Plus their seeming victory against their main opponent through the centuries: the Catholic Church < http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2017/03/de-mattei-shedding-light-on-todays.html >. Half a millennium ago, on the last of October 1517, the Christian priest Martin Luther nailed his 95 “theses” about abuses in the Catholic Church, on the door of Wittenberg Cathedral in present-day Germany. That, said Mattei, “would set in motion the so-called Protestant Revolution and mark the end of Medieval Christendom.”Two centuries later, the Grand Lodge of London was founded on June 29, 1717. That, said Mattei, gave birth to modern freemasonry, whose liberal ideas and activist leaders directly spurred the French Revolution. On October 28 a century ago, Lenin’s communist Bolshevik Party occupied the Winter Palace, the Czar’s home in St. Petersburg.
