While the bishops beat up the sheep and interact with the wolf, the Holy Spirit blows in the People of God who will save the Church

WHILE THE BISHOPS clubbing SHEEP AND DIALOGUE WITH THE WOLF, THE HOLY SPIRIT BLOWS IN THAT PEOPLE OF GOD WHO WILL SAVE THE CHURCH

How can "fix" immediately and expeditiously Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments - something completely legitimate by any Roman Pontiff in the chair -, but at the same time, however, defer the number two of the Italian Episcopal Conference that really praising Luther blasphemously at a symposium held at the Pontifical Lateran University?

Prophesy against the shepherds of Israel [This 34,2]

Your shepherds are asleep [Already 3,18]

depiction of the Holy Spirit in St. Peter Archbasilica

God guides the Church normally through our pastors, but nevertheless, his entire People possess the Holy Spirit. If for what these exceptional times pastors are not doing their duty, the Holy Spirit enlightens the faithful directly, that always referring to the Magisterium of the Church, also know the path of truth and the means of sustaining it, although many pastors neglect to indicate, to warn against deviations and dangers, to bring back on the right path those who came out or was lost, to punish those who lead astray by deception. Not to mention the shepherds, with their reprehensible conduct or their perverse ideas, They are an obstacle to those who want to walk along the right path. And in these situations can happen that the Supreme Shepherd, Vicar of Christ, the stone on which Christ wants to build his Church [cf. Mt 16, 13-20], is unable to control and properly manage the ecclesial community and ecclesiastical.

.

Just a few days of each on the other, there were two emblematic events, before which, even the most staunch defenders, those for which the reigning Pope is more perfect than Christ Himself [see previous article, WHO], They can not help but wonder, if they even survive one single shred of analytical clarity. The two facts are as follows: S. AND. Mons. Nunzio Galantine, Secretary General of the Italian Episcopal Conference, It has wickedly sproloquiato that Martin Luther's "reform" was "a gift of the Holy Spirit», and His Eminence Cardinale Robert Sarah, which it is able to reach its current seventy-two years because the then bloodthirsty dictator of Guinea did not have time to kill [cf. WHO], It was denied by the Supreme Pontiff for the question concerning the translation of liturgical texts. The fact is reported by the magazine The New Compass Daily [cf. WHO] it has also made available the original text of the papal letter [cf. WHO]. The news agency Vatican Insider, merely to bring the true story, as it does in principle precisely in its capacity as an information agency, It provides in this regard an accurate summary of the fact [cf. WHO].

.

We do not do news, but theology and ecclesiology, Instead we enter just part of the socio-ecclesial interpretations, because this is our job and our mission. And the fact is disturbing to say the least this: as you can "fix" immediately and expeditiously Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments - something completely legitimate by any Roman Pontiff in the chair -, but at the same time, however, defer the number two C.E.I praising Luther so truly blasphemous to a symposium held at the Pontifical Lateran University? [cf. our article WHO]. It is perhaps abolished the ecclesiastical law, and along with it also the common sense, to give unbridled: the sheer arbitrariness and tyranny in the name of dialogue, of collegiality and especially of mercy? Because before objective data such as those just reported, say that we are before a pastoral way of acting deranged, It is really a euphemism. What in fact the Bishop Nunzio Galantino enunciated, and the context in which it has enunciated, revealing first a real donkey in the field of theology and church history, He would have to behave as an obvious consequence its immediate removal from the post of Secretary General C.E.I. The first to call for his immediate removal, They should have been the members of this Conference, if the test of facts were not of bunnies lying inside that flickering conigliera called precisely Italian Episcopal Conference.

.

That's why when you can not rely on driving and protection of the Pastors to whom is entrusted the People of God, We have to trust that the Holy Spirit enlighten and guide by other means and lighting the People of God. Indeed, ithe recent scandalous case of the Nuncio Bishop Galantino apologist Luther, It is impressive and clear symptom of a serious identity crisis Italian Episcopate. Anyone who wants to take a trip back in the archive of this our Johannine Patmos Island, You will find dozens of articles, which we speak of the now dramatic situation of our episcopate [among many see WHO, WHO, etc ..]. Ma, as is known, similar situations - if you do a lot worse -, There are also other Bishops Conferences, especially European.

.

We want to dedicate a few words episcopacy that Cardinal Cláudio Hummes, current strong supporter of "married priests as an experiment", He has bequeathed to Brazil? Because for one thing, given the moral situation of the Brazilian clergy, the pious Cardinal Teutonico-Brazilian It should first specify whether he means to married priests than married women or those most likely to married men. A concrete example in this regard? Soon said: a Brazilian priest who between 2009 and the 2010 He was in Rome at an international Priestly House, then he returned to Brazil at the end of specialized studies carried out in ancient City, at the end of last year he was summoned and informed that he had been chosen as Bishop of the suffragan dioceses of a large metropolitan archbishopric. After immediately put before its refusal, This holy priest also explained the reason for his refusal, making precise statements that the next day he wrote in confidence to the Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, with whom he lived in contact for a whole year, to be exact wrote to him word for word:

.

"In that diocese, an average of seven out of ten priests are homosexual, most of them with very serious doctrinal problems. How can, a bishop, govern and the pastoral care of a diocese not to have priests who are reliable and presentable?».

.

To this must be added the fact that the bishop of that diocese, Although several years away from the completion of the seventy-fifth birthday, It had been removed under the pontificate of Benedict XVI, after Santa had been informed and had taken note of his dangerous run the diocese, especially as it regards the morality of the clergy. And the reasoned response of my brother, then transmitted to the Holy See, someone has read both at the Secretariat of State and the Congregation for Bishops. Well, what he has to say, about that, Cardinale yl Cláudio Hummes, which for many years, of Brazil, It was both master, both great incinerator ? Because his farfetched idea of ​​married priests as an experiment "" in the Amazon region of Brazil, It produces very worst effects of incineration of forests carried out by anti-environmentalist multinationals. E, After this her burning, it will not be easy to fix the error by writing or singing ... Praised be You '.

.

This weakness or withdrawal of the episcopate It is a morbid phenomenon that had its beginnings since the immediate post-conciliar, when, a misunderstanding of the new ministry and new evangelization promoted by the Council, He began to spread among the bishops of the belief that all people are of good will - what we now call "doing good" -, for which there are no more sins to punish or conduct or ideas to be corrected, but mistakes out of ignorance or good faith, or weaknesses to tolerate, compassionate and forgiving; that they no longer had to exercise coercive power or discipline or condemn heresies, but only dialogue with all, search only what unites and refusing to resolve issues that arise from that which divides; that the Church had no more enemies to fight or exclude, but only "different" to understand, appreciate, integrate, receive and accept.

.

Unfortunately this evil, in the last decades, it came exacerbating, until it reaches the symptomatic case and unheard of Bishop Nunzio Galantino; If it should be for all bishops a warning bell that finally must change his route and retrieve that pastoral wisdom that characterizes the true good pastor, who knows how to skillfully connect sound doctrine and pastoral prudence, communion with the Roman Pontiff and collegial communion, Justice and mercy, firmness and sweetness, Meekness and courage, reception and vigilance, piety and zeal, fidelity and renewal, disinterest and generosity.

The escalation of bullying

.

representation of St. Michele Arcangelo hitting the Devil

They are also extreme cases rising, in which good Catholics, who intend to remain faithful to the truth and give frank testimony, not only they are poorly tolerated by modernist bishops and relaxed, but actually persecuted, perhaps in the name of "mercy", so far ahead it is hypocrisy and injustice joints. Not even popes saints as Paul VI and Giovanni Paolo II were able to stop the rising tide of the episcopate modernist and secularist, which now has infiltrated the Holy See itself closer to the Roman Pontiff or of self-styled or so-called "friends of the Pope".

.

The reigning Pontiff has inherited a very heavy ecclesial reality if not tragic, and it's no surprise that he has great difficulty in governing the Church and correct abuses. A Pope can also be a saint - and we have recent examples -, but if the episcopate is not united and docile, no spirit of collaboration and helpless, above all, to defend him, he can do little and somehow, as seems to have privately said the Holy Father Francis: "His hands are tied" [see previous article, WHO]. Then, that these hands have finished tied in part due to his work and, this is another and equally complex speech.

.

It is then that unfortunately Add, as we have already pointed out several times on our lines, the reigning Pontiff does not correct the modernist interpretation of the Council given in the turbulent season of the post-conciliar, as did its predecessors Supreme, or it corrects the well known defects in the pastoral Vatican II, When he had to say that his Supreme Predecessor, It should not be treated "like a totally new beginning, like a superdogma that makes everything else irrelevant " [cf. WHO]. Its feel-good trend and too uncritically open to a dialogue optimistic at all costs and whatever the cost, with the consequence of aggravating not just the church and clergy problems for half a century we drag behind. Moreover, rather than imitate the examples most worthy of Pontiffs who immediately preceded him, the reigning Pontiff seems to want to do too much in his own way, moreover ill-advised, with the result that the situation of the Church is now more than ever confused, conflictual and problematic.

.

.

What is making the reigning Pontiff ?

.

.

the Chair of the Bishop of Rome in the largest basilica of St. John Lateran

Hard to know where the reigning Pope He wants to guide us. It shows very active, reaps success, but reaps unfortunately among the enemies of the Church, while Catholics devotees manifest themselves increasingly disoriented. Maybe even from this, It comes the episcopate concerns. Not that he lacks the initiatives, But a question comes spontaneously: What is announcing? What is your message? What are its guiding ideas? What we propose? He signed an encyclical, however beautiful, Posting of the Gospel [cf. text WHO]. Ma, in practice, There really is announcing the Gospel? There is announcing Christ, the only Savior of the world? Are you telling us that only in Christ is there salvation? There is announcing a duty to do penance, because the kingdom of heaven is approaching? It teaches us to conquer the world, to save him and to lead him to Christ? There is announcing the coming of Christ as judge? Or simply to promote a peace meeting between all religions in working together for the cause of humanity, especially the poor and oppressed? He is calling all to Christ or is content to talk and to do only on the human level agreements?

.

The historic mission that maybe the Holy Spirit has given to the reigning Pontiff It is to convene, on the stimulus of Vatican II, all nations around Christ. AND, at the bottom of, what it was contained in the motto engraved on the shield of the Papal Holy Pontiff Pius X: establish all things in Christ. In Pope Francis sees this effort to accept all, to contact all, to welcome all, go to all, with particular attention to the poor. Rarely is the question of true or false, He never speaks of dogma or heresy, but it is almost always engaged in an economic issue, social, ecological, humanitarian and moral, if not political.

.

The Gospel, But, not only announces mercy, but the doomsday, of which Christ the Lord speaks very clearly:

.

"But I say unto you that every idle word that men give account thereof in the day of judgment".

.

There is not only social justice, but there is also justice and wrath:

.

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him " [GV 3, 36].

.

There is just opening, but also the closure and the announcement of a very severe punishment, an example among many:

.

«[…] If the house is worthy, your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or will not listen to your words, leave that house or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly, I say, the day of judgment the land of Sodom and Gomorrah shall be more tolerable fate of that city ' [Mt 10, 13-15].

.

It takes the bridges, but also the walls. At the wedding feast are so invited all, but you have to go with the wedding dress, otherwise it is not allowed:

.

«[…] He saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment, he told him: Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding? And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants: Bind him hand and foot and cast into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen " [Mt 22, 11-14].

.

Faced with unambiguous and clear words how these imprinted on the Holy Gospel, the solutions are only two, there is not a third that is vague or intermediate, therefore: and we acknowledge that the Word of God made Man, which is embodied mercy, He speaks and warns with extreme clarity, or, before certain fragrant today drifts a stubborn refusal to accept such words as God's wrath, punishment, pena, eternal damnation ... we must realize that there is someone who is more welcoming, includente, accommodating and mercy of Christ God himself. For as the Blessed Apostolo Paolo instructs us:

.

"Well, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel other than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed! We have already said it and now I repeat it: if any man preach a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be accursed! Indeed, It is perhaps the favor of men that I intend to earn, or rather that of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, do not be a servant of Christ!» [Gal 1, 8-10].

.

In these lines, the Blessed Apostle, paying particular attention to the guides of the People of God, She teaches how to act an apostle, but especially to those who the Apostle should always try to please: to God, not to men.

.

It should be quite clear, and especially in these times in which the Church welcomes all and above all that is not Catholic, that excluding the damage and danger, It is not exclusivism, elitism and discrimination, but prudence and defend us and our loved ones. What is there to do the dog about the fold? Perhaps a dialogue with the sheep? He says that Christ pastor who runs away Upon arriving Wolf? Perhaps you remember his exact words:

.

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The hired, that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, He leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters " [GV 10, 11-12].

.

Or anyone believes that today the wolves no longer exist? Of course, if the wolves exist, even they go to the Vatican to do interviews and then write to Pastor, without being contradicted by the Holy See, nonsense of this kind:

.

"... Pope Francis abolished places after death the souls should go: Inferno, Purgatory, Paradiso […] All souls have the grace and therefore are born perfectly innocent, and these remain unless you take up the way of evil. If they are aware of it and do not repent even at death, they are condemned. Pope Francis - I repeat - abolished the places of eternal residence in 'Beyond the souls. The thesis he sustained is that the souls dominated by evil and do not repent cease to exist and those that have been redeemed from evil will be made from bliss contemplating God. This is the thesis of Francis' [see article by John Cavalcoli, WHO].

.

Membership in the Church It does not coincide with the mere membership of this world: to belong to the Church, efforts should be made to overcome the world in its seductions and its dangers, and save it to where it can be salvageable. If there is a criterion of discernment between those who can belong to the Church and who is not, since it still must be said either yes or no [cf. Mt 5,37] It is welcome indiscriminate verification, which has its counterpart in the indiscriminate exclusion. It says yes to those who deserve no and we say no to those who deserve the yes. At that point, it so happens that an unenlightened mercy and not offset by Justice, a good criterion to distinguish from each other, It ends up producing the opposite, that injustice, cronyism and despotism, in conclusion: the tyranny. The pastoral error of Pope Francis I is the risk of presenting an incomplete Gospel announcing the mercy and neglect justice.

.

However, we should trace the Vicar of Christ beyond appearances, which can deceive and offend, although it is not easy. And the feeling that pervades some time the Fathers of The Island of Patmos It is that the least worthy of the episcopate hardships to overcome this difficulty, misunderstand the true intent and duty of the Supreme Pontiff, influenced by modernism and very dangerous occult powers, while the good part, suffering but faithful, remains silent puzzled, or lack of courage to be heard. The vouchers are, are few and timid, because "I am wiser than the children of this world that the children of light" [LC 16, 8]. They are firmer heretics in their error that the faithful in the truth. However, in our view, after all, what today does not work is not so much the papacy, but it is the episcopate. Of course, the Supreme Pontiff has its grave responsibility to be clear; a responsibility that the Fathers de LPatmos Island They have not failed on several occasions to report, even allowing himself to exhort him to clarity and warning him against false friends and traitors. For we know that the Holy Father would be clearer in its message, if the good bishops sollecitassero to be clearer. But how do you explain this silence?

.

.

The major problem is therefore that of the episcopate

.

.

the Blessed Vergine Maria with the snake under their feet

We believe in the end is better than, instead of attacking or "correct" - not to say abuse - the Supreme Pontiff, He would find itself the tone of the ancient prophets of Israel, certainly not the heresies sown by Enzo Bianchi in the cathedral of the cathedral under the complacent smile of bishops increasingly undoctrinated who invite him to sow wickedness. And the tone of the ancient prophets of Israel, there is shown in Holy Scripture: their zeal and fiery word for the cause of God, the reproaches, the calls and warnings to the shepherds for their own good and benefit of the people, their courage, their frankness, their dedication, their mercy and their combativeness, acceptance of the sacrifices and sufferings, persecuted for righteousness. Then We will quote some of their significant step, that seems a huge and urgent topical. All in a moment when you can not understand the silence of the shepherds before the spread of heresies, the overt and blatant disregard of the natural moral law and divine and the most serious corruption of morals, especially religious, personal and family.

.

Why should we read or hear only complaints, protests and refutations dates from simple small groups of laity, journalists often, in sites, blogs and publications with limited circulation? Where did they take the theological preparation, the wisdom, the timeliness, the critical acumen and courage of which the bishops do not give evidence? Surely the Holy Spirit. But we are not like the Lutherans who believe that the Church is simply the community of the baptized by the Spirit, independently and indeed against fraud of a so-called episcopal magisterium, in which they do not believe, but which is instead an object of faith for us Catholics. If we indeed reproach and accuse our bishops, teachers of the faith and not the whoppers, it is not because we do not believe in the sacramental fullness of the priesthood they received, but it is precisely because we believe and we want that the bishops do their duty of bishops.

.

.

The wisdom of the laity

.

.

lay people and saints, an image of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati [Torino 1901 – Torino 1925] Dominican tertiary

The good laymen who rise up against heresies and injustices, for the promotion of faith, often paying in person and giving a splendid example of fidelity to the Church and at the same Supreme Pontiff, despite its lack of clarity, Referring to the teachings of the Church, often proving to theological education, solidity of convictions, evangelical parrhesia, critical acumen and skillful speaking Christian, They can not be self-taught. Not being of our Fathers The Island of Patmos exactly the unwary, It is obvious: many of these lay Catholics and Catholic journalists, behind they have masters and ecclesiastical patrons of high rank and competence, perhaps bishops, academic theologians and cardinals. Not only, reading certain writings, instantly we understand what level and rank are the inspirers, but several times we also indicated between our lines the identity of these inspiring, prompters and principals implicit or explicit, which, however, remain in the shadows in fearful and objectionable. Therefore, on the one hand some lay people are to be commended as advocates of sound doctrine and good morals, on the other, their prompters dressed in red or purplish garments, give rather squalid evidence of an unreasonable and undignified cowardice and petty opportunism, But unless impersonate, with their faithful "spokesman", for the political sopraffini.

.

It could even say that to recognize the heresies and the shepherds' blunders and senseless teologastri cantafrottole, We do not need the intelligence of St. Thomas Aquinas or hold special academic qualifications, that these days are only cards whose value is comparable to that of the marco tedesco during the great hyperinflation of the twenties of the twentieth century. Just compare just the nonsense of these pastors and foolish teologastri cantafrottole with the teachings of Catechism of the Catholic Church, and sometimes with the same principles of healthy natural reason known to all, to grasp the full enormity of their contradictions and their absurdity.

.

Then remember our bishops of glorious times in which the Athanasius and Augustine opposed with apostolic zeal against Nestorius, The Pelagio and Ario for the honor of Christ and the good of the flock from heresy troubled. Today the times are very similar to those, and zealous bishop should not fear these noble causes to stand against the enemies of truth, They were also brothers in the episcopate. But unfortunately, not a few of these timid members of the episcopate, relying on the now eighty years of the reigning Pontiff, They have already made their cynical and political accounts in the so-called father died, sending forth the laity to launch harsh accusations [see WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO], while they think they can back on the front of the wind change, if anything octogenarians achieving the "cursed" purple who run for life until the loss and the eternal damnation of their souls [please refer to this harsh article, WHO].

.

Venerable Fathers of the College of Bishops, take as a model the holy Bishop Atanasio di Alessandria who sought the glory of God and not his own glory, down in the holy battlefield without fear, but especially remembering that God's judgment on you, It will be really strict, because 'To whom much is given, much will be asked for; to whom men have committed much, It will ask the more " [LC 12, 48].

.

How, then, impostors and counterfeiters not afraid to make the best impression with impudence and shamelessness of their shameful indecencies and ye say to the four winds with intolerable arrogance of their perverse, so far more so the good bishops have come out; They must descend on the holy battlefield with zeal and courage to claim the honor of God, the rights of truth, the salvation of souls, the dignity of the sacred Episcopal class, obedience and devotion to the Supreme Pontiff, misunderstood by sycophants, dai mestatori, by traitors and false friends. Stay behind the scenes, and forward the laity, using them to express what you did not dare to express, It does not make it any of these subjects sopraffini politicians, as they believe they are, but only cowards and, As such, the real shame of the sacred college of bishops, sowers of poisons and bewilderment among the People of God already too confused and bewildered.

.

Is it possible that in front of so many follies and sins which cry before God and being committed almost daily by top-ranking ecclesiastical figures, his 250 bishops in Italy we did not find a single one who with evangelical parresia, moved by the fear of God, able to face the good fight of faith, strong charisma Episcopal, ready to suffer the humiliation of the cross, trusting in the future heavenly glory? Possible that there is only one bishop able to resonate strongly apostolic voice of truth and to shame the wicked criminals, saving souls in danger from the fire of hell? What purpose does it serve, be bishops, then when they make similar petty figures? What is this shameful inaction, This fear of failure, This carnal prudence, This reprehensible inaction, This guilty silence and this foul sloth?

.

In our different but similar experience of preachers and confessors, we Fathers de The Island of Patmos we found many times more parresia evangelical and critical acumen in the words of some cloistered nuns, that does not in some trombones and fugitives bishops who do not see and do not feel, Hidden somewhere behind the scenes to send back the others to throw in their place, often, also real poisonous stabs.

.

St. Caterina da Siena, turning to the Roman Pontiff, begs him to establish good shepherds, because they are good shepherds that make good the flock. So they do the real reform of the Church. If the pastor fact silent before the vices of the flock and does not correct them - observes the Holy Senese with fine psychology -, It is a bad sign: it is a sign that the pastor is hindered by the discomfort of his conscience, who reminds him that he is entangled in those sins from which should free the faithful.

.

Today more than ever appear topical and utilities for our shepherds calls and the calls of the great biblical prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, as a reproach:

.

"His watchmen are blind, They do not notice anything. They are all dumb dogs, they can not bark; crouching doze» [Is 56,10].

.

Pastors have neglected the flock. Then God himself cares directly with his Spirit, arousing courageous laity, so pastors are shaken from their slumber and do their duty:

.

"The Lord said: You have scattered my flock, and you are driven them away and have not you worried; there, I'll take care of you and the evil of your doings. I myself will gather the rest of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them and will bring them again to their folds; they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will set up shepherds over them that enable them to graze, so they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed; of them did not even miss a » [Gives 23,1-4].

.

The Lord rebukes the shepherds for their neglect. He himself then, through good laypeople and priests, docile to the Holy Spirit, directly takes care of the flock, but by that very fact it encourages pastors to do their duty:

.

"I am against the shepherds: I ask them on behalf of my flock and I will not let them longer graze my flock, so the shepherds shall feed themselves any more, but I tear their mouths, and my sheep will no longer be their meal. For thus saith the Lord God: there, I myself will look after my sheep, and will care. As a shepherd seeks out his flock, when in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so I will review my sheep and gather them from all the places where they were scattered in the cloudy and dark. ... I will seek the lost one, bring back the stray; I bandage the wounded and make the weak; I will take care of the fat and the strong I will feed them with justice " [This 34,10-12; 16].

.

We should remember, then the shepherds the stern warning of Christ:

.

"Whoever is ashamed of me in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels " [MC 8,38].

.

You can reduce a bishop in sad monkeys in a cage ?

.

a lovable little monkey sad

And remember, the reigning Pontiff, how prudent and Universal, His recent predecessors, They have chosen and selected the new bishops and cardinals. In both Auditors they were called and chosen men who represented all the different faces of the Church. Or in terms of sociological and journalistic that we do not like, but in any case useful to be understood by all: Augusti under the pontificates of Blessed Pope Paul VI, the Holy Father Giovanni Paolo II and Pope Benedict XVI Venerable, with commendable and wise balance bishops were consecrated and elevated to the rank of Cardinal men belonging to the different currents of the Church. We had so, and we have seen live and work together, also often switched between debates and theological clashes, bishops and cardinals progressive area, conservative or so-called traditionalist, always use these misnomers but understandable.

.

Today it seems rather to assist episcopacy of the sad monkeys in a cage. Almost all the bishops elected in the last four years, They are painful and clones and emulators sub-mediocre - or so-called monkeys - the reigning Pontiff, all caught up in a frantic race to talk about poor, of refugees and soli juice. In competition with each other to promote study meetings on the great Luther "reformer" and the value of his "reform". In competition with each other organizers in their cathedral churches lunch for the poor who face the blow of newspapers and television. All in procession with the wooden pastoral product in carpentry, competing in those sports the most "humble pectoral cross" and "poor". In short: today, a bishop, much less it would be ashamed to come to the plenary assembly of the bishops accompanied by two Ukrainian fashion models in miniskirts and transparent clothes, rather than wear a “shameful” gold pectoral cross, which also symbolizes always, such as metal, the incorruptibility of faith.

.

Having created this, It has led to kill the size of the plurality of the same collegiality, plunging the Church into provincialism and applying surreal socio-political categories of people that do not correspond to the great universal breath of the reality of God's People. A style, this, certainly not worthy of a man of extraordinary genius and ability as he could be, and as it was a Stalin, but unfortunately a style worthy of the worst and most provincial dictators the history of Latin America. And who with leveling down kills the episcopate, kills Church, and little worth then assert, in private conversations: "My hands are tied", because the day when Christ hands slegherà them to him and say, "Now show me your palms», will definitely pain, great pains, before the Tremendous majesty, which it will be very difficult to answer … “But I am poor and merciful”.

    Very true and relevant, but the digression on the laity all imbeccati by obscure complottardi chasing porpore I know very convoluted. Some figure like that exist as well, and you have a lot more information about me that I do not, but a layman who loves the Church, to realize and deprecate certain distortions, just catechism.
    Ardiamo from receiving light from the Pope, and yet it seems to grope in a dense smoke that is not cigarettes (ask the Blessed Paul VI). E’ El true that the Pope's words, in majority, They can be interpreted in a Catholic, but the face of such difficult chance, it would be quite desirable it reunites Pope be silent ? There is already clear the perennial teaching of the Church, because they dilute and obscure, under the spotlight and the applause of “false friends” ?

      Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo says:

      dear fabio,

      I share the inappropriateness of what happened, but it must at the same time say that prayer is not and can not be a tool of protest. As the liturgy can not be a pretext for other purposes, and in this regard is sufficient to remember how many times, certi preti, in electoral environment, They have changed the pulpits in political forums.

      • fabriziogiudici says:

        It's true, Don Ariel, Prayer can not be a tool of protest. But apparently this was not the intention. Interviewed by ChurchMilitant, one of the participants said that it was the spirit of testimony and repair the outrage was being done:

        We didn’t do it in a spirit of polemics towards faithful priests, just in a spirit of reparation and resistance against profanation and celebration of a revolt against the Holy Catholic Church.

        Obviously, the limit of these spontaneous initiatives, born without a particular coordination, It is that everyone can go with their intentions… and it is said that they are always the right ones. Even the great Polish Rosary can be interpreted in different ways. But when the hierarchical Church is in disarray, This phenomenon seems to me inevitable.

        very expensive, I considered that an authentic witness of the Catholic faith … mariana, not a protest.
        In times of confusion and religious promiscuity, the Ave Marie cattolicissime can only be good.

      Dear Orenzo,

      Father Giovanni Cavalcoli has already covered the topic in this article [WHO]

        Strange: the statement that I linked is dated 31.10.2017 (today) while the comment P. Cavalcoli says the declaration last year.

        I refer in particular to the words:
        “Catholics and Lutherans believe that these paths should be supported and encouraged in order to stimulate a RETHINK OF CATECHESIS IN KEY ECUMENICAL, ESPECIALLY IN CONNECTION WITH THE CELEBRATION OF THE BAPTISM OF MARRIAGE and, more generally, the ecumenical liturgies of reconciliation, so help you live these moments in the life of local communities as an opportunity… able to help a better understanding of their own identity, making it more vibrant and meaningful mission of the Church.”

        But if for Lutherans
        – Baptism does not erase the original sin but simply covers it so that sin remains invincible lust
        – and marriage is not a sacrament but it is something profane and can be dissolved,
        – Ecumenical catechesis which is invoked by today's document concerning baptism and marriage?

        … always hoping that with “ecumenical liturgies of reconciliation” not alluding to the Eucharist in common…

    Dear don Ariel, Attention: the dictator you indicated with reference to Wikipedia is one of Equatorial Guinea, not the infamous Sekou Touré of Guinea, pure and simple.
    Kind regards

      Dear Iginio,

      le sono molto grato.
      The link was made by the editors and I was not aware that it was not Sekou Toure, because I had not opened.
      I try to correct it.

    Bergoglio is not there by accident. Decisions are made with his signature with his approval. But it is not one who thinks differently from modernist Bishops Conferences. Of course, not being homosexual, probably he does not have great pleasure in naming bishops or to accept their power. On this point I can figure out who has their hands tied. It did not happen only to him. But on the doctrine and pastoral it is not less than other Modernist. To Buenos Aires, according to several witnesses-I think I have also written a book- allow communion to divorced and cohabiting to all cohabitants. AL has written him. The statements of Luther has made him. The statements of Hell and Purgatory were pronounced him at the hearing on Wednesday. I understand this is difficult to dissolve the Jesuits or scomunicarne the top for incredible claims of hell and the Gospels: but a strong intervention it could do. If it does not, and why, at the bottom of, except perhaps a few details, think like p.Sosa.

    but when, in commenting on the passage of Mt 22,1-14, listening to a sermon in which, after specifying that
    “… Many guests have said no, because they were taken from their interests: 'They paid no attention and went off to his field, another to his business "… they did not think that the wedding were sad or boring, but simply "they paid no attention": They were diverted from their interests, They preferred to have something rather than get involved, like love requires. Here's how you keep their distance love, not out of malice, but because they prefer their own: le sicurezze, self-affirmation, comforts…”,

    states that God
    “… in front of the continuous waste that receives, before the closures towards his invitations, Go on, do not see the party. Not resigned, but continues to invite. Faced with the "no", not slamming the door, but still it includes more. It gave, in the face of injustice, He responds with a greater love… while he is suffering for our "no", continues however to revive, It goes on to prepare well for the evil-doer. Because so is the love, He makes love; because the only way to overcome evil…”,

    I can not but be perplexed.
