'At this period, however, the partisans of evil seem to be combining together, and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons. No longer making any secret of their purposes, they are now boldly rising up against God Himself. They are planning the destruction of holy Church publicly and openly, and this with the set purpose of despoiling utterly the nations of Christendom, if it were possible, of the blessings obtained for us through Jesus Christ our Saviour'... 'that which is their ultimate purpose forces itself into view - namely, the utter overthrow of that political and religious order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.'
Pope Leo XIII, Humanum Genus (HG 2; 10), 1884. Â Â Â Â
