The Supreme Pontiff has lied? And, He lied and he is a liar. But no nasty: Simon called Peter, chosen by Christ himself and not by a conclave of cardinals, It was a liar of him

- ecclesial news -

THE SUPREME PONTIFF HAS LIED? AND, He LIED AND IS A LIAR. BUT NOT NASTY: SIMON PETER SAID, CHOSEN BY CHRIST HIMSELF AND NOT BY A CONCLAVE OF CARDINALS, WAS MORE OF HIM A LIAR.

.

all those who are enjoying their ten minutes of power and glory today, know that this pontificate will not be eternal. So let them start thinking over which of the floating garbage islands they will want to retreat to, why tomorrow, for them — the great destroyers and defacers of the Church —, there will be no place, even if it cost having to celebrate a conclave made with stab wounds among the Cardinal Fathers, who will be careful not to let some element such as the evil dwarf, who lives on wickedness, revenge and cruelty, while finding nothing better to do than go around the world to proclaim the new blesseds, because these are the subjects to whom, man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, it opened the doors of the next conclave, with its fantastic "epochal turning points".

the papinochio [the vignettes of Dorothy Lancel, 2019]

Several Readers aficionados asked me where my «sharp and ironic vein» had gone. I have replied several times by saying that there is little irony in the face of a dying person hospitalized in the terminally ill ward. Today I can answer this question with even more seriousness: what is there to ironize inside a morgue, where the poor visible Church lies dead on the marble table, waiting to be composed inside the coffin by those of the funeral home?

.

Since our very beginnings in October of 2014, I have always commented on certain facts concerning the Supreme Pontiff late, respect to others, including experienced journalists. Prudence on our part is de rigueur. What a priest expresses and writes has a completely different kind of value and weight, compared to what information professionals can write in an excellent and precise way. Indeed, a grave responsibility weighs upon us: the hands with which we write and the mouths with which we express ourselves are the same with which we celebrate the sacred mysteries, starting from the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

.

In man Jorge Mario Bergoglio I have noticed a characteristic that has emerged over time in my relationships with various and illustrious members of the Society of Jesus, of those placed at the highest levels: the propensity to lie. In saying this I do not mean that the Jesuits are lying as such, I mean but claim to have had long relationships with the Jesuits, placed in various leadership roles in the Society of Jesus, that if necessary They lied shamelessly, feeling not only with a clear conscience, but also irritated if someone did not take seriously and true their lies. In its time, an eminent Jesuit, He even created problems of giving me a negative rating to the Ecclesiastical Authority, just because I refused to take at face value his blatant lies and leave with them manipulate. The Ecclesiastical Authority including so much good to say to me: "The problem with the Jesuits had finally been avoided, as long as the holy man of the Pope Pius VII - badly wrong - refounded in 1814 the Society of Jesus [cf. When the kindly solicitude for all the churches, 1814].

.

The man Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a subject that in a manner similar to certain of his brothers mind knowing lie. Then, by his faithful killers, He does not hesitate to make you impallinare the hard way if you do not take good for his lies and if not lavish you to protect them and spread them as truth. Here's the reason why, one of the characteristics of this pontificate is the fact that this man has surrounded himself with mediocre people, bad, and above all immoral blackmail. Because he knows from first to last all their iniquities, why can handle them with the worst weapon: the blackmail. Instead, how he could handle men of faith from public life and private immaculate as Cardinal Carlo Caffara, or as the Cardinal Gerhard Müller? It is not by chance: the first, She died of a broken heart after being denied for over a year an application for a private audience, all while the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio received the worst furious of this world. For his part, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, as he himself has told, at the stroke of the five year term of office it was liquidated in the course of a minute and a half and replaced at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith by a gay friendly. What I wrote the latter with knowledge of the facts and evidence in 2017, without ever having been neither denied nor any recalled title order [cf. WHO]. Or more simply: the individual concerned could call me or call me at his department and asked that account and reason for my writing. But he did not, because my answer would have been: "Why do you call me to ask me aware of what you know and what you have actually done, favoring in any way subject to very high risk, especially one that ended up giving then a worldwide scandal of enormous proportions?» [cf. WHO e WHO]. And everyone who has to escape the confrontation, these days and under this pontificate so wonderful, indeed "epochal", or rather "revolutionary", before the truth that instead of unspoken, They are only able to react affondandoti a knife in the back. And someone even called the "Church of mercy" (!?). In short … ‘ridatece Said Alexander VI Borgia. At least, under his pontificate, before proceeding to a conviction it was made a regular process ensuring best especially every right to defense of the accused, not like the present, ridiculous Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, where if you have received one of the worst injustices by a cardinal or a curial through abuse of authority that violates all the fundamental canon law, if unfortunately you turn to them, these before the powerful bully are scared to the point force you to run to the pharmacy to buy him - for good heart and Christian charity - a supply of absorbent for menstruation, as sudden it would reach the timeout cycle to that gang of …

.

The good Marco Tosatti, the 29 May reports in his blog disturbing interview [cf. WHO]. In short: interviewed by journalist Valentina Alazraki, the Pope responds to a question by saying that the story about the serial sex offender and long unpunished, Cardinal Theodor McKarrick:

.

«[…] I knew nothing, naturally, nothing. I've said it several times, I knew nothing, I had no idea".

.

The Italian journalist, in reporting the shocking news comments between the lines postillando rightly:

.

"This statement borders on immodesty. "Several times"? To who? When? Dove? He never said anything to the public, or even private later recorded in public. Such a statement is either pure lie, or it is the result of a disequlibrio ».

.

I repeat to Marco Tosatti that this response with the serious statement contained in it, It is the result of one and the other thing: of man's propensity to lie and Jorge Mario Bergoglio of his obvious psychological imbalance.

.

To own it is not clear I remember that the Church was not even precipitated the worst forms of Latin American dictatorships, but just in the typical forms of the dictatorship of young Korean dictator Kim Jong [the science WHO and recognize the popular methods today in Church of Mercy]. Suffice it to note how they reacted and acted journalists of modern Soviet Pravda Vatican: bringing the interview have deleted this phrase, as pointed out more and Marco Tosatti, only to reinstate later, after he reported in his blog a stylus assembly both the original text is the official text of the Holy See in which, this serious statement, however this was not [cf. WHO]. After that, of the capocomici justice Vaticana They have tried to believe that the phrase in question had escaped from the translation from Spanish into Italian.

.

These poor people, convinced that the People of God is really made up of a cluster of Obtuse, it is worth remembering that they, acting in this way, They are like such and such a shopkeeper who sometimes, when customers they saw that the rest given to them was wrong, He was justified by saying: «Oh, excuse me, I was wrong!». Well I tell you and I show why these executives justice Vaticana I totally disingenuous like this shopkeeper: because the shopkeeper, to give change, coincidentally it is always wrong to your advantage, always giving less, ever more. Just as the leaders of justice Vaticana: among the many phrases that interview by mistake could blow, coincidentally they have jumped right one in which the Supreme Pontiff lied. In this unusual forgetfulness then we add that we are not talking of a translation from Chinese to Italian, but a translation from Spanish to Italian. From this we can deduce that the liars are among them as the hands that wash, the lava the other and both are washed together. All this with all due respect of affections from the complex of cunning, certain and sure to let us all those fools.

.

This censorship, and the reintegration of the contested sentence, leads first to the fact itself much worse. Who has removed that phrase, She is mistaken as a dishonest merchant who always makes the mistake of giving less money and ever more, He did not take into account the slightest warning given by Christ the Lord in a passage of the Holy Gospel more and more into disuse in the Church of the "epoch-making revolution", but above all the "mercy":

.

"No one tears a piece from a new cloak to attack an old one; otherwise he will rend the new, and the patch from the new will not match the old " [LC 5, 36].

.

In truth, I confess that I do not know whether to get angry whether to laugh or fearful army of opportunists who are put - as they themselves say - "in a prudent waiting». And when they abuse this way the concept of prudence, that according to the wise definition of St. Thomas Aquinas is the charioteer virtues, I feel dismay and disgust. Because they, s of waiting patients, are assured that, as they say the Neapolitans: «He braces' night».

.

Undoubtedly, the night will go, But, when it passed, such damage and such debris remain? And who, repair the damage, or who, will rebuild on the ruins? Perhaps the timid cowards always hopeful careers that await, or maybe they really believe that the next Pope will give them the coveted episcopate, or the long-awaited cardinal's hat that had not given the current reigning Pope? That man Jorge Mario Bergoglio has manifested itself lacking in prudence and sanity I wrote in March 2018 [cf. WHO], without excluding the possibility that he may equally be an instrument of God's grace, indeed a tool even privileged. It is not by chance, the reigning Pontiff, It has a very great merit: He has invited all the hidden mice uncovered. And these mice infected and infectious, They are at this point discovered, shrouded as they are by megalomania, as to make them completely impossible any attempt to change suddenly flag and recycle tomorrow, while it is of extraordinary chameleons, but most shameless, restraint and dignity.

.

Currently, the real and serious problem, It is no longer the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, but those that cut the pieces from his careless answers, that mystify, doctor and who insist on brand as "haters" and "enemies of the new course of Pope Francis Church" all those who show concern anything but hateful and disrespectful; but above all forgetting that the Church is not "of Pope Francis" to be modeled as such in man's image Jorge Mario Bergoglio, but it is of Christ, to model, and as such conform to the mystery of the cross of Christ the Lord. In short: I became a priest to bring my life to Christ, I would never become a priest to waste my life trying to conform to man's Jorge Mario Bergoglio. During the rite of my priestly consecration, Bishop told me solemnly: "Understand what you do, imitate what you celebrate, conform your life to the mystery of the cross of Christ the Lord ". Have they changed the ritual without my knowledge replacing it with this new formula: «[…] mimics the whims of the Pope on migrants, conform your life to the new course of man's Church Jorge Mario Bergoglio "?

.

Because, the Secretary of State, it is repeatedly played face defending on several occasions the indefensible? Perhaps because it is a devoted servant? No, perhaps because it is only one that hopefully in the next conclave; and hopefully by himself, is intende. The true and faithful servants, were the Secretaries of State Rafael Merry del Val, or Pietro Gasparri, or Eugenio Pacelli, who without hesitation, in several delicate occasions, They have put their foot down and told the Popes, with all due reverence, that the decision that they wanted to take that speech or that they intended to pronounce, that would have been a grave mistake. Or perhaps he not said, Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, Blood Pius XI, that if at any given moment very delicate and critical, he really wanted to say the prepared speech against the Italian fascist regime, in this case she asked him to accept, first, his resignation as Secretary of State?

.

None of this is said and done, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, or in front of the sell-off of the Chinese martyrs who paid with a life of persecution their devout loyalty to Rome, or before the Cardinal electrician that with his improvident prank gave a million votes Catholics to Matteo Salvini [cf. WHO]. And nothing did, also, the Secretary of State, opposite the entrance of the unreal clergy and political correctness in about the last election campaign for the European elections, making in this way an interference before which no one has longed, by members of the radical left to the possessed Pannella brand&Bonino, who for decades have deafened with cries against "clerical meddling ', whenever John Paul II and Benedict XVI have spoken out on issues closely related to the life, to morality and bioethics. And if neither possessed nor radical leftists radical chic they shouted against "clerical meddling ', it is because of the pernicious subjects as Father Antonio Spadaro have turned directly to the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio in a leader of the international left.

.

Not only has Vatican diplomacy failed, because what was once a school of diplomacy looked up to with great respect even by the Moscow Soviet of the Stalin era, today it fell into ridicule, not least because of all the pretty vain ladies in careers from which it has been filled; a real army of little priests who, Of fennel shop in fennel shop, in the apostolic nunciatures of the world even the diplomats of the Banana Republic make people laugh about the Holy See.

.

The failure of Vatican diplomacy the president of that People's Republic of China with whom, the lascivious Secretariat of State, she literally prostituted herself by drawing up an agreement with the communist government that remains secret to this day (!?). I would note that the 21 March President Xi Jinping paid an official visit to Italy, however, being careful not to make even and only a private visit to the Supreme Pontiff.

.

And after having reaped this success, after the Holy See was humiliated in this way by the Chinese government, with whom he had shortly before drawn up a very secret agreement, for case, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, he truly waits patiently for his well-deserved reward at the next conclave, after that …The night will be over?

.

We started by saying that the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a liar, I continue concluding: this shouldn't scare you that much, beyond the understandable displeasure of the devoted faithful. In fact, I inform you that even the man Simon son of Jonah was rebaptized by Christ Peter, he was a liar, and besides being such he was also a coward and a traitor. Indeed, if together with that of the Our father not even a corrected and updated version of the Holy Gospels has come out, on their lines we continue to read:

.

«While Peter was down in the courtyard, a servant of the high priest came and, seeing Peter who was warming himself up, he stared at him and told him: “You too were with the Nazarene, with Jesus». But he denied: "I don't know and I don't understand what you mean". He then went out of the courtyard and the rooster crowed. And the servant, seeing him, he began to tell those present again: “This is one of those”. But he denied again. After a while those present said again to Peter: “You are certain of those, because you are Galileo”. But he began to curse and swear: "I don't know the man you say". For the second time a rooster crowed […]» [cf. MC 14, 66-72].

.

Anyhow, man Jorge Mario Bergoglio he combined them less big than the man Simon called Peter, who was not chosen by a conclave of cardinals, but by Christ himself. And Peter - I remind those who only speak of migrants and no longer read the Holy Gospels -, besides being chosen by Christ, he was formed for three years by Christ and was able to see several times, in all its glory, the Body of Christ raised from the dead appeared to the Apostles. And if Peter was chosen, perhaps it was because Christ knew well that two thousand years later a better and more merciful vicar of his on earth than the Divine Master would arrive from Argentina, surrounded by pimps coryphaeus ready to scream, to his every unhappy sortie, how wonderful, but above all "epochal" and "revolutionary" this pontificate.

.

An unsolicited advice: all those who are enjoying their ten minutes of power and glory today, know that this pontificate is not eternal. So let them start thinking over which of the floating garbage islands they will want to retreat to [cf. WHO], why tomorrow, for them — the great destroyers and defacers of the Church —, there will be no place, even if it cost having to celebrate a conclave made with stab wounds among the Cardinal Fathers, who will be careful not to let some element such as the evil dwarf, who lives on wickedness, revenge and cruelty, while finding nothing better to do than go around the world to proclaim the new blesseds, because these are the people to whom the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio has opened the door of the next conclave, with its fantastic "epochal turning points".

Tell me if there's no crying …

«If you don't heal your brother who is sick, you are responsible for his blood ". The hospitality as identity of a community healing

visit the personal blog by Father Ivano

- pastoral care of health -

"IF you do not heal YOUR BROTHER IS ILL, You ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS BLOOD». THE HOSPITALITY OF IDENTITY AS A COMMUNITY healing.

[…] long before the phrase of Pope Francis on the image of the Church as field hospital, the first Christian communities were urged by the Holy Spirit to this form of care and assistance in the form of hospitality. The Church began as a friendly community - that is hospital - friendly place in which to recognize need of care, healing and reconciliation with God and the brothers: "Because of this, it is important to reach out to the sick, enabled them to experience the tenderness of God, integrate them into a community of faith and life in which they can feel welcomed, understood, incurred, worthy, in a word, to love and be loved.

The Apostle Paul, It invites us to be considerate in hospitality with these words: "Rejoice in hope, patient in tribulation, persevere in prayer, solicitous for the needs of the brothers, Practice hospitality " [R 12, 1]

.

In the first century d.C at the entrance of some churches there was this warning:

.

«If you don't heal your brother who is sick, you are responsible for his blood " [cf. Beppino Cò the 7 spiritual stages of physical healing, pg. 6 ed. Villadiseriane].

.

I open this new article starting from this suggestion that I found in a small book which deals with the physical healing inserted into a spiritual healing path. While it can not verify the source of history more accurately, what struck me this sentence is not so much an invitation to healing the brother or the charism of healing itself, but the posting of such words re-entry of a church.

.

Reflecting on this, I was struck by this certainty: the Church was born to be healing communities, via santa where rid of their infirmities and enjoy the health and salvation that God gives to his children eagerly. In this you can see the realization of the words of the prophecy of Isaiah:

.

"Shall return the ransomed of the Lord

and come to Zion with jubilation;

everlasting joy upon their heads;

joy and happiness will follow them

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away " (cf. Is 35,10)

.

It is all the more necessary a missionary journey that puts in crisis today certain choices that often - as a community of believers - we prefer. The papal teaching helps us to bring clarity to this effect:

.

"In fact, the Church over the centuries has strongly felt service to the sick and suffering as an integral part of its mission and not only has it favored the flourishing of various works of mercy among Christians, but he also expressed from his bosom many religious institutions with the specific purpose of promoting, organize, improve and extend the assistance to the sick. missionaries, for their part, in conducting the work of evangelization, They have consistently associated with the preaching of the Good News with the assistance and care for the sick. " (cf. personal concern, 1)

.

We must therefore take note how long before the phrase of Pope Francis on the image of the Church as field hospital, the first Christian communities were urged by the Holy Spirit to this form of care and assistance in the form of hospitality.

.

The Church began as a friendly community - ie hospital - friendly place in which to recognize need of care, healing and reconciliation with God and the brothers:

.

"Because of this, it is important to reach out to the sick, enabled them to experience the tenderness of God, integrate them into a community of faith and life in which they can feel welcomed, understood, incurred, worthy, in a word, to love and be loved. For them - as for each other - contemplating Christ and letting themselves be "looked at" by him is an experience that opens them to hope and pushes them to choose life (cf. Dt 30,19)» (cf. Tarcisio Mezzetti, Welcoming the weary and the oppressed, ed. Elledici, pag. 11].

.

Moreover:

.

"In communion with the crucified and risen, with the one who has experienced pain and death significantly, the Church becomes hospitable inn, lap friendly where life, in its entirety, is respected, defense, loved and served, place of hope, where any weary pilgrim and sick, seeker of the meaning of what he is experiencing, You can live healthy and saving his suffering and his death, and writing a significant chapter in its history of alliance with others and with God " [cf. Luciano Sandrin, church, community healing, pg 77, Ed. St. Paul].

.

The Church can not give up this essential feature of its identity, which represents a model is essentially therapeutic service through diaconia of ecclesial communion.

.

Ecclesial communion - for the Church of all time - it is the biggest and most difficult challenge to generate a discipleship that conforms to the image of Christ [cf. RM 8,29]. Ecclesial communion is in fact certainty of the presence of Christ, not only a sign of his loving assistance [CF. Mt 18,20].

.

To be in communion among us - and then enable the resources to be able to bring healing to others - it is essential to be in communion with Christ, pacificarmi with him.

.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta, addressed to Cardinal Angelo Comastri, It was very clear in this regard: "My son, without God we are too poor to help the poor!», wanting to paraphrase these words in the orientation of our reflection we come to affirm as: without God we are too sick to help the sick!

.

Jesus gives us a hint to heal and figure out if we got to be in full communion with him: mutual love [cf. GV 13,35]. We can also surprise us, but not a telltale sign of the presence of Christ in the disciple the number of communions received or made pilgrimages or alms bestowed, not because these things have no value, rather! In fact in human villainy, I can draw near to communion in a state of spiritual disorder, make a pilgrimage with dissipated soul, or bestow alms for personal gain.

.

But I never, never am able to love each other and to feel respect for him if they are not in communion with Christ. I will readily smascherabile and prey of my weaknesses I do not live this communion in the authenticity.

.

Jesus challenges us to a land where it is impossible to cheat. For this reason, ecclesial communion was the pride and the torment of the first Christians, the blessed Apostle Peter the recommended path in the hospitality: "Be hospitable to one another, without murmuring " [cf. 1PT 4,9], and Paul on the path of mutual esteem:

.

"Love one another with brotherly affection, outdo one another " [cf. RM 12,10].

.

The Church hospital, It becomes a place of welcome when Christ is received with all the kindness; place of esteem and respect, when we recognize beloved children of the Father [cf. MC 1,11].

.

The therapeutic interventions of the Church is given by obedience to the Word, as I was able to say in another of my contributions, [cf. item, WHO], that while faith is proclaimed arouses, increases the hope, It invites to charity and produces therapeutic benefits. He says the evangelist Mark:

.

"And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord acted together with them and confirmed the Word with the signs that accompanied it " [cf. MC 16,20].

.

This statement which concludes the second Gospel it's a unique throughout the New Testament, Christ works together with the community of believers so that in the ecclesial communion ARISING OUT preaching fruitful with the gift of faith and healing.

.

In the Christian community after Easter one of the most eloquent manifestations of the presence of the Risen was made right from the healings - as physical recovery - and the liberation - as a spiritual restoration -.

.

Stay in the Church it means clearly perceiving the living presence of Jesus who restores us to health by entrusting us to a community that is made by the Holy Spirit capable of protecting us after being collected by the Lord.

.

It is the evocative image of the Good Samaritan that St. Augustine sums:

.

"This inn will be the home from which they will migrate until, fully redone in health, we will not come into the kingdom of heaven " [cf. St. Augustine, The word is, 131, 6, PL 38, 732].

.

Following the example of the Good Shepherd that leaves the ninety-nine sheep to find the lost [cf. LC 15,6], it is necessary that the whole Church, in its lay and ministerial component, you find and go back to looking for the sick with the freshness and enthusiasm of apostolic times.

.

A Church truly hospitable, dilates her womb so that the weak, the sick and malnourished can recover in the light of the Risen. The Church must respond to a divine imperative: take your hand and look after the sick waiting for Christ [cf. LC 10,35].

.

The Church hospitable communities and healing, gathered around the Savior in ecclesial communion, acquires a pastoral style that intends to operate and interact in accordance with the dignity of the baptismal and ministerial priesthood because

.

"In both cases,, the ministry is realized as a charism serviceable, implemented by the community: the richness of the gifts of the Spirit in the ecclesial body is such that not only the whole Church is to be characterized as a ministerial community, but the various personal or even communal forms of ministeriality never by themselves exhaust the charismatic possibilities that believers are invested with by those who blow where they want " [cf. Bruno Forte, The Trinity Church. Essay on the mystery of the Church, communion and mission, pag. 304, St. Paul, Cinisello Balsamo (Milan) 1995].

.

Cardinal Elio Sgreccia It amplifies and better defines these words, referring them to the specific ministry of health:

.

"It's certainly more ecclesial bring evangelization aid, of sacramental grace, of Christian charity, the fact redemptive to patients through priests, deacons, Religious / e, lay people who not only through the chaplain. To the point that, if the priests were not lacking, we should prefer this formula to the one that sees only the chaplains working in the hospital " [cf. Elio Sgreccia, The hospital chaplaincy, a draft pastoral community, in Together to serve, 3 (1990), pag. 43]».

.

Come inside of of the Christian community nobody - but nobody - should feel entitled to exclude the suffering caregiving: since this exclusion would bring a mortal wound to communion, action of the Holy Spirit, the real presence of Christ among his, to the urgent longing of every man who - since the time of Abel - challenges faith about the reasons for suffering, innocent blood, the pain that has the right to find a warm heart and open arms.

Let's try to imagine a group of three priests who find themselves together for a moment of fraternity and which are respectively: a dogmatic theologian sacramentary, a moral theologian and a canonist. When dinner, not yet late hour and wanting the three conclude with another moment of happy fraternity, they have this idea: "Why do not we go to women?», says the priest specializing in dogmatic theology, asking the opinion of the other two.

.

The specialist in moral theology, great devotee to the holy bishop and doctor of the Church of San'Alfonso Maria de 'Liguori, He thinks for a moment and replies: "Yup, it would be an idea, But I'm thinking about how we could do that without violating our sacred promises ".

.

By then he runs to the rescue the priest specializing in canon law, providing the solution: "Dear brothers, thinking about it, I do not think we would go to violate any sacred promise. In fact, when we received the sacred ordination, what the bishop asked of us? We asked if we promised to keep celibate, Mica asked us to promise to keep chaste. Well, are not we all three bachelors, so respectful of the promise made?».

.

Exulted the two priests Sacramental theology specialists in dogmatic and moral theology: "You are right. We're not religious who professed vows of poverty, chastity and obedience! We have just solemnly promised to keep celibate, no one asked the solemn promise to keep chaste ". And so poco after the three met three wonderful escort and head for a place to end the evening with a flourish.

.

The masters of cinema and Italian theater: Elena Fabrizi, aka Sora Lella [Rome 1915 – Rome 1993]: video WHO

No need to explain certain - but with the heads circulating free these days foot is good to do it -, that the priest, while not professing as the religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, expresses in each case two vows: remain unmarried, What this implicitly implies chastity; obey the Bishop and all his successors.

.

In the doctrinal field and pastoral, the problem of language is crucial, because if the words, in particular to the words-concept, we attribute different meanings, emptying them of their true meaning and filling other, as obvious and inevitable consequence we will create genuine chaos situations.

.

To explain this kind of problem, I have often used two typical terms of romanesco, which are respectively: whore e Paraculo. I always remember indelibly when now almost fifty years ago, by six seven year old child, I was brought occasionally walking by my grandfather and his sister in the Roman park of Villa Borghese. The highlight of the walk was made by visiting the monkeys in the zoo, which I enjoyed giving peanuts purchased in advance to stand a reseller. One day something happened fun: a lady somewhat commoner and for this particularly nice, He began to call the son, that as they say he did not care for the mother calls to tell him to go home. Call calling you, at one point the mother annoys and yelling at the child: «'Large fixed' na mignotta, I give you vόi sbrigà, dovemo who returns home?».

INo impeccable Italian this sentence will sound so: "Very son of a whore, You want to attend, we have to go home?». Of the two things, the one excludes the other: or this beautiful commoner said in front of everyone in the park of Villa Borghese she, mother of that son, It was a whore, or simply, the expression Fixed mignotta it has lost its etymology and is used both as an expression to intersperse in speech, both times to indicate 'A nice person and gajiarda.

Let's move on to another example before the explanations that follow. Time ago, the parent of a young eighteen year old just told me that her son had purchased the branded sneakers, after that, saying that the color was not good with clothes, He asked his father if he wanted to buy, because he would have bought other more suitable color. His father gave him 120 euro with which the son, at a sporting goods store brand, He went to buy another pair of shoes. All with one small detail not exactly indifferent: the shoes sold her father were false, He had bought for 15 euro at Porta Portese, while him, with money from the sale made to his father, he went to acquire the originals. The father found out later and later, laughing with me told me the whole concluding: «… hai understood, my 'fixed, that which is grannissimo Paraculo?».

.

INo impeccable Italian this sentence will sound exactly like this: "… did you understand, my child, that homosexual who is great?»

.

No need for special explanation, you already know perfectly that today, the term whore and the term Paraculo, while having both a negative sense as etymological meaning, terms being born to indicate in a derogatory way certain people, facts or situations, in the current Romanesco lemmas they are used in sympathy tones, sometimes even to indicate a person, with its imaginative shrewdness, He gave it a resounding alone, ie rip-off, for it making you laugh and entertain.

In short: whore, It comes from a popular Latin term disfigurement son of unknown mother, ie son of unknown mother. So they were called and brought forth children left in hospitals by mothers, or more frequently in churches or inside the wheels of convents and monasteries of nuns. In popular language, the Latin term son of unknown mother It is crippled in stepmother, then it was further becoming whore, used as a popular synonym for whore, but lost this meaning given below, as we have shown with the mother who calls her son in the park of Villa Borghese.

.

In nineteenth-century papal Rome - where no one would ever think that in the future, the grotesque orgy of Gay Pride, He could slide through the town starting from the square of the Cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, St. John Lateran, to arrive in Piazza Esedra, Today the Republic Square, in front of the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and Martyrs, place where they were martyred by the Emperor Diocletian many Christians -, give of Paraculo a man, was an offense so grave and shameful, They could risk their lives in two different ways. If you said the Paraculo to populate a Trastevere, what you probably stabbed, then if anything, asking for help from a couple of friends from the nearby tavern, throwing your body into the Tiber; but if you gave the Paraculo an aristocrat, what he threw in the face glove and t'aspettava the morning to five outside Porta San Giovanni to challenge you to a duel, in the course of which, or the offended or the offender would inevitably dead.

.

Paraculo, as etymological meaning He has in itself little cute, because its etymology disparagingly shows a man para, that is, offering his rear to another man to be sodomized. Therefore, the dictionaries of the Italian language that today suggest this term as a synonym for cunning or entity that is able to turn the situation to his own advantage, dating its birth to the period of the sixties of the twentieth century and connecting it to the literature of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Aldo Palazzeschi, they are wrong. To prove it is a study of Dr.. Luca Lorenzetti, researcher at the University of Tuscia, that in Casanatense Library of Rome spotted at the end of the nineties the term in a poem by 150 sonnets dating back to 1830, and used in the prose to indicate with Paraculo il homosexuals Passive [cf. WHO].

.

During the celebration of the Second Vatican Council, We had many problems that have developed in para ... media council and then lasted often with disastrous results in the post-conciliar season. All these problems are mostly born of purely lexical items. Indeed, just where we talk so pounding and obsessive traits of "unity of the Church", if we look, those who have compromised and compromising this unit, have been and are precisely those who sow confusion and disunity through the flawed and arbitrary use of the words.

.

The masters of cinema and Italian theater: Alberto Sordi:video WHO

The problem of the last council It is therefore in the language. For as I have repeatedly said over the years in these columns de The Island of Patmos, the fathers of the Church, for the first time they have abandoned the solid and precise metaphysical language born from speculation the real big school - not to be confused with the decadent neo-scholastic -, all expressed through specific terms and idioms of the Latin language. Soon after the Council Latin, but it remained the official language of the Church, it was abandoned, because even then, most of the extra European bishops, She did not know him most. But since the Second Vatican Council was literally monopolized by the German and North European trend, the expressive language style used is that of the decadent German Romanticism, that seeks first to unite the opposites and contraries, the thesis and the antithesis, the hot oil with cold water. E, you pay attention: we have fallen into this trap, involuntary and in good faith, Also all Orthodox theologians, including Popes John Paul II and, perhaps above all and most of all, Benedict XVI. It has been surreal and romantic spirit that the Church, instead of condemning the error, It began to converse with the error, all with this consequence: the error was not quite correct, fact finding to be the subject of dialogue has strengthened and rooted more, and in this way - convinced of being able to correct it with loving dialogue - it was instead made to penetrate inside the Church.

.

The first document approved, the Holy Council, one on the liturgical reform, permits and possibly approve the liturgical abuses that today we can see in churches? With Neocatechumenal dangerous as more scempiano the Most Holy Eucharist, more screaming like a mantra the rhyme: "We approved, we approved ... the Popes have approved ... we have approved!»? [see my recent study, WHO].

.

How can we, half a century of reform, find ourselves today in a state of total chaos that liturgical not infrequently borders on sacrilege of the Holy Eucharist? Simple answer: the Holy Council dictated the “romantic” general and very general lines, order to undertake a necessary liturgical reform; needed especially on the pastoral level, and of the new evangelization of peoples. but when, in certain very delicate materials, from the liturgy and from its Discipline of the Sacraments which rules, do not give strict instructions, mandatory, accurate and not subject to any different interpretation, will inevitably what today we can see: each has created his own liturgy, their Discipline of the Sacraments, its doctrine and, at last, their own laws. With that the Neocatechumenal, trumpeting a recognition of a purely administrative character granted to them by the Pontifical Council for the Laity [cf. WHO, WHO], certainly not by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith or from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, do not hesitate to lie deliberately lying declaring its adherents and to anyone that "their” liturgies are fully approved by the Holy See. If we then say to these people that this is not true and that they have no right to use and abuse the sacred liturgy, that the sacraments are not available assets of their property and that of the doctrine are not free interpreters or worse makers, they respond by reiterating that "in the Church there was a council" and you, reasoning that way, six "a poor nostalgic Tridentine". And thereby, is obvious that today, in the Church of the romantic and ambiguous vagueness, that with the error dialogue rather than condemn, give a person the "Tridentine", It goes something like … daije er fixed mignotta so funny at all, but because of what the expression means etymologically, not in the amiable and playful way as the sympathetic popolana referred narravo before.

While the great Council of Trent, radically reformed the Church and that led her to an extraordinary missionary work, It is used today as a real insult, on the other hand, not the Second Vatican Council, but the para-council that perversion reaches its maximum in the post-conciliar, But it is considered and presented as a kind of dogma dogma by those who, paradoxically, de-construct half a century the whole dogmatic system of the Church (!?). And when the modern insult Fixed 'na mignotta, ie the "Tridentine", they also want to add insult to Paraculo, in the latter case they tell you: "You are an old dogmatist tied to obtuse and obsolete dogmatisms". So, if Tridentine equivalent today Fixed 'na mignotta, the term dogma and dogmatic, roughly equivalent to that of Paraculo.

.

Without repeating myself unnecessarily, I refer readers to my old article 2014: 'Babel and newspeak: a Church without vocabulary for half a century " [see WHO], This was followed in 2016 one of my keynote Available in video [see WHO].

.

Language is not a substantial element, but accidental. Example: celebrate Mass in local languages, it does not in any way affect the mystagogical substance of the Eucharistic Sacrifice. But, if you are doing external accidental use of the element, that language, are altered through incorrect translations the words that for two millennia and enclose the substance lindane, in that case we can say that, through the outer accidental element of the tongue, It is likely to strike and alter the substance seriously. Exactly as it is today: do not touch the substance of the doctrine, which remains as such, But it is trying to disregard the substantive precepts of the doctrine through a new pastoral practice.

.

These days anyone - I do not remember exactly who, nor remember the name, but that does not matter - has returned to speak of proselytism so harsh and derogatory, giving to this term a negative connotation, just like some give a negative connotation today "Tridentine" and "dogmatic".

.

Let's see what it means and as indicated by the vocabularies proselytizing term, starting greek dall'etimo composed to pros ed I am coming erchomai, which means "coming" or "going". The term literally means proselytizing: carry out an activity, in the case of evangelization Christianity, to convert and to win new faithful.

.

The masters of cinema and Italian theater: Tomas Milian [Havana 1933- Rome 2017] and Franco Lechner aka Balloon [1931-Roma Roma 1987], video WHO

The invitation to proselytize It does not arise from the "bad guys" of the sixteenth century Dominican, that according to sensational false historians They came with swords and crosses to exterminate the Aztecs of that delicate man of Montezuma and forcibly convert them to Christianity. The "bad guys" of the sixteenth century Dominican, arrived in Mexico were shocked by the fact that the great indigenous people of the Aztecs, however, in a state of total decay, He performed more human sacrifices, together with various forms of ritualistic cannibalism, which were prevented by the "cruel" colonizers. That with respect to those who today accuses, both of them, It had destroyed the ancient and glorious civilization in the sixteenth century, arrival of the Spaniards, Instead they poured in their state of the deepest decline and human and moral degradation.

.

A proselytizing, We invite us Our Lord Jesus Christ, turning to the Apostles a precise command, for more in the space-time that goes' from his resurrection to his ascension to heaven. It is the last command that Christ God turns to his disciples before returning to the Father's right hand:

.

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons, speak with new tongues, they will take snakes in hand and, if they drink any deadly, it shall not hurt them harm, lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. The Lord Jesus, after talking with them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word with the prodigies that accompanied it " [cf. MC 16, 1-20].

.

Christ is God who invites us to proselytize, because this is the purpose of and preaching: redemption. Needless to say, the mystery of redemption is very different from the concept of "one religion is the other ', or, "no matter who is Jesus Christ, Buddha or Mohammed ». For if this were the Redeemer, which is one, not many, It would place as element of uniqueness and absoluteness stating: «I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, also you know my Father: from now on you know him and have seen him " [cf. GV 14, 6-7].

.

The masters of cinema and Italian theater: Nino Manfredi [Castro dei Volsci 1922 – Rome 2004], video, WHO

The proselytizing is not anything negative and frightening. Of course, Also most things good and holy, can be transformed into evil and harmful. Certain drugs or certain deadly poisons, when used in the right doses are essential ingredients for the preparation of certain medications - for example certain strong painkillers -, in the absence of which, affections from certain evils in the acute phase, They could be torn from physical pain. Similarly we can say for firearms, that if you give in use to soldiers fighting a just war of defense, are indispensable to defend from attack by a group of ferocious fundamentalist Islamists a village where women are collected, Children and the elderly are Christian and potential objects of their massacres. For those who do should be replicated in this example stating that there are no just wars, and that it is never licit to kill for no reason and motive, if anything, try asking: in many war zones did you come to live? Or: many bodies of children killed, mutilated, made in pieces or burnt, have you had occasion to see, O loving beautiful soul left radical chic dell'Europa pacifundist, where the last disastrous war ended seventy-four years ago, while residents of other regions and countries of the world are born, lived and reached the age of seventy years without ever having met in the course of their existence one day of peace, but going conflict in conflict, the dictator dictator, civil war into civil war? [cf. WHO].

.

The Holy Eucharist, if you received in state of grace, It supports and comfort for eternal life. The same Holy Eucharist, But if received by a person who does not live in a state of grace, It wants to live well and in fact claims full recognition of its right to live outside of grace, It is nourishment for eternal life, but instead becomes poison for the soul, She is explained to the Blessed Apostle Paul:

.

"Each, therefore, examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup; because whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord, eating and drinking his own condemnation " [cf. The Cor 23, 28-29].

.

Even proselytism, It can be turned into something negative, if to do so are certain aggressive and coercive evangelical and Pentecostal sects that are used to playing on the fears and human frailty, in respect of which, that person can not remember the name, I, however, never heard words of reproach and condemnation, least of all for the forced conversions made by Islam, under threat of death or deprivation of civil rights, although today even presented as a religion of peace and love, which is equivalent to present Messalina like it was the martyr of purity Santa Maria Goretti.

.

Giving proselytizing word a negative connotation, It is like giving a negative connotation to the word Eucharist. If anything, claiming that, the concept of transubstantiation and the real presence of Christ in the sacred species soul, body and divinity, could cause serious injury to the sensitivity of all members of the current heretical distaccatesi of the Catholic Christian nucleus, which consider the Eucharist only a purely symbolic memorial in remembrance of the Last Supper of Christ the Lord.

.

Many are therefore the concepts and words that could cause offense to others, for instance: Incarnation of God's Word, Jesus Christ, true God and true man, The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Resurrection of Christ, her assumption into heaven and so on. Per now, just to please the world and not to offend the world, we started from proselytizing and various other things as it were minor, all waiting for the best of the worst comes after everything ...

.

A prayer for our great Italian masters of the cinema and theater, for the dead and for the living: may God make merit for having built and supported by their deep seriousness.

A WISE COMMENT ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

.

Dear Brother,

They do not usually comment on electronic sites, but this time your short essay, linguistically written with "the smell of the sheep" to boot township, He was quite intrigued and amused.

I welcome your approach: It is effective in capturing the interest of the player in the boater the vast sea the electronic network; It helps us not to give in to discouragement and gloom in considering the general confusion of St. Peter's ship and to react with Tuscan spirit, to St. Philip Blacks; It is an example of application preclaro aura maximum: "I do not take them seriously, take them for a ride " [N.d.R. see WHO] that I now practice in my small (while seeking to reject the temptation of complacency).

About "smell of the sheep": I think nothing but one of the many slogans, inconsistent and "imaginative" (in sessantottino sense), by which we are afflicted and led astray in this unfortunate ecclesial era. I know of no biblical and patristic basis for a pseudoteologia "cacosmetica" (κακὴ ὀσμή = stinks); even Jesus Christ, in chapter 10 the Gospel according to John, not even remotely dream of venturing into this language, given that the sheep - are enclosed when the fold - not exactly give off a pleasant smell; but apparently some "pastors" today have only seen the sheep odorless some Christmas crib. On the contrary, the blessed Apostle Paul writes: "For we are before God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to one a fragrance from death to death and the other a fragrance from life to life " (2Color 2, 15 – 16). At this rate, certain "imaginative" bishops will the "updated" packaging sacred chrism is not a pleasant balm (according to tradition), but with "Water sheep - black sheep = Mutton smell - black sheep ", to have new bishops, new priests and confirmed more and more "goats".

Rather than concionar of "smell of the sheep", They should care for many fragrant pretini, who waste good money on perfume for his dapper personalino always expensively dressed to secular fashion and leave in their wake a strong odor of Paraculo (in the original sense of the term), how spiritual edification of the Catholic flock you can imagine.

With regard to proselytism, a way of warning cry, sketch an observation that should be more detailed. I think just the blessed Apostle Paul is one of the main victims of the prevailing modernism. The mere reading of Acts illustrates the fact that he was dedicated nothing more than to "make disciples", "to teach", "Preach" that Jesus is the Christ and the only Savior of all, according to the mission entrusted by the Risen Lord to his Church (CF. Mt 28, 19 – 20; 16, 15. 20; LC 24 46 – 48). Entered into a City, He not impiantava no cafeteria or hospital, not waiting for quiet that his philanthropic activities arouse questions in the other and then presented as a Christian, but at once he preached in the synagogues and in the streets, explicitly calling to faith and paying in person for persecution unleashed against the Jews. Today, the Church leaders censurerebbero, accusing it of proselytism deplorable and divisive action! But how is this reconciled with the dogma of apostolic character of the Holy Church?

The rest, among innumerable heretical nonsense hitherto heard, lately we have also the following annoverarne (He trumpeted shamelessly on the banks of the Po in Turin, with the complicity of the Archbishop Metropolitan competent): if he had known homo-affective couples (?!), St. Paul would not have written Rom 1, 24 – 32; which is equivalent to denying that the Apostle is a Doctor inspired by the Holy Spirit, but rather a poor fool not updated! Be careful and those parts, because the Apostle of the Gentiles has the iconographic attribute a sword in his hand; saw the temper that distinguished him, If you decide to use it, some head buggy-priestly episcopal fall ...

They asked the Pharisees: "Tell us then, what you think: it lawful to give tribute to Caesar?». But Jesus, aware of their malice, He answered: "Hypocrites!, Why tempt ye me? Show me the tax coin ". And they brought him a denarius. He asked them: "Whose is this image and the inscription?». They answered: "Caesar's". Then he said to them: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and to God what is God's"

Usually we write about serious things, but every now and then it can happen to deal with things in the balance between the tragic and the comic.

The fact: Konrad Krajewski Polish-born, of years 55, citizen of the Vatican City State and resident there, cardinal profession and papal chaplain, May 11 has committed a crime on the territory of the Italian Republic: tampering with seals affixed by the company supplying the meters light of a whole building Roman, everything after users had accumulated about 300.000 euro debt for unpaid supplies.

The building it is not the property of the ecclesiastical estate [see WHO, WHO] but of’I.N.P.D.A.P (Institute National Social Security and Welfare Administration's Public Employees), and it has been busy over 2013 Project, and the instigation of individuals who turn out to be the employment professionals. At the head of this committee there is San Filippo Blacks but the anarchic anti-system Andrea Alzetta, said Tarzan, reported numerous times for the crime of trespassing, to follow along with the devastation offenses building and resisting [see, WHO].

The fact is narrated in detail the now-official organ of the Holy See, The Republic. We invite you to read the detailed account of this daily, whose reliability is as such, if not higher, to that of The Osservatore Romano [see WHO].

On the territory of the Italian Republic governed by a sovereign state, including Rome its capital, that is no longer the capital of the State governed by the Pontifical er Cardenal Nepotc - having as only merit that of being the grandson of the Supreme Pontiff -, but by a municipal authority elected by the citizens, It applies the following law contemplated by the provisions of article n. 624 of the Criminal Code:

"Whoever takes possession of movable property [c.p. 631] of others, subtracting it from its holder, in order to gain profit for themselves or others, It shall be punished with imprisonment from six months to three years and a fine of € 154 a euro 516 [c.p. 29] (3). For the purposes of criminal law, It shall be deemed movable thing also electricity and any other energy that has an economic value [c.c. 814; c.p. 625, 626, 646, 647, 649; c.n. 510, 593, 1146] (4). The crime is punishable upon complaint by the injured person, unless one or more of the circumstances referred to in articles 61, number 7), e 625 (5) (6)»

We therefore await to know if the public prosecutor of Rome, after having learned from the newspapers the news of crime, will open a file to be paid by Konrad Krajewski, citizen of Vatican City State, asking if necessary for international rogatory his extradition to Italy to meet the crime committed.

If not, in this pleasant country of ours where almost always out of turn and for trivial matters to say the least we shout to secularism, it means we went back to Rome ruled by er Cardenal Nepotc, but especially, starting today, all delinquent in similar situations will be able to break the seal and breaking the law in such a way, without that the Public Prosecutor can proceed against them, all based on the principle that destructive Caesar on his part owes everything, while Caesar, by subsidiaries that form the body of citizens, is not due yet nothing.

Of one thing, the Cardinal-electrician and who for him It can be quite sure: with this operation gave to someone at least a million votes, without the need to spend time and energy to do exhausting and expensive election campaigns. And this can even call: farsighted Church of the new course.

Indeed, Italian disadvantaged families who often pay with decent sacrifice supplies, if anything, wondering at times the rescheduling of the amounts due to suppliers, friends of Tarzan Okkupatore and those who support him, The vote will give him not even to die. Or to put it clear who was just hard to understand: Matteo Salvini, the terrible naughty boy of the so-called populism, Thanks to the Holy See from the heart!

To get out of this yet another poor showing, the Holy See has only one solution: put your hands in your pocket and pay to Caesar about 300.000 euro bills in back by those who Caesar believes not having anything, or, if not, Free give away a million votes to Matteo Salvini.

In short: to Caesar, except by what is due, He takes it back, forever and penalty with interest.

The decadent suffering Church has entered its Good Friday, submerged by the chorus of servants opportunists who scream yesterday as "Barabbas today, Barabbas! And shortly after, Peter denies Christ three times …

THE DECADING SUFFERING CHURCH ENTERS ITS GOOD FRIDAY, SUBMERGED BY THE CHOIR OF OPPORTUNIST SERVANTS WHO SCREAM YESTERDAY AS TODAY "BARABBA, BARABBA!». AND SHORT TIME LATER, PETER DENIES CHRIST FOR THREE TIMES …

.

We are at fall of and in a few years the Catholic Church as we have known and understood it up to now will no longer exist; exist "other". Our ecclesial and ecclesiastical system has already smashed from the inside, and is currently in progress a disturbing transformation. Unfortunately, both in the College of Bishops in both the Priestly College we do not have even a minimum number of elements able to cope with this progressive decay. For the suffering Church it is so began the painful Good Friday.

When criticism, in itself legitimate, It can not produce anything, because certain special historical situations, social and ecclesial prevent it from generating any effective, It is always to be avoided, because in that case the criticism is drowned in a vicious circle in which only end up feeding itself, increasing the great confusion and great disorientation, rather than squander. And those who exercise this kind of criticism fruitless and harmful, especially if a priest and theologian, could seriously stained with gross negligence.

.

In certain occasions, instead of resorting to the ineffective critical, you can resort to irony, or to greet sneer, I myself have not hesitated to do it, I recognize it and I admit, also because some of my writings that are soaked in irony and mockery, remain public and accessible by anyone today. In fact, when I began to perceive how scientific criticism was ineffective and unproductive, in an attempt to dislodge certain ecclesiastical conscience action are repeated times the weapon irony, up to launch the so-called campaign: "I seriously pigliateli, take them for the ass ". And after this call effect by hovering boundaries between Boccaccio and Pasquino, It specified that in certain contexts and situations around the outlet, the sneer, far from being an end in themselves they end up being an act of perfect Christian charity [see article, WHO]. My fear is that many escapes in what way Christ the Lord resorted He himself all’ironia making use of the expressive style of the time. And not only resorted all’ironia, because the terms of certain invectives used by him are of extraordinary hardness. For if certain expressions riots in dialect of Aramaic by Christ to God zealous teachers of the law and scribes, They should be translated with vocabulary of today's Roman, we would find that the terms loosely equivalent "grannissimi fiji de whore» o di «pockets full of shit», not be able to make in hardness as expressed by the Savior toward certain subjects of his day. Audition eminent exegetes to explain what it meant at the lexical and expressive level contact of the high Jewish dignitaries telling them in an ironic and takes shape: ' Verily I say: the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God " [Mt 21, 31]. Expression this in which there are both the irony is linked to the severity of a deep morale booster. Indeed, this expression, It is equivalent in every way to say today, to the present day members of the College of Cardinals, that the whores working along the Via Casilina are the most respectable of them, but above all most deserving of them to enter Paradise. If then nobody explains it, then I take care of me explain: accusing ups and zealous religious notables to be like whitewashed tombs "beautiful to behold, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness " [Mt 23, 27], in the expressive vocabulary of the time, What it was far much worse than telling them "you are of the greatest pieces of shit". Indeed, with corpses, not to mention the rotting corpses, the devout Israelite was not and could not be defiled, especially the members of the priestly caste, who it was forbidden from Gone [halakha, the equivalent Canon law era], to get close to the burial places even remotely, all for issues related to the maintenance of the purity.

.

So that, comparing certain senior religious notables of rotting corpses, It is greatly much more offensive than simply tell them “shits”. This was Jesus Christ, certainly not the doll androgynous presented in his film Jesus of Nazareth by Italian director Franco Zeffirelli, I can not help but omosessualizzare aesthetically everything it touches, below will continue to mutate into a missy languid even that virile Umbrian male of Francis of Assisi in the film Brother Moon. What about the actual figure of the Seraphic Father, much better than I has spoken recently of one of the Fathers The Island of Patmos, our author cappuccino Ivano Liguori, that is a member of the Franciscan Order, and that of St. Francis of Assisi is the son [see article, WHO].

.

In this regard many readers of our magazine and they laugh always remind, when the columns of The Island of Patmos It was announced my appointment as Archbishop of Naples. Behind to that’burlesque opera emerged in fact the episcopate today's drama, in particular those of the new careerists, or if you want modern whitewashed tombs, that to reach the coveted appointment of bishops were blanketing the poor and poverty. A funny sneer but very sad that article aimed at those newly appointed bishops come to the episcopate after the prostrate New Theology of the poor and the migrant, now placed above the theology of the Word of God incarnate [see article WHO].

Between the end of December of 2018 and the beginning of the new year 2019, magazine devoted several of our readers have sent me many messages in which they ask: "She is no longer what it once was", "Where is his scathing and ironic vein?». Then there are also the provocateurs irreverent, some of them asked me: "At the end of the games, they frightened and silenced, vero?».

.

You can defer on many things, on others not, because when someone, like myself, He has always risked everything and everything in defense of truth, paying almost always very high prices, not least in order to have always indicated, and called the "whited sepulchres" spade, it is appropriate to provide all the necessary explanations, avoiding that come to life and they spread rumors not true, as well as unjust towards me, of the type: “... eventually they made him take fear and have silenced!”. No, it's not true. And now I will I explain why the same is not true: because the positions and the line for some time I have taken are the result of freedom, then what I hope is within the grace of the wisdom of the heart.

.

With all the devotee than necessary, but with more tones sometimes also quite strict, in the past I have directed harsh criticism not only current course of the Church, I am wishing I could "boast" that he also made harsh and detailed criticism that no ecclesiastical authority has until now never denied. Following some of my public complaints, the scars and teasing from hysterical housewives more or less dressed in red, I've got to galore, but private, or worse than public denials, until now I have never received even a. As for my articles, written between 2014 and the 2018, are all preserved in the archive of the magazine The Island of Patmos, then be consulted by anyone who wishes to read them.

.

In terms of pure theological speculation I even expounded on a completely hypothetical question: "Can a Roman Pontiff legitimately elected and legitimate Successor of the Blessed Apostle Peter to be deprived of the grace of state?» [see article, WHO]. And on this hypothesis, that you know has never occurred in the history of the Church, I thought about it a lot, because Christ the Lord, Peter - as I will explain later in much more detail -, before saying "strengthen your brethren in the faith", he said: "That may not fail your faith", and added, "he has turned again", only after these two premises urged him saying 'strengthen your brothers in the faith " [LC 22, 31-33], but we will deal with this later …

THE TRUTH AND THE SYNDROME Pontius Pilate: WHEN A TRUTH CAN SAVE A SOUL AND WHEN IT COULD HARM IT FOREVER

.

Another thing on which it is seriously questioning the concept of truth. It is obvious that we must tell the truth, we pastors in the care of souls in a very special way, the truth that we are devoted servants and preachers faithful, provided that the truth might bear fruit and generate salvation. Therefore when you speak and, speaking, one is exposed without hesitation even at worst ire, it is crucial to question the very way of speaking and proclaiming the truth, because a truth expressed poorly or inadequately presented loses effectiveness, and in that case it is the mission of both do justice to the truth, It is resulting in a major failure, if not worse in damage. Dramatic and more relevant than ever so they sound the words of Christ the Lord given by the Blessed Apostle John who reports on his conversation with Pontius Pilate's question to which he responds: «[…] for this I was born and for this I came into the world: to testify to the truth. Whoever it belongs to the truth, hears my voice ". Hear the words, Pontius Pilate replication: "What is truth?» [GV 18, 37-38].

.

Therefore, if on one hand Pontius Pilate wanted to know and ascertain the truth, on the other hand he, rather than being unable to transpose, he just could not understand the concept of truth. Having said that I add: qualcuno think today, what could be termed as syndrome Pontius Pilate, is probably extinct, if anything, thanks to the decadent and a crystallized neo-Thomism neo-scholastic, argumentative and aggressive, place St. Thomas Aquinas - the authentic one, of course -, What was the truth explained to him the length and breadth, up to earn the titles of Angelic Doctor and of Doctor Common? Unfortunately, the neo-Thomist crystallized, argumentative and aggressive, put to the test today ignores what the truth is much more unknown than it was yesterday Pontius Pilate. Indeed, decadent in our post-modern society, vero e truthful is just what individuals feel and perceive a pure emotional subjectivity level; and treat such metastases with neo-Thomism, it would be like treating cancer with homeopathic pills of positive thinking that, today, It constitutes a real socio-psychological pandemic. So that, the sad reality with which we have to deal - unless otherwise withdraw into the world of the unreal -, It is the fact that the emotion has replaced the truth that that limited Roman soldier of Pontius Pilate knew at least not, or that he was not able to know, to the point of asking: "What is truth?» [GV 18, 38].

.

More than the metaphysical concept of truth itself and by itself, then I'll try to clarify those that can sometimes be the effects or the results produced by a truth that bad or worse expressed. All I will try to depict it with three different examples: the first, linked to the figure of the Holy Father John Paul II, the next two, linked to cases of two different patients affected both from the same brain tumor.

.

He ran the now distant year 1981 when to the Holy Pontiff John Paul II on an apostolic journey to Germany, during a private meeting took place in the presence of several priests and lay people in Fulda City, He was asked why he had not been revealed to the text of the Third Secret of Fatima, that should have been made public in 1960. The future Holy Pontiff, expertly placing the finger on the wound of pruderie media and worldly, curiosity and sensationalism search, He gave this response:

.

«[…] Many want to know merely out of curiosity and taste for sensationalism, but they forget that knowledge also entails a responsibility. It seeks only the gratification of their curiosity and this is dangerous if you are convinced that nothing can be done against evil and at the same time if you are not willing to do something against it " [Voice of faith, n. 10 the 1981, My translation from German].

.

fundamental prerequisite for the truth is the knowledge, which follows the full acceptance of this knowledge, ie the truth. You can claim the knowledge of the truth out of sheer morbid curiosity, but did not accept all the consequences that entails knowledge of the truth? If so, the truth is the most beautiful and precious gems, who can forget the admonition:

.

"Do not give what is holy to dogs and your pearls before swine do not throw, lest they trample them with their feet, and turn again and rend you " [Mt 7, 6].

.

And how many are now the pigs that claimed the "right" to have the pearls of truth, then step on them and turn to tear it to him who thoughtlessly dates?

.

The other two examples are related to a tumor pathology: brain tumor. A short time away from each other I have known in the past cases of two men with both on the same brain tumor, positioned in such a way as not to make it operable. But most of all, the tumor, were both diagnosed when metastases were already spread, making unnecessary the various therapies, from chemotherapy. The first of these patients was a merchant, husband and father of three children. The oncologist who diagnosed the evil explained in detail what were the consequences of that incurable disease in the near future, including a state of total loss of consciousness and the inevitable reduction to a vegetative state. This man, people understood that he was going to his death and before the arrival of it lost their mental faculties, He tried to arrange his practical things and to stay as close as possible to his wife and children. He went even attending church, from which it was a fugitive for many years, He met several times an elderly confessor and returned to receive the Sacraments. As soon as the evil began to degenerate he asked to receive the sacred anointing of the sick, It was always present and shiny. Then the disease took the course that had been explained, and in the grace of God he died, leaving a tender memory of his wife and children.

.

A little time away the same oncologist He diagnosed the same tumor to an own colleague, distinguished surgeon and university lecturer, presenting to it in the same way that it is impossible to intervene surgically and the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy, because of widespread metastases. The distinguished clinician, husband and father of two children, knowing the evil that had to die and how they would die, Instead of returning home he went with his car on the motorway where there is a high bridge a few hundred meters connecting one hill to another, He parked the side of the machine with the four position arrows lit and lunged below. Contrary to the case have just narrated, his wife and children he left at a tender memory, to the point that one of the two sons, then also become surgeon, a decade away from the parent's suicide, he said: "My father did not die of cancer, He died of cowardice ".

.

The very same truth effects and can produce results quite different on the basis of diversity of human subjects: it is the only itch to want to know all about worldly and media costs pruderie, or whether it is very bitter to accept the truth.

.

(II)

"THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS 'BEFORE WHICH THE SERVANTS opportunists SHOUT YESTERDAY AS TODAY" Barabbas, BARABBA!»

.

I did not fail then to express all my human suffering, for example, when I found myself witness unimaginable opportunism of some Catholic journalists, I knew that if anything, and attended by nearly twenty years, and I considered true and sincere friends. That was perhaps my greatest suffering. but do not, as some might think, for they have become more clerical than in fact it is these clerics; weaknesses and these are things that you can safely forgive. In regards opportunists must in fact exercise some leniency, because often they lie behind opportunism only profound weakness and a sense of great insecurity. My reproach - as a result my deep suffering -, It was not moved by these peccadilloes, but a sin of unprecedented severity that compromises in this kind of people the Christian charity itself, for they know well and deeply tragic stories almost always good and the few clergymen who continue to survive in the Church, that have not been simply abused, but exposed to the authentic psychological torture, which as we know are the worst, why more and rigor exercised the most cruel viciousness.

.

Showing themselves totally indifferent to human suffering for reasons dictated by cynical opportunism, these individuals have denied any kind of defense to the truth by acting in total disregard for the blood of the innocent poor. This makes them modern Judas kissing Christ to indicate to the soldiers who have to arrest him [cf. MC 14, 43-46], It makes them modern troubles that face the question of Pontius Pilate, "Whom shall releases, he or Barabbas?», towering over every other voice yelling loudly: «Barabbas, Barabbas!» [cf. Mt 27, 17-20]. And for these things, God do not even waste time to condemn us to Hell, because the highway to six lanes on the straight towards it if the esplanade are these people from themselves, if you do not convert, if they do not repent and if you do not do proper penance [see article by Hypatia Roman cat, WHO].

.

There are many things to which we have witnessed over the last five years of Church history, characterized and marked by a radical and profound progressive collapse. We discovered suddenly old friends how come we'd imagined them, many of us have confided their doubts and misgivings as to friends and loved estimated over, from which they were betrayed by them and then delivered to the modern Sanhedrin, with the kiss of Judas.

OUR BIG TEST OF FAITH BEFORE THAT PASSAGE TO MANY THAT UNCOMFORTABLE ESCAPES: BEFORE YOU TELL PETER 'CONFIRMS THE BROTHERS IN FAITH "CHRIST THE GOD SAYS" turned again ". AND SHORT TIME LATER, PIETRO, DENIES CHRIST GOD FOR THREE TIMES, MUCH WAS repentant …

.

Explaining the concept of point of no return, in a recent article I suggested: "Faced with a visible Church suffers from a doctrinal and moral decay irreversible, you must open as soon as the seed bank " [see article, WHO]. While in an article published earlier this year 2019 I wrote: "In this terrible dark night, for the New Year 2019 the work program has been dictated to The Island of Patmos by Blessed Apostle Peter: “Your enemy, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that your brothers around the world suffer the same sufferings as you " [The Pt 5, 8-9]» [see article, WHO]. In these pages that touch on different topics, by doctrinal lost the moral crisis, until the real apostasy which manifests itself more and more disturbing in the Church, in the words of the Wisdom literature explaining to readers:

.

«[…] I have neither thrown in the towel on ring Boxing, nor do I have raised the white flag before the enemy, least of all by roaring lion have become a castrato of the eighteenth century Baroque singing with the voice of a soprano unvoiced. quite simply, in tracing a work plan for the new year, I reflected on the fact that: “there is a time to tear and a time to sew, there is a time to be silent and a time to speak ...” [cf. Ec 3, 1-8]. And today we have to measure well, talk about what, to prevent the talk, but above all to denounce and criticize, it's just an end in itself, the only result of not the slightest dent in the acolytes of Satan, but at the same time, however disorienting ancòra more God's people very ill and lost, that needs to be sustained in the great test ' [see article, WHO].

.

After this long series of explanations, with reference to the words of that article in early January 2019 Here we are at the aching heart of the explanation; and the heart is the Catholic and priestly heart survived to more heart attacks, then to a stroke, and now it kept alive by the grace of God after a great save heart surgery that saved it with the application of some by-pass.

.

Today, Holy Church, He is experiencing a crisis that has no historical precedent. In most historians and theologians have tried to identify some previous similar, but we were unable to locate the two thousand year history of the Church anything like. We groped to make comparisons with the period Arian heresy of the fourth and fifth centuries, or the great decay of the ninth and tenth centuries, with the moral and doctrinal crisis of the previous clergy celebrate the Fourth Lateran Council under the pontificate of Pope Innocent III, or with more or less similar crisis, also it characterized by a frightening widespread ignorance in the clergy, which preceded the great Council of Trent held under three different pontificates over eighteen long years. But the comparative efforts that do not lead to anything that might be similar to what we are experiencing today. Modestly, on my part, groped for a comparison I compared our era to that of the big decline and then to the Roman Empire [see article, WHO]. I admit that even before this comparison - as I write this article -, the historical comparison and socio-ecclesial holds in very weakly, to the point of visit forced to affirm:

.

«We are at fall of and in a few years the Catholic Church as we have known and understood it up to now will no longer exist; exist "other". Our ecclesial and ecclesiastical system has already smashed from the inside, and is currently in progress a disturbing transformation. Unfortunately, both in the College of Bishops and in the Priestly College we have not even a minimum number of elements that can cope with this progressive decay ' [see article, WHO].

.

To then go on to say:

.

«[…] in this unprecedented situation, by analogy comes to mind the descent of the barbarians from the north of Europe. The profound difference, before this vague resemblance, It is the fact that the barbarians were converted to Christianity, and also thanks to their Christianity was saved and spread among the same barbarians. And from what the barbarians were hit? What drove them to conversion? Soon said: their conversion is linked to extraordinary figures of bishops, priests and monks, which barbarians recognized manly hardening, courage, authority, so great authority. Their, barbarians, who they based and that held all the power, recognized the force resulting from the status grace of the sacramental character of the sacred order and then the grace of God […] Before the fall of the great empire under the blows of apostasy from the faith, It can neither repair the damage nor outrun for cover, you can only salvage, then depart tomorrow from a small nucleus small shed for the world to rebuild over the ruins of the great devastation. A quel point, in a couple of centuries, reborn a small church formed by a few faithful, that starting from scratch will try to explain to the people of the world of the unknown words that no one will know the true meaning: Christmas, Jesus of Nazareth, Easter of Resurrection, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Revelation, Redemption, Grace of God, Trinity, Immaculate Conception … […] Our process of rebirth, however, will be very long, and at the end of the opera it will produce only a small flock of faithful around the world, thereby giving full fruition so the word of God's Word: "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am in their midst " [cf. Mt 18, 20]» [see article, WHO].

.

By making a clear analysis of the current pontificate and impartial, It must be made clear, More times as I did and wrote during these last four years, that the current reigning Pope, although far from being free from defects, sometimes serious, But it is not the responsibility of certain tendencies that start and that develop from afar. He is only the heir, or better: the last heir. All this I explained with an example repeatedly stated in the past to his right and legitimate defense:

.

«[…] he is only the last of the customers come in the restaurant and that crossing the threshold was attacked by waiters who demanded from him payment of the accounts of all those before him had had lunch and dinner without pay, but leaving fine suspended accounts' [see articles WHO, WHO].

.

Certain superficial ecclesiastical, sometimes they lovingly call me back and told me that toward the Supreme Pontiff had expressed severe criticism too. In a way quite contrary, the few clerics animated by the wisdom of God that they continue to survive, however few, indeed unfortunately always less, Instead they untilled by far my criticisms element, understanding and then saying: "Few, Comets, really defend the Supreme Pontiff ".

.

Interloquendo in the past with an old friend, famous Vatican, who tried to tell me once, in a calm and friendly manner, that in some of my criticisms of certain pastoral choices of the Pope he saw a certain arrogance, I replied and explained several times:

.

"If before the people of God confused and bewildered want to be credible, then if necessary defend effectively the Pope, I must first highlight its objective defects. If not, if as do others can introduce as the most wonderful Pontiff and perfect the entire history of the Church, up to deny the evidence of the same facts, at that point, then when I corrected in defense of his sacred person and his high apostolic office, I would not be credible and above all I would not be listened to by anyone believers of Christ».

.

In fact, I can not only testify, but try it at any time as often as in the fulfillment of my apostolic ministry I explained to the faithful the unquestionable legitimacy of the reigning Pope and the sense of filial devotion and obedience which in any case is due to him, the faithful I have always listened, first moved by this certainty:

.

"If he tells you there, that if any did not hesitate to criticize harshly certain pastoral decisions of the Holy Father and some of his unhappy expression, then it means that this is true and that this priest tells us the right, because it is impartial and so intellectually honest ".

.

Every time due to my work I received various attestation of faithful who have told me, "if I had not followed your advice and if I had not placed in the right light, the Supreme Pontiff, Today I would be out of the Catholic Church ", inside me I always said: tonight, the recitation of Compline, I can say with particular serenity the words from the song of the saint and sage Simeon "Now let your servant, Dominated, according to thy word in peace;, Your eyes have seen thy salvation because they have seen. Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;: light for the revelation of the nations, and the glory of thy people Israel» [now let, o Lord, thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word, because my eyes have seen your salvation, you prepared in sight of all peoples: light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people, Israel].

.

I do not know if this old friend, for which I then suffered much later, he understood everything, from my human and priestly honesty in this regard, and always paid the penalty with a high price with the group of convicted innocents to slaughter. Indeed, his apparent defense at all costs of the Supreme Pontiff, especially against the evidence of the same facts, until the actual use of fake, It has finally revealed to target a place and a high institutional prominent role within the Holy See, to reach which did not hesitate to affirm without any ridiculous penalty which Caligula had the tender heart of San Filippo Blacks, that Agrippina and Aspasia were more virgins of Sante martyrs of Agnes and Cecilia purity, Stalin was the great founder of the liberal-democratic state …

.

Under the pontificate of the Holy Father John Paul II and the Venerable Pope Benedict XVI, who also were not exempt either from government or from errors proved choices and even lethal in subsequent years, we experienced the birth of many fine Christian and priestly friendship; we joined in many values, common aims and missions, even in our human and intellectual diversity. Inside the church she talked and debated, sometimes so also lit, but remaining essentially united still being a Christian and a Catholic Holy People of God, the Priestly College and the College of Bishops, free to speak and to serve the Church. This is because, the Chair of the Blessed Apostle Peter, men were far from perfect, including John Paul II, today revered saint for the heroic nature of his virtues; heroism that have not implicated but never perfection. And these Popes have guarded with jealousy wise Church unity. Under the last two pontificates, Holy Church has known the maximum number, first of all in episcopal appointments, instead that the bishops are the driving heart of the Church Body, together with their priests. In the various bishops' conferences, in those days they gathered bishops who were - to use the terms of improper everything taken from the lexicon of journalists and not from that of ecclesiologists -, of conservative personalities, other progressive personality, other ultra progressive personality. And all, united by a common end, They were alive and active part of the College of Bishops. Well, after having examined the reality that today shines before our eyes, ask ourselves what is reduced in principle the episcopate, from the Italian. It is reduced to emulators that mimic the exotic pastoral spun-off by doctrine and placed above the doctrine itself. The homilies of the bishops have a painful plethora of platitudes on a surreal idea of ​​the poor and poverty, followed by equally surreal idea of ​​migration. The bishops have now abdicated the proclamation of the Holy Gospel, to devote himself to make the politicians and the social and political scientists. And all this, I say it and write it for years, always at my own risk. That's why I welcomed as valuable as dew recently expressed and clarified bitterly Emeritus Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, about the bishops who instead of proclaiming the Holy Gospel which politicians [see article, WHO].

.

Because, during the past meetings, The bishops did not hesitate to discuss certain pastoral decisions of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, while today, in this climate of so-called great pastoral opening, opening towards dialogue, collegiality, the acceptance of diversity, the includenza and so to follow, no one dares to make half the contrary sigh? We know this because no one dares utter a sigh contrary, but in any case I remember: because today in the Church reigns terror comparable to that of the Venezuelan regime Nicolas Maduro and the Bolivian Evo Morales and why it has established a real state after a colossal blow. And in the Church was in place a colossal blow, I wrote and explained in 2010, always at my own risk, is intende.

.

A striking example so to speak: in my book written between 2008 and the 2010 and published early 2011, now about to be reprinted from our editions, I was also long and in-depth analysis on "omosessualizzazione of the Church" and explained that those between the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century capeggiavano within the seminars pious gay fraternity, not only they had become priests, but one after another were becoming bishops. Well, know that several of those prelates who were now called upon to solve the problem of gay epidemic Finally exploded publicly among the clergy, nine years ago they accused me of having used an "unacceptable definition and highly blasphemous expression" to have written that "the Church has broken a genuine nubifrossing universal, but that no one would notice it ' [cf. So Satan He Trino, 2011, work in print]. Indeed, the same ones who yesterday denied the existence of the problem and that picked on me that instead I tried to fling it under the eyes this problem Mephistopheles, today are those who ridicule paradox, the problem, They were called to solve it (!?), after having protected the armies of homosexual priests and have encouraged the promotion to the episcopal dignity of some of the worst of them and after having inserted a number of other offices of the Roman Curia. Today they have finally discovered the hot water, while i, years and years ago, already I warned that the Church was in place a blow homosexualist [see this article 2013, WHO].

.

It is a fact, not an ungenerous judgment and irreverent: today, the divisive, for unspeakable paradox, It takes its life from that summit of the Holy Church that unity is the guardian. Today, to cause confusion in matters of doctrine and faith, It seems to be just the person to whom the mandate to "confirm his brothers was given by Christ in faith God ' [cf. LC 22, 32]. And also in this regard, debating time ago with a theologian specialized to cut the sentences of context to support their interpretations and thus elevate them to the status of a dogma of faith, I remembered that Christ God, to Peter, Before urge him to "confirm his brothers in faith", She warns him saying:

.

«Simone, Simone, behold Satan has demanded to sift you like wheat; but I prayed for you, that thy faith fail not:; and you, turned again, strengthen your brothers in the faith " [LC 22, 31-32].

.

The Word of God is clear the first to warn against the pitfalls of Satan, to which Peter is not free, if anything, it is even more exposed to everyone else. Then he prays that no less is in Peter's faith and, above all, clarifies: «again». Only after this clear call to repentance, God says Christ to Peter, "Strengthen your brethren in the faith", always with respect to those who jump at the bottom of all these basic steps, to enunciate so de-contextualized and facts completely false and then falsante, Peter has given a mandate to "confirm his brothers in faith", and that's! Of course I received this mandate, but all previous warnings preceding this invitation to confirm, what happened to make it do, or better: how we read them? And after Peter received this mandate, perhaps he not found better things to do than deny Christ three times? We also remember the way, where Peter denied Christ: She made him "swearing" and then, getting angry, also "cursing" [cf. MC 14, 66-71]. It said it is well to remember that Peter, its mandate, not received following the election occurred within a conclave of cardinals, because its mandate Peter received it from Christ God himself.

.

Whoever departs from the great metaphysical and theological speculation to drown finally, before unexpected problems, never occurred in the history of the Church and almost impossible to solve, in the lake of the blind fideism uncritically, She has unfortunately chosen in such a way to waste his life, providing a false view of faith and falsante, all to defend themselves from their ghosts but above all to have and to give an answer at all costs and whatever the cost, up to distort the Holy Gospel by cutting from it phrases, He is taken and isolated from the whole context, become a big lie by the work of some counterfeiters, just like the phrase cut and de-contextualized: "Strengthen your brethren in the faith" [LC 22, 31-32]. In this case we have to prove holy envy for the illiterate, for those who ignore the existence of Aristotle, who do not know what the school, who have never heard of Saint Anselm of Aosta and St. Thomas Aquinas, but with half Ave Maria acted with evil act of simple and strong faith, They will end up in Heaven, while we, who it has been given the intellect and science well, if intellect and science we have used them to distort and falsify the Word of God and groped thus to manipulate the people of God, Because God is merciful end up in purgatory until Doomsday.

.

This is obvious as the People of God today, along with its bishops and priests, must more than ever to protect Pietro, away from him the wiles of Satan and pray for his repentance, affinch'egli can then proceed to the fulfillment of the mandate conferred on him by Christ God, that is to confirm the brethren in the faith. And anyone, Bishop or Priest, that before this reality so evident choose to withdraw into fearful silence dictated by reasons of expediency staff, It should take into account that "the master of that servant will come on the day when he least expects it, and at an hour he does not know, and will punish him with rigor assigning it the unfaithful " [LC 12, 46]. And we, Bishops and Priests, not do we get away before the judgment of God through the benefit of not knowing or unavoidable ignorance, as the poor servant, while not knowing the will of the owner "he did commit things worthy" and "shall receive a light beating" [LC 12, 48]. To us, Bishops and Priests, that both have received from God for the gifts of grace, Christ the Lord warns us: "To whom much is given, much will be asked for; to whom men have committed much, It will ask the more " [LC 12, 48].

.

To then place everything in the light of true mercy, it remains clear that no one is obliged to be a hero, as no one is obliged to accept the martyrdom, which not coincidentally is within the particular gifts. God can give man the possibility and the gift of dying a martyr for the faith, but he can not accept all, without compromising the eternal salvation of one's soul. The Blessed Apostle Paul we encounter is then explaining:

.

"Accept among you who is weak in faith, without discussing this hesitation. One believes he can eat anything, the other instead, that is weak, eats only vegetables. He who eats not despise those who do not eat; those who do not eat, don't misjudge who eats, for God has welcomed him " [RM 14, 1-3].

.

Even this Pauline warning needs to be read and then including for what really sends: the weak in faith, or one who does not eat or who can only eat legumes, can not - nor ever he must be allowed -, to attack by the destructive spirit of those who are strong in faith, nor can steal food to those who can feed, who eats and who needs vital nourishment.

.

Therefore, if Peter, paradoxically or test of faith given to us by divine mercy, instead of being the point of end units with the element to be used as the split point, in that case, more than ever we must be united to Peter, to which today it is necessary to show our loyalty to the Church through our faith. The reigning Pope, in the situation that has arisen and which he first is a prisoner with all the vagueness and lexical and doctrinal ambiguity of the case, It can not in any way be helped by our criticism, including those based on the truth of the facts, because in this situation of decline degenerative no longer serve any good, but above all they can not produce anything. But, sooner or later, he might instead be touched and led to repentance by our faith, after we, with our work - not with our useless criticism -, we will have shown our faith [Ge 2 1, 18].

.

The current pontificate can only be interpreted in the light of the deepest Mystagogy. This moment is in its way a great gift of grace, because maybe God, after the huge disasters we have operated for generations, He is testing our faith right through the Chair of Peter, who at times seems to wobble after being eaten away by termites. For generations, We wanted to play to make all that moot, unstable, insecure and relative; Perhaps God is trying to make us repent showing us the fruits of this ancient degenerative process now than a century, revealing the questionable, the unstable, insecure, and its the same Chair of Peter. Therefore, our demand, should not be much or if the present Pope is or is not a good Pontiff, why else should be our question: we, during all the decades of history, what have we done to deserve a Pontiff Magno? And if God was mercifully repaying us with the same coins that by the time we're spending, to lead us to repentance, the forgiveness of our sins and our true conversion?

.

Today, many children suffer, not feeling cared for by a loving father. Impute to his father the responsibility not to protect the mother and not to care properly family, sow between their children grudges and quarrels, instead keep them together in loving harmony. Let's say this is unfortunately the father, what to do: attack it, or perhaps deny it? No child can deny the fact that the father who generated both his father, regardless of all those who could be his worst demerits. Wanting, in cases of necessity, the son can stay away from his father and live as if the father did not exist, but never destroy the figure of the father and the legitimacy of the father himself.

.

This is the test of faith: maintain the integrity of the father figure and protect, so that this legitimate role to be played tomorrow as a wise and loving father. Those who rant against the alleged "cowardice" and "shameful silence of the few good bishops and cardinals who we are and who remain silent", They may not realize that their senseless war cry against the father would only lead to the inevitable destruction of the entire family unit?

IV

THE PARADIGM OF THAT TITANIC SINKS, ON WHICH IN A FEW THINK THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOULS

.

Over the last few years, speaking and writing repeatedly on the crisis of the Church, like every great crisis becomes irreversible at the time that has passed point of no return, from 2014 I have referred several times to the Titanic paradigm, sunk in the year 1912 [see WHO]. Using the image of the Titanic struck by 'iceberg I have written several articles in which the priorities to which indulge in such times of emergency before the major catastrophe were explained and indicated. Today, we Bishops and Priests, we are on the Titanic leaky in the holds after being hit by 'iceberg. Faced with this terrible tragedy, there are different reactions, there offer a realistic overview. For instance: There are those who having risen in senior management roles in the ferry company White Star Line, they move for the various salons of the ocean liner saying that it is not true that it is taking on water and that it risks sinking, but that is the whole a colossal lie put about by enemies of the naval societies and those who hate the captain, which he has one and only one defect: to be simply and totally perfect.

.

Then there are people indifferent inside the party room - type the increasingly surreal tenants of buildings of the Roman Curia, to be clear -, who continue to celebrate as if nothing had, convinced that this transatlantic so perfect it can never sink; and that if you really sank, the matter concerns those that are piled in the holds of the third class.

.

Then come those who, aware that the liner is sinking and that most of the passengers to die shortly thereafter, begin to criticize the shipyards in Liverpool where the Titanic was built, while others responded with criticism of the Captain, they say real culprit, not having given orders to turn in the right direction after the sighting of 'iceberg. The discussion will follow the divisions into factions and groups and the consequent quarrels, up to those who are beginning to support the captain in truth it is not the real captain and that's actually never been named, because the real captain was what, to a conspiracy of British Freemasons in cahoots with the Mafia of Wales hostile to the shipping company, He was forced to retire early. Meanwhile the water level rises, but little it cares, indeed not interested in anything, because what they are pressed about who is to blame, why and why. And we fly over the "masters of logic" that attempt to explain that if 'iceberg It hits this ship can not sink, all for the simple fact that the captain can not go wrong and never under any circumstances, any kind of maneuver face.

.

Finally we are there, Mindful that happened was induced to push the engines to the maximum to beat each crossing record and be able to arrive before all the other transatlantic earlier in the port of New York, so aware of the sinking underway, to which is added the fact that the lifeboats are not enough for everyone, and that those who end up in the sea, knowing swim, will not survive help arrives, once immersed at a temperature of zero degrees in the icy waters. And in this, we men of faith, we see the realization of the warning:

.

"Wide is the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:; how narrow is the door and how narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find!» [Mt 7, 13-14].

.

Like this, rather than waste time arguing about the navigation choices unintended or taxes to the captain, or instead discuss on the transatlantic building materials, or instead reassure that the captain can never and in any way wrong maneuver, we move between the cargo holds with water that is rising more and more, inviting men and women to repentance and purification from sin, acting head in the head in full absolution article died:

.

«Ego, Faculty which the Apostolic See, And I grant remission of sin. In the Name of the Father, and sons, and of the Holy Spirit» [For the faculties granted to me by the Holy See, I grant you the remission of all your sins. In the name of the Father, of the Son and the Holy Spirit].

.

And while the aristocrats and members of the upper class Yesterday and today, they continue to be pleased the ferry company White Star Line in the party room and to consider the ship absolutely unsinkable, we continue to recite from faithful to faithful: «I absolve you …». As long as the water it will not have to hand over submerged purified, through this sacramental sign of Baptism - the water -, the prize of eternal life.

.

there, my beloved and respected brothers de The Island of Patmos and me, We have choosen, as devout priests of Christ, to operate for the salvation of believers of Christ up to our drowning; and if we drown, we intend to drown pronouncing the sacramental formula: «I absolve you ... "until the water has submerged us and our mortal body transformed into the image of the glorious body of Christ [cf. Eucharistic Prayer III, Memory of deceased].

THERE IS NO WAY UNLESS OBEDIENCE TO PETER, WHEN TO OBEY THE SPECIES CAN BE PAINFUL. THE GREAT LESSON OF POPE BENEDICT XVI obedience AND LOYALTY

.

The story of Pope Benedict XVI what it is all yet to be written, but above all to know, because we do not know the real reasons for his act of renunciation. We know only that it was a free act, valid and entirely legitimate. It is he who has repeatedly explained. The reasons now unknown, maybe someday emerge, maybe in time or maybe in a long time, do not make void his act, and least of all the valid election of its legitimate successor.

.

Unfortunately, while all are wondering more or less fanciful issues, advancing hypotheses mostly surreal, none captures the solemn lesson given to us all by the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, which is this: He has moved away from the Vatican City before the opening of the Conclave, already saying before his election his "unconditional obedience" to his successor. Soon after, his successor elected who called him to announce him in person his election, he said: "Holiness, even now I promise you my total obedience and my prayer ". And if the Venerable Pope Benedict XVI, whose ministry, Exceptionally, instead cease with his death ceased with his free act of renunciation, He professed with such faith and all their obedience to His Successor, we, perhaps we should follow his example and do the same, instead of arguing, raising absurd questions and reduce this gesture of extraordinary historical significance to a sleazy chatter internetico seasoned with oil and salt science fiction and conspiracy?

.

It provided a unique case in which a priest must, not only disobey the bishop, but it is required to do so: just in case the bishop to require or command the priest things contrary to the Holy Gospel, al deposit of credit and the perennial Magisterium of the Holy Church. Repeatedly, during recent years, I explained and reiterated that none of us, during such a solemn act is the consecration of a priest through the Sacrament of Orders, He never promised that the bishop would always be nice or that he would always respected. All of us, present before the priests and the people of God have publicly promised to the bishop filial respect and devout obedience. This is what the bishop must: filial respect and devout obedience. No priest has ever promised it would be a perfect pimp or that would be competed in the art of to lick, to use a poetic understatement of Gaius Valerius Catullus [Carmen 97, verbatim: “ass licking”].

.

He said once a bishop in snappier tone: "You seem not to be missed opportunity to show your almost total lack of respect towards me '. Said this, already before continuing I want to clarify that he was not one of the two bishops whose jurisdiction have so far depended canonically and happily. Remaining somewhat perplexed replied: "Your Excellency wants to tell me which church law or as a solemn promise provides that a priest should estimate a bishop? The Authority of the bishop I obey, because obedience is due to him and I Did I solemnly promise. Instead, with regard to the estimate, that is not due, therefore, If the bishop wants, as far as I though must deserve and earn ».

.

Needless to say: if the size of priestly life, which it is inserted into a precise sacramental hierarchical structure, takes over the emotional worm “I do not like then do not obey”, or “I do not like then do not recognize him as an authority”, at that point the Church, depicted in the symbolism like a boat driven by Pietro, in this case it could easily sink without even having to hit a iceberg like the Titanic.

.

There is no other way, if not obedience to Peter, together with our prayer so that he mend his ways, and it has turned again to fulfill what is its main and high apostolic ministry: "Confirming the brothers in the faith". Meanwhile we, in this climate in which the division and disunity seems to come to life right from the figure of Peter himself, more than ever we must unite in a sort of holy league and always keep the words of the Apostle Paul Blessed very clear in mind:

.

"But if you bite and devour one another, heed that are not consumed by one another!» [Gal 5, 15].

.

The People of God lost and disoriented, no need of quarrels triggered by blogger Looking for follower; It needs holy pastors in the care of souls and lay people involved in spreading the gospel truth, who share the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, come noi of Padri The Island of Patmos we have been saying for years and as recently reaffirmed the Cardinal Gerhard Muller Ldwig in full awareness that the Church is going through a profound moral and doctrinal crisis [see article, WHO]. This is our mission, Based exhortation of Blessed John the Apostle:

.

"And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one as we are one. I in them and you in me, that they may be perfected in unity that the world may know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me " [GV 17, 22-23].

.

Try, therefore,, Dear Faithful and dear Readers, of the safest islands where ads and transmitted the revelation. Do not jump to nurture controversy, sterile and so-called critical scoop surreal around the various blogs that swarm on unreliable computer network, many of whom do not even have the names of those responsible or those who write some nonsense, not to mention the serious insults to the reigning Pope and those bishops and cardinals from which, these people do not even have with your face and your name, They would claim, however, acts of "heroic rebellion", unaware that rebel against Peter would result in the tragic destruction of the Church.

.

How many of you act in this way harm themselves, their faith and the Holy Church. On the contrary, for the pastoral and doctrinal protection service that for years we offer on the columns of this our Patmos Island, try to offer your support and your financial contribution as well, because as you know our work has, however, harsh living management costs, besides the fact that:

.

"Do not you know that those celebrating the cult, from the cult get their food, and those who serve at the altar, receive their share from the altar? So also the Lord has commanded that those who proclaim the Gospel should live by the Gospel " [The Cor 9, 13-14].

.

The good shepherd, if they really are, they must above all and above all be supported, is following them, It is contributing to the needs useful to fulfill the onerous work of their apostolic ministry. And the good shepherds, are primarily those who work in the Church and for the Church, with Peter and under Peter, to protect the Church and the Holy People of God. Who invites to rebel against his father and to destroy the father figure, or worse to deny the father, unfortunately he did not understand anything about the mystery of salvation, because this mystery is not realized through the emotional sentimentalisms, but through that obedience which eventually leads to the cross:

.

« […] appeared in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient unto death
and death on the cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted
and she gave him the name
that is above every other name;
that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend
in the heavens, on earth and under the earth;
and every tongue
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father "

[Fil 2, 7-11].

.

But if anyone knows other ways different from the cross indicated by Christ the Lord to achieve salvation, to me indicates, because unfortunately, until today, to me are totally escaped. Also because when Bishop, consecrating priest, He handed the book of the Holy Gospels to announce the mystery of redemption, and the bread and wine offered by the Holy People of God for the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, it may be that I have not really understood what I needed to do and how I had to do? Or should I perhaps instruct me to carry out properly the sacred ministry and to preach the Holy Gospel properly, dai blogger Anonymous scattering quarrels, odes and poisons in the telematic network? Should I let me explain the angry internet users who attack the reigning Pontiff of sites and blogs, so almost always anonymous and rigor, But except reclaim the heroism of others, they say not guilty of rebelling publicly to Peter?

.

Then, Dear Faithful and dear Readers, place a pastor in charge of souls, He was also a very bad priest and limited, however it remains forever most trusted and reliable sacramental grace of a blogger more or less anonymous with a vision totally distorted and fanciful of Church and Catholic doctrine, as I expressed earlier this year [see article WHO], Treasure it and follow with Christian scruples and where necessary, to sacrifice the warning of the Blessed Apostle Peter:

.

"I exhort the elders among you, which elder myself, witness of the sufferings of Christ and partaker of the glory to come: feed the flock of God that is entrusted to you, not by constraint but willingly, according to God; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not dominating the people entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, You receive the crown of glory that does not fade. Equally, butter, young, be subject to the elders. Put all of humility towards each other, Why God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, You may exalt you in due time, throwing all your worries into him, because he cares for you. Keep sober, watch. Your enemy, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that your brothers around the world suffer the same sufferings as you. And the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, after a brief suffering will strengthen you and make you strong and steady. To him be the power forever. Amen!» [The Pt 5, 1-11].

.

For those who do this is not clear, despite all the more precise and lucid explanations, in such a case you can always retreat to Pontius Pilate company and spend their lives wondering with him: "What is truth?» [GV 18, 37-38]. And while the dogs bark at the moon, the caravan passes … [old Arab proverb], and together with the caravan also passes the possibility of entering the mystery of salvation, as it tells the parable of the virgins foolish, that when finally came groom, They were left outside the door [cf. Mt 25, 1-13]. And outside of Christ "leads the sheep" [GV 10, 7], there is the "fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" [Mt 13, 42].

Notre Dame was burnt down at the end of the eighteenth century on the stage of the guillotine that gave birth to freedom, at the equality and to fraternity, through thousands of severed heads

Our magazine It has many readers scattered across Europe and the world, and one of these yesterday, from Paris, as he followed on live television the fire of Notre Dame de Paris cathedral, He has written a few lines then sent to the Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, who showed them to the Fathers de The Island of Patmos, who have decided to publish these few introductory words: the man is no longer able to read the signs. Everything seems to be due to chance, or even fortuitous coincidences. So we have to take as purely fortuitous that the country from which sprang to life two centuries ago one of the fiercest process of de-Christianization of Europe, at the beginning of Holy Week, just days before the memorial of the passion and death of Christ the Lord, the fortuitous event He has given life to this terrible fire … everything and anything but fortuitous … About "fortuitous", a dear friend, longtime catechist, yesterday published a very interesting comment that we invite you to read " Magnificat di Paul Claudel Notre Dame " [see WHO]

Wax Museum in Paris: French Revolution, depiction of severed heads on the guillotine

Find Padri de The Island of Patmos,

At the beginning of Holy Week, Notre-Dame burns. It collapsed the time, It collapsed the pinnacle, in the flames. I am writing while in front of the windows of my house, which it is located a few hundred meters air line from the cathedral, Witness to a depressing sight, while on television are transmitted shooting up close.

.

However, Notre-Dame has already been wound the late eighteenth century by abhorrent violence of the revolutionaries, that with a blasphemous procession lead inside and lay on the altar a half-naked woman who symbolized the goddess Reason. It is still desecrated with the blood of a madman who committed suicide under the main altar in 2013. Then again hurt by Flash of tourists cameras that can see nothing in those marbles if not beauty grotesque and proud of a dead civilization.

.

They cry! They cry and cry for a long time, those little men, They will cry scandal, the tragedy. Shriek Emmanuel Macron: "... Sad to see burning a part of us". Bercia below the mummy of the Quirinale: "... An exceptional artistic heritage of immense significance for France, for Europe and for the world culture […] the entire Italian tightens with sincere friendship and lively participation ... " .

.

the presbytery with the high altar on which in November 1793 It was carried in procession and raised over a half-naked woman who represented the cult of the goddess reason

Adolescent not grown Elysee to the mummy of the Quirinale, these and other liars, because Notre-Dame venerate the marble casing and bas-reliefs; the monument French identity, It not what was visible work of faith. They worship a tangible sign of victory: the monument to the dying Christianity, of which they are the executioners.

.

Maybe someone among them today rejoices in secret. The small church monument, Now ashes and rubble. More consistent of all more or less radical Islamists, who at once celebrated “felice” event.

.

They have no right to cry Notre-Dame, which it is not that secular France which has long evicted God and Christianity, but the People of Christ, languishing and cries from well before the flames licked the cathedral.

.

three birds circling above the flames, because three and not two or four? Like the three lightning struck the cross on the dome of St. Peter in 2013, because three and not two, she quattro, or five ?

If the Lord permits that one of his churches to catch on fire, even the smallest and unguarded parish churches, It is to remind us that Christianity is on fire. And those flames did not arrest the firefighters, not arrest the hypocritical tears of politicians and bureaucrats, no time.

.

Those flames will burn forever, until the Lord wills it, and the serpent's head will be crushed by the woman [cf. Gen 3, 15] woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars [cf. AP 12, 1].

.

But Christianity does not die with Notre-Dame devastated by flames. He died with sold and demolished churches every year on French soil, in Belgium and the Netherlands. The Cathedral of Utrecht, refuge of a minority faith and threatened among the sand dunes of the North Sea, soon no longer belong to his Church, because it was put on sale by the diocese, that can no longer keep it.

.

But they did not, do not cry Utrecht. Do not mourn the remains canonical houses of Lorraine who become night club and community centers, professional studios and museums. Do not mourn the faith that dies. Mourn the marble catafalque that reminds them of the triumph, as the ghetto of Prague, intact on the orders of the Führer, he reminded the Volk in a Europe hitlerizzata, the “race” defeated and annihilated.

.

Notre Dame will not become museum a defeat faith. In those flames, indeed, Christianity triumphs. In those flames Christ triumphs. supreme Nell'oltraggio, as in the blood of the martyrs, the triumph of the Cross.

.

Is not it that today "we are all Paris'. Oh, lukewarm, you need the fire to cry. But even you will become hot: "You are neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold or hot! But because you are lukewarm, that is, you are neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth " [AP 3, 14-16].

.

No, stay at home, hold on your Europe, your devilish utopias: said abortion rights and intangible social achievement, euthanasia indicated as an act of mercy, marriage between same-sex couples may adopt children, or buy them from the wombs for rent …

.

Christianity languishing is Notre-Dame in flames, and is therefore the Christianity to claim in every way Notre-Dame, not the secularists that Christianity they killed her.

After publication on the columns of our magazine of the essay on the Neocatechumenal Way [cf. text WHO] I had a long talk with a psychiatrist friend of renown. At the end of the interview I asked him if he could write a report that I published assumendomene me all personal responsibility. We could not have done differently, it is a scholar recognized by the international scientific community and especially considering the possible risk - not to mention the guaranteed risk - that instead of focusing on content, many people would end with polemics on his person and on psychiatry in general with laughable arguments, just as happened to my essay, and as anyone can see by scrolling to the end of that my text joints comments from several members of the Neocatechumenal Way, who intervene by denying the facts and trying to manipulate reality in a way that is sometimes irritating [cf. see WHO].

It follows below the text of the illustrious psychiatrist …

LETTER OF AN EMINENT psychiatrist

.

I never intervene on forum, of any kind are, But I do except for Friendship estimate that binds me to Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, whose association I and other psychiatrists we have often made use, for example, when some Catholic lay groups or even some uneducated priests and not authorized by the bishops, They have ventured into exorcisms, causing the deterioration of physical and mental state of people suffering from mental disorders, and at the same time confirming the family, unable to accept the reality of mental illness of their joint, that it was the fault of the Devil.

.

In several of these cases, He has often been of great help to me and several of my colleagues. Indeed, where there is a disturbance or mental illness, one of the worst things to do is to transfer elsewhere the causes, in order not to accept the mental illness itself, thus legitimizing the patient and his family in the rejection of psychiatric disorder. Like this, father ariel, which at the time had a well formation as an exorcist and considers that certain exceptionally rare cases, indeed very rare, several times he helped various psychiatrists by severely recalling both lay Catholic groups who staged liberating prayers, and some priests esorcista-do-it-yourself, or so-called freelance, but also it has repeatedly requested the intervention of the bishops, before the damage caused by such persons to persons with psychopathology sometimes even severe type, and not a few of my colleagues him for this still very grateful for the invaluable assistance.

.

Father Ariel, priest and scholar of recognized reliability, It is the guarantor of my "real life", since for professional and institutional reasons I am obliged to choose the formula of Letter Signed. It goes without saying, however, that, father ariel, has my autograph letter registered together with a copy of the report I delivered to the Holy See in 1998 and on which below will detail.

.

They are specialist in psychiatry, specialist in neurology, director of clinical research on mental disorders and ordinary emeritus; for my skills I had and I have collaborated with various governmental and non-governmental institutions: with the National Research Council, with several North American associations for the recovery of psychologically damaged by the so-called psycho-seven people, with various international psychiatric clinical institutes that have sent me to hold several masters also to illustrate the dynamics and recovery techniques of this type of patient to colleagues and trainees.

.

A Father Ariel I performed a document at the time protocollato to the Holy See, and along with it a private letter reached me months later and dated 12 January 1999, sent to me by a prelate of the Curia is now a senior cardinal, who informed me of his own free initiative that my relationship had been "personally read and appreciated by the Supreme Pontiff to which I myself handed holding me with His Holiness for a private interview 25 minutes ».

.

Premise:

.

  1. after my meeting took place in 1998 with Mr.. Kiko Argüello and Carmen Hernández the defunct, favored by some prelates who introduced me not as a friend but as a psychiatrist and "modern philosophy scholar" and that entertained me to dinner with the two and the rest of the evening for a total of 6 hours;
  1. after consideration of numerous video-documents that were recorded public speeches of these two founders of this Catholic lay association;
  1. after consideration of several written testimonies from people living in different parts of the world, out of this aggregation and sent by them to the Holy See and to me it provided by the prelates who had contacted me to ask expert opinion;

.

formulai sui Sig.ri Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez one diagnosi where I focused in both the narcissistic disorder of the existence of the serious type personality and particularly exacerbated nell'Argüello, Hernandez while he was suffering as a consequence for submission to the dominant personality dell'Argüello.

.

To the layman precise in the short and said disorder is characterized by grandiose ideas (the so-called megalomania), with all the consequences and variables, hypomania included, nell'Argüello present in severe and characterized by high peaks of inflated self-esteem and manic verbal. In these types of narcissism personality generates sense of superiority sometimes immoderate, with the further peculiarity arrogance and disregard, the propensity to lie and especially to alter and to induce others to the alteration of reality.

.

If these types of clinical subjects choose it as a ground for their manifestation and realization the religious sphere can generate serious damage, exercising an authority on the subject that transcends the human being as deriving from their divine. People with these psychopathological disorders end up in fact to legitimize itself before others by putting: "I do not want me, He wants and God commands him ", thus producing even incalculable harmful effects on the fragile psychologies, on psychos, about suffering from various depressive syndromes, but also on other patients like them as narcissistic personality disorder.

.

By divine investiture of self-attribution the pathological narcissist justify before his followers the subversion of reality and any kind of practical real data through denial of strong emotional charges broadcasts bring, the effect in the subject, the year inhibition of critical sense also most elementary. It follows the danger produced by the so-called "plagiarism" effect and its manipulation of weak personality, or encumbered in turn mild or severe disorders who end up finding, in these leaders and combinations they create, self-legitimation and safety. If you detached from these associations and their subjection to the personality of leader, these people lose self-legitimation and all kinds of security and, assuming the "best", fall into depressive syndrome endoreattiva, which it is typical of loss produced by mourning, but also from other situations of loss experienced by the subject so traumatic as bereavement.

.

In my report Seven or are drawn up at the express request of some prelates of the Holy See, I dettagliai that in these lines I have just summarized very quickly for explanatory discursive level.

.

I believe that the injured persons, including more families, are a widely documentable reality, no false rumors spread by those "inevitable enemy" figures that constitute them always necessary; of the "enemies" whose imaginary actions of hostility need certain types of leaders and certain structures to be able to declare "victims of persecution", imputing to them persecutory actions against them, all in a closed environment and characterized by the irrational collective. Not a few are my colleagues who participated in caring for each other psychotherapies so-called "leaked", or entire families treated with group psychotherapy for the whole family.

.

The ecclesiastical authorities have been informed several times over the years, but it seems to have chosen not to listen, despite having agreed with me and my other colleagues. In fact, I understand that also asked the opinion of other specialist, including an experienced Spanish psychiatrist, Member of 'The Work of God, with whom I had a long private talk in 1999 and following various exchanges.

.

In that year 1998 I also gave reason, when I illustrated the kind of alterations and fractures that may of arising when these aggregations, which they tend to branch through employment forms involving the exclusion of non-aligned, taking hold in the various ecclesiastical structures that vary by individual parishes to the diocesan curia until the offices of the Holy See, to follow orders and religious congregations, male and female within which, on the lessons from documentation provided to me, They tend to put their young followers, purpose of which is growing in numbers to approve of her entire religious communities or transforming them from snaturandole. Among the documents provided by the Vatican prelates I quote only one dating back to 1992: the General Council of a congregation, This perceived risk, He imposed religious to choose between the charism of their founder and belonging to this lay association that was taking place inside of of their communities. I entered the religious congregation of pulse or indication of the founders of this lay aggregation, as soon as he was made to understand that never it would be allowed to alter and transform the internal structure, enabled to choose between this and lay religious congregation aggregation, They chose the first, and did not hesitate to leave the religious congregation.

.

I am pleased to have been persuaded to provide these explanations, because then it was given opportunity to put this politely hope: I hope no clergyman, the violet and purple, try tomorrow to claim that the Holy See had not been advised well and on time by the most competent specialists in various fields of scientific knowledge. Also for this, considering my age, I left all the documentation in the original copy to my good friend Father Ariel, and together with my that of other specialists, like me who they were interviewed at the time by some prelates who required our advice informing us that they were acting in the name and on behalf of St. John Paul II.

THE MOST TERRIBLE AND DIFFICULT CANCER TO HEAL ARE THE DISEASES THAT PREVENT US FROM BEING WITNESSES OF CHRIST

[ IIIª REFLECTION: Lack of forgiveness ]

.

Let's start with a trivial finding: because we feel resentment and fail to forgive? Simply because we internally relive the evil that has been done to us, mulling it over in our hearts. The memory of the offense caused - in this case - no longer works to reach a resolution but works to reiterate the offense, which over time becomes chronic and remains calcified as an obsession in our soul.

the cartoons of Gioba [John Berti, Veronese presbyter] original in gioba.it WHO

The third pathology spiritual which I will discuss is related to the tendency not to grant forgiveness easily, and it is very widespread. It does not spare the lay faithful like consecrated persons. Like this, as a priest dedicated to the ministry of confessor,I often find myself probing this aspect within the life of penitents who approach the precious sacrament of reconciliation.

.

I assist like this most of the time to a kind of spiritual schizophrenia, indeed, if on the one hand one wants to obtain God's forgiveness at any cost - given the proliferation of trends merciful - this desire, however, does not correspond to an equally desired grant of forgiveness towards others. The search for forgiveness and the rigidity in granting it certainly constitutes a paradox in the life of many men and women who live the faith..

.

As a confessor, I must admit that the most painful reality consists in taking note of how the lack of forgiveness is hardly perceived as a sin to confess, and sometimes it is not even understood as condition not which conforms to the image of Christ [cf. 1PT 2,23]. Every day reciting the prayer of the Our Father, we are faced with a clause of ascetic perfection that asks God to remit our shortcomings, to the extent that we make ourselves bearers of forgiveness towards those who have offended us. So let's try to be careful about what we ask in prayer, in fact, God takes seriously these words which are not of man but of Christ, this is what the version of the Our Father in the Gospel of St. Matthew that says so teaches us: "Forgive us our debts, as we also remit them to our debtors " [cf. Mt 6,12], that of the Gospel of Saint Luke instead: "Forgive us our sins, in fact we too forgive all our debtors " [cf. Lk 11,4]. The differences are minimal, but the substance does not change: the Christian is recognized by how he forgives, that is, by the way in which he exercises his own justice not according to the logic of the world but according to the logic of the Gospel [cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church n. 2838; Compendium n. 594].

.

The Our Father has always been a problematic prayer - this was the case for Sant’Agostino - but this problematic nature is not synonymous with the impossibility of achieving what he asks, if anything, of resistance to grace, that is, an indication of a sick human heart.

.

There are so many people who say: "I don't forgive" or "I forgive but I don't forget". They are sentences extrapolated from their context and from the emotional charge with which they are pronounced, but which really contain a profound truth. And with this reflection of mine I want to try to answer precisely these two objections.

.

I. DIO FORGIVES, NOT ME: A GOAL THAT EXCEEDS L'MAN.

.

That man was a disaster in forgiving the Blessed Apostle Peter understood this well [cf. Mt 18,21-22], when turning to Jesus he asks how many times it is lawful to forgive one's offender. Peter questions Jesus about the legitimacy of a moral act foreseen by the law, but the master responds by overturning the figure of Lamec's revenge in the positive [cf. GN 4,23-24]: “I don't tell you up to seven times, but seventy times seven ". With this unsettling answer, Jesus - bearing in mind all the symbolic value of the numbers seven and seventy - wants to make Peter understand that forgiveness is not a moral act that touches on legal obligation but on grace. The next parable of the merciless servant, illustrates very well the overrun problem and the correct hermeneutics of the thought of Jesus expressed to Peter [cf. Mt 18,23-35].

.

Forgiveness taught by Christ to the disciples reaches its summit on Calvary and lives on the mystique of the encounter with the Father, author of grace and therefore of pardon [cf. LC 23,34]. Forgiveness means returning to God, allow him to make us new. The holy King David, aware of this need for conversion and renewal in the spirit that directs towards forgiveness, in the Miserere he becomes the bearer of a precise request «Create in me, hate, a pure heart renews a steadfast spirit in me " [cf. Shall 51,12].

.

The use of conversion, necessary to be docile to grace and to soften the heart, it allows us to be forgiven and to forgive in turn. He who forgives, indeed, he is pardoned and is aware of having to live in a perennial desire for conversion. A generous will with a Pelagian flavor is not enough to fully implement forgiveness. Daily experience teaches that, in most cases, I can try to isolate the offender and the offender, perhaps even groped to forget, but that still does not mean forgiving.

.

I usually say to penitents that to forgive is to have, towards those who have offended us, the same gaze that God the Father has towards us when we kneel before the priest confessor. It means having the authentic experience of Luke's Merciful Father [cf. LC 15,11-32], who grants forgiveness, seen almost as impossible by the younger son, without dwelling on the reasons for the return and without the constraint of a stable return to the paternal home. This is precisely the correct way to exercise Christian forgiveness, so much so as to strengthen the credibility of our faith and of the proposal that Jesus makes to every disciple [cf. (C). Theobald, Christianity as a style. A way of doing theology in postmodernity, I-II, Bologna, EDB, 2009]. I can only share, at this point, the excellent thought of Alessio Rocchi, when it states that:

.

“Having a guts of mercy does not mean being spineless, but rather have an extra strength (or of grace, ed). In this sense, forgiveness is redemption, not negation or reduction of evil but his own revision. It is no miracle, no effortless action performed by a mighty magician or an almighty god, but a severe test of earthly existence, through looks that (King)they fit into a relationship, by words that (King)integrate into a story " [cf. A. Rocchi, The time of forgiveness, Aporias of forgiveness between philosophy and theology, p. 97, Just - Studies and research, 2015].

.

Precisely because forgiveness is a redemptive moment which leads back to an intimate and new relationship, it is a theological place where it is possible to experience the newness promised by God through the mouth of the prophet Isaiah [cf. Is 43,19]; that is to see the birth of a road in the desert in which it is possible to follow new situations, and in which man can move in full communion with the Father without the fear of feeling vulnerable or naked [cf. GN 3,11].

.

Forgiveness means building new ways, therefore the relationship that is created between the offender and the offender has nothing to do with the relationship preceding the wrong, but it is a transfigured relationship in which God reveals himself. By studying the dynamics of forgiveness to which God invites man, we are thus led back to the reflection on the eschatological dynamics of life beyond life.

.

In my ministry as a hospital chaplain it is common practice to assist the dying and their families. The most painful knot that the dying patient has to cut before the definitive leave is that of granting forgiveness or accepting forgiveness. A similar test must also be faced by the patient's family. Leaving aside here, the reasons and causes for the debts to be forgiven before death, it is necessary to dwell on the need that the dying person has to die reconciled. Reconciled with God and therefore reconciled with the brothers he has offended or who have been a cause of suffering for him.

.

The episode of the Good Thief dictates our in-depth analysis. The Gospels testify how Jesus was crucified between two thieves [cf. MC 15,27]: we know how the Greek term λήστοι [history] identify a political criminal - today we will say a terrorist - rather than a thief or a general criminal. The situation that arises on Calvary in the eyes of the Romans is clear: the execution of two political prisoners together with Jesus seen as a troublemaker and subversion of the people of Israel. But here we are in the midst of agony, one of these enemies of Rome, now nearing the end, he turns to Jesus and - recognizing him as the Lord and at the same time in need of conversion and reconciliation for a life of crime, hatred and grudges - he exclaims: "Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom " [cf. LC 23,42].

.

These words that allow us to understand how

.

«Forgiveness is - once again - both requested and offered. To read and reread them they sound like three graces. Thank you, of I ask thank you, I ask your forgiveness because my life hasn't been that great. Thank you, of I do thank you, I forgive you for your impotence, for your not coming down from the cross, for your don't let me go down with you. I thank you and accept you for who you are, putting aside my disappointment with you. I grant you the grace not to ask you for a miracle, not to swear - and I would have many reasons - about mine and your fate. This crucified evildoer asks to be forgiven through the question of a memory, it seems forgive through the recognition of one's punishment, decide to to forgive silencing their legitimate curses and silencing the miraculous claims of the condemned comrade " [cf. A. Rocchi, The time of forgiveness, Aporias of forgiveness between philosophy and theology, p. 95, Just - Studies and research, 2015].

.

The dialogue of the repentant thief with Jesus it is placed on the horizon of life that never sets, of a very clear eschatological hope, we all need. The desire that this condemned man has to live is very evident, and it is equally evident in him the awareness that dying without asking and granting forgiveness, it affects the future life with the aggravating circumstance of the conclusion of an earthly life in an unnecessary tragedy. The only hope not to die eternally - in oblivion, among the ghosts of a personal story that speaks of violence, destruction and hatred - is the blessing that comes with forgiveness. Although death poses as a lady - as the singer-songwriter Branduardi recalls in one of his famous ballads [cf. video WHO] - forgiveness before farewell wins over death, and it can already be a deposit of eternity, redemption of a ruined existence, guarantee of healing towards oneself and towards others. Moreover, it would be paradoxical for the Christian to begin his new life in Paradise with various slopes following it. A full life [cf. GV 10,10] it is synonymous with a fully reconciled life, a half-life is on the contrary the expression of a slowdown that deprives us of communion with God and with our brothers, a friction that will have to be recomposed or atoned in some other way.

.

(II). GOOD MEMORY TO FORGIVE

.

We are sincere, after receiving an offense it's hard to put a stone on it. Many would like to put a stone on the offender, but this is not civilly and Christianly acceptable. Then there are people who invite us to forget and pretend nothing has happened. They end up being inopportune comforters like the three friends of wise Job [cf. Gb 3,ss], and they do us no good service. For this reason - as mentioned earlier - we need God's grace along with a constant and explicit prayer request, so that the Lord heals our wound and gives us the time necessary to be converted to forgiveness. But achieving forgiveness includes the ability to have a good memory, in fact, completely forgetting the offense - an unlikely option - would deprive us of the possibility of granting forgiveness and therefore of achieving peace and that blessing which is a guarantee for a new beginning of life.

.

Let's start with a trivial finding: because we feel resentment and fail to forgive? Simply because we internally relive the evil that has been done to us, mulling it over in our hearts. The memory of the offense caused - in this case - no longer works to reach a resolution but works to reiterate the offense, which over time becomes chronic and remains calcified as an obsession in our soul.

.

One of the symptoms of those who do not experience forgiveness it is the feeling of having a weight in the heart, and that feeling often carries on for years. The philosopher Paul Ricoeur said:

.

"Authentic forgiveness does not imply the oblivion of the events themselves, but a different way of signifying a debt […] which paralyzes the memory and consequently the ability to recreate ourselves in a new future " [cf. R. Kearney M. Dooley, Issues of ethics: contemporary debates in philosophers, Armando Publishers, 2005, p. 40; to complete the thought cf. also P. Ricoeur, To remember, forget, to forgive. The enigma of the past, The Mill, Bologna 2004].

.

This fixation of memory on the offense it is deleterious, when memory needs to concentrate on the offense it is only to initiate a liberation process that you condone, piece by piece, the wrong suffered.

.

Sometimes, to overcome the obsession together with the anxiety of forgiveness not granted, there is a tendency to replace resentment with indifference, but this is a false remedy. The medicine of "the eye does not see, heart doesn't hurt ", not only is it not Christian but it becomes a subtle and terrible way to lead the brother to death by exiling him from his own existence.

.

The set of processes just described they help us understand the sentence as a whole: "I can't forgive!». Really the person is unable to forgive, because this offense has hardened, sclerotizzata, traditional medicines are no longer enough but surgery is urgent. The urgent intervention consists in associating memory with the presence of God. A word that recurs a lot in the Old Testament is "remember", the verb that connects directly to people's memory, of things and events. But for the biblical hagiographer, remembering translates into memorial. Simply said, the memorial is remembering together with God.

.

Remember those situations and of those events in which God revealed himself - and still reveals himself - in his power, enough to work wonders for the benefit of man. The memorial is therefore more than just a memory, it is remembering through faith, restore a well-defined theological identity, who sees in God the redeemer and in man a creature to be redeemed and redeemed.

.

To forgive as a Christian I have to memorialize, that is, remembering together with God, see clearly the offenses and wounds, so that a providential gaze is formed within which the Spirit of God - living memory of the Church [cf. GV 15,26] - work so that every offense and wound is translated into an occasion for praise. As a memorial, I see the person who hurt me, the positives, the good intentions realized, the shipwrecked good intentions, the inevitable contradictions and inconsistencies. I can see in the offender no longer an enemy to fight but a person in need of help because he too is wounded and thirsty for redemption. In the memorial I also perceive my responsibilities well, I take the awareness that perhaps I have facilitated certain behaviors in the other and reduce the tendency to see myself as a scapegoat.

.

The memorial is an examination of conscience with which, as for Abraham, God allows me to become an intercessor towards those who have made themselves hostile [cf. GN 18,20-32], without closing one's eyes to the evil inflicted and received and with the tendency to make God's merciful justice triumph.

From Sodom to Spinello up the spiritual exercises to the Roman Curia, while in the world of the unreal no one realizes that the monastic life is dead and what remains is a parody: "You call them if you want, emotions"

- ecclesial news -

FROM THE SODOM SPINELLO UP TO RETREAT TO THE ROMAN CURIA, WHILE NO ONE IN THE WORLD IS unreal MAKES STATEMENT THAT LIFE MONASTIC IS DEAD AND THAT THAT REMAINS IS A PARODY: "You call them IF YOU WANT, EMOTIONS "

The preacher Abbot will speak to the Roman Curia about the dreamer Giorgio La Pira and the poet Mario Luzi, as if it was a dream spirituality and theology poetry, as if the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II, loudly proclaimed a saint had never written the encyclical Faith and Reason, the base of which there is the thought of a great Benedictine Abbot, then Archbishop of Canterbury, Sant'Anselmo d'Aosta, who did not live the relationship with faith in dreams and poetry, but explaining that faith seeking understanding [faith requires reason] and in need: «I believe in order to understand, I understand that you can trust» [I think to understand, I understand to believe]. Unfortunately the famous Italian singer Lucio Battisti has been dead for years, otherwise, for the next retreat, perhaps Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi would have proposed the thoughtful lyrics of his famous song Emotions …

Next the Council of Trent who attempted to curb the drifts of the clergy, Many abbeys poured in disastrous moral conditions. Recently he's talked in an essay dedicated to religious life [cf. WHO]. The state of men's abbeys, towards the end of the fifteenth century it was not unlike that of many female monasteries bleak, especially in those with rich heritages.

The Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, 14th century, erected in the Crete Senesi area

One example among many: in the architecture of many historic abbeys we can observe the standing buildings, detached from the monastery at least a hundred meters. If we ask the monks who continue to live in those abbeys and monasteries - because many of these facilities are no longer abbeys and monasteries, others are not inhabited by monks -, the answers that we shall receive will be varied, and equally disparate will not be the real answer, because often the truth burns, especially it can be really unedifying.

the ancient bachelor pad abbots more or less renaissance

Since we will speak of the frescoes of the cloister Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, erected in the fourteenth century in the countryside of the Crete Senesi, as an example we will take one of these stable detached from the monastery and today referred to as entrance door. Nothing to say that architectural styles change in the course of the centuries, but that function had a detached tower of the abbey and not visible from the abbey, which it is spread over four levels and incorporates a structure that, starting from the ground floor is dominated by two upper levels, all on an area of ​​over one thousand square meters? Do we have to believe that this gift of God architecture was really created only as a gateway to the abbey, or perhaps as a fortress? But a fort that would be if there were solid and high walls, that in that property, however, never existed, so?

So the structure was the residence of some revelers abbots, become such good offices of powerful families or for questions related to specific political arrangements, that being accustomed to lead monastic lifestyle at all, in those places they had their own small courts, They were devoted to hunting, at parties and so on. Then sometimes down in the monastery, necessary to fulfill their offices.

the ancient garçonnière of the more or less Renaissance abbots

The era the late fifteenth century He marked a doctrinal crisis, morality and customs preceded about three centuries earlier by an equally unfortunate epoch, when in the thirteenth century, Pope Eugenius III called for the Fourth Lateran Council that enacted strict rules against the immorality of the clergy and religious. It was in this jolly Renaissance that comes from Vercelli at the rich and powerful Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore a gay character: Giovanni Antonio Bazzi said Sodom [1477-1549].

About Sodom, subsequent historiography penned by religious pious attempt to clarify how mischievous connect the nickname by which the famous artist went to art history with those who would be his homosexual tastes. He even tried to resort to a pathetic sophistry arguing that the nickname Sodom It had nothing to do with the practice of sodomy but was linked to an expression that the artist in his local dialect used to say 'his, 'nduma», meaning "to go". Unlike what later tried to say critics pious to save the honor of not Bazzi, but that of the monastic structures that this bugger if contending with each other, the famous painter and architect Giorgio Vasari from Arezzo [1511-1574], who was his contemporary and connoisseur of his deeds, states that the source of such a nickname derived from his own homosexuality. The precise than that of Vasari Sodom It was also a hidden homosexuality at all, quite the opposite: He was performed in ostentatious and brazen way.

Cloister of the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, Giovanni Antonio Bazzi known as Il Sodoma: Christ bound to the column for the scourging

Giovanni Antonio Bazzi said Sodom he married in his youth, but very soon he separated from his wife. Who knows if even in this regard some pious art critic - convinced that no one knows canon law and the discipline of the sacraments -, It can say that this separation was due to pure temperamental incompatibility. As if the end of the fifteenth separation from his wife and cut and run what would be more obvious could happen?

The Gay search for beauty which in this artist transcends nell'omoerotico, It is a feature of the painting Sodom, suffice to analyze the really striking figure of Christ tied to the column located in a corner of the central cloister Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore before the internal entrance door to the Abbey cathedral. Picture this sufficient to assess whether Christ bound to the column can look so sexy boy by winking. But for divine charity, you look carefully air and shameless position of the Christ at the Column portrait Sodom: there may remember certain images of the famous film Midnight Cowboy, with the then young Jon Voight in the provincial role Texan who arrived in New York full of dreams he ends up leaning against a street pole to hustle?

the historic poster of the famous film The Man on the Sidewalk, with the young Jon Voight leaning against the pole in the role of the hustler

Sodom, in that place of apparent quiet, as well as even more apparent religiosity, Perhaps the sign left him not only in the frescoes, but also in the air, and through the centuries! Indeed, the beautiful nature that surrounds equally stunning that abbey with all the architectural and artistic works of art, including homoerotic paintings, suppliscono for centuries the poor lack of religiosity; this thing that I do not say, because to prove it is the story. It would be enough just ask yourself this question: from the 1313 to date, how many monks of the Benedictine Congregation Olivetan that in the following seven hundred years of life we ​​have been beatified and canonized? Note that this Congregation, albeit reached between the end of the fifteenth and the end of the seventeenth century to count up to 1200 Monks distributed in several tens of Italian monasteries, seven centuries of existence has given the Church a unique blessed, its founder Maria Bernardo Tolomei [Siena 1272 — †Siena 1348], beatified three centuries after his death. Then, elapsed 661 year old, Blessed Bernardo Tolomei Maria was eventually canonized 20 August 2009.

Cloister of the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore: self-portrait by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi said

Concerning the canonization of Maria Bernardo Tolomei would be interesting to see how the distinguished biographer Belgian Benedictine Dom Réginald Grégoire [1935 — †2013], postulator of the cause, has finally retrieved documents to carry on this historical cause at the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, if it considers that for centuries has been complained precisely the impossibility of proceeding with a process of canonization for the lack of necessary historical documentation, which it seems to have finally compensated for the hagiography (!?). However, since this congregation with a rich heritage and being counted among the great Tuscan companies that possess the largest land plots, it may be that he had the means to finally find the historiography which for centuries did not exist?

particularly large fresco

Di Maria Bernardo Tolomei There were perhaps handed memorable sermons and wonderful spiritual lessons to its monks or as many of his lyrics lofty theological stature? To be honest, the collection of his letters [cf. WHO] more than the spiritual have the flavor of the writings of an administrator who organizes, directs, issuing directives and requires a papal legates and bishops concessions and privileges to their monasteries. As for the texts on his life, from one of the oldest [cf. WHO], they are an obvious jumble of ordinary gold legends with whom they were infiorettate the middle of the seventeenth century the lives of Saints or the candidates for canonization, all through precise and repetitive styles, thanks to writers who often gathered together episodes, visions and tests virtue that emerged as such in the lives of dozens of other saints or candidates for canonization. And even working in hagiography hagiography but apografia in apografia, the distinguished Belgian Benedictine biographer has finally changed over the centuries in a stratified apografie Position on life, virtues and reputation of holiness. So today, narrate the holy deeds of Bernardo Maria Tolomei, of which there are no written and original works but only posthumous biographies, It is like telling the struggle of St George and the dragon, canonizing finally biographers and hagiographers. That said it is good to clarify, to those to whom it was not clear if necessary, that the speeches have just made they do not rely on more or less stringent opinions or even ungenerous, but strictly on scientific data and not easy to disprove.

Cloister of the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore: self-portrait by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi known as Il Sodoma

By way of historical inquiry, we want to check how many blesseds and saints were instead donated, including also some Doctors of the Church, from other religious congregations, in a life span far below the Congregation of Benedictine monks Olivetani? Can a monastic congregation not donate to the Church and Blessed Saints in seven hundred years? Yup, it's possible, As a gay character like Giovanni Antonio Bazzi said Sodom He does not just leave their mark only of ancient frescoes, but also in the air that permeates the walls, from the entrance building that was the bachelor pad connoisseurs of Renaissance abbots until the stable monastic populated by several other monks no less revelers. If the saying is true that "the barrel the wine that ', shortages blessed, santi, mystical and spiritual fathers, however, it was compensated with other talents, from that of Dom Francis Ringhieri [1721-1787], devoted to theatrical works in the Baroque era and defined by critics as "More heretical than any other tragedy friar in that century" [can be consulted WHO, WHO, WHO].

Speaking on asset plan: no Abbot of Monte Oliveto Maggiore has never had problems accommodating between those rich spiritual walls of an aesthetic but often empty Anima Christi, a large army of children of Sodom roughly similar to the poor sensual and winking Christ tied to the column. But when the abbot Dom Maurizio Maria Outlines [1986-1992], previously already economer general of the congregation, nell'avallo he was involved in financial transactions which led to the loss of several billion old lire, the children of Sodom They did not hesitate to remove him, because you can defer the morale of flickering monks tied to the column, but on the money deposited with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena can not however compromise. Everything although a Abate remain in office until 75 years of age, though re-elected by the general chapter every six years. A document everything is cronotassi of the abbots of the twentieth century, that until 1970 They remained in office for life, only from the successor of Dom Romualdo Maria Zilianti [1928-1946], with his successor Dom Angelo Maria Sabatini [1970-1986] takes over the practice of giving up the chair at the abbey they are 75 years of age.

If today we can call ourselves Christians we owe it to the children of St. Benedict of Norcia through monasticism have first saved, then spread Christianity in the West. The same lemma Europe, of which St. Benedict is the patron, It was born as an idea and concept in the great Benedictine abbeys circuit, because they were the sons of St. Benedict in creating Europe. And if today we can read and study Greek philosophy, Latin classical literature or know the works of the great Fathers of the Church, if we have so many secular works from the contents anything but Christians, Gaius Valerius Catullus, including, we owe it to the Benedictine monks, born children of St. Benedict, and then it is reduced centuries after the children of Sodom.

To those who have always nurtured great veneration historical and theological towards the Benedictine Order, heart-wrenching to see today reduced monasticism in a similar decline. Unfortunately in this world in which even the most scandalous news today are born to die tomorrow and make room for other scandals, I fear that few have realized that to Montecassino, mother of all Western abbeys, gangrenous a homosexual in their unbridled vices has decreed the death of monasticism; and today, what's left, It is an empty shell, fact of historical abbeys - those that today have survived - rich in works of art and beautiful scenery,, but empty of the substance of the faith and of that glorious monasticism from the sixth century faith saved her and then spread. In short: attention to be seduced by the historical frames of the beautiful and the aesthetic that, however, conceals the emptiness of the spirit and of the Christian virtues, because the Devil, in addition to having extraordinary aesthetic sense, wonderfully sung in Gregorian chant and “celebrates pontifical abbey” with great stylish exterior, He is having trained at the monastic life by jumping from a “another particular friendship”. And today, all the “special friends” of yesterday, are abbots in the various abbeys, not to mention the monks that “special friendships” they sealed them with their vow in the monastic chapters and in the general chapter, ie how much it would be enough to pray God's mercy throughout their lives so that it can preserve them from Hellfire.

Cloister of the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore: self-portrait by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi known as Il Sodoma.

The funeral march on monasticism, after so many scandals in the abbeys and monasteries of Europe has finally played Dom Pietro Vittorelli, 191Th successor of St. Benedict of Norcia, who delighted to lead a life of luxury around Europe, to stay in expensive hotels and pay a high price the company of young gay with Abbey money [cf. WHO, WHO, WHO, etc …]. To this is then also added the use of drugs, for which has had consequent health problems cost the Abbey of Montecassino very high amounts when for a period of time the Abbot took refuge in a Swiss clinic to detox and to try to cure his cocaine addiction. The most tragic thing though is that he was not subjected to canonical penalties and has not been dismissed from the clerical state, so as to be still in the cronotassi Arciabati of Monte Cassino and in the yearbooks of the Italian Episcopal Conference as "Abbot Emeritus Professor ' [cf. WHO] rather than as "destitute".

the homoerotic figures for nothing hidden in painting “sacred” by Giovanni Bazzi known as Sodoma

(C)On the abbot of Montecassino the funeral march of monasticism has only come to an end, because the execution was carried out previously with moral scandals scattered abbeys spread across Europe. Of course, other cases it was able to treat them with confidentiality, from the Abbey of St. Paul Outside the Walls, Finally, the private status territorial prelature, to follow with the Abbey of Grottaferrata, where he was deposed Abbot Dom Emiliano maker, even in that case this happened especially for the nocturnal comings and goings of the inevitable paid young men who went to amuse some vicious monks, so much so that the Holy See - a rare thing indeed - proceeded to declare invalid certain priestly ordinations of young monks. We could follow with the St. Anselm Pontifical Athenaeum, academic structure of the Benedictine Confederation, to which Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski several times, Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education [1999-2015], between 2007 and the 2008 intimated that if not cleaned up their internal college from various pleasantries and numerous fact coppiette, the Holy See would have shut him. To limit ourselves only ever scope Roman: what happened to the Cistercian Abbey of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, where he was elected abbot a former Milanese designer, also very gay, He rose from the fashion world to monasticism and become in a few years monaco, a priest and then abbot aesthetic? but yet, near the Aventine Hill, It is the General Curia of the Cistercian Monks, where a decade ago, at the time of certain facts, He lays the Abbot General Dom Mauro Esteva i Alsina [1933 — †2014], the concern of which was to impart obsessive etiquette lessons to young monks and verify that the dining hall was set with forks and knives positioned at the right distance to the right and left of the plate, or that the bows were made according to the proper angle, as if they had depended survival and the historic honor of the Cistercian Order. May today this man rest in peace in the crypt of the Abbey of Poblet Catalan and may the mercy of God forgive him with a mild purgatory all serious and irreparable damage to him went the entire Cistercian Order during its general mandate carried out between 1995 and the 2010.

To retreat at the Roman Curia this year a member of the Congregation of Olivetan Benedictine Monks was chosen by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi and presented to the Pope, Dom Bernardo Gianni, Abbot of the Abbey of San Miniato al Monte in Florence. If nell'Archicenobio of Monte Oliveto Maggiore stands Sodom, San Miniato the most valuable frescoes are those of Spinello Aretino. The substance, however, remains the same, while ranging from the art of Sodom to that of the Spinel. And this - the Joint -, It would be particularly appreciated dall'Arciabate Montecassino Dom Pietro Vittorelli, that the drug was a great expert and consumer.

The abbot of the Abbey of San Miniato in Florence He is one who can speak to this world. He speaks to the world language that appeals to the world. Indeed, the spiritual exercises, They will be marked on dreams and poetry: the dream of political Giorgio La Pira and the poetry of Mario Luzi, whose poetry, Christian speaking, it is certainly not that of the writer and

the homoerotic figures for nothing hidden in painting “sacred” by Giovanni Bazzi known as Sodoma

The abbot preacher, son of the noble Order of St. Benedict which we owe the survival of Christianity and the preservation of historical heritage, philosophical and literary, He will speak to the Roman Curia of a dreamer and a poet, as if it was a dream spirituality and theology poetry, as if the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II, loudly proclaimed saint, had never written the Encyclical Faith and Reason, the base of which there is the thought of a great Benedictine Abbot, then Archbishop of Canterbury, Sant'Anselmo d'Aosta, who did not live the relationship with faith in dreams and poetry, but explaining that faith seeking understanding [faith requires reason] and in need: «I believe in order to understand, I understand that you can trust» [I think to understand, I understand to believe]. Unfortunately the famous Italian singer Lucio Battisti has been dead for years, otherwise, for the next retreat, perhaps Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi would have proposed the thoughtful lyrics of his famous song Emotions :

particular: ephebus winking that shows the rear

“And close your eyes to stop
something that's inside me
but in your mind it is not
You cannot understand
you call them if you want
emotions " [Mogol-Battisti, 1970]

We know that after the tragedy comes the increasingly grotesque farce precisely that ranges between Sodom and Spinello. All the more reason to pray and to cleanse us during this Holy Lent, in the course of which, the largest of the mortifications, It remains the awareness of not being credible in the world, but instead of being laughed at by the world, especially when the world to please try to speak the language of the world, after having emptied of Christ and of the mystery of the Cross, to fill us with dreams and poems … "you call them if you want emotions".

Cloister of the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore: Sodom's insistent obsession with depicting the male posterior which “if offer” and in which we read the prophecy about the posthumous decadent monasticism …

One thing is certain: art leaves no sign simply on the walls, especially if certain pictorial images are the most realistic representation of who certain walls inhabits. Obviously, the question as to why seven hundred years of life the monks of the Benedictine Congregation Olivetan have given the Church blessed, santi, mystics, theology, doctors and spirituality fathers, It is a purely rhetorical question, the answer is in fact all contained in homoerotic images that stand in the frescoes realized by Sodom in the cloister; and the cloister is reached after entering the abbey territory passing through the building once used as bachelor pad abbots Renaissance revelers. In Paradise, instead, it comes only after converting, repented and cleansed of sins, no one comes or with Giorgio La Pira dreams, nor with poems by Mario Luzi. Lent begins with the imposition of ashes followed by the admonition "converted and believe in the Gospel", it does not begin with an invitation to believe in dreams and live poems
