Priest: Marxists still working to destroy civilisation
One of Latin America’s best known priests has claimed that Marxism did not die with the fall of communism, it simply changed its approach, and now threatens culture and religious faith at every level in many nations.
Having failed in the economic sphere, Marxists now aim at nothing less than the destruction of western civilisation, said author and commentator Fr Paul Azevedo.
Their goal is to establish a new culture that will open the way to acceptance of a socialist society.
The people of his own country, Brazil, and of the US are disarmed in the face of cultural Marxism, he argued, because they naively believe that it died with the fall of the Soviet Union.
Describing the Marxist ideology as “a secularised religion” he said: “We are really before a monster that is destroying everything we hold dear, precious and sacred.” And one of its main targets is the family based on marriage.
Today’s Marxists “think that the family is oppression; so once you have a family, that means you have a man, and the male is oppressing the woman and the kids, because he is imposing on them,” said Azevedo.
“Once you have a traditional family, you have a man as ruler of the family and they think they have to break that down, to have people grow up in a different environment.”
Adopting the principles of Marx, they have gained a strong position in universities, schools, newspapers, the media and, not least, in the Church.
In Brazil, he told Lifesitenews.com, even large numbers of priests and bishops have embraced an agenda that replaces the spiritual teachings of Christ with a Marxist imitation.
“They are trying to get to Christianity and to change it from the inside,” said the priest. “So they keep the religious words, but they change the concept inside of the word.”
“They say that we are working here for the kingdom of God, and we want to bring about the kingdom here in this world.
“In reality what they are talking about is the socialist society that they dream about, the utopia that they think is going to happen; that is the kingdom of God for them.”
Fr Azevedo continued: “They use the same words. It sounds like something Catholic, like something Christian. At the same time you realise something is strange about it.
“What is missing is everything that relates to God, to heaven, to life after death.”
Other authors have warned that many of today’s cultural Marxists have found key jobs at international agencies like the UN and are using their position to push the Marxist agenda on the world.
