Did Communists Infiltrate the Catholic Church?

Here are the links you asked for. I hope no one accuses me of trying to weaken the faith, malign the Pope or of being an extreme trad SSPXer. Cause I ain't. I'm only an orthodox Catholic, like most of us here, trying to understand the history of the Church and doing my best with the grace of God to live the faith in Jesus Christ. Lately it seems that a disclaimer needs to be written for what some FReepers post for discussion and refutation. Sheesh.

"Present at the Demolition
An interview with Dr. Alice von Hildebrand
A Philosopher Remembers and Reminds"

"Catechism on the Errors of Vatican II"

As an addendum: The greater truth for me is that the Pope is Peter's successor and the Vicar of Christ.

Thank you, this looks interesting to say the least. Someone in my family graduated from Hunter back in the 30's and she says it was full of card carrying communists back then.

Colleen,

I believe you are an "orthodox Catholic" along with most everyone here. But, that last link you posted is to a very whacked out bunch.

p.s. I'm no fan of Merton either. :-)

But, that last link you posted is to a very whacked out bunch.

I agree, they are a whacked out bunch, but when you do a search for "Bella Dodd" that link comes up. I read as much as I can, probably disagree with most of it, and file it away. It's all you can do.

I wonder, is Dr. Hildebrand on the FR Index of forbidden authors? Is Walter Cardinal Kasper? Where is this mysterious Index and what are the rules?

The witch hunt attitude of some here gets tiring.

Click on the link at the bottom of that page.

"Present at the Demolition" is a great read. I will re-read it again more carefully. What an incredible view from an impeccable Catholic. Thank you.

[american colleen]

Yes, I've fully explored that site - what the heck are they? They aren't SSPXers, just another whacky group, I guess. They have a pretty extensive page on John XXIII and the Mason connection... like I said earlier, you read this stuff and just file it away. I'll go with the pope on this, every time.

[Domestic Church]

I just noticed how far out that site is too. Still it is good to see the arguments. Since John XXIII there have been many miracles and there have been those extraordinary phenomena for example, St.Pio, Mother Teresa, Betania and the appearance of Our Lady there....and most of all the continual Eucharistic miracles around the world. I think it is safe to say that God is very much with us no matter what the sins of the hierarchy have been.

Amen! And that is the bottom line.

[Domestic Church]

The Hildebrands are eminent Catholic authors and their books are sold by Ignatius Press. I can't imagine their being on a blacklist.

You needn't be so sarcastic when correcting me.

"Moreover, these men all died in violent deaths (suicides and murders) before the matter could fully be investigated."

Sounds like Satan was claiming his own. Anybody who gives up their chance for Heaven for the temporary pleasures and treasures of earth has (knowingly or unknowingly) made a pact with the devil for their souls. They haven't read the fine print: Their souls are forfeit, and they are inescapably bound. They must do more and more, reach farther, grasp for more, always seeking that elusive "happiness" that Satan holds out before them like a carrot on a string. But Satan ALWAYS lies. He is the FATHER of lies. These souls have been lied to in the temptations they yielded to when they chose the pleasures/treasures of this world and gave up the chance for eternal life in the Next.

The continuing and ever present desire to take the divinity away from Jesus Christ and make him "just a man",like you and I,or maybe a judge or an officer,to whom we owe respect.

I at times,am amused by the modernists who look at the "evolution" and maturing of man,for example,but insist that for "authenticity" we must stifle the organic development of anything and revert to 50A.D.,or 300A.D.,or wherever they choose to stop the clock.

I prefer to kneel,as did Christ,when He prayed to the Father,or I think of the phrase,from scripture,"and every knee shall bend".

"Catechism on the Errors of Vatican II"

Nice link, AC. I guess an Ecumenical Council is not infallible. This is news to me

[Catholicguy]

You needn't be so sarcastic when correcting me.

Sorry. I did post that personally to you and I should not have. I wasn't trying to upset you. Narses specialises in posting stuff that undermines the authority of the Hierarchy or is critical of the Pope and this is just Commie garbage is yet ANOTHER example of how he tries to frighten others and undermine their confidence.

[Catholicguy]

I hope no one accuses me of trying to weaken the faith,

Posting a site that attacks an Ecumenical Council? Why would that undermine or weaken one's Faith?

[american colleen]

After your nasty private FReepmail to me, I figured you wouldn't waste your time posting to me. Glad to see you are still on the alert for possible unorthodox postings. I was testing you. Keep up the good work.

[narses]

I'm aware, I was poking at those hounding people who post what they considers blasphemy, heresy, schism or sin.

Your post is both dishonest (I post many things and what I try to do is elicit comments from which I can learn) and cowardly (as you don't "ping" me as I am told is the custom here). I have asked you before and I ask you again, stop attacking me.
