This is the peculiar paradox of modern totalitarianism. This is the key to the mental enslavement of mankind: that the individual is made into nothing, that he operates as the physical part of what is considered a higher group intelligence and acts at the will of that higher intelligence, that he has no awareness of the plans the higher intelligence has for utilizing him.

“Le totalitarisme moderne est au totalitarisme catholique du XIIe siècle ce qu'est l'esprit laïque et franc-maçon à l'humanisme de la renaissance. L'humanité se dégrade à chaque oscillation. Jusqu'où cela ira-t-il?”
La Pesanteur et la Grâce, 1947

Only one power has not allowed itself to be deceived, the Catholic Church. She is the inexorable enemy of all Masonry. It is certainly known to you that any Catholic is automatically excommunicated the moment he becomes a Mason. The Church knows very well why she is so inexorable. She herself works on Masonic principles; her religious Orders, in particular the Jesuits, are nothing more nor less than powerful lodges of the Catholic Church. She knows what she has herself achieved with this system and will suffer no opposition lodge, using every means to prevent her sheep from straying into it. One cannot be misled by the explanation that the Church is against the Masons because they pay hommage to liberal ideas. By now, these ideas have made such progress even inside the Catholic Church that warnings and prohibitions ont that account are out of place. The inexorable stand of the Catholic Church against Masonry is the best proof of how accurately we have summed it up. Only the foolish Evangelical parsons have still not realized what is at stake. They join the Masons without realizing that they are digging their own graves.

The role of freemasonry is to create a revolutionary state of mind rather than to act directly.
