Communism and revolutionary movements

Following the Russian Revolution, no-fault divorce was introduced in Russia in 1918, while Religious marriage was abolished, and Feminism promoted. In 1920, the Russian Soviet Republic became the first country in the world to allow abortion in all circumstances. Clearly abortion and divorce, in particular, are factors which strike directly at family life, and could be said to be the cornerstones of the modern “culture of death.” These errors have deeply impacted the history of the twentieth century and also show what may happen in the future if the world continues on its present sinful path.

When Our Lady spoke of Russia spreading its errors throughout the world she was speaking then of Communism. But now we have to deal with what may be described as the “New Errors of Russia” - that is the promotion of cultural Marxism, modern secularism and the “Culture of Death.”

CULTURAL MARXISM

Cultural Marxism has had a huge impact on our society, as for example in the ideology behind the sexual revolution which developed in the 1960s. It seeks to control the culture, by undermining existing moral standards, including regarding sexual morality. It also attacks the family and other basic social institutions, principally through the mass media and educational bodies.

N.B. The above is not a criticism of individuals but rather of an ideology.

Cultural Marxism is responsible for the growth of ideas such as “political correctness,” which seek to control the way people think and act so as to

produce a new culture. This approach shifted the focus from Marxist idea about class to so-called “marginalized” groups such as feminists, etc. That is, it focused more on the culture, and hence the term, Cultural Marxism. The media have greatly accelerated all these trends by their promotion of these errors.

In addition to abortion, divorce, etc, there are other errors associated with Communism/Cultural Marxism, including a disregard for the value of the individual person made in the image and likeness of God, as well as attacks on the PERSON and the FAMILY. These errors have now become part of atheistic, materialist Western society, and the situation is getting worse as these errors become more widespread. Thus, more than ever, we need the message given by Our Lady at Fatima!
