The Helen Kellerization of the History of the Catholic Church.
Almost every student in the last 60 or more years has read about Helen Keller via some history textbook vignette that tells us about how Helen Keller overcame total deafness and blindness to become a fully functional citizen. She learned, with the help of Anne Sullivan, to read raised letters and even to speak. American education regarding Keller has been aided by several different Hollywood productions all named The Miracle Worker. But that’s about the extent of it. Most do not know that Keller went on to graduate from Radcliff College near Cambridge, Massachusetts. What almost no one is ever taught is that Keller was a radical socialist. She joined the socialist party in 1909 and was involved in almost every radically leftist cause of her time. She was even a co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) which, unlike its name suggests, is still constantly aiding socialists and their causes today.
Most people in the United States understand that socialism deprives men and women of their God-given freedoms and their justly-earned compensations – profit and property – which is exactly why Helen Keller’s radical socialism is not included in those textbook vignettes and Hollywood movies based on her life. Historical revisionism has made Keller a hero far beyond her due, but if the truth of her adult life and her villainous associations became common knowledge, it would skewer her reputation in the realm of public opinion.
This “Kellerization” is rampant today in all forms of history, especially political and religious. The Second Vatican Council (1962 – 1965) liberalized the Catholic Church to such a degree that it no longer resembles the ancient religion from which it sprang. Today it has more in common, in many ways at least, with charismatic Protestant denominations than it does with its Apostolic origins. The liturgical abuses of the Novus Ordo Missae that have been carried out by the consiliar church’s “presbyters” over the course of the last 50 years are so common and so extreme that one can only come to the conclusion that the Novus Ordo Missae is itself a liturgical abuse.
It isn’t just the Mass that was replaced either. Add to that the “evolution” of Catholic teaching, whether that be dogma or doctrine based upon dogma, and discipline – and please note that this so-called “evolution” is nothing more than a "complete rejection." There is an old saying, summarized in Latin, “Lex Credendi, Lex Orandi,” or, “we believe as we pray.” Catholics don’t pray like they used to, and they certainly don’t believe what they used to either. Many "catholics," like Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and most of the clergy are nothing but dyed-in-the-wool socialists. Catholic Social Justice is nothing more than code for Marxism. The United States Bishops (sic) have turned the word "charity" upside down, whereby they tell us it is our duty to allow the government to legally plunder our earnings so that they might be spent to feed and clothe the needy. They can't possibly be ignorant enough to think that this is what happens! These dollars aren't spent on the needy, unless by "needy" they mean "unions and Democrat Party campaign contributions."
The changes of Vatican II, from replacing the Mass to rejecting nearly 2000 years of dogma and discipline, are the main reasons that the number of Catholics has diminished substantially. Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus has become "any religion is as good as another while on our way to Communism." Not only is Catholic membership way down, there are far fewer priests (or presbyters as some would call them), and the numbers of religious (nuns and monks) has dwindled almost to zero. Of those who still claim to be Catholic, only 22% say they attend Mass – or rather, its replacement - regularly. The changes are also the reason that the Church is infected with sexual deviants and perverts of the worst kind. That’s not to suggest that sexual deviancy and criminal behavior never occurred before Vatican II, but it was in fact extremely rare by comparison until the 1960’s, and when such abuses did take place, the Catholic hierarchy were quick to punish the offender and remove him from ministry. During the middle Ages for example, this sort of behavior by priests was considered so egregious that the offending priest was ceremoniously defrocked as each of those participating would remove a single priestly vestment and slap one side of the offender’s face. The priest then had the tendons in his hands sliced clean through to prevent the thumb and fore finger from ever closing, thereby depriving him of his ability to hold the sacred species (only the thumb and fore finger were consecrated to touch the host). Once the ceremony was complete, the offender was turned over to the state for punishment; usually execution, or in some cases, life imprisonment. Too bad we don’t handle these perverts in the same manner today.
Homosexuals, who according to the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Study make up the vast majority of criminal deviants in the modern priesthood, were forbidden to become priests prior to the Council. And even though the ban against homosexuals in the priesthood was reiterated by Pope John XXIII in 1961, very few bishops enforced it once that council had liberalized the Church. In 2000, the liberals went bonkers when some started speculating that the ban was going to be re-introduced.
And yet, with overwhelming evidence that clearly illustrates the root problem – Vatican II and its modernist, even socialist theology, the Kellerization of the facts continues. So bad is people’s understanding of that reprobate council and its effects that many think of Vatican II and the post-consiliar popes as conservative! Karol Wojtyla, former Soviet mole and Bishop of Krakow was elected pope (John Paul II), reigned over the church longer than any previous pope, and did absolutely nothing to protect child victims of his criminal subordinates. He spent most of his time apologizing for the Church’s heroic deeds, such as the Crusades, all so as not to offend Muslims and others who have different religious beliefs, and involving himself in syncretic (not to mention condemned) prayer gatherings. And yet he has been placed on the “fast track” for canonization, in violation of the church’s prudential rules governing canonizations. Indeed, the mob is clamoring for even more liberalization!

Helen Keller overcame one form of blindness and deafness, but remained blind, deaf, and dumb, in a manner of speaking, for the rest of her life. Those who champion the liberalization of the church, despite the facts, are just as stupid.
