Eugene Coyle, P.P., was really informative taken with other literature I have been reading on Freemasonry written in the late 19th and early 20th century. It is specific to many things in Ireland at the time of writing, and the last chapter has no use in our time, as everything it pertains to is dated. This can be expected for a book that is nearly 100 years old that was intended to excite action by the readers.
It is so interesting to read American and Mexican authors on the Freemasons and their actions in Mexico and now these writing by Irish priests concerning the Masonic actions in Ireland during the 19th and early 20th century. Calles and his Masonic regime, the Masonic Orangemen in Ireland, the murders and pogroms in Mexico and Ireland against Catholics... the Masonic atrocities throughout the French revolutions in the same times and a little earlier... and then the Masonic inspired communist revolution in Russia...
It is so sad to see how successful the Masonic forces now are in the world. They have sewn modernism, materialism, false philosophy, indifferentism and so many other errors throughout the world. We must fight.
After many more books and much more study I can say this: The Freemasons started creating groups throughout the world to discuss and spread communist and socialist ideas as early as the beginning of the 19th century. This would explain why so many of the communist/socialist goals, they now call themselves “progressives,” were in perfect unity with those of Masonry. The Communists and the National Socialists turned on the Freemasons, just as Napoleon tried, but it was for reasons of power and ego.
I theorize that the Masonic heads were not taken much aback by this turn of events, and I suspect that the Freemasons have done well in filling the power-gap that was left after the fall of Soviet Russia.
We know that Soros is certainly involved in the progressive movement, and funds much evil and violence. His Masonic connection is clear, his parents were certainly quite involved in Masonry. They were, in fact, some of the earliest proponents and spreaders of the “universal” language known as Esperanto. This was a language created by the Masons to be the universal language. A language they could use to control thought, as language does much to dictate thought.
The use and abuse of language has been utilized by Masons, then Communists and now progressives for generations.
Heck, Soros’ name, “soros” is “to soar” in Esperanto. He funds Esperanto projects and speaks it fluently.
So, that shows a very strong Masonic tie to the leadership of the New Progressives, post Soviet rule. Just some more thoughts. ...more
Recently, I got my hands on some very rare books published between 70-150 years ago concerning the Freemasons, including this fantastic book here, by Recently, I got my hands on some very rare books published between 70-150 years ago concerning the Freemasons, including this fantastic book here, by Reverend Cahill, SJ. Besides these specifically topical books from that era, over the last couple years I have read many rare and semi-rare Catholic publications from that time period concerning seemingly different subject matter of the contemporary world (late 19th early 20th century) and they always have tidbits of key occurrences that involve the Freemasons in the context of the disparate subjects of their respective books, often containing such information as names, addresses and so forth.
Also, in studying 15th and 16th century Spain and Hispanoamérica, and the creation of the Black Legend concerning Spain, the Inquisition, and the Conquest of the Americas, I have learned much concerning the Jewish roots in media and propaganda. Their desire to destroy the Catholic Church and their use of things that even held them in contempt.
Some anti-Christian Jews that were expelled from Spain mastered the art of propaganda almost as soon as the printing press was invented. In order to break Christianity asunder, they spread the pamphlets of Las Casas (the ambitious, lying, and wicked Dominican bishop) concerning the Conquest of the Americas all around Europe, they translated Martin Luther’s works into Spanish (and other languages, but the main target was Spain, the only real stronghold of Catholicism at the time), and disseminated them throughout Spain and the Catholic world. I am sure that their endeavors are a big reason Protestantism still exists. This is a deep root of modern Freemasonry.
Many Catholic magazines and periodicals of the 19th and early 20th century had investigative articles covering all these things. There were many books by priests, bishops, Catholic journalists, scholars that were Knights of Columbus and so forth.
Now, if one brings up a globalist conspiracy of the Freemasons in conjunction with their leadership groups inside these societies such as the Illuminati and the Carbonari, that person will be derided as a conspiracy theorist, an anti-Semite if you mention the heavy cabalistic Jewish leadership(which is ludicrous as it pertains only to the Masonic and anti-Catholic Jews, not a race or a religion), ad Infinitum.
These older books take the itch of doubt out of ones mind that contemporary authors such as Dr. Taylor marshall or John Salza would cause by thoughts that perhaps this is a hindsight extrapolation that fits a theory.
A lot of the info in these books from 100 years or so ago, I gad learned as a child from my mother, grandmother and then religion teacher at Padre Pio Academy. As I grew older, it baffled me that my family had so much knowledge of the inner workings of Freemasonry. I am no longer confounded by this as I’ve learned it used to be somewhat common knowledge for practicing, serious Catholics.
The second edition by Father Cahill is expounded with supplement appendices for several chapters which are strongly illuminating. The appendices also include a back and forth from a high ranking Mason concerning the controversy of the book at original publication. The newspaper battle with subsequent notes are fantastic. One who reads these can see clearly the propaganda genius of the Mason antagonist. Anyone who read his lengthy letters to the editor of the newspaper(s) in question would have easily been mislead, or at least begun to question the honesty and reliability of Father Cahill, as there are so many false assertions and “facts” presented by Dr. Claude, the Mason conducting the correspondence. An utterly fascinating study this has been for me. ...more

You see, ever since I married my beautiful wife, María Eugenia, I have been studying the history of Spain and Mexico. We have amassed an impressive collection of primary source material for the history of Mexico/New Spain over the last few years.
My issue is with the lies that abound even in traditional Catholic circles and books concerning the history of Catholic Spain. This false narrative has come to be called “La Leyenda Negra” or “The Black Legend.”
When you hear mention of the Spanish Inquisition and you squirm from thoughts of unjust torture and execution, the name “Hernán Cortés” crosses your ears and you imagine a genocidal slaughtering of Indians, it is because you have been infected with the vile lies of la Leyenda Negra!
The expulsion of the Jews from Spain was the most merciful thing Queen Isabel la Catolica could have done. Her people had been on edge, killing Jews in pogroms due to a number of social realities. There was no real way to control the situation, so she finally ordered their expulsion from Spain so that they would not succumb to brutal mob violence.
Hernán Cortés was loved by the Aztecs, and he fought for their rights as Spanish citizens. There are currently European monarchs that have the Moctezuma name in their full title. He made ready the hearts of the natives to experience the visiting of Our Lady of Guadalupe. He was a warrior and a diplomat. He was a passionate Catholic, with other wayward passions he should have controlled. He was a man that loved his fellow men, including the native Americans. Many of his conquistadors married native women.
This is not the official history, but it is the true history. Following is a little article I wrote covering some subjects that should help dispel la Leyenda Negra from your mind which is not necessarily contained in this book:
The first European monarch to fight against slavery with legal means was Queen Isabel la Católica (1451-1504) 520 years ago, June 20, 1500 A.D. (the namesake of our youngest daughter). The Laws of Burgos (1512-1513 A.D.) and later the Laws of the Indies (1542 A.D.), condemning slavery and passed by her husband, King Fernando el Católico (1452-1516), and her grandson Emperor Charles V (1500-1558), is her legacy. Charles V had Bishop Bartolome de las Casas (1484-1566) go to Rome and convince Pope Paul III to write the papal bull, Sublimus Dei, as the first Christian denunciation of slavery June 2, 1537 A.D.
The first philosophers really delving into human rights as we know them today, were those of the School of Salamanca in the 16th century during what is considered the Spanish Renaissance.
So, the idea that slavery was wrong was truly foreign to the world until around 500 years ago. It took 350 years for it to start sinking in to the mind of the West. The entire history of mankind, even until today, has had slavery. At present, there are slave auctions in northern Africa. Most of our clothes and electronics have been made by slaves.
We are in a position where these issues and ideas were hashed out by philosophers like Francisco de Vitoria (1483-1546) and monarchs like Isabel la Católica, and neatly handed down to us. We are blessed to have been given this.
Human rights as you and I know them are thanks to Queen Isabel. When the Church was debating if the Indians had souls, she rightly proclaimed they were humans fully and Spanish subjects to be treated with human dignity.
In a recent conversation someone was connecting Fray Junipero Serra (1713-1784) with encomienda and the monarchy of Isabel la Católica. Encomienda was akin to the peasant system. Encomienda was not slavery. In fact, many indigenous were land owners and still have the deeds to their lands signed by the king. And, over and above that, encomienda had been finished for about 200 years by the time Fray Junipero came on the scene.
The Laws of Burgos (1512 A.D.-1513 A.D.) are very clear on how encomienda was to work. It is nothing as ugly as many seem to think, except for it’s implementation in places like the Caribbean islands and under Nuño de Guzmán (1490-1558) in Pánuco and Nueva Galicia, both parts of modern Mexico. Encomienda was most abused in the Caribbean, by such people as the famed Bartolome de las Casas, the so called “Protector of the Indians” and his friends, which included such people as the aforementioned Nuño de Guzmán.
Due to the horrible reality of what the encomienda became in the Caribbean, Hernán Cortés (1485-1547) was adamant that it was not to be brought to New Spain aka Mexico. He was forced to allow it. It was outlawed not long after, in the year 1542.
Almost all of the surviving conquistadores of New Spain married indigenous girls. The Spaniards immediately intermarried with the indigenous. They had a love for the people of the lands the discovered. This is the reason you will not find Aztecs or Spaniards in Mexico, the two peoples completely interbred.
The conquistadores and those that arrived later that were doing evil, if found out were usually recalled to Spain and punished. This is the time that the real idea of human rights was born. Hispanoamerica was not a land of colonies, but an extension of Spain. It was not, like the English and French colonies, autonomous business ventures.
Hernán Cortés was a true protector of the Indians, and when the Caribbean villains had killed off 90% of the indigenous and tried kidnapping Indians from Mexico, Cortés was known to capture the ships and free the Indians who were Spanish subjects. This is recorded in the relaciones to Emperor Charles V.
Whenever people were accused of heinous crimes against the indigenous they were recalled to Spain for trial, and if found guilty harshly punished. When the enemies (Guzmán and company) of Cortés leveled charges at him, he was recalled to Spain, and found innocent. His accusers were cruel, bad men, and they were illegally slaving the indigenous and robbing Hernán Cortés blind.
Fray Juan de Zumarraga (1468-1548), the bishop of happy memory, had written a letter to Emperor Charles V on all the happenings of the time leading up to Cortés’ recall to Spain. At that time it was believed that Cortés was dead, as his enemies proclaimed him so in order to pilfer his property. Cortés was exploring Honduras at the time. Fray Zumarraga’s letter explains in a dispassionate way, rule under Cortés, as well as the evils that began to occur when Cortés left to explore Honduras.
After being found innocent of the superfluous charges, Cortés returned to New Spain as a still high ranking government official, but no longer had the power he once had. His accusers had been found out, and the chief among them, Nuño de Guzmán, spent his final years imprisoned. With a desire to explain the character of Cortés, I must mention that he financially supported Guzmán, and his family after he was imprisoned as an act of charity. He did this for the man that robbed and tried to ruin him, and had him sent to Spain as a criminal for trial.
Also of note, the Moctezuma line is part of European nobility to this day. There are many nobles throughout Europe with the Moctezuma royal heritage, including Juan José Marcilla de Teruel-Moctezuma y Jiménez, 5th Duke of Moctezuma de Tultengo, 15th Marquis of Tenebrón and Viscount of Ilucán, the noble house of Grau-Moctezuma de Toleriu, the Dukes of Ahumada, the Dukes of Abrantes, the Counts de la Enjarada, and the Counts of Miravalle.
Returning to the Apostle of California, Queen Isabel la Católica died in the year 1504 A.D., wheras Saint Junipero Serra (a true protector of the Indians, unlike the despicable Las Casas, who was a key player in the African slave trade) was born in 1713 A.D. So there was no direct connection between the two.
It was 15th and 16th century Spain to which we owe the accolades of human rights, not the so called Enlightenment.
Pope Francis, in his encyclical Amoris Laetitia (March 19, 2016) stated, “The lack of historic memory is a serious shortcoming in our society.” And I believe the current iconoclasm is a case of that. A lack of historic memory....more

This book is not appropriate for teens under 16 in my estimation. Also, I suggest following this book up immediately with Gift and Mystery by Pope St. John Paul II. That will combat the funk this book will put you in.
I disliked the “liberal v conservative” language in the book. There are orthodox “liberals” as well. The author is definitely a Repubicatholic. I understand the tendency, but it is unfortunate. ...more
