Benedict XVI and Dario Argento. The Holy Father Francis remains on the chair of Peter and avoid another trauma

If the Holy Father Francis, with a very personal act, legitimate and not subject to discussion and acceptance by any authority - not existing in the Church and in the world of authority higher than his - he should decide to acknowledge renunciation, would aggravate our trauma and give life to a disastrous custom: The papacy as a product with expiry date.

It is always important to explain the meaning of words, even when it might appear superfluous.

In current language, spoken and written, certain terms have lost not only their original etymology, they are even used in negative meaning. This that happens even within the Church, where more often it happens to hear ecclesiastical to affirm that we need "less dogmas and more basic church", complaining "forms of excessive attachment to the doctrine", or exposing to the public to the public a priest or theologian defined with a "Tridentine" contempt.

Regarding the concept "less dogmas plus basic church", It is necessary to clarify that, if so, The first to make mistakes would have been the fathers of the Council of Nicea del 325, followed a few decades later by the Council of Constantinople of 381. Their obsession with the dogmas was in fact so strong to give life to the symbol of faith known as Niceno-Costantinopolitan, A concentrate of Christological and trinitarian dogmas that we persist in reciting every Sunday in the creed, through which, In addition to not understanding the "basic church", even pluralism and religious relativism is rejected by arrogantly affirming: "I think the Church one, holy catholic and apostolic. I professed only one baptism for the forgiveness of sins ". A real exclusivity not incident that he shouts revenge on the sky!

Our, Far from the "basic" Esser, However, it is the exact opposite: a church of summit by its foundative nature. Christ himself put Simone called Pietro at his summit, from which everything proceeds with a waterfall effect, from top to bottom (cf.. Mt 16, 13-20).

Use the term "tridentino" as an insult, denotes a lack of worrying Catholic culture, It would be enough to know the rudiments of history to know in what conditions of decline the church between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries had sunk and what moral degradation afflicted the clergy, together with ignorance. The work of this great council was extraordinary in all doctrinal aspects, legal, pastoral, training, disciplinary and moral.

In the pudibonda society of the politically correct there are various terms emptied of one's own meaning and filled with other things, To then be used in a derogatory and offensive meaning. But here is a truly striking example. If using Office365 we type the word "Jesuit" and seek synonyms, The writing program indicates the following synonymous: "hypocritical, Pharisee, farisea, simulator, simulatrice». Instead, If we type the word "Jew" and seek synonyms, The same program will indicate these synonymous: "Jewish, Jewish". And here it should be remembered that in the German dictionaries of the 1930s, as synonyms of the word "Jew" these terms were indicated: «hypocritical, Pharisee, Simulator» (hypocritical, Pharisee, simulator). And with this we must take note that the modern Nazi of the 21st century have transferred their old hateful synonymies to other objects: by the Jews, that as such are children of a greater God, now untouchable, The same terminologies have been transferred to the Jesuits that, being children of a very minor God, they can be touched and can be insulted in the same way that the Nazis of the 1930s insult the Jews.

To communicate a language is needed, principal that can sound almost obvious but that is not at all at all, There are many people who, while speaking the same language, words give a completely different meaning. This obliges us to clarify and explain the meaning of the words that are intended to use. Example: To the word "punishment" I give a theological meaning linked to its correct etymology deriving from the Latin terms chaste e hint from which the word chastise was born, which means "to make pure" or "purify". Nothing to do with punitive or vindictive actions, In the biblical and theological lexicon, punishment is an action of grace of divine mercy, that is, an act of love, Why, as it is written in the book of Tobia:

«Benedict God who lives forever
His kingdom lasts for all centuries;
He chastise and uses mercy,
It drops into the abysses of the earth,
traces from the great perdition
And nothing escapes his hand " (Tb 13, 2).

The word Tràuma, deriving from the Greek wound (-this), which in the letter means "wound", begins to be used in medical literature around the 1650, in the psychological one starting from 1889 Thanks mainly to the research of the Viennese neuropathologist Sigmund Freud. There are several forms of trauma understood in its more adherent meaning of "wound". Of course, the most serious forms, they are not linked to physical injuries, but to the psychological ones, to the spiritual ones. And we were amazed expansions by the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI who made us spectators and protagonists of a historical event that the Church has known very rarely: The renunciation of a Roman Pontiff.

Through incorrect uses of words The act of renunciation of the pontificate soon took the improper and misleading name of "resignation". Since this was not enough, Benedict XVI cheered the dose by launching the tragically unhappy expression of "Pope emeritus". The unusual way, in many respects extravagant, through which this legitimate act of renunciation has been made and made official, He gave jobs scattered throughout the terracqueo orbe, fomenting the crazy theories of some poor priests out of balance and some little successful lyrical singer who started playing Dan Brown of noartri By printing an unlikely Ratzinx coder, promptly renamed by the undersigned Codice Katzinger.

The Supreme Pontiff Francis, Admitted to the Roman Polyclinic Agostino Gemelli, He has found himself several times between life and death over the past four weeks. He currently seems to be out of danger and after a month about the specialists have melted the prognosis. If the Holy Father comes out and returns to his residence in the Vatican, He will be a very fragile and deeply weakened elderly man, With walking problems and difficulties in breathing and talking, inclined to fatigue themselves to minimal physical effort, need to be monitored and cared for constantly.

To govern the Church it may be enough that a Roman pontiff is simply alive, even if unable to move and say a few words in a low voice, to appear in public and to receive people. To bring trauma instead it may be enough to implement what Benedict XVI brought to the scene of our history in February of 2013, not so much with its legitimate and valid act of renunciation, but in the manner chosen, resulting to the proof of the facts: unhappy, misleading and imprudent.

The detractors of the Supreme Pontiff Francesco The clothes for the effigy of the infamous Pachamama made the Vatican in August of the Vatican 2020 During the Synod on the Amazon. Perhaps it would be more appropriate and coherent to regret the eccentricity of Benedict XVI who in the Vatican had the director Dario Argento entered, By giving us a horror film entitled not by chance Trauma, With a screenplay entirely built on delusional thoughts that went from the "resignation" to the "emeritus popes", from the "active papacy and contemplative papacy" to the "extended papacy" (!?) ... Moreover, everyone torture, Sgozza and spreads blood on your cinematographic set as it can best can. Then, If the perverse psychology of decadent German romanticism comes into play, At that point the limits are lost and the inhibitory brakes as well. With the difference, But, that that of the silver master is fiction, that of Benedict XVI was our tragic ecclesial reality.

If with a very personal act, legitimate and not subject to discussion and acceptance by any authority - not existing in the Church and in the world of authority higher than his - the Holy Father Francesco had to decide to acknowledge renunciation, would aggravate our trauma and give life to a disastrous custom: The papacy as a product with expiry date. I pray and I hope this does not happen and that it remains on the chair of the blessed apostle Pietro up to death, because the Dario Argento brought to the scene by Benedict XVI, It was enough for us and advanced for the next five hundred years.

BENEDICT XVI AND THE FILM-DIRECTOR DARIO ARGENTO. MAY THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS AVOID US ANOTHER TRAUMA

If the Holy Father Francis, with a very personal act, legitimate and not subject to discussion and acceptance by any authority – there being no authority superior to his in the Church and world – were to decide to make free and unquestionable act of renunciation, he would aggravate our trauma and give rise to a disastrous custom: the papacy as one product with expiration date.

It is always important to explain the meaning of words, even when it might seem superfluous.

In current language, spoken and written, certain terms have lost not only their original etymology, but are used in a negative sense. This is that happens even within the Church, where often we hear ecclesiastics affirm that we need «less dogmas and more basic Church», lamenting «excessive attachment to doctrine», or exposing to ridicule a priest or a theologian scornfully defined as «Tridentine».

Regarding the concept of «less dogmas, more church of basic», it is necessary to clarify that, if this were the case, the first to err were the Fathers of the Council of Nicaea in the year 325, followed a few decades later by the Council of Constantinople in the year 381. Their obsession with dogma was in fact so strong that it gave birth to the Symbol of Faith known as the Nicene-Constantinopolitan, a concentration of Christological and Trinitarian dogmas that we insist on reciting every Sunday in the Creed, through which, in addition to not understanding the «church of basic», we even reject pluralism and religious relativism by arrogantly stating: «I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I profess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins». Horror! A true non-inclusive exclusivism that cries out to heaven for vengeance!

Ours Church, is’nt “of basic”, is the opposite: for very nature foundative is Church of vertex. Christ himself placed at its vertex Simon called Peter, from whom everything proceeds with a cascade effect, from the top to the bottom (Mt 16, 13-20).

Using the term “Tridentine” as an insult, denotes lack of Catholic culture, it would be enough to know the rudiments of history to know into what conditions of decadence the Church had sunk between the 15th and 16th centuries and what moral degradation afflicted the clergy, together with ignorance. The work of this great council was extraordinary in all doctrinal, juridical, pastoral, formative, disciplinary and moral aspects.

In the prudish society of political correctness, there are various terms emptied of their meaning and filled with something else, used in a derogatory and offensive sense. But here is a example. If we use Office365 to type the word “Jesuit” and look for synonyms, the writing program indicates the following synonyms: «hypocrite, Pharisee, simulator». Instead, if we type the word “Jew” and look for synonyms, the program indicate these synonyms: «Jewish, Judaic». And here it should be remembered that in the German dictionaries of the 1930s, the following terms were used as synonyms of the word “Jew”: «hypocritical, Pharisee, Simulator» (hypocrite, Pharisee, simulator). The modern Nazis of the 21st century have transferred their old hateful synonyms to other subjects: from the Jews, who as such are children of a greater God, today untouchable, the same terminologies have been transferred to the Jesuits who, being children of a much lesser God, are touchable and can be insulted in the same way in which the Nazis of the 1930s insulted the Jews.

To communicate, you need a language, a principle that may sound almost obvious but is not at all, many people, even though they speak the same language, give words a completely different meaning. This forces us to explain the meaning of the words that are intended to be used. For example: to the word “punishment” I give a theological meaning linked to its correct etymology deriving from the Latin terms “chaste” and “hint” from which the word castigare comes, which means “to make pure” or “to purify”. Nothing to do with or vengeful actions, in the biblical and theological lexicon punishment is an act of grace of divine mercy, an act of love, because, as it is written in the Book of Tobit:

«For he afflicts and shows mercy,
casts down to the depths of Hades,
brings up from the great abyss.
Give thanks to him, you Israelites,
in the presence of the nations,
for though he has scattered you among them,
even there recount his greatness» (Tb 13, 2).

The word tràuma, derived from the Greek τραῦμα (-this), which means “wound”, began to be used in medical literature around 1650, in psychological literature starting in 1889, thanks mainly to the research of the Viennese neuropathologist Sigmund Freud. There are different forms of trauma understood in its most adherent meaning of “wound”. Certainly, the most serious forms are not linked to physical wounds, but to psychological, spiritual ones. We have been extensively traumatized by the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI who made us spectators and protagonists of a historical event that the Church has very rarely known: the renunce of a Roman Pontiff.

Through incorrect uses of words, the act of renunce from the pontificate soon took the improper and misleading name of «dimissions». Since this was not enough, Benedict XVI doubled the dose by launching the unfortunate expression of «pope emeritus». The unusual, and in many ways bizarre, way in which this legitimate act of renunciation occurred has given work to conspiracy theorists all over the globe, fomenting the crazy theories of some poor, unbalanced priests and some fantasists who have started playing at being the Dan Brown of the situation.

The Supreme Pontiff Francis, hospitalized at the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, has found himself between life and death several times over the last four weeks. In the present time appears to be out of danger and after about a month the specialists have loose the prognosis. If the Holy Father leaves and returns to his residence in the Vatican, he will be and profoundly weakened elderly man, with walking problems and difficulty breathing and speaking, prone to fatigue at the slightest physical effort, in need of constant monitoring and care.

To govern the Church, it may be enough for a Roman Pontiff simply to be alive, even if unable to move and say a few words in a whisper, to appear in public and receive people. To cause trauma, however, it may be enough to implement what Benedict XVI brought to the stage of our history in February 2013, not so much with his legitimate and valid act of renunciation, but with the methods chosen, which proved to be unfortunate, misleading and imprudent when put to the test.

The detractors of the Supreme Pontiff Francis are still tearing their clothes over the effigy of the Pachamama brought into the Vatican in August 2020 during the Synod on the Amazon. Perhaps it would be more appropriate and coherent cry tears for the eccentricity by Benedict XVI who brought the famous Italian director Dario Argento into the Vatican, giving us a horror film not coincidentally entitled Trauma, with a screenplay entirely built on delusional thoughts that ranged from «resignations» to «popes emeritus», from the «active papacy and contemplative papacy» to the «extended papacy» (!?) … After all, everyone tortures, slaughters and sheds blood on their own film set as best they can. Then, if the perverse psychology of decadent German romanticism comes into play, at that point the limits are lost and so are the inhibitions. With the difference: that of film-director Dario Argento is fiction by horror films, that of Benedict XVI was our tragic ecclesial reality.

If the Holy Father Francis, with a very personal act, legitimate and not subject to discussion and acceptance by any authority – there being no authority superior to his in the Church and world – were to decide to make free and unquestionable act of renunciation, he would aggravate our trauma and give rise to a disastrous custom: the papacy as one product with expiration date. I pray and hope that this does not happen and that he remains on the chair of the Blessed Apostle Peter until his death, because the Dario Argento brought to the scene by Benedict XVI has been more than enough for the next five hundred years.
