Is this an invention? – The Kremlin and Eurocommunism – Suspense on the Brazilian scene

1981-04-08 – What Next ? / While a certain degree of cunning is required of the spy, much more is required of the deviator.

1939-10-15 – The Unending Conflict / The tragic danger of our time lies in false remedies lacking effective authority, remedies based on insufficient principles, remedies derived from extremisms that propose to heal the mortal suffering that afflicts us. Abolishing marriage will only give rise to far worse and inhumane evils, because it will destroy the basic cell or unity of social life, which means that society itself will soon be annihilated.

They claim that Communists no longer uphold their old doctrines and, therefore, the Popes no longer condemn communism. Is it true?

1945-10-14 – Communism, Property, and Family. Predictions and Denunciations / For Communists, the notion of a crime loses its raison d’être if that crime does not disturb the progress of humanity’s evolution toward happiness. Thus, many acts of culpable criminality cease to be such because their practical consequences do not appear in society to harm it. Only the usefulness of things for human progress makes them good or bad. Hence, the State can use individuals and their aptitudes and capacities with tyrannical despotism.

1946-06-16 – False alternative / Faced with the false “despotism-anarchy” alternative, totalitarians of all stripes preferred despotism to react against anarchy. Did they get it right? Of course not. Because they once again failed to free themselves from the wrong alternative. They stuck to it, and fleeing liberalism, they slipped from the peak of the dilemma to the bottom of the abyss. They did not understand that it was not a question of choosing between two precipices but looking for the Way that does not lead to chasms but Heaven.

1964-11-06 – How ‘Peaceful Coexistence’ Enables Russia to Invade Other Nations. A Lesson on Private Property and the Natural Law. The Freedom of the Church in the Communist State / Instead of trusting God, placing our hope in Him, and asking Him to save us from nuclear catastrophe, we trusted the word of Russians, handed over power to them, and opened the gates of our countries to them. Instead of making a pact with the thrice-holy and infinitely faithful God, asking Him to descend with His Angels visibly or invisibly to save us, we placed our trust in the powers of darkness, saying, “here are our hands, handcuff them; here are the keys to our homes, governments and institutions: keep it all. We trust in you; you will do us no harm.” Could such sin not be the cause of an atomic deluge? Would God’s mercy subject the world to nuclear catastrophe if that huge sin did not happen? Imagine a people who dare to say: “I do not know how God will operate. I do not know how He will save us. But I say NO, that is not legitimate! I trust in God and in Our Lady who assists me, in the angels and patroness saints of nations who defend me. I say NO! Let the world fall on me. I will be faithful and say NO unto death!”
