Cardinal Kasper and idiot profit paradigm

CARDINAL KASPER AND THE PARADIGM OF THE’USEFUL IDIOT

I offer my sincere esteem to Cardinal Kasper whose theology and ecumenism I do not at all share, but whose fidelity to his idea of ​​Pietro, pushed to the point of offering himself to the public slaughter as a target practice, I appreciate, in this poor Church of ours which looks more and more like a amusement park where no one controls who enters and who exits and in which the roller coaster is now free of technical maintenance, without all this, however, erodes our assurance of faith: the gates of hell will never prevail over the Church founded on the rock of Peter, to whom Christ gave the keys of the kingdom [CF. Mt 16, 18].

QED …

After the release of the libretto by Cardinal Walter Kasper, in which the cardinal celebrates the praises of the heresiarch Luther and of Protestantism, I propose again on the columns ofPatmos Island one of the first articles written shortly after the opening of our online magazine. Perhaps it is worth mentioning that when I published and wrote about some two years ago useful nonsense, ran the 19 October 2014, as anyone can check from our archive, where all our writings are collected in order of date. I was really wrong? [ 7 June 2016 ]

USEFUL-IDIOTS-150x150

one, none or one hundred thousand?

That of "useful idiot" is not a term abusive because if it were, I would not dare use them, all the more towards a bishop like Cardinal Walter Kasper, famous theologian whose cristologia and ecclesiology we can discuss, species in this church so free, collegial and democratic in which Alberto Melloni seems only to be granted a right of thought, of speech and expression, up to go to Catholic bullshitting without restraint directly at the Masonic Lodges [cf. My previous article, who, who, who], happy to host not so much the "builders of peace" [CF. Mt 1, 5-10] that this work will be blessed Christological, but the de-builders of the Church, for this very welcome to the Masons today do not attack us more directly from outside but from inside.

.

The term of purely political "useful idiot" that nothing, I repeat, has in common with the concept of human idiocy, those loyalists who were mentioned in the countries of the West defended in all ways and at all costs the Soviet regime, even against the evidence of the facts. And of this, the true champions, were not the placid Italian communists from the sacristy, but hardened communists French and Spanish.

ET, Michelangelo, Judgement and … the Vaticanists

In the days preceding the opening of the Synod on the Family I've read many accounts of real or alleged vaticanologi, I have isolated their words by certain ecclesiastical dramas going on and I allowed myself a smile, because these characters in the immediate present paralyzed and unable to understand what heavy and ironic give feedback on them tomorrow history, are becoming more similar to ufologists discussing extraterrestrial aliens and visits to our planet, exercising their sacrosanct right to alienate the tragic ecclesial reality in corso. For the time being the only ones to get out of this chorus of flatterers by Kominform [see who] seem to be Marco Tosatti [see who] e Sandro Magister [see who].

.

In certain events that escapes is to practice the obvious: Cardinal Kasper fully deserves the loyalty bonus, because lending itself as useful idiot - and again I repeat: always within the meaning of the word used in the political sense totally flattering - is making a great service, offering to the attacks of various fringes of the Catholic world, of various theologians and not least to the objections expressed gracefully theological everything from a group of cardinals and scholars who have just published a book that examines some burning questions that have formed the subject of discussion at the Synod on the Family [who].

Cardinal Walter Kasper

From the ongoing affair, that Cardinal Kasper is making out of it? It is a bishop of the Catholic Church, is a cardinal elector no longer octogenarian, President Emeritus of the Pontifical Secretariat, theologian appreciated and rigorously imposed as the only verb in certain theological studies full of all the worst modernist and pro-Protestant heresies, that is, almost all of the existing ones… so it has very little to lose, little or nothing to gain, as opposed to other bishops always on the track instead groped no longer know how to please the Supreme Pontiff in a desperate attempt to get him the benefits and promotions …

We seek to be clear: Latin Americans respect the authorities provided it is united and moved by profound authority. If one confronts the typical Latin American in a decisive and determined way, if you want even with a respectful but light touch of authority, there are two solutions: or that reacts ammazzandoti, upand reacts by loving you. However, if you choose to love you, at that point he will be ready to be to get killed if someone were to dare to touch him in whom he recognized all the trappings of masculinity and power of the man who deserves as such all the more indefatigable than. And as we all know, today, one of these typical psychologies sits on the Chair of Peter.

.

Who agrees with Cardinal Kasper, tends to tacere, as agreed and just; those who do not is, attacks him. And ever when it comes to gentle attacks prelatizi, that it is settled practice of certain members of the College of Cardinals before addentarti with the bite of the cobra you sprinkle the anesthetic to bite, everything is alright; however, when it comes to certain hard and pure Catholics or certain blogs and sites in the so-called ultra-traditionalist area, they don't even know where that respect always due to a bishop and a collaborator of the Roman Pontiff lives, things change somewhat, because in this case the German cardinal was overwhelmed by insults in which the slightest offense was that of "apostasy from the faith".

.

I have some experience of life lived in the midst of the Latin American, from my closest and valuable contributor, and one thing with which I have learned to familiarize yourself is this: for a discussion of culture and custom tend not to act in a direct way, but in an indirect way. Other times it happens that the things that they say they would like to say to other. All this to protect their authority figure, the person or persons subject to certain thoughts and expressions, then to preserve the serenity of the relationship between them, the person or persons.

The Pied Piper

Let's try to analyze the obvious: it may be that the Holy Father has favored a real crawl space through an intermediary for the astute purpose of bringing out the rats in the open like the Pied Piper, to see who was in favor and who was against the hypothesis of certain discussions on delicate issues discussed in recent days at the synod on the family? It is my hypothesis, fperegrine bears, but it is worth reflecting on what, nothing else to give me wrong. In the event, however, was so, appear obvious to what extent the Holy Father could not have been put forward himself in the first person, because in this case no, in this climate of clerical cowardice, would never have come into the open [cf. My previous article, who], from the great defenders of the historical "non-negotiable values", but when they had to choose between certain non-negotiability and the possibility of finally reaching a prestigious bishopric, they promptly mitigated both the language is the fighting spirit, hiding behind the finger of spurious prudence; and in the face of his own interest or the possibility that made him see or hope purple red, if necessary they have become masters of negotiation even on “non-negotiable values”, rather: above all, on “non-negotiable values”.

I have much to disagree with on Cardinal Kasper's theology and on its ecumenism, from which I believe that only the deleterious Catholic-Protestantism can arise over time, place under the lines its reference points tend to be Kant and Hegel, over the onnipotente Rahner, with an eye of sympathy for the heretic Küng. I feel, however, to say how much I appreciate him more of certain fringes which now represent only the alleged Catholic tradition of themselves and that of their loved ones and untouchables ghettos they started to growl at the dog, while others instead of pretending not to know who is the master and the dog took off the muzzle telling: "Come on Fido, barks! I want to see who will answer, but above all as. Then, in time and place, I'll think of it, perhaps in the way that no one can imagine ... ".

How many bishops and cardinals, from the tireless defenders of sound doctrine and values ​​are not negotiable, in his capacity as members of the Apostolic College, it crossed my mind to make that obvious which is also indicated with extreme clarity in the Gospel? And the obvious Christian and apostolic to do this would be: go to Antioch, ie in the Vatican, to the Casa di Santa Marta, clothed with manhood Pauline, take the Prince of the Apostles and ask: "Look here, 'Peter, you want to explain to your devoted and obedient brother apostles who share the honor and burden of the episcopate with you, what games certain fringes increasingly restless are trying to play under your eyes? Assuming they play under your eyes and it is not you who make them move like pawns?» [CF. Gal 1-2,7.14].

The apostle John on Patmos

THE APOSTLE John on Patmos

the, Giovanni, your brother and companion in tribulation, in the kingdom and patience of Christ, I was on the island called Patmos because of the Word of God and the testimony given to Jesus [AP 1, 9]

Author John Cavalcoli OP

Author
Giovanni Cavalcoli, ON

As is well known on the island of Patmos, archipelago of Greece, is linked to the exile of John the Evangelist, Auto dell'Apoca127143422smooth, which begins precisely in his paper with the following words: "I, Giovanni, your brother and companion nshe tribulation, in the kingdom and patience of Christ, I was on the island called Patmos because of the word of DI and the testimony of Jesus " [AP 1,9].

The Apostle John has experienced the sufferings that Christ provides for those who will follow him and that he himself has suffered giving us the example and at the same time providing us with courage, patience, consolation and comfort, when Jesus warns us that the disciples will be retested and will suffer injustice and abuse of power by the civil and religious authorities, will be slandered, marginalized, betrayed and abandoned by relatives and friends because of the Gospel. But they must be regarded as blessed, why suffer the same who have suffered the prophets and the Son of Man [CF. Mt 5, 10-12].

The figure of '"exile" in opposition to the "homeland" is traditional in Christian symbolism: the man, driven out of Paradise, now lives in a land of exile, some created by God and not devoid of beauty, but also beset by many evils and miseries.

depiction of the expulsion from Paradise

The Christian life involves, therefore, the prospect of reaching the true home in heaven serenely accepting exile and in preparing it for entry into the true homeland of eternal life. As we know, this issue for which we now live in a nether world, in which we have fallen after a takeover original, detaching from the gods, is not absent even in certain ancient pagan wisdom, as for example in Plato, in Plotinus, Gnosticism and the same in Indian philosophy.

The difference with Christianity is given by the fact that while these visions Pagan dualistic, why the disgrace of the human spirit is to be dropped in the matter - which therefore should be abandoned in order to achieve the pure spirituality - in the Christian conception, which still houses a primacy of the spirit over body, also the material world this is basically good and created by God, why should not so much be abandoned, almost is bad in itself, but rather must be freed from evil. This is what is taught by the dogma of the resurrection of the flesh.

686865_John-w-arkAs you know John wrote the Apocalypse in Patmos to comfort the Christians and the Church in their trials and suffering for the Word of God. What is the meaning dedicate this site to the place where the Apostle and Evangelist gave us an example of that his heroic fidelity to the Lord?

The founders of the site: Monsignor Antonio Livi, Father Ariel S. Levi and I Gualdo, intend to resume and apply to the present the message of John and put under his patronage and intercession of our initiative, proven in the certainty that even in the Church today - and perhaps now more than ever - those Catholics who want to live the fullness of their faith and their ecclesial communion with the Church and with the Successor of Peter are in the apocalyptic message of the Word of God the light to understand the situation that the Church is living and the wisdom and the strength to live today by faithful sons of the Church.

end of the world

nuclear explosion

The term apocalyptic in the vulgar language recalls the idea of ​​huge upheaval, calamities and disasters; but biblical scholars know that apocalyptic simply means scriptural reference to the book of Revelation, which prophesies certainly those frightening events, but in a very specific theological key, that has nothing to do with the defeatist morbid taste for the horrible and cataclysmic end in themselves; and even for a pessimistic doom, that she is aware of the values ​​and good sides of today's Church, and the elements of hope that are provided by Providence.

the Neapolitan jinxThen we have nothing to do with those "prophets of doom, bitter and amareggianti, terrified and terrifying, desperate and despairing, to which St. John XXIII warned the Church in his famous keynote speech Mother Church rejoices opening of the Second Vatican Council of 11 October 1962 [who, who].

It is true that the biblical prophet and prophecy in general in the history of the Church often denounce the sins and injustices, which will be followed by the divine punishment; it is true that the evils and misfortunes that they identify and highlight them are presented as effects of infidelity Alliance, without fear and disgust with what stand against the powerful, doers, government officials and civil priestly, until sometimes pay with their lives that their courageous denunciation. But it is equally true that the false prophets are those who say, for pure self-interest or fear, that everything is okay not to irritate the powerful, and the crimes remain unpunished so.

The most urgent need of the church today, in our opinion, is that of harmony and mutual cooperation among Catholics on the basis of the one faith kept by the Successor of Peter. The Second Vatican Council, the name says it all, came to reconcile the opposing factions. It therefore indicates the path of unity and peace, in justice and truth. But unfortunately it happened that as the immediate post-conciliar Catholics were divided into two parties, lefebvriani and modernists, in conflict with each other and both claimants to the authenticity of being Catholic.

Undoubtedly, the Church itself remains a, as this is a necessary factor of its essence. This unity is realized in the communion of saints, that is, those who are in communion visible or invisible grace between them, participation in the explicit or implicit to the medesunity of the Churchimi sacraments and obedience to the Supreme Pontiff, express or implied. They reject the extremists on both sides, though in each of these values ​​exist and a partial communion with the Church. But the problem today is to join to the fact that values ​​are partial agocts per se to create a unique synthesis and a single body that is the Church in the fullness of its elements, of its charisms and its factors. Instead, the opposite parties, of a cache of the values ​​of the Church, opposed to the other one starts, rather than merge them together in a harmonious whole that that is precisely the Church. Thus for example the preservation must be combined with progress and change with the perennial, Tradition with Scripture, distinguendo the knowledge faithful, that continually progresses, by 'object of faith that, as divine truth, is fixed and immutable. In this way, you avoid both a rigid fixity that a relativistic theory of evolution.

The point of contention between the two parties is the interpretation of the Council, for which both believe to find a discontinuity with the previous Magisterium, for the fact that the council would have assumed in toto the modernity that until tollora the Church had fought: therefore a change in doctrinal, assume that what was rejected and condemned.

In lefebvriani and modernists this interpretation because of two opposing effects or insert in two opposing panels REFERENCEent: for Lefebvre, the Council would betray Tradition, changed the essence of the Church, and assumed the errors of Modernism already condemned by St. Pius X [see who]. Hence the refusal of Lefebvre's doctrines images.php-001the new Council judged false for not say heretical. They believe, therefore, of having to refuse appealing directly to Tradition, that the post-conciliar Papacy would leave to be swayed by the errori of the modern world [among the numerous examples, see who]. For their part, the modernists have understood the intention of the Council of proporre an updated and modern Catholicism, but there has been the belief that the Church with the Council has finally taken, after centuries of closure, senseless sentences and sterile polemic, the values ​​of modernity, for which you must deny or change or abandon the dogmas defined in the past. But for what the modernists do not make any problem, because according to them the Magisterium of the Church is not infallible, there is no unchanging truth, but it is always relative to the historical evolution and the diversity of cultures. There is nothing fixed and stable, and tutto speech ends, Everything is in flux, everything is relative. God himself becomes. Believe that there is something that does not change, mean vain and foolishly cling to that which inexorably changes and disappears, what is no longer present, means to retain what no longer serves, it does not say anything and is overtaken by history.

What was false yesterday for the modernists is true today and not to be left behind in the march of history, you have to be to today, not tfeeding_dominici-001adorn the last. The truth is what the world thinks today, no matter if in contrast with what we thought yesterday, because today it is more advanced than yesterday. There are no values ​​to recover lost, but you must always advance towards nuwin ove. There is no need to check if the new reflects the true; the truth is just the new one as new. Fromnque, for the modernist doctrinal progress normally involves quite contradictions with previous teaching jobsinstitutions of the Church. It is in the bottom of the Hegelian scheme of becoming. So for them in the past, the Church is wrong and finally with the Council has corrected its errors, long denounced by reformers of the past, as for example Luther. For this ecumenism is not understood by the modernists in harmony with the preservation of the Catholic dogmas integral, but as the host of the doctrines of the brothers sepplowed that in the past, especially the Council of Trent, were condemned by the Church. So there is no need to have any scruples to abandon or at least to relativize those Catholic dogmas which are not recognized by the Protestants.

This affinity that the modernists have with Protestants He porta, in imitation of Luther, to promote the knowledge of Scripture and the Christian message, as well as theological progress regardless of the Magisterium, but by appealing directly to the Bible or to modern exegetes, Protestants also, as well as Lefebvre criticized the Council's teaching by appealing directly to the Tradition. So is the one that others bypass the Magisterium and placed on top of it, and found them, rather than - as they should if they were true Catholics - docility and confidently through the mediation of the Magisterium of the interpretation of Scripture and Tradition.

But there is this difference between modernists and lefebvriani, that while they have no scruples to challenge certain doctrines of the Council which they consider outdated or backward, as well as any other teaching of the Church according to their dogmatic evolutionism, Lefebvre at least know how to preserve with care the dogmas of the past, However, only up to the Council, after which, according to them, the Magisterium would have degenerated, so that they feel compelled to keep the "tradition" against the Magisterium itself.

island of currents

Island of the Currents in the south eastern tip of Sicily, where they meet the currents of the three seas of the Italian peninsula

That in the Church there may be two currents, a traditionalist healthily, more sensitive to the preservation of the most sacred values ​​and perennials, as for example those of the liturgy, ed un'altra, more careful historical element, development and progress of the dogma of the Christian life, current that we might call "progressive", is something completely normal, useful and even necessary to the integrity and smooth operation and funziration of the Church in her human and social. In fact, these two currents, If rEstaño within orthodoxy and ecclesiastical discipline, are specially made to complement each other and to work together in the promotion of the one faith and the one charity. Instead become hostile to each other when they divide the Church, out of ambition, presumption, or need to take center stage, protrude from the right faith, by a common obedience to the Pope and the observance of the same discipline and ecclesial charity. Must therefore ensure that lefebvriani and modernists, like brothers in faith, reach an agreement on the common basis of that Catholicism means that although all profess. E 'dunque urgent, really bringing the Council, highlight what can foster dialogue and agreement, factor which ultimately is summed, in short, in a sincere full acceptance of the Magisterium of the Church, noting in particular the fact that the doctrines of the Council implement a progress in the continuity.

… Besame mucho

The modernisyou must therefore love a healthy renouncing modernity to modernism, while the Lefebvrians is not prohibited, rather it is greatly commendable, maintain a special esteem for Tradition, to condition, however, to understand that the Council did not betray it at all, ma the conferma, interprets and develops. OCCorre also that both parties recognize the values ​​in the other and waives the right to be considered as the one of being comfortableChurch and excluding or disregarding the other.

This our online magazine modestly but honestly intends to contribute to this valuable outreach work reciproco and peace, in order to make the Church today a more credible witness to the world of salvation that Christ has given us.

Il teologo Svizzero Hans Küng, in its long history the human and intellectual, he never abandoned his "dress scene", that is the "bad teacher" at odds with the authentic magisterium of the Catholic Church. His favorite themes are those who yesterday were replicated by the Archbishop of Milan, cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, and today they are vulgarized pseudo-prophetic literature of Enzo Bianchi. Are the reform of the Church, the abolition of papal primacy, a "new" moral addressed to implement the "sexual revolution" sessantottino - mold Freudian-Marxist -, granting the priesthood to women, l'euthanasia. Lately Küng, ill with Parkinson's, has come to announce the intention to use it himself assisted suicide, in imitation of Cardinal Martini.

Küng's career started in the sixties with significant interventions in the preparatory phase of the Second. With the tempo andar, its positions open to contestation have found more and more space in newspapers, with articles or interviews focused on this or that topic, thus gaining a significant reputation not only in the theological circles, but also among the general public. One of the joints of his battle and controversy was and is the virulent challenge encyclical Human life of Paul VI: ideal sacramental - and therefore certainly divine, but for this very mysterious - the family and procreation Christian Küng is reduced by a restoration of medieval, up to accuse the document Pauline and subsequent claims of the popes on the topic, "The main cause of the spread of AIDS in the world".

The controversy of Küng, in the years, invested primarily the pontificate of John Paul II St. [see who, who, who] and then Benedict XVI [see who, who] the first considered reactionary, the second even schismatic. But it is the blessed Paul VI, the pope who brought to fruition the Vatican, raged the controversy of the Swiss theologian, who could not tolerate his genuine insight reform of the Council, as opposed to an interpretation misleading - because historicist and humanistic - that was leveraging the "council of mass media», how keenly he had to say, then Benedict XVI.

The Rev. Prof. Hans Küng in a picture of maturity

Küng is the inventor of the conceptual frameworks that govern the many revolutionary proposals advanced in recent months by theologians and representatives of the worldwide on the occasion of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family called by Pope Francis. It will therefore be instructive to draw a doctrinal ecclesiology of the Swiss theologian. The ecclesiology of Hans Küng in fact deserves to be well known today because it has no theological weight marginal, indeed is precisely the philosophical-religious ideology dominant in the Catholic. The conceptual categories and the main sources of literature are those of the Lutheran Reformation and the religious philosophy of the matrix Lutheran, represented by the system in the nineteenth century idealism of Georg Friedrich Hegel and in the twentieth century by the "dogma of the Church" - the ecclesiastical Dogmatics — Karl Barth. The cornerstones of this philosophical-religious ideology are represented by historicism and dialectics immanentistic. The Catholic Church is thus interpreted as a historic moment of the dialectic of the Spirit - understood, this, not so much as the Agion Pneuma of Catholic dogma but rather as "the ghost» by Hegel —, which aims at a development in the near future that will see, as a first step, the removal of doctrinal barriers between Catholics and Protestants - with the full acceptance of the Lutheran view of "justification by grace alone" - and the creation of a single "Church of Christ" (ecumenism). In the end, as the second and final stage, the establishment of a "universal Church" based solely on ethical-political (the 'Weltethik»). This ideology permeates today, clearly identifiable as background a careful conceptual analysis, most of the proposals, doctrinal or pastoral, Catholic theologians most prominent, cominciare and Karl Rahner, that the same Hans Küng considers a master in theology and a model adopting Hegel's dialectic (1).

These teoil_falso_profeta (1)logi Catholics, many of whom became bishops, exerted a well-documented influence on the work of Vatican II, to then assume the role (arbitrary) the only authoritative interpreters of the Council in the next fiftyO, up to, today, the preparation and conduct of the work of the Synod on the possible changes to the dual prasis pastoral in relation to the problems of families.

A prominent figure of this theological current was Cardinal Walter Kasper, supported by most of the German and Italian by other theologians became cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi as Dionigi Tettamanzi and. His argument most characteristic, in line with the proposals of the theological-moral Hans Küng, is the need to accelerate the process of reform of the Church with a stronger adaptation to the moral conscience of the "men of our time" and alignment with the practice of ecclesial communities Protestant and Orthodox. In his speeches Leitmotiv is the need to de-dogmatise the Catholic Church, starting with a new pastoral family is separate and independent from the doctrine on the sacraments, temporarily not abolished but kept aloof (2). In Italy, the ideology of ecclesiological Hans Küng, especially as regards "ecumenical", is disclosed and constantly revived by Enzo Bianchi, "Prior" of the community of Bose, much heard by the majority of bishops and even the Holy See (3).

CATHOLIC CHURCH

 

To understand well, in its theoretical and its practical implications, the ecclesiology of Hans Küng, it is essential to mention some biographical data, on the basis of the Swiss theologian works in which he narrated the process of his intellectual formation (4). From these data will be very clearly the nature Lutheran-idealistic reformers of his intentions and his ideal of Catholic Church life, based on its particular conception of the priesthood and pastoral, present in all his work, from the youth Justification the works of his maturity as Does God exist? and the "manifesto" conclusive "future Church", namely the Project Weltethos.

Hans Küng, born in 1928, is formed in a setting where you practice done some "inter-religious dialogue", by the contact quotidiyear, in the same class, with Catholics, Protestants and Jews (5). Although he had thought of becoming an architect medicoo, "Tended to something that was both more spiritual and more practical, more useful to young, so he decided to become a Catholic priest and theologian » (6). In following, these trends will become much more pronounced, that will have more resonance and evidence in its production. The show works like Truthfulness e Being a Christian, and then his activity in Rome as chaplain of employees and Sursee as a preacher in hospital (7).

Rome, the historic entrance of the Pontifical Germanic-Hungarian College

Arriving in Rome, In the 1948, Küng comes as a seminarian at the Pontifical German College and studied philosophy and theology at the Gregorian University. The Germanic, in those years, There were scholars such as Emerich Coreth, William Klein, W. Core, all engaged in the study of Hegel's Philosophy. Just at that time, In the 1952, Coreth had published an essay, titled The dialectical Being in Hegel's Logic. As stated in the same Küng, from him he learned to interpret the priestly spirituality and pastoral zeal in dialectical terms and storicistici, in frontal opposition with the doctrinal directives of the Magisterium of Pius XII, which included the recommendation not to abandon metaphysics and logic inherent in the Catholic theological tradition:

wilhelmklein

Father Wilhelm Klein

"He probably would not have lasted in those seven years without my spiritual father to the German College, Father Wilhelm Klein, which - prepared by a multiple activities as a professor of philosophy, as Provincial of the Jesuit Province of Northern Germany and as a visitor to the Society of Jesus from Scandinavia to Japan - carrying a horizon of views rare and very large […]. He was also the man who first made me careful about many philosophical and theological problems burning. I spoke with him especially of Hegel and then Karl Barth. And at first I showed him my brief theological manuscripts, that redigevo alone and that he mostly before he cut down in the most cutting edge and then force me to really think about a dialectical, that included already in the synthesis of the opposite " (8).

And it was Klein who led "Decisively" the young Küng to choose as a topic of doctoral thesis theology Barth. In another book, Küng, thanked for his help in drafting the text, remembers with gratitude Coreth, Small, Kern as his "venerable masters to the Germanic-Hungarian College in Rome», that, along with others, "I have given suggestions decisive for my theology in general and for the understanding of Hegel in particular ' (9).

Over the years, ranging from 1951 on Küng is mainly dedicated to the study of dialectical theology of Barth, and the theologian draws in Basel 1955 the licentiate thesis under the guidance of one of his professors160_160Karl_Barth of dogmatics at the Gregorian, ie Maurizio Flick, who would later become famous for his theory on the reduction of the dogma of original sin to a mere myth of origins. And Barth Küng recognizes then be grateful for having allowed to range overere the properly theological significance of Hegel's philosophy, then erasing not only the distinction between theology Catholic and Lutheran theology but also between theology and philosophy. Justification. The Doctrine of Karl Barth and a Catholic reflection is the first work of Küng and demonstrates the passion with which the theologians of Tübingen he devoted himself to assimilate the barthiano thought in the seven-year stay at the Collegio Germanico; the same Karl Barth wanted to emphasize then publicly:

"My joy comes first of all from the opening and the firmness with which she, at the German College in Rome […] as well as the brave fellow he studied my books and made it clear to himself dialectically the theological phenomenon that riscontrava » (10).

Another author passionately studied was de Lubac, then in the middle of the inevitable controversy for his book Supernatural. Historical studies (Paris 1946) that questioned the traditional doctrine about the gratuity of the supernatural. Such disputes, together with those on other issues relating to polygenism, evolutionism, to communism, led to the resolute stance of Pius XII in his encyclical The human race (1950). The Catholic scholar Antonio Russo, University of Trieste, admirer of Henri de Lubac, and therefore very understanding in regards to Küng, paints bleak the situation doctrinal, pastoral and discipline in the pre-conciliar Church, identifying with the vision of the Church that was typical of the progressives, and with them the young seminarian Swiss Hans Küng:

"In those same years, then, the spiritual atmosphere prevailing in Rome is anything but open to new. Magazines such as La Civiltà Cattolica host not infrequently articles as Perennial vitality of the Papacy; Action pacificatri519yx8Tqv1Lce of the Papacy in old age; Peacemaking and charitable of the Papacy in the age contemporanea; The Vatican beacon of cultural progress. Excommunicate the Communists and those who offer their support; and announce solemn pilgrimages, acts of devotion to Mary and "enthusiasm even plebiscitary"; proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Year of 1950, the Marian Year of 1954. The young theologian, Anyway, lived continuously in contact with both the "Roman theology" with both the spiritual and cultural environment of the Germanic, being uncomfortable and threatening to wreck his Roman conversio. So much so that his readings are oriented towards the deepening of positions and authors such as Hegel, De Lubac, but especially of Karl Barth, the study of which will shape it in a sustainable way, because the open "access to evangelical theology ", pushing to get passionate for theology » (11).

As sKung_Hans_01i Sciences, the influence received from Küng in the early years of its formation is decidedly Lutheran mold, and Lutheran is the conception of the Church and of ecclesial theology from the beginning that orients his studies. The result is a theological method, which proceeds from the substantial elimination of the Magisterium of the Church – especially the Pontificalor - as a basis for the scientific interpretation of the faith. Even the concrete life of the Church - the liturgy, popular piety - is seen as "outside", as something to be overcome or eliminated altogether because appartenent to the "Church of the past ', that should leave room for the "Church of the Future".

Küng warns a bitter annoyance to Marian devotion that the Church professes and practice, and conseguentmariatempioance with is brought to devalue, not only of popular devotion but also a solemn dogmatic as that of the 1954 relative to the Assumption into Heaven, in body and soul, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Having disconoscithe UTO The power of teaching of the hierarchical Church, Küng instead of the Magisterium adopted as the guiding principle for theology, ie for the interpretation of what Küng always calls "the christlischer faith» (more "the Catholic faith»), the thought of Karl Barth Lutheran, which in turn introduces Küng to a practice of theology inspired exclusively to the Hegelian dialectic.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEOLOGICAL

ADOPTION OF Dialectic

HEGELIANA

It should be noted at this point that these methodological premises make the discourse on Church done by Küng is not exactly theological: none of his thesis can be considered - from a point of view rigorously critical-epistemological - as a hypothesis scientifically admissible, like one theological quaestio held, because the method he follows is by no means typical of ecclesial theology but rather to a "threadcopj170.aspsofia religious ", in the precise sense that I give to this term in my treatise on True and false theology (12). and that the thought of Küng is to be considered mere "religious philosophy" is determined not only by the fact that is inspired by Hegel's dialectic - which reduces explicitly Christian theology to philosophy, and this one "Phenomenology of the Spirit» (13) – , but also by the fact that even the thought of Barth transcends the narrow methodological limitations of the "religious philosophy"; indeed, as I reiterated in a dialogue with the epistemological Brunero Gherardini (14), the assumption of a Lutheran "Sola Scriptura», with the exclusion a priori of the Magisterium from the scientific determination of the object of theology (what else can it be but the faith of the Church), means that what the scholar calls "the christlischer faith"The"the word of god"Remains undetermined, or otherwise determined only by subjective choices, and then reduced to data obtainable only from the uncertain phenomenology of individual consciousness or historical-Community, that which is entrusted to interpret Scripture without the need for an ecclesiastical magisterium. Now, you can not develop a science without a clear determination of its specific object, which then depends on the adoption of the method more appropriate to interpret. A theology that does not have as its object the faith of the Church (and not the "feeling of faith" subjectively someone, inside or outside of the Church) can not be considered "theology" in the Catholic sense of the term, ie as ecclesial theology. E, within that theology, the ecclesiology of those who are not directly connected and essentially the Church's faith to the Magisterium of the Church is reduced to an ambiguous religious discourse which then ends up adopting the themes and rhetorical modes in a socio-political ideology, as was the case with the latest works by Hans Küng, come Projeckt Weltethos, that very little differ, in substance, by similar works of propaganda universalist ideology of the theosophical inspiration or Masonic. Indeed, for explicit admission of Küng, only after meeting with the works of Barth:

"I realized, what can be theology as a science. Barth kritischkonstruktive confrontation with the entire Christian tradition […] sat for me lasting yardsticks theological thought and action " (15).

Opera Masked ball: Archbishop woman. Below is a photo below right from the opera Funny mystery: women-priests

To put it even more explicit, and even more stringent in terms of epistemological, the ecclesiology of Hans Küng not be considered as "a theology with some mistakes": it is rather the negation of the "theology as a science" (theology as science), as a way to refer to the Church of Christ - that mystery of the Christian faith that the science and technology should take as their subject-specific and take into consideration - clearly shows that Küng refers to another. When parla di "ecumenism", It seems that simply refers to something – he detectable sociologically locates in the "lowest common denominator" of the various "confessions of faith" produced by Christian communities. This something sociologically need detectable then – just like Hegel in designing its historical synthesis of religious consciousness – to develop the project of "universal religion", that would mark the passing of the Catholic Church and all other Christian denominations, dialectical unity with Islam, with Buddhism, with Hinduism and also with atheism. Requests today Küng moves to speed up the "reform of the Church" (the annulment of the ecclesiastical magisterium and especially the primacy of the Pope, the synodical government in the Church, abolition of clerical celibacy, the admission of women to the ordained priesthood, the recognition of same-sex marriage, acceptance of euthanasia, etc.) are nothing but preparing what will be unavoidably tomorrow, will be fully realized when the fate inherent in the very essence of the Church as a phenomenon (= Hands20110604-302fesTazion momentary) of the Spirit. Nothing different, both in terms of ch and concepts, from what Hegel said in early work The Spirit of Christianity and its fate; but nothing like what is a speech propriamente theological, that begins with the unconditional acceptance of the truth revealed (the dogma) e continues with the elaborateaction of rational interpretation hypothesis that privileged instrument metaphysics. As he rightly observed at the beginning of the twentieth century Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, at odds with the modernist theologians and cattolici believe we can reconcile the dogma with the evolutionism of Bergson, the truth of the fefrom, contained in the "dogmatic formulas", can not be understood by believers if not based on evidence of "common sense", that are substantially metaphysical in nature and which in their turn constitute a prerequisite for the rational scientific interpretation of the dogma, ie for theology (16). Effectively, without metaphysics, without the logic that it is intrinsically linked, especially without the principle of non-contradiction, the dogma is no longer the divine truth preserved by the Church, but can and should be contradicted dialectically, in accordance with the cultural and social changes (17). This is what comes to support Küng in the church (1967) and in Infallible? A request (1970):

"Every formula of faith, not only the individual but also in the whole church, remains imperfect, incomplete, enigmatic […] This fragmentation not only based on the character often polemical and narrow doctrinal formulations of church, but the necessarily dialectical character of every human affirmation of the truth […]. Every proposition can be true and false » (18).

So it is not surprising that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued the following This orientation:

Franjo_Šeper

The Cardinal Franjo Šeper (Osijek, 2 October 1905 - Rome, 30 December 1981) at that time prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

"The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith fulfilling its duty to promote and safeguard the doctrine of the faith and of costume throughout the church has submitted to the two works of Professor Hans Küng, The church e Infallible? A question, that have been published in several languages. With two different letters, dated respectively 16 May 1971 e 12 July 1971, the congregation notified the author of the difficulties he found in his opinions and asked him to explain in writing how such views do not contradict Catholic doctrine. In a letter dated 4 July 1973 the congregaziProfessor Küng one offered a further opportunity to explain their ideas through an interview. With a sua lettera part 4 September 1974 he teacher. Küng also left out this possibility. On the other hand with his answers did not feel that some opinions about the church does not conflict with Catholic teaching but continued to support them even after the publication of the declaration The mystery of the church. Therefore, in order not remain doubts about the doctrine that the Catholic Church professes and because the faith of Christians is not in any way tarnished, this sacred congregation, invoking the doctrine of the magisterium shown in the statement The mystery of the church declares: In the works of Professor sopradette. Hans Küng some opinions that are contained, in different degree, are opposed to the doctrine of the Catholic Church, which must be professed by all the faithful. We note only the following most important now apart from a judgment about some others that Prof. Küng defends. The opinion that at least puts in doubt the dogma of the faith of the Church's infallibility and reduces it to a certain fundamental truths of the Church in indefectibility, with the ability to err in its judgments that the magisterium of the Church definitively teaches to believe, contradicts the doctrine defined by Vatican Council I and confirmed by the Second Vatican Council. Another error that seriously affects the doctrine of Professor. Küng regards his opinion of the Magisterium of the Church. In reality, he does not adhere to the authentic magisterium of the genuine concept according to which the bishops in the church are "authentic teachers, endowed with the authority of Christ and preach to the people committed to them the faith they must believe and put into practical life "; In fact, "the task of authentically interpreting the word of God, written or handed on, has been entrusted exclusively to the living teaching office of the Church". Even the opinion already insinuated by Professor. Küng nel book The church and according to which the Eucharist, at least in cases of necessity, can be validly consecrated by baptized without priestly order, can not be reconciled with the doctrine of the Councils of the Lateran IV and Vatican II " (19).

In 1979 Hans Küng accustom a revocata let missio canonical on the teaching of Catholic theology.

AN APPRAISAL OF THE TEACHINGS on ecclesiology

Historicist

 

flying license

Father Anthony De Mello S.j.. and his book: Pilot's license for eagles and chickens.

The ecclesiology of Hans Küng historicist, popularized by many authors nonfiction theological, found a note in a timely condemnation of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It directly concerns not the Swiss theologian but an Indian follower, the Jesuit Anthony De Mello. In the document of the Congregation, made known in 1998 — the same year that Pope John Paul II published the Encyclical Faith and Reason - we read that in the works of De Mello is observed:

"A progressive distancing from the essential contents of the Christian faith. The revelation took place in Christ, he substitutes an intuition of God without form or image, to speak of God as a pure void. […] Religions, including the Christian, are one of the main obstacles to the discovery of truth. This truth, of altronde, it is never defined in its precise contents. To think that the God of their religion is the only one is, simply, fanaticism. "God" is seen as a cosmic reality, vague and onnipresente. His personal character is ignored and in practice denied ".

Bianchi, many faiths

Enzo Bianchi, Donizetti theater Bergamo, 20 September 2012 (public image available on all internet search engines)

This is the Hegelian conception of the Absolute which is not transcendent, it is not personal, but is identified with the Holy Spirit and thus become dialectic with History. The Catholic Church, once denied the absolute value of revealed truth, is relativized and reduced to a transitory moment in the development of consciousness of humanity destined to unity based on global ethics. Christ - says the document signed by Josef Ratzinger - is to be considered "As a master alongside others. […] Is not recognized as the Son of God, but simply as the one who teaches us that all men are children of God ".

In this complaint the Magisterium meeting the a priori condemnation of that 'atheistic humanism I have noted many times in the writings of another follower of the Swiss theologian, ie Enzo Bianchi, Christ comes to qualify as a simple "creature" [Ed. See previous article by Antonio Livi, who].

THE QUESTION OF "EVIL DOCTRINES"

In recent years,, is thanks to the intervention of the Church or of the Shepherds, and thanks to the publication of valuable works on the subject or to the fame acquired by skilled exorcists, as the Father Gabriele Amorth and other, in many Catholic circles has been recovered 067de-spraguealtar1awareness action of Satan in this world [CF. Pietro Cantoni, The Dark Lord, who], although much remains to be done to undoinate two persistent errors opposed to each other, the first, more prevalent in educated circles, consisting in the denial short existence deldigrandfather; The second one, instead present the working classes, which consists in spectacularization action satanic and in too much agocilitates with whom you would like to explain certain phenomena hateful or certain doom to repeat. It happens then to meet misconceptions about demtheyor both the first and in the second case.

With regard to the action ofthe Satan generally gives space and advertising, sometimes for some useless curiosity or search for success by the publications on the subject, the most striking phenomena, puzzling and impressive, as possessions, appearances and Satanism. This phenomenology, But, thank God, is rather rare.

Vice versa, exists uNo other aspect of the action of Satan, more frequent and more important, but less flashy and more neglected, and that is what we have to close all, it is of primary interest to our path of salvation, although he did not own the spectacle of the first, unlike ma, placing itself purely in terms of the spirit – the rest, Satan is not a spirito? – affects less sense, the emotions and the imagination and challenges the more delicate work of the intelligence, of consciousness and volontà, especially in relation to the exercise of the theological virtues of faith, the speranzand a charity, and the exercise of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The phenomenon of possessions or harassment all in all is a tough test for the obsessed and certainly engages the skilled exorcist, but in the end does not affect or endanger the moral conduct of the patient, since, as is known, during the presence of the devil, the patient is in an unconscious state, so it can not exercise the will.

Instead, the entry of Satan into the consciousness of the subject lucid and conscious is the real issue about the working of Satan, as he, with its suggestions, seductions and temptations, seriously jeopardizes the spiritual health of the subject, pushing him to sin. In fact, all the action of Satan in this world can be summed up in this single end: deceive man precisely with "doctrines of devils" to persuade him to sin knowing sin, making him look evil good or good evil;.

The imagine Satan as a being frightening or repellent stop means on the level of metaphor and imagination, without grasping the true meaning of the satanic, that is to say without seeing Satan in his real danger that, I repeat, lies in its fine art to lead us to sin, to show us the sin as attractive.

 

do3sDkl7bLk

was the Prince of Light, the most beautiful of the angels

In this sense, Satan does not appear repugnant but otherwise looks fascinating, seductive and bewitching. Satan tries to dull our consciousness, yes you do not repent of the sin committed. This is the true characteristic, rest of the day for those who warn, s actionatanica. Or instills false guilt to block us in the fulfillment of the good and to lead us to despair.

In this respect, which is what should be there more to heart if we keep to our salvation, the working of Satan does not have an external character and material, relevant under, to emotions or states of our physical, as in the first case, but a thin appearance, inner, insinuating, we could say "serpentine", that's up toppunto the life of our spirit, our intimate, our ideas, our beliefs, feelings, trends or spiritual aspirations, our moral acts, our interpersonal relationship with others, our relationship with God. This raises the level of ideas, communication of thought, verbal messages, impulses or stimuli to the will.

The main aim of Satan is not even so much the corruption of passions but the corruption of the spirit. Do not push so much to carnal sins, but for the spiritual: the Superbia, the empietà, the presumption, the blind, hatred, the ipocrisia, the lie, duplicity. He poses the most serious obstacle to the achievement of good, of virtue, of God, obstacle that is not of the flesh but of the spirit or, as Christ says, not come from outside, but from the inside, from the heart, by the will.

He aims to make murky and false intelligence, unfair, double and the poor will. The sin of Satan was obviously a spiritual sin, since he is pure spirit, and for this the spiritual sins can be called "evil". These sins contaminate primarily the intellect and the will, thought and action, which are the powers proper to the spirit.

thought

a poster advertising the “creative thinking”

The first sin spiritual, the starting point of perdition, therefore, concern the thought: what St. Paul calls "diabolical doctrine". It consists in instigating the lie into the advocacy of lying about the most important values, which are those that concern the salvation, then the falsification of the Word of God, of the truth of faith, of the doctrine of the Church.

In the sin of thought obviously plays a willingness, since every sin leads to ill will. But then the diabolical sin also concerns those acts that relate to the specific commitment of the will, in other words exactly sins or action related to the operation, the practical implementation of the diabolical thought, and here we have all of the most serious acts of violence, of cruelty, of sacrilege, dell'incredulità, of the desperation, of injustice, the theft, dell'assassinio, dell'aborto, the sadomasochismo, of contention, of defamation, of denigration, of disobedience, of sedition, of the massacre, terrorism.

false-prophet

The wolf and the lamb …

The evil man can be moderated, often, tempering, measured, controlled, gentile, good manners, courteous, easy going, beneducated, sympathetic, Allegro, psychically normal, cultured, from fine stretch, apparently pious and serene; indeed the devil preferably choose these alien people from the excesses of emotional, by outbursts of anger, by uncontrolled impulses, people who do not seem suspicious, maybe in high places, prelates, theologians or religious, and are therefore subject to estimation and respect, to make them instruments of his action when he wants to do really serious damage to the souls and long-term: This is especially the heretics, whose malignant influence is able to last for centuries.

These are the authors of what St. Paul calls "doctrines of devils" [CF. The Tm 4,2]. The evil person can put on an appearance noble, may seem like a very spiritual person, a profondo teoreta, an inspired prophet, un Wall ente, a mystic, Giacchè, as St. Paul says, "Satan disguises himself as an angel of light" [CF. II Cor 11,14].

Satan knows to some extent simulate even the sanctity, although the trained eye can easily recognize counterfeits and frauds, for Satan since he is a business after all too difficult. Hence the proverb: "The devil is, but not the covers ". The fiction evil can not last long.

Holy Spirit

Artistic representation of the Holy Spirit

It falls just who wants us fall. Ordinarily, the devil does not aim so high, because few love holiness, and he wants to conquer the highest possible number of fools and blockheads. For this ordinarily lies beneath the features and style of successful people that draw the crowds, false philosophers, theologasters, sophists and clever impostors, reformers of the Church and society, genes of thought and science, seducers, political leaders, spiritists, Hypnotists, atMarket, Withthose, poets and maghi.

But we mention Paul's expression in its context, which is very interesting: "The Spirit expressly says that in latter times some shall depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, lies in hypocrisy impostors, already seared in their own conscience ".

First, the reference to the Holy Spirit, that is the Spirit of truth, used to give certainty of this statement. The "last days" or "fullness of time" in the language of the Bible represent the apocalyptic times, ie those conclusive and decisive, the most highly dramatic, the history of salvation, the timing of the final battle. Recall the apostasy of which the Apostle speaks [Ii Ts 2,3]. Primarily concern the future, but can also affect the present, as early as this will decide our salvation, it builds our salvation.

The same coming of Christ, according to the Gospel, inaugurated the "last times" foretold by the prophets, yes the last in chronological order, but especially intensive: times more full of meaning, time solving, also called "end times", end of this world of sin and the beginning of the new world of justice, time of the final battle of the forces of good against those of evil.

In this final struggle emerging doctrines most dangerous, which are precisely the "doctrines of devils". They must be exposed and refuted with the same power of the Spirit, which reveals the appearance and the danger. It is the Holy Spirit, Spirit of truth, accompanied by prayer, that discovers and banishes the unclean spirit, the spirit of falsehood.

These doctrines are aimed above all the destruction or falsification of faith – – heresy, by that faith which is the beginning of salvation. The devil tries to suppress the Christian life to the root, turning off the light of faith with doctrines who make it appear false, odious, irrational, degrading, inhuman, intolerant, illiberal, exceeded, enslaving and many other deceptions such.

Iconography of the Apostle Paul with book and sword

St. Paul is very strict in judging these "seducing spirits" who spread heresy. Indeed, declares that they are "seared into their consciousness"; therefore are not in good faith, which, however, can happen when one defends heresy without knowing that it is a heresy. In this case, since the time of St. Augustine the Church speaks of heresy "material", who is not guilty, since the subject exchanges involuntaryously the error to the truth, and the truth for error.

Instead heresy veritable, this "Formale", there is real guilt, the fact that the heretic knows that his idea is heretical and everything defends presenting it as Catholic truth, or simply excluding it as if it were contrary to Catholic truth. It is a grave fault, well described by the Apostle with the expression "seared into their consciousness", as if to signify the fire of hell in this life begins to haunt the heretics.

Certainly it is not always easy in practice to distinguish the formal heretic from the material, but it is very important, though very different is the behavior that must be taken in the two cases. However there are signs that indirectly but with certainty allow us to distinguish and then to adopt the appropriate behavior that is necessary in the two cases.

The essential difference between the two types of heretic is given by the presence of certain characteristics moral: the formal heretic is superb, conceited, unfair, arrogant, obstinate, ambitious, vindictive, cruel, scornful and mocking towards opponents, an implacable hater of those who dare to criticize or rebuke, smart guardian of his image or his look, so as to obtain the highest possible reputation in the world, committed to seek ways and to form disciples and collaborators who support him in his unholy activities.

The heretic is the subject of fanatical admiration from the followers, that place it above any other authority, is almost a god. A classic example is Luther, though of course we should recognize in him some quality, as his "deep religiosity", as he said Blessed John Paul II.

Conversely the heretic simply material is actually orthodox and can also be a holy. You can not not even properly say heretic, but it is only one person who errs. Simply does not realize his mistake, and if they become aware, would reject decisively, but God can allow for a long time and maybe even for life not noticing. It is therefore not guilty of ignorance, so-called "invincible", or caused by insufficient training received or the inherent limitations of his intelligence or misinterpretations or misunderstandings insurmountable maybe related to the environment, language or character flaws or his psyche.

Rosmini 03A

Blessed Antonio Rosmini, a life of holiness. Have fallen into the error of doctrine involuntary, not at all precluded the recognition of the heroic virtues.

The heretic material, we might even say heretical pseudo-, errs only in certain points within a system of thought essentially orthodox and indeed from this point of view can be of great value and do very well to the culture and the Church. It can even be a mystic and a master of holiness. It is faithful to the Church, conscientious, concerned about orthodoxy, enemy of heretics, humblee, pious, prudent, Modesto, disinterested, magnanimous, charitable, generous, ready to correct himself when he realizes the error, gentle and patient with opponents, who may mistreat him, not attached to his ideas, not worried about a worldly fame, but to please God unsoloed, not closed in his ideas, but always ready to learn. Famous example is the Blessed Antonio Rosmini.

As stated in the passage from St. Paul, Satan is the major contributor of Hypocrisy. How often Jesus throws accusations of hypocrisy! And against whom? Against the tax, prostitutes and sinners? No; against priests, Scribes and Pharisees! What a lesson for us priests, for us religious, Rated to perfection and the guide of souls! So between us that the devil is the most suitable soil to sow his doctrines!

pavone

peacock's tail, emblem della vanity

The first thing to do in life - And this is especially true for those who are called to insegnare theology or the truths of faith, and to lead souls to salvation - is to act in good conscience before God, detached from human glory, seek God first and at all costs: if men approve, well, and names willthey try, patience. It is therefore necessary to avoid human glory and not be a slave to other people's opinion. Instead the Heretic first seeks himself and the favor of men; God and religion are just a means for him to succeed in the world and to get a fleeting glory that opens to him and to his disciples on the road to perdition.

This online magazine was founded under the auspices of the Apostle John and takes its name from the island of Patmos which is located in Sporades, a few tens of kilometers from the city of Ephesus, where the Apostle was exiled for his zealous preaching and for the testimony of the Word of God made Man. After the death of Domitian in 96-98 became emperor Nerva, far more tolerant than its predecessor towards Christians, the Apostle so he could return to the city of Ephesus and resume his preaching. John died ultra centennial around the year 104, delivering the truth of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Christian communities of the second century. As at the time he was very young, St. John is to be considered as the first apostle known by Jesus and the apostles as the last living which will end with the apostolic mission of the Twelve chosen by Christ.

Scene of the Last Supper: the young John reclined on the Lord Jesus

The Island of Patmos It arises from the very meaning of the three priests vocation, when in fact there consecrated bishop in the sacred order, receiving the gifts of grace of the Holy Spirit in our consciences sounded a call that encloses within it a heavy warning: "You will know the truth and the truth will make you free" [GV 8, 32]. The priest of Christ is thus called by vocation and sacred ministry to be free and to lead the children of God's people to freedom; that can never be objective but a subjective freedom, structured on the same original mystery of Truth: the creation [CF. GN 1, 1-5] in which is contained the great test of freedom through the creation of man [CF. GN 2, 18-25].

The highlight of sacred ordination: the laying on of the hands of the Bishop

With my brothers Antonio and Giovanni Livi Cavalcoli, we were able to exchange mutual concern several times that I would like to share with you the beginning of this our online magazine. With air disenchanted we said one day to one another: in this atmosphere of chaos inside and outside the Church we have the privilege of being beaten by the right and left, by the modernists and the "traditionalists". And here is the quotation marks penalty, because never before in recent decades has been made a wrong use of the term: "Tradition". Every Catholic is in fact a staunch traditionalist named as such to defend and spread the Catholic tradition that comes to life from the first apostolic era and that is developed through the experience of the Holy Fathers of the Church and the great Councils, which are all valid and source of truth, by the Council of Nicea until that Vatican II that some Catholics trying for years to diminish through discussions built on erroneous thesis presented in a cryptic: "... Basically, Vatican II, it was just a pastoral council ".

.

Theme this very articulate treated many times in our writings and on which no delay beyond, because all three we will return above the columns of the Isle of Patmos, clarifying in truth and in closer accordance with the doctrine of the Church that the term "pastoral", especially applied to an ecumenical council, can not become synonymous with … "So do not count for anything", because "only pastoral", that means: "Second Third Class".

.

It is true that the Vatican II decrees no new dogmas and that "limits" to reiterate all the dogmatic truths of the Catholic faith, but through his papers establishes the doctrines binding on the entire Orbe catholica, that anyone who wants to can also rebel, but coming in this way from ecclesial communion. Already our ancestors chose to rebel against God the dawn of time and decided with free will [Gen 3, 1-13]. And me, rather than drive them out of Eden, took note that they had made their choice by thrusting themselves by his grace and his glory [3, 22-24].

.

The church, that in two thousand years of history It has traveled ordeal before which strengthens our faith - because if it was not the Mystical Body of Christ, assisted by the Holy Spirit for centuries to be extinct - is experiencing a time of great crisis which I call "unprecedented historical repeatedly ', using several times in this regard a sentence as often repeat a rhyme: "The good becomes evil and evil good, vice virtue and virtue vice, sound doctrine heterodoxy and heterodoxy sound doctrine, the good elements faithful to the deposit of faith and the teaching of the Church are often persecuted by people disordered in body and in spirit who first sowed the seeds and watering today that the climbing ivy internal apostasy " [CF. my work And Satan came Trino].

.

cviinota-002Of all this, noi tre Navigator, we are aware enough to be shipped to the island of Patmos, where the Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation which contains within itself the message of hope for us is the assurance of faith, the triumph of Christ and the inexorable defeat the Antichrist confirms the promise made by the Lord Jesus to Peter: "... and the gates of hell will not prevail over it" [CF. Mt 16,18].

.

The reality is that heavily damage the body of the Church often they contribute very people who claim to be die-hard defenders of the sacred tradition, and that in the eighties were kneeling at Ecône at the schismatic bishop Marcel Lefebvre and excommunicated. But just in that they dared to raise his head and say a speech, they felt answer: "To speak, and in particular as regards doctrine, ecclesiology and liturgy we think our priests. Your task is to lay people respond "Amen!"When we say"Through Christ our Lord!"And pull out the money to fund our operations and our pastoral seminars, and that's!». A quel point, this army of fans, hath been quick to return to the ranks of the "heretic" and "apostate" post-conciliar Church, playing the Lefebvrians and related within this poor body of the Church more and more battered and confused.

At this goes added that when certain people characterized by such restlessness have crept in magazines telematics until shortly before had shown a certain balance, the first thing they proceeded to censor priests and theologians engaged in the arduous attempt to offer the people of God more and more lost hope and a Catholic point of equilibrium. For this reason that we met several times with several of our articles rejected because they judged politically inopportune, with the aggravating circumstance that the whole is not always the case that there was ever given an explanation about - our - always and rigor of all theological and pastoral.

.

Also for this born on the Isle of Patmos: to protect our freedom that priestly theological and is not intended at all to protect our individual persons, but to protect the doctrine and the magisterium of the Church that we are called to serve and to spread as the Church commands us to serve and to spread.

.

censorshipThe writings that many times there have been "properly" censored were then theological articles of doctrine and church history built with those pastoral criteria that are part of our sacred ministry in which we were established priests, then guides and teachers; and as such can be subjected only to the complaints of our bishops exercised in accordance with canon law, certainly not to those arbitrary lay ideological us can not exercise any authority. Indeed, we are that we can for the sacred ministry - and sometimes imperative of conscience, we should - exercise authority over the laity who are called to lead and correct as pastors in the care of souls who exercise the priestly ministry in communion with the fullness of the priesthood of the bishop .

.

Those who would then recognize in these lines a peppery revenge dictated by "wounded pride" will give trouble to find the most plausible arguments. Indeed, it is something serious that lay people use the doctrine and theology - often badly - driven by motives purely political-ideological, up to censor in the name of shreds of truth strained priests used to do theology without regard to what is or is not politically appropriate to say what the Gospel requires us to say, even those who claim the right not to listen. If we act in this way are those Catholics who beano between the traditio and celebrated with solemn pontifical old order posted, presenting themselves as the purest defenders of the true faith, everything will be exacerbated, especially if censors are certain individuals who on the one hand and flirt with lefebvriani are related and the other with one foot placed in the "heretic" and "apostate" post-conciliar Church which they say would destroy faith, theology, liturgy and so on.

The quirky clerical, laity and clergy: yesterday, today and tomorrow …

We regret that more tired and worried that certain magazines telematics Catholic entrust regular columns to scribes, Pharisees and false teachers of the law whose purpose seems to be to stick to burst the last council of the Church, or the current pontificate about whom also we have soothed concerns raised by certain practices or pronouncements made by the Holy Father as a private doctor [who, who, etc. ..], but always insisting at every turn, often attacked well in the wrong way by some "columnists" who wield shreds of truth confused and misunderstood, that if the legitimate criticism of the private doctor is passed instead to undermine the Roman Pontiff legitimate holder of the Petrine ministry, in that case it goes to dangerously shake the stone - which is a dogma of faith - on which Christ built his Church [CF. Mt 16, 18].

The answer to some of our relevant callbacki, always and strictly speaking, all doctrinal and never humoral, May ideological, Finally, the complaints have been made about priests from the laity and theologians from the secular doctrine confused and blinded by sectarianism spatermed for "true faith" and "true tradition”.

.

As my style I'll try to be realistic with the spirit of St. John the rough Bdevelops that did not end in the case that he: can you imagine what would happen unspeakable chaos within the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X if some were to put in charge of an online magazine in a condition to censor their priest, scholar of theological sciences? Do such a thing to lefebvriani and friends - and here it is clear the τόπος, pure joke - could result in serious risk of being removed even the Sacrament of Baptism.

The works of Cristina Siccardi Marcel Lefebvre

To this we add that several of these characters are avvezzi through its articles and books in a surreal way to exploit some historical figures elected to their banners: for example, the Holy Pontiff Pius X, or figures of bishops and cardinals as Alfredo Ottaviani and Giuseppe Siri. Operation in which for years has distinguished between various publicists and writers Cristina Siccardi, that settles everywhere scorched earth around d agofter all have lefebvrianizzato. Is clear, however, without penalty misunderstanding: this does not happen because this lovable person requires the estromissione of the other, which indeed does not, but because the mere presence of its articles of his columns or unbalanced towards the world ultra-traditionalist, nonchIt'smasterinpriest peppered with prevAir theology and historical sense obsesseded by the ideologuesa, imputs directors responsible for the choice to silence other voices, because if you publish his writings can not be published on the same columns as those of the metaphysical philosophers and theologians Cavalcoli Giovanni and Antonio Ltherein, to follow with my, since all three guilty of being loyal and devoted speakers of the magisterium of the Church and of the doctrines of Vatican II, not out of a confused romantic idea of ​​the Church that the bottom ends up being self-centered and whole settarista.

The sad case of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate turned into ideological banner fringed ultra traditionalist who “played” all about Old Order posted traveling to these religious only further damages

Call up the blind to a healthy realism bathroom through contemplation of the solare truth is not easy, therefore prove to respond to their own consciences often more political and ideological than Catholic, through this question that with sincere paternity pastorale I put them all: how do you think he would have reacted man of extraordinary temperament and great holiness, tale keg San Pio X, you glorified in every sigh - although not always correctly known for what it really was - if under his pontificate a group of aggressive and noisy lay Catholics had made a public campaign to collect signatures, for example, as opposed to disciplinary measures and canons that followed his encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis? In short: one hand there is a shred of clothing in place based on a non-included "religious freedom" in the "terrifying" and “diabolical” Vatican II would be responsible, the other, the same proponents of such laments, however, show in concrete facts that would transform the Church into a democraParliamentary aunt with a lot of collected signatures for a referendum and popular.

.

To state in response that "the Holy Father Francis is not St. Pius X" It is wrong dogmatically and pastorally. Francis Peter, as it was St. Pius X, as they were both Alexander VI is St. Pius V. Therefore manipulate certain figures for political and ideological is what in philosophical and theological language is called intellectual dishonesty produced by a reason and a logic flawed by lack of freedom and move to the refusal to accept the doctrines and disciplines of the Church, replaced with its arbitrary action on behalf of an unspecified "purity Catholic", that said in other words is called "pride", namely the fearsome queen of all the deadly sins, from which there is to be cleansed only with the conversion of the heart.

SanPioX_Siccardi

The St. Pius X Cristina Siccardi is not that of the Church's history is just a Santino manufactured for use and consumption of the world's ultra-traditionalist

It is from this need It born the falsification that induces some authors to invent a St. Pius X never existed, in the same manner in which it was created a Cardinal Ottaviani and Cardinal Siri does not correspond to a historical reality and ecclesial, place that the one and the other discussed when it came to discuss, but at the end of the legitimate threads, have not only applied with great care the doctrines of Vatican II; Cardinal Siri in particular, in his diocese, he was a master at his clergy and the faithful and diligent speaker [CF. by Antonio Livi, who]. The Cardinal Ottaviani, in the most turbulent period of the post-conciliar, has served the Supreme Pontiff Paul VI with a fidelity that should be stimulating and teaching of certain Catholics who abuse the word "tradition" or who speak and write of St. Pius X so often cryptic and falsante to feel better qualified to despise the magisterium of the Church of the past half century.

Fall of the train on the bridge of Cassandra Crossing

The world of the modernists and the one of Lefebvre and similar are two parallel lines that never meet, but together they represent the two tracks that carry the train with all the unsuspecting passengers who boarded at the crumbling bridge Cassandra Crossing [who, who].

.

No coincidence that the Apostle Paul It portrays the Church as the Mystical Body of which Christ is the head and we are living members; and each limb in the body has its own function, necessary and indispensable. Obviously a leg can not perform the functions of an arm and vice versa arm of the leg. Inside this body that sometimes seems almost formed by limbs crazed that move in a disjointed manner and disjointed, several decades there remains a large and dangerous confusion of roles: we often find ourselves before a secularized clergy and laity clericalized.

.

Dialogue is right, as is the search for agreements, arguing the same thing can be beneficial and even a source of grace. Even the apostles were arguing heatedly with each other, but always in a clear and respectful exercise of their roles, as St. Paul shows us that in harsh tones accuses the Prince of the Apostles in Antioch [Gal 2, 11-14], but without calling into question the authority of Peter minimum that had received its mandate from Christ in person.

.

mystical bodyThe priests have specific tasks within the Body of Christ which is the Chiesa, have their own specific function within the economy of salvation; a legitimate role resulting from the nature indelible and eternal received that made them to share in the sacrament of grace to the ministerial priesthood of Christ, which do not participate instead lay people. For this reason that a faithful priest, called himself the first to respect the sanctity of the priestly order that the marked, must not accept complaints about certain subjects and issues of doctrine and faith, because those who play the Lefebvrians and related in the Holy Church of Christ does not consider the politically opportune. For divine sacrament we have been established as leaders of the People of God, and when the case requires it we are required to take certain lay in the right direction and put them back in their place, including those directors of blogs and magazines telematics can not think to use us if necessary, or to be more clear: “If you write an article critical of the false prophet and the evil maestro Enzo Bianchi, that we declared our "enemy" as progressive hyper-conciliarist thenfarcito of modernist heresies, will publish a drum beating to ten folders, If, however, raised a criticism - and it is clear: strictly theological - on lefebvriani and related, then you censor, because otherwise we run the risk that irritate some of our employees and knowprattuttor certain of our moneyed supporters”…

The truth of the Incarnate Word that we must know why we make you free then Speaker of freedom, does not work intermittently political and ideological as the lights of Luna Park. All this to say that among these people and certain fringes of the Neocatechumenal that transform the priest hostage in their whims and their referees liturgical and that in serious doctrinal error state that "all" are priests, the evidence shows there is no fundamental difference. Nothing matters on the one hand there is a Proclamation Pasquale schitarrato and beat on drums by Kiko Arguello and bohemian other a Proclamation Pasquale sang in the best tradition of the Gregorian Church with all the singers pricked with clasped hands of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. Nothing changes in the sad and dangerous substance background, are identical because the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the scribes and teachers of the law, the false prophets and bad teachers, but above all the lack of respect due to the ministerial priesthood of Christ living through its priests and that is not bound to the whims of the laity.

St. Pio of Pietrelcina during one of his last Masses

The priest is not only a old christ when he celebrates the Eucharistic Sacrifice according to the whims aesthetic, ideological and political lay of certain, whether modernist or lefebvriani and related; The priest is also alter Christus when the doctrine, the teachings and documents of the holy councils of the Church, starting from the first until the last which was celebrated half a century ago, teaches and guides the living members of the faithful who form the living Body of which Christ and the head and of which his priests, as unworthy and inadequate, I'm not sure the two fingers little toes, place before a priest the same Angels of God are by, because to them, as the most perfect creature, has not been granted the dignity conferred by the Almighty instead to his priests [CF. Marcello Stanzione, who]. They are the angels that during the Eucharistic Sacrifice sing "Holy ... the Lord God of the universe" around the priest old christ, it is not the priest old christ who sings "Holy" for the Angels, which do not perform the service to participate in the ministerial priesthood of Christ, which involves instead to the mystery of grace only the priests, including sacerdoti unworthy and sinful.

Movie poster: Dorian Gray, 2009. Taken from the novel by Oscar Wilde (Director: Oliver Parker – Writers: Toby Finlay)

The problem is that in this world where the appearance has long since replaced that being understood as metaphysical essence of the Christological becoming, poor in the Church holy and sinful teeming armies of prima donnas and each of the first actors who claim the bullseye pointed nell'orticello of their theater; all with immense joy of the devil who aspires the dawn of time to sow discord and divisions to fragment and disperse in every way the unity of the Mystical Body of Christ. And God only knows how much effort do we pastors in the care of souls, day after day, in groped to explain to many of these people often sealed to grace, that the way of salvation involves the replacement of Christocentrism to our human, limited and limiting self-centeredness. Central point of our being men and women of faith is not in fact the question: "What I want", but "What does God want from me", then act accordingly.

.

The response to certain questions and the solution to certain burdensome problems is all enclosed in a poignant fragment of John: "And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one as we are one. I in them and you in me, that they may be perfected in unity that the world may know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me " [GV 17, 22-23].

Byzantine icon: embrace of the apostles Peter and Paul

How can you be perfect in that unity that makes one thing the Father with the Son, who calls us to be united as God the Father, God the Son is united in? It can be through the emptying that is filling: empty ourselves of ourselves freely to rejoin that sense of perfect freedom that God gave us from the outset of the world; because if you know the Truth, accepting it from the Garden of Eden until the stone overturned the tomb of the Risen Christ who became the new Adam, we will enter into the communion and unity that binds the Father and the Son. And then the truth will set us free, today, forever and always. Just shy away inviolable ideological theater of our "I" to meet the Truth of God and thus becoming "perfect unity".
