Vatican CITY 11 February 2017, Monastero Mother of the Church: iThe Holy Father Benedict XVI with Cardinal Ernst Simoni and the Florentine presbyter Simone Pifizzi in the sacristy before Holy Mass.

February 11 2013 the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, 265° Successor of the Blessed Apostle Peter, with a formal act formalizes its own declaration of renunciation of the government of the Church. The canon 331 §2 of the Code of Canon Law states:

.

«In the event that the Roman Pontiff renounces his office, it is required for validity that the renunciation be made freely and duly manifested, instead it is not required that someone accept it " [cf.. WHO].

.

Throughout history the resignation of the Roman Pontiff of the Church occurred very rarely, to be precise solo 9 times in two millennia of history. It is a very personal act that concerns the most intimate and unquestionable conscience of the renouncer. Also for this reason the canon specifies: "It is not believed that anyone accepts it".

.

It would be an alteration of the real data omitting to say that Benedict XVI has chosen to make his own free, unquestionable and valid waiver by adopting methods that have left the most distinguished canonists bewildered - S. AND. Mons. Giuseppe Sciacca, the Jesuit Gianfranco Ghirlanda, the Dominican Bruno Esposito ―, we priests and theologians, to follow up with the Catholic faithful. Giving up he would have to go back to his status preceding the election to the sacred throne, farewell il Vescovo Joseph Luigi Ratzinger. Not even a cardinal, the cardinalate being a pure honorary title that the Roman Pontiff loses when he is elected, while the episcopate, which is a sacrament by which the fullness of the apostolic priesthood is transmitted to the consecrated person, it remains indelible for eternity.

.

Benedict XVI, or who for him, has created confusion by adopting a method that we could technically define "extravagant", as the most expert canonists have politely defined it, but also a scholar of the Cardinal's caliber Walter Brandmuller, considered the greatest ecclesiologist and historian of the Church at the present time. In fact, when the name "pope emeritus" came out, we were all blown away. Then, that this gimmick of which at the moment it is not known who was the real creator, was deemed unhappy, there is no proof that nine years later it never crossed anyone's mind to establish the institution of the "pope emeritus" in the body of ecclesiastical laws and to insert it with a special canon in the Code of Canon Law. All this proves this monster he is destined to die with Benedict XVI and never to be exhumed again, especially considering what has caused confusion in many fragile faithful, not to mention the off-balance subjects plunged into the most vulgar conspiracy.

.

the Holy Father Benedict XVI with the Florentine presbyter Simone Pifizzi who exhibits him a volume of art

To better understood we will give as an example two extreme cases that fall within those that some psychiatrist friends of the Biomedical Campus of Rome have indicated and classified as serious psychosis due to the total alteration of the cognitive abilities of characters not adhering to reality, afflicted with severe schizophrenia and hypertrophic narcissism of a violent and destructive type.

.

The first of these two subjects is a Sicilian presbyter who has been supporting ridiculous and absurd fictional theological theses for some years and for this reason it is right not to take seriously: "Benedict XVI was forced by violence to make an act of renunciation and his successor is a heretical and apostate antipope". the “irrefutable evidence” brought by this subject evidently suffering from cerebral disconnection syndrome are the following: "The renouncing pontiff continued to wear white", "To sign with the pontifical initials", but above all because «in the Latin text of his declaration there are several Latin syntax errors that would make the waiver completely invalid ". When I decided to publicly deny it, or to mock him, as it is right to do with those who affirm nonsense to which it is not possible to give any seriousness, i used my page Facebook, avoiding advertising on the de columns The Island of Patmos, magazine visited by millions of readers, considering that our average is approximately 1.800.000 / 2.000.000 visits per month for a total of over twenty million visits per year.

.

Not being able to argue on the merits of the questions raised with scientific theological and juridical rigor as a solemn denial of his foolishness, this gentleman reacted like a squawking duck, accusing me of being jealous of his extraordinary charisma, of which, according to him, I would be lacking, enough to be a candidate - I add - for liver cancer because of the envy that gnaws at me. And so, convinced like all compulsive narcissists that others are mortally wounded if their qualities are questioned by those with intellectual qualities, logical and speculative are lacking, he pointed to me as an ignorant subject in the theological sciences who abuses the title of theologian without being one. Next he pointed to me as a guy picked up on the street by a bishop, made a priest by mistake and today a wandering cleric ... and other amenities that made me laugh, my Bishop - without whose approval I have never moved a step - and all those who know me in both the ecclesiastical and civil fields.

.

Purely rhetorical question: one who shoots lies in bursts, may think of destroying the interlocutor or hurting his "intellectual pride", after this subject has been judged by the Holy Church to such an extent lacking in balance and credibility as to end up first excommunicated then discharged from the clerical state? Let's also admit that I am the worst presbyter in Italy and that in addition to not being a theologian I am half illiterate in the context of Catholic doctrine. Let's take it all for real. But then we must ask ourselves: the church, who suspended a divine? Who declared excommunicated for schism and heresy? In the end, with a measure as rare as it is serious, who is it who has resigned from the clerical state? Me, or this sublime doctor who accuses me of being a wandering cleric who abuses the title of theologian? Because I am in communion with the Bishop who gave me and never revoked the mandate to celebrate the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Holy Mass, to preach and administer confessions, ie to exercise i three gifts priestly: the task of sanctifying (the power to sanctify), the task of teaching (the power to teach), governing office O governor (the power to rule / governing the People of God). Indeed, the the priestly power, they are not acquired with the useless academic papers obtained and today pulled after anyone in decadent and expired ecclesiastical universities, but with priestly consecration. And in the Catholic Church there is no title superior to that deriving from priestly consecration, least of all the title of doctor of sacred theology, through which the gifts of grace of the Holy Spirit have never been conferred and i three gifts.

.

Having clarified these foundations of sacramental dogmatics, fanatics following this brain disconnected should ask themselves: but to this Lord, who has conferred a similar mandate to exercise i three gifts priestly, recognizing him at the same time as an eminent theologian for high merits of heresy and schism? This one, with those who are in communion, who gave him the mandate to exercise the sacred ministry? Because I - pointed out as a wandering cleric -, I am in communion and in obedience to my Bishop. His, with those in communion of obedience? One thing is beyond doubt: to this Lord, the church, the mandate has totally revoked it after having suspended it a divine In the 2017, having notified him of the excommunication automatic for heresy and schism in 2018, until you hit it in the 2022 with the most extreme measure: dismissal from the clerical state. So what is obvious: an excommunicated for heresy and schism to which the Church has revoked the faculty to exercise the sacred priestly ministry and who finally has discharged and expelled from the Catholic clergy, which despite, from the height of his dismissal from the clerical state, dispenses to priests in communion and in obedience to the Church licenses of theologians or non-theologians, is equivalent to the most hilarious and hilarious theater of the burlesque. Or to put it with a realistic example: it is equivalent to the owner of a brothel in Amsterdam who starts to review the chaste virtues of the Poor Clares of the strict observance of the Monastery of Santa Chiara in Assisi.

.

the Holy Father Benedict XVI during the celebration of the Holy Mass in the chapel of the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery

This priest resigned from the clerical state for years he has been addressing the Supreme Pontiff Francis and us priests, guilty, according to him, of being "in communion with the false pope usurper and apostate acolyte of the antichrist", with such ferocious violence and hatred as to make the most antipapist Luther pale. The hysterical duck has come to give birth to such absurdities in front of which we priests and we theologians would laugh for days, if he had not gathered around him a small following of unfortunates - in the etymological sense of the term: outside the grace of God - who in turn have become serial haters active in spreading hatred towards the Supreme Pontiff and "the false anthichristic church", going crazy on social media where they repeat like trained parrots the identical nonsense of their poor disconnected deranged.

.

In support of the "invalid resignation of Benedict XVI" the hysterical duck brings reasons worthy of a comic film of the various grotesque series of the seventies. Given therefore that the resignation of Benedict XVI would be, according to him, invalid, consequently the Successor would be an antipope, with the aggravating circumstance of being an "apostate heretic" who "as a perfect acolyte of the Arian heresy does not believe in the divinity of Christ", as well as guilty of having "demolished the Marian dogmas" and "replaced the cult of the Virgin Mary with that of Pachamama", which moreover he is neither an idol nor a pagan deity, just to clarify. From this it would follow that all of us priests who "celebrate Masses in communion with the false heretical and apostate pope", to say of this sublime theologian we celebrate "Invalid Masses" and administer to the faithful "Invalid Sacraments". Get ready this video you can hear this subject's delusions of hatred with your ears, evaluating what, but above all who we are talking about.

.

In its time several theologians intervened who produced and disseminated videos of denial for the sake of the health of souls. He did it with one of his videos the excellent Dominican theologian Francesco Maria Marino, I did it with my video and other theologians have done so with various writings and articles. He did it with one of his videos disclosure Dorotea Lancellotti, a woman of profound Catholic faith and a talented catechist for four decades. As usual, far from entering into the merits of the theological and juridical issues with which we have blatantly wronged him, the hysterical duck has always reacted with direct attacks on people, uttering colossal lies, giving false news about their lives, on their priesthood and mocking their theological formation. If, therefore, the undersigned has accused me of being a "wandering cleric" who "abuses the title of theologian", to the Dominican Francesco Maria Marino, who, as a learned Thomist theologian, denied it by explaining how seriously he abused the absurd of Aquinas theology, showing not to understand it and to manipulate its texts, instead of replying on the merits, he replied teasingly that when he spoke "he opened and rolled his eyes too much".

.

Following the hysterical duck then a journalist joined us to whom we have already dedicated a solemn denial, that to try to "go down in history" has come to give life to the saga pontifex-fantasy. Here then is Benedict XVI, in addition to having "invalidly renounced under the constraint of strong powers and international Freemasonry", he would even start talking in code. Obviously, the discoverer and translator of the so-called "Benedict Code", he is the scientist in question.

.

These are the levels to which such characters arrive without the pain of human ridicule: if the elderly Benedict XVI blinks his eyelids three times, it is not a natural movement of the face as many might believe, but of a Morse code with which he is speaking while he finds himself a prisoner of those who today govern "the false church of the heretical and apostate antipope". In association with the hysterical duck, this journalist who discovered and interpreter of the cryptic "Benedict Code" also claims the "invalidity of the Holy Masses and of the Sacraments celebrated by us in communion with the false pope". In short: a pair of scientists capable of recalling George & Mildred, famous television series of the eighties.

.

the concelebrants at the Holy Mass with the Holy Father Benedict XVI, on the right Cardinal Ernst Simone, on the left the Florentine presbyter Simone Pifizzi

For reasons of ministry and publishing activity, the editorial confreres and I are in contact with many priests, bishops, members of the Roman Curia. Our brother Simone Pifizzi presbyter of the Archdiocese of Florence, who met Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as a seminarian and was able to spend several days with him when as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith he was a guest at their seminary, he informed us that he had concelebrated with Benedict XVI and the Cardinal Ernest Simon 11 February 2017. During the sacred celebration, made with the Roman Missal of Saint Paul VI, arrived at the point in the canon where the Supreme Pontiff is mentioned, Benedict XVI spoke these clear and precise words:

.

«[…] in the first place, what we offer for your holy Catholic Church: how to make peace, to keep, to unite and govern the whole world: una cum fámulo your Pope our Francisco …»

.

With all the irony more shrewd typical of the Florentines, the confrere assured us that at that point of the Holy Mass there were not two henchmen placed on the side to the right and to the left with their respective revolvers aimed at the temples of Benedict XVI, nor was a drone flying into the chapel above the altar, ready to trigger the deadly command by the strong powers who, after the act of renunciation, have inserted a microchip subcutaneous to the Venerable Pontiff to cause him a cardiac arrest on command as soon as it became excessively uncomfortable. During the Holy Mass, Benedict XVI was calm, free, serene and taken by the sacredness of the Eucharistic celebration.

.

Perhaps it all could have been avoided wearing a black cassock, maintaining the indelible episcopal character and returning to being Bishop Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger. Because for the birth of certain monsters, from the heretical and schismatic priest resigned from the clerical state to the journalist who has been producing stories for two years pontifex-fantasy, we must also thank Benedict XVI, without detracting from his theology, to his teaching and holiness of life. On the other hand, it is he himself who clarifies:

.

«[…] the Twelve Apostles were not perfect men, chosen for their moral and religious irreproachability. They were believers, Yes, full of enthusiasm and zeal, but at the same time marked by their human limitations, sometimes even serious. So, Jesus did not call them because they were already saints, complete, perfect, but in order for it to become, that they might be transformed to turn so the story. Everything as for us " [Brindisi, 15 June 2008, full text].

.

And if we think about it, the Apostles made many and even more serious errors, starting with Peter who combined enough and from which the succession of Roman Pontiffs takes life, the last of which, by legitimate line of succession, is the reigning Pontiff Francis.

.

From the island of Patmos, 24 May 2022

.

The Fathers editors de The Island of Patmos they thank Cardinal Ernst Simoni and their dear and esteemed brother Simone Pifizzi, presbyter of the Archdiocese of Florence for their testimony, aware that since 2013 following are numerous cardinals, bishops and priests who can attest to the same after having participated or concelebrated with the Holy Father Benedict XVI in the chapel of his private residence in the Vatican. Among the numerous of these testimonies, we limited ourselves to taking one as an example among many similar ones.

With “The heart elsewhere” towards a path of obedience to the Father, to be truly disciples of Christ

Homiletics of the Fathers of The Island of Patmos

CON THE HEART ELSEWHERE TOWARDS A PATH OF OBEDIENCE TO THE FATHER, TO TRULY BE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST

Easter time it is time for personal rediscovery and rebirth in faith. A faith that requires love and obedient listening. A bit like in an old film from 2003, The heart elsewhere, in which the young Nello, professor of classical literature, falls in love with Angela, blind from birth. Angela trusts Nello, he knows how to listen to him and if necessary he knows how to obey him. And she does it not because she is blind, but because she loves him. There are so many difficulties that arise in the course of such a difficult and contrasted story, but what maybe, for this, leads to a surprise ending in this film in which love and listening are the heart of the whole story.

.

The Gospel of Blessed John the Evangelist today offers a section of Jesus' long farewell discourse, in which the Lord speaks of these themes. In the first part of this section we read that the center of all the Lord's action is love:

.

«I give you a new commandment: that you love one another. As I loved you, you also must love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples: if you have love for each other "

.

The love of charity that's what Jesus asks: to love God and neighbor above all else. This concretely implies seeking with all one's strength the good of God and neighbor. Therefore, seeking the construction of the civilization of love, first of all, build a personal and community common good. Trying to avoid and avert the injustices that happen in our life, at work, with friends and even with family.

.

From love for God the observance of the ten commandments comes to life, the exercise of the virtues and all the moral teachings of Jesus. Because here the Lord teaches us that Love is listening to a profound word, that of God himself who speaks to our lives to the point of filling them with hope, joy and serenity. So, the new law of love is not the kind of emotional and sentimental love that today seems to be a bit’ what is sought by the current culture and by slogan of television and TV series on platforms online. Jesus asks of us a love that is radically founded in the Trinity, nella nostra fede e nella nostra esistenza. Because salvation sprang from the Trinity, especially in the glorification of Jesus on the cross. The Lord speaks of this glorification at the beginning of the passage:

.

"Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God was glorified in him. If God was glorified in him, God too will glorify him for his part and glorify him immediately ".

.

This glory it begins to materialize in the moment of Judas' betrayal, running away from the last supper, shortly after having received the Eucharist and the Sacred Priestly Order from Christ the Lord. Even in the moment of the greatest betrayal, like that of Judas Iscariot, the Lord teaches us that there is a moment of maximum self-giving to the other. It seems paradoxical, but it is the moment when the extremes meet, all not by chance. Because Jesus decided to love to the end, to the extreme. Therefore also to love Judas who betrays him to the end, without ever repenting. Judas is the one who disobeys the golden rule of love. He doesn't know how to welcome such a strong and totally innovative message and decides to love in his own way. He decides to love the idol, the idea of ​​God he has in mind: the idea of ​​a triumphant God over the Empire.

.

The glory of the Lord it will also be transmitted to us. We will rise again post mortem if we act diametrically opposite to Judas. Learning to obey the Lord.

.

The invitation of the Risen One it still gets so strong today in 2022. The whole community of believers in Christ, all of us, torniamo ad ascoltare in obbedienza filiale le parole che Dio ci ispira e che dice attraverso la Chiesa e i suoi pastori. A questo modo potremo costruire già adesso il regno di Cristo, un regno non costituito da cariche politiche o ruoli di potere, ma fondato esclusivamente sulla cura e sull’attenzione verso il nostro prossimo, in cui vedremo il volto di Gesù che implora il nostro amore.

.

Signore oggi ti chiediamo il dono del tuo Spirito Vivificante, perché siamo testimoni e dei credenti credibili del tuo amore, so that we arouse the yearning to pray to universal love throughout the world.

Amen.

- Video of Catholic Doctrine -

Catechism breakfast with Cappuccino

WE. CATECHISM BREAKFAST WITH CAPPUCCINO - «THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE, THE CONFESSION " (Part Six)

The sad reality is that we are faced with two different trends: or deny sin and say that sin does not exist and that it is a fable invented by the Church to keep people enslaved under its obedience, or the tendency to normalize sin. In fact, if I normalize sin, then it is no longer such, because it will turn into an acceptable element, normal, common or even pleasing, thus becoming something with which I can peacefully coexist.

Let's pick up on that question with whom we broke up last time, which is a bit of the question that children of the first confession ask but also adults who forget about God, who forget their faith and therefore ask the priest, or to people who consider in faith instead: because I have to confess? The sad reality is that we are faced with two different trends: or deny sin and say that sin does not exist and that it is a fable invented by the Church to keep people enslaved under its obedience, or the tendency to normalize sin. In fact, if I normalize sin, then it is no longer such, because it will turn into an acceptable element, normal, common or even pleasing, thus becoming something with which I can peacefully coexist.

And now I'll explain why journalists' onanist narcissism is causing more victims than the war in Ukraine to the point of generating greater destruction

AND NOW I WILL EXPLAIN WHY THE ONANIST NARCISM OF JOURNALISTS MAKES MORE VICTIMS OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE TO GENERATE MORE DESTRUCTIONS

Italy is a country of narcissistic pathogens with a complex of crafty people looking for easy luck, allergic to hard work and sacrifice, who continue to believe that what matters is finding the friend of the right friend to have the road smoothed. A country, our, where the number of those who write is greater than those who buy books and read. And let's not talk about those who don't have time to read because they are engaged in high activities “cultural” and who try to understand something with questions that reveal all the dementia that poisons them.

A few days ago the Editions The Island of Patmos they have published a new book of mine, obviously it is very well written. The text is a precise and lucid analysis of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with critical and ironic points of information mainstream that clouds public opinion, with rare exceptions. It is useless to linger in portraying how good I am, because in my job I am a champion. E, that said, I do not go further, talking about foregone things bores me.

.

For the record I add that I am also humble, because how I recognize my virtues and abilities - which I could not put to use if I ignored them, as taught in the Holy Gospel the Parable of the Talents [cf.. Mt 25, 14-30] ―, in the same way I also recognize my limitations and shortcomings, which I am the first to highlight, then making fun of myself publicly. This is the difference between a Ferrari and a cart, between a truly humble priest and a clerical who whines with a twisted neck «no, I'm not worthy ... I'm not up to par!». But becoming a hyena when you retort: "It's true! And in addition to not being worthy or up to par, with the occasion I remind you that you have not indicated your worst unworthiness and limitations that cause a lot of damage to others too, given the delicate role in which the villains who direct the puppet theater have made you rise. Wait up, now I will list all the reasons for your not being worthy, of your not being up to par ... ". And so you will have made yourself a new enemy of those relentless ones by which I keep myself witty in mind, brilliant in the dialectic, youthful and sporty in the body, because the more attacks they give me the more they revitalize me and make me reflective, sharp and combative. However, we golden eagles are like that, even if the chickens that dig in the hen house do not give peace, without ever forgiving yourself for being what they are not and what they can never be.

.

Selling books in Italy is difficult, ours is a people where fake experts and intellectuals swarm who rigorously presume above all to know, then to write. Full lockdown for Covid-19 even those who could barely write the shopping list had become essayists, but above all novelists. But if we take these people - as I have done several times - and make them talk through the technique with which idiots who do not even realize they are being subjected to an interrogation disguised as dialogue, to the question of how much they study and what were the last literary works they have read, roughly the answer will be this: «Studying… reading? But I don't have time, I'm too busy writing!». If we then go and read their piles of junk, in addition to the lack of writing skills, a total lack of knowledge of the greatest works and the main literary styles will immediately emerge. The sources from which they draw are sites and blogs found on the telematic network, where as many "scientists" abound who think they can deal with history, philosophy, theology, geopolitics, exact sciences and so on, using as a source all the bullshit published on Wikipedia by an army of anonymous failed researchers and old retired professors angry with the entire cosmic universe.

.

Italy is a country of narcissistic pathogens with a complex of cunning looking for easy luck, allergic to hard work and sacrifice, who continue to believe that what matters is finding the friend of the right friend to have the road smoothed. A country, our, where the number of those who write is greater than those who buy books and read. And let's not talk about those who don't have time to read because they are engaged in high activities “cultural”, or who try to understand something with questions that reveal all the dementia that poisons them. To such a man, than on a social he asked me about political Zionism, answered: «On this issue I wrote a book In the 2006, explaining the complex historical phenomenon ". The demented reaffirms, I then turned out to be a tenured teacher in a high school: "Yup, but he could not answer me in a few words, because I don't have time to read ". The thing that I find truly unique is that only one these subjects send some protest emails to the Ecclesiastical Authority to accuse me of being an aggressive vulgar, a shame of the Catholic priesthood guilty of sending them to fuck off. Frankly, if an author who has dedicated five years of intense work and research to the treatment of a very delicate and complex issue, Fuck off someone who expects everything to be explained to him in a few words after candidly declaring that he doesn't have time to read, the sfanculata it should be judged as the minimum wage, not an attack of lese majesty such as to claim my head from the Ecclesiastical Authority, you don't think so?

.

Maybe mine were other times, but I would certainly never have gone to a reception with an academic to ask him to summarize his book in two words and thus introduce me to the exam without having to read it, being busy with other matters. The old professors I had to deal with would never have let me pass the exam, except after learning their thousand-page book by heart, included footnotes.

.

A book to sell and disseminate, as it advertises? Romantics think: journalistic reviews, if anything, after an appeal, of practice and rigor, to the friend of the friend. I will be frank: as for me, I can send a free pack of family-size toilet paper to journalists to help them reduce the heavy consumption costs due to their diarrhea problems, but a book of mine in homage not even to die, because mine are high quality works. Throughout Italy, the journalists to whom I give my books as a gift are only five friends to whom I repeat each time: "Don't feel obligated to do a review".

.

Someone might think that this is an oddity of mine, basically I know many celebrities of Italian journalism, including directors of various national newspapers. there, let's start with the latter: why the editor of a newspaper who writes with his feet, to the point that it does not need to be checked by the proofreader but by an accurate one editing of his writings, it should favor the launch of the book by a much more gifted and cultured author, who writes very well and analyzes the facts with an impartiality unknown to him, held as he is to be accountable to masters, shareholders and various owners, unless they declare themselves truthful and independent from one television program to another, with an ass face more or less comparable to that of a whore who proclaims herself a virgin? It would be as if Fantozzi's daughter afflicted by understandable complexes and then became the mother of a creature more similar to a monkey than to a child, was asked to advertise Monica Bellucci's beauty and to write that her daughter Deva, by the enchantment of nature, she is even more beautiful than the mother herself.

.

I want to reveal something unknown to many: the journalist is the first not to read and not to document himself. With the exception of a few and rare Italian gold pens now reduced to a happy niche world, our journalists are in conditions of embarrassing ignorance, mainly due to the fact that the mass of the public wants bread and circus, blood and confetti. Or maybe you haven't noticed that in the editions on-line some newspapers now highlight some sentences in bold type in the articles, so much are they aware that the webete average or digital illiterate, which make up a frighteningly high percentage of the public, he never reads an article from top to bottom? For this they highlight three or four sentences, so that webeti and digital illiterates have the illusion of having formed an opinion, to then go crazy by a social to the other, more arrogant and aggressive than ever, to give ample proof of when they did not understand a fucking emeritus. The journalist who has acquired a certain notoriety is a narcissist-onanist who does not even read the articles of his other colleagues published on the same page where his article is published. He is too busy liking himself to be able to accept the existence of much better men and above all much more capable than him.

.

Certain newspaper editors that every night you see wandering around the talk show, they have no idea what their newspaper publishes, other than carefully reading the sketch from top to bottom before the finished and approved paper goes to print, imagine! Yet they are called not by chance “responsible directors”, precisely because they are responsible before the Law and the Council of the Order of Journalists for what the various authors publish in their newspaper. The sketches were read with extreme care by Indro Montanelli and Enzo Biagi, often calling the journalist who wrote the piece to ask him for explanations, or corrections and changes, to give him a suggestion or to urge him to continue working well that way. And several of these old editors have come up with good journalists, some have remained so, improving over time, others have ruined themselves by becoming vain narcissists as soon as they come into the limelight.

.

I'm not interested in selling 100 O 10.000 copy but to do my job well and be counted in the circle of the best, of the loyal and consistent, in which for years I have my well-deserved space earned at a high price in 58 years of life. Mine is a work rooted in the present but projected into a future perspective, several of my books published ten or twenty years ago are proof of this, where with precise analyzes, decided and often merciless I anticipated the future. And then things went as I had described them in those works of mine years in advance. And I never took pride in exulting "I said so ... I wrote it ...", if anything, I expressed my most sincere pain and I really suffered for not being wrong, because years later I would have liked to have been able to refute myself and explain that my analysis was completely wrong. This is the point from which we could start a very serious discussion on the great Christian virtue of humility, which has nothing to do with the poison of clerical collotors.

.

This is why I don't send my books as a gift to anyone, if not a few close friends, leaving people free to draw from a safe and honest source, or to continue to roll up between bread and circus, blood and confetti, thinking I have understood everything with the typical unconscious arrogance of those who continue to read the title and perhaps the subtitle, along with two or three sentences highlighted for the mass of webeti and digital illiterates, that thank God they will never be able to constitute the audience of my Readers.

.

Unfortunately Giovanni Boccaccio and Pietro l'Aretino they could not know me because the centuries have separated us. Certainly, from their well-deserved Paradise they appreciate me and cheer me on, not for some balls they wrote about almost eight centuries ago, enclosing their ridiculous images in the extraordinary figure of Friar Cipolla who tried to fuck the poor Boeotians by exhibiting his relics as amazing as they are improbable. Today Frate Cipolla directs one of the main Italian newspapers, then in the evening he participates in talk show, where with unparalleled seriousness he supports the undoubted authenticity of the relic of the pen dropped to the Archangel Gabriel during the Annunciation made to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and to which all those who read only the title and subtitle trust, the most careful two sentences highlighted in bold in the article, so that they can end up fucked up much more than the peasants who populated the Italian countryside of the fourteenth century. Maybe, the man of today, had the sense of self-irony and above all the critical and speculative sense that the man of the Middle Ages had, maybe!

«War and ideological propaganda» is the new explosive book dedicated by Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict

"WAR AND IDEOLOGICAL PROPAGANDA" IS THE NEW EXPLOSIVE BOOK DEDICATED BY THE FATHER ARIEL S. LEVI di GUALDO TO THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN CONFLICT

.

It is acceptable that on our television networks it was granted from evening to evening, to exponents of the Ukrainian people, to urge the Italians to make sacrifices for their unlikely victory over the invading Russian? We realize that this is equivalent to asking a father of a family, however, also in an imperious and arrogant way, to sacrifice his children for the sake of the children of others? And all these people were able to express similar nonsense with the television presenters who let them rant while remaining in religious silence and without any possibility of a realistic and dutiful dispute..

"WAR AND IDEOLOGICAL PROPAGANDA" Introduction to the work

.

In this new book Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo drew on his past legal and geopolitical training, combined with his successor as a theologian and a profound connoisseur of historical subjects. A book that we could define “politically incorrect” as true. Because today, simply talk about what is true and real, it is not the norm but it represents one of the worst attacks on the political correctness of the narrative mainstream.

During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict the news broadcasts partial and partial news to the point of recalling the Bulgarian regime information of the 1950s to the memory of the less young. Most followed talk show of the Rai television networks, Mediaset, La7 and Sky have come to assume such unique propaganda tones as to arouse the envy of those who were the news of TeleKabul. All this always reaffirming: "In our country there is total freedom of opinion and information". In truth, this conflict is a war of civilization between a very identitarian post-communist regime that has put itself on the defensive and decadent liberal-democracies which have now collapsed and failed ".

.

In its pages the Author immediately lets it be perceived that the important thing is not to be for or against someone, especially in an unusually delicate area such as a war conflict, but to think. Only through lucid reasoning and serious in-depth analysis, you can come to give birth to an opinion for or against, or abstain from judgment, when you do not yet have all the necessary elements to formulate one.

.

This book is a challenge to reason and at the same time a solemn reprimand of our information increasingly drugged by ideology, as the Author makes clear from the beginning in the presentation of the work that you can read WHO.

.

The Editions The island of Patmos thank the Production company Eriador Film for having kindly granted us the cover image taken from The secret of Italy, a film by Antonello Belluco which we recommend you to view.
