Papal Cattocomunismo (Italian Reds)

by Hilary White

Papal Cattocomunismo didn’t come from nowhere.

Something Americans are often surprised by when they come to live in Italy is the prominence of and acceptance of Communism. In the US, the mere application of the expression "liberal" is taken as a grave political slight, and the assumption is still made by most that full-on, hammer-and-sickle, brand-name Communism is a dead letter. Went down with the Berlin Wall in 1991. They are shocked when they come across the seas of hammer and sickle flags waved at "Gay Pride" parades and political "manifestazione," and at the unabashed association of leftist priests with openly and proudly Marxist community organisations, called "Social Centres".

But Italians are well acquainted with the presence of Communist elements in their polity and in the Church, and aren’t shy about calling it what it is. And they also know that the moral scandals of the leftists are always, always tied together with money: outrageously corrupt officials, closely inter-related "aid" organisations like Caritas Internationalis with internationalist, Soros-backed NGOs, the mafia and the bankers, all looking for a cut.

A case in point: This is Don Paolo Farinella, one of the more notorious of the Cattocomunisti priests who goes out of his way in newspaper op-eds to make a public spectacle of his apostasy and vicious hatred of the Faith as well as contempt for believers, always while pulling a long mournful face about "the poor" - that in Italy right now always equals "migrants".

His latest look-how-holy-I-am political stunt is to announce yesterday that

he will be closing his parish over Christmas out of "conscience" and objection to Salvini’s migrant repatriation policy.

Cattocomunisto priest cancels all Christmas observances, instead announcing he will close his Genoa parish in protest against Salvini’s migrant policies.

By what right can Christians claim to celebrate the Christmas of that Jesus that their country, without any resistance or protest, expels as a man in the Son of God? Should not the bishops with their precious clothes go in search of Jesus rejected and voted to death?

How can you open the churches and play with lullabies, "You come down from the stars", Gregorian chants, wicked nativity scenes, when outside the true Christ

1 The chronic poverty of Italians – even those with jobs – is of little concern to the Cattocomunisti clergy and bishops for whom the narrative requires a perpetual conflict between victim and oppressor classes. The communist narrative says that if you’re Italian you’re an oppressor unless you kow tow and demonstrate that you’re willing to destroy your own country as an act of political penance. Bishops demonstrate their non-oppressor status by oppressing Italian poor people in favour of African migrants. Reports have made the papers of disabled Italians being thrown out of diocesan-subsidised housing to make room for the favoured victim groups.

is offended, tortured, raped, reviled, sold, slapped, killed, like the " man of sorrows "of Isaiah prophet? ( Is 53).

The church of San Torpete in Genoa for this Christmas will be closed because it is a Christmas without Christ, a Christmas without God because Christmas without Man.

This kind of political stunt from the cattocomunisti filth is not uncommon here.

"Don Farinella is the pretonzolo [derogatory term for a priest of poor preparation and limited intelligence] who admits blasphemy in the church, but not the nativity scene. A communist priest, a bit Islamized, who a few years ago greeted positively the initiative of Don Prospero Bonzani, [known for forbidding his parishioners from making the sign of the Cross because it might "offend" Muslims] who had inserted a mosque in the crib of the parish of Via Vesuvio.

"This year the same initiative is repeated as in 2015: no Mass and church closed at Christmas : this is the decision of the parish priest of San Torpete, a parish in the heart of central-eastern Genoa, to protest against the security decree. The priest claims to send a message to those Catholics who "praising Salvini, an uncultivated man, without any sense of the state and of law, are accomplices of injustice humanity and of ‘deicide’".

And as always, he goes unchecked and uncorrected by his worthless bishop, "conservative" Angelo Cardinal Bagnasco, who a few years ago presided at the funeral Mass of another notorious communist priest, Don Gallo and gave Holy Communion to Italy’s leading "LGBT activist," a transvestite who calls himself "Vladimir Luxuria" (meaning "lust" in Latin. ) But hey, if you feel like wasting your energies, by all means contact him and tell him what you think.

Cattocomunismo, as it is called, is not exactly a secret in this country, and I think it’s such a useful term that it should start getting used more often overseas.

Here in Il Giornale it is called out by name, as happens often in Italian editorials.

"The hypocrisy of the cattocomunista"

"On TV [the Catholic and secular agencies bringing migrants in] call the refugees "migrant brothers" with a contrite face, but on the phone they talk about them as the ‘negri da spellare.’" [lit. "negros to peel" or "strip" - ie: to exploit to generate cash] Here Il Giornale’s Alessandro Sallusti says what everyone in the country knows: that migrants are big, big, BIG business, worth hundreds of millions of Euros to whoever can pack the most into Italy. This is why Caritas Internationalis and the Italian bishops’ conference are so keen to make sure there is a 20 year old African beggar standing in front of every supermarket in the country, no matter how tiny or remote the village: they get paid by the head.

The ideological advantage of frightening little old ladies - "gang rape" having gone from a dark rumour about other, more backward countries to a daily feature of European newspaper headlines - and cowing the populace in general with the message that what they might want or not want for their communities is unimportant - is just an added sidebenefit. If the little old parish ladies complain they no longer feel safe walking the 150 meters from their Thursday night parish Rosary group to their homes, you can have the added fun of calling them racists.

And this being Italy, we always have to remember that where the money is pouring, there you will find the mafia arriving with their buckets. As Sallusti reminds us: "These are not, as written yesterday by someone, ‘the hands of the mafia on the skin of immigrants,’ because the

hands of the mafia are always and everywhere money circulates."

And let us not forget that the price being paid by the migrants themselves is considerably higher than a few thousand Euros in cash. Tens of thousands are estimated to have lost their lives attempting to make the Mediterranean crossing, encouraged by the pope, paid out of their pockets to an enthusiastic and growing community of criminal traffickers. (Who, by the way, have also revived a rip-roaring slave trade as a side benefit.) Indeed it is becoming difficult to distinguish between the Mafia and the Ecclesia. And unsurprising that a man like Brett Ligon would refer without scruple to a large Catholic diocese as a "criminal organisation." As Montgomery County District Attorney, Ligon’s office ordered a police raid recently on the Archdiocese of Houston chancery, looking for evidence of criminal coverups of criminal abuser-priests.

"We are treating the Catholic Church in the same way we’d treat a bank that has records; in the way that we’d treat a criminal enterprise," Ligon said. And it’s why there was such a rousing cheer from Catholics when he added, "I know that he’s probably not pleased at all, but it’s not my job to please the cardinal."

This is all simply to explain why guys like Blase Cupich are so popular in Rome right now. He’s got the bead on the Italian-Vatican ecclesiastical mindset; we shouldn’t be going "down a rabbit hole" on this sexy-stuff when there’s migrants and the environment to talk about. They talk a lot of editorial nonsense for interviews about the sad plight of the poor darling little migrants; but the real issues are a good deal more concrete, mostly involving very large amounts of cash. Those are the issues that interest the pope because they’re what interest his financial and political backers in places like Brussels, Zurich, Vienna and Berlin.

And it’s why notoriously corrupt Cattocomunismi characters like José Rodríguez Carballo - the prelate currently working on destroying the contemplative religious life, who was Bergoglio’s very first appointment in 2013 - are always, always tied up with criminal financial scandals.

One of the leading Vatican bureaucrats who fights against the Friars is Archbishop José Rodríguez Carballo OFM, the secretary of the Congregation for the Religious, a Francis intimate, who was one of the main protagonists of the huge financial scandal hitting the Franciscans (OFM) in December 2014. The scandal was quickly hushed up.

Because Carballo is a radical-liberal, nobody touched him, on the contrary, Francis promoted him to become an archbishop.

The hints that the persecution of religious orders is closely connected to their assets are abundant. Here is Cardinal João Braz de Aviz, Prefect of the Congregation for Religious, talking about the "knots" in the religious life that need to be "untied" by "reform".

First, the cardinal spoke to the vow of poverty: Many religious possess millions in assets, such as deposits with the Vatican Bank IOR, half of whose deposits belongs to Orders.

He spoke of an order with a religious

vow of poverty which, without saying who the Order is, has 30 million in the bank.

That number - 30 million Euros - keeps cropping up again and again. In this case it is clear that the good Cattocomunista cardinal prefect was referring to the Franciscans of the Immaculate, since Marco Tosatti informed us that this was the amount that the Congregation for Religious is still trying to squeeze out of the order - an effort that has been frustrated so far by the Italian courts.

Imagine having the Italian litigation courts chastising you for corruption...

just wrap your head around that one for a second... (30 million Euros was also, incidentally, the amount that was reported to have been paid to Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State and reportedly a rival of Bergoglio, for his help with the coup staged by the Boeselager faction in the Knights of Malta, something I’ve personally been warned against talking about too much.

It was also close to this amount that was reported to have been demanded by Bergoglio from the Papal Foundation; $25 million US. Yes, it is funny how often that particular figure pops up in the news. One might almost suspect it was named by one of the Vatican’s "financial experts" as what it costs to win a Conclave... if one were feeling particularly cynical.) "Anglosassone" Catholics like you and me, particularly Americani, who believe it isn’t outrageous to expect clergy to act in accordance with Catholic moral teaching, are looked upon as hopelessly credulous dupes by most ranking Italian prelates. Always getting our wee heads into incomprehensible tizzies over trivialities like a few kids getting abused by priests, as if everyone doesn’t know that is something that has gone on for centuries. Regrettable, if they didn’t like it, but not that big a deal.

Bigger fish to fry, right? Bigger fruit to peel... Migrants, for instance. ■
