VATICAN - POPE PIUS XI.

[disgruntledexplainer]

Pope Pius XI always had this face that looked like he was tired of everyone's shit, and it's hilarious.

I mean, given that he was busy writing a series of encyclicals blasting pretty much all of the major economic and political systems active at the time except democracy and monarchy, I would say he had good reason to look so annoyed.

(he wrote Quadragesimo Anno criticizing capitalism, Divini Redemptoris condemning Communism, Non Abbiamo Bisogno criticizing Fascism, and Mit Brennender Sorge condemning Nazism)

White Nationalism isn’t a traditional Christian value.

Just saw some fucking fascist nonsense under the “Catholic” tag (as in they literally tagged it with “fascism”) and I would just like to take this moment to remind everyone that you cannot be a fascist and a good Catholic at the same time.

Reject fascism, friends. They are not our allies, not even if you’re a trad. Our tradition is not a dead one, but a living and life-giving one. Fascism is nothing more than the hollowed-out, rotting carcass of a “tradition” that is long dead and should be left in the grave where it belongs.

[gratiae-mirabilia]

Our God is the Personal God, supernatural, omnipotent, infinitely perfect, one in the Trinity of Persons, tri-personal in the unity of divine essence, the Creator of all existence. Lord, King and ultimate Consummator of the history of the world, who will not, and cannot, tolerate a rival God by His side.

Pope Pius XI, Mit Brennender Sorge

And so then only will true cooperation be possible for a single common good, when the constituent parts of society deeply feel themselves members of one great family and children of the same Heavenly Father; nay, that they are one body in Christ, "but severally members of one another" [Rom 12:5], so that "if one member sufferings anything, all the members suffer with it" [1 Cor 12:26].

Pope Pius XI (Quadragesimo Anno, §137)

Popes and Jubilees: The opening of the Holy Door in history

Starting from the Holy Year of 1900, we retrace some key moments of the ceremonies for the opening of the Holy Door. By Amedeo Lomonaco One of the symbolic images of every Jubilee is that of the Pontiff crossing the threshold of the Holy Door. This is a moment deeply rooted in the Middle Ages. The first pilgrim to cross the threshold is always the Bishop of Rome. According to a description from…

no, screw you, the Pope can complain about whatever he wants, just like you and me, and if he owes anyone at all an apology it certainly isn't about this. talking about the state of the world is ONE OF THE POPE'S MANY JOBS. he's not just there to look pretty and spout useless platitudes, he SHOULD be calling out injustices when he sees it. I happen to think he's wrong about this, but saying he doesn't have the right to say it is not just wrong, it's MORONIC.

"catholic" reddit is a disgrace; a bunch of baptists with crucifixes.

this is a friendly reminder that Americanism is a heresy, and the idea that the Church should stay out of political affairs, one way or the other, is part of that heresy.

me personally

if I was Pope Pius XI I think I would have seized the opportunity and retaken Rome from Mussolini, in accordance with ideas laid out in Non Abbiamo Bisogno and also so that the flag of the Papacy could once again fly over the whole of the Eternal City, because that would be really cool. Also, it would be helpful for the Allies which would be nice. Use the Swiss Guard well, call another crusade to get some Catholic militias, maybe politely ask the British to airdrop some soldiers in the spirit of ecumenicalism, you’d be able to get it done in two weeks or so.

“The doctrine of modern Communism, which is often concealed under the most seductive trappings, is in substance based on the principles of dialectical and historical materialism previously advocated by Marx, of which the theoricians of bolshevism claim to possess the only genuine interpretation. According to this doctrine there is in the world only one reality, matter, the blind forces of which evolve into plant, animal and man. Even human society is nothing but a phenomenon and form of matter, evolving in the same way. By a law of inexorable necessity and through a perpetual conflict of forces, matter moves towards the final synthesis of a classless society. In such a doctrine, as is evident, there is no room for the idea of God; there is no difference between matter and spirit, between soul and body; there is neither survival of the soul after death nor any hope in a future life. Insisting on the dialectical aspect of their materialism, the Communists claim that the conflict which carries the world towards its final synthesis can be accelerated by man. Hence they endeavor to sharpen the antagonisms which arise between the various classes of society. Thus the class struggle with its consequent violent hate and destruction takes on the aspects of a crusade for the progress of humanity. On the other hand, all other forces whatever, as long as they resist such systematic violence, must be annihilated as hostile to the human race.”

- Pope Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris
