I – THE “PRO DEO INFORMATION CENTER” (CIP)
Introduction
General William Donovan, Agent Morlion, and the "Pro Deo"
William Donovan (1883-1959), a U.S. Army general and secret agent who became head of the OSS during World War II, had secretly established a spy network with certain elements within the Vatican as early as 1941.
It was Donovan who recruited Frank Gigliotti and Father Morlion to prepare—in collaboration with the Mafia and Freemasonry, of which Gigliotti was a prominent and high-ranking member—the American landing in Sicily. As early as 1942, Donovan had contacted Mafia godfather Lucky Luciano (then imprisoned in New York) to facilitate contacts with the Sicilian Mafia, with the aim of ensuring the success of the landing and, above all, subsequently governing Sicily, and then all of Italy, "in complete peace and quiet." In short, much like the Camorra during the Risorgimento, led by Liborio Romano (Patù: 1793–1867)—a Freemason, Carbonaro since 1820, and head of the Camorra in 1860—who acted as a traitor (as head of the Bourbon police and Minister of the Interior of the Bourbon Kingdom, selling himself out in 1860 to the Piedmontese, Cavour and Garibaldi, as well as to England) within the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to bring about the fall of the Bourbons and establish the Savoyard monarchy in their place.
Furthermore, let's not forget that Gigliotti was a Protestant pastor and Morlion a Dominican friar. Donovan exploited their dual status as "religious/spy" for intelligence purposes, in order to propagate "democracy under God (and Mammon, especially)."
It was precisely in this same year that Donovan emigrated Father Morlion from Lisbon to New York, who had fled shortly before from Brussels, occupied by the Germans, to take refuge in Portugal; but there too, he did not feel safe, for he was wanted by the German political police (holy police and holy cleansing…), who could have caught him more easily in Europe than in the United States (cf. “Encyclopaedia Britannica”, Edinburgh, 1st edition, 1768-1771, 3 vols.; XVth and last edition, 1974-2010, 32 vols., entry “William Donovan”).
Then, as the war was coming to an end, in June 1944, when the Americans entered Rome, Donovan generously financed (“in the American style”) the “Centro Pro Deo” and brought Father Morlion back to Rome from New York, obtaining accommodation for him in the Vatican (cf. L. MONTUORI, Felix A. Morlion e il servizio segreto vaticano Pro Deo, Chieti, Solfanelli, 2023, p. 83).
Cardinal Gonçalves Cerejeira
in Lisbon – with the help of Cardinal Gonçalves Cerejeira (1888-1977), Patriarch of Lisbon from 1929 to 1971, representative of the corporatist-Catholic wing of integral Catholicism, close friend and collaborator of António Salazar (Prime Minister of Portugal from 1932 to 1968) – Morlion, who knew how to be truly transversal to all circles (from Italian-French Christian Democrats and progressives to Spanish-Portuguese authoritarians and integralist Catholics), a bit like Licio Gelli…, stayed in Lisbon for about a year, and, in May 1941, resumed contact with secret agents of the “Pro Deo” in South and North America.
And since, according to some or according to pro-American propaganda, there was a risk of a possible German invasion of Portugal and Spain…, Morlion was invited by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon and by the Portuguese Provincial of the Dominican Order to leave Europe and go to the United States (Ibid., p. 84)
Colonel
Mario Sacchi, Italian Chief of the General Staff (from December 5, 1945, to June 9, 1952), wrote a letter, officially sent from the General Command of the Carabinieri, to the Minister of the Interior (Mario Scelba) on January 20, 1952, informing the Minister that the "CIP Press Agency," formerly the "Pro Deo Information Center," was a branch of "Pro Deo," an organization affiliated with the Vatican (p. 86).
At that time, the "Pro Deo Agency" opened its new headquarters in Rome at Via Tevere 15, in the Parioli district. It published a periodical ("L'Ora dell'Azione") devoted to foreign and domestic policy, with particular attention to the USSR and the Italian Communist Party (PCI). A second of his periodicals (“L’Unione Popolare”) focused on trade union issues (ACLI) as well as “Catholic Action” (then headed by Luigi Gedda, who followed the path of integral Catholicism, entirely different from that of Morlion and his brothers), but more to keep it under observation than out of any desire for collaboration.
Furthermore, Colonel Sacchi specified that the “CIP” served to guide the domestic and foreign policy of the Italian press. However, between the lines, he implied that the “CIP” was not strictly speaking solely a cultural or information center; indeed, in a “Confidential” note dated October 20, 1950, written by an anonymous agent of the Milan police headquarters, it was stated that Father Morlion was at the head of the “CIP,” which was a kind of anti-communist Catholic “anti-Cominform,” headquartered in Lausanne (p. 89).
Many personalities collaborated with the “CIP”: Don Luigi Sturzo, Jacques Maritain, Mario Einaudi, Ludovico Montini (brother of Mgr Giovanni Battista and Christian Democratic senator, who had fought in Spain alongside the Reds against Franco) and Giorgio Bachelet (p. 98).
II- THE INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SOCIAL STUDIES (LUISS) "PRO DEO"
LUISS, Morlion, Andreotti, and Montini.
In 1948, the "LUISS Pro Deo University" was inaugurated in Rome (p. 111). Giulio Andreotti was one of its professors. Furthermore, on June 4, 1944, when the Americans entered Rome, Father Morlion—with the help of Monsignor Montini—created a new institution intended to promote the typically "Americanist" concept of a "democracy under God" (read "Christian Democracy"). On November 20, 1944, Montini inaugurated the "School of Mass Communication" at the LUISS "Pro Deo" University (p. 113).
This school went through two phases: in the first (1944-1948), it was primarily interested in Soviet and Italian communism and, purely for opportunistic reasons and for espionage purposes, and not out of conviction, aligned itself with the "Civic Committees" of Professor Luigi Gedda ("Pro Deo…").
During the second phase (1948-1953), after defeating the Italian Communist Party (PCI) in the elections of April 18, 1948, it focused more on training future leaders in commercial and economic sciences ("… and "Pro Mammon" …).
Valletta, Morelli, Montini, and Morlion.
In 1962, the "Pro Deo University" had approximately 2,000 members, mostly Africans, Asians, and North and South Americans; the environment was typically multiethnic, multicultural, and multifaith (open to Protestants and run by Jews, who, even then—in 1962—were our "elder brothers" in high finance, not in the Abrahamic faith).
At that time, "Pro Deo" came into contact with Vittorio Valletta (a Freemason, executive, CEO, and then president of FIAT from 1921 to 1966) and the lawyer Mario Morelli, who was very close to Monsignor Montini (p. 115).
Allen Dulles and Morlion.
However, in 1956, the CIA, through its director Allen W. Dulles (1893-1969), ceased funding "Pro Deo" (p. 118).
It is said, though not historically proven, that Allen W. Dulles joined Scottish Rite Freemasonry, even though no written or documented evidence of his affiliation exists (some high-ranking individuals only do so "in the Grand Master's ear" to avoid leaving any trace); however, his connections with the Mafia godfather and Master Mason Frank Gigliotti, as well as with the P2 lodge, are documented. Gigliotti (Catanzaro, October 15, 1896 – La Mesa, California, May 10, 1975) was a Presbyterian minister, Freemason, and American secret agent, although he was of Calabrian origin. He served as a link between the OSS/CIA, Italian Freemasonry, and the Sicilian Mafia. He was one of the principal architects of the revival of Italian Freemasonry after the fall of fascism, which had dissolved and outlawed it in 1925. He actively collaborated with the American ambassador to Rome, James Zellerbach (see below), in the restitution of the Palazzo Giustiniani to Freemasonry, which had been confiscated by fascism. American intelligence services used Gigliotti to further the rise of Licio Gelli (1919–2015).
The “MK-Ultra Project”
In 1953, he conceived the “MK-Ultra Project” and implemented it through a decree dated April 13 of the same year. This project aimed to counter research conducted by the Soviets, Chinese, and Koreans on “mind control,” that is, the control of individuals’ psyches. This was intended to allow the creation of unconscious assassins (widely used by intelligence services) or the control of troublesome foreign leaders. The project was funded to the tune of $25 million and involved approximately 80 institutions, including 44 universities (Columbia University, Stanford University, Harvard University, etc.) and 12 hospitals. In 1964, the project was renamed "MK-Search" because it specialized in the creation of the truth serum, based on LSD, which was first produced in Belgium in 1953, then in the United States in 1954. This substance was used to interrogate KGB agents during the Cold War. However, almost all the documents relating to "Project MK-Ultra" were destroyed in 1973 on the orders of the then CIA director, Richard Helms (1913–2002); it is therefore very difficult to reconstruct with certainty all the activities carried out within this framework.
Moreover, even in the Vatican, many prelates – still faithful to Pacelli's line – were reluctant to embrace the "ecumenical, secular and democratic project" of Morlion and Montini's "Pro Deo" (p. 123), which was now beginning to lose almost all of its support, especially after the departure from the Vatican Curia in the autumn of 1954 of Monsignor Montini, who had lost the esteem of Pius XII and had entered into open conflict with the traditionalist wing of the Vatican (Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani and Giuseppe Siri, president of the CEI), by defending the moderately progressive line of "democracy under God".
The “American Jewish Committee” funds “Pro Deo et Mammon”…
In contrast, the American Jewish Committee, the world's leading organization for the defense of Jews and the fight against antisemitism, "maintained close ties with the International Pro Deo University at least since the early 1950s" (p. 124). Yet, Saint Paul and the Gospel teach us: "What covenant can there be between Christ and Belial?" [...] "Between God and Mammon?" (2 Corinthians 6:15-17; Matthew 6:24).
However, in an internal memo dated May 22, 1957, typed and written anonymously, which summarized the history and nature of the university founded by Father Morlion, it was stated that "Morlion was active in the field of psychological warfare in the United States between 1941 and 1944 and was the first to be blacklisted by the Nazis because of the espionage activities he had carried out through the 'International Pro Deo Center' in Brussels."
Morlion and the “American way of life”…
Moreover, his confrontation with the “American way of life” convinced him to found his university, applying the Americanist philosophy of the Founding Fathers of the United States (Puritanism, which was to “purify” Christianity of Papism) for the international promotion of “democracy under God” (p. 125); all this would almost bring back into fashion the phrase that Marcus Porcius Cato (234 BC – 149 BC) uttered at the end of each of his speeches: “Ceterum censeo Cartago delenda est”…
Indeed, Morlion’s “Pro Deo” should more accurately have been titled “Pro Deo and Mammon,” since it sought to reconcile the irreconcilable: God and Mammon, yes and no; but the Gospel teaches us: “Let your yes be yes, let your no be no; "All the rest comes from the Evil One" (Mt 5:37).
The essence of Americanism
Monsignor Henri Delassus (Americanism and the Anti-Christian Conspiracy, Lille-Paris, Desclée De Brouwer, 1899, Italian trans. L'Americanismo e la Congiura anticristiana, Proceno, Effedieffe, 2015), explains that the term "American Catholicism" or Americanism (condemned by Leo XIII in the Letter Testem benevolentiae of 1895) does not designate a schism or a heresy, but "a set of doctrinal and practical tendencies, which have their seat in America and which, from there, spread in the Christian world and especially in Europe" (p. 3). Beware of American “Catholicism”…
The most troubling aspect of Americanism lies in “its relationship to the hopes and projects of Judaism, especially to the anti-Christian tendencies of the laws of the modern world and of American society, which aspires to hold a monopoly on revolutionary thought” (p. 7).
One of the “distinctive elements of the ‘American Mission’ is the return to the unity of all religions, through the destruction of barriers and differences, culminating in an International Congress of Tolerance [if Merlin permits, ed.] among religions, in order to fight together against atheism” (p. 124). The indifferentism or principled tolerance toward which Americanism tends consists of placing “all religions on an equal footing, as all being equally good” (p. 85).
“The anti-Catholic conspiracy is infiltrating everywhere, in order to destroy—if that were possible—the Church and to erect in its place a liberal and humanitarian Judaism” (p. 89). “This conspiracy has become universal” (p. 90).
“Presumption or overconfidence is the specific characteristic of Americanism, and Jews hope to bring forth from it a liberal and philanthropic Israelism” (pp. 92-93), that is to say, the neo-religiosity of the new era.
Monsignor Henri Delassus (p. 94) explains that the Magisterium of the Church has condemned all the false principles on which the Americanist spirit rests: human rights (condemned by Pius VI); The absolute freedom of the human person, freedom of thought, of the press, of conscience and of religion (by Gregory XVI and Pius IX), the separation between State and Church (by Leo XIII).
On the contrary, for Americanists, it is necessary to base oneself on "broad or latitudinarian liberalism and on extreme doctrinal tolerance, avoiding speaking of anything that might displease Protestants and other religions" (p. 97).
For the Church of Rome, “Catholicism is the true religion, while for Americanists, it is just one religion among many” (p. 100). Unfortunately, the Americanist ideal (some fifty to seventy years after the condemnation of Leo XIII) has materialized, first latently during the Second Vatican Council, then openly in Assisi in 1986 and 2016. Indeed, “Americanists claim that American ideas are those that God wants for all the peoples of our time. Judaism and Americanism [Netanyahu and Trump, ed.] believe they have received a ‘divine mission.’ Unfortunately, America’s influence, with its spirit of absolute freedom, is spreading more and more among the nations, so that America will dominate the other nations” (pp. 187–188).
America (along with the State of Israel, ed.) appears to be the "Nation of the Future" (p. 190). However – the prelate comments – "if this future is one of industrial and commercial, social and political development, according to the principles of 1789, that is to say, material progress and the absolute independence of man from all authority, even divine, the era we will see will be the most disastrous ever known. During this era, America (with Israel) will destroy European national traditions, to merge them into unity or the Pax Americana" (pp. 191-192).
The foundation, or lowest common denominator, of this mixture of religions, peoples, and cultures is a sentimental moralism or "a vague morality" (p. 192), subjective and autonomous in the Kantian manner, "independent of dogma, where everyone is free to interpret it in their own way" (p. 130).
This has materialized today in the union between Americanist and Christian-Zionist "theoconservatives," Zionism, and certain conservative-liberal elements of Catholicism, who unite to defend life, the embryo, against atheistic materialism (which is a good thing in itself), but at the expense of the specificity and purity of dogma (which is unacceptable), the cultural tradition of each nation, and ethnic differences.
“The neo-Christian or Americanist movement tends to break free from dogma in order to base itself on the beauty of ethics” (p. 60), “to replace Faith with an independent culture or moral sensibility, through a vague religiosity superior to all other positive religions” (p. 76).
According to Catholic doctrine, “faith without works is dead” (James, Epistle 2:26), but “without faith one cannot please God” (Hebrews 11:6). Therefore, morality should not be scorned, but neither should religion be reduced to morality alone, without further regard for dogmatic integrity.
Monsignor Delassus explains himself even more clearly by writing: "There is an understanding between Judaism and Americanism, aimed at replacing the Catholic religion with this 'ecumenical or globalist Church', this 'democratic religion', whose advent the Alliance Israélite Universelle is preparing" (p. 193).
Americanism is the instrument of liberal and philanthropic-humanitarian Judaism, which has replaced the "faith" of Orthodox Judaism (in a personal and militant Messiah, who would have restored Israel's domination over the world) with the "human belief" of liberal Judaism (in an "idea-Messiah," that is, the modern world, born of humanism, Protestantism, and the revolutionary English, American, and French Enlightenment, which will plunge the world into relativism and irenicism, which will erode the Catholic Creed and what remains of European Christendom), "in order to lead humanity, gently, toward the New Jerusalem" (p. 195).
Jewish high finance and “Pro Deo”…
Finally, Montuori writes that “Frank Altschul, Nathan Cummings, Leo Cherne, and David Steinman were the first Jewish members of the board of directors of the ‘American Council for the International Promotion of Democracy Under God’” (Ibid.).
In short, the Christian Democratic plan—conceived by Morlion, Murri, Sturzo, De Gasperi, and Montini—which gave rise to “Pro Deo,” was financed by Jewish high finance established in North America.
Beware of millions of American dollars; they are “healthy carriers of democracy” with or “under God”… those who distribute them do not get sick, those who receive them are lost.
The “Pro Deo,” Rabinowitz, and Zellerbach.
Furthermore, the “Pro Deo” operated under the auspices of a board of trustees responsible for university programs, precisely at the time when Louis Rabinowitz… succeeded James Zellerbach… on the board of trustees (Ibid.).
In reality, it was Morlion who founded an “American Council” and a “Board of Trustees” to finance the “Pro Deo.” The “Pro Deo,” with Morlion, Rabinowitz, and Zellerbach, became the launching pad for “ecumenism,” which exploded during the Second Vatican Council, prepared by the OSS, the CIA, B’nai B’rith…
Bea, Heschel, and Morlion:
The relationship between Bea and Morlion was very close and crucial; this collaboration, which began in the 1960s, developed primarily during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), reaching its peak with the drafting of "Nostra Aetate" (October 28, 1965).
Cardinal Augustin Bea benefited from Morlion's diplomatic and espionage networks of influence, and Morlion made available to Bea his long-standing international connections between the "Pro Deo University" and the American Jewish community ("American Jewish Committee" or "AJC").
However, Bea (representing Judaizing modernist theology) and Morlion (representing clandestine diplomacy, i.e., espionage parallel to the official Vatican diplomacy) faced a very virulent reaction from traditionalist prelates, particularly Bishop Luigi M. Carli (1914–1986), Bishop of Segni and later of Gaeta, a leading expert on Jewish affairs.
Morlion defended Bea with exceptional zeal, both publicly and, especially, privately. Among the Jewish leaders who worked for Morlion and Bea during the drafting of "Nostra Aetate" were: Rabbi Marc Tenembaum, born in Baltimore, USA, but of Ukrainian origin (director of "Interreligious Affairs" for the American Jewish Committee, who maintained ties with Morlion until the 1980s); most notably, Abraham Joshua Heschel, a Polish man born in Warsaw (and very dear to Cristina Campo), who spearheaded Judaization within Vatican circles; Zachariah Shuster, a Polish-American ("American Jewish Committee," which also had its headquarters in Paris from 1948 to 1974 and managed, with Tenembaum and Morlion, the parallel and secret diplomatic channels between the Vatican and Jewish circles to facilitate meetings between American and French Jews and progressive prelates); and Joseph Lichten (ADL of B'nai B'rith), a Polish Jew born in Warsaw, who managed relations between the European Judaism and the Judaizers of the Vatican.
While Heschel (1907 – 1972) was irritated when the traditionalist cardinals (notably Ottaviani, Ruffini and Siri) obtained a modification of the text of "Nostra aetate", Tenembaum (1925 – 1992), Shuster (1902 – 1986) and Lichten (1906 – 1987), on the contrary, showed themselves to be more diplomatic and maintained good relations with Morlion until the end of his life (1987), without any hardening or any break.
The "secret talks" between Morlion, Heschel (and his acolytes) and Bea may well be the real hidden engine that led to "Nostra aetate"; indeed, while the traditionalist cardinals fiercely opposed this "Judeo-Christian oxymoron", Bea supported it "theologically" (albeit very superficially) in the pages of "La Civiltà Cattolica" (with the substantial and fundamental support of John XXIII and Paul VI), and Morlion exploited his American spy network as a free zone for talks between Judaizers and modernists as early as 1961 in Rome (that is, even a year before the opening of Vatican II...). On May 22, 1962 (five months before the opening of the Council…), Rabbi Heschel drafted a memorandum entitled “Improving Relations Between Catholics and Jews” on behalf of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), which was officially presented to Bishop Bea. This document called for the condemnation of theological anti-Judaism; the elimination of the doctrine of deicide; the recognition of Talmudic Judaism as a living religion, albeit one without a Temple, priesthood, or sacrifice; and the rejection of Catholic proselytism toward anti-Christian Judaism. Cardinals Alfredo Ottaviani and Ernesto Ruffini, as well as Bishop Luigi Maria Carli (in the pages of “La Palestra del Clero”), vehemently attacked this memorandum. Heschel, through Morlion's spy networks, met with Bea and sharply accused him of failing to complete the revision of Jewish-Christian relations, having instead reached a compromise with Cardinal Ottaviani. It was then that Paul VI intervened personally and softened the amendments Ottaviani had imposed… Heschel was satisfied… (cf. EDWARD K. KAPLAN, Spiritual Radical: Abraham Heschel in America, 1940-1972, New Haven, Yale University Press, 2007, 2nd ed. 2009; ABRAHAM J. HESCHEL, AJC and the Spirit of Nostra aetate, ed. American Jewish Committee, New York, 2008).
It should be noted that it was Cristina Campo who introduced and translated Heschel in Italy; She held him in high esteem, and is herself esteemed by many traditionalists devoted to the traditional Mass… Her books were published by Rusconi in Milan in the 1970s and, “it goes without saying,” Heschel was very popular in Italian political “right-wing” circles. Fini and Meloni, in Fiuggi as well as Atreju, invented nothing: “Every new error is as old as the devil” (p. Matteo Liberatore); Almirante was fundamentally of the same ilk, even if of a distinctly superior quality…
The devil makes promises but doesn't keep them.
However, towards the beginning of the 1970s, when the disaster of Vatican II was now complete, "Pro Deo" was no longer of any use and... it was abandoned like an old shoe by Jewish high finance.
As "Pro Deo" risked bankruptcy, it was abandoned by the United States, but was saved in 1974 by the Italian Confindustria, chaired by Giovanni Agnelli, as well as by his brother Umberto and by the president of FIAT, Vittorio Valletta (Freemasonry). Thus was born "LUISS/FIAT" (and not "Voluntas Dei"), which replaced the obsolete and overly "clerical" "Pro Deo," in a certain break with the management of Morlion, now outdated: every revolutionary is overtaken by the left by an ultra-revolutionary, more radical than himself.
The new president of LUISS (from 1978 to 1993) was Guido Carli (1914–1993), governor of the Bank of Italy (1960–1975) and Minister of the Treasury (1989–1992). His father, Filippo (1876–1938), had been a member of the National Fascist Party since 1922, a professor of political economy at the university, and the author of an essay on the theoretical foundations of the fascist and corporatist state (FILIPPO CARLI, Padua, Cedam, 1938). Ferruccio Pinotti (Fratelli d'Italia, Milan, BUR, 2007; ID., Potere massonico, Rome, Chiarelettere, 2021) attributed to the historian and freemason Aldo Mola (Storia della Massoneria italiana plaque origini ai giorni nostri, Milan, Bompiani, 1992, p. 744) the information according to which Guido Carli would have been inscribed to Freemasonry within the “Giustizia e Libertà” lodge, but this information is unreliable and is not historically proven. Roberto Fabiani also affirms the Masonic affiliation of Guido Carli (I massoni in Italia, Editoriale L'Espresso, Milano, 1978, p. 48-49); Similarly, Enrico Cuccia, Cesare Merzagora, and Eugenio Cefis (Enrico Mattei's "liquidator") were allegedly members of Freemasonry.
As can be seen, without giving in to low-level conspiracy theories, Jewish high finance, through its considerable donations, directed the "Pro Deo" association from the outside, which had nothing to do with the Triune God, but was rather in cahoots with the "four-triune god" or "Mammon," as well as with the one whom Jesus designated as the true father of the Pharisees: "Your father is the devil!" (John 8:44).
It is therefore not surprising that the “Pro Deo Centre” of Morlion has left us with poisonous fruits: the beat-mass, the secularization of Italy and formerly Christian Europe, Americanization, ecumenical dialogue, multi-ethnic “civilization”... Indeed, it had been conceived precisely for this demonic purpose.
Caveamus!
When millions of dollars are distributed "selflessly" by philanthropists (read: Freemasons, Jews, Americanists…) to help organizations that were (formerly) Catholic: either we reject these dollars, or we dilute Catholicism through Americanism, which is a disguised form of Talmudic Judaism ("tertium non datur").
Beware of being seduced by American dollars; at the very least, we risk ending up here on Earth like Morlion and Bea: used and then abandoned, and then (God forbid) in the afterlife, losing eternal life.
The problem of the present time:
Without the "philanthropic" and disinterested donations of Jewish high finance to certain neo-conservative circles of vaguely Christian inspiration, it would be impossible to explain the Revolution of Vatican II and the post-council period (from John Paul II to Leo XIV) nor the attempt (currently underway and not yet completed) of Jewish/Masonic infiltration within the traditionalist milieu which still resists Vatican II and the "Novus Ordo Missae", by means of conferences on the Antichrist and generous and philanthropic donations, very similar to those of "usurers".
What lesson can be learned from the "Morlion affair"?
Well, it was a single, but multi-part, maneuver that led the "Synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 2:9) from 1943—with OSS agent Morlion landing in Sicily and then traveling to Rome—to the present day, attempting—even in this year 2026—to finance, infiltrate, and absorb the traditionalist movement that resisted the "New Theology" of Vatican II and the "Novus Ordo Missae," in order to completely destroy even the last vestiges of the Church ("Si fieri potest," "Absit!"), after having devastated, but not annihilated, the Vatican; all this to avenge the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Now, this maneuver, 1) while on the one hand it seems to be meeting with some success; 2) On the other hand, it is doomed to failure because of Jesus' promise to his Church, which "is the Roman Church," as Pius XII reaffirmed in the encyclical Mystici Corporis (June 29, 1943): "I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Mt 28:20) and "The gates of hell shall not prevail against my Church" (Mt 16:18).
Therefore, 3) we must fight the good fight—maintaining confidence in God's triumph and the unshakeable strength of his Church—without becoming discouraged, nor presuming that we (a part of "the Body of Christ, which is the Church," 1 Cor 12:12ff) could win the war, as if the Church belonged to us or, worse still, as if we were the Church; but we are only members of the Church militant.
Indeed, victory, help, and invincibility were promised by God to His Church, not to a part or an individual within it. Beware: mistaking the part for the whole is extremely dangerous; it is the very nature of sects: "Giants with feet of clay" (Daniel 2:31-35).
The "Morlion affair" is truly "intriguing," like something out of an Agatha Christie mystery, but unfortunately, it reflects harsh reality: "The children of darkness are more shrewd in their own affairs than the children of light" (Luke 16:8).
Kyrie, eleison!

(To be continued)
1 Italian pun: “santa polizia e pulizia…”
2 Monsignor Montini maintained close, continuous and strategic relations with the American intelligence services (OSS and CIA) between the 1940s and 1950s (cf. GIOVANNI SANTAMBROGIO, “Il Sole 24 Ore”, April 2, 2019). Besides General Donovan, his interlocutors included Myron Taylor (1874–1959), President Franklin D. Roosevelt's special envoy to the Vatican (who played a fundamental role in the negotiations conducted jointly with then-Monsignor Montini to achieve the "armistice" of September 8, 1943), and James Jesus Angleton (1917–1987), the legendary head of OSS counterintelligence in Italy, who later joined the CIA and established a lasting alliance between the United States and the Sicilian Mafia (see William Colby, *La mia vita nella CIA*, Milan, Mursia, 1979). His collaboration continued from 1947 to 1974 as head of the CIA, but his role as an "informant" never truly ended, lasting almost until the end of his life. He maintained close ties with Father Morlion, who was protected and supported by Montini through the Vatican Secretariat of State. In 1951, Montini personally traveled to the United States. It is worth noting that Angleton, through the American secret agent and psychiatrist Steve Pieczenik (born December 7, 1943, in Havana, Cuba, still alive), played a leading role in the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, siding with and enforcing the "hardline" approach, which ultimately led to the assassination of the Christian Democratic leader in 1978 to prevent him from speaking out once freed. In 1974, during a trip to the United States, Moro received death threats from Kissinger if he continued his pro-Arab, center-left political line, which was distancing him from the Atlantic Pact. Angleton was also the architect and financial backer of the paramilitary organization "Gladio."
3. The lawyer Mario Morelli (born in Naples in 1913) was a high-ranking Italian official of Confindustria, of which he was director general and secretary general after the Second World War. His links with Monsignor Giovanni Battista Montini date back to the 1940s, particularly during the Second World War, when Montini worked at the Vatican Secretariat of State and maintained contacts with the CIA; in the language of the Curia: he was not an informant, but "maintained an exchange of diplomatic information with them", with the aim of accelerating the fall of the fascist regime and establishing "democracy under God and Mammon" in Italy and throughout Europe. In the autumn of 1944 (more precisely, from November 1944 to February 1945), Morelli traveled to Washington on a highly confidential special mission (of a diplomatic and commercial nature), accompanied by Raffaele Mattioli (Comit), Enrico Cuccia (Iri/Mediobanca), and Quinto Quintieri, the former Minister of Finance in Badoglio's second government (April 22, 1944 – June 8, 1944). Around the same time, and even more discreetly and cautiously, Monsignor Montini also traveled to the United States to establish the first economic and political ties between the United States and the future democratic and "Christian" Italy. This double trip, which was in reality only one, aimed to make the American administration understand that the future republican and anti-fascist Italy benefited from the support of secular finance (Mattioli and Cuccia), a stable and moderate governmental entity (Morelli and Quintieri) and the Vatican, which was already at the time "ideally post-Pacellian", modernized, Americanized and Christian-democratic (Montini); All that remained was to wait for Dr. Riccardo Galeazzi Lisi (who sold to French newspapers about twenty photos he had taken of the Pope's agony, and was struck off the Order of Physicians after badly embalming the latter's body which exploded; cf. R. GALEAZZI LISI, In the Shadow and in the Light of Pius XII, Paris, 1960)… After the Second World War, Morelli was promoted to the position of Director General, then Secretary General of Confindustria; we do not know exactly where or when he died, probably towards the end of the 90s of the 20th century, but we do not know the place (cf. MAURIZIO BLONDET, Gli Adelphi della dissoluzione, Milan, Ares, 1994; GIANCARLO GGALLI, IlPadrone dei Padroni. Enrico Cuccia, il potere di Mediobanca e il capitalismo italiano, Garzanti, Milan, 1995; ID., Il banchiere eretico. La singolare vita di Raffaele Mattioli, Rusconi, Milan, 1998).
4 Frank Altschul (April 21, 1887 – May 29, 1981), an Ashkenazi Jewish banker originally from Prague, born in San Francisco, worked at "Lazard Frères & Company"; he was vice-president and secretary of the "CFR". His wife, Helen Lehman Goodhart, belonged to the family of bankers who founded Lehman Brothers (see V. Aubourg, “A Philosophy of Democracy under God: C.D. Jackson, Henry Luce and the Pro Deo Movement (1941–1964)” in “Revue française d’études américaines,” 2006/1, no. 107, p. 35; Albin Krebs, “Frank Altschul, a Banker and Philanthropist,” “New York Times,” May 30, 1981, p. 21).
Nathan Cummings (1896–1985) was a prominent Canadian businessman and philanthropist, a naturalized American citizen of Jewish origin. His relationship with Morlion was rooted in international philanthropy, parallel diplomacy to that of governments and the Vatican, and interreligious cooperation. Although Jewish, he actively supported initiatives Father Morlion's activities were based on three main axes: 1) the financing and support of "Pro Deo"; 2) the organization of the "Agape" meetings, held in New York under the auspices of "Pro Deo" and directed by Morlion. Leaders from various religious denominations, particularly Jewish and Christian, also participated in order to promote globalism. In April 1963, at the Plaza Hotel in New York, Cardinal Augustin Bea, a key figure in Jewish-Christian interreligious dialogue, participated and also spoke (for an analysis of Bea's figure, see the anti-modernist bi-monthly "sì sì no no", 2025/2026, also available on the website sisinono.org ; the printed version can be requested at the following address: sisinono@tiscali.it ).
6 Leo Cherne (1912–1999) was an American economist, lawyer, philanthropist (as always…) and politician of Russian Jewish origin. He exerted a considerable and profound influence on US foreign policy without ever holding public office, serving as a consultant and advisor to nine (9!) American presidents for nearly 60 consecutive years: from Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933–1945) to George H.W. Bush Sr. (1989–1993). In 1936, he co-founded the RIA (Research Institute of America), the giant business consulting firm that provided economic analysis and political-military intelligence, particularly during World War II. For many years, he was a member of the PFIAB (President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board), the White House advisory body responsible for overseeing all the different branches of the American intelligence services; In short, the agency that advised American presidents on intelligence matters, coordinating their work, particularly during the presidency of George W. Bush Jr. Furthermore, it collaborated closely with the CIA and was therefore a colleague of Morlion. In 1984, President Reagan awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest American civilian honor). See MICHAEL T. KAUFMAN, “Leo Cherne, Leader of Agency For Refugees,” The New York Times, January 14, 1999, p. 21.
David Steinman (1886–1960) was a world-renowned American civil engineer specializing in bridge design. He was also an intellectual. Not only did he build steel and concrete bridges, but he considered them symbols meant to unite different cultures, peoples, and religions. He was born in what is now Belarus to a Jewish family that had emigrated to the United States. He saw God as the "Great Architect of the Universe"; in short, he was a Freemason. Furthermore, he was fascinated by the history of medieval cathedral-building guilds (see "Who's Who in America: A Biographical Dictionary of Notable Living Men and Women, 1960-1961," ed. XXXI, Chicago, 1961, p. 2766; JOHN BEAR – ALLEN EZELL, "Degree Mills: The Billion-Dollar Industry," New York, Prometheus Books, 2012).
Louis M. Rabinowitz (1887–1957), a renowned industrialist and philanthropist (that goes without saying…). The ties between the Rabinowitz and Morlion families are rooted in the post-war Atlantic geopolitical and pan-ecumenical interreligious context, which awaited the death of Pius XII to manifest itself openly. In addition to the "Pro Deo," Rabinowitz also funded Yale and Columbia universities. See W.F. Albright, "Louis M. Rabinowitz in Memoriam," Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research, no. 146, April 1957, p. 2.
9 James David Zellerbach (1892–1963) was born and raised in one of San Francisco's most prominent and influential Jewish families; he was a renowned American entrepreneur and diplomat who also headed the Marshall Plan mission in Italy from 1948 to 1950. He also served as the United States Ambassador to Rome from 1957 to 1960 and came into contact with Mafia boss Frank Gigliotti. He always played an active role in the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He was also a member of the board of trustees of Father Morlion University. The "Pro Deo" was characterized by three fundamental components: 1) Americanism to be exported worldwide, through American intelligence services (OSS, CIA), by applying the Puritan "philosophy" of the Founding Fathers of the United States, particularly in Europe and Latin America; 2) Judeo-Americanism, in order to give an ecumenical character to the "Pro Deo" university (that is, to empty or "purify"—in the Puritan manner—Catholicism of its nature and leave only the name and appearance). In short, the Judaizing ecumenism of "Nostra aetate" was born as early as 1946 with the "Pro Deo" of Morlion, Bea, and Montini; 3) Capitalist Catholicism: he was indeed convinced that he could lead man to God through super-capital and hyper-liberalism.
