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.

THAT MODEL OF CONSISTENCY OF COMMUNIST Vauro Senesi WHICH I HAVE TOLD: "BEFORE I WOULD SECURE THE COMMUNISTS SOUGHT BY FASCISTI, THEN THE FASCISTI SOUGHT BY COMMUNISTS "

.

In Vauro, sincere and consistent communist, fit is an episode narrated by the Holy Gospels which must always keep alert all of us Catholics. I am referring to the episode during the transmission of Straight and Reverse I mentioned smiling tone Giuseppe Cruciani, I am addressing myself to what I said: «Giuseppe, like the good thief of the Gospel, She threatens to steal the Paradise to everyone in the last two minutes of life '. Thus remain incomprehensible as insussistenti, the controversies mounted on Paolo Del Debbio and the conduct of the program itself.

the cartoonist Vauro Senesi [to see the program click on the image: 01:30]

The famous cartoonist Vauro and I are not intimidated - indeed, unfortunately, we're not just - from printed cartoons over by the cigarette packs psychological terrorists, that link cancer and cardiovascular diseases, up to urological threats: "Smoking causes impotence". Like this, Giuseppe Cruciani cigar lover we found ourselves a quiet corner outside the studio 11 the citadel of Mediaset Cologno Monzese to go to smoke before and after the direct Straight and Reverse.

.

Father Ariel S.. Levi of Gualdo in the second part of the evening [click on the image to see the episode from the second hour: 02:06]

I went on the air in the late evening final and I was in the studio with Vauro, when the scuffle occurred between him and a certain Brazil, carnival borgataro whose brain seems to be below that of man, and a little above that of the monkey. Subjects like to live are always risky, having the propensity to emit noises from the mouth in the form of words without first having activated the brain that have little. And since Brazil he does not speak nor reason but emits sounds rough, He has come to express themselves badly with the journalist Francesca Fagnani in the studio, to which he said "come (in township) I'll show you that I ". Vauro gave so in outburst, roughly as said in outburst I when in the previous episode Thursday 31 October I found myself before the “ex” Catholic priests who constituted very rare cases and beyond all limits, not only and not so much because homosexuals declared, but why “happily” married men.

.

the controversy that from the day were unleashed on Paolo Del Debbio leading the program are not in heaven or on earth. Video record is a document that leaves no reasonable room for doubt, about the flawless way in which he conducted and managed it all, I think the best way.

.

the debate between the journalist Francesca Fagnani and borgataro Brazil

Hor always misjudged our country than eight decades later followed to speak of fascism and anti-fascism. This prevents you from doing lucid analysis of the Fascist period, inserted in a very complex European history. To analyze the Italian Fascism and German Nazism different political phenomenon should be from the period before the First World War and then analyze what follows. Indeed, the conditions for the emergence of what will be the evil phenomenon of Nazism, They were created at Versailles to the peace negotiating table at the end of World War I., from which the fair and dangerous Germany was made to stand up and liquidated in a manner humbling to say the least.

.

the borgataro Brazil

I think that talk about Nazi-Fascism It is incorrect as it would combine Marxist Communism and Liberal capitalism. These political movements born at times close but different connotations from peoples from psychologies that produce quite dissimilar distinct stories. Fascism and Nazism have in common only one thing: are popular movements inspired by Socialism, It would say today leftist movements.

.

Vauro and borgataro Brazil

I consider it an anachronism who in their twenties ignorant of history speak of Fascism, anti-fascism and partisan struggles as we were in the days after 25 July 1943. Experience that I've done that in the past studying in two Italian universities with strong communist presence. I also remember a dispute that touched the brawl, When discussing the historical and legal issues, a student tried to take off strillandomi word "fascist!”. Well, place that the children are not responsible for the sins of the fathers, let alone grandparents, before all I remembered that his grandfather was the fascist mayor of that city and, while his grandfather and his cronies in black shirt manganellavano dissidents to singing Duce, Duce, my parents were among clubbed, not among the manganellatori, forward to all my great-grandfather, sentenced to exile in 1927 after the promulgation of fascist laws. Therefore, a reconciliation between contemporary minds and a wise proceed further without getting trapped in the past, it would be helpful to many, especially at certain Italian who they may be forced to admit the kind of ancestors who had in their family trees, or otherwise sentirseli remember from their interlocutors. Better to let it rest in peace fascists and anti-fascists, avoiding in this sense not a few embarrassments.

.

the conductor of the program Paolo Del Debbio riaccompagna Vauro in place

Over time I have changed in part opinion. (C)ome fact said Vauro during the cigarettes off the air: "I realize that when Italians begin to experience fear, They tend to move towards the radical right. Partly because they need security, in part because they hope that a strong figure give them those securities that they can not find in themselves, then in force, changing their collective security ".

.

History is not an opinion, with respect to those who now wants to rewrite the past in their own ideological use and present consumption. So it is necessary to start from a fact that no one can deny: Fascism in Italy, Nazism in Germany, born from the free and determined will of the voters who expressed through elections, They are not the result of a revolution, as it happened in the former Russian Empire in 1917. Then, Fascism and Nazism, had the vote of the electorate through the mechanism of free elections, have made the popular vote what we know and what the criminal history documents.

.

the borgataro Brazil

Putting all these terms I understand the fears Vauro, that eight decades after his downfall speaks of fascism and anti-fascism moved by its own logic which combines a fear motivated by the knowledge that the people of Europe, when they feel insecure, They tend to support certain movements or parties. But this comes upstream from the inability of the parties and the liberal or socialist governments to give guarantees and security to citizens, just as it did in Italy in 1919 and in Germany in the early 1930.

.

Vauro Senesi He is a sincere man has a quality that in our country of chameleons and change artists has always been a rare commodity, particularly today: consistency. Vauro deserves respect and appreciation, Communist because he was born and lived his life believing in the ideals of Communism. And with sincere passion'll explain why in his opinion that today's always worthwhile being a communist.

.

Memorial stone of the twelve Carthusian monks murdered by the Nazis in September 1944 the Certosa di Farneta in Lucca area

Of course both: the European scene the Italian Communists had always precise connotations in relation to the Catholic culture and Catholicism present in our country. If in fact in Italy, especially in "red regions", the Communists had not brought their children to be baptized, and they had not sent them to catechism, kindergartens of the sisters and many even in Catholic schools, most of our institutions in the areas of Lazio, Tuscany, of the Marche, Umbria and Emilia Romagna could swing shut. Myself, like Tuscan-Roman born in low from the Roman family Maremma and lived between Rome and the Grosseto area, I was a witness and spectator of episodes sometimes hilarious. I remember more vividly when my classmate, in the distant 1976, while from the school building we went at a nearby gym touched iron and made the horns to the passage of an elderly priest dressed in his black robe and head saturn. He was the son of the head of a populous section of the Italian Communist Party. In the afternoon of the same day his father, holding him by the arm and mollandogli a kick every ten meters in rhythmic and synchronized, He brought at the accommodations of the adjacent cathedral church clergy, where he lived quest'anziano, so he should ask pardon for the irreverent gesture made towards the priest. And here he goes explained that elderly priest risked being shot by the Germans in 1944 for having first hidden, then favored the escape of a group of communist partisans. It definitely would be shot, if the two officers in command had been Protestants suffering from ancient Lutheran Romanophobia, instead of Bavarian Catholicism that gave in to the insistent demands of the bishop who stood imperiously commanded saying: "If you take my priest, you also have to take me with him ".

.

monument to the Lucchese Aldo Mei priest, killed by the Nazis at the age of 32 years in 1944 [see service WHO].

In Italy itself where today we speak mostly of pedophile priests and gay priests, the various Don Euro unfortunately real and existing, of vicious priests pinched in gay saunas and so on, how many were Italian priests honored in postwar highest honors for civil valor for saving even entire populations, during the German occupation of 1944? Paolo Del Debbio which is Lucchese certainly knows the story of his fellow gold medal to the memory of the civic value, With Aldo, a young priest of thirty years in which the SS. They did dig the hole in the wall around the city and then shot him. Also in lucchesia a firing squad of the SS. fucilò in September 1944 all the monks of the Carthusian Charterhouse of Farneta, guilty of giving asylum and refuge to partisans. Limited to Tuscany alone taken as an example among these lines, remember that between 1943 and the 1946 They were killed 75 members of the secular and regular clergy [please refer to this service, WHO]. Only in the Diocese of Arezzo were 34 the members of the secular and regular clergy who lost their lives between 1943 and the 1946 [please refer to this service, WHO]. Altogether, all over Italy, the priests who followed the same fate during those years amounted to about 480.

.

a group of priests murdered by Communist partisans between 1944 and the 1946 in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Reggio Emilia-Guastalla

In certain contexts the priest It becomes not only a particular figure, figure but high-risk, because it does not belong to a current or ideology, least of all the winners of the group got excited on finite captors defeated. The priest belongs to the Church Mother and Mediatrix of All Graces, with a consequence paradoxical: before the priests were beaten by the fascists to have protected the communists sought, then shot in red triangle Emilia Romagna by the communists sought to have protected the fascists. For the priest exists the man understood as a creature made in the image and likeness of God. None of us, before a human life in danger demand political affiliation, prior judgment given on the right ideology or belonging to the wrong one, why give licenses to righteous dead e unrighteous dead, Of good killers e bad murderers It is very difficult, as well as a lot of dangerous. We can talk about just war as defensive and unjust war as offensive and aggressive. We can make the necessary distinctions between the death of human beings who died in self-defense actions, where it was not really possible to do otherwise, from those that have been instead the killings and massacres committed by useless revenge. Among these are particularly serious ones perpetrated by the SS. to the detriment of innocent civilian lives, which it remains the paradigm of the Fosse Ardeatine massacre in Rome suburb, where the logic was applied: killed ten Italians for every German dead. At such criminal purposes they were rounded up on the streets of passers-by at random, then killed. In addition to the Fosse Ardeatine, however, there are also Foibe of Istria and Dalmatia, where no less ferocity Communist partisans killed unarmed civilians.

.

in Ferrara, in the town of Argenta, the priest Giovanni Minzoni was the first priest killed by the fascist squads with a stick in 1923

Vauro possesses intelligence and human sensibility to understand this, because it is historically educated man and he knows that the communist partisans were hidden sought in ecclesiastical stable, the same way in which they were hidden years later, in the same stable, fascists fleeing communist partisans. And when things went wrong, the priests were beaten to death by the fascists, then shot by the Nazis, and to follow murdered by Partisans. In wars, especially in civil wars, The position of the Church and the clergy is always difficult and high-risk.

.

On Thursday transmission 7 November Vauro acted and reacted with the communist passion for life he believed in an ideal that many others may be debatable and questionable from a historical and political point of view, but without detracting from the good faith, the human quality and consistency of the person who believes truly and sincerely in what he believes.

.

bust in honor of the priest Pasquino Borghi, shot by the Fascists in 1944

In Vauro, sincere and consistent communist, fit is an episode narrated by the Holy Gospels We must always keep alert all of us Catholics. I am referring to the episode during the broadcast I mentioned smiling tone Giuseppe Cruciani, I am addressing myself to what I said: «Giuseppe, like the good thief of the Gospel, She threatens to steal the Paradise to everyone in the last two minutes of life ' [cf. LC 23, 39-43].

.

One way or in the other consistency always pays, because it has always been God is very merciful to those who erred in good faith animated by sincere consistency, will instead be very strict with everyone who, come cortigiane impenitenti, They have spent his life jumping from one bed to another, looking from time to time of paying customers increasingly rich and generous. No one can blame anything like Vauro Senesi, nor Giuseppe Cruciani, two people loyal and consistent. The Church has always condemned sin, not the sinner, towards which it is always cozy, because otherwise it would betray the mission which Christ God has entrusted to men and to the salvation of mankind.

Thursday 31 October, Father Ariel S.. Levi of Gualdo was a guest of the journalist Paolo Del Debbio the television program Right and Wrong its Rete4. By clicking on the image you can access the vision of the complete program. The second part which was attended by Father Ariel starts from the minute 02:11:00 and ends after 50 minutes.

I look at telEVISION infrequently. From the entrance to the convent - almost twenty years ago - the rhythms are standardized to some form of life that led me to change a lot of habits. Thank God this was a good thing that has helped a lot to my spiritual health and my human intelligence.

.

Among these new habits it includes television so that I do not watch, so I looked like a boy, after dinner, home of the late lamented my parents. Always in constant search of an episode of Discovery Channel, of a movie horror or a fistfight Bud Spencer that did amuse me after a day at the university. This despite the 31 October, a Straight and Reverse, Mediaset transmission conducted by Paolo Del Debbio good, I got to know all the early debt that among the guests there was also our dear Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, soul of our beloved magazine The Island of Patmos. For this reason I could not fail from watching the program, braving the late hour and sleep. Having said that I must point out that just received the invitation, Father Ariel has consulted with us first of all his brothers and collaborators for the apostolic work of this magazine, asking advice on whether or not to participate.

.

always Storco nose When I hear of priests involved in television or radio broadcasts. They are ancient, I know, perhaps vintage, but do not blame me for this. notoriously, when priests are invited on television, never make beautiful figures and, in most cases they are depicted as representatives of a certain thought obscurantist, retrograde and grotesque the worst done. From this television niche they are obviously save the Catholic stations as TV2000, TV Radio Padre Pio and a few other.

.

The immediacy of television language, the suddenness of his time with direct and tight schedules are an insidious trap in which the priest falls very easily. There is in fact little to do: to be on television must have the physical role, you have to be wild on stage, have a ready wit, know how to defend when necessary and even “to attack” by way of “self-defense” stakeholders who aim to divert speeches or dominate others. Few can do it all admirably well, in particular priests and religious. Immediacy is not a characteristic of the priest, he moves at the pace of God, with the time trial of the One who does not differentiate between the minute and the Century. For the priest, the weather is a concept more clearly the theological and physical, It is a metaphysical event that brings the calmness and contemplation of God.

.

You want proof of this? Among younger, the priest and religion become synonyms for slowness and boredom: Mass is long, the homily never ends, the songs are wasting time and go with all the usual sample. That's why I consider useful and wise to the priest to abstain from certain TV talk shows, simply because they are not suited to his role and his person. It never was completely aware of what to focus the interview, on what guests will intervene, what will be cut which will be presented a certain topic.

.

Perhaps it would be appropriate to introduce a canonical norm that would grant permission to take part in television or radio programs after informing their diocesan ordinary or religious. too many priests, Unfortunately, They are turning to the television studios to give the image of their subjective idea of ​​the Catholic Church, not to mention those who are declaring themselves as priests or counter-trend from the pack. It has to be freely priests in trend and in the choir of the Catholic Church, of course! That said it is good to make share our many readers of what we Fathers de The Island of Patmos we know: Father Ariel has a very deep sense of belonging to the Church, equally profound his reverence for the sacred priestly order which constitutes for him the dignity of a divine institution, compliance with which does not compromise. He knows he is not a "free citizen" and, as such, never behaved. You feel intimately part of the Church, the current of the Church and in the choir of the Church, therefore bound by choice and solemn promise of obedience to the bishop, which immediately alerted, after consultation with us, informing him that he participated in this TV show. All these are steps that primarily denote a correct conception of the idea of ​​the Church, the Priesthood and Authority, it is good to clarify and accentuate, because that should be for all.

.

Father Ariel enters a Straight and Reverse the last part of the transmission evening, in deepening the Amazon Synod and the question of sources try and on priestly celibacy. With him are also involved Mario Adinolfi, Giuseppe Cruciani, a Campania priest and a priest who asked for dispensation from priestly obligations and that happily has contracted marriage with a woman. In short, to see her so, There are all the ingredients for a comparison evening and dialogue on a difficult issue but that can be dealt with seriously, so with that philosophical competence, theological and historical that Father Ariel can only be denied by some anonymous members of the Neocatechumenal Way that, irritated by his last book on The Neocatechumenal Sect, they're still subissando of insults, hundreds of whom had come to our editorial and published in three articles submission to this. In this way they try to call him a incompetence, even without having read even three lines of that work, instead it deserves to be read, both as built document related to both as it is written [cf. WHO].

.

In opening, the topic of celibacy It was introduced by love story a priest who married his catechist after asking dispensation from the obligations of priestly celibacy. This witness was obviously functional to encourage dialogue on the possibility of the marriage of priests and the change of ecclesiastical law regarding priestly celibacy.

.

For clarity the law on priestly celibacy concerns only and exclusively diocesan priests, so to speak: the so-called secular clergy that makes celibacy promise to his bishop on the day of ordination. For religious priests the speech is completely different in that they have uttered a vow that binds not only to celibacy but to perfect chastity for the Kingdom of Heaven. If one day the Roman Catholic Church diocesan priests to grant permission to marry, thus modifying the ecclesiastical law, This permit does not in the least concern to the priests of the mendicant and monastic orders and congregations and societies of apostolic life which are notoriously legally framed as religious and therefore as people who are bound to God through the pronouncement of solemn vows. Having said that I conclude that, pure if I would like to, Now I do not intend to explain the difference between canonical promise of celibacy and chastity, in this context it is not important, Suffice to say that the vote is binding for themselves the promise.

.

That celibacy is not just a purely legal but essentially theological touches spirituality and faith. The condition of celibacy and chastity that derives from it is taken as identification to the person of Christ, to which the priest is inextricably linked and associated. The priest is lacking in his duty or celibate chastity, It not simply performs a sin or a crime according to the Church's canonical discipline, but manifested a weakness from the point of view of faith and sacramental grace was that with sacred ordination has received and who are called to respond on a daily basis through the docility to the Holy Spirit.

.

The centerpiece of the speech is very complex and specific, and it is really very difficult to address this issue in a television broadcast in the late evening, otherwise the audience cala, you lose the public, money and resources, and the transmission becomes a flop. So, What does that mean in a nutshell? Simple, It means taking a different editorial decision to increase the popularity rating and gifts to people what they want: a certain verve media.

.

When Father Ariel takes the word After the priest dismissed from the clerical state and now regularly married, It begins by pointing out that "our friend", then adding "indeed, our brother, although he dismissed from the clerical state, and remains married priest ". By then explains, quoting and translating: "Why you You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek, Thou art a priest for ever ... ". The only Latin quotation induces conductor expert to point out that we are not in a theological academy and, starting on certain issues, home people "change the channel and goes to watch the games". Far from being naive and devoid of dialectic, Father Ariel refuses to be removed and the word "requires" explain with a simple example saying to Paul Del Debbio: "Then I clarify in simple: as she, who received the Sacrament of Baptism, that no one can take away, our friend received the sacrament of Holy Orders from which will always be marked '. Then Father Ariel accentuates the explanation adding: "You know that there are some who make the so-called" sbattezzo ". In those cases, the pastors, They can only write in the margins on the baptismal register that Tom say they do not want to belong to the Catholic Church, but no one can take away their baptism ". As he spoke, we who know him deeply, before the home screen we said: he understood at once that every theological and canonical nature of speech can not be pursued, now act accordingly, as then was. Indeed, After the first skirmishes of celibacy yes, celibacy not, it has come to deal with the issue of homosexuality, introducing as guest star some priests who chose to marry a man. In short: some cases not only very rare, but the really extreme cases.

.

Understand well as the theme of starting It is suddenly replaced by a twist, and this is now one of the trump cards of the most effective modern television. It replaces the debate useful and enriching to which the public was prepared from the start with other more palatable. Investigate on priestly celibacy is one of the great challenges and differences between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant communities and the Anglican Community, between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches and, to a certain extent, between the Roman Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches. Set in these terms, the debate would have been interesting and challenging, also as a study to better understand the situation at issue in the synod. But, as I just explained, This was not possible, and Father Ariel has understood instantly.

.

I admire and respect very much Paolo Del Debbio, I consider him an intelligent professional and prepared, surely it has a thorough understanding of religious issues, although I do not understand the need to make a turn of this kind within a subject as serious and delicate as priestly celibacy and the Synod Amazon. To understand it, in fact it is necessary to know very thoroughly the complex of television communication mechanisms.

.

Far speaking "ex" priests who have made the choice of same-sex marriage it does not make sense, not only has no means clear the discussion on priestly celibacy, but reaffirmed in subtle ways the dangerous modern concept that establishes marriage as instituted legal no longer based union between a man and a woman. Then, the arrival on the scene in the late gigolo homosexual who was enlisted for "professional services" by priests and seminarians of southern Italy and subsequently from this have been reported to their bishops, It reached its culmination trash of the evening.

.

A quel point, father ariel, lying in a real arena It has in practice proved to be a "stage animal", perhaps even without knowing him. In fact he could not, "Conscientiously", as clarified, silent and defer before those rare cases and limit, acting as a silent appearing before a parade of "former" priests who proudly showed off their "husbands", complete with a "former" priest visibly disturbed psychologically and stating your "husband" he repeated over and over again "this handsome guy ', "Look how beautiful '.

.

With what is obvious: if Father Ariel has a certain correspondence and affinity with his name, which means "Lion of God", it can be suggested that someone goes to pull his tail thinking that the lion remains stationary to make the helper gladiators that revolve around inside the Colosseum? Therefore, to think that at that point the fiery Tuscan-Roman Father Ariel has lost his temper, think really bad, but above all do not know him. Father Ariel decided, so thoughtful and really scientific, than at that moment, to protect the honor of the Catholic Church and the Holy Orders, He had a duty to lose his temper, because in that arena he had no other system. In this way, It has resulted to be able to clarify and give the audience some basic points that all have transposed, namely the following:

.

1. celibacy is not a dogma but a church law, But, celibacy, It has its origins from the first apostolic times;
2. a priest, Also dismissed from the clerical state, Also excommunicated, remains a priest forever, because he received an indelible Sacramento, It is not an employee who quits or is fired by the;
3. in his screams addressed to Priest with husband, He showed deep love and affection, because he first called "brother" and said that in any case, remains a priest forever and pray for the salvation of his soul considering what aberrant did;
4. clarified - disproving this priest's all false love Christological -, that "God cannot create evil", and this after he had said that God had created and loved so, while Father Ariel clarified and made it clear to his listeners that certain situations are not at all normal tendencies of the new company, but are real aberrations;
5. Father Ariel did repeatedly and variously call for freedom, including freedom that man has to sin, and those who expected an attack on the gay world and its powerful lobby He was disappointed, and as proof of what this “Priest-feline” It is not an instinctive humoral unwary, It reiterated that not only everyone is free to have and to exercise sexual orientation he wants, but it has just the right, But, in such cases, you can not do the priests and exercise the sacred ministry. Put another way proved: I who am a Catholic priest, I belong to a American society which it is much more tolerant than some people and certain lobbyists gay ideologues imaginable, why I impedirei a man to commit sins that wants to freely commit, God did not do it that did not prevent Adam and Eve committing the original sin, maybe I can do it myself? when I could not do a lesson on the Book of Genesis, It launched the message otherwise.

.

finally we clarify a fundamental point: that the priest should not react, lose your temper and get angry, It can not be an absolute. If in that situation Father Ariel had not done, He would run the risk of acting as passive presence and dangerous omission, while the figures were presented to a couple of million viewers “ex” priests “beyond the boundaries of reality”. So, with so much calmness claimed that some accuse him now of not having had, Father Ariel would only mean a sort of real approval. What absolutely impossible for any true priest and for any true theologian, and we know that when our brother is deeply the one and the other.

.

Put aside the beginning eventually all 50 minutes of the end of the evening program segment, then I challenge anyone to say that things did not go the way I have summarized.

.

I'm not a bigot, However I think that each topic is a matter of debate but always maintaining and using a certain grace, common sense and above all sense of limits. We wanted to satisfy the prurient curiosity of the cathode people and bring up the fact that there are priests who have homosexual tendencies? All right, let's do it well, but is this the way? We have seen how all the king has no clothes, and now? We put in his underwear weaknesses of that part of the Church that is made up of consecrated men, we are satisfied? And on the subject of widespread homosexuality among the clergy, no one better than Father Ariel has the right to speak. Ahead of their time, in a book published now 10 years ago and published again in the second edition of our Editions The island of Patmos, he not only analyzed the problem, but even she explained what the Church would encounter gone had they not been taken immediate and serious measures, which of course they were not taken [see WHO].

.

In conclusion of the evening, its closing on Father Ariel words, referring to gigolos our brother has made a claim that should give pause to some very ecclesiastical consciences, Why, if you have only one hint of humility, They should grant him a minimum wage of reason, especially before these words spoken live: "The questions of Mr. Mangiacapra (N.d.A. the gigolo in the studio) I have a detailed written ten years ago, with a thick book of analysis, titled And Satan became triune». He asked Paul Del Debbio "How did it go?». Said Father Ariel: "The only one who paid it was me '. It concludes sadly Paolo Del Debbio: "I do not hesitate to believe!». And we all know that we know what a high toll Father Ariel paid in ostracism and real persecution, for having denounced not yet suspect the powerful and dangerous times lobby gay ecclesiastical, in anticipation of the serious damage that it would have been. But when it comes lions can not become rabbits, even for quiet clerical life, or to make a brilliant career in the church that our brother could have done more and better than many others. Sliding by motorway that leads to Hell he has chosen to follow Christ along the Via Dolorosa, with all that this entails.

.

From the hottest and accalorate Father Ariel words addressed to his brother (ex) priest: "I pray for you, for the salvation of your soul, "we understand what matters most to the Church and that we must always keep in mind: la heal souls. It is indeed the salvation of souls who moves the heart and the Church's hand in delicate situations like these, is the salvation of souls that mitigates justice with mercy and allows us to look seriously at the mercy and justice, and not as a joke for the consumption of our cravings.

.

Today we are faced with brothers disoriented, in a crisis of faith, fallibili, who they have made certain choices that only they know why, some of them have rightly had to account to the Church or in the external forum or in the internal forum, but beyond all is their soul that is important to us. Even in this regard, father ariel, He made it clear from the beginning to know well this delicate matter: "I work a lot with the priests and I followed it and I follow many as confessor and spiritual director, I myself was, in certain situations, to tell them first to take a step back and let the ministerial priesthood ".

.

The scandal does not convert any, sensationalist denunciation of the offender does not lead to any recovery, the imposing humiliating punishment does not lead to repentance but hardening of the heart. Christ on the cross, naked and flogged to death, humbling himself he has paid for all the sins of men. But if men continue to offend and oppose his love is the Church's duty to put a fair remedy the scandals, protecting the weak, away the birds of prey, but constantly communicating with his hand extended toward the sinner so that he convert and live.

.

That 31 October 2019 eve of All Saints, on television holiness of churchmen came less, before certain appearances so tragically diverted and fairs to have deviated from the right path, but standing another holiness, that of God that can not fail, and that among the many tricks of men still constitute the sweetness of a Father who never abandons his children waiting for their repentance to start to party.
