Vatican & B’Nai B’rith – a long story made short

March 13, 2025/10 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Francis Goumain

There’s something pathetic and final about this photo of a wheelchair-bound Pope receiving B’Nai’Brith’s highest honor: how can the Church ever recover from such an image?

It was May 30, 2022, Pope Francis received an award from B’Nai’Brith (the most powerful Jewish freemasonry) to thank him for his support of them.

All Francis’s predecessors, from Clement XII onwards, have condemned in advance such allegiance to the Anti-Christ sect. Among many other documents, we can only recommend Leo XIII’s magisterial encyclical Humanum genus (04/20/1884).

All his predecessors? No. In fact, Leo XIII’s encyclical would seem to mark the beginning of a gray area, getting darker and darker as we approach Pope Francis.

Pope Francis, during the audience granted to B’Nai’Brith on May 30, 2022, delivered an address that can be found here. In this address, he recalls the already long history of contacts between B’Nai’Brith and the Vatican.

Incidentally, this wasn’t the first time that Pope Francis himself had met B’Nai’Brith representatives at the Vatican; on June 25, 2015, a similar meeting had taken place, immortalized in a B’Nai’Brith video. Both sides are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Paul VI’s “Nostra Aetate” address on October 28, 1965. The text of Pope Francis’ address on this occasion is available here.

On its website, B’Nai’Brith likes to recall that before he was known around the world at Pope Francis, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio hosted B’nai B’rith’s Kristallnacht commemoration in Buenos Aires in 2012.

Going back to Pope Francis’ immediate predecessors, we find:

A meeting in the Papal Hall on Thursday, May 12, 2011, between Pope Benedict XVI and B’Nai’Brith: “Dear Friends, I am pleased to greet this delegation of B’nai B’rith International. I recall with pleasure my earlier meeting with a delegation of your organization some five years ago.”

About five years ago, says Pope Benedict XVI, and, indeed, on Monday December 18, 2006, the text of Pope Benedict’s address on that occasion can be found here.

Ten years earlier, on March 11, 1996, His Holiness John Paul II addressed a delegation from B’NAI B’RITH International: “Dear Friends, I am pleased to welcome once more a group of representatives of B nai B’rith International.”

September 29, 1984, address by John Paul II to a delegation from the Anti-Defamation League of B’Nai B’RITH (Sons of the Covenant) Consistory Hall of the Papal Palace, Castel Gandolfo.

All of John Paul II’s addresses to the Jewish community can be found here.

Pope John Paul II was the first to visit Auschwitz.

On Wednesday May 17, 1978 (in French, not available in English), during a general audience, Paul VI had these words for the B’NAI’BRITH: “To the Members of a Jewish Association. We now extend a warm welcome to the members of the Anti-Defamation League of B nai B’rith. We are very grateful for your visit and for the respect it shows.”

As mentioned above, Pope Paul VI began this whole shift towards the Jewish community (and other religions) with his Nostra aetate on October 28, 1965.

Finally, as JTA reminds us, on February 3, 1958, “Pope Pius XII granted an audience to Philip Klutznick and Frank Goldman, president and honorary president respectively, of the B’nai B’rith, it was announced here today when the two B’nai B’rith leaders returned from a trip to Rome and a subsequent tour of Israel. The Pope congratulated Mr. Klutznick and Mr. Goldmann on the good work and philanthropy of the B’nai B’rith.”

Makes you wonder if, in order to find Pope Francis’ successor, we shouldn’t find out about any B’Nai’Brith meetings with this or that cardinal.

Here’s a fine example with Cardinal Christoph von Schönborn, Austria, receiving his Menorah from B’nai B’rith on October 23, 2013.

The reason for the festivity: The European Lodge of B’nai B’rith wanted to give Schönborn its symbolic award, the “Menorah for outstanding humanitarian achievement.”  Ach so! However, the cardinal is already 80 years old …

In any case, to cut a long story short, we may be witnessing a historic reversal of the balance of power.

    Millions abandon the deeply infiltrated..adulterated pagan Old Roman church..no Jewish open borders scams will resolve that pristine Catholic problem.While we like a very particular fraction of the works of the aged ..octogenarian?..Catholic Christian screamer e.m.jones..he is flatly wrong on many points ,though somewhat clever on THE JEWS”.We always prefer,even though we are non sectarian Pro Gun –Christians…to read Tom Sunic than e.m.jones ,who has something..tendentious ..utterly predictable..repetitive narrative
    that equates his Holy Roman Catholic nonsense with real Christian individual spirituality. Actually to take this quite a bit further..we think Prof KM s utterly finessed works in his somewhat spectacular lifetime of .exposing the deep fissures ,the immense tidal waves of the lies and bloodthirsty tribal sins of *THE JEWS * is in actual fact…serving the Will Of The Lord in Heaven ,in many subtle ways..all other beliefs.. doubts..statements aside.. There is of course, nothing “Holy “whatsoever about the Pope. We also are proud of that brash young Catholic.financial.success.Nicholas.j.Fuentes.
    .Mr.Fuentes relentlessly correctly counter attacks “,The Jews,”not just Zionists beautifully..coherently as we also hope many young people will smash the overton.window of sudden sharp awakening to the manifold horrors of “The Jews”.All of this is not to say there are not good folk who characterize themselves as Catholic Christians..but no one needs a Pope ,no one needs pray to Catholic saints no one needs be a Catholic to be saved in Christ..again.. call no man father ..and we want nothing to do with some mythical catholic monarchy scenario .either. Still we are not in the Catholic club..we don’t worship the queen of heaven.or go soft on gays as the RCC and mcc does..*all Catholic lies aside..don’t forget tetzel and indulgences..or how deeply freemasonically murderous so many Jewish Jesuits were and many still are
    .so many homosexuals! like the multitudes of poorly hidden gay lesbian rabbis! We don’t want any of that pontificatory satanic degeneracy ..period.The Sicilians and Italians we grew up with used to say.”.no more poop from the Pope’..(gay Jewish or not..,) has e.m.Jones realized Americans don’t like his very bad stance on the 2A…don’t like his neo autocratic mentality…even if he does speak a little German….fact is Tom Sunic ..unfortunately not a Christian..blows e.m.jones out of the water on Race.on the history of the Balkans -on ,white European history..actually.though in some ways e.m.jones may be a nice but towheaded dogmatic guy..Tom Sunic intellectually and on” race ‘makes e. m.jones look like …”Arnold the turtle”

    In February 1958 Pope Pius XII was already sick: he will die next September.
    Quite probably he had no more strength and power to oppose those in his circle who were already plotting to get a “coming together” between the Church and the Jews and a recognition of the State of Israel.
    And perhaps he didn’t know the true nature (Masonic) of Bnai Brith.
    The dam was really opened by John XXIII, who became pope with tricks and frauds exactly like Bergoglio 55 years after him.

      Pius XII had already been defamed as “Hitler’s Pope” and may have had little stomach for this fight with anti-Catholic communism looming over eastern Europe and most of Asia. Missionaries were being carried into Hong Kong with broken bones and anti-Nazi & anti-Communist Cardinal Mindszenty was still trapped in the US Embassy.

    The vatican gave over all its handling of finances to the rotschildrobbers, ca 1820-1825, and from there on it became the slipery slope of today. Yaiik

    Pius X was ok, more than ok.
