The man's indiscretions Jorge Mario Bergoglio and our fire service

THE PROBLEM IS NOT Eugenio Scalfari MA MAN WANTED JORGE MARIO BERGOGLIO PRECAUTIONARY AND MENTAL BALANCE, BUT THAT WILL BE TOO VALUABLE TOOL OF GOD'S GRACE

 

.

Among the various events of imprudence of Pope Francis I also is no stubbornness senile to persevere stubbornly to speak with a dangerous person like Eugenio Scalfari, then forcing the official organ of the Holy See to make public figure of useful idiots when they can not say that the Church is now in the hands of a reckless, scrambles to explain that the other person has not understood, or that the meeting was just a private conversation and not an interview. Well wonder, Lords of the official organ of the Holy See: feel - of course is just one example academic! —, that before a crazier monarch King George III Hanover, the best thing to do is perhaps to make fun of the people by explaining to it than are the others to have misunderstood, while he had hopped suit only white nightgown in the throne room to receive the highest dignitaries of the House of Lords on official visit?

dangerous friendships …

Liutprand, bishop of Cremona, at the beginning of the 10th century, in his The deeds of the emperor Otto, reports a sentence attributed to this famous monarch that on the young Pope John XII [Rome 937 - Rome 964], elected to the holy throne in the year 955 when he was just eighteen years old, He had this to say:

.

«The boy says, East, good example of an easy unchanged, which translated means: "The Pope is still young and will moderate only by the example of noble men" [readable original text WHO]

.

Since then it has been more than a thousand years, but occasionally the stock history of strange surprises, and in different ways in the form, though similar in substance of different people, unfortunately repeats. E, as he learns Greek wisdom, if the epic beginning was marked by the noble tragedy, the end - or as in our ecclesial and ecclesiastical case the irreversible decadence - is instead marked by that satire that drowns everything in ridicule. Having said this very: anyone who intends to dissent from this proven matter of historical and social fact, if not take it with me, but with Greek history, the Greeks and their literature. I have limited myself to only bring a fact that no scholar who is really responsible and serious may in any way deny and refute: the decadence always comes to its climax in the sinking satire. Suffice it to think of the periodic scandals of the clergy, and especially those of a sexual nature, with the inevitable theaters of gay priests pinched in situations so incredible in their grotesque absurdity, that not even arouse the indignation, but only laughter, just as if the whole thing was a real comic comedy to laugh, but certainly do not take seriously.

.

Like this, in the satire in which now we have sunk, we were shaken at the very beginning of the Easter Triduum from the words published by the founder of the newspaper La Repubblica, which he attributed to Pope Francis I of the expressions that touch the heart of the mystery of salvation:

.

"Holiness" - Eugenio Scalfari question - "in our previous meeting she told me that our species will disappear at some point and always God from his creative seed will create other species. She never told me about souls who have died in sin and go to hell forever for scontarlo. She talked to me instead of good souls and admitted to the contemplation of God. But the bad souls? Where you are punished?». To this question the Pope would respond: "You are not punished, those who repent and receive God's forgiveness are among the ranks of souls who watch, but those who do not repent and therefore can not be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls " [see text, WHO, WHO].

.

Even the most superficial knowledge of the Catechism of the Catholic Church He understands that in this response are contained serious heresies not formal but substantial. Shortly after the publication of the text - with all that this news entailed and unleashed on Holy Thursday - comes the denial of the Holy See:

.

«The Holy Father Francis recently received the founder of the newspaper The Republic in a private meeting on the occasion of Easter, But not issue him any interviews. As reported today by the author in the article is the result of its reconstruction, where the exact words spoken by the Pope are not cited. No quotation marks in the above article should be considered then as a faithful transcription of the Holy Father's words " [ Official text WHO].

Caravaggio: Flagellation of Christ at the Column in the judgment hall of Pilate

Pacific is the fact that the patch is worse than the tear, given that the umpteenth slap is reached, however, on the face of believers of Christ at the beginning of the Easter Triduum, while the Pope is involved in what - and I say this with no disrespect - we could define how the theater ideological bergogliano better known as the rinsed feet in jail, He made equally to men and women, Christians and non-Christians. On this theater I do not mean to repeat myself, I have already written in the past and in anything but ironic tones [see article WHO]. We need only remember that on this holy day, we priests, we celebrate the institution of the priesthood and the Holy Eucharist; although that day has now been changed by the reigning Pontiff in Bergogliano jubilation of the pedicure to the prisoner.

.

Unfortunately I consider unnecessary to remind the Pope - as I wrote recently that it is not even a provincial psychology, since belonging to that sub-category of provincialism which is the quartering [see article WHO] - that this gesture in the Gospel of John the Apostle Blessed acclaimed right in Mass of the Lord's Supper [cf. GV 13, 1-15], Christ the Lord is fulfilled on the Apostles chosen as priests of the New Covenant and ministers as stewards and custodians of the Holy Eucharist.

Caravaggio: Christ Crowned with Thorns

And while pel joy of the Radical Party members, the logic of which there is the concept of "poor victims of crime", but "poor prisoners who have committed crimes" - all according to the same diabolical logic of "poor women who have abortions", Never rather "poor children killed by their mothers in abortion" -, the Supreme Pontiff again ignored that in his own Diocese of Rome there are elderly Bishops and Presbyteries, sick and severely sick, who have spent their lives to serve the Church of Christ and to be faithful stewards of the grace of the Sacraments. Some are hospitalized, others live in clinical and geriatric facilities because they are no longer independent and therefore need to be well cared for simply move to toilet facilities, admitted there may bear and should not however perform their bodily needs in bed, with the assistance that it requires, and with all the sense of discomfort and humiliation that this entails for any human. Anyhow, what only matters is that the Supreme Pontiff - who immediately hath been said from the other side of the world and that after this announcement has not been slow to start making things of this world -, go to rinse your feet in the giovanottoni in perfect physical health in prison are not for injustice, but because they have committed various crimes; because they used violence against other human beings, robbed people dedicated to honest work, including people who are struggling to come to their families at the end of the month, they sold drugs, They have exploited prostitution, They have committed rapes and so on, and the whole, of course, pace of the Radical Party members who hail the "poor prisoner" and equal pace of the reigning Pope who goes to rinse your feet with these angels of God.

.

We all should be taught the Supreme Pontiff Christ Lord admonishes: "I was in prison and you visited me" [cf. Mt 25, 36]. Christ the Lord does not say at all: "I was in prison and you have washed my feet ', because your feet, Christ gave, has washed them only to the Apostles chosen by Him and by Him consecrated priests of the New Covenant, everything else has to be considered only a sort of modern apocryphal Gospel that we could reasonably owner “The Gospel According to Jorge Mario Bergoglio”.

Caravaggio: particularly in the work of the feet Madonna of the pilgrims

It is for it legitimate to ask why, Holy Thursday, The Pope arrived on the other side of the world that seems to yearn for things of this world, to give an example of humility and the spirit of service to which Christ the Lord calls us He first washed the feet of his disciples - and note, his disciples, not to prisoners nor to the whores of Jerusalem -, not adversely instead at some downtown geriatrics to give the parrot for urine or defecate in the pan to a saint Bishop and sick priest who spent his entire life to serving Christ and his Church, certainly not to steal, to rape, cashing in on prostitution and selling drugs as the angels of God made the subject of Liturgy bergogliana the annual flushing of the feet. Having said that I add: man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, come halfway around the world and in fact competed for five years from the things of this world, to his conscience as a man and the Apostles Prince Successor she should asked this question: while he found time and maybe even delight in receiving Eugenio Scalfari, dispensing with it a precious time by God, it went to the Holiness of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Pontiff Francis I for other purposes well and high missions, how many times he was informed that the Bishops and Priests, including several of its direct and close acquaintance, They were hospitalized, They had been subjected to large and invasive surgeries, or who were in recovery at various rehabilitation centers and so to follow? And how many times, Sanctity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, although informed, It was careful not to pick up the phone - which always makes extensive use and abuse - to extend to them an omen and a sign of the apostolic nearness, just as he did by calling Lucifer even two sons of the caliber of Marco Pannella and Emma Bonino, otherwise inviting them to 'hold on', although it is not known on what the father and mother of abortion, dell'eutanasia, of genetic testing, dell'omosessualismo, of marriage between couples of the same sex and of children given to them for adoption or by the same purchased from wombs for rent, They should and should continue to "hold on"? [cf. WHO, WHO].

.

Caravaggio: the kiss of Judas

All this proves that for the first time in history we are to deal with a legitimate successor of Peter that is likely to impress all the worst enemies ever the Church and Catholicism, without giving rise to confusion and bewilderment in believers of Christ, while Eugenio Scalfari - and not just him -, praising the Pope revolutionary, in chorus with that other bad person by Antonio Spadaro, that acts as a counterpoint melody to "leader revolutionary" [cf. WHO], both unaware that the concept of "revolution" and "revolutionary" does not apply to the Church and the papacy, I am taken as they are by their dramatic and destructive drift utopian and secularist [cf. Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, WHO]. Doing so would effectively confine the Church on the one hand, the papacy on the other hand, by patterns and socio-political logic reductive them all worldly, related to a present based on everything and immediately and not stretched to any eschatological perspective. It was just that two thousand years ago the error of certain Jews, who in Christ they wanted to see the "revolutionary" that would set them free from Roman rule, while much higher was his mission: free them from sin, until it became the Lamb of God who washes the sin of the world [cf. GV 1, 29-34]. Between these, one who saw Christ in a leader of this kind, a revolutionary, a popular leader liberator, but remaining very disappointed in understanding how much He was not and did not intend to be such, was a character known as Judas Iscariot, a kind of socio-political scientist at the Antonio Spadaro twenty centuries ago, which at least, after having betrayed the Divine Master, He does not put it to launch Tweet rambling and interviews that subvert the basic principles of ecclesiology. Indeed, Judas Iscariot, with a gesture so to speak “consistent” and dramatic hanged himself, which happened because he was a Jew in his own way “consistent” with its complete closure to the grace of Christ's actions, it was not a time-change Jesuit riding high, convinced that this time will never pass, because the so-called "revolution" would rely on to tell them of the "irreversible epochal changes". In fact, we remind poor Spadaro - but also passing through to the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Father Arturo Sosa, He confessed several times amenamente suffering from hives before the rigidity of doctrine [cf. WHO] - that irreversible, in the Church of Christ, They are only those dogmas of faith that today certain Judas would like reversible to better enforce their human dogmas, sometimes even openly evil. All this in the name of their celebrated and brazenly declared irreversible, built on a present moment that must not pass, because it is the everything and immediately they care, things do not last and eternal. And these, come to think, are the worst forms and expressions of atheism: the cleric atheism.

.

Of the personality of Pope Francis I, to inquietarmi is that its serious lack of caution that only the blind and uncritical supporters of the correctness and opportunities of each of its slightest sigh, They own and do not want in any way to see; as well as, for other reasons far more serious, They do not want to see her courtiers pimps who long coveted career shooting, to arrive at which today are shrouded in poor, of poverty, of refugees and existential peripheries. E, between the various manifestations of imprudence of Pope Francis I also is no stubbornness senile to persevere stubbornly to speak with a dangerous person like Eugenio Scalfari, then forcing the official organ of the Holy See to make public figure of useful idiots when they can not say that the Church is now in the hands of a reckless, scrambles to explain that the other person has not understood, or that the meeting was just a private conversation and not an interview. Well I ask the Lords of the official organ of the Holy See: feel - of course is just one example academic! —, that before a crazier monarch King George III Hanover [cf. WHO], the best thing to do is perhaps to make fun of the people and to treat it as a set of perfect cretins which explain that only others to have misunderstood, while Her Majesty was presented hopping suit only white nightgown in the throne room to receive the highest dignitaries of the House of Lords arrived on an official visit? You understand him, Lords of the official organ of the Holy See, that such a run of George III in the throne room in her nightgown, What is less crowds and especially less reckless than the stubborn obstinacy by the reigning Pope to want to converse in all ways with a subject like Eugenio Scalfari?

.

Caravaggio: Peter's denial

Let's start then from San Tommaso d’Aquino, through which we can learn what prudence has its true place that proceeds through an equally precise definition: «Wisdom is the driver of the virtues» [Summa Th. I-II, q.58 a.5]. Prudence is the wagon that hauls all the other cardinal virtues [cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1806], and the mother virtues, the guide and the mother of all how much the moral virtues, in the absence of which none of these virtues can reach that their formal and substantial act which is the rectum virtuous behavior. It is not just the desire to be just and temperate, because it is necessary to grasp and then follow that line of conduct by which justice or temperance is realized and concretized. Without this action, which is characteristic of prudence understood as driver's virtues e mother virtues, the other virtues would remain only a dead letter, because they could not express themselves, they would just like to express, so they never would reach to consolidate itself in the person making it truly and genuinely virtuous, least of all right.

.

At the Aquinas school so we learn that prudence is not only the first among the cardinal virtues, why it, the other virtues, leads them all, since 'Reason connection virtues:». Therefore the virtue of prudence has such natural moral order autonomy. In both orders there is a virtue CONNECTING, ie a virtue that connects all the other, It gives the shape - so to speak - the other virtues. And yet, Aquinas says that in situations regarding the operation, operations, or act, in agilibibus, the form it takes or is apparent from the order. So that virtue which has closer to the ultimate goal of human existence, is the virtue that gives form to the other virtues and connects them to each other [his prudence and access, cf. Tomas Tyn, o.p. Lectures on Prudence, Bologna, 1988].

.

Caravaggio: Behold the man

A man void of reason it therefore behaves in an excessive way, lingering at the humoral and the irrationality. E, lingering in these excesses, the man devoid of reasonableness is unable to moderate and adapt to the measure and to the real, until fall for inevitable and logical consequence of the imbalance and the surreal, because the unreasonable man is always and per se a man devoid of measure, cleaved from the reality and therefore devoid of or poor balance. Sincerely, analyzing the figures and the facts, I fear that man Jorge Mario Bergoglio is lacking in balance and that - as I wrote over a year ago - "the true “dubia” are those about his mental clarity, But no one says " [cf. WHO]. And no one says, between the timid clerical army that is rampant in the Church today, even if the facts show that he often creates even serious and dramatic divisions, It does not offer the People of God certainties, but doubts, the clarity required by the doctrinal language prefer to prefer to interpret ambiguous expressions in both directions, thereby generating heeling in Bishops, Priests and in the body of believers of Christ. Pet the rapacious wolves, solidarizes and shows large openings towards the sheep dispersed in the prairies of heresies Lutheran, except then take a beating the faithful sheep remained within the Catholic fold. He is able to say decisively and clearly “and” O “no”, only when it comes to those elements that are now beds within its obsessional neurosis: refugees, migrants, poor ideological and Ecology, while on all other rest, including standards based on the truths of faith, conquer the “perhaps” and finally the worst and most devastating “you do”. He showed to the Islamic world a treat to say the least improvident, He has repeatedly defined Islam as a religion of peace and love, totally ignoring, so dangerously uncritical, ch'esso he born and brought to life by a complex assemblage of mixed messages together by a false prophet, and also ignores the fact that by virtue of the many violent children and murderers who take the moves from this religion of peace and love, all the area surrounding the Vatican City are armored to prevent terrorist attacks. Ignore also that the historic Via della Conciliazione, continuously open from 1929 up to recent days, It was closed to traffic with concrete columns and iron railings placed at its inception to prevent young Islamic fundamentalist, in the name of peace and love, is intende, you branch out with a padded means of explosive charges in the direction of among the people St. Peter's Square, or better between the infidels. Now, because the facts do not liable to easily disproved these are, I wonder: how can we speak of him as a prudent and balanced man? Not to mention human government showing for years now of being able to choose one of the following figures very harmful to the Church, imposing subjects but are part of the so-called "magic circle", or who are unable to enjoy its sympathies without caution and above all the sense of the government by the grace of the Holy Spirit by which, for years now, man Jorge Mario Bergoglio would have to cease to be such only and exclusively be the Pope Francis I, loyal a slave of slaves.

.

We want to use in that sense a paradigm also not subject to easy denial, to clarify to what extent this Pietro has never abandoned its being previously Simone? Soon said: the reigning Pontiff, ignoring or perhaps pretending to ignore that he is, among other things, Also Sovereign Chief of a State with its own square kilometer of land guarantees the precious independence of the Roman Pontiff from any secular political power, In the 2014 gives us one of the beautiful pearls renewing - obviously in the spotlight and with photos published and disseminated [cf. WHO] - passport of Argentina (!?) [cf. see WHO]. God bless so if the last election, the citizen Jorge Mario Bergoglio, anagrafe Pope and Bishop of Rome by profession, no person has gone to his country of origin to vote in the presidential elections. E, said this, I think it said more or less everything, from my initial opening engraved: epic tragedy, when you slide into decadence, He always ends up in the satirical grotesque farce. E, sincerely, We clergy have now surpassed the most hilarious pages of ancient Roman satyrs. Ma, like all fools, we are such and we boast. E, as we try to take us seriously, more audience laughter of us, because it has always, as the ancient theater, nothing is more comical and grotesque buffoon who takes quite seriously. The problem is that if the general public laughs at, the children of the buffoon rather mourn; and cry of pain, to see their beloved and revered father engage in such antics and imprudent, through which it will eventually be entrusted to the harsh judgment of history, as well as perhaps the most severe even God. That's why the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio aroused embarrassment in the faithful but is enhanced by the non-Catholic world and all the worst enemies of the Church of all time: because there is plunging in the satire. It is true that he has stripped the church of its so-called "Renaissance princely trappings", He has stripped the day after day of divine dignity.

Caravaggio: Deposition of Christ from the Cross

I which are devoid of any ambition ecclesiastical career and that unlike the dense army of clerics who are silent cowards "cautious" waiting for better times - the rise of which will come to light and then groped the big leap on the bandwagon of new leader, in the hope of profiting from him every benefit and best prebenda -, never cease to grieve for them that, with rare cynicism, giving now finished for this pontificate and patients awaiting the Pope's death, do not realize, both those who aspire to the episcopate future of both those who aspire to the future cardinal, what a day after day, the damages caused to the Church, They are becoming more severe. E, if all goes well, more we will move forward on this degenerative state, most take time to only partially repaired this damage, with an aspect ratio more or less like this: compared to five years of ruinous pontificate but these are the result of fifty years of devastating ruin upstream doctrinal, liturgical and ecclesial, it will take five hundred years to remedy this damage that man Jorge Mario Bergoglio is not the cause, but only the ultimate consequence. Unfortunately, the irreducible aspiring to the limelight, all this does not take into account, because they are serious and foolishly believe that the next conclave will be enough to close what they call with a rare cynicism as a simple “hiccup”, then turn the page just as if nothing had, and in style. These are the real evil destroyers of the Church, certainly not that poor imprudent man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, that of all the previous decades of damage done, It is only the first victim, or as I wrote in the recent past using an allegorical: he is only the last of the customers come in the restaurant and that crossing the threshold was attacked by waiters who demanded from him payment of the accounts of all those before him had had lunch and dinner without pay, but leaving fine suspended accounts.

Caravaggio: Mary Magdalene pained

From the Four Cardinal Virtues it is necessary to pass to the three theological virtues, of which I have often had occasion to speak during these last five years, pointing out that although the most important of these is charity, as we learn from the Blessed Apostle Paul [cf. The Cor, 13], at the center of them, between faith and charity, there is hope, task which, in my opinion, It is to combine and mix the other two great virtues. Therefore, in view of the hope that you have to read this pontificate, through which it seems that the Church of Christ alive paralyzed in an eternal Good Friday. This Pontiff and this pontificate have their great utility in the economy of salvation, we do not know yet what, But I am sure that one day, perhaps not far away, understand that even through the humoral and the apparent carelessness of this Pope that manifests itself devoid of balance, God has filled his Church of thanks, He has cleansed and set in the renewal condition for real.

.

None of this, however, can understand those who live day by day, paralyzed in the present, deprived of that great future eschatological perspective that is the hope, that theological virtue that binds together the faith and charity; and that ultimately saves us, even after being plunged into satire, including monkeys playing at the queens and court jesters who think they are the authentic teachers of the Church, or better … from the “new church” born from “irreversible revolutions”.

L'There. Prof. Rocco Buttiglione

Rocco Buttiglione, distinguished political and academic, certainly not require extensive presentations for de Readers The Island of Patmos. Recently he laid out his name with a series of publications in defense of the doctrine of the Post-Synodal love, joy the possibility of allowing some to the Communion living divorced and remarried more uxorio. Among these publications, the latest and most complete, is the titled monograph Replies (friendly) to critical love, joy, which it appeared last October in bookstores [see WHO]. In it the argumentative system of Buttiglione leverages the subjective conditions of mortal sin, which are based on the full warning and deliberate consent. A few weeks ago I dedicated this book, It is mainly to its central thesis about the adhesion of The joy of love Thomism, an article on The Island of Patmos [see WHO]. After a few days I sent to Hon. Prof. Rocco Buttiglione who very kindly not only responded, but it is made available to release to the telematics columns of this ecclesial theology magazine interview where we wanted to clarify the issues in depth. Concludes the reader which of the two parts, in this interview-dialogue, He has exposed the most convincing arguments regarding this serious matter for the life of the Church. In any case, the fact that, being able to talk with someone so deeply cultured and unprejudiced, it's a great pleasure, and at the same time also an honor, for any student of philosophical sciences.

________________________________________________________

Ivo Kerže - In His Book [by. 2.3] she states, starting in Article I-II, contest. 94, a. 6 from the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas, that the natural law is known to all of us by nature as the first principles, which they are actually quite generic, among them the fundamental one to do good and avoid evil. So far we all agree. In the same song, But, Aquinas speaks of the possibility of a darkening of the natural law in us with respect to the knowledge of the principles seconds - they are the most concrete, such as those of the decalogue - and to the knowledge of the correct application of the principles to the individual case. She concludes that, when about the prohibition of adultery it occurs such a darkening - which is a principle -, then there is full awareness and so there is no mortal sin. In this first part of the interview would stop me on the first point, regarding the darkening of the principles seconds, leaving the issue of the application for the second part. My first objection is that St. Thomas speaks in the passage quoted that this darkening can be caused by "evil persuasions», «vicious customs» ed «corrupt habits». All three names denote a vicious character - bad, right, corrupt ―, presuppose that seems so innocent ignorance. In addition, the cited passage - at the end of response ― the first chapter of Letter to the Romans where the Apostle is indeed a corrupt society but in a way guilty [cf. 1 Rom 20], because he knew what was good to do, but he did not do it.

.

Rocco Buttiglione - Ringtones eminent theologianæ, I-II seems to me clear. The secondary principles of natural law - and the prohibition of adultery is one of them - can be eradicated from the human heart in two ways: for a cognitive error similar to what can happen in speculative knowledge and a vice. The cognitive error is always bad but not always resulting moral fault. The bad conviction It may be a simple error without fault or it can also be the effect of a bad deed that the person is a victim rather than the protagonist. Think of a child raised in a cannibal culture where parents and other influential personalities of the tribe have taught you kill enemies and eat them is a meritorious act. The active subject of bad conviction It is the educator to the student relies. You can at least blame the student that he had given the wrong educator? No, if the educator is the parents where the subject is inclined by nature to rely. Unlike the case of the defect but also in this case the fault is at least greatly diminished if the defect is learned from a legitimate authority.

The error is easier the closer you get to the individual case. It is here that shows the difference between the wise and the armature. The subjectivism does not want to see the ethics objective side. For it any judgment of conscience must be accepted because it is consciousness created the norm. Objectivism does not want to see the subjective side of ethics. For it the consciousness is limited to transcribe the judgment of practical reason. The ethical realist sees that the moral subject must obey the conscience and consciousness for its part can make a mistake in interpreting the norm. In this case, the conscience must be respected - the subject can not be considered guilty for having followed the judgment of conscience - but his judgment should not be made absolute. It, Rather, It must be corrected through the accompaniment and discernment.

Do not forget that a cardinal principle of ethics is Thomist an erroneous binds. The conscience may be erroneous without fault. There is an honest mistake, and it apologized or at least diminishes the guilt.

I believe that these principles are absolutely traditional Catholic ethics (and Thomist).

.

Ivo Kerže - In His interpretation of texts tommasiani respect of recognition of secondary principles I find expressed what St. Thomas says in Summa Theologica I-II, contest 100, a. 1, namely that the secondary principles which are also moral precepts of the decalogue («Honor your father and your mother, and, You will not kill, Do not steal») They are known immediately (immediately, e immediately, very little consideration) by the "natural right of every man ', also that grew up in a culture anthropophagous. I agree with you that "evil persuasions"The aforementioned contest 94, a. 6 seem to contradict what I have quoted the contest 100, a. 1, because Aquinas compares them to the errors speculative about the necessary conclusions - although generally well speculative errors can be guilty, if they derived for example from the neglect -. But I think this semblance of contradiction can be solved only by distinguishing secondary principles in the moral of the Decalogue, which include the prohibition of adultery. secondary principles that are comprehensible "immediately"Anyone, and other precepts - also called the tertiary Thomist, although St. Thomas does not use this term - following, but in a more complicated manner from first principles, in which instead can interfere the "evil persuasions"And where you can then verify ignorance shuffled. Do you see any other solution of this semblance of contradiction?

.

Rocco Buttiglione - In contest 100 I-II, St. Thomas tells us that we are the first principles that are immanent in practical reason, seconds the principles derived from them through the immediate reasoning and practical consequences. To find the correct consequence of the principle in a specific case must be learned and can easily induced mistakes without guilt.

The question 94 a. 6 adds that, while in general the latter principles are known because immediately derivable from the first, however in some cases they can be eradicated from the human heart. To understand how this can happen is necessary to make a digression on the Thomist theory of attention. Because the intellect can fulfill its own operation a certain concentration of attention is required. This, however, may be less or not guilty decision of the subject or even in circumstances beyond his control. I do not think Pascal has ever known Thomistic doctrine of attention, however, it virtually coincides with the theory of Pascalian entertainment.

.

Ivo Kerže - Regarding the attention Thomist theory shows in St. Thomas eminent theologianæ, I-II, question 77, a. 2 The case of a surveyor who does not pay attention to some conclusions that soon - again uses the word "immediately'- the expected jump in the eyes. All right. But the other side of St. Thomas in Summa Theologica I-II, question 6, a. 8, where ignorance is voluntary, He says that ignorance is voluntary and so guilty when he is about what one can and must know: «willful ignorance which one can and ought to know». In the case of natural law it is precisely the things to which we must turn our attention and, Regarding the principles of the second Decalogue, that we can understand right away so easy. So the surveyors here does not enter into play, because it is not our duty to know the geometry.

.

Rocco Buttiglione - But we must know that the Holy Doctor distinguishes blameless ignorance - I do not know things that are not supposed to know - from a culpable ignorance but not bad - I do not know the things that are supposed to know because I have been negligent - and a wicked culpable ignorance - I do not know the things that are supposed to know because I will not be hampered in my will malvagia-. The first type of ignorance excludes the blame, the second decreases, the third the worse (eminent theologianæ, I-II, quædown 76, a. 3 e 4).

.

Ivo Kerže - but then in St. Thomas eminent theologianæ, I-II, question 6, a. 8, where he speaks of the relationship between ignorance and voluntary - even in Articles She cited the guilt of ignorance it depends dall'involontarietà that follows -, He speaks differently the kind of ignorance which I can not know things to know and must know how - in the passage of quædown 76: «is bound and able», in that of contest 6: «they must be able to know». In the passage of q. 76 Aquinas says what he has quoted Lei, namely that such ignorance diminishes sin without removing it entirely. In the passage of quædown 6, instead, He says that such ignorance can not cause the 'plainly. But only 'plainly reduce by itself the sin from mortal to venial (see the Of bad, in quædown 7, a. 11, arg. 3, which is in my opinion a very important piece for our theme). So I think that the text of quædown 76 It is interpreted as meaning that ignorance of what I can and I know the blame falls, but not by reducing the serious sin from mortal to venial.

.

Rocco Buttiglione - I think we need to remember first of all that sin is always an act contrary to the judgment of reason assimilated by consciousness. Coscientia erroneous obligat. The judgment may be wrong because of the ignorance of things that the subject was not supposed to know and could not know by making use of ordinary diligence. It may happen that this ignorance seconds regards the principles of natural law, more often it concerns the empirical material that makes up the minor premise of the syllogism application of secondary principles to the concrete case. This ignorance excuse wholly.

Then there is an ignorance that excuse but not quite. It covers things that the person must know and be able to know by making use of ordinary diligence but does not know. We can say that this ignorance is declassified sin from mortal to venial? I do not think this can be said. But I do not even think that we can say otherwise: that the concept of ordinary care to admit an infinite amount of gradations and I do not think we can determine in the abstract in this case the exact line between venial and mortal sin. How serious is the lack of diligence? What were its causes? Etc… Think of a student who has not studied at all for the exam and you compare it to one that has studied well all but a footnote on page. In both cases there is a lack of due diligence level, but the level of deficit is not the same.

.

Ivo Kerže - Leaving now the subject of knowledgeability of the principles seconds, let's move to another topic, on which lever is especially in His book: what concerns the ability to know the correct application of the principles. I think in his exegesis of the distinction between positive and negative precepts precepts is not highlighted enough. In fact, in I-II, quædown 94, a. 4 Angelico cites as an example of difficulty, in applying the precepts, the positive precept of the restitution of things deposited. The negative precepts of the Decalogue (the intrinsically evil), such as the prohibition of adultery, instead oblige always and always, in every circumstance application, as he explained in Comment St. Thomas to Letter to the Romans, (c). 13, l. 2. So in these cases, the error as to the application can not take place.

.

Rocco Buttiglione - There are two possible reasons error. One is the objective content of the secondary precepts of the natural law. Depending on the circumstances of the precept objective content may vary. The precept that mostly occurs (which is generally produced) but it suffers exceptions in extraordinary circumstances. This is not the case of intrinsically evil. They, as you rightly notes, are worth always and for always. They escape this one cause of failure. The second source of error is contained in the nature of the practical syllogism. The major premise is unequivocal and certain a priori, the minor premise is rather empirical and error prone. In this second type of error it does not escape even the syllogism whose major premise is a viable proposition always and for always.

.

Ivo Kerže - Regarding the less empirical premise in practical judgments can not quite understand how a mistake can occur here in the case of divorced and remarried. The major premise is in these cases the prohibition of adultery - "I do not have relationships more uxorio with a woman who is not my wife, "-, empirical minor premise is "this woman here, is not my wife, "said this wonder: in your opinion, there are people who confuse the woman he commit adultery with their wife? I think not, or perhaps in cases of mental illness or the like.

.

Rocco Buttiglione - Obviously there are cases of uncertainty about what is the real wife, otherwise they would have no reason to exist diocesan ecclesiastical tribunals, Sacred Rota and so on. A clear case in which one can apply the reference love, joy to possible access to the sacraments to divorced and remarried is precisely the belief in the consciousness of the nullity of the first marriage. In these cases themselves should have recourse to the ecclesiastical court but … not all the dioceses have a functioning ecclesiastical court, it is possible that crucial witnesses are unavailable or testify falsely and that it is impossible to provide the canonical trial, judgment may be delayed indefinitely, it is possible that the judge is wrong … The ministers of marriage are the spouses. If in them there is the will to contract a real marriage their union realizes the sacrament. If two divorcees whose previous marriages are null join with a genuine intention to double their will be a genuine marriage, although unlawfully contract, just as priestly ordinations performed by a bishop without the pope's consent is illicit but valid. You can impose as a canonical penalty for illegally marriage contract separation? Worse, you can force a man to leave the woman he in good conscience knows - or thinks he knows - to be his wife to live with another instead that he knows - or thinks he knows - not to be? The response of Amount in the text of supplement, quædown 45, a. 4 is crystal clear: rather suffer punishment canonical or seek refuge among the infidels but do not betray the woman who in all conscience I know to be my wife.

.

Ivo Kerže - As far as I know, But, a wedding - unlike the orders of ministers of the sacred - if it does not happen in front of a representative of the ecclesiastical, usually the pastor, It is not only unlawful, but also invalid. For this reason marriages celebrated in the communities of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X were not valid, until the Roman Pontiff has conferred this power in their priests 2017.

.

Rocco Buttiglione - The ministers of marriage, the spouses. The presence of the parish priest and witnesses has the function - very important - to certify that a true marriage, but it does not concern the essence of sacrament. The Church can, in external forum, refusing to recognize a marriage celebrated canonically but this is a provision of ecclesiastical discipline which can be waived for good reason. Think of the case of the school of a man and a woman isolated in a country where there are no priests; and the case is not so much school: Think of the dramatic story of the clandestine churches and persecuted in Japan, in Korea it in Albania. The Council of Trent insisted a lot on the canonical form of marriage and did so for a just reason. Just read William Shakespeare to see how many problems were born from the "elasticity" of the marriage forms before the Council of Trent. Obviously the refusal without good cause to celebrate marriage in canonical form prescribed may constitute gross negligence of disobedience to lawful authority, and also give rise to a presumption of disability but, obviously, It can not be absolute, is true that until proven otherwise. In other words marriage celebrated without the priest but with an authentic Intensity and conjugal affection It is real marriage before God. The canonical order, But, for its own purposes, It may refuse to recognize. It does not know whether it is true marriage and therefore refuses to consider it as such. More exactly: Marriage exists if the content of the spouses will coincide with the contents of Christian marriage. If this content has not been established in the form prescribed by canon law the canonical order does not have a certainty about it and assumed that there is a genuine marriage. Hence the issues - fortunately exceeded - for the recognition of marriages celebrated by the priests of the Society of St. Pius X.

.

Ivo Kerže - However it seems to me that here we have gone beyond the topic of Communion for divorced and remarried. Divorce assumes originally a valid marriage. The case of the invalidity of the marriage that you have put here in relief seems a different theme.

 

.

Rocco Buttiglione - Not exactly. The divorce does not require a valid marriage but simply the choice of the parties to apply to the civil courts instead of the ecclesiastical. They can make this choice because we are convinced that the ecclesiastical court will not dissolve the bond but also because non-believers or simply because they want to regulate their economic relations and for the moment does not intend to enter into a new relationship. It happens that later, after he remarried, some want to return to the sacraments. They then present messy situations that ecclesiastical tribunals are not always able to solve. Let's just coincidence, that's probably more frequent. Two young baptized only superficially evangelized they marry. Every marriage between baptized persons is a sacrament. Why is a sacrament, But, just that the words of the double formula is pronounced? Or they need to be understood in the sense of the Catholic Church - for example including the willingness to have children, the duty of loyalty, the commitment to witness to the love each other God in all circumstances of life etc … ―. What happens if the formula was made without understanding what it really did mean? The Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith took care of the problem and its prefect, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, It was inclined to believe that in those cases there was not a real marriage but felt that the matter should be further investigated.

What if in this, and in other similar cases, it was not possible to produce the canonical nullity of the trial but the confessor will convince not only the penitent believes in good faith that the true marriage is the second but he probably is right? Admit to communion, after having taken all reasonable precautions to avoid scandal, It would really be so wrong?

We have to remember the fact that the judgment of the ecclesiastical court is merely declaratory. It does not undo a valid marriage but declares that the marriage was never valid. It is possible that the judges being misled and to declare null and void a marriage that is valid instead? Despite all the efforts and all the care you can. It is possible that the judges are misled and declare invalid a marriage that is void instead? It's possible, indeed it is even more possible because the court acts based on a presumption of validity of the constraint. In other words, the court will declare that the hypothecation in all doubtful cases in which there is no proof of disability and even that of the validity. Even more is possible that the person does not have the possibility of recourse to the ecclesiastical court.

There are cases - a few or many do not know - in which the divorced remarried may have good reasons to tell the confessor to ask to be able to be admitted to communion, during a journey of penance and reconciliation to the faith.

ONE FINAL NOTE

Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p. e Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo

Father John Carlson, o.p. and I, now known as the Fathers de The Island of Patmos, we thank the elder philosopher and the young philosopher why their interview: l'On. Prof. Rocco Buttiglione and Dr.. Ivo Kerže, because theirs is a conversation that makes us happy and deeply honors us.

This dialogue represents the fruitful exchange that for centuries has characterized the best and most fruitful theological debates, before he could be reached at the current times in which he slipped into the worst moodiness self-righteous in the name of defense of a truth that for many is that just because a subjective, all manifested through that iocentrism which was replaced - as years I go complaining -, al christocentrism. All proceeds to spur beaten mostly by old heresies return, Today, unfortunately, the most current of the past and of which speaks of the recent text God has pleased, He commented a few days after his release from Father John and myself Cavalcoli [see WHO].

Just as I explained this morning in Rome the Sisters of the Holy Spirit in meditation at the Holy Gospel of the day [cf. GV 7, 40-53]: If the scribes and Pharisees did not believe, then nobody should believe. Like this, their non-belief, It becomes the certainty of truth that Christ Jesus is not from God, but instead he's just God from God, light from light, True God from God [God from God, Light from Light, True God from true God].

It's really terrible think you can say, like the Pharisees told in this passage of the holy Gospel [cf. GV 7, 40-53] that if I do not think, then the Lord Christ is false and therefore you even, you have to believe. All this based on the fact that my faith is raised to certainty for your faith. If for what I believe, you believe, but if I do not believe, you must not believe, because it is from me that certainty that emanates holding the truth.

I always remember an article written by Father Giovanni Cavalcoli a few years ago, in which he devotes stern words to the worst pride: intellectual pride, it is no coincidence that he defines as "apology of pride ' [see WHO, WHO].

This act It is the horrible blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, that for which Christ, God warns:

"Therefore I tell you: Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whosoever speaketh evil of the Son of Man will be forgiven; but the blasphemy against the Spirit, It will not be forgiven, either in this century, nor in the future " [cf. Mt 12, 31-32]

The lack of remission is due to the fact that this kind of blasphemy not only closes, because the consequence of such a closure is the destruction of every action of grace. Because of this, the Church of Christ, God has given the mandate to absolve sinners sins [cf. GV 20, 19-31], It has no right to grant remission for grave sin against the Holy Spirit dell'impenitente totally refractory to any form of repentance and obstinate in sin [cf. St. Augustine, No speech. 71 on the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, text in Italian WHO].

The sins against the Holy Spirit, known as "blasphemy against the Spirit", are six, and it is perhaps worth remembering that they are: the appeal of the known truth and envy the gifts of grace, to which is added the attempt to destroy the brother's spiritual gifts; the despair of salvation and the presumption of salvation without merit; stubbornness in sin and final impenitence.

Today, the "Blasphemy against the Spirit", in my opinion - and of course it is, It is an opinion so modest as it is personal -, no longer it occurs in a so-called "classic", but a lot more refined and severe forms, for example through that diabolic inversion process by which the asset becomes bad and good evil, vice virtue and virtue vice, the revealed truth and heterodoxy heterodoxy the only authentic truth revealed. All this inevitably leads to live stubbornly in blasphemy, sin unto death; the terrible state of sin that St. Thomas Aquinas indicates how "obstinacy in sin ' [Summa Theologica, II-II, 14, 2].

Our two philosophers, dialogue showed the deep desire that drives them to seek the truth, but never to impose one's own truth, because the truth - and with it the grace and forgiveness of God -, It remains enclosed in the unfathomable mystery of the heart of the One to whom we acclaim: We believe in one God, Father Almighty, poet of heaven and earth, visible and invisible [I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible].

Who really need the truth, trying to make an instrument of truth, Never detach a moment of their lives from the Easter candle, who is Christ the light of the world before which none of us sings: “Oh, my God, as I am truthfully!”. Far from it. Before Christ Light of the world we sing praises to our sin on intuitive inspiration of St. Thomas Aquinas: «or felix blame, , which gained for us so great a Redeemer» [O happy fault, which he made us deserve so great a Redeemer]. Because "Where sin increased, abounded grace » [RM 5, 20].

All this is very clear to our two philosophers, it is not an, Unfortunately, new suffering Pelagian heresy return, whose conversion shall never cease to pray, so that they can get out of the dimension iocentric to penetrate that dimension Christocentric which leads us to the eternal mystery of salvation.

Salvation and perdition. The placuit Deo is the Pascendi Dominici Gregis of the Supreme Pontiff Francis I

/1 Comment/in /by

SALVATION AND DESTRUCTION. THE it was God AND THE Shepherd the Lord's flock OF POPE FRANCIS I

.

You do not seem incongruous or risky to compare God has pleased at the Feeding of Dominic's Sheep of the Holy Pontiff Pius X. One might observe that they differ profoundly, because the second is severe, while the former is forgiving. but yet, beyond the historical climate changed, between the two documents there is a continuity: Pius X had to face the problem modernistic. The reigning pontiff had to take up the issue, because the modernism of the times of his predecessor Pius X, as Maritain said in 1966, a "modest hayfever than the neo-modernist fever" of our day.

the Pope Francis I on the episcopal throne of St. John Lateran

The letter God has pleased of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith [see text WHO], It is a topic of extreme importance, Whereas, in the past few decades - more precisely since the end of Vatican Council II -, They have come to light new theories, but also many heresies, not yet won, whereby, This intervention of the Church, It is truly providential, illuminating, comforting and consoling for all Catholics eager to see the triumph of sound doctrine, and freed the souls dall'insidia error, which it is an obstacle on the way of salvation.

.

This text It should be read in continuity with another important document dating back to eighteen years ago, the declaration Lord Jesus [see text WHO], desired by the Holy Father John Paul II and signed at the time by the then prefect of the Congregation itself, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. We begin then by saying that salvation, in general, is the state of happiness of those who have escaped a danger, especially if a death; and it is the act with which the savior subtracts danger to the person to whom gives salvation. We can save ourselves, if the problem is not excessive; but the greatest difficulties we need someone more capable of us, saved us, doing we eventually, Behind his orders, if we have the forces, what we can and must do to cooperate to the action of savior or rescuer. The dynamics of the salvation that comes from men's figure and image of the one that comes from God.

.

In religions the man is conscious of being in a dangerous condition, misery, of slavery, of suffering, of sinfulness, enmity with God, that makes you wish that God, His benevolent Lord, have mercy on him and succor. But it feels indebted to God for sins committed. Thus with God an account opened. He considers the pains of life as a punishment for such sins and offers sacrifices to God in atonement and reparation, hoping to appease, to obtain forgiveness and mercy and to be raised and saved from their misery, Financo from death.

.

Religions have awareness that, for the achievement of the highest aspirations - union with God, holiness, freedom from sin and death, life and eternal happiness - but man must obey God, but above all must ask God for this salvation. Everyone, unless they are proud of perfect, They feel in many ways the need for salvation, but not everyone knows what is it and how you get. Many, as this note Letter, for salvation means only salvation from physical illness or poverty material or at least be freed from a tyranny political or social. They do not realize, or do not know that to achieve true happiness, they need, and if they want a chance to be freed by God from sin, from the bondage of the devil and death.

.

This text, shorter than Lord Jesus that preceded it, it is striking in the way it alludes to many of today's heresies, or what we might define as the season of the return of the great heresies. No, the names, but anyone who wants to understand, seize in the first lines to those reference is made. We try then, considering the ideas, to understand in which currents, trends, schools or the document authors can refer, especially those authors who have already been censored by the Church or by the best theologians in ancient times or recent.

.

THEMES ALREADY PROCESSED FROM POPE FRANCIS I

.

The God has pleased it refers, without quoting him at length, to the speech given by the Supreme Pontiff in Florence to the representatives of the V ° National Convention of the Italian Church, the 10 November 2015. A speech that is worth remembering in this context and in which are presented as two tendencies within the Church temptations. A, is the temptation Pelagian, that

.

"It leads us to have confidence in the structures, in organizations, in perfect schedules because abstract. Often it takes us well to take a control style, hardness, normativity. The standard gives the Pelagianizing security to feel superior, to have a precise orientation. This finds its strength, not in the lightness of the breath of the Spirit. In front of ills or problems of the Church it is useless to look for solutions in conservatism and fundamentalism, in the restoration of pipelines and even culturally outdated forms that have ability to be significant. The Christian doctrine is not a closed system incapable of generating questions, doubts, questions, but it is alive, sa unrest, to animation. He does not face stiff, It has a body that moves and develops, It has tender meat: Christian doctrine is called Jesus Christ. The reform of the Church then - and the Church is always reform - is alien to Pelagianism. It does not end in yet plan to change structures. It does mean graft and rooted in Christ leaving lead by the Spirit. Then everything will be possible with genius and creativity ".

.

Suggested action by the Supreme Pontiff this rigid and closed mentality is the "root in Christ" and let themselves be led by the "lightness of the breath of the Spirit", that Spirit who "renews the face of the earth". This Spirit prevents us from being too certain of our ideas and too conscious of our strength. It makes our creative fidelity and gives us wings that lift us above measures and human calculations, to make us wander and fly in the boundless horizons of holiness. And these steps, anyone who pays attention will take deep breath of some of the fundamental elements of the Encyclical Faith and Reason of the Holy Pontiff John Paul II. Just as it is not difficult to recognize in the words of the Pope on the issue lefebvrismo, with its unilateral call to Sacred Tradition, tied to a mindset undoubtedly and rightly concerned about the immutability of dogma and certainty, but closed to doctrinal progress made since Vatican II and consequently to the Magisterium of the Church following up current, it accuses of heresy modernistic. That the overflow after the Council unfortunately Modernism, it is a fact not easily subject to denial, but this objective problem, come noi of Padri The Island of Patmos we always highlighted, It must not lead to a truly poisonous error, which then is as follows: It asserts that the many heterodox drifts mold mostly modernistic, the postcouncil, It is a consequence of "obvious" and totally "natural" of Vatican II. Indeed, affirm this, as well as false, It is indeed wicked.

.

In the minds of Lefebvre the process of dogmatic deduction crashed to the Magisterium of the Venerable Pope Pius XII, for which he ceased to advance in the name of fidelity to Tradition and the preservation of the deposit of faith, of which the first, the eyes of Lefebvre, It would have been upset, while the second would be abandoned. That is to say that in the transition from teaching dogma of Pius XII to that of the Council, this would not be in continuity, but he broke with that, in other words he would have disproved or falsified.

.

The lefebvrismo certainly distinguishes nature from grace, but aims on the works too, on the merits and on the strength of reason and will, running the risk of formalism, legalism, of ritualism, of complacency and self-righteous moral rigor, almost wanting to regulate the work itself with an abundance of grace and leaving little space to the initiative of the Spirit. His conservatism preserves what is exceeded and rejects as falsehoods evangelical novelty of the Spirit, exchanging renovation to infidelity; knows that the full grace nature, but he does not know that nature is anticipated from grace. Now an idea of ​​this kind presupposes and admits the possibility that the papal and conciliar magisterium falling into heresy, which it is by that very heretic, because it would deny the promise of Christ made to Peter that the "gates of hell", or the power of darkness can not destroy the Church. But deny the promises of Christ is a heretic. So, the belief that the Council has fallen into heresy is heresy in turn.

.

Pelagian and Gnostic

.

The God has pleased complaint those who believe they can achieve divine status by their own efforts, as if the man onsite itself innately divine power or because they believe that God's grace is reward for their efforts - the Pelagians - or because they believe they have by itself an absolute knowledge and superhuman, this - the Gnostics -, It gives itself to know the way of a sublime salvation, that enables them to attain divine power and freedom. For them, their body and human nature are capable of being manipulated or malleable to their liking, in a continuous historical development, without having any obligation to undergo an immutable moral law established by a transcendent and personal God, since God, for their, it is only the absolute bottom of their self. What matters, for their, It is their free will; it alone is good and divine; the body and matter are ephemeral appearances; their laws are seen as obstacles to freedom, for which the subject feels free to operate on the body and humans according to the principle of the Epicurean pleasure or what nietzschiano domain.

.

The God has pleased notes that this division heretics in the Pelagian and Gnostic, own these ancient heresies, He responds to recurring deviations of Christianity, so even today reflected in a modern heresies, without obviously coincide fully with them. Consider, for example phenomena such as Lutheranism, modernism, rahnerism, lefebvrismo and the Liberation Theology. The first four can be traced back to Gnosticism; the last to Pelagianism. This is clear, if we refer to the words used by the God has pleased to describe Pelagianism and contemporary Gnosticism.

.

He says it in fact:

.

"On the one hand, individualism centered on the autonomous subject tend to see man as, the realization of which depends on its own strength,. In this vision, the figure of Christ corresponds to a model that inspires generous actions, with his words and his gestures, that not to Him that transforms the human condition, incorporating us into a new existence reconciled with the Father and with one another through the Spirit [cf. 2 Color 5,19; Ef 2,18]. Individualism self-centered person tends to see the man as a being whose realization depends on his own strength ".

.

This is the principle of the Cartesian theory of knowledge cogito, that in the following centuries will lead to Kant and German Idealism, from which rises, by reaction, Marxist materialism and that of the nineteenth century evolutionary. Here we recognize the setting of liberation theology, influenced by Marx, or the anthropology materialistic evolutionism of Teilhard de Chardin influenced by Darwin, in which man, collectively or personally, climbs the ladder of evolution to Christ, but it does not appear as Redeemer, but only as a liberator, Sum template personal and social human perfection.

.

Continue to God has pleased:

.

"On the other hand, It spreads the vision of a purely inner salvation, which arouses even a strong personal conviction, or an intense feeling, to be united to God, but without assuming, heal and renew our relationships with others and with the created world. With this perspective, it becomes difficult to grasp the sense of the Incarnation of the Word, so He became a member of the human family, taking on our flesh and our history, For us men and for our salvation ".

.

We observe that the prospect of salvation 'purely internal' is the Lutheran, which, joint with cogito Cartesian, will produce in the nineteenth century, the subjectivist idealism and pantheistic German. Because it is the subject, considering themselves already enlightened by God, It rejects the mediation of the senses - Descartes - and the Church - Luther -. The Letter then comes better understood in the light of what the Pope said in Florence on Gnosticism, namely that it

.

'Leads to trust in logical and clear thinking, who, however, lost the tenderness of the meat of his brother. The charm of Gnosticism is "a faith locked into subjectivism, which affects only a particular experience or a series of arguments and knowledge that you think will comfort and enlighten, but where ultimately subject is closed immanence of his own reason and his feelings " [the gospel of joy, 94]. The difference between the Christian transcendence and any form of spiritualism Gnostic is in the mystery. Do not put it into practice, not lead the Word to reality, It means to build on sand, remain in the pure idea and degenerate into intimacies that do not give fruit, that make sterile its dynamism ».

.

The God has pleased He explains well the words of the Supreme Pontiff:

.

"It thus claims to free the person from the body and the material universe, in which they find more traces of the provident hand of the Creator, but you only see a reality meaningless, alien identity of the last person, and manipulated according to the interests of man ' [n.3].

.

I Gnosticism, for Pope Francis I, as affirmed also deep interiority, is a thinking closed in on itself and then sterile. It is the idealist thinking. "He says and does" [Mt 23,3], as Christ warns us of the Pharisees. But the idealist - here the gnostic - does not produce good fruit, not so much because it does not act or does not give to do or you adagi into laziness in a kind of quietism,quite the opposite, they, without embracing the ethical idealism of Fichte, it is very active, but only for his own interests.

.

If a Dear John says that everything is thought, does not deny the action, indeed it gives such importance, that the subject puts himself in being [autoctisis]. Rahner comes to say that the subject determines his will his own essence or his own nature. But this act detached from the attention clear and honest to the divine reality, the reality of human nature and the objective moral law, is at the end is a non-action, or a senseless act, and in any case an disobey God's law. So the idealist, in the end, not grasp the reality, the "thing in itself" - as he himself says Kant -; does not grasp, would the Blessed Antonio Rosmini "neither be real, nor the moral being, "and even the true" being perfect ", but only its false ideas and imaginations, ma, known as the Pope, It remains detached from reality, at the risk of falling into nihilism or solipsism.

.

The exorbitant claims of the Gnostic, that the real is identified with his unerring idea of ​​reality and that being, even the divine, coincides with his thoughts, It is punished with detachment from reality, a detachment that is sometimes truly tragic [1]. He says the Pope:

.

"The idea detached from reality and idealism originates nominalisms ineffective, that at most classify or define, but not involving. What involves is reality illuminated by reasoning " [2].

.

Reality, for the idealist - see for example here Husserl -, it makes no sense in itself, by itself and by itself, a precise and intelligible sense, given by the Creator, an independent way from the man and that man must discover, respect and, if it is the moral law, put into practice; but the man claims, with its a priori categories, to be him to give way to a reality meaningless. And here we see the Gnostic contempt for the body and for the real in general. The body, for the gnostic, It is not good in itself, but it's up to him, with its free will, by virtue of his divine interiority, determine at will the good and the bad about the physical and sexual life, replacing God in legislating the conduct to follow and replacing, with its violence and its lust, the wise inclinations and laws laid down by God in human nature.

.

A PROVIDENTIAL NEW IN THE HISTORY OF THE PAPAL TEACHINGS

.

The remarkable thing in these words, a new fact that we do not hesitate to consider the historical significance in the history of the papal Magisterium, It is that for the first time a Pope condemns in no uncertain terms Gnosticism calling him by his name; by that name that had once been called by scholars, policyholders who had reported the dangerous return, but without meeting compliance in the Papal Magisterium. Categories used by previous popes since the nineteenth century, that more can be approached to Gnosticism, were only those of rationalism, idealism and pantheism. The Popes of the times of the historical Gnosticism certainly became aware of the danger and the first theologians fought him, even without being explicit condemnation documents, limiting itself to qualify it as a whole as a result of intellectual pride, which then constitutes the essence or spirit of Gnosticism, which certainly appears to be yielding to the temptation of evil generative want to "be like God". Like this, the Holy Pontiff Pius X, in its Feeding of Dominic's Sheep It qualifies as an effect of pride Modernism, which can undoubtedly be considered as the reborn Gnosticism of our times, if ever Gnosticism has ceased to act more or less openly in the history of thought and heresies. What is it heresy, if the effect of pride and, in tal senso, of Gnosticism? And who is the heretic, but he that, believed to possess the supreme knowledge, is convinced to know Christ better the Pope or against the Pope? Or learn more about God of Jesus Christ, as Severino and Heidegger? Or as Mohammed?

.

There are many forms of Gnosticism, where the gnostic stands to judge the sacred text of their religion. Thus there is a Jewish Gnosticism [3] and Spinoza jew or Kabbalà They demanded to know more about God of the Bible; Averroes claims to know God better the Koran; Nirvana Buddha claims to know the best of the sacred texts of Brahmanism; Giordano Bruno [4] He wanted to go by the Roman Pontiff to convince him that his magic-hermetic doctrine of Christianity was best for man's salvation, ma, as we know, she went wrong; Freemasonry claims to possess the supreme knowledge best of all religions [5], the Theosophical Helena Blavatsky, inspirer of the esoteric doctrines of Nazism [6], He gave to understand a million people to be able to teach her, with theosophy [7], the way of eternal salvation better than Jesus Christ could.

.

CHARACTERS of Gnosticism

.

I Gnosticism, indeed, He is claiming to know God more and better than man is allowed to know and, in Christian camp, He is claiming to know Christ more and better than what we are taught by the Magisterium of the Church. A This contrasts, almost opposite extremism, agnosticism, who, under the pretext of the weakness of human reason and covering of the robe of a false humility, refuses to accept what reason itself can know about God and what Christ reveals to us about God through the Magisterium of the Church. The gnostic does not need to reach to know that God exists and who God is and how it operates based on the experience of things or why instructed by a human or ecclesiastical magisterium, because he believes they already know without saying anything, a priori, starting from its simple self-consciousness, for he believes that God does not exist independently of this self-consciousness, but it is precisely in place by it-prioricamente. Because of this, I gnostico, considering themselves by themselves and on their own in the possession of the supreme knowledge or absolute science - precisely the Gnosis -, possibly by means of the concept - Hegel - [8], He is considered authorized and capable of judging or censoring any doctrine of God, including that of the Church, and then to reject it as false, if it does not correspond to his idea of ​​God.

.

The issue of ancient Gnosticism He has had a strong increase in the last century, when documents were discovered Gnostic. It is then much discussion of what should be understood by "Gnosticism", a term that derives from the greek gnosis= Science or knowledge. They were called - and called themselves - "Gnostic" [gnostikòi] a group of the second or third century theologians, which, imbued with pagan doctrines, especially Platonic and religious mythology, They were particularly interested in the problem of salvation, who played as an inner experience of an ineffable God, while the action and the external material world appeared to them as the principle of evil and therefore extraneous to the saving experience as a mystical experience of God and supreme knowledge - gnosis ―, secret and esoteric, select few, of the truth. According to their ethics and therefore salvation is exhausted into the horizon of this inner subjective experience as a self-gnostic, a foreign and hostile spirit to matter. So for them there was no binding ethic, commanded by God, against body, society and the world, vain appearances left to their free choice, especially since in the end the freedom for them was just that intimate spirit pervaded by God, free from the shackles of the body. Certainly not above the licentiousness of the flesh, convinced that the matter of the body there were divine commands, although happening they passed the contrary excess of rigor, for they saw the body as the beginning of evil. This kind of Gnosticism reappeared in southern France with the heresy of the Cathars in the thirteenth century [9].

.

The early Christian theologians they realized the importance of the knowledge of God in the Christian life, something so tied to the value of truth, but they did not exaggerate the power and reach of knowledge, cleverly connected with the duties of the Christian life and framed in the upper area of ​​charity, in communion with the Church. The true gnosis could and should be accepted and respected, but it had to be rejected as false. So it was that while Clement of Alexandria could define a Christian as a "gnostic", St. Irenaeus was devoted to refuting the false gnosis. However, Beyond this historic categorization, calling Gnosticism as a phenomenon limited in time, the Letter also it suggests a broader sense as a constant attitude of mind, which is summed up essentially in intellectual pride, so it can exist as much a gnosticismo spiritualistic since one materialistic, such a dualistic Manichaean, As one monistic pantheism, so much a lax, As one penalty taker.

.

Merit of a throw light on the question of Gnosticism in relation to modernity, goes in the last century to the German Hans Jonas [10]. Others, like John Filoramo, highlighted the pantheistic tendency of gnosis [11]. Emanuele Samek Lodovici showed the dissolving action of Gnosticism in contemporary thought. The Proceedings Phenomenology, gnose, metaphysical, held at the Sorbonne in 1997, curated by Natalie Depraz and Jean-François Marquet [12], Gnosticism show of Schelling and Husserl.

.

THE CONTEMPORARY GNOSTICISM

.

In order to understand the substance of these words of the Pope, It must focus on and join her the following expressions:

.

"A certain neo-gnosticism, for its part, It has a purely inner salvation, locked into subjectivism " [n.3] and "a faith locked into subjectivism, ... where ultimately subject is closed immanence of his own reason and his feelings " [The gospel of joy, n. 94].

.

who the God has pleased It refers to the return of idealistic-pantheistic modernism originated by Hegel, who finds a remarkable expression in the theology of Karl Rahner, for which being is being thought, so all the real, including God, It is a thought immanent in the self Cartesian origin. Everything is in the ego, everything is ego and nothing outside the self. At the idealistic conception of knowledge and consciousness, which entails the primacy of thought and idea, ie of the subject, being and the real, ie object, the Pope in the gospel of joy It opposes the biblical-Thomist realistic conception of the "primacy of reality on the idea" [n. 231], that involves the the conformity of intellect and thing and then the subjection of human thought to the divine. This ensures a correct anthropology and sound moral, It founded on the universal and immutable law of nature.

.

The God has pleased It is then to order the gnoseology historicist of Cardinal Walter Kasper[13], for which the subject, in its historicity, determines the object, that consequently changes with the changing of the subject. In this way, the change touches, as in Hegel, the essence of truth, Dogma, of natural law and the divine nature; and theses, we remember it, They have already been condemned by Feeding of Dominic's Sheep of the Holy Pontiff Pius X. And here also it affects the conception subjectivist and idealistic consciousness of the Father Arturo Sosa, we have already refuted on The Island of Patmos [cf. WHO]. In accordance with this conception of the consciousness, namely the idea, no obligation to adapt to the real, in absolute terms and in any case so; and therefore such a precise moral law, objective, universal, unchangeable, but rule on itself.

.

Returning to the text of God has pleased, states that

.

"Individualism is the neo-Pelagian that the neo-Gnostic contempt for the body disfigure their confession of faith in Christ, Unique and universal Savior " [n.4] and "also contradicts the sacramental economy through which God wanted to save the human person" [n.13]. "The place where we receive the salvation brought by Jesus is the Church" [n.12]: understand "this salvific mediation of the Church is an essential help to overcome any tendency reductionist". [there]. Salvation "is not obtained with individual strength alone, as stated in the neo-Pelagianism, but through the relationships that arise from the incarnate Son of God and forming the communion of the Church " [there]. Moreover, Contrary to the neo-gnostic vision of "a purely inner salvation", the Church "is a visible community: in it we touch the flesh of Jesus, in a singular way in the most poor and suffering brethren " [there] through "the corporal and spiritual works of mercy ' [n.14].

.

THERE IS ALSO AGNOSTICISM

.

But there is also a form of Gnosticism agnostic. You do not seem, this, a contradiction, then we explain in this regard that it is the claim to possess an immediate experience of God in a way athematic, preconceptual, autocoscienziale priori and prior to and independent of things from the experience and conceptual knowledge of God, both the philosophical and the dogmatic, transmitted by the Church, which experience does not intellectually expresses the content of the original experience of God, but it is a derivative within the imagination or emotional and creative symbolism. Therefore we do not have here a real conceptual knowledge of God, objective, universal, certain and unchangeable, that produces a fides, one saving truth the same for everyone and forever, but a multiplicity of "rings", ie subjective opinions about God, relative and changing, all too true, although in contradiction between their, because the truth is not what is in itself, independently of me, It is not universal, but it is what appears to me and I decide. Needless to say, this is a heretical nullification of the foundation of faith "one Lord, one faith, one baptism " [cf. Ef 4, 4-6]. And this just before described is Gnosticism rahneriano, Gnostic and at the same time agnostic. Gnosticismo, for the experience claim a priori "transcendental" God, for which God appears even as "ultimate horizon of human self-transcendence". Other than Pelagianism: Here we are right in pantheism!

.

Agnostic, because the truth of God is not understood in the concept, although metaphysical, analog or transcendental, and then in the dogma, but only in that experience in itself ineffable and therefore inexpressible. It gave, so, per Rahner, is "absolute mystery", not relative to what for us of God is unknown and transcends the finitude of our understanding, since it is clear that God, as it revealed to us by Christ through the Church, It not is unknown, there is no mystery, but we know him in concepts and dogmatic formulas.

.

Per Rahner, instead, we can not distinguish God what we know - to Revelation - from what is unknown to us and transcends us to the Divine Essence infinity. But God is absolutely Unknown to the concept, just like l 'Agnoston the ancient Gnostics; quell’agnosticismo, that the Holy Pontiff Pius X, in Feeding of Dominic's Sheep condemns referring it to "Unknowable".

.

The Pelagianism is instead that conception of the relationship between human works and grace, for which the grace is simply the help given by God for the doing of good, and is the final refinement, Certain, supernatural, granted by God, the efforts and works of reason and human wills. In short grace, for Pelagianism, It is the final fulfillment of human transcendence, which which it arrives at the height of its possibilities. This idea is also found in Rahner, who, therefore, in this respect, you can consider Pelagian. In Pelagianism, so, as is known, the initiative and the beginning of salvation is not from God, but by man and for human merit. Grace completes and rewards the work of man. We have the grace resulting, but not the grace prevenient. There is the grace cooperating with the work of man, but not the grace operating, that moves man to salvation and saves.

.

The Supreme Pontiff, in the gospel of joy, He describes the neo-Pelagianism, indicated as

.

«Self of those who ultimately rely solely on their own strength and feel superior to others, because they observe certain rules or because adamantly faithful Catholic to a certain style typical of the past. And 'an alleged security doctrinal or disciplinary, which gives rise to a narcissistic and authoritarian elitism, where is that, Instead of evangelizing, They analyze and classify others and instead of facilitating access to grace, They consume energy in controlling. In both cases' - that is neognosticism and neopelagianesimo - "are manifestations of a immanentism anthropocentric" [n.94].

.

It is not difficult to trace in this description Lefebvre. However, there is no one pelagianism Lefebvre, but there is also a modernist, as for example that of Rahner. Indeed, as we have seen, general characteristic of Pelagianism is the over-reliance on their own strength, which leads us to understand grace not as a perfective addition to nature and a gratuitous overcoming of nature's limits, But as the deadline, due to the nature, the unstoppable development orientation must, existential and essential to God, right of every man. The Lefebvre stiffens in store; the rahneriano stiffens in changing. The one and the other are some of its more than Christ was certain of his ideas.

.

Rahner, in particular, It conceives the relationship nature-grace as a transcendence or necessary historical development of all human action, until you get to the life of grace, seamlessly. As for Rahner human nature is unlimited, The is easy to pass the limit and live in grace. It confuses the availability of nature to grace - power oboedientialis - with the active power of man to realize himself, and with the passivity or malleability of the corporeal nature towards his will [14].

.

At the opposite pole of Pelagianism [one nature], It is Gnosticism, in which the nature is absorbed by the grace [Sola gratia]. who the Letter evidently it underlies the heresy opposite to that rationalist Pelagio, namely that fideist Luther, which he admits but prevenient grace and operating, but not that consequent and cooperating. Pelagio exaggerates the merit, Luther nega. Luther, indeed, as is known, excludes rightly that grace can be earned by the son of Adam, but neglect the existence of the supernatural about, that depends on the work done in grace, who will cooperate with the grace and therefore deserve salvation and the heavenly reward, whereby salvation is conditioned by the performance of good works, done the grace. It's here, Pelagius, he's right.

.

THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS OF GRACE

.

Excellent idea of ​​the God has pleased, On the subject of grace, to remember the distinction between healing grace and elevating grace - that is, between the grace that forgives sins and saves our humanity, tracing it back to innocence - and that grace even more free, for which man is elevated to a child of God, in the image of the Son, moved by the Holy Spirit. In fact, today the Christian and New Testament idea of ​​sonship is often trivialized and degraded, because of a fraternity Enlightenment of flavor, So, each man for the simple fact of being a man, He appears as "brother" and "son of God". This means confuse what is the evangelical call to universal salvation and to live the life of God's children in the Catholic Church, with false and unfounded supposition - that the anonymous Christianity ie Rahner [15] - that all men, perhaps unconsciously, are de facto children of God, in grace, invariably and irresistibly tending to salvation. The evidently contrasts with the teaching of Christ[16] and with the Catholic dogma that "not everyone is saved" [17], ie with the dogma of hell, which it is not a corrective punishment, but punitive, because the damn thing is forever and irrevocably in a position to have finally chosen to oppose God, which does not allow him - and even he wants - to repent and mend, finality, which are pursued by the corrective penis.

.

This property of the infernal punishment is the reason of the conviction in 1998 by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the thesis of Professor. Luigi Lombardi Vallauri, professor at the Catholic University of Milan, who maintained that the dogma of hell is an "unconstitutional" belief [in that] no act however serious it may deserve eternal punishment [and why] It is contrary to the most advanced principles of law, and specifically the right influenced by Christianity, a penalty which in no way blind to the re-education and rehabilitation of the offender '. Instead, in the false belief, supported by Rahner and others, that, however things, everyone is saved, It rises unduly, in essence, a simple one faculty belonging to all - to choose either for God or against God – a real choice for God by all. It lowers the incomparable dignity of the free gift of God, supernatural and free, whose contribution is conditioned by the free response of each, the size of the essential and necessary structure of human nature, common to all, saints and criminals. The message of salvation is no longer: "You can save by grace, if you obey the law of God ", but "you're all saved by grace alone and by faith alone, apart from works of faith ". Which then it is nothing but heresy of Luther.

.

CRISTO, ONE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD

.

The God has pleased proposes the fundamental Christian teaching about the nature, the ways and means of salvation, whereby we get the teaching obedience and salvation by uniting us to Christ, only Savior of the world[18] and then incorporating us into the Church, Body of Christ. The Letter reminds the fact that n ° 2

.

"The Christian faith confession, that proclaims Jesus as the only Savior of the whole man and of all humanity [cf. At 4,12; Rom 3,23-24; 1 TM 2,4-5; Tit 2,11-15].

.

This text is reunited with the dogma of the Council of Florence the 1442 [19], according to which, to save, It must belong to the Church. The Second Vatican Council, taking up the teaching of Blessed Pope Pius IX, made it clear that this membership is not necessarily that the visible Church, although it is within the ordinary plan of salvation, but that salvation - and then membership in the Church - it is also possible for those without fault and in good faith do not know the Gospel, and even for "those who, no fault of their own have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge (express) of God" [20]. Because of this, these people are saved forever in the Church, but belonging to the invisible Church or belonging to the Church invisibly or unconsciously [21]. Here of course it excludes the interpretation of Rahner, according to which even atheists could be saved, as an implicit knowledge of God, however implicitly, it is still knowledge of God and is not atheism.

.

In this sense, the God has pleased can state:

.

"The place where we receive the salvation brought by Jesus is the Church, community of those who, We are having been incorporated into the new order of relations inaugurated by Christ, They may receive the fullness of the Spirit of Christ (cf. Rom 8,9). Understanding this salvific mediation of the Church is an essential help to overcome any tendency reductionist. The salvation that God offers us, indeed, You do not get with the only individual forces, as stated in the neo-Pelagianism, but through the relationships that arise from the incarnate Son of God and forming the communion of the Church […] Because the grace that Christ gives us is not, as claimed by the vision of neo-Gnostic, a merely inner salvation, but that introduces us in the concrete relationships that he himself lived, the Church is a visible community: in it we touch the flesh of Jesus, so singular in the poorest suffering brothers and. In short, the salvific mediation of the Church, "Universal sacrament of salvation", It assures us that the salvation does not consist in self-realization of the individual isolated, and even in his inner merger with the divine, but in incorporation in a communion of persons, that participates in the communion of the Trinity " [n. 12].

.

The God has pleased implicitly reiterates its condemnation of the syncretistic Christology of Father Jacques Dupuis, pronounced in 2001 by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, according to which all religions are ways of salvation, so that everyone can choose the one they prefer [22], and implicitly condemns the idea of ​​Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, according to which to save themselves you do not necessarily need the mediation of the Church, but just follow the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, or thesis Edward Schillebeeckx, for which a complete and perfect religion is the sum and the set of all religions [23].

.

SALVATION OF THE SOUL AND BODY

.

Very suitable It was also an idea to remember that the eternal salvation of man is concerned and soul and body. In fact Says God has pleased:

.

"Salvation announces that faith is not just about our inner self, but our integral being. It is the whole person, indeed, in body and soul, that was created by God in his image and likeness, and it is called to live in communion with him " [n.7].

.

It is the salvation of the whole man, in which the interests of the soul - the spiritual life - should prevail, for their decisive importance, of those of the body - physical life -, they also, however, essential for salvation. But if the interests of the body hinder those of the soul, Christian they must have ready to give to the first, knowing that in the future resurrection will be refunded what they love for Christ, that is, to save the soul, He has given up in this life. Invece Rahner, bad interpreting the biblical concept of the unity of the person psychophysics, He rejects the actual distinction between body and soul[24], dogma of the Fourth Lateran Council 1215 [25], charging it to "greek dualism" and intends the human individual as an indivisible whole, therefore rejects the dogma of the soul substantial body shape, defined by the Council of Viennes in 1312 [26], and it affirms that the soul is inseparable from the body, as well as two different ways of being and occurrence of a single subject they are not intended as were two parts of the same subject.

.

The reduction Rahner's soul to the body or vice versa the absorption of the soul body produces so obvious and inevitable two opposite ethical, but that refer to each other because they both characterized by the fusion of the two terms: the first, Pelagianism materialistic, secularist and ground; the second, Gnosticism spiritualist, idealista, pantheistic absolute interiority. It happens then that Rahner does not conceive of death as the parting of the soul from the body and the soul survive the death of the body, for the soul, separated from the body, which it is in the grave, He continues to live alone after the death of the body, but for him the moment of death is the supreme moment of freedom, the whole man dies and rises again around the same time immersed in God. This means that Rahner rejects the dogma of the immortality defined by the Fifth Lateran Council in 1513 [27] and therefore does not allow for a time interval between eviterna the particular judgment and the universal, heresy condemned by the "Letter on Certain Questions Concerning eschatology" of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of 1979. At the same time, in this view, the body resting in the tomb is not intended to be resurrected, against the teaching of the Fourth Lateran Council 1215 [28], but it dissolves in the surrounding matter. The consequence is that the Gospel accounts about the empty tomb of the risen Christ cannot be adduced as proof of his resurrection., because the resurrection of Christ, per Rahner, It is not the fact that the body of Jesus had come back to life, but the fact that Christ's death "was greeted by God". Also Rahner, with his theory of immediate resurrection, denies the dogma of purgatory, defined by the Council of Trent [29]. In the end, the instant resurrection theory constitutes an attack on the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven, because by explicit declaration of Rahner, not only the Mater Dei, but every man's death has taken up.

.

Very appropriate, therefore, are the concluding words of the Letter:

.

"While he devoted himself with all his forces to evangelization, the Church continues to call for the definitive coming of the Savior, since "in hope we were saved" (Rom 8,24). The salvation of man is accomplished only when, after winning the last enemy, the death (cf. 1 Color 15,26), We participate fully in the glory of the risen Jesus, which will lead to the full our relationship with God, with the brothers and with all creation. The integral salvation, soul and body, It is the final destiny to which God calls all men " [n. 15].

.

THE INEVITABLE CHOICE: O GOD FOR OR AGAINST GOD. ONE OF THE LACUNA it was God

.

And we too, at this point, let's ask, by way of conclusion, granted that there is an observation. The very serious issue and timeless salvation can not be separated from the equally serious and urgent perdition. Well, It seems to see in the God has pleased, a serious gap: that of not treating, except for fleeting allusions and implicit allusions, this equally important and urgent issue, about which the heresies are spread, the reticence and false interpretations. It can not be talk about health without talking about the disease. You can not talk about life without speaking of death. You can not speak of the good without speaking evil. Of course, it is evident that those who accept Pelagianism and Gnosticism can not be saved. However it would not hurt to remember that it is heretical to believe that God does not punish. And this precisely because they do not understand the meaning and the reasons for the salvation, if you refuse that truth. It is thought that those who say that God's punishment does not appreciate his mercy. But the opposite is true. It 'impossible to understand what is salvation, without starting from the consideration of sin's punishment, starting with the original sin, to get to our personal sins and going through the painful expiation of sin, which occurs due to participation in the Cross of Christ.

.

With regard to original sin, the God has pleased obviously excludes implicitly the argument that the story of Genesis, as supports for example, Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, It would be a mere myth "causative" to explain the existence of evil and sin and. At that point, one can understand that the gift that the Father gave us His Son's work of mercy, Why, as the prophet Isaiah says: "The chastisement of our peace was upon him" [Is 53,5]. Opera divine is the work that God works to transform the punishment for salvation. That's why the hymn of office Lodi Lent is sung: "Wrath of judgment, deliver or good Father ".

.

God frees us, by means of the (C)roce reparation of Christ, miseries in which we have fallen and restores us in Baptism the loss of grace. The guilt of original sin, transmitted by generation to each man by the couple of our ancestors [30], It is deleted from Baptism, although it remains the lust, ie the inclination to sin, We must oppose and curb all your life with the ascetic works and practice of the Sacrament of Penance.

.

Precise then God has pleased to n. 13:

.

"Like this, cleansed from original sin and from every sin, we are called to a new life conformed to Christ [cf. Rom 6,4]».

.

With become children of God, There is open the door of eternal salvation and the entrance, as members of the Church, in the kingdom of heaven. Of course, this is not to say that God may be punishing and merciful at the same time with the same person, which would be inconsistent, because severity and mercy are actually two virtues that are mutually exclusive. The severity inflicts a penalty; Mercy takes it. If there's one o'clock, there can be another. However sometimes they refer and mutually: the mercy that God used to Israel crossing the Red Sea, It was made possible by the severity which he used against the Egyptians.

.

CONCLUSION

.

You do not seem incongruous or risky to compare God has pleased at the Feeding of Dominic's Sheep of the Holy Pontiff Pius X. One might observe that they differ profoundly, because the second one is severe, while the former is forgiving. but yet, Beyond the changed historical climate, between the two documents there is a continuity: Pius X had to face the problem modernistic. The reigning pontiff had to take up the issue, because the modernism of the times of his predecessor Pius X, as Maritain said in 1966 [31], a "modest hayfever than the neo-modernist fever" of our day. From the time of Maritain fever shows no signs of decreasing, rather, is reached at temperatures which are likely to exceed the 40 degrees of heat. And then we remember that the Holy Pontiff Pius X called modernism of his time as the "sum of all heresies". From here we can get an idea of ​​modernism today. But the Pope Francis I unfortunately do not seem disturbed that much. It's not that you make account of what is going on, maybe, maybe he wants to avoid panic?

.

We were in the middle of the Second Vatican Council who welcomed what was valid in the modernist instances, but it avoided the modernist errors, But then came the Church, in overbearing and decisively, during the post-conciliar season. The Second Vatican Council, upholding instances, he added what was missing in Feeding of Dominic's Sheep. But he never forgot the warnings, even more valid today than ever; but obviously the modernism of today is different from that of the time. At reigning Pope loom thus the following tasks:

.

  1. Maintain the achievements of the Council, carry them out and defend them; and correct some too optimistic trend or feel-good, as for example as reported to the n. 40 from the The joy and hope, which it indicates that the Church has only to communicate with the world, in a reciprocal relationship to equal the world-Church. And this trend, it is urgent to correct them all the false interpretations of the post-conciliar.

.

  1. Purify the modernists from Gnosticism, welcome their dynamic and progressive reformer, forbid them to exploit the Council.

.

  1. Purify Lefebvre from Pelagianism, approve and support their fidelity to tradition, persuade them to accept the Council.

.

  1. Making mediation between Lefebvre and modernists in order to mutual reconciliation, joining tradition and preservation with progress and renewal.

.

It is a huge task, wanting abnormal. Ma, of altronde, inside the Sistine Chapel was the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio to answer the call to the sacred throne saying the election "I accept"And shortly after becoming Francis I. And for that affirmative "I accept», He must assume all responsibility before God and before men. E, certain heavy responsibilities, we do not assume or avoiding of providing clear and reliable answers, or saying it could be yes, but also wanting no, or you know ... I do not know, you do!

.

.

We are before God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing [The Cor 2,15]

knowledge puffs, but love builds up [The Cor 8,1]

CONFIDENCES TO THE VOTERS OF AN ITALIAN PRIEST: I EXPLAIN YOU WHY I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE

.

There are two main reasons why I have expressed my will for sixteen years through the non-voting, which are respectively: the problem of ignorance abysmal spread between the Italian people and treacherously increased by those who have great interests to increase it; the situation of the large reservoir of votes of Southern Italy, which followed to be in hand to the transverse power management of the various powerful mafias, that has always run the market of those votes without which, any political party, could never win national elections.

paradigm of a nation and its people: Syracuse, the center of Ortigia, historical and archeological heart of the ancient Greek city, with bags of garbage thrown by many of the voters entitled to vote on street corners

How do they know the many thousands of our daily readers, magazine The Island of Patmos he deals with ecclesial theology and pastoral updating, no current political. A few hours after the opening of polling stations, where the electorate of the Italian Republic entitled to feed into voting for national elections, I wish to offer in the way of exception to the Readers, but above all he Electors, my comment on why the public, for the past sixteen years, do not I go to the polls to vote for the national administrative and political elections.

.

You must first dispel a misconception to die hard: voting is both a right and a duty, but not an obligation. Therefore, who in a democratic system decides to express their free will by abstaining from vote, It is not a bad citizen, but a worthy member of that People that makes up the body of the subsidiaries of the Italian Republic. It is not true that those who do not vote "give the vote to the majority", or "favor the majority victory", why say this is like saying that anyone who does not pass through a toll plaza in Rome, so he does not take an entry ticket with which then pay the exit of Naples or Salerno, it is as if he had withdrawn it and had paid the same. And you know very well that such a statement, It is totally illogical.

.

The vote, by itself, It is a free expression of will which can be expressed in various ways. Any act of will, as taught by the ancient wisdom of the greek thought masters, It may in fact be expressed, as effectively, both with action and with the lack of action. The whole pace of the Enlightenment, that as we remember is not imposed through hugs and kisses, but with the barbarity of guillotines. For it is the Enlightenment thought that the lack of action, if need be violent and bloody, equates to a lack of accountability. And the Enlightenment, just to remind, the culmination through that little glorious French Revolution in the name of an idea of ​​freedom somewhat questionable, injustices committed serious violations and paid with the blood of many innocent after summary trials, with death sentences imposed not on the basis of impeccable evidence, but often it inflicted just to hate, social jealousy and envy.

.

paradigm of a nation and its people: this is not taken from the photographic collection of the Casbah of Algiers of the fifties of the twentieth century, we are in Syracuse, in the heart of Ortigia, a few meters from the archaeological site of the Temple of Apollo, one of the largest Doric temples of Ancient Greece. The junk you see in the picture, It was left by voters eligible to vote, the very people who then scream "No, corrupt politicians, We clean up the country!»

Something similar we can now recognize her on a psychological level partner in the movement miserable set up by the Italian comedian Beppe Grillo, justicialism which refers to the historical memory of the one who knows the history and has studied, certain styles of Robespierre, on the contrary of this comedian, however, it was a brilliant and intelligent mind. The sequel of this pecorone comic ranting is constituted by his dream and so-called "network Popolo", reminiscent of the angry crowds under the stage of guillotines; the crowds composed mostly by those ignorant illiterate on the grillino Luigi di Maio style, who applauded intoxicated with blood and violence, when Executioner cut off his head to Antoine Lavoisier, one of the most brilliant minds of not only France, but Europe as a whole, so much so that a few years later it was said that maybe another two hundred years would not be enough, to see revive another brilliant mind like that. And people like Beppe Grillo and Luigi Maio, below with their furious "Network People", if anything, today there were, They would be able ten ghigliottinarne, men like de Lavoisier.

.

Incidentally, I believe as long as Beppe Grillo, while not ending up in turn on the guillotine as I ended Robespierre, he will end up as victims of their own violence, and time and place will have to leave Italy, as at the time he had to leave Bettino Craxi, albeit with no small difference: Bettino Craxi was a statesman, while Beppe Grillo is a moody lunatic capable only of inflating the disappointed and frustrated square with almost always aggressive and above all emotional-irrational moods.

.

paradigm of a nation and its people: we are always in Ortigia, the historical center of the ancient Greek city of Syracuse, a few dozen meters away from the archaeological site of the Temple of Apollo

On the other part there is an octogenarian, certain Silvio Berlusconi, with a life behind you with a bland euphemism we can define “intense” e “eventful”. Unlike Grillo, This sgrillettante octogenarian is not a demented humoral, but a person with great practical skills in terms of organization and management of the, but also on the political level.

.

If I expressed earlier who I would never give the vote to a small Robespierre revived as Grillo, I continue to explain that the reasons for which never would vote - and for which I have never voted - Berlusconi, They are summarized as follows: because it embodies and expresses the best of the worst of the hedonistic society, narcissistic and especially lax. Never would call Berlusconi immoral person, because that would be really simplistic. Berlusconi is a moral person who expresses such as the living negation of all that are my personal feelings and the Christian values ​​of life. Berlusconi, despite his tender age of eighty years, is a poor suffering from priapism phallogocentric supported by the artifices of Viagra.

.

They serve as corolla these two poles mainly in contention, a series of micro parties born more or less overnight in elections, but necessary to give voters the illusion of the vote offered a few small aggregation. Unfortunately, the voters, often wrapped and largely holy ignorance, ignore that vote in these micro small parties, it is in all respects equivalent to giving a 'Na bitch a check signed blank, no amount undated. A quel point, in a totally legitimate, the pious bitch she will decide what to pimp pimp or bring your check, what amount of money put in and what bank to cash it.

.

paradigm of a nation and its people: we are always Ortygia Syracuse, with rubbish left before a historic building of the seventeenth century, in front of the Madonna del Carmine church, sixteenth century

Therefore, those who decide to vote for protest Matteo Salvini, or hoes or other different but still similar, It will offer its blank check to anyone to whom they decide to take it: Berlusconi, a Grillo, or the Democratic Party. If in fact the most voted party alone will not achieve the majority, You will need the votes of these other small parties, they will sell at a high price your own grading package in exchange for specific conditions and conditions.

.

Needless to say - although it is appropriate to say and above all remember - that a similar electoral system thwarts the will of the voter and transforms precisely the vote given in a real signed blank checks, no amount undated, put total trust in the hands de 'na bitch the total mercy of their pimp or pimp, although in fact you will not even know the identity until it has been formed the new government of the country.

.

Then there are two main reasons for which by now for sixteen years I express my will through non-voting, which are respectively: the problem of ignorance abysmal spread between the Italian people and treacherously increased by those who have great interests to increase it; the situation of the large reservoir of votes of Southern Italy, which followed to be in hand to the transverse power management of the various powerful mafias, that has always run the market of those votes without which, any political party, could never win national elections.

.

Let's start from the first of its points, that is ignorance, first explaining that most of those legitimate right to vote, They do not even know how structured the constitutional and political level, the Italian Republic. And the more ignorant they are ignorant, more fervent for them in giving life to absurd political discussions more or less comparable to those of a poor guy, totally fasting of all the basic rudiments of human anatomy, however, it assumed to be able to hold forth on the medical sciences. To this is then added to worse, because this kind of ignorant, not limited to discourse on medical sciences, but they also take the liberty of giving incompetent to a specialist in anatomy for thirty years teaches this important subject in medical school surgery. Indeed, together with the mythical 'imagination' claimed in Sixty, today, with it in power, there is unfortunately long gone even ignorance, supported by the worst aggressive arrogance that is typical of the whole do not know, ignoring the ignorant and, for this, rants freewheeling, all with a dangerous aggravating the entire national community: the ignorant voters and unfortunately there are many, unfortunately are the majority! For if it had not been, how could they, multimillion Italian, get in the hands of a comedian who in 2007 he launched his far-sighted political ideas by calling Italians to participate en masse in his first fuck Day ?

.

paradigm of a nation and its people: we are always Ortygia Syracuse, a few meters from the Early Christian basilica of San Pietro, dating from the fourth century: waste building materials of one of the many construction sites abusers are located in the historic center in complete disregard of local administrators

It happens as well to hear the poison ignorant voter make nonsense of this kind: "If it had abolished one of the two rooms and sent home members who now make up, They would be healed for much of the state's finances ". I wonder: who will explain to these poisonous ignorant, of what they really think of doing politics with fuck Day, you say such a thing would be like saying that the Patriarch Moses, taken with a bucket three to four liters of water from the Red Sea, created such a dry to divide the waters and pass among them all the People of the Israelites? That said overflight without dwelling on what would in itself be a long and here not possible dissertation in constitutional law, to explain in a few words the so-called bi-cameralism, in our country, It was not adopted to create "public deficit", but to the highest standards of democracy. And democracy, admitted that it has cost, It will have still never too high a cost, always with due respect of the fuck Day and those shrieking Fuck you squares packed in the wake of a comic schizophrenic, they really think they can save their country.

.

What to say of the periodic scandals staged by armies of psychological illiterate when the great Academy Fuck, they start throwing thunder and lightning on so-called Gold salaries of MPs? I wonder: during compulsory education, which by law they must still get done - although not many learned nothing, like the abysmal ignorant Luigi di Maio -, somewhat simple lesson in civics, of those that if well done are understood even by the guys at 0:13 years, Has anyone ever explained to him why MPs receive, and it is right that they receive, a reasonable and also high salary?

.

Apart from the fact that an MP represents the dignity of an entire country, so it is good that for this reason alone do not go running with patched ass, what it should be explained with a simple history lesson to academics who pronounce great Academy Fuck, is what happened in Italy at monarchical when, at certain positions, They could access only representatives of the propertied aristocracy families, of industrial families and upper middle class families, why certain offices and political functions were in no way remunerated. Therefore, at first, Senators and MPs do not even received a refund for expenses they faced on their way to Rome at the Royal Senate or the Royal Chamber of Deputies. Let's see then who were in those years the Senators: they were members of the Agnelli family, Pirelli, Brera ... no person, albeit with political talent, She could ever come to certain charges, because he would not have the means to sustain their political activity or parliamentary senator, especially when certain heavy duty first of all imply the need to leave their work place or employment to dedicate themselves full-time to political activities, which would in itself be a high and noble service to Madrepatria. But here is ready reply of the academics of the great academy Fuck you, because they read the comment around the blogs, such as members of the so-called Jacobean Popolo network, It is in some ways hilarious: "The deputies have to work and stay!». Let me understand, distinguished members of the Grand People's Network: There maybe someone who would claim, however, also in a serious manner and convinced, that if any man will do the primary of the department of cardiac surgery, He must go to work to be able to direct the hospital ward? Or perhaps a teacher, if you want to teach, to go to work in order to teach? Or maybe a worker, if you want to have the luxury of working at an industrial assembly line, to go to work in order to keep their jobs? Or maybe a farmer, to afford the luxury of milking cows in his barn, He must go to work if you want to then proceed to the milking?

.

paradigm of a nation and its people: we are always in ancient Ortigia Syracuse, with bags of garbage left by those entitled to vote in a street of Graziella, ancient and picturesque fishing district

Temo so that unfortunately confuse the abuses, linked both to the corruption of the political class is its embezzlement, with those who are born, and that in itself as a democracy guarantees and maximum democratic representation of all citizens without distinction of class and social class. But most of all, that the squares of sbraitanti Fuck you the poor Cricket will not understand - because it would involve a lot of assumptions of responsibility on the part of millions of individuals -, It is that corrupt politicians are always born and practice by a corrupt people, because it is the people who voted for them, and that followed to vote for them, it is not they who shall be imposed by a coup: They were elected by a majority of eligible voters! And what Italian, in my opinion, is a people profoundly and deeply corrupted, which as such expresses corrupt corruption and also through the liberal democratic election mechanism, especially the administrative local elections, where armies of voters courting the most immoral and corrupt politicians to see themselves as they recognized and guaranteed their "sacred right" to live in various forms of "institutionalized lawlessness".

.

The second of the points for which I express my free will through non-voting You are linked to the drama that sees a whole slice of our country ruled by the mafia, whose various denominations are: Camorra, N'drangheta, Cosa Nostra and Sacra Corona Unita.

.

paradigm of a nation and its people: we are always in ancient Ortigia Syracuse, with bags of garbage left by those entitled to vote in a distinctively historic square

For many decades the various mafias are served best democratic rules to impose its rule, or to put it clear and brief: in whole areas of our country, those taking their vows are the various mafias. To defeat the power of the mafia government of entire regions, It should decisively affect and radical right on the voting system, place or in Campania, nor in Calabria or Sicily you can win elections without the support of the Camorra, N'drangheta and the Cosa Nostra. So that, either directly or by the use of straw men, these mafia groupings affect local governments and then on the national political life through their own men.

.

To understand this statement my grave it is necessary to resort to concrete examples, or if you prefer to test visible and cool pictures. In order to do this I must start by saying that I reside in part in Rome, where I do different offices related to my ministry as a priest and theologian, including one in particular that engages me as postulator at the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and partly I reside in Syracuse, where I retire when I have to study it calmly certain documents, or when I have to prepare myself careful documentation or work in my writings of various kinds. This explanation and clarification is entirely due because they need to understand is the example given and then raised to the paradigm, both photos that accompany this article as equally paradigm made visible through images.

.

Here, then served as the: in the historic heart of the ancient Greek city of Syracuse, which it is Ortigia - where I have one of two different residences among which I share I -, It has been taken to separate collection of waste. They were therefore rightly removed all bins from this great historical center, artistic and archaeological, because all of the domicile or residence have been provided with domestic bins for waste collection. With diligent zeal, I and my co-worker who shares with me the job and then living spaces both in Rome and in Syracuse, We differentiate the waste, then, the set days, say domestic bins out the door. While we and other people do this, a higher number of inhabitants, there being more bins on the street, throws garbage at the corners of the streets, with distressing results visible in the center: heaps of trash bags on the corner of monumental historical buildings.

.

paradigm of a nation and its people: we are always in ancient Ortigia Syracuse, with bags of garbage left by those entitled to vote in a distinctively historic square

Any naive soul might wonder: How come, the traffic police or the Police, do not rush to the homes of these uncivilized bombarding of administrative sanctions? All the more, sanctioning several of these people would also be easy, if we consider that several of them, between a camp and the other under house arrest, living in illegally occupied houses, They have the illegal connection to the light, They have little children with all the most advanced technological tools and more expensive, but they do not perform any work and are not able to document any income received. Then why, do not intervene?

.

I explain immediately to the pious souls of the reasons for non-intervention: because those who throw garbage on the street corners of the palaces, They have an average of six or seven people out of ten. And these six or seven out of ten, politically speaking, They are called voters. And when there are elections, these six or seven uncivilized, the first bugle call like sheep start to give mass to vote mob on duty, or the political figurehead behind which lurks the mafia or a mafia gang entire. Now, since elections are won with a majority made up today unfortunately uncivilized, you understand well that no one is going to touch - and I mean never, in any way -, these precious voters, because they are indispensable, as qualified majority, to keep alive an entire corrupt and corrupting.

.

Before this concrete example, Is it all wrong, on my part, aware of belonging to that minority of three or four civilians against ten uncivilized, to assert: take the vote this beautiful and precious people, but not my vote? Or to clarify: what good vote, when there is already a majority that won departing, which in this case it is the majority of uncivilized, of abusers, of those who are camping in a small crime and the other under house arrest, of pension beneficiaries bogus disability, or accompanying pensions bestowed to all disabled persons, to follow with the beneficiaries of regional financing fund for lost data absurd than ever improbable art and craft activities, but which in truth are only gifts - often made to rain a few tens of thousands of euros -, usefulness of which is only to keep good entire families of foraging voters by local politicians with the money of all public payers?

.

the bins of recycling of Syracuse residence of Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, The ballot has disposed in the blue bins, the one for the separate paper and cardboard, thereby exerting its own free and unquestionable right: the right to non-voting.

Here I am, if I go to vote! I would if my vote was somehow useful to help move even a thousandth of the balance. contrarily, before a People's corrupt and corrupting that expresses corruption, which holds the majority, I'm not going to sign a blank check to 'na bitch, no figure and no date, knowing full well that she will deliver it to a pimp or pimp which, how best to prefer, choose with which bank put it to collection.

.

By acting in this way, I do not think I'm a bad citizen, quite the opposite! On the contrary, seguiterò always consider Italy my proud and beloved homeland, Meanwhile doing the collection along with a minority of civilians, while the majority will give the secret of the urn of the offering to the mafia round vote, so junk produces garbage and junk increments, until the total collapse of this miserable democracy now emptied of freedom, why is this that has long inaugurated: Democracy without freedom.

.

God bless Italy, its people and its leaders on the occasion of national elections.
