Firstly it wasn’t. Rather than the Sedecavaticanist claims, Vatican II was mostly an update to existing doctrines within the Church in order to modernize it. Namely because there was a genuine belief it was falling behind the times (ie Mass was still in Latin despite no one speaking Latin other than priests)
Plus given the special requirements of a priest, it’d be exceptionally difficult to infiltrate the Vatican, and provide minimal returns, if any.
No.1282576

>>1282566I'd also add that there's a very logical reason for why American Catholics (aside from Hispanics) tend to be overwhelmingly politically liberal: they live in cities. It's identical to why so many American Jews are hardcore Democrat voters, they live in urban centers and suburbs and absorb that culture.
Go to the rural countryside in the US and you'll be hard put to find a Catholic church, or an Orthodox church, or a synagogue, or a mosque, etc. but you'll find a plethora of Protestant churches (mostly Baptist and Evangelical).
Not going to lie, part of me thinks the urban/suburban vs. rural divide is a hell of a lot more significant than many comrades make it out to be.

>>1282597Eh, funny enough I've run across a couple rural Catholic Churches, granted I think that's generally because Catholics were more willing/successful at evangelizing to Native Americans than Prods were. I remember hearing some story back in Catholic School about a pair of Jesuits that tried evangelizing to some Mohawk tribe or another. They were tortured, but handled their torture with such grace and forgave their torturers that the warriors of the tribe were actually impressed and asked for conversions.
Part of the reason Catholics are so liberal in the U.S. is because we mostly came here as immigrant laborers such as the Irish. There's also the fact that for most of its history, the U.S. was
explicitly a racialized country, whereas Catholicism is ostensibly universalist so we had less historical hangups about intermingling between races (even Louisiana was comparatively more progressive on race than the rest of the Slave States) and as a consequence, the traditional defenders of conservatism in the KKK would try to kill us often.

A much more logical explanation is that most Catholic European immigrants were migrating from countries that were still semi-feudal. Ireland was a British colony which wasn't allowed to develop. Italy and Poland were still feudal in the late 19th century. When you're oppressed by feudal elements, liberalism and modernity seem pretty sweet by comparison.

So, in the 1930s Stalin ordered all parties affiliated with the Comintern put infiltrators into Catholic seminaries. Those infiltrators would allegedly go on to become priests and bishops and cardinals with several of them being present at the Vatican II council. Those secret commie clergy were the ones who are said to have changed the liturgy and all that. Then, due to Vatican II, the Catholic Church all of a sudden began super liberalizing and secretly promoting Marxism.
In other words, it's basically a more autistic version of the Frankfurt School "cultural Marxism" bullshit.

>>1310120The Vatican is a global organization. Thus,many of those who pay respects to the Mother of All Churchers resides in multiple places around the world, not just in Europe.
Some of these places include climate-vulnerable areas such as South and South East Asia, Africa, and other such places, that in recent years have suffered devastating floodings and crop failures caused by chaotic climate patterns.
For Europeans and Americans, the effects of climate change are not yet visible due to the presence of sophisticated disaster-preventing technologies and infrastructures guarding your nations 24/7. But for these people in the Third World(who, by all index are the most pious and fertile parts of the Catholic congregation), the impact of climate change is nothing short of catasthrophic. Thus the Vatican adressing climate change is not because of WEF or CIA infiltration (although financial capital and America 100% twisted these disasters for their benefits) but simply adressing the concerns of their flock living outside of Europe
No.1310139
>>1310138And it must be reiterated that acknowledging climate change does not mean you have to embrace the capital-propped "solutions" to it (like austerity measures) anymore than acknowledging the crack epidemic means embracing big pharma's "solution" for it

This also explains the leftward shift of the Catholic Church in recent years: most of the practicing Catholics in the world live outside the West. Brazil and Nigeria are the world's most Catholic countries now. Congo and Philippines are up there.
It's foolish to claim the Vatican was "infiltrated" when its shift to the left can easily be explained by material factors.

Jesus was not a communist revolutionary, communism was created as a mockery of christianity by anti-christians, by stealing the charity elements from it while removing God from it, communism is a materialistic bad copy of christianity, not the other way around.
And neither is christianity a tool for some oligarch to hide their corruption from being exposed to truth and being judged according to eartly human laws of common peaceful life inside a community.

I have been excatholic for 3 to 5 years. I am in my 20's.
I posted this to take a thread on Catholic History to issue an early warning about upcoming concerns that are aided and abided by Catholic Churches.
I only posted this on Leftypol because less digital fingerprints and so my accounts don't get death threats. Men get death threats. Women get rape threats.
What you can do:
1. Document local Catholic messaging in Bulletins, social media, and Calendars.
2. Prepare counter-messaging for gender allies.
3. Alert gender allies about gender adversaries. As in, if you work at Planned Parenthood, anything with Democrat in the name, anything with Abortion, you can go "oh, that is why we get these weird calls right about now".

1. Vegas is modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Be glad son of Joan, for you did not let a single pedocrat bus drive through the town without ensuring that the roof of a bus goes flying.
2. We should embrace the moral hand of God on Earth and run a government as we see fit. We are the ones who see clearly. Something about duty. Something about Crusaders.
3. More open rhetoric about "defeating feminism".
———
Defeating vs eating the Government:
The best-case scenario for Roman Catholics is not we will defeat "the great Satan" to "build the Kingdom of God". That takes effort from noobs who build rival factions. The government that emerges in that scenario will have to contend with a population that hates their guts. The better scenario will look like eating the government to obey the "moral leadership" of God.
What does that look like:
1. Contest every election every year for the rest of time.
2. Control the education of everybody.
3. Banning abortion and aborticants. Then classify the Birth Control Pill as an aborticant. Make every Hospital a Catholic Hospital and buy out the rest.
4. Enable [PRISM, XKEYSCORE, Talored Access Operations, BULLRUN, and OPTICNERVE (GCHQ) ] on anything that is Left leaning and law obeying.

In that theory of history, the CIA likes communism, or rather, they see communism as a lie and the real program is some hybrid of fascism, capitalism, communism, and Satanism. On one hand, that is basically what is happening today, because the rulers of the world are not beholden to any ideology or particular way of doing things. On the other, the entire construction of this history is intended to suggest that there was a golden age where men were pure and would never ever do such a thing, and the Church was never ever corrupted. The things in Vatican II were things that had a long history in Catholicism and Christianity generally. American Protestants saw it as the filthy papists masking off, and there was a cope about how the Church was going woke and not saying the things they said before.
To make a long story short - people are believing Nazi agitprop, and this was encouraged by, hilariously, the CIA. So they themselves are a product of "communist infiltration". The really ironic thing is that the conspiracy crank position was, in the early 20th century, a leftist thing and a trope about Marxists. Commies have been among the best conspiracy theorists, and if you read Lenin's polemics, they read in so many ways like a lot of things the rightists believe now, in that Lenin is willing to rail against the world and say who is doing what. This makes a lot of sense for Lenin's goals. The brilliant trick is to take a genuine critique - that politics is conspiratorial and there is a new world order - and insert some Nazi shit that derails it completely and redirects the "revolution" to nothing or back into the regime. It's why these people think their Republican masters are totally on their side, and then whine about their leaders selling out. The same thing is done to the far left, but with far more devastating results. One of the greatest victories of social engineering has been to flip the positions of the left and right in the discourse, so that the right appears to be the revolutionary party, and the left is harkening to the recent past and defends the institutions. Some of the people in the hoi polloi didn't get the memo that things changed, or they did get the memo and insisted on their own view of politics, which has no real backers.
One thing that is clear is that the Church is getting money to get on board with an effort to restructure Christianity. This was a project that was carried out starting in the early 20th century, and it was for a fairly obvious reason - rich oligarchs, particularly the Rockefellers, wanted to bring together the Christian churches and put an end to the struggles over doctrine, and the way to do this was to basically neuter Christianity's meaning. In some way, the old religion survives - or rather, it has been reduced to its essential components, which is why a lot of Christians are normcore and get more into their philosophy and theory than the spookier stuff. On the other end, the old Nazi program was to rebrand Christianity to be its exact opposite, and that's where the religious right comes from. So, a lot of these charges come from people who are espousing creationism and things which are entirely inimical to a useful interpretation of the religion. This has been another long-run program, where first religion is turned into a total parody, and then the believers are given the hint that the core of the religion was actually Satanic and that Satan was actually the good guy. After enough of this, the religion can be dismantled and a Satanic movement that just wants to kill and rape things can take its place. That was exactly what the Nazis wanted, because they were into that ultra-reactionary shit where Hitler was the great avatar of death and all that faggotry. Their inheritors have done the same thing with today's right.
So in the end, the CIA is actually trying to salvage something of the religion, and the right wing wants to corrupt it further. The normies find themselves torn between two ideologies and then ask what the point of it is, and there is growing disgust towards the institution. This is the old three-pronged attack that has been used to dismantle old things and transgress decencies. So far as normies hold on to Christianity, it is because they are fearful of the rise of eugenics, for all the reasons. No one can be allowed to genuinely oppose eugenics, and that's the origin of this assault, and the culture war of the neoliberal period.

The people who lost when Reagan took over never forgot, but they were muzzled and not allowed to seriously contest what Reagan did, which was always eugenics at the core. Then some of those people got the word that eugenics was now multi-racial and they built up the "white shame" narrative. It's eugenics through and through, but you can't call it what it is and they tell you to blame something else, whether it's a race or ideology.

This particular location was chosen as it was Bishob Barrons current Diocese.
No.1338076
>>1338064Location: USA, MN, Rochester
Diocese: Diocese of Winnona [Bishop Robert Barron presides over this Diocese]
Church: Pax Christi
"January 22 is the date of the Roe vs. Wade decision… that legalized abortion… Here in Minnesota, both houses of the Legislature and the Governor’s office are controlled by Democrats… Bishop Barron asks us to make our voices heard at this critical time. We invite you to take a card to send to our state representatives and senators… A short online search will tell you who your legislators are…"
https://www.parishesonline.com/publication-page/pax-christi-church?selectedPublication=https://container.parishesonline.com/bulletins/02/0112/20230122B.pdfLet's describe the influence and reach of this message with math.
Here are the sections of a church: Left side of church. 1; Left middle side of church 2, Left Main Isile 3.
//Ignore the right side as we can simply multiply by 2 {Right Main Isile 4, Right Middle side of Church 5, Right side of church 6}
Saturday 5:15 pm [Hard to estimate]
1: 6 people per row * 7 rows
2: 4 people per row * 12 rows
3: 5 people per row * 15 rows
(6*7)+(4*12)+(5*15)=165
size=currentSum*2; //For right side
165*2=330 people
Sunday 7:30 am
Identical to Saturday 5:15 pm for simplicity
330 people
Sunday 9:00 am
1: 10 people per row * 14 rows (all rows full this time)
2: 9 people per row * 14 rows (all rows full this time)
3: 6 people per row * 20 rows
140+(9*14)+(6*20)=386
size=currentSum*2; //For right side
386*2=772 people
Sunday 10:45 am
Identical to Sunday 9AM
772 people
Total
(330*2)+(772*2)=(330+772)*2=2204 people
Limitations:
This is only 1 church. Technically, this is one of Diocese of Winnona's bigger churches.
This is a lighter estimate. It could be larger.
They have like 14 churches in just this one town (not the Statewide Diocese) that are smaller. They would create their own bulletins that contain the same anti-choice announcement.
This is only the Catholicism; other religious groups can do the same.
"No one reads the bulletin" you say? They have after Communion announcements. Everybody will hear it.
No.1338077
>>1338076Reading Catlin Johnstone's Substack motivated me to write that last section about the reach of the bulletin. She mentions the influence of media organizations over the masses.

No.1338102
>>1338100Observed trends:
1. ["culture of life", "celebrate life"] VS [Defeating Abortion, fighting Roe V Wade]
2. Kight's of Columbus are highly involved in this.

-Every Catholic organization tries to show up
-Catholic colleges and schools treat it as a field trip, even going as far as to cancel classes to enable this.

>>1340879https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPSOYz1_jKg"… at least 30 ISP personnel on hand who surrounded a very well thought out barricade… Across the street the Proud Boys had set up and appeared to be well armed; one guy had a black face mask and an AR 15 strapped to his chest. They just kind of hung out and chatted. The counter protestors demonstrated incredible vocal stamina and ability by chanting the same phrases quite loudly for over an hour straight. ; very impressive. The only real conflict came when some of the canines present came into contact with one another and had a few scuffles, but hey, at least they got to enjoy an outing with their owners on a really nice sunny day. Good job everyone.'"

https://thecatholicspirit.com/news/local-news/archbishop-hebda-each-of-us-is-called-to-be-an-evangelizer-for-life/"About 180 people, including 140 high school students and young adults, also traveled by charted buses from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to the 50th March for Life in Washington, D.C. Jan. 20."
"Archbishop Hebda also acknowledged his gratitude for students in attendance from the University of Mary in Bismarck who were on their way back to North Dakota after participating in the march in Washington…"
"…Archbishop Hedba said Minnesotans must “express our voice to our senators as soon as we can, because the vote will be as soon as this week.” He suggested accessing the Minnesota Catholic Conference website at mncatholic.org or the archdiocese’s website at archspm.org to find ways to express views to state senators. "
No.1341703
>>1341702Summary again:
1. The march for life does not just happen out of nowhere.
2. Catholic Churches and Catholic Schools facilitate media campaigns and buses to make it so.
3. Notice the level of coordination from high level USCCB to the Local Church level.

Also, they can't build a movement of terrorism yet. The court of public opinion does not like bombings, even among their own ranks.
