This post investigates why and how globohomo skinsuited the Catholic Church, begun in earnest in the aftermath of World War 2 and finalized with the widespread allegations of priest sexual abuse in 2002. Prior entries on religion include the origination and evolution of Christianity, the history of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the relationship between the central bank owners and the Jewish people, and an analysis of different religions in the context of group fertility rates. Islam will be covered in a future post.
“The Church’s maw’s remarkably capacious, Gobbles up whole realms, everything precious / Nor once suffers qualms, not even belches; The Church alone is able to digest / Goods illegitimately possessed.” - Mephisto in Faust: Part One, Scene: Out Walking
As Nietzsche explained in his first treatise in “On the Genealogy of Morality” and as discussed previously on this Substack, Christianity originally arose as a way to rile up the masses of poor, women, and slaves to smash the hated, powerful Roman Empire by inverting its core values. To the Roman elites what was “good” was what separated them from the masses i.e. strength, immediacy of purpose, nobility, victory, while “bad” was anything that made the elites like the masses. Meanwhile Christians believed in a system of good/evil where what was “good” were the traditionally “bad” Roman values, i.e. weakness, humility, blind belief, meekness, subservience, equality, pity, guilt, suffering and self-hatred, and what was “evil” was the traditionally Roman “good” values. An inversion of society from top to bottom.
Christianity caught on like wildfire, but its inherent pacifism and egalitarianism was not a viable route toward empire building or power acquisition. The Catholic Church evolved to solve this problem by outcompeting and destroying its competition (Hellenic, Arian, gnostic) and putting rigid hierarchical guardrails in place around its core egalitarian energies.
This strategy succeeded and ultimately reached a kind of egalitarian/inegalitarian balance, lasting for about 1,000 years until the adoption of Aristotelian logic by Aquinas. The adoption of rationalist empiricism gradually gnawed away at the belief system of the Church and led/devolved to Protestantism, secularism, modern-day shitliberalism and the hollowing out of the Church itself.
Perhaps this is ultimately why we have Pope “Francis” Bergoglio continuing this trend and now blessing same sex marriage, building on earlier Vatican documents, while calling for a “paradigm shift” in theology for the world of today:
This post will focus on the actions and belief of the current Pope and the history of what led to his election. After all, he was elected by a majority of the College of Cardinals so his views represent the dominant outlook of most Catholic Cardinals and therefore the Church itself. There are many indications that this far-leftist faction remains in power while few or no indicators to the contrary.
Some of the Pope’ recent actions
In 2020 Francis blessed the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, a group led by Lynn Forester de Rothschild that represents $2.1 trillion in market cap and 200 million employees. The Group is pushing environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices in business that seek to bankrupt small and midsize businesses and consolidate control among big business in the name of environmental sustainability.
He also called for the West to accept endless hordes of non-integrating illegals:
In 2019 Francis donated funds to illegal immigrants ($500,000 for a quoted 75,000 migrants, or $6.66 per migrant curiously) and he even has crosses removed from events so that Muslim migrants won’t be upset. All while he washes and kisses their feet:
The Catholic Church along with various Jewish, Lutheran and other religious organizations have been up to their eyeballs in assisting the CIA/State Department to import ~20 million illegal immigrants in the past 3.5 years alone; see here and here.
Meanwhile, the Pope purged non-globohomo Cardinals like Cardinal Burke in November 2023, stripped him of his salary and kicked him out of his apartment after he criticized the Pope’s pro-homosexual stance. In the same month he dismissed Bishop Joseph Strickland for the same reason, and also because he refusal to implement Vatican directives to restrict the use of the old-style Latin Mass. During COVID he removed a Bishop who was anti-COVID mandate and also publicly argued that getting force-vaccinated was a “moral obligation”. He also removed conservative Cardinal Robert Sarah as head of the Vatican’s office for liturgy.
These developments should be understood in the context of Catholicism’s doctrines of papal infallibility and papal supremacy, where when the Pope speaks ex cathedra he is preserved from the possibility of error on doctrine. But these recent moves by the Pope are mere manifestations of his long-held radicalism. In 2013 he assured atheists that you don’t have to believe in God to go to Heaven. In 2017 he quietly reduced sanctions against pedophile priests.
The state of the Church
According to the wonderful Archbishop Vigano, the Pope is a globohomo shill and there exists a deep Church pushing “heresy, sodomy, and corruption.” He states:
“There is a very strict relationship between the doctrinal crisis of the Church and the immorality of the clergy, that scandalously reaches up to the highest levels of the hierarchy. But it is also apparent that this crisis is being used by the ultra-progressive wing not only to impose a false morality together with a false doctrine, but also to irremediably discredit the Holy Church and the Papacy before the faithful and the world, through the action of its own leaders.” Viganò added that a “gay lobby” has “infiltrated into the Church and that is literally terrified that good pastors will shed light on the influence that it exercises in the Secretariat of State, in the Congregations of the Roman Curia, in the Dioceses, and over the entire Church…[Pope] Bergoglio has surrounded himself with compromised and blackmailed personalities, whom he has no qualms about getting rid of as soon as they risk compromising him in his media image.” Viganò said that “these three elements – heresy, sodomy, and corruption – are so recurrent that they are almost a trademark of the deep state and of the deep church.”
The question becomes: how exactly did globohomo skinsuit the Catholic Church? When did it happen and why? For the answer we turn to Guido Giacomo Preparata, whose brilliant work “Conjuring Hitler” I previously covered and which turned the common understanding of the causes of World War 2 on its head (another good review is here). In his 2023 book “Empire & Church” he traces the behind-the-scenes battle between the Church and globohomo in the aftermath of World War 2 and how the latter came to dominate the former. Poetically written, the book is at an advanced level and requires a developed understanding of the structure of the modern world (i.e. as a slave colony to the central bank owners) before it can really be appreciated.
The Church as a corporation
Agreeing with the point made at the start of this post, Preparata believes that the Catholic Church was crafted to stem the radical egalitarianism at the heart of Christianity. It became a temporal rival to Empire but in doing so it lost the original message of Christ:
At an even deeper level, for the Ghibellines [i.e. those supporting the supremacy of state over Church], the ultimate insidiousness of Catholicism lies in its anarchistic core. It is thus to hide her occult nature, that, purportedly, the Church has traditionally resorted to presenting a facade of “mediocrity, compromise, ritualistic aestheticism, and prudence,” which has enabled her to develop a formidable capacity for adaptation and absorption within a highly hierarchized yet externally impersonal structure. “The preaching of Christ,” Evola contends, “was never aimed at constituting a new form of associative life or even a new religion. Such a preaching was at heart anarchistic, anti-social, defeatist, and subversively hostile to any rational order of things.” Therefore, in order to retrain its insubordinate animus, and to begin to fashion itself as a viable organization, Catholicism has had to “incorporate the popular customs of the pagan world, to round off the more extreme and anti-political facets of its primitive complexion, and to avoid with colorless circumspection the logical conclusions of Protestantism [on the irrefragable impossibility of free-will] and mystical delirium.” In the final analysis, the secret recipe of Christianity’s success is its exclusive, quasi-monopolistic rapport with the “mass of cosmopolitan desperadoes.”
Thus, from the moment it structured and militarized itself in hierarchical form, not only did Christianity betray its hallowed principle of peaceful equality but it also became ipso facto a rival of the Empire; as such, since there can only be one source of power, [to the Ghibellines] the Church must be either supplanted, defeated, and hollowed out, or at the very least subordinated, subjected and absorbed.”
The Church focused on the accumulation of material power and came to be run as a business, concerned with expanding and defending its domain and profits. This resulted in its centuries-long dance with secular leaders with push-pull scheming behind the scenes by both parties. “Empire & Church” was titled such because they need each other: an empire needs the Church for its moral and spiritual legitimacy, while the Church needs the Empire to defend its interests by force:
From the (primordial) standpoint of the ruled, the rulers have always had to radiate the confidence of (1) awesome warriors who (2) had the favor of the gods. Both requisites - sword and (devotional) creed - had to be satisfied. The technicalities surrounding the classic propositions of the “principle of authority” and “legitimacy” (who is entitled to rule?) stem from this condition. As eventually did [those] torrents of treaties on the divine right of kings and emperors, the temporal prerogatives of popes, - and later on, when modern bureaucracies emerged, - on “natural rights,” the sovereignty of “The People,” democratic rule, etc."
We will see this push-pull between secular and religious forces in the lead-up both to World War 1 and 2 after which the game changed completely, catching the Church totally off guard.
World War 1 and its aftermath
In the lead-up to World War 1 the Habsburg Empire of Austria-Hungary remained unshakably loyal to Rome, providing it, along with France, the Netherlands and Bavaria most of the Church’s funds. In 1882 Italy, Germany and Austria joined in the Triple Alliance which, if it flourished, could have created a “Catholic space” not unlike the area once covered by the Holy Roman Empire. But the Italians were bribed by the British - despite Benedict XV’s pleadings to the contrary - and switched sides in an act of Free-Masonic infamy. Tethered to the Allies, Italy helped ”win” the war but at the cost of 650,000 dead and financial collapse. Via Versailles Austria was dismembered which virtually annihilated the Church’s supply of vicarious secular might. Benedict XV called World War 1 "the suicide of Europe."
Because Austria was destroyed the weakened Church felt forced to negotiate with Italian Fascism (1931) and Nazism (1937) in the hopes of resuming their pre-war expansion plans. The Concordat with Nazism contained secret clauses hinting at an eventual spiritual conquering by Catholicism of the Slavic world.
Despite the Concordat, the Nazis and the Catholics had sharp differences in their ideologies and approaches and, feeling their authority challenged, the Nazis unleashed a PR blitzkreig that would later be so effectively copied by globohomo:
[The Nazis] started, first, by exposing with fanfare, and very efficaciously, several (sensationally grotesque) cases of financial fraud and embezzlement that featured pious little nuns laden with cash, concealed under their robes, restlessly shuttling like mules between Italy and Germany; and subsequently - after the break-down of a patched-up truce in 1936 - the offensive was sustained by hitting the Church hardest where she was most ignominiously weakest: sex….Pioneering the tactic that the U.S. Neoconservatives via the Boston Globe would have adopted in January 2002 to discredit publicly and thus silence the Church in the ru-up to the War on Terror, Goebbels and his Ministry of Propaganda [unleashed] packs of reporters tasked with the failsafe assignment of unearthing from Catholicism’s clerical underground lurid stories of homosexuality, molestations, pedophilia, and sacristies and seminaries turned into bordellos. Shamefully exposed, and searingly blasted by Goebbel’s inquisitorial vituperations (“the horrifying rot” of “these monsters!…”), the Holy See, humiliated anew, retreated and capitulated by agreeing to the dissolution of all Catholic Youth Organizations in Germany. There followed the pacification of 1937-1938.
While the Church was engaged with German and Italian politics, though, it also engaged with the financial overlords of the West:
Starting in the mid-1920s, the invested patrimony of the Vatican would expand into a veritable financial empire which extended from the European portfolios of Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Britain and Switzerland to faraway stakes in Latin America, and whose key terminus was in Wall Street - or, rather, in the investment banking trust of the J.P. Morgan Company, to be specific.
The Church’s financial holding company was purportedly created in two stages: from 1929 to 1933, following the Lateran Accords, and from 1939 to 1945, on the lucrative coattails of World War 2. Counseled by the financiers of the Morgan Bank, the Holy See gained access, e.g. to the trust of Anaconda Copper and to Iraq’s oil wells. These and a plethora of other ventures ended up being so fabulously remunerative for Rome that “Pius XI would confer upon both Jack and Tom Lamont [of J.P. Morgan Company] the Grand Cross of Saint Gregory the Great.” The alarcity that the House of Morgan also displayed in helping Mussolini stabilize the Lira in 1926 and in doing good business with Fascism in general (with Washington’s blessing, quite naturally) was very much linked to this USA-Vatican entente.
The Vatican had, as part of this deal, given custody of a considerable amount of Vatican gold shipped from Europe to the managing offices of the Federal Reserve Bank. It was therefore engaging with both sides of the emerging power centers.
World War 2
When Germany marched into Poland in 1939 Pope Pius XII did not condemn the invasion and, when told of the upcoming Operation Barbarossa, the Pope was said to have received the news with satisfaction. He looked forward to converting the East to Catholicism per the secret clause of its Concordat with Germany.
But not even four months later the Vatican was informed by trusted sources at the highest level that the Axis powers had already irredeemably lost the war (the source Preparata cites is Lacroix-Riz, Le Vatican, pp. 515, 516, 527, 532). Barbarossa had not destroyed Russia whose manufacturing factories had been moved before the war beyond the Urals, and the outgunned and out-produced Germans were already losing critical manpower and supplies. It was over long before the public understood: in modern wars those with the greatest industrial production wins, and the Allies outproduced and outgunned the Axis by anywhere from a 3:1 to a 10:1 margin.
When it finally dawned on the Church what was happening it hurriedly pivoted to lend Washington its hand, including re-awakening the Mafia to assist logistically in the landing of U.S. troops in Sicily in 1943. If the Church had not played both sides in the lead-up to World War 2, if it had put all its eggs in the Axis basket, developments very well could have ended up destroying the Church post-war. But due to this moderate level of foresightedness it would live to fight another day — for awhile.
The gradual skinsuiting
After the war, given both the Soviet Union and the West were controlled by the same central bank owners and the Axis had become hollowed-out vassal states, the Catholic Church remained the only significant entity that retained a degree of autonomy worldwide. But globohomo was not willing to accept any rivals for power: after all, Empire thrives in a nucleus of Church and Sword, and globohomo lacked the moral and spiritual legitimacy provided by the Church. It wanted to acquire it like a real estate deal, a real estate deal for a billion souls. A frontal attack was not needed; rather, a slow drawn-out process would be much more effective:
The rulers tolerate [“patriotic”] Catholics as a temporary and necessary evil, reasoning that the stage has not yet arrived at which one can utterly wipe out religion, and that it is better to deal with accommodating bigots than with refractory ones….The masses in highly industrialized countries like England, the United States or France are largely de-Christianized. Technology, and the way of life it produces, undermines Christianity far more effectively than do violent measures [i.e. by raising man, not as a “child of God',” but as a purely social creature]. The core of the problem is to avoid galvanizing the forces of Christianity by some careless misstep. It would be an unforgivable carelessness, for example, to close the churches suddenly and prohibit all religious practice. Instead, one should try to split the Church in two. Part of the clergy must be compromised as reactionaries and “foreign agents” - a rather easy task, given the utterly conservative mentality of many priests. The other part must be bound to the State as closely as the Orthodox Church is in Russia, so that it becomes a tool of the government. A completely submissive Church - one that may on occasion collaborate with the security police - loses authority in the eyes of the pious. Such a Church can be preserved for decades, until the moment when it dies a natural death due to a lack of adherents.
This slow process has played out under the Second Vatican Council and then under the tutelage of John Paul II and his successors.
This in turn led to the Sedevacantism movement, but it is very small: tens of thousands or perhaps a couple hundred thousand of Catholics amidst 1.36 billion worldwide.
Today the Vatican has become wholly subdued to the globohomo techno-structure:
(a) The bulk of Vatican funding is American; (b) the bulk of “progressive” Catholics have become entirely subservient to the business ethos of the Liberal mainstream, which finances its parishes and schools - schools that are, by and large, posh, unaffordable establishments catering almost exclusively to the ultra-rich; (c) U.S. Catholic reactionaries have, since 9/11, rallied with ferocious exhilaration to the Neocons’ patriotic and war-mongering promise of a never-ending hyper-modern crusade against Islam(ism); and (d) Catholic “anarchists” - Evola’s, Maurras’s, and pretty much everybody else’s nemesis - who were very few to begin with, can be said to have been successfully relegated to the appendices of esoteric codices amid unicorns and faeries.
Globohomo also successfully reused Goebbel’s propaganda strategy to smear the Church with its pedophile sex crimes in 2002. The pressure and leverage from this attack was ultimately used to make their deviant, degenerate candidate the Pope:
Eventually, with the added leverage of the pedophile scandals in the 2000s, the last resistances were broken and…a faction of the Curia allegedly conspired to hand over (i.e. to sell) the “Catholic box” wholesale to Washington in exchange for the guarantee that their tenure - presently as subaltern chief officers of what was then bound to become Anglo-America’s affiliated bureau of Catholic Affairs - be confirmed.
This came to pass in the Spring of 2013 with the abdication of Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) in favor of America’s long-standing candidate, Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Francis I).
Thenceforth, I consider the match to be over: de fact, in the last two decades or so, for matters of geo-politics…the Catholic Church has mostly served as a sounding board for the Washington consensus. These last events…have merely punctuated what appears to be a foregone demise: as said, hyper-modernity is certainly not in functional need of a Catholic Church: the Anglo-American Commonwealth, whose facial traits over the years have been approximating ever more crisply those of Orwell’s Big Brother, has given the world ample proof that it can perform, solo, all duties, sacred and profane alike. It is the “New Vatican.”
Yes, the Church has not yet fully bought into abortion rights, gender theory, or the abolition of the family, but as seen under Pope Bergoglio the Church is making regular inroads against its own positions on these issues. Meanwhile the Church (and Christianity in general) is rapidly losing followers throughout the West. The continued hollowing out of the Church by its globohomo cretins has all indications of continuing apace with very little pushback.
With the Church skinsuited, this is the hierarchy of power in the modern world:
Ultimately, this world is controlled by the Demiurge; see Matthew 4:8-9 where Satan offered Jesus control over the nations of the world and while Jesus said no, he did not dispute that Satan had the power to do so. Those hoping for a materialist solution to the fallen nature of this world are going to be - as they always have been - sorely disappointed. There are no major institutions left within the United States or worldwide that have not experienced this hollowing out process and rot, and any attempts to change this situation have been rapidly dismantled and destroyed.
This is why a turn inward to understanding the structure of the modern world (via the privately owned central bank scam, the egalitarian ratchet effect and the real history of World War 2) and a focus on individual spiritual growth is needed at this time.
Thanks for reading.
As you know, most Catholics would be unpersuaded by many of your characterizations of our beliefs here. But I think you’re quite right that there’s a powerful, maybe dominant leftist faction in the Church today that is doing all sorts of evil and abominable things. You didn’t mention one of the worst desecrations: Pope Francis brought an idol into the Vatican. I also agree that many of the errors of these leaders exploit Christian ideas – as Chesterton said, their ideas are ‘Christian virtues gone mad’. But why think that we’re seeing the true face of the Church in these errors, rather than see the errors as a part of a general decline? Many people think we in the West are declining, helped along by many factors including some that you document. When civilizations decline to the point where they get destroyed or have to be renewed, all sorts of things decline: religiosity, fecundity, a sense of purpose. Looking at history reveals a pattern. Lots of people fall away from religion, but a small core usually remains. Eventually, the consequences of decline are horrible, and many people return to faith. The small core that has held onto the faith then informs the wider public. And indeed, we Christians could say that the cycle of decline is a secular way of describing the way sin affects individuals and whole peoples. They sin, they fall away from God, they get punished, and they return to God.
Very interesting article as well as your other one describing how Christianity was possibly developed to subvert the Romans.
Both articles have put into question my own faith. I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic grade school and the belief in Jesus and his message of love, kindness to others and forgiveness still hold strong within me; although I lost faith in organized religion a long time ago.
All this brings me to these questions... Is faith in Jesus and the practicing of his tenants a good thing or is it making me passive and going against my own self interests? Should I become a self centered aggressive person to ensure my own survival?
Also, how does one cope with death if there is no faith in God or a higher purpose of our lives?
