Los TECOS reveal: proof Sede “clergy” were sworn Masons

+Fourth Thursday in Lent+

Prayer Society Intention for April, Month of the Holy Ghost

“O Holy Ghost, Creator, mercifully assist Thy Catholic Church, and by Thy heavenly power strengthen and establish her against the assaults of all Her enemies.” (Raccolta)

Fr. Doyle’s Reflections on the Passion, Part 4

Gesthemani (cont’d):

“…Our Lord goes back a second time to pray. This time He is even more alone than before. He prays to His heavenly Father, and His heavenly Father turns a deaf ear to His petition. His Apostles are sleeping again, and yet He prays alone. He is now in a state of supreme desolation and yet He prays. He is in a state of complete dereliction but He prays on. Learn from this lesson to pray even under the most adverse circumstances.

Consider the fact that Christ persevered in His prayer. Already He prayed to His Father saying: “Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me” (Mt. 26:30).The second prayer of our Lord was a repetition of the first, for He said: “My Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, Thy will be done” (Mt.26:42).

The third prayer was couched in the same words – a prayer more fervent, more earnest then any uttered by any man who ever lived on this earth – yet His Father, it seemed, did not listen to His petition. Christ did not grow impatient, He calmly and resignedly adds: “Not My will but Thine be done” (Lk. 22:42).

What a great lesson in this for all of us! If the Son of God must plead three times for the fulfillment of His prayer, and does so without a trace of bitterness, why are we so depressed when our prayers are not immediately answered? St. Monica prayed for eighteen years for her son Augustine’s conversion, but how richly her perseverance was rewarded. “We wait a whole year,” says St. Francis de Sales, “before the seed we sow in the ground bears fruit; and are we more impatient in regard to the fruits of our prayers?”

There is great consolation for all of us in the refusal of the Father to hear the petition of His adorable son. God the Father refused the most perfect, the most precious prayer ever uttered on this earth – but he did so to prove His love for sinful man. For the sake of sinful man He will not answer the prayer of His own Son, because had God acted otherwise, we would have all been lost. See the reason behind God’s refusal to answer our prayers – He always has the greater good in view: From now on, never complain if your prayers are unanswered. Just keep right on praying. Say your rosary today for the grace of perseverance

Our consideration of the triple prayer of our Blessed Lord in the Garden of Olives should have convinced us of the merit and necessity of continued prayer when we are afraid, downcast, depressed, tempted, or forsaken.

There were numerous other occasions when Christ addressed His petitions to His eternal Father and the response was immediate. The raising of Lazarus is a case in point. In the Garden of Olives, however, the Master prayed three times and His prayer was unanswered. We have seen that had God the Father answered Christ’s prayer and “let the cup pass away” from Him, the world might not have been redeemed. When God does not answer prayer, it is for the greater good.

In the Old Testament we read that the prophet Elias, when he asked God to confound the pagan prophets of Baal by a miracle, hardly had spoken his prayer when a miraculous fire came down from heaven and consumed a holocaust set on the altar, and even burned water in the trench. When the same prophet Elias prayed for rain for God’s people, he had to repeat his prayer not once, twice, or three times, but seven times (Kings 18:44).When God refuses to answer prayer it is for a greater good. When He delays the answer, it is to put the endurance of the suppliant to a test.

The Jews in Bethulia prayed all night, desiring the help of the God of Israel when Holofernes besieged their city, but the more they prayed, the more desperate the situation appeared. Yet they persevered, and God sent them a deliverer in Judith. Another important lesson which we can learn from our Lord’s prayer in Gethsemani is this, that all our petitions to God should close with an acquiescence to the divine will. Hear our Lord say in the depths of His agony – “Not my will but thine be done” (Lk. 22:42)” — (end of Fr. Doyle quotes).

Introduction

“… His Apostles are sleeping again” (Fr. Doyle).  Even though it has been proven that LibTrad pseudo-clergy were never valid (see VAS article HERE) and that the entire Traditionalist movement was only the continuation of Masonic infiltration to seduce the remaining faithful, some continue to sleep and others stubbornly refuse to believe. A recent discovery below offers further proofs of the Masonic origins of ALL LIB-TRAD SECTS and explains why so many among these sects are anti-Semitic in their views, despite the condemnations of the Roman Pontiffs. Owing to the Nazi persecution, Popes Pius XI and Pius XII bound Catholics to refrain from hatred of the Jews for their part in Christ’s death, and by word and example taught us what our attitude toward them should be.

The CMRI pseudo-bishop Mark Pivarunas, (“consecrated” by the Mexican Thuc bishop Moises Carmona), received an official letter on March 1, 2024, confirming the Masonic origins of the priests serving Traditionalists in Mexico. This jaw-dropping revelation from one of Pivarunas own “priests” seems not to have been addressed by Pivarunas publicly, as a search of the CMRI site shows no mention of the organization, (Los TECOS), in question. While the letter does date the existence of Los TECOS to the early 1900s, it fails to mention that this sect was well known to Fr. Joaquin Saenz y Arriaga, the founder of sedevacantism, who served as chaplain for the group in the 1950s-60s. The translator of one of Arriaga’s works, The New Montinian Church, was quoted in the article HERE, describing Arriaga as a member of yet another secret society common to Traditionalists, this one better geared to the Caucasian population: the Sovereign Order of St. John, Knights of Jerusalem (OSJ).

Wikipedia says under sedevacantism: “The earliest example [of sedevacantism] is from a group of traditionalist Catholics in Mexico associated with the radical right secret society Los TECOS based in Guadalajara, in particular their spiritual director, Fr. Joaquín Sáenz y Arriaga, a Jesuit priest, the main figure associated with presenting this. In 1965, at a private meeting in the house of Anacleto González Guerrero (son of the Cristero martyr Anacleto González Flores), Los TECOS leaders proposed the motion that Paul VI (Giovanni Montini) was a crypto-Jew and an illegitimate Pope, that this line should be officially adopted as the position of Mexican traditionalists.” Arriaga also was the author of a widely quoted collaborative work enthusiastically endorsed and sold across the Internet by all manner of Traditionalist groups — The Plot Against the Church, by “Maurice Pinay.” (Anacleto González Guerrero, who corresponded with this author in the early 1980s as Anacleto Gonzalez Flores, later claimed to have written the bulk of the book for Saenz.)

This work blamed primarily the Jews as the masterminds behind the destruction of the Church, as well as the puppet-masters behind Freemasonry. Yet the extent of the influence of certain Jews and their predominance in the Masonic sect and other secret societies has not been determined by the Church. The Plot Against the Church makes no mention of the pleas by both Popes Pius XI and Pius XII to refrain from anything that would amount to the physical persecution of the Jews or lead to their persecution. In their The Hidden Encyclical of Pope Pius XI, (1998) Georges Passelecq and Bernard Suchecky wrote about Pope Pius XI’s last encyclical that was never published, Humani Generis Unitas. This encyclical, written on the eve of WWII, is best summarized below:

1. The Church upholds and defends Her right to warn Her children against those actively hostile to the Christian religion, especially, “misguided souls, whether of the Jewish people or other origin, who ally themselves with or promote” revolutionary movements aimed at the destruction of society and the Catholic Church.
2. Alternating mildness and zeal on the part of the popes over the centuries in addressing this anti-Catholic attitude does not reflect “any interior change in the Church’s policy,” which is easily found confirmed in “the conduct of bishops…and Her ecumenical councils,” AND ESPECIALLY THE CONDUCT OF THE HOLY SEE.
3. Under the specific heading “Anti-Semitism,” Pope Pius XI states: “Such persecutory methods are totally at variance with the true spirit of the Catholic Church.” Quoting a decree of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office dated March 5, 1928, the pope points to the Church’s professed love for the Jews and desire for their salvation. The decree contains a resolution on the part of the papacy to continue to protect the Jews against unjust oppression and open anti-Semitism.

Pope Pius XII later demonstrated his solicitude for the Jews by his conduct during WWII, saving countless Jews from certain death at the hands of the Nazis. With this and the above in mind, we present the following, which in and of itself should be enough to convince any rational human being that the Traditional movement was only a continuation of the penetration of secret societies into the very heart of the Church. In the late 1990s, letters written and signed by various Mexican authors were sent from Mexico to Traditionalist pseudo-clergy worldwide warning that Los TECOS pseudo-clergy were Masonic and had been form the beginning.

These letters were circulated in 2000 from the office of  Fr. Paul Schoonbroodt (1933–2012, a parish priest of Steffeshausen, Belgium), with a written introduction by his secretary Amelia Schmid. They were then forwarded to a friend who forwarded them to me. Although these letters only date back to 2000, the Masonic influence propelling the Traditionalist movement goes back to its very beginning as explained in the link in paragraph 2 above. That they were suppressed should in itself be enough to rouse the followers of LibTrad pseudo-clergy from their sinful sleep. But will it?

Please note that the letters below do not limit the Masonic contamination to the CMRI, or to the group referred to in the Los TECOS letters. In fact in the last two blogs we have seen how such individuals as the Gnostic Rama Coomeraswamy and indirectly, E. Michael Jones, have spread their heresies throughout LibTrad sects. Others, such as the former Protestant minister Gerry Matatics — in a series of interviews with ISOC founder Judith Sharpe, titled The Plot Against the Church, based partly on Saenz’s work — have played their own part in promoting the views of heretics and schismatics. Both Coomeraswamy and Matatics taught students in “Traditionalist seminaries.” One cannot help but wonder if they themselves were not affiliated with the OSJ and Los TECOS or some other unknown secret society, given their activities.

Introduction to the Secret Society, Tecos

“These four “open letters” are not bound by any law of copyright. In fact Bishop Jose F. Urbino Aznar from Merida, Yucatan, exhorts all to read these letters, to broadcast them, to send them to other countries or to translate them so that all concerned would be informed and warned!  He writes, at the end of his Letter IV, that, “IF TRADITIONALISTS DO NOTHING, THEY HELP THE TECOS TO INFILTRATE AND SABOTAGE.”

“The purpose of these pages is to war against the presence of “Marrano’s” in Traditionalist Sede-vacantists groups today. These “false brothers” are continuing the work of the Spanish Marrano’s in the 15^th Century, and 40 years after the Vatican II revolution in the Church, their aim is to infiltrate, subvert, and over-throw the last remaining bastions of Catholic Traditionalism. The “Tecos” and stemming from it… the “Trento” movements in Mexico, will be studied here but their subsidiaries in other countries have different names: i.e., “Una Voce” in Munich, Germany whose leader is Dr. Eberhard Heller, the editor of the subversive, pseudo-traditionalistic journal, “Einsicht”; and “Trident”, a Czechoslovakian “traditionalist” journal, edited by Dr. Klomineky; it is also affiliated with Tecos.

“Trento is a branch of Tecos. The rank-and-file members of Tecos would appear to be Catholics militating against Freemasonic influences; quite anti-Communist! But its leaders are very wealthy Jewish Freemasons who pretendthey’re Catholics and Mexican patriots. Since Vatican II, they even pretend to be sedevacantist Traditionalists, in order to be better accepted by the latter; alas, they are “MARRANOS”!

“Who are the Mexican Tecos leaders? They stem from two related families: Leano and Alvarez del Castillo. They rule this Secret Society but delegate their power to their subordinates, yet they exert tyrannical control. For example, Bishop Martin Davila Gandara (of the Trento Priests Union) is not free to act independently. Everything he does is controlled ‘down to the last detail’. This bishop and all Trento priests and seminarians are official members of the Tecos! This is a pre-requisite to be lavishly financed by the super-rich family — Leano Alvarex del Castillo. Unfortunately, the hundreds of millions of dollars they possess come from drug-smuggling operations, investments in very luxurious hotels and easiness, illegal confiscation of property (aided and abetted by corrupt police, easily bribed). They are also the main shareholders in the Mexican TELEVlSA TV enterprise, a springboard for Satanical programs. We unconditionally agree to the above.

Excerpts from Los TECOS letter to Pivarunas

https://archive.org/details/letter-to-bishop-pivarunas-in-english

La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, on March 1, 2024

(Prepared by “Fr.” Hernán Arturo Vergara Monroy)

1. This document is prepared at the request of Bishop Mark Antony Pivarunas, as instructed by Father Carlos Borja.
2. Due to the gravity of the matter, I request that this issue be handled with absolute discretion, asking the Lord Bishop to safeguard the document to prevent it from being stolen and disseminated, causing serious harm to the spiritual well-being of souls.
3. In this document, only a small sample of the matter is discussed…The colloquial name for the sworn organization is “Los Tecos”, but its internal title is “Legion of Anti-Communist Youths of Mexico,” for God and for the homeland,” outwardly promoting values, Catholic faith, and a life centered around God. However, in practice, their actions align with the will of a faceless supreme power, which seems to disregard God’s law.
4. The man who appears as the founder of this organization is named Carlos Cuesta Gallardo. He was born in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, on August 22, 1911. His parents were Francisco Luis Cuesta Gallardo and Maria Elena Gallardo Rojas. The family was extremely wealthy, with close relatives holding high positions in the government. Interestingly, there are Hebrew customs within this family, but there remains an absolute silence regarding their genealogy.
5. Around 1934, an organization was founded, with one of its ideologues and leaders being Father Manuel Figueroa Luna S.J. The organization operated under catalogued and mandatory methods, including oaths, blind obedience, loyalty, and secrecy. Members swore an oath in the name of God to maintain absolute silence about the organization’s existence, names, agreements, addresses, structure, and programs. They also pledged obedience to the “Army of God.” whose leader remained unknown to almost everyone. According to its main proponents, the organization’s purpose was to counter the Judaeo-Masonic-Communist conspiracy. To avoid detection, members used pseudonyms, ensuring that if internal documents were confiscated by the police, their identities would remain hidden.
6. Regularly, young people from the age of twelve are recruited and trained to align their thinking with the Organization. Based on their proselytism efforts, they can ascend to become group leaders. These young people are recruited by seemingly harmless external groups that appear beneficial to initiates. They are then admitted to a preliminary group and after undergoing preparation and testing, they ascend to the base group.
7. The concept of “pureza de sangre” (purity of blood) is something that they claim involves separating Jewish, Masonic, or anti-Christian elements.
8. MY PROPOSAL IS THAT THE PRIESTLY SOCIETY OF TRENTO SHOULD DISAPPEAR FOR HAVING BEEN BORN IN AN ANTI-CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION…
9. The banner or emblem of the organization has a double-headed eagle in the center, similar to the symbol of the 33rd degree of Freemasonry. Isn’t this enough evidence of what this organization is? Just like the two Masonic columns that are found in the presbytery of the church of San Agustin, in the little hill of Guadalajara, an emblematic church of the organization.
10. They have several oaths, I write only one consigned in the traditional liturgy: *I (name of the oath-taker) swear by God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, creator of the universe and everything that exists, swearing without mental reservations of any kind, to be loyal to God and to the Legion of Anti-Communist Youth of Mexico, never to betray or fight it and to keep absolute secrecy with strangers to said movement of its existence, of the names of the components and leaders, of the matters discussed in its meetings and of everything that relates to it. Just as I will never act within said order accepting slogans, orders or simple suggestions from people or organizations strange to this organization. I also swear by God, to consider the Legion of Anti- Communist Youth of Mexico, as the primary organization in the temporal order subordinating all my political or social activities to the supreme direction of this movement, whatever the place where I carry out my activities, if I do not do so, may the Legion of Anti-Communist Youth of Mexico punish me with the death of traitors.”
11. “KEEP ABSOLUTE SECRECY WITH STRANGERS TO THIS ASSOCIATION, OF ITS EXISTENCE, OF THE IDENTITY OF ITS LEADERS AND ITS MEMBERS. OF THE MATTERS DISCUSSED IN ITS MEETINGS AND IN GENERAL OF EVERYTHING RELATED TO IT. ONLY THOSE WHO RECEIVE ORDERS TO REVEAL IT, ISSUED BY THE SUPERIORITY THROUGH THE ORGANIZER-INSPECTOR, MAY REVEAL TO STRANGERS.” (Regulations of the organization, third title, second chapter, article 34, fraction I.)
12. “In order that there may be no room for error when it is to be determined which of these pernicious sects are subject to censures, and which are only prohibited, it is certain in the first place that they are punished with excommunication latae sententiae, the Masonic and other sects of the same kind…” Instruction of the Holy Office of May 10, 1884. DZ 1860.
13. “THOSE WHO GIVE THEIR NAME TO THE MASONIC SECT OR OTHER ASSOCIATIONS OF THE SAME KIND THAT PLOT AGAINST THE CHURCH OR AGAINST LEGITIMATE CIVIL POWERS, INCUR IPSO FACTO EXCOMMUNICATION SIMPLY RESERVED TO THE APOSTOLIC SEE.” Code of Canon Law, Canon 2335.
14. Commentary on Canon 2335: “According to an instruction from the Holy Office of May 10, 1884, all associations that require their affiliates to swear an oath of absolute secrecy and to blindly obey everything to leaders are prohibited.”
15. THEY EDUCATE AND SYSTEMATICALLY FORM A STANCE OF HATRED AGAINST JEWS FOR BEING JEWS, against Masons for being Masons; In this sense, the truth about the Jewish people must be preached, INSTRUCTING THE TRUTH THAT IS NOT TO INSTILL HATRED OR RESENTMENT, but the knowledge that prevents us from the influence of a people educated in the perversity of the Synagogue of Satan: the seriousness of this system of irrational hatred, is the following: Who can or defines who is a Jew? Well, the organization, which does not present evidence, only the definition in the manner of the Holy Office, in this way, the organization can enrage its addicts with just one order. Finally, it is one more means of manipulation… The organization that operates from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, its leaders and owners, have not explained the legality of the wealth they have, in addition to the fact that, in 1962, the Rockefeller Foundation donated a large amount of money.

(Seminary of the Sacred Hearts)

50. …The aforementioned names (Davila Gandara and Perez Gomez) were “piously” subjected to a “brainwashing” in a short time and in a sui generis or Frankenstein preparation, taken to the sacred orders with the tranquility of having the support of the organization. (On Oct. 14, 1998, a two-thirds majority of priests elected Dávila for episcopal consecration. Dávila was consecrated a bishop May 11, 1999, byPivarunasand Dolan in the Temple of the Divine Providence.)
51. The missions and churches that were established with the fathers of Manuel Lopez or the Trento priestly society, are precisely places where the organization operates, having the other places, especially the south of the country, as a second level.
52. A priest wishes to testify, about how before ordaining him, you, Bishop Pivarunas, took him before Manuel López to perform a ceremony with an oath to obey God in the person of this gentleman, an indispensable requirement for ordination.
53. All the seminarians were sent for a month to preparation for the organization, which was actually brainwashing.
54. “Strength was confused with contempt, loyalty with servility, obedience to man with disobedience to God, humility with people without the ability to think contrary to the triple authority.
55. “Let no one thinks that it is permissible for any reason to give his name to the Masonic sect, if he professes to be a Catholic and values the salvation of his soul as he should.”, (Pope Leo XIII, encyclical Humanum genus, DZ 1859).
56. “Apart from these, there are other prohibited sects that must be avoided under penalty of serious guilt, among which we must mainly count all those that require their followers by oath not to reveal the secret to anyone… (Instruction of the Holy Office of May 10, 1884; DZ 1861).

Summary

Vergaro-Monroy and Borja took a great risk in making this information available to the public and for that they should be commended. But Vergaro/Borja do not connect the dots, which go back much further than they are willing to admit — all the way back to Saenz and the founding of Traditionalism. In 1965, Fr. Gommar DePauw founded the Catholic Traditionalist Movement in Long Island, New York. In that same year, Fr. Saenz and Anacleto Gonzalez Guerrero (Flores), already both members of the Los TECOS secret society, founded the sedevacantist movement. Both Saenz and DePauw were members of the OSJ, (Sovereign Order of St. John, Knights of Jerusalem — Shickshinny branch, not Malta branch). The OSJ organization then set up its own Trad mass centers across the U.S., referred to as priories.

Lefebvre, already tagged as ordained and consecrated by a Freemason, was reportedly a member and even the head of the OSJ, both in the U.S. and France. He also is most likely connected with the scandalous “Catholic” secret society The Priory of Sion, (supposedly defunct, but this is only a smokescreen) with his seminary headquartered in Sion, France and all his branch organizations named priories. DePauw, Schuckhardt (original founder of Pivarunas’ CMRI) and other LibTrad sects also designated their various “branches” as priories. This is no coincidence; the Masonic connection is clear.

Probably the most important part of Vergano’s letter is the admission that Los TECOS (and all those infected with its perverse philosophy) “…EDUCATE AND SYSTEMATICALLY FORM A STANCE OF HATRED AGAINST JEWS FOR BEING JEWS, against Masons for being Masons; In this sense, the truth about the Jewish people must be preached, instructing the truth that is not to instill hatred or resentment…”  This certainly explains the attitude of LibTrads towards the Jews today, but there is more. According to the Wikipedia article on Los TECOS: “…they built up connections with members of the Arab League, such as the Saudis, with whom they shared a mutual opposition to Zionism and an obsession with “Jewish conspiracies”… While condemning the United Nations in their own private works as part of the “Masonic conspiracy”, they, at the same time, used UNESCO’s World University Organization to build up relations with radical right, anti-communist, anti-masonic and antisemitic forces across the world throughout the 1950s…

“[They then] funneled some of these funds into their own political activities. The biggest windfall was secured in 1962, according to Stefan Thomas Possony, who said that “… Guadalajara UAC received money from the Rockefeller, Ford and Carnegie Foundations as well as from the Agency for International Development (AID)… Between 1964 and 1974, nearly $20,000,000 worth of grants were passed through these American institutions to the UAG, controlled by Los TECOS. According to a report in the Albuquerque Journal, “they believe they are using Jewish gold to combat the Jews” (end of Wiki quote). And we wonder why our campuses are filled with pro-Palestinian sympathizers and anti-Semitism is rife; why the FBI (rightly) suspects certain Traditionalists of neo-Nazi activities and of promoting anti-Semitism.

As explained in earlier blogs, all these LibTrad groups have common roots: “The Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement or ORCM is a group of priests founded by Fr. Francis E. Fenton acting on the suggestions of Fr. Joaquin Sáenz y Arriaga, S.J., and was the U.S. organization parallel to the Mexican organization Unión Catolica Trento, founded by Fr. Saenz along with Frs. Moises Carmona and Adolfo Zamora. Fr. Fenton was a founding member of the “conservative” John Birch Society, and was on its American Opinion Speakers Bureau” (https://www.liquisearch.com/orthodox_roman_catholic_movement). The John Birch Society itself has been linked to Freemasonry HERE and HERE.

It is important to note that publication of the above documents make such matters notorious according to the 1917 Code.  In a Bull issued on Dec. 25, 1925, Pope Pius XI declared: “Those who have notoriously belonged to Masonic sects or other forbidden societies of the like should not be absolved unless they shall have made an abjuration before the confessor, done all the law requires, withdrawn from the sect and repaired the scandal as far as they can” (AAS 17-611). There can now be no absolution but certainly all the other conditions must be fulfilled. Only public withdrawal from the entire Traditional movement itself and the renunciation of any claim to orders whatsoever could satisfy Pope Pius XI’s conditions.

For 26 years the Los TECOS situation has been known to at least some Traditionalist pseudo-clergy and shamefully hidden from view. Not only are the followers of these men aiding and abetting them by allowing them to simulate the sacraments, but they are also cooperating with Freemasons — apostates. It is way past time to do penance and make amends for such egregious crimes and Lent is the ideal time to make these amends to Our Lord, whose sufferings are already so greatly intensified by our sins. If LibTrad followers really want to know who they are dealing with and what the game of their pseudo-clergy is really all about, please watch this short YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMg1Hk2DWHs

See if it doesn’t set off some alarms. What would happen if Traditionalist “priests” and “bishops” now deceiving so many were stripped of their collars and mitres, their churches, their power, their control, which in reality has never existed? Only YOU have the power to shatter the illusion.
