The Defining Image of the Pontificate


Could one imagine an image of a smiling Pius VII receiving a "crucifix" on a small guillotine? Or a smiling Pius XII receiving a "crucifix" on a Swastika?

And yet...as horrendous as both the Terreur and the Nazis were, neither reached the absolute numbers of victims (ongoing as we speak, with Catholics in their dungeons as we speak) of the doctrine of the Hammer and Sickle. Communism, the greatest killer of Christians of all ages, defiles the Sacred Image of Our Lord and the memory of so many martyrs. And now they want to erase even this in the name of "dialogue"!...

The image above will forever remain, for all posterity, the defining image of this pontificate.
