If they don't resign, they should be removed.

[wagglebee]

Ping.

This letter sounds somewhat Donatist to me, althoug I suppose they are not challenging the validity of their sacraments.

"Von Hildebrand cites the voluminous Senate committee testimony of former Communist Party organizer and high Party official, Bella Dodd who revealed that the Catholic priesthood in the US and other western countries had been heavily infiltrated by communist agents whose mission it was, she said, "to destroy the Catholic Church from within." Dodd predicted changes in the Church that would be so drastic that "you will not recognize the Catholic Church.""

Wow - I knew they got into the Russian Orthodox Church. Anyone have more references on this?

You could probably find the "Verona Papers" online as they have been declassified.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/722955/posts has a FR discussion on "Did Communists Infiltrate the Catholic Church?"

Does this mean that those few Catholic Freepers who maintain the fiction that the Orthodox in Russia did nothing (beyond 30,000 murdered clergy and millions of murdered faithful) to resist Communism might be shamed into silence by the truth finally?

I know that there are very few who would actually let their political biases infect recognition of the truth.

As a Christian first, I admire Poland's contributions to Christian life and values in an increasingly secular Europe. Let our brothers in Christ the Poles take this step and make a decision to denounce any hypocrites who infected the church.

Poland does the right thing

Let's test that assertion... (ping)

[Nihil Obstat]

Dr. von Hildebrand recalled in an interview with Latin Mass magazine in 2001, "Bella Dodd told my husband and me that when she was an active Party member, she had dealt with no fewer than four cardinals within the Vatican 'who were working for us'."

let the speculatin' begin.

[lizol]

I'm not going to test anything with you, neither on your demand.

[x5452]

So in fact you wouldn't recognize the sacrifice Orthodox Christians made, you're bigotry knows no bounds liz.

[lizol]

The only thing I wanted to say, is, that you are just to much of a dumb..s, to discuss with you.

Nothing more, nothing less.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Eastern European ping list

[x5452]

Either way you have refused to acknowledge (by not acknowledging anything at all) the sacrifice of Orthodox Christians.

As I suspected the original poster gave you bigots far too much credit.

"Poland is for Poles" right?

[little jeremiah]

I was going to ping you to this, wag - and note the possible/likely connection between the Lavender Mafia and Communist agents. And people say that all "conspiracy theories" are propeller beanie items.

Well, the Communists infiltrated The World Council of Churches.
At least according to the father of Antony Flew (the atheist philosopher
that turned theist/deist).
