ABOUT SMANIA OF CERTAIN NEW PROCLAIM "SAINTS": COMMENTS ON THE THEOLOGY OF Teilhard de Chardin AND HIS POETIC DANGEROUS THOUGHT

.

His theology is not driven by a rigorous and lucid speculative commitment based on sound philosophical base, and it is scarce in the same understanding faith, on which prevails a lively poetic imagination. Born then purely subjective visions, emotional and imaginative, to the detriment not only of the correct philosophical reasoning, ma, what is worse, the same doctrine of the faith. In Teilhard de Chardin is a substantial lack of docility to the Magisterium of the Church, he presumptuously replaced by its imaginative subjective view. This is why some have spoken rightly, about him, of "gnosis".

Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. [1881-1981]

The information agency Vatican Insider reports:

.

"The plenary assembly of the Pontifical Council for Culture has overwhelmingly approved a proposal that must be brought to Pope Francis, It is asking you to contemplate whether it is possible to remove the Warning the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office on the works of Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. The petition was approved on Saturday 18 November during the proceedings of the meeting held on the theme "The future of humanity: new challenges to anthropology ". the proposal, as raised by the online newspaper SIR [Ed. cf. WHO], It is motivated as well: "We believe that such an act not only rehabilitate the genuine effort of the pious Jesuit, in an attempt to reconcile the scientific view of the universe with Christian eschatology, but also it represents a formidable stimulus for all theologians and scientists of good will to collaborate in the construction of a Christian anthropological model, following the directions of the encyclical Laudato si, naturally you place in the wonderful frame of the cosmos' " [See article Vatican Insider, WHO].

.

I must say that I support the initiative, I consider acceptable but with the necessary reservations about his motivation, so I would like to make some clarifications. First of all, it is not "rehabilitate" Teilhard de Chardin, as if that Warning the judge had erred and had to be corrected. It must be borne in mind that, when the Church condemns a doctrine that endangers the faith, can't be wrong, because it applies to that assistance of the Holy Spirit that Christ promised to Peter as the guardian of the truth of faith. And those who teach what the truth, It is obviously qualified to teach what is the opposite error.

.

But there are in Warning three pastoral-disciplinary aspects, which may be the subject of reserves, and then correction. Now, by order, we will see what:

.

First, care to preserve the seminarians by Teilhard errors it seems like a goal too limited: why worry only of seminarians and not even the teachers? Perhaps the ideas of Teilhard de Chardin did not cause even failures in academic circles?

.

Second, the tone of Warning, the 1962, understandably it reflects what until then had been the style of the Holy Office: limited to condemnation of errors, differently from what is the current procedure of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, which, having taken up the post-conciliar directives, accompanies the condemnation of the errors to the relief of the positive aspects of thought the author censored. But of course, of this fact you can not blame the Holy Office of the 1962, who, Dieting contemporary methods, He had simply done his duty.

.

However, what arouses true wonder - and this is the third observation, the most serious - is the fact that the condemnation of the errors remains on general and not precise what are the errors condemned, come of always instead it is customary in the Church and it is wise and necessary, to give way to precisely faithful to know from what evils you have to watch and, consequently, what are the appropriate care. So we must say frankly that we have a real defect, course of pastoral and not doctrinal, but it requires, already own, that the document is removed. And it was time, after so many contradictory and uncertain threads in these sixty years of which they are or are not the Teilhard de Chardin errors!

.

but be careful, because now there is an opposite danger the one that came from Warning. If this fact favored a harsh attitude towards Teilhard de Chardin without deciding the same time clearly the question, Now the risk is that of yet another subtle maneuver of the usual modernist, maneuver that is not hard to see behind the apparent homage to the Pope, expressed with refined hypocrisy in the petition. The modernists, indeed, under the pretext of respect for Teilhard, They hope the Pope to bite, merely remove the hated Warning accusing them, and everything ends there, for greater ease in continuing better spread their heresies, How do impunity from fifty. So, Needless to say very clearly that there is no question of "rehabilitate" doctrinally Teilhard. If the modernist dream of such a thing, if the take away immediately from the head. It deals with, instead, to correct pastoral attitude of Teilhard, treating it with greater justice and charity.

.

The Supreme Pontiff, in granting the removal of Warning, could and should, in my opinion, not to be mocked by the modernists, to test their sincerity, entrusting the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to publish a challenging doctrinal instruction knew Teilhard de Chardin, in which the praises for his merits are accompanied with a detailed list of the errors, What we are waiting unnecessarily from 1962. Then you will see if the drafters of the petition are animated by a sincere love for sound doctrine and the Church, and then by a true respect for Teilhard de Chardin, or they want to use him to continue to get away with it, although we do not know for how long.

.

I proceed now by presenting a list of possible theological errors of Teilhard de Chardin, on which you can not, nor should defer all, but rather bring greater clarity to.

.

  1. In Teilhard de Chardin it lacks the notion analog entity, which it allows to recognize the primacy and transcendence of spirit over matter.
  1. He therefore does not know how to conceive a pure spirit free from material. Because of this, for him God is so high spirit, but jointly is the maximum vertex of matter. It is a God material. The Scriptures speak of idolatry.
  1. For him, "God is the soul of the world": proposition pantheistic flavor. It confuses the relationship God-world with the soul-body relationship.
  1. His theology is the imaginary covering a substantial deification of the world.
  1. He wants to replace metaphysics, which is overcoming the physical to grasp the spiritual, with a "hyperphysicshis coinage ", which it is nothing but a fantastic increase of physics raised ("Evolved") the absolute.
  1. Based on these assumptions, Void is clear that the distinction between the natural order and the supernatural, being the grace, participation in divine life, pure spirit without matter.
  1. Based on these assumptions, the Holy Spirit should lead to an essential material component. That is evident heresy.
  1. It should be said against Teilhard de Chardin that the unity of God is not the union or synthesis of a multiplicity, but it is absolutely simple unity without composition. God divides and reassembles, but it is indivisible and reassembles what is divided.
  1. The Holy Trinity is not a "trinitization"God as an effect of its own internal movement of multiplication and reunification, but it is the same divine essence triune, unchangeable, no multiple and unmultipliable.
  1. God creates the world not in the sense of unifying assumed an infinite multiplicity of material coexisting with Him from eternity, but in the sense of creating the same multiplicity of nothing. God is not only the authorizing officer of the world, but because of its existence. When God created the world, He had nothing beside Him and independently of Him, but it created everything, creature of the single unit and the multiplicity of entities and from nothing.
  1. Nothingness is not something possible or practicable, that tends to being or needs to be, but it is a simple non-being. Designing for nothing in this direction is arbitrary imagination and does not correspond to the biblical concept of nowhere, from which God draws the be.
  1. It has not existed or may have existed from eternity, next to God and independently of Him, a pure infinite multiplicity as pure numerical quantities without the multiplicity of the respective entities, because the amount of the substance is accident and does not exist alone without its substance.
  1. So a pure multiplicity no corresponding subject can not be real, but it is a purely abstract entity and imaginary. The truth is that God, creating the world, does not simply an abstract unified preexisting multiplicity, but it created a real multiplicity of nowhere, which, however, it was not previously to eternity a pure multiplicity no real subjects, because otherwise it could not even be real, but it was and is created as a real and concrete multiplicity of individual institutions, because the multiplicity of real accident and substances.
  1. God is not essentially and necessarily connected to the world, but it is completely independent. It does not need the world to complete its essence. His creative act in the world is entirely free and he could very well exist alone without the world, because He is infinite Perfection, absolutely self-existent and self-sufficient.
  1. Because of this, Also the Incarnation of the Word and the Redemption by Christ were free and gratuitous acts of merciful love of the Father for the salvation of sinful man.
  1. If God is the summit of the world, the divine nature of Christ is the apex of human nature and it falls into heresy.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin admits in Christ "a third nature, it would be neither human nor divine, but cosmic "[1]. That is clearly a heretic.
  1. It gave, creating the world, It has not only created bodies that would evolve until the spirit level, but together with the bodies (visible), also created pure spirits, ie the angels (invisible).
  1. Teilhard de Chardin recognizes that the spirit is superior to matter, and it is right in saying that the matter evolves out in preparation for the creation of the spirit. However, He does not say clearly that the matter can only be a condition of existence of the spirit (the man), but it can not become spirit nor can cause the existence.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin overlooks the fact that the spirit can exist without material subject: It gave, the angel and the human soul separate from the body after death, while the matter can not exist or exist alone or by itself without its substantial form, that gives shape, so as to constitute in conjunction with her the material substance, composed of matter and form. He seems so confusing the matter with the material substance, which it is composed of matter and form.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin denies the human soul creation directly from God, stating mediation of matter: "The soul is created by means of materiality"[2].
  1. It is true that the material substance, ie the body, changes over time, It evolves and turns naturally tending to elevate its nature with bringing it closer to the spirit. But the body can not become spirit, because becoming physical or processing or bodily evolution involve the fact that a material changes shape, but remains matter with a form. Why become spirit, ie pure form subsisting without matter, It should disappear as a subject: which in fact it does not happen.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin is right to claim that matter and body are actually true and what good, date, innocent, useful, beneficial, not contrary to the spirit and not the enemy. God is the one and the other creator. But it errs in assuming that matter can become spirit (see previous issue.): would overstate the matter to the detriment of the loftiness of spirit over matter and fall into materialism, ie in the deification of matter.
  1. The deep, immutable and inescapable ontological difference and essential (visible and invisible) between matter and spirit is not a sign of division or conflict between them, but it is the effect of divine wisdom creator, without separating distinguishes and unites without confusing.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin seems to have taken account of the fact that among the material things and spiritual things is so different, but also similarity and analogy, in their common membership to reality, so that the human reason, starting from the experience of visible things, It can rise by analogy to the knowledge of spiritual things, and even of God (Sap 13,5; RM 1, 19-20). However, he realized that the experimental science leads to theology.
  1. It is not clear in Teilhard de Chardin, the distinction between living and nonliving. It should be said that the evolution from non-living to living was made possible thanks to the omnipotence of the Divine Creator, then not in the sense that the inanimate bodies contained originally already by itself and in itself life in a latent state, because this is pure imagination and does not correspond to the experience.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin is right in saying, come Darwin, that the species of living beings in the course of evolution were transient and were not fixed, but they have changed into one another, to higher and higher species, until it reaches the threshold of the human species, but without crossing, except perhaps thanks to the divine creative power.
  1. It is not documented by science that an animal can generate a man, although it is not metaphysically impossible. So it is not documented with certainty that man is descended from monkeys, if anything, they can have common genes. It should also be noted against Teilhard de Chardin that what we know by divine revelation on this topic, It is that all mankind originated, thanks to an act divine creator, a single pair in paradise place on earth.
  1. It's not impossible, but it is extremely unlikely and totally undesirable that the primitive couple Edenic, equipped with, according to the biblical revelation, of very high spiritual perfection, It was generated by a pair of monkeys in paradise.
  1. From science we know that the earth had originated long before humans, and that this appearance was preceded by monkey. But to this day it has never been shown that at some point the monkey has begun to generate men. And it is impossible, however, the existence of an intermediate living between man and monkey, because the human soul is not the result of an evolution, ma, It is a simple spiritual form, or there is all or not there.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin neglects the fact that the species or human nature or essence of man is fixed and immutable, why it, while allowing a certain "christogenesis”, It is not a transient stage of evolution, one stage of the cosmic become exceeded and surmountable, After becoming a precedent and start to become a more, but it is "fixed end of eternal counsel", because it is created in the image and likeness of God, it did not become and will not become.
  1. With everything, Teilhard de Chardin is right to claim that man must progress towards Christ and that Christ ("Christ Omega") drew has sé. But the human and Christian progress is not change in the nature or essence, and therefore the moral law which guides, but it is progress, increase, development, strengthening and growth of the powers of a subject that keeps the same nature, always in obedience to the same law.
  1. The moral law, so, It is not subject to evolution, but it can and should be getting better known and applied. The preservation of perennial values ​​is therefore the condition of real progress.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin is right in saying that God moves and intentionally finalistically the universe according to an upward trend from matter to spirit, whose purpose and supreme and unsurpassable summit is Jesus Christ. He recognizes that the efficient cause is moved from the final cause. However, It overlooks the fact that Christ is not simply the top and end of man and the world ("Cosmic Christ" as "Point Omega"), ma, as God, infinitely it transcends and has created out of nothing.
  1. According to the data of faith, the history of man does not consist in the fact that God unifies evolutionarily and gradually over time the manifold, so that at the end of all mankind is in communion with God (“pleromization”), but it shows the mercy of God, that exalts the humble, and his righteousness, that breaks down the proud.
  1. It is contrary to the faith to believe that every man will let attract by God, so that everyone is saved. On the contrary, by virtue of free will and the choices of each, there is who receives the divine mercy and is saved and there is one who refuses and is damned.
  1. According to the data of faith, the primitive couple were created in a state of high physical perfection, moral and spiritual, superior, for some aspects, that achieved today by the human species, though wounded by original sin. It therefore seems highly unlikely, although not impossible, God has given birth to the Edenic pair of parents monkeys.
  1. What is quite likely however that appears, in punishment for sin, the primitive couple, expulsion from Paradise on this miserable earth, I have taken an ape-like appearance. That is confirmed by the findings paleoanthropological, studied by Teilhard de Chardin, which testify with clarity upward evolution of the human form simian progressed to that of today's man. In this field of knowledge he undoubtedly has its merits.
  1. Sin has not simply originated from our wickedness, but it has a historical much deeper, that is the original sin committed by our first parents, whose fault, transmitted for generation, infected all humanity and is taken away by Baptism expiation thanks to the sacrifice of Christ.
  1. The sin is not a simple inevitable and negligible accident of evolution path towards the best, almost malriuscito or waste product in the production chain to a thriving industry, however,, but evil act of disobedience to God, subsequent to original sin, that makes the man fall into a misery that, from which it only raises the cross of Christ, which therefore radically it frees us from sin delivering us from its consequences, that the loss of grace, the pains of this life and the tendency to sin.
  1. polygenism is incompatible with the Christian faith, saying that mankind originated from a single pair, and that the original offense, committed by this pair, It has been transmitted from generation to this pair to all mankind. Only the Blessed Virgin Mary was preserved from this guilt.
  1. The previous history of the earth to man's creation and the Garden of Eden, as it is apparent from paleontology, It presents an unsuitable environment for human life, and therefore seems to be to relate, both with the sin of the angels, although both foreshadowed, with the consequences of original sin. In fact, the Edenic universe was perfectly under the dominion of man.
  1. The laws of nature on earth, object of science, given that regulate a hostile nature, harmful and dangerous for us, Although laws laid down by the Creator, beside beneficial laws, clearly represent, eyes of faith, a fallen nature from Edenic condition, as a punishment for sin (Gen 3, 17-19). Teilhard de Chardin seems to disregard this fact testified by the Bible.
  1. The sufferings of this life and the hostility of nature to us are not necessary moments in the evolution proceeds, are not just opportunities to take it forward, but are the consequences of original sin and also of our sins, that serve to join the redemptive cross of Christ.
  1. For Teilhard de Chardin Christ does not suffer to atone for our sins, but only to strengthen us and guide us in the suffering necessary for our ultimate fulfillment.
  1. The opposition and enmity between the "flesh" and "spirit", which speaks St. Paul the Apostle, They were not originally desired by God, but are a consequence of original sin and the Christian ethics leads to their reconciliation. Because of this, Christian asceticism order, under certain circumstances, know how to give up the pleasure of the body, not to lose the joys of the spirit.
  1. The excessive and indiscreet concern of Teilhard de Chardin to consider flesh and spirit as one, It raises fears of lax ethics and hedonistic, caused by the fact that, under the pretext of unity between spirit and flesh, the human subject, Prone in this life, following the original sin, to be dominated by passions, neglect the moral effort for the spirit over the flesh domain.
  1. "We declare," - says Teilhard de Chardin [3] - "to construct a conceivable future of the human species towards which could both stretch the communism that rationalism and Christianity". This statement smacks of duplicity and is irreconcilable with the Christian's duty to testify publicly his faith.
  1. The Church is not the apex of humanity evolving, but it is the community of God's children living in grace.
  1. The fact that the Church constantly progresses towards the Parousia does not mean that all members of the Church may progress equally. Some progress and some people downgrades or stops.
  1. The life of grace and divine sonship are not simply the evolution of man summits, but a divine life than the simple human life.
  1. The matter of the sacrament of the Eucharist is not the world ("Mass on the World"), but the bread and wine specially prepared for the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass.
  1. Teilhard de Chardin argues that the Eucharistic transubstantiation does not matter only the bread, but it is completed in "transubstantiation of the world" [4]. In this way it falls into a clear idolatric falsification of the Eucharist.
  1. The Eucharistic transubstantiation of the Mass does not take place in the course of cosmic evolution, as believe Teilhard de Chardin, but when the celebrant pronounces the words of consecration of the bread and wine.
  1. Christ is not only the world's top evolving ("Cosmic Christ"), but first and foremost is the Son of God the Creator and Savior of the world.
  1. The Eucharistic Communion is not communion with the "cosmic Christ", but with the body and blood of the Lord under the Eucharistic species.
  1. It is true that in the Mass the celebrant consecrates himself to God with the Church. But we must not confuse this consecration cult, which it is a simple act of the virtue of religion, consequent to the consecration Eucharistic Bread and Wine, and its effect and purpose, with the same consecration of bread and wine, which act by which the priest, in persona Christi, the transubstantiation, which is the principle, reason and because of the cultic consecration.
  1. Christ at the end of the world is not welcome in the glory of the whole of humanity reached the apex of evolution (“pleromization”), why not all men want, but "will separate the sheep from the goats" (cf. Mt 25,32), ie welcome the right, while the reprobates will turn away from Him.

the omega point did finally match by Teilhard de Chardin with the Risen Christ

It Padre Pierre Teilhard de Chardin It seems animated by a strong religious and mystical fervor, Christological in nature, with the laudable intention of harmonizing apologetic experimental science with the science and technology. His christocentrism, But, it appears immanentistic, while exaggerated is the exaltation of matter, the world and evolution, with prejudice to spiritual transcendence and God himself.

.

His theology is not driven by a rigorous and lucid speculative effort based on solid philosophical base, and it is scarce in the same understanding faith, on which prevails a lively poetic imagination. Born then purely subjective visions, emotional and imaginative, to the detriment not only of the correct philosophical reasoning, ma, what is worse, the same doctrine of the faith.

.

the omega point to the new ortogenesis

In Teilhard of Chardin there is a substantial lack of docility to the Magisterium of the Church, he presumptuously replaced by its imaginative subjective view. This is why some have spoken rightly, about him, of "gnosis".

.

It also has the impression of a kind of substitution of poetry to theology. But it is a dangerous poetry, this his, because it does not simply express the Word of God with poetic images - something quite legitimate and useful -, ma replaces personal with fantastic creations. Rightly, Jacques Maritain speaks of theology-fiction [5] or what has been called fantatheology. It's no wonder that Teilhard de Chardin confuse intellect with imagination, because he himself theorizes: "The thought is feeling transformed ' [6].

.

Remove the This orientation, without clarifying this "dangerous thought", or if you want ... "dangerously poetic", may create more dangers, especially then in a quite delicate moment like the one we are experiencing today in the Church and ecclesiastical level.

The Supreme Pontiff who is not a province but a quartierale, when he "confirms his brothers in the faith" he is always ignored by secular newspapers and heretical theologasters

THE POPE WHO IS NOT A PROVINCIAL BUT A QUARTIERALE, WHEN 'CONFIRMS THE BROTHERS IN FAITH "IS ALWAYS IGNORED BY NEWSPAPERS AND THE secularists TEOLOGASTRI HERETICS.

.

The Pope Francis I is not a provincial, It is a quartierale. The latter term does not exist in the proper lexicon, I invented I, more so I provide the necessary explanations: quartieralismo is the worst of provincialism, because the quartierale is a person associated with psycho-social level to the neighborhood of a specific city or urban environment. The problems are so huge and incalculable damage, when it is required to submit to the size of the Catholic universality quartieralismo.

Dear Friend,

but by chance, the Holy Father, perhaps he reads our articles and then gives some of his homilies? You know how it is, Sometimes coincidences are a bit’ too many …

Ah, If this man were not surrounded by snakes, what it could do! Sometimes, He seems to me like the poor man who comes to the restaurant last, animated by the best and most honest intentions, but it does not even take a small appetizer, because it just gets inside is beset by management that have to foot the bill for what they have eaten all the others came for lunch and dinner before him. And we know very well how this, humanly, It is not fair.

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, immortalized in that its quartierale dimension from which it has never moved and now demands applied to the whole Church, in which the particular should never be applied to the universal

The Supreme Pontiff Francis I is a complex personality, a man who does not fail to be convoluted and ambiguous. But how many times we wrote everything must be analyzed the sphere of the precise psychology. But to do that you have to start from a fundamental fact: each of us, including Popes, It possesses magnitudes and limits. All of us are burdened with the merits and de-merits, private vices and public virtues. This applies to all, including saints who are models of heroic virtue, but which they were not perfect. All this also applies to the Roman Pontiff, Successor of the Blessed Apostolo Pietro that - as I have often said and repeated in several of my writings -, in terms of limitations and inadequacies, He did not miss anything. but yet, just as his first Supreme Predecessor, the rock on which Christ everlasting rock, he built his Church, the reigning Pontiff could die as a saint and tomorrow also be a model of heroic virtues, despite all his human imperfections.

In one of my past articles I defined the reigning Pontiff a "argentinocentrico» [cf. article in the 2015, WHO], without missing him respect, let alone insolentirlo. With this expression wanted to give a precise definition psychological, to which I now add another: the reigning Pontiff, It is not a provincial, but it is a quartierale. The latter term does not exist in the proper lexicon, I invented I, more so I provide the necessary explanations: the quartieralismo is worse provincialism, because the quartierale is a person associated with psycho-social level to the neighborhood of a specific city or urban environment.

How many of you have read, to avert the probable appointment of S.It is unhappy. Mons. Nunzio Galantino the Archbishop of Naples, recently I have self-appointed Metropolitan Archbishop of the ancient Partenope [cf. WHO], where as I explained in my self-nomination, You had better send me, instead of a subject doctrinally and pastorally problematic as the Secretary General of the Italian Episcopal Conference, or even other worst done.

In a large and complex city like Naples, that still, at the level both historically and sociologically, It remains one of the great capitals of Europe - in fact, remember that Naples was the capital of a kingdom -, the quartieralismo is part of the psycho-social structure, just like in Buenos Aires, or as in other great capitals or megacities, consider, for example in Mexico City, whose metropolitan area has over twenty-five million inhabitants.

If a Neapolitan meets outside his city another Neapolitan, in making the knowledge of his fellow citizen who is saying he has to be Neapolitan, first asks him: "of Naples, where is that, may be?». Indeed, the large and complex Napoli, which it is a unified city, internally it is made up of many cities within a city. In Naples there are neighborhoods that are real cities in themselves, which they differ from other districts even in the dialect peculiarities, the uses, of customs and traditions.

The man Jorge Mario Bergoglio It is deeply attached and rooted in a precise and particular neighborhood reality of Buenos Aires, this thing that makes it more of a provincial closed. Needless to say what problems and damage can produce quartieralismo in what should be a Catholic universal dimension. Indeed, subdue the universal to the particular, at best it ends up creating a great imbalance.

The man Jorge Mario Bergoglio did not hesitate to show to Rome - which is the heart of the universality of the Church and leading historically enclosed within itself the best of the best in the centuries acquired by all the ancient civilizations -, the worst prejudices widespread in Latin America, but you pay attention: not spread by Latin Americans, but the Germans barbarians who used this continent as a place of experimentation and incubation of the worst historicisms, sociologisms and teologismi, being able to benefit from these barbarians, for such misdeeds, economic resources that the German Catholic Church derive from their opulent wealth. That said it is not clear why, just that the pontiff that he at once praised the poor Church for the poor, I never even raised a timid sigh on the opulent wealth of his - and let's face it! – “Teutonic voters”, who do not hesitate even to deny the sacraments to the faithful who are not in compliance with the payment of religious taxes to the German Catholic Church, only to then play the sacrilegious concelebrations “ecumeniche” and the inter-Eucharistic communion with the Lutherans. And here it must be remembered that the Eucharistic celebration with non-Catholic ministers of worship who do not have apostolic succession and do not recognize the priesthood as a sacrament fall within the category of sERIOUS oFFENSES, This is something that is of no interest to Germans and various Northern Europeans who have been practicing it for decades in the disregard of Rome, which knows but remains silent.. To this end we remember that it constitutes more serious offences the "Forbidden concelebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice with ministers of ecclesial communities which do not have apostolic succession, not recognize the sacramental dignity of priestly ordination " (See. Code of Canon Law, can. 908).

The man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, bacchettare loves the Italian episcopate speaking more or less in private with his various interlocutors, the "princes bishops with whom no reasoning ', or to those "principles bishops before whom my hands are tied". E, in saying this, shows that he is unaware that his time recriminati "princes bishops', if you really want to find them all over their most arrogant and above all snooty "splendor", He must look for them among his electors of Germany, where after false pretenses of progressivism, opening, ecumenism and various doctrinal svecchiamenti, not only you will always find the bishops-principles, but the bishops find colonizers in Barbaresco so conquered and then impose their own rules of the game, from Cardinal Clàudio Hummes of Brazil devastated, who are trying, making use also of their ideological quartierale spirit - namely the lack of clergy in the Amazon region of Brazil -, to impose the universal Church married priests, obviously … to experiment. And we who are not exactly poor suckers know very well what things then turn into to experiment, because now we have half a century of experience behind devastated, some things to experiment then it becomes much more untouchable the great dogmas of the Catholic faith.

All this makes the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio unbalanced and unable to formulate polishes judgments, that is not able to formulate closed not for bad faith, but for lack of historical knowledge. And all this makes him - that should be the supreme master of impartiality -, a partial subject and humoral.

To circumvent, or as they say fooled a subject of this kind, the game is very simple: pretend to believe that his quartierale size is right and highest good for the Church. Consequently he will elect these very dangerous subjects as his trusted figures. Once they have entered into his good graces, these people - who I have personally defined several times as "authentic criminals" - will lock him up in a cage, without him even noticing, given that another of the characteristics of man Jorge Mario Bergoglio is its objective narrowness, particularly severe referred by its quartieralismo that leads him to treat the universal Church as if it were a special district of Buenos Aires.

The quartieralismo leads man Jorge Mario Bergoglio to a dangerous lack of historical and socio-religious analysis, with its ecclesial and pastoral problems of no small importance, especially when it is a few themes that are dear, but unfortunately could return - as in this case I have often said - in the sphere of real obsessive compulsive disorders. That means: poor, migrants and refugees.

The reigning Pope has in fact given ample proof in its so-called utterances or speeches to arm, not to understand that you can not talk about immigrants with categories related to reality, stories and memories of a context everything Argentine. Moreover - more importantly -, of memories tied to an even very old context, because it anchored to the migration of the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century.

Taking then a dangerous confusion between migrants and refugees, the reigning Pontiff seems to take into account that in his country of origin, immigrants, They were almost entirely all from a Christian-Catholic culture. E, among the few things put at the start inside their poor suitcases, there were holy pictures or statues of santi patroni revered Anthony of Padua in the Veneto and Justina, those of the revered patron of the Piedmont Giovanni Bosco and Mary Help of Christians, the venerated martyrs Sicilian Agata and Lucia, the patron saint of Palermo Rosalia, the revered saint of Calabria Francesco da Paola ...

… how can, the reigning Pontiff, to confuse all this with the Islamic hordes that for years and years, Hidden behind the migration of people to the vast majority do not run away at all from wars, persecution and famine, Europe come increasingly dechristianized programmed to aim to conquer and colonize? Because maybe it's good that someone, to the reigning Pontiff, explain in great historical, sociological and, not last, also pastoral, that while in Argentina and various other Latin American countries, immigrants, once they become paid workers gave offerings to the local diocese for the building of churches dedicated to their revered saints and holy, in Europa, Muslims settlers hidden behind the apparent guise of refugees and migrants, with the money of Saudi Arabia and Qatar they are building mosques next to our increasingly empty parish churches, while the wicked of that rag of Future praise the soli juice, soli juice !

Not then tap another painful and complex speech, that linked to the poor and poverty. Why is the reality of poverty, is the concept of poverty, in our European social contexts it is not comparable to that in some countries of Latin America. Or maybe the reigning Pontiff has ever seen in Italy or other countries in Europe, such as in Brazil and not only, of abandoned children below the age of ten living in herds in the metropolitan sewers, giving themselves to robberies and even murders?

The category of poverty and poor, in our countries it is quite different. Or maybe someone is able to indicate, for example in a country like ours Italy, the poor starving, of abandoned children walking barefoot in the street, of the elderly who die ill sheltered behind an overpass without any kind of healthcare? Because it is good for someone to document to the reigning Pontiff that outside the homes of our "poor" Italians there are satellite dishes and inside them we almost always find the most useless and expensive technological instruments. And when they present themselves at the Caritas to ask that he will pay the electricity bill, after spending all their money to play scratch cards&Vinci ed al super-enalotto, from the pockets pull out the phones of the latest generation more expensive. And we want to perhaps speak of the "poor" who come to Caritas directly with their cars to put the basic necessities in the trunk? And what about the young professional beggars, with their full force of perfect physical health, that instead of looking for a job prefer to bother all the parish priests of the city to ask for money?

I belong to a Catholic culture of European origin, I am not a Calvinist or a Mormon from the United States of America who considers poverty to be a punishment from God, but my poor brain it works well enough to understand and take notice of a fact upon which you should not be silent: many real or presumed poor are not poor due to the "ungrateful society", the "infamous governments", the "failing state", to the point of even "bad luck" and "bad luck" ... many are "poor" because they are totally incapable of managing money, others because they really don't want to work, while he is sheltering behind the "drama of unemployment '. How many of these "poor" are, for example ex-traders went belly up because, just cashed money, instead of taking into account that the first things the penalty to be paid are the employees, of suppliers and taxes, leaving employees without pay, of suppliers they did not pay taxes and not poured, but though they went to buy an extra car model to the luxury Mercedes dealership, while his wife and children were going to do shopping Ultra designer clothing in the more expensive boutiques? And you know, then, what do these former traders who inexorably failed and ended up in the middle of the street have to say? This: that "in Italy you can not live and work", because "taxes" - which incidentally they never paid for but always evaded - "eat you all», because of a state that is "a robber". It is not uncommon to discover, behind this kind of whiny poor who say they are victims of the entire cosmic universe, of those who in their lives have burned splendid opportunities or business social arrangement that many others have never had, although these deeply seconds lead decent lives despite their great economic hardship, without doing the rounds of the parish priests to beg to pay an electricity bill, but then going to spend what they have collected in lottery tickets.

Even in this case it is worth referring to the ingenuity and true Neapolitan genius, even because, since I got elected Archbishop of Naples, I love bringing such this city where, not a few people, to be able to meet their needs they are capable of even inventing jobs that don't exist. Some examples: do the valets of nonexistent parking, do the paid tour guides without permission, sell on stalls without a license and without paying taxes on public land, if anything, even taking in some backroom splint of contraband cigarettes. And not only that all these things are illegal, but also precise offenses. It finished the day, these people bring the so-called bread at home. It deals with, as I repeat, of businesses not strictly lawful and non-regular jobs. But in front of these people I put my beaver winter saturn out of my head - the one that the reigning Pontiff likes so much -, instead of trying at the same time a sense of disgust and perhaps even contempt towards all those who prefer to go whining to beg from one church, declaring themselves victims of an "ungrateful society", the "infamous governments", the "failing state", until you get to "bad luck" and the "bad luck". I will never give a cent to this kind of people, while the parking attendant and abusive all'ambulante we look for the not exactly legal maneuvers to gain the day, I am even capable of buying a carton of contraband cigarettes and then giving it as a gift to a craftsman who works illegally without a license; all decent people much of the professionals around beggars for our churches the pastors are always inevitable Obtuse subscribers that rag of Future ready to pay him lottery tickets, presented as electricity bill they can not pay.

In his homily Tuesday 21 November 2017 the Holy Father dealt with very delicate topics related to "ideological colonizations" [cf. text, WHO]. And he did it in such a profound and high doctrinal and pastoral way that it makes one wonder: we are dealing with a psychology borderline?

As a man of faith, as a priest and theologian, I think I'm quite able to distinguish a person acting affected by disease borderline, by a person who acts on impulse instead of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, the problems arise because certain hordes of Neocatechumenal, charismatic and possessed of Renewal in the Holy Spirit, confuse their spirit borderline with the so-called divine motions, by passing their psychopathology or their neurosis more or less severe obsessive, as revelations or imperatives of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity.

The homily in question It is part of the actions and gifts of grace of the Holy Spirit who spoke through the Successor of the Blessed Apostolo Pietro, that with extraordinary precision he has shown there between the lines:

  1. the condemnation of modernism;
  2. the condemnation of religious syncretism;
  3. the condemnation of transformation;
  4. the condemnation of false news;
  5. sentencing dell'uniformismo maverick.

Praising at the same time:

  1. the Defense of Tradition;
  2. fidelity to the law;
  3. Recall the absoluteness of the moral law;
  4. the duty to preserve the deposit of faith.

All this could displace modernist lobby maybe run for cover if anything making announce The Republic what the Pope did not say, or to pass through the top and infallible teaching some of his ill-timed joke made in private arm a few people leaving the cafeteria Domus Sanctae Martha.

In this splendid homily remain two precise points that the Pope should clarify, if he did not have Cardinal Walter Kasper and Archbishop Manuel Fernández as his theologians of reference.

First Step: We should not talk about “my faith” and of “your faith”, because true faith is one and the same for everyone: It is mine and it is yours. If I am in the truth and you're wrong, I need not tell you: "you have another faith and I respect it" ‒ as in the poisonous style of the false ecumenism of Walter Kasper and similar ‒, but it is my duty and imperative of conscience to correct you by error, because it is precisely for this reason that we are Pope and all of us are Cardinals, Bishops and Priests. Otherwise, the Catholic faith is no longer absolute Truth and the Word of God, addressed to everyone and a duty for everyone, for the salvation of all, it is just a fallible, subjective and relative human opinion. Otherwise you run the risk of falling into relativism and indifferentism.

Second point: the fact that the truth of faith is one and that it should be equal for all, It is not monotonous and flat uniformism, but it is logical necessity, because faith is an objective and universal truth, and it is required by faith itself ["One faith", Ef 4,5]. However, this does not in any way prevent the differences, but the bases and the legitimate, otherwise there would be pluralism, but chaos, just as it is happening today in the Church, where those who until yesterday shouted "more dialogue" and "collegiality more», under this pontificate they have created a real dictatorship of the Soviet regime, even worse, worthy of the small Korean dictator.

Meditating on this homily, I have come to a conclusion: the Holy Spirit is certainly making a great effort to operate on man Jorge Mario Bergoglio and through man Jorge Mario Bergoglio; but since the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the Successor of the Blessed Apostolo Pietro, which enjoys such a very special care by the Holy Spirit, behold, albeit with difficulty, occasionally the Holy Spirit succeeds, if anything, taking him when he is tired or when it is thoughtfully, and especially in the very important things. Just as he succeeded with that sensational and limited blockhead, This was put to the test and according to the most accurate historical accounts of Santi Vangeli and the Acts of the Apostles Blessed Apostolo Pietro, that he was not elected by a conclave, but with all its more obvious limitatezze he was chosen by Christ, God himself [cf. Mt 16, 13-20], never forget, when in a respectful and legitimate way we mention the objective limitations of a Roman Pontiff whom we venerate and whom we truly love. And this is the exact opposite of ruffians in Business Today, to become bishops and cardinals, the same way as low-level whores that you grant to drunken sailors, cry so fake, hypocritical and calculated: «poor, poverty and soli juice !». Least of the reigning Pope is revered and loved by the army of cowards bishops today are silent "cautious", considering it with cynical clericalism that now he has already passed the eighty, expect him to go to the Creator and then go out again into the open and jump on the new bandwagon, because none of them interested in the good of the Church, but only the good of their careers. And I fear that these seconds, Today bowing their part in a spirit of calculated silence, But charging more and more poison day after day, Tomorrow will unfortunately our new directors, so that from bad it can go even worse, when it inevitably will change wind.

former Master General of the Order of Friars Preachers, Father Timothy Radcliff, o.p.

Having remained perplexed by various answers, sent me a text the reader an interview done by Alain Elkann to Father Timothy Radcliffe, former Master General of the Order of Preachers, to which I belong, asking me for an opinion in this regard [cf. interview on The Print, WHO].

.

I liked some things he said, as the importance of love for the truth and for silence, the beauty of faith in its relationship with reason, fraternal Dominican life, that every man is made to reach God and then called to salvation and the peaceful coexistence of the faithful of the various religions. I do not feel instead of sharing some of his statements, I quote here with my observations about. Do a number of the words of Father Timothy Radcliffe, and below I put my comments.

.

  1. Asked interviewer: "You think all religions are means to achieve the same place?"Father Timothy Radcliffe responds: "I'd be happy to say, but it is beyond our comprehension ".

.

I would have responded stating that all religions are more or less imperfect human means to reach God. But only the Catholic Christian religion is the highest among all, because it was founded by the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Unique and perfect Mediator, That tells us that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

.

  1. "The wars are part of human history and war using every means to win, much nationalism as religion. It is not correct to say that religion is the source of war. I would say that humans have cultivated violence using religion to impose it or to justify it ".

.

I observe that Father Timothy Radcliffe It makes a false generalization. The war may have a right end: for instance, homeland defense, the liberation of an oppressed people, the felling of a tyrannical regime, the recapture of territory occupied by the enemy, liberation from oppression of Christians by Islamic or communist.

.

Do not confuse violence with the proper use of force. Violence is wrong and is being punished by civil and military code; the proper use of force is an act of fortitude that can reach heroism and is the principle of military valor, worthy of the greatest honor. Contempt or indiscriminate condemnation of war as such, without distinguishing the right one from that unjust, It is a sign of mood petty, falsamente peace at the last e-hearted?, which eventually leads to tolerate the arrogant oppress the weak and leave them defenseless. The defense of religion can justify a war, as it happened, for example, at the Battle of Lepanto or wars narrated in the Old Testament Israel, although it is true that religion can be a pretext concealing greed for power or desire to dominate, as was the war of princes against the Lutheran Church to take possession of Church property.

.

Is not it, therefore, Karl Marx thought come, that wars are always made for material interests, and that those ideals serve only to cover the first. This idea is a sign of narrow-minded soul and barbaric, who does not understand that man is not a beast, but he holds the honor, to justice and the right.

.

You notice in the pacifist ideas of Father Timothy Radcliffe rationalist utopianism and naive and at the end, beyond the intentions, dangerous and warmongering, typical of Rousseau and the Enlightenment Masonic, which considers a "human nature" prepared at the table, taken abstractly and originally "good", regardless of its dramatic historical condition, subsequent to original sin, nature instead needs to be disciplined and braking, if necessary, even with severity. Indeed, revealed by experience, humanity with the sole force of reason and will not be able to correct deviations and to implement fully, through appropriate negotiations and policy actions, Justice and peace, moreover, in a purely earthly perspective, but it needs the help of grace, as the history of Christian civilization and the Church.

.

  1. "I'm a big fan of Pope Francis, It is making wonders advancing the Church in a more relaxed and less centralized. Of course, meets resistance, but there is driving toward freedom and spontaneity, managing to get in touch with each community ".

.

From the manner in which Father Timothy Radcliffe qualifying himself against the Roman Pontiff, - "Papa Francesco fans" - as if it were a movie star or a sports champion, it is understood that the visual evidence under which he places himself to consider and evaluate the performance of the Pope, It is totally inadequate and misleading, It is a gross superficiality and wonder a lot in a Dominican who was head of the Order for almost ten years.

.

For this reason the Father Timothy Radcliffe judgment on Pope It is completely false and clearly denotes that he comes from the deleterious modernist-liberal-Masonic environment, and with the greatest cunning and very heavy economic and media resources, for some time now exerts, towards the Successor of Peter, fine as dirty and shameless work of flattery and feigned devotion, which unfortunately does not fail to produce a certain effect on the masses of gullible believers and secularists, and the Pope himself, whose leadership of the church is extremely difficult both for the objective existence of fierce dramatic intra-ecclesial conflicts and because of the difficulty he has to give peace and concord, both for its own certain lack of impartiality and is even more due to inefficient staff and fake friends, that circuiscono him and shaped him.

.

Padre Timothy Radcliffe, with his statements, It gives shows to err in interpreting the Pope's action and did not understand at all - something heavy in a Dominican - or the true personality and apostolic mission, nor to understand the true, dramatic situation of the Church, repeatedly denounced by Benedict XVI, but also the Church in its true perspectives and hopes.

.

Padre Timothy Radcliffe, from what is expressed, It seems to live in a cozy and dreamy, made of naive youthful enthusiasm, absolutely no sense - now that people are talking about "discerning" - or the depth of the crisis, nor that the values ​​that are emerging, which are those of an authentic implementation of Vatican II, no interpretation modernist schillebexiana and Rahner, but according to the authentic teachings of the Popes of post-council, Blessed by Paul VI to this, not without being in continuity with Tradition supreme listening of the Word of God and what the "Spirit says to the Churches" [AP 2,7]. And when I say "tradition" I do not mean to The old rite of the Mass, but Sacred Tradition, ie to the custody, conservation and infallible apostolic oral transmission of the data revealed: in essence, the preaching of the Gospel.

.

Today the Pope does not need "fans » - these let them to football games, faith is a serious matter -, Nor acres accusers Pharisees, It does not need to be smoothed and pampered, It does not need to be 'correct' in the true faith, indeed he asks us to listen to him as teacher of the faith and infallible interpreter of Tradition and Scripture, and it needs to be helped and advised by loyal collaborators, wise and efficient, who do not give scandal to the people of God. It needs to be lit, comforted, consulate, encouraged and freed from the Judas, by schemers and the careerists, that surround him like bees around honey. Following the example of St. Catherine of Siena Pope it needs to be insistently urged frankly, love and respect to do his duty for the honor of Christ and the good of the Church.

.

Father Timothy Radcliffe imagines a promoter Pope of a Church "relaxed" as that, comfortably relaxed in an armchair, you will enjoy a TV show. His "decentralized" Church is a pitiful understatement but not too much, to conceal or ignore the confusional state in which the Church is today in a war of all against all cardinals, bishops, theology, priests and religious in matters of faith and morals.

.

According to Father Timothy Radcliffe Pope Francis He is guiding us toward a Church 'free and spontaneous'. But to achieve this end, there is no need for the Successor of Peter: just a good treatise on psychology. The Pope guides the Church far greater heights: listening to the Word of God, imitation of Christ, liberation from sin, the life of grace, the victory over the world and Satan, the communion of saints, the exercise of charity, for evangelical perfection, the availability to the Holy Spirit stresses, the conquest of the Kingdom of God, eternal happiness.

.

"The Pope is able to get in touch with each community"? Of course, he is the common father of all the children of God, He is sent by Christ to proclaim the Gospel to the whole world, It must understand the deeper needs of all, It must be able to appreciate the values ​​of all religions, must submit to Christ those who are "weary and oppressed" [Mt 11,28].

.

The Pope certainly demonstrates an extraordinary energy and attitude in contact with the crowds. Ma this, misled by a secularist interpretation of the action of the Pope by the great mass media, interpretation that the Pope himself does not seem sufficiently disprove, What then see the Pope? The cute propagandist of a moral "relaxed" or the man of God who calls us to look up? If the Pope 'meets resistance', should wonder what they mean. Of course there are the usual Lefebvre and Pharisees; but there is also those who love him and it's sincere friend and want to see him strive for holiness.

.

  1. We must pray for brotherhood between the faiths, not foment division.

.

I wonder in a Dominican this language imprecision, which suggests a relativistic vision of religion and indifferentist. He seems to confuse faith with the view. Opinions may be many, Also in contrast to their, and this is normal. But faith in God is one, as well as the truth is only one, because it is objective truth, certain, absolute and universal.

.

We must therefore promote brotherhood among the followers of different religions. It makes no sense instead speak of "brotherhood between the faiths", as it makes no sense brotherhood between true and false. It should not divide what should be united, but you have to divide what should be separated. The spirit of peace is not playing a double game or serve two masters. In this sense, Christ said he came to bring a 'sword' [Mt 10,34].

.

"Whoever is not with me ' - says the Lord [Mt 12,30] - "she is against me". If the Qur'an denies what Christ teaches, can not both be right Christ and the Koran. As a consequence, religions are not as parties in a parliament or the plurality of religious groups within the Catholic Church. In these cases the various formations are integrated and complement each other to represent the totality: or all the citizens of a nation or the entire ecclesial body.

.

Instead, the question of the relationship between religions is not just social order; It is not merely delegated to the State, in application of the right to religious freedom, for which the state must care for the peaceful coexistence of groups existing in it; not just to respect the differences among religions, but more deeply the question touches the problem of the truth of the doctrines of religions. And on this point, the Dominican should be particularly sensitive. To about, we must say that the Catholic Church recognizes the presence of saving values ​​in other religions, However, mixed with errors. Indeed, the fullness of the saving truth is exclusive patrimony of Catholic doctrine, as he still says the Second Vatican Council in the decree Reintegratio (II).

.

For this reason the Church also has the duty to reject or amend errors contained in other religions, that all men are called to be converted to Christ through the Church, As stated by the Council of Florence in 1442, although you can, as taught by the Second Vatican Council, belong to the Church unconsciously.

.

Father Timothy Radcliffe seems to share the theory of Edward Schillebeeckx, according to which the true religion is the sum of all religions, so that each of them would give his contribution to the building up of all, a little 'is like an encyclopedia from the contributions of collaborators. Indeed, secondo Schillebeeckx, "No particular religion exhaust the problem of truth"[1]. "Consequently, We can and we must say that there is more religious truth in all religions put together that every single religion "[2]. This is what it means? What the Koran adds saving truths that are not contained in the Gospel? That the Gospel can not afford to fix the Koran? Schillebeeckx does not realize that the saving truths were revealed by God through Christ and the Church in a number and harvested in the Apostles' Creed. Other religions do not add new truths, that are not already contained in the Christian creed, but rather they lack some. Because of this, the approach of Father Timothy Radcliffe, as a reflection of the ideas of Schillebeeckx, It is not at all conform to the doctrine of the faith, Unfortunately!

«It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners " [Mt 9, 12-13]

.

.

Rome, December 2012, Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the Franciscan Francesco Bartolucci administers Holy Communion to the pornstars Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina, the funeral of the greatest director and adult film producer Riccardo Schicchi

In the merciful Church, with the Supreme Pontiff who calls to a son of Lucifer as Marco Pannella to invite him to "hold on" or upholding the abortion proud and unrepentant Emma Bonino at the Vatican, which consistently followed unabated to define abortion "a social achievement" and a "great civil law ', Also in this case we would have expected a more balanced conduct in denying the funeral to boss Of Cosa Nostra Salvatore Riina, said Toto '. But unfortunately, it seems that the Church has exploded the tango of passion.

.

Rome, December 2012, Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the Franciscan Francesco Bartolucci administers Holy Communion to the pornstars Eva Henger, the funeral of the greatest director and adult film producer Riccardo Schicchi

We who we formed the largest teaching the Holy Father Giovanni Paolo II and that we continue to stand firm on the metaphysical and theological principles of Faith and Reason, we are uncomfortable in this Church in freefall living today in the name of Faith and Passion, but it is clear: wrapped in a passio that has nothing to do with the Christ's Passion, instead everything to do with the poisonous passio that come from an irrational moodiness.

 

.

Rome, December 2012, Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, porn actor Rocco Siffredi holds ambo on the presbytery sacrilegious eulogy to the director and largest adult film producer Riccardo Schicchi

Who was the boss of Cosa Nostra Salvatore Riina said Toto ', we all know, and we also know of those crimes is guilty. But one thing is certain: It is not the first sinner in history, at least not for us regarding the original sin an objective fact and not a metaphor [cf. Gen 3, 1-19], just as we believe that the fratricide of Cain who killed his brother Abel is also a fact and not an allegory [cf Gen 4, 1-16]. Therefore, that before a Riina cry “to sin!” precisely the secularists who never believed in sin - starting from the original one - and who still continue to disbelieve it today, However, although on this occasion even invoking the power of a excommunication … well, how to understand, if everything were not grotesque and ridiculous, it would be tragic.

.

On the orders of Riina, were killed by killers many innocent people, some speak of about two hundred murders he ordered. His killers have managed to assassinate strictly adults who, while not succeeding, He could still somehow groped to defend himself, or at least to escape. And always on his orders they were murdered even people with state, because people at high risk of attacks, of complex safety systems, meticulous guards and armed escorts.

.

No security mechanism, least of all any meticulous protection e armed escort, instead it protects the innocent creatures and totally helpless that every day are deleted in total indifference through abortion, while the Pope calls Marco Pannella to invite him to "Sit tight," and while it counts, at the suggestion of some Jesuits close to him, Mrs Emma Bonino in candid rose of the great Italians.

.

Rome, December 2012, Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the famous “disturber” Gabriele Paolini [see WHO], publicly and repeatedly declared himself an atheist, anticlerical, in favor of homosexual culture, abortion and euthanasia, receives Holy Communion from the pious Franciscan at the funeral of the greatest director and producer of porn films Riccardo Schicchi

At this point it is worth remembering another big funeral just held in the Diocese of His Holiness, in December 2012, reigning Venerable Pope Benedict XVI. Vicar general of His Holiness for the diocese of Rome was the Iron bertoniano Cardinal Agostino Vallini, was shown several times indifferent to the violation of the sacred honor of Holy Mother Church as a surgeon is indifferent to human blood. Though, as I recently wrote, soon it will regret, so that diocese has gone from bad to worse …

.

In that sad December 2012, at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, in the Roman neighborhood of 'EUR, It took place on funeral porcini the largest Italian director and producer of pornographic films, celebrated by Francesco Bartolucci, Order of Friars Minor Conventual. During the funeral obsequies, not only the Franciscan improvident administered Holy Communion to Ms. Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina, and other famous pornstars present, but that the sacrilege was complete he allowed, both Mrs. Staller, is the famous Italian porn actor Rocco Siffredi, to get on the presbytery, ambo from which it administers to believers of Christ the spiritual food of God's Word, to keep a very satanic eulogy.

.

Ms. Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina, with their backs toward the tabernacle in fact announced to all present:

.

“We did a lot of poetry, You can say, because even if it was eroticism and pornography, for us it was poetry… Playing around, we did what, maybe, many people are afraid to do '.

.

this only, But, and the “absolute evil” that shocked the modern social Church: Salvatore Riina, said Toto ', boss Of Cosa Nostra [Corleone 1930 – Parma 2017]

He then went to the presbytery Rocco Siffredi, pronouncing high mystical words that seem drawn from the deeper spiritual thoughts of St. Therese of the Child Jesus:

.

"They tell me I made clear porn, but I have not done anything sdoganare. Riccardo started and it is thanks to him that I am here and if they are what they are " [cf Andrea Tornielli, WHO].

.

I have nothing to add, if not a fact: the merciful Church, the one that asked for forgiveness for all: to the Jews, to Muslims, to Latin American indigenous people and so to follow, his faithful and devoted to his servants, because he never apologized for these great indecencies, I repeat that they have in every way of the satanic? No one has ever made even the era of that great mercy which Augustus Shepherd caressing wolves clubs and their faithful sheep. What in fact matters is that the newspaper The Republic, with all the papers hippies of the left radical chic near, with its chorus atheists and non-believers declared, all in favor of “sacred rights” dell'aborto, dell'eutanasia, the gender, genetic testing and so to follow, continue to praise the glory of Francesco "the great revolutionary", while Father Antonio Spadaro, instead of praying the breviary and the Rosary, He takes over the load from the fifth and ninety, above all, behind the scenes …

.

… He did not die for a charge of dynamite made by placing assassins Toto’ Riina nor a hail of machine gun of his killers, it is just a “lump of cells”. And before these insignificant “clumps of cells”, There is perhaps that the secularist newspapers ask the excommunications Church and funeral denied?

Or someone thinks that we are so naive not having understood who, to the Supreme Pontiff, She led him to the humiliating slips for the Church, the call from "hold on" to Marco Pannella to the title of "great Italian" given to Emma Bonino?

.

The episcopate is silent, as I wrote several times, but among the priests salt discontent more and more day after day. And to us, that The Republic shouts "Glory glory, Hallelujah Francis revolutionary», not interested in anything. And a day, the good Francis, We remember that we will end up in the Canon of the Mass, to remember him in prayer we are priests, Eugenio not Scafari, Non Emma Bonino, not the Pentecostal Pastor John Traettino …

THE PRIEST BOLOGNESE FRANCESCO PIERI WONDERS: 'HAS MORE DEATHS ON CONSCIENCE TOTO’ RIINA OR EMMA BONINO?»..

.

Dear Brother Francesco Pieri,

if you were “tax”, from which there is political correctness killing, You do not apologize to anybody for having simply said the obvious. In fact, you're not, you need to clarify the obvious, Bonino have to clarify it is the lady says: "Don Pieri does not insult me, but millions of Italian women who have suffered in one way or another the trauma of abortion ". She now has to explain who, these "millions of women", would be "traumatized", seen that each of them has visited freely to abort and that the largely, when you tried to convince them not to suppress an innocent human life, They have denied any form of listening. So, those who have traumatized? And what about the army of teenagers that abortion practiced Thursday morning, Saturday nights were already perhaps the revelry at the disco, Who would have traumatized, but especially: Who would have offended? Because applying the same principle boniniano, one could argue with equal “impeccable logic” that the boss Riina was traumatized by the number of people he had killed and that the hard-hearted - like for example we who instead consider him a criminal and who consider the dead because of him innocent victims -, They can not understand his trauma and its resulting pain.

The councils of the Church They are not new to the conviction of those doctrinal errors that until a few decades ago seguitavano to be called heresy, but today they are called "precious diversity", which as such must be welcomed, questioning if anything where we missed in condemning certain errors in the past, sometimes even with a determined hardness. Those who yesterday were in fact called "serious doctrinal errors", Today seems to deserve to be welcomed as valuable diversity, until reaching Martin Lutero becomes a "gift of the Holy Spirit", as announced at the Pontifical University S.It is Lateranse. Mons. Nunzio Galantine, General Secretary of the C.E.I, thereby giving for granted - good or bad implicitly - that the darker the Fathers of Trent condemned him unfairly, presumably because of the hardness of their hearts [cf. Mt 19, 8] closed love and mercy [cf. WHO].

In history the Church there are examples of different councils that have established harsh sentences to those mistakes that we should not be afraid to call this day heresies. We provide a few examples: in the year 325 The Council of Nicea condemned the heresy of Arius which subordinated the Son to the Father, namely that the Son, previously non-existent, it was at a given point created by the Father. While in A profession of faith, known as Nicene Creed, professiamo «begotten th Judging from the original,consubstantial tῷ Father " [begotten not made, of the same substance as the Father], in quanto «begotten begotten from the Father" [He born of the Father before all ages]. To follow centuries later with another council, the Fourth Lateran, that condemns the heresy of Abbot Joachim of Fiore, known as heresy triteista, which it is to distinguish God in three Persons, or three different natures or essences, which in fact is to say: three gods. VA’ however, it stated that Joachim was condemned the erroneous doctrine, but the same Council Fathers who condemned him, They never put into question his undoubted holiness of life. Then comes later, in the 16th century, The Council of Trent, which condemns the errors of that great "gift of the Holy Spirit" Martin Luther [cf. WHO].

Problems raised by the influence of Hegel IN CHRISTOLOGY KARL RAHNER

.

we mean, following the first seven holy Ecumenical Councils of the Church A, Santa, Catholic and Apostolic, to introduce softly, confidently to our respective Prelates, Representatives of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Keepers of the most holy Orthodox doctrine taught to us by our Divine Master, or

.

THE POPE OF OUR LORD JESUS ​​CHRIST THE ROMAN POPE FRANCIS I, BISHOP OF ROME, AND AT YOUR BLISS BARTOLOMEO II, PATRIARCH OF ISTANBUL, THEY dedicating filially, THE CONCLUSIONS WHICH ARE JOINTS

.

  1. The truth is no identity of the idea to reality, but adequacy of the idea to reality, because the reality is superior to the idea and the truth of the rule.

.

  1. Reality, independently of our ideas, It is not placed by our ideas, but it is created by God.

.

  1. The most holy dogmas of the Christian Orthodox faith and, insegnatici by the Church, are not mere words, human and perishable categories, pure human thoughts and passengers, contingent and profane, conventional signs, myths, symbols, images or figures of divine truth, arbitrary impositions that block freedom of thought, They are not relevant to the times and places, but they're infallible interpretations of God's Word, and Sacred Tradition of the Holy Fathers. They, formulated with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, Truth is absolute and most certain, which they reach conceive and luminously, truly, precisely, immutably and infallibly the infinite reality of the divine Mysteries, while leaving unfathomable and inscrutable to our limited intellect, while they stimulate us to the pious and mystical silence and adoration.

.

  1. God created the world not alienating itself and becoming world, but suscitandolo from nothing.

.

  1. We reject firmly as a Gnostic heresy called "transcendental pre-conceptual experience of God", Why, as taught by the Blessed Apostolo Paolo, We know God in this life by means of creatures (tois poiemasin, RM 1,19-20), while the divine Scriptures assert that he is unfailingly known to us "by analogy" ( kat'analoghìan Sap 13,5).

.

  1. The world the divine essence not complete, as if God can not exist without the world.

.

  1. It is heresy Modalist argue that the Three Divine Persons are three modes of subsistence of the only subsistent divine nature. On the contrary, they are three subjects subsisting or three hypostases.

.

  1. The Holy Trinity is not economic in essence, but only in fact, by free will. The economy of salvation does not enter into the essence of God, but due to its perfectly free decision.

.

  1. The original sin was a sin actually committed by the primitive couple at the instigation of the Tempter, and whose fault miserable and whose consequences have been transmitted generation to all humanity.

.

  1. It gave, for God, He did not need to incarnate.

.

  1. It is heresy to say that Marcionite, while the Old Testament God is a terrible God, avenger, irascible and punisher, the God of the New Testament is a merciful God, compassionate, merciful and loving. On the contrary, it is always the one same God, just and merciful, with the difference that in the New is a God Incarnate.

.

  1. Sa of heresy and hegelismo mention "story of God", even after the Incarnation, as if the essence of God to be immersed in time and limited by time and not quite eternal and immutable, above the space and time. God is not a temporal authority, but it is pure immortal Spirit, He who is the creator of time. With the Incarnation, God took and lifted up to Him, in-person units, in Christ, time and history, without time and history.

.

  1. Marcion's heresy to say that the true God we know only in the New Testament.

.

  1. It is heresy patripassiana and teopaschita assert that the divine nature is liable and deadly.

.

  1. It is heresy to affirm that God Eutiche, with the Incarnation, He has changed its nature in human nature. On the contrary, in the Incarnation, it remains unchanged (dare), because it is immutable.

.

  1. It is false to say that the concepts used in the Chalcedonian dogma are no longer relevant or have changed meaning or are reinterpreted.

.

  1. It is an absurdity Hegelian thesis Rahner, according to which God, in the Incarnation, wetsuit while remaining immutable.

.

  1. It is to be rejected as impiety Gnostic the so-called "transcendental Christology", affected by the "transcendental experience", referred to in subparagraph. 5.

.

  1. The "Elevated cristologia", namely the incarnate Logos in time, existed before the creation of the world (GV 17,5) and "Christology from below", that "Jesus came in the flesh" (The Gv 4,2; II Jn 7) not mutually exclusive, but rather they are mutually complementary, because this represents the historical way to initiate and elevate itself to that anagogicamente.

.

  1. In Christ there is no unity, but union of the two natures, do not pass by two at a, why they, though united and not separated (adiairetos, e achoristos), remain distinct and not confused (asynchitos).

.

  1. Christ on the cross has reconciled us with the Father, obtaining for the remission of sins and the resurrection enables us to resurrect us too. So, the Cross is paschal and expiatory sacrifice.

.

  1. You Nestorian heresy to assert that Christ, dying, He loses his human existence and become the Spirit, as if in Christ there were two people: a human person, it vanishes, and a divine Person, which remains.

.

  1. Rahner also falls in nestorianism another point. He takes the Hegelian concept of the person as self-consciousness. Now, because in Christ there are two self-consciousnesses, the human and the divine, it follows that there are two people. The fact is that the two self-consciousnesses depend on the two natures, no personal being of Christ, which it is only one.

.

  1. It is heresy Docetist and monophysite say that the body of the risen Christ was not seen significantly, touched and palpated, as if it were a mere appearance, vanished with the death.

.

  1. It is heresy to say that Christ is not risen after death, but in death, identifying almost Hegelian life with death.

.

  1. The Second Coming is not a myth that is a future already present, but it is really a prediction of future event.

.

  1. We are not born to grace, but with the original offense, that is removed from Baptism.

.

  1. We are created to tend to God, but we possess free will, whereby, de facto, depending on the choice that each one does, there are those who will and who tends there tends.

.

  1. In sin you lose grace, but with the metanoia it can regain.

.

  1. Incomplete grace human nature, which it is in itself endowed by God with a perfection, Although wounded by sin, but the healing and freedom from sin and sopraeleva the condition of divine sonship in the image of the Son.

.

  1. Christ is not only the model of, but also man's guide to the divine sonship.

.

  1. With the grace occurs deification (theosis), But not in the sense that man might become God, but in the sense that participates analogy of life (Methexis, koinonia) Divina.

.

  1. In the grace God gives us the essence, because it only does so with the Son (True God from true God, however,), but it tells us only one share in its life.

.

  1. Grace is not God, Why, if it was God, we could not destroy with sin, something that unfortunately happens. For God you can not destroy.

.

  1. It is not true that men are always in grace: there are those who possess it and some people do not possess. And even the same man, You can now possess and may now lose.

.

  1. It is not true that everyone is saved, but only those who accept the grace and live accordingly.

.

  1. The purpose of the Christian life is not simply natural, but above all to become children of God.

.

  1. The goal of Christian conduct is not only reconciliation with God and be forgiven of sins, but above all get to communion with the Father through Christ in the Holy Spirit.

.

  1. The task and powers of the Christian are not the ones to shape its essence to your liking, but those to obey the laws of God based on a knowledge of human nature and its natural and supernatural ends.

.

  1. Among human nature in its finitude and the infinite God is an infinite difference in height. Yet the grace makes us children of God.

.

Praise and glory forever and ever to the Holy Trinity.

.

the episcopal coat of arms of the Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, He explained later in the second part of this short essay in which he is shown his theological and pastoral meditation on the poor and the poverty that earned him the appointment as bishop

This my short essay It opens and closes with an exhortation made by Blessed Apostolo Paolo in a letter addressed to his discepolo Timoteo:

.

"If a man desire the episcopate, He desires a noble task. But a bishop must be blameless, the husband of one time, sober, prudent, decent, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not attached to money […]» [The Tm 1, 2-3].

.

In another passage, the Blessed Apostle exhorts:

.

"But earnestly desire the higher gifts! And I'll show you a more excellent way […]» [The Cor 12, 31].

.

But most of all, the Word of God made Man is very clear when in a special parable speaks of the talents that each of us were given [cf. Mt 25, 14-30]. First of all, each of us, must be aware of the talents received, because if it were not could never outa. It goes without saying that the most talented in a particular way, They must never fall into the devil's schemes of pride, redoubtable Queen locomotive and all the other deadly sins, because awareness of their objective capacity must always be combined with another consciousness: the talents are not our own merit, but mysterious gift of God's grace; no data for our honor, but for the glory of God, to serve God through them Christ and His Church. I for one do not doubt that a bit 'I will have deserved Purgatory for the purification of my soul, but it is equally true that if I had to introduce myself shortly before the immediate judgment of God, one thing I would go safe in the presence of the Creator: the objective certainty of having loved, worshiped and obeyed the Church, and he has served in every way the people of God, spending my priestly life to make up for the thousand laziness of many my brothers, from those taking refuge behind unspecified "pastoral duties", They never have time to confess, to visit the sick, to bring them Holy Communion, to administer the sacred anointing of the sick and the dying, to stay close to people in need and so to follow, because for this we have become priests, not to send the "pious women", or as any intrusive "priestesses", to visit the sick and bring them Holy Communion.

.

I like to do the theologian and through the theology I think of making a valuable service to the Holy Church of God, especially in these times of wild widespread heterodoxy, but I would not hesitate to abandon any theological speculation if it meant neglecting the pastoral and apostolic dimension, why I became a priest to celebrate the Eucharistic Sacrifice, to absolve sins, to administer the sacraments according to the power of my sacramental able, to assist believers of Christ. That is the priority, and this priority is sacrificed everything, Also theological speculation. Or to quote an example: if the faithful, as it has often happened, They are calling me at home because they do not find a priest in every parish in the City going to give the anointing to a sick man - being young pastors engaged in exhausting and unspecified "pastoral activity" -, and I'm going out at that time to go and hold a keynote the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word of God, well: before I go to administer the holy anointing to the sick, then I'm going to hold keynote, Why, if it did so, I would prove not to have understood why, the Word of God became man. Which among priests, not have realized, are unfortunately very many, alas, more and more.

.

Do you want to know then where that are found, always and rigor, the kind of lazy and absentee priests poc'anzi mentioned? Soon said: placed by their bishops in the largest and wealthiest parishes of the diocese, protected and made untouchable by authentic mafias formed mostly from lazy and mediocre priests and how much they, who live with the terror that anyone can in any way alter the brain death was generated by them in the particular Churches, offering examples of priestly life totally different from their. E, if everything goes well, these priests often find them to make no grown children to the house of mothers and fathers, I repeat: if everything goes well. Or we find them surrounded by their beloved grandchildren, full of a thousand needs and many vices, which I await that throws priest uncle sooner or later the bucket, to have in rightful inheritance everything in a life of laziness and greed have stolen from the coffers of the Church, from whom everything had, and to which all should give - or at least return - to their death.

.

Despite my sins are clear about God's judgment, because it is not based on "divine emotion", For God is not emotional, it's right. And his justice sustains the pure aequitas, which if necessary is aequitas compensatory. How were the holy men and women who had a really bad temper, or when they opened their mouths were able - as they say - to leave if necessary bishops, priests, religious literally "thrown to the pigs"? Yet all of them were judged on charity, why they are sanctified; as well as each of us, It will be judged on charity. And charity, before the eyes and judgment of God, It produces a large compensatory effect. Or how often I happen to say in the confessional to penitents: "Love is like a baptism, which renews us the grace and erasing blame, sometimes, maybe, in the eyes of God you can erase even the sentence to be served for the sin forgiven, but that He alone can know, He alone, despite our faults and sins committed, may decide to admit us, for compensatory charity merits, directly into Paradise among the blessed souls ".

.

IF BY THE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD I BELIEVE TO BE A PRIEST OF TALENT, WHY NOT ME THE SAY FRIENDS, BUT WHY THE CLAIM MY WORST ENEMIES

.

If I think of being a man of talent, It is not to believe it because they tell me friends, or the so-called admirers, because those do not own text. I think because I always say my worst enemies. Indeed, none of those clerics that if they could they would have taken me not only the Sacrament of Orders, but even the Sacrament of Baptism and then burned alive, He never said that I am a mediocre theologian, or an immoral priest, why my worst enemies, well-looked by any kind of confrontation with me in matters of doctrine and faith, They are always used to say: "It has brilliant intelligence and profound theological preparation". Adding below: "And what makes it very dangerous". To follow up with statements like,: "Ha one encyclopedic», "He has an evil intelligence", "It is not a sentimental emotional that can be done in the trap to fall into its sentimentality, because when harsh criticism directed always builds his thesis on objective data and criteria based on pure logic, in which case you should not deny it, because you run the risk of being made still more blacks from his bloody tongue and his even more bloody pen his tongue itself ". But most of all, despite themselves, They are forced to admit: "He leads a morally impeccable priestly life". If they do not admit this, They would laugh behind by people, as my life unfolds to the public sunlight, under the eyes of the people who always know where they are, with who I am and what I do, but above all they know what I do and who I am not. E, these enemies loved ones, mostly characterized by a bleak mediocrity, They have always kept me away from all academic ambits, without any ecclesiastical authority has never had urologic manly attributes to tell: "In conclusion, if God sends his Church to men of skill and talent, can we marginalize them not to irritate the army of highly poor people who are doing disappearing day after day the universal Church in the ridiculous, It uttering heresy bursts from the chairs of our academic institutions and from the pulpits of the largest historic churches?».

.

Having said that, we can then add that none of the bishops at the apostolic authority which have been subjected over the years, He never raised a half sigh about my way of life, Why, always the proof of facts not subject to easy refutation, I am a priest who never caused any problems of a moral nature, doctrinal and asset. Even despite, their Bishops who are impossible with a clergy in the most serious moral issues, doctrinal statement and balance sheet, to me they have never given any official pastoral assignment, because if they did there would be a violent uprising against them by priests whose moral conduct, doctrinal statement and balance sheet, constitute public scandals in the sunlight, strictly tolerated, sometimes even hidden and protected, by those same bishops ready then to hide behind pathetic speeches such as: "Ah, the situation is delicate, I have to handle fragile equilibrium ". By reaching out to the shameful concluding sentence: "What can I do?». And before this question, someone he was told to me in these terms: "When it was proposed the appointment as bishop, and along with it the was shown in a clear and realistic severe actual state besetting the diocese who wished to entrust, why she accepted? Maybe then say ... "What can I do?”».

.

Unfortunately it is the human mystery - certainly not the mystery of faith -, the poor little men prancing for certain honors, but by no direction and no reason, however, they want to take the well heaviest burdens arising from their high office.

BISHOPS ELECTED IN RECENT YEARS resemble snooty TEENS THAT GIVE TUNES FROM AUTHENTIC MULL FEMALES

.

Not a few, among the bishops elected in recent years, They resemble certain small and snooty teenagers, the break of the first fragile hair on pubis, they go around telling, as authentic mulls females, had made raids with amazing women in their thirties ultra surf, as well as almost impossible to achieve by virtue of their beauty and social position. This kind of adolescents, of always, in civil society make tenderness, Why, with their absurd-fanciful stories, cause to die laughing anyone who will listen. Unfortunately, in today's ecclesiastical body, this kind of adolescents are instead elected mulls females official of the Holy See, then declared the spouses of some great and ancient particular Church, for their, It should be entirely comparable to a woman almost impossible to achieve for its beauty and its social position. E, once it becomes bishops, tenderness nor do they die laughing, but do cry, because by their actions incompetent produce so many and such damage that only partially be repaired will require decades of work by vescovi santi, admitted that tomorrow they always find, saints bishops, after the terrible devastation of the earthly Jerusalem wrought by this new generation of bishops who first popped fragile hair on their pubic priestly suffering from diseases caused by congenital micropenis, But they believed most gifted of a thoroughbred stallion and most beautiful of Rodolfo Valentino.

.

He is now a man 54 year old, here in maturity, or rather now on the way to old age, I began to aspire to the "best gifts". E, as well capita, the face of ever larger slice of the episcopate showing that he had serious problems on knowledge of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, following the admonition of the Blessed Apostolo Paolo, "If a man desire the episcopate, He desires a noble task ", I began to aspire to the episcopate. And I sucked you animated by the serene and conscious awareness that these days would also be a great bishop, compared to some teenagers at the break of the first pubic hair they were declared by the Holy See stallions and then married some great and ancient particular Church.

CHURCH AND ECONOMY BANK. HOW FARMI ROAD TOWARDS EPISCOPATE, I CAN NOT BE RECEIVED WITH ONE OF THOSE CHECKS IN WHITE SIGN THE FACTS FROM A Roman Pontiff "COURT OF MIRACLES" FORMED BY THE AUTHENTIC bankrupts sessantottino POST IN POWER ?

.

Like all men of faith at the same time endowed with talents bestowed on me by mystery of grace from God, I first had to deal with those who are at the same time my great limitations; because a man is not able to confront their human limitations, It can be neither a man of genuine intelligence, or a man of faith. And my first insurmountable limitation was the fact of not having my part contacts with the "court of miracles" that have long encircles the Roman Pontiff, leading to His Holiness the pizzini with the names of the bishops in all the best trappings of modernism, but incensed with the smoke of the great censer of the poor and poverty. In short, just to be clear: we all know that the reigning Pope gave clear provisions on the selection of new bishops, stating that wants them "shepherds with the smell of the sheep" and a "special preference for the poor". Or good, I understand that the story would be very long, but perhaps, the reigning Pontiff, It is not sufficiently enlightened on what was, in a country like Italy, Sixty-eight. Then, in case the Holiness of Our Lord Jesus Christ I read, I try to narrarglielo me soon, What it was our pathetic Sixty-eight ...

.

... Sixty-eight Italian It was formed a protest movement and carried out by the richest children of fathers who spoke of the proletariat, the working class and the class struggle, and then return to their homes where they were served by the rulers and the liveried servants. Protesters with the proletariat odor on him, were the scions of industrial families and entrepreneurs took to struggle against bourgeois political class and the old academic baronies. They were also and above all the great uneducated, because while the old and commendably contested old academic barons, behind they had a great tradition, but above all a great culture, protesters faux-proletarian, behind instead they had an abysmal ignorance, and one after the other have graduated in political collective discussing the imagination in power, on forbidden to forbid, or discoursing on Cuban cigars smoked by Ernesto Guevara said Che. And so, Sixty-eight in the post, we ended up in schools and academic structures an army of ignorant licensed, just as it happened in the political class. Of ignorant characterized by a precise setting: were aggressive and coercive as few - or in some ways like never before had seen -, with those who did not think like them. E, since the seventies, these posts sessantottino in the chair have devastated entire generations of students, targeting rare destructive spirit with all those who were not willing to homologate their indisputable thought. And of this, Who is writing, He has been both victim and witness.

.

there, not knowing and not imagining with such opportunists and false-change would eventually play, the reigning Pontiff, shouting "Odor of sheep ', "Poor and poverty", to a fifty years away from Sessantotto Episcopate has created the same situation ruinous. A situation that, with all the most devoted and sacred respect, It could only be created by a naive Argentine who does not listen to anyone and that does not live in the world, but in his idea of ​​the world. E, said this, as far as my words, I conclude by saying that it will be the time, to give me right or wrong in tomorrow's day, while the episcopate post sessantottino sinks deeper and deeper, between ignorance of the sheep and the bleak poverty of the doctrine and spirit.

.

The members of this "court of miracles" clerical Sixty style, formed as I wrote several times and repeated by authentic delinquents, that with the proposal of certain episcopal appointments induce the Roman Pontiff to sign the blank checks without over them it is not even mentioned the figure for putting the collection, a person like me found them like smoke to the eyes, even worse: They consider more dangerous radiation of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor.

.

As for the matter of blank checks, It is first of all clear that certain relationships are not unilateral and bilateral. Indeed, When the Bishop that full and perfect communion with the Bishop of Rome has ordained me a priest, I promised obedience and filial respect to him and to all his successors, in a sense, I signed a blank check with notebook Checks drawn by the Bank of Faith, at which there are no spending limits, because the Bank of Faith coverage is unlimited. but be careful, because the Bishop in full and perfect communion with the Bishop of Rome, for its part has not signed, nor ever I put in my hands a blank check with no number and date for collection, why am I that I vowed to him, not he who had vowed to me. Unfortunately today, what's happening, It is a dangerous alteration and inversion of all the economic and commercial criteria: enough that present themselves to the Pope offenders in the "court of miracles" that the flatter and circuiscono, telling him that such and such a priest wrote a pamphlet on the poor and poverty to the highest socio-political trappings of Bologna School, or who hath been busy that other poor migrants and considers it soli juice more important than how much they are not the gloomy doctrines on the great Christological dogma, that these puts to sign burst hazardous blank checks of episcopal appointments, without indicating in them neither the figure nor the date. It goes without saying that, because at the Bank of Faith, for this kind of checks there is neither liquidity nor coverage, having left the Founder of the Church any kind of a guarantee fund for similar nefarious expenses, soon it will happen one after another, these checks, eventually protested. Because this offenders in the "court of miracles" we are conducting: to bankruptcy. In the end, all'improvvido signatory, the Divine Director of the bank will withdraw the checkbook, and little will be worth that he is going in and pawing claiming to be the only, valid, lawful and legitimate holder of the current account, because at that point, Director Divine, It will remind you that the wealth entrusted to him would have to manage it and make it bear fruit with the highest criteria of the economy Christological all of which are summarized in the famous Parabola faithful and wise administrator [cf. LC 12, 39-48]. Those who later suffered and suffered damage due to this large sale of bad checks, the Divine Judge of the Supreme Court - which is merciful, because first of all it is right -, ask it opened the company's bankruptcy proceedings Catholic Church and that we proceed immediately with the kidnappings to try to recover and also only partly credits. And maybe, the first real estate will be impounded, both the credit protection is to avoid further future damage, it will be the Sistine Chapel ...

.

... in this climate of receivership that is a prelude to bankruptcy proceedings, to achieve my goal I have taken literally the admonition of Christ God who calls us: "There: I send you as sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents and harmless as doves " [Mt 10, 16], mindful of the fact that "the children of this world, indeed, towards their peers are wiser than the children of light " [LC 16, 8].

.

I HAVE TRIED TO LEARN FROM THE SERVANTS AND FALSE Hypocrites, THAT AS SUCH ARE pimps and infidels TO THE MASTER, AND ACTING LIKE THEM I HAD ME TOO MY BLANK CHECK WITHOUT COVER ...

.

Now I reveal publicly what I did to achieve my goal: first of all I removed the Roman cassock off, I burned the Saturn beaver who sometimes wear during the winter as the wind blows, I went into a church clothing store and I bought one of those hideous synthetic shirts with white removable Francobollino below the neck, which of course I left half undone; I put a couple of jeans under shirt, taking care of arrotolarmi up their sleeves to the elbow, I wore a pair of sneakers and I let the beard for three days. I then corrected my walk trying to bend your back, if anything appear too straight; I prudently refrained from proceeding with an elegant gait and took to walk dangling so. Finally, I showed up at the Vatican to Domus Sanctae Martha I was saying in the lodge prodigandomi for the protection of a Sinti gypsy ethnicity, who was subjected to severe discrimination because he had defended legitimately by questions from an annoying and insistent journalist, breaking his nose and slaughtering of its barrel cameraman [cf. video clips WHO, WHO, WHO]. And so hyear referred to the Supreme Pontiff in hall the hotel was a priest very pecoreccio who demanded to speak to the Supreme Pontiff for a matter arising from the poor discriminated against Gypsies. Well, maybe you will not believe, but he came in person in hall to receive me.

.

When I saw a tick away and then come back to me the Roman Pontiff, with the help of God's grace I corrected my instincts incorrigible imprinted in my DNA of priest, following which I bent my head, I would put on their knees to kiss the hand and, getting up, I would not open his mouth except to answer, because before the Roman Pontiff not start any speech, It heads down waiting for him to give a speech at the beginning; do not ask, It is liable only if he asks you, although today it is used that the Roman Pontiff will face even interviewed by journalists who have spent their lives to despise the most basic foundations of the deposit of the Catholic faith. I repeat, with the help of the grace of God I did not fall in this series of errors that would be lethal, and as soon as I saw it from a distance I started to sbracciare as a perfect lout calling out: "Father Francis!». And I rushed toward him, without bending the right knee before his Augusta person let alone kissing his hand, but hugging him tight. Then, clapping him on the shoulder, I told him: "Dad, I thank you for seeing me, because only you, in this increasingly discriminatory, you can help me do justice to a group of Gypsies discriminated against members of the family Sword. It is actually a really good for family clan, thanks to which is safeguarded and protected the great culture of these gypsies, that they are all people who live honest work [cf. WHO]. And I, Dear Francis, I can testify to the goodness, honesty and great working spirit of these people, because when I fell in Via Merulana my wallet, two Gypsy, one of them seriously injured, invalid with permanent and severe mobility problems - both incidentally belonging to around beggars organized in Rome by the Clan of Casamonica [cf. see movie WHO] ‒, He stood up from the ground from the corner where she was begging, running up after another together with the crutch, also invalid because with a mutilated arm, both shouting behind: "Man, the wallet, the wallet! man, the fell of his wallet!». E, told all, precisely to the Roman Pontiff: «Sai, Father Francis, They called in a gentle "Lord" because they knew I was a priest. Why me, being a priest for people, with the people and in the people - because this really means in terms mystagogical for Christ, with Christ and in Christ ―, always traveling in civilian clothes. Or maybe we want to go back to scare people with our long black robes sad crows and, if anything, even putting this ridiculous Saturn head that some diehards consider elegant?».

.

The eyes of the Holy Father have become bright e, see him I confess, at that moment is realized writing: "Then Jesus, looking upon, I love" [MC 10. 21].

MY POOR MOTHER who cleaned SCALE OF BUILDINGS TO LIGHT OF DAWN AND MY FATHER which collected PIECES GOOD CAST FOR ERROR BETWEEN THE WASTE OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

.

If the heart of the reigning Pope is a safe full of great spiritual treasures, I used to open the right combination: “Poor & poverty". So I did not go to him empty-handed, but like all the worst burglars I took four years behind the "combination of aperture", or rather my study entitled "The poor and poverty are the Mystical Body face of Christ". And when the Pope asked me what relationship I had with the poor and poverty, family and social level, first of all I replied telling him that my family was so poor, but so poor, that when mice entered the pantry of our cuisine, not finding anything inside it came out with tears in his eyes. Neither I felt humiliated to tell him that our house was so poor that we did not even swim, as we used the toilet cat litter box. Then I talked about the enormous sacrifices of my mother, at that time already a widow at a young age, having lost her husband to just 48 year old. And though torn by grief, five in the morning was already working curved to clean the buildings stairs before the sun ancòra sorger, to pay to the son of the courses in the United States of America, cost of which they were at the time 18.000 U.S.. $. So I explained in detail that this poor woman, in my travel expenses, the cost of the studies and stay, He had to clean the stairs of the buildings to the tune of approximately 25.000 U.S.. $, all in years when a dollar was equivalent to our old coinage 1.500/1.600 Italian Lire, roughly thirty million old lire. So much so that my mother began to anticipate the cleaning stairs work, and instead of beginning at five o'clock in the morning, beginning at four. The Pope was very moved and said: "Ah, what they are capable to do, poor mothers, for their children. You are truly the son of a saint!».

.

Then I narrated the misunderstandings suffered by my poor parents by the old church, one run by the Prince Bishops without love and mercy; an old church where a priest-Pharisee threatened my grandparents would not have baptized their son, that my father, just because they wanted to call it Palmiro, in honor of the leader of the Italian communist Palmiro Togliatti. Harsh from early childhood was the life of my father, that because of malnutrition fell ill from tuberculosis child, because his parents could not cure him and feed him, why grew stunted, and being bad later had major problems to marry. The still married my mother, partly to charity, partly because, because she too bad because of the after-effects of a childhood polio and then had a chicken pox in adults that left the whole skin pocked, He ended with my father to form an allied and united couple.

.

All his life my father worked to collect the discarded vegetables from greengrocers the general market of fruits and vegetables, and then sell a few money good pieces that could recover in the discard pile. But despite all this pain and this humiliation suffered by my poor family, there are even gossips Pharisees and sad Christians who dare to deny these truths making me the object of vile calumnies, just to cut my legs for appointment as bishop, for example telling around that I come from a wealthy family and that my father was as good as a Hollywood actor. But these are lies, pure and shameful slander circulated falsely on me to keep me from being able to be promoted to the episcopate. Suffice it to say that my brother, who is a paraplegic and that only the right part of the body is able to articulate, whereas in the lower Maremma, between Tuscany and Lazio, He makes his living as a guardian of a herd of breeding boars, in free time, with the use of only one hand, He is carving a pastoral made with olive wood, who wants to be a symbol of peace, Love and poverty.

.

After this story I had to stretch a tissue to wipe tears from his eyes to the Roman Pontiff, because now he was deeply moved. Having recovered from the emotion then after those poignant tales, he sighed, he beat his hand on my shoulder and told me: "Do not get angry, because to say certain falsehoods about you may be only those who I call the "bats Christians", those who seek evil everywhere ".

.

Later, when the Roman Pontiff told me that he saw in me a priest from the Episcopal profile, by virtue of my sensitivity to the poor, I hastened to reply: "Father Francis, I can also accept the appointment as bishop, But as long as I'll be given a full Diocese of existential suburbs and allow me to put, on the shield of my episcopal coat of arms, the image of the Little Match Girl " [Old fairy tale H.C. Andersen, readable text WHO]. The Roman Pontiff asked me what, among many, among too many Italian dioceses would be to me the most suitable to carry my good news to the poor, and me, unhesitatingly, I answered: "Father Francis, I think I'm born to be a bishop of Naples ". And I set: 'Note, Father Francis, I just said: Bishop. Mica I said Metropolitan Archbishop of Naples, oldest and largest archbishopric, with twelve suffragan dioceses, traditionally the seat of cardinals, with a clergy more than a thousand priests and so to follow. No, none of this, because I would just be the bishop of the poor; and if it does not fit to the rich, They may go to look for a bishop-prince model old-feudal or Bourbon. And I'll tell you more, Father Francis: taking possession of the chair, I will not say trivial and obvious things, type I propose to bring the gospel again and sound Catholic doctrine in a pagan land that now more Christian, This is all Italy, but especially our South now reduced to a faith-pagan folklore. None of this, I announce clearly that the purpose of my episcopate will be to defeat the Camorra and the Camorra and, as a guiding compass of my episcopate, I take as a model the documents of the National Antimafia Commission. Because where governments have failed both Royalists and Republicans of the last hundred and fifty years, I shall succeed me with the power of an episcopal excommunication. And all the thousands and thousands of poor to whom the Camorra pays houses, salaries, pensions and insurance, entire families of keeping sentenced to prison for mafia crimes - because the Camorra is a veritable state within a state, with its own "law" and especially with its rich economy -, they shall come and rigor on my side, ready to rise en masse against the power of the Camorra, because I will be their social Bishop, their revolutionary Bishop ».

.

Dear Letters of The Island of Patmos, is with trepidation and joy that I so glad tidings: I was chosen as Metropolitan Archbishop of Naples, and at the stroke of the 75th birthday of His Eminence Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe Rev.ma, I will take his place on the episcopal chair of San Gennaro. Since this ad, Now I intend to publish my meditation through which, the Roman Pontiff, for friends "Father Francesco", She saw in me the ideal candidate and decided: "You will be the Bishop of existential outskirts of Naples". It is a meditation that will be the pastoral orientation and doctrinal compass of my episcopate.

HERE IS THE TEXT OF MEDITATION Theological Pastoral REWARDED WITH EPISCOPATE

.

.

BY VIRTUE OF THIS MEDITATION Theological-Pastoral: "THE POOR AND POVERTY ARE THE FACE OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST" FATHER ARIEL S. LEVI DI GUALDO HAS BEEN APPOINTED ARCHBISHOP OF NAPLES METROPOLITAN, IN HIS ARMS ARCHBISHOP'S IMAGE OF THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL WITH THE MOTTO "HERE IS THE FLAME OF THE POOR"

.

.

When the Roman Pontiff recognized in me a priest from the Episcopal profile and he asked what any diocese I would have liked to play the holy apostolic ministry, I replied that in my capacity as a member of our great multinational humanizing religious experiences, known for centuries as the Roman Catholic Church, I considered myself suited to coordinate the social activities of the old and glorious city of Naples and I thought of being a worthy representative and speaker of the truth of faith "poor Church for the poor". Especially if then coated in red, but it is clear: not the red is understood according to the stereotypes of the old church that it considered this fidelity until the martyrdom of blood, but it is seen as a red blood that must be paid to finally get the proletarian revolution of mercy.

.

It was indeed necessary - as I explained privately to the Pope - a charismatic person, at the same time he was like me also a showman, to organize and then manage the two mass events which in my opinion can be used to a greater combination of the Neapolitan population: The traditional devotion to the blood of San Gennaro and the football matches of Napoli. This is why one of my first pastoral duties, after fulfilling the main, that is my solemn declaration of excommunication against the Camorra and the Camorra, It will be to give life to inter-football partnership between the football teams and their supporters of Napoli with the Argentine team San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors. We can not forget that in Naples lived more than thirty years ago the man of God by Diego Armando Maradona, that good Argentina, as well as belonging to the species of resurrected lice [1], It left a lasting impression, especially among the poor and needy of the ancient Partenope, which today still tell him when, aboard his Ferrari, accompanied by an army of maids, It went to serve hot meals to the homeless.

.

My pastoral mission, in my capacity as teacher and guardian of the faith, It will focus on the reformulation Pauline concept of the Mystical Body [cf. With the 1,18], whose real meaning is the testimony of God among us through the poor man who is her face and the refugee who is his body according to the writings of Acts and the Pauline letters, up to 'Apocalypse of Blessed Apostolo Giovanni, which he tells of how the companions of Jesus brought in the most abandoned areas of domination by the Roman power, such as Africa and Asia, until the Iberian Peninsula, the manifesto of this new unified class and unified under the concept of "kingdom", which it is neither birth, nor race, or the skin, much less capital to determine the subject, but this equal dignity, upper and in conflict with the spirit and oppressive slave aristocracy royal and imperial Rome. The same testimonies written by Blessed Apostolo Pietro in Rome [cf. Pt Iᵃ e IIᵃ] tell us how this fellow revolutionary vanguard egalitarian, Jesus the Nazarene, poor among the poor, He led the mission only among the lower classes and among the marginalized, these were the slaves, prostitutes and refugees. May, Jesus attended the houses of the rich, He never took meals with them, It never was anointed by them with precious oils, much less is left coated with fine garments. Modern archeology has also shown that he, alla his death, He was not buried in a fine tomb provided by the ricco Giuseppe of Arimathea [cf. MC 15, 42-46; Mt 27, 57-60; LC 23, 50-53; GV 19, 38-42], because his body ended along with that of all the poor in a mass grave from which, as I will tell later, Then take life the great spiritual resurrection metaphor. This whole series of stories, Finished mostly in the Synoptic Gospels, are incorrect transcriptions that editors of the canonical Gospels were taken from untrusted text of the apocryphal gospels, imbued with many romantic and surreal tales. News therefore false and superimposed on the picture of the poor Jesus that very soon will be purged, thanks to improved scientific exegesis that four years is now at work through a special commission to study funded by a group of German theologians, able to pay these long and expensive studies, since the Church of Germany, great supporter of the concept of the poor Jesus for the poor, It can benefit from the Federal Republic of Germany of an annual contribution of about ten billion Euros deriving from tax revenue. And as, before long, the German bishops will have more Euro crammed into the coffers of their dioceses rather than faithful seated among the deserted benches of their churches, They may well employ more capital at their disposal to finish destroying what remains of the venerable old pre-merciful Church, or to finance the great ideological latest idea being: married priests in the Amazon region of Brazil.

.

Through their lives human companions Jesus of Nazareth They were the first great propagandists of this epochal revolutionary change. Indeed, most of them, after the destruction of Jerusalem were refugees [Mt 24:4-28], suffering as such non reception and, as we read in the various stories contained in Acts: the first Christian communities were to serve all, and within them there was the primitive holy communism, because they did not exist in that huge theft that was private property, because the goods were in common and personal possession was banned.

.

HISTORY OF THE FIRST EVANGELICAL-Proletarian Revolution: THE OLD CHURCH ONLY MERELY TO WELCOME THE SINNER, NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE TRUE GOD'S MERCY, CI PUSHING TO WELCOME, TOGETHER WITH THE SINNER, EVEN THE WEALTH OF SIN

.

After the first revolution brought by the man Jesus of Nazareth, for which it was necessary to live outside of the slavery of human ideologies spread by upright religions of priestly castes - remember that Jesus was not a member of the caste of priests and Levites, But to the tribe of Benjamin and David, who was a warrior which led to the liberation of the people from the power of the external rulers -, for obvious consequence, centuries after, inevitably he had to reach the French Revolution, followed by liberalism and communism still below, which together with the great Martin Lutero reforms represent the biggest grace gifts bestowed by the Holy Spirit to mankind.

.

The man Jesus of Nazareth had no precise political projects, he has launched those seeds that in the centuries to come would then germinate thanks to his initial idea that aimed to transform individual and social ethics supported on the exaltation of the highest values ​​of humanity, in structural elements targeted to sustain the company on the principles of generosity, compassion and hospitality. And mind you: not only and not so much on the reception of the sinner, as a long time, badly mistaken, He is believed and taught, but on the reception of the same sin, which it is a great single and collective human wealth. Herein lies the real revolution of the new church, contrary to what has instead made the gloomy old church, which for centuries it has been stubborn to accept the sinner, if anything, even making him feel guilty for his sin and then pushing him to repentance, but proving unable to accept at the same time also with the sinner sin, because it is in this that consists the great ecclesial and ecclesiastical revolution of our time supported the concept of God's mercy: receive, together with the sinner, Also the great and inestimable wealth of sin.

.

Over the past few years, within the Church began to blow more strongly than ever a new wind, especially in the areas of theology and exegesis. This wind has led to the rediscovery of the true message of Jesus of Nazareth which for many centuries has been overshadowed by the dominant class of the Christian ideology that, since the bankruptcy mechanisms that were their rulers of the Roman Empire, They had transformed the free post gesuana Church in a pyramidal structure of castes, based on bureaucracy and legalism legal, away from the people and for what alien from teaching of universal love. This pyramid-shaped ecclesiastical caste that for centuries has supported the bureaucracy and legalism, He went so far as to express, on the ancient Roman Law model, the authentic anti-evangelical and anti-libertarian aberration that is the Code of Canon Law, thus limiting so terrible human and spiritual creativity, for one is the true law for the Christian: Law is true and authentic that I think, what I feel, so what I want.

.

The clearest statement of man Jesus of Nazareth against the power totalitarian is enclosed in its expression, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's" [Mt 22,21; MC 12,17; LC 20,12]. An expression that contains a very precise message, although for many centuries never correctly interpreted, that means: the power can not accumulate all the authority, whether it is effective or even only symbolic and, of a single human being, because those in power must be limited and subject to the same voice and the will of the sovereign people, because sovereignty belongs to the people and is exercised through the democratic mechanism of the Synod of Bishops, that soon they will return to be elected by the people themselves.

.

JESUS ​​OF NAZARETH, THE GREAT REVOLUTIONARY DE THE PEOPLE UNITED IN A CHURCH "CHRISTIANS ANONYMOUS"

.

Jesus of Nazareth was, first of all, a great revolutionary, very sensitive to that class struggle of which he throws the first fundamental pillars. To truly understand the revolutionary impact of his message, enough to understand the true meaning of his words when he says he did not come to bring peace but war and, or even among siblings within the same family would be put against each other, if either party had not accepted this change needed [Mt 10, 34-36], he that is not with him is against him [Mt 12,30].

.

The history of mankind is full of "anonymous Christians", as we learn from the great theologian of all time, the German Jesuit Karl Rahner, I hope is soon proclaimed a Doctor of the Church and a prophetic voice. Among the many "anonymous Christians" in history, Just think, for example, the Chinese Mao Zedong, that just inspired by this passage from the Gospel - without knowing it, he being an anonymous Christian "" -, during his glorious revolution imprinted on already experienced Soviet model, Also invited children, properly trained, to denounce their own parents; or the brothers necessary to denounce their brothers and sisters who also showed a faint sign of disagreement with this big rise Sol dell'Avvenire. And in doing this, if necessary get in each other, They were rightly convinced that in the end the proletarian revolution would be completed, because as it is written: not everybody, but only some of those who have been part of the revolution, not taste of death, till they see his kingdom, because this is the true meaning of this famous passage of the Gospel [cf. Mt 16,28]. At this point, the radical change wrought by recent steps taken by this revolution that gave birth to the new and true Church of Peace, of love and mercy, finally able to welcome the sinner together also sin, It has reached its climax, because this is the true meaning of the warning given by the man Jesus of Nazareth when he says: "Not before this generation that this should happen". [Mt 24,34].

.

The preaching of the Nazarene was centered on equality, as when he says that there are no masters, palesandosi well against bourgeois capitalism represented at that time by the temple merchants, , or by the ancient speculators Wall Street, they were rather the money changers [cf. MC 11, 7-19; Mt 21, 8-19; LC 19, 35-48; GV 2, 12-25]

.

The only time that the man Jesus of Nazareth looked at him ― «e I love watching ", as it is written in the Gospel - he was when he pointed to the rich young man the only thing he lacked to make: "We ', sell what you have and give to the poor " [cf. MC 10,21]. He is in fact very clear in saying that perfection can be achieved only when you sell all our possessions to give to the poor [Mt 19, 21]. Jesus of Nazareth, often blames the rich, especially when he says: woe to you rich! for ye have received your consolation [LC 6,24]. Unfortunately, for many centuries, the theologians of the old Church explained - of course gravely mistaken - that the term "wealth" is used by the man Jesus of Nazareth as a synonym for selfishness, lack of altruism, of attachment to the purely material dimension of life and being. Understandable the reason why the old church has supported this, because unfortunately she - and what we must never end up asking for forgiveness to the world proletariat -, He was in league with the rich, with the exploiters of the people. While in reality the wealth, for the man Jesus of Nazareth, it was just a dishonest means to earn protectors in difficult times [cf. LC 16, 9]. In fact, he affirms: «Well, I tell you: make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, Why, when it fails, they may receive you ". And it was so much his hatred of wealth, who later went on to launch invectives against the Pharisees who, They are attached to money, They heard all these things and you did insult him. As long as Jesus said to them,: "You are those who believe the righteous before men, but God knows your hearts: what is exalted among men, before God is an abomination " [LC 16, 14.15].

.

Allegory THE ORIGINAL SIN: THE TRUE ORIGINAL SIN IS BORN FOR THE LACK OF CARE FOR THE POOR

.

For centuries we have believed and taught that the allegory of original sin - because it is well established that original sin is not a fact, but only an allegory from which comes the traditional baptism just as allegorical and symbolic -, It was due to an act of rebellion against God the Creator through man's pride. Well, apart from the fact that another great "anonymous Christian", Sigmund Freud, Genesis tells us that the biblical passage is nothing but an allegory of the son who in childhood is legitimately rebels against his father's domain, if we really want to talk about original sin, this is not to recognize the healthy and legitimate rebellion against the parent domain, which it is in fact part of the human evolutionary dimension, but necessarily it arises in the lack of care for the poor and in the attachment to money. This is why, the metaphorical Garden of Eden, the man fell into the metaphorical original sin.

.

The mission of man Jesus of Nazareth was not the one to found a religion or caste, or a parallel power to dominate with ritualisms, ceremonies and brainwash the poor and oppressed, but to bring the good news to the poor, to proclaim release to the captives and to set at liberty those who are oppressed [cf. LC 4, 18], giving as the only bond of friendship, because the prospect of salvation and holiness that He offers us, It is to become his "friends" [GV 15,15]. Moreover, He is not only a great revolutionary, but it is a real radical revolutionary, it clarifies the same: «Who is not with me, it's against me " [cf. Mt 12,30]. And in the long line of several "anonymous Christians", many have followed this teaching of his radicalism, without even knowing what they were really and radically Christians to act in a certain way. For instance, between different contemporary, limited to only the twentieth century, suffice it to recall that great "man anonymous faith" that it was Stalin, This Gospel radicalism that brought him to the maximum fulfillment, so that thanks to his work, about twenty million Russians could reach Heaven in a few years.

.

The man Jesus of Nazareth then called to Himself those whom he wanted, and they came to him. So he appointed twelve to be with him and he could send them to preach, and they had the power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons [cf. MC 3, 13-15]. Needless to say, the Demons, I am the allegory of the capital-imperialist bourgeois temptations that seek to corrupt the people. Therefore, The casting out demons, It is to be understood as a hunt capitalist ideology that corruption tends to possess the people. Unfortunately, the old church full of gifts to her attitudes arising from that great alters the Christianity that was the Roman emperor Constantine, he never realized that these Twelve were a collective based on the concepts of proletarian democracy, because the man Jesus of Nazareth summoned the Comrades from the fields and workshops [cf. WHO] to revolutionize the world; a revolution that passes through the transformation of the individual.

.

When the man Jesus of Nazareth, to Pontius Pilate, that represents the maximum charge representative of the Roman regime, dice: "My kingdom is not of this world", He refers to himself instead as a man in the front row as a victim oppressed, It called to be the symbol of dissociation from the realm of bondage and domination, of oppression and authoritarianism, poverty and war, widows and orphans, refugees and the poor for higher taxes and the continuous appropriation of land and capital. He did so, and proclaims the imminent social change propaganda began living with his conviction and execution as leader revolutionary that, failing to defeat the ideas contrary to the discussion, He has left that they express, because he knew that you can not defeat the misconceptions by force, because that would stop the free development, indeed, misconceptions, They must always be left free to develop to the maximum.

.

When the man Jesus of Nazareth told his companions not to greet the family and not bury the dead, what is intended to convey an invitation to never go back even to take a run, Also it costs falling into the abyss that lies between one bank and another.

.

When in the Gospel refers to Simon called the Zealot [cf. LC 6 14-16], which means guerrilla or partisan, what is meant is to say that the positive characteristic of warfare consists in the fact that each individual is willing to die not to defend an ideal abstractly, but for it to become reality, so that the imagination may come to power, because it is the imagination that comes the real, although this has never been understood by the old church, which for centuries has been stubborn to support their own theological thought on outdated and unrealistic criteria of Aristotelian logic, carried out so anachronistic by St. Thomas Aquinas, on which rests the great responsibility that it had restricted the great theological speculation until - thank goodness! ‒, the beginning of the twentieth century came to life that Modernism is now the point of reference and of doctrinal and pastoral action of most contemporary episcopate.

.

In Matthew we read that the man Jesus of Nazareth told his companions: ' Verily I say, hardly a rich man to enter the kingdom " [cf. Mt 19, 23-30]. This is enough to understand that he wanted to become poor and offer itself as a cornerstone of that great epoch-making revolution against bourgeois capitalism, only true great destruction of humanity. Unfortunately it took many centuries to come to understand that God can not be Catholic, but to everyone, because he knows everyone and it is for everyone, especially those who deny it and refuse. This is the reason why the Nazarene, in art the Son of God, preached during his earthly existence the clear distinction between the oppressed and the oppressors, thus laying the big bridge over the river of what would later be the poor Church for the poor.

.

ALLEGORICAL OF MIRACLES, THE TRUE MEANING OF THE EUCHARIST, THE DEATH OF JESUS ​​THE LIBERATOR AND HIS RESURRECTION

.

The man's greatest miracles Jesus of Nazareth They were not those of Lazarus' awakening from a clear state of apparent death, undiagnosed at that time for lack of scientific knowledge; let alone the signs worked by him on the sick. The real great miracle was to feed the proletarian masses in different occasions [cf. Mt 14, 13-21. 15, 32-39; MC 6, 30-44. 8,1-10; LC 9,10-17]. And here we perceive how deep the concern of Jesus of Nazareth for the hunger of the masses of the underclass, so much so that the last supper, before being sentenced to death by the imperial-capitalist power of that time, Jesus gave the job to his companions to feed the people with bread proletarian liberation [Mt 26, 20-30; MC 14, 17-26; LC 22,14-39; GV 13, 1-20], and for this purpose he used a great metaphor allegorical: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him" [GV 6, 56].

.

The man Jesus of Nazareth walked finally to Jerusalem with its companions because he knew that the time was ready for revolution, because the revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe, but it should be 'dropped. From this moment onwards he follows the so-called Gospel of the Passion, focused for centuries, in interpretations of the Old Church, in the bloody dimension of sacrifice, through which the man Jesus of Nazareth, equated to the Lamb of God, would wash the sin. It is, however,, also in this case, a misreading, very Tridentine and pre-conciliar, Two evangelical sentences: "Here is the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world!» [GV 1,29], and again, "he looked at Jesus as he walked, he said: "Here is the lamb of God!”». The biggest misconception from which the misinterpretation born, It is linked to the very concept of sin, with whom for a long time the old Church has terrorized his faithful. The Gospels are indeed the writings merely allegorical, to interpret the categories of modern theology. And the term "sin" is a metaphor that must be interpreted in a broad sense not bloody and sacrificial, but in a social sense: the man Jesus of Nazareth, with all the gentleness of the non-violence that centuries later end up in a figure like Gandhi - lamb metaphor here -, lava from the world the great sin of social injustice and the oppression of the poor. To this, as I said earlier, relates that other great metaphor which is the Eucharist, whose real and true meaning is not to sacrifice, but to be the bread of Social Justice, the party of companions who gather around the table for the banquet of joy, of peace, of love and mercy, dancing around the altar to the rhythm of bongos.

.

Our faith is based on the large allegorical event of the resurrection of the Nazarene, for centuries considered the old church as a historical fact, as well as a physical fact, while we know that it is a spiritual event, an allegory interpreted as earthly experience conclusion of the man Jesus of Nazareth, in art the Son of God. For when in the Apostolic Letters states: "But if Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching is in vain and your faith " [cf. The Cor 15.14], It meant to say that the allegorical symbol of the Resurrection is the redemption of the poor and the oppressed people, is proved by the fact that in another passage states that we have already risen with Christ [cf. With the 3,1]. And who is it, who it was raised with the man Jesus of Nazareth, not the rich, Perhaps the bourgeois, or perhaps worse than the capitalists? Of course not, with the man Jesus of Nazareth, the great allegory of his resurrection are partakers poor, the marginalized, refugees; to rise with this really great revolutionary, It packs so that the law is approved on soli juice. The allegory of man Jesus of Nazareth who rises from the grave where his body was thrown together with that of the Underclass condemned by the imperial-capitalist power, is the image of Sol dell'Avvenire rising. It is not by chance, several famous "anonymous Christians" in history, as already mentioned Stalin and Mao Zedong, although unaware of expressing thus their belief in the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, I did just use the allegorical iconography Sol dell'Avvenire, thus showing extraordinary "anonymous Christians".

.

The other two events of our faith are allegories of the ascension to Darling man Jesus of Nazareth and the Holy Spirit Pentecost. The fact that after the resurrection, He has continued to appear and to be present among the democratic-proletarian disciples' collective, as told by one of the most famous allegorical tales - that of the two companions on a journey along the Way to Emmaus [cf. LC 20, 30-31] ‒, It indicates the fact that no real father of the revolution has never left the people, before the people was ripe. That's why this allegory joins the second allegory, the Holy Spirit Pentecost. With this second event, fellow fighting man Jesus of Nazareth become true Christian adults; Thus Pentecost holds that sublime metaphor for the great "anonymous Christian" Sigmund Freud defined as the son's emancipation from the dependence of the father. With Pentecost, We then the final overcoming of the Oedipus complex.

.

IN ORDER FOR THE DIALOGUE MAY LEAD TO syncretistic UNION it IS NECESSARY TO PUT BY THE FIGURE BULKY THE BLESSED VERGINE MARIA

.

Among these lines, I deliberately avoided talking about the mother figure, which is that of Mary the mother of the man Jesus of Nazareth. It is in fact a figure that may constitute an obstacle to dialogue with our brothers of different Christian Churches, even if still today, written in the Creed at Nicea and then perfected in Constantinople, resents unfortunately the exclusive and excluding spirit that the Fathers of these two councils acquired at the time by the romano Costantino. In this text we in fact reads: "I think the Church one, santa, catholic and apostolic ". This holiness and apostolic, however, it can not be the exclusive property of the Catholic Church, because it belongs to all the various Christian churches. Although over the centuries, the concept of unity, who flirted a real limiting obsession, He prevented us from welcoming the richness of diversity, to say the least: the old church has come to call heresy even the rupture of unity, unable to see and to grasp what an enormous wealth could arise from that diversity which often involves breaking of this great fetish unit, so that it can give space to the great preciousness of diversity. Among the many examples of this, think of the extraordinary figure of Martin Lutero.

.

Well, the figure of Mary is an obstacle reception of the various diversities and the great riches of the brothers of other Christian Churches, anch'esse apostolic and holy, that the Catholics of real forms repeatedly accused of Mariolatry, making it clear that this woman, in his own way too cumbersome, It was a serious obstacle to dialogue. Therefore, for the sake of dialogue and to achieve the common neighborhood, if it is necessary it must be sacrificed in the figure of this cumbersome mother. Both therefore blessed the work of those holy men of God Pentecostal pastors who recently, in Mexico, in Ecuador, Peru and so on, They have ventured into a sport as educational: crush and then wipe off the ground, in public, the statues of Beata Vergine of Guadalupe [see WHO, WHO, etc …]. Also because, if Pentecostals which has always enjoyed the special sympathy of the reigning Pontiff, they do this, they do it because no doubt inspired by the Holy Spirit.

.

It is in this that consists the true wealth of Mary: the ability to step aside, to leave aside and ensure that the Pentecostals to the conquest of Latin America do apart his effigy. Of all this, Mary is happy, so as not to obstruct the path of dialogue and closeness to the brothers of the other numerous and authentic Christian Churches. That's what makes me truly holy Maria, and it is in this new perspective that should be studied Mariology, avoiding the aptly be reprimanded by the brothers of the other true and authentic Christian Churches Mariolatry.

.

As though capita, this is a separate discussion that we face in following. Also because, As far I wrote and expressed, It was enough for my promotion to the episcopacy, exactly as Nunzio Galantino, who recently he called Martin Lutero and his great reform as a gift of the Holy Spirit [cf. WHO], his happy this statement was sufficient to keep the post of Secretary General of the Italian Episcopal Conference. If not, by relating instead to faith with the schemes of the old church, all it structured on gloomy oppressive doctrines and dogmas, through which some would hinder the triumph of mercy and love, not only, It does not become bishops, but it is likely to be pushed and relegated to the sound of beatings in the most forgotten and desert extremes of existential suburbs. But all of them are beaten - mind you -, fruit of the greatest mercy, of that mercy that arises from deeper than a holy shepherd carrying imprinted on it the smell of sheep.

that brief and memorable Talk 2013 with Cardinale Francis George, Metropolitan Archbishop of Chicago [1937-2015]

This writing, sull'ironico constructed and apparent paradox game, but devoid of any form of irreverence towards chicchessia, He speaks for itself. He speaks because it is a dramatically wrote seriously, I would dare to say, so humble and subdued, which is one written to his prophetic way. However, the line I chose to take a bit 'of time now, It was explained in a separate article in which I made clear to be taken where certain subjects and situations ... [see article WHO].

.

A few days after the conclave 2013, before he could return to the United States of America, I got to know at the North American College in Rome man of God Cardinal Francis George, Metropolitan Archbishop of Chicago [1937-2015], with whom I spoke in private for half an hour, sufficient time to grasp what I had to grasp. First of all, I declared myself struck by his statement dating back about a year ago, when he declared his understandable contrarierà bishop of the law on civil unions, and then continue to assert that the powerful and increasingly aggressive lobby gay, was turning through the Gay Pride in a "Ku Klux Klan manifesting in the streets against Catholicism". The statement struck me, But that was not addressed to the increasingly evident aggressive spirit of sodomites proud to anything that even vaguely reminiscent of the Catholic Church, it hit me by this man already seriously ill with cancer, It was the phrase: "I will die in my bed, my successor will die in prison, his successor will die a martyr '. Meditating on this sentence, I had the feeling that maybe, one day, bishop I would become really. And I could really become in my old age, together with a few other survivors Catholic priests to what the worst is yet to come, because in the not far at all, the Catholic Church will be reduced to a shapeless heap of ruins.

.

For three years now, the Dominican pontifical academician Giovanni Cavalcoli and myself, well known to the public as the Fathers de The Island of Patmos, ribattiamo tirelessly that the Church of Christ is not a static body to mummify stagnant water stops, but it is an evolving body, because in itself, a body, It is always growing, even at the stage of old age. If in fact the old marks on the one hand the physical decay, the other often marks the culmination of the spiritual and intellectual maturity. If it had not been, everything would be solved in the year 325 with the first great council held in Nicaea. But if the Church, of concilî, two millennia of life has celebrated it in total twenty-one, There must be a reason, or not? Hence the concept of The Church must always be reformed, provided that this need of the Church to always be reformed, does not end up being confused with the fact that the Church should end instead turned into another, instead reformed, ie purified. Is this, Unfortunately, It is what is happening today: a powerful and warlike group of criminals, They are trying to accomplish just this nefarious and diabolical project: transform the Church in another. And the transformation into another, It has nothing to do with the great reforms of some great Councils, from Trent to Vatican II.

.

That's why I go to as many years writing and stating that all this will lead the Church to be totally emptied of Christ, then be filled with another. In such a situation not far from being realized, be bishops will mean taking the risk of living a life of martyrs. Therefore the Blessed Apostolo Paolo, called not by chance at the beginning of my writing, stated that "If a man desire the episcopate, He desires a noble task " [The Cor 12, 31]. He claimed that because at the time, becoming bishops, He acted almost always die martyrs, shows us how the Roman martyrology and the Byzantine sinassario of the first centuries of Christianity.

.

Naturally, when we speak of martyrdom, we all have in mind the so-called martyrdom of blood. But this will not be, the slow and painful martyrdom that awaits us tomorrow, because our future will not be marked by a bloody martyrdom, but from a long white martyrdom that will last for generations.

.

What little remains of Catholicism and Catholics, It will end up being totally incompatible with the civil society, but especially with the laws that govern; they shall be of the radically anti-Christian laws. No One, He will belong to the small group of survivors Catholics scattered around in small groups in prison, nor anyone condemn them to death. O, as I said in the interview with Cardinale Francis George: "Do I believe that the successor of the successor of Your Eminence will die a martyr, but through a new form of martyrdom today, we, we can not possibly even imagine, because this new form of martyrdom will be the total indifference. Therefore, the power that will govern the way the States and civil society, will use towards us the exact same indifference that today, men of power of our decadent Church, they are using to all prophetic voices who continue to live and speak in that market '. And with that precisai: "The devil, intelligence being in a pure state, It is not a fool. Over the last twenty centuries of history very well the lesson learned, so he knows very well that the blood of martyrs has always cleansed, revitalized and thus sanctified the Church. And he certainly can not allow that the Church of Christ be purified, revitalized and especially sanctified. So what did he do, this authentic intelligence that essence is the Devil? Before, It seeded and favored the development of the utmost indifference among our increasingly miserable church authorities, then he reduced them to live and act in a spirit of total sloth omission, so this destructive indifference could hit us first from the inside, then from the outside ".

.

Perhaps, to illustrate all, It may be useful to the application of other examples clarifiers: I am going to read some of my writings, happen to be found in several of them real complaints built on circumstantial accusations, based on serious events not subject to denial. harsh and severe Words that I penned black on white certainly not inspired by the moods of myself, but the style of the ancient prophets and the style of the precursor San Giovanni Battista. Numerous writings in which I have often indicated that such people highly problematic, since burdened very serious moral and doctrinal problems and embarrassing for the Church and ecclesiastical society, They were even in spite places - thanks to the protection of persons in authority themselves burdened with moral and doctrinal issues - in roles of dangerous relief, with all that this may result in levels of bad management of ecclesiastical and pastoral structures, and public scandals level. Well, before written so severe, the least we would have to happen would be my ready convocation by the competent ecclesiastical authority. I am not in fact neither a journalist nor a opinion-maker, I am a priest and a theologian subject in all respects to the Ecclesiastical Authority. And this authority are not subject to "fixed-term employment contract of indefinite duration", but for the grace of Sacramento, as well as obedience. And a priest who in a public document explains that the current Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has been a promoter and protector of that young lord who reached the top of that delicate ministry was later declared gay and now lives happily married Spain with his beloved companion, at least it is called and, in tone, if anything too severe, he is asked: "How you dare you throw this accusation to the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith?» [see article WHO]. E, once this is done, if anything, it is called again asking: "How you dare you, to write your article in another fire, that the current vicar general of His Holiness for the diocese of Rome, has placed in one of the historic downtown parishes a priest in an ancient and prestigious Roman basilica was already known to all Church authorities because foraggiava barrel of money around a young prostitute Romanians? [see article WHO]. In short, if the Authorities, even in front of a known fact and acclarato, They have decided to turn a blind eye, You want to raise their issues, that you are nothing and nobody?». And if those in my statements, undoubtedly serious, indeed very serious, there had been even one and minimum distortion of the reality of the facts, here is that in that case, Authority Ecclesiastica, He was supposed to make me truly repent of all my sins through the most severe canonical sanctions.

.

Some church so-called expert, these my rhetorical questions answered and said again: "Forget, them to do anything like that, because it would give importance to what you write, which they will never do, because for them, the more you will cry "disaster" and the more accuse them of destroying the Church, the more you ignore, why not deserve any attention to them ».

.

Well, provided that in the Church of obsessive-compulsive mercy I don't want any attention, nor do I want anyone to give me consideration, Perhaps at this point it should first clarify that I am not a priest incattivito writing on a blog read by the sacristan, by two or three ladies that evening recite the Holy Rosary Church and the bartender at the bar located in the square in front of the house canonical. Because the pundits of the Holy See responsible for social communications, may determine at any time that the online magazine The Island of Patmos It is much followed, and has a number of far much higher visits instead of how many do not have the Italian edition of The Osservatore Romano, the newspaper of the Italian Episcopal Conference Future, the weekly Christian family and so to follow. Therefore, the principle of clerical-slothful "Do not give it importance", not hold their. And we do not talk about how much and how often, not only in Italy but also around the world, theologians and prelates have endorsed and elaborated certain analyzes made by the Fathers de The Island of Patmos, that far from having made a home blogs - given that ours is a magazine -, enjoy in the facts of all the authority of which however do not enjoy, the eyes of believers of Christ, certi cardinaloni e bishops forefront; the whole, obviously, but, as the facts, strictly provable and documentable. Therefore, the reality and the truth, it is quite another: let's say that someone scolding me, saying for example that my way of expressing myself, for its hardness and its complaint spirit, it is not acceptable. A quel point, Authority Ecclesiastica, You would feel to respond to me: "Given that I ask forgiveness on the spot for form, over the hard spirit, for the spirit of complaint; and also being said that in the manner and form that you booking me, I will extend this request for forgiveness in public, so that it is read by tens of thousands of readers in one day, once clarified, however, the shape, for what it concerns the substance, what you say to me? Or better understood: it is true that the current Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has carried on in his career and has protected a subject that has ended up giving in the Church one of the most sensational scandals of the last century? Why is this fact, I do not hypothesize, see the document. E, said this, proseguirei I am saying: to form part, for which I apologize not once but a thousand times, but the vicar general of His Holiness, that the square in one of the most prestigious parishes of central Rome a priest psychologically unstable photographing paid naked boys in the shower at the house of elders of an ancient Roman basilica, then collecting these photo shoots "artistic" ... Well, to form part, for what it concerns the concrete substance, what you say to me? Because apart from my recriminata form, the fact remains that the current vicar general of His Holiness, the bravado of this priest, It was fully aware, as they were and as they are all monsignorini conspiratorial who still work at the Vicariate of Rome and who by their sheer cowardice, allow the perpetration of certain abominations, because no mouse got inside the cheese form, He likes to be kicked out of it ".

.

The truth, I am not ignoring me, but they are simply afraid, because any eventual recall, involve the private first comparison, then, if it was subjected to any kind of arbitrary injustice - in this church at the height of Stalin's mercy in which a logical consequence the right no longer exists -, the private confrontation by what was possibly born a strictly arbitrary injustice would be made public, always provided that reading me are not the sacristan, the three old ladies who recite the Rosary in the church and the bartender at the bar across from the canonical.

.

While I am writing this long text, I traced the history of one of the bloodiest dictators in the modern era, which is not Adolf Hitler, as everyone thinks, but Stalin. The dead, They are in fact measured in numbers, place the numbers of murder victims are always many, They are always too many. So there are no numbers that weigh more, such as Jews slaughtered by the Nazi regime, which amount to about five million, compared with more than twenty million Russians murdered by Stalin, that the horrors of the historical scale can hardly weigh less for the simple fact that they were not Jews. The slain dead weigh in fact everyone equally, and their blood shed cries too "vengeance before God", to use this ancient biblical expression, whether they are Israelites or are former subjects of the Great Tsar of Russia came under the jaws of the Great Stalin Butcher.

.

By writing this article I thought about Stalin because they never ever, twenty years ago, I imagined that the destiny of the Church would end with risultar similar to those of the old Soviet regime. In fact, if we analyze well the facts historical, we will discover that the inexorable decay of the Soviet Union begins to come to life around 1954/1955, one two years after the death of the great and murderous dictator. It is wrong to say that Soviet Communism fell suddenly in 1989, because his fall had actually begun decades before. Just as the Catholic Church, that is not falling today, suddenly, because the gestation of this Chronicle of a Death Foretold, It began forty years ago, in the post-conciliar season, following all the typical patterns of those passionate and romantic revolutions from which the worst dictatorships are always born, since the French Revolution with its period of terror from which comes the season then inaugurated by the great warmonger Napoleon Bonaparte. And as the young protesters shouted Sixty-eight of the "Peace and Love" with iron bars in hand, throwing stones at police and bombs molotov between a cry of love and the other, Today in the Church, dictators were born in the post-conciliar season, menano locked knees and break your legs to anyone who dissents to the Grand Revolution of Mercy.

.

The fact that the term "revolution" and "revolutionary" is completely incompatible with the very essence of Christianity, or define the Word of God, Christ the Lord, as a "revolutionary", indeed borders on blasphemy, I will explain this in detail in a high subsequent written, because now I can not open a theme into the theme, especially in a final conclusion.

.

In my writing I referred also to the criminals, obviously in a purely figurative sense, not criminal and penal sense, referring several times to the great criminals who are killing the little that remains now of the Catholic Church. I can not conclude without having done this for at least the name of one of the most famous criminals figured, always insisting that the lemma "criminal" and "crime" is to be understood solely as a synonym for intellectual dishonesty. The intellectual thug in question is the increasingly powerful Alberto Melloni, great leader the School of Bologna and large direct or indirect placer of disastrous bishops. To understand the subject such intellectual delinquenzialità, apart from its symposia at the Masonic Lodges and various amenities [cf. WHO, pag. 6-9], one need only read, from the columns of Corriere della Sera, how contemptuous and aggressive way he says the prophecy, I dare say almost obvious, made by Cardinale Francis George in 2012 [read article WHO], up to accuse of homophobia. And homophobia, unlike my recriminata intellectual delinquency, which it is a pure figure of speech, it is instead considered a real offense under the criminal laws of different countries of the world.

.

there, Alberto Melloni, among the intellectual delinquents that hover around the Roman Pontiff like vultures on the carcass of the Church, It is one of the most quoted. And with this, I said and concluded all, both with regard to the vultures, it is about who, undaunted, if it keeps them around, in this self-destructive Church of obsessive-compulsive mercy, now reduced to a pantomime of the proletariat paradise of Stalin.

.

Maybe someday, when I am close to eighty years, modest dress in civilian clothes, because anything that reminds old religious symbols, Also in the same clothing, will not be allowed on the streets of a society now fully multi-ethnic, multi racial, but above all freed from the image and memory of God, accompanied by a few heroic candidates for holy orders, I personally follow, because there will no longer certain ecclesiastical structures, including seminars, strolling through Rome will indicate their large and prestigious hotels, offices of large companies, museums, Art exhibition centers, concert halls, theaters and so to follow, that once were our great religious structures. And I will tell them that, in my young age, I have also known and visited many of those environments. He went past the stable of what were the major pontifical universities, where you will find the offices of academic facilities where they will study the hermeneutics of the old religions, sponsored by the great center of world religious culture financed and dependent on a special department of the United Nations, I will tell them that in those stable, once, They taught our most "great" theologians, those to whom we owe this great 'the fall' [see previous article, WHO]. And if the two candidates heroic will turn to me, their old bishop, telling me: "Paternity, They must have been, those, some really good times'. I will answer them: "No, dear children, they were not just bad times, but terrible, in which a decaying church hierarchy was reduced to living on power for power, divorced from the real, paralyzed in everything at once, incapable of any future eschatological perspective ". And I will tell them: "Those who are living now, are the really good times, because it is the times of a slow, long and painful rebirth ".

.

It is in this situation, We can accomplish that which urges us the Blessed Apostolo Paolo: «[…] if one aspires episcopate, He desires a noble task " [The Tm 1, 2-3]. It will be a "noble work" when the episcopate, emptied of all worldly power and prestige, It can be experienced only and exclusively to the praise and glory of God. It will be in this little future, marginalized and dispersed Church that maybe, in my old age, Bishop become really, so that the dramatic question "But when the Son of man returns he will still find faith on earth?» [LC 18, 1-8], a small group of Christians can respond: Yes, our Lord and our God, we kept alight the lamp of faith until Your return, without ever having lost the conscious hope that to you is simply a small flame. And based on this knowledge,, They remain always on our faith and charity.

the American theologian Father Thomas G. Weinandy, Order of Friars Minor Capuchin

They sent from Washington a letter from Father Thomas G. Weinandy, Priest and Capuchin Friar. This fellow priest and fellow theologian is a member of the International Theological Commission 2014. The text of his letter is reported in the Italian translation by the Vatican correspondent Sandro Magister, to which we refer [see text of the letter WHO].

.

No comment on this letter calm and moderate in criticism, as such, worthy of a true man of God; because its clearly speaks for itself, without the need for interpretative notes. Instead I take note that overseas, a priest and theologian, expresses arguments that Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo writes and over many years, for example indicating [it has also recently done with me, see WHO], that today, the big problem, It is constituted by the episcopate ". That's why these words directed to the reigning pontiff from this our American brother I played immediately familiar, In fact, he writes Father Thomas G. Weinandy:

.

«[…] Catholics can only be baffled by his appointments of certain bishops, men seem not only open to those who have a vision opposed to the Christian faith, but also they support them and defend ".

.

An expression that is found in many writings of Father Ariel [cf. our articles WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO, etc. ..].

.

And what about this quote from Father Thomas G. Weinandy:

.

«[…] his pontificate has given to those who support theological and pastoral points of view ruinous license and the security to come out into the light and produce their previously hidden darkness ".

.

It seems to read the article in which Father Ariel explains that the reigning Pope, as the "Pied Piper of Hamelin", It has great merit: "Having done all mice come out until just before hidden ' [cf. WHO].

.

If someone had given me this kind of sentences and asked to identify the author, surely I would have said that it was phrases extrapolated from the writings of Father Ariel.

.

In the text of Father Thomas G. Weinandy crop up various arguments which I expressed in several of my articles, for example where writes:

.

"The Holy Spirit is given to the Church, and in particular her, to defeat the error, not to favor him. Moreover, where there is only truth can there be true love, because the truth is the light that makes us free men and women from the blindness of sin, a darkness that kills the life of the soul ".

.

It's still He continues writing:

.

"But she noted that the majority of bishops from around the world are all too silent? Because that's how it is?».

.

The similarities between us and this brother priest overseas, I am so many is such that I feel almost compelled, on behalf of myself and the Father Ariel, to inform our many readers who follow us from various parts of the world - many of whom were quick to tell us if we were in contact with this cappuccino theologian -, we have never had contact with the author of this letter, and that all this is the result of pure chance due to a somewhat similar way to analyze some serious intra-ecclesial problems [see our articles WHO, WHO, WHO].

.

The text of Father Thomas G. Weinandy speaks for itself. What I can do is to offer our readers a reflection on the enemies of the Supreme Pontiff, the worst of which are not those who criticize him, often so hard too, with styles and subjects sometimes fair or sometimes totally wrong; the worst are those who praise him and trying to use it to impose their personal dictatorship inside the Church.

.

What is the enmity

.

To address this issue It is necessary to begin by making some considerations on enmity in general. Enemy is one that, disagree with another, he loves evil. There is just and unjust enmity enmity. The first is being enemies of an evil person. However, the evil that you want, It is not hatred, but a just penalty. The second, It is to be the enemy of a good person. In this case, the enemy, It is a hater.

.

Enmity is just or unjust based on the reason that the cause. As for the reason, therefore,, enmity can be motivated or unmotivated. It is motivated, if it is based on a good reason, ie a finding of the real evil of the other. You then have enmity or right justified. It is unreasonable, if it is based on a false reason, ie an evil untrue, but suppository or apparent, so that the enemy is not moved by Justice, ma Hate. Hence enmity unjust.

.

Be advised that the reason of enmity can put into play or just human reasons or reasons concerning faith. In the first case, It is enemies or love or hatred of reason to reason. In the second, or for the sake of faith and hatred for the faith. It is right to be the enemy of love or reason or faith, in the name of justice or in the name of charity. Instead, it is unjust and sinful the enmity or hatred of reason or justice or faith or charity.

.

The concept of friendship and enmity plays a key role in the ethics biblical. In the Old Testament the right is the '' friend of God '. The devil is the "Satan", which means the enemy, the opponent. The prospect of salvation and holiness that Christ offers us, He has become his "friends" [GV 15,15]. And St. Thomas Aquinas, based precisely on this passage of John, He interprets the essence of love between God and man in the friendship category, which implies the idea of ​​communion between the two lovers [QUESTION, II-II, q.23, a.1].

.

The whole dynamic of the Christian life It is therefore resolved in an alternative between being friends or enemies of Christ: «who is not with me, it's against me " [Mt 12,30]. From here it is, He is the Vicar of Christ, Pope, being with the Pope or against the Pope is not indifferent to the salvation. Of course this is not dell'essergli friend or foe for human reasons, but in relation to Christ.

.

A third consideration: enmity can be only apparent, but can hide a real friendship. It is precisely because we want good friend, that can happen that are opposed to berate or, in order to correct it, perhaps giving the impression to be his enemies. If in fact the friend, out of pride, It is attached to the defect that we rebuke, He will take it wrong and think that we are enemies, and sometimes, Unfortunately, also tend to behave accordingly, ie to treat us as enemies.

.

So similarly friendship may be false, ie it can hide a real enmity. The false friend is a simulator that flatters the faults of the other as if they were virtues, evidently not because he loves him, but for dishonest purposes, as for example to obtain favors, to corrupt or dishonest use that person or to other reasons. It may happen, however, that another like to be loved in this way false dishonest for similar reasons, so that arises between them a dishonest bond on both sides.

.

How to adjust when it comes to judging a Pontiff?

.

Padre Thomas G. Weinandy He gave it balanced concrete example, on how to behave when it comes to judging a Pontiff. Indeed, In the case of the Roman Pontiff, we must add some distinctions. What it means to be a friend or enemy of the Roman Pontiff? That the Roman Pontiff is indeed a very special case. Of course, nothing prevents him from cultivating virtuous or less virtuous friends in the human sense, and nothing can prevent him to be loved or opposed to merely human reasons, perhaps not always honest. You can have friends, which they are actually enemies; and may have friends who seem to enemies. He himself can work hard and make mistakes in discernment. Here certainly it does not have the charism of Peter.

.

The Roman Pontiff can be warned, recommended, warned by real friends, which, however, if he does not understand their intent, can bother him. Even him, on this floor, may not be correct and prudent in friendship and be inadvertent victim or consent of questionable friendships to say false and harmful. And so it may deserve reprimands and warnings. In fact, we must keep in mind that every Pontiff is simultaneously and inseparably the Roman Pontiff, and the legitimate Pontiff is this Roman Pontiff. That is, we must distinguish the Pontiff as Pontiff, infallible master of the evangelical truth and the Pontiff as a man, sinner or saint, fallibile, redeemed by Christ, with strengths and psychological defects, intellectuals, moral and cultural.

.

But the true and holy friendship with the Pontiff, saving friendship, It can not be that supernatural, of charity, Faith Based, that is by Catholics. And he himself, as Successor of the Prince of Apostles, It can not help but feel privileged friendship with the Catholic faithful, although to them it is not forbidden in the correct moral conduct. False instead is the friendship of those who would like to correct in doctrine.

.

So he is bound to love more Catholics who are in full communion with him, especially if virtuous, rather than those who are not in full communion with the Church, as for example the Protestants, the modernists, the Lefebvrians, or even it is out, such as Jews and Muslims, or that he is against, as the Freemasons or communists. Instead, unfortunately here we can be seen in the Roman Pontiff of partiality. It shows indiscreet excessive praise and familiarity with who should be more cautious and keep away, making him more and more big fuss, and at the same time he does not hesitate to skimp coldness, hardness or discourtesy with certain Catholic, Also high ranking, maybe conservatives, but all in all Orthodox and lovers of the Vicar of Christ on earth, just because they allow him some observation or open to question.

.

How well is false friendship for the Pope of those Catholics who turn away from sound doctrine, of which the Roman Pontiff is the supreme guardian. They, part of their, It is sadly neglected in this supreme and his office seems too benevolent or condescending toward them, who are skilled simulators, so much so that at the modernists have made the reputation of "friends of the Pope", while the "enemies" would be those that call in its duty as guardian of sound doctrine. And about that, Unfortunately, He does not intervene to rectify, both remain insensitive to the pleas, It is allowing this slander has credit, and it is indeed dealing harshly those who rightly and respectfully scolded him, It is almost the enemy, when in fact it is true subject and devoted, who wants nothing more that the Roman Pontiff face the Roman Pontiff.

.

False friends and apparent enemies

.

It is true that there are false friends that look like the Pharisees, Catholics who recognize the Petrine office, unlike the "friends" modernists, pretending to accept, but in reality they deny, because they are crypto-Lutherans. This last, so-called "friends" or would-be, dogmatized fact certain words and incautious and questionable actions of the reigning Pontiff as if they were divine interventions and conversely easily deny the dogmas of the Catholic faith as they were antiquated myths or distort modernist sense the doctrines of Vatican II. They question the dogmatic teaching of the Pope and take his mistakes and his indiscretions at face value, prophecies as high and indisputable and non-negotiable values, so that, touched the heart, judge with contempt "the Pope's enemies" those who discover their altars, and they just in the Church as legitimate dissent.

.

But one has to recognize the nefarious action of these Catholics pharisaical that, in the name of a false notion of Tradition and considering "modernist" the doctrines of the Council, unfortunately they are animated to the Supreme Pontiff by a sharp-eyed zeal and bitter, inquisitorial and wiseacre, lack of understanding and love and always playing in bad everything he does, always launched in the search for her every misstep real or perceived, and ever attentive to his virtues and good qualities. They capture but some of his moral defects, but then they pass the limit of accusing heresy, something gravely slanderous and unacceptable for a Catholic and leave rather Luther, although it is true that the reigning Pope occasionally writes or blurts out a few sentences, which it could be interpreted in that sense, but that it is clarified with a suitable exegesis. But fault of the reigning Pontiff - which admittedly with regret -, It is imprudence and almost duplicity in expressing, no correct or refute the misinterpretations.

.

These troublemakers Catholic and reactionary, in order to have a loophole to reject as incorrect the ordinary Magisterium of the Supreme Pontiff, They claim that papal infallibility is limited to the solemn definitions of new dogmas, which it happens very rarely. Whereby, to pay homage to the homilies that the reigning Pope is at the Domus Sanctae Martha, and hold them impossible to falsify, one would say that they wish to set as a condition that every time he pronounces the state that fact defined truth of faith.

.

As I love the Successor of Peter? First of always telling the truth, species that uncomfortable

.

What does it say then love the Successor of Peter? As we may be his friends? We answer that it is necessary to love the Roman Pontiff as Roman Pontiff, then of a friendship supernatural, founded on the knowledge that he is the Vicar of Christ, without excluding the possibility of feeding for him even one human sympathy or otherwise without excluding the lawfulness that there is humanly sympathetic [cf reference to an old article of the Father Ariel WHO]. The first friendship is the duty of charity, faith-based office Petrine; the second, if there is, It is good, nor it depends on us to get it, although it is not lust after evil; but it is not essential for salvation, as instead it is the first. It is clear, however, that if we are enemies of the Roman Pontiff as Roman Pontiff, as did Luther, We risk Hell; but we risk even if we are personal enemies, ie as a simple man or brother.

.

How and in what sense the Holy Father we can be friends? What kind of friendship we can receive from him or give him? Of course, Friendship is always a disinterested benevolence of predilection or preference towards those with whom we feel particularly close spontaneously and, similar or related; It is a closer link, deeper and more rewarding than it is the common and universal love of neighbor, mandatory for all. Instead being a friend is not a duty that we have towards all, but only with those with whom we have an affinity, as Goethe said, in order to a more perfect life. Next to me is still next door without the chose; Instead friendships me choose. Can I be forced to meet that figure next, but no one can force me to have that particular friend. As though there are obligations towards others, so there are obligations to his friend and sometimes more stringent.

.

In this sense it is normal that the Pope has his friends, while for us it is not excluded the possibility of becoming friends of the Supreme Pontiff. A similar be done to enemies: Pathological would think one was the enemy of all or feel like all his enemies. Every normal person has his friends, although few. And the Supreme Pontiff, obviously, It is among them. So if we talk about friends of the Supreme Pontiff, we mean first of all the limited circle of people, which, from a human or spiritual point of view, By chance occurrence;, They are found to be cherished by him, or feel particularly in tune with him. In this there is nothing wrong.

.

What is the difference between being an enemy of the Supreme Pontiff and the avversarlo rightly and legitimately? Not any opposition or criticism or disobedience to the Holy Father is with this same lack of respect to his august person of man and the Vicar of Christ, but it may be necessary reminder of the shortcomings or human faults or failures of the Vicar of Christ. Luther's mistake was not so much to reproach the Roman Pontiff his pomp, his attachment to power and riches, and economic exploitation of the German people under the pretext of religion, but it was to pretend to correct it on the level of doctrine and morality. A Pope who does not accept submissions or appeals or petitions or not admit any protest or complaint or being criticized, where it is criticized by real friends and wise and trusted advisors, lack of humility and be a tyrant, which is very unfortunate, as well as give her and the Church, which severely avvilirebbe the dignity and the moral prestige of the Servant of the servants of God.

.

Legitimate complaints

.

Hate is a bad adviser. Criticism livorose, but they hit the mark, They are ineffective or get a counterproductive effect and make the author go in the wrong. Corrections are always made with love, but it does not rule out the severity and combativeness, because sometimes they can achieve what meekness can not reach. He who speaks in a low voice is not heard by the deaf: you have to lift up the voice. Jesus took a whip to drive out the merchants from the temple, because there was no other means.

.

St. Caterina da Siena, in writing to the Supreme Pontiff, He intimidates him with the memory of his tremendous responsibilities. St. Francis de Sales said that you catch more flies with a spoonful of honey than with a barrel of vinegar. It's true. But first of all it depends on whether, and also from what we want to achieve, because it tastes much better after having the salad sprinkled with a few drops of fine balsamic vinegar of Modena, than after having poured over the Sicilian honey Sortino, which it is also a high quality honey. But legitimate complaints can be made just because you love the Pope and wants his high office is done well, while his false friends, that actually are dangerous enemies, They stracceranno his clothes against the "enemies of the Pope", because they see danger in the episcopal chair obtained with so much effort by many incensations to rahneriani and favoritism granted to them by a naive and maneuverable Pope.

.

Here then we are not dealing with a presumptuous claim to teach the Vicar of Christ to lead the Church, but simply to remind him what he himself tells us in his office of leadership in the Church, always with the reserve of wanting to always be confidently subdued, although its directives seem to us at times unjust.

.

Of course, Modesty is necessary in these oppositions, Why, if it is true that he can make a mistake, even more so we can make mistakes; and this modesty has demonstrated the whole Father Thomas G. Weinandy through his amiable and balanced letter. Of course there can be some exceptional circumstances where, for serious and obvious facts, we are right against the Pope. So it takes a lot of courage and prophetic parresia, ready to suffer persecution. These circumstances, But - mind they -must not refer to his teaching office, but its moral and pastoral conduct or the government of the Church. Because in the first case, the Supreme Pontiff is infallible, while in the second, can fall is wrong in serious sin. In the first case, the Pope can not be corrected, because it is only he who can correct us. In the second case, we can correct us, but even more so is he who corrects us.

The inscription above the aisles of the cathedral of Syracuse: Syracuse is the daughter of the Church of St. Peter at Antioch after the first dedicated to Christ [the Church of Syracuse is the first daughter of the Apostle Saint Peter and the second one after the Church of Antioch]

Within in a matter not pertinent issues of our magazine, it does not deal with topical, but only of ecclesial theology and pastoral updating, even if the fact on which the comment relates spend a fact of ecclesiastical nature.

.

We start from a given: the title given does not convey the idea, because one of Syracuse is not only a great Church made so by his being old, Church is a glorious. Who enters his metropolitan cathedral was struck by the columns supporting the two aisles file, these are the columns of the ancient Doric temple dedicated to Athena, dating from the seventh century B.C.. Above the columns of these aisles dominated by the written: «Syracuse is in the Church of St. Peter at Antioch Christ after the daughter of the first dedicated ».

.

The inscription above the aisles of the cathedral of Syracuse

Church of apostolic foundation, Syracuse is "the first daughter of the Blessed Apostle Peter and second after the Church of Antioch", as indicated by the venerable Latin inscription above the aisles. The Blessed Apostle will in fact sent the Martian bishop to erect and, a few years later, He was visited by the Blessed Apostolo Paolo during an apostolic journey documented in the Acts of the Apostles: "We landed in Syracuse, where we stayed three days' [At 28,13]. With the local Christian community the Blessed Apostle he entertained in the catacombs dedicated after St. Giovanni Evangelista, which incidentally is the oldest of the catacombs of Rome.

Syracuse has given the Church a figure of particular importance, if we consider that the Beata martire Lucy of Syracuse, together with Agata, Agnese, Cecilia and Anastasia, are the great martyrs mentioned in the Roman Canon of the Mass. And while many of today's large diocese in the central and northern parts of our country were still far from being erected centuries, during the first councils and synods of the Church of Syracuse Bishop signature appears on documents shortly after that of the Bishop of Rome. Even today, in the heart of the ancient Greek city of Syracuse, which it is the island of Ortigia [cf. WHO], you can visit the early Christian basilica dedicated to St. Peter, one of the oldest churches in Europe, built before the Council held at Nicaea in the year 325 [see pictures and guide, WHO].

.

Syracuse, early Christian basilica of St. Peter, dating back to the early fourth century [see gallery, WHO]

I remember with tender emotion when in October 2010, While they were living in Rome for several meetings to the Holy See, I accompanied two American bishops visiting Syracuse, one of which is now a cardinal. In the eyes of these two places men driving two respective large dioceses, I caught several times a sense of fear and dread, or as he said one of the two: "In the United States we consider my oldest archdiocese founded in 1790, But before these ancient stones I feel really little more than a bishop-child ».

.

Syracuse, Catacombs of St. John, to encrypt del protovescovo Marziano [ Antioch, I sec. – Syracuse, early second century]

At Syracuse I wrote on the pages of a commemorative book of the Apostolic Nunciature in Italy, which collaborated for the part historical and theological; book then published in 2016 by Libreria Editrice Vaticana. And starting from the ancient Siracusa I treated the figure of the ancient apocrisari - the ancestors of the current apostolic nuncios - moving between East and West. But most of all I treated stories dating back to the ancient times of the fifth and eighth century linked to a particular ecclesiastical institute: The legation of Sicily, from the year 1098. I allowed this mention between the lines just because a book is a public act, and it is also reported my name contributor, but if it were "office jobs", I'd be careful not to do any kind of mention.

poster of the conference sponsored by the Grand Orient of Italy in Syracuse

Very it would be telling, this introduction, however, may suffice to give a well-deserved lesson to the so-called speakers fake news, or to those two lines or a single title write and they spread the news network with the stomach instead of her brain, if not worse giving irrevocable judgments.

.

It is indeed happened that as of this morning came to the editorial office The Island of Patmos numerous emails from Italy and abroad written by people who, shouting in much the scandal, wondering how it is that Freemasonry in Syracuse is promoted by the local Church.

.

S. AND. Mons. Salvatore Pappalardo, Archbishop of Syracuse, in a brief interview on the occasion of the feast of Saint Lucia [click on image to open the video]

The Church of Syracuse is governed by S.It is. Mons. Salvatore Pappalardo, 72 year old, man anything but naive, and behind all the experience necessary. After working as a young priest in a parish in Catania, his diocese of origin, He was chosen as the diocesan vicar general. Nine years later he was promoted to the bishopric of Nicosia, a small diocese in which today is still alive in people remember his amiable man of Mediterranean sunshine. On him I think I can express direct knowledge, because I know him for many years, appreciate those traits of Christian humility often unknown to some of his pretini trendy, that after going to Rome and caught a Litmus Test that PhD, begin to strut with flute Martini with olive, between a nocturnal conversation and the other in Jerusalem, looking good from learning from their bishop virtue of true shepherds of souls care, which it is precisely that of humility. As we know, however,, to abate humility have always been the poor who do not accept and respect on and off the surroundings of the tower around which is their fan club they are emeritus unknown in the canonical context, theological and biblical, pace of their litmus paper soaked in acid amount directly proportionate to their actual lack of knowledge and wisdom.

.

S. AND. Mons. Salvatore Pappalardo, Archbishop of Syracuse

A pastoral experience man, prudent and even humble like the current Metropolitan Archbishop of Syracuse, He never would fall into a similar trap, and in fact there fell. What really happened is simply this: those four freelancers and more or less trombones clinicians who make up one of the local Masonic lodges, They requested a comparison during a conference sponsored by the Grand Orient of Italy. Then, that the picciotti Freemasonry have printed in the event poster Christ with a compass, is a lack of good taste certainly not attributable to the Archdiocese, because on the poster there is neither the emblem of Archbishop Metropolitan or the words "With the auspices of the Archdiocese of Syracuse". Therefore, who asks a comparison, the Church has always comparing. And this confrontation will be held by a bishop and a priest, both theologians. To confront the esoteric Freemasons will indeed S.It is. Mons. Antonio Staglianò, Suffragan bishop of the diocese of Noto, that the occurrence will not occur with his guitar singing an adaptation of Edoardo Bennato: "Thank god, now there is the mason " [cf. original WHO], and the Rev. Prof. Maurizio Aliotta, Syracuse priest and Vicar General Emeritus of the Archdiocese.

.

a group of knights of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, one of the various orders of chivalry Catholics who enjoys extensive infiltration by adhering to masonic lodges

The one and the other definitely will put into light because, between the Church and Freemasonry, can there be a confrontation or exchange of divergent opinions, but that the membership of Freemasonry is something incompatible with belonging to the Catholic Church. And of this, either the bishop or the priest, in their capacity as theologians will explain some of the reasons. It will be a very useful and instructive, reiterate this. It will be useful and informative when the next religious holidays, the Knights of Malta and the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher - not a few of whom divide their evenings between the meetings at the Masonic Lodges and those at the headquarters of these ancient Catholic Equestrian Orders -, wallpaper will be presented with their cloaks in the processions of those Saints and those Sante on which the esoteric Freemasons laugh always on with ironic wit to Voltaire.

.

a group of knights of the Order of Malta, one of the orders of chivalry Catholic among the most infiltrated by members of masonic lodges

It will be up to the bishop of Noto, in his capacity as a theologian and especially as a member of the College of Bishops, explain to Freemasons that to try to use and abuse the figure of the Supreme Pontiff Francis I - as was done in the recent past in Rome before the historian Alberto Melloni and the flirtatious feminist theologian Marinella Perroni [cf. WHO, pag. 6-9] —, What is not possible or feasible, because in his approach to Freemasonry, the reigning Pope does not think differently from how they thought the Blessed Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII, just take note of what he says about it [cf. WHO]. It is not by chance, the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke asked clearly to clean up the Order of the Knights of Malta from Masonic infiltration and double membership of certain members of the Order and the Lodges, implicitly stressing that membership in the Masonic Lodges thing is incompatible with belonging to the Catholic Church.

.

the Blessed Pontiff Pius IX [Senigallia 1792-Rome 1878]

The reference made to the Blessed Pontiff Pius IX It is not random, because the freemasons and liberals, long before groped to exploit the Pope Francis I, They tried to exploit that his predecessor shouting: "Long live the Liberal Pope!». Just like today think they can cheat shouting "Long live Francesco" revolutionary "».

.

Faced with this meeting no need to be upset, just know it like it is, without stopping to two lines written on a poster. In conclusion, this latest stunt Masonic, takes place in the land of ocelots in which priests, with their two thousand years of history, among all ocelots are the finest, well most of those kids with apron playing with teams and compasses, born just three centuries ago and known as Freemasons. But the evidence shows the same as always, those who cried out to the Roman Pontiff Pius IX "Long live the Liberal Pope», those who today would like to shout "Long live Francesco" revolutionary "», talking pomposity of a history of the Church who do not know, a theology that ignore, a Second Vatican Council which have only read a few articles in the newspapers radical chic, but which they ignore the knowledge of essential documents. This is what I myself have been able to verify several times talking to the provincial non-Masons, as in the case in question, but with Masons at the highest levels of international Freemasonry. One thing is certain, for us Catholics the memorable sentence launched by Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical The Human race the 1884, against the philosophical and moral relativism of Freemasonry, today remains more than ever topical [see text, WHO].

.

the text of the encyclical The Human race the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII is readable WHO

If there is a page of history that young Masons the province did not understand about the old Catholic Church, it's this one: when Napoleone Bonaparte in 1806 He carried away captive to France Pope Pius VII, with his typical arrogance he said to Cardinal Ercole Consalvi Secretary of State of His Holiness: "In few years, I have destroyed the Church!». But Cardinal, so very serene answered: "No, Majesty! we did not succeed we priests in seventeen centuries to destroy it, even she will not succeed ". And a few years later, Bonaparte, He was imprisoned at St. Helena, where his life ended, while the Pope Pius VII returned to Rome on 24 May of 1814 welcomed by the Roman people celebrating with cries of "Viva Maria alive Pius VII !»

.

They are too esoteric, these four young boys in career aspirants to hospital primary charge, the most professional firm in view of the City, in the political race ... but "high ideals Masonic"! We know well, which lobby of businessmen is always Freemasonry and what turns handles patronage. Even for this again: they are too esoteric, these four young boys, to learn from the history of the Church which is two thousand years old, but with whom they think every now and then you can play, without knowing if her uterus saint enclosed in his Mystical Body has horizontal or vertical opening ...

Prophesy against the shepherds of Israel [This 34,2]

Your shepherds are asleep [Already 3,18]

.

.

depiction of the Holy Spirit in St. Peter Archbasilica

God guides the Church normally through our pastors, but nevertheless, his entire People possess the Holy Spirit. If for what these exceptional times pastors are not doing their duty, the Holy Spirit enlightens the faithful directly, that always referring to the Magisterium of the Church, also know the path of truth and the means of sustaining it, although many pastors neglect to indicate, to warn against deviations and dangers, to bring back on the right path those who came out or was lost, to punish those who lead astray by deception. Not to mention the shepherds, with their reprehensible conduct or their perverse ideas, They are an obstacle to those who want to walk along the right path. And in these situations can happen that the Supreme Shepherd, Vicar of Christ, the stone on which Christ wants to build his Church [cf. Mt 16, 13-20], is unable to control and properly manage the ecclesial community and ecclesiastical.

.

Just a few days of each on the other, there were two emblematic events, before which, even the most staunch defenders, those for which the reigning Pope is more perfect than Christ Himself [see previous article, WHO], They can not help but wonder, if they even survive one single shred of analytical clarity. The two facts are as follows: S. AND. Mons. Nunzio Galantine, Secretary General of the Italian Episcopal Conference, It has wickedly sproloquiato that Martin Luther's "reform" was "a gift of the Holy Spirit», and His Eminence Cardinale Robert Sarah, which it is able to reach its current seventy-two years because the then bloodthirsty dictator of Guinea did not have time to kill [cf. WHO], It was denied by the Supreme Pontiff for the question concerning the translation of liturgical texts. The fact is reported by the magazine The New Compass Daily [cf. WHO] it has also made available the original text of the papal letter [cf. WHO]. The news agency Vatican Insider, merely to bring the true story, as it does in principle precisely in its capacity as an information agency, It provides in this regard an accurate summary of the fact [cf. WHO].

.

We do not do news, but theology and ecclesiology, Instead we enter just part of the socio-ecclesial interpretations, because this is our job and our mission. And the fact is disturbing to say the least this: as you can "fix" immediately and expeditiously Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments - something completely legitimate by any Roman Pontiff in the chair -, but at the same time, however, defer the number two C.E.I praising Luther so truly blasphemous to a symposium held at the Pontifical Lateran University? [cf. our article WHO]. It is perhaps abolished the ecclesiastical law, and along with it also the common sense, to give unbridled: the sheer arbitrariness and tyranny in the name of dialogue, of collegiality and especially of mercy? Because before objective data such as those just reported, say that we are before a pastoral way of acting deranged, It is really a euphemism. What in fact the Bishop Nunzio Galantino enunciated, and the context in which it has enunciated, revealing first a real donkey in the field of theology and church history, He would have to behave as an obvious consequence its immediate removal from the post of Secretary General C.E.I. The first to call for his immediate removal, They should have been the members of this Conference, if the test of facts were not of bunnies lying inside that flickering conigliera called precisely Italian Episcopal Conference.

.

That's why when you can not rely on driving and protection of the Pastors to whom is entrusted the People of God, We have to trust that the Holy Spirit enlighten and guide by other means and lighting the People of God. Indeed, ithe recent scandalous case of the Nuncio Bishop Galantino apologist Luther, It is impressive and clear symptom of a serious identity crisis Italian Episcopate. Anyone who wants to take a trip back in the archive of this our Johannine Patmos Island, You will find dozens of articles, which we speak of the now dramatic situation of our episcopate [among many see WHO, WHO, etc ..]. Ma, as is known, similar situations - if you do a lot worse -, There are also other Bishops Conferences, especially European.

.

We want to dedicate a few words episcopacy that Cardinal Cláudio Hummes, current strong supporter of "married priests as an experiment", He has bequeathed to Brazil? Because for one thing, given the moral situation of the Brazilian clergy, the pious Cardinal Teutonico-Brazilian It should first specify whether he means to married priests than married women or those most likely to married men. A concrete example in this regard? Soon said: a Brazilian priest who between 2009 and the 2010 He was in Rome at an international Priestly House, then he returned to Brazil at the end of specialized studies carried out in ancient City, at the end of last year he was summoned and informed that he had been chosen as Bishop of the suffragan dioceses of a large metropolitan archbishopric. After immediately put before its refusal, This holy priest also explained the reason for his refusal, making precise statements that the next day he wrote in confidence to the Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, with whom he lived in contact for a whole year, to be exact wrote to him word for word:

.

"In that diocese, an average of seven out of ten priests are homosexual, most of them with very serious doctrinal problems. How can, a bishop, govern and the pastoral care of a diocese not to have priests who are reliable and presentable?».

.

To this must be added the fact that the bishop of that diocese, Although several years away from the completion of the seventy-fifth birthday, It had been removed under the pontificate of Benedict XVI, after Santa had been informed and had taken note of his dangerous run the diocese, especially as it regards the morality of the clergy. And the reasoned response of my brother, then transmitted to the Holy See, someone has read both at the Secretariat of State and the Congregation for Bishops. Well, what he has to say, about that, Cardinale yl Cláudio Hummes, which for many years, of Brazil, It was both master, both great incinerator ? Because his farfetched idea of ​​married priests as an experiment "" in the Amazon region of Brazil, It produces very worst effects of incineration of forests carried out by anti-environmentalist multinationals. E, After this her burning, it will not be easy to fix the error by writing or singing ... Praised be You '.

.

This weakness or withdrawal of the episcopate It is a morbid phenomenon that had its beginnings since the immediate post-conciliar, when, a misunderstanding of the new ministry and new evangelization promoted by the Council, He began to spread among the bishops of the belief that all people are of good will - what we now call "doing good" -, for which there are no more sins to punish or conduct or ideas to be corrected, but mistakes out of ignorance or good faith, or weaknesses to tolerate, compassionate and forgiving; that they no longer had to exercise coercive power or discipline or condemn heresies, but only dialogue with all, search only what unites and refusing to resolve issues that arise from that which divides; that the Church had no more enemies to fight or exclude, but only "different" to understand, appreciate, integrate, receive and accept.

.

Unfortunately this evil, in the last decades, it came exacerbating, until it reaches the symptomatic case and unheard of Bishop Nunzio Galantino; If it should be for all bishops a warning bell that finally must change his route and retrieve that pastoral wisdom that characterizes the true good pastor, who knows how to skillfully connect sound doctrine and pastoral prudence, communion with the Roman Pontiff and collegial communion, Justice and mercy, firmness and sweetness, Meekness and courage, reception and vigilance, piety and zeal, fidelity and renewal, disinterest and generosity.

The escalation of bullying

They are also extreme cases rising, in which good Catholics, who intend to remain faithful to the truth and give frank testimony, not only they are poorly tolerated by modernist bishops and relaxed, but actually persecuted, perhaps in the name of "mercy", so far ahead it is hypocrisy and injustice joints. Not even popes saints as Paul VI and Giovanni Paolo II were able to stop the rising tide of the episcopate modernist and secularist, which now has infiltrated the Holy See itself closer to the Roman Pontiff or of self-styled or so-called "friends of the Pope".

.

The reigning Pontiff has inherited a very heavy ecclesial reality if not tragic, and it's no surprise that he has great difficulty in governing the Church and correct abuses. A Pope can also be a saint - and we have recent examples -, but if the episcopate is not united and docile, no spirit of collaboration and helpless, above all, to defend him, he can do little and somehow, as seems to have privately said the Holy Father Francis: "His hands are tied" [see previous article, WHO]. Then, that these hands have finished tied in part due to his work and, this is another and equally complex speech.

.

It is then that unfortunately Add, as we have already pointed out several times on our lines, the reigning Pontiff does not correct the modernist interpretation of the Council given in the turbulent season of the post-conciliar, as did its predecessors Supreme, or it corrects the well known defects in the pastoral Vatican II, When he had to say that his Supreme Predecessor, It should not be treated "like a totally new beginning, like a superdogma that makes everything else irrelevant " [cf. WHO]. Its feel-good trend and too uncritically open to a dialogue optimistic at all costs and whatever the cost, with the consequence of aggravating not just the church and clergy problems for half a century we drag behind. Moreover, rather than imitate the examples most worthy of Pontiffs who immediately preceded him, the reigning Pontiff seems to want to do too much in his own way, moreover ill-advised, with the result that the situation of the Church is now more than ever confused, conflictual and problematic.

.

.

What is making the reigning Pontiff ?

.

.

the Chair of the Bishop of Rome in the largest basilica of St. John Lateran

Hard to know where the reigning Pope He wants to guide us. It shows very active, reaps success, but reaps unfortunately among the enemies of the Church, while Catholics devotees manifest themselves increasingly disoriented. Maybe even from this, It comes the episcopate concerns. Not that he lacks the initiatives, But a question comes spontaneously: What is announcing? What is your message? What are its guiding ideas? What we propose? He signed an encyclical, however beautiful, Posting of the Gospel [cf. text WHO]. Ma, in practice, There really is announcing the Gospel? There is announcing Christ, the only Savior of the world? Are you telling us that only in Christ is there salvation? There is announcing a duty to do penance, because the kingdom of heaven is approaching? It teaches us to conquer the world, to save him and to lead him to Christ? There is announcing the coming of Christ as judge? Or simply to promote a peace meeting between all religions in working together for the cause of humanity, especially the poor and oppressed? He is calling all to Christ or is content to talk and to do only on the human level agreements?

.

The historic mission that maybe the Holy Spirit has given to the reigning Pontiff It is to convene, on the stimulus of Vatican II, all nations around Christ. AND, at the bottom of, what it was contained in the motto engraved on the shield of the Papal Holy Pontiff Pius X: establish all things in Christ. In Pope Francis sees this effort to accept all, to contact all, to welcome all, go to all, with particular attention to the poor. Rarely is the question of true or false, He never speaks of dogma or heresy, but it is almost always engaged in an economic issue, social, ecological, humanitarian and moral, if not political.

.

The Gospel, But, not only announces mercy, but the doomsday, of which Christ the Lord speaks very clearly:

.

"But I say unto you that every idle word that men give account thereof in the day of judgment".

.

There is not only social justice, but there is also justice and wrath:

.

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him " [GV 3, 36].

.

There is just opening, but also the closure and the announcement of a very severe punishment, an example among many:

.

«[…] If the house is worthy, your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or will not listen to your words, leave that house or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly, I say, the day of judgment the land of Sodom and Gomorrah shall be more tolerable fate of that city ' [Mt 10, 13-15].

.

It takes the bridges, but also the walls. At the wedding feast are so invited all, but you have to go with the wedding dress, otherwise it is not allowed:

.

«[…] He saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment, he told him: Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding? And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants: Bind him hand and foot and cast into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen " [Mt 22, 11-14].

.

Faced with unambiguous and clear words how these imprinted on the Holy Gospel, the solutions are only two, there is not a third that is vague or intermediate, therefore: and we acknowledge that the Word of God made Man, which is embodied mercy, He speaks and warns with extreme clarity, or, before certain fragrant today drifts a stubborn refusal to accept such words as God's wrath, punishment, pena, eternal damnation ... we must realize that there is someone who is more welcoming, includente, accommodating and mercy of Christ God himself. For as the Blessed Apostolo Paolo instructs us:

.

"Well, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel other than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed! We have already said it and now I repeat it: if any man preach a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be accursed! Indeed, It is perhaps the favor of men that I intend to earn, or rather that of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, do not be a servant of Christ!» [Gal 1, 8-10].

.

In these lines, the Blessed Apostle, paying particular attention to the guides of the People of God, She teaches how to act an apostle, but especially to those who the Apostle should always try to please: to God, not to men.

.

It should be quite clear, and especially in these times in which the Church welcomes all and above all that is not Catholic, that excluding the damage and danger, It is not exclusivism, elitism and discrimination, but prudence and defend us and our loved ones. What is there to do the dog about the fold? Perhaps a dialogue with the sheep? He says that Christ pastor who runs away Upon arriving Wolf? Perhaps you remember his exact words:

.

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The hired, that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, He leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters " [GV 10, 11-12].

.

Or anyone believes that today the wolves no longer exist? Of course, if the wolves exist, even they go to the Vatican to do interviews and then write to Pastor, without being contradicted by the Holy See, nonsense of this kind:

.

"... Pope Francis abolished places after death the souls should go: Inferno, Purgatory, Paradiso […] All souls have the grace and therefore are born perfectly innocent, and these remain unless you take up the way of evil. If they are aware of it and do not repent even at death, they are condemned. Pope Francis - I repeat - abolished the places of eternal residence in 'Beyond the souls. The thesis he sustained is that the souls dominated by evil and do not repent cease to exist and those that have been redeemed from evil will be made from bliss contemplating God. This is the thesis of Francis' [see article by John Cavalcoli, WHO].

.

Membership in the Church It does not coincide with the mere membership of this world: to belong to the Church, efforts should be made to overcome the world in its seductions and its dangers, and save it to where it can be salvageable. If there is a criterion of discernment between those who can belong to the Church and who is not, since it still must be said either yes or no [cf. Mt 5,37] It is welcome indiscriminate verification, which has its counterpart in the indiscriminate exclusion. It says yes to those who deserve no and we say no to those who deserve the yes. At that point, it so happens that an unenlightened mercy and not offset by Justice, a good criterion to distinguish from each other, It ends up producing the opposite, that injustice, cronyism and despotism, in conclusion: the tyranny. The pastoral error of Pope Francis I is the risk of presenting an incomplete Gospel announcing the mercy and neglect justice.

.

However, we should trace the Vicar of Christ beyond appearances, which can deceive and offend, although it is not easy. And the feeling that pervades some time the Fathers of The Island of Patmos It is that the least worthy of the episcopate hardships to overcome this difficulty, misunderstand the true intent and duty of the Supreme Pontiff, influenced by modernism and very dangerous occult powers, while the good part, suffering but faithful, remains silent puzzled, or lack of courage to be heard. The vouchers are, are few and timid, because "I am wiser than the children of this world that the children of light" [LC 16, 8]. They are firmer heretics in their error that the faithful in the truth. However, in our view, after all, what today does not work is not so much the papacy, but it is the episcopate. Of course, the Supreme Pontiff has its grave responsibility to be clear; a responsibility that the Fathers de LPatmos Island They have not failed on several occasions to report, even allowing himself to exhort him to clarity and warning him against false friends and traitors. For we know that the Holy Father would be clearer in its message, if the good bishops sollecitassero to be clearer. But how do you explain this silence?

.

.

The major problem is therefore that of the episcopate

.

.

the Blessed Vergine Maria with the snake under their feet

We believe in the end is better than, instead of attacking or "correct" - not to say abuse - the Supreme Pontiff, He would find itself the tone of the ancient prophets of Israel, certainly not the heresies sown by Enzo Bianchi in the cathedral of the cathedral under the complacent smile of bishops increasingly undoctrinated who invite him to sow wickedness. And the tone of the ancient prophets of Israel, there is shown in Holy Scripture: their zeal and fiery word for the cause of God, the reproaches, the calls and warnings to the shepherds for their own good and benefit of the people, their courage, their frankness, their dedication, their mercy and their combativeness, acceptance of the sacrifices and sufferings, persecuted for righteousness. Then We will quote some of their significant step, that seems a huge and urgent topical. All in a moment when you can not understand the silence of the shepherds before the spread of heresies, the overt and blatant disregard of the natural moral law and divine and the most serious corruption of morals, especially religious, personal and family.

.

Why should we read or hear only complaints, protests and refutations dates from simple small groups of laity, journalists often, in sites, blogs and publications with limited circulation? Where did they take the theological preparation, the wisdom, the timeliness, the critical acumen and courage of which the bishops do not give evidence? Surely the Holy Spirit. But we are not like the Lutherans who believe that the Church is simply the community of the baptized by the Spirit, independently and indeed against fraud of a so-called episcopal magisterium, in which they do not believe, but which is instead an object of faith for us Catholics. If we indeed reproach and accuse our bishops, teachers of the faith and not the whoppers, it is not because we do not believe in the sacramental fullness of the priesthood they received, but it is precisely because we believe and we want that the bishops do their duty of bishops.

.

.

The wisdom of the laity

.

.

lay people and saints, an image of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati [Torino 1901 – Torino 1925] Dominican tertiary

The good laymen who rise up against heresies and injustices, for the promotion of faith, often paying in person and giving a splendid example of fidelity to the Church and at the same Supreme Pontiff, despite its lack of clarity, Referring to the teachings of the Church, often proving to theological education, solidity of convictions, evangelical parrhesia, critical acumen and skillful speaking Christian, They can not be self-taught. Not being of our Fathers The Island of Patmos exactly the unwary, It is obvious: many of these lay Catholics and Catholic journalists, behind they have masters and ecclesiastical patrons of high rank and competence, perhaps bishops, academic theologians and cardinals. Not only, reading certain writings, instantly we understand what level and rank are the inspirers, but several times we also indicated between our lines the identity of these inspiring, prompters and principals implicit or explicit, which, however, remain in the shadows in fearful and objectionable. Therefore, on the one hand some lay people are to be commended as advocates of sound doctrine and good morals, on the other, their prompters dressed in red or purplish garments, give rather squalid evidence of an unreasonable and undignified cowardice and petty opportunism, But unless impersonate, with their faithful "spokesman", for the political sopraffini.

.

It could even say that to recognize the heresies and the shepherds' blunders and senseless teologastri cantafrottole, We do not need the intelligence of St. Thomas Aquinas or hold special academic qualifications, that these days are only cards whose value is comparable to that of the marco tedesco during the great hyperinflation of the twenties of the twentieth century. Just compare just the nonsense of these pastors and foolish teologastri cantafrottole with the teachings of Catechism of the Catholic Church, and sometimes with the same principles of healthy natural reason known to all, to grasp the full enormity of their contradictions and their absurdity.

.

Then remember our bishops of glorious times in which the Athanasius and Augustine opposed with apostolic zeal against Nestorius, The Pelagio and Ario for the honor of Christ and the good of the flock from heresy troubled. Today the times are very similar to those, and zealous bishop should not fear these noble causes to stand against the enemies of truth, They were also brothers in the episcopate. But unfortunately, not a few of these timid members of the episcopate, relying on the now eighty years of the reigning Pontiff, They have already made their cynical and political accounts in the so-called father died, sending forth the laity to launch harsh accusations [see WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO], while they think they can back on the front of the wind change, if anything octogenarians achieving the "cursed" purple who run for life until the loss and the eternal damnation of their souls [please refer to this harsh article, WHO].

.

Venerable Fathers of the College of Bishops, take as a model the holy Bishop Atanasio di Alessandria who sought the glory of God and not his own glory, down in the holy battlefield without fear, but especially remembering that God's judgment on you, It will be really strict, because 'To whom much is given, much will be asked for; to whom men have committed much, It will ask the more " [LC 12, 48].

.

How, then, impostors and counterfeiters not afraid to make the best impression with impudence and shamelessness of their shameful indecencies and ye say to the four winds with intolerable arrogance of their perverse, so far more so the good bishops have come out; They must descend on the holy battlefield with zeal and courage to claim the honor of God, the rights of truth, the salvation of souls, the dignity of the sacred Episcopal class, obedience and devotion to the Supreme Pontiff, misunderstood by sycophants, dai mestatori, by traitors and false friends. Stay behind the scenes, and forward the laity, using them to express what you did not dare to express, It does not make it any of these subjects sopraffini politicians, as they believe they are, but only cowards and, As such, the real shame of the sacred college of bishops, sowers of poisons and bewilderment among the People of God already too confused and bewildered.

.

Is it possible that in front of so many follies and sins which cry before God and being committed almost daily by top-ranking ecclesiastical figures, his 250 bishops in Italy we did not find a single one who with evangelical parresia, moved by the fear of God, able to face the good fight of faith, strong charisma Episcopal, ready to suffer the humiliation of the cross, trusting in the future heavenly glory? Possible that there is only one bishop able to resonate strongly apostolic voice of truth and to shame the wicked criminals, saving souls in danger from the fire of hell? What purpose does it serve, be bishops, then when they make similar petty figures? What is this shameful inaction, This fear of failure, This carnal prudence, This reprehensible inaction, This guilty silence and this foul sloth?

.

In our different but similar experience of preachers and confessors, we Fathers de The Island of Patmos we found many times more parresia evangelical and critical acumen in the words of some cloistered nuns, that does not in some trombones and fugitives bishops who do not see and do not feel, Hidden somewhere behind the scenes to send back the others to throw in their place, often, also real poisonous stabs.

.

St. Caterina da Siena, turning to the Roman Pontiff, begs him to establish good shepherds, because they are good shepherds that make good the flock. So they do the real reform of the Church. If the pastor fact silent before the vices of the flock and does not correct them - observes the Holy Senese with fine psychology -, It is a bad sign: it is a sign that the pastor is hindered by the discomfort of his conscience, who reminds him that he is entangled in those sins from which should free the faithful.

.

Today more than ever appear topical and utilities for our shepherds calls and the calls of the great biblical prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, as a reproach:

.

"His watchmen are blind, They do not notice anything. They are all dumb dogs, they can not bark; crouching doze» [Is 56,10].

.

Pastors have neglected the flock. Then God himself cares directly with his Spirit, arousing courageous laity, so pastors are shaken from their slumber and do their duty:

.

"The Lord said: You have scattered my flock, and you are driven them away and have not you worried; there, I'll take care of you and the evil of your doings. I myself will gather the rest of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them and will bring them again to their folds; they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will set up shepherds over them that enable them to graze, so they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed; of them did not even miss a » [Gives 23,1-4].

.

The Lord rebukes the shepherds for their neglect. He himself then, through good laypeople and priests, docile to the Holy Spirit, directly takes care of the flock, but by that very fact it encourages pastors to do their duty:

.

"I am against the shepherds: I ask them on behalf of my flock and I will not let them longer graze my flock, so the shepherds shall feed themselves any more, but I tear their mouths, and my sheep will no longer be their meal. For thus saith the Lord God: there, I myself will look after my sheep, and will care. As a shepherd seeks out his flock, when in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so I will review my sheep and gather them from all the places where they were scattered in the cloudy and dark. ... I will seek the lost one, bring back the stray; I bandage the wounded and make the weak; I will take care of the fat and the strong I will feed them with justice " [This 34,10-12; 16].

.

We should remember, then the shepherds the stern warning of Christ:

.

"Whoever is ashamed of me in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels " [MC 8,38].

.

You can reduce a bishop in sad monkeys in a cage ?

.

a lovable little monkey sad

And remember, the reigning Pontiff, how prudent and Universal, His recent predecessors, They have chosen and selected the new bishops and cardinals. In both Auditors they were called and chosen men who represented all the different faces of the Church. Or in terms of sociological and journalistic that we do not like, but in any case useful to be understood by all: Augusti under the pontificates of Blessed Pope Paul VI, the Holy Father Giovanni Paolo II and Pope Benedict XVI Venerable, with commendable and wise balance bishops were consecrated and elevated to the rank of Cardinal men belonging to the different currents of the Church. We had so, and we have seen live and work together, also often switched between debates and theological clashes, bishops and cardinals progressive area, conservative or so-called traditionalist, always use these misnomers but understandable.

.

Today it seems rather to assist episcopacy of the sad monkeys in a cage. Almost all the bishops elected in the last four years, They are painful and clones and emulators sub-mediocre - or so-called monkeys - the reigning Pontiff, all caught up in a frantic race to talk about poor, of refugees and soli juice. In competition with each other to promote study meetings on the great Luther "reformer" and the value of his "reform". In competition with each other organizers in their cathedral churches lunch for the poor who face the blow of newspapers and television. All in procession with the wooden pastoral product in carpentry, competing in those sports the most "humble pectoral cross" and "poor". In short: today, a bishop, much less it would be ashamed to come to the plenary assembly of the bishops accompanied by two Ukrainian fashion models in miniskirts and transparent clothes, rather than wear a “shameful” gold pectoral cross, which also symbolizes always, such as metal, the incorruptibility of faith.

.

Having created this, It has led to kill the size of the plurality of the same collegiality, plunging the Church into provincialism and applying surreal socio-political categories of people that do not correspond to the great universal breath of the reality of God's People. A style, this, certainly not worthy of a man of extraordinary genius and ability as he could be, and as it was a Stalin, but unfortunately a style worthy of the worst and most provincial dictators the history of Latin America. And who with leveling down kills the episcopate, kills Church, and little worth then assert, in private conversations: "My hands are tied", because the day when Christ hands slegherà them to him and say, "Now show me your palms», will definitely pain, great pains, before the Tremendous majesty, which it will be very difficult to answer … “But I am poor and merciful”.

The Supreme Pontiff at high altitude: "Martin Lutero was smart». Of course, as it was also Jack the Ripper

THE POPE TO HIGH ALTITUDE: MARTIN LUTERO 'ERA INTELLIGENT ". OF COURSE, HOW I WAS EVEN JACK THE RIPPER

.

Even the famous serial killer known as Jack the Ripper was definitely smarter, is something proved by the fact that the best of the police Scotland Yard He was never able to find out who he was and still his identity is shrouded in mystery. While on his intelligence could be discussed, analyzing it from another angle. So how you should argue that it is not really intelligent Christians fall into heresy and destroy the Church, whereby, as it was obvious, Luther was not able to give any intelligent and plausible justification for the damage he has done.

Even the famous serial killer known as Jack the Ripper was definitely smarter, is something proved by the fact that the best of the police Scotland Yard was never able to find out who …

In one of our private talks, Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo returned to express his belief: "It seems that the Pope tends to give the best of themselves by plane, at high altitude, speaking to reporters'. That said expressed his other personal theories related to "brain oxygenation", on which overfly. Indeed, it was at high altitude, interviewed by a journalist during the return trip from Armenia, The Holy Father expressed arm some of his personal views on Luther, without any magisterial value, certainly some considerable, other quite questionable, because of conflicting with what the Magisterium of the Church has already expressed on Luther, especially with Leo X and the Council of Trent [the Holy Father's answer is recorded WHO by the minute 30,53 — N.d.R. In this movie you note to the right the face of Father Federico Lombardi s.j. that the question asked by the journalist to the Holy Father "... it is not the time to withdraw the excommunication of Martin Lutero ', starts to smile. Then, when the answer of the Holy Father, until it is diverted a shot by him, his face and taut like a bowstring. However, in the world of image, in which the Church has wanted to enter to spur beaten and often with reckless abandon, the images speak, inevitably the pictures speak].

Jack the Ripper hunt for victims …

This does not mean that the idea of ​​the Church of Luther He stops at those famous sixteenth century interventions, containing judgments that do not go corrected, but integrated, using the judging criteria provided Vatican Council II and taking into account the results of the ecumenism, as the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, published by Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, the 31 October 1999, who, moreover, Remember, it is simply an advisory body of the Holy See, which as such does magisterium [1], just to be clear.

Before commenting on the words of the Pope, I think it is good to admit a short presentation of the the status of the problem. In the enterprise Luther play two key factors, characteristic of the Augustinian spirituality: the problem of their personal relationship with God and the care of the good of the Church. But while Augustine was able to put it as the cornerstone of his spirituality love and contempt, Luther was always tempted by 'Love of up to contempt. He thus sought the solution not in charity, but in his fiducial faith: God saves me despite my sin. St. Augustine would say: vis Fugere Deo? Flee to God! In Luther instead faith in God takes the place of God's love.

These themes adding a strong attraction to the Christ of St. Paolo Apostolo who "gave himself for me" [Gal 2,20], This theme dear, the whole medieval spirituality, especially the Franciscan and Dominican.

Jack the Ripper hunt for victims …

Luther, initially plagued, annoyed, distressed and frightened by an exaggerated consciousness of their sins and of its fragility, excessive need for perfection and the idea of ​​a God inexorably severe, angry with him and threatening, He believed to solve his unbearable inner drama with the famous doctrine of fiducial faith, O forensic justification, for which he adamantly convinced all my life that God did not take account of his sins and save him, at only condition that he believed this, without worrying about the sins, that would always be forgiven anyway. It was in essence an inability to peacefully practice the sacrament of penance, that he appeared to be torture, humiliation and a pointless exercise, because of its proud perfectionism, for which he could not stand accused of having always the same sins.

Luther believed that the fiducial faith It was an act of great humility before God, as he acknowledged sinner, He asserted the futility and even the impossibility of good works, and became convinced that the work of justification God "merciful" did everything, while he had nothing to do, so he could safely continue to sin, which in any case could not help but, given that the permanent confused trend to sin - "lust" - with sin. Because of this, he decided to stop confession, because he was convinced to be always in grace, although always he immersed - as he thought - in mortal sin. But true humility is to recognize that good works are dutiful, possible and necessary, although not enough, and together with the consequent merits they are gifts from God.

Jack the Ripper hunt for victims …

The great drama of Luther, It had not yet begun, why he, especially as a religious and a priest, and also for a natural opening of his soul - his father wanted to direct it advocacy -, not only felt the need to care for their salvation, but also that of others and the good of the Church. And in fact his superiors in the Order immediately noticed these attitudes and soon entrusted him with numerous assignments, especially the teaching of theology.

The idea of fiducial faith Luther, however, regarded as being based on humility and trust in God's mercy, he had planted such roots in his subtly proud soul [2], he supported it as if it were true Word of God and the discovery of the true Gospel.

Luther had a very active and energetic character, generous but also authoritarian, capable of great efforts and hard work in external works, in weak while in the domain of the passions. His well-known thesis of the uselessness of "works" should not be understood in a quietist sense, fece eat Molinos, but it refers to the rejection of the ascetic discipline, all'occuparsi not the good of others, where Luther however many expenses energies and he knew gather collaborators and followers. Hence his reformer intent, Although this activism and zeal often harsh and violent was not born, as opposed to St. Augustine and all true reformers, by an ardent charity Divina, then an authentic supernatural motivation - what St. Caterina da Siena called "ardent desire" -, but its exceptional natural dynamism and her conviction of being justified by the fiducial faith.

historical archive forensic image: The victims of Jack the Ripper

So it was not true brotherly love, that flows from divine charity, or true service to God and neighbor, but - probably without you noticing it -, the need or urge to self-assertion and domination over others. And so the above arbitrary and presumptuous idea of ​​being justified caused him excessive self-confidence and the stubborn belief that God was always in him and with him, so as to have at a certain point the boldness, his, heretic, to accuse of heresy Pope Leo X who had "dared" to censor. In this way Luther it appropriated to itself that infallibility in interpreting Scripture, that Christ gave to Peter; and how well you understand, this, It has nothing to do with humility.

The tragic turning point in Luther's life It is when he breaks with the pope on the question of justification, around the 1518-19. Until then he accepts the Church in her divine essence and, with the famous 95 thesis the 1517, It is moved by the intention to reform, free it from the mundane, purify, find the original Gospel, remove encrustations and weighting, unnecessary elements and barriers, correct costumes, fight the vices, increase the virtues and the study of God's Word, forming consciences, revive their enthusiasm and fervor. Some of the ideas of this period Luther would have been taken up by the reform initiated by the Second Vatican Council, but obviously in completely different ways and doctrinal and pastoral terms.

historical portrait of Martin Lutero

But when the Pope condemned his idea of ​​justification with the famous bull Arise, O the 1520, explodes in Luther a real rage against the Pope and in general against the Magisterium of the Church, that from now on he feels as high imposter, falsifier of the Gospel, oppressor of the freedom of the Christian and the Church, Demon servo.

The idea of ​​reforming the Church turns into destruction of the Church: Luther lost the perception of what can be changed and what must be preserved and begins to remove or change essentials. Note that now his application to fund a vaunted vaunted or instance of truth, and not only and not primarily a simple reform of morals or institutions. He knows and has discovered or rediscovered, against the Pope lies, how I interpret Scripture, what is the true teaching of St. Paul, What is faith, what is the true gospel, as gains salvation, What is the Church.

Until the 1517 Luther accepts the truth of the Church and just wants to reform. From the 1520, he begins to demolish the Church, He thinks he knows what the true Church. No more re-form, ma one-way. It was the beginning of the catastrophe. For this we should go very cautious - how many times we have explained in numerous articles on this our Island of Patmos -, to call, Luther and the Lutheran "reform".

the great gash Luther the Ripper

Considering himself finally free the Magisterium of the control of the indisputable interpreter Church of Revelation, directly inspired by the Holy Spirit, Luther ends up becoming a hotbed of heresies and enormities were followed him, one behind the other, for the rest of his life, like a raging torrent, encountering considerable success until today. I am not here to list them, so they are known from five centuries. Among the Lutherans, Some errors have been corrected, others have worsened. It is, however, pleased that, Also as a result of the ecumenical activities, a passage from Luther, approached by some Catholic exegetes [3] more carefully critical, they showed, the wretched beyond expression, their intention Orthodox.

Wanting to make a balance of the so-called "reform" Lutheran, we leave to God's judgment on the private intentions of Luther and according to its rather explicit and stated intentions, according to what is in fact achieved Luther, according to the results of his "reform", according to the judgment of the Church and of history, outside of every servile fanaticism and any reprehensible demonization, to give an overall assessment of the work of Luther, just a few simple indisputable considerations accessible to all, to say with confidence, serene soul and responsible - and this is the most favorable judgment that can be given - that his "reform" has done more harm than good.

the victim of Luther the Ripper: Church Unity

First consideration. We call it "reformer"? Let's do it too, but not without taking into account the contrasting character of Luther with the true saints reformers, which produced saints, many canonized by the Church. Here are a few names known to all: St. Benedict of Nursia, Gregory VII, San Pier Damiani, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Innocent III, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Dominic, St. Caterina da Siena, the Servant of God Girolamo Savonarola, St. Ignatius of Loyola. To follow with the great reform made by the Council of Trent in a season that has been a great flowering of saints: St. Teresa of Avila, San Pio V, Saint Charles Borromeo. To follow with contemporary reformers: San Pio X, St. John XXIII, Reform of Vatican II gave in turn rise to numerous saints: Blessed Paul VI, Saint John Paul II, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, San Josemaria Escriva, Santa Teresa of Calcutta … All are enlightening comparisons that do not need comments.

Second consideration. If it took the Council of Trent to remedy the "" Luther's Reformation, it means that something went wrong. Just think of the wars of religion and religious to the tragic division of Europe. The Tridentine reform has produced immense fruits of holiness. What holiness produced instead Lutheran?

The Second Vatican Council recognized that some instances of Luther could be valid, but he never denied the scope of all its highly negative and harmful elements

Third consideration. The Second Vatican Council has promoted the recognition of valid aspects of Luther's Reformation, without ignoring the negative ones. The Protestant brothers in dialogue, we are considering?

The Holy Father, with words that have been around the world, he has declared:

"I believe that the intentions of Martin Luther were not wrong: He was a reformer ".

I think judging intentions is not easy, but in certain cases it may be possible and useful, especially when it comes to evaluating the thinking and actions of famous people, very studied, that we have left many testimonies and many documents But this is just the case of Luther, although in his conduct and in his writings they are contradictions, darkness and ambiguity. The intimate intentions, morals, the limits are known only to God, who can read the man's conscience, and the person. However, there are communicable intentions of an author, that appear by their linguistic and behavioral expression. On this floor it is not historically true to say that all of Luther's intentions were correct, because his words and his behavior instead prove the exact opposite. Here are a few examples: It was not just the intent to separate from the Roman Church. It was not just the intention to abolish the papacy. It was not just the intention to abolish the hierarchy. It was not just the intention to abolish the Magisterium of the Church. It was not just the intent to abolish the Mass and the Sacraments. It was not just the intention to abolish the Eucharistic adoration. It was not just the intention to abolish the cult of the saints. It was not just the intent to abolish the religious life. And with everything, It is very important to note that Luther did not destroy the church completely; otherwise it would not be a heretic, but an apostate. Like this, in Lutheranism, were the fundamental dogmas of the faith: One God, the creation, providence, the man the image of God, the Angels, the Trinitarian dogma, the Incarnation, the Redemption. And along with this "memory" also it remained the fundamental structure of the Church: the baptism, the grace of Christ, the salvation, God's people, and ministers, writing, prophecy, the charisms of the Spirit, prayer, the Lord's Supper, Christian ethics. All these values ​​are the basis of ecumenical relations.

The Holy Father he has declared:

"Maybe some methods were not right, but at that time we see that the Church was not exactly a role model: there was corruption in the Church, there was high society, It was no attachment to money and power. And for this he protested ".

Luther ripped through the Unity of the Church …

Perhaps it should be well noted that it is not only unjust methods, but also the goals and unjust or wrong content, such as those described above, who turned “reform” in destruction, a heresy that has created a dramatic schism.

The Holy Father followed by saying:

"He was smart, and has taken a step forward justifying why did this. And today Lutherans and Catholics, with all Protestants, we agree on the Doctrine of Justification: on this point so important he was not wrong. He made a "medicine" for the Church ".

Even the famous serial killer known as Jack the Ripper It was definitely smarter, is something proved by the fact that the best of the police Scotland Yard He was never able to find out who he was and still his identity is shrouded in mystery. While on his intelligence could be discussed, analyzing it from another angle. So how you should argue that it is not really intelligent Christians fall into heresy and destroy the Church, whereby, as it was obvious, Luther was not able to give any intelligent and plausible justification for the damage he has done. The real intelligence, It is the result of humility. The heretic, usually, He is an intelligent person, but superb and lacks charity. He does not listen to the warning of St. Paul: "Science swells. The love builds up " [And what 8,2]. The intellect it takes, ma, as Dante says, It must be a "loving understanding". In the end, if it really Luther made a "medicine", how come, the Council of Trent, It replaced it with another? In the event to: which of the two drugs is the right one?

the Roman Pontiff in Lund (Sweden) to celebrate the 500 years of “reform” of Luther, hugs at the end of a liturgy Masked lady from a Gentile “archbishop” and as such coated priestly insignia. In a world that often live image, It comes from wondering: a similar impact image, It was really necessary? And if necessary, to what, It was necessary?

The Holy Father finally concludes:

"Today dialogue is very good and that document on justification think it is one of the richest ecumenical documents, richer and deeper […] There are divisions, but also they depend on the Churches'.

Del document on justification I have already spoken above. In it we must distinguish the one hand the divisions between the churches that touch the charity ; on the other, the division or separation of the Lutherans from the Catholic church, in that, this second, It touches very deeply the truth, faith and dogma.

[2] Luther himself, Here echo of the Augustinian wisdom, He says that there is a well hidden pride in our soul. Cf Psalm 19,14: "Only by pride hidden save your servant". The problem of salvation is all here. Unfortunately Luther fell into that pride, which he had an excessive fear.
