Hi. Has anyone read "The Undermining of the Catholic Church" by Mary Ball Martinez? I found out about it by reading Cathinfo and I found a link to a website where you can read it for free online. I wanted to see what others thought about it before I read the whole book. Thanks.

For research purposes, the book is loaded with some great information. It is dead wrong in saying Pius IX was involved with the masons, a lie which Ven. Pius IX himself in a formal allocution, called "the darkest of calumnies".

It unmasks the "Rampolla clique". And shows that under various popes that the Liberal/Modernist "changes" in the Church began being ushered in, decades before the bogus Vat 2 council.

Martinez's research on the Jєωιѕн ancestral background of Eugenio Pacelli and the Pacelli family's direct connection with the Rothschilds family - and Eugenio Pacelli's docuмented work for the Zionist cause in Germany in the 1930's (which shocked German Catholics at the time) is chilling.

why do you people read these books? If you've already left the novus ordo then how is it relevant? Read Aquinas, Augustine, or other church fathers, or something else related to your faith. These books are just a way of wallowing in irrelevant issues instead of deepening your knowledge of catholicism. Try reading scripture. I just don't see how any of this stuff is relevant once you've made the move out of the novus ordo. You people are going to spend your whole live reading books on "how bad the novus ordo is" instead of focusing on the religion you HAVE embraced.
