the ruins of Metropolitan Cathedral of Messina after the earthquake of 1908

Samantha with the longed-for final "h" is a twenty year old girl who celebrated her eighteen years ago two years ago, reaching fifteen boyfriends. During his turn our love life began at the age of thirteen, He has had some small hiccup, trivial things but mostly solvable, that are part of the normal course of developmental age. Like when she became pregnant at fifteen, prompting her mother, Jessika, con the "k", forty-two years, to be a severe self-criticism with his third companion series, a twenty-eight year-old boy, also called toy-boy, to whom she confides: «Michael» - named after his mother in honor of pop singer Michael Jackson - «I admit I was wrong, because I did not bother to make taking birth control pills to Samy "- affectionate diminutive of Samantha with the" h "end-awaited -. "Sure, if she had not she kept it hidden for days, I would have done immediately prescribe the abortion pill '. The toy-boy Michael heartened: "Jessy" - affectionate diminutive of Jessika with "k" - "I do not think you have the wrong. Sai, Samy your daughter has a breathtaking body, with the pill could run the risk that it be cellulite. In the end it was resolved: a raschiatina, a blood clot removed, and the problem is gone to counseling in a flash ". Then Jessy feels relieved and sighs to toy-boy: "You are right, Miky "- short for Michael -, Sylvester also gave me reason, but not only him, also Christian, his former fellow Brits, was in agreement and solidarity.

Messina earthquake of 1908

And here to understand you need an engraved: Sylvester, father of Samantha with the "h" awaited final, He was the first husband of Jessika, so he named by his father who was a bodybuilder inflated anabolic and great fan at Rocky Balboa, the famous film series starring Sylvester Stallone from 1976. After the wedding Sylvester discovered his true identity and, after a coming-out made a famous talk-show in front of millions of viewers, present in the studio also Jessika wife with "k", declared their gaysmo. After that - twist! At that same moment his first man stood up from the audience, all’epoca Christian, he appeared publicly to his wife as his partner. Moved, his wife hugged them both declaring themselves happy and hoping that they will be so happy. The scene was accompanied by a haunting melody of a famous singer who died of AIDS and the gay icon, Freddie Mercury: «We are the champions […] of the world» [we are the champions of the world].

Now, Samantha with the "h" awaited final, He is doing their university studies, He chose psycho-pedagogy, in fact he wants to become a champion of the theory of gender. His father, rich cry architect on the way to the age of fifty, meanwhile he changed partner and now lives with a young Brazilian model shooting -nothing of twenty-two, certo Ricky, so he named by his parents in honor of Ricky Martin, another gay singer, father of two children bought from a surrogate mother and convolato recent wedding in Puerto Rico with his young companion [cf. WHO]. The Sylvester gay dad is very proud of her daughter, He is also experiencing a happy relationship with a new partner, sure John, a native of Bari, but so he called because his father and his mother are two fans John Lennon, and son, through this former Beatles, They sent their deepest values ​​of life through song Imagine :

.

Imagine there's no heaven

he tries, it's easy

No hell below your feet

Above us only Heaven

Imagine that people

Live the present ...

Imagine there are no countries

it is not difficult

Nothing to kill and die

and no religion

Imagine all

Living life in peace ...[Original text English, WHO]

.

The messages of love Samantha with "h" final direct longed to his John, They constitute a veritable apotheosis of contemporary poetry, here's one to give everyone the perception of this poetry-loving mood:

.

gives when msidt [1], my life has changed

xched [2] xme [3] tu6 qlc [4].

For this tvb girls [5], xched 6Sxme [6].

MMT+ [7] xchè you 6 the + [8].

T tel + hard [9], I recommend resp to cel [10]

dp vng [11] and cmq Cvd [12].

.

Faced with this so intense expression of love poetry, what ever can be compared to a quatrain Dantesque type:

.

So gentle and so honest it seems

my woman, when it greets others,

ch'ogne lingua Deven, shivering, move,

and eyes not dare to look [13]

.

.

Friuli earthquake of 1976

Remember that Samantha with the final "h" longed for, is a girl now considered high culture that passes an examination after another at the university and in a few years will be a professional psycho-pedagogy, engaged in social and political. Obviously, the level of universities, university and teachers studying at the same, and corresponds in a sense, has had to adapt to these new generations of students.

.

This is reality, and in this kind of reality, us has the unenviable task of proclaiming the Holy Gospel to young people who have heard of so vague a strange concept of the Church and Christianity in the words of a famous Italian intellectual, Lorenzo Cherubini, aka Jovannotti, that in his song Think positive, It expresses the best of Catholic doctrine and theology of metaphysics in this way:

.

I believe that in this world

It exists only a great Church

That passes by Che Guevara

It is up to Mother Teresa

Going from Malcolm X through

Gandhi and San Patrignano

There comes a priest in the suburbs

What goes on in spite of the Vatican

Friuli earthquake of 1976

This is the real society with which we have to deal, although this does not seem to even touch those four cosmetic and aesthetic pundits that among codicils, columns and four spells of no great school, but most of the decadent neo-scholastic, They never cease to announce that we must start from metaphysics. And when I use the word "metaphysical", feel stuffed up in seventh heaven, because the very word excites you at times to really perverse way.

.

Scattered in the jungle the electronic network there are sites and blogs of true Catholics and authentic purity of tradition defenders mentioning one iota Romano Amerio like it the word of God, while his students, real or presumed, beano in fancy turns of phrase which show the unmistakable taste of ... "Oh, Darling! How like myself, what are the aesthetic, they are metaphysical!».

Good, but Samantha with the "h" awaited, student of psycho-pedagogy and tomorrow practitioner and trainer psycho-pedagogical, daughter Jessika with "k" happily accompanied by his new boy-toy, ex-wife of Sylvester rich architect currently cohabiting cry with his new Brazilian boy-nothing, Who leads and who offers the message of redemption and salvation of the incarnate Word of God, "who died and rose, ascended to heaven and now seated at the right hand of God, that one day come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his reign will have no end?» [cf. Symbol of faith].

.

But the better to excite the aesthetic beauty of true and pure tradition, Also we insert the original text of the I believe, as the greek, as the Latin liturgy, love it especially to those small groups of lay people who do not know, and that for this favor of its use arcane magic, because when you are not able to penetrate and live the essence of the sacred mysteries in the substance, then you end up worshiping the external accidents, as of the same language:

.

Te crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
and victim
and was buried.

Καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ
according to the Scriptures.

And ascended into heaven
and is seated at the Father EV dexiᾷ.

Again Coming after glory
judge the living and the dead,

Friuli earthquake of 1976

This message of salvation, Samantha with “h” and longed to John, maybe bring him the pundits of codicils and Directories, if anything, with a couple of teacher's lessons on the assumption that St. Augustine was of a philosophical Platonic? But Samantha with the "h" awaited final, albeit he graduated with honors and today university student of psychology and pedagogy, It is convinced that the Platonic Krizia is just the fragrance launched by the design house of Mary Mandelli, known with the pseudonym Krizia [cf. WHO]. Samantha with the "h" final longed not even imagine that Κριτίας [Crisis] It is taken from the last unfinished dialogue of Plato, all based on female vanity. And that while her new boyfriend, John, also a university student at the faculty of pharmacy, when a few years before he was questioned in the literature graduation examination, When asked who was the Tasso [cf. WHO], after a moment of reflection replied: "The inventor of cedar Tassoni" [cf. WHO]. And at the pharmacy faculty, where also passes an examination behind the other, for teachers is a real funny guy, I always remind everyone, This Bari named John, when an examination answered the question of the examiner professor who asked "tell me whence comes an extra uterine pregnancy», replicating after brief reflection: "Originates from anal intercourse".

To these two subjects, you can touch the heart and convert them to explain what relationship exists between the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle and the metaphysical speculations of St. Thomas Aquinas? But most of all, is to convert them is to bring them to the right path of faith, Perhaps we will share the diatribes against the German Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner, explaining them as he reduces be thomist, which it is act and perfection, being aware of, identifying the man be, knowing and being known, thus putting standing an anthropological reduction of metaphysics? And we can then continue to explain, Samantha with the "h" final and longed to her last boyfriend Bari called in honor of John Lennon, Karl Rahner overturns the fundamental principles of Thomistic realism to give birth to the modern principle of immanence?

A Samantha with the "h" awaited final, between little psycho-pedagoga, convinced that it is a perfume Krizia, and her latest boyfriend Bari, John named in honor of Lennon, soon pharmacist, convinced that an extra-uterine pregnancy is originated from anal intercourse, to stimulate them to a journey of faith, what we have to offer? Maybe we have to give the conference proceedings against Karl Rahner promoted years ago by the Franciscans? We advise them to read the texts of the late Brunero Gherardini, Serafino Lanzetta and Roberto de Mattei, that advance the thesis of Vatican Council II which only pastoral and not dogmatic? We are we to convince them to read the valuable and excellent work True and false theology by Antonio Livi [cf. WHO], difficult to read even for scholars of philosophical and theological sciences? Or are we to drag in the sci-liturgical debates of some minds schizophrenic, convinced that the crude and simple Galilean fisherman of the Blessed Apostle Peter came to a solemn altar basilica escorted by four deacons in shining baroque dalmatics, aided by several assistants clad priests of solemn copes, cheering under the steps of the altar "Introibo altar Gods», then opening the missal given by Saint Pius V in the sixteenth century and starting to celebrate what these poor schizophrenic aesthetic liturgy and their retinue of the sci-liturgy scholars call "The Mass of All Time»?

In short, poor John, named in honor of Lennon, raised by parents on the driving pattern of the lyrics Imagine, we can also forgive did not even know how to develop an extra uterine pregnancy, but certain ladies and gentlemen of the true and pure Catholic tradition, which abound in circles dreamlike self-styled theologians and liturgists, They can not be too convinced as John that an extra uterine pregnancy "is spread by anal intercourse", because that would mean, against the other, not knowing even Aristotle in his capacity as a biologist, on diagrams and logic of which St. Thomas Aquinas develops its own method, hence its title Doctor Common, ie Universal Doctor of the Church. And this precise title and indicates that Aquinas is not merely a "theological school" special, but a common patrimony of the whole universal Church, and at the same time a method that, albeit with some defect and shortcoming, It remains valid today and especially unsurpassed.

.

And note well that Samantha with the "h" awaited, with all its poetic "msidt [14], xchè you 6 the + [15]" … and so on, it is not even the worst. Just imagine those who arrive not even the kind of evolution which came anyway Samantha with the "h" awaited, that it will soon be a doctor in psycho-education and promoter of the theory of gender.

Irpinia earthquake 1980, the bodies prepared for burial

I do not despise the scholastic and metaphysical, of which I am expert and scholar who are both at the base of my philosophical and theological formation, but since I am first and foremost a pastor in the care of souls by the grace of the priesthood was received, I am aware that my primary and fundamental task is the proclamation of the Holy Gospel in a de-Christianized Europe and decadent in which new generations no longer know even the basics of Christianity. And in this situation of collapse, affirm the spirit of closed and exclusive lounge that we must start from metaphysics and St. Thomas Aquinas, stubborn way in explaining the only pastorality of Vatican II, or supporting the concept of aberrant "the Mass of" - what in the philosophical sense of aberatio understanding —, all it referred to a Roman Missal given by the Holy Pontiff in the sixteenth century, It is equivalent to use the XXXIII canto of Paradise to teach reading and writing to adults joints of the age of majority in state of total illiteracy, convinced that we must start from the Opera de Dante Alighieri to eradicate illiteracy. All in blind disregard the theological structure of the final of the three books of the Divine Comedy Canto is not even including today by those who teach and explain to the students the work of the great poet, one need only read certain explanations to the text printed on the books for school use, or enter into any high school as a teacher gives absurd explanations to students during class send SMS, send photos to Istgrm O whatsapp with cell phones under their desks.

Irpinia earthquake 1980, transportation of remains from the Fire Department

To say with smug narcissism We have to start from metaphysics and by St. Thomas Aquinas, It is like trying to give a one year old son with severe malnutrition problems such as a T-bone steak meal. Which St. Thomas Aquinas we have to start, dovendoci today confronted with a large number of priests and bishops who seem to know more about the basics of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the talk is a whole swarm of worldly sociologisms? But we want to account, what comes out of the mouths of priests and bishops, when today speak of charity, of mercy, poor in spirit? At best he comes out of the dull and spineless gooders, and without their knowledge - because now you have to talk about quite unconscious ignorance -, from their mouths out of the terminologies that are typical of the Enlightenment and Masonic language, from ambivalent concept and totally distorted "solidarity", Freemasons who is pure and exclusive philanthropic social commitment, exactly what we see today the visible Church has reduced the sense of charity emptied of its Christological transcendence and filled with worldliness man-centric.

.

In question - and it is good puntualizzarlo to avoid any potential misunderstandings -, I'm not sure the school and Aquinas, I remember are two methods, which as such require a solid base, a high degree of culture, but above all a language and mental fitness and concentration that today the majority of the clergy themselves can not be proposed, because they have neither the training nor the means to face it all. When it unfortunately lacks basics, culture and language, how can you say in a logical and reasonable way that you have to fly high in the sky? Or maybe you can ask a chicken to fly as if it were an eagle?

Aquila earthquake 2009, The funeral of the victims

The school and Thomism, over the past half century have been razed to the ground by high theological magnitude earthquake triggered first by the para-council of theologians and then by post-Vatican Council II false interpreters. Now, we should all know that the violent earthquakes of high magnitude earthquake, in a few minutes can bring down entire cities. Once this happened, and then rebuild those cities will not be enough certainly many minutes, take decades, because it will be necessary to start almost from zero. And when it comes to ancient towns completely destroyed, as it has often happened in Italy over the centuries, It will not even be possible to reconstruct more or less the same state, because certain ancient architectural works are not playable, except create a fake antique or a clumsy reproductions, such as the decadent neo-scholastic and pseudo Thomism. So that, to assert in certain salons ghetto that we must start from metaphysics and St. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps some dreamlike subject gives more excitement than I can give a disturbing erotic image of a teenager in the throes of hormonal storms, but on the other hand denotes to what extent they are motivated by an irrational spirit that makes them incompatible with any true philosophical and theological speculation, reliable and secure as they can rebuild in time of a ballet entire cities after a high-magnitude earthquake that has razed; riedificandole rather stagnant with four formulette the decadent neo-scholastic, that they have nothing in common either with the school or with Thomism. That said note also something, various lay Catholics who throw themselves into diatribes internetiche on the revival of metaphysics and of St. Thomas Aquinas, if I caught and removed from their world-Onorico telematics and placed in front of an audience, the question addressed to them: "We clarify the concept of" authority "and “to be”, of "substance" and "accidents" ', would dumb show. And this I say this not because I imagine, but because I have frequently and repeatedly experienced. It is not by chance that these lions behind computer screens, flee to every kind of discussion and public debate, He is having never studied nor metaphysics nor Thomism, albeit perversely excited by these two magic words, of which they do not know the complex structural essence, which first requires the construction of solid foundations, then years and years of study.

Ascoli Piceno, earthquake of 2016, funerals of the victims

All this to the great pundits do not care, because in them it prevails narcissistic sense of pleasure and self-gratification, certain and sure that is just sinful and severe physical masturbation of a teenager, not dangerous mental masturbation of certain adults, unable to understand that even if to humiliate our being intellectual and cognitive, or our philosophical and theological speculation skills acquired and developed over many years of study and work, we must start with the announcement of the most basic elements of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and all even with very uncertain outcomes, in a society that has developed social and political aversion to Christianity. Everything moved by the painful awareness that in contemporary society, the feeling and the same concepts of man and nature, of human life and ethics, family and human relationships, legal and law, are completely antithetical to all Christians feel and experience. And if anyone, before this reality, really think to start from metaphysics and from St. Thomas Aquinas, in which case it would be good to run as soon as an ambulance and have it transported tied in a straitjacket at the nearest mental health center. If not, Christianity will be turned into an intellectual speculation, cosmetic and aesthetic, carried out for the masturbatory pleasure of his selfish "me" by people much more and much worse than the modernists and rahneriani from their much-criticized, have long forgotten that the shepherds in charge of souls, not of parlor intellectuals that if they sing and if they play each other in a world that not only does not want them to hear, but also I am wanting to make the effort to listen to willing, It has its own plus the intellectual means to understand this kind of language.

.

Or to put it more with another concrete example: it would be like if I, going to be shopping at the fruit market in Campo dei Fiori in Rome, I rivolgessi the seller with this language: "Good day my Messer, no man hath said ch'eziandio keep robe stories high Goodness? Ordunque, ere largitemi these graceful herbs, afterwards these fruits fertile ". I am almost certain that I would answer the greengrocer: "Dear father, I sell herbs, but if it seems like she used to smoke herbs of those who give to the head, then you must go to buy them somewhere else '. At that point I could probably replicate saying … "My dear, she misunderstood and did not understand: we must start from the language of Dante!». there, this is exactly what they do the inhabitants of the ghetto-aesthetic when they say that we must start by metaphysics and by St. Thomas Aquinas and to save deposit and the sense of faith we must celebrate "the Mass of" using the magic of Latin, place that Latin is a far more effective instrument of salvation of the absolution of sins through the Sacrament of Confession or the Sacrament of the Sick given to people who are going to die together with the expected full absolution. Having said that I add: Anyone who thinks that faith works together to save, commits a grave error: to save souls are the Latin Missal and the so-called "Mass of Always," St. Pius V.

.

Also to explain what happens when you lose a language I also offer another example: those great fathers of democracy and that unspecified civilization, these will still believe the British, after having plundered certain countries around, what ultimately deprived them? Li deprived of their language. And still today, in India, to communicate with each other Indians of the various regions are forced to speak in English. Naturally, the best of themselves, the British have given it with 'apartheid in South Africa in the singing of God Save the Queen [God Save the Queen]. And today, in the dying British company - the capital of which is likely to be stabbed in the street by two children a decade -, the same that until yesterday kept standing in the scheme of’apartheid in Sud Africa, They are able to send you in the galleys of Her Britannic Majesty with accusations of racism or its variant that is the so-called homophobia, if you dare to express that their pop icon Elton John, He married with two children and a man bought from the wombs for rent, She would cry foul even the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. But on the other hand, paradigm of British society are the toilets of their public places, where it happens to find a toilet squat on the floor without even a small sink for washing hands. What this denotes what some people are filthy dirty inside and out, but even though convinced they are the fathers of civilization, perhaps hygiene. All this although the early 2000, a group of Italian students living in London with the project Erasmus, He withdrew peanuts and chips brought by containers along with beers at the tables of one of the many pubs in London, and just returned in “dirty” ed “uncivilized” Italy made her examined by a laboratory of the University of Bologna, with this surprising result: those foods contained traces of fourteen different types of urine … God Save the Queen !

Earthquake of Amatrice 2016, funerals of the victims

This is the nefarious work brought to completion over the past half century: The destruction of language and radical subversion of the very concept of humanity. We must therefore again teach the language to communicate, to give man a "new heart" [cf. This 36,26-27. 26] and transmit the mysteries of faith, aware of how long it takes to rebuild a city destroyed by an earthquake. Only after years of work that engage different generations, which will require first of all holy pastors in the care of souls and true servants of theology, we groped to say: … and now let's start from the metaphysical and St. Thomas Aquinas. Any true shepherd care of souls, and any authentic theologian who is not a conceited narcissist onanist stale in the pond of his own ego-theology, It should understand how urgent it is to start from the most basic foundations, with all due respect to one iota Romano Amerio, headings and codicils of the drawing-room exclusivist that both like each other when in their circles ghetto-speak of the purity of the true doctrine or of the highest metaphysical speculations, but that nothing of Revelation announce the mystery of the Redemption and the neo-pagan society of a world now in an advanced state of decay. And with this society and this world, esclusivisti the drawing-room of the metaphysical dream share a large common element: their love and their complacent drowning decadent aesthetics.

.

To those who still had doubts about what I have said so far, proceeding on the logical basis that anyone can deny equal and better through logic, It could be enough simply to compare this:

… and compared these two texts, we will see and we will establish from where better to start to bring the announcement of the Holy Gospel to the people of an increasingly blind world, deaf and hostile to all that is contained in the Revelation of the Mystery ...

.

That's why we Fathers de The Island of Patmos ― even at the cost of "stifling" our so-called "intellectual spirit" and speculative -, we decided to start from those basic foundations that involve a careful pedagogical work which first requires extreme clarity and a thorough explanation of the meaning of words. We must not take anything for granted, with the times they live today. So you can not mention, for example the word transubstantiation, or the philosophical and theological terms of substances e damn it, without explaining clearly and simply the precise meaning of these terms [by way of example reference is made to John Cavalcoli, o.p. WHO]. All this always in the sad realization that certain terms transposed the classical philosophical vocabulary in theological language, today are not even included a large number of bishops and priests, not to mention certain laymen made teach catechism to our children, or the teachers of religion in schools.

.

Obviously, occasionally, We continue to write longer articles and specialized cutting our page Theologica, but certainly not limiting ourselves only to these writings almost always complex, as clear, mostly directed at a more specialized audience.

.

Only after we have reconstructed the language it can happen that in a few generations our posterity - when we are now dissolved bodies inside the tombs and our souls stay in purgatory -, They will try to say: Now we try to start from the metaphysical and St. Thomas Aquinas.

On the transubstantiation of the Holy Father Francis confirms the tradition

/5 Comments/in /by

TRANSUBSTANTIATION ON THE POPE FRANCIS CONFIRMED THE TRADITION

.

The reigning Pope, with the words "so that Jesus may be in the bread and in the wine" he means that Christ comes in the bread and in the wine, not to stand beside him or enter into him, like sugar in coffee, as Luther believed, but transustanziarlo, ie to change it in his body, so that taking Communion does not mean eating bread, even in the presence of Christ, ma eat the body of Christ.

His Holiness Francis I during a Eucharistic celebration

The audience the 7 March last [cf. WHO] the Holy Father treated the Eucharistic Prayer of the Holy Mass e, referring to the Eucharistic consecration formula pronounced by the celebrant, He has had the following words:

.

"Invoke the Spirit because it is, and in the bread and wine there is Jesus. The action of the Holy Spirit and the effectiveness of Christ's very words uttered by the priest, make really present, under the species of bread and wine, his Body and his Blood ".

.

The Pope's words at first they might seem to make sense Lutheran, namely that the real presence of the body of Christ in the Eucharist is to be understood, as Luther believed, as the presence of Jesus in the bread. In the event to, in Luther, with the consecration of the bread is not changed, that is transubstantiated into the Body of Christ, but the bread remains bread, and there is only the presence of Christ in the bread, even after invoking the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

.

the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Eucharistic celebration

You must open a parenthesis to clarify that in dogmatic theology, specifically in dogmatic sacramental, with the term transubstantiation [from Latin, trans-substantiatio], It indicates the conversion of the bread into the substance of Christ's body, the substance of the wine, the substance of the Blood of Christ. This term refers to the passage of a substance into another. During the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, Although the species of bread and wine remain unchanged in their color and flavor - and these are shown in the philosophical and theological language as so-called “damn external” —, the substance, namely the substantial element, persist despite appearances “accidental” the bread and wine are transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ, really present, living and true, in body, soul and divinity.

.

Dad, with words "So that Jesus may be in the bread and in the wine" means that Christ comes in the bread and in the wine, not to stand beside him or enter into him, like sugar in coffee, as Luther believed, but transustanziarlo, ie to change it in his body, so take Communion does not mean eating bread, even in the presence of Christ, but eating the body of Christ.

.

the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Eucharistic celebration

In fact, the Council of Trent He explained that the truth of the real Eucharistic presence supposed, after the words of the Eucharistic Prayer containing the so-called formula consecratory, the bread is no longer bread, but the body of Christ [see WHO], how accurate immediately after the Pontiff. This means that the Catholic and the Lutheran explanation of the real presence is not, as he believes Andrea Grillo [see WHO], Two possible explanations both legitimate, the fact - which is both dogma of faith - the Real Presence, because they are mutually exclusive according to the principle of non-contradiction, whereby, if true one o'clock, It can not be true the other, in conclusion: both can not be simultaneously true.

.

For here it is not subjective opinions or appearances or diversity of viewpoints, as claimed by Andrea Grillo. No. There is more at stake objective truth, It must apply to everyone and are entitled to the consent of all and that reflects the reality as it is in itself; It is so universal truth, one for all and valid for all.

Luther says in fact that the Bread remains bread. The Church says instead: bread is no longer bread. Luther says Christ is in the bread. The church, instead, as reported by the Pope says that the bread is no longer bread, but the body of Christ. Now, if true one o'clock proposition, the other is necessarily false. Unless we distinguish the more so since no. But the Council of Trent told us what is the real one. So, Lutheran is false.

.

the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Eucharistic celebration

Luther, in explaining the words of Christ «this is my body», He interprets them as if Christ would say something other than what it actually says. It's time to justify the assumption. It is known to dell'impanazione theory or consubstantiation: Christ is not under the species some bread transubstantiated into the Body of Christ, but Christ is in the bread and with the bread. So, on the table there is only the body of Christ, but there are the bread and the body of Christ. Non a substance, the body of Christ, but due: the bread and the body.

.

Luther changes the words of Christ. Rather than «this is my body», She makes him: «I am in this bread». It is clearly seen that Luther unfortunately refuses the distinction between substance and accidents, which serves as usefully to accept the dogma of transubstantiation and then to interpret correctly the words of the Lord, in particular the «this» [in Greek this, in Latin hoc].

.

The Lutheran thesis of Christ It empties into the bread of his own and original meaning of the Eucharistic Mystery; says nothing, that does not correspond to what is the general presence of Christ in all things. According to Luther, the Last Supper, Jesus would not have said anything special or new compared to what the apostles already knew. By eating the bread consecrated by Christ, they do not eat the body of Christ, but simply a bread in which Christ was present, as well as He is present in the hearts of good men and all creatures in the universe.

.

the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Eucharistic celebration

So that 'hoc It is no bread, but it is not the body until Christ did not finish pronouncing the words of consecration. In the moment in which pronounced that 'hoc, She was happening transubstantiation. It happened in the course of speaking of our Lord and because of his words. Likewise it happens over pronounce the words of consecration by the priest while ruling.

.

The Holy Father recalls then rightly and appropriately that the body of the Lord is hidden under the «species» some bread. What does it mean «species»? We must not think of the "species" in the biological sense or logic. The word, from the Latin species, in this case it means "appearance", "Semblance". One thing may have the appearance of another, so this conceals itself, its essence or its substance under that aspect. For instance, at Pentecost the Holy Spirit appeared in the aspect of tongues of fire [cf. At 2, 4-11], the baptism of Christ under the appearance of a dove [cf. Mt 3, 13-17].

.

But we must be careful here what the Church meant by the word species. It not intended to refer to an appearance or semblance deceptive, purely subjective, as it could be a dream, hallucination or an optical illusion. It is not that the consecrated host you look bianca, small round, because it really is. It is really, certainly and objectively. The senses retain their veracity, it is not vain appearances; It remains sensitive truths. The host is really white, small round. This is the meaning of the sentence of the Fathers: the host seems Bread, but it is not bread: It is the body of the Lord. And saying "it seems" - as the Church will explain later - the Fathers intend: really grasp the species, even if the substance of the Body of Christ is hidden and is seen only with the eyes of faith.

.

Wanting to use a prudent reserve Kant's concept of phenomenon, we could say that the He sees the believer in the consecrated Bread phenomenon, but he does not see the what in see, that does not see the bread. But he knows that thing in itself, ie the substance of the bread, there is not, but in its place is the body of Christ. It certainly will not be Kant, simple philosopher, to give this assurance, but obviously it is faith. However Kant, with the concept of thing in itself, as Aristotle with the concept of substance, It can help us to distinguish what in the host capture the senses by what means the intellect.

.

The disadvantage of Kant compared to Aristotle is that while for Aristotle the substance - in Greek οὐσία, ousia — it is intelligible and conceptualizable, ie you can know and express the essence, Kant, instead, the thing itself exists, it is designed [dal greco provided], but it is not known; therefore it can not be conceptualized, because for Kant the speculative concept only captures the phenomenon, for which the substance, Kant, It can not be a given ontological, but it is only empirical or at most is a requirement logic of predication. It is evident then that, with a similar concept of substance, Kant one can not speak of transubstantiation.

.

It must be said then that the Kantian duality phenomenon-what itself on the one hand it helps to understand the effect of transubstantiation, but another is misleading. It helps, as such duality tells appearance at the sense - the phenomenon - the sensible qualities which suppose a thing in itself unattainable by the way, but only by the intellect [provided]. The phenomenon, so, It is not pure appearance [Schein], but event [apparition] sensible, objective, some of the real and true.

.

the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Eucharistic celebration

But this duality, for another towards, It does not help, because it implies a thing in itself, is certain real [res = thing in itself] and independent of the subject, but unknowable in itself, which is a phenomenon; but the phenomenon intellect offers its own object, that is not the thing itself.

.

Now the Eucharistic species refer yes to a thing in itself, but for the believer it is not unknowable or indefinable, because it is the Body of the Lord. If we want, we could say that is unknowable to pure reason, but not to faith. One simple reason as that of the non-believer, It would be convinced that behind the appearances of bread there is nothing but bread. The rest, it is normal for the reason to know the invisible and impalpable substance by means of the visible external accidents and palpable.

.

the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Eucharistic celebration

It is only faith which tells us that behind the accidents of the bread is not bread but the body of Christ. Support, therefore, that after the consecration the bread remains bread, as supported by the presence of Christ, means ultimately not believe in the words of the Lord. Which means that faith alone saves admitting transubstantiation.

.

By remaining instead under the Kantian but we know that under the phenomenon is the thing itself, that might suggest the substance. Senonché, But as we said, for Kant the thing itself but is actually subsisting, indeed very certain and absolute, separate and independent from the intellect; ma, as is known, It is unknowable and indeterminable - is the "thing", not things - but for him the substance, multipliable and determined, only category intellect priori, that applies only to classify the phenomena and for which the intellect has need of an absolute subject and fixed below the becoming. Moreover, what the Church calls in the case of the Eucharist species, It corresponds to what in metaphysical and even in common parlance is called accident, additional properties ontological essence of things, necessary or contingent, Oh lost inamissibile, corrupting or perfective, invariably present in all material and spiritual realities created. The accident may fall under the direction as in the intellect. It concerns what the thing or of a reality appears to us immediately, so to speak to the surface, and emanating from within or from the bottom, or "heart" of the thing, said "substance", which is that for which a finite being there by himself and in himself, what in logic is the subject preaching, who speaks and the people talk about and to whom is attributed the predicate, that may be either substantive or accidental. But not predicated of accident except sostanzializzandolo. It is known as the "subject", through the use of the greek word ὑποκείμενον [ypokèimenon], which makes use of Aristotle and which literally means “stay under”; term then transposed in Latin - Under-iecto — to signify that it underlies or supports accidents.

.

Substance and accidents

.

the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Eucharistic celebration

The substance [2] is the full body as subsisting and acting according to its essence or specific nature [second substance] an individual [substance before]. The substance can be natural or artificial, the artifact, work of art or technique. That nature is created by God and is formed from a single substantial form, for example the shape of the chemical substance and the soul of the living. That is the artificial product of man and it is a set or ordered composed of parts of different substances. The host is an artificial substance.

.

Need profound and essential intellect It is to know the substance of things, beyond the accidents maybe fleeting and ephemeral, object of the senses. The substance is what in the entity and in the real there is more consistent, more important, more appealing to the intellect, who only, and not the way, He knows how to capture the substance. Of course, for precise and above all historical and concrete knowledge, it is also necessary to know the accidents, especially those essential and excessive strains. Instead, in scientific knowledge, interested to know where the universal, learn the essential and fundamental, to the accidental knowledge it is of little interest. We know the substance by means of accidents, because the substance is learned in its accidents.

.

The substance of the bread is bread. But it is clear that when you say the "bread", He means the bread with its accidents. However, the substance of the bread is really distinct from its accidents, even if the substance is normally with its accidents and these are inherent to their substance. The substance can not be, normally, without its accidents.

.

In transubstantiation, so, the substance of the bread does not remain alone, It is not canceled, as indeed the Tridentine dogma teaches [3] "It is totally converted into the substance of the body of Christ". Only this substance the body of Christ has its accidents, it must be understood not in terms of the substance of the body of Christ resurrected and ascended to heaven, if only it has its accidents - that is, his glorious body that takes forever etched on it the signs of the passion -, but it's, for the divine power, pure substance free from accidents [substantially].

.

Master and Keeper of the faith in the chair

Because of this, the body of Christ in this way the substance in the Blessed Sacrament is independent from the place, space and time, and can therefore be present in all the tabernacles of the world until the end of the world. Indeed, place, time and space are accidents of substance. As for the Eucharistic accidents of bread and wine, is to remember that God Almighty, creator of the substance and accidents, It causes that they exist without their substance, being sustained by Him. And this is precisely what happens in the Eucharist.

.

Since in the Blessed Sacrament remain the eucharistic accidents, and these accidents within a short time or for various reasons are corrupted, the act of corruption, It is less than the actual presence, why are not the accidents of bread and wine, under which there is the real presence.

.

The moment of consecration Mass thus occur as three miracles, that only the eyes of faith can see: first, transubstantiation; second, God supports the Eucharistic accidents deprived of their substance; third, God dispenses from the possession of the proper accidents of the body substance of the Risen Christ under the Eucharistic species.

.

That's why the Body and Blood of Christ, actually present after the Eucharistic Prayer in soul, body and divinity, People of God acclaims: Mystery of Faith! Announcing the death of Christ and proclaiming his resurrection, until he comes.

BY LUCIO BATTISTI TO JOHN THE BAPTIST, CHURCH disarray: "CONFUSION, I'M SORRY, IF YOU ARE THE DAUGHTER OF THE USUAL ILLUSION AND IF YOU MAKE CONFUSION "

.

The confusion is affecting the life of the visible Church, we Fathers de The Island of Patmos we write for years and who knows how many more years we will continue to write, the all too aware that today, the experience of faith, It is forced to move and purify themselves in two particular areas: the desert and the catacombs.

In the world of the arts, There are works that can transmit perceptions and different stimuli from one time to another. Characteristic of true art expression is to talk through time, This is true for literature and theater, painting and music. The same also applies to our senses, in particular for taste and smell, it is not uncommon with the striving of the time of the foods that were rejected, for example in the period of childhood, become very welcome and appreciated later on, or viceversa; Similarly it is possible that the aromatic essences that once liked, in the future they should give nuisance, or viceversa.

.

Hardly listening to pop music, Although aware that Italy has given the world some of the most celebrated songwriters, especially in the sixties and eighties of the twentieth century. Many songs of our authors still popular after decades, translated into many languages ​​and known to the world public. And among these talented authors, stands Lucio Battisti. Like this, If listening to the song "Confusion", instead of looking back to my childhood days - since I was nine when my then 20-year-old cousins ​​sang it, running time per year 1972 ―, I was led to a completely theological reflection. The phrase that turned me on so-called "light" on the words of this song was one of the chorus:

.

"Confusion, i'm sorry, if you're the daughter of the usual illusion and if you mess. Confusion, you would also anoint the last little emotion » [cf. video WHO, text WHO].

The confusion is affecting the life of the visible Church, I write about it for years and who knows how many others I will continue to write, knowing that today, the experience of faith, It is forced to move and purified in two specific areas: the desert and the catacombs.

.

We start from the desert, that the experience of faith is not just a territory, but a precise metaphysical space that emerges in the Old Testament, then acquiring a proper sense in the New Testament. The desert that the ancient people of Israel must go, marks a journey of faith towards the hope of a land promised by God. The silent spaces and boundless, help to perceive how the desert is a place of grace and of meeting with God, who cares for man [cf. Dt 2,7]. Through the actions of saving and healing grace received by man listening, God changes the desert from danger and death in a place of salvation and rebirth of life, until it becomes a fruitful ground [cf. Is 35,1.7].

.

In the New Testament the desert is the place from which the Precursor, John the Baptist, prepares the way for the Lord, which it is primarily via conversion: «I am the voice of one crying out in the desert: "Prepare the way of the Lord", as the prophet Isaiah said " [GV 1, 22-23]. And in the desert, the very Word of God made man, Christ the Lord, tried those temptations that in those same spaces desert the ancient people of Israel could not win instead. defeating, He shows how the pitfalls of Satan should be overcome by listening and obedience in faith, mutandoci into docile instruments guided by the Word of God speaking, It opens and blows away the sands of the deserts of our souls.

.

Lucio Battisti, archive photos

If the spiritual desert is silent place in which the faith is growing and is blessed by the gifts of grace, modern catacombs are the place where faith grows, manifests and transmits. Those modern to which we are called, or sometimes forced, They are no longer the Roman catacombs of the early Christians persecuted, because the concept of catacomb and persecution is mutated in its external accidental form, even if, in substance, persecution always remains the same. Today, who keeps faith and lives, It is no longer thrown among the beasts of the Colosseum during the big games, but killed by the indifference of the new decadent paganism, all with no small difference: This no longer happens outside the Church, but inside the Church, because when the world there even deemed no longer worthy to be eaten, Sometimes it feels rather ridiculous, sunk as we are "in the satire that everything drowns in the ridiculous" [cf. My previous article, WHO], at that point we begin to sbranarci among us, unaware that the Blessed Apostle Paul admonishes us: "But if you bite and devour one another, heed that are not consumed by one another!» [Gal 5,15]. For what the catacombs are no longer hidden places, wrapped by the silence and the dark; our modern catacombs are in the midst of the confusion generated by a man who lives ephemeral illusions, after having declared that God is dead. These are the heavy and partly prophetic words that Friedrich Nietzsche expressed in Parable of the crowds: «God is dead! God stays dead! And we killed him!» [God is dead! God remains dead! And we killed him!]. And on the "death of God" man has embalmed the fetish of superman, such is his fear of death, always feared by those who are completely devoid of faith, of hope and charity.

.

Our metaphysical desert and our modern catacombs, rise in the noise of a world in confusion generated by illusions; and if the man who killed God and now feels free to proudly God someone dares to touch the fetishes of its great illusions, here he the imbalsamerà, because anyone is free from an eternal perspective, always trying to defend themselves from their fears crystallized in this museum of modern Egyptian mummies.

.

The two opposing sides constituted by the so-called traditionalists Lefebvrians and against so-called progressive labeled modernist root and thread-Lutheran, antithetical in their diversity, make up the bed of the river that collects the running of tired and polluted waters of the visible Church, the flow of which should be moved by the purity of grace, not by toxic waste. Here then, the first side, He would mummify a past that must not pass; a past that is often never even existed, as the result of their fantasies, in the name of "conservation without progress» [cf. Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, WHO]. The second bank, which aims at a "progress without conservation ' [cf. Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, supra], He would rather cripple forever a present that does not have to go and evolve, thus making the life of a static Mystical Body formed by a people on a journey with Christ that his boss and we live members gives life to the pilgrim Church on earth. Hence at this point, the visible Church, from river of grace turns into a dead river.

.

The Word of God has been clear and a time without clarity, because its truth is eternal, containing the same eternal life its rules [cf. GV 3,36]. And clearly he warned us: "If the world hates you, know that it hated me before. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you from the world, that's why the world hates you " [GV 15, 18]. Just as he hated John the Baptist, that before the works of the Principe of this world [cf. GV 16,11], no attempt to mediate in any way, but with clear decision he rebuked Herod: "The wife of your brother You are not allowed to hold" [MC 6,18]. The rest of the story is known, val but worth remember: «[…] Therefore Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to kill […] An opportunity came on auspicious day, when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers, the officers and the leading men of Galilee. When the daughter of the same Herodias, She danced, and pleased Herod and his guests;. Then the king said to the girl: "Ask me what you want and I will give it". And Saul swore: "Whatever you ask me, I will give, even to the half of my kingdom ". She went out and said to his mother: "What shall I ask?”. And she said,: "The head of John the Baptist". And he ran to the king and made her request,: "I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist" […] The king immediately sent a guard with the order that his head be brought " [MC 6, 19-27].

.

Lucio Battisti, archive photos

Showing up to the death of Christ and not be in the world, be aware that Christ may result in being hated by the world, the Baptist looked so accommodating by mediating between Herod and Herodias, or he omitted to say what is right and what is wrong, what is moral and what is immoral. What to say: perhaps today the Baptist would be considered unwelcoming and not at all including, too rigorous and not very merciful, in conclusion, a kind of real proto-Pelagian made from arid desert sands, from wild honey and locusts which long had been eating, an arid idolizes the law …

.

From the experience of the Baptist we turn now to the words of Battisti to understand what is the "illusion" that the visible Church general "confusion", up to push her to seek the applause of the world, instead of his hatred, it costs money as well as our head placed on a tray after a dance of Salome, for satanic whim of Herodias.

.

Lucio Battisti, archive photos

The "daughter of the usual illusion" that is "confusion" It born from today's inability to distinguish the individual person, not good infrequently, by religious aggregations, political or ideological containing its own serious and dangerous mistakes inside. Then we proceed with the examples to clarify: I am the first to have good relations with Muslim individuals with goodness, humanity and respect for others, with whom it is my pleasure to have relations. But that can not push me to a dangerous mistake: confuse the single cleaved from the group, with those who are the mistakes and the dangers contained in the structure of Islam, that does not take life from a man of God, but from the false prophet Muhammad. Having said that we should not forget another point of no small importance: when in certain historical periods, also recent, in some Arab countries they were unleashed persecution against minorities made up of Jews and Christians, it happened that some individuals have been worried about rescuing their friends Jews and Christians, But it also happened that others, until just before sincere friends, They have instead reported where they had been hidden, because at the time when it was unleashed hatred, in them he did not prevail, nor the sense of humanity or friendship, but on the one hand the tribal spirit, other collective submission to religious and political authorities; and as history teaches us, and we documented, these latter have always been the great majorities, the above documents the number of dead, because to do many dead takes many executioners and executioners of entire populations are accomplices.

.

Does anyone think maybe I don't I entertain relations with exponents of Protestantism, several of which are much more lovable and worthy of so many Catholics of my knowledge, in particular of some of my fellow priests? However, this cannot lead me to a sensational error, such would be the transfer human and goodness of the individual quality of the current schismatic and heretical which is Protestantism. Indeed, I know both sincere and friendly relations with several singles worthy Lutherans, It does not imply that unreasonably, surreal and emotional, put me to proclaim good and worthy poisonous heresies of Martin Luther and his followers, or worse to give this heresiarch the title of "reformer" and the person "well-intentioned".

.

Lucio Battisti, archive photos

Some may think that I do not have friends, also very expensive, full of kindness towards their wives and their children, sincere and faithful friends, with two divorces behind him and a way of life totally opposite to what are the values ​​of the Christian life? Of course I have and I frequent this kind of friends, but the goodness of the individual can not take me but to approve and declare good and just certain conduct of immoral and dissolute life.

.

Some may think that since his youth, species attending certain environments the so-called high society, I have not met a dense army of homosexuals, scattered among the field of the old aristocracy, The world of arts and professions, several of which are filled with kindness, sympathy and human kindness? Of course, I've known them. And many also cherish fond memories, but this can not get me to define the practice of homosexuality as a "natural variant of human sexuality", let alone just the instances of lobby gay, nor define the legitimate extension of marriage to same-sex couples, the adoption of children by these couples or worse the purchase by certain selfish rich&ricchioni children bought from wombs for rent. In the gay so you can not believe that with money anyone can really afford all, unless trigger a reaction the gay and ferocious witch-hunt against anyone who dares to dissent from aggressive and politicized lobbyists Sodom&Gomorrah, for which the freedom of others of expression and dissent, It ends where they seek to impose their own selfishness along with their culture of death to the sound of slaps give it up to natural law, often with a spirit worthy of a real gaystapo. I wish it was clear that two rich&ricchioni, type Elton John and his husband-wife or husband-wife, They buy two children from the wombs for rent, not mark the triumph of life, but the triumph of the culture of death of man, of society and of a whole civilization. And if I say this, it is not because they are callous and inhumane, but because I follow the example of John the Baptist, that about, Christ gave, He not stated at all “Ah, rigorous, so far, little merciful and proto-Pelagian”, but upon himself he said: "I tell you, among those born of women there is none greater than John […]» [LC 7,28].

.

Salome with the Head of John the Baptist, by Guido Reni

With this I think I have shown, Baptists from the Baptist, the poison mistake that for decades has infected the visible Church, reduced to a river that runs moved from polluted waters and toxic: the mistake is to no longer distinguish sin from the sinner, the dall'errante error. The sin, how the error, even more heresy, go decisively and harshly sentenced, always, never harbor any fear of this world and its children. Otherwise instead, the sinner and the wanderer, are welcomed and encouraged in our desert, to be able to hear the voice of the Word of Christ and prepare the way for it, after being purified from the filth of sin.

.

the visible Church in recent years has chosen instead to please the world, thereby negating the very essence of the Gospel, "Embalming" in the world and the world also "our last little emotion», as sings Battisti, while the head of John the Baptist is always there, as an eternal warning on a tray, while the Church always visible more disfigured today is applauded by his fiercest enemies and the worst ever, applauding its internal self-destruction, to his being precipitated in the decadent satire, while the great whore Herodias continues to sell at a high price the dances of his daughter Salome, that is not how the tender girl of the song "Balla Linda" of Baptists: "I look for you and you give me what you can, You do not like her, no you do not like her, you do not take anything you want " [cf. WHO e WHO]. Herodias wants to take everything, because to move is the Principe of this world, one who "was precipitated, the accuser of our brothers, the one who accused them before our God day and night " [AP 12,10], but which it was won "through the blood of the Lamb and through the word of their testimony; for they loved not their lives even unto death " [AP 12, 11].

.

"Confusion, i'm sorry, if you're the daughter of the usual illusion and if you mess. Confusion, you would also anoint the last little emotion » [cf. video WHO, text WHO].

Eschatology of Death: START AND END ETERNAL

The Fathers de The Island of Patmos during the video shoot in the Convent of the Dominican Fathers of Varazze

In this new video lesson Dominican theologian Giovanni Cavalcoli deals with the subject of death.

.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church [n. 988-989]: The Christian Creed - the profession of our faith in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and in God's creative, the saving and sanctifying action - culminates in the proclamation of the resurrection of the dead at the end of time, and in eternal life. We firmly believe, and hence we hope that, as Christ is truly risen from the dead and lives forever, so the righteous, after their death, live for ever with the risen Christ, and he will raise them on the last day. Like her, also our resurrection will be the work of the Holy Trinity:

.

"If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you " [cf. RM 8,11].

What is happening to the Supreme Pontiff Francis? Never before Satan had undermined the Papacy

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN POPE FRANCIS? NEVER AS TODAY THE SATAN had threatened Papacy

.

You can not be excluded, to about, that Pope Francis is currently tempted by the devil, master of that pride which leads to heresy. This could explain the frequent calls of the Pope to fight against the Devil, is unusual in Popes, at least the last centuries, especially for concrete instructions that the Pope imparts, which suggests that he speaks from experience. This is especially noticeable in the Apostolic Exhortation Rejoice and rejoice.

Illustration by Lucifer. Poem by Mario Rapisardi. IV Edition illustrated by 40 drawings of Gino De’ bini. Rome, Edoardo Perino publisher, 1887

If a person that we value and love begins to show signs of infidelity against those values ​​for which the esteem and love, we obviously can not but worry, ask on what may depend on this decadence and what we can do to remedy it. Similar sentiments try us Catholics to the Holy Father, that with some growing, It gives worrying signs not to do his duty as Supreme Pastor of the Church.

.

Behavior and Pope Francis ideas Today like large crowds, pastors and theologians attached to this world and to a self-styled progressive Catholicism, but in reality Modernist, as well as to non-Catholic circles.

.

Not that the Pope teach heresy, but nevertheless he walks on the edge of the ravine. But what happened to him? The answer is simple: it is left to take the taste of power. Worldwide, so, It seems to have to depend on his word and his will. His fans They would like to convince him that there is no dogma, there is no sacrament, there is no tradition, there is no moral law, there is no institution of the Church and the State, that he can not change his will, considering themselves increasingly under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

.

A case never happened in the history of the Church

.

Lucifer, drawings of Gino De’ bini

But where is the caretaker Pope, interpreter and defender of the faith deposit, supreme preacher of the Gospel, High Priest dispenser of the sacraments, zealous father, judge and physician of souls, guide in the ways of holiness to the kingdom of heaven, guarantor of order, the right, of justice, of freedom, of progress and peace in the Church, light of the nations and save the world?

.

It is conceivable that Pope Francis is tempted by the devil, master of that pride which leads to heresy. This could explain the frequent calls of the Pope to fight against the Devil, something completely unusual in the Supreme Pontiffs, at least the last centuries, especially for concrete instructions that the Pope imparts, which suggests that he speaks from experience. This is especially noticeable in the Apostolic Exhortation Rejoice and rejoice [text WHO].

.

In fact I am convinced than ever in history Satan has launched against the papacy such a violent and insidious attack, and just about the most important office of the Pope, which it is the case of the doctrine of the faith. The attack on Pope Francis is the culmination of an action that Satan has instigated in the Church since the immediate post-conciliar, stir with a renewed modernism, especially in rahnerismo, under the pretext of conciliar renewal.

.

Lucifer, drawings of Gino De’ bini

And so the power of darkness has deceived the episcopate, instilling in it the illusory belief that it was no longer necessary to guard against heresies, and that the time of heresies and their relative sentence had ceased due to the climate of dialogue initiated by the Council and the implementation of the St John XXIII recommendation to seek what unites us and not what divides. Senonché, this profit warning, which serves to create peace and harmony, It was intended as an invitation to ignore the heresies, from which arise precisely divisions. The exhortation of the Holy Pontiff to not split was intended as an inducement not to take into account and therefore not to eliminate what divides.

.

In this way, the revived modernism, unrestrained in time by the bishops, these fifty years has increased continuously, to penetrate in the eighties in the Pontifical Faculty and, with Pope Benedict XVI, the same Holy See. In this period of time the papacy has seen itself progressively eroded and weakened in the fight against modernism due to the lack of support from the bishops, among them began to penetrate the smart rahnerismo, fake supporter episcopate, when in fact it puts him against the Pope and enslaves to the wishes of the laity. In tal modo, despite the valiant Cardinal Josef Ratzinger at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, personally critical of Rahner, this same Congregation never had the strength to condemn. Only Saint John Paul II in 1993 in the encyclical The Splendor of Truth [NN. 65-67, text WHO] He managed to condemn his moral doctrine, but only its moral doctrine.

.

A Pope sinner but not a heretic

.

Lucifer, drawings of Gino De’ bini

Let us say clearly: It may not occur in the case of a heretic Pope. whatever Catholic, Secretary of State-down can be a heretic, besides the Pope. The existence, then the essence of the Church, universal sacrament of salvation, in his own immutable and indestructible identity and desired holiness and guaranteed by Christ, Originally it depends ultimately dogmatic teaching of the Pope. For this reason the Council of Florence 1442 He teaches that whoever disobeys or rebels against the Pope goes to Hell. He was not wrong Boniface VIII in saying that the pope's authority is supreme among all those that exist in the land, including thunderstorms, under that of Christ "all power was given to me in heaven and on earth" [Mt 28,18].

.

To about, But, a Pope can sin temporalism of or attachment to power in two ways: or claim to politically steer down from his spiritual power temporal affairs, interfering in them and removing the political rulers their autonomy, or by setting the entire papal ministry on a timeline or merely political, or at most anthropological, leaving on one side the apostolic and spiritual ministry. Is this, Unfortunately, It is the Pope Francesco defect.

.

Lucifer, drawings of Gino De’ bini

It never happened to such a degree in the history of the Church is the presence in it of heretics who go unpunished, is the persecution of the faithful by these currents heretical places occupying power. Certainly the Church heretics were always there, but they were regularly expelled or declared themselves frankly it does not consider the Catholics.

.

The Pope should not take offense to the criticism addressed to him. Getting back, it seems, following the example of Christ, which he was criticized by the Pharisees, he too easily in what feels like Christ certainly considering Pharisees those who criticize him and reaches almost to boast of being criticized. Yup, Certain, there is a certain pharisaism in critical that some do. However, he should be able to distinguish the adverse criticism based on unjust prejudices against him, from those just and reasonable, instead of which should take into account, not to show proud and touchy.

.

But grace, Anyway, in this dramatic emergency, It reaches everyone in the Church, including bishops and Pope, through the laity, simple faithful, journalists, intellectuals, politicians, writers, Philosophy, theology, prophets and mystics. There is no shortage of priests and religious. However, the Church is indestructible, despite the powers of Hell continually raging against it. If things continue, we expect the conversion of the Pope and the bishops by the action and prayer of God's people.

.

Lucifer, drawings of Gino De’ bini

All members of the earthly Church, the Pope included, as long as they live here on earth, as sanctified in the Church, always run the risk of getting lost. They, to sanctify, They must be in communion with the Church, including Pope, because it is holy and source of sanctity, animated by the Holy Spirit. The Pope enjoys the holiness of the Church that he himself administers the sacraments to Christ's mandate. And the small army of prophetic lay, that will save the Church, It must also obviously feeding the sacraments, the administration of which the high priest is the Pope.

.

Communion with the Church, therefore, means communion with the Pope, although these may be in mortal sin and as such internally outside the Church. Yet the Pope, even under these conditions deprecabili, He remains as head of the Church, principle of ecclesial communion, minimum legal.

.

Lucifer, drawings of Gino De’ bini

They are wrong, therefore, those who speak of a Pope "schismatic". You see they do not know what a schism. It is indeed the separation from church, but by that very fact the Pope. Now, the Pope evidently can not be separated from itself, nor can excommunicate himself. The Pope is the only Catholic who can not be excommunicated. Here, however, it is a legal fact of the external forum. This does not prevent that a Pope is out of the Church in the internal forum, as in a state of mortal sin. If the Church is holy, who is not holy it can not belong to the Church in the soul, but rather only with the body. Or rather for a mere legal fact-functional. It can continue to do the Pope, but it certainly will not do it as it should.

.

It is possible that these considerations Pope Francis have led to a serious examination of conscience and a beginning of repentance, from which two important documents were the result, almost programmatic, that look the sign of a ski. In these two documents, the first of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the letter God decided, [text, WHO] the second the Apostolic Constitution Rejoice and rejoice [text WHO], It seems to have to even track down a new beginning or a new setting of Pope Francis's pontificate, more adherent to its specific and irreplaceable duties.

.

Lucifer, drawings of Gino De’ bini

Par grasp Francis I a clear and strong awareness. One gets the impression that he begins to grasp seriously and decisively the authentic and original meaning of his being Pope. You get the impression of reading in the two documents the traditional "intentions" at the end of a course of spiritual exercises; and here appears the Jesuit. As if Francis would say to himself: "Now I want to start to get serious". A speech that Francesco does more for his Successor of Peter soul not for the Church his Bride, today sufferer so for betrayals Groom. A keynote address to the Master [God decided] and the Shepherd [Rejoice and rejoice].

.

We pray for him, Why, as the Pope says in Rejoice and rejoice, we always have time to give ourselves completely to God.

“The light in the darkness”, a book by Aldo Maria Valli of Benedict XVI

/in /by

"THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS", A BOOK OF ALDO MARIA VALLEYS OF BENEDICT XVI

.

Valli knows well that this Pope is legitimate and as such he is a teacher of the truth of faith, but he also knows that not every Pope is a teacher, example and moral costumes model and in particular in leading the Church. No Pope has taught the Church about heresy. But a Pope, by its negligence or for its recklessness, evil can rule the Church.

The Vatican TG1 Aldo Maria Valli, author of the book A glance into the night- Recalling Benedict XVI [cf. WHO]

The well-known Vatican expert Aldo Maria Valli for some time now it is following with the utmost attention to the behavior of the present Pope, as part of its work and above, in reference to its Catholic beliefs, He knows well and highly estimated the guide itself a Pope, except accidents, exercise and must exercise over the Church, according to Christ's command "Feed my lambs" [GV 21,16].

.

His interest in this important topic, which today fascinates and divides among them many Catholics, It not enclosed within the limits of his professional work. Even Pope Francis, the beginning attracts the admiration and hopes of Valli, who will dedicate some publications. However, He at one point of Francis' pontificate begins, with other Catholics, to remain perplexed in its doctrinal and moral convictions as a Catholic, before certain attitudes, choices and the Pope's speeches, appearing squeak by those beliefs.

.

There is at play a certain traditionalism which remains attached to the past. Valli has nothing to do with this area of ​​Catholicism, certainly not devoid of positive aspects, but it is a progressive, who he had previously publicly expressed admiration for Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini. So recriminations Lefebvrist do no hold on him. The other part, Valli not even side with the prevailing modernism, which it is self-appointed "progressive", to conceal the false conciliar renewal he trumpeted.

.

For Valli is only a matter of truth. And the truth of faith, God's Word, the dogma does not pass. This is where the progressivism of Valli, completely healthy and legitimate, It is distinguished from the false modernist progressivism, historicist and relativistic. True progress, indeed, is the clarification and development of what is to be kept unchanged and unaffected. The rest, Ratzinger himself was famously in the work of the council among progressive theologians; and that he has always remained. Ma, at a certain point, he noticed the false progressivism rahneriano, which it was actually modernism.

.

For Valli, so, being progressive does not mean going to put up with a revolutionary hangover on the model of the famous "challenge" of 1968 [cf. Massimo Introvigne, The other 1968. The birth of organized dissent in the Catholic Church, WHO]. For him, the Pope is Peter, the firm rock, which you can trust and on which you can safely position to build a solid building resistant to storms [cf. Mt 16:13-20]. Valli is a progressive person who maintains the lucid reason and knows that progress is progress of those absolute values ​​or "non-negotiable", that should be stored, and that the constructive change is the improvement of the immutable. It is a progressive, not a modernist.

.

Valli therefore knows that the word of any Pope It can surprise with its novelty; can participate in the paradox of the Gospel; but can not be irrational; It is not a slippery slope or a movable sand, in which it sinks to be buried by the mud. Peter certainly has its weaknesses, is a sinner like all of us, but he is the teacher of truth, the custodian of the deposit, the teacher of the Word "does not pass".

.

Valli knows well that this Pope is legitimate and as such is a master of the truth of faith, but he also knows that not every Pope is a teacher, example and moral costumes model and in particular in leading the Church. No Pope has taught the Church about heresy. But a Pope, by its negligence or for its recklessness, evil can rule the Church.

.

It happened so Valli having to change his opinion in the transition from Pope Benedict to Pope Francis. If up to Benedict Valli felt compelled to support the full line of a truly reformist Pope, mild pastor of the Church, bravest of modernistic errors enemy, wise teacher of truth, lover of the sacred in the liturgy, opponent of world forces that want to put an end to the Church, ie Islamism, Communism and Freemasonry, innovator of apologetics, and then the activity missionary, with shed light on the relationship between reason faith, prudent and zealous advocate of ecumenical dialogue, opened at the entrance of non-Catholics in the Roman Church - see the conversion of Anglicans - [cf. WHO e WHO], alien from meddling the Papacy in politics, but attentive to the duties of lay Catholics in politics. Now that Pope Francis has blocked almost all the wise initiatives that Benedict was carrying out, Valli was right not bring himself to fully support a pastor who seems to talk to the wolves rather than sheep.

.

What is making Francis?

.

From what Francis is doing, We have the distinct impression that he wants to make the revolutionary compared to what they did the previous Popes. How much rather it would be useful for Francis and the Church, he took example from them and go on the track drawn from them! The Pope Francis error, what his sycophants appear as the title of an unprecedented glory, It is to be believed a pope more advanced than those that preceded it.

.

It is this belief that prevents him from seeing in them their exemplary sanctity or at least their virtues. The recent document published on the sanctity, It may serve to see more clearly. But then, a more advanced Pope to where? Considering the acts of Francis, It is not difficult to answer: to the modern world. It is the temptation of modernism.

.

Francis knows how to appreciate the values ​​of modernity. But looking from scolding him become odious to the world of its sin or correcting its errors. The important, for Francesco, It seems to be the meeting with the world, welcome the world and assimilate the world. It seems that for Francis the Church's task is to elevate the world to heaven, but simply to bend the world to lift it from its miseries and satisfy him in his needs.

.

The re-enactment of Benedetto's work by Valli in his book A glance into the night. Recalling Benedict XVI [1], then it is a clear message addressed to Pope Francis reminding a Pope who has not succumbed to the world, at the cost of being "savaged by wolves" [p.9]. So if the previous two books: 266. Jorge Mario Bergoglio Franciscus P.P. e Like the Church ended, Valli is addressed directly to the Pope, even in the latter Valli thinks the current Pope, in order to present an example in Benedict. In this regard it cites Valli splendid portrait of Benedict made by Vittorio Messori in 2010:

.

"Who knows him well, He knows to what extent the Professor Ratzinger, then Cardinal Prefect, finally Pontiff, coexist severity and mercy, rigor and understanding, compliance with the standard and attention to the individual human situation. There is, in him, the humanity of the old men of the Church, that, from the pulpit, They denounced loud sin; but then, in the confessional, face to face with the real sinner, They interpreted generously the call of Christ to understand and forgive […] This son of the old Catholic Bavaria, As there is marked, precisely, the authentic Catholicism: the rejection of inhuman ferocity Jacobean, the rejection of condemnation, without the piety for the human condition. The current attempts to drag it to the bench of the accused know nothing, among many other errors and manipulations, of this wisdom which is the same that marks the Church's two thousand year experience " [p. 44].

.

But Pope Francis is unfortunately surrounded by a group of co-workers and friends, forming a barrier around him, called by the Cardinal Gerhard Müller 'magic circle' [cf. WHO].

.

However we must report with pleasure the recent publication of two important documents: the letter God has pleased the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on the modern errors and the Apostolic Constitution Rejoice and exultate the call to holiness in the contemporary world [see WHO e WHO].

.

Pope francesco, in Rejoice and rejoice, appropriately it presents many models of Saints. How would, however, was persuasive if, thinking humbly to their sanctification, He had stopped on the figure of St. John Paul II, Also to allay certain fears not unfounded that Francis, especially with the publication of 'The joy of love [see WHO] I have not been able to understand and fully appreciate the high moral wisdom of the Holy Pontiff. The fact remains that the Pope has chosen the right path; we hope that he continues to follow it and that he is not again sucked by "friends".

.

Pope Benedict Valli

.

Valli collects all the work of Pope Benedict under the sign of truth. Early in the book calls him the "Pope of the truth". And there is no doubt that under this sign, which suggests the Dominican motto veritas, Pope Ratzinger has lived his pontificate, in line with its previous Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and his career as a theologian, who what, if not the servant of the divine truth? A "consecrated in the truth" [cf. GV 17,17].

.

Valli shows very well as an important aspect of the action Benedict and the program was to collect and give response to the call of St. John Paul II to rediscover the Christian roots of Europe. The center of Catholicism in Europe, and this is obvious the interest that Benedict and John Paul had, just as popes, for how Christianity spread in Europe and from there to the world.

.

Valli stops to show wisdom and zeal with whom Pope Benedict has insisted on several occasions on the need for a revaluation and strengthening of human reason [2] in its openness to the transcendent and faith, in the universality of its theoretical and moral principles, as a way to reaffirm dialogue between all men of good will, such that it is their religious affiliation.

.

It cannot be denied in Pope Francis a remarkable capacity for human contact and communication. Il suo universalism, But, It seems to depend more on a sympathetic-emotional factor, and intellectual.

.

The figure and the work of Benedict that come out of the book of Valli are those of a Pope, as indeed the previous, constantly under the pull of the world and the modernists, Whether the administration of the Roman Curia, or the problem of pedophile, or that the Islamists or masonry or ecumenism or communism or politics or the liturgy or lefevriani.

.

Despite the open profession of realism by Francesco encyclical the gospel of joy, for whom reality is superior to the idea and the recent Letter of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith God decided, condemning subjectivism and egocentrism of Gnosticism and Pelagianism, Valli, along with many other observers, It highlights the difference in epistemological and practical approach between Francis and that of Benedict. While in fact, in these it is evident the realistic biblical intellectualism, Which raises the obedience to the real truth, that is from the conformity of intellect and thing, foundation and main idea practice, in Francis you note the trace of a certain voluntarism Ignatian od Occamistic, for which the truth does not simply depend intellect and reason, but from a decision or trend will or a surge of affection.

.

Vice versa, Joseph Ratzinger had set the program of his papacy evident in accordance with the common needs of Cardinals that elected him almost immediately, the fourth ballot, so widespread in the College of Cardinals was worried knowing that the first urgent problem that needed to be solved was how to fix the invasion of modernism, it was far from solved, and he was doing groping the Church in the night. Here is the indovinatissimo meaning of the title of the book by Valli. On a black background you see here are intelligent and gentle eyes of Pope Benedict emerge from the darkness, not the view of the Pope from behind on the cover of Peter Seewald's interview book, evoking that of a loser, that goes away showing their backs. Not at all. The Pope Benedict eyes see in the night, see if we can not see and, in the night, They shed light and show us the way.

.

While therefore it was clear Pope Benedict has sought to advance the Church in truth and victory over falsehood, Pope Francis seems to solve all the progress in the execution of practices deliveries: mercy, the welcome, the dialogue, the outgoing Church, the polyhedron, integration, the discernment, accompaniment; All imperatives in themselves good, easy to learn, who have formed the "vocabulary" of Pope Francis, but they leave out others, equally important.

.

At the end of the comparison of the valleys between the two Popes it appears that Pope Francis, "Revolutionary", it did not advance the Church, but he has done it recede with respect to that of Benedict.

.

It must be then that Pope Francis - that's the clear message and the call of the Holy Father Valli -, free from moderniste sirens and masonry promises, resume the interrupted work of Pope Benedict, because that is the true path of the conciliar reform and real progress of the Church, without subjecting themselves to the world, not to be confused with the world, not fearing the hostility of the world and without flattery towards the world, because Christ has given him the strength to save the world and win it where rebels to Christ.

We rewrote the theology: "Even in Communism there is good». It is therefore necessary to highlight all the positives of Marxism and focus on what unites both good and not on what divides worse

/1 Comment/in /by

We rewrote THEOLOGY: "EVEN COMMUNISM IS THE GOOD '. SO, YOU SHOULD HIGHLIGHT ALL POSITIVES OF MARXISM AND BID ON WHAT UNITES IN GOOD AND NOT ON WHAT YOU DIVIDE IN THE MALE

.

The Church has repeatedly condemned Communism. Some continue to do so, perhaps because they are biased and lacking the necessary clarity. It would indeed be better, rather than condemn, seek and take what is good also in Communism, because there are many positive aspects that should be highlighted and followed up.

Thomas Hobbes, stampa vintage

Between the 16th and 17th centuries two British thinkers referred to as "great philosophers", the speculations of which still constitute the pillars of modern philosophy of law, they expressed different opinions on the concept of nature. In a nutshell: Thomas Hobbes [1588-1679] stated that "man is a devouring wolf for every other man" [War against all; homo, man, lupus]. Per Hobbes, so, the "state of nature" is a war of every man against all, assuming that man - to summarize it briefly -, it is not naturally good. John Locke takes a different view [1632-1704] for which the state of nature, understood as the initial condition of man, does not manifest itself as a "war of all against all», but as a condition that can instead lead to a peaceful and positive social coexistence.

.

If for Hobbes man is evil by nature because he is afraid of other men, so he attacks so as not to be attacked, per Locke, who has a more optimistic view, man is not born corrupt or inclined to evil. If we want to add to these two thinkers what the Swiss Calvinist Jean Jacques Rousseau thought [1712-1778], from it it emerges that man is not born bad or evil, but it becomes so because of institutions and society, in conclusion … because of others.

.

John Locke, stampa vintage

These three thinkers referred to as philosophers, they were socio-political scientists with not slight gaps in the knowledge of philosophical thought, of its great speculations and its great speculators. But as good readers will understand, this is not the place to start a complex discussion on three equally complex figures who in subsequent times have favored more the development of misunderstandings and harm than of benefits.

.

The problem of the nature of man I analyze it from a theological point of view, to be exact, starting from the theology of original sin. Therefore affirming that man is born good or that man is born bad, this is partly wrong and partly reductive, given that malice is a manifestation that arises as a consequence of something else. In my Christian and theological perspective, man is born corrupt; and this is a fact for me, because with all due respect to certain poisonous theologians of the past and present, original sin is neither a metaphor nor an allegory, but a fact. So that, by the unnatural corruption of man generated as a consequence of that fact, all the worst are born side effects, also unnatural, given that the unnaturalness, if triggered as a mechanism, in turn produces unnaturalness.

.

The Creator of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible, nature created it perfect, not imperfect, and the heart of this perfection was precisely man, to whom God entrusted the entire creation. With their own rebellion against God, man alters this balance making himself and the whole creation imperfect. The consequence was the entry on the scene of the disease, of pain, of physical decay and death. For nature, instead, the consequence was that it became hostile to man: drought, famines, tidal waves, earthquakes, eruption of volcanoes, infectious diseases, plagues ...

.

Abel and Cain, Zeri collection

The man, more than bad, born corrupt. The wickedness, in its own way inherent in human nature, is the consequence of this corruption of which the episode of those two brothers who represent the state in which our ancestors precipitated humanity is a paradigm: Abel and Cain. If we then think about it, Cain was not only the first murderer, but also the first traitor, the first warmonger. Indeed, after Cain misled his brother and killed him, God sternly admonished him saying: «And now you are cursed more than the earth that has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you will cultivate the soil, it will no longer give you its products and you will be a vagabond and a fugitive on earth " [Gen 4:11-12]. Then Cain complained: “My punishment is too great for me to bear. there, you drive me today from the face of this ground and I will be hidden from your face; and I will be a wanderer and a fugitive across the land, and it will happen that whoever finds me will kill me " [Gen 4:13-14]. God answered: "Therefore, whoever kills Cain, he will be punished seven times ". And the Lord placed a sign on Cain so that no one would find him, killed him. Then Cain withdrew from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden " [Gen 4:15-16].

I tend to think that the mark with which Cain was marked, it is a mark that God has imprinted on all humanity after corruption entered the world scene with the sin of Adam and Eve, it had produced its fruits with this fratricide. Of course, one wonders why God did not punish Cain with death, but after marking it he orders that no one touch him. Faced with this question, I have always found the answer given by Victor Hugo in his work interesting The last day of a condemned man :

Adam and Eve, stampa vintage

"Taking revenge belongs to the individual, to punish is God's. The company is between the two. The punishment is above it, revenge is below. Nothing so big or so small fits him. It must not punish "to take revenge"; must correct to improve ".

.

In today's disastrous visible Church, where God has now been changed into something else, between reigning do-gooders and mercy bordering on the diabolical, there has been a strong refusal to use terms such as "punishment" and "God's punishment". Denying these two elements is equivalent to denying the very concept of God's mercy, given that - as Giovanni Cavalcoli explained a few years ago, o.p - "God chastises and uses mercy" [cf. WHO e WHO]. Indeed, it is in the punishment and punishment inflicted on Cain that the whole of humanity corrupted by sin is enclosed and marked in its own way, but at the same time it also contains the great mercy of God, both for the first fratricide and for all of us. Together with mercy, God has also manifested profound guardianship, all aimed at the recovery of man, of Cain and of all of us, this precisely because "God chastises and uses mercy".

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, stampa vintage

During the twentieth century, the cruel evil of man has manifested itself to such an extent that by reaction, many more or less enlightened masters of equally more or less enlightened currents of thought, have begun to seek and give answers that deny - or attempt to deny -, not only the evil and cruel nature manifested by man, but may the cruel and wicked man take pleasure in hurting others. In aid of these more or less enlightened masters of equally more or less enlightened currents of thought, many new pseudo-sciences have run, ranging from sociologisms to the various currents of psychoanalysis and which always reach a sad result: explain and justify the cruel and intrinsically evil act. The childbirth mind of these various currents is Jean Jacques Rousseau, according to which man is not born evil or wicked, but it becomes so because of institutions and society. This therefore makes it necessary to shift attention from both the wicked and his acts of cruel wickedness, to look for causes and faults elsewhere. Here then is that today, almost half a century after the maximum development of certain dangerous thoughts, before a multiple-repeat offender, prosecutors and judges called upon to issue the sentence, they are careful not to speak of a natural or innate attitude to crime. Indeed, if nowadays a thief is caught with two accomplices in the middle of the night inside a house by the owner who regularly holds a firearm, while his wife and children sleep; if he, fearing the dangerous consequences, he defends himself by firing, the feel-good public opinion led by politically correct journalism will sigh: "Poor thief!». And once this spiral is triggered, it will be very difficult to explain to those who believe in the "potentially good" and "basically good" man, that several times, during these thefts, gangs of criminals beat her husband to death, then they delighted - as "fundamentally good" -, to rape the mother in front of the children. Naturally, it will then be up to the best of socio-political scientists to explain to their children that the man is evil, cruel and deliberately irrecoverable - since it is closed to any form of human recovery -, does not exist.

.

These distortions of reality which then generate distortions of thought, they arise from the rejection of that mystery called original sin to which today, within the Catholic Church itself, many theologians tend to confer the rank of allegory, confusing the story with the fact, given that the Genesis account is allegorical, not what it contains, that is original sin, that, I go back to repeat, it was a fact of such devastating scope to be transmitted to all subsequent humanity - which obviously is not guilty of this sin committed -, a corrupt nature. In truth, the man naturally good and devoid of malice, it existed and how, but originally, before our ancestors committed an act of such gravity as to compromise the purity and the very nature of that man created in the image and likeness of the living God.

Mohammed, stampa vintage

From the concept of a fundamentally good man which as such is not born evil or wicked, but which becomes so because of institutions and society, that is to say through the fault of others, the next step is the wrong and not a little destructive idea of ​​... you have to try to look at the positive that exists in any man, to see the good, to bring out the positive elements, to look for what is valid even in error and then highlight it. Well, I must honestly say that when it is not a person who makes speeches of this kind son of flowers proud of his atheism, surreal pacifist, convinced vegetarian and radical ecologist, but people of great preparation and high cultural, philosophical and theological stature, I'm starting to get really scared, especially if we then analyze what the concept of "fundamentally good" that is in everyone has led us, followed by the wicked desire to try to bring out the good even from very harmful people, or by clearly heretical thoughts. So let's start from the top and then descend downwards: the "basically good", recently led the reigning Pontiff to define Islam as a religion of peace [cf. Padre Samir Khalil Samir, S.J, WHO], unaware that this vaunted religion of peace contains within itself, at its own structural level, all those elements of violence and hatred manifested not from today, but always, starting with Mohammed, who is not a prophet, much less a great prophet, but a false prophet. Before these claims, which should be theologically obvious, here are the defenders of the "fundamentally good" who justify affirming: "We must seek what unites us and not what divides us". Having said that, however, it should be explained: a me, Priest of Christ God, the tutor of the one, only and true Priesthood, who has given us one and only true Gospel of salvation, what should unite me with propagators of lies born of a false prophet? But above all I would like to know what is good about a series of lies like those enunciated by Muhammad. Faced with these objections, the champions of the "fundamentally good" do not hesitate to reply: "The good thing is that Muslims recognize the figure of Jesus Christ". And in the face of this affirmation I have repeatedly replied: "Muslims recognize Jesus Christ as a minor prophet who preceded the last great prophet who would be Muhammad, who has perfected what was imperfect and wrong in the proclamation of Jesus Christ. Is this, for me who believe in Jesus Christ as the Word of God incarnate, as God made man, as an uncreated begotten of the same substance as the Father, it is not a assemblage point, but a blasphemy. And since when, the blasphemies, they constitute points of union? Perhaps since it was decided to lay them as the basis for interreligious dialogue?».

.

Martin Lutero, stampa vintage

From the false prophet Muhammad, we can go directly to Martin Luther, on which, always the reigning Pontiff, he said everything and more, as if the Council of Trent had never written certain canons; and if he really wrote them, someone seems to have decided to motu proprio which are no longer valid, if not with a clear papal document, with a confused pastoral practice. And in those months in which the poor visible Church decided to actively participate in the celebrations of the false Lutheran reform - and I say false because the heresiarch Luther did not make any reforms but originated a dramatic schism -, they heard, also from the same Chair of Peter, aberrant sentences: Luther "animated by good intentions", Luther referred to as "reformer", to follow with his schism indicated as "reform" even in an official commemorative stamp issued by the Vatican Post Office on the occasion of the five hundred years of his schism [cf. WHO]. Let's not talk about the number two of the Italian Episcopal Conference, S. AND. Mons. Nunzio Galantine, who at a conference promoted at the Pontifical Lateran University - which incidentally is the University of the Roman Pontiff - indicated with disconcerting shamelessness this Teutonic heresiarch as … "A gift of the Holy Spirit" (!?) [cf. My previous article, WHO].

.

St. Margaret of Cortona, protector of repentant prostitutes, Zeri collection

So let's try to clarify things to all the beautiful souls, starting above all with the more educated ones who truly believe in these dangerous theories and act for an equally dangerous consequence, for example, inviting us to look for the good and to highlight what is good, unaware that there is nothing true in the false and, if there is a glimmer of truth, it is only because the Devil makes use of it to affirm and spread the false after having confused with his own of weapons of deterrence the wise fools. There is nothing positive in blasphemy, there is always and only insult to God. There is nothing good in heresy, there is only outrage to the truth, even if today heresy is no longer called such and even if for half a century we have insisted on looking in it for what according to some enlightened minds should be good for us. In the schism, which is the most serious form of fracture of ecclesial communion, there is no need to go looking for what unites us, why seek unity in the desired division, maintained e, as such, considered right, is tantamount to going to seek virginity in whores, who individually can also be women capable of embodying in themselves much more tenderness and sensitivity than many ladies of high society, but that in any case they will always remain whores, at least until when, if anything, through the intercession of Santa Margherita da Cortona, protector of repentant prostitutes [cf. WHO], they will not have converted by choosing to completely change their lives. Unfortunately, in the merciful and good-natured Church, we do not limit ourselves to affirming that a single whore can belong to those chosen souls who, as Christ warns us, "precede you into the Kingdom of Heaven" [cf. Mt 21, 28-32]; in today's visible Church, where people more understanding and more merciful than Christ himself swarm, by now it has in fact come to affirm, if not directly through exotic pastoral practices, than in whore, that is, in prostitution, there are good and positive elements to be grasped and valued, if anything, even adding below that the consecrated virgins who mold in religious houses are instead sour spinsters, tending towards Pelagianism, to legalism and so on to follow …

The Supreme Pontiff Pius VII arrested and deported by Napoleon first to Savona and then to Fontainebleau, stampa vintage

The "basically good", seeing the good, seeking union at all costs and whatever it costs, together with dialogue with those who are proud of their mistakes and indomitable spreaders of the same within the Church, it is one of the biggest pitfalls that is corroding us internally. And if anyone dares to indicate evil as evil, heresy as heresy, the schism as a schism, sin as sin, serious moral disorders as serious moral disorders, you run the risk of being called a legalist, of the Pharisee, of the Pelagian, sad christian, of the Christian bat ... but above all of being given by the person without that unspecified mercy today in great vogue.

.

The criterion of "basically good", of "looking for the good" together with "what unites us and not what divides us", if it is valid it must be applied to everything and everyone. It is therefore true that Napoleon waged war across Europe, who dared to raise his hands on the Supreme Pontiff Pius VII, capturing him and deporting him to Fontainebleau, certain and sure that he would wipe the Church off the face of the earth, But, apart from these things, we who know how Bonaparte was fundamentally good? But most of all, how many good sides there were in Bonaparte? Why look only at the evil and the negative, instead of looking for all the positive aspects in him and highlighting them?

.

Adolf Hitler with his beloved sheepdog

And perhaps there was a lack of positive implications in Adolf Hitler? Many, making a mistake because they are burdened with prejudices, they only think of Hitler as being responsible for the invasion of Poland that started the Second World War. As soon as Hitler is mentioned, the mind goes to the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jews, ignoring that the Führer was not only this, he was also a very tender man, endowed with a profound sensitivity. He used to show great affection to the children of the members of the S.S., there are film documents that show him affectionate with eyes lit with tenderness. Because, to reduce Hitler only to the one who allowed Doctor Josef Mengele to select about 3.000 children in the storage of Auschwitz-Birkenau, forced to live and die in block number 10 of this concentration camp, from which at the end of the war only two hundred survived? Hitler is not just this, he is also the one who had great concern for his dogs; and all the General Staff of the S.S. saw him cry when his beloved German Shepherd died.

.

Stalin with his daughter Svetlana

We also want to talk about Iosif Stalin? Or someone thinks that Stalin was solely responsible for the deaths of millions of Russians and the deportation of as many moles Gulag? Why omit all that was good and positive about Stalin, who was above all a very loving father? There is an archive image of the 1935 in which he holds Svetlana in his arms, his beloved daughter, with a tenderness that touches the heart; and God only knows how many daughters would like to be held in their arms by such a loving father.

.

The Church has repeatedly condemned Communism. Some continue to do so, perhaps because they are biased and lacking the necessary clarity. It would indeed be better, rather than condemn, seek and take what is good also in Communism, because there are many positive aspects that should be highlighted and followed up.

.

the fall of Lucifer, stampa vintage

The truth is unfortunately it begins by focusing on what unites in good and not on what divides in evil, we continue looking for what is good in man in every way, without anyone - if not a few - noticing that the evil protected by goodness and mercy is destroying us. The problem that afflicts the Church today and from which it sometimes seems impossible to get out, so much so hard to undermine some mechanisms, is that good becomes evil and evil becomes good, virtue becomes a vice to be driven out and vice a virtue to be welcomed and protected well within us. And this great reversal is the work of the great inverter: the Devil, He even came to make use of an unspecified mercy, in whose name today, the pastors taken to accept everything that is not Catholic, they caress the wolves and beat the sheep in their fold, calling them sad, Pelagian sheep who idolize the rigor of doctrine, or worse, they invoke the application of ecclesiastical laws, today supplanted in the name of “no to legalism!”, so that the certainty of canonical laws and their correct application were replaced by that free will humoral which has always been the source of every worst injustice.

A memorable letter from the Pope to the Bishops of Chile, worthwhile for it to be called "the great Francesco", how great was Peter on the Via del 'Quo vadis, Dominated?»

/5 Comments/in /by

MEMORABLE ONE LETTER OF THE HOLY FATHER TO THE BISHOPS OF CHILE, DESERVING FOR IT TO BE CALLED "THE GREAT FRANCESCO ', HOW GREAT WAS PETER ON THE WAY OF "WHITHER GOEST THOU, DOMINATED ?»

.

Regarding the story of child abuse cases occurred in Chile, the Pope wrote to the bishops of that country: "As far as I'm concerned, I acknowledge, and I want you to send him faithfully, who have committed serious errors of judgment and perception of the situation, in particular for lack of truthful and balanced information. As of now I apologize to everyone I hurt and I hope I can do personally, in the next weeks, in the meetings I will have with representatives of the interviewees'.

TEXT OF LETTER OF POPE FRANCIS I

.

.

The Supreme Pontiff Francis I on the chair of the Bishop of Rome

Often holiness, or no holiness, when studying the heroic virtues of a candidate for beatification is hidden in small things; I think I can say with some’ of modest experience, since I work on the causes of the saints. It is in fact behind the little things, seemingly insignificant, hiding the greater good, namely the sanctity, or the great evil, ie the Demon.

.

During Holy Week which it preceded a few days before the Easter Sunday, Chronicles from the Holy Gospels have heard the story of Peter's denial [cf. MC 14, 66-72], and we have heard resound the dramatic sentence: «And all the disciples, They left him and fled " [cf. Mt 26, 56].

.

The Blessed Apostle Peter He was also to escape a second time, in one's old age, this time in Rome, there it tells the wonderful story known as the Quo vadis? This episode, contained in Acts of Peter, He tells of the Blessed Apostle on the escape road from Rome, in an attempt to escape the persecutions of Nero. On the way of escape, He would meet in a vision the Lord Christ. According to this tale Peter asked Jesus the question: «Dominated, quo vadis ?» ["Man, where are you going?»]. The Lord Jesus answered: «I go to Rome to be crucified, » ["I come to Rome to crucify me again ']. At that point Peter realized that he could not run again, but he had to turn back, to face martyrdom.

.

For several centuries, the Popes They had among their various clothing of shoes red vermilion, the significance of which was deep and precise, with all due respect to certain illiterate de The Republic who wrote triumphantly: "The successor of Benedict XVI also waives the Prada shoes» (!?).

.

Prada … Are we joking? Or as is wont to say better: possible that the ignorance of those who presume to know do not have their own limits, men who never sense of human decency!

.

Those shoes redheads, which then he was actually closed the slippers, They accounted for Peter's martyrdom, retreating on the road Quo vadis, He went to his martyrdom, dragged in chains to the Vatican Hill where he arrived with bleeding feet, to finally be crucified. E, come to the gallows, not feeling worthy to rise to execution in the same position of the Word of God who died and rose, He asked to be crucified upside down. Like this, at the end of his life, heroism that led him to accept the grace of martyrdom, also it joins the supreme virtue of humility.

.

From the seemingly small things is therefore also recognizes the Pope Francis I, who has publicly admitted that he had wrong in assessing the painful cases of pedophilia that have rocked the Catholic Church in Chile, until reaching to assert :

.

"As far as I'm concerned, I acknowledge, and I want you to send him faithfully, who have committed serious errors of judgment and perception of the situation, in particular for lack of truthful and balanced information. As of now I apologize to everyone I hurt and I hope I can do personally, in the next weeks, in the meetings I will have with representatives of the interviewees' [please read the full text of the letter, WHO]

.

From the history of the Church one should take everything, not only what matters to exalt man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, or to bring down the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio in a merciless way. Therefore I wonder and wonder: certain particularly careful historians, but also rightly critical of this pontificate which deserves its fair share of criticism, perhaps they intend to present Urbi et Orbi also the detailed list of the Supreme Pontiffs who have publicly admitted having committed a serious error? Because to want to be honest and realistic, should be told how many faithful servants which, although totally innocent were sacrificed so that would fall upon them the king's faults, that as the King can do no wrong, May! And the list of these innocents sacrificed the public pillory, it would be a long list what the Autostrada del Sole, on the contrary, instead, King of the list in error, exists?

.

For instance: the Holy Pontiff John Paul II has repeatedly admitted that “the Church was wrong”, He also asked several times sorry, even when certain apology was not necessary and appropriate. That being said I wonder and wonder: perhaps it appears to someone that he, in twenty-six long years of pontificate, has publicly stated only once, for example concerning the shameful case of the founder of the Legionaries of Christ: «… I made serious errors in assessing and perceiving the situation, in particular due to the lack of truthful and balanced information "? I am not aware of it. But, to the records, it turns out that he claimed that the Church was wrong, asking for forgiveness for his mistakes too, both when it was appropriate and when it was not appropriate. But now pay attention: the Church was wrong, but he was not wrong, because not only the King is never wrong, but if he is really wrong, then someone else's head is sacrificed in order to blame poor third parties, the shame and anger of the people. And pay attention to the fact that we are talking about saints, who blessing God are and remain models of heroic virtue, despite never having been, nor can they ever be, models of perfection.

.

I invite you to meditate on this letter from the Supreme Pontiff Francis, who has done something great with it, especially if we consider that to induce a Jesuit and an Argentine to admit that they were wrong, it is certainly not the simplest thing in the world. All the more reason I tell you: in many other things the Supreme Pontiff may have been induced by third parties, or by real criminals who surround him and try to circumvent him, to throw themselves into unhappy and wrong expressions, but nobody, to a Jesuit and an Argentine, it can convince him to publicly admit that he was wrong. Therefore, this laudable act of humility, it is all the choice of the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, to be ascribed as such to his total honor and merit.

.

This makes him, for the case in question, a great authentic; much greater in this than many of his Supreme Predecessors, also included Blessed and Holy Pontiffs, who recognized all historical errors before the world, real or presumed, of the visible Church, however, they never admitted their own mistakes in any way; and when they have made serious mistakes, sometimes even coarse, they have always let the blame fall on the innocent, and today they are venerated Blessed and Saints. And, they asked forgiveness for true or alleged errors committed by the visible Church centuries earlier, But, while under their eyes an immense havoc was done to numerous human lives of young people, many of which destined to remain marked for life - again in reference to the unprecedented discourse of the Legionaries of Christ -, their silence and their indifference was total, up to verging on real cynicism. When then in their beatification and canonization processes serious and pertinent questions were raised about certain of their errors, the requesting answers were often silenced and the speech closed with the peremptory sentence: «The Supreme Pontiff was deceived!». The problem, Unfortunately, however, it has not been resolved, why to be, this statement should have been followed by very detailed explanations: by whom he was deceived, When, how and for what purposes. E, said this, perhaps it is good not to go further, because when the emotionality and the ephemeral sentimentality of the present moment and of the "Saint immediately!They will have gone out, the story will risk being very severe with certain figures, rather … terribly severe, and at that point, it will not be possible to put a patch on it in any way, because it was put there first.

.

Amen!

Ms. Monica Bellucci

I called this morning Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo to vent the best of his spirit Tuscan-Roman:

"Good day dear brother! You who are a pious Dominican seventy-six, not read the erotic prints that comes every day for subscription to your convent?».

I was speechless and then I reply:

"But tell me ', the morning, in the coffee, you you put sugar or hallucinogenic drugs?».

He replies:

"Nah, I was days and days in your monastery and saw that you have a famous erotic magazine that will come to pass. Of course, I saw him with my own eyes! If he were alive that pious man of God to Cornelio Fabro would give me a thousand times right, porn-on nature of that paper which is a whole swarm Porn-theologians " [cf. WHO].

But I'd argue:

"And you that you are a priest just as pious, which category of porn-theologians'd be alluding?».

No sooner said than done:

"Ah, I I know that pio’ the 'Davero, I refer to those who do piano perculo. But they know that nun pianoperculo, his flaws’ convinced of them pii, and sti ... c.! ».

Now, knowing how much the Father Ariel has fun with paradoxes, often, if not almost always, absurd-grotesque, I try to give him rope and wonder:

"And what would this erotic newspaper that you say would arrive at my convent at the expense of my Order, written by people PIA that, as always as you say, this pijaperculo ?».

He replies:

«Play Boy futurity». It makes a mental and between me translate: then … Play Boy means literally play boy ... futurity It means future, occur …

To which I ask:

"But who happened to have it with Future?».

he responds:

«Oh, yes! The newspaper published by the Italian Episcopal Conference ».

Ms. Monica Bellucci

well, that the Father Ariel, joking in private pull out of colorful phrase books, this we know his intimate, But, that those of Future, as he says, ce pijne perculo, we must admit that, unfortunately, it is a fact. He understood what was intended his cabal say:

"Now I go to the reading room reading».

Readily however, stop me:

"Wait up, I read before going to reveal to you first thing: know that I am in love with Monica, because in fact, Monica and I are lovers. It was right that you knew first ».

I I fall like a pear and answer:

"I see, Santa Monica, mother of St. Augustine, It is an interesting model and heroic virtues. Now, I can go to the reading room to see this blessed newspaper?».

And again he says:

"No. Why you did not understand anything. And you did not understand because you are an element destined to revolutionize the whole mystery of revelation, indeed, in addition to the Word of God and the Blessed Virgin Mary, I have to acknowledge that you are the third born without the stain of original sin ... ".

Then I am silent, because I understand that it is preparing to really shoot big, in fact continues:

"I ... I was born with original sin and then with all the trimmings, I did not think at all that Santa Monica Woman, mother of Aurelio Thagaste, then Augustine, I thought of Monica Bellucci ».

Then I try to find their way and wonder:

"Monica Bellucci .. and who is it?».

If I had ever said! Here Sharing:

"Like I just said: you were born without original sin, for because of you ought to be reviewed and then re-write whole chapters of theology, Do you understand?».

While he rants increasingly amused, I hasten to type on the search engine google as Monica Bellucci, and here spuntarmi just outside the picture of a very beautiful woman. I resume the thread and I say:

"What can I say: congratulations, It is really a very beautiful woman that Monica Bellucci, as I did not know you understand ".

And once again, the good Father Ariel:

Ms. Monica Bellucci

"Good. Now tell me - always assuming that you were born with original sin like me -, who t'innamoreresti, the holy Father, Eugenio Scalfari or Monica Bellucci? I'm in love with Monica Bellucci, as she was in love with me: we are two lovers. Therefore, if for example Monica told me that "celibacy and chastity are a big nonsense, to me it's okay, not the would correct. And if in fact Monica believed that I, as she, I think that celibacy and chastity are hogwash, fine for me so well, I not would correct. Why be friends is not to proselytize, but finding common spaces ''.

.

That brings the charming but also curious in the reading room of the convent, and I read in disbelief, row after row, Article poor Don Mauro Leonardi entitled: "Because friendship is an interview» [cf. WHO], where he says absurdly echoes and significance of the recent meeting between the Pope and Scalfari, in which Scalfari reported that the Pope would have denied the existence of hell and said the final disappearance of evil souls, words that seem to somehow be refuted by a later statement from the Vatican press room. Apart from the fact that Hell is a truth of faith, the Holy Father on other occasions reminded us of this truth. The Vatican correspondent Andrea Tornielli has taken care to make a summary of Vatican Insider remembering some of the many references made to that effect by the Pope in Hell ["The words of Francesco about Hell, eternal abyss of loneliness ", see article WHO].

.

In this short article Leonardi climbs on the mirrors, It does indeed bring us by the nose - or how would the Father Ariel: vo’ pijacce perculo ―, boldly to support a thesis absolutely indefensible, namely that there would be between the Pope and high Scalfari, intima, Free and free friendship, the presence of the Holy Spirit, a real love.

.

Let us now point by point.

.

"Scalfari - says Leonardi - is in love with Papa Francesco". And crush his hand on this adjective, here already in itself questionable taste, comparing 'Jorge Mario and Eugenio "to" two lovers ". But then, it revolting, It is the brazenness with which Leonardi speaks of "falling in love" - ​​meaning even appropriately the sense of this word -, when it is under the eyes of all the disgrace longstanding Scalfari behavior towards the Holy Father, with his usual dishonest attempt to exploit it to demolish the church and destroy Christianity. But even more embittered wonder and naivete or neglect of the reigning Pope in letting exploit in this vain friendship Scalfari.

.

Ms. Monica Bellucci

Starting from the obvious observation that friendship is not an interview, Leonardi, perhaps embarrassed about the problem of how to interpret plausibly the disturbing tale of Scalfari, tries to avoid the obstacle by diverting the attention of the reader from the statements Scalfari, to the fact "touching," the friendship between the Pope and Scalfari, that it is "a friendship that concerns only the two of them".

.

But he does not notice, poor Leonardi, he put a patch that is worse than the hole, because now the savvy reader asks two questions. Before: if it comes to a relationship to two, intimate and private, why then Scalfari numbskull friend clings to his stories about the Pope? Second: what kind of friendship would, that of the Pope with Scalfari, which causes so much trouble for the Pope?

Leonardi still strives to give the incident some noble justification, presenting it as "free report and high». In what would be the elevation of this report? Leonardi stages even the Holy Spirit: "The Pope speaks with Scalfari how does the Holy Spirit: Pope speaks and his friend Scalfari him in his own language, with its codes ». that my, poor Leonardi, truly exchanges pneumatology with car tires, forgetting and not taking any account of the fact that an interview in which indulges heresy, however, it does not seem to be particularly high.

.

Also where it would be the "freedom" of this friendship? Christ teaches us that freedom is founded on truth. Which means, by contrast, that where there is the misunderstanding, the scam, the lie, human respect and unfairness there can be no friendship. And I do not pay adds Leonardi: "And the Pope's okay, does not correct him. If Eugene believes that Jorge Mario think like him that hell does not exist, Jorge Mario goes well, does not correct him. Why be friends is not to proselytize, but finding common spaces'.

.

Now I understand why the Father Ariel, loving and being loved by Monica Bellucci, applying the same principle not at all belies, if this beautiful woman tells him that celibacy and chastity are great nonsense.

.

But I wonder: that friendship is one that does not correct the error's? And especially in a field as sensitive as imported and the existence of Hell? The correct the erring friend, Is it not love? It is not friendship? Moreover, True friendship is by Francesco allow Scalfari to think that he, Francesco, with Scalfari considers that Hell does not exist, when Francis Catholic instead believes the existence of hell truths of faith, necessary to his eternal salvation?

.

It is clear that friendship It is a "find common spaces" is a "seek unity», knowing accept inevitable "distortion and contamination" or misinterpretations. But it is also clear that when that happens, be remedied. And it is still clear that these common areas and this unit, to characterize a true and healthy friendship, They can not be based on false doctrines, such as denial of the existence of hell, but they must be based on truth, ie on his statement.

.

Been verified then this unfortunate circumstance, This "distortion" or "contamination", to use the expression of Leonardi, for which Scalfari gets the idea that the Pope does not believe in Hell, and the Pope realizes - to say Leonardi - the heresy, but left without flinching that Scalfari conceive this idea blasphemous ... Well I wonder: how do Leonardi does praise the friendship between Francis and Eugenio, comparing it with that which runs between lovers - such as between the Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo and Monica Bellucci - jackets "to lovers seem to realize that they have the heart is the exact tracing of what is in their hearts those who have set before us"? In short, this Priest, incardinated in the Prelature of 'The Work of God, inside which they never lacked good priests and theologians talented - just think about the quality of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross -, It does not make their own that the mysteries of faith and theology are not poetry, sentimentality and emotionality? It seems, the good Leonardi, that in a case like this friendship needs to be purified and freed of "distortions and defilements" or misinterpretations? And it did not think that the two "friends" have done nothing to remedy these "distortions and defilements" or misinterpretations? So, friends who are?

.

The statement released of the Press Office of the Holy See [cf. WHO], It makes it clear enough that the Pope did not deny the existence of Hell? He reveals that he lied Scalfari? The Pope has nothing to say to the modernists and atheists who glorify him all over the world a toast to the Pope, that finally, after two thousand years of so-called theological terrorism, He had the honesty to accept the modern biblical exegesis, such as that of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, saying that there is no hell? but yet, with everything, you better believe it was Scalfari to lie in reporting what the Pope said, than to believe that the Pope might have lied in faith. However, we wonder: because the Pope, which certainly does not lack the word, He has not personally made clear what Scalfari told about the existence of hell? [see our previous articles WHO e WHO].

.

What if, as claimed by Leonardi, "Scalfari is in love with Papa Francesco", would be in this horrible cheating "the free friendship, free, without ulterior motives ", between Scalfari and the Pope? That, as Leonardi says, "Troubles us because of the freedom it implies," or troubles us rather, I ask myself, for murky and dirty cunning manifesting? But he does not notice the good Leonardi, Barker fools and lawyer who is in bad faith, the second weekend of Scalfari to make fun of the Pope and the Catholic faith itself? Is it true friend true friend is a mocker and what it allows to be mocked?

.

Where then it would be the vaunted "freedom"? It is to say blasphemy in the face to the Pope? And the "friendship" with which Scalfari increases sales Republic by means of lies sacrilegious slandering his friend Jorge Mario, It would be a "free friendship"?

.

Leonardi he realizes what he's saying or throws out words like when you empty the bag of bingo, not to mention the garbage? Her words, to judge them with kindness, make me think the famous manifesto of the Futurist Marinetti Words in Freedom, only the good Marinetti did not mean to blaspheme, but only to poetry.

.

Leonardi would also have us believe It implied that this supposed "freedom" would be "the true reason of the scandal of some characters catholically correct», as if it were the pharisaical scandal of some backwater rod, and you do not notice, the poor fool, that this terrible accident has moved to anger the whole Church. And when I say I mean the Church Catholics faithful to the Petrine Magisterium, not the modernists who believe in hell as I could not believe the werewolf, or how can I believe the fact that the Master General of the Dominican Order has fled to the Caribbean with Gina Lollobrigida dressed as fairy turchina, while Pinocchio was crying in despair because before leaving, the fairy, She had turned him into Walter Kasper. In short: Leonardi confuses freedom of the children of God with freedom of irresponsible.

.

Another huge nonsense as it says Leonardi on "friendship" Scalfari-Pope is as follows: "The friendship between Scalfari and the Pope raises criticisms and anxieties because it is non-partisan. It is secular and is not Catholic. You just friendship ". As if Christian friendship that supposedly Pope, as a believer, has to Scalfari, It should be an attitude of "part" or biased.

.

That friendship is one that offends the faith? It might not offend more the nobility of true friendship, while there is no doubt that the friendship atheist Scalfari will be a far cry from the heart that opening, that only faith in God assures the human soul.

.

Ms. Monica Bellucci

It is also to proselytize, which it is a bad way to proclaim the Gospel. But among avoid proselytism and leave quietly that his friend Scalfari deny the existence of hell - if it is true what tells Leonardi -, without making the slightest objection, it would not be a sure sign of genuine friendship from the Pope, but simply petty human respect, to avoid upsetting the other person, although we believe that Pope Francis did not wish to put on that occasion into play his Petrine ministry.

.

Finally, I would ask all'arguto Don Mauro Leonardi: What kind of friendship is this between the Pope and Scalfari, that every time you meet, Scalfari then makes a report of the meeting muddying the papal dignity and forcing the Holy See to deny, while he, gloating and moved by the friendship that binds him to the Pope, It gives rope to the modernists and the enemies of the Church, making everyone laugh atheists in the world? And all this just a few weeks away from the solemn papal condemnation of fake-news !

.

And another question I am asking myself the, along with all Catholics and men of good sense: why the Pope lends itself to such a dirty trick? That caution is his to insist in meeting this character, which does not seek nothing more than to destroy the Christian faith and to blaspheme the name of God?

.

At least, Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, He is a man with all the weaknesses and temptations that can attack a man, She is in love and is loved by Monica Bellucci. And from their love were never launched in the international press of the blatant heresies then attributed to the Supreme Pontiff. Because of this, that between the Father Ariel and beautiful Monica, it is a love in which if you want you could argue, saw the ecclesiastical state of this priest enamored he has chosen and vowed to remain celibate and chaste, but it sure is not a "falling in love" as dangerous as the one between the reigning pope and Eugenio Scalfari.
