I've read several books about how the Masons are infiltrating the Church to try to weaken it.. no, actually, destroy it.. They have never read Mt 16:18 where Jesus says essentially that the Church is indestructible..

still

looks like they are doing a good job

Nothing new here:

from http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09771a.htm

The action of the Church is summed up in the papal pronouncements against Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ since 1738, the most important of which are:
.



These pontifical utterances from first to last are in complete accord, the latter reiterating the earlier with such developments as were called for by the growth of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and other secret societies.

Obviously the first pronouncement was not effective or enough to stop the encroachment, so that now we see clearly in Vatican II and the Novus Ordo the success they have achieved.

They say that Russia was comprised of only 2% Jєωs before 1917, and after the Communists took over that country, the Jєωs comprised 80% of the new Soviet Socialist Republic.

My point being, it doesn't take much infiltration to cause a big problem. Judas Iscariot was one man.

The problem we are having today was allowed by Christ as punishment, and He previously sent Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima to tell us what the preventative/solution would be.

The Freemasons and modernists were a very small part, but they took the clergy off-balance just enough so when the clergy were faced with a massive nuclear¹ threat against Rome and perhaps the families of the Cardinals, it was enough to throw things into confusion, and the wrong people to gain control.
