”Den medvetna och intelligenta manipulationen av massornas organiserade vanor och åsikter är ett viktigt element i det demokratiska samhället. De som manipulerar denna osedda samhällsmekanism utgör en osynlig regering som är vårt lands verkliga styrande makt. Det viktiga är att propagandan är universell och fortlöpande; och i sin fullständighet likriktar den allmänhetens sinnen precis lika mycket som en armé likriktar sina soldater.”
Ur Edward Bernays bok ”Propaganda” från 1928.
”Den som förleder en av dessa små som tror på mig, för honom vore det bäst om han fick en kvarnsten hängd om halsen och sänktes i havets djup”
(Matt 18:6)
”That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error.”
Pope St. Pius X, Vehementor Nos”Paganism is as old as human history. In one sentence, paganism is a culture of untruth.”
Fr John Hardon S.J.”Now, tell me whether, when you enter church to hear Mass, you thoroughly well consider that you are going up as it were to Calvary, to be present at the death of the Redeemer… Wickedness is hideous at any time, and in any place; but sins committed during the time of Mass, and before the altar, draw down after them the curse of God.”
St. Leonard-Port Maurice”Accumulating knowledge is a form of avarice and lends itself to another version of the Midas story …man [is] so avid for knowledge that everything that he touches turns to facts; his faith becomes theology; his love becomes lechery; his wisdom becomes science; pursuing meaning, he ignores truth.”
Malcolm Muggeridge”To understand how indispensable the Eucharist is to the practice of Christian chastity is to understand the meaning of Christianity. When Christ told us, ”Without me, you can do nothing,” He meant this to be taken literally. Without the constant help of His grace to enlighten our darkened minds and strengthen our weak wills, all the moral precepts of the New Testament are so much pious rhetoric or religious jargon.”
Fr John Hardon”Individual liberty, freed from all bonds and all laws, all objective and social values, is in reality only a death-dealing anarchy.”
Pope Pius XIII”Whatever a man seeks, honors, or exalts more than God, that is the god of his idolatry”
Archb. UllathorneWHAT IS AGAINST TRUTH CANNOT BE JUST.
St Augustine”No one can be, at the same time, a sincere Catholic and a true socialist.”
Pope Pius XI”Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.”
G.K. Chesterton”Socialists, Communists and Nihilists…strive to uproot the foundations of civilized society.”
Pope Leo XIII”How I hate this folly of not believing in the Eucharist, etc.! If the gospel be true, if Jesus Christ be God, what difficulty is there?”
Pascal”The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.”
Flannery O’Connor
