The Modernist's Had It Out For Padre Pio....
Padre Pio warned FreeMasonry was coming from the top of the Church in his own day! He even told Paul the 6th to end the Council!
He is seen here kissing the hand of Archbishop Lefebvre (founder of the SSPX) who he held in great esteem
Almost
sixty years ago, “Padre Pio first met Father Luigi Villa, whom he
entreated to devote his entire life to fight Ecclesiastical Freemasonry.
Padre Pio told Father Villa that Our Lord had designs upon him and had
chosen him to be educated and trained to fight Freemasonry within the
Church.
The Saint spelled out this task in three meetings with Father
Villa, which took place in the last fifteen years of life of Padre Pio.
At the close of the second meeting [second half of 1963], Padre Pio
embraced Father Villa three times, saying to him: ‘Be brave, now…for the
Church has already been invaded by Freemasonry!’ and then stated:
‘Freemasonry has already made it into the loafers (shoes) of the Pope!’
At the time, the reigning Pope was Paul VI.
