The criticism and the gag: crimes of opinion, science fiction or gratuitous insults to the gay community? Let's use common sense in the case of Silvana De Mari and her book withdrawn from distribution by Amazon

THE CRITICISM AND THE FLAG: OFFENSES OF OPINION, FREE SCIENCE FICTION OR INSULTS TO THE GAY COMMUNITY? WE USE COMMON SENSE IN THE CASE OF SILVANA DE MARI AND HER BOOK COLLECTED FROM AMAZON DISTRIBUTION

.

[…] clinical experts consulted following the statements of Doctor Silvana De Mari, they replied that a certain number of women also practiced - sometimes also for socio-cultural reasons - anal sex, something found by several gynecologists and obstetricians, to the point that clinical statistical data are also possessed in this sense. However, it does not appear that the practice of anal sex by women is connected to the pathologies indicated by this specialist regarding homosexual relationships.

I appreciate Silvana De Mari, specialist in general surgery and endoscopy, of which I read the articles on The truth, even if I don't always agree with his analyzes. In fact, I believe that personal appreciation must never turn into a-critical veneration. When we esteem a person, it is a must to maintain clarity in the face of his positions, without losing the critical and analytical sense. This without disdaining the sacred fire of passion in a personality, positive element if wisely channeled, because excesses of passion can produce more problems than good.

.

Some positions of the thought of Doctor Silvana De Mari which concern questions of sexual morality, as is the case with homosexuality and its physical expression, they need a surplus of prudence not only in the medical field but also in that multidisciplinarity that makes medicine dialogue with Catholic morality and pastoral. And I say this not so much in reference to the subjects directly concerned - people with homoaffective orientations and attitudes - but in reference to the sexual practices and lifestyles that homosexuality carries with it.

.

Leaving with excessive passion in dealing with such delicate issues, as any young newspaper columnist would do, more than professionally risky, it is also ethically risky if the speaker is a doctor, therefore a man of science who, through observation and clinical studies, should provide documented data, also underlining the possible dark sides of the issue and the deadlocks. The latest storm that affected Silvana De Mari concerns her book Let's not get gagged, recently censored by Amazon in the distribution network online. The publishing house Faith&Culture with whom this author published her book, expressed solidarity with this stance through a press release from the publisher Giovanni Zenone:

.

«On Friday we received an email from Amazon saying that our book was written by Silvana De Mari, Let's not get gagged, was removed from sale in both ebook and print as it violates Amazon's guidelines (essentially because it tells the truth about the medical consequences of sodomitic practice)» [cf.. WHO].

.

This Publisher who today complains about censorship and martyrdom perhaps at the gates, should think of our Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, than in the public domain, national editorial and television is not all that unknown. As a priest and theologian he has addressed issues related to homosexuality and the LGBT world several times, I also speak to more live broadcasts with some well-known exponents of this world, using, where necessary, a lot of severity and decision in supporting the foundations and Catholic moral doctrine, certainly not his personal opinions. In the episode of Straight and Reverse of 8 October 2020 the Honorable Alessandro Zan contested regarding the bill on transomophobia. Days ago, in one of his articles published in our magazine on 17 March [cf.. WHO], referring to his friend Paolo Poli - to whom it is clear from the lines how fond he was -, using a language that is not spicy or foul but literary and theatrical, made various ironic references to "fags", term now listed - rightly - in that sequence of insults for which any gay can take legal action, asking for and obtaining the almost certain condemnation of those who have publicly insulted him as a natural person, or the entire gay community. But it is precisely here that something does not add up: Father Ariel has always criticized LGBT lobbies, is opposed to the media riots of homosexualism, to the Gay Pride that parade in Rome in front of the most ancient symbolic places of Christianity and has always been opposed to all attempts at forced imposition of the theory of gender. He also wrote all this in his books published by our Editions, which are not only distributed by Amazon, they are also printed in the two European printing works located in Poland and England. So we "depend" on the excellent Amazon service, to which we are affiliated as editions, not just for sale online, but also for printing and distribution. For this the Publisher of Faith&Culture who complains about censorship on the one hand is perhaps a martyrdom at the gates on the other, he should be wondering: why Father Ariel's books have never had any problems? Above all, because he has never been sued by LGBT associations, despite having even made his debut on a live television, the 31 October 2019, affirming in front of several cases of truly extreme homosexuality: “Tonight it seems to be at the little queer theater!». Clearly humorous hyperbolic expression with which even the exponents of the same LGBT world laughed. Because, exponents of the LGBT world, in this priest and theologian they see a "rival" who expresses the thought of Catholic doctrine and morals and carries forward the ideas based on them, while in the specialist doctor Silvana De Mari they see a person who has insulted the whole of their community? This would be the question to ask and to answer, whereas the criminal judge of the Court of Turin Melania Eugenia Cafiero clarifies in the reasoning of the sentence that the accused was sentenced for the following sentence written on her blog: "The LGBT movement wants to annihilate freedom of opinion and is spreading pedophilia more and more", while the other statements regarding the LGBT community are not punishable because "the right to express one's thoughts is a constitutionally guaranteed right […] Therefore, it is not the thought that is tried but its offensiveness to the juridical property protected in a criminal context ", that is, having associated pedophilia with an identifiable collective subject, the LGBT community.

.

From the Publisher's press release Of Faith&Culture this author's book is presented as politically incorrect and dangerous, therefore deserving of being boycotted and withdrawn from the publishing market, because it states that homoaffective sexual practice from a medical point of view is highly harmful. What's wrong? What falsehoods are asserted? What scientific and medical data have been altered? What truths omitted? Specifically, the summary of the speech carried out by Doctor Silvana De Mari specialist in general surgery and endoscopy on the issue reported in her book is based on a simple observation: homoaffective relationships insist on an anatomically incompatible and risky sexual style in which the active partner exposes the passive to organic stress in the final part of the intestine. Indeed, trauma and a myriad of microlacerations would occur in the delicate walls of the rectum and anal canal due to the passage of the penis not anatomically compatible as it does in the vagina. This would lead to extremely painful conditions and the risk of facilitating the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases [cf.. WHO].

.

There is apparently nothing wrong with that in the medical opinion of this specialist, but what I would like to point out is a generalization of the problem only to the homoaffective sexual sphere and to the only clinical-experiential practice that she has had the opportunity to encounter in her years of activity as a doctor. So if there is a mistake, it consists of an extreme generalization of the problem and a univocity of the experience relating to the cases treated only.

.

I wish to remind the Readers that unnatural behaviors in sexual matters are not the exclusive prerogative of homosexuals but also of heterosexuals. When the Church speaks of sexual relations "in the human way" she is not only referring to a natural complementarity, physiological and anatomical but also functional and relational. All the alternative variants on the theme distort human sexuality which is unique and ordained by God for a specific purpose, leaving out the implications omo and heterodirect, of which a psychological component must also and above all be kept in mind. If for this reason this is the discourse we want to make, we must broaden the range of the discussion, not reduce it, if anything, by analyzing specific cases, as such and not as absolute. The good doctor-specialist should try to imagine how many priests in the exercise of their ministry are faced with women harassed by constant requests for sexual practices alternative from husbands, companions and boyfriends who could sometimes make the most unscrupulous porn actors blush. And all this in silence and general indifference, that justifies and includes everything in the normality of the duties of women towards men. For these poor girls of all ages, the only consolation and outlet in front of these proposals consists in fraternal and frank dialogue with the confessor or with the spiritual father, in order to find a solution to the anguish felt and the feeling of disorder aroused in the soul.

.

However, we must not forget at the same time the existence of a case study that sees the fair sex as the applicant for alternative sexual services from their partners, who, if anything, are very impressed by these requests, because they do not consider sodomy at all as the achievement of an erotic practice but as a serious lack of respect towards the woman. And today we priests find ourselves having to deal with this too: women, especially young people, who ask for certain services and men who refuse them, often being very touched by certain requests.

.

For these and other reasons I believe that the digressions on the use dell’ano multitasking are not subject to scientific investigation in the books of Doctor Silvana De Mari, nor by the censorship of Amazon and the Rainbow people. In fact, these are sexual practices that can concern and deepen in life situations much more common and serious, medically more critical and morally more compromising. In a society like ours that believes it has freed itself from sexual taboos, there is nothing more moralistic than a silence that is silent on the silence of so many poor people who live a daily martyrdom originating from a sexuality not yet understood as liberating and friend of ' man.

.

For the few priests that like us three Fathers de The Island of Patmos they had the precious pleasure of attending the course at their own time audiendas in preparation for the exercise of the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the Apostolic Penitentiary, he will not be able to escape the example and recommendations of the moralist saint Alfonso Maria de 'Liguori. At the time of the holy bishop of Pagani, the last section of the intestine was postponed, in the widespread ignorance of the people rough, to the intercourse between man and animal and vice versa. But for us evolved men, ethero or LGBT, l’ano multitasking he studied in depth that philosophy of hedonistic pleasure that knows extremely "courageous" practices and to the limit that involve the introduction of objects of various kinds up to the hand, to the fist, to the foot in that extreme practice known as fisting. Why not address all these alternative sexual realities and their medical and moral implications in an all-encompassing scientific discourse.? Why focus only on the homosexual sphere and not also deal with the heterosexual one? In fact, we would like to know from this woman of science in which clinical cases she treated, among the homosexual population, more and clearly self-evident clinical evidence was observed regarding the pathological events described compared to those present among heterosexuals? Otherwise you risk falling into humor and resorting to hilarious explanations such as those given in an ironic and joking tone by a cultured and intelligent gay friend of us Fathers of The Island of Patmos, who once discussing the practice of anal sex began by saying: “Women are not allowed, never! For them it is against nature ".

.

Not all specialists in internal medicine and gastroenterology and urology, including several Catholics, they agree with colleague Silvana De Mari. Affirm as a member of the medical profession that homosexuals, for their lifestyle, they represent a category exposed and more subject to certain diseases and even to certain cancers, including colorectal cancer, all without bringing any scientific evidence and least of all documented statistics, it's really risky and risky, other than censorship and gags.

.

In this regard the clinical experts experts consulted during this procedure following the statements made by Doctor Silvana De Mari and the complaints that ensued, they replied that a certain number of women also practiced - sometimes also for socio-cultural reasons - anal sex, something found by several gynecologists and obstetricians, to the point that clinical statistical data are also possessed in this sense, even linked to this practice in relation to the different geographical regions of Italy. However, it does not appear that the practice of anal sex by women is linked to the pathologies indicated by this specialist, if anything, there may be cases of infection by both women and men in the absence of adequate prophylaxis and prevention. Therefore, in fact, what he claimed in his publication has not yet been demonstrated with sufficient scientific and statistical clarity. And these mistakes, in civil and criminal matters, inevitably they are paid, if the party affected is the gay lobby on the susceptibility of which we can not even discuss, rather, give it as an established fact, but at the same time we must avoid that the same is pointed out and hit without motivations and without scientific supports.

.

I personally see the danger to make gay people even more ghettoized, a protected category for pathology, favoring that corporate gap that justifies a victimization that is the generator of reckless laws such as those that are proposed in parliament, I am obviously referring to the Zan-Scalfarotto bill which can seriously risk going to strike the crimes of opinion. Just as Father Ariel said to the Honorable Alessandro Zan at that program of Straight and Reverse of 8 October 2020, certainly not bringing his personal opinions but pointing out that the Italian bishops had raised many perplexities, knowing the consequences produced by similar laws passed in other countries of the world in application of which we have already had more bishops and priests condemned by the courts simply for having said that marriage is such only between a man and a woman and that a child can only be born from a father and a mother.

.

To this speech add the concrete possibility of reading such related pathologies as a divine punishment for a sinful lifestyle. If masturbation once made adolescents go blind, today colon or rectal cancer would perhaps be the consequence of inadequate use of one's intestines.? We realize the extent of such utterances and the laughable consequences that would relegate us Catholics to irrecoverable bigots or sexophobics.?

.

If it is necessary to do criticism and resistance then you have to start from a long and meticulous job, rigorous and with numerous tests on different disciplinary fields, as well as associations ProLife they did to dismantle the lawfulness of abortion. If this approach does not exist or exists in part - because it is I who say it -, the game is facilitated by LGBT organizations that will sue and attack all people with lawsuits such as Doctor Silvana De Mari, with the sole result of endorsing the accusations of homophobia which then in the criminal sphere will find acceptance in sentences that do not affect the faculty of expressing one's thought as a constitutional right but as an offensive intentionality underlying a thought conveyed. This is why I gave the example of Father Ariel and the line adopted by us Fathers of The Island of Patmos in our magazine of ecclesial theology and pastoral updating: our task as priests, theologians and pastors in the care of souls is to condemn sin in a decisive way, but always welcoming the sinner, especially the worst sinners. Then, if with the excuse of welcoming the sinner someone should instead claim the right to sin by passing evil into good, without hesitation we will always answer that sin is not a right and that it can never be accepted.

.

Maybe someone will turn up their nose at these words, but today we must be shrewd and protected in all possible ways. Being martyrs for the Gospel and for the teaching of the Church is a commendable thing, being so for one's own imprudence or passion is a little less so. And I say this by saving all the good intentions that are not immediately knowable. Because of this, to me and my brothers, I am very sorry for Doctor Silvana De Mari, woman who lives on passion but also on undeniable stubbornness, which similarly to other Christian brothers can provoke, with all the good intentions of the case, damage to the weak, the simple and confused of our time.

The right to happiness? There is an abyss between the happiness of the Great Architect of the Universe and the happiness of God

- Church news -

THE RIGHT TO HAPPINESS? BETWEEN THE HAPPINESS OF THE GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE HAPPINESS OF GOD THERE IS AN ABYSS

.

The American Constitution, smelling of Masonic enlightenment and coming into force while in Europe it broke out in 1789 French Revolution, it also includes the right to happiness, complete with a reference to a Creator who, however, resembles the Great Architect of the Universe, rather than to God the Father.

In the fourth week of Lent, when the Sunday in Laetare, also known as Happiness Sunday, I wondered what happiness is, above all what can lead us to its discovery. It is a question that haunts many Christian souls, especially today, when hedonism and materialism are triumphing in the world.

.

The year 2021 was born under the severe burden of the pandemic, with all the social and economic problems that follow. Problems we were filled with before; problems that I fear we will be plagued by again in the future, perhaps for a long time. Enough to complain about the subtraction of the ... "right to happiness".

.

For many today, happiness is knowing if you can go out, enjoy the nightlife and meet up for an aperitif with friends, if it is possible to resume the usual habits, in a life without pain, disease, aging, physical decay and death. In short, the triumph of the world of the unreal, as we have often written and complained the Fathers de The Island of Patmos on these columns of ours. Of course, wanting to know when this nightmare is over and wanting it to end, it's understandable to say the least, less is the rejection of reality, in this society of ours of immortal young people who do not suffer, they do not get sick, they do not age, they do not physically decay and ultimately do not die.

.

For many, happiness is having the latest smartphone, a season ticket in the stands of your favorite team's stadium, or win that girl like she was a trophy, if anything, just for a night of passion. And with this the world of the so-called "three S's" was painted: sex, money and success. For many, happiness is mainly constituted by the liquidity of money with which one can achieve success and have the best sexual satisfactions.. And precisely with regard to liquids, Jerome David Salinger wisely illustrated the substantial difference between happiness and joy:

.

«[…] it is a fact that always appears obvious when it is too late, but the most marked difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid " [The blue period of De Daumier-Smith; in Nine Tales, 1953; Einaudi, 1962, translation of C. Fruttero].

.

The American Constitution, smelling of Masonic enlightenment and coming into force while in Europe it broke out in 1789 French Revolution, it also includes the right to happiness, complete with a reference to a Creator who, however, resembles the Great Architect of the Universe, rather than to God the Father:

.

“All men were created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with some inalienable Rights, which among these are Life, Freedom and the pursuit of Happiness; in order to guarantee these rights, Governments are created among men, who derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; whenever any form of government, it tends to deny these ends, it is the right of the people to modify or destroy it, and create a new government, that it lays its foundations on these principles and organizes its powers in the form that it seems most likely to the people will bring Security and Happiness ".

.

There is much to discuss, on the concept of subjective human happiness changed into positive law, for example wondering how it is possible to raise a subjective or collective emotional state of the person rightly. May man seek happiness understood as physical and psychological well-being, this has always been known. All the more reason we should understand what is meant by happiness on a legal and philosophical level, perhaps the cynical-Socratic virtue or perhaps the suppression of the desire instinct of the Epicurean school? What then the pursuit of happiness both the purpose of human life is a decidedly widespread philosophical position with noble and ancient origins. The question therefore requires understanding, first of all, what happiness is: it is perhaps the stoic and skeptical ataraxia transmitted as a virtue by the Socratic school, or the suppression of the desire of the Epicurean school?

.

All this is in itself something very liquid, while instead the Lord guides us to the discovery of solid happiness, that is born and becomes stable through the encounter with him. Nicodemus, who had a long conversation with him at night, he could indeed experience true happiness in that way. Indeed Jesus, talking to him, he brought back his memory to the biblical events that had formed Jewish culture, recalling him with these words:

.

«How Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be raised up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. In fact, God so loved the world that he gave the only Son so that whoever believes in him would not be lost, but have eternal life " [GV 3, 14-16].

.

Here Jesus mentions the episode present in the Book of Numbers [cf.. 21, 1–10], when the Lord tells Moses that by placing a snake on a pole, the Israelites will always recover from the bites of other poisonous snakes. However, the Lord does not stop at memory. Salvation, eternal healing are present now and now for Nicodemus. Eternal life is offered through faith in the Son of Man, Jesus Christ Son of the Father.

.

The joy of the Trinitarian God you can live even today, it is enough to pass from the memory of the past to the faith of a present penetrated and inhabited by the redemption of Christ. To this, the Lord adds:

.

"It gave, indeed, did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but for the world to be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned; but those who do not believe have already been sentenced, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God " [GV 3, 17-18].

.

The happiness that the Father gives consists, materially, in receiving and giving Charity. In this context, there is no condemnation without appeal. Faith leads to this: make an act of justice and humility in the face of one's sins, weaknesses and errors and ask for the love of the Father in His Son, which will be poured out without limit. Solid joy is escaping the works of darkness and evil, that satisfy the ephemeral desire for revenge. Indeed:

.

«And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, but men loved darkness more than light, because their works were evil. Anyone in fact does evil, He hates the light, and it does not come to light so that its works are not reproved. Instead, whoever does the truth comes towards the light, so that it appears clearly that his works were done in God " [GV 3, 19-21].

.

Solid happiness it is therefore to carry out the works of the Light and to pour out this love of charity. God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, that is, God himself one and three, asks us to donate it to others. Because in these works of mercy we will be closely united with him. This is the great difference between the happiness that comes from God and the false happiness that comes from the Great Architect of the Universe, with all the consequences.

The Church's solemn no to the blessing of the “weddings” gay. I've been telling the gay rainbows for years: don't invent a Jorge Mario Bergoglio man who never existed, because you will be deeply disappointed

- ecclesial news -

THE SOLEMN NO OF THE CHURCH TO THE BLESSING OF GAY "WEDDINGS". I HAVE BEEN TELLING TO THE ARCOBALENISTS GAI FOR YEARS: DON'T INVENT A JORGE MARIO BERGOGLIO MAN WHO HAS NEVER EXISTED, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.

.

The sensationality of this statement is equivalent to announcing as an extraordinary discovery the news - also extremely "sensational" - that Margherita da Cortona, then proclaimed a saint and who knows why patroness of repentant prostitutes, he was not a virgin.

Paolo Poli (Florence 1929 – Rome 2016)

Yesterday he camped "sensational" news on all the media:

.

"The Church does not have the power to give blessings to same-sex couples".

.

Sensationality of this news is tantamount to announcing as an extraordinary discovery the news - also extremely "sensational" - that Margherita of Cortona, then proclaimed a saint and who knows why patroness of repentant prostitutes, he was not a virgin.

.

Comes from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and signed by the prefect of the dicastery, Cardinal Francisco Luis Ladaria Ferrer and by the Archbishop secretary Giacomo Morandi, this explanatory note it ends with the final closing which he recites:

.

«The Supreme Pontiff Francis, during an audience granted to the undersigned Secretary of this Congregation, was informed and gave his consent to the publication of the aforementioned The answer to the problem, with annex Explanatory note».

.

With all the ironic disenchantment of the presbyter and theologian by now experienced, I confess that this explanatory note made me die of laughter. As in their time, two other documents made me laugh, different but similar. The first was the Declaration Lord Jesus which ends with this closure:

.

«The Supreme Pontiff John Paul II, in the audience granted on the day 16 June 2000 to the undersigned Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, with certain knowledge and with his apostolic authority he ratified and confirmed this Declaration, decided in the Plenary Session, and ordered its publication ".

.

The second document that made me laugh for a long time was the Instruction Sacramentum which ends with this closure:

.

«This Instruction, drafted, by order of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II, by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in agreement with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was approved by the Pontiff himself on 19 March 2004, on the solemnity of St. Joseph, who ordered its publication and immediate compliance by all those responsible ".

.

I understand that good readers they may be wondering what makes me laugh at these two important and necessary documents. For this I do not delay any further and I run to their rescue clarifying: if after a few decades from the Second Vatican Council the Church found itself forced to remember in the Lord Jesus the basic foundations of Christology and above all of Christological dogmas; if after a great liturgical reform preceded by decades of detailed and in-depth studies by the Liturgical Movement, she found herself having to remind bishops and priests of the basic foundations of the Most Holy Eucharist, it means that in the whole turbulent post-council season many things did not go the right way. And if today the Church is forced to remind its bishops, presbyters, theologians and laity - alas increasingly ignorant of the very foundations of the Catechism -, those which are the basis of the doctrine and deposit of the Catholic faith, this shows that after the post-council revelry staged by the interpreters who gave life to their staff Council egomenico, many things did not go the right way. And today we are facing a devastating crisis that arises from a crisis of faith that has generated a crisis of doctrine that has produced an unprecedented moral crisis within the clergy. And all this, good to remember, I wrote it over ten years ago in my book And Satan became triune.

.

When it sinks into that irreversible decay I've been talking about for a decade, once the threshold of no return has been passed, back is not possible to go back. This is why I have used the hyperbole of launching from an airplane without a parachute in various of my writings. Because as long as the paratrooper is hovering over the plane's hatch he can retreat, put on a parachute and jump. But, if he decides to launch without, it will not be able to stop in the air, back on the plane, put on parachute again and then jump again. And to those who, faced with this evidence, have tried to escape reality by affirming that "the Church of Christ is governed by the Holy Spirit and that therefore he will take care of it", I have always reiterated that the Holy Spirit is not Merlin the Wizard and cannot subvert the laws of physics to go against the free will of those who have launched without a parachute, because God has never been against the freedom of man in the entire history of humanity, starting from the commission of original sin.

Soon said: the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, with this new document she has once again reminded us for the umpteenth time that our Holy Faith is founded and is based on the incarnation of the Word of God, his redemptive sacrifice on the cross, his resurrection and ascension to heaven, exactly as it did with the Lord Jesus. I ask you: it is right to issue a document to remember these foundations of faith, only because many bishops and presbyters may not know them, until it is necessary to instruct them to do so? I add: and why, under this august pontificate, the most doctrinal and moral priests, we have been seeing them become bishops one after the other for eight years now? And so, at this rate, we should expect the release of other more or less similar documents, where it is declared that the Blessed Virgin Mary was born without stain of original sin and that that of Christ God was a virgin birth; or documents in which it is declared that in the Most Holy Eucharist, God is really present in a substantial way in soul, body and divinity, just like they did with the Sacramentum almost four decades after the great liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council. Other documents could then follow, all resulting from the launch from the aircraft hatch without a parachute. This is why I laugh and invite true believers to laugh, because to the point where we have now reached only the wise irony of faith will save us. Or to put it in other words: Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer and Archbishop Secretary Giacomo Morandi, with the seal of approval of the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, they revealed extraordinary news to the world, destined as such to remain written in history in fire characters, this: Santa Margherita da Cortona was not a virgin.

.

The cold shower of this We can not to the blessing of the gay rainbow couples, comes from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith after years of fires set by the happily reigning Pontiff on the pines of the Mediterranean Macchia, where he enjoyed walking with a petrol can in one hand and a box of matches in the other, in conclusion: professional arsonist stuff. And with his saying and not saying and with his playing on the ambiguous, the Supreme Pontiff hinted at what was not true, but above all what he would not believe and never accept, above all what is not possible for the Church, not being able to exercise powers that Christ has not given us nor being able to change the Holy Gospel to meet the whims of man's rainbows, who is not obliged to be a Christian or to follow the teachings of Catholic doctrine and morals.

.

The International Left, the mass media and powerful LGBT associations have invented a Jorge Mario Bergoglio who never existed and who never can exist, especially as a Roman Pontiff. First, so-called “epochal” openings were invented for the divorced and remarried, then the clearance of homosexualism, the one carried out today by the German Catholic Lutherans headed by Cardinal Reinhard Marx and other figures from the Northern European area, including the confused Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, of which we understand the inner drama: to have suffered from the divorce of their parents and to have had a twin brother known to be homosexual. But these personal events cannot influence him or take away from him reasoning and logical spirit in his delicate role as theologian and bishop., if in him, former member of the Order of Preachers, there remains something of the scholastic formation, logic and metaphysics received from his old Dominican masters.

.

Finally, here we are at the gates with stones: the Church cannot bless «the couples of fags»To whom« we just lacked to give that great fool of the fagot wedding», as my late friend said with theatrical sarcasm Paolo Poli, to which the paternity of the quotation mark reported above belongs. And this last great star of our theater, that he was homosexual even in the spinal cord, making these jokes he was not afraid of being accused of homophobia, because all his life he delighted in making them.

This line of reply does not end the discussion, because there is another one open, I've been talking about it for years, Unfortunately in vain. And I don't tell you the faces, or worse, the silent scenes of all the bishops to whom I raised the question. A show, see the faces with their embarrassed eyes turning in the void. A show worthy of a two-hour monologue by Paolo Poli in the satirical work Caterina de 'Medici.

.

My wise friend, that never in his public life as in the theater did he use the word "homosexual" and much less "gay", he used to say:

.

“Fags have so much trouble accepting themselves, who first pour this non-acceptance complex onto others and then invent enemies. Unfortunately, fags can't live without enemies, that's why they are the greatest makers of imaginary enemies ".

.

Interview with Paolo Poli in a café in Piazza Navona a couple of years before his death, I indelibly remember this sentence of his which froze me and which I would like to reproduce in its entirety, without censorship and without those ellipsis that I know so much of North American Calvinist hypocrisy. In fact, I'm Italian, catholic and priest, if therefore an intellectual tells me "fuck" and I have to report his speech in full, I would feel ridiculous and even more hypocritical to write "c ... o". The interlocutor said "fuck", did not say "c" three dots and final "o". So here is what my dear friend told me verbatim:

.

"Darling dear, believe me: to the absolute majority of queer lobbyists, he doesn't care a damn emeritus of the Church and Catholicism. They want to bring the Church to its knees on all fours, like a poor whore, with your ass in the air and the hole in plain sight ready for use ".

.

Perhaps not even Pietro l'Aretino, before which Giovanni Boccaccio was little more than a schoolgirl, he could have expressed himself in a more incisive way than Paolo Poli, but he was sacrosanct right. With all due respect to our bishops committed to writing "c" three dots "o" at the end, so much do they consider it inconvenient to express and accept a literary "fuck", while another, much material and worse is about to approach behind our mother thrown to the ground on all fours ...

.

In expressing a paradigm with that phrase of such tremendous realism Paolo Poli was prophetic. And now it's my turn, priest and theologian, explain to you that dramatic meaning that our bishops do not want to understand, being too busy writing in the company of Quakers and Puritans: "C" three dots "o" final, in order to avoid the realism of a literary "cock" and the Church on its knees on all fours with the ass in the air and the hole in plain sight ready for use ". To force them into a terrifying bath of realism, soon they will be the lesbian couples who have given birth to a toy baby after having had an abortion once or twice, just ascertained from the amniocentesis that the fetus was a boy, because not only had they decided to have a child, but to have a little girl to be assigned to the wonders of the lesbian world. Our bishops will be literally drowned in realism by the couples of those whom my friend Paolo Poli called with irony rich&ricchioni, that after buying a baby from a rented womb they will show up at the baptismal font more brazen than Satan who tempted the man Jesus in the desert. Perhaps because they are interested in freeing the creature from the stain of original sin? No, because always as the late Paolo Poli told me years ago in that cafeteria, they are interested in putting the Church "[…] kneeling on all fours, like a poor whore, with your ass in the air and the hole in plain sight ready for use ", making sacrilegious use of the Sacrament for this purpose, to turn those baptisms into LGBT lobby dramas, with all the elite of the gay and lesbian world gathered in church together with transsexuals balanced on stilettos. And all of them will come out of the Church together with the unhappy creature declaring: «The Church approves us ... the Church approves us!». This interests him, not Baptism. And with this I described the other problem that the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith will soon have to face..

.

I ask the bishops: how should we their priests behave, when such couples bring these unhappy innocent creatures to baptismal fonts, for the sole purpose of "folding on all fours with our asses in the air and the hole ready for use in plain sight"? How should we get a lesbian or gay couple to issue baptismal promises? Because if I remember correctly, the form is the following: «You renounce Satan ... and all his works ... and all his seductions?». Let me understand, Esteemed Bishops: perhaps we need to ask Satan to renounce himself? Because it was Satan, at the height of his worst seductions and works, to induce two men to come to the real abomination: commission a baby from a rented uterus and then take it to the baptismal font in order to have it won at all costs and wreak havoc on the Sacrament through a public perjury on the foundations of faith, or not? It's still, always if I remember correctly it seems to me that parents are committed to raising and educating their child according to the teachings of the Holy Roman Church. For charity, no pair of parents is perfect, just as we priests are not in our priestly paternity. However, the imperfection of all of us is not at stake, but more: some really believe that two gays or two lesbians can make such a promise during a solemn sacramental action?

.

Since our heroic bishops do not answer these questions, as far as I am concerned, I can answer by following the dictates and imperatives of my Christian and priestly conscience: such couples in church, I wouldn't even let them in, if not to go on his knees in front of the confessional and stand up after having confessed his sins and made a solemn resolution to change his life. At this point some might say: would you perhaps dare to deny baptism to a creature and then feel at peace with your conscience? Of course yes, because my faith teaches me that there are two different means of salvation: ordinary ones, which are the sacraments of grace, which I remember are not available goods, it is no coincidence that the Holy Church is its guardian and dispenser, no mistress. To follow with the extraordinary means of salvation, that God alone knows and can exercise. In fact, it is we who need the sacraments of grace for our salvation, but God no, because to save us he does not need the Sacraments. Therefore I would deny Baptism to that creature in a clear conscience than in the future, reached the age of reason, he could choose a completely different life and ask to be admitted to Holy Baptism and to the Christian community.

.

The bishop could force me to baptize the selfish toy-boy of two gays and two lesbians? My bishop certainly not, because he is a Catholic and a believer. But let us assume that I am under the jurisdiction of another kind of bishop, not at all Catholic and not at all believers, there are quite a few in circulation these days. In addition to refusing, I would not hesitate to invite him to administer baptism, with me assisting in a corner, to see in what tone of voice and with what facial expression, to two men who bought a baby from a rented womb, the bishop will ask: «Renounce Satan ... and all his works ... and all his seductions?». It's still: «… Promise to raise him according to the teachings of the Holy Roman Church?».

.

Using some scurrilous phrase books, however, I was imbued with that elegant theatrical and lexical art of my late friend Paolo Poli, capable of making any swear word not vulgar to the point of transforming it into art and literature, I have come to meet certain new generation bishops, giving them a great anchor of salvation, this: I could not answer on the merits, as is often their style, they will be able to attach themselves to language, to form, to the ... little word, evading the whole question that I have raised. The Pharisees already did this in the time of Our Lord Jesus Christ. They too, like many members of our worldly and secularized episcopate today, they were stuffed with the worst clericalism produced by the post-council of the time. But the Pharisees were serious and above all cultured, Suffice it to say that Shaul of Tarsus came out of their school, later became Paolo, the great Apostle of the Gentiles. Instead, some of our worldly and secularized bishops of the new generation, risk being caricatured, making us caricatures too, their presbyters.

To the point where we have now come, only the wise irony of faith will save us, cheat a reason, an authentic man of faith tells you this, who is not at all afraid of denying access to the church to whom, soon, he will try to make sacrilegious destruction of the Sacraments and public perjury, just to bow to the prince of this world, to which no one can ever command us to bend the knee.

.

“Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but they have no power to kill the soul; rather fear him who has the power to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna " (Mt 10, 28).

.

And now who is it who will have all the necessary and ecclesial manly attributes to explain to the rainbow world that Hell really exists and that it is not a metaphor, that the Devil is a real person and not an allegory?

ANNOUNCEMENTS – The book "Erbe Amare" has been reprinted, unassailable and unattached historical critique of political Zionism that launched Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo as an essayist in 2006

THE "BITING HERBS" BOOK HAS BEEN REPRINTED, UNATTACKABLE AND UNATTACKED HISTORICAL CRITICISM OF POLITICAL ZIONISM THAT LAUNCHED ARIEL S. LEVI by GUALDO AS A SAGGIST IN 2006

For years we have been talking about Judaism without moaning about what it has become: a phenomenon adrift overlaid with religious aura policy. These pages guide the reader on a journey into the archaic world with a compelling style and not without irony, through narratives that break up the figure of the Jew who has become an icon of the oppressed victim

The Shoah it has restored to the Jews the long-lost purity giving birth to a social taboo hebreolatry which prevents the king's nakedness from being told to the square.

.

For years we have been talking about Judaism without moaning about what he has become: a phenomenon adrift overlaid with religious aura policy. These pages guide the reader on a journey into the archaic world with a compelling style and not without irony, through narratives that break up the figure of the Jew who has become an icon of the oppressed victim and revealing dullness and fanaticism that have imposed dangerous equivalences on the world: Judaism equals State of Israel, Zionism equal antisemitism, criticism of a Jewish institution is equal to anti-Semitic aggression to be crushed with the arm of the law …

.

Original defense of Pope Pius XII, through the examination of historical facts that uncover the driving psychology of the locomotive that for decades has been carrying the load of falsehoods aimed at hitting the titanic figure of Eugenio Pacelli. From this articulated and in-depth study built on historical sources, an independent essay was born, which was printed in January 2021 from our editions: Pius XII and the Shoah – Being grateful to those who saved your life is a humiliation that some can't stand.

.

Meditating on a prelude from St. Paul the Apostle the Author concludes that charity is patient and benign, do not despair and do not get angry. Love is therefore a lot of things, including the obedience to the truth. And sometimes the criticism is a sign of charity, if animated by constructive and corrective feelings.

.

the Italian historian Franco Cardini: «[…] that awkward and awkward silence on Ariel S's Amare Herbs. Levi di Gualdo "

Independent historians welcomed Herbs Amare very favorably. The distinguished Italian historian Franco Cardini called it "a very important book, a milestone among the historical monographs of scientific criticism of political Zionism ". In short, a book that he had dared with courage and which for this reason was destined to remain in order to become more relevant over time. Just over a year after publication, Prof.. Franco Cardini wrote in one of his articles the 21 September 2008:

.

«[…] And we think, still, to the embarrassed and embarrassing silence that greeted the book by Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, bitter herbs (2007), a desolate monograph on Zionism that should have instead been greeted by a barrage of attacks and liberating refutations. Because all this did not happen? Because with us certain topics can only come not already discussed, but only silenced or demonized?».

Quantum theory and the miracle of the Eucharist, walking between science and faith in the company of Niel Bohr and St. Thomas Aquinas

- Church news -

THE QUANTUM THEORY AND THE MIRACLE OF THE EUCHARIST, WALKING BETWEEN SCIENCE AND FAITH IN THE COMPANY OF NIEL BOHR AND SAN TOMMASO D’AQUINO

.

God is the God who enters into relationship with us and who listens to us, he sees us, scrutinizes us, it tastes us and touches us. What this happens for us through the miracle of the altar, also called miracle of miracles: the Most Holy Eucharist, in which Jesus Christ is present in the body, blood, soul and divinity. And if it is really present, substantially and truly, in his Eucharistic moment he enters into a relationship with us.

A few days ago, while I was preparing articles, a friend introduced a new discussion on an ancient theme, but always full of reflections: science and faith. I have already spoken about it at various times with reference to the topic of vaccines. My friend gave me a nice article written by the Jesuit Paolo Beltrame the 4 March and titled: If the quanta shed light on theology. Featured on La Civiltà Cattolica with the title Maybe God plays dice?

.

I was very pleased read this article, which also reminded me of my university years when I too studied the subject of philosophy of science for about a year, studying the beautiful text of Werner Heisenberg, Physics and Philosophy, to then study quantum theory in depth, although he did not go into mathematical terminology [N.d.R. Before joining the Order of Friars Preachers, Father Gabriel attended the degree courses in philosophy at the University of Rome La Sapienzaa]. The Jesuit Paolo Beltrame offers a reflection-bridge between quantum theory and Trinitarian theology. I leave you the full reading of the article which does not require excessive skills in either physics or philosophy.

.

This quote struck me in the article attributed to the Danish physicist Niehl's Bohr Nobel Prize in 1922 for studies on the atom, who said:

.

«[…] the phenomena exist as observed and as they enter into a relationship with the measurement apparatus ".

.

Perhaps it will seem far from our perspective. Perhaps it will seem like a philosophical concept. But in fact this is also a fact of ordinary experience. Whenever we know something, from knowing the amount of money to pay at the supermarket to get groceries, at the times of Holy Masses, then coming to the great life choices, how to know if we can trust that person or not, there is always a relationship between us and the known object. The known object closes itself to us because it is observed by our senses that measure it. It becomes evident to us and to all who observe and measure it. Of course, not all reality is a measurable and calculable phenomenon. Man is not a mere meter. But the whole reality is still studied, learned, including because it is related to us. St. Thomas Aquinas said that then the truth of a certain datum is an adjustment between the mind that knows that datum and the datum itself, that is, adjustment between the intellect and reality.

.

Because therefore I feel I can share the thoughts of Father Paolo Beltrame about the links of this theory with theology and faith? In fact, the Jesuit writes that the whole Trinity is relationship. A Classical Doctrine for Scholastic Theology:

.

«The Trinity is relationship in itself, relationship with the universe, and relationship with all living beings, sentient or not ".

.

This also opens up our way of faith and prayer. God is the God who enters into relationship with us and who listens to us, he sees us, scrutinizes us, it tastes us and touches us. What this happens for us through the miracle of the altar, also called miracle of miracles: the Most Holy Eucharist, in which Jesus Christ is present in the body, blood, soul and divinity. And if it is really present, substantially and truly, in his Eucharistic moment he enters into a relationship with us.

.

Think also of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, when Jesus is present in Person Christi in the priest and says at that moment «Take and eat […] take and drink ". And when we take on the Eucharistic species, to touch us first, relationally, is Christ God. While little by little we are transformed into Him.

.

Let's think about moments of doubt and darkness for which some great miracles have brought priests and faithful back to the Eucharistic faith, as the Eucharistic miracle of Bolsena, which is by no means "presumed" and "reproducible in the laboratory", as yesterday our Father Ariel S denied with pain and embarrassment. Levi di Gualdo in a note - yes we Fathers of The Island of Patmos fully shared - replying to an unfortunate post published by a priest from Palermo on Facebook. It's still: think of Eucharistic adoration, how silent, majestic and tremendous is the God Christ who is there to listen to us. It is we who enter his sacramental "field of vision". We can give him all our fears, all our hopes, all our dreams. We can rest them on his Eucharistic heart, his Sacred Heart and He listens to us in His Silence.

.

Perhaps we had never thought about all this. But ultimately Lent is also a deepening and a return to these certainties of faith. Let's take advantage of it to rediscover these treasures of faith, thanking both Bohr and Aquinas for helping us rediscover the beauty of the relational uniqueness between God and the miracle of miracles: the Most Holy Eucharist, which is a miracle of "Christ's reality", not "alleged miracle".

That of Bolsena is an "alleged miracle" of the Eucharist? We are invaded by non-Catholic priests who depend on less Catholic Bishops than them who stand by the window and watch, if anything, waiting for the cardinal's hat to merit the migrant?

- The damage done through Social Media -

THAT OF BOLSENA IS A "PRESUMED MIRACLE" OF THE EUCHARIST? WE ARE INVADED BY NON-CATHOLIC PRIESTS WHO DEPEND ON BISHOPS LESS CATHOLIC THAN THEM WHO STAND BY THE WINDOW WATCHING, SEVERE WAITING FOR THE CARDINAL BEANIE TO THE MERIT OF THE MIGRANT?

.

"The bleeding of the host of Bolsena was considered explainable by Johanna C. Cullen, researcher at Georgetown University in Washington, with the presence of a very common bacterium: the serratia marcescens, that, in periods of hot and humid places, produces an abundant bright red pigment called prodigiosina on bread and focaccia, slightly viscous consistency, easily exchangeable for fresh blood. The Cullen, Furthermore, was able to reproduce the effects of the alleged miracle in the laboratory "

.

.

.

.

.

.

I would very much like not to answer, but questions are coming from readers who ask for insights on the post that I reproduce here, published by a confrere who wrote it on a page Facebook which I chose not to name. This is the post of the confrere:

.

"The bleeding of the host of Bolsena was considered explainable by Johanna C. Cullen, researcher at Georgetown University in Washington, with the presence of a very common bacterium: the serratia marcescens, that, in periods of hot and humid places, produces on bread and focaccia an abundant bright red pigment called prodigiousness, slightly viscous consistency, easily exchangeable for fresh blood. The Cullen, Furthermore, was able to reproduce the effects of the alleged miracle in the laboratory "

.
First of all, let me clarify, not so much as a priest and theologian but as a man of faith, than the Eucharistic ones of Bolsena and of They launch they are recognized by the Church as miracles, that is, as scientifically inexplicable events in which the Church Mater et Magistra recognized the divine supernatural intervention. None of this, for instance, we can say for the liquefaction of the blood of San Gennaro, which the Church has never recognized as a miracle, even if the Neapolitan populace indicates it as such. There is a big difference between miracle and prodigy, St. Thomas Aquinas explains it to us, explaining that what appears admirable and extraordinary to our eyes and senses is not necessarily a miracle: “True miracles can only be accomplished by divine virtue: In fact, God does them for the benefit of men " (Summa Theologica, II-II, 178, 2). Some events appear to be miracles but they are not. There are numerous situations through which man can fall into deception to the point of seeing what does not exist. As there are real facts which, however, do not have the nature of miracles, as the result of various natural causes, including those currently unknown. That of Bolsena was instead judged so striking and important as a miracle, that from that event arose a year later in 1264 the solemn feast of The body of the Lord established by the Supreme Pontiff Urban IV with the bull Pass out of this world.

.

Thomas Aquinas together with Bonaventura di Bagnoregio, another great future saint and doctor of the Church, on the orders of the Supreme Pontiff they assisted the Bishop of that diocese for the study and verification of the miracle. Shortly after the Supreme Pontiff gave Aquinas the task of preparing suitable texts for the liturgy of that new solemnity established. Thus it was that some of the most beautiful Eucharistic hymns in the history of the Church were born, including the Hymn I love you Devote, cited in many documents of the magisterium of the Church, in documents of the last council and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Perhaps all this happened due to a ... "presumed miracle"? Why calling the Eucharistic one in Bolsena a "presumed miracle" should lead us to ask ourselves first of all about a formation that is not simply presumed, but definitely not Catholic received by this priest who instills doubts with a similar post published on social media. At the same time we should ask ourselves about the theological and pastoral formation perhaps even more lacking than his bishop who lets him do it not from today but from always, this priest of his being not new to these inappropriate and unhappy expressions. Perhaps because H.E. Mons. Corrado Lorefice, Archbishop of Palermo, he thinks basically like his priest, being if anything, presumably, even worse than his own priest?

.

As far as I'm concerned I am very honored to say that if I had made a public statement of this kind, my Bishop would have ordered me to deny it immediately, then I think he would have forbidden me to write about social media for the next three years. And doing so would simply not have done well, but very well, so much weighs on the conscience of a Bishop the imperative duty to protect the Believers in Christ from the errors of certain priests, that precisely as priests they can cause much more damage than non-believing secularists ever will. Of course, my bishop would have acted this way because he is a true believer, as I am his presbyter. As for this presbyter and his Bishop Corrado Lorefice, I honestly don't know, I do not really know. Because when a bishop frees one of his priests to publicly affirm things of this kind, one is obliged to question the Catholic faith of the Bishop, to then say with deep pain: I don't know… with a very special thanks to the reigning Pontiff, that for eight years has given us this kind of bishops, after they emulated it by speaking only of the poor and migrants, of migrants and the poor. Too bad, however, that the Church is based on the Eucharist, not on the poor and migrants, someone explain it, to the Roman Pontiff, it's never too late.

Paolo Palumbo, sick of S.L.A.. (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) guest at the Sanremo Festival in the season 2017

Incredible as the opening words of John's Gospel both dense with theological and spiritual meanings and at the same time how these meanings continue to illuminate our lives of faith interwoven with a daily uncertainty. Basically it was what the Apostle John wanted, when he composed his Gospel: show that the Incarnation was a true fact, concrete, real, so that this reality could break into our lives to change them once and for all:

.

True light came into the world,
the one that enlightens every man.
It was in the world
and the world was made through him;
yet the world did not recognize him (GV 1, 9-10).

.

This is the true encounter of faith, with those who transmit the data of the faith of the Incarnation, the one we celebrate every Christmas, even if we forget it too often. Because the Incarnation is the revealed mystery of a Light that pervades humanity in the darkest night. In the darkness of the soul, the torch of the Light of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word, it comes to burn and give clarity and warmth in the glacial cold that has reached the point of division of the soul.

.

There are obviously those who did not want this Light. He turned away. There are those who therefore rejected Jesus and sentenced him to death. It happened in the history of you and it continues to happen. Even today that Christ's action continues in His Church, there are those who prefer to plot in the shadow of sin, of selfishness, of violence and murder, as I have already spoken through the case of Willy Monteiro in a previous article of mine [see WHO]. but yet, unlike many who have not recognized it, however, there is someone who wanted to take the Light of the Incarnate Word. Although for the perfectionist and materialistic mentality of the world Jesus Christ, today, would be considered a loser.

.

Paolo Palumbo, believer and sufferer of ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), he wanted to tell his story in a wonderful book entitled: My eyes are enough to fly.

.

In front of Paul who lives with this ugly disease since he had 18 year old, I can already imagine the supercazzole of some adult Catholic who is wondering why he didn't immediately ask for euthanasia, because after all «what life would that be?», «Because all those sufferings?», «Why deny him an act of freedom?». Yet Paul's whole life is a response to this immense and inhuman sea of ​​nonsense dictated by the culture of death.. Who reads his posts, it not only comes out of Hitler's euthanasia schemes, but he finds himself catapulted into a positive reality, full of joy and so much faith that makes you reflect and question several times, a reality entirely filled with the Light of the Risen One.

.

But let's go in order and start from the beginning: the 10 September 2016, when Paolo was eighteen he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons, or the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord capable of regulating the contraction activity of the voluntary muscles. When they hear the news, family members fall into a state of shock. In fact, Paolo appears to be the youngest individual affected by this disease, the parents and the brother do not know how to face this very hard test to which they are called. But in the meantime he amazes them all right away by showing incredible strength and positivity. Its strength lies above all in an optimism generated by the grace of God and by the light of Christ that shines in the darkness, who have not won it (cf.. GV 1,5). And so did Paul, his illness abbreviated with the acronym ALS, it goes so far as to rename it: Only Light Around!

.

It's hard not to fall in love with Paolo after reading his words, because it is a true force of nature elevated by grace, a concentrate of vitality and stubbornness. In every word of the book you can see how strong his personality is. May, he let himself be overwhelmed by the disease, indeed, with his life he defeats her every day. Nothing is impossible for him, because he began to live from the perspective of memory resurrection, in that dimension of life that overcomes and defeats every death. And so, filled with Trinitarian Light, Paul offers us a masterful lesson on how to deal with our weaknesses. In fact, he himself writes that we are the only ones who impose limits on us, because they are only in our head. Suffice it to say that Paolo took the stage in Sanremo, who met the Supreme Pontiff Francis, the President of the United States of America Barack Obama and the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella to talk to him about the harsh reality with which disabled people live. Paolo guided a drone through his eyes and invented a way to make people like him feel the flavors of food, due to dysphagia, he can no longer have the pleasure of doing it. And these are just a few of the many things he has done since that fateful one 10 September, when his diagnosis was formulated as a final sentence.

.

Paolo Palumbo is an extraordinary person, a true gift of God to humanity, perhaps the only one who is not yet fully aware of it is he, animated by such a great faith that every day gives him the courage to face the many difficulties that his serious illness, but above all society, they place in front of him, moving forward without fear, moved by the culture of life, not from the culture of death.

.

Then, if in the story of this radiant life we want to look for a dark out of tune, which, however, completely disregards Paul's illness, the social impact is usual, because that's where there are a lot of things to fix. The reality that should bring help to the disabled, unfortunately it hasn't changed for thirty years.

.

The red tape to get what is a right of the disabled, such as a wheelchair or stairlift, invalidity and accompanying pensions so low that they do not in any way cover the health costs they have to bear, they are all realities with which disabled people and their families have to live together every day. And even at this juncture, Paolo never pulled back, together with his inseparable brother Rosario he faced many battles with a "hard face" to assert his rights and those of all the disabled. It's a pity that, as usual, many made promises to him and then abandoned him. Or as Paul says: "The limits are only and only those that we ourselves impose". Therefore, dear friends of The island of Patmos, we draw from the story of Paolo Palumbo the courage to ask God for his Trinitarian Light, that pervades and disintegrates all our limits and all our pride. And for us too, the era of the Only Light Around will begin, the era in which we will become men alive and strong in faith, with the Life and Joy of the Risen One.

How sad Venice is at the time of Covid, sung by a politically incorrect priest rather than by Charles Aznavour

- Church news -

"HOW SAD VENICE IS" IN THE TIME OF COVID, SUNG BY A POLITICALLY INCORRECT PRIEST INSTEAD OF CHARLES AZNAVOUR

.

Today I'm in the mood for revelations I will reveal to you an arcane: who has read the sickening writings even more than desecrating by de Sade and Apollinaire - and this not so much for literary but psychiatric and demonological interest -, is very clear how certain today's aspirants to politically incorrect are in truth only naive creatures who think they have robbed with the coup of the century the caveau of the Bank of Italy after having stolen only a jar of jam in a hypermarket.

Artist's shit, work of art by Piero Manzoni, preserved at the Museo del Novecento in Milan, at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2018 one of these cans of shit was sold to 275.000 euro from the Milanese auction house Il Ponte. At this link sAll the artistic explanations with the related psychoanalytic implications are available, socio-political, cultural, etc …

One of the workhorses of the French singer of Armenian origin Charles Aznavour [nato Chahnourh Varinag Aznavourian, Paris 1924 – Mouriès 2018] is the song How sad Venice is:

.

"How sad Venice is only one year later / How sad Venice is if you no longer love / We are looking for words that no one will say / And you would like to cry and you can't anymore ".

.

Before arriving in Venice used as a paradigm, it is good to explain what is politically incorrect and what is not. Perhaps Piero Manzoni is the author of his Artist's shit still preserved in the Museo del Novecento in Milan, at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York? Precious and listed work, just think that one of his cans of shit was sold in December of 2018 at the Milanese auction house Il Ponte a 275.000 Euro [cf.. WHO]. And still today the critics explain the meaning of that work assuring with seriousness: «… He is a breaking artist, counter-trend, politically incorrect ... ".

.

This would be politically incorrect, a can of shit? Or maybe "Piss Chirst» (piss of Christ), “opera” by Andres Serrano, consisting of a Crucifix immersed in a glass full of his urine? [cf.. WHO]. This would be the much vaunted politically incorrect that produces excitement in the freaks of the Left radical chic that move between the Parioli penthouse apartments and the villas of Capalbio?

.

Today I'm in the mood for revelations I will reveal to you an arcane: who has read the sickening writings even more than desecrating by de Sade and Apollinaire - and this not so much for literary but psychiatric and demonological interest -, is very clear how certain today's aspirants to politically incorrect are in truth only naive creatures who think they have robbed with the coup of the century the caveau of the Bank of Italy after having stolen only a jar of jam in a hypermarket.

.

You want to expose certain beginners to politically incorrect or low-grade desecration, like the Crucifix immersed in a glass of "artistic" piss, making them explode instantly out of any logical equilibrium? To do so, this public statement will suffice: "Late in the morning an already drunk black man crossed my street with a red light for pedestrians. Luckily I had quick reflexes and nailed a brake, otherwise I risked knocking a drunk nigger under the wheels ".

.

Hearing this the beginners of the politically incorrect, the same ones who defend the artistry of those who have to exercise the free right to put a crucifix to soak in their own piss, they will tear their clothes in front of those who dared to make use of the harmless word "negro", instead of indicating that very tanned person as a "black man". It is one thing in fact to exhibit a Crucifix inside a glass of piss and call everything art with lots of public patronage for the benefit of events and artistic events., It is one thing to call an African black as a coal ember a Negro, because this is not done, it is an unacceptable racist expression! In today's society that considers itself truly civil, a nigga is not a nigga, he's a black man, in the same way that crucified Jesus Christ dipped in a glass of piss is not pathetic cheap desecration, it is art. On the contrary: "Art of breaking", “of transgression”, as the left-wing freak critic would say, obviously, needless to say proud gay declared. And never let anyone respond in kind by saying "... but stop talking nonsense, rather learn to respect others ". In fact, calling an ostentatiously gay art critic who presents you as art a Crucifix soaked in a glass of piss "frocetto", it is such an insult as to require a special law on transomophobia, to be approved quickly and with absolute priority in the middle of the pandemic, while Italian hospitals break out and intensive care is collapsing. Instead, Jesus Christ dipped in piss, And “breaking art” which is not discussed. And anyone who dared to question that work of art will be duly defined as a Cat-fascist bigot, especially by an army of frocetti in the mood for transgressions, which then such not only, first because they didn't invent anything, second why, many centuries ago, in Sodom and Gomorrah they have transgressed much more and much better than them. Ah, sweet ignorance of LGBT + who think they have invented transgression! They probably do not even imagine what cities like Corinth were like at the time when the Blessed Apostle Paul preached to its inhabitants. Ah, sweet and narrow provincial ignorance ...

.

The truth is that the claims radical chic with their LGBT + friends, with their cans of Artist's Shit and poor Christs soaked in piss and declared "art" by the gay art critic on duty, ready, however, to instantly call the catto-fascist to anyone who dares to dissent, they are politically incorrect and irreverent as an educator who has never seen a man's rod even in a photograph could be, but who claims to be a serial man-spoiler, except to fall into ridicule, because in the concrete facts she is a virgin and even shy. Just as Alberto Moravia plunged into the ridiculous today, than with his miserable work The inner life and the character of his young eager Desideria, irreverent and breaking author could have been right for four high bourgeois sons of fathers who had never read in their tasteless lives the most irreverent and destructive authors of the eighteenth century, convinced that the contempt for all that is pure and sacred was invented in 1978 by a sex addict like Alberto Pincherle known as Moravia, or from that drunkard of Charles Bukowski, for which it is not clear why the Literary Award Cirrhosis of the liver.

.

Among these speeches, I am fond of remembering my friend Paolo Poli, that with all his theatrical blatant he used to tell me in a disconsolate tone:

.

«I who am a very serious froc, I can't stand these little frocetti of the new generation lacking in seriousness, they are pathetic! True frocism is the stuff of professionals not from … [N.d.A. and at this point in the sentence I have to stop]».

.

On the aspirants to the so-called epochal "ruptures" and "desecrations", dear Paolo Poli went on to tell me:

.

«… But imagine my darling, certain subjects who think they are irreverent and breaking intellectuals? Oh, how ridiculous! At best they do the bidet three times a day in the holy water pile to purify and cleanse themselves of their little sins ".

.

These were for Paolo Poli the intellectuals of the Italian Left and her four upper-middle-class daddy children who played intellectuals and transgressives.

.

Clarified what is not politically incorrect, even with the precious help of the memory of my "very cool" friend Paolo Poli, but above all after pointing out how certain village altar boys who serve Mass to a country curate think they are the cardinal deacons who assist the Roman Pontiff during a solemn pontifical at the altar of Confession in the Papal Archbasilica of St. Peter, I who am a great professional in political incorrectness - if you allow even a high political and ecclesial level -, now I will sing to you How sad Venice is at the time of Covid-19. In truth, it was sad even before, but the cow was fat and spread milk, for this no one was aware of his intimate and profound sadness.

.

Anyone with common sense is worried because together with the Covid-19 problem, of its waves that do not stop and its variants, there is the no less slight one of the economic situation that involves companies, commercial activities and individual workers. Whole families fear for their subsistence and from March of 2020 they live in situations of great difficulty. Let's not talk about work, of the supplementary coffers joined, not reached or to be reached. Contributions, financing or so-called “refreshments” data or not data, received or not received, joints or to be reached, which in any case will not be able to last forever. It goes without saying that at some point a world-renowned economics specialist such as Mario Draghi was chosen to chair the new “emergency government”. Or maybe we could afford to continue squandering money between scooters, bicycles and grillino income of citizenship with which the amateurs in the fray of the schizophrenic comedian bought votes in the whole of southern Italy, where even the mythological Bulgarian majorities have been surpassed in many constituencies? [cf.. previous article, WHO] Like this, what in the misfortune certainly not desirable and less desirable than ever could be an opportunity for reflection, social maturation and change, it quickly turned into a missed opportunity, mainly because no one, at the head of all politicians and public administrators hungry for votes, is willing to tell the people, or to certain slices or categories of people, some unpleasant truths, exactly what no one wants to hear.

.

In various television programs we have repeatedly witnessed the protests of Venetian traders who responded to journalists in the various live televisions: “We can't go on … soon we will be starving … Venice is dying … ». Then followed some screams of anger: “They have forgotten us, they have forgotten us!».

.

As an Italian citizen lover of art and pastor in the care of souls, I would like to respond to those Venetian merchants from televised protest that as far as I'm concerned I have not forgotten them at all, indeed I remember them very well, even years later. For example, I remember seeing from semi-open doors or from one and a half meter high windows overlooking the calli of the lagoon city, the interiors of restaurant kitchens, taverns, pizzerias e fast-food of such internal filth as not to be comparable to those of Algeria in the 1950s, which certainly were cleaner. Seeing what there was dirt inside, I even doubted that the rats themselves were reluctant to approach. I also remember having paid in 2001, standing in front of a bar counter, that just to clarify it was not in Piazza San Marco but in a decentralized area, the amount of 11 euro for two cappuccinos and two croissants. But this is not the point, because in Venice we can, indeed we must also concede 11 euro for two cappuccinos and two croissants, clearly specifying that I am talking not about yesterday but twenty years ago, Venice is in fact a unique city in the world, certain amounts he deserves them all, the high prices could even be an excellent deterrent to prevent it from being stormed by numerous hordes of wild tourists, that this delicate city of art cannot withstand. So if you go to Venice you must be ready to spend, otherwise it is good to choose cheaper destinations. But, Given the above, I continue by saying that only licensed thieves like the Venetians can offer cappuccinos made not with fresh milk but with third quality long-life milk at that price, not to mention the absolutely poor quality of the coffee. We then threw the two croissants in the basket, under the completely indifferent eyes of the bartender, because they weren't just frozen hydrogenated fats, worse: they had been badly defrosted, therefore cooked on the outside but raw on the inside.

.

And we want to talk about the shops overflowing with trinkets with managers and clerks of rare rudeness and ignorance, since sure that thousands of people would have left more or less discontented in the evening and thousands more ready to be plucked would have arrived the next day? No, don't be afraid of being forgotten, dear Venetian merchants weeping today, because many will never forget you, many and scattered all over the world. And how could I forget what happened to me in a four-star hotel in 1998, when we were always with the old coin? It happened that in a mid-season period I paid for a single room with breakfast 280.000 read, corresponding according to the rates applied today to approx 650 Euro. When I went to sleep in the evening I found two black hairs in the bed and examining the sheets carefully in the light I noticed some spots on which I fly. I go down to reception where I make my grievances. The manager arrives and tells me without beating her for length: "If our structure does not suit you, it can find a place under some bridges, in Venice there are many!». Before becoming a priest I traveled around the world quite a lot and I can testify that in all the hotels in the Maghreb countries of the nineties no one had ever presented me with a bed made with used sheets and stains on which it is better to overlook. It may happen that by mistake a room has not been redone? Anything inadvertently can happen through unintentional human error, however at that point we apologize and immediately send the maid to make the bed, the client who protests is not invited to go to sleep under a bridge. Understand why I will never forget you, dear Venetian traders today weeping due to the economic crisis due to Covid-19?

.

Yet it seems that today we should cry not only for the Venetians but also for the Florentine and Roman traders who have gained weight in the tourist areas of these very popular cities of art, where for years they have offered poor products and a lot of rudeness to customers, certain that thousands would leave in the evening, if anything, most dissatisfied, thousands more ready to be plucked would arrive the next day. Or someone forgets the crazy prices around St. Peter's Square and the Vatican City in 2005 on the occasion of the death of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II? Other than Venice, in Via della Conciliazione they came to ask 24 euro for two cappuccinos and two croissants. But since they are politically incorrect, but they are serious and as I said at high professional levels, in all tranquility I declare to you that for them I do not intend to cry a tear at all, not even if Gianfranco Vissani, with his air more like that of an old butcher of yesteryear rather than that of an elegant starred chef, goes around the television networks to defend uncritically, between screams and speeches often far-fetched, a category also made up of many people for whom one is not obliged to cry, for example for the army of not a few improvised boarders who have always caused very serious damage to the delicate hotel sector, but above all to that of catering.

.

Far from crying for certain restaurateurs or hoteliers in tourist areas where is practiced the “robbery” of the tourist, my tears are reserved for their employees and their families. They are reserved for all those restaurateurs who love their work with passion and who consider Italian cuisine a real culture of our country of arts and talents.. My tears are directed at the cooks and waiters, professionally good and very attached to their work, forced by money-hungry managers and heedless of their customers' health to use third-rate foods that are passed first, presenting as Italian poor meat from dubious farms in the former Eastern countries, frozen fish passed off as a night's catch, porcini mushrooms guaranteed as harvested in the nearby woods by the holy hands of old grandparents and sold for this by weight of gold, but they actually came from crops in Ukraine where they had absorbed radioactive toxic residues [cf.. WHO].

.

Let's overlook the food scams, because it would be an encyclopedic theme. How many times in my capacity as a priest have I found myself talking to assistant cooks and waiters who have exposed me their not slight crises of conscience, having to attend all this and more in silence every day, up to leftover food from customers' dishes and recycled in pretentious restaurant kitchens, not in fourth-class taverns? Maybe to Gianfranco Vissani, famous chef and representative of the category, certain questions may have never been asked, while to me, who am a priest, yes, so much so that several times I have been asked: «My job as an assistant cook … of waiter … of dishwasher … I need it to live. However, my salary forces me to see hygienic deficiencies in food preparation every day in the kitchens, regenerated spoiled food, leftovers recycled and then put back on the plates ". As impossible as it may seem, of people who still have a conscience exist. If anything, however, the assistant cook has the conscience, the dishwasher and the waiter, not certain restaurateurs who at the cost of the health of others have to show off a sports car new to the year and who today are clamoring against the government and politicians in front of the cameras because of the crisis generated by the pandemic in progress.

.

In Venice it is located in the area of ​​the Punta della Dogana the majestic basilica church of Santa Maria della Salute, erected by the Venetians as a vow made by the citizens to the Virgin Mary to whom the liberation from the plague is attributed 1630-1631. And here it should be remembered that in that as in other eras, Venice was an open-air brothel and a crossroads of all kinds of ill repute. I'm not saying that, it is history that documents it in all its details. Even the ecclesiastical chronicles document it, in addition to the sentences of the ecclesiastical courts, who repeatedly referred to the convents and monasteries of the Venetian nuns "even worse than brothelsAnd advised men of upright morals not to visit certain female religious houses [I refer to this historical article of mine, WHO]. At the time of that plague, however, the Venetians recommended the intercession of the Blessed Virgin to which they later dedicated this church. Today, who they intend to contact? At the refreshments, to European Union funds?

.

I think I've shown you enough what is truly and constructively the true politically incorrect. Not a jar of shit passed off as art and not even the poor Crucifix soaked in a glass of piss to represent who knows what. “breaking art” e “art of transgression”. The true politically incorrect is that truth that you do not want to hear and that is why you try to prevent in every way and by any means that can be said, because in the middle there are the votes for the politicians, quiet living for bishops and priests, in addition to an underground economy made up of people who do not want to pay taxes but who want to live well and who, at the first difficulty, begins to curse against the state.

.

We are no longer able to ask the Blessed Virgin for intercession and we are no longer able to build them, once the plague has ceased, a new church of Santa Maria della Salute, sign of ours salvation of souls.
