My mother had been educated at a convent, and she had been converted to communism by my father during Stalin's most rampant period, at the beginning of the 1930s. So she had two gods, God in heaven and god on earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought that communism, the tyranny of communism, was an abomination and I beseeched God to bring that terrible evil down and he did. It was a great triumph, it took awhile, but it happened.
Communism was meant to be an alternative religion.
When I was a young man, my mother said to me, 'You can't be a communist without being a militant atheist.' So I had to be a militant atheist because I wanted to be a communist.
For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.
Early on I saw the repression and idolatry of Stalinism, and when it cracked, I was open to religion again.
Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.
The Communist vision is the vision of man without God.
Everything I did, all my actions, all of the problems I had I dedicate to God and to Chile, because I kept Chile from becoming Communist.
Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan.
Communism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.
