Freemasonry II: Its Character and Purpose

Dublin: Catholic Truth Society of Ireland, 1947. The second of two pamphlets written by the Irish Jesuit priest Edward Cahill circa 1934 on the dangers of Freemasonry, which Cahill characterizes as the "child of darkness." Cahill describes Masonry's anti-Christian essence, its organizational structure, its social and political policy, and its use of the Jew-controlled press and cinema to disseminate its satanic principles and ideals. Cahill founded An Ríoghacht, the League of the Kingship of Christ to advocate for Catholic social teaching within the Irish free state. It was the predecessor to Fr. Denis Fahey's Maria Duce organization.
