^ - • a n d put before the Jewish Nation, from which He had taken
. His Sacred Humanity, the divine programme for the ordered
organization of the world, asking them at the same time to be
its heralds. The crucifixion of Our Lord was the rejection
b y the Jewish Nation of God's programme for order. They
refused to accept that there was any life higher than their
national life and t h e y would not hear of the non-Jewish nations
coming in as members of the Messianic Kingdom, on the same
level as themselves. In spite of their persistent opposition,
however, and notwithstanding the weakness of fallen human
nature, Western Europe in the thirteenth century had come
to acknowledge God's Rights in the w a y H e had Himself laid
down and had organized society on the basis that man's supreme
dignity was his supernatural and supranational life as a member
of Christ. Since then until recently, there has been steady
decay. The so-called Reformation sectioned off the Christian
life from the life of the citizen so t h a t political and economical
organization left membership of Christ out of account. The
Lutheran separation of the Christian and the Citizen initiated
t h a t dualism b y which man's spiritual life in Christ was
sectioned off from his social life as a Citizen. It is true t h a t
the Protestant states, as organized bodies, still acknowledged
t h a t t h e y had a d u t y to God and, a t the beginning at least,
maintained the great truth of the Divinity of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, though rejecting the order established b y H i m for the
full recognition of God's Rights. D e c a y was inevitable, how
ever, w h e n once the guidance of the Vicar of Christ, the infallible
Guardian of the moral law, had been rejected.
The so-called Reformation did not attempt to set up a suprana
tional organization in the place of the Catholic Church. That
was reserved for the French Revolution, in which w a s witnessed
the first appearance in public of the new ideal of a purely

The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation

The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation
The deified German race has attacked the rival natural deity,
the Jewish race, directly, and has proceeded systematically
to get rid of it as corrupting the very fount of deity, German
blood. I t also systematically undermines and seeks to eliminate
the supernatural, supranational Catholic Church. Catholics
are still allowed to profess at Mass that t h e y will endeavour
to live their lives as members of Christ and t h a t t h e y will strive
to organize society so as to be aided in so doing. But, from
the moment Catholics in Germany and Austria leave the church
after Mass, t h e y find society organized on the principle t h a t
the highest form of life is German national life and t h a t German
blood is higher and nobler than Sanctifying Grace, the life-
blood of the Mystical Body. National-Socialism demands an
education which forms the young to regard membership of
the German race, not membership of Christ's Mystical Body,
as the highest good. The moral law, of which the sole divinely
appointed guardian is the Catholic Church, is replaced by the
exigencies of German blood as declared b y the leaders of the
people. Thus the whole social organization of German life
and the ideals animating it are completely anti-Catholic.
The radical opposition of German racial theories to Catholic
teaching is made clear in the instruction to combat them, issued
b y the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities

" Last year, on Christmas Eve, Our August Pontiff and gloriously
reigning Pope, in his allocution to the Cardinals and Prelates
of the Roman Curia, referred in grave and sorrowful terms
to the grievous persecution of the Catholic Church in Germany.
It was a cause of the greatest pain to the heart of the H o l y
Father that, in order to excuse such flagrant injustice, bare
faced calumnies were invented, and most pernicious doctrines,
falsely alleged to be scientific, were spread far and wide, w i t h
the intention of creating dire confusion in minds and uprooting
the true religion. I n view of this state of things, the Sacred
Congregation of Studies urges Catholic Universities and Faculties
to direct all their resources a n d efforts to the defence of truth
against the inroads of these errors. Accordingly, those who

from all that has been said about their rejection of the true
supernatural Messias that t h e y can no longer lay claim to i t
b y Divine Right. They were assigned t h a t part of the earth
as their inheritance on condition of their being obedient to God.
They disobeyed God's command to hear His Son, b y their
rejection of Our Divine Lord before Pilate and on Calvary,
and t h e y persist in their disobedience. Accordingly, there
can be no question of a right based on a divine promise. I n
addition, the Arabs have a natural right t o the country t h e y
have occupied for the last thirteen hundred years. Canon
Arendzen wrote as follows on this aspect of the question, in
the Catholic Gazette of August, 1936 : " The Arab population
which has occupied the country for the last 1,300 years has
definite and inalienable rights which must be respected. The
Jews are foreigners in Palestine and the intrusion of vast numbers
of foreigners so as to s w a m p the native population seems an
act of unprovoked injustice. It would obviously De unfair,
if some great power b y force made England a national home
for the Danes, on the strength of that people once having been
masters of this country a thousand years ago. The Jews have
practically evacuated Palestine since 138 A.D., and their intrusion
into it after having left it for eighteen hundred years seems un
justifiable, on a n y known principles of equity. The Mandatory
power, which at present is the government de facto, is clearly
acting against elementary laws of fairness i n promising to a
race, alien in religion, speech and blood, a country already
1
occupied b y another n a t i o n . "

W i t h regard to the 1915 agreement between the Sherif of Mecca,
Hassein, and Sir Henry MacMahon, acting for the British Govern
ment, conceding the Arab claim to Palestine, cf. Waters Flowing
Eastward, by L. Frv, pp. 68-69 and the literature there cited.
" In the 9 o'clock news (B.B.C.) on Sunday, Nov. 2nd, 1941, General
Smuts was quoted at some length as applauding the Balfour
offer of Palestine to the Jews as a permanent home. He seemed
to be as ignorant as IVIr. Balfour appeared, some twenty-five
years ago when the declaration was made, that we had previously
admitted and acknowledged the claims of the Arabs to the same
property" {The Weekly Review, November 6th, 1941).

The French Journal, La Croix, of September 17th, 1938, stated
that Pius XI, opening a Missal which had been offered him by
some Belgian pilgrims, read out in Latin the prayer " Supra
quae propitio, etc.," from the Canon of the Mass. In English
the prayer runs as follows: *' Vouchsafe to look upon them with
a countenance merciful and, kind, and to receive them as Thou
wast pleased to receive the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, and
the sacrifice of our father Abraham, and that which Melchisedech
Thy high priest offered up to Thee, a holy sacrifice and spotless
victim." The Pope then went on to s a y : "Anti-semitism is
incompatible with the sublime ideas and truths expressed in
this text. We Christians can take no part in such a move
ment . . . . no, it is impossible for Christians to take part in Anti-
semitism. We acknowledge that everyone has the right to
defend himself, in other words, to take the necessary precautions
for his protection against everything that threatens his legitimate
interests. But Anti-semitism is inadmissible. We are spiritually
Semites."

1933).

The Antiphon of the Magnificat of the first vespers of Quin-
quagesima Sunday expresses the same idea in succinct fashion.
It runs as follows: " Noble Abraham, the Father of our Faith,
offered a holocaust on the altar in the place of his son."
Cf. the text of Gal. I l l , 2 9 : "And if you be Christ's, then
are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise."
M. Drach quotes this text when, addressing his fellow-Israelites,
he says : " It is only through Jesus that you can be children
of Abraham " (L'Harmonie entre VEglise et la Synagogue, Vol. I,
p. 25).

t o the Talmud. In his splendid work, already referred t o ,
t h e ex-Rabbin Drach, highly honoured and decorated for his
learned works b y Popes Leo X I I , Pius V I I I and Gregory X V I ,
writes as follows : " For a long time it was m y professional
d u t y to teach the Talmud and explain its doctrines, after having
attended special courses for m a n y years, uuder the most renowned
of contemporary Jewish doctors. N o w t h a t b y the grace of
God I have been led to abjure its false dogmas, I can speak
of i t w i t h full knowledge of i t s contents, as a result of m y s t o r i e s ,
but I will endeavour to do so w i t h complete impartiality. On
t h e one hand, I have devoted the best years of m y life to the
s t u d y of it, on the other hand, it means nothing to me now.
I shall therefore set forth both what is good in i t and w h a t is
defective.
" Talmud (more correctly Thalmud) is a Hebrew
word used b y the Rabbins t o signify ' doctrine ' or ' teaching.'
It designates more particularly the great b o d y of doctrine of
the Jews, t o which the greatest doctors in Israel h a v e success
i v e l y contributed a t different epochs. It is t h e complete civil
and religious code of the synagogue The judicious
reader of the Talmud is often saddened b y the presence of m a n y
of those strange aberrations into which the h u m a n mind falls
when bereft of the true faith, and very frequently the baseness
of rabbinical cynicism makes him blush for shame. The
Christian also is horrified b y the insane and atrocious calumnies
which the impious hatred of the Pharisees hurls a t everything
he holds sacred. Nevertheless, the Christian theologian dis
covers useful data and precious traditions for t h e explanation
of m a n y difficult t e x t s of the N e w Testament as well as for
the purpose of convincing our religious opponents of the antiquity
n o less t h a n of the holiness of Catholic teaching
" The Talmud is divided into the Mischna, commonly called
Misna, which forms the text, and the Ghemara, which i s the
commentary and the development of the t e x t . The Ghemara
i s twofold, comprising both the Commentary of Jerusalem
and the Commentary of Babylon In the Ghemara,

Talmud of B a b y l o n . " May hell swallow t h e m in its depths ! "
2
says Rabbi Abarbanel. " May their hearts break and their
calculations vanish ! " says Rabbi Maimonides. And so on . . .
The secret measures were the changes m a d e in the Messianic
prophecies in the Bible. This was done in t w o ways. The
r
first was t o alter the w ording of certain prophecies. As the
Hebrew tongue and its written characters are very delicate
and as the language of the Bible had become the exclusive
apanage of the Rabbins, t h e y were able to alter certain t e x t s
3
without awakening the suspicions of the p e o p l e . The Fathers
of the Church reproach the Rabbins w i t h this as do also several
4
ex-Rabbins who became Catholics. Then, to make matters
worse for one seeking the truth, these alterations were secretly
introduced into the work of the Massoretes of Tiberias, which
appeared only after the alterations had been made. The second
secret and underhand measure employed b y the Rabbins was
surer and more skilful. It was not possible to alter all the
prophecies w i t h o u t running the risk of arousing suspicion, so
i t was decided to make them refer either to D a v i d or to Solomon,
or to some other historical personage, and whenever possible,
to the Jewish N a t i o n itself. " Our Doctors understand this
psalm of the Messiah," writes Rabbi Jerchi ; " b u t on account of
the Christians who profit b y this in sinister fashion, it is exped
5
ient to refer i t t o D a v i d . The t w o m o s t embarrassing of the
8
prophecies, namely, Psalm 2 2 , and Isaias, Chapter LI II, in
which there is question of the sufferings of the Messiah, are made
to refer to the Jewish people.

In their very touching book, La Cause des Restes d'IsraSI introduite
au Concile du Vatican (p. 116), the Fathers Lemann mention
some of the replies given to them by Bishops whom they requested
.to sign the Postulatum pro Hebraeis : " W h a t the Jews are doing
at the moment in Austria is not calculated to inspire us with
sentiments of mercy," was the first remark of more t h a n one
German-speaking Bishop. And there is no denying t h a t the
Jews are going very far in the Austrian Empire. Working with
the Freemasons and extremely powerful, they make use of m o n e y
and the Press to overthrow all Catholic institutions in those
countries and to undermine the faith of the peoples
One day in a reunion of Bishops, a Hungarian prelate speaking
of the Jews said t h a t they were very bad (pessimi). We lowered
our h e a d s ; for the Bishop was right."

Marx has sometimes been accused of being anti-Jewish because
of an article he wrote about a book by Bruno Bauer. The question
is treated at length in the best work on the secret history of
Bolshevism, namely, Les Origines Secrites du Bolshevisms (pp.
279-286) by Salluste. Salluste shows that Marx, who, as a
Hegelian pantheist, despised all religion and who, by tempera
ment, could not brook opposition of any kind, attacks the rich
Jews, the builders of fortunes. He accuses them of being traitors
to the common cause by not accepting his way of destroying
Christian society and thus leading the Jewish nation to real
freedom. " If they want to be free," writes Marx, '* the Jews
must not embrace pure Christianity, but must become converts
to a dissolved Christianity, to religion in dissolution, that is,
to Philosophy, to Criticism and to its result, namely, free
Humanity." B y Criticism (or Logic) Marx means his own
Dialectical Materialism.

Christ. Christ, says the Apostle, is born of the line of D a v i d
according t o the flesh."
To this luminous interpretation of t h e prophecy of Osee
concerning t h e conversion of Israel, Father Lemann adds the
testimony of Pope Pius I X contained in a letter addressed to
his brother and himself, on the 14th of February, 1877.
" Because," wrote the holy Pontiff, " according to the prophecy
of Osee, the sons of Israel have remained for a long time without
king and without prince, without sacrifice and without altar, m a y
that other word of the same prophet soon begin to be accom
plished : And after this the children of Israel shall return and
shall seek the Lord their God and David their king ! "
Before passing on to the t e x t of St. Paul to the Romans,
X I , n - 3 3 , Father Lemann mentions some other passages of
the Old Testament winch express the same idea of future con
version, namely, the Prophecy of Moses (Deuteronomy, IV,
30, 31), the Prophecy of Isaias (LIX), the Prophecy of Jeremias
( X X X I , 1, 2), the prophecy of Daniel, (XII, 1.), the Prophecy
of Micheas (II, 12, 13), and the Prophecy of Malachias (IV,
5, 6).
In the N e w Testament St. Paul is the great herald of the
final conversion of his o w n nation to the True Messias. The
prophecy is contained in the Epistle to the Romans, Chapter
X I , and the pertinent verses run as follows : " I say then . . . .
1
Osee, III, 4. The last two short phrases are translated in the French
version as follows : " without priesthood, and without worship
(cult)."
2
Osee, III, 5. The last phrase is translated in the French as follows :
" and they shall be in astonishment on finding God again and
at His goodness to them in the last days."

1 Rom., XI, 1, 2, 11, 12, 15, 25, 26, 27, 28, 20, 30, 31, 32. Mgr. Knox's
version has : " Tell me then, has God disowned His people ?
That is not to be thought of. Why I am an Israelite myself,
descended from Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. No God
has not disowned the people which, from the first, he recognised
as his Tell me then, have they stumbled so as to fall al
together ? God forbid; the result of their false step has been
to bring the gentiles salvation, and the result of that must be
to arouse the Jews to emulate them. Why then, if their false
step has enriched the world, if the gentiles have been enriched
by their default, what must we expect, when it is made good ?
. . . . If the losing of them has meant a world reconciled to
God, what can the winning of them mean, but life risen from

take place only in the last age of the Church, towards the end

of time."
A. Scripture.
From the Old Testament, Father Lemann cites first the text
of the prophet Osee to which I have already referred, and which
contains the words " they shall fear the Lord and his goodness
2
in the last days." He quotes also the words of Moses :
" After all the things aforesaid shall find thee, in the latter time
3
thou shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hear his voice,"
and refers briefly to the prophecy of Azarias in I I . Paralipom-
e
enon, (XV, 3-6), and Isaias, (X, 20-23). ^ dwells at greater
length, however, on the last two verses of the prophet Malachias :
" Behold I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of
the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall turn the
heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children
4
to their fathers: lest I come and sfrike the earth with anathema."
" T h e prophet Elias, then," comments Father Lemann, "shall
return upon the earth to bring back the Jews to the Saviour.
Our Lord Himself has clearly affirmed it (St. Matthew, X V I I ,
II). Elias will turn the hearts of the fathers and the hearts
of the children. The fathers are the patriarchs and all the pious
ancestors of the Jewish people, the sons represent the degenerate
race of the time of Our Lord Jesus Christ and of the succeeding
centuries. It is, however, only some time before the second
coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, before the dreadful day of
the Divine Judgment dawns, that our Saviour will send the
prophet Elias to the Jews to convert them and to save them
from chastisement.
" These precise statements of the Old Testament find an echo
in the New Testament. St. Paul, who has devoted a whole
chapter of the Epistle to the Romans to the conversion of the

further on he continues : " For I would not have you ignorant,
brethren, of this mystery (lest you should be wise in your own
conceits) For as you also in times past did not believe
* God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief ;
so these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they
also may obtain mercy." The Fathers Lemann quote with
approval the statement of a learned commentator to the effect
that it would have been quite natural for St. Paul to have
((
added, after the last words cited,: When you shall have fallen
1
into incredulity." The tenderness of St. Paul for the Gentiles,
however, prevented him from adding that phrase, but several
Fathers of the Church have expressed the thought in their
commentaries.
" Israel's failure to correspond," says Origen, " has been
the occasion of the calling of the Gentiles. We have taken
their place and thus have become the true Kingdom of Juda.
But our last times will resemble those of the Jews because of
2
our sins, in fact they will be worse," . " From the sin of the
the Jews," writes St. Jerome, " has come the salvation of
Nations, and from the incredulity of the Nations the knowledge
of the Truth will again come to Israel. These two truths are
3
in St. Paul." "St. Paul," writes in his turn St. John Chrysostom,
" explains divinely the conduct of God with regard to men . . . .
He says that the Gentiles have been called by God, but because,
little by little, they will show themselves unmindful of His
4
favours, God will recall the Jews a second t i m e . " The Fathers
Lemann cite also the Commentary of St. Augustine on Psalm
V I I , and finally, the words of the great French orator, Bossuet;
" Have we not reason to tremble on seeing how severely God
has punished the Jews for so many centuries, since St. Paul

God's aim, however, is not punishment but mercy, and when
h e will h a v e called back the Jews, H e will also recall the non-
Jewish nations, utilizing the missionary zeal of the repentant
2
Jews for t h a t purpose. " For God h a t h concluded all in un
belief, t h a t h e m a y h a v e mercy o n all. O the d e p t h of the

t h a t t h e apostasy of the nations from Christ the King has been
very largely their work and t h a t of their satellites, the Free
masons, the Jews will be heartbroken, and will put their splendid
natural qualities a t the service of Divine Love, in order to undo
the evil of the past and t o draw the whole world into the unity
of the Mystical B o d y of Christ. " There are t w o outstanding
qualities in our national character,," write t h e Fathers Lemann,
" v i v a c i t y of sentiment and tenacity of will. Liveliness of
sentiment we certainly have, for our nation never hates or loves
anything in weak or feeble fashion ; in love as in hatred i t goes
t o extremes. And tenacity of will we h a v e a l s o ; for forty
centuries we are awaiting H i m w h o m we are meant to love.

hidden in the silence of a confessional, but will show itself in

The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation
the light of day before all the peoples of the earth, like our denial
at noon on Good Friday. The prophet Zacharias saw this
outburst of grief : ' And I will pour out upon the house of David,
and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
of prayer ; and they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced ;
and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for an only son,
and they shall grieve over him, as the manner is to grieve for the
death of the first-born.' " i
In order that the repentant Jewish nation may work for
the conversion of the peoples of the Orient and the return of
the apostate nations of the West to Christ the King, there must
be a certain interval between the conversion of the Jewish
nation and the end of the world. Some interpret the words of
St. Paul : " what shall the receiving of them be but life from
the dead ? " in the sense that the General Resurrection and the
Last Judgment will follow the conversion of the Jews
2
immediately. " As the reprobation of the J e w s , " writes Pere
Lagrange, O.P., " was the occasion of the reconciliation of the
world, their conversion will be as it were, the signal for the
consummation of the world and the advent of a new one. It
must, however, be admitted that the expressions employed
are not very precise and that one could not establish a definite
relation of time between the Conversion of the Jews and the
General Resurrection from the dead, in other words, affirm
that the Last Judgment will follow closely on the conversion
3
of the J e w s . "

• Father Libermann is the first member of the Jewish nation, whose
cause has been introduced, since the inauguration of the present
procedure of beatification and canonization.
114
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation
can see this in his whole life. It is worthy of note that one who
had himself suffered terribly because of that pride and obduracy,
the distinguished ex-Rabbin Drach, took an active part in the
instruction of young Jacob Libermann.
What Father Libermann's whole-hearted acceptance of
membership of the Mystical Body was instrumental in achiev
ing for Christ the King is admirably outlined by Pope Pius
X I I , in his Letter to Very Rev. Francis Griffin, C.S.Sp., Superior
General, on the occasion of the Centenary of the Venerable
Father's death : " On the second of February next," writes
His Holiness, " the sons of the Venerable Francis Mary Paul
Libermann will have the joy of celebrating with fitting splendour
the Centenary of the death of this humble priest of France,
restorer of the ancient Congregation of the Holy Ghost and
inspirer of a new legion of Apostles, who, now for a century,
have been writing a glorious page in the missionary history of
the Church You have good reason to contemplate
the past with gratitude. You see, first of all, the ardent figure
of Father Libermann, this convert enlightened by grace, like
Saul on the way to Damascus this apostle whom an
admirable zeal for the people of the black race, then so spir
itually abandoned, was soon to draw to the City of Peter. There
he was to receive, as a reward for his unfailing confidence, the
decisive lights which were to illuminate the last eleven years
of his life when, a priest at last, he gathered his first missionaries
around him and sent them forth, amid continual trials, to
fecundate with their preaching and their sufferings that soil
of Africa which was so dear to him, but which he was never
to see.
" T h e seed was cast into the earth; this good worker had
finished his task : ' It is one man that soweth, and it is another
that reapeth ' (John iv, 37). In 1852 there were already eighty-
eight religious to lament the premature death of their Father.
But in the course of one century, the shoot, then so young and
tender, has -grown and waxed strong ; and to-day it is not with
out emotion that the some 4,500 members of your Congregation,
scattered over three continents, will return thanks to God for
the spiritual fruitfulness of this apostle's life In par-

" T h e World Almanac, 1947, quoted the American Jewish Com
mittee as estimating the world's Jewish population in 1939 as
about 15J million . . . In 1948, the New York Times (Jew-owned)
said that the world Jew population was between 15,700,000 and
18,600,000. So here is the simple subtraction sum :—

I t is interesting to note t h a t during the trial a t Sarajevo, after
the murder of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, it was
revealed t h a t he had been condemned to death by Freemasonry
two years before. The Revue Internationale des Societes Secretes
of Sept. 15th, 1912, published the statement of an important
Swiss Freemason to the effect t h a t " t h e Archduke will die
on the steps of the throne." The actual assassin of the Arch
duke, Gabriel Princip, was a Jew. "When asked a t the trial
if he were a Freemason, he hesitated and protested, and then
denied. Cf. Weltfreimaurerei, Weltrevolution, Weltrepublik, by

The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation
jest came on December 19th, 1948, while the Arabs were being
driven destitute from their native land. The Times then re
ported t h a t : ' The United Nations General Assembly tonight
unanimously decided upon a draft convention o n genocide,
which is now declared a crime in International law. Genocide
is defined as acts intended to destroy in whole or in part national,
ethnical, racial or religious g r o u p s ; and rulers, officials or in
dividuals are made punishable b y state or international penal
tribunals not o n l y for the crime b u t for the conspiracy, incite
m e n t or a t t e m p t to commit i t . . . Hypocrisy o n this scale
assumes a grandeur of its own, beyond criticism. The Assembly
which drafted the convention was the same which a t the same
m o m e n t genocided a completely inoffensive (though weak)
national, ethnical, racial and religious group. E v e r y member
of the unanimous Assembly was indictable under every count

H i s Holiness, Pope Pius X I I , m a d e a m o v i n g appeal for the
return of these poor refugees in his Encyclical Letter of Good
Friday, 15th April, 1949, On the Holy Places in Palestine :
" Although fighting has ceased, none the less we are still far
from the restoration of calm and order in Palestine. Complaints
are still reaching U s from those who rightly and justly grieve
over the desecration of churches and images, and homes of
beneficence and charity, or t h e destruction of t h e houses of
cloistered communities. Very m a n y fugitives of all ages and
every state of life, driven abroad b y the disastrous war, cry
pitifully t o U s . T h e y live in exile, under guard and exposed
t o infection and all manner of dangers W e m o s t earnestly
implore those t o w h o m it belongs t o do justice t o all w h o have
been driven far a w a y from their homes b y the tempest of war

and w h o long above all t o live in quiet once m o r e . "

" F r o m the first moment I entered the (Zionist) movement, my
eyes were directed towards England, because I saw by reason
of the general conditions there, the Archimedean point where
the lever could be applied" (Theodor Herzl, Founder of the
official Zionist movement). Quoted by B. Jensen in The " Pal
estine " Plot.

" In 1917," writes Douglas Reed, " t h e Zionists in London and
New York were rejoicing in the defeat of allied Russia; in 1938
they were organizing a boycott of Germany in London ; in 1948
they were organizing a boycott of Great Britain in New York
The intimidation of death (of officials), in Palestine, was
coupled with the intimidation of political pressure in London.
No British Government, in thirty years, dared take up the
challenge." (Somewhere South of Suez, p. 324).

" I have often been told by Freemasons that British Masonry played
no part in politics at all, and made a point of disassociating itself
from the continental organizations, which are openly political.
This statement is quite untrue and only goes to show the ignorance
that prevails in the lower ranks of Masonry . . . There is one
subtle difference between the two partners in the firm of Judmas
(Judaeo-Masonry). The members of the Junior branch—Liberals
Progressives, Planners, or whatever they call themselves, think
that they are making use of International Jewry to further their
aims for an earthly Elysium. On the other hand, the Jews know
that they are making use of the Planners to help them in estab
lishing their dream of world domination" (From Admiral to
Cabin Boy, by Admiral Sir Barry Domvile, pp. 90, 91).

The Williams Intelligence Summary (July, 1952), paints a
sad picture of the external situation of the United States and of
the countries of Europe and America. " Christianity and the
white race," writes Mr. Williams, . . . . are t h e central object of
hatred and destruction of all the Marxist allies : the Communists,
the Zionists, t h e Socialists, the false Liberals, the N e w Dealers,
t h e Internationalists. These people are inciting all the coloured-
races in Asia, Africa and our OWTI country against us
R e c e n t issues of the Roumanian Bulletin, published largely b y
escapees in N e w York City, report t h a t three t o five million
Hungarians and Roumanians, the property-owning class, are
in process of deportation t o slave labour camps in Russia ; while
an equal number of Chinese are being m o v e d into the homes
thus vacated. In m a n y cases the Chinese h a v e forcibly detained
the wives of the deported white men. This is the picture of
the white race melting a w a y under the bludgeoning and race-
mixing strategy of the Marxists . . . . B u t note the direction
i n which the Communist and Zionist forces are moving the
world : t h e y are making the white race destroy itself, making
all the non-Jewish peoples blend into a formless, confused and
leaderless mass—while the masters of the ' n e w world order '
weld their o w n people into a fighting hard core . . . . I n two
world wars the white race was made t o bleed itself anaemic,

In his book, This Terrorism and You, and i n his paper Pravda,
(English Edition), Mr. Vladimir Lezak-Borin maintains t h a t
Lenin seized control of the Russian revolutionary m o v e m e n t
and used the Jews for his purposes in 1917-1921, as Stalin, w h o
succeeded him, deceived t h e m and used t h e m on a much larger
scale in 1939-1947. H e holds t h a t there is a gigantic struggle
going on in the world, between Jewish nationalistic bourgeoisie
(Political Zionists) and Russian Bolsheviks, for world domination,
and t h a t Russian Bolsheviks were and are m u c h cleverer t h a n
t h e Jews, s o t h a t instead of Russian B o l s h e v i s m being a n i n
strument employed b y the Jews, as the Jewish banker boasted
a t Buda-Pesth, the Jews are simply tools i n t h e hands of the
Bolsheviks. Such he insists, is t h e whole truth about Zionist-
Bolshevik unity. In his opinion, because t h e Jews who are

completely t h e r e t o . For Marxists, then, private property
in the means of production is always exploitation. H u m a n
labour, being the labour n o t of a person, differing specifically
from the animals, but of a mere individual, belonging completely
t o the society, creates value for the society. Private ownership
thus means the confiscation of the labour of others t o one's o w n
advantage.
" There cannot of course, be a n y question of a native land
(patria) in the Catholic sense. Material man works and modifies
b y his labour the particular portion of matter assigned to him
b y the State-God, but all our language about continuing
the tradition of our ancestors is simply meaningless, bourgeois
cant. Man is purely material and in due time, given the correct
Marxian education, he will be exclusively concerned w i t h matter
and i t s modifications as he should be. According t o The Com
munist Manifesto of Marx ' the supremacy of t h e proletariat will
efface all national distinctions/ Communists, therefore, will
take part in a national struggle only as a matter of tactics.
Logically, nationality can be for them only a pretence, for nation
ality supposes the possession of an immaterial soul. If the
Communist State grants entire lingual a u t o n o m y i t emphatically
does n o t recognize cultural autonomy and liberty. The national
cultures are allowed to remain national in form, b u t t h e y must
be proletarian (that is, materialistic), in content. Little b y

The inevitable consequence of materialism is brutality and savagery
in social relations. " Even the sphere of economics needs some
morality, some sense of moral responsibility, which can find no
place in a system so thoroughly materialistic as Communism.
Terrorism is the only possible substitute, and it is terrorism
that reigns in Russia to-day " (Pope Pius X I On Atheistic Com
munism).
This is the truth contained in the satirical work, Animal Farm,
by George Orwell (Penguin Books). George Orwell, whose real
name was Eric Hugh Blair, fought for the Reds in Spain and
hated the Catholic Church, yet it is only the doctrine of member
ship of Christ, taught by the Catholic Church, that can prevent
the diffusion of that savagery which compelled him to flee from
Spain to escape being " purged " by his " comrades," the Com
munist Commissars. CI. Orwell's book, Homage to Catalonia.

The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation
may herald the evils announced for the end of time and, as it
were, be the beginning of those calamities, and that the son of
1
perdition of whom the Apostle speaks may have already made
his appearance here below. So great are the fury and hatred
with which religion is everywhere assailed, that it seems to be
a determined effort to destroy every vestige of the relation be
tween God and man. On the other hand,—and this is, according
to the same Apostle, the special characteristic of Antichrist—•
with frightful presumption man is attempting to usurp the place
of his Creator and is lifting himself above all that is called God.
Thus, powerless to extinguish completely in himself the notion
of God, he is attempting to shake off the yoke of His Majesty
and is dedicating the visible world to himself as a temple, in
which he has the pretension to receive the adoration of his
fellow-men. ' So that he sitteth in the temple of God showing
a
himself as if he were God.' (II Thess., II, 4 ) . "
Both Pontiffs, namely, Leo X I I I , and Blessed Pius X, with
apostolic clear-sightedness and firmness, insist upon the steady
advance of apostasy. And the apostasy they speak of is that
prophesied by St. Paul. " For neither in the language of the
Apostle nor in that of the Sovereign Pontiffs," writes Fr. Augus
tine Lemann, " is it a question of an apostasy, that is, of a partial
and limited falling-away, but of the apostasy, according to the
forceful Greek expression with the definite article, that is to say,
of the falling-away of the nations and of a great number of
Catholics from Jesus Christ and the Church . . . .
" Do the words of Pope Pius X mean that Antichrist has
already made his appearance in the world ? That cannot be
affirmed with any degree of certitude. These words must in all
probability be interpreted in accordance with the following
texts of St. John : ' As you have heard that Antichrist cometh,
3
even now there are become many Antichrists.' ' And every

" I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung
out of the midst of them " (Dan., VII, 8).
" The horn is called small, because it will grow little by little,
and because it will arrive at domination, not by hereditary right,
but by fraud " (Cornelius a Lapide, in Ep. ad Thess , II, II).

Father Lemann quotes from the writings of the above-mentioned
Fathers and others. The text of St. Jerome will suffice for a l l :
" The Lord speaking of Antichrist says to the J e w s : ' I am come
in the name of my Father and you receive me n o t ; if another
shall come in his own name, him you will receive ' . . . . The
Jews, after having* despised the truth in the Person of Jesus
Christ, will welcome falsehood by acclaiming A n t i c h r i s t " (Epist.
151, ad Algariam, quaest. II).

In a note on page 47 of V Antichrist, Father Lemann enumerates
25 false Messiahs, who received a partial welcome from the members
of the Jewish nation. In their joint work, La Question du Messie
(pp. 22-24), the two Fathers Lemann enumerate with a greater
wealth of detail the twenty-five false Messiahs, and conclude
with the words : " Not merely once, not merely ten times, but
twenty-five times, our ancestors were led astray by this mirage.
Because they failed to recognise the true Messiah, they were
drawn to seek Him where He was not."

The Persecution of Antichrist will last three years and a
half.
'' And- t h e y [the Saints] shall be delivered into his hand until
a time, and times, and half a t i m e " (Dan., VII, 25). " A n d
power was given him to do two and forty months " (Apoc,
X I I I , 5).
" It has been pointed out previously (Eleventh Point t h a t is
certain), t h a t the power and the persecution of Antichrist will
be only temporary. That is certain. Is it possible to deter
mine their exact duration ? One can give only a probable, not

a certain, answer, according to the two t e x t s q u o t e d . "

V'Antichrist, p . 48. " T h e supreme power and reign of Antichrist
will last three years and a half. I speak of his supreme power
and rule . . . . How long he will take to prepare and establish
his rule is not clear to me . . . . I t does n o t seem very likely
t h a t he will accomplish all these things in the short space of three
years and a half. T h a t alone is certain t h a t a t the most he
will remain on his throne three years and a half " (Suarez, De
