The Catholic Church provides the biggest, oldest, and most experienced alternative to The Surrounding Fraud. She teaches that no matter how corrupt the society around it is, an obedient soul can be saved.
On the subject of saving souls, those in The Surrounding Fraud teach that if souls exist, all of them will go to Heaven, if there is such a place. It will explain that neither souls nor Heaven really exist, but that “We must allow weak, frightened, unenlightened people to believe in them if they choose to do so”.
As we explore The Surrounding Fraud, we see that, for all practical purposes, it is alive. Every time that some truth emerges, for instance about Africans being kidnapped and sold into lifetimes of slavery in Arabia, truth-hiders within The Surrounding Fraud literally make that information disappear into some hidden place within its being where it can be savored without being shared.
More remarkable, at the same time that the information about active slave-trading is being hidden, other living cells within The Surrounding Fraud are vociferously pretending to be concerned about “human rights”.
As it hides the evils that it does not want to be restrained, The Surrounding Fraud wants humans to believe that what it does is “good”.
Many Catholics are protected from The Surrounding Fraud by the Sacraments. When Bella Dodd left her position as a high-ranking member of the Communist Party, she wrote that some of the leading Communists, who’d properly become suspicious of her loyalty, were concerned as to whether or not she had been Baptized as a child. That is one of the oddest facts I’ve ever found, and should give great hope to all those who strive to escape The Surrounding Fraud and search for the best way to do so.
