During a Communion service she had a vision of an old slave being beaten to death by a white ruffian. This became the story of Uncle Tom’s flogging. The book was a stick of dynamite driven into the foundations of slavery.

Charles Spurgeon, the greatest Baptist preacher of the last century, was also an ardent fighter against slavery. He wrote, “If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.” Wilberforce, a Christian and a capitalist, caused slavery to be abolished in the British Empire long before America’s Civil War. Lincoln, also a Christian, issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves in the USA.

The theology of liberation, which ignores these facts, is widely urged in the Third World. Its theoreticians can call themselves Christian only because of the chaos in thinking prevalent in the church at this moment.

According to the July 28, 1949 decree of the Holy Office of the Roman Catholic Church, the following categories of Catholics are to be excommunicated:

Whosoever belongs to the Communist Party;

Whosoever makes propaganda for it in any way;

Whosoever votes for it and its candidates;

Whosoever writes for the Communist press, reads and spreads it;

Whosoever remains a member in a Communist organization;

Whosoever confesses the materialistic and anti-Christian teaching of atheist Communism;

Whosoever defends and spreads it.

This punishment applies also to parties that make common cause with Communism.

Many of the revolutionist theologians belong only formally to the Catholic Church, and yet have a great influence among believers. In the Orthodox churches, too, there exists a tendency to exploit, for the benefit of communism, the spiritual energies that religion awakens and channels.

Liberation theologians proclaim an earthly paradise. Communism is this paradise, capitalism its foe. The church no longer waits for the coming of Jesus in the clouds of heaven. The triumph of communism will be equated with His coming. This explains why in Communist countries the God-hating Communist government has paid the clergy.

It needs to be said that among both Catholics and Orthodox, there are also bishops who fear absorption into earthly pursuits and seek rather a deeper spiritual life. Not all have bowed to Baal.

As for Protestants, in hearings before the U.S.A. House Committee on Un-American Activities on February 26, 1966, Richard Arens, general counsel to the Committee, declared:

Thus far, in the leadership of the National Council of Churches, we have found over 100 persons in leadership capacity with either Communist-front records or records of services in Communist causes. The aggregate affiliations of the leadership is in the thousands.
