Marx... ist... nicht Katholisch! (Say it fast enough and you'll get the gist...).

The Problem

The Francis-enabled ''discussion'' in Germany on whether to give Holy Communion to Protestants, must be seen for what it really is; and then robustly and wilfully resisted by every single member of the Mystical Body of Christ.

As long ago as 16th December, 2016, we were already warning here that Cardinal Walter Kasper might be preparing the way for just such an eventuality as this, by engaging in what looked like ''predictive programming'' in mainstream media interviews.

Just to recap, predictive programming has been useful to subversives when their pre-planned ''future scenarios'' are so radical as to upset the present status quo. In order to thus advance their ideology, without also encountering the type of strong resistance which such radical moves would typically provoke, those engaging in predictive programming make a sophisticated use of media, events and reportage to gradually float ideas, test for resistance and incrementally condition social groups to gradually accept changes toward a full acceptance of their already pre-planned scenario.

It is the ''Boiling Frog'' approach par excellence.

Such things were played out for all to see in the staged synods leading up to Amoris Laetitia.

So, the once unthinkable Holy Communion for adulterers ''in certain individual cases'' was subversively allowed to gain traction, and now leads on to Holy Communion for Protestants ''in some extreme cases''.

Where will all this lead to next? Communion for atheists, Muslims, Jews, or homosexual pairings?

Well, as we said back in December, 2016, just keep watching Pope Francis, Cardinal Walter Kasper and their Scalfari-esque media favourites, to look out for upcoming trial balloons and signals...

As the next obvious step in the Hegelian/Bergoglian/Kasperian undermining of the Church, the ''proposal'' for Holy Communion for Protestants, complete with its own unanswered Dubia, (see how these boys learn from the moves of their opponents, whilst never wasting a crisis...), is a direct attack on Catholic orthodoxy.

In fact, as did the implementation of Amoris Laetitia before it, this development strikes right at the very heart of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Most Holy Eucharist, the Four Marks of the Church, the Magisterial teaching of the Council of Trent and the salvation and sanctification of souls who, as was again the case with Amoris Laetitia, will be encouraged to put off/avoid conversion and make sacrilegious communions in the meantime.

The gravity of all of this must not be ignored or underestimated.

As someone who grew up in a Protestant milieu, I can testify that no real Protestant would ever want to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church, anyway. And, more importantly, now thankfully as a Catholic, I can bear witness to the truth that no true Catholic would ever want them to. At least, not until they had received the grace of a real conversion to the One True Faith for the salvation and sanctification of their souls.

Real Catholics do not want the sacraments to be sacrileged; the authentic harmony of the Church to be broken up into an unintelligible confusion sundered from the unity of belief and practice in all times and places; neither do they want anyone to damage their souls through sacrilegious communions.

The Catholic Church has already spoken authoratively and magisterially on this whole matter at the Council of Trent and in the centuries following. There is therefore nothing further to discuss; save for how to win souls for Christ and bring Protestants to see and join the True Church which Christ founded on the Apostles and their successors. That is true charity.

It is therefore disingenuous in the extreme to even suggest that a ''debate'' can be held on this matter. The same was, of course, true in regard to giving Holy Communion to adulterers. None of this should ever have happened. It is heresy and sacrilege, plain and simple.

The true teachings of the Magisterium on these, (and indeed on all), matters are not problems to be solved, but they are rather mysteries to be received.

In reality, the prelates promoting this nonsense are post-Catholic Modernists. And indeed, many of their Protestant interlocutors are more truthfully described as post-Protestant Modernists.

What they have in common with one another is a Modernist - really a Post-Modernist! - movement beyond Christ, a globalizing religious relativism and a slide into the shifting sands of relativistic ethical mores.

The Answer

St. Edmund Campion - the great martyr priest of England.

Anyone who loves Christ, who loves the Catholic Church, who desires authentic Christian unity worthy of the name, and who loves Protestants enough to want their conversion to the fulness of Truth, must resist this latest attack on Catholic orthodoxy with the help of the graces and spiritual energy of those who died as Catholic Martyrs during the Protestant Revolution (that misnamed ''Reformation'' in the popular lexicon).

Across Europe, and not least here in the north-west region of England, many Catholics risked and sacrificed their finances, liberties, nay even their lives, to offer and to attend secret celebrations of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to shelter the priests who offered that most august sacrifice, to print Catholic literature and to carefully hand on the True Faith to their children and descendants.

These good and holy people were not sectarian bigots. On the contrary, they were faithful servants of that one great Mystery which alone can bring real and lasting unity to all peoples: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, offered by a validly ordained Catholic priest at the very heart of the True Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is because our forefathers in the Faith remained so steadfast during that long period of persecution that we have the Faith to practice today.

As the above pictured St. Edmund Campion, that great martyr priest of England, announced when he was unjustly sentenced to death by a corrupted and anti-Catholic state: ''In condemning us, you condemn all your own ancestors, all our ancient bishops and kings, all that was once the glory of England - the island of saints, and the most devoted child of the See of Peter.''

Let us not betray Christ, the true Church, the faithful martyrs, nor those Protestants who should be given the truth in charity, but also with clarity, for the salvation and sanctification of their immortal souls.

Let us all do ourselves a favour: Purchase a copy of the Catechism of the Council of Trent, from a printer like Baronius Press or similar, and prayerfully read through it in sections with your loved ones each evening as part of your family prayers.

Let's get informed, get praying and firmly resist all of these heretical travesties.

And May the Holy Martyrs and the true Reforming Saints within the Catholic Church - Pray for us!

Keep the (True) Faith!
