Masters of Deceit - 1

Masters of Deceit -1

It is good to be back. Decades ago I read a book by Whittaker Chambers called The Witness. It dealt with the struggle going on in the Cold War between Communist Russia and the United States. The book was required reading by most government officials and the FBI. It is a powerful book.

In the book, Whittaker believed that the Communists would win. And we had in America a number of people whom we called fellow travelers. They believed that the Russian Communists would eventually win and that we need to get along with them. They were the useful idiots for the communist party. They believed that in the countries behind the Iron Curtain communism is what the people wanted and voted for. Don’t we see this today in Castro’s communist Cuba? We have these useful idiots around today. Left-wing and anti-war politics is their religion.

The bottom line is that the communists are Masters of Deceit. And in many ways believers in the Culture of Death are Masters of Deceit. They have lots of money, a corrupt news media, the Hollywood culture and the elite academia. They spout out a lot of half-truths and lies. These become part of our culture. This is a big challenge for the pro-life movement. In this culture of death, we have fellow travelers. And whether we like it or not; they are the Catholic-in-name-only politicians. Convert the CINOP back to Catholicism via defeat at the polls.

Another book that I will continue to report on is the one by David Carlin. He is a veteran sociologist, philosophy professor, and author of the Decline and fall of the Catholic Church in America. He comes across as a liberal Catholic politician who supported Eugene McCarthy for President in his book; Can a Catholic Be a Democrat? This book is a pro-life info book & well worth it. It is only $14.95 @ St. Joseph Catholic Books & Gifts, 2829 W. Lincoln, Anaheim, (714) 226-9267, Gaby

Also, we come to a couple of spiritual truths and justice books. One is The Private Prayers of Pope John Paul II – A Life in Prayer. Atria Books, New York, London, Sydney, 2005. This book is appropriate for Lent and there are also several important sections on the role of the laity in the public arena.

Finally, on March 25, a new book by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson will be published. A Civilization of Love: What Every Catholic Can Do to Transform the World (Harper One) offers a bold blueprint for the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Church in the 21st century
In A Civilization of Love Anderson uses his own experiences as a former White House official, lawyer, educator and current leader of the world’s largest fraternal organization to show how Church teaching can inform and influence society for the better… as articulated by the Second Vatican Council, Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. It encourages Catholics to make greater efforts to influence the culture precisely as Catholics.
