Dedication
To the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God; to St.
Joseph, Protector of the Universal Church; to St. Michael the
Archangel, Prince of the Supernatural Host in the struggle against
Satan, the first Naturalist; to St. Thomas Aquinas, the Catholic
Church’s Teacher of Order; and to St. Anthony of Padua, “Hammer of
the Heretics.”

“In our time more than ever before, the chief strength of the wicked
lies in the cowardice and weakness of good men... All the strength of
Satan’s reign is due to the easy-going weakness of Catholics. Oh! if I
might ask the Divine Redeemer, as the prophet Zachary did in spirit:
What are those wounds in the midst of Thy hands? The answer would
1
not be doubtful: With these was I wounded in the house of them that
loved Me. I was wounded by My friends, who did nothing to defend
Me, and who, on every occasion, made themselves the accomplices of
My adversaries. And this reproach can be levelled at the weak and
timid Catholics of all countries.” Pope St. Pius X, Discourse he
pronounced on December 13, 1908 at the Beatification of Joan of Arc.
* * * * * *
O most powerful Patriarch, Saint Joseph, Patron of that Universal
Church which has always invoked thee in anxieties and tribulations;
from the lofty seat of thy glory lovingly regard the Catholic world. Let
it move thy paternal heart to see the Mystical Spouse of Christ and His
Vicar weakened by sorrow and persecution by powerful enemies. We
beseech thee, by the most bitter suffering thou didst experience on
earth, to wipe away in mercy the tears of the revered Pontiff, to defend
and liberate him, and to intercede with the Giver of peace and charity,
that every hostile power being overcome and every error being
destroyed, the whole Church may serve the God of all blessings in
perfect liberty. Amen.
Leo XIII. March 4, 1882.
Note to the Online Edition
The English translation of the Complot contra la Iglesia is not as polished as
one would like. Whilst the rendering of many passages may at times appear rather
quaint, it often borders on the incoherent. We have remedied some of the more
obvious defects and obscure passages (in consultation with the original Spanish
edition), and hope that the extraordinary contents of this book will encourage
readers to overlook the many that remain.
Lest readers be deterred from continuing their reading by the long, indigestible
lists of Communist personnel found in Chapters 2 and 3 of Part One, we have
relegated much of this material to an appendix (as per the original Spanish edition)
and have presented the remainder in smaller typeface to indicate its secondary
reference-like nature.

INTRODUCTION TO THE AMERICAN EDITION
This historically important book will, in all probability, be
attacked as being anti-Semitic. Let nobody be led astray or
distracted, however, from a serious and scientific consideration
of the incontrovertible facts here set out. We are concerned
with a major factor of history, and more especially of the
history of the Christian Church. No crude, negative and
destructive anti-Semitism comes into question. That the Jews
have played a tremendous and not always beneficial role in the
whole story of mankind is obvious; that their activities were
not always friendly to Christianity and to the non-Jewish
peoples is equally obvious, and there is an enormous fund of
evidence from Jewish as well as other sources of unshakable
authority to prove this.
This work of great erudition displays not alone a knowledge
of events past, but shows also that its compilers had had
knowledge of events to come in some immensely important
respects. As readers will see from the foreword to a German-
language edition, the first edition of this work, in Italian, began
by stating that its authors knew that the purpose of calling the
Second Vatican Council was to persuade it to declare that the
Jews were not responsible for the Crucifixion of Our Saviour,
i.e., they were not guilty of deicide, and this book appeared
before the first session of the Council. Subsequently, as
forecast, this proposal was put forward, great pressures were
applied to get it accepted, and something, even if diluted, was
agreed upon at the end.
Now it cannot be denied, even apart from the essence of the
proposal itself, that the fact that any Jews, however
representative or otherwise of most of their co-religionists and
co-racialists, could do what they had done at the very highest
levels of the Catholic Church, is a matter of tremendous
significance to Catholics and all others, even to non-Christians.
And not only was it possible to find men at the summit of
the Hierarchy to further this project, but the Council appeared
to contain a large number of Bishops who, at the very least, did
not seem to understand the importance of the problem.
None can sit in judgment on those concerned; it is
7
understandable that the Jews want to “improve their image”,
especially as they have the power to do so. The lessons to be
drawn are, surely, not that the Jews as such or any who have
been misled should be the objects of severe criticism, but that
the facts, the truth concerning all matters of great importance,
and especially when they affect the purity and influence of the
Church, should be made widely known. In this all Churches
should help with a sense of urgency.
However, it should be pointed out to the Jews concerned
that instead of trying to improve their reputation and increase
their influence by fostering deceptions and attacking basic
Christian traditions, they would serve their own true interests
best by first setting their own hearts and attitude toward others
aright. Again and again they have overreached themselves over
the centuries, and then complained at the results for which
they alone were responsible.
In particular, this recent initiative in Rome has merely
served to draw the attention of intelligent and decent men to a
matter of immediate concern to all. It is the obvious duty of all
who may read this book to make its contents known and to
encourage all their friends to acquire, read and spread it.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ITALIAN EDITION
The most infamous conspiracy is in progress against the
Church. Her enemies are working to destroy the most holy
traditions and thus to introduce dangerous and evil-intended
reforms, such as those Calvin, Zwingli and other false teachers
once attempted. They manifest a hypocritical zeal to modernise
the Church and to adapt it to the present day situation, but in
reality they conceal the secret intention of opening the gates to
Communism, to hasten the collapse of the free world and to
prepare the further destruction of Christianity. All this it is
intended to put into effect at the coming Vatican Council. We
have proofs of how everything is being planned in secret
8
agreement with the leading forces of Communism, of world
Freemasonry and of the secret power directing these.
It is intended to first carry out a probe and to begin with the
reforms which encounter less resistance from the defenders of
Holy Church, in order to then gradually extend the range, as
weakening resistance allows this.
In addition, we have confirmation of what will still be
unbelievable for those who are not initiated, namely that the
anti-Christian forces have at their disposal, in the ranks of
Church dignitaries, a veritable “Fifth Column” of agents who
are the unconditional tools of Communism and of the secret
power directing it. For it has been revealed that those
cardinals, archbishops and bishops, who form a kind of
progressive wing within the Council, will attempt to bring
about a break through shameful reforms, whereby the good
faith and the eagerness for progress of many devout Council
Fathers will be deceived.
The assurance has been given that the Progressive block
forming at the beginning of the Synod will be able to count
upon the support of the Vatican, in which, so it is said, those
anti-Christian forces possess influence. This appears
unbelievable to us and sounds more like boastful arrogance by
the enemies of the Church than sober reality. However, we
mention this, so that one sees how far the enemies of
Catholicism and of the Free World risk revealing themselves.
Apart from the dangerous reforms in the doctrine of the
Church and her traditional policy which stand in open
contradiction to what was approved by the preceding Popes
and Ecumenical Councils, it is desired that the
Excommunication Bulls uttered by his Holiness Pope Pius XII
against the Communists and their lackeys be declared nullified.
In this manner the effort is made to establish a peaceful
coexistence with the Communists, which on the one side would
be harmful to the regard for Holy Church in the eyes of
Christians who fight against materialistic and atheistic
Communism and on the other side weaken the morale of these
fighters, hasten their defeat and would have as a consequence
dissolution in their own ranks, in order in such a way to ensure
the worldwide triumph of Red totalitarianism. Concern is
taken that Protestants and Orthodox are in no way invited who
9
fight heroically against Communism, but rather more only
those Churches and Church counsellors who stand under the
influence of Freemasonry, of Communism and the secret
power directing them. In this manner the Freemasons and
Communists disguised in priestly robes, who have usurped the
leading posts in such churches, work together concealed and in
a subtle way, but also very effectively, with their accomplices
who have infiltrated into the Catholic clergy.
On its side the Kremlin has already decided to refuse
known anti-Communist prelates an exit visa, and only to allow
their unconditional agents or those who, without being the
latter, have bowed out of fear of Red reprisals, to travel from
the satellite states. Thus at the Second Vatican Council the
Church will experience the silence of those who could defend
her best of all and could enlighten the Holy Synod concerning
what takes place in the Communist world.
This will undoubtedly seem incredible to those who read it;
but the events at the Holy Ecumenical Council will open their
eyes and convince them that we are speaking the truth. For it is
there that the enemy intends to play a trump card, whereby it,
so we are assured, will have on its side unconditional
accomplices among the highest Church dignitaries. A further
disastrous plan, which is being prepared, is that the Church
shall contradict itself, so as a result to sacrifice its regard with
the faithful; for later it will be broadcast that an institution
which contradicts itself cannot be divine. With this proof they
wish to desolate the Churches and achieve that the faithful lose
their confidence in the clergy and abandon them.
It is intended to cause the Church to declare that what it
has represented for centuries as bad, is now good. Among such
manoeuvres spun for this purpose one particularly stands out
on account of its importance, and refers in fact to the conduct
of Holy Church towards the damned Jews, as Saint Augustine
calls them; and this in reference both to those who nailed
Christ to the cross, as also to their descendants, who are both
archenemies of Christianity. The unanimous doctrine of the
great Church Fathers, that “unanimis consensus Patrum” which
the Church regards as a source of faith, condemned the
unbelieving Jews and declared the struggle against them to be
good and necessary.
