NEW ITALIAN CATHEDRAL TO PADRE PIO DESIGNED AS MASONIC TEMPLE!?

(Sent to us by: Joseph Saraceno)

IS THE NEW CATHEDRAL TO PADRE PIO IN SAN GIOVANNI ROTONDO ACTUALLY A "MASONIC TEMPLE"?

I have just received and am in the process of studying a special issue, #381 (March 2006), of the Italian religious magazine “CHIESA VIVA”. It is my understanding that in March 2006 this special issue was sent by the publisher/editor of “Chiesa Viva”, Dr. Monsignor Luigi Villa, to Catholic & 'catholic' priests, Bishops, Cardinals, as well as a selected group of Italian lay persons including members of the judiciary. This entire special issue deals with only one subject, that being the inauguration in July 2004 (construction began in 1996) of the new Cathedral dedicated to Padre Pio of San Giovanni Rotondo. The authors allege that after years of study they are now able to prove that this new church is in fact, NOT a Catholic Church, but rather a “Masonic temple”!

The authors (the engineer Franco Adessa) further allege that they have analyzed the complete church structure including the entry doors to the church, the altar plus the cross that hovers over it, the chapel of Adoration with the Tabernacle made out of jet black stone with the 13 plaques of silver as well as the immense stone cross that towers 40 meters over the piazza.

The authors allege that Masonic symbols are apparent everywhere. The authors allege that their special issue of Chiesa Viva has put into focus an alleged Masonic plan to DO battle with God by attempting to destroy the Catholic Church with Masonic Ecumenism. According to the authors the most devastating aspect of this blasphemy is the direct insult to the Holy Trinity and Our Lord Jesus Christ that have been symbolically displaced from the Cross and the Tabernacle and replaced by the blasphemous “Masonic triple trinity” and of Lucifer in person.

The authors allege that this story is one of money, power and control that go to the very top. To date news services around the world seem to be totally unaware of what has allegedly transpired in San Giovanni Rotondo, not one word has been uttered by the Vatican or other officials and millions of devotees to Saint Padre Pio are unaware and would be outraged if they ever suspected that their donations (estimated to be over $250,000,000.00 US) had been used to allegedly defame their beloved Saint!

If these allegations are in fact verified the scandal could be enormous. Millions of Catholics devoted to Padre Pio would be shocked and angry. The scandal would involve huge sums of money, the defamation of a Sainted Priest loved world wide by millions, the undermining of Faith, the undermining of the Catholic Hierarchy. It seems that officially no one in the Vatican is talking about this alleged scandal, even though a special reunion took place in San Giovanni Rotondo, on May 1 through May 6, 2006 attended by 150 Vatican experts including the Secretary of State Sodano. Ostensibly these experts converged on San Giovanni Rotondo to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the hospital (Casa di Sollievo della Sofferenza) by Padre Pio. Their meetings were open to the public during the day, however, their closed door evening meetings were allegedly dedicated to high level discussions of the Chiesa Viva special issue #381.It was subsequently reported, confidentially, that the Vatican has adopted an official solution that essentially amounts to total silence on this matter! If this is true then the allegations of Chiesa Viva may be much more than allegations and silence on the part of the Vatican is tantamount to conceding victory to Chiesa Viva. How long can this story be kept under wraps before the devotees of Padre Pio find out that they and their saint have been betrayed!?

Yo...Thor be here!

"The authors allege that after years of study they are now able to prove that this new church is in fact, NOT a Catholic Church, but rather a “Masonic temple”!"

Now I have neither seen photos nor plans for this, but I was aware it was under construction. Between that and the fact that my Italian stinks, I need more input before I can comment intelligently. But I am very curious about this.

The statement I quoted above could actually be applied to every newly constructed or freshly wreckovated Catholic church I have seen - or at least seen pictures of. There is more then one set of comparison photos of a Masonic Temple and a NO church. There is no mistaking the VERY obvious similarities, which we know are intentional.

Intentional as they are not the mere whim of some stoned architect, but of the USCCB.....and all the way to Rome. The form and layout are both standardized AND mandatory. No accidents here.

I will eagerly await the English translation.

But consider this: the Mother Church of the world, St. John Lateran in Rome. What is its focal point? The CHAIR!!!! Carved into the foundation upon which the CHAIR rests are four ancient evil symbols. That is what is in the apse - not a tabernacle nor high altar, And it has been that way for about over 500 years. What does that tell you? Where is the tabernacle? Good question!

Secondly, almost as if Richard Vosko designed it, the high altar is plopped in the middle of the room, as it has been for centuries. In the center of the Crossing. Above it, in a gilt (literally) cage, are the heads of Sts. Peter & Paul.

The two Apostle/founder of Christian evangelization held captive by the Mammon of the Church administrators. None too subtle, eh?

This is therefore not the first time in church history that evil symbolism has been used. But in other times it was not common, and somewhat obscure to the average person.

As per the Padre Pio Shrine, anything with the number 13 is far from obscure, as that number is sacred to Masonry. I can't wait for pictures!

The Crypt:

"Based on Renzo Piano's design, the body of Blessed Padre Pio of Pietrelcina will be moved from its current resting place in the church to a magnificent Crypt in the basement area just below the Liturgical Hall.

This crypt is one of the most impressive features of the entire complex. Situated in its traditional location, directly underneath the floor of the presbytery, it will directly connect to this part of the church via a ramp. The Crypt is semi-circular in shape, has an approx. 550 square metre area and can seat 500 pilgrims.

The radial pattern of conical vaults designed for its ceiling is intended to heighten the spiritual character of this structure, which has its focal point in the tomb of Blessed Padre Pio. The saint's function as a spiritual pillar of faith is echoed by a monumental circular pillar placed in the middle of the crypt. The pillar is over 4 metres in diameter and took 74 hours of non-stop work to install. An innovative cement mix was purposely designed to prevent high temperatures (which could damage the foundation structure) in the hardening and setting stages."

The Cross:


The Chapel:

"This chapel, also called "The Chapel of the Eucharist", stands on one side of the Vestry and the Liturgical Hall. As its function is to lead man to God through the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, its interior design is meant to bring about spiritual elevation. .

"Of the virtue of religion, adoration is the main act. Adoring God and recognising Him as God, as the Creator and Saviour, Lord and Master of all that exists, infinite and merciful Love. "Only to the Lord God shall you prostrate yourself, only Him shall you adore (Le 4,8), said Jesus, quoting Deuteronomy" (n. 2628 Catechism of the Catholic Church).

"Christ resolved to be present in His Church in this quite unique way. Since He was about to depart visibly from His dear ones, He donated to us His sacramental presence; since He was in the process of sacrificing Himself on the cross for our salvation, He wanted us to have a memorial of the love with which He loved us 'to the end', up to the point where He gave His life for us. In His eucharistic presence, in fact, He remains mysteriously among us, and remains so in the form of signs which express and communicate this love" (n. 1380 CCC)."

The Tabernacle:

"This is also a unique opportunity that we are giving our readers, namely the publication of the first pictures of the silverware made by Floriano Bodini for the Chapel of the Eucharist.

The Chapel of the Eucharist stands on one side of the Vestry and the Liturgical Hall. As its function is to lead man to God through the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, its interior design has been designed to bring about spiritual elevation.

The Tabernacle containing the Blessed Sacrament is the chapel's most salient feature and the place where Adoration takes place. The Tabernacle designed for the new Church is an octagonal conical stele placed on an octagonal marble base.

The main body of the tabernacle is made of black lava stone from Mount Etna and is three and a half metres high. Its upper part is covered in small, hand-embossed silver tiles depicting the mystery of the Eucharistic bread.

In place of the usual outward-opening doors, the tabernacle has a system with lateral runners. When opened, the two parts of its small door glide to the left and right and push out two tiles. As these suggest arms projecting on either side, the overall impression is that of a cross whose optical and focal centre is the Holy Eucharist.

The hand-embossed silver door of the tabernacle depicts a Pelican, a symbol of the Eucharist and a theme familiar and dear to Blessed Padre Pio, who dwells on it in letters dealing with the infinite love of God for His children.

The image of the pelican, a bird which gives its blood for its young, was likened by St. Thomas d'Aquinas to Jesus Christ: "Oh Pious Pelican, Lord Jesus, cleanse my unclean self with Your Blood".

There are twelve embossed silver reliefs, six from the Old Testament and six from the New."

P.S. This picture is from the images of the dedication of the New Church which are found on the first page of the website. I'm guessing this swimming pool is the baptismal font??? And, my isn't the chair prominant??

I hate modern art. I wanted to be an architect when I was young so bad I could taste it. I decided against it for several reasons but one was my taste in art and architecture was so old fashioned I thought I would never be able to earn a living.

Every Church today looks like a Masonic temple to my eyes so you really can't expect me to be too surprised by this.

I haven't really read this thread too closely, are they saying the Masons are using this Cathedral? That would be a wholly different kettle of fish. If so we will have to file this one in the neocom file under camels they will swallow while they choke on the SSPX disobedient gnat.

Melchisidech,

De nada. It was an interesting article you posted and I was curious to see what we were talking about...

THIS was just posted at AQ with a link to here.

Site owner... I wonder if this will result in more AQ posters showing up here?

Don't mind me... just trying to figure out why "Site Owner didn't show up... for one thing I hyphenated it but I will try this with and without a space after the first name...

The following was just posted on FR:

Declaration on Masonic Associations (1983)

It has been asked whether there has been any change in the Church's decision in regard to Masonic associations since the new Code of Canon Law does not mention them expressly, unlike the previous code.

This sacred congregation is in a position to reply that this circumstance is due to an editorial criterion which was followed also in the case of other associations likewise unmentioned inasmuch as they are contained in wider categories.

Therefore, the Church's negative judgment in regard to Masonic associations remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and, therefore, membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful, who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.

It is not within the competence of local ecclesiastical authorities to give a judgment on the nature of Masonic associations which would imply a derogation from what has been decided above, and this in line with the declaration of this sacred congregation issued Feb. 17,1981.

In an audience granted to the undersigned cardinal prefect, the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II approved and ordered the publication of this declaration which had been decided in an ordinary meeting of this sacred congregation.

I wanted to inform everyone who has already posted to this thread that there is now a hyperlink to highlights from the Italian magazine article:

MARCH 2006 CHIESA VIVA SPECIAL EDITION

The web site itself looks quite interesting as well, particularly the section on masonry, i.e. massoneria.

Sorry Mark, here's the link:

Masons going nuts

Well there goes the thread. This is what it reads now:

This thread has been locked, it will not receive new replies.

Locked on 07/20/2006 9:47:04 PM PDT by Admin Moderator, reason:

Toxic thread.

I am waiting for the whole thing to be pulled before the day is out let alone being locked from new replies.

That FR thread was about dead anyway. The Masons were coming out of the woodwork to defend the indefensible. First they are not a secret society, then they are but one of several that "happen to be secret." Then they are not religious, but they post pictures of the DeMolay bibles. Then they are only a sectarian group gathered together in brotherhood and fellowship. Then they are solving the world's problems because of their influence in politics. Blah, lies, blah, lies, blah, lies, blah.

If one wants the real background, true lunacy, and listing of downright dangers in the Masonic Order, check out this website. It gives all the ammo necessary to cause even a 33rd degree-er to sweat:

Love the pic!

As someone else said (I think on the FR thread), its rather like the Monolith in 2001: A Space Odessy.

.......should I throw a bone at it, like the primoridal ape-man in the opening scenes?

    There are unscrupulous people on the internet these days.  Some of them are not who they claim to be and in order to disrupt honest spiritual pursuits, they are known to send out e-mail under someone else's name or the name of another church or jurisdiction with attachments.  Anyone can do this, if they want.  Some of them exist in Toledo, Ohio... Some in Texas... Others in Michigan, California and many other places... Some are "haters of truth" who follow (whether they are willing to admit it ) those who have sway over less educated or ignorant people... as their are also those who do not even know what they are doing because they seek glory to satisfy their own vanity and selfish pride to take over a church or jurisdiction of another, or to wreck havoc over those whom they hate without considering the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ. 

    If you should ever receive an e-mail with an attachment claiming to be from anyone at "apostle1.com" - "apostle1.org" or even "apostle1.net" - - - know that our policy is to not send out e-mail from any of our domain names with an attachment except to those only who know us.  Please note that apostle1.com news messages not include file attachments. If you receive an email not meeting these strict guidelines, please do not open it under any circumstances. Instead, forward it to apostle1.com (thaddeus@apostle1.com) so its contents can be examined by our various affiliates. Therefore, don't open it! If you receive any e-mail from apostle1.com, apostle1.org or apostle1.net and have never before communicated with us... even if you have communicated with us... verify, verify and again, verify.  And, We do not open e-mail that is not identifiable or known to us either.

Unless we know exactly from whom an e-mail comes... nothing is clicked on or opened, especially those with attachments!  You would be surprised from whom 'hate' e-mail arrives and what attempts and extremes they go to make their e-mails "look" official when it is a lone person(s)  who hate TRUTH and love lies, hate anything from being posted that involves TRUTH because they may be affected with exposure to the LIVING TRUTH of Jesus Christ's Love. 

Also: Hang Up Telephone Calls constantly get to you?

We get them all the time.  But one thing we do many are unaware of... We keep an automatic telephone log and then we turn them over to the same group who monitors and interacts with the hackers, etc.

It no longer matters if the caller telephones once in a day, every other day or every day or several times a week, once a week or for several months... All get logged, even those who think they have escaped notice by using the actual I.D. Caller number of "000-000-0000" which is has been used, even those who don't show up on caller I.D. as hang-ups now. With new technology being what it is it only takes one ring at a person's (receiving phone to activate some of the new technology being used which locks the caller's phone number in, even when they use by-pass alternate numbers to make shrewd calls).  We are advised one caller is facing terrorism criminal charges even though he used three different go-through numbers ranging all around the world, but were found to originate their call from California.  Hmmm.... what does this tell you?   Others, we are advised were found to be out of Michigan, Ohio, even Illinois and another state.

It is known that a telephone number showing up on some caller I.D.'s may actually be a telephone service provider phone number, yet... they too keep logs and information as to each individual cellular or local (their locale) phone usage... 

In the not-to-distant future, we intend to post some of those telephone numbers and, hopefully, persons, which constantly show up as "harassing hang-up" callers.  May be, you too have the same? 

Keep Watch!

Those who do such unscrupulous things, HATE some of the news, quotes, and such as to inform the general public.  Some of them pose as clergy, while a few are actually clergy from various "other" offshoot AMERICAN ORTHODOX CHURCH or other jurisdiction(s) of the same or similar name of which we are, in some instances, their former MOTHER CHURCH (as is the same named Toledo, Ohio based, an offshoot, who had once been a part of us and unknowingly to our unworthy selves, were once a part of the clergy but they did not obtain permission to leave the jurisdiction they were under, according to Canon, and thus obtained for themselves re-ordination and consecrations, several times... and then using a variety of church names, including our own after they were defrocked and excommunicated, having more than three (3) times being excommunicated by other legitimate apostles/bishops); having joined in and with  "Independent" churches who have nothing to do with us or even true Orthodoxy.  We have the information on their numerous "Paper Church" names and name changes.  But the real issue is whether they were ever truly an ordained Priest and bishop?

It is true that when one is ordained to the priesthood, the old saying of "Once a Priest, always a priest forever..." holds true... But where there has been or is deception and fraud involved, the old saying is invalid altogether which is the stool kicked out from under any subsequent consecrations as a Bishop for the Episcopacy has then been obtained on a sheet of lies and therefore they are frauds, wolves in sheep's clothing.  The problem here is with civil authorities and agencies. 

Any documents a false one obtains from those who ordained him, including subsequent documents relating to consecrations; civil authorities never (or hardly ever) verify their validity and thus issue their own documents and errantly recognize the individual. 

These false sheep in wolf's clothing seek to go out of their way to character assassinate and disparage religious web sites who do not meet their own brand of standardization and those who know where the proverbial "bones are buried on them" which is evidence of the wolf not being "Orthodox" "Christian" or even "Catholic" no matter what their nomenclature corporate name may be.  The Toldeo, Ohio based same or similar named person/group under his/their so-called leader has been deposed, defrocked and excommunicated more than three different times by various bishops/apostles.  He, and several others, have become just as bad as the modern day Ecumenists of the National Council of Churches, World Council of Churches, the World Council of Bishops and more.  It matters not now... whether they use the so-called name of "Athonite" "Benedictine" "Celtic" "Old Roman" "Old Catholic" - etc..  A name does not make one Christian. Their ultimate aim and goal is destruction to those from whom they had either originated from or gone through to obtain the same or similar named "church" they claim to hold to by the state's civil law in which they reside alone.  They are not a "Schema-monk" or even a true "monk" for they were deposed and excommunicated for violations of the Holy Rule they claim to subscribe to, giving and openly providing false misleading and inaccurate information about other more honorable clergy.  These 'wolves in sheep's clothing attract other nefarious and questionable persons whose aims are similar: for fame, image, power and glory, and if it should be that 'fortunes' come along, all the more is their power based.

    Remember, anything that is a HALF TRUTH is not truth but a lie!  Many there are that you may know who fit those descriptions... pray for them.  Pray that God will send his Spirit of Truth upon them and lead them to Salvation through tears of Repentance, conversion of their cold and calculating hearts toward seeking forgiveness from God and those whom they attempt to harm. 

    Those who receive e-mail from us, know who we are and from where we send mail.  There are also many who know that they can send e-mail under another group or person's e-mail address, which has been happening.  If you receive e-mail that purports itself to be from us, verify first by hitting your "reply" button and ask, "I received this e-mail but would like verification if it is from you." 

    If you are of another jurisdiction, you too could find that your parishioners, clergy and faithful might become subject to the same as we have recently found. 

    Let this be a warning to visitors so as to be safeguarded against unscrupulous e-mails which contain viruses, worms and unsavory material from person(s) organizations or institutions that are more self-serving than uplifting and informatively news worthy. 

    For ourselves, we have, as in the past, so once again, acquired the assistance of those who are able and capable of tracing e-mails back to their source and taking appropriate action in North America. 

    We have learned that the organization we subscribe to, whose members come from various legal and law enforcement backgrounds amongst other areas of society, are committed to the faith even though they may hold different theologies.  Yet, in their monitoring of electronic communications of various persons or people, they do not always make haste to bring perpetrators to justice until after enough evidence has been gained in order to build a solid case.  We do not always know what information they have gained, but we do know the organization, whom we've been asked not to name, has had a 97% success rate in bringing to justice and obtaining a conviction against individuals, people, and sometimes even religious organizations of a persona that gives the appearance of both secular and religious bearing but who abuse and misuse technology.  The organization views those who abuse and misuse the internet and other technologies as nothing more than a form of "domestic terrorism" - - - - and, it would seem to appear that the courts are in agreement!

 Those kinds of people, organizations, etc. who misuse and abuse communication technologies are no different than those who attempt to use coercive measures, and in some instance, even blackmail for the same idea is involved... to cause havoc and wreckage, to destroy the spirit and activity of those who struggle in the faith out of pain of heart for the Orthodox Church which is TRUTH. The degree that some have been known to go to, as seen by other jurisdictions, is to take advantage of questionably mentally challenged or those who have a lack of education and understanding to get them to make statements, even outright lies, in writing, in order to destroy.  Such persons or groups are spiritual terrorists for unholy and un-Orthodox causes, aims and goals.

    Yes, our Metropolitan Archbishop, +Joseph Thaddeus, SSJt., Ph.D. strongly defends the Seals of the Confessional for such leads to true Repentance in thought, word and deed whereby the penitent is required to make amends, where possible, to seek forgiveness of those harmed by his actions whether real or imagined, and to give his forgiveness to those who have harmed him before taking the Holy Body and Blood in the Eucharist, Jesus the Christ.  The reality of this understanding is bound up in and with the findings for which cause he, himself, had been character assassinated by his detractors who claim the courts prevented him from breaking the Seals of the Confessional which is not the truth at all.... Click here to see what another bishop's findings are...

    The workings of Holy Spirit will not be daunted by those who attempt to cause disruption!  It is for these and other reasons that you are urged to read what true repentance and forgiveness means for real "Christians".
