Later life
In 1998, he made a Declaration of Faith to John Paul II, saying "obedience must serve faith".[2]
In his later autobiography however, Lazo viewed the post-Conciliar reforms as "Masonic inspired," and "aimed to destroy the Catholic Religion." Lazo also said that, apart from Satan and Freemasonry, he identified "Talmudic Judaism" as one of the "three enemies of the Catholic Church".[3][4]
