*The real face of Socialism is revealing itself in France. The Socialists in France take aim at the SSPX, claim that traditionalists are suffering from a "religious pathology". Of course, they lump traditional Catholics with radical Islamists, but curiously the Socialists are becoming so bold as to include "utra-Orthodox" Jews. What's next, Brown Shirts? I've been told that one of Hollande's primary concerns is silencing traditional Catholics in France, and its a many pronged attack. There are many forces in Europe, even from inside the Church, itching to re-open the concentration camps for the traditionalists.

*The United States of America... bringing hell to earth? What are the connections that intertwine our present culture of death with these horrors? Is it hard wired to evolve from the Revolutionary madness that gave birth to the United States?
God help us all.

ReplyDeleteFather Malachi Martin "relates" that the Vatican-Moscow pact of 1962 was "merely a renewal of an earlier agreement between the Holy See and Moscow" on the occasion of conversations that took place in 1942 in the pontificate of Pius XII. He writes,
"It was in that year that Vatican Monsignor Giovanni Battista Montini, who himself later succeeded to the Papacy as Paul VI, talked directly with Joseph Stalin’s representative. Those talks were aimed at dimming Pius XII’s constant fulminations against the Soviet dictator and Marxism...

Dear Mr. Werling. I don't know what you are so upset about.
ReplyDeleteBefore he was elected Pope - and before he had a Twitter Account - Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger confessed we (The Catholic Church) had made our peace with the Triumphant French Revolution;
Let us content ourselves here with stating that the text [of Gaudium et spes] plays the role of a counter-Syllabus to the measure that it represents an attempt to officially reconcile the Church with the world as it had become after 1789. On one hand, this visualization alone clarifies the ghetto complex that we mentioned before. On the other hand, it permits us to understand the meaning of this new relationship between the Church and the Modern World. "World" is understood here, at depth, as the spirit of modern times. The consciousness of being a detached group that existed in the Church viewed this spirit as something separate from herself and, after the hot as well as cold wars were over, she sought dialogue and cooperation with it.
Reconciliation, dialogue and cooperation with the world, Spiritus Mundi, (our ancient enemy); as Saint Cole Porter wrote, who could ask for anything more?
