This the concluding part of my series about the American Jewish Committee's glossary of supposedly anti-Semtic terms as published by the so-called United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, who provided Catholic annotations to some of the glossary's entries.
This final commentary focuses solely on the glossary's entry for the adversary and Scriptural passages referring to the synagogue of satan," which was referenced by Pope Pius IX at the end of the Syllabus of Errors, December 8, 1864:
Venerable Brethren, you see clearly enough how sad and full of perils is the condition of Catholics in the regions of Europe which We have mentioned. Nor are things any better or circumstances calmer in America, where some regions are so hostile to Catholics that their governments seem to deny by their actions the Catholic faith they claim to profess. In fact, there, for the last few years, a ferocious war on the Church, its institutions and the rights of the Apostolic See has been raging…. Venerable Brothers, it is surprising that in our time such a great war is being waged against the Catholic Church. But anyone who knows the nature, desires and intentions of the sects, whether they be called masonic or bear another name, and compares them with the nature the systems and the vastness of the obstacles by which the Church has been assailed almost everywhere, cannot doubt that the present misfortune must mainly be imputed to the frauds and machinations of these sects. It is from them that the synagogue of Satan, which gathers its troops against the Church of Christ, takes its strength. In the past Our predecessors, vigilant even from the beginning in Israel, had already denounced them to the kings and the nations, and had condemned them time and time again, and even We have not failed in this duty. If those who would have been able to avert such a deadly scourge had only had more faith in the supreme Pastors of the Church! But this scourge, winding through sinuous caverns, . . . deceiving many with astute frauds, finally has arrived at the point where it comes forth impetuously from its hiding places and triumphs as a powerful master. Since the throng of its propagandists has grown enormously, these wicked groups think that they have already become masters of the world and that they have almost reached their pre-established goal. Having sometimes obtained what they desired, and that is power, in several countries, they boldly turn the help of powers and authorities which they have secured to trying to submit the Church of God to the most cruel servitude, to undermine the foundations on which it rests, to contaminate its splendid qualities; and, moreover, to strike it with frequent blows, to shake it, to overthrow it, and, if possible, to make it disappear completely from the earth. Things being thus, Venerable Brothers, make every effort to defend the faithful which are entrusted to you against the insidious contagion of these sects and to save from perdition those who unfortunately have inscribed themselves in such sects. Make known and attack those who, whether suffering from, or planning, deception, are not afraid to affirm that these shady congregations aim only at the profit of society, at progress and mutual benefit. Explain to them often and impress deeply on their souls the Papal constitutions on this subject and teach, them that the masonic associations are anathematized by them not only in Europe but also in America and wherever they may be in the whole world. (Pope Pius IX, The Syllabus of Errors, December 8, 1864.)
This would all be "obsolete" just a century later when the "Second" Vatican Council issued Gaudium et Spes and Dignatitis Humanae on December 7, 1965.
Pope Pius IX, however, condemned what the conciliar revolutionaries have sought to do at and since the “Second” Vatican Council: be reconciled to the world.
Doubt my word?
Well, perhaps you might accept the evidence provided by the mythical “restorer of tradition,” Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI:
Let us be content to say here that the text serves as a countersyllabus and, as such, represents on the part of the Church, an attempt at an official reconciliation with the new era inaugurated in 1789. (Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology, p. 382.)
What happened in 1789? Wasn't there some kind of anti-Theistic revolution in France, the elder daughter of the Church? What did Pope Leo XIII write about such reconciling with the principles of the revolution just a year before he promoted the Bishop of Mantua, Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, to be the Patriarch of Venice?
Every familiarity should be avoided, not only with those impious libertines who openly promote the character of the sect, but also with those who hide under the mask of universal tolerance, respect for all religions, and the craving to reconcile the maxims of the Gospel with those of the revolution. These men seek to reconcile Christ and Belial, the Church of God and the state without God. (Pope Leo XIII, Custodi Di Quella Fede, December 8, 1892.)
Jorge Mario Bergoglio is codifying a complete “reconciliation” between “the maxims of the Gospel with those of the revolution” and by seeking “to reconcile Christ and Belial, the Church of God and the state without God.” Each of the current line of antipopes has paved the way for everything that the Argentine Apostate is doing currently. Bergoglio is just being kind enough to be very direct about intentions as he knows that most Catholics who are attached to the structures of the counterfeit church of conciliarism have grown us knowing nothing other than conciliarism’s corruption of Catholic Faith, Worship and Morals. He knows that most Catholics “just want to get along” with all others and that it “doesn’t make any difference what you believe as long as you are a ‘good’ person.” As to those Catholics who might and do object, Jorge simply dismisses those are being “rigid” and Pharisaical.
Bergoglio also knows that most Catholics do not know anything about—and would not care even if they were made aware—of the fact Pope Saint Pius X explained in very precise terms what would come of beliefs such as those held and promoted by The Sillon that became the basis of “globalist,” “one world religion” view of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and his counterfeit church of conciliarism:
We fear that worse is to come: the end result of this developing promiscuousness, the beneficiary of this cosmopolitan social action, can only be a Democracy which will be neither Catholic, nor Protestant, nor Jewish. It will be a religion (for Sillonism, so the leaders have said, is a religion) more universal than the Catholic Church, uniting all men become brothers and comrades at last in the “Kingdom of God”. – “We do not work for the Church, we work for mankind.”
And now, overwhelmed with the deepest sadness, We ask Ourselves, Venerable Brethren, what has become of the Catholicism of the Sillon? Alas! this organization which formerly afforded such promising expectations, this limpid and impetuous stream, has been harnessed in its course by the modern enemies of the Church, and is now no more than a miserable affluent of the great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)
I have spent such time on the "Translate Hate" glossary even though most Catholics all across and up and down the vast expanse of the ecclesiastical divide during this time of apostasy and betrayal will not even know of its existence or pay any attention to it. However, as the Americanist spirit of religious indifferentism and a fear of being termed an anti-Semite unjustly requires a refutation of lies and a defense of the truth against old-fashioned verbal intimidation. We have baptized and confirmed to bear witness to the truths of the Catholic Faith no matter what it may cost us in human terms, and to be soldiers in the Army of Christ requires us to arm ourselves with the spiritual armor of the Holy Faith against error as we entrust all things to Our Lord through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother, especially by means of her Most Holy Rosary.
A blessed Sunday in the Octave of Christmas and Commemoration of Saint Thomas of Canterbury to you all.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
Saint Thomas a Becket, pray for us.
