Attempts to Normalize Freemasonry
I was an active freemasonry when I began to revert to Catholicism. I received a special grace that caused me to abandon freemasonry at the time, thanks be to God. You can't even openly pray to Jesus in freemasonry gatherings.
No you can't, because it DEMONIC: FREEMASONRY WORSHIPS THE DEVIL.
Same as that: I was a Freemason for 11 years, but at the same same time went to Mass. I didn't have to abandon freemasonry: I was happily expelled 2 years ago 😂. It was heavily Anglican lodge (Church of Ireland) and the opening and closing odes in the lodge were Anglican hymns: "Guide Me oh thou great Redeemer" was one. Sometimes during prayer before the festive board, very obvious Christian prayers were said and nobody batted an eyelid. Any anti-Catholic sentiment I experienced in freemasonry was not due to them being freemasons, but moreso the fact they were practicing Protestants.
@user-tx3ht2te1t that is true: they have no political sway here in Ireland. Freemasonry tends to be an appendant body of the Church of Ireland, sharing members, clergy/chaplains and COI parish halls etc. Of course there are a minority of Catholics in it - I was one (still Catholic), but it's the Catholics who seek out freemasonry for themselves, rather than our Protestant counterparts who often just join the masonic order simply because it's historical in their family lineage their obliged to to so: they often tend not to be very zealous about it. Getting back to your comment about it being on the decline over here: yes, by Grand Lodge of Ireland's own statistics, the average age of an entered apprentice is now 41, so yes - the interest in joining has waned. I'd be interested to hear about the grace you received in pulling you out of the order. I too felt I was scooped up in the nick of time also. I could have walked away, but was intrigued by their "disciplinary" process and wanted to go through the whole kangaroo court they held, leading to expulsion in 2021.
@user-tx3ht2te1t I replied to your comment but it doesn't seem to show. Does it show for you?
Thanks for sharing!
Well done guys, you've earned a RUclips "context box" :) 👍
What are they? Are they pro Masonic propaganda?
And don’t forget to give “feedback” to those idiot YT censors whenever you see one of those!
I feel so safe knowing that my betters at youtube are keeping dangerous thoughts away from my mind.
@@tombretislow7091 Our betters are only protecting us from the painful process of thinking for ourselves and from the pitfalls of forming opinions that might not agree with their narrative. Gotta love Big Brother, keeping us "safe" 🙃
That means IT'S TRUE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy Mother of God, destroy the heresy of freemasonry and urge your holy Son Jesus to cleanse the Church from this plague!
How is a men's Fraternal organisation with a total ban on the discussion of religion or politics in its meetings heretical? Please, I want an answer, think long and hard about it. Religion in Freemasonry is taboo, brethren are encouraged to be active members of their own congregations - is that heretical?
Search online and read the "Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita." Freemasonry is not guys in funny hats who sponsor circuses and ride in clown cars. It is ordered generally toward elimination of Christianity by denying the Kingship of Jesus and SPECIFICALLY the destruction of the Catholic Church. See especially the Italian P2 Lodge. I read a book years ago entitled "Behind the Lodge Door." Very illuminating.
Simple answer, it is a cult.
All cults are of satan.
@@davidstokes8441how do you explain freemasonry in the Vatican-infiltration eg Bugnini, pope Paul VI, John 23rd. Karl Marx was a mason and Satanist, the list goes on and on…hordes all against Catholicism
This was AMAZING. Thanks Hich. Great job Mark Lambert.
Michael Hichborn is a Catholic treasure. As are the wonderful members of Catholic Unscripted. :)
Thank you for covering this story. This is a very disconcerting development.
Excerpts from Blessed Mother's Message No. 407 to Father Gobbi, Marian Movement of Priests (on 666 and the 3rd manifestation of Satan in human history): "In this period of time around year 3x666=1998, Freemasonry, assisted by its ecclesiastical form, will succeed in its great design: that of setting up an idol to put in the place of Christ and His Church. A false christ and a false church. Consequently, the statue built in honor of the first beast, to be adored by all the inhabitants of the earth and which will seal with its mark all those who want to buy or sell, is that of the Antichrist. You have thus arrived at the peak of the purification, the great tribulation, and the apostasy. The apostasy will be, as of then, generalized because almost all will follow the false christ and the false church. Then the door will open for the appearance of the man or the very person of the Antichrist.
I have wanted to enlighten you concerning the pages of the Apocalypse to prepare you with Me for the most painful and decisive part of the great struggle fought out between your Heavenly Mother and all the forces of evil which have been let loose. Take courage! Be strong, My little children. To you befalls the duty, in these difficult years, of remaining faithful to Christ and His Church, putting up with hostility, struggle, and persecution. But you are a precious part of the little flock, which has the task of fighting against and, in the end, conquering the powerful force of the Antichrist. I am forming you all, defending you, and blessing you!"
Fulfillment of the above prophecy of the Blessed Mother is here. Let us be ready and do our Duty to remain faithful to Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church until the end. Let us not fear, but face the coming events in Peace, for He will never leave, nor forsake His faithful, and His grace will be sufficient for us to fulfill the task perfectly, whatever it may be (2 Cor 12:9), and remain faithful to the end (Rev 2:10). Amen!
Love this !!!! Thank you!!!!!
Whilst I had little interest in the Papacy during the reign of Paul VI and John Paul 1, am I not correct in thinking that a man called Michele Sindona was linked with Archbishop Marcinkus (Vatican Bank) and that Freemasonry was involved in the murder of Roberto Calvi and - possibly - Pope John Paul 1? POWER was as significant a factor then, as it is today. The question I have always wanted to be answered by FREEMASONS is, "If you are trying your best to be a good imitator of Jesus of Nazareth, why would you need to belong to a separate, non-Christian, 'charitable' organisation?" How would that further the gospel of Christ? And - if that is not its aim - then what IS the aim of FREEMASONRY? Let's ask the Duke of Kent; or the Prince of Wales!
In actual fact, there is almost no evidence of any of that stuff. JP I was not murdered. Not even Father Murr says so.
The god of the Freemasons is not Jesus Christ but the Great Architect of the Universe.
Apparently it's got much more political clout in Europe than in America. In the US it's seen by many as a branch of the New Age movement.
American President's belong to Freemasonry:
Don't be deceived...
@@anng.4542 Erm....have you scrutinised the architecture of Washington DC, or American currency? Masonic to the core!
How on earth is Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmiero who is presiding over this conference still in good standing with the church? His past was mentioned as being a bit ''spicy in the podcast but it seems to be MUCH worse than that. Search for this article on One Peter five from 2019 - 'Another Vatican Perversion Story With Coccopalmerio’s Name All Over It'. I'm baffled that this man is still in the church.
Look at Francis, a HERETIC !
There is nothing baffling about this corrupt wicked papacy. He appoints sinister dark figures and dismisses faithful men.
Pray that Our Lord grants this wicked Francis a Pauline Conversion before his coming death and judgement.
@user-tx3ht2te1t Cocopalm is also a satanist.
I know, right? Even his very NAME creeps me out. EWWWWW....🤢
Harry Truman was the grand master for the State of Missouri. He became President of the United States on April 1945. In August, he ordered the dropping of two Atomic Bombs on women and children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When he was asked what was the biggest mistake he ever made, he answered: "I chose the wrong Attorney General". The fact that he had caused the suffering and cruel deaths of tens of thousands of people did not bother him in the least. Many people believe that Japan was ready to surrender. A simple boycott would have succeeded. Another famous freem-a-son, was President George Bush, a member of Skull and Bones, a branch of freema-s-onry. He started wars based on absolute lies that Sadam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and that a dying man in a cave along with 19 men who had never flown a plane before orchestrated the most sophisticated manoeuvers in the sky to make a U turn thousands of feet in the air to fly at ground level and hit the Pentagon right in the middle of the financial section where Donald Rumsfeld had announced the day before that a few trillion dollars were missing. George Bush asserted that "We will have a New World Order, either by consent or by conquest!" He also stated that the American Constitution was just a damn piece of paper.
Horrible as it was to use atomic weapons to end World War II, Truman's "membership" may not have been the deciding factor in that decision. An episode on Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the Forgotten History channel points out the fanatical support for the war effort on the part of most Japanese citizens, and the tremendous casualty statistics resulting from that country's military campaigns throughout Asia.
Remember the 2 Japanese cities were the historical centers of the Catholic Church in Japan
I was certainly aware that Truman was a Freemason. However, I was not aware that those were two Catholic centers in Japan, where they dropped the atomic bomb. The Bush family is absolutely demonic and evil. I'm an independent, the Clintons are another story; we all know that they are two, very bad individuals.
Ge orge Poppy Bush is also heavily implicated in the assassination of President JFK…. Just a little nugget of gossip I heard along the way.
The mistake is to think that being a Freemason caused Truman to do the bad things he did.
This is the dialogue that Jesus would have with free-m-a-sons. John 8:44 The father you spring from is the devil, and willingly you carry out his wishes. He brought death to man from the beginning and has never based himself on truth. Lying speech is his native tongue, he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I deal with the truth, you give me no credence.The reason you do not hear me is that you are not of God.

Under those conditions - the majority of the hierarchy are excommunicated! Didn't PF have a letter from the Rotary club in Argentina for some sort of honoury - membership?
Is the rotary club the free masons?
As usual fantastic content with a fabulous guest from La punto excellent Michael can reveal so much God bless
a bishop or two left the Synod saying "the layman knows little about the church" paraphrased.
I just LOVE how Google takes it upon itself to put up their own misinformation "warning". That's because it is a SURE Sign that whatever you're about to see or read is TRUE!!! Boy, does that make me laugh!! 😂
Mark I said, "O, my dear Lord" in reaction to a quote. It must be the perfect reaction because I said it spontaneously with you.
I was long ago asked to be a Eucharistic Minister in my diocesan parish in the US. My pastor had seen that I often was at church and came to Holy Hour. I went to an all day class offered by the diocese and was installed. For the most part it was the Precious Blood which I distributed. I no longer though serve in this manner, believing as Archbishop Schneider has said that we should move away from distributing communion in the hand that it should be received in the tongue by a priest. Looking back to that incident about 2009 I was distributing the Precious Blood to the faithful and an older man approached to receive I recognized he wore a ring that had Freemason insignia. I was uneasy but I gave him the chalice. Afterward I discussed this with the pastor. I knew that Catholics could not be Freemasons and receive the Host. The pastor told me “You cannot refuse to give communion to anyone who approaches.” The pastor listened to my concern but I don’t know that he was in any way alarmed. I see American priests do not hold this Freemason matter to be a serious one. I spoke to another priest and he kind of thought it funny that I should be concerned. Thank you Mark and Michael for this important discussion. It raised alarms for me then, it baffles the mind why this group will be a subject for the Vatican to open its doors.
I grew up in a rural community and a local man was a fortune teller. The priests refused to give him communion in front of everyone at the rural mass he was attending and where he was known by everyone in the congregation. So yes priests do have the authority to refuse to give communion.
the priest can absolutely refuse to give communion, they have it on Video multiple times
If he wore rainbow flag I would tell him to go to the priest. Same if he wears a masonic ring. If the person removed these items, then I would give them communion. Finally I'm not a priest so i would not be giving out the sacraments.
Good to hear you no longer go along with the Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist nonsense. When priests push this or smile at Freemasons you know these priests are not faithful. They need prayers.
No one should be giving out the eucharist but a priest, and on the tongue only. The "precious blood" is nonsensical and redundant.
The main question for any Christian considering membership with Freemasonry should be, "Which has my highest allegiance, my faith and Church membership or Freemasonry?" It is upon that point other denominations, I understand, have opposed Freemasonry. Michael Hichborn did not explain that a lower degree or level does not possess the information or knowledge of a higher degree, one of the reasons behind Freemasonry's secrecy. Too, for any to churn over, I count fourteen presidents of the United States who have been Freemasons, beginning with George Washington. For those who contribute to the Shriners, well, the Shriners are Freemasons.
Then if Francis meets with their representatives, will he be automatically excommunicated?
Francis says confusing statements so others can move forward with these Evil agendas. But hides behind his confused statement's and pretends his innocent. All inclusive and dialogue with the evil destroyer and deceiver.
I watched Michael Hichborn the other day. He was interviewing Anthony Stine. Stine claimed that JP II did his Ph.D. Thesis at the Angelicum in Rome, but it was rejected because it was "modernist". This is a total falsehood. Why do these guys spread falsehoods constantly? JP II did his thesis at the Angelicum, and it was resoundly accepted by the professors who reviewed it. For the written part, he received 18 out of 20 points, which is outstanding. He received 50 out of 50 points for his oral defense of his thesis, also outstanding. Garrigou LaGrange quibbled with JP II over the wording of a couple passages, but thought very highly of him. Afterwards, JP II recommended to other students that they attend the Angelicum, because Garrigou LaGrange was excellent and so was the staff. JP II said Garrigou LaGrange and others taught "the real Thomas, not Thomism". What happened is that in order for the Angelicum to bestow a Ph. D, the student had to pay to have his thesis published. JP II ran out of time and money and thought it would be better to return to Poland rather than stay just to have it published by the Angelicum. So he returned to Lublin, became a professor and they published it. Out of this, Hichborn and Stine got "The Angelicum rejected JP II for being modernist". I ask you, how do supposedly faithful Catholics get something so very, very wrong, except out of a weird animus. I therefore do not believe any of their stories.
well said, thanks
Please note that I expressed surprise and stated that I had never heard this, and we moved on. This was not my assertion, and it was the first time I had ever heard the claim.
The different voices .......discernment and homework is needed!
Yes. True. Pope Francis is a saint. And all prostitutes are actually virgins.
I don't know anything about this. But I do agree with Anthony Stein. John Paul II definitely was a modernist. And that is heretical, but I do think... that he was a good Pope ! But a SAINT ???
Strange or maybe not that, RUclips puts up a learn about Freemasonry indicator at the start.
It's all part of the conspiracy.....😱
Very interesting. I feel like the church is on knifes edge.
My Father in Law was a senior Lay preacher in the English Methodist church. He was part of a group investigating whether or not freemasonry was compatible with Methodism. Their conclusion was that it isn't compatible but many in the Methodist church are freemasons so they allowed services where freemasons could take part. For me the interesting finding was that their intention is to create a religion called "Jabulon" made out of a combination of three religions! In my investigations I found that Canterbury Cathedral has a masonic emblem as recognition of funding for building work.
Are you able to tell us which three religions?
@@Sarah-bug No,they either did not know or decided not to disclose but Ja may indicate Judaism.
Jabulon is a combination of three different gods. Jehovah, Baal and Osiris. Jehovah, the Israeli God, Baal the Canaanite god and Osiris the Egyptian god. Baal and Osiris are pagan demonic gods.
@@Sarah-bug The religion wasn't to be called "Jabulon" but that was the Master Word in Royal Arch Freemasonry- thought to combine Jahweh- God of the Jews, Baal- the Phoenician god, and On- either a reference to Egypt's Osiris or the Hindu OM. Anyway, Freemasonry is full of such syncretic elements blending Judeo-Christian faith with Islam and various pagan religions- Egyptian, Mediterranean, and far Asian.

Thanks guys for good, clear dialogue on important subject.
Some have also noted some early influence of the islamic dean on the creation of FW'ism and also the power cross-feeding between them and judaism; all clearly aimed against the christians and our ways
Islamic Deen, yes, study for clues on the "how and the whys "Research the engoing history of the fraternities via the historical Assassin fedayeen, where these fraternities ultimately came from. (They have become the unorthodox Ismailis today), who worship their Aga Khan/hereditary leader, (where the phrase "worth his weight in gold" comes from.)
Note especially how over the years, sometimes they were openly (islamic) fanatically devout jihadis, and at other times Sabbatean-like in their sudden upending of all morality and faling into licentiousness.
In the West it was set up "as their idea of revenge" for the loss of Andelusia by both parties, who were expelled or, pretended to convert, as is Lutheranism and all other heresies that lead to desecration of cruifixes and sacred art and looting/asset stripping.
The impudent taking over Christian Trade Guilds should also be noted, very successful coup, they are too lazy to" build" from the grass roots, ironically, Its always a coup or using proxies.
They want the Church intact, therefore. They want to squat it.
The fact that some of their goals have been centuries in the future! Points to a discarnate entity calling the shots, The fact that all their myths and rituals are ever changing and counterfeit fictions, points to the Father of Lies being the architect of the universal, rebelliousness.
How could any christian belong to a group where God is cast in any other way than the Holy Trinity? It's the first of the commandments. Even if they were totally benign, I still wouldn't belong to them.
Awesome talk
You guys are awesome together. Great convo
Are we Surprised...Really, what a predictable move...amazing
Whatever the Roman Catholic cannot control it condemns
Locutions of Fr. Gobi, written down in 'To Priests Our Lady's Beloved Sons' include passages where Our Lady directly warns about how freemasonry has infiltrated the Catholic church & the great danger this causes!
There is also Our Lady's prophecy from the 1600s in Quito, Ecuador where she warned about the masons before they ever formed their wicked organization. On January 21, 1610 she gave the message: "Thus, I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and from shortly after the middle of the 20th century, in what is today the Colony and will then be the Republic of Ecuador, the passions will erupt and there will be a total corruption of customs, for Satan will reign almost completely by means of the Masonic Sects. They will focus principally on the children in order to sustain this general corruption. Woe to the children of these times!"
Gave a 👍🏻 in anticipation, but not watching till after lent 😐
Interesring that Francsican Friar Franciszek Suchecki tried to present the Church's teachings on Freemasonry, even if it was a 'due act', this was a good act, no?
It would be a good exercise to compare the symbols of FM with that of the RCC
Fraternities stole every single symbol .... the Trinity eye in the triangle, The Creator with the compasses, Christian Trade Guilds ...
In the main Masonic symbols are from stone masons tools from the time of the building of King Solomon’s temple. Each symbol represents a moral lesson. For example the 24 inch gauge or ruler represents the 24 hours of the day and teaches the importance of spending portions of that day in work, service and prayer to almighty God. Nothing sinister is to found in freemasonry.
@@Chewy02 Except the top levels worship Lucifer.
@@rccyberwarrior2267 complete and utterly wrong my friend. You’ve been lead astray. When a man becomes a mason he swear an obligation on the bible. There are what’s called side degrees in freemasonry, some of whom are Christian, and a joining brother must swear that he believes in the trinity. There is a lot of lies and nonsense spread about Freemasonry, many conspiracy theories spread about by small minded men who live in a state of darkness. Many great men throughout history have been Freemasons who have done many great works for humanity. That’s Gods doing not the devils.
The Freemasons took the symbols of the Catholic Church purposely to corrupt them. Even if you like to mock The Catholic Church in a derogatory way. A bit like what occultists do inverting crosses and abusing Holy Symbols. There's podcasts on Tube you can check out by various well known priests who explain how this happened and why. That's why some churches have the all seeing eye above the Altar. This symbol was taken by The Illuminati as one of their main symbols but The Catholic Church used it first.
I'll address just the first few inaccuracies in the film.
This character says that Freemasonry is naturalism in action. Says that we comment on how to achieve salvation. Completely untrue. Freemasonry holds no opinion on salvation, as a mans faith is up to him and nobody else.
We do not have any gnosticism, or "secret knowledge".
We are not the driving force behind socialism. We hold no political stance whatsoever. This is illustrated by the fact that we have members from all political leanings.
The Fabian Society is a Socialist group, but by no means are the members all Freemasons.
This silly man really does not know what he is talking about and is simply regurgitating the same tired old nonsense that has been doing the rounds on the conspiracy theorist circuit..
Your defence is tired old nonsense or you’re naive & don’t know the real goals of Freemasonry!
Father Elijah. The Cardinal in the book sounds a lot like the Pope
The words of Mr Bergoglio reminds the tongue of the serpent: it often allows 2 different interpretations coming from one sole affirmation.
Charles Spurgeon: “Wisdom is not to be able to separate lies from truths, but to separate half-truths from truths.”
16:37 - Couldn’t find a Martini on the Picorelli’s list.
By the way: what a long and impressive list!
How dare we tell Jesus that we no more than him and treat the host as a wafer and not the divine body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pope Clements Decree is the same as Quo Primum with regard to the Latin Mass.
Oh, did the same Pope contradict it a year later?
@@De-Nigma I don't know. The people who might know the answer to that would be Taylor Marshall, Anthony Stein, Kennedy Hall or Father Gerald Murray who is a Cannon Lawyer.
'the great architect' is, as written in the Book of Revelation 'the name that is insulting to God'.
God revealed that to me.
The great architect is lucifer/satan.
You sound as if you know all about Freemasonry? i wonder why.

I don't trust David l. Gray ...not at all
In his podcast Gray waves a wand followed by a lightening effect -- classic symbol of a wizard waving his wand to curse or do magic. Too many fake "converts" are grabbing the spotlight and pretending to be experts on Catholicism and gaining a gullible following.
Islam is very effective at shaping culture as well. Strange bedfellows or separated bretheren?
(3) Youre a strange fellow making bitter diabolical innuendos against Christ's Church.
You're a long way from home son.
They do not worship the same God....
Online censorship shapes culture too, allegedly...
What is a catholic to do when one pope contradicts another? Obviously he should believe whichever one he has most recently read. This allows for the "development of doctrine" along the lines of a sine curve.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help discern which one is Catholic and which one is not. Considering the 10 Commandments as a standard it is not that hard to discern.
@@rccyberwarrior2267If one has to rely on direct communications from the Holy Spirit what's the point of having a pope at all?
Bugnini was a Freemason, as likely also were the Protestants who helped him write the novus ordo.
Join one of the Eastern Orthodox Churches?
Pope Francis has many profound teachings many miss. He make crazy errors and seemingly poor judgement yet his teachings contribute to to Church teaching. This proves the divine origin and destination of the Catholic Church
Ok, sure.
Do tell...we'll wait.......
While this was a fun chat I do hope this channel sticks to its core content as it is highly valuable and might be diminished if it gets too unnecessarily conspiracy-focused.
I guess hundreds of denouncements by the Church are meaningless.
at 18:33. Whether satan goes by the name of Freemasonry or anything else, if you're trying to make Jesus and His Church the center of your life, his tactics fall flat.
@lisabethkelly4480 The PRIMARY REQUIREMENT for membership of Freemasonry, is to have, at the centre of one's life, a single, supreme being. The identity of that being, is up to the individual. However, the VAST majority of Masons...are Christian...of one denomination or another.
@@teecee1567 I think this is the point where we'll go off track. But I would believe your statement about most christians being Freemasons. I also believe most Freemasons are probably really good people just wanting to be a part of something bigger than themselves. And it's probably more fun than church.
The silent version of this video was better.

I think this guy is a lightweight. Possibly a Trojan horse.
This is bonkers!
1. Freemasons in English-speaking countries are religiously harmless. My Church of Ireland great-grandfather, whom I remember during his final years, was a mason.
2. Lepanto was a long time ago; I never met a Turk I didn't like.
It is a sin to bear false witness against your neighbors. This is exactly what you're doing here against those who are Masonic brothers. Freemasonry is not a religion. It is a fraternity of men, who are extremely tolerant of all religions, including Catholicism. How sad you lie and yet claim to be Christians.
