[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Receives Cross of Ashes from a Token WomanCardinal Marx received the ash cross on Ash Wednesday in Munich's Liebfrauendom from a certain Ilaria Igliani, an artist who only graduated from the Munich Academy of Fine Arts in 2022.To this, Igliani even spoke the correct formula: "Remember man that you are dust and will return to dust." Comment on social media, "The circus continues."Position-swapping is a carnival custom. But since it's carnival all year round at the Council Church, it's safe to assume that the Academy of Fine Arts will soon be exhibiting sculptures created by Marx.

A House Resolution condemning socialism that was introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla) passed with unanimous GOP support. Democrats, though were split on the issue with about half voting for it and half not. Salazar argued that the resolution was "intended as a message to our youth. Right now 40% of generation z and millennials see Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto as a better guide for government than the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness cited in our Declaration of Independence." "As history has shown, Marx's ideas have led to tyranny and murder carried out by communist regimes," Salazar pointed out....

Federal law explicitly bars immigration for the purpose of receiving welfare benefits from the government. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asserted that “this law barring immigrants from sharing in America’s wealth is inhumane. Enforcing it would be selfish. Ignoring it is generous. By electing President Biden the American people signaled their consent to our policy of letting anyone in who needs food stamps, Medicaid, or government housing aid.” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton countered Mayorkas’ claim, saying “there is no evidence that voters approve of this policy change. Biden’s whole lackadaisical presidential campaign was focused on the fact...

‘Treason’: German Synodal Path furious after bishops block document on changing Church teachingCardinal Reinhard Marx, the former head of the German bishops and a member of the Pope's Council of Cardinals, said he was 'very disappointed' by this voting result.FRANKFURT-AM-MAIN, Germany (LifeSiteNews) — Following a setback, progressivists dominating the German Synodal Path are shocked, speak of “disaster” and “treason,” and bemoan that some bishops are “secret blockers” who “do not say openly what they think.”Yesterday, on the feast of the Nativity of Our Lady, the entire Catholic world was surprised when, during the fourth Synodal Path assembly, 21 German bishops...

Fox News host Mark Levin went on a blistering tirade against the Democrat Party for their "war against Donald Trump" on his Sunday show. The "Life, Liberty & Levin" host made the case that Democrats in Congress had abused their powers and colluded with the media to take down the former president because they view him as a potential 2024 threat. He listed three Democrat-elected prosecutors who had targeted the Trump Organization for purely political motives, before he laid into the "so-called January 6 Committee" as a "Stalinist" "farce." "[It's] nothing more than a front politburo type committee set up...

I'm interested in what the clever minds here consider as the most evil man in history. Was it Hitler, Marx , Judas , or someone else? Here is a late night thread to ponder this question.

For those of you familiar with my work on the Cloward Piven Strategy of Manufactured Crisis, you may be interested to know that I wrote a new book: Who Was Karl Marx? The Men, the Motives and the Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left. It summarizes my decades of study of communism and the American Left, and describes what is going on today, how we got here, who got us here, what were their motives and the longest chapter offers some ideas on how to get us out of this ungodly mess.

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Marx Thinks Practised Homosexuality Is “Not A Sin"Homosexuality is "not a sin," Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx told the anti-Catholic Stern.de (30 March).Marx calls homosexuality "love" that shows itself "precisely in the sexual encounter [sic!]", although sin and love are opposites.Ten years ago, Marx could not have imagined staging a homosexual service, as he did in March.It "doesn't matter" to him that this “offends" Catholics [and God]. He feels freer to say what he "thinks" and wants to "take Church teaching further" [into the abyss].Marx believes that God seeks communion with homosexuals. For him, "it is rather sinful...

Like a small, unnoticed fire in the basement which can destroy your home, Communism is lurking in the shadows of our nation. Americans don’t know enough about communism to see it when it starts here. Writing in the Tablet, Mary Mycio notes that we have “a certain herd immunity to Nazism and fascism.” But not to communism. The Soviet Union fell a long time ago, as people’s memories go. It fell almost 30 years ago. That means that no one under 45 or 50 will have any real memory of communism as a living force in the world. They know...

"Karl Marx, the father of scientific socialism, once wrote that he knew he was born to God but was chosen for hell, author and radio host Dr. David Jeremiah said of many of the 'aha! moments' he experienced in his year-long study of socialism, during which he read everything he could find on the ideology, including what motivated Marx in his ideological writings. "'People don’t realize that Marx’s socialist theories are all based on a fundamental belief in the existence of God, but a hatred and opposition to everything God has taught', Dr. Jeremiah said. “'You know, socialists don’t believe...

In the "German Democratic Republic" they tell the story about a weary old man who tries to gain entrance into the Red Paradise. A Communist Archangel holds him up at the gate and severely cross-questions him: "Where were you born?" "In an ancient bishopric." "What was your citizenship?" "Prussian." "Who was your father?" "A wealthy lawyer." "What was your faith?" "I converted to Christianity." "Not very good. Married? Who was your wife?" "The daughter of an aristocratic Prussian officer and the sister of a Royal Prussian Minister of the Interior who persecuted the Socialists." "Awful. And where did you live...

Cardinal Marx: Pope Francis’ resignation decision a ‘great challenge’Cardinal Reinhard Marx said Thursday that Pope Francis’ decision not to accept his resignation as Catholic archbishop of Munich and Freising is a “great challenge.”Marx made the comment June 10, hours after the Vatican published a letter from the pope asking the 67-year-old cardinal to remain in charge of the archdiocese in southern Germany.“I find the pope’s decision to be a great challenge. After that, simply going back to the agenda cannot be the way for me and also not for the archdiocese,” he said in a statement on the archdiocese’s website.CNA...

Read: Letter from Pope Francis rejecting Cardinal Marx's resignationDear brother,First of all thank you for your courage. It is a Christian courage that does not fear the cross, it does not fear annihilating itself before the tremendous reality of sin. This is what the Lord did (Phil 2. 5-8). It is a grace that the Lord has given you and I see that you want to assume and guard it so that it bears fruit. Thanks.You tell me that you are going through a moment of crisis, and not only you but also the Church in Germany is experiencing it....

Vaticanista: Unlikely That Cardinal Marx Is RetiringIt is not certain that Francis will accept Munich Cardinal Marx’s offered resignation, John Allen writes on CruxNow.com (June 6).But if he does, Marx will continue to hold his positions in the Vatican, including serving as chair of the Council for the Economy. Allen considers the anti-Catholic Cardinal as a "core asset" of Francis because Marx has been an early supporter of Francis' anti-Catholic initiatives like Communion for adulterers.However, Francis might accept Marx's resignation in order not to make the whole thing look like "a political stunt" and because Marx has been traded for...
