"The perfection of the universe requires that there should be not only beings incorruptible, but also corruptible beings; so the perfection of the universe requires that there should be some which can fail in goodness, and thence it follows that sometimes they do fail." -- Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) 11/13/2019 0 Comments November 13th, 2019Juilliard Goes to China
By Theresa Marie Moreau First published in American Greatness And now Communist China wants to subjugate America’s traditional culture. The Juilliard School — regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious conservatories, deeply rooted in European music — has partnered with the People’s Republic of China. Currently under construction is the Manhattan school’s satellite campus in the port city of Tianjin, just an hour from Beijing, seat of the Communist Party’s totalitarian regime. This is the same totalitarian regime responsible for the extermination and deaths of an underestimated 77 million (and counting) of its own people since officially grabbing the whip of power on the mainland, October 1, 1949. This is the same totalitarian regime that promotes a pseudo-sociology that has incited class warfare and liquidated Chinese intellectuals, such as teachers, theologians, philosophers, writers, artists and musicians — all for the nightmarish goal of restructuring its own society. This is the same totalitarian regime that still imprisons, tortures, brainwashes and enslaves ideological dissenters, thought criminals deemed worse than hardened, violent criminals. What could possibly sway Juilliard to build a campus overseen by the Communist Party — a deadly branch in the bloody Socialist tree — one of the most savage in history. Money. Juilliard opened in 1905 as the New York Institute of Musical Art, founded by Frank Damrosch (1859-1937), who had wanted to promote in the New World the classical music of the Old World, with its cultivated, advanced structure and theory. Fast forward to the 1990s. During Joseph W. Polisi’s (born 1947) stint as Juilliard president from 1984 to 2018, he concentrated on transforming the campus to one of social consciousness; meanwhile, school funds diminished, and Mr. Polisi had to go begging for cash. Not surprisingly, the Communist Chinese were more than willing to accommodate. But Communists never do anything altruistically. It conflicts with their revolutionary nature. According to the school’s Web site, the graduate studies program of The Tianjin Juilliard School (notice which name takes precedence) is scheduled to open in 2020 and will offer a Master of Music degree, fully accredited by the United States of America, with majors in chamber music, collaborative piano and orchestral studies. Chamber music? Collaborative piano? Orchestral studies? Such concentrations in the art of time are from the heart of Christendom, the ideological enemy of Chinese Communists, who have persecuted, tortured, executed and martyred Catholics since the 1920s, shortly after the founding of the Communist Party of China, in 1921. It was none other than the Roman Catholic Church — a great patron of the arts, for the glory of God — that created the foundation of classical music with its four-line staff and that served in the development of melody, harmony, syncopation and counterpoint. Seemingly counterrevolutionary to revolutionary principles, how is it possible for a Socialist State ruled by the Communist Party to promote liturgical music of the Holy Mass, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756-91) Requiem in D minor; Or Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s (1644-1704) contemplative Rosary Sonatas, prayers to the Virgin Mary, the Holy Mother of Jesus Christ; Or works of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), who dedicated his finished pieces to God with the initialism AMDG — Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, To the Greater Glory of God — an homage to God in an abbreviated prayer of thanksgiving. How could a Socialist State — that glorifies atheism and dialectical materialism and demonizes metaphysics and scholasticism — appropriate and misappropriate the elevated music of Christians, by Christians, for Christians. Chronically anti-American and anti-individual freedom, Communist China — with an historical milieu of death and destruction — propagates beliefs contrary to that of America, a nation built on the Christian principle of individualism, the ideology that human rights are intrinsic to the human being, granted by God. It was in the Christian world where the idea developed that the individual, as an individual, has sacred value, for a simple reason: All humans are created in the image of God, as the Catholic Church has taught through the ages. Whereas, in Socialist societies, collectivism is the oppressive, dominant ideology that one does not have rights, but that rights are granted by the State, ruled by a great and glorious leader who speaks for the people. For collectivists, the group is greater than the individual, who must be crushed and sacrificed for the greater good of the greater number. In such a society, individual life has no value except what it can offer the State, and if an individual has nothing to offer the State, then it has no value. Why don’t the Communist Chinese open a school of their own culture. Perhaps it’s because during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-76) the Communists obliterated the centuries-old, rich and textured culture of Imperial China after ordering the eradication of the Four Olds standard of morality: old culture, old customs, old habits and old ideology. Targets included Eastern and Western reactionary words, literature, texts, musical instruments, art, even the desecration of graveyards and corpses. Whatever shred of culture remained was ideologically subjugated and transformed to foster proletarian ideology to serve the State and its propaganda. During the reign of terror, Red Guards — easily manipulated, vengeful, malevolent students — attacked, tortured and murdered teachers and intellectuals, deemed bourgeois, counterrevolutionary, reactionary. Those who survived were often sent to laogai (reform through labor) or laojiao (reeducation through labor) prison slave-labor camps. Academia perished after the regime cancelled classes in primary, secondary and tertiary schools, which remained closed to learning for years. When finally re-opened, schools were under complete control of the Ministry of Education. Obsessed with the engineering and technological feats of the West, the Communists focused its country on industrialization. Science and its language, mathematics, were forced into prominence in the classrooms, with Western art and music completely banished. Because artists and musicians produced nothing for the State, they were classified as bad elements, one of the Nine Categories of Enemies: landlords, rich peasants, counterrevolutionaries, bad elements, rightists, traitors, spies, capitalist roaders and intellectuals, which was the Stinking Ninth. It seems contradictory and hypocritical that the Communist regime’s dictatorship of the proletariat would welcome an institution of bad elements, such as The Juilliard School. And with the regime’s supreme command over all aspects of the Tianjin school, how closely aligned will the Manhattan school be with the Communist Party (notorious for corruption in its ranks) and how approving will it be for the Party to push its ideology of Karl Marx, the Father of Communism, responsible for most of the 20th-century carnage. Why would The Juilliard School partner with a Communist totalitarian government that has proven its hatred for the West, its culture, its Christian heritage. Yes, money. Be careful. For when the Communist Chinese give with the right hand, they smash with the left.

"The world is one because all things must be arranged in one order, and to one end." -- Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) 11/9/2019 0 Comments November 09th, 2019 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." LONG LIVE CHRIST THE KING!
