ANCIENT JEWISH LIE OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. A REFLECTION AGAINST FAKE JEWISH-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE OF ANDREA RICCARDI AND SANT'EGIDIO COMMUNITY

.

Who does not believe in the resurrection of Christ, consistently considers Christians children of a lie. But the important thing is to talk ... talk ... Yes, that is fine: but talk about what? Because if these are the premises, would be more consistent that certain dialogues, instead of being called interfaith dialogue, were called interpolitici dialogues, intended only to make the joy of capocomici of syncretism and religious relativism.

Narrated that the chief priests bribed the guards placed in custody of the tomb with "a good sum of money" so referred it false [cf. Mt 28, 12-14], The Evangelista Matteo concludes the story with a sentence about why you can not fly: "So this story has been reported among the Jews until this day" [Mt 28, 15].

.

Riguardo Christ's death it should be stressed the Romans have carried a sentence willed Jewish religious authority. A historical fact that no one can rewrite to avoid irritating a posteriori the susceptibility of the modern Sanhedrin, or not to disturb certain insane interfaith dialogue the Sant'Egidio - that have nothing in common with the healthy inter-religious dialogue of the document Our life? —, and that some would not hesitate to sacrifice the very foundations of our faith and the historicity of Santi Vangeli, just to talk at all costs and whatever the cost.

.

The question is therefore simple: the Body of Christ, It was stolen by his followers, who then they are given birth to a lie, or, Christ is truly risen, and others have lied ?

.

of Christ's tomb

we can do all we want interreligious dialogue, but one thing remains certain: or they lied to the Disciples of Christ, or they lied to the Jews, because thesis and antithesis can not have both reason

Andrea Riccardi and the Community of Sant’Egidio They can communicate what and with whom they want, ma, two thousand years later, It remains standing the following question: between the two different parts, one said the real, the other has lied and spread false. Only one party has told the truth, while the other has adulterated the facts, lied and spread false. For he that says a fact and anyone who denies firmly that fact, can not both be right, It is a foundation of logic and common sense. Therefore, which of them lied: Disciples of Christ, or the heads of the Sanhedrin?

.

Hyear lied those who announced the resurrection, or the Jews in stating that overnight, the human body of the Word of God made man, It was stolen from the tomb? Because that is what you truly dialogue. If not, instead take a coffee smooth kosher with the bosses of the modern Sanhedrin to great carnival syncretism and religious relativism of Assisi, organized by Andrea Riccardi and the Community of Sant'Egidio, It can not serve nor ever going to do anything, let alone the truth that will set us free [cf. GV 8, 32]. A truth that we are called to care for and announce, not to dilute, not to haggle, especially with those who consider us children of a colossal lie [following video …]

Melloni and Francesco

the Pope Francis I and the head of the School of Bologna Alberto Melloni [© The Osservatore Romano]

In the rubric defend the Pope from false friends, we offer this time to the readers Feedback.Article the historian Alberto Melloni, that some years was planning to propose to the Pope an equal share of the leadership of the Church with the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople, while recently he extolled Pope Francis for making peace, after a thousand years, with the Orthodox Patriarchate of that city, ending the doctrinal controversy.

.

We refer article titled "The Mass is ended. So after five centuries it sets the figure of the priest " [cf. WHO], appeared on The Republic on Wednesday 22 last March in signing Alberto Melloni, which strives for a quick picture of the priest figure promoted by the Council of Trent, hinting at certain psychological aspects, behavioral, cultural and pastoral - the so-called "clericalism" -, They actually have characterized some priestly style spread until Vatican II, and to which the Council and the post-conciliar Magisterium have remedied. Although he completely neglects to mention the merits dogmatic and anti-heretical Council of Trent, for example the priest as a guide of souls, man of the sacred and doctrinal firmness; and at the same time analyzing certain pastoral limits of the reform of Vatican II, for example, the secularizing trend, gooder and peace activist, all elements further aggravated by the resurgence of modernism, which Alberto Melloni, leader of the School of Bologna, It is one of the best known leaders in the field of church history.

.

The most serious shortcoming of this short article is biased misconception evil with which Alberto Melloni plays unfairly between the refusal of the Tridentine model of the priest - something about which you might even agree, not for nothing that the Vatican has proposed a reform, although partially questionable -, and the rejection of the priest as such, or the Sacrament of Orders, on Luther's footsteps, as it is clear from the title of the article.

.

Let us now review the pearls of this beautiful melloniana necklace. For every assertion of Alberto Melloni will now follow my answer.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni Muted is a great cycle is exhausted: that of the priest. That formidable sixteenth invention that has shaped the culture and politics, psychology and inner life, art and theology of the West and its former colonies was not extinguished (are approximately 420.000 the priests in the world), But for over a century it is in crisis: in Italy we passed by 15 thousand to approximately ninety 2.700 seminarians.

.

Answer from such purpose that the author begins with the recall the Tridentine reform. The priest, according to its interpretation of the Tridentine, He not established Jesus Christ, but it is an invention of the papacy, it is the fourth century, how they think Schillebeeckx and Rahner or the Middle Ages, as Luther believes, or with the Council of Trent, how do you think Melloni, does not matter. The fact is that, according to them, Here Christ has nothing to do, but the thirst for power of the papacy.

.

The growth of priestly vocations is not in crisis because the Church is still harks back to the Tridentine dogmatic about the Sacrament of Orders and directives of Vatican II; the crisis of vocations depends on whether the modernists have put about a false idea of ​​the priesthood, which it is a rejection of the Tridentine dogmatic and false interpretation of Vatican II directives. The major responsible for this massive fraud is Karl Rahner[1], while Alberto Melloni is one of the corporals of this army of modernists.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni Counts in this historical phase the reverb on the clergy of the fall of the intellectual qualities of the ruling classes to which they belong and those who choose the priesthood that he who gives it to him.

.

I repeat in this regard that this is a false history. Whatever seminarian who studies the history of the Church - not by Melloni, but with a normal historical -, knows that the Tridentine reform of the studies and the training of clergy, to which we have precisely the birth of Seminars, powerfully he revived the emaciated scholastic theology, marred by neo-paganism humanistic Renaissance, and dall'occamismo which is at the origin of Luther's theology, and he resurrected a new fruitful season of scholastic theology, and then of priestly formation, especially at the hands of the Dominicans and the Jesuits, which, as is known, the late sixteenth century, until the dawn of the following, They challenged in a noble contest, that fielded the best samples of the two parts.

.

Famous remained the Dominican Domingo Bañez against the Jesuit Luigi Molina, initiator of the dispute, in an attempt to clarify the relationship between the action of grace and the free will, a very serious, subtle and fascinating question raised by the Lutheran problematic.

.

The noble tournament was well 164 sessions, in which the great theologians disputed passionately or turn to the presence of the Pope. The Dominicans emphasized the power of grace, using the metaphysical category of causality, the so-called "physical premozione"; the Jesuits, instead, They emphasized the power of the human will, using the biblical category of "covenant". There is no doubt that this dispute, although between ducts, He did not fail to powerfully revitalize the intellectual culture of the bishops and priests, making them experts in the mystical world of grace and freedom, and therefore more capable of guiding souls on the way of salvation and holiness.

.

Moreover, everyone knows how the Tridentine Reform began a training of clergy animated by a strong missionary spirit. The recent discovery of new continents made conscious European Christianity do not run out, as he believed the Middle Ages, the whole inhabited world. So the Church began to expand rapidly in the immense new lands and continued the evangelization of Asia and Africa.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni But the question is wedged deeper into history. This “Trent prête” It seems to cross the turning point of modernity without damage: indeed the birth of new orders and nineteenth priests companies, and zeal in making large seminars as factories, appear to ensure that its function remains intact within the same institutional and theological shell. But it's not true: the church which is perched in defense of their own fence makes an official whose inner profile wear in social control.

.

Answer from such purpose that the birth of many religious institutes and clerical nineteenth testimony of a Church attentive to the signs of the times and the great social needs: the poorest, the suffering and the marginalized, education of children and young people, to their preparation for work, the good of families, the dignity of women, the Catholic culture, the political commitment of the laity, missions.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni The poll of consciousness of a humanity which has no experience weakens compassion.

.

Answer from such purpose that human experience of the priest does not need to apply their own horizon of the secular - economy, finance, militia, policy, family, technology, industry and commerce -, because it focuses on human values ​​that are at the root and the purpose of existence, more relevant to the meaning of life and history, to the problem of suffering, of sin and salvation, the need for truth, of justice, of peace, of freedom and happiness, to moral values, Religious and Spiritual, the relationship with God.

.

In the Sacrament of Penance, the confessor, who knows the dignity and the fragility of consciousness, familiar with the resources and the weaknesses of man, and knows that he too a forgiven sinner, enters so gently and respectfully in the conscience of the penitent and judges it, competently, prudence and charity, like a surgeon who operates on the heart, but only because the same penitent, in faith knowing the invaluable help he can give the priest in the life of grace, he needs it, She wishes him and asks him, and then opens it to him, to be evaluated, analyzed, included, healed, pardoned, purified, illuminated, guided, set free, comforted, consulate, encouraged, pacified.

.

lay, man or woman, the priest who tries, It does not expect to find him or find a similar worldly experience, secular or lay, which may have far too much, but what he wants is the man of God, the man of truth and love, which it has the analogical knowledge and wisdom of God, He knows how to talk to him about, unable to raise his spirit and brought to holiness (anagogia), He knows how to introduce it in his mystery (mystagogia), and let them experience in prayer, in worship and liturgy, in ecclesial communion with the Supreme Pontiff.

.

The believer knows well, as saith the prophet Malachi, that "the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and from his mouth trying Education, for he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty " (Ml 2,7). The faithful know that the priest is "appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices" (EB 8,3). At Mass, he, in the person of Christ, It is offering to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, the redemptive sacrifice of Christ and atoning for the remission of sins. He is the "pope" who, in Christ and through Christ, "Builds a bridge between God and man".

.

It is man who, like Christ, deep knowledge of the man (GV 2,25; Mt 9,4), problems, the values ​​and universal human feelings, of the doubt, of certainty, of passion, of love, dell'odio, of joy, of pain, of pleasure, anguish, of fear, of hope, of repentance, of forgiveness. It is man who, in the relationship with his neighbor, It aims first of all to the salvation of souls, according to the saying of St. Giovanni Bosco: «Give me the people;, The rest take» [dami the anime, and take everything else], which, evidently, in no way precludes the priest takes action, according to his powers and skills, Also for the physical well-being of men, especially the poor and suffering. It remains, however, that for the good shepherd always applies the law of St. Gregorio Magno: "Salus animarum suprema lex esto" [the health of souls is the supreme law].

.

The priest must be a doctor culture, without the need to become an anthropologist, a sociologist or a psychologist. They, without being a politician or a social worker, But everyone knows stimulate human solidarity, without bias or partisanship, obedient to the authorities, especially with the Pope, but without flattery, careerism or flattery, and without being servant of rulers. The priest opens the hearts of the faithful to all human values ​​and needs of brotherly love with the heart of Christ, communicates to him, in the sacraments, God's forgiveness and the life of grace. Sa show the treasures of human dignity, to make them participate and at the same time the man's miseries, to heal them in mercy and justice. According to biblical Revelation, Tradition and the Church's doctrine, It introduced him of future realities and makes informed of the origin and end of the story.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni Its ancient science compared to transmission of knowledge ever more sophisticated, makes an under-educated.

.

Answer from such purpose that the priest knows that culture, truly valuable, essential and most important is not the technological or scientific, but the moral, religious and spiritual. Because of this, if a St. Giovanni Maria Vianney, a St. Pio of Pietrelcina or San Leopoldo Mandić had lived today, they would not be taken care of "transmission of knowledge ever more sophisticated", aware that they were playing a far more important service.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni The ecclesiastic zeal in condemning everything to which you can attach the suffix “Ismo”, It impoverishes the readings and makes it foreign to “its”, who become suddenly “distant”.

.

Answer from such purpose that Melloni, man "carnal" as, that "does not understand the things of the Spirit of God" (The Cor 2,14), He understands nothing of priestly discernment, in which the minister of Christ, thanks to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit gift, is that ' "spiritual man, that judges everything, without being judged by anyone" (v.15), if not from God himself (The Cor 4,4).

.

Writes Alberto Melloni The loss of role and’ emotional neglect exposes the worst: until the soppy exaltation of celibacy, that traps sexuality in search of sublimation and attracts the priesthood unresolved or even sick people.

.

Answer from such purpose with that wicked and slanderous insinuation, Melloni seems to extend to the generality of the clergy the ideas and the vicious behavior of some priests unworthy, although you have to actually recognize that among moralists meander heretical ideas, o o rigorous lassiste, about sexual ethics value and, consequently, of priestly celibacy, as it reflected by the Magisterium of the Church, that indeed is to be feared that the corruption of the clergy on this point is larger than it looks.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni And in recent European history the priest's job is contracted out, as marginal tasks, to import clerics, elected caretakers of abandoned communities.

.

I repeat in this regard that this further, wicked and obtuse misunderstanding, it is now that of charity, of mutual aid, solidarity, of generosity and Priestly availability and between priests, to serve the Church and our neighbor, charity exemplary, which today give evidence many priests and religious, ready to leave their homeland, maybe very far, to aid needy dioceses or offering possibilities for ministry or other institution of their communities in areas with shortage of vocations.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni Even the discussion on the woman-priest - forgetting that the “priesthood” that is received in baptism women have already, and that is no small thing -, It mixes dangerously to the whole male logic which grants the other typically become obsolete crafts.

.

Answer from such purpose that the Church does not forget at all that a Christian woman is baptized; rather it is that Melloni - endorsed heresy Schillebeeckx - forget that the Church, by the will of Christ, does not allow the woman to enter the ministerial priesthood.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni The Vatican II merely groped to remove the priest that semi-monastic tone that had. Not the papacy which simply pack a priest of the poetic. Do not talk about the bishops who package the communities in what are called in Italy “pastoral unit”, and condemn the priests to become breathless officials, overwhelmed by a Community polygamy where nobody wants them well and they fail to love, at the risk of becoming saints or shipwrecked on the rocks erotic not always candid.

.

Answer from such purpose who is seriously insulting to the papal magisterium of the past and present state that it "simply pack a priest of the poetic". Likewise, the historian Melloni forget the world and national synods of bishops dedicated to the priesthood. The mocking tone in which mention the pastoral units, It is totally undesirable and denotes the presumption of those handling sensitive topics, where it has no jurisdiction.

.

Reckless and offensive of the priestly class, sign of partisanship and not of historical objectivity, It is the unwarranted generalization, extending to all the clergy dysfunction and maybe existing anomalies, but isolated and accidental. As to the "risk of becoming holy", Melloni not worry, tea, with these slanders, exaggerations and falsehoods, He certainly did not run.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni What is so bad that not even speak Pope Francis.

.

Answer from such purpose that this is not true, although of course the Pope can not echo the falsity of Melloni. The Holy Father has intervened several times to condemn the vices of the clergy and the defects of the same Roman Curia, and to indicate to the priests of holiness through their faith (cf. Light of Faith) and the best way to proclaim the Gospel (cf. The gospel of joy), shepherding the flock entrusted to them in some difficult circumstances (cf. love joy), plus all the times in which he spoke of vocations, of the works of mercy, the ministry of confession, of prayer, of the liturgy, forcing himself to be an example for priests.

.

If anything, we would like to ask the Pope to better promote the sacredness of the liturgy, remembering the sacrificial character of the Mass. The ecumenical concern to converge with Protestant brothers in memory of the Lord's Supper, It is certainly good and in line with the Council; but we have to wait in prayer and ecumenical dialogue, in mutual charity, then blessed, hidden in the plans of the Lord, but also related to the goodwill of all, in which the separated brethren recognize the sacrament of priestly ministry, the mystery of transubstantiation and the Mass as a sacrifice, in order to finally celebrate the Eucharist together. This is not to give in to lefebvrismo, but rather to take the reform of the reform, who initiated Papa Benedetto.

.

Writes Alberto Melloni So would touch to the bishops and the Bishops' Conferences to raise an issue on which it plays the lives of their churches: but laziness prevails, encouraged by the hope that the reform tomorrow to have the same courage that “He invented the priest”.

.

Answer from such purpose that the priest did not invent the Council of Trent, but our Lord Jesus Christ, however different the priesthood is the time of Christ, to those of Trent, to ours. The episcopate problem is not indolence - some are too active -, but the fact of the spread between the bishops of modernism, whereby, people suffering from this disease, prefer listening Alberto Melloni and other ringleaders and modernists rahneriani, rather than the Pope, Scripture and Tradition.

JESUS ​​CAME DOWN INTO HELL. THERE REALLY HELL AND PARADISE ?

.

"This descent of the soul of Jesus should not be imagined as a geographical journey, locale, from one continent to another. It is a journey of the soul […] This word of the Lord of the descent into Hell mainly means to say that the past is achieved by Jesus, that the effectiveness of the Redemption does not begin in the year zero or thirty, but it also goes to the past, embraces the past, all men of all times " [S.S. Benedict XVI, Questions about Jesus, program In His Image, 22 April 2011]

MAURIZIO GASPARA - Hell many do not believe, others argue that it can not be eternal and others that it is empty. The same is true of the Angel fell and sin. For many it is the Catholic Church and still many inventions live as if God did not exist, and Heaven and Hell would be just illusions. To try to explain how can a good God allow such as the Christian revolt of the angels, the spread of evil, the existence of Hell and Paradise, father Giovanni Cavalcoli, of the Dominican Order, he wrote and published the book: Hell exists. The truth denied [cf. WHO]. Father Giovanni Cavalcoli is Metaphysical teacher at the Studio of Bologna Dominican Philosophical and Systematic Theology at the Theological Faculty of Emilia-Romagna. Official of the Secretariat of State 1982 al 1990, Academic is the Papal 1992. Author of numerous books and essays, It carries out an intense work of formation.

ZENIT, 29 March 2010

.

.

For the secular world and even some believers Hell does not exist. This would be an invention. What is your opinion on it?

.

Tintoretto descent into hell

Tintoretto, Descent of Christ into Hell

The secular world has lost faith in the Hereafter, Whether it's heaven or hell it. And a certain measure of secularism unfortunately has crept even among some believers, which, What they say is an afterlife, This is only the Paradise. This is the so-called mentality feel-good, so it is not surprising that, according to these trends, Hell is an invention. In reality, as I have shown in my book, Hell is not an invention, but it is a truth of faith taught by our Lord Jesus Christ, the New Testament, by Sacred Tradition and some councils. So it's a matter of divine revelation, that the Church has the task of guarding and teaching.

.

Based on what topics it claims that Hell exists?

.

The doctrine of hell is a theological doctrine. Now, the arguments of theology are not empirical, but they are the Words of Jesus Christ, which you can only be accepted on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ and in the Church that we mean the Words of Christ.

.

Are there really heaven and hell?

.

From this point of view, the topics are many. I will here mention only one [cf. pag. 33 my book about hell], which I think is particularly effective, because it is found in the Second Vatican Council [The light, n. 48] and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church [n. 1034]. This is the step Matteo [cf. 25, 31-46] where Jesus Christ is not merely announces the mere possibility of damnation, but simply it provides for the fact of the existence of the damned.

.

Where and when was born Hell?

.

To answer this question, we must consider what exactly is Hell. It, regarding men, It consists of irrevocable rejection of the mercy offered to us by the Father through Jesus Christ, Son of God. In this sense, we can say that the infernal damnation came into existence with the coming of Christ. Instead, if we consider the sin of the beginning of creation, angels, Hell exists for them since that time [cf. Mt 25,41; 2 PT 2,4].

.

Where was born Hell?

.

As for the sinners angels, as they were before in heaven, We can say he was born in heaven, from which were precipitated [AP 12,8]. As for men, Hell is born into this world when Jesus was rejected.

.

There afterlife or is present on Earth?

.

According to one theory of Christianity secularist-gooder, if one can speak of "Inferno", This only exists on this earth, in the sense that the punishment for the wicked there's only down here, and then there is the paradise for all. There is also another argument, totally pagan, according to which Hell would be that condition of suffering which also affects the innocent oppressed by overbearing. While in this second case the word "hell" is used in an improper way, in the first case there is some truth, as the state of mortal sin is already in a sense Hell. But this argument overlooks the fact that the irrevocable fullness of hellish condition for humans is only after death. However, every man, You may repent before death, It can regain the status of the grace of Christ, whereby, if it continues in this state until death, can avoid Hell.

.

What Scripture says about?

.

The most authoritative voice is that of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In it we find an echo in the other books of the New Testament, and in particular in the Revelation, in which we have a great vision of the ultimate triumph of Christ over all the powers of evil, which it will be put in a position of no more harm to the elect.

.

The Hell's admirable description of the Divine Comedy is credible?

.

Certainly in its substance it is credible, Why, as you know, Dante was not only a Catholic, He had acquired a remarkable theological culture of Thomistic mold attending the Dominican convent of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. While, Dante, the great poet who was, It has allowed the so-called poetic license, for which he created environments, events and characters that clearly beyond those we are taught by the Christian Revelation, although at the same time, all in all, not oppose. A curious thing that we might note in this regard and that it is not a matter of Christian faith, is the condition of so-called "cowardous», who lived "without fame and without praise"And therefore they are placed by Dante in the Inferno, but in a place by itself.

.

Admitting the existence of Hell presupposes fear the Devil. How the fallen angel and Hell lie in the divine plan?

.

The Christian must have a certain fear of the Devil, as well as we can have a reasonable fear to take a disease or falling into some sin. Hence the duty of the Christian to guard against moral dangers that can come from evil temptations, avoiding excessive safety attitudes. Said this, however, the Christian basically not afraid of the Devil, because the Christian who lives in Christ enjoys the same power of Christ, who conquered Satan. On the contrary, from this point of view, We can say it is the devil who is afraid of the Christian. As it says St. Caterina da Siena, we are defeated by the Devil if we want, loving or committing sin. The Devil and Hell lie in the divine plan as it is a deterrent that helps us to avoid sin. In second place, as far as the devil, also it is seen as an instrument of divine Providence for two purposes: to strengthen us in virtue and to call paternally when we commit evil. The devil in itself would just our bad, only that Divine Providence uses it according to his very wise designs for our good.

.

Why does God allow the angel to rebel?

.

Because it has a great respect for the free will of the creature. Now, precisely, the Rebel Angel is a creature endowed with free. Then, at this point, we can say that God, in order to comply with this free will, She agrees to be rejected by that creature that really could only find in him his full happiness. This analogy holds true also for the human story. Also it can say that God allowed the Angel disobedience, because from eternity he had planned the Incarnation of the Word, thanks to which humanity, saved by Christ, He would in Christ defeated Satan and reached a condition of life - that of the children of God - higher than we would have been if the angel had not sinned.

.

What is the relationship between evil and Hell?

.

We can say that Hell is a victory over the moral evil, or on sin, although it remains the evil of punishment, that is, the suffering of the damned. Here, however, it is a just penalty, whereby, From this point of view we can say that it is good that there is this evil, so we see that, dal punto di vista scatological, everything is resolved in well. It should also be pointed out very clearly that it would be blasphemous to blame God for this evil, which instead he is responsible only for the angelic creature, or human, while on the other hand the existence of evil it just manifests divine justice, which, moreover, it is always mitigated by mercy.

.

What should people do to escape Hell and gaining Heaven?

.

Practically it comes to putting in place all the precepts of the Christian life, starting with hatred for sin, by the knowledge of its consequences, to move to the duty to obey with all our strength to the commands of the Lord, to live in grace, the continued practice of conversion and Christian life, in unlimited confidence in divine mercy, frequenting the sacraments in communion with the Church, in devotion to the saints and especially to the Blessed Virgin Mary, cultivating a strong desire of Heaven and holiness and courageously fighting daily against the wiles of the tempter, under the protection of St. Michele Arcangelo. In exceptional cases of aggression on the part of the devil, there exists the practice of exorcism. These recommendations apply of course for Catholics, But as all men are called to salvation and therefore they are called to avoid Hell and gaining Heaven, their duty is to follow their correct conscience, to the extent that they know the needs of the property and cultivating, with the help of grace, an at least implicit faith in God as the rewarder of the good and the wicked Judge.

OLD AND NEW LIES ON THE RESURRECTION: The ’ IMPRINT of the FACE of CHRIST in the VEIL of VERONICA

 

Veronica does not appear in the Chronicles of the Gospel and its figure is part of many centuries of piety and popular traditions. Guidance on this female figure we find in some of the many apocryphal Gospels, to be exact the The 7th chapter of the acts of Pilate. But what problems can arise from certain texts, such as the apocryphal Gospels, If placed in the hands of certain scholars or suspected such, more or less intellectually honest?

Among the various female characters who lived in contact with the word of God made man, the figure of Veronica, that is how deep the centuries offers food for thought. This pious woman known as she who along the via dolorosa, in seeing Jesus carrying the cross with his face covered in blood because of the crown of thorns, the wiped with a linen cloth on which was printed the ’ imprint of the face of the Lord, the so-called veil of Veronica.

apocryphal Gospel fragment

Veronica does not appear in the Chronicles of the Gospel and her figure is part of many centuries of piety and popular traditions. Guidance on this female figure we find in some of the many apocryphal Gospels, to be exact the The 7th chapter of the acts of Pilate.

The apocryphal Gospels 1

an apocryphal Gospel lyrics

It is good to point out that the apocryphal Gospels, which also contain interesting historical and contemporary costume, are not recognized by the Church and often do not even have any links with the mystery of revelation; Although some biblical scholars want to give them a recognition of historical character but can not stand upright, with free peace of what they teach some lecturers at the Pontifical biblical Institute and Pontifical Lateran University, We lay on the Gregorian not even the classic “veil”, but their heavy wool quilt. Separate the true from likely and the genuine from the fake ’ in the texts of the apocryphal Gospels, is like looking for a needle in a haystack; noble enterprise which cannot and must not be prevented, as long as those who do some research this is fully aware, then take action and especially teach with cautious consequence.

Different but similar applies to certain scholars secularists as Umberto Eco, that was a true scholar; or like Corrado Augias, that is a fake scholar. Not to mention a novelist from tiny but rich as Dan Brown box, that in his best-selling translated into 20 languages and sold millions of copies with "sensational revelations" on news “withheld from the Church”, for example peregrine theories on the Lord Jesus and Magdalene, for which are offered as authentic evidence sources written unrecognized precisely because spurious untrustworthy. This is why the apocryphal Gospels are not accepted, Why not say or contain "uncomfortable truths", but why they collect patently inaccurate news and studiously often false.

Who then as Corrado Augias assumed instead of knowing what in fact does not know, Turning to millions of viewers with powerful means for feed the canard of the four canonical Gospels ' chosen at the Council of Nicaea by order of the Emperor Constantine, who needed to give a unitary religion Empire», should be at least aware "he will also be pure Pike a connoisseur of Judaism" that exist even apocryphal Gospels created by Jewish circles deeply hostile to Christianity. And just taking cues from certain false news the same Gospels claim: «So this rumor was spread among the Jews until today» [Mt 28, 15]. Rumors put before writing and spread, so much so that between the 4th and the 6th century principieranno to circulate within the Jewish History of Jesus [Toledot Yeshu], a satirical and irreverent collection on the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, indicated in the other ’ as bastard [verbatim bastard] the illegitimate son born from forbidden Union of his mother with a Roman soldier; all news then found in the Babylonian Talmud between the 7th and 8th centuries what “he tries” the great Christian lie, and still teaching the subject in rabbinical schools of the ultra-Orthodox and more, as I will explain later. But on the whole this Corrado Augias fly, being part of an epic historical materials in complex ignoramus and theology that would presume treat and partly because intellectually dishonest.

Lubavitch

the Jewish sect of Gnostic-esoteric matrix of Hasidim of Lubavitch, one of the most powerful and successful within the Jewish world, in particular in the United States of America

Not to mention interfaith dialogue It did not in truth but in political correctness, which from our side, many eminent and distinguished scholars of the Catholic world, do not hesitate to sacrifice half a century even some of the basics of our faith. And they fly over “wisely” on a given determined and blatant historical: several so-called apocryphal Gospels were born in the Jewish world during the first apostolic age and are sensational forgeries studied at the table - or rather at the tables of the Synagogues -, then disseminated in order to put in bad light the first Judeo-Christian movement and the same Christ, on which we offer news and stories embarrassing to say the least. And the more the figure of Christ, in some of these texts, It is presented as that of a subject iracondo, violent and even immoral, is more evident and obvious the matrix of certain rabbinical schools of. But unfortunately, in the dialogue to “good blood volume“, These study topics are not addressed. On the contrary, It looks from point out that these false texts are still presented as incontrovertible truth of Jewish orthodoxy in many environments, in particular within the Meetings [rabbinical schools] of various sects so-called ultra-Orthodox from the world of the various Hasidic movements. And from the Hebrew, these falsehoods are hereafter passed to poison the world Masonic esotericism, and the Masons have given large spread them blowing the trumpets to all breathless. But, as I mentioned just above, in the authentic Gospels that tell the mystery of the Resurrection of Christ, a clarification of everything is written, :

.

“Some guards came to the city and announced everything that had happened to the chief priests. These are then assembled with the elders and, after consultation, They gave a good sum of money to the soldiers, saying: “thus shall ye say: His disciples came by night and stole him, while we slept. And if ever he came to the ear of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of concern”. So they took the money and did as instructed. So this story has been reported among the Jews until this day " [cf. Mt 28, 11-15].

.

That is pace of interfaith dialogue, at least until the Church will continue to teach that the Santi Vangeli contain both truths of faith both facts and historical truths, beyond the well unedifying bultmaniane acrobatics of Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi which over time has repeated several times their element unhistorical but instead allegorical from then interpret with the categories of theology …

Paolo Flores d'arcais is free to write what he wants, as I am of deny it. I would have rather a lot to debate on the right to freedom of our theologians and exegetes — very sympathetic to the left radical chic — to quote him in certain academic areas of our ecclesiastics, to suggest even in homes where they form the future priests reading of certain “interesting” texts published in the journal Micromega. And I said this must extend warmest congratulations to the Congregation for the clergy now in charge of the supervision of seminars, the Congregation for Catholic education in charge of our academic training centres, and finally to the Italian episcopate; all of them deserve the warmest thanks to the commendable manner in which they exercise their apostolic obligation to monitor our formation houses and on those theological studies in which sometimes seems to get around, except that which is Catholic.

Veronica, in a painting of the 19th century. by Paul de la Roche

The name Veronica comes from the Greek Φερενικη [pherenike] and consists of φερω [phero, which leads] it's a win [Nike, victory], that means: the one that brings victory. This name, transposed then in Latin – Veronica – takes on the meaning of the passage with Vera icon, what does it mean “true icon ", "true image”, thereby lending itself as an iconographic image in the overall framework of passion, that from the second Middle Ages began to illustrate this pious woman wipes the face of the Lord. Figure, that of Veronica, cautiously extrapolated by the stories often confused, often just as untrue and not consistent with the story that emerge from numerous apocryphal Gospels, some of which are undoubted interest charge d ’, If taken with all due caution and with whom you should try to take out a needle from a haystack of true false.

From the 15th century Veronica is venerated as one of the pious women that followed along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, the crucifixion of Jesus, and is mentioned in VI° of the pious exercise of station Way of the cross. According to some traditions Santa Veronica is the same woman who would have dried the face of Christ, but on this there is no historical documentation and feedback. According to these ancient traditions Veronica consecrated his life in spreading the Gospel, traveling to various cities in Europe, leaving Rome the precious linen with which wiped the face of the Lord and from there continue towards Gaul, the current France, where he died dedicating himself to the conversion of the Gauls in Christianity.

In the mystery of the Holy Passion of our Lord Veronica invites us to contemplate the face of Christ, a face that goes far beyond the actual physical face in and of itself, to come to the contemplation of which there is very useful one of the Psalms of David: «Listen, man, my voice. I cry: have mercy on me! Answer me. You said my heart: "Seek his face"; your face, man, I seek. Don't hide your face, don't dismiss your servant with anger. Are you my help, Don't leave me, do not forsake me, God of my salvation " [Shall 26].

The true face of the Lord that we seek and we need to look for is the mystery of his constant presence in the history of mankind and humanity ’; that Christ Allus, as define Sant'Agostino, that is the beginning, the Centre and the ultimate goal of our entire humanism. World history is the history of God's presence, from the garden of Eden in which the "face of God" creates man in his own image and likeness, until the inverted stone of the tomb of the risen Christ, where the "face of God", After being offered as a slain lamb, resplendent in glory and in the fullness of his divinity, bringing in your glorious body indelible signs of passion [LC 24,40; GV 20,20.27].

As says the Apostle Paul: … If Christ had not risen, in vain would our faith, vain hope [The Cor 15, 14].

The reasons of don Alessandro Minutella must remain in the communion of the Church and to serve the Church in obedience to the Church

REASONS FOR DON ALESSANDRO MINUTELLA SHOULD REMAIN IN THE COMMUNION OF THE CHURCH AND IN THE SERVICE OF THE CHURCH IN OBEDIENCE TO THE CHURCH

.

Today, some thinkers, and unfortunately many clergymen, They have passed the same Luther, which in comparison - it goes without saying it is a paradox -, ends up be more orthodox of them. From these cases then we see that there is more contrast between modernists and Catholic, than between Lutherans and Catholics. Catholics are more united with Luther that the modernist. The main problem of unity among Christians, today, It is not so much that of the union with the Lutherans - there's also this, obviously -, but rather that of 'unity among Catholics.

Minutella homily

it Presbítero Alessandro Minutella, sermon "The embarrassment of the false church» [to open the video click on the image]

the news of the decree of your Bishop He was surprised and saddened, because recently I heard some of your homilies in which you earnestly denounced the spread of many heresies in the Church type modernistic, declaring at the same time, in critical tone towards the Lefebvrians, your respect for the decrees of the Second Vatican Council and complaining about their performance in the modernist sense.

.

These your words coincide with what I am arguing publicly for many years, so I suffered unjust measures by the authorities. How you claim you, Today in the Church the modernist trend has become so established, which it is also widespread among Bishops, so that they favor the modernists and punish anti-modernists. And how can you determine, we Fathers de The Island of Patmos We are writing for some years about these serious problems, Just browse our store to find dozens of writings on this specific topic.

.

I know that your Bishop has motivated the decree citing you, while it is free from heretical infections, break the ecclesial communion. You, instead, from your hand, you feel unjustly punished and you quoted the authority of St. Thomas about. I state that I do not have enough information to form an opinion, but I offer you some criteria derived from Angelic Doctor.

Minutella appeal to Francis

Alessandro Minutella appeal to the Supreme Pontiff Francis [to open the video click on the image]

First of all must be for you a great satisfaction the fact he had been assured by your Bishop was not a heretic, considered, as I said earlier, the current widespread heresy even between the hierarchy and the theologians. At the same time I am amazed inconsistency of your bishop but allows a heretic as Enzo Bianchi to make a public lecture in his cathedral church [cf. recent article by Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO]. Indeed, by Enzo Bianchi, There are authoritative rebuttals, like that of our dear and esteemed brother Antonio Livi, while on this online magazine of the Fathers The Island of Patmos I have refuted several times and severely; is also one document in preparation study to which Dr.. Jorge Facio Lince has been working for months [some of our other articles on Enzo Bianchi heresies are still readable WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO, etc ..]

.

As for the teaching of Aquinas in terms of criminal decrees, he distinguishes an undue Decree [excommunication due;] because of the contempt of the law by the authority [the opinion of law being observed]. "So, if part of the judgment that there is an error, to render void the judgment, it has no effect ». So those affected can not take this into account.

.

"If the ruling is right, it is to be punished and must obey humbly, and it will be his merit; or it must ask the Superior the annulment of the decree; or recourse must be had to a higher level. If he showed contempt for the decree, thereby sinning mortally " [Sum. Theol., Suppl., q. 21, a. 4]. I am unable to advise you on which path to take. You stand, in conscience, before God, make the decision. I can cite my own case, who has found the following solution. Following my broadcast on Radio Maria, the 30 last October, in which I talked about divine punishments, my Superior I partially suspended peep the 5 following November, by publishing a statement against me infected by heresy, that denies the original sin [in these articles is my defense: WHO, WHO, in this next trilogy Instead it shows that my case was mounted by environment-related lobby gay, WHO, WHO, WHO].

Judgment obviously unjust that against me, to which I I adeguai in obedience, without failing to explain in detail my reasons to the Superior. But there was nothing to be done. He did not answer me either. Then, in late January, I appeal to higher court, getting satisfaction. Two days after the Superior reinstated me in the fullness of my priestly functions. But the question, very serious, of the divine punishments, It remains open in the field of contemporary theology. The same Pontiff, in his speech to the earthquake victims during his visit to the Carpi 2 last April, he mentioned the consequences of original sin in the following words: "Our soul, created for life, He suffers hearing that his thirst for eternal good is oppressed by an ancient and evil dark ' [cf. video, WHO, WHO].

.

The Church teaches the priest He must see the Bishop as his immediate superior, which, however, it represents the Pope, to whom, ultimately goes obedience to supreme level on this earth. The communion with the bishop and the local Church is subject to communion with the Supreme Pontiff.

.

Today we are in an ecclesial situation in which there are modernists Bishops or Lefebvrians, who are not in full communion with the Vicar of Christ or pretend to be; rather, while the former, careerists and bullies, flatter him and pressed on him with a style that looks like the mafia, seconds, on the basis of an incorrect reference to Tradition, reject the teachings of Vatican II and the Mass new world order, and disobey the Pope openly [cf. article in the 2015 at Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO].

The unity of the local Church He must always take - priests and Bishop together - making the head unit of the Church Universal Roman, drawing inspiration from it and submitting it. This loyalty and obedience to the Pope and the Magisterium of the Church is the only treasure that we Catholics possess among all non-Catholic Christian brothers. These supreme values ​​I could deepen thanks to the experience that I have done since 1982 al 1990 as the official Secretary of State of John Paul II. Near the Pope and as collaborators of the Pope can make a beautiful and most fruitful experience of the universal Church, which does not detract at all, indeed does better understand the dignity and autonomy of the local church.

.

This wide and universal outlook, this bond with the Pope not to mention the immediate superior, but right through him, And, as it were, In the DNA the spirituality of us Dominicans, we make our profession of obedience to our Provincial Superior, Certainly, but beyond him and beyond him, our total profess obedience to the Supreme Pontiff.

.

Today the papacy has more than ever need to be helped, He warned in his ministry and defended by all the people of God, especially by the true prophets and the anime-victim, and because never before has he tried, threatened and besieged by Satanic forces who pretend to be friends, and instead they want to bring it down, and because unfortunately - something that never happened in the entire history of the Church - a crisis of faith has crept within the same episcopate and of the College of Cardinals and, consequently, They have arisen in the Church bitterly opposed factions and divisions [cf. Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO] - case in point the opposition between Lefebvre and modernists - right on the issue of the truths of faith.

S. AND. Rev.ma Mons. Corrado Lorefice, Primate Archbishop of Palermo and Sicily [to open the video click on the image]

There is more contrast between Rahner and St. Thomas Aquinas than between Luther and St. Thomas Aquinas. For Luther God is creator, for Teilhard de Chardin God is organizer of matter. For Luther the atheist is in error, Rahner instead for the atheist is an unwitting believer. For Luther God is omnipotent, David Maria Turoldo is weak. For Luther God is a You in front of 'the, Marco Vannini l 'the It is the "absolute subject". Luther admitted the immutability of dogma, Walter Kasper la Nega. Luther condemned atheism, Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini said that in the consciousness of the believer there is always an atheist. For Luther, faith is knowing the truth - that is, the Word of God -, many Catholic theologians is a "athematic and existential encounter" with Christ …

.

… for Luther Christianity is at the top of other religions, for Dupuis is one religion among others, Pair of other. For Luther the true religion is Christianity, however for Schillebeeckx it is the global federation of all religions [cf. my articles WHO, WHO]. For Luther the Christian only has the gift of the Spirit, however Raimundo Panikkar, the Indian mystic is the same as Christian. For Luther Muslims are enemies of the gospel, Instead Rahner are "anonymous Christians" [cf. my article WHO]. Luther believed in the next world; Gutiérrez said that the only world is this world. Luther thought that Adam and Eve were really existed; Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi said that the account of man's creation is an etiological myth [cf. my article WHO, Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo WHO]. Luther admits the Biblical account of man's creation, while Teilhard de Chardin says that man comes from monkeys.

.

Luther distinguishes the body from the spirit; Teilhard de Chardin says that evolution matter becomes spirit [cf. my article WHO]. Luther believed in the immortality of the soul, Vito Mancuso denies. Luther believed in the resurrection of the dead at the end of the world, per Rahner, instead, the resurrection takes place immediately after death. Luther believed in the divine punishment, Raniero Cantalamessa and Hermes Ronchi do not believe [cf. my article WHO, Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO]. Luther believed in hell, von Balthasar says that "exists" but that "is empty". Luther believed in the existence of the devil, many Catholic exegetes do not believe.

For Luther Trinity Three Persons, Rahner are three ways to be God. Luther recognized the And the son, for Melloni, which instead is wire-orthodox, if you can do without. Luther was quite certain of what Christ said, Father Arturo Sosa S.J. He says that we are not sure [cf. article by Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO]. For Luther was a heretic Arius, Arius was right for Bianchi, as it seems to have said recently in your church cathedral [cf. texts lessons by Enzo Bianchi, WHO, WHO]. Luther acknowledged the deity of Christ, Schillebeeckx believes Christ alone il "eschatological prophet". For Luther believe that Christ is the Redeemer, It is an absolute truth, Instead Marcello Bordoni, Christ can freely interpret, choice, or as a redeemer or "martyr prophet", as one prefers. For Luther Christ is the only Savior, Giuseppe Dossetti Jews are also saved without Christ.

.

Luther accepted the Christological dogma of Chalcedon, Bruno Forte interprets the Incarnation in the Hegelian sense [cf. my article, WHO]. For Luther Christ is the God of Truth, while de la Potterie simply Christ teaches us the Gospel. As for Luther the atoning sacrifice of Christ is the truth of faith, for Cardinal Robert Zollitsch the idea of ​​atonement is medieval image exceeded. For Luther Christ's sacrifice was wanted by the Father for our salvation, Schillebeeckx for the death of Christ was not a sin offering, but only a crime caused by human malice.

.

Luther distinguished thought from reality: duty of thinking is adapted to the real. Instead, for Rahner, the real is identified with the thought, so my idea is reality: the self is always right. Luther recognized that we have to obey the Ten Commandments, Rahner while everyone is free to decide for themselves of their identity. For Luther consciousness is submitted to the word of God, while Cardinal Walter Kasper is the source of truth [the cogito of Descartes] and for the Father Arturo Sosa excels on everything [cf. my article, WHO, Our answers to the Readers WHO, etc ..]. Luther knows that sin is a tremendous evil, which it is only removed from the Cross of Christ, per Teilhard de Chardin, instead, sin is simply a negligible hiccup in the unstoppable path Evolution [Kasper see my articles WHO, WHO]

.

S.It is prayer. Rev.ma Mons. Corrado Lorefice, Primate Archbishop of Palermo and Sicily [to open the video click on the image]

Luther was against Pelagio, for which grace was the prize to the works, instead, per Rahner, the grace is the vertex human self-transcendence. Luther said that it is only justified those who believe, who does not believe, it is condemned, instead, per Rahner, all are justified, because all have faith, least "implied, preconscious and athematic ". Luther believed in original sin, Nunzio Galantino does not believe [cf. my article WHO, Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo WHO]. Luther condemned sodomy, Bianchi approves. Vincenzo Paglia does great things about Pannella, approving the confusion between the sexes [cf. my article WHO], Luther recognized the distinction between men and women and he condemned as immoral Pannella. Luther judges modernity according to the Gospel, modernists judge the Gospel according to modernity.

.

Today, some thinkers, and unfortunately many clergymen, They have passed the same Luther, which in comparison - it goes without saying it is a paradox -, ends up be more orthodox of them. From these cases then we see that there is more contrast between modernists and Catholic, than between Lutherans and Catholics. Catholics are more united with Luther that the modernist. The main problem of unity among Christians, today, It is not so much that of the union with the Lutherans - there's also this, obviously -, but rather that of 'unity among Catholics. The modernists, who boast of dialogue with the Lutherans, They end up absorbing the heresies of Luther, giving them a Catholic painting and despising actually Luther, by them as a fundamentalist overcome by the "historical-critical exegesis".

.

Dear Don Alessandro, your battle against modernism is more legitimate than ever, necessary and appropriate. The modernists have come to a very high directional seats, among the collaborators of the Pope or presenting themselves as friends of the Pope, while the crafty sycophants and Judah, that would impose, as mobsters, their shady plans Masonic subservience of the Church to the powers of the world [cf. article in the 2015 at Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO] . We must do everything possible to free the Holy Father from this deadly embrace and these occult powers, who put the Venerable Pope Benedict XVI in the position of having to give freely to the Petrine ministry.

the conference on compulsive gambling promoted by Lions Club, at which he gave a talk Ariel S. Levi Gualdo on the relationship between Catholic morality and gambling

Reducing people slaves irrational-emotional feelings, of illusion and dreams, It is not the worst form of slavery?

Modern slavery It is worse than that of the ancient Romans, it was a legal institution of civil law; an institution that provided for the emancipation, the slave liberation. And once it becomes Liberto, the former slave, species in the imperial era, He could make even brilliant careers. Instead of modern slavery, not codified in any law, because the democratic systems that promuono psychological slavery are those who condemn slavery firmly, but then made the same resulting in exercising massive controls on masses of slaves, for which it is not expected that legal possibility of emancipation already planned rather than two millennia ago in the Roman civil law.

And here I would point out that not all addictions are in itself and of itself bad, sometimes they are not even harmful. Indeed, addiction", It can arise from our own glossy initial choice which can then escape our control, until enslaving, but nevertheless it starting from an initial act of our free will. There are in fact two different forms of slavery: We can be enslaved by a violent total deprivation of liberty, or we can be enslaved by various forms of psychological dependence, almost without realizing it [follows the conference video]

The Fathers de The Island of Patmos They remained bitter about the case of the priest Palermo Alessandro Minutella [see WHO], so they decided to dedicate two different writings: Giovanni Cavalcoli, an indirect reflection but to him valuable due to the fact that all that is modern is not modernism; Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, more directly, also he considered it in the consciousness of having to recall the duties of his priestly vows.

At our online magazine The Island of Patmos We received messages from readers asking onlookers about your preaching and catechesis in the video spread online network. I replied trying to "fix" the scandal shot towards which you were plummeting.

.

Then I was contacted from journalists covering of church and ecclesiastical affairs, including two of the foreign press, they asked me theological opinion and canon. At that point it was no longer possible to "tune the message", and in priestly consciousness, in theological science and in compliance with the laws of the Church, I had to respond fairly and accurately.

Your video plays here, It contains serious defects of substance and form. In it you from start to your speech reporting the cases of two of your brother priests of the ancient and noble Church panormitana that demean the dignity of the Sacred Order of Priests. Of these two names do not [see video-homily WHO], But while hinting that it is Fabrizio Fiorentino [see WHO] and Cosimo Scordato [see WHO]. Between the two the most harmful is certainly Cosimo Scordato, which he should not be allowed to teach sacramental theology at the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Palermo, for its obvious and documented unorthodox tendencies related to both the ecclesiology is the dogmatic sacramental.

Use two figures of questionable priests the pastoral and theological level, should you cause for pain, no reason to build the thesis that ... the other is worse, thus presenting yourself before the people of God as an innocent victim because of priestly virtues model. Indeed, your cassock - the same that I always wear every day -, Pastoral lose all meaning and sense of visible witness of your renunciation of the world, if it does not dwell in a soul able to recognize mystery of grace for the indelible mark of the priesthood even in a confrere who carelessly spread their pictures in a bathing suit on the computer network. Indeed, if your priestly cassock is also intimately experienced with Christian piety to visible defects of others, It will become a lot worse than the swimsuit flaunted by your brother in the photographs of him published in the electronic network. Is this, in deep consciousness, I tell you in my capacity as confessor to many Priests.

None of the Disciples Christ God has ever accused of having accepted into the College of the Apostles Judas Iscariot, who then betrayed him. Nor has anyone ever denied the authority of Peter reminding him of having denied Christ three times and that he had taken flight as many times. Far from it, the Blessed Apostle Paul, which also severely scolded in Antioch [cf. Gal 2, 1-11], He never doubted the authority of Peter, knowing that the command to feed his flock [cf. GV 21, 1-19] and of strengthening his brethren in faith [cf. LC 22, 31-34], at that weak pescatore galileo, undignified and culturally limited, He was transferred to the mystery of grace by Christ, God himself [cf. Mt 16, 13-20].

.

That said I'll note as follows :

.

1. from videos of your homilies and catechesis, It reveals a flawed theological training and structured in the style of preachers of certain evangelical sects, up to slip into heterodoxy in an attempt to preserve the orthodoxy of the deposit of the Catholic faith ;

2. your calls to the theologian Hans Urs von Balthasars are bold and arbitrary and they can deduce that your knowledge of the work of this scholar of the twentieth century is approximate, quindi falsifying, because having read and studied does not mean to have understood, and especially highly complex arguments such as those of this Author, to sift them not just a smattering of decadent neoscolastic, It is required a solid education and metaphysical Aristotelian-Thomist ;

3. Your transcends forms of Mariology Mariolatry, however, in a Latin-Mediterranean context in which the shepherds in the care of souls have the obligation and duty to correct certain deviant forms of popular piety linked to conventionally popular cults of the Blessed Virgin and the saints.

I stop to these brief theological aspects to invite you to reflect on the way you have gone scandal in the People of God, attacking your bishop during a liturgical action from inside the parish church entrusted to you, because through such rants have shown:

.

  1. to use other people's shortcomings, then the same reasons and the same aggressive emotion through which Martin Lutero attacked the Ecclesiastical Authority and the Rome already the German heretic called before you, "the great whore", term to which you have added to your: 'Multinational forgery' [cf. WHO] ;
  1. similarly to Luther, denouncing the immorality, the corruption and moral decadence of the church world - all that really exist and as such to be frowned upon, then as now -, you believe that the solution lies in your "ego" and break with ecclesial communion ;
  1. you have grossly disrespectful to the Pope implicitly accusing him of heresy, often also with delirious speeches, and you also missed badly of respect apostolic authority of your Bishop, claiming to act in the name of the "defense of truth" which in fact, however, represent only your personal idea of ​​truth, place the custody of the truth is not entrusted to you, much less to your subjectivity imbued with a sentimentality that denotes an emotion that you can not control and.

I think I can express so with authority and credibility because I have often criticized the private doctor Corrado Lorefice, of which I disagree with the theological approach geared to that of Bologna School I judge always pernicious, all within the freedom of the children of God and the legitimate theological dispute has always recognized and promoted by the Church, provided that done in wisdom and especially with charity [you can see in this regard my Lectio last year, WHO]. I have not even hesitated to show discomfort for the appointment of Italian Bishops belonging all the penalty to a specific school of thought and taken to the episcopate by those who claim the "plurality of ideas within the Church", but at the same time impose a de facto single thought, this thing that is called in other languages blow. That said I could continue a long time in painting the unique thought, deficiencies and above the mediocrity of the Bishops of last appointment, but never put in question their minimum apostolic authority, well it was the worst Bishops of Church history, to which we must obey, regardless of their intelligence and their human qualities, theological and moral; and that as long as they do not would end up falling into heresy. In this second case, to pass sentence on the heterodoxy of a Bishop, It can proceed only the Roman Pontiff through the relevant departments of the Apostolic. We have to report to the Authority of the Church any cases of heterodox bishops, But we can not condemn them, because our position is less sacramental, so we can not erigerci courts of those possessed of the supreme sacramental degree of fullness of the Apostolic Priesthood.

S. AND. Rev.ma Mons. Corrado Lorefice, Primate Archbishop of Palermo and Sicily

When he was ordained priest promised obedience to the Bishop and all his successors. This we should remember that we are called to obedience in faith, no obedience into sentimentality and emotion. Therefore, The true and faithful priest, obey not only the Bishop who he likes, that he He considered worthy O which estimates, but it obeys to the Bishop as such, as High Priest and member of the Apostolic College. And in his particular Church, the Bishop personifies Christ holding and unites all living members of the body which is the Church. Therefore, S. AND. Rev.ma Mons. Corrado Lorefice, Primate Archbishop of Palermo and Sicily, is the bishop to whom you have respect and filial obedience, because the Priesthood, to you as to us all, It was given in "free loan", not "possess". And you are called to exercise the sacred priestly ministry in communion with your Bishop in the ways and forms established by him.. The validity of Masses you celebrate, do not depend on your “magical power“, but from the Eucharist celebrated by the High Priest of the Church of Palermo, who has given you permission to celebrate the Eucharistic Sacrifice, administer confessions and preaching. And as these faculties you gave them according to the canonical laws of the Church, these faculties can revocartele on reasonable grounds, yes it is true that we are all priests marked with an indelible and everlasting character, but it is equally true that the priesthood is not ours, It is not our possession, It is a service to which we are called; and how to serve the Church through the Priesthood, it is established by the Bishop of the particular Church in communion with the Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the universal Church, certainly you can not determine this by asking you before the faithful above the authority of the High Priest of the Church panormitana, because your action is wicked, reprehensible and outrageous before the People of God.

S. AND. Rev.ma Mons. Corrado Lorefice, the day he received the pallium from Pope metropolitan Francis I

In your public speech you have stated clearly and implicitly not to recognize the authority of your Bishop, which does not fail to make hoax. And of egocentrism filling state that can not be interested in anything any suspension from the exercise of the ministry and so on, so that you will continue your work in a way that best reputerai right and proper.

.

Know that before you, Martin Lutero, He acted in the same way before the decree of the Supreme Pontiff, which he responded by calling the Successor of Peter: "ass", "Satan", "Lots of dung". And like you this heretic "set fire" to the papal decree, he physically, you with words.

corrado lorefice with pastoral

S. AND. Rev.ma Mons. Corrado Lorefice, Archbishop of Palermo

I believe that the Archbishop of Palermo was patient and prudent, compassionate and merciful. Had I been your bishop - is obviously an example academic -, I would have been too patient, prudent, compassionate and merciful, but by that time I would have taken steps to revoke the right to celebrate Mass in public, administer confessions and to preach. And once she summoned and locked in a room with me, I made you repent of your sins, If that room you had not gone out after she kissed the hand with the knee flexed recognizing my apostolic authority, rinnovandomi obedience and declaring that would have acted in the manner indicated by me and controlled by virtue of the grace of state given to me, place the grace of your state does not exist and above all can not operate and produce fruit without the top grace of the bishop was.

.

Of different, between your bishop and me, But there's one thing: after I rebuked you'd also lost his license to teach theology to a dangerous brain poisoner as Cosimo Scordato and I would never want to Fabrizio Fiorentino to go around the world dressed as a trendy carefree bachelor to be selfie to be published on the electronic network. This is the substantial difference that exists between me and a poor person aequitas and a sense of proportion as Corrado Lorefice, that by the grace of God and the Holy See will is the rightful Pastor of the local Church in Palermo.

.

I suggest fraternally first publicly ask forgiveness to your Bishop, apologizing for having stuck with the faithful during the celebration of Holy Mass. After that would be appropriate for you to retire for a period of two years in a monastery, making you follow a good spiritual director for the care of your soul and an elderly theologian specialist who can heal the severe deformation of your theological thinking steeped in adulteration and serious errors.

S. AND. Rev.ma Mons. Corrado Lorefice, Metropolitan Archbishop of Palermo

If foresight, mature and humble not do this, the future that awaits you is likely to be that of the "shepherd" of a Christian sect dress outside by Catholic priest, surrounded by the aura of the beloved Holy Spirit and animated by a catastrophic vision that constitutes the very negation of our Holy Faith, certainly not the great message of hope contained in the Apocalypse of the Blessed Apostle John. a catastrophism, your, based on pessimism that is negation of our Holy Faith, which is based on the theological virtue of hope that no accident is placed in the middle between the other two theological virtues, right to join together with faith and charity.

.

Do not wait until no further ado to ask so docile and humble forgiveness of your Bishop, to which you are not required to pay tribute estimate, because you never gave it to him promise, as none of us has ever promised to estimate the proper Bishop, But obedience yes, him that you, because gliel'hai solemnly promise.

.

I bless you with priestly fraternity and I guarantee you my remembrance in prayer for your conversion and your renewed communion with the Bishop of the ancient and noble Church of Palermo.

by poor theology and spiritual formation for the priesthood, It can rise to the idea totally wrong that what is modern is in itself Modernist. the priest Alessandro Palermo Minutella has unfortunately given test. To open the video click on the image

The most urgent dialogue and important that today we need to promote is not the dialogue with Protestants, with the Orthodox, with Jews, with Muslims or with non-believers, and all useful things to do; what is urgent is the intra-ecclesial dialogue, the dialogue between Catholics, because there are in us and among us of the doctrinal and moral divisions very serious and intolerable.

.

It no longer knows what it means to be Catholic, because everyone puts this title what he pleases, and then the strangest ideas, extraneous and contradictory. You go to the supermarket of religions, you choose what you prefer, It passes by the bishop to the cashier to pay, and then home, with purchased products, it organizes the menu of the week and invite friends.

.

It is therefore urgent that we all gather around the Pope, Teacher of the Faith and supreme guardian and promoter in the ground unit, reconciliation and peace in the Church, all attentive and faithful to the fundamental lines of his pastoral service, without bothering to argue for some of its contingent choices, occasionally they are and remain questionable with filial freedom of thought, but giving up at the same time every foolish adulation and criticism malevolent.
