The secret agreement
Giacomo Galeazzi reviews for La Stampa the new biography of Paul VI written by Andrea Tornielli, and mentions that what many considered a conspiracy theory was true: there was indeed a secret agreement, led by Cardinal Tisserand, between the Soviet Union and the Holy See (under John XXIII) in 1962 - an agreement which Paul VI also respected. As Galeazzi says:
In a note of November 15, 1965, in fact, Montini explicitly mentions among "the commitments of the Council" also that of "not mentioning Communism (1962)". The indication of the date at the end of the sentence written by Paul VI refers to the secret agreement, related by Tisserand, between Rome and Moscow.
And this would explain why the Second Vatican Council, which dealt with all sorts of issues, relevant and irrelevant alike, ignored the most challenging menace of its time: Communism.

The Church since Vatican II cannot condemn the most pressing evils.

There is something very revealing in the way the most reviled people were those who were most sincerely and firmly anti-Communist.

It reveals the true character of our system.  Those who go the root of something like Communism inevitably find themselves confronting those in high places in our own system.  The diabolical nature of our system is thereby exposed.  And it makes the dirty liberals very angry when Communism is condemned, because you are condemning their secret thoughts, the evils they secretly support.

And sad to say, we have seen this terrible betrayal within the Church.  And the failure to condemn Communism was certainly a sign of betrayal.

Well said. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
