Freemasonry and the Church Q posts 1630 & 1633 mention freemasons. So many have been deceived by the "the deceiver" (satan). So many think that the Vatican is part of the cabal and is an evil entity in and of itself. This could not be further from the truth and it's quite evident if one does a little research of the facts. I'm not saying that there are no freemasons or no globalists who seek to promote its narrative within the Church. There certainly are those who have chosen to side with the enemies of Christ within the Catholic Church and its hierarchy. There is no doubt about this and in fact, it is documented that the freemasons have had a plan for nearly 200 years now to infiltrate the Church in order to destroy it from within. The document is called "Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita, by John Vennari. The Alta Vendita is an Italian branch of the freemasons and this document was handed over to Pope Leo XII by a former freemason who converted to Catholicism. A link below contains a webpage with some of its text and other information surrounding its contents. Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita Popes have been condemning freemasonry since 1738 when Pope Clement XII created a papal bull which banned Catholics from becoming freemasons. A number of Popes since have written encyclicals condemning freemasonry and reiterating its war against Christianity and the Church.
