BUTTIGLIONE OUTS HIS REPLACEMENT AS A FREEMASON
From Richard Owen's article in the Times, via a reader's heads-up:
ROCCO BUTTIGLIONE, the Catholic politician and papal adviser whose views on homosexuality and marriage cost him his job as an EU Commissioner last month, yesterday caused further controversy by claiming that his successor was a Freemason.
Signor Buttiglione congratulated Franco Frattini, the Foreign Minister, on his nomination as EU Justice Commissioner, the job for which Signor Buttiglione had been nominated by Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister.
But he went on: “I hope his hearings go well and that nobody asks him if he is a Freemason. If they do they will only be repeating the same injustice that was done to me.”
The article adds some Godiva chocolate icing to this piece of cake:
However, Mario Borghezio, a Northern League Euro MP, said that he hoped Signor Frattini was “independent of the occult powers which control Europe”.
You don't say!!
Well, perhaps that would help to explain why I found the names of Jacques Chirac and Salvador Allende in the Zenit Massoneria website. (Incidentally, there seems to be a new URL for some of the Zenit website--http://www.liberimuratori.org/.)
