For many years the Cuban dictator He was entered in the security plans of the WWF section that deals with endangered species endangered. It is in fact the end of the eighties that orphans of the old Communist Party came into this plan for the protection and safeguarding.

Islamization

the divine eviction Executive …

The famous saying of the Lord Jesus about the "turn the other cheek", always cited and mocked by the enemies of Christianity as a sign of his supposed cowardly spirit, thus it does not have anything to do with the problem of the response to an enemy, ma, as it is clear from the context, is an exhortation to patience and willingness to help others. Likewise, the '' love for the enemy ", It is not love for his enemy action, because it would be love of sin, but love for the good sides of the enemy as a person. The bad action should be deleted, punished and repaired or atoned.

… the reality in a cartoon ?

My Pastoral Letter It born from a mystical experience I had on the heights of our beloved particular Church. Indeed, while I pondered between the stones of the old-growth ruins of my ancient Church Cathedral in this remote corner of Anatolia, the Holy Spirit was manifested to me in the form of a dove that has taken to twirl on a pistacchieto. The Dove has run then placed over a plant of pistachio nuts, disappearing shortly after; and its disappearance the plant caught fire. At the time I was saddened by the unexplained spontaneous combustion, also because the Anatolia pistachios are very valuable, they say that they are even more than those of Bronte. But the thing that struck me was that the sole of pistacchieto burned, not consumed. That image reminded me anything, but at the time I did not understand what. Then I remembered a lecture years ago at the The Court of the Gentiles by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, one who speaks with Masons the sun for 24 hours [cf. WHO], but of which I do not remember the exact title, roughly he sounded so: "Rudolf Bultmann and biblical allegories". A quel point, as if my memory was of awakened suddenly, I blurted out: eureka ! [eureka, what does it mean: I found!]. So I said to myself: "Of course, It is the allegory of the burning bush of Moses Patriarch!» [cf. Is 3,1-15]. A quel point, while the fire burned the pistachio not consume plant, in a total calm that seemed a still image, no breath of wind and without any movement, the voice of the Holy Spirit hit me reproachfully:

- "... Tell me a little ': but I will I look like an allegory?».

I fell to the ground and I answered:

– «No, My God and my all, begin, center and ultimate end of all things in heaven and on earth. You're not an allegory. Mine was a way to tell all theological, according to modern exegesis weather e new testamentary, or maybe you've never heard of Walter Kasper, Bruno Forte, Nunzio Galantino and Enzo Bianchi, Alberto Melloni …?».

I still question the Spirit of the Lord:

- "Where did you hear, of these so called allegories?».

I reply with their faces:

- "In Rome, my Lord. Of these allegories he speaks in all pontifical universities. Throughout the Old Testament is an allegory, but also the New Testament: the miracles of the Son consubstantial with the Father from whom you proceed, They are explained as an allegory; the Body of Christ in the Eucharist, It is an allegory, or better to say a transfinalization, a transignification, born genius of one of the greatest reformers of Christian history, Martin Lutero, talking about consustanziazione, teach Liturgical Institute of St. Anselm Pontifical Athenaeum [cf. WHO]».

Then there is silence. I did not dare more replicate, because the Spirit of the Lord will answer if he t'interroga, man certainly can not question the Divine Person of the Holy Spirit, you can pray, adore and glorify with the Father and the Son, but not to interrogate, do not mention it, Mica is a charismatic Renewal in the Holy Spirit, or a Pentecostal! And while I was in silence, the Holy Spirit has spoken again:

- "I'll have to decide sooner or later, to go to Rome to visit the Vatican City. I talked recently also with the other two Persons of the Holy Trinity. I was told that deserve to visit the Sistine Chapel and see its frescoes, they say that they are very beautiful. Lately, Father gave, He said he would go to visit a place; God the Son, the begotten not made of the same substance as the Father, He said he would go on a visit to another place on Earth. A quel point, I who proceed from the Father and the Son, I said that I would go willingly to Rome to visit the Vatican City, given that there have never been. However, if things are as you "allegorically" say, Perhaps my visit would be just appropriate, if anything making me accompanied by one of my body guard favorites, The Exterminating Angel of Sodom and Gomorrah, so let us see them to him, as allegories are made, but above all, as it is the one true God's mercy on you now turned into molasses !».

I question the Spirit of the Lord:

- "Because, He had retired here in prayer and reflection? What are you reading, on this laptop screen? And to think that Moses had to make an impact in his time on two stone tablets. Today it would have been enough had climbed Mount Sinai with an Ipad, if anything, he would resume the burning bush and then would loaded on You Tube channel ".

I answer:

- "I was reading the last letter of the Apostolic Vicar of the Son Divine Land, the Incarnate Word, Christ gave …

Replica of the Holy Spirit:

- "I see. Time ago, during one of our usual briefing between Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Son has raised several concerns about this his Vicar on earth expressing ourselves: "For the first time, on Earth I have a good Vicar and misercordioso me, praised by all those who have always hated and still they continue to hate me and my church, as evidenced by the signs of my passion remained etched in my Glorious Body. Because if today I incarnassi again, would find a way and manner to make me a worse end of your previous ". On hearing those words of the Son, He expressed to the Father and to the question: “Maybe we came to the end of time, alla Russia?” The Father replied to me: "You, Holy Spirit, since you made friends with the Angel of Sodom and Gomorrah Exterminator, can not wait to sow salt statues in the Church of My Son, and you are right to desire. The Son resumed telling speech: "It is not yet time, because the worst has not yet come ". He turned to the Father and to me, It stated: "Yet, in my time, I was so clear when I said ... “when the Son of Man will return, will he find faith on the earth?” [cf. LC 18, 1-8]».

And again it turns to me with a question:

- "Do you think that this question raised at the time by the Incarnate Word, the Consubstantial Son to the Father, the have also taken as an allegory, or as a poetic license? However, you were telling me earlier that you were intent on reading and meditating the last Apostolic Letter ... ".

- "And, I was meditating because the thought of writing in my turn a Pastoral Letter addressed by these ancient ruins the souls of priests and faithful of the particular Church of Laodicea Combusta. Sai, I'm a Bishop, but Titular Bishop, my diocese exists only on archaeological maps. For that I return every so often to the souls of priests and Believers in Christ that one day they were, in this now non-existent Church of Laodicea Combusta ".

He meets the Spirit of the Lord:

- "Of this you need not worry, even the bishops who hold many large Diocese, now they are also reduced to turn to the spirits of the dead, think of those of Germany, of Belgium, of Holland … But it may be that your dead will hear, because they are really dead, I mean physically dead; while those of many other Bishops, who are the living dead, dead to the sense of life and grace that I bestow on whoever receives and accepts, there, so those who are the real dead. Or as he once told me the Apostle Peter, while in Paradise he recounted his story in Rome, where before dying crucified learned during his stay in various dialect expressions: “every Bishop, in fonno, I know’ always worth mortacci them his !». Ah, that hard work I had to do with Simone, He called Peter from the Incarnate Word, the Divine Son. Perhaps Christ God called him Peter because the Galilean fisherman had a hard head like a stone. I barely had time to take it back by the hair, while he was giving back to the run in Rome during the persecutions. Sai, the story of Whither goest thou, O, It is not at all an allegory, it happened for real. In short, the grace and glory of martyrdom, Peter we just had to offer it all three on a silver platter. But I must say that he, come to the gallows, he put his, devoutly humble as he was, asking to be crucified upside down, not feeling worthy to suffer as the Word of God made man.

- "Spirit of the Lord, I dare, as Abraham did during his "deal" with God the Father [cf. Gen 18, 1-33], then ask ... ".

- "And do you want that I have not already read in your heart? Forget about it, I have just appointed Peter, you have immediately thought of Paul, vero? But talk ... tell me ".

- "Here, I imagine that the two Blessed Apostles, After their embrace in Rome, Today in Paradise heed to the Church of Christ ... ".

- "Son, to take heed to the Church of Christ, you can be sure, However, as regards the fact that you are embraced in Rome before reaching respectively to their martyrdom, This means that it is your beautiful allegory! Forget about it, to find another touchy subject and the confused ideas as the Blessed Peter, you have to make a leap forward two thousand years and get to your time. Or maybe you think in Antioch, when the Blessed Paul rebuked him in a harsh tone and hard [cf. Gal 2, 1-11] Blessed Peter took it well? Nothing but hug, impermalì is like a monkey which is torn by hand a banana! And basically, What was Peter's problem? His problem was the saying and not saying, the attempt to stand with one foot on a bracket and one in another, the ndivago in the mbiguo. If someone advises to? In any case, know one thing: Blessed Paul was only his mouth offer loan, because work, in Antioch, all of it was my doing. It was I who by the mouth of Blessed Paul Blessed Peter put their backs to the wall ".

- "Holy Spirit of the Lord, with the humility of Abraham, I would even dare ... even if you've already read what I have in my mind ... "

- "Of course, But open your mouth, creates, speaks …"

- "I was wondering: it would not be possible to speak today to the mouth of the Blessed Apostle Paul? ».

- "And you think I have not already done? I recently made even better, because if I turned to Antioch to Saint Peter by the mouth of one Apostle, today, to Peter, I got geared up for the mouth of four apostles [cf. i dubia Four Cardinals WHO]. And you should also know what happened, or do you think perhaps that we, in Paradise, we have a group of angels who look after the press every day? Simply said what happened: Peter he has not even deigned to answer. But never mind, rather we come to your Pastoral Letter addressed - as would the Blessed Peter was born a Jew and died a Roman -, a them your mortacci ... If you want I can give you a couple of inspirations for this your epistle …».

A quel point, the Spirit of the Lord, He inspired my Letter Pastoral …

Venerable Priests and beloved sons and daughters of the Church of Laodicea Combusta: Peace to all of you, and grace from our Lord Jesus Christ.

the Bishop of Laodicea Combusta receives the grace of the Holy Spirit before writing his Pastoral Letter

Through this Pastoral Letter I want to show you a step from the Apostolic Letter of Our Lord Jesus Christ Holiness the Pope Francis, in reiterating that the shameful and grievous sin of abortion, He gives all priests a faculty which until recently competed me, your Bishop; powers delegated to me by Major Penitentiary of our Diocese, an elderly priest, deep priestly piety model, right to forgive this sin reserved for the Bishop. He writes the Roman Pontiff in his Apostolic Letter:

.

[12] Under this requirement, because no obstacle stand between the reconciliation request and God's forgiveness, grant henceforth to all priests, by virtue of their ministry, the power to absolve those who have procured sin of abortion. As I was granted for the Jubilee period it is now extended in time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary. I would like to reiterate with all my might that abortion is a grave sin, because it puts an end to an innocent life. With equal force, however, I can and I must say that there is no sin that God's mercy can not reach and destroy when it finds a repentant heart that asks to be reconciled with the Father. every priest, therefore, you face guide, support and comfort in accompanying penitents in this way special reconciliation [cf. WHO].

.

As well understood, remove the reserve the sin of abortion It was an act of great mercy and tenderness, manifested through the power of absolution given to all those priests who show more than ever to be prepared and quite versed in the sacred ministry of confessors, also spiritually, one need only see them when in jeans shirt and short sleeves strolling directly into the Roman basilicas with penitents hereinafter, confessing in a conversational between a smile and the other, or responding during confession also to the mobile phone …

.

Well, Venerable Priests of the Church of Laodicea Combusta, "By virtue of your ministry," I have decided to grant you the right to carry out not only by the sin of abortion procured, but also by the crime provided for by canon 1370 – § 1, which recites:

.

Who uses physical force against the Roman Pontiff, incurs excommunication automatic reserved to the Apostolic See, to which, whether it is a cleric, You can be added depending on the gravity of the crime, another penalty, not excluding dismissal from the clerical state.

.

It shall have power to absolve from this sin reserved to the Apostolic See, based on the meaning of those proportions built on common sense. Indeed, reserving the absolution of sin, far from being a lack of mercy and tenderness, implies first of all specify and clarify, with the Reserve, The extreme gravity of that particular sin; and this is called healthy pastoral teaching, never to be confused with legalism, least of all with the lack of mercy. For if sin is a disease, and the priest is the physician responsible for the care, always logical rigor wonder: spend, discovering that he suffers from a tumor, instead of relying on the care of a specialist in oncology, It would turn to primary care physicians in the country? Reserve a sin and put the acquittal of such a sin to Bishop, or in some other cases, the Apostolic See, it simply means that the general practitioner, ascertaining the presence of a tumor, refers the patient suffered from a good specialist in oncology.

.

Address the clinical skills of the cancer specialist, implies also remember and recognize the severity of the disease, of the sin committed, To this serious enough to require adequate specialist care, which would be the absolution of the same by a particular confessor. This has always been the way, everything pastoral teaching, certainly not merely or coldly legal and legalistic, the criterion of reserve of those sins reserved to the Bishop, as of other sensitive instead to the Apostolic See.

.

The date concession to my Priests to absolve from crime reserved to the Apostolic See provisions of canon 1370 – § 1, It is based on genus of that aequitas before the same jus graeco-roman and that dates back to’ancient jus nations ; the A aequitas He holds itself and also for himself the sense of proportion. I'll explain: attempt on the sacred person of the Roman Pontiff, it can be possible, but it is an intention not easy to achieve, enjoying fact His Holiness a protection network is internal to the Vatican State, and above all external, for example, when you move into other national territories. The attack in St. John Paul II in St. Peter's Square, and even before that to the Blessed Paul VI in Manila, show us that realize this crime may be possible, but precisely because of these two recent episodes the sacred person of the Roman Pontiff today is particularly guarded and protected.

.

The aborted fetus, as is well know, no way enjoys certain protection mechanisms and protection, and abort it altogether is something extremely easy. Add to this that the fetus is not protected by the Vatican Gendarmerie, the security services, by the various police forces during his travels, but above all and first of all it is not protected by his own mother who decides to suppress an innocent human life, often she judged as a good available and then suppressed. All thanks to its quell'aborto that Mrs. Emma Bonino - that has often been a distinguished guest of Pope Francis, who had recently also call it "a great Italian" [cf. WHO, WHO] - Continues to proudly call the "great social achievement '.

..

Therefore, if all of you, Presbyters, now you can carry out without reservation the abominable sin of killing of an innocent human life devoid of any defense, per aequitas and the common sense of proportion, I will grant you your Bishop faculty of absolving from the crime provided for by canon 1370 – §1 still reserved to the Apostolic See, if anyone would do great at the sacred person of one of the men defended, protected and controlled the world.

.

In this concession, It follows the same spirit of aequitas, also based on a sense of proportion, The inevitable reform of the sacred rite of consecration of priests and consequently that of the Chrism Mass. During the rite of ordination the priest promises fact obedience to the bishop and to all his successors, in a spirit of free and filial piety, while during the Chrism Mass the priests renew their priestly promises before the holy Bishop.

.

In his Apostolic Letter, the Roman Pontiff, addressing with fatherly mercy and tenderness to the members of the Fraternity of St. Pius X, states with caring heart as pastor :

.

[12 – § 1] In the Year of Jubilee I had granted to the faithful who for various reasons attend churches officiated by the priests of the Society of St. Pius X of receiving validly and lawfully sacramental absolution of their sins. For the pastoral good of these faithful, and trusting in the good will of their priests to recoup, with God's help, full communion in the Catholic Church, I establish for my own decision to extend this power over the Jubilee period, until further about it, because no one will ever lack the sacramental sign of reconciliation through forgiveness of the Church [cf. WHO]

We therefore inform, Venerable Presbyters of the Church of Laodicea Combusta, that obedience to the Supreme Pontiff and the Bishops in communion with him and with the Church, today is considered to be repealed "so that no one will ever lack the sacramental sign of reconciliation through forgiveness of the Church". Indeed, if this Priestly Fraternity who denies the authority of the last Ecumenical Council considering peppered with modernist heresies, who judges his documents in blatant contradiction with the Catholic tradition and the perennial teaching of the Church, This is in spite are given by the Roman Pontiff similar concessions, per aequitas - But here it is appropriate to say also for human and Christian integrity -, any priest must also be granted and recognized the full right to disobey his own bishop, and also it is his especially given the option to refuse the Magisterium of the Supreme Pontiff. Therefore I tell you that from today, each, can consider itself free to refuse to recognize, Authority and the Magisterium of the Church, what in its opinion and in his spare liking it sees fit not to recognize, and the whole "for the pastoral good of these faithful, and trusting in the good will of their priests to recoup, with God's help, full communion in the Catholic Church ".

.

With this his disposal, the Holiness of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Pontiff Francis, He told us between the lines, on-line and over the lines that the schismatic heretics are given the option of lawfully administer the Sacraments, so that "we can recover, with God's help, full communion in the Catholic Church ". therefore know, venerable priest, we all, until a short time ago, wrong in a big way, we believed that lawfully administer the sacraments depended precisely the subsistent and full communion with the Catholic Church, not by the hope that one day, perhaps, this communion could be recovered. Therefore, from now, celebration and administration of the sacraments is to be considered no longer bound to communion with the Church, but only based on hope that one day, after having celebrated and administered the sacraments to your liking, It ends up recognizing, perhaps, the authority of the Church in matters of doctrine and faith, and in particular the authorities of a whole Ecumenical Council stubbornly rejected by those to whom, the Roman Pontiff, He has seen fit to grant his authority the lawful administration of the Sacraments.

.

I rejoice, Anyway, Esteemed Priests, Most beloved sons and daughters of the Church of Laodicea Combusta, you are all for many centuries dead souls of the blessed spirits, while i, sitting on a stone in front of the few ruins that remain of my Cathedral Church, I have addressed this Pastoral Letter, after seeing a pistachio plant burning but not consumed; after speaking with the Holy Spirit of God from whom I learned, against the other, his desire to see the Vatican City, which until now has had no opportunity to visit, but above all to be able to admire the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, in which he says never to be entered.

.

Bless your souls, beloved priests, Most beloved sons and daughters of the Church of Laodicea Combusta, ensuring the lasting memory in my requiem Masses for you.

Gal 2, 1-11]; it is of Their Eminences Rev.me Walter Brandmuller, Raymond Leo Burke, Carlo Caffara, Joachim Meisner [cf. WHO]. Already as the greek Prelate expressed, You understand that he has the rigid arrogance of an orthodox bishop of Georgia, and at the same time the ignorance of a pope who studied a little’ a stick of theology in feudal campaigns of Czarist Russia. In response, we encourage you to commiserate, but at the same time to reflect on what today we can pour into a serious and irreversible crisis, If a subject of this kind, not content with having them made bishops, It even entrusted the chairmanship of an entire Bishops' Conference. For if his argument fanta-doctrinal e fanta-ecclesial it were not tragic, would really worthy of a comic.

The event began in the Upper Room at Pentecost the Holy Spirit has never ended and since then fermented in an unbroken continuity process, pace of Giuseppe Dossetti and Giuseppe Alberigo and the so-called hermeneutic of discontinuity produced according to them by the Second Vatican.

How to explain such a radical devastation and such a long period of blindness and silence from those who would have the duty to keep the faith and to guide the flock?».

In recent decades the modernists They have earned a vast power in the Church, up to infiltrate the same Holy See. They pose as loyalists of the Roman Pontiff, but in fact they are exploiting it for their own purposes solvents and desecrating. With the power that they have achieved in the same central governing bodies of the Church, Today they manage to limit the papacy itself in its freedom of action and to prevent him to intervene to restrain them and defend the Church from their pitfalls.

The Roman Pontiff remains the possibility to exercise his teaching office. But their presence among the organizers of the Holy Father then prevents that his teachings are received and disseminated, and that he may take appropriate measures against those who deviate from sound doctrine [ Follow …]

No One, however, He wanted to address the crux of the matter, even asking excuse to LGBT people ' [see text WHO]. These hyper-ideologized, on the pretext of discrimination on sexual orientation, aim of fact, and devilish way, to take away the freedom of thought, of speech and expression to anyone not consider sodomy as a wonderful thing.

While in the past days four noisy Catholic lobbyists They raged on Dominican theologian with the same style in which American lobbyists raged on running for president of the United States of America, in one and in the other case the village It voted by showing not only their dissociation from lobby, but by showing that the thought of lobby Bankruptcy is a thought that only represents their unreasonable closing in themselves, but not the feeling of real people.

.

The various ecclesiastical that in the case of John Cavalcoli have launched the indignant criticism and fierce, however, in a climate of hyper-mercy to all that is not cattolico [cf. My previous article, WHO], only represent themselves, not the people of God, Instead it has approved and endorsed the Dominican theologian, in defending even by telematic magazines and blogs Catholics with whom both he and I had over and over again hard by questioning the theological and ecclesial level; first ahead of everyone in the defense of John Cavalcoli was the historian Roberto de Mattei.

The statement made by S.It is. Mons. Angelo Dirt, Substitute of the Secretariat of State of His Holiness, we first of all reveals how far away are the days when, in that same State Secretariat, They are moving the giants of faith and Catholic doctrine as Rafael Merry del Val, faithful servant of the Holy Pontiff Pius X, which by the way of the modernists and their pernicious heresies, He accused how these vipers were skillful "in speaking, writing and preaching a charity without faith, very tender for the unbelievers, which opens to all, unfortunately, the way to eternal ruin ". Today, the modernists, after their blow inside the church, censor and persecute the few Orthodox priests and theologians who survived.

"I have been misunderstood or perhaps I expressed myself badly. I was not referring to the law in the strict sense on "civil unions", but to some vices and sinful conduct and unruly as sodomy. God sends the punishment to the one who sins realizing what he does, knowing that deliberately goes against the law of God "

Dear Readers,

John Cavalcoli in chorus 2

John Cavalcoli in the choir of his monastery

The Island of Patmos He certainly could not just leave her in the storm founding father John Cavalcoli ON.

.

Father John was accused to argue that "the earthquake was a punishment for civil unions". This is false, because the Dominican theologian did not speak at all of "civil unions", but only of "sodomy", hinting at the famous Sodom punishment. It is entirely different things. Sodomy is a moral category of Scripture. "Civil Union" is a civil law, made for non-Catholics, which may also be in good faith. Now God punishes only those who sin to sin knowing.

.

You can read and spread the letter-report I addressed publicly to the Secretary of State of His Holiness, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to the Master General of the Order of Preachers, our Island of Patmos, site of the last revelation, where the Blessed Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation.

.

I thank the readers who sent hundreds of emails of solidarity and moral support to the Dominican theologian, we are trying to answer all these days.

the pontifical academic John Cavalcoli during a conference

By messages that have come, we realized how much the feeling of God's People, his feelings and instances, little or no interest to the clergy increasingly mondanizzati, who are interested however the feeling of our worst enemies ever, those who today pretend to be friends of the Church. And as soon as these clothes wolves from lambs utter only half a sigh, shoot a ecclesiastical race in the unseemly rush to their feet with ashes on his head.

.

Remember, People of God, you, for the “church” from the mercy without justice and for the “church” from the Love without truth, nothing accounts. Know though, beloved people to whom we have consecrated the Sacred Order of Priests life in the Church of Christ, that you will always be, sino alla Russia, that divine set of living members of the most holy Body of which Christ is the head [cf. With the 1,18].

.

And for a lifetime we will serve for Christ, with Christ and in Christ, at any price, for the salvation of believers of Christ and for the salvation of our souls of believers.

Dear Father Ariel.

My bishop sent me years ago at St. Anselm in Rome to the specialization. I do not even finished the first half, because after attending a series of lectures given by Prof.. Elmar Salmann and dal prof. Andrea Grillo, I told the bishop that I did not go, since in no quell'ateneo he was taught theology and Catholic sacramental. The bishop did not take it, He dismissed from the post of master of ceremonies, but he accepted my decision. By reading this article by Professor. Cricket [ed see WHO], I boast that my final decision. What do you think?

andrea-cricket

the St. Anselm Pontifical Athenaeum, a name, and a guarantee, today, of heresy …

Andrea Grillo She is an intellectually unpleasant man, as are practices of the people of haughty disposition. We have also recently seen, through the way in which he debated with the Vatican Rai Aldo Maria Valli, It is known to all - even to his colleagues offline with him - as a loving man with a delicate and elegant expressive style [link the debate, WHO].

.

I find it unpleasant Andrea Grillo not as a person, because as a person is not at all unpleasant, quite the opposite! I find it unpleasant on a purely theological level, as I find unpleasant all those theologasters last fifty years who do not speak of God and the mysteries of the Faith, but of political and clerical fenomenologie. Take as an example among many article reported by our reader Priest [cf. WHO], analyze it and then tell: where is that, How many times, the manner in which Andrea Grillo, speaking of his clerical-political phenomenology a sacrament as Holy Orders, He mentioned only in passing God, or the Word of God, the Son consubstantial with the Father that the Sacrament of the set for the perpetuation of the living and holy Memorial? Once he mentions - and inappropriately - so: "The" presence of Christ "come out of the historical opposition between" transubstantiation "and" consubstantiation ' ". And this amounts to read the concept of “presence of Christ” not a metaphysical dimension, but how political problem to solve, into effect the supreme dogma of that dialogue opened by destroying false ecumenism, what is protestantizzando the Church from within, thanks to Pony Trojan as Andrea Grillo. Therefore, so much more intellectually honest, You should do this academic sociologist or expert ecclesial phenomenology, or better still: ecclesiastical, But no theologian sacramentary liturgical, given that many of the sacraments and how many live there as we celebrate them for mystery of grace, They have relationship with them far, which it is a relationship of faith, a mystical relationship, not a relationship clerical, political and phenomenological.

.

Speaking only on the theological level, ever on the human, should be 'noted that this academic, doctrinally speaking, It is a kind of antithesis of the legendary King Midas that changed everything he touched into gold. At its opposite, Andrea Grillo, like a kind of Re Mirda, what theologically and doctrinally touches turns to shit, because clearly and fundamentally flawed in its thinking from the mother of all heresies: Modernism. And always avoid any misunderstanding I repeat: "Everything theologically and doctrinally touches", because only this is referred to the expression of mirdiano mutely gold of the truth of faith, in the shit of heresies. Indeed, then as it regards all other rest, this man is definitely the most worthy and exemplary citizen of the Italian Republic, the person most beautiful, the most faithful husband to holy matrimony, the most commendable father family model of this world and so to follow. In fact - I repeat - I do not contest the person, nor his undoubted human and moral qualities, what context is only his theological heterodoxy, to which I have applied the most appropriate word: "Shit". Because heresy remains and is that for every good Catholic: the worst crap out of Satan, Prince of corruption and forgery, the one who changes the true into false and false into true.

.

Andrea Grillo is worthy pupil of the Benedictine monaco German Elmar Salmann [cf. WHO], which is' the merit of having protestantized during three decades of its rule the St. Anselm Pontifical Athenaeum. Suffice it to recall just - and I remember him many more -, that when Elmar Salmann held between 2010 and the 2011 courses in preparation for the doctorate at this university, It used to dabble in defining Blessed Pius IX as "a mental case", citing in support of these ideas the Jesuit James Martin, which results have been a distinguished historian, however, not a psychiatric specialist in psychosomatic disorders papal personality. And quoting the four volumes published by the historian Jesuit opposed to the beatification of the Pope [cf. WHO e WHO] - that do not have the "truth of faith" but opinions of a scholar -, the good Benedictine stated how the clinical psychiatric case of Pius IX "has placed his medal on his chest inventing a new dogma », in a clear allusion to the dogma of papal infallibility.

.

Sneers Teutonic-romanofobi fully understood, considered to be the head and mouth in question, besides the fact that the modernist adoring students court of miracles salmanniana, advised - obviously critical level, is intende! - the reading of two works of the heretic Hans Küng, among which: Infallible? A question. After that, the sacred fire luteran-Teutonic Salmann Elmar proceeded forward and knocked down the Holy Pontiff Pius X, which - and I quote - "with his Feeding of Dominic's Sheep, He tried to hinder progress and scientific speculation, while the Protestant exegetes did wonders on philosophical research plan, theological and biblical ". It said this is worth remembering that between the beneficiary of such limited public pearls of wisdom salmanniana, was present as well as the listener renowned journalist Giuliano Ferrara, It is not that just be devoid of excellent memory.

.

This is man, or rather the tiny heretical who put in the chair at St. Anselm his Modernist court of miracles, Andrea Grillo included, with this logical consequence: within those walls, today can not even approach what theologically and doctrinally is Catholic. Suffice to say that the exchanges between the St. Anselm and Waldensian theological faculty range from the pseudo-ecumenical idolatry and real prostration Protestants, to the point that the evangelical pastor Paul Rich has long been a guest professor at the pontifical university.

.

This is to say that if a Catholic, for its sum misfortune, approached in such an environment poisoned and poisoning, radically corrupted because peppered with modernism and protestantismi, It would be burned at the stake by the members of heretical court of miracles settled inside by Elmar Salmann, sculettanti including many monks who threw languid glances at various students, because heresy - to paraphrase my Brother Polish Darius Oko [cf. WHO e WHO] ―, often becomes omoeresia, with all the nubifrossing universal that follows in the Church, And it came without much circumlocution I explain in my book 2011.

.

Very it would have to write modernist sull'eretico Andrea Grillo, that ingenuity of the great modernists of the caliber of Ernesto Buonaiuti, endowed with a considerable intellect, But unfortunately the contrary of science and used wisdom, It has nothing, because now we have become even mediocre heresy. And that Theologizing cricket is a modernist, is out of the question, not because I say, but because they feel his writings, its non-Catholic ideas on the Eucharist, the Sacrament of Orders, the Sacrament of Marriage, or more generally on dogmatic sacramental. Not to speak of ecumenism, the enhancement of inter-communion with Protestants, hypothesis on holy orders to women, the second Catholic marriage, to follow along with all the devastating corollary that has led to the collapse of the various Lutheran and Anglican aggregations. Because with their liberal ideologies replaced the old dogmas of the faith, their exasperated feminism, their “women priests”, their picturesque “bishop” married lesbians who adopt children with their spouse [cf. WHO], in facts, much-admired Theologian luterani, they only got the result to empty their churches, long it has been more empty than Catholic ones, where it happens to come to profess faith in the Church, "one holy catholic and apostolic Church" their many exiles, in particular Anglicans. For if the Theologizing cricket He was a Catholic theologian rather than a teologista ideological, should first remind himself that in Symbol of faith Nicene Creed, we do not profess faith in “multiplicity of churches”, we continue to profess: "I think the Church one, holy catholic and apostolic Church " [Εἰς μίαν, Ἁγίαν, Καθολικὴν καὶ Ἀποστολικὴν Ἐκκλησίαν]. Because the Word of God Incarnate, through Blessed Apostle John, It exhorts us to be perfect in one [cf. GV 17, 23], not in the multiplicity and fragmentation of “churches”. Therefore, the only ecumenism that we can conceive of a Catholic, It is the one that aims to bring the separated brothers in the unity of the Church "a, holy catholic and apostolic Church ", certainly not to confer on them the rank of heretical schism “reform” and their heresiarch Luther the rank of “reformer”.

.

Nonetheless, the Theologizing cricket It never fails to insist so open today, no longer subliminal, than it would in his opinion should be discussed on the admission of women to holy orders, while aware maliciously that this speech was closed forever with a pronouncement of St. John Paul II, that referring to what has been stated by very conciliar Blessed Paul VI - and not by “old Church” Saints Popes Pius X and Pius V -, reiterated that the Church "It does not consider herself authorized to admit women to priestly ordination" [see document, WHO]. Affirmation to which the Theologizing cricket retorts with low alloy defining it as sophistry: "A declaration of" no "authority" [see full article, WHO]. A quel point, the Theologizing Cricket, playing more on the legal and theologically, he claims: "Non irreformability of Priestly ordination that, in a longer perspective, ecclesial authorities could recognize tomorrow to have the authority to extend the ordination also the woman. For the text of the 1994 And definitively held, but not in an absolute way. Only until the Church deems to have that authority in 1994 It decided to exclude. Lacking the requirements of "infallibility", the document is only relatively irreformable ".

.

Unfortunately, this player at all skilled, playing for your dome with the fallibile and l’infallible, It takes no account of the Gospel and especially the life of the Incarnate Word of God, precisely that before which, The Popes, They affirmed that the Church "does not consider herself authorized to admit women to priestly ordination". Simple the reason why the Church does not recognize this authority, because those who live a dimension of faith christocentric rather than politicocentrica, knows well that Christ, with the women, He had no problems of any kind, as they had subjects them Jews, even more than the Mosaic Law, the chicanery rabbinical. Think about the kind of scandal often aroused by Christ who allowed women to approach and even touch; in a society faced with a law that does not even allow themselves to fathers, touching their daughters, but above conversely, not to mention the meticulous criteria of separation between men and women, the relative purity rituals and so on. These things which, the Christ, He could not care less. So why ever, instituting the priesthood and the Eucharist, He not chose as women priests? And what kind of women, They were close to Christ God! Starting from Mater Dei, born without the stain of original sin. Because instead he chose Judas who betrayed him, Peter who denied him three times, and others that, before the ill-parade, as recounted in the Gospel of the Passion: «Then all the disciples, forsook him, they fled»? [cf. Mt 26,56]? Why not choose that extraordinary figure of Mary Magdalene, who followed him to the cross and that came first in the morning to the tomb? Probably, the Word of God, did not choose women because it was not yet a Christian adult, there was not yet the “reform” big “reformer” Luther by which we can now witness the grotesque carnival of “bishop” lesbians who strut with miter and pastoral; there was not yet the interpreters of theologians after the Council advocates of their staff Council egomenico, but most had not been developed hermeneutics of rupture and discontinuity from the Bologna School of Dossetti & Alberigo. Now, however, that we had this and much more, we could go even further, compared to certain “limitations” the … poor Christ, on account of which the Church "does not consider herself authorized to admit women to priestly ordination". In conclusion, It would be enough to put himself above God, and act accordingly as best we deem appropriate. Is not this the essence of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

.

Andrea Grillo is a heretic because in his thinking and unorthodox ecumenical pseudo they recur every major errors indicated in the declaration Lord Jesus of the year 2000, while in his misconceptions of the sacred liturgy uses all that is indicated as an error by the education Sacramentum, place that he has lent to serious liturgical abuses in various parish churches in Liguria, where repeatedly he held sermons in the Gospel instead of the priest during the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, which it is precisely "sacrifice", through which the bread and wine transustanziano in the Body and Blood of Christ, really present in soul, body and divinity. The Eucharist is not a Lutheran transignification, nor a protestantica transfinalization, or a festive dinner at the Calvinist way in which the Eucharist is understood as a mere symbol drained of sacredness. Because for Theologizing Cricket any term is good, species protesting, except the end of living and holy sacrifice. Without it even going to touch the upper echelons of dogmatic sacramental, would be enough to simply remember what the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Holy Eucharist:

.

In SS. Sacrament of the Eucharist is contained truly, Really, substantially the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, with the soul and divinity, so, the Whole Christ. This presence is called “real” not by exclusion, the other types are not “royalty”, but par excellence, because it's substantial, and by which Christ, God and man, wholly and entirely present [cf. CCC, n. 1374]

.

But basically, who am I, to judge a celebrity as the Theologizing cricket, vacated for years to poison the minds with their heresies in a Pontifical University, directly under the windows of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith headed by Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments presided over by Cardinal Robert Sarah? For if they do not think these two Cardinals, dressed in red not for choreography, but what a symbol of loyalty and obedience to the faith until the shedding of their own blood, as such responsible to direct these two closely competent ministries for modernist heresy peddled by the papal chair of Theologizing Cricket, I think maybe I? Unfortunately I do not have power to depose from teaching certain characters clearly and proudly non-Catholics. Had he been in office in the place of certain prefects, I would have done for a long time, regardless of the wrath and attacks of the powerful consortium of modernists who for half a century in this part is the host within the Church.

.

That is to say how much I am mindful of being really small thing, before this reality now gone far beyond the same, "Imagination in power", because even the most vivid imagination would ever have imagined that one day, all that was condemned by Pope Pius X, about Modernism as a mother of all heresies, He would have lorded it in the church, to the point where they are heretics, to punish and expel the devotees to the doctrine and the sacred deposit of the Catholic faith, starting from the most renowned universities and pontifical universities, and especially the older ones, where not taught to future theologians have been as pernicious errors of the Protestant heresy, quite the opposite! It's called the heresiarch Luther "reformer", people are even saying that thanks to “reform” Protestant he could have, after almost five centuries, the Second Vatican Council, that "he allowed the applications of Luther ' (!?) What true only partially and as such to analyze and explain very carefully, place some instances born by not a few legitimate protests of Luther - as in the past I wrote -, not only were received as a result of Vatican II, but already before, the Council of Trent, in several of its disciplinary canons, He did own several of these instances its legitimate. Different is instead attributed to Luther certain reforms of Vatican II and, in case that's not enough, directly accommodate Protestants in our house as professors invited in ecclesiastical universities where they form our future theologians, most of them priests and religious, that once titrated into heresy through the seal of the Sante Roman academic papers, then go up on church pulpits to announce proudly as many heresies, with aura from superfine and mimicking intellectual pejorative their bad teachers.

.

therefore aware of my limitations, I leave you to answer the heterodoxies Theologizing cricket both the Pope St. Pius X, what about the Modernist court of miracles mail from the chief heretic Elmar Salmann in the Chairs of the St. Anselm Pontifical Anteneo, He says in clear words and unambiguous in what follows …

the Holy Pontiff Pius X, author of the solemn repudiation of heresy Modernist [See Sheep feeding Domici, WHO]

We welcome more alive glue complacency feelings of devotion and filial love toward Us and this Apostolic See, There you have meanings in the name of you and your beloved brothers for the honor of Purple to which you were called [1]. But if we accept your thanks, we must mean, that the preclear virtue, of which you are adorned, only opera di very, you have done, and the other signal services, that in several fields you have rendered to the Church, They made it even worthy to be numbered in the albo of Our Sacred Senate.

And it rejoices not only hope, but the certainty, which also covered the new dignity always consecrate, As in the past, ingenuity and strength to assist the Roman Pontiff in governing the Church.

If the Roman Pontiffs have always had also they need external assistance to fulfill their mission, this need is felt more keenly now for very serious conditions of the time in which we live and continuous assaults pei, which it is made a sign for the Church of his enemies.

And here do not believe it, Esteemed Fratelli, We want to allude that the facts, however painful, of France, because these are largely offset by more expensive consolations: the wonderful union of the Venerable Episcopate, generous disinterest of the clergy, and compassionate firmness of Catholics willing to make any sacrifice for the protection of the faith and for the glory of their homeland; It has fulfilled a’ Last time that persecution only serve to highlight and point to’ universal admiration of the virtues of the persecuted and at most are like the waves of the sea, that in frangendosi storm on the rocks, they purify them, if it was necessary, the mud that had sullied them.

And you know it, Esteemed Fratelli, that is why he did not fear the Church, When the edicts of Caesar summoned to the early Christians: or abandon the worship of Jesus Christ or die; because the blood of the martyrs was the seed of new converts to the faith. Ma stormy war, that makes repeat: Here, in my bitterness, is that which arises from the aberration of the minds, for which they fail to recognize its doctrines and is repeated in the world of the uprising cry, that the rebels were ousted from heaven. And unfortunately are those rebels, they profess and spread in subtle forms monstrous errors on the evolution of dogma, the return to pure Gospel, namely leafless, with’ they say, from the explanations of theology, from the definitions of the councils, by the highest asceticism, - emancipation from the Church, But in a new way without rebelling not to be cut off, but even submit not to miss with their own convictions, and finally on’ adaptation to the times around, in speech, writing and preaching a charity without faith, very tender pei unbelievers, which opens to all, unfortunately, the way to eternal ruin.

I ben stars, Oh venerable Fratelli, is November, that we must defend with all our might the store that I was entrusted, we have no reason to be in distress in the face of this attack, which is not a heresy, but the compendium and the poison of all heresies, which tends to undermine the foundations of faith and annihilate Christianity.

Yup, wipe out Christianity, because the Holy Scripture to these modern heretics is no longer the sure source of all the truths that belong to the faith, but a common book; the inspiration for them narrows the dogmatic doctrines, However, arrangements in their own way, and nearly differs from’ poetic inspiration of Aeschylus and Homer. Legitimate interpreter of the Bible is the Church, However, subject to the rules of the so-called critical science, that is imposed to Theology and enslaves. For the tradition finally everything is relative and subject to mutations, and then reduced to naught the authority of the Holy Fathers. And all these and a thousand other errors propalano them into booklets, in magazines, ascetic in books and even in novels and involgono them in certain ambiguous terms, in certain forms nebulae, so you always have opened an escape to the defense in order to avoid a’ open condemnation and though taking the unwary to their laces.

We therefore rely too much on the work your, Esteemed Fratelli, because if you know with your suffragan bishops in your regions of these sowers of discord, We will join in the fight, There we inform of the danger in which souls are exposed, reported their books to the Holy Roman Congregations and meanwhile, using the powers that are granted by the sacred canons, solemnly condemn them, persuaded highest obligation that you have hired to help the Pope in governing the Church, to fight the’ error and to defend the truth until’ effusion of blood.

Moreover, we trust in the Lord, beloved children, that will give us the appropriate time the aid necessarii; and the Apostolic Blessing, you have invoked, learn how great its vol, the clergy and the people of your Dioceses, above all the venerable Bishops and the elect children, who decorated with their presence this solemn ceremony, on your and their relatives; and is a source for all and for each of the elected thanks more and more gentle consolations.

DOMINICAN THAT THAT ENHANCES SCHILLEBEECKX

.

One of the serious shortcomings of Edward Schillebeeckx is that he confuses the concept and language. The languages ​​vary, change and must change; they must be updated and adapted to the environment; but certain realities of reason or faith, that they express, they are universal and immutable, I'm, in the words of Benedict XVI, "non-negotiable" values, inalienable. So let's go cautious before defining Schillebeeckx a "great theologian".

.

.

Author John Cavalcoli OP

Author
Giovanni Cavalcoli, ON

.

.

Dear Father Giovanni ,

I follow always on the island of Patmos, and I remember to have read his critical judgments on the Dutch Dominican theologian Schillebeeckx, she accused of modernism, gnoseologia, etc.. Days ago, I came across a presentation made on the official website of the Dominican Order [Ed. WHO], where this theologian from her often criticized is presented in the list of “large Dominican figures”. I am a bit’ confused, I could ask for an explanation?

Francesca Pope

Edward Schillebeeckx

in the picture: Edward Schillebeeckx – Feature of the clergy and religious modernists, It is that they remain in the annals their official photos of themselves penalty in suits, holding a mug of beer (Kark Rahner) or with a cigarette (Edward Schillebeeckx), but none of them became immortalized with their ecclesiastical or religious habit, least of all with the breviary and the rosary in his hand …

On the site of the Dominican Province of St. Thomas Aquinas Order of Friars Preachers appeared the presentation of the figure and work of the Dominican Edward Schillebeeckx for the pen of Father Gerardo Cioffari, ON [See WHO].

.

The author makes great praise, many of which are undeserved, for me since 1984 [1], along with other critics and in consonance with the complaints, Edward Schillebeeckx in his time received by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, I have reported on many occasions and in some publications [2], its serious errors, which find their root in its gnoseology historicist and relativistic and that put his theology in contrast with the doctrine of faith.

.

The fact that Schillebeeckx was one of the architects of Dutch Catechism, I put so stressed by Gerardo Cioffari, It does no credit to Schillebeeckx, since the Catechism It contained errors against the faith and so serious gaps, that Blessed Pope Paul VI was forced to do it corrected and completed by a specially appointed commission of cardinals. The Dutch Catechism without the corrections made by Roma, is the flag of the neo-pro-Protestant modernism and falsely pretends to interpretation of Vatican Council II.

.

The fundamental defect of the epistemology of Schillebeeckx It is a radical distrust of reason, replaced by a "faith" experiential and athematic, very reminiscent of the setting of Luther. In fact, he believes that the concept does not capture reality, therefore it can not be an objective and faithful representation of the real, but it is the expression or interpretation relating to the subject of a previous "athematic experience" of reality, Thus the idea is limited to indicating the object, without identifying with it intentionally, but it is only in conventional form, linguistic or symbolic, as well as, for instance, a road sign indicates the direction to follow to reach the goal, but it is still the place to be attained.

.

Note that the ' "athematic experience" is not the experience of the senses, but it is a priori intellectual intuition of the concrete mixed with real meaning, Schillebeeckx that deduced from Husserl's phenomenology. The knowledge, so, per Schillebeeckx, does not start with sensible experience, as Aristotle and St. Thomas, but with this experience or intuition a priori, bringing to mind the Cartesian and Kantian apriorism.

.

Sense experience, per Schillebeeckx, It does not take place before the conceptualization, as in Thomism, but against the backdrop of the experience athematic, that does not exist in St. Thomas, and which for Schillebeeckx is the starting point of knowledge. He admits that the concept is linked to the experience of meaning, but it is formed only after the experience athematic, as an interpretation and expression "inadequate" (in the sense that we will see) of this experience. All this is accompanied by a marked antipathy to intellectual abstraction, occamistica of origin, which makes it incapable Schillebeeckx, in the name of un'indiscreta concreteness and historicity, to grasp and appreciate the value and realistic objective universal essence of abstraction from the concrete particular, and then the supratemporal being independent and unchangeable by the temporal and mutable.

.

According to the old prejudice Occamistic, the abstract is inevitable, but it takes away or impoverishes the content of knowledge, which would be achieved only by experience athematic, and adds a subjective element, that would be the "interpretation", if it is to grasp the object; or conceptual expression in the language, when it comes to communicating it to others.

.

Per Schillebeeckx, we, by means of the concept we can not objectively know reality, but only "interpret" according to the changing and diverse categories, including the dogmas. The athematic experience miss its true, but it is in itself, as athematic, incommunicable in concept and language. It is easy to say that everything is obviously detrimental to the understanding of the dogmas of the faith, whose content is notoriously immutable and eternal, being infallible interpretation of God's Word. Because of this, wonder supremely, not to say that scandalizes, that Schillebeeckx was right in dogmatic theology professor. The rest, similar cases in the history of thought are not new. Suffice to say that Kant was a professor of metaphysics. It seems that the encyclical Schillebeeckx Feeding of Dominic's Sheep St. Pius X has come to nothing.

.

To understand the theory of Schillebeckx on the concept, comprehensor but no "indicator", We can give an example. If I see the street sign "Bologna", I know the direction that I have to keep to Bologna, but I can not tell you even be in Bologna. But this separation from reality is worsening in vision Schillbeecckxiana, for which the concept points to the reality, ma does not ever reach.

.

This explains the statement Schillebeeckx cited by Gerardo Cioffari: "The conceptual expression is but the imperfect, inadequate and abstract explication cognitive act constituted by an implicit intuition. It always depends on a certain earthly experience, from a given historical moment and a particular culture ".

.

This "implicit intuition" pre-conceptual experience is original, Global and ineffable reality, which is then "interpreted" or expressed in concepts that tend to it, but not the reach.

.

Reality, per Schillebeeckx, It is an objective and; It gives the truth, but the conceptual approaches are many and contingent, as are many road signs, Bologna pointing in different directions. In one reality, so, It did not give a single concept, but many in time and space. Hence the mutability and relativity of dogmatic concepts.

.

For instance, one is the mystery of Christ. But it is one thing the New Testament Christology, an account that Chalcedon, an account that medieval, an account that modern. Compare with each other ever, contradict each other. Instead, they are true, if you refer each to its own time. Truth daughter time. The ontological concept of person was fine for the time of Chalcedon. Today we have to use what existentialist. The flag moves depending on the wind.

.

We also observe that "inadequate expression" It is not only synonymous with "imperfect" - imperfection is natural to the human concept, especially in theology, in the sense that the concept does not totally includes the thing -, but it means missing that ' the conformity of intellect and thing, conditioning and constitutes the truth of knowing. It lacks precisely because the concept does not reach the reality, It does not own, not assimilated, not internalized, but it stays out, impenetrable, unknowable and alien, It just turns around, as in Kant's epistemology.

.

In this way, the subject - "a certain earthly experience, a given historical moment, a particular culture "- enters, by l ' "interpretation", to constitute the object, so the truth is no longer a simple equating the object, but it is relevant to the subject. You epistemological relativism. I can not know the thing how, ma as it is for me. The object is not in itself, but it's relevant to me. There is no more pure objectivity, but the subject contributes to constitute or to form the object, come in Kant.

.

Look Gerardo Cioffari: "But this is not an assertion of agnosticism, as the inadequacy of the concept it does not mean that does not correspond to anything real, but that does not adequately captures the real, but shows, it provides the direction and sense. That is especially true for the speech about God, of which we know, to say S. Tommaso, what is not, and not what is. As a result the revelation remains an unfathomable mystery, and the dogmatic definitions have the function to orient toward the mystery of salvation ".

.

To avoid agnosticism not enough that the concept corresponds to "something real", then if the concept does not reach it and do not know what that something. Even for Kant the thing itself exists, but the trouble is that it is unknowable. What is needed is that the mind knows what is the essence of the thing. Without this act of the mind, lacking the same knowledge, because to know is to know precisely, of one thing, what is it, it means knowing the essence. Knowledge is knowledge say something.

.

With regards to the knowledge of God, We have to remember the distinction made by Gaetano between know its essence, know the essence in any way and the learn essential, knowing manner of wood or essence force.

.

When St. Thomas says that God rationally we know only that which is not, rather than what is, It refers to know quidditativamente, that is, to know God in His essence or in its own essence. It 'impossible to define the essence of God, or form a concept of God by gender and difference, because God is pure Being, above all genera and species. We know God quidditativamente only in faith and especially in the beatific vision. But that does not mean it's completely impossible to form any concept of God or define its essence - know its essence - any one way, however imperfect and analog. It is used, as it suggests the same Holy Scripture [Is 3,14], the entity category, which it is in excess of all kinds, and therefore better than any other lends itself to form a concept of God, as it does St. Thomas with his famous notion of 'a subsistent is the very being of God by itself,.

.

The concept, as already he knew Hegel, It is nothing but the thing "in the element of thought"; the thing as thought, the thing in soul, as Saint Thomas said. This does not mean we should not distinguish thinking from being, or thing from the concept of the thing. To confuse these two terms, while claiming to know the subject exhaustively, as Hegel did, Idealism would Gnostic, repeatedly condemned by Pope Francis [3].

.

Gerardo Cioffari then quotes other words of Schillebeeckx: "Theologically, it seems to me untenable and even impossible to want to fix once and for all the theological concepts by resorting to an ecclesiastical regulation of language. Because every assertion, also dogmatic, It means something only within a specific context. If it brought in another context, the significance of what had been alleged is inevitably shifted ".

.

Another major flaw of Schillebeeckx It is that he confuses the concept and language. The languages ​​vary, change and must change; must be updated and adapted to the environment; but certain realities of reason or faith, that they express, they are universal and immutable, I'm, in the words of Benedict XVI, "non-negotiable" values, inalienable.

.

It is true that the same thing can be expressed in different ways. But do not use the pretext of changing the expression or speech, things that can be useful or necessary, to change it. If you change the meaning or concept of a thing, it can not be the same. And if a value is immutable, It is unfair and misleading to present it as mutable. It must remain the concept of what remains and change the concept of what changes. The knowledge, Certain, must progress; but if the object known is immutable, It is not about to change his concept, but to improve.

.

The language course is not just a verbal terms or linguistic signs. It is too evident that these vary and change. But there are also ways of expression of conceptual, such as the metaphorical concepts, pictures, and symbols, The myths, comparisons, different from culture to culture, from time to time in the same culture. It is clear that these expressive elements change and must change, remaining the same the object's meaning.

.

That being the case, we must say that the Magisterium of the Church fixed once and for all the theological concepts, above all dogmatic, not primarily resorting "to an ecclesiastical adjustment of language", but deepening the meaning of God's Word. The Magisterium is not the search for '. It fixed forever these concepts, especially in solemn dogmatic definitions, simply because the realities and truths that are the subject of these definitions are eternal and divine.

.

Sthe interpretation is infallible, under the assistance of the Holy Spirit, of the Word of God, that "no go" (Mt 24,35) and that is "firm in heaven" [Shall 119,89]. Whether the Magisterium also takes the properties of language, this is true; but always and only in order to explain to the faithful the true meaning of the dogma and therefore the Word of God which interprets the dogma.

.

It is therefore not true that "every assertion, also dogmatic, It means something only within a specific context ". On the contrary, it means something, that is the truth of faith, within any context, although it must be mediated by a certain context, because the truth of faith is a universal and immutable truth. The meaning of the truths of faith, whatever the context in which it is expressed, It's always the same, because it is above the horizon time and belongs eternal and divine, It is not tied to any particular historical context and applies to all. The word of God remains forever.

.

Unlike speech applies to the language, by which the Church expresses dogmatic truth. His language is and can actually be tied to changing historical and linguistic contexts systems. The dogmatic formula, But, It can vary in its linguistic and semantic aspect, but never in the concept of faith that it expresses.

.

Other Schillebeeckx statements reported by Gerardo Cioffari: "The Magisterium sets each time in the changing temporal circumstances which language is valuable in the Church; in other words it regulates the use of the ecclesiastical language and establishes: Who does not speak, and so the faith, exhibits, at least in this cultural situation with its specific preconditions, if not himself, certainly the other faithful, the danger of altering the intended meaning of the Gospel message about the saving reality '.

.

The task of the Church It is not primarily establish of words or verbal formulas, but the concepts, clarify concepts, the concepts of faith, albeit expressed in words suitable and understandable. Certainly the Church's concern to express the Gospel message in the most suitable, so as to be understood by men of his time. But what is most dear is to let us know what Christ taught us for our salvation. And to understand these things, We need a gnoseology who admits that the intellect grasps the real through the concept, otherwise the knowledge vanishes and we lose the great dignity that God has given us to have been created in his image and likeness. So let's go cautious before defining Schillebeeckx a "great theologian".

Note

The editorial staff had titled this article published the address book of the Readers 3 November at 21: «Small heretics grow: by Grillo teologante Sant'Anaselmo of the Dominican prankster who exalts Schillebeeckx». Names and photographs are the result of editorial work and not of the Authors, I proceeded to change the title given to two different comulativamente published writings together. Indeed, the “accusation” of heresy and modernism that I have seen fit to put to the positions of sacramentary liturgical theologian Andrea Grillo, as part of what are ordinary theological disputes, They can not extend to the Dominican Gerardo Cioffari ON, with regard to the writing of it that is different subject. So I proceeded to titrate: «From Grillo teologante Sant'Anaselmo of the Dominican exalting Schillebeeckx»

THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS AND THE REFEREE SUPER PARTS. THE POPE AS ADVOCATE OF UNITS AND CONCORDIA IN THE CHURCH

.

Not that the Pope in ecumenical meetings should pose as a teacher among schoolchildren or should proclaim the 'one Holy di Bonifacio VIII. But even so, as now it behaves, It seems overly considerate and almost intimidated. Sometimes it seems to exaggerate in d 'affection, as if it had to deal with his dearest friends. After all, They are "separated brethren". I believe that to maintain a certain dignified distance, no coldness or haughtiness, It would be a tacit reminder of the sublime and incomparable dignity of his charisma Servant of the servants of God.

[…] it is not forbidden to have a Pope his ideas or personal opinions, more or less questionable. It is not certain forbidden to follow a given current of opinion. It is too obvious that the Holy Father Francis prefers progressivism, with the pastoral decisions or Government, that what may result. For they must, beyond his own ideas, remember of his delicate position of the Supreme Pontiff super parts, father of all Catholics, Doing so may overreach one hand and then not to injure another Justice.

In his frequent interventions in arm and impromptu speeches or in his jokes - think of the interviews on the plane - it is not always clear whether he expresses his personal opinions or impressions, subjective, or he speaks just as teacher of the faith and morals, that is, as Pope.

.

Because of this, it would seem appropriate and useful for the Church that the Pope confined his talks. This would reduce the risk that the papal teaching is downgraded, misunderstood and devalued. The Pope does not require the amount so, but rather the quality and authority of its interventions, they may face questions, themes and subjects of high importance, where only one can and must have an answer or a theoretical or practical orientation from him [Follow …]

Jesus tells us: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming when all who are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth: those who have done good to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation " [cf. GV 5, 28-29]. And yet Jesus said in a previous track: "The dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have listened live» [cf. GV 5, 25]. To follow with the Apocalypse in which it is written: "Those who" heed ", or obey, the instructions they receive after they are resurrected will have their names written in “scroll of life”» [AP 20, 12-13].

The sleep of death It makes a man impotent entity, silent before the inexorable occurrence scientific and rationalistic, but fortunately comforting to human memory and expanded into both poems, the epigraph, is the artistic representation rescues the perpetuation of individual identity of each of us. As well as the Evangelist John tells us, with the words of Christ, the deceased, It must be recognized as such, with their culture, their experience, with a mission, by "the funeral celebration or in memory" or the memory ensured epitaph; to then be finally, the death, defeated by the Risen Christ through the recognition of eternal life, through the resurrection of the body that makes us share in the resurrection of Christ.

The Evangelist John's warning is clear: the experience of man can not be forgotten for the multitude of writings, artifacts, works more vast and various intellectual and craft that we are accustomed to appreciate or not through books, newspapers, real cities and their, reveal that in addition to the mind, the presence of a soul and now the same media, inventions and technological equipment will make it almost perfect the same earthly existence. But we're so overly focused on living this life that we sometimes forget even be fatal. So one wonders how much more is the attention, the interest, care to their deceased are recognized as men of extraordinary ability or not, inclination, even after having lived this mortal life.

.

Yet a distant time the man took care to confer "proper burial" to the dead, especially in Greek society witnessed by the Homeric poems in which the agonizing tension of a failure burial vitiated the soul's fate, he could reach his final home in the afterlife only when the body had received the honors and the rites of burial. Therefore their care for the custody of the corpse were equal to those of the soul and functional well-being of the latter to ensure the memory even through the centuries.

Since the origins of man's appearance on earth, styles and burial arrangements have contributed to the continuity of the "memory" funeral crossing the boundaries of time, and the cemetery (from greek κοιμητήριον resting place) as a place of eternal rest, involved and interested in different aspects of human life, from anthropology, the history of art to politics, to society, fashionable even, to find comfort and motivation to this eschatological sense in all of us. the burial, indeed, since ancient times has been expressed in many different ways through various forms and ways: from cremation to burial, taking shape structurally by sarcophagi, artificial cave tombs, tumulus, a cyst, ad enchytrismos, symbolically linked to the various pagan religious beliefs and reaching in the Christian era by interment sprinkling of oils on the body that was covered by the shroud (linen sheet).

The only watershed that has always distinguished the modus sepolturae even among Christians concerns the construction of tombs, which have been more or less decorated depending on the economic possibilities of the families, or rather sometimes stained the glorious events or distinctive in life characterized the deceased, within the framework of different historical periods. It is not yet negligible, mention the Byzantine period between the fourth and sixth centuries, when he proceeded to bury prominent figures, high prelates, or lords of the city within the churches, asking the intercession of the martyrs buried there, through so-called burials the saints, such a distinctive feature of the society of which even became a fad. Only during the Napoleonic era, with the famous Edict of Saint Cloud 1804, then also extended to Italy, They forbade buildings cemetery inside the town, imposing their placement Extra moenia with tombstones all equal placed along the same wall.

Veritable necropolis, cast of the living city will extend outside the towns, characterized by gardens, almost immense lush greenery of parks and tombstones planted therein by way of "stems" are, but not floral, but funeral. The cemetery is considered as an open air museum, witness to history, of a people, symbol of religious and social representation. Legacy of the latter is the contemporary cemetery no longer understood as a time, simply resting place but now more than ever the grave fulfills the functionality of a home for the deceased, abbellendone death, and proceeding to a schedule of necrophiliac landscape of family chapels that take the form of real houses, where not only there is space dedicatory to the memory of the late, but there shall be a celebration emphasized the economic and social role of the man who has disappeared.

In contemporary society, death is increasingly demonized, exorcised by building real "dormitory" districts through the creation of "columbarium" all equal to each other, the huge apartment blocks with lifts, the mechanism of which seems to disturb the sleep of the dead, where they capture the most devastating aspects of an inhuman and sad loneliness, Reflux of a corporate mechanism now more devoted to the series, which the substance or the voice of the heart.

.

"In the shadow of 'cypress e inside the urns comforted crying is perhaps the sleep of death less hard?», Ugo Foscolo poem recited in the "Tomb", and still Kafka, in his Diary, complained: death is considered "cruel side of evil is an apparent end that produces a real pain». But today, what remains of these two precious "movements of the soul"? If it has even come to freeze the mortal remains through a complex process of cryo-melting to give life through the generative cycle mechanism to a vegetable, or even an unusual funeral home is able to produce "Memory diamonds" [CF. WHO] where human ashes are transformed into precious stones, to set and carry around for the human ambitions.

Here art there is very little, but still less than the spirit, because it is no longer contact the artist who realizes the marble or wooden tomb concentrating all his energies in the ornate design of punching or low reliefs from the deep meaning iconological, symbolic and spiritual, then store it in the mausoleum or the most elegant funerary chapel of the necropolis. Death is certainly always the same, but the man tries to exorcise it in a very different way, not giving it more the meaning of the memory of the man who was, as well as for centuries it has been used to remember, but his who will, ie a piece of mineral or a vegetable, depriving now even the next of the eschatological meaning of death itself, linked to a hope that is a certainty of faith: "I believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come", as we say in our Profession of Faith.
