    How the specter of syncretism is being used to islamize the faith

    Great. So you can answer the questions. How exactly does one share a soul? How could Marxism, which is atheistic in nature, have any designs at all towards the soul?

    St. John Henry Newman to be Doctor of the Church

    We have a new Doctor of the church... https://aleteia.org/2025/07/31/st-john-henry-newman-to-be-doctor-of-the-church/ The headline is a little misleading. He has already been named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo.

    The New Testament may not support Marxism as some say.

    I believe you are reading more into the statement than was intended. No one here has made a personal attack. Well, except you...but I believed that was a response to high emotions, and I chose to ignore it. For reference...

    The Soviet Union was evil. It is a matter of history. That says nothing about some of her people. I was unaware this discussion was in any way denigrating the people that lived in the former Soviet Union.

    Please indicate where exactly I have not been civil. It is true that I doubt your sources. I do not believe looking critically at these is in any way aggression or uncivil.

    Father Carlos Martins cleared of misdemeanor charges after incident at Illinois parish

    This investigative reporter did a lot of work investigating this. It is worth a watch. Given what we are seeing, I cannot see how anyone could think that Fr Carlos Martins had done anything at all to contribute to this. I keep seeing people try to foist some blame onto him, but I just cannot...

    I am not the one that made the claims. That your sources prove problematic for your argument is no reason to get snippy.

    Actually I think two things here. 1 - you didn't address the first question. 2 - you have changed from discussion of a political system to discussion of individuals of a particular political persuasion. Goal posts motion duly noted.

    How the specter of syncretism is being used to islamize the faith

    One cannot be baptized more then once. I have seen and heard the priest pronounce during a conditional baptism "If this one is, in fact, not baptized, I baptize you..." So there you go. The rule. We do not know if the person is baptized. So we baptize conditionally. If the person is baptized...

    I wasn't clear in my first question of this. I shall be more explicit here. How exactly does one share a soul? How could Marxism, which is atheistic in nature, have any designs at all towards the soul?

    True. But the source listed is outside of the propaganda system that was in place. Of course, one still has to wonder how they got these statistics from outside of the soviet systems that were in place.

    I would believe this as well, but they did NOT round other statistics in the page.
