The Bishop of Terni-Narni-Amelia at the cutting of the ribbon for the inauguration of the new Masonic Lodge

Faced with a fact of this kind my balls turn to the point that if they put me to soak in the port of Civitavecchia, after half an hour I would arrive in Cagliari pushed by my turbine balls [cf.. WHO].

.

And threatens who from God have had the grace to have two balls, fundamental and indispensable prerequisite for the ministerial priesthood, if necessary, they must know how to turn them, especially in the face of the colossal nonsense of certain bishops who have long competed with each other to see who commits the biggest bullshit, which the Holy See then oversees, provided that certain prelates speak in an obsessive-compulsive way of the poor and migrants.

.

There is no need to go back to the times of Blessed Pontiff Pius IX nor to those of the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII or of the Holy Pontiff Pius X, the much more recent Holy Pontiff John Paul II would have been enough, because he would have flogged this bishop with his own hand.

.
I have nothing to add, if not my most devoted regards to the President of the Italian Episcopal Conference and the Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, waiting for the now customary press release: «… the Bishop was misunderstood ". Although certain episcopal releases are not new, a confrere from Arezzo - still pissed off for this reason - told us that already in 2019 their Bishop was the guest of honor for the feast of the 150 years of the historic local Masonic Lodge [cf.. WHO].

.

We entrust the comment of this event to Roberto de Mattei, President of the Lepanto Foundation in Rome.

Elections 2022 - «I AM GIORGIA: I AM A WOMAN, I AM A MOTHER, I AM ITALIAN, I AM A CHRISTIAN ... AND I CONSIDER ABORTION AS AN "INVIOLABLE RIGHT"

A Catholic cannot sign a blank check without date and without amount to people who demonstrate that they have a completely distorted idea of ​​the very concept of human life, or who, in the face of the vote, pass over the right to life by speaking of the right to abortion.

It is indubitable that the Hon. Giorgia Meloni is a woman, a mother and an Italian, but I doubt she is Christian. He demonstrated this during the election campaign by reiterating to the various talk show that "Brothers of Italy would never have questioned the right to abortion" [Rete4: Straight and Reverse, 15.09, Fourth Republic, 19.09].

The PD bandwagon where many adult Catholics camp out radical chic who flirt with the Left of the post-proletarian freaks with the super penthouses in Parioli and the villas in Capalbio, it brings together fringes that have been fighting for years for euthanasia and marriage between same-sex couples, who complain of the excessive number of conscientious objecting doctors guilty of preventing the "sacred right" to abortion. Recently, the Piddine fringes have tried to pass a law that, behind the false banner of the crime of homotransphobia, would have effectively punished the crime of opinion. What if that law was passed as it was written, today we priests would be dragged from one court to another for having read the texts of the Blessed Apostle Paul in our churches or for having passed on what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches about certain spheres of morality. For now, the proposal has failed, by passing i gay friendly piddini From Prozan to Prozac, as Father Ivano Liguori and I explained in one of our books.

.

To hit Giorgia Meloni, woman with undoubted political talent, intuitive and intelligent, temperamentally amiable and great communicator, the Left have repeatedly accused her that the Brothers of Italy intended to strike the law 194 than in 1978 made the worst form of the death penalty legal in our country: the killing of children in the womb. Except then wave the rainbow flags shouting peace and love and tear his clothes if in the United States of America he is sentenced to the electric chair a serial killer. All in the name of "no to the death penalty always and in any case", except for the legalized death penalty for abortion imposed by mothers and carried out by serial killer operating legally in our hospitals.

.

A politician who from speech to speech, Of talk show in talk show states that abortion is a right and that as such it will not be touched ", the vote of the Catholics deserves it as much as the PD bandwagon with all its avid supporters of euthanasia deserves it, of the fight against conscientious objectors, marriage between same-sex couples, of the attempt to pass a liberticidal law which, under pretexts for the protection of the LGBT world, intended to establish the dictatorship of minorities through The coup of the politically correct, as our author Francesco Mangiacapra wrote in one of his splendid books.

.

Today we Catholics we are not even able to vote for the so-called least worst. And who would be the least worst, perhaps Cav. Silvio Berlusconi suffering from hypertrophic narcissism and delirium of omnipotence or the Sen. Matteo Salvini who changes his mind overnight? We fly over the grillini that should have redesigned an entire country, except to become worse than the old levers of the D.C.. and of the P.S.I, which at least were made up of men of great preparation and culture, or by authentic statesmen of great class and race like Bettino Craxi. A Catholic cannot sign a blank check without date and without amount to people who demonstrate that they have a completely distorted idea of ​​the very concept of human life, or who, in the face of the vote, pass over the right to life by speaking of the right to abortion.

.

Like the sound of the Pied Piper of Hamelin elections always end up bringing the mice out into the open, because you need votes to win them. And to get votes you need not so much pleasure, but please the worst of this world. However, a Christian cannot please what is bad, nor can it call the massacre of the innocent "intangible right", with the deafening silence of the very Catholic Elisabetta Gardini, also a candidate in the Brothers of Italy.

.

A person who has declared himself a Christian around all of Europe, but that before the elections it justifies itself for the sake of voting with repeated public confessions ensuring that "no one will touch the right to abortion", she qualified enough not to get the vote of the Catholics, even cost abstention or a canceled ballot inside the polling station. Without detracting from the high quality and capabilities of the On. Giorgia Meloni, which undoubtedly is Giorgia, is a woman, she is a mother and an Italian, but in the face of the vote she proved that she was not Christian at all. And of this Catholics are kept in conscience and take seriously, if some of them had wanted to choose the least worst.

A COUNTRY IS NOT SAVED WITH PROTEST VOTES. WHICH CATHOLIC ELECTORATE FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS THAT RISK TO BE THE NTH "BELLY VOTE"?

We are left with hilarious bitterness of our local politics boutade of some farce characters, iconic phrases more worthy of a walker than a statesman called to guard the good and the beautiful of a country: “We will open the Parliament like a can of tuna […] We're not here to spot the jaguars ". And between a can of tuna and a jaguar the 25 September is approaching and what Catholics are doing, what they think, where am I?

.

I am afraid that even the political elections the 25 September will no longer be the expression of a vote tummy that not of a real democratic feeling that takes the good of our country into due account. Which is why I am undecided whether to vote or not. For a priest, the vow is a serious matter of moral conscience, not just a civic duty enshrined in the Constitution.

.

A belly vote, how will that of the 25 September, we don't need it now, it has never and never will be used to build a balanced and sensible future. Anyone who still thinks that something could change from the next elections is very wrong, nothing will change, because politics - the real one, that of our Greek fathers - was designed not to change the system but to change man from within. As a presbyter I am allowed to say that man must be converted? Because this is the heart of the problem, the Pelagian effort of voluntarism is not enough. Man hardly educates himself, learning from their mistakes and its history, that most of the time he does not know and ignore. If it were that simple, we would have long ago stopped formulating and pursuing anti-human laws and policies, worthy of the most ruthless totalitarian policies that are repeated cyclically from time to time.

.

If we had paid more attention to history, we would have understood that the realities that truly improve the world all have the note of gratuitousness and non-repayable investment. I think, eg, to public health, to school and the world of education. School and healthcare are those magnificent realities in which you have to invest in generosity without expecting anything in return, because the fruits are not immediately visible but over time and the reward will certainly not be quantifiable in monetary figures but in better men, compassionate and wise.

.

We wanted to profit from hospitals transforming them into companies where it is good and nice to save on infirmities to increase the visibility of the manager on duty and where the pathologies are categorized according to a political and certainly not a clinical value. In the space of fifty years, schools have become the centers of an ideological tolerance in which students - less and less wise and proud of it - are not led to think with a critical sense and freedom. Indeed, it has been assumed that too much study was even deleterious, so it was necessary to introduce some alternation with work, in the illusion of planning a permanent job after high school. But even in this we have done worse, coming to conceive the mirifico income of citizenship that leads to the proof of facts to evaluate the study and work as disvalues ​​from which to beware of which it is possible to live only and only by claiming rights instead of getting busy in duties.

.

It was the rights to constitute the hinge of the all-Italian policy of the last ten years. Rights, we focus on rights, only and only rights! Forgetting the fact that to grow well the seed of any right must meet with the soil of duties, hard ground to work that requires the sacrifice of everyone.

.

For this reason I am convinced, both as a believer and as a presbyter, that the next elections will still displease most of Italy and that Catholic electorate that still remains there.

.

The entire political management was emblematic during the Covid-19 pandemic of both the last Draghi government and the two Conte governments. It was well highlighted how deep the dark barrel of Italian politics is, wound and wounding, it is called to scrape. In the last two years we have really come close to the popular uprising, as for the events in Trieste - something that would certainly have happened in a more realistic country than Italy - but not in Italy, we have always been the champions in the separation with reality, so as to put a patch on everything and make us like it, up to connivance with evil.

.

Even in the face of this important detachment from reality, I am convinced that there are still many good people in Italy: there are, they exist and will also exist in the future, but they are sufficiently sensible not to enter the vortex of politics that appears like that Count Ugolino who does not skimp on devouring his children. Well aware of the mechanisms of political power, they keep Socratically away from the lure of tyrants, who virtuously declaim examples of credibility, honesty and incorruptibility but which eventually become corrupted by the end of those famous mountain fifes that went to play and were played.

.

Of our own politics we are left with hilarious bitterness boutade of some farce characters, iconic phrases more worthy of a walker than a statesman called to guard the good and the beautiful of a country: “We will open the Parliament like a can of tuna […] We're not here to spot the jaguars ". And between a can of tuna and a jaguar the 25 September is approaching and what Catholics are doing, what they think, where am I? Yup, where am I? Not in the sense of their political weight which is non-existent (there is no longer a true Catholic politician since the time of Giorgio La Pira) but at least as believers where they are? Which direction are they called to choose in order to avoid conniving with certain structures of sin? Unfortunately, we have already experienced this, there is a serious danger that politics, free from everything and everyone, can become corrupted into a structure of sin, enemy of God and man, and fall into that original sin in which truth and virtue are excluded. Faced with the obsessive concern to make politics secular (and politicians) we have come to forget the areté (virtue), the sacred virtue par excellence that every politician and politician should pursue.

.

St. Thomas More, a Catholic politician too, was well aware of the danger for a believer of living in a corrupt state and of the need to resist as believers, as the evil of the rulers affects not only one part of the nation but all its members and what is objectively evil for one part is also evil for the other. Says St. Thomas More:

.

“If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us holy. But since we see that greed, anger, pride and stupidity commonly yield much more than charity, to modesty, justice and wisdom, maybe we need to keep a little steady, even at the cost of being heroes ".

.

Avarice today, anger, pride and stupidity are the guidelines within which the plots of a belly vote will be woven that will end up creating discontented and deceived citizens. Let us not be under any illusions, today even those parties that are built around the cornerstones of alternative thought and the anti-system and that insist on the abolition of GreenPass, on the end of the vaccination obligation, on the reintegration of those suspended from work, on the position of the war in Ukraine, on expensive bills, they will stop in front of the non-negotiable values. And what should a Catholic do? Pinch your nose and choose between the worst and the slightly less worst? But even no!

.

It is self-evident that no party that matters (not zero-point ones) will dare to say anything about non-negotiable values essential for a believer, because they are well aware of reducing their electorate. Faced with important issues such as abortion, the end of life, assisted suicide, the legalization of soft drugs, LGBT issues such as parties can be said to be truly anti-system? Which parties will marry charity, to modesty, justice and wisdom in their electoral program? Certainly not the current center-right whose current coalition is as embarrassing as that of the center-left. Just look at a few talk-show to hear how many male politicians, but above all women candidates in those parties that virtually would even refer to Christian values, they become as soft as butter in the sun on certain very sensitive subjects, they put their hands forward and promptly justify in a decisive and reassuring way that the Law 194 do not touch. Some even let slip that it is an "acquired right", implied: intangible! And these would be the parties and their respective candidates who would like to try to court the lost one, confused and disheartened Catholic electorate? And don't expect salvation even from the new coalitions that have sprung from the tormented gestation of a time of pandemic, where the Masaniellis went to waste, some years and they will be clones of the former Five Star Movement.

.

As Christians there is nothing else left which makes sense to do if not to pray, with that same request that the blessed apostle Paul made to Timothy:

.

«I recommend you therefore, first of all, asking questions, pleas, prayers and thanks for all men, for kings and for all those in power, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity " (1TM 2,1-2).

.

We have to pray - as we do in the universal prayer of Good Friday - so that those who are called to govern the civil community may be enlightened by the Lord in their minds and hearts so that the common good is reached, to true freedom and peace. We have to pray, asking the Lord for the strength to promote a Christian policy that changes man from within and not the system. A politics of virtue, in which the beautiful, the good and the true inspire the rulers to something more than an armchair and an annuity. I don't know if it will be possible but we have already hit rock bottom, so what do you say, at least we try?

THE CHURCH AND THE CRISIS OF THE SACRED: THE EUCHARIST IS THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST AND THE HOLY MEMORIAL MASS INCRUING THE CALVARY SACRIFICE

In the letter of the 7 April 1913, Padre Pio da Pietrelcina wrote to his spiritual director Padre Agostino da San Marco in Lamis describing the mystical experience he had witnessed, where the weeping Lord Jesus complains of his priests calling them "butchers" precisely in relation to the celebration of the divine sacrifice and the provisions with which it was celebrated.

The story of the Ambrosian priest Mattia Bernasconi and his idea of ​​celebrating Holy Mass at sea, as I have already dealt with in the past in my previous articles [see who, who, who], showed very well the level of weakness of the The sense of Faith circulating today among the clergy and the faithful. On the contrary, precisely because the clergy are the first to be deficient in The meaning of Faithi, of Tradition and knowledge of the Magisterium, the faithful feel entitled to behave accordingly, distilling their faith within a creed that is the result of an emotional drive and corporate solidarity.

.

By the grace of God, after some time of inexplicable silence, the Archbishop of Milan has his say and says it with the authority of a pastor whose purpose is to defend the People of God entrusted to him against the shipwrecks of faith and sound doctrine. In spite of all those beautiful souls who for some time have defended the horrendous antics of putting into the sea with the sword, complaining of stiffness, ignorance and judgment all those who - including us priests - have had to say and have reacted ... because you know, in the Church there are other problems, the important things are certainly not these. Poor us!

.

Just take an excerpt from the press release of the Ambrosian prelate [see who] to understand how much this Brother was wrong, so much so that he forced his bishop to such expressions:

.

«I believe that Don Mattia's way of celebrating is nonsense without justification […] It will be a duty for Don Mattia to seriously resume liturgical training that allows us to understand how this behavior was possible and to prevent it from happening again ".

.

As always the painful point it is given by the formation of the clergy, to always be taken care of and to be checked periodically over the years. Ignorant clergy leads to the consequence of an ignorant laity, in the etymological sense of the term. It is not only a problem of dogmatic theology that informs liturgical and pastoral theology but above all of an immersion in that dimension of mystery which touches the very heart of God and constitutes its spiritual texture..

.

All the sacred mysteries, in the first place The holy Mass, they allow man to touch the action of the Holy Spirit in his own creaturality, working out salvation. If we don't allow the Holy Spirit to speak to us through the sacred mysteries, nobody will. The spirit of the world is unable to reinvigorate the withered bones of a God-forgetful life [cf.. This 37,1-14], it distorts everything in disordered emotionality, in do it yourself compulsive and sectarian solidarity, all things that cannot find a justification in the Church, especially when you push yourself to the limit of sacrilege.

.

I think it is useful and constructive re-read some of the many comments of the "faithful" that appeared on the profile Facebook by Mattia Bernasconi, as well as in that of other presbyters. For example Giovanni Berti, the cartoonist priest of the clerically correct who immediately ran to the defense of his Milanese brother by making drawings to this. Here are some of the more interesting comments:

.

«I am on the side of the priest who made the mass on the mat. And I defend it. God can be found everywhere, even at sea […] total solidarity with Don Mattia and his authentic testimony […] Don Mattia was and is also authentic in apologizing. The young priests who are nostalgic for the Council of Trent and who celebrate in Latin terrify me […] Mattia you haven't done anything wrong! I hope that the support of those who love you will give you strength and comfort you! […] Don Mattia the true word of God is practiced in this simple and humble way, we are all with you […] But Jesus must have been happy to be celebrated in such a context and then maybe someone who hadn't been to mass for a long time, he had a chance to remind those who have criticized it only out of envy, not to have the courage or the imagination to do it to them! How much hypocrisy… how many Taliban we have in the church […] Thank you Don Mattia for yet another teaching you have given me. The essence […] But apologize for what??? Offended who? Of zotic people? It does not seem to me that Jesus went to preach the faith around in a suit and tie had an altar all in gold!

.

There is also a letter from a certain Don Paolo, entitled: "The mattress of the scandal and the Catholic dinosaurs", whose contents are comparable to those learned during a course online in theology, whose dogmatic teacher is the magician Oronzo. I am not here to open any debate on these expressions that speak for themselves and that, as I said earlier, they are just a mixture of emotionality and corporate solidarity. but yet, the tragic nature of a non-existent Eucharistic faith is evident and leaps to the eye, the lack of understanding for the violation of the mystery of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord combined with a luciferian denial of sin that nullifies any possibility of recovery of the offender and of recognition and expiation of the guilt. In short, to hear these testimonies, Mattia Bernasconi is more devoted to the Eucharist than Saint Pasquale Baylon, patron of Eucharistic congresses.

.

My intent with this further article on the subject is to publicly reiterate to the Presbyterian Confreres and to the Venerable Bishops that our faithful have completely lost the sense of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Just as they have lost the meaning of the Eucharistic celebration of Mass as a bloodless memorial of the sacrifice of Calvary. And this is because of us priests! Definitely, if we still want to save the least that can still be saved, we must start afresh from the Eucharist, both as a mystery revealed by the Lord Jesus and as theological understanding and reflection within the Magisterium of the Church. Start from the basics, starting with children, educating their hearts to know how to see Jesus, to be with him in the Sacrament. My experience as a priest of the Order of the Capuchin Friars Minor, for years chaplain in a large hospital, today parish priest of a parish annexed to our Sardinian convent in Laconi, is the one that tells me that children easily fall in love with the Sacrament of the altar if we adults know how to provide them with the bare minimum to understand its mystery and the dignity of greatness. In my opinion, the concepts of faith in the Christian faithful should not be burdened and multiplied if they are not yet able to assimilate its essentials. The Eucharistic presence of Christ adored and proclaimed real in the celebration of the Holy Mass becomes the hyphen that allows me, at a later time, to have a more dilated and pure look, almost mystical, to see the Lord present in the poor, in the sick and in all the brothers I will meet.

.

The hours of Eucharistic adoration, which in parishes are increasingly disappearing, they represent the real training ground in which to recognize the living Jesus. A Christian who does not worship and praise is a weak Christian. A priest who in his spiritual life does not feel the need to stand before Jesus in the sacrament is a bureaucrat and if he is also in the care of souls and does not peel his knees in front of the tabernacle he endangers his apostolic mission, his spiritual health and weakens the flock entrusted to him.

.

If we were to observe the awareness of the presence of the Lord in most of the faithful who cross the entrance of a church, we will see some good ones: how many of them enter with decorous and not skimpy clothes? How many turn off their mobile phones or silence it out of respect for the Blessed Eucharist and out of respect for those present who are already in prayer? How many look for the red lamp that signals that the church is inhabited by the Eucharistic presence of the living Christ? How many kneel, once you get to the counter, and recite the prayers of praise and reverence to the Holy Eucharist like those taught by the holy doctor Alfonso Maria de 'Liguori or say a heartfelt "May the Most Holy and Divine Sacrament be praised and thanked every moment" ending everything with a doxology? How many of those who enter the church, they hurry to seek the comfort of the person of Christ in the tabernacle instead of hurrying to look for the wooden or plaster statue of the saint on duty, not understanding the substantial difference between simulacrum and real presence, between the worship of latria, dulia and iperdulia?

.

And this could be just the beginning of a long collective examination of conscience that involves the faithful and priests together. We can go further by analyzing the Holy Mass: those who arrive on time so that the celebration can begin with the entrance song and end it with the final song? How many are the faithful still convinced that the Holy Mass is valid if it has arrived at least before the proclamation of the Holy Gospel? How many, during the consecration and elevation, they know how to look at the Body of Christ in the white host and the chalice with wine, Blood of the Lord? How many still firmly argue that to receive communion at Holy Mass just one Act of Pain without the need for any prior sacramental confession, even if you are aware of having failed to some commandment? How many are convinced that to receive sacramental Communion the only passionate desire that makes people say "I felt like taking the Eucharist" forgetting a Christian life that excludes habitual sin, the conditions of moral disorder and the impediments of conscience that would need a profound healing? How many are the faithful who present themselves to receive Communion from the priest only for baptisms, weddings and funerals, thinking that that communion thrown there is a duty due to etiquette and not as a response of faith? How many still go to Communion with candy or chewing gum in their mouths? How many still approach with contempt and derision, with no awareness of who you are going to receive? How many challenge the Church and the priest who distributes the Eucharist considering Communion as a proper acquired right? How many public advocates or defenders of positions such as abortion, l'euthanasia, divorce, coexistence, drug use, marriages outside the natural law, war and all those cases in which division abounds, hostility and oppression of the weakest today approach Communion with evident sacrilege?

.

It seems normal to you affirm that, after all these inconsistencies, we can still believe in a serious and mature way in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist? The marine mass of Crotone is the tip of theiceberg of a pathological sacramental malaise that is affecting everyone.

.

And when you point out this incompatibility, even with force, immediately you become one who judges, a betraying Judas or an anachronistic Catholic "dinosaur". Today these accusations become the most immediate way to discredit the adversary and defuse the goad towards the sanctity that is required of those who want to cross the narrow door [LC 13,24]. With this antidote, the prosecution charge, we get rid of any bigot, just as in politics the word fascist is used and in the LGBT community the word homophobia to silence opposing dissent.

.

As a Capuchin friar I would have a good game in reminding everyone of the position, in relation to the Holy Mass, by Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. His, stigmatized priest, to each Eucharist that he celebrated or attended he relived on his flesh and in his soul the terrible pangs of the passion of the Lord Jesus with vivid realism. In the letter of the 7 April 1913, Padre Pio wrote to his spiritual director Padre Agostino da San Marco in Lamis describing the mystical experience he had been a spectator of, where the weeping Lord Jesus complains of his priests calling them "butchers" precisely in relation to the celebration of the divine sacrifice and the provisions with which it was celebrated. I wanted to cite an example dear and close to me, but I could go on to list other saints such as Blessed Carlo Acutis, eg, and other memorable pages in the history of the Church in which the importance of the celebration of the Eucharist and the Body of the Lord is reaffirmed.

.

I'm not doing this to provoke a lynching of anyone, something that I would be careful not to do being a sinner more than the others but, Alas, I was also credited with this intention by someone who has read my latest articles, not just misinterpreting them, but just completely distorting them.

.

Dear Brothers in the Priesthood and Venerable Bishops, I consider true and right the ministerial duty to affirm that when the limit of decency is exceeded in such a clear way with regard to the Most Holy Eucharist and the Holy Mass, as happened in Crotone, it takes the right indignation, the due reparation and the courage of fatherhood. Yup, knowing how to use virile paternity with immediacy and authority, that neither the Archbishop of Milan nor that of Crotone have been able to do immediately. As he said in 1972 the Venerable Father Divo Barsotti preaching the spiritual exercises to the Roman Curia under the invitation of Paul VI:

.

"The Church has been endowed by God with a coercive power that she must exercise if necessary because if she does not exercise it, both the charity and the mandate that Christ has given her are lost".

.

And as a father in front of the son who is wrong he does not strive with firmness and mercy, as we read in Hebrews [cf.. 12,5-11], so that this is repentant and not lost? Because it is from the correction that underlines the error that the charity is born that recovers the one who makes mistakes and surrounds him with mercy. For this reason we must not be afraid to affirm with the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church that:

.

"Our Savior at the Last Supper, the night he was betrayed, he instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood, with which to perpetuate over the centuries, until his return, the sacrifice of the cross, and to entrust thus to his beloved Bride, the church, the memorial of his death and resurrection: sacrament of piety, sign of unity, bond of charity, Easter banquet, in which Christ is received, the soul is filled with grace and the pledge of future glory is given " (See. CCC n.1323).

.

Who helps us in this understanding of the Eucharistic mystery are our priests who are not masters but servants without ulterior motives:

.

“They exercise their sacred function in the Eucharistic cult or assembly, where is that, acting in the person of Christ and proclaiming his mystery, they unite the vows of the faithful to the sacrifice of their Head and in the sacrifice of the Mass they make present and apply, until the coming of the Lord, the only sacrifice of the New Testament, that is, the sacrifice of Christ, who once and for all offers himself to the Father as an immaculate victim. From this one sacrifice all their priestly ministry draws its strength " [cf.. CCC n.1566].

.

In the daily liturgical diakonia at the service of the altar made up of gestures, rites, signs and symbols, the priests, they celebrate the Eucharist in which the Lord renews his Easter redemption from sin and death in favor of man. This ritual language needs an appropriate space, that it is worthy of the greatness of the mystery that is celebrated in it. Therefore the Holy Mass:

.

«Let it be done in the sacred place, unless in a particular case necessity requires nothing else; in which case, the celebration must take place in a decent place " [cf.. Sacramentum n. 108 and Code of Canon Law, Can. 932 § 1; cf.. S. Congress. for the Cult Div., Istr., Liturgical establishments, n. 9: AAS 62 (1970) p. 701].

.

Like this, celebrating with lively faith and in a worthy way the Holy Mass, the priest and with him the Church, realizes what St. Ambrose Bishop of Milan says about the real presence of the Body of the Lord:

.

«This bread is bread before the sacramental words; ma, intervening the consecration, the bread becomes Christ's flesh […] From which words the consecration is made and whose are these words? Of the Lord Jesus! All the things that are said before that moment are said by the priest who praises God, pray for the people, for kings and for others; but when it comes to fulfilling the venerable sacrament, the priest no longer uses his words, but of Christ. It is therefore the word that operates (traverses) the sacrament […] See how effective it is (operator) speaking of Christ? Before the consecration there was no Body of Christ, but after the consecration, I tell you that the body of Christ is now there. He said and it was done, he commanded and was created (cf Shall 33, 9)» [See. Ambrogio, Of the sacraments, IV, 14-16 (PL 16, 439 ss].

.

With the last and definitive word of the Archbishop of Milan, on the story of the Mass of Crotone, we are moving towards the end of the summer 2022. Summer is ending, the Righeira Brothers sang in 1985, for us it would be enough that these liturgical and dogmatic oddities were to end, with the hope that in this period the bishops will be a little closer to the priests and a little less to the polls and politicians, since we still believe that Christ is the one and only Redeemer of humanity.

THE GERMAN SYNOD, BETWEEN ROMANOPHOBIC LUTHERANISM AND LESBIAN THEOLOGISTS WHO PURPOSE TO OVERRIDE THE CATHOLIC DOCTRINE

Or the Holy See learns from history and proceeds to bestow a solemn and salutary volley of beatings on the Germans, or this farcical synod will continue until the end with all the consequences that will derive from it, acting as a horrid and grotesque outlet for a handful of nasty lesbian theologians who are piloting it too much.

The problem is not to say badly, as I am sometimes accused of doing, but tell them true. And when they are said to be true, one should overlook the strong way in which it is sometimes necessary to say them. Otherwise, the accusers will fall into Pharisaism, attaching itself to the form or the colorful word, to evade the substance and all the facts with which they do not want to deal, because it would involve taking responsibility and taking action.

.

As a priest I lived and studied in Germany and when we say the German Catholic Church, I think I know a little about what we are talking about. I wrote about it in alarmed tones in the now distant 2011 in my book And Satan became triune, narrating how advanced was the state of Protestantization of the Catholic Church in many regions of Northern Europe, stating that a de facto schism was in progress that only needed to be made official. I pointed out that a swollen river was coming down from Northern Europe and that it would soon overwhelm our local Churches as well, especially the Italian one, subject for over half a century to the worst German theological drifts, because everything that is not German is not worthy of being called theological on our homeland. For this thanks to the deceptions of the Jesuits of the Pontifical Gregorian University, loving grandchildren of Karl Rahner, which had inevitably on the Supreme Pontiff Paul VI - revealed in this naive - the Roman School was destroyed, whose center was the Pontifical Lateran University, with great and extraordinary theologians of the caliber of Pietro Parente, Antonio Piolanti, Pier Carlo Lad … all reduced to silence in the "glorious" period of the post-council dialogue in the 1970s. The last exponent of the Roman School was Antonio Livi (cf.. WHO). A decade later, Paul VI himself, he complained and feared that "the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God through some crevice" (full text WHO). I wonder why, above all: who threw open the doors to him?

.

History teaches that the barbaric spirit always survives in the anthropological memory of the German people. He also teaches, the story, that the Germans cannot be patted on the little hand with a smile on their lips saying "bad guy this way you don't, otherwise mammina suffers ". They are beaten to death and left on the ground with broken bones after being humiliated. At that point they subside for the following decades. Then little by little they go back to pulling their heads up again, with the same spirit and the same arrogance. At that point, more healthy beats will be needed. Some might think that my talk is gratuitous and inappropriate violence. Never, it is simply prudent and legitimate defense of the European peoples. The pacifist candid souls fast to know, instead of tearing his clothes at the cry rainbows Of peace and love rather study history, because in this way they will understand all the reasons for my saying, starting from the price paid by Europe and the whole world for German psychology since the 1930s.

.

The Germans are the great pissed offs of Europe because in fact they have always been the big losers in the history of our Old Continent. Or it appears to anyone that they have ever won a war? At the end of the First World War they were humiliated at the negotiating table in Versailles. Years later they reared their heads with ominous deeds that produced consequences never seen before. At the end of the Second World War they found themselves with their country razed to the ground and reduced to starvation. As for today, I spread a merciful veil, because there would be a lot of talk about the human and moral sense of the "civilized" Germany in which no one would ever throw a cigarette butt in the garden of a public park, however, there are private clinics in which organs are transplanted whose origin is unknown, something that in uncivilized Italy could never happen, with the strict restrictive laws we have, but above all for that sense of humanity that has not yet completely abandoned us. Overflight on economic ethics, because this is not the place to discuss it, let's just say that Germany years ago gave China the ropes with which Europe will soon be hanged.

.

In the season of synodal drunkenness this phase has also begun in Germany, before the opening of which I said that the result would be attacks on Catholic doctrine and the deposit of faith that would make Martin Luther pale, let's not forget he was Catholic. Heretic, but Catholic. Most of the bishops, of German priests and faithful, Catholics have not been so for some time, they were not really born there and as such they were not formed and raised, while Luther did, lo fu. Those who are improperly defined as "German Catholics" are for the most part Christians who are much more affected by Luther and above all by Calvin, instead of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

.

Never open Pandora's boxes in Germany, because giving them a synod will end up producing the best of the worst of their never-dormant Romanophobic spirit.

.

Now the Holy See laments and publicly declares that the initiative underway in Germany "has no power to force bishops and faithful to new ways of governing and new approaches to doctrine and morals" [cf.. WHO]. For this he invites them to re-enter the ranks of the correct synodal path of the universal Church. In short: they hit his little hand with a smile on their lips saying "bad guys.", this is not done, otherwise mammina suffers ".

.

What the Holy See expected from such a jumble of subjects now self-styled Catholics? Obviously, the synod - as it immediately happened - would have been the pretext for throwing up against Rome by demanding everything about which it is not even allowed to open discussions and let alone carry them out.: abolition of priestly celibacy, priesthood to women, or at least the diaconate, derubrication of the sin of sodomy, blessing of gay couples, evaluation of particular cases in which abortion or euthanasia could be lawful, total openness to contraception and so on and so forth.

.

Applying certain logics we could question, vote by majority and abolish various precepts of the Holy Gospel, because, according to many, they no longer conform to the present times and the needs of the contemporary world. Exactly what tragic is happening with this local German Synod, where with all the worst arrogance a horde of sour feminists are allowing themselves to discuss what the Church just cannot discuss, because he has no authority to do so. Not only and not so much they demand the questioning of the legitimacy of the priesthood to women, blessings to gay and lesbian couples who decide to "get married" justifying everything with an unspecified “love”, because what they are actually claiming is that the Church declares that what it has hitherto considered mortal sin is in truth good, therefore that you declare that you have erred in retrograde spirit by making amends and not even opening the doors, but literally spreading the legs.

.

Then we want to add more, admitted it is lawful to say it clearly and truthfully without being overwhelmed by complaints from the radical circles LGBT? I note that the feminist theologians who for years have been setting fires and flames in the little Catholic that remains in various countries of Northern Europe, for the most part they are full-blown lesbians and many live with their partners. Only a double agent like Cardinal Reinhard Marx Metropolitan Archbishop of München - who until the first ten days of February of 2013 he was more Ratzingerian than Benedict XVI, except to become more Bergoglian than Francis I three months later - he could allow such tomboys to create disorder and disturbance within the German Church by giving them space, voice and a stage of release during a synod. But then it is known: if according to the theories of Sigmund Freud the woman suffers from unconscious envy of the male penis, the lesbian Teutonic theologian suffers from the envy of the priest.

.

So let's take some examples relevant and real: it is true that in the biblical narrative it is specified that God created them male and female (cf.. Gen 1, 26-28), but those were other times. Today, the needs of gay and lesbian couples who want to marry between man and man are quite different, between woman and woman, claiming the approval and blessing of the Church, or the triumphal baptism of babies purchased from so-called rented wombs, with all the gotha LGBT lined up in the church, not because he is interested in anything about Holy Baptism, but to exploit a sacrament for the sole purpose of demonstrating that he has bent Catholicism to its own moral disorders, or worse to their aberrations, as in the case of babies commissioned to so-called rented uteri. Since, however,, at the time, the Almighty Creator could not be updated, it will be appropriate that the precepts, the divine word and God himself are correct. Because God was wrong to create only male and female without foreseeing the other variants, likewise Jesus Christ was wrong to confer the priesthood only on men, rather, perhaps he was also a bit misogynist. But what kind of Almighty and Omniscient he is, this clumsy God the Creator so devoid of future prospects? Luckily there is a compact group of German lesbian theologians ready to correct him in the context of this Synod.

.

O the Holy See learns from history and proceeds to deliver a solemn and salutary volley of blows to the Germans, or this farcical synod will continue until the end with all the consequences that will derive from it, acting as a horrid and grotesque outlet for a handful of nasty lesbian theologians who are piloting it too much.

.

I know perfectly well that certain things I say and express them badly, however I say them true and without easy pain of denial. I just hope I don't get another lawsuit from some radical association LGBT, Why I already have one in progress at the competent Court. And neither the Holy See nor the Italian Episcopal Conference would ever give me a contribution towards my court costs, they are too busy investing money in welcoming Muslim migrants who then piss as a sign of contempt in the fonts of historic churches in Rome and who occasionally vandalize some around Italy.

.

Or maybe you don't know why from all the historic churches of Rome and beyond, they removed the holy water from the fonts? Covid-19 has nothing to do with it, they were already emptied a few years before the pandemic. Simple why: several Muslim migrant brothers were repeatedly filmed by surveillance cameras documenting everything. When it went well inside the fonts they washed our underpants and socks, others as a sign of gratitude for the loving welcome of our far-sighted Italian Episcopal Conference, they pissed directly into it.
