Look up and read “AA-1025” when you get a chance. Fiction might be closer to truth than otherwise imagined.
There are numerous links to it online.
It wasn’t Stalin’s priests that corrupted the Church. The Church was corrupted by heretic Marxist theologians who equated communist social theory with the teachings of Jesus regarding treatment of the poor and hostility to the rich and pompous. It should be added that a large percentage of these “theologians” were and are homosexuals. Vatican II resulted in the “tolerance” within the Church that allowed these vile heretics to dominate. Prior to Vatican II they would have been purged and thrown out of the temple. Stalin would be astonished if he saw how the Church self destructed.
Stalin would have had a tough time had he tried to infiltrate the Catholic Church. Popes Pius XI and XII, who presided over the church at the same time Stalin ruled the Soviet Union, were both anti-Communist and ran a tight ship.
Interesting in that last night I viewed this “Louder with Crowder” video. He’s a comedian social/political commentator, who I think bit off more than he could chew on this one, like a dog that caught the car?
