IF THE RESERVOIR homosexuality HAS EVEN THE BOARD OF BISHOPS, INSTEAD OF WRITING LETTERS TO THE HOLY PEOPLE OF GOD he SHOULD BE STUCK ON THE MOTHER CHURCH OF ROME: "TOTAL CLEARANCE FOR BANKRUPTCY!».

.

In his Letter to the Holy People of God the Supreme Pontiff Francis I it looks good from clarifying that cases of widespread pedophilia among the clergy, each of which is intended to create devastating media effects, as well as damage to the victim atrocious, are real cases and found, but rare, because most of those listed as cases of pedophilia, in truth they are only cases of ephebophilia, ie routine practice of homosexuality by priests exercising that pure, simple, beautiful and protected exercise homosexual sexuality recognized as a genuine right from the Law itself.

demand respect and rights insulting way in debunking Christianity and its most sacred symbols is now costume LGBT lobby. In the picture: Gay Pride From Rome, He started from the square outside the Cathedral of St. John Lateran episcopal see of the Bishop of Rome, and finally arrived at the Republic Square, formerly Piazza Exedra, where the ancient basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and Martyrs, built on the ancient baths of Diocletian in memory of the martyrs killed in hatred of the faith during the persecutions of the third century [watch movies WHO e WHO]

Someone may have noticed that the clergy have a homosexual problem now escaped out of control? I forgive me if I repeat myself returning to state, a few days later, this situation I had predicted in detail ten years ago in a number of published texts and always paid a high price [cf. WHO]. Especially precise feel no satisfaction in reiterating this, place when I pointed out certain problems and did some analysis, I wished that time would give me wrong, certainly not reason.

.

A decade ago, before the very serious problem today, albeit not yet exploded with today's scope, only two priests treated the problem in Europe: one in Poland and one in Italy. The Polish priest is Darius Oko, the Italian Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo. Several important was then the scientific work of Polish director Andrzej Kobyliński priest who has made a very valuable contribution to the analysis of the problem [cf. see one of his scientific works WHO].

.

The Father and I Darius Oko we have traded in the past many opinions on the subject, agree among ourselves on a specific point: the problem of this "gay lobby influences the Church" [cf. His interview 2013 WHO] and inside it has made a "coup homosexual» [cf. My interview 2013 WHO], It would become an irreversible problem when this universal nubifrossing He had touched its peak sweeping the College of Bishops.

.

Unnecessarily years it laid stress: the bishops that villain so promote and protect gay priests, They are a dangerous scourge, but when gay priests become bishops, we will be faced with a catastrophic disaster before which two forces will help us to raise ourselves from such desolation, albeit with the use of a long time and much effort: the Holy Spirit and the Holy People of God [cf. WHO].

.

My numerous writings pubbicati his The Island of Patmos testify that many times, talking of the Petrine ministry and the reigning Pontiff explained, and I have repeatedly stated:

.

"That poor imprudent man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, that of all the previous decades of damage done is only the first victim, or as I wrote in the recent past using an allegorical [cf. WHO]: 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 [cf. WHO]».

.

This My concept, It was allegedly taken by my dear friend Andrea Tornielli in his last press articles about the agency Vatican Insider, which rightly draws between its rows the fact that certain problems do not arise under this pontificate [cf. WHO, WHO, WHO]. So far, all of us with rational minds tending more to the logical that all'umorale, We fully agree. What is known, however, in the articles of my dear friend, I have often successfully defended when it came under sniper fire for merely exercising their right to report [cf. WHO], or when someone has released the first statement and then if you rimangiate [cf. WHO], is that he does not seem to pose the question of whether the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, in their government, he made mistakes, or whether it is burdened with defects and limitatezze that characterize all our imperfect humanity marked by corruption of original sin. Of human imperfections, defects and limitatezze was burdened even the Pope Gregory I, universally known as St. Gregory the Great, that perhaps the doctrinal quality, pastoral and government had one or two more of the Pope Francis I, but it is clear: only one or two, anything that!

.

It is so true - and I for the first as I have said and repeatedly repeated - that the Supreme Pontiff Francis I can not pay the very high bill of a doctrinal crisis which has finally generated a great moral crisis in the clergy [cf. My article on Theologica, WHO], because this crisis begins to take shape in the sixties and spreads dramatically since the early seventies of the twentieth century. In those years the reigning Supreme Pontiff had not yet been consecrated priest, because his ordination took place in Argentina at the end of 1969, to be exact 13 December.

.

The man Jorge Mario Bergoglio It has its serious responsibilities, then if these objective responsibility does not want to see, then you run the serious risk of falling into one of the worst quirks of our politicians, that after carrying out the campaign promises made by skimming the scripts of science fiction movies, once elected and catapulted into real problems and especially difficult in the country solution, They begin to defend themselves by saying that it's all because of previous governments. Therefore, if on one hand I think the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio are due responsibilities of several poor choices made by its Supreme Predecessors, Blessed Saints and Popes included, they, for its part, which however has not yet been either beatified or canonized, lying in front of certain serious problems not easily solved put us in a lot of his, for example in imprudent spirit, throwing arm with speeches on slippery topics, making poor choices and resorting to ambiguous expressions in which it is difficult to grasp the spirit of the involuntary good faith, especially when these ambiguities are then generated in the visible Church quarrels and divisions as they had never before seen. And although repeatedly begged by cardinals, bishops, priests and lay faithful to offer words of clarification [cf. WHO], He has refused to respond with a spirit that denotes touchiness and haughtiness. But, soon after, sported media humility by washing and kissing your feet Mass of the Lord's Supper the Muslim's prostitute, to the delight of journalists ultra secularists and the loss of us astonished priests in that holy day we celebrate the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the ministerial priesthood, We not celebrate the World Day of the fugitive or the redemption of prostitutes [cf. WHO].

.

It is true that the captain of a ship He must rely on sailors who have at their disposal, but it is also true that man Jorge Mario Bergoglio seems that most of the wrong men, often went hunting almost. And the thing that hurts is that the reigning Pontiff, paying no heed to many prelates of great experience in service to the Holy See even decades, He has persistently repeatedly to approve episcopal appointments of persons who had been repeatedly excluded from the so-called backhoe burdened because of large doctrinal and moral issues, led into this by people who enjoy his confidence and so he followed to say the least dangerous to keep around. In other words, or better understood, it comes to that issue that I have called court of miracles [cf. WHO, WHO] and that the Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller has called instead magic circle:

.

"I have the impression that the Pope's magic circle there are those who bother to spy on suspected opponents, thereby preventing an open discussion and balanced. Sort all Catholics in the categories of "friend" or "enemy" of the Pope, It is the most serious damage they cause to the Church " [cf. WHO].

.

That's why in 2015 I began with two articles in which I stated sadly ironic title since what was the heart of the dramatic problem: "Bishops, fashions and advice for new careerists: be poor, peripheral existential and sloppy " [cf. WHO], "They're buggerando the Holy Father: We protect Peter! The worst ocelots are coming in pauperism episcopate glory " [cf. WHO].

.

Like it or not like it, but if the facts are incontrovertible unfortunately not only the fatuous vague and debatable opinions, in those three years of my articles there is the picture of what might be called the episcopate bergogliano. Then I will provide some examples to explain without going into details, but the premise that if the Ecclesiastical Authority summon me to give you their names and surnames of the persons in question, although unnecessarily, because they know very well both individuals and above all their deeds. And the examples are these: in Italy I have become bishops, two priests in their fifties who were a happy fact coppietta, that note and recognized since the time of the seminar, and today, on their mouths, unfortunately used for anything but to pray, It is all and only a constant hive of poor, poverty, refugees, existential suburbs and so on. He became bishop a person to whom the youngsters who at the time if the were with him when he was a young priest, Today delight in telling about his tastes from passive gay submissive to dominant male. He became bishop, afterward he awarded the dignity of cardinal, a subject that has covered and protected for years the most filthy crap priests who frequented marchettari a fee and they imboscavano in gay saunas. He became bishop a priest from which an entire presbytery remember exactly which and how many other seminarians, then with what and how many young priests below if he made her, so that his diocesan ordinary, to prevent this follow suit fox in the henhouse to wreak damage, gravely mistaken removed it from the diocese and from contact with young priests, sending him to Rome to study. Not to mention the young priests, removed in the same way by the dioceses under the guise of specialized studies, that once finished their courses in the Roman ecclesiastical universities, through the good offices of senior prelates gay or gay friendly then they entered as officials in the various departments of the Holy See. And just to clarify: during the month of September I will go up for the second time the steps of the State Secretariat for going to confer with the proper authorities but also to hand over a dossier of evidence and documents I drafted and signed before which the stories about Sodom and Gomorrah are a childish tale by the boarders, all so that staved off the dazzling career of another person at very high risk.

.

All of this nubifrossing which it is much worse than those tsunami that ravaged entire nations, Is it the fault of the previous government members? The Pope Francis I, in certain dangerous appointments we have not been deceived, quite the opposite: when it was put on notice of the nature and deeds of certain persons previously rejected as candidates for the episcopate, It's handsomely tricked and promoted them bishops, some even Cardinal.

.

The Pope Francis I It is not a man you love being challenged, nor he loves to hear from serious and honest collaborators that certain pastoral choices and Government could be very wrong, or that certain appointments should be avoided, therefore, acting in accordance with the typical patterns of the mediocre, He has surrounded himself with dangerous dwarves, then they have the best of the worst of the career-change, what they are now all poor, poverty and refugees. But if tomorrow the wind to change and a new giungesse Pope King, overnight we would see them enter their cathedrals with seven meters magna hood, the episcopal gloves on the hands and mitres damask decorated with precious gems on the head.

.

And here you could call me to order, because in the previous lines I dared to give the poor the August Pontiff Ruling. Having said that I clarify to anyone who considers the Supreme Pontiff Reigning the third person in human history free from any stain of sin after the Word of God made man and after the Great Mother of God Blessed Virgin Mary, that define man Jorge Mario Bergoglio balanced, with solid doctrine and the ability to govern, would like to magnify the gorgeous gowns that certain king narrated by celebrated fairy tale, but the truth is naked. It rasserenino therefore all papolatri, because at the beginning of the twentieth century we had a Pope who was a mediocre man, and in some respects even limited, It was called Pius X, Today loved and revered Holy Pontiff of the Church. It was not the only, the Holy Pontiff Pius X, to be a mediocre and limited man, I have been many other saints now highly revered by the people of God, from the Patron Saint of Priests, St. John Mary Vianney. What it was therefore the heroic nature of the virtues that made a man mediocre and too limited as the Supreme Pontiff Pius X a great successor of Peter and then a Saint? St. Pius X had a virtue that the man's personality Jorge Mario Bergoglio seems currently unknown: Pope Pius X had the extraordinary gift of grace of that humility that made him great, but above all able to surround himself with men of the highest talent and intellect, from the Servant of God Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val, that was the big hand of the memorable Encyclical Sheep feeding Domici. And a Saint, as in the case of the Saint Pius X, He surrounds himself with holy men of God, as opposed to subjects like the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio who tend instead to surround themselves - if I pass the end very little Roman church - de pore half-saws.

.

From a pastoral point of view and ecclesiological, before the current irreversible nubifrossing which now also he flooded the College of Bishops, I can not rejoice before the Letter to the Holy People of God of Pope Francis I [cf. WHO], before which there is little to rejoice, because it is the so-called bergogliano yet another text in which it tries to say everything in order not to say anything about what you should say instead, so especially clear and precise. A really poor text, when compared to a memorable text, but unfortunately it forgot from short memory minds, like the one written just eight years ago by Venerable Pope Benedict XVI and titrated: "Pastoral Letter to the Catholics of Ireland" [cf. WHO].

.

The letter of Pope Benedict XVI It has a pastoral structure, theological and socio-ecclesial that starts first of all a great sense of humanity. In it indicates the problem, By analyzing and envisage all solutions. The letter of Pope Francis seems to flaunt humanity contrived in an attempt to show human sensitivity to the world, but most importantly it is devoid of a pastoral structure, theological and socio-ecclesial.

.

Said this: If the theologians on the one hand, Journalists on the other hand, both want to do the analysis in their various and respective competent, unfortunately we have to achieve this result: the Letter of Benedict XVI to the Catholics of Ireland says it all dramatically, pastoral and ecclesial; a letter of Francis to the Holy People of God does not say anything because it does not analyze the problem, It does not indicate with precision parties responsible and does not offer solutions, to the point of blaming an unspecified "clericalism", when in fact the Holiness of Our Lord the reigning Pontiff should know well that the dramatic problem is the high rate spread homosexuality in the clergy.

.

This is the difference that exists between a man mediocre and limited as the Supreme Pontiff Pius X, and a man mediocre and limited as the Supreme Pontiff Francis I. The whole premise that the Holy Spirit offers and filled as always with quite special the Successor of Peter, but if the Successor of Peter is not open to accommodate and exploit the abundant gifts and special grace poured on him, In this case, the Holy Spirit does not work. It does not work because God can not contradict or may contradict the mystery of creation: Man was created in the image and likeness of God, free and endowed with free. If anyone, before a Pope that can be partially or totally closed also from time to time or to the Holy Spirit grace Actions, he came out saying that out anyway, he being the Successor of Peter, in any case you can never err in matters of doctrine and faith, in which case it would come out by the founding principles and fundamentals the Catholic faith even to fall into fideism, but the real magic. Such as do long all those who now have specialized to look for in the pontifical documents that they do not contain, or to make him say what they do not tell, convinced through their interpretations Pindaric to defend and protect the papacy whose first defender to be the Successor of Peter, because if the papacy did not defend him, all our defense is likely to be useless and totally vain, and ridiculous.

.

In the Letter to the People of God, His Holiness Francis I he looks very well to indicate the great plague of homosexuality and dell'omosessualismo now spread even to the highest levels of the church hierarchy; quite the opposite, He is so determined to keep around as a consultant on a subject as dangerous gay friendly James Martin S.J. [cf. WHO].

.

The Supreme Pontiff Francis I it looks good by clarifying that cases of widespread pedophilia among the clergy, each of which is intended to create devastating media effects, as well as damage to the victim atrocious, are real cases and found, but rare, because most of those listed as cases of pedophilia, in truth they are only cases of ephebophilia, ie routine practice of homosexuality by priests exercising that pure, simple, beautiful and protected exercise homosexual sexuality recognized as a genuine right from the Law itself.

.

To understand how the cases of pedophilia in the clergy are rare, just do a simple numerical proportion analysis: in the world the secular Catholic clergy and adjust consists of about 450.000 priests [cf. WHO], if we compare this number with that of pedophile priests convicted by a final judgment, We find out what we're talking about really numerical proportion of very few priests, roughly in the order of 0,02% low. Since, however, the efebofilo falls into those that are the defects related to the practice of homosexuality, if it's priests screams instead "to pedophile!”, even when a commonly gay priest and certainly not pedophile, He has profaned the Sacred Order of Priests consuming a carnal sacrilege with a boy of seventeen years and eleven months, who he was rather addicted to sexual activity since he was thirteen, and that was a prostitute paid since he was fourteen.

.

Most of the priests referred to as pedophiles - I repeat, however, are not pedophiles but efebofili or simply giosamente and gay -, who they have had sex with teenagers in the absence of physical violence and psychological coercion, consumed alone and nothing but gay relationships. And that being said I repeat: if in the absence of proven psychological and physical violence, a sixteen year old with his family presentassero is assisted by an army of lawyers before the judges, for an order of priest pedophilia, they would literally be thrown out of any court in the world, if anything, even with the serious risk of being sued by their gay priest who has only had sex with a minor in post-pubertal age group, without subjecting it to any physical and psychological coercion, and what obviously consenting. And all this - I repeat it again without being wordy - it's called homosexuality and pedophilia does not.

.

This lack of clarity and distinction including very rare cases of pedophilia, cases of ephebophilia, cases of sexual relationships with young consenting gay priests and often handsomely rewarded for their services rendered quite often for a fee, therefore likely to create a big and dangerous misconception: if a gay adult has sexual intercourse with a consenting ultra sixteen teenager or with a fourteen already sailed and as such psychologically recognized, in this case and has had just nothing but a lawful sexual intercourse; if, however, to have had a sexual relationship with this same subject is a priest, in that case you scream "pedophile". The first very great hypocrites who cry out immediately "pedophile" are just the children of the powerful lobby LBGT, those teaching on sexuality understood as a genre of your choice or on the beauty of 'Gay love, I have already imposed in many countries around the world starting from elementary schools.

.

The reigning Supreme Pontiff, He was accidentally informed by his gay Jesuit James Martin consultant around the world, Many Catholic schools have had to close and then liquidate their unused now stable, because local governments had imposed their teachings incompatible with the faith and Catholic morality, such as the dell'omosessualismo exaltation and the theory of the genus, the obligation of education on contraception and abortion rights? Whether these cases are not documented by the branch radio Radicale which for some time it has reduced the newspaper of the Italian Bishops L'Avvenire, It does not mean they are not real cases and especially rising steadily, those in Catholic schools forced to close its doors and sell stable.

.

And this large and dangerous misconception that originates primarily from the lack of information and distinction between pedophilia, ephebophilia and homosexuality, with all its numerical statistics, the manager is the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, that is not the Holy Pope Gregory I the Great or the Holy Pontiff Pius X, who also had, like men, limitatezze of which they have not affected the achievement of their holiness, simply because they went beyond themselves to open up to the actions of the grace of God upon them.

.

Finally, I must give a reason to Professor Roberto de Mattei, I have often criticized amiably, without ever having questioned his preparation and especially his exemplary life and his being a genuine intellectual model, a husband and a Catholic father. My Christian and intellectual honesty requires me to say that Professor Roberto de Mattei has unfortunately right when he speaks of papolatri, because at this certain we have now reached: the Father and the Son may be wrong to proceed to the Holy Spirit, but the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio no, he can do no wrong and is never wrong, whatever you say or do.

.

.

Given these premises, the Major Basilica of St. John Lateran, Cathedral of Rome and Mother of all the Churches of the world, we can also put up the sign: total failure sellout, aware that in the future, from this terrible devastation wrought by his bishops and his priests, with long and painful effort visible the pilgrim Church on earth will recover and be relieved only by the Holy Spirit and the Holy People of God.

.

The 18 February 2013, a few days after the announcement of the act of renunciation given by the Venerable Pope Benedict XVI, the news agency Vatican Insider He reported a deservedly forgotten text of the young theologian Joseph Ratzinger, from 1969 and contained in its cycle of radio lessons:

.

"From today's crisis it will emerge a Church that has lost much. It will become small and will have to start more or less from the beginning. No longer able to live many of the buildings he had built in prosperity. As the number of its faithful will decrease, gra also lose part of the social privileges […] But despite all these changes can be presumed, the Church will find again and with all the energy that is essential to it, what has always been its center: faith in the Triune God, in Jesus Christ, the Son of God made man, assistance of the Spirit, that will last until the end. Will start again in small groups, by movements and by a minority that transmit the faith and prayer at the center of the experience, and experience again the sacraments as a divine service and not as a liturgical structure problem. It will be a more spiritual Church, that does not arrogherà political office now flirting with the left and now with the right. It will do this with effort. The process in fact crystallization and clarification will make poor, The Church will become a small, the process will be long and tiring. But after testing of these divisions will come from an internalized Church and simplified a great force. Men who live in a totally planned world will experience an unspeakable loneliness. If they have completely lost the sense of God, hear all the horror of their poverty. They then discover the small community of believers as something totally new: they find out as a hope for themselves, the answer had always tried in secret […] To me it seems certain that they are preparing for the very difficult times Church. His real crisis has just begun. It has to deal with major upheavals. But I am also quite sure of what will be the end: not the Church of the political cult […] but the Church of faith. Of course it will not be the dominant social force insofar as it was until recently. But the Church will know a new flowering and will appear as the man's house, where to find life and hope beyond death " [cf. WHO].

.

These words painted the devastation wrought in our recent past, the situation of this disfiguring visible Church, and finally the future that awaits us, just do not be blind and not think that this moment of glory for some, for other aberrant confusion, together with this pontificate will never go, among cries of "epochal revolutions" and "irreversible processes". Screams of those typical Jacobean, not having a future perspective and eschatological, are capable of living only the everything and immediately of the present, looking like boarding pirates to grab at this present everything you can grab, almost as if … "There is no certainty in tomorrow ', then "who wants be happy", in the words of the father of Gnosticism Renaissance neo-pagan Lorenzo the Magnificent, it was in fact a father of neo-pagan Gnosticism, He was not a father of the Catholic faith.

KILLING THE ENEMY: REFLECTIONS ON THE DEATH PENALTY AND ISSUES ANNESSE

.

One might also ask if it was the case that the question of the death penalty had entered the Catechism, whose job is not to provide a solution to practical problems quota, but to teach the unchanging truths of faith. Anyway, happily welcome the decision of the Holy Father, who, with this gesture, if he does not exercise his ministry as teacher of the faith, however, in the full exercise of his pastoral authority, and precisely the power of the keys

the imaginative and questionable pseudo-historical film In the name of the Pope King, played by the great Nino Manfredi, Where does the story fictionalized terrorists Giuseppe Monti and Gaetano Tognetti

I join with my contribution the intervention of the Father Ariel [cf. WHO], on which are substantially agree, adding other topics and presenting some annexes.

.

There is a book that on the issue of the murder seems paradoxical. No book like this enhances the dignity, the inviolability and sanctity of human life. but yet, while, none like this admits the lawfulness of murder in the name of God: war, invasions, massacres, punishments, death sentences, law of retaliation, tyrannicides, killing unjust aggressors. And this book is the Bible. The biblical law boycott cherem was the total destruction of the enemy defeated that we can find news in the Book of Deuteronomy [cf. Dt 20, 10-20] and it is presented in the Bible as divine precept, so much so that Saul was punished by God for not doing the cherem [And Sam 15, 9] after God had ordered him to "kill the people of Amalek" and:

.

"Not give way to compassion for him, but slay both man and women, Children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys " [And Sam 15, 3].

.

It can be said that the ethics of the Bible is an ethics of life. The good is that which promotes life; evil and sin are what offends or off. Hence the precept not to kill:

.

"You have heard what was said to your ancestors: do not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment " [Is 20, 13].

.

At the same time, however, there are degrees of life: from that infima, vegetable, to climb, through animal life, to the human, all white angelica, the divine life. But the command "Thou shalt not kill" is not worth the same for all grades of life. The intra-human life can be sacrificed to the human. Already in Eden God authorizes the first married couple to use plants and animals to obtain food.

.

As for the person's life, according to the Bible, his physical life, however valuable, It must be ordered to spiritual, for which Christ commands us to give up the physical life which can create hindrance to the spiritual life and the relationship with Him:

.

"If your hand causes you to sin, toglila » [cf. MC 9,43].

.

The physical life of the individual must be at the service of common good, that is, the life of the community, so if it happens that the individual, with his criminal conduct, endanger the good of society, this, according to Scripture, It can get rid of the death penalty from this dangerous element.

.

In the past, death penalty It served to protect society from the damage caused by criminals. Indeed, the divine commandment "Thou shalt not kill" means "do not kill the innocent", but they not necessarily forbid to kill the wicked, indeed his killing by the legitimate authority is seen as an act of justice, as it is evidenced by the examples of Scripture and the whole history of the Church.

.

This is why in the past the Church has justified the death penalty and she made it her own use in the Papal States. In this regard, suffice it to recall that the death penalty was abolished by the Basic Law of the State of the Vatican City 12 February 2001, after Paul VI had made in 1967 ineffective, while without deleting. Only in 2001 It was totally erased by motu proprio of John Paul II.

.

In the old Papal States, from the 1796 al 1870 They were made about 516 death sentences. Presiding over the court of the Holy See were ecclesiastical judges, then of course the sentences were carried out by the laity, the so-called secular arm, they were certainly not priests, brothers and sisters to carry out the death sentences. In the State of the Church for the death penalty it was practiced until 1870. The death sentences could not be carried out without the authorization of the Roman Pontiff, who, he is wishing he could switch them to life imprisonment, in another sentence or even pardon. The first death sentence passed under the pontificate of Pius IX was in 1852 to Girolamo Simoncelli who had spotted a number of offenses: murder, attempt at insurrection, false and outrageous aggression against Giusto Recanati Bishop of Senigallia. Another resounding condemnation was that of Giuseppe Monti and Gaetano Tognetti performed in Rome in Via dei Cerchi the 24 November 1868. These two condemned today are celebrated as martyrs after being constructed such as to certain legends of the Risorgimento. In truth, the two young men were guilty of the crime of massacre by killing with a bomb attack on the Zuavi Barracks located in Palazzo Serristori, in the current Via della Conciliazione, Twenty-three soldiers and two civilians, seriously injuring other innocent civilians, two of whom died later life, for a total of twenty-seven victims [List of victims WHO]. Among the civilians killed Francesco Ferri and little daughter Rosa. The massacre could have been much worse, because of the three explosive charges placed in the drains of the barracks just exploded; if they were all exploded, the tragedy would have been greater. It would be even with the explosion of a single charge, if most of the Zouaves were not released for reasons of service to Porta San Paolo, In fact, the Zouaves died in the attack were almost all the members of the band.

A Pius IX was advanced pledge of grace, but he was forced to reject it not to irritate the families of many victims, but also not irritate the Roman population, which he had been deeply touched by the death of a child Rosa Ferri. The two terrorists, during a year-long process, not asked for mercy; and they not asked for the reasons narrated by legend, since they have decided to deny indomitable to come to terms with the "tyrant", but because they were so impressed by the effects of their actions and the deaths that were achieved, much to see in the scaffold a form of ransom for the gesture made by them [reference is made in this regard to the report published in 1868 the journal of the Jesuits La Civiltà Cattolica after their execution, WHO]. After 1870, with the unification of Italy attempted to transform these two terrorists in heroic figures of fighters against tyranny, dedicating their streets and monuments, in total disregard of the victims died as a result of the massacre perpetrated by them. The legend of two young proclaimed later "martyrs of the Italian law" moved from the late nineteenth-century literature also the contemporary filmography, especially in film In the name of the Pope King, played by the great Nino Manfredi, in which the two terrorists were raised to the rank of "martyrs of freedom" [cf. WHO].

.

The last executed under Pope Pius IX before the fall of the Papal States was Agatino Bellomo, convicted of brutal murder and guillotined in Palestrina in July 1870, two months before the fall of Rome.

.

In centuries long gone the same death penalty for heretics It was imposed by the so-called secular arm State after the convictions of ecclesiastical tribunals. The State, in these ancient times that can not be analyzed with contemporary socio-political criteria, He considered a heretic as destructive civil public order. In any case, the canonists and the Fathers of the Church - see, for example, St. Thomas Aquinas [QUESTION, II-II, q.11, a.3] - they believed that the heretic deserved the death penalty, as disturbing the faith of the Church, common good of the Church and the People of God.

.

The Church has the right to be at the forefront of the abolition of the death penalty, as is happening today with the Pope Francis. This clearly implies a negative judgment on past practice. This decision of the Church should not surprise, because it is based on a deeper understanding of the dignity of the person and of his own physical life.

.

Today the Church believes that the company can defend itself from the delinquent even without recourse to the death penalty. While incarceration may give hope to the prisoner to escape, it is also true that it can give you chance to repent. The death penalty can have a deterrent value, but experience teaches that not recede from their conduct certain criminals even knowing that risk of execution.

This change of judgment of the church about the death penalty is a better understanding of the absoluteness of the "do not kill" commandment, even if it was respected, although less perfectly, also from the previous conception. This judgment makes changing even better apply the evangelical commandment of love for the enemy, while in the past the Church was less willing to tolerate his enemies, and to consider its positive aspects and also it was easier to consider them guilty and more reluctant to admit extenuating circumstances or excuses the guilty. It was less feared mistrial, because unless we realized the complexity of the problem of having to judge a man when criminal law.

.

The noble example of the martyr that, in the footsteps of Christ, while it is able to defend, lets kill the pursuer, It can not be built in a common rule of conduct, but it constitutes the heroic witness of a special gift of the Holy Spirit, not at all granted. It would be to show an intolerable rigorism to pretend to lower to a common rule what is only a privilege of the Holy Spirit. Likewise, the heroism of the mother, who prefers to die to give birth to son, she in those tragic circumstances could have an abortion, It is not to be taken as a general rule without risking groped God.

.

We must however distinguish the legitimate punishment by the action of the criminal coercive aimed at neutralizing an unjust personal assault or collective. Precisely because human life is sacred, must be defended, if required, also with the use of force, with the opponent's suppression. So it is lawful to the jeweler threatened by an armed thug, kill him before he does fire. It is permissible for a guardian of the order to kill a terrorist caught in the act of terrorism and crime it is going to make a killing. It is lawful for a soldier to kill the enemy of the country.

Here is the solution apparent paradox of Scripture, which connects the command not to kill the murder legitimacy for cause, Whether self-defense or just war. As for the injustice aggressor, although it is a person, However, with its aggression it loses its right to existence, not as a person, but as harmful agent. The essential thing is to make it harmless. If to achieve this end, you can leave it in life, well; otherwise it must kill. In fact has reason for being the good life, not that evil. This is why in the Bible God destroys the wicked, thing to be understood not in the sense that God nullifies them, but in the sense that punish them eternally. The Bible, therefore, distinguishes murder from executed, just war by unjust war. Murder is a crime: suppress those who have a right to exist, for example, the abort; is executed act of justice, although it involves the removal of a man. Just War is one that defends the homeland and all its subsidiaries by the attacker. War is unjust aggression to another people. Consider unjust in itself every war is hypocritical fraud pacifists, who then they are the first to hate those who contradict them.

.

The Church in the past believed that the physical existence of the person is not an absolute right, but it is conditioned by his conduct. The criminal lost this right, He is its harmful to society life. The church, other parte, he cared especially the eternal salvation of the offender. For this to those sentenced to death he was assured religious assistance. The you could open the gates of heaven. Today the Church thinks differently. It gives more importance to the physical life of the offender and less importance to the damage he does to the society. Difficult to determine whether it was better before or is it better now. Anyhow, to be good Catholics, just stay with that.

.

The Church does not intend to impose on Member waiving the death penalty, as if it were an absolute or a natural law requirement, but as a precautionary measure that may allow exceptions in cases serious. After all, it is a positive legal ground, in which the state retains a legitimate autonomy, because it does not touch the universal human rights and duties inviolable, but the positive law of State responsibility. At this juncture the church may invite, it may urge; but can not prescribe.

.

Judith and her husband Giuseppe Tavani Arquati died in a clash with the Papal Zouaves 23 October 1867 during the raid on the premises where they were in the act of conspiracy plans with the armed forces of foreign armies and where an arsenal of guns and ammunition was stored. On the occasion of the celebrations of Italian unification it was placed this inscription. No stone has ever been placed on the barracks walls of Palazzo Serristori where twenty-seven people were killed as a result of the bombing of Giuseppe Monti and Gaetano Tognetti. Also to mark the 150th anniversary of Italy, It has confirmed the ideology meandering always in our country: there are righteous dead and unjust deaths, dead transformed into heroes, even though they were the bombers dead and doomed to eternal indifference. The Italian continues to be a people not yet able to bring down the historic peace on the winners and the losers, of those who fought a good clappers and over who induced, He forced or persuaded to be right, instead he fought an unjust battle. Italy is therefore a country where, to the test, the dead can not find peace, while the ideologues throw fuel on the fire.

Death penalty it's not a intrinsically evil such as abortion or murder innocent, my a that which was evil in the majority of, because in some very rare cases is the right punishment for serious crimes too, as was the death sentence of the Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg trial, about the execution of which it does not appear that either political, nor ecclesiastics, nor the more radical pacifists, We have never raised objections. The church, so, It does not impose the above waiver with the same force with which it imposes theoretical natural moral law or the rights inalienable and imprescriptible duties of the person, or absolute moral values, such as religious freedom, the dignity of marriage and the common good or the prohibition of abortion and stuff. Neither, as also said the Father Ariel, the Church's decision should be seen like a doctrinal pronouncement which had the status of infallibility, irrevocability and immutability. We are in fact on the ground of dogma, but of pastoral care and the law, a plane on which the Church, as merits our respect, It is not infallible.

.

It should therefore be noted that the prohibition does not belong to the natural law of death penalty, founded on divine right, immutable and binding, but of positive law, changeable and abrogabile, employee human authority, Civil and ecclesiastical. Because of this, Father Ariel rightly points out that, expected the current spread of corruption in society and in the Church, as well as considering - I add - the prophecies of the Apocalypse and of Saint Paul on the final apostasy, we can not be so sure that does not return a situation that requires the restoration of the death penalty, albeit limited to exceptional homes, if not unique.

.

The question of the death penalty is framed in the large issue of crime repression in state and Church. As for the latter, remember - just as an example - that the canon law still recognizes the existence of the crime of heresy and hits him with appropriate sanctions [can. 1364§ 1], although unfortunately often happens, for negligence and injustices authority, that heretics unpunished, whereas they are hit the faithful to the deposit of faith, Catholic doctrine and the magisterium of the Church. However, this in no way detracts common law of human justice, whose inevitable wrongs are then repaired by divine justice. The risk that we run today, as it is known to all, is not that of too severely, but it is to a misericordismo and a brand gooders roussoiana, that ignores the consequences of original sin, opens the door to increased crime and corruption and discourages those who work for justice.

.

One might also ask if it was the case that the question of the death penalty had entered, before and after, in the Catechism, whose job is not to provide a solution to practical problems quota, but to teach the unchanging truths of faith. Anyway, happily welcome the decision of the Holy Father, who, with this gesture, if he does not exercise his ministry as teacher of the faith, however, in the full exercise of his pastoral authority, and precisely the power of the keys, incarnating in history the perennial demands of the Gospel.

THE NO OF POPE FRANCIS I ADMISSION OF HOMOSEXUAL IN SEMINARS? THE TRAGEDY OF MORAL DECLINE OF CLERGY IS BORN THE LACK OF ADEQUATE TRAINING, It IS SO THEN that we end up finding ourselves COL WITH AN ARMY CHECKS E CHECCHINE, DIVE E DIVINE INSIDE THE BODY ECCLESIASTICUS

.

The recommended not to admit a gay seminary, as recently did the Pope Francis I, it is only the end of an at present impossible job to do, without first going to hit with iron and fire certain cardinal bishops and powerful. contrarily, say to the bishops of Italy gathered in plenary session that we must not admit to the seminary and also people who are just suspected of homosexual tendencies, would be like going to scratch with a teaspoon the tip of the iceberg.

… Tuscan and Roman, in the mystery of the Redemption they are subject to a very special treatment, indeed, regardless of their good works, simply because Tuscan and why Roman, that is, as marked by a stain that is added to the original sin, They must be strictly two thousand years of purgatory [in the picture: poster of the famous satirical newspaper Tuscan The Vernacoliere Livorno]

In the distant year 1935, Pope Pius XI issued a farsighted encyclical on Catholic Priesthood [Back to the Catholic Priesthood, see text WHO], which he warns of those forms of devastating shallowness and lack of accountability on the part of bishops and trainers. In this regard it indicates how we should shy away "the false mercy that would become real cruelty to the Church", and "about the young man himself". For this purpose, in the section devoted to "The choice of candidates', writes the Pope:

.

"But all this magnificent effort for the education of pupils of the sanctuary would benefit little if it was not the choice of the candidates accurate, for which they are built and administered Seminars. In this choice all must work together, those in charge of training the clergy: Superiors, the spiritual directors, the Confessors, each in the manner and within their limits of his office, as with every effort must cultivate divine vocation and corroborate, so with no less zeal must divert and remove for a time via, that is not their, those young people who are seen lacking the necessary ability and are therefore expected not able to bear worthily and decently priestly ministry. And although it is much better that this elimination will face from the beginning, because in these things the wait and wait is both a serious mistake and a serious damage, But whatever the cause of the delay, you must correct the error when it warns, no human consideration, without the false mercy that would become a real cruelty, not only for the Church, which would give a minister or inept or unworthy, but also to the young man himself who, pushed so above a false way, It could be exposed to be a stumbling block to himself and others, with the danger of eternal ruin. Neither it will be difficult watchful and expert eye of the person chairing the Seminar, of those who follow and lovingly studied one by one the young people entrusted to him and their inclinations, not be difficult, we say, check whether someone is or is not a true priestly vocation " [supra, text of the Encyclical, WHO].

.

The facts scandalous rise in several countries of the world of which more and more is news, about sins committed by clerics devoted to the practice of homosexuality, or to sexual harassment ranging from ephebophilia until horrendous crime of pedophilia, They encourage us to ask ourselves what are the causes of such an abhorrent phenomenon against nature.

.

The existence of concubinage among the clergy It is a phenomenon that runs through the whole history of the Church, up to the present day, but in this case, however, we speak of an act In addition to nature. A problem, that's double life and more or less occasional reports or sometimes even stable with women, that hit the church hierarchy up to the highest levels. Known best historical level is the case of a Supreme Pontiff concubinage, Alexander VI, aka Rodrigo Borgia. But, as we said just now, In this case, however, it is at stake what is sexual intercourse natural physiologically, undoubtedly sinful, ma In addition to nature. Concerning Alexander VI's good to clarify that in addition to black legends created first by the Lutherans in the sixteenth century, later those designed around a table and then spread by the anti-clerical affiliated to the nascent Freemasonry in the eighteenth century, are also many extraordinary documents, because beyond his undeniable personal moral conduct, This Pope was necessary a true defender of the deposit of credit, not by chance, the bubble How in principio the 1499 and the bubble Eternal Shepherd the 1500 with which proclaimed the Holy Year, giving them precise instructions to penitentiaries to purchase the jubilee indulgence, They should be read on his knees and with tears in his eyes.

.

However, what is hard to understand it may occur as the commission of a sin as serious as that of sodomy, against that clerical celibacy or chastity that is supposed to have been desired, wanted, and finally decided promised solemnly and publicly with the commitment of compliance to the death, all freely and knowingly by psychologically healthy people who have received a healthy and regular priestly and religious formation, after being carefully screened and tested by superiors responsible for training.

.

To this picture disheartening It has to add the question that arises, and even more dramatic on the quality of trainers, teachers and educators of these people, in the first place of the bishops, the superiors and vigilant about the good education of their priests, as well as the competence and virtue of teachers and educators responsible for their education.

.

It must be held, as we have repeatedly found on our Patmos Island, that the deep roots of these sexual sins can not be derived from having received a bad education and bad, not based on the directives of the Magisterium of the Church and the true masters, but of heretical ideas, or otherwise of ideas condemned by the Church, which they include the objectives a false concept of God, of man, of faith, of grace, of the law, of sin, of the Redemption, of the church, of the Sacraments, priesthood and episcopacy, as it happens for example in the theology of Karl Rahner.

.

Another disturbing fact, in this affair, It is the inappropriate or reckless attitude of the bishops, or reluctant or minimize or cover the misdeeds or take ineffective measures. But it gets worse: when a body is flooded with metastases and "oncologists" - ie the bishops and trainers to the priestly and religious life -, instead bombard cancer cells with chemotherapy protect diseased cells to damage healthy ones, It ends with the emergence in the upright minds that imperative of conscience under which you are forced to advise aspirants to the priesthood and religious life does not enter at all in many seminaries and novitiates. And of this we are witnesses, in our own way also protagonists in our capacity as confessors and spiritual directors. Indeed, precisely in the exercise of these delicate ministries, we were repeatedly forced to advise young people profoundly healthy and animated by genuine vocations not to enter certain institutions, many of them reduced to authentic havens for homosexuals; or by homosexuals themselves managed directly or indirectly affected, therefore protected on the outside by the large, devastating and powerful lobby of clerics influenced by homosexual tendencies or a homosexual psychology - the so-called gay friendly —, on account of which we are witnessing an ever-expanding omosessualizzazione the Catholic clergy.

.

To about, seem blatant and dictated by severe light the collective resignation of the entire Chilean episcopate as a result of yet another scandal in Chile. Commendable was the letter in which the bishops expressed repentance, willingness to correct and thanks to Pope Francis I for the paternal attention he has given to the story. However, though it should be noted that a bishop can give up the bishop's throne because aware of serious faults or because he feels sure their supervening inability to continue to conveniently carry out his office. The same Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, with this in mind, He has made a waiver to the Chair of Peter. But, that an entire episcopacy formed by 34 bishops - although they felt their involvement in the widespread scandal which lasted for many years -, comes the unprecedented serious decision to resign as, with a compactness that knows what forced, as it might be in union protests or in a factory committee, more than witnessing an act of repentance, It gives evidence of a damaging wave of his episcopal dignity, to draw to itself the world's attention. To solve the problem, in fact quite different from similar fanfare. The real and more serious charge should have come forward, not hiding in the pile of resigning, and take responsibility.

.

The real educational solution is that the bishop, before admitting a candidate to training for the priesthood, truly and seriously verify that it is available in a generous dose of the male hormone testosterone with its male psychology that goes with it, because the man - or if you prefer the healthy male -, It is the first and basic prerequisite to begin to form a candidate ahead of the ministerial priesthood. Eliminations all, the bishop should give serious training and carry out a diligent supervision of the seminary and the priesthood, in order for the candidate to Holy Orders is protected and defended from the unhealthy ideas and cultivated sound doctrine, clarifies well the very high value of the priestly and episcopal vocation and they fall in love with all your heart, with ardent desire for perfection and holiness and to be totally at the service of souls and of the Church. The priest truly convinced and in love with his vocation and mission is all and only took the things above, not those of this land. It is moved by the Spirit, It has no time to meet the desires of the flesh.

.

The true pastoral solution It involves the education of the will and emotions, and the strengthening of attachment to the good, the stimulation of hatred for sin, the will to reform and correct itself. If the Blessed Apostle Paul says that love "bears" [The Cor 13,7], He is referring to the delicacy of the father who does not throw his son fed to ridicule, I do not want to humiliate, but at the same time it wants to correct. Because a father who knows if necessary recall, reprove, threaten and punish, exercising in this way true love. If not, it falls into that dangerous false mercy stigmatized by Pius XI in his encyclical dedicated to the priesthood and formation for the priesthood.

.

The charity and mercy, I am definitely ready to cover it where it is possible, useful, lawful and proper; where there is excusable or patience, but certainly not in the sense of covering or hiding the sin that may not be corrected and punished. True love and true mercy must not cover up the evil, but reveal to the proper authorities and to the sinner himself. God does not cover the sins of those leaving, as he thought Martin Luther, but it covers them for mercy waiting to remove.

.

Mercy does not suppose the reduction of the blame on pain. There is not only the wounded soul, but there is also that feritrice; there is not only the sinner to be treated with due Mercy, because even the person seriously tarnished by sin deserves at least the same dose of mercy given to the sinner offender. You have to have compassion for those who can not make it, But not for those who do not want to commit because no way seeks to make it. This is prompted to correct themselves and commit, otherwise mercy, after being emptied of its true meaning mystagogical, becomes connivance and complicity, if not worse: with the false mercy covers the sinner and punishes those who have shown the dangerous offensive and Infectious his sin, reaching up to hit the healthy cell to protect the tumor cells and enter the bloodstream body of the Church and ecclesiastical.

.

In our considerations on this issue scabrous, we must add that on the basis of the analyzes and observations that we are doing and now regularly publishing for some years, both regarding the conduct is wrong and dangerous ideas about some of the clergy and bishops, in front of all these facts it is inevitably arisen in us a terrible suspicion, certainly not without theological and legal basis, though not always accompanied by specific tests, so we concluded that in many cases the sacred orders of these priests and these bishops, based on a false idea of ​​the priesthood and falsante, are not only illegal but also invalid. In this regard, we published two studies in the past for our page Theologica which can be found in the archive of The Island of Patmos [see WHO e WHO]. Two studies which incidentally put at the disposal of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments and the Congregation for the Clergy, so those responsible to examine certain questions, would sift.

.

The moral loss, giving rise to the phenomenon of widespread sexual disorder among priests until reaching even to the crime of pedophilia, It is in turn caused by the concept of human action rahneriano, that is not based on the acceptance of the essential purposes of human nature, because he does not accept either the idea of ​​a fixed and objective human nature, whose happiness depends on obedience to an immutable and inviolable natural law established by the Creator; but according to him, man and each of us, It is free to determine how he likes the concrete contours and then the act of his own nature and existence. From this it follows that in the sexual field the individual subject is free to choose their orientation is not based on a purpose of sexual activity inherent in the nature, regardless of the subject, but based on the research of sexual pleasure, obtained by means created by the subject itself, variables such as from subject to subject and they all lawful, They enjoy them as long as the subject. Thus there is no longer a universal rule to distinguish a good deed from sin. So I can not say that this commits a sin of sodomy, of ephebophilia or worse than pedophilia, but that his act is simply different from mine, an act that I must not convict, but understand and respect. All this has led to a concept abhorrent and evil of so-called Church “cozy” e “includente” that internally it houses all the so-called “diversity”, after having diminished sin and changed the name to sin, calling it just "diversity" to be accepted and to be valued, be it as a heresy of the sexual disorders.

.

When it gives space to a similar moral, The jeremiads for widespread homosexuality among the clergy are of little value, to follow along with the cases of ephebophilia and pedophilia among priests registered. It is indeed, almost entirely, of scandals that could have been avoided. And their inevitable explosion were then profuse crocodile tears from those who up till then had covered and protected the proponents of certain conduct, but now they tear their clothes in public, sobbing, "do not know" or "we would never have imagined". Needless to say, doing so is just gross hypocrisy, yield further serious by the fact that not infrequently, this army of episcopal and priestly mourners, often it did not even limited to cover in a determined and stubborn certain immoral, because they often have done worse: repeatedly hit, ostracized and marginalized the few priests who with determination and courage have denounced certain situations before the outbreak of the public scandal. In this regard the Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo would have much to say to the church authorities, which repeatedly, always at your own risk, reported situations that should have been taken to cut short time and so decided, rather than leaving them to ferment and then explode, with the resulting public crying of the same ecclesiastical authorities who despite having been informed well and on time, far from making something subsequently responded to various interviewers: "we did not know", "I never could have imagined", "Ecclesiastical authority, or a diocesan bishop, can not have it all under control ' …

.

So how much further do we have to go? in reaping the bitter fruits of rahnerismo? What is yet to happen because the Roman Pontiff will decide on a reform of priestly formation in accordance with the directives of Vatican II? The Council and its reforms do not in fact provide for the rahnerismo, but a wise return to St. Thomas Aquinas, as the same Council's Decree on Priestly Formation Oct:

.

"To fully illustrate how much more can the mysteries of salvation, the students may learn to deepen them by means of speculation, St. Thomas having to master " [n. 16, text WHO].

.

While the Declaration on Christian Education Education, he claims:

.

"By investigating very carefully the new questions posed by age and research that evolves, will seize more clearly how faith and reason meet each other in the only truth in the footsteps of the doctors of the Church, especially St. Thomas Aquinas " [n. 10, text WHO].

.

It is therefore necessary that the educator being educated to make available the means of grace, propose the example of Santi, give himself an example of virtue, educate him in the study of Scripture, to prayer, to intimate union with Christ the High Priest, to communion with the Church and with the Roman Pontiff, the works of fraternal charity and mercy.

.

We must honestly acknowledge that in these fifty years in which they should have been put in place these wise directives, the Council was mocked by their rahneriani that they consider sequencers, but in reality they have first given life to the para-council, then, in the post-conciliar season, to their council staff; but it's about, as we have repeatedly explained, a council never celebrated by the Church Fathers. So it happened that instead of the conciliar reform, It rose a modernism that is worse than the time of the Holy Pontiff Pius X.

.

We must therefore do it all again and return to the directives of Vatican II, otherwise things will get progressively worse and worse in this season irreversible decline. For as long ago wrote the Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo on our pages Theologica: "The moral crisis of clergy was established upstream from a deep doctrinal crisis, that this moral crisis was the Great Mother giving birth ' [see articles, WHO, WHO].

.

The Pope Francis I, talking behind closed doors to the Bishops of Italy meeting in plenary session in 21 al 23 May, He advised them not to accept candidates for the priesthood who show homosexual tendencies clear. Well, with all due respect and deep reverence for the Successor of Peter, we can not help but smile with loving pain of these words, that once again denote an inability to grasp the extent of the problem and then go to the root of the same serious problem. Indeed, the solution, It is not to avoid the army's admission of homosexuals that they continue to be allowed in seminaries and novitiates in spite of repeated warnings and various documents published by dicasteries of the Holy See over the past decade [please refer to this Instruction 2005, WHO, and to this article WHO]; the problem is solved by displacing the bishops belonging to lobby gay ecclesiastical which are in fact tireless patron of gay priests, as well as incubators of new gay priests.

.

The Supreme Pontiff, so talking, it is not perhaps realize that denying admission to the seminary a homosexual, it is only the final act, or so to say the tip of 'iceberg? To solve the problem must first be neutralized all those bishops and those members of the Roman Curia who belong to lobby gay and protect it in every way, especially to the detriment of good priests and good vocations.

.

To close this speech, in itself and in itself long and complex, leave the Holiness of Our Lord Pope Francis Augustus's a question on which to meditate, namely the following: Most Holy Father, but there're just never realized that in the Vatican City and its Departments, removed those healthy men, overtime and trust that are the members of the Pontifical Gendarmerie, and also those of the Pontifical Swiss Guard, among many lay employees, most of them worthy fathers and mothers, there is also a considerable number of young men employed directly in your home at different places of employment only because they are boys several of your prelates? How is it possible not to notice what? Because it is so obvious, in the space of this small sovereign state occupying just one square kilometer of land.

.

Therefore, The recommended not to admit a gay seminary, it is only the end of an at present impossible job to do, if first you do not go to strike with fire and sword certain cardinal bishops and powerful. contrarily, say to the bishops of Italy gathered at the meeting that we should not admit to the seminary and also people who are just suspected of homosexual tendencies, would be like going to scratch with a teaspoon the tip of the iceberg.

These videos were accompanied by the following message: "I hope that it is a secular, because unfortunately it resembles a lot to many of our priests, so I would not want to be one of our, like … one more among many!».

penalty Question: many priests and faithful devotees, but especially, how many Ecclesiastical Authority can in good conscience say that he had never encountered in our secular and regular clergy of similar topic to this nice joker, which however, priests, unfortunately they are for real?

WHO IS MORE SYMPATHETIC: THE COLONEL GADDAFI, OR THE CARDINAL KASPER WHO INSULT THE EUCHARIST AND APPROVES LUTHER’S HERESIES?

.

The question of the authorization of Communion to the Protestants is in reality responsibility of canon law, but the question is however linked to dogmatics and ecclesiology, while Cardinal Kasper, unfortunately, does not take these constraints into account and thus ends up approving the Lutheran heresies.

Colonel Gaddafi [1942-2011] leader of Libya

The Vatican Insider news agency reports an interview by dr. Andrea Tornielli to Cardinal Walter Kasper on the question of the legitimacy of Eucharistic communion for Lutherans [see interview, HERE]. In question it is not the interviewer, but the interviewee. Therefore, those who stigmatize Andrea Tornielli, as is happening, makes a serious mistake. It would be like accusing Oriana Fallaci of having interviewed Colonel Gaddafi in 1979, in a memorable interview contained today in the history of journalism. The mrs. Fallacy, he only did his job [see text, HERE]. Or as Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo Told Me: “It would be like I was called to the bedside of a dying serial killer, and I refuse to hear his confession!” In any case, establishing who among the two, Cardinal Kasper and Colonel Gaddafi, is more amiable and less dangerous, is not a problem linked to this article. We leave it to the jury’s readers to award the sympathy prize to Cardinal Kasper or Colonel Gheddafi, because today, more than ever, the imagination of the grotesque seems to have really taken power.

.

We have already motivated in our other articles the teaching and directives of the Church on this delicate theme of the sacrament of the Eucharist and of its administration, which, as Saint John Paul II says in the encyclical Church of the Eucharist of 1993: «summarizes the core of the mystery of the Church» [n. 1]; the Eucharist «builds the Church» [(c). (II)] and is «the culmination of all the sacraments in bringing to perfection communion with God the Father through conformity with the Only Begotten Son through the work of the Holy Spirit» [n. 34].

.

The Cardinal Kasper claims that the granting of the permission of the Communion to the Lutherans is contained both in the Decree Bond of the Second Vatican Council, and in two encyclicals of St. John Paul II. Now, if we read these documents, we will notice that they conform to the dictate of Canon Law [Can. 844 § 3-4], which I quoted and commented on in a previous article of mine.

.

As for the conciliar document, it reads as follows:

.

«This communication is governed above all by two principles: to express the unity of the Church, to participate in the means of grace”. These are two principles in tension among themselves, which therefore must be prudently connected: the first concerns communion with the Church; the second is the salvation of the believer. The first is more attentive to the external forum; the second, at the internal forum. In the first case justice is stressed, in the second case the mercy».

.

In this regard, as canon law underlines, the pastoral authority of the Episcopal Conference or of the individual diocesan bishop operates. In fact, the decree states:

.

«Regarding the concrete way of acting, having regard to all the circumstances of time, place and people, prudently decide the episcopal authority of the place».

.

The law guarantees the Church to meet the requests of separated brothers only in cases of serious urgency. The case that the applicant is the non-Catholic spouse is not at all contemplated. In fact, the situation of the Lutheran in danger of death, spouse or non-spouse, provided by law, is incomparable with that of the Lutheran spouse not in danger of death but in good physical health. The first, as it is supposed, is about to account to God for his life, while it is supposed that the latter has time and way to educate himself and correct himself on the sacrament of the Eucharist and to repent of his previous Lutheran conduct.

.

He Cardinal Kasper quotes the texts of the two encyclicals of John Paul II and says:

.

«To be one [1995] and Church of the Eucharist [2003] formulated a more advanced position which may be the interpretative norm of the canon in full harmony with the Second Vatican Council».

.

In the first of the two encyclicals of St. John Paul II, the number 24 we read:

«It is a source of joy to remember that Catholic ministers can, in special cases, administer the sacraments of the Eucharist, of Penance, of the anointing of the sick to other Christians. that they are not in full communion with the Catholic Church, but who ardently desire to receive them, to ask them freely and to show the faith that the Catholic Church confesses in these sacraments».

.

While in the second Encyclical of the same Pontiff, at n. 45, we read:

.

«If concelebration is not legitimate in the absence of full communion, the same does not happen with regard to the administration of the Eucharist, in particular circumstances, to individual persons belonging to Churches or Ecclesial Communities not in full communion with the Catholic Church: in this in fact, the goal is to provide for a serious spiritual need for the eternal salvation of the individual faithful».

.

And the Cardinal Kasper comments:

.

«The two encyclicals insist a great deal on the adhesion of the Protestant side to the Catholic doctrine on the Eucharist, that is, on “manifesting” the faith that the Catholic Church confesses”, to quote John Paul II himself. This seems very important, because the sacraments are sacraments of faith. For a true Lutheran, who is based on the confessional writings, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is obvious […] Certainly it is not possible to ask a Protestant what is normally required of a Catholics. Just believe: “This is (east) the body of Christ, given for you”. Luther has also insisted on this too. The more developed doctrines on transubstantiation or consubstantiation, even a “normal” Catholic faithful do not know them … ».

.

Confutation of the errors of Cardinal Kasper

.

In fact, the Cardinal falls into a frightful void of air, if «we can not ask a Protestant of what is normally requested by a Catholic», then we must say frankly to this Protestant who can not access the communion. Then, Cardinal Kasper’s plane crashes when he says: “Just believe:” This is (east) the body of Christ, given for you. “Luther also insisted on this: the more developed doctrines on the transubstantiation or the consubstantiation, even a “normal” faithful of the Catholic Church does not know them …».

.

But “believe” that dares? A Catholic who does not know and does not accept the dogma of transubstantiation is not a “normal” Catholic, but an ignorant Catholic, who must be urgently instructed, so that he does not fall into heresy and does not understand, as Saint Paul warns, that one must not eat the body unworthily. of the Lord, because he who does this «eat his own condemnation» [1 Color 11:29] In any case, if, as the Cardinal says, the Protestant truly believes in the words «this is the body of the Lord», pronounced by the priest at Mass, it means that he believes in transubstantiation. And if he believes in it, he can not continue to keep the Lutheran faith, he should say: «in this bread is the Lord». Then it will mean that he converted to Catholicism.

.

Then adds Kasper:

.

«If these people, in a fairly secularized context, are true believers who believe and are united in the same baptism and therefore are part of the one Church of Christ (though not in full communion), and are also bound in the same sacrament of marriage, and they represent the mystery of the union between Christ and his Church and live it, and they are together with their children a domestic church, it is normal that they feel the intimate desire to also share the Eucharist and the Eucharistic Faith, what prevents it?» [See Acts of the Apostles 7, 37; 10.47].

.

The texts of St. Paul are not at all consistent with the thesis of the cardinal because they deal with other questions. On the other hand, we know how demanding ecclesiology and the sacramental dogmatics of the Blessed Apostle Paul are, who do not ignore the inferior or imperfect degrees of ecclesial communion belonging to the catechumens, but when it comes to Eucharistic communion it requires full ecclesial communion, as can be seen with the same term “communion”.

.

Saint Paul is famous for his respect for the differences and for the values of the Greco-Roman culture, for the sense of the universality of the Gospel message and for his understanding of the weaknesses of human nature, for his ability to dialogue with everyone and look for the positive to be brought to Christ everybody.

.

Paul’s ecumenism, however, is not a game of misunderstanding, a silence about error rather than correcting it; it is not an inconclusive emptiness, like always standing on the threshold of the Church, never encouraging the brother to enter the sanctuary, but on the contrary it is a factor of authentic reciprocal reconciliation in Christ and in the Church under the guidance of Peter, always moved by a frank invitation to conversion and to accept the truth fully, is a powerful and warm invitation to deeply experience the mystery of Christ and his Church.

.

Regarding the Pope’s invitation to the Bishops to “find a common solution”, says Cardinal Kasper:

.

«I think the Pope gave a very wise response, remaining in full harmony with the idea of synodality of the Church, but he also stressed that on fundamental issues the majority is not sufficient from a canonical legal point of view, it requires unanimity» .

.

The Pope, in exhorting the Bishops to arrive at a “possible unanimity”, can not certainly nor have understood that they can grant communion in the sense intended by Cardinal Kasper, which would imply a profanation of the Eucharist, nor can it be understood that they must be agree with a simple majority vote, as they would like to interpret others, ready to accuse the Pope of irresponsibility, not being able to assess the seriousness of the problem because it acts politically, but certainly implies that the agreement must be based on Scripture, the tradition of canon law.

.

It can not be excluded that the discussion of the Bishops on this topic demonstrates a proposal to the Pope to change the current provisions on canon law, but always obviously in harmony with the requirements of the divine law, for which it can not be lawful to treat a brother which is not in full communion with the Church, and which does not intend to be so, as if it were in full communion with the Church which he himself refuses. Unlike the case of a Protestant who wishes to become a Catholic, as in the implicit case of a Protestant who asks for the sacraments in danger of death.

.

Cardinal Kasper continues his speech:

.

«I think of the admonition of the apostle Paul, examining oneself to see if we can eat and drink from the altar» [1 Color 11:26]. This warning is not only addressed to Protestants but also to Catholics, who must ask themselves: do I really believe in the Eucharistic mystery? Is my conduct of life in harmony with what is celebrated and is present in the Eucharist?

.

The Cardinal Kasper does not realize the difference between Catholics and Protestants. While in reality the Catholic can certainly make a sacrilegious communion, if he approaches the Eucharist in a state of mortal sin and without the necessary spirit, the Lutheran is deprived of the necessary provisions just as Lutheran, for which, save the case of good faith, if he does not remedy in advance removing these bad dispositions, but keeping them consciously and voluntarily, he can not fail to be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord in a way serious than the Catholic, who accepts the dogma of the Eucharist with all the truths of faith and the moral values that are connected and is in full communion with the Church, even if with that sacrilege, the Bad Catholic, compromises this communion and therefore must repair. However, unlike the Protestant, who remains only in a partial communion, the Catholic at least knows what he must do to recover the cracked communion, and of course he should do it.

.

Again Cardinal Kasper:

.

«If a Protestant participates in the Eucharistic celebration, listen to what we say in the Eucharistic prayer, we must ask ourselves: at the end of doxology we can truly respond with the whole assembly:” Amen, yes, I believe. “If you have heard that we mention the Pope and the bishop during the Holy Mass, which means that we celebrate in communion with him, then we must ask ourselves: “Do you really want this communion?».

.

I believe that if a Protestant, sincerely, in a Holy Mass does and believes all the things that Cardinal Kasper talks about, then he must ask himself whether he has not abandoned Lutheranism to become a Catholic. In this case it is certainly ready, available and admitted, after entering into the communion of the Catholic faith.

.

Continue by saying Cardinal Kasper:

.

«I have met many Protestants who have more esteem and often more love for the current Popes than those who have critical and skeptical Catholics».

.

Unfortunately, the estimate that many Protestants today have for the Pope has nothing to do with welcoming the supremacy of the Supreme Pontiff, infallible teacher of the doctrine of the faith, guardian of the «keys given to St. Peter the Apostle», supreme master of the faith , Custodian and Dispenser of the sacred Mysteries and Sacraments of salvation, Moderator of the Divine Liturgy. Their esteem is often motivated by purely human interests, by the simple fact that Pope Francis does not correct them in their errors and does not exhort them to convert to the Catholic Church. But if these Protestants read however what Pope Leo X or Saint Pius V, the Blessed Pius IX, Leo XIII or Saint Pius X said about Luther, I think they would change their opinion about the papacy.

.

On the other hand, it is true that some Catholics, too attached to the past and rebels at the Second Vatican Council, give a bad example of conduct towards the pope. But there are also those who turn to the Pope, with due respect, a legitimate critique, only to help him lead the Church, which is the People of God, guided by the Spirit and by Peter assisted by the college of the apostles.

.

We conclude these considerations by observing that the desire of the Lutheran spouse to receive communion must be taken seriously, but must be carefully examined, to verify that it is not dictated by psychological emotions, human sympathies and need for empathic sharing, by instinct of imitation, by the desire not to feel excluded or to become interesting, and other things like that.

.

The Protestant must be brought gradually and methodically to the Eucharist with adequate catechesis, so that they are removed, as the Unity Redintegration teaches [n. 3], all those “obstacles” that Luther has interposed, with his false reform.

.

In fact, the desire to make the Communion while remaining Lutheran has no sense and is an inconsistent attitude not to say schizophrenic and that has nothing to do with ecumenism. The lack of Lutheran ecclesiology, in fact, consists precisely in the absence of the noblest and supernatural factors of the ecclesial reality, such as the sacraments, among which the most sacred and the most divine of all is precisely the Eucharist, introduced by sacrament of Penance.

.

Therefore, if a Lutheran wants to approach the Communion sincerely, this must be the proven and clear sign that he wants to recover all those elements of the Church and all those elements of faith that Luther had destroyed and that are a precondition for the reception of the Eucharist; in other words, it will be a sign that he wants to be Catholic. And God be blessed for this heavenly inspiration!

.

The basic error of Cardinal Kasper’s theology

.

All of Cardinal Kasper’s argument is based on a serious vice of a gnoseological nature, which I illustrated in a paper of my forthcoming essay dedicated to the epistemology of Cardinal Kasper. The spy of this vice is given by the following words:

.

«Certainly theological principles are always valid, but their concrete application is not done in a deductive and mechanical way. If we did, it would be the heresy of gnosis, which is rightly denounced by the present Pope».

.

It is the method of rational deduction both, speculative and moral, that for Cardinal Kasper is not founded on the objectivity of reality and truth, but on the «modern principle of subjectivity», that is, on the Cartesian cogito «for which man he becomes aware of his freedom as autonomy and makes it a starting point, a measure and a means for an entire conception of reality»[cf. Jesus the Christ, Queriniana Ed., 1981, pag. 253]. Consequently, Cardinal Kasper continues: «a God who is now thought within the horizon of subjectivity can no longer be understood as the supreme Being, most perfect and immutable», for which we need a «de-substantialization of the concept of God».

.

Therefore, for Kasper, as for Hegel, being identifies with becoming, God becomes mute, and identifies with history: the Absolute is not above history, but in history, according to the title of one of his studies on Schelling. Hence the mutability of human nature and the moral law, as already denounced Saint Pius X in his encyclical Feeding of Dominic's Sheep.

.

Now the Cartesian cogito contains in itself, as the studies of Cornelio Fabro and Jacques Maritain show, the principle of Hegelian idealism and pantheism, as evidenced by a careful observation of the history of philosophy, and by the explicit reference to idealists and pantheists of Descartes. This means that the cogito already contains the principle of absolute knowledge of Hegel, which is precisely the most elaborate form of modern gnosticism.

.

If today there is therefore to be accused of someone of Gnosticism, this is precisely Cardinal Kasper and not the mechanism of logical deduction, which applies the moral principle in particular cases. The positive ecclesiastical law admits exceptions, but not the natural moral law, except in the case of the epic, where it is not properly an exception, but suspends the application of a lower law in the name of the application of a higher law. But the divine law never even admits epic.

.

The issue of the authorization of Communion to the Protestants is in fact responsibility of canon law, but the question is linked to dogmatics and ecclesiology, while Kasper, unfortunately, does not take these constraints into account and ends up approving Lutheran heresies.
