The Deviland Karl Marx by Paul Kengor, though an overall beneficial read, was a bit of astruggle for me in some places. This is because it is written from a RomanCatholic perspective, all Popes and RC-isms and jargon. It should thereforeappeal mostly to those who, unlike me, are of the RC persuasion.

Kengor, inhis chapter of Acknowledgements, writes,

I thank the saints for a heavenly place to turnto each night for peace of soul. And to them and the entire cloud of witnesses inthe Church, I ask for intercession and prayer for me, for my family, and forthe souls of every person mentioned in this book. And yes, that certainlyincludes Karl Marx as well. p. 405, paperback edition.

As far aswe know, Karl Marx never repented and believed in the Gospel as commanded byJesus (Mark 1:15). Therefore, don’t waste your time praying to those alreadydead or for a man (Marx) presently burning in Hell. Pray for your own soul!

That beingsaid, Kengor does supply much useful information from careful research into thedarkness of Marx and Marxism, including how this twisted worldview has evolved,morphing into today’s Cutural Marxism via Saul Alinski, Barak Obama et al.
