THE SINGER SUGAR WAS RIGHT THAT IN 1987 SINGING "ONLY A HEALTHY AND AWARENESS LIBIDINE SAVES THE YOUNG MAN FROM STRESS AND CATHOLIC ACTION". SOME TEACHES TO YOUNG PEOPLE OF CATHOLIC ACTION IN CASTEL DI LUCIO CHRISTOLOGY

.

With the typical arrogance of those who do not admit mistakes, but indeed it confirms it, young people have removed this post by replacing it with another in which they confirm the contents of the previous one. And if there is anything worse than committing understandable, sometimes inevitable and above all forgivable human errors, it is the obstinacy to support and confirm the error. What this leads us to the greatest and most serious of all deadly sins: the Superbia.

After the delusional ones and farcical propaganda approaches of starred VIPs in favor of the Scalfarotto-Zan bill, that following an interview made during the program Straight and Reverse the 22 April showed all their crass ignorance about the specifics and practical consequences of the bill, timidly they make their appearance on the scene of the Catholic correct i Catholic Boys of "who am I to judge". That's what happens, for less than twenty-four hours, in Castel di Lucio (Messina) in the Diocese of Patti, where seventeen young people from Catholic Action post a photo on their Facebook page in which they are portrayed with their hands stretched out in support of the law against transomophobia.

.

The need was felt, vero? So much to ask me: how much we still need to see on other Facebook pages - of the Franciscan Youth, of the various Third Orders, of Agesci and other Catholic realities - similar positions, praising and blessing a law that is clearly contrary to man and which certainly does not help people with a homosexual orientation?

.

It is necessary to reiterate, once and for all, that the manifestation of thought is free. Just as the decision to adhere to Catholic Christianity and to try to remain within it with a coherence of faith that includes above all obedience to the dogma and provisions of the Church in matters of morals and customs remains free., as recently reaffirmed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on same-sex unions.

.

It's true, I remain free to think differently from Revelation and the Church but in this case I will have the decency and the intelligence not to define myself as a Catholic Christian and not to take advantage of an ecclesial reality, such as Catholic Action, to advertise my personal and rambling positions of heterodirect thinking. Because if that were the case, the glorious Catholic Action, once a guarantee of catholicity for many faithful, would find herself being downgraded to public vespasian where her young offspring have already started peeing out of the pot, with the sole consequence of spreading not the good scent of Christ but that of urine as happens for any public bathroom. After that, as soon as their post began to circulate, but especially, after our Hypatia Gatta Romana wrote a short ironic article his The Island of Patmos, opened in just over an hour since almost 100.000 Visitors, it happened that, with the typical arrogance of those who do not admit error, but indeed it confirms it, young people have removed this post by replacing it with another in which they confirm the contents of the previous one. And if there is anything worse than committing understandable, sometimes inevitable and above all forgivable human errors, it is the obstinacy to support and confirm the error. What this leads us to the greatest and most serious of all deadly sins: the Superbia.

.

The faithful Catholic is well aware that his thought is enlightened by the grace of Christ who through Baptism and Confirmation was informed by the Holy Spirit so that Christ and the Church do not become the victims of the ideological liberalism that homologates right reason. For this dear children of Castel di Lucio, you have no excuses and even when they praise you - including priests - for your very respectable post, know that they are false praise and liars! Yup, I tell you false and liars on the basis of the same praises that Jesus fled because he was aware of the fact that human malice elects as sovereign whoever satisfies his own belly [cf.. GV 6,15] forgetting the soul in which God dwells.

.

But let's read directly from the official Facebook page of the Catholic Action of Castel di Lucio the comment, currently removed, in support of the propaganda photo of the Scalfarotto-Zan bill:

.

“In the course of his public life, Jesus constantly took the side of those whom society excluded, of the most defenseless and of the “last” of the earth. He openly reproached the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, of those who in their moral precepts wanted to enclose man in sterile laws, preventing man from manifesting himself in his full freedom and in his true essence willed by God. You agree with the example of Christ, the Catholic Action of Castel di Lucio supports the approval of the Zan bill which provides for measures to prevent and combat discrimination and violence for reasons based on sex, on gender, on sexual orientation, on gender identity and disability. Misogyny, homotransphobia and ability are serious forms of sin that go totally against the precepts of the Gospel, and it is our task to take sides so that these events are countered as soon as possible ".

.

So formulated this statement is nothing short of embarrassing, because an average-trained seminarian in the third year of theology would be enough to highlight all the gross errors in both scriptural and moral matters. But let's go into detail:

.

“In the course of his public life, Jesus constantly took the side of those whom society excluded, of the most defenseless and of the “last” of the earth. He openly reproached the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, of those who in their moral precepts wanted to enclose man in sterile laws, preventing man from manifesting himself in his full freedom and in his true essence willed by God ".

.

This is patently false and malicious! Because Christ does not fit into the imagination of the South American revolutionary advocate of Liberation Theology or the Robin Hood who steals from the rich to give to the poor. The closeness of Christ for all men, therefore not only for the poor, it can be understood only by looking at the mystery of the Incarnation. And in a particular way, it is at the moment of his baptism in the Jordan that he - true God and true man - solidarizes and shares man's condition of weakness. He undergoes a baptism of conversion so that man understands that only with man God is it possible to free oneself from sin. We see the same thing on Easter evening when Jesus joins the disciples of Emmaus who, foolish and slow of heart to believe [cf.. LC 24,25], they had not yet fully understood and needed a journey together with the Risen One so that their eyes could see.

For Jesus the last are sinners, just as it was in the case of Matthew the Publican, of Zacchaeus, dell'Adultera, of the Paralytic, of the Canaanite woman, of the Good Thief. Indeed, he came to call not the righteous but sinners, and in the encounter with the sinner he gives an abundance of mercy together with the command not to sin anymore [cf.. GV 5,14; 8-11], the same that the priest confessor pronounces after sacramental absolution.

.

In the relationship with the scribes and the Pharisees it is true that we can read Jesus' open contrast to their hypocritical lifestyle but it is aimed above all at repentance. They too are in a sense called friends. As for Nicodemus, Jesus invites scribes, Pharisees and doctors of the Law to be reborn from above [cf.. GV 3,1-15] so that they can acquire the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and thus fulfill the role of teachers in communion with the will of God.

.

It goes without saying that such an attitude of Jesus does not invalidate the goodness of the Mosaic Law that, although it is insufficient for salvation as the apostle Paul will say in the letter to the Romans, it is not rejected:

.

“Practice and observe everything they tell you, but do not act according to their works, because they say and do not do " [cf.. Mt 23,1-7] […] "You do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish, but to fulfill " [cf.. Mt 5,17].

.

These are homophobic gay, or simply homosexual human beings with common sense?

Jesus knows the Law the A he interprets as the wisest and most refined exegete, rejecting those distorted connotations that try to adapt the Law to human miseries and wills, as is the case with repudiation and adultery:

.

«[…] the hardness of your heart he wrote this standard for you. But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female; for this the man will leave his father and his mother and will unite with his wife and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but only one flesh. So, man does not divide what God has joined " [cf.. MC 10,5-9].

.

The true essence of man, dear children of Catholic Action, it is discovered only in the encounter with God, in conforming through human freedom, my will to God's will not in doing what my belly tells me! But let's go on ...

.

"You agree with the example of Christ, the Catholic Action of Castel di Lucio supports the approval of the Zan bill which provides for measures to prevent and combat discrimination and violence for reasons based on sex, on gender, on sexual orientation, on gender identity and disability.

.

What example can you give in which Christ, throughout the Holy Gospel, approves and supports sin? Or are you going to make members of Christ, limbs of a prostitute? Furthermore…

«Misogyny, homotransphobia and ability are serious forms of sin that go totally against the precepts of the Gospel, and it is our task to take sides so that these events are countered as soon as possible ".

.

Dear boys, I recommend that you attend the Catechism again in preparation for Confirmation, because in that case you would come to discover that the gravest sin is the sin against the Holy Spirit, certainly not misogyny, homotransphobia and ability:

.

«[…] all will be forgiven the children of men, the sins and also all the blasphemies they will say; but whoever has blasphemed the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven forever: is guilty of eternal guilt " [cf.. MC 3,28-29]

.

If you want to take sides, be political activists, but first fight your ignorance which prevents you not only from reading a text and understanding it but which first of all deprives you of that necessary humility that leads you to question your spiritual assistants so that they avoid these miserable and miserable figures before the whole Church of God..
