ON "THE RIGHTS OF MAN"
Edited by Dr. Mary Buckalew
THE SPIRIT OF VATICAN II:
_______________________________________________________________
"Beginning our discussion of the rights of man, we see that every man has the right to life, to bodily integrity, and to the means which are necessary and suitable for the proper development of life; these are primarily food, clothing, shelter, rest, medical care, and…the necessary social services…
"Every human being has the right to honor God according to the dictates of an upright conscience, and therefore the right to worship God privately and publicly…" (My emphasis.)
(John XXIII, Pacem in Terris, 11 April 1963.)
******************
"What sadness we feel in the face of such sufferings! What displeasure to see that in certain countries religious liberty, like other fundamental rights of man, is being crushed by principles and methods of political, racial, or anti-religious intolerance! The heart grieves to have to observe that in the world there are still so many acts of injustice against goodness and the free profession of one's religious faith." (My emphasis.)
(Paul VI, Address at the Opening of the Second Session of Vatican II, 29 September 1963.
In Council Daybook: Vatican II Sessions 1 and 2. Ed. Floyd Anderson.
Washington, D.C.: National Catholic Welfare Conference, 1965.)
*****************
"The protection and promotion of the inviolable rights of man is an essential duty of every civil authority. The civil authority therefore must undertake to safeguard the religious freedom of all the citizens in an effective manner by just legislation and other appropriate means. It must help to create conditions favorable to the fostering of religious life so that the citizens will be really in a position to exercise their religious rights…" (My emphasis.)
(Vatican II, Dignitatis Humanae [Declaration on Religious Liberty], 7 December 1965.
In Vatican Council II: The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents. Ed. Austin Flannery, O.P.
Collegeville, Minn.: The Liturgical Press, 1975.)
*****************
"…the rights of power can only be understood on the basis of respect for the objective and inviolable rights of man…
"These rights are rightly reckoned to include the right to religious freedom of conscience….Certainly the curtailment of the religious freedom of individuals and communities is not only a painful experience but it is above all an attack on man's very dignity, independently of the religion professed or of the concept of the world which these individuals and communities have. The curtailment and violation of religious freedom are in contrast with man's dignity and his objective rights….In this case we are undoubtedly confronted with a radical injustice with regard to what is particularly deep within man, what is authentically human…" (My emphasis.)
(John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis, art. 17, 4 March 1979.)
*****************
"In a movement that one hopes will be progressive and continuous, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the other international and national juridical instruments are endeavouring to create general awareness of the dignity of the human being, and to define at least some of the inalienable rights of man. Permit me to enumerate some of the most important human rights that are universally recognized: the right to life, liberty and security of person; the right to food, clothing, housing, sufficient health care, rest and leisure; the right to freedom of expression, education and culture; the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and the right to manifest one's religion either individually or in community, in public or in private…" (My emphasis.)

2 October 1979. In L'Osservatore Romano, 15 October 1979.)

CATHOLIC TRUTH:
_________________________________________________________________
"The social gospel which furnishes inspiration to the State is the Declaration of the Rights of Man, which is purely and simply the formal negation of the Rights of God."
(Bishop [later Cardinal] Pie of Poitiers during an interview with Emperor Napoleon III
of France in 1856. Quoted by Rev. Denis Fahey in The Kingship of Christ and the
Conversion of the Jewish Nation [Dublin: Regina Publications, 1953], p. 118.)
*****************
"The world has heard enough of the so-called 'rights of man.' Let it hear something of the rights of God."
(Leo XIII, Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, 1 November 1900.)
*****************
"Society had been organized in the thirteenth century and even down to the sixteenth, under the banner of Christ the King. Thus in spite of deficiencies and imperfections, man's divinization through the Life that comes from the sacred Humanity of Jesus was socially favored. Modern society, under the influence of Satan, was to be organized on the opposite principle, namely, that human nature is of itself divine, that man is God, and, therefore, subject to nobody. Accordingly, when the favorable moment had arrived, the Masonic divinization of human nature found its expression in [Robespierre's] Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789. The French Revolution ushered in the struggle for the complete organization of the world around the new divinity—Humanity. In God's plan, the whole organization of a country is meant to aid the development of the true personality of the citizens through the Mystical Body of Christ. Accordingly, the achievement of true liberty for a country means the removal of the obstacles in the organized social acceptance of the Divine Plan. Every revolution since 1789 tends, on the contrary, to the rejection of that plan, and therefore to the enthronement of man in the place of God…
"Is the Declaration of the Rights of Man, then, the work of Freemasonry? The Masons themselves have taken care not to leave us in doubt about it [Yes]…"
(Rev. Denis Fahey, The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World.
Dublin: Regina Publications, 1939. P. 23-23.)
*****************
"Why then this situation of Ecône? A situation which, let us hope, will soon be resolved for the greater good of the Church. It is that in face of the Church the citadel of Satan has built itself and today it will hope to have the victory—they are indeed close. All is organized. All is prepared to crush the Church, to make it disappear, to make the name of Our Lord disappear, to make the priesthood disappear, to make the Faith disappear. All is ready because for centuries Satan has prepared it.
"He has prepared it in his secret meetings which have given as foundation of their legislation—opposed to the legislation of the Church, opposed to the legislation of love—the celebration of the Rights of Man in 1789 and in 1948 (U.N. Declaration of the Rights of Man].
"They are identical….Their principles are principles which destroy society, which destroy man and which are a continual scandal.
"We see today the atrocious effects of this, it must be said, humanity is seen as never before…they have replaced the decalogue and Christian principles, the principles of the Church, by the [R]ights of [M]an...
"This citadel of Satan which has been raised against the citadel of God has caused, unfortunately, many Catholics to lose their faith. Many of them believed it necessary to ally themselves to the force, with powers to those who have money, and thus they have made compromises. It is these that one calls liberal Catholics, condemned by Pope Pius IX, condemned by Pope Leo XIII, condemned by Pope St. Pius X. All these Catholics who have come to terms with the enemy and those who play the game of the enemy—it is these who have penetrated in Rome and it is these who have inspired the Second Vatican Council and all of its consequences." (Emphasis in the original.)
(Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Ordination Sermon. 29 June 1979.
In The Angelus, August 1979.)
*****************
"My dear friends, we are betrayed. You—you are betrayed. All honest people are betrayed. All who believe in the Catholic Faith are betrayed. All who believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ, all who wish to defend the Faith of Our Lord, who wish to defend the fundamental truth of their Faith, in the catechism itself, who wish to defend morality, the Ten Commandments, who wish to defend Sacred Scripture itself—all these are betrayed. Betrayed by Modernist ideas. Modernism replaces the Faith by research, purely masonic ideas! ('We are all searching for the truth….We will never find it. We don't know if it exists.') We do know our Faith, and we wish to maintain it! The Ten Commandments have been replaced by the Rights of Man. What we have now is the religion of the Rights of Man, in place of the Ten Commandments. Now we know perfectly well that the Rights of Man and justice in this world exist only in virtue of the Ten Commandments. When we have done our duty to God and our neighbor, justice will prevail—but not in the fight against the authority of God, against all authority. The Rights of Man is simply the struggle against the authority of God…" (Emphasis in the original.)
