Solzehnitsyn: Be careful with false calls for social justice

“For me and my friends, for people who think the way I do over there, for all ordinary Soviet citizens, America evokes a mixture of admiration and compassion...You're a country of the future, a young country, with yet untapped possibilities, enormous territory, great breadth of spirit, generosity, magnanimity. But these qualities--strength, generosity, and magnanimity--are usually combined in a man and even in a whole country with trustfulness. And this has already done you a disservice several times.

I would like to call upon America to be more careful with its trust to prevent those pundits who are attempting to establish fine degrees of justice and even finer legal shades of equality (some because of their distorted outlook, others because of short-sightedness, still others out of self-interest)to prevent them from using the struggle for peace and social justice to lead you down a false road. They are trying to weaken you; they are trying to disarm your strong and magnificent country in the face of this fearful threat -- one which has never before been seen in the history or the world. Not only in the history of the country, but in the history of the world."




Just a reminder that a Catholic cannot be a Socialist. Need more?  Click HERE

And the Holy Father is in Mexico and a young lady sang him the Ave at the Hospital.  Wonderful!

If Pope Francis is a communist then what of St. Basil the Great?

The more I hear people call the Holy Father a commie the more I was wondering if such people know anything about the church.  When +Francis P.P. says he is not a communist and that people would be surprised if they read the early fathers he is not joking:

When law violates morality: Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Alexander Solzhenitsyn
At the present time it is widely accepted among lawyers that law is higher than morality … The opposite is true: morality is higher than law! ... This view must never be abandoned. We must acknowledge it with our hearts and souls… we, from the whole of our life experience there (in the prison camps), have concluded that there is only one way to withstand violence: with firmness... I would like to call upon America to be more careful with its trust to prevent those pundits who are attempting to establish fine degrees of justice and even finer legal shades of equality … to prevent them from using the struggle for peace and social justice to lead you down a false road. They are trying to weaken you; they are trying to disarm your strong and magnificent country. Your leaders will need profound intuition, spiritual foresight, high qualities of mind and soul. May God grant that in those times you will have at the helm personalities as great as those who created your country. … the men who created your country never lost sight of their moral bearings.”

 - Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Warning to the West (1975)




I cant recommend his work enough...
