VATICAN - The L’Osservatore Romano is the daily newspaper of the Vatican City State. The paper was founded in 1861. It is classified as a semi-official newspaper of the Holy See. Previous popes condemned the evil of communism. Not Pope Francis. This is a confusing time for the Catholic Church. The paper this week praised communist founder Karl Marx. More than a 100 million people were killed by communist regimes in the 20th century.
Several weeks back, Pope Francis was criticized for reportedly claiming “there is no Hell” — a claim he did not deny — and now his own newspaper at the Vatican, L’Osservatore Romano, has published an article that applauds German Cardinal Reinhard Marx for his praise of the founder of Communism, Karl Marx.
In the May 6 article, headlined Marx in controluce (Closer to Marx), Cardinal Reinhard Marx speaks proudly of Karl Marx, who wrote the Communist Manifesto, and whose teaching has been denounced by the Catholic Church and multiple Popes since the 19th century. Karl Marx’s 200th birthday was on May 5, a birthday that Cardinal Marx applauded in an interview last week and said “we should commemorate.”
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
