Pope Pius XI on the communism.
Our Lady of Fatima told us that we'll be chastised by Russia if we don't amend our life and we didn't. It's even worse and there is no sign of an increasing devotion to the 1st Saturday of the month...
Then, it should happen quite soon as prophesied by 1 Thessalonians 5.

Ludovic is correct. Until Fatima is OBEYED, it will only get worse. Where is the devotion to the Blessed Virgin that our Lord wishes and that He laid out as to how to bring forth? Where is the conversion of Russia? Where is the promised period of peace? Either our Lady was a liar or the conditions haven't been fulfilled (effeminate blabbermouths on this site notwithstanding).

Showing you up is no great feat.

I do not delete messages and you do. Hiding things from other people is wicked. Hding them out of pride and shame is wicked.

"I would not delete your message also because you finally admit that you're arrogant..."

Finally? Anyone reading my posts on GTV knows by now that I am unashamedly arrogant. I make no secret of it.

"...and that you don't follow the teachings of Christ but fearing only the law of your country."

See? This is exactly what you did with the third secret of Fatima. Exactly.

You change meanings. You add meanings. I never said anything about not following the teachings of Christ or that I fear only the laws of my own country.

Those statements are what YOU just fabricated. For example. I fear other things as well. Spiders, just to name one.

You 'add in' comments that simply are NOT there. I said (direct quote), "Again, I say it before God. Every last word. In your face."

I also said (direct quote) "I do not have to worry about what you would do in France. Our laws are very, very different than yours."

This is why your tough-talk about standing face to face does not frighten me. Whatever you think you would do next does not frighten me. American law allows us to deal with that, very, very decisively.

So yes. I would say everything in these comments directly to your face, standing in front of you.

"You bear the mark of the Beast according to Pope Pius VI because you follow the so-called justice of your country and not the Catholic law."

Wrong again. I -do- follow Catholic law. You are adding a new statement I did not make. Again.

Catholic law corresponds very nicely to American law on this subject.

But then, I have read the Catholic Church's teachings on this subject and you, obviously, have not.

Please read The Catechism Of The Catholic Church (2nd edition), Part Three, Section Two, Chapter Two, Article Five, Paragraph 2264. I will even helpfully link it for you.

www.vatican.va/…/p3s2c2a5.htm

Read the third sentence in Paragraph 2264 out loud. THAT is what Catholic law says.

Abortion is an error stemming from Russia. It's at the highest level there like other communist countries. Homosexual marriage and the other sins were defended by Lenin and his peers.

Our Lady of Fatima warned us that if peoples don't have the devotion for the 1st Saturday of the month in order that Russia be consecrated, then it'll happen. Everyone can now see that our states have become cultural marxists and even took an economy more socialist than ever the state subsidizing everything instead of private companies. There is no competition on some markets like it should be in a capitalist one.

Anatolyi Golystine, a Russian opponent, warned us also about the tactics to pretend the fall of communism in order to take over the West. 92% of his predictions were right, and it should soon happen as prophesied by Our Lady of Fatima. One can also read "Fatima and the great conspiration" from the Irish author Deirdre Manifold.

The United States is more than capable of producing its own corruption without any foreign help. It had industrial slavery until 1865. Slavery was beginning to die out until the invntion of the cotton gin in 1793, which increased demand for cotton, thus cotton pickers

The US Robber Barons were paying people pennies and used their enormous profits to build castles and fund anti-Catholic organizations.

The present crisis in the Church has been compared to the French Revolution, which happened over 100 years before the Communists took over Russia.

The push for abortion predates the Bolshevik takeover of Russia. In fact, Prescott Bush, investment banker and the father of Bush41, was one of the founders of Planned Parenthood, the #1 abortion provider in the US.

It's a sheer fact that Russia spread its errors among which is the class warfare, also helped by the school of Francfort in Germany. Our Lady of Fatima could have also spoken of France and "la commune" that happened in Paris if you go this way but she appeared in 1917 during the Bolshevik revolution of these months which was on the verge to succeed while never before communism succeeded in France or elsewhere.

Russia began the abortion at the higher level in the last century and it was already before the abortion pill that was invented in the US.

On the other hand, you want to reduce Western corruption to the influence of Russian style Communism.

And advocates of Population Control endorse homosexuality because it limits population growth.

The problem in the West is that capitalists tend to emphasize economic growth and de-emphasize or ignore personal morality. The likes of McDonald's, Microsoft, and Starbucks were not influenced by Marx or Lenin.

And now Western govts are actively opposing the Church.

76. The State itself, mindful of its responsibility before God and society, should be a model of prudence and sobriety inthe administration of the commonwealth. Today more than ever the acute world crisis demands that those who dispose ofimmense funds, built up on the sweat and toil of millions, keep constantly and singly in mind the common good. Statefunctionaries and all employees are obliged in conscience to perform their duties faithfully and unselfishly, imitating thebrilliant example of distinguished men of the past and of our own day, who with unremitting labor sacrificed their all forthe good of their country. In international trade-relations let all means be sedulously employed for the removal of thoseartificial barriers to economic life which are the effects of distrust and hatred. All must remember that the peoples of theearth form but one family in God.77. At the same time the State must allow the Church full liberty to fulfill her divine and spiritual mission, and this in itselfwill be an effectual contribution to the rescue of nations from the dread torment of the present hour. Everywhere todaythere is an anxious appeal to moral and spiritual forces; and rightly so, for the evil we must combat is at its origin primarilyan evil of the spiritual order. From this polluted source the monstrous emanations of the communistic system flow withsatanic logic. Now, the Catholic Church is undoubtedly preeminent among the moral and religious forces of today.Therefore the very good of humanity demands that her work be allowed to proceed unhindered.78. Those who act otherwise, and at the same time fondly pretend to attain their objective with purely political oreconomic means, are in the grip of a dangerous error. When religion is banished from the school, from education andfrom public life, when the representatives of Christianity and its sacred rites are held up to ridicule, are we not reallyfostering the materialism which is the fertile soil of Communism.? Neither force, however well organized it be, nor earthlyideals however lofty or noble, can control a movement whose roots lie in the excessive esteem for the goods of thisworld.

DIVINI REDEMPTORIS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI ON ATHEISTIC COMMUNISM /paragraph10/:.
Communism, moreover, strips man of his liberty, robs human personality of all its dignity, and removes all the moral restraints that check the eruptions of blind impulse. There is no recognition of any right of the individual in his relations tothe collectivity; no natural right is accorded to human personality, which is a mere cog-wheel in the Communist system. In man's relations with other individuals, besides, Communists hold the principle of absolute equality, rejecting all hierarchy and divinely-constituted authority, including the authority of parents. What men call authority and subordination is derived from the community as its first and only font. Nor is the individual granted any property rights over material goods or the means of production, for in as much as these are the source of further wealth, their possession would give one man power over another. Precisely on this score, all forms of private property must be eradicated, for they are at the origin of alleconomic enslavement .11. Refusing to human life any sacred or spiritual character, such a doctrine logically makes of marriage and the family a purely artificial and civil institution, the outcome of a specific economic system. There exists no matrimonial bond of a juridico-moral nature that is not subject to the whim of the individual or of the collectivity. Naturally, therefore, the notion of an indissoluble marriage-tie is scouted. Communism is particularly characterized by the rejection of any link that binds woman to the family and the home, and her emancipation is proclaimed as a basic principle. She is withdrawn from the family and the care of her children, to be thrust instead into public life and collective production under the same conditions as man. The care of home and children then devolves upon the collectivity. Finally, the right of education is denied to parents, for it is conceived as the exclusive prerogative of the community, in whose name and by whose mandate alone parents may exercise this right.12. What would be the condition of a human society based on such materialistic tenets? It would be a collectivity with noother hierarchy than that of the economic system. It would have only one mission: the production of material things by means of collective labor, so that the goods of this world might be enjoyed in a paradise where each would "give according to his powers" and would "receive according to his needs." Communism recognizes in the collectivity the right, or rather, unlimited discretion, to draft individuals for the labor of the collectivity with no regard for their personal welfare;so that even violence could be legitimately exercised to dragoon the recalcitrant against their wills. In the Communistic commonwealth morality and law would be nothing but a derivation of the existing economic order, purely earthly in origin and unstable in character. In a word. the Communists claim to inaugurate a new era and a new civilization which is the result of blind evolutionary forces culminating in a humanity without God.
