THOSE FAILED PRIESTS OF A CHURCH IN DISAGREEMENT THAT CERTAIN "CATHOLIC SCAM" LIKE SO MUCH, WHOM WE WOULD LIKELY TO DO WITHOUT

I am happy to have given the shame of a priest to a brother who manifested himself as such, beyond all his social and charitable activities, it might help him to reflect on the fact that publicans and pagans carry out good works and social works even greater than his. With all due respect to his family fans, turned out to be mostly violent and insulting "Catholic rabble" in the comments, who would like to transform the Church of Christ into an equestrian circus, as if it wasn't bad enough already.

I bless God for sixty years that I accomplished 19 August and I tell you one of the most recurring jokes addressed to my octogenarian brothers during spiritual direction conversations:

«If I could exchange it, I would give you my years and I would take your years as you are approaching the end of your life. Because I don't even dare think what I will have to see and suffer as a priest living with others 25 O 30 years in this situation of now irreversible ecclesiastical and ecclesiastical decadence, to carefully consider that we have long since passed the threshold of no return".

That the Church will survive it is a divine promise of Jesus Christ, which however warns us:

"But the Son of Man, when will, find faith on earth?» (LC 18,8).

The Church will find it, but the question is rigor: which Church? I am now 15 years that in my books and articles I have put forward a hypothesis that is not based on the "enlightened mystic" that I am not, but on the sacred scriptures: and if upon his return he found a worldly Church completely emptied of the essence of Christ and filled with something else? The Catechism of the Catholic Church - this great unknown to "Catholics" from social following some pretini trendy - with unequivocal clarity he teaches:

"Before the coming of Christ, the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers (See. LC 18,1-8; Mt 24,12). The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth (See. LC 21,12; GV 15,19-20) He will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems, the price of apostasy from the truth. The greatest religious imposture is that of the Anti-Christ, that is, of a pseudo-messianism in which man glorifies himself in the place of God and his Messiah who came in the flesh" (See. see WHO).

During one of our last interviews Cardinal Carlo Caffarra of blessed memory told me:

«None of us knows the day and the hour (N.d.A. Mt 24,36), therefore we cannot make even vague hypotheses. But one thing is certain: reading the Holy Scriptures it would seem that today almost all of the elements recur" (N.d.A. Ii Ts 2, 3-12).

To deal with this very delicate topic I take the antics of a brother as an example, one among many devoid of any malice, indeed convinced in good faith that they are doing good, unaware that before God we priests of Christ are not justified by a certain good faith, which, like good intentions, can even lead to Hell in the most serious cases, because neither the benefit of ignorance nor that of inevitable or invincible ignorance will be recognized to us. It is written:

"To whom much is given, much will be asked for; to whom men have committed much, It will ask the more " (LC 12,48).

Nothing personal towards this Genoese presbyter promptly defended himself social media by an army of fans who have inundated me with insulting messages and comments. I intend to use it only as a paradigm to depict the decadence and sloppiness of our poor clergy.

Here is the documented fact: this priest tiktoker he has long been accustomed to networking gag convinced in this way to attract the there are children. In one of these public videos he exceeded all the limits of priestly and theological decency, so that, being a somewhat well-known so-called public figure myself, I reacted equally publicly, without failing to comply with the evangelical criteria of fraternal correction (cf.. Mt 18, 15-18), because if in fact you decide to publicly make a fool of yourself by staging one sketch on the mystery of the incarnation of the Word of God, I have a duty to tell you publicly that you are an idiot, to be good. By acting like this you dishonor our priestly dignity, which is not yours and you cannot dispose of it as you wish, because it is ours, given to us on loan for use and for which we should seriously and gravely answer to God.

The images and sentences speak for themselves, because the idiot finds nothing better to do than insert this caption in his video:

«Saint Joseph when the Angel Gabriel announces to him that his wife Mary is pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit».

Under this caption, covered in sacred liturgical vestments and with the tabernacle containing the Blessed Sacrament behind him, the priest tiktoker the comic actor Carlo Verdone begins to mime to represent the Blessed Patriarch Joseph who first thoughtfully scratches his head and then says «In what sense?» (Song movie A lot nice, see WHO).

On my page social I contested this attitude which undermines priestly dignity and the blasphemous way in which this idiot represented the key mystery of salvation: the incarnation of the Word of God made man. Of course: if I have already used the term "idiot" several times it is to criticize this improvident priest tiktoker all the most charitable mitigating factors, because all of us will be ready to justify and then forgive the stupidities of the village idiot, precisely because I'm stupid. So, call him an idiot in this precise context, it is an act of authentic charity and mercy.

These are the results: called together their own fans the priest tiktoker he instigated them with his post to deny and then reply. What in language social is called Shit storm, shit storm literally. And so, i fans of the priest tiktoker they have inundated me with messages accusing me of being - in the best and most delicate hypothesis - a disgraceful priest, an inhuman, a rigid one, an envious one. An army of people wrote that this priest attracts many there are children, because i there are children with him they don't get bored but have fun. Others have written that rigid people like me have empty churches, others questioned whether I was even a priest. The army of inevitable women could also be missing passion, always the most violent of all, only to then cry and shout “chauvinist!” if someone talks back to them? En masse they addressed me in tones with which it would not be legitimate to address even a multiple-homicidal life prisoner., magnifying the extraordinary social and welfare works of their favorite in favor of the children suffering from cancer at the Gaslini hospital in Genoa.

I couldn't respond to hundreds of comments mostly insulting, I only responded to a few, aware that the plethora of non-Catholics following this priest manifested, from comment to comment, feelings and styles that are the antithesis of what Catholic sentiment is. It would really have been a waste of time to explain to them that doing good does not mean being either good priests or good Catholics:

«Even publicans don't do the same? And if you only say hello to your brothers, what are you doing that's extraordinary? Even pagans don't do the same? You therefore be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt 5, 46-48).

What does this phrase mean? Something as solemn as it is terrible: good, Christianly understood, it cannot be separated from faith, by hope and charity (The Cor 13, 1-13). And faith and charity are not born from the joy and enjoyment granted to there are children by certain priests inside churches reduced to circuses, they arise from the mystery of the cross of Christ which defeats death and which makes us all participants in his resurrection. This is the heart of our Christian joy: and rose again on the third day, and ascended into heaven.

Some time ago I refused to say hello to an abortionist gynecologist - but as is well known, I am rigid without charity and mercy -, refusing to sit at the table with him at a dinner hosted by various clinical friends to whom I told: «I don't sit at the table with Herod who carries out the massacre of innocents every day». I said goodbye and left. Attitudes, these of mine, certainly the result of rigidity and lack of mercy towards a man considered extraordinary by all. In fact, you should know that this new Herod volunteered for abused women and during the year went to serve in poor African countries, even leaving you his personal donations. In short, a man of charity, a man of God according to certain "Catholic scum" incapable of understanding what he means: «The publicans and the pagans do not do the same?».

As is well known, I am a spiritual director or confessor of many priests. Over the last year I have painfully and lovingly accompanied two out of the priesthood, inviting them to ask for dispensation from the sacred ministry and the obligations of celibacy. Reason? Both had completely lost their faith. A quel point, in science and conscience I told them: «Remaining in the priesthood would be the wrong way to try to somehow recover a glimmer of faith». I was wrong, I was perhaps rigid? How long to stop at, because just over a year later, the departments of the Holy See responsible for dealing with certain problems recognized the nullity of the priestly ordination of one of the two, effectively admitting that he really shouldn't be ordained a priest.

You know, or emotional-internet “Catholic” lay people, from what I have often recognized the terrible training for the priesthood of certain priests, their serious lack of faith or their serious spiritual crises? From their hyper-activism in the social sector, from their being all projected towards the there are children and towards social and charitable works, just to give meaning to their lack of faith or to avoid and not face their serious spiritual crises generated upstream by a bad or even disastrous formation for the priesthood. And sometimes, with subjects of this kind, I had to work for years, not always with good results, because if the priest doesn't train him first, forming it afterwards is almost impossible.

I started this article by saying my age, I did it for a specific reason which I will explain to you now: reading the rigorously insulting comments of certain people fans of the priest tiktoker, I fell back to my adolescence, acknowledging with sadness and regret that certain "Catholic scum" have not yet emerged from the unfortunate and disastrous seventies of the twentieth century. In those years I was a teenager but perhaps already inclined - who knows! - to be rigid. Therefore I remember certain things well there are children who talked about Che Guevara and Jesus Christ, confusing one with the other, who played guitar and sang at the Holy Masses God is dead Francesco Guccini, praising Friedrich Nietzsche, while the poor faithful lined up to receive the Body of Christ. Then in the evening they went to meetings at the Lotta Continua or Proletarian Democracy headquarters, occasionally throwing a few rocks at the State Police during demonstrations. And when they returned to the parish oratory they talked about revolution and said that the Church needed to be revolutionized, inside which - listen, hear! - you had to be cheerful, because Christianity is joy and love. In those years, similar stupid priests, they were trying to attract there are children saying that Christ was a great revolutionary and that the Church had to put him at the center there are children. The exact same speeches of most of the fans of the priest tiktoker that attracts i c’iovani and who does a lot of social apostolate, even with children suffering from cancer, in short, a holy model of priestly virtues compared to which Saint John Mary Vianney is very little! How sad, forty years have passed in vain without some people understanding anything, stubborn, even violently if necessary, in not wanting to understand that the Church of Christ is something else and that ai c’iovani you have to present a project that is far from easy to implement in life:

"Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:; how narrow is the door and how narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find!» (Mt 7, 13-14).

Between one of his precious social-charitable activities and another, including children suffering from cancer in the oncology department of the Gaslini in Genoa, the priest who does the sketch he should remember that when the bishop consecrated him as a priest, his, like all of us, he said:

"Understand what you do, imitate what you celebrate, conform your life to the mystery of the cross of Christ the Lord " (See. Rite of the Sacred Ordination of Priests).

All this the stupid priest tiktoker he understood it so well to the point of being ironic about the incarnation of the Word of God before the tabernacle. Just to reiterate that calling him an idiot in the face of all this is a true act of charity and mercy. Or by chance some bishop told him to conform to Carlo Verdone to attract the there are children? The replica is ready fans: «He fills the churches!». Yup, but what does it fill them with?? Maybe of there are children who see the nice priest instead of seeing the mystery of Christ God? Who fills them with, perhaps with ex-68ers who still think they can rewrite the faith and the Church to their liking, happy beyond measure if they find a priest of great charity and great apostolate who de-sacralizes the mysteries of faith?

I am happy to have called you ashamed of a priest to a brother who manifested himself as such, beyond all his social and charitable activities, this could help him reflect on the fact that publicans and pagans carry out good works and social works even greater than his. With all due respect to his family fans turned out to be mostly violent and insulting "Catholic rabble" who would like to transform the Church of Christ into an equestrian circus, as if it wasn't bad enough already.

Our mission as priests it is not to please the world but to fight it and say no to its anti-Christian perversions. I know very well that it would be much more comfortable to say: "Yup, it is true, they are two men, but what does it mean, as long as they love each other, because God is love and mercy, not prohibition, not judgement, least of all punishment. God does not punish anyone, This is what the rigid believe and say. God is love, love and forgive everyone". Some even add: «Certain couples of “married men” are very sensitive and if we even give them a child for adoption they are better and more tender than many heterosexual couples». And so on, whoever wants to understand should understand, because this is the reality of nice priest: just say bad is good and good is bad and the world will love you and put you on a pedestal. Or someone thinks that at the tender age of sixty and with years of priesthood behind him, didn't understand what the world wants to hear, to like a priest and turn him into your idol?

Our mission is not to do i jocks watch there are children, but to tell them the things they don't want to hear, with tact and delicacy, aware of facing total rejection from the majority of them and the most ferocious criticisms and attacks from those around them. Starting from their disastrous parents, ready to stamp their feet and pretend to be right if they say that it is good and right that their twenty-year-old daughter has gone to live with her boyfriend, «because today it's not like it used to be, things have changed and we need to be flexible and understanding", then adding that disguised threat that the true pastor in care of souls should not care at all: "Otherwise, with your way of thinking, move away there are children from the Church!».

To those who say they are Catholic it is necessary to clearly say what is good and what is bad, for their lives and the health of their souls, in this society of ours to disaster, especially among young people. Our mission is to prevent that in the name of an unspecified “love” let the worst perversions in the world be introduced like a Trojan horse into the House of God by social-idiotic priests, to the point of making fools in front of the tabernacle of the Blessed Sacrament with the vestments on, ironically about the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word of God, while the ex-sixty-eight grandmothers - those who when young ran en masse to vote for the referendum in favor of abortion and then go on to sign in favor of euthanasia at Marco Cappato's banquets - between a bout of rheumatoid arthritis and a prolapsed uterus they are pleased with the there are children who have fun in church with cool priest, because with him everything is joy, other than that strange idea of “love” that justifies everything, starting from the worst sins, including those who cry to heaven.

Of course, joy and happiness. It's proof of it, emblematic in its own way, the Blessed Virgin Mary, that under the cross there was a blaze of joy, while the Blessed Apostle John, to cheer her up even more while Christ was dying, he recited to her the verses of the Roman satyrs ancestors of Carlo Verdone. Then there are the rigid ones who instead sing «Mother stood beside the cross weeping, While her Son», unable to understand how important it is to sing: "Unleash the joy, Today the feast is, dai, sing with us, the party here we are ", because «Christianity is the religion of joy, of love and life". Yup, but there is only one “piccolo” that for which: joy is reached through the passion of love of the cross and life, that of eternal bliss - which is a reward and not a due right - is achieved through death, often preceded by illness and suffering. It is written:

«Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. Because who will want to save their life, will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake, You shall find”» (Mt 16.24-25).

Far from unleashing joy, we are the party. “Catholic scum” … «Via, away from me, cursed, the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels " (Mt 25,41).

« COME APART, YOU ONLY, IN A DESERT PLACE, AND REST FOR A LITTLE". SUMMER IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE MEANINGFUL BONDS WITH THE LORD

I want to be a provocateur and suggest to our readers to do without, during rest and vacation times, of the many newspapers and newspapers that we commonly purchase to enhance reading and meditation on the Gospel. It won't just be an economic benefit - more or less 1,50 € saved - but a sure blessing that will greatly benefit our soul. The rest, the Gospel has not always been there Good news par excellence that no newspaper can ever hope to match?

We have now entered the height of summer which is that elective season that allows us to dedicate ourselves to rest and recovery from physical and spiritual efforts. In the Gospel we see Jesus himself inviting the Apostles, at the end of a tiring day of announcing the Kingdom, to rest and stay with Him to recover our strength [See. MC 6,31]. To a casual glance, rest cannot be interpreted only as an absence of fatigue. In Holy Scripture, eg, the divine rest after the week of Creation [See. Gen 2,2] it becomes the way in which to enter into recognition of the praise and contemplation of the Father for what has been created. God does not pause, he is not idle, static, because as Christ himself attests to us: “My Father always works and I too work” [See. GV 5, 17].

«Vgo aside, you alone, in a deserted place, and rest a bit" [See. MC 6,31]. Divine rest, that God lives and generously gives to man, becomes the reward of that work of guardianship of Creation - and in the Gospel of announcing the Kingdom of the Father - in which it is possible to contemplate, worship and praise the Lord. Just as it is God first who in his joyful «Shabbat» contemplates his work blessing its intrinsic goodness - he saw that it was good -, thus man contemplates and recognizes his Creator who places him at the pinnacle of created things and who makes him a blessing (See. John Paul II, Apostolic letter, Dies Domini, 1998).

Rest according to Holy Scripture expands and transmutes man's time from saturn/kronos, moment marked by appointments and doing, in weather/kairos, opportune moment in which man becomes the subject of the concern of God who reveals himself. The favorable weather kairos it is an epiphany of grace, something that the Church lives in its action of daily sanctification in the liturgical action. In this regard, allow me a brief aside on liturgical theology. During the liturgy, whatever it is, it would be good to expand time and not narrow it, let yourself be guided by kairos and not from kronos, forget for a moment the wristwatch - primarily for the celebrating priest - together with the inevitable clocks which for some years have become the new liturgical furnishings present in many presbyteries.

We must however with a sense of balance and reality, be aware that not everyone can enjoy a moment of rest, perhaps because they are busy with duties that cannot be postponed or because they are burdened by some condition that takes away from the mind even the vague possibility of conceiving a bit of rest or vacation. but yet, even in the face of these situations, God wishes to provide each of his children as a caring father and suggest a rest that is not made up of places alone but above all of presence, of his divine presence.

It will be good to remember - and remind ourselves - that as Christians we must not give in to the temptation of discouragement, much less to desperation. Let us often remember what the Blessed Apostle James suggests in his letter: «Who among you is in pain, do you pray; whoever is in joy should sing" [See. GC 5, 13-20]. Moments of joy - including those of rest and holidays - are favorable opportunities to sing praise to the Lord, to tell Him how great He is and that He alone is the powerful Savior of our lives.

Saint James invites you to sing because the Psalms constitute the elective prayer of the man who seeks the Lord and who wishes to live this search always, without interruptions, not just when things seem to be going well, an eventuality that does not automatically coincide with the absolute absence of problems. In this regard I like to remember the example of the Seraphic Father Saint Francis who composed in 1226 the Canticle of the Creatures certainly not at a favorable moment in his life, indeed in perhaps the most difficult moment from the point of view of physical health and internal controversies within the Order, yet his mouth never closed due to pain but was able to open to the praise of the Lord.

The search for the Lord opens us to praise and helps us to pour out that free sense of gratitude of the heart towards God who unfolds his Providence and his strong and omnipotent arm as we see proclaimed by the Blessed Virgin Mary in the song of Magnificat. It is precisely during periods of rest that we have the privilege of forming elective bonds with the Lord and knowing him as he wishes to be known by us.. For this reason, when our summer days will be freer from work commitments, academic or scholastic, let us learn to live with the solitude of our churches, so as to fill them with kairos. Much more than the churches in winter, in summer, they are promptly deserted and seem perfect deserts in which to let the voice of the Lord speak. We choose a time that is favorable to us in which we know we can remain face to face with the Lord in front of the tabernacle and there we raise our praises and our free and grateful adoration. Let us be educated by the Holy Spirit to know how to embrace the greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharistic mystery. We are not afraid to speak from the heart:

«We adore you, Most Holy Our Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all your churches throughout the world, and we bless you, because with your holy cross you have redeemed the world". [See. F.F. 110-111].

Given the several hours that we can dedicate to well-deserved leisure, to go to the sea, in the mountains or in some other favorable location, we are not afraid to dedicate an hour - yes sixty minutes of the entire day - to the Lord Jesus. It would be good to divide this hour into two periods of thirty minutes each, letting the Lord communicate with us. If we think about it, summer is the hotbed of many ephemeral words and superficial conversations that holiday time often exacerbates.. As Christians we feel a strong imperative to fill our lives with the Word of the Word made Flesh. In this hour of kairos, we are not afraid to open the Gospel. A good thing is the reading of the Gospel of the day which can be found in various ways on the dedicated Apps or through the monthly missal tool. I want to be a provocateur and suggest to our readers to do without, during rest and vacation times, of the many newspapers and newspapers that we commonly purchase to enhance reading and meditation on the Gospel. It won't just be an economic benefit - more or less 1,50 € saved - but a sure blessing that will greatly benefit our soul. The rest, the Gospel has not always been there Good news par excellence that no newspaper can ever hope to match?

For those like me who love walking and walking - when I can I can do it too 10/15 km per day - it is good practice to recite the Holy Rosary or the Prayer of the Heart: «Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, sinner!». Walking helps to tune the mind with the heart and find the right concentration to rise to God within naturalistic contexts, on the seafronts or on the beach... but also in city parks. Let us not be ashamed to say the rosary and show that we have it in our hands. Summer often offers us a series of embarrassing and out-of-place situations and it will certainly not be a rosary clutched in one's hands that will create a scandal and arouse the attention of the curious..

Summer is that time when, due to the heat, we usually lighten up our clothing to be freer and enjoy a certain healthy well-being. If we think about it, we can make a similar comparison regarding the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Sin weighs us down, it suffocates us, it prevents us from enjoying Christ the sun of justice and truth and from living in the baptismal freedom of our children. Confession is the sacramental practice that removes sin from our lives, that concrete and deadly evil that suffocates the relationship with God and with brothers. Let's get used to confessing periodically, maintaining habitual constancy to always be free from the garments of evil and be clothed in the shining light of baptism which makes us forgiven children because above all loved.

Source and summit of the Christian's entire life and of the disciple it is the Holy Mass. Let's not abandon the connection with the weekly Easter in the summer months. Let's organize our time and commitments to participate first of all in the Sunday Holy Mass and, if we have the chance, we don't disdain going on some other day of the week too. Let us remember that the praise of the Lord - as well as the liturgy of the Church - lives on the note of gratuitousness and generosity. Let us not be stingy in desiring the encounter with Christ in the Eucharistic celebration, he is certainly not stingy with us when he gives himself to us in his most precious body, blood, soul and divinity.

Prayer, listening to the Word of the Gospel, reconciliation and Holy Mass are personal privileges that we must jealously and intimately keep to ourselves? Absolutely not, the Lord in sending us to announce the Kingdom and in caring for the world that the Father has entrusted to us does not leave us alone. It is he himself who provides us with the necessary equipment so as not to fail along the way and to support those we meet who need the Good News. Contemplate, adoring and praising the Lord constitute the first form of welcome that allows us to abundantly exercise that active charity, pastoral and mutual towards all that the blessed apostle Paul recommends to the Christians of Thessalonica [See. Ts 3, 12-13].

Wishing us happy holidays and good rest Let us hope first of all to be able to remain with Christ the Lord, he is the true beneficial sun from which to draw the strength to build significant bonds of grace with which to open a new relationship with the Father and brothers.

IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO CLAIM «I AM WHAT I FEEL I AM», BECAUSE IT MEANS IMPOSING THE WORLD OF THE UNREAL, OFTEN EVEN IN A VIOLENT WAY

There are unbearable blacks, some even dangerous criminals belonging to notoriously very violent ethnic groups? Yup, but pace of Latin semantics black people should not be referred to as "niggers", but as “men of color”. The word "nigger" is a racist expression.

I think a legitimate question: how come when they point to the White people (white men), they call us “whites” rather than “men of no color”? These niggas called "colored men", they are perhaps racist? How come it is racist to say niger (negro) but it is not to say bleach (bianco)? If in any European country, during an argument, one said to a black "dirty nigger", first it would end up in the media pillory, then before our courts on charges of racism, something on which one can also agree, given that there should not exist a contempt liable to the accusation of racism and a similar contempt considered instead only a heated expression coming out of the mouth during an argument, with the substantial and formal judgment which varies according to the color of the skin indicated. Or does anyone know maybe a case of some nigger shamed all over the press politically correct and then hauled off to a court on racism charges for telling someone “dirty white”?

Wanting to be fair, perhaps it would be appropriate to drag to the bar of the court even the African who addresses a European indicating him as white, or worse using the racist expression of “dirty white”. If in fact blacks are not blacks or negroes but "men of color", in turn we whites are not whites but "men without color", or if we prefer “men of non-dark coloring” or “men with bleached colors”. Then choose the most politically correct definition among these three, for so we should be called, in the same way that an African is not called a "negro" or "black" but a "colored man".

As for the various black populations of the African continent, it should be clarified that they are often very different from each other, roughly as a European from Norway may be from an Italian European native of the Calabria region. In this regard, the dictionary provides this indication:

«negroide, masculine and feminine adjective and noun [composed of negro and oide]. In physical anthropology, black bouquet, one of the two branches of the primary equatorial forms, including strains of steatopygids, of Pygmy and Negrids. In a generic sense (and often noun), of an individual who exhibits the characteristics of a Negro (very dark skin, camerrinia, prognathism, frizzy hair, dolicocefalia)» [cf.. Treccani Encyclopaedia].

But if we go to read the most unreliable encyclopedia of the entire globe, i.e. Wikipedia, where political correctness is often pushed to paroxysm and to the very denial of the foundations of the various sciences, including anthropological and biological ones, we can read:

“The term negroid or negride, sometimes congoid, indicates a now obsolete anthropological classification of’A wise man, definable starting from the shape of the skull and other craniometric and anthropometric characteristics: this term identifies the autochthonous human beings of sub-Saharan Africa» [cf.. WHO].

Come May quietly and silently certain American universities give black students of African-American descent easier entrance tests than those given to white students of European-American descent? It may be that this is in the same way that any white of European-American descent would have serious difficulty competing in certain sports competitions with African-Americans.? Worse than ever with pure Africans from certain particular populations of the Black Continent, notoriously favored in various sports by their happy physical conformation that we "men without color" do not have, due to our different genetics, because in many things we are inferior to them, endowed with abilities and physical resources that we do not have, including that vocal range that makes certain voices unique in singing, so much so that they are defined as black or negro voices precisely because of their particularity. Then, if some think it is possible and feasible to have Japanese compete against Cameroonians in a speed race with show jumping, let them do as well, but I fear that the results would be somewhat obvious, beyond ridiculous. In any case, the problem would not arise because the Japanese, mindful of their sizes but at the same time also of what could be certain of their physical limits in the face of other competitors, with the atavistic sense of honor they have they would never expose themselves to public ridicule. We Europeans, on the other hand, do, because we have long since lost the sense of human modesty, but even more that of shame.

Everyone is free to say that the greatest masters of philosophical thought and those of the main exact sciences were all born in the Congo, in Cameroon, in Togo, in Ghana, in Liberia and Burkina Faso, where archaeologists have discovered ancient sites that by engineering, architecture and artistic value far exceed those of ancient Egypt and the civilizations of the Incas and Aztecs, of the Etruscans, the Greeks and Romans. The undoubtedly tragic thing is that if someone said things like this before an audience of expert scholars and specialists, all will be silent and none of them will sigh. We ask: Why?

The most degenerate political correctness it even pushes us to believe in the existence of peoples and populations that no longer exist, for example the Egyptians and the Greeks. I understand both, considered the heritage linked to their lands, can boast certain ancient origins, however, the fact remains that the Egyptian civilization - and with it the Egyptians -, it has been extinct for centuries. Those who claim to be the current Egyptians are an Arab population; they have been since the "people of the sands", also known as Mohammedans, they invaded that region in the seventh century by making a clean sweep of what remained of that culture which for some centuries had already started a slow decline. The ancient Egyptian-Mohammedans were also lovers of big bonfires, because it was them, led by Caliph Omar, to set the final fire that destroyed the ancient library of Alexandria in 640. How centuries and centuries later it was Muslim jihadists who destroyed in August of 2015 the ancient archaeological site of Palmyra. It is true that those responsible for the destruction were Islamist fundamentalists, as Western masters of political correctness were quick to point out, but it is also true that these fundamentalists were Muslims anyway, as degenerate and unworthy as we like, but still Muslims. And at the completion of each of their criminal actions, including the filmed slaughtering of many Christian victims, they proclaimed themselves true followers of the Koran. All contrary to the much reviled Christians who never destroyed the ancient Roman and Greek pagan temples, they saved them by turning them into churches, bringing them to the present day.

Were true the black legend that the cruel conquerors Spanish, with just as many cruel Dominicans and Franciscans in tow, they destroyed the temples of those ancient civilizations, however, it remains to be understood why, in Mexico and Peru the archaeological sites are still intact and visible today. Why make up black legends and blame others, while not saying that many destructions were made by the local populations during the various civil wars that followed one another starting from the beginning of the 20th century, after the Spanish ceased to dominate those territories as their protectorates or colonies? With the Napoleonic invasion in 1808 the disintegration of the Spanish empire in South America began through the Spanish American wars of independence, the last of which in 1898, also known as the "great disaster". Not being able or wanting to say that the conquistadors, arrived in the Americas in the sixteenth century, found the Aztec civilization in an advanced state of decay and first of all prevented the continuation of the practice of human sacrifices, we prefer to continue spreading black legends about the Spaniards who arrived with Dominicans and Franciscans in tow who forced baptism on entire populations. The historical truth is quite different: to convert the indigenous populations of present-day Mexico in the 16th century, followed by those of Latin America, fu la Morenita Virgin, known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, which was not brought by the Spaniards, appeared to the young Aztec Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin. The same name "Guadalupe" is a term of Aztec origin that derives from Coatlaxopeuh and means "she who crushes the serpent". Also in this event the Spaniards, together with the trembling Dominicans and Franciscans they have nothing to do with it. Note also that in the Aztec culture the Quetzalcoatl it was the divine serpent that symbolized knowledge and warfare. So, she who crushes the serpent, in that ancient culture it symbolizes the defeat of war and the beginning of a new knowledge. That's who converted those ancient people, the Vergine Maria, not forced baptisms, always condemned and punished, moreover, by ecclesiastical law.

The present Egyptians they speak Arabic and write using the characters of the Arabic alphabet because in truth this was the original language they spoke in the 13th century. a.C. the Pharaoh Ramses II known as the Great, further proof of this are the internal inscriptions of the pyramids which abound in Arabic alphabetic characters, said not by chance: “cuneiform Arabic language”. Then, to the uninformed, it is enough to remember that Mohammed was inspired by the astral Egyptian hieroglyphics to understand exactly where to build Mecca.

The current Greeks they are more proud than ever of their history, feeling deeply and intimately so, pity they are not. If in fact by Greeks we mean the inhabitants of that geographical region, nothing to say, but taking into account that they are only geographically. The current inhabitants of that region are in fact Greeks in the same way that the inhabitants of that territory called Egypt are Egyptians. Therefore, the inhabitants of that region are heirs and descendants of the ancient Greeks in the same way that the Swedes are heirs and descendants of the inhabitants of Madgascar. In that geographical region called Greece the Turks dominated for four long centuries, from the 1453 al 1821. The ancient Greeks have left us a great heritage of art which bears witness to what was the morphology and physical conformation completely typical and characteristic of the men and women of that ancient people. The current Athenians boasting their ancient Greek far and wide, they should come to terms with a fact as simple as it is evident: whether he likes it or not, morphologically they are Turkish. Someone wants proof? It is enough to go for a walk through the streets of Istanbul and those of Athens to ascertain that there is no difference between the inhabitants of one city and the other, because the inhabitants of Istanbul are men of Turkish stock, just as the inhabitants of Athens are Turkish in their physical conformation, who after four centuries of domination claim to pass themselves off as descendants of the ancient Greeks, as if today they had the conformation and features of the sculptures of Skopas, Praxiteles and Lysippos. Free the Greek-Turks to feel exactly like the Riace bronzes, free at the same time any connoisseur of history, of anthropology and the art of laughing in his face at such claims.

We Italians don't have these problems, being one of the most bastard peoples in the world. Here is a comprehensive example: on one of our major islands, Sardinia, it is possible to see male figures of medium-short stature, stocky and heavy boned, dark haired and olive skinned, reminiscent of certain Muslims of the Kasbah of Algiers. At the same time it is possible to see blond men, tall in stature and with ice-blue eyes reminiscent of the Vikings of present-day Scandinavia. How is it possible, a naive Milanese on vacation asked an anthropologist from Cagliari, which with a great sense of humor he replied:

«Our grandmothers were very welcoming and hospitable women with all the foreigners who have visited our land over the centuries».

The late Indro Montanelli, when I was just 25 year old, with his sweet poison Florentine wit he told me:

«Italy has the geographical shape of a boot, but in actual fact it is comparable to a whore's bed, on which everyone lay down, making us the most bastard people in the world. This also has very positive implications, because, as is known, bastards - take dogs as an example - are more intelligent and also live longer than those of pure breed".

Smart and creative, I add, for better or for worse, but again with a difference: if we say that certain Neapolitans have carried out thefts and scams to deserve admiration, certainly not for the crime, of course, but for the ingenious ingenuity, this can be said, because it is allowed. If, on the other hand, it is stated that most of the gypsies - not some, but a large part of the so-called Roma ― live on theft and illicit trafficking, in this case one is accused of racism, all regardless of the sentences of the courts and the continuous recovery of stolen goods in the Roma camps. If in fact the Neapolitan carries out thefts and scams with rare ingenuity, he is a delinquent, but if a gypsy steals, in that case all the blame is involved, even the most unlikely ones, of society, according to the theses of that unfortunate ruiner of European legal thought Jean Jacques Rousseau, who gave birth in the eighteenth century to the theory of the so-called "noble savage". According to Roussean thinking, man was originally a “animated” good and peaceful and only later, corrupted by society and progress, both guilty, it has become evil. A very dangerous thought that is all the rage today and which often leads to the affirmation that those who commit crimes do not do it because they have chosen to pursue the path of crime, but because the fault lies with others, or worse than the whole society.

Soon said: the violent Negroes who, moved by tribal impulses, hack even women and children to pieces with machetes, they do not act out of criminal instincts moved by inhumanity, because their actions would be the cause of the colonial imperialism that has enraged them. Because, as known and known, before the arrival of the bad colonizers in the African Continent, they didn't butcher each other at all, but they lived peacefully as in an idyllic Paradise of Eden. And the colonizers were so ruthless and bad as to prohibit and prevent the practice of cannibalism widespread in many tribes together with human sacrifices. Among the many recent cases that deny those who identify the black man with the good, the victim and the exploited by the ruthlessness of the West, I mention the genocide in Rwanda which in the early 1990s produced around one million deaths in the tribal fights between the Hutu and the Tutsi. most of them women and children.

Data provided later by the National Bank of Rwanda, documented through thousands of international commercial transactions that approximately one million machetes used in the massacres had been imported through various channels and that the majority were Chinese-made. Bank transactions showed that they were purchased and paid for with funds allocated by various Western donor countries to support Rwanda's economic and social development. The allocation of funds stipulated that the money could never be used for weapons or other military materials. The agreement with the World Bank was even more restrictive and stipulated that the funds could not be used to import even civilian products, whether these were intended for military or paramilitary use. After careful investigations, the World Bank ascertained that the government of the dictator Juvénal Habyarimana (1973-1994) made use of World Bank funds to finance the importation of machetes from China, classifying it as an import of "civilian products" for non-military and non-para-military use. Anyhow, the bad, the "white man" remains in practice, while “the black man” is good, then, if it gets bad, the fault lies entirely with the West, certainly not of the impulses deriving from its never dormant tribal culture, that only another kind of culture has managed to put to sleep and in some cases even to defeat: Christianity.

The Arab-Egyptians they are free to feel like descendants of the ancient pharaohs just as the Turkish-Greeks can declare themselves descendants of the ancient Hellenic civilization. We can drag those who dare to say “nigger” instead of “black man” to the bars of the courts, obviously passing over the Negroes who call us “whites” with all the sunny obviousness of the case, because such we are: bianchi. We can continue to poison the thought of the decadent West with Roussean theories and believe that man is fundamentally good and that if he becomes evil, or delinquency, the fault is not his but the liberal-capitalist society.

In the same way, a man is free to feel like a woman, like the transsexual who won the Miss Universe prize in Holland a few days ago. Prize in front of which I admit that I too indulged myself on social media writing:

«After half a century of feminist struggles, finally a boy wins first prize in a beauty contest for women. An extraordinary success for us men!».

Faced with certain stubborn refusals of reality, often exercised even violently, sometimes even with coups of laws or with recourse to laws on unspecified "discrimination", anyone who reasons and intends to continue to do so, at first it can make her laugh, but after a reactive laugh he will immediately understand that in truth there would be crying.

I think it's legitimate and not at all racist and discriminating ask yourself a question: if a man decides to feel like a woman and to present himself in a beauty contest for women, as far as I'm concerned it's free to do so, as well as those responsible for admissions to the competition suffering from obvious idiocy, followed by a jury made up of obvious imbeciles, they are free both to admit a transsexual and to reward her as the most beautiful woman. But, in the same way, it should be just as legitimate, for example from me, ask a very ironic question, but truly innocent and above all realistic: if the newly elected Miss Universe dutch shemale was diagnosed with varicocele in her right testicle and needed surgery, of those to which even children are sometimes subjected, where we put it: in the gynecology department, in that she feels like a woman although biologically a man, or in the urology department, as in fact, although she feels like a woman, it's a man, enough to require a minor surgery on a testicle?

Any reasoning mind he understands well how insidious it is on a social level, political and juridical endorse the thesis that a person is not what he is in his physical and biological reality, but what he feels he is or believes or wants to be.

The words of Gilbert Keith Chesterton they ring prophetic more than ever, when in his work Heretics he wrote in the distant 1905:

"The great march of intellectual destruction continue. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones of the street; will become a religious dogma to reaffirm. It is a rational argument that it takes all immersed in a dream; will be a sensible form of mysticism say that we are all awake. Fires will be stoked to witness that two plus two equals four. Swords will be drawn to show that the leaves are green in summer. We will find ourselves defending not only the incredible virtues and the incredible sense of human life, but something even more incredible, this immense, impossible universe staring at us in the face. We will fight for visible wonders as if they were invisible. We will look at the grass and the skies impossible with a strange courage. We will be among those who have seen and yet have believed ".

And so, in case of necessity, we will admit Miss Universe in the gynecology ward and not in the urology ward, even if she has to be operated on for a varicocele in the right testicle, because what matters is not the objective and biological fact that she has testicles; what matters is that this trans feels like a woman and claims the right to be one.

We are falling into the world of the unreal, but no one wants to notice, who then realizes it is silent out of fear or for a quiet life, thus avoiding being accused of homotransphobia. Because what is true is not true, but it is true what the subject wants, what he feels and what he likes.

ANOTHER “RUNNER FROM HOME” RUNNING WITH THE SCHIMATIC HERETIC EXCOMMUNICATED AND RESIGNED FROM THE CLERICAL STATE ALESSANDRO MINUTELLA

Anyone despite the sentence given on them by the Church, listen to Mass and receive the sacraments from Mr. Minutella and by the priests who followed him, falling into the crime of heresy and schism, falls into sin and sins grievously, because the Church has hit them with a sentence.

Members of ancient historical orders they have always lived with discomfort and suffering for deviations and betrayals of the doctrine of the faith of some of their members, especially when they slip into heresy and schism.

Just looking at recent times: the Benedictines had the case of Giovanni Franzoni, the Franciscans the case of Leonard Boff, the Jesuits the striking case of Alighiero Tondi. All historical orders and congregations have had some of their members who have caused problems by deviating from the doctrine of the faith or generated public scandals. All regret and pain, undoubtedly, but at the same time it shouldn't even arouse excessive amazement, just think of the betrayal of Judas Iscariot.

As in the best families, it may happen that some children are endowed with the best human and moral capacities, while one, albeit born of the same parents and educated like everyone else, instead take the wrong paths, sometimes even bad.

This is the case of the Dominican priest Vincenzo Avvinti, who after various problems generated within the Order of Preachers was hit by the extreme measure of dismissal - read expulsion - from our Religious Family. I won't dwell on the reasons, not because he can't, but just because I don't want to. In fact, I would like it to be clear that for me it is an enormous pain that a priest whom I personally met years ago and whom I respected so much for his human and intellectual caliber, have now taken this step.

Unfortunately, this former confrere of ours he has decided to add damage to damage and evil to evil by following the schismatic heretic excommunicated e dismissed from the clerical state Alessandro Minutella.

I think it is right to inform about it both our Readers and members of the Dominican Secular Third Order, making present to one and the other what St. Thomas Aquinas said in the question n. 82 which for years has been distorted and manipulated by Mr. Minutella:

«And therefore whoever hears their Mass or receives the Sacraments from them commits a sin. (And therefore anyone who hears their Mass or receives the Sacraments from them sinsi) [see Latin and Italian text WHO].

Because I say that he has been twisting and manipulating this for years question? For the simple fact that, as usual, he cuts pieces out of their context and presents them making them say what they don't say. Indeed, this passage he quoted as a mantra, is preceded by the part where it says:

«It differs, however, between the aforesaid sects. For the heretics and schismatics were excommunicated by the decision of the Church by the execution of consecration to private persons» (However, there are some differences between these categories. Indeed the heretics, the schismatics and the excommunicated are deprived of the exercise of their powers by a sentence of the Church).

This is precisely the question. Mr. Minutella, with him also the former member of the Order of Preachers Vincenzo Avvinti, they are schismatic heretics who, as such, the Church has deprived with a sentence of the power to exercise the sacred priestly ministry. Therefore: «And therefore whoever hears their Mass or receives the sacraments from them commits a sin» (And therefore anyone who hears their Mass or receives the Sacraments from them sins).

Exactly like that: whoever, despite the sentence given on them by the Church, listen to Mass and receive the sacraments from Mr. Minutella and the priests who followed him, also falling into the crime of heresy and schism, falls into sin and sins grievously, because the Church has hit them with a sentence.

Staying in respect which is required of us by the Dominican Constitutions, but even more respectful of the salvation of souls ― which is the primary goal of our Order ― I offer this notice to our Readers praying for the conversion of this former brother of ours.

WHAT IS A KISS? THE APPARENT HOMOPHOBIA IN THE LAND OF CESENA IS NOT AS SERIOUS AS THE CROSS HISTORICAL IGNORANCE OF THE MAYOR DEM WHO USE THE TERM INCORRECTLY “MIDDLE AGES”

In the face of historical hoaxes such as those uttered by the Mayor of Cesena, the average listener of our century has very few weapons of defense. The rest, as Don Camillo said to Peppone: “If they believed in Carlo Marx, whatever dance you tell him will do!». And we're still here telling each other the lies that LGBT people, the Democrats of the Left and the various compagnucci bloggers they come to tell us, including perfect Catholics who flirt with LGBT circles and who would like to introduce the "rainbow trojan horse" into the Catholic Church

It's the news these days of a parish priest of the Diocese of Cesena-Sarsina who communicated to a young collaborator of his at Grest (Catholic Summer Group) the inappropriateness of continuing his role as educator of the parish summer center since on Instagram would appear in a photo that showed him in the act of kissing a boy.

Definitely the news it will have offended the sensibilities of more beautiful souls belonging to that group of perfect and democratic Christians who cannot remain silent, of those who are more good and merciful than Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and who tirelessly live to seek and affirm the well round Truth, whose iridescent heart could candidly borrow the poetics of Edmond Rostand that he says:

«And what is a kiss? A pink apostrophe between the words I love you, a secret told from his mouth».

A kiss, in conclusion, what is a kiss? Maybe nothing but in this situation the kiss is not the problem. Under the tip oficeberg there is much more than the kiss. And it is precisely this other thing that needs to be investigated and which is not convincing to me, for this I would like to briefly discuss the fact with our readers to try to give a transversal reading of the whole story which in my opinion raises many doubts and questions many consciences.

The first thing that doesn't convince me is that the young animator has not had the slightest hesitation to post on Instagram a photo in which he is portrayed kissing his boyfriend. And that's because? His homosexuality was known or this was just meant to be a provocative gesture? And if his homosexuality had in fact been known - which would have crossed not only the private and family aspect but also the social and therefore parish one -, why the surprise for a normal show of affection? Mind you, everyone is free to use i social as it sees fit, albeit within the limits prescribed by law, as well as expressing one's feelings towards another person. However, one would expect a different style in the use of gods from a Christian social as well as in the affective approach towards another person. And I say this by taking into account the normal contradictions and fragilities that constitute the struggle towards Christian perfection. Let's also admit that the boy didn't want to be a provocateur and thought it right to do so coming out instead of remaining in privacy and living his life in serenity. I wonder and I ask the Readers: this was the most appropriate thing to do, to post a photo on Instagram of a convict kiss which for obvious reasons would have been read or considered problematic? Since it is then a parish animator, of a person who, we hope, he followed a Christian path within an ecclesial community, this choice had no other alternative? I make a guess: Wouldn't it have been better for him to talk about it with his confessor or spiritual director and address the matter privately, in that internal forum that allows Christian conscience to grow and direct towards human and spiritual maturation? Today, many people assume that they are Christians without the help of any guidance, but in doing so, situations of embarrassment and confusion multiply, which are not the exclusive prerogative of homosexuals but of all men, because the root of this mentality does not lie in sexual orientation but in that lust which wounds our decision-making and makes us stubborn and often refractory to the spiritual docility which leads to an encounter with God.

That the young man then showed resentment and gave flat rate at Grest makes me think even more, just as his words in the Whatsapp chat are not clear to me:

"Good morning. I ask you personally to avoid any kind of incriminating or accusatory messages. This matter concerns my private life and must not affect the joy and happiness of the children in participating in the summer camp" (you see WHO).

I see myself as sceptical to believe that the boy was unaware that his choice would not lead to any reaction, both good and bad. I say this because it is not a discriminatory event against the homosexual world and gays but simply an event that affects all men in the world: every choice and position can be shared or not; endorsed or blamed.

After all, we know of cases in which - in front of the will of a boy to enter a seminary or convent - the parents, relatives or friends often delivered the teasing joke: "better dead than a priest or a friar". As far as we know, no one has ever been silent about clericophobia these people, on the contrary, they have often seen themselves strengthened in this teasing behavior, believing that becoming a priest or friar was really the greatest misfortune in this world. Faced with these assumptions, aspirants to a priestly life or one of special consecration have simply gone their own way, not caring about the judgment of others and pursuing their own intent, even when this would have led to a certain difficulty in managing family and friendship relationships.

You have no idea, we priests and friars, the insults that we sometimes hear thrown at us in the streets and public squares, if anything, even by teenage brats, when we cross them with the cassock of the secular clergy or with the habit of one's own religious order? Insults sometimes even very serious and defamatory. But we are not gay activists, because in that case lawsuits would be triggered and the powerful LGBT associations would also form a civil party in the process. Seriously insulting a priest or a friar on the street, on the other hand, seems to constitute a free and democratic expression of thought, the crime is triggered only if you make an ironic joke about the Gay Pride or on a tall transvestite 1.60 per 120 kg of weight that, ugly brother style of Lino Banfi, walks down the street in a platinum blonde wig, fishnet stockings and stiletto heels, perhaps just in spasmodic waiting for someone to shout "freak freak" at him, so that he can go cry of talk show in talk show against homotransphobia with all the LGBT activists screaming.

I consider the majority of homosexuals serene and intellectually free and devoid of any ideologization, do not worry in the least about what the Catholic Church thinks. They simply live the expression of their affectivity and of their being in a peaceful and reserved way, accepting the pros and cons of their own status, at the same time taking care to stay well away from the allegorical and blasphemous floats of the various Pride disseminated in the month of June of every single year.

If, on the other hand, we refer to homosexuals who have a faith and seek the Lord, the situation changes, above all they are called to love the Church and do not smear it with viperish insults, accusing ― even by means of social e blog - dad, the bishops and priests to be homophobic, as the custom of certain perfect Catholics who cannot keep silent. The Catholic homosexual is aware of the fact that it is necessary to carry on a journey of conversion - which begins in baptism and ends at the moment of death and is the same for all the disciples of Jesus who have certainly not been chosen among the best (cf.. Mt 9,36-10,8) ― which is made of prayer and spiritual accompaniment; of victories and falls; of temptation and grace; of torment and ecstasy. And how spiritual battles exist for the management and harmonization of one's genitals for a Catholic homosexual, so this is true for a Catholic heterosexual.

If, however, the paradigm of spiritual direction and accompaniment of homosexual people is embodied in the wretch - that is, devoid of grace - American Jesuit James Martin and not in the Magisterium of the Church and in Christ the Word of the Father, here we fall into the paradox of the Cesena affair whose results of an ideological colonization and lobbying are certainly not veiled, so much so that he can make the claim and the luxury of shouting scandal and becoming the injured party.

When I read about such piqued positions who cry foul in the face of alleged cases of homophobia, most of the time they seem comfortable positions to me. Often the same paladins gods Rights have little interest in homosexual people, if not on the basis of a functional use of them that tends towards the achievement of an objective, which requires a wise policy of symbiosis, so as to achieve victory and annihilate the imaginary enemy, so much to have - to put it with a Romagna proverb - the egg, the hen and the hot ass.

Thus we will find ourselves in ecclesial contexts full of LGBT activists and sympathizers who consider the Church a political majority to be opposed by democratically dismissing the things they don't like and going to occupy positions of power in order to be able to affirm omoeresia [on the subject I refer to the work of Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo: And Satan became triune and to my work and his From Prozan to Prozac]. But the Church, know this dear fellow Readers, it is not a democracy and absolutely does not need to rainbow suffragettes that go crazy on social media and on the videos of YouTube as perfect Catholics who cannot be silent, to which the epigraph written by Paolo Giovio on Pietro l'Aretino can be applied: «He spoke ill of everyone except Christ, apologizing by saying I don't know him".

It is worth remembering that there is a homosexual world, perhaps the most numerous, who manages to use reason and who knows how to recognize, with an uncommon sense of objectivity, the Church a welcome that very few places can boast, Houses of the People included. In fact, ask a gay man if in the seventies or eighties of the twentieth century he could even just set foot in a Casa del Popolo, when a certain left defended the traditional family with lots of party posters on display and stigmatized Pierpaolo Pasolini for his lifestyles resulting from the "typical pederasty of the upper middle class". In fact, this is what L'Unità wrote, official organ of the Italian Communist Party, in the edition of 29 October 1949:

«Let's take a cue from the facts that led to a serious disciplinary measure against the poet Pasolini to denounce once again the deleterious influences of certain ideological and philosophical currents of the various Gide, Sartre and equally praised poets and writers, who want to pose as progressives but who in reality gather the most harmful aspects of bourgeois degeneration».

While about André Gide, well-known French man of letters and homosexual, Palmiro Togliatti signing in 1950 a piece up Rebirth he wrote:

«To hear Gide, faced with the problem of relations between parties and classes, give everything as resolved by identifying the absence of opposition parties, in a classless society, with tyranny and related terrorism, I feel like inviting him to deal with pederasty, where is he a specialist, but leave these things, where he doesn't understand anything at all".

But let's go back to the young animator whom as Fathers we love, who has decided to express his freedom and his vision of affectivity together with the firm decision to pursue and defend it. For this he is worthy of our respect and we can only recognize his courage. But in the same way, the parish priest and the Diocese of Cesena Sarsina have the same freedom and the same right to decide to discipline their animators, trainers and catechists demanding a certain fidelity to the Church and to the magisterium regarding moral and faith questions.

In fact, it is not homosexual orientation who has been discriminated against here but the fact of living and publicly defending a dangerous LGBT activism within a context of the Catholic Church. Yup, because according to the Courier of Romagna (you see WHO) we learn of fractures within the parish following discontent brought forward by some parish activists (?!) to whom the magisterial thought of the Catholic Church on homosexuality is still not sufficiently clear. In that parish there is undoubtedly a basic educational emergency, a situation of confusion that in the future will have to be recovered and informed with a correct catechetical formation and with a charitable vigilance. Well done the parish priest who thought it best to discuss with the Diocese and ask for its support to reach a synthesis on the matter. At least for once there was a Bishop who knew how to exercise paternity by demonstrating that he kept the bar straight, at the same time demonstrating closeness to the young man for a situation that has become unfortunate since it was deliberately staged as a tabloid case. Behind it there is only the umpteenth attempt to affirm the LGBT ideology within the Church with the usual suspects who shot balls and chains on the obscurantist and retrograde priest, resorting to the by now worn commonplace of the Middle Ages: the Arcigay, the honorable Zan and the mayor of the Democrats of the Left of Cesena Enzo Lattucca.

From this whole thing, we reiterate it once again: the young man was not deprived of the possibility of organizing the Grest and of participating generously for the good of the little participants, he was only pointed out the inappropriateness of continuing as an animator and educator in the context of a summer oratory that is not sponsored by the Democratic Party, by Arcigay or the LGBT lobby, but by the Catholic Church which has the sacrosanct duty and right to consider what is right or wrong for anyone preparing to carry out an educational function which coincides with the proclamation of a creed of faith.

To conclude, i like to state that the apparent episode of homophobia in Cesena is nothing compared to the crass historical ignorance of its Primo Cittadino who uses a hackneyed argument borrowed from Black legend with the pretension of hurting the Catholic Church. You don't necessarily have to have the curriculum of studies by Franco Cardini or Alessandro Barbero to understand that what the Mayor of Cesena declared about the Middle Ages is clearly and profoundly false and intellectually unjust. In the Middle Ages to which the politician refers, the uncultured and illiterate people knew Dante Alighieri's rhymes by heart. A young merchant from the city of Assisi, he too came from the people and then rose to the rich merchant bourgeoisie, he composed the first poetic text in the Italian vernacular. The same people of the Middle Ages had mnemonic and speculative and reasoning skills that are completely unknown to the desolating masses of young and very young activists who follow the idiocies of Fedez, of Ferragni and the various influence, youtuber e TikToker and that the only verse committed to memory is Love is love. The people of the Middle Ages went willingly to listen for hours to preachers of the caliber of Anthony of Padua, Bernardino of Siena, Giovanni da Capestrano and Giacomo della Marca. That simple people but willing to admire and visually study Giotto's frescoes inside the ancient basilicas and which constituted the The Bible of the poor which not only educated to the faith but to social life, which exalted virtues and stigmatized error and vice. If there was today a minimal historical high school culture, it should be hoped that our populations affected by functional illiteracy and digital illiteracy can return to the Middle Ages as soon as possible, a long season that marked a great development of culture, of the arts and sciences, in addition to the recovery and conservation of all the classical philosophy and literature that has come down to us thanks to the men of the Middle Ages.

In front of historical hoaxes like those uttered by the Mayor of Cesena, the average listener of our century has very few weapons of defense. The rest, as Don Camillo said to Peppone:

“If they believed in Carlo Marx, whatever dance you tell him will do!».

And we're still here telling each other the lies that LGBT people, the Democrats of the Left and the various compagnucci bloggers they come to tell us, including perfect Catholics who flirt with LGBT circles and who would like to introduce the "rainbow trojan horse" into the Catholic Church (See. Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, WHO).
