If a girl of 17 years old, drugged and drunk, she leaves the disco at four in the morning asking for two pusher Tunisians to be accompanied home because she cannot stand up, behind him he has two unfortunates who have failed miserably as parents and educators.

In a corner of Italy a girl of 17 years old she left the nightclub at four in the morning without being able to drive her car microcar with which she had arrived around 22, She was so drunk and high on cocaine.

He decides to leave his minicar in the nightclub parking lot and ask for a ride from two unknown boys, of twenty-year-old Tunisians with various criminal records for issues related to drug dealing. While they were on the street the two stopped and, since they were there, they decide to rape her.
Faced with this fact, some things need to be clarified immediately: if a girl of 17 years old drugged and drunk she asks to be accompanied home by two strangers at four in the morning because she can't stand up, no one has the right to rape her. Having said this, the devastating political correctness that prevails does not allow us to affirm that the opposite is true, if a girl of 17 years old, she doesn't want to take serious risks, she will avoid going out drunk and drugged from the disco at four in the morning by asking for a ride from two strangers. This second statement is not legitimate to make, because it is not read as an invitation to prudence but as an attempt to limit the freedom of certain young people who must be granted everything, for better and especially for worse. Then if something happens, at that point we start looking for the faults in others.
Extremely serious mistake to indicate the two rapists as Tunisians, it's pure racism. We need to hide their nationality to avoid discrimination and if it were to come out we should hurry to point out that they could also have been two Italian rapists, because with the surreal “they could be”, the victim will certainly be much less traumatized by the rape she suffered. He has soAbove all, it must be made clear that consummated rape is the fault of the patriarchy. Read more, or to mount all the ideological and media protests of the case, just call Elena, sister of poor Giulia Cecchettin and her father Gino, now specialized in invoking everything and more, from patriarchy to machismo, while not admitting that if a girl is 17 years old, drugged and drunk, she leaves the disco at four in the morning asking for two pusher Tunisians to be accompanied home because she cannot stand up, behind him he has two unfortunates who have failed miserably as parents and educators. But you have to blame the patriarchy, to machismo, to society, even aliens and reptilians if desired, it is simpler and more convenient, rather than take responsibility for our disastrous family and social failures.

I felt sincere tenderness when reading on the portal Informazionecattolica.it a short but incisive article, well written and argued, in which it is explained that the controversial LGBT Jubilee would be the classic low blow without the knowledge of the Holy Father Leo XIV. Writes the Author:

«There is an entirely curial art which consists in making the Pope say what the Pope has never said. It's not about forging words, but to build sets. Strategic invitations, photographed meetings, immortalized smiles, And that's it: the next day the titles will be ready, and the message will be launched - even if the Pontiff has not changed a comma of the doctrine" (cf.. item WHO).
There are times when you would like things to be different and that it was the fault of others. So let's also blame the Maltese cardinal Mario Greek, without forgetting, however, that the Supreme Pontiff gives assent. And Leo XIV is not Francis, speaks and reads English, followed by Spanish and Italian almost as native speakers. I assume you know that certain gestures have great resonance, but if he doesn't know, or if he doesn't understand it, in that case he would be naive. Then, even if he were dragged into certain games he would still have the opportunity to correct them or reprimand those who dragged him into it without his knowledge, it has already happened in the past with several of his predecessors.
Now I am “old”, this way of doing, on both sides it no longer belongs to me, for this reason I decided at the time to save my faith and my vocation by retiring to a hermit's life.
Once again it seems that our Father Ariel has hit the mark, when a few days after the election of the reigning Pontiff he thus concluded an article which I invite you to reread today with the eyes of the present:
«God bless the Roman Pontiff, Since in this condition of disaster it could do little or nothing. But, before a desperate situation like ours, having tried even without succeeding, will already constitute merit of grace and salvation, through the glory of Christological failure" (cf.. item WHO).

Be similar to those waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding
/in Homiletics/by Hermit Monk
Homiletics of the Fathers of The Island of Patmos
BEING SIMILAR TO THOSE WHO WAIT FOR THEIR MASTER WHEN HE RETURNS FROM THE WEDDING
Jesus' disciples live on earth, But like pilgrims, while their residence is in the skies. We are, therefore, called to an wait that many times exceeds us.

«The night [of liberation] it was foretold to our fathers, so that they had courage".

These are the opening words of the first reading this Sunday, taken from the Book of Wisdom, and they prepare well for listening to the Gospel passage reported below:
"During that time, Jesus told his disciples: "Do not fear, small flock, because it pleased your Father to give you the Kingdom. Sell what you own and give it as alms; make bags that don't age, a safe treasure in the heavens, where the thief does not reach and the woodworm does not consume. Because, where is your treasure, your heart will also be there. Be ready, with their robes tight at their sides and their lamps lit; be like those who wait for their master when he returns from the wedding, so that, when he comes and knocks, let them open immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds still awake upon his return; verily I tell you, he will tighten his clothes around his waist, he will have them sit at the table and come to serve them. What if, arriving in the middle of the night or before dawn, he will find them like this, lucky them! Try to understand this: if the master of the house knew at what time the thief was coming, he wouldn't let his house be broken into. You too get ready because, in the hour you don't imagine, the Son of man is coming". Then Peter said: "Man, you say this parable for us or even for everyone?”. The Lord replied: “Who then is the trusted and prudent administrator, that the master will put in charge of his servants to give the food ration in due time? Blessed is that servant who is the master, arriving, will find himself acting like this. Truly I tell you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. But if that servant said in his heart: “My master is late in coming.", and began to beat the male and female servants, to eat, to drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will arrive on a day when he doesn't expect it and at an hour he doesn't know, he will punish him severely and inflict on him the fate that infidels deserve. The servant who, knowing the master's will, he will not have disposed or acted according to his will, he will receive many beatings; that instead of, not knowing her, he will have done things worthy of beatings, he will receive few. To anyone who was given a lot, much will be asked for; to whom men have committed much, much more will be required”» (LC 12,32-48).
The first three verses of today's Gospel (12,32-34) they make their own text, because they close an entire pericope dedicated to Jesus' teaching on the possession of material goods. They are His final invitation, which can only be grasped if one has in mind what was written just before in the Gospel, but not reported in today's liturgy, or the verses from the 22 al 31 of the chapter 12 by Luca. Those who follow instead, part of today's song (vv. 35-48), are to be considered as an exhortation to vigilance. They are a set of sentences, of images and small parables - the exegete Maggioni calls them: «mentioned parables» — which have a common denominator: the return of the "Son of man", that, as was said, requires vigilant waiting.
To specify this wait Jesus compares himself from time to time to a Lord (the gentleman, v. 36.37.43) returning from a banquet, he comes to the door and knocks, then reward the servants who remained awake by serving them at the table. Or a thief (the thief, v. 39) who arrives at an hour that the owner of the house (the host) disavows. Or again to that Lord who promotes a trustworthy and prudent administrator with responsibility (the faithful steward, the wise one, v. 42). All these images finally, Jesus reveals to us, they fit the figure of that «Son of man [that] he will come at an hour you don't think" (v. 40).
Being attentive and vigilant at the cost of losing sleep is crucial, but who are those who wait? In the passage Jesus speaks of servants and administrators, but everywhere in the text the people called to supervise are indicated with the second person plural, as if to include both the disciples who then heard the Lord, both contemporary listeners or readers of the Gospel, so we too: "you be ready" (v. 35); «you must be similar to…» (v. 36); "get ready" (v. 40). Finally, the answer given to Peter who had asked emerges: «You are telling this parable for us or even for everyone?». The Lord, revealing a ranking of responsibility while waiting, says to him: "To whom much is given, much will be asked for; to whom men have committed much, It will ask the more ". In this way it is clarified that if the recipients of the teaching, all in all, they are all believers, However, the responsibility of the leaders of the Christian community to whom Jesus dedicates a specific parable stands out.
Let the discussion be addressed to the Church and its leaders is clear from the terms used, which refer to a precise space-time context, be it the house, of the night or of the extended time of waiting. Jesus speaks of "girded sides" (v.34), while the word "house" is explicitly mentioned and then there is the night because of the "lit lamps" (v.35) and of the "second and third watches" (v.38 in Greek). We have here a reference to the theme of the Exodus - the "girded loins" are an explicit citation of Is 12,11 — where the Easter celebration took place in the evening, at home and in the family (Is 12,3). The hasty departure from Egypt of the children of Israel which took place at night is evoked and lifting the edges of the long oriental dress and tying it at the hips with a belt made the journey easier. It seems that Jesus wants to urge the Church to set out, to make an exodus, but in reality it is a matter of proceeding in depth rather than in extension, a journey that makes us ready to receive the One who is about to arrive: the true path is made by the Lord who comes! The center of the announcement of the three parables is therefore the coming of the Lord and the name of the path to which the disciples are called is vigilance. In fact, Jesus has already given instructions so that it is not hindered by useless obstacles such as greed (LC 12,15), the worries (LC 12,22.26) and fears (LC 12,32) that occupy the heart and take away freedom.
The parable of the vigilant servants (vv. 36-38) seems to be the narrative version of a beatitude - "blessed are those servants" (v. 37); «lucky are they» (v.38) – which might sound like this: «Blessed are the vigilant servants, because the Lord himself will become their servant". The reversal of values present in the Beatitudes is expressed here in the paradoxical figure of the master returning home, even late at night, e, finding his servants awake to open the door for him and welcome him to greet him, he himself begins to serve them. But this is the logic of Jesus which overturns worldly logic and which should apply in the Christian community: «Who is bigger? Who is at the table or who serves? Perhaps he is not the one who sits at the table? Yet I stand among you as one who serves" (LC 22,27).
A sense of imminence dominates the entire narrative for something that has yet to happen and yet implies anything but staticity or standing still. From everything we have seen above an indeterminacy seems to emerge, which however conveys the meaning of the Christian experience well. Jesus' disciples live on earth, But like pilgrims, while their residence is in the skies (Letter to Diognetus). We are, therefore, called to an expectation that often surpasses us. The problem of vigilance in these short parables, said another way, it is that of time, especially in everyday life, weekdays. Everyday, any weekday, if full of anticipation, it is "the day of the Lord". As in Luke's parable, every day is a good day to stay awake, keep the lamps lit and welcome the Son of man who will return. Thus he invited us to await the Collect prayer this Sunday: «Let not our lamp go out, because, vigilantly awaiting your hour, we are introduced by you into the eternal homeland".

The inevitable crying by prefiche of LGBT activists ready to transform an ideological clash into a funeral in polemical clash
/in Briefs of the Fathers/by father arielThe inevitable crying by prefiche of LGBT activists ready to transform an ideological clash into a funeral in polemical clash
And that God has today's pity of their souls and tomorrow of ours, perhaps much more sins, because it may be that these two deceased, Like the publicists and prostitutes in which Christ warns us, They pass forward in the kingdom of heaven. Nobody knows the judgment of God, But we know from the words of the Holy Gospel what it is well and what is bad, What is virtue and what is sin.

What the parish priest should have done who celebrated the funeral of the two famous gays who died in a terrible road accident, Maybe magnificent their splendid “marriage”?

This is the sin that LGBT activists accuse the priest, almost as he had pronounced an unforgivable blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (cf.. Mt 12, 31-32), that is, having talked about "friendship" instead of "love", ignoring in a malicious and inhuman way that the two were "married" and not "friends" (!?). These are the disputes moved by the inevitable activists, Obviously made - superfluous to say but I say it the same - with crying with professional premies (see WHO).
Personally I would have agreed to celebrate the funeral only in private form, behind closed doors, For a precise reason: Because from now consolidated pastoral experience we know that these occasions change in LGBT theater to advertise unacceptable things directly within churches as they are contrary to Catholic doctrine and morality, as well as whining in ideological sauce by politicized lobbyists at maximum power ready to criticize the doctrine and the magisterium of the Church that anyone - of course - has the right to reject, However, not to bend to one's whims, This nobody can ask for it or demand it, If you really want to be consistent. Or that maybe, we priests and theologians, Let's go to Mario Mieli Circle of homosexual culture to pretend that they teach the wonders of heterosexual virtues? None of us would pass through the mind to demand or worse make such an absurdity.
And now forward with the comments of the Cath-Arcobalenati: “But if there is amore … What matters is the amateur … Jesus preached the administration …”. Yup, preached love intended as Grace (charis) Greek word with multiple meanings: grazia, beauty, kindness … Jesus preached this kind of love-charis inviting to pass through the narrow door (cf.. LC 13, 22-24); preached love-charis inviting to deny ourselves - i.e. sin - and to take their own cross each (cf.. MC 8,34), certainly not to take it in the ass.
And here the CATTO-CARABALNATI will scream “to the vulgar priest”, Perhaps the usual indignant letters to the ecclesiastical authority written without even having washed their hands at the end of their playful practices, in order not to admit that vulgarity is not made up of my word “ass” expressed incidentally through an evident Pauline hyperbole; vulgarity is made up of two men who play husband and wife. Vulgar, but as well as vulgar also without a sense of human measurement, They are those who would like to force the Church to approve certain disorders, that anyone who remains free to practice, as I remain free to consider them such, without preventing anyone from living the sexuality that best wants, without giving moral judgments to anyone, if not expressly requested by the person concerned in private. And even when requested in private I have always expressed them with extreme delicacy in relations with the individual person, always keeping in mind that it is my Christological mandate to fight sin but always welcome the sinner, while no one can ask me to bless the sin instead, to affirm that evil is good and that good is bad, nor am I willing to take seriously, but if necessary only around a few poor gay sfranto who would like to relegate, complete with absurd references to doctrine and canonical law, Certain moral disorders in the strictly private sphere of people.
And that God has today's pity of their souls Tomorrow of our perhaps more sins, because these two deceased, as Christ warns, they could also go on like publicists and prostitutes in the kingdom of heaven (cf.. Mt 21, 28-32). Nobody knows the judgment of God, But from the words of the Holy Gospel we know what it is well and what it is bad, What is virtue and what is sin. It should not be forgotten that in his preaching the divine master makes a call to hell and damn for dozens of times.
The emotional replica of the Cath-Arcobalenato is taken for granted: "Yup, But there are worst things ", "Yup, But many others make worse …». Maybe these people don't even need to confess, not only because the priest - starting from the writer - is more sinful than them, But because the others would always and in any case commit worst sins. Never tell him that theirs is not a Catholic thought but an extravagant Catholicism to the how-mi-pare, Because at that point the protest letter for our bishops will already be ready and …
in front of the domineering lay, as long as he is pleased
albeit imbued in rotten wrong in doctrine and moral,
Li Boni 'Piscopi d’Ultima and penultimate generation
I do not hesitate to make their priests horrid slaughter meat
(Bishop discraziati, Unpublished by Dante recently found).
Despite the times of episcopal lean cows I was blessed: My bishop is not a macilent cow's cow but a vitellone of pure Lucanian breed and with him certain subjects, indistinctly hetero from homo, they would go to knock on empty, because he is intelligent and jealous of his priests. For this it is good not to lose time, Because it would end up realizing that talking to him badly unnecessarily of his priests is just waste, But who wants to lose it, that you also accommodate.
