"AT CHRISTMAS YOU CAN": THE DERIVATIVES OF SUPER CATHOLICS SEEM LESS SERIOUS THAN THOSE OF CERTAIN BISHOPS

.

It seems superfluous to remember, however in times of functional illiteracy it is good to reiterate this. The intervention of the Bishop of Pistoia cannot and must not be included within the eternal diatribe of logic between pro-wax versus no-vax. It informs a pastoral sensitivity that is becoming more and more opaque, so much so that it is assimilated to that pale way of doing politics that ends up being distant from the people.

«At christmas you can…» who does not remember the famous song that entered the homes of Italians like jingle advertising of a well-known confectionery product? Certainly many. Well, today I feel like dedicating this jingle a S. AND. Mons. Fausto Tardelli bishop of Pistoia, that this Christmas he could - the conditional is a must - have the smell of his flock on him, of that too no-vax, but who preferred to use the stick of politics rather than that of the pastor to create a in paliaton highly respectable to be addressed to the Pistoia faithful who are reluctant to use the serum.

.

The harsh stance of the Prelate of Pistoia on the faithful no-vax it appeared in the diocesan weekly Life in the address book At the tip of the pen [you see WHO e WHO] but which from today it would be more appropriate to rename On the foil tip, given the Bishop's pastoral jab at those faithful who were reluctant to get vaccinated.

.

«At Christmas you can…» make a good impression, but this is not the case of the Bishop in question who - poor soul - prefers to appear stunned, amazed and even embarrassed for those Christians who take such positions - read no-vax - and who regularly attend his diocesan church.

.

I can't think of a more unbalanced position and crazy about this one, which perhaps risks appearing even worse than that assumed by the Bishop of Tempio-Ampurias, S. AND. Mons. Sebastiano Sanguinetti, who asked for compulsory vaccination for the clergy and faithful of the Gallura diocese [you see WHO].

.

It seems superfluous to remember, however in times of functional illiteracy it is good to reiterate this. The intervention of the Bishop of Pistoia cannot and must not be included within the eternal diatribe of logic between pro-wax versus no-vax. It informs a pastoral sensitivity that is becoming more and more opaque, so much so that it is assimilated to that pale way of doing politics that ends up being distant from the people. For this reason I am convinced that it is necessary to delve deeper than what appears from a simple reprimand in a diocesan newspaper.. It would be at least wise and reasonable that at least we Christians should avoid similar dialectical drifts that select and contrast the good against the bad and that in the long run tire, creating social instability., people's uprising and distrust of institutions, all things that we are unfortunately getting used to and that have not allowed us to become better, more good or extremely tolerant.

.

In my opinion it is necessary to emphasize and resume the pastoral attitude of a bishop who cannot afford to fuck the faithful for free. They in fact, albeit in blatant wrong, however, they are free to express legitimate reservations even if expressed in carnival tones or sometimes even close to science fiction, even if they were inspired by self-styled spiritual guides who from overseas discuss about plots and imminent apocalypses. We are still possessors of a baptismal freedom that God has given us and that He is the first to respect even in the face of our sin? It is evident that these faithful are confused and perhaps doctrinally unprepared and conditioned, but for this very reason they would not need to see their bishop as a father and not a stepfather? It would not be better for the bishop to act as a sure guide who watches from above, thus respecting the etymology of its name, instead of following the opportunist logic of politics that lives on the contradiction between opposites, waiting for the defeat of the opposing factions? Because, dear readers, even if division and faction break out in the Church of Christ, it is impossible to get along and give the Holy Spirit a way to act and create communion, even when we believe deep down that we have acted as mature and responsible people.

.

About this I want to take up the words of the blessed apostle Paul who admonishes the Christians of Corinth:

.

"Unfortunately, some of Cloe's family let me know that there are arguments between you. Let me explain: one of you says: “I am Paolo's”; another: “I of Apollo”; a third supports: “I am from Pietro”; and a quarter say: “I belong to Christ”. But Christ cannot be divided!» [See. 1 Color 1, 11-13].

.

Even in our dioceses, in our parishes, in our ecclesial groups there are arguments due to vaccines and the approach to the presbytery is subordinated to the number of doses inoculated. Today Christ is torn between a health responsibility and a social emergency without his adorable person truly being the beginning and occasion for an authentic conversion to the Father, This is perhaps not the ultimate goal of any baptized person? Instead we are here arguing among ourselves and looking for the guilty, accusing everyone of irresponsibility and, if necessary, of little adherence to the Gospel, something that we detect in others but which is also hidden under the good carpets of our home. For you see, the fact that you point out a wrong does not automatically imply that you are right. Se i rigidi no-vax they are wrong this does not mean that i pro-wax are right or free from any well-founded objection.

.

I am a priest of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, with years of ministry spent as a chaplain in a large hospital facility, today I exercise the ministry of parish priest of a parish entrusted by the local Bishop to one of our community of Friars, I'm vaccinated, as are my brothers, but I would never allow myself to label the faithful of my parish as from the pulpit self-styled Catholics (sic!) to watch out for, as the pastoral heart of the Bishop of Pistoia did using the official organ of the diocese [you see WHO]. If these self-styled Catholics instead of no-vax belonged to a different category, we don't think that maybe, in the space of just twenty-four hours, the prelate would be invited to resign and make way for someone more capable? We all know the answer, without needing to add anything else. I can only refer you to reading the book that I have just published together with Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo: From Prozan to Prozac, in which we made an analysis of the inevitable failure of the Zan bill sanctioned a few weeks ago by the Senate of the Republic.

.

When certain ills they come to touch those who have been appointed to be leaders of the people of God, the faithful are lost, they fall into distrust and every possibility of dialogue and every pastoral affection that should be at the pinnacle of the intentions of every wise bishop is compromised. And in this entire emergency situation linked to the pandemic it is now clear that people are more than exasperated. The coercive methodology that was imposed on people on different fronts to achieve quick and painless salvation has not produced the desired results, not only has it not acted as a glue but it is creating fractures that we will bear the consequences of for a long time. So let's ask ourselves: we're sure it's still worth it? Whose profits? And if the Church and its pastors are also involved in this exasperated situation, we are at a loss, falling into the reasoned calculation of those seeking immediate profit and advantage instead of the salvation of souls.

.

And yes because listening to speeches similar to those of the bishop of Pistoia politicians intent on accumulating electoral support and popular favor in order to have or maintain a position come to mind. Indeed, when a politician supports battles from which he can gain something, he is careful what he says, but above all what "not to say". Instead, on other less favorable fronts we prefer to ignore even if we find ourselves faced with much more important and sacrosanct battles and all this for well-reasoned calculation.

.

Now I wonder and I ask this Prelate: in the diocese of Pistoia there are perhaps no people who, although Christian, attend Sunday mass (maybe daily) they did not support the ideas of Emma Bonino or Marco Cappato by stating that euthanasia is an act of love and mercy, perhaps by signing for the repeal referendum? In the diocese of Pistoia and among its clergy there are perhaps no supporters of Zan&Company complete with a little written and rainbow hand in support of the proposal for a liberticidal bill which aimed between the lines to prosecute and punish the crime of opinion, although illustrious gays have explained the opposite, by the lucid and cultured Senator Tommaso Cerno, former national president of Arcigay [you see WHO] up to our author Francesco Mangiacapra who recently published the illuminating critical essay with our editions The coup of the politically correct?

.

Perhaps in the diocese of Pistoia there are no members of ecclesial groups who are in defiance of the doctrinal note of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith [you see WHO] continue to militate in political parties that openly oppose the Church and support ideas contrary to the moral and social teaching of the Magisterium? Perhaps it would not be right and proper, at the tip of the pen and foil, also read about these things in the diocesan newspaper, waiting to hear the word uttered from the episcopal lips self-styled Catholics applied to some styles of Christianity that abound in curiae and parishes?

.

However, let's also admit the case that the diocese of Pistoia was a model of ecclesial virtue and fidelity to the Gospel and to the successor of the blessed apostle Peter, also in this case the Christians no-vax they would equally represent a pastoral challenge from which the bishop could not escape, even at the cost of shedding one's own blood which is more uncomfortable and demanding than shedding ink on the diocesan newspaper.

.

“Unity is essential, freedom in doubt, charity in all things", It is an ancient maxim which I see to be very dear to your Excellency. For this reason I also want to use it for the last underlining of this article. It is mistakenly attributed to Saint Augustine but he is not the author, over time it has been used to push towards a theological and religious liberalism that levels out uncomfortable thoughts and unravels embarrassing situations by trying to get everyone to agree. A political and populist method widely used today because it pays without the danger of overexposure.

.

Excellency, if you were a true liberal would grant the faculty to Catholics no-vax to do what they believe in, respecting that freedom that even God respects with the man who makes mistakes, while at the same time opening a paternal dialogue and trying to recover some brothers, but we both know that liberal bishops do not exist and this has been true since Pasquino's time:

.

I will not deceive you, Marforio, and let's talk frankly:

to say patriotic priest is to say white crow;

contradiction in terms, to which there is no equal,

being pope and being liberal at the same time".

.

For this reason in his speech to the diocesan newspaper I see nothing of that healthy enlightened liberalism that saves differences by integrating them but only populism in a red sauce that does not bind consciences but perhaps exasperates them.

NEW EDITORIAL: «FROM PROZAN TO PROZAC» A BOOK BY ARIEL S. LEVI di GUALDO AND IVANO LIGUORI ON THE WRECK OF THE DRAFT LAW AGAINST HOMOTRANSPHOBIA

.

«It is possible that the LGBT world is inhabited only by poor victims and by no perpetrators? It is possible that for an unworthy priest suffering from psychic disorders, guilty of molesting teenagers, the entire Catholic Church is exposed to the public pillory, while the same investigative journalists and television presenters would never dare - and do not dare out of fear - to go and check what happens with minors in search of money in certain gay circles?».

In 2018 the bill against homotransphobia was presented, approved by the Chamber of Deputies in November 2020 and rejected by the Senate in October 2021. Design which the Catholic Church and the Bishops of Italy have never opposed. Indeed, long before certain proposals reached the House and the Senate, the Catechism of the Catholic Church decisively and precisely condemned all forms of discrimination against homosexuals in the edition of 1992.

.

To oppose and raise the alarm that the text hid the figure of the crime of opinion between the lines have been secular jurists and politicians, bluntly labeling it as a "liberticidal law proposal".

.

The Authors of the work, Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo and Ivano Liguori, in their capacity as presbyters and theologians they have expressed their opinions on this delicate subject several times, offering reflections to the readers of our magazine The Island of Patmos, collected today in this book adorned with hilarious and prophetic expressions addressed to lobby gay ideologized by Paolo Poli, great master of italian theater.

.

Lately, in this necklace, has been published The coup of the politically correct, an essay by Francesco Mangiacapra who analyzes with great clarity the theme of the law proposal on homotransphobia, which we recommend reading.

.

In the introduction to their book the two authors write:

.

fathers Ivano Liguori and Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, authors of the book: From Prozan to Prozac

"We who are two priests and theologians have never pulled back - our publications show -, when the respect for the truth required direct public and severe criticisms of the ecclesial and ecclesiastical world. And if sometimes, for only telling the truth, we have paid the consequences, it was a more than acceptable tribute. We are indeed heralds and faithful servants of the truth, with all that that can entail.

Now let's try to immerse ourselves in reality: have you ever heard in the various talk show televisions - which could not be such in the absence of quote gay ―, an LGBT representative who publicly and severely criticizes his world?

It is possible that the LGBT world is made up only of great people and above all the lines? It is possible that the LGBT world is inhabited only by poor victims and by no perpetrators? It is possible that for an unworthy priest suffering from psychic disorders, guilty of molesting teenagers, the entire Catholic Church is exposed to the public pillory, while the same investigative journalists and television presenters would never dare - and do not dare out of fear - to go and check what happens with minors in search of money in certain gay circles?

In the LGBT world, everything is fine, everything's perfect? What the Holy Doctor Augustine indicates as the Heavenly Jerusalem, perhaps it has its own angelic natural home in certain gay circles? This is what makes certain ideologized and radicalized LGBT fringes surreal and not credible. And someone, to groups so folded into irrational emotions, he also intended to give a law to shut up and prosecute those who do not think like them?

Asking certain questions does not constitute an incitement to hatred of gays, lesbians and transsexuals. It is simply a matter of considering them for what they are: human beings like everyone else, for better or for worse. But if they lobby and pretend to present themselves as people without a shadow of a blemish, or worse as a corporation of untouchables, in that case it will be appropriate not to give them certain laws and let them wallow in the pool of their dreamlike perfection, where everything is good and idyllic, because all the bad guys and the persecutors are only on the other hetero-side.

We do not hesitate to highlight the defects of our visible Church and its clergy, always looking at man as such, to whom we have never asked for licenses of heterosexuality or homosexuality, accepting it and loving it for what it is, how Jesus Christ welcomed and loved him. Because we live in the world of reality, aware that faith is born of reason, not from the irrational emotions of a certain rainbow world ".

The theology and canon law of free toilet paper: the turkeys and the sensational nonsense about the invalidity of the resignation of the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI

- Church news -

THEOLOGY AND CANON LAW OF FREE TOILET PAPER: TURKEYS AND CLAMOROUS IDIOCIES ABOUT THE INVALIDITY OF THE RENUNCIATION OF THE GREAT PONTIFF BENEDICT XVI

.

If an election even took place through simony, that is, through exchanges of money or other goods or benefits, those who have put it all in place will incur excommunication automatic, But, the election of the Roman Pontiff, even though it occurred through the perpetration of this very serious crime already condemned by several Church councils and by ecclesiastical laws, it will not be considered invalid but in any case legitimate. So it is written, without penalty of denial, in the apostolic constitution Dominic Flock of the Holy Pontiff John Paul II.

.

.

.

PDF print format article
.

.

.

Let it be freely and properly disclosed …

If any Catholic was undecided whether to read The Manifesto, historic communist newspaper founded in 1971 by Rossana Rossanda and Lucio Magri, brilliant intellectuals and refined pens of Italian journalism, or the newspaper Free, founded by that nice gaga of Vittorio Feltri and directed today by that depressed gravedigger face of Alessandro Sallusti, read the first without hesitation and do not use the second even as a base for the waste separation basket. Indeed, this newspaper devoid of shame and a sense of ridicule has been giving ample space for months to a journalist who supports insane theses on the invalidity of the resignation from the sacred throne of the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI. Having said that, it should be clarified that the right to think, word and expression cannot be confused with the right to manipulation, to the mystification and grave offense addressed to the Pontiff reigning today and to years and years of his pastoral government of the universal Church.

.

Qhis journalist grants visibility to characters out of balance, like the presbyter of the Archdiocese of Palermo who for years has been poisoning the simplest and most fragile Catholics with crazy theories through his daily videos-directed on Facebook. Before proceeding it is worth summing up, to then reply and deny, what this subject has been saying for four years now:

.

1. Benedict XVI's resignation is invalid because he was forced by force, therefore he continues to be the legitimate Supreme Pontiff;

2. What is called "Pope Francis" does not exist, he is an antipope, a usurper, an emissary of Satan, hence all its acts of government, his documents and appointments are invalid;

3. The election of the “false pope” Jorge Mario Bergoglio was orchestrated by a group of cardinals known as The St. Gallen mafia, who worked with the strong powers and international Freemasonry to dismiss Benedict XVI and elect him;

4. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a satanic destroyer of the Church and of Catholic doctrine, he is a heretic;

5. All priests who celebrate Holy Mass in communion with the “fake” usurper pope and heretic celebrate invalid Masses, indeed of the satanic masses;

6. The faithful who receive the Holy Eucharist from priests in communion with the false pope do not receive the Most Holy Body of Christ but the body of the Antichrist, in the same way all the sacraments administered by them are invalid;

7. When a conclave will be celebrated on the death of the usurper antipope, will in fact be invalid, because they will proceed with the election of the successor of the cardinals created by the antipope, then they will elect another antipope.

.

Even a child who has studied the catechism with dedication to prepare for the First Holy Communion would understand that it is genuine nonsense.

.

No One, including the conspiracy reporter of Free and the followers of this poor priest, he should be surprised if the author of such theses was first suspended peep, then excommunicated, at last, as a last extreme act, dismissed from the clerical state, given his obstinate persistence and the ferocious hatred he sows among the people, turning their followers into fanatics who in turn spread fanatic hatred towards the "false church", the "false pope" and the Priestly College composed, according to them, of "cowards who tremble before the usurper antipope".

.

With a question now let's close the discussion on the newspaper Free to move on to more serious dissertations: given that starting from the title of the newspaper the editors declare themselves free in their opinions, they would be willing to give space on the same columns to a reporter who similarly carried forward in a pounding way, for months and months, the most absurd destructive and offensive theories against Senator Matteo Salvini the Honorable Giorgia Meloni? Or, if only he tried to do it, he would be kicked out on the spot at the first attempt to publish something like this? And with this we have clarified how free this newspaper really is, directed by that depressed gravedigger face of Alessandro Sallusti. Because for these subjects, freedom seems to consist only in letting certain journalists free to throw shovels of shit on the Catholic Church and the Papacy. But they would never allow a flamenco dancer to throw a rose on the so-called populist Right at the end of her dance.. This is their freedom of information, this is their independence. Therefore, I reiterate the invitation: Catholics, buy and read The Manifesto, but don't buy and don't read Free.

.

Sui social media, which should never be underestimated with a spirit of intellectual snobbery, there are self-styled Catholics who deviated from the right path by these deformers of the news are convinced of their absurd theories, turning in turn into disseminators of "sensational truths". Like this, with the spirit of those who support Lazio instead of Roma or vice versa, with distressing superficiality they affirm:

.

«It is now clear that Benedict XVI by renouncing the ministry did not renounce the papacy. Therefore he is the Supreme Pontiff, the usurper Jorge Mario Bergoglio is only an antipope and moreover also a heretic ".

.

Let's start by answering this statement totally outside any theological logic and law. To do this, you must first ask yourself: what do certain people prodded by their gurus mean by gift e ministry in reference to the Roman Pontiff Bishop of Rome? The gift of the Roman Pontiff is not an indelible sacrament, like the consecration of an episcope or the consecration of a presbyter, the Petrine one is only a primacy of jurisdiction. The Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI did not perform an act of renunciation while maintaining something of the apostolic primacy of this office, because the election in the conclave does not mark the person elected with an indelible sacrament that would continue to remain even after the resignation, as happens for bishops when they renounce the government of their dioceses and become emeritus bishops, but always remaining bishops, which as such have renounced the ministry, while maintaining that gift indelible linked to an indelible sacrament.

.

The fundamental step which escapes certain practitioners of theology do it yourself, to excommunicated priests who would be self-proclaimed biologists and to poor journalists with the dangerous hobby of the free conspiracy, it is precisely that the papacy is not a sacrament, then the gift it is not indelible. "Theologians" and "canonists" are sports bar they do not understand this and think they are disserting on extremely complex themes on the theological and canonical level, the only result will be to first confuse oneself, then all those simple people who, instead of listening to us priests and theologians of solid formation, drink on the internet to the insanity of these irrational imbalances..

.

To the Supreme Pontiff who renounces the ministry therefore remains the gift episcopal, not the gift of the papacy. The sacrament of the fullness of the priesthood remains, the episcopate, in that gift which derives from a sacrament that cannot be canceled in any way. This in the same way that I could never give up on gift priestly, I could give up the exercise of the priestly ministry, but not al gift. Or as if a baptized person wanted to renounce Holy Baptism, which is an indelible sacrament. He can't do it. If he wishes, he can deny his baptism and declare that he does not feel baptized and does not intend to belong to the Catholic Church., but the sacrament which he received in substance and form, no one will be able to take it away. Yet another example: a cardinal can be deprived of the dignity of a cardinal, because it is a pure ecclesiastical honorific. That of the cardinal is a dignity, not a sacrament. While the bishop or the presbyter, who with episcopal consecration and priestly consecration have received the ministerial priesthood of Christ and the sacramental fullness of the apostolic priesthood which imprint in consecrated persons an indelible character which has ontologically transformed them, they can renounce everything that the episcopate and the presbyterate entail in terms of duties and honors, but they will not cease never to be bishops and presbyters, because such they will be forever. In the same way that a bishop or a presbyter excommunicated and also subjected to the extreme act of dismissal from the clerical state, they will never cease to be bishops and priests.

.

The pontificate is acquired juridically and not through the sacraments. Hence Benedict XVI, with his act of renunciation he renounced the ministry and kept the gift episcopal to whom, him like any bishop, could never give up, why the gift episcopal - I said it but I repeat it again for particularly hard heads - it derives from an indelible sacrament that imprints a character, the papacy does not.

.

This is what the resignation of the Roman Pontiff entails. Unfortunately, certain poor and good people, more or less Catholic, they are committed to taking truly colossal nonsense at face value, to the point of stubbornly refusing to listen to the experts. At that point it is difficult for them to learn how things really stand on the level of sacramental dogmatics and on that of the canonical discipline of the Sacraments.. While it remains almost impossible for us to move them, because it's them, although he lacks theology and ecclesiastical law, to… explain to us how things really are (!?).

.

The free journalist is stupid in one way, the priest excommunicated and today discharged from the clerical state in another way, with the style of the famous Doctor Dulcamara cite the Code of Canon Law as irrefutable proof. It is of little use that they transform it into a sort of "premature supercazzola with right-hand scapellation", to refer to the saga of My friends, thanks to which today, the term super cazzola entered the philosophical lexicon to indicate a completely meaningless phrase or expression. What it's worth, But, is that citing a canon from the Code of Canon Law produces the same effect that the amazing relics of Friar Cipolla narrated by Giovanni Boccaccio produced in certain ignorant plebeians. And so, stupid journalist and priest excommunicated today discharged from the clerical state, solemnly they affirm:

.

«Benedict XVI is always the legitimate Supreme Pontiff because he did not do what the canon did 332 paragraph 2 requires ".

.

Just so, their trump card and irrefutable proof of the idiocies they affirm is that Code of Canon Law which, in fact, cannot even read. Let's go and read what is written in this canon 332 comma 2, this:

.

«In the event that the Roman Pontiff renounces his office, it is required for validity that the renunciation be made freely and duly manifested, instead it is not required that someone accept it ".

.

The Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, after announcing his renunciation on 11 February 2013, until the day 28 of that same month he repeated several times the full freedom with which he had come to mature his decision. He reiterated this in his speech to the cardinals, in the address to the clergy of Rome, in two general audiences and in various public official greetings. Afterwards, after the election of his Supreme Successor, came back to repeat it again, to the point of affirming that not only his choice was totally free and considered, but that if anyone had put any pressure on him to give up, he would never give up for any reason.

.

It can be clearer? Of course not, but absurdly, from these very clear and unequivocal words, some manipulators build illogical sand castles to support:

.

"These words are proof that he was pressed by strong constraints and that Benedict XVI's coded message must be interpreted precisely behind these words of his" (!?).

.

Soon said: if things were as stated by the stupid free journalist and the excommunicated priest discharged today from the clerical state, Benedict XVI would be the greatest liar and the greatest coward in the entire history of the papacy, or not?

.

Faced with these disputes the characters in question begin to play on elements that would be comic in themselves, if behind there was not the disaster of the souls who drag themselves into error. For example by stating:

.

"In its declaration written in Latin Benedict XVI made numerous errors. And since this one declaration it must be perfect in shape, these Latin syntax errors make it invalid. This is something that Benedict XVI knew well, but having been forced to make an act of renunciation, drew up a formal deed, burdening him with invalidity due to errors in Latin syntax which he knowingly wanted ".

.

Let's clarify: if Benedict XVI had really done such a thing would arouse disgust even in the worst cowards in the history of mankind. Soon said: support such things, which also entail the reading of the deepest conscience of others and therefore the celebration of absurd trials with the most hidden intentions, is equivalent to claiming the presence of invisible aliens landed on planet Earth and hidden among us humans. But let's go further:

.

"Benedict XVI continued to sign himself by following his name with the initials" P.P. " what does it mean high priest!».

.

So it has been thundering for a few years in his direct on Facebook the ignorant priest excommunicated and today discharged from the clerical state, who at every turn boasts of having obtained two theological doctorates. This proves that doctorates have never instilled intelligence in the limited mediocre who by nature lack it and which have never been a guarantee of science and wisdom.. Indeed, the bidottore excommunicated for heresy and schism, he is so ignorant in ecclesiastical history that he does not even know that initials, all’origine, was born during the first great dogmatic councils celebrated in the East to indicate the Bishop of Rome as Father of the Poor, which literally translates: Father of the Poor, o Father of the Little ones, of the Simple. This acronym, the Bishop of Rome, he adopted it in times when the title of Supreme Pontiff or Roman Pontiff did not yet exist. How could he then, that acronym, mean Pontiff of the Popes, as the ignorant janitor has been saying for years? And he adopted it, this acronym, to give an elegant lesson - read slap - to the Patriarch of Constantinople who boasted about twenty high-sounding titles. This is the true and original meaning of that acronym, ass of a heretical janitor going mad on Facebook on the hunt for souls to be ruined!

.

You don't pay at all, the stupid free journalist and the bidoctor priest excommunicated and today discharged from the clerical state then launch into sophisms on the exegesis of the New Testament. They take two sentences contained in the Gospel texts and then make him say what is not written in them:

.

«The difference is that the gift is the authority of the Supreme Pontiff, "You are Peter" (cf.. Mt 16, 18), while the ministry it is its development: "Feed my lambs" (cf.. GV 21, 15).

.

The difference between gift e ministry and vice versa, of which the stupid free journalist and the excommunicated priest-bidder speak, it is a pure distinction of formal logic, or conceptual, which should be used in special manuals and books in which we advance - and in which we must advance - even the most absurd hypotheses to be able to understand and clarify all the sides necessary for the correct knowledge and competence of the subject. It is a speculative tool used since late scholasticism by William of Ockham up to the subjectivist "terministic" excess that gave the basis to the thought of the Jesuit jurist Francisco Suarez, which should be taken with a grain of salt by experienced experts. Not confronted by that mediocre and limited practitioner of an excommunicated priest ruffapopoli who boasts a bidoctor, but that if he came out of his room of filming for the direct on Facebook, where he is surrounded by his adoring caregivers, to publicly confront a real specialist, within five minutes, to this pompous turkey, not even a pen would remain stuck on him. All because, (c)hey speculative tools were used in specific academic contexts within philosophical discussions, theological and juridical in which the i preamble, that is, the specific historical-critical introductions they explained, on a purely pedagogical and logical level, how the current state of the problem and therefore the overrun problem. Once these parts that served as introduction and explanation were omitted, only the specific studies of the themes and of the synthetic or even eclectic exposures were left, aimed solely at establishing the truth of a writing.. Soon said: those who do not have - like this excommunicated bidoctor priest - an adequate philosophical and theological training that starts from a solid scholastic basis and an equally solid knowledge of the art of rhetoric and philosophical theological speculation; who boast traditionalists, but that in fact they are completely unconscious modernist heretics, because they don't even realize they are, they will not even be able to read and understand these texts, but putting their hand into it they will upset them, finally they will believe that they have discovered in them what had never jumped into the eyes of anyone else over the centuries.

.

Explaining it all we have also provided implicit proof of the failure of this speculative approach, yesterday as today. Because people are not properly prepared upstream, in a deep and solid way, they will believe they can launch their sensational discovery or interpretation by centering everything on a little word separated from the complex context, excluding all the historical path, theological and juridical that conceal certainty behind them theological debates and every single section of canon law. All this for a simple and sad fact: because they do not know the subject and do not even know how certain academic disputes are to be framed, read and carried out. They take a little word, they extrapolate it after having misunderstood or not understood the whole context and build on it absurd truths then presented as irrefutable.

.

In certain speculations and dissertations academic based mostly on the principles of classical scholasticism, certain themes were carried up to the unbelievable, il cosiddetto paradoxical (paradox). Formerly Cicero, in the art of Latin rhetoric he resorted to paradox. Even the Blessed Apostle Paul himself in his exposition used the ὑπερβολή (hyperbole), which was typical of Greek rhetoric. In reality, But, these distinctions just don't exist, they are just rhetorical or thematic paradoxes, hyperbole or in any case excesses that aim to create speculative reasoning even on the most improbable and absurd hypotheses. Example: once, disserting with some confreres also trained in dogmatic theologians and historians of dogma, in a completely serious way - not because we were high on alcohol and hashish - we began to discuss the hypothetical existence of other lives in other worlds and planets outside the solar system. To this end we questioned ourselves: in case other forms of life existed, how to re-read the mystery of man's creation, but above all the incarnation of the Word of God and the sacrifice made through his saving death for the redemption of men? A dissertation, paradoxical, hyperbolic, pushed to the extreme paradox. Maybe though, if the free journalist and the priest excommunicated bidoctor were present, took and misunderstood four words, from then on they would give life to the alien theology.

.

For this, no canonist, until today, managed to carry this forward the breath of the voice without concept or reality, such as the invalid election of a Roman Pontiff or on the other hand the invalidity of an act of renunciation. This because, in the real world, true theologians are something quite different from practicons, amateurs and self-styled janitors, not to mention those who follow them and who in four ballets have in turn obtained doctorates in sacramental dogmatics and in canon law on Facebook e Instagram.

.

We who are true theologians, first of all because in obedience to the Church and its legitimate Authorities and because we were trained by our wise teachers to be rational and speculative minds, we speak on the basis of what exists and what has happened, namely this: Benedict XVI has freely, legitimately and validly renounced the Chair of Peter, confirming and reiterating the full freedom of his / her act of renunciation. Everything else is theology and canon law of everyday toilet paper Free and senseless follies shouted by a poor out of balance priest who goes crazy in the live broadcasts Facebook, from which he reminds his followers, every three nonsense shot at random, who holds two doctorates and is twice a doctor… twice a doctor! Except shortly after affirming that God revealed himself to the poor and ignorant to spite precisely the learned and the wise.

.

Sophistication about gift It is on ministry, or even invent a Benedict Code, as did the stupid free journalist on the telematic columns of Free, it means doing fantasy-theology and fantasy-canon law, clinging to little words and certain distinctions with not even a sophist spirit, but just illogical and irrational, looking for something that does not exist but that some, for them psychological or spiritual discomfort, they want it to exist at all costs. At that point, what does not exist if they invent it, giving words a different meaning or altering Church documents through manipulation, for example the Apostolic Constitution Dominic Flock of the Holy Pontiff John Paul II, about the vacancy of the Apostolic See and the election of the Roman Pontiff. Indeed, the poor janitor, always specialized in making documents say what they do not say, he seems not to have even noticed what this Constitution writes in chapter VI, n. 78:

.

"If in the election of the Roman Pontiff - God forbid - the crime of simony were perpetrated, I decide and declare that all those who are guilty of it will incur excommunication automatic and that the nullity or non-validity of the same simoniacal provision is nevertheless removed, so that for this reason - as already established by my Predecessors - the validity of the election of the Roman Pontiff is not challenged ".

.

What does it all mean? It is clearly written: if an election even took place through simony, that is, through exchanges of money or other goods or benefits, those who have put it all in place will incur excommunication automatic, But, the election of the Roman Pontiff, even though it occurred through the perpetration of this very serious crime already condemned by several Church councils and by ecclesiastical laws, it will not be considered invalid but in any case legitimate. So it is written, without penalty of denial.

.

My dear followers of the excommunicated heretic priest that shoots nonsense in bursts on Facebook exhibiting to you, his audience, the amazing relics of Friar Cipolla. To you, that we pastors in the care of souls want in every way to recover from error and snatch from deception, I address myself with an invitation to reflect on this undeniable element: from a document as articulated as this Constitution, two words cannot be cut, isolate them from the whole context and then make the document say what is not written in it. Yup, the following n. 79 of the same chapter states:

.

«Also confirming the prescriptions of the Predecessors, I forbid anyone, even if he was awarded the dignity of cardinalate, to bargain, while the Pontiff is alive and without having consulted him, about the election of his Successor, or promise votes, or make decisions about this in private conventicles ".

.

Pay close attention: this precise and decisive prohibition, already contained in similar documents promulgated by other Supreme Predecessors of the Holy Pontiff John Paul II, even if it was totally violated by cardinals, it absolutely does not contemplate the penalty of invalidity and nullity of the election. The document says so, it would be enough just to read, instead of taking as pure gold what unlikely claims that certain turkey that screams in live broadcasts Facebook. Therefore, compared to what has just been reported and explained, do you really intend to continue to give credit to this miserable subject who has been telling you for years that the election of the reigning Pontiff is invalid because it was orchestrated by a group of cardinals referred to as "The Mafia of St. Gallen"? Please reason, especially to read: if not even an election that took place through the shameful crime of simony renders the election of a Roman Pontiff invalid and null and void, do you really think it can be made such by cardinals who met every now and then in Switzerland to be together and talk to each other? Reason: it is the same document in question, which on the one hand condemns all kinds of pre-conclave pacts, but at the same time it does not question the legitimate and valid election of one who was also elected by this path. Think and above all read the documents, do not listen to what the roaring turkey pretends to make him say, of what certain documents never said and wrote.

.

The so-called "Mafia of St. Gallen" is a simple humorous joke made by the late Cardinal Godfried Maria Jules Danneels to a journalist, to which he said, in a purely joking tone, that every now and then, a group of cardinals, including him, they met in this Swiss town. And laughing, he said: "We were a bit like a mafia gathering". The theory of a conspiracy was built on this joke that would have forced Benedict XVI to resign with coercion and psychological violence in order to elect the already prepared Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio in his place., supported by this Welsh cardinal mafia, with strong powers and international Freemasonry, as the excommunicated screaming priest has been saying for years.

.

My dear, I ask you in a pleading tone for divine charity which has endowed even the most limited with capacity, at least partial, to understand and want: how can you give credit to such things, denied by the facts, by ecclesiastical laws and by the Apostolic Constitution which regulates the election of the Roman Pontiff? Tall this for the sole purpose of denying, with illogical and irrational obstinacy, what really happened: Benedict XVI has freely, legitimately and validly renounced the Petrine ministry and some grammatical errors will certainly not make his formal resignation invalid. Those who deny this deny the reality of living in hyperuranium.

.

For all of us priests and theologians that we have given our entire existence to the Church and to the Holy People of God, it is really disheartening to try to counter people sunk in the most absurd error who do not accept any correction, because they refuse to see guides and teachers in us. In these painful circumstances, the tremendous prophetic words written by the Blessed Apostle Paul to his disciple Timothy resound in our hearts as shepherds in the care of souls:

.

«The day will come, indeed, when they will not endure sound doctrine;, ma, having itching ears they, will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, refusing to listen to the truth to turn to fairy tales. But you shall carefully, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry " (II Tm 4, 1-5).

.

Today we servants of the Church and of sound doctrine we all feel Timothy in the struggle, which is an often useless struggle against the idiocy produced by illogical and irrational minds that are dragging many souls towards ruin. And that they get angry, verbally attack us and seriously offend us, if only we try to bring them back to reason. Hard times for priests and theologians today, especially for pastors in the care of souls animated by profound faith, who therefore strongly feel the duty to defend the People of God at all costs from ravenous wolves and the Onion Friar who abuse their popular credulity with the display of amazing relics.

I have been informed from opening of the beatification process of a little heretic of the 20th century, Carmen Hernandez Barrera (Olvega, 24 November 1930 – Madrid, 19 of July 2016), co-founder with Kiko Argüello of the worst para-Catholic and heterodox movement in the history of the 20th century: the Neocatechumenal Way. And I say “little” because heresy is a serious thing. Throughout the history of the Church, the great heretics were personalities endowed with excellent intellect and rare philosophical gifts, theological and speculative. Carmen Hernández was instead, a poor and pompous ignorant woman who mixed pseudo-poetic emotionality with a self-taught theology which was disastrous and in half a century, has caused immense damage to a large number of equally emotional and fragile subjects, who followed her and her partner Kiko Argüello. Therefore, by calling her heretical, as dogmatic theologian and historian of dogma, I have the obligation, duty and intellectual honesty, to apologize first of all to the speculative minds who stood out, as were those of the great heretics of the caliber of Arius and Pelagius.

.

For the commemoration of the feast of the dead, an acquaintance of mine who works as an undertaker, he urgently sought me trembling and in need of advice. The poor man very scared, after repeatedly hearing noises coming from two graves in the cemetery, in which rest the mortal remains of two holy priests: the Servant of God Pier Carlo Lad, roman presbyter, and Enrico Zoffoli, Roman priest of the Order of the Passionists. Two authentic saints whose fame of sanctity the gravedigger himself knew as a pious man. With great bewilderment he asked me in romanesco dialect:

.

«If they don't rest in peacerow of beasts’ sti du holy priests who could ever rest thereat (if they can't rest in peace in the heuThese two holy priests are heavenly, then who can rest there)?».

.

«DayRemoletto, you don't have to be scaredat, me sathat they communicate to usat quartz, moI put myself in ndagat and then you know (Uncle Remoletto you shouldn't be scared, I think they want to tell us something, Now I'm going to investigate and then I'll let you know)».

.

To discover and understand the origin of this phenomenon, it is necessary to remember the life and works of these two deceased. In fact, Pier Carlo Landucci at the 1983, Enrico Zoffoli at the 1990, warned about the dangerous heresies of the Neocatechumenal Way, denouncing and documenting years and years of grotesquely heterodox formative catechesis carried out by the two initiators of the coven and continued by the mega catechists. Analysis and denunciations that the holy theologian priests made before the ecclesiastical authorities and that I know very well, because I am the third to return to this topic, collecting the legacy of his studies and expanding the analysis of the neocatechumenal phenomenon to the state in which it finds itself after thirty years. This is why, that as a sign of indelible gratitude to the theological science and courage of these two men of God, that my book The sect Neocatechumenal, in Spanish The Neocatechumenal sect I have dedicated it to his venerable memories.

.

I do not follow the various information services of the Holy See and the related onestofficial and unofficial ios, because for a while comedy amuses me with dwarfs, dancers and ruffians, but in the long run it bores me, and finally irritates me. However, when a bishop friend told me by way of provocation:

.

«What do you think of the opening of the diocesan phase of the process of beatification of Carmen Hernández? celebrated with a ceremony of great fanfare in the cathedral of Madrid?».

.

I heard all this as a joke, typical of humor ecclesiastical, and that it could not be otherwise. So, Convinced that it was all a joke, I reply:

.

"They want to make Santa de la Polla blessed? Or let's ignore that the Italian word «dick» (in spanish cock) it was the one that Carmen pronounced the most in her colloquial interspersed even within her long and exotic liturgies neokatekike?».

.

The bishop friend laughs, and realizing he hadn't taken it seriously, but i thought it was a satirical joke. He replies that he was being serious. I immediately replied:

.

"If they opened the process of beatification of the first santa heretic, then we can also open the del florence freak and after the canonization promote him as co-patron of lovers along with Valentine. So much, with those of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, there is nothing of them that can surprise, and we can expect anything.

.

the friendly bishop, send me two official reports de the chronicle of the event [watch ON HERE, ON HERE]. On Vatican News journalist Salvatore Cernuzio flaunts all the typical ignorance of our degrading Italian Vaticanists, showing above all that he does not even know how to distinguish a cause for beatification, through which a blessed is proclaimed, of a cause for canonization, through which a blessed, that as such has already been beatified, and is proclaimed holy. And in July 2021 this ignorant Vaticanist announces the opening of the "cause of canonization":

.

"Tonight will be presented in the Archdiocese of Madrid the Your humble little book, the request to open the diocesan phase for the cause of canonization, of which the members of the international team of this ecclesial reality branched out on the five continents are actors, that is, Kiko Arguello, Father Mario Pezzi and Maria Ascension Romero. To the bishop of the diocese where the candidate died, will be delivered a dossier that compiles writings, documents and testimonies attesting, precisely, of those “heroic virtues” necessary to establish sanctity of life" [watch ON HERE].

.

By saying that a bishop is not obliged to open a beatification process, as it is not at all a due act, and with this all has been said by the authority of the bishop in question. Many of us are wondering — and seriously wondering —, what can be the "heroic virtues" of a woman who has disfigured Catholic doctrine, the sacred liturgy and the history of the Church, and that together with Kiko Argüello they have given rise to a pseudo-Catholic movement, that in my critical essay I define with precise words and that to this day have never been refuted by any reprimand from the competent ecclesiastical authorities:

.

«The Neocatechumenate is a community with a Jewish-Protestant matrix that is Catholic only on the outside, emptied from within what are the founding elements of Catholicism» [cf. P. 100 of the mentioned work].

.

Candidates for beatification require a proven miracle, except the martyrs, since the Church considers martyrdom as a miracle in itself linked to the action of God's grace. As well, I have investigated and I have discovered that the scientific commission appointed by the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Madrid, has already been scrutinized by leading European clinical urologists and andrologists, the miracle that has taken place through the intercession of this candidate for beatification.

.

The beneficiary of the miracle is called Armando Bronca Segura, young man from Madrid 25 years. The best of European clinical science was unanimous in declaring that there is no scientific explanation for the fact. The young man suffered from a pathology experienced by many men with pain and humiliation: penis hypoplasia, commonly known as congenital micropenis. The scientific commission explained that this pathology involves, for the man who suffers from it, an organ of normal morphology with the exit of the external urinary meatus, but presenting at birth a length less than 2,5 centimeters. Urologists attest that, considering the standard deviations from the mean, it can be said that it is a micropenis when the length at birth is less than 1,9 centimeters. The causes of micropenis are attributable to a deficit in androgen secretion during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

.

Armando Safe Bronca, After having met some mega-catechists, when entering the Neocatechumenal Way depressed, as soon as Segura was stripped in his deepest consciousness, through the scrutiny that has always hidden true forms of public confession, he testified to everything narrating his experience: that is, the insecurity and the shame I felt in the locker room, the pain he suffered when he was dubbed the Pygmy by callous and mocking peers. The mega-catechists did not take long to command him to resort to the pious intercession of Carmen Hernández. And so, one morning, on waking, noticed that between her legs there was … and all the neighbors heard the cries of a male voice that cried out “miracle … miracle!”».

.

few weeks afterIt'ss, Armando Bronca Segura sent, the entire Neocatechumenal Way together with the mega-catechists, to see if I had already put the sow, completely changing life. Today he works in the world of porn, where he is one of the highest paid actors. His first film is called: The stallion of Vallecas, which has already marked a resounding international success.

.

It's nothing irreverent indicate to future memory Carmen Hernández as The Holy of Cock (The Santa of the Cock), since there is nothing vulgar in this expression, On the contrary, it contains the whole truth of the case., because it's all documented and historical. Numerous eyewitnesses who are still alive and well, ecclesiastics and laity of all nationalities, and those who during numerous public contexts had heard her insert: «… and fuckand fuck (and cock … and cock!)». on one occasion, that pious woman by Chiara Lubich (founder of Focolare Movement), who was as sweet and delicate as a china doll, reunida with Luigi Giussani (founder of Communion and Liberation Movement) in a meeting attended by all the founders and foundresses of lay movements on the occasion of the great Jubilee of the 2000, he was about to pass out, listening at close range, the future Santa Carmen Hernández, that between one cigarette and another he talked interspersed... and fuckand fuck … (and cock … and cock!)».

.

If then It'syou are nobody ohrgano it is an element that usually emerges in the mouths of the candidates for beatification, at least one must ask: … what … “dick” They are doing, those who work within the Holy See with the causes of saints? Or maybe, before the opening of the process of beatification of a subject that is at least impossible to propose, such as Carmen Hernández, we have to take them seriously? No, Unfortunately, We only have the duty to make a fool of them, we have no other weapon more suitable for defense, than the knowing and charitable ridicule of those who believe they can transform, The Holy Church of Jesus Christ, in a grotesque and squalid theater of ridiculous, changing the heroic nature of the virtues, namely, Holiness, in a prize conferred even heretics and ill-mannered Spanish fools.

.

All this, to shameperennial without the Cardinal Carlos Osoro Sierra, to which perhaps no one has said that the Spanish College of Rome, promoter of a case opened from the 1953, under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Madrid, and is left to rot in a basement, the documents of the process of beatification of Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val, one of our giants of the 20th century, illustrious son of the blood of the noble Spain. Always admitting that someone, to the Metropolitan Archbishop of Madrid, who just five years after her death opens the buffoonish diocesan phase of the process of beatification of Carmen Hernández, explain who he was and what a giant of the 20th century Church was like Rafael Merry del Val and Zuleta. 'Cause I might not even know him, knowing instead, perfectly, that Pedro Almodovar that the Spanish Catholic Church, because of how it is reduced, totally deserve it, from his first to his last anti-Catholic film.

I learned from the opening of the beatification process of a little heretic of the twentieth century, Carmen Hernandez Barrera (Olvega, 24 November 1930 – Madrid, 19 July 2016), co-initiator with Kiko Argüello of the worst para-Catholic and heterodox movement in the history of the twentieth century: the Neocatechumenal Way. And I say "small" because heresy is a very serious thing. Throughout the history of the Church, the great heretics were personalities endowed with excellent intellect and rare philosophical gifts, theological and speculative. Carmen Hernández, on the other hand, was a poor and pompous ignorant who mixed pseudo-poetic emotionality with a disastrous theology do it yourself, that in half a century has caused immense damage to an army of equally emotional and fragile subjects who have followed him and his companion Kiko Argüello. Therefore, in calling her heretical, as a dogmatic theologian and historian of dogma, I have an obligation, out of duty and intellectual honesty, to ask forgiveness first of all from speculative minds that were excelled, such were those of great heretics of the caliber of Arius and Pelagius.

.

On the occasion of the commemoration of the dead, an acquaintance who is an undertaker sought me out with urgency and trembling to ask me for guidance. He was very scared, the poor thing, after repeatedly hearing noises in the cemetery from two tombs inside which rest the mortal remains of two holy priests: the Servant of God Pier Carlo Lad, Roman presbyter, ed Enrico Zoffoli, Roman presbyter of the Passionist Order. Two authentic saints, which the gravedigger was also aware of, God-fearing man, who, with great bewilderment, asked me a question:

.

«Si nun reposeno ‘n’pace n'a aschiera de b'beati’ sti du santi sacerdoti, who could ever rest there?».

.

I went to the cemetery myself and as soon as I approached the tombs I, the noises got louder still. I assure the undertaker:

.

«Uncle Remoletto, you don't have to be scared, I know that something will be communicated to us, I'm going to find out and then I'll let you know».

.

To discover and then understand the origin of this phenomenon, it is necessary to think about the life and works of certain deceased people. Indeed, it happened that Pier Carlo Landucci in 1983, Enrico Zoffoli in 1990, they raised a grave alarm on the dangerous heresies of the Neocatechumenal Way, denouncing and documenting years and years of grotesquely heterodox formative catechesis held by the two initiators of this coven to their mega-catechists. Analysis and denunciations that the two holy priests and theologians made to the competent Ecclesiastical Authorities and that I know very well, because I was the third to return to the subject years later, collecting the legacy of their studies and expanding the analysis of the Neocatechumenal phenomenon to the state it was in thirty years later. Also for this, as a sign of indelible gratitude to the theological science and the courage of these two men of God, my book The sect Neocatechumenal I dedicated it to their venerable memories.

.

I don't follow the various bulletins of the Holy See and related official or unofficial sites, because for a while the comic comedy amuses me with all its dwarfs, dancers and ruffians, but in the long run I get tired, finally it irritates me. Until a bishop friend throws me a provocation:

.

"What do you think of the opening of the diocesan phase of the beatification process of Carmen Hernández, held with a ceremony with great fanfare in the cathedral of Madrid?».

.

I take it all as a joke of pure ecclesiastical humor, because it couldn't be otherwise. So convinced that he was joking I reply:

.

«They want to bless her Santa del Cazzo? Or maybe we want to ignore that the word "fuck" was what Carmen pronounced as a colloquial intercalary even during their long and exotic liturgies. neokatekike?».

.

The bishop friend laughs, realizing that I hadn't taken it all for real and that I thought it was a satirical joke. To which he replies that he is speaking seriously. I promptly blurted out:

.

«If they have opened the process of beatification of the first Holy Heretics, then we can also open that of Pietro Pacciani and after having canonized him, promote him co-patron saint of lovers together with Valentine's Day. So much, from those of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, now there is nothing to be surprised about and we can expect anything ".

.

The bishop friend he sends me two official news reports on the event. Su Vatican News the journalist Salvatore Cernuzio [see WHO, WHO] flaunts all the typical ignorance of our demeaning Italian Vaticanists, first of all showing that he does not even know how to distinguish a cause for beatification, through which a blessed is proclaimed, from a cause of canonization, through which a blessed, who as such has already been beatified, instead he is proclaimed a saint. And in July of 2021 this ignorant Vatican scholar announces the opening of the "cause of canonization":

.

"Tonight will be presented to the Archdiocese of Madrid the Your humble little book, the request to open the diocesan phase for the cause of canonization, in which the members of the international team of this ecclesial reality branched out in the five continents are actors, or Kiko Argüello, father Mario Pezzi and Maria Ascension Romero. To the bishop of the diocese where the candidate died, a booklet that collects writings will be delivered, documents and testimonies that attest, precisely, those "heroic virtues" necessary to establish their holiness of life " [see WHO].

.

By saying that a bishop is not obliged to open a beatification process, since it is not at all a due act, with this all is said, starting from the level of the bishop in question. Many are asking ourselves - and we ask ourselves "seriously" so to speak -, what could be the "heroic virtues" of a woman who has wreaked havoc on Catholic doctrine, of the sacred liturgy and of the history of the Church, which together with Kiko Argüello gave birth to a pseudo-Catholic movement that in my critical essay I define with these precise words and up to now never denied by any reference from the competent Ecclesiastical Authorities:

.

"The Neocatechumenate is a community of Jewish-Protestant origin that is Catholic only in the outer shell emptied inside of what are the founding elements of Catholicism" [cf.. pag. 100 of the aforementioned work].

.

To candidates for beatification a proven miracle is required, except for the martyrs, because the Church already considers martyrdom a miracle in itself linked to the action of God's grace. Well, I investigated further and discovered that the scientific commission appointed by the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Madrid has already subjected the miracle that would have occurred through the intercession of this candidate for beatification to the scrutiny of the most distinguished European clinicians and urologists..

.

The miraculous man is called Armando Bronca Segura, a young man from Madrid of the age of 25 year old. The best of European clinical science was unanimous in declaring that there is no scientific explanation for the fact. The young man suffered from a pathology experienced by many men with suffering and humiliation: penile hypoplasia, also known as congenital micropenis. The scientific commission explained that this pathology involves for the man who is affected an organ of normal morphology and with the outlet of the external urethral meatus in the seat, but which at birth has a length less than 2,5 inches. Urologists attest that considering the standard deviations to the mean it can be said to be in the presence of a micropenis when the length at birth is less than 1,9 inches. The causes of micropenis are attributable to a deficit of androgen secretion during the second and third trimester of pregnancy.

.

After meeting some mega-catechists and having entered the Neocatechumenal Way depressed, as soon as Armando Bronca Segura was stripped to his deepest conscience with those scrutinies that have always concealed true forms of public confessions, he spilled the beans by narrating his experience. Hence the insecurity, the shame he felt in the men's locker room, the pain he suffered when he was nicknamed Tom Thumb by insensitive and mocking peers. The mega-catechists did not delay beyond commanding him to turn to the pious intercession of Carmen Hernández. And so, one morning, epic, he noticed that between his legs he had ... and all the neighbors heard the screams of a male voice shouting "miracle miracle!».

.

A few weeks later Armando Bronca Segura sent the entire Neocatechumenal Way to be blessed with his mega-catechists, completely changing life. Today she works in the world of porn, where he is one of the highest paid actors. His first film entitled The stallion of Vallecas, available in Italian version with title The Vallecas stallion, marked a resounding international success.

.

It is not at all irreverent I will indicate to future memory Carmen Hernández eats The Holy of Cock, because there is nothing vulgar in this expression, on the contrary, everything is true, all historical and documented. Numerous eyewitnesses are still healthy and vegetative today, clergy and laity of all nationalities, that during numerous public contexts they have heard it interspersed: «… And fuck… and fuck!». One time, that pious woman of Chiara Lubich, who was as sweet and delicate as a porcelain doll, being with Luigi Giussani at a meeting attended by all the founders and foundresses of lay movements on the occasion of the great Jubilee of 2000, he was about to pass out on the ground, hearing a short distance from her, the future Santa Carmen Hernández, that between one cigarette and the next he conversed by interspersing "... and fuck ... and fuck!».

.

If then this noble organ it is an element that usually surfaces on the mouths of candidates for beatification, at least one wonders ... what the fuck are they doing, those who work within the Holy Church with the causes of the Saints? Or maybe, in the face of the opening of the beatification process of a person who is, to say the least, impossible to propose such as Carmen Hernández, we must also take them seriously? No, unfortunately we just have to take them for the piss, we have no other suitable defense weapon, if not the wise and charitable taking of the ass towards those who think they can transform the Holy Church of Christ into a grotesque and squalid theater of ridicule, changing the heroic nature of the virtues, namely the sanctity, in an award even given to heretics and to coarse Spanish bullshit.

.

All this to perennial shame the Cardinal Carlos Osoro Sierra, to which perhaps no one has ever said that the Spanish College of Rome, promoter at the time of a lawsuit open in 1953 under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Madrid, he is rotting the documents of the beatification process of Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val in a basement, one of our great twentieth century giants, illustrious son of the blood of Spain. Always admitted that someone, to the Metropolitan Archbishop of Madrid, that just five years after his death opens the buffoonish diocesan phase of the beatification process of Carmen Hernández, explained who he was and what a giant like was for the Church of the twentieth century Rafael Merry del Val and Zuleta. Because he might not even know him, even knowing if anything, maybe even good, that Pedro Almodovar than the Spanish Catholic Church, for how it is reduced, he deserves it all, from his first to his latest anti-Catholic film.

Denying the existence of woman means denying the very existence of man

DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF A WOMAN MEANS DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF MAN

woman covered by burqa

The community is an aggregation of associates which establish rules of coexistence for a quiet life. It is known as within it, be it of humans or animals, already widely tested in its time, and over and over, even with families of mice, the researchers realized that with the passage of time the latter, despite being animals, they developed real hierarchy systems: distinction between sex and roles to be filled, with absolute prevarication of a real one “Capo” on another. Deputies to the role of proliferation and food assistance only, they are the females showing however on the whole real human habits. This is also why, and hats, they are valuable animals used for laboratory experiments. And the gratitude towards them is so great that in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk a memorial to the laboratory rat was erected..

.

Assumption of the human community, for millennia - which evidently does not differ so much from that of certain animal species -, it was the formation of hierarchical scales with their own role, to reach, unlike the animal class, the formation of a real company, with systems of law and coexistence, albeit stratified, add, civil, which gave rise to culture and progress, in the development of the civitas, therefore respecting the identity of the subject in general, of any sex, and that in this regard it is not one res as Roman society understood, or the last lowest stratum of the population, but who enjoys equal rights and duties without any distinction.

.

If of roles, then, you want to discuss, women as a gender also erroneously considered more fragile and weak, in general, in civil society, it was the protagonist of a long and vast path of real emancipation, as well as ethical and social redemption, reaching the equation in all or almost to man. From the conduct of “domestic outbreak”, to the growth of the offspring, to work duties, until today the coverage of international political roles of clear stature and of the highest level. The woman has "imposed" herself with a spirit of self-denial and determination in civil society. It's here, it would be enough just to remember incidentally that the first president of the European Parliament was a great female figure, Madama Simone Veil.

.

However, the epithet of fragile, which is an index of the weaker sex, it stuck to her almost like a tattoo, to remind man - or perhaps in this sense, better to use the term male - who can act boldly and often to his detriment with the utmost prevarication, abusing and perpetrating violence against it.

.

If the eastern society, well structured in the laws and culture based on the Islamic cult in the more rigid and restrictive implementation of the Sharia, it confines the woman to an inferior position, compared to the western one, resulting in the Taliban ethnic minority that deprives it of any subjective right, and which has recently taken control of an entire state, l’Afghanistan, do not forget that the East is no different, you want as a result of the failure of their own culture, you want excessive freedom of movement, commits heinous crimes of real femicide, without obeying any Taliban authority, but only to the reckless criminal selfish sense of some men.

.

Art understood as the most immediate reflection of society, as always, it is a communication tool par excellence and invites us to discover what the interpretation of the times has conveyed regarding what has just been written. From the passive appearance of the female presence on the canvases of masters of various eras, up to the active one of artists who have been able to transmit their own message, even if they are lucky or unfortunate, through the works of their own invoice. Amata, idolized as a beauty-holder Venus, like a goddess of prosperous procreative fertility; from the spiritual essence to the sensual and bewitching one, sweetness and temptation, virtuosity and generosity, altruism and solidarity, protection and apprehension (…) thrust and engine of the world. Filled with them are the Art Galleries of the female subject immortalized on the canvas or the Glyptotecs which represent her as the wisest or most sensual exponent of the Olympic Parade, later handed down to the Christian repertoire as the Virgin, Mother of Christ, and as the most emblematic figure of holiness or as a distinguished noblewoman or as a simple humble and dignified commoner.

.

The history of art has always told us about the female universe as the greatest inspiration for the artist, since the earliest times, transmitting to us the interpretation and role that women have assumed over the centuries. The social function of art, Today more than ever, does not betray its dissemination mission of creating works of any technique punctually assigned to iconographic reportage rather than textual chronological reporting to inform and sign what the world lives and breathes.

.

How many adjectives could define the woman who has not already made the repertoire of art history of all cultures from centuries to today? I'm not biased. But I cannot help but consider some terrifying aspects of the serious plagiarism and crime that afflicts our Western and Eastern civil society still in the millennium of telematic speed., where everything is at the speed of light like a crime to all humanity?! If in fact it is the media that inform us of the disasters perpetrated in the East to women and children, in the execution of a fanatical and rigid intolerance and submission to a faith, created by man's own blindness, of an unspeakable squalid, indescribable “community” which has not developed any criteria or rules, that may appear with the name of the company, not to mention the assigned civilian, which is the Taliban one; a community on earth that does not consider woman as simply Being can still insist? Imagine recognizing a role for it!

.

Totally hide it from a cloak and the so-called burqa to want to mortify the body and any material and expressive features of a face, entirely darkened, in fact, it means denying its very existence. But it is also clear that denying the existence of woman means denying the very existence of man. These individuals realize in their utopian criminal schizophrenia that without a woman there is no one “to be” nefarious like them would never have come into the world even to carry out such a crime? On the other hand and parallel to this sort of aberrant genocide, it is consumed in the West, albeit with a dripping effect, a perpetual and equally shameful crime of absolute denial of its existence through the almost monthly femicide carried out by what we call civil society. It is the same civil society that consumes and abuses in an equally ruthless way the brutality of these crimes through the means of the media that spread them, through real ones format complete with investigations and reconstructions, giving the audience a “cinema of terror” with lots of commentators guests who say “their” in the enhancement of a horror show.

.

And motives, often deputed to the unbridled selfish desire of a sick form of possession by the male, they cannot exist, it is easier to talk about causes, which among others are of extreme anthropological and intellectual decadence of a society devoid of any form of piety and Christian ethics. This society is based on unbridled consumerism, not evolving, but it appears immobile and frozen in the sterility of values ​​and in the growth of a banal physical appearance, superficial, as well as the interpreters themselves (artists) of our time they communicate to us through their works, they replace the great beauty of nature, of the soul and heart, reminding us that society is heading towards a complete and absolute decline.

"The coup of the politically correct" an unmissable book by Francesco Mangiacapra that also analyzes the hair of the politically correct naked king

- shop book editions of The Island of Patmos -

"THE GOLPE OF THE POLITICALLY CORRECT" AN UNMISSABLE BOOK BY FRANCESCO MANGIACAPRA WHICH ALSO ANALYZES THE HAIR OF THE NAKED KING POLITICALLY CORRECT

“When democracy is corroded by the cancer of the politically correct, it turns into a dictatorship of minorities, an anti-democratic regime whose integralism is constituted by the denial of objective reality to favor a fanatical extreme sense of respect towards all, in which, in order not to run into a potential offense to the detriment of certain categories of people, and discriminates, the freedom of thought and expression of majorities is denied and abjured.

A homosexual who does not identify with the powerful gay lobby he ends up ostracized and receives the applause of that sovereign and Christian public they so abhorred: this is what happened to the former gigolo Francesco Mangiacapra, known for having presented to the Vatican a dossier on fifty gay priests of his former clients.

.

"The gigolo and the priest friend" is the preface written for the book by Francesco Mangiacapra by Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, founder of the Editions The island of Patmos. And this is already a program [click here to open the PDF with the back cover]

.

The lead hood of "politically correct" it weighs on a society indifferent to real violence, but ready to exhibit at the Pillory, for a joke or a harmless satire, who dares to oppose the single thought. Despising freedom of thought, it has come to propose a law that punishes not so much words, works and omissions but the thoughts of the non-aligned. In The coup of the politically correct Mangiacapra analyzes some significant themes of modern civilization, ranging from the dynamics relating to immigration policies, to the dysfunction of the canonical organisms towards a large slice of the population to favor a minority; analyzes the rampant hypocrisy of the “politically correct” and the ease with which this is spread, blurring the less attentive minds that demean themselves, embracing philosophies of thought that often lead to limiting the faculty of judgment and expression of those who get involved in this vortex of fake respectability.

.

"When democracy is corroded by the cancer of politically correct" says Mangiacapra: «It is transformed into a dictatorship of minorities, an anti-democratic regime whose integralism is constituted by the denial of objective reality to favor a fanatical extreme sense of respect towards all, in which, in order not to run into a potential offense to the detriment of certain categories of people, and discriminates, the freedom of thought and expression of majorities is denied and abjured. A tyranny that claims to de-legitimize civil society from the faculty of opinion on any social minority group, political or religious because they have all become undeniably sacred and untouchable ".

.

Mangiacapra's essay has the merit, first of all, not to be a product dictated by emotionality, but rather a long-considered research and therefore rich in articulated objective analyzes. An illuminating critique of an elite emerges - whose Modus Operandi has now risen to a system - which requires to regulate everything according to the assumed superior ability of its members to read and interpret the psycho-physical, ethical and health problems of today's society and consequently to apply the solutions - they say - evolved, more suitable and effective in the interest of certain, particular minorities, of which they present themselves as philanthropic benefactors. The mentality underlying the rule ends up establishing the dictatorship of the small minority, favoring "the most intolerant", in the face of an inattentive majority, flexible, subtly circumvented and then harassed. They act according to a very precise and sophisticated socio-political strategy through which the ideological fanaticism of a few – who pass off a series of secular dogmas as ethical imperatives – it actually introduces a creeping totalitarianism into people's heads, managing to cloud common sense and the collective interest of the majority. They are recognized as advocates of the politically correct and for this alleged merit they are supported by advertising and pseudo-information campaigns well orchestrated by the media through newspapers, magazines, cultural programs, investigation and in-depth analysis, TV series, film, talk show where some of their members are regular guests, very active on social networks and followed by hosts of followers.

.

On a superficial reading it could be concluded that Mangiacapra proposes a misanthropic vision, misogynist and racist of life, but in reality the object of criticism is not the single individual or the single issue but the exploitation that a certain political and intellectual band makes about the most controversial issues of our time: the Author does not hate women but disputes vulgar feminism, he does not hate animals, but he disputes exacerbated animalism, he does not hate foreigners but disputes reckless policies on foreigners. Clear is the purpose of conducting arguments that have the aim of dismantling the national-popular propaganda that a certain intelligentsia he wants to feed us through the media.

.

A politically incorrect essay in a regime where the right of criticism has become “an inversion of the burden of proof”, and the do-gooders imposed by law rise to the official doctrine of liberal-democratic totalitarianism. Topics for which, for years, the gay activist for sexual self-determination and civil rights, it is censored on social networks and ostracized by the lobby of the LGBT associations themselves.

We must take note, to the proven proof of the facts, that the true liberals who respect democratic rules are us Catholics, not the radical ideologues of the LGBT movements who sue you for every slightest sigh of dissent, having money and special law firms to apply an old and dangerous entirely fascist logic: «Punish one to educate a hundred». But the Senate of the Italian Republic was not involved in this game, especially today when the most violent of all risk being the fascists of anti-fascism. This is why the Zan Bill was scuttled.

Luigi Amicone (Milan, 4 October 1956 – Monza, 19 October 2021)

Thursday 21 October Luigi Amicone's funeral took place in the cathedral church of Monza, died just 65 year old. In front of him he could have another twenty years of life to live, according to today's statistics on the average life span of the Italian man, which are not few. His death was announced to me early in the morning, Tuesday 19, by a confrere of the Diocese of Milan, raised in the ranks of Communion and Liberation, the Movement founded by the Ambrosian presbyter Luigi Giussani.

.

Luigi was not a longtime friend, but a sincere friend with whom it was a pleasure to talk. several times we met between the 2019 and the 2021 to various television programs on the Mediaset networks, once we even got into a fight on the subject of Our Lady of Medjugorje, known as Madam, on which I have always had deep reservations. Then, the debate ended and the live cameras closed, he told me:

.

«Ariel, I respect you as a man of faith. And men of faith I recognize them, they are necessarily tough like you, I think I can say this because I was a pupil of Luigi Giussani, which was not a waffle at all ".

.

After having received the announcement of his death, shortly after, I turned the phone over in my hands, I opened the whatsapp on contact Luigi Amicone and for a few minutes I retraced various memories that have remained etched in the archive memory:

.

«Luigi, you were wonderful on the program Fifth Title su Rai3, a warm greeting and a warm wish " (23.03.2021)»

.

«Thanks Ariel, I almost want to ask one of your intelligence: do journalism! We are surrounded by ignorance, bad faith, lie, and what is serious is that they know it and do not waver. Just like a Nazi or Communist official must have been " (23.03.2021)

.

I remember then, with love and fun, an interview last summer, while Luigi was in his holiday home in Sardinia, in the Sassari area, I, on the other hand, on the other island, in my holiday home in the Ortigia of Syracuse. Commenting on some pages of my book And Satan became triune, in the part where I analyze the problem of lobby gay ecclesiastical, mi said:

.

"Knowing the environment, I guess what they did to you in retaliation, after you have written these pages ".

.

Continuing on that delicate speech I burst out saying that Vatican City State is the country with the highest percentage of gay population in the world. He laughed and replied:

.

«You don't care about this sentence, at the first opportunity that presents itself to me, I will sell it back immediately ".

.

Soon said, the opportunity presented itself a few days later, when in external connection from his home near Sassari he participated in a program on the Mediaset networks, where during his speech he began by saying:

.

«Let alone if we Catholics can be surprised by the Zan bill, when the Vatican City State is the country with the highest percentage of gay population in the world ".

.

I call him having fun on the phone the morning of the next day, first I make fun of him for how he was tanned, wondering if the Sardinian sun had taken it all as he did, then I begin:

.

"Ah, how happy I am to have done the gray eminence behind you!».

.

He replies:

.

“But don't bullshit, "behind"? You have been spitting them in everyone's face for a lifetime, for this you will never become a Most Reverend Eminence ".

.

Luigi made me think, not so much about death, mystery on which I am used to meditating every day, aware that my heart, like that of anyone, it could stop beating at any moment, suddenly. I also wrote a book on death, dealing with the hindmost in the form of a narrative, which will soon be printed.

.

With his sudden disappearance Luigi led me to reflect on the relationship of contemporary society to death. This is what I intend to reflect on now, including the report, or rather the non-relationship or the denied relationship of the mass media with death, where death is not a spectacle through which Gianluigi Nuzzi, efficient Network gravedigger 4, transforms crimes and deaths into spectacles, in fiction which does not stimulate at all to reflect on man, or on the psychological violence that leads certain subjects to the most violent heinous crimes, but which only stimulates morbid itching.

.

As a professional Luigi was not a journalist for a local newspaper that narrates the facts and events of a provincial town, of those who on death are usually remembered in their locality by colleagues and fellow citizens who have read their articles for years. Luigi was a reporter for the national press, founder of one of the main Italian Catholic magazines, the monthly Times. Was, as I told a little earlier, a so-called television face representative of the Italian Catholic culture, with acceptable or unacceptable positions within the Catholic world itself, but who has made great contributions in many years of profession. This is why he has been a guest for years in the television debate rooms of all the main Mediaset and Rai programs, because he had opinions to express and he knew how to express them, shareable or not by the other opinion leaders present, because it is precisely on this that the debate is based.

.

I would have expected, I don't mean prime time or opening hours, but if anything at the end of the various journalistic or so-called in-depth programs talk show, that only one of those who have called him and often had in theirs parterre as a columnist over the years, before the final theme he said: «My colleague Luigi Amicone passed away on Tuesday, our editorial team joins its family members in condolence ". A message of this kind would have occupied a space of approx 7 from 8 seconds to close a program in which if anything, Giorgia Meloni or Matteo Salvini had made a monologue by 30 minutes without any commercial break, which is only valid - in an unavoidable way - when other guests and opinion leaders speak. On the other hand, no one has dedicated a few seconds of memory to a colleague who is anything but unknown, in a world of communication in which cynicism and indifference reign supreme, where what is presented as a sensitive human interest is not such, but something wanted and studied on the cold basis of audience ratings. Or does someone seriously believe that that bubbly conductor really cares about something poor and modest people who find themselves with their houses occupied by swindlers that no one can hunt and who do not pay rents.? And note: it is not, this mine, a process of intentions, which would also be a serious contradiction in terms with my theological training and with my previous and now distant juridical training. It is simply a fact, you just need to know the televisions, the editorial offices of newspapers and especially those who work within them.

.

No, naive souls, certain themes do not arise from the desire to defend the rights of the weak, everything arises only from pure and cold criteria dictated by the ratings. Because if that dedicated block in that talk show to the squatters of houses did not raise the ratings of commercial television, which stands as obvious as it is legitimate on advertising and audience ratings, you can rest assured that this thoughtful champion of justice and defense of the weak would not hesitate to talk about the depth of the whale's ass in the next installment, if the whaling colonoscopy did more plays.

.

The indifferent cannot be sensitive, he cannot love justice and truth by making himself champion of the weak, because wild utilitarianism or hypertrophic narcissism support the mental and social system of indifference, that end up making the world of information a world of deformation and often of manipulation, all for political purposes, economic and subliminal address on the masses.

.

Turning to various television programs I met two people who I consider friends and who are respectively: one, a trans, Vlady Guadagno, in art Vladmir Luxuria, another is a homosexual, balanced activist LGBT and liberal in the round, it is the famous and excellent scientific popularizer Alessandro Cecchi Paone, who has a vision of life and of mankind that is different from mine, for example with regard to abortion or euthanasia, but who I immediately esteemed as a loyal and sensitive man who knows what friendship and respect for friends are, especially for those who don't think like him. This makes Alessandro Cecchi Paone a genuine liberal, with whom I could speak with serenity about everything that divides us in the different human feeling, but to which I am united by something which unites even men with the most diverse thoughts: respect for the freedom of the other, which for him is the cornerstone of Liberalism, for me it is the very suffix of the creation of man, created by God free and endowed with free will.

.

Only now that the mortal remains of Luigi Amicone they have been returned to the earth, I understand his message that I reported at the beginning, certainly not because he called me "intelligent", but because in that message it defines the situation and state of the world of information:

.

«Thanks Ariel, I almost want to ask one of your intelligence: do journalism! We are surrounded by ignorance, bad faith, lie, and what is serious is that they know it and do not waver. Just like a Nazi or Communist official must have been " (23.03.2021)

.

Rest in peace in the grace and mercy of God, I'll miss you, my dear Buddy.

Conversation with Andrea Turazzi Bishop of San Marino-Montefeltro: "In the ancient Republic where the referendum on abortion won with the 77,28% of votes, Mount Titano will become like Mount Taygetos?

INTERVIEW WITH ANDREA TURAZZI BISHOP OF SAN MARINO-MONTEFELTRO: «IN THE ANCIENT REPUBLIC WHERE THE REFERENDUM ON ABORTION WON WITH THE 77,28% OF VOTES, MONTE TITANO WILL BECOME LIKE MONTE TAIGETO?

.

«I don't think it's relevant nor do I think it's right to compare the San Marino people to the Spartans. It is necessary not to identify that 77% Of “Yes” to abortion with the extremely aggressive and ideological attitude of some groups. The Referendum in San Marino was celebrated as a proactive referendum to ask for decriminalisation. However, the request also raises the possibility of an abortion without limitations. In fact, it only takes into account the woman's point of view. The rights of the unborn child are not adequately considered.".

INTRODUCTORY HISTORICAL NOTE: THE ANCIENT SERENISSIMA REPUBLIC

.

(C)capital of the Republic of San Marino: the fortress, also called yelp, on the top of Mount Titano

In the Republic of San Marino this the most serene, 33.860 inhabitants, after a heated referendum campaign, those entitled to vote went to the polls where the 77,28% of voters voted in favor of abortion. A result that brings to mind certain oceanic majorities and that leads us to reflect also animated by understandable anxiety.

The theme of ours The interview that follows deserves a historical and hagiographic introduction. The Republic was born on 3 September 301. Its founder was Marino, a stonecutter native to the island of Rab who fled Dalmatia during the persecutions of Christians initiated by Diocletian. With a small Christian community he settled on Mount Titano, the highest of the seven hills where the capital stands today. The owner of that land was a certain Felicissima, rich noblewoman from the city of Rimini who donated that property to the community of Marino, who will later title it in his name. Together with Marino, the figure of another stonemason stands out, Leo or Leo. This second, after also arriving on Monte Titano it moved to Monte Feliciano, known today as Montefeltro, continuing to work on the extraction and processing of stones. On that hill Leo will build a church, in an area now called San Leo, co-cathedral of the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro, which has its own cathedral and bishopric in Pennabilli, town of approx 1.000 inhabitants. Marino and Leo, according to the ancient deacon tradition, they are the patron saints of the Diocese. The community of San Marino became independent in the 8th century when it fell of the Byzantine army of Ravenna, metropolitan archiepiscopal seat of which the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro is a suffragan. The bond between the ancient Republic - which was born from deep Christian roots - and the Church of Rome has always been very close and solid. In 1291 the Supreme Pontiff Nicholas IV recognized San Marino as a Christian republic.

Even today the Serenissima Republic it has diplomatic relations with the Holy See and the apostolic nunciature is located on its territory. The office of apostolic nuncio is held by the Apostolic Nuncio to Italy, who carries out his diplomatic office with double accreditation: to the Government of the Italian Republic and to the Government of the Republic of San Marino. This is why the diplomatic headquarters of the Holy See in Italy is called Apostolic Nunciature in Italy and in the Republic of San Marino. The penultimate Apostolic Nuncio in serial order, S. AND. Mons. Adriano Bernardini (2011-2017), he was a particular and appreciated expert on the history of that country. Even though he was trained at the Pontifical Roman Major Seminary and ordained priest for the Diocese of Rome, he was a native of Montefeltro (Piandimeleto, hamlet of Monastero). Another distinguished diplomat of the Holy See was also originally from Montefeltro, S. AND. Mons. Pietro Sambi, who was apostolic nuncio to the United States of America. The current Apostolic Nuncio is Swiss S. AND. Mons. Emil Paul Tscherrig. From the 2014 Bishop of the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro is S. AND. Mons. Andrea Turazzi.

The Bishops of San Marino, although holders of the episcopal seat and having a residence in the territory of the ancient Republic, they do not reside there permanently, this is for political reasons linked to the particular nature of the government of that country, where the two Heads of State are elected on a short periodic basis, called Captains Regent. Their Most Serene Excellencies in fact they remain in office for only six months. In such a small country and with such a system of government, the Bishop, who can remain on his episcopal chair for up to twenty or thirty years, could take on a role of greater authority than that of the periodic Heads of State, especially if he had a strong personality.

The people of San Marino are deeply proud of their ancient Republic and they have never liked the jokes of certain Italians from the surrounding neighboring Romagna. Diplomatic incidents with Italy over time are far from rare, for example when on the occasion of Armed Forces Day a satirical magazine from Romagna alluded to the San Marino air force made up of four remote-controlled helicopters and to its naval fleet made up of ten small boats made to spin in the water of a tank. Perhaps unaware, the ironic geographers, that the Republic has no access to the sea and that San Marino could have a naval fleet on a par with Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein, but also of European countries with a much larger territorial extension about which no one makes fun due to the lack of naval fleets: Austria, Hungary, Slovakia … Or when the San Marino Armed Forces went on maximum alert - which happened more than once - due to military vehicles of the Italian Army who crossed its territory. An episode understandably experienced as an invasion, until arousing the vibrant protests of H.E. Antonella Mularoni minister of foreign affairs. Because with all due respect to the laughing and joyous people of Romagna surrounding and neighboring, the San Marino people are proud of their country and their Republic, the oldest in the world. For this reason they deserve profound respect, above all profound historical respect.

INTERVIEW WITH ANDREA TURAZZI BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF SAN MARINO-MONTEFELTRO

S. AND. Mons. Andrea Turazzi, Bishop of San Marino-Montefeltro

(D). Excellency, you were born in Stellata di Bondeno (Ferrara) ordained priest for the Archdiocese of Ferrara-Comacchio (27.05.1972). He was esteemed by the then Archbishop of Ferrara-Comacchio Carlo Caffarra (1995-2003). For four decades he lived in contact with the People of God, exercising his sacred priestly ministry as a parish priest, dedicating himself in the meantime to the training of future priests as spiritual director of the seminary and teacher of pastoral theology. He was elected to the episcopal seat of San Marino-Montefeltro by the Supreme Pontiff Francis (30.11.2013) and consecrated bishop by Cardinal Carlo Caffarra (24.01.2014), Archbishop of Bologna (2003-2015). We can begin by asking you for your personal memories of this bishop and theologian who returned to the House of the Father on 6 September 2017, remembered today as one of the greatest experts on marriage issues, of the family and human procreation?

.

R. I was lucky enough to have the then Don Carlo Caffarra as a professor. I remember perfectly the clarity and depth of his lessons. Extremely rigorous, but extraordinarily welcoming. The Ferrara episcopate of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra left an imprint on each of us priests, but I think it had a profound impact on him too: he added, to the robustness of the thoroughbred theologian, the delicacy of the shepherd (strongly and sweetly). I have many personal memories, which I jealously guard; I share two: his tears during a coffee break, at the Regional Episcopal Conference, due to the decline in vocations; his joy in telling me about the "spiritual" experience he lived in the Conclave that elected Pope Francis. I had no "doubt" about Cardinal Carlo Caffarra's attachment to the person of the Holy Father - Pope Francis - and not only to the "papacy". This is demonstrated by the fact that when some attempted to place Cardinal Caffarra in conflict with the Holy Father on family issues, he didn't hesitate to answer:

«I would have been more pleased if it were said that the Archbishop of Bologna has a lover, rather than it being said that he has a mind contrary to that of the Pope. Because if a bishop has a thought contrary to that of the Pope he must go, but just you have to go by the diocese, because it would lead the faithful on a path that is no longer that of Jesus Christ. He would therefore lose himself eternally and risk the loss of the faithful. It is something that deeply saddened me because it is slanderous, because not only has the Pope never spoken about this, but when he spoke he asked for a debate. And the debate is real if all voices can speak. I was born a papist, I lived as a papist and a papist I want to die" [N.d.R. see video of the interview].

.

(D). As Bishop of the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro he found himself faced with a referendum campaign for the legalization of abortion within a country that is the smallest and oldest republic in the world. She immediately made it clear that for the particular Church she governed, what was at stake was not a political issue but an issue that touched a very sensitive chord in our faith.: human life, considered as such by us Catholics from the moment of conception. Of course, everything was played out on the political terrain, that of the referendum, through the free expression of popular will. He believes that those in favor of the legalization of abortion understood that for the Bishop it was not a purely political question but a delicate question of conscience?

.

R. I intervened as a pastor. As far as I know, the people of San Marino have never contested my positions expressed in my speech to the San Marino Vicariate, in two homilies in the Basilica under solemn circumstances (The body of the Lord and Solemnity of San Marino), finally two press releases close to the referendum, appreciated by many for their clarity and tone. Diverse vleisure of “sign yes” have taken on evident ideological tones, with typical slogans: «Nor God, nor Church, but women decide for themselves...". The “no” it was essentially supported by two formations: a secular one, with rational reasons, of science and anthropology; the other constituted by the Council of Ecclesial Aggregations (about ten). Officially the parties have appealed for freedom of conscience. But different parties (some of the government of the Republic) have given full support to the campaign for “Yes”.

.

(D). According to the official statistics of 2019, on a population of 33.860 inhabitants the San Marino Catholics constitute the 97,2% of the population, made up of baptized people. Whereas the 77,28% of voters voted in favor of legalizing abortion, perhaps the result of this referendum is not a paradigm of the feelings of contemporary society? Faced with this quorum, How many Catholics could there be who, after having voted in favor of the law on abortion, then went to Holy Mass on Sunday after leaving the polls?, feeling with a conscience in perfect order? If so, does not believe that we would be faced with a split between being Catholic and putting into practice what our faith considers a good that is never and under any circumstances available, human life?

.

R. Frankly, I didn't expect such a sensationally unbalanced outcome. It is evident that even in San Marino the conditioning of the dominant culture weighs heavily, secularization and the split between faith and life: many are Christians without ever having decided to be! Perhaps this referendum could have been avoided with mediation between the political forces. However, regardless of the outcome, it was the occasion of a leap of awareness and responsibility: for Catholics to be more coherent in bearing witness to the Gospel of life and for everyone to support a culture and politics favorable to the family.

.

(D). In Monday's edition 27 September the newspaper of the Bishops of Italy, L'Avvenire, talks about many issues to be resolved after the "yes" from the Republic of San Marino. The Bishops' newspaper highlights the failure to indicate a time limit which could lead to the possibility of abortion up to the ninth month, with the risk of creating a free port for free abortion within Italian territory. He thinks this risk could translate into reality?

.

R. I hope that the law that will be introduced in the Republic of San Marino is formulated in such a way as to take into account the sensitivity in favor of the lives of many San Marino people. At the Great and General Council (Parliament) requests to this effect have already been filed. The low turnout at the polls should be considered a real defeat, but this data also tells the relative value of the referendum outcome. Far from imagining a "Catholic abortion" - abortion is always and in any case a crime - I hope that we arrive at a balanced law, that truly manages to leave no one behind and does not limit itself to adopting the ideology of waste. The first commitment will consist in closely monitoring the evolution of the political debate on the subject, with the aim of preventing the failed Italian experience and the excesses of certain European abortive legislation, and to keep alive the humanitarian and Christian tradition of San Marino. The second commitment is “be close”: save lives, help mothers, support associations pro-life; not last, educational commitment towards young people and adults. Therefore, I have reasons to hope that a free port for free abortion will not be created.

.

(D). During the referendum campaign the opposing parties also argued heatedly over the so-called "selective abortion" which would allow the killing of children with Down syndrome, or to children suffering from anomalies which are not incompatible with a life worth living. We ask her: the Titan (N.d.R. The hill where the ancient settlement of the Serenissima Republic of San Marino stands is called Monte Titano), it could not run the risk of changing into the ancient Mount Taygetos, the hill from which the Spartans, according to mythological tales, they threw down deformed newborns or those judged too weak to live and grow according to the aesthetic and physical patterns of Greek culture?

.

R. I don't think it's relevant nor do I think it's right to compare the San Marino people to the Spartans. It is necessary not to identify that 77% Of “Yes” to abortion with the extremely aggressive and ideological attitude of some groups¹. The Referendum in San Marino was celebrated as a proactive referendum to ask for decriminalisation. However, the request also raises the possibility of an abortion without limitations. In fact, it only takes into account the woman's point of view. The rights of the unborn child are not adequately considered. There is no consideration of community responsibility. There are many possibilities for maternity protection in our time, considered scientific progress, economic resources, increased social sensitivity. It must not happen that a woman voluntarily terminates her pregnancy for economic reasons or due to lack of help and protection. Now the word goes to the legislator. It is hoped that a legislative framework of real help to women will be offered, of protection of life and acceptance of conscientious objection. There will certainly be legislation different from the current one; a freedom will be given that was not previously foreseen. I hope it is not an incentive to abortion, to a carelessness in decisions or - as Pope Francis recently said - "a very bad habit of killing".

.

(D). The condition of decadence in which we find ourselves at an ecclesial level is evident, the Church being world in the world, as evidenced by the dissociation between being Catholic and living and thinking Catholic which leads to a majority of 77,28% in favor of the abortion law. Allow us to ask a question that is not easy to ask a bishop: as pastors caring for souls and as theologians, how many serious responsibilities we have, in the face of all this? We have recently had cases of Italian priests who have publicly declared themselves in favor of euthanasia with great coverage in the national media. Of course, these are few cases, but the resonance of these few is destined to create scandal and disorientation among the People of God, already too disoriented. It's not that we have lost the perception of the sacredness of The gift of life within the very context of training for the ministerial priesthood? This is why we ask you: where we can start again?

.

R. I repeat: one cannot be Catholic and deny the very principles of Catholicism, such as the absolute right to life and the human dignity of the conceived, as I had the opportunity to underline on the feast of the Patron Saint and Founder Marino, the 3 last September. There are Catholics involved on the social front, on human rights and on the major issues of ecology. Some others accentuate the attention to the protection of non-negotiable ethical values; sometimes it seems that a gap emerges between the two perspectives. I felt the duty to reiterate to both of them the Gospel of God's love for man, the Gospel of the dignity of the person and the Gospel of life are one single and indivisible Gospel. I also offer another consideration to be interpreted in the right direction. We are paying close attention, spending resources and effort, to human promotion. We can only appreciate the work, eg, of the diocesan Caritas, the testimony of volunteering, Pastoral programs in favor of the emergencies and needs of the people. However, I would like just as much impetus for evangelization. I would like to highlight the primacy of the announcement of Jesus Christ more: be hope in a wounded world! In the next few days we will draw up a sort of "roadmap" in our Diocese:

– support for our faithful in the experience of a faith capable of interacting with the world and raising hopes;

– accompaniment of people in difficulty, spiritual guidance and appropriate catechesis;

– convergent work of the pastoral offices on the theme of life;

– sustainability of a family counseling center;

– celebration of the Vigil for emerging Life e, like in Italy, of the Day for Life.

.

(D). Rod Dreher wrote the book The Benedict option, to be understood as the escape of Benedict from Norcia who dares to separate from the Empire now corrupt and devastated by the barbarian invaders in order to rediscover his own origins, one's roots and the Christian identity which today in the world sounds like an unpronounceable blasphemy". Think about us Catholics, without ceasing to be world within the world, but also adverse to certain logics of this world, from abortion to euthanasia and for this reason hated by the world when necessary (cf.. GV 15, 18-21), we will end up arriving at a new "Benedict option" suitable for our contemporary society?

.

R. I know Rod Dreher's book The Benedict option. We also talked about it for a long time. We were able to appreciate interesting and certainly positive results. I wouldn't want the vocation of "yeast in dough" to be weakened, the will to take on and "inhabit" this time of ours. We cannot give in to the syndrome of feeling besieged. Also a "Catholic" agricultural cooperative, or a “Catholic” school, more than commendable initiatives, they must engage in dialogue and offer inspiration to everyone.

.

(D). We asked one of its presbyters to paint their Bishop for us, he responded like this: «My Bishop is a believer of solid faith and a true pastor. He is always ready to go out of his way for his priests, which he would never abandon in the solitude and discouragement of the dark night. It is always present, and he is very jealous of his priests, knowing full well how jealous God is of all of us". What effect does it have on you to know that one of your priests responded to us like this??

 

R. (The Bishop responds with a smile)

From the island of Patmos, 6 October 2021

.

.

¹ N.d.R. The San Marino voters were only 14.558 equal to 41,11 of those entitled (circa 35.400). The favorable ones were around 11.250 equal to 77,28% of voters while those against approximately 3.308 equal to 22,72%. That impressive 77,28% represents only the 31,78% of voters, yet another proof that a fierce minority - in this case less than one San Marino in three - imposes its choices on the absent or inert majority out of laziness, little sense of responsibility, disinterest.
