IS THE POPE A COMMUNIST ?!!
The similarities between catholicism and communism is astounding when one takes the time to properly study each. Both systems were created by power-hungry Jews and just as catholics rely on the Old Testament, dominated by their God, and a New Testament, concerning the life of Jesus, communists have Karl Marx as their chief deity and Vlad Lenin as their messiah. Both "faiths" have their saints and heretics and both have their traitors, the catholics have Judas Iscariot, the communists have Trotsky. Both "religions" have their Headquarters in cities within cities, in mysterious buildings surrounded by high walls. The Vatican is home to a man who claims to speak with the authority of their Saviour. So did the man who ruled the Kremlin for, though an atheist, he claimed spiritual descent from their sainted Lenin. Both faiths have their library of approved writings and their index of forbidden texts. Both believe in confession - the catholic version takes place in a little box in their political indoctrination centres (churches), while the communists have to "fess up" in front of their "comrades" at branch meetings. Both organisations demand iron discipline and unquestioning belief, and both are absolutely brutal to anyone who dares dispute what is laid down by their hierarchy. During their histories, neither the Vatican, nor the Kremlin has hesitated for a moment to destroy any pacifists, although it was usually enough to threaten them with expulsion from their group. Violently expansionist, both have reached out across all nations in their urgent desire of mass conversion. Both faiths have leaders who, while demand harsh lifestyles and strict, rigid behaviour, live lives of absolute luxury and free from "sin". Both have similar attitudes towards morals and sexual behaviour. Both have made use of the public trial, where many "devil-worshippers", as well as "capitalist pigs", were subject to ritual humiliation. You were expected to renounce your legitimate and personal views - or else. Not that confession helped you much in either a Soviet or Salem public trial - you got the "or else" anyway. Having faced false charges and making a false confession, usually while being tortured, the accused then faced a very real execution, either by firing squad or burnt-at-the-stake. All of this was driven by parallel beliefs in a Utopian future, the communists' future on earth, the catholics' future in heaven. Catholics have become experts at brushing off "tiny blemishes", such as The Crusades which killed thousands of Muslims, witch trials, the "plague-of-death" that followed all christian missionaries on their conversion pilgrimages. The savageries of catholicism, the immense atrocities carried out "in Christ's name", are somehow explained away as diversions from "true" christianty. A similar routine of denial was written into communism, so that a devoted member could brush off the political atrocities that led to the Hungarian Revolution, the Tianimen Square massacre in China or massacres ordered by communist dictators in African "third world countries", such as Zaire and Ethiopia...weird isn't it?
