“The main, the fiercest, and the most powerful enemy of the Church is the Freemasons. That the current flood of Protestant sects is actually the vanguard of Freemasonry is expressly acknowledged by the Masonic magazine ‘Wolna Mysl.’ They state: ‘While we reserve the right to a fully independent assessment of the internal validity of the doctrine of the national church, we can still support its struggle, as well as that of any other Protestant sect, against the supremacy of the Roman Church’… Their goal is to ‘grant ample freedom to each, according to their own ideas and imagination, in judging the religion they profess. And after instilling indifference toward religion—which thing could not possibly be more sinister—they aim to desecrate and insult the passion of Jesus Christ with unworthy rites, to despise the Sacraments of the Church and even the mysteries of the Catholic faith, and to beat down this holy Apostolic See [Rome], against which they harbor special hatred and which they all conspire to lay to ruin by cunning, for it always retains the primacy of the apostolic chair. The principles of their morality are wicked. They promote the pleasures of the senses, allow anyone who has failed to keep their secret to be killed, teach people that it is lawful to provoke rebellion to dethrone kings and all the rulers, who with great contempt they brazenly call tyrants… What are these basic points [of their agenda]? Here they are: the total annihilation of the supernatural world. It is clear that at this point one can no longer speak of religion or morality. Their great efforts to achieve that goal are clear at every step. Art, literature and magazines, theaters, cinemas, youth education, and legislation are briskly moving toward the abolition of the supernatural world and the gratification of the pleasures of the flesh… How can we possibly counter this plague, this army of the Antichrist? The Immaculata, Mediatrix of all graces, can and wants to help us. To what purpose, otherwise, the apparitions in Lourdes, the revelation of the Miraculous Medal, by which many a person has already been converted? A soul that is imbued with love for her will certainly oppose the work of depravity, the main weapon in the hands of Freemasonry. ‘We will not vanquish the Church by argument,’ the Freemasons declared in one of their meetings, ‘but by corrupting morals.’” St. Maximilian Kolbe, “The Current Enemies of the Church” (October 19, 1922)
