You would think that Catholic pious souls would at least respect and practice an often slighted moral virtue called intellectual honesty. In no way was Vladimir Lenin a traitor to the Russian people, to the vast majority of working class Russians. And nothing RACIST about him. He made impassioned speeches against anti-Semitism - a norm in Czarist Orthodox Russia. A study of history will show that revolutions HAPPEN with or without the approval of the various and contradictory official " voices of God " in gaudy vestments-and often with state authority.
             The best authorities on the morality of the Russian Revolution in 1917 are the ones martyred by Joseph Stalin- like Leon Trotsky. Read Trotsky's " History of the Russian Revolution ". It is more instructive than the TV drivel of Saint ( ?) Fulton J. Sheen in the era of Cold War McCarthyism.
      Not for nothing the famous astronomer Carl Sagan smuggled Trotsky's history into Russia just before the collapse of " communism "
