Catholic during the Great Apostasy

I always say that to see the Truth, a person must pause. Break away from the rush of the crowd, which often heads toward the abyss. Step aside and calmly analyze what they see. Only then can one accurately assess reality. Everyone should do this—whether they consider themselves a traditionalist, modernist, democrat, or republican. It doesn’t matter, because all human ideologies—sooner or later—lead to ruin, if only through their own errors.

People rush through life, fighting battles—often unaware of who they are truly fighting. This leads to surprising, sometimes tragic situations.

For better understanding, I will cite a historical example—brutal but profoundly telling.
On September 17, 1939, the Soviet Union treacherously attacked Poland, supporting Nazi Germany. The friendly handshakes between the Wehrmacht and Red Army soldiers became a symbol of the similarity between these two totalitarian ideologies. It doesn’t matter that they later turned on each other—their common goal was to destroy Poland.

What happened then is not just history. The same mechanism of action—apparent opposition but actual collaboration—can be observed today as well.

This is clearly seen, for example, during the Warsaw Uprising—by the way, I consider the order to start the fight one of the greatest crimes in Polish history. The Red Army stood on the other side of the Vistula River and calmly waited as the Germans razed Warsaw to the ground and massacred its inhabitants, as in the Wola massacre.

Wasn’t this silent collaboration?

The Soviets justified the attack on September 17 with alleged concern for the population. The question is—who would have killed more: the Germans or the NKVD? On the Vistula, Stalin decided to “rest,” allowing Hitler to complete the work of destruction.

You may wonder what this has to do with today’s politics or faith. Quite a lot.
Look at politics from a distance: we have sides that seemingly fiercely oppose each other—like the Nazis and communists—but in key moments, they start speaking with one voice. People don’t notice this, though the consequences are tragic.

The year 1989—overthrowing communism, freedom, euphoria. The result for Poland? Millions of emigrants, poverty, and the enrichment of post-communist elites on national wealth.

The times of the so-called pandemic—all political and religious options supported drastic, illogical systemic measures that had nothing to do with science or common sense. There were exceptions—but, as we know, the exception proves the rule.
Did all these decisions really serve health, or were they a test of societal obedience?

Similarly, in the realm of faith. The revelations of Faustina Kowalska—the spiritual successor of Feliksa Kozłowska, condemned by the Church—are promoted by modernists, which is unsurprising since modernism is a collection of heresies. What is surprising, however, is that the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X does the same. This should raise a red flag in many minds.
Could it be that they—despite their noble stance on many issues—are beginning to succumb to the same logic of universal compromise?

Karol Wojtyła—praised by all political factions. It’s a pity it wasn’t for fidelity to the deposit of faith. Many criticize Gazeta Wyborcza, but they don’t wonder why it wrote about John Paul II in a positive tone.

The Cursed Soldiers—the last knights of the Republic—were fought by communists but also by the Church. In 1950, they were called “bandits.” Primate Wyszyński had to explain himself in Rome before Pius XII, but the condemnation of the Unbroken, who often wore scapulars of the Virgin Mary, did not change.

1950—a pact with the devil.

The principle is simple: when everyone speaks with one voice, it doesn’t bode well.

Why am I writing this? Because there is widespread silence about the persecution of Christians.
The main perpetrators of murders, displacements, rapes, and discrimination are followers of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Yet these religions—especially Islam—are promoted in the supposedly atheistic West.

According to the World Watch List report by Open Doors, over 380 million Christians live in conditions of high or extreme risk of persecution—a few million more than in previous years. The top fifty countries with the worst situations are dominated by Muslim states (Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan), communist ones (North Korea—index 98/100), and Hindu ones (India—a 20% increase in attacks on churches).

Last year, 4,476 Christians were documented as killed for their faith, mainly in Nigeria (3,100 victims), along with 3,123 cases of rape and sexual harassment. This data rarely makes it to Western media—they prefer to focus on other topics.

The Global Christian Relief report clearly shows: in the 20 countries analyzed, Islamic extremism and Hindu nationalism drive the persecution of Christians.

Ukraine—a country glorifying Nazi “heroes”—also persecutes Orthodox Christians. And this likely helps it gain Western support.
All European political factions support this war—and, as is easy to predict, it will end badly.

Imagine Germany officially glorifying Hitler—what an outcry and indignation there would be! Israel would protest first. Meanwhile, Ukraine honors the UPA or SS Galicia—formations known for their brutality against Poles, Jews, and Russians. And no one protests.
Everyone is silent. All sides support.

Listening to mainstream media, you’ll never notice this. You won’t understand that you live in a matrix that hates Christianity—and more broadly: hates humanity. A world is being created of people with robotic minds, reacting only to the system’s stimuli. Pavlov’s dogs—no further explanation needed.

We are witnessing an Islamic invasion of Europe—it’s a fact. All political forces support it: some openly, like the current governments in Warsaw, others covertly. But something else is more interesting.

The war in the Middle East. Israel is waging a ruthless fight against the Palestinians. Almost all political factions—from the left to the right—condemn Israel and side with Palestine or Iran. In reality, a free Palestine means a stronger terrorist organization, namely Hamas. But no one talks about persecuted Christians. Even the far right—though I dislike the term—defends Palestinians, remaining silent about suffering Christians, despite constantly emphasizing attachment to “Catholic values.” This behavior is so illogical it’s absurd. It’s like defending neighbors while failing to see that their family is being murdered around them. Of course, every crime should be condemned, but the sudden surge of defenders of Palestinians, Iran, etc., is unreal. So many pro-Islamic activists, even on the streets of larger cities, detached from their virtual world, is very curious.

There’s an outcry: Israel is attacking, but the media is silent. Yes, mainstream media doesn’t show the whole truth, but everyone else talks and shows it to the point of exhaustion.

About persecuted and murdered Christians, there’s no outcry, just silence; from time to time, something breaks through, someone says something, but otherwise—silence.

Israel, as if to show it doesn’t only hate Islam, also attacked a Christian settlement.

But let’s pay attention to one thing. Would the fall of Israel somehow help Europe, which is being destroyed by so-called multiculturalism, or in practice by Islam, which is ideologically completely opposed to the ideology of globalists, or in other words, communists and Nazis, considering the unconditional support for Ukraine proclaimed by almost all European governments? Rather unlikely. It would strengthen Muslim fanaticism, thus leading to even greater destruction of Europe.
So it’s always worth asking questions and seeking answers yourself. You’ll find answers faster in the silence of your own soul, because you can hear God, and thus the Truth, only in silence. By rejecting the noise of the media, the clamor of the world, and thus the opinions of others.

Don’t trust those who act this way. Always pay attention when a topic is silenced by all sides.
As I always say: every system needs a safety valve.
The only way to detect deception is to look for a lack of logic or lies in the actions of people or groups.

I know how hard it is, as you practically have to reject everything in which you detect even a hint of lies or lack of logic.

Let’s remember the most important thing from the perspective of Truth and Logic: if Russia is evil, it doesn’t mean Ukraine is good, and if Israel violates human rights in Palestine, it doesn’t mean Hamas is good.

Europe is in chaos not because Israel or Russia is evil, but because people can’t pause and see, for example, that the USA is making great profits from this war, and Russia, looking at economic indicators, is too. That’s why neither side is in a hurry to end this war. Europe, which pays the most for it all, should be the most interested in ending the war in Ukraine, but also in the Middle East.
There’s just one problem: Europe has political elites with the intelligence level of monkeys. I immediately apologize to those wonderful animals, because even they know that killing their own offspring (abortion) leads to the extinction of the species.

The problem is that people have dead souls, see nothing, and hear nothing. God patiently waits, but let’s remember that in 1917, the Virgin Mary in Fatima warned that people are already offending God too much. God’s mercy lies precisely in patiently waiting for justice. Giving a chance for conversion.

It’s worth thinking, worth asking, but above all, you must convert to see God, that is, the Truth.
