THAT 'MYSTERIOUS FORCE': Secret Society, Secret Plan, Public Popes | E16

Why did the Catholic Church once condemn Jewish Freemasonry in no uncertain terms—only for later popes of the 20th century to seemingly embrace its vision for global fraternity?

That includes many Catholics' most beloved.

In this episode of KNIGHT TIME, we trace the dramatic arc from the Church’s 18th and 19th century anathemas against secret societies to the unsettling signs of alliance in recent decades. Drawing from Christopher Ferrara's 'False Friends of Fatima', papal encyclicals, key video pulls from a Catholic religious, the secretive 'Alta Vendita' document, and the American experiment’s entanglement with Masonic principles, this episode explores how a centuries-old spiritual conflict has infiltrated both church and nation.

Was the shift accidental—or part of the plot warned about by the popes of old, who are actually not that old at all?

If you’re ready for the history they "forgot" to teach you in school, hit play.
