HISTORY OF SOCIALISM XIII-I until the late nineteenth century

HISTORY OF SOCIALISM XIII

SITUATION AT THE END OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

By Ricardo Melo Bridges

"The spiritual power of the Pope carries, as a dependent, the larger temporal power and jurisdiction over the princes and all the faithful of the Church, so that, if the end of eternal life requires it, the Pope can depose kings, and deprive them of their kingdom, suppress their laws and edicts, not only censorship, but with penalties forcing external force and arms, using the effect of other princes under his authority, because for this, Sovereign Pontiff summarized in its person the supreme temporal and spiritual power. "

This was written by the Jesuit Molina and, according to Catholic doctrine wildly supported by the Order of Loyola, the Pope is King of kings and Lord of Lords, so it has the "legitimate" right to depose or-if any- take their lives. Of course, the Jesuits did not recognize the Pope authority to depose his own General of the Society of Jesus, to rest, the "Pontifex Maximus" can do whatever he wants in the world. And the truth is that it has.

Trial of Pope Boniface VI to the corpse of his predecessor, Pope Formoso .. An aberration that the Catholic Church can not hide

We have seen that during the colonial era, the Church was the most powerful institution after the Crown and, in some episodes, even more influential than this. In Latin America, the Holy See had control of printing, designing educational programs and execute them. In addition, filtered access to the professions. As the only institution that controlled the educational system, the powerful Catholic church decided who was competent to hold public office, put it-when there was no suitable lay, occupied the same clerics. Not only controlled all about laws and public morality, but also oversaw these issues in every private home.

Because education is appropriated and control almost every aspect of public and private life in our nation, its power in rural areas was overwhelmingly indisputable. He had complete control over the Indians and mestizos even in remote and inaccessible areas of the country, why the church was rarely challenged. Those who dared to question it, invariably ended badly. Few escaped its influence, such as blacks, who did not fall under the dominion of the Spanish missionaries as these preferred the climate of the mountains to the hot and unhealthy forests inhabited by many blacks and not a few communities. The only chance they had to catechize was when they were brought to the cities. However, no sooner returned to their plantations and mines, blacks their ancestral gods disguised under the names of the gods Hispanic Catholicism.

Catholic Education .. ¿Ministry or indoctrination ...?

Over time, the Protestant ideology and Freemasonry were introduced in the Spanish colonies in Latin by the Catholic Church suffered some blows to its economic and ideological totalitarianism. Although many "liberal" Catholics who read material from the U.S. and Europe, but sought a separation of church and state, arguing that the influence of the Catholic Church had plunged all Spanish America in poverty, backwardness and illiteracy, the clergy -like response, sealed with the nickname of "satanic" to all those who called themselves liberals. Of course, the Jesuits, teachers for centuries of infiltration, did much more than that: They placed their own men in the Liberal ranks to the hosts that acaudillaran return of obedience to the clergy. An example of this was the same Rafael Nunez who, having achieved its goal of destroying the liberal Constitution of Rio Negro, and to introduce the ultra-Catholic, 1886, left his guise of liberal and publicly stated what had always been a secret: conservative proeclesial.

As in the rest of Latin America, Colombia Protestantism did much of a dent, limited to very small orbits of traders and foreign diplomats, many of which only remained in office some time in their assigned countries. Very little that Protestants could do in our nation to bring people to reclaim their liberties. Submission to the clergy and the superstitious fear toward Catholic leaders whom they considered-still do-vicars and subvicarios of Christ, (by rank), did not allow freedom taught in the gospel had most impact in the realms of the Pope.

On the other hand, shortly before 1870, Pius IX and the First Vatican Council (1870) launched a violent offensive to

Pius IX

we strengthen the power of the church in the colonies. The Jesuits, well versed in canon law that cleverly mixed with the theological argument and philosophy aristocrat, managed to enter back to Colombia and worked hard to get-by the 1886 Constitution - the preponderance of the Catholic Church on matters of state, with the subsequent signing of the Concordat between Colombia and the Holy See. To appease the spirits running high after the war and give their faithful the necessary comfort, revived, almost at the same time in Rome, the cult of the Sacred Heart, the Virgin Mary and the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, and the knights of the Holy Sepulchre. At the same time, launched a powerful evangelistic, baptizing children and married couples in "cohabitation", sending visiting bishops to parishes, and building a church in each municipality. Of course, with state funds and the faithful.

At the same time, their ideological strategy included the re-writing history to teach in every school and college where he now had full control and power. Thus, for many years, even until now, has been teaching a false story and lying figure where the Catholic Church as an institution that from the very beginning of European genocide of Native Americans, is "opposed" to the excesses of the conquistadors, missionaries also teach that fought alongside the oppressed, defending and giving his life for them. Just take any history book ever written, by the conservative aristocracy and the Catholic leaders, to see how your pages leap from great men, priests, who taught the Indians and blacks the way to salvation farther away from the hell of the ideas of individual freedom to which they branded as paganism.

It turns out that the truth is exactly the opposite. The Catholic Church is the institution that has committed crimes and genocide over its disastrous history. From the day he was born thanks to the sagacity of Constantine the Great, Roman emperor, and who never converted to Christianity. Constantine, with the young of religious hierarchs of the time, greedy and corrupt men, founded the Catholic Church invented a back story to go back to Peter, the humble Galilean fisherman who was dressed up with fancy statue costumes Peter never dreamed. Today, the great basilica of St. Peter in Rome, is actually a temple built for Zeus. But that gives to another topic.

In this story written parental reinvented by the Jesuits, men like Thomas antieclesiales Cipriano de Mosquera and others were demonized and labeled as enemies of progress and morality. In contrast, authoritarian and bloody characters, such as Simon Bolivar, an aristocrat who dreamed of becoming King, were deified and raised to the rank of martyrs of freedom pursued by liberals "demonic." And that has taught the Jesuits, friends and supporters of dictatorships. For one thing, Samuel Moreno, now mayor of Bogota and grandson of Rojas Pinilla, had no qualms in saying that "dictatorships are good", earning applause from his supporters rabid socialist indoctrinated in the classrooms of the priests.

That was how, totally controlling the educational body, the Jesuits managed to even the most radical liberals had no choice but to enroll their children in schools run by priests, who were the most prestigious and that filtered access to the powers of society. In addition, the Liberals wanted to get rid of public ridicule of being called "Masons" or "children of the devil." There was, therefore, escape, and the Liberals were re-educated children by priests perpetuating generation after generation, control over the monastic society that continues today.

Rafael Nunez, in conspiracy with the Jesuit Archbishop Telesphore Paul, were the ones who brought the country to surrender completely to the feet of the Pope. With the constitution of 1886, the Concordat of 1887 and the Additional Convention of 1892, the Church came out stronger than ever. It was the curia, headed by the archbishop, in charge of approving or vetoing textbooks and curricula of schools, colleges and universities. Through the Constitution the State was required to subsidize million dollar budget items with the work "evangelizing" of the Church. Incredibly, in rural areas was given to the Catholic Church the administrative and judicial roles. It is no exaggeration to say that the Church fully controlled the country. For our own ruin.
