It Now Turns out that the Kremlin and Its Communist KGB Was Behind The Deputy Which Started a Smear Campaign against Pope Pius XII in the 1960s. Actually, Pius XII Was an Enemy of Hitler from His First Encyclical. Current Pope Benedict is appointing Communist spies as church archbishops, and now it is coming to light that it was the Kremlin and its Communist KGB (Committee for State Security, the Soviet Intelligence Agency) that was behind the "smear campaign" in the 1960s against the Catholic Church. "The main target was Pope Pius XII," says a former high-ranking officer with the KGB. You may have wondered why Pope Pius XII, who was highly praised by one and all for his courageous actions during World War II was, suddenly became, in the 1960s, the subject of virulent character assassination. Well, KGB Lt. General Ion Mihai Pacepa, who defected from the former Soviet bloc, recounts how the Kremlin and its KGB designed the deliberate campaign to portray Pope Pius XII "as a coldhearted Nazi sympathizer." In February 1960, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev approved a super-secret plan for destroying the Vatican's moral authority in Western Europe," writes Pacepa. "Eugenio Pacelli, by then Pope Pius XII, was selected as the KGB's main target, its incarnation of evil, because he had departed this world in 1958, [and] dead men cannot defend themselves." The KGB used against him the fact that Archbishop Pacelli had served as the papal nuncio in Munich and Berlin when the Nazis were beginning their bid for power. "The KGB wanted to depict him as an anti-Semite who had encouraged Hitler's holocaust," says Pacepa. To do this, the KGB wanted some original Vatican documents to "slightly modify." So they called in Pacepa, who was working for the Romanian intelligence service. The KGB used these documents to produce a powerful play attacking Pope Pius XII, entitled The Deputy. It eventually saw the stage in Germany in 1963, under the title The Deputy: A Christian Tragedy. It deceitfully charged that Pius XII had supported Hitler and encouraged him to go ahead with the Jewish Holocaust. The play ran in New York in 1964 and was translated into 20 languages to smear Pius XII's saintly reputation. KGB chairman Yury Andropov, the unparalleled master of Soviet deception, told Pacepa: "People are more ready to believe smut than holiness." Pacepa says that the truth has finally begun to emerge. "Witnesses from all over the world have compellingly proved that Pius XII was an enemy, not a friend, of Hitler," says Pacepa. "At the start of World War II, Pope Pius XII's first encyclical was so anti-Hitler that the Royal Air Force and the French Air Force dropped 88,000 copies of it over Germany." [Source: CNA]
Our Pope is having serious problems, and definitely needs our prays now. Not just for the missal or mumbled during mass, but for real. He won't last much longer unless he gets the help he needs, the help that can only come from us, the faithful.
Apparently according to sources that are usually extremely accurate.
The Pope has become so isolated and powerless that he spends most of his time alone in his study writing and playing the piano while Rome burns with in-fighting. All Hell, as it were, has broken loose at the Vatican since Benedict appointed a known communist spy to be th Archbishop of Warsaw, who was forced by the Polish people to resign the day after he was installed. Archbishop Wielgus was exposed by documents unearthed at the Poland's National Remembrance Institute as an agent for Poland's Communist Secret Service for decades and as having twice attended its spy school.
Responsibility for the appointment rests directly upon Benedict, who personally had passed over six other candidates to select Wielgus and publicly admitted that he knew Wielgus had serious skeletons in his closet. But there is more to the story. This crisis has had the consequence of exposing to the public deep divisions within the Vatican, which insiders say have left the Pope increasingly isolated and powerless. Add to that the fact that he has no plan and refuses to make controversial decisions, his papacy is already becoming a footnote in papal history. Which would be very sad indeed.
According to the Italian newsmagazine Panorama: Benedict does not have a decisive temperament and must take into account his age. The initiatives that he has taken are meeting with much resistance. For months, Benedict appeared isolated, closed up in his study polishing his speeches, writing his book Jesus of Nazareth, to be published in April, or playing the piano.
The Vatican also became a laughing stock in all Italy when Tarcisio Bertone, Benedict's new Secretary of State since September 2006, announced that the Vatican could field a soccer team in Italy's first division! It seems that the Church Curia's attention these days is more on sports than religion, while Rome burns. The Pope, who was JPII's "enforcer," has displayed an incapacity for the leadership of the Church. He isolates himself from his Curia and eats out only at the home of his former secretary, Monsignor Josef Clemens. [Source: The Washington Times]
"Today Unborn Children Are Being Killed in the Millions"
During a sermon in the Cologne cathedral on Epiphany, Joachim Cardinal Meisner declared:
"First there was Herod, who ordered the children of Bethlehem to be killed,
then there was Hitler and Stalin among others, and today unborn children are being killed in their millions."
So? No problem there, right? Wrong! The cardinal was set upon by Liberalists, who objected to abortions being compared to the Nazi concentration camps and demanded an "apology."
But let's look at the numbers.
Every year around the world, 46,000,000 abortions are conducted. The total number lost in the concentration camps has been estimated from 6,000,000-12,000,000.
So, the concentration camps are a comparative blip compared to the firestorm of abortions. That's a fact.
What, then, did this cardinal do in response to the attacks? Stand by his statement -- which was true?
No.
In "oecumenical" fashion, he capitulated and "apologized," saying that "he would never have made such a comparison if he had thought it could have been open to misinterpretation." What misinterpretation?
The Liberalists, who stand four-square for free speech (not!), included Claudia Roth, the co-president of the Greens party, which is in coalition with Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's Social Democrats, and by the president of the Central Council for Jews in Germany, Paul Spiegel, who told the press that he "cannot in any way understand how anyone could compare abortion and euthanasia to the crimes of the Nazis." This beknighted individual just doesn't have any imagination!
Then, too, the Oecumenical Movement "Initiative Kirche" got all out of joint. "Meisner has completely lost his authority as a bishop and has publicly done a great wrong to the Catholic Church and to dialogue between Jews and Christians," it said. Oh, yes, oecumenical "dialogue" must trump the truth, must trump Catholic teaching. You see how eating the phony Novus Ordo cookie has affected these peoples' minds? It seems that there was a little too much vanilla in the Cologne batch!
What Happened to the aLL THE composers Who Were Inspired by the Roman Catholic Church Before Vatican II Destroyed Serious Church Music?
The Church's own proper music is, of course, the Gregorian chant. However, the Roman Catholic Faith has been an inspiration to polyphonic composers as well. In fact, up until Vatican II there was hardly any major composer who had not written a Mass, a Requiem, a Te Deum, or some other significant Roman liturgical work, usually more than one. And usually the most significant work of a composer was his religious work. One has only to think of Giovanni Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli, Johann Sebastian Bach's High Mass in B Minor, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, Josef Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass, Hector Berlioz' Requiem, or Ralph Vaughan Williams' Mass in G Minor.
On January 27, 2007, we celebrate the 251th anniversary of another great Catholic composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His output of Church music, mainly for the Archbishop of Vienna, was copious. He wrote 17 Masses, one Requiem Mass, two Litanies, two Vespers, two sublime Motets: Ave verum corpus and Exsultate, iubilate, five separate Kyries, and 18 short sacred works.
One can well imagine how the cathedral of Vienna resounded with this glorious music, elevating the souls of those present at Mass or Vespers to spiritual sublimity.
It is all the more pathetic that all the Church after Vatican II seems to be able to offer is the insipid campfire ditty Kumbaya. Anyone calling this church the `Catholic' Church, let alone the Roman Catholic Church, truly has to be deaf, dumb, and blind!
Is it a crime in this church to pray to Christ to take now? Sometimes when a business is no longer in touch with the needs of its clients, it must declare bankruptcy, in order to reorganize its business plan and then re-emerge from under the tremendous load it was carrying which was its debt.
In a similar way, I pray to God the Father to declare bankruptcy on this corrupt church here on earth, and let it get itself back to its core purpose. Leading the faithful and evangelizing the world is the business of the Church, not telling other nations what they should do.
Apparently, half a million dollars isn't nearly enough!
Presbyter Michael Moynihan, pastor of St. Michael's Parish in Greenwich, Connecticut, got off with merely resigning from his position, after a preliminary financial audit uncovered more than $500,000 unaccounted for. William Lori, Bishop of Bridgeport since January 2001, declared that in spite of the embezzlement, Moynihan remains "a priest [sic] in good standing." Moynihan shares that distinction with the thousands of other presbyter-embezzlers and presbyter-rapists, whom the Church refuses to expel and punish according to the gravity of their crimes.
Lori himself has been involved in several embezzlement scandals of his pastors. For example, in 2006 a scandal broke involving Michael Fay, former pastor of St. John Parish in Darien. Fay was accused by police of spending $1,400,000 in parish funds over six years, some of it to buy gifts for a man who was his paramour. The record shows that Lori is an incompetent, who should be offering his own resignation. Naturally, our Pope wants to keep him on, nevertheless.
Moynihan used Parish funds as his own personal finances and kept at least two "off-the-books" bank accounts, which only he knew about and had control of. About $1,400,000 in transactions passed through one account -- half a million of which auditors cannot account for because checks were used to pay for some of Moynihan's personal credit cards and, in some cases, were made out simply to "Cash."
Lori is certainly not the only evil one in Bridgeport. In spite of the fact that Moynihan had apparently bilked them of half a million dollars, several beknighted parishioners defended the embezzler and were critical of Lori's decision to ask for Moynihan's resignation. Several other parishioners left the church crying and upset, saying that the Church Diocese had mistreated Moynihan. [Source: Hartford Courant]
The support by pew congregants of their pastors who rape their children and embezzle parish money is nothing less than diabolical [read of Satan]. These are the same people that routinely call presbyter-rapists and embezzlers "the best presbyters we ever had." Don't feel sorry for these bedeviled churchgoers. They deserve everything they get. They are not innocent bystanders. They are aiding and abetting criminals and should be "cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 8:12/DRV).
Saddam Hussein has been executed after a fair trial. He was guilty of killing the innocent by unjustifiable homicide, that is, murder. Newvatican, via Cardinal Renato Martino, claimed that "capital punishment is contrary to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church" and that the just judicial execution of this mass murderer and torturer is compounding a "crime with another crime." So now the Church teaches that those who punish justly-convicted criminals with the death penalty are themselves committing a crime?
Holy Scripture, both the Old Testament and the New Testament repeatedly justify the death penalty.
When any organization teaches that which is clearly contrary to traditional Catholic dogma and Tradition, then one thing becomes certain: that organization is not teaching in the name of the Roman Catholic Church. Those who teach that which is contrary to the explicit law of God have de facto placed themselves above God Almighty in violation of the First Commandment, and Our Lord Himself had grave words about the most special place of the First Commandment.
Renato Martino is in grave error to say that "capital punishment is contrary to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church." Am I a fool not to realize that Martino is not a "Roman Catholic"; rather, he is a member of the 'A Church' of the some New Order, who obviously doesn't know (or care) what the clear Roman Catholic teaching on the subject has been for 2000 years. Since Martino also displays an abysmal ignorance of the Bible, one has to wonder whether he is even a Christian!
