Remember, it was the Russian mobilization on the German border in August 1914 that provoked the implementation of the von Schlieffen Plan, which, in order to avoid a two front war, caused the German Empire to head toward Paris in early August of 1914 --- and then the rest is history, World War I, World War II, the Cold War, Vietnam War, Vatican II, etc. The Neocons featured above are pushing for a mobilization on the Russian border. American blood for democracy in Estonia?

  Dr. Chojnowski: Why does it seem like July of 1914 or August of 1939? The world on the edge of world war and, yet, not really expecting anything major or catastrophic? We are in a similar situation on January 23, 2022 with the current crisis over the Ukraine. Ukraine, of course, never being a historic country itself, rather being part of the Russian or Austrian Empires or the Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth. It became a "nation" for the first time during World World I and was quickly incorporated into the Soviet Communist State. It would remain in this condition until 1992 when it became again an independent "nation" with a huge number of ethnic Russians. These Russians were in "Ukraine" simply because they were put there by the Communist regime. Historically speaking, Ukrainian nationalism or a renewed sense of ethnic identity emerged in the Habsburg Empire that allowed these ethnic aspects to flower within its boundaries. I have known Ukrainian-American

Some interesting text from Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn's book The  Intelligent  American's Guide to Europe (New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House Publishers, 1979), pp. 250-251. In this chapter, Kuehnelt-Leddihn indicates that there is "two other Slavic nations in the USSR [notice the date of publication], the White Ruthenians (also called Byelorussians) and the  Ukrainians (also called Ruthenians, Little Russians, South Russians, Black Russians). The White Ruthenians [White Russians] are found between the Great Russians and the Poles, and although the great majority belong to the Eastern Byzantine Church, they are subject to strong cultural influences from the Poles because before the [18th century Polish] partitions, they lived in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Their language, too, is halfway between Polish and Russian....However, the White Ruthenians do not present an explosive issue in the USSR.      This is not the case true of the Ukrainians, who first developed a str

A Lutheran "Lord's Supper." Look familiar? Game: Find the Catholic Priesthood in anything said below by Cardinal Ratzinger in God and the World :  "Well, first of all, the Catholic priest is there in response to the mission of Jesus Christ, in the authoritative pattern of the apostles. So he is not the figure of the priesthood as seen in the general history of religions [as a sacrificer of actual flesh and blood?]. The standard for this class, if we may call it that, derives from the figure of the apostle, as created by Christ. Christ gives him [the "Catholic priest"] the task of proclaiming his Word, proclaiming himself, proclaiming the promise he has given us [this is the fundamental task of the "priest"]. And within the framework of this proclamation [while being a simple proclaimer of the "word"], which is always a task of love, of building up the Body of Christ [but not giving it to the faithful!], of service to the poor [but not a

Another quotation from Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger's God and the World : "I would really say that just as the Liturgical Movement that led to the Second Vatican Council was something that grew slowly --- and that they very quickly became a flood --- so here, too, it is a matter of an impulse emanating from people who celebrate a living faith [Not pure unadulterated Modernism?]....If out of this a kind of movement develops from within and is not simply imposed from above, then it will come. [Peter Seewald asks, "Should Masses be said in Latin again?] That is no longer going to be possible as a general practice and perhaps it is not desirable as such  [emphasis mine]. At least it is clear, I would say, that the Liturgy of the Word should be in peoples' mother tongue. But otherwise, I would be in favor of a new openness toward the use of Latin [Notice, there is no reference to the use of a tradition, pre-Vatican II liturgy, just "Latin"].

Don't Worry. The Man Upstairs (in the Papal Apartment) Will Give Us Cover! To start the New Year of 2022, here is another quotation from God and the World , an Interview with Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, pp. 326-327 (2000, published in 2002). I will highlight in red  the parts that would be declared heretical in any normal Catholic world: When responding to a question about Our Lord Jesus Christ's Agony in the Garden, the Cardinal says: "To a certain extent I see here the struggle between the human soul and the divine soul of Jesus Christ . Jesus can see the whole abyss of human filth and human awfulness which he has to carry and through which he must make his way....This is not just anguish in the face of his execution: it is being confronted with the entire, fearful, abyss of human destiny, which he has to take upon himself. The Greek theologian Maximus the Confessor depicts this process in a particularly impressive way. He shows us how the 'alchemy of being' is acc
