THE RAINBOW TROJAN HORSE OF THE PERFECT CATHOLICS, SORA MARIA CLOSED FOR HOMOPHOBIA BECAUSE OF SCRATCHY AND THE THE FOENICUM AT THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MARKET INSTEAD OF FENNEL OUTLAW

Many among us belong to the so-called generation young paulist, many of us later became priests struck by that call launched by the Holy Pontiff John Paul II at a time when we were just teenagers: "… do not be afraid, open: open wide the doors to Christ and his saving power!». And to open up to Christ and make him reign in his Church, if necessary, it is necessary to forcefully bar the doors to the gay rainbow Trojan horses that claim the "sacrosanct right" to sin.

Faced with the bankruptcy of the Ddl Zan Father Ivano Liguori and I published an essay in November of 2021 titled From Prozan to Prozac. A book that has not lost its relevance, if anything, he bought it, like our other works where the authors have looked to the future without letting themselves be trapped by the social emotions of the present and analyzing certain bankruptcy tendencies in the making.

This book was dedicated to the memory of the great theater actor Paolo Poli, of which we reported on the back cover a very strong mouthful expression. Phrase that constitutes the paradigm of those subjects who feel like perfect rainbow Catholics and who as such cannot remain silent, to the point of claiming the right to have the hen, the egg and the hot ass, how does this go wise saying of Emilia-Romagna popular wisdom (An s’pol brisa aver galina, ov is a hot ass).

 

Concerning certain perfect Catholics rainbows that cannot be silent Paolo Poli commented:

«I see a lot of homologation, a flattening of one's individuality;, even in appearing: all dressed alike in a pseudo-masculine stereotype, logically straight […] Gays may have the chance; to express their own uniqueness; and diversity; in the strongest sense; true of the term. But no, they want to play husband and wife and have the Pope's permission to fuck each other! Come on! Never mind" (Paolo Poli, interview of 17 December 2003)

That is the question, depicted twenty years ago in a plastic way by this artist who he was horrified from the Gay Pride parades and that he made habitual use of terms such as «fags … fags … fags … fagots … queers …», therefore a very dangerous homophobe disguised as one of the greatest and most famous homosexual artists of the twentieth century.

Today we viewers of various dangerous imbalances linked to the violent denial of a Christological concept which is the foundation of our Christianity: the task of the Church is not to flirt with the trends of the world, but to fight them. It is therefore creepy and dangerous that around the Dioceses of Italy they are multiplying meetings and prayer vigils against so-called homophobia under the banner of political correctness. On the posters announcing these initiatives there is an ostentation of acronyms that make various references to "LGBT Catholics" or groups of "Catholic homosexuals" [see WHO, WHO, WHO, etc …].

 

Let's clarify: it is not a matter of being neither rigorous nor intransigent, because if a Catholic is such or wishes to be, cannot claim the right to practice homosexuality and to form LGBT associations of Catholics, because committing sins is part of full human freedom. However, it should be clarified that the sin committed - although permitted by God by virtue of the freedom and free will given to man - is not a right. And among the various serious sins, sodomy still remains a sin that cries out to heaven [See. Catechism NN. 2357-2359]. Then, that there is no sin greater than the grace and mercy of God, this is a foundation of our faith. At issue, however, are neither grace nor forgiveness, but that certain unspecified "LGBT Catholics" or "homosexual Catholics" are now claiming, in established and organized groups, the right to exercise a sexuality that is in total contrast to all the principles of Catholic morality. But it gets worse: these groups, far from seeking God's grace and forgiveness, they are infiltrating our ecclesial structures, diocesan and parish churches to claim on the one hand the "right" to sin, on the other to explain that in concrete facts they are not the ones who are wrong, but the Church. And this is unacceptable, because the Church of Christ, mother and teacher, in matters of doctrine and faith he is not wrong, because it enjoys a special assistance of the Holy Spirit sent by Christ God at Pentecost, who rules and governs it.

We are faced with a gay rainbow trojan horse let many of our bishops enter the Holy City in a villainous way, with all the devastating consequences that will soon ensue. The bishops who, in order not to have problems of unpopularity, are supporting or tolerating this invasion, they are enveloped in grave confusion about our precise foundation: the Church rejects sin but always welcomes the sinner, especially the worst sinners. If she didn't, she would betray in the worst way the mission that Christ God has entrusted to her. Precisely in this, however, lies the confusion and bewilderment, I've been saying and explaining it for years, but I never tire of repeating it: today we run the risk of no longer welcoming the sinner - which I repeat must always be welcomed ―, but institutionalized sin, up to fearful genuflect under the banner of political correctness before the various LGBT groups who claim a strange idea of ​​catholicity, up to demanding that the Church declare that evil is not evil but good. Even worse: accusing of homophobia those who indicate evil and sin as such, organizing for this purpose even prayer meetings to ask God for the conversion of the poor homophobes who indicate sodomy as a vile sin, refusing how "wonderful" it is for two males to mate, declaring they do it out of pure love and feeling precisely for this reason with their eccentric "Catholic" conscience in perfect order.

I already raised this question years ago: when a couple of lesbians who have manufactured a child with artificial insemination, or when a gay couple who bought it from a rented uterus show up to ask for Holy Baptism for their baby, our prudent and farsighted bishops, how they intend to act and react? You want me to describe certain scenes beforehand? Soon done: on similar ominous occasions we will meet in the churches all the elite of the LGBT lobbies, to whom nothing will affect the baptism, because their purpose will be only to demonstrate, through the public profanation of a Sacrament, who bent the Church of Christ to their perverted whims. Or we want to deny how perverse and inhuman it is in itself that certain couples "manufacture" children? And in front of a lesbian couple, or a couple of proud and proud sodomite men, which priest will have the courage to welcome these subjects as parents and then make them pronounce the baptismal promises? How can you ask them to answer: «You renounce Satan ... and all his works ... and all his seductions?». Some really think they are asking Satan to give up on himself? Why are two homosexuals who "married" and then "bought" a child from a rented uterus and who, declaring themselves "parents", lead him to be baptized for the sole purpose of bending the Church to their diabolical whims, I am Satan himself mocking a Sacrament of grace, to which one would go to ask in concrete facts: Satan, promise to give up on yourself?

In cases of this kind, perhaps the Catholic "by chance" or the Catholic "so to speak" ready to thunder that the creature, regardless of who submits it, she is not guilty and must in any case be baptized to be freed from original sin? I fear that the Catholic "by chance" or the Catholic "so to speak" will miss this theological fact: the ordinary means of salvation exist, that is, the Sacraments given to us by God and administered through the ministry of the Church, to follow the extraordinary means of salvation, which are those exercised by God, beyond the sacraments and regardless of the sacraments themselves, which God has no need to save souls, which he can redeem when and how he wants, without having to ask permission from Catholic doctrine or morals, much less to perfect Catholics, because He can derogate by choosing other ways, please ask for.

So it will be good to deny decisively and categorically the Sacrament of Baptism to the children of these couples whom the Church cannot accept as parents, as models and as educators to the Christian life, as perverse and perverted. If then the creature, reached the age of reason, she will freely ask for Baptism herself, in that case we will have a great celebration by having it administered directly by the bishop during the Holy Easter Vigil. But the Church cannot bend to the whims of the devil, never and in any case.

Always in our house then we have another category of perfect Catholics: those who support homosexuality sadly widespread even among priests, many of whom have brought this plague within our clergy, constituting the one that in my book of 12 Years ago, And Satan became triune, I indicated with profound analysis and ahead of its time as an ecclesiastical gay lobby. A lobby now very powerful, influential and quite harmful.

Seriously wrong, some might think that the many gay priests who pollute the clergy are protected by the so-called progressive fringes, but it is not so. Supporting them are mostly those perfect Catholics intoxicated by baroque lace and masquerading as conservatives with an excited gaze towards traditionalists, ready to make fun of a bishop who wears a miter that is not of their aesthetic taste, to then yell a little later at the homophobe towards anyone who dares to speak of the scourge of homosexual priests, that within the Church they should not have citizenship, because a practicing homosexual priest constitutes the worst profanation of the Catholic priesthood. Above all, when certain gay ecclesiastic queers reach government roles, can do enormous damage, produce terrible injustices and hit worthy and holy priests unwilling to bow to the whims and moods of certain gay clerical despots in power.

These perfect new Catholics have now given themselves to the public hunt for the homophobe, they see homophobes everywhere. With sometimes even ridiculous and grotesque results. Here are two different examples: days ago, in Rome, I passed through Via Trionfale and to my amazement I discovered that the hut of the legendary Sora Maria who produced and offered the Romans the scratchy from far away 1933, is closed. It seems that poor Sora Maria is currently on trial for having offended the LGBT community with her scratchy, complete with a cheerful and fierce radical association for the defense of unspecified rights that even filed a civil party in the trial. But it gets worse. Wandering among the stalls of the fruit and vegetable market in Campo dei Fiori, I noticed that Sor Ernesto had written the name and price of a vegetable on a crate: «Phoenix 4 euros per kilo». I approach him and tell him: «’a Sor Ernè, what are you doing pija perculo? You didn't even take middle school and now you even became a Latinist?». Sor Ernesto was scared to death, he invited me to speak in a low voice, then, pulling me aside, he whispered that some time ago a complaint was filed with the Public Prosecutor's Office in Rome by an LGBT association because the word "fennel" was a homophobic term and should no longer be used in the fruit and vegetable market. Even in this case, the same gay and fierce radical association for the defense of unspecified rights had also filed as a civil party in that trial.

Many among us belong to the so-called generation young paulist, many of us later became priests struck by that call launched by the Holy Pontiff John Paul II at a time when we were just teenagers: "… do not be afraid, open: open wide the doors to Christ and his saving power!». And to open up to Christ and make him reign in his Church, if necessary, it is necessary to forcefully bar the doors to the gay rainbow Trojan horses that claim the "sacrosanct right" to sin.

We intend to remain indomitable Romans, free to be able to say itchy and fennel without fear, pace of perfect Catholics who massacre a bishop for a miter that is not to their taste, but which a few lines later bless the abomination of desolation: widespread homosexuality among the clergy, which in the Church can never and in any way be tolerated. Because the Church has always welcomed the sinner, especially the worst sinners, but it cannot and never will be able to bless sin, especially if the gay viperellas disguised as perfect Catholics who shoot at everything and everyone ask for it. While we, as experienced men that we are, as well as by true and real connoisseurs of that Roman curia that so excites the insane libido of certain aesthetic gays who really don't know it and for this reason they don't know how to analyze it at all, we stand on deck in brooding anticipation, knowing how many there were in number, especially the smarter ones, powerful and bad, that we have seen pass underneath dragged away by the water of the river. Imagine if we won't see even a silly little viperella pass by shortly.

There was only one professional flea-hunting Italian politician who sighed about the way Volodymyr Zelensky violated protocol

/2 Comments/in /by

THERE WAS ONLY ONE ITALIAN POLITICIAN PROFESSIONAL FLEA HUNTER WHO HAS SHIPPED ABOUT THE WAY VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYJ VIOLATED THE PROTOCOL

We are not talking about formalities or formalities, but of institutional protocol, which is not based on futile external forms, but it is based precisely on the respect due to those who welcome you: be the country, is its head of state, is its Prime Minister.

The Autocrat of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky — because he is like his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin: an autocrat — he showed up on an official state visit to Italy with clothing that was not simply indecorous, but really disrespectful.

We are not talking about formalities or formalities, but of institutional protocol, which is not based on futile external forms, but it is based precisely on the respect due to those who welcome you: be the country, is its head of state, is its Prime Minister. Therefore, uno that it behaves this way denotes two things:
.
1) I can afford everything;
2) i am me and you are not a … as the legendary Marchese del Grillo said in a famous film by Alberto Sordi that has now gone down in history.
.
Complimentary for this hunting clothing&fishing they could even give him a cane … fishing. There had only been one, among our many professional flea-hunting politicians, that he sighed, only one.
.
It must be recognized that Vladimir Putin, when he disrespects people and institutions he does it at least in a more subtle way ed “Elegant”, for example, showing up twice late on an official visit to the Supreme Pontiff: In the 2013 with 50 minutes and then to follow In the 2015 with an hour and 10 minutes of delay. Of the series: “I am the Tsar of Great Russia, I can afford this and more, but wanting more”.

The Sacrament of Marriage by Father Gabriele Giordano M. Scardocci in Santa Maria Novella in Florence. You are invited: we are waiting for you!

THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE BY FATHER GABRIELE GIORDANO M. SCARDOCCI AT SANTA MARIA NOVELLA IN FLORENCE. YOU ARE INVITED: WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!

We invite our Readers who are in Florence and its surroundings to participate in the appointment to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage of Father Gabriele Giordano M. Scardocci the 17 May at hours 18:00 at the Convent of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.

This publication of Father Gabriele Giordano M. Scardocci centered on the aspects of marriage in total of Aquinas has the merit of demonstrating how today the thought of this Holy Doctor of the Church has been perfected and improved, but not passed, at least at the moment.

In this present of ours history we should accept that we need more than ever to listen to those who came before us and who have left us the best of themselves to build the present in the making and for our future in progress, starting with two great giants such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas.

The main value of this text we can catch it "between" and "in" the lines, and it is above all that of the family testimony of Father Gabriel: the book opens with thanks to the family because it is only after receiving, observed and participated that one can meditate on something important such as the gift of marriage on which to then make a speculative investigation. This is the leitmotif of the whole book where the questions on topics so topical and at the same time so dry and driven to generate division and misunderstanding in today's society - such as the indissolubility of marriage - the author responds primarily as a son, then as a theologian, finally through the gift of the sacramental grace of the priesthood which he has received.

The main feature what stands out in this work is the use that Father Gabriel makes of the consolidated method of Aquinas: base speculation on what the Holy Fathers and doctors of the Church said by getting the best out of each of them before responding with their own words. Nothing can be built from scratch or from the imagination, it is built through the patrimony of wisdom left to us by these great Moral Authorities of the Church treasuring what they have left us.

The author starts by resuming the Summons against the Gentiles, the most philosophical work of Aquinas which presents a possibility not only of rediscovering or knowing today the work of Angelic Doctor, but it shows how the themes of marriage can be found through the exercise of reason in any man, society or culture, even in a primitive or very elementary form.

The author explains how the sexual one it is not only an act of procreation but an act in which man, like other animals, it must be present thereafter to satisfy all the needs of both human and female life (donna) that of children, therefore the emission of sperm is not a selfish act, it is not aimed at pleasure and that's it, or just for playback, but a first act that is perpetuated and updated in becoming as a couple and as a parent, later as fathers. This is contrary to the many couples who reproduce without ever having thought of being parents and therefore of being father and mother.

The notion of equality between men and women it was not a struggle of the last decades, one slogan elevated to a contemporary social pillar. Father Gabriele explains and demonstrates that the female is not just an object and a means of reproduction or embellishment of one's life in the manner of a trophy, but she must be a companion, therefore respected even when time begins to pass and the youthful aesthetic charm must leave room for other more genuine and delicate beauties that arise from human interiority and from the rush of life itself.

In conclusion the argument on the need for stability and security in human relationships ends up standing out in the work, which are not only the certainty and truthfulness of a feeling, but also an anthropological value necessary for man called to experience a profound meaning and fullness of his individual and social being.

We invite our Readers who are in and around Florence to participate in the appointment to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage of Father Gabriele Giordano M. Scardocci the 17 May at hours 18:00 at the Convent of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.

"Crimes and Punishments". The inevitable extravagances of certain priests in the light of the Paschal Mystery

/in /by

«OF CRIMES AND PENALTIES». THE UNMISSABLE EXTRAVAGANCIES OF CERTAIN PRIESTS IN THE LIGHT OF THE EASTER MYSTERY

In Education Sacramentum, it is perhaps written that for certain liturgical abuses, some of which are real "crimes", the penalty is foreseen, for example the suspension peep by the priest for a suitable period of time? Perhaps it is expected, for the more serious ones, removal from the office of pastor? No, because perhaps this way of doing would not be charitable and merciful, therefore our legislator exhorts, he instructs and in his own papers he laments with a broken heart, while the abuser continues to do so in the total lack of precise penalties.

There is a famous work by Cesare Beccaria written in 1764 which is called Of crimes and punishments, where we speak above all of the promptness and certainty of punishment. How many times, in our country, especially in the face of situations of more or less widespread crime, we have heard the sentence and the lament "there is no certainty of punishment"? To tell the truth, what is missing is the application of the penalty, because in terms of existing, the penalties are there and they are written and well detailed. Instead we, on this issue Of crimes and punishments, we don't even question, because in the various documents and acts of the Magisterium of the Church in recent decades the word "sanction" or "penalty" does not exist at all, in fact, there are two essential things that are done in practice: he complains with a broken heart about certain situations that just don't go right, then it is exhorted with documents that are often called "exhortations" or "instructions" for this very reason, such as education Sacramentum, in which he instructs himself with a trembling and afflicted heart not to do certain things.

 

I went to browse the Criminal Law Code and the texts of various laws taken at random, and I found out, to my amazement, that a penalty is foreseen for every crime, which can be a penalty of a certain number of years in prison, or an administrative fine for less serious offences, through the obligation to pay an established sum of money. Accustomed as I am to the style of our documents, I wondered why, the legislator, it is not limited to exhorting and instructing that certain crimes are not committed, manifesting all his "powerless" pain for those who are committed instead.

In Education Sacramentum, it is perhaps written that for certain liturgical abuses, some of which are real "crimes", the penalty is foreseen, for example the suspension peep by the priest for a suitable period of time? Perhaps it is expected, for the more serious ones, removal from the office of pastor? No, because perhaps this way of doing would not be charitable and merciful, therefore our legislator exhorts, he instructs and in his papers he laments with a broken heart, while the abuser continues to do so in the total lack of precise penalties.

To talk about the theme of liturgical abuse, some of which have now been institutionalized and have become almost a norm in certain parishes or in certain Catholic lay groups, I will take what is the heart of our liturgy: Easter.

During this year's Easter Triduum 2023 between the evening of Holy Thursday and Saturday morning our Readers sent us photographs and films in front of which we Fathers of The Island of Patmos, that we have also sailed, as well as being aware of the extravagance of which some of our confreres are unfortunately capable, we found it hard to believe, even in front of photos and documents.

We offer you only a small overview of what reached the editorial office during the Holy Easter Triduum, especially regarding the repositioning of the Blessed Sacrament inside the Sepulchres at the altars of repositioning on Holy Thursday and what happened following Good Friday.

Holy thursday. A dining table with chairs was set up in a chapel in the relocation, set with tablecloth, dishes, cutlery and glasses, to one side the tabernacle with the Blessed Sacrament, probably to indicate that Our Lord Jesus Christ, instead of on the cross, he died at the end of a lunch attacked by a sudden apoplectic stroke. In another chapel of the reposition, the pyx with the Blessed Sacrament was placed on a table with a life ring around it, hanging life jackets were arranged instead of flowers, as if Our Lord Jesus Christ, instead of cross, died drowned in the sea while from Judea trying to land as a clandestine on the Mediterranean coast. And still to follow: the Blessed Sacrament placed on the altar of reposition in a microwave oven, apparently to symbolize how the Lord warms hearts (!?).

Altar of reposition perhaps inspired by musical: «Add a seat at the table that there is an extra friend, if you move a little’ the chair is comfortable too …» (Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, Rutigliano)

Good Friday. The images and videos that have come down to us raise in us the serious question whether certain priests have ever read the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and whether during the initial formation and the performance of the sacred ministry to follow, have really understood what the Easter Triduum is, for example by reading a twentieth-century work written by the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, in Italian edition "The theology of the three days" (1969). Work that offers a meditation on the paschal mystery according to the scansion of the three days: the mystery of good friday (the cross in the life of Jesus, l'Eucharist, the agony), the mystery of Holy Saturday (in which Christ experiences the "second death"), the mystery of Easter as theology of the resurrection and glorification of the Son. Good Friday, day in which the passion of Christ the Lord is commemorated, during an austere and silent liturgy entirely centered on the adoration of the cross, it is never conceivable that one can sing to the sound of rhythmic guitars and tambourines cheerful school-camp songs, even chanting «hallelujah, hallelujah” in choruses of totally inappropriate and out of place songs? Has anyone perhaps forgotten the omission from the liturgy of the Gloria and Alleluia during the Lenten period, or the so-called "tied bells" on Holy Thursday which will ring again only on Easter day together with the singing of the Gloria and Alleluia to praise the Risen from the dead?

Another author who has guided us in the mystery of the Easter Triduum theology it was the Florentine Father Divo Barsotti, that in one of his sermons of 1987 explained the mystagogical meaning of the "descent into hell" of Jesus Christ, article of faith also contained in the Apostolic Creed in which we recite «[…] he suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; descended into hell; on the third day he rose from the dead". Let's ask ourselves: how many are the Catholic faithful today who understand the meaning of the "descent" into those hells also referred to in the ancient tradition as Sheol o Eden, the "kingdom of the dead" where the dead Jesus Christ descended with his soul united to his divine Person, to open the gates of heaven to the righteous who had preceded him (cf.. Catechism of the Catholic Church NN. 631-635).

The Easter Triduum, in its symbology, contains a great and wise pedagogy, a sum of catechesis for the people of believers, which certainly cannot end up debased by extravaganzas staged almost always in the name of the politically correct of the moment.

Let us now see what that Easter triduum is liturgically which concludes with what the Church indicates as the Mother of all Vigils, in the hope that it will serve as a reflection for next Easter 2024. IThe Easter Triduum is the reality of the Lord's Easter, celebrated liturgically and sacramentally in three days: on Good Friday, which makes a living memory of the Passion and Death of the Lord; on Holy Saturday, in which the Church stops at the sepulcher of the Lord; Easter Sunday which celebrates the glorious Resurrection of Christ. A characteristic of the Triduum celebrations is that they are organized as a single liturgy, for this reason the Mass of the Lord's Supper does not end with ite missa is (”Mass is over”), but in silence. The liturgical action on Friday does not begin with the usual greeting and with the Sign of the Cross and also ends without a greeting, in silence. Finally, the solemn vigil begins in silence and ends with the final greeting.

The Easter Triduum constitutes a single solemnity, the most important of the entire Catholic liturgical year. From the Gloria from Thursday Mass to that of the Vigil the bells must remain in liturgical silence. In ancient times, even musical instruments had to be silent on Holy Friday and Saturday, until the Easter Vigil, to better express the penitential meaning of these days. For this reason, many compositions by ancient authors for Good Friday were written for choir only. Today, however, the use of musical instruments is permitted during the celebrations of these days, even if only to support the singing.

Vertex and gravitational center of the entire Triduum it is the Solemn Easter Vigil in the Holy Night. With the celebration of Mass of the Lord's Supper, the Easter Triduum of the Passion begins on the evening of Holy Thursday, death and resurrection of Christ, culmination of the entire liturgical year and heart of the faith and prayer of the Church (cf.. SC 102). On Holy Thursday the Church commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus in which the Lord Jesus, the eve of the Passion, carried to the extreme his love for his own who were in the world, he offered his Body and Blood to the Father under the appearances of bread and wine and, giving himself as nourishment to his apostles, he commanded them to perpetuate the offering in his memory, effectively establishing the priesthood of the New Covenant. Obedient to the command of the Lord, the Church celebrates the Holy Supper, feeling committed to translating the style of service and fraternal love into everyday life (cf.. the sign of the washing of the feet, proper to the liturgy of Holy Thursday) which he has in the Sacrifice of the Lord, sacredly present in the Eucharist, its meaning and source. The texts used in this celebration underline the sacrificial aspect of the Eucharist and its character as a memorial of the Lord's sacrifice (other than “Cena Santa…”), announced and prefigured by the events of the Exodus of Israel from Egypt, with the symbol of the immolated lamb and the passage of the angel of the Lord to strike the firstborn of Egypt (I reading); "memorial" that the blessed Apostle Paul describes as a rite celebrated by Jesus in the paschal meal with his apostles, sign of the new and eternal Covenant between God and men, sealed and ratified with his own blood (II reading). Finally - closely linked to the two readings - the Gospel passage from John shows us Jesus who, despite being Master and Lord, he becomes a servant, washing the feet of his apostles. With this gesture, the Lord Jesus wanted to show that his mission was the greatest service that God offered to men to save them: wash them of sins and feed them with his Body and Blood.

The Preface of this Mass summarizes the ineffable mystery of divine love:

«True and eternal priest, he instituted the rite of perennial sacrifice; to you first offered himself a victim of salvation, and he commanded us to make the offering in his memory. His Body immolated for us is our food and gives us strength, his Blood shed for us is the drink that redeems us from all guilt».

At the end of Mass of the Lord's Supper Maundy Thursday, the Eucharist is placed and kept in the altar of Reposition, called in the popular language of some regions of southern Italy tomb. Improper term as it does not symbolize the death of Jesus but is the place to worship the Eucharist. The right term is altar O chapel of the Reposition. Let's talk about the church space set up, at the end of Mass of the Lord's Supper, to welcome the consecrated Eucharistic species, keeping them until the afternoon of Good Friday, when they will be distributed to the faithful for sacramental communion. The Sacred Species are thus placed away to be worshiped during the night. It is tradition that the altars of reposition are solemnly decorated, with flower arrangements or other symbols: they must not be the place of extravagance or the forcing of signs that have nothing to do with the sole purpose of inviting the faithful to adoration. The circular letter of the Congregation for Divine Worship of 16 January 1988 by title Preparation and celebration of Easter holidays specifies the following about the altar of reposition:

«The Sacrament is kept in a closed tabernacle. You can never make the exhibition with the monstrance. The tabernacle or custody must not have the shape of a sepulchre. Avoid the very term "sepulchre". In fact, the chapel of the reposition is set up not to represent "the burial of the Lord", but to keep the Eucharistic bread for communion, which will be distributed on Friday in the passion of the Lord. The faithful are invited to stay in the church, after Mass at the Lord's Supper, for a suitable amount of time during the night, for due adoration of the Blessed Sacrament solemnly kept there on this day. During the extended Eucharistic Adoration some part of the Gospel according to John can be read. After midnight, adoration should be done without solemnity, since the day of the Lord's passion has already begun" (NN. 55-56).

The circular letter of the Congregation for Divine Worship of 16 January 1988 entitled Preparation and celebration of the Easter feasts, he specifies the following about the altar of reposition: «The Sacrament is kept in a closed tabernacle. One can never exhibit with a monstrance"

Good Friday the Church celebrates the Passion and Death of her Lord and remains in loving contemplation and meditation of his bloody sacrifice, source of our salvation. By ancient tradition, the Church does not celebrate the Eucharist on this day, but only a solemn Liturgy of the Word, followed by the adoration of the cross and Holy Communion.

In front of the completely bare altar, after the prostration of the celebrant in the silence of the assembly and the introductory prayer, are proclaimed three readings:

– the fourth song of the Servant of IHWH (Is 52, 13-15; 53, 1-12), where in the figure of the servant loaded with our pains, chastised, smitten and humbled and yet will justify many and by whose stripes we have been healed, it is not difficult to recognize the figure of Jesus, the one who has sinned, it has become the disgust of neighbors and the horror of acquaintances (cf.. Salmo responsoriale) and that it is our only way of salvation.

– The second reading is taken from the letter to the Hebrews (cf.. 4, 14-16; 5, 7-9) and specifies that Christ the suffering servant of IHWH is the high priest who has been tested in everything and who becomes the cause of eternal salvation for those who obey him.

– The Gospel reports the story of the Passion according to John (cf.. 18, 1 – 19,42). The death of Jesus is the supreme revelation of God's love which is sacramentally prolonged over the centuries in the water (Baptismo) and in the Blood (Eucharist) and is intimately linked to the gift of the Holy Spirit and to the birth of the Church, represented by the Holy Virgin Mary and the Apostle John. The homily is then followed by a solemn universal prayer in which supplications are raised for the Church, dad, for all sacred orders and the faithful, for catechumens, for Christian unity, for Jews, for non-Christians, for those who don't believe in God, for the rulers and for the afflicted.

As a consequence of the word heard and accepted, then follows the solemn Adoration of the Cross, "scandalous" and prophetic gesture because it is no longer venerated as a simple instrument of infamous death, but as a tree of life, “thalamus, throne and altar to the body of Christ the Lord". The priest uncovers the cross three times, presenting it to the people as a trophy of victory and saying: «Here is the wood of the cross, on which Christ was hung, savior of the world"; the assembly responds to this invitation: "Come on, we worship!». The assembly then performs the gesture of adoration, remembering that Easter is already fulfilled at that moment, our salvation is accomplished in the blood of the immolated Lamb: « We adore your cross, man; we praise and glorify your holy resurrection. From the wood of the cross, joy has come all over the world". At the end of the adoration, the cross is placed near the altar, it too is a sign of Christ's sacrifice, offered to the Father for our salvation.

To the adoration of the cross, follows the Eucharistic Communion, with the sacred Species consecrated the previous day. The Commemoration of the Passion concludes with a prayer of blessing over the congregation, which then dissolves in silence.

Holy Saturday. The Roman Missal presents this day to us with these words:

«On Holy Saturday the Church stops at the sepulcher of the Lord, pondering his passion and his death, as well as the descent into hell, and waiting for his resurrection, in prayer and fasting. The sacred table stripped, the Church abstains from the sacrifice of the Mass until the solemn vigil or nocturnal expectation of the resurrection". The Church is called first of all to meditate on the fact that Jesus "died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Color 15, 3-4).

Contemplate what he professes in the Creed by stating "he descended into hell": Jesus Christ shows solidarity with the man to be saved, facing death in the certainty that he would have won it not only for himself, but for everyone. From this point of view, Holy Saturday is a day of great hope! On Holy Saturday the Christian is called to imitate the pious women who after the burial of Jesus "were there in front of the tomb" (Mt 27, 61). It is no small matter to stop us too, in an atmosphere of faith and love, to pray, meditate and contemplate: may be desert day, of prayer and enlightened hope in God who chose not only to die for us, but to rise again and make us sharers in his resurrected life.

The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night it is the apex and center of the whole Easter Triduum. Considered the “mother of all vigils”, in it the Church waits, watching, the resurrection of Christ and celebrates it in the sacraments (cf. Norms for the liturgical year and the calendar, 21). All the celebration of this Vigil, therefore, it must take place at night and finish before dawn on Sunday. This is the night par excellence, where the great sacraments of Christian initiation are celebrated (Baptismo, Confirmation, Eucharist), which communicate to the faithful the saving grace of Christ's paschal mystery. The Easter Vigil consists of four parts:

  1. Liturgy of light or skylight. The Vigil opens with the celebration of the Risen Christ as the light of the world. The priest blesses a blazing fire (generally prepared outside the Church) and prepare the paschal candle, carving a cross on it, the Greek letters A and W and the digits of the current year, following this pattern:

While making this gesture, acclaim Christ the Beginning and the End, Alpha and Omega, to which Time belongs, the centuries, glory and power. Engraving completed, the celebrant can inflict 5 grains of incense in the shape of a cross and while making this gesture he acclaims the holy wounds, glorious and saving graces of Christ. The Cero is lit on the new fire and a procession begins which heads towards the presbytery; during this procession he is acclaimed three times "Lumen Christi!” and the candles of the faithful and the lights of the Church are lit. Placed the candle in its candlestick, the deacon proclaims the solemn Paschal Preconium (said "Exulte”) a beautiful text that announces the glory of Christ's resurrection, summit of the whole history of salvation, started after Adam's sin, depicted in the Passover lamb, from the exodus, from the passage of the Red Sea, from the pillar of fire and fully realized by the dead and risen Christ. The Preconium is an enthusiastic song that, recapitulating all the great moments in the history of God and man, expresses the exultation of heaven and earth, because with the resurrection of Christ also the universe, bruised by sin, it resurrects and renews itself. A text that should be meditated on for a long time and even personally prayed for.

Liturgy of the Word. Completed the skylight, the celebrant invites us to listen to the Word to meditate «how in the old covenant God saved his people and in the fullness of time sent his Son to us as redeemer». Nine readings are then proclaimed (seven from the Old Testament and two from the New), with the aim of introducing the faithful to the meaning and importance of Easter in the life of the Church and of every Christian, in relation to the paschal sacraments (Baptismo, Confirmation and Eucharist) by which we died and were raised with Christ:

I reading: Gen 1, 1 – 2, 2: the creation

II reading: Gen 22, 1-18: the test of Abraham

III reading: Is 14, 15 – 15, 1: the passage of the Red Sea

Fourth reading: Is 54, 5-14: Your spouse is the Creator

V reading: Is 55, 1-11: All you thirsty come to the water

VI reading: Bar 3, 9-15. 32 – 4, 4: The eternal covenant

VII reading: This 36, 16-17a. 18-28: I will sprinkle you with pure water

Letter: RM 6, 3-11: Christ risen from the dead dies no more

Gospel: One of the three synoptics according to the liturgical cycle

Between the VII reading and the Epistle the Gloria and at the end of the Epistle – after the Lenten “fast” – theAlleluia.

Baptismal Liturgy: Since ancient times, the Church has linked the administration of Baptism with the Easter Vigil, immersion in the death of Christ and resurrection with him to new life. After the singing of the litanies of the saints, the baptismal water is blessed - with the particular gesture of dipping the Paschal candle in it three times - with which Baptism is administered and the assembly is sprinkled, after this has renewed the profession of faith with the baptismal promises.

The Vigil ends with the Eucharistic Liturgy, which becomes the fulfillment of all the highest and most significant celebration and thanksgiving addressed to the Father for having given us his Son who died and rose again for our salvation. In fact, the true Eucharist began with Easter, in which, until the end of the ages, the Church will acclaim «Christ the true Lamb who took away the sins of the world; Christ that, by dying he destroyed death and by rising he gave us life again" (Preface Pasquale I). And this is how the "Day of the Lord" begins, day of life without sunset, in which the duty of every believer is to "seek the things above" and to "hide one's life with the risen Christ in God".

I have a question for you all, and together with the question, I leave the burden of the answer to all of you: the central heart of the founding mystery of our faith, it is the resurrection of Christ, before which the Apostle Paul affirms that if he had not truly risen our faith and our hope would be completely in vain (cf.. The Cor 15, 12-15) it may perhaps be a reason and an occasion to launch oneself into extravagances that often risk transcending between desecration and outright sacrilege? Everything is possible, when exhorted, he educates himself, but transgressors are not punished, to do so would be a lack of mercy, a pity this yes, absolutely intolerable.

«Bergoglio, heretic and apostate, blaspheme the Madonna". Word of a solar heretic with the obsession of Mary co-redemptrix who would ask for the proclamation of the fifth Marian dogma

/5 Comments/in /by

- Church news -

«BERGIGLIO, HERETIC AND APOSTATE, THE MADONNA BLASTS!». WORD OF A SOLAR HERETIC WITH THE OBSESSION OF MARY CORREDENTRICE WHO WOULD ASKS FOR THE PROCLAMATION OF THE FIFTH MARIAN DOGMA

Even Arius and Pelagius would blanch at such words: «Fatima can be considered for its prophetic effect, ecclesial, mystical, historical … we can call Fatima “private revelation”? I think not. Then it would be good to speak of "primary revelation", which is the word of God, the Holy Scripture, the tradition, and “secondary revelation” […]»

It youtuber most heretical of the solar system, Certainly Alessandro Minutella, former presbyter of the Archdiocese of Palermo, incurred excommunication for the crime of heresy and schism and finally hit by the extreme and rare measure of the dismissal from the clerical state, gave birth from 2017 to a mariolatric cult imbued with esotericism and millenarianism; cult that has nothing to do with the devotion always paid to the Blessed Virgin Mary by the universal Church, but not even with the popular faith of the simple often animated by that holy ignorance which will lead armies of people to earn the salvation of their souls with half a Ave Maria badly recited "in the hour of death". While instead to us, that we have been endowed with intellect, science and knowledge, much more will be required to merit the eternal salvation of our souls (cf.. LC 12, 48). Ours thunders in one of its daily live broadcasts:

“Modernists are smart, Fatima can be considered for its prophetic effect, ecclesial, mystical, historical … we can call Fatima “private revelation”? I think not. Then it would be good to speak of "primary revelation", which is the word of God, the Holy Scripture, the tradition, and “secondary revelation” […]» [cf.. video, WHO].

After this heretical statement which touches the very essence of Revelation - which is one and is linked solely to Christ God - what will the next step be, perhaps the inclusion of the Madonna in the Holy Trinity? but yet, sand we take the person concerned and in the face of this theologically delusional statement of his we ask him to account, in response we will be hit by a machine gun of sophisms. Or, if placed in front of the video document where he is speaking making these statements, he would not hesitate to reply that people misunderstood, that he didn't mean that but something else.

Obsessed with the idea of ​​“Mary co-redemptrix” [cf.. video WHO] (d)For years he has continued to launch violent accusations against the Supreme Pontiff Francis, manipulating and distorting historical data, writings and speeches. He's been doing that for years, deeply regrets that some of his followers blinded by his storytelling speeches do not really want to realize his castle of contradictions and falsehoods.

on the theological level and in the light of the Mystery of Revelation, there is no doubt that the Blessed Virgin contributed with her Divine Son to the redemption of humanity, but crucified as a sacrificial victim for the redemption of men, the Redeemer died, not the Madonna, who stood at the foot of the cross, on which she was not nailed, but Jesus Christ. Then, if we want to go to the deepest and most intimate substance, it would be enough to remember that Jesus Christ was not a creature, was God "begotten not created consubstantial with the Father" [See. the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed]. while Maria, however immaculate and preserved from original sin, he is a created creature, it is not God, much less generated not created of the same substance as the Father. And incidentally we recall that the Trinitarian God is worshiped in all three of his Most Holy Persons, while Mary is venerated. In the theological lexicon we usually speak of toilets, dulia e hyperdulia. With term toilets means the cult of adoration reserved only for God. With term dulia means the cult reserved to the Saints, which is worship of veneration and not of adoration. With term hyperdulia means the cult of high veneration reserved and due to the Immaculate Conception, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mater Dei, which however remains a cult of veneration aimed at the most perfect of created creatures, which remains created creature.

Mariology is not something in itself, almost as if he lived an autonomous life: «La mariologia non è altro che una appendice della Cristologia ed è inserita in una precisa dimensione teologica di cristocentrismo. If Mariology is somehow detached from this Christocentric centrality, si può correre il serio rischio di cadere nel mariocentrismo. Se poi il tutto è filtrato attraverso emotività di stampo fideistico, in quel caso si può cadere nella vera e propria mariolatria, which is to say: pure paganism. A quel point, Maria, potrebbe assumere tranquillamente il nome di qualsiasi dea dell’Olimpo greco o del Pantheon romano».

The most heretical youtuber in the solar system thus accuses the Supreme Pontiff Francis of having despised and mocked the “co-redemption” of Mary and to have defined — listen, hear! — the Marian dogmas of nonsense. And that's exactly what he says:

«[…] Bergoglio considers the Madonna an ordinary woman, one like all the others […] Bergoglio does not believe in Marian dogmas and has defined them as silly stuff (nonsense)».

Far from denying Marian dogmas as he attributes it to him youtuber most heretical of the solar system, indeed the Holy Father said these exact words:

“When they come to us with stories you should declare it [Maria] this, either make this other dogma or this, I say: let's not get lost in nonsense" [cf.. homily of 12 December 2019, full text, WHO].

It is again:

«Christ is the Mediator, the bridge we cross to address the Father. He is the only Redeemer: there are no co-redeemers with Christ, [Maria] as the Mother to whom Jesus has entrusted us, envelops us all; but as a mother, not as a goddess, not as a co-redemptrix: as Mother […] It is true that Christian piety always gives it beautiful titles, like a son to his mother: how many beautiful things a son says to the mother he loves! But let's be careful: the beautiful things that the Church and the Saints say about Mary take nothing away from the redemptive uniqueness of Christ. He is the only Redeemer. They are expressions of love like a son to his mother, sometimes exaggerated. But love, we know, it makes us do exaggerated things, but with love" [General audience the 24 March 2021, full text WHO].

Totally distorting the speeches as its use and style, from the 2019 accuses the Supreme Pontiff Francis of being an unbeliever who denies Marian dogmas, who has a Lutheran vision of Mariology and who despises the title of co-redemptrix that Our Lady herself would have insistently requested to be proclaimed by entrusting this message to the visionary Ida Peerdeman, to which the Blessed Virgin would have asked between the 1945 and the 1959 the proclamation of a fifth Marian dogma for Mary co-redeemer and mediatrix of all grace [cf.. video WHO].

«The false Church of the false Pope Bergoglio has caused the apparitions of Amsterdam to be denied […]. This Lady of all peoples who introduces herself “they will call me Lady” and who announces, anticipates the proclamation of the fifth Marian dogma [of Mary co-redemptrix] it's on his stomach, can't stand it. He can't stand Marian apparitions, of course. Fatima: went to Fatima and said “I prefer the Mary of the Gospels to this Madonna who appears and threatens punishment”. And the people who are unfortunately kept in ignorance by the priests did not understand that they were blaspheming […] Bergoglio is an excellent student of Freemasonry, at the highest levels. Bergoglio has this ability that comes to him from Satan: destroys his opponents [cf.. video WHO].

Psychiatry and the social sciences they teach us and demonstrate that the violent fanatic must first of all find an object on which to direct the hatred of the masses, using false news and totally manipulated data. The history of geopolitics has repeatedly shown, after the fall of certain regimes, how these had efficient and special offices, managed by excellent specialists, whose purpose was to manipulate data and information until creating a reality completely different from the objective one.

Of course it is youtuber most heretical in the entire solar system forget that the issue about the proclamation of the fifth Marian dogma of Mary co-redemptrix was not accepted, for theological-prudential questions, by all the Supreme Pontiffs in history, even by those particularly devoted to the Blessed Virgin, from Pius XII up to St. John Paul II who wanted the Marian emblem in his papal coat of arms and put his pontificate under his protection since the homily delivered in 1978 for the beginning of the Petrine ministry.

The Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, whom this huckster defined for years as one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century, already as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith he explained several times that the term itself “Redemptrix” on the theological level it created objective problems with Christology.

The passionate Mariolatri fideists reply that some Supreme Pontiffs, for example Pius XI and Saint John Paul II, in some of their speeches they used this term. It's true, but they used this term to indicate in the precise context of the discourse that Mary had collaborated for our redemption, different from the definition of a dogma. Nor object, as total theology fasts do, but that precisely for this reason they presume to be able to dissect in the most delicate spheres of dogmatics:

«… But St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort in his Treatise on true devotion to Mary wrote that … but Our Lady of Amsterdam in a private revelation asked that … such a mystic, the seer said that in a private revelation Our Lady asked him that …».

Really someone is willing to believe that the Blessed Virgin Mary would ask to be proclaimed co-redemptrix with a fifth Marian dogma? Let's smile so as not to cry over what the Holy Father Francis rightly defined silly stuff (nonsense) which make some subjects quite arrogant and difficult to manage, precisely because their arrogance goes hand in hand with their ignorance.

Try to think: it is conceivable that the Blessed Virgin who defined herself as a humble servant, the woman of gifted love, silence and confidentiality, the one who has the purpose of leading to Christ, can truly ask seers or visionaries to be proclaimed co-redeemer and put almost on a par with the Divine Redeemer?

The very term of co-redemptrix is in and of itself in conflict with the essence of Christology and the mystery of redemption operated solely by God the Incarnate Word, which does not need co-redeemers and co-redeemers. The mystery of redemption is one with the mystery of the cross on which, as already mentioned earlier, he died as a sacrificed lamb God made man, not the Blessed Virgin Mary, that at the end of her life she fell asleep and was assumed into heaven, she did not die and rose again on the third day, defeating death. The Blessed Virgin, first creature of the whole creation above all the saints for its immaculate purity, he does not forgive our sins and does not redeem us, he intercedes for the remission of our sins and for our redemption. When we turn to her through prayer, both in the Ave Maria than in Hi Regina, of always, throughout the history and tradition of the Church, we invoke her saying "pray for us sinners", we do not ask her to forgive our sins or to save us. It is to the Trinitarian God that we ask "forgive us our debts", that is, forgive our sins, we do not ask Our Lady, who can intercede for the remission of our sins, but don't forgive them. When we recite the litany Lauretane, in the first part where the Father is invoked, the Son and the Holy Spirit, we respond to every invocation: "Have mercy on us", we respond to the invocations to the Blessed Virgin: "Pray for us". This alone should be enough to close an unthinkable discourse on the theological level such as that of Mary co-redemptrix.

That said, it needs to be clarified that many people wholesomely and holyly devoted to the Blessed Virgin, what they mean by the term co-redemptrix is ​​something exact, but expressed with a wrong word, which I understood while discussing with a very dear friend of mine whom I consider a true model of Marian devotion. In fact they mean that Mary cooperated in our redemption. A fact to which we can add: and he did it in a particular way and as no Saint could ever have done, because she alone is there Mater Dei. All with all due respect to the youtuber more heretical than the solar system which might even make us laugh, with its pseudo-theological and Mariological follies. But unfortunately, behind it is the disaster of souls that drags into error, something on which there is little to laugh about and much to cry instead.
