Catholics have always known that Satan wages a constant war against the Church. But the past three centuries have witnessed a far more radical onslaught than ever before, leading to a rapid and universal apostasy among formerly Christian nations. Who or what is behind this greatest of all apostasies from the Catholic Church? According to this prophetic book, it is Freemasonry.

Originally published by Monsignor George Dillon, DD, in 1885 in response to Pope Leo XIII’s call to “tear away the mask from Freemasonry,” The War of the Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization lays out the facts of Freemasonry, its history, and its anti-Christic ideology. Though written over 130 years ago, it remains stunningly relevant. Monsignor Dillon details the Masonic plot to de-Christianize the world through the separation of Church and state, “democratic” ideology, religious indifferentism, civil marriage and easy divorce laws, secularized education, the encouragement of moral decay among the population, the destruction of the temporal and spiritual authority of the pope, all animated by an atheistic Socialist, Communist, and ultimately pantheistic ideology of nature worship that will climax with the arrival of the antichrist. The result was considered so trustworthy that Pope Leo XIII endorsed it and paid for its translation and printing in Italian.

This cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theory.”

But as Monsignor Dillon makes clear, the duty of Catholics in light of this war of the antichrist with the Church and Christian civilization remains constant: to love God above all, love our neighbors as ourselves, and to confront evil wherever we find it—first within ourselves, and then in the world around us. Only by bearing the cross with Our Lord during these dark days can we secure salvation for ourselves and others.

Freemasonry's pivotal role in undermining Catholicism

Posted by Peter Kwasniewski on Jun 8th 2023

I always find it amusing (though it's not really amusing at all) that so many Catholics continue to dismiss talk of Freemasonry as a major anti-Catholic influence in modern Western history, as if it's no more than an imaginary "conspiracy theory." The great value of this work by Msgr. George F. Dillon, first published in 1885 and here reprinted with copious explanatory notes, a superb and sizable introduction by the editor Joshua Charles, and the Latin and English of the letter from Leo XIII in which he specifically praises this work. Any skeptical reader who reads this book will come away with opened eyes and a sobered attitude, now equipped with a much more detailed grasp of the facts (yes, facts) of the Freemasonic campaign against the Catholic Church, and, indeed, against Judaeo-Christian revelation as such. Freemasonry is the symbolic-syncretistic-philosophical system that modernity has fashioned as a religion made in its own image. If you are looking to exit the realm of vague and grandiose speculation and come to grips with named names, dates, places, institutions, detailed connections of ideas and movements behind the dissolution of the Catholic Church's influence and purity of faith, this is the book where you will find all that. The editor and the publisher should be commended for making such a fine and annotated edition of a major but (curiously?) forgotten work that once attracted not only the notice and approbation but even the funding of Leo XIII for its Italian translation.

The War is Alive & Well

Posted by Cynthia B. on Jun 8th 2023

History has a way of repeating itself, and Monsignor Dillon reveals in an uncanny, prophetic way, that we are still embroiled in the war of the Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization. The Spirit of the Antichrist has been forever present, but at times, it has disappeared from the minds of men, only to reappear stronger than ever. The book goes into meticulous detail, on the rise of Freemasonry, and how it influenced politics and the Church. Do we not see this same Spirit of the Antichrist, in our time? The more we understand, the more we will know how to battle our infernal foe. The war of the Antichrist with the Church and Christian civilization will continue until the end of time. The good news is that we know, in the end, God wins.
