THE VALUE OF DOGMA IN CHRISTIAN LIFE: THE DOGMA OF CRISIS CREATES THE CRISIS OF FAITH

.

Without the unchanging truth, no dynamism or become of the spirit. Without loyalty to dogma, no progress in the Christian life. Without the preservation of dogmatic truth, no fervor or renewal in spirit. Without the faithful maintenance of the commitments undertaken before God, no perseverance and no fruit in the path of salvation. Without the inflexible uniqueness of the dogma, there is the misunderstanding, the scam, the fraud, the confusion, chaos.

the show woman Alba Parietti, that several times, during various television programs, she even became an expert in Catholic theology and morality [see this old article by Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO]

We have to go back to talking about the value of dogmas, of which we rarely hear about in preaching and homiletics. There is a lot of talk about "faith", of "Gospel" and "Word of God"; but one wonders what faith it is that does not care to know and specify what we must believe, and what are the truths of faith and who establishes them. What a gospel is that which does not clarify the doctrine of Christ? What a Word of God is that which is isolated from the interpretation given by the Church?

.

They spread with confidence and saccenteria in many places in the mass-media and in ecclesiastical and civil institutions, and certain ideas are welcomed with fanaticism and credulity, slogan, propositions pertaining to the Gospel or the Bible, spread by writers, journalists, Philosophy, psychologists, Sociology, historians, theology, exegetes, bishops, cardinals, successful prophets or seers. And so it happens that everyone, be the housewife, the fruit seller, the barber or the bartender has something to say, on the existence of God, on salvation, on morality or on the meaning of life, often in controversy with common sense, with sound philosophy or with dogma or with brothers of faith or with the Pope or with Tradition or with Scripture or with the Magisterium of the Church [to read the entire article click below]

BAD FRIENDS OF THE HOLY FATHER: BETWEEN THE JESUIT ANTONIO SPADARO utopianism And SECULARISM

.

Father Antonio Spadaro at this point moves away not only by liberation theology, but it seems to fall into the opposite of a certain attitude submissive and peace activist, that the approaching Utopianism liberal-Masonic Rousseau and enlightened matrix, that ignores the fact that original sin has left humanity in fact a tendency to injustice and violence, which can not be neutralized if not with a moderate use of force, in defense of the weak and the oppressed.

Antonio Spadaro, S.J. [open video WHO].

In an article on La Civiltà Cattolica dedicated to the problem of political fundamentalism, which it sparked a lot of discussion, the Father Antonio Spadaro S.J. He has made the following statement:

.

"The fundamentalist teopolitico scheme wants to establish the reign of a god here and now. And of course, the divinity is the ideal projection of established power. This vision creates the ideology of conquest. In contrast the true Christian teopolitico scheme is rather eschatological, that looks to the future and intends to direct this story towards the Kingdom of God, Kingdom of justice and peace. This vision creates the integration process, which unfolds with a diplomacy that does not anyone like crowns “Man of Providence”» [cf. full text WHO].

.

We observe that the scheme teopolitico Christian actually has an eschatological orientation, in the sense of preparing even now humanity of the risen, who will rule with Christ in heaven to his glorious and victorious Advent at the end of the world and the Last Judgment, with the defeat of the forces of evil and the final liberation of the righteous from the oppression of the wicked. This eschatological outcome is prepared by the joint action of the Church - the spiritual shepherds of action and political action of the laity - and men of good will, under the impulse of the Holy Spirit in the course of history.

.

The encyclical Peace on Earth the Holy Father John XXIII [full text WHO]

A distinction is made, in this promotion of humanity and society eschatological, the task of the ecclesial hierarchy from that of the laity, believers and non-believers, ie State. The task of the Church, the promotion of justice and peace - Pacem in Terris - it is to teach the whole of humanity, in the name of the Gospel and on the basis of practical reason, common to all men, what is the purpose of the state - the promotion of the common good time - and the natural moral laws established by God, that must be the basis of the legislation, whereby, if a civil law is contrary to the natural law, It is null and void and would observe criminal, at least the part of believers.

.

Care must be taken the eschatological perspective of the Kingdom of God is not generally a simple "justice policy perspective and peace", as it would seem to believe Father Antonio Spadaro, in assimilating what his positions and those of Liberation Theology, but it is a much higher meta, the object of divine Revelation and the Magisterium of the Church.

.

… «In the name of the Father …»

I fear, that what he says falls under the censorship of 'Education on liberation theology published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1984 [cf. text WHO], where it observes that the theology of liberation "arises in perspective of a temporal messianism, which it is one of the most radical secularization of the Kingdom of God and of its absorption expressions in the immanence of human history " [cf. n.6].

.

In fact, when we talk about eschatology and Kingdom of God, not enough simply, how does Spadaro, a vague reference to the prospect of "justice" and "peace" - this is already the aspiration of all human Politologie -, but it is necessary to specify and add the originality and novelty of the purposes specifically Christian, with their evangelical content, supernatural and revealed, deduced from Scripture and Tradition.

.

I agree however with the Father Antonio Spadaro to call "fundamentalist scheme ', you could say even totalitarian, the will "to establish the reign of a god here and now. And of course, the divinity is the ideal projection of established power. This vision creates the winning ideology ".

.

It is not difficult will recognizee what state political projects the Father Antonio Spadaro can refer. To stop only the theories appeared in the nineteenth century, we can certainly think of Hegel's political philosophy, for which the State is the immanence of God on earth, so the ruling political class is undoubtedly the divine guidance of the company. That being the case, the state does not recognize any natural moral law, or any law that precedes and funds, but the state is considered the ultimate foundation of law and morality, the so-called "ethical State".

.

11 February 1929, the head of Benito Mussolini government and the Secretary of State of His Holiness Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, sign the Lateran Pacts

So you understand the motto of Benito Mussolini, typically Hegelian: "Nothing outside the State, nothing above the State, nothing against the State '. It is true that the Duce was called, as is known, by Pio XI, "Man of Providence". In his written, indeed, Father Antonio Spadaro alludes, without naming, this Pontiff, namely to his famous sentence commentary addressed to Mussolini. However, you must remember that andsisteva then the danger of a spread in Europe of atheistic principles of the October Revolution, phenomenon that would be accentuated after the Second World War. Moreover, Mussolini had the merit to sign with the Church of the Lateran Treaty and the Concordat with Italy. With everything, it is clear that in these matters the judgment of the Pope is not infallible. The rest, we can only hope that our government represents us divine providence.

.

In the words of Pius XI, the author of the article joked inappropriately and too easy on the expression of a Pontiff, he could not foresee the tragedy in which Italy would fall twenty years later with the alliance with Hitler. On the other hand the fascists, gained power, They would not have missed, with their neo-pagan mentality and their arrogance, to exercise the Holy See and the Church a pressure that would have limited freedom, similar to what the modernists are doing today.

.

Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, arts Iosif Stalin [1879-1953]. It should not be forgotten that the other side of iron Curtain, after the Revolution of October 1917, there was this great "man of providence" …

We know the damage that, especially starting from 1938 on, made the’ "Providential man", but Father Antonio Spadaro should also know that the other side, the other "man of providence", It was not a St. Louis IX of France or St. Wenceslas, but Stalin, persecutor of the Church and slaughterer of those who would not be communists. So, in those years, It is that the choices were many: or Mussolini or Stalin. He chose the least worst.

.

As for Hegel, inspirational Nietzsche and Hitler, the state is the absolute Person and the Führer is the realization of this person. The city does not own the subsistence, but its substance and existence in the State person materialized in the Führer. The State is not due to the decision of individual citizens; but they are citizens to be based in the State, as divine substance. Under these conditions the will of the citizen coincides with the free and sovereign will of the Führer, while this is the will of the citizens of the substance, and thus the will of the citizen is free from the divine freedom of the Führer [1].

.

Vladimir Il'ič Ul'janov, aka Lenin [1870-1924], another great "man of providence" that more than iron Curtain sowed peace and good, an authentic Franciscan Russian Orthodox version …

Another social doctrine They can enter the "fundamentalist pattern," Father Antonio Spadaro, It is certainly the Marxist theory of social revolution, for which alienated man to be robbed of their work product, retakes possession of its essence through violence expropriating the master class, and privately held possession of production tools. In this view, the state is not, come in Hegel, the divine substance of civil society, but it is conceived as a transitional instrument of power, currently in the hands of the bosses, but it intended to come, by Revolution, in the hands of workers, to establish the "dictatorship of the proletariat", whose function is to eliminate oppression of the ruling class and establish a communist society without classes, in which, as he explained Lenin, It would take place the extinction of the State, no longer necessary in its repressive function, because in communist society, made righteous, equal and free, you no longer need the use of force.

.

In Marx not the state but the man, the genus, ie the man not as an individual, but as a social, as mankind, and me: "Man is God to man". In capitalist bourgeois society, the division of labor and division into classes, the man himself is split and placed against himself, because man oppresses man; Man is alienated of his divine essence.

.

the dangerous game of class struggle …

The Marxist method then teaches man alienated in the work - the worker -, conscious of its revolutionary power, to free himself and by that very fact the masters, also alienated into private property; hence the liberation of the whole humanity and religious alienation to alienation work time. The whole, is intende, horizon of history, not being conceivable, Marx, an eschatological perspective of eternity ultramundane, since it denied the transcendence of spirit over matter and the existence of God.

.

Liberation Theology, to which Father Antonio Spadaro seems to approach, but admits eschatology, but - as stated in the document of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith [cf. text WHO] - it does not give guarantees of transcendence over the horizon of history and therefore of politics: the world, eat says Gutierrez, It is this world and there is another world beyond the AL, besides this. God certainly is not denied, ma, in these conditions, It seems rather a worldly God, a God of history, more that the true God metahistorical, eternal and transcendent Christian, although Father Antonio Spadaro would just refuse a social and immanent God.

.

the visible products of Liberation Theology: Ernesto Guevara El Che said forward, Christ behind [by Sergio Michilini, Che Guevara with the Yellow Christ, 1996, oil on canvas, cm.60×70]

Liberation theology is also attracted by the revolutionary perspective, known as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who, to about, He warns against the risk of violence. However, about the problem of the revolution, falls here to remember that the Blessed Paul VI in Development of Peoples the 26 March 1967 admitted, in particularly serious circumstances, the lawfulness of the revolution [cf. n.31], just like always, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, He admits the use of force and the use of "just war" in specific situations of aggression [CCC n. 2263, NN. 2307-2317], course for the defense of the common good and of peace.

.

Father Antonio Spadaro at this point it moves away not only by liberation theology, but it seems to fall into the opposite of a certain attitude submissive and peace activist, that the approaching Utopianism liberal-Masonic Rousseau and enlightened matrix, that ignores the fact that original sin has left humanity in fact a tendency to injustice and violence, which can not be neutralized if not with a moderate use of force, in defense of the weak and the oppressed. This is also the current Code of Canon Law reminds us that "Innate and proper right to be delinquent in penal sanctions to coerce » ["The Church has an innate and proper right to coerce criminal penalties the faithful who have committed crimes"] [can. 1311].

.

l'opera at Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, signed with the pseudonym Lewis Carroll

Father Antonio Spadaro seems to solve the action of the Church in the world for justice and peace in a simple quiet work of "integration" and "diplomacy", forgetting that, as the Book of Revelation teaches, to the Church, pastors and lay, each in its place, They extend even to the Test, the struggle and suffering, Why, If ever the Church meet the ASSECONDERANNO forces and will be ready to cooperate, always will encounter enemies irreducible. Father Antonio Spadaro seems to imagine a world on the type of Alice in Wonderland, It composed only of men of good will and well-wishers, do not expect anything but to hear the Word of God and be guided by the Church to the Kingdom of God. It is the world that imagines Rahner, where men are defined by the "transcendental orientation to God", and from the possession of grace.

.

Unfortunately, things are not exactly so. We are no longer the earthly paradise. In the world operate sin, death and Satan. "The whole world is under the power of the evil one" [The Gv 5,19], that of Christ and of God just do not want it. What can be done then, The "integration" and "diplomacy" by themselves? At best, take us around by cunning and by profiteers. I fear that even Father Antonio Spadaro, similarly to his Superior General Father Arturo Sosa, It is not too convinced of the action of the devil in the world. These utopians who live outside of reality seem to conceive the preaching of the Gospel as advertising a new car to do better in the mountains or in the Black Sea.

.

the letters of St. Caterina da Siena to the Pope at the Avignon Court

The Kingdom of God is gained through a "violence" [Mt 11,12], that has nothing hatred, if not with hatred for sin, but is dictated by means courage and strength and liberating; but you can not down here establish justice and peace without the use of force and victory over the enemies of justice and peace [GV 18,36]. Being meek does not mean being cowardly. In God and righteous man's mercy does not exclude the severity. Essays were the Romans, when they said: «If you want peace, prepare for war » ["If you want peace, prepare for war ']. As said Virgilio: «spare and to subdue» ["Save submissive and bring down the proud ']. Because Christ said that he came to bring a sword? [Mt 10,34], if not because he is the Prince of Peace? And who said "he has put down the mighty from their thrones" [LC 1,52]?

.

This is the Gospel.

.

A Church cowardly and springs, with twisted neck, servant of the powerful, fleeing from the clash with the world, It can not be light of the world, salt of the earth and liberating and pacifying force. A Church opportunist who likes the world, He can not please Christ, who won the world. Christ certainly overcomes the world with the cross, but the enemy of the cross can only be won by force.

The editors of The Island of Patmos met in Villa Imelda in San Lazzaro (Bologna). Left Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, to the center Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, Right Jorge Facio Lince

L’Patmos Island It was born on 20 October 2014 under the auspices of Blessed Apostolo Giovanni that on this island - known for this as site of the last revelation —, wrote the Book of Revelation. At that time we had a counter exterior, then reset to a technical problem. So the creator and curator of the site, Manuela Luzzardi, installò a engine Internal by starting the daily count of visits from the date of 15 February 2015.

SR. Matilde Nicoletti the Dominican Congregation of the Beata Imelda, for years collaborator of Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, and the young Dr.. Jorge Facio Lynx, a pupil and collaborator of years Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo

Progressively The Island of Patmos it is equipped with the best professional services, the first of which was the Server business to allow unrestricted access of visitors. Indeed, the number of the growing increase in visits since the early 2015, often it involved the website blocking, When connected persons were numerous and when sforavamo than the number of visits allowed by that service, reached a number, blocking the view to the beginning of the month.

.

This the reason for which, several times, we turned to the readers pointing out that nothing is for free on the internet but everything is paid when you work in a certain way by taking advantage of certain services.

.

The maintenance of the site de The Island of Patmos It has gradually become more and more expensive due to the acquisition of a range of professional services that renew every year for a total amount in 2016 It amounted to 5.200 Euro, not counting other kinds of charges always related to our journalistic and editorial activities.

.

Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, Matilde Nicoletti and Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo

A European statistical level The Island of Patmos It is among the first 10 most visited Catholic sites. Numerous sites and magazines, including specialist, that over and over again and have embraced the theological and ecclesiastical issues often thorny treated by the Fathers de The Island of Patmos, without having neither the decency nor the nobility to make the necessary calls, or by passing the whole as flour sack them. However, if on one hand it is the date of our publication, often very certain antecedent cheerful appropriations, the other is just as obvious incorrectness of these subjects on which we have always done an amused smile. You want a single example, only one among many? Well, go read this article that dates back to 16 December 2016, written not by a secular praticone that when the evening back to her home or when to stop damage via internet, closes the door or the computer and no one can scratch it in any way; Today reread this article written by a priest subject in all respects to the full jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Authority, with all that it could result in prices to be paid sometimes for life. Without this, then verified as the harsh and stringent analysis imprinted in one written, Today are the subject of widespread discussion and especially to a growing discontent that pervades both the People of God is the civil society of unbelievers, for example about the supreme worship real or alleged refugees and migrants inaugurated with this pontificate. And we limit ourselves, as we said, only in this example, among the many, while today, journalists and analysts, they shout “eureka !” to have finally discovered the hot water, using our arguments happily without us - which incidentally we have not really needed, as evidenced by our readers numbers -, any necessary reminder, especially when they cite as their all how many of our sentences and expressions, foolishly unaware that Father Giovanni Cavalcoli one hand, Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo on the other hand, They have among other things one figuratively and unmistakable style lexical, besides not being properly two strangers [Article invoked in these lines is readable WHO].

.

Yet until today we could not find one sponsor who supported our expenses in exchange for advertising space that would be displayed daily by tens of thousands of visitors. When you are presented some possibilities we have to reject them, because we were getting those problems better known as “gags”. Indeed, before some of our writings and critical analysis as flawless as incontestable, the friends of friends They would react relying on sponsor, linked directly or indirectly to certain groups, people or so-called roped. And of this we have had immediate wise when an entrepreneur, well disposed towards us, he began by saying: "But I am bound to the group of […], so it would be necessary that you mitigaste tones and critical of certain things " …

.

Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p. and Sr. Matilde Nicoletti

… and when the Father Ariel, donning the candor of St. Agnes with white sheepskin in hand, complete with wide open eyes and eyelashes beat, Enlightenment asked on what he meant by "mitigating tones and criticism ', It was clearly told that we should not have any direct criticism of Lefebvre and all the groups that were circulating around them, including blogs and magazines grappled for years in the spread of heresies of Bishop Marcel Lefebvre and his current supporters. Said in other words: it sponsor tried to buy our silence for the benefit of those Catholics increasingly incattiviti and depressed that behind the world of so-called improperly and said “traditionalism”, they built their lucrative market of public visibility, of books, of publications, conferences and so to follow, foraggiati of money both by wealthy Italian entrepreneurs and especially by members of the American ultra right, because with the sale of books is both in print magazines, They are not even able to recover only the expenses of printing. If in fact the strings of the modernists are served hand and foot with all the money they need, so I am the so-called and said improperly “traditionalists” belonging to the currents and related Lefebvrist. We instead we are not on the payroll or the one nor the other, we have to do solely and exclusively rely on the support of readers, that have supported us up to now, despite our many difficulties, past and present, not hesitating to admit I always walk a tightrope and periodic fear of not being able to do it for lack of funds.

.

Twice we run the risk of closing, it not been for a single benefactor who live on the banks of a beautiful lake and has pulled us out of the waters as we were running the risk of drowning us in a different kind of lake, eared.

Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p. e Ariel S. Levi Gualdo in Varazze Dominican Convent while shooting video lessons recorded for de Readers The Island of Patmos

The satisfactions collected for our apostolic work are not counted, and every day I thank God, among the many we mention one: several priests, especially Italian and Polish, every month they send small sums of money to support us, in the order of a few tens of euro each. More than a decisive help, it is a great moral satisfaction. Or to put it, at times dry and hard the Father Ariel:

.

"The priests, since the first months of most holy seminar, learn to ask, but not to give. E, when they give, if so they give what after all does not cost them anything, from many useless advice and often even required rigor. But, immediately, develop the ability to ask, ask, ask … In short, pull a penny out of the pockets of a priest is firm almost always destined to total failure ".

.

Vor understand well what is important for us also to be supported by many priests. And the priests, every month, There also should send only 10 Euros in support of offer The Island of Patmos, more than a success for us is something as unexpected as it is extraordinary, especially if you placed the Father's premises Ariel, it will often be hard and severe, but not devoid of deep contact with what is the world of real ecclesial and ecclesiastical.

.

Varazze, May 2017, the filming of the video lessons of Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p.

From the 15 February 2015 to date 16 July 2017, in two years and five months The Island of Patmos He scored ten million visits.

.

For a month now we decided to put at the bottom of each of our product an invitation to the many readers to remember us, because the invitation "You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free" [GV 8,32], It must be followed by the realization that the truth, to be announced and broadcast, It needs means, also and above all economic. The same Word of God, Christ the Lord, to carry out his preaching, He needed to be supported; and in that sense it was supported by wealthy Gentile converts, from wealthy Jews who believed in his announcement, by wealthy widows who supported Him and His Apostles.

.

… what they can do “irrational” a Dominican friar and priest, a member of the secular clergy priest after celebrating Mass on Sunday? Going to take a … cappuccino, and of course to stop and talk about the latest theological fantasy shoot of Father Raniero Cantalamessa … [see WHO]

This is the real world: the truth coast, in all directions, and every man of faith who believe in it and believes that some people are good and faithful preachers, is called to uphold the truth is one who announces and spreads, so very special in today's ecclesial and ecclesiastical world in which, more than the good theology now been lost for decades, They are losing the basic fundamentals of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, while the People of God are increasingly disoriented, and the few good priests and there are often extremely difficult to find at least one confrere who can support them humanely, morally and spiritually, a good spiritual director and a good confessor.

.

To sustain The Island of Patmos it means much more than supporting some congregation of lay people who are improvised from evening to morning historians of the Church, canonists, dogmatic and ecclesiologists theologians; It means supporting first two priests who for years have confessors, spiritual directors and counselors of many priests increasingly lost and in trouble. Other than the work often devastating, almost always politician and above all dividing and destructive, He brought forward by many praticoni lay, none of which, at least at the present time, He can raise high his hand and say to a priest in a state of profound moral crisis: "I absolve you from your sins …», nor any of them, Two political-ideological formulas, It can be close and spiritually support a priest in a crisis of faith.

.

That's what the concrete reality The Island of Patmos, the first economic support which should come right from the Italian Episcopal Conference, if it was not General Secretary S.It is. Mons. Nunzio Galantine, which increases the disorientation of the clergy by passing on the newspaper of the Italian bishops, Future, Articles that are increasingly an affront and an insult to the deposit of faith and Catholic doctrine. And to mention in this regard only one among many, or rather between too much now on the agenda, just read a recent article by Father Giovanni Cavalcoli, where is explained with all the wonder of the case - given that the Church's doctrine on the Holy Eucharist is not to have been changed -, the authentic anthology of heresies written on Future by a religious priest for the commemoration of the feast of The body of the Lord [see WHO].

THE NEW GOVERNOR OF THE CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH AND WHAT THE CHURCH IS WAITING ON PROBLEM KARL RAHNER

The Church not only acts as a "field hospital". This may suitably operate in minor cases, common or emergency, as ER, or for the treatment of minor injuries or illnesses read; the care of these cases may be referred to the bishops, religious institutes and parishes.

It carefully [II Tm 4,5]

The bishop is able to exhort with sound doctrine

and to refute those who contradict [Tt 1,15]

.

.

il Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller [Finthen 31.12.1947], 69 year old, former Bishop of Regensburg, wanted by Pope Benedict XVI to head the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at which begins its mandate on 2 July 2012. Concluded its first five years, the 2 July 2017, the Supreme Pontiff Francis not confirmed in his role.

As it is now known to all, the Supreme Pontiff chose S.It is. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer as the new Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He is a connoisseur of Karl Rahner thought, as indeed, and even more of him, it was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, that Pope had chosen this Jesuit as Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Now Ratzinger, after being collaborator Rahner at the Council, In the 1982 He published a book on the principles of Catholic theology [1], which he carries a severe criticism at the thought of Rahner accusing him of pantheistic idealism [pag. 179-190, in and. French]. Because of this, we must assume that the new Prefect, as kind to Rahner, especially now that Pope Francis, with great confidence, He entrusted him with the delicate task of supreme collaborator and help the Pope in the conservation and sound doctrine custody, It will be held well away from the serious mistakes of the German Jesuit, accepting which would assume a pipeline that would lead to destruction.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. [Manacor 19 April 1944], 73 year old, He appointed by the Supreme Pontiff Archbishop Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on 9 July 2008, on July 1st 2017 He is appointed by the Supreme Pontiff Francis Prefect of the Congregation

For this we must expect that the new Prefect show us wisely and prudently the way out of the dark forest, "Rough and hard", in which Rahner we kicked in the last fifty years, almost without noticing, given the fascination that he exercises on many, who mistakenly consider the great interpreter of Vatican II [2]. It Will Be, This new Prefect, a thin sieve and discernment, because it will liberate undoubted values ​​from dangerous pitfalls that put them in danger.

We want to train the vote now that S.It is. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer was Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in collaboration with the Holy Father, the Holy Spirit grant him prudence, the courage and wisdom needed to show clearly and definitely to the people of God where the error, why and remedy it and refute it, such benefits drawn from them, how to get rid of it and where is his share of truth, to begin serious reform of theological studies and the training of clergy, in fidelity to St. Thomas Aquinas, as required by Council, and the Magisterium of the Church.

.

An idea of ​​how the new Prefect Currency Rahner's thought we can do it by reading his essay Karl Rahner: Christ in the religions of the world, [cf. WHO] presented at a theological conference under the title The theological legacy of Karl Rahner, organized by the Lateran and published by the Lateran University Press in 2005 [cf. WHO].

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

In this paper the new Prefect highlights positive aspects of Rahner's thought, as the recognition of the supremacy of Christianity over other religions, which he called "absolute religion", and the fact that all religions come at least implicitly or subconsciously in relationship with Christ, without which there is no salvation, Christ offers salvation to all.

The errors Rahner

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer, however, also it contains some erroneous thesis Rahner, that did so much damage done and are doing to the Church, but neglects to refute. Let's take some examples. He quotes without discussing the Rahner's thesis that "in the Old Covenant property is along with what is pleasing to God, what is false and erroneous " [p. 247] e, commenting on these words, even says that "only in the New Testament and in the Church of Christ have a permanent rule of distinction between what is true and what is false" [p. 248].

.

Apart from that already natural reason He can distinguish theological and moral truth from falsehood, a similar survey done in the Old Testament theology and ethics seems decidedly unfair and offensive, and knows a lot of heresy Marcionite, that opposes the true God of the New Testament from the false God of the Old Testament.

.

No one denies that in Ancient Will we have an image of God sometimes frightening and certain penalties and cruel war laws. But it is not difficult to explain these things as signs of a backward civilization, no need to address unfair accusations an Alliance of Israel with God, which is not exceeded by the New as the false from the true it is denied, but as the initial truth is superseded by the final truth, as the light of dawn is overcome by daylight. Christ did not come to abolish, but to complete [cf. Mt 5, 17,19].

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Another thesis Rahner, welcomes that the new Prefect without objections, It is its interpretation of the way in which non-Christian religions can encounter Christ. This mode is an application of the theory of knowledge Rahner, why the man, every man, aprioricamente experiences and divine, God in interior experience he called "transcendental", "Athematic" and "preconceptual", which is followed by the conceptualization or 'categorization' of this experience.

.

According to this theological presupposition Rahner distinguishes an explicit and conscious Christianity Christianity as an implicit and unconscious or preconscious, he calls "anonymous". Christ is revealed to all men, He gives all his grace and saves all men. Only this revelation takes place on two different cognitive levels. For all takes place on the transcendental plane; for some, sul piano categorical. And these are the explicit Christian. Those, however, which only takes place on the transcendental plane, are anonymous Christians [3].

.

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer He quotes the same Rahner: "This transcendental moment of revelation corresponds to the free modification of our transcendental consciousness made supernaturally by God, but this change is actually an original moment and permanent of our consciousness, a kind of original lighting of our existence and, since the time of our transcendence of God consists dall'autocomunicazione, It is already in the proper sense of revelation " [p. 254].

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

We observe that Revelation does not change, but it exceeds and elevates the transcendental consciousness, otherwise it would not be supernatural. Even if it grants that Revelation was a "change of consciousness", it is not an "original enlightenment", but illumination from God, which adds to the natural light after intellect, which one it is the original light of our mind, preceded by the experience sensitive, and so the Revelation, that gives rise to faith, It comes only after the exercise of reason and experience, and as lighting of reason, that rises to the knowledge of the supernatural mystery unknown to reason.

.

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer rahneriano explains the thinking on this point thus: the explicit Christian faith is the "conceptual statement of what the man ', who has not heard the Gospel message, "He has already made or could make in the depth of his spiritual existence" [p. 249]. This would be the transcendental revelation.

.

For Rahner then the universal revelation It is what he calls "transcendental", and the revelation given by Christ to the Church, what he calls "categorical" and that the Church calls "public", He also calls this "particular", almost like what the Church calls "private revelation". Instead we have to say that the true universal revelation, ie public, It is not the revelation of "transcendental", that does not exist except in the mind Rahner, because God, in revealing and speak to the man, It proposes intelligible content of truth to his intellect, content that, by virtue of the nature of the same human intellect, they are expressed in concepts and judgments and then into words. The adult gets those concepts from sense experience; those who are not able to reason, as for example the demented or the embryo, He receives those concepts of God and so all, perhaps unconsciously, They may be a concept of who Christ.

.

Rahner accepts the principle of John that the Logos enlightens everyone, consciously or unconsciously. Which means that the Logos It aims at all, but not all accept Him. Instead Rahner overlooks the fact, noticed by Giovanni, that not all welcome the light, but some prefer the darkness [4]. Rahner thus argues that in fact the divine illumination is universal, everyone welcome, so everyone is saved, which is false, because it goes against the Gospel and the teaching of the Church.

.

It must be said Rahner also that the doctrine of "absolute Savior", S.It is reported by. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer, It is an invention of Rahner, that mixes ibridamente reason with faith, philosophy with the Gospel, self-consciousness with Revelation, nature with grace, natural religion with the supernatural, Christianity with other religions.

.

The existence of an absolute Savior, God-man, we know it only by faith, because this divine Savior is Christ, and not based upon the inexistent "transcendental experience or revelation athematic" Rahner. It is only from the Gospel that we know that God wants to save us by a God-man. It is precisely what the unprecedented originality of the Gospel message. Every religion knows that God exists, that can save us, and that rewards those who love him. Instead, what none of them knows, but that only Christ tells us in the Gospel, is that He and He alone is the Savior of all.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

God indeed, If she wanted to, He could have saved in other ways and by other means: forgiven unconditionally and to our request for forgiveness, or after an appropriate penance or by sacrifices or a revelation made inwardly to each, or with the mediation of simple saints or prophets o angeli.

.

The real easy to know transcendental religious, which it is only at the level of pure reason, It is absolutely not able to know for themselves what path God chose to save us. Therefore this knowledge can not imagine, and is not expecting any "absolute Salvatore", How do you think Rahner, but just know that our salvation comes from God, whatever the concrete path which he has chosen, thereto unknown. This is only the certainty of all other religions, certainty that, however - and here Rahner is right - however the contact with Christ.

.

The Gospel message that speaks of Christ provides us at all, How do you think Rahner, the simple detail, the simple categorization and historical determination, concrete and "special" of a suppository precognition [Anticipation] "Transcendental and original," the "absolute Savior", what Rahner calls "transcendental Christology", that would be common to all religions, and that Christianity is the "anonymous".

.

We observe that the announcement of the Gospel no explicit what is already in pre-contained atematicamente ' "transcendental experience" of all religions, or what other religions darkly, vaguely and implicitly already know, but the announcement of a new unheard, unpredictable and unimaginable, that the world and all the non-Christian religions, including that Jewish, they absolutely ignore. This gospel message is not enlightenment or awareness of a previous human knowledge, but l 'addition a new theological knowledge at all superior to reason, and that can only be a gift from God. It's right here the novelty of the New Testament compared to Ancient.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer It seems not to feel the danger that lurks under Rahner's notion of "divine self" [5], that Rahner is not conceptual, as it taught by God's word [n. 6], but "ontological and entitative" [p. 254]. The other part, one must say that, If God can not communicate his divine being to the creature, It gives but a valuable divine ontological quality, which it is the likeness of Christ's divine nature, that is, the divine sonship; but this is the grace, while the Council, speaking of self-communication, It refers to Revelation.

.

It should be noted that the Divine Being, in its absolute simplicity, transcendence and subsistence, It is absolutely imparticipable and therefore incommunicable. San Pietro is, for its part, says man, by grazia, becomes "cooperative" [koinonòs] the divine nature cf. [Pt II 1,4], this means that he receives a supernatural gift from God, precisely the grace, that, in Christ, It makes it similar to God.

.

The divine being, It is absolutely simple, It can not be received in part from the creature and much less can be received wholly in an absurd "ontological self-communication", which, if anything, It takes place within the Holy Trinity, for which, eg God the Father tells the Son his own divinity [God from]. But the Father can not communicate Himself as Father to Son, because the Father is the Son Distinguished.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

The being of grace is a being by participation, It is a created being. Only the divine being is essentially Being [The very being of God by itself, subsisting]. However the essence of grace is divine. Grace, however, is not God, but it is a divine gift created, an accident or quality of the soul: for this grace can be destroyed by mortal sin. If grace is God, it would be like God incorruptible. And this is consistent Rahner, when he says that grace can never be lost ["Permanent existential"]. But if grace is God, avremmo il pantheism, and the man would be God.

.

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer cites not even argue the doctrine Rahner, according to which the hypostatic union would be nothing but the supreme summit of Revelation, Rahner who identifies with grace: "The history of revelation has its absolute summit, when God's self to reality spiritual creature of Jesus through the hypostatic union that takes place in the incarnation of God reached in view of this reality, and with it the benefit of all its unsurpassed summit " [p. 254].

.

We have to say two things: first, that the hypostatic union is not a gnoseologic act alleging Revelation, but an ontological act relating to the divinity of Christ. So here is not about the divine self-revealing, of which the Council speaks, but the hypostatic union is the effect of the assumption of the human nature of Christ by the person of the Word.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Hence the second thing. The hypostatic union is not the vertex of one upward previous development, but it is the effect of a free act of God, It presupposes that nothing before itself, if not the eternal Word What it produced. Divine revelation certainly has a historical development narrated by Scripture, but it has nothing to do with the hypostatic union, which, as I said, It belongs to the ontological, not to the intentional or conceptual. Ma, as is known, Rahner identifies idealistically being with knowing.

.

So also the hypostatic union It has nothing to do with the summit of a supposed "human transcendence», in the sense rahneriano, it also vitiated pantheistic idealism. Man transcends yes same to tend to God; but God is not the '' horizon of human transcendence ", come dice Rahner, but it is one who transcends the horizon of man. The man rises to God, but it does not become God. God took the man, but it does not become man.

.

Some observations

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Before. S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer, in presenting the thought of Rahner, It seems to stop at a mere exposure, well done the rest. Which is not prohibited. Ma, touching certain errors, one may ask why does not refute them. The physician should not be limited to a correct description of the disease, but must provide specific effective cure, after first diagnosed with the disease.

.

Second. The interpretation made by S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer rahneriano of thinking is too benevolent. He just puts some question marks. This method certainly has a value, but it gives evidence of ingenuity, does not show the pitfalls, makes you feel a lack of insight and critical supervision.

.

The experienced mountain guide It must show the dangers of the inexperienced tourist path, who faces a risky path. If everyone enough for themselves the care for your health, that it would need the doctors? If any good layman could do for itself to save his soul, that we would need the theologian, the bishop and the Pope? He would reason Luther, which he abolished the Catholic Hierarchy.

.

Third. The excessive benevolence of judgments S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer against Rahner raises fears that he has not understood and thoroughly enough the roots of thought rahneriano, now analyzed by time, such as the Father Cornelio Fabro, and therefore does not realize sufficiently serious mistakes metaphysical, gnoseologici, anthropological and moral Rahner.

.

An essential feature of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith he is to warn the faithful, in help and on behalf of the Pope, the most dangerous errors not easily diagnosable, by placing them in light and correcting. And it is precisely here that the problem lies Rahner. At the direction of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer will have plenty of time to fill these gaps, which, they were tolerated in his past, they will not be more now.

.

The reform of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

In conclusion, we say that the task ahead S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer is complex, risky and difficult, but we are confident that God will give light and strength in helping the Holy Father and to serve the Church.

.

We must confess with all confidence, knowledge of the facts, after fifty years of studies on this topic, that the reform of study and formation of the clergy promoted by the Council has been misunderstood and poorly implemented, so that today we do not reform, but a distortion of the true intentions of the Council, which he had recommended St. Thomas as a guide of studies, although certainly not according to the pre-reconcile a thomism too controversial form towards modernity, but a critically Thomism and evangelically open to the values ​​of modernity, according to the example of Jacques Maritain, recommended by St. Giovanni Paolo II in the encyclical Faith and Reason.

.

Wanting to replace Karl Rahner to St. Thomas Aquinas It was a serious mistake, the consequences of which we see today in the doctrinal and moral chaos - what is already in 1974 Fabro called "upheaval"[6], of which we are suffering, which is said and I repeat, all without having to disregard the merits Rahner, which S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer mentions in his essay.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

For this huge task It will require a strengthening of the staff of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to make more specialized and more competent in relation to the various theological disciplines to be used in the interventions to be undertaken and proportionate to the extent of the issues to be resolved, ridding it of tasks beyond his competence, such as the prosecution of the crime of pedophilia, that this task, In the case, It may suitably be committed to the Congregation for the Clergy or civil judiciary.

.

The Church does not work only as a "field hospital". This may suitably operate in minor cases, common or emergency, as ER, or for the treatment of minor injuries or illnesses read; the care of these cases may be referred to the bishops, religious institutes and parishes. But for the heresies most dangerous and widespread clinical need of highly specialized spirit, on the model, to make a comparison in the medical field, the specialized institutions of the complex and wide Orsola hospital in Bologna. Here we have the role of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which has to deal with the most serious heresies, the most common and most difficult to diagnose and treatable, combining and alternating between justice and mercy, depending on the need. If it's important body care, far more important is the health of the soul.

the old liberal-masonic satire on Blessed Pope Pius IX

Criticizing the Roman Pontiff can, It can sometimes be of help to his own high office, but first you need to know Peter and know first who is Peter.

.

Without going back centuries, anyone can ascertain how sometimes even fierce, aggressive and insulting the Supreme Pontiffs have been criticized, especially where free criticism was actually a pretext to launch violent attacks on the papacy, species by the Masonry, that yesterday indicated the Blessed Pius IX as "scumbag" and the Pope Leo XIII as "rotten bone»; the same Masonry which today praising the Pope Francis I as a "great revolutionary Pope».

.

the old liberal-Masonic satire on the Holy Pontiff Pius X

Time ago, Fathers de The Island of Patmos, between the lines of their articles [see WHO, WHO] They expressed that the Pope Francis I is not criticized, as in many of his predecessors Augusti, the magisterium, or those that until 1870 were political choices, but marginal attitudes; It is criticized its tendency to ambiguity, or silenced at times - and this is respectfully acknowledged - of some truths of faith, almost as if on pernicious influence of Cardinal Walter Kasper was afraid to irritate the Lutheran heretics.

.

Freemasonry, after two centuries of fierce anti-clericalism and anti-popery, Today praises' Papa Francesco revolutionary " [cf. WHO]

The Holy Father Francis It was not the first to "break all the schemes', as he loves to praise The secular press and the Masonic. Because if we take two figures of Popes who "broke the mold" - to use this term very much journalistic and improper, why not theological or ecclesiological -, take for example the one hand Blessed Pius IX, on the other hand Saint Giovanni Paolo II. Even these pontiffs they said in their own way their own "good evening" to the first overlook, but then, the consequences of that "good evening", They have been able to manage them for life, especially in very complex situations and troubled, before which he procured the most ferocious and aggressive criticism of his world to have said if necessary a dry “and” and a dry “no” [to open the video click below …]

the little Charlie Gard – to open the video click on the image

The Friedrich Nietzsche sentence reported in the title is taken from his work The Gay Science, to read it entirely in the Italian translation, just open WHO

.

That said I note - as I wrote in my book 2011 which will shortly be reprinted -, that the late nineteenth century, the sharp mind of Nietzsche had already realized that the decisive attack to Christianity could not be based on truth but on that of Christian morality.

.

Often I love to talk about the "unnatural death", to which it tends to give other names and to indicate it in any other way: "... failed ... disappeared ... it was off ... no more ..." and various other euphemisms, but not to use that word natural that in its own way cries for its intimate "unnaturalness": death. All this in a society where fewer people, before death, have the courage to say : "Is dead".

.

Death is in his unnaturally because it is not within the projects of nature created by God; is the work of the devil that caused Adam and Eve to rebel against the Creator [cf. Gen 1,3]. It is in fact through the original sin that death entered the world as a result of that rebellion that breaks the balance of the divine harmony created. He explains the Blessed Apostolo Paolo in his epistle:

.

[…] as through one man sin entered the world and by sin death, and so death passed upon all men, because all sinned […] How, then, for the fault of a single one it was upon all men to condemnation, so also through the work of justice of one it pours upon all men to justification of life. Similarly, as for the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous [RM 5, 12-18].

.

Often I have wondered whether the refusal of death and suffering, It does not depend in part on the fact that in our most ancient human memory remains alive deep in the memory, although in many unaware, when we were immortal and free from death as a consequence of original sin.

.

A silent on that little Christ on earth Charlie Gard, which is likely to be killed so that Europe atheist can exorcise their fear of death, sacrifice on the cross of modern atheism a Lamb of God, They are not simply been "priests" and "bishops", as many Catholics and non-Catholics have complained in recent days around various blogs, telematic magazines and newspapers in print; to keep quiet about this little lamb on the cross were "certain" priests ... "certain" bishops ...

.

... if you want to explain you what, indicating that under this pontificate in a particular way, these subjects with a bad idea to say the least erroneous life, family and moral, are all thrown into a gallop to the Church leaders.

.

A silent were those bishops and priests that year after year have been deformed into the Blessed seminar, without the inside of the filthy forecourt anyone noticing, the bishop first and follow with the rector and spiritual fathers, that a number of candidates to the priesthood came from completely dysfunctional families. None of these pundits made by the bishops to do damage inside pretify, ever cared that a person born, raised and educated in a non-Christian family, which is affected as such by all the worst moral aberrations of this world and that he lives as if evil was actually good and good were rather shy away from evil, forever and the penalty will become a bad priest. At one of these parties can lay hands on the head a hundred times, rovesciargli on the palms around the pitcher of the sacred chrism consecrated by the bishop during the Chrism Mass, you can send him to the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Biblical Institute, do specialize, dottorare and finally return to the diocese with the great intellectual aura, without, however, succeed, as a priest and as a pseudo-theologian or biblical scholar, to understand that the family is the domestic church, that the first and indispensable teacher of Christian life is the family. And who has not had a Christian home and of Christian parents, before entering a seminary must be enabled to acquire and develop over the course of a long process of years, all those values ​​and the education that only a Christian home and of Christian parents can take and transmit. If not then we find ourselves in front of priests lacking in fundamentals of Christianity that invite to speak in theological studies of atheist philosophers, of supporters of the gender and sociologists who consider abortion an achievement of great social importance and civic. And since they have never overcome the trauma of the divorce of the parents and especially their fine deeds of the father and mother, made of selfishness and betrayal various, many of them are sfogheranno pouring nastiness of whole presbyteries, where will the image of a father and a mother on whom to pour destructive revenge. Not to mention the catastrophic damage that they will do if put in the role of trainers, of teachers, or worse … of bishops!

.

Land sacred ordinations of these subjects, They are often swarming with parents pluridivorziati, of brothers and sisters living with their latest lover or mistress on duty, that after the solemn sacred rite, between a glass of Champagne and a sandwich, tell to the guests that they are not believers, But respect the choices of others. Over the last few years, to such obscene orders, During the refreshments they felt fathers, mothers and sisters who barely knew to make the sign of the cross, begin with Christian expressions of "high culture" of the kind ... "in the Church now things are revolutionizing, thanks to that big that Papa Francesco, that now open to divorced couples, have gay, all'aborto, all'eutanasia ... ". Needless to say, and remember that the Pope Francis I, never open to any of this, but the anti-Christian relatives of the newly-ordained priest, But we really believe. Indeed, if anything, is also convinced that their son, brother or cousin, He has entered the large multinational Roman Catholic Church, just the right time, just when things are "revolutionizing".

.

This beautiful clergy came out in recent years by our holy seminars, to those elements amounts? Try to ask that authentic man of God and holy pastor in charge of souls, this has always been the Cardinale Beniamino Stella, Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, because he numbers for all cases, We just know how to count …

.

Since elements of this kind, how can we expect of words and decided necessarily hard on the poor Christ on the cross Charlie Gard? And once again I repeat: Giovanni Paolo II was proclaimed a saint, but his holy teaching, in so few years away, It is nothing left? Because this seems unfortunately to show in its own way the contemporary clergy, but alas the same Augusto reigning Pontiff, who has competed in recent days in many variants speeches by insults against the mafia and corrupt, for which the study even an appropriate decree of excommunication [cf. WHO], until the trade union and political speeches on "new social pact" [cf. WHO]. Obviously he is looking well from appointing that extraordinary monument that is the Social Doctrine of the Church, from the Of the new things of Pope Leo XIII [cf. WHO] up to Centennial year of the Holy Pontiff John Paul II [cf. WHO].

.

This summer I am as always in Sicily, and in truth I must tell you that the supreme dome mammasantissima until the last picciotti Of Cosa Nostra, including those in the shadow of the bell handle barrel of tens of millions of euro on great carnival the Feast of St. Agatha in Catania and Santa Rosalia in Palermo, all of the criminals live in anguish and dread the idea to be notified of a bull of excommunication by the registrars bishop. I dare not even imagine that in poured concrete would end a gay chancellor sculettante who presented them with a falsetto voice to notify him that the bishop has excommunicated them as mobsters and corrupt, because if there's one thing the mafia never would respect, I am certain priests-donnetta that abound especially in Southern Italy. I priests-donnetta They are indeed as numerous as useful to the mafia, who know all the worst moral vices hidden priests, the better to keep it whole dioceses blackmailed, because before any serious and decided sigh against the Mafia, their leaders would literally explode entire septic tanks; and to recover from the flood of the magma that drowning whole priests, some dioceses should work for decades and decades in an effort to rebuild a glimmer of credibility, finally admitted that they succeed. But if the Holy Father Francis wanted to summon, I can explain to you what are the Italian mafia and especially under what moral and financial blackmail keep the local Churches of Southern Italy; and I explain it to him much better than I could ever explain an anti-mafia entrepreneur to five star luxury like don Luigi Ciotti.

.

But, the Holy Father Francis, after so many thunders against the Mafia and many heartfelt words on "new social pact", dedicated a Tweet which recites:

.

"Defending human life, especially when it is hit by the disease, is a commitment of love that God entrusts to every man '.

Not even the deserved dignity of the name, It was given to him at, even though a name has it: Charlie Gard. Worse de The Unnamed of the Betrothed. So I still go back to ask: because it was proclaimed a saint Giovanni Paolo II? because he were titrated many churches around the world, Why? Or maybe that the Saints only be used to produce stable, for these days to stay more and more empty of faith and faithful?

.

While the carpenter He had already prepared the cross for the little Lamb of God Charlie Gard, His Holiness talked about ... 'new social contract' labor and union, while the secular printing extollers chanted live the revolutionary Francisco now excommunicate mobsters and corrupt, finally putting in the knee Camorra, the N'drangheta e Cosa Nostra. Imagine, to defeat the Mafia there is not even able Fascism in two decades with a clever man and gifted as the prefect Cesare Mori, said no coincidence that the Iron Prefect, but surely he will succeed Pope Francis with the power of excommunication, or rather sending a hundred Swiss guards with halberds in aid to the anti-mafia police.

.

Obviously I avoid saying with who, the visible Church, It is likely to do - if not worse to have already made - a terrible pact. And I guarantee that your "social pact", I did not do it with the Unions, but with another terrible person spoken of in the Book of Revelation, what “certi” bishops and “certi” Priests, however, consider only a legendary allegory.

.

On the little Lamb of God Charlie Gard, They have been silent bishops and priests of the latest generation, many of whom have not had a family as domestic Church. They silenced those bishops and priests, for which there is the absoluteness of faith, which means theological absoluteness of Christ beginning, center and goal of our entire humanism, resulting from which other related absoluteness both to human life and to the family; and these absolutes, I'm a theological term never to be confused with the socio-political absolutism, constitute the heart of those non-negotiable values ​​that we Catholics will always remain, although the visible Church should decide to toast taralucci and wine with the Master of this world.

.

A silent on the lamb of God Charlie Gard They were then bishops and priests of the "possible", the "likely", the "must be evaluated case by case", obviously “After much discernment”. And these bishops and priests go hand in hand with the worst abuses of this world in which the enemies of life and the family: the ultra secularists, Masons and omosessualisti with their powerful gaystapo, and always take lead as examples and models of borderline cases, as well as rare, so to justify the unjustifiable, namely the destruction of the family, abortion, l'euthanasia, genetic testing …

.

Never leading ordinary cases, because in their diabolical attempt to pass the very satanic standards, always bring as an example the extreme exception, trying to use it so that it can be imposed the rule. I wonder and I ask you: how do, to bring as an example to legitimize abortion, a Brazilian girl of even ten years, He raped and became pregnant by her grandfather? All over the world, how many cases of this kind we know? And indeed, that case, It was so great that he spoke to the press days of the world. The same world press does not talk army little dog in heat that without any scruple of conscience or trouble, before the age of eighteen years of age have already been submitted for the third time to the clinic for an abortion. And since it was Friday, their concern was to ask the killer manufacturer of angels ... "Saturday night, there are no problems if I go to the disco, vero?». Or: "Doctor, when I can take it up with my boyfriend. He understands, what I mean …?».

.

This is the norm of the majority of abortions, not destroyed women who cry for life, absolutely not the exceptional case of the raped child by his grandfather and became pregnant, before which, anyhow, It is not allowable and justifiable abortion, with all due respect to many bishops and priests, that to avoid irritating the world and its terrible Master, at the time they replied softly that must be evaluated case by case, or that the Archbishop of the Diocese of Recife was an exaggerated and inappropriate to excommunicate the whole team who practiced abortion to the girl [see WHO]. Perhaps, If the Archbishop of Recife had instead excommunicated corrupt that exploit the village, that even with only sticks and stones may try to defend themselves or to also make a revolution, which however can not do a fetus in its mother's womb, Today would have been raised to the dignity of cardinal on the recommendation of Cardinal Cláudio Hummes and with a laudatory eulogy of Enzo Bianchi and Alberto Melloni.

.

fromQuite the little Christ on the Cross Charlie Gard, everyone Instead they have been silent, if anything, preferring to speak against the Mafia and the 'new social contract'; and silence was the new generation of bishops and priests without families, without ethics, without morals and finally faithless. Just like one of the last Italian newly consecrated bishops under this pontificate Augusto. During the party, the brother and sister of the new Excellency, one of those needless to say everything poor, refugees and existential peripheries, both divorced and present at the solemn ceremony with their new respective companions, They have missed out with some pride that statement: "At the end, our brother, it ha fatta!». In practice they said: you do not even imagine what we hoped.

.

And one wonders why, between immigrants, refugees and union speeches on "new social pact", someone is likely to send back Christ on the cross once again hiding behind the silence? In conclusion, It would repeat the betrayal by Giuda Iscariota:

.

Dipped the morsel, She took him and gave it to Giuda Iscariota, son of Simon. So what, after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then he said Jesus unto: "What you do, do quickly". No one at the table knew why he said this; Some thought that, Judas had the bag, Jesus was telling him: "Buy what we need for the feast", or that he should give something to the poor. Having received the sop, he immediately went out. And it was night [GV, 13, 26-30].

.

And it was night, the great night of faith …
