From Pope Pius XI;

8. Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community - however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things - whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds.

Oh, look. Poche posted this passage from Mit Brennender Sorge again. That's always a good time to change the batteries on your smoke alarm.

Nice to know Cathinfo's resident Conciliar shill is as tireless as ever he was in towing the Novus Ordo line.

Poche always resorts to this quotation as if it somehow grants papal recognition of the invented secular "sin" of "racism." However, he seems to be too thick to appreciate - or too dishonest to admit - that the passage is actually saying that "race" is a "fundamental value of the human community" that likewise has a "necessary and honorable... function in worldly things."

Sorry, Poche, but that flies directly in the face of the canonical narrative of the (((secular counter-magisterium))) which, in its beneficence, identified and defined the Great Evil of "Racism" to us citizens of what the late John McCain lovingly called "the Post World War II Order." As any public school educated child can tell you, race is merely a "social construct" with no basis in reality! To suggest otherwise, let alone to state that this "social construct" is, in reality, a "fundamental value of the human community" with a "necessary and honorable... function in worldly things," is, by every current understanding of the word - RACIST.

But, for the moment, let's ignore that pesky elephant squatting in the midst of our little virtual tearoom and look at the proscriptive portion of the text which Poche holds so near and dear to his bleeding heart:

"Whoever exalts... any... fundamental value of the human community... above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God."

Well, who could argue with that? Elevating something - anything - above its standard value to an idolatrous level is wrong. Pick literally any earthly good, and the same applies. Whoever exalts the family above its standard value to an idolatrous level is just as wrong, and just as "far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds," no? Does it then follow that a man who loves his family and protects his family from all harm and advocates on his family's behalf is guilty of "elevating the family to an idolatrous level," or that he's guilty of some invented Marxist evil known as "Familyism?" I need hardly say it, but, of course not; no more so than loving one's race, wishing to defend one's race from harm, or advocating on one's race's behalf is an "idolatrous elevation," or proof of the existence of the invented Marxist sin of "Racism."

Mit Brennender Sorge is purportedly directed against the National Socialist government of 1930s Germany. I say "purportedly" because the docuмent itself doesn't explicitly say so. Its intended target must be inferred by the fact that it was written and published in German, rather than Latin, in a move that is, dare I say, decidedly more passive-aggressive than we are accustomed to seeing in the pre-conciliar Church. It should be no surprise, then, that the (pretty universally acknowledged) ghostwriter of the encyclical was Cardinal Pacelli, he who would very shortly place Bugnini and Montini into position for their roles in the Vatican II revolution. Indeed, the "Whoever exalts race" passage from the encyclical reminds me of nothing so much as the infamous "Every sign of unjust discrimination in their (sodomites) regard should be avoided" from the conciliar catechism, in that both are handy tips of the hat to the "morals" and mores of the secular world, while couched in statements that are still technically orthodox (albeit in the most "no duh" sense imaginable - No elevating things to idolatrous levels; no treating people unjustly - okay, great; got it. Thanks.).

But, considering the glaring fact that Catholics in good standing have been permitted to own negro slaves, hold a belief in the "Curse of Ham," and issue legislation forbidding miscegenation, all without, we can safely presume, having ever "elevated race to an idolatrous level," and likewise considering that the Catholic princes and popes who, throughout the centuries, condemned sodomites to prison and death, presumably were not acting in an unjust manner, we can say, with no fear of presumption or rashness, that anyone attempting to use Mit Brennender Sorge as "proof" of the reality of "the evil of racism," might just as well dredge up the conciliar catechism too as "proof" of the reality of "the evil of homophobia."

But back to the uncredited author of MBS. In his 1941 Allocution to the Roman Patriciate and Nobility, Pope Pius XII annunciated some common sense truths that any 21st Century "Anti-Racist" worth his salt (the ever salient Poche no less than anyone else) would have to decry as, gulp, r-r-racist!

The nature of this great and mysterious thing that is heredity - the passing on through a bloodline, perpetuated from generation to generation, of a rich ensemble of material and spiritual assets, the continuity of a single physical and moral type from father to son, the tradition that unites members of one same family across the centuries - the true nature of this heredity can undoubtedly be distorted by materialistic theories. But one can, and must also, consider this reality enormously important in the fullness of its human and supernatural truth.

One certainly cannot deny the existence of a material substratum in the transmission of hereditary characteristics; to be surprised at this one would have to forget the intimate union of our soul with our body, and in what great measure our most spiritual activities are themselves dependent upon our physical temperament. For this reason Christian morality never forgets to remind parents of the great responsibilities resting on their shoulders in this regard.

Yet of greater import still is spiritual heredity, which is transmitted not so much through these mysterious bonds of material generation as by the permanent action of that privileged environment that is the family, with the slow and profound formation of souls in the atmosphere of a hearth rich in high intellectual, moral, and especially Christian traditions, with the mutual influence of those dwelling under the same roof, an influence whose beneficial effects endure well beyond the years of childhood and youth, all the way to the end of a long life, in those elect souls who are able to meld within themselves the treasures of a precious heredity with the addition of their own merits and experiences.

Such is the most prized patrimony of all, which, illuminated by a solid faith and enlivened by a strong and loyal practice of Christian life in all its demands, will raise, refine, and enrich the souls of your children.

This reads - to me, anyway - like a succinct summation of the Catholic position against miscegenation, for, if "our most spiritual activities" are, "in... great measure," "dependent upon our physical temperament," it behooves us that much more to ensure that, as much as possible, we maintain "the continuity of a single physical and moral type from father to son, the tradition that unites members of one same family across the centuries."

Again, this was once merely common sense. Today, it is "racism." If common sense is "racist," then I must raise my voice in union with Steve Bannon's: Let them call us "racist." Let us wear it as a badge of honor.

Poche ignores the fact that Jєωs and Zionists exalt themselves and the rogue state of "Israel" (the Church is the true Israel) over all other people and nations of the world.

No people, nor any nation-state, is more applicable to Pope Pius XI's aforementioned encyclical than Jєωs and "Israel".

I don't think that sinning against charity merits a badge of honor, unless you want to be honored in Hell with Satan and his angels.

The Law of God applies to everybody.
