Leftism Resurgens

Rumors of the death of the hard left seem to have been premature. Brazil has a new leftist government as the Daily Telegraph reports here.

A Brazilian correspondent on several Catholic lists has a request:

Pax Christi!


38 years ago, my country faced a Communist insurgence, led by a leftist President. Millions of families prayed the rosary on the streets, and the threat was over. Without sheding any blood, the military expelled the Communists and saved Brazil.


Since that date, the Communists have used another tactic, infiltrating the Academy and the press, and creating a leftist culture in the midst of our society. Now they have conquered the power the seeked. The Brazilian country has been taught to think in Marxian modes, and no-one is praying the rosary on the streets. A Communist has been elected President, and our country needs your prayers.


May Our Lady of Czestochowa, who liberated Poland, free our country. May our Patron Saint, St. Peter of Alcantara, free our country.


I beg you all, please, to pray for Brazil, once a great Catholic country. Pray the Rosary, with or without addicional mysteries. Pray it so that Our Lady comes to our rescue and delivers us from the hands of the Evil One.


Your brother in Christ,


Carlos
