I am glad there are people who never compromise the truth of the Gospel. Father Kolbe is a true martyr.

It is a shame that he gave up hi life beccause the Church (catholic) did not openly criticize fascists and Nazis like Mussolini and Hitler.

John Paul II was dierct with the Polish government, making possible the existence of solidarity (a union). He even went against the President (Bush) on Iraq openly. But once Bush gave him a medal... (was that for telling the Bishops to refuse Kerry the eucharist)....things just don't sound right anymore.

Pius XII will always carry that stigma by his name. I don't care if they say he worked under to help save Jews. It cannot be proven.

6-7 million Jews died. Millions of Russians, Poles, French, Catholic Germans,...The damage was done. The Church should not support rightist governments. In the end, these governments do torture, kill,... their people.

Rod,

Bless you for looking up that information on St. Maximillian Kolbe. Those quotations of his especially spoke to me. Thanks again. It's edifying to hear about real heroes like him.

Elpidio,

I am reposting a reply Imade to Faith regarding the same subject matter:

Pope Pius XII wrote a papal encyclical (click to read about) against Nazism entitled Mit Brennender Sorge. If you think the stink about voting for pro-abortion John Kerry is big today, you should see the stink in the Church about Nazism and Communism as atheistic philosophies and politics. Please read this for a more objective view of Pius XII. This is the man that Hitler was quoted as saying "[Pius] is the only human being who has always contradicted me and who has never obeyed me."

Here's what infamous Joseph Goebbels had say about about the Catholic Church. His 26 March 1942 entry into his diary reads, "It's a dirty, low thing to do for the Catholic Church to continue its subversive activity in every way possible and now even to extend its propaganda to Protestant children evacuated from the regions threatened by air raids. Next to the Jews these politico-divines are about the most loathsome riffraff that we are still sheltering in the Reich. The time will come after the war for an over-all solution of this problem." (Lochner, The Goebbels Diaries, 1948, p. 146)

On a side note, Pope John Paul II fought hard against anti-semitism in pre-war Poland when he was a college student

The links in my reply are missing. They are active in the original post in the "Who has the Keys to the Kingdom of God, Faith?" thread.

-- Andy S ("ask3332004@yahoo.com"), October 21, 2004.

Actually, Pope Pius XI wrote the encycial Mit Brennender Sorge. My bad.

-- Andy S ("ask3332004@yahoo.com"), October 21, 2004.

No problem, Andy, we all get confused. I have my own gaffs when it comes to dreams.

Since 1986, only one dream hasn't come true, that one was the Pope's .I had in 1991 right after my son's death. I was told the Pope was going to die in 1998. I wrote to him in 1997. I told him his life was in danger in December 1998. Actually, his health deteriorated that December. Several appoinments he had were canceled. But he survived. This letter I published on August 27, 2004. It is in Spanish.

The Yahwist and The Pope:Letters

Last year in April I had another dream which involved the Pope and the President of the United States. That one is at the Catholic Forum. This dream is the one everyone always talks about.

Has anyone had a dream about the Pope lately

This dream is still in Limbo. According to the dream, The Pope was going to make 2 more of 4 trips =6 foreign trips. He has only made 6. 2 have been canceled. This includes one to Mongolia and one to Mexico. My dream eneded where I was told the Pope wanted to go to Mexico. He didn't go. Right after him, I saw President Bush getting shot.

I can understand the Pope surviving in 1998. He is a man of faith.

But can he avoid death this time? One person in the dream I had in July 4, 2004, Leigh, the Star of Psycho was supposed to die #4. She died before Rodney Dangerfield after Iggie in the 20s. So far of that dream only Antonio Aguilar, Fedel castro, the Pope, and Bush are still alive. Dead: Christopher Reeve, Iggie, Rodney Dangerfield, Leigh,Ken Camminiti, Johnny Ramone, Larry MC Cormick, .... It was 123 people. 20 have died.

More to come: Dr. Gene Scott, Dr. Billy Graham, Ariel Sharon, Yasser Arafat, Margaret Thatcher, Ross Perot,....

Hey! I used to watch and listen to Dr. Gene Scott back when I lived in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. I never did receive the Pyramid Book he promised me.

Remember his song?

I still see him in Los angeles in Channel 58, Rod.

He left the Pyramid talk about 8 years ago. The founder of The Jehovah's Witnesses and Cayce, the seer, were believers that the pyramid of Egypt held secrets about the future.

Lately, Dr. Scott was doagnosed with cancer. He had said that he had prayed the cancer would go away. He went to the Doctor. It was in the Los Angeles Times. He said in his program that he did not have surgery as published in the newspaper in September.

Lately also he has been working out of the Hebrew, the Peshitta (Aramaic), the Coptic, Arabic, Latin, German, French, English, and Spanish translations.

He still maintains Rod that we must partake of the bread and wine in a worthy manner.

Yes, I do recall his teachings of "worthy". I can still hear him on my shortwave radio. Was it all those cigars that caused the cancer? I know he had a ranch with racing quality type horses. I believe King's House One is in California.

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), October 21, 2004.


They have never said from what part of the body he has the cancer, Rod.

Yes, he still has the horses but they don't show that anymore like they used to.

Probably has to do with his health.

When he used to quote Paul in I Corinthians 11 about eating and drinking unworthily he meant that like Jesus said, if you remember that you have offended anyone leave your offering, go back and get reconciled with your opponent...type of thinking.

For him whether the priest, the pastor, another person, or yourself made the consecration did not matter. What matter was the conscience when you partook of it.

RIGHTEST GOVEWNRMENTS? Hitler is ty[oclaly associated withhte right wing, so the Libbies can pretend thay the right wing is worse than they are, even though the true expresion of the left was stalinism...

The problem is, National SOCIALISM is also left wing, and facism is a left wing, not a right wing, ideal...
