How A Major Communist Returned to the Faith

If you ask people about major Communist of History the average Joe in the Street can name the usual Russians and Mao. However it is strange that most Americans have no clue about a Communist that perhaps had a more profound influence on their lives and the world scene in many ways. That is the Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci.

It is strange since we have such a large Italian Immigrant population that he is sort of an unknown to many. Maybe Italian Communists make boring books and movies.

Anyway I did not know he returned to the faith in his final days. Father Z has a short post on this at “The Lord doesn’t resign Himself to lose us”

I do note that on his Wilki page it says he is a buried in a Protestant Cemetery. I asked Father Z in the comment section why this was.

Update - The Wonders of the Net and a good example how I can get sucked into it. Wiki has article on the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. Some interesting people buried there and is perhaps worth a visit if you are that way.
