communists, which, on the one side would be harmful to the regard for Holy Church in the eyes of Christians who fight against materialistic and atheistic Communism, and on the other side veaken the morale of these fighters, hasten their defeat and would have as a consequence dissolution in their own ranks, in order in such a wav to ensure the world-wide triumph of Red totalitarianism. Concern is taken that Protestants and Orthodox are in no way invited who fight heroically against Communism, but rather more only those Churches and Church counselors, who stand under the influence of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ, of Communism and the secret power directing them. In this manner the Freemasons and Communists disguised in priestly robes, who have usurped the leading posts in such churches, work together concealed  and in a subtle way, but also very effectively with their accomplices who have infiltrated the Catholic clergy.
On its side the Kremlin has already decided to refuse known anti-Communist prelates an exit visa, and only to allow their unconditional agents or those who without being the latter, have bowed out of fear of Red reprisals, to travel from the satellite states. Thus at the Second Vatican Council the Church will experience the silence of those who could defend her best of all and could enlighten the Holy Synod concerning what takes place in the Communist world.
This will undoubtedly seem incredible to those who read it, but the events at the Holy Ecuмenical Council will open their eyes and convince them that we are speaking the truth. For it is there that the enemy intends to play a trump card, whereby it, so we are assured, will have on its side unconditional accomplices among the highest Church dignitaries. A further disastrous plan, which is being prepared, is that the Church shall contradict itself, so as a result to sacrifice its regard with the faithful; for later it will be broadcast, that an institution which contradicts itself cannot be divine. With this proof they wish to desolate the Churches and achieve that the faithful lose their confidence in the clergy and abandon them.
It is intended to cause the Church to declare that what it has represented for centuries as bad, is now good. Among such maneuvers spun for this purpose, one particularly stands out on account of its importance, and refers in fact to the conduct of Holy Church towards the damned Jєωs, as Saint Augustine calls them; and this in reference both to those who nailed Christ to the cross, as also to their descendants who are both arch-enemies of Christianity. The unanimous doctrine of the great Church Fathers, that “unanimus consensus Patrum” which the Church regards as source of faith, condemned the unbelieving Jєωs and declared the struggle against them to be good and necessary.
For example, in this struggle, participated, as we will prove by means of irrefutable evidence, the following Saints: Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan; Saint Hieronymus, Saint Augustine, Bishop of Hippo; Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Athanasius, Saint Gregory of nαzιansus, Saint Basil, Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Saint Isidor of Sevilla, Saint Bernard and even Tertullian, as well as Origenes, the latter two during the period of their indisputable orthodoxy. In addition the Church fought energetically for nineteen centuries against the Jєωs, as we will likewise prove by means of reliable docuмents, and among which are found the following: Papal Bulls, Protocols of the Ecuмenical and Provincial Councils, as well as the highly renowned Fourth Lateran Council and many others, the teachings of Saint Thomas of Aquinas, Duns Scotus and of the most important doctors of the Church. In addition we will quote Jєωιѕн sources of indisputable authenticity, like the official Encyclopedias of Jєωry, the works of famous rabbis, as well as of the most well known Jєωιѕн historians.
The Jєωιѕн Freemasonic and Communist plotters now have the intention at the coming Council by utilizing, as they assert, the lack of knowledge of most clergy concerning the true history of the Church, to execute a surprise coup, by their adopting the standpoint at the assembled Holy Ecuмenical Council that anti-Semitism must be condemned, as well as every struggle against the Jєωs who, as we will elaborate, are the wire-pullers of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and of international Communism.  They would like that the infamous Jєωs whom the Church has regarded as evil for the course of nineteen centuries, to be declared as good and beloved of God. As a result the “unanimus consensus Patrum” would be contradicted, which laid down exactly the opposite, as well as what also found its expression through various Papal Bulls and Canons of Ecuмenical as well as Provincial Councils.
Since the Jєωs and their accomplices pillory every struggle within the Catholic Church against the wickedness of the former as well as the plots directed against Christ our Lord  (as anti-Semitism), we will likewise reveal in this book that Christ himself, the Gospels and tbe Catholic Church can be included among the sources of anti-Semitism, since they campaigned for nearly two thousand years against those who denied their Messiah.
With the condemnation of anti-Semitism, which at times is called anti-Semitic racialism, it is wished to attain that his Holiness the Pope and the assembled Council, in condemnation of anti-Semitism, experience the catastrophic event that the Church contradicts itself, and therefore without giving account to this, silently also condemn Christ our Lord, Himself, as well as the Holy Gospels, the Church Fathers and most popes, among them Gregory VII (Hildebrand), Innocence II, Innocence III, Pius V, and Leo XIII, who as we will show in this book, have fought bitterly against the Jєωs and the “ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan”.
With such condemnation it would be successful to simultaneously place countless Church Councils in the dock, aniong them the Ecuмenical Councils of Nicaea and the Second, Third and Fourth Lateran Councils, whose Canons we will subject in this book to a thorough investigation, and which carried on an energetic struggle against the Hebrews. To put it in few words, the infamous plotters have the scheme in mind that Holy Church, by its condemning anti-Semitism, condemns itself, whereby one can easily amplify the disastrous consequences.
It was already attempted at the last Vatican Council, even if in disguised form, to alter course in the traditional doctrines of the Church, when it was successful by means of a surprise maneuver and lasting pressure, to influence countless Church Fathers to signing of “a Postulate in favor of the Jєωs.” Misusing the Apostolic zeal of the devout prelates, it was first spoken of a summons to conversion of the Israelites, which regarded from the theological viewpoint is an intention without fault; but later they innoculated the secret poison in form of assertions, which, as we will reveal in the course of this work, stand in open contradiction to the doctrine which Holy Church has laid down in this respect.
But upon this occasion, when the “ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan” believed to have secured the approval of the postulate on the part of the Council, God, who always stands by his Church, prevented that the mystical body of Christ contradicted itself and fructified the plots of its thousand years old enemy. The Franco-Prussian war broke out unexpectedly. Napoleon had to hastily withdraw the troops protecting the Pontificate, and the army of Victor Emanuel prepared to take Rome. Therefore the 1st Holy Vatican Council had to be hastily dissolved, and the prelates returned to their dioceses before a general discussion concerning the postdate in question was able to begin.
This was, however, not the first time that divine providence held up such a misfortune by means of something extraordinary. History shows us that it has done it in numerous cases, whereby it mostly made use of the popes and devout prelates as medium; among the latter we include Saint Athanasius, Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Saint Leanero, Cardinal Avmerico, and even such humble monks as Saint Bernard or Saint John of Capistranus.  In other cases than those previously mentioned, it even made use of ambitious monarchs, as the example of Victor Emanuel, the King of Italy reveals.
When in the middle of the past year we experienced how the  enemy was preparing renewed attempts to unleash a plot which would open the gates to Communism, prepare the collapse of the free world and deliver Holy Church into the claws of the “ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan,” we began, without losing any time, to collect docuмents and to write the following work which is intended to be less a book with a certain disputed tendency, than far more an ordered summary of Council records, Papal Bulls and all kinds of docuмents and sources, with which we leave out those whose reliability or truthfulness is doubtful, and select those which possess indisputable truth.
In this book not only the plot is uncovered, which Communism and the “ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan” have entered upon against the 2nd Vatican Council, but also the preceding cօռspιʀαcιҽs, which were recorded in the course of Nineteen centuries as cases of precedence, are subject to a thorough illumination.  For what is intended shall occur at the new assembled Holy Synod, has already occurred repeatedly in the past centuries. In order to grasp what will occur to the full extent, it is therefore unavoidable to know the cases of precedence as well as the nature of that hostile “Fifth Column” infiltrated into the bosom of the clergy, This purpose is served by the extensive investigation of the Fourth Part, which rests upon a faultless proof of sources.
Since in addition attention is drawn to that the Holy Chair and the Second Vatican Council might abandon certain traditions of the Church, in order to grant aid to the triumph of Communism and of Freemasonr y, we lay at basis of the two first parts of this work a minute study, whereby we cite the two most serious sources concerning what one can call the quintessence of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and of atheistic Communism, and investigate the nature of the secret power directing it. Even if the fourth part of this book is the most important, then nevertheless the first three, and above all, the third, made comprehensible the plot threatening Holy Church in its entire circuмference. This plot is not restricted to its activity during the coming universal Synod but extends far more to the entire feature of the Church. For the enemy has already calculated that if for some reasons at the Holy Synod strong defensive forces awaken against its planned reforms and these should bring about the failure of its intentions at the Second Vatican Council, it will use at a later point any kind of opportunity to return to its plan, in which respect it would know how to utilize the strong influence which it pretends to have with the Holy Chair.
We are naturally convinced of the fact that in spite of the intrigues of the enemy, the support, which God always grants His Church, will also cause its criminal machinations to fail this time. It is also written: “The Powers of Hell shall not triumph over them.”
Unfortunately for writing this very docuмentary book we have used more than fourteen months, and there remain only two until the opening of the Second Vatican Council. God will help us to overcome all resistance, in order to have ready the printing of this work either by beginning of the Synod or at least before the enemy can cause the first harm. If we are also aware that the Lord God will not permit a catastrophe, then we must nevertheless keep before our eyes, what all outstanding Saints expressed: that although we know that all depends upon God, we should nevertheless act as if everything depends upon us. And as Saint Bernard said in a similar grave crisis to that of the present: “Pray to God and hit out with the stick.”
The second volume of this work will comprise Part V and VI of the same: Its publication will naturally be awaited so that the reactions of the enemy and their customary slanders can be answered in an impressive and decisive way.

Foreword by editors to the Austrian edition of
The Plot Against the Church (book author is Maurice Pinay)
On grounds of numerous requests, which have reached us from the ranks of the Austrian and German clergy, we have decided to print the Austrian edition of the book, Plot Against the Church.
The Fathers of the Second Vatican Council, to whom this work was dedicated, had occasion to establish in the course of the Holy Synod, that our warning voice with regard to the existence of a veritable plot against the most holy traditions of the Church and its defensive powers in the face of atheistic Communism found their full justification through the course of the first part of the Holy Council. This shows that our assertions correspond to a tragic truth.
The events of the coming months will provide our readers with the confirmation that our revelations rest on an incredible but regrettable reality. The enemies of the Church renewed the attempt at the first sitting of the world-embracing  Synod, by means of their accomplices in the high clergy, to abnegate or to narrow the tradition of the Church and its character as source of revelation. This had already been striven for before them by the Waldenses, the Hussites and other Mediaeval heretics, as well as later by Calvin, Zwingli and additional false teachers; only that this time all this is fought for under the cloak of the high ideal, inspiring us all, of Christian unity, while the heretics of those times cited for substantiation of the same thesis further diverse and sophisticated arguments.
To attempt that the Church deny the tradition of its character as source of doctrine and to admit such an attribute only to the Holy Bible, comes more or less equal to the intention of causing it to contradict itself. This would accordingly mean that that was declared to be black which had been maintained for almost twenty centuries to be white; and in fact with the devastating result that the mystical body of Christ on grounds of contradiction would sacrifice its respect with the faithful, since indeed an institution which contradicts itself in its essence, can with difficulty be called divine.
 A step of this kind would bring Holy Church into such an impossible situation, that it could riot be justified through the wishful image of the longed for Christian unity, whose  realization at the moment would be very problematic. But should this dream become fact on such absurd basis, then this would signify that Holy Church recognizes to have been caught up in error and its faithful would, as it result, turn, en masse, to Protestantism, whose essential postulate has always been, from of old, to recognize solely and alone the Bible as its source of true revelation and to refuse such a character to the tradition of the Catholic Church.
It is incomprehensible that the enemies of Catholicism and their accomplices in the high clergy have possessed the audacity to go so far. This also proves that what was prophesied in our book written before the Holy Council, has found its confirmation through the launching of the same and that the enemy possessed infiltrated accomplices in the high clergy who occupied the highest positions. As we in fact learned from well-informed sources, upon appearance of this hook and after its distribution among the Council Fathers, the enemies first made a halt from bringing before the Council more daring  proposals, which apart from the program of the day, they had kept in readiness for the last few days of the Council. Among such proposals was found that which had the aim of demanding the lifting of the Excommunication Bulls directed by Pope Pius XII against the Communists and their lackeys, as likewise the establishing of a peaceful coexistence between Church and Communism, and finally the condemnation of anti-Semitism.
This step in retreat, which was forced by reason of the accusation in this book, may only be of partial duration.  It is hoped that a careful propaganda, worked out in agreement with the Kremlin, will soften the resistance of those defending Holy Church in favor of the setting up of a peaceful co-existence with atheistic Communism.  It is intended to attempt to weaken the defensive powers of the Church and of the free world, in which support of the Red dictator can be relied upon, who in return would release the prelates imprisoned for many years, direct letters of good wishes to his Holiness the Pope and display further signs of visible friendship towards the Church.  All this in order to bring weighty arguments in favor of the accomplices of the KremIin who  have infiltrated into the high clergy to give power to a lifting of the excommunication Bulls and to bring about a pact of the Holy Chair with Communism.
In alliance with certain accomplices, who have nested themselves in the highest spheres of the Vatican, it is even planned in Moscow to take up diplomatic relations between Holy Church and the atheistic as well as materialistic Soviet State, under the pretence that as a result, an easing of the religious persecution in Russia could be introduced.
1n reality, it is the aim of the Kremlin and its agents from the ranks of the Church hierarchy to demoralize the Catholics, as well their heroic clergy, who    in Europe and the rest of world, fight heroically against Communism, in that they wish to provide the impression that the latter are in fact not so bad, after the Holy Chair has decided to take up diplomatic relations with tile Soviet Union and other Communist states.
It is therefore also intended to cripple the fighting spirit of the North American anti-Communists; for through this step they would see themselves weakened in their struggle against the dark forces which seek to draw even the United States into the Communist chaos. In a word, it is intended, as we have already made clear in the introduction to the Italian edition, to cripple the defensive powers of the free world and to level the way for the final triumph of atheistic Marxism.
But the arrogance of Communism, of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and of the Jєωs goes so far that they already speak of bringing the next papal election under their control with the intention of placing one of their accomplices in the dignified cardinals collegium on the throne of Saint Peter. Therefore they intend  with aid of the influence which they claim to have in the Vatican, to exercise a pressure upon his Holiness the Pope, whose health is under much strain, in order to occasion him to appoint a large number of new cardinals, even if the latter shall exceed the highest number provided for. In this manner they will attain the necessary number of supporters, which is intended to secure the election of a Pontiff who transforma Holy Church into a satellite in the service of Communism of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ  and of the “ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan.”
But the forces of the anti-Christ do not reckon with the support which our Lord God will grant to His Church in order to prevent that such a maneuver gains the upper hand.
It suffices to recall that this is not the first time in history that such an attempt has been experienced. As we prove in this book by means of undoubtedly authentic docuмents, it was successful for the powers of the “devilish dragon” to enthrone a cardinal as Pope, who was directed by the forces of Satan and at times gave the appearance, as if the latter might be the Lords of the Church. Christ, our Lord, who has never abandoned His Church, provided such devout men as Saint Bernard, Saint Norbert, Cardinal Avmerico, the Fathers of the Councils of Etampes, Rheims and Pisa, as well as those of the Second Ecuмenical Lateran Council, with the courage to act and armed their hands. They all divested Cardinal Pierleoni — this wolf in sheep’s clothing, who for many years was able to usurp the throne of Saint Peter — divested him of his papal dignity, excommunicated him and attributed to him the role of anti-Pope, which fitted him.
The plans of the Kremlin, of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and of the “ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan,” are, however advanced they may seem, nevertheless nullified by the visible Hand of God. For as in all times, men will arise like Saint Athanasius, Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Bernard and Saint John Capistranus, who hold firm to the inspiration and strength which Christ, our Lord, chooses to provide them, in order in this or that form, to cause the disastrous plot to fail, which once again dark forces of the anti-Christ instigate to aid to victory the world-wide triumph of totalitarian Imperialism from Moscow.
We saw ourselves compelled in the first Italian edition, to leave out eleven chapters of the fourth part from this book; and in fact, by reason of the haste which we had in order to distribute this work among the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council, before the beast could cast forth the first blows of its paws. But since we have more time at our disposal in the printing of this edition, we have added the eleven chapters in question, which are of fundamental importance for the better understanding of the devilish plot which threatens Holy Church in our days.
The Editors
Preface by editors to the German edition of
The Plot Against the Church (book author is Maurice Pinay)
The following book was compiled by a group of idealists, who are Catholics of strict belief and who as Catholics firmly believe that the Catholic Church now passes through one of the most dangerous periods in its history.
In order to reveal what dangers threaten the Catholic Church, in particular from International Communism and also from other International organizations, this Idealist group undertook the enormous task of compilation and editing this book with use of numerous docuмents of the Middle Ages and recent times.
The Italian edition has already appeared and is already in the hands of the high clergy and other interested places. Editions in other languages are in preparation.
The authors believe that it is vital that the German Catholic Church has this work in its hands, in order from the docuмents summarized in this work, to be able to gain authentic information concerning historical facts from the struggle and life of the Catholic Church.
The authors must beg forgiveness that it was not possible to once again edit the German work stylistically. They know that the style in many chapters leaves much to be desired, and that repetitions also occur, which could have been prevented. The authors call only promise their highly esteemed readers that all these faults will be avoided in an eventual new edition.  But they hope nevertheless that this work will find recognition and interest, and that their idealistic and selfless work for the well-being of our Catholic Church has at least the success so that the German leaders of the Catholic Church are informed about historical facts which are certainly completely unknown to the public.
Madrid, 1963. The Authors
Prologue by editors to the Spanish edition of
The Plot Against the Church (book author is Maurice Pinay)
A Sensational Book
The facts confirm that the term “sensational,” applied to the book, Plot Against the Church (Complot Contra La Iglesia), is not exaggerated. Following the first Italian edition, distributed in the Fall of 1962 among the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council, the press of different countries of the world began to make commentaries on this book, the reading of which is of capital importance not only for Catholics, but also for all free men.
It can be stated without fear of exaggeration, that no book in the present century has been the object of so many commentaries in the world press; virulently unfavorable were those of communist newspapers and those controlled by Masons or Jєωs; and extremely favorable were those commentaries of some Catholic newspapers which are independent of those obscure forces, and which have had, in addition, the courage and the possibility to express their points of view freely. Even one year after the distribution of the first Italian edition in the Vatican Council, the press of different countries of the world is still occupied with this extraordinary book — a thing truly unusual in matters of publicity.
In order that the reader may be informed of the importance of this work, we quote here some interesting paragraphs that the Rome correspondent of the Catholic newspaper, Agora, of Lisbon, edition of March 1, 1963, page 7, tells his readers:
“We are going to refer to a publication which came out some time ago in Rome. In addition to other information, we were able to obtain a copy of this book, which in two months became a bibliographic rarity . . . The book was printed in a Roman publishing house, but when the present authorities in Italy, the Christian Democrats, favorable to Marxism, took note of its publication, the copies of the thick volume of 617 pages had already been distributed among the Fathers of the Ecuмenical Council.  This  produced alarm, both in the Vatican government as well as in the diplomatic world and in parties of the left. For several days the printing house was visited by the highest police authorities, who obtained only the statement that the printing of the book had been ordered, and that the cost of the edition had been paid in full. The leftist press attacked it furiously. . .
“The exceptional importance of the book resides principally in one fundamental element, and that is whether the book has one or several authors.  Any person of elemental culture can divine that the compilation has been made by clerics. Naturally, the most diverse versions have appeared in respect to this matter. There are those that affirm that they (the authors) were Italian prelates, in collaboration with elements of English Catholicism.  Others speak of a group of priests, including some bishops, from an unidentified country of South America. . . This work, because of the enormous importance of its scrupulous, erudite, and minutely detailed docuмentation, is not just one more of those products of anti-Semitism based on the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (which are in no way used in the book).
“In the pages, arguments and style of the book, is revealed the presence of Catholic clerics, in battle against the eternal heresy, which has always tended to subvert the religious, ethical, and historical bases of Catholicism, employing successively Simon the Magician, Arius, Nestor,  the Albigenses, and in the present day the leftist of the Ecuмenical Council.”
So much for the quotations of the interesting commentary made about The Plot Against the Church by the Catholic Portuguese newspaper, Agora.
Nevertheless, the version predominant in Rome as in the world press, is that the sensational book was prepared by no more nor less than distinguished elements of the Roman Curia, which is, as is known, the supreme government of the Church, auxiliary of His Holiness the Pope in the highest functions. It is repeatedly affirmed that the work ,The Plot Against the Church, is one of the greatest efforts of the Roman Curia to cause the destruction of those reforms which the left wing of the Catholic clergy is attempting to bring about — reforms,  if realized, would completely subvert the bases on which the Holy Church rests.
There are newspapers which have been even more explicit, which affirm that it was the so-called “Syndicate of Cardinals” who prepared the book. It is necessary to explain that the Masons, the communists, and their accomplices have given the name “Syndicate of Cardinals” to the heroic group of cardinals of the Roman Curia who are struggling in the Second Vatican Council to prevent a group of the clergy — which in a strange manner is found at the service of Masonry and communism — from imposing on the Holy Synod a whole series of theses, subversive, and some heretical, designed to cause ruin of the Church.  Such ruin will never be consummated, because it is written: “the gates of Hell shall not prevail against her,” although, the Apocalypse of Saint John also prophecies that such infernal forces will achieve great temporal triumphs, after which they will be conquered and destroyed.
So as not to prolong this Prologue, we will only transcribe in continuation that which an important Latin American newspaper has to say regarding Masonic and communist tendencies.  We refer to the weekly, Tiempo, published in Mexico City by Mr. Martin Luiz Guzman, a distinguished Hierarch of Masonry, who says in referring to the bishops called progressive:
“The rebellion of the bishops was considered as the beginning of heresy by Ottaviani and other Cardinals of the ,Syndicate.  Even the possibility that the Council would depose the Pope if it considered him a heretic, was mentioned in L’Osservatore Romano. The ‘Syndicate’ (of Cardinals) then edited, October 1962, a libel entitled ‘The Plot Against the Church’, having the pseudonym, “Maurice Pinay”: (Number 1119, Volume XIII, page 60, October 14, 1963).”
What gives this hook definite, provable worth is that it deals with a magnificent and imposing compilation of docuмents and sources of undeniable importance and authenticity, which demonstrates with no room for doubt, the existence of a great conspiracy, which the traditional enemies of the Church have prepared against Holy Catholic and against the Free World. These (enemies) are attempting to convert Catholicism into a blind instrument in the service of communism, Masonry, and Judaism, in order to weaken free humanity with it and to facilitate its ruin, and with this ruin, the definite victory of atheistic communism. The most useful instruments in this conspiracy bare those Catholic clergymen who, betraying Holy Church, attempt to destroy her most loyal defenders, while   at the same time they assist in every way they can, communists, Mason and Jєωs, in their subversive activities.
In this edition, we attempt to alert not only Catholics, but also all the anti-communists of Venezuela and of Latin America, so that they nay realize the grave dangers which at present threaten not only the Catholic Church, but Christianity and the free world in general, and so that they may offer all their support to that deserving group of cardinals, archbishops and bishops who are now fighting in the Vatican Council and in their respective countries against the external and internal enemies of the Holy Church and of the free world; those enemies which, with satanic perseverance, are trying to destroy the most sacred traditions of Catholicism, and to submerge us and our children in frightful communist slavery.

Further Evidence of Enemy Occupation
Cyril B. Andrade, M.D.
In the late nineteen sixties a man died in a hospital in France as the result of a car accident. This man was a communist who became a Catholic priest (he was ordained in the early forties) to be better able to destroy the Church. Not expecting a sudden and violent death, he was writing his memoirs which were found in his briefcase by the nurse who looked after him in the hospital to which he was admitted. The nurse searched the papers, including the memoirs in his briefcase in the hope of finding out the man’s name and identity in order to inform his people, but all she was able to discover was that the man was a Slav — a Pole and a priest.
Full details of the revelations in the “memoirs” were published in a booklet entitled Anti-Priests by Yves Dupont (Tenet Books, P.O. Box 180, Hawthorn, Vic.3122, Australia) but suffice it to mention here that this “priest”, when he was about the age of 20, was recruited, after many years of study of communist methods, into the Communist Party by a high ranking official of the Russian Secret Police who told him:
“ I am going to send you abroad to become a militant atheist on the world scene. Your main duty will be to fight all religions, but the Catholic religion in particular, because of its efficient structures. In order to achieve this, you will enter the seminary and become a Catholic priest.”
He was given the code number SS 1025, the significance of which is that there were 1024 communist infiltrations into the Catholic Church before him. And that was in 1938, when the Soviets did not control half of Europe as they did just prior to the break-up of the USSR. What was the extent of communist penetration into the Church in, say, 1981 or even in 1962 when the Second Vatican Council was convened?
It is not unreasonable to suppose that it was much deeper than in 1938, and it is almost certain that many of these agents are now — and were at the time of the Second Vatican Council — bishops and cardinals. Moreover, to any impartial observer of Vatican affairs since 1963, it is fairly certain that some are now occupying, and have occupied in recent years, high positions in the Vatican itself. That this is not idle speculation is borne out by what has been said in the preceding sections and in what follows. Here are some excerpts from the “memoirs”:
“ I was to inject into Catholic thinking a whole set of new values and a new train of thought. I was to foster remorse in their hearts, a gnawing sense of guilt … That sense of guilt must grow into an obsession to the point of rehabilitating Martin Luther. They will be made to believe that schisms and heresies were caused by their own intransigence, that the time had come for them to atone and make reparation to their Protestant brethren and confessing their own sin of pride and stubbornness … We shall speak of man, stress his dignity and nobility. We must transform the language and thinking of every Catholic. We must foster the mystique of the human race ...We shall say that since God is invisible, the best way to serve him is to set up a universal Church in which all men can meet as brothers   … We shall deify man.
“Once Catholics have accepted this new mystique, we shall tell them to strip their Churches bare of statues and ornaments because these things are unessential and abhorrent to their Protestant and Jєωιѕн brethren. Thus all symbols of Catholic worship and devotion will go by the board, and when they are gone, devotion will also go ... It would be a good idea, too, to spread a ‘prophesy’ that says: ‘You shall see married priests and you shall hear the Mass in the language of the people’ ... We shall incite women to assert their right to the priesthood and we shall make the Mass more popular by allowing home Masses that can be said by the father or mother of the family.
“Once, in Rome, I met a priest-professor who was in our network. He was a scholar and a scriptural-expert. He was then busy preparing a new English version of the Bible … In that version the old clichés about the virginity of Mary, the Real Presence and like fables were to be adroitly amended and re-interpreted.  Instead of “virgin”, Mary will be called “maid”; the Real Presence will be explained as a feeling or experience, when Christians are gathered together in His name … Later, of course, the Mass will be radically modified; we shall play down the sacrificial aspect; we shall exalt it as a meal taken by the community.
“In case some reactionary priests refuse to conform and insist on saying the old prayers, we shall direct that the Canon in its entirety be said aloud. This will also make it possible for the people to say the words with the prie8t, and once this is possible, we shall rule that it is indispensable also. Thus the Mass will cease to be the privilege of the priest alone.    
“The professor was already working on a draft of a New Order of the Mass, .and he urged me to do likewise, because, he said, it was greatly desirable that we should give the people different kinds of Masses; this will help destroy unity, the mainstay of Catholic power. All this would be a great deal easier if we succeeded in having one of our agents elected as Pope. Failing this, however, we would probably be able to sway the cardinals sufficiently to obtain the election of a progressive pope who will ratify whatever our agents put on his desk in the name of progress.
“One day as we were strolling through the streets of Rome he (the professor) said: ‘I imagine this city without a cassock in sight; how wonderful it would be!’  ‘Yes,’ I nodded, ‘the cassock must go’ ... from my Catholic upbringing I understood how vocations often assert themselves in young children: in his cassock the priest stands out as a man different from the rest. The child likes him and wants to emulate him. But destroy the cassock and you will destroy the priest. In this way vocations will die in the bud.
“Thus I labored for twenty long years. Pius XII died in 1958. When John XXIII announced a new Council, my interest was greatly stimulated. I reported to my chiefs that this was perhaps the last battle: no effort should be spared. They were obviously of the same opinion because they immediately appointed me to the highest position in the West European network, and gave me unlimited financial backing through our bank in Switzerland. Hearing Pope John had appointed a commission to draw up the schemas for the forthcoming Council, I immediately started work on counter-schemas with the help of avant-garde theologians who had been won over to our way of thinking.
“Thanks to my contacts I managed to obtain copies of the projected papal schemas: they were terrible! I was in a cold sweat! If these schemas were carried my work of 20 years will have been in vain. I hastily put the finishing touches to my counter-schemes and I circulated them. Eventually they were tabled in the Council. Thanks to the cooperation of some bishops whose thinking had been conditioned previously, the majority of bishops, reactionary but ill-prepared, were completely disconcerted by the highly efficient and coherent interventions of our friends: most of my counter-schemas were carried.    
“But I am not satisfied: many of my schemes, although they were accepted, have been watered down by Pope Paul himself in contempt of the majority vote at the Council. Fortunately, the revised versions contain many ambiguities; in this manner, it will be possible to initiate further changes, alleging that they are in the spirit of the Council. At any rate, Pope Paul is a progressive and a humanist; it should not be difficult to manipulate him and obtain sweeping changes in the near future. However, we must begin to work for Vatican III even now. Vatican III, as I see it, will mean the destruction of the Church and the death of God ... then I shall come forward not to nail Christ upon the Cross, but God Himself into His coffin.”

Masonic membership records
Available now (originally by Dr. Andrade) from origins10@verizon.net is a list of cardinals, bishops, archbishops, prelates and some Catholic laymen who are Freemasons. The list, compiled in Sept 1978, notes dates joined and in most cases, the Masonic code number and code names.  It is difficult to conceive that this massive listing could be fraudulent.
Conclusion
Diverse comments in this paper about the book, Plot Against the Church, together with the several papers I have made available on this subject, provides an abundance of evidence to clearly show that the Church is under enemy occupation.  What I have been able to assemble in those papers is only the tip of the iceberg.
Do not blindly trust the so-called pope, cardinals, bishops and priests, a very large number of whom, are wolves in sheep’s clothing who have infiltrated the Church and are holding key positions in order to wreck Her from within.
Do not blindly accept the pontifications of Vatican II, that infamous, iniquitous and heretical Council which was controlled and manipulated by International Jєωry with its handmaidens Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and Communism.
