Environmental alarmism rules the day in Rome.

While a lot of attention has been focused on Pope Francis and his pro-globalist climate alarmism, it might be good to step back and look at the Vatican's history in this area.

Back in 2007, under Pope Benedict, not Pope Francis, the Vatican signed a deal to offset its carbon emissions output by planting a forest in Hungary. They went worldwide because the Vatican, which besides being the physical center of the Church, is also the world's smallest country and was signing up to be the world's first so-called carbon-neutral nation.

Much ballyhoo surrounded the photo op when the developer of the company to plant the forest presented the certificate of award to curial Cdl. Paul Poupard on July 5, 2007. The Vatican was about to make history and was advancing the nonsense of climate alarmism.

...

And so it goes all over the Green New Deal world of the socialists in D.C. who have diverted hundreds and hundreds of billions and billions in U.S. tax money into an industry that is collapsing, an industry not propped up because of science but ideology.

As reality begins to set in, the chairman of Toyota began to politely rub it in the faces of automotive competitors a short while ago. This was when he said publicly about their massive losses that "people are finally seeing reality," which is Japanese for "I told you so." The green economy is phony because the science behind it is phony.

Bella Dodd and the Communist Infiltration of the Church — The Vortex

Former Marxist devoted life to exposing the subversion of the Church.

As the Soviet Union communists penetrated major institutions in the United States, including the Church, some of their espionage activities started coming to the surface. Many people are already familiar with the notorious case of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and their stealing of the atomic bomb secrets for the Soviets.

But that was specific government infiltration to get at military information to neutralize the United States' atomic advantage. What was not as widely known was the deep penetration into other aspects of American life — specifically religion.

In sworn testimony before the U.S. Congress in 1953, former communist (turned Catholic revert) Bella Dodd broadly outlined the Soviet plan for working with Catholics:

At different times in the history of the Communist Party, they emphasized the fact that it was possible for you to be religious and, at the same time, communist. But those were the periods in which they were trying to win over larger numbers of, let's say, Catholic trade-unionists, Catholic workers, and so forth and so on. Those were the periods which were called the periods of extending the hand of communism to the people in the religious groups. What you did was to say substantially this: 'These men have a blind spot. They believe in God, but we communists know that there is no God. But in order to get them to work with us, we will work with them on a minimum program.' As a matter of fact, even when you were in the Communist Party, the Communist Party from time to time established committees like the — there was a committee on Catholics for Human Rights, which consisted of communists who had been Catholics, whose purpose it was to work with mass organizations which had a large number of Catholics.

It would be incorrect to think of Soviet communist infiltration into the world of Catholicism as some cloak-and-dagger effort with thousands of secret agents wandering the halls of seminaries with decoder rings and midnight liaisons, for example. The much larger, by far and away, effort was made by simply targeting certain individuals as well as leaders of various groups who could be persuaded that at least in many areas, Catholics and communists have common goals they could work on together (for the betterment of mankind, you know).

In short, they tricked them, finding a "soft spot" or "blind spot" they could capitalize on down the road. And they did. They hunted out what we could term "sympathizers." Dodd and other former communists all came forward in those early years of the 1950s and testified the same thing — that it was not really secret communists planted all over religious and other institutions, but associations made where the commies could convince their targets they could, and should, work together.

The strategy to enlist sympathizers paid off handsomely. Why take the chance of having spies uncovered in colleges and media and churches when "locals" could do your dirty work for you? As we see looking around now, in the Church specifically, it worked like a charm. There may be here or there, in key roles in the Church, truly committed communists, but that's nowhere near as effective as having hundreds if not thousands of brainwashed useful idiots spouting your "social justice" vocabulary for you.

Have the Chinese Bought Off the Vatican? | The Vortex

Climate Change, the Vatican and the Communist party.

Like a taste of some international intrigue and how the phony science engendering environmental alarmism is at the heart of it? OK, then sit back and follow the bouncing ball. We're going to bring together some seemingly unrelated points in this Vortex.

But the big picture is that China is a communist nation and wants control of the planet. Let's start there. Easy enough. Its major opposition, of course, is the United States, which must be weakened and neutralized. Again, easy enough. So let's look at how it is going about this, and for that, we will turn our attention first to Europe.

In order for China to gain entry to the halls of power in European capitals, it needs "access." This is where Italy comes in. For the past decade or so, China has poured thousands of Chinese nationals into the Italian nation, predominantly in a multitude of industries in northern Italy. That little tidbit came out at the beginning of the pandemic as people were asking why Italy was hit so hard by the virus.

China's two-pronged plan — global domination by influencing European politics and weakening America — is detailed quite extensively in a recent book entitled Red Contagion: How Italy Has Become China's Trojan Horse in the West. The author is Francesco Galietti, a highly respected and much sought-after business consultant who founded Policy Sonar, an outfit that tracks, among other things, massive movements of money around the globe through multiple hedge funds.

In his book, he details how China targeted Italy as the "soft underbelly" path into European politics, specifically because of the heavy involvement of the Vatican in Italian politics. For the Chinese, it would be the Vatican that would prove to be the access point to Italy — and from there, the rest of Europe.

A political earthquake erupts in a Catholic stronghold.

Just our quick reminder, Church Militant is on the ground in Rome covering the synod, bringing you every bit of what you need to know each day. Our Rome correspondent, Jules Gomes, reviews the day's happenings on Church Militant's rome dispatch, hosted here in Detroit by our own Brad Eli every weekday. We're providing a link to rome dispatch here in the Vortex every day for the month of October.

Don't miss a single episode of rome dispatch, a one-stop shopping for you each day on all the news from the synod, concise and straightforward.

Now, little by little and, occasionally, like November three years ago, big by big, the Left advances relentlessly. And by "the Left," we mean specifically communism. It goes by those multiple names of "globalism," "socialism," "Marxism" — call it whatever you want, but, in the end, it's communism.

And the latest showpiece for them? Poland. Yep, Catholic Poland, quickly on its way to becoming formerly Catholic Poland.

When John Paul was elected in 1978, almost the entire nation identified as Catholic, over 95%. But that was then, almost half a century ago, while the nation was subjected to forced communism by the Kremlin and its puppet regime in Warsaw. Today, that number has dipped significantly, to just 70%.

And while that's obviously a majority, you've got to wonder, based on this past Sunday's election results for the Polish Parliament, if there's a case of nominal Catholicism there, like all other formerly Catholic populations in multiple countries.

The election results, which are still rolling in, indicate a measurable move away from conservative politics — a definitive shifting to the left. Remember, unlike here in the United States, the parliamentary system largely relies on more than just two parties forming coalitions to seize a majority-type control. So while one party, in this case the Conservative Law and Justice Party, did get a plurality of votes, the most cast for any single party, it did not get the majority.

When you add together all the nonconservative, meaning left-leaning, meaning pro-socialist, that coalition won the majority of seats. And that is a political earthquake in Poland. Yes, they will have policy differences among themselves, just like the Democrats here in the United States do, but make no mistake, they are in lockstep when in comes to their worldviews. What divides them is tactics, not ideology.

...

The martyrs of the Roman persecutions were the exception, not the rule. In fact, whenever the people are faced with a choice, they almost always vote to save their own butts first, so they go along. Just look at Reformation England if you need a case example. Not only did the people fold under the persecution of Henry and, eventually, Elizabeth, his daughter; the entire exodus of apostasy was led by the bishops.

Sound familiar?

The communist movement has made itself as clear as any force in history that its goal is world domination through democratically elected governments' political processes. Once you vote them in, as the saying goes, the only way out is to shoot your way out.

It's as clear as crystal that the world is careening toward something huge, colossal. There are simply too many forces all converging for something foundation-altering not to happen. You can feel it in your bones.

Thanks, Obama and Biden.

Just a brief reminder, Church Militant is on the ground in Rome bringing you every bit of what you need to know about the synod every weekday. Our Rome correspondent Jules Gomes reviews the day's happenings on Church Militant's rome dispatch, hosted here in Detroit by our own Brad Eli.

Don't miss a single episode of rome dispatch, a one-stop shopping for you each day on all the news from the synod, concise and straightforward.

Now, as of this recording on Friday afternoon, there are knife attacks in China and France, hundreds marching on the Israeli border in Jordan and Americans fearful of sending their kids to school, all due to Muslim terror group Hamas' promised "day of rage."

A point to note: It is in America's large exclusively-Democrat-run cities where fears have run most high and police departments are on extra high alert — New York, for example. Now why would that be? The Democrats have styled themselves as the open-borders party, because they are.

Since Biden took office, an estimated (because no one really knows, which is scary all by itself) 5–7 million illegals have crossed over. And no one really knows where or who they are. There are simply no controls in place, and what few there are, are routinely ignored.

As the war in Gaza kicks into high gear, captured documents by Israeli soldiers reveal a massively coordinated and well-planned attack by Hamas — and get this, two years in the planning, coinciding with Biden's becoming president.

It would be politically nuts to think that among those millions, there are not a few thousand (at the minimum) that are Muslim terrorists. Heck, isn't that the entire reason a nation has borders to begin with, to keep out those it does not want in?

But the Democrats have thrown the doors wide open, and anything that happens as a result is on them. It's true the GOP has been lackluster, despite all the bluster about the borders, in closing them down.

Two geographic centers for Catholics in the New World.

I'm Michael Voris coming to you from on board our fall Retreat at Sea, trekking along the New England Coast and focusing on the very beginnings of Catholicism here in the United States.

There really are two geographical centers of Catholic introduction to the New World. One was the Deep South, meaning the Gulf Coast area and extending further south into the Caribbean, Mexico and so forth.

Then there is the Atlantic Seaboard area. What may perhaps be a little note many Catholics don't know is this — neither area was especially "Catholic" in the way we might first think of it. For example, almost 200 years after Columbus landed in the modern-day Bahamas in 1492, the Catholic population of the New World was pretty tiny.

And especially in the English colonies (with their noted hatred for Catholics), the population was beyond meager in terms of numbers.

...

The southern colonies of Maryland, Virginia, Carolina and Georgia all had the established Church of England as the State religion. Only in Maryland was there breathing space for Catholics.

Maryland was founded in 1634 as a colony by Lord Baltimore for Catholics in England seeking refuge from persecution. So religious tolerance was granted, but it was a tolerance that permitted huge numbers of Protestants to flow in.

Eventually, they captured the House of Delegates in 1649, and tolerance for Catholics was brought to an end. Catholics were despised, persecuted and had laws erected against them in the colonial days.

For example, in Virginia, if a Catholic sought public office, he could be arrested, charged and fined 1,000 pounds of tobacco. In Maryland, it was illegal for a couple to be married by a Catholic priest. And so the list goes on, up and down the colonies.

In 11 of the 13 original colonies, Catholics were legally maltreated. And on a point of order here, it was not largely owing to dogma and doctrinal differences. It was the idea that the pope was a sovereign ruler as well, and the belief he would try to extend his rule to them as well.

Catholics begin it; Protestants end it.

I'm coming to you from our Fall Retreat at Sea, where our theme is "Catholics were here first" — meaning the New World — specifically, the lands that eventually became the United States.

However, despite the arrival of both Spanish and French Catholic explorers at roughly the same time, it was the British Protestants that prevailed in overrunning the eastern seaboard and eventually the continent. Why?

Catholics were here almost 100 years earlier, so you'd think that with a gigantic head start like that the Protestants wouldn't have stood a chance. The answer lies in the history of the circumstances.

Antonio Gramsci's anti-Catholic plan proved Joseph Stalin wrong.

In order for communism to succeed in the West, a massive deconstruction, a demolishing of the culture, would have to occur. However, the commies were not operating in a vacuum, and they knew it. You can't just blow into town and start uprooting everything.

Perhaps a better way to visualize this would be to think in terms of tipping the scales. When one side is greatly lower, you can get the scales to tip by either just adding more weight to the other side or slowly adding more weight while at the same time subtracting weight from the opposite side.

Of course, the second method requires more time and patience and planning, but, at the end, it is the more effective way to actually flip the scales. This was the plan the communists put into effect.

Ultimately, it was all about transforming society slowly, methodically and extremely effectively, so that as one generation gave way to the next, the transformation would hardly be noticeable. It was an extremely ambitious and, most importantly, wide-ranging strategy, one that required capturing various institutions of society at approximately the same time.

If you think in terms of, say, planning a big meal with all sorts of dishes, you need to make sure that the timing is right — all the food has to hit the table at the same time.

Because they are different dishes, some require much advance prep work; others, not as much. But they all need to come off the stove and out of the oven at the same instant. Well, the same is true of the commie plan to undermine the culture.

What all the institutions actually had in common was their at least tacit acceptance of Christian principles (and, specifically, Catholic principles) on how a well-ordered society should run and look.

Gramsci clashed with Joseph Stalin on the issue of what was the greater challenge to creating the "workers' paradise," capitalism or the Catholic Church. For Gramsci, it was clear: Catholicism, because he understood the vital knitting together of the other institutions relied on the underlying view of man promoted and taught by the Church.
