The provided excerpts, taken from Michael A. Hoffman II’s The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome, present a controversial thesis arguing that the Church of Rome underwent a radical and occult transformation starting in the late fifteenth century during the Renaissance. The author asserts that this shift involved the infiltration of Neoplatonic-Hermeticism, Kabbalism, and rabbinic Judaism into the papal hierarchy and its theology, leading to the corruption of core Christian dogma, notably concerning usury and morality. Furthermore, the text details the alleged use of deceit, equivocation, and mental reservation by high-ranking churchmen to maintain control and conceal this occult influence, which it contrasts with earlier Catholic and Protestant traditions. Finally, the sources suggest that contemporary “traditional” Catholic movements fail to grasp the historical depth of this betrayal, incorrectly dating the Church’s corruption only to the mid-twentieth century.
