THE MASTER PLAN
OF THE DEVIL. THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN ERRORS...
For approximately seventeen centuries men acknowledged that authority comes
only from God, and temporal rulers sought the approval and the blessing
of their bishops who, by divine right, ruled in their dioceses as successors
of the Apostles. Then came the Philosophists. As always, the Power of Darkness
used pride to achieve his aims, the pride of human reason. As always he
called the Light, Darkness and the Darkness, Light (Isaiah 5:20). That
is why the Medieval times are now referred to as the "Dark Ages";
(in fact, the Dark Ages were pre-Medieval), and why Philosophism is referred
to as "Enlightenment".
As always, the
Devil acted with subtlety: he did not bring in Communism immediately, he
brought in Modern Democracy first, knowing that the one would lead to the
other. The lures inherent in the first would more easily lead to the destruction
of man by the second. The Devil acted with cunning. So shrewd is he that
even Christians were deceived. To make a thorough job of it he instilled
into modern minds the myth of historical inevitability. "We must march
with the times" we are told, as if the times were not what we are
making them!
A SUBTLE AND GRADUAL
PROCESS...
The present state of the world is not due to chance, it is the outcome
of the everlasting struggle between good and evil. The Devil knows that
his fight against God has to be gradual if it is to have any chance of
success. Therefore, he began his fight in the 16th century by dividing
Christianity.
When the first battle had been won, the Devil moved from the religious
field into the philosophical field, and conceived Rationalism, which put
human reason before Revelation.
Christians being already divided, there was no single front to defend the
primacy of Divine Revelation. The interpretation of Divine Revelation being
divided against itself, it could not resist the claim of the so-called
primacy of human reason. Human reason appeared more reliable, and so the
new philosophy installed itself. It naturally followed that man began to
think about an earthly paradise.
Hence Rationalism begot Human Messianism (i.e. Humanism). It was then logical
that man should not want to be impeded by standards of moral conduct. He
had to be free from all restraints, and his reason alone was going to tell
him how to act and behave.
Thus came into being the doctrine of Liberalism. Almost immediately, this
doctrine extended to every field of human activity, especially economics,
politics and science. From being philosophical, it became practical a way
of life, the philosophical origin of which, most people do not suspect
nowadays.
AN UNHOLY TRINITY...
After this, Human Messianism combined with Liberalism to set up CAPITALISM,
an economic system based on greed and usury, which paves the way for Communism.
Rationalism and Liberalism combined to give birth to the principle of POPULAR
SOVEREIGNTY, being free and reasonable, every human being was to make all
decisions.
Rationalism, and Human Messianism, combined to give birth to SCIENTISM
(or the cult of Technology, the worship of the work of man, i.e. TECHNOLATRY)
whereby we expect salvation from better and higher production, an error
which was observed by Pius XII in his 1952 Christmas message. We speak
of "Progress" in terms of industrialisation, completely unaware
of "the undeniable advantages of an economy based chiefly on agriculture".
(Pius XII)
DIABOLICALLY LOGICAL...
Thus, the unholy trinity, that is, Rationalism, Human Messianism, and Liberalism,
laid the ground-work for all the evils which are destroying modern society.
Observe how gradual the process has been:
a) Difference in religious views (affecting the soul).
b) Alteration in philosophical thinking (affecting the intellect).
c) Organisation and purpose of the physical world (affecting the will).
Observe how logical the development:
a) REFORMATION (dividing Christianity to weaken Divine Revelation).
b) RATIONALISM (doubting that man can rely on Divine Revelation).
c) HUMAN MESSIANISM (asserting that man can rely on himself).
d) LIBERALISM (trusting man wholly).
e) CAPITALISM (Human Messianism plus Liberalism).
f) DEMOCRACY (Rationalism plus Liberalism).
g) TECHNOCRACY (and Technolatry) - (Nationalism plus Human Messianism).
These developments are too gradual and logical to leave any doubt that
there is an Intelligence behind it. This Intelligence is that of the Power
of Darkness.
A number of Saints have said that, in the Latter Days, evil will be done
by men of good will. There is no doubt that many Catholics believe in good
faith that we are living in an age of progress, and that Modern Democracy
IS Progress. The superficial advantages which it presents hide from many
its intrinsic nature, the errors on which it is based, and the evils which
accompany it.
The deception of the Devil has
worked.
