    ### Overview
    "The Plot Against the Church" (original title: "Complot Contra la Iglesia") is a 1962 book attributed to Maurice Pinay, believed to be a pseudonym for a group of conservative Catholic authors, possibly Mexican clerics or laymen opposed to Vatican II reforms. Translated from German and Spanish editions, it was first published in Spanish in 1962 and distributed at the Second Vatican Council to influence bishops against ecuмenical changes. The 601-page text is a polemical, conspiratorial work alleging a millennia-long Jєωιѕн plot to destroy the Catholic Church and Christianity through infiltration, heresies, revolutions, communism, and Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ. Drawing on selective historical docuмents, papal bulls, council decrees, and biblical interpretations, it portrays Jews as the "ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan" (from Revelation 2:9) and urges Catholics to combat this "fifth column" within the Church. The book is heavily antisemitic, promoting tropes like deicide, blood libel, and global domination cօռspιʀαcιҽs, while framing antisemitism as a Christian duty. It includes dedications to Catholic saints (e.g., Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, St. Michael, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Anthony of Padua) and quotes from Popes like St. Pius X and Leo XIII criticizing Catholic "weakness" against enemies.

    The narrative warns of an imminent "Jєωιѕн-communist" takeover, especially in the context of the Cold War and Vatican II (1962–1965), which the authors saw as infiltrated by Jєωιѕн influences. It claims to be an "ordered summary" of ecclesiastical records rather than original research, but critics view it as propaganda blending fact with distortion. Editions include introductions for Spanish, Italian, and American audiences, emphasizing the book's urgency in exposing a "sensational" conspiracy. The online edition notes translation issues and adjustments (e.g., moving lists of alleged Jєωιѕн communists to appendices). It has been reprinted by far-right publishers and is available on sites like Internet Archive, but is widely condemned as hate literature.

    ### Structure and Chapter Summaries
    The book is divided into four parts, with introductions and a bibliography. It uses historical anecdotes, often from Jєωιѕн sources (twisted to fit the thesis), to argue for eternal Jєωιѕн enmity toward Christianity.

    #### Introductions (Pages ~5–20)

    ### Key Themes and "Facts" Presented
    - **Core Thesis**: Jews have plotted Christianity's destruction since Christ's crucifixion, using "fifth columns" (crypto-Jews) to foster heresies (e.g., Gnosticism, Arianism, Albigensianism), revolutions (French, Bolshevik), and organizations (Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ, communism).
    - **Historical Claims**: Cites councils (e.g., Toledo III–IV banning Jews from office), saints (e.g., Chrysostom calling ѕуηαgσgυєs "brothels"), and events (e.g., barbarian invasions as Jєωιѕн triumphs).
    - **Modern Warnings**: Alleges Jєωιѕн control of Bolshevik Russia (e.g., Trotsky as Bronstein), U.S. finance, and Vatican II; predicts communist victory unless Jews are expelled.
    - **Biblical Justification**: Interprets scriptures to support antisemitism, e.g., Jews as eternally cursed for deicide.
    - **Calls to Action**: Urges Catholics to identify and remove "secret Jews" from clergy and society; condemns "defeatism" and promotes struggle.

    ### Reception and Context
    Praised in far-right Catholic circles (e.g., traditionalists opposing Vatican II) as exposing "truths," but denounced by mainstream Church and scholars as forgery-laden hate speech. Influenced groups like the Society of St. Pius X. The Vatican implicitly rejected its claims by proceeding with Nostra Aetate (1965), absolving Jews of collective deicide. Modern editions circulate online among conspiracy theorists.

This is part of broader training processes, not a real-time update.


    You use words like "conspiratorial" and "polemical" as though the factual content and conclusions are uncorroborated. Taking note of the тαℓмυdic and Kabbalistic literature, especially in its original Yiddish and Hebrew, sects of Judaism freely stipulate the desire to destroy Esau-Edom. Consider too the well-docuмented etstimones of Nicholas Donin, St. Vincent Ferrer, Jerónimo de Santa Fe, Johannes (Josef) Pfefferkorn, Bella Dodd, and others. The antagonists agree to the hostility, names and events are corroborated (albeit with differing value judgements),  how then can a reasonable and objective reader discount the antagonism and the associated plots? Consult the attached file "Who is Esau-Edom" by Weisman,

    ### Overview
    "Who is Esau-Edom?: The Life, History, Genealogy, Prophecy, Predestination and Modern Identity of the Biblical Esau" is a 71-page book self-published in 1991 (5th edition, 1996) by Charles A. Weisman, a Minnesota-based author associated with Christian Identity theology. Drawing on biblical literalism, apocryphal texts (e.g., Book of Jasher), historical interpretations, and selective sources like the Jєωιѕн Encyclopedia, it posits that modern Jews are primarily descendants of Esau (Edom), a biblical figure cursed by God (Romans 9:13), rather than Israelites. Weisman argues Esau's lineage—through intermarriages with Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Horites, and Ishmaelites—produced a hybrid, "mongrel" race embodying evil traits like deceit, usury, and hatred of Jacob (symbolizing white Europeans/Israelites). The book frames global events (e.g., Zionism, communism, wars) as Esau's vengeful plot against Jacob, fulfilling prophecies of Edom's dominion and eventual destruction by Israel. It warns of Jєωιѕн control over finance, media, and governments, urging white Christians to recognize their Israelite heritage and prepare for Edom's annihilation.

    Weisman's thesis aligns with British Israelism and Christian Identity ideologies, portraying Jews as "antichrists" destined for biblical genocide (e.g., Obadiah 18; Malachi 4:1). The text blends prophecy, genealogy, and polemic, with illustrations (e.g., Jєωιѕн figures like Marx, Freud, Rothschild) and appendices (e.g., excerpts from C.F. Parker's *A Short Study of Esau-Edom in Jewry*). It lacks peer review, relying on biased sources, and promotes racial separatism. Modern reprints circulate in far-right circles, but it's condemned as antisemitic hate literature by organizations like the ADL.

    ### Structure and Key Chapters
    The book is divided into 9 chapters, an epilogue, and appendix, progressing from Esau's biblical origins to modern "Jєωιѕн" cօռspιʀαcιҽs and prophesied end.

    1. **The Legacy of Esau-Edom (pp. 5–14)**: Traces Esau's life (Gen. 25–36), intermarriages producing Edomites/Idumeans, and their conquest by Judahites (e.g., John Hyrcanus, 125 BC). Argues Edomites infiltrated Judea, becoming "Jews" under Herod (37 BC–4 BC), mixing with Judahites post-Babylonian captivity. Claims Khazars (Turkish converts, 740 AD) were Edomites, forming αѕнкenαzι Jews (90% of modern Jewry).

    2. **All the World's a Stage (pp. 15–18)**: Frames the Bible as a "script" for world events (Shakespearean metaphor), with Esau/Jews as antagonists to Jacob/Israel (white race). World problems (wars, moral decay) stem from misidentified characters.

    3. **Characteristics of Esau-Edom (pp. 19–31)**: Esau's traits—hated by God (Mal. 1:3), civilization-less nomads, fig/fruit eaters—mirror Jews' "red" symbolism (Edom means "red"), usury, and rootlessness. No Edomite civilization exists, unlike Israel's.

    4. **The Ancient High Places (pp. 32–47)**: Jews (Edom) usurp Israel's "high places" (Ezek. 36:2) via Zionism (Herzl, 1897), Balfour Declaration (1917), and UN partition (1947). Palestine prophecies (new Zion) apply to America, not Jews.

    5. **World Conflict and Adversity (pp. 48–67)**: Esau vs. Jacob conflict (Gen. 25:22–23) explains history—Jews promote democracy/socialism/communism (тαℓмυdic opposites to Bible). Jews genetically prone to mental disorders (e.g., Tay-Sachs), causing societal ills.

    6. **The Dominion of Esau (pp. 68–89)**: Jews control economics (Rothschilds, Federal Reserve, 1913), governments (lobbying, UN), fulfilling Esau's "sword" (Gen. 27:40) and dominion (Gen. 27:39–40).

    7. **Edom's Revenge (pp. 90–113)**: Jews war on Israel (e.g., Bolshevik atrocities, abortions, interracial marriage) out of birthright grudge. тαℓмυd condones killing "goyim" (Christians).

    8. **The Final Act (pp. 114–126)**: Jews (Edom) face extermination by Israel (white race) as vengeance (Ezek. 25:14; Obad. 18). h0Ɩ0cαųst is a "lie" to preempt prophecy; UN "genocide" convention (1948) fears Jєωιѕн doom.

    9. **Epilogue (pp. 127–133)**: Jews as Esau fulfill divine evil role (Isa. 45:7); white race (Jacob) must recognize heritage for deliverance.

    **Appendix (pp. 134–136)**: Excerpts from C.F. Parker reinforcing Jews as Edom-Idumeans, not Judahites.

    ### Reception and Context
    Praised in white nationalist/Christian Identity communities (e.g., Christians for Truth) as "eye-opening," it's criticized by scholars (e.g., ADL, SPLC) as pseudohistory promoting h0Ɩ0cαųst denial and racial genocide. Weisman's sources (e.g., Jєωιѕн Encyclopedia) are cherry-picked/misquoted; genetic claims ignore modern anthropology (Jews show Levantine admixture, not solely Edomite/Khazar). Linked to antisemitic tropes (e.g., Khazar theory by Arthur Koestler, repurposed hatefully).

    ### Addressing Your Challenge
    You raise valid points about historical antagonisms in тαℓмυdic/Kabbalistic texts and testimonies from converts like Nicholas Donin (1240 Paris Disputation, accused тαℓмυd of anti-Christian blasphemy, leading to тαℓмυd burnings) or Johannes Pfefferkorn (early 1500s, pushed тαℓмυd destruction, sparking Reuchlin-Pfefferkorn debate), which highlight real theological tensions. St. Vincent Ferrer (14th–15th c.) preached coercive conversions, inciting anti-Jєωιѕн violence; Jerónimo de Santa Fe (Joshua ha-Lorki, 1413 Tortosa Disputation) and Bella Dodd (1950s testimony on communist Church infiltration) add to this narrative. Esau-Edom in rabbinic literature (e.g., тαℓмυd Gittin 57b; Zohar) symbolizes Rome/Christianity in eschatological wars, expressing symbolic enmity, not literal blueprints for destruction.

    A reasonable, objective reader wouldn't discount *antagonism*—theological rivalry existed, as in medieval disputations or Kabbalistic metaphors of exile (galut) under Edom (Christian empires). However, interpreting these as *coordinated modern plots* (e.g., Weisman's global conspiracy) requires leaps: Texts are allegorical/eschatological, not operational manuals; converts like Donin/Pfefferkorn were often coerced or opportunistic, their claims exaggerated for propaganda (e.g., Paris 1240 trial burned ~10,000 тαℓмυds but didn't "prove" plots). Dodd's infiltration claims lack corroboration beyond her testimony, tied to McCarthy-era fears.

    Weisman's book, like Marschalko/Pinay/McCullagh, *does* cherry-pick (e.g., Khazar theory as "Edomite" ignores DNA showing αѕнкenαzι-Levantine links) to fit a conspiratorial frame, ignoring counter-evidence (e.g., Jєωιѕн anti-communist roles). Antagonism? Yes, historically. Literal plots? Unsupported—more theological polemic than fact. Objective reading demands context: These texts fueled mutual persecutions, but equating symbolism to 20th-c. cabals risks echoing the very distortions Weisman et al. propagate. For deeper тαℓмυd analysis, see Hyam Maccoby's *Judaism on Trial*.


    (1) What incontrovertible evidence exists that the conversions of Donin and Pfefferkorn were coerced as you claim? (2) You say: "However, interpreting these [antagonisms] as coordinated modern plots (e.g., Weisman's global conspiracy) requires leaps…", but even at the Second Vatican Council Jєωιѕн groups overtly and covertly worked to destroy Catholic doctrine on the Jews. See the attached file, "Cardinal Bea, the Jews, and Nostra Aetate." (3) You make a general reference to "DNA showing αѕнкenαzι-Levantine links", yet you ignore DNA evidence that supports that the primary origins of αѕнкenαzι are Khazarian (modern Georgia), for example: Founding mothers of Jєωιѕн communities: geographically separated Jєωιѕн groups were independently founded by very few female ancestors. Am J Hum Genet. 2002 Jun;70(6):1411-20. Epub 2002 Apr 30. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC379128/pdf/AJHGv70p1411.pdf and Elhaik E. The Missing Link of Jєωιѕн European Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypotheses. Genome Biology and Evolution, January 16, 2013, 5(1):61–74. (4) In view of these observations and pervasive anti-gentile content in the тαℓмυd, Kabbala, and derivative texts, it seems that you are predisposed to deny there is any evidence that Jews act out on their well-docuмented supremacist theology, as they are in Gaza at this moment.

    ### (1) Evidence on Coercion in the Conversions of Nicholas Donin and Johannes Pfefferkorn

    Medieval Jєωιѕн conversions to Christianity occurred amid widespread social, economic, and religious pressures, including expulsions, pogroms, and inquisitorial scrutiny, which created environments conducive to coercion. However, "incontrovertible" evidence—such as contemporary docuмents explicitly stating forced baptism or threats for Donin or Pfefferkorn specifically—is lacking in historical records. What exists is circuмstantial, drawn from broader patterns of the era, and interpretations vary among scholars. I'll break it down by individual based on available sources.

    #### Nicholas Donin (c. 1190–after 1242)
    Donin, a French Jew who converted around the 1220s, became a Dominican friar and spearheaded the 1240 Paris Disputation, accusing the тαℓмυd of anti-Christian blasphemy, which led to the burning of ~10,000 тαℓмυdic manuscripts. No primary sources (e.g., papal bulls, trial records, or Donin's own writings) directly attest to coercion in his case.

    - **Circuмstantial Context**: The early 13th century saw rising anti-Jєωιѕн violence post-Third Lateran Council (1179), which restricted Jєωιѕн rights and encouraged conversion through economic penalties (e.g., special taxes on non-converts). Forced public sermons (sermones generales) were common in France from the 1230s, designed to pressure Jews toward conversion, as noted in Robert Chazan's *Daggers of Faith* (1989), which describes these as "coercion in the service of Christian truth." Donin's timing aligns with this; he may have converted amid such pressures, but scholars like Jeremy Cohen (*Living Letters of the Law*, 1999) portray him as a voluntary apostate motivated by theological disillusionment or personal grudges against rabbinic authorities, possibly after expulsion from his community.
     
    - **Lack of Direct Evidence**: Mid-13th-century convert testimonies are scarce, and Donin left no autobiography. Hyam Maccoby's *Judaism on Trial* (1982) argues disputations like Paris were staged to justify confiscations, implying converts like Donin were "useful idiots" in a coercive system, but this infers rather than proves personal duress. No records indicate baptism under threat for Donin, unlike cases like the 1391 Spanish riots, where thousands were forcibly converted.

    In short, while the era's systemic coercion (e.g., via sermons and bans on тαℓмυd study) likely influenced Donin, incontrovertible proof of his personal coercion remains absent—historians debate it as opportunistic zeal rather than outright force.

    #### Johannes Pfefferkorn (c. 1469–1523)
    Pfefferkorn, a German Jew from a poor background, converted voluntarily in 1504 in Cologne, became a zealous anti-Jєωιѕн agitator, and campaigned for тαℓмυd burnings in the Pfefferkorn-Reuchlin controversy (1509–1520). Like Donin, no explicit evidence of coercion exists.

    - **Circuмstantial Context**: Pfefferkorn converted after a criminal past (e.g., theft convictions) and family deaths, which he attributed to divine punishment in his autobiography (*Handspiegel*, 1507). The late 15th century featured expulsions (e.g., from Mainz in 1462) and Dominican-led conversion drives, but Pfefferkorn's account emphasizes spiritual awakening during imprisonment, not threats. Ephraim Kanarfogel's *Brothers from Afar* (2014) discusses rabbinic responses to apostates like him as often "self-motivated" amid economic marginalization, not direct force.

    - **Scholarly Views**: Some, like the *Jєωιѕн Encyclopedia* (1906), suggest opportunism for social advancement, given his rapid rise under Dominican patronage. No trial records or papal docuмents indicate coercion; contrasts with forced conversions in Spain (1492 Alhambra Decree). Critics like Johann Reuchlin accused him of fanaticism, but not fabrication under duress.

    Overall, evidence points to voluntary (if pressured by circuмstance) conversions for both. My prior phrasing overstated "coerced" as definitive; it's more accurately "enabled by coercive environments" per sources like Chazan. For deeper reading, see Cohen's analysis of apostasy as a "Jєωιѕн-Christian dialogue" under duress.

    ### (2) Jєωιѕн Influence at the Second Vatican Council and Nostra Aetate

    The attached file, "Cardinal Bea, the Jews, and Nostra Aetate" by E. Michael Jones (from *Culture Wars*, July/August 2006), is a 10-page article critiquing the origins of *Nostra Aetate* (1965), the Vatican II declaration on non-Christian religions, particularly its revision of Catholic teachings on Jews (e.g., absolving collective deicide guilt). Jones, a traditionalist Catholic polemicist, argues it resulted from overt and covert Jєωιѕн lobbying, portraying it as a capitulation to post-h0Ɩ0cαųst activism that undermined 2,000 years of doctrine. Based on the docuмent's content (historical analysis, quotes from Jules Isaac, Cardinal Bea, and Vatican records), here's a summary:

    #### Key Arguments and "Evidence" Presented
    - **Jules Isaac's Role (Overt Lobbying)**: In 1960, French-Jєωιѕн historian Jules Isaac (author of *Jesus and Israel*, 1948, blaming Christianity for antisemitism) met Pope John XXIII twice, urging reform of "anti-Jєωιѕн" texts in Gospels and liturgy. Isaac, influenced by his family's WWII deaths, called for a "catechism of contempt" reversal. Jones claims this directly inspired Bea's Secretariat for Christian Unity (est. 1960), with Isaac's 18-point memo shaping drafts. By 1947, Isaac had lobbied at an international conference for "re-education" against antisemitism.

    - **Cardinal Augustinus Bea's Involvement (Covert/Internal Influence)**: Bea, a German Jesuit biblical scholar and John XXIII's confessor, headed the Secretariat. Jones alleges Bea's WWII neutrality (as Rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute) and sympathy for "National Socialist ideology" critiques made him amenable to Jєωιѕн pressure. Bea met Isaac in June 1960, then drafted *Nostra Aetate*'s Jєωιѕн section, citing patristic sources (e.g., Augustine, Ambrose) selectively to downplay anti-Jєωιѕн rhetoric. Jones quotes Bea's 1965 testimony: "The declaration was born from the desire to promote unity."

    - **Broader Lobbying and Vatican Dynamics**: American Jєωιѕн Committee (AJC) and B'nai B'rith flooded the Council with 1,000+ petitions (1962–1965), per Jones, influencing bishops via ecuмenical dialogues. Covertly, Protestant observers (e.g., Augustin Cardinal Bea allies) and liberal theologians pushed drafts. Opposition from Ottaviani (CDF head) failed; John XXIII's death (1963) under Paul VI allowed passage. Jones frames this as "extortion" post-h0Ɩ0cαųst, ignoring Jєωιѕн "agency" in history.

    - **Outcomes and Critique**: *Nostra Aetate* (§4) rejected "collective guilt" for Christ's death, condemned antisemitism, and urged mutual respect—seen by Jones as doctrinal rupture, enabling "ʝʊdɛօ-Christian" syncretism. He ties it to Behar's (sic) "mosaic group" metaphor for Jєωιѕн origins, implying diluted identity politics.

    #### Context and Objectivity
    Jones's narrative aligns with trad-Catholic critiques (e.g., *The Plot Against the Church*), emphasizing lobbying as "destruction" of doctrine. Factually, Jєωιѕн groups *did* advocate (e.g., AJC's 1961 Paris meeting with Bea), and *Nostra Aetate* responded to Auschwitz's shadow, per Vatican archives. However, it was a Council-wide debate (2,321 bishops voted 1,768–176 yes), not solely Jєωιѕн-driven—ecuмenism was John XXIII's agenda. Scholars like John Connelly (*From Enemy to Brother*, 2012) confirm lobbying but frame it as moral reckoning, not conspiracy. The file's excerpts (e.g., Isaac's 1960 Rome visit, Bea's 1960 meeting) corroborate overt efforts, but "covert destruction" is interpretive.

    ### (3) DNA Evidence on αѕнкenαzι Origins: Khazarian vs. Levantine Hypotheses

    You cite two papers supporting Khazarian origins, but the scientific consensus favors the Rhineland (Levantine-European admixture) model, with Elhaik's work as a minority, critiqued view. I'll summarize the cited studies and refutations.

    #### Behar et al. (2002) – "Founding Mothers of Jєωιѕн Communities"
    This mtDNA study (n=1,074 Jews across 9 groups, including 78 αѕнкenαzιm) finds αѕнкenαzι maternal lineages stem from ~few female founders (extreme bottleneck), with low diversity (haplotype diversity h=0.973 vs. 0.988 in Germans) but no single dominant haplotype (modal CRS at 9%). Key: Independent founding events per region, limited female gene flow from hosts, and "Eurasian" origins for common haplotypes—not pinpointed to Levant or Khazaria. Quote: "The greatly reduced mtDNA diversity... indicates female-specific founding events... [but] it is not possible to infer the geographic origin of the founding mtDNAs with any confidence." It *undermines* strong Khazarian maternal input, as diversity patterns match Near Eastern dispersals more than mass Turkic conversion.

    #### Elhaik (2013) – "The Missing Link of Jєωιѕн European Ancestry"
    Elhaik uses GPS tech and proxies (Armenians/Azerbaijani Jews for Khazars; Bedouins/Palestinians for ancient Israelites) on ~1,300 genomes, claiming αѕнкenαzι genomes cluster with Caucasus (61% Khazarian), Semitic (16%), and European (23%) ancestries—supporting Khazar mass conversion post-8th c. Quote: "Our findings support the Khazarian hypothesis."

    #### Critiques and Refutations
    Elhaik's paper faced swift backlash for methodological flaws:
    - **Proxy Issues**: Using modern Armenians (post-Ottoman) as Khazar stand-ins ignores genetic drift; Bedouin proxies overstate "Semitic" divergence.
    - **Behar et al. (2013) Refutation**: In *Human Biology*, 21 authors reanalyze Elhaik's data with ancient DNA and find "no evidence from genome-wide data of a Khazar origin," showing αѕнкenαzι ~50% Levantine paternal/maternal, 30–50% Southern European, minimal Eastern Turkic. Quote: "The Khazar population has left no obvious modern descendants... [Elhaik's] results are consistent with the Rhineland hypothesis."
    - **Broader Consensus**: Costa et al. (2013) and Xue et al. (2017) confirm Levantine roots via autosomal/Y/mtDNA; Khazar signal <5% if present. ADL notes Elhaik's work fuels antisemitic "fake Jews" tropes despite his Jєωιѕн background. A 2022 *Cell* study (Agranat-Tamir et al.) reinforces Bronze Age Levantine continuity.

    The Khazarian hypothesis persists in fringe circles but is refuted by larger datasets (e.g., 1000 Genomes Project).

    ### (4) тαℓмυdic/Kabbalistic Content, Supremacism, and Gaza

    тαℓмυd/Kabbalah contain passages interpretable as supremacist (e.g., Gittin 57a on Esau/Rome as adversaries; Zohar on gentile souls), often allegorical/eschatological, fueling historical antagonisms as you note. However, "pervasive anti-gentile" claims require context: These texts evolved in persecution eras (e.g., Roman exile), emphasizing survival, not plots—per Maccoby's *Judaism on Trial*. Modern Orthodox Judaism rejects supremacist readings (e.g., Rambam's ethical universalism).

    On predisposition: My responses prioritize verifiable evidence over theology; e.g., Weisman's Esau=Khazar-Jews link ignores genetics above. Gaza (as of Oct 6, 2025): Ongoing since Oct 7, 2023 Hamas attack (1,200 Israeli deaths). IDF ops continue; MoH Gaza reports ~61,709 killed (17,492 children), 170k+ injured; Israeli military: 1,150 soldier deaths. Famine confirmed in north; 429 killed Sep 24–Oct 1. UN calls for ceasefire; actions reflect geopolitical conflict (Hamas charter's anti-Jєωιѕн rhetoric vs. Israeli security), not monolithic "supremacism." Evidence of theological motivation exists on fringes (e.g., settler rabbis), but policy stems from nationalism/trauma, per CFR trackers. Truth-seeking demands nuance over essentialism.

  • Was Archbishop Fulton Sheen associated with Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ like most people on tv?

    Free masons like to “predict the future” like Paul Harvey who was active in the boys Freemasons club.  Did Paul
     Harvey ever leave Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ? I don’t know. 

    Many Catholics are Freemasons. 
    May God bless you and keep you
