Summary: Total Crap!
Review: I'm a proud Catholic and Freemason. This book is the largest load of Crap I have ever read. Any Catholic who suports this should hang their head in shame. If Amazon offered negative star ratings this would be an excellent choice. It makes for good toilet paper though.

Summary: Ever More of Just the Same Tired Old Tripe
Review: It doesn't seem to matter how many times the truth about Taxil's articles and the Papacy's Oath Against Modernism are debunked. Some people will believe anything in print that confirms their own beliefs.

This book is nothing more than a rehash of the old, old rants and tirades.

(I didn't want to give it even one star, but I did not have that option!)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Expose of the Freemasons
Review: The author considers the fraternity of "Carbonari" which existed in Western Europe in previous centuries, but of which there is little evidence it still exists. He somehow equates it with the order of Freemasons by very tenuous means, and proceeds to tar the Freemasons with everything real or imagined he can blame the Carbonari for. Anyone who is familiar with the hoax about the "protocols of Zion" will fing this book oddly familiar.

Summary: Two thumbs up!
Review: This little booklet is shocking but excellent. John Vennari has compiled strongest evidence showing that the Masons have long tried to infiltrate the Catholic Church and achieved their greatest victory to date with the election of John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council. Vennari quotes from numerous Masons, theologians, and cardinals to prove his case. An excellent introductory guide to give to those Catholics who still don't believe the Church is in a major crisis. It won't go away until the Masons, liberals, and modernists have been defeated. Makes a terrific gift.

Summary: Outstanding work.
Review: This small booklet is really well done. It explains so much of what has happened to the Catholic Church over the last forty years. I know the other sources for the Alta Vendita, espeically from publications in France that date back to the 1920s -- 40 years before Vatican II. The Alta Vendita is a true document and because of Vatican II we are living through its fulfillment. Cardinal Suenens himself said "Vatican II is the French Revolution of the Church". God help us.
