The great struggle
By Sist. Anna Maria Fedeli - Ultimately, everything in the world is the struggle of God, Our Lord, to save souls and the devil to lose them.
Note from the translator: Sist. Anna Maria Fedeli is the widow of Orlando Fedeli. This is an adaptation of the following video .
A very common mistake is to be very naive about the objectives of those who provide them with fiction, who make the movies, who make the soap operas, etc.
The world is a war! People who think of themselves less naive think that CNN1 and all these great communications powerhouses, they're there to make money.
Sure! There are people who are interested in money, these are the least important people, who misunderstand the world. I don't mean to say that CNN doesn't want to make money, it's obvious that it wants to make money. But money is also at the service of something else. The war in the world is a war of ideas. Because the war in the world is a war for souls. Ultimately, everything in the world is the struggle of God, Our Lord, to save souls and the devil to lose them. The higher people are placed, the more they understand the war for what it is.
There's a great French businessman, the owner of Le Point, an important French magazine, a kind of NYT for the French, very widespread, widely read magazine. This gentleman has the following sentence: "the Being, this is the great enemy". This gentleman who publishes magazines with light pornography, like the NYT, interviews with important politicians, some movie reviews, that kind of stuff; He knows what he is fighting for, "the Being is the great enemy". So, to think that fiction, especially for children and young adults, have exclusively entertainment purposes and do not carry ideas, is very naive.
The great struggle in the world is for the conquest of minds. In a certain way, by the destruction of intelligences. The more people are prevented from being able to observe reality and draw conclusions, the more people are prevented from being able to think and reason, the easier it is to command them, the easier it is to take them where they want.
The war in the world is a war of ideas. Because the war in the world is a war for souls. Ultimately, everything in the world is the struggle of God, Our Lord, to save souls and the devil to lose them. The higher people are placed, the more they understand the war for what it is.
Note from the translator: As previously mentioned, this is not a direct translation. Ms. Fedeli is talking about Rede Globo, a great free-to-air television network in Brazil. So, I took the freedom to adapt to CNN since the general idea is the same.
