Archbishop Vigano – Ecclesiastical Freemasonry

Viganò Suggests Bertone is ‘Contiguous’ to Freemasonry

Published on August 26, 2024August 26, 2024 by Kathy Clubb4 Comments

In his recent interview with Franca Giansoldati, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò accuses Cardinal Tarscisio Bertone of having Masonic sympathies. Bertone, who is still alive, was Secretary of State to Benedict XVI and he continued in that position for the first seven months of Francis’ pontificate.

*Like Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Bertone’s coat-of-arms includes a tower, which according to Masonic heraldry, represents the Masonic temple.*

Bertone is widely regarded as one of Benedict’s ‘gatekeepers’, one who controlled the flow of information to the Pope; he admitted to knowing months in advance of the Pope’s decision to resign. Bertone’s farewell address to Benedict, flatters the Pope for his decision, even though elsewhere he said he did not agree with it:

“All of us have realized that it is precisely the deep love that Your Holiness has for God and the Church that prompted you to make this act, revealing that purity of mind, that strong and demanding faith, that strength of humility and meekness, along with great courage, that have marked every step of your life and your ministry…”

Cardinal Bertone’s Farewell Address to the Holy Father

According to Viganò, it was Bertone who exerted pressure on Pope Benedict to have Viganò removed from the Secretariat of State and subsequently transferred to the US as Nuncio. All of this was aimed at stopping Viganò from exposing financial corruption in the Vatican. Viganò was also abruptly evicted from his Curial home the day he turned 75, and denied an alternative within the Vatican walls.

Alarmingly, he suggests that his predecessor as Nuncio, Cardinal Pietro Sandri, was murdered for opposing then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.

Said Viganò:

Archbishop Sambi died in circumstances that have never been clarified, after a trivial operation at John’s Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore (which is connected to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum in Davos). McCarrick disappeared for a month in 2011 – simultaneous to the death of the Nuncio – and did not attend his funeral. The death certificate issued to Msgr. Jean-François Lanteaume, Chargé d’Affaires at the Nunciature, did not explain the causes of the Nuncio’s death, nor was an autopsy ever carried out on Archbishop Sambi.

So, what is known about Bertone and does he have Masonic form?

We know that he was part of the ‘Old Guard’: that ‘mafia’ of prelates at the highest levels in the Vatican, who ran things behind the scenes before Bergoglio’s new gang came to town. Parolin is one of these, as was Sodano.

Bertone was responsible for making influential appointments within the Curia, the most notable of which was Cardinal Becciu’s appointment as sostituto in 2011. He also appointed Alberto Perlasca as head of the administrative office of the Secretariat of State in 2009. Perlasca monitored all the department’s financial transactions – including the ill-fated London Sloane Avenue deal and both he and Becciu went on to become central figures in the Vatican financial corruption trial.

Bertone himself is no stranger to accusations of financial misappropriation. In 2015, he was at the centre of the Vatileaks 2 scandal when it was revealed that he had used funds from the Bambino Gesù Foundation to renovate his large apartment in Vatican City. The apartment was apparently designed to house Bertone, his secretary and three nuns and included a rooftop entertainment area; half a million US dollars was diverted from the Bambino Gesù to pay for the renovations. In addition, there was corruption involved in the tendering process and a long-time friend of Bertone was given the contract for the job.

Although the case was mentioned in 2017 during the complicated Vatican finances trial, no charges were laid against Bertone, nor was he even called as a witness – Bertone repeatedly has claimed that Pope Francis sanctioned the renovations. The only conclusion given at the trial was that the Bertone affair was ‘anomalous.’

Yet that event pales into insignificance with older accusations that Bertone was involved in a misappropriation of Vatican funds to the tune of USD $15 million. Somehow this incident was never properly investigated and news articles about it have been scrubbed from the internet.

Bertone is also implicated in serious moral failings within the hierarchy. He knew at least as early as 2008 that Theodore McCarrick had slept with seminarians and although he was one of those responsible for placing sanctions on McCarrick, did nothing to enforce them. Also, despite his integral role in the McCarrick case, Bertone was not mentioned in the McCarrick Report.

But without a doubt, the most serious affair Bertone has been involved in was the deception surrounding the Third Secret of Fatima. Bertone, along with then-Cardinal Ratzinger and others, fabricated the interpretation of the Third Secret which was announced to the world in 2000. Their interpretation said that the ‘bishop in white’ who was murdered actually referred to the attempted assassination of John Paul II, that predictions of a chastisement actually referred to the Church’s ongoing opposition by the world and so on. Bertone met with Sr. Lucia on three occasions, claiming she approved their false interpretation as well as the inadequate Consecration made by Pope John Paul II. (For anyone with doubts: where are the fruits of this Consecration?)

It is difficult to fathom the magnitude of this betrayal by Bertone, Ratzinger, John Paul II and their clique. To firstly ignore and then misrepresent Our Lady is treachery of the most hideous kind.

If, as Archbishop Viganò suggests, Bertone is at the very least least, adjacent to Freemasonry, then this only adds insult to the injury of Holy Mother Church. Bertone should be added to the list of prelates who need our prayers: at 89, he has not much time left for conversion, and without it, an eternity in hell awaits him and all those who profit from their status in the Church or go so far as to mock the Mother of God.

Archbishop Vigano’s extraordinary interview with Steve Bannon

Published on July 4, 2022 by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

Well, I think it’s extraordinary, anyway.

A prince of the Church, a man cut from the same cloth as St Peter, opines on the Great Reset, its connection with the Bergoglian pontificate and a future time of peace. It makes for wonderful reading, and I’ve included a few highlights here. [The full interview is here.]

In some of your other statements, you have spoken of a “golpe bianco” (a “silent coup”).
A “silent coup” is a coup d’état that takes place without the use of force, carried out by a government that exercises power in an unconstitutional way.
In this case the coup was carried out in all the Western nations almost simultaneously, beginning with the first years of the 1990s. For Italy, this coup began with the divestment of investee companies and the privatization of services that normally burdened the treasury, such as health and transportation services, following the directives given by high finance to Mario Draghi on June 2, 1992, on the yacht Britannia. Yes, Mario Draghi, who at the time was General Director of the Ministry of the Treasury and whom then-President of the Italian Republic Francesco Cossiga called a “cowardly businessman.” In other nations this coup took place in an analogous way, with a series of progressive transfers of sovereignty to supra-national entities like the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. With the introduction of the euro [in 2002], monetary sovereignty was removed from the nations adhering to the Maastricht Treaty, transferring it to the European Central Bank, which is a private bank. This bank decides the rate with which it finances national budgets, using money that these same nations have already given it. In practice, the European Central Bank demands interest on money that it only returns a penny at a time, and only on certain conditions: reforms, cuts in public spending, the imposition of laws promoting gender equality, abortion rights, the indoctrination of children, etc. The introduction of a balanced budget requirement into the [Italian] Constitution – as if the State was a company – was also part of the silent coup.
All the members of these bodies, including the same rulers who have been appointed at the recommendation of non-elected powers or have succeeded in winning election thanks to the manipulation of information, are at the same time the servants of high finance power groups or of large investment funds – some were their employees, such as Draghi of Goldman Sachs – others became employees after their term ended. Just like the drug agencies and health organizations are composed of former BigPharma employees, who often receive consulting contracts and who are paid by the very pharmaceutical companies they are supposed to be keeping an eye on.
Up until the pandemic, power was in practice still managed at least formally by individual nations, and laws were passed by Parliaments. But for the last two years, the Parliaments have been deprived of authority, and all those whom the World Economic Forum and other lobbies have succeeded in placing at the high levels of governments and international institutions have begun to legislate against the Constitution and the interests of the Nation, obeying orders given to them from on high – “from the markets,” they tell us – which in fact is made up of a very small number of multinational corporations that engulf competing companies, flatten professional skills with damage to the quality of the product, and reduce the protection and wages of workers thanks to the complicity of unions and of the Left.
In short, we are governed by a high command of usurers and speculators, from Bill Gates who invests in large farms right on the eve of the food emergency or in vaccines just before the outbreak of the pandemic, to George Soros, who speculates on the fluctuations of currencies and government bondsand along with Hunter Biden finances a bio-laboratory in Ukraine.
To think that there is no relationship between the instigators of these crimes and those who carry them out at the highest levels of national governments, the EU, and the UN is a sign of bad faith, because even a child could understand that we are held hostage by a group of technocrats who are ideologically deviant and morally corrupt. The peoples of the world need to reclaim their sovereignty, which has been usurped by the globalist elite.
The instigators of this crime show themselves proudly at the Davos Forum, at meetings of the Trilateral Commission or the Bilderberg Group along with the rulers, prime ministers, directors of newspapers and television broadcasters, CEOs of social bankers and directors of social platforms and multinational corporations, bankers and directors of ratings agencies, presidents of foundations and self-styled philanthropists. All of these share the same agenda – which they publish on their websites – and are so confident in their own power that they affirm it with impunity – as Soros and Schwab have recently done – that it is necessary to create a narrative to be conveyed through the mainstream media, in order to make their decisions acceptable to the people. They embrace censorship and mass manipulation as instrumentum regni, and we have had proof of this both with the pandemic farce as well as with the pro-Zelensky propaganda in Ukraine.
We must understand that our rulers are traitors of our Nation who are devoted to the elimination of populations, and that all of their actions are carried out in order to cause the greatest amount of harm to citizens. It is not a problem of inexperience or inability but rather of an intentio nocendi – a deliberate intention to harm. Honest citizens find it inconceivable that those who govern them could do it with the perverse intention of undermining and destroying them, so much so that they find it very hard to believe. The main cause of this very serious problem is found in the corruption of authority along with the resigned obedience of those who are governed.
The Catholic Church also, beginning with the revolution of Vatican II and above all during the last nine years of the Bergoglian “pontificate,” has experienced the same cognitive dissonance: the faithful and the Clergy have resigned themselves to obeying mere cynical officials – who are no less corrupt and perverted than their counterparts in the deep state – although it has been evident that the purpose of the alleged “reforms” has always been the systematic destruction of the Church by its highest leaders, who are heretics and traitors. And I note that the deep church has had recourse to the same false arguments in order to pass off the doctrinal, moral, and liturgical dissolution: first of all, the false contention that those reforms were requested “from the ground up” and not imposed with force from on high. Just like the reforms planned by the World Economic Forum, the Bilderberg group, and the Trilateral are adopted by their infiltrators in the highest levels of nations and international organisms, making it appear that their plans are ratified by popular consent.
Is there any analogy between what is happening in the Catholic Church under the pontificate of Jorge Mario Bergoglio?
The deep church is an offshoot of the deep state, in a certain sense. For this reason it should not surprise us that we are witnessing the demolition of Faith and Morals in the name of ecumenism and synodality, applying liberal errors in the theological sphere; and on the other hand the transformation of the Papacy and the Roman Curia into a politburo in which ecclesiastical authority is both absolute and also released from its fidelity to the Magisterium, following the modalities of the exercise of power in a communist-type dictatorship. The law is no longer founded on Justice but rather on the convenience and utility of those who apply it: it is enough to see how harshly the clergy and faithful who are traditional are treated by the Vatican, and on the other hand with how much indulgence the Vatican praises notorious pro-abortion activists (I am thinking of Biden and Pelosi among the most striking cases) as well as the propagandists of LGBTQ ideology and gender theory. Here too, liberalism and communism have formed an alliance to demolish the institution from within, just as has happened in the civil sphere. But we know that contra legem fit, quod in fraudem legis fit – that which circumvents the law is done against the law.
Your Excellency, do you believe that the world can return to God?
The world can and must return to God: this is a necessity dictated by the divine order that the Creator has imprinted on creation. It must return to God, because only where Christ reigns can there by true justice and true peace. And the world can do this, but not in a collectivist or communitarian vision in which individuals disappear into the mass, but rather in a personal and individual vision, in which each one of us freely recognizes that nothing can be better than what Our Heavenly Father has prepared for us, since He loves us and wants to make us sharers in His glory.
If we all return to God, our Nations will also recognize His Lordship and will conform their laws to His Law. Let us pray therefore that what the Psalmist sings may be realized: Laudate Dominum omnes gentes; laudate eum omnes populi (Ps 116:1)– Praise the Lord, all you nations, praise him all you peoples. Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia ejus; et veritas Domini manet in æternum (Ps 116:2) – For his Mercy is confirmed upon us, and the Truth of the Lord remains forever.

Archbishop Vigano on Freemasonry

Published on June 24, 2022 by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

The following is taken from the video interview between Italian journalist, Armando Manocchia, and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. The English transcript is from LifeSiteNews.

A Manocchia: Can it be said that the West is in crisis because it rejects God and the natural law, and above all because it underestimates the value of life and has made a huge mistake from a moral, economic, and social point of view that has led to the current ethical drift and to moral decline?

Archbishop Viganò: I do not think we can speak of a “mistake;” it is rather a fraud, a betrayal carried out by those who, in positions of power, have guiltily decided to transform Italy into a colony partly of Germany (as far as economy), partly of France (as far as culture), partly of the United States (as far as international politics), and partly of the entire European Union (as far as fiscal policy and so-called reforms). We are always subservient to someone, despite the fact that our country has shown many times in history – in times that were much more difficult and troubled – that it can compete very well with great foreign powers.

The basic problem is that the governments we have had – since the Savoy Monarchy – have been completely manoeuvred by Freemasonry, deciding on reforms, declaring wars, drawing borders and stipulating treaties always and only on the orders of the Lodges. Notoriously Masonic parliamentarians, Freemason ministers, Masonic university professors, primary Freemasons, senior Masonic officers, Freemason publishers and Freemason bishops have obeyed the oath of allegiance to the Grand Lodge and betrayed the interests of the Italian Nation. Today Freemasonry avails itself of its “secular arm,” the Davos Forum, which sets the agenda for the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the European Union, the various “philanthropic” foundations, the political parties and the Bergoglian church.

But the fact that this coup d’état is so vast and branched does not imply that it is less real; indeed, the present situation is very serious precisely because it involves hundreds of nations that are in fact governed by a single elite group of criminal conspirators. On the other hand, there is no need to talk of “conspiracy theories”: just listen to what the main architect of the Great Reset, Klaus Schwab, said on May 23 while speaking at the Davos Forum: “The future is not built by itself: it is we [of the World Economic Forum] who will build the future. We have the means to impose the world we want. And we can do this by acting as a ‘stakeholder’ in the communities and collaborating with each other” (here and here).

The Ukrainian crisis is also part of this plan: “With the right narrative we will use the war to make you green.” Schwab’s advisor, Yuval Noah Harari – who sums up all the “talents” of the woke intellectual as an Israeli, homosexual, vegan animal rights activist, who is anti-Putin and anti-Russian, as well as fiercely against Trump – went so far as to state shamelessly: “In ten years, everyone will have a brain implant and eternal life in the digital realm… Google and Microsoft will decide which book we should read, who to marry, where to work and who to vote for…” (here). Harari is the author of various essays, including Sapiens. Da animali a dèi. Breve storia dell’umanità. [Sapiens. From Animals to Gods. A Brief History of Humanity] (2011) and of Homo Deus. Breve storia del futuro. [Homo Deus. A Brief History of the Future] (2015). It is the nonsensical raving of the transhuman man who thinks he can defeat death and make himself a god.

The fraud carried out against the Italian people was that of making them believe, beginning in the nineteenth century, that it was their will to free themselves from the yoke of the tyranny of the various pre-unification Italian states, under the aegis of the Piemontesi rulers who were obedient to Freemasonry; that it was their will to rebel against the authority of the legitimate Sovereigns in the name of “freedom,” without understanding that they would be subjected to much worse corrupt individuals; that it was their will to get rid of the Savoy Monarchy in the immediate post-war period in order to set up the Italian Republic in its place; that it was their will to join the European Union with the mirage of the Eldorado [that it would lead to wealth and prosperity], and then find out what deception all this represented. And who was behind these demands for freedom, democracy, progress? Always and only Freemasonry, with its servants infiltrated everywhere.

Perhaps the time has come for Italians to begin to decide their own future without it being dictated by full-blown traitors, and for traitors to be judged for what they are – criminal conspirators – ousting them forever from politics and from any possibility of interfering with the life of the country. Let the magistrates and the police remember that very soon those who supported this dictatorial regime will be considered a collaborator and condemned as such. A jolt of dignity and honor on their part right now would still be credible.
