On October 7, 1953, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, during the consecration of the Fatima Basilica, the Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal Cerejeira, delivered a speech in which he described Fatima as " a wonderful anti-Russia. Russia has taken on the role of anti-Rome, or rather, the Rome of the Antichrist. It is leading the attack of militant atheism against the Christian Church in the world. It desires to destroy the Kingdom of God on earth. It professes the blasphemous Gospel – the salvation of man by his own efforts, without Christ." Kontekst fatimski (5)
FYI, Fr. Michel de la Sainte Trinite is quoting the above speech in Appendix III of his Whole Truth About Fatima, vol. III after: Obras pastorais of Cardinal Cerejeira, volume IV
Catholics shouldn't be cross posting Russian propaganda. Isn't that a sin against the Faith?
The KGB’s “active measures” didn’t die with the Soviet Union—they evolved. When Russia abandoned communist ideology publicly, it freed Kremlin propagandists to become “much more ecumenical in devising propaganda and disinformation themes,” using diverse tactics and language patterns to target both left and right.
The question of Russia from the Catholic point of view is quite simple and confirmed by Our Lady of Fatima message. Russia is to be converted, not to be a role model/exemplar/true alternative for the apostasy in the West. Eastern schism (mixed with some heresies) and its tsaropapism is not the alternative for post-conciliar-synodal revolution desolating the Church in the West.

Col. Douglas Macgregor, who has been consistently pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine in that war has been consistently wrong in his claims of Ukraine’s early demise, yet he has now created a series of scripted videos where he makes dramatic and suspicious claims. It appears to be a new tactic to gain some credibility on the internet which has become tired of his failed pro-Russian message. My main problem with his claims is the telltale issue that I always ask when a person is claiming super secret insider information, “How could he know what he is claiming?” and, it was real, why would his insider sources let him broadcast it to the world?
I am posting a link to a great conversation refuting @ Instaurare Omnia in Christo. Please read it for a Catholic analysis of the Russian propaganda posted on GTV! Thanks! Father Gruner
As for today - the rules are the same. I have nothing against simple Russians but it does not mean the Catholic world should see Russia of Putin (the product of schismatic tsaropapal pseudo-messianic imperialism and Sovietism) as an ally or - even, as some lunatics think - the political messiah (savior of the fallen West).
@frawley " I do not consider the farmers, shopkeepers, doctors, nurses, laborers, teachers ect of the former soviet union my "enemies"." -- What shopkeepers and farmers are you talking about? Do you mean sovkhozes and state-owned Soviet retailing system? Now, you are not entering into alliances with simple kolkhozniks and factory workers, are you? You enter into the alliance with the State representing one or another civilization (or anti-civilization). BTW, the US propaganda during Roosevelt times to silence Catholic criticism against the alliance with Stalin - was just the same as your above proposals - oh, we do not support Stalin or omnivorous bloody communism desiring to devour the whole world but Russians and you cannot have anything against simple Russian babushkas, can you? For the above propaganda machine all the destructive actions and plans of the Soviet Union against the Church, murdering and suffering of Catholic priests and Catholics did not matter. They even tried to force …More

I will be sharing my small library of stories in honor of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki martyrs of Japan in honor of their death and ascent into heaven on August 6th and 9th, 1945.
The Japanese had been attempting to surrender since 1944
@Victor t J. I am glad to hear your dad made it through. What did he do to keep going? Did he pray the Rosary? I can see you do not care about innocent people being killed by weapons of mass destruction. I am celebrating their martyrdom not crying about about them. And exposing the US's immoral plan to destroy the center of Asian Catholicism. Was your dad on board with that?

Die Glocken von Nagasaki (Ausschnitt 2) Noch ein Ausschnitt aus dem Film "Die Glocken von Nagasaki" (Japan 1950) nach dem gleichnamigen Roman des japanischen Katholiken Paul Takashi Nagai. Als am 9. August 1945 um 11 Uhr zwei Minuten über Matsuyama im Zentrum des Urakami-Viertels von Nagasaki eine Atombombe explodierte, blieben nur wenige Menschen, die sich im engeren Explosionskessel befanden, am Leben. Dr. Nagai, der durch eine Betonmauer geschützt war, gehörte zu den wenigen Überlebenden dieses Gebietes. Obwohl er selbst verwundet war, leistete er ununterbrochen Hilfe für all die Opfer in dem weiten Wirkungsumkreis der Bombe. Das ganze Ausmaß des Elends und der Not musste er sehen, musste dem "Entsetzen ins Auge blicken". Als er dann selbst krank geworden war, schrieb er - oft unter großen Schmerzen - den Bericht über die Atombombe ("Die Glocken von Nagasaki"), beschwor er noch einmal die furchtbaren Szenen herauf, denn "er hatte einfach die Aufgabe, diese Geschichte zu erzählen ...…More

Nagasaki was specifically targeted by the US because it was the epicenter of Catholicism in Japan and a threat to their satanic nwo. Our brothers and sisters in Christ are martyrs because of that fact. Let us pray to them and ask for their protection in this trying time!
Thank you for this. I believe it and it is a shame the US did not agree to the Japanese surrender earlier (there would have been no North Korea, and China may have remained free, plus all those lives would have been spared).

One must first understand why wars are fought in the first place. Christian Rakovsky, a founder of Jewish Bolshevism and one of the architects of World War II, was very clear on why that war was fought. First, to punish Germany for printing their own money and prevent their example from spreading to other nations. Second, to prevent Germany's nationalistic spirit from spreading to other nations. Third, and most importantly, to weaken and destroy the Catholic Church. Here are Rakovsky's own words, tape recorded and reprinted in the book Red Symphony by Dr. J. Landowsky "Hitler, this uneducated and elementary man . . . took over for himself the privilege of manufacturing money . . . Are you capable of imagining what would have come of this system if it had infected a number of other states . . . This is very serious. . . . There is only one solution - war. "We have yet another reason, a religious one. Communism cannot be the victor if it will not have suppressed the still living Christianity …More
Russia's most immediate benefit from upgrading ties to North Korea is its ready access to large stockpiles of ammunition. As of late 2024, Russia was firing an average of 10,000 artillery shells a day. To sustain this rate of fire while it increases its domestic production capacity, Russia has turned to North Korea for artillery ammunition and ballistic missiles. According to U.S. officials and observers, North Korea has supplied Russia with millions of artillery and rocket artillery ammunition. According to the May 2025 MSMT report, North Korea also supplied Russia with at least 100 ballistic missiles in 2024 that were "launched into Ukraine to destroy civilian infrastructure and terrorize populated areas."congress.gov/crs-product/IF12760
