THEOLOGICAL REFLECTION ON CORONAVIRUS: TRA CORRECT INFORMATION AND DANGEROUS IDIOTS OF BUFFALO INTERNETICI, WHILE THE MAN IS NO LONGER ABLE TO READ THE SIGNS OF THE EARTH AND SKY

.

What to say, in the Church today: poor and migrants ahead of everything and everyone, while a dangerous virus is spreading, but for the moment there are treatments and vaccines. From all this you know well that, the worst virus, It is that for some time it has spread within the Catholic Church. The serious thing is that we, to save us from pandemic, the vaccine We have it all right. But if you dare to indicate, or worse to ask for it to be used, risks being literally torn apart by the useful and dangerous idiots who praise the "epoch-making revolution" of the "Church of the new course".

the Prof tweet. Roberto Burioni, microbiologist and virologist at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele Hospital in Milan

When you go to a large audience, He rests always upon us the duty not to embark on analyzes that require very deep scientific expertise.

.

Internet Brule subjects ranging from spin doctors to those who vent the worst of their idiocy, up to transcend the real tragedy that takes dangerous form at the time when the idiot who writes is taken seriously by a large number of many idiots who read. The consequences of this bidding market and purchase of idiocy, I was often complained of high scientific expertise and reputation as much distinguished Roman clinical, many of them old friends often, with the priest friend, cataracts have opened their private outbursts. One of the most common complaints is related to the field diagnostic. It is not uncommon that after thorough clinical examination and careful study of the case, these specialists say they feel with uncanny ease from patient, or who accompanies him: "... but I read on the internet that ...". Sometimes some of them asked to patients or their carers where they read like so anti-scientific news. Then, going below to verify they have established themselves in a way that people without the basic scientific criteria, dissertassero with dangerous ease on sensitive issues ranging from oncology to infectious diseases, not to mention the team of anti-vaccinisti.

.

I know distinguished and excellent specialists Clinicians have reported very serious situations and triggered the judicial investigation, After their reunion before cases of unprecedented severity produced from the dangerous ignorance of idiots and idiots writers internetici internetici users. Several times it happened that oncologists have complained that they had found before cancer patients in terminal state that could have been saved if treated quickly, all for the son or daughter, naturists internetici convinced and practitioners, aimed at ... "medicine natural" alternative to the cry of "No, the multinational pharmaceutical companies that speculate on diseases with drugs that can do serious damage to the body '. To follow with pediatric specialists, who have alerted the Public Prosecutor's Office several times after finding themselves faced with children with serious problems caused by parents who are followers of the vegan sect, that fruitarian, and so to follow.

.

Not so much to defuse, if anything, to frame in a spirit of solidarity participated this tragedy, I often responded to these friends that we priests and theologians share with clinical specialists in different way, but very similar, the same painful, frustrating and tragic fate. Not a few Catholics who after reading four idiotic pseudo-pseudo-theological and doctrinal internet, or after misunderstood complex documents of the Magisterium of the Church, extrapolating from them cleft sentences from contexts that require a very deep preparation, shameless manner in addressing an undoubted theologian preparation moving the haughty challenge: "No, is not as you say ... ". In such cases it is almost always useless to say and point out the right and obvious truth, because the "theologian" internetico is ready to respond with decisive and rare arrogance: "Look ..., she must document, indeed must study well its matter, because I've read that ... ". And in the face of all this one wonders even, from that holy woman of my mother, why sometimes I begin with the very worst swear words than those of a longshoreman, the series: "To learn to say all these bad words, It was it necessary for you to become a priest?».

.

The Internet has given us the new age digital illiteracy and unreason, especially new forms of superstition that have nothing to do with the ancient or old forms of yore, the base of which was, however, a culture based on old traditions and folk beliefs. Otherwise, behind the new superstitions, there is no culture, or traditions or beliefs rooted but the irrational that feeds irrational, ignorance that feeds the worst arrogance that comes from non-knowledge that is transformed into a real pride of the non-philosophical knowledge, historical, scientific.

.

Can, a clinical specialist a wrong diagnosis and giving ineffective treatment, perhaps even harmful? Yup, it can happen, Also, and just to human error completely involuntary, without that the specialist was in any way nor superficial or negligent. But what seems increasingly lacking in our society today, is the logic of common sense that should push this assessment: It produces more risks and damage an oncologist who missed diagnosis, or "clinical" internetico improvised persuades a family member to take care with the "medicine" natural alternative, inducing the sufferer to reach oncologist when tumor metastases are now spread throughout the body from head to foot in, with the result that the only possible treatment is hospitalization in the center for the terminally ill, where the only treatments are for pain resulting from cancer that struck him?

.

In this kind of situation here it is that tragedy adds tragedy, why some idiots are never wrong. Messi fact before the reality of the dead, They are able to state that the consequence of death - far from being the result of their irresponsible idiocy - is due to chemtrails, nuclear testing, to drugs and vaccines that contain within itself so that the subject carcinogens develop cancer and multinational pharmaceutical companies in the future so they can get rich through medicines and chemotherapies.

.

on emergency of the coronavirus that China has now spread to several other countries of the world and for which there is currently no vaccine, we must first listen to the experts and scientists, then follow scrupulously the advice of clinical. One and the other, they can make mistakes? Yup, They may be wrong, but their human errors never would reach, nor ever they would have the devastating consequences that penalty have "solutions" and "diagnosis" offered by internetici idiots, followed in turn, practices and rigor, by an ever-growing army of users idiots internetici.

.

Our readers know well how often I have recourse to paradoxes more or less in effect, sometimes even shocking. With these results: on the one hand there are those who ride, but laughing understands the message, while on the other there are those who get angry, accusing rather vulgar and refusing categorically to understand. Well, addressing the first, not the latter enclosed in the sphere of unreasonable unrecoverable, I tell you: If you really want to use the Internet to harm you, if they really were required to choose the lesser evil, if so do the worst indigestion porn movies that you find available on the net, but do not pay heed to all the "experts" improvised who have already begun to sow news that have no scientific basis about the coronavirus.

.

I want to thank my friend engraved Paolo Del Debbio, of which I was a guest several times in the program Network 4 Straight and Reverse, to have dedicated last night a very interesting episode in which it was done correctly, precise and above all valuable information. If you have not seen the program and wanted to see him, You can find it available on the Internet [see WHO].

.

Very interesting among the many guests the presence of Prof. Alessandro Meluzzi, irreproachable scientist when performing the job of its close relevance: the clinical features of undoubted encyclopedic knowledge in medicine, which combines high skills related to its specialized branch, that is psychiatry. No one better than he could handle - and he did it very well -, The speech tied to the emergence of the problem by disclosing coronavirus viral infection perspective, then from that of the various forms of psychosis that it can come to life and develop socially. After having explained to scientific rigor the futility of protective masks; after realistically explained that trying to contain this virus would be "how to catch the air with his hands»; after saying that a vaccine is not there and you will not even be available in the near, with a smile concluded that part of the speech with a short joke: "Right now we just have to recommend us to the protection of the Virgin Mary, the only one at this time could do something '.

.

After this speech he intended to be a premise, place that the word is made by scientists, to virologists and clinical specialists, up to what is my "job" as a priest and theologian, to give another kind of reading. What I will do starting from the beat of Prof. Meluzzi: "Right now, only the Virgin Mary could do anything '.

.

Moving on to my area of ​​competence, I can say that on the other hand I fear another category no less virulent internetici idiots: that of the pseudo-Catholics who tend to live a "faith" dull and gloomy, made of views, revelations, disclosed or undisclosed secrets, message data from various Madonnas and so on, that almost always, and the penalty from them are misinterpreted, altered and manipulated in order to sow the terror - in truth not terrorize anyone, but that tends to make everyone laugh, by Catholics to secularists -, targeted in order first and last and above all to impose: I'm right!

.

Knowing as they say my chickens, I say with all due advance that the most bad that some real or alleged Catholics more easily service these, They can do in a time of emergency like this, It is to announce more or less predicted catastrophes, more or less contained in messages and private revelations, I remember, You have never been established by the Church in the deposit of faith. Or to put it bluntly: our faith does not depend on secrets disclosed or undisclosed information to the three shepherd children from Our Lady of Fatima, Like it or not certain ones. Our faith does not depend on beautiful image of the so-called triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, but it depends on the whole of the Incarnation of God's Word in the womb of the Virgin Mary, his saving death, by his resurrection and ascension into heaven, therefore it depends on the certainty, as we say in the Creed, Christ God "one day come again in glory to judge the living and the dead".

.

Also in these Catholics poor petty, I remember that there are three fundamental theological virtues: faith, hope and charity [cf.. The Cor 1, 13]. The terror, that they often try to use when they cry to the sins and sinners of this world fell into the abyss, always in “magica” e “fideistica” waiting for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, They do not need at all to shake the conscience, even to the sound of hellish visions or revelations of terrible punishments of this mystical or of this mystical. They serve only to produce effects totally opposed humans today and in today's modern society, through great effort and very uncertain outcomes successful, It needs to be re-evangelized, not terrified. And unfortunately today, we Catholics, we are being very badly, being terribly deficient evangelizers manly, credible and saints.

.

Or maybe they think that the theological virtues, three who were, four have become today, with the addition of the fourth virtue of terror? Not only does, the terror, does not redeem and not convert anyone, but as a priest holding the precious ministry of confessor, I remind all of them that if a person, socket fear, He decides to repent of their sins, only because it fears sentences and punishments, or because some "kind soul" terrified him with Hell visions of this mystical person or that seer, I can also absolve ten times, But sacramental absolution is worthless and has no effect. In fact, God wants our repentance, not our fear; our fear, He does not know what to do.

.

It is well known that certain revelations, including those recognized by the Church as authentic, but far from being as I explained were included in the deposit of faith, I have always viewed with suspicion, especially for very crazy theories that some faithful, but unfortunately also certain priests, they ended up creating especially about the messages of Our Lady of Fatima, prefixed in practice, by many, the Holy Gospel itself. They are therefore not in any way allergic to revelations itself recognized as authentic by the Church, be clear; if anything, they are opposed to the use that certain nefarious make. Similarly they are attacked by hives whenever certain subjects hailing the imminent triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary; and this not because I lack of devotion to the Blessed Virgin and to her Immaculate Heart, but always for the wrong use that certain subjects verges on fanaticism are the heart of the image Mater Dei.

.

In common lexicon, the term apocalypse, apocalyptic He has assumed an entirely negative connotation, and it is linked to catastrophic events. Not only is everything is wrong, because it involves a radical alteration of the meaning that is formed through the Greek entries from (input) e cover (beef), which gives life a composite word revelation (apokálypsis) which literally means: reveal, reveal what is hidden.

.

The Blessed Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation during his exile on the Island of Patmos, which takes its name this magazine; island also known as the site of the last revelation. That said, we can now make it clear that if there is a message of hope, which for us is the certainty of faith, this is precisely embodied in the Book of Revelation, which tells the definitive victory of good over evil and the coming of the kingdom of Christ, which will never end; an advent also known as parusia, the greek presence, which literally means "presence" and indicating the return of Christ in glory, its presence endless.

.

Having said that anyone can understand - with the exception of some "terrorists" Catholics that we hope not to see early work in this time of emergency given by the coronavirus -, that the heart of the Christian message and the entire mystery of the revelation, It is not terror, It not fears, but the central theological virtue of hope, which not coincidentally is in the middle and holding together the faith and charity. It's true, as taught by the Blessed Apostle Paul, and as we all teach with him, that "all three of the most important of these is love" [The Cor 1, 13], but hope, who is in the middle, repeat as is the virtue that binds and amalgamates together with other, including the most important: the charity.

.

Proceeding towards the end of this discourse all that theological and eschatological, all aimed at creating alarmism on objectively serious problem of coronavirus, more than legitimate is only right to ask: one day, near or far, because nobody can not know when, catastrophic events will occur, after which we will see if anything decimated the world's population and whole nations disappear? Well, without giving rise to alarmism and without irritating the secularists - who then, to the proven proof of the facts, They are more tolerant and ready to discussion than they are certain Catholic "terrorists" to cry: to this prophecy, So-Secret, So-mystical or so mystical say! - I can confidently say that the provision of a disastrous event is written in the deposit of our faith, so it is for us revealed faith, it was Jesus Christ himself to turn these words:

.

«[…] "When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified;. These things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end ". Then he said to them,: “People will rise against people and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes from place to place, famines and pestilences; There will be terrors and great signs from heaven ' " [LC 21, 8-11].

.

First of all, Jesus Christ, for he speaks in first person, invites us to not be terrified. Imagine then if inviting us to terrorize others with impending catastrophes and disastrous, or with visions of Hell enclosed in the revelations of this mystical, of this mystical or this or that Marian message, all so that "can finally triumph Immaculate Heart of Mary", as they go around saying with abusive Marianization some "terrorists" Catholics who have not first understand anything of Mariology same.

.

Yup, one day will be something very catastrophic, Jesus Christ has told us, But anyone who has genuine and true faith, what a day will be devastating, should be read as of now with the eyes of hope, because everything that God permits, it is only for the good, health and human salvation.

.

it coronavirus, It could then be read as one of the many signs that the man of today is no longer able to grasp and interpret. It could only be the prelude, followed by some kind and many other signs, for whatever long period of time, before the arrival of large and devastating sign told us about Jesus Christ.

.

Of course, while scientists are making the most of their work, once again our poor Church, ravaged internally by far the worst Ebola virus, Work is not doing its. Unfortunately fact, sclerotic as of migrant and poor of the poor and immigrants that now characterize this pontificate in obsessive compulsive way, None, since our August Supreme Shepherd, He invited to pray in churches around the world to ask God the Father for the grace to save humanity from a possible, possibly can and even dangerous scourge. As was said Prof. Alessandro Meluzzi: "I'm not worried about China and its organizational and scientific capacities that people have in coping with such an emergency, I am, however, for Africa. What would happen, if such a virus would spread in that continent?».

.

The Bishop of Rome, three years ago he invited all the priests of his diocese to take a family of immigrants by parish. Idea presumably taken from the script of some science fiction movie, if it considers that many pastors have contracted debts with the banks and they have serious problems to put together the money to pay the electricity bill and the heating of the parish church. Pity, that in the face of this situation given by the emergence of coronavirus, before which we can not at the time know what we risk to meet, He has not yet invited the pastors, at the present day, to pray in churches around the world. But on the other hand, our reigning, is a Pope totally focused on the idea of ​​a poor Church for the poor, mica on the hope that scientists will soon find a vaccine to save lives, indistinctly, is the poor that the rich.

.

What to say, in the Church today: poor and migrants ahead of everything and everyone, while a dangerous virus is spreading, but for the moment there are treatments and vaccines. From all this you know well that, the worst virus, It is that for some time it has spread within the Catholic Church. The serious thing is that we, to save us from pandemic, the vaccine We have it all right. But if you dare to indicate, or worse to ask for it to be used, risks being literally torn apart by the useful and dangerous idiots who praise the "epoch-making revolution" of the "Church of the new course", as has just written days ago on these our columns Jorge Facio Lince in an article enlightened and enlightening [cf.. WHO].

memes and sheep …

In the era of "epochal revolution" which started in recent years within the Church, He insists on the urgent need to open up and communicate with the world, almost as if we were to learn from the world what would the identity, the missio and the function of the Church. Like this, following the sequence of these "slogan" revolutionary, we just have to start looking at the Church also in terms of phenomena and movements of the "world", like the one belonging to the Internet, through the well-known and widespread "meme”.

.

The "electronic" code meme It is assigned to any type of file generated in the infinity of imitations visual or audiovisual, derivations and adaptations of each original type unit that can also be unknown. The term meme [1] It is a neologism coined by science writer neo-Darwinist Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene [2] the 1976, and is a term with which you want to present as a thesis the analogy between genetic transmission and cultural transmission, all based on the assumption that every meme, similarly to the gene, It is the smallest unit and the necessary evolution: «I meme are small cultural units that are spread from person to person by copying or imitating ".

.

Dawkins explains that the propagation of meme, that is, those ideas, songs, mode, slogan, principles, rules between brains and brains, It is realized by means of imitation, spreading like a "virus" from generation to generation until it becomes a fixed concept like that of the idea of ​​God, for example [3]:

.

"God exists, only in the form of a meme with a high survival value, or infective power in the environment of human culture ' [4].

.

In this meme-idea / concept of It gave, in accordance with the theory is apparent Dawkins in the first place that imitation is the means by which i meme, which following the same rules of natural evolution - but in this case by analogy following the rules of "cultural evolution" - survive only some of them leading a new life, and to follow the most important qualities to survive and spread of meme, for example longevity, fecundity and fidelity in imitation of its simplicity. For the last viable selective nature of this “social evolution”, is that of adaptation in response to the social environment in which it finds itself.

.

"When it is sown a meme fertile in my mind, it literally parasitized my brain with the transformation of the new idea spread through the vehicle of meme in stretched form that would make it a virus in parasitize a genetic mechanism of a host cell " [5]”.

.

Some scholars favor this neologism, introduced the meme in the study of human conduct developing it as "instructions for conduct that have been stored in the brain after they have been transmitted by imitation", so anything learned from childhood must identify themselves by imitation as meme. Other scholars have instead challenged because of its conceptual ambiguity: It is in fact not possible to define what exactly a meme, the analogy of nature and culture is too simplistic and ineffective for the description of complex human behavior, He does not add anything new to what already can do anthropological studies, cultural, linguistic and sociological.

.

In the Internet culture, the term meme He began to be present by the end of the nineties of the last century, but still in the same parallels between biology and culture, between genes and meme before mentioned, even if the same natural selection of meme indicated by Dawkins has had a transformation on the Internet according to a not so implemented according to the natural speed separation but according to the alteration deliberately given by the same human creativity with the way of "hijacking” [6] between two parallel: the faithful imitation as a result of fascination, admiration and identification or the denigration and discrediting of people and ideas, to follow along with the replica of the original or the total transformation of the original same.

.

Regardless of the obstacles present in academia about the theory of meme, it must be acknowledged that thanks to this increasingly affected era and defined by the communication on the Internet, this term has found, for its characteristics, exponential distribution, but mutarsi, from initial unit that propagates gradually through interpersonal contact of content transmitted simultaneously, in the phenomena of mass real, so overhanging the limits between the interpersonal communication and those of mass, those professional and amateur, those of the bottom upwards and vice versa.

.

'Cultural units that are spread from person to person, i meme They were discussed long before the digital age. Yet the Internet has transformed the dissemination of meme in a highly visible practice and the term netizen It has become an integral part of newspeak, for vocabulary, own grammar and syntax man internetico " [7].

.

In this communicative dynamics, the term meme the internet has become synonymous with a specific indicating the spread of a "particular idea" presented as written text, image, Linguistic move or other units of "things" cultural. Using that looks very similar to the academic world, but distinct between them, because the theory of "cultural evolution" primordial characteristic is the longevity of the transmitted idea. Instead, in the electronic world, i meme are the descriptions for recent trends characterized by short duration. If then in the academic sphere meme They are abstract conceptual units and often controversial, in net sphere i meme are concrete phenomena and partially accepted by all. For last: see i meme create at the level of the theoretical evolutionary distinctions, In this case turn into individual ideas or formulas that have spread well. Indeed the meme, digitally, are groups of elements and content created with mutual awareness and sharing tied into a widespread popular cultural unity, imitated and transformed by individual users of the Internet, up to create a shared cultural experience in the process in which the personal level or micro also manages to model the "macro-structure" of society.

.

The reason became so popular the phenomenon of meme the network, It is given by the enjoyment and pleasure caused in the user and can repeat or transform an activity that draws him out of his daily routine, It realized almost always together with other people. For this group approach the meme end up having a social and political impact, because they acquire a communicative role of "continuous talk time", with a strong push for debate, while remaining within the public informal and spontaneous conversations that start from the bottom, with the ability to create links between the individual and the collective, among the staff with the res-publica.

.

I meme they have become the consequential natural elements for the study of the Internet and digital culture. Behavior memetico however again, because its scope of global scope is unprecedented. In this era of hyper-memetic circulation of copies and derivatives they gave copies to a greater sense of '' original ', to become today the reason of being of digital communication [8].

.

Going beyond the scope of sociology, of anthropology and the study of the Internet, you could add, or even wanting to create a third analogy between natural evolution, cultural evolution and "epoch-making revolution," where meme It becomes the natural element for the study "ecclesiological" and behavior in the same today ecclesiastical structure. The first feature would be imitation fashion pauperistic clumsy and devoid of substance in the sermons of many ecclesiastics. The second characteristic may be constituted by the thrust and the challenge continues to exceed the so-called "old patterns", even if it means a border on the ridiculous and doctrinal ignorance, and everything is repeated socio-political speeches, both in a care setting devoid of any reference to the spiritual sphere, of the sacrum or the sacramentary. We would finally a third characteristic, also typical and totally exclusive scope ecclesiastical, not present in other environments: approval uncritical imposed as a typical model of dictatorial regimes around the world. From these two characteristics - but especially the third - one can derive that the raison d'être of this "new ecclesiology" of meme, is a perfect reference to the principle of imitation described in the fable of the "naked king", which obviously no one can criticize, because everyone must dance and dance like before the "greatest show after big bang"Blinded voluntarily or involuntarily in a closed perception of reality, ready to magnify attired king, which as is well known, however, it was naked. Through these dynamics it is realized and embodied the analogy of meme as live phenomena and disseminated exponentially within digital, rather poorly represented in other areas of life. Once you are fallen and finished trapped in these mechanisms, here is that the representatives of the ecclesiastical world end up being convinced to live and operate in the right and have really a breakthrough through this much-vaunted "epochal revolution" but, outside the small "Ecclesio-sphere" is now mocked, ignored and especially frowned upon by the People of God, as it soon will be also the same story, that will end up giving on it a very unforgiving and harsh judgment.

.

Analyzing these features and reasons to be, it only remains to wonder about the length of time at all. Here too the principle of analogy meme as a new proposal on the ecclesiological "epochal revolution" today can give you some ideas not indifferent: see i meme remain a fast phenomenon mutable and restricted to the form of hegemonic current ecclesial body communication, his life will be very conditional by the design conception, in these times of constant change rooms, falls and survives only in small groups of faithful fans.

.

If this phenomenon of meme It is examined from an anthropological socially Dawkins, remaining anchored to the principle of analogy of genes, we are in front of a viral mutation always in transformation that will only escalate into an exaltation in thinking, In word and in action not only totally alien to its "original gene", namely that Christianity which remains little or nothing; He will tend to degenerate into "misericordismo" as the starting point of a new religious expression, that only history will tell us when she managed to survive and to establish itself.

.

Taking a current rating, it must be said that between the idea of ​​God and the idea meme Dawkins and clerical uomocentrismo, it appears that the two expressions are the two sides of the same coin, or that the latter is the consequence of the first. Wanting to then do an analysis more boost, I dare say that this centrality of man has long exceeded the anthropological turn of Karl Rahner. The centrality of the Word as proclaimed in the post council, He has come to make us sink into a kind of nihilistic hermeneutics: man today that interprets and defines the "Word" as a message left by the man of the past updating it according to the pleasures of this as would a parrot who put in front of a mirror you look and repeats sounds heard earlier type: "Hello," "good" "Love", "I love you"…

.

The false illusory hope which now it comes before this new ecclesiology of meme It is to think or assume that tomorrow, in the next conclave, in the next pontificate or in a next possible council, everything returns as before by virtue of the refusal by the newly elected, surrounded by a large army of brave compact and coherent ecclesiastical, who will arrange everything in a flash, if anything, using the magic formula: hocus pocus …

.

The certainty of faith leads us instead to be firm on the principle that the Church, mystical body, It will never end. There will come a time when the test will come to life in the great apostasy and take new forms old and new heresies, There will be reforms and division, but the Church will always and only remain one. The certain hope is that this time will pass and, with it, They will also pass certain characters, that for active and effective charity they should be considered and treated as the sick in terminal state; the poor patients who do not want to accept that their life time is about to end and that soon they will be before God's Judgment, that to them will be severely merciful. While, survivors and their deeds and works, They will have to pay long and just as long to work, for groped to repair, even only partially, the serious damage produced by them.

NOTE

[1] This term would be the Greek derivation of mimema (imitation).

[2] The Selfish Gene book centered on the hypothesis that it is not the group or individual but single gene that is transmitted in mechanical form and then forced evolution is not about how you transmit genes, but that genes are transmitted and spread regardless of factors and behaviors that can cause damage to the organism - just as man is necessarily selfish even though he considers himself to be altruistic in satisfying his own interests - so that he can maximize the transmission and diffusion of his genes.

[3] Richard Dawkins with his agnostic position explains the work the God Delusion It is that evolution demonstrates the possibility and the probability of evolving from simple to more complex beings without the intervention of any external cause or superior being or transcendental, It is that God as the source of everything explains nothing, and instead pushes to demonstrate an "infinite regress" in which this God is impassable and unlikely. Therefore the idea of ​​God as religions are only accepted beliefs without Children as useful for survival, is that then they are uncritically shared on a social level to the point of being the main cause of division, of wars and violence.

widespread vignette on social taken from a montage from the movie poster italian-wester They Call Me Trinity

With the end of the year 2019 and the beginning of the new, There was given a curtain never before seen in St. Peter's Square. A faithful Christian, has made with enthusiasm the hand of Pope Francis I - perhaps annoyed by this act and its reasons - he has responded with equal enthusiasm to break free from the vigorous grasp of Asian lady, settling some "paccheri" well measured.

.

As of January 1 2020, This gesture has surpassed in fame and the coveted traditional New Year's concert, much to the divulgarsi social network virally and clog posts WhatsApp many people - including us priests - and perhaps the majority of the lay faithful.

.

As it happens in these cases, the good-natured irony whole Italian has been produced cartoons to this who approached the gesture of the Pope to that of famous movie characters: since Bud Spencer, Terence Hill, Chuck Norris to romanissimo Mario Brega, and others …

.

widespread on cartoon social

When the Italian satire It is expressed as usual, in the version pizza and mandolin, we must be honest and explain that in it there is no evil, only good-natured desire to resize everything with a laugh. Unlike the speech instead tied to very serious cases, like the one that led to the reputation the French magazine Charlie Hebdo with his irreverent and blasphemous anti-religious satire.

.

As it happens only in Italy, the gesture of the Holy Father has turned into yet another opportunity to pull the dresses pope to a line of thought that is cloaked in gooders and the politically correct, much due to the gesture several meanings, colorful and contrasting. So there have been many public defenders, also of a certain age and social caliber; the same as ever, at the time of Benedict XVI, John Paul II, John Paul I and Paul VI would have the audacity to speak and make Keyboard lions print and Web. Today instead, I wonder why, they felt invested with the sacred fire of the defense and papal repute and his gestures. Randomness? I do not think so. On the contrary, It is increasingly marked tendency to reduce the Pope to an authoritative representative of the world of the powerful, instead see and recognize in him the moral and spiritual authority that refers to the transcendent God.

.

However, since for some time we follow a new catechism of atheists and secular leaders who are only a man of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary a rinses nothing part, now came the time to downsize and to pigeonhole well the august person of the Roman Pontiff. And so, as the laws of fame, satire and visibility prove merciless against Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Emmanuel Macron ... now it seems now the turn of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. And use the first name of the Supreme Pontiff just to emphasize the fact that these Advocates of lost causes, They intend to voluntarily view only and only as a man, not as the Successor of Saint Peter, chosen and placed by Christ at the head of the College of the Apostles.

.

widespread on cartoon social

For these characters - some of which have been hybridized as Catholic Christians only in the last six years - the Pope is the Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God, Head of the College of Bishops, ma, so more prosaic, he is the leader a current of thought and a political message that you can reshape a good needs.

.

It is for this reason that, before the good-natured satire more genuine italianity, they felt compelled to exercise the defense motion. In the same way in which they behave coryphaei parties when touched their boss. E, as in the political tradition, It is trying to eliminate the opponent and the opponent of discrediting and damaging it with personal judgments on the morality and dignity, so those who have sketched a smile in front of funny cartoons about the Pope or have shared on social they are seen to point the finger and blame publicly.

.

I quote some examples from the web some office defenses:

.

"That is, let me know. One more man 80 years is pulled badly, He loses patience for a moment and slaps on the hand of one that was pulling him like a puppet to win Luna Park. Then he asks public apology (I repeat: Pope asks-the-excuse- dad) and you people treat it as if it were a monster? Could it be that this Pope whose only fault is to constantly remind, very effectively, what religion says that you claim to practice? Could it be that you hate because it puts you in front of the fact that most of you are no different from those that the Gospel calls "whited sepulchres"? The truth is that today, if Jesus Christ walked the Gospel among you, You would call "zekka feel-good", at best. And Pope Francis I will slam in your face every single day, why you hate him so much " (Facebook).

.

.. imagine if one could miss the unique and inimitable Neapolitan …

There are no comments to make, at least on the part of Catholics well formed and therefore aware of who really is the Supreme Pontiff and are able to distinguish between what filial respect and reverence to his person and to his office and constructive criticism. Obviously there are plenty of references to hate, It has become like cholesterol, depending on which side or faction comes, it becomes good or bad.

.

The second case appeared on my wall Twitter, I was groomed for sharing a very nice post that compared the Pope to the character western Of Trinity alias Terence Hill:

.

"From her “bio” I read that it is a parish priest … so, well rooted in the Roman Catholic Church; given that promotes satire of his Bergoglio “chief”, does not it seem a little contradictory that his conduct? Abandon the cassock and lead a priestly life in Christ " (da Twitter).

.

Even before this post There are very few words, for my part I answered out of politeness, because I never subtract to some criticism when it is done with education and with so. However, you can infer many things about the Christian formation of this social person and his way of seeing the Church, the papacy and the same figure of Priests. I'm sorry to disappoint this lion keyboard that is hiding behind a nickname, unlike myself that puts not only the name but also the face, knowing that they are not only faithful to the Roman Pontiff and in communion with him, but aware of the fact that I can be useful to the person of Peter's Successor to the extent that I act with a sense of Church, although with the affectionate irony. Wishing I can sum it all up with an example related to historical chronicles of two Saints: the great pedagogue, and much revered saint, Father Filippo Blacks, and his great "compar Brigadier", cappuccino mendicant friar St. Felix of Cantalice, which he was bound by affection and fraternal friendship, and each other often exchanged jokes and jokes. A day, between the laughter of all present, Father Philip showed how Fra Felice had a hard head, breaking his head on an empty wine flask, then, both, They began to laugh arm around people. What to say of the lines between the two? One in particular, precisely directed to the Pope at the time reigning, deserves to be remembered, because about who was sitting on the Chair of Peter, Father Philip said ironically: «Eh, er Pope Sixtus, er Pope Sixtus, nun forgives nemmanco to Christ!».

.

… and alone and could miss the Romans following the Neapolitans cartoonists …

I will not let the habit cappuccino, because I am aware that the Church is not Parliament, that his head is not a leader political and that precisely because they are sinful and contradictory life I need the Holy Spirit to convert, just as it happened to the Apostles at Pentecost.

.

For us priests, mention the name of the Pope and the Diocesan Bishop in the Canon of the Mass it means to confirm the communion of the Catholic world that it is not about personal human or sociological strategy, but the work of God through His Spirit. Citing the Eucharistic celebration "Our una cum Papa Francisco"I show my reverence to all those who have held the Petrine office. Moreover, a priest and consecrated reiterate my compliance to the Magisterium of the Church taught by the Supreme Pontiffs, by the apostle Peter to François I.

.

If someone thinks of wanting to attract into temptation to draw up a hit parade of the Popes trendy he is very wrong, because I understand that certain distortions are not derived from bislaccherie of this or that Pope but by those who set themselves up as defenders and fellow snacks and perfectly embody the prophetic words of Psalm:

.

"If he had insulted me an enemy, I could bear; if he had risen against me an opponent, I could hide from him. But are you, my partner, My friend and confidant; He bound us a sweet friendship, to the house of God we walked in celebration » (cf. Shall 54,13-15).

.

Santin cartoon

Maybe it's time to listen less has come those who have always mouth the name of a Pope combined with concepts such as "revolutionary", "Rupture", the "turning point" … giving more attention to those in pain and suffering they try to save it by manipulators and flatterers, even at the risk of being discredited in public. Because for us "… PE’ Grazia her’ disgrace, and always we will be revered et Our beloved Lord Pope Successor of the Prince Pietro Apostol Beato», When he had to say in very difficult times San Filippo Blacks, When in Rome left in meal hunger and misery, after the terrifying lot perpetrated in Lanzichenecchi 1527 through violence, rapes and murders of all kinds, He ascended to the throne in the holy 1534 Alessandro Farnese Principles by the name of Paul III, that regardless of the hunger and poverty situation in which the population, This is in spite lived surrounded by the splendor of the great Renaissance courts. Yet he was called "amatissimo and veneratissima"Father Philip Blacks, come to be known with a very special title: "The saint of joy". And celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Father Filippo Blacks, devoutly recited: «… una cum Papa our Paulo» (each reference is purely coincidental … WHO).

The two young men died in Rome sixteen and twenty investor [photo taken from public social]

The death of two sixteen year olds run over by a car in Rome leads me to narrate a fact of which I was protagonist, since it useful to introduce a complex and difficult issue to be addressed.

Three years ago I passed by the square of a certain Italian cities, When adolescents, two boys who were the cockerels with four peers, BLOW me as I passed behind him with this phrase:

"These pedophile priests shit!».

I turn towards the two boys, and even if I had before me a mirror, I imagine that my look, in that moment, would create some sense of fear even a hungry hyena. I ask sternly to the two boys:

"By chance, you have it with me?».

With unspeakable arrogance one of the two, swelling before the four mignottelle in bloom - as these have already made, finished and finished, from skirts to make to follow with vamp hairstyles - replica:

"Yup. So what? what problems did you ... what the fuck you want?».

On the interrogative sound 'want?», part of my left hand a slap deliberately measured. In fact, if we had put strength, the head of the boy would have become detached from the neck. And if you had stuck, He would bring some permanent damage. Or to clarify: when I shake of the valves, or when I close the coffee machine, it happens sometimes that I am asked to unscrew the whole thing, Why, if inadvertently not I measure the force, it happens that others do not then be able to open the closures …

... After a few seconds of stunning for the measured received sberla, the would-be "tough boy" runs away from me cautiously and begins to scream:

"I denounce you ... I'll sue!».

With a calm whole seraphic - stuff to embarrass really Fra Angelico with the entire choir of Seraphim - answer:

"Meanwhile you've taken a slap, Now go ahead and denounce ".

In a completely lawful some might wonder if they are not I was a reckless fool authentic, to give a slap to a minor in a public square, around noon on Sunday morning, all in front of dozens of witnesses. Question more than understandable to which answer: no recklessness on impulse risky move: I did so studied, but above all for the greater good of that boy, humiliating him before his friend, Everyone mignottelle in bloom and a whole square that is not filled with looks of disappointment, but complacency. That characteristic complacency of the people these days have to suffer frequently little monsters and the like tyrants, lack of education and the minimum respect for adults, adult, seniors and elderly. And they have to suffer because these monsters are untouchable, as evidenced by the continuation of the story …

... Monday morning I called the commander of the local police station that, knowing me, tries at once to avoid a problem. After a few pleasantries I ask me if I can go at their offices to 15.30. and short answer Cutting:

"Captain, if by chance it is the slap given to the streets yesterday to guy, know that it's all true, Did I dumped it seriously. The rest of her story in person today, when I come to visit you ".

That's what had happened and why that invitation: the police had tried to restrain the boy's father, about to take 17 years the following month, who had gone with them with the intention to sue for assault and injury. In conciliatory way the police had tried to convince him that maybe, his son, She had addressed some provocation to a priest, up to make him lose his temper. And while not knowing what had happened, They reassured him that knew me for years and I was not the kind of person to do such a thing, if not before something very serious. In short: They had convinced him to talk to me, they think I would definitely explained, wondering if anything even apologize to the father and the son and, maybe, perhaps even to the Holy Spirit.

What it happened in the barracks between the boy's father and me, It was later defined by police as "a memorable lesson in pedagogy", of course, in private talks between them, but promptly disseminated - always privately -, colleagues from all neighboring stations. so I smile at the boy's father painting by an air mingled in the dark and angry and I invest with a question:

"She called me to apologize, vero? Know therefore right now that what the really are very grateful ".

Stunned he replies:

"You're kidding, or you out of your mind? She slaps my minor child and asks me if I have come to apologize?».

We are having already collected the day before all the most accurate information, I answer:

"And moreover, apologize, she should thank me, because with his son, undoubtedly a minor, but some time ago use of alcohol and soft drugs, who comes home late at night, that the guide scooter recklessly and so, I did what she should have done long ago for his own good, but unfortunately he never made ... ".

Unable to rage before police the father searches for words, while I take advantage of his silence to continue:

"... I have no idea what I would do my parents, or what would make any parent worth his salt, learning that his year-old son, a public square, He had insulted an ultra fifty serene and peaceful man who was passing? I tell him at once that I would have done what my father, who he never used physical violence on me: in that case it would change the connotations. Then, just medicate the wounds, would take me by the person offended by me to apologize. Mine was, however, a real parent, as she is a true parent failure, ready to legitimize a child of which you should be ashamed, because certain monsters do not just happen, They are manufactured by men and women like her as his wife '.

Then I inform him of what he had told me his son behind him, insulting me and the entire College of Priests of the Catholic Church, finally concluding:

"Said this, He intends to apologize to me and thank me for the salutary slap given to his son?».

Instead of grasping the gravity of the, He understands that his son had insulted a man unknown adult and an entire institution, the parent tries to justify himself:

"It is not the fault of my son, We know well what do priests, It is written all over the papers'.

Hearing this and fully understood where it came from the natural candidate to violence and crime that had revealed his son, We report:

"You know that in this world there are many women who do the whores? Well, if I met his mother and his wife, and I gave you the whores in the public square, then I think that I can justify saying "... well, you know what women do, It is written in all the newspapers that speak of prostitution ". As if women because these were all whores and rigor, of course, also included his mother and his wife, or not?».

At that point the parent had two solutions: or to rage, but as I said it would not be appropriate and conducive to its intolerable because inside a military base before four policemen, or sketch. So all he said:

"I should denounce the, but I want to be good and I will just tell you to never afford more ».

Two years later I learned that at that same barracks He was taken to the son of this great parent in detention, because at the age he had passed from the use of alcohol and hashish to the more adult and strong cocaine. The police had caught him red-handed as he pushed in a room a few meters from the front door of the barracks, however, cocaine diluted with substances anything but beneficial, the purpose of obtaining ten o'clock doses from a quantity of five. So what is obvious: one that holds and selling drugs a few meters from the entrance of the police station, or is a total lunatic, or a person who feels untouchable, invincible and then impunibile. Or to put it as far grotesque: it would be like if someone came in with swagger safe and absolute certainty of impunity in direct mosque frequented by a group of fundamentalist Islamists with a pig on a leash, He convinced to get away and be especially harder and more powerful than they.

.

Roman Christmas was bloodied by the death of two girls sixteen [see chronicle WHO], overwhelmed by a twenty to a guide Suv. The image of two girls olds died on the spot is a fact that the majority of people takes away any incentive to exercise the little that remains of human reason in our decadent society, to leave space to the emotional and sentimental. All but a few days, on the street corner where today were deposed flowers, billboards and dolls, flowers wither soon, discolor the billboards will disappear and the puppets, without changing anything in the minds of some children and some parents. Without any emotional and sentimental consciousness is raised those questions that must not even touch the mind of our army of failed parents, as well as dangerous and deadly monsters manufacturers who feel untouchable, invincible, unpunished and finally immortal.

.

From the statements of the Roman magistrate Bernadette Nicotra, judge for preliminary investigations, reported in quotation marks in the press, we learn that "In the blood of Peter Genovese [N.d.A the driver of the SUV] They were found traces of cocaine and opiates, but it is not possible to determine how long before the substances have been taken. Immediately after the accident the young man was upset, but it did not seem stunned, so that the municipal officers have noted in the minutes that he had only "a winey breath '. Although Camilla and Gaia [N.d.A. the two young men died on the spot] He had conducted a "reckless recklessly" and "prohibited" - have in fact gone through this dangerous road with the red, bypassing guard-rail ―, as specifies the judge for preliminary investigations. The responsibility for Genovese was heavy and aggravates his position there are several administrative precedents and the risk of recurrence ". Previously, indeed, the young investor driver's license had been suspended.

.

While she is crying on the two sixteen year olds death and the young investor from this incident will surely marked for life, it is legitimate to ask: where were the respective parents of the girls and the young driver of the SUV? It is legitimate to ask what they were doing two girls of sixteen late night, Saturday night, around a city like Rome, where you can find everything and more, at all hours of the day and, above all, of the night? You might wonder why a twenty problematic, already made subject to strict administrative procedures and inclined to contemptuously violate the rules, It was equipped with a motor vehicle and the necessary money to take to the beautiful wild life? Expenses, I gave the money, if the parents?

.

I understand that before the two white coffins when two sixteen year olds during the Christmas festivities were closed, to say the obvious and painful it is very difficult, indeed perhaps impossible, but almost always the truth is the one that no one wants to say, much less hear: to lead those two coffins to the cemetery were their parents, gravely responsible for having left two sixteen year olds walking around late at night on Saturday for a metropolis. Officers are parents to have grown daughters who wrapped that complex of invincibility and immortality that characterizes our youth, with rare imprudence have bypassed a guard-rail and crossed in the pouring rain a dangerous road, in the dark and through a red light [cf. WHO]. Officers are the parents of the driver, that despite having manifested all the more serious recklessness, designed to endanger their lives and those of others, He was left free to continue to do what he wanted and how he wanted more in total disregard of all rules of civilized life. And not justified, the parents, He is saying that their son is twenty years of age and is, because the money required for its conduct of disordered life certainly does not come from her work, but from the portfolios of the father and mother. Unless it can be demonstrated that this is an age manager that just twenty years earns handsomely, thus being able to allow the vices and the quirks that better prefers.

.

No one dares to tell the truth, before the coffins of two sixteen year olds on Christmas Day, but behind the tragedy of these young death is the total failure of their parents now, to feel in place and to find somewhere else responsible for culprit, will launch a lawsuit entrusted to the best Italian lawyers. All this just to say: we have failed as parents, because he had failed to watch over our children or having given them the rules of life, we let them grow in the firm conviction that everything was permissible and granted beyond good and evil. Having said that I add: I hope never be regarded as established as true the hypothesis reported shortly after the fatal accident, about the fact that among the young seems in vogue dangerous game of red light. In fact, according to several testimonies it seems that among the young people who attend the local Ponte Milvio is in vogue the dangerous habit of rushing on the street through a red light while speeding cars at high speed [cf. WHO, WHO].

.

Not long ago, also in Rome, a young sixteen year old died within a disused stable in the busy district of San Lorenzo, where investigators later found that it was gone - too late at night - to try drugs by the pusher African. This sixteen year later found dead with signs of him had sex with more people widely grown, He called Desiree. Africans, initially investigated for murder and gang rape, They were then cleared of these accusations. The young man is in fact died from a mixture of drugs, it was not a rape, but of sexual abuse of a minor of age at night, inside the stable, He had entered his willingness to try drugs to be consumed, there had been dragged with force and violence [see chronicle, WHO, WHO]. Even then we witnessed the deposition of bouquets, billboards and dolls before the gate of the building in which the poor girl was found dead. Again the question is, however, to say the least uncomfortable, and in a matter of whether they are placed in that of the emotional world and the sentimental soon forget the tragedies and then live other new tragedies: what was she doing a sixteen year Cisterna di Latina, distant location 70 kilometers from Rome, around late at night to the districts of the capital, after he said with a phone call to her grandmother, as if this was the most obvious thing in the world: "I'll be home tomorrow, Tonight I stay at a friend '?

.

The poor Desiree died in a dilapidated stable seedy San Lorenzo, came from a dysfunctional family and was the daughter of two problematic parents. The two young people died in these days in Rome, They did not come at all from contexts affected by natural disasters, but two families of the so-called "high levels" of high society. Evidence that is something behind these families immediately went out the name of Giulia Bongiorno [cf. WHO], He inscribed as a woman in the pink of the greatest criminal lawyers in Italy, It equipped to the point of a really great and rare gift of being, who was very young at the time, defender Giulio Andreotti in one of the criminal cases of the most complex of the entire history of the Italian Republic.

.

I cherish profound esteem for Giulia Bongiorno, But I doubt that even a very talented criminal lawyer as you can reassure parents of the two young people that those responsible are other, it is so difficult for some people, before the life and death, take responsibility and say to themselves: we have failed. A terrible failure ultimately paid with the burial of our daughters.

.

I know the area of ​​Ponte Milvio, twenties because I lived for a time on the Foreign Ministry Hills. At the time the residential neighborhood was a far cry. Today it has become a place of the move for young hippies that they seem to come from the living room of the miserable and dangerous Maria De Filippi, that on the psychological and behavioral disasters that afflict children and young people today, It has its considerable responsibilities, thanks to his television programs imprinted on miseducation and hedonism. That said I conclude by telling you a few months ago, in the old neighborhood of yore, I saved an elderly physical aggression of a twenty year old suffering from megalomania, one among many, among the numerous …

.

… I was on my way for a visit at the Clinica Villa del Rosario, which is located in Via Flaminia Vecchia, a few hundred meters from Ponte Milvio, in an area that today is teeming with cafes very trendy frequented by children and young people. Ahead of me, the senior who proceeded driving a subcompact, remains at the height of a historic building known to the Romans as The Castellaccio, because the right and the left were parked "Youth" Smart which prevented transit. I, who proceeded behind, stay stuck in my turn. At one point the old man starts to honk, as long as one of those spaces out a twenty year old, that followed for a while 'talking with friends. Then, calmly, so really mocking and provocative, go in front of their Smart. You might think it's gone up and ran away, never! He pulls out his phone and starts to send a message. Then the old man sticks out his head and screams calling him rude. In response, the young, furious like a beast, He rushes towards him and strillandogli "dickhead!»Shake their fists and intimate" come out ... come on out old shit!». Then I jump out of my car and I take a deluge of insults to be rushed to the defense of the elderly, that seriously risked falling taken to blows. Of course, if I followed my lower instincts would have gouged out crick the trunk and I crushed my knees, sending him for a couple of months at the orthopedic traumatology department to reflect on the meaninglessness of his life, to be converted and to repent of his sins. But as I am known for peace and love, in this society that can not punish because he has to recover what is structurally irrecoverable, can not complain because it must dialogue. A company accustomed to say poor murderess rather poor murdered, poor poor aggressor instead assaulted, poor poor thief instead robbed …

.

… or perhaps you've forgotten the brave Marco Pannella which together with the "great Italian" Emma Bonino, in the eighties of lawsuits clogging the courts against those responsible for recovery for drug addicts, accusing them of mistreatment and kidnapping? And at the same time they wanted to free drugs, as before they had obtained the legalization of abortion calling it "great social achievement ', to follow up with the “marriage” between same-sex couples. Today Marco Pannella is dead, however, remains alive "great Italian" that, before also kick the bucket, He wants to see another "great social achievement ': euthanasia legalized. although she, Although ultra septuagenarian and suffering from cancer, He refrained from going to Switzerland to be suppress, Perhaps having planning many more damage yet to be bear in our poor country, before his departure happy to ... well, God the Father of mercies has really pity the poor soul, and like the good thief, this letami, can steal all heaven with his act of pure and sincere repentance expressed in his last two minutes of life!

.

This young fricchettone it gives happy-hour pontemilviano that gave ferociously toward an elderly and then insulting so unspeakable a priest during his rescue to thwart the aggression of the poor, It is the real paradigm of the product that parents do not know ever say "no", who denounce the teacher for daring to address a rebuke to their son, if they do not go directly to the school to beat! Or that before a school rejection entirely deserved, subissano the Regional Administrative Court of Appeals. And when their children are stopped by the police because they found the drunken driving and drug addicts, they pick on the same intimating: "Blame the criminals, not with our children!». And down to no end lawsuits against police officers and police, penalty by parents accused of having abused their children while in police custody, well if you come out of the barracks and the police headquarters without even a scratch on him, such terror have the employees of the police to raise them only slightly’ the voice. And every now and then, any of these immortal youth, hopefully dies, Instead they often kill others without them you do a scratch. And when any of these unpunished, invincible and immortal dies, We cry a couple of days, colored balloons are launched on coffins, as if death were a circus, They will lay flowers, signs and puppets at the scene. Por if anything is also assumed as a defender and talentata the famous criminal lawyer Giulia Bongiorno, because the parent who does not train disaster, does not care, no guards and gives no solid rules of life to their children, first of all essential to protect the children themselves, must always ragione, He does not fail, and can not fail. The whole world is in error, he and his son no, May!

It is also a novelist father ariel, although mostly he is known as a theologian and essayist. This work was written after having gained over the years of training for the priesthood that the element of martyrdom, not necessarily blood, it is a living part of the priestly and religious life ministry, but also of the Christian life of all the baptized.

.

Unlike the blood, which can be consumed within a few minutes or seconds, that "white" is a martyrdom to which you may end up subjected to a lifetime, as evidenced by the lives of many Saints.

.

This historical novel It is "the jewel Father Ariel" because it is linked to the mystery of faith and vocation. Opera set in the late eighteenth century whose protagonists are the Carmelite Nuns of the Monastery of Compiègne guillotined in Paris in 1794.

.

Rich rare depth of the dialogues between the protagonists. No less original and full of fascinating images and paintings created by the creativity author, that around this real history plays a fantasy where nothing is obvious, but all unexpected surprises reserves.

.

wax Museum Paris: the price paid for that freedom, equality and fraternity, of which but few speak …

The first framework It opens with a meeting of Freemasons in a secret place, where they have their principal Loggia.

Sixteen women who came to the conquest of inner freedom which exalts the empowerment of women and the values ​​of a healthy secularism of the people; because freedom, equality and fraternity are pillars of Christianity, blended together by the sense of solidarity and the spirit of charity. From weakness comes the strength and uncertainty faith: you have to appreciate those who have many doubts and distrust of those is something lacking. Faith is a logic that rests on the absurd where the weakness lies in the certainty of being powerful and the true vigor in the fragility of insecurities where God hides himself waiting for man to be made strong.

.

the main instrument of equality and justice: the guillotine

A meditation the Eucharistic sense of martyrdom inserted in the liturgical cycle, and through a play of lights that reverberate from a soul that captures the past with its feet in the present, It causes reflections with subtle paradoxes game, through dialogues that defy seductively modern man's slumber, touching the sensitivity of the finest players and the general public, inducing non-believers to ask deeper questions AGAIN.

The concept of Christ the foundation of the world, It contains the most sublime heights of the Holy Father and Doctor of the Church Augustine, Bishop of Hippo: the Christ the whole. How it will repeat the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI during his apostolic ministry: Christ is not a part of the human experience, but our whole. He is the beginning, the center and the goal of our integral humanism. And it was on these theological premises that the then Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, posting on the disposal of the Holy Father John Paul II's exhortation Lord Jesus, reiterated this totality, in open opposition to a misunderstood ecumenism and to an ill understood inter-religious dialogue, but above all as opposed to relativism.

The concept Christ the foundation of the world, It encloses the sublime Christology of St. Augustine: the Christ the whole.

"How can you accept Christ, if there is no soul the love of wisdom, since Christ is the Eternal Wisdom of the Father?». It is a question asked in an unpublished homily 5 January 1986 by the Servant of God Father Tomas Tyn [1950-1990]. This book aims to be an easy and clear guide for those who question the meaning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for man, for the faith that can not exist without reason and for the reason that necessity of faith, for nature, for the world and the cosmos. It was written for those who already believe in the Word of God made man and are seeking the best and highest to meet him, for those affected by human wisdom of Christ and wish to deepen, for lovers of contemplation that "God alone suffices", in the words of St. Teresa of Avila. It was written for those who believe that Christ is the beginning, the Centre and the ultimate goal of our entire humanism.

Dear Readers,

The widow of Winchester

in early December every year we ask for your help to pay the running costs of this magazine website, amounting to 6.800 Euro.

.

I thank Readers who during the year have made offers and that allow us to continue our apostolic work, among them several priests.

.

Mind your memory thanks Now the obvious, without veils and false modesty, because this is my style. So God has made me, so Christ wanted me to his service in the holy priesthood. Hence the obvious: as you may have noticed we have not sponsor nor we benefit from contributions by Catholic Foundations and Orders Cavallescheschi urged to bestow upon us GRATUITIES in considerable sums of money by diligent Vatican Secretariat of State, which often uses for this purpose the cases pingui delli Boni Knights directing their generosity in magazines and sites genuflecting to power, that does not always - not to say almost never - however the power of faith that converts and saves souls. No, not the power of truth, unfortunately it is often the power of that lie that dominates these sad times.

.

You understand why some news agencies and major Catholic websites should write what they write and they see only what they need to see? And if someone dares to write what you should not write because it is linked to events and situations that you do not see - if anything daring to even claim that the perpetrators of certain serious errors are neutralized and punished to prevent the perpetration of their damage done to the Church of Christ -, they are quick to write well that is not true, placing on the spot on the list of “bad” those who dared to comment on the fact in fiery tones. For as you know we even got to this: the “blacklisting” complete with a public board that indicates “good” e “bad”, “lovers” e “haters” …

.

Maybe it should be clear that those who have labored to draw certain lists, had an inner freedom equal annual amount of 250.000 euro grant coming mostly from the fertile banks of some Knights, all on sweet Gospel invitation addressed to them by the Vatican Secretariat of State, that the proven evidence of the facts does not always love the truth and who serves, but who manipulates the truth, if not worse: those who just falsifies and conceals …

.

... Series: freedom and truth have for a certain price. It was that idiot of St. John the Baptist did not understand how freedom and truth work in this world. If he knew he would have a full account at the Savings Bank of Jerusalem and die old on a beach in the Caribbean sipping a Free Cuba, lying on a deck chair by the sea. Instead he did not understand anything, quell'emerito idiot, and so he lost his head.

.

What would ever cost the Baptist assume the role of the bishop of Belluno and ask Herod excuse for thinking that his relationship with Herodias, worse than morbid to Salomé, It could be wrong? [see previous article, WHO]. Or as the bishop of Vittorio Veneto, that Herod, Herodias and Salome has opened the gates to the Holy Eucharist [cf. articles WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO]. In conclusion, these, Perhaps they have not "sacrosanct" right? Why exactly to this, some bishops, They are reducing the Most Holy Eucharist and the sacraments of grace: a right which is accessed from a crap Herod, tricksy Herodias, and a sensual dance of Salome, while all is silent between cowardice, negligent omissions and especially clerical opportunism.

.

Do not think that since their song certi so-called “Conservatives” O “traditionalists” clamoring that fierce in appearance of such aberrant things, are different and better, or that are characterized by an army of pure souls, because when some secular or ecclesiastical, indirectly linked to their sources of money, He has made a few so-called crap in style, they totally silent, because before the money all the great defenses of tradition and healthy Catholic doctrine end “literally to hell”, if you pass this very elegant term and typically ecclesiastical.

.

In a way quite contrary these notorious harlots of yesterday and today, we who through faith and divine vocation received love Christ God, His Holy Church and the truth, In this socio-ecclesial context we would not have even had the material means necessary to work, if it were not for the free generosity of our readers, which we thank again, and to which we ask again generous help.

.

Our motto is John's Truth sets you free [The truth will set you free]. But the truth always has a price, and is always very high price. Is this, if you allow, to say it is a subject that, if certain given talents God had used them in the way Mephistopheles, to more ambitious service of lies and of the supreme spirit timid and clerical-pimp, Perhaps now he would be a member of the College of Cardinals, united in “perfect communion” with decadent ecclesiastical world of those who see it do not look, they say but do not say, they knew but covered and that before the outbreak of certain scandals do not find something better to do than lie, stating that they had never been informed, or who knew nothing, while in truth they first killed and then threatened the brave few who went to segnalargli people and high-risk situations. And so to follow up with those who stand at the window waiting for better times and wagon of a new leader over which to jump as if nothing had ever been before ... And who in this regard he wants to deepen this speech, has to do is read my book And Satan became triune [cf. WHO].

.

These are the reasons for which we can not afford to take the risk of finding ourselves limited in our freedom in exchange for gifts and grants. Why is clear: everyone, but just everyone, “Progressives” e “traditionalists”, are prisoners of a master, and have a price. Those who apparently have no master, They are often subjected to the worst boss: blindness of themselves which produces lack of lucidity and objective analytical and critical sense. Often, this last, those who are the increasingly bewildered people of God also bearing the worst damage.

.

And to think that we, the masters, we should not even try it! Just so, because they themselves were to offer themselves, knowing that The Island of Patmos is a magazine that on the average march of more than ten million visits a year, on which they write the priests and theologians made credible by the fact that they are not on the payroll of any. Ergo we believed, when informed basis analyze and write.

.

We can therefore only be relied sull'obolo the poor widow which tells of the Holy Gospel [cf. MC 12. 41-44], she who with faith and love what he gives for free. Of this we need: free and disinterested Pence many good, beautiful and holy widows.

.

For this we ask you want to support us with your offers that will allow us to pay the annual out-of-pocket expenses of the site on which this magazine is supported. At your convenience and comfort you can use the IBAN code of the account payable to Editions The island of Patmos, the swift code for international transfers, or the comfortable and secure PayPal system, also in the name of Editions The island of Patmos. Who can do that has, on either account, a monthly payment for a whole year, even a few Euros, but for us precious, because if only 100 People we would send every month even five or ten euro, for us it would be a significant relief, that is a great help for our apostolic mission.

.

Worth finally say a few words on the figure of Catholic stingy, explaining who is first, but above all as reasons. The Catholic stingy He is the one who always takes willingly with both hands the fruit of sacrifice and pastoral work of others, looking for you without any hesitation to ask for advice, opinions and answers. Declaring that it was clear and raised doubts and suffering that afflicted him. But you never will put a euro in the poor box. And since the Catholic stingy It needs excuses to live in peace with his greed, one of its main is as follows: "... but how do we: all ask for money!». In this the Catholic stingy absolutely right, because it's true: all ask for money. But it does not assess what is upstream of the application is offered: there are those who offer money in exchange for drugs and hallucinogens acids, those of us offers healthy medicine for the soul, especially for stricken and lost souls. But if we are not given the necessary means, we can close quietly pharmaceutical laboratory, because the drugs do not we either manufacture or offer it for free to anyone in need, like we do from October 2014.

.

Behind The Island of Patmos They work different people, all purely free, not only us Fathers and dear Jorge Facio Lynx head of Editions. So I offer grateful thanks to our dear webmaster, Mrs. Manuela Luzzardi, to dear Fiore Cappone, our Web hosting, that for five years it gives us an absolute price for a top quality service, especially considering our system, the great memories archive, graphics and publishing programs we use and so on, the costs of which would in itself considerably higher than those paid by us.

.

As regards the Editions The island of Patmos, those of you who purchased our books will have noticed that they are treated in the typeface, in graphics, the covers. Of this we must thank the dear Ester Maria Ledda, our collator, the Lady Dorotea, that cures the covers, but especially to the meticulous work of the dear Hector Ripamonti, our precious proofreader, able to find not only small typos, but even more white space between words and word. The dear Licia Oddo, that deals with the promotion of our works. Of course, from the sale of the books that has just begun the 7 July 2019, we can not currently support our work, to start where we were offered a loan of honor 10.000 € that in time we will have to return. For if there is someone who intends to help in a small way, to pay this debt? We have not contract for ourselves, but to better serve the people of God. Even though we are however happy, because we feared a potential and painful failure, however books are selling and every indication is that our will un'editrice Catholic so-called niche that will succeed in bringing his publications sound doctrine and teachings of the perennial teaching of the Church.

.

We trust in your sensitivity and generosity, knowing that we work for each of you in a moment of grave ecclesial crisis and ecclesiastical, engaging all our forces without reserve for ourselves. In return we do not ask anything for us, our work is always free, we ask only an offer in support of our work, ie for the payment of expenses.

.

Do not forget also that Christ with his Apostles they need to be supported in their mission, and those who had supported them, although many devotees, on these pages of the Holy Gospel, for some reason they prefer to forget. As if God in Christ and the Apostles could always just ask, never give …

.

May God give credit to all those who support us.
