Lies and Fallacies of the Encyclopedia Britannica by Joseph McCabe.

Father Joseph McCabe (1867-1955), as a Franciscan monk. |
Joseph McCabe was born in Manchester, England, in 1867 and died in London in 1955. His father was from Hibernia - the Island of saints and scholars. As a very young man he was zealous of serving God, so he entered a Franciscan monastery in England. Instead of turning him into a saint . . . the Franciscans turned him into an ATHIEST!! Joseph McCabe believed that he could serve God with all his MIND. He soon found out that upon entering the monastery he had to leave his brain at the door. Imagine his shock when he found out that the motto of the monastery was: "Where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise." |
Father Joseph McCabe quit the monastery after 12 years and became one of the most prolific writers in history. Rome made an ATHEIST out of him, and most of his books denounced the Papal system and espoused ATHEISM. Of course he believed that the Papal system was "Christian" and he denounced them as anti-scientific for opposing Galileo.

As we stated there was/is no place for a young, bright, thinking person in the monastic system. Here is Father McCabe's description of a monastic library:
"Of the character of the books of a monastic library, it may be said that two-thirds of them would be dismissed with scant courtesy by the modern reader. The most valued section consists of a number of folio volumes, the more ancient and illegible the better, of the works of the fathers and medieval theologians. Few of the friars ever venture to consult them, yet they are understood to be the nucleus of the monastic library. Then comes a great wealth of ascetical literature and hagiography-" spiritual" works of intolerable dullness, and lives of the saints that bristle with the most outrageous legends. The theological and scriptural section is also well filled, and there is a good collection of volumes of sermons. There are many friaries in which the catalogue practically ends with these, but in most monasteries one finds a fair quantity of historical works, and a certain number of strictly orthodox literary and philosophical works. Science is very sparsely represented -- it is ever ill at ease in ecclesiastical establishments; apologetical and polemical works are numerous. The classics are very much neglected, for the friars have had a poor classical education, and though they are very familiar with ecclesiastical Latin, few of them could read Horace or Livy at sight; very few of them read Greek." (Life in a Modern Monastery, p. 38).
Joseph McCabe discovered that the Encyclopedia Britannica was CASTRATED!!
While doing research for his books, Joseph McCabe found out that the venerable Encyclopedia Britannica was castrated when it became the property of the Rockefeller syndicate:
"The revision of the Encyclopedia Britannica was undertaken with a view to eliminate matter which was objectionable from a Catholic point of view and to insert what was accurate and unbiased. The whole of the 28 volumes were examined, objectionable parts noted, and the reasons for their deletion or amendment given. There is every reason to hope that the new edition of the Britannica will he found very much more accurate and impartial than its predecessors."(McCabe, Lies and Fallacies of the Encyclopedia Britannica, p. 14).
Rockefeller bought the Encyclopedia Britannica
Around the year 1900, the Rockefeller owned University of Chicago bought the Encyclopedia Britannica. The university editors went to work removing all the true history of the Papacy as well as articles exposing the deadly practice of vaccination.

Last edition of the famous encyclopedia before it became the property of the Rockefeller syndicate. |
Britannica becomes "Britannica, Inc.," after its purchase by the Standard Oil Company. |
There was no 10th Edition of the Encyclopedia. Like the Titanic, it must have sunk while making the crossing of the Atlantic....The Rockefeller syndicate came out with the 11th edition around 1910.
