Thankfully he renounced his red views and came back to the Catholic faith on his death bed.

Out of the fire; back into the frying pan.


OTOH, why does one need to renounce Communism to have a religious faith?

An awful lot of our FR Catholics seem to think that their new pope is a commie!

“OTOH, why does one need to renounce Communism to have a religious faith?”

Here’s what the pope of Gramsci’s day said:

“We make this pronouncement: Whether considered as a doctrine, or an historical fact, or a movement, Socialism, if it remains truly Socialism, even after it has yielded to truth and justice on the points which we have mentioned, cannot be reconciled with the teachings of the Catholic Church because its concept of society itself is utterly foreign to Christian truth.” Pope Pius XI, Encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, May 15, 1931, n. 117

“An awful lot of our FR Catholics seem to think that their new pope is a commie!”

And a lot of Protestant anti-Catholics believe all sorts of crazy ideas invented out of thin air. Just because people can post on the internet doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about. Anti-Catholic prove that every day.
