"The P2 Lodge, until its dissolution in 1982 due to the Anselmi-Spadolini law, was a regular lodge of the Grand Orient of Italy, as attested by extensive documentation that passed between the grand masters Gamberini, Salvini and Battelli on the one hand and Licio Gelli on the other."

"If the Church still has a glimmer of rationality, it must elect Pope Peter Parolin. It is the only way to restore its authority."

"The situation of the Grand Regular Lodge of Italy, as stated in the report of the Anti-Mafia Commission, is the one that, in relation to the GOI, is the most polluted by mafia and 'ndrangheta infiltration. The Grand Regular Lodge of Italy, which was the flagship of Italian and English Freemasonry, has been reduced to ashes by Fabio Venzi. I ask myself: how can the United Grand Lodge of England continue to recognise it as the only Masonic Obedience on Italian soil? What is Venzi waiting for to resign? [...] If Venzi were to resign, perhaps someone else could restore a modicum of dignity to what I consider my Masonic creature."

"Ettore Loizzo, engineer of Cosenza, my deputy in the Goi, a person who for me was the highest representative of the Goi, during a meeting of the Council of the Grand Orient of Italy (a sort of Board of Directors of the Goi in which my successor Gustavo Raffi, current Grand Master of the Goi, was also present) that I urgently called in 1993 after the beginning of the investigation of Dr. Cordova on Freemasonry, said that he could state with certainty that in Calabria, out of 32 lodges, 28 were controlled by the 'ndrangheta. [Agostino] Cordova on Freemasonry, at my precise request, he said that he could state with certainty that in Calabria, out of 32 lodges, 28 were controlled by the 'ndrangheta. I jumped up in my chair. I immediately said to him: and what do you want to do in the face of this disaster? He replied: nothing. Even more astonished, I asked him why. He replied that he could do nothing because otherwise he and his family would risk serious reprisals."

"I created a new Obedience, simply to restore a traditional type of Freemasonry to Italy, and the traditional type of Freemasonry is English Freemasonry. In fact, I transposed from English Freemasonry Constitutions, Regulations and Rituals."

"His vision and mine are very similar. We both believe that in the future of humanity, ideological, religious and political differentiations will disappear. For me it will be a communion of the enlightened, presided over by the 'enlightened tyrant', for Casaleggio it will be the network that will lead [umanity. I am not aware that Casaleggio belongs to Masonry. Grillo addresses the masses; Casaleggio, on the other hand, speaks to an élite with his message. I hadn't voted for 15 years, but I went back to it and gave my preference to the Five Star Movement. And many of the people I know who share my worldview did the same. The important thing is that Casaleggio does not get corrupted, that he does not accept compromise with other political forces. Renewal must be radical"

"That of the Great Architect is a heretical idea that originated in Enlightenment modernity. It lurks in the ancient Arian heresy: Arius does not recognise the divinity of Jesus the Saviour because he sees him only as the 'Greek demiurge' who moulds formless matter. The Council of Nicaea affirms the Christian truth: Jesus is God from God, light from light, true God from true God. The Great Architect knows nothing of the Christian God who is, from eternity, pro-existence, pro-affection, Love. Incarnate presence in the life of man, it makes the believer inhabited by the Holy Spirit and the Catholic Church sacramental...The Masonic brotherhood is abysmally different from the Christian-Catholic one, because the experience of the world (affections, feelings, emotions) of a Catholic is founded on the faith of the Christian hope of the God of Jesus Christ who saves us in death: "you will never die", this is the proclamation."

"(About the Marian title of Co-Redemptrix) The analogy by similarity instinctively (i.e., without critical scrutiny) leads to the emergence of “salvific parallelism.” The document, with surgical precision, dismantles the title not because Mary does not cooperate, but because the term constructs a misleading image. The analogy by similarity works as follows: a. it isolates a point of contact (both Christ and Mary suffered for our salvation. Both were associated with the redemptive event); b. it extends the similarity (if Christ is the Redeemer, and Mary is similar to Him in this work, then she can be called “Co-Redemptrix”); c. it minimizes the dissimilarity (in this process, the abysmal difference—Christ acts as God and Man, the primary and autonomous source of grace; Mary acts as a creature, redeemed and transformed, a derivative and subordinate channel —is flattened. The dissimilarity becomes an appendix, a footnote)."

"I believe that the future of humanity, which sees the realisation of the global society, must be governed by a community of wise men who express the One, the enlightened tyrant."

"There is a conventional Catholicism that would do well to come to terms with Benedict XVI's statement in Regensburg: to act with violence is against the nature of God and the human soul. And Pope Francis always insists that to act with violence in the name of God is satanic."

"The story of Hypatia has greatly affected the collective imagination, even outside the circle of experts. She is a scientist who is killed also because a woman who was not in her place, had a public life, spoke in public and took public positions. We must never be sure that the development of science is unstoppable. Blindly trusting in the inevitability of the need that technological development has for scientific development can be a tragic mistake. The Romans preserved Greek technology without much concern for Greek science, and the Christian fanatics led by Bishop Cyril of Alexandria calmly tore Hypatia to pieces without caring at all about the long-term consequences, rather rejoicing in the disappearance of profane knowledge considered useless, if not harmful."

"As quoted in Laura Martellini, The Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi and feminicides: «The mathematics of the fifth century Hypatia victim of a patriarchal mentality that still survives today" (28 November 2023)"

"The existence of God cannot be used as any scientific hypothesis: it is something different that transcends science. [...] I would be a terrible theologian if I tried to do an experiment to prove the existence of God, and a terrible scientist if I tried to explain my experimental data by hypothesizing the existence of God. [...] I'm always annoyed when people ask me about my religious opinions in interviews. I don't think they ever ask that of footballers, singers, models, categories for which I have the utmost respect. Interviewers implicitly assume that scientists possess privileged knowledge of God, but this is not true."
