VIVA CRISTO REY!    7/27/2018 0 Comments July 27th, 2018    HITLER'S "FINAL TASK" = DESTRUCTION OF CHURCH
Adolf Hitler, in his own words, described how his "life's FINAL TASK" would be to destroy the Catholic Church. Below is his "Table Talk," from December 13, 1941. "The war will be over one day. I shall then consider that my life's final task will be to solve the religious problem. Only then will the life of the German native be guaranteed once and for all. "I don't interfere in matters of belief. Therefore I can't allow Churchmen to interfere with temporal affairs. The organized lie must be smashed. The State must remain the absolute master. "When I was younger, I thought it was necessary to set about matters with dynamite. I've since realized that there's room for a little subtlety. The rotten branch falls of itself. The final state must be: in St. Peter's Chair, a senile officiant; facing him, a few sinister old women, as gaga and as poor in spirit as anyone could wish. The young and healthy are on our side. Against a Church that identifies itself with the State, as in England, I have nothing to say. But, even so, it's impossible eternally to hold humanity in bondage with lies. After all, it was only between the sixth and eighth centuries that Christianity was imposed on our peoples by princes who had an alliance of interests with the shavelings. Our peoples had previously succeeded in living all right without this religion. I have six divisions of SS composed of men absolutely indifferent in matters of religion. It doesn't prevent them from going to their deaths with serenity in their souls. "Christ was an Aryan, and Saint Paul used his doctrine to mobilize the criminal underworld and thus organize a proto-Bolshevism. This intrusion upon the world marks the end of a long reign, that of the clear Graeco-Latin genius. "What is this God who takes pleasure only in seeing men grovel before Him? Try to picture to yourselves the meaning of the following, quite simple story. God creates the conditions for sin. Later on He succeeds, with the help of the Devil, in causing man to sin. Then He employs a virgin to bring into the world a son who, by His death, will redeem humanity! "I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of Mahomet, but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your lifetime, you used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your death, it will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms, children of an age for the feeding-bottle, and hoary old men. The man of the isles pays homage to the forces of nature. But Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery. A Negro with his tabus is crushingly superior to the human being who seriously believes in Transubstantiation. "I begin to lose all respect for humanity when I think that some people on our side, Ministers or generals, are capable of believing that we cannot triumph without the blessing of the Church. Such a notion is excusable in little children who have learnt nothing else. "For thirty years the Germans tore each other to pieces simply in order to know whether or not they should take Communion in both kinds. There's nothing lower than religious notions like that. From that point of view, one can envy the Japanese. They have a religion which is very simple and brings them into contact with nature. They've succeeded even in taking Christianity and turning it into a religion that's less shocking to the intellect. "By what would you have me replace the Christians' picture of the Beyond? What comes naturally to mankind is the sense of eternity and that sense is at the bottom of every man. The soul and the mind migrate, just as the body returns to nature. Thus life is eternally reborn from life. As for the 'why?' of all that, I feel no need to rack my brains on the subject. The soul is unplumbable. "If there is a God, at the same time as He gives man life He gives him intelligence. By regulating my life according to the understanding that is granted me, I may be mistaken, but I act in good faith. The concrete image of the Beyond that religion forces on me does not stand up to examination. Think of those who look down from on high upon what happens on earth: what a martyrdom for them, to see human beings indefatigably repeating the same gestures, and inevitably the same errors! "In my view, H. S. Chamberlain was mistaken in regarding Christianity as a reality upon the spiritual level. "Man judges everything in relation to himself. What is bigger than himself is big, what is smaller is small. Only one thing is certain, that one is part of the spectacle. Everyone finds his own rôle. Joy exists for everybody. I dream of a state of affairs in which every man would know that he lives and dies for the preservation of the species. It's our duty to encourage that idea: let the man who distinguishes himself in the service of the species be thought worthy of the highest honors. "What a happy inspiration, to have kept the clergy out of the Party! On the 2ist March 1933, at Potsdam, the question was raised: with the Church, or without the Church? I conquered the State despite the malediction pronounced on us by both creeds. On that day, we went directly to the tomb of the kings whilst the others were visiting religious services. Supposing that at that period I'd made a pact with the Churches, I'd today be sharing the lot of the Duce. By nature the Duce is a freethinker, but he decided to choose the path of concessions. For my part, in his place I'd have taken the path of revolution. I'd have entered the Vatican and thrown everybody out—reserving the right to apologize later: 'Excuse me, it was a mistake.' But the result would have been, they'd have been outside! "When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunized against the disease." 7/26/2018 0 Comments July 26th, 2018"Contrary to the prevailing view that the Nazi Party was a radical right-wing movement with only superficial and minimal leftist elements, Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn asserted that Nazism (National Socialism) was a strongly leftist, democratic movement ultimately rooted in the French Revolution that unleashed forces of egalitarianism, conformity, materialism and centralization. "Von Kuehnelt-Leddihn argued that Nazism, fascism, radical-liberalism, and communism were essentially democratic movements, based upon inciting the masses to revolution and intent upon destroying the old forms of society. "Furthermore, von Kuehnelt-Leddihn claimed that all democracy is basically totalitarian and that all democracies eventually degenerate into dictatorships. "He said that it was not the case for 'republics' (the word, for von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, has the meaning of what Aristotle calls πολιτεία), such as Switzerland, or the United States as it was originally intended in its constitution." -- Wiki  7/24/2018 0 Comments July 24th, 2018Quote from Albert Einstein, who praised the Catholic Church as the only institution that stood up to Hitler. From Time Magazine, December 23, 1940, page 38. "Being a lover of freedom, when the revolution came in Germany, I looked to the universities to defend it, knowing that they had always boasted of their devotion to the cause of truth; but, no, the universities immediately were silenced. Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities, were silenced in a few short weeks.... "Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hilter's campaign for suppressing the truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly."    In a letter written by Albert Einstein, appraised by the Antiques Roadshow, Einstein admitted that he said what he was quoted as saying in Time Magazine.
The bottom line is: No matter how much he tried, after the fact, to qualify the quote, he did admit that he said it. Below is the link to the PBS television program. To read the transcript of the appraisal, click on "read appraisal transcript" under the photo of Einstein. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/season/12/las-vegas-nv/appraisals/1943-albert-einstein-letter--200706A19/ TRANSCRIPT: GUEST: I have a letter that Albert Einstein wrote to my father in 1943. In 1940, my father read a “Time Magazine” article that stated that Einstein was quoted as saying that the only social institution that stood up to Nazism was the Christian Church. My father is a Presbyterian minister in a little northern Michigan town called Harbor Springs. APPRAISER: Uh-huh. GUEST: And he quoted Einstein in a sermon, and a member of the congregation wrote my father a letter saying, "Where did you get your information?" So my father wrote “Time Magazine” and “Time Magazine” wrote him back, and I have that letter, too, but they didn't give the source, so my father wrote Einstein and he wrote back, saying, yes, he did say that the Christian Church was standing up to Hitler and Nazism. APPRAISER: I love this story for a lot of reasons. One, it's about your dad checking his references, GUEST: Mm-hmm. APPRAISER: checking his facts, and how important it is to get your references right. He goes to the first reference—“Time Magazine.” GUEST: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. APPRAISER: He doesn't get a good answer and he goes beyond that. GUEST: Mm-hmm... exactly. APPRAISER: The second reason I really like this story is that your dad kept all the supporting material... GUEST: Mm-hmm. APPRAISER: ...behind the letter that he eventually got from Einstein confirming, "Yes, I did say this about the Christian Church. It is the only social institution that could stand up to the Nazi regime." So the first letter I have in this stack is the letter from the parishioner, who says, "Where'd that quote come from?" GUEST: Mm-hmm. APPRAISER: And then the second letter is the letter from “Time Magazine.” They're kind of hedging their bets. GUEST: Mm-hmm. APPRAISER: I love that they can't really confirm it... GUEST: Right. APPRAISER: ...but they won't deny it. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, he said it, he said it." And then the third thing. Even though he kept all of this original primary support material, your dad took the time to write a three- or four-paragraph essay in which he explains the story behind the Albert Einstein letter. GUEST: Right, mm-hmm. APPRAISER: This is terrific; I mean, if I could get one message across to people who own historical manuscripts, who own letters from famous people, who own archives, and the people who know the story behind them, it would be: please just take five minutes and write it down for the next generation. Because even though everybody knows it today... GUEST: Mm-hmm. APPRAISER: ...there is a really good chance that the oral tradition will not survive with the paper. GUEST: Exactly. APPRAISER: If you had brought this letter in without the supporting documents, I would have looked at it, and it says, "It's true that I made a statement which corresponds approximately with the text you quoted. I made this statement during the first years of the Nazi regime-- much earlier than 1940-- and my expressions were a little more moderate." And I would say, "Well, that's a nice typed letter from Einstein, says something about Nazis," but I wouldn't really know what he was talking about... GUEST: Right. APPRAISER: ...if your father had not saved all the material that is appropriate to it. Have you ever had this Einstein letter appraised? GUEST: Never. APPRAISER: Well, it's on just typing paper. He used to blind stamp his return address, and it's typed and then signed here. Normally, a run-of-the-mill typed Einstein letter from this period is about $1,500 at auction. GUEST: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. APPRAISER: But with this fantastic story behind it, a $1,500 letter becomes... a $5,000 letter. GUEST: Wow. 7/20/2018 0 Comments July 20th, 2018Those who claim that Christ was a Socialist are claiming rotten fruit from the rotten tree of Liberation Theology -- which has been CONDEMNED BY THE CHURCH!  7/19/2018 0 Comments July 19th, 2018    German Socialists arrested Father Władysław Demski with 33 other Inowrocław priests, on November 2, 1939, after the men were invited by the invaders to discuss how the priests were to conduct their religious duties during the war.
The German Socialists were implementing the Intelligenzaktion, the Intelligence Action, the plan to exterminate Polish intellectuals. Eventually shipped to Stuffhof and then Sachsenhausen, Father Demski suffered from torture, starvation, exhaustion and exposure. One day SS guards went through his clothing and from one of the pockets fell a rosary, which the priest was ordered to stomp on. He refused. A guard threw the rosary into the mud and ordered the priest to kiss the rosary, which he did, and as he kneeled down and leaned over, guards kicked him and beat him with a stick. Two days later, on May 28, 1940, he perished from the injuries. VIVA CRISTO REY!

Soon an additional 80 priests, from Pomerania, were also arrested and held captive in the monastery, but a dozen or so of them were shot in a nearby forest. Eventually transported, via cattle car, to Sachsenhausen, Father Kubista, who had suffered starvation, exhaustion and exposure, developed pneumonia upon arrival to the camp. The sadistic guards threw him into the latrine, where he remained for three days, after which he could no longer stand or walk. At roll call, on April 26, 1940, he lay on the hard plank floor as the other prisoners stood at attention. "You have nothing to live for," said the kapo, a prisoner, a German and a professional criminal. Then he walked over to the priest and stood with one foot on his chest and the other on his throat until he crushed the bones in Father Kubista's chest and throat. VIVA CRISTO REY!

On Good Friday, barely alive, Father Dankowski arrived at morning roll call with the beam upon his shoulders. Later, at the work site, the kapo accused him of evading work. The kapo and other Germans began to torture the priest, kicking and punching him and crowning him with a crown of barbed wire. Unable to walk, Father Dankowski, with the beam on his shoulders, was carried back to the barracks, where he died, with the beam still on his shoulders, on April, 3, 1942. VIVA CRISTO REY!
