ABOUT THE PROHIBITION OF BIRTH CONTROL: YOU REALLY REOPEN THE QUESTION ON HUMAN LIFE OF BLESSED PONTIFF PAUL VI ?

.

The prohibition of contraceptives can admit exceptions? There may be cases in which it is permissible to use them? From the way he expresses the Blessed Pope Paul VI would seem that such exceptions or cases can not be allowed: "It is absolutely excluded as lawful way for birth control the direct interruption of the generative process'. but yet, Today we talk of reopening the question ...

The Human life of the Blessed Pontiff Paul VI, 1968. To open the text of the encyclical click WHO

... if what I tried to explain very clearly in my article, regarding the prohibition of contraception established by Human life of the Blessed Pontiff Paul VI - not excluding the necessary analysis of particularly serious circumstances that are almost always part of practice in absolutely exceptional cases -, He was to end aside to make room for other kinds of reasons based on relativism, mutability and therefore the rejection of the absoluteness and immutability of the moral law, before long we run the serious risk that some "theologians" open discussions on how the lawful abortion in some particular concrete cases, invoking the "reinterpretation" of categorical and absolute ban could have an abortion. They will do so by not explaining that certain so-called "concrete cases" submitted by them, They are always of the very few edge cases, if not unique. But above all, avoiding to explain that not even a borderline case, if not unique, those that border on the unbelievable at times, It can allow and justify in any way the suppression of an innocent human life. Because life is good not available, that it will always remain so immutable and absolute, even if today, to certain "theologians" and "doctors of moral", the words unchangeable e absolute cause states of true allergy. If this problem is linked to the theological world is to a certain pastoral bad did not subsist, it would never happen that in the year 2000, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, by the will and with the full support of St. Giovanni Paolo II, he was forced to remember and complain about what some "theologians" are annoyed by words such as "unique" and "absoluteness" of faith [following article …]

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra died crucified, as the crucified and the crucified

CARDINAL CARLO CAFFARRA DEAD CROSS, HOW THE CROSS AND THE CRUCIFIED

.

[…] in this case the Pope has run misbehaved, quite a lot of. The embrace of Carpi to Cardinal Carlo Caffarra was very little, also because it was a greeting of a few seconds, just the time it takes for a photograph, while the wound of this man of God remained. Cardinal Carlo Caffarra died crucified. On the contrary, let's explain better: he died as the Crucifix and with the Crucifix.

.

.

Properly religious pain is that which weeps or one's own sin or that of others. Nor does he grieve because this evil is struck by divine justice, ma, if you get sad, it does so for what is committed by human iniquity.

a memory of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra by the television channel of the Archdiocese of Bologna, to open the video click on the image

We have lost a saint, a Holy Cardinal, honor and pride of the sacred college, that sacred college, which today unfortunately is wounded and troubled by modernist thrusts, which undermine its unity and functionality as the Pope’s support in governing the Church. It is that college of elected pastors who most closely help the Successor of Peter in his arduous apostolic office. The color of their dress, as Saint Catherine of Siena reminded them, it's red, symbolizing the blood of Christ, meaning that they must be ready to give their blood for the good of the Church. With Cardinal Carlo Caffarra we have lost a humble prince and a sturdy column of the Church, a man of God, luminary of moral theology, especially in the field of the sacrament of marriage and the family, therefore in the forefront to suffer the attacks and insults of the world and therefore despised, slandered and mocked by the modernists, exploited and vainly courted by the Lefebvrians, delighted, listened to and imitated by good Catholics, living of that "continuity in progress", which was the maximum delivery to the Church made by another great spiritual guide: Benedict XVI.

.

And he always in the breach, with indomitable firmness, until the very end, because it is founded on a solid doctrinal preparation and even more on a warm and enlightened faith, certainly not that of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini always in irresolvable discussion with the "interior" atheist.

Regarding the personality of Carlo Caffarra, we talked about intelligence, culture, honesty, love for the Church, pastorality. All true. But in my opinion, the true heart of his spirituality, is testified by some episodes of his life, where love is intertwined with pain. With Saint Paul, he has been able to say and still tells us: "There is no other boast for me than in the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ" [Gal 6,14].

.

Like Father Ariel that two days ago preceded this memory of mine on The Island of Patmos with a memory of her [cf. WHO], I too can testify to having known Cardinal Carlo Caffarra very well. There was mutual esteem and friendship between us, which drew occasion and stimulus from four factors: first, having been my bishop until 2012, that is, as long as I lived in the Convent of Bologna; second, having been my Superior as Chancellor of the Theological Faculty of Bologna, where I taught until 2011, when I became emeritus; third, having been appointed by him as an exorcist of the diocese; bedroom, having been, until the end of his episcopal mandate, Judge of the Diocesan Tribunal for the Cause of Beatification of the Servant of God Father Tomas Tyn, diocesan inquiry in which, until the 2013, I have carried out the function of vice-postulator.

.

On the occasion of a visit to the Cardinal in 2012, linked to my office as vice-postulator, he told me with emotion that since he was a seminarian he loved to make frequent pilgrimages on foot, starting from Busseto, his hometown, a few kilometers away, up to the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Rosario in Fontanellato, near Parma, directed by the Dominicans. Carlo Caffarra lived his life in the light of Mary and when he was promoted from the suffragan see of Ferrara to the metropolitan archbishopric of Bologna, from then on his devotion to the Virgin of San Luca was fervent.

.

I would like to mention three important episodes of his activity as pastor as bishop and cardinal. Despite their diversity, all three are linked by a red thread: Sante, opportune and noble initiatives, PREPARATIONS, initiated and conducted with righteous intention, competence, wisdom and courage, from which Carlo Caffarra had the right to expect much for the good of his diocese and the Church and the spread of the Gospel, and yet all three blocked and frustrated not only by obstacles coming from outside the Church, but above all from the inside, even by the higher authority.

.

Carlo Caffarra appeared to some as a loser, as Father Ariel wrote recently making a subtle reference to "we Christological failures" [cf. WHO]. And perhaps he appeared defeated to a modernist like Andrea Grillo [1], who painted him between the lines as a man overcome by history. but yet, since the cause of Carlo Caffarra was just - indeed sacrosanct -, history will prove him right, and Grillo will be shamed, while from now on the holy Cardinal finds himself triumphant over his enemies in celestial glory, to which he ascended for having been a faithful servant of Christ.

.

"I would have been more pleased if it were said that the Archbishop of Bologna has a mistress, instead of saying that he is against the Pope ", from an interview with Tv2000, to open the video click on the image

The three salient episodes of his life I'm: first, the deposition as Secretary of the Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family by St. John Paul II in 1984; second, the obstacles posed by ecclesiastical authorities to the proceeding of the diocesan investigation relating to the Cause of Beatification of the Servant of God Father Tomas Tyn, which was approved, officially open and supported by the Cardinal; third, the refusal of the reigning Pontiff to answer the now famous dubia and to receive him at the hearing. Now vwe will be as behind all three of these episodes, which at first might give the impression of not full consonance with the Church and the Supreme Pontiff, actually they, if well considered and evaluated with the right criteria, instead they show the figure of a Catholic all in one piece, very faithful to sound doctrine, excellent in Christian witness, learned and wise, mirror of Christ crucified, splendid example of a shepherd and educator, especially of young people, in full communion with the Church and the Pope, about which a few years ago, to counteract the evil voices, he said with boyish candor that he was a papist from birth, he was then and he would be until his death. Man also gifted with elegant humor, who did not hesitate to answer: "I would prefer it to be said that the Archbishop of Bologna has a lover, rather than saying that he is against the Pope " [cf. video interview WHO].

.

So let's start with the first episode and precisely from the antecedents. In the Church Carlo Caffarra chose, in his capacity as moralist and pastor, to devote himself, preferably to in-depth analysis, in full communion with the doctrine of the Church, of the study of the sacrament of marriage - great mystery [Ef 5,32] - in all its liturgical aspects, spiritual, humans, morals, psychological, sociological, canon law, civil and educational.

In this field it gained prestige and international fame. For this St. John Paul II, another great Master in this delicate and important subject, he named it, at just forty-three years old, In the 1981, at the head of the Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family [cf. WHO]. The good Carlo Caffarra, mild character and confident in the goodness of others, perhaps he did not realize the terrible and insidious war zone in which the Successor of Peter had placed him. But he left confident, strong in his faith and his solid preparation. But here's the power of darkness, concealed both inside and outside the Church, he was preparing a treacherous ambush for him. In 1984 was interviewed by a reporter, who asked him what he thought of abortion. And he, with all candor, with simplicity, clarity and sincerity, according to the dictates of the natural law and the precept of faith, without imagining what would happen, he answered calmly as usual: "Abortion is murder!». E sthus the storm broke out: something like 450 "Catholic" theologians, actually modernists, what Blessed Paul VI had already called the "parallel magisterium", they were unleashed not against poor Caffarra, but against the Pope, with hot accusations of being a medieval tyrant, in groups of 40, 50, 60 theology, from various European countries, several of which, in the following years, raised to episcopal dignity. Belgium began, to follow one after the other with other countries of past Catholic tradition: in Germany, Holland, France, Spain, and finally Italy, which acted as a "tail light", as my head office Monsignor Tommaso Mariucci commented, at the time I was working as a theological consultant at the Secretariat of State of His Holiness. What did he do, in that circumstance, the Supreme Pontiff? He removed Carlo Caffarra from office. Some in the Secretariat of State commented: “It hurt, he had to leave it in its place!». But Carlo Caffarra received a terrible wound in any case. It was a frightening test for him and, which probably upset and pained him even more, received from a Holy Pontiff, who also esteemed him, and to which if there was something that was really close to his heart, it was just the family. He must have felt all the mockery and triumph of the modernists fall upon him like a boulder. He must have felt treated with immense ingratitude for all the commitment he had lavished in that delicate office and probably had to have the impression of surrender to the laughing enemies of the Church. Why ever please them, rather than rewarding and confirming the faithful servant?

In the history of holiness, in truth, there are other cases of this kind, in which a saint, without knowing or without wanting, or simply because deceived by malicious subjects or because they are badly advised by others, does a grave wrong to another saint. But he remained silent, he did not defend himself, he didn't protest, continued in his moral uprightness, prayed and offered to the Lord. Only after long years on this line of holiness was he able to heal, a rasserenarsi, increasing his pastoral commitment, until St. John Paul II, In the 1995, he appointed him Bishop of Ferrara. Eight years passed, In the 2003 he promoted it to the metropolitan archbishopric of Bologna, the learned and the pleasure-seeker. In 2006, Benedict XVI created him a Cardinal.

.

Second episode, the Cause of Beatification of Tomas Tyn. I am not here to remember the figure of this holy and learned Dominican theologian, of Czech origin, dead to 39 years in 1990, lived in the convent of Bologna since 1972 until his death and lecturer in the Dominican Theological Study in Bologna. Father Tomas, of which you can visit the two sites [WHO e WHO], is well known to the readers of The Island of Patmos and now known in the Catholic world.

.

Carlo Caffarra admired Tomas Tyn, as well as for its virtues, also for his theological wisdom, and in it he saw a guide in the search for God and in the foundation of moral values, to remedy the errors of our time. He had guessed well, as well as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger himself wrote to Father Tyn [2], how important it was, following the best Dominican tradition, give ground, justification and certainty to moral assertions with a solid philosophy and theoretical theology. And here rI remember some significant words of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Bologna Carlo Caffarra, with which, In the Decree of Introduction of the Cause of 2006 praises the Servant of God for his fidelity to the doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas and notes how:

.

«[…] today his beatification and canonization is requested by many people who keep alive the memory of his virtues and fame of holiness already recognized by many, when he was among us " [3].

.

From the 2 al 3 December 2011, at the Convent of San Domenico in Bologna, an international conference was held organized by the Cenacolo di San Domenico Association of Bologna, from the theme "The figure and thought of Father Tomas Tyn" [4]. Cardinal Carlo Caffarra opened the proceedings with a short speech, in which he reiterated his high esteem for the Servant of God as an exemplary faithful theologian, because Thomist, to the Magisterium of the Church.

.

For Carlo Caffarra, the Cause of Father Tyn it was therefore a source of pride for his diocese, an Archdiocese like Bologna, ancient and prestigious university seat, in which the main philosophical currents of our time meet and clash. The dynamic and incisive presence of Father Tomas in this complex and difficult environment provided support and defense for the Archbishop's pastoral care in the cultural and theological field.

.

At the same time, Tomas Tyn he spared no criticism of modernist tendencies, secularists, Liberals, Marxist, you laicized, Masonic idealists, Protestants and existentialists present in the composite Bolognese culture, of which some infiltration was not absent even among his colleagues in the Theological Study, then called STAB (Bolognese Academic Theological Study).

.

Even in this enterprise the Cardinal was hindered, to the point that in the 2013 the diocesan investigation had to temporarily suspend his regular work, due to an intervention of authority evidently hostile to the Servant of God, incompetent and illegitimate intervention piloted from outside the diocesan court, who suspended the vice-postulator from his office, so that this office, still later 5 year old, it is still vacant, although until the time of suspension in 2013 the court had not found any facts or irregularities so serious as to justify the suspension of the vice-postulator's activity.

.

More pain and humiliation for Carlo Caffarra, who, in finding an interference in his functions as Judge of the Court, he gave up asserting his right, but we can imagine that on this occasion too he found consolation in the Cross. During the visit I made to him and which I spoke about earlier, having asked him if, even after the dismissal of the vice-postulator, he continued to be in favor of the Cause of Father Tomas Tyn, mi said: "And". Then, sitting as he was next to me, bowed his head in his hands, he was silent for a minute and said to me very seriously: "I can't understand why your Order's hostility towards him".

.

In the years following the 2013 until today, de facto, on a mandate from the General Postulation of the Dominican Order, the former vice-postulator continues unofficial work for the Cause, also with reference to the existence mentioned by the Decree of the numerous devotees of the Servant of God, especially in Italy and the Czech Republic [5], who maintain an interest in the thought and life of Father Tomas, they study his writings and imitate his examples, they defend it from criticism and deepen its thinking, continue to show up, they wait and pray for the resumption of the process.

Third great cross of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra was the tormented story of the dubia. Once again, a pain that came to him from the Pope, his, that if there was a man on earth who since he was a child was for him the object of his tender trust and the guarantor of his absolute security, this was precisely the Roman Pontiff. And the tremendous test had to be about that great mystery to which he had dedicated the main part of his studies, of his interests, of his publications: marriage and family. He had already suffered from this in 1984: now it was his turn to be crucified again. Even now, again, i lazzi, the derisions, the slander.

.

Not that his faith faltered under the authority of the Supreme Pontiff Francis I. Not even talking about this. But in his eyes there love joy it contained ambiguous passages, they needed to be clarified by the Pope, by virtue of his authority, also because in fact, around those steps, an enormous discord was unleashed, still not sedated. The Pope had to reiterate the dogma of marriage with unequivocal clarity.

.

But why the Pope did not answer? How come it didn't reassure him? This was his distress. Moreover, Caffarra's attitude was very different from that of Card. Raymond Burke. He illegitimately spoke of "correcting the Pope". Caffarra has never dreamed of presenting such irreverence. Evidently the two have interpreted i in the opposite sense dubia, although they have formulated them together.

Realizing the exploitation to which the dubia, he took care to make this moving declaration of fidelity to the Successor of Peter: "I wish to renew my absolute dedication and my unconditional love to the Chair of Peter and for your august person, in which I recognize the Successor of Peter and the Vicar of Jesus: the “sweet Christ on earth”, as Saint Catherine of Siena loved to say " [cf. WHO]. But what hurt him was the Pope's failure to respond, for a long time waiting, which was followed - further wound - by the refusal to receive him at the hearing. Here the Pope behaved badly, quite a lot of. Carpi's embrace was very little, also because it was a greeting of a few seconds, just the time it takes for a photograph. While the wound, to Cardinal Carlo Caffarra, remained.

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra died crucified. On the contrary, let's explain better: he died as the Crucifix and with the Crucifix.

The bad guys friends of the Holy Father: the Jesuit Antonio Spadaro between utopianism and secularism

BAD FRIENDS OF THE HOLY FATHER: BETWEEN THE JESUIT ANTONIO SPADARO utopianism And SECULARISM

.

Father Antonio Spadaro at this point moves away not only by liberation theology, but it seems to fall into the opposite of a certain attitude submissive and peace activist, that the approaching Utopianism liberal-Masonic Rousseau and enlightened matrix, that ignores the fact that original sin has left humanity in fact a tendency to injustice and violence, which can not be neutralized if not with a moderate use of force, in defense of the weak and the oppressed.

Antonio Spadaro, S.J. [open video WHO].

In an article on La Civiltà Cattolica dedicated to the problem of political fundamentalism, which it sparked a lot of discussion, the Father Antonio Spadaro S.J. He has made the following statement:

.

"The fundamentalist teopolitico scheme wants to establish the reign of a god here and now. And of course, the divinity is the ideal projection of established power. This vision creates the ideology of conquest. In contrast the true Christian teopolitico scheme is rather eschatological, that looks to the future and intends to direct this story towards the Kingdom of God, Kingdom of justice and peace. This vision creates the integration process, which unfolds with a diplomacy that does not anyone like crowns “Man of Providence”» [cf. full text WHO].

.

We observe that the scheme teopolitico Christian actually has an eschatological orientation, in the sense of preparing even now humanity of the risen, who will rule with Christ in heaven to his glorious and victorious Advent at the end of the world and the Last Judgment, with the defeat of the forces of evil and the final liberation of the righteous from the oppression of the wicked. This eschatological outcome is prepared by the joint action of the Church - the spiritual shepherds of action and political action of the laity - and men of good will, under the impulse of the Holy Spirit in the course of history.

.

The encyclical Peace on Earth the Holy Father John XXIII [full text WHO]

A distinction is made, in this promotion of humanity and society eschatological, the task of the ecclesial hierarchy from that of the laity, believers and non-believers, ie State. The task of the Church, the promotion of justice and peace - Pacem in Terris - it is to teach the whole of humanity, in the name of the Gospel and on the basis of practical reason, common to all men, what is the purpose of the state - the promotion of the common good time - and the natural moral laws established by God, that must be the basis of the legislation, whereby, if a civil law is contrary to the natural law, It is null and void and would observe criminal, at least the part of believers.

.

Care must be taken the eschatological perspective of the Kingdom of God is not generally a simple "justice policy perspective and peace", as it would seem to believe Father Antonio Spadaro, in assimilating what his positions and those of Liberation Theology, but it is a much higher meta, the object of divine Revelation and the Magisterium of the Church.

.

… «In the name of the Father …»

I fear, that what he says falls under the censorship of 'Education on liberation theology published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1984 [cf. text WHO], where it observes that the theology of liberation "arises in perspective of a temporal messianism, which it is one of the most radical secularization of the Kingdom of God and of its absorption expressions in the immanence of human history " [cf. n.6].

.

In fact, when we talk about eschatology and Kingdom of God, not enough simply, how does Spadaro, a vague reference to the prospect of "justice" and "peace" - this is already the aspiration of all human Politologie -, but it is necessary to specify and add the originality and novelty of the purposes specifically Christian, with their evangelical content, supernatural and revealed, deduced from Scripture and Tradition.

.

I agree however with the Father Antonio Spadaro to call "fundamentalist scheme ', you could say even totalitarian, the will "to establish the reign of a god here and now. And of course, the divinity is the ideal projection of established power. This vision creates the winning ideology ".

.

It is not difficult will recognizee what state political projects the Father Antonio Spadaro can refer. To stop only the theories appeared in the nineteenth century, we can certainly think of Hegel's political philosophy, for which the State is the immanence of God on earth, so the ruling political class is undoubtedly the divine guidance of the company. That being the case, the state does not recognize any natural moral law, or any law that precedes and funds, but the state is considered the ultimate foundation of law and morality, the so-called "ethical State".

.

11 February 1929, the head of Benito Mussolini government and the Secretary of State of His Holiness Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, sign the Lateran Pacts

So you understand the motto of Benito Mussolini, typically Hegelian: "Nothing outside the State, nothing above the State, nothing against the State '. It is true that the Duce was called, as is known, by Pio XI, "Man of Providence". In his written, indeed, Father Antonio Spadaro alludes, without naming, this Pontiff, namely to his famous sentence commentary addressed to Mussolini. However, you must remember that andsisteva then the danger of a spread in Europe of atheistic principles of the October Revolution, phenomenon that would be accentuated after the Second World War. Moreover, Mussolini had the merit to sign with the Church of the Lateran Treaty and the Concordat with Italy. With everything, it is clear that in these matters the judgment of the Pope is not infallible. The rest, we can only hope that our government represents us divine providence.

.

In the words of Pius XI, the author of the article joked inappropriately and too easy on the expression of a Pontiff, he could not foresee the tragedy in which Italy would fall twenty years later with the alliance with Hitler. On the other hand the fascists, gained power, They would not have missed, with their neo-pagan mentality and their arrogance, to exercise the Holy See and the Church a pressure that would have limited freedom, similar to what the modernists are doing today.

.

Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, arts Iosif Stalin [1879-1953]. It should not be forgotten that the other side of iron Curtain, after the Revolution of October 1917, there was this great "man of providence" …

We know the damage that, especially starting from 1938 on, made the’ "Providential man", but Father Antonio Spadaro should also know that the other side, the other "man of providence", It was not a St. Louis IX of France or St. Wenceslas, but Stalin, persecutor of the Church and slaughterer of those who would not be communists. So, in those years, It is that the choices were many: or Mussolini or Stalin. He chose the least worst.

.

As for Hegel, inspirational Nietzsche and Hitler, the state is the absolute Person and the Führer is the realization of this person. The city does not own the subsistence, but its substance and existence in the State person materialized in the Führer. The State is not due to the decision of individual citizens; but they are citizens to be based in the State, as divine substance. Under these conditions the will of the citizen coincides with the free and sovereign will of the Führer, while this is the will of the citizens of the substance, and thus the will of the citizen is free from the divine freedom of the Führer [1].

.

Vladimir Il'ič Ul'janov, aka Lenin [1870-1924], another great "man of providence" that more than iron Curtain sowed peace and good, an authentic Franciscan Russian Orthodox version …

Another social doctrine They can enter the "fundamentalist pattern," Father Antonio Spadaro, It is certainly the Marxist theory of social revolution, for which alienated man to be robbed of their work product, retakes possession of its essence through violence expropriating the master class, and privately held possession of production tools. In this view, the state is not, come in Hegel, the divine substance of civil society, but it is conceived as a transitional instrument of power, currently in the hands of the bosses, but it intended to come, by Revolution, in the hands of workers, to establish the "dictatorship of the proletariat", whose function is to eliminate oppression of the ruling class and establish a communist society without classes, in which, as he explained Lenin, It would take place the extinction of the State, no longer necessary in its repressive function, because in communist society, made righteous, equal and free, you no longer need the use of force.

.

In Marx not the state but the man, the genus, ie the man not as an individual, but as a social, as mankind, and me: "Man is God to man". In capitalist bourgeois society, the division of labor and division into classes, the man himself is split and placed against himself, because man oppresses man; Man is alienated of his divine essence.

.

the dangerous game of class struggle …

The Marxist method then teaches man alienated in the work - the worker -, conscious of its revolutionary power, to free himself and by that very fact the masters, also alienated into private property; hence the liberation of the whole humanity and religious alienation to alienation work time. The whole, is intende, horizon of history, not being conceivable, Marx, an eschatological perspective of eternity ultramundane, since it denied the transcendence of spirit over matter and the existence of God.

.

Liberation Theology, to which Father Antonio Spadaro seems to approach, but admits eschatology, but - as stated in the document of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith [cf. text WHO] - it does not give guarantees of transcendence over the horizon of history and therefore of politics: the world, eat says Gutierrez, It is this world and there is another world beyond the AL, besides this. God certainly is not denied, ma, in these conditions, It seems rather a worldly God, a God of history, more that the true God metahistorical, eternal and transcendent Christian, although Father Antonio Spadaro would just refuse a social and immanent God.

.

the visible products of Liberation Theology: Ernesto Guevara El Che said forward, Christ behind [by Sergio Michilini, Che Guevara with the Yellow Christ, 1996, oil on canvas, cm.60×70]

Liberation theology is also attracted by the revolutionary perspective, known as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who, to about, He warns against the risk of violence. However, about the problem of the revolution, falls here to remember that the Blessed Paul VI in Development of Peoples the 26 March 1967 admitted, in particularly serious circumstances, the lawfulness of the revolution [cf. n.31], just like always, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, He admits the use of force and the use of "just war" in specific situations of aggression [CCC n. 2263, NN. 2307-2317], course for the defense of the common good and of peace.

Father Antonio Spadaro at this point it moves away not only by liberation theology, but it seems to fall into the opposite of a certain attitude submissive and peace activist, that the approaching Utopianism liberal-Masonic Rousseau and enlightened matrix, that ignores the fact that original sin has left humanity in fact a tendency to injustice and violence, which can not be neutralized if not with a moderate use of force, in defense of the weak and the oppressed. This is also the current Code of Canon Law reminds us that "Innate and proper right to be delinquent in penal sanctions to coerce » ["The Church has an innate and proper right to coerce criminal penalties the faithful who have committed crimes"] [can. 1311].

.

l'opera at Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, signed with the pseudonym Lewis Carroll

Father Antonio Spadaro seems to solve the action of the Church in the world for justice and peace in a simple quiet work of "integration" and "diplomacy", forgetting that, as the Book of Revelation teaches, to the Church, pastors and lay, each in its place, They extend even to the Test, the struggle and suffering, Why, If ever the Church meet the ASSECONDERANNO forces and will be ready to cooperate, always will encounter enemies irreducible. Father Antonio Spadaro seems to imagine a world on the type of Alice in Wonderland, It composed only of men of good will and well-wishers, do not expect anything but to hear the Word of God and be guided by the Church to the Kingdom of God. It is the world that imagines Rahner, where men are defined by the "transcendental orientation to God", and from the possession of grace.

.

Unfortunately, things are not exactly so. We are no longer the earthly paradise. In the world operate sin, death and Satan. "The whole world is under the power of the evil one" [The Gv 5,19], that of Christ and of God just do not want it. What can be done then, The "integration" and "diplomacy" by themselves? At best, take us around by cunning and by profiteers. I fear that even Father Antonio Spadaro, similarly to his Superior General Father Arturo Sosa, It is not too convinced of the action of the devil in the world. These utopians who live outside of reality seem to conceive the preaching of the Gospel as advertising a new car to do better in the mountains or in the Black Sea.

the letters of St. Caterina da Siena to the Pope at the Avignon Court

The Kingdom of God is gained through a "violence" [Mt 11,12], that has nothing hatred, if not with hatred for sin, but is dictated by means courage and strength and liberating; but you can not down here establish justice and peace without the use of force and victory over the enemies of justice and peace [GV 18,36]. Being meek does not mean being cowardly. In God and righteous man's mercy does not exclude the severity. Essays were the Romans, when they said: «If you want peace, prepare for war » ["If you want peace, prepare for war ']. As said Virgilio: «spare and to subdue» ["Save submissive and bring down the proud ']. Because Christ said that he came to bring a sword? [Mt 10,34], if not because he is the Prince of Peace? And who said "he has put down the mighty from their thrones" [LC 1,52]?

.

This is the Gospel.

.

A Church cowardly and springs, with twisted neck, servant of the powerful, fleeing from the clash with the world, It can not be light of the world, salt of the earth and liberating and pacifying force. A Church opportunist who likes the world, He can not please Christ, who won the world. Christ certainly overcomes the world with the cross, but the enemy of the cross can only be won by force.

THE ISLAND OF PATMOS IN PARTY : WE ARE POOR BUT «TEN MILLION HAVE ARRIVED … »

The editors of The Island of Patmos met in Villa Imelda in San Lazzaro (Bologna). Left Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, to the center Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, Right Jorge Facio Lince

L’Patmos Island It was born on 20 October 2014 under the auspices of Blessed Apostolo Giovanni that on this island - known for this as site of the last revelation —, wrote the Book of Revelation. At that time we had a counter exterior, then reset to a technical problem. So the creator and curator of the site, Manuela Luzzardi, installò a engine Internal by starting the daily count of visits from the date of 15 February 2015.

Progressively The Island of Patmos it is equipped with the best professional services, the first of which was the Server business to allow unrestricted access of visitors. Indeed, the number of the growing increase in visits since the early 2015, often it involved the website blocking, When connected persons were numerous and when sforavamo than the number of visits allowed by that service, reached a number, blocking the view to the beginning of the month.

.

This the reason for which, several times, we turned to the readers pointing out that nothing is for free on the internet but everything is paid when you work in a certain way by taking advantage of certain services.

.

The maintenance of the site de The Island of Patmos It has gradually become more and more expensive due to the acquisition of a range of professional services that renew every year for a total amount in 2016 It amounted to 5.200 Euro, not counting other kinds of charges always related to our journalistic and editorial activities.

.

Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p, Matilde Nicoletti and Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo

A European statistical level The Island of Patmos It is among the first 10 most visited Catholic sites. Numerous sites and magazines, including specialist, that over and over again and have embraced the theological and ecclesiastical issues often thorny treated by the Fathers de The Island of Patmos, without having neither the decency nor the nobility to make the necessary calls, or by passing the whole as flour sack them. However, if on one hand it is the date of our publication, often very certain antecedent cheerful appropriations, the other is just as obvious incorrectness of these subjects on which we have always done an amused smile. You want a single example, only one among many? Well, go read this article that dates back to 16 December 2016, written not by a secular praticone that when the evening back to her home or when to stop damage via internet, closes the door or the computer and no one can scratch it in any way; Today reread this article written by a priest subject in all respects to the full jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Authority, with all that it could result in prices to be paid sometimes for life. Without this, then verified as the harsh and stringent analysis imprinted in one written, Today are the subject of widespread discussion and especially to a growing discontent that pervades both the People of God is the civil society of unbelievers, for example about the supreme worship real or alleged refugees and migrants inaugurated with this pontificate. And we limit ourselves, as we said, only in this example, among the many, while today, journalists and analysts, they shout “eureka !” to have finally discovered the hot water, using our arguments happily without us - which incidentally we have not really needed, as evidenced by our readers numbers -, any necessary reminder, especially when they cite as their all how many of our sentences and expressions, foolishly unaware that Father Giovanni Cavalcoli one hand, Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo on the other hand, They have among other things one figuratively and unmistakable style lexical, besides not being properly two strangers [Article invoked in these lines is readable WHO].

.

Yet until today we could not find one sponsor who supported our expenses in exchange for advertising space that would be displayed daily by tens of thousands of visitors. When you are presented some possibilities we have to reject them, because we were getting those problems better known as “gags”. Indeed, before some of our writings and critical analysis as flawless as incontestable, the friends of friends They would react relying on sponsor, linked directly or indirectly to certain groups, people or so-called roped. And of this we have had immediate wise when an entrepreneur, well disposed towards us, he began by saying: "But I am bound to the group of […], so it would be necessary that you mitigaste tones and critical of certain things " …

.

Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p. and Sr. Matilde Nicoletti

… and when the Father Ariel, donning the candor of St. Agnes with white sheepskin in hand, complete with wide open eyes and eyelashes beat, Enlightenment asked on what he meant by "mitigating tones and criticism ', It was clearly told that we should not have any direct criticism of Lefebvre and all the groups that were circulating around them, including blogs and magazines grappled for years in the spread of heresies of Bishop Marcel Lefebvre and his current supporters. Said in other words: it sponsor tried to buy our silence for the benefit of those Catholics increasingly incattiviti and depressed that behind the world of so-called improperly and said “traditionalism”, they built their lucrative market of public visibility, of books, of publications, conferences and so to follow, foraggiati of money both by wealthy Italian entrepreneurs and especially by members of the American ultra right, because with the sale of books is both in print magazines, They are not even able to recover only the expenses of printing. If in fact the strings of the modernists are served hand and foot with all the money they need, so I am the so-called and said improperly “traditionalists” belonging to the currents and related Lefebvrist. We instead we are not on the payroll or the one nor the other, we have to do solely and exclusively rely on the support of readers, that have supported us up to now, despite our many difficulties, past and present, not hesitating to admit I always walk a tightrope and periodic fear of not being able to do it for lack of funds.

.

Twice we run the risk of closing, it not been for a single benefactor who live on the banks of a beautiful lake and has pulled us out of the waters as we were running the risk of drowning us in a different kind of lake, eared.

Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p. e Ariel S. Levi Gualdo in Varazze Dominican Convent while shooting video lessons recorded for de Readers The Island of Patmos

The satisfactions collected for our apostolic work are not counted, and every day I thank God, among the many we mention one: several priests, especially Italian and Polish, every month they send small sums of money to support us, in the order of a few tens of euro each. More than a decisive help, it is a great moral satisfaction. Or to put it, at times dry and hard the Father Ariel:

.

"The priests, since the first months of most holy seminar, learn to ask, but not to give. E, when they give, if so they give what after all does not cost them anything, from many useless advice and often even required rigor. But, immediately, develop the ability to ask, ask, ask … In short, pull a penny out of the pockets of a priest is firm almost always destined to total failure ".

.

Vor understand well what is important for us also to be supported by many priests. And the priests, every month, There also should send only 10 Euros in support of offer The Island of Patmos, more than a success for us is something as unexpected as it is extraordinary, especially if you placed the Father's premises Ariel, it will often be hard and severe, but not devoid of deep contact with what is the world of real ecclesial and ecclesiastical.

Varazze, May 2017, the filming of the video lessons of Giovanni Cavalcoli, o.p.

From the 15 February 2015 to date 16 July 2017, in two years and five months The Island of Patmos He scored ten million visits.

.

For a month now we decided to put at the bottom of each of our product an invitation to the many readers to remember us, because the invitation "You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free" [GV 8,32], It must be followed by the realization that the truth, to be announced and broadcast, It needs means, also and above all economic. The same Word of God, Christ the Lord, to carry out his preaching, He needed to be supported; and in that sense it was supported by wealthy Gentile converts, from wealthy Jews who believed in his announcement, by wealthy widows who supported Him and His Apostles.

.

… what they can do “irrational” a Dominican friar and priest, a member of the secular clergy priest after celebrating Mass on Sunday? Going to take a … cappuccino, and of course to stop and talk about the latest theological fantasy shoot of Father Raniero Cantalamessa … [see WHO]

This is the real world: the truth coast, in all directions, and every man of faith who believe in it and believes that some people are good and faithful preachers, is called to uphold the truth is one who announces and spreads, so very special in today's ecclesial and ecclesiastical world in which, more than the good theology now been lost for decades, They are losing the basic fundamentals of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, while the People of God are increasingly disoriented, and the few good priests and there are often extremely difficult to find at least one confrere who can support them humanely, morally and spiritually, a good spiritual director and a good confessor.

.

To sustain The Island of Patmos it means much more than supporting some congregation of lay people who are improvised from evening to morning historians of the Church, canonists, dogmatic and ecclesiologists theologians; It means supporting first two priests who for years have confessors, spiritual directors and counselors of many priests increasingly lost and in trouble. Other than the work often devastating, almost always politician and above all dividing and destructive, He brought forward by many praticoni lay, none of which, at least at the present time, He can raise high his hand and say to a priest in a state of profound moral crisis: "I absolve you from your sins …», nor any of them, Two political-ideological formulas, It can be close and spiritually support a priest in a crisis of faith.

.

That's what the concrete reality The Island of Patmos, the first economic support which should come right from the Italian Episcopal Conference, if it was not General Secretary S.It is. Mons. Nunzio Galantine, which increases the disorientation of the clergy by passing on the newspaper of the Italian bishops, Future, Articles that are increasingly an affront and an insult to the deposit of faith and Catholic doctrine. And to mention in this regard only one among many, or rather between too much now on the agenda, just read a recent article by Father Giovanni Cavalcoli, where is explained with all the wonder of the case - given that the Church's doctrine on the Holy Eucharist is not to have been changed -, the authentic anthology of heresies written on Future by a religious priest for the commemoration of the feast of The body of the Lord [see WHO].

The new Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and what the Church expects the problem of Karl Rahner

THE NEW GOVERNOR OF THE CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH AND WHAT THE CHURCH IS WAITING ON PROBLEM KARL RAHNER

.

The Church not only acts as a "field hospital". This may suitably operate in minor cases, common or emergency, as ER, or for the treatment of minor injuries or illnesses read; the care of these cases may be referred to the bishops, religious institutes and parishes. But for the heresies most dangerous and widespread clinical need of highly specialized spirit […]

It carefully [II Tm 4,5]

The bishop is able to exhort with sound doctrine

and to refute those who contradict [Tt 1,15]

.

.

il Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller [Finthen 31.12.1947], 69 year old, former Bishop of Regensburg, wanted by Pope Benedict XVI to head the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at which begins its mandate on 2 July 2012. Concluded its first five years, the 2 July 2017, the Supreme Pontiff Francis not confirmed in his role.

As it is now known to all, the Supreme Pontiff chose S.It is. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer as the new Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He is a connoisseur of Karl Rahner thought, as indeed, and even more of him, it was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, that Pope had chosen this Jesuit as Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Now Ratzinger, after being collaborator Rahner at the Council, In the 1982 He published a book on the principles of Catholic theology [1], which he carries a severe criticism at the thought of Rahner accusing him of pantheistic idealism [pag. 179-190, in and. French]. Because of this, we must assume that the new Prefect, as kind to Rahner, especially now that Pope Francis, with great confidence, He entrusted him with the delicate task of supreme collaborator and help the Pope in the conservation and sound doctrine custody, It will be held well away from the serious mistakes of the German Jesuit, accepting which would assume a pipeline that would lead to destruction.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. [Manacor 19 April 1944], 73 year old, He appointed by the Supreme Pontiff Archbishop Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on 9 July 2008, on July 1st 2017 He is appointed by the Supreme Pontiff Francis Prefect of the Congregation

For this we must expect that the new Prefect show us wisely and prudently the way out of the dark forest, "Rough and hard", in which Rahner we kicked in the last fifty years, almost without noticing, given the fascination that he exercises on many, who mistakenly consider the great interpreter of Vatican II [2]. It Will Be, This new Prefect, a thin sieve and discernment, because it will liberate undoubted values ​​from dangerous pitfalls that put them in danger.

.

We want to train the vote now that S.It is. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer was Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in collaboration with the Holy Father, the Holy Spirit grant him prudence, the courage and wisdom needed to show clearly and definitely to the people of God where the error, why and remedy it and refute it, such benefits drawn from them, how to get rid of it and where is his share of truth, to begin serious reform of theological studies and the training of clergy, in fidelity to St. Thomas Aquinas, as required by Council, and the Magisterium of the Church.

.

An idea of ​​how the new Prefect Currency Rahner's thought we can do it by reading his essay Karl Rahner: Christ in the religions of the world, [cf. WHO] presented at a theological conference under the title The theological legacy of Karl Rahner, organized by the Lateran and published by the Lateran University Press in 2005 [cf. WHO].

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

In this paper the new Prefect highlights positive aspects of Rahner's thought, as the recognition of the supremacy of Christianity over other religions, which he called "absolute religion", and the fact that all religions come at least implicitly or subconsciously in relationship with Christ, without which there is no salvation, Christ offers salvation to all.

 

.

The errors Rahner

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer, however, also it contains some erroneous thesis Rahner, that did so much damage done and are doing to the Church, but neglects to refute. Let's take some examples. He quotes without discussing the Rahner's thesis that "in the Old Covenant property is along with what is pleasing to God, what is false and erroneous " [p. 247] e, commenting on these words, even says that "only in the New Testament and in the Church of Christ have a permanent rule of distinction between what is true and what is false" [p. 248].

.

Apart from that already natural reason He can distinguish theological and moral truth from falsehood, a similar survey done in the Old Testament theology and ethics seems decidedly unfair and offensive, and knows a lot of heresy Marcionite, that opposes the true God of the New Testament from the false God of the Old Testament.

.

No one denies that in Ancient Will we have an image of God sometimes frightening and certain penalties and cruel war laws. But it is not difficult to explain these things as signs of a backward civilization, no need to address unfair accusations an Alliance of Israel with God, which is not exceeded by the New as the false from the true it is denied, but as the initial truth is superseded by the final truth, as the light of dawn is overcome by daylight. Christ did not come to abolish, but to complete [cf. Mt 5, 17,19].

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Another thesis Rahner, welcomes that the new Prefect without objections, It is its interpretation of the way in which non-Christian religions can encounter Christ. This mode is an application of the theory of knowledge Rahner, why the man, every man, aprioricamente experiences and divine, God in interior experience he called "transcendental", "Athematic" and "preconceptual", which is followed by the conceptualization or 'categorization' of this experience.

.

According to this theological presupposition Rahner distinguishes an explicit and conscious Christianity Christianity as an implicit and unconscious or preconscious, he calls "anonymous". Christ is revealed to all men, He gives all his grace and saves all men. Only this revelation takes place on two different cognitive levels. For all takes place on the transcendental plane; for some, sul piano categorical. And these are the explicit Christian. Those, however, which only takes place on the transcendental plane, are anonymous Christians [3].

.

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer He quotes the same Rahner: "This transcendental moment of revelation corresponds to the free modification of our transcendental consciousness made supernaturally by God, but this change is actually an original moment and permanent of our consciousness, a kind of original lighting of our existence and, since the time of our transcendence of God consists dall'autocomunicazione, It is already in the proper sense of revelation " [p. 254].

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

We observe that Revelation does not change, but it exceeds and elevates the transcendental consciousness, otherwise it would not be supernatural. Even if it grants that Revelation was a "change of consciousness", it is not an "original enlightenment", but illumination from God, which adds to the natural light after intellect, which one it is the original light of our mind, preceded by the experience sensitive, and so the Revelation, that gives rise to faith, It comes only after the exercise of reason and experience, and as lighting of reason, that rises to the knowledge of the supernatural mystery unknown to reason.

.

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer rahneriano explains the thinking on this point thus: the explicit Christian faith is the "conceptual statement of what the man ', who has not heard the Gospel message, "He has already made or could make in the depth of his spiritual existence" [p. 249]. This would be the transcendental revelation.

.

For Rahner then the universal revelation It is what he calls "transcendental", and the revelation given by Christ to the Church, what he calls "categorical" and that the Church calls "public", He also calls this "particular", almost like what the Church calls "private revelation". Instead we have to say that the true universal revelation, ie public, It is not the revelation of "transcendental", that does not exist except in the mind Rahner, because God, in revealing and speak to the man, It proposes intelligible content of truth to his intellect, content that, by virtue of the nature of the same human intellect, they are expressed in concepts and judgments and then into words. The adult gets those concepts from sense experience; those who are not able to reason, as for example the demented or the embryo, He receives those concepts of God and so all, perhaps unconsciously, They may be a concept of who Christ.

.

Rahner accepts the principle of John that the Logos enlightens everyone, consciously or unconsciously. Which means that the Logos It aims at all, but not all accept Him. Instead Rahner overlooks the fact, noticed by Giovanni, that not all welcome the light, but some prefer the darkness [4]. Rahner thus argues that in fact the divine illumination is universal, everyone welcome, so everyone is saved, which is false, because it goes against the Gospel and the teaching of the Church.

.

It must be said Rahner also that the doctrine of "absolute Savior", S.It is reported by. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer, It is an invention of Rahner, that mixes ibridamente reason with faith, philosophy with the Gospel, self-consciousness with Revelation, nature with grace, natural religion with the supernatural, Christianity with other religions.

.

The existence of an absolute Savior, God-man, we know it only by faith, because this divine Savior is Christ, and not based upon the inexistent "transcendental experience or revelation athematic" Rahner. It is only from the Gospel that we know that God wants to save us by a God-man. It is precisely what the unprecedented originality of the Gospel message. Every religion knows that God exists, that can save us, and that rewards those who love him. Instead, what none of them knows, but that only Christ tells us in the Gospel, is that He and He alone is the Savior of all.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

God indeed, If she wanted to, He could have saved in other ways and by other means: forgiven unconditionally and to our request for forgiveness, or after an appropriate penance or by sacrifices or a revelation made inwardly to each, or with the mediation of simple saints or prophets o angeli.

.

The real easy to know transcendental religious, which it is only at the level of pure reason, It is absolutely not able to know for themselves what path God chose to save us. Therefore this knowledge can not imagine, and is not expecting any "absolute Salvatore", How do you think Rahner, but just know that our salvation comes from God, whatever the concrete path which he has chosen, thereto unknown. This is only the certainty of all other religions, certainty that, however - and here Rahner is right - however the contact with Christ.

.

The Gospel message that speaks of Christ provides us at all, How do you think Rahner, the simple detail, the simple categorization and historical determination, concrete and "special" of a suppository precognition [Anticipation] "Transcendental and original," the "absolute Savior", what Rahner calls "transcendental Christology", that would be common to all religions, and that Christianity is the "anonymous".

.

We observe that the announcement of the Gospel no explicit what is already in pre-contained atematicamente ' "transcendental experience" of all religions, or what other religions darkly, vaguely and implicitly already know, but the announcement of a new unheard, unpredictable and unimaginable, that the world and all the non-Christian religions, including that Jewish, they absolutely ignore. This gospel message is not enlightenment or awareness of a previous human knowledge, but l 'addition a new theological knowledge at all superior to reason, and that can only be a gift from God. It's right here the novelty of the New Testament compared to Ancient.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer It seems not to feel the danger that lurks under Rahner's notion of "divine self" [5], that Rahner is not conceptual, as it taught by God's word [n. 6], but "ontological and entitative" [p. 254]. The other part, one must say that, If God can not communicate his divine being to the creature, It gives but a valuable divine ontological quality, which it is the likeness of Christ's divine nature, that is, the divine sonship; but this is the grace, while the Council, speaking of self-communication, It refers to Revelation.

.

It should be noted that the Divine Being, in its absolute simplicity, transcendence and subsistence, It is absolutely imparticipable and therefore incommunicable. San Pietro is, for its part, says man, by grazia, becomes "cooperative" [koinonòs] the divine nature cf. [Pt II 1,4], this means that he receives a supernatural gift from God, precisely the grace, that, in Christ, It makes it similar to God.

.

The divine being, It is absolutely simple, It can not be received in part from the creature and much less can be received wholly in an absurd "ontological self-communication", which, if anything, It takes place within the Holy Trinity, for which, eg God the Father tells the Son his own divinity [God from]. But the Father can not communicate Himself as Father to Son, because the Father is the Son Distinguished.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

The being of grace is a being by participation, It is a created being. Only the divine being is essentially Being [The very being of God by itself, subsisting]. However the essence of grace is divine. Grace, however, is not God, but it is a divine gift created, an accident or quality of the soul: for this grace can be destroyed by mortal sin. If grace is God, it would be like God incorruptible. And this is consistent Rahner, when he says that grace can never be lost ["Permanent existential"]. But if grace is God, avremmo il pantheism, and the man would be God.

.

S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer cites not even argue the doctrine Rahner, according to which the hypostatic union would be nothing but the supreme summit of Revelation, Rahner who identifies with grace: "The history of revelation has its absolute summit, when God's self to reality spiritual creature of Jesus through the hypostatic union that takes place in the incarnation of God reached in view of this reality, and with it the benefit of all its unsurpassed summit " [p. 254].

.

We have to say two things: first, that the hypostatic union is not a gnoseologic act alleging Revelation, but an ontological act relating to the divinity of Christ. So here is not about the divine self-revealing, of which the Council speaks, but the hypostatic union is the effect of the assumption of the human nature of Christ by the person of the Word.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Hence the second thing. The hypostatic union is not the vertex of one upward previous development, but it is the effect of a free act of God, It presupposes that nothing before itself, if not the eternal Word What it produced. Divine revelation certainly has a historical development narrated by Scripture, but it has nothing to do with the hypostatic union, which, as I said, It belongs to the ontological, not to the intentional or conceptual. Ma, as is known, Rahner identifies idealistically being with knowing.

.

So also the hypostatic union It has nothing to do with the summit of a supposed "human transcendence», in the sense rahneriano, it also vitiated pantheistic idealism. Man transcends yes same to tend to God; but God is not the '' horizon of human transcendence ", come dice Rahner, but it is one who transcends the horizon of man. The man rises to God, but it does not become God. God took the man, but it does not become man.

.

Some observations

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Before. S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer, in presenting the thought of Rahner, It seems to stop at a mere exposure, well done the rest. Which is not prohibited. Ma, touching certain errors, one may ask why does not refute them. The physician should not be limited to a correct description of the disease, but must provide specific effective cure, after first diagnosed with the disease.

.

Second. The interpretation made by S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer rahneriano of thinking is too benevolent. He just puts some question marks. This method certainly has a value, but it gives evidence of ingenuity, does not show the pitfalls, makes you feel a lack of insight and critical supervision.

.

The experienced mountain guide It must show the dangers of the inexperienced tourist path, who faces a risky path. If everyone enough for themselves the care for your health, that it would need the doctors? If any good layman could do for itself to save his soul, that we would need the theologian, the bishop and the Pope? He would reason Luther, which he abolished the Catholic Hierarchy.

.

Third. The excessive benevolence of judgments S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer against Rahner raises fears that he has not understood and thoroughly enough the roots of thought rahneriano, now analyzed by time, such as the Father Cornelio Fabro, and therefore does not realize sufficiently serious mistakes metaphysical, gnoseologici, anthropological and moral Rahner.

.

An essential feature of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith he is to warn the faithful, in help and on behalf of the Pope, the most dangerous errors not easily diagnosable, by placing them in light and correcting. And it is precisely here that the problem lies Rahner. At the direction of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, S. AND. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer will have plenty of time to fill these gaps, which, they were tolerated in his past, they will not be more now.

.

The reform of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

In conclusion, we say that the task ahead S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer is complex, risky and difficult, but we are confident that God will give light and strength in helping the Holy Father and to serve the Church.

.

We must confess with all confidence, knowledge of the facts, after fifty years of studies on this topic, that the reform of study and formation of the clergy promoted by the Council has been misunderstood and poorly implemented, so that today we do not reform, but a distortion of the true intentions of the Council, which he had recommended St. Thomas as a guide of studies, although certainly not according to the pre-reconcile a thomism too controversial form towards modernity, but a critically Thomism and evangelically open to the values ​​of modernity, according to the example of Jacques Maritain, recommended by St. Giovanni Paolo II in the encyclical Faith and Reason.

.

Wanting to replace Karl Rahner to St. Thomas Aquinas It was a serious mistake, the consequences of which we see today in the doctrinal and moral chaos - what is already in 1974 Fabro called "upheaval"[6], of which we are suffering, which is said and I repeat, all without having to disregard the merits Rahner, which S.It is. Mons. Ladaria Ferrer mentions in his essay.

.

S. AND. Mons. Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. from 1 July 2017 Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

For this huge task It will require a strengthening of the staff of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to make more specialized and more competent in relation to the various theological disciplines to be used in the interventions to be undertaken and proportionate to the extent of the issues to be resolved, ridding it of tasks beyond his competence, such as the prosecution of the crime of pedophilia, that this task, In the case, It may suitably be committed to the Congregation for the Clergy or civil judiciary.

.

The Church does not work only as a "field hospital". This may suitably operate in minor cases, common or emergency, as ER, or for the treatment of minor injuries or illnesses read; the care of these cases may be referred to the bishops, religious institutes and parishes. But for the heresies most dangerous and widespread clinical need of highly specialized spirit, on the model, to make a comparison in the medical field, the specialized institutions of the complex and wide Orsola hospital in Bologna. Here we have the role of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which has to deal with the most serious heresies, the most common and most difficult to diagnose and treatable, combining and alternating between justice and mercy, depending on the need. If it's important body care, far more important is the health of the soul.

the little Charlie Gard – to open the video click on the image

The Friedrich Nietzsche sentence reported in the title is taken from his work The Gay Science, to read it entirely in the Italian translation, just open WHO

.

That said I note - as I wrote in my book 2011 which will shortly be reprinted -, that the late nineteenth century, the sharp mind of Nietzsche had already realized that the decisive attack to Christianity could not be based on truth but on that of Christian morality.

.

Often I love to talk about the "unnatural death", to which it tends to give other names and to indicate it in any other way: "... failed ... disappeared ... it was off ... no more ..." and various other euphemisms, but not to use that word natural that in its own way cries for its intimate "unnaturalness": death. All this in a society where fewer people, before death, have the courage to say : "Is dead".

.

Death is in his unnaturally because it is not within the projects of nature created by God; is the work of the devil that caused Adam and Eve to rebel against the Creator [cf. Gen 1,3]. It is in fact through the original sin that death entered the world as a result of that rebellion that breaks the balance of the divine harmony created. He explains the Blessed Apostolo Paolo in his epistle:

.

[…] as through one man sin entered the world and by sin death, and so death passed upon all men, because all sinned […] How, then, for the fault of a single one it was upon all men to condemnation, so also through the work of justice of one it pours upon all men to justification of life. Similarly, as for the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous [RM 5, 12-18].

.

Often I have wondered whether the refusal of death and suffering, It does not depend in part on the fact that in our most ancient human memory remains alive deep in the memory, although in many unaware, when we were immortal and free from death as a consequence of original sin.

.

A silent on that little Christ on earth Charlie Gard, which is likely to be killed so that Europe atheist can exorcise their fear of death, sacrifice on the cross of modern atheism a Lamb of God, They are not simply been "priests" and "bishops", as many Catholics and non-Catholics have complained in recent days around various blogs, telematic magazines and newspapers in print; to keep quiet about this little lamb on the cross were "certain" priests ... "certain" bishops ...

.

... if you want to explain you what, indicating that under this pontificate in a particular way, these subjects with a bad idea to say the least erroneous life, family and moral, are all thrown into a gallop to the Church leaders.

.

A silent were those bishops and priests that year after year have been deformed into the Blessed seminar, without the inside of the filthy forecourt anyone noticing, the bishop first and follow with the rector and spiritual fathers, that a number of candidates to the priesthood came from completely dysfunctional families. None of these pundits made by the bishops to do damage inside pretify, ever cared that a person born, raised and educated in a non-Christian family, which is affected as such by all the worst moral aberrations of this world and that he lives as if evil was actually good and good were rather shy away from evil, forever and the penalty will become a bad priest. At one of these parties can lay hands on the head a hundred times, rovesciargli on the palms around the pitcher of the sacred chrism consecrated by the bishop during the Chrism Mass, you can send him to the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Biblical Institute, do specialize, dottorare and finally return to the diocese with the great intellectual aura, without, however, succeed, as a priest and as a pseudo-theologian or biblical scholar, to understand that the family is the domestic church, that the first and indispensable teacher of Christian life is the family. And who has not had a Christian home and of Christian parents, before entering a seminary must be enabled to acquire and develop over the course of a long process of years, all those values ​​and the education that only a Christian home and of Christian parents can take and transmit. If not then we find ourselves in front of priests lacking in fundamentals of Christianity that invite to speak in theological studies of atheist philosophers, of supporters of the gender and sociologists who consider abortion an achievement of great social importance and civic. And since they have never overcome the trauma of the divorce of the parents and especially their fine deeds of the father and mother, made of selfishness and betrayal various, many of them are sfogheranno pouring nastiness of whole presbyteries, where will the image of a father and a mother on whom to pour destructive revenge. Not to mention the catastrophic damage that they will do if put in the role of trainers, of teachers, or worse … of bishops!

.

Land sacred ordinations of these subjects, They are often swarming with parents pluridivorziati, of brothers and sisters living with their latest lover or mistress on duty, that after the solemn sacred rite, between a glass of Champagne and a sandwich, tell to the guests that they are not believers, But respect the choices of others. Over the last few years, to such obscene orders, During the refreshments they felt fathers, mothers and sisters who barely knew to make the sign of the cross, begin with Christian expressions of "high culture" of the kind ... "in the Church now things are revolutionizing, thanks to that big that Papa Francesco, that now open to divorced couples, have gay, all'aborto, all'eutanasia ... ". Needless to say, and remember that the Pope Francis I, never open to any of this, but the anti-Christian relatives of the newly-ordained priest, But we really believe. Indeed, if anything, is also convinced that their son, brother or cousin, He has entered the large multinational Roman Catholic Church, just the right time, just when things are "revolutionizing".

.

This beautiful clergy came out in recent years by our holy seminars, to those elements amounts? Try to ask that authentic man of God and holy pastor in charge of souls, this has always been the Cardinale Beniamino Stella, Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, because he numbers for all cases, We just know how to count …

.

Since elements of this kind, how can we expect of words and decided necessarily hard on the poor Christ on the cross Charlie Gard? And once again I repeat: Giovanni Paolo II was proclaimed a saint, but his holy teaching, in so few years away, It is nothing left? Because this seems unfortunately to show in its own way the contemporary clergy, but alas the same Augusto reigning Pontiff, who has competed in recent days in many variants speeches by insults against the mafia and corrupt, for which the study even an appropriate decree of excommunication [cf. WHO], until the trade union and political speeches on "new social pact" [cf. WHO]. Obviously he is looking well from appointing that extraordinary monument that is the Social Doctrine of the Church, from the Of the new things of Pope Leo XIII [cf. WHO] up to Centennial year of the Holy Pontiff John Paul II [cf. WHO].

.

This summer I am as always in Sicily, and in truth I must tell you that the supreme dome mammasantissima until the last picciotti Of Cosa Nostra, including those in the shadow of the bell handle barrel of tens of millions of euro on great carnival the Feast of St. Agatha in Catania and Santa Rosalia in Palermo, all of the criminals live in anguish and dread the idea to be notified of a bull of excommunication by the registrars bishop. I dare not even imagine that in poured concrete would end a gay chancellor sculettante who presented them with a falsetto voice to notify him that the bishop has excommunicated them as mobsters and corrupt, because if there's one thing the mafia never would respect, I am certain priests-donnetta that abound especially in Southern Italy. I priests-donnetta They are indeed as numerous as useful to the mafia, who know all the worst moral vices hidden priests, the better to keep it whole dioceses blackmailed, because before any serious and decided sigh against the Mafia, their leaders would literally explode entire septic tanks; and to recover from the flood of the magma that drowning whole priests, some dioceses should work for decades and decades in an effort to rebuild a glimmer of credibility, finally admitted that they succeed. But if the Holy Father Francis wanted to summon, I can explain to you what are the Italian mafia and especially under what moral and financial blackmail keep the local Churches of Southern Italy; and I explain it to him much better than I could ever explain an anti-mafia entrepreneur to five star luxury like don Luigi Ciotti.

.

But, the Holy Father Francis, after so many thunders against the Mafia and many heartfelt words on "new social pact", dedicated a Tweet which recites:

.

"Defending human life, especially when it is hit by the disease, is a commitment of love that God entrusts to every man '.

.

Not even the deserved dignity of the name, It was given to him at, even though a name has it: Charlie Gard. Worse de The Unnamed of the Betrothed. So I still go back to ask: because it was proclaimed a saint Giovanni Paolo II? because he were titrated many churches around the world, Why? Or maybe that the Saints only be used to produce stable, for these days to stay more and more empty of faith and faithful?

.

While the carpenter He had already prepared the cross for the little Lamb of God Charlie Gard, His Holiness talked about ... 'new social contract' labor and union, while the secular printing extollers chanted live the revolutionary Francisco now excommunicate mobsters and corrupt, finally putting in the knee Camorra, the N'drangheta e Cosa Nostra. Imagine, to defeat the Mafia there is not even able Fascism in two decades with a clever man and gifted as the prefect Cesare Mori, said no coincidence that the Iron Prefect, but surely he will succeed Pope Francis with the power of excommunication, or rather sending a hundred Swiss guards with halberds in aid to the anti-mafia police.

.

Obviously I avoid saying with who, the visible Church, It is likely to do - if not worse to have already made - a terrible pact. And I guarantee that your "social pact", I did not do it with the Unions, but with another terrible person spoken of in the Book of Revelation, what “certi” bishops and “certi” Priests, however, consider only a legendary allegory.

.

On the little Lamb of God Charlie Gard, They have been silent bishops and priests of the latest generation, many of whom have not had a family as domestic Church. They silenced those bishops and priests, for which there is the absoluteness of faith, which means theological absoluteness of Christ beginning, center and goal of our entire humanism, resulting from which other related absoluteness both to human life and to the family; and these absolutes, I'm a theological term never to be confused with the socio-political absolutism, constitute the heart of those non-negotiable values ​​that we Catholics will always remain, although the visible Church should decide to toast taralucci and wine with the Master of this world.

.

A silent on the lamb of God Charlie Gard They were then bishops and priests of the "possible", the "likely", the "must be evaluated case by case", obviously “After much discernment”. And these bishops and priests go hand in hand with the worst abuses of this world in which the enemies of life and the family: the ultra secularists, Masons and omosessualisti with their powerful gaystapo, and always take lead as examples and models of borderline cases, as well as rare, so to justify the unjustifiable, namely the destruction of the family, abortion, l'euthanasia, genetic testing …

.

Never leading ordinary cases, because in their diabolical attempt to pass the very satanic standards, always bring as an example the extreme exception, trying to use it so that it can be imposed the rule. I wonder and I ask you: how do, to bring as an example to legitimize abortion, a Brazilian girl of even ten years, He raped and became pregnant by her grandfather? All over the world, how many cases of this kind we know? And indeed, that case, It was so great that he spoke to the press days of the world. The same world press does not talk army little dog in heat that without any scruple of conscience or trouble, before the age of eighteen years of age have already been submitted for the third time to the clinic for an abortion. And since it was Friday, their concern was to ask the killer manufacturer of angels ... "Saturday night, there are no problems if I go to the disco, vero?». Or: "Doctor, when I can take it up with my boyfriend. He understands, what I mean …?».

.

This is the norm of the majority of abortions, not destroyed women who cry for life, absolutely not the exceptional case of the raped child by his grandfather and became pregnant, before which, anyhow, It is not allowable and justifiable abortion, with all due respect to many bishops and priests, that to avoid irritating the world and its terrible Master, at the time they replied softly that must be evaluated case by case, or that the Archbishop of the Diocese of Recife was an exaggerated and inappropriate to excommunicate the whole team who practiced abortion to the girl [see WHO]. Perhaps, If the Archbishop of Recife had instead excommunicated corrupt that exploit the village, that even with only sticks and stones may try to defend themselves or to also make a revolution, which however can not do a fetus in its mother's womb, Today would have been raised to the dignity of cardinal on the recommendation of Cardinal Cláudio Hummes and with a laudatory eulogy of Enzo Bianchi and Alberto Melloni.

.

fromQuite the little Christ on the Cross Charlie Gard, everyone Instead they have been silent, if anything, preferring to speak against the Mafia and the 'new social contract'; and silence was the new generation of bishops and priests without families, without ethics, without morals and finally faithless. Just like one of the last Italian newly consecrated bishops under this pontificate Augusto. During the party, the brother and sister of the new Excellency, one of those needless to say everything poor, refugees and existential peripheries, both divorced and present at the solemn ceremony with their new respective companions, They have missed out with some pride that statement: "At the end, our brother, it ha fatta!». In practice they said: you do not even imagine what we hoped.

.

And one wonders why, between immigrants, refugees and union speeches on "new social pact", someone is likely to send back Christ on the cross once again hiding behind the silence? In conclusion, It would repeat the betrayal by Giuda Iscariota:

.

Dipped the morsel, She took him and gave it to Giuda Iscariota, son of Simon. So what, after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then he said Jesus unto: "What you do, do quickly". No one at the table knew why he said this; Some thought that, Judas had the bag, Jesus was telling him: "Buy what we need for the feast", or that he should give something to the poor. Having received the sop, he immediately went out. And it was night [GV, 13, 26-30].

.

And it was night, the great night of faith …

The Holy Father Francis "heretic" and "apostate". And if it was a providential “Pied Piper”?

Say the Fathers of The Island of Patmos

THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS 'Heretic' E 'APOSTATE ". AND IF YOU WERE A PROVIDENTIAL PIPER MAGIC ?

.

There is no historical memory of a Pope who like the ruling has been branded as “heretic” e “apostate” by a number of means insignificant Catholics and not linked solely to areas of “fundamentalists”. Therefore we believe that this new phenomenon merits a clear and honest answer at the theological and ecclesiological, given below by Fathers of The Island Patmos them in two different writings on the sensitive issue.

.

.

I understand well your maneuvering limits, say, however, that "the Holy Father is in a" cage "in which it was put by some obscure characters that surround him and from which unfortunately is not easy to get out ...", It is frankly not credible, considered the personality of the Holy Father, which he has now at his side whom he wanted. Others are marginalized. Or am I wrong?

Licio Zuliani

.

The Reverend Fathers of this island who support this theory [Ed. "The Holy Father is in a" cage "in which it was put by some obscure characters that surround him and from which unfortunately is not easy to get out"], They know not to further aggravate the situation. Make it a disservice which hurts the salvation of souls. The private doctor It is demolishing everything. What a scandal visiting the tomb of Don Milan, even he would like to emulate him by inviting priests to do the same. From the 2013 we have such a large amount of objective elements (writings, homilies, speeches, video) to define an apostate […]. Dear Fathers of this Island, have charity to say the whole truth is at stake is the salvation of souls that you will answer before the judgment seat of Christ. No one can be sure that the sun is a grain of salt.

the late Lucio Battisti [Rieti 1943 – Milan 1998], one of the “sacred monsters” the history of Italian pop music, author of the song Confusion. To listen click on the image

The problem of the Holy Father Francis is a problem essentially moral, that is the question of his moral conduct and his pastoral, not of his doctrine of the Vicar of Christ. On this point we have to listen to good Catholics and not do as Lefebvre and Lutherans, who accuse him of heresy. And this, in essence, that the Father Ariel remembers in his snappy response.

.

The problem of the Holy Father, a common view of the Fathers de The Island of Patmos, that this theme devote two different answers, is precisely that of not having a strong personality, but being a person influenced, except to take sometimes authoritarian attitudes, but affect the weak and leave the strong prosper.

.

The Holy Father will find themselves pitted with a very powerful modernist environment, which is what prompted the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI to make an act of renunciation. The Pope is surrounded, circumvented and adulated by false friends and traitors. The Church has the enemy at home, It has now reached the highest places: we think of the case of Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, for which Masons are our "brothers" [cf. WHO, WHO] or of Cardinal Walter Kasper, for which the dogma is mutable, or General Superior of the Society of Jesus Arturo Sosa [cf. WHO], for which we do not know what Christ has taught, since at that time there were no recorders [cf. WHO], or Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, devotee of Pannella or Bianchi, for whom homosexuality is a gift from God.

.

Alberto Melloni is instead convinced now that the priesthood is over and that the Pope is on a par with the Patriarch of Constantinople [cf. WHO]. The modernists have penetrated the Pontifical Faculty, in the Roman Curia and in the same Secretary of State. The devil knocks at the Hospice Santa Marta disguised as a Muslim immigrant. The Pope is forced to choose collaborators among those who in fact is found to have around. He has to put the brave face on.

.

Modernists play wickedly the card of the Pope's strong capacity for human contact and human understanding, and having the great mass media in hand, spread the false image of a funny Pope, populist and revolutionary, "Leader of the international left" against Donald Trump, portrayed as a hater of poor immigrants and a servant of American capitalism, hiding from people his identity as Vicar of Christ and presenting him as a modernist or a new Che Guevara. The story really seems to have demoted to 1968 and today one has the impression of living, inside the church, in the early seventies of the twentieth century.

.

In this very difficult emergency situation, under this onslaught of diabolical forces never happened in the history of the Church, the Pope has to get by, should be careful at every step he takes, It must somehow adapt to their own situation to protect the role of the Roman Pontiff.

.

The modernists have indeed understood and favor the Pope his excessive affection for the people, organizing popular rallies, about which one can ask is true that success, that is, if it comes from a correct interpretation of the role of the Pope or perhaps rather by his very full of humanity. These crowds, what they see in the Pope? The messenger of the gospel or the large crowds exciting performances of conductor? This doubt success, in our opinion, makes the Pope swayed and yielding to the formidable, wealthy and smart modernist pressure.

.

This unfortunate situation It has dragged on since the time of Paul VI and today is even worse. The fact therefore that the Pope does not have the means to defend themselves and to defend the Church by modernists. The Pope must do, as they say, the best of a bad situation. This is why we do not feel absolutely accuse the Pope of favoring the heretics. And if you accusing us of 'not to say all », some would like us were to say that the Pope is a heretic, or even worse, an apostate, Well cavatevelo well as from the head, because what it would be impossible both as priests and as theologians. Besides the fact that to say this - that accuse the "reigning Pope heresy" or "apostasy" -, would "tell all", as calls for our Player, but saying instead the false.

.

No problem to state which in our opinion, the Holy Father is pliable is too condescending, O too good, as they say, motivated by the desire not to cause further suffering to the Church and not let her suffer more scandals. If in fact he openly revealed the plots of modernists, Church would happen in a bigger mess than it was in 1943 in Italy with the fall of Fascism.

.

In such a dramatic eventuality, the Pope could be tried and deposed and the modernists might be elected an anti-pope, John XXIV, Behind illuminated proposal Gianfranco Ravasi and Walter Kasper, offended, and Alberto Melloni and Andrea Grillo. The Lefebvrians, for reaction to this intolerable affront, could in turn elect, at the suggestion of Antonio Socci, Don Alexander Minutella and Excellencies Monsignori Marmet Bernard and Richard Williamson, un altro antiPope, Pio XIII, their party. So they would have three Popes, not counting the fourth, Benedict XVI, always it is still alive. Meanwhile, the deposed Francesco I, benefiting from a special pardon, It could devote himself full time to care for the immigrants on the island of Lampedusa. Of course, all it may sound sci-ecclesiology, but we have not so far.

.

Therefore, the faithfuls, not to be scandalized by the Pope and fail him due respect as Vicar of Christ, They have to do this reading of what is happening: we must fight the modernists and defend the Pope, because if in any way the Pope is attacked, explains Father Ariel in its response following commentary: it undermines the stone that holds the whole construction, with consequences not so hard to imagine ...

an old 45 laps of complex I Chameleons: There is nothing new, a song that today would be fit to play and sing in different cathedrals, instead anthem Here Priest. To listen click on the image

The Fathers de The Island of Patmos they are conscious the ecclesial situation and current ecclesiastical and for that you look from going to break up the rock on which Christ built his Church [cf. Mt 13,16-20], they are men of faith. There is not the worst thing that destroy the house on the basis of “because I think”, “because I feel”

.
The mysteries of faith not based on “I think”, “I feel”... two assumptions which give rise to a "faith" emotional, immature and childish, however devoid of a critical perspective related to the action of the Holy Spirit's grace that eventually turned, one snooty weak and timid as Peter, into a martyr and witness of faith.

.

If the reigning Pope is "apostate", as stated in our Player, at the same player should be remembered that Peter, chosen and willed by Christ Himself, It was much worse than Francis I. Also because Peter, act of apostasy from the faith in the incarnate Word of God made her seriously. Instead, Francis I., He has never publicly denied Christ and before the danger he has not taken flight. But Peter not only denied him publicly, but he did the false swearing and cursing: "Then he began to curse and to swear: "I do not know the man!”» [Mt 26,69-75].

.

We have never denied the defects, the theological deficiencies and ambiguous and confusing ministry of the Holy Father Francis, as do certain fearful ecclesiastical career, improvvisatisi today everyone poor&refugees. We never denied his faults to the same extent that we believe in the Holy Spirit "the Lord and the life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son" [cf. Symbol of faith], sent by Christ to the nascent Church at Pentecost. Therefore we do not exclude that a person limited and ambiguous as the exhibition can be the reigning Pontiff, Also at the end of his life, as happened with Peter, turn into a great confessor and defender of the faith.

.

From this perspective many are sadly lacking, simply because they have no faith in the action of grace, because their faith is played all over Clik the "I like it”, "I do not like”, because they live the Church as a socio-political phenomenon useful as an outlet for arguing in the microcosm of their backyard, where there is only black and white, good and bad, where sentences “that's just the way it is“, but not because they set out the objective data or amounts truths of faith, but because it establishes the “I think”, “I feel”, that ends up being the only true and objective, the new dogma tragic being and existence of many men immersed in the world of’iocentrism and self-referentiality. Lin faith, however, it is another thing: "Faith is the foundation of the things that are hoped for and the proof of those that are not seen" [EB 11, 1-7].

.

We never cease to give thanks to the Holy Father Francis for bringing into the open a so thick and numerous army of Christians whose "faith", de facto, It was based on nothing. Indeed, the first blast have fallen, screaming so excited and emotional "heresy!», "apostasy!», and any other kind of anger towards the Chair of Peter. But most of all we thank him for bringing into the open a subject even more serious, that is to say all those cardinals fringes, bishops and priests, besides an army of heretical theologians in the chair for a few decades, that under the pontificates of Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, They have long worked with “admirable” patience in obscurity, behind the scenes, playing as long as they could to the transformation dictated by obvious career ambitions, all in accordance with the technique so acute as dangerous modernists, that lacks neither the planning nor patience.

.

No worries, on my part, to provide in this regard examples. Imagine if I, as we urge to do the same Supreme Pontiff [see WHO], I'm afraid to "denounce names and surnames". If anything, the problem is that the Holy Father, beyond his words uttered in predicozzi mornings, the complainants with your name if you keep them all around like ivy wrapped around the Chair of Peter, while the few who dared to report the den of snakes around the sacred throne, They are finished as they are finished, to the praise and glory of God. Therefore, the Supreme Pontiff, in addition to being limited it is unfortunately also inconsistent, because it shows that between his preaching to blows slogan Effect to the delight of the secularist press, and his concrete action, there is a mismatch.

.

Exhortation contained in this latest predicozzo morning, I answer thus providing the Holiness of Our Lord Jesus Christ Augustus reigning Pontiff, a high birth name that can apply to many other: Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, Archbishop of Perugia and today President of the Italian Episcopal Conference …

.

Cardinal Bassetti, He was able to move forward with that "peasant cunning" which causes it to tell the host that it wishes to hear, up to believe that this simple settler acts as a very faithful servant in the best interests of the landlord and property. Now we will see how he carried out his climbing, as the Successor of Peter seems to enjoy them as much the 'complaints' accompanied by' first and last names "- as well as facts, naturally -, to which he urges us in his predicozzi mornings.

.

Gualtiero Bassetti, He entered in thanks Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli, Archbishop of Florence, Finally it favored in its promotion Episcopal. He has never been an eagle theological nor a man of deep culture, which it is not in itself and by itself no problem, indeed quite the opposite, In fact, we know well the enormous damage done under Pope Giovanni Paolo II from the last batches of dire bishops professors. It should therefore be pointed out that today, People of God and ourselves ministers of the sacred We venerate the saints who were people of a theological and cultural limitations sometimes bleak, but this did not affect the heroic nature of their virtues, up to be canonized and declared models of holiness for priests themselves, from our patron, that pace of the Supreme Pontiff and Cardinal Bassetti, remains the Holy Curé of Ars Giovanni Maria Vianney. Even despite, a few days ago, It has assisted the elevation of Don Lorenzo Milani Barbiana Prior to the sublime priestly model for the work of the Holiness of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the reigning Pontiff Augustus, to which Enzo Bianchi and Alberto Melloni on duty told directly or indirectly the two magic words before which Francis I even come to losing my mind, but above all objective spirit: "A true priest of the poor … a priest of the last … a frontier priest lost in existential suburbs …», and the game was made, a Bose heretic praise and politician no less heretical to the Bologna School.

.

The future cardinal bishop and president of C.E.I Gualtiero Bassetti, with certain saints certainly it shares the mediocrity and the limited, not, however, the heroic virtues and the sanctity. And apart from a juvenile “office appointment” to curate, in fact, he has spent his entire priestly life preceding the episcopate of the intricacies of the Florentine Curia: assistant at the Institute, then rector of the minor seminar, then rector of the major seminar, then pro-vicar general … In 1994 he was appointed bishop of the diocese of a small but ancient Tuscan Maremma, Massa Marittima, erected in the fifth century in the corner of that splendid Etruscan land and ruled by the proto-vescovo Cerbone; a particular church in which he, reasonably, he should achieve his 75 years of age.

.

But we know well, but above all we experienced several times bitterly on our priestly skin, both in our capacity as submitted both in our capacity as victims, that while men of God called to tremble if certain tasks, since most are equipped with wisdom, intellect, advise, fortress, science, compassion, fear of God, longer feel inadequate, contrary to their mediocre which tend to be cloaked in outward humility and above which the gifts of the Holy Spirit bounce back like rubber balls on a concrete wall, inside themselves they are never happy with what they got undeserved, why try to make up for all their demerits aspiring to get more and more. Here, then, that with all the typical loyalty of the loving and devoted husband, Gualtiero Bassetti leaves only after four years, In the 1998, the diocese of Massa Marittima, to become bishop of the Diocese of Arezzo, and for territorial extension and the number of priests is the second largest diocese in Tuscany. Obviously - God forbid! —, these subjects are accustomed contact their bishop's chair to the clergy and faithful with the tear from the eye of Dramatic Art Theater, uttering the fateful words that ... "against my will, beloved sons and daughters beloved, the Holy Father has commanded me, and I obey " …

.

… but also a bride as the Church of Arezzo It was not up to her husband so much, just like those husbands close to sixty years that once piazzatisi well in society as professionals or entrepreneurs and made a nest egg of money, first leaving his wife to struggle with her menopausal problems and take a girl as a girlfriend 25 years that could be their daughter, which it joins them for love, exclusively for deep passion of love. In this case, the devoted husband Gualtiero Bassetti, Arezzo leaves the bride to become Archbishop of Perugia. E, for the second time, repeats the dramatic art representation of rite, with the announcement made by the Arezzo Bishop's chair: "Unfortunately, the Holy Father has commanded me, and I obey ".

.

It's really unusual that over the last two decades, before these commands given by the Holy Father, if anything, he did not even know the existence, the name and geographical location of certain small and medium-sized Italian dioceses, but that even despite commanded and needless to say offered for the third time at a bride groom more “rich” e “bella” … May, I say never, only one of these “faithless husbands” that he replied: "Blessed Padre", I've already changed two brides, Therefore I beg: let me husband of my wife. Not assigned to me for the third time to a new and larger diocese ". No One faithful husband has instead acted in this way, in a episcopate that seems conducive to divorce and marriage to the second and third most attractive brides. Understandable why: because everyone is the penalty of hard-obedient when it comes to move from a small to a medium diocese, then by an average diocese to a great historical site that benefits the metropolitan pallium. In short, be a little man, first marriage, He had the final blow to marry the daughter of a baron of the province, then his second wife, the daughter of a city Count, It may perhaps be so foolish as to not accept to leave the second to take as a third wife, the daughter of a prince who lives in the capital? In conclusion, in pastoral programs of faith - because here is pure faith that it is, mind you! —, must on the one hand to aim higher and higher, the other point to the deep, ie take off, Christ teaches us in the Gospel of the miraculous catch, indeed it commands just Himself to Peter: "Put out into the deep" [LC 5,1-11]. However, it remains in doubt: Christ the Lord, to Peter, She made him chief of the fishers of men, or leader of a group of wives of fishermen increasingly high places?

.

By the way is clear, it is legitimate, indeed sometimes desirable that in certain large metropolitan locations are assigned the bishops who have already gained pastoral experience, which in rare cases also it occurred in the past, as well as a bishop, Once elected to a seat, It was immovable until death. But it is, precisely, very rare cases. For instance, in Italy, where we have over two hundred dioceses, the great locations that may require a bishop with pastoral experience already gained, will be about ten: Palermo, Naples, Florence, Bologna, Genoa, Milan, Torino … And here again I note that while the Diocese of Arezzo, largest and extensive Umbrian Archdiocese, has 245 parishes and a presbytery formed by 270 priests between secular and, the Archdiocese of Perugia has 155 parishes and a clergy composed of 190 priests, between secular and. But, to Perugia, It is a Metropolitan Archbishop, while that of Arezzo, Although the diocese of major proportions as parishes, clergy and territorial extension, It is a suffragan diocese of the underground headquarters of Florence. And at that Florence, city ​​that the future Cardinal hyper-bergogliano She gave birth, before certain figures it is usual jesting: «Eh, I know you, mask …».

.

Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti is a paradigm for a reason that now illustrate the end: under the pontificate of Giovanni Paolo II, everyone remembers this character, Massa Marittima before and Arezzo later, as a public defender of family and non-negotiable values. Under the pontificate of Benedict XVI, everyone remembers him in Perugia as a public defender of theological orthodoxy and good liturgy. Under Pope Francis I, all we are seeing, in his new role as President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, like a poor man all, refugees e soli juice. there, I wondered if by chance, the great fathers of Roman Law, in addition to soli juice, we do not even coined the legal institution of … juice sola.

.

Perhaps, the forked tongue of Pietro Aretino, before which Giovanni Boccaccio was almost a “shy student”, he made his debut with some sonnets more or less in this way ... "at least the whores customers Changing Images, but even if he was always there remain, to the contrary of other, that put instead quirks and shapes according to the different needs of their customers novi ".

.

How capita, we are talking about people not only lack coherence, but devoid of common sense of the ridiculous, convinced that the People of God may be poor Obtuse formed unable to grasp, understand and analyze. No problem, because they will understand, willy-nilly, you must want to forcibly, When arriving one day a party wall in the square of their cathedral church will feel screaming by a mob angry: "buffoons, buffoons!». And from this eventuality anything but science fiction and remote, Today I say to you - or if you allow me “you a prophet” - that we are not far away. And as, of this, They are also different in their hearts aware episcopets e cardinals, you can well understand why, before moral and social questions of unprecedented severity, They bent his head and fell silent on marriage between same-sex couples, shots on the nth data to the little that remains of the family, the violent ideological forms of an increasingly aggressive secularism towards every Christian sentiment, the dictatorship of gender, by the repressive police actions gaystapo and so on, because on one hand they do not have the manly courage, the other live in fear of losing their social and economic power, who soon will lose, because the countdown has started since the beginning of this new millennium, and today we are now running out of the last grains of sand in the hourglass. We want to understand it or not, that shortly, in Europe we will be outlawed, while the short-sighted Italian episcopate heats within the dangerous Islamic serpent that tomorrow will put our heads in bell towers instead of the clappers of the bells? It is that the heads will be our, not those of Gualtiero Bassetti and Nunzio Galantino, they will meanwhile emigrated to Switzerland, where they will step forward to speaking concierge on our skin and in our blood, continuing to ensure that Islam is a religion of peace.

.

Or do you think that the Italian episcopate has prostituted up to smooth the hair at that devil incarnate by Marco Pannella for pure Christian charity? Come on, mica are children! If he bowed his head before the father of the abortion laws, on civil unions, on gay marriage, and untiring ideologue of homosexual culture, the gender, dell'eutanasia, of genetic testing, of wombs for rent … it was only for a simple reason: a Pope who on the one hand gave rise to his pontificate invoking a poor Church for the poor [cf. WHO], a strong economic crisis, and at the same time a free fall in the course of the credibility of the clergy, beset by moral and economic scandals unprecedented, in such a situation the possessed Marco Pannella would have been enough just half a whistle to mark an unprecedented electoral victory by calling the Italians vote in a referendum popular on the abolition of the Eight Thousand tribute to the Catholic Church; and the first to vote in favor would have been many Catholics. Just so … the Italian episcopate has been sold off as Esau sold off his birthright for a plate of lentils [Gen 12,50] …

.

… and for the first time, around the Chair of Peter, They were seen circling the henchmen of Satan as Marco Pannella and Emma Bonino, one who still called abortion "great social achievement worthy of a civilized country", while the Pontiff who dreams of a poor Church for the poor, He did not hesitate to accept it repeatedly - something instead repeatedly denied four cardinal pious -, and to call it "a large Italian", together with the communist atheist and anticlerical Giorgio Napolitano [cf. WHO]. And here we note in passing that the great atheist and communist Italian Giorgio Napolitano, He turned in his formal address these words to the Roman Pontiff:

.

"We were struck by the lack of dogmatism, the taking of distances from "positions are not touched by a margin of uncertainty", the reference to the "leave no room for doubt" of its "great leaders of God's people" » [Text of the speech, WHO].

.

Which translated means: Finally, a Pope who does not speak of the dogmas of the faith, or the fact that certain issues are not negotiable by the Catholic morality, as for example, the value and the protection of human life from the moment of conception and so forth. Then it follows a marked speech on relativism, anthropocentrism and so, behind which it is not difficult to identify, for us insiders, the hand of certain theologians, or rather of some theological school known Italian, whose founders attended too politics and political buildings …

.

Ah, The poor Church for the poor! Hopefully tomorrow the people there do not take shots with a steel bar in the street, when before long will run out of various scams priests trafficoni that overnight they have set up reception centers for “refugees”, managing one hand large sums of money and on the other by donating a few apartment to the beloved grandchildren. What will happen, the lack of supervision of our "blind guides" [cf. Mt 23,16], when several will be reported Onlus founded by priests for many different purposes benefits, social and welfare, including even a worthy association for the fight against pedophilia, and all species in Southern Italy, when you find that these “pie foundations” They have never submitted a budget, who receive generous funding from various state and European bodies, despite having the Association recommendations “top secret” trained everyone from siblings, sisters, nephews and cousins, none of which has, if anything, a job, but they live as they say on the great big market “charity”? And what will happen when they find out that thanks to “refugees”, different structures of Caritas, especially from Naples down, far from benefiting ninety percent of volunteers free the amor Dei, They have solved certain problems of unemployment, or more easily deficient desire to work, guaranteeing a salary brothers, sisters, grandchildren, cousins, friends and … even “fiancés” of certain priests?

.

Back then the bishops and the cardinals of our discourse in question, It is perhaps best …

.

Even the Cardinal Giuseppe Betori, current Archbishop of Florence, He was under the pontificate of Giovanni Paolo II, from when he was Secretary General of C.E.I. under the presidency of Cardinal Camillo Ruini, a defender of family and non-negotiable values; afterwards, as a diocesan bishop and as a cardinal, under Pope Benedict XVI was a defender of theological orthodoxy and good liturgy. The difference, however, runs between Cardinal Giuseppe Betori and Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, is that the first, mindful of what they thought both Giovanni Paolo II and Benedict XVI, and even before them, Paul VI and John XXIII, hath been careful not to beatify Don Lorenzo Milani, indeed said "to me is not holy" [cf. WHO, WHO], and thus he remained in the consciousness itself before the world and history. A completely different pasta Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, that does not change the nature, but simply changed customer, he immediately declared suitable "for me is holy", thus showing their miraculous himself in the trend of the times [cf. WHO, see video WHO], the so-called … juice sola.

.

In conclusion I repeat that the Holy Father Francis we have deep gratitude, because like the Pied Piper of Hamelin has brought into the open these mice; and here let me tell you, this analysis, I did not now, but four years ago, After just three months of his pontificate [see WHO]. And we, after the extraordinary work of the Pied Piper, mice take them all to jump into the river. Because tomorrow, These paralyzed people in this power, certain that this present is a kind of Unmoved Mover that will never, such as lack of an eschatological future perspective because paralyzed in everything and immediately, immediately, will not in any way be recycled on the new leader wagon, something that we will have to make deep thanks to Pope Francis I, forever. If not, before any attempt to gattopardesco clerical recycling, for us it will be a so-called brainer, remind everyone how they lived and how they acted under this pontificate flattery, in order to obtain ecclesiastical positions and benefits of every kind of merit of the poor, refugees and existential peripheries. Finally it will be our Christian mission “cut off their heads”, from that of Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, one of several that, if anything had been erected in the City, should have given the title of cardinals that of the Church of Santa Maria del Chameleon. Why does this man, tomorrow, as evidence amply lived his life, the minimum wind change would not hesitate to go out in public with seven meters magna hood and to declare that the Crusaders saved entire populations from Muslim attacks and therefore are revered as true defenders of the faith. But most of all, the first change of wind, would not hesitate to declare that should be restored to the healthy and holy old methods of the Inquisition to proceed to burn at the stake Enzo Bianchi and Alberto Melloni.

.

That the Church was holy and prostitute, This affirms the Holy Bishop and dottore Ambrogio, but saying this in his own sermon [chaste whore, in Luke: III, 23], He looked back to the Old Testament literature and particularly the episode of the prostitute Rahab of Jericho who helped the Israelites as a "chaste harlot", that "many lovers to attend the attractions of love but without the contamination of sin '. In opposite way, characters like Gualtiero Bassetti and related, instead they changed the Church in a whore who goes where the wind blows; and this is something else, compared to chaste harlotry. Or in the words of the Rev. Prof. Joseph Ratzinger, this means changing the Holy Church of Christ "in a structure of sin" [cf. Introduction to Christianity, ed 1968], pace the pretext of poor, of refugees, existential suburbs and many priests improvised street today, border and the outskirts, to follow along with all the stereotypes of the South American banana republic seventies now in vogue, on which many are doing dazzling and damaging ecclesiastical careers, without the Tenant Augusto Santa Marta is aware of the damage that is favoring, but most of what in the future will have to answer to Christ, he has entrusted his Holy Bride, not an ideal and idealized villas of misery

.

Despite all this, we believe with deep faith and certain that what the Pope Francis I, through the work of the Holy Spirit grace, will end up being, and with the turn out in retrospect a pontificate that as few others have rendered great service and great good for the Church of Christ for his future.

.

In May 2016, when nobody could imagine certain events present, for sincere honesty deemed it appropriate to address these words to the President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, towards which I was rough in 2013 for the funeral porcine the presbyter Andrea Gallo:

.

"Eminence Father Cardinal, will not be long that we, with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes risogneremo recent times in which we as a reference point and pastoral equilibrium models extraordinary men like her. Tomorrow we will live in your memory and feel dramatically your lack. And those who, like myself, at times they have treated harshly, repent - but if that's why I'm already regretting - of having been strict with you and make your old age less suffering COMING to kiss his hand and telling you with deep devotion that in truth you were authentic Church Fathers; and we'll tell sincere and convinced after trying the worst of it on our skin of priests faithful to the Holy Church of Christ and his teaching is now preparing ' [the entire article is legible WHO].

.

I've never jumped on the bandwagon, suffice it to say that I have lived through years of priestly formation in Rome and then another the following years as a priest in the Diocese of the Supreme Pontiff, without ever having seen once closely neither Giovanni Paolo II nor Benedict XVI nor Francis I.. Also because I have never tried to approach them, even when again and again I paid the pontifical liturgical service of Benedict XVI. And why would I? They mention every day the Holy Father in the Mass canon, this thing that just to them and just to me. If anything, I approach those from large wagon fell, ceasing to be the stars of their descent, and today no one seeks them, perhaps not even remember them, since the journalists chasing them like hounds. To those I have always been close, in their solitude and on their way; and that's where born the most beautiful relationships, when the relationship between the one who approaches, and one who can be approached, It is characterized by the total absence of any kind of interest, certainly not by the hope of ending the three candidates for appointment as bishop.

.

Accordingly I conclude: these words written over a year ago to Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, is there someone who now intends to give me wrong, both before the new Italian episcopate, and before the new presidency of C.E.I, it sounds to me as much as the new president of juice sola on the bandwagon of the great carnival of Rio de Janeiro?

"To date it wanted to reform Rome without Rome, or perhaps against Roma. We must reform Rome with Rome; make that reform steps through the hands of those who must be reformed. That is the true and infallible method; but it is difficult. This work, here labor»

Don Ernesto Buonaiuti [Rome 1881 - Rome 1946]

 

 

 

Article porn-theologian Ermes Ronchi Avvenire [see WHO ]

On the ineffable Future galantiniano the 15 June appeared a commentary on the Gospel of the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord [cf. GV 6,51-58], which states and writes candidly that in this liturgy, "we do not worship the Body and Blood of the Lord" and that it is incorrect to say that "we celebrate Christ who gave Himself, broken body and shed blood " [see article, WHO] .

.

Sollowing the logic philosophical and theological teaching "not seriously pigliateli, take them for the ass ", Pastoral campaign launched recently by The Island of Patmos [cf. WHO], This time it's up to Porn-theologian Ermes Ronchi O.S.M, author of this comment on the organ of the Italian Bishops' Conference and the character of which we have already occupied when he was invited to shoot bursts of heresies in the whole Roman Curia for the preaching of spiritual devotions [see previous article, WHO]. Before talking to that preaching they were not the comments of the defendants but the images of their faces: Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi was smiling portrait photos, a few meters away from the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, frozen and bleached his face as one who is on the verge of collapsing to the ground seized with apoplexy. Needless to say, if instead of Cardinal Müller had been present as his predecessor, Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani, before the games would be thrashing, then, directly in the courtyard of the house of spiritual exercises that is in the Ariccia, which is run by members of the Company of the Indies, already the Society of Jesus, It would have hoisted a pyre. If you think about it would be an act of merciful healthy jubilation, a more perfect expression of Christian charity which wraps around the love of the fire that burns the body of the heretic, purifying the soul. Of course, Today it is difficult to talk about saving roasts in a world in which they are increasing the faithful of "Church of vegetarians "And" church vegans ”, Therefore, we close the speech so as not to offend the members of these other religions increasingly prevalent today and also hardened.

the actress Kim Basinger on a cover of castigatissima Playboy

Before the word "porn" poc'anzi richiamata, someone might think of two magazines like Playboy e Penthouse, but they are not pornographic. Indeed, these are two monthly cataloged between the erotic magazines, which as we know is quite different in substance and form from those porn. One thing is fact ἔρως [eros], something quite different is instead πόρνη [pòrne]. Having said that our readers do not be swayed by the streams of the various tangents, because we intend to stay on the highway exquisite etymological of πόρνη, that is intended for the precise and straight Greek highway, both on the lexical level and on a etymological.

.

At the greek word πόρνηια, from which the entries porn and pornography, we give the original philosophical meaning so to speak motorway, then transposed into the lexicon is the Gospel and in the Apocalypse of Blessed Apostolo Giovanni. The term πόρνη [pòrne], which it is indicative synonymous also prostitute - in noble Romanesco whore ―, It is present in apocalyptic literature [AP 17:1], and it is cited for no less than forty times in the Old Testament.

Said this It goes outlined the substantial and formal difference which exists between two "meritorious" erotic magazines as Playboy e Penthouse, and galantiniano Future : the first two, are erotic magazines, while the second - the galantiniano Future ―, through this article Hermes Ronchi is "consecrated" in all respects as porn daily in the etymological sense of the term.

.

He made use at the end of Porn-theology the eminent Thomist philosopher and theologian Father Cornelio Fabro, that back in 1973 He called out so Porn-theologians :

.

"Who wants to advance cutting ties with the past does not advance, but plunges, he meets the old man walking towards the future of salvation, but it is sucked into the whirlpools of time without hope ".

.

porn-newspaper Future and its monsters on the front page pel joy of all the lefts of the world. it could, the politically correct newspaper of the Italian bishops, blame the heretics?

The article of Ermes Ronchi, before being heretic it is sacrilegious, or as so far explained is Porn-theological. Indeed, for this man, the Eucharist is not to worship but to eat, because otherwise we disprezzeremmo the gift that Christ makes: "That gift is that no one welcomes? That gift is if I offer you something and you do not like and then leave him in a corner?».

.

Well, according Ermes Ronchi, leave Jesus in the tabernacle, Does that mean despise him and "let Him in a corner '? Because according to his words it is obvious that it is not to look at the tabernacle and the ciborium "with what it contains', but it is just eating. Needless to say, these are the basic assumptions through which Giovanni Calvino destroyed the mystery of the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, reducing it to a banquet, to only eat between brothers, that symbolically recalled the presence of Christ in the world.

.

Continues Ermes Ronchi: "In the Gospel of the Mass, Jesus is not speaking of the sacrament of the Eucharist, But the sacrament of his life, that becomes my bread when I take it as a measure, energy, seed, Yeast of my humanity […]. Eating and drinking the life of Christ is not limited to the liturgical celebrations, but it is scattered on the great altar of the planet, in "making the world”» [Teilhard of Chardin]».

.

The Future and its monsters porn-newspaper front page pel joy of all the lefts of the world. it could, the politically correct newspaper of the Italian bishops, blame the heretics?

We observe that in the Gospel Jesus invites us to eat his flesh and drink his blood: "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me and I to him" [cf. GV 6, 51-58]. And with that we remember that at the Last Supper, Christ God took the bread and said, "this is my body"; and took the wine, he said: "This is my blood" [cf. Mt 26; MC 14; LC 22; The Cor 11]. Therefore, the Eucharist is the sacrament of the body and blood of the Lord, and it is false to say that the Gospel of the Mass Christ is not talking of the Eucharist. It is also false to say that the Eucharist is not the existence of the sacrament of the Lord, since on the contrary it contains all of Christ: body, blood, soul and divinity, suffice it to read even the great treatises of dogmatic sacramental, nor the magnificent encyclicals dedicated to the Most Holy Eucharist by the Popes of the twentieth century, but only the Catechism of the Catholic Church, maybe Ermes Ronchi knows, or if he knows, Tips him badly [cf. CCC 1322-1405]. And because the Eucharist contains concurrently for the divinity of Christ who must be worshiped as our God, It is false to deny that in the liturgy of the Mass, "we do not worship the Body and Blood of the Lord" ...

.

... which is to say with fatuous poetic semantics games - and the mysteries of faith are not poetry -, that God is not really present in the Eucharist, which is heresy. Finally it should be noted that the "planet" is not at the altar of the sacrifice of Christ and hence of the Mass. The "planet" is not celebrated any liturgy. The place where the liturgy is celebrated, usually it is not the "world", but it is a place and a sacred building, It is the temple. Why they are built churches? To keep what? We must therefore say that the altar on which it is consumed the sacrifice of Christ, the altar on which Christ the High Priest of the New Covenant celebrated his Mass, the liturgical sacrifice, thanks to which we have the Eucharist, It is not generally the "world", but the cross, understand Ronchi - oh, marrucine donkeys - the cross!

.

porn-newspaper Future and its monsters on the front page pel joy of all the lefts of the world. it could, the politically correct newspaper of the Italian bishops, blame the heretics?

So the altar of the Mass is not "the world", but the altar is the symbol of the cross on the altar and the priest, pronouncing the words of consecration of the bread and wine, renews so bloodless sacrifice of Christ, which it is the foundation and raison d'être of the sacrament of the Eucharist.

.

The world is the creation which is saved and redeemed by the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated in Mass. The altar is the place of the sacred, where priest celebrates sacri-ficial and packages [traverses] the sacrament. The world is profanity [pane], that is purified, consecrated and raised to the sacred [body of Christ], but it is not in itself sacred.

.

AND true that thanks all’Eucaristia Christ is in me, God is in me. However, I know in the Eucharist there is no God, otherwise it could and should adore? How does God come to me through the Eucharist? Then, one of two things: or the Eucharist contains God conjunction, and then it makes sense and Eucharistic adoration; or there is no God in the Eucharist, ma .. "God is also in me". But what a God he is, this God who is "also in me"? Simply said,: It is not the Christian God, but it looks to be the pantheistic God immanentism Hegelian. So a false God, an idol.

It takes a good dose of fantasy or theological ignorance or wickedness or impudence or mental confusion or as best we call it, to collect such an accumulation of errors and heresies in so few lines on such a fundamental issue of faith as the Eucharistic Mystery, for more about a Catholic newspaper controlled by the Italian bishops, which evidently they did not do case to Ermes Ronchi, occupied the most important pastoral duties, from S.It is. Mons. Nunzio Galantino their general secretary, on the one hand committed to assert that God punished the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah [cf. WHO], the other to define "paganism without limits" the statement related to the theology of original sin [cf. WHO]. All this before a general negligence: if there really is a problem "without limits", unfortunately the obvious doctrinal ignorance manifested by certain individuals with their careless and ominous statements. And when someone dared to shake with a horrible "blasphemy" the world galantiniano misericordista, dampish, buonista and ecologist, stating that "God scourges and mercy" [cf. WHO], the product scandal was much and that shortly after we saw some members of the Italian episcopate move around in their underwear in a frantic statement and the other, after they had torn off his clothes as the High Priest in the Temple of Jerusalem [cf. Mt 27,56-68; MC 14,53-55]. It seems that in those days, Roman ecclesiastical tailoring our friend Ety Cicioni in Borgo Santo Spirito, did a roaring trade, in redoing whole kits to several bishops [cf. WHO], with the Fathers de The Island of Patmos who collected percentages under the table joyful for having procured a number of important clients.

We do not claim that S.It is. Mons. Nunzio Galantine do write about Future who wrote it of Ermes Ronchi it is a "paganism without limits", also because of practices, thieves of faith, when they put a couple usually act in this way: one steals and the other for holding the bag. Definitely, Our Readers, before such evidence will understand even better the meaning of the launch of our heartfelt and desperate campaign ... "not seriously pigliateli, take them for the ass " [cf. WHO]. (C)os'altro remains to be done, heresies before the Eucharistic mystery published by the newspaper of the Italian bishops and then spread in the press under the trademark C.E.I, whose initials, Unfortunately, as we all know we do not indicate at all tarot cards China Export, ma la Episcopal Conference, that these days, as a tarot …

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra Letter to the Pope: "Moved by our conscience …».

LETTER OF CARDINAL CARLO CAFFARRA THE POPE: "INSPIRED BY OUR CONSCIENCE ..."

.

We reproduce the letter that Cardinal Carlo Caffarra sent in April to the Supreme Pontiff, and that after two months was made public. Theologian Carlo Caffarra is recognized as the most authoritative expert on issues related to family and life. The Holy Father Giovanni Paolo II considered it a point of reference and again made use of his cooperation in the preparation of important acts of the Magisterium. Even the Pope Francis I has for Him estimate, not least because of his fidelity to the Successor of Peter, but unfortunately, The Holy Father is in a “cage” in which it was put by some obscure characters that surround it and from which unfortunately is not easy to get out …

the Pope Francis I and Cardinal Carlo Caffarra

The recent letter by Cardinal Carlo Caffarra, Archbishop Emeritus of Bologna, He was very touched Father Giovanni Cavalcoli and me, not on an emotional level, but in spiritual depth, as well as the theological and pastoral plan. Both deeply we value Cardinal Carlo Caffarra and knowing what we know is a genuine man of God, an authentic model of faith, a high caliber theologian.

.

These days there is little to smile, but with a devoted affection expression, we want to say to Cardinal: "Father Cardinal, the day when as we all, she will respond for their actions before God, maybe you will have to answer for some thoughts, for certain words, for some works … but not for the omissions! And maybe - though none of us can interpret and even more so in advance of God's judgment -, we like to hope that his manly, Pastoral and praiseworthy escape from complacent omissions, will result from the Supreme Judge, full forgiveness for any sin as we all in thoughts, word and deed. Indeed, escape from those omissions in which not only a large part of the episcopate has fallen, but on which it has its own characterized pavido act and operate pastoral, It is on his part an act of true heroism for which Christ the Bridegroom of the Church to make big merit ".

.

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra during Mass

The public talk by Cardinal Carlo Caffarra is a far cry from the mention of those in closed high prelatizi salons launch fires and lightning on to say and not to say the Holy Father, on the confusion in which the Successor of Peter has slid us with some of his ambiguous expressions. The mention of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra is moved by Free heroic love for Christ's Church, while the drawing-room gossip of certain bishops and curial is only due to a hatred that stems mainly from careers and not granted charges. Indeed, if some of them the Holy Father Francis had set the coveted cardinal's hat, Today they argue that The joy of love is the greatest document of the pontifical magisterium of the last five hundred years, and that a Pope like Francis I have not seen since the days when the Word of God Incarnate walked over the waters of ancient Palestine lakes.

.

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra

In men of God as Carlo Caffarra, we see that light of our Christological future hope before which we express faith more than ever: "I think the Church one, santa, catholic and apostolic ". Instead, before the politicians in Business, which are upstream of those responsible for the increasingly untenable situation in which we pour, we can only say: "It preserves the Church one, santa, catholic and apostolic "by the immense damage it went from defenders of the values “politicians” non-negotiable, that at the time when the wind pulling on the other hand, They could see already the cardinal about the defense of the values “politicians” non-negotiable. Characters whose life and work has been a life of slavery entirely conditioned by the desire to achieve a great seat of an archbishop and a cardinal's hat; bishops that at best have left diocese the collapse composed today by priests divided and contentious; bishops with their priests have been most evident with a more or less comparable to that of a watermelon paternity; bishops who before God and history will be judged as managers and childbirth fathers of today's bad episcopate, born to reactive mechanisms - after all understandable -, Italian episcopate facts emerge from the devastating subjects that preceded them yesterday …

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra during a conference

… it is true, Today we have an episcopate unfortunately formed by several elements imbued with the worst heresies modernist, But, even looking into a possible tragedy “positive outcome”, we can at least say that we no longer have those politiconi bishops and their priests in crisis abandoned the priesthood, they were in the House and talk to Gianni Letta to see if he, too, a good word, could facilitate their transfer to the archbishopric of Milan or the Patriarch of Venice. And having to choose among the bishops who came and went from the living rooms of the worst political award-investigated and those who today, perhaps for conformity or for convenience, They speak only of refugees obsessively, Alas, I would be forced to Christian intellectual honesty to choose these seconds, from santegidino S. AND. Mons. Matteo Maria Zuppi and from’child prodigy S.It is the school of Bologna. Mons. Corrado Lorefice, kissing one and the other ten times the hand. And with each hand kiss I would try to erase from the memory nefarious recent memory of their predecessors defenders “politicians” of non-negotiable values, that before the orgiastic feasts of Silvio Berlusconi made no bones to declare that … "One can not judge from his private life Prime Minister, but by his acts of government ", adding a reprimand to many Italians who dared even to remain outraged by certain feasts red light, that "The outrage is not a Christian sentiment". And today these bishops, retirees and as they say beautifully trumpet, They are the ones who most of all clamoring as parlor lions on the The joy of love and remarried divorcees, while Silvio Berlusconi, that was judged "not on his private life but by his acts of government", Today is eighty years old and as a third mate just thirty years old girl, It was in favor of all the anti-Christian legislation, and it is more or less pathetic as they were and are certain defenders bishops "politicians"Non-negotiable values, behind which only they hoped for a cardinal, thank God never come, while their darling, Berlusconi, like a tree we recognized all of them from the fruits that gave …

.

Is there any spare virgin vilified who intends to complain because today we have an Italian episcopate that reactively, and also understandably, It is for the most part all skewed to the left?

Most Holy Father,

.

it is with some trepidation that I address Your Holiness, During these days of the Easter season. I do so on behalf of Cardinals: Walter Brandmuller, Raymond L. Burke, Joachim Meisner, and my personal.

.

We would like first of all renew our total commitment and our unconditional love to the Chair of Peter, and for your august person, in which we recognize the Successor of Peter and Vicar of Jesus: the "sweet Christ on earth", as he put St. Caterina da Siena. There is minimally belongs the position of those who consider a vacancy in the See of Peter, nor to those who also want to attribute to others the responsibility of indivisible gift petrino. We are motivated only by the awareness of serious responsibility from the gift cardinal: be advisers to the Successor of Peter in his ministry sovereign. And the Sacramento Episcopate, that "he has placed us as bishops to nourish the Church, He has purchased with his own blood " [At 20, 28].

.

The 19 September 2016 we delivered to Your Holiness and to the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith five dubia, [Ed. cf. WHO] asking her to resolve uncertainties and to clarify some points of the Post-Synodal love joy.

.

Having received no response from Your Holiness, we came to the decision to ask you, respectfully and humbly, Hearing, together if it will appeal to Your Holiness. We enclose, as is the practice, Hearing a sheet in which we expose the two points on which we wish to entertain us with you.

.

Most Holy Father,

.

It is now one year after the publication of love joy. In this period they were publicly interpretations of certain passages objectively ambiguous of the Post-Synodal, not differ from, but contrary to the permanent Magisterium of the Church. Although the Prefect of the Doctrine of the Faith has repeatedly stated that the Church's teaching has not changed, They have appeared numerous statements of individual bishops, of Cardinals, and even of Episcopal Conferences, approving what the Magisterium of the Church has never approved. Not only access to the Holy Eucharist of those who objectively and openly living in a situation of serious sin, and intend to stay there, but also a conception of moral conscience contrary to the Church's Tradition. And so it is happening - oh how sad to say! - that what is sin in Poland is well in Germany, what is forbidden in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia it is permitted in Malta. And so on. This brings to mind the bitter realization of B. Pascal: “Justice on this side of the Pyrenees, injustice beyond; Justice on the left bank of the river, injustice on the right bank”.

.

Numerous competent lay, deeply love with the Church and solidly loyal to the Holy See, They have turned to their pastors and to Your Holiness, to be confirmed in the Holy Doctrine on the three sacraments of Marriage, Confession and the Eucharist. And in these days, in Rome, six lay people from every continent have proposed a much frequented Study Seminar, the significant title: "To clarify".

.

Faced with this serious situation, in which many Christian communities are splitting, we feel the weight of our responsibility, and our conscience pushes us to ask humbly and respectfully Audience.

.

Want Your Holiness remember us in your prayers, The as we assure you that we will do in our. And we ask for the gift of His Apostolic Blessing.

Who interprets the concept and the datum of faith "God chastises and uses mercy", as an expression denoting "a judgment of a paganism without limits", shows to be a person belonging to another religion, or at least to a thought other than Catholic, as well as immersed in thoughts “prehistoric”. If not, unfortunately it runs the risk of trying response in supercazzole: "Supercazzola premature? Blindo Come fosse antani, tapioca sbiricuda» [cf. My friends, act II, 1982].

Find the priest,

I am a priest of the Diocese of Milan engaged at the time in Bible studies. During a lesson a few days ago, It emerged the theme of “chastisements of God” […] The teacher asked us to read an article of the Franciscan Biblical scholar Giulio Michelini, that there around with the present. A me, This article does not convince, but maybe I'm wrong, wonder why your own opinion.

Don Emanuele (Milan)

less than the response Foreword:

.

super cazzola, Definition from the Italian vocabulary: "Word or phrase without meaning, pronounced earnestly to impress and confuse the other party '.

Zingarelli Dictionary, 2016

.

.

the supercazzole Ugo Tognazzi, in the role of the legendary Count Mascetti, the cemetery of San Miniato al Monte in Florence – to open the video click on the image.

Ugo Tognazzi She gave birth to other sacred monsters Italian film trilogy My friends, which it was coined the expression "supercazzola", today became the literary lemma, as before it became "the Leopard" by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, so much so that the leopard is now entered into the vocabulary of Italian and various other international language as a synonym for transformation. The motto "supercazzola", that from 2016 It was entered into the vocabulary of the Italian language [see WHO, WHO], It is a term that indicates a "word or phrase without meaning, pronounced earnestly to impress and confuse the other party '.

.

Clarified the literary meaning of "supercazzola" according to the dictionary of the Italian language, Now we proceed to the examination of Article Franciscan theologian Father Giulio Michelini, Posted in Future the 9 November 2016 and so titrated: «Matthew and the story of the earthquake. In the Gospel the earthquake Theophany, not a punishment ". We respond willingly to the question addressed to us by a young Milanese priest who lights asks us in this regard; and we do the first referring readers to the full text of the article learned Franciscan, we proposed at seven months of its publication [see WHO].

.

Reading this text He realizes that the author does not know either what is a theophany, or what is God's punishment. Indeed, The basic observation to be done to Father Giulio Michelini is that divine punishment is a Theophany Theophany and can be divine retribution, because otherwise it risks falling into meaningless expressions of Ugo Tognazzi in the guise of the legendary Count Mascetti: "Supercazzola premature? Blindo Come fosse antani, tapioca sbiricuda … » [see video above].

.

"Theophany", indeed, It means nothing more than "manifestation" or "appearance" of God. Of course in this life, God does not appear immediately in its essence, "face to face" [The Cor 13,12], something that will only happen in the beatific vision of Paradise. And yet, as it is apparent from biblical narratives, God may appear and appears in different ways indirectly, covertly, «come in enigma» [ibid.], through pictures, symbols, visions, creatures and natural phenomena, which may have collected substantially into two categories: sometimes God appears in rewarding way, encouraging and comforting, so as to show his affection, his kindness and mercy; at times it shows us an angry and stern face, though still paternal, sending misfortunes and sufferings, to try and strengthen our virtues, let us repent of our sins and exhort us to conversion. He looks so terrible and frightening especially to sinners and his enemies.

.

In this second case we have the punishment, which, however, we must be understood as a correction, and accept it as expiation for us or for others, following the example of Christ, Yes that, if we have to suffer from innocent people for Christ's sake, evidence becomes "perfect joy" [GC 1,2]. Only the damned God appears as irreconcilable enemy, But not because of God, but because of them, because until the end of their lives they refused the offer of divine mercy.

.

The steps of the quoted Gospel by Father Giulio Michelini can be plastic and emphatic expressions to manifest and signify the strength and power of God in exceptional events. In this sense I agree that in some places of the Gospels an earthquake does not necessarily doom, but in fact is a theophany of divine power which signals and underlines the importance of certain events of salvation history.

.

In other places of Scripture, instead, the punitive meaning of the earthquake is evident [AP 6,12; 8,5; 11,13.19; 16,18]. The rest, as we find in the story contained in the Book of Genesis, which he tells of the punishment for original sin, the hostility of nature is a result of this sin [Gen 3,18]. It is not unthinkable that there are earthquakes in paradise.

.

If it is true that, as Scripture teaches, sin produces suffering and death, It is not difficult to appreciate the damage that come from nature, without excluding negligence, neglect and human improvvidenze, have a link with original sin and also, as the Bible indicates, with our own sins, although it is true that an earthquake that affects entire populations, and above it may also involve many innocent. But it is precisely for this reason that the Christian faith has a comforting answer, namely, that these innocent - then none of us is ever what a perfectly innocent - have the opportunity to join the redemptive cross of Christ.

.

Thus the wisdom of the Christian It is to see the presence of God in everything that happens. Of course, the term "Theophany" agrees especially the divine manifestations that give joy; yet the Christian is able to see a theophany in the above sense even in times of trouble, of pain and misfortune. On the contrary, here lies the so-called ace in the hole of the christian.

.

Every sensible man, it is not a fool atheist, He can see God in the things that are going well. The hard part is knowing how to see a God of justice and mercy when things go wrong. Being able to see God, as Luther said, «void contrary species». Being able to understand the mystery of the Crucified, "Scandal for the Jews, foolishness for the pagans " [The Cor 1,23]. Being able to see the supreme beauty under the guise of collapse, life under the guise of the dying, salvation under the guise of the convicted, Bliss under the appearances of the desperate; because even and especially in these elements, It manifests the true and solid faith in God the Father, creator of heaven and earth, Incarnate Word in His only begotten Son, in the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

.

The Christian who has survived an earthquake, what does? What do you think? How does it react? What ideas, such feelings should inspire the priest or bishop? Certainly not blame a cruel God or helpless, with fate or with his stepmother nature, as did the poet Giacomo Leopardi; certainly not restarsene fatalistically dazed and mute before a fact that seems absurd and incomprehensible; not enough to reassure, as they would Lucretius o Spinoza, the thought of the "laws of nature"; do not swear at the Ministry or against geologists, not protest the delay of rescue, but thank God for escaping; It is reminiscent of original sin and asks God's mercy; prays for victims, it gives the suffering to console, He collaborated in the rescue and, I am shaken by the strong call of God, who repent of their sins, It increases the good intentions and offers her suffering for the conversion of sinners.

.

The novelty of Christianity than the old religion greek-Roman, It was precisely to bring the thinking and feeling human being outside from a cantankerous-punitive vision of the gods, driving towards preventive and corrective vision of a loving and merciful Father, "Slow to anger, abounding in love" [Shall 102] that takes care of creation and of man, created in his own image and likeness. Therefore, who interprets the concept and the datum of faith "God chastises and uses mercy" [cf. Tb 13,2], as an expression that denotes "a judgment of a paganism without limits" [cf. WHO], shows to be a person belonging to another religion, or at least to a thought other than Catholic, as well as immersed in thoughts “prehistoric”. It's here, Unfortunately, instead of trying response and off for our walk in the revealed mysteries of faith, unfortunately it runs the risk of trying response in supercazzole: "Supercazzola premature? Blindo Come fosse antani, tapioca sbiricuda …» [cf. My friends, act II, 1982, cf. WHO].
