Pontiffs and Nationalisn

 Pontiffs and Nationalism

By Augusto Espíndola


Translated from the Spanish by Roberto Hope

Taken from Nacionalismo Católico San Juan Bautista




This work was intended to be published as an appendix to Professor Jorge Camacho Ruiz' book Manual de Doctrina Nacionalista (Manual of Nationalist Doctrine). Unfortunately, our colleague and friend died in an accident recently, for which reason we hope his work can be published posthumously, and, while conditions do not present themselves for such thing to take place, we advance our contribution at the same time that we request a prayer for the eternal rest of him who did so much for Argentine Nationalism, including his family in our request.


In memory of our brother, friend and colleague Jorge Camacho Ruiz. RIP


Pontiffs and Nationalism

To finish this magnificent work by Professor Camacho, we have been given the opportunity to make a final contribution in the form of an appendix to the book, dealing with a topic that, because of ignorance and prejudices existing over it, may turn out to be uncomfortable for some but elucidating for others, We believe, however, that possessing appropriate information, the facts would be assessed in a form different from how they have been up to now.


Accepting and thanking the Professor's generosity, we will proceed to make a summary of a writing on which we have been working for several years already. It has to do with the Pontiffs' participation in the interwar period especially.


Having this manual dealt with the matter of the "Bluebeard Room" extracted from Federico Mihura Seeber's book “Noticias de ayer, de hoy y de mañana” ("News from yesterday, today and tomorow") we intend to complement this clarifying chapter with the matter referring to the Papal intervention in war conflicts between States that, as properly indicated by the author, signified the defeat of the last effective resistance against the New World Order, and of the almost omnipotent advance of the forces of evil, placing themselves above every government of the world to impose the contra natura in all its forms and attacking especially the true religious principles, tarnished today even by Church hierarchy itself.


In her apparition at La Sallette, in the middle of the nineteenth century, Our Heavenly Mother warned us in the aforementioned sense by prophesying: "Civil rulers will all have a single plan, namely to abolish and make every religious principle disappear, to give way to materialism, atheism and all sorts of vices.

With respect to the matter quoted at the end of the preceding paragraph, the Virgin at La Salette said: "Rome will lose the faith and will become the seat of the Antichrist". We are witnessing all this in our days and, consequently, we affirm the actuality of the message of Our Lady of La Sallette, for which reason we coincide with Mihura Seeber's conclusions in the quoted chapter.


It cannot be denied that a causal connection exists between the outcome of the Second World War and the current state of the world, having the victors attained an unbounded power which manifested itself immediately upon the end of the war conflict, and which Salvador Borrego masterfully documented in his book, titled with equal precision, "Derrota Mundial" ["Global Defeat"].


It is now for us to analyze if the Pontiffs reigning in the Church during that period had a role to play in such conflict and if their participation in some manner gravitated upon the final outcome of the conflict. Many sectors in Catholic traditionalism affirm that the terrible situation the Church is going through now began with the Second Vatican Council. We not only do not share such a premise but we will support our postion on information demonstrating that said crisis began in years much earlier than those when the Council took place, being the latter only the culmination of a shameful period of acquiescence. This takes us to the point of seriously considering, in agreement with what Mihura Seeber expressed, that the victory that some day shall come can only be one belonging to Our Lord Jesus Christ.


It is proper to clarify that, even considering seriously the possibility of the proximity of the Parousia, we side with the ever urgent calling to put up a good fight for our faith and our fatherland, the which, adhering absolutely to what has been abundantly demonstrated by Professor Camacho, can only be carried out from and by Catholic Nationalism.


If we talk about crises in the Church, it can be said, not without reason. that they have always taken place, but in speaking of the present one, it is worth mentioning that in Medieval times, the occupants of the Petrine Seat had as recurring temptation one related to acquiring political power, as opposed to that in modern times, in which such temptation appears to be signaled by acquiescence with the policies of those who are the official holders of these temporal powers and subjecting themselves to them and sometimes even subjugating themselves to them on certain occasions, To support this harsh assertion, we will refer to a not so unknown but indeed sidestepped situation as regards its importance. It has to do with the beginning of the relationship between the Church and the House of Rothschild, that happened when the Holy See, with Pope Gregory XVI as pontiff, requested a loan from those we now know are at the top of the world, the ruling Judeo Masonic elite. This was the way James Mayer Rothschild became the official banker of the Pope. The loan was renewed with Pius IX, matter that strengthened the position of the number one usurious bank of the world, and it cannot be avoided to consider the weak position in which the Holy See was left by having as its creditors such obscure personalities. In a world in which finances are what condition all governments by means of their "eternal" debt, it turns out to be reasonable to consider that, being indebted to the Rothschilds entails an immense conditioner, even when a narrow margin of action remains.


As precedent we can mention what happened in the Middle Ages, especially at their end, when Catholics, to avoid condemnations that could even include excommunication for lending with interest, would seek evading these rules by hosting Jewish communities, so that these would be the ones granting such loans. However, it was not only ordinary Catholics who resorted to the services rendered by Jewish lenders, but it were even kings and emperors who did it. According to the Jewish Library [1], even the Cid had been one of the beneficiaries of such loans and, as recognized by the referred source, "the notion ot Wucherer (usurer) was considered to be Jewish since the thirteenth century.". Such source mentions that interest rates reached 36% but in case of arrears they could reach 100%, using pledges at the beginning and mortgages later, such source textually referring: "In this way the Jews acquired in pledge houses, vineyards, farms, villages, castles, towns, and even lordships". For this reason, it becomes clear that this anti-natural practice, under which money engenders money with no effort or cost other than the supposed risk which, as we can see, was not such by having such unlimited guarantees. Quite clear is the reference to the perfidy of these lenders in the character of Shylock in Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice".


We have to say then, that subjecting in such a manner to those who, according to their sacred code, the Talmud, consider non-Jews, especially Christians, to be their enemies and recommends treating them in all dishonest ways possible, clearly entails a situation of dangerous dependency as we have demonstrated in our book "El Infierno en la Tierra" ("Hell on Earth") [2]. We refer to those people that, in spite of representing only 0.2% of world population but owning over 80% of the major communication media to publicize them, and almost the entirety of international banking to finance them, are promotng all kinds of subversive policies in the entire world.


The French Revolution begins demonstrating that the unlimited liberty proposed was only for the liberals, exacerbating the pressure on the Church. We had at that time a Pontiff, Pius VII, who traveled to personally crown Napoleon Bonaparte as emperor while the Emperor of the Sacred Roman Germanic Empire was still alive and, having been humiliated and with him the entire Church, in the crown being grabbed away from him by the reprobate French military man who crowned himself. In the French Revolution "goddess reason" was enthroned in the figure of a semi-naked prostitute, and Napoleon demonstrated how the temporal powers would keep on subjugating the ecclesiastic power, aiming to relegate it to a position of little importance.


And with the modern democratic conceptions gaining ground in the Western Christian world, we saw the Church beginning to be oppressed (and sometimes even with the connivance of its hierarchy), by this totalitarian conception of existence, not considered only as a form of government but considered even in a quasi religious aspect, in which man collectively is converted into his own god, and legislates defining what is good and what is evil by a majority of votes.


This was how Pius XI first had to flee from the Papal States and return later, not being able to leave again, being he a prisoner of the Kingdom of Italy, situation which, after his death, would continue with his successors.

And it was the Pontiff that succeeded him, Leo XIII, who condemned the popular sovereignty of modern democracy in his encyclical "Diuturnum Illud" making it clear that, regardless of the form of election of rulers of States, power comes always from God. However, in 1892 he encouraged French Catholics to support the government of the Third Republic in detriment of the Monarchic Catholics. His encyclical "Au milieu des solicitudes" provided the arguments for what is called "Ralliement" which signified in fact the definitive giving up of the Catholic monarchic aspirations that opposed this republican government, openly hostile to the Church, Leo XIII considered that such hostility to the Church came from the opposition of the republicans against those that would intend to restore the Catholic monarchy, for which reason he decided that the best solution would be supporting the republicans instead of our side, situation that has been carried to the point of paroxysm in today's Church.


As documented well in Jean Madiran's book "The two democracies", the Pontiff's praxis on political matters contradicted his own teaching; for example, he would write against the so called "Americanism", which referred to the attempt of compromising doctrine and ecclesiastic discipline with the modern world; however, he was fascinated with North American democracy. In an interview held by the Pontiff and transcribed by this author: "The United States, which are a republic despite the inconveniences derived from an unlimited liberty, grows every day and the Catholic Church has developed there without having to carry out struggles against the State. These two powers concur quite well as they should concur everywhere on condition that one does not usurp the rights of the other; their liberty is truly the foundation of the relationships between the civil powers and the religious conscience. The Church demands freedom above all; my authoritative voice must be listened to so that its objective and its attitude be not denatured but for wrongly founded attacks. What is convenient to the United States is convenient for a greater reason to republican France". Madiran points out how these statements opposed the Pope's own encyclical "Libertas" and was even against Pope Pius IX's "Syllabus". But it was clear, as we now see, that it is intended that the praxis, regardless of how opposite it may be to doctrine, affects not the latter. [3]


The problem arises when, instead of opposing error wherever it is manifested and whoever it is who expresses it, starts to justifiy it by trying to find a context under which it can merit consideration according to circumstances; or at least by attenuating it only because of it coming from some ecclesiastic representative regardless of how important he might be. And from there we pass from the black to the rose legend, and blind obedience obscures our reasoning, something that we sadly owe to Jesuit influence in the Church.


What is concrete is that, despite the good magisterium of Leo XIII, his actions showed to be condescending or, at least, passive in face of the advance of the secularism that the new democratic current brought with it. Rampolla, Secretary of State of Pope Pecci, is accused of having influenced in that direction, but the person responsible was, without doubt, the Holy Father.


Rampolla is, without doubt, a personality that cannot be left without serious consideration in talking about the crisis in the Church, being he the second in command under Leo XIII, had great influence on key personalities in the subsequent history of the Church. Pope Leo XIII charged him personally with taking young Eugenio Pacelli as his protegeé, and had as personal secretary his man of highest trust, Giacomo della Chiesa; that is, the future popes Benedict XV and Pius XII.


Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro was accused of belonging to freemasonry, specifically to the particularly diabolic OTO lodge, Ordo Templis Orientis, to which Aleister Crowley "the most evil person in the world" belonged. It is proper to mention at this point the Conclave that took place upon the death of Leo XIII, in which Rampolla was leading the votes when Cardinal Puzyna, Bishop of Cracow, in the name of Austro-Hugarian Emperor Francis Joseph, pronounced the Right of Exclusion which was an ancient veto granted to some German and Austrian emperors and Spanish kings, by means of which, for the protection of the Papacy, they were permitted to intervene in papal elections in extraordinary situations. Despite Rampolla's protest, the candidate who was in second place began gaining votes while those favoring the prior Pontiff's Secretary of State were diminishing, and this is how the Church had the last great and saintly Pontiff up to now, Pope José Sarto, who took the name of Pius X


Many are the hypotheses by which it is believed such veto was exercised, but it seems to us most worthy of consideration the one related to his supposed affiliation to OTO; hypothesis that was supported by Monsignor Jouin, tireless fighter against the masonic sect and to whom the proper term "judeo masonic" is attributed. For further information we recommend the article "Did a Freemason almost Become Pope? The Story of Cardinal Rampolla", published by the journal Catholic Family News [4]. A not minor fact is that even the lodge itself mentioned the Cardinal as belonging to it.


Even considering the hypothesis of Rampolla's masonic affiliation doubtful or hardly likely, what is unquestionable is his position favoring secularism and openly francophile, we referring to that France daughter of the Revolution of 1789, nation which had gotten close to czarist Russia by intervention of the Cardinal, nations which would become allies against Germany, Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.


We know how Saint Pius X was a barrier not only to ecclesial modernism but also to the revolutionary influx of liberal democracy that was beginning to spread all over Europe and the rest of the world. With great personalities such as Cardinal Merry del Val and Cardinal Louis Billot, to whom a great participation in the Encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis is attributed, condemning the theological modernism that so much damage had been doing before the reign of said pontificate and would keep on doing after the end of his pontificate and

until our time.


It is not to this Pontificate to which we will refer, since it can be considered to be the one truly catholic in doctrine and praxis in so much time until this moment in which everything seems to be irretrievably overwhelming until some Divine intervention should determine its end.


Upon the death of Saint Pius X, having Rampolla by then also died, Giacomo della Chiesa accedes to the Petrine Chair with the name Benedict XV, who as we said above, had been the personal secretary and man of utmost confidence of Cardinal Rampolla´s.


To have a reference based on what has been mentioned above, Benedict XV was the pontiff who suppressed the Solidatum Pianum which was a society established by Saint Pius X to restrict the infiltration of modernism in seminaries.


Della Chiesa was the pope reigning at the time that the First World War broke out and despite his efforts to achieve peace being clear, he seemed to see in patriotic or nationalist attitudes a flame that lit rancor among European Nations. This notwithstanding, he could clearly see the arbitrariness of the Treaty of Versailles that humiliated the defeated in this conflict and which at the end would turn out to be the fuse that would ignite the next great war conflict. Another topic in which these pontiffs seem to have absolutely failed to realize is the role of international Judaism in the genesis and development of these conflicts, seeking to attack the consequences but not the causes. In this context the Israeli converted to Catholicism, Benjamin Freedman, as a live witness of the events that provoked these conflicts, attests to the role of international Judaism in the creation of the conflicts and in the immense treason against Germany on the part of those that had been generously admitted by such nations.


As Benjamin Friedman demonstrates, Germany, practically victorious in the fratricide conflict, offered peace to England by returning to the status quo preceding the war. The United Kingdom, having exhausted its reserves and being null its possibility of success, was about to accept, when, as noted by Freedman, Zionism made the following offer: "We guarantee to bring the United States to the war as your ally to fight at your side if you promise to give us Palestine when the war is over" [5] Freedman was a person close to puppet Woodrow Wilson, the president who had promised to keep the US away from the conflict, lying to his electorate. At the same time, the Jewish Federal Reserve Bank was financing the Bolshevik Revolution, facts that can be found even in Wikipedia. The weak and pusillanimous Russian monarch, Czar Nicholas II, fighting against his own relatives, allied with the allies of his enemies', which ended up meaning the end of his life and of all his family, and the end of Russia's liberty up to this day. Revolution which was financed by the international Jewish banks headed and led 85% by Israelites. Today we see Our Lady of Fatima´s prophecy being fulfilled perfectly, in which she warned us that if Russia did not convert, it would spread its errors all around the world. And our Celestial Mother did not warn us against either National Socialism or Fascism. And now we see both the supposedly right wing liberals and the communist nations present themselves as enemies but they together foster the cultural Marxism agenda that undermines the essence of the Christian roots in the entire world.


Benedict XV died in 1922 and was followed by Achille Ratti, with the name of Pius XI. At this point we can see how the Vatican's hierarchy turns absolutely and decidedly to the side of the enemies of nationalism and in favor of those who represented all the internationalist ideals of Judaism, and with them, the combat against all Christian values. This claim may seem to be exaggerated but events demonstrate overwhelmingly the truth of our categorical affirmation.


Once again, this Pontiff's magisterium shows to be unmistakenly orthodox; however, in its relations with the nations of the world, it leans ostensibly in favor of the enemies of the Church. We thus see how today's situation is not new or original, and we go on to chronicle the events.


Without going into details, some of which have been mentioned in this work, we have to take into account that, at that time, the so-called "Roman Question" was present, by which Italy was attempting to get rid of the temporal power of the Holy See with its annexation of Rome. This situation was resolved at the request of Benito Mussolini, first minister of Italy, granting the Vatican the sovereignty it had lost under the kingdom of Italy, retributing the Church economically for the losses it underwent under such Kingdom, exempting clerics from compulsory military service, establishing religious instruction in state schools, giving back to religious marriage its sacramental character recognized by civil law, among many other regulations favoring the Church. It is important to highlight the Duce's contribution, because of the subsequent negative attitude of Pontiffs toward his government.


In the meantime, having the immense danger of international communism that extended its influence all over Europe and captured the Government of Spain's Second Republic, unleashing the red terror over our Mother Country and having, aside from civilians, 4,840 priests, 2,365 religious, 283 nuns, and even 13 bishops murdered in one of the most cruel religious persecutions of the twentieth century. Pius XI condemned Communism but he showed to oppose nationalism, for which reason, in spite of the massacre against the Spanish people, especially of its religious, which he had the duty to protect, he decided not to intervene because of the closeness of Franco and the Falangists to the German National Socialism and the Italian Fascism, both of which contributed decisively to the victory of the National side.


This same Pontiff condemned the Catholic monarchic Action Francaise and its best exponent, the illustrious anti-democratic thinker Charles Maurras. This politician and thinker supported Catholicism as State religion in spite of having been agnostic prior to his conversion, showing himself to be an opponent of the laicism brought about by the French Revolution. He accomplished the transformation of the original idea of this movement from that of republican nationalism to one of monarchic nationalism. However, he was a victim, along with his movement, of the Vatican Intrigues that kept on meddling in matters that did not pertain to them and, besides, benefitting the enemies of the Church and of Christian Europe. In that respect we quote Calderón Bouchet: " Maurras had stated that when a Pope mixes the function proper to his spiritual magisterium with some political entanglement, what results is fatal to the life of faith, thus, the consequence of that which we could call his opening to democracy was the birth of religious democracy in France" which was what happened with the Ralliement of Leo XIII, and which Maurras himself would suffer personally with the same attitude of a later pontiff [6]. Calderón Bouchet notes that Pius XI had greater sympathy for the French Left than for Action Francaise and Maurras condemnation came from presumed writings attributed to Maurras which were never found. The Pontiff considered that too much influence was exercised on the youth (thank God, we say) and the condemnation was so ridiculous that the militants in said movement were excluded from the sacraments, as also reading his works was prohibited. In spite of excommunication threats and of some defections such as that of traitor Maritain, Action Francaise, that fought in the streets against Communism, affirmed, in Maurras words that, given the situation of France, the Fatherland cannot be let down, and that the suppression of the movement entailed betraying France. Cardinal Billot, who had been one of the doctrinal pillars of Saint Pius X's pontificate, had great affinity with this movement and, in face of the arbitrary condemnation of the movement and of its principal exponent, renounced to the Cardinal biretta.


Without extending ourselves to a topic sufficiently discussed in our environments, we have to mention the unavoidable topic of the Mexican Cristeros. In face of the imposition of the Constitution of 1917 that in fact proscribed the practice of Catholicism, peasants, workers and students, male and female, reacted preferring death to the loss of faith at the voice of "Viva, Cristo Rey" ["Long live Christ the King"). These soldiers of Christ, lacking resources and military experience, fought in a civil war for three years to resist the attack against the Church, defending their priests and bishops. Mary Ball Martínez, in her very commendable book "The Undermining of the Catholic Church", tells how Cardinal Gasparri, Pius XI's Secretary of State, "advised members of the Mexican Hierarchy not to encourage the fighters. He alerted the United States' bishops against yielding to requests of economic assistance" to the Cristeros [7]. In spite of all that, the Cristero Movement was growing and put in check the government of protestant freemason [and marrano] Plutarco Elías Calles, who was beginning to reconsider his actions. However, it was Pius XI's Secretary of State who encouraged some bishops more disposed to shady deals, to arrange a pact with the Protestant and freemason Dwight Morrow as intermediary, to agree a peace plan. In October 1929, the Cristero army, that was the virtual victor in the conflict, at Vatican's request, to lay down their weapons unconditionally, which resulted in the extermination of almost all leaders of the Catholic movement and the continuation of all anti.Catholic measures that the masonic government had offered to abolish. Up to our days, and as a result of Vatican diplomacy that relied more on freemasons, Jews and Communists than on true Catholics, Mexico continues being a nation ruled by Freemasons


If we add to the aforementioned passivity to intervene in favor of Spain's National side, and that referred to the Action Francaise, no room is left to justify in any way or manner the actions of this Pontiff at key moments in which the destiny of Europe was at stake, and with it, that of the entire Christian West. However, we will refer to an event we consider still more scandalous and which is scarcely known or absolutely unknown in our environment. We refer to the Vatican´s intervention in favor of the re-election of freemason and genocidal US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.


In 1936, the new Secretary of State of Pius XI, Eugenio Pacelli, was visiting the United States when Roosevelt was seeking his re-election. At that time, a patriotic priest born in Canada named Charles Coughlin manifested himself against Roosevelt's new presidential aspirations, a candidate who had already given signals of his affinity with Communism. Coughlin had a radio program called "The Radio Priest" which at that time enjoyed an audience of some 30 million. Father Coughlin showed how Roosevelt was working for the Jewish bankers, and Father began showing affinity with the European nationalist movements. It was at that time when Pacelli sought to disable the Canadian priest's resistance. Accompanied by a highly questionable personality that was Boston's Monsignor Francis Spellman (who later received his cardinal proclamation from Pacelli, being then Pope) undertook a tour through several ecclesiastic provinces in which he promoted Roosevelt, who would later refer to Pontiff Pius XII as "my good old friend" and, at the same time, he would censure Father Coughlin. Mary Ball Martínez notes that "the future Pius XII stayed as a guest at the home of Myron C. Taylor ... in spite of it being well known that Taylor was a 33rd degree Freemason" [8] We should keep in mind that President Roosevelt was the president who sent the "Abraham Lincoln Brigades", made up mostly by Jews, to fight on the Communist side in the Spanish Civil War


We know that the entry of the United States into the Second World War was due to a subterfuge by Roosevelt, overwhelming Japan in all forms possible to instigate that nation to attack, and the well known treason in Pearl Harbor against its own men by means of which, knowing the advance of Japanese aviation he orders to alter the course of American troops to allow the attack. Just as his predecessor Woodrow Wilson in his electoral promises, freemason Franklin Delano Roosevelt had assured the nation that it would not intervene in the European conflict.

According to journalist and politician Giulio Andreotti the drafting of the encyclicals against Italian Fascism and German National Socialism are of Pacelli´s authorship, as well as his decision to travel to the United States to support Roosevelt's re-election. And if we talk about this pupil of Rampolla's who attended the Visconti partisan secondary school as well as the Capranica progressivist seminary, upon assuming the position of Pontiff he continued his activities in support of the Allies.


A fact that appears to us to be conclusive is the relationship of the Pacellis with the Rothschild banking house, which is provided to us by the above quoted author, Mary Ball Martínez. She notes that "The Pacelli and Montini families since a long time before had been involved in Vatican affairs. Pacelli's grandfather, Marcantonio had moved to Rome from the province of Viterbo in the 1840s when his brother Ernesto, member of the Rothschild banking firm, committed to make a loan to the Papal States under Gregory XVI. Ernesto stayed to establish the first office of Banco di Roma, while Marcantonio became Gregory's legal advisor and later of the Pontiff's successor, Pius XI, to finally accompany him in his exile at the coastal town of Gaeta when political disturbance in Rome became threatening.


It is appropriate to remember that the Second World War took place when the United Kingdom and France intended to show solidarity with Poland because of Germany's attack to defend that country's German population that was being exterminated in Polish soil, but they did nothing to the Soviet Union when they were invading the other half of that nation. In fact, as is well known and has been extensively documented in revisionist historiography, it was the United States, the nation that helped Communist Russia defeat the Germans. That is, once more did Capitalism enter in the aid of Communism. It is appropriate to mention that in 1933, in face of the advancement of the successful German policies that did away with the rule of usury, pornography, and Communism which had produced immense poverty and degradation of the German people, producing six million unemployed, an international boycott of the Jewish nation against Germany, with its famous declaration "Judea declares war on Germany" with which it becomes clear that it was not National Socialist Germany that started the conflict, no matter how much it may hurt these Pontiffs who decided to tip the scales with all their strength toward the internationalist enemy of the entire world.


Turning back to Pontiff Pius XII, having it been demonstrated that as Secretary of State he intervened in the internal politics of the United States, something that in no way corresponds to his ecclesiastic function and, in addition, he did favoring the candidate that was most contrary to the Catholic faith in his principles and actions, we are going to mention a fact that clearly shows which side was the one chosen by the Paccellian Vatican to direct his efforts brazenly in the direction of the Allied side.


We will first recur to Ricardo Galeazzi-Lisi, who noted that "... when Hitler invaded the Netherlands and Flanders, still maintaining his policy of strict neutrality, Pius XII sent sympathy messages to to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and to the king of the Belgians, Leopold". We will proceed with the reference in spite of the contradictions. "Later, the proof that he considered Nazism to be more dangerous than communism when Hitler's armies entered Russia. Against the wishes of the German dictator and of his ally Mussolini, Pope Pacelli never wished to proclaim a holy war against Communism, something that surprised many people highly, but which was entirely in accordance with his thinking and with his political action2 [10]. We are speaking about the same Communism that had murdered millions of Catholics and that fought against every religious principle, and even had been described by Pacelli's predecessor as "intrinsically perverse"; nevertheless, it was for him preferable over the German regime that enjoyed the support of the almost entirety of its people, of which almost one half was Catholic and the rest Protestant.


In the same sense of what we have related above, we quote Mary Ball Martínez again: "In his June message to the College of Cardinals, at the same time he rejected rivalries and groupings dictated exclusively by political and economic interests, he expressed confidence in that the dangers of the right and left could be prevented under the light of the Church. And he went on with the defense of one of the sides that he supported throughout the duration of the war saying: We, as head of the Church, refrain from calling Christians to a crusade. He was careful, he said, in spite of pressures, to ensure that not a single word be permitted approving the war against Russia. While the Hungarian Catholics were dragged by the Soviet whirlwind and cried out for his aid, Pacelli advised them to be patient and endure because the old oak will be hit by the storm but cannot be uprooted" ... "in 1941 French Cardinal Boudrillat came to Rometo ask for the Pope's blessing of the French, Spanish, Italian, Croatian, Hungarian and Slovenian regiments, formed almost in their entirety by Catholics, that departed along with the German Army to the conquest of Soviet Russia or, as the Cardinal put it to the Pope, to liberate the Russian people ... Pope Pius XII frustrated the hopes of Cardinal Boudrillat, as he ordered tha the benediction request be withdrawn immediately. In addition, the Cardinal was prohibited from establishing any kind of contact with the press" [11].


To contrast the Pacellian attitude against the Catholic patriots and in favor of the atheistic reprobates, we quote one of our great mentors, the Catholic philosopher and martyr Jordán Bruno Genta: "the Germans, at that time in a vertiginous scale of growth, approved the Christian Order of the Slovakian nation. That order was respected, carried out, complied with, in that brief time during which Slovakia enjoyed control over everything that was its own. And I want to tell you something here, because it pleases me to be on the side of the defeated of the World. When the European armies, led by the marvellous German Army, invaded the Soviet Union, I shared with all my heart and with all my soul in the hope that they would defeat God's enemies, the enemies of the human race.

Why did I wish with all my soul the triumph of those marvellous forces displaying that disposition to accept sacrifice and death? Because the triumph of those who turned ou to be the victors in the Second World War, international imperialism and atheistic Communism, would appropriate the entire world, as it is taking place at this time.


Despite the fact that we consider our position on the role played by the Holy See against nationalistic movements, they represented and still represent the natural order in politics. To have this adequately demonstrated, we are going to add one more fact to reaffirm our position. We clarify that this is only a small fraction of the information we have to confirm what is being demonstrated here, the entirety of which we intend to present in a writing we are now working on and hope to be able to publish later. Mussolini's wife, Rachele Mussolini, in her book "Mussolini, an Intimate Biography" denounces the presence of Roosevet´s envoy, the aforementioned well known 33rd degree freemason, Myron Taylor, who was sent to the Vatican on September 30, 1942, regarding whom she says "...there is a point that only few people know about: During the last world conflict, Italy was officially in war against certain nations which in all cases had their Ambassadors to the Holy See at the Vatican. Since the Vatican has no airport, where did they land and from where did they fly back? well, from Rome of course, which means they were able to cross the territory of a nation against which they were at war. On the other hand, where was the Vatican? well, where it has always been.. in the center of Rome itself. Who was the best informed person in Rome? the Pope with his close to 30,000 priests disseminated throughout the territory.


Here I qualify what I have said. I am not affirming that those priests were spies paid by the enemy but I do say that within the bounds of the Holy See it would have been very difficult not to allow leaking certain information. This information, regardless of how unimportant it may have been, was being exploited by people whose job was precisely to gather information, and who knew how to draw conclusions that were not evident to the common man. That was precisely what our dear Mr Myron Taylor was doing. Back in the United States, he informed Roosevelt that the Italians were starting to get tired of the war and that boosting the dose it would be possible to put them on their knees. And actually that was what happened, those who may question this just have to remember when was the period that allied bombardments over Italy were intensified: it was after September 1942" [13] This noble woman lamented the Vatican's immense treason against her husband, who had done so much for the Church, and we cannot but agree wholeheartedly with her.


A fact that may serve to strengthen what I have said above is that Myron Taylor's book "Wartime Correspondence", published in 1947, contains letters between President Roosevelt and Pope Pius XII as well as between the Pope and freemason Harry Truman, all of which written in the most amiable terms.


A last fact added to finish the topic of the relationship Pius XII - Roosevelt is what was mentioned by the Zenith news agency [12] referring to the presentation at a Knights of Columbus exposition. of a letter from Pope Pacelli to President Roosevelt, dated August 30, 1943, in which the Pope requests to stop the bombardments on Rome, which had caused over 3,000 civilian deaths and over 11,000 injured. We consider it appropriate to transcribe the entirety of the letter here:


Excellency:

Recent events have naturally centered the World's attention on Italy and it has been said and written much about the policy that the nation could or should follow according to its interests. We fear that it may have been taken as a given that the nation is entirely free to follow the policy of its choice. We wish to express to your Excellency that we hold the conviction that this is quite far from reality. We have not the least doubts about the wish for peace and of its materialization by means of ending the war, but in the face of exceptional forces that oppose this solution, even of the official declaration of this wish. Italy is entirely chained, without the means required to defend itself.

If under these circumstances Italy were to find itself forced to bear the devastating strikes against which she is practically defenseless, we wish and pray for the military chiefs to do whatever possible to save innocent civilians, in particular churches and religious institutions, from the devastations of war. We have to recount with deep sorrow and pain these very evident images of the ruins of the most important Italian cities and towns.

But the guarantee message that Your Excellency has sent us sustains our hope that even before the most bitter experiences, the houses built by Christian charity for the poor, the sick, and the abandoned of Christ's flock, may be able to survive the terrible attack. May God in His piety and mercy hear the universal lamentation of His children and allow them to hear Christ's voice that cries "¡Peace!".

With joy we again manifest to Your Excellency our best and most sincere wishes.

Vatican City, August 30, 1943

Pío PP XII

It is clear where the sympathies of this Pontiff rested, especially in his affirmation that he felt that Mussolini's Italy was a nation "entirely chained", the nation not being free to follow the policy of its choice.


It is well known that, having the axis powers been defeated, all judeomasonic forces appropriated themselves of the entire world absolutely, subjecting all the world nations by means of usury, manipulating intelligences and altering the perception of reality through their communications media and compulsively promoting all kinds of conduct against nature, transforming those who resist from victims into guilty. With the Nuremberg trials, the juridical guarantees of a healthy natural law were eliminated, transforming one of the parties into judges and automatically converting the accused into culpable, making them bear the burden of proving their innocence. With Hollywood, history was transformed into the vision appropriate to the interests of its owners, which in their majority belong to the same race that promoted those world conflicts and financed the allied victory. Also Masonic principles were established as universal values, superior to those of any religion, especially the Catholic.


And finally, now we see how the agenda seeking world depopulation, and control over those that survive is being imposed by the same victors of the last World War in which the Pontiffs sided with the judeomasonic bloc.

We cannot fail to consider that the Axis powers, representing the nationalisms that defended the most sublime European traditions, were the Katechon in politics and, having been defeated, the triumph rests in the hands of Christ, as Mihura Seeber had observed. Nevertheless, we insist on communicating what needs to be in politics, which we affirm is what is present in nationalism and, in our case, the Catholic one.


In spite of having set forth only a fraction of the facts we have gathered for the book we are about to complete, we believe we have set forth sufficient arguments to demonstrate that the Church hierarchy (with the sole exception of St. Pius X) has been meddling in political matters, always in the direction of accommodating with the worldly powers which, ever since the French Revolution, have been decisively represented by judeomasonry


Our confidence continues to be placed on Jesus Christ, the Lord of History; however, in the name of historical truth and of the defense and seeking of the common good, that pertains to us as "political animals" in the words of Aristotle, we keep holding that the solution for our Fatherland and even for the entire world, lies in Catholic nationalism. The Catholic hierarchy's defection neither upsets us nor discourages us, and we understand it as part ot the Misterium Inequitatis which puts us close to Christ's second coming. Nonetheless, it bears upon us to keep resisting the evil and, to that end, we have to have the information necessary to understand the origin of the malaise and not keep fighting only the consequences.


We hope that this small and humble participation can contribute to the excellent work of Professor Camacho-s with the hope that it may serve, even minimally, as an additional element of discernment in times of terrible confusion and darkness.


In Christ and the Fatherland

The Spanish Expulsion of the Jews in 1492

An exaggerated accusation to hide the ones other nations had made


By Alberto G. Ibáñez, author of "La Conjura Silenciada contra España" and "La Leyenda Negra: Historia del odio a España."


Translated from the Spanish by Roberto Hope

There is a Spanish saying:“Unos crían la fama, y otros cardan la lana” ("Some are those who create the fame and others those who card the wool". The first thing that is to be specified is that the Spanish expulsion of the Jews was not entirely such, since only those that refused to convert to Catholicism were the ones required to leave. Therefore, it was not directed against a distinct race or against individuals, but an instrument to force the conversion of those people to Catholicism maintaining their particular race, to force the political unity of the nation, for which purpose no sects or ghettos or groups with separate rules were permitted. For the modern outlook this "offer" could be seen as scarcely generous, but we can ask ourselves why, well into the twenty-first century, other similar phenomena fail to include any possibility of assimilation in exchange for conversion (take for example the Israeli-Palestinian conflict).

The Jews could not be considered a persecuted or subdued people in the Spain of that time. Before 1492 they were exempt from paying the tithe, and those who voluntarily lived in ghettos (who were not, by much, all the Jews) were not obligated to pay municipal taxes. They were landowners, a possibility (that of owning land) that were denied to Jews in othe European countries until centuries later. They elected their own representatives, had their own laws and, at least until 1476, were allowed to name their own judges to settle their business conflicts. After that time, they continued to enjoy a special jurisdiction protected by the Crown. The Inquisition could not touch them except for reasons of bribery of Christians or for blasphemy. In business they had the advantage of being allowed to charge higher interest rates than those permitted to Christians by law. They occupied high positions in tax collecting and in royal and seigniorial administrations. (Felipe Fernández-Armesto El nacimiento de la Modernidad, 2010, p.100)

In contrast, long before and long after the famous Spanish expulsion, restrictions on the life of Jews were commonplace in all of Europe. In fact, expulsions began in England and Wales (1290) and in France (1182 and 1306)  and then they were followed in Vienna (1421). and other regions of Central and Eastern Europe. Still, well into the eighteenth century, a statute in the City of Frankfurt which had been kept in force since the Middle Ages limited the number of Jewish families to 500, who were required to live in a walled ghetto within the city, the Judengasse. Their liberty to move was limited (they were not allowed to leave the ghetto at night or on Sundays), they lived crowded together, some economic activities were restricted to them, among which was farming, and up to 1726 they were required to carry visible signs identifying them as jews. Nothing of this sort took place in Spain.

If it is proper to speak about antijudaism, its origin, if any, takes place in the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) which warned of the danger of economic and marital dealings with Jews. These provisions did not begin to apply in Spain until a century later (Sinod of Zamora), which speaks about the Spanish resistance to see the Jew as an enemy (Joseph. Pérez, Historia de España, 2014, pp 96, 77), Perhaps for that reason, the Jewish community in Spain became the most numerous in all of Europe in the thirteenth century. In fact, the Catholic Kings never intended to get rid of the Jews — many of whom were their own friends — or thought that so many were those that would prefer to leave the country rather than change religion even when more than half should stay.. Their closest collaborators were Jews, and they made everything possible for them to stay at their side. All in all, the alternative, Catholicism, was not alien or strange to Judaism. On the contrary, it had been born as a Jewish sect and shared as a major sacred text the Old Testament. At any rate, it was not, as it has been said, an exclusively Castilian strategy or one ot Queen Isabel's or King Fernando's- it must be remembered that already in the thirteenth century Ramón Lull proposed to liberate the Jews from the influence of the rabbis and "banish the recalcitrant Jews" (quoted by Hugh Thomas, El imperio español. De Colón a Magallanes, 2003, p 98, also p. 101)

The figures of the ones affected have also been manipulated to overstate the Spanish bad fame (hispanophobia). What is certain is that by now it has become clear that those converted surpassed by far the number of those banished and that conversion began quite before, at least since the policy of Sisebuto (year 612), the anti-Jew revolt of 1391 or the dispute of Tortosa of 1412-1414. All that gives a total figure of converts, according to Isaac Abravanel, of some 600,000 towards the end of the fifteenth century although some other sources reduce the number to 400,000 (B. Netanyahou, The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth Century Spain, 1995, p. 1102). At any rate, the number of Jews in the Spain of that time was very important (in a population of some four million in the Kingdom of Castile and eight million in all of Spain, of which those that resolved to leave were a minority (somewhere between 50,000 and 160,000, depending on the authors) staying, therefore, the majority (at least 60%). This image is backed by recent rigorous collective studies of population genetics demonstrating that 19.8% of the current population of Spain have Jewish blood  — while only 10.6% are of Noth African Moorish heritage — which would be impossible had the expulsion been majoritarian. 1. What is not talked about regards the treatment those that chose conversion received from orthodox Jews (some of which never lived in Spain). In this it can be talked about without qualification about a slandered and scorned nation.

Some Jews that decided to convert even became famous attaining after conversion high  positions such as important state officers, university professors; some even from rabbis became bishops (Rabbi Ha-levi became bishop of Burgos, position that his son, Alfonso de Cartagena, inherited), aside from  being allowed to  continue their trade activities. In fact, many of the Hispanized-Castilianized  Jewish last names of that time (the Santángel, Coronel, de la Caballería) continue being present in today´s social and economic elite nowadays, some even with titles of nobility. Among those proceeding from converted families are nothing less than Francisco de Vitoria, Saint Theesa of Ávila, Saint John of the Cross, Cervantes, Fray Luis de León, Fernando de Rojas, Diego Velázquez, even Francisco  Franco himself. 2. Nothing to do therefore with any holocaust (as B.Netanyahou dared to accuse) nor with "racist" attitudes. In short, if Spain had treated the Sephardis so badly, how come, after many centuries, well into the twenty first,, the Sephardis still conserve the Spanish language and part of the Spanish culture?

Spaniards of today see the Sephardis with pride, and consider them brothers that share the same language; in fact, we have granted them the Spanish nationality. Nobody here took them to concentration camps to exterminate them. And, nonetheless, an expulsion at the most partial and qualified, that took place more than five centuries ago weighs heavily over our heads, while other events, much more recent and execrable, clearly identified, go unnoticed (the expulsion of protestants from France at the end of the seventeenth century, for instance) or are taken as a broadside far from representing the sentiment or the image of the nation responsible (Germany in the twentieth century). Why is Spain treated differently? We would not be very antisemitic when so many Jewish bankers from very early made highly lucrative business with Spaniards. A clear example are the Rothschilds and their agent in Spain, Daniel Weisweiler. In 1760 Meyer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) founded the Rothschild Bank —name making reference to the “red shield with a Roman eagle his father hung over his first shop in the city of Frankfurt. In 1820 they were appointed by the Spanish government as their agents for their foreign payments. Beginning that moment, a fruitful relationship was begun that allowed the Rothschilds to benefit (along with their Spanish partners) of the financing of the Spanish public debt, of the world mercury monopoly, and of the Spanish Colonies, among other businesses (A de Otazu, 1987)

And nevertheless, own errors aside, ¿is the State of Israel in condition of giving example? In the war of 1948 intended to occupy territory it considered to be its own, produced the displacement of over 750,000 Arabs, sometimes with a violence truly intense that resulted in many deaths. especially in Lod, Deir Yassin, Abu Shusha and Dawaymeh (A. Wolfe, 2013, pp 303, 304). It can be argued that with such actions it sought to consolidate a strong state unified around a single religion, but that is the same objective Spain intended to attain more than 500 years ago, when it got rid of an arab dominion that had lasted 700 years. The Palestinians of today just as the Jews of that time were a nation without a state.

Lastly, it is fit to ask  ¿“Cui prodest”?, ¿who was benefitted by the expulsion of the Jews? Certainly it was not Spain, who lost a powerful industrial and financial sector and gained a major enemy (at least as a pressure group), neither were the Sephardis. Those that benefitted were the Dutch bankers that were left without internal competitors when the opportunity arose to lend to kings (it would have been a different story had Spain had its own banks), and also the European countries that admitted the Jews, as they benefitted from a number of business entrepreneurs that in addition took with them a culture and very profound philosophy they had learnt in Spain. Moreover, the Renaissance could take place partly by virtue of the culture that the banished Sephardis spread around the world, since they were the final mouthpiece of a disappearing world, that of the three cultures, that which had translated the Greeks by conduct of the Arabs, that of the judeo.christian culture, the foundation, at the end, of all of the Western Culture. And all that in spite of the atmosphere prevailing in Rome against the Jews.

From the above, the exaltation of the black legend about the expulsion of the Jews can only be understood in geostrategic cultural key to favor the image of other powers as much or more blameable or of manipulation consented by the Jewish people itself for reasons that to us seem to be obscure or at least inexplicable.
