(Rome) When Pope Francis recently visited the Shroud of Turin, he also paid a visit on June 21st to the Great Mother House of the Salesian order in Valdocco. In the Basilica of Maria Auxiliatrix the parent company a meeting took place between the Pope and the Salesians to commemorate on 2015 the 200th year of the birth of its founder, St. John Bosco, who is buried in the basilica. That same evening a meeting followed with the youth on the central Piazza Vittorio in Turin. What the Pope said has not found its way into the mainstream media. He spoke namely about "Masonic, hardcore anticlericals and Satanists".
Pope Francis also spoke to the youth about the epoch in which the holy Founder lived. Upon that the head of Catholic Church, explained that at the end of the 19th century Turin was a center of Freemasonry and Satanism. The Pope said:
"In this country in the late 19th century were the worst conditions for growing youth: this part of Italy was full of Masons, even the Church could not do anything, it was full of diehard anti-clericals and even Satanists. That was one of the ugliest moments in the history of Italy." A clear reference to the esoteric network of Freemasonry.
However, this dark chapter of history said the Pope presented a surprisingly large number of saints who appeared at the same time in Turin and Piedmont. (more...)
