Are people here finally going to realize that Catholics are fighting this just as hard as everyone else is?
Thank you for this comment. There are many, many, many of us in the Catholic faith that know about the cabal both in the global order and those who have infiltrated the Church and we are fighting against it as best we can.
(This next part is going to trigger a lot of people here...)
There are a lot of documents from known communists, satanists, and masons who have admitted to their plan of taking down the Church from within, because they knew they couldn't defeat it from the outside.
But why would they target the Catholic Church rather than the 40,000 Protestant denominations and even more other non-denominationals? Because there's too many? Because the Catholic Church is the biggest of all denominations? Maybe, but the real answer is because they know that the Catholic Church is the real Church. They don't bother with the others because they know they hold no real power. (Their words, not mine.)
Ask a satanist (yeah I know it's weird, but they will be surprisingly honest) which denomination is the real Church that Christ created, they'll say "the Catholic Church." This is why they have "black masses" to mock the Catholic mass. This is why they steal consecrated Eucharistic hosts to use in their black masses. Why would they do either of these things if they didn't believe the Catholic faith had any meaning or wasn't real? Why not steal stuff from Protestant churches? Why not steal their bread and wine? Because they're not consecrated, and also Protestants don't believe they're the true Body and Blood of Christ anyway, they're just "symbols" I guess...
I'm ready for a lot of angry comments in response to what I've just said.
Eh, I wouldn't put words and ideas into Protestants' mouths like you just did in the last paragraph. Doing that only makes me lose respect for the Catholic church (that I currently hold due to the intellectual writings of a certain Catholic sci-fi author named John C. Wright).
I don't doubt that there are infiltrators into Protestant churches too, but, simply put, larger organizations are easier to infiltrate (and have more value for doing so, mundanely speaking) and are far more well-known and useful as targets either before or after the fact.
I don't represent the Catholic Church, so whatever I say shouldn't have a real effect on whatever respect you have for it. I'm just repeating exactly what I've heard from other Protestants in regards to how they view the Eucharist and such. It's no disrespect to them, it's only what I've heard them say.
But if you put it like that, I'm only doing the same thing as you are. I'm ascribing what you say to the perspective of all Catholics, the same way as you are ascribing what you heard from a few Protestants to every Protestant church (which is hardly monolithic anyway, as I'm sure you already know).
That's why I'm saying it's not a good idea to paint in such broad strokes. I honestly see no reason for Catholic animosity against non-Catholic Christians, and vice versa. I may not agree with the practices of the Catholic Church's hierarchy and the historical incidents of persecuting its own (yes, even before the modern era), but I am not so blind as to be unable to see the good it has done, and the fact that doctrine-wise there's barely any substantial conflict. At the end of the day, Catholics and 'Protestants' worship the same God, and I wish more people would see it that way.
