NEEDED CLARIFICATION ABOUT DEFLECTION AND DENIAL.

 (Posted by Frenchie)

Some of the most powerful weapons of Satan and his fallen angels, are lies, deception and denial of his own existence. This is the main reason behind his title of the GREAT DECEIVER. As I engaged last month in denouncing the fact that two of our most well-known politicians, who are running for the office of Governor for our island while being freemasons, and advertising themselves as Catholics; I was fully aware of the type of adversity I would be facing. Several friends warned me about possible retaliations, both spiritual and temporal. A couple of priests close to me, suggested some very powerful prayers of protection, while a group of parishioners volunteered to pray the Rosary for my protection and that of Tim

As you see, there was no delusion about what we were facing. Therefore, it was not surprising a couple of days later when "anonymous" appeared in the comment section below the articles. Anonymous had taken the task to bring us contradiction from his point of view. It became very clear, very fast that this person was ready to try to deflate our analysis.

Having faced for over 13 years the personal attacks from Neocats, failed Clergy and their minions, we know what to expect. As I explained over 10 years ago, we are faced by the old tactic of the 3Ds. For the new readers on this blog, I am not referring to three-dimension images, but rather Denial, Deflection and ultimately Destruction (or at least attempts at destruction) 3 Ds.

Our freemasonry advocate first tried to pose as an open-minded debater, while slowly peppering his comments with grossly ridiculous assumptions, false statements and mischaracterizations. So far, no surprise. As this bombardment of arguments, picked up in intensity, I noted that the flow was very scripted and repetitive. Having debated Marxists, Atheists, Neocats and the likes for several decades, this was certainly not a surprise. Nor was it a surprise for Tim Rohr, who first saw the onslaught and joyfully engaged our contradictor, with simple questions. It did not take long for our obviously disgruntled debater, to switch to deflections. Feel free to consult the tit for tat in the comments section.

Let's look at the argument presented to us.

Part one of three

First Part Denial

I )"New" Freemasonry is an open book, more like a modern fraternity of good, spirited people.

Well, what a nice picture. Whatever old conflict the Freemasons might have had with the Church, it was a very long time ago, according to our Masonic Catholic. Things have "evolved" (despite continuous and repeated Church Statements) Now Freemasonry is a benevolent, all-inclusive fraternity, who has grown past these pesky issues. If only this was true, I would be the 1st one to celebrate. Sadly, the facts are divorced from the cruel reality.

 The constant message and advocacy by freemasons, starting in 1717, with a strong intensity in the 1950s and 1960s, and a more polished communication today, regarding the Catholic Church has never wavered, and continue to this day. Here are the strategic recommendations from Masonic Lodge P2:

1) Weaken the concept of the real presence of Christ during the Mass.

2) Take away decorum: No more signs of the Cross, no more genuflections, do away with kneeling, especially during communion, get women and laity to give communion. Start giving communion on the hand, instead of on the tongue, collect some for Satan masses.

3) Promote Laity over Priesthood

(the weaponization of the sexual abuses by failed priests is only one of many ways to degrade the image of priests as shepherd of their flock)

A recent Gallup Poll in the USA has found a preponderance of Americans who have adopted 8 Major Masonic Moral issues. Here they are.

Birth control 91%, Divorce 73%, Heterosexual Fornication 69%, Homosexuality 63%, Birth outside wedlock 62%, Doctor assisted Suicide 57%, Pornography 36%, Polygamy 17%.

II ) Using Protestant and Enlightment Worldviews

Typical of Freemason tactics is advancing Protestant arguments as de facto Catholic Teachings.

Taking us back of course to 1517 and the advent of the Reform Movement that split the Church.

A little knowledge of our own history is necessary, I encourage everyone to look at the Protestant Enlightment Worldviews which were and continue to be the antithesis of the Catholic Aristotelian-Thomist view of Nature, commonly referred to as Natural Law.

The more obvious argument brought forth by our deceiving freemason, pretending to be Catholic is presented as follow:

"A Catholic conscience formed honestly before God guides him, in his personal relation to Christ"

So according to our Masonic theologian, no needs for Catechism, or Canon Law. Definitely a Calvinist concept taking us back to 1517, hardly a modern concept, but surely in contradiction to CCC 1758.

In both cases, the contradictor attempts to negate the subject at hand , which remains the irreconcilability of being a Mason and a Catholic at once. This is a clear case of Denial
