FOREWORD
CONTENTS OF THIS WORK MAY PROVE CONTROVERSIAL.
THEControversy implies disagreement. This is often
nurtured by doubts about the veracity of the source of
information.
No documentation has been in
intentionally incorporated
thesepageswithoutits source being given. Most ofitis drawn,
on matters specifically connected with Catholicism, from
Catholic Canon Laws, Papal encyclicals, and Vatican decrees;
onspecifically American problems, from documents of theU.S.
Administration, which can be found among official American
papers (e.g. in the Libraries of Congress, Washington). The
principal sources for current affairs have been documents
issued by various governments, or by international organiza-
tions such as U.N.O., as well as what are generally admitted
to be most soberly authoritative organs for example, the
Qsservatore Romano, the London Times, the New Yor^
Times, and a few others, religious or political mouthpieces of
either national hierarchies, political parties, or various other
official or semi-official bodies.
The vastness of the survey has inevitably focused a great
deal of this work upon the global activities of the Vatican and
of the U.S.A. on the one side, and of Soviet Russia and World
Communism on the other. As it is meant to examine the
world activities of the Catholic Church and of the U.S.A., and
not those of their opponents, to have enlarged also upon those
of the latter would have required another volume. Whenever
the U.S.A. or Soviet Russia are mentioned, they arementioned
only in so far as their or Vatican policies have affected the
whose
contemporary global scene, implications consequently
cannot be
ignored.
Abundant notes and references are made throughout
each and can be found at the end of the book.

PREFACE
AMID A BILLION-STARRED UNIVERSE, WANDERING
in cosmic insignificance, there glides the Earth the cradle
SPAaRnKdLtIheNGtomb of Man.
Species blossomed upon her and vanished; generations came
and went; religions preached and conquered; empires rose and
fell. But Freedom, sought for millennia, is still a dream to
this day.
Tyrannies, rooted in the past, are lording over a present
shaken by the thunderous march of giants racing for the
mastery of the world, where ideologies, championed by nations
burning with hatred, have palisaded the continents for global
atomic massacres; and Churches, hailing falling culture, are
spurringthe combatants to mutual annihilation.
One of these, the Catholic Church, consumed by Cimmerian
dreams of formidable expansion, is biding her time to enforce
her dominion upon the human race. Not only as a spiritual,
but also as a political power, buttressed by the unshakable
conviction that it is her destiny to conquer the planet.
In a century rocked by the ruthless administration of
dictatorships of immense magnitude, riding delirious military
monsters, such acredence maybe laughedto scorn.
Yet a credence, if firmly believed, can become as real as
reality. When magnified by multitudes, it is rendered irre-
sistible. Beliefs have conquered conquerors, routed legions,
made armies invincible, sired civilizations, dethroned nations.
They have been, and are still, the curse or the blessing, the
brake or the spur, to progress. In the past Buddhism con-
quered Asia; Islam the East; Christianity the West. Today,
astounding new credos have already obscured the sun.
150,000,000 Americans, 200,000,000 Russians, have become
their paladins; colossal armaments their swords. The Catholic
is supported by 400,000,000 beings; a monolithic unit, exceed-
ing the U.S.A. and the SovietUnion in numbers, unity* leader-
and faith.

PREFACE
Americans, Russians, and Catholics are all mobilized for
war. Freedom is their clarion call. And yet, just because of
it, freedom has never been so threatened as it is today. In its
name they are enslaving the world. Whoever hesitates to
submit to their kind of freedom is branded a foe of freedom.
And hence to be destroyed; freedom having become the
alternative to either global slavery or atomic incineration.
To the Catholic Church freedom has always meant Catholic
freedom: namely, total Catholic dominion over the world.
Catholic dominion, spelling total implementation of the most
fundamental tenet of Catholicism, means only one thing: total
extinction ofwhateveris non-Catholic.
The attempt of the Catholic Church to erase freedom
wherever she is paramount is almost two thousand years old.
machinations have characterized her conduct
Unprecedented
in the last few decades. Yesterday Fascism, one of her pet
creatures, hurled mankind into World War II. Today its
successors are hurling mankind into World War III. Like
them, the Catholic Church has set up her standard, to enforce
upon the twentieth century her own brand of freedom.
To that end, she has promoted immense hate crusades,
inspired great ideological movements, supporting and oppos-
ing sundry contestants for world dominion so as ultimately to
further her own, in thewake ofmilitary devastations.
The physical symbol of one of the most malevolent
forces of modern times, however, will no longer enjoy
unmeritedimmunity.
In World War III the Vatican will be incinerated, on a par
with the cities of Europe, Russia, and America. Its ruins,
then, more than famed ruins, will symbolizemankind's deter-
minationto make shortwork ofall totalitarianisms. Prominent
among these: certain most iniquitous ecclesiastical tyrannies
which, in the name of religion, contributed so much to the
destruction of contemporary Man. And, verily, the punish-
ment meted to the Catholic Church will be singularly heavy,
not only in Rome, butthroughout the charred wasteland of an
atomized world.
Ignorance of the true nature of such a treacherous enemy of
man, consequently, is no longer permissible. The scope of
this work is to throw light upon the leading role she is playing
PREFACE XI
in the global conspiracy now in progress, directed at strangling
world
liberty.
The sands of time have already run perilously low; for truly
the portents in the skies speak of calamities beyond counting.
The lesson to be learnt, therefore, had better be learnt in dead
earnest, lest the light of freedom be totally extinguished, and
mankind be made to plunge once more into die darkness and
the terror of the past instead of into the peace and the glory
of the future.
