Ummmmm...I think I might be enjoying this book....⚔️👺🐺💎

Pius XI: "There would be today neither Socialism nor Communism if the rulers of the nations had not scorned the teachings and maternal warnings of the Church."

Just realised why everyone hates on significant figures! Yeah...they're a pain 😭.

Russian Commissioner of Education: "We hate Christians and Christianity. Even the best of them must be considered our worst enemies. Christian love is an obstacle to the development of the revolution. Down with the love of one's neighbor! What we want is hate....Only then can we conquer the universe."

Lenin: "Marxism cannot be conceived without atheism...atheism without Marxism is incomplete and inconsistent."

The preface is sooo cool! He talks about the Holy Ghost being a shield of protection in the real world.

'The Present is the point at which time touches eternity.'

Screwtape: "I would make it a rule to eradicate from my patient any strong personal taste which is not actually a sin, even if it is something quite trivial such as a fondness for county cricket or collecting stamps or dinking coca. Such things, I grant you, have nothing of virtue in them; but there is a sort of innocence and humility and self-forgetfulness about them which I distrust."

Wow! This is soooo good. The first chapter was a real tear jerker though 🥹! Thrilled I'm not left "fifteen years earlier" for the entire book !

"In their [the Communist's] anxiety to make women "equal with men" and prevent them from becoming private property, they degraded womankind to the lowest and most primitive level."

Screwtape: "One must face the fact that all the talk about His [ the Enemy's] love for men, and His service being perfect freedom, is not (as one would gladly believe) mere propaganda, but an appalling truth." "We want cattle who can finally become food; He wants servants who can finally become sons."
