The Lepanto Institute released a new video report, exposing the celebration and promotion of militant communists in a Vatican event initiated by Pope Francis. The report focuses on the organizations and speakers that were celebrated in a video produced by the Vatican for the fourth annual World Meeting of Popular Movements (WMPM).
According to the WMPM website, the purpose of the meeting "is to create an 'encounter' between Church leadership and grassroots organizations working to address the 'economy of exclusion and inequality' by working for structural changes that promote social, economic and racial justice." But many of the organizations participating in the meeting are self-avowed militant Communists.
“A woman named Ceres Hadich, representing a Brazilian organization called Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), shows up in the Vatican video at around 14 minutes,” said Michael Hichborn, president of the Lepanto Institute. “We have video of Hadich, just a few months before the WMPM, doing a family read-aloud of the Communist Manifesto, with the communist hymn called the Internationale playing in the background while the MST flag hangs on the wall behind them! We also found hundreds of posts and articles by MST celebrating Karl Marx and calling for a communist revolution!”
The Lepanto Institute also exposed the Vatican’s inclusion of Luca Casrini, who heads the organization called Mediterranea Saving Humans. Casarini is a long-time Marxist agitator and activist who once headed the Tute Bianche movement, which infamously engaged in violent clashes with Italian police during the G8 summit in 2001. During that clash, Casarini (whose facebook page is littered with communist organizations) issued a “declaration of war” against G8 participants.
Other organizations given a spotlight in the Vatican’s video, exposed by the Lepanto Institute for openly working toward Communist revolution are StreetNet International and Slum Dwellers International.
"Perhaps the most shocking thing we discovered in producing this report is Pope Francis’ admission to having examined the documents and speeches of these individuals and organizations, while he sings their praises and encourages them to continue on,” said Hichborn.
In a video speech to the participants in the WMPM, Pope Francis praised them as a “veritable invisible army” with “the future of humanity in great measure in [their] own hands.” Addressing the question of what these self-professed Marxists should be doing, Pope Francis said that "some concrete measures that may allow for significant changes," are "present in your documents, in your speeches, and I have taken them very much into account; I have reflected on them and consulted specialists."
Responding Pope Francis’ speech, Hichborn said, “Pope Francis removed all plausible deniability that these organizations are acolytes of Karl Marx, working toward Communist revolution by admitting that he reviewed their documents and speeches. We also reviewed their documents and speeches, and it is clear even to the casual observer that they are Communists. It is both shocking and horrifying for the man sitting on the Chair of Peter to encourage organizations working for Communist revolution to follow their own ideas for ‘significant change.’”
Pachapapa Francis isn’t even trying to hide this anymore either, though before it was still parently obvious what he was all about.
Anyone who remains a Catholic, now, is aiding and abetting a Communist enemy.
“I have reflected on them and consulted specialists.”
Better to consult scripture, fauxope.
One shouldn’t forsake Jesus because of Judas.
A leader can influence the direction of a group. Germany/Hitler. Russia/Stalin.
I’d bail if I were you.
IOW, the problem isn’t the church but rather Francis.
And you can still stay true to Jesus, even if you forsake Catholicism. Christianity is still out there.
He's the leader of that church. That's a big deal. If he was just a participant or a lower-level leader, might not matter as much.
The problem IS the church because it generated this Francis fauxpope.
OH STOP!!! The Pope is NOT THE CHURCH!!
AMEN!!! I couldn’t have said it better!! (And I didn’t).
I don’t call him the Commie Poope for nothin.
Every left wing movement in Cebtral and South America began in the liberation theology churches run primarily by Jesuits. The RCC’s social justice dogma has had a leftist bent. Trust me, I taught CCD for years before leaving the Church
Look at all the supposed major “Catholic” universities and see the bent of their professors.
That is absolutely correct and are to be seen that way.
Anyone who believes that way does not see the Democrat Party as being the problem, but rather Biden.
Marxism started with Marx, then was advanced by Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer via Critical Theory, which morphed into Critical Race Theory, and Noel Ignatiev is one of the latest iterations in promoting Marxism.
One can start at Wikipedia even and look at the early lives of these, what led them to go the route they did, and so on.
I was SICK when it was announced that the Pope was a Jesuit....SICK!! i KNEW he would be awful! But he has NOTHING to do with my soul getting to heaven. I ignore him.
What you said is like “BIDEN is OUR LEADER, so we must all be like Biden or leave America”.
Stupid vile ‘pope’...
Does Francis have eyes?
Can’t he see?
Open your eyes pope...
Francis thinks the cheap words of commie filth create decent cultures? They don’t. Commies create hellholes where-ever they get power.
Open your eyes pope.
LOOK AT THE REALITY OF HOW PEOPLE SUFFER IN COMMIE HELLHOLES.
Show us a commie hellhole YOU would want to live in as a common citizen.
What a fool.
