A Catholic analysis of Tsar Nicholas
The author with a picture of the tragic Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Nicholas II.
''Louis XVI was the Tsar Nicholas of France, Tsar Nicholas was the Louis XVI of Russia''
- Antonio Rubi
Most of you are familiar with the murder of Tsar Nicholas and his family by the evil Bolsheviks and that they are venerated in the Russian schismatic church and a little bit by some Russian Catholics, both of the Latin rite and Byzantine Rite Catholics, and that how he is similar to the fate of King Louis XVI of France, both killed under the orders of Robespierre and Lenin respectively.
From a Catholic perspective, regarding the fate of Russia, Our Lady of Fatima predicted to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart, and that Russia would spread her errors. I believe the errors of Russia will be communism. In fact, Tsar Nicholas was very tolerant of Catholics, especially the Latin rite Catholics of Poland and Lithuania, excluding Eastern rite Catholics in Ukraine. There is even a footage of him walking and talking with a Catholic priest. It is possible that Tsar Nicholas most likely knew about the prophecies of Fatima, especially he was a devotee of Virgin Mary. Coincidentally, the date that his family was murdered on, July 17, shares the same day the Carmelite nuns of Compiegne were guillotined by the proto-Marxist French Revolution and their martyrdoms also ended the Reign of Terror.
During the reigns of Lenin (who ordered his murder) as well as that of Stalin, both schismatic, Eastern rite and Latin Rite clergy were tortured, persecuted and killed. One of the anti-commie heroes I admire is Father Skorupka, a Polish priest who fought with a crucifix in the Battle of Warsaw in 1920 against the Bolsheviks, and Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to the commies. Father Skorupka was killed in action. This is called the Miracle of Vistula. Aside from Father Skorupka, there are the martyrs of Spanish Civil War, in which the communist republican government killed priests, nuns and lay people, thus forcing many Catholics to take up arms against the commies in Spain, like the Carlists. White Russian emigres also took part in the fight against the commies in Spain.
I remember I kept watching about Tsar Nicholas (and later Louis XVI) in a restaurant near the church of Saint James in Compostela, Northern Cebu, and coincidentally, their former parish priest, Father Leon Inchausti, OAR was martyred by commies in the Spanish Civil War.
Regarding revolutionary ideologies in Novus Ordo schools, I once complained to my mom (one year before I became a traditionalist) that I wanted to study in the University of San Carlos, but mom refused for the better. When I saw that USC was supporting a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist group called ANAKBAYAN, I nearly teared up, because why would a Novus Ordo school support the commies, and despise the memory of the victims of communism, like those innocent Catholics or Tsar Nicholas. While many of the victims of the Holocaust are commemorated, no one ever gives a damn about the victims of communism, and worse, while Nazism is considered hate speech, Communism is not even considered hate speech. Instead, it is being accepted without compromise. I believe that both Nazism and Communism are both hate ideologies.
Popes Pius XI and Pius XII are known for their anti-commie stance. Pius XI wrote Divini Redemptoris, condemning communism, and Pius XII granted automatic excommunication for the Catholic who became a commie.
May the Immaculate Heart of Mary Triumph!
