"CHURCH OPEN» (X episode) - IRRESISTIBLE BRAMA THAT TODAY'S SACRIFICE OF PRIESTS TO DEATH FOR THEIR PERSONAL WHIMS OF OPINION. WHAT IF THAT HAPPENED, THEN WHO WILL RETURN TO CELEBRATE THE MASS FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD AFTER THE EPIDEMIC OF CORONAVIRUS?

.

We offer our readers this valuable new video of our esteemed brother John Zanchi, priest of the Diocese of Arezzo, so that it can also serve as an effective and wise antidote to all those who unfortunately, at this time of extraordinary crisis and emergency, They have nothing better to do than argue, often in harsh and aggressive tone, against decisions taken by our bishops for safety reasons to protect public health: suspend the sacred celebrations and in many cases close the churches. Recall that the Church, during crises and emergencies, It has never been saved by the controversy of those who stand for all time the most faithful among the faithful or to the purest of the pure, but the unit. Someone has written these days that "the bishops are committing suicide the Italian Church". Unfortunately he did not understand anything of the essence of the Catholic faith: the church “if suicidal” attacking the bishops, instead follow them and support them in a moment of so severe test.

John Zanchi

Welcome to X episode Open Church.

The churches, understood as buildings, remain open during the pandemic, well if you do not perform public celebrations and the faithful can not easily attend. In the present situation, Priests are giving proof of great inventiveness to help the faithful also in going to church, as well as possible.

.

Many faithful appreciate the sacrifice made by so many priests to fulfill their ministry, even with severe limitations. Others manifest their discontent, especially for the temporary suspension of the Mass with the people and call for the immediate resumption of public celebrations. In here, we want to say a word that helps to understand the terms of the issue and to avoid counterproductive controversy.

.

In the tragic situation of recent days are at stake two fundamental aspects: one part, the Church must continue his divine mission to serve the salvation of souls, with all the necessary self-denial, without jeopardizing public health and then operating the necessary sacrifices and taking painful limitations in behavior, But without flattening the logic of the world; on the other side, the Church does not even give the most distant impression of abandoning true to yourself, neglecting their spiritual needs and risking to be considered fugitive or, worse, insignificant, as if he had decided not to affirm the primacy of the supernatural. Let's take a step forward …

.

... the authentic moral theology It teaches us that it is not enough to state the broad principles, but must then implement them in a particular situation, by means of a prudent discernment, and then, more it descends from the general principle to a concrete situation, especially perilous, most operating decisions can become all the more difficult to detect. The high moral principle is: "Do good and avoid evil"; but in a tragic emergency situation like this, It is not immediately easy to determine how to implement the good and avoid evil.

.

To those who, bitter about the suspension of Masses with the people, calling for greater courage on the part of bishops and priests, respectfully remember three facts, to keep absolutely present to formulate a practical judgment consistent with the reality of the present situation.

.

First fact: Emergencies are not programmed, suddenly they arrive and are sometimes even exceptional and ever faced by this generation, as it is currently. Even our bishops were surprised by the spread of the epidemic and quickly had to take difficult decisions for the protection of all. To help secure the celebration of Holy Mass with the people it would be necessary to organize a regular service order to ensure at least the entry and exit of the participants (each duly principals of defense against infection), their spacing within the church, the sanitization of the same. All things not easy to achieve and practice management. Considering that often only one priest has to cater to more parishes and churches, even the allegation of rarefare attendance of the faithful increasing the number of Masses to be practicable in Italy.

.

second fact: The toll of victims that the Italian clergy is already paying for a pandemic: while there are plenty of infected bishops and finished in isolation, al 22 March were well 50 priests decimated, most of them fall in the line of ministry. Even the clergy aside for old age is not spared: a Parma, in the house of the Xaverian Missionaries, immediately subjected to strict isolation, They died in solitude 13 priests in 15 days, giungesse without anyone from the outside to assist. If Holy Mass with the people they were regularly celebrated everywhere, the number of deceased priests would certainly be even bigger, then taking into account that the Italian Clergy, due to the high average age of almost 68 year old, It is fully included in the category of older and older, then the people to be protected from further danger of contagion. A similar argument about old age needs to be done about the same faithful who regularly frequent our churches.

.

Third fact: as there are concerns that the medical staff is not decimated by the pandemic and the sick remain without assistance, so you need to worry that the Italian Church is not reduced drastically without more priests for the pastoral care of the faithful. From this point of view, the data are merciless: in Italy the clergy is not only very elderly, but even now numerically small. Let's just one example: Archdiocese of Turin in 1950 there was 1 priest (middle age 43 year old) per 561 baptized; In the 2017 again in Turin there was 1 priest (middle age 68 years and 6 months) per 2065 baptized! After the plague in the sixteenth century it killed most of the Milanese, St. Charles Borromeo had no trouble in parts of the fallen priests to assist lepers; today, Behind our few priests and elders, unfortunately there are not crowds of seminarians ready to replace them. After termination of the emergency, how many of the churches that now they are supposed to keep working unwisely should then be closed, perhaps forever, to a serious lack of priests?

.

Reasoning as well, someone will accuse me of lacking faith in God's power. Ma, apart from that we should not groped the Lord (cf. Lk 4, 12), in the current tragedy the teaching of St. John Paul II should be aware of: that we must combine faith and reason; why should not exclude faith and faith has to accept the service of reason (then it is often common sense).

.

Only in this way it is possible to avoid two opposite extremes: The proponents of the celebration to the bitter end of the Mass with the people likely to commit the sin of fideism; the advocates of indiscriminate closure of churches in danger of committing the sin of rationalism. Faith attests that during the Mass God works already the great miracle of transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ; but God is not obliged simultaneously to preserve the viral contagion individual participants.

.

We conclude by recalling two great principles of theology: against rationalism say: "Who makes what can, God does not deny the grace »; against fideism say: "God does not bind the grace of the Sacraments," and can also donate to out of them, under certain circumstances. The suspension of the Mass with the people is a painful loss for the souls of the faithful; beseech God to grant as soon as possible to his Church the grace and joy to gather again to celebrate the Eucharist and also implore God for the grace to keep our few priests and elders, giving the eternal reward to those fallen victims of duty during the pandemic.

A resent tomorrow for a new installment of Open Church.

Sitting on communist motorcycle Vauro I had a revelation that changed my life and my beliefs: and now I will explain why Jesus Christ never rose from the dead …

SITTING ON MOTORBIKE COMMUNIST Vauro I HAD A SHOCK THAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND MY BELIEFS: AND NOW I EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW JESUS ​​CHRIST HAS NEVER RISEN FROM THE DEAD ...

.

To announce such an event Christ, if it had truly risen, he should announce his resurrection to far more credible people, for example by appearing to the High Priest and the members of the Great Sanhedrin. We are realistic and concrete: if I risorgessi from the dead, I would try to appear Faithful Confaloneri and Pier Silvio Berlusconi, Chiambretti to Peter and Barbara d'Urso, the President of Rai and Bruno Vespa ... certainly not to a former Nigerian prostitute who lives in a suburb of Milan.

Mediaset Studios Cologno Monzese (Milan): drafting of Straight and Reverse, Memory picture

The Island of Patmos yesterday awarded the prize Johannine Golden Eagle Roberto Burioni and Alessandro Cattelan [cf WHO]. Today I am announcing that this Lent marked by epidemic coronavirus, in me something happened that shook my beliefs of faith, coming to acknowledge that Jesus Christ never rose from the dead.

.

The spark that triggered in me this awareness, I was given one of the many scholars who populate the pages of Facebook, that manages to be simultaneously both the International Academy of Sciences is the Supreme Criminal Court established by the people of the wise network.

.

At times, beliefs even more entrenched, end up collapsing before things apparently banal, however, able to trigger a spark from which everything ends up being questioned. It is at that point that, well what one is firmly believed, eventually crumble like a sand castle built on the banks of the incoming tide. AndI have to thank one of the wise men of Facebook, I do not know personally, but I can mention without any violation of privacy, since it came into my public page by writing a comment with your name, name and link to his profile, so it's all the public and anyone may raise questions in this regard. The wise is some Fulgenzio Nicola Di Liberto.

.

But we come to the fact: to announce to my Profile Facebook that in the evening of Thursday, 26 March I participated as almost usual to the episode of the program Straight and Reverse on Network 4, I have included a photo taken in early February in which they captured with three friends: the cartoonist Vauro Senesi, the journalist and radio host Giuseppe Cruciani and one of the young employees of the editorial staff. Not only is this three friends, but three people who enjoy of my highest consideration.

.

It happens, however, that the aforementioned member the International Academy of Sciences, under that my post, the afternoon of 27 March, He wrote this comment: "With these people I would not take even a coffee". This wise commentator perhaps did not imagine that with this short sentence would end up disrupting the life of a priest, as well as small and modest dogmatic theologian and equally modest little history of dogma. Yup, by that phrase as pithy as wise, This commentator has opened my horizon on all the contradictions contained in the Gospels, but above all in the life of Jesus Christ, forcing me to take note of how the Nazarene has been put to the test a bad teacher. It is written in the Gospels and documented by themselves, but unfortunately I, for blindness and stupidity, just I had not ever noticed.

.

Jesus Christ was in this imprudent step to have dangerous relationships and especially inopportune, It is documented by one of the Evangelists who narrates:

.

"As Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples. The Pharisees, saw it, He said to his disciples: "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”» [Mt 9, 10-11].

.

Giuseppe Cruciani and Father Ariel exit from the study of transmission of Mediaset Cologno Monzese (Milan)

Not to justify myself, but I can guarantee that the levels of Jesus Christ I'm not there come. Indeed, when one evening, at the end of the direct of this program, Vauro Senesi, Giuseppe Cruciani and I, We went in front of the citadel of Mediaset Cologno Monzese to eat a pizza in the only place open, the kitchen was closed. So we could just drink something: Vauro her vodka smooth - because a true communist Soviets only drink liquor -, Giuseppe Cruciani took a cheeky beer, while i, I do not drink alcohol "out of service", because the only alcohol I drink is the wine used for the Sacrifice of the Mass, I took a pineapple juice. In any case, I must say to my justification that my act was less serious than that of Jesus Christ, that with certain people did banquets. Empirical evidence shows, I drank it with just a pineapple juice.

.

At what levels Jesus Christ was unwise as demonstrated by the Gospel of St. John telling his meeting and conversation with a Canaanite woman in the water well, the so-called Tale of the Samaritan. Taking apart the serious inappropriateness of this dialogue, because no Jew has good tone He would never have started talking alone with a woman, especially with such a, which at one point Jesus Christ questions:

.

«[…] "Go, call your husband and come here". The woman answered: "I have no husband". Jesus told her: "You said well, I have not husband; for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; What you have said is true "". The woman said: "Man, I see that you are a prophet ' " [GV 4, 16-18].

.

We analyze the gravity of what: Jesus Christ addressed word, alone, at the edges of a well, emerita a slut who after being jumped by a man other, at that time he was living with another man ancòra, which obviously he was not her husband. But I tell: are perhaps people and situations in which a decent man you go to hunt? I bet if you were right the learned scribes and Pharisees of Facebook era, to accuse him to spend time with prostitutes, and sinners varies made.

.

It is said that Jesus Christ, after his death, is risen from the tomb. The mystery of His resurrection is the main foundation of the Christian faith, He is telling the Blessed Apostle Paul stating:

.

«[…] if Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching is in vain and your faith " [The Cor 15, 14].

.

Father Ariel in the Mediaset del Celio studios in Rome next to Vauro's legendary motorcycle with red star and Soviet plate

This I understood after years of priesthood, of theological studies and profession of faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, namely that Christ can not be resurrected. That's why: who announced the alleged resurrection of Jesus Christ? Hear, listen ... a former prostitute! Now you tell me, in a society like that of the Jewish era, where women had no say, where they could not be heard as witnesses in court, where they could be repudiated on the word of her husband and even stoned, if the wife accused of adultery, this alleged Risen uses not only as a woman announcer, but even a former prostitute? I can well imagine that the apostles, called the empty tomb, They responded by not believing this woman and his wives:

.

«E, returned from the tomb, They told all these things to the eleven and to all other. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Mary of James. Even the others with them who told this to the apostles. Those words seemed to them like nonsense and they did not believe in them " [LC 24, 1-11].

.

To announce such an event Christ, if it had truly risen, he should announce his resurrection to far more credible people, for example by appearing to the High Priest and the members of the Great Sanhedrin. We are realistic and concrete: if I risorgessi from the dead, I would try to appear Faithful Confaloneri and Pier Silvio Berlusconi, Chiambretti to Peter and Barbara d'Urso, the President of Rai and Bruno Vespa ... certainly not to a former Nigerian prostitute who lives in a suburb of Milan.

.

high comments academy …

For a sentence written on my page an adept of the international Catholic Academy of Sciences Facebook, who he said that with people like Vauro and Giuseppe Cruciani not even take a coffee, I have acquired knowledge and proof that Jesus Christ never resurrected, because with certain subjects did not just have a coffee, but to do banquets and to have dangerous liaisons, inopportune and imprudent, something I've never done in my life.
