Many think Communism is just a political theory. It is not.
by Trad West
Communism is a spiritual weapon of the devil, designed to enslave souls, destroy the Church, and erase God from the hearts of Men.
This is why saints stood up to it.
Why is communism demonic? Because communism begins with atheism. It denies God and His Church.
Man is reduced to a number in the collective.
The State becomes "god". The Church becomes the enemy. This is not just a political theory. Its satanic.
Can a christian be a communist? No. The Church has made this absolutely clear. Pope Pius XII decreed in 1949: Catholics who professed atheistic communist doctrine to be excommunicated as apostates from the Christian faith.
To support Communism is to support a system that seeks to crucify Christ anew, in His Church, in His poor, in His priests.
Socialist and communist regimes have persecuted the Church and its faithful since their inception. From Venerable Cardinal József Mindszenty in Hungary; He was arrested, tortured, drugged, and forced into a show trial. But he never renounced the Faith.
To the Martyrs of Ukraine of 1946 when Stalin outlawed the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
To the modern day where Christians, and the Church, in China, North Korea and Venezuela are persecuted. Just last month Maduro's regime had arrested a Cardinal and confiscasted his passport.
But we know the way to fight it.
In 1917, at the height of WWI, three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal received a message from Heaven.
Our Lady warned: “Russia will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will suffer much…”
The “errors of Russia” were not just political. They were spiritual poisons:
>Atheistic materialism
>Class warfare
>Destruction of the family
>Rejection of the Church
>Deification of the State
>Persecution of the faithful
These are the seeds of Communism, and they spread globally.
We are still suffering from these to these day.
Our Lady gave us weapons to use:
>Daily Rosary
>Consecration to her Immaculate Heart
>First Saturdays devotion
>Penance and reparation for sins
She promised: “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.”
