Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp. (3 July 1883 – 21 January 1954) was an Irish Catholic priest of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans), Professor of Philosophy and Church History at the Holy Ghost Missionary College, Kimmage, Dublin, and founder of the lay movement Maria Duce. He was educated at Rockwell College, entered the novitiate at Grignon-Orly near Paris, made his religious profession on 2 February 1907, and was ordained to the priesthood at St. John Lateran in Rome on 24 September 1910 by Cardinal Respighi. His principal original works all bear an Imprimi Potest and Imprimatur from proper ecclesiastical authority.
His eulogist, Fr. J. Aherne, C.S.Sp., wrote of him: “In his studies and research Fr. Denis had amply documented the agents, witting and unwitting, of Satan in his attack on the rights of Christ the King. Among them the most effective were the Freemasons and International Financiers; largely ethnic Jews whose philosophy of life was Naturalism or the total denial of the supernatural.” His own motto was: “The world must conform to Our Divine Lord, not He to it.”
The passages reproduced below are drawn exclusively from the seven sources listed in the Sources section at the foot of this page. They bear on the following themes of the Adversus Judaeos tradition: the Crucifixion as the national rejection of the Divine Plan and the crime of Deicide; the theological enmity between the Jewish nation as an organised body and the Mystical Body of Christ; supersessionism and the Reformation as a step toward Jewish naturalism; the Talmud, Mishnah, and Schulchan Aruch as the code of anti-supernatural formation; the opposition of Zionism and Jewish Messianism to the supernatural order; the Jewish leadership of Bolshevism; and the duty of every Catholic to pray for the conversion of Israel. All passages are in Fahey’s own English. No word has been altered.
I. Fahey’s Personal Apologia and Vocation
The Rulers of Russia, Third Edition (1940)
Loreto Publications Introduction, pp. 5–8
“When in Rome I began to realize more fully the real significance of the history of the world, as the account of the acceptance and rejection of Our Lord’s Program for Order. I used to ask permission to remain at the Confession of St. Peter, while the other scholastics went round the basilica. I spent the time there going over the history of the world, and I repeatedly promised Saint Peter that if I ever got the chance, I would teach the truth about his Master in the way he and his successors, the Roman Pontiffs, wanted it done. That is what I have striven to do and am doing.”
II. The Deicide: The Crucifixion as Rejection of the Divine Plan
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter IV: The Struggle of the Jewish Nation against the True Messias
“Some Catholics seem to forget that the Jews who, in their terrible opposition to God, were plotting the death of our Saviour were so ‘pious’ and ‘God-fearing’ and ‘good’ that they would not go into the hall of Pilate’s palace, ‘that they might not be defiled but that they might eat the pasch.’ (St. John XVIII, 28). Pilate had to yield to their scruples and go out to them, yet alas! they were intent on the most awful crime ever committed, the crime of deicide.”
“God came on earth in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ and put before the Jewish nation, from which He had taken His sacred humanity, the divine programme for the ordered organisation of the world, asking them at the same time to be its heralds. The crucifixion of our Lord was the rejection by the Jewish nation of God’s programme for order. They refused to accept that there was any life higher than their national life and they would not hear of the non-Jewish nations coming in as members of the messianic kingdom, on the same level as themselves.”
“It is at one and the same time the rejection of the supernatural Messias with His programme, which is summed up in the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, and the proclamation of a programme to be accomplished by the natural messias to come. In the Mystical Body of Christ all nations are on equal footing, each nation aiming at the temporal prosperity of its subjects so as not only not to hinder but to favour their attaining their supernatural end — union with the Blessed Trinity in supernatural life. The natural messias to whom the Jews look forward is to bring happiness to the world by the imposition of Jewish domination. It cannot be otherwise, given their messianic aspirations. Our Lord asked them to be the heralds of a supranational kingdom. Their refusal meant that they elected instead to impose their national form on the world, and they have put all their intense energy and tenacity into the struggle for the organisation of the future messianic age.”
III. The Theological Enmity between the Jewish Nation and the Mystical Body
The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World (1939)
Foreword
“The same forces that resisted and persecuted our Lord Jesus Christ during His Life on earth resist and persecute Him down the ages in His Mystical Body.”
“He [Satan] induced the Jews to reject the Supernatural Messias and keeps them, as a nation, looking forward to the mirage of a natural Messias triumphant in the world’s way in opposition to order. He inveigles men into secret societies by the hope of a science that will gratify their pride and by the promise of the kingdoms of this world and their glory.”
“His Spirit of Charity is especially necessary when speaking of the continued opposition of the members of His own nation to Him. We must never forget that their opposition inflicts special suffering on His Sacred Heart and that He is ever seeking to draw the Jewish nation away from the superficial things of this world to reality and truth.”
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter IV: The Struggle of the Jewish Nation against the True Messias
“The Jewish nation in an organised entity opposed to the treatment of our fellow human beings as members of Christ. We must, therefore, combat their naturalism.”
The Kingship of Christ and Organised Naturalism (1943)
Chapter I: Satan’s Plans — First Point
“Satan also spreads perplexity and disorder in minds by introducing confusion between Anti-Semitism, which is the detestable hatred of the Jews as a race, and the duty incumbent upon Catholics of combating valiantly for the integral rights of Christ the King and opposing Jewish Naturalism.”
(Fahey quotes and endorses the Jewish writer Bernard Lazare, L’Antisémitisme*, p. 361, as documentary confirmation of his thesis:)*
“‘The Jew is the living testimony of the disappearance of the State based on theological principles, that State which the Anti-Semites hope to restore. From the day a Jew first occupied a public position, the Christian State was in danger. That is perfectly accurate and the Anti-Semites who say that the Jews have destroyed the correct idea of the State could more justly assert that the entrance of the Jews into Christian Society has symbolized the destruction of the State, I mean, of course, the Christian State.'”
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Foreword (Feast of the Sacred Heart, 20 June 1952)
“The Hitlerite naturalistic or anti-supernatural régime in Germany gave to the world the odious spectacle of a display of Anti-Semitism, that is, of hatred of the Jewish Nation. Yet all the propaganda about that display of Anti-Semitism should not have made Catholics forget the existence of age-long Jewish Naturalism or Anti-Supernaturalism. Forgetfulness of the disorder of Jewish Naturalistic opposition to Christ the King is keeping Catholics blind to the danger that is arising from the clever extension of the term ‘Anti-Semitism,’ with all its war-connotation in the minds of the unthinking, to include any form of opposition to the Jewish Nation’s naturalistic aims. For the leaders of the Jewish Nation, to stand for the rights of Christ the King is logically to be ‘anti-Semitic.'”
“A day will come when the Jewish Nation will cease to oppose order and will turn in sorrow and repentance to Him Whom they rejected before Pilate. That will be a glorious triumph for the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother. Until that day dawns, however, their naturalistic opposition to the True Supernatural Order of the world must be exposed and combated.”
IV. Supersessionism: The Reformation as a Step toward Jewish Naturalism
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter III: An Outline of the Theology of History
“The so-called Reformation saw this claim of the Mystical Body of Christ denied by a large part of what was once Catholic Europe. This meant rejecting the order set up by our Lord Jesus Christ while attempting to retain belief in His divinity. From the Jewish point of view, it was a big step in advance, for it meant the abolition of the supremacy of the supranational Mystical Body of Christ over a number of states. The state, in each country which embraced Protestantism, took the place of the Mystical Body of Christ. Thus a purely natural entity arrogated to itself divine functions, by organising its particular form of religion, composed of a mixture of natural and supernatural elements, as a state department.”
The Kingship of Christ and Organised Naturalism (1943)
Chapter I: Satan’s Plans — First Point
“The granting of full citizenship to the Jews, who, as a nation, are engaged in preparing for the natural Messias, tends in the same direction [as putting all religions on the same level as the Catholic Church]. This putting of all religions on the same level is usually called in the newspapers separation of Church and State.”
V. The Talmud: Formation of Anti-Supernatural Enmity
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter VII: The Talmudic Formation and the Conversion of the Jews
“The Talmudic formation, then, is responsible for the attitude of the Jewish nation to other nations which leads to the quite special friction they provoke.”
(Fahey quotes Mgr. Landrieux, Bishop of Dijon, L’Histoire et les Histoires dans la Bible*, as documentary testimony of what the Talmud teaches:)*
“‘It is a systematic deformation of the Bible . . . The pride of race with the idea of universal domination is therein exalted to the height of folly . . . For the Talmudist, the Jewish race alone constitutes humanity, the non-Jews are not human beings. They are of a purely animal nature. They have no rights. The moral laws which regulate the mutual relations of men, the Ten Commandments, are not of obligation in their regard. They oblige exclusively between Jews. With regard to the Goim (non-Jews) everything is allowed: robbery, fraud, perjury, murder. When the Talmud became known, especially in the sixteenth century thanks to the invention of printing, such indignation was aroused throughout the Catholic world that a Jewish General Assembly in 1631 gave orders that the most obnoxious passages should not be printed, but added that, “a little circle, O, should be put in the place of the suppressed passages. This will warn the Rabbins and the school-teachers that they are to teach these passages orally so that the learned among the Nazarenes (Christians) may no longer have any pretext for attacking us in this regard.” In our day the Talmud does not provoke either astonishment or anger amongst Catholics, because it is no longer known.'”
(Fahey quotes the ex-Rabbin Drach — honoured by Popes Leo XII, Pius VIII and Gregory XVI — on the contents of the Talmud:)
“‘Talmud (more correctly Thalmud) . . . is a Hebrew word used by the Rabbins to signify “doctrine” or “teaching.” It designates more particularly the great body of doctrine of the Jews, to which the greatest doctors in Israel have successively contributed at different epochs. It is the complete civil and religious code of the synagogue . . . The judicious reader of the Talmud is often saddened by the presence of many of those strange aberrations into which the human mind falls when bereft of the true faith, and very frequently the baseness of rabbinical cynicism makes him blush for shame. The Christian also is horrified by the insane and atrocious calumnies which the impious hatred of the Pharisees hurls at everything he holds sacred.'”
“‘In the Ghemara, there are at least a hundred passages which are insulting for the memory of Our Adorable Saviour, the more than angelic purity of His holy Mother, the Immaculate Queen of heaven, as well as the moral character of Christians, whom the Talmud represents as practising the most abominable vices. There are also passages which declare that the precepts of justice, equity and charity towards one’s neighbour do not bind where Christians are concerned; nay more, they even go so far as to condemn as guilty of crime anyone who observes these precepts in his relations with his Christian neighbours. The Talmud expressly forbids a Jew to save a non-Jew from death or to restore to him his lost possessions, etc., or to take pity on him. The Rabbins declare also: “Since the life of an idolater is at the discretion of the Jew, a fortiori his goods.”‘”
(Fahey cites the Jewish Encyclopædia*, vol. 12, and* The Jewish Chronicle of London in his own authorial voice:)
“Do the Jews still continue to receive this Talmudic formation? In the Jewish Encyclopædia, Vol. 12, we read: ‘For the majority of Jews, it (The Talmud) is still the supreme authority in religion.'”
“The issue of that paper [The Jewish Chronicle] of September 3, 1937, contained a paragraph about a flag day for the 3,000 children attending London Talmud Torahs. Again, in the same volume of the Jewish Encyclopædia we find that the Schulchan Aruk of Joseph Caro owed ‘its authority to the fact that it was recognised as the most convenient codification of the teachings of the Talmud,’ And in the Jewish Chronicle, we read that at a meeting of the Council of the union of orthodox Hebrew Congregations in London on January 30, 1938, ‘Rabbi Dr. Schonfeld welcomed the new President into office, and Mr. Stern, in returning thanks for his election, said amid applause that his guide would always be the Schulchan Aruk.'”
Waters Flowing Eastward — edited and revised by Rev. Denis Fahey (4th edition, 1953)
Part One, Chapter II: The Jewish Community — Its Spirit and Organisation
(Fahey edits and endorses the following documentary passages on the Schulchan Aruch:)
“‘When a Jew has a gentile in his clutches, another Jew may go to the same gentile, lend him money and in his turn deceive him, so that the gentile shall be ruined. For the property of a gentile (according to our law) belongs to no one, and the first Jew that passes has the full right to seize it.'”
“‘Although it is not a direct obligation for a Jew to kill a gentile with whom he lives in peace, yet, in no case, is he allowed to save a gentile’s life.'”
“‘It is always a meritorious deed to get hold of a gentile’s possessions.'”
(The text of Asher Ginzberg, as reproduced in the Fahey-edited edition, on the Shulchan Aruk as the authentic code of the Jewish people:)
“‘The Shulchan Aruk is not the book that we have chosen for our guide, but the book that has been made our guide, whether we would or not, by force of historical development: because this book, just as it is in its present form, with all its most uncouth sections, was the book that best suited the spirit of our people, their condition and their needs, in those generations in which they accepted it as binding on themselves and their descendants. If we proclaim that this is not our law, we shall be proclaiming a falsehood; this is our law, couched in the only form which was possible in the middle ages, just as the Talmud is our law in the form which it took in the last days of the ancient world, just as the Bible is our law in the form which it took while the Jews still lived as a nation on their own land. The three books are but three milestones on the road of a single development, that of the spirit of the Jewish nation.'”
VI. The Talmud and the Suppression of Messianic Prophecy
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter VII: The Talmud and Jewish Messianism
“The Talmudic formation renders the conversion of the Jews in great numbers almost morally impossible. In spite of it, it is true, individual Jews do surrender to the loving Heart of the True Messias, but anyone who realises how strongly the human heart is gripped by the associations of childhood will not be astonished at the relatively small number of those who find their way home to their Father’s house.”
“The Rabbins had recourse to both open and secret measures, in order to prevent discussions concerning the coming of the Messiah. The open or public measures were anathemas and curses hurled at those who looked for the Messiah. ‘Cursed be those who calculate the times of the Messiah!’ says the Talmud of Babylon. ‘May hell swallow them in its depths!’ says Rabbi Abarbanel. ‘May their hearts break and their calculations vanish!’ says Rabbi Maimonides.”
“The secret measures were the changes made in the Messianic prophecies in the Bible. This was done in two ways. The first was to alter the wording of certain prophecies. As the Hebrew tongue and its written characters are very delicate and as the language of the Bible had become the exclusive apanage of the Rabbins, they were able to alter certain texts without awakening the suspicions of the people.”
“‘Our Doctors understand this psalm of the Messiah,’ writes Rabbi Jerchi; ‘but on account of the Christians who profit by this in sinister fashion, it is expedient to refer it to David.’ The two most embarrassing of the prophecies, namely, Psalm 22, and Isaias, Chapter LIII, in which there is question of the sufferings of the Messiah, are made to refer to the Jewish people.”
(The Fathers Lémann, as quoted and endorsed by Fahey:)
“‘Since this leaden book presses down on Israel, there is no longer question of the Messias amongst the Jews . . . The Bible was too clear, the seventy weeks of Daniel were too clear; the twenty-second Psalm of David was too clear; the fifty-third Chapter of Isaias was too clear. Your Rabbins, O Israelites, have extinguished all these lights with the Talmud.'”
“‘The sages, blessed be their memory!’ writes Maimonides, ‘have forbidden all calculation with regard to the time of his coming, because the people are scandalised at seeing that he does not come, though the times are past.'”
VII. Zionism and the Programme of Jewish World Domination
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter VII: The Talmud and Jewish Messianism
(Fahey quotes and endorses Baruch Levy’s letter to Karl Marx, published in the Revue de Paris*, 1 June 1928:)*
“‘The Jewish people taken collectively shall be its own Messias. Their rule over the universe shall be obtained by welding together the other races, thanks to the suppression of frontiers and monarchies, which form the bulwark of national peculiarities. Thus shall be established a Universal Republic . . . In this new organisation of humanity, the sons of Israel, now scattered over the whole surface of the globe . . . shall everywhere become the ruling element without opposition. This will be especially easy if they succeed in imposing on the masses of the working classes the guidance of some of their number. The governments of the nations forming the Universal or World Republic shall all thus pass, without any effort, into Jewish hands, thanks to the victory of the proletariat. Private property can then be suppressed by the Jewish rulers who will be in charge of public affairs everywhere. Thus shall the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, that, when the Messianic epoch shall have arrived, the Jews will control the wealth of all the nations of the earth.'”
(Fahey quotes the ex-Rabbin Drach on the messianic ideal of the modern synagogue:)
“‘The Messiah, whose coming the Jews obstinately expect, in spite of the fact that he on his side obstinately refuses to appear, is to be a great conqueror who will reduce all the nations of the world to the condition of slaves of the Jews. The latter are destined to return to the Holy Land in triumph, laden with the riches taken from the non-Jews. Jerusalem is to have a new temple.'”
(Fahey’s own authorial conclusion, citing The Jewish World of 9 February 1883:)
“That same ideal had been already set forth in more outspoken language by The Jewish World of February, 9, 1883: ‘The great ideal of Judaism is . . . that the whole world shall be imbued with Jewish teaching, and that in a Universal Brotherhood of Nations — a greater Judaism in fact — all the separate races and religions shall disappear.'”
“The Declaration of Independence of the Zionist State, issued on the day it was proclaimed, contains no mention of God . . . ‘Zion without God has become Israel without God.’ It is an ominous portent. The triumph of Marxism is doing its deadly work of corrosion and perversion.”
“Thus the Zionist ideal is completely opposed to that of Abraham and the Patriarchs. ‘The just of the Old Law,’ writes the ex-Rabbin Drach, ‘did not attribute to the Messiah they expected, as does the modern synagogue, the mission of restoring our nation to Palestine, and bestowing upon it glory and the goods of this world, but that of winning our spiritual salvation, as in point of fact our Lord Jesus Christ has done.'”
Waters Flowing Eastward — edited and revised by Rev. Denis Fahey (4th edition, 1953)
Part One, Chapter III: New Links between Communities
(From the Fahey-edited text on the founding programme of Zionism:)
“Another active nationalist, Nathan Birnbaum of Vienna, organized the Jewish students into a body called the kadimah. Its aim was to establish a Jewish centre in Palestine which should rule the world in the three spheres of politics, economics, and religion, through the medium of Jews at the control of affairs in every nation.”
Waters Flowing Eastward — edited and revised by Rev. Denis Fahey (4th edition, 1953)
Part One, Chapter IV: Ginzberg the Interpreter of Jewish Aims
(On the Protocols, as presented in the Fahey-edited text:)
“It was to this small group that Ginzberg read what is today known as ‘the protocols,’ in which the national aim is set forth in such direct, forceful language . . . The Protocols are sometimes criticized as containing nothing that had not been said previously by philosophers or statesmen; but even if that were true, it would detract little from their interest. For their importance does not lie in the aim, world domination, nor in the theory by which it is attained, exploitation of man’s baser instincts, but in the extraordinary astuteness with which the practical application of the plan has been suited to existing conditions.”
VIII. Jewish Leadership of Bolshevism
The Rulers of Russia, Third Edition (1940)
The Rulers of Russia, p. 27
“In this pamphlet I present to my readers a number of serious documents which go to show that the real forces behind Bolshevism in Russia are Jewish forces, and that Bolshevism is really an instrument in the hands of the Jews for the establishment of their future Messianic kingdom. Since Bolshevism, on its own confession, does not intend to remain within the narrow limits of any one country, but ambitions a worldwide influence or empire, the importance of this documentation is manifest. It is certain that many Catholics are ignorant of these facts and of their implications. When one realizes that Communism is an instrument intended to prepare for the coming of the natural Messias, one can understand the intensity of the hatred of Communists against the Mass and against priests, as well as the malignity of the propaganda in every country against the religious orders of the Catholic Church.”
“Mr. Hilaire Belloc writes (G. K.’s Weekly, February 4th, 1937): ‘As for anyone who does not know that the present revolutionary Bolshevist movement is Jewish in Russia, I can only say that he must be a man who is taken in by the suppressions of our deplorable press.'”
(Fahey quotes the report of Mr. Oudendyke, the Netherlands government’s representative at St. Petersburg, forwarded to the British Foreign Office 18 September 1918, published as a British White Paper in April 1919:)
“‘The danger is now so great that I feel it my duty to call the attention of the British and all other governments to the fact that, if an end is not put to Bolshevism at once, the civilization of the whole world will be threatened. This is not an exaggeration, but a sober matter of fact . . . I consider that the immediate suppression of Bolshevism is the greatest issue now before the world, not even excluding the war which is still raging, and unless, as above stated, Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole world, as it is organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things.'”
(Fahey quotes Robert Wilton, Les Derniers Jours des Romanof, pp. 136–137, giving the composition of the Soviet governing bodies in 1918–1919:)
“‘The 62 members of the Committee were composed of 5 Russians, 1 Ukrainian, 6 Letts, 2 Germans, 1 Czech, 2 Armenians, 3 Georgians, 1 Karaim (Jewish sect), 41 Jews. The Extraordinary Commission of Moscow was composed of 36 members, including 1 German, 1 Pole, 1 Armenian, 2 Russians, 8 Letts, and 23 Jews. The Council of the People’s Commissars numbered 2 Armenians, 3 Russians, 17 Jews. According to the data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik state, including the above-mentioned, there were in 1918–1919, 17 Russians, 2 Ukrainians, 11 Armenians, 35 Letts, 15 Germans, 1 Hungarian, 10 Georgians, 3 Poles, 3 Finns, 1 Czech, 1 Karaim, 457 Jews.'”
“‘If the reader is astonished to find the Jewish hand everywhere in the affair of the assassination of the Russian Imperial Family, he must bear in mind the formidable numerical preponderance of Jews in the Soviet administration.'”
(Fahey then quotes Robert Wilton’s own conclusion from The Last Days of the Romanovs*:)*
“‘The Jewish domination in Russia is supported by certain Russians . . . they (the Jews), having wrecked and plundered Russia by appealing to the ignorance of the working folk, are now using their dupes to set up a new tyranny worse than any the world has known.'”
(Fahey quotes Sir Paul Dukes, Red Dusk and the Morrow, p. 303:)
“In Red Dusk and the Morrow (page 303), by Sir Paul Dukes, formerly Chief of the British Secret Service in Russia, we read that a Lithuanian asked a prominent Bolshevik how the regime was maintained. The answer was: ‘Our power is based on three things: first, on Jewish brains; secondly, on Lettish and Chinese bayonets; and thirdly, on the crass stupidity of the Russian people.'”
The Rulers of Russia, Third Edition (1940)
Foreword to the Third Edition, pp. 9–18
(Fahey quotes Count de St. Aulaire, Genève contre la Paix, pp. 83–92, on the “lecture” of a Jewish banker of New York at Budapest in 1919:)
“In reply to the question how it was possible for high finance to favor Bolshevism, which is hostile to property, movable and immovable, the Jewish banker began by explaining that those who are astonished at the alliance between Israel and the Soviets forget that the Jewish nation is the most intensely national of all peoples and that Marxism is simply one of the weapons of Jewish nationalism. Capitalism, he added, is equally sacred to Israel, which makes use of both Bolshevism and Capitalism to remold the world for its ends. The process of renovation of the world is thus carried on from above by Jewish control of the riches of the world and from below by Jewish guidance of revolution. Israel has a divine mission, in fact Israel, become its own Messiah, is God. Israel is purifying the idea of God and at the same time preparing the way for the definitive triumph of the chosen race.”
“The Count courteously replied that he had not [taken note of the banker’s name], but he added that, ‘the “lecture” being the expression of the mentality not of an individual but of a group, every Jewish banker of New York would have said exactly the same in a moment of sincerity.'”
“In this pamphlet, I have outlined some of the historical evidence which goes to prove that those ‘strangers to the real interests of Russia,’ who are experimenting with this Marxian plan elaborated years ago, are members of the Jewish nation, and that Communism is the latest and, up to the present, the most decadent materialistic phase of the opposition of that nation to the supernatural Messias.”
IX. Marxism as Jewish Messianism
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter VII: The Talmud and Jewish Messianism
“Marx was a revolutionary and no ordinary one, for he combined Jewish messianism with the pantheistic philosophy of Hegel. ‘This descendant of a line of Rabbins and doctors,’ writes the Jewish historian, B. Lazare, ‘inherited all the logical vigour of his ancestors. He was a clear and lucid Talmudist . . . a Talmudist who studied sociology and applied his natural aptitudes for exegesis to the criticism of Political Economy. He was full of that old Hebrew materialism which ever dreams of a paradise on earth and always rejects the far distant and problematical hope of a garden of Eden after death.'”
“The well organised naturalism of the Jewish nation, guiding Masonic naturalism and collaborating with it, has successfully worked for the elimination of the rule of Christ the King.”
X. On the Protocols and the Prearranged Plan
The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World (1939)
Foreword
“No use has been made in this work of the famous Protocols of the Sages of Zion, first published by Sergius Nilus in Russia in 1901–1902 . . . What must be kept clearly in mind and emphasized, throughout any discussion concerning the Protocols, is the very grave fact that the programme outlined in them is being fulfilled.”
“I have not utilized the Protocols while studying the growth of opposition to our Lord Jesus Christ in the modern world. From the Encyclicals of the Popes and the teaching of St. Thomas, I have endeavoured to show that men must take sides for or against the Supernatural Messias and that, if they do not accept Him fully, they are drawn into the army that is working, consciously or unconsciously, to prepare the advent of the natural Messias. They thus inevitably come under the leadership of the Jews, who wield such enormous power in the modern world through the subjection of man to production and of production to finance.”
The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World (1939)
Foreword to the Second Edition
(Fahey on Maurice Joly and his connection to Jewish revolutionary circles:)
“Maurice Joly was connected with revolutionary secret societies especially through his friend, the revolutionary Jew, Adolphe Isaac Cremieux. The author or authors of the Protocols must have had access to a more up-to-date version, because several of the more amazing prophecies of the Protocols, which time has realised, are not to be found in Joly’s work. It is a pity that Catholics are so easily stampeded by interested propaganda.”
(Pope Leo XIII’s warning from his Apostolic Letter of 19 March 1902, quoted and endorsed by Fahey:)
“‘For the simultaneousness of the assaults in the persecutions which have so suddenly burst upon us in these later times, like a storm from a clear sky, that is to say, without any cause proportionate to the effect; the uniformity of means employed to inaugurate this persecution, namely, the press, public assemblies, theatrical productions; the employment in every country of the same arms, to wit, calumny and public uprisings, all this betrays clearly the identity of purpose and a programme drawn up by one and the same central direction. All this is only a simple episode of a prearranged plan carried out on a constantly widening field to multiply the ruins of which we speak.'”
XI. On the Certainty of Israel’s Future Conversion
The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation (1953)
Chapter VII: Certitude of the Conversion of the Jewish Nation
“‘There is a well known tradition cherished by the faithful,’ writes St. Augustine, ‘that, in the last days before the judgement, the great and admirable Prophet Elias is to explain the law to the Jews and to lead them to the acceptance of the True Messias, Our Christ.'”
(As quoted and endorsed by Fahey.)
(St. Paul, Romans XI, 25–29, cited verbatim by Fahey:)
“‘For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery . . . that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in. And so all Israel should be saved . . . As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake; but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers. For the gift and the calling of God are without repentance.'”
(Fahey’s own summary, in his authorial voice:)
“In spite, however, of this complete change to materialistic naturalism, the Jewish nation is destined one day to return to the true supernatural ideal held up before it by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for ‘they are most dear for the sake of the fathers,’ and of them ‘is Christ according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever, Amen.'”
(The prayer for the conversion of Israel personally endorsed by Fahey in the Foreword to the Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World, attributed to the Section Israel of the Archconfraternity of Prayer and Penance at Montmartre, Paris, the latter part approved by Pope Pius XI:)
“‘Divine Heart of Jesus, we offer Thee all our poor actions to obtain that all hearts, in particular those of the children of Israel, may recognize Thy Sacred Royalty, and that thus, the reign of Thy peace may be established throughout the entire world. O Christ Jesus, turn Thine eyes of mercy towards the children of that race, once Thy chosen people. Of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Saviour; may it now descend upon them a laver of redemption and of life.'”
