The Bolsheviks had their own ten commandments and, like the church,
they also mocked their opponents.
The totalitarianism of the church belongs to the past but if the church
should ever regain its former power, its atrocities would probably be
repeated. The Jesuit historian Luigi Ciccutini believed in 1950 that the
church had the divine right to judge and intervene in any matter what-
soever. He claims that the church was justified in burning Filippo
Giordano Bruno at the stake in February 1600.
A similar danger awaits us if the communists (with the help of the
financial elite) should ever grow strong again. After all their atrocities, we
should ignore their pretty slogans.
One can characterise both Christianity and communism as extremely
anti-cultural ideologies, both of which persecuted leading cultural figures.
Both have impeded the free development of science. Due to the reactio-
nary attitude of the church, many truths, scientific, religious and esoteric,
have still not been accepted.
One of the worst crimes of Christianity was the arson ordered by the
patriarch Theophilus, which led to the complete destruction of the ancient
world's largest library in the Serapis temple of Alexandria in A. D. 391.
The root of this crime was the church's hatred and intolerance of know-
ledge springing from classical pagan Greco-Roman culture. Another
example is the murder of the female philosopher and mathematician
Hypatia in Alexandria in A. D. 415.
The communists also burned books and persecuted cultural figures.
They even prohibited the conductor's profession because "the orchestras
could play perfectly well without conductors". Later, seeing that their
orchestras could not manage without their leaders, the communists had to
change their tune.
Pope Leo X (1513-1521) believed it right and proper to use the
"wonderful fairy tale about Jesus Christ which has given us so many
advantages", as he stood upon the festive board and raised his glass.
(Henry T. Laurency, "Livskunskap Fyra", Skovde, 1995, p. 179.)
Moses Hess, one of the most important founders of communist ideo-
logy, believed communism to be a perfect lie to spread destruction with.
(Moses Hess, "Correspondence" / "Briefwechsel", The Hague, 1959.)
It is regrettable that ideologies whose fundamental principle is intole-
rance still halt moral development. Two Swedish bishops, Gottfrid Billing
